> It shows the gigantic double standard that only anti-establishment conservatives are scrutinized by the establishment and persecuted into oblivion

No it doesn't. It shows that opposition research is done on everyone, and Trump (who already had an unprecedented reputation for lying, racism, sharp business practices, infidelities, bankruptcies, bullyig lawsuits and dubious associations) maybe got more.

Everyone in business and politics has always known Trump is a shady, thin-skinned bullying narcissist. Of course the opposition research on him was going to be a field day.

> Before J6 he was still the most hated person by the establishment and those who trust the establishment.

Because he's a shady, narcissistic bully with an unprecedented record of dodgy dealings.
>It's likely the washing process still scratches the glass but it's less visible. It doesn't increase the "safe" life of the glass, as bacteria is still able to get into those scratches.

Honestly, I've never heard of this before and I have friends working in the restaurant industry. Is it a real documented health hazard or a FUD spread by the glass manufacturers to create perpetual demand for their product (Glass As A Service)?

My grandma still uses the same glassware from like 30+ years ago and washes it by hand and it doesn't look tarnished at all. Is she and our family likely to die from drinking from those old glassware with micro scratches?
I’m sure my former employer would have loved that.

But no, you don’t send two requests. You compare the calls as they are generated, but you only send one - from the production system. And then you clone the response for the tested system.

For having worked 30 years to get out of the socially inept zone, and given plenty of people consume known carcinogens willingly, I think this statement is a bit simplistic at best.

Smokers know they should stop smoking but it's hard to do so. Yet the path is clear.

If you are socially blind by nature, the path is really not clear and you are going to suffer from your ignorance while painfully battling to get out of a hole you can't see but feels very much is trapping you.

The modern food oil industry is such a confusion one in my opinion.

For example, canola oil is actually just rapeseed oil. They had to cultivate breeds of brasiccas that were low enough in erucic acid for human consumption. Then they realized that selling rapeseed oil may not be a great brand and they named it Canola, Canadian oil low acid.

Also pretty much anything you would think of as a vegetable oil isn't actually a vegetable oil, its a seed oil.

> pub glasses are manufactured to indicate their age

I was first confused by this because here in France we have this popular practice, mainly at the school cafeteria, to look at the bottom of our glass to know how old we are (actually it's the mold number obviously...) and depending of the people, the younger (or the older) gets to fetch water for everyone else during lunch.

You’re absolutely right.

I think what will really set this in people’s minds is when a company forks and maintains an AGPL clone.

System76 is who I would shout out to considering they maintain their own Ubuntu based distro, and their own Desktop Environment for it. I'm sure there's others, but S76's POP OS has been my main Linux distro for a few years now. Things just work. I hope more people buy their hardware and they can devote more resources to making POP OS (and by side effect) and Linux in general better for us all.
This article's brief explanation of how the process works seems somewhat misleading, as it claims that the ion substitution creates tension in the glass, which makes it harder for cracks to spread - but cracks propagate under tension.

As I understand it, the substitution of larger potassium ions for smaller sodium ions in the surface layer creates a compressive stress in the surface, and while this results in a counterbalancing tension in the interior, it is the surface compression which inhibits crack propagation.

This is how tempered glass works, except the surface compression and interior tension is the result in the greater shrinkage of the slowly-cooling interior. The interior tension is also the reason why these glasses shatter into tiny pieces when they do break (see also Prince Rupert's drops: there are many videos on Youtube.)

I am wondering if the chemical process is slow, which might be another reason for it not being adopted for ordinary objects such as drinking glasses.
Nah, the van goes slow and they have medical people right there, you could die there but it's essentially not going to happen.
Thanks, corrected the typo
> I don't think smashing is the kind of issue they're making it out to be.

I never ran a restaurant but Googling around it seems like bars replace around 100% of the glasses annually due to breaking. That sounds like a lot...

> Normal glasses are recyclable

I've never seen anyone collecting broken glass and putting it in a special glass-bin. The glass bin we have in Amsterdam isn't one that you can even push broken glass into if you wanted - it's shaped specifically to receive bottles.

Most resources online hint that the reason this hard glass didn't become successful is because there's a lot of profit to be made by reselling glasses when your old glass breaks.

> There were ways around this. C functions in the standard library could easily be marked noexcept, for one.

C++ standard library function yes, C standard library functions, incloding those imported into C++ are more complicated since on most platforms those are not provided by the C++ implementation but some other lower level library. Third-party libraries are the bigger concern though.

> Extern C could also imply noexcept.

In theory this might be correct but in practice this will cause problems with C functions that take callbacks which the user might want to throw from. These are already problematic especially since the C code won't unwind anything but you'd still need to concern yourself with potentially breaking user code.

> Also, explicit try/catch blocks could be required when calling a potentially-throwing function from a noexcept function - slightly annoying, but not a huge problem in practice.

Yes, but avoiding that is the whole point. The try-cach for potentially when you call potentially throwing functions is already implicitly provided by current noexcept and if your noexcept function only calls only noexcept functions then the compiler can already elide all that.

> Overall this was just another case of the C++ community's preference for speed over safety and robustness.

Not at all. If that was the case then noexcept would only be a compiler hint and exceptions bubbling up to noexcept functions would be undefined behavior. Arguably that would be better than what we have now.
Yes, Boston is considered the educational capital of the planet.

Boston itself is about 700,000 people, but if you extend things to a 20 mile radius from Boston (say from DTX), in that area there is a transient student population of 400,000 people that are only there to attend higher education and ultimately call elsewhere home. Within 20 miles of Boston are several dozen (nearly 60?) universities, making education one of its six or seven tent-pole industries.

I got it fabbed at JLCPCB, though later realized that the stock panel had counterbores on its mounting holes so the screws would be flush. JLC can't do that, so I'm going to see if I can DIY that with the drill press at my local hackerspace before I get the next run made.

I also accidentally got them made out of PCBs of the wrong thickness, and I forgot that the CPU module and wireless antennas would be in the top half so there's a full copper layer underneath that lettering which won't be great for wireless reception. Ah well, you live and learn :)

Either performance or stability/reliability. Or even both.

At higher frequencies (during a frequency boost phase for example) signal quality in the digital signals degrades, because the "stable 1" or "stable 0" plateau is shortened and the "maybe 1 or 0" phase in between stays the same. So a signal that is supposed to be as rectangular as possible gets smushed down towards a sinus, and then smushed even further towards lower amplitudes.

One measure against this is of course better (faster) transistors, such that the "maybe" phase is shorter, but that only works by replacing the hardware. The other measure, which you can do during runtime, is to increase the signal amplitude by increasing the voltage. Then even a degraded signal close to the transistors' maximum switching frequency gets over the "stable 1" and "stable 0" thresholds fast enough.

With a lower supply voltage you can thus not clock the CPU as high as before which is important in boost phases during high load. Which would decrease peak performance in standard desktop and server workloads, and decrease overall performance in compute-intensive workloads. Or if you still clock it as high as before, signal quality will be lessened, increasing the probability of bit errors, lessening system stability and reliability of results.

Which direction intel will pick for this firmware upgrade, degraded-performance, degraded-stability or degraded-both, I don't know, I guess we'll see.
"In the case of the Superfest glass, the anonymity of the makers was also politically desired. The GDR’s regime preached solidarity and unity. The prevailing ideology regarded the collective more highly than the talents and abilities of the individual. Even though Superfest glasses were ubiquitous in every bar, canteen and household in the Soviet satellite state, few people had heard of Paul Bittner, Fritz Keuchel and Tilo Poitz, the design collective who gave them their shape."

Interesting how the article laments, that they did not name the designers, but then happily ignore the names of the actual inventors of the material:

"The groundbreaking technology they deployed was developed in the 1970s at the Department for Glass Structure Research at the Central Institute for Inorganic Chemistry near Dresden. The material scientists there knew that when glass breaks, it is typically due to microscopic cracks in the material’s surface which form during the production process. Dramatically increasing the toughness of the glass surface was possible, they found, by replacing the smaller sodium ions in the glass with electronically charged potassium ions. Potassium ions need more space, pressing harder against neighbouring atoms and building up more tension that needs to be overcome for the microscopic cracks to get bigger"

I believe the technology in itself, is a bit more admirable and rather the people involved mentioning, than those who were using it to shape a glass.

Lets just take a moment to give thanks for the technology that has made "dungeon synth" possible.
The reason we ended up with digital logic is because of noise. Hysteresis from digital gates was the only way to make such large systems from such small devices without all of our signaling turning into a garbled mess. Analog processing has its niches and I suspect the biggest niche will be where that noise is a feature rather than a hindrance, something like continuous time neutral networks.
It seems highly dubious to me that breast feeding alone would have anything to do with it. The idea that mammals evolved in such a way that women breast feed their babies only to get colorectal cancer specifically because they breast fed seems very evolutionarily confusing.

Maybe there is something else going on where environmental conditions or toxins combined with breast feeding somehow cause and issue, but I can't imagine its just due to breast feeding.

I can put an SSD drive into my wife's 2010 Macbook Pro, and give it new life, and Linux works really nicely on older Macs, though I'd rather let her keep her old Mac so she can look at all her old photos, etc.

I can't truly do that on most Macs anymore, nor replace the RAM. Apple made their macbooks too thin, arguably I'm grateful for less carry weight, but realistically, I want to be able to replace faulty components with ease.
What we can say for sure is:

1. By common standards, this is considered bad practice, especially in the context in which WordPress operates. User enumeration is widely considered to be an unacceptable consequence of error messages this specific, in most circumstances.

2. There are only very slightly more cumbersome ways to get the functionality desired by this choice (e.g., ‘forgot password’ email loop that’ll email you if you entered an email address for which no account exists).

Bluntly, WP is from a time where security was considered an afterthought, and done very poorly. Especially in PHP land.

They’re undoubtedly carrying a lot of that legacy code, and more importantly, a lot of that cultural baggage.
Indeed.

There's nothing you possibly draw on paper that answers the question, in isolation. A diagram on paper means exactly the same thing if you simultaneously (i) flip it, and (ii) flip your mental interpretation if it.

Or: if you run a software program on a raster image, there exists a different program that returns identical output given an input image which is mirror-flipped copy of the first one. (It's just the first program, plus a pre-processing step that flips its input (which is computable). If f is a computable program, and f(img) = "left" and f(flip(img)) = "right", there exists a computable program g=f∘flip such that g(img) = "right" and g(flip(img)) = "left").

Similarly: there's nothing you can do in complex analysis that can distinguish the case where all +sqrt(-1)'s are swapped with -sqrt(-1)'s. Nor can you invent any math whatsoever that has an isomorphism to the plane, that works differently if the plane is mirror-reversed.

I know it's a meme on HN to rant about the terrible JavaScript ecosystem and how bad JS developers are, but I would ask that if you're going to do it you be specific about what you mean instead of just generally accusing it of being "bad".

It's not even that I disagree, it's that it's a conversation killer. "The JS ecosystem is bad" has no response someone could make besides "no it's not", which is boring. "The JS ecosystem encourages using a million tiny unmaintained packages and that is bad" is a much more interesting statement that can spark a useful discussion.

https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/glibc clearly proves otherwise. It just can't be built to your satisfaction with complete verifiability.

You don't have to use it for everything, that's a straw man. If Guix-darwin was willing to accept some impurity, you could probably use XCode just enough to bootstrap a glibc and compiler chain, and then dispense with it.

Having a completely verifiable toolchain is a laudable political goal, not a technical requirement.

nix-darwin's existence clearly shows there are no technical obstacles to an equivalent guix-darwin.

Believe me, I wanted to like Guix. I'd prefer a Lisp over the nix language, easily. But I'm losing respect for the project based on its messengers.
