What nonsense. Calling up saying their registration didn’t go through, so they can’t vote. So why not just register them on the phone at that moment? This infuriates me. It’s 2020. Voting should be frictionless and easy and we continue to hear stories like this.

It would take 500 million years to get there, if the signal was strong enough in the first place.
I greatly appreciate you taking the time to find things, it displays a good will and charitable nature that's often lacking in the world. :)

That said, I have done a fair bit of googling and for various reasons, which would be too much of a digression to go into, have found most of those kinds of resources unsatisfying (e.g. the idea that differences are only skin deep is trivially refutable by racists). By possible coincidence I've already looked at most of the resources you linked (e.g. Sapiens and Uncle Tom's Cabin) and the HBDers still make a more convincing case. And I think this is mostly because while the HBDers can easily read the arguments of anti-racists and come up with counters, anti-racists are not even aware of the content of HBDer stuff and so cannot argue against it.

I think the censorship of racist thought (and other outside-Overton-Window thought) has indirectly lead to anti-racist argumentation weakening due to lack of understanding of what their opponents actually think and argue.
Obsidian has a graph view, yes. But Zettlr is a much more stable note taking app than Obsidian. Zettlr is also open source. I would recommend you checkout Zettlr.com if possible. It has great set of tools and is stable unlike Obsidian (beta) which is proprietary.

Currently Zettlr doesn't have graph view, But the PR for a graph view is up and soon will come (power of open source?). If cool with it, I would recommend Open Source Software like Zettlr. :)

I'd been hoping that the recently released USB boot support for Raspberry Pi OS on the Pi4 would mean that Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi would also get USB boot support soon. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it will happen any time soon[1].

Show HN: Server-Side Tracking Without Cookies in Go
Women can go topless in New York. Can a woman post a photograph of herself topless on Parler?
Do you not think that society, after living in the digital age with internet and communication, wouldn't immediately work to fix these things?

I don't know about the 'rediscover lost knowledge of the Romans and Greeks" bit. We aren't clamoring to get the 'sophistication' of the Victorian time period, in part because so many of the ideas aren't valued, and much of the same attitude probably was the same for the 'lost' information. We view the ancients in a romantic way, but... they also didn't have chimneys. Folks through history often didn't have the literacy rates we do.

And no one in history had a really good overview either, honestly. A complete supply overview isn't necessary at a local level: We all know these exist. It won't take long before we communicate easily again and we'll have electricity before long. Once you have these things, lots of other things will fall into place.
Hey Hackers! I built a server-side tracking lib in Go, please let me know what you think.
It always baffled me how people keep demanding "evidence" for the benefits of wearing masks when even a simple observation provides it.

There's plenty of videos of experiments you can conduct yourself (like the the aerosol ones or just people trying to blow out a candle) showing how masks stop spreading the virus.

Also, have a look at you own monitor screen. See all the funny, dirty dots? That's your spit. Does that compute now?
"Code heavy" of course in a relative sense. You can definitely make a snake game with the same aesthetic in less that 158 line, and you won't need to carry along the engine. I would also argue that the plain javascript version will be easier to understand as you will not need to understand what the engine is doing.
There's a setting in preferences - as long as you're logged in, www.reddit.com links will still load the old design.

Logged out though, yeah, I manually replace "www" with "old" whenever I open a link...

Reddit is unavoidable these days since everyone's moved there and there's a lot of good content :/
If your framework has a broad audience, please make sure it accounts for the full complexity of text rendering [1] and editing [2], particularly when it comes to internationalization.

They're not quite comparable, the Hetzner equivalent to that would be the CCX41 plus some extra storage for around $200/month (but you get 11 TB extra transfer). In general I think DigitalOcean VPS's are 1-3x the price of Hetzner ones.

I don't know why Hetzner dedicated servers are so cheap (they're also cheaper than their equivalent VPS's). I guess they take a bit longer to set up but there must be more to it than that.
Does it have the underlying bus to make nvme useful?
So no, let's assume that we don't know, that anything is possible. But let's also inspect the evidence for each fantastical claim with best of our knowledge.

Well, first of all, you don't know that anything is possible. To assert something is possible without actually showing it is possible is meaningless. That doesn't mean we can conclude it isn't possible, just that we don't know if it's possible.

Second, while 'we don't know' is a perfectly acceptable position, it does not lead to,'therefore my pet idea is worthy'.

You are, of course, entirely within your right to explore any idea you'd like, but to claim the scientific community is unfair or defensive to dismiss your idea because it either has no evidence to back it up, or frequently because it has been proposed over and over and has already been picked to death, is intellectually lazy. If you want people to take it seriously, you need to provide evidence. There's too much to study to be able to take every currently baseless idea and run with it.

The employees decided to work for the company knowing the business model in advance.

Yes, they are interdependent but just because I want to make sure that writers of my consumed media get paid doesn't mean I have to agree with how the publication model of monitization.

If I don’t agree with how a company does business, I don’t buy their products. I don’t go into their store and shoplift.

How many paywalls from the around the world would I have to pay for cover the links published in hn/reddit etc?

There are a lot of physical products in the world I see people talk about that I can’t have for free either.

Why not charge a microtransaction per article or even article section read?
Why not use non-tracking ads?

That’s not their business model. Just like I delete any app that doesn’t have the option to disable ads, I can choose not to use a product.
Unless the person believes that old white men literally are not allowed to hold any opinion whatsoever on matters of sexism and that's the most plausible and popular view, then it clearly is both false and a strawman argument, so interpretation doesn't have much to do with it.

There are of course times when modern conversation around this devolve to people saying white men should just shut up, their opinions don't matter, etc. But since there are more defensible, reasonable versions of this (e.g., white men should be more tentative in opinions about discrimination given their relative lack of direct experience of being discriminated against, there are contexts when offering such opinions are inappropriate, etc.), it clearly is a strawman.
There's a lot of speculation here about cultural amnesia, but I think that's partly missing the point - which is the sheer scale of the project.

These structures are absolutely massive. I used to live in the area and it took me a long time to see Durrington Walls, partly because it's hard to imagine an earthwork on that scale. I literally did a double take when I realised that some earth banks were part of this huge construction.

The Walls are a small enclosure inside this much bigger complex, and they still cover an area bigger than Wembley stadium, which can seat up to 90,000 people.

This new ring of shafts - presumably with objects inside them - is slightly smaller than the entire town of Salisbury a few miles to the south. It makes the Old Sarum earthwork, which used to be Salisbury in medieval times, look like a footnote.

For a neolithic culture, it must have taken an absolutely insane amount of planning and physical effort - and this at a time when the total population of the British Isles was less than 200,000 people.
This happened to me after I moved to NJ recently. When I told someone about this at a coffee shop, they said "it's because your last name is Putin" (I'm Russian). :/

Honestly, it's not that hard to implement something like Roam compared to the aforementioned competitors. The value is in the idea, and even that isn't novel. It really is a mystery to me why an open source alternative doesn't exist / isn't more popular.
Isn't it interesting how these sort of exploits exist for probably every hardware/software out there, just that they are never discovered? Since the amount of people with the knowhow for reverse engineering, discovering, and actually building something out of the exploit is so miniscule.
Yeah, ADB came first and NeXT implemented a version of it on their computers.
Yes Apple slowed down phones because the alternative was the phone completely shutting off when the battery was old. The settlement was because Apple didn’t disclose that they added the battery management feature and that the slowdown could be alleviated by buying a new battery instead of buying a new phone.
Just curious, why CloudFlare instead of CloudFront?

Actual discussion of racist thought is pretty off topic, I am more interested in where one could find good anti-race realist resources (and arguing for why attemptibg to censor racist thought can cause the problem of lack of said resources) then trying to rehash hundred thousand word arguments on an extremely complex topic in comments.

That said, it would be rude to ignore the effort you've made, so:

The main actionable things the HBDers I've spoken to want include no longer automatically treating mismatches between demographics in employment, prison, etc as a problem and introducing testing for those coming emmigrating into their country.

Also, there is a weakness in testing, namely that even racialists think things like intelligence are partly non-shared environment, so if you set a lower bar filter from a population with lower average IQ, then while the people you get will meet your threshhold, their children would often not (assuming this supposed genetic difference exists), which is relevant to immigration rules.
I am a man and worked in fastfood during my studies.

I was offered a permanent contract immediatly after my first month, while there were also a lot of women with kids working there who had been on temp contracts for years. Probably because I could work at night; the mothers worked during schooltimes. Any time someone got pregnant, their contract was not renewed.

In this situation I had an advantage because of my gender. This was not because the business itself was specifically sexist, in fact almost all of management were women. Instead, the systems in place made it so that financially smart decisions negatively impacted women.
I think the idea is generally that you do not go searching in your 8000 file folder by hand.
I tried this with VSCodium, but it doesn't work. The recommended extensions are not in open-vsx marketplace. I installed the foam extension from the VSIX file, and it asks to reload VSCodium but I don't see it in my installed extensions after.

I would love to help to get it working for VSCodium if it doesn't depend on anything VSCode specific.
I hope we do a serious review of the cdc when this is all over. For all the money we give them, they totally failed to "control" the outbreak. It feels like it's devolved into an academic institution and we have enough of those.
It's kinda flawed in that it produces terrain with prominent creases along the x/y axis. Most terrain generators use something with less artifacts, like several passes of perlin noise.
I imagine that chickens had to adapt to the cold much much much faster than humans had to.
Sounds like a textbook example of where and how a side channel attack would look like.
Additionally, because it is hosted in Germany, you need to send them a copy of your ID and I found that their support was quite amateurish. So for me the process was:
Go to hetzner.de, create an account, it gets instantly closed because you have a UK driving licence but were born elsewhere (perhaps too complicated for them?).

Never had that from AWS or OVH.
The principle was merely that people who are not directly affected by X can particularly benefit from listening to people directly affected by X. It was even a supererogatory framing of the recommendation. But enjoy your high horse!
I wasn't particular enough. I pay around 80USD/month for a 4G/2CPU/3node k8s cluster where I'm able to host Mastodon, Synapse, Riot-web and Elasticsearch. Included in the price is a persistent volume of 20G and object storage for media.

The media storage is dirt cheap but it grows with the instance and users. One major issue some instance admins have is a lot of users uploading a lot of data.

My instance is very small and also blocked registrations to EU.

I expect to have enough capacity left over in my existing cluster to also host lemmy.
Great point, and I think this is a next step for me. For what it's worth, this was to teach myself React and Redux and took a couple of nights of work. I was curious about ways to keep the canvas element fundamentally decoupled from the algorithm itself, which allows a couple of benefits out of the box. For example, varying the randomness or changing the color map mid-calculation, I kind of got 'for free', thanks to React re-rendering the canvas every time the algorithm is stepped through or the controls are changed.

It's also worth noting that the algorithm's speed here is tied to (I believe?) your monitor's refresh rate, since it's using requestAnimationFrame to loop without blocking the main thread entirely. I'd briefly considered a "complete" button which would run the whole thing in one go and render once, and that would enable reviewing for performance optimisation without hanging the page. But... I got too excited and wanted to share it first.
I like to compare the fediverse with the forums, TeamSpeak server, and nowaday discord server. It is not suppose to be a huge service with everybody on it a la Facebook, but rather a lot of small community that can interconnect to each other :) .

Everybody use to run a PhpBB or alternative for their own community. I remember being part of multiple of them in the early 2010. A lot of them got replaced by subreddit or facebook page, and this is what the fediverse can replace. Not the whole of reddit or Facebook, but if you want a place for you and your friends to organize your dnd party, run your minecraft server, talk about passion X or Y, the fediverse can do that :) .
You said you basically use Shopify as CDN, what’s stopping everyone from just setting it up and abuse it?
Dropbox is a dumb solution to note syncing. It works for me for now but I miss not having to sort conflicts manually.
Wow, that's really nuts.

Believe – Mr. Craig
you know, this blog post is the sort of response and thinking I was looking for - it's the reaction I'm striving to have.

Thank you very much for writing it.

The review isn't a review of me; it's just reviews of code I've submitted.
Removing this episode raises some good questions about what people are allowed to talk about.

In my estimation having someone play “a dark elf” isn’t the same as blackface. Within acting blackface would be using a non black actor with exaggerated makeup to portray a cartoon version of their interpretation of a black person or culture.

On the other hand I find it ironic that it’s among the most liberal of industries where the issue is most visible.

It reminds me that episode of the original Star Trek where a race of aliens is of human appearance but half their bodies are black and the other half white. It’s a commentary on race, is that blackface?
Configuring Appsync for a scoped IAM policy for schema introspection and a query
Once upon a time, C and scheme were trendy languages.

Since then C has spawned many algol derivatives and the likes of Ruby and Python drew heavy inspiration from Scheme.

I'm not sure when we'll be done or what constitutes "done" but a little churn feels reasonable as a side cost to finding innovation.
Clearly it was the CDC at fault here, not a few hand picked bureaucrats, not the chain of command, not a president with a penchant for firing people who challenge his authority.

What a poorly concocted article. The least the author could do so remind people of the “starve the beast” approach to public utilities that the Republicans have been pursuing for decades.

Nope, we’ll just throw the entire CDC under a bus.

I agree but there's no great cross-platform syncing solution yet, to my knowledge. Dropbox dropped all linux support except ext4, which is limiting. GDrive and OneDrive don't have a Linux Client. Nextcloud is neat, but still not very well supported (eg, by android apps).

The result is I'm using a mishmash of all those, and keep forgetting what is synced where.
Why are you so confident Google Translate is not monetized?

"We collect information to provide better services to all our users — from figuring out basic stuff like which language you speak, to more complex things like which ads you’ll find most useful, the people who matter most to you online, or which YouTube videos you might like..."
Yes. In theory ads could be a good thing, in practice they are obnoxious and only advertise bad products (perhaps because we have stopped inventing new good things, or perhaps because they don't need advertising).

I tend to use a javascript block as well, because I can't stand websites that are slow or take a up a lot of computer resources. Those do kill some of the ads but not all.

I don't really do it for privacy reasons, I use Temporary Containers in Firefox for that.
I wonder how far the Chickenosaurus project is coming along.
When your boss gives you insane directions and ignores any advice you give that they don't like, what do you expect?
Over the past few years a series of American agencies have lost their reputation and world standing. The FAA with the 737 max, the CDC with the test, the FDA with testing regulation and hydroxychloroquine. Its important to have institutions that work, but we've spent years deliberately gutting them and undervaluing them. All that money spent on the military and homeland security, and in the end we were caught utterly unprepared for the greatest national security threat of the past few decades. Even though we have more aircraft carriers than makes sense to have, we'd rather build another one than invest in crucial infrastructure such as strong regulatory agencies and science infrastructure. And we get to pay the price of those misplaced priorities as we barrel towards 200,000 dead. Hopefully this serves as a sort of wakeup call.
I use Linode, but it was $10 or more, while I've just seen there's also a $5 VPS called "Nanode". I added it to the list and I will test it more in the future. Thank you!
You have a beautifully designed site, thanks for the write up
Hello, author here.

Like I mentioned in the post, there is no way to programmatically upload anything to the Shopify CDN and the CDN cache cannot be invalidated once you upload a file. If you want to update an existing resource, all you can do really is upload a new one.

This ofcourse still does not completely prevent people from abusing it, but it does restrict usage to a large extent. There is also the issue of giving out a cdn.shopify.com link to your customers instead of something that has you company branding on it. This is not a problem for us because our customers do not have to manually add this snippet to their website and we do it via an API instead, so this link is not apparent to our customers
Agreed. Given the history of one of the US political parties toward voter suppression, I tend to assume malice rather than incompetence in these cases.

You missed the "streaming" part.

Being able to allocate only a few KB to ingest any JSON is a killer feature.

There is a valid reason to reinvent the wheel : in my case I had to do something similar in C99 for a SaaS federated search engine to have the lowest memory footprint possible.
You can get USB adapters for a few bucks that are already bootable with this solution, so I’d glue that to the USB 3 bus and be done with it. Should be fine until they change SoCs.
