I think I know what you mean. Your comments remind me if an excerpt from a Situationist work, The Revolution of Everyday Life (by Raoul Vaneigem):

"an obscene hobbling rhythm. In the ebb and flow of the crowds sucked in and crushed together by the coming and going of suburban trains, and coughed out into streets, offices, factories, there is nothing but timid retreats, brutal attacks, smirking faces and scratches delivered for no apparent reason. Soured by unwanted encounters, wine turns to vinegar in the mouth. Innocent and good-natured crowds? What a laugh! Look how they bristle up, threaten on every side, clumsy and embarrassed in the enemy's territory, far, very far from themselves. Lacking knives, they learn to use their elbows and their eyes."

> As the article says, climate change won't destroy human civilization.

It's likely climate change itself won't destroy human civilization. Food shortages, massive wildfires (which climate change contribute to), rising sea levels, and changing weather patterns will have huge and unpredictable effects on global politics. What the downstream effects of those changes will be is extremely hard to predict, but the chances of a nightmare outcome are far greater than the chances civilization will remain largely unchanged over the next 20-30 years.

The good news is the most likely scenario is things will just keep getting shittier slowly and we'll avoid any sort of apocalypse. We'll just leave our grandkids a super-shitty world. Yay Us!

There’s a reason selling organs is illegal in most countries, otherwise people end up cornered into a position where they have no other choice.

Regulation doesn’t work (or doesn’t want to work, see the GDPR), the only thing left is guerilla tactics like poisoning the data so the ad-tech scum can’t tell whether they’re being lied to or are getting real data, putting in question the integrity of their entire database and them out of business.
You can add them to your favorite page in HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/favorites?id=juan4thewin

A feature I miss is to be able to sort them, or classify them as supersuperuperfavorite / superfavorite / favorite, or something like that. I'm not sure how is the best method.
You can't argue that its not getting results, though.
You've missed my point; LuaJIT can be quite a bit faster than v8, despite the amount of money being invested in it being a tiny fraction of what's put into v8. Therefore, we can conclude that v8's speed is not simply a function of money, but that there may be other variables involved, such as "complexity of language".

I'm not attacking v8 here. I'm simply pointing out that there are VMs for interpreted languages which run faster than v8, which isn't to say "v8 is bad", but rather "different languages inherently have different performance profiles".

At the risk of sounding like I'm doubting you, I honestly think you have no idea what you're talking about.
People don't like to publish much while they're still smarting from losing large amounts of "money". It helps that Bitcoin wasn't just an asset, it was an ideology: that the deflationary shrinking-resource represented by coin mining was necessarily valuable. People don't like questioning ideologies like that: it threatens their entire sense of how the world can be a good place at all, it feels from the inside like a nihilistic pit of darkness.
Unfortunately, it also broke everything else. :)
The author's logic follows, the only problem is he's picked the wrong term. His argument is against using javascript and/or data-/ng- attributes to bind default data to a template. Wasted power and cpu cycles. I think we can all agree that premise is true. However, templating with binding is all about savings in bandwidth, memory, and http requests. It also keeps complexity down when done right.

So yes, quit using various unnecessary means of supplying binding references to the DOM and serve & send your HTTP correctly. But none of youo ever will.
AI guys had this notion that words of a human language act as pointers to "inner representation" of some "concept of the mind".

It is not a coincidence that Lisp was the language of early AI. They believed that this set of features is good-enough to "program" intelligence.

The intention of my comment was to show that there is nothing much to talk about, especially there is no "mysticism" or "that special attitude".
"I work problems in it just because it is a craving - I simply have to solve it. Sadly, society doesn't pay for this sort of addiction."

I think you have to work on something that interests you and develop around it. You will probably easily be able to get something simple running, but then you will have troubles in some small details, that will make you learn new things.

And try to do it all by yourself, so you will be pushed out of your comfort zone faster, and have to deal with things you don't deal with at your work place.
If you want to overclock a CPU, you need a decent power supply. If you want to overclock a brain, you need a decent heart and lungs. The point of cardio is to improve your body's power delivery, so it's one of the more accessible human upgrades.

For me, the biggest blocker was that I perceived sweating as a bad thing to avoid, until I realized that I could buy clothes to sweat in, and shower at arbitrary times, not just in the morning.
it usually works out of the box but the swap won't be encrypted. that may or may not be what you want. a proper solution with random generated key to encrypt swap takes some extra steps:

I didn't downvote, but it's a low-effort comment that doesn't really add anything to the discussion. There is no information, no argument, no widening of context, no additional perspective, nothing. It also isn't an acknowledgement-type reply like "I see" ending a discussion. In other words, it decreases signal-to-noise ratio. You can compare it to "congrats" email chains at corps.

EDIT: It would be ok in a live discussion. But on a forum, not so much.

I can honestly say that Eric is 100% right with his approach. It always leads to less headaches, more flexibility (oh trust me, someone is always gonna have a "but... there's like a special thing that I sometimes have to do" and it breaks some assumptions.

In any case... yeah... let's just say any time you have to be worried "did we already schedule this", really think "can this never care if it was or not? Should be always safe to schedule it again"
Go read about stun.

You send outgoing packets simultaneously from both sides. Causing both sides to add nat translation entry’s to their nat tables. When the packets arrive both sides already have nat translation entries and the packets go right through the nat.
"Six registers are not very much, but this restriction was forced by the need to target CISC architectures which, like the x86, are poor of registers; anyway, backends can specify the actual number of available registers with the calls JIT_R_NUM (for caller-save registers) and JIT_V_NUM (for callee-save registers)." (https://www.gnu.org/software/lightning/manual/lightning.html...)

There used to be a boardly similar library called libjit https://www.gnu.org/software/libjit/ which was slightly higher level: It offered an arbitrary number of virtual registers. It took care of register allocation, I don't recall how sophisticated it was. The docs call it "global" allocation, i.e., taking the whole function into account at once, as opposed to local allocation that considers blocks in isolation.
That's just accounting. In the end, the renter either effectively pays the tax or the property becomes unavailable for renting, because the rental income either covers the taxes and other expenses or it doesn't.

This is important to understand because "well let's just raise taxes on rental properties" can sound really emotionally appealing to stick it to those nasty landlords, but the landlords aren't the ones who end up with the real bill in the real world. Oh, you might also as a side-effect reduce the landlord's wealth by essentially raising transaction costs, but, well, that's a plan firmly from the stupid quadrant: http://harmful.cat-v.org/people/basic-laws-of-human-stupidit...

Unfortunately, rather a lot of plans for addressing inequality strike me as coming from the "stupid" quadrant in practice... which is basically another way of saying this is a really hard problem, not that it isn't a problem. If too many of the golden goose's eggs are going to too few people it is still imperative that the goose not be killed, or, ideally, even all that slowed down by any plan to fix that. And I fear many people grossly overestimate the power of the modern economy to sustain social engineering schemes... the difference between even 1% growth and 1% contraction in a given quarter is very small, pretty much below a Just-Noticable-Difference everywhere, yet over the long term compounds quite frightfully... we have less buffer for playing around than it may initially seem when you first look at trillions here and trillions there.

That's an interesting chain of logic. The mere responsibility of a job gives you powers of arrest? Why are there police in the US at all, if private citizens may so easily be empowered?
Wikipedia says it only indirectly, but yes:

"In New South Wales, revenue protection on its rail network is primarily the responsibility of Transit Officers. Like their Victorian counterparts, these transit officers also carry out security patrols on trains and railway stations, with the power of issuing on-the-spot fines for minor offences, and even to use "reasonable force" to make arrests."

Which I read as saying that ticket officers in both NSW and Victoria (where this story takes place) are allowed to use reasonable force.

(In America, of course, things are different. For instance the BART has its own police force, which 999,999 times out of every million can be guaranteed not to shoot you in the back while you're lying on the ground.)
I believe the website changed the content of the article. Note how his blog has two posts with the same text now. Probably trying to take advantage of all the Slashdot/other traffic to sell whatever.
The post has changed for some weird reason since submission. Here's the text, via the Google cache:

I love my Kindle 3. I was in the middle of writing a blog post about how great the Kindle 3 and Connectify work together (which I will post in the next day or two), but started having a problem with my Kindle crashing randomly. I searched the forums and lots of people reported the same problem, but only when they had the Amazon leather cover without a light. But no one ever saw this happen on the version with the light, and no one seemed to explain how that could happen.

It didn't seem to make a lot of sense that a leather cover would crash an electronic device, so I got curious and started to look closely at my Kindle's case.

The unlit leather Kindle case has 2 black hooks that slide into the side of the device to hold it into place.

So then I looked at the lighted version to see how it's different:

On the lighted version, the hooks are gold! That's how the light gets power, of course. One of them is power and one of them is ground.

So then I looked really closely at hooks on my cover:

It's coated in a black, textured paint, which does not conduct electricty. But look closely along the edge, where it rubs against the inside of the Kindle. It's still black, but there are now spots with a smooth texture where the paint has rubbed off.

So out came the handy-dandy Radio Shack multimeter, set to measure resistance. I found a smooth point on each of the hooks and:

They're connected? It's hard to get a good reading, without scraping all the paint away. But that's a connection... remember that's how it powers the light. Depending on your contact you can see some pretty low values, which imply a pretty good connection between the two.

This is why the Kindle crashes. Once a bit of paint has rubbed off the hooks, power starts flowing through the cover, leading to brownouts; the CPU does not get enough juice to operate properly and ends out either hung or rebooting!
The theory is pretty sound imo:

REM atonia, a state in which the motor neurons are not stimulated and thus the body's muscles do not move. [From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REM_atonia#Physiology]
Yeah, I almost wish they didn't use the keyword 'lambda' at all. If you could just write:

def foo(x):
def lambda():
print x
lambda;bar(callback=lambda);baz(42,lambda)
def lambda():
print x * x
lambda;bar(callback=lambda);baz(42,lambda)

It'd stop this silly complaint. I just end up using 'def lambduh'

Slightly annoying that you need to define the function on the line before, can't inline it, but not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.
Right flyer has a way better info hierarchy. Highlights are more readable from a distance : Aikido(subject) , beginner classes, regular classes, come visit(call to action). I don't know Aikido (I'm a Taido guy) so I don't know what the symbol on the bottom represents.

It can very easily turn into mockery when you don't understand a culture and then try to emulate it. Think parents trying to act hip, it just doesn't work. Why try to falsely disguise what it is and where it's from?
As someone originally from India, also a South Asian country, but where none of these bans ("litter, graffiti, spitting, expelling 'mucous from the nose' and urinating anywhere but in a toilet") are in place or being enforced -- I totally understand LKY's way of thinking, and agree with it.

In India, a lot of people chew tobacco and betelnut leaves, spit them out straight on the street. Litter? No problem, just chuck it out the window. I have seen supposedly educated people throwing their banana peels and empty potato chip bags straight out the window of a bus rather than waiting for the next stop. Want to take a leak? Go against the nearest wall, and pee in the stench of 20 people who have gone before you. People seem to have no concept of keeping public spaces clean. Literally exactly the behaviours described in the Singaporean rules are rampant in India.

All this leads to a fuck ton of garbage, filthy streets, and an image of being an unclean country. I wish we had had someone like LKY in the early 60s who could have prevented this from happening, and had given India an image of a modern country but with an ancient back-culture.

I have often wondered about the deeper reason behind this behaviour; and my hypothesis is that it is related to the concept of the family as the main social unit in South and East Asian culture, rather than the broader society as a whole. So people will keep their own house sparkling clean, but not hesitate to spit against the wall in the street two blocks away. The Singaporean solution ("ban the spitting and enforce it with steep fines") was, in my opinion, the quickest and most pragmatic way of solving this problem for a large, densely populated Asian city. Kudos to him.
> It's about control. It's about the studios always having a seat at the bargaining table when new products/devices are being floated. They fear becoming a commodity supplier.

The only way the studios would become a commodity supplier is if there were numerous other sources of content people would pay money to watch. That's what it means for your product to be a commodity. E.g. consumer PCs are a commodity because if you don't like Dell, you can get an identical product from HP. But with movies, if you want Harry Potter, you have to play ball with Warner Bros., because consumers want that specific movie, not some generic equivalent.

The studios want DRM not because they don't trust consumers, but because they (rightfully) don't trust the tech industry. It doesn't matter that Harry Potter isn't a commodity if you can pirate it without doing business with Warner Brothers. The tech industry sells hardware and software services for consuming content, and it helps its bottom line if piracy is easy and prevalent. See, e.g., Youtube's being built on the back of infringing Viacom's copyrights. DRM gives the studios a toe-hold in the process to deter products that blatantly promote copyright infringement.
Either git commits are what engineers have to be judged on, or their body language.

With STMIA it's an understandable optimization, but nobody would expect STMDA to work the way it does. That would require careful testing and a deliberate choice to use the weird one even though it feels counterintuitive.
I never claimed the women’s March storming of the capital were out for blood.

Ashli Babbitt was killed by law enforcement. If law enforcement was not deployed it’s not clear there would have been any deaths. If law enforcement were deployed on the women’s March Storming of the capital, maybe they would have injured or killed protestors as well.

But regardless, the actions of the maga protestors did not directly cause the death of anyone. Doesn’t matter what you want to assume about their guns, you can’t deny that.
I understand what you're getting at with the quite different, immersive style of Stalker. I don't necessarily agree that the lack of connection is necessarily due to people being accustomed to "voyeuristic and pornographic [experiences]". Sure, there's plenty of movies like that and many who would dislike Tarkovsky are devotees of that style.

But one can be a lover of subtle, beautiful cinema and still find Tarkovsky boring. I can easily sit through Nashville or Beau Travail or La Cienaga and still find Tarkovsky boring. Indeed, attributing dislike of Tarkovsky to being unsophisticated in one's taste is precisely what I was critiquing in my previous comment. Tarkovsky is not the arbiter of one's film taste.
> Does this really count as mutability though? Not really. The string would be thrown away anyway so this is just an optimization to reuse the memory. The important takeaway here is that you are not allocating a new string every single time like the internet says.

This is an undocumented optimization, so you should assume you're allocating a new sting every single time like the internet says.

I've been coding Python since 1.5.2 days and so I'll continue to use lists as intermediate string builders and then join afterwards because I know this works in past, present, a likely future versions of Python.
I think it's almost entirely a supply issue?

Israel, UK and USA procured large amount of doses ahead of time, and now EU is having trouble getting enough doses for their population.

That was my understanding.
And I don't mean real as in "belief", I mean real as in actual factual reality.

So it's not an "alternate" reality (that's usually used as pejorative), it's a different situation to your own.
The funny thing about "value" stocks is that they go up only if someone desires to buy them more then you want to hold them. In the case of "income" stocks, their value is intrinsic in their dividend yields. Buying "value" stocks of any company is just gambling in my view, unless they have a strong potential of returning dividends in the near term.
If we all used BTC, there'd be no war and no standing armies?

Your comment actually creates more doubt about long term effects than it assuages. “There aren’t any long term effects. Because uh, there is no such thing as long term! Hah hah! It’s certainly not because they weren’t studied long enough.”

I think what the article argues is exactly this: there would be less hyper-connected nodes if the nodes would be more locally connected. The spreading of the disease would happen much more slowly in this case. This fits in with the theory of scale-free networks.
