I generally agree with the folks who flagged this posting on HN (I didn't though) because the thought of ... airborne, highly contagious HIV in an early phase pandemic ... is a really very un-HN-like thought ... the mere theoretical possibility it could be true is the sort of thing I'd hope might inspire a generation to make our leaders globally take a time out on heated rhetoric and the ongoing technological arms race.
Odin requires writing bindings (for the moment, this will likely be automated with third-party tooling), Zig actually has full first-class C importation.

In both cases the interoperability is excellent imo.

I can't speak to Zig as much, but Odin's type system makes working with C APIs much more of a pleasure than doing so in C itself.
I guess I don't understand. Mind throwing up an example with multiple test strings on regex101.com ? I'd like to take a look and see if I can make a regex which does what you want.

You realize Voat exists right? And Gab? I wrote this about how Voat grew:

https://battlepenguin.com/tech/voat-what-went-wrong/

Deplatforming was a big part of that. Deplatforming didn't stop Milo. His base dropped him because he started defending hebeaphiles & pedophile / men being attracted to teens/pre-teens/boys (there's actually something sadder here; with Milo not realizing he was himself abused ... there's an entire tragic story lost there people don't seem to understand or pick up on because they're too busy hating him).

They might leave the platforms you like, but they move over to Voat, Gab or startup their own Pleroma/Mastodon instances (that get banned from everywhere). Deplatforming doesn't really work in the way you thin it does. It literally gives people more drive to stand up for and behind what Capital-T "truth" they think got themselves banned.

I remember when /r/politics was full of conservatives, right-wingers, the tea party, what have you. People would ask them to elaborate on their position, ask for references, or point out the flaws in their logic. The response? Moving the goalpost. Or "both sides do it." After a while, I ignored them because it wasn't worth my time to debate them. We won in a way; conservatives eventually stopped bothering to comment in /r/politics and retreated to their safe spaces.

Lets think of what "reasonable steps" a service provider of encrypted messaging could take to prevent child porn on their service...

* They could put up a big message saying 'no child porn'. I don't think that would be considered sufficient by a court.

* They could put a 'report' button. Again - insufficient.

* They could make client-side automated content scanners. Might be accepted by a court, but if you provide the scanner to the user, the government could argue it is easy to make images which bypass the scanner, which it would be.

* They could break encryption on some percentage of chats. A court would likely be looking at a particular case, and would consider the service provider not to have done their duty if the particular case at hand hadn't been checked.

I don't really see any reasonable steps which would stand up, other than breaking e2e and doing server-side scanning.

I've been looking for websites that compare each candidate's plans on multiple topics. The only one I found that was pretty straight forward to use is:

But the comparisons are rather shallow just picking on a few quotes in each topic. Is there anything better?

If you find yourself arguing that it is - what happens when you are largely, if not wholly, dependent on a third party to be able to exercise that right?

I totally agree with your premise. I'd agree the term "fake news" is not an exact term, but I'll say that everything from Fox News (on the right), to the NYTimes (on the left), and everything in between lie by omission (lack of coverage) and by framing (e.g., "disturbed man" vs "terrorist"; "hungry" vs "looter"; etc). There may not be a term for it, but the phenomenon is real and has caused people to want to drain the system all-together and look for alternate public squares, ones where they have a voice.
Really the give away is in the vagueness if they don't give an actual explanation as to how it will protect children. They haven't even thought about it enough to come up with a reasoned pretext. Instead they are using them as a demagogic thought terminator for emotional manipulation.

> The data suggests that deplatforming works. Milo; Katie Hopkins; InfoWars et al have all lost their former agenda-setting influence following deplatforming. And studies have shown that banning hate sub-Reddits does _not_ cause that content to “pop up elsewhere”, it causes it to decline overall.

This is simply not an accurate representation of history.

Milo Yiannopoulos fell out of popularity because of repeated issues with pedophilia, which even the right doesn't condone.

Katie Hopkins was financially ruined Monroe v. Hopkins[1].

InfoWars still has a larger readership than The Economist or Newsweek[2], so I'm not sure where you get the idea that they have lost influence. It sounds like you might be inside of an echo chamber.

You may be looking at a different study, but the only study[3] I know of on the banning of hate sub-Reddits showed that content didn't pop up elsewhere on Reddit. It doesn't show that the hate didn't just move over to Voat, which is my theory as to what happened. Yes, the study was publicized as "deplatforming works", but only because people didn't know where the people who were deplatformed went.

The rest of your post follows suit with claims that aren't based in reality.

I got pretty fed up with robocalls and none of the existing iPhone apps that use a blacklist approach really worked since robocallers and spam callers can just fake their number or use recycled numbers.

I created an iPhone app called MyHumans that takes the opposite approach with a whitelist using your phone contacts. Other callers are sent to voicemail without ringing your phone. It has an easy to access switch where you can temporarily disable any blocking for a time period, like an hour, if you're expecting a one-off call from a recruiter or whatever.

It works really well for me. Spammers rarely bother leaving a voicemail and legitimate businesses leave a voicemail that I can follow-up on later.

> If we were to not do that, language and communication would not work very well, and with that there would be no foundation for sensible discourse.

You're right, but we misunderstand each other and disagree all the time because language can be subjective.

Take your definition of toxicity: "abusive, unsupportive, or unhealthy emotionally towards others and in some forms themselves". All of those words are subjective.

Abusive is in the dictionary as "harsh or insulting". Harsh is defined as "excessively critical". Excessive means "going beyond the usual, necessary, or proper limit". Now define "usual". Language is a circular logic that at some point you just have to know for yourself what you mean.

When someone labels someone else as "toxic", they're using their own subjective interpretation of "normal", "harsh" and "abusive". And in these situations language doesn't work very well like you mention.

What can help is something less subjective like "I felt angry when you did X". It's more vulnerable and takes more responsibility, but it is less subjective than calling someone "toxic" and can't really be argued, which leads to better understanding and better discussions.
As most of the heavy lifting in Embergen is done on the GPU via shading languages the main benefit in using Odin isn't necessarily anything to do with memory control compared to the usefulness of its remaining feature set. The simplicity of the language and its ergonomic set of features does a good job at reducing friction and it is a joy to program in. Simply not being bogged down in all the complexities of C++ in all their forms, nor being held back by the arcane annoyances of C is quite refreshing.

I'm not saying they're the same, but they hardly share just the one characteristic with government. It's just a different combination of characteristics than what most are used to.

Monarchies and nobility have the family based power structures and inheritance.

And locals go to the family for justice, similar to going to elders for dispute resolution in some cultures.

And almost all government power over locals ultimately relies on the threat of violence, we just call it police power.

I'm not advocating for it as an ideal system of government (or any form of government that I want to live under), but to discount it entirely is to not truly understand the dynamics at play. Or the circumstances of how such groups come to power.
Wirthian languages, and especially Oberon-07, are definitely a topic
I want to familiarise myself with, but there is so little information
about it on the Web, and even fewer codebases to learn from. And a lot
of the compilers and tooling seems to be weirdly Windows-oriented. The
questions I still have very little answers to are:

* How is error handling done in Oberon-07?

* How does one do generic programming in Oberon-07?

* What is Oberon-07's async story?

I will be thankful for any pointers (heh).

What you may or may not know is that at one time, there was a doctrine by the FCC known as the "Fairness Doctrine":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_fairness_doctrine

"The fairness doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters."

This doctrine was eliminated in 1987, after a series of lawsuits about it.

Arguably, it's part of what started this whole mess we now find ourselves a part of.

It really wasn't how compilers were constructed in '96 either. I was very into compilers in the late 80's and even then we didn't handwrite lexers or parsers. I was using bison and flex around '89.

While those challenges like all challenges can be exciting, in the end of the day it will still lack you full engagement because it's something that's boring to you or not interesting.

When did they ever have agenda-setting influence? I need more specific citations for these claims than "the data" and "studies".

I'm no expert on pubs, but my understanding is that "disruptive speakers" in that context are ones who make it hard for others to speak.

Not everyone leads hard left/right. Most people are centrists. So say you want to be a progressive left, but on issue "x" you don't stand with the left. You can't vocalize this because doing so will have people call you "not really left" or "a bigot" or "not seeing past your privilege."

You can go two ways. You can not want to leave your political home and double down and go harder left ... or you find dissenting voices. If those voices aren't centrists, they're going to be hard right, and people will start to shift their entire political leanings because they want a political home.

People need to be okay with others believing things they don't agree with. Even controversial things. I've noticed people on the left who refuse to be friends with or hand out with people who have different beliefs about certain things .. and that's insane! How do you learn and grow if you cut off everyone with a different opinion than yourself? We're probably all wrong about something.

At 150 kilometers per day, they could cover the 3,500 km between Egypt and India in 20 days. Of course they're not covering that much distance every day, but they can jump between distant sources of food very quickly, so smaller gaps between crops or across deserts won't stop them.

The most critical point you brought up is in finding good developers. Reminds me of this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."

In this case, small minds discuss libraries/frameworks, average minds discuss language details, great minds still discuss ideas.

All of the best, most interesting, and most insightful programmers I have talked to express ideas in language and tool-agnostic terms, with written language, and only use code as an implementation or demonstration detail. This isn't to say that tooling and languages are not important of course, but the best programmers can pick up new tools and languages quickly and express their ideas in any given medium. If a programmer is limited by thinking in terms of the language(s) they know, they're basically a bricklayer. Still respectable, but they're doing tedium rather than manipulating the idea space.
If the evidence is comprehensive and solid, at what point does it become responsible (or necessary) to do so?

If it is 10AM and I need to plan for my meeting at 3PM, and I need to consider the needs of the person I am going to meet - all of these details exist in my mind "in the moment". I can use those stimuli in the moment to plan out everything I need, in the moment. Even though I plan something in the future, I move those plans in my mind which exist there as a moment, as images or words or etc.

Once you start practicing mindfulness or meditation, you very easily see these distinctions. Yes, there is a way to use those concepts in a literal sense in which "in the moment" would mean that you can never consider anything else than your immediate surroundings. However most spiritual teachings or meditation retreats or people who say that this thing has helped them in their life, mean it in a more practical way.

Perhaps "being in the moment" is not the best phrase to really explain what they mean here and there is a lot of space for confusion and misunderstanding. But it is just the phrase that they usually use.
Wireguard doesn't need to change at the protocol level to add those features and I think thats the point. Userspace programs can be written to fetch keys from a server based on SSO or w/e.
The article left me confused about what it means to have a legally binding redefinition of a term.

Does this mean that all existing, legally binding contracts are to be reinterpreted using the new definition of "foot"?

Does it mean that any new legal document (contract, legislation, etc.) that uses the term "foot" without further clarification shall be assumed to mean this new definition of "foot"?
