Large-scale hydro is major ecological harm. And even for something less damaging, that's still massive energy use that could be used for something else. Bitcoin is displacing other activity.

I don't get the impression that you understand value at all, except as a stick to beat people with in arguments. Given the volume, glibness, and excess confidence with which you write, trying to argue you into understanding it doesn't seem like a good use of my time, especially given your tendency to treat your personal feelings as objective fact. If you actually aim to learn, you could start with the Lean look at value; they write some pretty accessible stuff. But I'm done here.
For sure I agree, I just tried to check my Reddit account and it has now been suspended due to some activity so that I could find the comment.

Unfortunately I cannot find it but ultimately it was not a debate, it was a classic teen response 'yeah but what have you done about it?!!?'. No value add and definitely nothing worth replying with.
It would be great if you could also bind the 'h' and 'l' keys to navigation (for those of us who dislike moving our hands off the home row).
it’s particularly aggravating that form fields have been largely stagnant over the past 20 years. so much repetitive development happens around forms (validations or date/time pickers, for instance) and yet very little effort goes into improving them.
The bias in the headline is apparent. Referring to the guy’s family position as a cause for sympathy.

It does not stop there. Details of what he did was he didn’t “disclose” the hemp ingredients in the product he sold. That is illegal anywhere.

Further people who bought it did not want to buy hemp. That was deceit.

Death penalty is anger.
That would be called Signed English.
"and better compensation (EM's often make less than say, Staff/Principal devs)."

this may be true in Silicon Valley but in most companies management gets compensated better than engineers no matter the level.
This.

I came in at the end of the CP/M era, with an Amstrad PCW9512. I loved it. Sadly a long-ago ex-G/F gave it away. :'(

I have 2 replacements, mind you. But CP/M is kinda dry. It's not much fun to play with. I am at a bit of a loss as to the new enthusiasm for it today...
The East India Company would be a good supporting example or, more recently, United Fruit Company giving the world the term “banana republic”.

I think the corporation versus government phrasing is obscuring the underlying problem of power without accountability to the people. That’s going to end poorly no matter the exact relationship between the private and public sectors.
I know, all I wonder is whether engine development slowed down or changelog person was let go, or whatever.
Google does the same:

Pretty ridiculous in this day and age.

That's just a contradiction, not hypocrisy.
"You can access to all versions of Notepad++ on Download page of Sourceforge."

Way to be consistent, dudes.
I linked to other posts in that post, in which you can see some of the things I struggled with (written while I was struggling). For example:

1. Windows opening and closing seemingly at random when using SLIME
2. Horrible default fonts
3. Unfamiliar keybindings, some of which are awfully long keystrokes to do very common actions, e.g. C-x C-f to visit a file, C-x C-s to save a file.
4. Struggling with Emacs jargon and navigating the help system

There was a lot more. Part of the problem is that none of these things bother me any more, because I've drilled them into my brain over the past two years. So I don't remember everything I struggled with. I just remember being extremely frustrated.

For the most part I never found solutions other than getting used to the Emacs way of doing things, and changing my habits.
"I went from being the Tony Montana who came to Miami with nothing and worked his way to the top through a combination of sheer will, toughness and a knack for avoiding chainsaws, to being the Tony Montana who was unconsciously fantasizing about his sister and yelling obscenities to an empty room while soaking neck-deep in a cocaine-fueled bubble bath."

Yup. There's an App for That.
GNU readline is a bit of a bloated monster but it gives many programs vi-mode. Like gdb.
Come to think of it your site brings another dimension to the way we interact on the web but what separates you guys from say Google's Reader service. I'll take a look.
No word on their site, just a tweet from @pulsepad that indicates that they are back with a link to the App Store.

I'm glad it's back - I didn't get to grab it this morning and just got it.
On a commerce website I help with, 6% of the visits in the last 30 days are IE6, which is 7% of the revenue. Those numbers are about 50% of what they were during the same period last year.

As an interesting note, the site still has a user on IE5.01 that orders every few months.

Would this article make the front-page if the word mushroom was replaced with mycelium or fungus which removed the hope of legitimizing psychedelics? I doubt it, even in the article they extol the virtues of "magical" mushrooms:

> While it’s also being researched for uses in less cosmic concerns like breaking addiction and treat​ing cancer, psilocybin’s third-eye-opening properties aren’t superficial. Some the​ories argue that modern human intelligence itself was borne of consumption of the stuff. Magic mushrooms are something about which Stamets is (naturally) an expert...

OTOH, maybe it's good to have the word mushroom in the title since it also signals to the rest of us that it's probably going to be an article by and for fans of psilocybin.
I like to think of myself as someone who takes pride in their craftsmanship (whatever the craft may be); I'd imagine many developers feel similarly. As such, this advice stings. But it really has the ring of one of life's "hard truths", and so thanks for being direct (in both of your comments).
> I wonder if you could say she's technically still alive

Most organ donors would, then, still be alive. That would raise some interesting questions regarding inherited fortunes.
Nope, it's one of many, although it is one of the most sticky ones.
I'm just curious about the special character appearing in the title
You can't downvote article submissions.
I don't like how your summary leads to 'NASA sucks'.

It certainly generates a wealth of basic research.
I have accounts with both Rackspace and Heroku, and Heroku's free account sustained almost 60k hits over the last three days for me like a champ. When I got on LifeHacker, I turned on a dyno because I thought I'd need it, but then I shut it off because it didn't even matter.
And implement something that compiles down to native code too.
That’s how it was for the first few years, and it was glorious. Something of immense value (to inclusionists) was surely lost. The deletionists traded it all away for credit in the straight world.

No, what I'm saying is not up for debate is the fact that control gets shared when you take someone else's money. Its a known framework in which everyone operates.

Your "shareholders are known for" is simply a BS talking point. Every person who has a 401K is probably a shareholder somewhere. All those hundreds of millions of people value long term stability too. Nintendo is not a penny stock.
We are normalising and optimising mass surveillance and mass control it's hard to see it not happening. Why would anyone give that power up? Humans are power optimising machines. I'd say you have to prove your point since it's not logical to me.

One thing I think is interesting is sewerage testing.

I'd like to know more. Can we find if a person is in a city through sewerage?

They will be making the testing stations more granular as we speak.

I also think it's exciting we might wipe out many diseases through sewerage testing. It just sucks we are become a single cell in a large organism called government.

That's a little sad, is this recent? I'm pretty sure that at least as recently as El Capitan, you didn't loose any obvious functionality by recompiling the kernel.

From the left, this president is considered far too accommodating the right. This is one of those issues that everyone can see needs to be fixed and would be popular enough to be incontestable. I'm sure the republicans will be against it because they did not think of it first.
Honestly I just see it as blocking a list of domains or whatever right? I mean yeah if you care about the site and the loss in revenue of you using adblock may hurt you too if the site is hampered/dies, and so it may be in your interest to not use adblockers.

But, in my opinion of course, I don't think it's 'immoral' to block ads and stop their revenue if you don't care about it, we should have the ability to block domains right? The question is whether or not it's right to do so, if I'm thinking correctly. But believe it or not, I'm actually quite new to this 'debate'(?), just my first raw thoughts on this. I guess it's probably not as simple as what I just said..
I was in the room for this talk and despite the technical issues, it was a very inspiring session.
"there's not some massive conspiracy here - go ahead, use React/Ember"
I wish it were the case; whilst for my own projects I certainly follow such advice, I've found that in industrial settings Angular is seen like a framework that delivers quickly and "if you don't like it probably you don't understand it", and therefore trying to oppose its choice raises eyebrows ("ah you want to bill us more days", or "duh! our consultant wants us to make exotic||obsolete choices"), more than it triggers any objective discussion.
In order for that to be a testable prediction the terms need to be made precise. OO is a famously vague concept with many different concrete incarnations. There's single dispach vs multiple dispatch. Within single dispatch you have prototype based vs class based. You have objects as a record of closures. With multiple dispatch you have dispatch on class, or predicate dispatch, or full pattern matching. There's the question whether some form of identity or state is part of OO. The concept is broad enough that you can easily stretch it so that almost any modern language is OO in some form. A functional or logic programming language where functions can be split into multiple cases with pattern matching is arguably just a generalization of predicate dispatch.

If on the other hand we restrict the term to languages where values are essentially identity + a record of methods (whether through the indirection of a class v-table or directly stored in the value as in prototype based languages), I do think that model has largely run its course. It will certainly remain popular in the near future, but people are increasingly realizing that modeling everything as a record of methods + identity (+ state?) isn't a good way to do it. There are certain things that lend themselves to that way of modeling, but most things are best modeled in some other way. Records of functions + identity is just one particular data type among many, and it's not any more special than any other data type. Modeling everything as an object is like TCL where you model everything as a string. OOP is nice on the surface because you have some vague analogy to real world objects, but that does more harm than good. It is similar to agile or TDD where people try to sit down at the computer and immediately start typing code without any careful thinking beforehand. Like TDD and agile, OO also facilitates that kind of programming because people can take the concepts in their head and immediately start typing class definitions. It works for easy problems, but even there it does not lead to a pretty end result (one of the symptoms that sticks out most is the question 'on which class does this method belong?'). Rather than designing your program to model the real world, it usually works much better to design your program around the problem you're trying to solve. Rather than starting with the real world and making an analogue to it in your program, you start with the problem you're trying to solve and come up with a data model that facilitates solving that problem. A famous example of the former style gone wrong is Ron Jeffries who tried to write a sudoku solver with an OO + TDD approach in a series of blog posts. He modeled his program with classes that seem natural for the problem, and he wrote tests for those. Unfortunately writing a sudoku solver is not one of those problems where you can just start banging out code without any thought and get it to work, so he got stuck because he did not think about how to actually solve the problem, he only thought about how to model the real world with OO.
Naggy GateKeeper dialogs? It's extremely rare that I see them, and even then it's nothing like UAC was back in the Vista days.

I noticed my 3G seemed to start getting slower, have more frequent "world has come to a stop" pauses right around when the 3GS came out. I wondered a bit if it was a conspiracy of sorts, something intentional Apple did to make the non-3GS models seem even slower than they were. Not sure, of course, or whether a coincidence. But it's interesting to hear at least one other person noticed this.
Anti-personnel mines, not mines in general (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa_Treaty)

Also, 33 states, including China, India, Pakistan, Russia and the USA haven’t ratified that treaty.
I tried to have a setup similar to this during covid but ended up with a bit of a mess.

What I wanted was a home server that used X forwarding to forward services to my VPS, which also had some images running in a docker-compose stack that I wanted to have more robust uptime than my home server. I ended up being unable to get traefik to pick up on the x-forwarded ports, and ran into SSL certification issues that seemed insurmountable wrt hosting jellyfin this way.

Does anyone here use a hybrid home-server / VPS setup like this and know of a better setup? I prefer x port forwarding because I move about once a year and don't always have access to router settings
Modern IF games run ins much more powerful and flexible parser than older ones, and thus are s lot more forgiving about entry. For instance, "speak a word of essential nature" can be stated "speak a word of essential nature", obviously, but also "speak essential word", "say essential word", "speak word of nature", and a whole lot of other combinations.

some imagination is expected from MS not the poor people without electricity, and without the luxury of imagination. This is a typical example of senseless marketing. If you are targeting the 20% mentioned, i would expect a Solar panel based charger that would charge a battery during the day, and then transfer the stored energy to the phone during the night. Now that's the imagination i would love to see.

This irks me about Unity. I have to run several gsettings commands after a new install to get rid of those dumb overlay scrollbars and to return the menu to the window that owns it. I leave the control buttons on the upper left, I kind of like them there but I can't stand overlay scrollbars and really dislike having to move the mouse all the way to the top just to work with the menu for an application which is why I do the gsettings thing. It's also what turns me off about the Mac, one menu at the top shared for the active app.

Edit: I also run some gsettings commands to turn menu icons back on. Also, you can return menus to the owning application in the Unity UI, right-click the Desktop, Change Desktop Background, select Behavior tab and it's there.

What does "pseudo" fecal microbial transplant mean? Why does your site not mention anything about FMT? (correct me if I'm wrong, I couldn't find it).
You won't be able to carry over games purchased, true. But you can create a new account.

There's definitely precedent for that behavior from Microsoft's side, obvious or not (a certain anti-trust case springs to mind). They have nothing to gain by being obvious about it, and everything to gain by being a whole lot more sneaky about it.

I'm not saying it's necessarily what happened with the DNT header, but they'd do well to avoid drawing too much attention to themselves in certain cases.
Thank you for this.

Late one evening, as I was about to graduate from high school, my mother and I were in our backyard looking at the sky. Mom asked me why I wanted to study astronomy. Surely I would do well to practice my father's profession of electrical engineering?

I pointed up at the stars. "Consider how much bigger all of that is, than you or I, or even the entire Earth. Surely there is no better way for a young man to spend his life, than in the contemplation of the Heavens?"

Mom lost her father to suicide when she was but seven years old. For reasons that are hard to explain, despite being a scientist, I expect to meet my grandfather one day, in the afterlife.
The law says nothing about computability (nice straw man) but it does say ideas and math are not protected whereas code is. My point is the API declarations at the heart of this case are not protected by law because they are examples of the former. Like a formula, they are ideas that describe what to do, but not exactly how to do it.

If you code GCD in a low-level computer programming language then of course you can claim a copyright on that code, but nobody owns the idea of the Euclidean algorithm.
Which is why the more people we have to work on the problem the better.

The individuals DO factor into that but it require a framework the individuals best suited for solving these problems can work within which allow them to spend the time needed to create the knowledge to solve the problems which requires wealth which require growth i.e. requires society (i.e. us)
Fast charging has been around for quite some time now and battery degradation hasn't become more of a problem than it already was 10 years ago. Apple just had its battery degradation and throttling controversy only and that was for a set of phones that didn't even have fast charging.

Not that I plan to, but if I did, I'd be able to pick up a lot of the slack of rides without dogs so that other drivers could pick up the dog rides. I'm sure many drivers are more than willing.

I don't see how this isn't a win-win for them to allow it but give each driver a preference.
Can you be more specific about the differences your talking about? As far as I'm aware, Google never added their own features to the language itself. Granted, they were a bit slow to support new versions like Java 8. They also chose not to support libraries like awt, but I wouldn't consider those part of the Java language; rather they're part of Java SE.
I think you can be biased but also non-partisan. Partisan is usually referred to in terms of being an the side of a particular party. The Economist definitely has its bias, but that doesn't align clearly with either the right or the left in American politics.
On pure principle I kind of agree, but the reason that the ADA exists is because people with disabilities that require things like ramps and big bathroom stalls with grab bars are not a significant enough market segment to pressure businesses to offer them; the end result of which is that accommodations would not exist otherwise.

This is the necessary kind of regulation that shores up a hole that free markets wouldn't solve on their own. Accommodating disabilities isn't profitable.
> The same with racism. As someone from South America, I find the racism in USA extremely pathological and not at all similar to what I experience in real life.

I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here. But if you're saying racism in America is overblown, you couldn't be more wrong.
That looks neat, cheers dankco! I think there is a lot of room for these lightweight text-first systems.

I use a simple homebrewed system for my notes too, https://github.com/d5ve/noop which is just a search/edit loop, where you look for files and add/edit them.

https://github.com/d5ve/noop started out in golang too, but I ended up shelling out for so much stuff anyway, that I rewrote it in bash.
Are there plans for a matrix or checklist for supporting different income types, forms, or some other way to measure support levels?

Looks like you are using typescript React here. Any driver for that choice?
I'd stack the probabilities as following:

1) Bat->Livestock->Human transmission

2) Direct bat->human transmission (your example fits here as a tiny subset, I don't think specifically employees of that one lab are the only people who could have had contact with a bat)

3) Lab leak

I'm rating the probabilities as I see them. Your scenario is possible! It's just not the most probable, and even if it were, there are a lot of possibilities.
Approximately 50% of the YouTube videos in my playlist that I’ve added over the last four years are no longer available.
Yeah... and the crazy thing is that people on the big clouds or even just using Firebase have experienced outages as a result.

I've had zero downtime due to running on a Digital Ocean VPS the past few years and very, very brief outages due to my own decisions around various upgrade and backup decisions. I spend less, I get full control and there's zero risk of a surprise bill.

I think the key thing is that most customers won't blame you if your service goes down due to an AWS outage.
