While this is complete conjecture, I don't think the ability to ascertain truth from falsehood is uniquely age related; I believe it comes down to the age of media you were raised in. That's not to say it age doesn't play a factor at all, as cognitive function does decline as you get older. Unfortunately we don't have the data to control for generational changes, so 'older people' and 'the current older generation' are used synonymously. In my opinion, younger generations have become better accustomed to the bombardment of lies, in the form of new age marketing, that older generations didn't have growing up (at least, weren't as acutely aware of). That is compounded with the fact that people become more trusting of their chosen form of media over time [1]. If you've grown up with a small amount of media to choose from, and develop a loyalty to a certain one, it's a hard cycle to break out of.

Anecdotally, it seems to me that the older people I know only consume information from 1-3 sources, whereas younger people tend to flip-flop between many different ones. So if any of that small pool of media sources becomes untrustworthy it 'poisons the water', so to speak, much quicker.

To add to this, modern forms of media often have instant feedback mechanics (article comments, suggested counter-articles, up-vote/down-vote functions etc.) that can control fake news to a small extent. If someone shares fake news on HN for example, I can read the discussion and be made aware of any falsehood in the article. Traditional paper and television media does not have this control mechanism. Take note, I'd argue that this argument shouldn't apply to Facebook (which happens to be the most used website for over 50's). Their algorithm favours popularity over anything else so even if people react negatively to it (angry react), it only serves to spread fake news further.

After reading about solitary confinement I wanted to test myself by staying in the bathroom in my finished basement for a weekend. I'd have sunlight through a small window, a toilet, sink, and would have my wife bring me meals 2-3 times a day.
I figured this was pretty similar to real solitary confinement with the main differences being I'd be sleeping on the floor and could leave at any time.
Unfortunately she refused to participate so I never did it, but I'd like to think I could have easily competed it.

I wonder if this was true it wouldn't still be possible to use hyperspace as a weapon. I wonder what would happen if you tried to exit hyperspace in the same position as another ship. Hyperspace feels a lot like teleportation and if you can teleport arbitrary stuff to arbitrary positions then it severely breaks combat and gives you a completely different equilibrium than the StarWars universe. Is there something stopping someone from hyperspacing a small ship with a nuclear warhead into a larger ship?
I’m not at all saying they should be an expert after a week. But learning those things is part of being a software developer/programmer and I don’t think, “Well the language sucks” is a valid argument.

I think this article has an important lesson. Here is his graph now: https://lichess.org/@/peidi

He quickly dropped those 200 points right back. In chess there is luck. Not luck like you hit a 9:1 longshot on the draw from a deck, but in other ways. Ratings don't account for personal differences. There are plenty of situations, all the way to the world champion, where you will have 3 players A,B,C of about the same rating. But A crushes B who crushes C who crushes A. One of the most famous here was Kasparov > Shirov > Kramnik > Kasparov. Keep getting paired as 'A' to your 'B' and you can hit a major hot streak.

There are also simple practical things. It's not uncommon to run into a player that's drunk, exhausted, on tilt, or whatever else that's just completely throwing them off their game. Which probably leads to maybe the most important point. In chess there is a huge element of variance in your own mental ability. It can be short term - did you sleep well, do you have anything grinding in your head, etc. It can also be longterm for a countless array of reasons.

Current world champion Magnus Carlsen was recently asked who his favorite player from the past is. He responded it was himself from 3-4 years ago. His game has undoubtedly deteriorated over the years for no great reason. He's probably just started to lose the motivation he once had. Nobody would argue against him being the best player alive, and few would argue against him being the best player of all time. Where's his motivation supposed to come from now?

And while those examples are negative, they have perfectly equal opposites on the other end. Sleeping extremely well, very clear headed, highly motivated? Things like this don't necessarily last, but when they're there - they can give you a very substantial boost.

So the lesson? There's variance and randomness in places you'd never expect to find it. In order to find genuine improvement it's important to be able to appreciate the difference between randomness and legitimate change. It's not easy, but I find there is a pretty simple clue for it. When you find yourself not wanting to play as much because you might screw up your rating - you have already subconsciously (and consciously really) accepted that you're overrated. This is a really common phenomena that I think we're all guilty of at some point or another. As the author of the article states, "As you can see in the chart, I played far fewer games in all of March to November than those sixteen days in February." That's a red flag for cognitive acute overratitus. Fortunately the cure is simple and fun - play more!

> Realistically, the next step you will see, unless something changes, is that they will start going after people for API duplication. They have precedent (currently) on their side in the US.

IANAL, but since they already released the API as open-source under the Apache 2.0 license, this avenue is closed off to them.
I was convinced for a while there as I scrolled down that this was a joke. "Good parody!" I thought to myself. Then I realized to my horror this is actually serious.

As a web developer since 1997, currently working in both the Rails & JAMstack spaces, I can assure any and all beginners out there you don't need to know anything about at least 50% of this stuff, probably closer to 70%.

I also deeply resent the notion that you have to "choose a path." Depending on the task at hand and what I'm trying to accomplish, I'm working on the backend, the frontend, and/or the devops side. I jump between all of those daily. If your stack, website, or web app is so complicated that you simply have no ability to understand how it's built bottom-to-top, back-to-front, and how to deploy it easily, then either (a) you're in a massive team at a gigantic software company, or (b) you're doing it wrong!
I would print "vote" in quotation marks. It was not a free election at all. Opposition was stifled by jailing them (as well as members of the judiciary), and other means, and people were enticed to vote for his party by way of benefits.

What's more interesting than this actually fraudulent election is the attendance of fellow socialists like Evo Morales as well the new socialist president of Mexico. Obviously they believe in his cause when they lend it legitimacy by attending the ceremony.

It might seem like that, but javascript generator semantics mean that execution pauses at the first yield, and awaits external input before it resumes computation.

Also, the framework I described is only partially "hypothetical". [Concur-js](https://github.com/ajnsit/concur-js) gives you almost the same syntax and semantics. So you can try it out yourself :)
You say that, but to me that image evokes more than a decade of seeing machines boot up. Warm feelings.
I wonder. I'm in my 30's and while people my age maybe less likely to fall for fake news I know all to many people that will eagerly believe every obviously staged 'viral video' is completely real. I think the percentage of rubes remains the same regardless of age, just who is being targeted with what changes.

> I think it's a shame that a teacher would mislead a child the way yours did.

I had a really good teacher who would sometimes tell us particularly absurd things to see if we would figure it out and contradict her. When we did she would remind us that we should think for ourselves and not accept at face value claims just because they were presented by an authority figure.
- It's too expensive; health care, child care, education, and housing costs are too high.

Yet the vulnerability has absolutely nothing to do with stpcpy() being used.

The problem is alloca() is used to allocate the space stpcpy() is writing into. Using the 'n' variant here wouldn't have made the slightest difference.
You're no more correct that your anecdotes disprove his claim. Also, he explicitly said "could happen"; it was a concern, not a conclusion. The central question in this discussion is whether or not there is an age correlation, and according to the linked study there is.

I've been developing fulltime on Linux since 2014. I can't speak for the default distros/DEs, since I've been using i3 and sway the entire time. But it's been a fantastic development environment for me.

I recently watched one of my colleagues run a build on their macbook. Not a complicated build. A go binary compile and a docker image build. But it really struck me how slow it was. What takes 15 seconds on my underpowered linux workstation took 60+ seconds on their $2000 macbook. That's unacceptable to me.
They do, when you receive messages you're prompted to delete them, with a default of "yes". And we're careful for the secrets not to end up in any log files either.
I just use nix on OS X, better package manager than most linux distros have. I have my own copies of py2/3 and the system one, not a huge deal to be honest (outside of the pain of linux side nixos updates breaking derivations for macOS, but thats generally not a fault of the os).
"Adaptations are meant to be useful — that’s the whole point — and the most successful creatures should be the ones best adapted to their particular environments."

No, they aren't. Adaptations aren't even meant to be viable. Statistically, what they trend towards is not the "objective" of usefulness, but of reproduction. As a consequence of that end, this tends to include traits that aid in personal survival, attracting a mate, and ability to nurture, protect and provide for the offspring. Beauty, while in the eye of the beholder, obviously fits into the role of "attracting a mate." Usefulness not required.
> I guess the author actually meant to say “So long, OSX”

It's called macOS, if you're going to be pedantic about something someone else wrote. It's not been called OSX (actually OS X) for years.

A few accept cash in the post.
I'm currently on Ubuntu 18.04 and I love it but:

- Firefox takes literally 10 seconds to start unless I disable eth0

- Chromium isn't able to resolve DNS for local intranet sites

- Have not tried chrome as installing it means fiddling with apt repos, wget or gdebi

These issues are unresolved as of January 2019. I can't say that I ever had such issues on macOS. I have had DNS issues because of my specific ISP router after a major macOS upgrade but my ISP patched it within a week.
I also enjoy systemd much more than sysvinit, having a uniform service structure vs messy shell scripts really does make a difference.

To be fair, that may be a python problem, as I've also had issues with 2 & 3 on a Linux machine as well. At this point, unless I can avoid it I just use a VM for any python 2 work.
I would posit that it's a valuable skill at this point in time to intentionally not seek out the flavor-of-the-month web technology. I'm of the opinion it's good to wait a year or two before adopting any new framework or technique, because it seems almost all of them are passé within that timeframe. (Case in point: BOY am I glad I never bothered to learn Angular 1!)
What makes you think that? The application developer docs for the Librem 5 (https://developer.puri.sm/Librem5/Apps/index.html) are pretty clear that its default environment is based on GNOME, and that it will run apps built with both GTK+ and Plasma Mobile...
See, I don’t get this. I know that from a technical perspective apt is much nicer because its ‘first party’ to the OS, but homebrew both feels much simpler in us and its packages are so fresh that it trails the stable branch of packages by a day or so. Apt packages are frozen in place, unless you go with extra PPAs. Or if you go with a rolling release like Arch, there’s small things breaking constantly.
Does anyone have a link to the source used to classify some news as fake and other news as real in this paper? Whomever control that definition can shift any conclusion, similarly to how hate speech definitions is used to silence speech on platforms such as Patreon [3].

I think we should treat any conclusion made by YouGov with caution because on at least on one occasion YouGov associated themselves with people believing in and adovocating for social justice [1], so maybe they are part of the ongoing effort [2] to re-gain progressive information gateway control in a world where much information dissemination is shifted from traditional media to social networks and streaming.

I agree that this is common and troubling.

I ended up on this soapbox after a recent study showing academic-performance harm from fine particulate matter in the air. The article had no numbers, so the HN thread was full of (weirdly politicized) speculation about American intelligence. Meanwhile, the underlying study showed modest effects in parts of China where daily particulate levels average 10x higher than the very worst "stay indoors" days in America. It was an interesting study, but the headlines it produced were actively making people less informed.

It's a particularly damning problem in this article because there are so many different ways to read this result. It could be that rich people get better or more intensive care after diagnosis. Or that they're more likely to get regular checkups and so are on average treated at an earlier stage. Or that with HPV vaccine not on the scheduled list, many insurers won't cover it and so the rich face less cervical cancer. Or simply that rich people are less likely to smoke and live with smokers. Or, especially since the long-term data here comes from a small set of disproportionately-urban regions, wealth is acting as a strong proxy for environmental exposure.

And even lay readers can discern those things! If rich people have lower incidence, that's different than lower mortality per incidence. Major risk factors like smoking can be adjusted for. We're told that wealth used to correlate with cancer, but the only summary of the change is the vague "in part to changes in diet and smoking as well as screening and treatment rates". This article needed, at minimum, a graph of incidence and mortality by income.
Thanks for the kind words, and for the message ;)

I wrote a much more in-depth analysis of Schonhage-Strassen and why exactly it's an O(N log N log log N) algorithm here: https://psun.me/post/fft2/

It's pretty interesting--it's actually a recursive multiplication algorithm with log log N levels of recursion and N log N work at each level. And it actually uses another fast multiplication algorithm within it, the Karatsuba algorithm.

>I don't think the ability to ascertain truth from falsehood is uniquely age related; I believe it comes down to the age of media you were raised in...

I don't know man?

I think it has a whole lot more to do with the common sense of the individual. If you're the type of person who will believe that the US never landed on the moon, or that Hillary, congresspeople and bankers are sexually molesting children who are held captive in the basement of a pizzeria, then there's not much that changing a media source is gonna do for you.
Sure, then you need to write scripts to monitor your daemons and their dependencies, and you may end up writing something likely worse than systemd that just suffers from the 'NIH' syndrome.

Adjusting to systemd took me a while, but I believe it was worth the effort, and I also believe most people who dislike systemd are just set in their old ways

> One of the big features Macs have for me is that I can call customer service any time of day and they can work through any serious issue I have with my Mac

This is something else that often gets left out in these discussions. For better or worse, Apple offers an ecosystem/platform, and the support to go along with it.

Suppose you do make a Linux laptop work for your daily driver. You're still left out in the cold if you have an iPhone/iWatch/iPad.

The tight integration that's offered, along with the ubiquitous(and very useful) iCloud is something that Linux just doesn't have.

And yes, I am aware of the various flavors of self-hosted solutions, the dangers of lock-in etc...

If I've already been fighting to make my laptop functional for work, I don't want to start the same battle again for my hobbies too.

I know a lot of people that use Raspberry Pi computers for home projects.

I've made a version of their Raspbian OS just for my older, not very techie, friends to replace their old Mac/Windows PCs when they die.

There isn't an affordable new Mac now and I've spent less than 10 hours on a Windows box in the past 20 years so I can't help them when they die, but I can set them up with a brand new Pi for around $100 (+ or - a few bucks) and they all love them. All they want to do is surf the web, FB, email, and YouTube.

The latest versions of Raspbian have incorporated so many of the mods I worked on over the years that now I really don't have to do anything much more than hide what they'll never use.

Aside from those, I don't know anyone off hand I can think of.
It always has been. Quite often very literally.
