When even RMS isn't progressive enough for you... crazy.

Something that has stood out for me in the the modern political climate is that progressives tend to claim all of this is ultimately to protect us from fascists. And it tends to be what you are accused of being (or at least an enabler of) if you stand in the way of their policies. I've had long debates with radical leftist friends and we always somehow end up at fascism. I'm a useless center-left, fence sitting, Nazi enabler according to them.

But many of the loudest public voices (from all sides of the political spectrum) advocating for free speech are Jewish or have Jewish heritage. Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Sam Harris, Eric and Bret Weinstein, RMS and probably many more that I don't know of.

Jews are the O.G. of oppressed minorities and are often the strongest advocates for free speech, science, democracy and so on.

Maybe we should listen?

Feel free to correct me. There may be some selection bias going on.

Side note: I really like that Person/Pers/Perse idea. It sounds little odd at first, but it's the best gender-neutral pronoun I've heard so far and we really do need one.

Do you get into a car and start having a conversation with the driver how much money they make? I can’t imagine anything more rude to do to a driver!
As a small business owner, I find Twitter useful for sharing news on product updates, articles/tutorials and new features. Ironically, this has cost me $0.0 so far.
At least for the most common forms of obfuscation, pixellation and fuzz, why do you need AI for this? It seems conceptually simple to interpolate from several similar but moving frames, how a small obfuscated feature travelled across a huge pixel boundary to cause the small change in the entire oversized pixel.

You'd need I, be it AI or the normal kind, to invent a guess from a single frame. But watch frames that each differ a little over time, and you should be able to deobfuscate pixellation and fuzz with plain math.

Conceptually simple. Not saying I could knock it out over the weekend, just that there doesn't seem to be a mystery about how to proceed that puts it into "throw some ai at it and see if anything happens by ai magic" territory.
I’ve been using tpope’s excellent unimpaired.vim¹ to handle toggling paste for me², but will probably switch as vim-bracketed-paste is automatic.

I only bring up unimpaired.vim as it provides a whole heap of neat mappings for other toggles you might be manually performing. Most of which follow a simple pattern that makes them easy to remember.

I don’t believe any other plugin has increased my productivity as much as unimpaired.vim. Popping up the doc to link to the YOPO note I’ve realised just how many of those next/previous bindings I use as muscle memory.

Doesn't seem to work for Eador. Even with both of those options checked it installs the Linux version and doesn't seem to have an option for anything else. I was hoping there would be a dropdown by the install button asking which version I wanted, but it was just a regular install button and it gave me the broken Linux version.

Thank you. I'm going to quote it, and keep quoting it, at the "developer time is more important than machine time" crowd - the one that then goes and externalizes all this "machine time", making it "user's time (and electricity)".

Not true in the first few states I checked. The closest is Wisconsin, where the motorist "must stop at a yellow light except when the motorist is so close to the intersection when the light turns yellow that it’s unsafe to do so" [1].

In other words, you're wrong. Also, there are multiple degrees of illegal, and I'm certain the punishment for running a yellow light isn't of the same magnitude as the punishment for running a red light.

It seems that you like correcting people enough that you're biased towards believing in unintuitive things.

The distinction is syntactically important for JSON, IMO. Nobody wants to write integer keys for each element in an array.
I have yet to find a decent enough reason to use or even upgrade one. I have a feeling that this will be like 3D Tv's they will come back every couple of years or so with some company saying 'hey do you want this now? no? ok" and then disappearing again for a few years.

I think the biggest problem is that the FOV is tiny on these things, its good for a while, but I'd much rather use a giant screen than use googles where my head gets sweaty and takes a while to set up.
Microsoft serves abundant amounts of NSFW content on Bing, so I can't see this being a valid concern. I highly doubt Github is going to be censored.
Lots of negativity here, as is unfortunately typical at HN far too often these days. Especially given that this project is what HN is supposed to be about - done by a lone hacker with help from volunteers, trying to create a different and hopefully better social media. Sure, it may or may not work, it has all sorts of pros and cons, but I’d vote for being open-minded and constructive rather than cynical from the get go.

For what it’s worth, I played with it literally a couple of days ago. I found the set up very easy, the themes limited but decent, the functionality around creating posts and pages very fast and clean. It also has cross-posting to LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Medium built-in. I also found that $5/mo is perfectly acceptable - many blogs charge more. I absolutely loved that you could enable a GitHub Pages integration, de facto backing up your website for free.

On the con side, there are things you can’t customize (eg their default footer that says to follow the user, or their archive page), search is only present in some themes and also can’t be customized, and there is very limited information about the project overall. The lack of ability to add an option for email subscription also is a significant issue in my opinion.

I was investigating the project from a blogging point of view and concluded it is trying to be Twitter first and foremost so not a good fit. Still, it was a pleasure to discover something new, interesting, and reasonably clean and functional.
Optimized Sparse Merkle Tree for blockchain state authentication
You can enable it on Firefox nightly. I think the config name is something with shared_mem.
It's loaded into the kernel, but it's a kext (kernel extension) rather than being part of the xnu source tree itself. Only a subset of kexts are open source. (By comparison, HFS used to be in the xnu tree, but it was moved into a kext as well a few years back; that one is open source.)

It's just wank, clearly. They say that thing they think that some subdemographic of Twitter refugees want to hear, in the hope that it will resonate.

Ultimately promises that you'll be protected from being offended by communications of the broad public, when the whole purpose
of the site is ostensibly to communicate with the broad public, are empty. If you want to publish, you will receive criticism, both fair and unfair, good faith and bad; but since people keep trying to sell the idea that it can be "safe" to publish opinions, people continue to be let down when they find that untrue.
Using TOR not logged into anything does not. Perhaps you’re not following the instructions correctly.
>This feature is a pretty crystalline example of the kind of protocol change you can make when you control all the mainstream clients, and that would be an absolute nightmare for a protocol where you didn't.

If the feature is well-documented, and you announce it well-ahead of final release, why? Anyone who is actively maintaining their client can add the feature. Those who aren't will either be forked or die. Nobody said it was on the core product to update third party clients. See: AIM/ICQ and trillian.
Hardly surprising considering you are removing the cookies they use to remember you already passed the test.
Okay, I see your point now. Content discovery can be decomposed into "push" and "pull". In the 90s, searching was typically associated with pull. Over time, engines started providing a push component (e.g. autocomplete). It sounds like you want search engines to be mostly pull with less push.

You want the push to be more local to what you specifically choose to pull, which means greatly reducing the current scope of the push component. I guess that's fine, but a lot of people really like the push component, especially if they don't quite know what they're looking for. I think the whole of the two methods is more valuable than the sum of the parts.
I don't have any advice about it but just wanted to mention that Blender is also a video/audio editor with lots of filters and keyboard shortcuts out the wazoo. After making 3D models for a couple years, it blew my mind to hit the dropdown menu and go from "Default" to "Video Editing" -

I block Google domains on my main browser profile, and JavaScript by default.

I noticed if I encounter a recaptcha on a website, I just tend to abandon and seek information elsewhere. Last time I was presented with a recaptcha when setting a search filter on a website. No, thanks. This is too much of a pain to unblock everything and answer a recaptcha. I'll pass.

When I do answer a recaptcha in despair, this is a pain to do.
Uhhh... How in the world does this work?! This is amazing. I hate IDE's and Java, but this makes me want to use both of them.
If the project is truly "free" - build it in a way that can be passed down through generations: easily indexed with semantic data and without proprietary logins or fiddle-some navigation. archive.org would be a good long term home or some other long lasting and perpetually funded service, beyond what Harvard would spend its billions of alumni bucks on.

Lua is a big reason why I'm interested in both systems and PL today. I started using Lua to build game mods in high school, and I was struck by how simple it was compared with Java, or even Python that I had tried learning earlier. The all-encompassing "everything is a table" paradigm really sparked my interest in the design of systems of computation, and how a broad range of programing patterns could be expressed with a few primitives.

> How hard is it for me to slow down half a step and give her some relief?

Why would dropping back give relief? Seems to me, moving to the side as far as the sidewalk, etc., permits then accelerating to pass so you aren't behind is the better course of action.
My understanding is that the atomic memory operations you're talking about are a big step towards enabling more interesting features in the future.

I did a glancing read of the overall spec a while back and I remember seeing a few asides to the effect of "we'll have to tackle this as part of the threads effort."

Take it with a grain of salt though, I'm still digging into this stuff.
Generics in Go, even as proposed, would not be without some trade-offs in readability and orthogonality with interfaces. These are things Go currently excels at.

Its easy to imagine that adding an alternative UX in Signal for non-phone based contacts might complicate user flows. Creating a user-flow for alternative contact discovery without hurting the user experience for existing users I think is not simple and easy to underestimate.

Go and Signal both choose a set of trade-offs that consider both technical and human elements. I think this irks people that don't understand these trade-offs since the human side of trade-offs is harder to define or evaluate the importance of. Ergonomics plays a huge role in the ultimate value of Go and Signal to society.

Think of the username.micro.blog pages as your personal home page, like a Wordpress or Squarespace blog site. They're a hosting option for people who aren't tech-savvy enough to setup an RSS feed / 280-char micro-post RSS feed on their own site, or just don't want the hassle of maintaining that setup.

I believe others have tried posting similar XSS into a Micro.Blog post, and it gets filtered out in the timeline feed that followers read, whether on the site or via 3rd party clients. (Now if someone proves that wrong, that would be a big deal.)

Here is another anecdote. I was talking to a friend through a WhatsApp voice call. During the call he told me that he had just bought an air hockey table. Later that day when I logged in to Facebook, I see an ad for an air hockey table. Creeped the hell out of me.
It slows things down especially because the browser will likely have to layout/re-render the page everytime a new chunk of CSS arrives.

Generally avoid splitting CSS. Even if you don't use all your CSS on every page, a cached 100kb CSS file will outperform a bunch of unique-per-page 25kb CSS files everytime (especially since it's 0 requests for the second page). Except for dial-up probably.

It may be beneficial to split CSS files somewhere above the 300kb mark, but I wouldn't know. My one-page-app is only about 500kb over the wire, including CSS, JS, Fonts and HTML. ~30KB of that is CSS.

I've been optimizing that for years though.
Thanks for the info. I am aware of clarity.fm. I am thinking more a packaged advisor service like a group of advisors (e.g. one marketing, one product, one legal etc) to provide on-going very tactic advisors based on startups' context. Something like YC is offering in their core program but to every startup.

If you expect to evacuate from a local event, make some backpacking gear fitted with necessities and important stuff you need - tools,drugs/first-aid, documents,high-density foods. Like preparing an unexpected camping trip.

Bomb shelters and bunkers are for truly paranoid expecting doomsday scenarios occurring right on top on them, but basic preparedness is not particularly costly, unless you hoard tons of supplies that you can't use.
I’m skeptical of the advice to memorize answers. How important is this? It seems to me that memorizing them will make you seem robotic and un-engaging.

They may load async but JS parse + compile + execute takes up client device CPU cycles and can block the main thread from responding back to user actions immediately. More so on mobile devices. This, and the fact that a typical page has multiple such trackers can cause notable overhead.

No that is not the entire thing. That's just the abstract. The patent makes 63 claims. Claims are the only part of the patent document that matters for litigation.
Open Source needs to evolve in such a way to attract corporate entities to fund research via donations or investments.

Right now there are a few operating systems not based on BSD Unix or Linux called ReactOS, Haiku, and AROS that were created via open source and need funding or corporate investment to make them reach Windows or OSX level quality and marketability. Modern apps need to be made for these operating systems that is the weakness. Modern apps that can use the DOCX or ODF files or whatever the standard Windows and OSX systems use.

OSFree is an OS/2 rewrite that really could use help, I think it is a good idea but it isn't even ready for prime-time.

Businesses only see money and how to make it, by having IP. So they don't want to develop for OSS and give away IP and take a risk in being sued if the code goes wrong and deletes files (Like the Windows 10 October 2018 update did). The Open Source organization doesn't see making money and only wants to write the best code on a budget and have quality results. Businesses want cheaper programmers and lower quality code as long as deadlines are met.

Yeah Oracle buying out Sun and dumping OpenOffice.org and trying to downplay MySQL to promote their own database are two examples of how a business can mess up OSS. Yet still VirtualBox is a good VM in my opinion and I am glad they kept that.

Open Source organizations I believe do a better job at quality with a benevolent dictator accepting patches like Linus with Linux. I doubt a company can make such a good quality, but Linus does it without the billions of dollars of funding in R&D. He does it with hobbyists and volunteers.

HFS+ was first released for Mac OS 8.1 in 1998. The earliest source code I see is from Mac OS X 10.0, which was released in March of 2001 (not sure when the source was released). The first iPod was released in October of 2001 which used HFS+. I imagine by the time that code was released it had been battle hardened quite a bit.

Funny you should mention RPM's, since that's one of the packaging formats we perform configuration management in.

I have my own configuration management framework which can add and remove configuration from files that each package brings on. It's written in AWK. No knowledge is required to use it - configuration packages deliver just their configuration files' excerpts. In addition to being able to template them with regular shell variables, self-assembly is supported as well.

Thanks for the insight. Though every startup wants to get the best advisors in theory. They might also be OK to get good enough advisor based on their stage. For example, a pre-seed startup might find valuable to get advice from an A-round founder. Any thoughts on that?

Micro blog doesn't seem to be solving this problem
It's not any different, they all suck. Read my reply above to the author on how it was solved cleanly without needing to hack anything, just deliver a config excerpt via an OS package and it works.
