When infra isn't code, it's very hard to recreate. You can't possibly keep track of all the knobs changed by humans. It's easy to miss them.

I like your idea of backing manually created resources with a machine log that can be replayed. Even better if it's editable and can be turned into something more concise and documented.

Terraform is hard to read and manage. But it's better than manual, bespoke infra.
Exactly! Plus, there's no lock-in. If GitHub pages shuts down tomorrow, I still have all my static files and I can publish them to another platform.
And on the other hand, any mail client can connect to any mail server, and any two mail servers can exchange email between each other, so the service is fully federated. The benefits here outweigh the downsides.

But also, why isn't there a commonly accepted better email standard yet? It's not because the RFC process is slower - it may be, but it's not that slow. It's because none of the big providers are interested in this form of interoperability. It's plainly obvious when you look at the sorry state of affairs in IM.

We're really, really lucky to have the interop that we have, solely because early days of the Internet were more collaborative, and enough of it got early adoption and stuck around, because it was too hard to uproot. But the more we go forward down the present path, the more Internet is splintered into proprietary bubbles.

"Being alive is coercion!"

This is such an over intellectualisation.

What is coercive here? You can't call the innate physical realities of your own body acting within its self coercion.
This is exactly the type of thing I'm on HN for. Someone in a different part of the world walking us through a very specific technology with examples.
The example works but you need to understand the idiosyncrasies of all the tools involved and the text format. Once you learn that you're passing around structured data and you access it the same way it becomes trivial get data.

I’ve heard this idea before on HN in regards to reforming patent law also. I LOVE this idea. Pay a small tax on the stated value, but also allow others to buy rights at that stated value.

When filing for a patent or copyright, say “I believe this is worth $1m” — so you pay a $20k tax on filing/renewing it. If you’re not confident that your idea can actually redeem 2% of that stated value, then maybe it’s too risky to actually be worth that much. So you say it’s worth $100k because you can definitely make at least $2k from it.

But if you’re really only confident in making $2k from your idea, and someone else is allowed to “buy license to use your material” at $100k, you’d be absolutely floored to make so much money from that idea. So if you end up being wildly successful, you’ve still made a lot of money (and can keep using your idea), but now competition/reuse is allowed past your stated value threshold.
Agreed, that was my whole point.

The "UNIX philosophy" gets cargo cult by younger generations thanks to a couple of statements in a few worshipped books, yet there is hardly any UNIX clone post V6 where it was actually followed upon.
I am sorry, I don't understand this comment, can you explain? My idea is to replace the host plant with an artificial medium that will serve the same purpose.

I never renew domains. I just let them expire after a year and register a new one in its place. The web is ephemeral in nature anyway and that's why I do it. Then you have the ten-year time window limit to deal with, and who even knows if your registrar will be around by then.

I think you can actually lift two fingers as soon as you've started the 3-finger drag and it'll continue dragging. If you're quick enough you can lift all three fingers and reposition them, too. They really put in a lot of work into the software behind the trackpad, which is still a major selling point for macbooks in my opinion.
Austrian here. I regularly drink pure milk, sometimes a full litre at once (sometimes raw, which probably isn't a wise decision). Though I have to add that I rarely drink milk outside of my home, i.e. in public or at friends' places, or see other people doing so. I also think that most of my friends don't drink as much milk, as far as I know, and I've heard some of them say that they are lactose intolerant.
At least as far as music is concerned, what you're describing sounds like a nightmare.

1) It would do irreparable damage to the social elements of listening to music. The question "have you listened to Foo, by Bar?" would be obsolete, because of course they haven't, it was generated just for you.

2) Any music with lyrics generated or tweaked by such a system would ring completely hollow, with the knowledge that it's not actually words a person wrote. Worse, if this is common enough, there will always be doubts about whether a purportedly human-written song was actually written by a human or not.

3) Put yourself in the shoes of an artist forced to confront that no one is actually listening to the song they wrote, but merely automatically generated variations on it which they did not compose and do not feel ownership of.

> If we're careful we can characterize and destroy the filter bubble while we're at it.

I do not understand how you reached that conclusion. I think the most likely outcome is the exact opposite occurring: a reinforcement of filter bubbles and social isolation.

As a more general point: I've come to see the drive towards "personalization" (and by implication commoditization) of everything is a social sickness. It denies shared experience, and leaves us feeling more alone.

As an example, one of the beautiful things about music is that because it stirs our emotions so directly, it allows us to participate in extremely meaningful shared experiences with other listeners. Music is a vehicle for communication.

I enjoyed this and am going to take a look at the rest of the series, always wanted to learn a bit more about audio processing.
Well, for my part, I do think that we should be able to copy and share brand names without permission from their originator after 20 years. On the flip side, I also think that we shouldn't be able to use creative works to pass ourselves off as someone we're not, at any point after the creation.

"IP" is an odd collection collection of things that actually work pretty different from each other. Patent limits the use of some kinds information; copyright limits the copying of other kinds of information. Both of these are naturally "non-rivalrous" - I can watch a movie or build an engine at the same time that you watch that same movie or build that same (kind of) engine and we don't interfere with each other. We artificially treat them as if they were rivalrous - where "there are only so many to go around" - so that the market will better reward their production. Letting them eventually fall into the public domain, however, ameliorates the dead weight loss we're causing by artificially driving up the price.

Trademark is a bit different. Someone choosing to do business with me, because they have had good experiences doing so in the past or heard about me from a friend, is a limited resource in a way information alone is not. Letting others confuse that by providing their own goods and services under my mark doesn't increase the total value available.

So your question isn't really a natural one. These things work differently and it makes sense that we treat them differently.

Having said that, your question does make me think about an issue I've seen crop up occasionally, where a long-standing brand known for high quality will self destruct by cutting the quality without cutting prices. If the reduction in quality allows for sufficient cutting of expenses, and the reduction in quality is not sufficiently, immediately obvious, this can radically increase margins without significantly decreasing volume and make people a lot of short term profit until the suckers buying the product figure it out. On the one hand, simply capping the length would presumably make this worse, not better. On the other hand, making them contingent on something beyond a certain point might be an interesting space to look for a solution.

I think you should take this idea into 2nd/3rd order effects of continuous, controlled food growth that isn't hampered by weather or transportation costs.

Immediate second order effect would be the obsolescence of grain futures, you don't need to hedge against a bad harvest. You probably also wouldn't need to go into debt to buy enough seed to plant each season.

Another would be a more elastic supply chain without the need for storage/buffering, which we've seen drastically reduce prices and increase production for all sorts of widgets using just-in-time manufacturing. If you can scale up/down wheat production pretty reliably with only 70-80 days forecasting, you can eliminate a lot of the inefficiencies of the food supply chain.

Sidenote, a literal vertically integrated bakery would be a sight to behold
I get that during alder and elm pollen seasons, but usually around eyes and mouth where I sweat a lot. I'm not allergic but I do feel a constant need to wash my face that I never feel. Elm and alder pollen range from 15-50µm, I do not know how much/big pollution particles there are compared to that, but they usually measure PM10 and that is under 10µm, and in really badly polluted areas it is probably alot worse than pollen.

Magically cheaper nuclear powerplants, presumably built by the Nuclear Fairy.

The cost of steam turbines and generators alone would prevent nuclear plants from producing power at 1/10th the cost of current plants. I don't think you're going to find a nuclear component of the plant that costs negative dollars.
I've done my fair share of 8086 programming (mostly bootloader stuff and some DOS coding for fun), this is (along with the cmpsb, scasb, stosb, insb, lodsb, outsb instructions) probably the most CISCy instruction(s) the x86 has, especially when you consider that the rep prefix can use the ZF flag (repe, repne) to decide whether to repeat as well as the value in CX. I'd love to see a write-up on it.
> I encourage you to challenge yourself with an open mind and give it a read

I did. It relies on junk science to justify bigotry.

And that's why Google's response concerns me. (I encourage you to look it up too.) It uses the words "wrong opinion" instead of calling out the junk science. But it also abandoned employees who may have mild concerns about the processes that Google was following.

Thus, Google handled the situation poorly because it didn't discredit the "diversity memo." It assumed that everyone disagreed with the memo, which clearly isn't the case.

I wasn't referring to mental disability, but aside from that, yes, a typical random person plucked off the street could generally learn quantum field theory, given about a decade of appropriate focused effort.

Mathematical maturity takes about a half-decade to develop, maybe a little more. Working through physics up to QFT takes a bit under a half-decade, in my experience. It's slow-going at first, and then accelerates.

I've seen people go through very similar transitions before.
It isn't just Trump, it's an entire subset of the GOP who are actively pushing Kremlin propaganda, just to hold onto power. Senators, including Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin), in the middle of an egregiously poor pandemic response, accepting and spreading Russian propaganda, wants to yet again start up investigations of Biden and his son, in September. It's soooo important he has to wait until September, to release this urgently important report. Well timed, however, to try and influence an election. He clearly think his own constituents are gullible morons, or else he'd be more worried about getting punished at the polls. But in fact, he thinks this will work.

This is super cool! One suggestion I have is to try to optimize the arrangement of the cut-outs to use the paper more efficiently. In some cases I think up to 2x the cut-outs could fit on a page.

You may also want to consider trying to arrange the cut-outs so that the flat edge aligns with the flat edge of the page. Might result in less cutting for the user.

When I proposed to my now wife, I built a reverse geocache box. It had a one way mirror on the top and button on the top. It showed you how far you were and what direction you needed to move towards. It took us to various locations where we had gone on notable dates. Once we got to a particularly scenic hill side, it unlocked and the ring was inside with some roommates hiding in the bushes with a DSLR.

There was just one minor hiccup, I taught my roommates some rudimentary C and gave them a list of GPS coordinates they could pick from. The idea was that I wouldn't even know where we were going. However, they made a mistake and skipped an index in the array, leaving it as zeroed out data. We pressed the button and it listed the next location as 3000 miles away to the East. Luckily, I somehow had the foresight to install a reed switch in one of the corners. I grabbed a magnet from the car and skipped that landmark, breathing a sight of relief.

I have lots of good memories of drawing and sketching a secret project I titled RGCP (reverse geocache proposal) on the floor of my crappy apartment while she looked over my shoulder, trying to figure out what I was working on.

From a technical standpoint, it was a Teensy2.1 with a GPS serial module a SPI LED screen, and a servo for the latch.

This looks like a mac mini killer for me. What is particularly interesting is the 'optional' slot that lets you put a second Ethernet port there. Dual Ethernet machines in this form factor are nearly non-existent, and with high end processors definitely non-existent!

My last mini-PC purchase was a NUC with an i7 however that machine doesn't have the ability to keep from overheating under any sort of load so it is constantly throttling itself when doing -j 6 builds. One hopes the Ryzen can do better.

What remains to be seen is whether or not you can put ECC SODIMMS in this box. Since exactly zero of the current mini-pc offerings have ECC and with 64GB its something one should really consider in my experience.

>A top-selling Arina Grande song will probably be all but forgotten in 50 years.

The people listening to it now will listen to it in 30 and 50 years. And, judging by social media comments, teenagers in that era will also appreciate it.

There used to be this notion that only "great" music survives (probably judging from classical music or the history of literature), and "transient" pop hits don't, but we've seen every one-hit-wonder and tons of pop hits from the 70s and 80s survice just fine, and even get new listeners.

It's basically a kitch pop hit, but it's not just people listening to Toto's Africa in the 1980s that appreciate it now. Or stuff in Madonna's 80s catalogue, etc.

So there is subpixel antiiasing, which I prefer, it works really well on lower res displays and gives you more horizontal dpi, but not all app frameworks support it (...) and some people /hate/ it.

Then there is the classic grayscale anti-aliasing.

Finally there is the nightmare of different DPI monitors.

I've also witnessed a machine (Surface Book!) that decided to start rendering all fonts in MS office applications in some weird super jaggy way like it was 1992 or something.

The fonts should never be blurry, IIRC Microsoft tries go snap characters to pixel boundaries, which is less "correct" than Apple but should be more legible.

Unless something goes wrong...
Trying to enforce characteristics for the network at the global scale is incompatible with the most basic degrees of freedom of expression. However, at some point all large corporations - so far - want to weaponise their control of the network to steer its characteristics at a global scale. This is why all large social networks suck so badly. They all try to be a one-size-fits-all social overlay to the Internet, and this is a fool's errand.
