Whether it was the original plan or not, by the time the movie gets to the end credits the parallels to a lynching are incredibly explicit.

I'd like to put in a rec for https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053454/ "The World, the Flesh and the Devil", which is an apocalypse movie with a slightly different premise: what if the only survivors of an apocalypse in apartheit 1950s America were a black man and a white woman? Contains some great shots of deserted New York and some very intense performances.
Yjs isn’t a document structure is it? It seems to be a library for collaborative editing, but I’m not seeing something suitable for marking up a document, or am I missing something obvious?
How is a CLA any different of a legal agreement than agreeing to a license?

The CLAs I have seen basically boil down to the project maintainers maintaining ownership of the code, ability to adjust the license if desired, and protect them from people contributing code that the contributor doesn't have the rights for.

I have seen projects suffer from single contributors stubbornly refusing to budge on relicensing, even if the relicense would benefit the project.
Well, there is a reason, but you won't like it.

"And if you use the emergency switch, the window showers you in shattered glass"

I'll take "Things That Have Never Happened" for $800

Most people with no experience with the car reach for the handle rather than the button, as it's more intuitive. The window does NOT shatter when they do this. The window is up against a rubber seal. Rubber has give - it just drags along the rubber. Which you'd ideally rather not do, but it's hardly the end of the world.

(In case anyone is wondering why it's like this - the cars have frameless windows. The same applies to all cars with frameless windows - Teslas aren't the only ones. Generally higher-end cars.)
The text preceding that list is “if … you want a diverse audience”, which suggests they’re asking conference organisers to send personalised invitation letters to every foreigner who wants to attend, not just speakers. That could mean thousands of letters.
Yeah, about that: I started with a solid bodyweight fitness regime and after 10 good workouts over 4 weeks, two of my finger hurt to the point of feeling like they're damaged and the palm of my hand feels overtrained and constantly tense or something. Gives me pain with every pushup.

So, "it's really that easy" actually causes pain that I also feel when I hold a cup of tea.

I'm not saying that one shouldn't start lifting weights, but no matter what you do, you can be (temporarily) disabled for any reason, which is precisely what the article is about.
This creates a new bias against people who can't lend a conference $X,XXX for a flight and hotel.
In an increasing number of places, you don't (except perhaps by forcing or convincing someone to let you use their identity). Where I'm at right now, receiving SMS or making phone calls require a subscription with photo ID and physical address - prepaids and travel SIMs are data-only these days. The latter ones also require photo ID for service activation.
Some organizations (IBM/Eclipse) require signing agreements before you can even log an issue on their bug tracker. It's a pain, and I really can't be arsed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcanum:_Of_Steamworks_and_Mag... has an interesting solution to the magic vs. gunpowder problem: the use of magic makes nearby guns fail, and vice versa. Either can work, but your character must choose to specialize in one or the other.

Besides there's little reason for any codebase of any kind of ever contain bubble sort (except for an academic one, showing it as an example of a bad one). We're talking 20 years ago, not 2000 years ago, the basic sorting algorithms were pretty well researched and established by then.
Do you think it could be adapted so that we can use an rpi and pwm on a gpio to have a rx/tx without the RF component?
It's not necessarily a "mental health issue", it's just fairly common procrastination.

Also, there's motivation and there's (self-) discipline. You get up in the morning or do things either because you feel like it, or because you have to. Of course it feels better if you feel like it (you're motivated), but if you're not motivated then discipline has to take over.
Good point. But getting Java devs (ie the rest of my team) to join in on the Kotlin fun has proven difficult.
Came here to say this. I love the magic in that series.
I would note that the original origin of the zombie trope among Haitians was a slightly different fear: what if slavery didn't end when you die? What if there was no release, ever, from being controlled? That you could be raised from the grave and made to do more work?

(hardly anyone does a zombie movie from the POV of the zombies; most people treat it as given that they are dehumanized, the Other that it's safe - no, morally necessary - to kill)
It has been some years since I read LotR, but wasn’t there one very widespread edition that contained a foreword by Tolkien where he very clearly denied any allegory behind the story, and was obviously fed up by people claiming such?
Are you sure? I see scan lines (of the NTSC/PAL variety) when I zoom in. I also don’t see how this scheme would be less possible with NTSC/PAL.

That’s disappointing, but understandable. It would need to be original cabinet hardware to be THAT cool.

EDIT: Ah, duh, in order to produce color it necessitates differently colored phosphors and a shadow mask, which might explain what I'm seeing. It does look like horizontal vector scan lines though, if you look at the screenshot I provided in other comments
Also guns are boring for character progression.

Sword users can learn new techniques. Wizards can learn new spells. Characters can become visibly stronger, or to learn to wield stronger arcane forces. But a guy with a gun can... what? Get a bigger gun?

You take somebody like Magneto and you can have lots of creative applications of the powers, interesting matchups and development. Or you can have Rob Liefeld hero #6, who charges in with big guns. And either the bad guy dies, or the bullets bounce off and there's little ground in between.

There's a whole comic book era of big dudes with guns and they're pretty much all pointless because there's nothing much interesting they can do.
Really makes me appreciate how good we have it here phone-wise in ireland. You can't be charged for number porting, and the carrier gets a fine if they can't do it in 24 hours. (usually instantaneous) No idea if it's the same with eSIM.

Plus, you can usually keep using the sim from your old carrier and the same number when you switch providers. (sometimes sims need replacing when network upgrades happen)
I think this is a bit of a generational thing, with older people considering ij a letter, and younger don't, "younger" being under 40/50 or so. I'm approaching 40 and I was never taught to see ij as a letter, and always considered it to be the same as eu, ou, ei, and so forth: two letters that make a single sound (digraph).

The y doesn't occur in Dutch words, only in loanwords, and while loanwords with a y are relatively common now, I suppose most are also fairly new (as in: last 100 years or so), which would explain the generational difference.

I also think it's fine to just capitalize the I: Ijsland instead of IJsland. I suspect this will be the norm 50 years from now.
Hmm, disappointed to find that this is not about sleep(3) ...

We're talking about the set of people that actually weight lifting exercises, though, not the population.

Someone that goes for regular long walks is better off than a powerlifter, I doubt you would consider that a convincing argument against the gym.
I'm not certain I understand the point you're trying to make regarding `undefined`, or indeed the expectation that `jq` and `JSON.stringify()` follow the same rules.

`JSON.stringify()` is documented to behave exactly as you demonstrate, so there's no surprises:

undefined, Function, and Symbol values are not valid JSON values. If any such values are encountered during conversion, they are either omitted (when found in an object) or changed to null (when found in an array). JSON.stringify() can return undefined when passing in "pure" values like JSON.stringify(() => {}) or JSON.stringify(undefined).

Expecting `jq` to somehow understand that its input came from Javascript's `JSON.stringify()` and so should be parsed on that basis seems ... odd? I don't see any problem with what `jq` is doing there, but anyway I don't see a problem with JSON itself in these examples.
True, but a lesson we frequently have to learn over and over again is that the code is in software in widespread use, the only valid values for collection sizes are 0 and N -> ∞.
Fear is a response to a perceived threat. For example, in a panic attack you fear dying, but you are in no more danger than anyone else.

Anxiety is a kind of fuzzy term because it encompasses an overall pattern and cycle as well as the associated feelings. But a useful distinction is that anxiety is driven by avoidance of fear of some uncertainty, and exposure and acclimation to that fear (without avoidance) is what extinguishes the anxiety.

Avoidance can take almost any form, but common examples include worry and rumination, procrastination, compulsive rituals like hand-washing or internet research, self-medicating, and superstitious behaviors. And of course, literal avoidance.
Hubris, not "hybris".

As in the unconscionable hubris of someone presuming to know what environmental researchers think, imagining them to collectively believe in an 'ideal' environment, etc.

The link I gave specifically looks at the changes made by an over abundance of introduced feral species to an environment that had been in a particular balance for some 50,000 years.

The introduction of cattle reduced biodiversity, etc.

Thus answering the question posed above for one locale at least.
Most companies don't need a lot of things.

I don't do a whole lot of data analytics anymore, but I'd say: Start with figuring out how much data you actually have. We still see companies claim to have vast amounts of data, but in reality they are talking about less than a TB of data, frequently just a few 100GB. When you operate at that scale, just chuck your data into whatever database you're comfortable with and do SQL queries, it's fine.

Once you hit the scale where you have "enough" data I'd agree with many of the other comments: Managing open source or home grown solutions quickly become more expensive than just paying for a service. Not quite the same, but we considered deploying a few solutions on OpenStack, but once you paid for training and staff it turned out to be cheaper to just give VMWare more money.

To be fair, it IS different, and I think Canadians cannot fathom the concept of taking a bottle of booze / carton of cigarettes / box of chocolate with you for normal bureaucratic activities. Similarly, it took me a while to understand where Canadian corruption lies and I'm sure I only understand and am aware of tiny percentage - I happily live a straight and narrow, middle class, ignorant kind of life. As such I'm only sure there's many other types of corruption in other places I'm blissfully ignorant of :-:
Only I will remain.
While I agree I kind of think this should be nailed down before such a departure.

After all, on a high-end vehicle a back-camera that hasn't sorted this is just a gimmick.

Maybe they have, all my experiences indicate otherwise though I don't have much experience with new expensive cars.
Freakanomics had a really great explanation.

Recruiters are paid a percent. The most important thing for them is a sale. Not the amount of sale. So for example would they spend extra time getting you 5k more a year or 10k more? No. If they know you'll accept a lower number their goal is to keep working with the employer.

What is better? 20k payout? Or 20.5k payout? Practically no difference. To you an extra 10 or 20 grand a year is huge. To them it's nothing. They care more about the deal happening than optimizing it.
Well that was a misleading headline.
Everyone's suggestions of works that use gunpowder in interesting ways (thank you!) reminded me of David Weber's "Safehold" series[0].

It's not really fantasy, though it does hold to a few tropes, but it explores what happens when you speed-run the introduction of gunpowder (and other technological advancements) in a world that has severe technological restrictions placed upon it.

I really enjoyed it, but I'm someone who enjoys reading in depth about how improvements in cannons changes the shape of naval battles (for example).

The academic criticism of the horseshoe theory cited in the article seems highly biased. It neglects to mention that the overwhelming majority of social scientists are on the left or far-left, so it is not surprising that they want to resist the conclusion that the far-left is similar to the far-right.
> All it would take is a few extra modulation and coding modes in the standard. [...] but at a data rate of 0.3 kbps.

It would take more than just "a few extra modulation and coding modes". At 0.3 kbps, even a single 100-byte packet would already use up one whole third of the available airtime for the channel. (On the current slowest WiFi speed of 1 Mb/s, that packet takes a fraction of a percent of the available airtime, and even that's slow enough that some newer APs disable the older 802.11b speeds by default and set the slowest speed to 6 Mb/s.) And due to how the WiFi protocol works, each AP periodically (usually every 100/1024 seconds, so around 10 times per second) broadcasts a beacon at the slowest rate it accepts (and AFAIK the beacon is nowadays larger than 100 bytes).

It would probably require at least changing how the clear channel assessment works, to allow for overlapping transmissions, but that's a fundamental part of the standard. Once you're going that far, it probably makes more sense to define a new protocol, one better tuned for that use case.
"Truly an inspired design if that is the case" - it's not the case.

"Rear doors either do not have an emergency release" - you mean like every coupé ever built? Since when were you protesting coupés? Rear doors not only do not have to have manual releases, but don't even have to exist.

"lack and/or ambiguity of signifiers" - the front manual release handle is not only not ambiguous, but is far more prominent than the electric release button, so most people with no experience with the car pull it instead of the button.

It's also, in all this, noting that modern cars have crash sequences. A crash is detected either (ideally) immediately before, or during its occurrence. A wide range of events are triggered, such as brakes, airbags, etc... and among the things triggered is *unlatching all the doors for easy egress* (the specific details depends on the door design - you want the door easy to open but not to pop out during the crash itself). Now, things can go wrong - the prime characteristic of a crash is that it mangles your car, and this can jam doors shut or cause other problems. This is why the Jaws of Life exists. But prepping the doors for egress is something that cars at least try to do during a crash.
Because it is an Italian word, which is perhaps not as common a source for words as to have it ingrained into people’s brain, say compared to French.

But quite clearly there are lots of soft rules that should never be learned directly, but indirectly people do pick up (not only natives, I am not a native English speaker, yet I can probably guess an approximate pronunciation for unseen words that won’t be statistically too bad) — like how an ML model might do.
You don't need the `unless k.key? v` guard. The `Hash.new` block only gets called when the key is not present in the hash.

It is surprising how popular is using O(N^2) algorithms that are simple in implementation even in extremely popular libraries. E. g. ICU search method: https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/blob/a7a2fdbcf257fa22c7a2...
ICU is used by Python, Windows or OpenOffice.

What about the English longbow? Or Mongolian horse bows?
> Does it also come naturally to you to prononce "tuohguorht" as the reverse of "throughout"?

I'm not a native English speaker so the pronunciation of that kind of word (with gh and th) is not immediate to me. I know how to pronounce "throughout" more by tongue memory than by actual thinking.

I can picture "tuohguorht" clearly in my head but most likely don't pronounce it how it should if it were a real word.

But you highlight a good point here. I can very easily picture the forward and backward spelling, though I'm just "reading out loud the reversed word", I'm not actually reversing the sound as the person in the article,so it's a different form of visualisation, based on letters rather than sounds.
I think we would get used to it pretty quickly if it was adopted into English. No one thinks that we should write about Αθήνα or Владимир Путин or 東京都 in English, either.
Operation Northwoods? Oh wait..

(Proposed false flag operation where the US joint chiefs of staff wanted to commit terrorist acts in the US and blame them on Cuba as a pretext for invading the island; it got up to the bloody president who shot it down, so it was a very serious plan)
I would trust myself more to implement bubble sort than to implement insertion sort. Not that I couldn't implement insertion sort, I've done it before, but if I was in a context where I had to implement a quick and dirty ad-hoc sorting algorithm which I thought would only ever have to sort a few items, I would probably go with bubble sort.

If I suspected at all that the algorithms would have to sort a decent number of items, I wouldn't consider using an O(n^2) sort at all and would take the time to find a good implementation of (or implement) one of the O(n log(n)) algorithms.
It's clearly not cheaper, is it! Energy prices are higher than they have ever been! What are yuo talking about? Do you know anyone that lives in poverty? I do, I help them financially. These people are struggling, and NetZero is not helpful.

Wind is not cheap. We can do better than this

Edit: Seriously, I'm willing to be convinced but I am at a loss whenever I see people deny that increased inflation hurts people with less money than it does people like you. If you need me to explain how it works (that as a % of your income, poorer people will pay FAR MORE in energy, housing, food, and other inflation-related costs, which, you know, is in part fueled by chasing NetZero) I'll happily sacrifice my time to help you understand.

Omg, I just read the documentation for erasedups and I'm actually shocked anyone would want that feature turned on, to the point where it never even would have occurred to me to implement it in the first place and if the feature worked like that without some way to turn it off I'd have been super angry :(. Maybe we are parsing that sentence wrong and by "shouldn't be necessary to set" the idea is "it is useful in situations where you have limited disk space / memory but in the 21st century no one would need to set this so it might as well no longer be supported"?
That's the idea though, if your intentions are sound but you're not getting the reactions you expect, then you need to re-evaluate how you're acting. The important part is not to beat yourself up about it - bad reactions are just a way for you to learn and correct your actions, fundamentally you are still the person you think you think you are.
Worth noting that "Gaelic" is a group of languages

I agree with the general sentiment that things seems to be improving over time. But it won't always be like that, as at one point we'll reach AI winter again, and then it doesn't matter if the ecosystem moved incredibly fast for N years, you can't extrapolate that to future developments.
My experience is that there is a lot of milage for small and medium enterprises to use your normal RDBMS replication to create a copy of your OLTP DB that drives your business and run your analytics on that. And put up with complaining it can be slow to do inefficient analytics queries.

Really, after spending silly amounts of time and hassle (and money) on the fancy snowflake or whatever, you discover its not massively faster for those small and medium businesses. And now you have to keep paying for it and keep maintaining it, which is a often actually a bigger burden than keeping a normal RDBMS replica alive.

I don’t think this is capitalism per se, unless you think that being greedy and short sighted is a key capitalist concept.

I know it’s hard to boil down what capitalism is, but to me it seems be markets, competition, incentive-based invisible hands type controls, and flow of capital.

This behavior is really the opposite as it’s really just rent seeking of locking people into your thing and then turning the screws.

I don’t think enshittification is unique or even more likely in capitalism and seems more likely to exist with heavy, conscious regulation as companies will minmax to stay in the rules and make the most money.

So just say “capitalism, sucks eh?” seems to make it harder to correct this behavior. It seems like the current rules we have need fixing to correct against companies limiting their market and locking people in. US airlines aren’t really a good example of “capitalism” since it’s just a few companies with little competition (eg, check out how many airlines really compete over routes and just settle for “united cities” and “delta cities”).
Yeah. There are lot of such “feel good”, technically true, but not logically expected reporting. The solar panels on my roof generate a lot of electricity while I’m not home, and not really using it, but I feed into the grid, and pull when I need it(when the sun is not shining). I can’t boast that my energy is so renewable that I can start mining bitcoins at home - that’d be stupid.
my subjective experience writing the above comment as documented in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37206998 may be a relevant data point; note that the insertion-sort code is subtly buggy, and the bubble-sort code isn't
