Thank you for illustrating my point by claiming that if ethics aren't the top overriding priority in your decision, you somehow don't care about ethics at all. That is exactly the attitude that I find frustrating when talking to certain vegans and vegetarians.

Imagine the following scenario: I have a choice between two burgers. They both taste the same and cost the same, but the first one requires a cow to die, and the second one doesn't.

If I don't care about ethics, then I would choose randomly between the two, because that's not a deciding factor.

But if I consistently choose the second one, then I obviously care about ethics, it is a deciding factor for me. It's just not the most important deciding factor, but it's still there. Why does it have to be binary? Why does it have to be all-or-nothing for you?

I obviously might not care as much as you do about it, but you claiming that I don't care about it at all is incredibly offensive.
If you have access to a cloud service/servers, you don’t even need to do that. Your server is on the other side of these blocks, just rent a VM for a few minutes, RDP/VNC into it and surf the web without any ISP constraint.

Zabbix 4.2 Is Out
Ah, an ATARI ST! As a kid I had always drooled over a 520 ST and 1040 STFM, but they were too expensive and as a Commodore kid I ended up on the Amiga, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise because the Amiga had slightly more powerful hardware and a superior operating system. However the soft spot for the ST always remained and decades later when I can finally afford it, I have a Falcon030 as well. Fascinating machines, the ATARI ST's!

That's literally what the author is saying, in the very passage you quoted. The idea of a game isn't inherently complicated, and even simple games can be most entertaining. You sound like a connoisseur of the modern PC experience, but most people in this world are not and would still like to enjoy something that's delightfully thoughtful, intriguing, and simple enough to pick up for a short time, but not so addicting that you can't drop it immediately for a real world responsibility.

So distributism isn’t opposed to tax? Could the government then subsidise some types of work that it wanted to encourage, or tax those it wanted to discourage?
I know I wouldn't. In fact, about 10 years ago I started working 4 days a week instead of 5, taking a 20% pay cut. I wanted the extra day to be with my family, help out with school, etc. By switching companies and going back to working full time I could easily make 2x the amount of money I'm making right now, but it still wouldn't be worth it. I can always work more and make more money, but I will never get another opportunity to see my kids grow up.

In my case, time is money but money does not equal time.
Here's my attempt at explaining what CRDTs are in 30 seconds:

CRDT are a type (e.g. a String, a Vector, an Integer) that has limitations with how it can be mutated.

For example, you can create an Integer CRDT that can only be `increased` and `decreased`, or a String CRDT that can only have characters `inserted` and `deleted` at given positions.

These limited mutating capabilities are chosen so that there never can be any conflict.
c) it collides with something and creates more debris problems before ultimately falling back into the atmosphere.

It doesn’t have to be in a sustainable orbit to cause problems.

Really like the idea, to avoid having a big commit fixing several things not related
Well put, this makes my argument in a much better forM_.
Well, consider maybe that it has to do with a couple of factors, not just learning, but opportunities to learn, as artificial environments (homes) become more refined, and there's more opportunity to contemplate upon abstractions.

Not only that, but capacity to contemplate, that is to say, relative intellect has likely been augmented by our capacity to self domesticate within such environs.

On the on hand, you have the mirror test for self awareness. But it's tough to construct a comparable structured assessment for self awareness that measures up to the mirror test for self awareness. On the one hand, operating mirrors is an acquired skill. Sentient beings need exposure to a mirror for some time, before they learn to reconcile how to use it for self examination. But without a mirror, other stand-ins, like shadows, masks and palm prints start to reveal an awareness of identity. So we can look to those sorts of artifacts to resolve whether a remote indigenous society has begun to self recognize, in general, for all neary all healthy adult members at large.

But, also consider our evolutionary effect on how smart dogs are. Dogs are pretty smart, in possession of emotion, highly attentive to mood, cooperative, and recognize their own identity according to name. They recognize their own scent, and prioritize that factor of self above their appearance in mirrors, which they eventually learn is not another dog. They also dream, which probably means some dogs have vivid internal processes, even if they don't have an internal monologue.

Human societies have writing though, and it's probably writing that leads to complex societies, and of course, writing enables artifacts that record oral traditions, and eventually theology and mythology.

Really, though, look at it this way. Oral traditions are about entertaining an audience, but eventually, the written word descends into virtue signalling, as intellectuals paint each other into corners.

Ever get caught by the wrong person with a diary entry that spills your guts, telling all about what you think of everyone? How many times did you make that mistake?

That's what this reveals. That the intelligensia gains a collective recognition that failure to moralize is a form of checkmate in the court of public opinion, and virtue signaling in text is the race toward a limit (race to the top, race to the bottom, whatever). Intellectuals start to notice how blackmail works, and stop writing about the evil deeds they (may or may not) understand.

Because it's really hard to programm something without having a state... And than you have to shoehorn that somehow with FP terms.
This is the reason why windows doesn't let you opt out- power users would opt out.

Case in point - jump lists were removed from start menu.

That said- why treat regular users unfairly by not optimizing for their use cases too?
I don’t have that intuitive sense. Other than believing copyright is wrong and that is ther biz model.

The legislature has already ruled. They have defined public domain. They (and everyone who knows copyright law) understands you can do anything with public domain. Including selling, licencensing. As the OA correctly state several times. Only the clickbait title implies otherwise.

Fraud has also been apropriately legislated.
All the more reason to remove barriers to access of real news.
It's an unpopular opinion on HN because holding China accountable would threaten their bottom line. IBM was happy to sell Nazi Germany punch card tabulators and alphabetized even after the opening of the camps. China could burn Taiwan to the ground tomorrow and 3/4 of HN would still downvote anyone who suggests there might be more important things than making as much money as you possibly can.

As someone who is personally obsessed about 1960s and onwards computing I found this to be a great a well researched article. I always considered MSX and CP/M to be the real parents of the Windows monopoly. I view MSX as the learning process for Microsoft, and CP/M as the building blocks, since the first version of Windows (called DOS at the time) was API compatible with CP/M
The style of this article is really disingenuous. The new leadership at NPM may (or may not) be acting disrespectfully to the terminated workers but to go from that to speculating about their financial health just seems unwarranted. The statement "a company which may, or may not have financial problems" is meaningless. Every company in the world "may, or may not," have financial problems. That sentence only serves to impute doubt about the company's viability while skirting the limits of truthfulness
The article doesn't seem to mention this, but you can already disable popups for notifications in Firefox.

1. Go to Preferences, Privacy & Security

2. Scroll to Permissions > Notifications, click Settings...

3. At the bottom of the dialog window, check Block new requests asking to allow notifications

The permissions already granted will still work.
I feel that browsers are really getting permissions horribly wrong. The prompts often look very similar to each other (no icons) regardless of what they are for. Some permissions are detectable, others are not. When a site tried to use a function that's blocked, the notification in the browser is often easy to miss, leaving users wondering why the functionality isn't working.

If it were good:

1. Users would be very aware of the request or attempted use for any permission.

2. Users would be able to easily ignore that request without the permission prompt interrupting them.

It seems that browser vendors are struggling with a fairly simple UX problem.
Yes... Media they've used, sometimes that they've created themselves or used that's clearly in the public domain, has been content ID'ed by others in an attempt to extort them. It's gotten to the point where on YT one basically has to have a pointless media channel to upload original music / video to content ID before using it in other videos.
Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I don't know much about 4chan - why block 4chan?
There are medications to achieve "cardioversion", meaning transitioning the atria to a coordinated rhythm. Another way is to insert a catheter and use electric shocks to reset the myocardium.

But yes, it's not easy.
Ask HN: Will you startup with a remote co-founder you've never met in real life?
Some people say that startup founders must "work, eat and sleep together." Remember the characters of Silicon Valley television series - they worked behind the same table all the time.

Would you personally start a company with a remote co-founder whom you never met in real life?

For example with the one who lives in the remote part of the country or in a neighboring country. And it is hard to get together and meet face to face.

How do you think is it possible to build a strong founding team and successful startup with such a remote co-founder?

P.S. I personally would start-up with such a remote co-founder but only if we were continuously connected via live video, as I described here: http://videoworklink.com/2019/03/is-startup-with-remote-founders-possible/

Being a Linux adopter is nothing to be proud of: Linux ISO's on crap PC-bucket hardware is what undercut all that beautiful, elegant SGI, hp and Sun Microsystems hardware and their elegant operating systems.

You can typically get any paper your university library has a subscription to via the libraries online portal or if you are in the university network already at the undergraduate and masters level. If some journal is not available at the library you can request an interlibrary „loan“ which just means that someone at another library will copy the article and send it to you, typically for free.

> In some sense, it is, it's just happening every slowly.

Yup, real world engineering doesn't heed purity of concept. What you get is a hodgepodge of best practices and ideas that work. Today we see JS, Golang, Ruby, modern C, C++, all of these things have ideas and features directly drawn from functional programming and likewise, many functional programming languages use ideas from other paradigms.

We likely won't see Lisp or Smalltalk become dominant anytime soon but there is no denying that many of their features have made it into many of the main stream languages that have become mainstream for reasons far detached from their programming paradigms (um maybe not Java, for better or worse, Java sold OOD and OOD sold Java).
If I want to be bothered at random I'll install the app. This functionality should never have been bundled into a web browser.

No but you need telemetry to find out how users react to abusive notifications and how they interact with websites where they do genuinely want notifications from. You can't just guess that.

Well, there is little proof that they decided something and then went looking for data unless you can find some statement by mozilla that supports your theory?
No, because rail has fixed routes but everywhere in the road network is connected to everything else.
Well, then, let's get started.

https://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/03/health/03real.html : "In one study by Austrian researchers, for example, a group of 50 adults were split into two groups and tracked for six months. One group was instructed to use saunas regularly; the other group abstained. At the end of the study the sauna group had contracted fewer colds. “This was found particularly during the last three months of the study period, when the incidence was roughly halved compared to controls,” the scientists wrote. Other studies have found similar results. But doctors caution that saunas can be hazardous to those with heart or circulatory problems."

https://www.healthline.com/health/can-you-sweat-out-a-cold#s... : cites the same study and says it may prevent colds, but cites one study saying that hot dry air specifically (3-minute exposures thereto) doesn't help... seems not the regular kind of sauna: "Use of this type of sauna has little in common with that of a regular sauna, where one usually stays longer than 10 minutes and sweating is desired." Hmmph. I'll say that one is only partly relevant.

And the "Other studies have found similar results" link's abstract says this: "The common cold has great socio-economic impact. To date, no prophylaxis has been scientifically shown to be effective. A number of older reports implied that visits to the sauna and other thermotherapeutic measures might provide a certain degree of protection. More recent data suggest that this supposition is probably true. Nevertheless, there are a number of important questions still to be answered in this area."

Sounds like there is mild evidence in favor.
It seems pretty clear to me that they're talking about Getty's actual legal liability here, not making a moral judgment on whether what they're doing is wrong. In fact, two paragraphs later they say-

> I'm certainly sensitive to the slimy practices of Getty Images, and claiming that public domain images are available for license (at very high fees) is very slimy. But it's not at all clear that it's against the law.

Clojure under the hood isn't copying on every operation it's partitioning the same data structure to give immutability to the developer

These data structures are called persistent data structures
So I think, just reading this thread, there there are a lot of misconceptions of FP's capabilities. Things like statelessness - Haskell, Purescript, et al have ways of representing state, and for optimizing recursive behaviour into constant space/time (they even have great abstractions and data structures that can compete with C)

The number one reason is that ultimately it feels too different, and Functional programmers tend to be terrible educators. So it all feels very esoteric. To learn a pure functional language is almost to start learning programming from scratch.

The secondary reason is the package ecosystem. Generally speaking these languages have a rough go at dependancy mgmt/build tooling (stack vs cabal and the lack of good, simple guides for their usage, and the same for bower(deprecated) psc-package and spago. The problem is that once the tools improve - the docs and guides are all outdated. Good reliable information takes more digging in these languages.

BUT it is achievable. These are perfectly serviceable languages that can provide robust, provable behaviors. And in the case of purescript, a strongly typed environment on the web.

The development processes are out there and there are folks writing full stack FP. (myself included). But as a whole, pure FP needs a lot more educational material in order to grow.
Saito Arcade: Boardgames Come to the Blockchain
4chan is a relatively popular anonymous image board, based on a Japanese language image board (2ch) but with mostly English language users. It's administration are known to be quite lax with content; if it's not outright illegal to host they'll generally let it slide in their NSFW boards. To use a recent example, their Adult GIF board right now, while flooded mostly with pornography, is currently housing uncensored footage from the recent mass shooting.

Thanks to the lack of user accounts needed to use the site, pretty much everyone checks their social filter at the door, and it's earned some unfavorable comparisons. Given its reputation I'm not surprised to hear it's the subject of censorship.
