BVO was one of the weirder ingredients in Mountain Dew for many many years, until it was finally reformulated around ~2020.

Then they released Mountain Dew Throwback, which was subsequently rebranded Mountain Dew Real Sugar, and that variant still contained BVO. It sounds like they might retire it this year, perhaps because of the proposed ban on BVO?

Khan is fighting the best fight she can. The problem is she's woefully inexperienced in so many domains critical to the job.

I'm increasingly convinced her hire was a deceitful compromise to placate the base, because she says the right things, as well as corporate interests, because she can't follow through on them. I've seen two big law firms tell companies to pursue risky mergers; while there is a higher chance they'll be challenged, there is a much higher chance those challenges will fail.
That is entirely fair. But back to the topic -- some of us building network services etc would like options, and not to be tied to a specific async runtime. E.g. I was looking at what it would take to move my code over to monoio. Or anything else. Not going to happen, because too many 3rd party deps mandate tokio.

That's not a good situ. I'd as soon rip out async, and optimize the concurrent multithreaded situation myself than be tied down that way.

FWIW my day job is on embedded Linux, small systems that sit in tractors. We don't do async Rust. It's all actor-style communicating components. And it works pretty much fine.

> Strawman. I never said spying should be "stopped wholesale". Never anything even remotely close to that, in fact. I'm not responsible for defending a position you completely fabricated.

I think this is more in response to me than to you; one might correctly infer from my posts here that I think that a significant majority of espionage activity is morally wrong and should be stopped.

That's just a perennial difficulty in having a multi-way conversation.
I'm all in favor of progressive property taxes than ratchet up with the more properties you own. Generational home ownership is a good thing, and blanket taxing everyone basically ensures that poorer people who inherit properties can't afford to stay in them when prices go up.
Well, the simple fact that if they don't, they literally have no reason to exist. It's not so much a moral question, so much as that this was the decided policy when the smaller units chose to join together into a larger one. It's moral because that's the decision the people made when they joined together.

There are various names for the concept over higher-over-lower power in a democracy -- supremacy, preemption, paramountcy.

If smaller units want to accomplish things together that can't override their individual sovereignty, then they sign treaties, form alliances, and groups -- like NATO or NAFTA and so forth. The thing that distinguishes a grouping that makes an actual state is precisely the fact that it can strike down the laws of lower organizational units when they conflict.

Now, nobody's claiming this power is unlimited -- that would be fascism. There are still rights that exist precisely to limit state-level power. But the general principle of supremacy/preemption/paramountcy still exists.

Ask HN: Resources for woodworking fundamentals including design
Woodworking seems to be a popular hobby amongst HN users so this seems like an appropriate place to ask. Hopefully if this question receives some good responses others will benefit too.

I am looking for good introductory resources for basic woodworking. Ideally this would include the basics of design (e.g. different joints, etc). Ideally this would be a book - though suggestions of online resources would also be appreciated.

For context, I have a nephew that has a lot of free time on his hands, hasn't fared well in the education system so isn't ready to move into tertiary education, but is very capable when it comes to working on anything mechanical/hands-on.

I'd like to encourage him to get started on a productive path. I'm sure that if he were to make something that others appreciate enough to pay for it would be invaluable for his sense of self worth and - quite frankly - help keep him out of trouble (he's had his fair share).

I've broached the subject with him and he seems keen so I'm prepared to help him get started by pointing him in the right direction and providing him with the basic tools and resources necessary. If he commits to it - which I'm pretty sure he will - I'd even help him find prospective customers.

I'm not suggesting that he throw himself into making immaculately finished furniture here. I'd like to suggest that he get started by designing and making custom sized planter boxes for the many apartment dwellers in the area with a small courtyard or balcony. Ideally I'd like to see him come up with a design that lends itself to flat-packing and easy assembly - hence the interest in resources that cover the basics of design and not just the practice of woodworking.

Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.
They say 12,500 years ago the Sahara once had rivers everywhere and it was green and verdant. That there once was a massive river flowing along the Atlas mountains on the southern side to what we know as Mauretania. Was that where Atlantis located? Because with that massive river on the southern side of the mountains and the Atlantic and Mediterranean on the northern side it would have been a big fucking island.
They don't have to, every fiber just needs to move 1/10th of a millimeter in completely different directions for text to turn into complete nonsense. As for "it's not like"... that's literally why we use braided cables, that's exactly what they do near the connector over time =)

(or any other place that bends frequently, so for cables that get coiled and tossed into a bag and then uncoiled and used a lot, that's basically "the entire cable")
>what are the tropes that characterize the genre? Stepped pyramids? Chocolate? Obsidian blades?

I suspect that the goal of authorship within this genre is expression through authentic cultural identity rather than the employment of a reductionist stereotypes. I mean, cyberpunk is more than orientalist fetishism and 1980s technology, is it not?

>The only two recommendations for the genre are one novel, and one collection of short stories that includes other -punk genres

The article does specifically claim not to provide a comprehensive list of examples, and that the genre is relatively new.

Also, I counted four recommendations: The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine, The Jade Bones (Book 2 of the Age of the Seventh Sun) by Lani Forbes, The Witch Owl Parliament (Clockwork Curandera #1) by David Bowles and Raúl the Third, colour by Stacey Robinson, lettering by Damian Duffy and Once caras del punk: Antología de relatos by Okami Maresco, Dean Wyes, Hannelore Adler Gailwain, Diego J. Sañudo, Kimara Louise, Vianey Medina, and others. A couple of those are the first books in a series. Is that not enough?
Core Web Vitals aren’t a standard that sites need to adopt, in the sense you seem to mean. They’re a set of (mostly performance) metrics which quantify specific aspects of a website each with some presumed impact on user experience.

Older content doesn’t need any particular action taken to be measured on these metrics, and in many cases may actually perform rather well (based on certain assumptions about said older content).

That Google may (and often does) rank older content poorly is definitely a concern in its own right, but it’s probably not a concern relevant to CWV.

The problem (this time) isn't that they try to deny your title to the property, it's that you sell the property and they freeze your account with the money in it and now the burden is on you to prove that your parents acquired it lawfully, which you have no way to do because it happened many years ago and your parents have passed away.
Cross-platform code - Is your int still 16 bits on your new CPU? Of course you know* your variable is always between 0 and 15, but the MISRA checker might not**.

Today we have int16_t et al., so this is much less of an issue.

*) IME "know" is often merely a "believe".

**) Not sure that even if you have a MISRA checker that has a suitable inference, it is allowed to discard alarms on this kind of violation. I wrote MISRA test cases for something for a suitable powerful checker/analyzer, but I can't remember this detail anymore.

Which in turn depends on where you live: some places a call is not ended until both sides hang up. Fraudsters use that to call you, give you a number and then when you call back pretend to be answering the phone (complete with ring noises).

If someone like a banks calls you, you need to call back from a different phone line, using a number that you look up before giving private information.

Note that most of the time the above doesn't matter, as banks rarely need to call you to get private information. "did you buy X" isn't private - whoever is asking already knows you did: even if they are a scammer you have already lost - if you didn't you need to hang up and call the bank to arrange getting a new account now that your old one is compromised. The only other time that matters is why you know who will call and why (if you just applied for a mortgage you expect the loan officer to call but you also know exactly who that is)

Well put, that's essentially what it ends up being: one group has permission to act poorer than another, due to perceived injustices outside that immediate context. And the defense being 'we're punching up, because...' is childish at best imo.

Not seeing from this article how "A Memory Called Empire" fits under Mesopunk at all -- Martine writes from the perspective of a historian of the Byzantine Empire. I would consider adding "The Actual Star" by Monica Byrne, which spans Mesoamerican history for thousands of years on either side of the present day.

I worked with Ferrucci in BW. The internals of the employee rating system that preceded him were hilarious. In short:

Everyone is encouraged to rate anyone else in a variety of categories, as often as possible. Every rating is public. You know who is rating you, and how they did it. Those ratings are put together to get a score in every category, and can be seen by anyone. It's your Baseball Card.

The problem is that not everyone is equally 'credible' in their rating. If I am bad at underwater basketweaving, my opinions on the matter are useless. But if I become good, suddenly my opinion is very important. You can imagine how, as one accumulates ratings, the system becomes unstable: My high credibility makes someone else have bad credibility, which changes the rankings again. How many iterations do we run before we consider the results stable? Maybe there's two groups of people that massively disagree in a topic. One will be high credibility, and the other bad, and that determines final scores. Maybe the opinion of one other random employee just changes everyone else's scores massively.

So the first thing is that the way we know an iteration is good involves whether certain key people are rated highly or not, because anything that, say, said that Ray is bad at critical thinking is obviously faulty. So ultimately winners and losers on anything contentious are determined by fiat.

So then we have someone who is highly rated, and is 100% aware of who is rating them badly. Do you really think it's safe to do that? I don't. Therefore, if you don't have very significant clout, your rating of people should be simple: Go look at that person's baseball card, and rate something very similar in that category. Anything else is asking for trouble. You are supposed to be honest... but honestly, its better to just agree with those that are credible.

So what you get is a system where, if you are smart, you mostly agree with the bosses... but not too much, as to show that you are an independent thinker. But you better disagree in places that don't matter too much.

If there's anything surprising, is that more people involved into the initiative stayed on board that long, because it's clear that the stated goals and the actual goals are completely detached from each other. It's unsurprising that it's not a great place to work, although the pay is very good.

The catholic church in general is kind of a counterexample in certain aspects, but only because of reasons. The Maltese Order is just one aspect of the general weirdness of the church organisation overall, there are also the separate international legal entities "Holy See" and the Vatican state. Of those three, only the Vatican state actually has any sovereign land area, but of a rather symbolic size. The Vatican also has a kind of citizenship, but it is only awarded for the duration of being part of the churches government. But in all those things you only see shadows and fragments of the past that are in slow and steady dissolution. The dissolution would be far quicker if e.g. Italy were hostile to them, but the opposite is true, probably because of the popular support and gain in international influence for Italy.

The recent 2023 version of MISRA C costs just a few pound as PDF. So I got it from $WORK.
I don't have a lot of experience with the previous versions. But the 2023 version reads quite okay.

It is not possible to mandate "though shall write good code" because it is not at all clear what that means.
Instead they needed to come up with rules that can be checked with automated tools.

The rules are classified as mandatory, required or advisory.
Only the mandatory rules cannot be overridden by explicit documentation.
As an example, "The goto statement SHOULD not be used" is an advisory rule.
Given the bad bad spaghetti code that beginner programmers produce with goto, this is quite reasonable.
Even though some code is definitely better with goto. For example to jump to some cleanup before returning.

Similarly, "A function SHOULD have a single point of exit at the end" is an advisory rule only.
The rationale for the rule stated in the standard is the following (slightly rephrased):

1. A single point of exit for a function is required by the IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 standards as part of the requirements for a modular approach.
2. Early returns may lead to the unintentional omission of function termination code.
3. If a function has exit points interspersed with statements that produce persistent side effects, it is not easy to determine which side effects will occur when the function is executed.

I'm also a big advocate for early return. But the points from the rationale are valid.
And I don't have a good alternative rule that achieves the same goal and is checkable with automated tools...

For brand-new trucks, both GM (Chevy/GMC) as well as Ford make half-ton trucks with a regular cab and six-foot bed, which is the closest thing to what your Ranger is and can be optioned with CarPlay. Ram, unfortunately, stopped selling the regular cab 1500 Classic as of the last model year.

Used availability varies, of course, but used cars are such a silly deal at the moment compared to new car pricing that it may not make sense.

I'm a big fan of those "shorty" trucks.
Ok then they changed it. At one point it was still on the in house engine.
Oh, sure. But there's nothing exotic about Hercules (thus the endless clones of it) that prevented IBM from implementing something like it in 1981 except a) cost and b) possibly some vague worry that graphics/color = games = non-serious computer.

For 40 years people have said that IBM made a mistake by only implementing the garish CGA 4-color palette on RGB monitors. But given that that was also done for a) and probably b), this discussion has made me think that perhaps non-graphics MDA might have been as big a mistake for IBM, maybe even more so if it could have been implemented for less cost than proper full-palette CGA on RGB.
