But even most people who think they're smart because they watched the video, aren't that smart, and they'll talk.
No it won't. We are totally toothless here. A few ignorant politicians trying to score points by sounding tough in the media isn't going to make any difference.

Yes, and thinking, that @supports selector is also suggested in one of the examples in the article:

/* Warning message
about support for :has() */

@supports selector(:has(img)) {
body small {
display: none;
}
}

And I sure love it when CSS performs according my preference, but I'd never complain about a UA not implementing or a user prefer her own style over agent or author.
The inspiration isn't really from country, it's more from rautalanka style instrumental rock like The Shadows and from Finnish schlager.

Another by the same composer, more on the rautalanka and schlager end, less on the (speed) metal:

Hautajaissydän

Päivä päättyy hurmeiseen punaan
Hurmaavampaan purppuraan
Silti seisoo naulittuna
Hahmo surullisen prinsessan

Harvoin puhuu, harvemmin hymyilee
Häävalssit häntä ei vie
Sydänystävinään saattoväk',
Kirkkomaa ja hiekkainen tie

Lailla päivänkorennon liitää
Hän päällä vaienneen veen
Kun pilvien viulut hetkeksi tanssiin saattelee

Ja kun musiikki päättyy hän laskee
Päästänsä hiljaisen seppeleen
Josta auringonkukat ja kuutamonliljat varisee

Akkunalla pisara veren
Kruunu keisarin seuranaan
Sydämessä on pauhu veren
Rantakalliot kasvoinaan

Hän hennoilla harteillaan kantaa
Mekkoa kuin maailmaa
Perintönään raskas mieli on
Ja aatosten autiomaa

Lailla päivänkorennon liitää
Hän päällä vaienneen veen
Kun pilvien viulut hetkeksi tanssiin saattelee

Ja kun musiikki päättyy hän laskee
Päästänsä hiljaisen seppeleen
Josta auringonkukat ja kuutamonliljat varisee

Lailla päivänkorennon liitää
Hän päällä vaienneen veen
Kun pilvien viulut hetkeksi tanssiin saattelee

Ja kun musiikki päättyy hän laskee
Päästänsä hiljaisen seppeleen
Josta auringonkukat ja kuutamonliljat varisee
Pois varisee

Funeralheart

The day ends in a gore-tinged red
In a more charming crimson
Still stands as if nailed in place
The figure of a mournful princess

Rarely talks, less still smiles
Wedding waltzes don't lead her
As her soulmates, mourners
The churchyard and a gravelly road

Like a mayfly she glides
Over waters that've fallen quiet
When the clouds' violins lead into a dance for a moment

And as the music ends she lowers
Off her head a quiet bouquet
From which fall sunflowers and moonlilies

On the sill a drop of blood
As its company a kaiser's crown
Her heart's filled by the roar of blood
With shorecliffs for a face

On her frail shoulders she carries
A dress as though it were the whole world
Her inheritance a heavy mind
And the barren land of thoughts

Like a mayfly she glides
Over waters that've fallen quiet
When the clouds' violins lead into a dance for a moment

And as the music ends she lowers
Off her head a quiet bouquet
From which sunflowers and moonlilies drizzle

Like a mayfly she glides
Over waters fallen quiet
When the clouds' violins lead into a dance for a moment

And when the music ends she lowers
Off her head a quiet bouquet
From which sunflowers and moonlilies fall
Fall off

Translator's note: "Verenpisara" (lit. "bloodsdrop" is a name for fuchsia. "Kaiser's crown" is also a flower)
The structure however is still largely ASCII text. It needs to be treated as binary of course, due to the use of offsets everywhere and the fact that the xref table is hardcoded to have a specific length per xref in bytes. But if you look at a lot of simple or old PDFs, it's not hard to find some that don't use any binary encodings.
Unfortunately.. I miss the days where manufacturers were more willing to be bold.
Maybe?

I just don't see the point, though.

Once you've said "it's gotta be under the watchful eye of the government," well...

Fiat currency is a thing, and doesn't require massive computer networks with mindbendingly-complex algorithms to do.

I see absolutely no advantage to the cryptocurrency design if it's going to be used and regulated in a centralized manner.

Once you go there, it just seems like it's "banks 2.0, but with software that's way harder to get right."
I was kinda joking that places like Google might have good processes but most places just cargo cult it and do it incorrectly. My current job does reviews that are so useless I don’t even participate anymore and no one cares. I really want to work at a place where they care about code quality and an effective process.
Nice backpedal, blaming other for your not reading or knowing anything about what you are attacking. What part of 2GW, 240-350GWh says diurnal to you, can you not divide?
I'd be okay with this! The laptop market has become a bit too homogeneous.
Which is true, but studies have shown that it is the increased time spent in the heated indoors that causes disease, not the time spent in the cold outdoors.
It’ll happen to TikTok too, if it hasn’t already.
To be honest, this sounds like bloody red meat to any black or grey hats out there interested in having some infiltration fun. Why not show up at Twitter’s hq with a mouth full of smart sounding engineering babble and a backpack full of spycraft toys?

>All the interviews I’ve taken in the last 10 years have been with passing interest on my part. And I go into it more as an interview of the company, and much less care about if they think I’m hitting some arbitrary bar.

This is honestly how I've treated every interview. I'm mostly concerned about whether the position is a good fit for me. I treat the questions they ask me as if I was chatting with a coworker since I figure that shows them what I'm like to work with.
I wonder if there's some precedent for an app of this scale? I can't think of one.

One thing to think about is you're talking in technical terms. 100 dudes could "do the job" maybe. But an equally interesting question arises: of all the people who left, how many were managers?

If there are more strategists than "doers", you got a top-heavy organization. Those usually can't sustain themselves because no matter how good the plan is, things actually need to get done.

A fascinating case for future business classes in any case.
Technically, he did secure Moscow.

As an aside, Napolean is not listed on the the Wikipedia page of Pyrrhic victories.
> Specifically my guess (and I'm no expert) is a plasma wakefield accelerator feeding a free electron laser to get tunable wavelength EUV light far cheaper and simpler than what they've got now

Don't you think they'll also be using a retro encabulator, with the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive directance being used to generate the EUV light?
Interviewers really appreciate honesty and if they don't it's a flag. My last interview for the current role I am in, I was confident as I knew I could do what they expected of me. They asked me if I knew a certain automation deployment tool, I just replied nope and that was it, no follow up 'I am sure I could learn it blah, blah blah'. The interviewer just made a kind, sure, OK shrug and I was offered the role a week later.
Sounds a lot like the tar file format.
Big bag of popcorn open here for the game. Looks like it's the top of the second inning now.

Musk has been part of companies that started with and around him. Coming into something mature is a different thing. I suspect he's got at least some learning curve.

Wonder if he's taking advice and from whom.
I think the promise of future bribes buys you favors. Past bribes, and the inability to pay future bribes, won't get you very far.

I'm trying to write program to solve it as a practice. I've almost got the algorithm part done, but I have to input the puzzle manually. I wonder if there is a way to automatically fetch and read the puzzle.
Interesting, I have never found Tylenol to change my emotional or mental state.
> So it's rarely done by people who would've paid for the stuff but it's mostly done by people who would have paid (just not as much)?

No. People who would pay actually pay for stuff, and very few of those people pirate.

People who pirate would not pay for that stuff anyway.

The "omg pirating makes it impossible for people to sell their works" has been proven to he false many times over.
Why does the live demo of your app require me to sign up?
This is an example of fairy tail thinking though because so many people say this. Government spending money that didn’t directly come from taxes during inflation is just going to pour fuel on the inflation fire, regardless of how useful the investment.

Money needs to be taken out of circulation, not added.
> That's true of subscription software, too. Developing any feature takes time, often a lot more time than you thought. It might be longer for the traditional model, but a feature that takes 2000 developer hours takes 2000 developer hours regardless of what your sales model is.

The OP means that in standard model you can't ship a feature even if you already spent 2000 hours and it's production ready if it's not big enough to justify new major release.
Might be a trade-off between propping up trust in the bonds market and safeguarding trust in democracy.
I like Neocities, but if I'm going to make a site, I'd rather do it with a host I know to be permissive and have proper procedures in place for handling false reports.

Don't worry, it just means your brain is still functioning. I was in high school when Vine came out and even back then I thought it was a waste of time.
> "Does this PR actually do what the ticket it is claiming to implement actually intended?"

Let me ask about your unspoken assumption: is this the PR reviewer's job? Maybe the PR seems to implement what the ticket asked for, then after merging it becomes clear that it didn't fully implement it, or the business stakeholders are unsatisfied, etc.?
I have only been reading the details through Money Stuff, but according to Levine, the banks are taking a bath on the deal. Currently trying to underwrite the debt for 60-70 cents on the dollar.
Rather than being scared, it’s worth reading up on how the extradition system works and understanding how this impacts your ability to travel globally if you do things that are likely to be illegal somewhere. If you travel somewhere that has an extradition arrangement with a 3rd country and that country makes an extradition request for you, you could be extradited. In some cases you can be extradited from your home country if they have such an arrangement although some countries have a policy where they won’t extradite their own citizens (eg I think Russia does this) so if they had stayed home they might not have been extradited.

This looks like a decent starting point https://www.arnoldporter.com/en/perspectives/advisories/2020...
Once every 2-3 years as a refresher anyway. Yup.
I think that’s the nerdiest thing I’ve been accused of. Thank you, I’ve finally been accepted by your elite fraternity… lol
The active ingredient acetaminophen is anti-inflammatory which is where the reduced anxiety effects come from, perhaps you're not suffering from inflammation enough for it to take effect
Modern software interviews are really testing how you handle stress. I've just done enough interviews to not freak out anymore. Sometimes I get presented with a puzzle and crash & burn, but most of the time I work through the problem.

I get maybe 50-50 reject or offer if I get an initial interview. When you realize a decent software dev can easily get 4-6 interview loops going (TYVM monthly who is hiring/wants to be hired threads) it really helps to put it in perspective.
In my college linguistics class the prof told us about a study involving adult language learners that measured foreign language fluency against number of drinks consumed. Fluency went way up with one drink, peaked at two drinks, and rapidly fell off after that.

Outside academia, I once played in a band where the singer got nervous before every show. Things went a lot better once we persuaded her to start having a drink (one drink) before going onstage.

I always go into a performance or an interview fine but then have a panic halfway through. The trick is to recover from that and keep things moving.
That's already kinda the direction of his current tweets.
I went all-in on Tailscale couple of years ago but slowly (and painfully) moving away from it.

It's a fantastic service but with a big flaw: its iOS app eats battery like crazy. I didn't know about it until I accidentally saw it one day: IIRC, it had consumed 20-25% battery averaged out over 10 days. (I used to keep it running in the background all the time, only to route DNS requests to pihole on a home server.) When I googled, it seems like a known problem on their forums for a long time.

So, beware if you are an iOS user.
I go for cycling with some people I found on Facebook. I had however stopped for the past month.
I don't understand this criticism. How does a "next reviewable diff" pop-up suggest that you're being forced to review a diff "in isolation"? As I understand it, nothing proposed in this article prevents you from reviewing the diff in context of the larger piece of software, as you would have always done.

This just seems like a feature to suggest another diff for you to review after you've finished accepting/rejecting the current diff. I'm already "in the zone" of code review so to speak, so this minimizes context switching. I see this is a good thing.

> The fact that they got rid of the part of the PR review process that matters

I don't understand this either. What "part of the PR review process" did they remove? The article does not claim to have eliminated any part of the review process.
I am puzzled by the statement too. Live CD means restarting the host and boot it with that CD then retrieve whatever. I doubt that CD is sitting next to people got encrypted when it happens.
You did not provide arguments. You provided two statements: "You can build a form, but sadly web components are not popular" and "anything more complex than forms requires web component tech".

You can go to State of JS and see the top used frameworks https://2021.stateofjs.com/en-US/libraries/front-end-framewo... You can then tell me how many of them "require web component tech" (hint: only lit uses web components as underlying tech, none of the others use those, and have no intention to)
FTR, I read this thread. You’re 100% right but probably misunderstood because new generations have not known anything else.

To me, when employees took company healthcare insurance in the US as a perk, I think the problems began. It’s worse than infantalising. It is creating servitude. “Work, lest thou looses their primal needs of bodily integrity.”
I don't think the cases are ultimately the difficult thing - it's some upfront work, but ultimately Finnish is agglutinative. That is, one adjustment to a word does one thing, and no more, unlike Romance languages.

The langauge is also pretty regular, and whether you're using puhekieli (lit. spoken language) or kirjakieli (lit. "book lamguage"), what you see written is what you can say and be understood.

Some often not mentioned difficult parts include the fact that Finnish has both front and back vowels, and that the language allows you to use long vowels and doubled consonants very freely, which makes it difficult for a foreigner to pronounce.
I’ve had similar experiences on large doses of mush. I think it’s in your head, but it’s something that your subconscious self really wanted your conscious self to acknowledge. For you, perhaps you are in the habit of “rationalizing” away profound experiences which serves to protect you from being overwhelmed by life. But sometimes you need to be swept away by life and give in to your senses. There’s truth in our subconscious reactions, truth beyond what our conscious selves can reason about.

I believe psychedelics make it easier to become religious, because they teach you how to have faith in a higher power than your conscious self. I now have a deeper trust in the universe, which is another word for God, which is another word for my subconscious.
Tossing pejoratives like 'psychopath' around in information-free ways is a marker of a bad HN comment, regardless of who it is you're putting down—although the celebrity aspect makes it worse because it adds sensationalism. If you've read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, it should be obvious that this isn't in the intended spirit of the site. In fact, if that isn't obvious of your comment, of which comment would it be obvious?

It's common for people to conclude that the mods secretly hold the opposing view to theirs*. I suppose the logic goes like this: (1) I can't possibly have broken the rules; (2) yet the moderator has scolded me; (3) why? there must be some other reason; (4) it must be that they disagree with me. The mistake is at step (1). The truth is, we don't care—we just want commenters to use the site as intended.

Ok, then please enlighten me. What is misissuance in DANE?

Because if misissuance in DANE is your TLD hijacking your domain... how does insecure DNS + WebPKI prevent that kind of attack?
It sounds like he realizes there is much more to life than physical comfort, and he has the strength and perspective to live accordingly. Excessive physical comfort is often addictive, ultimately unsatisfying, and leads to sadness and weakness. Per the ancient stoics, avoiding it (the virtue of temperance) helps build the strength that makes it possible to escape suffering, and actually enjoy life more.

Two of the most famous stoics Seneca and Marcus Aurelius were among the wealthiest and most powerful men in Ancient Rome yet intentionally lived like you describe because they saw it as virtuous, but also helping make them personally happy people.

I am personally prone to chronic depression and have found that living simply and embracing discomfort helps me to be less depressed. I can afford to live in extreme comfort but I wouldn’t be happy like that, I would feel lethargic and weak… like a pampered pet and not a person with strength and purpose.

What you have described is living your life where you satisfaction comes only from purchasing comfort. Doesn’t that feel a bit empty and pointless? What is important to you in life? Couldn’t you do better at things that were really important, and thus be happier and more satisfied if you had cultivated the strength to not need those comforts?
They don’t have the criminals to beat secrets out of, they have a cooperative non-criminal researcher who is trying to help willingly and you guys want to beat them with a wrench because …. reasons.
> apricot trees from Rostov could eventually be grown in Mitchurinsk, 650 km further up north

Huh? I looked up

- Rostov 57°11′N 39°25′E

- Michurinsk 52°53′N 40°29′E

Looks like Rostov is further north than Michurinsk??
> But we can't calculate our way to a rose [..] How complex phenomena emerge from the fundamental laws of the universe is a blank spot on the map of human understanding. You're looking there and saying "I don't see a road to free will through here." You think this says something about free will, but all it really does is say something about the map.

I think this is a very good argument and I think I will use it myself in the future.

But I can see that our current understanding of physics can have a road to a rose, even if I can't see the road.

I can't see how our current understanding of physics can have a road to decision making that is different from an artificial neural network or an ensemble of boosted trees.

So where I am stuck on the free will question is: Either my computer has free will, or humans don't. And we generally consider computers to not have free will, because they follow their programming. So what is it that humans do, that is fundamentally different from following our programming?

> As long as our ability to freely make decisions doesn't violate our understanding of physics, you can't say that our understanding of physics excludes our ability to freely make decisions.

My argument is that we are not making decisions freely, but we are a complex system, running entirely on reactions following the laws of physics in fundamentally the same way that water doesn't make a decision about where to flow, it just flows.
I wonder what Brooks would think about it.

Also if you change one very low level function (maybe something in the runtime, Unicode handling etc.) you'd also have to recompile the world. In some ways it's nice to reference things by a name, and let the implementation change without needing to care about the details. It's semver's raison d'etre
He didn't start Tesla at all. He bought a majority stake for $6.5 million and then drove the founders out.
Interesting that the wiki says that the performance enhancing effect comes from a lower heart rate, which is something you can influence with practice.

You can lower your resting heart rate naturally through exercise over time, and meditation and breathing techniques with practice give you control of your heart rate in the moment.

It makes sense if you decide that Elon is guilty of "wrongthink", at that point for this mob nuance and context out the window and they will burn anyone at the stack. Works the other way, if you are say the right things then your actions don't matter. Say the right incantations and get away with murder/robbery, no one cares.

Main difference is that crystalball still runs all the tests, but runs the recently failed ones first.

Nabaz selects a small subset of affected tests, reducing CPU usage, and more importantly improving speed drastically!
I love Neocities. When I killed my corporate social media accounts, I bought my domain and pointed it to my neocities page. When people ask me, how do I find you? I tell them, "Instead of typing facebook.com in the bar on the top of the browser, type myname.com."
So many question!

I am afraid to even install TikTok. For past 6 months, I have spent an average of 4 to 5 hours on Youtube Shorts. I was addicted to them. And it is a much less addictive version of TT (or so I am told).

I forcefully broke the habit by disabling the YT app. Then I started watching them in the browser.

It took enormous will to break out of that addiction (and other addictions as well. I removed Reddit, Twitter, IG, FB and SC)

YET, I still spend an hour, randomly, on YT shorts.

I am worried for the future of my next generation, where their most productive time would be a relaxing break from social media.
When someone says "I’m a big fan of TikTok", I just cringe and don't even bother raising my eyebrows. It is cringy people thinking they are cool and screaming all day long. How can anyone watch these for hours?

I don’t care if it is a trope, I miss key changes. Maybe because I grew up in the 80s and early 90s where it was common. But I have a fondness for songs that had them.

Some songs did them in a way that was predictable, just following the formula of others, but some did them really well.

One stand-out example, to me, is how Seal closes the song “People Asking Why” (around the 3:16 mark):

With his vocal range, he was one of the few that could pull something like that off.
