> Are you sure your family member isn’t embezzling $350/month from you?

My credit card is on file with their pharmacy and I have durable power of attorney, full access to their electronic medical records, and am authorized to speak with the care providers. This is unlikely.
I wonder how long it will be before the enviro types will be angered by those yuge fields of solar cells like the one in the cover image of the story. Coal mines and oil fields don't look great, but the solar fields are starting to look pretty industrial too. Maybe not as sooty or as smelly, but they're only possible when we clear cut the trees and steal all of the sunlight from the plants that feed the animals.

The article was clearly written by some fanboi. I suppose when oil was first discovered, there were fanbois for oil too. But maybe it would be better if the fanbois started to get ahead of the criticism.

I agree with your comment and would love to read more if you've blogged more about this somewhere?
> people point to open-source interactions as especially "toxic" while ignoring (or being ignorant of) the fact that things are often _far worse_ behind closed doors

Can we admit that those close doors are super toxic places then? The claim is not supposed to be that open source is the most toxic place ever, just that it is toxic. That there are close source companies that are cesspits is a fact too - but that is an independent claim.

There are also many close source workplaces where things are NOT toxic or are less toxic.
In fact you can say that about most regulations of any sort, this seems to hit people's brains in the same way as how anti-vaxxers are so cavalier about things like Measles because we effectively eradicated it via vaccination (except it's now making a comeback thanks to anti-vaxxers) and people have forgotten how horrible it is, in the same way people forget, sure, houses used to be cheaper to build. And they also burned down a hell of a lot more, or were constructed poorly and not to code, or were built too close together, etc. etc. etc.

Just about every regulation that exists for every product or thing or way of doing something was written not even after a death, that's usually not enough, it needs to be a substantial number of deaths that can be directly linked to the thing the regulation covers and only then does it become law.
My posit is that in 20 years, rust is as dead as scala and c is only used in legacy systems that cannot be viably updated economically.
I loved Adioso! I used it all the time to find great deals in Europe. Thank you for building it!
Yup, I just bought 60 kWh of LFP batteries. Total with shipping was $3100.
That's rather meaningless number intending maybe to shock some folks who don't understand math/physics etc for many reasons, just randomly: atmosphere takes a bit out; we will never be 100% effective (but 50% is not unreasonable); we can't cover even 1% of earth surface with solar panels even when ignoring most are oceans, that would be absolutely massive use producing staggering waste and due to curvature of Earth only a fraction of them would be useful at a given time.

So what you are basically saying we have to support solar with other sources, always, by principle. Still good supplementary stuff unless you are too north/south from cca equator, there it will never be a major thing.
It's pretty surprising looking at this list that all these sites are paying $2000+ for a bimi cert.
I think you're right. The DNA does control the shell shape, but the way DNA works is always thru chain reactions (secondary effects) rather than something akin to a blueprint of any kind. So if you took out the DNA and put it in the "wrong half-shell" (using your concept), I bet it would be unable to complete the other half shell that looked symmetrical, and I bet it would die, because without the symmetry it cannot "complete" the shell, and the outside environment would therefore seep in, corrupting the cell internals, and it would die from that contamination.
The issue is that underfunding the NHS has become so bad that even very serious cases can't be handled appropriately. I know it's an anecdote, but I've had a fairly bad experience recently after a serious bike incident in the middle of a workday, and they took over an hour to send an ambulance, about an hour to be checked, and over 7 hours in the Royal Hospital waiting for treatment.

Legitimately was a worse and slower service than I would have had at my grandparents' place in Eastern Europe, it's a disgrace. It still makes me angry that it's the experience I get after paying 1000s of £ in NHS contributions.
> This was struck down in Ashcroft v Free Speech Coalition

No, it wasn't.

> A new bill, the PROTECT Act, came about.

This is a section added by the PROTECT Act. (The link includes reference to the law by which the section was added to the US code; one of the great things about LII is that it has added/amended information, not just the text.) It has nearly identical coverage to what was struck down, except that where what was struck down was struck down on the basis of not being limited strictly to obscene material, this added obscenity (by name in one place, and using the exact language of the Supreme Court standard for obscenity in another) to the former rule.

> But it only bans CP artwork that is "virtually indistinguishable" from real photos.

You are invited to read the text, this is simply false. (The PROTECT Act also added the “virtual identical” limitation you describe to the definitions applicable to the original offense, as well as adding this new one with the obscenity limitation, as a belt-and-suspenders approach — basically, the Supreme Court said that they could prohibit things that either meet the case law standard for obscenity or which has a sufficient nexus to actual come abuse, so the PROTECT Act took the original single prohibition and replaced it with two, one which was limited to be targeted on obscenity (18 USC §1446A) and one which was narrowed to what they felt might pass muster as sufficiently related to actual child abuse (the original prohibition with definitions at 18 USC § 2556, amended with the “virtually indistinguishable” restriction. The latter is the Constitutionally weaker of the two; that obscenity is not protected is well-established.)

There is, at least for anything worth compressing. It’s called the halting sequence. And while it exists, it’s also uncomputable unfortunately haha.
Yah I'm sure the African pycon was planning to ask every attendee if they are LGBT...

You do know this kind of thing has zero to do with Python? Nobody is having sex at pycon? They can just do what everyone else does, and not make that the most important thing in the world while at the stupid convention.

Like personally I think logging should end, so can I just make this position a requirement that everyone else has to agree with to attend Pycon? It makes no sense, as it isn't related to the topic of the convention. I think that is why it gets labeled as an ideology.

An important aspect is that the US is that its economies and regional cultures are diverse and dispersed. The US is simply too decentralized to stagnate effectively. It is not a monoculture in any practical sense which creates a system that can respond quickly to evolutionary pressure. Everything good and bad you hear about the US usually only applies to a subset of the country and often only a handful of cities.

There is a high degree of regional specialization in the US as a consequence. No matter what happens in the world, some part of the US is perfectly positioned to take advantage of that. Combine this with general American risk tolerance and business acumen, and you have a country that is unusually organically adaptive to changing global economies.
'Leave on time'

OK. I have a 1.5 hour drive. I leave on time. I run across a driver doing 10mph under the speed limit. I'm late.

OK, I leave 10m early. I run across an accident. I'm late.

OK, I leave 15m early. I run across a surprise document check and the officer is extra chatty. Combined with the traffic choke point I'm late.

OK I leave 30m early for everywhere I go. I'm still late or early and never on time because I can't moderate my speed because someone thinks its 'risky'.

Finally, the pollutes more argument doesn't hold up. Just because you have an 'eco' car doesn't mean its economical at traffic speeds. The safest way to drive is maintain the flow of traffic and be predictable (i.e. not slow and no unsafe hyper-mileing maneuvers), and suddenly cars that aren't underpowered microboxes are using less gas anytime you aren't doing 30mph in a city at constant speeds.
Africa's made up of a lot of countries and some of them have kept homosexuality legal, so the plan was presumably to move the conference somewhere else.

> Don't click on links in email.

Not saying you're wrong per se, but isn't it more so summarized with "don't fall for a 'CAPTCHA' that requires you to paste code into the window labeled 'This will run with administrative privileges'?"

This is more so a grumble than a serious comment on security, but agh, it's always bugged me that the metric for failing phishing tests is "clicked on any link in the email" and not, you know, entered credentials into the phish site, or downloaded and opened a file. Like, I get it, it's much easier to teach nontechnical users to simply not click bad links than that other stuff - and browser vulns do exist - but it still vaguely annoys me.

I feel like I've seen countless posts like this one that end in the user entering creds, giving the browser some weird permission, downloading some file (sometimes straight-up an executable), or in this case, running a command. I don't know if I've seen a single one that ends in "and then they clicked the link and it popped a browser 0-day and that was the end of that".

Web browsers are a wide attack surface, yes, but they're also... intended for browsing the Internet. Most people click through links pretty haphazardly as they're doing work or researching a topic. Defense in depth and all, but I feel like a security policy that holds "don't visit any evil websites ever" as a core tenet is pretty flawed.

You can get by, e.g. you can use JSDoc comments describing format or pattern, generic types taking a parameter of either format or pattern along with a base type, or create a custom well-known type you define as having the properties of a UUID. But aside from comments, this is not reflected well in the tooling, and none of these options compose particularly well.

I've been using WAF for ages so naturally I wonder how this system compares to WAF? My experience with build systems is that they all get the easy parts rights. You can compile C and C++ code and they successfully scan header files for dependencies. But FEW get the hard parts rights. E.g., compiling LaTeX with multiple figures, custom fonts and classes, and multiple bib files. It requires correctly interfacing with pdfatex which is a complete PITA as it spews intermediate files everywhere and puts constraints on the current directory. Most build tools can't.

What I want in a build tool is universality. Sometimes a whole directory tree is the dependency of a target. Sometimes it's an url and the build tool should correctly download and cache that url. Sometimes the pre-requisite is training an ML model.

I ham a ham radio license and should probably know this stuff, but I don’t play near the edges where I’d ever need to worry about the details. It seems nuts to me that it’s illegal, anywhere, to notice what radiation (technical sense) is around me. “Hey, watch out, in Kentucky it’s illegal to see orange” is about as logical as anti-detector laws. You’re pointing an emitter at me and I’m not even allowed to know? That’s crazy.
Now that you mention it, polluting the history is another huge factor. Whether from HN or not, I am pretty hesitant to watch random/unknown YouTube videos because that happens.
This is motte and bailey. Currently you go into your motte and talk about human rights and racism (apparently queer is a race), and people get removed from projects (or jobs) because they didn't get the pronoun of the unicorn right. Oh, and the hundreds of workshops that explain you how to check your privilege. It has usually not much to do with human rights in the western world.

The case with the convention is slightly different, but again one has to ask why they actually defunded it. Because the country they live in is bad? They were not asked to fund Tanzania.

PS.:

> might not care about racism against people of color because you're white

You may of course assume whatever you want, but why do you get so specific instead of just mentioning racism. That does indeed sound racist to me.
Note that NumPy, CuPy and PyTorch are all involved in the definition of a shared subset of their API:

https://data-apis.org/array-api/

So it's possible to write array API code that consumes arrays from any of those libraries and delegate computation to them without having to explicitly import any of them in your source code.

The only limitation for now is that PyTorch (and to some lower extent cupy as well) array API compliance is still incomplete and in practice one needs to go through this compatibility layer (hopefully temporarily):

Eagerly awaiting AsyncAPI Support: https://github.com/microsoft/typespec/issues/2463

AsyncAPI support would make TypeSpec the end-all/be-all API spec tool for a lot of people.

TypeSpec looks amazing - but until we can go "all in" on using it for both our external and internal API, it's difficult for the team to justify yet another new DSL. It's needs to support all of our common API definition woes, and currently it only addresses 50%.

Is "between 10 and 50GHz" not a description of a range of widths of a band?

Are bands of that width not typically delivered with mm waves?

(There's more definitions of the word "bandwidth" than counting bits per second. It has, at least, uses in both RF and in data networking -- and the former use is predates the latter.)

The laser shifters are plainly visible on the grill near the intercooler/radiator, while the radar receiver is behind a solid part of the bumper cover. Radar works great despite the low elevation compared to a high windshield mount. Laser shifters died years ago (bulging like bad capacitors, white crust seeping out). I only have front mounted stuff, although the main controller does have unused ports to add rear stuff, so yes you could say my particular setup is non-360.

I don't really mind losing the laser shifters. Jam detection is a ubiquitous feature of police units as I understand it, and I'd rather not poke that bear even if it's totally legal. The technique, though, is to cancel the jamming after just a few seconds during which you reduce your speed, such that ultimately you allow a good reading to overcome any suspicion of jamming. Some people like to automate the delayed cancellation, while others prefer to manually cancel. Interesting, but not for me.

> a source that explains both rationale and variations

This is the key right here. Not all recipes are created equal. The terse ones are for people who already know what they're doing and just need a sketch to jog their memory. If that's not you, you need a thorough guide. But a guide that explains the why, beyond the how, is far more valuable.

If you can't find such a resource, a good backup option is to search around for a variety of recipes for the same dish. By comparing them, you get an idea of what's critical, what's optional, what is safe to fudge, what you have to get right, etc.

Knowing the why and what your end goal is also helps you adapt your methods to the tools you have on hand. Your stove and pots don't heat the same way your recipe author's stove and pots do. Your fruits aren't the same ripeness. "Cook on medium-high for 3 minutes" is not a very helpful instruction, because its precision is illusory.

I think that a reasonable definition of counterculture is moving against the dominant culture, rather than just doing something uncommon. And if this is it, it absolutely can't be defined as counterculture.

Look at a country as religious as the US - even if it's seemingly getting barely less religious than before, the dominant culture is absolutely run by religion. A political candidate, let alone a presidential candidate who's openly non-religious would almost always be seen as an abhorrent non-starter. Public servants swear on Bibles and school children recite a mantra to prove their belief in a "nation under God". Basically the entire ideological landscape is run by religion, from the issues that people talk about to the stances they take on them. You don't even have to be religious to be influenced by all this. It doesn't really matter if a believer is committed enough to go to a church, all of them are contributing at least a little bit.

And then, just as my own unrelated opinion... the thing we associate with counterculture was always a radical disregard for arbitrary standards, an ability to pinpoint and reject the things in the world that are unjustly enforced by society. In that way, doing anything religious can never be counterculture - how can you envision a rebel with a capacity to question everything wholeheartedly believing a system of preconceived dogma?
