Honestly to my understanding that is very common terms in contract law.

Normally you have a right to a full refund if a date is specified and missed (specifically you can liquidate the contract for failure to fulfill which allows you to retrieve your consideration). But pretty much everybody ensures the contract avoids that by either specifying damages for a missed date (which avoids full liquidation) or specifies that no real date is for open ended projects.

Note that with no end date you can still sue for failure to uphold if say updates stop.
> patients need 6 weeks of physical therapy before they can get an MRI as a direct result of a lack of helium

Then why hasn't the government, with its huge helium reserve, stepped in to solve this problem?

Maybe there is some hope the helium could end up being sold to people who actually want to apply it to socially beneficial uses like this, since the government apparently has no interest in doing so?
The problem is more than just payment, but the worker competition dynamic the apps are built around. It doesn't matter if you are paid handsomely per order delivered, including ample time and effort to properly lock everything up or truly do anything the customer wants and is willing to tip for, as long as the company pushes more orders to the people delivering faster, it will force a race to the bottom in service quality.
Does rsync work instead of scp to take advantage of incremental updates?
Note that in October B2 is removing egress costs and increasing storage prices to $6/TB.
Will a personal umbrella policy cover arbitration costs similarly to traditional litigation? Obviously one should be familiar with their policy, just curious speaking in generalities.
In your experience, what is a good schedule for scrubs?

I do one about every month or so. I should probably add a crontab for that.

Most Kickstarter backers out in $50 or less.

The filing fee for small claims court is usually $20 and that assumes you live near each other.

They are usually judgement proof but that isn't uncommon in other fields too.
Yes. I saw that too. It turns out that "building a chip" is different than "building a chip that meets specfic requirements we got from the customer."

I'm not saying "building a RV32x is impossible," I'm saying there are people with existing tool-chains that favour Verilog or SystemVerilog (or even VHDL, though I don't know of them personally.) And telling them "no, you should use Scala / Chisel / Firrtl to model the features you want to add to the system in order to meet customer requirements" is kind of a hard sell for many customers.
are you saying you are a homeless student with kids right now? or are you giving an hypothetical example?
Absolutely this. A series of commits dealing with different aspects (e.g. whitespace fix, minor related bug fix, necessary refactor, then the feature) is ideal.

For a start, it's easy to review, and easier to disect if something breaks.

When messy git history is provided (i.e. a history of the developer fixing their own code that they missed), squashing can be a reasonable fallback. But it's never the best option, IMHO.
Nothing for windows?
> you're not gaining any money from possessing it.

You aren’t gaining money, but you’re gaining wealth. And the compounding effects are exaggerated if you don’t pay tax until you sell.

For certain asset classes, especially liquid assets like shares/stocks this is dead simple. The value is easily and accurately determinable. If you don’t have the money to pay the tax, you sell assets to make the money. Property, especially residential, is basically on the same level. Ah, but what if investors don’t have the cash and are forced to sell their properties? God forbid these leeches stop treating housing as speculative assets and sell their portfolios onto owner-occupiers.

For other assets, yeah, I don’t know. But I don’t have a single iota of sympathy for millionaires/billionaires who may struggle to pay tax because their wealth isn’t generated via personal income.
Yeah psychiatry is basically an effort to take all the collective sins society makes and drops them on your head, they say its your fault youre depressed.
Similar to how religions made people feel guilty in the past so they can sell their religious message which is the only way out of this guilt.
Answer: Definitely maybe! Or maybe not!
What it literally says is "it's going to feel like I've insulted a cult". It's not a very idiomatic sentence, which to me suggests the writer is not a native English speaker, so we need to interpret more liberally.

>my comment will trigger negatively a ton of developers, because talking about JS like this it's going to feel like I've insulted a cult. Let me be clear this is not my intention.

The salient points are:

* A lot of developer may take offense to these comments.

* "Because it's like I've insulted a cult" -> "Because it's like I'm killing the sacred cow." -> "Because it's like I'm trying to be intentionally offensive about something that's off-limits."

* This is not their intention.

If you take into account the entire paragraph I think the intent is quite clear. "If you take offense to my comments please keep in mind that I'm not trying to be intentionally offensive, I'm just expressing my personal opinion." I'll grant you that it's somewhat clumsily communicated, but that's not that surprising if ivanmontillam is not a native speaker. I think you latched on too strongly to specific words, instead of taking in the general message.
Really we need somehow to rejuvenate scmutils, either with a faithful port to a modern language, or a spiritual successor of similar calibre.
The ONS, like Eurostat is a genuinely useful organization full of people who care about the accuracy of numbers. When the original data was released, they were clear that there were likely to be revisions. As it turns out the revisions are bigger than expected but the justification that during the Corona crisis, businesses didn't prioritize the form filling required by the ONS, is reasonable. There is also a change in methodology for many of the global stats agency in how GDP is calculated. The ONS is actually ahead of the game in getting that implemented. It's also had a positive effect, one that is likely to be replicated in other countries as they adopt the changes.
I think you need to turn your ringer on, otherwise it’s silenced.
oh no thanks for pointing it out I'll fix that
Investors usually have terms which defines the contract you both agree to.

Investments usually result in an ownership transfer though which doesn't have the same kind of hard stops necessarily.
No, but port conflicts do happen.
Well... all the tech committees in the foundation report up through one of the SiFive principals, so if you want to change the spec, it at least appears SiFive has veto power.
> The other thing that is important about reading beyond brain development is the learning of lessons / history / culture. I can't remember who the quote is from, but something like "He who does not read lives but one life. He who reads can live thousands."

You could say the same today about video games, movies, television, or even youtubers. Exposure to culture enriches the mind.
Looks like we have the same question.
It doesn't have access to _anything_ (in the browser, in other runtimes there is WASI with POSIX functions). Everything has to be imported from or exported to JS.

And currently using anything but C, C++ or Rust isn't feasible, as the runtime needed for a GC is way too big. A Haskell "Hello World" for example is about 1MB (even after running `wasm-opt` on the generated WASM binary).
Need to turn the ringer switch on, then they work.
Based on HN's demographics, i'm guessing the poster is American.

In America, war (as defined by a loss in civil liberties) has not happened for over 80 years (true wars must be actually... declared by Congress). The various military engagements since then have not arisen to the same level of mobilization as an actual war.

Nevertheless, COVID was not a war, and the impositions were not made after a majority vote of Congress. They were just... imposed. That is sufficiently different. Claiming that COVID lockdowns were justified because similar reductions in civil liberties have happened in war, despite COVID sharing no characteristics with a war, is the epitome of gaslighting. A pandemic does not justify the mass removal of civil liberties. Honestly, when it's been done in war, it's always been seen as a necessary evil, whereas most lockdown supporters instead seem to view the lockdowns, as you seem to do, as an unalloyed good.
Crack cocaine has a wide range of effects. Some people just get energetic, others become disorganized to the point of extreme dysfunction.

To be "on crack" is to display any of these qualities; sometimes good, sometimes bad.

I usually see it used to describe a positive trait in the form of high energy / confidence.
Does this have real consequences for material science or chemistry?

It's difficult to gauge the actual impact from the hyperbole in the article (similar to discovery of black holes, etc).
So you hate the way you look in a photo. Now what?
> Things like monorepos with many static sites are comfortably in our wheelhouse.

> Especially when it comes to prototyping

That makes sense! You're definitely right that github pages does have added friction for mono-repos and also the sporadic projects I have.
This would be true if and only if GitHub allowed you to collaboratively review and modify the squashed commit message _as part of the approval_ process, a feature which I have been requesting from them ever since "squash and merge" became an option.
There was "Portable Native Client" aka. PNaCl. Users can't ship PNaCl apps themselves anymore (atleast via the store) since "Chrome Apps" died, but if you open the Terminal on a Chromebook you'll notice it still says "loading PNaCl client" so they certainly still use it internally.
Providing subsidies for people to live in rural areas is not a good thing. It's much more efficient for people to live in centralized locations. People in urban areas are almost always subsidizing people living in suburban or rural areas.
Definitely a much-needed area for development. However, having gone down the browser extension rabbit hole, I've largely shifted my focus to user scripts. Granted, there will always be a need for specialized browser extensions like ad blockers (uBlock[1]), keyboard shortcuts (Vimium-C[2]), and password managers (Bitwarden[3]).

That said, I find user scripts superior for most tasks, despite some lacking UI niceties. They are easier to share, use, and crucially, audit—be it in terms of scope, permissions, or code updates. Plus if Manifest V3 is any indicator, the future for browser extensions looks bleak. While I don't agree with this direction, it's probably for the best for the majority of users, like my mom.

Your effort is commendable; however, should you find yourself looking for a viable pivot in the future, I believe the user script space is primed for innovation and could offer a good alternative.

I couldn't agree more, but this is a discipline that is rare in my experience. With GitHub lacking fast forward merges, I've struggled to articulate why it's important.
Sorry, was half asleep when I read that and thought you meant the meat.

I don't know, I like it rather fine. I think it distributes the heat more evenly and results in a more pleasant burn. Now, it shouldn't be food-processor smooth. I did a batch in a vitamix once and didn't like that as much as from the mortar and pestle.
All this is probably true.

Only coming here to comment as someone in tech who did some informal comparisons during the height of the pandemic.

Probably the biggest thing Austin seemed to have going for it is the combo of tech+diversity+what seem to be outdoor activities. Lake Travis looked tempting. [1]

Houston probably has tech+diversity but there's no outdoor placemaking.

Dallas probably has some tech+some diversity+slightly more outdoor activities.

San Antonio/Hill country seems like it might have some placemaking but no Tech and less diversity.

The irony is that botnets often function as an automatic update: they break in through a vulnerability, often include a patch for said vulnerability, and then stay somewhat updated via their C&C server. Of course, this is all to prevent other botnets from coming in and stealing their devices away.

We had a WiFi camera get compromised. We put it on the internet - so it could get an update - and it got pwned before the update even finished downloading. The malware blocked the admin interface, but kept the camera feed running, presumably to minimize suspicion. As far as we can tell, the actual vuln was patched (some sort of dumb command injection in one of the many exposed endpoints), so there was also no way for us to get back in.
Makes me think of old terminals with speakers in the keyboard, to generate an extra little "click" e.g. https://youtu.be/RuZUPpmXfT0?feature=shared&t=343
What Is Media Criticism For?
In iOS Safari, I had them playing under my music, barely noticed, they are quite faint.

Then when I switched away to pause Pandora and get a better listen, they seemed to go silent too. But, when I reloaded the Klack site, they seemed to work again. FWIW.
Here's a thought. Your proposal is really to create an FCC Cybersecurity label, but why does it matter?

For a long time in the US since the 1960s, we had the private industry UL and their trademarked seal they enforced. The standards were quite rigorous and in response to many residential and commercial accidents, fires, and more. The problem is over time, the industry created ETL/Intertek to compete because of cost. They claim to be another standards testing body like UL but their actual standards are quite loose and verification looser. Now in 2023? Nobody cares anymore.

You have Amazon selling literal fire hazards for electrical equipment that no brick and mortar retailer in their right mind will sell without UL or ETL certification. The CPSC barely is able to make Amazon take down products, and the flood is immense.

I just don't see how a voluntary label will solve anything.

The single biggest problem with IoT devices is the black box, vendor-specific cloud platform nature. This causes privacy issues galore as well as requiring every manufacturer to reinvent the wheel to secure their devices, while also making huge quantities of ewaste when Random Manufacturer #484 goes out of business, taking their cloud with them.

How about instead, mandating that all IoT devices need to comply with an open standard? Customers would be free to connect their device to Siri or Alexa if they wanted, but by default the device just works with an open standard that you can control fully, hosted at home if desired.

It would also remove the cloud security onus from the manufacturer—they would fund the standards org, which would be responsible for the security of the interface.

We already have this concept for electricity, phones, networking. You don’t buy a “MA Bell” phone anymore or an “Edison-compatible” fan.

Likely Rockstar would counter sue for violating their original Copyright and the terms of use attached to them.

At best it would be a wash, there is a decent chance the damages for the countersuit would lead to a net loss.

Real wood furniture got bad / expensive.

Lots of decent mid level sheet steel and plastic furniture options now. Not to everyones taste, but they'll last decades + multiple moves.

Woods probably more sustainable, but access to nice / old quality wood isn't.
Apple and ARM have been crucial to each other's survival for three decades
I'm not sure why people think words are starting to change. "Almond milk" for example is a venerable term about 800 years old. I attribute this furor to a lack of English skills, but maybe there's a political angle as well, with people regurgitating the latest political rage.
To clarify, you can run standard linux apps in a linux VM with seamless file, wayland and X11 passtrough ("crostini"). Even nested virtualization works.

And you can run android apps in a android VM.
This is one of those cases where saying really shitty things is still not considered “legally” wrong.

In the real world, each would have had to declare $100 of income and pay the appropriate income tax. The more they eat, the more often money changes hands, the more tax income the government receives. Velocity of money. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_of_money
To many normal people the "from" field in an email means that it came from there.

I am wondering how they get the data back though, unless they demand it is faxed, or sent to another email address. (Or the person replying doesn't notice the different reply-to address.)
The teams I've worked on generally use a "copy the PR description into the commit message", which works well. And if there are oversights, the PR number is in the commit ID which is a link to the larger context.

The Power of Thinking About “The Thing After the Thing”
Problem: People are leading unfulfilled lives and reporting they are depressed.

My solution: Recenter your life around your family unit, do more physical activity, get off social media. Build a life worth living.

The solution we went with: Take some pills so you can manage the horror of your disconnected life devoid of meaning and purpose.

Problem: Energetic young boys are having trouble sitting in school for hours on end.

My solution: Focus more on hands on activities, bring back woodshop and metalshop, include more breaks for physical activity during the day.

The solution we went with: Get the boys so high on stimulants they can sit still like the girls.

It's easier (and more profitable) to feed people pills than to build a society that people are happy in so that's what we do, but hey the line went up!
Hey, I run a lot of our customer outreach and experience. There is some nuance to what is / isn't automated.

When people sign up, their email is shared with our customer experience team (combo of inbound sales reps, customer engineers, and support depending on what information is shared), and then that assigned individual reaches out manually AND puts you into what is a called a 'nurture' campaign that provides helpful information, updates on Cody, etc. Those are automated unless you specifically request to talk with someone. If / when someone wants to talk to Sourcegraph, a member of our GTM team (sales / customer engineering) reaches out.

If you can provide me with your email (DM it) I can look into what happened with you and get you the help / support you need.

Otherwise, I think someone on our end just dropped the ball. Sorry about that! It happens when there is a human in the process and it isn't 100% automated. To your larger point, we agree that having a real human to interact with is important to a great experience.

Please let us know how we can help you try and use Cody!
> Implicit in the whole Kickstarter experience from day #1 is that projects may fail.

To the extent that is the case, rewards shouldn't be dependent on success (or the project should be an independent business such that bankruptcy contains liability in the case of failure.)

Also, some Kickstarters are fully developed products from established firms for which the project goal and stretch goals are set around well-researched production costs.
It's just a matter of time till the existence of the k-hole get's confirmed.
The facts of that case are radically different from Musk's accusations.
Up until very recently, there was very little knowledge that pregnancy lasted nine months... even among the 'learned'. Old pregnancy manuals talk about pregnancies taking anywhere from a few months to many many months. Without ultrasound and HcG tests, there is very little indication a woman is pregant until she starts showing or feeling the baby (and even then, a new mother may not even notice until she's showing anyway).

As for fertility awareness, I don't believe the methods used prior to the modern day were super effective. Regardless, the knowledge was not present.

So I'll restate my claim. Up until the modern day, there was no such thing as trying for children. There were married couples engaging in socially sanctioned sex, which obviously leads to children. Or there were fornicators that we knew could have children, but was socially unacceptable, and few fornicators actually wanted children from their unions.

Separate hardware variants?
Rockstar owns the copyright, they can do whatever they want with their games.

It is rather odd however, and paints Rockstar in a very negative light as a trustworthy purveyor of binary distributed software. Do you want to receive l33t warez when paying for software?

I expect reproducible binaries produced by a controlled toolchain from a responsible developer. Linux distributions have higher standards for binaries they distribute for free ffs.
