41,803,301 | comment | consteval | 2024-10-10T20:36:17 | null | The earlier movies like Iron Man were kind of okay plot-wise. Definitely sometimes I didn't fully connect with the character's motivations but it was fine. They've really gone downhill now I feel. Whatever little plot there is feels like it's treated as an afterthought. Things just kind of... happen. It makes the characters lose identity, I think. | null | null | 41,802,128 | 41,801,300 | null | null | null | null |

Use the technology to reduce your risk, but in the event that the bad event still happens the notification could save your life. | null | null | 41,800,290 | 41,799,324 | null | null | null | null |

41,803,306 | comment | everforward | 2024-10-10T20:36:24 | null | That is exactly dependency injection, the functions have to be embedded into a scope that has access to additional values because the framework doesn’t support passing them directly. The types are injected into the function by being embedded into another scope.<p>It’s not some kind of moral sin, but it is a kludge. The type system is now tied to the structure of your code, because scoping is now intrinsic to your types.<p>It’s not the end of the world, I’ve worked in similar systems, it just tends to have a heavy mental overhead at some point as you now have to keep scoping in mind as part of your types. | null | null | 41,800,309 | 41,764,163 | null | null | null | null |

41,803,311 | comment | mopsi | 2024-10-10T20:37:08 | null | No, it's not about Chechen independence <i>per se</i>. It's about the methods Russia used there - grainy smuggled VHS tapes showing extreme savagery against civilians on a massive scale. At least fifth of the entire population went through concentration camps.<p>This is simply not the way a modern country treats people, even in war.<p>Combined with the rhetoric about Russia deserving to rule over other nations (which you too demonstrate so clearly), it doesn't take much for people in Eastern Europe to put 1+1 together and run for whatever military alliance they can find.<p>I completely reject the notion that Russia has some inherent right to invade European countries and kill and enslave at their will.<p>If Russia was worried about national security as apologists claim, it would support EU and NATO memberships for its European neighbors - instead of desperately sabotaging such aspirations like in Ukraine. These organizations have produced the most peaceful, stable, reliable and predictable neighbors. | null | null | 41,800,312 | 41,765,734 | null | null | null | null |

41,803,315 | comment | randomdata | 2024-10-10T20:37:41 | null | Yes, you bring up a good point about the other practical issue with adopting Agile. It says that the developers and the business people need to work together daily, as becomes necessary when there isn't a manager to act as the go-between, but as you point out the business people in reality just want to play golf, not become shared participants in the development process.<p>But, again, Agile is pretty clear that it requires special people. It was never meant for everyone. To observe it in a light where it is applicable to all organizations violates its very existence. | null | null | 41,802,262 | 41,797,009 | null | null | null | null |

Nowadays, you can only apply a very limited subset of CSS properties to those styles, to avoid side-channel timing attacks and such.<p>This means you can display a banner to anybody who has a certain URL in their browser history, but you can't observe whether that banner actually shows up with JS or transmit that information to your server. | null | null | 41,802,919 | 41,799,068 | null | [

41,803,334 | comment | spease | 2024-10-10T20:39:32 | null | I can't speak for how C#; but in C++'s case, the issue is that there's a lot of programmers who <i>don't</i> keep up with the language that they're using. As a result, you get a few people pushing the language ahead, who are deeply involved in its future. And then the vast majority of people are still using C++03, and it's still taught the same way as it was ~20 years ago.<p>I think the only way to address what you're alluding to is to continually deprecate small parts of the language, so that upgrading is manageable for active codebases. And you probably have to be really aggressive about pushing this forward, because there will always be excuses about why you should hold back <i>just this one time</i> and this <i>one feature</i> is an exception that needs to be held back <i>just a little bit longer</i>.<p>But in the long run, if you don't force people to change a little bit continuously, it will become a big enough issue to split the ecosystem. See python2 to python3. Or you end up forced into supporting bad practices for all eternity, like C++. And having to take them into account for every. Single. New. Feature.<p>Further raising the barrier to entry to participation in developing the language to people who are completely focused on its development and have unusual mastery of it, who can't identify with the people struggling with its complexity.<p>If not at the technical level, then at the business level, where people <i>definitely</i> don't have the time to understand why it'd be safer for the go-to heap allocation method should return a scoped pointer instead of a raw pointer.<p>Unfortunately, this probably is only viable for strongly-typed languages like C#; for loosely-typed languages like Python, the risk of iterative changes is that if someone moves a codebase several generations ahead at once, it'll introduce lots of subtle changes that'll only become obvious once certain codepaths are exercised...and given how bad testing coverage is for a lot of software, that probably risks breakages only occurring once it's deployed, that are nontrivial to discern via reviews or even static analysis. | null | null | 41,803,137 | 41,787,041 | null | null | null | null |

I don't think the draw for me to see a film again in the theater is the fact that there will be an intro discussion on it. That just seems like pure marketing to give a value-add to the experience, but I doubt most people going are there for that. | null | null | 41,801,787 | 41,801,300 | null | null | null | null |
41,803,347 | comment | aguaviva | 2024-10-10T20:41:09 | null | I guess if you're a fan of carnage and mayhem like this, then that's the sort of thing you're a fan of.<p><pre><code> On Sept. 17, just before 3:30 p.m., the small waiting room of Dr. Nour’s three-room pediatrics clinic in southern Beirut was packed. A mother was waiting to get preschool checkups for her three children. Two elderly patients were booked in for cataract treatments at the ophthalmologist office next door. Sitting next to them was a young couple whom Nour, whose name has been changed for security reasons, had not met before. The father bounced a 10-day-old baby on his lap. Clipped to his belt was a Gold Apollo Rugged Pager.
Nour brought the young couple into her examination room. She pulled out a blank file for the newborn and wrote his name: Aiman. She placed him on the scales: a little over 7 pounds. She lay Aiman on his back on an examination table and began to record his weight. As she did so, the man’s pager beeped twice.
“Excuse me,” he said, and reached down to silence it.
As he did so, about an ounce of explosives concealed within the pager detonated, sending shards of metal and fragments of its thick plastic casing out in all directions. The shrapnel tore deep wounds in the man’s abdomen, lodged in the ceiling of the clinic and lacerated the face of the baby as he lay on his back. Nour was thrown backward as the room filled with dust. She could not see through the smoke, but she could hear the woman’s voice shouting: “Aiman!”
Nour did not know that scenes like these were being repeated all over Lebanon. Simultaneously, some 4,000 booby-trapped pagers that had been handed out to members of Hezbollah began beeping and then exploded. In shops, in houses and on sidewalks across the country, pagers blasted their users as well as anyone in their vicinity with small clouds of shrapnel.

The M1 has hardware tessellation, but it is too limited for DirectX, Vulkan, or OpenGL. We must instead tessellate with arcane compute shaders<p>> Geometry shaders are an older, cruder method to generate geometry. Like tessellation, the M1 lacks geometry shader hardware so we emulate with compute.<p>Is this potentially a part of why Apple doesn't want to support Vulkan themselves? Because they don't want to implement common Vulkan features in hardware, which leads to less than ideal performance?<p>(I realize performance is still relatively fast in practice, which is awesome!) | null | null | 41,799,068 | 41,799,068 | null | [

41,803,360 | comment | alexjplant | 2024-10-10T20:42:07 | null | I saw the band Failure live two years ago a few blocks from where I live. The lights went down shortly after we arrived and a video started playing on the projector wall at the back of the stage. It was a series of interview clips with musicians talking about the band we came to see: how transcendentally amazing Failure was, how incredible the sonic textures on "Fantastic Planet" were, how Ken Andrews is an unappreciated genius, etc. I thought that it would be interrupted after maybe 90 seconds by a loud guitar to kick the show off, but nope - we got to hear Hayley Williams and that Zonie vintner guy who sometimes sings for Tool gush about the band that we were waiting to see for _30 minutes straight_.<p>At one point I checked my receipt to make sure that we didn't accidentally get tickets to some sort of virtual experience or pre-release screening instead of a concert. The video eventually ended, the band came on, and they gave a great performance. I left feeling more confused than anything; the rest of the crowd's reaction ran the gamut from impassioned to dismissive.<p>If the art you're putting on display already has a cult following I don't see the need to drive the point home via these weird metatextual commentaries. I'm a weirdo that likes watching movies with crew commentary but I like to do that in my living room, not in a theater. | null | null | 41,802,245 | 41,801,300 | null | null | null | null |

To this day you can still find plaintext walkthroughs for thousands of games, written 25 years ago by pseudonymous authors.<p>Which isn't exactly to dispute your point, just waxing nostalgic about the good ol' days.

41,803,375 | comment | Yizahi | 2024-10-10T20:43:32 | null | First of all there are whole genres which don't make sense with spoilers. Second, there are "normal" typical movies of different genres which can incorporate plot twist to make a much heavier impact. For example kids fantasy movie Bridge to Terabithia, which even spawned some memes about child slave labor, because they went 100% in role. Sure, it's not worse now that I know the plot and it's not even the main point of it (as you correctly say), but initial impact was influenced a lot by watching it blind. Or the more recent firefighter movie Only the Brave which I randomly stumbled upon without knowing nothing about the basis of it, also made a huge impact. And again, it wasn't the point of the movie, but it made it much more impactful.<p>This is all my personal opinion of course. | null | null | 41,802,798 | 41,801,300 | null | null | null | null |

41,803,379 | comment | SubiculumCode | 2024-10-10T20:43:51 | null | Its a piss poor article that was written to vent, but it didn't try very hard to find good psychological research. Episodic memory psychological literature is very strong, IMO, yet never gets brought up in these kinds of articles. Its always the fluffy puffy research that fuels tabloid headlines, not the research that shows, for example, differential patterns of memory strategies over child development, or the contributions of context to recognition memory, the differences between recollection and familiarity processes supporting recognition memory..you know, all the stuff that is not flashy for tabloids, but is real psychological science.
Dr. Charan Ranganath was a member of my dissertation committee who recently wrote a wonderful book about memory and gave some really fantastic interviews. For example, on Fresh Air: <a href="https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1233900923" rel="nofollow">https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1233900923</a>
Now yes, some of this is informed by neuroimaging and neuroscience spanning human and animal models, but also lots and lots of behavioral memory research. And the findings that are discussed are pretty reliable, shown over and over again in different ways. So, no, this article is not great. It did not do diligent research. Its a rant that focuses on specific types of research that is a small majority of the REAL field. | null | null | 41,803,143 | 41,780,328 | null | null | null | null |

It's probably safe to compare this to our current advertising system, which deliberately makes people feel miserable about various aspects of their appearance and social status with the goal of convincing them that buying some product or other will fix their lives - and it's especially damaging when developing children and teenagers are the targets.<p>The fact that capitalist consumer society norms are as much as source of mental illness in modern populations as the filthy open sewers of old European cities were of infectious disease is a concept I suspect today's corporatized academic institutions will have a hard time accepting.<p>A further issue is that currently illegal psychedelic drugs show more potential for understanding and treating a wide variety of mental illness conditions under controlled conditions than any of the widely prescribed antidepressants do, and yet most governments are rigidly opposed to their legalization. | null | null | 41,780,328 | 41,780,328 | null | null | null | null |

41,803,389 | comment | autoexec | 2024-10-10T20:44:33 | null | the lack of integrity and accountability really has eroded trust in critical institutions society depends on. I can't blame people for being skeptical in science when anyone can see that scientists are routinely paid by corporations to to produce whatever results they want, and that you can pay to get even obvious garbage published in peer reviewed journals. The flat-earthers are wrong about the shape of the planet, the creationists are still wrong about evolution, but they're right that what passes for science these days is full of lies and can't be trusted.<p>I feel a degree of sympathy for antivaxxers for the same reason. Pharmaceutical companies get away with literal murder, the makers of medical devices are serial killers, and doctors are taking kickbacks to overprescribe dangerous medications. Even the CDC cares more about politics than the truth. The antivaxxers are still wrong about vaccines, but they're right that the medical industry can't be trusted.<p>When government waste and corruption goes unchecked people lose faith in the government. When the police are criminals, judges take kickbacks to send children into private prisons, and corrupt prosecutors go unpunished people lose faith in the justice system.<p>Resentment, distrust, fear, and uncertainty are just natural and appropriate responses to what's going on around us. Even if drastic action was taken today to increase accountability and transparency to fight the corruption and greed undermining people's faith in these institutions it would still take decades to restore the trust that's been lost and realistically, I don't see any kind of drastic action being taken to fix the problem any time soon, so I expect things to get a lot worse before they get better. | null | null | 41,801,683 | 41,801,271 | null | null | null | null |
41,803,390 | comment | buildsjets | 2024-10-10T20:44:40 | null | Goody for you - but I am stuck with a 512GB drive on a 2024 issued laptop (small capacity due to dAtA s3curiTy or some silliness, the defense industry is full of nonsense like that). I currently have 90.4 GB available, so this update would be consuming 10% of my available storage. | null | null | 41,803,323 | 41,802,912 | null | [

41,803,392 | comment | rootusrootus | 2024-10-10T20:44:47 | null | Great video, lots of nice details. Now I wonder what technology our local light rail train is using, because I've noticed the gear switch sound (though it just has a single switch at perhaps 10-15 mph or so). Apparently it's a Siemens S70 (there are several varieties of rolling stock, but this is the one that makes the most distinctive sounds). | null | null | 41,757,808 | 41,757,808 | null | null | null | null |

41,803,394 | comment | toyg | 2024-10-10T20:44:57 | null | Technically, the current <i>Pontifex Maximus</i> is (or at least claims to be) the official inheritor of the original title (which is very likely to pre-date the creation of the surname Caesar in the Julia family).<p>That's not the case for "senator", which turned into a generic word and it's not directly connected to the Senate of the Roman Republic. | null | null | 41,800,420 | 41,798,027 | null | null | null | null |
41,803,395 | comment | sabarn01 | 2024-10-10T20:45:22 | null | I hate working at home. I have 20 years of going into an office. I need the separation or I just work ineffectively for a lot longer. I'm Dyslexic and choose teams that didn't work remote because I don't like Async communication. For lots of people the structure of going into work makes them more effective. All these think pieces should just stop and let people vote with their feet. | null | null | 41,802,378 | 41,802,378 | null | null | null | null |

41,803,397 | comment | nikeee | 2024-10-10T20:45:28 | null | When reading the proposal title, I thought that this is for interop with WASM. Having fixed-size structs where every field has a wasm-related type would be beautiful for interop. Just a wasm function can just return or receive an instance of a typed struct. No more reading the result using a DataView or something like that. We have to use something like BufferBackedObject for that. | null | null | 41,787,041 | 41,787,041 | null | null | null | null |
