I was stuck in traffic downwind of a semi fire once and it was like breathing death

Mixed material fires always smell horrible, and I haven't experienced vinyl chloride, but it sounds like it has a typical sweetish chlorocarbon smell, which probably won't trigger a "this might be toxic" reaction for many people. I'm more surprised that they didn't get overcome by the fumes, given that any remaining liquid would be boiling. Maybe they just held their breath...
Essentializing all members of an ethnic group, many of whom have nothing to do with what you're accusing them of, is the definition of racism.
Is this the right way to expose that hypocrisy though? If his goal was to truly bring society together and eradicate hate, I'm sure someone as smart as Adams could expose it in a more amicable and less polarizing way.
Yes. I know that. But 'ze Görmänz' have this special concept of Amtssprache/legal/official language in which you have to conduct business.
Which especially applies to larger businesses, which in turn leads to such strange experiences with outsourced hotlines in all over south-eastern Europe, Cyprus, Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Portugal insisting to speak in their sometimes not that good German to you, while you could be done with it much faster and less ambiguous in English.

Because of that I'd say it's very uncommon to have the hotline talk to you in English. Another reason would be that no hotline is ever calling you, without you having asked for that call(back). That just won't happen.

I guess it's a cultural thing, as evidenced by dubbing of movies/tv-series, and not just subtitling them like it is done elsewhere. At least in the past. Getting blurry with things like Netflix.
HN tends to filter for people who are more academically inclined; people for who mastering a topic is a goal, and believe that education systems should support that.

Taking a wider view, this is not really something that society wants in a widespread system; mandatory education systems do two things: They provide a minimum skill level; and they filter people into groups based on whether or not they can pass some bar. Better outcomes for more spending only really becomes a topic where the minimum bar is not being met.

Education systems/techniques set up for effectiveness first do exist, but typically in spaces where there is a need for an individual to obtain a specific skill (military education, employer training in high demand and skill areas, private tutoring).
I like how The Diamond Age explored this idea with it's "child alone in the world, but with a magic learning book" story.
Offtopic, but I've googled Tailwind because of this comment. This seems absolutely crazy to me, in the worst sense imaginable. So, there was (and still is) "style" attribute in HTML. It leads to lots of repetition and yadda yadda, so people started using classes instead to write their CSS. There are dozens of schools of "best practices", or meta-frameworks, or actual frameworks to make it all more manageable, but now typically each element still has like 5 different classes specifically to define styles. So, finally someone got tired of it and came up with an ingenious solution: JS framework that dynamically defines CSS-classes with CSS-property-like names to write styles right in the HTML again, but to use class attribute instead of style attribute?! What's even the point?!
> We're cancelling the person who said stay away from people who said that.

Factually wrong. He is saying to stay away from "Black people" in the abstract. It is plainly racist and there is no redeeming context in the video.
The most difficult aspect of this is that SQL is typically called from some other language (Javascript, C++, whatever), which gets data from somewhere (a web form, a previous database query, a file) and needs to plug it into a new SQL query, which generally needs to be sent to an SQL interpreter ("SELECT $DATA1 FROM $DATA2" etc), not to an inflexible pre-made compiled SQL command.

And that obviously is susceptible to injection attacks.

Really the only general way around this would be if all of those other languages had an API to communicate with a relational backend which did not interpret SQL at all, but rather only offered things like select_statement(fieldname, tablename, ...)

Such interfaces exist, but I'm not really familiar with them, nor why they're not universally used -- except to note that it's a lot of work to create an SQL library. Look at the SQL language; it's a lot to support, particularly if you need to avoid 100 arguments passed to a function, etc. (Just saying one shouldn't leap to trivializing such projects.)

Scott Adams is a smart guy who’s been going in this direction for years (not just since Trump). His comic centered on seeing through bullshit and you can’t write a comic like that for as long and as successfully as he has without seeing through some bullshit yourself.

Since this was very predictably going to happen sooner or later, presumably he has already made arrangements for his financial security in the event of being cancelled. He is quoted as saying “I’m ruined”, which (knowing Scott) is equally likely to be the truth or be a clever manipulation - let them believe it worked so they move on.

Mastery education is great, and a form of it was shown to be successful in pilot schools throughout the US as early as 1919. The program was called “The Winnetka Plan,” and it was a result of progressive ideas coming from John Dewey.

My father attended a high school where the program was used, and he said it was great. He was able to get help from the teacher when he needed it, and he was able to finish his high school requirements a full one year early. This is because mastery is individualized and is based on reaching learning goals not “time in a seat” or “time in grade.”

There are many articles about the plan on the Internet. Here is a link to one of them:

http://schugurensky.faculty.asu.edu/moments/1919winnetka.htm...

The question is: why don’t all school systems use this approach? Heck, why don’t more teachers take this approach in their classrooms?

If the goal is mastery of certain basic concepts, then why allow some students (sometimes many students) to fail?

Unfortunately I don’t know the answer. It could be the fact that students can’t sit still and work independently when they are in a classroom filled with other kids. It could be that schools and teachers are there just to control students rather than teach them. Your guess is as good as mine.

Ask HN: If you were to host some scrapers and a MySQL db what would you choose?
I need to host some scrapers and also data for each sites stored as JSON along with the scrapers. Let's say the scraper runs only once a day.
And I need to host a Mysql db whose data is used to statically render pages. So, the data is queried like 10 times a day.

In such a scenario, how much would you expect the total costs would be and what service would you use?

>People were told something? by whom?

I couldn't find the clip, but I think I saw it on CNN. It was one of the mainstream news outlets, might have been ABC or NBC or something like that.

>You act as if there is some sort of authority on this...

I think you are reading more into my comment than you should.

>online, sooner or later, you will see just about any opinion expressed.

Sure... Not sure why that matters. I'm not just talking about random posts.

> so when you give the example you did, what value is it? the standard shouldn't be "what someone says online" but what a reasonable person would think.

The problem is mainstream outlets are pushing this. That influences people and can cause people who were reasonable to become unreasonable. Unless you don't think people watched by millions can influence others?

The truth is always more nuanced in reality.

1. He wrote that in 2012, citing a study from 2007. Standards for wood stoves have changed. Old wood stoves and open fireplaces are unquestionably dirty - in the 30-50 grams of particulate released per hour, sometimes more. But is it fair to compare them to, say, modern EPA standards which have a 2.5 gram limit per hour which took effect in 2015, or the 4.5 gram limit from 2012? I don't believe so. Sure, if you still have that ancient 80s wood stove still in your house, it's unquestionably far more dangerous than a modern product. The masonry heaters in this original post have been hitting 1-3 grams of particulate for over 30 years now. Some heaters managed to score less than 1 gram of particulates released in MHA EPA-certified testing in 1998, beating standards decades ahead of time.

2. "The case against burning wood is every bit as clear as the case against smoking cigarettes." This is an argument that proves too much - because the exact same arguments about "creating pollution you can't dispose of" is equally valid of cars. It's also, arguably, equally valid for when you buy unnecessary products on Amazon, or do any CO2-emitting activity. You would have to show it is a particularly unconscionable level of emissions - which, with modern efficiency meaning you can get about 20~25 fires in a modern device for the damage of a single campfire... if you are going to burn wood, I'd prefer you had a modern wood stove habit than a campfire habit.

All of which may be both true and beside the point, especially since he shares the byline with Eric Schmidt and the dean of MIT's computing school. I'm genuinely not sure who there is cosigning whom.

Is irrelevant to this situation, better breaks would not have fixed this situation as the actual cause of the derailment was a failed axel. The breaks thing is a partisan talking point meant to deflect blame from the current administration.

Yeah. I mostly set it up if I'm mostly going to be working on a laptop, reading, on mostly one-way video in my "sunroom" where the stove is--which also happens to be a fairly new well-insulated room when it's really chilly given that my house as a whole is a 200 year-old farmhouse.
Due to lackluster repairs on the bridge, the control system was bypassed due not showing any signal that the bridge was locked. they did get out and inspect the "locks" but the guy who did it was only shown the locks years before the accident.
Wait. You're saying that he's being ignorant and segregationist, for not wanting to spend time with people who don't think it's okay for him to be the race he was born as? That's absurd.

It is okay to be white. It is okay to be black. It is okay to be any race, creed, color, sex, or orientation. Anyone who says otherwise is a bigot. And no, it isn't segregationist not to want to spend time with people who are bigoted toward you.

I agree, it's only unambiguously correct in vacuum with no social context. Unless you control for what possible extra meaning can be assigned or implied here, it's a terrible poll - that's why I called it meaningless (as a poll question). If that one doesn't resonate for some people, let's try some other examples that should have unambiguously correct answers: "Is it ok to say gay?", "Is it ok to be a proud boy?", "Is it ok to support uniformed workers?", "Is it ok to love children?", etc. Now add the actual social context you're thinking of... Are they still unambiguous?

A more meaningful one would be "do we still have issues with racism?" without a gotcha approach. (That the poll creator did not acknowledge)

The original iPhone had 128MB of memory. The iPhone 6s (releasing in 2015, which is the oldest model currently receiving security updates) has 2GB of memory. The latest iPhone, the iPhone 14, has 6GB.

It doesn't make sense for Apple to support devices that aren't even going to be able to run the apps that users want. Not many users are going to want to be using a 6-7 year old device when hardware is advancing and therefore the software is becoming more resource hungry.
> One of the byproducts of their operation was a highly radioactive substance known as Thorium.

As a nuclear engineer, I find the use of "highly radioactive" to be an overstatement. Thorium and other TENORM [1] (and their secular equilibrium products) are among the lowest activity kind of radioactive thing there is. Otherwise, it would have all decayed away billions of years ago.

More radioactive = less stable = short half-life

Less radioactive = more stable = longer half-life

> Better outcomes for more spending only really becomes a topic where the minimum bar is not being met.

Usually we just get calls for more spending, without the better outcomes. It's all about throwing good money after bad, into a failing system that's already among the most expensive in the world.
The biggest difference I spot between the two is that WebGL2 uses OpenGL ES 3 and WebGL uses OpenGL ES 2, but really other than supporting by default things that required extensions in WebGL I don't see much of an improvement. Also, it was released in Firefox in 2017 meaning it has been here for a long time already [0].

Interestingly enough projects such as Godot seem to until recently give preference to other APIs such as Vulkan and OpenGL ES 2 over OpenGL ES 3, not sure why though [1]. The biggest culprits seem to be mobile and Safari not implementing WebGL 2 until last year (what the hell Apple) [2].

I should note I'm not really familiar with neither APIs and only have a high-level understanding of WebGL.

> even though this category lacks the skills and the interest to repair their devices anyway outside of a rare few exceptions

Most poor people do have the skills to take their device into a repair shop to have it repaired?

It makes a big difference to the price of the repair if the device is designed to be repairable. Even better if it’s something a user can do themselves, such as replace the battery in a Nokia 3310.
Compared to what? Governments that spend billions on useless things and make things far more expensive than they need to be?

Healthcare used to affordable for most. Now it’s insanely expensive per month for a family, and still costs a huge amount to actually use. That’s not free market, that’s government trying to help out.

Free market has raised hundreds of millions out of poverty.
It’s far from perfect, but it’s better then everything else.

This was their original announcement article

This is their current security update list (not os updates)

"... And select devices launched in 2019 or later will be supported with firmware security updates for a minimum of four (4) years following their global launch, while select newer devices will receive up to five (5) years of security updates."

It's a good start I'd say, considering that Samsung is a major player in the android phone space.
This issue is only cosmetic as the other commenter explained. vim won't insert the character until you indicate you're not invoking the keymap (either by waiting or by typing other characters).

If you want a plugin that makes it so that the j appears immediately regardless of whether you're trying to invoke the keymap or not, you can use something like https://github.com/nvim-zh/better-escape.vim
I don't believe that this will happen in practice in any event. First, implementations have... let's say personality conflicts? That is, I would be shocked if GNOME replaces its screenshot protocol with the "standard" any time soon. Second, even when it's true it requires every single compositor to actually connect all the bits up. For instance, I don't use QWERTY if I can help it. So a little while back, I tried a new compositor that was based on wlroots, which supports changing keyboard layouts. Guess what I couldn't do, because that specific compositor hadn't gotten to plumbing that specific feature through? Guess what works on every single X11 window manager, no matter how barebones, because X11 can manage separation of concerns?
That’s just what opening a new tab in your web browser is.
