I'm not seeing the purpose of your comment. You make an unsupported assertion ("Masks don't prevent Covid") and then invalidate my lived experience with some arbitrary speculation. "Probably had COVID"? Okay? I don't believe I have. Not sure what you're expecting to get out of this, should I just stop wearing masks because HN rando harassed me about it like I already experience in-person for the past X years?
I’ve always wondered if you tried to run a current through a metal belt moving in the opposite direction of electron flow at a speed higher than the drift velocity if the circuit would complete?

(For the sake of argument let’s says it’s not connected like a belt would be. )
I think something like this is most likely. It's rare in Canada for legal action to be taken (or to succeed) for these kinds of things.

Though I wouldn't rule out accessibility of care as being in Canada's favour, even with our rather awful doctor and nurse shortages right now. It would be interesting to see these stats broken down by region.

Healthcare everywhere is rationed. But in Canada it is mostly rationed on a medical priority instead of ability-to-pay priority.
My mother did NGO environmental policy freelancing in the 00's. She would land a contract for 40k for two months of work, then spend the next 4 months looking for more work.

Being a subject matter expert means that you can be paid well for your work, but the numbers of jobs that require expertise in the Kura-Aras river basin can be few are far between.
You can say the same thing in regards to how the CDC lumps suicide into "gun violence" deaths but don't blame sleeping pills, ropes, driving cars off bridges, or whatever OTC drug one can buy to reach the same conclusion. Weaponizing data is a government statisticians job.
I like the Shinkansen but it's also very expensive - that journey is ¥14,170 one way, and the discounts for return tickets or advance booking are vanishingly small. Even with the incredibly weak yen I can see same-day SF-LA flights cheaper than that.
this bugged me too. I tried to keep the colours respective to the company logos. Any other recommendations for a metra colour?

I'd say that the hands-down improvement over C is simplified threading and proper utf8 support. The utf8 alone (because of the notion of rune) is a good reason to use golang over C or C++.
I wouldn't be able to build a substitute for a half decent brand-new manufactured keyboard for $88 if I got the parts for free. I've build some interesting musical keyboards but mostly because they had geometries that were non-standard and I'm still toying with the idea of making a complete action from scratch. But that's 'madman' territory, just as a challenge, not for cost savings.
UK not Canada, but it was literally the official metric used during the pandemic - “death within 28 days of a COVID test”. Does what it says - no more, no less.

I don't think this is actually what most people really think when they throw out accusations of films being "woke", but if you take GP at their word:

> "Woke" movies end up being greenlit like sequels are, on the basis of something about them not on their individual strengths.

Then pretty much any Christian movie that is primarily marketed on the basis of being a Christian movie would be woke, and Narnia was heavily marketed in Christian circles and I remember Christians at the time certainly feeling that this was a Christian fantasy movie that was made for them that was going to serve as an alternative to more secular fantasy movie series.

Modern Christian cinema is basically the definition of prioritizing a message and a demographic over any other cinematic feature or quality; these are films that get greenlit because they espouse a Christian ideology and because a subset of the market will pay to see any movie that explicitly espouses a Christian ideology regardless of its quality or how obviously the film is shallowly pandering to them.

The broader Christian entertainment market even captures the sense of cynicism in that definition. A lot of Christian media is made by non-Christians not because of some holy purpose but because it's easy and profitable to pander to certain Christian denominations. If you don't know how to make good movies, a good fallback is to quote some Bible verses in a bad movie and then see if you'll get support from an audience that mostly just cares about being represented on a movie screen.

----

Again, I'm not saying that I think this is a great definition to use. I think it's kind of reductive: good movies have themes, that's part of what makes them good. And good movies get made because people care about the themes and care about the finished product and how it will affect viewers. The idea that films having a message or political point of view is intrinsically counter to their quality -- it's just not a great way to approach film criticism. Theme/telos can't be fully separated from a film's quality.

But if we're talking about message over substance, it's not at all surprising to me that someone would call a Christian or Conservative movie woke. It's only surprising because we know deep down that generic criticism of "message over substance" is not really what most people mean when they call a film "woke".

Wait, Go doesn't have sum types? How do you create any modern programming language and not build it on top of sum types? That seems so odd.
How fast is Java 21?
Oh I'm aware, but I'm talking historically.

But HTTP/2 is not the right example. You're missing some things on the web timeline.

Long before HTTP/2 (time in web terms), and after React (and Angular, etc.) came about, people created actually-popular bundler toolchains that can bundle arbitrary files together and then incrementally load them as needed. This effectively fixed the multiple HTTP request problem long before HTTP/2 existed. Efficient template files have been possible for years. (Granted, not anything standard though.)

The issue right now is that someone has to make a full toolchain with strong developer support to make this a de-facto and popular way to distribute apps. Just because you have a bundler or HTTP/2 doesn't mean you have a nice way to make use of it. You need a nice library. Your usage examples need to look pretty. It needs to work with other toolchains. It needs to look like your library will be supported for a long time, just like how React was supported by Facebook.

You can't just write a blog post about how it's possible because you're basically asking your readers to invent and maintain a library or worse, roll their own internal library that will confound people at their company.

I think you're asking a slightly incorrect question. Very few features could "only" be added thanks to the MS acquisition. What you really want to know is how many more features were added, thanks to MS. Or, how much longer would those features have taken to be built if GitHub was not acquired by MS. My gut feeling, seeing GH pre- and post-acquisition, says that a lot of the stuff they shipped post-MS would simply never have been shipped before.

Under MS, they shipped - just off the top of my head:

* dev containers

* vscode-github-in-the-browser

* github actions

* that extremely useful fuzzy-find that repos have (press t
in any repo)

* copilot

I seriously doubt they could have shipped a single one of those things pre-MS.
Added to the list - thanks! This is different from metra yeah?
>Restaurants of any decent quality require talent, proper ingredients, and time.

You're missing the most critical one: money. You need money to get a restaurant off the ground, and money makes acquiring talent, ingredients, and time easier. Ghost kitchens help on money aspect by not requiring you to lease/renovate prime real estate for the restaurant and not having to worry about hiring/managing FoH staff.

> Canonically, electric current results from the collective movement of electrons, each carrying one indivisible chunk of electric charge. But the dead steadiness of Chen’s current implied that it wasn’t made of units at all. It was like finding a liquid that somehow lacked individually recognizable molecules

In maxwell's equations, current density J is defined in terms of the E-field. When talking about electricity, people make the typical quantum mechanical wave-particle mistake. Electricity refers to two things, photons and electrons and how they interact with eachother. Both act as wave-particles, but photons act more like waves and electrons more like particles. The thing that gets people is that photons are the things that move energy around. A photon is an electromagnetic wave. In a wire, you can have an electromagnetic wave traversing the wire at some proportion of the speed of light, while the electrons are moving at speeds closer to meters per second. We defined current to be proportional to the E-field (because that is what is moving the energy) and thus we shouldn't refer to the movement of electrons as current.

It's about as interesting as the other answers proposed in TFA, and it gets to the meat of it: they are all just representations invented by people, and there's nothing stopping us from inventing our own representations that fit into 64 bits (or 1 bit).

You don't have to use innerHtml. The ShadowRoot pretty much acts like a document. So you can also use appendChild. Combined with a template element you can completely avoid innheHtml. You could even use jsx to create the template element I suppose.

That said I think this is mostly a non-issue.
Your definition of stolen goods is circular; stolen goods aren't stolen because someone stole them; they're stolen because consent was not granted by the owner. You can however contingently be sold a good, which means you are only allowed to have the good if you agree to certain conditions. Once you violate those conditions, you are forfeiting your ownership of that good if that's what you agreed to (and it is in the case of most digital content).

As for control, it is decidedly not a fundamental part of ownership. You are not, for example, able to control driving your car into another person willfully, but you do still "own" your car.

What it boils down to is the ethical obligation a person has to do what they said they would do. Are you ethically obligated to not lie? If so, when Bob tells Steve that he (Bob) isn't going to share Steve's secret with anyone else without Bob's permission, he would then break his word if he subsequently shared Bob's secret with you. You, knowing that Bob obtained the secret by lying to Steve, are complicit in Bob's lie, making you morally culpable.

This is obviously complicated by the infinitely reproducible nature of digital goods, hence why I said you don't care much for capitalism if you don't agree with this notion, as capitalism introduces the concept of artificial scarcity to protect Steve's incentives to continue to produce secrets. There are many arguments suggesting that Steve would produce secrets regardless of incentive, but for a capitalist, the protection of the monopoly is paramount.
Your first clue to it being a worthless rant was confusing window layout decisions with the Wayland protocol.

That's true of many things and has been for a long time. "De gustibus non disputandum est," as the Romans said. "It's useless to argue about taste."

I also think there's a balance between the breadth of a tech and its use. I feel weird seeing how much can software do, but all this for games.. it's like having a complete nuclear lab team to help you change batteries on your LED lightsaber...
If you're not hiring a SQL developer I agree it doesn't make sense to ask them memory questions about SQL. But it does make sense to ask them memory questions about whatever it is they claim to know. A developer who has to google the basics is not going to be very good at problem solving.

As a Swede, this lawsuit is actually more interesting than it might seem.

The issue at hand here is that a government agency is failing to provide the service it legally must provide (delivering licence plates), due to it's dependency on a private actor (postnord) which is refusing to make the deliveries due to a sympathy strike against Tesla.

Trafikverket (the agency in question) is saying that they've fulfilled their legal obligations as they've delivered the plates to postnord, and Tesla quite understandably disagrees with this, as they're not getting any plates. IANAL but it seems to me that something is legally questionable here, but whether that is trafikverket refusing to let Tesla pick up the plates themselves, or if it's on postnord for, at least arguably, stealing mail, I don't know! (Since Tesla is asking to pick up the plates at trafikverket, I imagine they're willing to pick them up from whatever facility postnord is keeping them in, but postnord won't let them)

Whatever your opinion on the morality of the suit,I don't think it's entirely clear-cut legally. Again, IANAL, so it might be to someone with legal literacy, but to this layman the outcome is far from obvious!

The strike itself is very interesting as a Swede: very few Tesla employees seem interested in this strike, some have even openly criticised the union for misrepresenting them. That signals a huge loss of influence for the unions in Sweden, which are the be-all end-all to Swedish labour laws(we don't have legally mandated minimum wages, instead the unions are free to do.. Well what they're doing now basically)

Some union reps are worried this might be the end of the Swedish model and that we might end up switching to legally enforced minimum wages and less powerful unions. How likely that is to happen I leave for you to decide.

The low participation rate among Tesla employees has also led to some quite interesting sideeffects: some small repair shops are actually losing business to Tesla, since they don't dare deal with Tesla owners(and thus draw the ire of the unions) but since Tesla own shops are still operating, Tesla owners who need repairs are forced to go to those shops instead!

It's interesting to see how intertwined and interdependent the economy is, where a strike against one company ends up negatively impacting some of its competitors (in the servicing cars market, not the building cars market)

I'm the end, I really don't see how signing a collective agreement could possibly be worse for Tesla than all of this trouble. From a pure business perspective, it seems logical to just sign already.

Worse or better, depending on the city. SF is too dense to add more parking.
PostNord is a private business owned by Sweden and Denmark. Unless there are specific laws to the contrary, its employees have the same right to strike as any other private sector employees.

(More generally, postal services in the EU tend to be structured as businesses these days, because they are in direct competition with various courier and package delivery services.)

Also, while the employees may be on strike, managers who rank high enough are not represented. If a company has particularly important obligations it needs to honor, it can always tell the managers to handle them personally.

Think of it this way instead, the people working there have their own rights to refuse to do so. They the people aren't "Postnord" the company, they are individuals who are free to act on their own, they aren't slaves to their company.
I never tested positive for COVID in the entire 3.5 years of this crap ... until last month. I have had 4 rounds of the vaccine and didn't ever get it in prior winters even when it was in my house (daughter had it before) -- but didn't get my booster in time this fall to do anything about the rather insane wave making its way through the population right now (thanks Doug Ford, you incompetent buffoon). And so I got it, and so did everyone else in our house

And it was rather brutal-awful. Enough so that I felt the need to get on anti-virals. 3 weeks later and I'd say I'm only really recovered right now.

Point being, it seems the vaccinations unfortunately need repeated application, and what's making the rounds right now is nothing to scoff at. For some people, it's mild. For others, pretty awful.
