Even in the U.S. most corporate-run platforms are fairly restrictive, many more restrictive than Patreon. Speech on commercial platforms has a completely different set of norms in the U.S. than speech in government-controlled or public spaces. This has actually caused Patreon trouble in the past, because on some axes they're less restrictive than U.S. corporate norms, which has caused friction with other companies they deal with who want them to restrict their userbase more. For example they've had trouble with Paypal over allowing not-porn-but-still-NSFW Patreons on the platform, which violates Paypal's no adult content policy. I believe they worked around that by allowing those users to stay on Patreon but restricting them to take only CC payments and not Paypal payments.
Can someone who understands pros and cons of bcc vs btc explain to me ( us ) which one of the two is more likely to scale / win ?
For more paranoid folks, it would be nice to have a configuration option to forego the git features and thereby remove the need for linking in any networking code. :)
Out of the scenarios OP listed I've only ever had problems with cables wearing out, which is why most decent headphones come with detachable cables

> My current interest level in new press releases for A8/7/S feels exactly like how I suddenly felt in 2004 or so when news of new laptop models suddenly failed to register even a blip.

If you think a Model S is way better overall than the high-end German fullsize cars, you were never actually in the target population for those cars in the first place. The things e.g. an S-class is renowned for - the attention to detail and quality of the interior, the ride quality, the ridiculous level of soundproofing, the rear legroom, the discrete rumble of the V8 - are on a level far beyond what Tesla delivers. Model S interior quality is on par with a VW Golf. And yes, I've ridden in both.

But of course the Model S has features that appeal very much to the tech crowd, like a big touchscreen and OTA updates and a CEO that can be worshipped.

It sounds a bit like someone who really enjoys off-roading complaining about how crappy the Model X SUV is because of the poor ground clearance and shitty tires.
ripgrep is amazing. people are starting to do really cool stuff in rust (alacritty also comes to mind) -- it definitely makes me feel optimistic about the language. (i've never done more than just poke at it.)
I find quite funny that the author is so convinced that the use of colors is the "right default".
1) I'm colorblind so my view of colors is different from yours.
2) I find that any tool which use many colors suck: there will be a color combination which will be hard to read (for example git log: the sha1 keys are dark red on black, unreadable) but using just a few color is very nice (git diff: 3 colors, one for +, one for - and a third one for the rest, nice!).

Also I've seen two times that the color bytes broke something: an expect script was broken by grep's colors and colleagues of mine were very confused when two similar commands gave different output, the reason? Colors!

So colors by default?
Thanks but no thanks.
Oh, I completely missed that word. My bad.
I forgot to add:

I went through maybe 10? in-ear headphones over 5 years.

Those things break all the time. And boy does it get annoying and expensive to replace these things:

- Sennheiser CX300-B In-Ear Stereo Headphone

- Sennheiser CX 400 In-Ear Headphone (Black) - 4 of these

- Etymotic Research ER6i Isolator In-Ear Earphones (Black)

- Many Sony headphones from the corner store :P

It's been maybe a year, with bluetooth headphones, my first bluetooth in-ear headphones still work. Maybe because there's less stress on the ear piece-wiring connection? I don't know.

Maybe I wasn't gentle enough with them, had bad luck, or got bad products. I don't know.

Also I forgot to mention how lame it is when the headphone jack itself on the laptop wears down or breaks. And you have to take the whole unit in for repair.

I look forward to never having to worry about that again :P
That's an interesting position to be in. If you're legit now but you have some past event which might be uncovered, do you approach the DOJ (through a lawyer, of course) to turn yourself in and try to cut a deal, maybe probation and free consulting services for TLAs for a few years, or do you just hope it never comes to light?

Then again, any deal probably means informing on friends and acquaintances of that period and scene. You could try to contact some of them and see if you could go forward together, but then you're setting yourself up for a prisoner's dilemma situation.

See https://youtu.be/YmcK6GvgVPs?t=3m27s, Patreon's presentation of evidence that they were blocking ships, and that Southern was actively involved. Note that this evidence is video that Southern herself published before she realized that these actions would endanger her own income stream, rather than just people in the ocean.
It's funny, and a bit unfair, how they can get away with having adult content and not being labeled `high-risk`.

Most adult credit card processing takes 10-15% before the business even sees anything, and they are only taking 5% total and providing a service.

In many ways it's an anti-trust issue because competitor platforms geared specifically towards adult content can't get those same rates.
maybe i'm typing wrong, but i want to hit "e" and "x" with the same finger, which makes it way slower to type than ls.

HACKER FOR HIRE
I can't believe what just happened.....A professional hacker just provided me full access to my children's phone calls, text messages and their social media accounts which means i can now monitor their daily activities and also be able to know when they are being misled by anyone. I am happy about this because my kids mean the world to me and ever since the death of their mother, i promised to always be there for them not only as a father but also as a mother so as to secure a bright future for them...You can contact the brain behind the hack at spystealth.org@gmail.com for any problems you have that relates to hacking.

My trouble is that most terminals have color settings such that colored text is not very visible. I really wish I could have a large number of different-colored terminals for different tasks, and that is easy if I turn off color, as designing a whole color set that always works is a bigger job.

What's funny is that colored interfaces worked just fine on IBM 3270 terminals in the 1980s, as they did on PCs. I can't understand why we can't get it to work right in the 2010s.
The issue is that those rules are enforced energetically and stringently against dissidents, but are often not enforced or enforced in a lax way for orthodox activists.

E.g. Anita Sarkeesian publicly calling one of her online political opponents a shithead and garbage human from the stage at a conference. He was sitting in the audience quietly. Result: he (not she) gets barred from returning on the grounds that his presence was somehow threatening, while her open vicious insults are passed over.

E.g. Zoe Quinn's crash override network had a chat log leaked where they were organizing harassment and doxing. No consequence.

Double standards everywhere.

This is why they like super vague terms like harassment and hate speech. If the term has huge flexibility, the people with power have huge arbitrary power to apply it.
What is wrong with having an http file host on your local pc? Anyone can browse an http address, and you can get a subdomain for free. Get a free https cert from letsencrypt and possibly put http user accounts / passwords on it to restrict access.
While it's a different situation, it's still not a good one. The lack of rights for foreigners, the NSAs reach, the willingness to prosecute citizens of other countries, long detentions and harsh penalties for computer crimes etc. puts people in a situation where the US government can make things very uncomfortable for them. I do think some risks with e.g. mass surveillance have been exaggerated, like being pursued on a basis of keywords. But if the US government actually has evidence against you of things they consider illegal, your legal protection against abuse will have weakened. So while it's unlikely that the FBI has a list of dissidents that they've correlated with collected evidence and are just waiting for people to cross the border, it's still not a situation people should have to, or have to, accept.

He was talking about high school shenanigans. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Kids play pranks on each other. Thats not going to be the end of the world, and nobody is going to be sent to jail.

He also explicitly said that everyone was doing it to everyone else, so obviously this isn't some cyber bullying scenario where someone is getting seriously hurt.

I remember people doing lots of dumb pranks like this in high school, and nobody ever got emotionally scared because someone "hacked" their facebook page (because it was left open as someone went to the bathroom) and changed their "interested in" profile section to "men".
Advice to engineering new grads: Don’t start your career at just any company
1. 100% of the headphones absolutely do not have 3.5mm jacks. Almost every pair of new "sports" headphones are bluetooth and have no 3.5mm jack to speak of.

2. It's disingenuous to claim it "won't work" with the headphones. Does it need an adapter? Yes. Is that annoying? Slightly. But they absolutely will work.

3. Again... have a little patience. The whole point of the Nexus line is to push other android manufacturers to be better... and to drive adoption of technologies Google wants to see. The Galaxy S8 will have USB-C. Apple is going whole-hog towards USB-C. We are literally on the cusp of it being a broader standard. Are we still 18 months away from it being ubiquitous in Target? Probably... but to pretend like it's not going to happen is silly. IF the argument is "the phone shouldn't move until the headphones do" - why on earth would a headphone MFG start making headphones that don't actually work with ANY phone on the market?
Oh and which well defined common bluetooth standard? V2? V3? V4?

There's a weird mesh of which devices can talk to which receivers. Just the other day I bought a new V4 USB receiver that refused to talk to an old wireless headset, and problems like these are emdemic.

You know what format didn't have these problems? 1/8" headphone jacks. Because it is simple, and analog, and DOESN'T CHANGE.
> I hear, that French had longer lasting successes with their translations.

Kind of. Generally, ‶old″ words are consistently translated. For instance, we have souris for mouse (which is exactly the direct translation, because it conveys the same idea), ordinateur (which could be translated as ‶sorter/processor″) for computer, informatique (science of the information) for computer science, disquette (small disk) for floppy disk, logiciel for software, and so on.

However, newer ones (i.e. past ~1985) didn't catch so much, mostly because the official translation were awful and/or came years too late. For instance, CD-ROM is supposes to be cédérom, i.e. the straight phonetic transliteration – losing all meaning in the process; tablet is supposed to be ardoise numérique (digital slate) – evokes school, came years too late and was too long in comparison to the colloquial tablette; fouineur (snooper) for hacker (no comment...); cybermonnaie (cyber-money) for cryptocurrency – losing half of the semantic, and so on.

> People have said that in scripts you'd want to just output the file size in bytes, and they're right, otherwise the numbers won't sort correctly.

Actually, many of the utilities that output in human readable format do so in a way that's also sortable through sort's -h option. It might be worth making sure you have a mode that outputs the same way so people can easily utilize sort. That is, K/M/G instead of Ki,Mi, Gi. Unless sort ignores the second alpha character when using -h and it still works, then no problem. :)

Edit: Actually, I just tested, and at least as of the sort in coreutils 8.4, it recognizes both forms, and actually dies with a warning if you mix them, so you're all good!

# echo -e "100Mi\n100Ki\n10Mi\n10Ki" | sort -h
10Ki
100Ki
10Mi
100Mi
# echo -e "100Mi\n100Ki\n10Mi\n10K" | sort -h

Reading his little paper, I was amazed at how many formula there are for calculating pi. Math is fun.
For me it is always difficult to see the groups in the permission groups, I would prefer the user part would have one color, the group part another... identifying if there is a r or w is not the problem. There should maybe be also between the groups a space, just to make the output more readable. Otherwise I would like to not see the file creation/change date at all, since most times it adds no valuable information. To get more verbose output - with date info, there could be something like exa -ll (make the output more verbose if there are more -l args present).

Just some ideas, maybe you like some of them :)
Well, there's a large middle ground between "little Jimmy's raspi's 4GB sdcard' and 'VISA's multi-PB datacenter'.

While there is certainly centralization pressure on mining, I do not agree that 8MB blocks make it impossible for everyone except for 'powerful companies' to run a full node, especially a pruned one. An enthusiastic early adoptor or investor holding, say, $100k of the token is more than capable of spending $500/yr to run a colo'd node. Would they prefer to spend $0 and host it at home? Probably. But the expense of a high-end VPS or low-end colo box is not totally prohibitive. We're not talking about more than a few rack units worth of HW.

Still waiting for a hack that adds a physical ESC key.
You're right -- I missed it out! Could have sworn I put one in one of the screenshots, too...

In any case, I've been working on a new site for exa, with much better documentation and actual explanations for what the features are, and that has one in it. So you'll have to wait a bit longer I'm afraid. (I could link a screenshot here if you'd like one)
I'm not ignoring the "by default" part; it's the crux of my complaint. There's a reason that I included that part of the text when I quoted it, after all. I perfectly understand that exa has a "-B" option.

> HN is so predictable that I knew someone would complain about this the second I read it

And I considered there'd be a pretty good chance that I'd get a reply like this.
Is that how you actually type, or are you speculating? With regular home row typing, e-x-a is 3-4-5, which are the hardest fingers to "drum", and even harder on three different rows. I've tried micro-optimizing special cases like this before, but then I have to think as much about typing as what I'm typing. On the other hand, I know I've hit "sl" by mistake more than a few times.
Same from my end. All the sub-21s in my family have mostly moved to Instagram. They still use Snapchat for sending personal stuff but Insta is where the stories live now.
False dichotomy. The question is not yes/no. It is a matter of degree. How angelic do people need to be for a system to work?

If he had angels any system could work. If we had devils no system could work. The reality is in between.
A half is much safer because the skin is split.

The whole reason that grapes are dangerous for small kids is that the throat can't break the skin.

That's because it's HN at the office. Mobile is generally going to be your bread and butter.
> "we haven't found a physical cause for most chronic pain conditions, so why not the brain?"

That makes more sense than I was expecting. In particular, pain must be felt in the brain. That is, my body can be suffering some trauma, but if the nerve signals don't make it to the brain, or the brain doesn't interpret them as pain, then I don't feel pain. (This is true of third-degree burns - they don't hurt very much, because the nerves got destroyed, so you don't feel how bad the burn is.)

But if the body isn't under (known) trauma, but the patient is experiencing pain, maybe the brain is a reasonable place to look...

The curious thing about Cyrillic is that, at least in Slavic languages, the correspondence between phonemes and letters is much more uniform than in Slavic languages that use Latin.

For example, "ч" is always the "ch" or "tsh" sound, whether we're talking about Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian or Serbian. OTOH, in Polish you use "cz" for it, while in Czech and Serbian it's "č".

It's not an inherent advantage of Cyrillic, of course, it's just that, by virtue of being designed specifically for Slavic languages, it had certain letters designated from the get go, while adopting Latin allowed for a lot more leeway in deciding how to represent sounds, and different languages did it differently.

Journalistic ethics prohibit journalists from taking action for one side or another. Investigative journalists should investigate political causes, and even specifically pursue ones they believe in; but their protection as journalists relies on them being observers and not actors.

This is probably just me, but whenever I start a book at 1x, it sounds okay, if a bit slow. Then I increase speed to ~1.5x for a while, and, when I listen on 1x again, it seems unnaturally slow, to the point where I wonder if audiobook producers slow the recording down a bit on purpose, just to make it clearer.

However, the fact that I usually notice it after listening on 1.5x makes me think that it's really an illusion. Does anyone have any "insider" info on this?
Depending on how your math brain is organized, it can mean just remembering two numbers.

> Curate was very specifically chosen. There is moderation - which is about the selection of material to see and its removal... and then there is curation which focuses on maintaining existing material.

Right, but I guess I'm sort of suggesting that what is needed is something in-between. "Soft" curation, if you want. Just an idea anyways, but it seems to be like it would be more scalable, and less likely to cause controversy e.g. when something gets deleted.

> The "less likelihood" is a binary thing. Stack Overflow can't say "index this, but don't show that result often" to google. Google does what it wants.

But yeah I guess that is the crux of the matter.. not much can be done about other people indexing old/bad stuff.
That it's so car dependent is entirely a choice though, not some inherent feature of geography.
The 1st Amendment is only an acknowledgment that the government can't infringe on a natural right that pre-existed. If a company wants to proclaim an open platform but selectively enforce speech restrictions, then in a sense it is diminishing natural rights.

If it's an online platform dedicated to bake sales, then it's fine to limit it to that. But things like Youtube aren't -- they are a dominant platform and it's at least immoral or an affront to Enlightenment ideals to selectively limit from speech they disagree with based on political views.

PS/2 was pretty terrible. It required a special port which couldn't be used for anything else, taking up extra space and making plugging your device in less convenient. It didn't officially support hotplug. The standard PS/2 mouse protocol only supported 3 buttons and two axes - there was a nasty hack on top of that to add a scroll wheel and another two buttons, anything beyond that is completely proprietary. It's so convenient by comparison to be able to plug a keyboard or mouse into whichever USB port is easiest and have it just work without special drivers.
