I'm sorry but I refuse to believe that you're having a great experience using IntelliJ IDEA with a Core2Duo and 4GB RAM.
The argument I've heard here, I think, is that in fact this is supposedly a trick, and not about preventing online censorship, but actually a sneaky way to increase censorship.

My understanding is that this is the problem that people have with this, and most people who are in that camp also hate Trump.

In my opinion, Trump's racism and other aspects are quite odious, but I want to believe that in this case he actually is fighting against censorship. Because it does seem that conservative viewpoints are being censored.

If this a trick, then we are more screwed than I thought. Because the left-leaning group actually seems to be asking for _more_ censorship.
All search plus some form of spaced memorization scheme for pages or blocks within pages would be nice, I wouldn't have to actively structure my notes that way. I hate structure, I'm always refactoring, so I prefer just saving things in one big folder with labels if I can. I wish I didn't even have to use folders in my file system!
I'm not surprised that Simple Analytics' gripe with cookie banners is regarding misleading designs instead of their existence in itself. Companies need to start thinking outside these norms.

Cookie banners are never necessary. If you want to collect analytics prior to obtaining consent, you should store this data locally on the browser so that you can ask for consent at a time that's more appropriate (e.g. during signup or content submission).
I mean, they do allow them, they just get drowned out.

You need to go to one of the online bulb retailers, like bulbs.com or 1000bulbs.com. They have the commercial/wholesale products that you can't find at most stores, e.g. dozens of LED bulb models from Philips that are not listed on their consumer website.

I recently bought some 100w-equivalent bulbs rated for enclosures (TCP brand, and also Philips) and some Philips LED replacements for fluorescent tubes that are actually as bright as the fluorescents -- 2600 lumens each.
> release any piece of junk and fix later. Maybe. Which TBF does seem to be how Microsoft works anyway.

It's been a while, but I managed to corrupt oneget/package management on windows within a month of it being released; I spent about a week trying to fix it and eventually figured out what the problem was (though I've since forgotten the details) only to find it unfixable without reinstalling Windows.

Unfortunately, reinstalling Windows means Office won't reactivate--I've taken it into a Microsoft store, and they couldn't help me.
> Concurrency is generally a bad thing

Okay, bud.
The person is speaking about idiomatic rust code and seems to assume a large code base needs to always be updated to be in the most idiomatic stile.

Most creates working on nightly only where tryfrom and async ones before that became stable. Now it's still common to find embedding and "crazy" creates (like there one which uses asm to hack in green threads) which work only on nightly.

Most maintained creates work on stable by now, but it's not un-common to have some nightly only features. Honestly I haven't run into a created I wanted to use which requires nightly in a long time.

The only crate which did cause me headaches in the recent year was ring (rustls,webpki) but that had gotten better.
I had the distinct misfortune to port an HPC & ethernet driver stack to AIX in the early 2000s. It was kinda BSD (mbufs), and kinda not (everything else), and just generally weird.

Having a test machine that took ~20 minutest to panic and reboot made the process extra fun.

It was one of the more annoying systems to develop drivers for that I've ever used. And I've done drivers for various BSDs, Linux, MacOS, ESX, Solaris, and even Tru64.
> Slicing in Python always create a new object.

Since you said "always", I'll be "that guy"...

For the builtin types, yeah. But not in general; user code can do whatever it wants:

class MyType:
def __getitem__(self, *args):
return self
my_obj = MyType()
my_other_obj = my_obj[3:7]
assert my_other_obj is my_obj
Love the commitment to shipment, an inspiration to us all. I also liked the post title and thought it was fun but also made it clear what to expect.

I agree with everything you say, but that transition will take time. I think Kotlin is a great language, and combines a lot of the best strengths of others while not giving up that JVM tooling goodness. However, I think you still need to have good Java chops to work with Kotlin, at least to deal with those dependencies. In fact, its almost exactly the situation that TypeScript has: yes, its a good language, but you can't really use it well unless you know JavaScript (and in particular, ES6) really well. Edit: sorry, I'm really talking more generally than Android. You're probably right about hiring for Kotlin for Android instead of Java. But Kotlin is targeted at everything, and for that I think it's probably good to wait a bit.
They had the same kinds of reaction to Ozzy and his ilk.
This is great. If you search Youtube there are quite a few videos of people doing their own off-grid solar installs, and some even grid tied. Obviously grid tied is a terrible idea if you don't get the proper permits and loop in the electrical company, but I've seen people doing it (and going to great lengths to conceal what they're doing, including using a relay to shut off the panel)

The economic advantage of having solar panels is completely negated by the fact that the electric company owns the grid, and therefore, tells YOU what you can and can't do to the wiring of your own home. At the end of the day they'll give you a credit on your bill and skim off the top of the power you're generating.

I have been wanting to build something like this, I want a lot more than 200W though.

A lot of off-grid solutions I have looked at use a ground rod. Does anyone happen to know when that becomes necessary? Obviously you can't have a ground rod in an airplane, for example, just chassis ground.
Most Android phones nowadays have more RAM than your laptop. That CPU is also 10+ years old and a phone running a Snapdragon 855 or 865 is going to perform 2-5x better depending on which exact chip you have and single vs multi core benchmarks. The Android emulator may not be the fastest thing in the world, but your 10 year old computer is certainly not helping.
Does your Core 2 Duo processor support hardware virtualization extensions (VT-x)? Some do, some dont. If it doesnt, you'd get no acceleration in the Android Emulator, so it would be expected to be pretty slow.
Are you sure you are dealing with the same issue?

Twitter didn't restrict Trump's tweet. It added their own speech (and not masqueraded as Trump).

Follow me here:

Citizen United says that corporations have the same free speech rights as individuals, thus allowing them to exercise their "speech" by dumping tons of dark money into politics.

Twitter exercised free speech by publishing something on their own platform.

The government is now trying to limit Twitter's right to free speech as has been upheld by the Supreme Court.

This is a Trump tantrum.
That control panel is amazing. Would be right at home in a sci-fi movie.
You mean enforcing section 230, but you are correct.
I actually read through all of these (the summaries, not the papers) in the process of writing the TLA+ wikipedia article. Some favorites:

* On the oft-misunderstood significance of the bakery algorithm: https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/pubs.html#bakery

* On submitting an algorithm with a bug in it, thus arousing interest in verifying concurrent algorithms (culminating decades later in the development of TLA+): https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/pubs.html#proving

* On how nobody has actually read his most famous paper (Time, Clocks...): https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/pubs.html#time-clocks

* Hanging out, drinking beer at Dijkstra's house: https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/pubs.html#new-approac...

* On creating the first (impractical) digital signature algorithm: https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/pubs.html#dig-sig

* A several-times-rejected paper which then became one of the most cited in the field of temporal logic: https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/pubs.html#sometime

* A lifelong source of fascination, the arbiter problem: https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/pubs.html#buridan

* The creation of LaTeX: https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/pubs.html#latex

* On presenting the first paxos paper in an Indiana Jones outfit, to widespread incomprehension: https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/pubs.html#lamport-pax...

I'll stop here because basically every single summary is fun and worth reading.
Indeed. Unix philosophy is many tools that all do one small thing well. Cat handles opening a file and sending it to another file. I start pipelines with cat whenever possible, in case later on I have to drop in zcat or similar instead.

The other examples given in the article also demonstrate that they have completely failed to understand not only Unix philosophy but also basic readability. For example, preferring the cryptic `something | grep . >/dev/null && ...` over `something | grep '..*' | wc -l`.
Tencent Music is a JV between Tencent/Spotify and is the dominant platform in China.
Yeah, I struggle to keep my RAM usage in PhpStorm below 1.5GB. And that's with me policing its indexing and what plugins are installed. There's no way that's a good experience.
Honestly I find not that much needs nightly anymore, but

> which obviously changes frequently.

Not nearly as much as you would think. Everything that doesn't need a `#![feature(...)]` at the top of your crate never changes. Most `#![feature(...)]` flags enable things actually change pretty rarely - you can definitely go years on nightly without hitting a breaking change if you're conservative in your conservative in you feature set.

> And I'm not sure if there was a "version" that ever worked on stable, as that information isn't immediately visible on crates.io.

That would be a nice feature to have! But I bet that you would find that if a crate currently needs nightly, it needed nightly from basically the start.
I like the concept, I see many sites like these. However, who actually uses these in a day to day situation? It feels like these thinking models need to be internalized in more than just a superficial way to get any real use out of them, and I wonder if a book or course wouldn't integrate better with one's mind.
A perfect killer example is globally accessible prediction markets. They always get shut down by governments. Isn’t it crazy that you currently can’t place a bet on a horse race or a presidential election in the US?
This was glorious with Clojure's Schema. I miss it every day I work with inferior languages and data specification systems.
> I think of the cathedrals, temples, mosques, etc. that have been built all over the world, where the people who started the work knew they wouldn't live to see it finished, but that didn't dissuade them.

That's mind-boggling. Why would building a cathedral/mosque/temple take longer than a lifetime (or half)?

Optional<T> is itself a reference and can itself be null. That effectively torpedos the entire concept out of the gate. Nullity being part of the data type is a huge difference, and exposes so many "I didn't know that could be null" spaces.
> like there one which uses asm to hack in green threads

Hey, I implemented that at one point (crazy is a good description)! But I didn't publish it on crates.io (just gitlab). Did someone actually publish a crate that does this?

I defy anyone to write a rule with any kind of specificity for the first case.

User count? Great, while the user count is < N the platform is moderated and popular. As soon as the user count exceeds N it's instantly a cesspool of spam and porn. Then what, it bleeds users and drifts back into the first category again? They're going to write subjective distinctions on the content of the speech into the law to differentiate between spam, porn, porn-spam, and political speech?

It doesn't work! If it could work, please, anyone who reads this comment: Many of us are programmers here, propose a rule that doesn't fall apart.

The second interpretation is at least consistent, even if it does protect corporations.

If Twitter is the devil just leave Twitter, no one has to use it. Gab exists. We have no legal right to access the people who are on Twitter.
My site lead (small office, big-ish company) sent as survey. Only 25% percent of people wanted to work from home more days per week than they work in the office. Heck, 40% said they wanted to return before the date our CEO selected.

There seems to be a group on HN that really wants to make the desire to WFH seem universal. A few weeks ago a post like yours likely would have been buried.
if you are that uncomfortable with depictions of violence in song, you will need to reckon with the entire long history of popular music, because it has been a subject in demand since long before now.
On the Postmates App, yes, you definitely care about where you're getting your food. The marketplace here is between eater (buyer) and restaurant (supplier).

However, if you are a business that wants to offer delivery directly and don't want to create your own delivery network, you would use Postmates API. In this case, the business (buyer) doesn't care about each individual supplier (i.e. the fleet is a commodity).
Now just need a solid video editor!
Start by repealing the Citizens United ruling. If corporations can't have free speech, then this isn't an issue.
They remind me of Wes Anderson's sets.
It's my own experience.

Here's an example:

I have 2 accounts, one that I use for politics and news, conservative leaning, WSJ, Thomas Sowell, Peter Robinson (Uncommon Knowledge), Kimberley Strassel... that brand of conservatism, not talking about the crazy alt-right shit here which I don't follow, and a second account that I use for my work with only software dev stuffs and mainstream/more neutral media, Reuters etc, nothing that could brand me as conservative.

On my political & news account I'm always getting recommendations for CNN and other left-leaning commentators and media (no recommendation for other conservative outlets) at the top of my recommendation list, or some kind of outrageous claim that a right leaning person would have done, for example, right now got:

"Kellyanne Conway compares voting in person to waiting in line for cupcakes".

Another one: "Trump makes unsubstantiated claim that mail-in ballots will lead to voter fraud"

I also got "Don Lemon" on "Trending".

That's the kind of recommendation I'm not getting on my work account, where it's mixed between news (without any outrageous/divise claims unless there's really something crazy that happened that day) and other subjects targeted to my interests.

Is it a scientific proof, no, but once you spend enough time comparing with multiple accounts like that you can see a pretty clear pattern on how they try to influence, and it's not subtle even.
I was just acquired into a team that enthusiastically recommended that book. Are there any alternative references I could look at or point to as alternatives? I've used a good bit of Flask but don't have much experience with Django.
I have seen some 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s era control rooms in old wind tunnels from NACA/NASA, and many of them look like this. My favorite is where they indicators are in the shape of a big flow diagram so they're self-describing in function as well.

Yes, lawsuits can easily be abused as a form of asymmetric warfare, where they cost exceptionally little to initiate and exceptionally more to defend against even the most baseless and outrageous claim.

We are physical beings, and even as someone who has enjoyed working with computers since a very young age in the 80s, I always felt that the more things are virtualized into intangible data and user interfaces, the less interesting and real things feel.

Fuck vue.js. Launch your thing. EarlyBrd only used jinja2 templates with Flask. Now I'm migrating to laravel and only use Blade templates. Prove your thing out first because most users don't really care unless you're making some kind of real-time data analytics bs (in which case inqtel or other prob wants to send you some money)
Remember that we're talking about emulating an entire system here, which is very different from running an IDE (even considering that an IDE like IntelliJ is pretty heavy-weight).

Windows and Linux themselves in a VM is probably reasonably ok on your hardware because both of those OSes are built to run on non-current hardware (especially Linux; I'm running Debian buster with a current kernel on a circa 2010 single-core ARMv5 CPU with 256MB of RAM with no problems).

Android doesn't target old hardware; I wouldn't expect a current release to run all that well even on a four-year-old phone, let alone a 10+-year-old laptop with virtualization overhead.

Also the usual stuff applies: be sure you have your system's virtualization extensions enabled if it has any, use the x86 Android emulator image with hardware accel enabled, not the ARM one, etc. But that still may not be enough.
Not an answer to your question, but the Sagrada Famila [1] began construction in 1882, and is projected to be completed around 2030. It's an immense (and beautiful) structure. Just want to point out that it's not just a matter of the buildings being built a long time ago; this kind of long-term construction is still happening today.
It’s totally a vendetta. If it was legitimate it would have come at a different time, not a couple days after his tweet was marked and especially during a pandemic. He’s a big crybaby, and somehow wants a private company to abide by 1A

Would love to have something like a mix between the Notes app and Etherpad, so that I can take notes using the Apple Pencil, then "replay" the writing process, and hopefully be able to post it online as well.
As others point out, just pay attention to specs. Anything with a CRI of 95 or higher will be virtually impossible to differentiate from incandescent.
This statement doesnt appear to add any new information to the discussion.
In a past job one of my duties was AIX administration. My favorite part about AIX was smitty.

It gave you a menu for everything you need to do on the system, but it would also give the command that it run. That was if you forgot how to do something, just fire up smitty, and get the command for future reference. It was very handy when writing scripts.
Your statement is an error in interpreting polls. Polls cannot tell you who will win the election, only the probability of each result. Trump has about a 30% chance of winning according to the polls.

The polls themselves were no less accurate as they have been historically, on average. They were not wrong, but have always had the limitation of only representing probabilities.
> Sorry, you don't just get to decide what is a larger point in some discussion.

The whole point was the editing of comments. You keep going back and forth between 'political speech' being the same or different, but you hallucinated that as having anything to do with the discussion.

> these are different categories of speech

Maybe to the government, not to whether a website is a publisher or a platform. Protected political speech and criticism of the government has nothing to do with the topic at hand, no matter how many times you keep trying to inject it.
Maybe they are fact checking Biden and it doesn't seem like it cause they come up empty. LOL
Modern browsers are smart enough to only download the required file type, sniffing is unnecessary the vast majority of the time and you save an entire 3rd party connection.

I have some spreadsheets* that have every charting hit on the billboard charts. I haven't gone through the general charts that much, but I'd say the ones I have gone through are really surprising. We tend to think we know what the most popular music from the past is, but if you look at the singles that charted the highest throughout modern history you'll find a lot of forgettable crap.

*Technically the data is copyrighted, so sadly I can't share.
That's what I had heard before, but I looked it up and it's not quite accurate. They do have their own crawler, and they pull from "400 different sources", Bing being one of the major ones.

I have installed trillium twice before, when trying to find a better alternative to a bunch of google docs, but didn't end up using it. The reason is that you cannot readily share an editable copy of a document with a link, which ends up happening with half the documents I write in Google docs. If that was an option, I think it'd be preferable to Google docs in every way (for me).
