I regularly drive semi-long distances on the interstate. There has been a huge turnover in big truck drivers over the last 5-10 years. One used to be able to trust that in any situation, truck drivers would take the safe reasonable action. I observe that not to be the case now, and I really don't think it's because of my advancing age.

I have sympathy for anyone who spends all day locked in a cab with a robot that's always ready to punish for infractions. From the outside it appears that the robot cares about profit, not about safety.

Because it does. Your chances of getting and spreading COVID for the 3 months after you get a vaccine drop dramatically.

> This is not a matter of perception. Their stated plan was to end the constitutional order in America.

No. The hope was to get Congress to investigate the "voting irregularities" found in several key states, such as Georgia.

Investigating fraud isn't unconstitutional. If anything, certifying fraud against is against the spirit of democracy.

Certifying fraud doesn't make the fraud right. But alas, fake news and simply repeating lies won the day, as no investigation happened.
This is why I don't update my Sony TV. It's still on the original version of Android it shipped with. I think I'm missing out on DolbyVision, but I don't care. My TV is snappier and lacks ads that the newer software updates added to the same model.

Is it a security hole? Probably. I have it siloed away from my network on its own router with its own subnet.
The irony of a Twitter apologist talking about chestertons fence...
Yes the AC didn't start that bit of indoctrination, but renewed it for a new generation. It was published in the 70s when the counter culture was at it's strongest.
> Bayat pointed out to Llada that a dress code for arbiters does not exist. The next day, FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich came to the tournament (as Bayat pointed out, wearing jeans and a t-shirt himself but that was only briefly after his arrival). He did not talk to Bayat about her clothes, but in a Whatsapp message, he told her not to mix politics with chess and asked her to stop wearing the t-shirt. Bayat asked for a written request, which did not materialize.

Arkady seems like a great guy who is never a hypocrite who has only others in mind. (sarcasm)

Yes, a person peddling a harmful substance donates to making a broader set of harmful substances more acceptable.
That’s true, but my view is even if the original article is unbiased, the selection process by which it was chosen to appear on this periodical with the reach it has introduces some statistical bias.
I believe city water pressure will take it to the 5th floor and that is gravity driven.

I live on the 2nd floor and never lost water pressure during the two major blackouts NYC suffered in the past 20 years while the higher floors in my building did once the roof tank was emptied.

I was going to make the actual harm comment before your edit, but I still wonder about the premise.
I doubt Vim helps my productivity. At least, I’m sure if I dropped vim I would be learn to be just as fast in whatever I ended up using.

It’s just the ergonomics and easy customizability. Keybindings are in all editors, but in vim I don’t have to press all buttons at once. Just: “space”. Walk to the coffee machine. “g”. Get interrupted. “c” - there opens my git commit window. This feels so infinitely much nicer than any other keybinding system I have used. I always struggle going back to anything else.

Next to that, the way the config just works. Just a file I can edit.

Vim doesn’t work wonders, it’s just a preference.
You seem to me way too optimistic/entusiast on the matter.

Volvo (which is BTW one of the more optimistic companies) is still today excluding long-haul trucks from being fully electric, and they have just started production of short-haul and "regional" electric trucks.

And of course full self-driving is still beyond the horizon.

BTW, and only as a side note, traditional trucks already use engine braking or retarders extensively, so I don't think that regenerative braking will change much when it comes to the amount of brake dust.

Any sleeping bag will inevitably lose warmth over time as the insulation (both natural and synthetic) becomes compacted. Their finite lifespan is quite a bit less than yours.
> Saying those skills are exclusive to followers of the agile manifesto is silly.

What says that? The Manifesto is there to help guide you if your group chooses to forego managers, but it doesn't suggest not having managers is the right tool for the job. An engineer more than anyone should understand the concept of tradeoffs.
What is depicted in the video looks more like a dumb ambush to me. They should have lured him in with questions they knew would give him a chance to put Apple in a positive light. Sales figures, quarterly results, and such.

Then when he’s comfortable come with the hard questions.

But anyway, I think it’s still an ambush and unfair.
>Testing is cheap and easy

I had a college student who came to me as a trusted adult and asked about E (because their friends were doing it while in the Netherlands). I told them what I knew about the drug and that they should always test it. When asked "how do I do that," I was at a loss and couldn't find any useful info by searching sites that I wasn't afraid to browse. How does one get a legit testing kit without exposing themselves to risk?
Any programmer dumb enough to just blindly accept that their program is correct is also a dumb enough programmer not to have begun writing a test in the first place. If this gets the friction of writing a test at all so close to zero that these programmers start writing tests (albeit sometimes blindly accepting the output), then it's better than just trying their program on some inputs and calling it a day. It writes down the current output of the program. That's a big step up already. Now people evaluating the code can read some of its outputs without downloading anything.

I personally already use a similar cycle to expect-test when I write tests. A great place to start when writing test assertions is the debug output, just like this thing uses. Then you convert the output into assertions after you have thought through which parts are right or wrong. Just like you can do with expect-test, but without the automation. If you don't know whether the output is right or not, just add an assert(false, "hmm, not sure about this") aka todo!() and voilà, your test fails and future you can be prompted to check over it again.

Sometimes the output is obviously wrong, but you still don't know what the right output is. (At this point you know you're doing useful work!) The remedy is the same. Just make the test fail somehow.
I've had that replacement (the -> thé) and have never even enabled or used a French language keyboard on my device. At this point I disable autocomplete and autocorrect completely, on macOS and iOS.
yeah, that "I wanted to dance to the music" and "I felt connected to people" - uhhh, I feel that just by being in a dark room with music and dancing and other people enjoying it. That's just the club atmosphere. Takes a little time to get into it though.
He was also just totally insane
Glad you're enjoying it, and remember, don't be ashamed of using the gameplay options should later sections get too frustrating.

Hmm, I think the minimising thing might be due to the exclusive fullscreen that the game starts up with. Toggling fullscreen with F11 should fix that.
I assume most parents would be less concerned by cigarette-use, but attitudes may differ from one country to the other.
The fact that truck drivers do more than just drive isn't a necessity though. There is no reason why truck drivers also needs to be an unpaid loaders/unloaders and any other roles currently taking on by them. It's just a matter of "we've always done it like that". Businesses will reorganize themselves if it means a substantial reduction in transport costs.
Loudspeakers are one thing that do seem to last forever if you take care of them.

I still have my Polk RTI12s from when I got them on employee discount while working at Circuit City. I had to epoxy the bass reflex port back together on one of them, but otherwise they can still take a ton of power and light up an auditorium.

My top vendors right now would be Emotiva (high-end amps) & Monoprice (gigantic, heavy, cheap loudspeakers).
I've had a pair of Hobie polarized sunglasses for around 30 years now. I bought them back in the '90's based on a recommendation from Practical Sailor magazine and they're still in great shape.
Brings back similar memories for me as well :)

I guess it's great to have a *nix tool for the rare occasion of ripping a CD.
It's also the experience and ritual of drinking alcohol. It's something you do slowly and consistently over the course of a night which is practically an activity in of itself, similar to smoking tobacco.

Taking a pill loses all of that.

This bike is a legend.

I used to ride one when I was younger.

Fond memories of that fat 500cc mono.
I bought Turbo Pascal and Turbo C++ versions for Windows 3.1 as high-school student.

Each of them were between 150 and 200 euros on today's money.

High school student allowance in early 1990's Portugal after decades of dictatorship wasn't that great either.
Rogue fitness equipment. Racks, bars, etc. It’s so high quality and will last a lifetime.
It is bad. I had a few of them during my life. When I was eleven the flu triggered a reaction in my body, destroying the insulin producing cells from my pancreas. I've had a type 1 diabetes since then.

Nowadays in Finland (where I am from), they recommend flu vaccinations for kids who have type 1 diabetes in the family to reduce the risk of catching it.

Not all flus are bad to all of us, but if you catch the right strain, it can really knock you out.
I'd been thinking and brainstorming with friends for ages on what to call it and we couldn't come up with a good name. At one point I was forced to pick something, so I just chose the age old tradition of typing stuff that sounds OK into google until I got something without any relevant results.

Perhaps less fascinating of a story than you might have expected, I'm afraid, but there it is.

Hi! I am the author of the project. There's a discussion on Emacs is Not Enough that has been taking place today here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34375137

The Emacs is Not Enough is quite ranty, and its style is not to some people's taste (well, it is kind of a rant, after all).

If you want the meat, indeed, please see any other articles on the homepage, or, for an overview of the project, this:

Thank you.

This is impractical. It's like saying "get drunk, but don't drink and drive". Once you are high, you lose your ability to make good judgements.
I mean, given they hired you as a math tutor, that sounds like hyperbole. Which doesn't sound like it answers my question.
I'm not even a "car guy" but I sure would love to have one of those GT40's from Ford vs. Ferrari. (With a working door :))

Looking around in the average small city in the US today, McDonalds is paying $15-$20 an hour.
Ouch. A re-read and I can see what you mean about it being a bit personal. I wish I'd said it differently.

But the experience was simply mine and I wasn't speaking for anyone else. I don't know of anyone who's had a bad time on them, except a couple who it just made them throw up. It was just a data point, and I was not comfortable about the talk of comedowns as if they were inevitable and awful because they aren't. I've no doubt they can be though as you and @Mezzie testify.

Thanks for the feedback.

> once you've done it everything becomes dull without it

It sounds like you're saying that life is permanently less interesting. I'm sorry that happened to you. This is not a side effect that I am aware of. Are you sure that this came from the drug?

Known side effects are temporary depression (among others). 5-HTP may help ameliorate it.
Can someone explain to me why this is needed vs an imagining tool (say ddrescue)? Is there no tool that actually makes a bit perfect copy yet?
The standard you've laid out proposes that any statement about a man's experience in a relationship is by definition misogynistic, because it's centers the man (and, of course, erases women). Do you stand by that?

Additionally, consider that you are the one bringing the nagging wife trope into this: it's merely one of many possibile explanations and unhappy marriage.
I just, can't imagine what benefit you get from opening an X gigabyte file.

Maybe I don't fully understand the context, but... why shouldn't you open a big file?

I haven't read the whole article, but I did read that the author complains that a 172 kb text file makes the editor slow. It seems that the syntax highlighting is the culprit.

I have a similar problem with my current editor of choice. I used to have a "raw" visualizer for all kind of files. Sometimes the file format is just unknown and it's useful to take a look at its contents (does it start with PK?) or you want to make a quick overwriting edit (to change some binary flags) or edit text in a huge machine-generated text file without any formatting beyond line feeds.

If I understood the author correctly, he's saying that structured editors are superior to a syntax highlighting system that's based on regexps, when you use them for programming. I agree wholeheartedly. It's a clear-cut case of the "don't repeat yourself" principle.
MDMA make you feel in love. It doesn't matter what you talk about or how much.
Absolutely not, infact believing government == social would be itself antisocial

There is nothing social about government, government is force, government is coercion

You can not claim to replace personal responsibility, community, family, etc with a system of governance that by its very nature achieves is objective exclusively by the threat of violence on a population as being the more "social" way to have a society

Social societies are bound by a sense of community and voluntary action, not by government mandates and regulations enforced by police and regulators.

Government is Anti-Social.
Risk sharing is best done through insurance. The government has no need to be involved in healthcare, beyond subsidizing premiums to some extent for those who are too poor to pay the full cost.

There is nothing more anti-social or anti-human than public health. Look at what they did to us. They stopped people visiting their dying parents in hospitals in a failed attempt to stop the spread of an airborne virus. They told people not to get close to each other, they shut down as much of the economy as they could. They forced us all behind screens, to rely for everything on enormous tech firms that automate every interaction. Absolutely every single action they took was calculated to maximally destroy the humanity of society because they believed, wrongly, that each naturally human act they destroyed was increasing transmission by some trivial percent. And then when Sweden ended up with some of the best results in Europe they ignored it and pretended it didn't exist.

"The only reason you can use the internet is a stable functioning society."

The internet was created by the least totalitarian society on Earth due to fear of attack by the USSR, a maximally totalitarian society that never developed an equivalent to TCP/IP, never even successfully developed a software industry. And today one of the countries that restricts the internet the most, is the country that was welding people into their apartments long after the rest of the world got over COVID and moved on. We can use the internet today because luckily, some people recognized the dangers of totalitarian collectivism and resisted it. Now we must do the same for public health, otherwise next time it's gonna be us behind the welded doors.
>It's pretty trivial to recreate famous works like the Mona Lisa or Starry Night or Monet's Water Lily Pond.

A recreation of a piece of art does not mean a copy, I've personally seen hundreds of recreations of Edvard Munch's 'The Scream', all of them perfectly legal.

Even in a massively overtrained model, it is practically impossible to create a 1:1 copy of a piece of art the model was trained upon.

And of course that would be a pointless exercise to begin with, why would anyone want to generate 1:1 copies (or anything near that) of existing images ?

The whole 'magic' of Stable Diffusion is that you can create new works of art in the combined styles of art, photography etc that it has been trained on.
If you do want the precision improvement of fma, then it makes far more sense to explicitly call fma instead of relying compiler on doing transformation that might not happen for any number of reasons. The key here is predictability, if it was actually guaranteed that expressions in the form of (x*y) + z are always done with fma, then it'd be less crazy. But now you have no way of knowing without looking at the produced assembly if fma is used or not in any particular expression.
There’s a lengthy explanation in the wiki linked from the github page. But basically cd drives don’t give you a raw stream, and does stuff like error correction.

Show HN: RecoverPy 2.0: Recover deleted or overwritten files from your terminal
Repo: https://github.com/PabloLec/RecoverPy

Hi!

I just released RecoverPy version 2.0.0 and wanted to share it with you.
RecoverPy is a tool with Terminal User Interface to recover deleted and/or overwritten data from your terminal.

Version 1.0.0 was released probably around 2 years ago and I was quite amazed by how popular it got :) The initial audience was people trying to recover lost files, but it stuck with hacking/forensics community, I even got to receive mails to appear in hacking magazines and blogs. That was quite unanticipated but I'm glad it's useful to other people :)

I got the idea when I was a noobie coder and, among other flaws, didn't use any VC. I worked all day long on a script when instead of outputting my script execution to a file I... output my log file content into my script file, then bam, my script was gone. I searched for solutions to recover it, the thing is it was not just "deleted", the file was still present, but its content has been overwritten. So after some research, I found it was possible to recover it with mostly a combination of grep and dd. RecoverPy is just that, it uses grep and dd under the hood and eases the whole process.

So in the past few weeks (a few hours during past weekends) I worked on an entire TUI framework switch. Previously I used a dated, unmaintained Python TUI framework, finding a sexy and fresh one was quite difficult when I started the project :/ But months ago I saw the textual project and was amazed by the result. I was only waiting for some widgets to be available (I didn't want to reinvent to wheel) to jump into it.
Textual is just amazing honestly and I can only recommend it if you need a Python TUI framework.

I'd be happy to hear any feedback, issue, bug, etc. RecoverPy worked quite well on previous version, 1.5.2, the heavy rework may have introduced some new bugs.
Furthermore, if you want to contribute you're also more than welcome! RecoverPy code is quite simple and textual TUI framework enables a modern asyncio workflow and I think, is a good playground if you want to step up.
I was a half-step back from you. I was in high school after Y2K and some had already paved the way of foolish use of this stuff such that I got long quiet interrogative looks from my dad over the material. Glancing through the introduction, I'm sure I never understood that stuff at the time.

I remember looking through the electronics ideas and wanting to make a pen-microphone-transmitter, but then wondering why go to all the trouble.
I'm glad I filed it away as "I know where to look if I need the information" and didn't do anything with it.

I do remember the discussion of the honeypot nature of some topics and keywords. It is important to understand more about the giant before you attempt to stand on his shoulders.
Or, nobody moved the goalposts and you're reading different people. It's not that difficult a conclusion, is it?

Claiming "Twitter will go down tomorrow because people got fired" is utterly stupid. It's like claiming "My teeth will fall tomorrow because my dentist got fired".
Sure, but the size/quality difference between AAC and OGG isn’t huge enough for most to want to use OGG instead, tracker music formats are niche, and anybody who wants FLAC probably wants one of the hard drive based iPods so they have the amount of space required to store even a small lossless library.
Couldn't we have couple of probes boucing at high speeds (what are the limits?) around planets in the system ready to redirect just for such case ?
FWIW, I am living testament to the fact that they weren't that wrong, at least not to a "blow yourself up" extreme.
This type of ripping, comparing to other rips (paranoia) for bit-for-bit error correction integrity is part of XLD for Mac et al. However, even as a full time audio person, I consider paranoia overkill, and in someways backwards - I want my rip to be my unique rip and not precisely anyone else's - though of course, it most likely is anyway.

You do realise, assuming you ripped to a lossless audio format, your cd rips are 8-12x more accurate than anything streamed of Spotify?
I'd also add Concept 2 rowers to that list.

Mine has seen over 5 million meters and all I've had to do is oil the chain and periodically wipe down the rollers/rail.
Opiates are generally easier on the body than people realize when distributed in a controlled setting. Alcohol does much more damage directly to the body. That's part of why opiates or opioids are still widely prescribed for pain in hospitals, and vodka shots aren't.

It's the addiction that's a bitch. Of course heroin street addicts end up in bad shape-- but a lot of that is from tangential effects, not directly from the drug itself.
