Interesting. Online, there are differences between say privacy and anonymity. TOR allows ads & trackers but standardizes/blocks a lot of things to provide anonymity (a kind of blending in). The Epic Privacy Browser blocks ads, trackers and lots of things to provide privacy (a kind of hiding).

Perhaps I misread, but to me 'tends to go up' makes it sound like an observed incidental effect, rather than a deliberate action.

Essentially I was saying 'sure, there's a correlation, isn't there also causation, aren't we the cause?' (which isn't the way around that's usually said!)

It's still missing important pieces. They both fall under the superset of "hash chain" / Merkle tree, but cryptocurrency blockchains are designed to deal with the possibility of bad actors. Git can't ensure trust, unless you PGP sign commits.

Git + PGP + some computationally expensive mechanism to broadcast verified PGP key attributions + a consensus algorithm might be a little bit like a blockchain, but I can't think of a good use case for that. Git repos generally aren't intended to be pushed to by the whole world.
I don't know how you arrive to this conclusion… prettier never mixes tabs and spaces, it would be a bug if it did. And there's no meaningful difference between tabs and spaces in Python either. Python has significant indent stops, that's all.

Furthermore, prettier has a python plugin which does support tabs.

I accidentally recursively chown'ed / to myself on a server in Antarctica that was a critical gateway for our geophysical network, the night before we were planned to leave the ice. Luckily, my flight was delayed... I spent the next day wiping the server and setting it up from scratch, after giving up on trying to recover from all the bizarre problems that stem from owning all the system files (including broken ssh). You should try it sometime!

This is my experience as well. At least once a year I get convinced by a HN comment that FF is now much better.

It sounds like you aren't choosing your domain of focus properly. Are you teaching computer science, data science, a hard science, or a social science? You can't have your cake and eat it too. Do you want a language that's easy to teach, easy to solve scientific data problems with? Python with libraries.

Do you want something fast using for loops and other primitives? Don't use python!

Do you want something with great stats and easy graphing but little else? Use R or similar.

Do you want all the benefits of python but want to compile the hot path? Use bindings/cython/any of the numerous inline voodoo python tools.

> The matrix product should also be rightly available without need to "import" anything

Why? Even the python stdlib requires imports. The bare language needs keywords and primitives, that's it. Any matrix operation code that loads without import is more overhead.

It sounds like you want a DSL * . Use matlab/octave/R/SPSS. But don't be shocked when you wanna wrap a gui/webpage/api around your code and it's painful.

* DSL in the loosest sense, a specialized, less general language

Generally speaking, multi-display monitor support is a mess on Linux (especially if you so anything slightly out of the ordinary).

KDE honestly seems the best for this, although on the latest version of GNOME has fractional scaling available behind a flag (although also buggy and very slow).
Should the government prop up 10 competitors in every industry? Is there a geographical threshold? If there is one plumber in a small town should the government prop up more or punish the one guy who wants to serve that market? Does market size matter? What if I discovered a super niche market that no one serves should we assume this market needs 10-100 competitors?

Off the top of my head I have 100s of other questions and problems with your idea. I think picking a constant number to apply throughout the entire economy is going to be fraught with edge cases.

No. Posession of any data should never be criminal. Just like you wouldn't send someone to prison how having a book, you shouldn't send someone to prison for simply having a picture, no matter what it is a picture of.

I don't think I have to say that obviously child rapists are the worst scum of the earth and they should rot in prison forever. But the idea that you can send someone to prison for simply having a picture(or in some countries, a drawing!!!), is just simply idiotic.
Because that's not how flying works. When you apply rudder, you create a moment in the yaw axis, but that doesn't change the vector of the aircraft's speed/momentum. So your plane is still moving along its original vector, it's just not pointed straight at the direction it's moving anymore. This creates aerodynamic inefficiencies (which often self-correct) until eventually the plane's motion vector can be re-aligned to the direction it's pointing (completing a turn). Unfortunately, this is super inefficient. You're basically burning extra fuel to compensate for the aerodynamic inefficiencies you created by using the rudder only.

Plus, there may be some juddering/felt turbulation by the passengers, depending on how severe your induced yaw is. The passenger would also feel the plane pushing them to the side, rather than back and down into the seat as in a conventional turn.

Changing direction more conventionally is way more efficient, loads control surfaces less, is more consistent for passengers, and is pretty much better in every way.

The "IBM" of human spacecraft, that built the Apollo CSM and Space Shuttle was North American which indeed was acquired by Boeing. McDonnell built the earlier smaller Mercury and Gemini, and it also was acquired by Boeing. Space shuttle was started 50 years ago and Apollo 60 years ago. So not so much continuity. CCDev contracts were awarded 6 years ago in 2014.

Earlier, in 2011, Lockheed beat Northrop Grumman for the bigger Orion spacecraft.
It works quite well, but it's very crashy.

I tried yesterday (5.17.3 IIRC, mind you): plasmashell crashed, then followed by systemsettings5, and konsole. Drkonqui popped up for the bug report, but crashed halfway. Then popped up again with a link for manual bug reporting. Clicked it, it crashed again.

Sometimes QML applets crash (there was a bug with the CUPS one recently, if there were duplicated job IDs), and bring down plasmashell with them. But that also happens on X11, which can leave the environment quite empty, and hard to debug for my non-techie family.

On Wayland, I miss primary clipboard buffer (selection), which works on sway. Also, default popup placement is wrong. Besides that, not much.

I really like KDE plasma, but started using sway for Wayland, and stayed for the tiling. I might think about writing a kwin module to ingest my sway config, and only that... :)

>And to get back to your question the answer is yes

That was not what I've asked, so I'll repeat the question: do you find it unjust that women are underrepresented in those kinds of jobs? Do you find it unfair that ~100% of people unloading truckloads of 50 kg cement bags are men? Do you find it outrageous that ~100% of people welding I-beams 20 meters above the ground in freezing temps are men? That ~100% of people mining coal are men, that ~100% of people getting oil out of the ground are men, that ~100% of people felling, dragging and loading trees are men?

And on top of that, I'll ask whether it concerns you at all that white men have such a low level of representation in higher education now, that in some places they qualify for minority status? That their representation in a number of white collar, well-compensated, air-conditioned office jobs is in low single digit percent?

There are a few news organizations somehow battling it out to survive without advertising and I applaud them, but most comments like these simply remind me of this sentiment: https://thenib.com/mister-gotcha/
Reading between the lines on this, it's plainly apparent why there's been repeated attacks on encrpytion by the US government. From this, through RSA's Dual_EC_DRBG, to the present day, it's obvious that the US highly values rigging the deck to aid their decryption, and that the current democratisation of encrpytion protocols is a threat to them.

I mean, you only need to read their repeated admissions that without MINERVA their intelligence recovery would've dropped from ~80% to ~10% to see why they're trying to play the same game plan again and again. Whether that's through puppetmastering encryption companies like in this article, sneaking it in via bribes (RSA's Dual_EC_DRBG), or most recently trying to legislate it through (FB, Whatsapp, etc. E2E encryption), it's all essentially the same play.

As a corollary to all this, it's another point of evidence that strong encryption really is beyond the reach of even the biggest three-letter-acronyms, and that there's no secret sauce technology out there letting them mass-decrypt everything. If there was, then perhaps there wouldn't be such a strong push to rig the deck in the first place. At least that's heartening.

Interesting. That's a $2 SoC, part of NXP's "Ultra Low Cost" line. The whole BOM cost is probably around $10-15, so hopefully F-Secure can sell enough of these to bring consumer cost down.

I can see a lot of use for these guys, but it's hard to justify when as Pi Zero outspecs it for 5% of the cost. I'd pick it up just to hack around if it was closer to the $50 range.
I'm amiable to this reasoning right up until software conveniently forgets that I told it "no, I don't care, stop bugging me about it". And again.

It's the kind of "oops haha just a mistake that we did the bad thing again" shenanigans that Mozilla employees complain about Google doing.
> So because you're a CEO you can't believe whatever you want in your spare time?

Clearly, if you a CEO and publicly supporting causes, your support for those causes will have an impact on the reputation of the organisation.

Now, I sure you can think of examples of more extreme spare-time beliefs that you might think were incompatible with being CEO, so its a question of where you particularly draw the line. (Or perhaps you can't and you think that any extreme free-time campaigning is fine).

FWIW, I'm not in San Francisco.

Now Mozilla has, whether you like it or not decided to build its brand values and ethos around equality and inclusivity - it is written all through its positioning and marketing material. Similarly Apple pitched privacy. If it was discovered that Tim Cook had a part time gig with Cambridge Analytica etc. I doubt he would last that long.

Regarding Google et al:

> Just because they don't explicitly say it out loud doesn't mean they care.

That's correct they don't say it out loud, they don't explicity campaign on the issue and their CEO doesn't donate money towards it.

> I trust Brave and Brendan far more on privacy issue since they only care about that and don't shove woke politics onto my face.

If Brendan started donating to an organisation campaigning to give law enforcement and marketing companies access to your personal data, do you think it would be compatible with his position at Brave? Bear in mind that, apparently when it comes to privacy, very few people care about that shit (as can be seen from Chrome's market share) and there is good money to be made selling data.
HN adopted an anti-blockchain stance for the same reason it adopted a stance against memes, political ideologues trying to "red pill" people, culture war flame wars, etc.: to save itself. If it hadn't it would have devolved during the 2017 cryptocurrency mania into one of those abandoned forums full of nothing but spammy looking posts shilling cOinZ.

This is still a somewhat interesting place because topics that attract hordes of spammers and shills and low-effort memers are either outright banned or downvoted instantly to oblivion.

Do you have any sources to back up this claim? I know for a fact that StatCounter uses JavaScript [1] to collect data, much like Google Analytics. I do not see any reason why they would have a separate collection method for browser statistics. Even if they do have alternative collection methods, if they combine that data source with the javascript collection method - it would still cause FF usage to be under reported.

> HN is very anti-blockchain which is surprising.

Completely disagree. Any discussion about the technical limitations or economic limitations of blockchain or cryptocurrency is immediately downvoted.

Blockchain and cryptocurrency have a high amount of hype and irrational believers who see any form of criticism as a direct attack. The technologies (and economics) are much more limited than the irrational believers realize, and they (irrational believers) shoot the messenger instead of taking the time to learn basic economics and distributed computing.
> So the model is bounded by the context window, which is currently mostly at 512 tokens, and is thus, bounded in how much it can understand.

This is begging the question as to whether the model "understands" anything at all. And once you adopt a definition of "understanding" that isn't equivalent to "got a high score on some pointless academic challenge" the answer is a resounding "no." The whole enterprise of AGI hype is based on this equivocation of words like "understanding" and "intelligence." We use a very restricted definition in proving that the tech is smart, and then switch out our restricted definition for the colloquial one when the audience isn't looking.

If I have extra volume in the airframe, and I'm using it for fuel tanks, why wouldn't I use it for conventional aviation fuel and extend the range of my plane? I can use existing infrastructure, not have to worry about cryogenics, not have to worry about high pressure fluids...

We know how to use aviation fuels safely now. Although hydrogen is interesting as a potential fuel, I don't anticipate its use in the near future.
Every time there is a new KDE announcement/release I give it another try. I don't like it. I miss the KDE 3.5 days. The DE seemed more cohesive then and worked very well. Ever since they went down the plasma route it looks like they focused on making it look pretty. The whitepapers and announcements made it sound like there was hefty backend improvements but each update was buggy for me.

I still use KDE apps, I find that a lot of them are perfect; but the DE has been limping along since the 4.0 re-write.

Rant: Why the fuck would I ever use a DE "app-store-thing"?! I use my OS's tools for installing/upgrading/uninstalling programs. Stop trying to help, you are making it worse.

Side note: I really liked the music in that video.
What I kept thinking.
I made an account just because of the assumptions you've made that are egregiously incorrect.

> I think being “woke” is only “not good” if you subscribe to the Fox News Cult.

I've never watched Fox News (outside of the odd clip that has Bill O'Reilly saying something insane). I am not from the USA. "Woke" isn't well defined but most people when they use it are referring to the insane left wing hypocritical politics. Believe it or not you don't have to be "ignorant right winger" to disagree with insane policies.

Also you've managed to do this nonsense of saying "well you must be one of these [ignorant people] so I can dismiss your opinion". Which must be some sort of fallacy. I don't know what it would be called, but it is certainly fallacious.

> Thinking carefully about the ethics of the company you work for, especially those in-demand employees who largely have a choice like software engineers, is definitely important. This is not a partisan issue.

Many of these companies expose "woke" ideas and make nice adverts while quite happily paying sweatshop wages in Asia. Many people see this as hypocritical.

Also developers need a reality check. You can and will be replaced by someone they can hire for cheaper if you don't want to do the job. There are what seven billion people on the planet? You are not special.

> If you don’t believe that “social justice” is good, what do you find appealing about the alternative of “social injustice?”

Social Injustice isn't the opposite of Social Justice it is Justice. Justice should be kept to the courts.

From what I've seen Social Justice normally normally includes things like harassment campaigns (and yes there are organised harassment campaigns), de-platforming of speakers and going after people's income known as "breaking their rice bowl" or they do some sort of insane "reverse racism". All of which I oppose.

I really don't understand this line of thinking.

Any engineer or tech at SpaceX is likely worth their weight in gold at any other company due to the company's perceived high bar. Additionally, I don't hear complaints about their pay either, which is likely extremely good.

No one is locking them into cages and telling them they can't leave. I would bet most everyone who is there strongly believes in the mission.

EDIT: Eh. They aren't paid fantastically but not slave wages either. Additionally this is spread out over three very different cities.

I've had a few arguments with junior developers about clean code. They want to hyper-abstract everything because that's what they learned in school.

I find people saying things like "criticism of the Chinese government is not racism" is akin to things like "I am not racist because I have black friends".

Anywho, I gave you an actual link of a pubmed article about the H1N1 2009 outbreak being under-reported, yet the criticism is once again about China controlling information flow. Where is the criticism of under-reporting from the US and Mexico H1N1 outbreak from 2009 and 2010 and controlling the information flow? I don't remember any of that, do you?
Humans have problems detecting written sarcasm. Not surprising that NLP models struggle with it too.

It's difficult because even if you have the context, the original poster can change classification after being called out by replying "oh, I was just kidding/I was being sarcastic". The same comment may and may not be sarcastic at the same time, Schrödinger's cat style.

That being said, it's an interesting problem. Hope you find something good.
Klara – Simplified practical diary which increases self awareness
You're misunderstanding my point. Transport subsidy funded from current income is a good idea. Spending your entire capital infrastructure budget on making it free for a few years is not. The 'lingering benefits' don't linger long if you then have to hike fares massively because you've got a big loan to repay as a result with no new assets you can exploit to service it.

It's for this reason that saying 'we could spend the money on making buses free for a N years' is meaningless. It would be more sensible to say 'we should spend the £Nbn we spend on maintaining the motorway network on free buses' because those types of spending are equivalent.
