Its a war over controlling the narrative. The little people seem clueless about what will, can and probably should happen when the status quo loses their grip on them. If people had half a clue about the prosperity that awaits them the narrative would effortlessly flip 180 degrees. We should all be as mad as General Smedley D. Butler about it.
> Anonymity isn’t it, or isn’t all of it.

I think people have realized what the real line of what will be tolerated in society. There isn't any repercussion for being a pos in real life or online. I think we're to polite to the people being rude.
Let’s say this rule was in place 10 years ago and we standardised on micro USB. How would it have been possible to advance to the next generation of technology like USB-C.

This feels that it’s banking on USB-C being forever future proofed or wireless connections does everything we ever need.
Most stop signs should be replaced with nothing. The uncontrolled intersection is safer in most cases (in part because nobody has the right away so everybody takes care), uses less energy (see the Prius response), and makes the few cases where a full stop is required for some reason more obvious so drivers are more likely to stop.
Yes we want more interventionism!

> The fix might just be to wait until the older people in charge retire or die out and the new older people in charge are those who grew up with these modern technologies.

I don't think so. I'm an older person, and I've been immersed in these technologies for almost my entire life (since I was 12). There is nothing old hat to the younger crowd that isn't old hat to me as well.

Age is not a reliable indicator of these things.
Thanks for asking!

One of the big users of Odin at the moment is JangaFX's EmberGen, which does real-time volumetric fluid simulations for games and film. https://jangafx.com/software/embergen/

Odin has aided them with a huge amount of productivity and sanity of life which other languages such as C or C++ cannot offer, such as a strong and comprehensive type system, parametric polymorphism which is a pleasure to use, the implicit context system, extensive support for custom allocators, the `using` statement, the `defer` statement, and much much more.
I don't think Nim is in the same category. It has too many features and defaults to garbage collection. Nim is more in the category of D and Go.

For me a C-replacement has to be a very simple and disciplined language, with 100% focus on low-level programming.

Nim is great though, I've used it to make some small tools/programs

Zig is also wonderful, hope to use it more once it's more stable
We cannot have people stuck in an era 3 decades old deciding the fate of our country as it goes into the future.

While I agree that the age skew in politics is curious, and perhaps incorrect, the other side of this is, "We cannot let people with 30 years less experience, knowledge, and history decide the fate of our country as it goes into the future."

Automatically associating youth with intelligence and "progress" and stereotyping people with years of accrued wisdom to being "old fogies" is textbook ageism.

It's something most of the rest of society grows out of by the time they hit college, but also a thing that persists within the SV bubble and what is now called "bro" culture. Fortunately, it's also illegal in many arenas.
This Melzer guy is doing journalism no favor by spinning narratives of malicious prosecution by Sweden by taking things out of context and without any evidence.

There is a good comment on that answer:

> To sum up: RegEx's are misnamed. I think it's a shame, but it won't change. Compatible 'RegEx' engines are not allowed to reject non-regular languages. They therefore cannot be implemented correctly with only Finte State Machines. The powerful concepts around computational classes do not apply. Use of RegEx's does not ensure O(n) execution time. The advantages of RegEx's are terse syntax and the implied domain of character recognition. To me, this is a slow moving train wreck, impossible to look away, but with horrible consequences unfolding

I’ve got a solution. Have each domain need to reflect the nation of its authorship. Ie a U.K. vlog has to post to a .uk domain. Really only meant for the big media platforms like YouTube, Twitter, FB, etc. What they would see at the .com site is all of their local content maybe with a trending globally section.
> I lost all my history when moving phones, as I chose not to back up my messages (who would?).

The trick is to use the local backup option (it's encrypted with a key from the whatsapp servers, but all the files are kept on your device), and use syncthing to copy the whole folder structure (containing the backup and the media) to the new phone before installing whatsapp. When first run, the whatsapp client detects the presence of that backup, asks whether you want to use it, gets the key from the whatsapp servers (after you authenticate your account), and restores the backup.

(By the way, Signal can do the same trick, but it's slightly less user-friendly: the encryption key does not come from the signal servers, it's a sequence of numbers you have to write down and type on the new phone.)
The people in CA have certain shared interests with the people of OK. They have, for instance, pooled their military resources together, so that if anyone invades CA, soldiers from OK will protect it the same as they would OK.

To cement that special relationship, the people of those states have given each other certain privileges, such as being allowed to move freely between those states.
Repeating myself here, but oh well: please don't quote the "fire in a crowded theater" trope to support censorship until you've actually read the SCOTUS opinion that it came from. It's not quite as bad as "three generations of imbeciles is enough", but it's a pretty awful decision nonetheless.
Congrats on the campaign! What did you do different from before? Does 186% funded cover your costs?
If a person walks into a police station and describes an event that is legally rape, then it's down to the police whether they pursue it. The person providing the evidence isn't the person charged with interpreting the law. So a woman can walk into a police station and describe something they don't think is a crime but that doesn't stop it being a crime. Now, according to the rapporteur, that's not true, according to the rapporteur, it's the other way around.

What I'm really interested in is why this is so popular now. Clicking on the name-next-to-the-title it looks like this is the 6th time it's been posted. The other posts got 13 points _total_, and this one is now at 130-ish.

How did you get good traffic to your campaign?
Thought exactly the same, too lazy to write it though. After some time of thinking about a proper logical argument of why and how the secret works, it's just because your mind is focused mostly on that thing that you're wishing for, and you start picking up cues all around from the real world.
I think the difference is that it’s not fringe obsessives but rather everyday people spreading bad info. Stuff like QAnon, white nationalism, anti-vax, GamerGate and so on might be mostly started and kept well alive by fringe obsessives but plenty of normal people are sharing their memes, lies and content in an uncritical manner in a way that’s very different to personal websites. Social networks have made it much easier for these lies to be spread and repeated whitewashing their true origins and becoming accepted.

If the physical world consists only of efficient causality, how can we create computational intelligence (that is, thinking computers or hard AI) that exhibits final causality from physical processes?

At some point the various efforts similar to DeepMind are going to hit this wall. Getting over it is going to require that either we use biological material (neurons, glia, etc) to bridge the gap or reproduce their extra-dimensional quantum features in hardware.
Wireguard needs to put actual logging into the product before anyone should consider using it in production.

I have to deal with it via a vendors product and have spend about 4 weeks in the past 6 months trying to fix a flaky connection by guessing and restarting a lot. Just like anything things will go wrong. But, with wireguard you have no idea what it could even be if it's not an obvious thing that you can diagnose with ping.
Even though it's a faux pas, I find it logically makes more sense to me.

Consider a pipeline like

cat *.log | grep "apache" | grep -v "1.1.1.1" | wc -l

It makes sense in that order. Read the file, grep this, exclude that, could the total. Meanwhile

grep "apache" *.log | grep -v "1.1.1.1" | wc -l

may be a few characters shorter but the order isn't really logical anymore.
No offense intended but this strikes me as an underlying sentiment of entitlement. If we rephrase the question,

Perhaps a less controversial example would be the interpretation of the three laws by the antagonist in the film I, Robot from 2004. From wikipedia[0], "in [the antagonist robot's] understanding of the Three Laws, she has determined human activity will eventually cause humanity's extinction, and as the Three Laws prohibit her from letting that sort of thing happen, she rationalizes that restraining individual human behavior and sacrificing some humans will ensure humanity's survival"

I think you can't ignore the importance of congressional oversight on the executive branch, and the benefits of experience there.
This is an unfortunate result of how California deals with property tax. In many places the property taxes go mostly/all to the school district and the city/county. When property values go up a lot there is no reason that they have to keep the property tax at the same rate. They could lower it to keep the expenditures the same. In some places they even just figure out a budget for the year and then set the property tax accordingly.

California property tax mostly goes to the state and it funds schools by giving money back to the local districts (except about 60 really rich ones that opted out!) based on the number of student days/school. I'm not really sure, but I think that prop 13 passed after the state started taking property tax money. That would make sense as people like to have control of how there taxes are spent.
> He will not receive a trial consistent with the rule of law. That’s another reason why his extradition shouldn’t be allowed. Assange will receive a trial-by-jury in Alexandria, Virginia – the notorious «Espionage Court» where the U.S. tries all national security cases. The choice of location is not by coincidence, because the jury members must be chosen in proportion to the local population, and 85 percent of Alexandria residents work in the national security community – at the CIA, the NSA, the Defense Department and the State Department. When people are tried for harming national security in front of a jury like that, the verdict is clear from the very beginning. The cases are always tried in front of the same judge behind closed doors and on the strength of classified evidence. Nobody has ever been acquitted there in a case like that. The result being that most defendants reach a settlement, in which they admit to partial guilt so as to receive a milder sentence.

I agree in general; but at some point don't we hit diminishing returns? If I were to say, "18.4 exabytes of RAM ought to be enough for everybody", that'd be basically correct, even future-proofing for the craziest sci-fi holodeck use cases we can imagine, right?

The USB-C ports wear out badly after a couple years of use and are loose. Lightning, as you are saying, still feels good after years of daily use. The duty cycle is higher for lightning and should be used for things which are often disconnected and reconnected like mobile devices.

OK, after refreshing my memory on GA, it seems that one of the nice things about it is that you don't have to think about the "row" vs "column" vectors present in "Vector Algebra". Which are usually represented in the form of matrices.
But you don't "need" them in GA, since you can directly work with vectors (= arrays) !
(Which makes it even more curious as to why matrices would be more efficient for 3D work ??)
Apple isn't going to change to USB-C anytime soon for iPhones because they make a significant amount of money with the MFI program (~$4/connector), the vast majority of which comes from lightning accessories.

As an engineering manager who's had to push adoption of new technologies, I feel this argument in my bones.

That said, taking your argument to the extreme, we all probably should've stuck with PHP, since everyone understood it and, well, was it really worth the switching cost? Naturally that's dumb, so there's a certain amount of "how do we get there?" with any new technology that's probably a good idea.

That's probably not going to get answered by the principal engineer who says This Tech Is The Future. It's going to get answered by people like you who think about switching costs and the impact new tech has on people.

I do find it interesting that Lindsay Graham is one of the main sponsors of this legislation. From the linked article,

>The idea is to make providers “earn” Section 230 immunity for CSAM claims, by complying with a set of guidelines that would be developed by an unelected commission and could be modified unilaterally by the Attorney General, but which are not actually binding law or rules set through any legislative or agency rulemaking process.

The structure and powers of this agency sound kind of like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau setup by the Obama administration. The CFPB was an unelected commission that could create rules financial institutions had to abide by, and dole out punishment in terms of fines, without going through a legislative or rule making process. What were Lindsay Graham's thoughts on the CFPB?

>Graham, however, called the agency the "most out-of-control, unaccountable federal agency" in Washington.

>"Really no oversight at all," he said. "They can get into everybody's business. I don't think they added much at all to the consumer protection. They sure add a lot to increasing costs for midsize banks throughout the country that had nothing to do with the financial collapse."

There may be groups of bad actors coordinating, maybe. But you remind me of this Alan Moore quote:

"The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory is that conspiracy theorists actually believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is chaotic. The truth is, that it is not the Jewish banking conspiracy or the grey aliens or the 12 foot reptiloids from another dimension that are in control. The truth is more frightening, nobody is in control. The world is rudderless."

The more I learn about probability and complexity, as well as the lack of general knowledge of ergodicity leading us to make fallacious conclusions, the more this rings true.

Interesting! Thanks, that analogy is really helpful. I definitely don't have that level of photo realistic mind's eye. As you say, I can visualize things, but it's not remotely like seeing things in the real world. The way I hear things in my mind is much more like hearing the real words. So I guess by analogy I can kind of understand what it might be like to have a similar internal auditory experience to my visual one.

FWIW reading other comments here I also realized that a better way to describe my internal monolog than internal hearing would be internal speech. It's really more like 'saying' something in my head than 'hearing' it. Even if what I'm remembering is someone else talking, it's kind of a mix between hearing them in my head and.. something like me doing an impression of them to myself.

Odin has a 100% focus on (low-level) systems programming, allowing the user a very high control over memory layout and memory allocations which many other languages do not express as easily.

If you have tried Zig and/or a C or C++ programming, you might really enjoy programming in Odin. Odin feels wonderful to use and has solved all of the issues that C had and more.

I recommend reading the Overview (https://odin-lang.org/docs/overview/) and the Demo (https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin/blob/master/examples/demo/...)

P.S. Odin is now fully recognized by GitHub and supports syntax highlighting.
Would like to read more about this, can you provide a source?
There's a few apps that I liked that were completely pulled—not just unable to be purchased, but also, you can't re-download them if you had already bought them. One got pulled because the developer was hired by Apple, and one got pulled because the developer was bought by Facebook. And certainly a whole ton more that just... don't exist anymore, so I can't see them to be reminded of them.

Another thing that happens is apps that get steadily worse over time. Bad Piggies was one of the best iOS games I've ever played, but it got stuffed with obnoxious ads, and the experience of playing it is considerably worse than it was just after release.
