Apparently you thought about it too much and came to the wrong conclusions.

Morally, sex is the last decision you get in the matter for both parties, or it is for neither party. No special pleading for how being the woman is special will be convincing.

"Think of the children" is also unconvincing for this line of reasoning, since we'd just ban abortions under that thought process and render the entire argument null and void. If adults matter enough to give one choice in pregnancy outcomes, then both adults should have some agency in how the pregnancy affects their lives. And if the government or "society" has a vested interest in making sure babies are made, they should be footing the bill rather than foisting it onto an unwilling father. Just like we did to women in the past, you would be taking away agency against his own body. A percentage of all of his efforts will go to something he doesn't want, enforced ultimately by the violence of the state, since you can lose your freedom of movement partially through a revoked license (idiotic) or completely through debtors prison if you fail to pay.

Since the pregnancy doesn't directly impact his body–only state imposed policies do–people don't connect the dots on it being a similar concern of "my body, my rights" for men. Or maybe they just don't want it to think about it as an issue of agency for men, because people generally do not care about men's agency or lack thereof (and to be totally fair, I believe people generally do not actually care about the agency of women, either).

Men do not exist to carry out the will of the state or "society".
More likely that the account of that dev was breawched, dont you think ?
> but we can make it harder for cyber-criminals

Why? Still throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Is there a huge number of problematic open source commits by "cyber criminals"? Would this even stop them? Doubtful. Will this make it harder for bona fide people to contribute? Certainly.
It does, but on the other hand, especially after reading Bullshit Jobs, I'll argue that a business has something akin to a moral obligation to not create more roles than are actually needed to run the business.
I think the point stands... 3.5x the employees, 24x the revenue.
I think they are moreso saying that GPUs are not optimized for those operations. CPU aren't "designed" for matrix multiplies yet we can still run them, albeit at a slower rate than on a GPU.
Is this the usual Tesla derangement syndrome or is cybertruck uniquely dangerous in this way? I wouldn’t want to put my fingers inside of any trunk/hood and close it.
Judges are supposed to be impartial but they're still just human. Moreover even when they are perfectly impartial (and the US is more lucky than they appreciate in how professional their federal judiciary is, particularly compared to the other branches) there are different kinds of judicial philosophies that can influence how laws are interpreted (which is particularly important since the US operates under a common law system) so these currents can be classified as broadly embraced by liberals/conservatives

Aside from the other comment regarding who appointed the judges

> chosen by the currently elected president whenever seats in the court become vacant

This is incomplete, the judges are nominated by the executive but have to be confirmed by the senate

Until recently (first Obama term I think) practically speaking a judge needed 2/3 of the senate to be confirmed, therefore in practice judges had an incentive to at least appear as moderate if they wanted to get eventually promoted.

Now that they need just a simple majority this incentive is gone and, since courts have been progressively been forced by politicians to make decisions for them, it arguably is reversed since now presidents with a majority in the senate will want to propose the most partisan judge they can get through their own party and lower judges know this

So probably it'll get worse
What are you confused about? I'd perhaps say that you'd have the same confusion with any other API. Your confusion is perhaps about unlearning OpenGL rather than learning WebGPU.
The same Lowell Wood whose group dreamed up the Brilliant Pebbles concept later came up with a return-to-the-Moon/Mars exploration scheme using some zany technology, including inflatable spacecraft, which the critics proceeded to name "Brilliant Condoms".
They say that one limitation on Wayland is that "AWT expects to be able to query and set the positions of all its own windows", but since AWT does an extremely poor job of this on X11, I hope this Wayland limitation will prevent the new implementation from trying.

For example, the first time you open a dialog window (or the main window in the SwingSet2 demo) you can usually see the contents drawn offset by a few pixels and then later redrawn correctly. I don't see that in the demo video, so maybe they fixed it, or maybe it's hidden by the opening animation. (It might also be harder to reproduce with certain window managers – I see it every time with Xfce but only sometimes with Openbox.)

Sometimes (although rarely) you can see Swing creating a window in the wrong location on screen, making it visible and then moving it to the correct location afterwards.

And on and off over the years, on both Linux and Windows, in different apps, I've seen Swing somehow manage to move focus to the wrong window when you switch too quickly with alt-tab.

So if AWT can't mess with the window position, that should hopefully improve things.
Sorry, to clarify, after I received a profound effect from the drug I scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with ADHD and I have been on my own prescription ever since.
I use Nim in production. It defaults to RC. The biggest benefit of runtime automatic memory management that rarely gets mentioned: You can easily eliminate almost all memory semantics from a typical server-side program. My code is 99.9% business logic, with the 0.1% being a couple procedures which interface to a C library.

Hardcore manual memory people seem to have completely misaligned priorities to real-world concerns. Maintainability, safety, productivity, and iteration speed seem to be bottom-of-list to the egotistic holy grail be being able to say they write their own memory routines. If they're not in an embedded context, I'm really unsure why anyone paying them to write code should care what they have to say. They're not talking about increasing robustness and reducing costs, so what the hell are they even rambling about? I've had too many of these debates in-person face-to-face with people who can't match my ability to deliver.

The vast majority of us are not smarter than the compiler, and are not smarter than automatic MM routines. Those who are write compilers and GCs. They don't work on the same programs we all write, just memory managed. It's the worst-kept secret that the remaining contexts where manual management is used often have the worst-maintained spaghetti codebases, leading to disasters, whistleblown scandles, and hush-hush covered catastrophes waiting in the wings while people get the hell out of dodge before they blow. It's all duct tape and prayers. Having had to inspect and translate procedures from a deliberately obfuscated spaghetti C codebase, my position on this is going to be hard to budge. Experience is an unbeatable Bayesian prior.

Interesting, I’ll need to see how this affects my use case. I assumed that devices plugged into power operate on power while charging the battery, at least my laptop does.
If an agency can regulate new processes and the agency creates a rule in 2014[1], the rule applies to processes created or changed on or after 2014.

In the same way, if a law requires backup cameras on new cars, the law applies to new cars not to a 1990 Lincoln.

Why is this not a good long-term strategy? What is a better strategy? It seems like the alternative may well have been to go bankrupt and go out of business, and that definitely isn't a great long-term strategy.

They benefit far less but they still do benefit on the whole

So... Not seeing the advantage for not unionizing, unless you think you're one of the top top top performers who might potentially be capped by a union instead of one of the mass of people who would be lifted up by it
Is (My) RSS Dead?
GitHub should not just reverse and make repo public and archived "as is", because there are many rolling distributions (from Gentoo to LFS), submodule pullers, CI systems, unaware users, which may pull and install the latest backdoored commit of archived project.

However if you want to access exact copies of backdoored tarballs, they are still available on every mirror, e. g. in http://gentoo.mirror.root.lu/distfiles/9f/ . For project of this level artifacts are checksummed and mirrored across the world by many people, and nothing wrong with that.
Since that repo is disabled: here is a mirror of the discussion [1]

I love these as an example of what I've called "scaling deeper". Elasticsearch is a fabulous technology for a general set of use-cases. But if you can define certain tasks specifically, there's often a very fast/cheap way to accomplish it outside of the general.

I remember a case where we needed to pull all incoming IP addresses for a given 24 hour period for certain common user-facing queries, and the specialized FPGA driven scalable database appliance was returning those queries in minutes. So instead we ran the query once a day, and then just flipped bits in a big bit array (IPv4 is half a GB of bits) and just let each array act as a standing query. A query for a certain day just mapped to a specific file, and some simple math would answer the query 0 for IP never seen 1 for IP seen. It was nearly instant.

It transformed a certain team's workflow from asking a few times a day for yesterday's IP visits to many times a day and then they started asking for the data over a period of months instead to look for patterns. Queries against this structure for the same thing over a year took less than a second. It all ran on a 4GB VM with a few GB of spinning rust storage. Pretty soon this was built into a bunch of custom tools across a bunch of teams and was feeding the data tens of thousands of times per day, then we started enriching it with geodata, reputation data, and other things. It also reduced the query load on the main dB substantially.

Very simple engineering, transformative, and required simply trying to find a way to scale deeper instead of building a bigger multimillion dollar dB.
Will give it a try, thanks!

Where’s the work on converging the two so (ideally) it doesn’t matter if you’re in the office or not?

I spend half my work time in a chem lab and half not in the lab. I would benefit if the two environments were not so disjoint.

> No remote technology comes close to having collaborators together in a room with a whiteboard, with a well-defined agenda.

Sad to say this is very true (with a minescule number of lucky exceptions IME). There is a lot of effort going into trying to narrow the gap but no breakthroughs yet that I have seen.

But there seems to be no work on the opposite.

For example these days it’s pretty routine to have automatic transcripts and recordings of zoom calls posted in the appropriate slack channels so you can catch up on parts (or all) you missed, refer to a discussion that might not have felt significant at the time, and so on. That stuff doesn’t exist in meatspace meetings.

The random asynchronous slack remark in the middle of the night can be transformative (most of course are useless). The same is true running into someone at the coffee machine.

We’re a startup but every morning we have a deliberately agendaless, unstructured call (late enough that kids are at school and you’ve had time to catch up on things if you want). Sometimes it’s 20 minutes and sometimes three hours. We ended up doing a major technology pivot as a result of this. But this doesn’t scale.
> Because not talking to users and then implementing a drastic change they don’t like sounds like a rookie move?

That sounds like every single sad tale where a change of management/executives forces some new process or tool on their underlings without any input. (Perhaps those are junior developer CTOs?)

So the thesis of the OP was straightforward and clear because of all the facts in the history. Replacing that with some generic tale about mismanagement and the accursed junior-run-amok is comparatively less interesting.
The war on drugs - marijuana specifically - is a war against the black community, as was admitted by Nixon's domestic policy chief[0].

Meanwhile, DuPont, 3C and other companies spend multiple millions of dollars on lobbying, political donations and bribery to ensure favorable laws and lax regulation. See the decision from the court in TFA - the concern for business overrides concern for public health.

It isn't crazy, it's just America. White supremacy and capitalism will always be the priority.

I mean, he was right at least. Jia Tan did have a bigger role.
I couldn’t tell you the articles I read on HN yesterday either.

I do however remember them when something relevant comes up in daily conversation.

For instance, today I was scrolling on TikTok and learned how to properly hold a bunny. It’ll stick with me. Will I be able to tell you that I learned how to hold a bunny tomorrow? Probably not. The retention will remain though.

Same way I couldn’t tell you what I had for breakfast yesterday. Maybe a muffin? Idfk.

> Except in the special case ...

IME it's the other way around, per-object individual lifetimes is a rare special case, in most real world code there will be many related objects of the same or very similar lifetimes. In such code, tracking individual object lifetimes is overkill (in the end, memory management is all about lifetimes, and fewer individual lifetimes instead of many is always better because it means less work, both in manual and automatic memory management).

Not having to think about object lifetimes is just very convenient, that's why GC languages were successful despite the significant under-the-hood complexity of a good garbage collector.
That bridge brand new, same result.

People see the headline and the image and walk away misinformed.

These ships have the mass of a skyscraper. Building a bridge you can throw a apartment building at doesn't make sense even if it was possible.

If we can't find crews who can manage this, we may need to pay them more and have higher standards for them.

This is a ship problem not a bridge problem.
Does wired internet work with Ethernet dongle connected? Or my assumption that wireless might use more power is incorrect?
> If you're not sure, put everything behind Cloudflare and don't expose your origin at all.

While I very much understand where this sentiment comes from. Please do not blindly recommend CF.

Cloudflare seems invisible for gullible users, but is unusable and hostile to humans.

I use a VPN to a static IP by Hetzner, not to hide my true identity. But because I have to, my current living situation has my (only available) internet running through a corporate network, packet filtering/logging and all. (Yes this is all legal and I am grateful).

But still to remain any kind of privacy I have to use a VPN. My public IP is registered directly to my full name and has not changed in 3 years.

I also try and limit the amount of unnecessary data my browser transmits.

The combination of those has CF absolutely convinced that I am a existential threat to any site they so honorably "protect".

I simply cannot use ANY site with the default CF configuration. And no, I'm not the only one. This is a very common problem among humans that don't want to share everything about them to pass a human verification.

Cloudflare is the cancer of the Internet. They protect and enable criminals, only to sell the solution later. All the while, ridiculing humans into giving up more and more data in the name of safety. They trick users with promises of "Securing the connection" when they are just matching the browser to their database to sell another page visit. The internet used to be a free and open connection to the world, cloudflare has build a panopticon of surveillance and false security and they are being praised for it.

I see in your comments some bias too. You assume that UX designer made wrong choices, hence this person was junior. In fact, many designers have specialization and the choices made were good from a perspective of a printed media designer (management error - wrong hire/assignment). Or the designer was not aware of specific use cases, that were not communicated by the product manager. It is very easy and straightforward to blame the designer, but the root causes are very often somewhere else. Too often it’s just failure to understand specialization and hiring wrong people for the job.
But does that include the personalized settings for a specific site?

I mean Tools menu -> Page Info -> Permissions

An example: the gong doesn't sounds when a game starts in lichess if you have autoplay disabled for sound. You need to allow that for the site. There are other configurations there like accepting cookies, etc.
I guess it depends on the ultimate goal.

If the ultimate goal is to avoid backdoors in critical infrastructures (think government systems, financial sector, transportation,...) you could force those organizations to use forks managed by an entity like CISA, NIST or whatever.

If the ultimate goal is to avoid backdoors in random systems (i.e. for "opportunistic attacks"), you have to keep in mind random people and non-critical companies can and will install unknown OSS projects as well as unknown proprietary stuff, known but unmaintained proprietary stuff (think Windows XP), self-maintained code, and so on. Enforcing TS clearances on OSS projects would not significantly mitigate that risk, IMHO.

Not to mention that, as we now know, allies spy and backdoor allies (or at least they try)... so an international alliance doesn't mean intelligence agencies won't try to backdoor systems owned by other countries, even if they are "allies".

A better metric is the percentage of all cases. SCOTUS granting cert already indicates there's significant willingness to overturn more often than not
It is funny how the goalposts moved.

> The last product google ever built and launched successfully.

Now becomes "it doesn't count if it was an acquisition". Youtube would probably be dead if any other company purchased it. Google ate losses for years with it. Golang is a developer product. Chrome was not an acquisition. Maybe you are splitting hairs and saying it is an "acquisition" if they forked an open source project.
Of course I do. But laws are written and enforced by people, and those people have their own interests and biases.

I'm lamenting that the laws we have and the people enforcing them seem to bias towards profits at the expense of health. That is more important to make a small count people wealthy over a large number healthy.
This is a common and ridiculous take, that could only be seriously proposed if one totally is ignorant of history. The burning-down-ness however measured has been as high and worse many times in many places. I mean, your great grand parents lived through the Great Depression and WW2.

Obviously, the issue isn't more burning-down-ness today, but rather, the fact that many people feel that way is itself a symptom of a cultural problem, maybe driven by media/technology pushing the most controversial, depressing arguments possible, since that's what drives clicks and ad impressions.
FWIW... i was an early adopter of SourceForge and absolutely loved it for the first few years. It was a godsend at the time. At some point (2004? 2006?) its web interface became so ad-ridden that it was effectively unusable, and that was what drove me away from SourceForge.
Shaving unapeung weight down, even by a small fraction of the total vehicle weight, will dramatically affect handling and perceived ride quality. Even though the battery makes an EV heavier than an equivalent ICE car, there is still the need to reduce unsprung weight. Thus, it would be better to have the motor inboard and run a cv axle out to the wheel than have the entire mass of the motor out on the wheel.
Without some serious fuse/filtering, I don't think I'd feel good about plugging it into the wall. It's easy enough to get a battery pack that can provide enough juice to run this for testing sessions, so why risk it, even if the risk is small?
In the UK we have the BBC where every word is considered to be a fact. They have TV channels and radio shows where 'today's curated and extremely edited sound-bites' are broadcast every 30 minutes, 24/7.

At least with billionaire owners it's taken as read there is going to be some nuance.
