> I don't see how pornographic bans wouldn't qualify as "doctrinal" though they are not particularly partisan.

You're leading with the assumption that you and I (or anyone else, really) agrees on what "pornography" is, much less that we agree in a non-partisan context.

The context here is that there's been a significant effort in the last ~18 months to reclassify LGBTQ fiction and non-fiction as pornographic and have it removed from school libraries on that ground. Justifications for that vary, from the more staid pearl-clutching ones, to rehashes of old and dangerous stereotypes about gays predating on children. That is absolutely a doctrinal concern, even if the nominal topic ("don't show children porn") is one that appears reasonable and uncontroversial on face value.
So you say and yet not having children or doing it later is correlated with more income and wealth rather than less.

It seems pretty simple. Stop putting toxic waste in the water. If you’re worried about dental health, cut the sugar and use those little interdental brushes in addition to flossing and brushing well.
Show HN: A typical weekend of coding for me, with links to commits on GitHub
This is the type of report I have my developers write on the team. Here is a rundown of what I did this weekend:

Streams-related

1. Finished implementing stream.observe() and stream.neglect() to work even when socket reconnects.
https://github.com/Qbix/Platform/commit/704ee677a6937f0b20a26d6a3c56f6aff812ab47

2. Implemented stream.ephemeral(payload) that can be sent to any stream now, and whole system of ephemeral is now working parallel to messages. Unlike messages, ephemeral isn't saved to the database, doesn't trigger notifications for subscribers, and the order doesn't matter. It's for things like "Typing..." indicators and other temporary things. Ephemeral is like UDP while Messages is like TCP.
https://github.com/Qbix/Platform/compare/e8ea5c11..dab4c9af

3. Implemented participant.testRoles(roles) to standardize testing roles, kind of like we have stream.testPermission(permission) but for participant extra, so we don't need to do heavy calculateAccess, inheritAccess, etc. https://github.com/Qbix/Platform/commit/014857005b7d52470262f52105f90b584083b907

Serving Files and CDN

4. Added support for signing URLs that we want proxies and CDNs to serve (although they can just check the HTTP "Origin" header to know what domain requested them)
https://github.com/Qbix/Platform/commit/2ef28abbfe4dc41b1e94ff4a8db244f8822f43f3

5. Implemented gating files in Q/uploads/Streams when served with NGinX, now unauthorized users won't be able to see those files unless testReadLevel("content") is true
https://github.com/Qbix/Platform/commit/d2a4be2874b54c4eaab08b63d2fe806d7541714a

... but this requires web/file.php and NGinX configuration like we have now in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/intercoin.app on live server

6. Implemented Q_Text::setLanguageFromRequest() so it can be called from file.php
https://github.com/Qbix/Platform/commit/c06441d7bcee8d591cf41fd36e0762b118f20df1

Miscellaneous Fixes

7. Fixed terms page, it used echo but should have used return
https://github.com/Qbix/Platform/commit/bd513cf0c677557224d7962dca9371a14452eac5

8. Fixed Q/options default handler of HTTP OPTIONS verb

9. Fixed bug that was still getting streams from other publishers when relationsOnly was true
https://github.com/Qbix/Platform/commit/587c526ff02d878ab11d39f87b64f1a7ecfb683b

... Oh, and tested everything as much as I could, finally.

This builds on https://github.com/Qbix/Platform
I think that's basically the nuclear option that I really want to avoid. I think it would cause irreparable damage to the group especially at this moment where it's very possible the company is about to significantly increase in value.

To be clear, I haven't had a talk with CUXO yet, so maybe I'll just explain my reasoning and he'll accept it. However, I don't feel like that's likely.

It's hard to explain but I feel like he's been planning this move for some time now. Little things, like inserting himself in some of my teams communications and insisting on us publishing final data to his db.
Yes, this is a thread about YouTube. Why are we confirming this?

I meant no JavaScript as in me meddling with the js.
While the cheapest CO2 sequestration sinks are limited in capacity, there seems to be enough alternatives that could be scaled up to virtually any required capacity.

Furthermore, direct air capture doesn’t appear to require anything else that isn’t abundant - and the absorption materials and catalysts can be recycled indefinitely.

I’m not sure I’ll live to see it but my belief is that in the latter half of the 21st century we’ll see direct air capture deployed on a truly astonishing scale.
It says compared to marriage. And why in the world would cohabitation without marriage automatically include having children??
This is the first time I'm posting something like this. I'm a bit self-conscious about the mistakes I make and then correct on GitHub, but in the end I test everything.

I've been known to have my developers catch and fix my bugs for me, though :) I often do "big-picture" sprints like this, and then we pay the technical debt over the next couple weeks as we do integration testing on various apps.

That’s the problem people have with WordPress, the tons of plugins they install.

Not much WordPress’s fault, aside from making writing and installing plugins easy and maybe not including a bazillion features few will use out of the box.

I think Gutenberg is still not ready, but when it matures, it may be a better alternative to the page builder plugins like Elementor, etc.

Comparing a hosted open source solution to Squarespace and the likes is non sequitur, IMO
I have definitely felt the pain of doing manual classification. I’m not sure how much time it would save though. I’ve also split up tasks like this so it might be more helpful with multiplayer support.

Bonus points for shipping it in a weekend.
Yes. Excellent modern language with vibrant package management ecosystem. Some of the memory semantics can be a bit tricky to keep straight when to do what and why, but as you understand ownership and borrowing better it gets easier and more intuited. Good trait and generics strategies can be tricky, and asynch is a bit clumsy at times.
One could argue that browsers themselves violate the so called "spirit of the law" because they interpret javascript.

Browser names/standards/whatever are not codified in law. youtube-dl is no different than Google Chrome in this regard. Good luck proving otherwise. If the video had legitimate copy protection and used encryption, etc. I could understand it, but the videos can be pulled by anything that can interpret Javascript. Ask Oracle and Apple how those lawsuits turned out.
And yet cultures all over the globe have invented some form of this ceremony.
We don’t fluoridate our water but from 12-18 we do “fluor happen” (loosely translated: “fluor biting”), where we are given an upper and a lower bit which are both filled with heavily fluoridated gel, you bite into it and after a couple of minutes you take the bits out, rinse your mouth and then spit out any left-overs.
The Mujahideen were not the Taliban, which did not exist until 5 years after the Soviet-Afghan War. Some of the US-backed resistance fighters did go on to join the Taliban, but others opposed it and later sided with the US when they invaded in 2001.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghan_mujahideen#Relationship...

All that being said, obviously the US has failed repeatedly in Afghanistan, but the initial intervention against the Soviets was not the main factor. The Taliban's persistence is due to multiple US geopolitical blunders that happened in the decades after the Soviet-Afghan War.
I was curious so I looked it up. This site seems to have some technical details:

> Some slot machines operate on downloadable software, which comes from a central server. In these cases, the casino doesn’t have to open a game and change a chip.

> Instead, they can simply download the software to alter RTP. But just as with replacing an EPROM chip, casinos need to follow their jurisdiction’s guidelines when changing server-based payout percentages.

> What is perplexing is the government has not allowed a “narrow bank” that simply passes deposits into treasuries, which would be much safer.

I guess, in some ways, but that's exactly what led to SVB's collapse. It's only safer in a declining or flat interest rate environment or when you use short duration treasuries. Otherwise, this exact strategy leaves you vulnerable to a bank run. See above. This investment strategy requires active risk management, and that means the same kind of regulation you're bristling at.

> I believe that fractional reserve banking based on fiat currency is inherently risky. However the state does not make it easy for me to avoid this. However it is possible for even the moderately wealthy person to take safe action to reduce such risk.

It's not really, fractional reserve is where money comes from. Money is created when debt is issued and it is destroyed as the debts are repaid. This is how interest rates control the money supply. As interest rates go up, repayments remain constant and originations drop, so the supply goes down. The M2 supply has shrunk about a trillion dollars over the last 8 months, and this is why.

It's weird to me how few people this seems intuitive for, and I only learned about it over the last few years.

The risk is basically zero for anyone under the FDIC limit, which is, substantially everyone. The average American can't rustle up $500 for an emergency expense, never mind $250K in un-invested cash. If you have more than $250-500K but less than $5.5M you can use a sweep account. If you have more than that, you can pay for private insurance.

Remember, nobody has lost a penny of FDIC insured funds in over 100 years, so why exactly do you think it's risky again?

> However it is possible for even the moderately wealthy person to take safe action to reduce such risk.

What do you mean exactly.
> once you have Emacs compiled with tree-sitter

Once Emacs 29 releases, your distro will package Emacs compiled with tree-sitter.

> you also need to have a language binding in a shared library in a known location

Emacs already ships with command that clones grammar repo, compiles, and installs the shared library to that known location - this was explained in the article. The only manual thing you need to do is to associate a language with a git repo in your configuration.

> And once you have that, you actually need someone to write a major mode that utilizes it at all.

Emacs developers have been also been working on covering major languages to provide tree-sitter based major modes. I count 23 major modes already being maintained as part of Emacs that will be shipped soon as part of 29.1, not to mention there are a lot more in Melpa (centralised community package repository).

In any case, whole thing with the tree-sitter is that it really makes writing major modes easy. It's all declarative now, including indentation rules that had traditionally been tricky to get right.
Easy embedding is one of the goals of FixScript [1] (my language). It consists of a single C file (and a header). It even includes a JIT while not being gigantic. It also provides a more direct C API which I think is more friendly for embedding.

It has strong support for backward and forward compatibility, a great feature for embedding usage to not make your scripts obsolete and generally working in any version of the host application.

My wife comes from a country that did not add fluoride to the water. She has very good dental hygiene but here teeth are not in good shape for her age. That's one data point that I have observed.
Yes, there was a risk.

You can say that borrowing from the markets is riskless for the Fed, because it can always pay back with the printing press.

But lending to the markets is still risky: because market participants don't have a printing press to help fall back on.

(In this case, the Fed often also bought some assets and later sold them; that's financially equivalent enough to lending that it doesn't make a difference here.

Especially if the assets you are buying and selling are bonds.)
It’s anecdotal but based on 20-30 years observations. Recall reading something about the Y chromosome being more fragile so age and lab work would agree with this. Just knew lots of 40-ish coworkers and buddies with lots of girls and few boys.
>also the browsers never got around to implement any sensible UI (e.g. you cannot log off)

FWIW in firefox you can go to "clear recent history" and then uncheck everything but "active logins". This will wipe out any currently logged in basic auth.
I am an older geek. I never got the CoC against sexual harassments. It is f*cking illegal. Should be reported to the police and taken care of by the actual laws.

Coc seems like a law thing but who is enforcing it? Laws you have democratic elected people voting which laws, you have police checking if people follow them, courts giving out punishment. See they are 3 separate entities for a reason. Coc is written by the org, enforced by the org an punished by said org. Doesn't seem like an improvement.
> Are you implying these books are so unpopular that a good chunk of their influence and profitability is very much dependent on left-wing public school librarians subsidizing them by making sure they are included in the catalogues?

No; please don't editorialize. It's obvious that the goal of these bans is to ensure that children and young adults who otherwise wouldn't have access to these books continue to not have access.

> I invite you to check if the library of your local high school has a physical copy of say "When Harry Became Sally", "The Bell Curve", or even "The Blank Slate"

It has two of the three[1][2]. You need to reevaluate your assumptions here.

(And note: I grew up in a district where students simultaneously have access to one of the largest public library systems in the world, by default. I'm positive I could find all three additionally in that system.)

For many Americans, travelling out-of-state is a big deal. If its important enough many of them can make it happen, but many seem to have decided that formalizing their relationship in one legal category is not that important.

There are other reasons why Americans might become less likely to choose one legal form for their marriage, like an American friend of the right-libertarian persuasion who does not just object to marriage, he objects that the laws of his state declare that he and his long-term, live-in partner have various obligations to each other which they have not explicitly contracted. OTOH there is the daft way healthcare works in the USA which can create incentives to use a particular legal form.
Twenty years ago, I moved from Michigan (a state that uses fluoride) to Mississippi (a state that doesn't use fluoride). My dentist at the time told me that I was going to end up with tooth decay if I stayed down there for more than a few years. Sure enough, five years later I moved back to Michigan and ended up with a cavity in an unusual place. My (new) dentist in Michigan was completely unsurprised.

He said there are two problems with tooth decay in Mississippi:

1. They don't use fluoride in their water.
2. No decent dentist would ever work in Mississippi.

Fifteen years later, with no changes in dental hygiene in my entire life, and I've had no other problems with my teeth. Anecdotal evidence, maybe. But that is my experience.
I heard you can avoid that, Using some kind of pre marriage financial agreement, does that actually exist? I don't livs in the U.S. so I don't know.
I guess I would definitely enjoy reading feedback, whether it has praise or criticism, from experienced people that work with PHP, websockets, HTTP, and whatever else.
> On the casino side I can imagine a a slot machine might be required to have some kind of certified RNG and some requirement of statistical behavior, or that a roulette wheel must have some certification of symmetry etc.

A colleague of mine from college works for the gaming commission in our state (not NV.) had a 'catch-up' dinner a little over a decade ago. She intimated that one of her duties was to take the ROMs from slot machines and run them through a device that calculated the hash [0], to make sure that the code matched an 'approved' code base.

[0] - I can't recall whether it was MD5 or SHA-1, but definitely one of the two. Hopefully that's changed by now!
> For exposure purposes, f1.5 is the accurate and most important spec for that lens.

This is a very common misunderstanding. To whatever extent the camera "looks like" it's using a 35mm-format f/1.5 lens from an exposure standpoint, it's only because the sensor gain is turned way up to compensate. As a result, SNR is worse, so it's like you took a darker exposure on a better camera and then cranked it up in post.
It wouldn't; it is one example of many circumstances that tend to arise in a long-term relationship that make it difficult to unwind regardless of legal status. The legal protections inherent in marriage can actually be desirable when unwinding a relationship.
Compared to marriage that sounds even worse.

"I'd much rather have absolutely no legal rights if this shit goes tits up, I'd hate to have any sort of legal framework around dividing our assets!"
Statins are dangerous... they block cholesterol, which incidentally, is fundamental, crucial, even, to the formation of both cell membranes and innumerable important hormones.

They are no solution at all. Just a fad.
Fantastic summary of Gutenberg’s mistakes. They also completely missed the Headless CMS movement when they designed Gutenberg this way.

Having said all of that, we use Headless WordPress for many many client projects and have got it working really well for us. For us it’s much better than Sanity, Craft and Prismic. The WP-GQL plugin and ACF are really amazing.
Except that is BS because these are purely technical positions being reacted towards, not anything about human relationships or power dynamics
Fossil fuels are a finite supply. In more and more locations it is simply not economically viable to pull it out of the ground, though we will be dying in foodstuff and water wars before they completely tap out.

The end of fossil fuel consumption is as certain as the sun rising tomorrow. The only variable is if it happens by us or to us.
Neither are a good idea but vodka is virtually pure water and alcohol. Whisky has a bunch of other stuff in it, including sugar.
> The f/1.5 is an actual rating.

You're not disagreeing with my actual argument, which is just "they should use the equivalent ratings for both focal length and f-stop". If you prefer physically-based specs, you should be demanding that they also say the focal length is 7mm or whatever.

> It's important for shutter speeds, and relative performance in low light

It's completely useless for determining low-light perf without knowing the crop factor.

> I can compare roughly a phone camera that's at f/1.5 vs a phone camera that's at f/2

Not without knowing the crop factor. You're falling for the marketing.
I can attest that this. There is no advantage to being married in BC (and many other places)

It's not because we are afraid of commitment, like this flimsy article suggests. We simply don't care about the symbolic ritual.
ah, easy. it's because support has not been added into https://github.com/github/semantic which is the tech that powers the GitHub UI. Adding support is pretty easy/mainly glue code [1] that imports the tree sitter API.

In university, we used individual macro components in Altera's tools (ModelSim/Quartus) to construct a microcoded, superscalar, pipelined CPU with branch prediction. It was way more painful than Verilog but had a "visual programming" UX to it.

For a complete processor emulating the real world, there's OpenSPARC.

https://www.oracle.com/servers/technologies/opensparc-t2-pag...

I'm sure there are dozens of open core RISC-V implementations out there and maybe some ARM ones too.
Don't forget about the undocumented "bugs" that developers began to rely upon. I was a win16/win32 developer that later implemented the very APIs I used to build stuff in a certain open source project simply because I understood all the bugs/nuances. Quite a few of these bugs Microsoft did NOT fix due to compatibility.
> As a blogging platform it's fantastic. If I wrote a blog, it would probably be my first port of call

Why over just using a static site generator?
The definition of fraud is deception with the intent of enriching yourself.
Marriage isn’t a pre-requisite for any of that
Really interesting case for discussion here.

We're all making our own stuff according to our important tastes... And yet WordPress is out there massively more successful than just about anything.

How? Why? Is it just that they were early? What's the secret to their success?

To me, it's that it seems (even if it isn't) like it makes website building simple.
As a millennial, I cannot comprehend how 39% of people could have kids at 25. In between the financial crises, pandemics, and grinding hard to some day afford something meaningful. like actually appealing real estate, I am not close to having means to support another person.

I think there's a baseline for the "child in household" metric. Some % of people will always want to have kids, no matter what circumstances. It's inelastic for them - whether times are great or they are just getting by, or even if they are below the poverty line, they will have kids. Maybe one in six, or one in five. I think a large proportion of people for whom the choice is dependent on circumstances are choosing to not have kids anymore, at least in their 20s.
I own Maus myself and am a big fan. I agree about public libraries. Less convinced about school libraries for minors.

My point was that when Maus stopped being part of required reading in one school district, that was reported as a "book ban", which is very misleading.

So now I'm suspicious of other reported "book bans" until I've heard the details.
correct. adding support for new language is a matter of opening up a pull-request with the appropriate gluecode.

A good title to help further his career seems like a valid concern (even if the title itself may not be legitimate), but so are your concerns.

You could put the burden of finding a solution on him? Share your concerns - that you did the bulk of back-end technical work, and feel that giving someone else the CTO title would devalue it. If he can find a way to get a better title (CTO or something else) without devaluing other roles, then you would not object. Since he's the one that wants to change things, it seems fair that he come up with a solution.
