This would require every sender and recipient to read and understand the JavaScript on every page load, because there’s no guarantee that the server is sending every request the same content. It is in fact not easy, especially for non technical users.

If we’re just assuming the site is trustworthy, the public key crypto isn’t necessary. If the site isn’t trustworthy, the public key crypto isn’t secure, because the site is in a position to compromise the private keys.

> Today’s chatbots perform best when instructed with a level of precision that would be appallingly rude in human conversation, stripped of any conversational pleasantries that the model could misinterpret: “Draft a 250-word paragraph in my typical writing style, detailing three examples to support the following point and cite your sources.” Not even the most detached corporate CEO would likely talk this way to their assistant, but it’s common with chatbots.

Actually if working remotely, this is exactly the type of communication style that I want to see on my email or chat app. I want to know what it is you want from me with the minimal fluff.

No, it was 17-1 rule with one other judge objecting to some but not all of the measures.

So: 17 judges decided some measures need to be implemented of which one of the judges objected to some of the measures.

Also it is not a ruling on whether this is or isn't genocide. In simple words, this is a rule "in case" this is later found to be genocide, to prevent any further damage that could happen before court submits its final ruling.

Other side of this is that it also depresses U.S. natural gas prices as demand for feed gas for those plants won't be there. Many people are after that, they claim that exports hurt U.S. consumers too much by making gas more expensive.

And would-be importers are going to use more renewables because that's what will be the cheapest option.

Rust has memory safety built in (unless one goes VERY out of their way to nullify it) which to many, myself included, is a selling point. F.ex. I wouldn't be interested in the userland tools rewrite if they weren't in Rust.

> Rust is not a user feature, it's an implementation detail.

It is that, yes, but not only that. Again, memory safety. And as another poster pointed out -- statically linked binaries. That helps a lot with certain deployments.

Also consider that HN might not be the place for you if mentioning implementation details are ticking you off. That's more or less how this forum started in the first place: people discussing implementation details.

I am effectively a Stranger Things kid, playing AD&D from 10-14 years old in friends' basements in the early 1980s. A little younger than the pimply nerds in the Dead Alewives skit, but their depiction was pretty accurate, sans Mountain Dew.

When my sons were 6 I decided to introduce them to the game. The 5e Starter Set had just come out and it was so similar to the original Basic Box of my youth. The rules were very different and often not in a good way: it was too sterile and formal, not as shaggy and weird as AD&D. But it was fun, and they loved it. I imagine there will be a time, 40 years from now, when they teach it to their sons.
Well, we are arguing about semantics. You say that minimal means that it must be functionally minimal. I say that minimal UX is valid meaning as well.

'fundamentalist'? Frankly, that is how you sound.

To tell people that buddhas have supernatural powers, and take that literally, is turning people away from the teaching.

'Faking' his appearance? Being omnipotent in this physical world? Able to manipulate this world?

You are supposed to understand that those are metaphors. Stories, not truth.

Language is imperfect and only points the way, not to be taken literally. A core teaching is how imperfect language is, and that even the sutras should be only taken as a rough guide and eventually abandoned when they no longer serve a purpose.

You can cite sutras, that doesn't mean you understand them. I fear that publishing these concepts as if an authority is damaging to people.

Meditate, prayer, recitation/mantras. Call it what you want.

Concentration/Samadhi is part of the 8-fold path.

That you would say that is not part of Buddhism is frankly making me think this whole thing is a Troll. Maybe you can make some argument that concentration in every moment is meditation, so you don't need to sit. But to say most Buddhist don't? Come on.

You know enough Buddhist terms to Troll someone on the internet. But this is damaging. Someone could read what you say and think that is Buddhism and be turned away or mislead.

Also, there is no such thing as slander to Buddhist, like there is some god in a Church that is taking offense. I guess we all get offended by things, and what I said was offensive, wrong speech. Just not technically 'slander'.
Or acquired by all these tech giants who are making record profits. It sounds like quite a sale season for them.
The Horizon system failed to keep accurate records. It was a kind of distributed database, with individual users entering data on their terminals and occasionally connecting (potentially via dialup, iirc) to a central system to sync their records. But it was implemented badly, and records could and did get lost or modified. Records could be edited at any time by any of several parties, including the postmasters, but then when they were synced those edits could be silently lost. The resulting ledger does not and can not accurately reflect reality, thus the lost money and the convictions.

> Classic poetry and plays, where referencing needs to be most exact and fast (...)

I believe that paragraph referencing is, by far and without any contest, used primarily by any text subject to reviews and revisions. This means technical reports and academic papers.

All academic papers I subjected to review were forced to use templates that enforced paragraph numbering. Even though each version of those documents were only read by a dozen readers or so, all papers submitted to those journals had to use the template. This means hundreds of documents (see half a dozen revisions per paper submitted per each edition) had that hard requirement, and this took place for each edition of a single journal.
Awesome story!

Plus it reminded me that I do need to finally start on my own LTO project, still today nothing can beat tape if you have huge amounts of data to backup and/or move.
Some of this is true - but by Soviets, not Russians. I'm not sure why you would conflate the two. Was Stalin Russian? Perhaps Beria? Trotsky? Dzerzhinsky? Lenin? :)

The stupidity of "Russians has occupied Baltics and killed all Russians" will vanish once you call the former the Soviet.

But mostly, it is baltic people themselves who got rid of Jews and helped get rid of Germans, and then after 1990 tried to get rid of Russians too.

> This has caused incredible cultural discontinuity. I just finished reading memoirs of a Russian who grew up there in the 1960s. From his youth, he remembers no old men telling stories to kids "how things used to be". In fact, he knows no-one who had lived there before the war

That's the story of many places past WWII. There was an unprecedented cultural discontinuity. For starters, St. Petersburg is resettled practically anew because almost all of its population either perished in the blockade or was evacuated and was not encouraged to return. Don't get me started on Polish and German resettlements. Why blame Russians for anything here? Russians are the same victims of the war as Baltic people and Jews and Poles and Germans themselves.

> run-down shithole full of angry and miserable rootless Russians who don't understand where they are and why everyone dislikes them so much

Can you perhaps stop disliking your compatriots for who they are, and maybe they will stop treating you as a Nazi who you currently objectively are.

I was 9 then DnD was "released", and me and my friends were already playing "dungeon" for years. We looked at the advertisements, one of the guys got the game kit, and we hated it. Dungeon (our game) was pure imagination, where the DnD was RULES and looking crap up and arguments. And spending money.

We argued for a day about it, and never played the official DnD again. I continued playing the pure imagination, no maps, everything vocal and conveyed live, like impromptu jazz, through the 80's, until my career ate my life.

I don't like the word coder. I don't write code, I write programs. I'm a programmer, or a software engineer, or a software developer, not a mere coder.

Low-code and no-code tools are often sneered at, and admittedly I don't use them, but there's no reason why code has to be the 'proper' way of doing things, and low-code and no-code regarded as toys for the children. It's just how we ended up doing things.

If you're creating programs, it doesn't matter what you made them out of. Writing code is the easy part: knowing what code to write, or what blocks to arrange, or whatever, is the hard part.

Are you sure you're not confusing D&D with AD&D? Pretty sure, the original D&D didn't have the player guide/dm guide split. There are also at least two version of the core first edition AD&D books, with the first edition (published late 70s)[1] being a lot more rare than the updated version (early 80s)[2]. The second print editions of the 1st edition AD&D books are the ones you tend to see everywhere.

Take what I say with a grain of salt — please do your own research — but I think both THC (to which you allude earlier in this thread) and alcohol affect REM sleep/deep sleep. In fact, THC might suppress REM sleep, rebounding when sober. That is why frequent smokers (specially before-sleep smokers) experience very tough nightmares when trying to sober up.

I have a fair amount of experience teaching children and adults how to play chess.

I've almost never seen a beginner mess up the basics of how the pieces move(what this piece set displays). Probably 95% of confusion about rules in new players is about the things you mention. Especially en passant and castling rules.

The rule on castling through check is especially confusing, and I've seen even master strength players believe that you can't castle long if b1 or b8 is attacked. Another common mistake is forgetting the rook or king has previously moved.

En passant is also very confusing for beginners because there's no indication of it being possible in the current board state. It depends on the previous ply.

Repetition is also a major footgun in tournament play. It's often referred to as repetition of moves, but it's actually repetition of the position(which is typically reached via repetition of moves, but doesn't have to). And there's a very specific procedure in tournament chess for claiming a repetition. You have to write down your move, stop the clock and call the arbiter without making the move. If you make the move and hit the clock, now your opponent has every right to make another move, creating a new position. The repetition no longer counts when that happens(so you can't claim e.g oh the position repeated a 3rd time 15 moves ago, gimme a draw).

I actually lost a game this way when I had a repetition in a losing position.
Ok guys, roll for Initiative.

The vaccine prevents against up to 9 HPV, including many genital wart [0] strains.

So I was wrong about herpes but my point was that it protects males against STIs and is just a handy vaccine to protect sexually active men against something they don’t want (some genital warts) and that seems like a greater motivator than reducing transmission to protect women from cervical cancer.

Because Steam has taken over some of the most important features of publishers : dealing with distributors and (built-in) advertising. (See also Epic Store which even gives funding !)

I would expect almost all of the studios that release on Steam to quickly go bankrupt if prevented to use it. So, ironically, Activision-Blizzard would be more indie than them, but I guess that "indie" also requires a limitation of size.
