TIL. That's awful, but then again I'd expect nothing less from Apple. It's a miracle they even supported open standards in the first place.

As long as Apple keeps OpenCL around, even if it's deprecated, these tools should still work. I'd expect that only the announcement of complete removal of OpenCL support would be enough to actually make hashcat put in the extra effort of writing a special Apple backend like that. Maybe they're generous or bored and do it before that, but I wouldn't expect them to in the near future.
Did you know martin luther king was a plagiarist and a philanderer in addition to being a great civil rights leader? Should we bring down his statues?
I never even realize GitHub had a project listing page. I miss the old FreshMeat (later FreeCode) back when it was the entire FreshMeat+SlashDot+SourceForge network.

FreshMeat was an amazing resource for new and exciting open source tools. Today ... it's pretty much just Hackernews, and we only get a small subset.
My only memory is of the closing ceremony: a fleeting image of a bear mascot being carried across the stadium by balloons. I watched that on TV as a nine-year-old boy in Slovakia..
For those interested in avoiding the complexity of dealing with industrial bacteria strain that can't survive easily in normal conditions, I recommend looking into traditional yogurts.

. They don't need sterilization at all

. They mature at room temperature

. They taste great and have a range of different textures and flavour depending on the strains

. They are stable among generations and can be reused indefinitely

My favorite is Viili but the slimy texture is challanging for some.

This is a great low scale shop that I use:

This strikes me as awfully glib. My parents aren't racists and they empathize with the police reforms that BLM is advocating for (so do I).

But they were raised with the belief that racism was due to prejudice. To them, racism is judging someone by their skin color / background rather than the actions of that individual.

They don't buy into the idea of microaggressions and implicit bias. To many nowadays that makes them racist individuals. To me that begs the question, what behavior today might be seen as racist decades from now?
I didn't say the Apple wasn't in the wrong... my focus was on why Hey was bringing this to the forefront now.

They went into this with eyes wide open.
Well if it's working for everyone but a select few, then I'd argue the problem is with those select few and not the product.
Conservatives like to pretend that having their words taken down from a prominent platform, or getting pushback or harsh criticism, is the same as being sent to a re-education camp. Who's the snowflake now?
i’ve got many reasons for that :

- you are forced to purchase an apple computer to push to the app store (which are more expensive)

- you are forced to use the app store to deploy to end-user phones that they bought. There’s no other « app store » than apple’s one, because it’s forbidden by their app store guidelines in the first place

- you are forced to pay and register your company on the app store to deploy on iOS devices inside your own company.

- they can, and do, remove your authorization to deploy your own app on your consumer’s devices at any time, for any reason,without any appeal possible to a third party legislator. And thus, they can kill your business at any time (and they did many times).

It’s a totally controlled environment in which you pay the apple tax over and over again, for having the privilege to be f*cked over at any time, for any reason.

I’m never going to develop on non cross-platform tools ever again.
Compression for correlated measurements can be spectacular. ClickHouse can often get 99.9% reduction in data size with the right combination of codecs (delta, double-delta, gorilla, etc.) and compression (e.g., ZSTD). Sort order within tables is also important.
You have to have an email account to sign up for Facebook; if you wish to keep in touch with your old colleagues you can simply ask them for their email addresses. This is what I did when I quit Instagram.
>the Trump campaign was seen (correctly) as a total disorganized disaster and one of the biggest clown-shows in modern political campaigns ... and yet they were at the same time these nefarious puppet masters using modern high-tech technology to manipulate voters

Trump's posse is certainly a clown show but the "disorganized" bit is misleading. In the backend they are absolutely a decades-honed elite movement with boatloads of money, influence/coercion, and genocidal bloodlust. It wasn't a disorganized insurgency, it was a planned coup from a demographic of geriatric brats with virtually no sense of obligation to their nation or humanity.
Most of the funeral industry has been bought out by private equity interestingly. A single firm, Providence Equity, now controls most of the "Death Care" industry in the US. Also yes that is the official term.

How so? That link describes a Monopsony as a situation where there is only one buyer; are all iOS device users "buyers" from the App Store?
I don't think you're lazy. It sounds like you're probably just avoiding frustration.

I think we're creatures of habit. If you create a habit you will naturally have the desire to keep doing the thing, even if it doesn't give you pleasure right away. If on top of that you add a little curiosity and a bit of desire to keep getting better you will quickly feel the need to do something with regularity.

In fact I'd argue most things worth doing will be quite unsatisfactory for a time until you start feeling pleasure. A musical instrument? Programming? Painting? Writing? Sports? A new language? Cooking? Yeah you will be crap at all those until you aren't.

The trick to getting started is having the willpower and the tolerance to frustration to keep doing the thing through the initial hardships.

I struggled a lot with recognizing frustration in myself when I was younger which made learning to tolerate it even more difficult. Once you start feeling frustrated you have to remind yourself that everything is ok and that you will figure it out. You will never be immune to frustration, but by exposing yourself to frustration gradually your tolerance will get better.
I miss Freshmeat. That was the golden ear is neat open source stuff.
protecting against the zero-bound is the value - that's not a scam. As the ratio of potential loss to net worth drops, that's less interesting and so is the insurance.

Varying levels of deductible choices hard code this notion even further into the system. If you're farther from zero-bound worries you can essentially buy less insurance with a high deductible.

>A pointer is just an address for something. There is a "reference" operator to get a variable's address (pointer) and a "dereference" operator to get the data at a given address. That's it.

Everybody's brain is different but your exact "simple" explanation for pointers has been tried on many beginners and they still don't "get it". It's still going to be confusing.

For many (most?) beginners, it's only after they've done some examples when they can go back and re-read your simple explanation such that it makes sense. Therefore, your simple "definition" becomes understandable after the person has learned what pointers are through examples.

How would that be?

>Unless you have ADHD due to genetic factors then imo it's just a mask over the real emotional issue. A very effective and useful one but still a temporary measure.

If it's not a neurodevelopmental issue it wouldn't be ADHD to begin with since it doesn't fit the description, no?
Of course they didn't do it for charity. That's my point. They spent billions on development and marketing to risk the idea people would want to use mobile apps from an "App Store." Spoiler alert, people liked it. Shouldn't they be rewarded for taking that risk?

Or is the problem just that they became too popular?

Also, the Google analogy would only work if websites were directly built on google's platform. Google did not create HTML, doesn't host your website, and doesn't provide the hardware and browser software for you to access it through.

I'm always interested in these anonymous reviews that make "x seem so easy", I end up assuming there's a bias.

The guide was written by "Maxim" and posted as "artif4ct". The tool "Scraper.AI" is owned by the company "Roadwork", which a google of "Roadwork scraperai" leads to the likely developer Xavier Geerinck[1].

A google of "Xavier Geerinck "Maxim"" leads then to the brother Maxim Geerinck who has a real medium page [2]. The poster "artif4ct" previously talked a lot about betanotify.com, which was written by Maxim so it's fair to assume Maxim runs "artif4ct".

I have nothing against self-promotion of a neat tool, but using a sock-puppet medium account to promote the ease of a tool your brother wrote without any mention of the bias or cost is, in my opinion, unethical.

On another note, there's a small spelling mistake here: "Therefor we bill based on usage where each scrape represents 1 unit." which should be "Therefore we bill based on usage where each scrape represents 1 unit.".

Anytime someone equates private control of a private platform with an abridging of “free speech” rights I automatically think they have suffered a head injury that has damaged their ability to think and makes them take nonsensical positions.

If I flood Hacker News with TIMECUBE truth and they delete my posts are they infringing on my free speech rights?

Sadly, these days that's as true with NYT, WaPo, etc. One of the reasons that sites like ZH have become more popular is that the "papers of record" have abandoned their historic standards.
Most of us moderates were shamed off social media years ago. I locked myself out of my HN account because I was tired of being flame baited by Woke tyrants. Don't use Facebook, don't use Twitter. This new ideology seems more popular than it is because the sane people have left the internet. Most of us keep quiet about this stuff because any wrong think will end our careers.

Congrats, Woke people. You'll never know the size of your opposition until election day because you've made it too dangerous to question the narrative openly.
Great find. I'm new to programming, currently learning Python3, but heard about this Smalltalk branch of programming languages, and afterwards I intend to take the Pharo MOOC, to learn a modern version:

So far I still didn't get the point with object orientation, at least in Python. All these cat, dog, mammals-like examples look pointless, I still can't see a big advantage over normal procedures and functions, and it just looks worse to my eyes. I hope I can finally get the point with object orientation by plunging in a pure OO environment.
Chaos is way easier to game if your goal is to accentuate chaos to an extreme.

It's a mistake to think all competitors want a competitor they can trick into helping them. What if they just want to see their competition crumble?
Tom Cotton's editorial was not run in social media. This is much, much bigger than social media. Also, do you understand that you're advocating self-censorship? How is that a positive development for a liberal democracy, when large swathes of the population just remove their voices from the public debate out of fear for the "shoot first, don't ask questions" social justice mob?

I have an electric stove. My neighbor has a gas stove. Everyone says gas is better. It does get warmer faster + works when the power is out.

Then again, my house won't blow up. This seems like a major win.

However recently my neighbor was able to get emergency generators with 48 hour run times supplied by inline natural gas. To do this with Tesla Home Batteries would require perhaps 6 of them.

So still undecided on where I stand.
Lessons learned building a personal portfolio website
I agree with you. Its not in the insurance companies best interests to pay out when they can, they have no incentive to "help" you. Sometimes I wonder if home insurance is even worth it. Barring the house burning down from a lightning strike they'll try to clause their way out of almost every situation and even if they can't paying the deductible and insurance increases aren't even worth it except in the most extreme cases.

I pretty much pay them just so I don't have to experience the social ramifications of telling people I didn't have home insurance if something did happen.

It's incredibly hard to deliver bad news with the right tone. The objective is to deliver precise, true information, and have people go and think (not guess) what's the impact on them.

Conversly, it's really easy to sound as if you don't care enough, or be openly frustrated and deflecting responsibility to someone else (especially if that's justified). This way you end up with people angry at individuals, and not thinking about the next steps (whether getting their own career in order, or continuing the project in a different setup).

Lying, or being wishy-washy is the path of least resistance. I think managers are getting paid to do uncomfortable things and with time might become awesome even in these hard situations, but YRMV.
It's really important to you that other people see what kinds of ads you want them to see.

I just have to take a step back from this for a second, because I really, really dislike the concept that other people have decided that I need to be politically educated (and through Facebook ads, no less). Goodness. If you wish to view political ads, or adds for dog hair brushes, by all means, go for it. Do not attempt to force me to do so.

If you want to know where the assumption of sinister intentions comes from, read your comment again: you want to decide what I see.
Pretty certain that settlement admits no guilt.
Agreed. Apple is an oligopoly providing a service that has become more or less 'must have' So are Google/Facebook in their markets. Oligopolies that are 'must have' already exist. They are called utilities and they are regulated. A lot. And taxed, a lot.

Silicon Valley succeeded, they billed an empire (multiple ones actually). They were amply compensated and justly so. It's time for regulators and the taxmen to step in (as with any new territory/market).
We're absolutely doing things that future generations will find abhorrent. And as our thinking as humans evolves, I hope we'll also change our behavior. But let's not make the perfect the enemy of the good. When we are aware that behaviors and symbols are hurtful to other humans, and we genuinely believe that other people should be able to live without fear, then we should change both.

We're not going to get it 100% right, or find 100% of the situations where we're screwing it up, or even come up with the right solutions right away, but it's too often that conservatives simply want to throw their hands up and either downplay or outright ignore the problem in order to say it's not solvable or not worth solving. That's just cowardice, and we can do better.

This reminds me of Philip K. Dick’s experience, somewhat detailed in VALIS, of receiving information via a pink laser aimed at his forehead. One of the things he learned was that his son had a tumor that needed to be removed immediately.

Similar to this event, doctors didn’t believe him (there were no signs of a tumor, so they had no reason to) but had a scan done anyway to make him go away, and his son had a tumor exactly as described.
I'm not in favour of governments setting prices, because it's not flexible enough, it's costly for tax payers, and it creates incentives for lobbying (or bribing) the regulator instead of becoming more productive and offering a better service.

What governments should do is make sure that markets work. The global app store duopoly with it's uniform 30% revenue cut is an egregious example of a dysfunctional market that allows rent seeking and absuse of power.

App stores should compete based on their own merit. OS platforms should be forced to offer a range of competing app stores with equal visibility. Then we'll see how much customers actually value Apple's app store.

Apparently deep inside you consider your needs to be less important than other people's and equate your, well, survival with approval from others.

An interesting thing about motivation is that if you start looking into it you may realize that you may not need it. First, motivation doesn't do any real work, it only prods you toward doing it. To achieve that it creates an emotional tension between "now" and "then" that is supposed to push you toward the goal. Is this tension really helpful?

Could it push you too hard? Could it instead stiffen you if things do not go according to plan? And what is the drive behind it? Isn't it fear? And doesn't the tension takes extra energy you may otherwise use? The time spent to develop motivation to do something is time spent not doing that something.
It’s not about conservatives. It’s not just “words taken down”. It’s regular good people who lose their job and career. For example, read the story of Professor Steve Hsu: https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/06/16/open-thread-156-25/
