I'm going to be gone (read: no meaningful internet access) for about two years.

I'm working on setting up a webserver such that it will:

A) Stay up

B) Stay up to date

C) Stay uncompromised

For the entire time I am gone with no interaction.

Or rather, that's what I want to be working on. Instead, I'm working on making myself not be a lazy [blank].

I applaud the OP for experimenting with new ideas in this space, as every idea is worth trying. And honestly given how bad this space is, I actually wonder if the only bad ideas are the ones we've already tried. Still, the cynic in me is unconvinced that Twitter could ever be a jumping-off point for valuable debate, no matter how brilliant the landing pad might be.

As the operator and lead moderator of a large community it's been my observation that there are three things which most reliably derail challenging conversations:

1. The assumption that words are reliable. It's almost impossible to converse on contentious topics without using words and idioms that become corrupted in transmission because Avery speaks "Avery's English" and Quinn speaks "Quinn's English"—two languages which appear identical on the surface, and seem identical when interrogated but are actually slightly different in the most perniciously subtle of ways. This makes it impossible for Avery to know how to craft sentences which are received as intended. Or even to recognise that corruption occurred; we tend to interpret these corruptions as part of the disagreement, not part of a language barrier.

2. The tendency of people to so identify with their ideas, that criticisms of ideas automatically translate into criticisms of them as a person. This can be mitigated in part with the use of careful, defensive qualifiers, but ultimately this requires acts of consciousness-raising and a deep well of good faith by all parties. I'm not optimistic that deep wells of good faith can be constructed for impersonal, online debates with your ideological opposites.

3. The unwillingness of people to accept retractions of prior statements. All too often I see debate fall apart because Quinn says something inartful and Avery jumps on a misunderstanding of it. This almost always ends one of two ways: either (a) Quinn doubles down out of a tendency to never admit fault, or (b) Quinn attempts to clarify or retract the original statement, but Avery dismisses the clarification/retraction and pursue the original phrasing as "revealing what Quinn really thinks."

If I were forced to invent a debate platform, my first experiment would be to require all formal responses be preceded by an interposed round of validation: a mandatory restating of the argument you're about to respond to using different words. Not until your interlocutor is satisfied with your restatement would you be able to post an actual response with counter-arguments. And rather than having spectators vote on arguments, they would vote/comment exclusively on the quality of (and goodwill shown in) the restatements—with bonus points for a successful steelmanning. There would certainly be no attempt to infer a "winner" of any debate by any statistical means.

This almost certainly fail as being too infuriating for anyone used to the "submit" button having immediate results.
> Imagine debating if the "top" tier identity or the "low" tier identity should be used to promote a new idea, as it is riskier.

This sentence reminds me a lot of Ender's Game, in which the characters of Locke and Demosthenes are created to contrast views.

> They used throwaway names with their early efforts, not the identities that Peter planned to make famous and influential... When Peter was satisfied that they knew how to sound adult, he killed the old identities and they began to prepare to attract real attention.
Privatization is useful if something isn't in the public interest.

Once you accept that socializing police, fire, elementary schools, high schools, power, water, highways, the entire judicial system, and so on is in the public interest -- and medicine for the poor, the old, the imprisoned and in some cases the young -- the question of socializing medicine for everyone is just a question of where you draw the line.

Currently 40% of America is already under socialized medicine. The argument at hand is 40% or 100%. That's all. Not nearly as big an existential question as the politicians may have you believe. The question is "do we double the number of people covered by socialized medicine or not"?

There is a very well-known function in YouTube that allows you to link to the exact time of interest. For example, simply suffix the query-string "?t=10m32s" to the URL to skip to 10:32.

Would be ok if everyone was wearing a mask. You go to the bathroom, cough cough, you go to the restaurant, cough cough, and you're driving back home with your friends in the car, cough cough. If we tried to reduce infection during these occasions, there maybe wasn't even a need for much lock-down.

Germany is about to get rid of wearing masks in stores. That's like turning off the firewall because the attack is over. It's preventive, so you need to wear a mask before sth happens.

I'd be very happy if there was an experiment, just for 4 weeks everybody should wear the damn mask both in private and public, and see what happens.

How can so many people fail to grasp the concept of prevention?

Netflix and the traditional studios are almost opposites in how they make money from content. Netflix has profitable streaming that subsidizes content creation. Disney/HBO have profitable content creation (with risk mitigated by other business divisions) and that subsidizes streaming.

So with production/sports halted by COVID for everyone, and streaming rising, Disney is getting hit by a perfect storm, while Netflix managed to catch some breathing room.
Alt-right is technically a white supremacy neo-nazi movement. However, most of the time this label is used by woke people to discredit anyone who doesn’t share their views.

It’s not pedantic. It’s a very important distinction for exactly this use case. The CSV library doesn’t and shouldn’t close the source object because it may not have a close method and even if it does, someone else might be planning on closing it later (the scope that owns it) which might be an error depending on the implementation of the source’s close() method. Only the resource owner should close it, and the CSV library shouldn’t be the owner.

Using a very contrived and simplified example.

If company A spent a trillion dollars coming up with the manufacturing process and formula to cure every cancer in the world. The intellectual property at it's root is the protection of that R&D investment. Company A than get's to setup manufacturing, and set pricing for the market, at the very least to recover the billion dollars investment.

If company B comes along, and spends 100 million dollars to steal that magic formula and the manufacturing process. Company B now has similar costs to setup manufacturing, but significantly less in R&D costs that need to be recovered, to sell to the same product to the same customers. In the contrived example, there is no reason to buy company A's product from their IP, when the same can be had from company B, presumably for less. Company B than earns a larger profit, which can be sunk into their own IP for the next generation, giving them a huge step up.

Of course the real world with tech products is way more messier than this, but in theory it's possible to do. As I posted elsewhere though, I don't believe it's fair to say it happened in the case with Nortel.
Huh? Seems to me that you should be interested in and learning about all manner of computer related things including Distributed Systems, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence. Knowledge and techniques useful in one context are generally useful in other contexts. The ability to see structure and similarities across systems and applications is invaluable.
I really wish strong protections would be adopted universally for all forms of discrimmination based on genetics. There is an amazing amount of value to be unlocked but we will never get there if people have to roll a giant dice to access their genetic information. I wish I could have any faith that insurance companies would see the longer term benefit in enabling people to freely learn about their health risks and manage them. However I have observed completely the opposite so far - people with very mild genetic results being denied completely unrelated insurance because an insurance algorithm auto-banned them.

Standarization sometimes is tied to regulation. E.g. Google could be forced to offer Search API without ads at a reasonable price.
That's something that's always annoyed me! There can't be more than a few hundred items in the settings list to index and search right?

It is so frustrating that it takes sometimes multiple seconds to search this tiny list. It's also amazing that Android is made by Google which prides itself on fast results...

Actually I'm quite satisfied with the performance.

The main reason I'm considering using CoreBGP directly is that in order to use the evpn project I'm building, the user has to setup a GoBGP instance which might cause problems.

Embedding GoBGP just like kube-router[0] did might be a good idea too. Thank you for the advice.

1. Electricity is getting cheaper all the time. The cheapest forms, wind and solar, involve no detour through heat. Anything that uses electricity instead of something that produces CO2 is a big net win.

2. Huge efficiency gains are to be had, in electrolysis, via catalytic action, needing only transition from lab to production funded by sufficient demand for the hydrogen.

3. There has been great success with direct solar -> H2, needing, again, only sufficient demand for the hydrogen produced to be made industrially practical.

You're crossing streams here.

Government backed financing for equipment sales, and government procurement for defence or large projects ... these are activities are miles apart in terms of operational realities.

The Chinese government is involved to this day in financing Huawei customers. This is a big 'no no' for supposedly 'free trade' because it's a huge strategic advantage for any competitor wishing to completely dominate a market and flush out competitors.

The CCP controls their national commercial banks and controls the central bank - they can direct financing to happen directly for what they perceive to the benefit of the state and make no mistake this is a lot of firepower.

Imagine if the head of he Federal Reserve, and the head of Morgan Stanley were directed to make strategic loans to Cisco's customers at he behest of the President.

Cash-strapped Western companies, getting really sweet financing and credit terms and 'one stop one shop vendor' from Huawei is enough to really spook everyone.

Neither is it really a 'side show' issue - it's quite a fundamental thing. The financing is as important part of the equation as the product itself. Much like the financial terms on your car loan or mortgage are fundamental aspects of your terms of ownership.

An under-appreciated aspect to our educational system is that school desks are shared between two children, so people grow up learning how to interact relatively harmoniously with at least one other small child.

Absent a vaccine, Covid may alter that to the one-child-per-desk model, so I may discover in another 20-30 years how important shared desks were or weren't.

Existing mediums for note-taking (Evernote, Notion, Roam Research) are not sufficient for doing knowledge work over long periods of time. The functions these incumbents serve are primarily as “stores of knowledge” that we save because it’s interesting in the moment but never read through or “scratchpads” that we use once and never get rid of, which end up cluttering our information space like a junk drawer full of shopping lists and knick-knacks.

Serious thought involves more than just collections and associations: mastery requires repetition, creativity requires serendipitous discovery, and productive output requires flow states. It’s also a matter of acknowledging the fact that “units of knowledge” do not exist on their own: all knowledge is embedded in context (or “deeply intertwingled”, in the words of Ted Nelson), and without context, metaphor, and nuance, we cannot form meaningful connections. By baking these attributes into the medium itself, it’s possible to build an information space that’s simple to explore, can surface information when you need it, can augment the mind’s naturally ability to form connections, and can get out of the way the rest of the time.
True, they are however often available as part of compiler extensions.
It wouldn't work like that but if you made them else if and else branches respectively then yes it would. Each if/if else/else block as a whole is a single statement. But two if statements and a literal is three individual statements
I love the demo scene, but the culture is kind of strange. Like I've been fooling around with the C64, and all the tools (emulators, debuggers, and etc) are hosted on source forge, or sometimes this random ftp. The author of the debugger I'm using proudly proclaims that he only works on it when he's fucked up on drugs after parties. The documentation of some tools has lewd ascii art, and etc etc.

I appreciate the anti-corporate vibe and at the same time wish they were a little more professional. Whatever you think, they're true 80s style cyberpunk hackers!

No need to wait. You can buy the book right now, as it’s being published in Manning’s Early Access Program. You get it in epub, mobi and pdf formats, with updates as new chapters are written. And the hard copy when it’s done, if you signed up for it. (I settled for just the ebook myself, as I have been drowning in physical books for years now.)
As crazy as it sounds, this is why I'd try to keep it simple and just keep each implementation separate. Sure I'd save some keystrokes having a base abstraction and whatnot, but I feel like Poker is one of those "i'll make an interface" traps that is much more complex than it originally seems
MooseFS is great. I actually tried LizardFS first, and it was painfully slow. Only later, after settling on MooseFS did I read that erasure coding can slow things down, and erasure coding was the only thing I tried with LizardFS. So, I still can't say for sure that MooseFS is faster. Anyway, it appears to be better supported at the present time, although I did like that LizardFS can have multiple hot masters without paying for the pro version.
If you can use machine translation, countries with more than two major political parties often have "centre-" parties that tend to argue for centrist platforms on pragmatic grounds.

(incidentally, I am just at the point in Simone Weil's reports from germany where, early 1930's, the communist unions and nazi unions are ganging up against the middle-of-the-road pragmatic-reform-not-ideological-revolution social democrat unions. Very depressing.)
Functional Neural Networks (2020)
> You have a runtime process intercepting your code state, scanning and analyzing your heap and making a decision to keep, copy, or free.

Most generational gc's don't call free (the ones in Java can, but not per object, the reason for doing it is for returning memory to the OS). The GC will scan every _living_ object, but only those it is interested in. So if the decision to be made is which newly allocated objects should be copied over to the old gen, the gc will avoid scanning objects known to already be old.

The sentence you wrote made it seem like it scans the entire heap and decides which object should be kept, which should be copied and which should be free'd, but this is far from the case.

Since allocation with a GC is usually much cheaper than in non-GC systems (bump allocator) and since free is rarely, if ever, called, you can in theory get better performance from a GC than in a system with manual memory management. Of course, it all depends on the system.

The systems I write (mostly CRUD web apps) benefit from it, because requests to my service allocate little and run pretty fast, they're unlikely to survive to the next GC, and so I mostly pay for bump-allocation (which is cheap).

However, while the performance might be better my systems are prone to unexpected pauses while the GC does run. That pause might be less than the time spent in free in a manual memory managed system, but of course saving up all that time and spending it in one place does make it more noticable.

Thankfully, Java's G1 and collectors have managed to reduce these pauses so they're no longer noticable for my use. Pauses are less than 100ms (usually much lower) which is about the same variation I get from calling a third-party http service.
