Interesting! So there is a kind of resurgence in this. Nice to see that other manufacturers take the longevity and service of their engines serious for personal transportation. There was a point in time where MB seemed to be the lone holdout and the only other manufacturers that used chains were mostly making trucks (and Porsche). To me it's a no brainer, especially with an engine where the pistons don't clear the valves when they are active. The kind of engine damage that a broken timing belt results in is usually enough to completely scrap the engine. I wonder if those other manufacturers chains are also rated for the life of the engine or rather not.
That's what I see in my desktop running Bullseye. And it lists the servers

I suppose according to the other reply these are not operated by Debian but include their their name.
This looks interesting, though I'd probably do at LEAST little schemer finally before checking this one out (been meaning to pick up some of the Little x books but haven't, though I've been getting back to lisp through CL on things like PAIP).

These cases do not say what you think they say. Please cite to the actual parts of the decision that discuss the legality of administrative subpoenas issuing for a criminal case rather than the admissibility of information provided in response to a civil subpoena to a third party or a first party in a civil case. Recall that we are talking specifically about the use of a pen register in a criminal case brought by the DOJ, not random regulatory compliance required in highly regulated industries.

The FTC case is a civil case. The DOJ case does not even mention the word subpoena as far as I can see. The SEC case is a civil case.
US representatives and senators who spoke up against Israeli settlements tended to lose against opponents with AIPAC funding. It's been going on for decades.

What we now see is an evolution into social media.

Al Jazeera had prepared a story on the tentacles AIPAC had into US politics, but at the time Mohammed bin Salman was making serious noises about invading Qatar,one of the reasons being Al Jazeera's reportage.

The story was dropped and MbS was persuaded to back off.

That's interesting. Then Debian is not getting the information I thought.
The thrombosis was reported by the exact medical authorities that antivaxxers claim are hushing up the truth, using the exact diagnostic and reporting system they claim doesn’t work. The system worked exactly as intended.

The myocarditis is caused by the same spike proteins that are in the virus itself, and the relative risk of myocarditis from an actual Covid infection versus the vaccine is many times higher.

Which can all be found after 30 seconds of Googling or simply by paying attention to all the news these got over the last few years.

Guilty as charged. But an Onyx "boox" is in my future, and I'll be able to deal with Google, Kindle, Kobo, and Calibre sourced books through Android readers on a passive display. At that point, I will be much more interested in other sources of reading material which know "Scott Turow" is a person, not a style.

Some countries are cheaper for some things than others, that's why so many jobs from the west were offshored to parts of the world with inferior legislation, inferior infrastructure and inferior currency's.

Every country has their own currency, and some currency is more expensive than other currency's, so 1 British pound can buy 1.2 US Dollars, 1.12 Euros, 161 Japanese Yens and so on. The British pound is also the oldest central bank currency in the world.

So when someone buys something made abroad, they are buying into Child Abuse and Slavery.

Unfortunately, our Govt's also force people into this situation by putting things like govt services online when considering how much of todays tech is made in country's with questionable legal frameworks.

And all the while is also draws attention away from the financial system that cant make its mind up, how its going to evolve to fulfil its social contract and obligations with the public because some people cant relinquish power masquerading as knowledge.

Its all chicken and egg situation stuff.

It'd be worthwhile for recreation, but software is kind of unique in eschewing credentials in favor of experience and ability. Civil engineers must be accredited to practice. While I don't think the requirements are as rigid for mechanical engineers, I expect a greater proportion of mechanical engineering jobs have a degree as a hard requirement than in software. This probably leads to less interest in things like teachyourselfmeche.com

Ask HN: How to have a long career in tech?
I’ve been in this field professionally for 6 years and work as a senior engineer at big tech.

Curious on opinions for sustaining a long-term technical career in tech. Not interested in management and looking to stay technical.

I see the market shifting, but obviously that doesn’t mean core CS knowledge disappears. I’m moreso looking to stay ahead of the curve, but what does that mean? Master stats and ML? Master the fundamentals because those never change?

Would be nice to hear a perspective from the older generation who have weathered so many storms.

> Back in December, we wrote an article detailing three different options for CSS Nesting.

> Web developers responded to the poll with great clarity. Option 3 won in a landslide.

Yup, pretty much. The only thing I really wish won however was making the beginning "&" always required for nesting. Instead you're able to omit it if there's any other symbol. Example from article:

main {
.bar { ... }
#baz { ...}
:has(p) { ... }
::backdrop { ... }
[lang|="zh"] { ... }
\* { ... }
+ article { ... }
> p { ... }
~ main { ... }
}

The position of requiring & was not represented in the poll but seemed really popular in all the comments and seems like it would only make the parser's job easier (both now and in the future of CSS)

Regardless I'm just happy it's finally here! Hard to see the use-cases for sass in 2024 but, like jQuery, it's definitely made its mark on the history of the development of web standards
I don't want direct democracy: the problem of voting shenanigans and corruption just expands from a known set of elected officials who vote on laws to...everyone.

Yeah docker is great and I've done the exact same as you for a few years. But, I don't think I even knew what a docker container was until 2018, and again, as an intern or college kid with a school/work windows workstation telling them to run it in a container is a non starter.
There's enough there to remain suspicious. The Trump campaign hid their meetings with Russians (see Flynn's transition meetings). They lied about the purpose of the Trump tower meetings. They have claimed financial ties to Russian financial institutions in the past.

None of these things are "false connections propagated by Dem politicians and leftists". They have made these connections evident through their own admissions, and denials.

There is certainly a narrative that drives beyond what we have evidence for, but it's absurd to pretend these things were only propagated from political rivals trying to attack their rivals.
> not all of Tokyo is like this; it seems like every time I run into someone online who lives here, they completely forget that Ariake/Odaiba exists, or maybe they've never been there. There are a lot of places where you can't really take a side street because the geography prevents it, so cyclists are forced to divert to main streets for some distance (like over bridges) where they then share the sidewalk with pedestrians.

Ariake/Odaiba you just can't reasonably cycle at all IMO - e.g. you're simply not allowed to cycle across the Rainbow Bridge or through either of the Tokyo Minato tunnels (neither in the traffic lanes nor on the pavement) so if you're coming from the west you have to go 5-10km out of your way before you even start. I tried to go to the cycling course on Wakasu once and gave up, and I'm a pretty confident/experienced cyclist who can usually handle tangling with road traffic. Rather than it being a success story of cycling on pavements / segregated cycling infrastructure, I would bet that the mode share of cycling in Ariake/Odaiba is just a whole lot worse than Tokyo in general.
It looks like it wasn't profitable enough for them, Valisure doesn't seem to run their online pharmacy anymore.

As of 2021, it appears they pivoted to running the lab as a service for other companies. I found one online pharmacy that was using Valisure (Medly.com) but it appears to have gone bankrupt, assets acquired by Walgreens and shut down.

I live in a deep red area and I am a liberal. I’ll happily share my thoughts or talk politics with pretty much any conservative I meet and rarely have I encountered a person that gets angry about my opinions. They might disagree, be dismissive, offer to pray for me, or give me the fabled “bless your heart”, but they are generally polite. However, I avoid those kind of conversations with most anyone who I know to be “on the left”, because those conversations tend to sour faster than milk on a hot day.

Literally I have been told that not being “liberal enough” is worse than being a conservative.
Last time I checked conservatives are typically constitutional literalists and the claim is a violation of Interstate Commerce Clause which would make this rather ideologically on-brand.

Perhaps Portland can fight for Liberty and attack the Supreme Court for the historically overly broad interpretation of scope of the clause and really show them!

The time limit prevents this from becoming a normal distribution channel for legitimate apps, which would condition users to click mindlessly through it. It an attacker wants to try, most people will think it’s weird and scary. But developers only need to do basic developer things (cut builds) to get around it. Pretty clever if you ask me.
Sounds just like Russia!
The comment you responded to says unit tests give confidence, you seem to agree.

"Tests generally" and unit tests are pretty much the opposite camps in testing world.
I'd imagine the labs are a part of it. There are very few places that offer proper engineering as an online program. I've not been through mechanical engineering but for electrical engineering even the first circuits course one goes through will include using scopes, power supplies, and other testing tools. Sure you 'could' use software to emulate this, but emulations aren't real-life.
But almost nobody does it and insurance companies just total cars that have this kind of damage. Yes, in theory, it can be repaired but it's too expensive and because it's hard to guarantee the correctness of the repair, insurance companies don't do it and most consumers wouldn't stand for it.
Will nested CSS support mixing properties and nested rules in any order, or do all the nested rules have to grouped together at the end? Right now, I frequently write SCSS rules like this:

.some-class {
background: blue;
&:hover {background: red}
border: 1px solid;
&:active {border: 1px dashed}
padding: 16px;

display: flex;
gap: 8px;

& > * {
color: red;
}
}

And it would be a pity if that wasn't allowed.

The reason I ask is because I seem to remember an early proposal not allowing this, but I can't find where I read it.
As an amusing aside, my 1995 Saturn station wagon had a timing chain. Thanks to a combination of design flaws, at around 70k miles, the chain skipped a tooth and the engine disintegrated.

But it wasn't just a matter of the chain. All Saturns burned oil from the git-go, and as a bonus, a low oil level would cause the timing chain to lose lubrication, thus causing it to wear out. People who religiously topped off their oil, every time they re-fueled, kept their Saturns for a long time. I was not one of those people.

My next car was a Toyota, which I still drive. The Toyota engine is designed to make it easy to service the timing belt at the prescribed interval, and the car consumes no oil.
It has to draw the line somewhere I guess. Destroying the planet will destroy ChatGPT's own habitat. So it can't be okay with that.
This is probably the vectorized quicksort. I remember the paper detailing the algorithm here on HN.

Since then, I know that if I really need to sort numbers very fast one day, I would have to learn the vectorized way to quicksort.

I would probably write it directly in assembly though, with a C API (coze tinycc, cproc, scc...)

This is valid criticism but … Google faces the very difficult problem of operating a really big organization. In such a place, there is bound to be hyper specialization. An L5 engineer doesn’t worry about customers because they don’t interact directly with them. And this is good.

I think the author is just pointing out the difficulties involved in operating a large organization. There’s certainly ways in which Google can improve, but Im not sure the author has provided any valuable insight into how to fix its deficiencies.

We’ve seen this before several times. The behemoths of yesteryears are todays laggards (IBM, HP etc.). Its the cycle of life for Tech companies.
Awesome to finally have nesting. The way I see it, this took 10 years longer than it should have.

I feel the only big thing missing from the vanilla stack for me right now is a template element that multiple html files can share. Just like how you make a blog header in Jekyll or Hugo and it adds it on all your blog posts get the header. I haven't found an easy way of doing that if I have a bunch of html pages.
100% agree that objectionable speech should not be free of social ramifications. My only concern is with government restrictions on speech.
Most c64 games would fit in about 1/6 of a 170k floppy disc, and loaded entirely into memory at once. Really big ones were on about 4 of those discs. Well, both sides of two discs, since you could flip them over and use the back side.

This thing occupies the equivalent space of about 6 or 7 disc sides. It's crazy huge for a c64 game.

Keeping the oil topped up isn't really a luxury! That must have been quite the thing when it happened. Were you in traffic?
I've heard this argument often, and it's never articulated correctly.

(1) False positives if handled poorly cause suffering.

(2) There is problem where we hide the statistics in an attempt to make things more relatable. Tests are often not "positive" or "negative", they just mean something like "given your situation, you have an x% chance of having this issue".

Conveying the information more accurately and responding correctly fix most problems. Cancers and some other diseases are almost entirely preventable if fixed early enough, which require more testing with more false positives and this is absolutely worth the tradeoff for most people. Ultimately, we should give patients the information and choice whether to test or not.

You may be satisfied by tweets when it comes to government accountability but the point is, not that they should have, it's an explanation why not.

These are mostly about PRNG, not true random sources.

brief funny story. My dad built the 5th computer in the UK, ICCE [0] and one of the tests they wanted to run was statistical analysis over random number fields.

They approached the General Post Office (GPO) which had an RNG called "ernie" [1] which ran the postal investment bond lottery. This is a true RNG, based on radio device avalanche diode behaviour (actually, neon tubes). It was dressed up as a computer but it was basically a detector device and A-to-D converter dressed up to look like one. They asked for a million truly random numbers to run some tests over. Interestingly, ERNIE was made by somebody who worked on Colossus at Bletchley.

The GPO refused to share a feed of numbers: They were concerned the team would discover some predictable event in the number field, and either destroy the post office bond scheme by revealing it, or use it to make millions.

> Trans people are for some reason the only large visible group yelling that speech is violence and saying mean things about them should be illegal.

this in an incredibly disingenuous take. Who is trying to make saying antitrans things should be illegal? last i checked trans people were still trying to access affirming medical care and not be attacked in the streets. If you are referring to like pronouns/names, I still think you are being disingenuous. I think right to self determination is a meaningful thing to fight for, you can argue that one persons request to be called by their chosen name impedes on your speech but i think you're wrong.

> I don't really see F2M people doing it

This is actually a really interesting phenomena! It does have to do with existing double standards in how society treats men and women. The fact is a lot of trans men either have an easier time passing bc masculine aesthetics are easier to adopt or they are dismissed because they aren't seen as a threat by people who think a penis is the thing that makes you dangerous. Of course trans men have their own battles but they largely aren't being branded as a sex offender for existing in the way that trans women are. Also they absolutely are fighting for the same rights, it may seem quieter because the popular culture war talking point is specifically about drag queens. I don't think the media has figured out how to villainize trans men.

> Stop asking for special treatment.

Every minority group fighting for their rights has been told this
I agreed about the word "confidence" and the importance of testing for confidence. You read something into my comment that I did not write nor did I intend. Good for you, I guess.
