> The conservative faction are protesting something which hasn't yet happened.

This is a fact, but not really true in the sense you mean it.

The conservative faction were rubbed the wrong way by the footnote. The issue is that while it is not a proclamation of doctrine, it has been pointed to as justification for some German and Latin American bishops' administering of communion to the divorced.

The real problem is that Francis has remained silent when asked for clarification on the footnote, and whether or not it changed doctrine. Clarification was first requested officially (though privately) by a couple of bishops, and when no response was given for several months, those bishops published the letter to put further pressure on Francis to issue a clarification one way or the other[0]. The letter reads as a very polite request for clarification.

This went without response. In addition, there is some evidence that bishops have been privately directed to interpret the footnote in the 'heretical' sense. The evidence for this is laid out in the filial correction itself (see [1]).

The most recent document, referenced in the Guardian article as accusing Francis of spreading heresies, can be read here[1]. I would encourage anyone reading this to do so.

The document, along with the rest of the 'protesting' happening across the conservative side of the spectrum, isn't so much in response to a change in doctrine via dictum, but instead a response to the lack of clarification, and Francis' allowing (or even encouraging) a de facto change in doctrine.

> Was hoping that people that see themselves as enlightened and rational would recognize the complete lack of nuance or reality in statements like "entire dogma is a fiction without any basis in reality".

Lack of nuance? Maybe. Lack of reality? Not really. I don't think nuance is helpful here. The fundamental defining characteristic of the institution is faith as an epistemology. The details of how exactly this irresponsible epistemology is constructed don't really contribute anything to the understanding of why that makes it a bad institution.

> You don't believe that's simplistic? Is that a way to jumpstart useful dialog about that institution?

No, it's simple, but not simplistic. And whether it's a way to jumpstart a useful dialog? That's generally difficult to judge before you see the result, really.
Pope Francis shits all over Catholicism yet in the same breath defends Islam.

If you follow the Bible to the letter you get Hasidic Jews or Catholics, if you follow the Quran to the letter you get radical islam.
Only if we all agree that those documents actually mean something in our collective imagination. This is a primary difference between us and animals, we can collectively agree that the paper in a file or the bits in a computer mean that something exists. Even physical cash only works if we all collectively agree that a £5 note ($5 bill) is an ok thing to trade for an item that is priced at £5.

If I could persuade enough people that incorporation documents are invalid and that we all collectively agreed the corporations would cease to exist. This is of course an absurd notion and not practically achievable but there was a time before corporations existed and there could be a time after which they existed if we want. This is the same for any human conceived idea.

How to Transfer WhatsApp from Android to iOS
Hi Jason, thanks for your work on Wireguard! I evaluated it just a few weeks ago for my own usecase, but couldn't get it to work yet. Maybe you can tell me what I'm missing.

My usecase is as follows: I have a number of systems without publicly-routable IPs (i.e. behind NAT in different private networks) and two servers with public IPs (let's call these "head1" and "head2"). I want to build an overlay network between all of these servers, so that they can all reach each other. Since any of the two head servers may be down for whatever reason and I may not always have time to immediately investigate the problem, I want to have a highly-available setup where, upon failure of one head node, traffic goes over to the other head node without long disruption. I tried to give the clients a configuration like this:

[Interface]
PrivateKey = ...
ListenPort = 12345

[Peer]
PublicKey = ...
Endpoint = head1:12345
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0

[Peer]
PublicKey = ...
Endpoint = head2:12345
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0

But when I set up the wg0 interface with that configuration, it would discard the AllowedIPs setting for head1 upon finding the head2 peer with the same AllowedIPs value (at least according to `wg`). Am I doing something wrong, or is this an inherent limitation of Wireguard? (The fineprint: I did this two weeks or so ago and am recalling this from memory right now, so I may be wrong in the details.)
Depends on the flight, but I usually use a travel agent.

If it's a simple flight, I might use some airline website to book it, but most often for me it's some thing that you can't book at all on the airlines I use. I fly into small rural airports and they simply dot not exist on any major airline's websites.

I give the string to a travel agent and he is able to book the flight no problem.
I understand the concern on an individual level as expressed in the article, but doubt "revenge spam" even moves the needle with mail providers' decisions on MailChimp mails get through or not, which is the primary concern of people worrying about its deliverability.
Yes, and there was a plenty of backlash from that as well. It's simply if you say that God is absolutely rational, driven by eternal logic that cannot contradict itself, and you suddenly claim something else, you get a fork in your organization. If you look at history as one GitHub repo, you can say that Judaism began as a fork/synthesis of more ancient religions, then there was a Christianity fork, that itself forked multiple times, with first major fork when it split into Catholic and Eastern Orthodox, then Catholic forked into Protestant, then Protestant forked in thousands of different denominations. Most of them are profoundly disagreeing with each other about some small difference, and many of these small differences caused wars as their practical implications accumulated over the years. You can observe the same with all major religions or philosophical systems, and forking is especially popular in Buddhist culture. Islam on the other hand deals with inconsistencies by favoring later issued Surahs over earlier ones. Unfortunately, later Surahs are those militant ones while earlier the more peaceful ones.

Frankly, this somehow plays into the argument we are in a simulation and religions are optimization procedures to figure out which ideas will prevail in the end, driven by external actors.
Suggest mode solves the problem elegantly. Google docs has had this for a while.
Exactly. I just treat Bitcoin as another asset in my portfolio, and manage my exposure. I allocate Bitcoin to be X% of my portfolio, and if my current percentage is drastically over where it should be, then great - time to skim some profits and move it into other potentially less risky assets. I don't see the point of just cashing out entirely - certainly not right now.

London: Sunlight secures €570K to scale its learning platform for businesses
I looked at tinc yesterday, but it seems there are two options:

1. the stable release which only supports RSA-2048 keys (giving it RSA-4096 keys resulted in really bizarre errors like "read public key file failed: Operation now in progress"), and

2. the unstable release which does not compile on my system because of broken dependencies (and even if I got it to work, I have huge reservations about using unstable releases of cryptographic systems).

Am I missing something?
Can I ask, if I understand correctly, your reason for saying this dev stack is depressing is that it is yet another all-new stack. The problem here is the cost-benefit test of re-learning frameworks would fail in comparison to building on additional frameworks?

But I guess my question is, is it really depressing, because how would the indutry otherwise motivate giants like MS to innovate without such competition?

Or maybe I just misunderstood?
> Arguing over direction to preserve attendance may be pointless if you've built an organization around a fairy tale.

Doesn't matter. What other commenters here try to point out as well, a lot - if not most - organizations are built around one fiction or another. Some examples:

- Fanclubs, fandoms, convent attendees - those are literally communities built around fairy tales.

- Programming language communities - built around ever-changing artifacts of human imagination, they too have to deal with possible change of direction impacting attendance.

- Political parties - organized around some people's understanding of some ideas, + shitton of meaningless slogans that everyone interprets how they like. Exist mostly to self-perpetuate, as evidenced whenever any established party has anything meaningful to say or do; suddenly the official program takes second place towards what helps electability.

- Companies - the ultimate bubbles of meaninglessness, they in principle - and often in practice - exist as an ever charging group of people bound together by will to make money on ever changing product for ever changing market, lead by ever changing board.

I'd add nationalities, as there's plenty of crazy fiction going on in there, but they're at least usually bound geographically, so there's that.

--

The point being, many if not most organizations are built around some fairy tale or other, and what an organization is built around rarely matters to anything. What matters is how strong the community is, and that's pretty much purely social factor, without any actual dependence on objective reality.
Erik's argument seems to be:

- It's not erupting within our lifetimes

- If it were showing signs of actively erupting soon, it would take infeasible amounts of drilling and cooling to prevent

- Therefore, we should make contingency plans for an eruption but no plans to prevent.

This sounds like sheer madness to me. The problem of cooling down Yellowstone is much easier if you spread the task over a few thousand years rather than postpone it until an eruption is imminent. Yet he doesn't even consider such an option, despite the clear upside of thousands of years of extracted geothermal energy.
Right? I havent seen anyone try to take the hit for it either, no pull date or anything. Pathetic.
Yesterday was the 500th anniversary of a previous fork. Presumably forking nowadays wouldn't lead to another Thirty Years' War.

It's usually called a schism rather than a fork.
Heh, guilty of that as well :D

All the options you listed require two or more programming languages. Electron apps can be written entirely in JavaScript, requiring zero context switching between multiple programming languages, as well as sharing code on the backend and frontend. Hence the popularity.
Biblical literalism is a characteristic of some Protestant groups, not Catholicism; the treatment of the Apocrypha is relevant to this.

> What sets Bitcoin apart from all other crypto currencies is its extremely high hash rate. This means that a Bitcoin is orders of magnitude more “precious” than any other crypto coin presently in existence.

Why? What evidence do you have that a high hash rate causes high value?

I would argue that the hash rate follows value, rather than the other way round. A low hash rate and high value makes mining is more profitable, which results in more miners joining, raising the hash rate. Thus the hash rate adjusts to reach an equilibrium against the BTC to electricity exchange rate.
PICO-8: FANTASY CONSOLE
Same here. It was my first episode of econtalk. There were thought provoking points; i.e. focusing more on systemic mistakes rather than small ones as a result of permitting decision making at the local level (a la N. Taleb). However, it could've been told in 1/3rd the duration. I'll give it another go given this episode might have been one off.

Why do people use desktop Slack? I always run it my browser, I just don't see the value proposition of a native application?
Which client if I may ask? GitHub Desktop?
Then we are back to HTML 5 APIs, which any browser can already do.

If they need to interact with the host OS, someone needs to write those native plugins, and that won't be in JavaScript, as the Github repository for Electron clearly proves.

In the end is all about using an hammer for everything.
Emacs, at least in windows, can be surprisingly slow. I think they have fixed some issues with long lines, but those used to be aweful. Also large files can be slow. Also, too many packages is a problem, which we might well see in the future for VS code, too, but the javascript runtime is likely orders of magnitude faster than the emacs one, no?

vim, on the other hand, is supposed to be really quick as far as I have heard!

Interesting that the article does not mention The Precautionary Principle [1], which is the opposite of 'permissionless innovation'.

Religious institution != religion. Especially in case or large, mainstream religions, where the institution itself has little direct influence on how people live their lives.

Religions are all about community, and for communities, traditions and beliefs are usually social objects, i.e. arbitrary things around which a community forms. The question of whether it's really true or false is - to most Catholics - just about as relevant as the question whether Star Trek is true or false is relevant to Trekkies. The issues those communities are debating are not about how their beliefs match reality, but how their beliefs match the canon around which the community is built.

Matrix is fantastic. However, riot desktop sucks in my opinion. Yet again, an electron app. You say that matrix "has excellent clients for all platforms". That is simply not true at this time. For linux, there's pretty much only 1 client that's currently usable, and that is riot (electron app).

No, that isn't the case. The Node.js APIs bundled with Electron expose considerably more functionality to JavaScript than the HTML5 APIs that Chromium exposes. And the Electron framework exposes even more native OS APIs that Chromium and Node.js don't provide.

Look, you can call it "using a hammer for everything" pejoratively if you want, but it's popular for a reason, and that reason isn't the moral decay of society. It offers real utility that reasonable people find valuable for rational reasons.

It is true: An isomorphic function admits an inverse function.

However, what you are describing in the second paragraph is a generalization of functions: You are now reasoning in terms of relations, where a single entity can be related to one or more others. Hence, a programming language that reasons in terms of relations (not functions) seems very appropriate for your use case. Logic programming is a such a natural generalization of functional programming.

For example, if you want to reason flexibly over dates and times, check out Prolog and its finite domain constraints.

Michael Hendricks has implemented a great library for this, called library(julian):

http://mndrix.github.io/julian/

This library lets you reason in terms of ranges and other constraints to describe general relations between dates and times.
But then, by implied results, OP is also correct. The reason they are pissed by getting no clarification is because they don't want the "heretical" interpretation to get any foothold. And the reason the pope doesn't answer that request is because he wants the "heretical" interpretation to succeed without himself being excommunicated. If he says "yep, that's what I mean" he starts to have a big problem. But nobody can punish him for not clarifying a footnote. But if there wouldn't be the underlying conflict of interest the request and non-answer for clarification wouldn't be a topic people would think about.

The difference between you and OP is merely the question of which layer is discussed. The layer of facts or the layer of meaning.

A Catholic friend of mine really does not like what Pope Francis is doing. Really, really does not like it.

I haven't asked him for details, because we have to work together in a music group and if we fall out the chances are the whole thing stops happening (it's a very small group playing instruments very few people can play). But it worries me, because as far as I can tell Pope Francis is quite keen on being nice to people, and showing mercy and forgiveness. I thought those were central tenets of Christian teaching.

Of course, as an atheist, I can't really comment, other than the slightly surreal nature of all these people worrying about interpretations of a fictional document and inspirations from a non-existent entity.

In fact, this kind of thing could be taken as further evidence that God is a fiction.
