Animals protect their territory. Fierce tribalism has long existed. I find the idea that people could just live anywhere, back in the day, to be hard to believe. In some places? Sure. In "the entire world"? Not so much. Spain was invaded by the Moors, back in the day, because someone opened the gates, from the inside, for them for example.
Write Congress to say that if something like this is passed, it must be actual legislation, and not this "whatever the regulator approves" nonsense.
The interactive tools exist outside of rebase. You can also split commits apart as you work on them with for example `git add -i` without needing to rebase.

I've met junior developers I'd never trust to get rebase right, but interactive add was an important tool to teach them.

There are a number of problems with your assessment in modern day engine design I think.

First, because of IK, we cannot control orientations exactly. Newer techniques like motion matching/IK can generate new orientations on-the-fly, depending on what a character is doing and the character's environment. Gimbal lock matters for camera movement as well. Looking up with Euler angles is a great way to induce a seizure if not done correctly.

Second, the "wild rotations" you mention has a very simple solution employed by every engine I've worked with. Basically, you just constrain the real part to be positive which fixes your interpolation on one half of the Lie-manifold which ensures the arc taken is as short as possible.
Your comment still lacks more context why migration wasn't a big deal and why more decentralized power structure didn't need to control migration as much.

1. Human labour was much more critical to survival than today. It was a great thing if one family from another town moved under you cause they'll farm and pay more taxes. Now labour is cheap and isn't critical survival. In fact, there's so much labour that social ills that arise from unemployment is a way bigger problem.

2. Migration happened in much shorter proximity. Therefore, the difference in language, culture, ethnicity and religion were much smaller than the effects of migration today. The host society wasn't concerned about huge changes of their society as much as today where changes of biblical scale are happen in a matter of decades.

3. There was no welfare. If you failed as a migrant, the cost of the failure is paid by yourself. If you fail as a migrant in the host society today, you still have free healthcare, education, citizenship for your children, child care, endless support system to sustain your living in the country. It makes sense the modern state wants control over who enters their state much more.

Exactly. Like all things, a few bad actors spoil it for the rest of us.
The articles you linked to are five years old. What I'd like to know is if there have been any actual recent attacks on Telegram.
It must not have been that difficult considering how much impoverished labor immigrated to the United States during the 19th century.
I don't have a ready source, but the press in the US would usually comply with a request to censor news that some in government worried would lead to panic, blame, or accountability. Continued well into the 60's and 70's, and still present today.

The latest edition of Ronan Farrow's Catch and Kill podcast describes how NBC agreed to censor his story on Harvey Weinstein. [https://podtail.com/podcast/the-catch-and-kill-podcast/episo...]
> Because threads are so sensitive to initial conditions, it ends up skewing an entire discussion.

I haven't thought about this before on HN, but it makes a lot of sense. I'm curious if you or others have written about this intuition and your experience with it -- I'd like to understand it more.
> We really need age limits.

That's a pretty regressive suggestion. What's next? Revoking voting rights by race or gender?

The poll says ~140M would migrate to the US if they could. That’s very different from saying 140M people would show up at our doorstep if we opened borders. It also says that 1/6 of Americans would leave if they could. You are ignoring these important
qualifiers.

Edit: it’s actually 158M who would migrate to the US if they could, and ~55M Americans who would leave, for a total net inflow of 103M, if everyone could magically teleport to a new country on a one time basis.
I thought it was really interesting how such a common word has many various meanings. It's a simple word to those who know it, but I can imagine it being very complex to those who have to learn it.

You can move freely amongst counties in the Schengen Area, which is a subset of EU counties (which itself is a subset of European counties).

As an aside, this was a hotly contested subject during the UK EU “Brexit” referendum.

The Romans spent a lot of effort in trying to keep the various barbarian tribes from migrating freely into the Roman Empire. In fact, for much of the Roman Empire, the bulk of the Roman Army was stationed on the frontiers such as the Danube and Rhine to keep the German tribes out. One of the big turning points was in 406 when the Rhine froze and removed a natural barrier that had kept a lot of these tribes out before hand.

Imperial China also worked hard on keeping the various northern groups from migrating into China, going so far as to build the Great Wall.

It seems that the more developed the civilization, the more effort it expends in defining and guarding it's borders.
Convince 7 billion people harm reduction should be seen as the ultimate motivation of society.

The web has nothing to do with it.

For a while we thought more people were getting cancer. Turned out cancer detection rates were low and lots of mysterious deaths in history were probably just cancer.

The web has helped illuminate in the US how big the political ideology gap always was. It was papered over by information manipulation of the corporate press for decades, coddling sensibilities of luddites, innumerate, and nesters who preferred to stay home rather than see for themselves. They also made up the biggest voting block for years.

I grew up in Trump country and left two decades ago. Was shocked to find coasties really were convinced it was Leave it to Beaver land while rural folks were convinced urban areas are universally slums. Those are REAL narratives I get from people today. Shocked about how ass backwards the other cohort feels about life. Ridiculously sheltered attitudes on both sides. Complete disinterest in negotiating. As we see in Congress.

Consider that perfect rural life and urban police dramas are common fiction tropes and it’s not hard to see why those emotional descriptions are knee jerk go to for the masses

Free speech doesn’t oblige anyone else to abide the embedded semantics of the speech in question. Emit whatever syntax you want, no one has to put their agency into the behaviors the speaker thinks achieve the outcome they seek with their speech.

5 years layer than what you describe but what I remember from the 1995 to 2000 was relatively peaceful, even the newsgroups I visited (mostly technical ones). There were dark corners but you mostly knew if you stepped into one.

Then again I was mostly looking for html tutorials, facts for physics and history projects etc.

Yes, that was there, I and think anybody here is erudite enough to know that.

It was never easy, but for vastly different reasons than today, and, historically, there was a lot more migration than people today tend to think of that time period.
In order to obtain global mobility, I will embed into my body a microchip of your choice that reports current location and biometric information continuously, and pay up to $10k into a yearly program that will report my per-country statistics into a global database.
So instead of learning systems you have to learn the AWS spaghetti of microservices.
Yeah, no, that excuse stopped working around six years ago. “Online trolling” is now part and parcel of political action and can be separated only through naïveté or disingenuity and no, there is no third option. The shitlord who chased my friend from her home was cheered on by that faceless mob of “online trolls” and encouraged other people to do likewise and worse. Similarly, Elliot Rodgers and the like got their book from “online trolls” who happened to also be virulent misogynists who were ecstatic that somebody took what they advocated and put it into action.

What you call “extreme” is the reality for people less privileged than you being subject to these fucks’ weird jollies. What’s your just-ignore-it stuff going to do for them?
Why should people in CA let people from OK move there? They probably have more in common with major metropolises world-wide than they do a rural farming community they happen to share a nation with.

People are pointing out the hypocrisy in the selective application of freedom-of-movement. There may or may not be valid reasons for this but don't pretend its grounded in self-determination.
I know the UK just got rid of their "pay-to-stay" visas (Tier 1 - Entrepreneur (£200k) and Tier 1 - Startup (£50k + endorsement), and now have endorsement-based visas (Innovator and Startup).

So I guess it is still pay-to-stay, but instead of paying the government, you are paying one of a few dozen private companies that the government chose based on some random criteria, and apparently there were many endorsing organizations that didn't even know they were selected.

"The map is not the territory" is a well-worn metaphor that's not really about maps anymore -- but in that book some features (cultural, architectural, physical, etc.) are given such prominence at the expense of realism that you understand much more than you would by looking at methodical cartography.
Thanks.

That would match the current German version below and makes sense as languages evolved from same tree.

“is anyone else disturbed by the fact that Whatsapp now shows the Facebook logo when you first open the app”

Same for Instagram. I’m wondering if FB is trying to gain positive PR by highlighting the association. Or if it’s an upcoming regulatory requirement.
Signing leases and spending a lot of time somewhere kind of means you live there. And if you live there, then you start to have a reasonable claim to the rights and privileges of a citizen.

I'm not saying that's bad, but countries typically want some control over this process.
Or nights.
I’d say the fix then is to remove the words. Ie leave social media or make it too decentralized to attack.
Of course, but much harder to quantify in terms of productivity and money lost unless you time-track all your life to know how much money your off time is worth.
Lots of people would move into other people's nicer homes if they could too, but the owners of the homes might take issue with that. Nations are a form of collective property.
> I don’t understand people who think it’s always been some civil gathering.

In the early days of social media, the idea was to create engaging communities, which I felt for the most part happened. I was on a LOT of social media platforms in the mid aughts and really got a lot of it with the people I connected with. For me, it was actually quite positive and healthy then.

In the last eight years or so? I had to get off. The overwhelming negativity, the weaponization of the platforms, the "cancel culture" and a rash of other things just make a majority of the platforms completely unusable now. On top of that, you add in the incredibly poor track record these platforms have with user data and privacy, the non-stop tracking, and the thousands of ads in your feeds?

It used to be a joy to use these platforms. Now it's gotten to a point where I'm not sure what the point of social media is anymore.
I graduated college in 2009, and right afterwards I worked at a startup. Then I joined an agency doing web work for the entertainment industry. That got boring pretty quickly, so after a year of that, I left and started an "incubator" with some friends. At that company, we built out MVPs and convinced friends working corporate jobs to quit and become operators. It was a cool business model but not great for cashflow, so I split off.

Slowly but surely, I found a niche in working with smart, non-technical founders who want to start startups. Turns out that most good programmers willfully ignore that market (for good reason, it's really hard to separate the wheat from the chaff).

I've been programming in some way or another since the mid-90s, not old hat by any measure, but AWS and the "cloud" was hardly present when I really started getting my hands dirty with web programming during the early/mid-2000s.
No, he’s right. It was very much in the interest of rulers to rule over as large a population as possible as that meant more tax income.

Think of all the slaves that were brought into the Roman Empire for an example. Or the laws binding serfs to the land in the Middle Ages. Or of the early modern kingdoms of South East Asia, which were essentially slave states, raiding their neighbors for their population so they could at them to their own.

That’s one aspect of it.

The other is that despite travel being difficult, historically people have done a lot of it. This has become clear in recent years as DNA analysis of ancient populations has become possible. The origins of most Western Europeans lie in the steppes of Ukraine (it might not be clear who built Stonehenge but it’s certain it wasn’t an ancestor of a modern Briton). There were Indian traders in Rome (probably to sell silk and spices) and Dutch settlers in South Africa were witness to Bantu immigrants sweeping in from he north.

People have always been mobile, it turns out.

The secret weapon Apple threw away (1997)
Quite a collection! Did you get them from a corporate selloff or something? You might already know this, but Lenovo had the rights to use the IBM logo on their ThinkPads for several years after the purchase, so there are a few models that have the big IBM lettering but are really Lenovo machines.

I'm also intrigued by Pinebooks and their open philosophy, but my tolerance for slow computers is low. I haven't used one yet, but System76 laptops seem like a good compromise between open hardware and modern performance.
Probably doesn't like that you can't quarantine/astroturf your way to total thought control when people are getting their news and political discussion from their echo chamber of choice, free from external moderation
That seems to stretch the argument pretty far - maybe if we just want to keep vaguely military folk in the country then we could employ them building military grade roads to replace the aging infrastructure. If the project they're actually working on isn't supposed to bear any real fruit then maybe just redirect them to something that isn't a complete waste of resources.

Also, I disagree, I don't think anyone in that realm of government would knowingly sink that much money into a project they intended to fail - they might be overly optimistic about the success, they might be trying to funnel money into their retirement but it takes clout to secure a budget like that and people had to work hard to secure it initially and keep it going - so a failure is probably going to fall under one of these categories - un-achievable, poorly managed, or wholly corrupt.
It's so weird... when Google employees had a revolving door with the white house for Obama (voted twice for him and Hillary) nobody cared.

It's utterly ridiculous that tech gets upset when someone they don't agree with uses their tools to accomplish something alternative to their ideas. This is the exact narrative the right uses to describe how hypocritical the left is.
I wonder why this type of language is so attractive to bike shed. Just the right balance of complexity and usefulness perhaps?
It really is interesting that our anecdotes can be so different. I'm assuming you're older than me (25) since you mention the pre-web internet, so I'd also guess that by the time you were on the web/pre-web internet you would've had a more developed filter than I.

My introduction to the web progressed roughly with watching my dad use BBS -> playing Neopets and Runescape -> becoming very involved with Runescape forums -> running a Runescape forum (first introduction to moderating user-submitted content at the age of 10. Yeah...) -> getting involved with video game modding communities, which meant I was spending all my free time browsing forums, following every link, completely absorbed by everything the early web's computer game communities churned out.

My experience probably would've been very different if I hadn't been able to get around the parental controls my parents used, or if I had been interested in different hobbies with a more approachable web presence.

I've been nostalgic for the "old web" lately, but I'm also very, very grateful that I haven't clicked on an inconspicuous URL that turned out to be a jumpscare, virus, weird porn, or gore in quite a while.

EDIT: I don't want to imply that the Disturbing Web == Videogame Web; that just happened to be my experience.
So many parts... it must have been a nightmare to coordinate all this with just info on paper.
If you ever want proof HN is not Libertarian, they way it downvotes open borders shows it is not.

Libertarians don't have to believe open borders work fully but should be open to talking about it.

It's also something in the future people will judge us for. They will live in a world where richness is less border based though, so get rose colored glasses. Like slavery, easy to judge when you don't get to do it.
Additional complexity for me: the prefix "I'm hungry" or "should I have that?" is almost never in inner speech, but the answer upon making a decision always is.

Without Facebook traditional media companies would have the power to steer elections in a direction.

Facebook's biggest problem as an election platform though is that the lies can be customized to the specific person.
How's a burger with a bun keto friendly lol. There's a big picture of a bunned burger and no mention of "by the way this specifically refers to just the patty itself."
I also have a quite ambivalent memory of the Internet from around 1998 on. Of course the standard content is more readily accessible. But more toxic stuff ranges from weird chat experiences on the IRC for instance to disturbing content. What changed probably is that a lot of stuff moved from various places of the Internet (Usenet, IRC, Torrents, Tor-like networks...) into the Web. Speaking of discussions, now they happen right at the entry doors of the Internet: at the online presences of big news outlets.

In any case, I'm quite happy with normal discussions and normal content though...

I used to think this way. If I just ignored toxicity and suppressed my reaction, everything would be fine. But the dose makes the poison. Over time, it wears you down. I spent years letting things roll off my back, and all it got me was a bunch of metaphorical back pain that I could have avoided if I'd either moved out of the way or plugged the leak.
It’s not news that disagreeableness correlates with success and income.
That is probably correct, as I am on the side of the spectrum where I like sitting in perfectly quiet nature to relax. Too much noise or too many people would ruin that experience for me.

Can you point us to any evidence of this, other than e.g. a general or politician making vague claims with no specifics?

I'm not saying that no one in the various nations that USA has invaded haven't been hurt by those invasions, but can any of that be directly attributed to leaks?
I hear you about the people who use their charisma to assemble followers and mark you down as an enemy if they can’t bring you into that fold. It’s very disappointing that you can’t have a normal working relationship with them.
It is absolutely grounded in self-determination. That people from CA let people from OK move there is their choice. They could levy taxes on movers to discourage this no problem. And, frankly, I bet if you put this up to a vote a lot of people in (metropolitan) California would be just fine with a policy that aimed to keep those stinking farmers away.
most of the time you just roll the dice. As long as what you're doing is not in the same line of business as your employer, and you part on good terms, most of the time it's fine.
I share with you the pain of writing a bash script with a Spanish keyboard. It has three types of ticks (`'´).

The first and last are actually diacritics, so you have to press once, then press the space bar. We don't even have back diacritics in Spanish.
Stronger in that it can survive, and that people adopt it because makes sense economically.

I've seen some of this resentment in SE Asia. Foreigners work remotely from paradise, which is great for us -- but the locals see you filling up the nice restaurants and renting the best apartments and driving up the cost of living for locals who, unlike us, don't have many options about where they live.

Yep, that’s why I said “the EU”, not Europe, where freedom of movement is a fundamental right.

Anyway, for immigration that’s a bit moot as there is a universal policy for EU member states. Which was a contentious issue during Brexit.
