On further thought I think it is this:

I question the motives of anyone who invests a lot of their time in the debate and discussion of the merits of various metrics for ranking the value of human beings unless they are on the skeptic side. Generally those who argue for even tangentially defend stereotypes or or metrics that can be used to a priori rank people by quality of meat are at the very least flirting with some kind of totalitarian elitism.

Perhaps this is hypersensitivity and overreaction, but I am not sure. I have studied human history. The instant the camel of a priori anonymous judgement of other people gets its nose under the tent, literal hell on Earth follows. Every single time.

I do not believe humans are all (physically) equal, but I do believe that it is important to treat people that way by default and to absolutely reject the aggregates-to-individuals fallacy here. That kind of reverse projection of statistics is always problematic or downright erroneous, but here it is also toxic and evil. Save biases from MTBF statistics for hard drives or other inanimate objects. (Even there it is problematic!)

Since you can't go from aggregate to individual with humans, what is the value of defending potential means of doing so?
Weren’t people reading books/newspapers before, or playing paper-based games (crossword, sudoku, etc)?

In most public transports the noise would make any conversation impossible anyway even if it would be considered acceptable and normal.
> Wow that's a lot of projection.

You mean like when you, without knowing anything about the situation or the person, claimed that:

> the author didn't care enough not to be sexist

Am I allowed to point out the hypocrisy now? I stand by my words. Some people are inventing issues or at least blowing them out of proportion so they can feel like they're fighting for something. In this case calling someone sexist (and "fighting" that sexism) for using an extremely common English term with one of its correct and commonly accepted meanings. And considering the historic roots of the word man also meant "human being, person" even that's not an argument. Some languages decided to take the generic term for population and also use it for males, not the other way around.

And you didn't care enough to respect at least the guidelines of HN if not of civilized society, by making a comment that added nothing to the discussion except gratuitously insult the other guy when your "arguments" ran out.
From time to time my ISP changes the IP address and discord totally freaks out about that. I have to fill out a captcha and have to receive a verification E-Mail. They are treating me as if I used asdf1234 as my password.
> Isn't that because those issues usually aren't visible before around that time? (I am neither a GP nor a psycologist though so this is just trying to apply common sense.)

In some cases maybe, but it don't believe in all cases. A neighbour had this with her 7 month old baby, and symptoms showed up literary 4-5 hours after vaccination (not autistic symptoms of course, problems with breathing and similar), but at about 3-4 years you could already see some of the autistic symptoms in the kid along with speech impairment.

I'm not going to let go an opportunity to mention The Fool's Errand [0], a 1987 Macintosh game (later ported to other systems) by Cliff Johnson. See the link for a download including the Mini vMac emulator, provided for free by Cliff Johnson himself.

This game is amazing. It's a collection of word puzzles (and some mazes and other kinds of puzzles) tied into a narrative about The Fool's journey through a world based loosely on a Tarot deck. I was too young when it came out to have played it in its time, but I came across the DOS port while playing random DOS games one night and, unlike may of the games I try out this way, I kept playing it and coming back to it in subsequent sessions. I think the modern game that reminds me of it the most would be The Witness (not including the sequel, The Fool and His Money, which I haven't yet played).

Even those who have no interest in playing should read the Digital Antiquarian article [1] about it, which contains mild spoilers.

Very cool! Thanks much for the links.
For addresses, I believe USPS provides a free address standardization API as long as you are using it for shipping purposes.
I think the term 'meat' is very broad. Taste-wise there will (and maybe already are) meat-substitutes that are comparable to animal-meat. But these are very artificial products and healthwise maybe not a good choice.

Animal meat itself varies in it's nutritional properties, depending on how the livestock is treated. Grass-fed, free range beef is not the same as grain fed, factory raised.

I'm not sure about in-vitro meat, but I doubt it is from a nutrition standpoint even comparable to, for example, high quality beef.

My point is, meat != meat and often I read only about mimicking taste and texture. For me the nutritional profile is more important (also ethics, but this normally goes hand in hand with meat-quality).
Thanks!

That's nice -- does that replace all rendering parts with the new Rust (servo?) equivalents?

Or are some parts still in the C++ codebase? (rendering related, not the UI code/JS engine, etc).

The diagram on the link seems to imply this is the last part! Does that mean there's some drawing library (akin to Skia) written in Rust used by WebRender too?
One of the main things I do on my phone is read fiction. I find that using a phone focuses my attention on one thing more than almost anything else. Particularly reading in a dark room or when walking outside when it's dark. It's so easy to ignore distractions while doing so. I am pretty much unable to read fiction when it's not on my phone.

It's interesting how we basically have the opposite experience.
I'm coming to the conclusion that it may be best to somehow curate and control your own 'feed'. Eg for Youtube, block the suggestions and just rely on RSS from subscribed channels, or bookmark videos recommended elsewhere.

What may also work well is to think of a topic that is really interesting, /then/ go searching for it on Youtube. Trouble is the suggestion algorithms also work to wear down discretion, as it seems you've found...
>In past decades (from the 50s up to the 90s or 00s) you'd have those things "happening at the edge" become mainstream.

I completely agree and I'm not sure many people would recognize how much this has changed. When "EDM" started infiltrating pop music it was the sound of the fringe creeping into the mainstream but this has since solidified and dominated to the exclusion of pretty much everything for the past decade. In my mind, this is very different from what we used to see from the likes of pop stars like Madonna that would borrow liberally from the "underground" and use it to spice up their own work.

Personally, I think this is a byproduct of our hyper-connected culture. I don't think subcultures can thrive in the internet era because they are exposed, consumed, and co-opted at too fast of a pace for them to grow.
Mose DSLs I encounter started as configs and tend to be inelegant because they're incidental rather than planned languages. I applaud thinking in terms of languages up front and exercising restraint to keep it to the bare minimum.
Thanks for the insight! We are working on adding speech to text, and AR is a bit far away from being a reality. Avatars are getting more complex everyday, though. I encourage you to check out this article: https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/02/facebook-photo-realistic-a...
>Chicken, turkey and most fish flesh are bland and rubbery, which is why they are fried or smothered in sauces as a rule.

Come visit. I'll bake you a chicken, and i only need about 6 ingredients to change your mind. (salt, pepper, chicken, butter, thyme, dijon mustard optional).

Turkey has never been a favorite of mine, but I had an exceptionally good one that was salted and peppered and then cooked in a big green egg.

Fish has a wide range of flavors, and you clobber them by overwhelming the dish with sauce. I prefer smoked (mmm, kippers. mmm, salmon) or raw (mmm, tuna) over cooked, for sure.
> a lot of “classics” are flavorless. Chicken, turkey and most fish flesh are bland and rubbery

That's because most people enjoy tastes that are loud rather than subtle. It's a bit about educating your palate, but also about sitting down to enjoy the food itself rather than the food being an accessory to some other activity.
Drone.io is a CI system with a minimal and very fast interface, especially in comparison to the monster that GitLab is.

I'd rather have AGPL licensed code or an open-core model with proprietary enterprise features (e.g. LDAP/Active Directory auth), but I completely understand that making money from open source software is hard (see similar changes with Redis/MongoDB).
I believe this could work but the website lacks samples (is it better than wikipedia, youtube videos and other tutorials ?) and a proof of authority (what makes you guys experts in the field). For 500$ you need to have a better idea of what you are buying.

>Ironically, a little-used, dead-end OS with few apps available on the platform means you can't do a great deal on the phone apart from call or text people.

This right here.

I am quite fond of how using a Windows phone replicates the early cellphone experience from the late 1990s/early 2000s. One only has what they need, but most of the time, it's exactly one would want anyway.

Most commonly used apps are being phased out as well, meaning one has no choice - there is no way to use them, so it's almost as if the passage of time strips the phone down to the barest essentials. Mine functions as an alarm, watch and flashlight. I must admit a VPN and Signal/Matrix/Riot would be nice occasionally, though, but WhatsApp, notwithstanding its ownership by Facebook, works well.
For those of you who have succeeded, how long was the withdrawal period? I try but in always get sucked back in after a few days.
I read all that and still have no idea what the point of it is, nor how performant or usable it is. It reads like an amazon review if someone trying to justify on overpriced purchase to themselves.

Meanwhile it looks like this product is targeted at the very people who know how to configure their distros for their hardware, precisely nullifying the value-add, as far as I can tell.

I read on my phone. It's the main thing I use my phone for. Before I got a smartphone I basically hated reading fiction (thanks mandatory reading from school).

Have you tried reading on your phone?
Depends on your definition of fine. In certain cases it would crash browsers on load, in other cases it would deliver a solid 60fps. I think 3d on the web does need a bit more polish so that it's a good experience universally.

> The smallest Thelio, designated “thelio-r1”, stands 32 centimeters tall, 20 centimeters wide, and 28 centimeters deep, coming to only a total of 18 liters in volume, a good deal smaller than even the tiniest commercial full-GPU mITX form factor cases, most of which are at least 22 liters.

Wut?

https://www.sfflab.com/products/ncase_m1 - 12.6L
https://www.dan-cases.com/dana4.php - 7.2L

There's a pretty big community that builds high-end gaming rigs / workstations in these cases. I've built in both. Originally I built in the Ncase but sold it to a colleague when I moved abroad. Recently I just built in the DANcase and wish I had have stuck with the Ncase. The extra 4 liters of volume goes a long way in improving thermals, due to the extra clearance for a CPU cooler.

Anyway, just found that line in the article annoying, even a cursory Google search shows that there's a plethora of 7-12L SFF PC cases out there.
LIC does not have many commercial tenants, and none on the scale of Amazon.

It would be a good thing to not concentrate all jobs in Manhattan.

Also, if you walk around LIC, it's not as developed as you might think, sure there are huge buildings, but they're next to empty lots & industrial spaces. It's largely a desirable area because of it's proximity to Manhattan, not really anything intrinsic about the neighborhood.

Well, I know which friends are comfortable talking about what. It's usually still over the internet too.
The size of hello world has dropped considerably in the last release now that we no longer bundle jemalloc. The smallest Rust binary ever produced was 145 bytes; you can have small binaries if that’s what you need, hello world and default settings are not optimized for tiny ones.

Even if you have wrapped it you still have to update your code when there are breaking changes. If you follow "don't repeat yourself" (DRY) there will not really be more work updating, compared to if you had wrapped it. (You should however not follow DRY slavishly - but that is a discussion on it's own.)

Agreed, no meat substitute I've had tastes the same or even good, including Beyond Burgers and such. A good veggie burger, that is not trying to be faux meat, but instead is highlighting the veggies, can be great. And unlike every faux-meat substitute it has the added benefit of not making me sick to my stomach...

I'm the head of engineering for a startup, was 3rd engineer at Eventbrite, built my own startup valued >$1M, turned down 2 offers at Google. Been doing startups 10+ years.

I do startups because I have a problem communicating my ideas in a way to influence larger organizations to do the things that interest me. Simple as that.

If I have a theory to move the needle, in a startup, I can do it, analyze it, and launch it with very little buy-in, although my impact to an industry may be less. In a BigCo, my impact on the industry may be more but the battle isn't about product-market fit, it's about corporate alignment and buy-in before I can even test product-market fit, which I just don't enjoy.

When you have an erlang distributed app and need caching without having the overhead of converting erlang terms then ETS is the best solution. That's not to say you would want to use ETS instead of redis from a java app.
>> Scripts are definitely not configuration file.

>> I would say the line is Turing-completeness.

>> For me, DSL are half way between configuration files and scripts

_you_ would say.

>> If they are not Turing complete they are configuration languages. If they are, then they are programming language (with a specific use case).

Or, you could say that DSLs are what they are: "Domain Specific Languages". Which means that can either be a set of static definitions a-la configuration file, or on another side they can be scripts.

All of these definitions fit really well the meaning of "Domain Specific Language".
Debian on the Raspberryscape: Great News
FWIW I think he's predicting something which is already beginning to happen. Carl's Jr. (Hardees to you midwestern/east coast folks) recently added Beyond Meat patties to their menu (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-beyond-meat-carl-s-jr-idU...). For a small price extra, you can get a not-farmed-meat burger and they're promoting it pretty heavily.

I dropped in a while back, was surprised to see it on the menu, thought "eh, what the hell", and it was pretty good. I have the kind of palate that would make Gordon Ramsay cry himself to sleep, so I wasn't able to tell the difference between one of their Beyond burgers and one of their regular burgers. Probably helps that their items are a mess of sauces and nonsense too.

Anyway, now when I go back in, I find that I'm having to justify to myself getting a farmed meat burger vs. a Beyond burger, and ... there's not really any justification for it.

I doubt most of Carl's customer base debate personal ethics while staring at the menu, but still, there's no way I'm the only one.
Neat! Also, is it me or are those flammable barrels from Half Life 2? :)
The thing is, "the ballot box" you refer to was just a way for random people on the internet to submit comments. It isn't intended, I think, as a way to guide policy. I expect that they switched to web-based commentary because, historically, they've accepted letters and the web-forms are just an "upgrade". Who's going to hire staff to open, read and respond to letters these days?

These fake "grassroots" operatives merely abused the web-commentary system in order to keep the FCC leadership (and Republicans) from being completely humiliated by the sheer number of people in favor of net neutrality. Turns out, they got sloppy and went a bit overboard.

What is really disturbing, however, is that the company named, "CQ" is in the business of automating "campaigns" with software and data analysis. To them, it doesn't matter WHAT the campaign actually is as long as they get a paying customer-- smears and disinformation is just another day of work for them.

There's so many layers of slime here, it's hard to know where to start.

This is a bit different. It's matching what you have versus what a 3rd party has. You have no control over the third party.

We do use SmartyStreets to normalize the address before submitting, but the 3rd party uses something else. Also, address correction is a weird space. UPS, for example, delivers to many places that the USPS does not. Rural communities are especially tricky. UPS, Fedex, and USPS disagree on things like "Rural Route 24" vs "State Route 24" versus "Arizona Route 24".
