I've been a happy user of Thunderbird since it existed. I can easily move all my emails off both my own self hosted email servers and commercial servers and know that I have multiple redundant backups and snapshots of my email folders. I use this to keep all that information off the mail servers so that when they get popped legally or otherwise I am not as exposed. Thunderbird also makes it very easy to PGP encrypt emails. PGP is not perfect but I am happy with "good enough". I've taught a couple law firms how to PGP encrypt emails so they have a fallback when their "Secure web portal" gets popped or has an outage. Many financial institutions are already very familiar with PGP albeit waving fists in the air in frustration with odd old weird libraries.

It may also be worth mentioning that Thunderbird supports addons similar to Firefox, including uBlock [1]. There is also Thunderbird for cell phones never tried it but purportedly also supports PGP.

> And yet so many people do exactly what the manifesto tells them not do to. Why? Just why?

The manager on the top says "do Agile" because his friends say that this is now the cool thing. The managers on the bottom have no idea what it means, so they do some random thing and call it "Agile", and report job done. The manager on the top is happy and gives them a small bonus.

And as managers circulate across companies, they keep introducing the "random thing we did at my previous job and called it Agile" as the one true Agile, so the whole randomness converges to one specific version (with Jira and long meetings and other stuff).
This is the kind of content I keep coming to HN to find. I wish I could upvote it 100x. Thanks for the education.
They have implied that annexing Taiwan is a key priority and that they are willing to use force if it turns out to be necessary.

"Provoke" means doing something with the intention to trigger an emotional or other reaction. That's not what Taiwan is doing.
I really believe it is not the case. It would go a long way but it is not enough. The ethnicity is also important.
Funny that the technical reality is the inverse, i.e. media is read-only and storage/playback is now trivial beyond availability, software is executable and requires a degree of active maintenance.

When I see a card magic trick, for all intents and purposes it "appears" magic. Once I learn _one_ card trick, I start to realize it's not magic. Regardless if I can prove anything or not.

This same applies here with ghosts. People needed to know they _could_ be fooled, how it was done doesn't matter, because people were being scammed and were afraid of things that weren't ghosts.

Proving something is a ghost has never been done, so ghost scams is a good thing to educate people on.
I think the confusion is mostly my fault, I should have just said this:

I don't think either political party has shown themselves to be against outsourcing.

So I don't really understand what political conclusion I'm supposed to draw from an anecdote about replacing someone with cheap outsourced labor.
You're trying your darnedest to not understand what I'm saying. Maybe you learned that in academia?

You can instantly distribute any academic books and papers online and you can live broadcast lectures, even have two way communication between lecturer and student in text, voice or video, no matter where they are on the globe.

So the idea is outdated that you should have to invest this amount of money or these many years of your youth and be in a specific place for a degree. It has been mostly an excuse for the rich to hire the children of other rich people for well paying jobs. "Oh, you don't have a degree. Sorry, we can't consider you". Now that everybody is getting degrees, that excuse doesn't work anymore.
Lorelei and the Laser eyes was one of my favorite games that I played this past year. I think it might be good for a non-gamer, but they had better absolutely love puzzles. Also some of the puzzles require playing videogames within the main game and I can't remember exactly, but they may not make much sense or be very fun if you don't have experience with like PS1 era horror games.

For The Witness, I would recommend tagging it as appropriately not accessible. There is a section that can't be completed at all without hearing, and large chunks of the game that I can't imagine are possible with color blindness. I don't have either of these issues, but running into those things really rubbed me the wrong way. It is a game that seems to value the creators vision above all else and isn't willing to make any sacrifices for the audience.

Edit: I realize I misread and thought you were saying you were going to add The Witness to the non-gamer list, which was why I was saying that a disclaimer would be extra useful. Left it anyway.

Something that always struck me about this sort of thing, or in similar games, is that it is only 2D and so rapidly becomes incredibly crowded with lines going everywhere.

F# is a far better option from a practical standpoint when compared to alternatives. By simple virtue of using .NET and having access to very wide selection of libraries that make it a non-issue when deciding to solve a particular business case. It also has an alternate compiler Fable which can target JS allowing the use of F# in front-end.

Other options have worse support and weaker tooling, and often not even more open development process (e.g. you can see and contribute to ongoing F# work on Github).

This tired opinion ".net bad because microsoft bad" has zero practical relevance to actually using C# itself and even more so F# and it honestly needs to die out because it borders on mental illness. You can hate microsoft products, I do so too, and still judge a particular piece of techology and the people that work on it on their merits.
It was not deliberate, it was ignorance. Time and again, the Go team made comments in various forums for years showing they really knew nothing about programming language development past 2000.

All they knew was C and that they wanted to create a language that compiles faster than C++. That's all.
> Judaism like Protestantism

Judaism is nothing like protestantism or even catholicism. If it were, we wouldn't have protestantism or catholicism. Judaism ( by that I mean real judaism ) is racial/ethnic and centered around bloodlines while protestantism is universal.

> promotes education and reading for all.

No. Judaism promotes the study of torah/tanakh and even that is only within their own people. Judaism most certainly does not promote education in the general sense and not to the general public. That modern jews in the west pursue education is not due to judaism but to european culture.

> Plus Judaism promotes some form of debate.

In a superficial manner. Like how protestants and catholics debate. Certainly not in the socratic way of the greeks.

Judaism didn't go around the world spreading literacy like Catholicism and especially Protestantism did. After all the jewish god is only for the jews while the christian god is for all humanity.

I can't speak for all South Asian Americans, but in my experience caste is not a significant player in our community in the US at least.

Alternatives like University Affiliation, Regional ties, Ethnic ties, Clan ties, and Workplace affiliation play a greater role due to the nature of South Asian immigration in the US (tends to be white collar professionals across all ethnic groups).

Treating South Asian Americans homogeneously will lead to the same mistakes like treating all Latinos homogeneously - plenty of South Asian heavy battleground counties like Loudoun County, Middlesex County, Williamson County, Kern County, San Joaquin County, etc have seen Ds margins drop significantly in the current election.

That said, we are a clannish bunch, and biradari (and every other South Asian language's equivalent of that word) is our guanxi.
Netflix is more akin to renting, though.
"Transparency" is a fairly annoying term for this in image/video because of the obvious polysemy.
> My worst experiences universally have always been python projects.

Do you mind sharing why do you think this happens ?
Although I never worked professionally with python, this sentiment matches with my experiences as a user. So I don't have a lot of context why this is the case.

Some siblings in this thread provided some explanations that mostly boils down to 'bad tooling' in one form or another. But this doesn't feel right.

In my opinion if it was just bad tooling this problem would be solved by now.
Much of coffee's flavour comes from a balance of acids and oils. These, particularly the oils, are sensitive to temperature. But unless you're drinking your coffee all day, you're unlikely to notice it. Real spoiling sets in after several hours at the kinds of heat you're probably running your Ember mug at. Most drip brewers with heating elements for the pot keep the temperature too high (often just below boiling). A steady heat is much better for the flavour than reheating. (This is what I remember from working at a coffee shop way, WAY back when I was at university.)
Thanks for the input. I'm hoping a simple tutorial will help with finding the playback direction buttons. I'm not sure what to do about the fat-fingering problem. Maybe the controls could be bigger.
Interesting, but sounds like much more than a lifetime achievement. As far as I understand, it is written in Rust; this raises the question of whether there are significant differences to Redox OS, which seems to share most of the goals. But sel4 on the other hand is written in C; are you going to migrate sel4 to Rust?
Yah this is going to have the opposite effect, as it will only encourage China to develop their own EUV stepper and fab development. It might take 10 years to catch up, but 10 years isn't a long time in the grand scheme of things.

Actually it might take them less than 10 years to catch up. I was at ICCAD (https://iccad.com) last week and half the papers were from China. And some of the EDA CAD software is under export controls - specifically Gate-all-around technology used in 2nm and below. Right now the big EDA vendors have developers in China who are making the software they're not allowed to sell in THEIR OWN COUNTRY.

China is basically where Japan was in the 1970s and Korea in the 1980s. Only 10 years before they become dominant in the industry.
Whatever your opinion about online piracy, it plays an indispensable role in maintaining access to media that corporations choose to abandon. But I wonder in the case of this kind of novel media if pirated copies can maintain the original experience.

The fundamental problem with interactive shows is that Netflix has to produce 10 hours of very expensive content to give you a high quality 1 hour walkthrough. It then only becomes worth it if you keep going back and trying all the different branches, but that's not really going to happen. Might as well make en entire season of a regular show with the same budget.

> Why can't one just peacefully integrate the best they can and accept their differences?

Their complaint is that they want to integrate entirely and can not. They do not want to be different, they want to be the same. They want their kids to be treated the same. And the claim is, regardless of how well you integrate, how well you speak you will not be fully integrated.
Let us simplify our IT layers and stacks before it is too late.

It's time to introspect and ask those critical questions: Is it really necessary to install each one of these apps, every single one of these libraries and frameworks? How can I remove dependencies from these libs and do a little core work myself? And tell the same thing to your partners, colleagues, coworkers, etc. If you find 4-5 apps doing basically the same thing (like communication or productivity tool), see if you can consolidate them into one.

There are a million little decisions that affect compile time. A big factor here is inlining. When you inline functions, you may improve the generated code or you may make it worse. It’s hard to predict the result because the improvements may come about because of various other code transformation passes which you perform after inlining. After inlining, the compiler detects that certain code paths are impossible, certain calls can be devirtualized, etc., and this can enable more inlining.

Rust is designed with the philosophy of zero-cost abstractions. (I don’t like the name, because the cost is never zero, but it is what it is.) The abstractions usually involve a lot of function calls and you need a compiler with aggressive inlining in order to get reasonable performance out of Rust. Usage of generics still results in the same non-virtual calls which can be inlined. But the compiler then has to do a lot of work to evaluate inlining for every instantiation of every generic.

Go is designed with the philosophy of simple abstractions, which may come with a cost. Generics are implemented in a way that means you are still doing a lot of dynamic dispatch. If you need speed in Go, you should be writing the monomorphic code yourself. Generics don’t get instantiated for every single type you use them with. They only get instantiated for every “shape” of type.
Yeah, spoiler vote brings to 2 parties (like the US). Although the current electoral college doesn't work well, I'm not sure the Americans would prefer to remove it completely and rather use directly popular vote because in the rural areas they don't want to be "governed" by the decisions of big cities.

What do you think about keeping the electoral college and use IRV instead?
Wait.

What?

Serious interest here. Can anyone else verify that the Chinese don't have the ability to develop and manufacture these chips?

That's stunning. I had no idea that was the case.

Or is this just a, "they don't manufacture computer chips" kind of thing. Which, strategically speaking, is critically different than, "they don't know how".
I bought the og battle star series on DVD for $90 in the early 00's. My parents bought most of the MASH seasons and they were a bit cheaper but they were still over $50 per season.

I feel the opposite - so many people prefer KDE, what the hell am I missing?

KDE used to look ugly comparing to Gnome. Now it's fine but still worse.

KDE offers plenty of shiny things that I don't like and need - graphical effects, application menu, widgets.

Most of the time I have a terminal and browser full screen and all I need is cmd key that triggers search and allows me to enter the name of the application I want to run and hit enter. Gnome is much cleaner, simpler and logical to use.

> factors that can be fixed

In the US? Not a chance. The political momentum in the US overwhelmingly does not want to fix this to the degree where cars and bikes wouldn't cross paths. Nor have I seen any proposals to do so. Even the most progressive bike infrastructure in the US still often intersects with vehicle traffic at grade.

There's only one place in the US where you can reasonably ride a bicycle for transportation and (usually) not share the road with cars, and it's a tiny island with population ~500 that banned cars in the late 19th century. And even there, emergency vehicles, like the one in the OP, still share the road with bikes.

Having children in modern society is pretty isolating. We had it very good because our neighbors have children of similar age and we could share the burdens of cooking and watching them while simultaneously also seeing other adults. If both parents work and you do all your chores you have approximately zero time to socialize outside your immediate vicinity. It takes a village but nobody has a village any longer

Dedicated bike lanes almost always share the same risks as the incident in the OP: the intersections are still shared. And sometimes driver behavior is even worse when dedicated bike lanes exist at intersections, because drivers turning right forget they are sharing the intersection with bikes proceeding straight-through from a lane on their right.
it's not really hard to separate between 'vague notes that can just hang' and 'files that should be just saved to avoid ambiguity'. for me, autosave works better for 'text that isn't in a file and is yet to be put together and saved into a file'. it's fine for quick notetaking that isn't pressing enough to plug into an IDE or to even launch it for just that.

The PS2 was a state of the art machine with similar hardware of a SGI workstation. Those computers started at 20k. While the PS5 has similar hardware as a low end PC.

If the PS5 had a Nvidia A100 the comparasion would make sense and people would be buying them to create clusters, like they did with the PS2 and 3.

> Current attempt to open source is a desperate move by QNX as their market share is disappearing

Are you sure they want to open source it? Is this just an assumption, or can you provide a reference?

I actually tried to find out whether the source code of the kernel etc. is included in the free version they provide, but they require to install a license manager on my machine, so I stopped; and it doesn't look as if it was open-source when there is a license manager (would be very easy to get around).
Another approach that is in the works is the so-called States Compact whereby each state would assign all its electors to the candidate that gets the most votes nationwide. This has the advantage that no change to the Constitution is needed. Currently, several States have agreed to this, and the Compact will be activated once enough States sign on that provide more than the 270 electoral votes required to win the election.

A military fight wouldn't serve China's interests. Pouring money into their domestic fabs and using the same market-flooding and subsidies that they're known for in other fields to take customers from TSMC would be a smarter move. They probably wouldn't be taking over the high-end CPU/GPU marketshare anytime soon, but could put significant pressure in other areas while developing capability.
What people "think" affects how they act behind your back. Whether they tell you all the information you need or the bare minimum. Whether you get to be picked up for a project or not in situation where there are multiple competing people. Whether you get invited and can become member of an in-group.

Basically, what people euphemism away here is "you get to be slightly discriminated against". In the USA situation, we would say "they are racist against you while keeping it politically correct wherever provable". It has measurable impact.
