> … obviously police and ambulances (and fire trucks) doing their jobs don't have to follow the sign.

They are indeed violating the rule. Whether that rule is enforced against emergency vehicles is considered by the enforcing agent. I believe most people in that position would allow the emergency vehicles to do their jobs without citing them for violating the rule.

But they’re still violating it.
I have noticed that my Android phone app, Google Voice, and other communications apps that I use make it difficult or impossible to record a conversation in progress. Now in my jurisdiction, it is legal for me to record any conversation with one-party consent, and that party is me.

So I often use a third-party voice recorder app to record real-life situations such as medical interactions. (Don't ever tell the provider you're making recordings because they hate that. An urgent care nurse told me it was a HIPAA violation. That is rich: how could I violate my own HIPAA privacy with a personal recording?)

But I can't ever record phone conversations, unless I use the analog hole. My voice-recording app only records silence when system audio is used. Is this because of the patchwork of legality? Are phone developers reluctant to enable a feature that may be illegal in some jurisdictions? What's the best way to manage this?
Nice explanation!

Although I’m surprised there is no mention of the best solution for iterating both keys and values:

for (const [key, val] of Object.entries(obj)) {
console.log(key, val)
}

Nuclear genocide != nuclear suicide. Russian people started the war. Majority of Russians support war with Ukraine even today, with hope that they kill all Ukrainians and occupy their territory, to show their power to Rotten West. They sad that their leader is too weak to nuke Washington and London.

So did the other species mentioned.
Florence was a financial and trading center of Europe during the Renaissance when Thomas Cromwell travelled there. That economic power and probably that cosmopolitan atmosphere were what lay the ground for cultural development, specifically for the resurgence in arts and in scientific thinking.

Even with the internet we see that artistic and scientific output is uneven across the world. There are places where ideas thrive more than in others. For example, if you contribute to the research frontier in physics, chemistry, or computer science, you are very likely to be located in one of the few centers of thinking in your field.
Bombing Russian cities like Rostov or possibly Voronezh is one of the most stupid moves Putin could make.
All of your carefully curated and collected data could also be thrown out easily without a clear chain of custody, such as immediate upload in such a way that the data could not be modified and accurately timestamped. Such datastore would need to never have a data. breach or later platform flaw that would break the chain of custody.

Sleep data, etc would need to come from a certified device with possible calibration, just as people get out of traffic tickets by uncalibrated radar equipment by police. Also, just about all commercially available devices to track sleep aren't 100% accurate. GPS isn't 100% accurate and can be spoofed externally, etc.

You'd also have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the voice wasn't AI generated, that it's your voice and so on and so on.

If one has to be this paranoid, it's likely the amount of pinholes and effort you'd have to jump through for the data to be accepted in court at all is gonna be a real pain.
Strunk & White doesn't really cover grammar if I recall.

I like The Bedford Handbook by Diana Hacker. I had to buy it for a course in college, and I've found it to be a helpful reference for grammar rules. The explanations are clear, and there are helpful examples for each concept.
That video is so bizarre. Prigozhin is going way beyond the "2014 status-quo was good to protect Donbass Russian-speakers but 2022 invasion was a mistake" story that's common in Russian anti-war campaigners and actually denouncing the last decade of Russian military incursions, of which he was a major player.

What is he even trying to do?

There's no chance of an actual coup without support from the people or the army, and he's hated by both. His usual dramatic requests for more money and equipment won't work if the first thing you do is denounce the War, and nobody with morality or a conscience would have become the head of a Russian paramilitary group.

I'm as confused as anyone reading this. Is all of this an extremely risky bet to get strategic control of the Russian army? In that case it seems to have failed spectacularly.
Replicators were always described as being energy hungry. In some instances slave labour was “cheaper”. In other instances they used the “this material cannot be replicated” loophole. Such as the drug that the Dominion were addicted to.
> prohibits "unfriendliness"

You’re inverting what is written in the CoC and reporting that here. The CoC does not prohibit unfriendliness.

I am guessing that the reason “be friendly and patient” is in the CoC is because projects like GCC are having trouble attracting new maintainers. As far as I can tell, the project is in trouble—for a long time, GCC was the only game in town, and now that people could just as easily decide to contribute to LLVM/Clang instead, GCC needs to take some effort to make sure that it still has maintainers long-term.

The idea that a CoC “not needed” doesn’t seem credible, I think you’d need to provide some kind of reasoning to support that argument. You haven’t provided any reasoning besides “GCC existed for 30 years without one”, and that argument doesn’t make any logical sense. The landscape has changed, there are competitors (LLVM), and some of GCC’s previous decisions at the highest level have made it somewhat hostile to contributors—something which the project can no longer afford to do.

> allows anti-GPL companies (see latest RHEL upstream source portal incident) running the steering committee to decide what the vague language actually means without disclosing what financial interests are behind the decisions to shut down discussions.

This seems like an unreasonable and invalid complaint to me. It hypothesizes that the CoC will be wielded as a weapon to achieve some kind of “anti-GPL” corporate goals, or something to that effect.

If anything, I’ve only seen, in the GCC project, “pro-GPL” abuses, where Stallman has directed GCC developers to make technical decisions not based on technical merits, but based on the desire of Stallman to advance the FSF’s pro-GPL goals politically. I’m talking about stuff like having a serializable IR here—technical decisions which make a lot of sense, but which the politics of GCC quashed in order to support the pro-GPL mission.

And here LLVM is, with its serializable IR, and pro-corporate licensing scheme, taking away mindshare from GCC.

The CoC is not really a pro-corporate tool any more than it is a pro-GPL tool. It is a tool for fixing problems in a community, and the GCC project needs to put a lot of thought and care into how it runs its community, because the long-term viability of that community is now in jeopardy. The CoC is there to improve the community—and if you think CoCs should have more detail, that’s something that can be fixed over time—rules tend to get more detailed as they are modified and updated.

> but the obvious intent of the sign couldn't be clearer

There is no sign. Nowhere in the question does it mention a sign.

What the question does say, however, is this: "please answer the question of whether the rule is violated (not whether the violation should be allowed)."

Which is pretty much the opposite of what you conclude.

Interesting.
Yes indeed. “In a justifiable emergency, X breaks the rules — does this break the rules?” Is a very clear “yes”. It doesn’t ask whether X should be punished for breaking them.
The problem has nothing to do with objects. The problem is, how do you type check something like sprintf without ad hoc type rules?
The first day of my first course in Biology was about Quantum Chemistry. (The last course of that year was on global ecology. Biology is a rather wide field!)

Quantum effects really do have something to do with it, (and from there on organic chemistry, organelles, and cell biology) but it seems to me that describing human behavior in terms of quantum interactions might be somewhat tedious, to say the least.

Probably looking at the level of neural networks would be more pragmatic, especially seeing the advances we're now making with artificial neural networks.

An audio file being checked into a block in a blockchain doesn’t prove an interaction happened at that time, it only proves an audio file was checked into a block at that time.

Yes, because once you get there, you learn that "Chinese Food" outside of China is generally a collection of different cuisines sanitised for the local palette. There's no such thing as real Chinese food; China is enormous and full of a wide range of cultures and cuisines. While we're on the subject, there isn't one Chinese language either...
NuttX seems to have a stronger mandate to be POSIXy than many other RTOSes and includes a shell that's similar to a unix shell. Where the interface and "shell" for other RTOSes is often more unique and doesn't have as much of a unix feel. So it might be a more comfortable transition, though I'm sure that approach has it's drawbacks also.
That's actually a great comparison. Tesla spends tons of cash boasting about their cars' level of automation.

Show HN: Fast notion database entries with offline support
Notion is great for saving all sorts of data but I always found it’s app to be slow and hard to navigate when all I really want is to quickly add an entry to one of my databases. So I created an app that connects with Notion databases and lets you create custom entry forms for all sorts of workflows. These forms can be easily launched via the app or home/lock screen widgets for quick and fast database entries. Another great feature is it works offline! The app will automatically sync any added entries when an internet connection is restored

I just launched on the AppStore and hoping to add more features soon such as Siri and Shortcut capabilities. Also open to putting together an Android app if there is interest

Would love to get some feedback

I find the concept of learning colemak very intriguing. The qwerty layout is just so strange in some aspects. But the problem is that for my career (hospital medicine) I'm going to need to use random computers all the time. There's just no way to reliably use colemak. I talked to my hospital IT about whether they could attach an alternative layout to my account but it just wasn't in the cards.

In my office I have a moonlander where I use Qwerty but with home row mods which I think are great. But it always takes me a second to readjust back. I don't think I would enjoy going between colemak and qwerty on top of that.
>"Sure. Go live on the moon then"

>"you thus have obligations to that society"

And I fulfill said obligations by abiding laws (even though I find many unjust) and by paying taxes. I also try not to interfere with other people and not "trespass" into their space. But I have zero duty to follow demands of prudes, lunatics, "strong hand" wishers etc.

> In it's core this war is NATO against Russia.

No, in its core it is a war of Putin and like minded nationalists longing after Great Russia against the Ukrainian people and their right to exist as an independent country, not being slaves like Lukashenko's Belarus. The whole Europe is helping because they know Putin's victory in Ukraine would mean an existential threat to other territories. And most people just want to live in peace.

We definitely need something like this. Not sure if this is it, as I, like the author, am not a lawyer. I'd need technology lawyers to analyze it for me. So although it doesn't add anything substantive to the HN discussion, I'd like to voice my approval for any efforts made towards a strong license in this spirit.
It might be a problem, but it is also an inescapable part of the human condition because, at the end of the day, rules are imaginary and all that really exist are human actions. It is pretty hopeless to complain about rules from this point of view.

Assumption of intent is critical to pretty much all social functioning. In this particular case, I think its outrageously reasonable to assume that if some unusual circumstance were to prevail in the park relevant to the definition of vehicle, the sign would explicitly indicate it. And that, without further clarification, the obvious answer is the one intended.
Yeah, the bit that's bad world-building is that they have these terrible values which are repeatedly shown not to work, and yet simultaneously they have a successful interstellar civilization.
In what way is that conclusion different? I argue that a strict moderation policy and enforcement is needed to keep a community healthy, even if that leads to the exclusion of a few posts/users that would have been good for the community.

Is that not exactly what you are saying?

Sidenote: Does the presence of an ambulance not qualify as a "true emergency" for you? In my experience an ambulance only shows up if someone needs acute medical attention. Is that not the case where you live?
The whole debate over what is and isn't conscious is foolish, if you ask me. It's essentially a proxy for what does and does not deserve ethical consideration. In that regard our desire to exploit the universe around us without consideration will bias our reasoning considerably. The debate around ML models that you are referencing is illustrative of this.

The much harder ethical quandary is how we should operate in a universe where we are not specially privileged, and as a species I think we are generally unwilling to consider such a thing.
> To me, the answer to all of the questions was crystal-clear.

One of the points of the exercise is that there is broad spread (though far from a uniform distribution) of responses, so the fact that the correct answers are clear to you only goes so far.

It might be interesting to see how additional statements about intent would affect the distribution (though to the extent that the statements of intent take the form of lists of determinations in each special case, the interesting outcome would be the distribution continuing to be broad.)
I got myself an ortholinear split keyboard (moonlander). I used to get some wrist pain every now and then but the biggest game changers were switching escape with caps lock. The great thing about the moonlander is that I have backspace, enter , delete and space on my thumbs instead of my pinkies (not including space obviously) and I have to say that when I am in the zone, it is noticeably more comfortable.

When I first got it I was ready to return it after a week. I must have been typing around 10wpm at the beginning. I'm not back to around 80-90. Was it worth it? I think so, the macros and multiple layers are nice but I don't use them a ton. The ability to really relax my shoulders has certainly helped reduce some of the neck pain I experience but after tons of working out and strengthening at the recommendations of physio I imagine my personal issues with neck pain are more manifestations of minor anxiety than physical deficiencies with posture.

I recognise that's not the point of this article but I just thought to mention that it doesn't magically fix everything. But it does make long sessions more enjoyable and comfortable.

Show HN: Automatically assemble Windows Sysroots directly from Microsoft
winsysroot is a tool which automatically and efficiently creates what is effectively a "sysroot" for Windows targets, allowing you to (cross)-compile against native Microsoft sources from any operating system and for any architecture supported by Microsoft.

It also takes care of the case-sensitivity problem of the Windows SDK by automatically generating LLVM overlay specifications. It is written in pure cross-platform Go and is extremely fast it tries very hard to download the absolute minimum number of files to achive its goals. It pulls all data directly from Microsoft to avoid any legal issues (but you aren't allowed to distribute the resulting sysroots without explicit permission by Microsoft).

Just wondering why announce a coup attempt sitting so far away from the capital? It feels like a suicide run...unless he has supporters in Moscow. But even then it seems a bit nuts launching it from so far away from the power center.
Putin gave the order to put down Wagner. How can they possibly do that without resorting to shelling the city to rubble? That's the only way Russia has been able to advance in Ukraine, just backing off and shelling towns to dust and then creeping in and, just barely, mopping things up.
According to the docs[0] you can't declare a go version in the main module or workspace that is lower then the go version of one of your dependencies.

A module’s go line must declare a version greater than or equal to the go version declared by each of the
modules listed in require statements. A workspace’s go line must declare a version greater than or equal
to the go version declared by each of the modules listed in use statements.

For example, if module M requires a dependency D with a go.mod that declares go 1.22.0, then M’s go.mod
cannot say go 1.21.3.

so the "go" directive is like "rust-version" in Cargo.toml and the "toolchain" directive is like the rust version in a rust-toolchain file.

If your goal is to be simpler, and also more powerful, could you write down what that means?

If your goal is to just poke around without a plan, or to just copy features without a unifying vision, it seems unlikely it ends up simpler or more powerful than anki.

As far as I can tell, there's no vision written down anywhere, no list of things other systems got wrong but you'll get right, no insight into what needs to be done in this space.

The only selling points / differentiators I see listed right now are: "no paywall/free, open source". Those do not differentiate it from anki.
This article would be a lot more interesting if it also mentioned any of the downsides of switching to a non-default keyboard layout. They just mention switching to Colemark as if it's the obviously superior option and you'd be a fool for not switching. Depending on what you're doing, I hope you enjoy a lifetime of fighting with keyboard shortcuts, or having to constantly remap keyboard shortcuts for every single new program. And hopefully you're not interacting with other people's devices or having other people interact with yours, because nobody else is going to be sharing your non-default keyboard layout.

It would be cool if web browsers provided better tools for handling diverse keyboard layouts. You can implement customizable shortcuts if your app merits that level of complexity, but if you just wanna implement a few default shortcuts they can end up in really awkward positions for non-default layouts. Unfortunately for most developers supporting multiple keyboard layouts is probably really low in their priority list.
Judging by how many "contracts" between the west and Russia I imagine have been broken over the war in Ukraine, its actually deeper than many think. We forget how writers and comedians have a good pulse on human nature without all the fluff and feel good narrative we like to placate ourselves with.
Also 11%, and I was more lenient (IIRC, only car, police and ambulance). Perhaps it is broken?

Certain things get a lot more complicated when you go from AC to DC. Two of the most significant issues for home use are connects that can be disconnected under load (arcing is a serious issue here) and turning DC power on/off with mechanical switches (arcing is also the issue here).

Industrial DC devices get around these issues with stricter rules and bulkier/more complex devices. E.g. electric cars use contactors to connect batteries rather than a simpler relay/switch.
What… is this site and what’s with the swiftlang logo
I switched from QWERTY to Colemak-DH and it barely made a difference, not for speed and not for type comfort. It was a fun brain rewiring exercise though.

For me the largest impact in getting rid of wrist and hand pains (besides good adjustment of chair and table and regular exercises) was switching to a Kinesis Advantage. Besides being split, tented, and having column stagger, the key wells put my hands at a much more natural position and makes keys easier to reach. The thumb keys also allowed me to unload the pinkies a lot.

At this point I can’t really go back to a flat keyboard for daily use. They just feel bad.

I also made a Dactyl (meh) and put in an order for the Glove80, which I am really looking forward to try.

But I wouldn’t really recommend a switch to Colemak, it’s not really worth the effort. Also, a subset of the Colemak community is quite obnoxious. You’d think they are interested in alternate layouts, but they have a tendency to attack anyone who proposes something that is not Colemak.
