I Was Banned from Tildes
Until recently I was the tildes user known as 45930. I was banned last week for an unknown reason, and I want to provide my feedback in this post.

First of all, let me say that I enjoyed my time on tildes, and I still check back there because I think that there is good content being shared. I don't really take issue with a heavy handed ban policy in the name of more curated content and a tighter community. Maybe some do, but I was already aware of how some other users have been dealt with (namely alyaza, who, when she was ultimately banned for good, was silently erased from the site). I can't find the link right now, but a couple of weeks ago, deimos said that alyaza was banned for continually behaving in a way that he felt was bad for the site. He had warned her and eventually decided to ban her, not for one egregious comment or infraction, but a persistent unsavory behavior.

Persistent unsavory behavior is what I imagine I was banned for. I have a tendency to only engage a comment section if I'm feeling argumentative. Since I can't link directly to any comments I made, and don't want to portray myself unrealistically, I will refrain from defending the content of my comments. Let's assume that my account was firmly in "bannable" territory. I still feel that it's important for current users to be aware of the way in which I was banned, and I feel like I need to suggest to deimos that he be more open with the users that he bans. I simply tried to log in one day and was unable to. Deimos has my email. He could have let me know that I was banned, and for what reason. Since he did not, I emailed him to ask, and he ignored my request. This process is what I take issue with. The banned deserve to know for what they are guilty.

That wouldn't be healthier - I would be unhealth manifest in the same way not being able to stand up under their own power.

Even if a one way digest or hierarchical approach works better in an instance for a scale approach (summarizing to congress or instead of a live feed of literally everyone) a lack of agency is /not/ a good thing.

Sanity is acknowledging reality not hiding away from it.

Let's say it provides more like a standardized common interface for you. You still have to code the glue to make all those data aggregations, cache handling and permission checks.

In fact, because it's such a new tech, and since it's embedded into very few things, you have a lot to write by hands and perf on single servers will suffer compared to regular SQL + Restish.

The concept is interesting for big distributed heterogeneous systems though, especially when you have many clients.
To be fair, an HTTP GET request should never modify the state of the system - hitting a link should not change anything.

If you need to expire links then make the initial link display a form with a submit button (which does a POST) to reveal the content (and expire the link). Legitimate crawlers don’t submit forms so it should be safe.
It’s as if Twitter’s models are trained to highlight the tweets that agree and are empathetic to the original tweet.

Users pile on with the “OMG yes this. This. This!” or “I don’t know why people like this exist “ and the rest of the crew are there to nod their heads.

There’s no discussion on Twitter. It’s either pats on the back or one liner screaming matches.

Seriously, why do people keep making this mistake? I'm never going to use a debugger I can't debug.

"So how do I make money?"

That's the wrong question. The proper question for a computer programmer to ask is, 'How do we align our technology with our values to eliminate the necessity to "earn a living"?'

I'm a Bucky Fuller fan. We're about 30 years overdue for the Design Science Revolution.

It gives you an incentive to change your mind. If the delta between attempted and performed murder is small, if you have doubts at the end you might as well go ahead and perform it, as at least one witness is now gone.

This is why a horrible crime like rape is typically not punished as strictly as murder: if the penalty were the same, why not do away with the witness. Though the effect of the crime on the victim can last a lifetime, at least they will be alive.

Depends on the problems, but in many situations yes. For PDE's you can plug in the proposed solution and calculate the error. Usually you'd do this in a discretized version of the PDE, but since neural nets are symbolically differentiable you could instead approximate (by sampling) the average error from the real PDE itself.
Fantastic. Im thinking about building something which will help me to get better job, but Im jus Machine Learning Guy... Its a long way from me to the front end.
+1. There's no material societal benefit in retribution. (True, it makes some people feel good, but so does burning a cross in someone's yard.) The purpose of a justice system is to keep us safe. Someone who hires a hitman should be punished, so that future people don't do it. Whether they succeed is irrelevant.

A counterargument I can imagine is that if we punish the unsuccessful hiring of a hitman more lightly, then future hirers are more likely to err on the side of a hitman with a lower probability of success. But that seems improbable to me -- one doesn't hire a hitman to see them fail.
I use it as my daily driver and I've also started writing some smallish scripts in it. It's actually fun whereas bash always seemed rather tedious. I love how easy it is to parse arguments with `argparse` and to add completions through `complete`.

Also fish utils like `string join` etc. are super helpful when writing small scripts.

Shameless plug: https://github.com/cideM/fish-yvm yarn version manager written in fish
Color is indeed very useful for terminals. But it seems to me that fish takes the use of color to an exaggerated, very unpleasant, extreme. It feels overwhelming to my senses. Like having blinking text here and there. It fills the whole screen with a mix of normal and reverse text in several colors, just for simple stuff like completing an argument.

There is a trick where subsequent frames use transparency for non-changed parts of the image which gives a much better compression ratio than you might think.
A good analogy is network layers. The problems and solutions handled at the network layer resemble those at the internetwork layer, which resemble those at the transport layer, in turn similar to those at the application layer.

Convergent evolution doesn't mean we should all become the same organism.
It's going to happen faster than we've been told. I expect in 10 years global panic will set in.
I was most amazed by the short prison terms for what would, in the US, be the capital criminal solicitation of murder.

Here is the definition in Texas law (15.03) https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/docs/PE/htm/PE.15.htm

And the definition of murder in Texas is section 19 https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.19.htm

I am having trouble finding the sentencing guidelines for this crime, but I am quite certain it is analogous to a conspiracy to commit capital murder in the first degree and treated, and as such is punished similarly to capital murder.

Processes exist in separate virtual memory spaces. Threads in the same process exist in the same virtual memory space. This is a fundamental principle of virtual memory.

Mixing this up with a filesystem or any shared resource is completely nonsensical. Naive oversimplifications like this indicate a lack of understanding of how and why computers are architected as they are in the first place.

Virtualization could be said to be an extrapolation of virtual memory and in fact does offer sub virtual memory, but to equate threads, processes, virtualization and shared resources as the same thing is grasping for simplicity that isn't there by making comparisons that aren't true.
Not necessarily, no.

Biotech companies, as one example, frequently can't sustain themselves when they IPO. They IPO as a means to raise capital to pursue sustainability, to grow the business - develop product etc - using investor money. That's one of the reasons the public markets exist, to expose investors to potential upside.

Tesla is very clearly a business and has lost money every year of its existence.

Amazon lost money for its first seven years, including for several years following its IPO.

Workday and ServiceNow have been money losing businesses for their entire histories. ServiceNow took 15 years to get to profitability in its most recent quarter. They ran losses in the pursuit of faster growth.

Atlassian and Shopify have piled up annual losses for most (all?) of their histories.

Would investors be better off without exposure to Shopify at a $3.x billion market cap at its IPO? It's now $36 billion. Investors get to ride their tremendous business growth (with some obvious risk), which is likely to result in eventual solid profitability.
There are so many wrong things with this, that I don't even know where to begin. I think the article can be boiled down to this: "I don't like how dark mode looks".

On the contrary, I do like darkmode. Sometimes. When it is done well. For me, reading white on black is easier than black on some bright texture.

Climate change will create the first trillionaire.

Find every machine that eats fossil fuels and electrify it. Find every crop that requires stable land and predictable weather and farm it in a shipping container. Find every underlying infrastructure that requires decades to pay off and decentralize it.

Instead of water line pipes, pull water out of the air. Instead of fiber optic cables make LEO satellites. Instead of refrigerated transportation, grow food in your pocket or your stomach. Instead of roads, take to the air. Instead of high power transmission lines that cause fires and burn down trees, build island-mode ready microgrids.

Build a better world, a template for all worlds to come.
Sure - I can see why social media took hold - but that's the perspective we've been trapped in for the last decade. You can easily shake yourself free and see that these networks are just one way of arranging things (like you say - like a "city" or like tenant housing) and that they are, quite simply, shitty. :)

I mean where do we go from here? I think if you view social media positively, then you just continue down the current road - another new app icon, another dot-com, another account, some new video gimmick to go along with it - but I wonder if it's possible to shift the perspective back to the Web as the network - and protocols as the connecting tissue. I wish I could easily follow what my sisters or parents or friends are doing - but they are all on separate shitty closed networks now.
I dunno about ghosts being a Christian thing.

In anime you see ghosts and talk about ghosts all the time (telling ghost stories around the fire, or somebody who got a house cheap because it was thought to be haunted, or the giant robot cops who seem to help ghosts go to rest as often as they put criminals behind bars)

The mythology and nature of the stories doesn't seem very different from western ghost stories but the prevalence seems higher. It seems to me that Buddhist mythology is as compatible with stray spirits sticking around just as much as Christian mythology except that Christians see souls moving on a one-way track on a 1000 year time scale where Bhuddists see them going across multiple worlds, heavens and hells over more of a trillion+ year time scale. Either way a few might be so attached to this world they get stuck for a few tens of hundreds of years.
Nope. I'd love to be proven wrong.

Well, these days imgur/gfycat will encode your gif as a video. Not sure I even see gifs much anymore.

Also, where have you been able to casually upload video to share quick bites like a cat making a funny face? You aren't going to upload a 12 second silent video to youtube. Up until very recently, gifs were the only permissible way to share this sort of content.
Well, the EU banned them several years back. One might consider that one of its biggest legislative triumphs :D

Sure, but this will only work for previously-known threats – for which someone else, presumably Google, has already done the request, analysis, and determination.

I doubt Facebook only wants to detect old threats, reliant on a competitor's standards & practices.
>The new urbanisation guidelines encourage mixed-use development and recommend that all residents should have improved access to a diverse range of public and commercial amenities – schools, supermarkets, retirement centers, hospitals, parks, and cultural centers – within range of where they live. There is a special emphasis on green space: the guidelines decree that all city dwellers should have access to public parks, gardens, and other open areas.

This portrays the city as only a residential entity with residential amenities. Where are the productive uses of land, such as factories, refineries, shipyards, office buildings, warehouses, food markets, etc. that are needed for a thriving economy. "Mixed use" should account for placing places of employment in proximity to residential areas so that transportation costs and time consumed by commuting are reduced.

Or are cities to be exclusively centers of consumption?
The web collectively failed to provide a single authentication token. Unlike mobile phones, where the phone numbers are not controlled by one entity, in the web some companies jumped in and grabbed them all. It's still sad to see that despite multiple protocols, despite open source browser, despite distributed trustless databases, we need to sign up to each service with our email or with FB connect.

For anything in that space to catch on though, it will have to provide a benefit to the webmater. Facebook provided visibility and extensive distribution, that's why so many media chose to move their content in there
This is an open source project that came from a single person inside Intel. Intel is a huge company and this project is barely a blip on priorities. You don't have to gues, go try it or do some research. It has been maintained for many years now, you can see all of the history on GitHub.

That's actually very interesting :) I personally love it and find it perfect. Concretely useful. I hope there's a way to tune it down.
Greenland's massive ice melt wasn't supposed to happen until 2070.

It seems even the scientific predictions can be too conservative. The changing climate isn't a linear system, it's more like a step function. Once the ice melts it's much harder to get back.

If you have access to the build tools, you can compile and install stuff in your home directory.

A bit tedious, but you would still get to use your favourite tools.
Couldn't you sort of test this by enabling E2E, sending a link that was previously blocked, and seeing if it is still blocked? That would at least show some sign if it's all a sham or not.
Having used both LXC and Docker, the main advantage of Docker is using it as a package manager, with the ability to extremely easily start from a 3rd party container and layer your own changes on top. While I'm sure LXC could technically achieve the same, it is way more difficult to do so than docker's 'FROM 3rdparty-container:$VERSION' / 'docker pull 3rdparty-container:$VERSION'.

On the other hand, Docker for a long time didn't really care about security, which LXC was much better at since the beginning more or less.

As for Kubernetes, that is most often used in conjunction with Docker (though there are alternatives), if you want to deploy containers to a cluster of machines (VM or physical) and get rid of some of the administrative work for doing so.
I see container systems, such as Docker, as a packaging system more than anything else.

Not so much new tech, but I was out on the deck really late in the summer and heard a horrible sound like a dying alien. After sorting through the noise, I finally recognized it as a mocking bird doing a very bad imitation of a car alarm. I've heard good ones but this was just sounded sickly--perhaps it was blending different types of alarms together.

There is nothing about GraphQL that makes me think someone invented it because they were annoyed by SQL and decided to reinvent it, generally reinvention means a lot of similarity only badly done. You might argue GraphQl is badly done in comparison to SQL, but surely not that it is similar.
Stackoverflow did that. No discussion on the questions as well as only questions with objective answers make it a useless website for a lot of developers, aside from using it as a documentation or examples website (which is what they want and achieved)
I think the primary reason not to do this is security—and I don't just mean that letting attackers make Postgres queries directly is a bad idea (it is, of course, but you could imagine other ways to implement this). You want any interface you expose to the public to be simple enough that you can be reasonably confident that none of the messages you accept can cause bad things to happen. SQL is so computationally powerful that you can't really get that assurance.
Hey I am just describing interfaces, I don’t care about how it hits the disk. Filesystems are certainly nothing to get excited about; links are a dirty hack to get around a forced tree anyway.

"Curated by Crazy" may have better explained the current power struggle online and how low they'll go for your attention (hijack your connection).

How is packaging data in offline formats not more convenient? We have to do something with the gobs of storage and blazing fast transfer speeds while reclaiming our privacy (maintaining control of our attention).

Also, being "always on" allows you to be compromised by netizens far and wide. On-demand has far reaching security benefits.
So what are your inspection systems based on?
It is probably more correct to state that solutions that allow us to adapt-to or reverse the effects of greenhouse gases on our environment will result in trillions of dollars in value to humanity at large.

Whether that that value-creation gets concentrated or not is some combination of randomness, individual choices, and politics.
Assuming nothing critical lived on the service

Why would you make that assumption?

If someone is paying for a service, you are obligated to provide that service. It may be nothing more than another (for example) random point-of-sale system to you, but to the business on the other end, it could be fatal.

Every “replacement” tech you list has massive downsides - replace fiber with inescapable high latency satellites, much higher cost, a crazy carbon footprint to launch them in to space, less bandwidth? Why are you just making up “better” alternatives to things?
