Just because someone sits behind a computer doesn't mean they get to have complete control over and privacy within that computer.
Specifically, when they do not own that computer and are payed by someone else to do work using that computer.

In this sense, corporate users truly are different from private users. Similarly, company e-mail is not confidential. A very important requirement to this treatment of corporate users is that the end user ought to be made aware of this. Both with the company e-mail and the proxied company computer.

Part of the issue here is that sometimes encryption is bad. I for one dread the day I'll have to install some binary blob that communicates using TLS with a pinned cert I cannot override.
Similarly, encryption and secure hardware modules are what enable boot-locked devices.
The point being, cryptography can be used to take away control. Not just from big institutions but also from end users.

If we admit that sometimes cryptography is bad, there might be cases where we want a controlled way to break it. Again, this should be done with notice and all responsibilities lying with those taking the risk. That is, the party responsible for securing the proxy is also the party that is screwed when the proxy is compromised.

This might sound like encouraging key-escrow for government acces. It definitely does not. The issue there is notice (or choice, if non-escrow becomes outlawed) and the fact that a compromised system hurts end users, not the government. Thus, the incentives are misaligned for the government.
I still have a 2013 rMBP going strong, battery at 90% of original capacity... what are your charge cycle counts like?

That's fair. Though the JVM is more performant than most people think.
Qualcomm gpus have so many webgl bugs and they never get fixed via driver updates. I have run into 3 different ones in my three.js work. Now getting acquired by broadcom probably wouldn't have changed things.
Had to scroll down all the way to your comment until somebody finally gets the meta view. Just amazing how the usually brilliant minds of HN are baited into this morronic censorship discussion.
It's rather odd watching the same group that wants Net Neutrality and municipal broadband disagree with you.

Trump's nationalized 5G idea is brilliant in that it consolidates all efforts, but also serves to protect freedom. Under the privatized approach we use now, wireless ISPs spy on us, and sell the data to the government. That's constitutional and legal, because the government didn't do the spying. Under a nationalized plan, it would be unconstitutional for the government to conduct dragnet spying.

Do we drive on corporate owned highways? No, and we have the most extensive highway system in the world. For comparison, look how well privatized rail worked out. You're right. Privatized infrastructure sucks.
This is the first I've heard of Juno as something other than a dial-up ISP.
The developer wants to minimize risk. The homebuyers will choose what they prefer:

a. Without an HOA, every home is well-kept like a postcard. (possibly most desired, but unlikely to happen)

b. With an HOA, every home is well-kept like a postcard. (acceptable)

c. Without an HOA, some homes have a "redneck" or "ghetto" look. (undesirable)

d. With an HOA, every home has a "redneck" or "ghetto" look. (won't happen)

The only rational choice for the developer is "b". If they try for "a", they might only sell a few houses before somebody makes the place look threatening. That drives down the selling price for the nearby lots. The lower selling price may even increase the chance of having buyers who will also make a threatening-looking mess.

I wish it weren't so. I hate how all modern housing has HOAs. Without some very unlikely changes in the law, we're stuck with the situation.

how about asking kids parents to detoxify their kids than solving the problem way down the chain of command?

People are shitty online because they have anonymity. Now instead of going ahead and removing that, it might be worth going backward even more and going to the person.

people need to be nice on the internet. The internet does not need to be nice to people. Detoxifying internet is no different than censorship. I can say this with certainty that as soon as we ask companies and governments to detoxify, it will get misused [un]intentionally.

Someone writes to it. And if they write before the read threads are run (and never again), then this is not really equivalent to the complexity we imagine when we say complexity in the context of multi-threading.
Occam's Razor, essentially. The basic idea is that most multiverse notions arise naturally out of lower level mechanisms. A theistic explanation requires extra low level mechanics.

Say all of our experiments are explained by Theory X. Then positing Thoery X + God is a model with strictly more moving parts and equal explanatory power as Theory X alone.

On a wider level, explanations like "God did it" tend to operate on the same level as calling the phenomenon "magic"---it's an analysis that doesn't really provide any actionable information on how to influence said phenomenon.

In that way, I personally see "magic" and "God" as operating more in the realm of storytelling. Practically, I find good storytelling is helpful for things like identity-building and theatre, but if I wanna build a bridge then my money's on minimum Kolmogorov complexity, i.e. Occam's Razor.

I completely understand, you should give it a shot. All I did was just try a couple times, I'd do like 1/5th of a pullup a couple times a day, and after awhile I could just do a little more, without any extra work. :P Hope it works out for you.

I put a pullup bar where I walk past consistently, so I don't have to go out of my way to make a try at it.

I'd make a couple of guesses there:

#1. Edmund Carpenter's writing style always seems a lot like he's writing things from memory and potentially embellishing a bit along the way to make a point. Fact checking for writer and reader wasn't so easy in the pre-Internet days.

#2. This was a proposition from the opposition, and even Wikipedia says "all through his political life, Humphrey was dogged by the charge that he was a draft dodger", so the team may have intended to bend the truth on purpose.
I'm the same, and I take it a step further: I personally believe that the push to associate emotional triggers with words, phrases, and news events to the point where seeing someone else "say the Wrong Thing" causes anything resembling emotional distress, is the most powerful weapon of social destruction in use today. The solution to "toxicity" on social media isn't better moderation, better filtering, better banned words and phrases lists... it's being able to see 280 characters on the screen, representing ideas you wholeheartedly disagree with, and not get worked up about it as your eyes move to the next thing on the list and you go about your life as usual. Sadly, the current structure of things incentivizes the former behavior and disincentivizes the latter. Corporations (especially news corporations) and politicians see no problem with conditioning people on a mass scale, and few people seem to question the narratives being spun all around them instead of just blindly believing whatever their social sphere agrees with.
Slightly off topic, but he mentioned that he got his start from the software engineering radio podcast that's been around since 2006. I've been binge listening to that podcast for about two months and it re-enforced two things that I always suspected.

1. I made the biggest career mistake of my life by staying at one company from 1999-2008. I missed out on so much of state of the art technology that I spent the next 8 years trying to get caught up.

A lot of the things I was just learning in 2009 were already common place for years before then.

2. As much as people say "technologies change fast", a lot of the higher level fundamental concepts they discussed 10 years ago are still relevant today.

Now back on topic...

A daily podcast that lasts an hour? It's remarkable that he can keep up that pace. Could he make just as much money from having fewer podcasts? would the scarcity make the podcast more valuable to advertisers?

I think John Grubers talk show podcast charges about $7500 per spot with 3 spots during an average 2 hour show per week. There have to be more software developers who would want a high quality podcast than people willing to hear Gruber's ramblings (no offense - I listen to his podcast every week).

I have a Dell Precision M4700 at work that seems nice compared to recent Thinkpads. That's not to say I really like any of them... They're all piles of low quality plastic junk with zillions of pain-in-the-ass fasteners. I suppose it's worth something to say that the Dell has held up to economy class air travel and abuse in meat processing plants, though the thin metal case retain dents.

Well HOA fees go to things like maintenance of roads, maintenance of community-owned spaces (landscaping, parks, etc). When HOA fees are high covering all these things the city's taxes would normally cover, the cities have less money all around. Fractured spaces glued together.

It's basically siphoning money that would be going to public infrastructure to make private infrastructure. There's also statistical evidence that people running the boards of these HOAs don't actually select the most value-oriented bidders, they reward their family and friends.

Edit sorry, old bookmark nevermind the link.
>There are also people who reject facts.

Most people don't reject facts, they reject certain interpretations of facts.

For example, some people believed epilepsy came from evil spirits. They didn't deny that the person was shaking on the ground. They just had a different explanation for it than we do now.

> culture of exhibitionism that takes place in real life that "strangely" seems to have so far escaped being raised in the ongoing gender wars

I'm not sure what discussing a lack of clothing or dressing provocatively would achieve - it's never an adequate defence for poor behaviour or assault by a third party. Any nuanced debate about the topic is difficult and likely to be a no-win scenario.

One of the few reasonable points to be made is that revealing clothing can be inappropriate in professional settings, however I think other females need to be the ones who encourage appropriate attire in the office. A male delivering the message would lead to anger and resistance as it'll be viewed as a form of control rather than something formed from consensus.

This might be an overly simplistic way of looking at it, but female exhibitionism is not dissimilar from a guy flashing how much power and resources they have. It's a signalling system, and it attracts both wanted and unwanted attention, but in a civil society assault and harassment are never acceptable no matter how provocative someone's behaviour might seem.

The definition of "national security" keeps getting looser over the years.
in Rust:

let (a, b) = (5, 6);

will de-structure the tuple, and assign 5 to a, and 6 to b. This works more generally:

fn foo(tuple: (i32, i32)) {
let (a, b) = tuple;

or even

fn foo((a, b): (i32, i32)) {
I have an x230 with a mod chip that steals display port lanes so it can run a 1080p panel. Thinkpad users think outside the box to get laptops that fit their needs usually. Unfortunately I switched to a new dell XPS 13 because I need more battery life. Apples and oranges unfortunately, can't afford any of the new thinkpads with decent screens.

It's quite possible that diseases suspect of being due to vitamin D deficiency are up, but evidence to that effect needs to be cited.

I'm not convinced that we have higher incidence of diseases today, than we did 50 years ago. At least not when you correct for age, and population size, etc. Maybe diabetes is up, but... still evidence is good.

If I bring any personal equipment when I travel it's a "burner". I have a Chromebook running Debian that never has anything on it I care about (and only access personal stuff remotely via SSH, using a PGP key on a YubiKey). I carry an old phone, again with nothing on it I care about. Both devices are encrypted and powered off through security (and left off as much as possible when at the airport in general).

The most important characteristic of these devices is that I'm 100% happy to just walk away from them (and there are no easily recovered credentials for any "cloud based" services I use).

If I'm traveling for work (and have equipment that belongs to my employer with me), I am equally happy to walk away from those devices (though I'll also leave the contact info for my company's lawyer).

I think that physicists do consider the deist view whenever they consider whether the universe is a simulation. You wouldn't call it a deist view, though, because it explores the minimum criteria, that the universe was created (Well, most specifically, that the universe is the result of a computation. The computation itself could be entirely incidental).

By whom or what is not useful to the exercise, and is omitted. Usually that part is important to deists.
Naive question from someone who's never written FFI code: does std::ffi::CString work here, or is the issue that you need to be able to have null bytes within the string?
I was absolutely obsessed with LORD, the greatest of door games. Looking back on it, even more than early Atari, BBS games are what turned me into a committed gamer for life. They’re the major reason why I got so into sims and RPG’s, on computers and P&P; D&D and Shadowrun in particular.

I think it’s a piece of history that really deserves preserving.

To be fair, a whole heap of routers DO have third party firmware available.

Pretty much anything using Qualcomm 802.11a/b/g/n/ac chips usually has OpenWRT/LEDE/DDWRT builds available, and more recent fullmac Broadcom chips are seeing more support.

Quantenna and Mediatek can still be difficult to get working, but they have a far smaller market share.

If you want a good, open-source friendly, router manufacturer for the home stick to NetGear. They've got an entire community called MyOpenRouter where people provide customised builds of the official firmware, as well as versions of DD-WRT and NetGear themselves often have a version of OpenWRT available.

I've been running LEDE (OpenWRT) on a Netgear R7800 in my home for the past year and it's been rock steady, is nicer to administer than the stock firmware and I can strip out anything that I don't want running on there very easily with a custom build.
I think GP is right to warn people. Historically "Thinkpad" has been the brand that was most likely to run Linux flawlessly, times are changing since Thinkpad is no longer IBM owned and has been on a gradual decline ever since Lenovo bought the rights to the product line.
Huh? What if Clinton had won and started a nuclear holocaust? Who's to blame then? You must be opposed to all political advertising for the party you don't like because somehow you're able to see that it's bad and the other half of the population isn't. That's being hopelessly blinded by partisanship.
Yes but it also palettizes per-block and it's not something the r8g8b8a8unorm format provides.

idk about ruggedness, for me it has been the track point and what used to be amazing support for Linux.

I've met anybody who thought thinkpads were cool, I usually get snobbed by Mac owners, although these days they look at my escape key with envy for some reason.
Immutability is quite the opposite of good for machine execution. Much of modern CPU architecture is based on the idea of memory locality, and that you'd be reusing the same memory addresses in a given unit of work.

Also, immutability helps people reason when the language doesn't have a clock. If the language does have a clock -- i.e. it is synchronous, like Eve or Céu -- mutability poses no difficulty.
People just like to rail against "sweeping generalizations", that's all. You know, you're the black-and-white dumb guy and I'm the intelligent nuanced guy.
That's true. There's so much randomness in there that every render will likely be unique - every so slightly different from the previous frame.
Especially now that the remaining OpenWRT devs have seen the light and LEDE is being merged back into the project, with governance modelled on the successful fork.
3D printed multi-layer printed circuit boards
It makes no sense to choose immutable values for the multithreading performance benefit. You can usually get a much larger benefit from using a single threaded mutable implementation. For example, a mutable hash table will outperform a persistent hash-tries for updates.

(Of course there are good reasons for using immutable values; performance is just not one of them.)

Swift collections are logically immutable but may mutate under the hood if there is a unique owner. This conceptually provides a best-of-both-worlds, but a downside is that the language does not provide much help to enforce single-owner (yet).
