Definitely wouldn't be worse as there will only be lead dust from erosion of the pellet in the barrel instead of additionally having lead/lead-compound vapor from the heat and chemical reactions.

But it's still a concern, so hands, arms, and face should definitely be washed after loading/shooting/cleaning. Extended firing sessions should be followed by a shower and clothes change.

Fortunately, the elemental lead in cast pellets/bullets is not very bioavailable, however it's still a good idea to minimize exposure.

I've looked at the CollegeBoard's engineering job listings before and they were far below market rates. Wonder if they're adequately investing in their system's security
We are still forcing students to use the same shitty Texas Instruments calculators with horrible screens, unacceptably convoluted interfaces, and criminally slow performance and power consumption due to these same standards bodies. Technology has been better than that for more than 20 years now. We’ve gotten to the point where current students can use the calculator their grandparent bought as a child. How will moving the SAT from a bubble sheet to a laptop change any of the real factors that contribute to this problem?
> Trudeau is a politician, he’s no saint. As such no stranger to lying or fabricating things,

This accusation IS causing him grief--right now. If Trudeau announced this, he perceives that A) announcing this gives him an advantage somehow or B) not announcing it will cause him more grief that announcing it.

Now, it could be that Trudeau is a complete and utter dolt--I haven't been tracking Candian politics particularly strongly. It could also be that Modi somehow really pissed Trudeau off.

However, successful politicians don't generally spout lines that can be factually refuted or that can be verfied to cause allies problems. Trumpistan is the exception, not the rule.
One consequence of giving everything a discrete price is that it drives customers to consume all services they pay for completely.

If you say "I can take two checked bags, it's included in the fare", I'll probably only take one because I only need one for the duration of my trip. But I'll feel good knowing if I decide I see something awesome while on my vacation, I can take it home without too much care for penalty fees.

But if you say "Each checked bag is $50", people will pack everything up to and including an entire 1996 Toyota Corolla into their free carry-ons, exhaust the available space, and the airline has to say to the economy class late-boarding group 'everyone after this line has to check their bag anyway, but we won't charge you the $50."

As an added plus, the price awareness reduces the quality of the travel experience-- you end up asking "can I fit another souvenir in my little free bag", and often deciding against it, because it's insanity to spend $50 in bag fees for a $10 book.
I’m convinced most of their products are a scam. You can’t buy security after you’ve done a shitty job engineering everything
If you don't mind me asking since you're here: will you be implementing ForgeFed in Gitness [0]? My sense is that federation is our best hope for breaking GitHub's network effects, and I'd love to see more projects like yours join the protocol.

Modern octane boosters for classic cars and bikes use other types of cylinder head lubricants.
To an extent, this is true, but take it too far and you begin dismissing education and well grounded logic and believing it to be equivalent to ignorant and irrational thought. Logical thinking and analysis is a skill you learn and get better at after all.

The trick (which is very hard) is to recognise when one of your own arguments is one of convenience, emotion, illogical etc. And not be biased towards logical fallacies against others.

But this does not mean that your average person on hacker news doesn't tend towards better educated and more rational discussion than large amounts of the public.
It also means hacker news tends towards specific blindspots, sure.
I feel that a sign of being a good programmer is recognizing you are not a good programmer.

I am a high functioning depressive, or possibly not depressed at all, I think I am uniquely qualified to speak to the psychology of non-self deception while still being a "high performance" individual, especially compared to my co-hort of "defective children".

I was born with heart defects, so during my formative years I was on restricted activities and was constantly confronted with the futility of life, the imminence of death, my memories start at 3, in the days leading up to my first surgery.. for my second procedure at 5 I was scared of not waking back up, by 10 I would wake up from anesthesia disappointed I didn't die on the table, I was happiest in the oblivion and real life had so much struggle. I knew no peers and almost no adults who understood what it was like, much less people willing to talk about it in any serious way. Thought stopping platitudes were the best I could get from most adults, more scared of even talking about death than I was of the thing itself.

I pursued religion and even went to seminary, but all the God/Religious concepts we know about really are just disappointing, unhelpful, pastiche or frankly evil at core (Jainism being a strange exception in my mind, even though the common cultural expression of Jainism shares many of the same issues I have with Hinduism).

There was a time window in my past when I decided to generally "overshare" my internal thoughts and I stopped after a close friend ended up flippantly saying "well of course, you're obsessed with death.", that's not really the energy I want to put out there.

I think people fight very hard to ignore death, that's why existential moments find them in bed at night or when they are alone and quiet with their thoughts.

I've been waiting to die for as long as I can remember, my relationship with death is radically inverted so my existential thoughts are as well.

If you really soak in this futility, if this sense of "Everything is meaningless and transient" is inculcated in you early enough... unbidden existential thoughts transforms from... "Nothing matters", to "What if everything matters?", I don't know, I don't know enough about reality to "know for sure" that nothing matters. I'm just trying to discover as much stuff as I can and promote environments and attitudes that keep civilization stable enough for us to continue our species level rocket pace of discovery and inquiry.

If I was born anywhere else or any earlier I wouldn't exist.

I'm just curious to see what happens, what's ultimately true, if we ever figure it out, if we figure it out in my lifetime, if entities and causality are what we think they are now... and I'm going to kick around as long as I can to find out what happens. I think truly embracing intellectual humility is key to happiness and pursuit of life in a world that is -- as experienced -- unjust, random and capricious.
> Absolutely. There's a lot of great open source software.

>...but that's not 'open source winning', that's just 'people like free stuff they don't have to pay for or make any effort to get'.

That's the most cynical take I have ever read about opensource software. I think you're measuring the success of opensource software by only the amount of software that you have to buy. IMO, that's not fair. Does the software that you buy today exist without opensource software? In a hypothetical case where your commercial software was built without any opensource software, do you think the price of that software would be the same as it is today?
> Minor point - is first class 2x only?

I think the biggest problem with the terminology is that domestic (US) First is often hardly comparable to international Business Class, but more like European regional Business, which is more often than not just the lack of a middle seat.

The large US airlines even have different terms for their international Business offerings: United Polaris, American Flagship, and Delta One.
"That model was more holistic than a multiple-choice test, but also prone to subjectivity and bias—and only possible, in part, because far fewer children received a formal education."

"If the epoch of multiple-choice tests is truly ending, the assessments won’t necessarily be missed. Not only is the format inherently reductive—bubble-in question-and-answer forms have also been prone to bias."

So all formats are biased.
It's also worth noting from the linked docs that crun was added as an option in OpenShift. runc is still the default container runtime, and which runtime to use is customizable on a per-MachineConfigPool basis[0]. Cluster admins have the ability to specify node groups that have application workloads requiring the performance of crun to use it.

> OpenShift Container Platform uses CRI-O as the container engine and runC or crun as the container runtime. ->The default container runtime is runC.<- Both container runtimes adhere to the Open Container Initiative (OCI) runtime specifications.

As for Rust-written runtimes, there is another project in the Containers GitHub namespace called youki[1] that is attempting to do just that.

Vox, always shillin' for illogic. Hahah

I thought that's what you were doing, intuitively, and I wasn't attacking you. I know how it can feel that way. It's more like a jumping off point for other commenters to hop onto, a group conversation if you will, but the threaded nature does make it look like a direct challenge/reply to you.

You know you can't be sorry for other people's confusion tho, right? That might be some semantics for you! :) haha

Have a good day and thanks for sharing this interesting ref!
The way that multiple (I counted 4) articles of theirs talked about it as though it was a report I was expecting a deeper analysis but they just presented keywords pulled from privacy policies and extrapolated.

The tone used was also oddly casual and blog-like for an important topic ('ugh', 'yikes', 'wtf', liberal use of exclamations—even double exclamations), apart from hypothetical scenarios which don't help ground their points. In the AMA they admit they're unaware what various aspects mean yet the articles present findings emphatically.

Mozilla recently published[1] a page about how they had four lawyers and three 'privacy experts' analyze a Microsoft service agreement and yet the page contains zero comments or analysis from them, merely containing two paragraphs that the conclusion was indecisive.

I do appreciate Mozilla bringing attention to such topics, though for all the money and effort they put in getting people to analyze things I kinda hoped their articles would be more substantive than what a reader can similarly determine.

The term "whitewashing", like many uses of the color "white" has nothing to do with race. Rather, it is a metaphor referencing a type of paint.

Could you provide some sort of status report about what Gitness actually is? According to the Git repo it looks like it started Feb 2, 2014, and Brad Rydzewski did the vast majority of the work on the project (e.g., 100x more than anybody else), and is still involved now. I downloaded it and tried it out (which is VERY easy to do), and the actual software seems to be a Typescript frontend and Go backend, with Monaco for a code editor, and nice diff view. I tried importing a very large repository, and it took a while, but did fully work, and browsing the repo after import was fast.
It's Apache-2.0 licensed (thanks!). Was it open source from the beginning?
They do, it's free, and their developer website is shockingly nice.

It's surprising that this isn't in a "newer" part of the image format; Huffman compression has been around for over 70 years, Canonical Huffman for a few decades less, but even JPEG uses Huffman. This is a decades-old technology that should've had the bugs worked out of its many implementations by now and there are also countless articles about how to implement it.

I've read the JPEG spec (and written a decoder) before, so I decided to look at the WebP spec: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/webp_lossless_...

The important information is in section 6. The first thing I notice is that it's not very clear how the codes are constructed, unlike the JPEG one (which actually has a ton of very readable flowcharts on the process), but it appears to be similar to LZH/deflate(zlib). The "specification" looks more like a selected set of source code fragments with accompanying descriptions.

Perhaps I should try writing a WebP decoder too, having already done GIF, JPEG, and PNG, but based on the above "specification", it's almost as if they don't want you to.
Something I find sad about this is that many people really don’t know how to think about themselves in that context; in this way we aren’t a someone to other people so much as a something.

I know this isn’t a firm rule, but there are many people in my life who I’m certain wouldn’t have a good grasp of how they fit into their family and community beyond fairly superficial platitudes.

Maybe this has been true in the past as well. I wouldn’t know.
> Web technologies are far and away the best I've used for creating user interfaces.

Which other ones did you try? Because web technologies weren't even designed for creating user interfaces.
>It's not that complicated. The closed-source software wouldn't be where they are today if it weren't from the open-source code they built upon.

That's not open-source code winning. It's closed-source (and SaaS and closed off web backends) winning, by taking advantage of open source.

It's like a bunch of nature lovers buying land in some idillyc place, and dreaming of a sustainable way of life there, and getting media coverage, and then some real estale moguls coming in, taking advantage of all the talk about that place in the media, to buy, raze off all the trees and greenery, and build some huge crappy suburb of identical houses and chain shops with huge success.

"GreedyRealEstate LTD wouldn't be where it is today without those nature lovers"

Sure. But it's the opposite of them winning.
Maybe, but probably not. Postgrest still needs to talk to Postgres over the Postgres wire protocol, which isn't possible with wasm in the browser because there is no raw socket API. However, I'm sure there are some cool hacks you could do like running postgres-wasm "locally" (also within the browser) and having postgres talk to it. You'd still need to modify Postgrest to change how it speaks to Postgres, though.

This is also assuming you're running the WebAssembly in the browser. If you're running it in something like WASI, you might have access to a raw socket API and then maybe it's a different story.
Given the audience (mostly techy people), it seems to be a love it or hate it thing.
Not Armenian, but, e.g., Bulgarian has a distinct name for the relation of two husbands of (not in-law) sisters. In English, that's just one of the "brother in-law" cases.

On the whole, Bulgarian has far more such relationship words than English.
Similar for me - anything but the lowest setting was headache-inducing, and the lowest setting usually just made it fuzzy. But only in games, the test screens in the settings worked fine.
Yes, I too prefer 1st party bloat.
that's why credit score/agency and other finance sector companies have so many data leaks. not paying top dollar for top talent and just not a high priority.
Good.

Also, YouTube demonetising someone who has not been convicted of - or even charged with, at this point - anything whatsoever is wildly inappropriate & should likely be illegal as being, essentially, a form of materially harmful libel.

When ever this notion comes up i cant help but wonder how good crashing and burning thanks to ignoring reality is for your mental health.

Just because stuff isnt nice doesnt mean its safe to ignore. Its worth mentioning that dealing with negative thoughts and experiences is part of how we grow as people. Its why Bambis mother got shot in a Disney movie. Because sooner or later, kids have to deal with harsh stuff. Unfortunately adults do too.

Their example, a parent with covid in a hospital, is a good one. This is serious stuff you need to come to terms with. If that seems overly harsh or depressing, i find Stanley Kubricks words about the indifference of the universe quite helpful. (Starting from "If life is so purposeless, do you feel it’s worth living?")
https://www.themarginalian.org/2012/07/26/stanley-kubrick-pl...

In the end all we can do is decide how we want to deal with reality. Unless we want to later deal with the consequences of not having done so.
> Aha, so they get paid the same, regardless of if their research works or not.

I don't know. Is that speculation on your part, or something you figured out?

> But who would determine if a company had made use of a certain research paper? What would the company gain, by keeping track and reporting back? Maybe more good research

> (but I'd guess few companies would be that much forward-looking?)

That's why I am saying we should look what real companies are actually doing already in reality. We might have to leave our armchairs for that.

I miss running Photon on QNX, which, being a hard real-time OS, did have upper bounds on timing for many operations. Photon was a GUI for near real time interfaces for hard real time programs. It was far smoother than what we see today.

* No paging. Entire program in memory at all times. Although it was possible to put a paging library inside an application and let it manage its own paging, which was done for gcc.

* A real time CPU dispatcher. Real time priorities were strictly preemptive. Unblock a higher priority task, it starts now, not when the dispatcher gets around to it.

* The usual test for a hard real time OS is that you have an interrupt routine that senses an external pin. It unblock a user level task when the pin goes high. The user level task turns on an output pin. You hook up a scope and a square wave generator, and watch the latency. If there are outlier values on the scope, something is broken. One implication is that stuff below the OS, such as anything running in system management mode after boot, has to be eliminated. It cannot be allowed to steal cycles.

* While real time work is going on, you can still run compiles and web browsers. They get preempted. I was impressed that that worked. Our real time application had a hardware stall timer, and if the commands coming out were late, a relay tripped and everything shut down.

So, it's absolutely possible to do this. Downsides:

* You're way out of the mainstream.

* You're going through the general case every time. Fast paths are unwanted.

* Everything is always on. Power consumption is constant. No CPU slowdowns, no sleep modes, no battery saving. This is just fine when you're running a rolling mill, and 99+% of the power is driving the heavy equipment. Not so good when you're running a credit card terminal. Battery powered devices cannot run well in this mode.
You don't need to dwell on it either - and that's the issue, most people dwell on it, because they're taught that all feelings are good and valid, and should be explored, my own experience says the opposite, not all feelings deserve exploration, and too much navel gazing is bad for ones mental health.
Just left my first ever review just to voice my annoyance at this forced and pointless change.
I recently moved from Piascore to ForScore. I still haven't got used to the gestures, annotations, settings and setlists, and I haven't found a way to set the UI to have the note names (Do, Re, Mi...), but otherwise I like it so far.

You are right on the horsepower, might also be worth getting a refurbished one instead. But I've ended up using my iPad for way more than just reading music so I'd get the new one if I was shopping atm.

All native toolkits are better to work with for UI than HTML+DOM.

To paraphrase: saying HTML+DOM is great because it works everywhere is like saying anal sex is the best because it works on everyone.

Eventually, in any significantly complex application, you will have to work around the DOM. Or kick to rolling your own controls because HTML doesn't have what you need. React, Angular, Vue, Bootstrap, Tailwind, Material, the others, they all exist because HTML+DOM is not made for what it has been forced to do.

"Centering a div" is a meme for a reason. You don't have those problems with native UI.
I've never thought about the power consumption of TI calculators. I had an 85 and I recall changing the batteries occasionally, but not very often. I also didn't find the performance speed to be a hindrance during HS, including on the SATs.

What did you use your calculator for that it was noticeably too slow for? How often did you have to replace batteries? I get that there are newer technologies out there, and perhaps it would be a genius startup idea to make a device that's just like a TI, but using modern chips.
