Standard indeed, in that it's so predictable and unthinking. IMO.

So he misjudged something, 26 years ago. How about you, what stupid thing did you say 26 years ago can be taken by Internet trolls, those well known experts at everything, to judge everything you've said and done to be a giant pile of horseshit?
Society, not governments, has more-or-less agreed for at least a few thousand years that there is a difference between these two acts. You're free to feel differently but as another commenter pointed out, there's not much of a discussion to be had on the ethics of killing in war if you think any two instances of one human killing another human are identical from a moral or ethical standpoint. Throughout all of human history, most people has believed there is a difference.
Thats completely fair, and my approach does not work for most people as its quite extreme.

I still use WhatsApp to connect with people overseas, so thats replaced Messenger etc for me.

It is tough being a remote worker, and I totally get the difficulty with maintaining a professional network.

All good reasons there.

How I deal with professional networking is, I use email mostly, and I tend to stay in touch with people I genuinely find interesting and connect with. One of my best friends is an older gentleman who I met at a previous job, we always catch up for meals, coffees etc. He's one of my best network references. But other than that, my professional network is small, and I do have to put in extra work to maintain it.

Thanks for the thumbs up on the goals! I really only became this way this year (ADHD diagnosis + medication) and I'm really getting in to my learning now.

You completely skipped over the first part: "Two pointers compare equal if and only if both are null pointers"
I agree, this seems like it's veering from "angry rich person wants thing" into "petulant child throws a fit when they don't get thing."

At least Wordpress is open source - if it disappears, something can take its place.

Mesh networks are a neat idea, but the reality of is often disappointing e.g. given compatible radios all the IoT devices in a room could form a mesh network of equal peers, but if a few lightbulbs use their position (mains powered, good location) to form a hierarchical network it will actually work (without wasting battery power and air time).

Nvidia is making big bucks "selling shovels in a gold rush". Google has made their own shovel factory and they can avoid paying Nvidia's margins.
Bravo. I haven’t listened to that record for ages. Thank you!
Worse how?
The performance complaints seem to be mostly about buffer management. Rust hashers may flush their internal buffers whenever they want, as long as it's deterministic:

> Thus to produce the same hash value, Hash implementations must ensure for equivalent items that exactly the same sequence of calls is made – the same methods with the same parameters in the same order.

at some point some researchers were begging for GPUs... mainly for sparse work. I think that's why sparsecore was added to TPU (https://cloud.google.com/tpu/docs/system-architecture-tpu-vm...) in v4. I think at this point with their tech turnaround time they can catch up as competitors add new features and researchers want to use them.
For a while at least Apple was the most valuable company in the world, mostly on the back of caring a lot about UI/UX. Under the hood it’s just BSD and a bunch of services and libraries.

Refusing to do business with someone is one thing. Using your power over a competitor to shove them out of the marketplace and, in effect, giving them reverse special treatment in order to punish them and only them, that's not the same.

In theory Retool would be this, but it's clunky for the interface designer - namely, it assumes you might have different custom read and write paths, so it makes you jump through hoops in setting up a Cell Change Handler linked to a Query that writes to the database. See: https://community.retool.com/t/auto-save-table/16044

Airtable's interface builder is more reasonable in that it ensures that you're always looking at real-time data, and saves happen and propagate to all users whenever you change a character - but this requires that the canonical data live in Airtable. And setting up sync with external systems is clunky. I'm hopeful that people build better tools on top of Electric, because it's ridiculous that we live in 2024 and we don't have interfaces like this out of the box.
Sorry, I feel dumb for asking, but what does “voice service providers” mean here? Like, Verizon and TMobile etc etc? Can’t be because there aren’t 2,411 cell companies.
Same but with Alembic! I'm wondering how hard would it be to open pgroll up for third party migration systems.
the article argues that the outflow that occurred in 2020 and 2021 has rebounded, that's not really true. while 2024 is the first year that california's population increased, it still decreased as share of US population. if you look at california's share of the US population, that has been decreasing since 2015.
>For the special case of dollars, it makes sense that there's no "capital gain" to tax: since the "capital gain" is measured in dollars, the gain or loss on your dollars is always zero.

Unless you sell your very rare, misprinted 100 dollar bill for $100k? You definitely owe tax on that payment but I have no clue which part of tax law that falls under, and I'm pretty sure I don't understand what a "capital gain" is.
> 2k4 VSPs

As an English speaker, I'd interpret 2k4 as 2004, not 2400.

In Chinese that structure would mean 2400, though I don't know how widely understood the K would be.

Where are you from?
Reddit is the trickiest beast of them all. Not necessarily "social" media, but I have also blocked Reddit. I've had many accounts over the years, and it used to be a great site. But its become heavily moderated, politicised, toxic, advertising heavy. I really question if even half of the posts are genuine people posting (probably not).

I have a url blacklisting extension and I block reddit entirely, it wont even come up in google searches etc.

I think Reddit is one of the hardest to break from though. I've been completely off it for just over a month. I replaced it with HackerNews
Can you get that down to low latency? Say less than 1ms for the hops?
and I'm sure novelists are upset about our brevity
This has been a constant thought for me as well. Like, the plan from what I can tell is that we are going to start to spinning all this stuff up every single time someone searches something on google, or perhaps, when someone would otherwise search something on there.

Just that alone feels like an absolutely massive load to bear! But its only a drop in the bucket compared to everything else around this stuff.

But while I may be thirsty and hungry in the future, at least I will (maybe) be able to know how many rs are in "strawberry".
Where can I find out more about him turning down piles of industry hush money? All I can see on wikipedia is he was beefing with some makers of atrazine.
Bold voice is an app for improving your accent. This makes a case for a legitimate publicity stunt.
Last time I checked (which might well be 10 years ago or so), I think there was some sort of agreement between the OpenTTD devs and Chris Sawyer that he wouldn't sue them for OpenTTD if they won't ever touch Locomotion (I think there was an early-stage POC of Locomotion that some of the devs did that triggered this)

Has the situation changed? Or are they just bold enough to do it anyway because they think that Chris won't ever sue them anyway (or they would have an easy time of getting that case dismissed)?
Every now and then, I get an itch from the old days of desktop publishing. A while back there was release of a "lost" Bram Stoker short that got transcribed to text (several players using different methods posting their results on github). I fired up InDesign which I had never used, and did a book layout of it. All because I was bored and wanted to think about something other than ; {} [] for a bit. At least I didn't have to fire up the Quadra to run Quark!
That, or rewatching a pre-watched film for comfort. Not every movie needs to be new.

I rewatched Firefly on the whim the other week and now Malcom In The Middle because I own them on DVD.

> but should have said wealth inequality to avoid any technicalities.

But that would be an entirely different discussion, and one not particularly interesting as the wealth inequality impact is much more clear. Regardless of how we landed here, we did, and I think it is an interesting topic that is worth diving into. You must agree, given your continued participation?
> "AI cited Bible passages in efforts to convince J.F. that Christians are sexist and hypocritical". It was more about his parents being hypocritical, not all Christians. And the bible passages were on point

And the verses he found objectionable are really there. Are they also suing the Gideons for not ripping those pages out of their hotel room Bibles (or maybe they think you should have to prove you're over 18 before reading it)?
I think Reddit is just as bad tbh, but I still like HackerNews as its so plain and boring, I hardly use it (at most 20 minutes a day).
I made the logic / color space behind that.

There isn't actually 4, but that 4th one you perceive...Notice ex. search doesn't do this, it's a stubborn Android engineering politics thing.

I can't even begin to explain how this happened, but, tl;dr: that 4th color was a huge problem to everyone involved. But, once it became a Big Thing, engineer middle managers...sigh. Not worth trying to explain. The amount of chicanery was really astonishing, odds are I'll never work at a BigCo again.

Now, they're stuck with it, even though VPs were insisting it to be fixed since day -100.

To all of your points , it sure looks like he's imitating the same logic to get that off-white...but then isn't using the important part: gotta use my/Google's color space.

That's the magic to get contrast without even having to see the colors or measure ratios or any of that BS. (tl;dr: HCT color space, it's CAM16 strapped to Lab* L, and then you can describe contrasting colors by a delta in tone / L)
I have asked this question in the past and was told that memcpy() is allowed to preemptively read before it has determined it needs to write to make it faster on some CPUs. The presumption is that if you are going to be copying data, there is at least one cache line there already, so reading can start early.
Redux is the most over-engineered invention/perception in the history of software development.
Not only that, malloc is also assumed to return pointer that don't alias anything else.

My own mcp server could be an inspiration on Mac. It's based on pexpect to enable repl session and has some tricks to prevent bad commands.

However, I recommend creating one with your own customised prompts and tools for maximum benefit.
I prefer null as a clear “no value” marker to handle rather than special-casing handling of an empty string vs other strings, and if “empty string” isn’t considered valid that should be validation logic and that should never get stored in the database. But it’s certainly a matter of opinion and either can work as long as you’re consistent.

The point about Django’s choices about default and not-null though is that it can easily lead to crashes while you’re adding fields. If you add a string field with default=“” and don’t specify null=False, the generated schema will be a non-null field without a default value in SQL, but Django will backfill “” into all existing rows. To avoid downtime, you need to deploy migrations & apply them, then deploy the models.py/other code changes. But if anyone tries to write a new row before the new code finishes deploying after applying the migration, it will crash.
Given how the NYT is describing the entire court case (only a level above shit slinging from Twitter), it sounds like this is less about any rationale and more dragging of the feet to get any kind of "win" out of this whole kerfluffle.

The judge basically says as much in the end:

>“You’ve got to scratch and claw and get everything you can for everyone else,” he said.

Which is a truly bizarre statement for a judge to make given the nature of this entire case. Then again, "good faith errors" certainly shows the bias of this judge here.
Peertube is fine.

It just needs more AI, the solution for all software and platform problems du jour
Discord also doesn't work with Firebase OIDC.
I'm not restricting anything but it's a different discussion entirely.

Discussing 1-how to limit civilian casualties during an otherwise legitimate conflict between two nations is one thing, 2-whether those civilian casualties constitute murder (and 3-by whom) is something else. But through pretty much all of human history, nearly all people have recognized a difference between killing during a war, including innocent civilian deaths, and intentional murder. If you want to discuss #1 you had probably agree on #2 first, don't you think?
I had a huuuuuuuuuuge increase the past couple months (10-20 a day). Almost all medicare fraud scams. They seem to be tapering down a bit (2-5 a day). It's interesting, because they have all my info (where I live, my full name, etc.), but somehow not my age? Because if they knew my real age, they shouldn't be calling me for medicare fraud scams... I wonder if maybe what's happening is that the people selling leads lists for scammers are willfully omitting age information, so they can charge more for a larger list which is not obviously 50%+ garbage scam leads for medicare fraud.

I also had an uptick in text spam (used to be very rare until maybe 9 months ago, then it became about 1-2 a day, now it's back down to just a few a week).
It works amazingly well. Great crate!!
> I think we disagree that soil is fungible for growing crops. Even if I were to steelman your stance, it still requires considerable inputs to do so. All of this ends up making food cost more.

To transition, yes. This is an upfront cost that can be alleviated, food does not need to cost more after-the-fact. Trump haphazardly paid off farmers in his previous tenure, it happens.

> Similarly, I think making HFCS more expensive isn't likely to make foods less calorically dense. What it will do is make them more expensive as manufacturers put use more expensive alternatives.

That is the point, I think. Those particular foods are calorie-dense.

> so it doesn't make sense to point to that production level as a reason to get rid of subsidies.

Unless you think production levels would fall to pathetic levels on the global stage, and that this production-level is essential, I don't see why not.

> I find the idea that the proposed solution to obesity is to make food more expensive not very palatable (ha).

Specific foods, to be clear. Packaged products with added sugar would be affected. Meat does not have to be if the new policies account for it.

> it's calories and not HFCS that is the largest contributor to the obesity problem

non-satiating (nil fiber + protein) caloric-dense foods facilitate higher calorie consumption. Sugar is not the only vehicle for this, but it's part of the equation. Sugary drinks deliver lots of calories for very little satiety, for example. Other vectors are flour + fat + salt, fried foods.

I agree that "just get rid of subsidies" can be overly simplistic, but it belongs in the conversation. The point is that cheap and highly-available highly-promoted junk food creates a perverse incentive for consumers to eat more of it at the expense of their health. It's everywhere, including school cafeterias.

Any large-scale national solution invariably entails some kind of deterrence. Either junk food costs more, or is less available, or healthier alternatives are actively promoted and cheaper ($$$, I would throw education in this category too). Pick your poison.

Ostensibly, cutting spending would be more popular with voters in general than increasing taxes and spending. Also, falling tobacco smoking rates are a major success story which can be attributed primarily to sin tax (high prices), eliminating advertisement, and educating the masses.
Word. My mother had a pretty bad childhood. Had to take of herself since she was 16. Poverty, kids and a husband with mental issues led her to smoking. When her life was finally completely on the rails she could start to work on her addiction.

I'm convinced that every person with an addiction has a sob story. There are no happy people sleeping under the bridge.
> completely different type of audience

A general one. And if you think about that its sad that a story has to be rewritten in order to ensure maximal appeal to generate maximal profit. The story isn't rewritten for the screen, it's rewritten for the investors polluting the story with money.

But on the flip side the story reaches a large audience, perhaps larger than the books might have, though not in true form. Double edged sword really.
The article suggests that this is is a first price sealed bid auction instead of a second price sealed bid auction. Skipping over the more complex nature of the Onion bid, the linked articles states "The total value of The Onion’s bid was $7 million" and "First United American Companies had a higher bid, offering $3.5 million in cash".
There is a difference though if the teen does that on purpose for trolling, or if it happens "automatically" if some kid who possibly is lonely or anxious or has a normal amount of social problems has a regular interaction with the model.
Theory: Apple's lifestyle branding is quite important to the identity of many in the community here. I mean, look at the buy-in at launch for Apple Vision Pro by so many people on HN--it made actual Apple communities and publications look like jaded skeptics.
This is a nice audit report. The dedicated threat model section is something that a lot of auditing outfits skip over in their reports. While I'm positive Cure53, Assured, and Atredis (the previous auditors) established an appropriate threat model with Mullvad prior to engagement, it's not explicitly written out for the reader, which opens up room for misinterpretation of the findings.

It’ll work as long as the instance is sufficiently recent. My instance is too old. Guess I have some motivation for upgrading my PeerTube server to latest version now :D
Yes, this is the biggest issue right now and we’re working on a solution.

What we want to do is add the ability to generate the pgroll migrations based on the prisma generated migration files. Depending on the operation, you might need to add more info.

I'd like to add that so many providers do not support either `prompt=select_account` or just natively ask the user which account to login to, mainly for OIDC. Working with IAM systems at work and using different test accounts, it's frustrating when you can't easily log out of the destination IdP for, say, SSO.
Interesting. I was given an IQ test for ADHD diagnostic purposes. There were other test given, as well. And in my opinion, the other tests were more indicative than the IQ test was (which I think is falling out of favor with ADHD testing). Then again, there were some issues with my test and scoring, so it makes me even more dubious of the (psuedo)science.

I went through the arduous process merely for the formal documentation, which in hindsight has served me well. Not a single doctor has ever questioned my diagnosis. However, as the psych told me, a 10 minute conversation with me should honestly have been evidence enough. ;)
They want to tax you on the inflation-driven devaluation of their own shitcoin (the USD), wow.
Even that sounds really problematic, societally speaking. Is it good that 25% of the population has a zero or negative net worth?
Here's the clip of the testimony at the key moment in the trial.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DMbGhAU77ns?feature=share

1. The phone records are from the last 2 years. So not during the time frame of the actual broadcasts about Sandy Hook happened ( which happened way earlier...)

2. He gave the phone records to his lawyer, which goes against claims of him not co-operating. His lawyers would determine which messages get sent over to the prosecution. For example, private communications with his legal team would be protected and would not need to be disclosed.

The defence sent over the entire phone backup, by mistake. Why is this a gotcha you think it is?

The prosecution also acted unethically by not informing the defence that they received protected communications, they weren't entitled to.

The prosecution let the trial happen for 2 weeks, and had not informed the judge that they actually had the information, that they used to get the judge to default him for not cooperating!

So how is this not actually grounds to throw the case out?
Seems like misconduct.

Also, just because he mentioned Sandy Hook in a text message with his lawyers, or privately, doesn't mean the prosecution is automatically entitled to it.
Fox News plays an important role in setting the Overton window. They act like a mainstream news channel, presenting themselves as just to the right of center. Then viewers consume NewsMax, thinking of them as only slightly more extreme, even though an objective view would present them as being utterly crazy-pants.

If Fox News were to disappear, there would be an enormous gap between the other mainstream media and the far-right ones.

I don't know what would happen to its viewership, but they'd be presented with a starker choice than they expect. They're used to thinking of themselves as fairly moderate, while being regularly presented with extreme opinions.

Those opinions have drifted consistently further from reality, and I suspect that the viewers would rather continue that path than follow Fox News to a more moderate place. But that may be unnecessarily cynical.
