My legal first name is Xitij.

Everyone knows me as Ritesh. It does not appear on any of my identification.

I've dealt with this for 38 years.

Haha, I loved that album when it came out!

Indeed it was unsearchable though. I had to buy the CD.
This is actually something I can relate to. Over the years, I've opted to shorten my name to something more "english" (I'm Afrikaans), simply because it's easier for the people around me - and also because hearing the same jokes & mispronunciations a thousand times becomes tiring. Ironically, living in Germany for a bit quickly taught me it's not always the case.
Something Wayland based would be interesting.
Please do not do this. Title reads: "New cooling ceramic can enhance energy efficiency for the construction sector and help combat global warming". Not sure how you leapt to the conclusion that that's all we need? And one of the people who you feel have no clue is this person: https://www.cityu.edu.hk/see/people/prof-edwin-chi-yan-tso. Are you more credible?
Or buy it under an LLC and sell the LLC.
What's the incentive to actually set it up, though?

You can do it right now as a graceful transition to IPv6. Running a pure IPv6 network with NAT64 or similar. But almost nobody does it. Why would your scheme be more tempting to them?
Ah yes. All those heroes scalping Xboxes, PS5s, Switches, GPUs, and event tickets for the last few years deserve a statue or holiday to honour their tireless commitment to improving society.

Without their botting, buying out inventories, and order limit evasion, someone who’s not wealthy might be able to enjoy the latest in entertainment or buy gifts for their children. Can you imagine?
In a Boston University study they found that 81% of prescription drug abuse and 79% of high alcohol abuse was to self manage pain. There is no humane approach to furthering addictions as a band-aid for our lack of medical care and failure to address mental illness.

Scrap the free use drugs laws and invest in clinics for underserved populations with chronic pain management programs and mandatory rehab programs for people who have lost the battle.

Not sure a statue is necessary but they certainly earned their money.
I had to solve this problem too. For my first son, it wasn't that easy, it was many hours of Google searching, only to be "thwarted" by my wife's off-hand suggestion that actually worked out well.

For my second son, I used ChatGPT to help. It nailed it.

They're not bad. They're just a pain to type out in detail every time. Here's an example signature from an F# library I like called FParsec:

pipe2: Parser<'a,'u> -> Parser<'b,'u> -> ('a -> 'b -> 'c) -> Parser<'c,'u>

That's fine for documentation, but I'm glad it's not cluttering up the actual implementation, which starts like this:

let pipe2 (p1: Parser<'a,'u>) (p2: Parser<'b,'u>) f =
...

You can see how the code does explicitly specify the types of `p1` and `p2`, but doesn't bother spelling out the type of `f` or the return type. Although we are thinking in types the whole time, this sort of flexibility in the implementation is important for real-world functional code.

(For anyone wondering, this function takes two parsers and a function as input. It sends the output of each parser to the function, and the result is itself a parser. This is equivalent to a well-known abstract function called `liftA2` in a language that supports typeclasses, like Haskell.)

When I saw the headline, I was struck by two thoughts:

* what constitutes "working", and

* "working" for whom?

The article makes it clear to me that the main problem is that since there are no criminal sanctions, there is less incentive to hide drug-taking activity. The streets are now cluttered with filthy, homeless fentanyl and meth addicts. Many right-thinking citizens are upset by how untidy it all looks.

What a surprise that not making an addict's life harder by locking them up has not magically led to them getting clean. The uptake on support services is not what one would hope.

Some people would like to return to criminalisation, presumably because "out of sight, out of mind". I think people with poverty, addiction and mental health problems should be given more support instead.
It applies to physical goods. Tesla will just force buyers to sign away their rights with a contract.
Does enforcing the law not require government intervention?
We need to not treat all drugs the same. Heroin, Fentanyl, Meth are absolutely destructive forces and possession should force people into rehab or jail (their choice). Weed, acid, maybe coke should just be tickets and you can't do it/carry it around publically, openly sell it, etc.
You're right, it's self-evident.
Soviets/Communists were hand in hand together just a few years later from Neumann's death, 1962 in fact, probably even months to years earlier as we know now that the Communists did successfully transport nuclear armaments to Cuba, fully capable of launched.

The question (that we know the answer to as well) during that period is if they would pull the trigger, and from a few parties involved, they would have. Neumann was right in my opinion, and the Communists of the world at the time were absolutely a hazard to humanity, at the very least the humanity that lived in North America.

I truly think the only reason why we are here today is MAD.
> This is very Windows-specific problem. macOS, iOS, Android, ChromeOS, KDE nowadays all include decent sets of apps, thankfully.

My examples of a drawing app and a text editor stand, I think.

A distribution, typically, does not have a better way to guess your preferences than a DE does. Pushing overloaded applications on everyone is not a solution.

It also forces them to get clean and give them another shot at sobriety.

I meant search in the menu itself like Mac does

The menu doesn't resolve these issues: if you don't know that yank is copy, seeing it in the catalogue won't help much, especially if instead of the usual cut/yank/paste that could give you a hint, you have cut/paste is in some "destructive edits" menu, and yank is elsewhere

And you can very well not have a command in the menu, after all, coding to have a command automatically dumped in a global list is easier that remembering to add it manually to some menu category

And the input to search can be blank: you'll get the same catalogue with the same categories like in the menu (watch the video, the popup search has all the menu categories), so there is almost no difference, so there is nothing magical 1000% discoverability in this menu design
ChatGPT and LLM: simplest possible explanation
Honestly I was really giving them the benefit of the doubt up until that point. The fact that they don't understand that this PR was essentially an unethical marketing stunt on their part (regardless of whether they believe in their own resources or not) is kind of sad.

Even if it was a free/non-profit source of information that users could reference, the fact that they did not disclose that they are the literal CEO of the company they are promoting shows a lack of ethics.
People who aren't pitch perfect will rarely sing a song it its original key, so Google likely handle that.

My favorite Stephen King adaptations were from his shorts vs novels. Shawshank and Stand By Me are deserted island movies for me. But I agree, short stories are just long enough to put a concept out there with just enough to establish characters, motives, plots, yet leave enough room to expand on for the movie version without conflicts from deviating from canon.
If you are in charge of the review process, simply start closing their PRs, list the reasons why, or better yet create a document you can reference establishing your guidelines. Don't back and forth; if they can't meet a simple set of guidelines, the PR is not ready for review.

Let their manager take issue with it. Fight it, bring it to their manager's manager, whatever. A company like that is not worth working for, so try to make it a company that is, or leave, but do yourself a favor and find a team you love.
Vertical still means “close proximity to neighbors” which is what a lot of people object to when it comes to urban living. I will never again voluntarily live in a building with a shared wall or ceiling.
Rust has panics as well and they appear pretty much everywhere, because the Rust stdlb made a conscious decision to panic on allocation failures (later non-panicking APIs were added, but most people dont use them, and in special, most dependencies will not use this and will panic on random occasions), and also because common operations like integer division and array indexing will panic on bugs (and also integer overflow on debug builds)

In any case OCaml has memory safety, sort of (it has data races but as described in the paper "data races bounded in time and space", data races in OCaml doesn't lead to unrestricted UB like in Rust, C, C++, and most other languages actually) (unless you opt into OCaml's unsafe constructs like Obj.magic, which is like Rust's unsafe without using unsafe {} block), because it has a GC

So when you talk about safety in the context of exceptions, you probably mean exception safety rather than memory safety. Exception safety basically means you code works even if an exception is raised. Which is really hard to assure since as you said, exceptions are everywhere

But Rust suffer from this same problem! In Rust this is called panic safety and mitigating it has taken a great deal of complexity, with things like lock poisoning, which adds overhead but limit the scope of panics in multithreaded programs, and the UnwindSafe trait, which is probably a good attempt but is ignored in most of the ecosystem. Many people think such measures are inadequate and insufficient and prefer to run programs with panic=abort, which means to just terminate the program when there is any panic. (many C++ projects disable exceptions in the same way for example)

Which is kind of unfortunate because now there are many Rust programs that are only correct if you run with panic=abort, and will break if you enable stack unwinding (which is the default)
I find your argument unconvincing too, because having your monitor set to a comfortable brightness was the norm before designers ignorant of brightness controls started ruining it for everyone else.

The "musical loudness war" is completely irrelevant and makes no sense in this context either. Turn your speakers down if your ears are hurting.
There is a vscode extension for the ocaml-lsp that will show type annotations above each line of code.
> proving safety for any nontrivial program.

I haven't done this, but probably the surest way to do that would be to use a proof assistant and extract the result to Standard ML or to OCaml. Standard ML has verified implementations, too.
BS your information is just looking at relative change annually. Singapore's drug policies have plateaued. It's been in effect for decades you can't expect a drug policy that's been in place for decades have continues upward trends of lower and lower drug use, they will hit a limit.

Any change you see now is just noise as they're basically at the peak of the amplitude for maximal change. And that's what you're basically googling.

You need to look at relative illicit drug use by population percentage by country:

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/drug-use-...

Also think critically. You will be killed if you attempt to sell drugs there. Does it make sense that the policy is not effective? What the hell is going on?

Don't be just a blind data scientist trying to scaffold the data to fit your view point. If the data doesn't fit the common sense then perhaps you're unconsciously manipulating the data to fit your view.

Also one of your articles shows 0.7% of youths in Singapore have used drugs in the past year. Is that suppose to support your argument? Look up the amount of youths that use drugs in the US. I think the reported number is like 40%. Actual number is likely 70%.

Rust panics can be catched too, but it's true that it's less common than in languages with exceptions

Correct, though many with those homes aren't yet millionaires by the net worth definition.
If we have additional costs in the economy that just means GDP increases by that amount.

You could also phrase this as 'global GDP would triple from this initiative'. GDP is a silly measurement.

> He is observing an objective fact. America is and always has been constitutional republic, which is distinct from a democracy.

A constitutional republic is a small d democratic system. The political power in that system comes from the will of the people. We can play word games all day but the United States is a representative democracy.

That people like you parrot these ideas is deeply concerning, and the idea that the United States is not a democracy is often bandied about as a reason to act in bad faith against the will of the people. Most recently, the electorate in Ohio voted to enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution. One of the arguments people were making against that vote was that the United States is not a democracy. I've only ever seen people make this argument in bad faith as reasoning for sticking with unpopular policies like abortion bans.

according to that article, technically Cena and Ford agreed to a settlement where Cena would pay an unspecified amount of money to Ford and Ford would donate the money to charity. Cena had paid to buy the car from Ford, and sold the car presumably at a profit if it was at market value, so we can't actually tell what happened. Ford did make their point, so your comment is good.

That article also says "After initially saying it would only produce the car for two years, Ford responded to heavy demand by doubling that life span to four total years of production. At a rate of 250 cars per year, the full run will equal 1000 vehicles." That seems to be a bit of a broken promise to initial buyers of the initial run of cars, as more would decrease their resale value.
A surprising amount, actually. Mobile phones rezoom and reflow text and content automatically, and if you click reader mode, take over presentation entirely.

I don't agree with the idea that all CSS should be banned, but the pixel-perfect designs, that seem to come from Photoshop, are definitely annoying because they have rarely been tested on anything but what the designer had lying around. Have a device with a different scale factor? A phone with a non-iPhone screen ratio? Perhaps you dare use a browser that shows scroll bars by default? Good luck getting use out of any of those over-designed marketing websites.

I use tree style tabs so my computer has a 1920x1080 resolution, but not the entire width of the screen is available to websites. I've had to collapse the side panel repeatedly because some websites just couldn't deal with the idea that a desktop browser had a resolution that wasn't full width. I'll take on of those Motherfucking Websites over the marketing nonsense any time.

It's about the angle of reflection. When light reflects off a surface, it leaves at an angle equal to the angle it comes in at.

Most of the light hitting the roof will be reflected back up into space. Some small percentage of it will scatter and disperse into all other directions.

If you were in a plane at exactly the right angle between the roof and the sun, you'd see a glare much stronger than you'd see at street level.
No, they can, check the catch_unwind API.

Some frameworks catch panics automatically. For example, in the Actix web framework, if you panic in an HTTP response the panic will be catchee, so it won't bring the whole server down.

Also, by default a panic will terminate only the current thread, which is a major footgun: you now need to reason about what you program will do after some bug or unforseen circunstance happened somewhere in the code and made you program misbehave. Which leads to slightly insane things like lock poisoning.

It's more sane to compile with panic=abort, but that's not the default and it means that on panic you won't release resources (which aren't just allocated memory to be clear)

> It applies to physical goods.

No, there could be something else that applies to physical goods, but it's not the "First Sale Doctrine", which is specifically about limitations in copyright. [0]

If I harvest a generic apple and offer it with a contract stating that the buyer will not allow anyone else to eat the apple, there's no copyright involved, and thus no First Sale Doctrine either.

Until pandemic, most of my time was spent in dimmed rooms like edit bays which is a common lighting condition for that type of space. The dark color scheme is pretty much the default for any software you'd expect to find in that environment. Since the primary type of UI that I create is also used by people in that industry, they typically have a dark background scheme too. Now, that I no longer work in those caves, the bright colors are taking some getting used to and I'm still not there.

For you to say it sucks without saying "for me" at the end of it is just you assuming everyone has the same preferences as you. I can tell you from experience, this is just a bad belief to hold.
Yes it does oppress you when it prevents free trade.
Excellent read! It explains not just holy wars but also bit rot etc.
There is virtually zero chance that a bar would be found guilty of illegal discrimination for banning an individual woman unless there were witnesses or recordings establishing that they did so specifically on the basis of gender. Proving discrimination, even by the lower standards of civil court, generally requires either a well-documented pattern of behavior or (as mentioned above) evidence that the customer was banned due specifically to their gender.
So what I'm hearing is the executions haven't stopped drug use.

Maybe there could be a few parks in the city where public drug use is legal, and have it be illegal everywhere else?

They do indeed have one (or more depending on cage size) designated areas for doing that. The specific place you put the litter box is something you teach them, but they don't need much training to learn as they do seem to naturally do this with spots they choose themselves too.

Of course it might happen occasionally outside of those areas too, but if that starts happening frequently it can be a sign that something is wrong with them health wise.
I wonder if we’d have seen a similar effect if Hitler had had a common English name like “Max” or something. Would there be almost no Maxes today in either the Anglo- or Germanospheres? Or was “Adolf” already a rare enough name that the association between the name and Hitler became unavoidable?

I didn't intend to cite the case specifically as an analog, but the part I quoted as flavor as to how the law in general looks at nonpossessory interest in the sale of goods.

When this is litigated it will no doubt be complex and touch many areas of IP law, antitrust laws, UCC, and contract law. The contract law angle is interesting because of good faith and fair dealing, which you could make the argument that resale of the vehicle is not material to the purpose of the transaction.

But OP claims to be committing nonviolent drug crimes. Depending on your philosophy you may feel you’re not doing anything morally wrong by selling drugs. Upholding the law for the laws’ sake isn’t obviously good.

It’s admirable that you’re father did what he did without resorting to becoming a negative influence on society, but I bet most people on HN have broken the law in some small way many times in their life. Breaking the law and hurting others are not always the same.
