Seems like "Amy" missed out on that unique moment in history. I joined in the early Slashdot days and the occasional mailing list, and was fascinated how sophisticated the discussions were. Knowledgeable people went great lenghts to prove their points and didn't hesitate to tell others they were wrong. Up-and downvoting comments worked. Usernames were pretty much anonymous and and arguments had to stand on their own merit. I felt like finally there was a medium where reason and facts could prevail. Finally!

But Amy's world has won, the social web is a popularity contest, discussions are group-think and emotion-based, "white male nerds" can be ridiculed. Tragic.

That's why it's not easy. Most people are already entangled in those networks. They use Google Docs to write papers and presentations, they have an Android phone, a GMail address, and the websites they visit are filled with trackers for all sorts of things. It's entirely possible to avoid all of these things, but not easy. It requires a certain amount of technological savvy that most people don't have. It should be within easy reach of everybody, and it's really not.

I've thought similar things about ancient empires, or even pre-computerized ones. The Roman Empire managed a territory nearly 10x larger than any individual modern European country and yet they only had parchment, papyrus, and wax tablets.
> a lot of communities of post-university Internet were text-only pseudonymous communication anyway

So is this. Which is enough for you to spread the old, tired, harmful, and incorrect trope that "people who are not in tech are just not interested". A text-only discussion of how women or minorities don't belong because they don't want to belong is unwelcoming in itself.

> As for what's today, increasingly it's being white or male that makes you out of place in a hacker space.

You are twisting my words. For one thing, I don't feel "out of place" among non-white non-male people. People are people, I'm not afraid of them because of the color of their skin or what I guess their genitalia are like. For the other, all the hacker spaces I've seen where I didn't feel welcome had large white male majorities.
To add to the list of bugs, what the actual fuck is going on with SideCar? It barely works and every time I turn it on, it destroys the colors on the laptop screen. Whites become yellow and colors are partially inverted. It's worse than the betas (which also had its fair share of bugs while connecting)

Thank you so much for that! And I agree, even though I do support the protests in HK in their five demands, there is no need to exaggerate or cut away context, ever, and it happens habitually. Yet, trying to be fair, just adding very relevant information, often gets one put onto a "side" and treated accordingly. This, too, needs to be resisted.

"should be prioritized" is a very subjective statement. Out of every 100 tickets, there is 50 people who believe theirs is the most important one. And we have over 200k tickets total (not all are bugs, many are resolved, but the scale is massive).

OK, I think I may have been misunderstood...

What they are doing in that space is valuable. However, with just a bit more tweaking, they could offer something a whole lot more valuable in parallel, and leave this whole semi-open x86 issue behind. If they were to offer even a couple of actually open source firmware systems, and indicate somewhere in the marketing that the x86 boxes are only partly open source, that would not only eliminate the entire controversy here but also allow them to take the next logical step in open software. If their core mission has basically been to make open source easy to consume, that's a worthy goal; why not go a bit further and make open source on open hardware with fully open firmware just as easy to consume?

Clearly there's demand, from the comments in this thread alone!

Ok, I'm very much pro-native for intensive applications, but...

> Meh, the first thing about the browser games is the load time. It's not like downloading a native game and reliably storing it.

What's the difference between native game on an SSD vs browser game on an SSD (web local storage)? (Ok, other than time taken compiling that js monster, unless webassembly is used.)

> The second thing were the CPU/memory problems because all the code was in js.

First of all, you can also use webassembly. Secondly, you can program js in ways that don't cause much memory bloat. Native arrays, etc. Especially when compiled from C/C++/Rust etc.

Of course browser games have significant handicap. But I don't see any reason for them not to eventually reach at least 50% performance compared to native. Maybe even more. For a lot of applications, that's more than enough.

There is similar recent technological development in missile accuracy that has changed the balance between the US and Russia to favor the US. It's completely missing the discussion when there is fret about Russian doomsday weapons. Russia needs more doomsday weapons and movable missile launchers just to match the US.

The Bulletin has great detailed article: How US nuclear force modernization is undermining strategic stability: The burst-height compensating super-fuze https://thebulletin.org/2017/03/how-us-nuclear-force-moderni...

>Our conclusions. Under the veil of an otherwise-legitimate warhead life-extension program, the US military has quietly engaged in a vast expansion of the killing power of the most numerous warhead in the US nuclear arsenal: the W76, deployed on the Navy’s ballistic missile submarines. This improvement in kill power means that all US sea-based warheads now have the capability to destroy hardened targets such as Russian missile silos, a capability previously reserved for only the highest-yield warheads in the US arsenal.

>The result is a nuclear arsenal that is being transformed into a force that has the unambiguous characteristics of being optimized for surprise attacks against Russia and for fighting and winning nuclear wars. While the lethality and firepower of the US force has been greatly increased, the numbers of weapons in both US and Russian forces have decreased, resulting in a dramatic increase in the vulnerability of Russian nuclear forces to a US first strike.

Curious Case of Java String HashCode
Sure. It might be quite long if I really explained in detail, though. I really need to write the book of that eventually. Here's the very incomplete gist of it.

The idea of an intelligence switch is basically a set of methods, a system, to train and foster the use of some "meta" forms of intelligence so to speak, whose primary purpose is to improve / enable / train intelligence itself. It's very much not a hack (efforts...) but does yield compound-like growth. It's very transdisciplinary in nature in that it does require exposing yourself to many fields and many mental frameworks or logics/models (the more, the better I suppose).

I guess you could say it's a framework for the languages of intelligences, whose output (UI) is conscious thought and effect is actual real-world skills (actions) or models (world views) — technical, mental, social, emotional, political etc. What an exquisitely cheesy yet accurate-enough metaphor.

It's pratically very comprehensive and probably sounds like "be great all-around with a super-trained brain" to most people, I'm afraid. Not quantum science though, elements and concepts are quite simple, but there's no shortcut to training each step.

If you want pointers you might recognize, there's the book "Mindset" by Carol Dweck (2008, iirc), and a certain branch of (very practical, down-to-earth) philosophy dating back to Ancient Stoics all the way to 20th century Stephen Covey (the famous "7 habits", at least one in particular), passing by Viktor Frankl ("3rd" school of psychoanalysis dubbed "logotherapy" from logos, speech).

You might have heard the quote: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

Well, the training/building of this "space" + a "growth" mindset, I argue, can take 80% of people at least halfway there (leaps and bounds further than whatever is/are current average intelligences, well enough to kickstart and reap massive further improvements over the next generations).

Knowledge of these methods and principles reminds me a lot of the Scientific Method for instance, hard at first to mold your brain with such rigor, but once internalized a formidable enabler of thought — at a civilizational scale. It's just vastly more general in scope than science or logic, and encompasses — by definition, not necessarily easily/always felt — all possible forms of intelligence, including meta-intelligence itself.

It's no secret either, most of it is out there for the taking, has been for decades, sometimes millennia; but there is so much noise and intox obfuscating.

> For one thing, I don't feel "out of place" among non-white non-male people

This seems like your own biases are your worst enemy then. So a predictor of your comfort is the non-white, non-maleness of the group? I wonder what this predictor would be called if it was black men that made you feel uncomfortable?

You really feel equally "in place" among a group of Hmong women as you do among a group of Honduran women as you do among a group of Nigerian women, but you can't get settled in a group of Russian women?
>I love to look through old code, add missing testcases and fix minor issues.

You've been working with decent code, in that case.

The legacy stuff I come across isn't even testable without massive refactoring, even if the company allows you to do that in the first place.

Also, deprecated libraries for which there is no upgrade, which leads to further framework support issues (e.g. you can't upgrade X 'cos it doesn't support Y where swapping out X would take siginificant effort).

The worst problem I come across is spaghetti code where the business logic is ridiculously hard to follow, and it's not entirely clear if something is intentional or not, till you inevitably break it, and get an angry email from someone you didn't even know used the system.
You're lucky. Some people will try to get you fired if you touch their code. Some managers see modifying an existing code base as a waste of time.

In some work environments you can easily take ownership of a project, and some not.
> Because it's 2.5 kilowatt blower making 78 dB of noise, according to the technical spec under that link. With these parameters, you should be able to dry your hands in 5 seconds while keeping them a meter away.

This is a really bizarre statement. You throw some numbers up and then say “obviously it should work how I said”. But it’s not obvious at all. Those numbers don’t intuitively tell me that it should my hands in 5 seconds. Indeed my intuition (and that manufacturer’s specs) says that’s wildly inaccurate.

I’m really confused by your “1 meter away” claim. At a meter away you’re basically just waiting for ambient air to dry your hands. The fact that they measure decibels a meter away doesn’t mean that’s where your hands should be.
