Hacktivists Are on the Rise–But Less Effective Than Ever
A bit of feedback to the author: I cringe really, really hard when I see things like:

#[derive(Debug)]
enum RispErr {
Reason(String),
}

One of the beauties of Rust's type system is that you can combine meaningful error types with the From trait to build zero-effort error handling. When you turn every error into a String, you lose information that future programmers (including yourself!) will be glad to have. I know it can be a little bit painful to get used to, but once you do, meaningful error handling will be at your fingertips.

To be helpful to readers of this comment and not just critical of the author, I recommend you don't overthink your error types when you're first starting to write your program. Think of the contents of the enum like a "scratchpad" where you list every failure mode you've encountered so far. While you're still developing, you can greedily match on every variant in your match statements, and it's fine. As you do this, you'll begin to notice themes that will inform the eventual refactor. Best of all, once you do refactor, you won't have to re-understand your code to tease out the various kinds of failures - you'll already have a list of them!

I consider myself an "environmentalist" and those are some broad strokes you're painting. I'll cede that maybe OP was being equally dismissive of non-environmentalist positions, but so are you. Can you enlighten us on what some of these backward, thinly veneered social motivations might be? And don't tell me it always boils to saving some "insignificant" species; it does not. Likewise, perhaps you'd elaborate on your equation of wants and needs. If someone "wants" something, would you agree that it's not something they've "got" to have?
I always wait too long to get a haircut until my hair is overgrown and I'm forced to.

I've been thinking about asking my barber if I can pay him $60 every two months for 3 haircuts. It's a small discount but I'd do it mainly as a forcing function to keep my hair in check.

This seems like a potential use case for your product that I'd happily subscribe to.

The issue is more than free filing. Everything seems to be broken.

I helped my brother in law file for an extension through the IRS web site. The IRS directed us to private companies including TurboTax to file the extension. We clicked on the free TurboTax link which nowhere had an ability to file for an extension!

I finally told my brother in law to print the extension form and mail it to the IRS.

The IRS should not include a link to something that doesn't exist.

Yikes!

I've been programming for 35 years and I can't fizzbuzz cause I don't know what it is. Yes, I've heard about it before cause it's mentioned on forums, and I even looked it up once, but I always consider such things childish. (I honestly don't remember anything about it.) Ask me about an algorithm and I'm there but don't play games with me.

EDIT: Just looked it up. Yep. A game. Now compare that to my years of accomplishments and you'll say asking me to write fizzbuzz childish, too.

Yeah I agree that blockchains look attractive for handling the ownership problem, but I don't believe they are necessary for cases like this. A well designed open protocol would do the job just as well.

Blockchains are for cases where double spending needs to be prevented. It seems to me that logictics merely needs to broadcast assertions by the participants. Kind of like certificate transparency.

The boundary between "developing world" and "first world" is a lot blurrier than you think. Is Iran a "developing world" nation, or a "first world" nation? Their birth rate is lower than that of Europe.

Population growth at this point is a result of extended lifespans, due to far fewer people dying of disease, infection, famine, and war. In all but a handful of nations (like Afghanistan and South Sudan), birth rates are down to replacement levels or below, or will be there within a generation.

And declines in birth rates are a consequence of poverty reduction. In the late 1990s, the global extreme poverty rate (less than $1.80/day in today's dollars) was 29%. Twenty years later, it's less than 9%. Astounding!

Get people out of poverty, and the birth rate problem fixes itself in a generation. Which is exactly what happened to the "first world" nations, if you think about it. In the 19th century, Sweden had a 90% illiteracy rate, and was so poor and hungry that fully 20% of the population emigrated to North America. Today, they're... Sweden. The gold standard of modern civilization. Why can't, say, Yemen accomplish the same thing?
Isn't that what they're doing already? How is Alex Jones "dangerous"? He's a joke, he doesn't even take himself seriously. If the stated goal is to minimize harm, then CNN has caused far more harm to the American people than Alex Jones ever will.
> to create narratives in which blackness is not looked down upon. This is good, needed work.

so like:

In the Nation of Islam, both God and the devil are human beings. Elijah Muhammad identified the devil as the white man, the Caucasian race. According to Elijah, though the black race is many trillions of years old, the white race began a mere six thousand years ago with Yakub, one of the Black Gods of this time cycle.[15]

Elijah explained, "The white race is not equal with darker people because the white race was not created by the God of Righteousness. . . . They were made by Yakub, an original Black Man—who is from the Creator. Yakub, the father of the devil, made the white race, a race of devils—enemies of the darker people of the earth. The white race is not made by nature to accept righteousness."[16]

is 'good, needed work'??

> Under National Socialism, control by the state was so complete, the private ownership meant nothing.

Sure, state control is a hallmark of fascism/totalitarianism. However, the USSR did not have a socialist mode of production essentially because of the lack of worker control of the state (and therefor the means of production).

I would argue that if the state owns the means of production, then the state must necessariy have some kind form of democratic control by the citizens in order to be considered socialist. The USSR may have had this very early on, but as Stalin rose to power it slipped away and became what is known as state capialism.

There needs to be a distinction between a "socialist country" (as in, a country with a socialist mode of production where the workers control the means of production) and "country rules by socialists" (USSR, China, Cuba, etc) where the means of production is centrally controlled by a government not representative of the population.

As far as I'm concerned, no socialist countries have ever existed for more than a handful of years.

In other words, Marxism, at its core, is at odds with fascism in a fundamental way, and Marxist-Leninists (and by extension Stalinists and Maoists) are fundamentally at odds with Marxism.

I think you can draw a parallel between "people who think they support Marxism" and fascism, but drawing a parallel between Marxism and fascism is a stretch.
A company I consulted for was considering licensing a cell therapy from a large, well regarded US research hospital. When we looked at the manufacturing data it became apparent that the hospital really had no idea how to characterize the cells they modified and gave to patients. It was basically take cells from a patient, purify them and grow them up in culture, add a few nucleic acids, then readminister. No testing to see if the nucleic acids got into the cells, how many cells got them, whether the cells changed unacceptably during culture, haphazard testing to see if they modified the cell's surface protein levels, no specs as to what level of protein expression were acceptable, etc. They did do safety testing so it isn't likely that the cells would be harmful, but its very likely they would have no effect. There was no malicious intent on the part of the researchers or hospital, they just didn't know how to do commercial quality QA/QC on cell therapies. At the time, no one did. Even so there was some stuff they should have known to do but didnt do

This was ~5 years ago so things QA/QC for cell therapy has advanced since then, but its still evolving. Would be interested to know how these hospitals handle this

> Mixing signals and threads is pretty much trash.

Agreed, except for SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, and SIGPIPE, which are guaranteed to be delivered, if at all, to the thread which triggered the condition. (Unless, of course, they were raised explicitly.) Still trash in the sense that to do it right you're depending on installing global signal handlers and (very likely) arranging for thread-local storage (actual TLS isn't even async-signal safe; see my post elsethread regarding the sigaltstack trick), so these tricks are really only practical for the core application and not something you can stash in a library to perform transparently.

- Package A recommends Package B, if the package maintainer judges that most users would not want A without also having the functionality provided by B.

- Package A suggests Package B if B contains files that are related to (and usually enhance) the functionality of A.

- Package A depends on Package B if B is a A can't work without B

Its possible for B to actually be optional but in fact be designated as required if A is built with options that require B.

Footstock | (Full Stack) Developer | remote only

Footstock is a mix between fantasy football and sports betting. We launched just a few weeks ago, after a quite successful Indiegogo campaign netting us 250k. Now we want to expand our platform and preparing for Series A.

Angular 7 | Java 8, Spring | Postgres | AWS

We work only remote, anywhere in the world. No coding interview. 20+ hours/week.
We look for independent and self-organized people. Full Stack would be a plus, as well as other skills in operations, native development or game design.

Indeed, Milo is not too different from Info Wars. These people use the classic tactic of saying something insanely outlandish, and when they are called out on it, they just use the "I was obviously sarcastic" card.

Fizzbuzz isn't a trick questions that you have to have heard of. It's designed to be an EXTREMELY easy question, answerable by anyone with even a basic knowledge of programming. It's not a game. It's a way to weed out people that don't know anything.

If you have been programming for 35 years, you'll probably be appalled by how easy it is. Look it up.
Funny that this was brought up. I agree fully that it's rare. But...a friend of mine was "den mother" for graduate students in a top 20 comp sci program. The students were often doctoral candidates but could also be MS students doing a thesis. A large part of her job was prepping them for interviews with companies like Google, MS, Oracle, etc. Here are a few gems she had to remind/inform them of.

"Yes, you have to shower the day of an interview."

"It's never acceptable to pull out your lunch and eat in the middle of the interview, please don't do it again."

"Yes, you have to wear something other than the shirt you slept in."

You wouldn't be asked to "fizzbuzz". You would be asked to write an extremely trivial program, which would take you about 3 minutes.

Also, if you have guaranteed years of experience, fizzbuzz isn't for you. However, a suprisingly large number of applicants who can write an impressive looking CV can't write it.
Why not both? They're dangerous in different ways, but just because Facebook has its set of issues doesn't mean those people should have a platform to spread their non-sense to the masses.

I doubt that actual hardcore Scrabble players would care, any more than a hardcore chess player would mind if you kept referring to an index card with a diagram to remind you which way the horsey moves. Of course, they would care about you having access to the entire dictionary, just as a serious chess player would object to you having a collection of chess opening or endgame reference books to hand.

At a beginner level, it's more fun when no one knows the word list perfectly, and you shouldn't allow it.

At a slightly-above-beginner level, say where one player knows the two-letter words and others do not, knowing the two-letter words is such a huge advantage that it's a sensible house rule to level the playing field a little, and likely make it more fun for both.

"Ideas causing harm" is exactly the wrong way to look at it. Actions cause harm.

Sometimes ideas lead to action, but we should always police the action, not the thoughts. We start down a dangerous path to thoughtcrime as soon as someone is no longer permitted to think or express an idea.
