Playing devils advocate here, how do you know that?

This whole argument dont look under the rug because if the rug isnt dirty then theyll shift their attention to under the couch seems afoul.
In Mississippi, one of those two aforementioned states, it's perfectly legal to drink and drive (with an open container in your hand!) as long as you stay below 0.08 BAC.

(Nit: it's legal at a state level but municipalities and counties are allowed to dictate more rules on drunk driving - most don't, but YMMV)

Less about home vs gold plated more of there are different hdmi spec. HDMI 1.0 doesn’t support 4k@60Hz, HDMI 2 does, while hdmi 2.1 is 4k@240 Hz. The port looks the same. I’m sure a home store branded hdmi 2.1 is ok, just have to make sure the standard is the one you want.
> Turns out the state required you to “wear” this license plate after your third DUI or something.

This doesn't make much sense because the license plate is attached to the car, not the driver. Couldn't the manager just drive his wife's or friend's car or something? What purpose does the plate serve? "Warning everyone! A serial drink driver might be in this car, but might not be, and if he's in it he might be driving, or might not!" Totally useless. As someone else mentioned, wouldn't it make more sense to permanently revoke someone's license after 3 DUIs?
manufacturers of red-light cameras do not wonder, they have quietly made fortunes in the past 20 years.. more recently "mandatory license plate scanners at major bridges and toll roads" it seems. edit
For all such examples of using closures there are alternative implementations that use more efficient mechanisms.

For examples like this, if it is not desired to use a single function with one extra parameter, then multiple functions that differ in using some different constants or different private static variables can be generated by some template mechanism, without using closures.

The problem with closures is that they introduce an overhead in any function that is passed as a parameter or used for some other reason through a pointer, by adding an extra indirection, even if in most cases this is not needed, instead of adding overhead only in the few cases when capturing local variables is really useful (unless something like whole program optimization is used).
I recently bought a 4K screen specifically to be able to have an IDE and a browser next to each other. Every once in a while there's an app that thinks that all of that screen real estate is really all just for them. It's not.

Are you aware that this link is about Alphabet, that we are talking about Meta here, and that Alphabet is not Meta? Zuckerberg owns a special class of stock in his company that gives him total control, despite the existence of other institutional shareholders. The buck stops with him and therefore blame for any bad business decisions can be squarely placed on his shoulders.
Wow, never heard of this one - how many messaging/chat applications has Google created now?

In the large majority of use-cases, the cheap cable is going to do fine.

In the small minority of cases it won't... choosing to buy the newer spec cable from a company that's promoting obvious bullshit (like gold contacts) just screams "I'm getting scammed". If the only version of the new spec HDMI cable you carry is a needlessly upmarket and expensive version of the cable... assume they're slinking off to amazon for good reason... to go buy the cheap version of the right spec cable online.

Is there an optimal country to host conferences? (One that presents the least hassles with visas?)
This article was great! I think the overall premise is probably more useful for graphic designers than programmers, because I believe many programmers kind of implicitly know this advice. However I’ve worked with graphic designers in the past that were obsessed with having their Figma design translate to the web page in a pixel perfect manner, and they would always be confused when things didn’t align correctly. This inevitably leads to breakpoint Hell, where they design pixel perfect designs for tons of breakpoints and ask you to implement them.

While this is laudable, I think it’s important to remember that a design should focus more on how the layout flows when resizing the viewport and focusing on a couple target breakpoints. I think that’s what this article is trying to emphasize.
> to ensure our species continues.

Why is that important to you?
The US is much better than the EU and Canada about granting visas for conferences.
Same goes for me.

Blue light filtering + glasses make me feel comfortable and good.

Millions of students coming online, textbooks are digital now, SSO all the things. Perfect storm.
Okay that makes sense. You're saying that since the GPL itself is not open, that it needs Stallman's approval for modifications that are not explicitly allowed. And I was saying that it does not necessarily mean those modifications are enforceable between two parties in a random jurisdiction, which comes down to courts and whatnot.
Otherwise, your next best bet would be to add a notes file or folder with all your TODOs and notes that refer to lines in the source code and keep that in gitignore.

I'm not sure why anyone would be especially passionate about figuring out the details how though. If you want to level a criticism at the author, it's spending time on blog posts instead of ostensibly making the super cheap, better data analytics platform he's advocating for.
Would you consider Hacker News a social medium?

I keep using Hacker News, and follow several people on Mastodon or Twitter in read-only mode (don't have an account) to keep up on the news about web development.
University of Kentucky too, first day of classes, no one can get into anything they aren't already logged in to with a valid cookie.

According to the article, neither of them had read Huckleberry Finn when they came up with the idea. I think they just thought it would be fun.
It probably is largely familiarity, but I find them all a lot harder to read than European numberplates, at any distance. The font (family), colouring, spacing, etc.

As somebody from the "Global South", it's ridiculous to say that the average quality of work in top universities in, say, India, is on the same level as the average quality of work in top universities, in, say, the US.

This is not due to any difference in the inherent quality of the researchers, but due to (IMO) a lack of resources. This falls into two categories:

The first is the lack of a high-expertise peer/mentor community. Historically most research communities have centered in US/Europe. So even getting advice and mentorship is much more difficult, and the difficulty is exacerbated if you can't travel to conferences. Even if you manage to become established in your field, if you're not travelling to conferences and networking with other top researchers, you won't be privy to new research directions and questions, won't be able to take part in collaborations on interesting research projects, and won't have as productive a career as your colleagues in the global North. This also leads to a feedback loop (your research isn't exciting → you don't get to go to conferences to participate in research conversations → your research isn't exciting, and so on). In the end, the process of doing science is a social phenomenon, and you can't sequester yourself in your own country and expect to be a good researcher working on interesting problems.

The second category of resources is funding. The pool of money available for research is just much smaller in the global South, and makes certain kinds of research just impossible (think big distributed systems research, GPU-heavy ML research, etc.) So if you want to do that kind of research, you can't really stay in your home country.
Hurricanes are a problem here in Florida and communication can be though during the outage or hours after. My neighbors and I use a specific channel with cheap BaoFengs to check on each other and make sure we are all stocked, but it would be nice to have the ability to text within a group chat (not everyone understands radios, unfortunately).

How can I setup a local area network over radio? I've tried transferring data over the BaoFengs with adapters and a custom app, but it was very slow.
> Like meth or alcohol abuse, it's a bad solution to a problem.

Which other solution do you think of for someone who’s bored at an event, can’t go out, and doesn’t have anything more in their pocket than their phone? I don’t know what was the exact situation, but I would be wary about writing conclusions based on something I saw and don’t understand.
Reminds me of the neighbors across the street who were too lazy to get rid of an old half-barrel planter on their porch that was full of dirt and nothing else. It had hundreds of holes in the soil. Bumblebee nests. Every day, they'd take the chance of getting bopped by one of them as they entered or exited their home.

I think part of this might be because it is still considered proprietary information. Kind of crazy, but there is really only one company in the US that makes space qualified TWTs which is Stellant systems (formerly L3, formerly Hughes microwave) who made the Voyager TWTs as well.

It’s likely about taxes.

A company I worked for with two Bay Area locations wanted to use badge data to show that certain employees were not based in SF. They were using badge data to support this, and then they could reduce their sf tax base.

For remote in general I’m sure this also applies, even more at the state level. Say you’re in Nevada but coming to the office 4 times a week in California. California will come after its tax share, without any question. It’s likely there a headache to figure out for both you and your company.
We have two cats and it differs from cat to cat, and with age.

When they were young our female would hunt quite a bit, certainly several times a month. Our male was hopeless at it, occasionally bringing back a live mouse and then not knowing what to do with it.

Now they have got older we have not had so much as a single mouse in a couple of years. I'm fairly sure I've seen more spiders as well.
Nothing was found by courts. Or governments. Or the media. Or anyone, really.

Perhaps because in modern discourse, far right typically means literal authoritarian, while far left views are universal healthcare, education, social protections, environmental justice, etc.

The terms are loaded. If they were equal on the horseshoe so to speak, the far left would be talking about communism, which they are not. In that sense, yes communism and authoritarianism are two sides of the same coin. Our current political definitions “far left” and “far right” are not.
That could happen for ordinary people and companies who have to rely on commodity processors or who license ARM cores and add their own peripherals around them on a custom chip, but Apple designs their own ARM processors.

They have an ARM architecture license. They design their own ARM implementations from the ground up.

If something can be done to RISC-V designs that would leapfrog ARM and ARM does not want to incorporate whatever breakthrough that is into their own cores for some reason that will mean that the people who rely on commodity ARM chips or on licensed ARM cores will be out of luck.

Apple on the other hand would be free to incorporate that into their ARM implementation.

I say this as a guy who still works a Starting-Strength-based program. Power lifting is great--it changed my life. But it's NOT a solution to disability and it's NOT a foolproof prevention.

It's to notify police to stop the car if they see it on the road. The US has a lot of infrequently used or unused cars that gradually transition to a sedentary life in a garage or yard. It's not illegal to let your registration or inspection lapse if the car isn't being driven. If you drive a car with a lapsed registration or safety inspection sticker, police will notice, stop you, and issue a ticket.

And this is how the Democrats have been painted in the corner.

Presuming there was no problem:

- Not doing any 'improvements' would result more of what is going on right now, an inability to prove the otherside wrong, and doubling down on the (near ridiculous) claim that it was the 'most secure election of all times'.

Presuming there were issues:

- Doing anything to improve them would mean that the one election they truly really wanted to win (i.e. defeating Trump), they will be accused of finally admitting that there were problems.

- Which means from their perspective, keep doubling down on the claim that it was the most secure election of all times

- OTOH if you didn't care that much about defeating Trump, and truly want there to be improvements if they are needed, then the Democrats claiming that these were the 'most secure elections of all times' just makes you start not believing it

While I don't see myself (or others) in a situation where I won't have access to my G account for 2 years, this is one of the many recent Google business decisions that makes me want to move away from the Google platform entirely. Their purchase and cratering of the Nest brand was the first offense and it's built up from there.

If I died unexpectedly, my partner would already need to do a lot of research and upkeep to make sure all the assets linked to the gmail weren't lost - and she's not the kind of people to know about this sort of Google policy, leading me to believe the assets left to her are in jeopardy.
I am a DAU of the Fediverse because it's an easy way to see what my friends are up to and tell them what I'm up to. I also use it to follow "celebrities", such as they are, in the Rust world.

By contrast, I have a Twitter account, but I only log in once every few weeks to check for messages.

I think there is a meaningful distinction between corporate social media and volunteer-run platforms like the Fediverse.

Even if the CLA somehow said you could only relicense to MIT, they could simply do that without releasing anything, and immediately take it and use it in proprietary things :)

Some background - Galileo was announced as Acorn's successor to RISC OS, although I don't think it was ever demonstrated. A press release from 1997 can be read here: http://www.poppyfields.net/acorn/news/acopress/97-02-10b.sht...

Acorn ceased producing workstations in 1998, and the Phoebe 2100 (RiscPC 2) was never released.

'Turbo Nutter' seems to be a somewhat radical vison for what the Phoebe 2100 could have been. Notably, the Acorn engineers responsible for this document are using the name 'Galileo' to refer to something other than the OS, as Taos is mooted here as the choice of OS for the RiscPC 2.

'Phoebe' was named after the character in the 1990s US sitcom 'Friends', which was popular at the time.
This is why engineers build plenty of defensible space around water and power plants.

Traffic cameras usually have to recalibrate for every single one (e.g. for AI, retrain with new designs in the training set).

In the future, I might expect designs (and fonts) to converge towards AI legibility, but these plates raise money for states, so that will provide a dampening effect.

I know at least one other country that has recently initiated a program to redesign plates for AI legibility.
