> it does take a special kind of idiot to believe that appointed judges can launch a coup to protect the elected president

What else do you call the massive censorship campaign that's been going on before, during and after the elections? They censored some pro-Bolsonaro videos without even looking at the content, this "fake news" stuff is pure bullshit. They clearly conspired to elect Lula and abused their powers to help him.

Actually I'll go even further. We are living under a judicial dictatorship right now. Censorship equals dictatorship, it's that simple. These judges are traitors who couldn't care less about the constitution.

> and why on earth is this on Hacker News?

Why wouldn't it be? Lots of people here are brazilians and have brazilian employees. What happens here matters. Lula has already signaled that he plans to regulate the software developer profession and that will have major implications for remote work.

> I guess even Jovem Pan is beginning to realize this whole movement is a clown show.

This "clown show" just turned into an official matter. Bolsonaro's party just submitted a formal request to dismiss the votes of the older, less thoroughly audited voting machines that mysteriously have no serial number. They can't censor it anymore.
Even if the EPA were negligent in its handling of the operation, fixating on that does seem to miss the point that they were only in that position because a private company created it and left it for someone else to handle. That's also the point you're missing from the analogy.

I don't think it's unexpected that an agency in charge of cleanups like this is going to have some blunders. Should they have handled it better? Fine. But that's not much of a statement.

I think you'd have to make a claim about the EPA's net impact/value to say something interesting here.
I do not think of wood like that. I see wood as a great material for shaping, adjusting, bolting news onto etc.

If I ever got actually good at making stuff I would never be able to stop tinkering.

Fortunately, I am not good (and need to make money) so it remains an aside - a nice way to fail better.
Maybe. I've reread the comment and it can be read either way. Worst case scenario is that my comment remains correct but tone deaf, so I'm not going to retract it, but am open to a correction if GGP chooses to offer one.

Qoah so they really threw him under the bus. Crazy that the editorial staff didn't even pause when article 5 was brought up. It seems like something you might want to really be sure about, and ask more questions on who did it (not just making sure that missiles actually landed somewhere). Extremely careless
I never said it's easy if you have nothing yet. But it's satisfying ;)

And yes, I started by building Paul's workbench actually. I built the version that uses regular old 2x4s and 2x6x glued together. He also has a version using plywood. I built it using only hand tools I bought off Ebay and the "work bench" I used to build that was just some old Ikea table I had. You might use a couple of cheap saw horses and a sheet of plywood. Heck you can make the saw horses using just 2x4s and hand tools without any "bench" and go from there. https://paulsellers.com/paul-sellers-workbench-plans/ and his first video literally starts with "How do you make a work bench when you don't have a work bench to make it on. Here you are on your knees ...". But there's also a video on his channel where he actually makes on of these in his back yard like I mentioned.

And yes, I bought files, both to get rid of the existing, bad, teeth and cut in the new teeth. Also a tooth setting tool for the left/right 'bending'. I only did that once I had his work bench finished and a vise mounted to it. No "saw vice" (whatever that is) needed. FWIW, I've only had to sharpen my rip cut saws so far though. Cross cut will be harder, yes. Looking forward to it!

Also I see you meant your reply in a good way, i.e. yes, I'm way down the rabbet hole. I do have a manual router from Lee Valley ;)
At my current company they say it’s not necessary to go into management, but there are plenty L5+ managers/directors and I don’t know of a single engineer at L5+ outside of management.
You could write an arbitrarily complex analyzer to try to find violations but I suspect that the halting problem means that you can never be sure you've found all errors.
I think that either crude heuristics (found two bugs!) or UBSan style instrumentation (finds all bugs in code executed under test) is the best set of solutions.
Whoah. What an absolutely spot-on deacription. It’s nice to be nice!
That's not how I read the linked story? That particular Slack message happened to coincide with his doctor's appointment, but the article that printed had his byline on it. Surely he wrote it, or at the very least dictated it to an editor who put it in the system. No one publishes stories on the wire based on a two-message slack thread sent from the doctor's office!
First thanks for reply!

My mom also have Idiopathic PD, no one in family has it.

This is my observation too.

My mom also had auditory hallucinations even tried to suicide with long term use of Amitriptyline, so we discontinued it. Recently she started complaining about urine incontinence.

How did you managed mildly hallucinations, mood swings, urine incontinence? Any medication to improve the mood?
Safely writing code that isn't thread-safe
I worked on a project in 2016 that told me all I needed to know about the space. It was an online voice assistant and I couldn't find myself wanting to interact with it. Even though I spent a lot of time on the project, I scrapped it, because it was just lame. It looked kind of cool, but was lame.

I personally don't think there is enough cybernetica to control with voice. At some point there may be, but right now, the internet is just one giant consumption stream with a few searches and purchases now and then.

That digital daemon experience taught me that I care more about physical intelligence than verbal intelligence when it comes to my technology. I'm verbally intelligent myself, I don't need an AI who can't even speak correctly, let alone understand me, be my verbal interface to the world.
My understanding is that as a doctrine libertarianism generally believes that there is a role for government in society and that its functions should be explicitly enumerated, not arbitrarily expanded without the consent of the people, and not infringe on certain guardrails (freedom of speech, consent, etc) notwithstanding rediculously claims about society that certain individual libertarians often make.

Not sure how that's a "limit". Seems more like a "compromise" with anarchy.

100% agreement, spot on observations! Indeed, we end up referring folks to cool diagramming tools all the time at Graphistry as d2/mermaid/diagrams.net are well-optimized for quick & beautiful diagram presentation tasks on manageably sized & fairly static datasets. Using Graphistry to do a quick markdown of how a 4 node cluster might work is a bit like driving a tank to pick up some milk :) Teams go to us more for gnarly investigation & splunking tasks that need a visual power tool, like looking at alert logs or big systems, so we optimize for making that scale interactive & easy.

The overlap is real however, so a lot of room for teams to learn. Ex: We're the easiest graph tool for jupyter/databricks/streamlit etc teams who use dataframes, and I can imagine those tools learning from us here. In the reverse direction, our work more in terms of quickly configurable global data<>viz data bindings ("using the UI or API, bind each event's score to a hot-and-cold coloring palette and use a warning icon on all type=alert events"), but we have a ways to go to support the more manual artisinal effects of diagramming tools like Figma, where each element might have a super fancy & unique border style.
>I can’t imagine a US intelligence official would be wrong on this

Has this AP reporter been asleep for … their entire career? Charitably, I can interpret this as the reporter thinking they wouldn’t make up something about a potential Article 5 event, but - and maybe it’s my cynicism about this war - wouldn’t that mean you’d want to guarantee that what you’re saying is super precise? “Russian missiles hit Poland” vs “Russian missiles fired by Ukraine hit Poland” obviously mean very different things.

Doesn’t look like LaPorta did anything wrong here, necessarily, and this looks like an editorial problem to me.
Started woodworking when I started a little back yard farm and built all of the housing for the animals. Learned a lot. Built everything with my wife, who outside of comfort operating power tools, is a much better builder than I am.

Forced me to confront a lot of my shortcomings as a developer because iteration is a lot more expensive in woodworking than it is in programming.
In fact the fix to the WebRTC bug was to adjust the clobber list, thus telling the compiler to save the registers.

Why the compiler didn't notice that registers were being used that weren't on the clobber list is unclear to me. Your suggestion seems totally reasonable.

I thought this was a well written article and I loved the graphics (especially the one about 30 minute meetings actually taking 68 minutes). However, it's worth noting that this company is fairly small (48 members according to their About page) and that the group has been together for quite some time.

I'm not sure how well this would scale past the Dunbar number, or for organizations growing rapidly.

Either way, I'm glad they published this.
Like in Brazil. “Tudo bem?” “Tudo bem!”

I have a Peruvian friend who had a similar experience. He would relate that when you would ask someone in his country how they’re doing, it was expected that that would be the beginning of a (possibly brief, but probably not so brief) discussion.
It started with commonplace entry level potential story journalism.

The reporter literally passed on a tip that missiles (alleged to be Russian type missiles) had landed in Poland (true).

He also passed on that this came from a previously vetted source (also true).

After this point the story was literally in the hands of the editorial staff.
Interesting! I wonder if this is why the YouTube webOS app is 55MB while something like Hulu is 220KB. I believe the latter is just HTML that targets the webOS browser.

The YouTube app is the only one, along with Netflix, that is smooth and usable on this platform. Amazon Prime video is a jankfest (and their app is 100MB) and Apple TV+ is a slideshow.
> I can keep going and going, but at the end of the day the core problem is NATO

Ah yes the core problem is the defensive alliance, not the country that continually attempts to annex and invade post soviet states.

> This is a proxy war started by the US.

Ah yes I keep forgetting the US forced Russia to invade and then after that they even forced Russia to rape and torture Ukrainian children.

My only question for you is how can you support this war given the countless documented and even caught on video atrocities that the Russians commit?.
Two main reasons

1) Article 5. If Poland is attacked NATO would have to use whatever force was needed to protect it. In Russia's case, that means war against a nuclear power. In Ukraine's case, it means telling them NATO'll stop delivering weapons and Ukraine can fight Russia alone unless they apologize. Even if there was a war with Ukraine, it's not a nuclear power and wouldn't last long against NATO.

2) It was an accident. Russia launching on Poland could have been intentional. Ukraine almost certainly did it by mistake. (BTW, Russia apologizing in an hour and paying reparations would likely also have had no long term effect). Since it was an accident Ukraine probably blamed Russia thinking it was Russia since they didn't think they had done it. And by "blamed" I mean, it was after the AP story brought it to light. So more like denied it was them. Fog of war and all.

Honest question: what’s the point of this question? what does it matter?

That’s an example of lowered trust, not of the other players leaving the planet (or persuading the US to do so).
Right - but to me it sounded more as if there would be specific new languages being invented, since the author gave Lua and Dhall as examples.
Not to sound like a wise-ass but by defintion there is no such thing as bad journalism. If you're doing "bad journalism" you're doing journalism at all.

Giving such credit (even with the disclaimer of bad) where credit is *no* due is why the "news media" has become so pathetic and Orwellian. It's sad to see a profession that doesn't even know its own definition and standards.

They can be clueless, that doesn't mean the rest of us have to be complicit.

Woodworking can be a good hobby for an engineer as there's a lot of problem solving - both design problems or construction problems (like how to set up a particular cut to make it more accurate or efficient).

Combining those worlds is even more fun. I had a simple project involving an Arduino board and built a nice housing for it out of wood that managed to combine my interest in software, electronics and woodworking all in one!

While it’s quite possible for the UK to mitigate the effects of Brexit and attempt to find positives, expecting that to happen under a Conservative government is, frankly, laughable based on the last decade of evidence.

The people claiming that Twitter still being up proves they were vastly bloated need to read the following paragraphs until they "sink in":

> Our entire account team turned over multiple times in 2 weeks. We had multiple people (AE, AM, analyst, creative specialist) supporting our account and they all vanished without so much as an email. We finally got an email with a name for an AM last week but they quit and we don’t have a new one yet.

> Ads UI is very buggy and login with SSO and 2FA broken. One of my campaign managers logged in last week and found all our paused creatives from the past 6 years had been reactivated. Campaign changes don’t save. These things cost us real money.

Agreeing to a shared ledger system is absolutely a game. See Conway for details.
The compiler is making assumptions (which it is supposed to make) but nobody is enforcing the assumptions. The only player who could reasonable enforce the assumptions would be the compiler, in a special checking mode. I am not aware of a compiler that does this. Pity.
Unlike with engineering, there's very little practical or deep articles about issues like brand safety, etc. and most people seem like parroting the same arguments without anyone explaining why this is the case.

You can build Twitter clone from scratch without knowing anything about IT at the beginning and learn it on the process but you can't learn much about brands or advertising or marketing except for some high level talks.

I have no idea how so many people can analyse the Twitter ad situation, is everyone well versed in these topics?
It's what we use, and what I find the be the less annoying solution, but there are two big show-stoppers to make it more user-friendly:

- the default index on the sidebar doesn't handle sub-directories well (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/17673) - we use a pipeline to refresh an index page, but it's duct-tape and annoying to setup.

- can't edit only a section of a page, so if the page has a few sections, I often lose track of what exactly I wanted to change (maybe the WYSIWYG helps here, have to admit I have not used it much)

Otherwise I like that each project has its wiki, and so instead of one huge messy wiki, it's a few smaller messy wiki, easier to cleanup and have clear owners.
I've lost more hours than I care to count to this game--it's incredibly compelling to a certain type of gamer. Unfortunately (or fortunately for my productivity), there was a military update a few years ago that I found unmanageable, and my attempts to play it have been short-lived ever since.
Catarina left this as a comment to the post:

I definitely hope that Twitter can find a better business model than advertising, which I think is fee for service. That has always been the best way, especially for social media. All the disinformation, the serotonin economy, the harassment, the impersonation–ALL the ills are reduced with a fee for service model.
The only role they see is enforcement of contracts.

By Libertarian definition, only governments can be oppressive; anything a corporation does is just the market acting the way it does: at worst, a temporary aberration that will be fixed soon by someone noticing an opportunity to make a profit.
As a long time Mac user, I had long been used to people saying things along the lines of “I tolerate their hardware to use macOS” especially re: the terrible laptop designs.

Now with the release of the AS machines, I hear the exact opposite sentiment very frequently, especially on techie sites. It’s certainly been an interesting reversal. I for one like both macOS and the AS hardware, and (minus the somewhat higher bugginess with recent releases) couldn’t be happier about the state of Macs.
Both bugs were programming errors in assembly language files. One was inline assembly that was missing entries from a clobber list, the other was an assembly function that lacked invocations of the macros that were supposed to be used to preserve/restore the registers. There was no compiler bug.
We built the Shell Plugin Store into Fig[https://fig.io] to solve a lot of the problems mentioned in this thread. Namely:
* Plugins are hard to install/uninstall
* Plugins are hard to customise once installed
* Plugins add bloat and/or degrade performance in shell load time
* It's hard to find plugins in the first place (there is not centralised directory)
* It's hard to sync plugins and configurations across devices

In Fig, adding a plugin is easy as clicking a button. And if you have issues with it, you can uninstall in a click too

> But while Nixon had approved the use of that specific anonymous source in the past, people involved said, Nixon was not aware of that tip or that story. LaPorta did not exactly claim that Nixon had approved the source in this case, but his words were interpreted by the editors to mean that he did.

As other commenters have suggested, this seems like an editorial failure in the rush to say "FIRST!" and severely damages the AP's reputation even with their retraction and response.

I hate to imply that this isn't the first time, since I don't have the resources or time machines to back myself up, but I don't think this is the first time AP (or Reuters) has done this. Just maybe the most visible and recent.

At risk of flame baiting, I am curious whether this retraction and correction will be taken into account when discussing the veracity of speeches given by former/potentially future political figures; per CNN:

> Missile landing in Poland
>
> Trump claimed Tuesday that a missile that was “sent in probably by Russia” landed 50 miles into Poland. “People are going absolutely wild and crazy and they’re not happy,” Trump said from Mar-a-Lago.
>
> Facts First: This claim is false. While Poland said a Russian-made missile did land in their territory Tuesday, killing two Polish citizens, the explosion happened about four miles west from the Ukrainian border.
>
> Additionally, it remains unclear where the missile was fired from, and why it fell in Poland.

At the time, like many of us, Trump relied on the AP's reporting of the facts. Will he be blamed for "lying" long after? My guess is yes.

Trying to understand this--are Far Manager & Kate included in the standard OS image at competitions, but your favorite work IDE is not? Or is it more that your work config files & plugins are not available/needed in competitions?
Probably because Ukraine didn't fire on Poland they fired on armament launched by Russia.
It's easy to understand: people in most companies don't appreciate having their ads next to porn, extremist content, or violent content. Especially so when it's posted as a reply to the ads.

He assumes that "full understanding (into every detail) of what is being documented is needed" (as I put it). So, the new hire will never get it right 100%. he will both struggle and annoy others (to forever enlighten him), which is a fair point.

But it is not black or white. Others here have more positive experiences
