> ...FOSS surprisingly skips over this area...

You're not wrong, sadly! While i think there are FOSS options for managing projects, i feel they work only effectively for individuals or very small teams. Maybe also if the small team works in a small (or non-profit) org where there might be less need for corporate style work constraints. But, once you go up a level, and the team gets bigger, or more sophisticated (tech or non-tech, doesn't matter), or even if a small team but operating in a bigger org...that is when many FOSS project management stacks fail to live up to hype. I say as a staunch FOSS advocate, sadly!

Halley’s Comet doesn’t necessarily get close to earth. https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/asteroids-comets-and-meteors/co...:

“During its 1986 appearance, Halley's nearest approach to Earth occurred on the outbound leg of the trip at a distance of 0.42 AU (39 million miles or 63 million kilometers)“

(The orbit of Venus is at about 0.7 AU, so 0.3 AU from that of earth, so that was further away than Venus can be to earth (https://theskylive.com/how-far-is-venus))

It can get a lot closer, though. From that nasa.gov page:

“The comet's closest approach to Earth occurred in 837, at a distance of 0.033 AU (3.07 million miles or 4.94 million kilometers)”

That’s about 13 times the earth-moon distance.
Ah yes, the waylandification of a protocol.
> consume was not invented for Alpha. rather consume should have less overhead than acquire on any platform that [emphasis mine] needs additional memory barriers to implement acquire semantics

Um... which platform?[1] Probably the biggest reason that memory ordering semantics are such a mess, and lockless algorithms such an infeasible disaster, is the propensity of people to argue about this stuff in generic terms, using language and concepts from egghead standards writers instead of examples of real machines. Out of order execution is an engineering technique for physical devices. We should talk about the machines first, and the abstractions later.

It's like going to the mechanic with a leaky valve and having the explanation come back in terms of cycle efficiencies and isentropic losses. It's not actually helpful to understanding the problem unless you already understand the theory. And you won't ever learn the theory unless you see the problem it's solving.

[1] It's a serious question, btw. I genuinely don't know what the target hardware is for "consume" myself, and suspect this is just a pet theory that snuck into the standard.

> As soon as something is a resource, that is, an article to read, a picture to watch, a diagram to open, a sound to play, in short anything for which it makes sense that it should be reachable via an URI, a modal is the wrong choice.

These feel incredibly unrelated to me. Why does that matter at all for the display choice? A modal is getting used because it's a view into another section of the application that doesn't lose the current location of the user.

Further - users (and I mean normal paying users, not HN commentators) rarely ever give a shit about URLs. It's just not important to most people what the string of characters is.

So...

Anywhere you've got multiple steps to complete, or an adjacent resource that might be related and viewed/edited in the context of the parent resource.

Or a form is being filled in and a user wants to enable extras, which requires filling in a different form, etc...

The modal is about not losing the current place for the user. Because most current users don't use multiple tabs/windows for the same product, and they don't pay any attention to the urls.

"Dont open a modal" in cases where the user is likely going to get lost in a detour otherwise is bad advice.
Right but you essentially just mentioned strong typing. There are a billion languages that don’t run into those issues.

Java, Go, C, Scala, Haskell, etc all fix those type issues.
Is the point of this paper that astronomers should be more careful with their descriptive terminology and avoid using words like neighbor and neighborhood that describe static relationship when those relationships don't apply? If so, that's probably a lesson we can apply more universally.
One fun use of emacs even if it isn't your main editor is to use M-x describe-char to see what a character is. Can detect and describe obscure unicode, emoji, math symbols, zero width spaces, right to left text symbols, etc. I often use it if some text looks a bit off and I suspect something is hiding in it, or if someone posts an emoji in IRC and I can't tell what it's supposed to be (in part due to small size). There is also M-x insert-char to search up a character by name and then write it.

I learned of this by watching a Xah Lee stream once where he used it. There is a similar thing with the vim-characterize plugin, but I like that the emacs way is built-in and works everywhere.

"but there's no reasonable expectation of privacy legally."

Um. Isn't that what this case is trying to establish? It's unclear what the legal expectation is or isn't.

Just because we have the technology to do something doesn't mean it immediately follows that erodes a given right. The government can tap just about any call, but courts have restricted that substantially (at least in theory...). If you have not, I recommend watching The Wire and checking out all the hoops that the police have to jump through to establish cause and perform wire taps. Technology is very dated now, but it gives an interesting view. (It is also, I'll add, a damn good show...)

Here, the ACLU is trying to establish that constant camera surveillance of a house is a violation of your rights. Nobody is arguing it's not technically possible, nor is anybody arguing that my neighbor can't have a Ring camera that happens to have my house in its field of view.

But the state planting a camera specifically to surveil a house for months at a time is, arguably, a violation without showing any cause or getting a warrant to do so.

Hopefully on topic: a good English language book on the CIA origin story is “The Devil’s Chessboard” that was a fascinating read. While most of my reading is technical and science fiction, I also really enjoy reading history. It is difficult to understand the world ‘in real time’ but looking back into history more things make sense.

In a democracy, it is important to really understand history, what we got right and what we got wrong. If we want a better world, we need to learn from history.
I'm sure some are profiting handsomely, but as a whole the last 3 years has made business in general look pretty incompetent. They all seemed to zig when they should have zagged and vice versa. It makes you think the professionals are not all they're cracked up to be.

I know the pandemic was new and disorienting, but do these people have no contrarian instincts at all? They just look at what everyone else is doing and do that, lest they stand out and be singled out? If you're in a leadership position and you play the "everyone thought X so you can understand why I did too" card you should be fired.

> never had the feeling someone expected a bribe.

In many places, you either pass the inspection by actually meeting the requirements, or offer a bribe and get closeish to meeting the requirements.

Assuming you're a good citizen who only calls the inspectors over when you're pretty sure you have done everything necessary to pass, then you will never get the opportunity to pay a bribe.
I think tech workers are currently in a weaker position but still a fairly strong position to unionize. There are plenty of people still employed enough to be able to support those laid off, and tech workers as a whole earn enough that many should hav a significant savings for emergencies like strikes. I think we should be organizing to have similar protections like a guild, where we guarantee minimum quality of treatment for us workers but no maximum on perks and wages, not even pegged to tenure.

That’s just an excuse the CEO’s are using to avoid blame. They over-hired during 2020 and 2021 “because everyone was doing it” and now they realize they have 10’s of thousands of employees with nothing to do and huge salaries so it makes no sense to keep them.

Maybe this should be supported by browsers though. The main place where I hate not having modals is when filling out forms and checking for a slightly expanded explanation about what is expected to be filled into a field. What would be the best behavior for those is if a click showed something inline and middle click (or right click -> open in new tab) opened a new page with the correct tab focus behavior.
This works, except when it doesn’t. I’m not sure about react, but Vue router has some funny and unintuitive interactions when you do this which will often result in unnecessary page reloads, either when you push state or when the back button pops it again. Maybe react behaves better but my experience with it has made me not want to directly mess with history unless I have a particularly good reason to.

Why do people still continue to spread this misconception?
With Supreme Court, I assume good faith. I haven't seen anything to the contrary; differences in values and opinions -- even ones I strongly disagree with -- aren't the same as a lack of good faith.

As for lack of political agenda, the Supreme Court may be more polarized than it has ever been (at least in my lifetime), but it's worth looking in context: it's one of three branches.

As has always been the case in US history, it still has much less of a political agenda than either of the other two branches.

- If you're on the left, who seems most reasonable: Donald Trump, Kevin McCarthy, or the most anti-left member of the Supreme Court?

- If you're on the right, you can do the same exercise with Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and the most anti-right member of the Supreme Court.

I have read many Supreme Court rulings I strongly disagreed with and which didn't reflect my values, but I've never read any which felt stupid, corrupt, or done in bad faith. That contrasts with legislative and executive completely.
Strikes are probably the least effective tactic for a tech union. Software isn't a coal mine or a railway. Plenty of products have glided along for a while with very few people maintaining them. Sometimes even zero.

I imagine if we do see tech collective action it'll probably be done quietly in the form of silently exploding technical debt, with documentation that misleads more than it informs and products that collapse under the weight of their own unmaintainability.

No.

I can say that Biden isn't up to the job, and that Trump is a wanna-be dictator who should not be given a second chance at pulling it off. That's apolitical, in that I'm not shilling for either side, but I'm sure not fine with the way things are now. I'm just also not fine with the other side's proposed solution.
I suppose another very loosely defined notion of closeness is the degree of human habitability, in which sense Mars might be closest. Both Venus and Mercury are incredibly hostile environments, although one could argue for floating cities on Venus and a thin habitable zone at the poles of Mercury.

I understand of course that anywhere "not on Earth" is incredibly hostile to Human life, at least what we can see with present day technology. For truly habitable planets, we might have to consider other star systems and even then there's no guarantee we'll find one.

I don't know to what degree is the abundance of oxygen as a loose element a sign of life, but I'd expect it to be bound to minerals anywhere without significant plant-like life. Perhaps finding another habitable planet is the same task as finding life on another planet?

Care to explain this a bit more?

Having decent password hygiene, password rotation, secure password generation and all of that available via browser, apps and commandline IS a no brainer to me.

From a security standpoint you could say they are storing and keeping your passwords all in 1 bucket, while that is true it is encrypted and can be changed / tracked way easier then you would be able to without it.

What's the alternative? Keeping those passwords in your brain and create variants on that password? Sticky notes with passwords?

What about a NEED to share passwords with team members securely? Do you send them over slack / imessage / whatsapp?

Next to that it also functions as a database of accounts where you can see where you have an account with a password that has potentially be leaked and for "known" big providers they forward you to the change password screen in an instant.

To me having a proper password management tool that warns you if any of your passwords get leaked is really worth the price they are asking. Without it a lot of best practices often get lost due to time constraints.

The difference is the police have extraordinary rights to search and seize your property with established probable cause, and the ability to violently detain, even kill you, if they observe anything that might give suspicion of a crime. Your neighbor can’t use footage they acquire for any purpose without your permission of you in your private life without running afoul privacy laws. But the crucial aspect is the extraordinary powers and rights the police are conferred to basically destroy your life on suspicion alone.

They did specify at a high level several cases and that at least in some charges were filed in the article, at least I read it that way:
