I want to cherry pick this:

>"...Throw in access to a smartphone where you’re bombarded with images and videos of the best version of everyone you know’s lives and you start feeling even more like you are the problem and are more likely to take your life when in a vulnerable position..."

This is exactly my point- it is NOT the smartphone's fault. This is the fault of social media/advertisers and the fact that people refuse to get off of social media (because why work for money when you can just trade your privacy for a sponsorship deal and 10k followers). Nobody is "bombarding" you with anything if you just don't use those services, and if you replace "smartphone" with "Internet", "computer", "TV", etc... Your statement is still 100% true. I'm no expert but to me this is a dead ringer that the _smartphone_ isn't the root problem, and it would be unreasonable to blame this on "every device capable of displaying a webpage."

This is a "corporations suck" issue- not a technical issue. Smartphones are a convenient punching bag to blame, just like how millennials were "being corrupted" by violent video games.

Your other points are absolutely rock solid- no objections (especially the always-on camera bit, and not just because of bullying). It's this one point I take issue with. The social media and advertising companies are at fault- not the technology those companies use (yet. I love VR/AR but I do NOT like where it's going right now).

If it helps make sense of how I view this problem, the gun industry is a direct parallel. To fight gun violence we want to go after the sellers. Replace "gun" with "smartphone" and ask yourself: "does it make sense to go after smartphone manufacturers and sellers to stop cyber bullying? Is it fair to hurt the eCommerce, gaming, telephone, etc... Unrelated companies because ad companies are driving kids to despair?" To me the answer is "no", because I don't think it's fair to impact other digital companies relying on smartphones for business because a few of them are problematic. I also don't think it's fair to punish sport shooters, hunters, etc... By impacting their rights to (legal) gun ownership just because sellers want to protect their bottom lines.

Something needs to change, but I don't believe it's smartphones. We need to make it illegal to base a business model on the suffering of others.
The manager told me something along the lines of "hey this has been causing issues, can you take a look? Others haven't been able to figure this out." It's the latter part of the statement that I was musing over in the article. I'll take the sarcastic congrats, though, better than internet name calling.

If spheres have theoretically zero contact area, and they stack in a tube, is there zero contact area between the spheres?

We say that the limits of 1/x and 2/x are equal, but they have different slopes approaching said asymptotic limit
Yes it will announce "priority right", but it's not normal to take control from the captain (and also highly unusual to take control from the first officer outside of training). Unless you're avoiding an immediate safety threat you would normally call out the problem but not take control.

It's a bit different for a training captain like in the video. They know these are the first officer's first landings on the real aircraft, so when things go wrong they take over.
> The light tells you that already: take it to the shop.

That's not enough information. At a minimum, there should be a way to distinguish between "you should make an appointment with a mechanic at your earliest convenience" and "pull over right now and call a tow truck, or you'll have to completely replace your engine and transmission".
Agreed; the Supreme Court is heavily Conservative, but that doesn't always align 100% with what the more vocal parts of the modern Conservative movement want or believe. I don't try to predict Supreme Court rulings, who knows what they'll do -- but I would not be shocked at all to see Conservative members of the court ruling in favor of Pornhub. It would be very consistent with prior rulings.

The Conservative court is slightly weird; it's not always going to be perfectly aligned with what the party wants. Nor is it clear that the broader Republican party would be on board with these kinds of restrictions anyway even if the court was just parroting them.

It's an oversimplification and there are caveats (coughThomascough), but in general both Conservative and Liberal courts tend to overall lean more towards broad interpretations of the 1st Amendment than the average American does. It's not a safe bet that they would suddenly reverse that trend.

The article on TWA 800 was excellent, especially for those that don't know much about what happened.

I've read the accident report, a few books, and even some of the conspiracy theories and this is the best "factual" summary.
Satire is compatible with most layers of pg's pyramid except of the top layer. But his comment is no higher than "responding to tone" - I know that GPT detectors use to false detect GPT-generated text in non-fluent human's one which is my case.

So I am not just were unable to see any satire in his comment but still is. But that was not useless: now I can answer to that kind of trolling with my comment which is upvoted despite of being located in [flagged] branch.
> I wonder what we consider harmless today that will be taboo in two decades.

Natural meat, assuming the stuff from bioreactors works out. People already coo over livestock escaping to freedom in time to avoid the slaughterhouse.

Booze, if someone can invent a different social lubricant without ethanol's impact on things like driving and making bad decisions.

Apparently diamonds are non-stick; if so, Teflon cookware will probably be replaced with ginormous synthetic diamond surfaces.

Possibly BDSM: given the moral panic about porn when I was growing up was about porn encouraging misogynistic abuse, I'm surprised that Fifty Shades of Grey was ever popular (as are the people I know who are into BDSM), though from what I heard from second hand book sellers… perhaps it was a book people bought more than they read.

Some random subset of food additives is a safe bet. And for moral panics, synthetic materials, so lets say… rare earth magnets because everyone thinks they clog up your chakras or something.

Anti obesity is not pro anorexia, no matter what you read on twitter. 700 calories a day when morbidly obeese is fine if it contains micronutrients. This has been replicated hundreds of times under medical supervision, And omg, it shows you skinny pics when asked? This is nothing but ragebait to the small pro fat community (which is responsible for more death and sufferung than ana, which is also not ok,) and nothing more.
> Doom-scrolling and other time-wasting stuff is far more efficient from a PC, and I don't know how people use phones for hours to do that. Typing is also worse even with swipe!

This. I've never understood the appeal of smartphones: the tiny screen and lack of physical keyboard/mouse is just annoying to me. Maybe I'm addicted to my laptop, but I'm certainly not addicted to my phone. It's a useful gadget to carry around if I need to check a map, snap a photo, or make a phone call, but otherwise I don't use it much. I guess a smartphone is better than nothing, if it's your only computing device, but what a subpar experience!
> While that may be true, it is not unconstitutional to write dumb laws.

It was when the kind of “dumb” is a more intrusive (on fundamentlal rights) than necessary means of serving a compelling government interest that would otherwise be sufficient to warrant some intrusion on fundamental rights.

Or when it is an intrusion on fundamental rights without such an interest at all.
Browsers are just shit user interfaces. They've never prioritized the user experience, nor actually integrated good solutions to common status problems. Designers even actively avoid common widgets because they're so bad.

Every once in a while they remove widely used functionality from the UI or bury it behind a lot of other crap, so someone has to invent an extension to bring it back. It's terrible.

All the alternatives have varying degrees of suckitude, and there's no way to just make an alternative browser without like $1.5 million dollars and two years of development.
Ordinary people being complacent is more of a sign (and a root cause) of an autocratic country than not if you ask me. I live in Hungary and it's the same here.
> tell kids how/why to be “good” , and largely they won’t be bad.

That is only part of the solution. Kids do more modeling than critical thinking. Parents and other role models need to show kids a good example. Bad behavior in kids is largely from bad modeling by the people they look up to, not insufficient instruction. Certainly the "why" should be explained, but saying "don't lie" means nothing if the person saying it then goes around lying constantly.

There is also the question of children becoming more peer oriented than parent oriented, which has become an increasingly prevelant situation the past century or so. The kids with better behavior tend to seek instruction, modeling, and self-worth from their parents. Kids with worse behavior tend to seek instruction, modeling, and self-worth from their peers (which is generally a terrible idea).
The implication of your comment is that poor people should just stay at home and look at pictures on the internet instead of occasionally traveling and experiencing things for themselves.

If this is your perspective, you’re either incredibly privileged, jaded, or both. I don’t think that poor people are necessarily owed cheap accommodation or transportation in any sense, but I also don’t think that active steps should be taken to remove more affordable options simply because they can’t afford to patronize high-end restaurants and stores or do the more expensive tourist activities.
Parents do have a responsibility to ensure their children don't access harmful content, just like they have a responsibility to protect them from drugs and alcohol.

But if there's a store down the street where kids can easily get booze, then that kinda makes it impossible as a parent. In this case it's worse--that "store" is right in the kid's pocket.

Pray tell.
I mean what about the Viet Cong?

I think the main idea is that a well armed population creates a different relationship with the government. It is much harder to round up people and send them to camps if they can actually put up a fight. The idea is to avoid that conflict in the first place by having that threat of civilian retaliation. Yes the government could still do it, but it would be costly.
I'm not sure what part of what i wrote "1" refers to. Terminator: Future Shock was made by Bethesda, not id and when i mentioned Doom i was comparing it to Terminator: Rampage (though Arena also came before Terminator: Future Shock) which had much less of an impact than Doom.
I live in one of the most gerrymandered states in the US. The district lines drawn since 2010 have been struck down by courts repeatedly, but there is no legal mechanism to force the legislature to draw them in a more fair way. On top of that, one of our two state house reps for the city I live in switched parties after being elected. Now the state legislature has a governor-veto-proof majority, and our state doesn't have recall elections.

I vote in every election. But in this instance my vote didn't matter in a very literal sense. Depending on what laws they pass next year I might not be able to access necessary medical care or even safely live in the state anymore. I don't plan on stopping voting, as I consider it my civic duty, but with political shenanigans like this I don't blame younger generations for feeling like their vote doesn't count.
Assuming you already know what continent somebody is on, 20 circles of 200km radius (120 miles) should cover most of the major population centers.

Please forgive me with your mighty experience, I'm young, naive, and impatient, new to the open source, and the software industry, I received a lot of criticism for this article, and I'll learn to do better and be more patient.

But if you read the article, i even begun to write the article only because i found a PR that was left unnoticed, uncommented, even by their CI system (Expected — Waiting for status to be reported) for almost a year.

It's not cool to get ghosted for a year!

Thank you : |
i’m also interested in this.

also how’s it going with loops?
sorry to hear that. We will patch it up asap!
There are plenty of situations where averaging two safe-but-opposite inputs would cause a crash. For instance, if you're holding hands/handcuffed with someone and walking toward a pole, you must both either go left, or both go right. This is a very common scenario in life and we have many solutions for the problem.

In the Air France situation, there's no way for the plane to "know" which pilot's input is correct, so I don't have a good answer, but "just average two drastically different inputs" seems crazy.
I mean, up until which point do you have full autonomy of the work you do in a bigger org? I might be misunderstanding your point, but I've only ever seen a developer that gets to choose whatever they want to work on in solo, early stage, or bootstrapped startups.
Prioritizing feature requests and providing good quality support takes a lot of time and effort... You can check in our Slack (https://infisical.com/slack) that we try to reply to everyone within a couple minutes. This is definitely the biggest one, but it's worth it IMO!
Thanks, appreciate it!

We forked pgsync for the silly reason that they hadn't published to PyPi in months, and some of their dependencies were out of date. We haven't made any modifications to pgsync so maintaining compatibility shouldn't be an issue, and we'll likely revert back to the main library once their dependencies are brought up to speed.
> There's an ebook piracy scheme that's been going on longer than z-lib, but it's a little bit more complicated to use than just a website, so it kinda flies under the radar.

In my experience downloading books from IRC isn’t as annoying as getting them from zlibrary etc but the selection isn’t as good.
What's wrong with monetization? You understand that OSS's significant problem is a lack of funding, where authors don't want or don't know how to monetize their product?

Sentry looks like a good model for OSS, and it's proof that you can make a living from OSS. I also don't have anything against "enterprise features" for which you need a license, while most features are available in OSS version.
But isn’t the sugar in a form that it can’t be metabolized by the body? Or is that untrue?
> They required every contributor to Terraform to sign a CLA that allowed this.

This is your reminder that you shouldn't make nontrivial contributions to projects that require CLAs like theirs. Instead, find or create a copyleft fork without one and contribute there instead.
I don't disagree that our hubris gets us in trouble, but we do have eyes, some animals when introduced cause very quick changes to ecosystems and I don't think it's hubris to say "oh fuck, we goofed". I don't condone cullings specifically but I think conservation absolutely requires controlling non-native species in certain circumstances. New Zealand has had enumerable species go extinct thanks to introduced species.
> Religion is older than democracy and will likely outlive it

Hard to say. I think religious indoctrination is harder to maintain over time in the face of technology. Eventually it will run out of shadow and won’t have enough compelling answers for life’s questions.
Nions, Short Up Tack, and Complex Numbers (2020)
As an MLS fan that bought the season pass as soon as it was announced, I can't agree more. Honestly Apple should be embarrassed, because the biggest problem with MLS Season Pass is the app and user experience.

1) On my TV, I'm consistently logged out of the app between uses. Logging in is annoying. I've sat down to watch games, hit this issue, and decided to just watch something else. I suspect that the issue here is my 2016-era LG TV, but everyone else's apps work fine.

2) When the app is working, it stutters a lot. This happens both on my TV and iPad, so I don't think this is just an app issue.

3) I have an Andriod phone, so there's no native app. More annoying log in experiences and poor video watching UX.

4) .. but on my Mac, where a website would be fine, I'm forced to use the Apple TV app to watch a game, which creates a slow and weird experience for no reason.

I'm genuinely to the point that I might not bother to renew next year if they don't start to fix these issues. I sort of doubt they will, though, as several of these (say, not having an Android app) seem like deliberate decisions and have been issues with AppleTV+ for years.
With the CLA in place, it doesn't matter. All contributors already gave hashicorp a broad license for everything that they don't already own, so hashicorp has license to largely do whatever regardless of what license they use to offer it to others.
Ah thanks. I thought I remembered from ground school that this was added afterwards.

Interesting that the FO flying from the left seat did not recognise that callout as a big thing to react to.
I think OSS core + proprietary components (which can be replaced by OSS alternatives) is much less evil business model than what Hashi did: forced contributors to give up copyright and then locked everything under business license.

There are many examples of such approach: Spark/Databricks, Cassandra/Datastax.
Original Doom used proprietary DMX audio library https://doomwiki.org/wiki/DMX, didnt stop Carmack and Raven from releasing sources.
No it does not.

And they do list the calories to two digits (which are <5g), list sugar as the primary ingredient, and have a footnote saying that the sugar is < 0.5g.

The disadvantage of standardized labelling is that there will be edge cases, such as when the serving size is under half a gram. Some other countries standardize on 100g for size, but for tic-tacs that would be more than 3 typical containers worth. Listing all three (portion, container and 100g size) would require a fold-out label to fit, which would negatively impact a product kept in purses and pockets.
Bro that is a super messed up stand point.
Binary search reduces the search space exponentially as it proceeds, so actually quite a lot of the total comparisons can hit L1d cache. (Maybe half of them for a ~250GB dataset.)

Of course, you could keep a cacheable partial index of your huge dataset to accelerate the early part of your search as well.
Sure, but the issue was entrenched in the system. Encouraging autonomy and ownership seems a difficult task in a large scale org.
> In terms of "string that I can type in the Browser address bar to go to a website", I agree with your definition.

That isn't a domain either. An address in there is a URL, a partial or complete one (it also recognizes search terms, but that's different).

It's actually really simple.

> In the Domain Name System (DNS) hierarchy, a subdomain is a domain that is a part of another (main) domain.

Having a subdomain be a type of domain is really important for speaking concisely about web security. If I say "what's the domain of the cookie?" and the answer can't be "news.ycombinator.com", that's suboptimal. At the same time for security it is also important to know who the registrar is, but for that there is the term TLD.
Stop repeating BEV propaganda. There are real reasons why BEVs can't work. By suggesting that oil companies are behind these criticisms is a conspiracy theory. Once you realize that those problems you brought up don't have magical solutions to them, you'd figure this out too.
So the question becomes if overeating causes this lack of appetite control over time, or if the lack of control is what caused someone to become overweight.

As far as I can tell the study can’t determine this.
Rebases are supported; you have to do the rebases through git-appraise in order for it to know that the original and rewritten commits are related.
The counterpoint to this is the real issue overpopulation of whitetail deer has caused in the eastern US over the past 30 years or so.

Why does everyone compare against `multiprocessing` when `concurrent.futures` (https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.futures.html) has been a part of the standard library for 11 years. It's a much improved API and the are _almost_ no reasons to use `multiprocessing` any more.
This is indeed what we are going for. We want to provide a very predictable license that gives most of the features for free for developers while keeping the managerial features paid to make sure that we can support development and maintenance of Infisical.
Ahh, Wendelstein is that stellerator reactor. The stellerator is really cool, and an alternative to a tokamak reactor. Tokamak is the doughnut shaped reactor, and it has a problem where the plasma near the outer circumference has less magnetic confinement. The stellerator is similar, but confines the plasma to a ribbon and folds it over on itself in a mobius-like arrangement.

I used to be really interested in this, but forgot it existed over the years. Glad to see it works!

It's not like that at all, because a website is nothing like a strip club regardless of what content it contains. Yes, the parents should be responsible for their own home networks and what travels across them. If the technology doesn't exist or isn't sufficient, then a market will be created to fill that need in short order.

This legislation is not about children accessing smut. It's about the government knowing which adults are accessing smut. That some children attempt to gain access is simply a convenient excuse and a way to rationalize the intrusion into privacy.
The obvious one is usually feral cats, which end up killing birds in large numbers if they haven't dealt with cats before. And a lot of those tend to be escaped house pets.
