This started with somebody snarkily asking what the US fine was for just visiting a "forbidden" Web site, in the context of a Brazilian court order applying a large fine for just visiting Xitter. Not visiting Xitter in the course of planning a murder, not visiting Xitter in the context of sedition or whatever, just visiting any content on Xitter for any reason whatsoever.

It's pretty clear that this person thought there were such penalties, but in fact the US has absolutely nothing analogous. No order remotely like that would be issued in the US, because it's so obviously unconstitutional. If some third-tier hick judge did issue such an order, it would be overturned on appeal. If it were issued by the Supreme Court (and, no, not even the current Supreme Court would do that), all hell would break loose throughout the political system. It'd be a constitutional crisis. There are no such fines in the US. The US does lots of things wrong, but this is one of the areas the US tends to get right.

You're dredging up unrelated scenarios involving not-even-hypothetically-existent crimes that nobody was talking about. This is not about trying to use Web site visits to set somebody up for some crime they didn't commit, or even for some crime they did commit. Your weird scenario about, I don't know, being wrongfully charged with something else because your Web history somehow made somebody think you'd done it, is completely out of left field. The issue is entirely whether there's a penalty for visiting a Web site, and what you're talking about is totally irrelevant. And the hypothetical you seem to be trying to spin sounds less like being convicted of murder when there's no body, and more like being convicted of murder when the victim is known to be alive.
"The author decided..."

'The author decided' is not physics. Suggest you look at the Wiki page under 'Wavelength': https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision

Green: 500 - 590nm,
Cyan: 485 - 500nm,
Blue: 450 - 485nm.

Color vision theory is far too complicated to discuss here, and I'm not going to debate cyan as a mixed color of blue and green wavelengths versus a fixed wavelength that's in between both of them.

What the author provided was, at best, misleading but nonsense as far as science is concerned.

If the author said he was an artist and presented colors as a preferential list it would have been a different matter.

BTW, I don't mind being voted down (it happens to me regularly), but here those who did are only showing their ignorance. I'd add the author—who penned here—ought to explain his actions in much more detail.
(not the author) There's techniques for consistent-phase audio synthesis like phase vocoders, but they are beyond my current knowledge.
In the past, Apple explicitly forbade this except in certain negotiated cases like Spotify and Netflix if I recall correctly. Has that changed?
In many cases, you're obligated to not record people in public without their permission. That's the norm, for example, in Sweden, apparently.

40 years copyright sounds about right to me, half the average human lifetime and certainly most of one’s highly productive lifetime.
Which is why another 30% cut would make it impossible for the actual devs to make any money, unless of course, you charge more on iOS.
I forget which financial institution I was using at the time, but they explicitly only supported one key. That is, you add a new one and the old one is expunged.

Banks are so slow with this sort of thing, and still require SMS as a fallback option.
It's good, but I'm snagging on the examples here; for instance, the insistence on consistent use of camel or snake case. That seems to me to be purely a tooling limitation; a more code-aware grep could just automatically synthesize the covering regexp for both. It feels like there's a sweet spot in between LSP-ism and grep-ism that isn't being captured.
Exactly. Even then, the situation regarding text books is insane. Something like these could easily be fixed in many ways. Just in my opinion, text books should be free, based on publicly funded research and MIT or CC licensed and free and open to anyone who wishes to learn. The fact that we gate keep knowledge (that is often research funded by tax payers) behind wealth is a giant she embarrassing stain on this country and this era.
Another side. I always worry more about being locked out by 2FA (a main use case of non-discoverable FIDO keys) as a consequence of lost/retired-then-forgotten keys.

This happened once when the US custom detained my electronics, including a Yubikey. Later I managed to recover many accounts that accept email for 2FA or as the ultimate auth factor (i.e., password/2FA reset). But a few, including AWS, doesn't allow that.

Many websites encourage you to enroll 2FA without clarifying the alternative factors and the consequence of lost access.
"Go to definition" often doesn't work in dynamic languages like Python without type hints; it might not work when the code is dynamically generated.

This game has been mired in some kind of controversy around over focus on social justice, aggressive responses from developers in response to critical reviews, and some other ‘woke’ criticisms. I find it strange that this is not mentioned in articles about this game being shut down. The social justice politics is very much a part of why this game did not attract gamers. I say that as someone who isn’t especially keyed into these political battles normally.
Not sure about your use of "materialist" but there are plenty of examples of things like meditation having real physiological effects. Such as excessive meditation causing enlargement of certain areas of the brain that lead to (sometimes temporary, sometimes permanent) mental illness. There was an article about this on HN a few months ago, I can dig it up if needed.

Point being that it's entirely possible for the perceived sequence of events as described in the anecdote above to be true as experienced by that person, without the need for anything supernatural going on.

I would be curious to know why you think that scientific explanations will get more, not less, supernatural in the next 20 years.

It's very impressive how expressive and flexible the compilers in the BEAMverse are. Elixir extends this rather far, and there are whole utilities such as Surface[1] that are built atop and make heavy use of custom compilers

For more germane blogging and ssg in elixir/beam, I use and recommend the excellent tableau generator[2], by Mitch Hanberg. I use it to power my own personal site[3], and publish the source[4] for anyone who is interested.

Think of a field as a set of scalar field strength values, one value at every point in space. It's not a "thing" you can grab or see. The field strength values are based on the distances to and the magnitudes of the "particles" have have {charge, mass, color, whatever} (with the complexity that the particles themselves are really just standing waves, thus the scare quotes).
It’s like if the mafia ran the shopping mall your store was in and wanted a cut of your sales. Oh wait, that’s how all shopping malls work even if they aren’t run by the mafia.
In regards to Markdown, it is nice but not many publishers are going to work with you if the book is in that format. Odds are you will have to convert it to Microsoft Word so the editors can add recommendations, version control, ask questions, apply templates, etc. I wrote a book in Markdown and converted it to Word after the third revision because editing was so painful.
Neat! At first glance, I was a little worried this was a "make me a hinge, Hestus!" sort of AI integration. This seems very logical! Coming from CAD from the purely hobbyist 3D-printing side of things, I'm pretty familiar with the tedium of some operations, (mostly because I can only assume I do most things wrong) so it makes a lot of sense to automate the scripts that would otherwise be an annoying task of "click part A... click arc... click the pivot point... click part B..."
It certainly made me go “oh, shit this is why shamans have always existed”.

I was so so lucky I was right next to one when it happened to me.
How is it disingenuous? Are you expecting Microsoft to just give the entirety of their cut to Apple? Stacking 30% cuts on top of 30% cuts does quickly make things "impossible"
>one which tips the scales of everything at every level towards a specific outcome

According to the SD, this is nothing more than an artifact of splitting an entagled system into an "observer" and an "observed" parts. The linked video covers this part relatively well, the "randomness" of quantum measurment is nothing more than an artifact of artificial split of the Universe done by humans.
Sounds like functionality you could implement on a blockchain...

OW1 felt to me what Quake3 was when I was 13.

You had a giant mech, could shoot like crazy and just cause total chaos. Different maps, and fun game modes.

Until toxicity hit and the Blizzard blizzard.

Maps were big and with a good team, it was a blast. Nothing else filled my void of Q3, now an dead genre.

Deadlock is okay, but I'm not a MOBA person.
Unfortunately there is not much old growth left. A lot of the forest you see in Idaho, Washington, Oregon is too dense to resemble how the forests used to be. The spread of trees was more sparse historically, with bigger and taller trees (whose canopy prevented other growth underneath). It’s actually a part of why wildfires are a bigger problem now - dense forests means easier spreading of infestations (which create dry fuel) and also easier spreading of fires.
This is a passion and pet peeve of mine. Here are my takeaways:

1) Technical documentation should be coupled with code, so devs will update it as services change (especially in a large or microservice oriented company), and that documentation is pulled into the general purpose system (read: non-tech, mgmt) This also vastly helps with versioning and finding old info (confluence versioning sucks)

2) Diagrams should be diagrams as code, for the same reasons, especially the versioning part. Can you tell me what your infra looked like exactly 3 iterations ago? This helps in problem solving when you've had long-tail undiscovered complications.

3) Make it part of product ownership, KPIs and OKRs. Product managers are the literal worst at this, and will try to push stuff to prod without it otherwise. Coming from the Ops end of things, I can't tell you how infuriating it is to get told "this product is going to prod next week" and when I look there are no ops docs!

4) Management really has to support these efforts, up to hiring someone just to manage documentation. Not just that, but the culture. One thing I've seen repeatedly, especially in high-speed/low-drag places full of PHDs and heavy engineers, is using no docs as a way to judge prod teams. I've made much progress explaining in detail why when an ops engineer is at the tailend of a shift and a sev1 happens, they don't have time or the right mental clarity to go read the code to understand your bullshit!

5) All that said, the biggest division is between the non-tech and tech teams. Do not forget to give non-techs good usability and visiblity into these systems, or management will eventually stop supporting it.

6) Some people will have a passion for documentation, despite being in teams that might not be related to it. Utilize them, and reward them!

Bonus) Include lack of documentation in your after-actions/post-mortems, to keep it relevant to uppers in a concrete way.
What has been successful in my city, Portland, is separating the food and yard waste. The food and yard wastes are composted. Composting produces methane, but there is a trial to capture the methane which is burned as natural gas.

Capturing methane from compost should be easier than whole landfill. It also keeps the organics instead of losing them.
>the times without insurance and pensions children where the ones who cared for you when you get old and so people depended on their kids and it logically makes sense that they would show extreme care for them growing up

This has been the case for most agrarian economies, including the US in the past so I’m not sure that’s a good discriminator.
It's price gouging. When you have a monopoly (your the only source of apps for an iphone and no the existence of android doesnt make apple not a monopoly) and your a hardware company. You've just hit the jackpot and literally charge whatever you want. Fingers crossed ACCC or the euros slap the company with some anti monopoly laws and force the monopoly to be split up. Separate hardware from software. Make hardware software agnostic. Fine the hell out of then for their anticompetitive actions and their just straight up negligent wasteful hardware design.

Does it really need WebGL? You could pre-render things to images (memoize your rendering basically) and update the cached images only when the editing happens. As the interactive editing usually happens only locally, it could probably work well.

The obvious upside is that you don't need then to re-invent the browser's renderer and text editing from scratch, you could re-use it.

For example, this stroke me as an extreme NIH:

> We also can’t use the browser’s built-in text editor, so we made one ourselves

People usually just hate custom non-system text inputs, because it is very hard to reproduce the native look and feel of text selection, editing and stuff, and even if you manage to get close to it, there will always be some "uncanny valley" effect...
> Some get the message that their brain is broken and that they can never trust their thoughts and perceptions.

Which is true.
Do people really get permission though? Like what if you’re in some crowded area - for example taking photos of some landmark? You’re not going to be able to conceivably chase down 10+ people and get their permissions. I imagine most people just record whatever they do and upload it to their social media.
I mean... it's Microsoft's service. Both 30% takes are outrageous.
I thought they were going all-in on doing it as a web app/browser experience?
Yes, which can be a huge limitation if you religiously attach yourself to the null hypothesis for anything science doesn't have an explanation for yet.
Looks cool, and it's a good idea.

I tried a very simple example (imported a nav bar, added a container, put some stuff in the container) and the live version was not responsive at all. Nav bar was a fixed width. The whole page was in the upper left corner of my screen. Did I do something wrong?

Fair. I spent some time trying to figure out how to make it do roughly that before giving up.
Basically: “What’s so innocent about having your eyes open?”

If you are somewhere where you might expect that people could see you, don’t pretend that they are supposed to not see you, or to forget what they saw. Thinking ypeopleshould have that kind of control over other people’s memories, even if stored in their stuff, seems dystopian.
> you have to manually maintain a list of where you've registered them

For an individual, the answer there might be to limit the usage of the device to your "core" services, and rely on good password hygiene for everything else.
This is spot on, but I doubt the engine itself is that hard to build and that the moat is that big.

It's just an html canvas powered by a low level language through WASM, plus a bridge interface. Perfect use case for Rust.

Rest of Figma is, I guess, just React.

But just as you mentioned I believe there's a lot of business potential there, and someone will get it done sooner or later.
I recognize not everyone likes the rain and gloom, but I do find it interesting and kind of amusing how many of us -- myself included -- really love it and thrive in that kind of weather. The 85°F and sunny we had the last few days was really wearing me down.

You should assume that your opponent is adversarial to your specific strategy.
I’m not diagnosing anyone with narcissism per se but women do exhibit narcissistic behaviors. Listen for when they ask you to make them happy. It’s exaggerated during PMS and their period. It takes experience and even then having a backbone and being firm with women is tricky. When women are aggressive they create a hostile environment and play victim. Good or bad it’s all about a feeling of control because friends and family engender learned helplessness in them. If they choose not to take responsibility for their negative behavior then remove yourself from the situation.
Normalization causes a very specific harm: it prevents ameliorative action. Speaking in terms of a "cure" causes the same harm: it prevents the continuation of help.

If we're not allowed to use words like "broken" (which I do not concede in general), surely at least we can get people to admit something like "I have a condition that makes my life difficult, and I must take some sort of steps to compensate"?
The opposite question, which this article does not consider, seems rather more interesting: why do some people want to have children?
> Basically: “What’s so innocent about having your eyes open?”

This is in no way equivalent to video recording.
What would you deem fair compensation? If I come home to find my car was stolen by the police, and I had plans, the compensation for that isn’t so straight forward.

What if someone misses work and is fired? They had to leave for a trip and missed their flight? Missed a wedding? We’re a surgeon and the delay getting to the hospital led to a death? Had to pick up kids, and had no way to get them? Medication they need was in the car and without it they get extremely ill or die?

If the owner actually committed the crime, I wouldn’t have much sympathy. However, when the driver’s only crime is owning a car with camera and parking it somewhere, that’s not good.
"Security" software that trusts /proc/cmdline (and the like), and in particular if it doesn't complain about /proc/cmdline having a mismatch with /proc/exe, doesn't seem like very useful security software to me. Particularly if it's security software that is making some security decisions based on argv[0].

Seems like this security software is broken, not argv[0]

> The natural conclusion of your line of thought is that the police should be able to enforce against things they personally think are "bad", rather than just enforcing the law.

Got some bad news for you about the average cop's knowledge of an understanding of the laws they enforce.
> People can change the behaviour for brief periods.

This is a false assumption. Especially generalizing the behavior in such an adversarial setup as a job interview to a regular day to day work/life.

> Telling people how I would want a good candidate to behave during an interview

You should tell them the rules of the game. The thing is, with interviews, there are already predefined assumptions, such as not knowing something takes a point from you, so people avoid this. In your case, you are altering these assumptions without disclosing it. So people might already had changed their behavior for the interview specifically - avoiding admitting not knowing something.
Actually blaming it on the "politics" is also being dishonest. The game had 700 concurrent players on launch and then kept dropping all the way down to 60. Unless all but 700 of the gamers are caught up in taking ideological stances, there is no other explanation except that it was a mediocre game with unmemorable gameplay and characters that launched 8 years too late in a saturated genre with nothing new to offer.
Voluntary or not, behaviors aren't experiences, they're things people do. Lying down in the supermarket is a behavior, but hearing voices isn't.
I have no direct experience of it, but I imagine it as this: truth or persuasiveness is a feeling just like sound. If your brain can hallucinate a sound where there is none, it can also hallucinate a sense of truth where there is none.
Will publishers not accept Latex?
> Microsoft's chief complaint is that the App Store rules require subscriptions and features to be made available on iOS devices with in-app purchase, which is "not feasible."

This is nonsense. There's no flat IAP requirement.

How do Microsoft have Microsoft Office apps? How are Adobe apps there? Or Amazon Kindle?

If you aren't selling from within the app, Apple allows you to sell things elsewhere and log into it from apps.

(This does impose an actual problem: they'd have to turn off their store from Xbox dashboard, and IAP from games, if inside that iOS app, or concede another 30%. BUT, they already have this code, given parental controls. Just flip the "no purchases on this device" flag, done.)

Further, if you want the "app", why? Playing Xbox using iOS works beautifully on iPhones and iPads today, just go to https://www.xbox.com/play and save that to your home screen. Supports controllers, and silky smooth. When I play games on an iPad 13" people freak out: "How does that work?" It has for years...

This obsession with "apps" is a bit silly.
Thanks for sharing. We get new roles every week tho! Hiring part-time engineers is growing very quickly in popularity.
Open up that same drawing program on a display with a different color balance. Max out green and blue. What color is that?

Indeed, or we could swap taste buds.
Unconstitutional warrants are issued all the time. The only way to contest them is to fight the very legal system that granted them in the first place. Unless you're 1) rich or 2) find a very sympathetic lawyer good luck.
