They also used this method to block region restricted content. Here in Aus Foxtel has a monopoly on all the good shows, they charge >$100 per month if you want access to everything on their crappy, ageing cable tv network. After Netflix blocked the vpn workaround, alot of people went back to torrenting
I wish they bundled in language server functionality instead of relying on 3rd party packages for it. I had to do a fresh install earlier this year, and there was a ~1 month period where you couldn't install the recommended language server plugin because the single person who had control of the repo didn't have time to update the plugin to pull dependencies from BitBucket because BitBucket changed their API. I primarily use Sublime for Rust development, and without the language server plugin you don't get much benefit besides syntax highlighting.
are you using syntax highlighters for the csv. if you open it without syntax highlighting you may find very large performance increases.
They should use a cdn

Chess is already very difficult, combinatorially. Chess players learn patterns with the current pieces. Those patterns include patterns that work both locally and globally. When learning a particular pattern, chess players typically can generalize that pattern to other cases. (This is what tactics training is all about. You're almost never going to find the exact same pattern that you learn in tactics training in the real world but tactics training will help you recognize similar patterns.) New pieces are going to give you new patterns you have to learn. But ranks, files, and diagonals are not going away. New pieces will likely be a bishop-knight combo piece and a rook-knight combo piece as in Seirawan chess. Therefore, they will still have common patterns you can recognize. The larger board is not a non-issue but it's not anywhere near as drastic a change as you're making it out to be. Most tactics in chess don't make use of the fact that the board is 8x8 rather than 10x10. They'll work in both boards.

> Delete HTTP from the browser entirely, right?

It’s not being deleted, but Chrome at least has been gradually phasing in a warning in the address bar whenever you visit an HTTP site. [1] (Firefox will apparently do the same starting soon.) I wouldn’t be surprised if the warning UIs get more aggressive a few years down the line, as HTTPS adoption continues to increase.

A person who is confident speaks authoritatively and, when asks, backs up their statements with evidence.

A person who is arrogant speaks authoritatively but tries to weasel out of justifying their statements by using logical fallacies, deflecting attention to others or other matters, or bullshitting.

There's also a general attitude component that seems pretty common. A confident person doesn't need to put their ego on display for everyone, because they believe their positions have a firm foundation in data or fact to stand on. An arrogant person will tend to engage in a lot of bluster and undeserved self-promotion to distract from the lack of quality of their ideas.

Both confident and arrogant people can be right and wrong at various times. I'd like to believe the confident person is generally more right than the arrogant person, but that isn't necessarily the case. Having worked for and with both types of people, I would rather work for someone confident, even if there was an arrogant person who was right more often. The stress and disgust that comes with working with arrogant people just isn't worth it to me.
Come work at Amazon. If you can survive at Amazon, you can literally work anywhere afterwards (assuming they hire you and you’re not an asshole).
Sometimes, less is more. I completely agree that if you do need IDE-like features, then Sublime is most likely not for you, and any plugin trying to replicate those features falls pretty flat. But if you're doing simple file editing,
I much prefer Sublime Text as it's faster and the UI much cleaner, not bloated with hundreds of buttons and options and huge context menus for things I'll never need.

A lot of IDEs have silly limitations about creating projects or files. I like being able to open a blank scratch file on Sublime, set the syntax mode if I need to, and start editing text right away. The half a second to open is also amazing.
Interesting, thanks for explanation

>How is an asset that holds its value a subsidy

If it is stabilized by a government to hold its value while marginal assets on the private markets only offers negative returns (adjusted for risk and liquidity), the government stabilized asset is effectively a forced subsidy.

It's a subsidy to those who hold the subsidized asset from those who don't hold any (though long term it's a bit unpredictable who exactly ends up footing the bill, it depends on whether it happens through inflation or taxes or price distortions etc.).

What is super destructive about this type of subsidy is that it displaces private investment. The world shifts from people owning real shit, such as factories, inventories, business infrastructure, machinery, houses, cars, etc. to collectively holding government manipulated tokens. While for an individual, holding the tokens is more advantageous, for the aggregate it's super destructive as it becomes a negative sum game.

Tokens are just IOUs. They don't have intrinsic value. When everyone wealth is in the form of a promise that everyone else owes them something, no one really has anything.

I'd separate "valid" and "reasonable". UK ISPs have a "valid" reason to DPI DNS and block pornhub, but i wouldn't say its reasonable for them to mess with internet packets not destined for their network. Thankfully DoH pressures them to suck it up and accept that blocking needs to be done by parents via parental controls.
This was an interesting find.

I just want to use this moment to thank the creators of Sublime Text. Thank you for an awesome text editor. Who knew it could make editing life so much simpler!
The fact that an ISP can snoop customers' data and DNS requests is a side-effect of their business. I don't buy any of the 'responsibility to law enforcement' argument at all, for a number of reasons but the one pertinent to this issue is that privacy legislation is about 30-years out of date - and it's basically this legislation-lag that's the loophole allowing ISPs to do whatever they want with the data.

And it's legislation that no Government is in any hurry to amend because it serves their purposes in maintaining the façade of 'keeping our citizens safe'.

Additionally, this statement is almost entirely the opposite of my understanding. DoH ENSURES that ISPs cannot be held responsible at least for the DNS content since they cannot see it for technical reasons:

TL;DR DoH and DoT are challenging established law in telecoms and big ISPs who have common-carrier defence depend on interception in DNS and DPI and the like, to perform their role facing LEA demands from the state which in many cases are entirely normal and justified
Though it has seemed to lose its market share over the past few years, there still isn’t a text editor to date that can efficiently handle what Sublime can. For me, it’s search, multi-cursor selection, OOTB shortcuts, and performance are unrivaled. Do I use VSCode, PyCharm, and Vim for most things? Yes. But when I need to edit text, lots of it, and fast, I always fall back to Sublime. Outside of it not having the things that would turn it into an IDE like VSCode, Sublime just feels like a more sane environment to work in for me, at least for text editing.

Examples: Needing to edit Maya ASCII files (3D DCC) that can easily range from 10,000 to several hundred thousand lines. Most apps can’t even open these files, yet ST processes them like a champ. I’ve opened 3-5GB text files in Sublime before with little fuss. Scrolling performance does get affected a bit, but at least I can do what I need it to do.
This article is really interesting. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. it feels borderline bigoted, basing it's entire argument on some unmeasurable "return to the average".

Also not sure why the parent user is posting it multiple times. Not cool...
We literally see this thread every month. The answer is yes, recruiters/founders/managers hire people from HN.
Again, how exactly is it being implemented?

All you came up with is the extradition bill, and that, again, has been withdrawn.
It's more an industry error, I suspect. The University I went to forced all the Software Engineers to do some of the traditional Engineering papers, including courses on ethics. The professional institute that accredits the University's ability to call their course an Engineering course required those courses.

Courses like that don't fix unethical people, but they make the rest of us aware that ethical concerns exist. Software/Computer Science is such a young discipline that, industry-wide, I don't think we've learnt that one from the other industries yet.
This is something I really think should be opt-in, even if it's via a notification toast.

>They do use that information, it's not necessarilly sketchy. They run analytics just like everyone else.

First of all, I think the extent of the data collection that many companies engage in is sketchy.

That aside, if a website runs analytics that you don't like, you can stop using it. There are usually alternatives, if you're willing to give up some convenience. But if your local ISPs are monitoring you, not using the internet isn't really an option these days.

I really wish we didn't have to treat our ISPs as adversaries in that regard, but we've been at that point for a while.

same difference. i need to be paid the same, otherwise i can't afford working for you.

and i decidedly disagree that cheaper living isn't always worse. it is. that was the whole point of my post. traveling to visit family, sending my kids to a school with european standards, getting insurance for european quality medical care, all are expensive no matter where i go.

i have lived on 4 continents in dozens of countries. i have yet to find a place where a high standard of living was cheaper.

cheaper living always required trade-offs.
> So in your eyes, "probably better than China" is the optimum?

Being "better", whatever that means, would still be at the bottom. It'd be difficult to do worse, assuming the Xinjiang / HK stuff.
Exactly how I see them. One of my favorite use cases of Sublime is the 'FilterPipes' command. You can use it to transform the text in numerous ways (such as converting case). You can even write your own text transformation logic in Python. But my favorite use case is the 'Send Text to Command'. I just invoke gnu utilities, like sed or awk (my most common one is 'grep -i filtertext' to only display lines which match a certain pattern), which are accessible from Sublime because they're on my %PATH% on Windows. So I'm basically doing things in Sublime that Vim users think are only possible to vimmers in a unixy world. I'm filtering/transforming text very effectively, all without having to retain in memory some very arcane commands.
I think the key to this is to hide the robots from public view. Crank out pizzas, but not with the machine in human view. Have someone visibly handing them out. Let buyers assume the pizzas are made by artisans out the back.
you can never counter someone taking a picture of the screen.

Except with digital watermarks. Photocopiers generally recognize things like currency and refuse to copy at high fidelity. The PS3 I believe would refuse to play ripped cinema soundtracks all the way through, using audio watermarking. It's conceivable that cameras could be required to do the same thing for digital restriction watermarks.
You basically go deeper.. the standard psychological way to do this is to listen and genuinely be interested and ask them to tell you more. Be curious about why they think what they do. Don't argue but seek an understanding of where they are coming from. Usually this forces them to think through their arguments. In the end they will hopefully see the incompetence of their position and probably adapt. This is not easy to do but if you ever have had a highly skilled manager you will see them do this in a group dynamic where there is conflict. It's basically magic.

FWIW, Chrome using an upgrade list only checks the system config (doesn't do any "do I eventually end up using 8.8.8.8" checks), so it shouldn't upgrade DoH even if your backend resolver is a third-party.
Citation for 5.56 vs .223?

Fact: The external case and bullet dimensions are functionally identical

Fact: The chamber dimensions in respective rifles are close enough, +/- machining tolerances, that "very dangerous" is inaccurate fearmongering

Fact: 5.56 max pressures exceed .223 pressures (to the tune of ~12.5%), but both are subject to the vagaries of exact loading

So while it's not a good idea to fire 5.56 out of a cheap .223 rifle, it's not a death wish to do so out of a .223 engineered to accept the additional pressure.

Curious where you're getting your information?
This comment also reminded me of highschool - "Yeah, I'm a nerd who gets bullied but hey, at least I'm not like this other nerd who gets bullied. Actually, I agree with the people who bully him that at least he deserves it."
I don't get why you'd think direct to the root DNS servers would be worse than using your ISPs servers. Using the root servers means you get DNSSEC which would prevent the greatest threats, hijacking and injection.

Computing the nth cell clearly takes at least 1 time unit, and by the definition of O(), we have 1 = O(n). I’ll be claiming my $10,000 now.

(More seriously, don’t confuse O() with Ω() and Θ(), folks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_notation.)
Your point is taken. But, I think there's consensus that the term "Jewish" doesn't unambiguously refer to an ethnicity, because one common definition is that Jewish refers to a religion. Orthodox Judiasm confers full "Jewishness" on Orthodox converts, and most ethnicity definitions have to double-check with one's birth / blood relatives.

There is a belief that many of the "Jewish" ethnic groups form one nation (Zionism tends to hold this) and I suppose there are people who extend that to a broader definition of "ethnicity."
Sorry about that, please send me a note at andrew@gaiagps.com, and I'll check it out.
Why can't your local LAN DNS resolver support DoH itself if it can act as a DoH client to authoritative servers? That way the browser would know it can trust it to begin with.
Thats also false.

Mozilla added a canary domain (use-application-dns.net) that if blocked will default to the local dns resolver. There are several threads in the pihole community about blocking it by default so I expect that will be done before mozilla turns int on for the masses.
Why is there no mention of the Canadian/Alibaba issues on the Alibaba Wikipedia article?
I have this adversarial opinion that I think is very unusual. Would love to hear your perspective.

Google pissed in the punch bowl by offering google fiber.

This forced the carriers to perceive google as an existential threat they are absolutely dependent upon for cheap ass android and ISP revenue from YouTube.

The only move they could make was to make google bleed. So they start offering content monetization and competing advertising platforms. Their goal isn’t to win, it’s to HURT GOOGLE. Advertising prices go down when there is meaningful competition. So shitty content monetizatuon from Comcast and VZ & ATT forces the price of google advertising down.

There is a big part of me that is pulling for the carriers on this front. I’m bummed more people don’t see it this way.
Why are those plans "obviously good"?
They promote a view of the web that is all about piping a ton of content, sprinkled with ads, to passive consumers; just like TV.
Not too much. Slack has built-in video calling features already and what I'm doing is outside of their core focus. But it's a possibility.
I said the opposite, animals are _not_ able to give consent. If you misspoke I don't really know what to say, you think that it's possible for a cow to give a human consent to take their child and milk?

I've worked on questionable projects at a big telecom. I refuse to run ISP provided modems/routers at home, i refuse to use my isps dns and use dns-tls etc etc based on what i have seen.

The devs have often said things bad idea and raise concerns unfortunately you generally have no power, the decision to implement something is made above you. Generally the people making the decisions know things are questionable but you need to make your KPIs / get promoted / earn more money for the company etc etc.

If you don't follow a direct order and refuse to work on a piece of work in reality you will be fired.

That leaves you with the option of looking for a new job yourself or being forced to find a new job as you was kicked out.

While some people can take the moral highground, outright refuse and resign, others have to deal with life issues such as paying the bills and supporting a family which makes it extremely hard to pick a fight refusing to do something. We do not like to think it but we are just another cog in the wheel and dispensable.
