From what I can remember, the overseeing bodies (whatever they are) are not convinced that requiring helmets would reduce serious incident rates, and in fact convinced that this would decrease overall bike ridership. I'd speculate that

If you squint hard enough, this is an implementation of a higher order garbage collection: MarkNothingAndSweepEverything. There, formalized the approach, so you can't call it terrible anymore.

He caveats this in the post, so he's not really dichotomizing. IIUC, he implores educators to optimize for productive "workout" rather than fun. From my point of view, "workouts" must be rewarding on average, but ne

They don't claim it's clearer than jQuery. The pitch, as I understand it: if you only need a few of those operations, it may be better to forego adding jQuery dependency.

That's a neat vulnerability chain and a great writeup. Appreciated the breakdown of the vulnerable code as well! I'm always impressed by the simplicity of tricks like "Press F12 to try again", this is just so naughty :)

Interesting, though wouldn't playback require a preinstalled codec in this case?

Can't help but reminisce and think how wild those times were! Running a random executable downloaded over plain http/ftp just to play a song :exploding_head:. Surprised there wasn't an MP3 to MS Office macros converter :D

In the 5 or so videos I watched they were all rescued! The app seems to be timing your response relative to response of a lifeguard: negative seconds if you noticed before a lifeguard jumps into the water, otherwise positive.

Not GP, but when I looked at the examples, I thought that those already look pretty useable in comic book-like storytelling to set the mood. I.e. in settings where smaller details of the scene are not relevant and are not taking away from t

Are all these companies still as successful in alternative universes where BVP did invest in them? I guess in part it depends on whether BVP just gets on the cap table and stays the f out of the company direction :D

> And why is palette not palette bar? My guess that's because palette, the real world object, is something close to a bar itself, so it would be a bit of tautology. From the dictionary: Palette: a thin board or slab on which an arti

I'm slightly skeptical as to whether these are the only (big) things that made researchers at the Xerox PARC so successful. Doesn't societal, economic and political environment play a big role? (e.g. housing costs) On another note

There are a lot of people in the EU and other countries that don't need visas, so I'm not sure that's the right dial to use.

Yep, exactly my thought. Start raising prices (via taxes or touristic accommodation quotas or whatever) and find that goldilocks zone balancing revenue and pressure on the environment/locals.

I'm not very involved in the broader topic, but isn't the shortage of hardware for AI-related workloads intense enough so as to grant them the benefit of the doubt?

Ok, it seems you had a different angle in mind. > Swiss arms industry is having same problem, but there it is stemming from neutrality of Swiss government. This is interesting. Any good references to read up on the topic?

Are you referring to Trump's rhetoric? I think that would "only" affect the broader foreign policy. My take is that arms trade is a good business (my assumption) and unprincipled foreign policy could see more indiscriminate t

It took a second for me because I'm accustomed to people talking about Assets and Liabilities to describe the picture, so the equation in my head is the inverted one: Capital = Assets - Liabilities. I can imagine GP had a similar confu

The title of the article is: "As the mayor of Amsterdam, I can see the Netherlands risks becoming a narco-state" The title of the submission is my attempt to de-clickbait it.

And it also looks like quite a feat of journalistic integrity to publish a piece (presumably) without confirming the accuracy of it with the main figure in it.

Very insightful read, thanks for sharing! I remember many cases when I was cherry-picking things on a slightly changed (with overlaps) HEAD and it just worked. So I had this intuition that it's smarter than a flat patch, but had no ide

I think both commenters said those things in jest referring to the oft occurring on HN criticism that everything has to run on k8s nowadays, even a simple website.
