>> All Lives Matter is a slogan that was created as a negative response to the Black Lives Matter movement. It is a conservative rejection of the acknowledgement of police brutality and ethnic violence that is the purpose of the Black Lives Matter movement.

>> "From the river to the sea" (Arabic: من النهر إلى البحر, romanized: min an-nahr ʾilā l-baḥr; Palestinian Arabic: من المية للمية, romanized: min il-ṃayye la-l-ṃayye, lit. 'from the water to the water') is a political slogan that refers geographically to the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, an area described as Palestine, which today includes Israel and the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories, including the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip.

I can think of opposite interpretations of both examples. For instance, "all lives matter" is to be taken literally to be an inclusive declaration of equal treatment under the law, or "from the river to the sea" calls for ejection of jews from region. How do you arbitrate between them, without relying on an authority like wikipedia?
>If we were applying your logic, we'd conclude that clearly society/the police don't have a policy of catching robbers.

No we wouldn't. My logic is that we'd have stats regarding how many crimes were documented, whether they were solved or not. And, as you've shown, we do.

No police department will have a 100% closure rate but that doesn't mean at all what you're claiming should be the conclusion based on that fact. The conclusion would be to look at how many cases of free speech issues were reported and what was done as a result. Transparency is what's needed, not misleading and inappropriately applied surveys.
Ever thought about the morality of your actions as a moderator, however aligned they may be with the needs and requirements of the site, dang?
There are far cheaper sources of calories than meat. If anything, it's that meat is positively correlated with having enough nutrition, which is mostly the non calorie stuff. Lean meat is extremely nutritious, and relatively low calorie (since protein is incorrectly summed in caloric counts for meat, from 120 year old incorrect math [1], and the fact that the average person is never in a deep enough state of fasting/starvation for glycogenolysis to take over [2]).

One loser could be Microsoft. I found, almost inadvertently, that when Apple essentially bricked Drive on my 2013 MacBook Pro, I could open a new Chrome window (not actually necessary, but neater workflow) and simply run Drive and Sheets there. This was a big eye opener. Especially when it works perfectly on an iPad in an emergency.

> so might increase your compute cost without any storage savings.

I agree with this point, but I think those online compression algorithms add very little overhead, so it is mostly about if Postgres adds enough other benefits compared to your current DB.

The bigger issue potentially is that ext4 is faster than zfs and btrfs itself regardless of compression.

Atmos? We Don't Need No Stinking Atmos
The invasive snakes in Florida aren't venomous. I'm not aware of any invasive snakes with medically significant venom anywhere in the world, but killing invasive snakes is fine.

The snakes which kill people virtually always fall into one of two categories; native species and pets. These shouldn't be killed except in the most dire of contrived circumstances (e.g. "what if there is a cobra poised to strike my child who cannot run away?"). Leaving the snake alone is always a better choice.
Notice first the text from the original article:

"The World Health Organization estimates that 138,000 people are killed by venomous snakes annually."

While that may be irrelevant to you (even in the face of personal affliction), the cost of surviving this interaction is also high:

"During that time, he was administered 28 vials of antivenom intravenously at a cost of $3,400 per vial... They are also species-specific, meaning selecting proper antivenom requires knowing which type of snake bit you... As a result, survivors of rattlesnake bites in Southern California, for instance, get a second painful surprise when presented with hospital bills totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars."

I applaud you for your willingness to undertake this burden for yourself, but I am afraid that I am not.

This afternoon I was waiting for my man. 80 bucks in my hand. He sells me medicine that I know I need, but I also know is hard to get. Because the physicist thinks that he is God and that he decides who is going to live and who is going to die; he thinks that he can preach about everything.
I simply changed the distance to be dynamic based on closeness to the edge and it's getting into the many 100's of thousands. This simple change also seemed to fix the edge case of the respawn hitting the player is solved since the player never gets into that magic position (the enemy has to be in a very specific position for the eyes to reach the end just as the player does).

function bot() {
/* direction of the enemy: to our right (1) or to our left (-1) */
dir = (enemy.x > player.x) ? 1 : -1;
nearWall = enemy.x < 10 || enemy.x > 90
/* if pac-man... */
if (
(
/* ...has no powerup or powerup expires in less than 10 "ticks" */
powerTicks < 10 &&
/* ...is headed toward enemy */ player.vx == dir &&
/* ...is too close to enemy */ abs(player.x - enemy.x)
/* ...the distance before running away can be lower if we're near an edge */
< (dir == 1 ? player.x / 7 : ((100 - player.x) / 7))+7 &&
/* and if enemy's state is not "eyes flying back" */
enemy.eyeVx == 0)
) {
// "ArrowUp" or any arrow key reverses the direction of pac-man

}

Firefox is an unqualified good to the world. Mozilla (as the nonprofit we once all knew and trusted) ceased to really exist years ago.

While you’re right about that, the fact that they seem to have been trending downward for a very long time suggests they need someone new, whoever it is, and at a minimum should not be encouraging the current CEO with a raise.

In the US that's still crazy exciting. Most of my hikes (at least, before I moved to the Bay), I'd rarely be within a 3h jog of the closest place a chopper could land, and that's assuming you have a satphone or something to actually contact the outside world.

Plus, in a ton of states, driving is a privilege, not a right. I've lost my license a few times after the judge in question said I was justified but some bureaucrat in "public safety" or whatever didn't care about the life-threatening issues at hand and just yanked that privilege. Bureaucracy is hard to undo, and even if it weren't strictly a matter of improving my chance to live I'd much much much rather take a pill and a slow, safe route to the hospital than spend one more God-forsaken winter biking to work in -20F.

>Mitchell Baker is frankly a moron

Mitchell Baker is a bloody genius, this is a woman who heads both the foundation and the corporation to make literally several millions while ostensibly claiming to champion the right to freedom of information and communications.

What she is doing is unethical and suspect as hell, but so long as she can keep getting away with it she is absolutely not a moron.

As the old saying goes: If it's stupid but it works, it ain't stupid.

Note that "works" here does not mean furthering Mozilla's mission, it means securing a fat paycheck off her fiefdom.
It's dry in the sense the same sense Jane Austen's fiction is dry: it spends a lot of time chronicling the everyday minutiae of a bygone era. But whereas Austen was writing about her contemporaries, O'Brian does so at a remove of two centuries. As a literary and research achievement it's just .. stunning. I re-read this series at least once every decade, and each time my awe over what he has managed to accomplish in these books somehow increases. There is an old NYT book review (https://www.nytimes.com/1991/01/06/books/an-author-i-d-walk-...) that expresses it better than I can.
Try Pale Moon, Basilisk or K-Meleon (on Goanna), which are more lightweight than Firefox. Other alternatives: Otter Browser (on Qt WebKit) or Ladybird (on LibWeb).

Most of those terms are important sounding jargon signifying nothing (sorry for the Hamlet-like quote).

There are stack of books in the "business" section of any library or bookshop. But I wouldn't waste my time and money on them.

Just focus on the important details, such as how the topic of conversation impacts upon revenue, profit, cost-savings, customer behaviour, staff motivation, etc. If the conversation gets too murky for you, ask questions to clarify the relevance to any of the above areas.

Don't blame me if you get un-invited to meetings after asking such questions. The 80-20 rule applies -- 80% of biznoids are flapping like crazy to look important and valuable.

Show HN: Demo of Oracle Database + Oracle Linux + macOS UTM QEMU
https://github.com/joelparkerhenderson/demo-oracle-database-oracle-linux-macos-utm-qemu

This is a quick demonstration tutorial of how to set up Oracle Database on Oracle Linux on macOS on Arm, by using UTM on QEMU.

This is intended for local development, such as on a MacBook Pro M1/M2/M3 with enough memory and storage.

There are other approaches for Oracle software, such as containers, cloud infrastructure, etc. I intend to try some of these next.

Feedback welcome and appreciated.

Tell HN: High CPU time and power draw with video wallpapers in macOS Sonoma
As amazing as the video wallpapers, screensavers, and transitions look in the new macOS Sonoma (14.2.1) I just inspected Activity Monitor and was shocked to see the process WallpaperVideoExtension was the 3rd highest process CPU Time only behind kernel_task and WindowServer respectively.

-- Process Name -- -- Kind -- -- CPU Time --
WindowServer Apple 6:25:34
kernel_task Apple 2:56:31
WallpaperVideoExtension Apple 2:09:06
spotlightknowledged Apple 48:49

It seems those beautiful videos of sunsets, beaches, and space come at a cost... That cost is CPU cycles... which is power... which is quite wasteful when in screensaver mode.

I would assume once you reach "turn display off on power adapter when inactive" which I have set to 2 hours the WallpaperVideoExtension process usage goes to zero? Untested.

Seems like the WallpaperVideoExtension process should be an area where Apple engineers focus on optimizing the code to be as performant as possible to save CPU and power. Why isn't this running on the GPU? Wouldn't that be much more efficient? Maybe not power efficient on GPU actually.
Even if you’re not a Firefox user, Firefox and Safari are the only two things keeping Chrome from total dominance.

A lot of people don’t like Safari because it’s from Apple, the priorities they choose, or the fact that is not fully open source like Firefox is.

There are basically three rendering engines right now. One dominates massively and one looks not long for the world.

That doesn’t seem like a good situation to me. So I don’t want Firefox to die even though it’s not my daily browser.

People hate BAT for reasons, but the idea of controlling the ad stream at the software level is a winning one to me. I can't think of any other platform where ads were given such free reign. Could you imagine watching TV, then a commercial comes on that either a) crashes the tv, or b) changes the channel multiple times so you can't get back, or c) installs malware onto the tv, or d) clones itself 20 times over the content you were watching, or any other fun stuff web ads have been known to do.

Because it automatically stores-away money for each purchase. Some users enjoy the piece of mind of not having a bill at the end of month, and this provides the funds in order for that to happen. For me, I personally hate budgeting with credit cards and hate seeing my statement at the end of the month cause my checking balance is not accurate then. I would use a debit card more, but I get little protection and no benefits. This app may not be for you and that's okay!

You're under no obligation to continue this conversation, but no, you can't tell how much sex people have by the way they dress, that's absurd.

Frankly it's pretty objectifying to suggest the only reason people choose to wear skimpy clothes is to get laid, and the only reason they wear conservative clothes is to remain celibate. People often dress to please themselves.

I'm not sure why you would infer from my post that I'm not in favor of solving world hunger or that I'm encouraging people to have unhealthy diets. My point is that figuring out how to solve food scarcity is a scientific problem, as is figuring out how to improve people's diets. Eating a healthier diet slows down the aging process and increases lifespan. There isn't a sharp distinction between the two problems, and we can make progress in both. The idea that we shouldn't be doing scientific research on one area until all problems are solved in another, especially when the areas are related, is deeply mistaken.
> Sheikh Hasina is no angel, but it doesn't seem like Yunus or Grameen Bank/Telecom were ethical either [5]

I think this about sums it up. Yunus was a hero in the country for his pioneering work, but stepped out of his lane by entering politics. He misunderstood that Bangladesh is a quasi-democracy. Hasina has strong popular support, but also isn't willing to allow people to challenge her. And the nature of Yunus's businesses--providing capital to the poor--makes him an easy target. Hasina will lean into neoliberalism as long as it keeps her GDP growth numbers up, but will also wage populist attacks on Yunus for charging interest to the poor.

I don't think Yunus is totally clean, but I also don't think he's in the same league as the other guys you mention. It's virtually impossible to be honest in Bangladesh. I don't think you can run a big business like Grameenphone without breaking a lot of laws and paying a lot of bribes.

I should note that the potential military intervention in Bangladesh politics in the 2006-2008 timeframe was quite an unusual situation. After Ershad's fall, the Bangladesh military has been relatively weak politically, much more comparable to India than Pakistan. Many people I know entertained the idea of the military deposing Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina so the country could start with a clean slate.

I like the clear choices you made and that you stuck to them, even when making them optional (particularly shooting for GC-optional) might have attracted attention. Also, like the explicit implementation simplicity as a goal.

I’ve talked about it on Hn a few times, but I wrote the language I use for work. Like you, the language is primarily for me, but my motivation was to prove some type theory and philosophical (mathematics) points I held as true but couldn’t visibly see for myself.

> young women are also risk-averse about relationships. We are naturally more risk-averse

We spend a third of our lives at work [1]. Due to the excesses of post-war white-collar in-office culture, we--rightfully--are revisiting the conventions of romance at the office. Unfortunately, in the midst of this revisitation and its correspondent ambiguity, broaching dating at work has become incredibly risky, particularly for men, the classically risk-taking sex when it comes to relationships.

I wonder how much of the retreat of romance is due to taking this space where we spend nearly half of our waking hours and cordoning it off from a basic social function. (And in case it isn't abundantly clear, I am not advocating a return to the 50s.)
