>I've gotta be skeptical that Bernie's policies were majority supported at the time, and any investigation would have to look at the evidence, and especially the polling questions, really carefully.

Wholly agreed, and I'm unfortunately way too lazy to do that. But I did look at and cite one snapshot in time where all his policy positions had a majority support (except 15$ min wage because it was framed with "risk of job losses")

>consider how Obama...helping out enough

Yeah, agreed, which I think is more evidence that reality, unfortunately, holds less water than whatever the tv/ipad/iphone tells you to believe about the world. That plus the average american reading comprehension being at or below sixth grade level makes for a tough sell of anything but very simple language, very simple policy. And just in general, an uneducated populace tends to be more susceptible to voting against their own interests.
It is only an implementation detail. It is a matter of change of a few methods only to store sources directly in methods. I tried that once.

Fedora, Arch, or Debian, depending on taste. Arch wiki is very helpful and just about any problem you run into there will be a documented fix/workaround. Fedora is a good mix of up to date software and stability - you also don't need to worry about the command line, everything can be done via gui out of the box.
PopOS is nice
What do you mean? The article implies it from the title through the text.

They hedge by saying “could” but like most articles in this vein it goes on to pivot around the outlier study.
I've been working (on and off) on part 2 of my blog post series on the rigid body collisions [0] for over a year now. I burned out on it a few times and got super mega stuck on one particular section for months on end. I think I've finally broken through the worst of my writer's block, so there might be light at the end of the tunnel!

RankPic (https://www.rankpic.info) is an app to help users crowdsource their best photo.
I've been building over the past 3 years. It's grown into a lovely community of people who help each other pick their best pictures for dating apps, professional photos etc.

I've seen some pretty fun novel use cases, such as (multiple!) people using it to pick out glasses, wedding invites & so on

Hardly surprising to us, those paying attention. But that's an ever shrinking percentage, and the percentage that can parse complex realities is also unfortunately shrinking. If you wanna get real pessimistic google literacy statistics for adults in the US.
> In June 2018, President Trump announced his intention to nominate documentary film producer Michael Pack to head the agency. He was confirmed by the Senate two years later, and served from June 5, 2020 until January 20, 2021, when he was asked to resign at the request of newly-inaugurated President Joe Biden.

Doesnt sound very independent to me if the President can exchange the agency head.

Every ISP should be required upon request to provide the necessary hardware to provide a single IP address on a single copper cable. If some dumb bozo wants to get the ISP deluxe package of gateway/router/DNS sniffer/shit-tier WiFi AP all rolled into one box, fine. The opt out should be as simple as “I have my own equipment, I understand that any support call with you will stop after a public IP is found to be working on premise, now get the hell out of my way thank you”
Having tried to dig into this a while ago, they installed carbon filters.

Most of the stuff for sale as “carbon” filters has too little carbon to do much. You want quite a lot, and, for some gasses, you can get special impregnated carbon or other media.

Great article from The New Yorker about this, also from 2015:

I hope that the author gives banned laptops another shot. I've been able to ban laptops and phones from my classes without issue (at least for grad students). The students even say they appreciate it.

But I recently gave a talk in a colleague's class who allows laptops. Even before I began I had lost 3/4 of the room. The truly interested students closed their laptops and asked questions.
But an implementation wouldn't choose to specify its behavior for an operation to be something that it knows it cannot do efficiently, if the goal is to be efficient, for extremely obvious reasons.

If your hardware does twos complement, the compiler should choose to define the implementation-defined behavior to be twos complement. If the hardware traps, the implementation-defined behavior would be to trap. And so on.

And, as long as the goal isn't to exploit the overflows for fancy optimizations unrelated to what the hardware does, that'll perfectly fine and produce code that doesn't do anything extra over what you'd expect, and won't ever summon cthulhu (as long as the behavior the implementation defines isn't to summon cthulhu).

(that's all assuming that there's a single best definable specific behavior for a given op for a given architecture, which isn't actually true; e.g. ARM scalar shifts do `shift %= width`, but SIMD shifts shift the other direction on a negative amount, and give 0 on `abs(shift) >= width`, only looking at the low 8 bits of the shift amount)
I don't think it is normal to fight to go to nightclubs while others fight and die for everyone's freedom.
For books depicting sex acts, banning such books from public elementary and middle school libraries is reasonable. Is it not?

Does there exist any example of an administration (federal or state) successfully prohibiting the private sale of an LGBTQ book?
With all do respect, I dont think so. The unfairness is relative feeling of judgment brought to you directly by the ability to compare yourself to your neighbors via social.
I'm sorry but to me at least, this was not clear in your comment at all.

Generally it's a good idea to explicitly disambiguate intent (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).
I am sure this is true. But I seem to have had good results building static executables and libraries for C/C++ with cmake (which presumably passes -static to clang/gcc). golang also seems to be able to create static executables for my use cases.

Unless static linking/relinking is extremely costly, it seems unnecessary to use shared libraries in a top-level docker image (for example), since you have to rebuild the image anyway if anything changes.

Of course if you have a static executable, then you might be able to simplify - or avoid - things like docker images or various kinds of complicated application packaging.
> We have no evidence that they have been disappearing people in this manner

Isn't it evidence of "disappearings" that we know many people were transported to a prison in El Salvador but nobody knows who those people in fact are?

As far as I've seen from the press the government hasn't released any documentation about who they flew to El Salvador. Or have they?

If that is true then isn't it also true that this scientist in question might as well be in that Salvadorean prison, as far as we know?
> If your hardware does something else, `fwrapv` will not help you.

Yes, and both you and your compiler know what your hardware is doing.

If you have hardware that does something else, you could do another implementation defined thing. Eg one's complement or trapping or whatever it is your hardware is doing.

>> Unsigned integer overflow doesn't have any conditionals either.

> That's because there is no detection needed. The instruction set for unsigned integers is designed to do that.

It's designed to do that on some (well, almost all) computers. Just like it's designed to do the same for signed integers. Most computers don't even have a special instruction for signed integer addition, because they are twos-complement machines.

Implementation defined could also be:

'Do whatever your processor does with an 'add' instruction; but don't let anything weird travel backwards in time, or make additional assumptions about execution paths not happening.'
Doable but I would prefer a complete isolation for simplicity.

Downvoting team seems to disagree. Maybe she truly is only one-book wonder.
Side discussion, but the United States having two separate, elected legislative and executive branches is kind of lousy. It makes it difficult, as you say, to understand who is responsible for anything. Yet we have somehow convinced ourselves that it is the best system, because we have also convinced ourselves we are the best country.

Most countries with parliamentary systems don't have this problem, where a person votes for a party and that party works with other parties to elect the the head executive. That head executive answers to the legislative. There aren't situations where the legislative and executive branches aren't politically aligned (a divided government) which has become common in the US and basically where nothing can get done.

If you look at other countries that also have Presidential systems, the US is not in very good company:

> It you take my property via threat of violence (coercion), that is thievery. School children understand this. So I'm sure you do as well. Taxes aren't voluntary and if you do not pay them, you will be jailed.

If your landlord demands you pay your rent, is that thievery? Because that’s essentially what tax is

I own a house. I bought it off someone else who bought it off someone else who… go back 40-50 years ago, a property developer bought a farm and subdivided it… and the farmer bought it from another farmer who bought it from another farmer… and it all goes back to this massive farm which was subdivided into smaller farms… and that massive farm was originally a government land grant… and before that the government owned it… and the government got it by stealing the land from the indigenous people

The government land grant was made subject to the condition that the recipient paid taxes. And since you can’t give better title than you have, the same condition passes on to all subsequent purchasers. If the government has no right to my taxes, then I have no right to my house

If taxation is theft, then property is too. But if property is theft, then calling taxation “theft” is like a small time crook complaining a bigger crook robbed them

> A better method would be to just give some schools air filtration for free and see if things help without any other major changes.

This is what the study looked at.

The problem was that it wasn’t randomized within schools or across teachers. They also looked at a very limited time window. They also note that some teachers weren’t using the air filters. They also found that the VOCs they were trying to filter weren’t even detected before the filters were used. They also used some questionable regressions to imply larger trends.

The list of problems goes on and on. It’s fascinating how easily people are tricked into pivoting around this one study, though, simply because it’s the one introduced by the headline.
Don’t you mean get worse before they get better?

Most of the time these means people getting killed.

Specifically for cuneiform, there are multiple efforts, covering roughly the time period you mentioned. There is this post, [1], and [2].

There are probably around 1-2 million cuneiform tablets that have been found so far. Many of them complete, but even more of them as fragments. Those fragments mostly just sit around in store rooms. It's a giant puzzle few people even have enough knowledge to attempt.

I'm working on a combined registration and timing system [0] for motorsports organizers, mostly rallycross atm. Most RX organizers in CA are using it now. In 2023 32 events ran their timing with it!

It's designed to save organizers time and solve reg & timing problems I got tired of dealing with as a competitor.

Soon I'll be adding QR code support, so we can just scan a QR code on your helmet or car at lap (which helps handle multi driver cars etc).

I plan to rebrand it into other verticals later.

Show HN: SumyAI 2.0 – AI powred Taking Notes
Hello HN,
I’m super excited to introduce SumyAI 2.0!

If you spend a lot of time learning online, you know how tedious it can be to take notes, organize key ideas, and turn them into something useful. That’s exactly why I built SumyAI—to help you learn smarter and faster.

Would love to hear your thoughts! Try it out and let me know what you think.

Burmese Days is my favorite Orwell. It captures the state of the colonies under British rule extremely well - the British new-arrivals who are derisive and at best ignorant of the local customs, the British who've grown up in the colony and are more sympathetic but stuck in a world where they'll never truly belong, the extremely corrupt rich locals, the poor mob who are easily misled, the endemic corruption in everything...

This novel could have been set in post-independence India and a lot of the themes would have rung true.
> you need to think critically (and skeptically) to avoid assigning value to things that don't have it, but you must find value.

This isn’t critical thinking.

This is toxic positivity.

It’s okay to admit that some studies don’t have value to add. If you don’t accept this, you’re going to be tricked by a lot of people trying to get your attention with bad data.

Being able (and willing!) to filter out bad sources, even when they say something you want to hear, is a critically important skill. If you force yourself and others to find something positive about everything then you’re a dream come true to purveyors of low quality or even deliberate misinfo.
I am trying to make a point. Apparently very poorly.

Either way, these Tesla protests are just idiotic. The vandalism is criminal. If this is the way Americans save their democracy and the rest of us rely on them then we're all doomed.
Most wikipages contain very broad surface level knowledge, wouldn't that be considered cross-language?
I'm thinking about how to properly test AWS Step Functions. The problem is that I can either mock the entire response for every state in JSON only, or call out to a lambda. What I want is to type check the evaluated JSONPath payload and the mocked JSON response, to ensure that my tests always adheres to global contracts/types written in JSON Schema.

I think it's doable by dynamically creating lambdas based on test cases I define in one way or another, perhaps like mocked integration services, that does nothing but validate if the event from SFN matches a schema, and that the mocked response also matches a schema.

My concern is that I can't find prior projects doing this. My use case is mostly (exclusively at the moment) calling out to lambdas, so perhaps I can get away with this kind of type checking. But it's just weird that something like this doesn't already exist! Past experiences have taught me that if no one have tried it before, my idea is usually not that good.

Let me know what you think!

(Would have liked to use durable execution which totally solves the typing issue, but can't in this case)

Why doesn't opposing capitalism count as a policy? It seems entirely reasonable for one of the people in that +32 to say "well, I like a lot of Bernie's proposals, but he thinks we should put fetters on capitalism and I think we shouldn't do that". (Multiple people I know have told me something along those lines, although I should acknowledge it's true they were all boomers.)

> some studies

It's almost every study on HN, not some studies, which you'd understand if you read my comment.
It depends on the model, some universities are easy to get in but have weed-out classes, some are hard to get in but comparatively easy to finish, and some are both hard to get in and hard to finish.

Discrete maths back in my days was one of those almost universal weed-out classes which got rid of people with limited abstract thinking ability who weren't willing or able to get over that with hard work. Very heavy correlation between how well you did in that class and core CS subjects.

Doesn't matter that Democrats oppose it. The fact that there are enough Americans who do support it puts us well beyond trust for any international audience. Democrats could be the best allies and most cooperative people in the world. But Republicans will just tear up any treaties or agreements the next time they get power. It's now impossible to trust the US. The world has seen who we really are and the Democrats have been completely useless at mitigating any of it. The last image the world got from our Democrats is them campaigning with the Cheney's.

> The problem only becomes apparent when you have at least one legit accepted follower from a Pixelfed server. Now that server is allowed to fetch all your private posts. And when it knows the posts, it has to decide who to show them. When you accept a follower, you not only place your trust to keep a secret on them, but also on their admin and the software they are running.

Like I get it, compromises had to be made due to cacheing because it would be untenable if the same server had to fetch a single post hundreds of thousands of times but this makes activitypub an extremely high trust protocol between servers.

Then those surveys were only of privileged students who had the connections and the family backing to not worry about thier livelihood.

I can guarantee you that my mom went to college so she could get a job (retired teacher). My dad went to school because it was free as a veteran. But he made more as a factory worker.

I don’t know a single person who went to college with me for any other reason than a career.

I also bet those surveys didn’t go to the now Historically Black Colleges and Universities - the only ones that my mom could go to.
