They certainly reflect history better than they do for the First Nations in Canada.

I also have no idea whatsoever what 1500 year old history has to do with anything. None of the cultures of that time exist today in any meaningful sense. Even the Italians or Greeks of today are not the Romans and Greeks of 300 CE, they are vastly different cultures and speak unintelligibly different languages.
There are countless resources you can use to solve your extreme ignorance of the US. Asking people in a HN thread probably isn’t the most effective.
Russia didn't have much of a choice in the matter given the whole economic collapse happening, but I'm glad we're on the same page about who had been in control. Not that they didn't try in the beginning though. They tried to blockade Lithuania and send tanks which backfired, but they literally couldn't afford to have an actual civil war.

The US civil war comparison alluded to is superficial nonsense. They're only similar if you ignore all the details that matter like states voluntarily joining with full knowledge they were giving up sovereignty, actual federal political representation and that the Confederacy started the war by attacking Union soldiers first. Nor was there anything unconstitutional about waging a war, putting down a rebellion or even suspending habeas corpus - those are explicitly enumerated powers - powers that several of the seceding states helped draft.
Are you a high earner? Do you need to budget your food expenditures?

This is consistent with what I know. I did not need the full API for my use case, just access to planet positions across times in the next few decades.

Show HN: An SSH based utility to transfer pipes across machines – beam
Hey HN,

At work, I was annoyed about having to download logs by writing them out to files and transferring them over to my local over HTTP (admittedly, this is because of a rather novel architectural situation).

So, I built a tool in Go that lets you pipe contents into an SSH server for sending and reading them out on another connection. You can also use this tool to transfer files. Just cat the file on the sender end and redirect the output of the receiver end to a file.

Please note that the transfer rate is heavily dependent on your connection and proximity to the public ssh.beam.camp host. This is because there is no simple way to auto connect to the closest host using a regular SSH client.

Hope you find beam useful.
Have a nice weekend.
Well the Guinea worm does force humans to get into water to complete the parasitic cycle. But it's also on track to be fully eradicated.

I think a parasite affecting human behavior in a substantial way is risking detection and elimination. So unlike with mantises this decreases the chance of survival, unless you paint a zombie-apocalypse kind of scenario.

A successful human parasite has to alter the host behavior in a very subtle way. This could be happening even now and we wouldn't know. There's some evidence this is the case with toxoplasma increasing affection towards cats.
This is the best point that I hadn't considered by far. I was only thinking of the actual territory of Europe, but you're absolutely right that things look very different in overseas colonies.

I agree that the Antlr Typescript grammar is underwhelming, and I also agree with the difficulty of not having a well defined owner of the project to interact with. My main use case is parsing TS type definitions, and the grammar from the grammars-v4 repo doesn't parse anything starting with 'declare', which is pretty fundamental.

Best to hear it from the source, since the I'm not comfortable trying to explain the legalities:

But to attempt to summarize it, LegalEagle was trying to file a FOIA request for to DOJ and the FBI for rejecting their request to retrieve documents related to the January 6th riots. And they were rejected in one way that basically suggested that it wasn't read, and one claiming that there were not "part of the media" (which shouldn't matter since anyone can file a FOIA). There's a lot of stalling tactics being done and there's worries that the records could he expunged if too much time passed.
They are talking about what the EU countries of today can learn from the Canadians' treatment of First Nations people today. Canada's treatment of the First Nations people was also appaling up into the 20th century.

If we are playing with phone camera form factors, I vote for thinking outside the phone. Remove the camera entirely from the phone, and put it in a separate cylindrical device; a smaller incarnation of Apple's ancient iSight webcam. Stuff in better optics, put controls on the cylinder, and allow viewing the image from my watch when taking a photo/video. So I can leave the phone at home...
One thing people are not aware of and am curious of how big it really is: China manufacturing laundry. Essentially, goods are manufactured in China, then laundered to a third-party country and then exported to the US/EU. This come in two flavors, legal laundry where the local manufacturer satisfies the conditions; and illegal one where bribes are paid to pass goods.

> https://antidumping.vn/eu-chinabike-duty-hits-indonesia-mala...

I come from a country that does this. Massive deficit with China vs. an equivalent surplus with the EU. Weak manufacturing base that essentially import Chinese, does some packaging and then export it back.

Okay. And?

That’s not me just being glib. We have almost a million percent more engineers these days, and that number is very nearly not an exaggeration.

I’ll take that over your BASIC prompt plus “intrinsic motivation”, whatever that is. By every possible measure, more of the people you think probably “should” be software engineers are today.

Here in Australia in a semi rural non big city town there are a lot of professional grade DIY installs.

The area has many FiFo (Fly In Fly Out) mine site workers and farmers all of whom are capable of fixing panels to roofs and racking batteries .. the wiring and looms are either "done by a mate" or done from a sketch on the back of envelope, or reading the sheet of instructions that come with an order.

The important part, safety, comes at the end when one of the few working town electricians (or an "off duty" mine electrician) checks the wiring for safety and compliance and signs off on the work for a fee.

Like many things the total cost is sweat equity + mail order prices + professional inspection and sign off (for insurance and peace of mind).
Thanks for the reply, I think your reasons make total sense for your use case and I was also underwhelmed by Antlr, or at least the TS grammar for it. But I don't need the vast majority of what SWC offers, I just need a type declaration parser - that seems like it should be much more tractable to keep up to date, especially since there's a massive test suite in DefinitelyTyped.

If anything, the amount of shovelware sharply decreased over time. In the Atari 2600 and NES days there were hardly any sources which reported on the quality of games. You basically had to decide based on box art or word of mouth. The result were cheap movie tie-ins or the like.

Later there were a lot of specialized game review magazines, though it wasn't easy to get hold of a review for a non-current game if you didn't have past magazine issues laying around. Then there was the Internet with increasingly many free reviews, especially once online advertising took off and game magazines moved to the Web, and finally we got accessible average user ratings from Steam or Metacritic.

If a game is bad today, everyone will know it. There are no bad movie tie-ins anymore. Games are at most bland, similar to an action movie sequel, or exploitative, by using addicting game mechanics. But they are rarely bad in the old sense. I've read that the new Indiana Jones game is better than most of the Indy movies.
They would probably have to guess, but start here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_(waves)

Fun fact: the maximum amount of information you can store in a place is the entropy of a black hole, and it's proportional to the surface area, not the volume.
Your assertion is that the Scots, the Irish, and the Welsh are treated less fairly in the UK today than the First Nations people are in Canada? Because the article was claiming that EU countries have a lot to learn from Canada today.

I personally very much disagree with the concept that First Nations people in Canada are afforded more rights and are freer to practice their cultural identity than the Scots, Welsh, and Irish in the UK in 2024.
> I always found it interesting (although frightening) that rabies cause hydrophobia.

Well, there are two potential senses of "hydrophobia".

In its primary use, it means "rabies", and it's not really interesting that rabies would cause that.

In rare cases, it could mean "fear of water", which rabies doesn't cause. Rabies causes pain when swallowing. The pain causes fear through conventional mechanisms.
Thanks for clearing that up. I should've read your post more closely. To be honest I never checked the second link because I follow the Android privacy/security scene pretty closely and I was already pretty confident that if DivestOS added support for that I'd have already heard about it. My bad!
Nationalism and capitalism make uneasy bedfellows. Are American companies allowed to increase profits by selling abroad, but not allowed to employ abroad? That suggests that foreigners can't sell their skills to the USA.

The basic ranking algorithm is determined by points and time, but the software provides ways to override that. One of them is "moderation penalties"—which means downweighting the post, so the actual rank of the story is lower than the basic algorithm would predict. The degree of downranking depends on the particular weight that the moderator decides to apply.

In cases where we're merging thread B into thread A, it's not in anyone's interest to have both A and B hovering in the user's face, so once we've moved all the comments into A, we apply the maximum downweight to B.

Does that answer your question?

I'd say it's the other way around. In JS, async is just syntax sugar on Promises, they still execute within the same event loop. So regardless of if you are in async or not, you always have to think about not blocking. This becomes a lot easier to reason about, because all code is from the beginning made to be non blocking. Whereas in python if you call a blocking sync function from async world you are up for trouble. The problem solved in the OP is the unusual case where you need to do some big sync computation.

> I don't understand how games that are essentially asset flips can be so successful year after year.

In my opinion, whether a game is enjoyable or not doesn't really rely on whether or not they were technically challenging to make. I don't know any successful games that are in fact "asset flips", but I do know that a lot of the games that I really enjoy are not technologically "pushing the envelope" at all: caves of qud, cube chaos, kenshi, rift wizard, just to name a few.

Why don't most effects cross species barriers? Plenty of viruses, for example, affect some species but not others. When developing medical treatments, I thought that researchers had to carefully choose animal species analogs to humans for testing, and even then it was very unreliable.
A world where I’ve done everything I could, that was wasted by everyone I know.

But hey, you choose what you do with the cards you’re dealt with, you still don’t choose in what kind of crossfire or revolution you were born in in. Even if you are my fellow citizen, relative or own mother, you may have chosen to commit war crimes like displacing populations, hating on whites, voting for islam, making us live under occupation, and not showing human traits. I didn’t.

My only choice was to keep doing my duties, providing wealth and safety to those around me, and explaining them the consequences of their actions.

Nothing else I can do. That was an awful life, thank you. Maybe one day you’ll wake up, look up for success measurements of your choices, and think: “Damn. We could have avoided all that. We could have saved that guy and that guy.”

Or not. Your choice not mine.

I'm a new grad from UC Berkeley, having double majored in Computer Science and Sociology, with a little over a year of software engineering work experience in automation and mobile development. I'm very social with a collaborative mindset, so I'm looking forward to working with a team of experienced engineers on challenging projects!
I manage large video/audio assets, so disk usage is very noticeable. I've done the mv to a designated trash folder with another script that finds files in that folder older than designated time to live and then -exec rm -f {} \; type of stuff. Even typing that out still gives me pause. Nobody ever needs a file with such urgency as just 24 hours after it was deleted, but not in the designated time out window.

From what I can understand the attack scenario is as follows:

1. User downloads an app from F-Droid that supports reproducible builds.

2. The developer's account is compromised and submits an app with a different-than-expected signing key.

3. A new user installs the app (existing users aren't affected due to Android's enforcement of using the same signing key for updates).

4. This user is (external to the app) contacted by the attacker and directed to install an update to the app from them. The update contains malicious code.

F-Droid's response is concerning but this attack scenario seems pretty unlikely to work in practice.

Oh yeah I expect LLMs to revolutionize search/UIs but a broken demo is a broken demo.

I guess in this case it might be a flaw of the underlying data input though. If the locations aren't tagged then it's not going to pick them up.

So it's probably similar to google maps but the search is just more configurable.
I pay for Perplexity (and for Anthropic and for OpenAI and lots of other services) just so I don’t see ads. I absolutely detest ads. That’s why I hardly use Google anymore because its results are polluted, both search results and images. The results are not authentic (anymore). So this is a very bad move by Perplexity.

It is not 60% from a single country, and it's not been that rapid of a change.

Here's the stats for you:

https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/12-581-x/2023001/sec2-en...

Asian origin (all of Asia including China and India) has been the dominant origin for immigration to Canada since 2006, and it has only changed from ~40% to ~50% since then.

India alone accounted for 27% of immigrants admitted to Canada on a temporary basis in 2022: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/co...

Now we can stick to the facts? Will you accept the facts or no?
Even if that were true, it would only be an interesting bit of trivia rather than a fact with predictive power applicable to the present.

I think that would be a niche product, at best.

Most users would want to use the screen of their smartphone as a viewfinder. That either means using both hands or requiring a way to attach the thing to the smartphone.

Also, to do the image processing, that cylinder would need to have most of the processing power of the iPhone and, thus, a fairly large battery.
