One of the big concerns here is that this is another instance of "making the internet less decentralized by leaning on Cloudflare."

Someone once pointed out that if the NSA wanted to build a front company whose goal was to make hoovering up the internet easier, it would probably look a lot like Cloudflare. I'm generally not much of a conspiracy theorist, but this one has been frustratingly difficult to shrug off.
Adore Envy Code R. Wish it was something I could purchase and have maintained, one of the very few customisations I make on a new box is configuring things to use it.
Honestly, in my experience, most Americans are simply unaware of viable alternatives. America is a sort of universe-unto-itself, where it's possible to live your entire life without knowing much about the outside world. I imagine China is fairly similar.
Citizen Science Effort Seeks to Survey the Entire Great Barrier Reef
It's hearsay ("a lot of friends reported") and if they are removing posts/comments en masse, it appears to be explainable by anti-terrorism-guidelines, because the groups praised (in what you translated) are considered terrorist groups or affiliate with terrorists in the US/West.

There might be something there that is worth looking into, but in the current form, it's not really obvious. HN isn't really meant for outrage, "raising awareness" etc, especially when it's mostly unsubstantiated rumors; use Twitter or Reddit for that.

Analyze it thoroughly, write an article, take other explanations into consideration and explain why & how you ruled them out, and post that as a SHOW HN.

As someone who has been doing Clojure/Cljs for a long time, I really appreciate it whenever someone goes the extra mile in explaining the basics - All the things clojurians take for granted in their every day work. Kudos to the author!
It didn't say that actually. Whilst men may be nearly all rated as less attractive than average by women (lol), women are still more likely to message less attractive men than men are women. So men can use dating sites, especially if they're willing to hit on average looking women, they'll just have to put up with a partner who is convinced she compromised physically.
Dell XPS - its the sexiest laptop that runs Linux.
Good points. As others have said, I'll probably move off later on, but for now I intend to stay with them (similarly I've been with Gmail for a while and now moved off to stuff like Fastmail, hosting my own "dropbox", etc.).

Primarily because for beginners it's a bit easier to setup everything without much hassle.
To join my voices to the choir.

Timex 2068 Basic, Z80, GW-Basic, Turbo Basic, 80x86 and then came to learn Turbo Pascal (started with 4.0 and did all of them up to Delphi 2).

Thanks to this path I got to learn systems programming in high level mostly safe languages, modules, OOP and my very first framework experiences, Turbo Vision (OWL, VCL as well).

For me this was a very lucky path, because I never got tainted that C and C++ were the only God sent programming languages for systems programming.

And best of all, I never had any issues to deal with pointers in C and C++.
Changing IPs can be dealt with network-wide DHT or a known-peer approach.

The NAT traversal shenanigans only have to be successful on one side. When the geek manages to be reachable, they can talk to their grandparent, given they use software that tries to connect them, like RetroShare.

This doesn't cover all cases, but enough to be useful and valuable.

Giant to Sell 600k E-Bikes This Year
Good point. I think they crossed a line when they shut down controversial sites, which they shouldn't have, but at the same time it's easier for beginners to start out with everything.
ASCII diagrams in comments/docstrings are doable if your editor supports custom faces. For example `M-x list-faces-display` on emacs tells me that (among other things) I can customize:

- font-lock-comment-face
- font-lock-doc-face
- org-table (also depends on alignment)
Both were designed by the same studio, and the Go fonts are clearly inspired by the Luxi family: https://twitter.com/0intro/status/799230797601525765
I think it was certbot that was recommended by DO to use; I used certbot and it was super easy to setup, but at the moment I feel that Cloudflare's security, fast delivery, and analytics will keep me onboard until I can self host/do myself when I have a good amount of time.
My ex I lived with for a decade would go on and off the pill mostly to deal with her adult acne in the first few years we were together, in our mid 20s.

Every time she got back on it we'd have insane arguments and go through crazy volatile periods where the relationship was crumbling. She'd get off it, and everything would magically stabilize again.

Her eventual decision to stay permanently off it was one of the best things that ever happened to our relationship.
Have fun with older women who got past their teeny screamy phase, whilst learning how to be charming, interesting and good conversation. Steadily improve your looks and build up a career. Then by the time the average man reaches thirty he'll find he can easily compete with YouTube singers if he really wants to date 20 year olds, but also women his own age or older too.

Worked for me. Yes young men struggle to date young women, but wasn't it always like that? Women respond to age and age signals in the reverse way to men.
Not saying you're wrong, but then these groups would be quite misguided: a woman learning the pill is bad is certainely not going to just stop contraceptives and start making kids.

She's just gonna change to another contraceptive, such as a copper IUD which is very common in my part of the world.
There were plenty of them available as type-in from books and magazines, and 8 bit scene already had quite a few public domain tape/floppy exchange going on over snail mail.

And in many countries piracy was anyway rampant, so if one really wanted them, it wasn't a big issue to find a shop selling copied tapes, with copied manuals and stuff.

The biggest issue was fitting everything into 64KB, or switching tape/floppies all the time.
#2 looks like it violates the content rule I posted above.

#1 would be really intersting to see good sources on. Barring that, I imagine it was removed for being "False news", another community guideline violation.
Every thread about programming fonts is not complete without mentioning the wonderful website https://app.programmingfonts.org (no affiliation, I just find it really useful) which lists all the free programming-related fonts with live preview (for example every single font from the article, and every one mentioned so far in every comment in this thread is already there in the app) - it allows quick one-click preview with custom text on each font, and has direct links for downloading said fonts.

Every font from this thread is already there in the app so you might as well just try them all.

I switched from a 2018 mbp 13” i5 to a surface pro 6 also i5, and I haven’t looked back. Development is much, much nicer with VSC and WSL, and while I do think Mac OS is better than Windows, it’s not that much of a difference.

One thing I will say though is that you don’t get the same resale value. I sold my MBP for around 80% of its original cost after one years usage, my surface pro on the other hand pretty much lost all of its value the moment I walked out the shop.

As a long time Mac user, the switch was surprisingly easy. I do miss not having iMessage and a few other Mac ecosystem tools, but with more and more of my friends switching to android it’s becoming less and less of an issue. Over all the Microsoft surface line feels like products that Apple should have designed.
So they start with talking about ESNI and then kinda completely gloss over it afterwards. Yeah you can reuse the TLS session if several sites are using the same CDN, however, this is again relying on centralization for privacy.

The cool thing about DNS architecture is the fact that it is decentralized. Mozilla's plan with DoH tries to fix missing features in DNS by getting rid of arguably the biggest killer feature DNS has.

Furthermore, several governments use DNS right now to block websites deemed illegal in their country. Not just authoritarian states that attempt to censor material critical to the regime, but also western countries (copyright infringement, child porn, gambling, etc). Does Mozilla and Cloudflare seriously think they will just go "oh ok, I guess everything is unblocked again now". No, they will either force Cloudflare to do the same or force local ISPs to implement even stronger filtering controls.

I think you and others should see this Abortion Doctor giving testimony on the abortion process.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s00sXs-ibjM

Having watched it, people will think twice about abortion. I wouldn't ban abortions though, because accidents, rapes etc happen and there might be times when women or the future baby maybe harmed by a variety of factors.

The vaginal contraceptive mentioned above being developed by YourChoice Therapeutics sounds promising, my only concern is that there may also be a need for this chemical to be inserted into the opening of the uterus like a mucus plug, because there might be a chance not all the sperm comes into contact with this chemical. In that situation, a special device would need to be made which could apply the chemical plug into the opening of the uterus on demand at home by women themselves.

The copper chain and copper coil is also not pleasant based on reports, and not all men want a plug inserted down their uretha to prevent sperm from being ejaculated, so the YourChoice Therapeutics seems the best option provided it doesn't smell or change sensation too much because even lubricants alter the dynamics and remove the pleasure with the artificial sensation, not that everyone picks up on that either.
Did you try the Odoo website builder? It is less cluttered than Gutenberg and support inline edition of dynamic content like TinaCMS (e.g. change product price, name, ...):

I switched from MBP to a Dell XPS 13 with Ubuntu. I compare the experience to living in a hotel vs. living at home [1]. In a hotel (=on Mac), everything is stylish and cared for, but you have very little freedom to change things. At home (=on Linux), you need to do the dishes yourself but there's no external agenda. It's simply yours.

I'm very happy with the switch. Though I'm on (Debian+) Xfce now instead of Ubuntu and would go for a ThinkPad instead of the XPS, because 1) I want a 14" screen 2) the XPS's fan is too loud, especially when Skyping 3) the XPS's camera is placed at the bottom of the screen instead of at the top, so people you have video calls with look up your nostrils.

No, I only said I won't do it, because I don't trust my soldering skills. But you made me think now and yes, I probably wouldn't be comfortable with someone like me living in the flat below mine, and leaving their DIY electronics plugged to mains.

You'll note that such limits already exist for products on the market - what keeps your neighbor from burning the whole block down is a complex web of legal requirements and means of recourse that force equipment producers to don't cut corners and don't do too shitty designs. They absolutely would if they could, because it would be cheaper, but the law prevents them from doing so. Which is why your neighbor can safely buy a product in a random western shop and keep it plugged to mains - whereas products imported straight from China will happily burst into flames at random occasions, because there is no legal protection that would make these sellers accountable.
Where might I find the class materials from when you were using Clojure?
The fun part of this to me is all but the WiFi aspect. It has:

- a mesh-based social network
- a cute character
- a builtin game
- adjusts to the environment

It sounds like an awesome social game, even if it doesn't have any purpose, and turning this into a mesh communication network would even give it an aspect of usefulness. I can see two ways this could blow up:

- at big parties, think Burning Man or Chaos Communication Congress, where people get embedded devices (like the CardIO) which encourage meeting others
- everyday, to find connections in unlikely places, with a similar app running on your phone (the Librem5 would be a good starting point)
There obviously is a modern left and feminism is a central tenet of it. The fact that feminism has been riddled with violence, man hating and calls for androcide from the start is taboo to discuss today because feminists will respond in the way you'd expect: meltdown followed by an attempt to destroy the "men's right activist" who pointed it out.

Even in the comment above you can see someone has been conditioned to think that men caring about their own rights is somehow "mysoginist" when the truth is MRAs are concerned with things like false accusations, equal rights, fair treatment in family courts and many other important issues. And some MRAs are female, just like some feminists are male.
Dell XPS 15 (2019) has good keyboard - better than Surface Pro, worse than Lenovo.
Very good touchpad - worse than Macbook, better than any other manufacturer.
Materials are nice to touch, design is very good looking (comparable to MBP).
Screen has very modest viewing angle, but if you don't move your head too much, colors are vibrant and image quality is great.
I'm looking into Chromebooks. I'm happy with my MacBook except that if I'm traveling with it and it breaks or gets stolen, I don't have a lot of options if I'm dependent on expensive Mac hardware. If I can switch to developing on a Chromebook, picking up a new one in an emergency is a lot more feasible, plus they're very secure and low maintenance.

Has anyone tried moving from Mac to ChromeOS?
With all the bad reviews about Apple, I didn't want to replace my old 17" MacBook Pro with a new Macbook (also, they don't do 17" anymore), so I just ordered a Thinkpad X1 Extreme instead.

Thinkpad has had a stellar reputation for sturdy quality since forever, and the X1 Extreme seems like a fairly good compromise between power, size, and other concerns. It's not 17" because the only 17" Thinkpads are the monstrous P73s.

According to reviews, it's quieter than my old Macbook (which was extremely noisy), but I intend to make it quieter by repasting and undervolting, which seems to be a fairly common procedure for Thinkpads.

Also, if it breaks down during the first 3 years, I get on-site support, so I don't have to go anywhere when it breaks down; they come to me.

(My specs: 32 GB (still upgradable to 64GB), i7-9850H, 2x 1TB SSD (one for Windows, one for Linux perhaps) and the 4K OLED screen. I expect this to last me for quite a while.)
IMO, if you're buying a higher end laptop it's worth shelling out for the on site warranty/accident protection. They'll send a technician to your location (typically within the week) and replace whatever parts needed for free. So you'll have essentially 0 time without your laptop.

It's been excellent (used it twice: fixed a broken keycap, and a spilled drink), and gives me a ton of peace of mind.
> Google’s user-centered approach is the primary reason why we’ve long forgotten about Lycos and the other alternatives.

No. Google's better search results were the primary reason they beat Lycos et al.

(Something that the Google search people seem to have now forgotten :-/ )
Either the XPS 13 or a MacBook Air.
If you're in the market for an ultrabook, I recommend the Huawei Matebook X Pro. Fully aluminum, solid build quality, a keyboard that matches the old MBPs and a 3:2 screen ratio.

Downsides are a terrible webcam and all the scandals surrounding Huawei.
The type of innate grammar you're describing is known as "universal grammar," and was one of Chomsky's seminal contribution to linguistics. He modeled all grammars as ~88 binary parameters such as head marking vs. tail marking, ergative-absolutive or nominal-accusative alignment, double negation etc. It was very successful, though cracks are appearing like the controversial absence of relative clauses in Pirahã, which are supposed to be universal (under X-bar theory, which is related to the above.)

I have my doubts; I still cling to Whorfian ideas of linguistic relativity and suspect the governance and binding framework doesn't explain more nuanced or culture-specific aspects of syntax like comparisons or kinship systems, but it's hard for me to argue with the success they've had in schematizing a ton of language families under a simple-ish model.

Disclosure: not a linguist, but I play at one.
> Having cheap (and therefore widely available) products that are hard to repair and may have short lifespans is generally desirable in my opinion, even though there are some ecological and worker rights issues.

I'm of mixed feelings about this. Having a 10x more expensive electric kettle that lasts 10x longer doesn't mean I won't buy a kettle. It means that I'll generate 10x less trash for the same utility received. When I look at it, making things more durable wouldn't hurt necessities that much - people would save up and buy appliances, and the longer lifetime would mean they actually save money over time.

In general, I think that cheap availability of crap products perpetuates the cycle of poverty. I strongly agree with the Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness[0]. Perhaps with a twist - I blame sacrifices of quality made in order to make the products cheaper. I think the world would be better off if we suddenly removed the bottommost quality tier of all goods categories, and didn't replace with anything. There should be hard limits on how low the market can get with respect to quality, because price is flexible - it's predicated by demand - wheras quality is not, and low quality is what sets off the poverty trap.

> Artificial brand tiers have led us to treat many mass market craptastic companies as "premium" despite them not knowing quality if it smacked them.

Yes. But part of the reason behind brands and price tiers was so that we don't have to be experts in ascertaining quality. We're supposed to trust the brands, but it turns out we can't - trust on the market is something to be exploited.

Nice that you brought up Bose, because I was under impression they were a premium quality brand, in a similar fashion to Apple - i.e. extra overpriced on top of above-average quality. So you're saying, I shouldn't really buy into the "above-average quality" part with them?

The real challenge comes when govt controls / shuts down the underlying nodes – cell towers, mobile providers and ISPs.

Communication patterns in a rioting crowd is vastly different from your average friendly FaceTime chat, but most of the messaging solutions aren't designed for it. I.e. I would be glad to not having offline storage, near real-time delivery or video calls option, if the app allows me to send message "I'm at the point A and I'm fine" to my friend, even if the mobile network is disrupted.

As far as I'm aware it's still a largely unsolved messaging problem.
I've not had Medicare, but know it is fraught with issues. So is the VA. I've also been under American health care through a job, been uninsured, and now am covered under Norway's health care system.

And I wouldn't trade my current system. I'd rather have medicare than nothing, and know that the issues it has can be fixed. Just because something has problems doesn't mean that it isn't better than nothing and doesn't mean that it isn't a good starting point.

It might not be so bad being a doctor if we fixed some supply issues: For example, making sure doctors (and everyone else) doesn't have tons of student debt. We can do things about how expensive malpractice insurance is: My dentist here in Norway would like to live in the US, but won't because of the malpractice suits. We can do things to simplify the office work, such as standardising payment scales and coding. We can make good use of nurse practitioners, especially for children who generally have run-of-the-mill infections THese things make it cheaper to be a doctor and cheaper to run an office.

You'd think we might need to fire a lot of people... but not really. Single payer health care means we can do things differently because our resources are pooled. Norway, at least where I live, will send a home nurse to your house for free up to 6 times a day. Even if you are in a cabin in the mountains or living on a little island. This is all because overall, this is cheaper than a nursing home... which costs 80% of your retirement, no matter how much you make.

There is also a private system, which mostly gives bells and whistles. You might get into a non-urgent MRI sooner and so on.
> I'm a native English speaker, so I'm sometimes unaware of English grammar.

That's more a result of your education than your native language. (And my education, until one German teacher was frustrated and ran through English grammar, so she could refer to it for teaching German grammar.)

English teaching in Britain and the USA has periods of not teaching English grammar. French students in France study French grammar, Spanish students in Spain study Spanish grammar.

Friends working in academia say they can recommend to their PhD students, "I think you should rephrase this in the subjunctive", and it's almost always only the British and American students that don't understand.
I recently purchased a T490 and it works reasonably well with Linux. My model has the base 1080p display rated at 250 nits, and while resolution and colour are no match for an MBP, the display surprisingly gets bright enough for some outdoor use.

Build quality is solid and keyboard is great. Speakers sound pretty rough but get decently loud. I got maybe 7-8 hours of use with the screen at 60%, and alternating between coding in Emacs and watching some videos.

I've tried Manjaro and the latest Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and have had no issues that would be a deal breaker. The only annoyance is jittery movement with the TrackPoint, but I've had that on every modern ThinkPad running Linux. I've been leaning towards using the trackpad more often and it seems to work okay.
And stack trace in the middle?
The latest release of Iosevka has a "quasi-proportional" variant called Iosevka Aile which I really, really like.

Here's a 3200x1800 screenshot with some code in Emacs.

The kerning is not as tight as in a real proportional font. It's a bit more spacious and regular so that fixed width tabular layouts still look relatively decent.
This is definitely missing Dank: https://dank.sh

It's my favorite programming font, made by a good friend of mine. It has awesome ligatures and the italic version is beautiful, similar to Operator Mono!
When this kicks in, I get an urge to eat a large amount of high caloric foods including desserts and to sleep for many many hours. If I comply with this, the situation is manageable. When summer and heat returns, I loses interest in food and will automatically drop the extra weight gained during winter.
