> And here lies the problem. You have formed an opinion and are unable to accept counter evidence.

Pot, kettle. Upon discussing things further, the evidence I found completely supports my point.

> That’s an idiotic comment given I’ve listed plenty of issues with the UK already.

Wow, resorting to insults. Nice. I should probably point out that's against the HN guidelines.

The issues you listed are different types of issues. You're going out of your way to deny the issue we are discussing is an issue.

> The literal one point I’m defending is that the police don’t arrest you for thought crimes / posting memes online.

Not arrested, but they show up to intimidate which itself is the problem.

> And the reason I’m defending the government on that one point is because it’s flat out wrong and those who claim otherwise are spouting ignorant horseshit.

Seems your defending against a strawman and not the actual issue being discussed.

> Bullshit. You’re the one making comparisons and claiming the UK is the worst offender. Then when evidence is shared about how the UK isn’t you ignore it.

It's not bullshit, and subsequent discussion and investigation has only strengthened my point.

I don't ignore anything, it's just that the evidence presented doesn't support your position.

Thought crime policing is still going on as of 2024, and 25% of the roughly 13,000 "non hate crime incidents", many of which are thought crimes, were incorrectly reported. [0]

Jesus, they recorded an issue as a hate incident because someone didn't want to shake hands. Ignoring and excusing that is akin to burying your head in the sand IMO.

> Are you sure it’s not yourself who’s suffering from tribalism?

Reasonably, since I'm not resorting to insults and strawmen.

I can't quite figure out what this is. Is it a way to run KVM VMs but make their windows show up on the host without a virtual "screen" that you have in a window?
From Wikipedia about MRT:

> making the network one of the world's costliest on both a per-kilometre and absolute basis. The system is managed in conformity with a semi-nationalised hybrid regulatory framework; construction and procurement fall under the purview of the Land Transport Authority (LTA), a statutory board of the government that allocates operating concessions to the for-profit private corporations SMRT and SBS Transit. These operators are responsible for asset maintenance on their respective lines, and also run bus services, facilitating operational synchronicity and the horizontal integration of the broader public transportation network.

Privatization doesn’t work for infrastructure that has no competition. That’s why the cheapest broadband is when the city runs and maintains the fiber & companies pay for access to the customer base.
This is a common attitude in other engineering fields, but they also don't tend to have outstanding software and don't care to.
Teapot Dome Scandal
Much sillier to think "reindustrialization" is possible. It is a problem of social metabolism, not a policy issue. Industrialization was a particular historical phenomenon that has now fully passed in the West.

China "won" before the game even began for the simple fact of them being a very late developer. Development is not even guaranteed as a consequence of industrialization anymore; see premature deindustrialization. No misinformation needed, just cold hard historical laws.
You still need GPU passthrough if you want to use ant actual GPU instead of llvmpipe or whatever else renderer. Mind you, QubeOS is virtualization OS, Linux on QubesOS does not have access to GPU by default

What would that look like? Do you have kids or a family to support? I'm one of two gainfully employed breadwinners among an extended family of 13 adults and 2 kids (my own).
For most languages, the inner function body when first defined is parsed/compiled once, with the unbound free variables collected in a list. At the next calling of the function definition, the compiled function body is reused and only the free variables are bounded to the variables in the outer environment (closure). It's quite efficient. Depending on the implementation, it could just be a two-element struct pointing to the compiled function body and to the outer environment. Or it could be a small call thunk embedding the setup of the variable bindings and the jump to the address of the function body.
I guess I'm just not a family person. I don't have too much to complain about my family but I don't (net) gain much. Of course I'm as responsible as your usual parents on the street so I don't want to get rid of my family.
Vouched as it seemed like it's only been three ... four or ten days since the topic was last raised ...

Controversial topics aren't the problem, it's the level of intelligence, ability to observe forum etiquette (read faq / guides) as well as the ability to read the room before adding a comment - one that falls towards an effort to post something of additional value or quality.

Just search Dang's recent posts - they should clear up any nuances to be had, stuff which seems to fall outside of the guide lines.

As for flagging, as I view the dead threads as well, so much is just a repeat of earlier posts hours in not a hour before - maybe from a slightly different angle ... an inch or two to the left or right. I think, IMHO, it would be hard to find a thread that was flagged that wasn't something similarly posted in the last few days.
Are you saying you think Earth is the only planet to contain life?
It is absolutely true when you add in the road wear and particulate matter from that caused by heavier EVs.
In my experience people think 'the media' is biased, etc., but when they examine a particular article (from a quality source) they think it's good. That seems to be human nature: Politicians are corrupt but I like my local representative. Obamacare is terrible but I like my ACA health insurance.
I almost feel like it's two things -- the recruiter interface that you mention, and separately a social network where people are posting about their professional, and even personal, achievements and adventures -- true or imagined -- completely separate from the recruiting part but sharing a brand and identity provider.
That seems very extreme. I remember my entire childhood from about 4 years old on.
Congratulations on dodging that bullet.
I scarcely recognize the person I was at 19 as the same person as me.

I have almost no recollection of school except for maybe a couple of dozen moments and a handful - no more than 4 or so - acquaintances. They were friends at the time, but we went to different colleges in different towns, we're not close now.

I remember books I read, but they're detached from a timeline. I remember programming - that was the most formative thing I learned, and it was outside school - but I have very little recollection of actual time spent, just that I did a huge amount of learning.

> That's not a huge difference. 3% is like an average of 3 extra misses

More like 5 extra misses per game.

And we're getting more uncontested misses today.

> a big man backing down his man for like 20 seconds and throwing up a clanker that gets rebounded into another 20 second post possession. Realistically that's what a lot of offense was like back in the day.

But this clearly wasn't happening 64% of the time.

The irony is that contemporary players are better shooters. Yet their overall shooting % is lower, because they're consistently taking longer, harder shots.
> When 99.9% of posted jobs are fake (including in HN's Who's Hiring)

Okay there a lot of fake jobs, maybe not as high as 99.9%, though.

But what's the basis for saying that "Who's Hiring?" is fake? Why would a business seek out a relatively lower traffic job venue, field the traffic of submissions, and then ghost everyone who applies (or whatever is done by 99.9% fake jobs)? Why wouldn't employers just save themselves the effort and do nothing?
Jellyfin's "management" of my media catalog strongly drove me away from Jellyfin. It was terrible at dealing with seasons of shows, with dealing with subdirectories. So much frustration.

Casting from my phone also got de-synced & broke a lot. I couldn't find a good way to skip/scrub forwards or backwards a little bit. Sometimes the themeing would break & the app became unusable without restart.

It was really really cool having jellyfin-mpv-shim running on my desktop, and Chromecast elsewhere. But Jellyfin was straight up not working for me, not listing a bunch of my media, not making it navigable, and the Android app's dodginess all ruined things for me. I went back to UPnP/DLNA, whose apps are a little cruder (Gerbera for MediaServer, BubbleUPnP for control, Rygel PlayBin for MediaRenderer), everything basically just works and it's baked into many devices/tv's.
Any US goods exported to a VAT country (e.g Germany, France, Italy, Japan, etc) and the industries affected are automotive, manufacturing, agriculture, technology, pharmaceuticals, etc. All of them

Some examples

A Ford car exported from the US to Germany must be priced after paying US corporate tax (21% federal + state taxes)

A BMW exported from Germany to the US gets a full VAT refund (~19% in Germany), making it tax-free on export

US does not refund taxes on exports, but the EU does

My final points are that EU exporters sell their products abroad with no tax burden due to VAT refunds and US exporters must price in US corporate taxes

Final example

Boeing (US) exports planes priced after US corporate tax (~21%)

Airbus (EU) exports planes after receiving a VAT refund (~20%), making their planes cheaper in global markets

This is why Trump and others see VAT as a “hidden tariff”
Haha, this is my thread. There’s a typo in the second tweet. Unfortunately there’s no way to edit threads on twitter.

> (10^100) + 1 − (10^100) is 0, not 1.

I should have said: (10^100) + 1 − (10^100) is 1, not 0.

One other error is here:

> I asked for 2π to within 0.01 decimals, so you need an approximation of π that's within 0.005 decimals.

“0.01 decimals“ and “0.005 decimals“ should have simply been “0.01” and “0.005” respectively.

lol, more whataboutisms.

Yes, race issues in the US are a huge issue. That doesn't mean thought policing in the UK isn't also a huge issue.

The difference is I don't deny the issues you mention, nor do I try to deflect by referring to, say, the growing bladed weapons epidemic in the UK.

For someone that said they were done when asked to provide sources, you're participating in this discussion more than I would have expected. Is this what you consider 'being done', writing low-effort fallacious comments?

> (which literally just mean they’ve investigated a complaint)

It means they showed up to grill people over thoughts, and it's baffling how you don't see that as an issue.
It accelerates plant growth, reducing nutrient concentration per cubic centimeter of food, but increasing the total nutrient yield because the overall boost in biomass outweighs the dilution effect. This is why greenhouse farms pump CO2 into their environments. Your reaction though really demonstrates a close-mindedness about your belief that CO2 is harmful that is anti-science.
> Computers are a really hostile environment for audio

My first thought was the author should be happy that they don't live back in the bad old days of computing. Audible noise was the norm, even when you were playing audio. At least for PCs with sound cards. I don't recall the situation being quite as bad on other platforms. Modern PCs are much better on this front.

I have vague recollections of a quote from the Computer Chronicles in the mid-1990's. It went to the effect of turning a $2000 computer into a $200 stereo ...
I miss VB too.

"Are you trying to say this quote is painting him as not innocent?"

Correct. Instead of targeting just people that medically need it, this quote paints him as specifically advertising to and targeting the addicted patients of less-than-reputable doctors who would over-proscribe this, get the patient addicted, and thus have them in the loop of buying more painkillers.
Every society regulates speech. There is no society that allows everyone free speech in the absolute sense of the word. If another society regulates speech differently than yours then you can always accuse it of violating free speech. There was nothing epic or historic in what Vance said. Germany regulates speech differently than the U.S. That doesn’t make German society less free or less “democratic”.

I don't live there, so I wouldn't know, but did they run out of other candidates that haven't shilled tramadol?
These locations are probably not financially sustainable. I would also say it's not impossible to make them urban friendly.

For example, I think of stroad as opportunities to implement public transportation by getting of a lane or two. It is also easier to add bike lanes since you aren't constrained by how wide the streets are.

I once lived in a building between a very busy railway line (mixture of electric and diesel trains, passengers and freight) and an average road (cars and one bus route).

The windows facing the railway would get coated in a black grit. Slightly oily particles, just sticky enough to stick to the glass.

The windows facing the road would get coated in a dark brown slime.

According to the air quality maps of the city, the road is slightly more polluting than the railway, although the railway is carrying 100,000 passengers a day.
I tried switching to Jellyfin. But the feature parity between Plex and Jellyfin just isn’t there. This was roughly 6-9 months ago.

I have a 5.1 surround sound setup with Dolby atmos and 4k HDR 10 with Nvidia Shield Pro android TVs as clients. I have Blu-ray rips that play completely fine on Plex, but stutter, have no sound, or downscale to 2.0 sound on JellyFin.

There are some fixes that involve using a JellyFin server and a Kodi media client on Google TV’s. This does enable DTS and Ddd+ sound. While that technically works, it is very involved and feels like many more steps than just using Plex.

If you use a basic 1080p tv with two speakers and lazy encodes of media, Jellyfin probably works great for you. If you have anything a little more complex then you will inevitably see some problems.

This is similar to other open source projects like Ashai. The basic features are easy enough to build, but the more complicated use cases always require more time and effort, and people aren’t always willing to do that complicated extra effort for free.
No one knows what will bring in revenue. It’s all just a guess and at most bigcos there are far more people who can create tickets than there are people who can close them.

Every PM I’ve ever worked with had 10x more things they wanted to add than they had devs to add them.
Anyone care to share their experiences with some of the less common Jellyfin frontends? Which ones are most in need of contributions?

I've had a decent experience with the Samsung TV (Tizen) client. It's annoying to not have it on the app store yet and to jump through the developer-mode hoops to get it installed, but to be fair it was a one time setup and I've been happy with it since then. Seen some occasional slightly janky menu navigation, but really it's been far better than I expected.
When you hit college age is often when your odds of experiencing the first death in your family spikes up. Grandparent, great grandparent, oldest aunt. It happened to a number of friends of friends and acquaintances. Some people were a complete mess and others were more resilient.

The pattern I noticed was the people who had lost a pet were more equipped to deal with the loss of a human. The worst hit people never even had pets. Maybe a coincidence, but I suspect not. I don’t think it hurts any less, but you know better what needs to be done to move through it instead of getting stuck.

(Sorry for your loss)
Thanks for the detailed reply, I’ll look through my configuration and see if I can find where the issues are with the file watching. You’re right, many of them are likely because I have to use Infuse, due to the native Apple TV client being so bad.

When I say there is UI jank and lag, what I mean is that content re-renders and shifts around when you search, results flash in and out with loading animations. the placeholder tiles are clearly visible and I can see the tiles loading in when I scroll. This happens in both the web client and Apple TV. I believe the issue is the API design that’s dictating how clients fetch and load data, some virtualization in the frontend implementation, and a lack of prefetching/caching.

I have a 10 gig network to a very fast NAS setup and a very small media library. the image assets should be able to be cached/streamed/prefetched from the server so that I do not ever see a placeholder tile (maybe if you jump ahead like 1/2 the library, then that makes sense).

Perhaps this is one of those things where people haven’t seen what’s really possible performance-wise from a local server and they’re OK with something that feels like a webpage. But nothing feels like a native app that just has all my content there all the time. It feels like a remote service even though it’s < 1 ms away on a hardwired multigig network. Does that make sense? Do you agree with that?
... Alternatively you do none of that and frack underwater basalt.

What makes these gotcha arguments so infuriating is that you have no clue what you are talking about, and refuse to spend even 15 minutes googling for what projects have been proposed and what is being studied. Instead you dream up an imaginary strawman to rail against. Literally no-one has ever proposed doing any of what you just talked about, because it would very clearly be economically unviable. There are many options that are not that which are being studied.
While there is a "CO2 fertilization effect" where rising atmospheric carbon dioxide can initially boost plant growth, scientists are increasingly stating that this effect is reaching its limit, meaning plants can no longer absorb as much CO2 due to factors like nutrient limitations and other environmental constraints, effectively capping the potential for further carbon uptake from the atmosphere.

It rose in the 30 years prior to your 2016 article, it's peaked and it is unlikely there will be any further benefical effects of "greening" (not the same as "nutritional") vegetation .. and this is outweighed by the downsides of increased insulation in the atmosphere trapping more of the daily solar influx energy at the land, sea, air interface.
Yeah but packaged into a singular smart speaker product.

We know there’s a market out there for Alexa and Google home. So this would be the next generation of that. It’s the nobrainer next step.
GulfOfMexico: Perfect Programming Language
Nor am I
Reported on by an opinion column. And they said journalism is dead!
There seem to be errors connecting to peers
You're conflating a few concepts:

* Objective knowledge

* Consensus knowledge

Consensus knowledge is not the same thing as objective knowledge, nor is it in and of itself a Good Thing.

Consensus knowledge is simply the current consensus of a specific group of people, who themselves bring a ton of subjectivity to their analysis. The smaller that group and the more self-selecting it is, the lower the value of their consensus, because of necessity they represent only a tiny fraction of the sum total of human experience. And the larger the group is and the more dynamic the selection process, the more difficult it becomes to summarize their perspective into any sort of consensus knowledge.

Objective knowledge is not consensus knowledge, objective knowledge is the platonic ideal to which consensus knowledge aspires.

Conflating consensus knowledge with objective knowledge is how we ended up in a place where so many people across the board question the idea that objective truth even exists! Instead of where the scientific method started—with a philosophy built around the idea that there is objective truth and we are capable of better and better modeling it through rigorous tests—we're in a place where some people have conflated the map for the territory, leading others to question whether the territory exists at all.
I tried this but using two servers means you lose or fragment all your watch history. If I have to remember where I am in a series myself, I might as well just use VLC.
How would we discover simple life forms elsewhere in the universe? It's not impossible the Mars rovers could have have found fossils, but it's not like we've been to the 100 million other stars in this galaxy, never mind any other galaxy.

Our radio and other telescopes aren't good enough to detect life on other solar systems unless we get really lucky, though if we manage to get 1000 au out we could use the sun's gravitational lens to magnify other planets enough that would see continents, detect artifical radio sources, etc.

Interstellar travel is hard, maybe not even practical. It's one thing to travel to another star, it's another thing to travel to another star, create an industrial base, then travel to another star. And why would you be motivated? You might be alive, just barely, to get the news from the next star over, but not much longer than that.

The space colonization project that makes the most sense in this solar system (read it carefully to see why it strictly dominates everything that's been proposed) is

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.07487

I'd assume anyone who develops interstellar travel would develop that first, it would be suicide to plan to colonize an Earth-like world on the other end (might face severe biological incompatibility) but it seems a realistic plan to build something like that Ceres megastructure on the far side. In fact, if somebody developed D-D fusion they could exploit similar objects that are scattered throughout interstellar space which makes the hops between stars shorter but might mean they'd be indifferent to stars and dry Earth-like planets completely when they could, instead, gravitationally disrupt generic outer solar system/interstellar bodies (like Pluto) and make a number of small ringworlds or other megastructures.

If there's any evidence they haven't been here it's that Ceres is still there.
The final paragraph is brilliant:

> If the rules seem Draconian at first, bear in mind that they are meant to make it possible to check code where very literally your life may depend on its correctness: code that is used to control the airplane that you fly on, the nuclear power plant a few miles from where you live, or the spacecraft that carries astronauts into orbit. The rules act like the seat-belt in your car: initially they are perhaps a little uncomfortable, but after a while their use becomes second-nature and not using them becomes unimaginable.
Most don’t. Not all have heatpumps either. In fact anything outside Tesla is still garbage.
And what kind of experience do you have?

Because I suspect it depends a lot on skill level.
Just for what it's worth, I've never had that screen pop up on my Jellyfin instance. I'm just using the official OCI image with a pretty boring configuration. Maybe there's something weird going on? I don't think it's expected in the basic use case.
