Underlying causes could be: incredibly easy access to guns, and, a lack of a social services. Compared to peer countries for both causes the US is wildly on the edge. I live in Canada, which is about as close as you can get to the US in any number of ways, and I don’t know anyone who has been a victim of gun violence here. Not true for my American friends (at least two students died in shootings in the high school I went to in the US, one of them was a mentally challenged student shot by a cop).

In all honesty, both types of shootings pose relatively small risks to the American public compared to, say, traffic violence, but that’s no reason to ignore a problem that has largely been solved in other developed countries.
Wouldn't it be possible, if the Navy program were too secret, that they had no counterpart in the Coast Guard cleared for it?
Look at all the fascinating runtimes that have evolved. Erlang, Haskell, Go, Rust, and include any other. You don’t consider any of these evolution? Back then, programmers were still using threads for everything. Now we have “green threads”. One example of a pretty great evolution. Albeit it does feel like software evolves slower than hardware.
Happy user of your app. Works great. Thanks for documenting all the process. It’s really insightful
Some Captcha schemes have been broken. Some haven't. This has been i believe.

Yeah, it's obvious - just have a user setting: "Join voice channels without confirmation". Requiring confirmation should be the default, to prevent users from accidentally joining.
Cool, I was wondering if there were any similar health concerns I wasn't thinking of with the comment. Not that eating popcorn is exactly a healthy choice. I've been looking into alternative popcorn popping ideas and friends have given great reviews (and great samples over the years :) ) of the whirlypop so I've been considering that along with an airpopper.

I'll give that paper bag trick a try sometime, thanks!
Gonna start telling people I’m actually intelligent when they say I’m slow from now on
Stovetop is super easy - saucepan, some kernels, some oil, put the lid on. Low to medium heat til popping stops. Add some salt.

Also incredibly cheap.
Who are most culpable for the decades of profiteering, coverup, and disinformation propaganda campaign of extractive industries that contribute the most to climate change? It's not you or I but the extremely wealthy. It seems more that you're white knighting for a phony "victim" class who should be both in prison and sued to recover damages they've wrought.
I'm sure it's considered problematic now for various reasons (maybe it always was), but Polanski's Macbeth still holds up for me. Jon Finch (Macbeth) and Terence Bayler (Macduff) were great.
That page is filled with 1 death shootings. That’s not a mass casualty incident.
Lol "Code available soon...forever" is a meme at this point.
> Do you think that gang violence and what we traditionally call “mass shootings”

Hold on a second here. The FBI definition of mass shooting has always been the same, and gang violence meeting that standard (four or more casualties) has always been considered a mass shooting. Years of media only ever using the term “mass shooting” when it involves a school ambush scenario has distorted, in your mind (and many other people, frankly) what the term actually represents. The problem with this is that people draw a false association when they hear statistics about how there’s “x00 mass shootings” every year —- your mind instantly thinks that there’s x00 Columbine-level assaults on schools every year when in fact it’s more like 10 school shootings and the rest of the several hundred are the kinds of shootings that happen in Chicago and other places every other week.

> have the same underlying causes

The popular opinion is that easy access to guns is the only reason, so yeah apparently.

> and represent a similar level of risk to the public?

Again, see the earlier point about how people hear “mass shooting” and can’t conceive of any way in which a “mass shooting” doesn’t involve someone randomly shooting up a school or workplace. There are indeed a lot of mass shootings every year, but the majority of them _don’t_ involve the sort of crazy lone-gunman-shooting-up-a-school scenario that people _think_ are the majority of mass shootings. The majority of them are in fact gang violence. As far as threat to the public? Depends how likely you are to be somewhere that gang violence might occur —- and those areas aren’t as isolated as people like to think.
> Since GPUs are good at drawing 3D scenes, and since 3D scenes seem “more complicated” than 2D scenes, it may feel like a natural conclusion that GPUs should handle 2D trivially. They do not.

While not trivial, nanovg shows that it can be done reasonably well. At least well enough for a GUI. Thankfully a GUI doesn't need a very advanced 2D rendering engine (see Dear Imgui or egui). Vector art apps can write their own engines.
The round: parameter demo appears broken.
None. Just like my obligation to buy one.
What was the application? So interesting.
buying a car has never been easier. look at openpilot cars with good torque and steer to zero. pick one you like, and buy the base trim.

I need to double-check this, but I’m pretty sure it does have an overlay-type capability through West. Definitely does on the devicetree side, but I’m pretty sure it does on the Kconfig side too.
I'm no PRNG expert but xoroshiro seems to fail a lot of statistical tests. It might be faster but it seems to be very deeply flawed.

And what do you mean what's with the big social media push?
This is good advise. A lot of devs, or techies in general, often live in a bubble,so end up thinking that if their standard dev shop has all the integrations, automations,and whatnot,so it should be the same everywhere else too. It blows my mind when see businesses operate in a way as it was 1900. I still remember how I told a business owner with 50 people or so how they could use shared mailbox in the operations, so it's easier to pickup the inbound emails as multiple people work on it.. It was as I just showed the path to enlightenment. However, it's difficult to see these problems when you are an outsider,so my advice is to go out and speak with many people who work in different sectors and face very different problems than an average HN reader.
IMO it's a big mistake that the RJ45 adapter sticks out, because the laptop is not thick enough... There is no good reason for that.. also, I'd like batteries with cylindrical cells.
That's funny, I read that book before I worked on PKI directly. Maybe I should read it again now that I have more detailed experience (and maybe be frustrated by the implausibility that you mention!).
I mean, the study states clearly that the PFAS are in the "food contact materials" in question, here, which are the microwave popcorn bags. Then they end up in the people. Kind of open and shut.
Rough estimates, but at that depth, it’s around 450 atmospheres of pressure, or around 6,500 lbs per square inch. Pretty much instantaneous.
You were probably being ironic, but you're right. I've never found someone more interesting due to abstinence.
Thanks for making this!
I used it before and it is very good.
Can recommend it for everyone who needs slick js animations.
It's the bag.
It’s not a mass shooting when it’s 1 death and 3 injuries between groups of people actively hostile to each other.

It’s like calling it a mass shooting when police shoot bank robbers brandishing firearms and kill just one of them.

> They are also widely used in paper products meant to hold foods that are hot, gooey or greasy. That includes the wrappers that hold fast food, and, as you noted in your letter, microwave popcorn bags.

It's on the paper.
I mean... no, it's not that bad. Working around retained-mode UI patterns in declarative UI is a fairly well explored problem.

The real issue, in my opinion - as someone who's worked in a litany of UI systems and built my own UI frameworks and libraries: it's a lot of frankly boring as shit work that everyone gets into and then drops like a rock once the dopamine rush of implementing basic widgets wears off.

(Then you add on that the number of people who know the big three (Cocoa/Win-whatever-they-use-now/GTK-or-QT) really well is a much smaller pool)
> This reusable thing doesn’t make a bit of sense to me either. Do you really want to be using a 10 year old chassis with new parts?

The chassis is replacable. You simply order a new chassis, pop the main board out of the old chassis and put it into the new one.

Please reconsider your use of the phrase "the public".

A huge proportion of the victims of violent crime in the US (these victims are dramatically more likely to be black) are not in gangs, and mostly just live in poor neighborhoods and get caught up or accidentally shot. See the book "Ghettoside" for details in this.

Actually for many years the idea that "murder victims in the inner city are just gang members" was used to deprioritize investigations there, which has led to the current high crime in those areas - i.e. very low clearance rate, people rationally feeling that the police won't protect them, so they have to protect themselves.

Allowing lawlessness there (by not counting them as regular people and regular victims would be counted) has just resulted in a chaotic and unsafe environment for people there, which perpetuates the problem.

Take a look at this list of recent killings in LA. https://homicide.latimes.com/ by the author of Ghettoside. Far from a SJW/"Racism is the cause" it's a very reasonable, infrastructure-based understanding of why the problem exists and persists, from the left, with empathy.
Before the N4 there is no question, read page 12 (first paragraph) and 13 (first paragraph):
https://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/index2.php?url=http%3A%2F%...

The N4 double containment is a mainly quantitative change, as are all the other changes you mentioned: the very architecture remains the same, as do the associated exploitation processes.

Those modifications were big enough to justify seeing the N4 as a "new design" because the French worked hard to master this design, and since 1981 (Nuclear Technical Cooperation Agreement, NTCA) Westinghouse & the French formally exchanged know-how. Moreover Westinghouse didn't work on the N4 and it escaped the Westinghouse license (which expired in 1992). However the very design isn't disruptive.
As for this approach efficiency the note #17 seems pertinent.

The newest design ('EPR') also is a mere evolution, as officially stated:

Have you considered a different university? Somewhere where the cost of living is more in line with the salary?

The big advantage of academia I general is in how much free time you have. Classes are more-or-less only 6 months of the year, and there's very little prep work from year 2. Even 4 classes a day is only like half the day.

In the business world you're looking at min of 40 hours a week (much, much more if you're scrabbling for income), maybe a couple weeks vacation a year (in which, trust me, the last thing you'll want yo do is research.)

Sounds to me like you're already in a perfect gig for doing what you want to do, you just need to figure out how to make it work for you.

Or switch to the next best thing, research + teaching.
In the realm of the sea where no light dares to tread,
An iron giant named Titan its journey had led,
Built to traverse the blue deep, a mission clear,
To explore the Titanic's ghost, obscured by fear.

Titan, oh Titan, the sea's most stalwart knight,
Bathed in cold silence, yearning for daylight,
A sub of sturdy steel and human determination,
Set forth to reveal the past's doomed creation.

A journey steeped in echoes, through waters unknown,
Into the abyss, where sun's grace is never shown.
Titan searched for the Titanic, a ghost in the haze,
Through the endless night, in a chilling ballet's craze.

Beneath the waves, where pressure sways like the titan's fist,
Where the sea's lament whispers a chilling tryst,
The skeletal Titanic sleeps, in a shroud of mystery,
A timeless tale of man's hubris and history.

Titan neared its quest's end, the Titanic in sight,
A monolith of memory, veiled in the eternal night.
But the sea's cruel clasp tightened, a relentless grip,
As the ghost ship waited in stoic fellowship.

A sound then shattered the silence, a mournful sigh,
Titan under the pressure, its limits defy.
Its hull creaked, it shivered, it began to groan,
And in the darkness, Titan was suddenly alone.

In its quest for discovery, to the abyss, it fell,
Imploded in silence, no one to bid farewell.
Titan and Titanic, now silent together,
A testament to humanity's reach and tether.

Two steel giants resting deep below the foam,
Far from the surface light, far from home.
The Titan's tale echoes through the seafarer's lore,
A lesson from the deep, from the ocean floor.

A tale of two Titans, of steel and cold precision,
Both met their end in a haunting collision.
Under the crushing sea, they found their tomb,
In the silent world, where no roses bloom.

Their names will echo, in the salt-tinged spray,
Titan and Titanic, forever bound in a tragic ballet.
A dance in the deep, where light has no reign,
In the realm of the sea, where triumph and tragedy reign.

I use clarified butter instead of oil so that the popcorn soaks it in immediately after popping.

Every time I take a bite, it’s like a buttery explosion.

I recommend taking it off heat for 30 seconds after adding all the kernels so they all heat up to an even temperature and roast a little in the butter. Use a screen to cover the pot rather than a lid so that steam can escape and your popcorn stays crunchy.
It's terrible, IMO, because every package that has generic words is now a variable name I can't use. A simple example which i find unreasonable:

package main

import (
"fmt"
"path/filepath"
)

func main() {
filepath := filepath.Dir("./")
//filepath.Dir('./") -> This is now a string. Can't use filepath package anymore
fmt.Println(filepath)
}

Now I have to make up variable names because `filepath` will shadow the package. How it this sensible in any shape? Zip just does this better by having @ in front of builtins.
Yeah, you would use XMPP for this kinda thing.

That’s a really scary straw man you’ve painted. Do you have access to the minutes from the meetings of the “extremely wealthy” where they all unanimously vote to do these evil things?

Or maybe is it that you’re just classist to avoid any inward criticism?
In fact the breakthroughs in decipherment, as well as all significant anthropological findings, have been thanks to the work of His Excellency, Fray Diego de Landa, OFM, who has been unjustly accused as a "monster", but despite his burning of all their codices, 'his work in documenting and researching the Maya was indispensable in achieving the current understanding of their culture, to the degree that one scholar asserted that, "ninety-nine percent of what we today know of the Mayas, we know as the result either of what Landa has told us in the pages that follow, or have learned in the use and study of what he told."'

Ah yeah, that's true, last commit to that file was actually on Apr 19th 2022.. https://github.com/revoltchat/documentation/commits/master/d...

I imagine freezing is the less problematic side. You can probably dump it in liquid nitrogen (exaggeration, but you get my point). But you can't heat it fast (enough) because the extreme heat would burn/vaporize the exterior while the inside is still cold.
This is reassuring. My wife's family has a hyper-rare form of mostly-harmless DMD -- like, every genetic test says my father in law has DMD but he's a healthy octogenarian when most sufferers never saw 30. But it means I always worry about mys son and nephews that may have the gene.
I'm sure it is, but a scammer or hacker committing a crime is most likely not going to report this. They would certainly get in trouble too.
The US unfortunately has intentionally vaguely written laws about misusing computer systems which can be interpreted to punish hackers and pentesters pretty harshly.
The problem is that in the real world you can have more than one conversation in a space. With a group call/channel you get exactly one conversation or a bunch of people yelling over each other.

You could probably make that work in VC but the UX is going to be awkward and un-intuitive no matter how you slice it.

So the best option (online/available status and 1:1 calls which is what we have now) is probably the best alternative.
Saying cannabis is safer than caffeine simply reveals your personal biases.

Cannabis is less harmful than alcohol but its users dramatically underplay its side effects. Caffeine is only bad for sleep, or in extreme doses.
I do this too. I also use a food scale to weigh out the popcorn within about a gram. I figured out the number of seconds required, so I no longer have to listen.

The process is surprisingly reproducible. I get very few unpopped kernels, usually around 5 of them.
No internet, no cell phones. Just people being people, living in the moment.

I've always loved using a (simulated) Mellotron when making music, without being consciously clued in to which songs first got me hooked on it, but you've just made me realise it was Dinosaur Jr, not Strawberry Fields Forever. Thanks!
There's an element of practice too. Ideally, you want a very thin layer of oil to cover the base, or maybe even less. It doesn't need to be a lot. Also an average saucepan would produce quite a lot popcorn

To prevent burning, shaking and occasionally lifting off the hob is required. Also not adding too much corn helps a lot. The maximum a saucepan can take is when the entire base is covered with them.
No surprise. The intelligence apparatus uses illegally intercepted data to report crimes to law enforcement who then find parallel constructions to avoid disclosure of intelligence sources and methods. Now we're entering the territory of precrime and making accusations based on correlation and AI rather than evidence, but with a commercial interest akin to for-profit prisons.
I know someone who didn't. Let's just say it wasn't pretty in the kitchen afterwards:)

Interesting. I've always hypothesized the opposite: IQ is basically the same as working memory.

If you do a quick search for "IQ vs working memory", all the results show a positive correlation.

On the other hand, if my hypothesis was true, we would have discovered it already, so it's probably wrong.
> But the sea's cruel clasp tightened

I appreciate the imagery but you’re in danger of over romanticising the reality: the sea wasn’t cruel. It is nature. The reason this happened, much like with the Titanic, was human hubris.
Best popcorn you can make is cheap and easy cleanup.

Take one large pot (the kind that holds like 10qts).

Cover the bottom with kernels.

Add a bit of oil, basically just enough to swirl and have everything covered in an oil sheen, not enough to have them submerged.

Cover, put on high (I use gas). I like to suspend a paper towel between the lid and the rest of the pot, absorbs excess oil and water.

Once popping slows, turn off the stove. Dump popcorn into large mixing bowl.

Toss 1/8 cup butter in the hot pot, melt the butter with residual heat.

Pour popcorn back in and toss to get the popcorn evenly lightly buttered, transfer back to the mixing bowl.

Salt(I prefer a salt grinder) and toss, add a bit of grated Parmesan and toss.

There should be less than 10 unpopped kernels, no burned popcorn at all.

Cleanup is a wipe down of the large pot with the moisture capture paper towel.
Best method.

After going out of my way to avoid Reddit for a few days, I was shocked at how little I actually needed the site in my life.

Traditional forums and Discord work great at replacing the niche subreddits, but what I was surprised by was how easy it was to find replacements for the large low-effort content aggregation bits of Reddit as well. It used to be a joke that other sites would steal what was hot on Reddit and repost it, but it's only now that I have a full appreciation of how disposable and easy-to-leech that sort of content truly is - there are so many other places to find that kind of content it's kind of ridiculous.

The only thing I actually miss from Reddit are the long tail of technical content aggregation subreddits - places like /r/cpp and /r/Python. But I suspect those will be fine on the fediverse.
Very cool, thanks for sharing. I like this reporting approach, once you have the usage data aggregated somewhere a state machine is a great way to report usage to Stripe. Do you trigger the Inngest billing fan out end of the month CRON style or when Stripe changes billing period and triggers a webhook to Inngest?
I can understand that, if the reporter is not aware that the information is secret. But clearly they do know this is a "top secret" system, it's in the headline, so I'd assume the plausible deniability excuse doesn't apply.
To be fair the library name may be based on Japanese usage, where the term just means anything animated (including all the works you mentioned).
