I street raced in the Bronx and NYC during the mid to late 70's: packs of wild dogs roamed the streets, burned out buildings as far as the eye could see, and every drug known to Man was sold openly. Back then it had the highest murder rate per capita in the country. I lived through it... but I was lucky I was never shot--came real close from a Crip one night after I waxed his ass, but he didn't fire the gun he had pointed at my face, sheer luck that. Criminals kill people just because they can. That's a fact. You probably never spent enough time alone in a dangerous place frequented by dangerous people.

I wrote a fair bit of go at my old job and I just finished a small internal rust utility at my current job. i liked go at first but then got completely fed up with the error handling, the module/folder nonsense, having to define the same function over and over for different primitive types when it came up, and nil. so I picked up rust. it's miles better. the syntax is not as bad you imagine - my utility is about 1000 lines and there are no lifetime parameters anywhere. the functional stuff is clean (closures, iterators, match). there are real enums (none of that iota nonsense) which as a "mature" developer have become integral to the design of any system for me. writing macros is easy (basically just like code gen in go). the borrow checker isn't that hard to satisfy - only one thing was a head scratcher and #rust-beginner helped me out there. cargo is great and so is RLS. there are a surprisingly large number of libraries given how young the language is (fewer than go for sure but enough that I didn't have to implement anything tedious myself). I mean it's just an all around pleasant experience and you're guaranteed to be writing performant (zero cost abstractions) safe code. how can you beat that? the only thing I miss from go are goroutines and the lightning fast compiler (but the rust compiler is plenty fast for how much it does). so I will probably use rust for everything other than what's fit for a python script from now on.

From her Webpage: "All member states of the EU have to welcome refugees and support each other in this task. We want to abolish the border security agency Frontex. We must ensure safe entry for all those who wish to claim their right of asylum in the EU."

It is people like her who kill Europe. By letting huge amounts of people with low educational background, tribal societies, low threshold for violence, different attitude towards women flood Europe you create the exact same problems in Europe that made these people leave their countries.
My biggest complaint about Rimworld, and in fact most games, is the lack of causality in random events. This is caused by developers giving up on this complexity in favor of just rolling dice. Just because it's hard to provide a UI that can express these things doesn't make for a satisfying experience by completely ditching the sense that events have causes. When an event has a cause, it gives the player a feeling of agency, and when it's just a roll of the dice that you can make go away by reloading the save file from a few seconds before, they're no longer disasters, but just random bullshit the game throws at you for the sake of making things hard. It feels cheap and lame.

If you get raided, you should be able to scout the caravan before it arrives. If bugs tunnel under your base, your ground penetrating scanner should detect them in time to get in position to defend. The list goes on, and the solutions to the UX challenges are there, if developers didn't simply throw their hands up and say "Welp, that's just too much UX for me!"

The game that got randomness right was Diplomacy. There's no dice rolling at all, but the randomness is there because you don't know what 6 other people are going to do when you put in your orders, but you rely on them holding to their agreements for the success of your own moves. It's a very satisfying mechanic because randomness is still causal. Randomness truly represents your lack of information, and can be mitigated by your ability to extract reliable information from the other players. When you get screwed by randomness, it doesn't feel like arbitrary bullshit. Knowing that effects have causes is crucial for people's ability to form a narrative about their experience.

What isn't necessary is to simulate reality down to the smallest detail, which is what I feel like most people try to do when they end up complaining that it's too complex to present to the user and has minimal effect on gameplay. One needs to be smart about simulating the things that do have an effect on gameplay by focussing on narrative mechanics, and not just trying to recreate physics.

In short, the solution to complexity is not getting rid of it and replacing it with unsatisfying random chance, but instead to create a renormalized model that eliminates the extraneous degrees of freedom.
Not my intent to make a troll comment. But, yes, "the subway" in NYC does STILL smell like pee and vomit in many places and, yes, it is chaotic. That's been my impression of subways in many but not all cities.

I think that it's possible to do better. I question why so many cities allow their public spaces to decay to such a low level while others seem to cherish their spaces.

I was expecting a post trying to convince me to care about federated servers for my social media, but it made some decent points.

Most key strokes in vim have roughly the same meaning in kakoune. My switch to kak two years ago was quite easy, maybe a week or two until I felt as comfortable – even though I used vim for nearly a decade. So I really recommend to at least try it, if you want to.
Writing in LaTeX is a bad recommendation indeed. It's huge (my install is over 5gb) it's slow (my thesis took minutes to render), hard to work with, has terrible error messages, and it is beyond difficult placing figures where you want them.

It is the easiest syntax for equations, but not everyone needs those. It does look better than Word, but it is a very high cost for a bit of good-looking.
I highly recommend https://github.com/softcover/softcover see dogfooded demo http://manual.softcover.io/book

It's the only ePub generation strategy that I know of that doesn't butcher the math.

I used to get sleep paralysis a lot when I was younger. It could be fairly terrifying sometimes. I remember the scariest i was probably as a teenager lying on my stomach while it felt like someone eas holding me down with the blankets. The first one i remember i was pretty young. My brother and me still shared a room and had bunk beds. I remember waking up one morning and watched a giant spider crossing the ladder towards my face and freaking out but not being able to move or yell or anything. Then suddenly I could and the spider was gone.

When I actually learned what it was I tried lucid dreaming and stuff with it. But, I always find the feeling uncomfortable. I don't like not being able to move or do anything while your dreams mix with your bedroom.

It doesn't happen so much now. Every once in a while if I wake up in the morning and go back to sleep, the second time I wake up it'll happen. I don't tend to sleep in any more and once i'm awake I get up.

I don't know if it's related but i've always had problems sleeping. When I was young I was scared to sleep, even as a baby i didn't sleep well. I can usually fall asleep alright now but the slightest noise in the night wakes me up and I still feel wary about losing conciousness.

I recently joined Twitter and I have to agree that Retweets are the most cancerous part.

Accounts with many followers act like schoolyard bullies with their gang of yes men.

I still see federation as being too niche, but it doesn't have to be that way! I think in an ideal situation, federated servers would rely more on physical location than on deviant niche hobbies or addictions.

The Smith family should have a server (or your neighborhood should) rather than cyberpunk.furry.foxes. Because the reality is that people are more than just one thing and the concept breaks down when you start discussing action movies or cryptography on your @steve@luddite.peace account.

I think secure-scuttlebutt goes for more of the real world location-based server concept a bit. But I think most people prefer the peace of mind of some kind of administration being possible if needed.
The last item in this list is really disappointing and gives the rest of the article a lot less credibility, which is too bad. Most of these are good examples of things that users should be outraged about - they are deliberate decisions made by companies or their employees to further their own interests on the backs of and at the expense of their users without their consent. While I’m no Amazon fan, I’m pretty convinced that the last example of an Alexa malfunction really was an unintended bug. Conflating the two types of situations makes it easy for people to write this off as biased.
An 8yr old can write software and post it to github. An 8yr can't build a house or car from scratch (two things who's construction is regulated).

My point being software is harder and possibly impossible to regulate. Is all open source going to be banned unless it's been written by licensed certified programmers and gone through review by an appointed inspector? That seems untenable.

Yeah Julia is really easy to pick up if you're a computer science person. I came across Julia when searching for a language with good linear algebra support, then I learned it over a week while implementing a paper I was reading. Two weeks later I implemented an improvement to that paper, which turned out to be very publishable. I basically owe a whole paper to Julia, which almost felt like a free paper lol.
I've been reading stuff like that for years. But is there, somewhere, a thorough explanation of how these "stolen" data are actually used against us, how they are valued, by whom, etc. ? (I didn't look in Google). Not some ideological explanation ('cos we all understand that the data collection induces weakens us against big-corp), but concrete, such as "this advertiser has done this kind of (horror) stuff using that kind of google collected data". I ask 'cos advertising doesn't look that dangerous to many people; it doesn't have the blood of us customers on its hands.
I'm honestly curious how you envision that affiliate links might create the wrong incentives. There are other ways to make money, but the ones I can think of seem much worse. Advertising sucks and clearly has more wrong incentive problems. Donations are less predictable and disconnected from the usefulness of the site. It seems to me that getting a small cut of "hey this book does look useful, I think I'll buy it!" is as well-aligned as it gets. But I'm interested in your thoughts on this!

> As a result, Mastodon users basically never boost toots to say how wrong they are, and there isn't an issue with armies of followers descending on the original author.

Because Mastodon is full of like-thinking people, and the ones they'd strongly disagree with aren't joining.

This isn't a bad thing (it's the "local" point this post makes), but it's important to emphasize this as the primary factor responsible for people being nicer, above any design decisions the author is complimenting. Keeping people civil is easy when there are ten thousand times fewer and they all voted socialist.

I checked the mastodon.social local timeline and fewer than 1% of posts were tagged, so I don't see how that's going to make a big difference to my experience.

South Korea regulated their software security!

That's why even this decade, people were required to use Internet Explorer 6 with ActiveX enabled, to access online banking, because it was the only system the government considered secure enough. We're talking well after IE6 had become a distant memory in the rest of the world.

Are you sure you want governments to regulate software security?
I have actually been doing some of this in my area for crabapple trees. Not necessarily to eat them, but I find it useful to clean up the sidewalk and dump the fallen crabapples in my compost.

>Finally, with instances, you keep control: if you find that you don't like the moderation policies or culture of a particular instance, you're always free to pick up and move to a different one.

Last I heard, Mastodon didn't support migration between instances while still keeping followers, etc. Instead, you have to essentially start from scratch with a new account on a new instance. This is a serious problem because it strongly discourages exodus; Twitter itself shows that people will put up with a lot of nonsense before leaving to alternatives because they've cultivated a brand and a following and don't want to lose it all. Moderators of instances are not a static thing; like any political system it shifts with whoever is in charge over time. An instance that seemed friendly to a user initially can over time become more oppressive to them, but the user has invested so much into that instance that they would have to leave behind that they'd put up with it when they shouldn't have to.
It is a fig leaf intended to discourage age discrimination.
Funny story, I maintain a resume in html format. One time I applied for a job, and their online application rejected my upload, telling me it had to be PDF, Word, or plain text format. In frustration I copy/pasted the text content into an emacs buffer (not the html itself, just the text shown in the browser). I tried to pretty it up a bit, but forgot to save my final draft, so the interviewers got a resume that started like this:

;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation.
;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,
;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer.

What followed was extremely poorly formatted plain text.

Needless to say, I felt really embarrassed to find this out during the interview, and was baffled that the internal recruiter had even considered me.

I got the job.
