Some context for the headline:

> Johnson, the committee says, deliberately misled Parliament.

> Let’s be blunt: they are saying he lied.

> Had he still been an MP, a suggested suspension of 10 days would have been enough to potentially prompt a by election.

> They suggested 90 days. 90. Wow.

> And that’s not the end of it.

> They say he misled the committee, impugned the committee and was “complicit in the campaign of abuse and attempted intimidation of the Committee.”

Yeah no thanks, I don't want to deal with the npm madness. Not to mention that there's nothing in the JavaScript world that is as good as Activerecord yet.

I also don't think this argument makes sense, you don't like changes that are breaking stuff and recommend the JS ecosystem, probably the most churn-heavy ecosystem that exist?

At my work we have a roughly half Rails / half React app, despite that, at least 80% of the updates are on the JS side and unlike Rails, those packages are usually poorly tested and often break functionality. Maintenance is much harder on the JS side.

Humans emulate (or simulate) logic, but it's not our natural state.

Computers are perfect logicians by default, but AFAIK no logic compact enough to be human-comprehensible has been enough to see, hear, or read. At least, not reliably so.

Logic gates are combined to form binary numbers, which are used to label symbols and approximate reals, upon which calculus is approximated in toy models of neurons, which are combined and trained and eventually learn to add numbers and then puts the wrong number of hands onto the third arm of the human it was tasked with drawing.
Cardiff University Network Team Services was the unofficial name for them when I did work experience there
No, no, that's the whole point - assuming standards-compliant users and attackers who follow this RFC, this simplifies firewall operation so that all packets with the evil bit off are not evil and can safely be forwarded, as any malicious traffic without the evil bit is simply noncompliant and should not be there, so any consequences of that are the fault of the noncompliant device (i.e. the attacker) as the firewall is operating properly according to the requirements.

Real life under capitalism is overrated. It is somewhat hard to find an engaging game after 35, since you have already played everything there was and know all the tropes.

Maybe if we did not have a school system that completely kills any innate curiosity in people, they might do something real instead of virtual. Well, one can dream.
Can anyone explain this behavior? These lawsuits must be expensive, even if they end up settling for a reduced amount. It's hard to view this as more than incompetent management.
The benefit of not using AR, but instead using VR, in a workplace is that you can spend less on office space. You can take any room and stuff it with small phone-booths where each worker is in a VR world. You don't have to spend money on a canteen, just feed the worker with a tube in the booth while they are in a virtual restaurant. You can probably get four times as many workers in the same space as the open offices we have today. If the inside of the booths are waterproof they can be simply hosed down with a sprinkler, saving on cleaning expenses as well.

CUDA is proprietary, you're forced to use Nvidia GPUs/TPUs on it (would Coral work?). I bought a couple of Jetson for this purpose. I'm forced to run Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on them. But it works. My workstation however can run on FOSS AMD64 and AMD/ATI GPU. Of course, the CPU isn't FOSS (RISC-V could be, but GPU not). But at least the drivers are, and they're a better netizen than Intel, and Raptor Engineering is too expensive for me.

HN is the antithesis of the long tail, it provides a very short, fixed length tail (~50 topics for 24 hours, and everything repeated), and the classic shared experience which literally disappeared from the world in the past few years. (Okay, every niche is a short tail in a long tail, still.)
They probably didn't expect many people to get more than half way through the game.
They also often use the invented word "brigading" to justify any and all bans. Like you can write literally anything in the subreddit and it can can be considered "brigading" because the threshold doesn't exist for that. Especially tokenbro snowflakes like to do that.

And another popular imaginary reason for bans is the crosspost feature. If you ever crosspost anything from the snowflake sub they will automatically ban you with a script, for using this stock Reddit feature.

Since Monday I've stopped visiting Reddit to try to get less addicted to mindless reading. I've caught myself opening the app like 5 times already, but so far experiment was mostly a success. Need to keep up for a month more I think.
Same. I am into niche table top rpg, boardgames and video games. The number of high quality low budget productions has never been higher. Just check the number of submissions on the Fishblade jam: https://itch.io/jam/fishblade-2023-game-jam. I am following a youtube streamer publishing a let's play/analysis of a different indie game every single day. A lot of those games have strong communities.

It was my understanding that the BIOS password was just one of many security layers that would ideally be in place in a protected environment, said layers being pretty effective when working in concert.

My gripe is the eBay sellers and liquidators who want to sell a BIOS-locked laptop at full price. If a seller can't handle removing/resetting this password, then they shouldn't be selling it, or at the very least, list it as a $5 parts machine.

I lost all faith in Flyvbjerg in the 90's when he published his doctoral thesis. It was published as two volumes, one of them being a philosophical background. That volume was 1) mostly cribbed from the Dreyfus brothers (Hubert and Stuart) and 2) contained many very dodgy quotes from Aristotle. He had used '[...]' more liberally than any other author I've ever come across. The quotes ended up being like the Homer Simpson's interview from S06E09:

To do work is what they are paid for.

To solve the problem which an organization was created to solve means to show that the organization is no longer needed. But this means no more work to be paid for!
> It is also worth stating that the US set the precedent [in post-Cold War era - Edit] for complete disregard of international (and even US) law for own benefit. Some examples include:

Wow that is amazing considering the history of the country you're attempting to support here. None of this is a precedent, the Russians/USSR did it all way before any of this even happened.

> Curiously, it was the US support for Syrian head-chopping Islamic freedom fighters that Putin said was the final straw for tolerating US unilateralism.

I think you will find that it was Putins ambitions for imperialism that was the final straw in Putins actions.
What does he mean by "enemy blocking"?
If someone is using Reddit just for scrolling endless feeds, I would say that they have no strong ideological foundations to quit the platform based on the API changes. Unless they think that official app is really useless.
1. Assumes everyone sues.

2. Assumes everyone gets paid in full.

3. You can use the cash for other things. It is actually extremely common to pay suppliers late. My family used to be in the food production business and grocers routinely just didn't pay or changed payment terms until you hassled them sufficiently, as then they could have more cash on hand for other things, collect interest, etc. https://archive.is/0Rxap

So say that Twitter is having cashflow problems. You can just kick the can down the road by not paying bills and plenty of suppliers will take it, thinking they have no choice. By doing this, they can borrow for free.

Another good article on this: https://www.wsj.com/articles/delaying-payments-to-suppliers-...
One dark issue here is that you can surely let yourself to be immature towards the age of 35, but for women it becomes progressively harder to have children after this point. Males have it easier, but if you plan to have a "normative" family with small age gap between spouses, these problems are also yours. Quality of the offspring also suffers somewhat, though this may be offset by superior medicine and post-natal care.

That, or exchange a prolonged youth for having effectively no adulthood, while also moving your society in unsustainable mode*

So our social behavior no longer matches our biology, in which by a quirk we (at least women) are only fertile for around 1/4 of our total life, and less than that in socially acceptable fashion.

* Caveat emptor, perhaps it would be great if we could deflate population of most countries by having low birth rate for a while, but this is not what we are good at - instead, countries seem to race into hyperurbanization and population replacement
That could be a reason behind the resurgence of board gaming as a leisure pursuit - an engaging game combined with a rewarding social group.
Pythagorean triples exist for natural numbers, but other exotic number sets lack them.

For example, integers modulo 3: the square of both 1 and 2 is 1, so the sum of two nonzero squares is always 1 + 1 = 2, which is not a square.

Looking for infinite number sets without Pythagorean triples should be fun.
You think that the concept of western decadence is Russian propaganda from the last five years?
It's reasonable. You have "true nvim" managing the buffer. Most plugins will work and it sets a `g:vscode` or whatever variable so you can conditionally enable bits of your config.

Its better than any vim emulation mode that's for sure.
> Black tea is a good aid for sustaining my focus. It improves focus, but doesn't create the same stress on my body.

Black tea contains 30–90 mg of caffeine per cup (and some theobromine and theophylline, which are similar to caffeine, and also stimulants.) Giving up coffee because of the caffeine but dinking black tea instead is self-defeating.
Yes.

Cloud prices are very competitive, you can get 2x RTX 3090 located in Canada for $0.31 or so - here in Germany the cost for the electricity would be higher than that (0.36€ * 0.9 kW = 0.315€).
I don't understand that aspect though, anyone can report something to the police?

> But the idea that we should produce the absolute minimal thing at every stage – whatever is needed to push the company’s commercial goals forward

In my interpretation, the purpose of rapid iterations is to validate/de-risk hypotheses. In some cases (most of the ones I've worked on), it's ALSO a useful way to ship, because for many use-cases, people are pretty tolerant of shit software. But I think there's an implicit/accidental conflation of iterate-to-learn / iterate-to-build / iterate-to-ship. The difference between them being the end audience after each minor iteration. (respectively: myself / my team-mates / my customers)
More strikingly, Chinese universities absolutely dominate Chemistry: https://www.nature.com/nature-index/institution-outputs/gene...

By my count, 18/20 top universities for chemistry research is in China. The first US university in chemistry is MIT at 23.

It makes sense to me. The top students in the US are disproportionately Chinese. China has 1.4 billion Chinese people.

{ and } pollute your location list! So your C-o will also jump through points where you pressed them. Also, for terse (whitespace-wise) codebases, they become useless. I used to use them a lot but now I use C-u/C-d for most vertical movement (and {} in those super rare cases where whitespace is just right).

To move horizontally, simple 'f' might be faster quite often (some prefer combining it with leap-like plugins like flit if using nvim).
Ha ha ha, you're probably right, I came across as an entitled teenager.

But seriously though, taxonomies are part of the whole science enterprise. Unless we formulate hypothesis that can be used to predict new phenomena, we're missing out. Or just cargo culting.
Ask HN: Does steep decline in CPU and GPU sales mean PC gaming is in decline?
“Desktop GPU sales are down almost 40% year-to-year CPU shipments also took a hefty dip.”

https://www.pcworld.com/article/1947496/oof-desktop-gpu-sales-are-down-almost-40-percent-year-to-year.html

Does this mean PC gaming is in decline. Does it mean consoles are becoming more popular?
It probably has something to do with engaging in activities that promote higher-order analysis and meta-thought. Older adults are usually capable of this; younger kids would struggle.

Consider the way you are “supposed to” watch an episode of Thomas the Tank Engine versus Better Call Saul. Both are fun for their respective age groups.

If you watch the former in the form the latter, you start to see moires that probably escaped the writers (1).

You could have skipped reading entirely; it's conspiracy clickbait. To the puzzle-solving mind, an anomalous clue is the unicorn you spend your whole life chasing. There is a well-known conspiracy community around covid. It follows that this is trying to harvest a couple thousand in revenue by baiting people who are playing with covid conspiracies, by enticing them with the false promise of an anomalous clue.

I hope the author is reading these comments and sees me calling him a piece of shit.
When it comes for difference between teen and adult entertainment, the line seems to be pretty arbitrary. E.g. it has been perfectly fine for an adult to enjoy crime fiction or watch football, while it doesn't require a lot of maturity or sophistication, and teens would enjoy the same activities too. Somehow we never got a significant market of computer games for adults though - maybe because adults don't care as much as before about appearing mature.
It's also just called tempest, it's mostly a nsa thing. They can eavesdrop on crypto from across the street, well that was in the 50s, thats what we learned about 40 years later, god only knows what they can do today.

“During discovery they obtained a seven-page document signed by executives from Utility and 10 other semitrailer companies. The document, drafted in 2004, was a pact struck by the biggest companies in the business, a pledge to work cooperatively — and secretly — to thwart any lawsuits stemming from side and rear underride crashes. The arrangement had been orchestrated by Glen Darbyshire, an attorney for the TTMA, the trade group.

As part of the agreement, the firms would keep crucial safety information confidential. That material — including ‘documents, factual material, mental impressions, interview reports, expert reports, and other information’ — wasn’t to be shared with anyone outside of the circle.”

This…sounds like someone took notes on their criminal conspiracy.

Has any prosecutor said they’re looking at this?
Proving and Disproving Equivalence of Functional Programming Assignments
Best trick I have found so far: You "tie" the thing you want to do to a thing that you already do in a way that makes doing what you want to do as effortless as possible.

In my case, I always throw my trash in sports clothes.

I need to take trash out. I also need to change clothes when I go out, because I work remote. So just choosing sport clothing instead of something else is very frictionless.

Once the trash is thrown, I'm out not he street, with my sport shoes on. I just need to start running at that point.

Comparatively, just "purposely going for a run" feels like climbing a mountain.
Something that would be interesting to compare and contrast is actually using your own hardware to host the service(s). Servers are super-reliable these days, it doesn't feel like a huge step from the VPS approach to simply have a bunch of them.

At least one tradeoff is that you'd have to be physically in a location with adequate bandwidth / latency but for various use cases it might be very cost effective during some phase of the startup.

I wonder also how the AI induced focus on specialized hardware might change the calculus

All good points, thank you - your distinction between iterate-to-build vs iterate-to-ship is an important one, and something that was in the back of my mind when I was writing. I actually had a section on Stripe that argued that Stripe "do one thing extremely well" rather than "do lots of things poorly", but it didn't have a clear instance of a major technological breakthrough, so I cut it.

The goal here was not to argue that one OUGHT to take ages to ship - I hope I made that clear in the final section – but that there are certain types of ambitious technological visions that NEED a lot of technically risky work to achieve. And so many people shy away from these visions because they feel like they need to ship immediately!

Your site is low-quality (looks like copy/pasted content without anything backing it up, you can't even do something as simple as reference the sites you copied the content from, not to mention not linking to any sources within the articles themselves), and while submitting your own articles is fine, the etiquette of this site is that it isn't the only thing you do.
