A possible approach for restricted books - put them on a machine (or VM) that can be remotely accessed by all your team members and allocate time slices for potential readers. Instead of borrowing the physical book like in the past, they will ask for time on the shared machine.
I get the spirit - but this is way more convoluted than just letting 1Password generate and save everything for me in 1-2 clicks without ever leaving the browser. And as a bonus I don’t have to copy+paste it, care about where it’s stored, and it will auto-fill for me. Not to mention they just magically appear on all my devices without some home brewed syncing scheme :)
These articles come out every now and then and they all have the same financial and logical flaws.

The “forced savings” argument is nonsense. If you’re renting you are simply building equity and “savings” for someone else. Housing cost is a lot of monthly money going out the door to never see a penny of it again. People do dumb things like buy too much house, but it’s very hard to make a financially logical argument against sensible home ownership. Even in places were housing is super expensive it’s common for those that played their cards right to simply cash out later in life, buy some place in a less expensive part of the country and pocket all the equity.

In the US the whole tax system is also rigged massively in favor of home ownership. If you own you’re paying mortgage interest and real estate taxes and both are tax deductible. If you rent you are almost certainly paying both of these (your landlord includes it in the rent) and get no tax benefits.

The only realistic argument for renting is if you’re only living somewhere for a few years and the fixed costs of buying/selling outweighs the financial benefits of ownership.
The claim is

that the firefighters didn't know if anyone's live was in danger because they didn't show up.

The evidence is

that they refused to show up when called and only showed up when called by someone else. Without being prescene at the scene it is not possible for a firefigther to know if someone's life is endanger or not because the person calling isn't trained to know that.

The real evidence for the very basic claim is there.
my opinion is you're lying, so right truthful doesn't apply. since we just get to follow your example and make everything potential bad faith, we can't trust you to tell the truth about anything.

In my opinion, you're lying.
This is exactly the problem. People who don't even fucking realize what the original term meant! And they want to change it! Ludicrous.
This stuck out to me as well. Also because you’re not supposed to use the word in any form so saying”devmunchies is brave” is bad.

I can understand a complaint like the Atlanta Braves offending someone because it’s a caricature, but still don’t think it should be changed.

I've had this happen on pure length. I believe KeePass defaults to 20 characters. I've seen websites accept 20 characters on sign up, but internally, the log in only accepts 12 characters, but it doesn't truncate the input either. I had to enter the first 12 characters and submit the form, and it worked.

I was completely baffled on why it was designed that way - if you're going to truncate the password, the login field should do the same.

Twitter had its own substack feature but Musk shut it down the other day because Jack started using it and it made him cry.

There's also a whole heap of different laws applying to being a "publication" which Twitter currently skirts by claiming to be a platform not a publication - if they declared themselves a publication (as Musk accidentally did the other day because he's not very bright) they would lose the Section 230 protections.

Except in this case - it very literally isn't the firefighters damn job. They have not been hired to put out this fire. Full fucking stop. And just so we're fully clear here - this is a job that is extremely risky to personal health and safety.

Honestly - I think your attitude here is actually far more childish than mine. You're preaching about what's right and moral - I'm discussing practical details and incentives that might make people actually go do a thing.

My attitude is hardly making an assumption that life is fair - it's about making sure that service (fire fighting) has a space in which to exist at all.

Because what we're really talking about here is a social contract...

When it becomes clear that violating the social contract has no downside - many more folks start to do it, and we rapidly end up in a spot where the company that wrote the contract (Us - we the freaking people wrote the contract) are bankrupt. And now not only do the people not paying not have a fire service... NO ONE has a fire service. Because few people were willing to chip in the money when they got the benefit for free.

So back to your silly, silly question:

"Is it fair that you paid for firefighting and your neighbor didn’t but still had their house saved during a fire?"

That's absolutely relevant outside of a single isolated case. It might not matter for one instance - it matters a whole freaking lot in aggregate.
Yes, they did. But their banking operations did not consist of pillage.

This is a hit piece against middle class.

A simple counter example: if you were 400k in debt on a 500k house, COVID-relief money printing caused 20% inflation meaning your home is now worth 600k and you still have 400k debt to pay off but with 20% cheaper money. Equivalently 20% (80k) of your mortgage was paid off for free / inflated away. If you rented the 80k would go to your landlord and your rent would go up by 20% - you'd need to seek salary increase to get back to being even.

Until every financial crisis ends up being fixed by freshly printed money By all means, if you can shoulder it, you should ALWAYS have at least one morgage.
Good point. You are not dependent on Cloudflare, though, you can use other similar services or open the port on your router if it supports it. And if you pay for it, you can get an SLA so that they can't mess with you by terminating your project.

I would still consider it very nice of them to offer this free service that let's you break free from your dynamic IP, crappy router and at the same time giving you protection that you couldn't set up yourself.

I think many people just want to be able to make their device available from the internet - this type of liberty is not really important for many people.
Except in this case, the person they murdered was holding that gun in self-defense from the actual criminal.

Millions of Americans have some sort of weapon for self-defense. That might be a gun in their home. That might be pepper-spray in their purse. That might be picking up a knife or golf club when they hear a window break in the night.

The police shouldn't shoot first and ask questions later. They should always, always, always establish what is going on and who is a threat before killing an innocent person who was trying to defend themselves against an attacker.
even if renting is cheaper I'd argue it's still better to own if the price of housing is stable or positive
>> enough labor to pay for their retirement

Labour doesn't pay for their retirement.

>> inflation will eat up all their retirement

Their state pension increases in line with inflation thanks to the penion "triple lock" in the UK (this is temporarily the "double lock" for 22/23).

>> until there is enough labor

Adding labour has no direct impact on pension income, there can't be "enough labour" to reinstate a standard of living in a person's pension situation

Instead what will happen is existing groups who are already below water (e.g. foodbank users) will suffer more pain.
I dislike this too, although I can understand arguments for it in software that keeps iterating and (hopefully) improving over time.

Constantly keeping the battery at 100% can be an issue, but modern versions of macOS allow you to limit charging. There are also utilities that work on older OS versions (they just issue an SMC command to achieve the same thing), like this one: https://github.com/zackelia/bclm
> Sure I see a lot of hand waving here about that, but this community is notably not necessarily the most diverse

HN, like the American tech industry in general, is almost certainly more diverse than the Stanford administration and faculty. Moreover, diversity in HN is organic. Folks on here may happen to be Laotian American (or even Laotian—HN is international). Nobody selected them for inclusion in the community.

By contrast, diversity at Stanford, especially among faculty, is carefully curated by the overwhelmingly white faculty. Your average immigrant from a former colony may not care about eliminating “colonial language.” But the white Stanford faculty wouldn’t hire those immigrants into the cultural studies department of the university. You’re much more likely to get a job at Stanford by writing papers on how colonial terms “cause harm.”

The faculty system and widespread use of race and nationality conscious hiring gives white people at elite universities tremendous power. There’s few other organizations where the white leadership gets to hand pick any minority representation based on its own ideological priors.
An interesting thing I learned about cloud downtime tracking from Niall Murphy
If I understand correctly, Twitter was already under some sort of federal supervision because of earlier mistakes, and dramatic changes to Twitter require careful consideration and approval. Not doing that and even sabotaging their ability to follow those rules might open Twitter up to some pretty harsh fines. In which case it might be over as soon as the government acts on it (which admittedly might take a while).

I forgot the details, but it's been mentioned here before.
Bottom line is that the lock file in ripgrep's repo hasn't prevented it from being packaged. And I haven't heard of any distro maintainer complain about any lock file in any Rust program ever. So you're just plain empirically wrong about lock files preventing Rust programs from being packaged.

You've now moved on to talking about something else, which is "how much Rust software is packaged." Well, apparently enough that Debian has Rust packaging policy[1]. I'll give you one guess at what isn't mentioned in that policy. Give up? Lock files!

Or just market bundles of Ultra studios for those customers with some niche zero-conf convenience feature as a hook.

Only thing is at that point it makes sense to have either a monster PC somewhere out of sight or cloud resources, so whatever hook they come up with would at least need to appear like it usefully alters the workflow, because it's going to be really expensive relative to an out-of-sight PC.

It really begs the question of who the Mac Pro is really for anymore? If you need that amount of power you're probably better off with a MacBook and an external compute resource like above, or even just an eGPU (I know, the ARM chips don't support them, but you could just buy used Intel SKUs in a pinch).
By profession. The parent comment implied that the Templars and/or Crusaders were bandits sent off to do God's work. That was not the case.
All things being equal, rent is always more than a mortgage. There's no such thing as a landlord renting at or below cost. They're pricing in the costs of financing, insurance, property tax, utility connections, etc. and you're getting the lump sum.
Casually glancing around, it doesn't seem like there are any easily accessible tools to do so on the M-series chips. The Intel chips in older Macs were a little more tunable since they were the same as the chips over on the Windows side.
Just because the person on the phone doesn't know if there is someone in the house does not remove the possibilities. But that isn't the only way there could be a risk to life from a fire. There are many things a firefighter is trained in to be able to correctly judge the risk to life. A 911 operator is not a trained firefighter. Dismissing the training of firefighters have is very disappointing.

The person on the phone often doesn't have all the info. It often happens that fire department only discover a risk to life upon arriving where someone mentions that someone is in the house. Or that X,Y,Z is there.

Someone phoned the fire department. The fire department didn't visit because they weren't on a list. The person who was making the decision if there was a risk to life was not on scene nor trained to make that decision. Someone dies the lawsuit would be massive for that level of incomptence.
Wrong. There's random generation, and each randomly generated password is pinned to the site where it was generated. When you navigate to a different site, Firefox will generate a new password. There's no cross-site leaking.
That's not going to be an issue. There are zero such beings known so far, no hard evidence they even exist, and we're not going to find or create ones any time soon - the same people who engage in language policing also currently dislike space exploration for various ideological reasons.
My experience with Intel NUCs (but that's not recent models) is that they are very quiet as long as you don't push them, but super noisy if you push them. So I'd stay way from NUCs in a living room unless you are doing low power stuff.
Ask HN: Craziest/weirdest requests around “Data” you got from your users
I am looking to hearing from you stories about crazy/weird requests/questions you received from your prospects/customers/users and how did it end up affecting your relationship with them (e.g. deals that were lost, churn, time to close deals, etc.)

I found it good to give an example of what I am referring to here so let’s imagine some HR kinda startup that has a prospect who has employees both in the US and Europe -> the prospect sends a query to the vendor asking whether they can keep their European-based employee’s data in a European region and their US-based employee’s data in a respective US region. (The vendor cannot support that -> the deal is closed-lost)

I be interested in hearing more stories like ^ that one, and how you ended up handling them (or have not)

I've been a part of multiple "big bang" migrations in banking (generally scheduled to the coincidences of local banking holidays next to a weekend, so you can afford multiple days of semi-downtime) and all of them had explicit multiple testing gates for potential rollback during the migration, where after pretty much all the stuff is on the new system, the board convenes and after looking at the difficulties (there inevitably are some unexpected difficulties) make the decision whether they "accept" the switch to the new system or postpone the switch.

Part of your preparation and testing is the rollback of a partial migration - if you're irreversibly committed to the "big bang" before you know its outcome, then your preparation and testing has failed.

> We have to agree to these kinds of terms about something that is more than half a century old and has zero commercial value. Something in the copyright system is deeply broken.

I don't disagree.

The trouble is that, while almost everything 50 years old has almost no commercial value, a few things that old have tremendous commercial value.

My preferred solution is to have a very short automatic copyright period combined with a fee for registered works that increases exponentially based on the date of registration. Not that it really matters - I'm sure such a solution would never be enacted into law.

I am not a CS student, but I do study in a field where computers, maths and clever algorithms play a big role (biomedical signal processing). Also I am not necessarily a good student - I care only somewhat about grades, and if I find something that is not part of the curriculum, but is more interesting, I pursue it instead, sometimes at a cost of a better grade.

Indie programming is fun for me in short term, but research is more rewarding in the long run, because of the positive impact and opportunities it brings. Research is also more varied (includes not only writing code, but also math and words and also working on study design, statistical analysis and subject testing).

But that means I'd have to (and would have had to, whole my life) live in an apartment half the size (which would have been tiny).

Even at native 24Hz, 24Hz motion looks so stuttery. Hell, even Avatar 2 at 48fps looked stuttery during action sequences.

If motion is too fast for a given framerate, my mind immediately stops interpeting it and I stop being able to focus. I absolutely hate 24fps content with pans, because the moment there's a pan, I just see a blurry mess and it takes several seconds to readjust after the pan is over. It's annoying, it's distracting, and I hate it.

Just a hint: this screams insecurity.

Wealth does not correlate with knowledge.

Especially since you don't even use type hints, so you have no professional experience with them. Just an ill formed opinion by reading blogs and comments.

No compilation time? Very complete standard library? Opt-in typing? Good introspection? Numpy?

I was doing python long before type hints existed, and I assure you they are an advantage. Now, I understand you lack the expertise to realise that. I'm just saying that insulting me won't make you correct.

I did not bother. The fact that microsoft, google and facebook invest money into it is proof enough. You reject it because you're being irrational.
