It is generational, rather than tied to education. Even very well-educated Koreans born before around 1980 tend to believe in this. I would say it is close to 100% of people over 40. My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles would call you stupid for not believing in it. My doctor believed in it. Younger people believe in it less often but it is still very common.

There were a lot of interesting factiods in this article, but it didn't come together for me into a cohesive piece.

The US has no honorable reason for being in the Middle East - if it did, it would also have invaded large chunks of Africa, probably North Korea, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be a US ally and maybe send some troops into a few well chosen South American countries for good measure. The world is horrible, and it is highly suspicious that the Middle East was the first mob in need of 'saving'.

With that observation as a premise, it is questionable that the US military is reporting their objectives honestly. I think I can keep track of who the current bad guys are, but I can't keep track of which ones were US allies or created by US adventures over the past 20 years.

If the take-away is the US military would be more effective with flamethrowers then that makes sense to me. If the argument is that they are struggling to achieve their objectives in the Middle East then I assume they are lying about what they are trying to achieve.
QUIC is a general protocol, it's just that the only significant customer for the fancy features today is HTTP. Speaking QUIC means accepting a non-trivial connection refusal rate (for HTTP you fall back to HTTP/2 or 1.1) because some corporates block it, so if you don't want the extra features you probably wouldn't want QUIC.

This document is about doing HTTP on QUIC, so it's renaming itself HTTP/3, the main QUIC document is as you've described it 'generic'
I'm pretty sympathetic to this! But for the most part you pretty much can? AFAICT Google Takeout lets you download pretty much everything.

The only big controversy I'm aware of is trying to download your social graph from Facebook. You can't even export your friends' email addresses! But... this was a big controversy a few years ago when Google was pissed that Facebook would import all your Gmail addresses but FB wouldn't let them be exported back out. It seems like the privacy advocates argued Facebook's side of this.

You can have data portability, or you can keep data private. Without crazy DRM schemes, you can't have both.

> High meat cultures never produced the longest living people.

This is a lie.

Spain has the fourth longest living country in the world according to the WHO, and ranks 11th in the world in meat consumption at 97 kg per person according to the FAO.

Australia, tied at 4th with Spain in life expectancy, consumes a whooping 111 kg per person, 3rd in the world.

Japan and Iceland, first and fifth in life expectancy, consume metric shittons of fish.

How would you bend this crushing evidence to support the argument that "high meat cultures don't produce the longest living people"?
The whole notion of "just wars" and the opposing "wars of aggression" is pure propaganda by warmongers. The victors write the histories and always claim to be just. The other side is always the aggressor. There will be war. There will always be war so long as there are human beings. Like it or not. Downvote me or not, it's an observable reality. And we here deal in observable reality, do we not?

I dumped my trusty UV box and stacks of chemicals earlier this year, developed some patience and get JLCPCB to do the honours. It’s cheaper for me to run a not too small 2 layer board there than pay for the substrate and consumables here and the boards are several orders of magnitude better.

Plus you really can’t spin a decent SMD board at home.

I opened the paper hoping to see some examples of images that look to me like one thing on first glance, and something else on closer inspection. The best image is the one with the spider on a blurred-snake background, and that's not going to trick anyone who looks at it for more than a second.

The humans were shown each image for either 63ms or 71ms. That's 1-2 frames of a movie. So whilst the result is important, it's not as surprising as you might expect.

I think that's the most important differentiator evil has.

Embedding vim-style editing in an IDE or less extensible editor might get you 90% of what you want from Vim, but that 10% can be a dealbreaker depending on your workflow. Without easy extensibility, you might not be able to get that last 10% at all.

I'd say evil starts out a little better, maybe 95% out of the box, but now you have all the power of emacs to make up that last 5% and then start to go even further if you're not content then.
I’ve done a ton of those boards with JLCPCB now. I think possibly 200 boards. It’s ridiculously cheap.

They’re the best of the lot as well.

I’ve tried others but they all seem to have layer registration problems or screw up the edges of your boards when panelising them (OSHpark do that)

If you want to make your first PCB for the simplest of projects this is overkill.

Instead:

+ Etch it in ferric chloride in a plastic takeaway tub

If it is too hard to draw with marker pen, then it is time to get the boards made for you from one of the links in this thread. The method in this article just looks frustrating.

Why, in particular have you become more pessimistic about the timelines for robotics? I've also been headed this way, but it's as a complete outsider of the field simply extrapolating directionality comparing promises to deliverables with the former exponentially outpacing the seemingly linear, at best, progress of the latter. Interestingly the same is also true of many other fields from genetics, to AI, to molecular nanotechnology. The latter being a radical example of something going from 'the next big thing to revolutionize society' to all but disappearing in a period of < 10 years.

Kicad is easy enough. I just followed the tutorial.
I think we have some of these things in the Netherlands as well, people believe (among others):

* Air draft causes a stiff neck

* Freezing meat twice and eating it will make you sick

* Cold in general will make you sick ("catch a cold")

* If you hold your poo to long, you can never poo (well) anymore (from the grandparents, pretty sure they believed it, actually it may be true to a certain degree but they used to go when one need to go asap.)

I'm sure I'll come up with more.

What? If anything, WhatsApp has become a better product since its acquisition. It is currently the simplest, most reliable, ad-free messenger out there, which also supports state of the art end-to-end encryption for its millions of users.

Let's see how they deploy ads. But it would be a shame that WhatsApp shut downs because Facebook cannot monetize the application. If anything, I'm glad they're going this route instead of charging a fee to use the app.

> without having actually researched how QUIC works

I have evaluated QUIC, as reliable stream protocols on UDP are something I have a professional interest in.

> QUIC is the next iteration of TCP

Its not designed for that.

> That it lives on top of UDP (& might ship that way) is an implementation detail due to the realities of how the Internet is built

no, its fundamental. You can't just swap out TCP with UDP and have done with it. If we ignore the Datagram vs stream aspect, we are left with implementing our own flow control, packet loss and authentication.

Which is where my comment comes in, with a TCP socket, if someone tries to inject spoofed packets, (assuming we in a non-LAN environment) those packets will be rejected long before they reach us. In UDP no such guarantees exist.

Thats not considering flow control, which is a whole 'nother issue. Its always a trade-off between efficiency, speed and reliability.
Thanks for the post OP. Nice to be back on the HN homepage again.

We launched Radio Garden almost two years ago. Since four months I have shifted from doing RG on the side to giving it my full attention. We are doing millions of monthly visitors from all over the world. Now our mission is to build out the platform in such a way that people can use it as their main destination for radio.

We are currently focusing on putting out some much needed features like search. Next up will be some great curation features to help guide you to stations you care about and also surprise you with hard to find gems.

Happy to answer any questions!

TXR Lisp comes with an accurate syntax definition file for Vim (and only Vim). Well, not exactly "comes with": txr.vim is in the root directory of the source tree. Some distros seem to package that, like Arch.

The whole project was developed using Vim.

Vim supports normal Common Lisp out-of-the-box. Just save your file under a .cl or .lisp suffix.

In 18 years of working with Lisp in Vim, I never had a problem. Never installed a plugin or did anything special (other than developing that syntax file for TXR Lisp). At most I played with the content of :lispwords; that's about it.

I agree with you: if the subscription has to be by the user, the subscribed entity is managed like other contacts and I never get unsubscribed messsges/requests I would surely like to subscribe to the info that actually matters to me directly (conceptually opposite to “following feeds” on twitter).

> * Freezing meat twice and eating it will make you sick

That's not unreasonable. There are different ways to give the safety advice:

1) Don't do it. https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/how-to-store-food-and-...

or

2) It's fine so long as the meat defrosted in the fridge, and your fridge is keeping the correct temperature. Don't re-freeze meat kept out of the refridgerator for longer than 2 hours. https://food.unl.edu/it-safe-refreeze-raw-meat-and-poultry-h...

Sometimes the simpler message is safer.
India is actually in the top three countries visiting Radio Garden. We believe internet access and costs do indeed affect how many stations can afford to be online. Another reason is that in certain regions, stations tend to use streaming formats like Windows Media Audio, which is not supported on the web. We have a submission system and actively add all submitted stations. A few hundred a week are added to the database.
I manage quite well without it, and many other Dutch do too. I will fight for a society that doesn't depend on a tool that can only be used by getting into a legal agreement with Facebook and makes owning either an Android or IOS smartphone a requirement.

Build something with it. More specifically, need to build something with it.

I learned C by writing a video game using it (so far in the past that it was the only real option for games).

I learned VB by taking a job at a shop that used it, then C# when that shop migrated to .NET.

I learned Ruby because that was the best maintained AWS library back in 2006, and my stuff was failing due to things their C# libs couldn't yet fix.

I learned Python by taking a job building a site with Google AppEngine back when Django was its framework of choice.

I recently (re-)learned Java by taking a contract gig at a java shop.

It helps if there is some code already written, so that you can see what things are supposed to look like and get a feel for how things work in that language. I find that I can drop in to a new codebase in an unfamiliar language and make meaningful contributions on day one, if there are bugs that need fixing or simple features that need tacking on.

Talking with other devs, it sounds like my experience is pretty typical. A straw poll showed that nearly half the devs on that Java gig were C# guys who either had never used the language or hadn't touched it in years. We all got bit by (myString == "whatever") never returning true at least once, but for the most part it's just computer programming. Once you know how to do that, the language itself isn't too important.

I remember how impressed with myself I was when I learned to simply follow the instructions that said "press ^] to escape" when using the King County Library System's telnet menu system.

That is to say, the library computer system presented you a menu with a very small number of telnet destination options you chose by number. But if you chose one, and hit the escape sequence, it would gasp escape, and then you just had to know the 'open' command to telnet ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

You could also access the library system remotely, but I can't remember how or why this mattered -- maybe it was from another menu system that didn't allow escapes, or maybe there was a dialup option, or... something. In any event, you could hop from one place, into KCLS, use the menu to telnet, break out of the connection, and open a connection to another place. It was like magic.
