41,804,202 | comment | potato3732842 | 2024-10-10T22:26:39 | null | It's never that cut and clear. They're usually going out of their way to create some situation that temps people who don't normally do that type of crime to do it.<p>The quintessential example is a bait car with the keys in it. Every real car theif walks right on by and after a week of it sitting there they nab some teenager with a weed dealing prior and then throw the book. Yeah, he did steal it but he probably wouldn't have if he didn't walk by it sitting there with the keys in it for an f-ing week. Frequently when it's "real crime" they're going after informants are involved and that often muddies the waters a lot since the informant is usually trying to get a break on some other charge. | null | null | 41,804,170 | 41,802,823 | null | [

41,804,205 | comment | tedd4u | 2024-10-10T22:27:04 | null | Anti-rationality and ignorance aren't new to the scene in the US. In 1980, Isaac Asimov wrote an essay titled "Cult of Ignorance." [1]<p><pre><code> “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and
there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism
has been a constant thread winding its way through our
political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion
that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as
your knowledge.'”

41,804,210 | comment | SolarNet | 2024-10-10T22:28:29 | null | From an ergonomics perspective big-endian <i>is</i> the little-endian of stack based machines. Register truncation is the big reason why from an ergonomics perspective we prefer little-endian, but in stack based machines the equivalent is pop truncation. But the behavior between these is reversed between the two machine types. Big endian is the layout by which pop-ing one byte off the stack gives you the truncated number. | null | null | 41,803,797 | 41,777,995 | null | [

41,804,213 | comment | somat | 2024-10-10T22:28:55 | null | A question about the shader cache. what is it?<p>My steam system is somewhat questionable. it is netbooted, everything is nfs. This... well, it sort of sucks, I would not recommend it. But I love having the "one good drive" my NAS and then using that for everything, I am patient So I am sticking with it. But the "rebuilding shader cache". what is it doing? why does it take so long? why does it do it every time a launch a game? why am I offered a choice to skip it? why do I not notice any difference if I skip it?<p>I have a 10G connection to my nas but things are still much slower than I think they should be. I think it is related to poor interaction between nfs and a lot of small files. Otherwise, linux and proton are working great for games. When running games on windows I used iscsi for my games, and that worked well, I should probably do that on linux but I like having a filesystem on the far side instead of an opaque block device so I thought I would try nfs.<p>There are some weird artifacts in the system, I have to start steam twice, The first time it fails to connect to the webhelper, once everything is cached, it starts faster and thus works the second time, the shader cache takes forever and a day to rebuild, I can manually empty it which helps the next rebuild, I suspect many small files, having to check and replace them one by one, but I don't know, nfs tuning is somewhat of a dark art. Steam does not get along with my favorite tiling window manger(spectrwm) so I thought I would try that other openbsd floating window manager(CWM), steam is happier, but still has a few artifacts with menus, I suspect the CWM zero sized borders are the cause.<p>Overall, The experience is much worse than on windows, but that is because I made it that way, and so I am much happier than when I am on windows. | null | null | 41,802,189 | 41,801,331 | null | [

41,804,226 | comment | iainmerrick | 2024-10-10T22:30:40 | null | This is quite a compelling story, but thinking about it, I don’t fully agree.<p>There’s more than one language that I initially disliked, and only learned to like after some of (what I saw as) the glaring flaws were fixed. After they added more features!<p>For one, Objective-C. I didn’t like it at all until they added ARC, removing the need for manual addRef / release everywhere. After that, coming to the language pretty late, I came to like Obj-C quite a lot.<p>JavaScript is another one. For a long time I thought it was an awful language and avoided using it, but a few things have brought me round and now I really like it:<p>- modules<p>- async/await<p>- TypeScript, if you’ll allow that as a “JavaScript feature”<p>I even quite like JS classes, although I could live without them.<p>Simplicity is good, but power and expressiveness are also good. | null | null | 41,803,818 | 41,787,041 | null | null | null | null |

You know of another investment that would return 11%, and also employ more people etc. If you had to immediately pay 20% of the $1000 in tax to switch to the better investment, it would take more than 20 years for the extra 1% to recover the cost, and then you might not do it. So instead you keep the original investment and in 20 years if you sell you would have (and owe tax on) ~$6700.<p>Whereas with a step up in basis, you could sell the investment immediately and invest the full $1000 (instead of $800) in the better investment. Then if you sell in 20 years you would have >$8000 and owe tax on >$7000. So both you <i>and</i> the government come out ahead when you sell in 20 years, to say nothing of the additional people you employed (and who themselves paid more taxes). Preventing that from happening is bad for everybody.<p>Notice also that this problem gets worse the higher you set the tax rate. | null | null | 41,794,356 | 41,780,569 | null | null | null | null |

So what about parents in those cases, aren't they having their part on the sick mentality of their child? Why not pressing charges to them?<p>Even assuming the premise of killing someone implies mental illness, and assuming the mental illness stems from trauma, there's a pretty large leap in reasoning here. Why must the trauma come during childhood? Why not in adulthood? Even in childhood, why does it have to come from the parents?<p>Then you have the idea of continuing up the causal chain. Why are we pressing charges to the parents? If the parent's traumatized their kids, there's good chance they did it due to their own mental illness/trauma, which means the parents themselves were abused in childhood. So we should go after their parents.... except that just means we should go after there parents.... ad infinitum. | null | null | 41,803,433 | 41,780,328 | null | null | null | null |

41,804,234 | comment | Arnavion | 2024-10-10T22:31:24 | null | Rust has a generic assert too `assert!(foo >= bar);`. I assume (haven't used the crate myself) the advantage of `assertable::assert_ge!(foo, bar)` is that it prints the values of foo and bar in the assert message. The `assert_eq!(foo, bar)` and `assert_ne!(foo, bar)` macros provided by Rust libstd also do this. But the generic `assert!()` just sees the boolean result of its expression and only prints that in its message.<p>The values of the variables can be included in the generic macro's message via a custom message format, like `assert!(foo >= bar, "foo = {foo}, bar = {bar}");` but having the macro do it by default is convenient. There is an old discussion to have the `assert!()` macro parse its expression to figure out what variables are there and print them out by default, but it's still WIP.

41,804,243 | comment | phil21 | 2024-10-10T22:32:27 | null | Honestly not really. Some of the older facilities took great care on site selection and some hardened building features, but modern sites are more based on power grid availability and are simply standard amazon distribution warehouse style buildings.<p>The redundancy is in having your data and infrastructure in multiple buildings and geographic locations.<p>This is due to a myriad of reasons but they all boil down to cost and practicality. The scale of modern facilities typically eclipses anything built 20 years ago by a huge margin which further limits site selection.<p>The days of AT&T long lines are long gone. Simply driving a standard SUV through the right wall or two in most facilities would be enough to cripple them for a long while, much less flooding or a direct hit by hurricane force winds.<p>Of course there are exceptions. | null | null | 41,802,681 | 41,801,970 | null | [

I set that up with exec_before and exec_after hooks in xdg-desktop-portal-wlr[0]. In addition to turning off my notification daemon (so my email/instant message notifications don't pop up), my exec_before/exec_after scripts just run:<p><pre><code> swaymsg output "MY-MONITOR" scale 2 # or 1 for exec_after
</code></pre>
With that, everything puffs up big and readable when I'm screensharing and seamlessly shrinks back down when I stop screen sharing. No need to juggle windows around to different displays.<p>[0] <a href="https://man.archlinux.org/man/extra/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr.5.en" rel="nofollow">https://man.archlinux.org/man/extra/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/x...</a> | null | null | 41,801,507 | 41,800,602 | null | null | null | null |

On the other hand, a concurrent hash table is an inelegant blob of shared mutable data, often a marker of a poorly architectured program."<p>I find the last bit particularly objectionable. If you're in some language slanging objects around all day, then sticking a untyped, bespoke substitute for an object probably isn't the right move. But on the long path down my programming career, I recognize objects make so many things harder and more confusing than necessary. I definitely prescribe to Rich Hickey saying I would rather have 1 data structure and 100 functions that operate on it far easier to work with and understand than 10 data structure and 10 functions. Clojure absolutely is a joy to work with and reason about, and it only gets better the faster you get out of typed object land. Hashmaps are the purest abstraction over an associative data structure, and I will take one over a pile of classes with brittle, snowflake interfaces any day. | null | null | 41,798,475 | 41,798,475 | null | null | null | null |

The "remember me" button does nothing these days.<p>I'm so tired of having my day constantly interrupted by expiring sessions. GitHub is my least favourite; I use it ~weekly, so my sessions always expire, and they forced me to use 2FA so I have to drag my phone out and punch in random numbers. Every single time.<p>As well as being terrible UX, though I have no evidence to back this up, I'm pretty sure this constant logging in fatigues users enough to where they stop paying attention. If you log into a site multiple times a week, it's easy for a phishing site to slip into your 60th login. Conversely if you've got an account that you never need to log into, it's going to feel really weird and heighten your awareness if it suddenly does ask for a password.<p>Regardless, companies should learn that everyone has a different risk appetite and security posture, and provide options.<p>Side-note, Github's constant session expiry & 2FA annoyed me so much that I moved to Gitea and disabled expiry. That was 90% of the reason I moved. It's only available on my network too, so if anything I feel I gained on security. Companies 100% can lose customers by having an inflexible security model. | null | null | 41,801,883 | 41,801,883 | null | [

I’ve been in these moments with people in my church, and I don’t think it is always about the doctors or healthcare providers withholding info. Sometimes, you are the tenth person they have seen in a short period of time, so they are trying to communicate as best as they can, as efficiently as they can. Having someone - doesn’t have to be religious to be clear - who has been in those rooms can be helpful. They can repeat what the doctor says, because it can be so frightening and hard to hear.<p>I have asked doctors and anesthesiologists to come back into the room and finish answering the questions. I know they are busy. But I know they want to put you at ease and give you all the info you need.<p>- What side effects can we expect from the medication?
- What alternatives are possible? What if the treatment doesn’t work?
- What is the prognosis - worst case and best case?
- How long will recovery be?
- When can family members/loved ones see them?
- Who will contact the family members during the procedure?
- How soon will the patient be up and about?
- Do you know the patients limits and directives - like no resuscitation?<p>More than once, I have helped the doctors hear something that they had missed, buried in all of those charts. More than once, I helped a friend or loved one gain some clarity on why the course of action is best or whether they want to explore something else.<p>Powerful story!

It is secure, but means the files are only decryptable on the client, so keys need to be shared manually. I guess security means extra hassle. | null | null | 41,798,359 | 41,798,359 | null | null | null | null |
41,804,286 | comment | Sohcahtoa82 | 2024-10-10T22:38:12 | null | I have English ivy around my house, which isn't quite as invasive as kudzu, but still a major nuisance.<p>Roundup does basically nothing. The leaves are thick and waxy and so don't absorb herbicide effectively. Supposedly, applying a more concentrated formula on a weekly basis for a month can work, but I don't like the idea of spraying that much glyphosate. | null | null | 41,803,726 | 41,780,229 | null | [

41,804,291 | story | sganesh | 2024-10-10T22:38:53 | Show HN: Build Apps via Voice | TiramAi - Beta - We have built an app that is now available both on App Store & Play Store that allows non-technical users to build web apps, mobile apps and logic apps as it seems fit by generating user stories and personas. Can be refined as many times. For web apps, the code gets generated in html, cs, JavaScript for the frontend and uses firebase as the db. For mobile app, flutter code gets generated and it takes us a day or so to get it out into test flight or beta testing, due to the app distribution hurdle. Logic apps use c# minimal api and gets deployed on Azure / Google. Exporting of User stories is behind a paywall. We are still fine tuning the code output for all the apps. You can provide feedback within the app as well by shaking the device. Any input / feedback / thoughts are appreciated. | https://www.tiram.ai | 6 | null | 41,804,291 | 0 | null | null | null |
