just stumbled over this pdf referenced in Narconomics, a book recently recommended in one of the threads on HN[1], and the pdf is full of goodies like this one from the book:

> The deal had been agreed, the drugs were ready for collection, and the funds had been rustled up. All that was needed was for the exchange to go ahead. The leader of the operation, a high-level dealer who specialized in importing cannabis and cocaine from mainland Europe to the United Kingdom, got the cash ready:

a fat bundle of £300,000 in used banknotes, equivalent to nearly half a million dollars. The notes were counted and handed over to the driver, whose job it was to travel to Belgium, meet the contact, and hand over the cash. That was when things started to go wrong. That amount of money in crisp banknotes is quite a thing to behold. So the driver decided to deal it out—spread it around and see
how it looked. It was such an impressive sight that he couldn’t keep it to himself, so he invited his girlfriend over to show it oﬀ. Later, speaking to researchers from the Home Oﬃce (Britain’s security ministry) in his jail cell, the boss of the operation wearily explains how the plan unraveled. “The divvy decides it would be nice to lay the money on his bed, make mad passionate love to his seventeen-year-old girlfriend and photograph it.” Taking intimate selﬁes with the loot was probably unwise. But it gets worse: as well as having a girlfriend, the driver also had a jealous wife. The following Saturday night, before the trip to Belgium, husband and wife were out on the town when they ran into the girlfriend, who was drunk. An argument erupted during which she decided to show the X-rated photos to the driver’s wife, who was not exactly pleased. The wife decided to teach her cheating husband a lesson. Still enraged, she called the UK border police to tip them oﬀ about the upcoming drug run. The unwitting driver set oﬀ to Belgium with the £300,000 and was promptly stopped by customs oﬃcials at the port of Dover, before he had even left the country. Questioned by border agents about his big
stash of cash, he cracked. “The numpty goes into meltdown,” his boss sighs. The operation was blown, and the deal was oﬀ. To add insult to injury, the jealous wife—who herself had a £2,500 ($4,000)-a-week cocaine habit—came back to the boss a few months later, asking if her husband could have his job back.

It makes sense. I like to use datum as singular of data(or a piece of data), although I know data is also correct. So if anything it would be virus-vira, and not virus-viri, so coronavirus-coronavira. When I was in high school I remember visiting sites with tutorials and info on hacking and they had H/P/C/V/A (Hacking/Phreaking/Cracking/Virii/Anarchy) so it was using Virii as plural of virus (computer virus), so that stuck in my mind.

Oof, indeed! Thank you for the correction.

Lots of things broken with public response unfortunately.
I'd go with something more radical: a 2x5 meters max box, 100 kg of gas for the 300 km race, 600 kg minimum weight, 50 million budget maybe including the drivers (there is a very long line of them) and maybe a max downforce test if it can be made hard to cheat. Then let the teams do whatever they want.

Somebody will optimize for the engine, somebody for the aerodynamics, somebody for the suspensions, somebody for the tires (buy them from whoever they want) etc. I guess very few will spend much on the driver.

At the beginning they'll be slower than the current cars (which are only marginally faster than the v10s of 2004) but year after year they'll improve new areas of the design and get fast again. I expect a lot of technical drama and very different solutions. It's going to be back to the 70x and 80s with today's technology and processes.
> this whole discussion is about am radio specifically

I don't know what alternate reality thread you're in.

The article is about switching-off analog radio, not specifically AM.

Then you said 'people don't buy standalone radio receivers' which I mean is just verifiable nonsense - go to any supermarket, electronics store, department store, and there's a huge range for different budgets, tastes, ages. Many of them cost hundreds of pounds.

You might be bringing a more American perspective to this. Note it's a British article and issue. In the UK, very high-quality 'talk radio' is much more part of mainstream daily family life for all kinds of people and it's pretty normal to for example have a kitchen radio to have on during breakfast. Also note that 'talk radio' here is more often an FM thing, not an AM thing.

About a quarter of the population listens to the top 'talk radio' station here.
People have been calling her JKR for years.

> They were misrepresented in their views

Rowling was not misrepresented. She really said those things.

> then coerced into getting some kind of apology

She hasn't apologised. She's made no concessions. She's repeated what she said.

> harm caused by cancel culture by pointing out the fact that someone survived it

No, I'm pointing out that she was never at any risk at all from being cancelled.

You keep talking about how dangerous cancel culture is, and how people keep being attacked. But you're entirely one-sided in your "analysis". You've failed to account for JKR's 14 million followers that she uses to harass people. You never mention the people driven off platforms by the people you're defending. You cherry pick examples to try to get sympathetic victims, but when you do that you're unable to find anyone who actually got cancelled, and you provide examples of people who are at zero risk of cancellation and who keep saying whatever they want.
AFAIK, every other method requires massive electricity input; and we’re still not getting enough energy from renewables for that not to mean spewing more additional carbon than we sequester for each unit sequestered.

(Of course, trees also require massive energy input. The difference is that we don’t have to supply that energy.)
He managed to extort his way into the national press - but I don't see why he should continue to be rewarded for his crimes. These ideas might be worth exploring further but there's no need to explore his version of them.

Considering everything fair game regardless of it's origins or consequences feels extremely capitalist to me (well probably libertarian - but I don't feel like capitalist is a particularly well defined ideology).

You know I've had times in my life where I've had this issue as well. I personally think our inability to turn off the deluge of pixels is a real problem. But I want data to back up the thought. In 2017 Youtube users watched a billion hours of video a day. [1] Some rough numbers show that in 2018 Facebook users spent about a billion hours on facebook every day [2].

Multiply these numbers across reddit, tiktok, the various international social media giants. Are the >2 billion hours a day people spend glued to their screen limiting social progress? Is it fear mongering and ignorant to even ask? One thing I know for certain is there will be a growing group of people seeking help to limit their watch time on these services. The algorithms are simply too addictive.

I've never seen the word prolific being used as a demeaning adjective; the term derives from latin "proles" and "facere", as in creating children, in other words being productive. It's completely neutral wrt quality.

Also, I think nobody would use it as their company name if that word was even remotely related to low quality:)

If you're a web dev, then <canvas> may be the obvious option to get started! There's a fairly large creative coding community.

The Coding Train on youtube has a ton of content [0]. If you really want to start from the beginning then I would also recommend Coding Math on YouTube [1], which is sort of graphics from first principles using JS/canvas. That even starts with teaching trigonometry, vectors, etc. So if your math is rusty it's a good place to start

There are some entities that can sign certificates that don't conform to the standard the browser makers have agreed on. Those entities are about to have their signing rights revoked. Anything they signed will be invalidated, because there's no way to tell if the signature is legit or impersonated. If some sites are using certificates signed by those entities, they're going to have a bad time, and so will you as an end user of those sites. I'm not an expert in this, but this is the impact as far as I understand it. If I'm wrong and someone knows better, please correct me.

Even smaller works like made-for-TV The Scarlet and the Black were iconic, IMO. One of the few composers who make it so you can recall a movie just by a few notes or one instrument in a song.
That's a great list of non-issues.

The question being avoided is: how does the ergonomics of DOM and network access fit on both?

From the examples, it's mostly similar.
PS: and one more thing: retaining starts with hiring. If your hiring process strongly selects against those boring people who might actually stay longer than two years, then nothing will stop the perpetual churn except changing the way you hire.

Hey! Thanks for asking. As we are in early-stage we are reaching out to experts directly and we are not expecting them to come to us directly through our website. Using this we do have many professionals from top firms.

As we continue further we will change the website and list down the benefits mentor will get in our platform. We added that link just to make sure if by any luck a mentor lands on our page he/she can contact us. It is mainly for users.

Do let me know what you think now :)
I guess there need to be one somewhere unless you do hardware interrupts.

It seems to have an event loop though:

void app::run()
{
MSG messages;
while (_running && GetMessage(&messages, nullptr, 0, 0) > 0)
{
TranslateMessage(&messages);
DispatchMessage(&messages);
}
}
Although selection bias tells you that they are the ones who got caught, so maybe they are not the best ones to learn from.

That is also a plot-point in ASSRIB.

You can load local extensions from about:debugging. They just won't be permanently installed. (Developer edition may be different.) And Chrome's local loading comes with a disable modal at every startup. So I'm curious what browser you consider worthy.

Edit: forgot to mention you can install from 3p sources as I've done from my own site in the past. They just need to be signed by Mozilla first.
I really enjoyed the artistic part. I wonder if the author was trying to evoke a Martian atmosphere with the color choices. The contrast of the spheres with the columns was very nice as well...the perfect, beautiful spheres ascending into the sky...

Functional programming constructs helps you write simple code faster, and clarify the algorithm.

It is easier to rearrange, to test and to reason about, but it is harder to read.

Once your fast-written code works, you obviously need to optimize it where it's needed. And if you map/filter/reduce is your bottleneck, just get rid of it obviously.

But I highly doubt it will be your bottleneck.

Nested anonymous function that rely on scope closure is THE way to truly encapsulate your data, example: https://pastebin.com/JrAP6yGP

> zero marginal costs creates winner(s) take all

Tech is still young, and we shall see. Google made around $16 billion dollars in 2014. That means an economic rationalist is willing to pay everyone on earth something in the order of $2 dollars to use their service rather than Google's.

It isn't too late to discover that the equilibrium position is we get paid to use certain search engines or social networks. That'd drive the marginal cost up.
>Why would they do that?

That is what the manifesto calls for. That is the inevitable result of abandoning technology and going back to villages of 50 people.
And you failed to mention the small detail that what you linked to happened in 18th century, not post WWII, or anywhere close to 20th century. Not even led by the same ethnicity — Qing rulers were Manchus. Do we really need to bring up colonialist genocides?
If you force restaurants to optimize everything for timing, you'll end up delivering food on par with McDonalds.

And if it turns out customers are willing to pay restaurant prices for McDonalds quality delivery, then McDonalds themselves will start a delivery service to compete with you.
I often offer "suggestion" on peoples faces. Some are not too happy about it.

But seriously, I think this isn't as much a problem if the user is made aware of the fact, which I would dispute being the case.

Clipboards might contain sensitive info, so that would disqualify any of those apps and consequently the phone in a corporate context and in a context of, frankly speaking, saner people.
The Lightest WordPress Theme I’ve Ever Worked With – It’s Free Too
There was a certain level of optimization, though arguably the graphic stack was much more complex than GDI, so yes, Windows 9x with GDI accelerator would have more performant interface for basic work.

Xsgi included some interesting optimizations, starting with how it was a compositing X server and a feature that is known to break GTK3 all the time - Xsgi would provide a low color visual as the first choice, and this was reflected in the provided Motif and other libraries and exploited by software developed for Irix - the latter mostly because you could not depend on the end user having a 24bit display, though.

This means that the bandwidth requirements across all stages of drawing was reduced for common UI components, instead of slinging around high resolution 32bit RGBA bitmaps for everything as is the norm today on Linux. I haven't checked, but I strongly suspect that the more ascetic UI controls combined with classic X11 drawing calls also resulted in higher speed vs. slinging lots and lots of bitmaps with overdraw using XRender.

For more on that, consider checking the literature written about avoiding overdraw on Android and how much of an impact it had on latency of user interface. iOS, btw, actually did a lot of dirty tricks to essentially prevent developers from doing any overdraw without explicitly going for it, and supposedly a strong part of early review process was checking for overdraw - because the actual iPhone hw was not that powerful and they ran close to the bandwidth budget per frame.
Absolutely. I guess I was trying to say (not very clearly) that ScmUtils was the only other example I know of that "ran with it." Though SICM is relatively well known at this point, I suspect ScmUtils is not very widely used.

I have occasionally (and very recreationally) raced on track days. I do not know kart racing well, but even in a relatively slow (15 year old BMW) car, it's incredibly scary to race towards a brick wall at ~180 km/h and only brake at the last moment.

So I think that 10% is a lot of skill and dedication, but also a sort of numbing to that fear.
I think you're confusing my arguments with my personal belief on whether or not murder is acceptable. I'll just say fullstop it's not.

Now, as to your current argument that these organizations have been more successful than Ted ever could have been. I want to believe they have been, yet reality does not reflect this.

At best they have only slowed the destruction of the environment. At worst they enable a technological society to carry on with their destruction with a clear conscience. If you look at the world today and in 10 years will these organizations have ceded ground or will the machine continue on?

That is, do these organizations make further environmental destruction net 0 (or in a good case reverse said damage?). I would say no. Even from Ted's time to today the environment is worse and shrinking day by day.

The reason Ted felt that "violent rebellion" was necessary is because these organizations can't possibly stop the inevitable results of what technological society does. They're only a stymie, a stopgap, not a long term solution.

The more INTERESTING argument is, is technological society acceptable?

Limiting on testing is just taking away the unique Ferrari advantage. Previously they just took their design out on their private racetrack next to the lab. Now they have to test as all the others: virtually in computer simulations. And for a short time on the track.

It's much more interesting to do the simulations virtually. Some even do the windtunnel testing now virtually. But only the richest.
To add to this train of thought - the phrase 'cancel culture' has become politicised, hence the perceived split. I agree that were seeing a wave of puritanism and witch-hunt behaviour online, but that much of it is springing from admirable causes like climate change and minority rights. I think the risk of using the phrase is to discount the cause.
So that brings up a sticking point in creating a utopic online space, language itself means different things to different people. It's worth thinking about in your project - how do you use a light touch but prevent people from filling the space with newspeak or in-group language?
What settings would you recommend to change?
Reminds me of a Yogi Berra quote:

Honestly, this is a very patronising view. I understand that a lot of people here are strong permanent WFH advocates, but it doesn't fit everyone.

My home setup is pretty good and I'll still be first in line for getting back to the office for a variety of reasons - and there's many others like me.

If you think that means I'm less "tech literate" and not as "open to change" then that's your perogative.

If you listen to what these militant Islamists say in Arabic (as translated by reliable third-parties such as MEMRI) you get a very different picture.
