Simple != easy. It's much more difficult and more time-consuming to identify the simple solution than to implement the easy solution.

I think that a diverse selection of libraries and tools exploring new problem spaces is good - but once the problem space is understood, we should replace them with something closer to the fundamental truth of the problem.
If this sort of narrative-media-centered analysis of society appeals to you, you'd probably enjoy Slavoj Zizek. His documentary The Pervert's Guide to Ideology is quite enjoyable. I honestly wondered whether this was a Zizek piece at parts.
> I'd say there is a fair few beginner Linux users who have followed a tutorial on OMGUbuntu or stackexchange who know of VI but will never hear of emacs.

Ok.

But of those people who stick with vi for more than 6 months, how many of them have yet to hear of emacs at that point? Maybe 5%?
> Describing it as anti-racist is some kind of Orwellian doublethink

Sort of like anti-fascism....

Per Wikitionary [1]:
Any system of strong autocracy or oligarchy usually to the extent of bending and breaking the law, race-baiting, and/or violence against largely unarmed populations.

The " to the extent of bending and breaking the law, race-baiting, and/or violence against largely unarmed populations." perfectly describes Antifa's behavior during the recent protests turned riots.

If you're at a startup early enough to have an overly inflated title and can't tolerate the risk of getting fired (career, etc.) then you should not be at a startup, period. Startups are risky, they run out of funding, they lay people off, markets shift, competitors beat them, etc, etc. Getting fired for not scaling is probably the least likely way for you to lose your job.
Before TransferWise became widely available, and would have mitigated this, I needed to get a birth record from the civil registry (Standesamt) in Kaiserslautern, Germany. I had the option of using wire transfer, for a $35 international wire fee from my credit union.

Alternatively, I suppose owing to K-town's long association with the US military, I could mail them a USPS money order. Not an "international money order," a regular USPS "Postal Money Order" denominated in US dollars. For $1.25, it was no contest.

Hasn't that been done? Efforts like Amazon's Ion come to mind, or Google's Protocol Buffers & FlatBuffers.

http://amzn.github.io/ion-docs/

https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers

https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/

ProtoBuf requires a schema for the document to be known ahead of time and involves deserialization; Ion is more like JSON in that it's self-describing, but has a rich set of data types as well as annotations on fields to further describe meaning. FlatBuffers requires a schema and provides access to the without parsing/unpacking.

On the other hand, if you're building a service and specifying its interface, rather than just specifying a data format, then there are tools like Smithy, gRPC, and Thrift.

So concentrating on science to "fix" climate change is less important than a new particle collider? What good will a particle collider do if the human race has radically changed the climate in the next 50 years? That's her point and it's very relevant.
Isn't that another strawman? You're gonna find clauses like that in every legal agreement on earth, the relevant points here are what they commit to and how they act and have acted historically.

You can of course not trust them and keep your data away, it's your choice; but there is no question they are the most privacy respecting of the bunch - because, as the OP said, they are a hardware and services company and staying that way is a competitive advantage.

Yes, maybe it was not clear but that was what I wanted to say:
It should be the job of the website to decide the expiration date for it's certificate. So they decide if they want to look shady, careless and use 10 years certs or look like trustable and serious and use 6 months.
And indeed users would be able to use that to determine the trust they give to a website.

So in the end, websites determine their 'trust value' without the browsers 'police', that will let the possibility for special cases.

For example, if I do a device that is to be used out of internet for 3 years, logically the user will not see an issue with a 5 years certificate.
> For other coffee shops, why don't you just get a smaller Americano? it's just espresso shots + hot water, so a smaller Americano will be less diluted but the same amount of caffeine and better flavour. (amount of espresso varies from shop to shop, but you can just ask for another shot or two)

You probably know this already but Starbucks lets you get extra shot americano for Venti. So you have the option of getting more quantity AND still not get diluted. You don't get that from other cafes because they don't even provide large cups to begin with.

> only the blonde espresso & coffee are palatable. It's of course subjective, but the rest of their coffee is usually gross.

Yeah I am not saying Starbucks makes the best coffee in the world for every category, I'm just saying at least for Americano (which is basically just Espresso + water) it's actually on my top ranking, I know a lot of hipsters will throw stones at me for this but I personally find Starbucks americano much better than the hyped up blue bottle coffee.
Haha, I actually had the exact same flow. Guess I'll have to keep the dual-booted Windows for a little while longer.
There are plenty of self-absorbed and self-congratulatory people who do nothing. I'm inclined to give artists a free pass. Authenticity is so endangered these days. After all, you can just ignore them, which is in fact a terrible punishment for an artist.
I wonder why I haven't heard about the efforts to design gene editing tools from scratch using protein design. So they will not "steal" some poor bacteria IP, but will build a customized tool based on the requirements. Hard problem? Absolutely. But it will pay out in the long-term, also will allow to improve these proteins over time.
I think the whole point is that politicians were already bold-faced lying, and everyone knew it, and politicians knew everyone knew it (see the quoted definition of a hack in the article). But we all played the game. See Hypernormalization by Adam Curtis.
> so far every higher energy level has resulted in more insight

There were theoretical reasons to expect new results with previous colliders. I don't know that any similar reasons have been named here.

> There is no evidence at this point in time that we know all there is to be known at the next level energetic collisions. The whole idea that we are at the end of the line for particle accelerators smacks of huge hubris: we know all there is to be known.

This is a massive strawman argument to use, especially against someone like Dr. Hossenfelder who is a working physicist.
Nothing like a bit of vim vs emacs. Though I do get sick of vim winning every time ;)

TIL that's where the word for byte ordering came from.
What started out as a desire to get Invisalign turned into a much deeper journey into understanding the relationship between occlusion, TMJ, posture, sleep apnea and more.

I'm now almost 18 months into treatment with an LVI dentist in San Jose. I don't personally have bruxism, but it's very much in the family of issues.

My HN/lay explanation: the jaw seeks an equilibrium position that maximizes occlusion and minimizes muscular tension. However, many people live in a local equilibrium where occlusion is maximized but the jaw positioning comes with increased muscular tension. This tension can lead to symptoms like bruxism, migraines, etc.

They have a machine called the BioPAK which can track the 3D path of your bite and measure the tension in the different facial muscles to determine if you are actually in the globally optimal position.
On Windows the executable will most likely only have access to 2 GB of memory.

The Windows PE header contains the LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag which controls the memory available to the executable.

When that flag is off (i.e. the Microsoft recommended default value) the executable only has access to 2 GB of memory.

To access more memory that LARGEADDRESSAWARE PE flag set to on:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/largead...

But in any case, you would think 2 GB is more than enough RAM for most text handling scenarios.

No word on film industry (Bollywood et al)? They have been hugely complicit with casting heavily favored towards lighter skinned actresses and a lot of established stars endorsing skin whitening products. They are nowhere to be seen taking a stance on this issue.
> The developing nations are already suffering greatly. That’s why the recent conflict between india and China has occurred. Watch #boycottchina happening in other countries besides India.

What are you saying here ? India-China conflict occurred due to the impact of low-priced oil ? This is a silly thing to say. India, China, Japan etc. benefit vastly from this price movement. India is infact now supplementing for lost tax revenue (by its stupid overreactive policies) by increasing petrol prices.

The only ones who lose are countries like Russia and those in the Middle East that rely hugely on oil/gas, and perhaps the US, partly due to the Shale oil bankruptcies, but I imagine, vastly more, due to the weakening of the petro-dollar, esp. in a time of unhinged money-printing.
You only have to wait three days for it to settle if you want to use those funds to buy a different stock.
You can see in the linked code that it just calls `const parsed = readJsonSync(fileName)`, which likely returns an untyped struct. So this purely does parsing into an anonymous structure, and not validation and mapping into something strongly typed
Basically yes. Godot’s main userbase (hobbyists/small indie developers) aligns more with Unity than Unreal. Although Unreal has also appealed to some indie devs recently, it is still a heavy, bulky, monstrous beast of an engine that appeals more to AAA gamedevs and high-profile indiedevs.

I personally think that having 3 tier policy is reasonable. Anonymous - anything can be removed. If you attach your name to it - internet companies should still be able to remove really bad content, as in the end they’re private business. But for highly ranked elected politicians, especially president, bar for removal should be really really really high.

But at the same time, adding context and flagging demonstrably false statements is no brainier that companies are falling behind on

My impression is that it's not at all that consistent. The total spending is constant at a few billion per year, but what that gets spent on depends entirely on the taste of the program managers, which in turn depends on the darpa director. The program managers only serve for a few years at a time, and the director for a bit longer, so it can change drastically. I think the trends are typically last a decade: in the 1980s after the success with the F-117, they were funding all kinds of airplane projects. Also in the 1980s they funded a lot of AI research, until they suddently didn't (the "AI winter"). In the 1990s, they were into networked combat simulators and command & control systems.

Starting around 2010, DARPA suddenly began to fund a lot of computer science research on formal verification. I was a phd student at the time, and it was pretty striking, programming language theory used to be a really fringe subject, and now suddenly it was awash in cash and all the professors could hire huge herds of postdocs. But some of those professors also told me that I should not expect it to last: sooner or later there will be new people in DARPA and all the money will instantly stop.

Just use the git commands in VS Code and you can't go wrong.

Before VS Code when I was on Windows, I used TortoiseGit.

Seriously, I haven't had to use the Git CLI to do anything other than `git init` for like over a decade that I've been using Git.
> The faction that did win does in fact talk about race and now Taibbi is out in the cold. But it's alright, this isn't the French Resolution, no one is coming for his head. He's just gonna have to take a back seat and wield less power. He'll be fine.

If the dynamic you're describing is correct (not saying it is) then this conclusion is wrong. When insecure people gain power they try to disenfranchise their enemies. But they have no real power over the far-enemies. Some conservative in a conservative stronghold with conservative employees and customers can't get canceled because nobody who could cancel them is inclined to do it.

The people who get their heads chopped off (or get fired or harassed etc.) are the near-enemies, who are the easiest to sacrifice when the new regime wants to prove it can put heads on spikes, because they're at the same time close enough to be vulnerable but far enough to be targets.

It's funny how industries whose entire basis lies in the racialized colonization of the global south become reconstituted in a way that maintains their existence, but further obscures their origin. Perhaps true justice would mean the complete abolition of this industry (and the economic/political structures that brought it about). But instead we now force it to put on more and more masks to justify its continued existence, and in so doing, make the system harder to understand. In my mind this is how liberalism, i.e. the attempt at making capitalism more progressive, can be a double-edged sword.

Past the rebranding, the system is fundamentally the same. We still live under racial capitalism (in which, as many a Marxist have noted, uneven development is a feature, not a bug), and the underlying conditions that cause people to go buy skin lightening creams remain unchanged.
I do not like this example. Advocating to change the laws in favor pedophilia or child marriage is absolutely within the realm of what should be protected by free speech. We've made progress on topics like homosexuality because ideas that are sometimes highly offensive are allowed to be debated in public.

Certainly I'd agree that use of child pornography within a political campaign should be banned, or use of any material that was created by illegally harming other humans or animals, but that is different entirely from campaigning in favor of something highly controversial.
If you write your code properly, you will have tests which break on every library incompatibility, and a tiny wrapper around your libraries. (If you do TDD properly, you will have it.)

In general, I'm not sure it's possible for all of these things to be true.

Many libraries are useful because of their side effects. Depending on what those side effects are, it may simply not be possible to integration test your entire system in a way that would satisfy all of the above claims.

The alternatives tend to involve replacing the parts of the code that cause real side effects with some sort of simulation. However, you're then no longer fully testing the real code that will be doing the job in production. If anything about your simulation is inaccurate, your tests may just give you a false sense of confidence.

All of this assumes you can sensibly write unit tests for whatever the library does anyway. This also is far from guaranteed. For example, what if the purpose of the library is to perform some complicated calculation, and you do not know in advance how to construct a reasonably representative set of inputs to use in a test suite or what the corresponding correct outputs would be?

FWIW you can set up sync to phone pretty easily, Orgzly is a org-mode client for Mobile working surprisingly well, supporting dropbox and many other backends for sync, plus both Emacs and Orgzly support pasting images.

Peer-review has its problems but I don't think the solution is 'we need more people carelessly injecting themselves and others with things with unknown effects'. I think the covid crisis aptly showed that the 'plucky outsider that defies a reactionary authority' archetype doesn't actually exist in real life. And biohacking itself is largely a grift.
> There was no file open dialog. You just double clicked a file to open it, or dragged it to the app that you wanted to open it with if you wanted to open in not the default. To save you would be presented with an icon which you could change the name of, and then drag to a finder window. No duplication of the folder system structure in a finder and in every app that handles files.

Postage rate increases are capped to inflation, though. So they don't really appreciate.

But it wouldn't ever lose value and could inject some cash into the USPS.
Part of the colorism bias is also technical. It is much harder to light and color correct a darker skinned model or actor for a screen or print, leading the industry to prefer lighter skin tones.

Similar bias exists with height in film. A short actor like Tom Cruise can fill an aspect ratio for film better than an awkward 6 foot something actor, and it is easy to make a short actor taller with an apple crate for certain shots, but the reverse isn’t quite so.
If you mention HT editor, you also have to mention Hiew. HT is sort of a clone of Hiew.
A girlfriend of mine went to the Philippines for three months for something school related (her family was originally from there). At the completion of the classes, they took graduation photos for each student. When she received the photos, they had transformed her appearance by intentionally lightening her skin tone (dramatically so) in the photos to make her look more white (her skin tone is such that she naturally looks like she always has a dark brown tan). They didn't ask her before they did that, they just assumed it would be desirable. She then informed me of the incredible popularity of whitening in some Asian nations (she said that in the Philippines being whiter might indicate you don't work outside as a farmer or laborer, implying higher social status).
> The ingredients for delirium are pervasive during the pandemic. They include long stints on ventilators, heavy sedatives and poor sleep.

> To allow the ventilator to completely breathe for him, doctors had him chemically paralyzed, which required heavier sedatives to prevent the trauma of being conscious while unable to move. So Mr. Temko’s sedation was switched to midazolam, a benzodiazepine, and fentanyl, an opioid — drugs that exacerbate delirium.

> The repeated nursing visits Mr. Temko needed interrupted his sleep-wake cycle, so he’d often take daytime naps and become sleepless and agitated at night, said Jason Bloomer, an I.C.U. nurse.

Sounds like a perfect storm for delirium. I've had several stints in the hospital and the ones in the ICU and tele-wing were the worst. The opiates combined with the constant interruptions in the middle of the night meant that I got terrible sleep but also was constantly drowsy so I felt like I was in a persistent zombie state. When I was able to sleep it would be this half-awake/half-asleep state and I would talk out loud. I really sympathize with these people. Being hospitalized sucks (but yes, obviously I'd rather be hospitalized than die).
