I for one, lamented the (abysmally slow) pace at which schooling took place. When you are correcting your English teachers at 12 ("its a word; uh-huh, use a bigger dictionary"), arguing that the system of arithmetic/geometry/algebra/calculus being taught is wrong (no, no, that doesn't have to be so...here are some exceptions), and getting thrown out of art class for not "following the rules" of your art teacher...

luckily... I used to hang out with adults (who at the time, surpassed my abilities++). and discovered the public library (libraries, I used to tear through them like a hurricane+++).

... I used to think that the "next level" of school, would be were I got to meet the people like me... except of course, it never materialized.

it amuses me to think about it from time to time. and then, sometimes I regret, the waste.

but thats life, eh?

No, not at all. You're free to believe what you want, but the moment you expect me to believe it as well, you need to give me a reason to believe it. If there's no reason to believe you, then there's no reason to believe you. Or to allow you to regulate anyone else's life according to your beliefs. Or to allow you to teach your nonsense to children in place of verifiable facts.

Reverse engineering is generally legal. Reverse engineering DRM can potentially get you a lengthy jail sentence.
I'm going to sound maximum hipster/back-in-my-day/gate-keeper here, but Reddit circa 2015 and earlier was far better.

Nobody wants the redesign. Reddit doesn't need avatars. It used to nicely tread the line between enough people to make it active, but not so many that it didn't still feel niche. It feels very mainstream now, and I think it's lost a lot of what made it actually good. It's asymptotically approaching a social network, but to no benefit, and only the downsides that come with that.
Kind of OT, but it bothers me that the caption of the lead photo mentions Easter Island, but the lead paragraph references Rapa Nui.

How does a blockchain solve the anonymity and routing problem? If I post anything on a public blockchain it will be cryptographically verified to have come from a specific account because all transactions are signed: https://blog.signatura.co/using-the-blockchain-as-a-digital-....

> Bitcoin uses digital signatures (ECDSA) to prove ownership of funds, so sending bitcoins requires the owner of them to digitally sign authorizing the transfer. This transaction is sent to Bitcoin’s public network and later recorded in Bitcoin’s public database (blockchain), so anyone can verify it by checking its digital signature.

If everything is signed and verified to come from a specific account then that's by definition not anonymous. To be anonymous it would need to be the case that no one could figure out who sent the transaction (making the sender of the transaction anonymous), i.e. it couldn't be tied back to any specific account.
> Don't the say that "The doing is often more important than the outcome".

If you're burning through your own money to bootstrap something, wrong/bad decisions made early can cost so much time and money it makes it unfeasible to continue. If you're burning investors money, it's less devastating personally and you can afford that expensive learning.
> But if you're absolutely sure you need to be planning to run at close to Twitter or Facebook scale one day, then yep, you'd better architect from the beginning not to use joins.

No, both of them started with MySQL. If you make it, you have plenty of resources to throw at the scaling problem, it's a good problem to have. A bad problem to have is running out of money and shutting down because you over engineered from the start. Don't do that. Most startups fail, and you're no exception. Build one to throw away, and if you're lucky enough to succeed, you can use your new-found resources to rebuild what needs to be rebuilt.
Yeah, its funny how people think they can understand the nuance of other people situation by just spending 45 minutes "digging" into it.

Coming from Scala and TypeScript the Dart language is pretty unappealing wrt syntax and functionality, kind of archaic actually. Flutter looks amazing and have been hoping that Dart would evolve more quickly than it has.
Idunno, the Han unification wasn't that aggressive. What would really be destructive would be something like 瞭 and 了 sharing a codepoint.

Which glyphs were “unified out of existence”? Isn't it more just a matter of using the appropriate typeface or a variation selector? In my limited experience, I've noticed some things being non-unified that I would expect to be unified, like 步 and 歩 (e.g. in 散步 [zh-TW] vs 散歩 [ja-JP]); far as I can tell there isn't any semantic difference between these characters, 新字體 just added a stroke to make one of the radicals more consistent; I guess the idea was that Japanese users mix 新字體 and 舊字體 in text, and JIS character sets had separate codepoints for each from the beginning.
As somebody who is learning both Taiwanese Mandarin and Japanese, I don't think it's common for unified characters to differ enough that they would be unrecognizable. I think that no matter how the Unicode Consortium approached this, they would need to set some limits on what gets a separate codepoint; the question is not whether or not to do the Han Unification, the question is when a glyph is actually its own character.

As for selecting specific glyphs of a character, if you have a font that even has the variant you're looking for, there is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variation_Selectors_Supplement

Still, I feel better using ProtonMail than FastMail, and I consider FastMail to be preferable to gmail.

I also feel better only touching Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook in a private browsing tab. I understand that they can to some extent still use my data to make money for themselves and not share any back with me. I understand that even limiting the data collected in me, I am still subject to nudging, herding, and conditioning - but I hope to impede these actions against me.

Just picked up a new pair of running shoes now that I'm back into running. The salesperson at the fancy running store seemed surprised that I don't use an app or some kind of tracker. Why would I need to? I'm not competing. I just want to stay fit. My competition is myself and my goal is to run until I'm satisfied with my workout. Why would I care if I ran X number of miles or what my speed was? How does that help me? It seems like a distraction with no point other than showing off to other people.

I used to track my hiking miles back in the day. All it did was justify poor eating habits or give me a false sense of pride.

I should have made it clearer that Longhorn is sync as default. Linstor is also synchronous as default, but you can mess with it to make async in some situations (In reality you allow it to be out-of-sync).

I´m really rooting for Longhorn. I´m a sucker for GUIs. But in my tests the performance is not there yet.

However, they opened a new epic ticket to focus on performance, and hopefully they will keep improving Longhorn after the acquisition.
Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if a huge chunk of reddit users have never even seen the old UI before. Most users probably use the official app these days.
SUSE is owned by EQT which is an investment organization. They basically provide the capital and resources to grow a business and then get out when it reaches a target. This is very different from IBM/Red Hat.

Has this been fixed? I was relying on a workaround, but forgot to set it up again when I reinstalled Windows a few months ago. I only realised that just now, when I went to check the details in order to recommend it. (I'm being vague because I'm unsure what it was; I think it was a Firefox extension.) I wouldn't have lasted this long if I was still frequently being sent back to new reddit.

It’s really hard to believe it when you have parents saying crap like “my daughter will never wear a mask and will hug her teachers and friends!”. That was one of the comments made by a parent in a survey my school district sent to help them understand how to proceed for the upcoming school year (we had access to the answers; anonymized, of course). And there were a lot with the same tone.

I don’t know, I’m afraid that even with all measures in place there are too many people that don’t believe the pandemics is real and don’t try even a bit to make their part as a member of the community.

Edit: typos.
Aw thanks!

Yeah, I was a moderator on one of the first university-run online forums, and it was so stressful and difficult...! All the first-year students just spoke off-the-cuff, but "monitoring" all that speech was SO challenging...!
That’s fair, but does anybody find Roman or Greek statues offensive? To many in this country, Confederate statues are symbols of oppression and a reminder of the systemic racism in our society.

The answer to “Where do we draw the line?” should always be “somewhere”, instead of just throwing up your hands and admitting defeat.
Parent implies there is a correlation, but GP doesn't see it because they're stupid. My assumption is they were referring to post Fukushima nuclear shutdown.

Even if I'm misreading it and parent is instead saying there's no correlation, there's still no need to be mean.
>I also need to recognize that I'll have people coming to interview, having read the "Cracking the Interviews of FAANGs and All the Other Companies Who Act Like Stodgy Fortune 500 Hiring Large Numbers of Commodity Brogrammers" prep books, and probably seen that in some/most of their other interviews. :) And if someone shows up expecting the current usual rituals, I shouldn't hold it against them, but rather, it's my responsibility to communicate that I'd like to try to do this a bit differently.

>One fear is that I'll explicitly tell people I'm looking to do this "genuine", and some will interpret that as an empty platitude or conceit, in interview prep book behavioral right answer terms. :)

This seems like a good problem to think about. I don't have a solution, but I think it's a good thread to pull.
Both of you guys are missing something. Investing advice that is ingested by the public from professional investors is the advice that applies to managing billions of dollars of capital. Its an insane situation that the public listens to people whos objectives, risk tolerances, benchmarks, and professional goals are completely different.

Active investors, who are professionals, that manage less than 50 million see extremely high returns. When you get into the billions, you cannot make the same trades, and your clients DO NOT want you to loose their money. It is more so about simple wealth preservation.

I could go on and on. But I'm busy.

> Rust is the first language I've seen that is trying to do something about it. I think the idea is that MIR is an intermediate language that still retains type information, after lifetimes have been resolved. Using this, they can implement better analysis and preoptimize code before it hits LLVMs optimizers.

MLton also keeps type information around basically until machine code generation (as far as I understand, at least). There have also been several interesting papers/projects about typed assembly languages.
Something that's surprised me is that there hasn't been a push to allow users to restrict a websites access to JS APIs.

If I can restrict certain sites to different browser APIs, it would make it so much easier to get rid of annoying browsing behaviour. For example, there is no good reason to allow websites to sniff my clipboard or to play multimedia without my consent.

Depends on your perspective. On the one hand, I haven't had to fight anyone, and would like to keep it that way. On the other, I'd like to be able to if necessary.

Martial arts is the only activity other then programming in which I have reached flow state. I suspect dancing/yoga/etc also reach this state, but I don't know because I've never done any of these seriously enough to get to that point.

Aside from these, like borroka said, it has an affect on your demeanour and world view, which is honestly the biggest benefit.

> very rarely a useful thing to have learned.

Also, it makes good resume filler if you're just barely getting your career started. Not quite as good as being an Eagle Scout, but non negligible.

I've just made a lot of personal improvement through martial arts, and figured I'd bring it up in case someone else would enjoy it.

Why did this get downvoted? Price improvement is strictly better than no price improvement, but there's no reason to expect that every brokerage will divide the economic benefit of their uninformed order flow between themselves (as payment for order flow) and their customers (as price improvement) in the same ratio.

I'd love to know how that split gets decided. I guess it's "as much as possible to the brokerage without looking so lopsided that someone writes an article about it", except at brokerages like IB that publish data on execution quality and try to market based on that? Do the contracts between the brokerages and the market makers specify the quality of execution in any detail, or is that just a long-term reputational thing?
You can use git to do it in a way that's fairly natural for software development.
Yes, calling for a company to fire someone is generally protected under the First Amendment. (There might be some edge cases, like if a state has a criminal anti-discrimination law and someone is inciting the company (to unlawfully fire a specific person specifically on the basis on a legally protected characteristic).)

But the ideal of freedom of expression is broader than limitations on the powers of government. The ideal also encompasses social norms that encourage open and honest discussion. Bad arguments made in appropriate public forums should be met with counterarguments, and certainly not with being placed on industry blacklists or getting fired. Otherwise, there are very real chilling effects on the willingness of people to engage in honest discussion. (To clarify what I mean by "appropriate public forum" above, let me give an example: Protesting someone's funeral by marching on a public sidewalk and waving signs inscribed "God hates X" is legally protected (Snyder v. Phelps, 562 U.S. 443 (2011)), but is outside the bounds of what most people would consider appropriate. Protesting in that place and manner rightfully subjects the protester to public scorn.)

Its an insane situation that the public listens to people whos objectives, risk tolerances, benchmarks, and professional goals are completely different.

Active investors, who are professionals, that manage less than 50 million see extremely high returns. Commonly over 100%. When you get into the billions, you cannot make the same trades, and your clients DO NOT want you to loose their money. It is more so about simple wealth preservation.

Raising capital to start your own fund is extremely difficult, expensive, has extensive legal bookkeeping, and requires an immaculate pedigree. I work for FAANG and aggressively invest my money, will be retired before 40.

A normal person won’t be able to access an onion site, let alone care about the pop up they’re getting about its availability. I’ve watched people navigate web pages with the half screen cookie banner still open.

This guy is hilarious. I actually laughed reading this line: "Every time I'll get a payment notification it's gonna feel like stepping on a lego"

Anyway FWIW it's good and not bad that you found a successful competitor doing what you wanted to do. It is not the end of the line rather somebody else has validated the idea for you. The only time you should actually worry is when you can't find one single competing product to what you're building.

BTW as you put it that their app is slow buggy, there seems to be a lot of room for improvement and so it's still not too late and maybe time to outshine your competition and eat/share their lunch.
I get the sentiment. But at the same time, this could be described as a difference between programming and engineering.
You're allowing second-order effects to dominate your thinking about a first-order problem. I see this a lot, here, and in real life. Example:

A: "lets fit a defibrellator at the pool"
B: "but what if we get sued" ?

outcome: nothing. Were they sued? were they less likely to be sued? what if they are sued for NOT having a defib? This is racionation to endless effect.
