extremism
/ɪkˈstriːmɪz(ə)m,ɛkˈstriːmɪz(ə)m/
noun
the holding of extreme political or religious views; fanaticism.

Update: My point is that you are redefining what "extremism" means. e.g. The far-right is extremism. To think that you can create colonies in Mars in the next 10 years is "unorthodox".

If you redefine extremism to something that is acceptable, and most people defines far-right as extremism, you are defining the far-right as something that is acceptable. That is the danger of redefining words.
What can you do in a few lines of Lisp that can't be done similarly in Python or Javascript?

You can do amazing things in short strings of Perl or APL/J, they just tend not to be readable.
> It gives you a list, which can be combined to form complex structures

In Common Lisp, using lists for most data structures is a mark of a poor programmer. If you think Lisp is about list processing, you perhaps need to become familiar with how Lisp has evolved since the 1970s.
Great article. Very helpful.
Rust doesn't get you anything resembling what you want here.

Chef/Ansible/Salt could be described as rudimentary type systems for operating system states, that enable you to convert between different types/states.

It's conceivable you could build such a system in Rust, but Rust itself has no primitives that would make it easy. It certainly isn't a good starting point when you want to set up a database server.
Going for a proof by contradiction?

What you should be doing is looking at the averages. Are educated people in general more liberal?

The prosperity-theologists have their scripture as well: Ecclesiastes 10:19

This is the problem with theocracy: you can find a scripture to justify just about anything.
Or, you know, it could have been a mistake.
I agree that secondary sources do a better job at explaining the ideas than the originals. I did read Discipline And Punish though and got through it fine. My understanding of the text mapped well to the Philosophize This podcast on the topic. It would be exhausting to read his whole body of work, though. Same goes for any of the post-modernists. I guess they might have argued that they were venturing into new intellectual territory and that language wasn’t well-suited to what they were trying to explain, but if that’s the case then that’s just elitist BS in my eyes. The secondary sources prove that you can explain these ideas in plain language just fine.

Didn’t mean to imply that you were critiquing deconstruction. I bring it up because in my experience the major complaint around these authors is that they seem to just tear down the “grand narratives” of the past without showing the way to a better future. I think this is the main problem on campuses right now. I for one can definitely say that was my college experience. I left with the clear impression that a lot of ideas I had grown up with were BS, meanwhile my ideas on how to build a better future were vague at best.
They're also handy for spoofing your geolocation. So geolocation spoofing and routing traffic over hostile networks like Starbucks wifi is all a VPN should be used for.
I've been learning Go these days and have enjoyed it quite a bit. Rust is also on the menu this year. Aside from the Rust book, do you have any suggestions on learning material?
A company was holding a competition for 'a great new idea to solve heart disease' with a huge million $ prize. our research group of 30+ people consisting mostly of faculty wanted to win it, so we broke our group into 6 or so sub-groups to come up with ideas and submit it to the greater group.

my group wanted to submit as an idea 'tax on soda'. I was adamantly against the idea. Ignoring the fact that I don't think it would work, its not a 'NEW' idea, and the company that was holding the comp was doing this for PR, and this doesn't seem like an idea they'd choose as a winner. However, when the groups got back together, all of the other groups submitted the same idea, tax soda.

I was floored. there was over 300 years (3 centuries) of higher education among the groups, and they were completely incapable of original thought.

What we really need to invest in is Nuclear energy. It's clean and efficient. But the liberals in the US will always be against it. Who knows, we might not even have an issue if so many communities around the US had been against it in the 80s and 90s.

The other sad fact is that after all we do to prevent CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere, it won't stop humans from emitting it. I predict the next thing will be population control.

My first introduction to graphics was definitely the type-in-program listed in the back of the (orange) manual I received with my 48k ZX Spectrum. It drew a UK-flag.

Here's the source, which gives me a moment of nostalgia:

I wrote a simple BASIC interpreter recently, in golang, and hacked in support for outputing PNG images of code. I should see if I can get that sample to run (mostly) unchanged!

Visual Studio is absolutely amazing and I won't code without it. On top of that, you can always install VsVim if you want some vim functionality while retaining everything that is great about VS (this is what I use).

Yes, a big networking event amongst elites for future connections, deal flow and capital

What the professors and course material say has very little to do with that.

Also, people play within the rules of their country. Even the frontmen (heads of state) have to maintain consensus with their warhawking generals.
Because DoH is meant to work on the application level, not OS level. You are trying to do something based on libc's resolver. If you use'd e.g. GoLang's resolver you would have similar behavior.

This is "better" because it's following the spirit of domain separation. In fact, if Mozilla's application based resolver started mucking with /etc/hosts it would, in fact, be breaking your shit.

Calm down.
Issues are almost never binary, even if political parties love for people to think that way.

Seemingly binary choices like abortion always have the third option of not caring. But again that’s the headline stance policy deals with complexity. If someone feels very late term abortion is an abomination but the morning after pill is fine they need to define where that border exists. The extreme end is something like banning condom usage. Side issues like aborting for genetic issues or birth defects further split the issue.

Taxes are about as far from a binary issue as it gets. Unless you abolish government they need to collect some money, so the real question is exactly how much money they want to collect and from whom. Hand all the different numbers to every American and there is a reasonable chance none of them would pick the same budget as was past last year.
Isn’t that the same as the privacy populists who obsess about data, most of whom lived in advanced democracies in which the data isn’t used for serious assaults on people, where most of the harmof theoretical, imagined, or hasn’t happened yet (eg your insurance company gets your social networking data and uses it to deny you coverage)

There certainly is a reason to have rigorous privacy and principle of minimalism, especially if you live ina police state without civil liberties, but a lot of arguments you are on HN are emotional and hyperbolic just like the OP. It seems the more privileged someone is, the more their hierarchy of needs is met, the more they catastrophize things.
In the example the linter itself is not malicious, but used to deliver a malicious program that can have unrestricted filesystem access. Not vague at all, see recent news on the ‘event-stream’ package being used to steal cryptocurrency wallets.
I would guess most open source contributions are motivated by the author’s business need, not ideology.
Foucault has a fascinating take on Jeremy Bentham’s idea of the panopticon and uses it as a metaphor to explain the pervasive sense of surveillance throughout modern society. Highly recommend this podcast on the topic: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1tcYLy2ILoRoDddvR56Kxy?si=4...
I'd like to see the type signature of that `_` construct.

It seems to me like the bind operator would've made the extra complexity unnecessary.
> Given the number of times I've seen insert or remove used where it really, really shouldn't, I'm not so sure the lack of insert/remove is a bad thing.

Heavy reliance on such, as if they were free, is a very scripting-language thing. They hide all the grossness of such operations at the cost of significant memory bloat and inefficiency with simple, known-size structures (in order to make the more dynamic style run semi-fast at all).

There's no magic, and none of it's free, it just feels like it when you're push() and pop() and insert()ing all over the place. Making string manipulation closer to its roots as an array is also nice, in Go. If it's not worth bringing in a whole heavy library to deal with the awkwardness, then it wasn't worth writing the code that way to begin with. Figure out your lengths, resize as little as possible. Abuse and/or ignorance of how this all works is a big part of why we Can't Have Nice Things (performance, battery life) in the Age of Javascript.
I'm actually genuinely excited for this. Although Firefox's VPN should be free like Opera's[0] or even freemium where users get a more advanced set of VPN features for a small fee each month, and for the free tier, a limited set of options like limited choice of countries, and a bandwidth quota.

Eek. The content is interesting, but the channel’s style and sound effects are just too much for me. Same problem I have with “Mad Money”.
I'd disagree, there's a huge amount of evidence not to use it, mainly in the form of thousands of forum and bug tracking posts with very genuine complaints and issues with systemd.

Many of those posts have been met with ignorance from the developers, even resorting to "it's not a bug" when it clearly is. Systemd has been pushed into distros based on improvement of boot times (their PR), not as a basis of a stable replacement of an init system. There were no problems of existing init systems to resolve, and SSD's have made the boot times pointless. My fully-loaded Devuan install boots 3 seconds quicker than Mint, Solus or Fedora.

Genuine outstanding issues highlighted in the forums are things like not being able to get unit files to start services at boot up, difficulty in finding start up errors due to the order of other services starting, errors not showing up in logs and untraceable boot delays. These are not made up, just take a look at forum threads tagged with systemd.

It has also become much more than an init system. This has resulted in bigger dependency issues, in turn resulting in not being able to install some applications purely because of a dependency on systemd somewhere down the chain. On non-systemd distros applications don't care which init system you use.

It's not negative PR, it's real users having real issues that have had something pushed on to them. For systemd's original portrayed purpose there is no reason devs couldn't have spent their time creating configuration utilities for the existing inits. At least when something breaks on the established ones, there is only an init system to look at.
No you don't. Lay-people offer great criticism against "language" without knowing the "language of critique".

I don't need to say "Your epistemology is built upon a reductionist and totalizing conception of the self". I can say "There is no all-knowable truth in the world if there is no directly identifiable self"
>People outside the mainstream on a topic who are not deeply experienced specialists in that field have almost certainly fallen prey to well-crafted arguments that advance a falsehood.

First off, these are not mutually exclusive stances. Both you and GP can be right at the same time.

Second, I'd leave it at "well-crafted" and omit the claim that they are falsehoods. Whether they are true or false is the source of endless debate, which is rather the point.

Having said that, my experience is that while you say is often true (I'd argue about "almost certainly"), it's even more true when you find someone who almost entirely espouses mainstream views. They don't believe what they do because they spent much time musing over it and studying it. They believe it because they bought into a prevailing narrative without much thought.
Rust would help due to the type system and lack of library dependencies (it does static linking AFAIK), I suppose.
Get off social media, get to bed early and actually rest, limit caffeine and junk food, take up a meditation routine and inquire about the source of all these "I" thoughts (literally, "where does this thought originate" or even simpler - "who am I?")

Why not learn multiple? Why make a false dichotomy? Math, programming languages, and alternative spoken languages are distinct useful things you can learn.

Otherwise what if someone said, don’t learn Math, learn Modula-2?
Jeez, the comments on the linked article are abysmal. If Firefox release a premium version, I'm very open to paying. I prefer to pay for things I find useful and a browser is arguably one of the most important programs on a modern machine.
Well said.

People who complain against free services should simply stop using them.

But when they call for increased government regulation of such services, you know thy aren't bothered by the service itself but by the fact that people have a choice to use it to improve their lives (whether it's Uber drivers or Facebook users). Statist populists, precisely.
Automate Customer Feedback over Text Messages Using Go and Slack
really odd piece:

- only perspective from kids is by way of a parent who claims she's happier than he has seen in ages. really, due to an intense math class?

- > The Math Academy has had some success using tutoring sessions three times a week to increase the number of sixth-graders admitted.

so, seems that it isn't raw pure latent talent, there is some amount of grooming here to get kids to place higher.

- no actual hypothesis or comments on the question the article title asks. strange.

my guess is it's a mix of really intelligent kids and parents who are motivated to play educational arms race type games: competitive nature is moving more and more forward in development (need to be above and beyond ASAP to better qualify for stuff later in life), and with parents with $$, it's possible.
> misguided

Could you recommend a resource that explains why these features are misguided? I've found them to be much nicer than callbacks but it's possible that I'm misguided too. :~)
What do you mean by "politics"?
A good way to remember idempotent is to think of the 'delete' or 'mark as read' function for gmail.

You can delete an email or mark it as read even if it's been done before (on another open screen as an example).
I never understood why this is necessary. Using promises means you get to use try-with-resources style construct for handling non-memory resources safely. As such you no longer need to crash on uncaught errors, except errors pertaining to resource disposal.
I don't have an answer, just anecdata, nobody I know who still had a UK landline gets these calls. Text spam, occasionally, on their mobile, but actual robocalls, or live unsolicited marketing don't happen.

Pretty sure cycling through every number would get you dropped by anybody in that business. In terms of flagging yourself for attention it's like you spray-painted "Crack for sale here, no cops please" on the side of your drug warehouse. Dialling random numbers will have way too high a ratio of uncompleted calls versus anyone with an actual list of actual contacts, it would take a phone company IT person ten seconds to find out which of their customers is doing that and "suggest" they go elsewhere.

Much more likely they work from a "sucker list" vetted to weed out people like my 20-year old housemates last century who will just lose you money. That would explain nobody I know getting calls. So, I guess maybe you're just unlucky? No more help here I'm afraid -shrug-
Notepad++ is my editor of choice.

I do think you're right. And I also think that DoH will legitimate MITM because if application developers can break an long standing contract like DNS on OS well... "why can't we"
Of course not everything "interesting and/or unusual" is good design, but in this case I think it holds.
:thinking_face: is the food standards agency more interested in browsing data from food-based corporations to ensure certain standards over your pleblian google searches? it's possible and sounds like a valid reason for sharing of this data. except it's broken because a loophole is to simply use an offshore VPN (guess that's harder for a corporation to get away with)
That sounds like a means to making money, not a viable third alternative.
Well call both "extremism". What is bad, because they are very different.

Like the GP says, extremist ideas are the very natural consequence of thinking by oneself. But extremist actions are the consequence of the very misguided arrogance of thinking that you are correct just because your ideas leaded you there.
The shuttle was only "public" in the sense that the public was paying for it and got to watch the fun on TV - it was not, however, available to the public in any meaningful sense. The fact that NASA occasionally took a schoolteacher or scientist or Saudi prince along for the ride does not change the fact that space travel remained a fantasy for most of us throughout the entire lifetime of the shuttle program. I grew up in the 80s and 90s (in the US) and I was never under the illusion that the shuttle was open to me, personally.

The only way the "public" will ever get to visit space is if the cost of launches is reduced, which is something that governments have been almost universally terrible at.
It’s basically a joke in Canada: our providers charge so much per gb that nobody compares or complains about speeds.

Thank you for this! Before launching into the complex features, please fix the listening queue.

Just a queue, add, remove, reorder.

Add - top or bottom, though I use both, typically top for new episodes, bottom for the bulk I want to eventually listen to

Reorder - it's important to keep the state of each episode, typically I hear something and I want to prioritize an episode to be the next. My current issue is that I have to do this before I start a new episode or my queue is doomed. Example. Listening E1, next is E2 but I decide I want to listen to E5. If I'm finishing E1, I can put E5 as next. If I just finished E1 and E2 is on, there's no way for me to jump to E5 without loosing E2.

Also, please define listened/not listened in a human way. Below 5% I haven't listened the episode (maybe I inadvertently started and wanted to move in the queue, but I'll come back), above 90% I have listened to it (I don't care about the last 5min of ads).

I use Apply Podcast, and these 2 simple things are a huge mess. I look forward to listening with your app!
Debian 10 “buster” has been released
Yeah, I find out-of-the-box cookbooks about as helpful as out-of-the-box docker images: useful as a starting place but to leverage chef you really need to write your own. Chef resources/providers are nicely composable and the primitives are pretty easy to rewrite if you want, my main point is that chef gets you to think in terms of convergence instead of brittle imperative changes.

You could rewrite your bash scripts in rust but while it would probably be safer/more correct than bash, the whole paradigm of writing imperative scripts to manipulate existing machines is flawed, whichever language you write it in. And executor performance is almost never the bottleneck in my experience.
You're argument holds water, but the problem is when we start getting into OS's that actually don't ship any of the GNU userland. The classic example is Alpine Linux. Do we call that BusyBox/Linux? WSL 1 was a super weird anti-example where Microsoft skipped out on the Linux and shipped GNU stuff and still called it Linux. I think the colloquial naming convention became something like Kleenex or Google where we default to blowing our nose with (generic usage, not brand usage) "kleenex" with off-brand tissues or had our parents (generic usage, not brand usage) "google" something on Bing (as thats the default search engine of Windows).
Prosperity preaching is heavily ingrained in US culture

But flaunting wealth and saying your acumen caused it turns out to be effective all over the world because people want it. A lot - most - wealthy people dont even know they have enough money to have a decadent lifestyle and dont know where to start. Most are not consciously avoiding something flashy but are also constrained by their peers from being accepted for doing anything different.

So there is still a lust for people that can attract attention based on their perceived wealth.
You should pity people debugging very different constructs than this.

This is clear as day, and I haven't even read the proposal...

I've always had a suspicion that one person can't be a master of all things due to the physical limitations of human memory. Isn't that why we specialize?
I would argue that an individual (and in turn, the entire world) would be benefit more from learning the "languages" of, or getting a good grounding in, logic and epistemology.

Logic, so you can think straight, and epistemology, so you are able to recognize when your axioms are not actually hard facts, which is where a lot of complicated fuzzy-logic style disagreements (anything related to complex systems (weather, economics, government), culture, gender, sexuality, etc) break down even between two people who have highly advanced logical capabilities.
