That viewpoint is dying out in the conservative wings of global politics, it's still there, but it's not nearly as front and center, and the few times such views have been expressed to Elon from said conservatives, he's countered them.

"Webmasters" were told to use XHTML and they massively cried how that they just can't write correct code so they absolutely need sloppy parsers that would analyze the mess of unclosed tags and weirdly placed elements and try to understand the intent.

And the industry gave up. This is essentially the same story.

To be fair, "getaddrinfo is _the_ path" is a shitty situation.

- It's a synchronous interface. Things like getaddrinfo_a are barely better. It has forced people to do stuff like https://c-ares.org/ for ages, which has suffered from "is not _the_ path" issues for as long

- It's a less featured interface than, for example, https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/systemd/writing-re...
> That's not how it works, the first year is horrible. … things will get better when the kid grows older.

My first daughter would wake, have a bottle, fall asleep within a few minutes for 3-4 hours. Wake, bottle, fall asleep for 3-4 hours.

The first year was sooooooo easy. The 2nd year I wake, make bottle, hand it to her, she drinks and falls asleep.

She’s 4 now and can’t stay in a room alone during the day or night. That’s harder because now I can’t go toilet because she will scream at the top of her lungs until someone is in the room. But sleeping is me staying in the room for 5-20 minutes till she’s asleep.
> ah, yes! link to a group of people who didn't like the outcome of a study, so they wrote about it

That study criticizes the methods and samples of the study you trust in. Its something fundamental, not 'opinionated'.

> data-driven studies go against their instincts.

What part of a 40 or 200 sample set is 'data driven'. How many of those children are 40 years old. How many of them have passed through the chaos of teenage years and now experiencing their first problems in work life, social relationships or relationship with their spouse.

...

Its amazing how people immediately forget any evolutionary biology or behavioral science lessons they have taken during the course of their lives when it involves self-interest. Simple behaviors that entirety of mammal species rely on as evolutionary behaviors for survival are just 'maladaptive practices' when self-interest is involved.

...

Strong personal interest seem to cause strong bias in this topic. I understand the need for the parents who use such destructive practices to be able to get some sleep while they are raising infants in this modern society that does not leave any time for childrearing. But neither anyone like me empathizing with it nor the circumstances of modern society can negate the evolutionary behaviors and their effects. The parents who are in such a situation must find another way to address the situation than relying on what increasingly seems to be anti-humane advocacy.

How exactly was that word's definition twisted? Not being allowed outside like in <https://abcnews.go.com/US/police-officer-arrested-park-throw...> seems perfectly in line with Merriam-Webster's definition 2b of it.

But would management approve of spending time on reporting and possibly
fixing design issues? Well why not because if the knowledge of the issues
exists only in the head of some developers, it is not really owned by the
company. Whereas if it was reported in an issue-tracking system it would
become official part of the IP owned by the company, increasing its value.

In practice, management will not endorse developers reporting and spending time working on design issues, unless that design issue can be directly identified as a blocker impeding the delivery of urgently needed functionality. Even then, half the time the developer will be told to note the issue and implement a short-term workaround.

Using such a system would seem to make a lot of sense to me. Perhaps
companies are already doing it?

Pretty much every company I've worked for has had a category in JIRA for design issues and technical debt. Tracking these things isn't the problem. The problem is getting buy-in to spend a portion of each sprint actually addressing these issues, rather than having them in some backlog pile that everyone pays lip service to, but no one takes action on actually reducing.
Some services like Browser and WINS are still needed by some organizations; I’m not involved anymore but I understand that Microsoft has added security features where they can to those services.
Lots of people do bad things, most bad people have friends, many of whom are either too naive or too lonely to be picky. He treated me well and taught me a lot about tech in the 90s. It was not easy to find mentors/like minded people (tech, not fraud) where I lived at the time, so the criminal aspect was regrettable. As an adult I look back and am so disappointed that he didn't do something legitimate, he was a top notch sysadmin, and was great with customers (I mean, that's how scams work) - he could have been much more enriched by going legit. He rightfully ended up in prison for about 14 years, maybe more? But yes, a friend.
The way you right makes me think you're trying to say we disagree about something lol but for the life of me I can't figure out what.

> so much higher then

When?
Groups have used this tactic before to great effect, it's quite versatile and it's destressing that it's a relatively unknown vector to the public at large. I think it's important to understand how decisions are made when so many people readily defer to authority in ascertaining what's right or wrong. Targeted "protest", to the right individuals, can affect anything from website availability to what's considered an illness. Realistically nothing is off the table by directing pressure to the right individuals with a bit of patience and determination. What worries me most is not the lack of resolve by people facing such pressure, but that they seem to sweep it under the rug and in short order people don't realize it played a role in the decision making process at all.
You aren't trying to say that foreign workers are responsible for all the problems at Amazon, not the American management? Come on. I dont believe these "the management is innocent" memes.
Right. Or, banks should bid for receiving newly created money (i.e. bidding for giving out new credits).

Greetings. I'm rather new here and a friend steered me towards here.

I'm a pagan, and unfortunately this has caused a rather ugly stir in our communities.

In recent (last 1.5 years), TikTok has been the primary contributing 'terrible occultists, witches, and pagans'. Their practices equate to what we would describe as cargo cultism, commercialism, and general lack of any understanding what we do. Most of us look down on the TikTok types, and we believe for good reason.

Now, tarot. For those of you unaware, it's seen as a 78 card (standard card deck, with an extra card between jack and queen, and a new suit called trumps) divinatory method to be able to answer questions we have in our practices. There's 2 major ways to do a reading : mechanically, and intuitively.

This person was doing an intuitive reading... Which is what makes this even uglier. And if it were just a mechanistic reading, you still have to deal with slightly different symbology changing the card descriptions.

Long story short, they should have never did a reading about someone else without permission. And they should have never did this publicly. And they should have never accused anyone from a reading. At all.

It is a spiritual practice, however. Basically it took a practice many of use privately, and brought it out in the open as some criminal tool... But without any of the science.
Yes, but unauthorized is not what the law says. The law is about using a wrong conductor to steal energy. Not the case when the charging hardware is not modified.

The brand loyalty of sorts has continued despite ThinkPads getting worse for a while now. I have a T440p because it's the last model with a socketed CPU, coreboot support, and that doesn't need blobs for the iGPU. Beyond this gen I think you're getting the same crap from nearly everyone. x86 is on its way out as well.

I'm probably going to get an M2 Max MBP when available and max out most of the specs. I think it'll be the first laptop I'll have bought new. Lots of soldered parts, yeah, but that's the norm with ARM anyway. Hopefully the M2 Max will stay usable a good decade or so and there'll be more RISC-V options after that.
I've been using a Huawei Matebook D14 for 3 years now and it's still a fantastic little machine. Only $400 at the time and it's just as well built and nice as an old MacBook Pro with aluminum body, great screen and trackpad, etc.
Often "unused" is tricky too, although customers may not 'actually' use it, sales uses it as a selling point.

Sometimes it is easier for sales to check the box, by saying yes we have that feature, than go into a detailed explanation of why it is not necessary in the particular product.
It gets complicated when a jerk has a platform that reaches a bunch of other jerks, some of whom go on to do things like stalking, harassment, and death threats. That's why Alex Jones was fined a billion dollars.
I keep hearing LINQ is the best, Can anyone explain how its better than say prisma?
In my opinion, if you want to get good at assessing risk then you should play a strategy game where you're not the only player. For example, age of empires 4 multiplayer free for all with seven other players is peak analyzing risk. You have to think about so many things.
That could have been a distro bug though. Ubuntu has an issue right now where some hardware configs will have a hard time with browser based video if a USB headset is plugged in; YouTube sits and spins for me on a dual Xeon Dell Workstation that’s 2 years old, with 32GB RAM and dual 2080s using any browser.

As soon as I unplug the wireless headset from its USB charging cable, smooths right out.

I’m not saying you hit the same bug I’m saying software is hard.
Yea, same with Daniel Radcliffe. Emma Watson fails to do anything good since HP.

> Why bother speaking finance?

You've got to speak to decision makers in their language. If your CEO is from finance, speak finance; if they're from engineering, speak engineering (and you bet the finance team will learn to speak it too); if your CEO is from sales, speak sales; etc.

A great CEO is going to learn to speak all the business languages, but even still it helps to speak their native tongue.
A similar issue happens when a laptop (with a bad battery) loses its time and can't connect to 802.1x WPA2 enterprise wifi.

At my high school, we had laptop carts that were notorious for losing their time, and nobody could log in because they were bound to AD over wifi. The system was offline because it would reject the RADIUS certificate of the wifi network due to the time being wrong. We had to manually log in as local admin to change the time or plug them all into ethernet until they could connect to NTP.
I refuse to ever touch a dell ever again in my life time. Just way too many problems.

The issue isn't not having a bike. It's being unable to ride one.
My 2020 Lemur Pro is working great. I love the huge battery and light weight.
SQL is not relational algebra. It's relational algebra, and various relational calculi, mixed up in an ugly way because they tried to make it look like natural language.
at some point you have to realize that you understand infants less than the parents using this method, and certainly less than the ones doing the studies. you argument is equivalent to saying we should stick to arranged marriages only because that's how it's always been done and it clearly worked for many cultures.
You can treat an analog component as black box if it has very high input impedance and very low output impedance. Generally the digital components satisfy this constraint.
I’ve seen it do this even for things that are so niche that it couldn’t possibly have been fine-tuned manually (it was unrelated to anything political). It must develop some sort of sense of what’s a reasonable/wise perspective and then stick to that. Like what a human would do.

But I think it’s a bias to safety and politeness. …which is pretty reasonable? “Hey, this is how to make a gun!” …is a fast track to getting sued.
Yes. That does not make Fritzos a fork or continuation of OpenWrt.
Overall immunocompromised in the US is 3%, so that number will be smaller after the elderly are excluded. If we discount 136 per million by 3% (max), that leaves about 132 US deaths per million for non-immunocompromised people below 50 years.

Per other comments and a linked article, poor Haitian healthcare infrastructure means that people with chronic conditions often die from those conditions, so the number of 78 Haitian deaths per million is unlikely to change due to immunocompromised people, https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2020/12/16/haiti-has-lo...

> in (the U.S.) people who have those diseases, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, we extend their life by giving them good health treatment. Well in Haiti, people don’t have access to that treatment. ... If you’re elderly and you have a disease, you die if you live in the provinces.

While the brainstorming and proposed theories are interesting, there are three years of articles linked above, which all conclude that the reasons remain unknown. Obvious factors like age, location, vaccines, masks and lockdowns have already been ruled out as a singular explanation. Genetics might be a possibility. This seems like a topic worthy of scientific study, not just for Haiti, with potential lessons for billions of people around the world.

X1 Nano is an extremely strong option for those looking for a compact, Linux-friendly laptop: 32gb with a 13" display. Lacks USB-A ports however.
Not just one day a week. A lot of churches open to homeless all during the week. It makes sense because it's a waste of resources to let a large heated building sit empty the other 6 days of the week that aren't Sunday when they can use that space to help the less fortunate.
How great would it be if the defendant were forced to perform a tarot reading on the stand? I’d pay good money to see that.
Tesla cars have consistently been rated as one of the worst brands for initial quality (e.g. by JD Power who ranked them last) and for reliability (e.g. by Consumer Reports who ranked them 2nd to last)

A new car is a new car though and I'm sure it's gonna be great regardless of the brand. But it's pretty well established that the build quality is extremely lackluster compared to other brands
Nullius in Verba
Try it with a query that has 40 joins with multiple joins to the same table from different places, and let me know if you still think it's easy :)

At work I've seen SQL queries that are thousands of lines long that would make that 40-join query look like a toy example.
You could use irc + mpv for twitch and an irc bridge for discord if you insist on using that.
The Cantillon effect is a desirable result in theory because it can greatly increases the viscosity of the resultant inflation. This gives the economy time to adapt to the change in prices. Depositing newly created money directly into people’s accounts has the same base problem as the current situation — it is misallocated with respect to the need for expanding currency supply — but has the added problem that inflating the currency this way has very low viscosity, which is undesirable. Very liquid inflation is correlated with poor outcomes historically.

Any practical allocation of new currency is going to be a misallocation, including a helicopter drop. The challenge governments have is inflating currency in a way such that it takes as long as possible to be fully reflected in the economy so that it is minimally disruptive. This turns out to be very tricky, precisely because it is virtually guaranteed to be a misallocation.

Morgan Housel: How this all happened (2021)
The implementation of bookmarks in Firefox is very useful to me. No they're not organized into any sort of sensible taxonomy and I don't care. I bookmark any page I think I might want to return to in the future - and when that future date arrives, I start typing words I remember from it in my address bar.

Firefox is smart enough to recommend bookmarked sites as I type based on string matches to website titles and URLs - more often than not, that's enough and I find what I'm looking for.

I think this is a better way to find stuff on the web than a taxonomy, I think Google search won and Yahoo's directory lost for similar reasons, the web is just too vast and chaotic to make imposing a taxonomy practical. A taxonomy is more useful for understanding relationships between things than for finding a particular thing. But in this scenario I don't care what relationship the page I want to view has to other pages. I just want to find it as quickly as possible.

I have mild anxiety that someone who doesn't really understand the problem space or prior work will come along one day, try to "improve" this feature, and make it useless...
Oops, her*.
When it wasn’t two parents working full time to support everyone (aka the post WW2 years until what, about the 90’s).

I’m disagreeing with what seems to be nostalgia, or a call to a different type of circumstance. I’m just noting, it had major drawbacks then too. Lots of stay at home moms drinking themselves into a stupor being one.

Agreed. It seems most comments in here find the quality noticeably better than G or DDG (I know I do.)

Given that, I suppose I could empathize with a hypothetical user who cares about search quality but finds $7 lattes prohibitively expensive. For the rest of us price as a counter argument just seems silly.
For an alternative, GraphQL-like take on a related problem ("efficiently query any combination of data sources, from APIs to DBs to raw files"), check out the Trustfall language mentioned in the sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34182125

It's used in multiple real-world applications, including a tool that is slated to be merged into cargo, Rust's built-in package manager (cargo-semver-checks, a semver linter).
The math as explained in Twitter is correct, your example is not relevant because [1,999] is not in the form [x,2/x].

I'm sure there's a better way to see the conclusion stated in the tweet, but you can convince yourself with the brute-force way of graphing:

- `abs(x-sqrt(2))` (the distance between x and sqrt(x))

- `abs(2/x-sqrt(2))` (the distance between 2/x and sqrt(x))

- `abs((x/2+1/x)-sqrt(2))` (the distance between the midpoint and sqrt(2))

and seeing that the last one is always smaller than the first two between 1 and sqrt(2), the values for x stated in a previous tweet.
The thing you're missing here is that "opinion" is a term of art in this context, and has a meaning broader than its usual one. Importantly, for these purposes, any inference is considered "opinion".

So "Professor Scofield plotted and ordered the murders" could be a statement of fact, but "The evidence I've shown you demonstrates that Professor Scofield plotted and ordered the murders" is necessarily a statement of opinion in the legal sense.
The idea here is that it is at least conceivable, if not especially likely, that you could generate some evidence that the Tarot reader just made things up on the fly, claiming to have read something in Tarot cards completely inconsistent with normal Tarot interpretation or their own previous readings; there might just be evidence that they deliberately made it up (we know they made it up, but you might find evidence in the cards, which is aneurystically ironic).
A War of Endless Controversy: Governing from History
While you may be right to some extent, signature bears some information like stroke patterns, pen-holding and such, which are usually distinctively personal.

Combine a few of these, and multiple of your signatures could probably be easily matched and verified even by a half-expert :)

But as highlighted by other poster (maxbond): it's a commitment, and as long as you are not willing to challenge it, any of your signatures is sufficient to indicate intent.
