I mean you’re definitely misquoting and removing context from what people have said; Kamala Harris only says the BLM protests will keep happening and that they shouldn’t stop. Pelosi in that clip you used was talking about protesting Trump locking up children in cages, not BLM. The reason why your claims are so weak is that you cannot actually provide evidence that isn’t out of context quotes, whereas your side, Trump, has constantly tried to race bait and behave like an arsehole to people. Do I need to provide a list?
> 50% of everyone who voted MAGA, twice

50% of everyone didn’t note MAGA, either time, much less twice.

Heck, more than 50% of those who bothered to vote didn’t vote MAGA, either time.

Github pages is still software, running on a server
Why is that so bad? Shareholders are the owners of the company.
Not quite though. A browser back then was not the same as it is now. Videos required flash that was bloaty even back then. Javascript was a lot more basic. PDF viewing? Needed Adobe reader. And don't forget pages themselves were way lighter in terms of content.

I agree software is bloated. But this was also a common complaint in the time of Windows 95 compared to 3.1 :)
Trump - and his supporters - are the "they". They are the monsters here. They are the ones invading capitols. They are the ones emboldening white supremacists, racists and fascists. They are the one demanding to overturn the legitimate outcome of a democratic election.

It's an insult to the millions and millions who died during WWII to corrupt the message behind this famous poem/statement and insinuate that Trump and his supporters are the victims here. They are not the victims. They are the problem. And they need to be crushed.

I understood the point was these was not "one particular attempt" but rather a larger set of attempted reproductions, have I misread?
I doubt it is possible to determine the exact version, or even the browser (though the accept headers might leak it), without JavaScript. Thus NoScript fixes that problem.

You are right that this gives more information to a determined person, but anyone who pushes fingerprinting to the point of detecting a user’s browser version and other characteristics through JavaScript will certainly be able to identify you uniquely anyway. In such a case, it doesn’t matter than this person has more or less information, since he can already identify you; and having a generic user agent makes people who only look at it know less about you.
> Alternative hypotheses for unhealthy eating and obesity

Where is the hypothesis that states of hunger and states of anxiety are "signaled through the same mechanisms" (sorry, no time to locate all the long names) and, that the state which in other languages is called "being full" is gives "relief" from anxiety and stress. In other words, overeating is just a misuse of food as an answer to increased stress.

Binge eating is not like binge drinking of a stupid youth, it is like "aged" alcoholism of "staying stable" with a glass in each two hours. And it is much closer to tobacco smoking than to drug abuse (there is a nice course "Drugs and Brain" on coursera, btw).

Sometimes I wish I could be one of these "meme"-scientists claiming that they have found oversimplified single cause (it is microbes, like fly, stupid!) for a vastly complex, multiple-causation phenomena. Of course, microbes have some influence over host's eating behavior, via described neuro-chemical feed-back loops, but of course this is not a "single" or even the "most powerful" cause.

"Change of social norms" was a good insight - now it is OK to live this way.
This is the #1 problem I have moving from SVN to Git. With SVN, everything is just in one repo. I can atomically commit to multiple related projects. If i split up projects into individual Git repos, everything is suddenly more complicated. Keeping dozens of projects in the same Git repo avoids this problem, but now developers are forced to clone projects they don't use.

I'm a Git novice, maybe managing submodules isn't as bad as it seems to me or the author of this article. What is your experience?
I hate capacitive screens. They're great for tablets, but overly limiting on phones with small screens - especially "hacker-oriented" ones.

I used to code using on-screen keyboard with fingernails on my old Neo Freerunner. It maybe wasn't the greatest programming experience ever, but it worked for me and I had some great debugging sessions while in tram :) I can't imagine doing that if Freerunner had capacitive screen - even if there wouldn't be a bezel around the screen anymore.

People seem to hate resistive screens based on their experiences with poor ones (which is understandable, as most of them are pretty poor). However, a good one is a real pleasure to use, and I find the one used in N900 a good one.
Are there any creative tools that would make use of quadratic Bezier curves? While cubic Beziers are easier to tweak, it is much easier to draw smooth shapes with quadratic Beziers. They seem to be also easier to implement (only one control point), not sure why major vector and pixel graphics editors don't support them.

Ideally I would prefer to have an option to draw paths with either quadratic or cubic Bezier segments, but edit paths normalised to cubic Bezier segments.
Also it is not just making a game engine but you also have to build some kind of a editor, script/animation tooling, plug-in support, etc.

Basically if you are big enough that you can make your own engine the engine also has to be usable by non programmers making the actual content for your game.
You only pay for Unity if you already have >100K in annual revenue.
Sorry, I've also just learned from a Stanford CS professor friend of mine and haven't found other sources. But it's sadly true from what it looks like.
I think he said that he views it as a moral issue and he doesn't believe he should be compelled by the government to directly provide a public service, or something to that effect. And although I have to take him at face value, my initial impression was that it was a case of the risk-logic that is required to do VC: betting heavy on a high value longshot. If we wins the property is even more valuable due to the privacy element and because he has shown how costly it was to achieve. If he loses he just takes his beating and moves on.
“ We have benefited I think, and we've had opportunities to invest and sell into those markets we wouldn't have otherwise had.”

Is tweaking your emacs config play? Or is it work?

When I was younger, it felt more like play. In my late 20's it became work.
It is simple. What other editor lets you take anything from here:

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CopyingWholeLines#toc3

and then just eval it to get new functionality? And the various implementations I linked to here are trivial to figure out and write yourself with even the most passing familiarity with Emacs Lisp. Even if you're a complete newcomer to the language, Emacs is self-documenting and can teach you everything from inside the editor.
Well, I meant something with more freedom of styling, not just some established light and dark theme. Like change the colors of system-wide buttons, text inputs, window title-bars, tabs, etc. Change the system-wide accenting color to Red, Blue, Green, Gold, etc.
I couldn’t help but notice this on the Burger King website in the page for the impossible whopper:

So looks like that’s their answer.
I'm older and I strongly prefer light mode. Dark mode irritates me in part because it's harder for me to read and in part because it depresses me.
The idea is not that everything need to be static - some contents are by nature updated too fast, or too often, to be static. Still, there's lot of page that could be pre generated since the content of the datastore itself is not evolving a lot.
Most blog could use a static blog generator for example, with the comment being the only dynamic part - and a lot of cms page too ! Pre baking stuff is so much easier, faster, and cleaner.

The original essay's point was to say that people over-weigh the pros, that there are cons, and that some of those cons have considerable real-world significance.

It wasn't to say that there are no pros. It wasn't to provide a balanced analysis of all the pros and cons. It had a specific point, it made it, and it acknowledged that the point wasn't universal.

This new essay misinterprets the point in order to set itself up as a more realistic viewpoint, when in fact it's arguing against a straw interpretation of the original essay.

Yes, fault-tolerance can be really important. And sometimes not. Such a discussion is orthogonal the point of the original. A single node is quite reliable. There are many ways to get redundancy on top of that. For the same price as a Hadoop cluster, you could buy a machine with more reliable hardware, plus a hot backup, plus a load balancer. This may be all that's needed.

If you need 100 machines then you are still in the realm where you "really need distributed processing", which was one of the times where the original essay said that Hadoop could be the right solution.

If you have 100 machines, and the single node can go 200x faster, then you really only need 1 machine.

As a current Waterloo eng student, I fully endorse this student. I've had the unique chance to hire students and I've seen both very bright and very substandard people from the likes of Stanford and Waterloo. It's about how well the individual applies himself, more than the school. This is especially true in Canada where almost all accredited universities are on par with each other in terms of teaching standards.

> I think the parties that would suffer most would be the companies that have specialized in providing and generating targeted advertising

I don't think they would be hurt that much, they would still provide advertisement, just less. The small niche company is the one that will be hurt... they now will compete in every category which is going to be much more expensive than small niche categories.

If anything, it sound like remove targetting will make much more money for Google. The one paying higher CPM will increase the CPM for everyone instead of his niche.
A tangent, but what about typesetting and typefaces for music sheets - anything like TeX for written music?

"One of the things that makes it more desirable to use operators rather than named functions is that due to type classes, the meaning of the operators will change with what context they're being used in."

I don't understand what distinction you're making here. Named functions can also be members of typeclasses (and frequently are - return, mempty...)
best troll ever
> Putting aside Zed's abrasiveness, is this just a miscommunication around whether unqualified (to write crypto) developers should attempt to write crypto code at all, versus whether they should publish/use said work in production? I'd argue that it's perfectly reasonable for unqualified devs to write crypto code... as long as that code never reaches a production server.

You might be very interested in the previous post (the one Zed mentioned when he tried to shame me for at the beginning of this exchange): https://soatok.blog/2021/02/09/crackpot-cryptography-and-sec...
You can use docker-compose with podman.

Through it has similar drawbacks as using docker-compose with docker.

As far as I know there is currently no rootless way on Linux to setup custom internal networks like docker compose does (hence why podman-compose doesn't support such things).
I agree, there was a nice article in the economist about this concept (bitcoin as a store of value) [0]. More specialized than gold, investors have realized that bitcoin acts as a great hedge on uncertainty. When the market is uncertain to it's future (initial lockdowns for example) bitcoin goes up. It also goes up for less direct reasons (at least that I'm aware of). This makes it a less than ideal traditional store of value, but as a slice of a portfolio it is a nice asset due to the potential upside.

Yes, you've absolutely summed it up. The blog post about Zed's ego is a massive overreaction and also probably a bruised ego. Zed gets accused of gatekeeping when the author themselves was gatekeeping at the start. There's lots of projection going on here.

I too suffer from this, and am looking for a sustainable way out. This must be how obese people feel about their weight. If anyone else has solutions please post away. Strangely, the solution that's made the biggest difference in outside-work lifestyle for me is writing tests before code at work. More tests means less debugging, which means less stress. Most of my relapses happen after a stressful day of debugging under deadline.

Articles like this seem to have a misplaced emphasis. Rather than soothingly anyone's fear about entrepreneurhood, starting a business should only be "sold" in the way the marines sell themselves - "the few, the proud...".

At least in the US where the entrepreneurial spirit is very much celebrated, there are probably many more people who want to start a business who shouldn't than there are people who should start a business and are afraid. Each of the fears listed in the article is absolutely justified for some people.

Starting a business involves investing a lot of time and/or money. While money is something you can always earn back, a person only has certain amount of time in their life. You could be advancing your career and/or on a real vacation in time you spend on a business that fails. If you're 30 and business takes ten years to "try", are you willing to "be a failure" at 40? Ask yourself that now.

It's not a matter a matter of X things that stop a person who would otherwise do just great in business. It's a matter of X things that a person needs before they can reasonably contemplate beginning a business. Skills: reasonably organized, pro-active, self-motivated, persuasive, willing to fail again and again. Just having some of the skills and vague entrepreneurial bent is not enough...
Fitt's law! I was going to write about that in my post, but I forgot! Because of the bezel on the IdeaPad I was using, Fitt's Law was turned on it's head: The closer a UI element was to the sides of the screen - scrollbars, close buttons, start button - the harder they were to use! My fingers just couldn't jam into the tiny space needed to get to the UI widget. At one point, I tried hiding the task-bar, and then couldn't activate it again because it only stuck up on the bottom like 3 or 4 pixels high. :-)

Of course, this will go away once all touch-screens are flush with their frame, but it's an amusing side-effect to note.

LOL, come to Germany where you're by default priced out of buying any house period unless you get some sizable assistance from the bank of mom and dad.

It's normal if you've won the lottery of birth. If not, then, as someone else here said it, "get richer parents".
Easy - just define a the lack of a feature as a bug when it's convenient to do so.
Intuitively I'd guess that they're very different audiences. I'm sort of near the type of person who would shell out for ease-of-use stuff like the same theme across editors, but also the type of person who would even want that.

I suspect a person similar to me would also pay a bunch of bucks for, say, a screen arrangement app for MacOS, or a way to more quickly pair AirPods (ToothFairy).

It's a type of user that has no problem paying for convenience, I suppose?

That said, $79 is too steep for me to pay for a set of themes, even though I do really like this one.

"All of the "responsibilities" you list are things you take upon yourself."

Uh, food and medicine were in that list, so... no. If your argument is that people don't need to work because everything that requires money is an optional obligation that they're choosing to take on, you're wrong. And as someone who's running my own business, the idea that someone with no resources who is struggling to pay for food and rent can start one is a stretch to say the least.
