The defensiveness is justified because off late the Western media has run a number of articles on India, noting autocratic backsliding and what not, with no evidence and just opinions. India let those slide, and those voices have only got louder.

They are not going to let this one go with no answer.

To a western nation this makes no difference. But to a country that is trying to show the world that it is a responsible member in the globe, these kind of facts free accusations are pretty damaging.

The problem with India is the attitude of sheer apathy. They should have countered the earlier remarks as well, then maybe Trudeau would have thought twice before making these charges as casually as he did. Maybe he would have spent more effort convincing the Indian counterparts why he thought the killers were linked to the government.
Jetbrains has shellcheck integrated in their editors:)

I bet vscode can do the same.
So, the last time I used ansible, which was quite a while ago to be fair, there was a builtin way to install packages with apt on the target system. You could add packages to a list to be installed and that would work. But removing them from that "declared state" would not remove them on the target system on the next playbook run. You would have to add an explicit uninstall command. And that is where ansible failed to be declarative. Did that change in the meantime?

Ansible might provide idempotence for the builtin things (although I would argue it doesn't, at least not on a bit-by-bit level, since you can't pin down specific versions of package repositories and stuff like that), but to be declarative it would need to provide a 1-to-1 mapping from declared state to running system state. And if what I described above is still the case, then it simply does not do that.

In my experience, ansible tries to build a declarative interface to an imperative mode of system management, which works to some extent, but breaks down in more complex cases because building this declarative interface can only be a leaky abstraction without the right foundation.
On the political note of the article: yes, the world is fucked up and it is exhausting to only read fucked up news. I personally believe that disconnecting from reality and becoming 'apolitical' implies giving up on humanity; that is giving up on your kids, nephews and the children of your best friends. No need to change the world, a small change in your community is more than enough. Specially as coders, what we build can impact and influence thousands of people all over the world. Sometimes I wonder if things would be different if we all invested 3-5% of our time in supporting our communities and engaging in some form of activism.
This line of reasoning hold for pretty much any online advice. You don't close your comments with "I'm not your DBA" or "please consult your own paid certified C++ developer" or whatever

I don't think once you pay a lawyer their IQ jumps 20 points and they're necessarily more correct than crowdsourced information. Doctors and lawyers arent somehow infallible once hired
Anything stealing focus should be a crime. It's the reason I use i3 as well. When I use Mac OS X sometimes, things just popping to the front to offer updates or whatever makes me want to just drop the laptop in the thrashcan. Who comes up with crap like that?
That's curious, please expand on this. Do you really mean it performed a search for different thing? If so - have you figured how it differed?

Or did it just have to perform a non-cached search and thus not only excluded said domains, but could also reorder the other results based on the current relevance, rather than cached relevance from the past that is being served to everyone else who doesn't exclude said domains?
While I don't doubt the truth of this story, I wonder, how easy would it be for a platform to make up an interaction like this? Let's say I was making a free speech platform, and it was relatively unknown. If I claim I got a letter from the government asking me to do something anti-free speech, I could make a big deal about how I'm going to ignore that. Even if I made up that letter, would the government ever publicly state that the letter is false and they never sent it?

Thank endless lobbying that make legally mandated monopolies a thing in this arena. They did it with phone companies too.

It's not "just Comcast" by happenstance. It's "just Comcast" by legal regulation.

Qutebrowser is about to turn 10 y.o
After getting a Garmin watch I’ve noticed that any drinking wreaks havoc on my body, and heavy drinking lingers for a long time. I’m getting the same readings when I’ve had a bit to drink from heart rate variability, sleep quality and such as when I’m really sick. It’s started to push me to drinking less, but I’ll never quit entirely. Life is too short and my mental health enjoys a glass every now and then.
I mean, LadyBird is extremely young and coming along at a pretty decent pace. Though, to be fair, the main author does have some extensive experience in the realm.

I, personally, would love to see some alternative engines to the monoculture of Blink and it's WebKit cousin, other than just Gecko/Quantum. Something to take the place of what KHTML used to have before being gobbled up into WebKit; or just another (ideally, open source) choice to experiment on.
We do - we have lenses which basically search subsets of the web (and you can make your own). Academic is a default lens :)

Open Source and the CRA: It Will Not Work
Indeed, don't drink beer and wine. Don't eat meat, just eat bugs instead! Don't eat white rice, oh wait, don't eat brown rice instead! Don't eat gluten! Don't eat dairy because it was not suppose to be this way after infancy.

Jesus, where is the line. I'm tired of other people to tell me what to eat and drink on a weekly basis.
The headline boils down to:

> "I don’t think that everyone who is drinking, even in moderation, needs to stop drinking urgently," says Dr. Manson. But if you do drink regularly, it might be a good idea to cut back. Also, if you’re drinking expressly because you’ve been told it protects your heart, you should stop.

Also, the following paragraph is unsurprising in more than one way.

> In addition, the WHF noted that much of the past research on alcohol and heart health consisted of observational studies — not the more reliable randomized controlled trials. When randomized trials were conducted, they failed to find a heart benefit from drinking alcohol

Isn't there sort of an implication here that Criminally Open-Source ai will win?
As a user of clickhouse since 2018 I'm fully aligned with the content of this article. This technology is one of the best I've been using in my career.

The choice of clickhouse for a new project in my company has always been a no-brainer, but the recent move from clickhouse.inc to a closed source version has made this choice less straightforward.

I can’t believe this, I have been monitoring the page every week for two years. It felt like this would never get released.

Finally!
I think you are mistaken here. No doubt England produced literature in French, but in France proper the trouvères were active from the late 11th century, writing poetry and plays in Old French, and a cycle of the life of the Saints probably goes back to the 10th century.
My company has 500k+ "contacts", but we rarely send emails. It seems to me like your pricing can't work for me, so I'll stick with Brevo/SendInBlue until you decide to change that pricing.
Not every start up has to grow to a bazillion dollars, you know. There is a space for companies that are only worth a "few" dozen million dollars targeting a rich and sizeable niche of power users.
You are thinking of BSD, which is far more stable than Linux for servers etc.
In everyday speech you generally do not try to be this specific, but if you wanted to (e.g. recounting family history to a doctor or talking about the relationship between your parents and granparents) you could use them to be more specific in a clear way.

I agree that almost every use of farfar should be simply translated as grandmother.
> You seem to be suggesting that humans are capable of perceive objective truth for non trivial things.

I believe that for situations where a single human has enough information and ability to ascertain the truth, most humans deliberately will not make a beeline for the truth. They sort of veer off to the side towards a half truth that better suits their situation. None of this is a conscious choice though.

Self deception is completely orthogonal to our ability to ascertain the actual truth. As I said even if we were magically gifted this ability, most choose not to use that ability.

Of course this quality lives on a gradient, some people are really good at self deception, others are really bad at it.
Your take on desktop Linux is quite accurate, but Windows feels less QA'd than Linux to me nowadays. Windows will give me a popup begging for a reboot, then when I reboot it asks for another reboot. For months there was a bug where the settings window would become tiny and resizing didn't work. The Microsoft Teams "get started" window takes on the order of 30 seconds to close - that is I click the X button, no immediate reaction, and then it closes half a minute later.

It's not reasonable, those statements are liability for you and the company you represent. Hiring laws are quite strict of discrimination.
Definitely yes to community engagement. Shovelling the snow outside the house of an elderly neighbour is good because it's actually doing something.

Fixed width fonts have a special purpose. They're designed to fill that purpose, not to be optimal for other things.

There's an age-old debate of how much "good taste" is subjective, but in this particular case, it's someone hammering a nail in with a wrench. Some will be bothered, others not, but it's definitely the wrong tool for the job.

The example of not liking lights in certain places isn't a very good one. It's an attempt to elide all "things people don't like" into subjectivity, but there are actually things that are better and worse. You would agree that website design can be better or worse, right? And that some people would have a better eye for good or bad design? With me so far? I'm saying you're probably not one of the people out on the end of the spectrum that's best able to recognize good and bad in design, but I hope you recognize that good and bad design exist, and that people vary in their ability to recognize it.
Every single phone in existence running Android blanks the screen.

It can be hidden by frankly disgusting animations where they do things like squish a screenshot of your current screen to hide it, but the literal UI is being tore down on every rotation.

As you can imagine that's a pain in the ass to deal with on the app side, and until relatively recently the framework did a poor job providing support for handling it all. It's a very common cause of app crashes too.

(To really get technical, apps can opt out of this... but doing so means you'd need to reimplement the entire view stack and rotation yourself, which doesn't happen for anything but video games)
Very much related. I recently stumbled upon this excellent YouTube channel in which he explains modular forms https://www.youtube.com/@PeakMathLandscape/videos
Wait a second. A private link means that a service endpoint is public so a part of your traffic goes through the Internet, which is supposed to be insecure (even if you have encryption in transit?), so you don't want to do that and they will happily route your traffic internally so it is not exposed to the bad Internet - for a fee. All these VPC Endpoints etc. cost money and you are charged by the our. I don't think IPv6 would change anything here, they would find a way to charge customers for "security" anyway.
Same. It wrecks my sleep the first night and makes me bloated and slightly off the pace mentally for the following 2-3 days. I only have a drink once or twice a year now as the after effects just aren't worth it to me.
I want to find out where lawyers hang out online and if they close ever sentence/post with "I am not your lawyer"
Honestly, although it's a heavy task, I don't think it's something worth being dissuaded from. I would argue that, in some ways at least, it's easier to do so today than before since we actually have a comprehensive standard now.

That all to say, yes it's a tall order. But it's not the most impossible thing for a small team of dedicated people to do.
Specifically, since performance is crucial for this type of work, it should be written in WUFFS. WUFFS doesn't emit bounds checks (as Java does and as Rust would where it's unclear why something should be in bounds at runtime) it just rejects programs where it can't see why the indexes are in-bounds.

https://github.com/google/wuffs

You can explicitly write the same checks and meet this requirement, but chances are since you believe you're producing a high performance piece of software which doesn't need checks you'll instead be pulled up by the fact the WUFFS tooling won't accept your code and discover you got it wrong.

This is weaker than full blown formal verification, but not for the purpose we care about in program safety, thus a big improvement on humans writing LGTM.
Who will give them the compute? It requires million dollar clusters to make any progress.
Being someone's DBA does not imply certain legal status in the way being someone's lawyer does. It can be a real headache for a lawyer if someone they are not representing claims that they are representing them (which happens, a lot: funnily enough a lot of people seeking legal advice online are really not at all familiar with how this works), so it's standard boilerplate to clarify that if there's any potential cause for confusion.
That's how most linux distros work, but it also leads to nasty diamond dependency problems
Agreed. It confuses me why loud people (who mostly seem to be Android users) push continually for this. I'm content with my walled garden, as most iPhone users seem to be. If I wasn't, I'd use Android. And publishers taking a cut is normal in every industry. I don't see the problem.

Thanks! I won't be too specific because of a certain competitor looming on the horizon, but so far my plan is to focus on improving DX.
I don't understand your point about it being unusable as a free user.

I only upgraded to a paid tier about a year ago, before that I was using for about one and a half years for free with 0 issues.

Notifications never arrive late (at least on the IOS app)

Maybe it's because I'm not a heavy E-mail "Power user", but I see most of these as non-issues (this depends on your use case, of course)

Another huge pro for me, as a resident of Germany, the data stays in Germany and is protected under our strong data security laws.

I do have to agree, the search was kind of sucky for a while. But imo it's improved a lot is also pretty useable now.
As a non-drinker, it’s bizarre that there is this rather prominent belief from others that life would be insufferable without alcohol.
What about alcohol replacements? Would Alcarelle be better? Maybe the alcohol industry can be disrupted. Good VC project.
Slightly funny when an institution such as Harvard still doesn't understand how extrapolating conclusions from a single variable when dealing with a complex system is janky at best and most of the time worthless

The Ramones were "punk" because their primary songwriter Dee-Dee was a male prostitute, the very definition of "punk."
Who says a life without (or even just with less) alcohol is boring? There’s millions of things to do besides drink. There’s thousands of hobbies and sports to enjoy. There’s vast areas of natural and cultural beauty to explore. There are countless cities and cultures to visit, cuisines to taste, music to enjoy.

Seriously, people who think that drinking is the only thing to do are the boring ones.

I spoke with a lawyer earlier tonight. Basically, there are no next steps for me. The next steps for them are to send targeted discovery requests for whatever it is they think I might have in relation to the case, and possibly ask me to testify in a deposition.
"My HTML? If you want it, I'll grant it! Search on! All the world had to offer, I left in that place"

"And so hackers set sights on the HyperText Line, in pursuit of their dreams. The world has truly entered a Great Browsers Era!"

After years of believing that browsers were an insurmontable mountains, more and more people are believing we can do it. My 2 seconds analysis tells me that we're seeing this not because new browsers makers want to emulate and compete with the existing mammoths, but because they want to change the web. I'm loving it.
> Ah yes, the childish name calling since you have nothing intelligent left to say after debunking your denial.

You've debunked nothing. You've shown a few companies that jumped on the hype train (well, onto a well departed hype train) and are pretending that NFTs (or blockchains in general) are at all usable for ticket sales.

I expect both Ticketmaster and Sports Illustrated to quietly shut down their NFTs sometime next year.

Yo want an intelligent discussion? Then riddle me this:

- event organisers are centralised entities

- artists are centralised entities

- tickets are checked and validated by centralised entities at point of entry

- superfans etc. are tracked by centralised entities (such as streaming services), and it can't be done any other way (because people listen to songs released through centralised entites, and go to events provided by centralised entities)

- NFT assets themselves are hosted by centralised entities

- specific events (such as Tailor Swift hosting superfans at her home) require rigorous KYC checks performed by centralised entities

- fan communities do not need NFTs to exist (and have existed since time immemorial)

And that's before we get into the hundreds of use cases in ticketing that "we sell one ticket to one person for one event" doesn't even begin to cover.

But sure, do tell me how NFTs are so extremely suitable unlike anything else we had before and how companies jupmed on the departing NFT train because NFTs are suitable.
Yep.

Unless they're mounted absolutely flush to the existing roof with no way for the ind to get underneath then a solar panel is large flat sailcloth that gets hurricane force winds underneath it and then exerts an upward pulling | tearing force on the anchor points.

Depending on those, you can see some serious roof destroying damage (followed by a rain soaked interior).

Or, extra effort (money, time, resources) needs to be expended from the outset making the setup cyclone proof (err, sorry, hurricane .. it's cyclones for us her in tropical Australia).
OP here. Thanks for the pos/neg/neutral comments everybody. Some remarks:

Yes, there are a lot of browsers out there where I can contribute to which would be more efficient. But that would result in just a few browsers instead of a lot of browsers. I'm all for the last one, as this would give people options.

This IS a pet project. I never told anyone otherwise. I would start writing it even when I wasn't fed up with the tech industry. But I get angry about not being able to do anything about anything. And this is my way of trying to do something about it. It's the best I can do.

I think this project will not result in an actual browser. That's not why i'm writing this. I want people to see my code, either laugh at it, or get some own idea's to make things better. For instance, I LOVE the whatwg site where the whole html5 tokenizer and parser algorithms are step by step described. This means it should be easy(?) enough for anyone to write their own html5 parser. What would happen if google and/or microsoft decide to create their own custom html5 (html5, ghtml) as a closed format? Who would be able to stop them when they have such a market share?

I want to start for scratch - BECAUSE i want to know more about the underlying technical challenges.
It's l'Académie Française, there are no language purity laws, English words are not banned in France, the Académie offers recommendations that the civil service generally follows, and Québec is generally far purer about the French language than France is.
What's annoying about drinking less often is that when I do drink (something like one big night with work people every 6-8 weeks) it absolutely destroys me the next day in a much worse way than my colleagues who drink multiple times a week. So I'm being punished for being a less frequent drinker!
Yeah, what's next, to tell people to stop smoking, remove asbestos from houses and not let kids play with mercury any more? /s

A good question to ask is what each person considers drinking in moderation:

The WHF considers moderation as 1 standard beverage per day (for a woman). This is the basis of their recommendations.

Their other definitions include: A woman is considered a heavy drinker if she has eight or more drinks per week, or a binge drinker if she has more than four drinks in one sitting.

So over to the HN forums:

What do you consider "moderate drinking"?
policy is forced on you, advertisements make suggestions. one is communism, the other is free market. if you value individual freedom, you should care about these things.
I agree. I totally fail to see the attraction of alcoholic drinks. They're grown-up drinks, which means that they taste vile and make you feel sick.
