>espouse their basest thoughts and feelings and receive gratification for it -all without challenge.

Yes, this is the problem. There is no challenge to their ideas and thoughts because the conversation/debate has been completely stigmatized that there's no other way to talk about it but anonymously on the far reaches of the internet. Soon it'll be on Tor instead and a terror network will truly form (because they've already gone "so far", why not go further?).

The El Paso mass shooting as well as the anonymous chan hatespeech is nothing but a result of a very poorly moderated debateenvironment in the western world.

Imagine if these young men had someone to talk to 4 years before they found *chan? Someone who listened and validated their thoughts and fears then, before they grew into these sorts of monsters.
That’s a weird thing to say. Google fails at like 90% of the things they do, especially when they try and do it from scratch. Some things they have even failed at multiple times.
That can be a good thing.

Seems like this type of brain-dead simple feature -- frictionless joining of gameplay servers from a friends list -- would be something Mojang should consider adding to up their engagement.

Minecraft is interesting because, according to Google Trends, it had finally been slowly dying out in terms of search volume for years.. (https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=minecraf...)... until a few weeks ago! It has suddenly been spiking almost up to almost where it was in its peak of popularity in mid 2013. PewDiePie started playing it a bunch recently in his videos, so maybe that is the reason.. or maybe there is some other reason that it's been trending that Pewdiepie just picked up on. As not a regular Minecraft player I can only wonder.
Because the benefit of the public restrooms would extend to all private buildings in the area, but the cost would fall entirely on whichever sucker decided to pay for them -- and no one wants to be that sucker. That's why public funding is required to pay for public goods. This is basic economics.
It pushes a personal button because the sheer intellectual dishonesty in service of poisonous self-pitying disgusts me. That the mathematical flim-flammery is so obvious (ah yes, let's just assume that every subset of a normal distribution is also a normal distribution, that definitely makes sense...) and so blatantly assumes its conclusion just makes it even more offending.

> I just know from the (admittedly) small sample I am familiar with, it lines up perfectly.

That's too bad, because it's wrong. For example, the SMPYers, all of whom are almost certainly smarter than even those who could 'clean everyone's clock', are enormously successful, and the ones who could clean the other SMPYers' clocks are even more successful. This is all pre-Internet, too.
That is certainly not extremely unlikely, at least not in any European country I've been to. I'd say at least 80% of the travelers look at their phones, a book, paper etc. I can do it almost any time I choose to.
Late to the comment party, hopefully this still helps someone!

Probably the most important knowledge is to learn the Mac modifier key symbols, since they'll help you learn more

It has nothing to do with the hardware. This will happen on any system with a default Linux install.
>However, the baker in this case specifically argued that homosexuals should be prohibited even from purchasing pre-made off-the-shelf cakes that were not made-to-order. This clearly crosses the line into discrimination of a protected class, so in my view he ultimately got away on a technicality

If political ideology was a protected class, would you be opposed to Cloudfare dropping 8chan?
Well, you’re quoting precisely nothing, and if you were to quote anything then who’s to say that’s not also just “hot garbage that is about as good as the Enquirer as far as the validity of its reporting goes”?

It's especially weird since crop yields are up like 30-40% since 1988. Not that rice is especially nutritious in the first place. It's basically a bunch of carbs with miniscule levels of vitamins.

>The reasons they go after certain sellers and leave others alone are as mysterious as the team behind the decisions.

Is there any report from sellers that were banned just because? I mean, authentic sellers, not fake etc.

Edit: still googling, but it seems in many cases there is a ToS violation, like multiple accounts, or shady practices. One seller got kicked because "we grew up too quickly and we were unable to deliver in time". I am really wondering which sellers got kicked despite being respectful of the rules. All of them, including the user experience, because I think that's main reason amazon kicks you out - if I can get scammed or my items don't ever make it on time, why would I even bother using their service, instead of buying elsewhere?
Having moved from somewhere with working public transportation to the United States (and having lived here for close to a decade), I can assure you it’s not tourist impression.

If it says 200Hz on the box, it must be better than the one that's only 120Hz, right?

This is the amount of research people do before buying something they'll stare at for 4h per day for the next 5 years... Never mind that the native framerate of the panel is only 60Hz.

This is why we get Vivid HDR mode ("Torch mode") and motion smoothing enabled by default.
Amazing. I can see my flat in that photo :)

Anyway, I think there are a few things to point out here:

This program was in place to test the efficiency of sending biological samples between hospitals quickly.

I'm not entirely sure why this is a problem we need to solve. Is it really better to use drone delivery of blood samples to central hospitals than to add another testing machine at the remote location? Seems like the answer could be no.

It's really weird to get a letter in the mail telling you that a blood delivery drone crashed in a lake nearby.

This program seems like it's an answer in search of a problem.
Minecraft as a game has never progressed from where it started. There is nothing new in it (new items, new structures etc don't count, they provide the same experience, just colored differently) while a game like Terreria is done so well with fantastically structured gameplay and progression. After you've gotten to a certain level in Minecraft, the game becomes pointless.

Oh interesting, I didn't realize airpair was basically dead. Looks like last twitter post was in 2016, and their articles all have comments from 4 years ago
I'm personally uncomfortable driving even really nice cars, 'cause you have to pay careful attention to not kill someone. I mean, driving can be fun or exciting - but it's not comfortable or relaxing, I would argue, at least not driving in places where there are other people.

On public transit, on the other hand, I can relax and read and pretty safely ignore the world. Worst case someone grabs my kindle or my phone and runs. I can afford a new phone. (which hasn't happened to me; I'm just saying, that's the biggest risk I see on public transit from relaxing my vigilance. In a car, well, a lot of people have killed other humans because they let their attention wander or decided to change the radio station at an unlucky moment.)

I mean, I'm not saying that your view of comfort is invalid... I'm just saying it's not universal.
One of my personal favourite upsides of syncing Windows settings with an MS account is that it syncs those accessibility features to be disabled.
Sgi IRIX nailed this, FWIW.

It's going great. Stabbing deaths in London in 2018 were just over 3 "El Pasos". It's less than 3X if you change the metric to "2019 mass shootings posted to 8chan ahead of time".

I'm sorry that Fox News has led you so astray, but the whole "actually everyone in London gets stabbed because they don't have guns" narrative is horseshit.
> Is it really better to use drone delivery of blood samples to central hospitals than to add another testing machine at the remote location?

Could it be a case of being cheaper to use drones instead of setting up an actual lab?
I used to run into this problem all the time in grad school. Once a month or so I'd load a data set, do some dumb Python operation on it that took significantly more memory than I predicted, and BAM! I'd have to restart my laptop.

I just kinda assumed that's how computers worked until I got a Mac a couple of months ago...

The link suggests that there might be some default parameters you could change to protect against this behavior. Does anyone have any suggestions on what settings to change?
Depends on your city, but in the european metropolis I lived in, packed public transport was the exception (so was rude behaviour and smell). Contrary to that traffic jams and endless searches for parking lots were the norm when I went by car.

European cities are for historical reasons less practical to commute to by car, because they are dense, have never been planned with cars in mind and there is literally no space for your car. In such a setting a well funded public transport system makes all the sense in the world, because it uses the space more efficiently than the usual one-person-car-commuter.
Edinburgh has some pretty cool plans for making more streets pedestrianised. It also helps that these streets are popular with tourists so doesn't make sense for cars to be going around a medieval city centre.
HN is generally pro-car. Car are viewed as an absolute necessity, and the climate problem is gonna be solved via a tech-fix by going electric, ignoring that this isn't really a solution.
It's not hard to learn how to drive in a society where most people want to learn. A couple of decades after self-driving cars are commonplace there won't be any instructors working in cities, the rules will be very restrictive for what human drivers are allowed to do, and lessons will be astromonically expensive due to the low demand.
The point is, who’s gonna be the arbiter of what’s absolute good and what’s absolute bad? What happens if people disagree? Where is the line?

If you find something like 8chan and point it out to Cloudflare, should they ban it? If they say no that’s not as bad, well why is their value judgment worth more than that of other people? If they say okay, then anyone can get anything they judge to be as bad as 8chan ‘banned’ from it.
That almost sounds like interlacing, but when you say it was only parts of the image that were moving, I don't know.

I agree with everything you say. However, everything you mentioned about how Amazon could act in the future is speculation. I agree that when / if they start raising prices they should be considered a monopoly and heavily scrutinized and possibly regulated. But at this point, there is no justification in doing that as they haven't crossed that line.

I feel like a lot of people jump to attack Amazon on the basis of what they could do (because they're so big) instead of what they're doing currently.
The entire point behind free-speech is that all opinions are allowed to be held and voiced without preconditions. It's not free if it only encompasses things you don't find morally reprehensible.

Well, there probably needs to be a way to override the heuristic at least, sort of a 'this process is important, don't auto-kill it if trying to find memory'.

As for ssh specifically, I rarely ssh into my desktop machine, but I keep sshd running for just this kind of situation where I might need to try and rescue a swamped machine. So in most cases low-volume sshd use is exactly what is called for.

If you're running into the memory purge of doom on a server that's probably a whole different nightmare scenario.

malloc returning NULL has been a broken assumption for a long time though, and that isn't going to change afaik.
I've tried OOM killers and thrash-protect. I've tried numerous tweaks to the vm and swap setting. Nothing works. Memory use gets into the 90%s and the system freezes, hard.

Nonetheless, I'm surprised someone is calling this a bug. Let's face it, Linux is just not a desktop operating system. It's a server operating system, and it expects that it will be professionally administered and tightly controlled to prevent OOM situations. That OOM situations occur on servers too is beside the point. There are reasons for the linux memory system to work as it does, reasons Linus will yell at you about if you complain.

Don't we have https://write.as/ as well?

We really need to get people to be able to type math and code.

Basically, bring back the proliferation of blogs! All the net needs is a standard API (non-disqus) which will allow people to discover and comment.
That seems a bit inflammatory. Anecdotally most of the people I've interacted with especially like open source. My team is increasing our involvement in the open source projects we use.

A lot of the internal tooling is due to legacy and inertia. There's 20+ years of history, and so much has been built and continues to be built that it's enormous investment to steer a different direction. Incremental improvements have higher reward ratio. But people do want better a better development experience, especially w.r.t. idiomatic language tooling.

That being said, initiatives are brewing for that "enormous investment".
Hiroshima and Nagasaki on the cutting room floor
I use a swap file these days because in the 4 years since I purchased my computers I went from never hitting 32gigs of memory used at the same time, to hitting it once a week. The worst offenders are browsers and the JVM. The swap file saves me from those 20 seconds of distraction when running a variable memory workload that suddenly jumps over the limit and hardlocks the computer for hours on end. If I was doing something important I will wait for OOM killer to maybe reap the evil children, but otherwise I just power cycle the system and add a note to put the swap file in fstab.
> I think pretty much everyone reasonable agrees that "kill the {jews,muslims,hispanics}" (once more, folks, this was the THIRD ethnic massacre advertised on 8chan!) is intolerant, no?

I mean, saying something like "Kill the Terrorists" would be something many people agree with or find to be tolerant. This shows that there is some group of "terrorists" that people are happy to have killed.
There is now a way to mark processes as OOM-killer exempt

https://backdrift.org/oom-killer-how-to-create-oom-exclusion...

Part of the issue with processes stuck in D state (waiting for the kernel to do something) is that it is deeply tied into kernel assumptions about things like NFS, NFS is stateless, and theoretically severs can appear and disappear at will, and operations will keep working when it comes back. You can make NFS a hell of a lot less annoying in this regard by mounting it with soft or intr flags, however if the network disappears or hiccups, you WILL lose data (the network is NEVER reliable, in fact the entire model of NFS is arguably wrong to begin with)
To be fair, having a tracked history does make it easier to prove that you are human.
Well, if far right terrorists can just stay or find another place, then how is Cloudflare’s action suppressing them? You seem to be defending their action but at the same time implying it has no effect.

Dummy question. I leave near the sea. If so many ice is melting why I cannot see the sea rising?
Actually most major cities were rebuilt after WW2 due to destruction. Prague is an example of a city that wasn't rebuilt and the city centre is unusable by public transport - car is about the longest vehicle that can fit in many turns there. We solve that with underground garages and subway.
> There is a reason for this decision [...]

You seem to misunderstand that reason. It is because qualifying the evil is best done out of the license, and not because qualifying the evil is universally bad.

It should be noted that the Debian Free Software Guidelines words that decision as "no discrimination" and this choice is not light---it is there to prevent prejudicial behaviors by licenses. And that doesn't mean that the society should not judge them either (otherwise it won't function at all). The DFSG doesn't prevent you from doing evil with a free software and face the postjudicial consequence at all.

> [...] it applies to speech as much as it does to software.

And that's where your comparison is wrong. Not because the freedom of speech is not absolute (this is a tough topic by itself) but because 8chan was blamed because it didn't even acknowledge the post-judgement.
Completely agree! There is more and more liquidity these days for later stage startups! Not only are people paying up to get in, but sometimes they're paying a premium to what the last VCs paid.
If the alternative is simply killing a process or crashing the kernel, then surely a better approach would be to suspend the offending process and call a handle that does something. If you want that something to restart the machine, fine. You want it to notify the administrator, fine.
I mean, I'd you asked me this question in anytime between 1995 and 2007 I would completely disagree with you. But I feel the past decade has been relatively iterative and not as revolutionary.

I think around the early 1900s people experienced rapid technological changes as the automobile and electricity spread throughout the U.S. within a decade or two. I think change happens rapidly but in spurts. I believe the 2020s will be another period of rapid change.

I dunno, I think this still reveals some patterns:

Typically asleep around 5-8AM despite irregular sleep schedule, generally including 4 and 9 AM as well.

Frequently staying up to around 2 or 3 AM.

Lunch typically around 12, lull in work after lunch = more time to browse and make comments.

Dinner typically at 7. Spike in browsing HN after dinner while full, then focus on work or relax for a couple hours, before starting to drift off and get back to browsing HN around midnight.

Happy to hear if this is close or way off haha. But I suspect despite the patterns not being as clearcut, this is still enough to pinpoint your time zone within a couple hours.

Not true. Sure, one of the largest shopping centers in Europe is south of Vienna now (has been there since 1976), but the street mentioned here was very accessible by car and people (including me) found it very comfortable to park in one of the public garages and go shopping there. There was also a large furniture store with its own pickup spot/garage ("Leiner", closed now after going broke).
