You've summed up exactly what I was trying to get to but failed in 10x as many words. Thank you.

Peterson is a clinical psychologist. So he knows how to make you believe him, to sympathize with him, to be moved by him, be enamored with him and all this with what other commentators have noted in essence, being bland writings spoon fed to you. Thats kind of dangerous. Dont be fooled. Dont be enamored.
Sure, the major frameworks may move to wasm under the hood, but the users of the library will still likely be coding in ES6. We will probably see a lot of APIs where the backend is implemented in wasm with a friendly, scriptable frontend in typical ES6.

That said, I’m actually skeptical wasm will ever find much of a use case with the DOM. The browser itself is already heavily optimized for working with the DOM, so wasm is unlikely to be competitive in speed except for specific use cases.
Yes, and it's replacing the other fiat systems we currently have. Full faith and credit of the Venezuelan government? No thanks.
If it didn't upset you before why would it suddenly upset you now?

People have been upset about this since Messenger came out. You can look up articles dating back to 2014 warning people about all the permissions Messenger uses. False assertions that people weren't upset before are getting old.
I run a couple of very small scale (mostly static content) web sites and E-mail serving and a few other services on a single "Cheapest VPS" and have never gotten interested in Puppet or Ansible or any of the other things mentioned in this thread. It just seems like adding abstraction and automation on top of things that are not worth abstracting or automating. To me, these things are Yet Another Software That Could Fail. When I need to change a configuration file, I ssh in, sudo vi /etc/blahblah.conf and get on with my life.
As in many public debates everybody was meddling in it.

It's fine if you want to defend monero's technology, but attacking the researchers credibility because of their association with a competing project? That's some weak sauce in my opinion.

One side is actually doing the work and publishing attacks, even if they are against zcash (shielding/deshielding). The other has some questionable twitter conversations about a hypothetical backdoor. Zcash zk-snarks are backdoored? Proof of concept or GTFO is the law of the land, my dude.
Bizarre headline. North Carolina has been an agricultural extractive export economy with all that goes along with that since the founding of the state. This isn't China, this is NC doing it to itself.

It doesn't help that NC has developing world levels of corrupt gerrymandered politics.
> Look at mainstream media like CNN

Lets be honest, CNN is just a tabloid now. All they want to talk about is Trumps sexcapades when there are so many other things they can focus on that really matter.
You may be lucky enough to enjoy limitless food and water, but a substantial part of the world does not and it's going to get worse before it gets better as our population approaches 10 billion in the next 30 years. A lot of that water is going to need to come from desalinization, which is basically an energy problem. Vertical farming may help us when it comes to agricultural water demand, but it's also very energy intensive. Both problems reduce to energy problems.
Loving this rhetorical flipover on HN from "nobody cares about ad companies being scumbags" to "its old everyone already knows about it, why is it such a big issue now"
Which is exactly why a feature like the one we're discussing has been included in Photoshop for ages, along with stuff like custom swap space management for image buffers? :P
The way I see it is that my identity is a set of fallible memories which are stored in my brain. If I write some of those memories down in a notebook, journal or diary, have I extended my mind?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see how. If I write about the first house I grew up in, and then forget all about it, can that old notebook recognise the extant building? If I hold the closed notebook in my hand, waft it around a bit, will we recognise the house? For recognition to happen there has to be some matching or prediction of sensory data by memory data. All of which takes place in a fairly small volume and time window, within the brain. Extended body, yes. Extended memory, yes. 'Extended mind', not so much. Not yet.
> Of course I agreed, but its all their fault because I didn't know what I agreed to

This might sound counter-intuitive at first glance, but nevertheless can make sense, legally speaking.

Let's begin with an extreme example: Say someone holds a gun to your head, and forces you to sign an unspecified agreement. In that case, undisputibly, it is all their fault, and you don't know what you agreed to. Clearly, this would not be legally binding.

Well, there are less extreme examples which also lead to results that are not legally binding. Sometimes, these are part of consumer protection laws. In some jurisdictions, these might even be part of common contract law.

Or, to use the best example: "agreements" of this sort will almost certainly be null and void under the GDPR.
If you agree with some of the things he says, why are you disgusted?
AI beats cardiologists in task analyzing heart scans
> They had been observing us (in the palace) and drawing our portraits without our noticing it. This is a custom of theirs, I mean making portraits of all who pass through their country. In fact they have brought this to such perfection that if a stranger commits any offence that obliges him to flee from China, they send his portrait far and wide. A search is then made for him and where so ever the person bearing a resemblance to that portrait is found is arrested.

Facial recognition! How did this craft/profession arise historically?
Sadly I've found that post-diagnosis, at least when it comes to something that can be 'hidden' pretty well, like Aspergers, even just mentioning the diagnosis often makes things worse (especially around said assholes).
> Instead of trying to get the latest version it's going to try to get the oldest.

Err, no. For each library it uses the newest version of the library that is used by any of its dependents (including transitive dependents).

See https://research.swtch.com/vgo-mvs

Especially the line: Simplify the rough build list to produce the final build list, by keeping only the newest version of any listed module.

Different major versions are considered different libraries essentially.

To be honest I thought this was all obvious and I'm sure this approach has been recommended by Go people in the past.

It has another nice advantage over Rust's system - you have have pre-releases of major versions. Rust doesn't really have a way to do that except for releases before version 1.0.

In other words when you want to do some incompatible changes and release version 2 of your library there's no good way to put test versions of it on Crates.io.
True, but consider the following:

1) The people themselves don't know how easily they are manipulated.

2) Facebook analyses this about them, and helps other businesses to use this against them.

3) They do not know Facebook helps other businesses to use this against them.

That's problematic. At the very least, #3 should be solved ie. they should be informed beforehand because then at the very least they're informed about the malpractices. You can then make a case about it being allowed, or not. But you cannot make any informed case if you don't even know it is occurring.
Oh man, you had a great point until you went off and decided to become a self-righteous douche at the end there. Just couldn't stick the dismount...

To your point: I think the better mechanism isn't taxation, but regulation/fines. And there was regulation in place, but one of the points of the articles is that government officials in these areas 1- tend to be controlled by these massive industries and 2- push legislation to gut the regulations in the interest of "job creation" (read- increased corporate profits)
AFAIK web assembly is not much faster than native javascript for general purpose code. I think the main usage of web assembly will be in optimising hot paths in math libraries, codecs and various performance sensitive code, but those are not critical parts for the majority of JS projects.
Agree. It took (e.g.) Microsoft et al too long to realize - for better or worse - the significance of Washington DC. Today, the stage is international, the flow of info more freely. That is, a couple of phone calls and it's possible to mobilize the FB platform against FB itself. Extreme? Yes, but possible.

FB, sooner or later, will regret this decision.

Ask HN: Which todo app are you using to manage daily tasks?
Hello Hackers,

There are tons of todo apps (or even note-taking apps) out there. I manage my tasks using Trello (earlier used Wunderlist). I was wondering what other hackers are using to manage their tasks. Are you using app? or plain old postIt notes (made of paper)?
I said it in a previous post but if the congress/senate were allowed to summon Tony Hayward, BP CEO, over the Deep Water Horizon disaster then the UK Parliament are well in their rights to summon, and expect attendance, of Zukerberg over this.

My understanding is that shielded transactions were made opt-in due to time and resource needs in computing their zero-knowledge proofs. Hopefully they can improve this and do away with unshielded transactions altogether in the future.
The difference is that Spectrecoin has no paper and no explanation how "stealth staking" works.
> No, it called public interest journalism.

There is little to no "public interest journalism" anymore, only click interest journalism.

> You can not have a character assassination on a corporation.

This is metaphor for the pattern of behavior. They are taking the same methods they use for the news cycle's "horrible person of the week" and turning it on Facebook.

> I'm more disturbed by your labeling something as "propaganda"

Considering the media's hyper focus on how the RNC used FB with the CA story, and an almost complete omission of how the DNC did the same thing, and more, with CTR, I'm comfortable sticking with "propaganda".
I'd only accept that type of equivalency when a corporation can be sent to a physical prison - like a real person.
Been seen as OK by whom?
What's with the entitlement here? These are people sacrificing their time and going largely unpaid (AFAIK) for their efforts. I for one am happy and grateful that these "dodgy" open source evangelists exist and offer us all a choice for free. If I have a subjective usability problem with their software, far more constructive to take the effort to try and fix it myself than complain like a diva.
For more women to be confident to have these traits, society need to start encouraging girls to be leaders, competitors, driven and independent individuals.

For reference, I am a woman but I am often discouraged to show leadership skills or be competitive with others, especially with guys at work. I can feel the air change when I exhibit these traits. People start to distant themselves from me because I don't fit the culture norm. I feel I can do a much better job if I showed more feminine traits like listening more and being empathetic and showing I'm a team player.

So yeah, it is easy for a guy to be critical because he has no experience in the matter!

I've watched Jordan Peterson's Personality lectures back when he had only a few hundred subscribers and have been amazed at his immense traction of late. His book is mostly a regurgitation and summary of his lectures with some political and personal anecdotes thrown in; however, I would still recommend it as a introduction to some of Peterson's thought system and mostly agree with the review.

Also add to that the huge amount of libraries available, great tooling, Flow and Typescript, and, even though it's kinda contrary to your point, all the compile-to-js languages that can leverage the JS ecosystem.
Again, in practice, this has not created real problems, which Russ Cox seems to fail to appreciate. I've been using Cargo for years, working with other programmers for years (including programmers using large Rust codebases in production at large companies), and teaching programmers new to Rust (both online and off) for even longer. The number of times I have had crate resolution abort, or found the heuristic-chosen dependencies undesirable, or seen any other person ever complain about either of the former: zero. My sample size is not small.

I respect Russ Cox's decision to favor different considerations for Go's versioning story. The approach of constraining to minimal versions is not bad, merely different (especially since the -u flag exists). But the framing of this as solving some problem with existing package managers is simply mistaken, as Russ would know if he had used these tools in practice, rather than instinctively reeling at the theoretical implications.

Announcing the Second Edition of “Refactoring”
Color to alpha is something that I am consistently surprised that Photoshop lacks, every time I try to use it for something.
I was expecting someone to mention GPDR, but as an obstacle more than a benefit. It seems importing your Facebook data, which includes messages and connections with other people, into a new service, may run afoul of GPDR. That’s not even to mention the legal hellstorm Facebook would rain down on any startup using such a tool successfully.

It’s interesring that GPDR forces Facebook to allow export, but may cause problems with importing that data elsewhere. The hand giveth, the hand taketh away.
Google banned the product that this article is about; Facebook cozied up to them. So far only for Facebook evidence has surfaced of these very shady practices. See the difference?

vs.

Dear Mark Zuckerberg,
How do we get those doors open for women in order for them to have more opportunity? How do we make sure they have every opportunity available to them to experience a secure middle class lifestyle?

This issue strikes particularly close to home for me, as my mother took off for about a decade and worked odd jobs in Nevada while wrestling with mental health issues.
What is `ss`-equivalent of `netstat -atpn`?
I'm genuinely not sure what you want to talk about if values and feelings are excluded.

Your original comment calls HN an echo chamber and suggests that people who work at Apple, Uber and Palantir are afraid to express their political views. That's entirely about feelings. What specifically was it that you wanted to discuss there?

Maybe it's not helpful to make a joke of it. But I honestly think it's a ridiculous notion that people with six-figure salaries and stock options are somehow being discriminated against — in a society that's built to support them at every step.
Putting 'statistically' in front of a fully subjective statement doesn't make it magically objective (or true).
> performance-critical code will use that instead

Yes, but how much of the browser code out there is is truly performance critical.

For a lot of code out there it is important that it perform well enough but it won't see much benefit from WebAssembly because of bottlenecks elsewhere (the DOM, the user, the network). Keeping the maintainability benefits JS currently has over WA is a bonus worth paying a small performance price, but you still want that price to be as small as practically possible.

As WA and the toolchanins for which it is the final compile target mature, this may change. But I suspect JS has a place, a place where performance considerations are often not insignificant, for some time to come, with WA for extra performance in truly critical areas (i.e. proper number crunching).
Because Facebook is both relevant news, and a huge company who's core business is our data in exchange for a service.
Yeah, but lets say you make a website and want to accept donations using bitcoins. What you generally do is put "donations welcome at <bitcoin address>!" (I see this all over the place). Are you saying that webmasters should write a script that generates these public/private keys on every page hit, and then somehow stores all of those millions of private keys... somewhere? On your server? Or do you have to build an entire infrastructure of key exchanges to some safe place just so you can accept bitcoin donations privately?
>would that be traceable by anyone who deal with my new wallet?

yes

>Would I need to use/trust some kind of 'washing' service to hide my transaction among several others?

congrats, you just reinvented mixers and coinjoins
Agreed. There is a very condescending implication that in "developing countries" everything universally is shitty.
Could you elaborate?

One thing I learned only post-diagnosis is that all the stuff I thought I did to figure out how to fit in, in hindsight, was extremely scattershot and not very rational. A lot of the lessons I never learned as well as I thought I did.

These days I try to be more methodical (keeping logs, lists of lessons, etc), in part because I'm allowing myself to lean more into my 'nature', and it's already proven effective.
But really, how big of an attack surface is there? By that I mean, how many people have external encrypted APFS drives?

By my estimation, I would guess the number is smaller than people think for a few reasons.

1. How many people who aren't technically saavy have external drives at all? If they do, it's probably a Time Machine volume. Which leads me to my second point...

2. Directory hardlinks - the tech which makes TM work - don't exist on APFS, so a fair number of these drives are probably still using HFS+, and last I checked, external SSDs of any sufficient capacity are still pretty costly, which brings me to the last point...

3. Given that APFS is really SSD-only (with a small asterisk for Fusion Drives), converting a TM volume on a spinning disk is a recipe for pain.

I'm not excusing the bug, only reiterating that its effect is probably less than you might imagine among people who aren't nerds (or HN readers for that matter).
Sure, but the idea of "developing economies" is an actual thing in economic theory. And what the industries are doing is being exploitative in the same way that many nations use globalization as a way to exploit poorer, less established economic players.

There are nations who came to the globalization table later or who haven't put together an economic plan that provides a high quality of living for their citizens. What would you prefer we call those nations?

> Sure, the major frameworks may move to wasm under the hood, but the users of the library will still likely be coding in ES6. We will probably see a lot of APIs where the backend is implemented in wasm with a friendly, scriptable frontend in typical ES6.

Why? If WASM has access to the DOM, and it's competitive in terms of performance - why would JS still by the goto? At that point, people will just choose whatever language they want, I don't see JS having an advantage there any longer. Especially since many people don't want to use JS to begin with, but have been forced to.

> That said, I’m actually skeptical wasm will ever find much of a use case with the DOM. The browser itself is already heavily optimized for working with the DOM, so wasm is unlikely to be competitive in speed except for specific use cases.

I'll be sad if that is true. Though, I'd even be willing to take minor performance hits to use the languages/etc I want. How much of a hit I'd be willing to take would really depend on the application needs, of course.
Have you ever explored the dichotomy of religion and spirituality? We tend to think of them as synonymous but to me they represent two different things that are often coincident. The word "Religion" comes from latin words meaning "to bind together" and this to me suggests it's more about the collective, whereas "spirituality" is more about individual experience.

So religion is the whole thing of living by a particular moral code, going to church every sunday, marrying within your creed etc. it's a very "wordly" concept.

Spirituality then is the whole "higher consciousness" "explaining the unexplainable" thing.

We can be religious without being spiritual, and spiritual without being religious. Ayn Rand for instance, or much of modern atheism serve as examples of the former. Ayahuasca, psychodynamicm, meditation etc. the latter.

Of course we often have the two come together as they complement each other quite well but we often see spirituality subjugated by religion, or people scared off spirituality by it's religious connotations.

The doctrine of “corporate personhood” is the the claim that corporations should enjoy the same legal status and protections as citizens. Even if you subscribe to that doctrine it does not produce a single person whose reputation can be harmed.

>> I simply don't have time to engage with his lectures. I've seen all the summaries and they're just something I don't need.

Then it's easier to understand how you came by your opinions of him. Quite a bit harder, if you'll excuse me, to understand why you wrote more statements about him than anyone else in the thread, though.

>> I don't believe he's on the level of any of those people you've put up him up alongside.

I agree with this 100% (and would bet my entire net worth that Peterson does too), did not intend to give that impression at all, and edited my comment to reflect that.
Thanks! I didn't knew about -o.

My most common grep phrase is
