> Can you find a concrete example of that?

I should have been more clear on that. Their own replies, look at their post history.

It's usually something like "Use Signal/Wire blah blah they are so good and will solve all the worlds problems". Someone then always points out that Signal requires you to share your phone number. Who wants to do that publicly?

Then people usually say the desktop client is pretty bad experience and you need Signal on your phone anyway to be able to use it. Even if you use a disposable SIM, the issue comes up with the number going back into the carrier distribution pool to be issued to new customers.

Phone numbers are a terrible way to identify people. Unlike email, where you can have spam filters, phone numbers have virtually no user controls for stopping unsolicited communications. Hell even IRC has that it's called /ignore.

Often then the next thing that gets mentioned is Signal does not like people making third party clients, so that means no nice TUI client or something that is native for your platform. I dunno about you, but I go out of my way to avoid Electron. I am thankful that at least with Matrix, there are other clients being developed, and tools like Pantalaimon that will allow for easy encryption everywhere. https://github.com/matrix-org/pantalaimon

I have blind friends and they say Electron applications are terrible. By that I mean non-functional with their screen readers, so that's a 0/10 for accessibility.

And then someone else always points out Wire has metadata and isn't even federated like Matrix so you're back to square one.
Slack is a great example. My first thought was Jira. It’s a great software for functionality, but it’s so unbelievably slow that I tend not to use it at all. We have a quite powerful server for Jira and just five users. It should work out fine, but I encountered waiting times of a minute to just load the start screen.
It feels like running all the time and as soon as you need to do something in Jira you’re trapped in quicksand.
I thought it looked fine. Besides, if you use a high framerate you can always sell a downsample and leave open the possibility of a remaster should tastes change later.

Driving a car is indeed a monetized feature of cars.

He's saying even if a self driving car is more dangerous than a human, a human driven car is still dangerous and we all accept that. So its not about whether the deaths were preventable. We accept human driven cars therefore we accept preventable death.

We're now forced to consider the fact that this is an argument about the fuzzy math of risk vs reward as we have crossed the threshold of preventable deaths long ago.
This is the idiomatic way to add mutable defaults.
1) aren't there specific immutable pass-by-value forms in python? If you pass a default integer, for example, and change the value of that variable in the function body, the next call will respect the default parameter and not the mutated parameter.

2) good point.
What does 'That's beyond my purview' mean?
I disagree with you: You're talking about what happens under a rational behavior.

If you get a lot of money suddenly, that's not the case.
If you invest it all at once in the market, and get by chance high returns quickly, you could start gambing (investing) very quickly.
I’m not sure of the point you’re making. The point is it’s entirely possible to conceive of a complex biological agent that can take actions on the basis of sensory input data without invoking the need for a subjective experience. That would be the ‘philosophical zombie’ described by David Chalmers.

However we have a subjective experience of what it ‘feels like’ to see red. Why is that needed?
Dead is a relative term in this context. The momentum is long gone, and the trend is downhill because the genre got rehashed to death.

I want Blizzard to do well. They proved in the past they were able to make quality games for a fair price. At this point, I don't believe they will. Not anymore.

Diablo 3 at release was disappointing. Titan was cancelled. Warcraft and Diablo fanbase sorely desire not new content for their current games but a new, innovative game (the Diablo Mobile game is not that, nor are the WoW bandaid). My observation is that people want Diablo 4, World of Warcraft 2, Warcraft 4. They're not getting anything remotely like that.

Consider the Warcraft movie. It was only good enough for the die-hard fans.
Frankly it's not even a great parody. Sound more like

> Still using plaintext

directly from /g/. As you noted it's at times inaccurate, uselessly snarky and it distorts logic to prove a point, like saying that since something is a standard it should be blindly accepted and you're a moron for not accepting that some clients can't send plain-text email (which is IMHO a problem with the client, not those asking for plain-text email).

The point about 72-characters wide email, on the contrary, is spot-on. I mean, I would hope that a client can wrap text correctly, regardless of the actual line width. Alas, many terminal emulator still don't do this, which may be considered "UNIX philosophy" (that is, if you need your text wrapped, pipe it through a wrapper first) but to me it's just annoying.
>FWIW, any Americans looking to (try to) help may write their Congress representatives to support the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act.

We just spent the last 3+ years, complaining about foreign meddling in our democracy and now we're right back to advocating that we do it ourselves to someone else.

Amazing.
> Most people I know that don't lift don't care about body shapes

This is a lie and you know it. Everyone and I mean literally everyone cares about appearances. No matter how you slice it everyone has a style they are trying to project. This same goes for body shape.

If we had a pill that instantly -- without effort -- gave everyone a six pack and lean muscular body, everyone of your friends would be on it, because deep down they care.

Problem is one of discipline. It is not easy to wake up early and hit the gym or after hard day of working to do the same. It is not easy to not eat that doughnut (it is Sally's birthday after all and it would be rude not to take a free doughnut).

I am far from perfect, but I try my damnedest each and every day and I'm making progress and I've already noticed it affecting people around me, but I'm also fortunate that the team I work with is full of sport-y people, so at least I get to hang out with "my people", but I feel the difference when I interface with other teams.
I believe the scale isn't correct in many places to enhance gameplay. That said, it is pretty great in VR and the universe replica they created is unmatched in any game.

They are. It's just that outrage media is 100x more powerful and present and as a result every small crime and mishap is shouted from the rooftops 24x7.
I really enjoy your point :-) but I see things differently.
I think stretching your investment means you learn about how markets and investment really works because you will make a lot of mistakes during a period of time.

Rushing into market means you will make less mistakes, but bigger ones.
Keep in mind the race condition in the flow-chart. The algorithm as described will not be safe if the same key is updated concurrently.
It is most likely made of welded titanium particles as others point out.

Imagine a thin layer of titanium dust. Then shine a laser on the points where you want to weld. When done, add another layer over it and repeat.

Or imagine a nozzle which sprays titanium dust. Directly after the nozzle there is a focused laser point. When the dust goes through the laser it welds together. So when you do this close to a titanium surface you can add more titanium to it.

And there are other methods for 3D printing metal. But most of them are just advanced welding techniques.
How do you handle the high range of values? In one part of the site 1000 likes may mean a very high number while in other, a high profile could regularly see millions.
Yup C# is definitely in the king position for application programming right now. Between .net core, asp.net and xamarin you can target absolutely everything. The main impediment to better quality software is devs raised on Linux having irrational aversion to Microsoft still while thinking Google is either competent or benevolent.

I don't understand why you are being downvoted. This struck me not as something that starts to "emerge after you've dealt with enough failures in a given domain" as the author claims, but more like a pet peeve.

The fact that JS has 53 bit precision will be a JS problem whether you use protobuf or anything else. On the other hand, if you are not using JS, it will almost certainly parse numbers of the precision that your language offers.

Ok that's a good point.

A problem could be that people in general don't care about: "increases the power of the government against the innocent" -- because that's a theoretical problem in the "distant" future?

Personally I think the US gov getting too much power and gradually in small steps get access to "everyone's" communication, is like 1000 times more dangerous than "encrypted terrorism messages",

and, what can be a good way to make people in general better understand the risks & dangers with small steps towards a dictatorship? Maybe if everyone reads 1984 :- / or if everyone was better educated about what happens if you're in China an critizise the government there?

I didn't mean literally all lawmakers etc (although that's what I wrote). The next time I can try to write "some of them" instead.
SpaceEngine let's you zoom through _galaxies_ like that old windows screensaver was for stars. I've always sorta understood that the universe was "big", but it never clicked how infinite it really is until I zipped through SpaceEngine for an hour.

That said, Elite: Dangerous is pretty awesome. It helps ground how far away everything is. Even with the game's FTL travel, the fact that it takes actual weeks to reach Sagattarius A* boggles the mind.
I think self enrichment on public projects is a thing anywhere public projects happen. The difference is that in the US it is often the only goal due to the politics involved with creating budgets which often result in bartering silly little projects to make this or that representative vote along. The problem with this is that these small uncoordinated efforts serve no bigger strategy. It's literally nothing more than a photo opportunity for some politician to look good just in time for his next election.

China seems really good at coming up with long term strategies and then executing them over the course of a few decades. The US used to have that ability but seems to have lost that. The highways and railways of the US were built in a very different era where such things were needed and people got tasked with getting things done on an epic scale. A bit like China is today maybe.

China deployed massive amounts of infrastructure over the past few decades. That was intentional and probably made a lot of people very wealthy as a side effect of getting that job done. Maybe not all of that is as effective and there definitely is somewhat of a debt bubble around this.

The fix in the US and Europe is to make public spending on these things sexy again and to stop relying on contractors that are in it for funneling as much public funds to their own pockets as they possibly can. Big government haters have been good at scaling down government, which used to get things done inefficiently but at least got them done and is now simply not getting things done at all. The market did not step in to do it better and when it did get involved, it optimized for profit and enrichment instead of results. Probably by most objective standards this is less efficient from a tax dollar point of view as it is a lot more expensive and the results are decidedly underwhelming.

Here in Berlin, the new airport is a good example of inept politicians making some contractors and themselves very rich while not getting the job done for nearly a decade past its original opening date in 2012, before it became clear that there was not going to be an opening two weeks before the planned date. Especially, when you consider that it is supposed to replace two existing airports that were built with a minimum of fuss and cost in the cold war era when airports simply got built when politicians decided they wanted one. E.g. Tegel, one of the current airports got constructed in 90 days in 1948 to support the Berlin airlift and still serves much of the traffic in Berlin (way more than it was ever intended to be able to handle). Planning for the new airport started in 1996 and it's still unclear if they are actually opening as planned in 2021.
Because they are involved in other car companies and they would lose something if Tesla beats the car companies they are involved with. For instance if you are a supplier and have super good relationships with Ford then you don't want Tesla to beat Ford. Who knows if you can have a similarly profitable and trustable relationship at Tesla.

If we arrive at a working solution faster (i.e. something that prevents more deaths than it causes), it makes sense to speed up its development to get to that state faster.

The question remains if we accept a death by software bug (i.e. human software developer error) in the same way we accept a death by human driving error.
Optimize your productivity for Deep work vs. Shallow work vs. Idea generation
This is great! Many dev hours are spend waiting for the compiler, every second counts!

The second order effects are even worse. After a minute, the programmer will start thinking about other things, running flow.

If compiles regularly take 5min, devs will leave their desks (and honestly, who can blame them for it).
What are the viable monetization strategies if this were open source?
Given that we and everything around us consists of particles obeying the laws of physics, I don’t think it’s odd that the burden of proof should lie with those suggesting the existence of something else.

Remember, we are to the best of our knowledge beings that have evolved from simple cellular organisms obeying the laws of physics. The idea that through that process of evolution we have somehow broken out of the sandbox is extraordinary enough that it would need pretty compelling evidence, no matter how attractive the idea might be.
>Why do some many people hate Tesla and want them to fail?

It is nothing personal, it is business.

There is an entire financial industry that live out of making bubbles the general public can buy(and they can sell to, expensive) and out of popping bubbles through sorting(buying cheap).

When they pop bubbles, it means they can buy extremely cheap things that in normal circumstances their owners will never sell.

The same happens with war, George Soros, himself a jew, helped the natzis against the jews in WWII as an adolescent. It was a wonderful time for Soros, the best in his entire life, in his own words.

If you have a good house, you and your family live well you don't sell it undervalued. If they come after your family to kill them, you will be forced to seel it when lots of people sell(undervalued).

It also helps that the owners of newspapers like the Washington Post or the NYT are actually the financial elite. Those guys can actually create the public opinion they can profit from.

Today, having a free press is a luxury, probably has always been. Good information is not cheap. Like with Facebook, when you access cheap info most of the time it is subsidized by someone against the interest of the general public that consumes it.

If those guys can make a profit destroying Tesla they will. Nothing personal. They will move on to their next target.
So you're saying with the 3 step rollout if rollout 3/3 goes bad you should rollback straight to 1/3? I guess that does make a bit of sense in the case of a database where the newly created values can stick around.

But also there could have been a bug in 1/3 that wasn't exposed until step 3/3. Meaning even rolling back to 1/3 won't solve the problem.

The 2 step rollout is safe if we assume there are no bugs in the code, but problematic if there are bugs. But the 3 step rollout is also problematic if there are bugs. I guess the 3 step rollout has the advantage that it partitions off a section that might be buggier than other sections so that it can be individually disabled. But that'll only help sometimes, and I'm not sure if the additional complexity is worth it.

Flag flip vs code push doesn't seem to make a difference to me. All 3 rollouts could be flag flips enabling code that was written much earlier but hidden behind flags.

Another problem is doing a double rollback like that seems a bit risky to me, because other features that were being deployed simultaneously might not have been designed to handle a double rollback, only a single rollback, so they could break. If we want to allow double rollbacks, we must require that all development not just handle single rollbacks smoothly but also double rollbacks.
Run 3D Graphic on MCU(STM32)
That is always such a funny statement.

The Hong Kong people don't want to be Chinese. Nobody wants to be Chinese. Even the fucking Chinese people don't want to be Chinese.

So what exactly is it that belongs to China? An island? The buildings and roads? I can sure as hell tell you that the hearts of the majority of the people will never ever belong to China.

Freedom of the people is a one way street and any attempt to reverse will always be met with resistance. China will maybe learn this one day, when it stops being a corrupt shithole full of uneducated farmers in the claws of of the worlds most successful PsyOps machine.

Forget your fancy high rise cities and shallow facades that are Shenzhen and Shanghai. Those cities are so far from representing China as anything in this world could ever be. Behind those shiny and polished exteriors lies a rotten police state, which will not think twice about cracking down on you, your family or your friends, if you dare to challenge them and their brittle egos.

Go to any shithole village in China. I can guarantee you that in the top 5 of questions you will get, will be some variant of "Do you hate Japanese too?". Because that is the only button the government has to play with: Indoctrination of hate towards some external force, which is supposedly always responsible for all their hardship. Night after night after night they sit in their little shithole villages in literally shithole houses and watch retarded movies about the Sino-Japanese war, when they are not watching people crying on brain dead soap operas. Killing, crying, killing, crying in an endless cycle.

Now you should ask yourself: "Why suddenly is the Chinese government telling the people in China about the ungrateful rascal rioters in Hong Kong?". Really.. You should ask yourself this question.
Ok, but then your email client should be smart enough that if, for example, you quote two bullet points from a list it doesn't quote them as

Without the surrounding `<ul>`. Luckily Thunderbird is smart enough to do this. I don't know about other clients.

I came to the conclusion that there is definitely an ad network listening in to private conversations on users' phones and that network probably belongs to Facebook.

Recently, I was cleaning my apartment and I moved a heavy piece of furniture to vacuum the dust underneath it and I found a set of clear plastic retainers for teeth.
They must have belonged to the previous tenant who had moved out about 6 months earlier.
The retainers looked like they were 3D printed (lots of small ridges on them) and I told my wife that when I had mine (a decade earlier), they were kind of expensive but these ones were 3D printed so they must be a lot cheaper and we can probably just throw them away.
The conversation lasted no more than a minute.

Next day, I was browsing yahoo.com and the ad banner had a picture of a clear plastic retainer and was advertising 3D printed retainers.
Neither me not my wife had posted anything about the retainers anywhere or discussed it with anyone else or even looked it up on any website (neither of us cares about the subject at all; neither dentistry nor 3D printing).
This is the first time I ever saw advertising related to dentistry or 3D printing.

This is not the first time that I've experienced a creepy ad but it was definitely the most disturbing because:

1. It was an extremely specific and niche subject matter which does not relate to me in any way; it was based on an extremely unlikely freak occurrence.

2. I only spoke about it with my wife in an extremely casual way. Neither of us looked it up online on any website afterwards (we verified). The subject matter only occupied our thoughts for an extremely small amount of time.

3. The ad came up the next day after having the conversation.
I emailed bitmex support and they said it is possible may have been accidentally triggered by them. However they did say they have no issue with the account and that "If you have any issues getting the account re-enabled and think we can assist further please let us know."

I don't really fault them because ultimately Twitter is the one at fault here, being the judge, jury and executioner.
Since my kid was born, maintaining a regular gym workout has been a lifesaver for me.

I find it's so easy to lose sense of time and what is important when you deal with the constant demands of a little baby - having an exercise routine keeps me grounded - it's away from home, something I do on my own, on my own terms and leaves me feeling good about myself.

Finding time to regularly workout is something I'd recommend to all new parents.
