This false equivalency, if you honestly believe it, is shallow at best.

The ‘left’ has identified speech that is likely used to belittle or negate someone else’s existence and will appropriately label it as hate speech. Any structural changes to make these words frowned upon have taken years to get into place; people were allowed to adjust (and the length of time to do so is ridiculous in its own right), and what little change has happened did so in a way where the people who must change are barely inconvenienced. There have been few legal repercussions for the use of hate speech by anyone with a modicum of power. Sure, you could identify a few, but there are a ludicrous number of flagrant violations of any such laws (which are few) which go unpunished. The ‘left’ here being any sane member of society which has publicly pointed out that certain words are singularly incendiary.

Meanwhile, the grifters of this ‘right’ have conned the honest conservatives into believing that DEI is a term of hatred against conservatives. The ‘right’ has identified that they wish to say whatever without punishment and are structurally creating a cost for using inclusive language in any official capacity. The grifting part of the ‘right’ also doesn’t mind breaking any semblance of stability for everyone else. The ‘right’ here being the near-narcissistic people who have happened upon positions of privilege and believe that they are superior, have earned it, and that only those similar to themselves should ever attain such a position in the future.

But no, you have reduced your observation to ‘two sides are banning words.’
systemd-boot is much smaller than grub.
>(The silence from all the 'free speech' folks on this point is deafening.)

As one of the 'Free Speech folks', I'll bite.

I absolutely condemn the administration rounding up someone like Mahmoud Khalil if the only thing he did was speak a rallies. If you look up Uncivil Law's video on Mahmoud Khalil Deportation, he is saying the same thing.

Now, let's flip this around. Where are all my left wing friends willing to condemn the investigation into Trump for his Jan. 6th speech? Are you willing to join us now?
Terraform and Chef definitely go well together. Like peanut butter and chocolate. Terraform is great at provisioning cloud resources but not so great at configuring the details once they're up, Chef is great at configuring servers that exist but can't do squat to provision them in the first place. At my job we use both of them quite a bit to manage our stateful EC2 instances, because of the way they complement each other.

Something like this or an electric van would be amazing. However, does everyone always want to borrow it? I don’t think I own anything that wouldn’t fit in a vehicle like that.
What happens to the majority of the industries with little profit margins?
The study was published by the Ariadne Project[0]. They also publish studies that actually criticize other subsidiaries by the government [1]

Our research system in Germany is mostly publically funded, btw. Not sure who else would fund an independent study. It is actually a meta study, that states it's methodology and also mentiones contradictory results.

Soyuz is single use: if the capsule gets banged up a bit on a hard earth landing, it's not a problem (well, assuming the people inside survive).

Dragons are reusable, and Fram2 was in fact the fourth mission of the same vehicle. So they need to be treated with kid gloves.
Oh the reason I ask is that multiple recorders that hear the same ambient noise can be stacked to produce signals that are otherwise unobservable in a single signal.
In Zig, basic operations on vectors with standard operators work fine. "+", for example.

const meta = @import("std").meta;

test "vector add" {
const x: @Vector(4, f32) = .{ 1, -10, 20, -1 };
const y: @Vector(4, f32) = .{ 2, 10, 0, 1 };
const z = x + y;
try expect(meta.eql(z, @Vector(4, f32){ 3, 0, 20, 0 }));
}

Everything is element-wise, which matches what the shading languages do (mostly).

But, yes, you won't get overloading allowing things like dot, cross, or scalar products. And I do miss the swizzle notation, but I don't think the language actually prevents that so it might appear at some point.
AutoDLA, New Python ORM, simple and powerful
In my last job position I built a lot of POCs, this repetive proccess meant that i had to write a lot of connections to DBs because no ORM convinced me, i have free time so I built what i wished i have back then.
Fast, simple, powerful, auto-documentation and auto admin panel, check it out!
I'm arguing for the hypothetical possibility that an Objectivist could have hypocrisy on this. The argument that any individual Objectivist actually does requires a tremendous amount of additional information.

I do personally know some Objectivists who I believe are hypocritical on this matter. But that is based on years of interaction, and I wouldn't expect you to be convinced of that simply because I said it.
NSA warns "fast flux" threatens national security. What is fast flux anyway?
Not sure I entirely agree. Myst had mass market appeal because it was one of the first crossover/"casual" games that didn't require the player to immediately start killing things within a few seconds of starting up the game. I could let my mother play Myst--I don't think I could let her play Half-Life. For one thing, if trying to show her Minecraft taught me anything, it's that the paradigm of separated Looking vs Moving (i.e. WASD+Mouse) control is one too many things to juggle for your average non-gamer.
"stuck" is a bit strong of a term. 6 months ago I remember preferring to write even Python code myself because Copilot would get most things wrong. My most successful usage of Copilot was getting it to write CRUD and tests. These days, I can give Claude Sonnet in Cursor's agent mode a high-level Rust programming task (e.g. write a certain macro that would allow a user to define X) and it'll modify across my codebase, and generally the thing just works.

At current rate of progress, I really do think in another 6 months they'll be pretty good at tackling technical debt and overcomplication, at least in codebases that have good unit/integration test coverage or are written in very strongly typed languages with a type-friendly structure. (Of course, those usually aren't the codebases needing significant refactoring, but I think AIs are decent at writing unit tests against existing code too.)
It can only be automated if the only thing you care about is having the code/text, and not making sure they are correct.

> Given this code, extract all entities and create the database schema from these

Sometimes, the best representation for storing and loading data is not the best for manipulating it and vice-versa. Directly mapping code entities to database relations (assuming it's SQL) is a sure way to land yourself in trouble later.

> write documentation for these methods

The intent of documentation is to explain how to use something and the multiple why's behind an implementation. What is there can be done using a symbol explorer. Repeating what is obvious from the name of the function is not helpful. And hallucinating something that is not there is harmful.

> write test examples

Again the type of tests matters more than the amount. So unless you're sure that the test is correct and the test suite really ensure that the code is viable, it's all for naught.

...

Your use cases assume that the output is correct. And as the hallucination risk from LLM models is non-zero, such assumption is harmful.
Hoogle works because of how richly-typed Haskell is, but Erlang is dynamically-typed.
I'll bite. How do you serve 100x the traffic without 100x the costs? It costs something like 1e-10 dollars to serve a recipe page with a few photos, for example. If you serve it 100x more times, how does that not scale up?
the whole "not your jam" thing seems to be you retreating to meaninglessness. this isn't a debate about how a person should feel, it's a debate about how a government should act.
>Look at any other objective measurement. Percent of people living below the global poverty line adjusted for PPP. Median income, 25th percentile income.

HDI and Inequality adjusted HDI are not an objective measurement?
People don't strictly want to play games as much as they want to experience alternate realities. That's why Doom/Quake resonated. People want these simulations to be as realistic as possible.
Next, they'd switch to from Hollywood Accounting to Oilfield Accounting. Oh that wellhead is actually owned by this other company over there, we just purchased their product at a fair market rate while they were still in business, but now it seems that other company is going bankrupt and cannot do the environmental cleanup to even seal the wellhead, much less remove it.

How different languages and frameworks handle structured concurrency
I don't know what conspiracy you try to construct here, but it doesn't make sense. The new government would love to have a study which says that it didn't help, so they can cut it. They'd still want to cut it and it already got more expensive.

Also, this is a Meta-analysis. Here it is: https://ariadneprojekt.de/media/2025/04/Ariadne-Report_Deuts...

Try reading that before you start spreading such constructs.
Those situations aren't comparable. While I oppose bigoted behavior by US citizens, for better or worse they have an absolute and inviolable right to remain in this country. Aliens generally have no such right. Entering and remaining in the country is a privilege. I oppose arbitrary arrests and deportations conducted without due process, but in principle there's nothing wrong with holding aliens to a different standard than citizens.

From a political standpoint, why should US citizens pay taxes to educate people who are apparently hostile to our fundamental values?
No.

Ranitidine was pulled from US shelves. Indians sell it online. It's the real deal.

Alldaychemist is legit, but I've only bought dermatological/beauty stuff there.

I've even bought Modafinil from some US based website that shipped from India. Customs believed it was legit and seized a few shipments. One that got through didn't do shit but maybe it's just me.
Also that assumption is changing dramatically. Globally maybe 15 countries are on substantial upward trajectories that will last decades, similar to South Korea's transformation.

If you could travel to 2075 you're likely to find places like Vietnam and Nigeria rising economic stars.

People will be traveling around Africa in an HSR network https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_high-speed_rail_by_... to bustling metropolises in places like Kenya and Ethiopia.

South East Asian countries like Thailand and Malaysia will have valuable international companies.

The customers in Columbus Ohio won't really be relevant.
That quote almost perfectly describes o1, which was the first major model to explicitly build in compute time as a part of its scaling. (And despite claims of vagueness, I can't think of a single model release it describes better). The idea of a scratchpad was obvious, but no major chatbot had integrated it until then, because they were all focused on parameter scaling. o1 was released at the very end of 2024.
Without landlords we wouldn’t have a chunk of the housing supply held captive as investment, driving costs out of reach for most of the non-HN-reading audience.
Probably. But I think its only the beginning of them fucking around like this, so far its just reactions on tariffs, we haven't seen the real impact yet. And unless congress stops them they're not going to stop.
It's surprising how little media attention this got. Sketchy Chinese crypto billionaire notionally resident in Svalbard with six passports of convenience charters a space mission for funzies, and nobody even notices, much less digs into who this guy is. The closest is this softball interview by the Times of Malta, one of his six passports:

> Perhaps there would still be some niche whaling if not for the ban

There is still whaling. Iceland, Japan, Norway, North American indigenous peoples and the Danish dependencies of the Faroe Islands and Greenland continue to hunt in the 21st century.
Worse, Iceland, Japan and Norway still engage in and supporting commercial hunting.

I suppose one way to prevent the left from getting you fired from your job is by making yourself unhirable in the first place with these embarrassing displays.
>is there no company on earth, such that you wouldn't want them advertising on your forum?

Do they spread hate? Have they cast harm on members of the forum? Otherwise, I don't see the issue. Unless this is a blanket ban on defend contractors.

If it isn't, I simply see it as hypocritical. Especially since all the big FAANGs also all operate with the military in some capacity.
What are the things where multi-platform efforts did not succeed?
I had this experience years ago. The first place I ever rented in had Wi-Fi that didn’t work and after about a week the water stopped working. I cancelled my booking through support and the owner called me 3 or 4 times on WhatsApp and then left me a bad review. The second place had a shower that didn’t drain and the washing machine flooded the apartment one evening. The third place had black mold growing out of the kitchen ceiling. I tried to get them to waive the cleaning fee over it, but the owner claimed he had told me about it already and refused to do anything. When I left, he told me he had written me a good review and expected one in return. I pointed out that he had done nothing to remedy the mold issue and then posted my own review, and found that in his review he had accused me of bringing prostitutes and drugs into the apartment (which I did not).

It was nominally cheaper to travel this way, but for my next trip I’ll be staying in hotels.
> I hope Americans still have the faith they used to regarding Apple

Faith is a good word to use when discussing the true believers following the fruit factory. The company has been very successful in turning commercial transactions into quasi-religious ceremonies and managed to convince people that they can trust their judgement. Well, yes, you can certainly trust their judgement as long as you realise that their judgement revolves around profit maximisation. While this in itself does not need to be a problem is does become a problem when one half goes into the transaction based on faith with the other half being aware of this.

Don't be deluded, you can trust them just as much/little as you can trust other large vendors. If you like their products you can buy them but it does not make sense to 'trust their judgement' once supervision is lifted since it is not a question if they will abuse this trust but when and the answer is they already have, many times over. Every time they claim their products do not offer freedom of choice because of ${reasons} they abuse this trust because they fail to state that ${reasons} is a constant which is initialised as follows:

const reasons=profit_maximisation
Yeah, but they're cheap and basically trivial to use. Cheap enough and trivial enough that they can replace solenoids in a lot of use cases.

One of my most amusing applications was the client who put an R/C servo on the choke cable of a carbureted generator motor instead of spending more money to buy the fuel-injected version. Servo cost about $5 and we were already measuring air temperature and had a PWM output available.
One interesting thing about this repo is that the "Contributors" view shows "Copilot" as the #6 contributor: https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server/graphs/contribut...

It looks like that primarily comes from code review suggestions it's made on PRs, e.g., https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server/commit/031dd741a....
I'm always a bit saddened to see that a separate chip is the go-to method to interface with USB. Unfortunately USB is an incredibly-complex protocol that it seems anything beyond a basic V-USB running USB 1.1 at low-speed is generally not doable without specialized hardware and a significant software stack. Meanwhile a protocol like SPI is ridiculously simple...the minimum hardware needed is a shift register that can be clocked fast enough. I miss how desktop and labtops used to have an exposed serial and parallel port, which could communicate at this low level. I often wonder if instead of USB existing that we instead stuck with UART, I2C, or SPI multidrop (using a small set of standard clock rates) for simple peripherals (maybe over a single connector like the 4-pin JST SH cable for Stemma QT, Qwiic and Grove) over a short distance, and then jumped to IEEE 802.3 Ethernet links for data-heavy peripherals like monitors and external drives. Then instead of having to have separate support for USB and Ethernet, you just would support Ethernet links.

Adventure games didn't go anywhere. They're still popular with fans of the genre (Telltale, David Cage, etc.), and adventure elements are now part of other genres like Action-Adventure, RPGs, etc.
The Japan Rail Pass has gotten a price hike recently and now it feels like you have to keep chasing trains a lot to make it worthwhile. The regional passes are a bit better, but still require more moving around than I'm comfortable with for a vacation.

The Deutschlandticket is only valid for up to Reginald lines and not on faster trains like IC and ICE. It's already worth it money wise for the first trip already, but only using local connections adds at least an hour per trip between those cities, plus a bunch of layovers.
Such generosity. One whole thread during a month or so.

Edit: And this was where I was rate-limited.
No need to "think". These policies are all magnifying stagflation. Recession if not depression. There won't be anything to buy because America doesn't have much of a manufacturing supply chain, isn't willing to pay workers enough, and prices are rocketing to the moon such that Americans won't buy domestic or imported goods. Domestic producers, having less international competition, will raise prices leading to a massive similar price-profit contributing 60% of inflation post-pandemic in the K-shaped recovery. The soonest manufacturing could be setup in America is 3 years, but this is work American corporations don't want to pay workers fair wages for.
thank you, that was what I was asking about. I am genuinely out of the loop and don't know anything bout this NixOS forum.

It's hard for me not to be extremely cynical about the anti-Israel protests that happened. For one thing, a lot of people who favor them gloss over the illegal things done at them like break-ins, vandalism, trespassing, and illegal occupations.

But in general I think the case made by the pro-Palestinian side was that somehow universities bore responsibility for what Israel did because of vague investments in their endowments. I didn't think owning an ETF that held a weapons manufacturer or some Israeli company on the stock market was explicitly Zionist but this was the premise for protests. Why not protest the US or Israel directly? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

It felt like they were asking universities to explicitly be pro-Palestine which is a strange thing to ask for in America.
While I sympathize with the idea, an actual traitor could be doing even more harm. An actual traitor, for example, would have just flat-out canceled everything we're sending to Ukraine, and demanded everything we've given back.

As bad as this is (and it's very, very bad), it could be even worse.
What are you conflicted about? The op-eds written by these international students contained none of the things you mentioned that are supposedly not compatible with the US.

On the other hand, while the US is bombing civilians in Yemen, revoking womens' rights and moving towards persecuting lgbt people, it would seem that ironically the the US is exactly the jam for that. A perfect fit.
For dark mode i am just using firefox > settings > manage colors
+ forced same one font for every webpage + disabled usage of webfonts

High LCD backlighting level + dark mode with very dark red background & dark green font and you will be surprised that you can read in both outside and inside environment without changing theme. And you do not lose night vision capability. ( super secret trick from submarine )

I use same colors for KDE theme and for Firefox colors

For lowering brightness of pictures / videos i use extension Dark night mode which is little buggy with paywalls but otherwise works almost everywhere, even youtube.

KDE has Night Light mode but i need to not have red tint colors on pictures.

This is how that looks in practice : https://imgur.com/a/Ob3EhCm
> Many of the pro-Palestinian protesters are also Jewish

Nearly every person who claims to be jewish, when pushed turns out to be "jewish" it's essentially a strange version of blackface and fairly bigoted.
