This doesn't make sense to me. The government is more than thrilled to stir negative sentiment against every geopolitical competitor we have via the media, if this is one of said competitors drones then they obviously would know if it had been captured, and if you're concerned about public 'panic' - you already released the information anyhow.

You also have government planes doing loopity-loos around Langley with their public transponders turned on which shows a desire to make such actions publicly visible and available to literally anybody and everybody on the planet.
Requiring personal replies is ridiculous, yes. Doesn't that make faking them even more so?
Yeah, I didn't know until stumbling upon this tutorial that White could exploit Black's limitations. Even having known about Gomoku beforehand, the Renju rules were still difficult to wrap my head around.
Some people feel a moral imperative to try to steal from these stores.
One could say that people still need a place to live regardless of the interest rate.

If average people can't afford the interest rates my parents were paying back in the '70s and the people who can afford these rates -- because they can get a reasonable ROI through something like AirBnB -- are still buying up the supply of 'excess' homes then it could be argued that the Fed's meddling is ineffective.
That's assuming you're keeping no metadata about your C array(s) that you're bounds-checking, which would be very slow indeed. :o You'd be traversing pointers until you hit a tombstone value or something. But would anyone do this in performance-chasing code? Cuz, otherwise, with metadata to support your bounds checks, you're doing the same thing that I assume std::vector is doing: asking your array metadata about whether something's in bounds. And that's extra cycles, which can add up depending on what you're doing!

Btw, in my experience, std::vector is fast. Insanely fast. "I don't understand how it can be so fast", "barely distinguishable from raw arrays in C" fast. Not doing bounds checking is probably part of that, though far from the whole story.
I was going to suggest this book as well, but no need if you're here doing it. Just a quick thanks for the book! I've read it multiple times whenever I feel nostalgic, and recommend when the subject comes up. I've even gifted a few copies.
I get an eerie feeling its because Micrsoft/OpenAI wants to allow GPT to be granted a law license. or some similar AI shenanigan
That is not with flakes, nor does it pin nixpkgs.

It tracks nixpkgs-23.11

Now at the bottom it links to an example of pinning without using flakes, but the page you linked directly does not pin nixpkgs.

Flakes pin by default, and defaults matter. Using flakes, anything that isn't explicitly listed with a hash to ensure it's unchanged must be explicitly listed as an input, and a lock file for the inputs is automatically generated.

Players and streamers speculate that it's a remote code execution exploit and that the r5apex.exe and EA servers have been compromised.

IMO it's more likely they were spear phished and had their machines compromised.

In any case, it's an interesting hack that I've never seen happen live in esports where a player is given aimbot or wall hacks as they are streaming on twitch.

As a warning, many of the explanations for what happened misuse technical terminology as if they were script-writers for NCIS :)

She certainly didn't have a total tax rate of 40% with an entry level job. Maybe a marginal tax rate of 40% for a very small top percentage of her income.

You need an income of around 180k€/year to pay 40% total tax rate. That is very high end income here too, in the top 1% range.

Now, public health care (Germany does not have universal healthcare) and social security are not taxes, but if you include them in the total, you'd land at 40% somewhere around 40-50k€/year, which is still way out of reach for an entry level administrative job, which would be around half of that.

Both public health care and social security are near worthless here by the way, as both systems are near bankrupt and it shows. Mainly caused by millions of illegal immigrants receiving the same services for free, without ever paying a cent into the system.
Hey Ethan! Han from Mintlify here.

It's been awhile I hope you're doing well!

The vulnerability issue that you reported, if I recall correctly, was relating to server-forwarding attacks via our API playground. We've addressed that issue around 8 months ago, and unfortunately, it was not the root of this incident.

Please correct me if I am wrong though!
Pretty much. I don't think anyone is ever getting a dedicated Renju board.
Isn't this just true about everything? Having a bunch of shipping companies makes way less sense than having a single globally-integrated logistics solution that everyone uses that could therefore know about and plan around far larger scales.

What I'm trying to say is I don't understand your point.

The Parents in My Classroom
Okay, I'm seeing these illegal farms exist, but where exactly is the evidence for a causal link between marijuana legalization and these illegal farms?

I'm actually seeing some evidence that there's no connection between legalization and the illegal farms at all.

For example, the first article says that most of the weed grown on illegal farms in Maine isn't being sold in Maine, it's being sold in Canada. I'm just not seeing how legalization in Maine would result in more marijuana being grown illegally and sold in Canada.

The second article says, "A big part of the problem is rooted in the legalization of industrial hemp, which looks and smells like marijuana but won’t get you high." I.e. the article you posted directly disagrees with your assertion that legalization of marijuana is the cause.
During COVID there was the whole ivermectin thing.

It turns out ivermectin actually really does statistically improve COVID outcomes, but only in places where it is common for people to have parasitic infections.

So there is a truth, but there is also a greater more true truth. It might be true that TikTok was drumming up support for Israel and that's "why" it was banned. On the other hand, the genocide that is definitely happening in Gaza is (rightly) de-legitimizing to the ruling party in Washington and threatens to demoralize their voters, opening up the US to a candidate who has been very clear about ending democracy and constitutional rule.

So while it could be that china supports Gaza in a meaningful way (which I very much doubt given their own genocides), it could also be that China is attempting to further agitate political divides and cause chaos. I find it much more believable that China is promoting those stories to hurt the US than to help Gaza.

How does latency affect text-art movies? Is there audio going out of sync?

Movies don't respond to anything you're doing. A movie could be delayed by 2 seconds, and you wouldn't know, if the audio is synced, and you're not jumping around in it where you'd notice the buffering delays.
Allowing the chinese to buy foreign goods is not giving away our IP it's selling goods which is what you normally do with goods. And yes it selling them goods would slow down their tech advancement for the reasons I listed - it's an ironic emergent behavior but it is one that repeats all the time so people should know about it. Nassim Taleb calls it antifragile but it has occurred throughout history. You make an enemy stronger by attacking them, which is not to say don't attack your enemies, just be more careful about it.

I said I think we'll lose and even if we win the result will still be calamitous. I think people have rose tinted glasses of the 1950s and think that a war time economy and a military victory will bring that back. It wont.
Did they ever figure out how to run nix on top of MacOS? When I see a project uses Nix I know the creators aren't serious.

It's kind of like seeing something is written in Lisp or Scheme... somebody decided that functional systems and running code aren't worth it. Instead they'll build a system which is perfect in all ways in theory but nobody can or will ever use.
>a white collar CEO at a private US company just decided one day that his company was going to start committing felonies

This part seems pretty normal, actually.
I perceive it as an experimental sector. They want to keep a finger in the VR productivity pie; moreover, they want to keep their fingers in all VR pies. But if you check out their primary commm channels - email newsletter, ads etc - there's nothing about productivity there. In their app store it is a small insignificant and sometimes hard to find corner.
This doesn't make sense. There are tons of other business which will have higher day to day return and property appreciation. I don't think anyone was craving for car wash subscription and I don't know of anyone having car wash in their checklist monthly item. Those people exist for sure but not in that kind of demand that a town needs even two of them.

I think this is just another instance where private equity is creating imaginary business model of subscriptions and selling it to its investors. The money managers will get huge management fees and will disappear before the whole thing collapses in coming years. Meanwhile, they will run a lot of good and necessary businesses out of town.
> we shouldn’t oppose small scale sustainable businesses being embedded in residential zones.

In at least some areas of the US I have seen a move in the last ten years or so towards doing this in what would otherwise be typical suburban developments. Maybe that will spread.
The moderate position in the US appears to be building Chinese manufacturing excellence, forever wars and a path to some sort of bankruptcy-style debt monetisation crisis. That has been the consensus position across both major US parties for around 50 years.

The moderate path in Europe has been to push software dominance to the US and manufacturing excellence to China. They appear to have failed to keep the peace in Europe to the point where there is a major and apparently escalating war afoot on the continent. The energy crisis is ongoing too.

What are the extremists going to threaten us with?

We have five or six car washes in town (I think...we're pretty spread out, so there might be a few I've never noticed). One is fully automated, no humans touch it. One is low-staff: a couple of guys running wet mops over the exterior before the car goes through. One is pretty full service, with a squad of guys pre-cleaning, minor detailing, hand waxing. The last two (and part of the full-service wash) is four or carport-like stalls with hoses and soap, the driver does all the work.

As the article says, automated or even semi-automated car washes don't provide much employment or sales tax revenue. On sunny days, some of these washes have vehicles sitting in line, waiting their turn...most with their engines idling.

I live in an apartment so managing my own washing is impractical, and is actively discouraged by the landlord. My 15-year-old car goes through the wash three or four times a year, and it's finish is still fine, thanks.
In 2012, they brought in $788,526 - where did that go? Who is the leader of the indigenous community making these decisions? Was the journalist able to get a comment from them? If not, why not?
I see you made it to the fourth bullet point in the first paragraph of one of the two links.

> I believe the parent was referring to short-term rentals.

If short term rentals are the issue, then short term rentals specifically should be addressed. But that's not what the post I responded to actually said.

Also, I don't think the kind of renters that the article under discussion is saying are having difficulty making ends meet are people who are renting short term rental properties like AirBnbs.
I think there’s enough pointed inclusions in the article to make that clear, to be fair. Although I agree it seems weirdly restrained, like half an article.
Yes. Etrade reports the cost basis of RSUs as $0 on the 1099. You then must manually adjust the cost basis using a second schedule that shows the value of the RSU already taxed as income at the time of vesting. If you don't make this adjustment, you will be paying taxes on thousands of dollars in "gains" that aren't actually gains and have already been taxed as income.
You’re agreeing with me.

> Rethink how we engage, respect them, respect their consent.

One way to characterize this is leadership. Most open source software authors are terrible leaders!

You’re way too polite. Brother, who is making a mistake and deserves blame? Users? Open source non corporate software maintainers? Google employees? Someone does. It can’t be “we.” I don’t make any of these mistakes, leave me out of it! I tell every non corporate open source maintainer to add basic anonymized telemetry, PR a specific opt-out solution with my preferred Plausible, and argue relentlessly with users to probe the vapors they base their telemetry fears on. We’re both trying to engage on the issue, but the average HN reader is downvoting me. Because “vibes.” Vibes are dumb! Just don’t be afraid to say it.
I thought the people who didn’t complain (or who didn’t comment at all) were much smarter.

This is the same as saying "the Lisp community existed."

The government also benefits from sales taxes, licenses, permitting fees, etc.
This is pretty awful work advice for the average person. Most people aren't Feynman.

Taking this approach can free up your calendar, and it might even work out okay for you IF you are already indespensbile and you just produce so much value for your company that they'll put up with it.

For everyone else, you might end up with your calendar permanantly cleared.

As for the aspects relating to personal life, the author sounds like they could use some help.

My use of the word liberal is not related to my use of the word spineless. There’s an “and” there and those are two unrelated adjectives. Doesn’t read well, though.

Very cool read! I wasn’t working during your time, but I recently have been working on maxmind db datasets.

Virtually any popular social media platform is an intelligence threat "in theory." Personally, I think TikTok has very little redeeming value for viewers or creators and I think its extreme focus on fostering addictive usage preys on some users to their detriment.

However, I also also think trying to shut it down based speculative claims of being an intelligence threat are a bad idea and would set a terrible precedent.
Yeah some of the oil change places in my town don’t even require you to get out of the car. You just pull up, read the news for a few minutes and then pay and drive off.
I’m not sure what you mean. They compiled a list of technology specialists and concluded that there was enough evidence there to claim that IT experts are being targeted. The list includes names such as Haitham Muhammad Al-Nabahin. If you want an independent verification that he was indeed killed, and a prominent programmer, here is a news link[1] published the day before this report. You can do the same for e.g. Tariq Thabet[2].

The people on the list compiled by Euro-med HRM were all killed by the Israeli army in its ongoing genocide in Gaza. It doesn’t matter how biased the source is, the list is still there full of martyrs, each one of them experts in the IT industry, and no doubt some of them even with accounts here on HN which they leave behind.

Something tells me an arm is a mechanical limb composed of connected poles that turn at their joints. And a hose-like limb without suckers should have its own name. A foot is an "arm", a penis is something else.

I think that's true though my original comment I feel was sufficient in its claim and implicit assumptions.

Basically I feel people's feelings about Elon vary a lot but are anchored by 3 general categories.

> 1. Elon Musk is a messianic savior who is perfectly selfless and always does the right thing. Every business decision he makes is for the maximal good of humanity

> 2. Elon Musk is a typical CEO who does typical CEO things, serving his own interests, except he's better at marketing his own image and is much more outspoken

> 3. Elon Musk is an irredeemable evil who always does objectively wrong things

My first comment was implicitly addressed to people in the 1 camp trying to bring them into the 2 camp (which is where I am).

It could be one instruction: ENTER N,0 (where N is the amount of stack space to reserve for locals)---this is the same as:

PUSH EBP
MOV ESP,ESP
SUB SP,N

(I don't recall if ENTER is x86-64 or not). But even with this, the frame setup isn't atomic with respect to CALL, and if the snapshot is taken after the CALL but before the ENTER, we still don't get the fame setup.

As for the reason why ENTER isn't used, it was deemed too slow. LEAVE (MOV SP,BP; POP BP) is used as it's just as fast as, if not faster, than the sequence it replaces. If ENTER were just the PUSH/MOV/SUB sequence, it probably would be used, but it's that other operand (which is 0 above in my example) that kills it performance wise (it's for nested functions to gain access to upper stack frames and is every expensive to use).

Out of curiosity, do you live in a high snow area? I wash my car pretty regularly once the road salt starts coming out, most car washes here do some manner of undercoat to help with the salt rust.

Yup, here's the problem [0]:

def calculate_backlinks(
pages: Dict[str, Page], attachments: Dict[str, Attachment]
) -> None:
for page in pages.values():
for link in page.links:
linked_page = find(pages, attachments, link)
if not linked_page:
info(f"unable to find link", link, page.title)
continue

linked_page.backlinks.append(page)

No deduplication performed. Since he's parsing the backlinks directly out of the markdown, you don't have to worry about a recursive loop where the backlinks section on one page appears as links in another. A simple solution would be to change the datatype of backlinks from list to set.

> No analogies apply, ever, to determining the nature of reality.

Maybe not in your head. But as soon as you introduce language and shared meaning they do. You don’t even know if the color I call blue appears to me physically the same as it does to you. We can agree that it corresponds to a specific wavelength but we just have to guess if we’re both experiencing it in the same way.

But I digress. That doesn’t matter anyways because we aren’t talking about the nature of reality in this thread, we are talking about agreed upon normative judgments. Not just what is, but what should be.

And that always relies on analogy. How could it not?

You are fighting straw men way harder than others are moving goal posts. Who, specifically, argued vehemently in 2022 that dogs aren't conscious and now admits that they are? Who is in any doubt over whether cats and pigs have meaningfully different levels of consciousness than dogs? Are you or are you not simply inventing whole swathes of people who conveniently held the exact positions that you need people to have held in order for your argument to be convincing?
That's due to poverty... calorie dense, highly processed food is cheap as hell due to mass production efficiencies, but high quality food? Groceries? Ain't no one got the money for that, or they live in "food deserts" [1].

For poor kids, it's even worse, because all they have other than sub-par school lunches is whatever microwave meal their parents can afford not just financially but also time-wise. Cooking for a family takes time and energy, both scarce when you gotta work two jobs to make ends meet.
