That's a noxiously inaccurate caricature of what people in each "camp" believe (to the extent there even are two camps). Practically nobody believes in strict communist-style equal outcomes. The most any significant number want is more equal outcomes, because the distribution of outcomes has clearly diverged from the distribution of any real merit. What the majority want is equal opportunity, just like they say. That's something we don't have, and it's disgusting to appropriate that phrase for those whose beliefs are more accurately described as discriminatory and/or segregationist. It's equally disingenuous to imply that pride in achievement or desire for self-improvement are either distinguishing characteristics of or unique to that group. The vast majority of those you deride as "equal outcome" believers also have those characteristics. If anything, it's the "OK for heritage to determine outcome" crowd who don't believe in achievement and improvement.

People call that kind of twisting of facts and words "cancerous" because it is. You could argue reasonably that attempts to address current inequity are misguided or have gone too far, but not by misrepresenting what people believe.

It must be exhausting to maintain youtube-dl, what with youtube changing its api every so often. It would be a huge shame if we lost youtube-dl, though.

For example, I use cron jobs to run shell scripts that invoke youtube-dl to automate downloading youtube videos I save to various playlists.

I just ran youtube-dl and downloaded some videos just fine, so I'm not sure what Gloryness is referring to.

I wish GitHub had a better interface to browse forks, right now it just displays a single list and requires you to search through individual forks to find any meaningful changes.

They also featured "fork this project" prominently for a while leading to many novice Git users forking projects unnecessarily, which pollutes the list of forks.

Yes but I imagine most services would spot that as an invalid address? Although it's worth trying something like

john...doe@googlemail.com

To see if it passes as a valid address. Don't use this for evil, okay?
This reminds me a bit of `ddd` [0] which has been around ~forever. It really helped me visualize some object relationships in ThoughtTreasure [1] back in school.

A main difference seems to be you have to tell vscode-debug-visualizer how/what to show in the code, whereas with ddd you either point-and-click or else run gdb/ddd commands like `graph display _variablename_`. I guess you could probably script the latter, but I like how vscode-debug-visualizer reifies what you're visualizing into the code itself instead of into a debugging session.

Microsoft Teams has improved quite a bit since the pandemic started also. They added things that were missing, like a tile view (max 9), raise your hand, and blurred or custom backgrounds.

Zoom is still better, but Teams now seems "good enough" to me.

printf %n is known to be dangerous for ages, and the secure variant printf_s which forbids it is nowhere implemented because politics. Almost nobody uses the -Wformat attributes in its declarations, and the wide variants of __attribute__(format(wprintf)) and wscanf are waiting to be implemented since 2008. Patches do exist for ages.

I don't believe he has a problem selling cakes to anyone, just that he refused to design cakes with themes.
I have to say, the youtube-dl issues tab is one of the most toxic and filled with entitled people I've ever seen. I visited it a couple months ago and it is appalling how rude people can be.

I would not be surprised at all if the maintainers are stepping away for interpersonal reasons. Though, I am not implying this is the case.
I'm only aware of anecdotes (of course; no one other than the CCP has data), but I was thinking in particular of this report. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/uighur-muslim-...

> she was detained a third time and spent three months in a cramped prison cell with 60 other women

Of course that's only one sample. But if that is near the true death rate being applied to 1 million people (and soon more) then it's clear that this is genocide.
> It really does feel, maybe for the first time (for me,) that the divide between those that can take advantage of this situation and those that cannot has grown into an insurmountable chasm.

I 100% feel this.

One of the most acutely tragic aspects of this pandemic is that it dramatically amplifies the inequalities already present. Other natural disasters—wars, hurricanes, etc.—destroy physical objects. That effectively increases equality because it is most harmful to those that have the most capital.

This pandemic leaves everyone's possessions and wealth alone and cuts off your ability to work. The people most likely to get it are those who don't have the wealth and power to insulate themselves from risk. And they are the ones least likely to have the healthcare required to survive.

It is a horrible, horrible tragedy.

At the same time, I try not to think of this as insurmountable. Everything good about our current society was created by people living in a world less just than the one we have today. It was the people living in a United States where Blacks were enslaved who emancipated them. It was men who legally had all the power that finally granted women suffrage.

There will be many casualties and many people who don't get to experience better days. But at the national level, I have faith that we can overcome this and end up better than we are today.
Radio is public. These people need to be named and shamed.

An automated system for recording and archiving these public transmissions with their call signs attached as tags would probably be a good first step.

Normal as in "average" or normal as in some kind of healthy & moral?

The average person puts their pitch fork back down and enjoys the bonding experience that a successful hunt brings to the community. The out-group isn't just persecuted because they are different, the whole process also helps confirm the unity of the in-group.
It's pretty rich that Google claims to be removing these apps for hate speech when their own search engine returns results from sites like Kiwi Farms and Encyclopedia Dramatica on their victims so prominently.

Yeah, this happens every time Facebook is involved in a murder or genocide (which is shockingly often), and so far it has resulted in basically no change at all. If they employees really cared about it they'd do more than complain.
That does this RFC even say? I read it twice and it seems to say "Some mail servers may use the part of an email after any character as a subaddress which doesn't affect which inbox a message is delivered to."

It seems to only talk about the receiving server and gives no way for the sending server to do anything useful as it doesn't specify the character to use if the receiver implements it at all.

I think this is good, I would like to not have senders try to guess anything about the structure of my email, but it makes me wonder what the point of having the RFC at all is.
Thanks for posting this. I didn't know it was ONLY 12 miles that he drove. Based on the news I thought he went a lot farther.

In regards to the "state lines" ... it's funny when people actually care about "borders".
Yes, this is more or less exactly what I tell myself. I think it's a rational and logical way to look at this.

I still feel very uneasy about it though. We don't know the long term effects of COVID. I worry that I could be contributing to something terrible. It's not just the direct chance of me getting someone sick, there's also the fact that each person that goes out sends the message that going out is fine. Which maybe it is? But it seem that if everyone did small sacrifices could help a lot, so it would be wrong not to personally do these sacrifices.

In the prisoners' dilemma that we all find ourselves in, I really don't want to be the defector. And it bothers me that so many people are willing to be. I think it goes against my internal belief of what being a good person is.
It's disheartening to see so much racism among the community here.
He's not living on scene defending his property. A lot of places in the US privilege that scenario for self-defence when otherwise your actions would be prosecuted. If you take a rifle and drive to a trouble spot you could be construed as looking for trouble.

The Chinese government itself admits that these people aren't formally charged with any crime and that criminals go to different prisons. As they aren't actually terrorists, this entire line of logic doesn't apply.

The Black population in the US is disproportionately impoverished. Should we round them up into re-education camps?

It's policy based entirely in ethno-nationalism (racism).

The US had a Civil War over separation and slavery, but we didn't establish re-education camps for all the people who were on the losing side. You didn't see Germans forced into re-education camps after WW1 or WW2 (at least on the non-USSR side).

I don't know of ANY instances of this kind of re-education thinking in first-world countries. Even third-world countries don't usually consider this moral. It's basically limited to second-world (communist) despotic countries. In recent times, I've heard people talk about re-education camps in the US, but (big surprise), they're always alt-left (communists, antifa, whatever).
I have a youtube subscription, and although I can download and watch videos offline, I sometimes download kids stuff onto an mp3 player of my kid (Hoerbert, an offline mp3 player that looks like an oldschool radio). Also there are videos that I want to keep copies of (interviews with Luhmann for instance). So I appreciate this tool very much and hope it will be maintained forever :)
Hahah, interesting backstory on that one. Quote from Wikipedia:

In 1932 Random House, which had the rights to publish the entire book in the United States, decided to bring a test case to challenge the de facto ban, so as to publish the work without fear of prosecution. It therefore made an arrangement to import the edition published in France, and to have a copy seized by the U.S. Customs Service when the ship carrying the work arrived. Although Customs had been told in advance of the anticipated arrival of the book, it was not confiscated on arrival, and instead was forwarded on to Random House in New York City. As seizure by Customs was essential to the plan for a test case, Morris Ernst, the attorney for Random House, took the unopened package to Customs, demanded that it be seized, and it was.
that's not just youtube. youtube-dl supports a lot of sites.
In my experience, the latter is the case.

Look at the mathematical facts: most people live paycheck to paycheck, have no rolling cash savings let alone an emergency fund of months.

You think that is a sign most folks are paying attention there very well?

But what’s that mean if they do anyway?

If everyone has a cool million is that some sign we have enough real supplies to go around in a crisis? To satisfy that potential financial demand of cash for real product?

We weren’t producing enough TP to handle a short run on supplies. All energy spent on big finance is purposeful indirection away from truth.
Yeah, typically when I see "slam" or "destroy" in the title like this I know it's not going to meet the expectations of that word.

These words are so overused these days in headlines.
I have used a few, and the other most recent one- a MacBook air- had the exact same issue. I wouldn't call anything I use specialty hardware, though both the go spectre and surface book 2 were, at the very least, on the high end of midrange.

Email still exists. Just create google or microsoft or webex meeting and send email to all participants.
My impression from looking at the repo's Issues occasionally is that the maintainers seem to be permanently pissed-off and/or burned-out. They close so many issues as Duplicates but never link to what they are duplicates of, and ignore the inevitable requests for that information.
> Do you deny that the DRP gov't is directly or indirectly paying many thousands of people to wage a vast information war on social media?

First of all, I'm assuming by "DRP" you mean the PRC. Is DRP a non-English acronym?

The PRC definitely employs online shills, but my understanding is that they're mostly active on the Chinese language internet.

I think the people we encounter on the English internet who seem like shills actually have more in common with GamerGate than the actual government-employed 50 cent party. They even go on hamfisted GamerGate-like harassment campaigns against people they don't like.
The CEO of Amazon doesn't have a bank account with $200B sitting in it. His net worth is his ownership of Amazon. And Amazon, minus the human rights arbitrage scheme that delivers us megatons of goods manufactured by disadvantaged people, is worth not very much.
> I agree that word is bad

If we put aside the Word file format, and maybe the ribbon, is Word bad though?

I've been using it for decades, and have tried OpenOffice and LibreOffice too over the years - nothing comes close to Word.

Markdown is not suitable for "normal" users, but as a developer, I've come to prefer markdown for technical documentation and such (especially where I want a history, diffs etc), but I still use Word for a lot of other things.

Word is incredibly fully-featured - I use a lot of functionality, but am likely still only using a fraction of what it has. It really does have all your document editing needs covered.

Aside from the file format, I think Word is a fantastic piece of software. I have a few annoyances with it now and then, but it's been very dependable and kept me in good stead over the years.
Woaah.. this never occurred to me. Thank you, for the suggestion. Didn't know about "KeyboardEvent.code". And of course.. arrowkeys, kinda ashamed I didn't think of that!
OK I found a video showing the first fatal shooting [1]. It's not as clear as the video showing the mob chase (where it indeed looked like self defense) but from what I can tell the person who died got shot while running away from the shooter (it's hard to tell where the shooter is exactly during this time). Doesn't look like self defense to me. Hopefully there are better recordings of the whole incident.

Warning: the video is very graphic, esp in the end.

Six months ago a poster here lamented that they were rejected by Google and Facebook. That it would take 2-3 years for them to make $250k. That everyone they see on IG is getting to go to Hawaii on offsites while their employer won't even pay to send them to a conference in Seattle.

It is the kind of thing I can understand. Everyone, at every income level has problems that are very real to them. At the same time, I look at their complaints in light of what someone in poverty deals with everyday and their complaints are pitiful.

Viewed through the lens of "what will cause the most bad publicity" a browser is understood by 90% of the population. The "fediverse" isn't. It can be spun to cause damage in the way a browser cannot.

Google don't care about the federated stuff because it's not big enough to bother them, in fact it probably siphons all the crap they'd rather not index off to a place they no longer have to worry about.

They care about bad publicity and being seen to implicitly support "bad" things via their app store.
Redis _can_ be used as a cache, but it's not the only use case.

I've personally mostly used it as a message broker (celery in python, resque in ruby), but it can definitely be used as a database.

Bottom line, it's a very flexible tool, and can be more than "just a cache".

What a pretentious comment. I'm not in favour of deplatforming either BLM or QAnon, even though I do agree with the GP in this case. Maybe you should consider the fact that other people have valid opinions, just because you don't think they're correct.
Banning militia groups or similar groups or speech has upfront benefits but hidden costs.

Facebook taking responsibility for such activity will inevitably to other very difficult decisions down the road.

One mans terrorist is another's freedom fighter. There are many such conflicts all over the world, and at a certain point no objective criteria can be used to censure.
GUI's still the pinnacle of productivity, let's help them out
Ignore specific technologies, standards, and programming languages for a thought experiment. What's the most productive UI design for regular office productivity? The answer is still GUI's, a technique that's several decades old. All the focus on finger-based mobile and social networks hasn't changed this fact.

While it may be possible to build a highly-productive mobile-style UI, it's difficult to get right and/or requires more user training. The mobile UI world is a sub-set of GUI idioms, for the most part. This means you are more constrained; working with a smaller pallet.

Desktop-style GUI's can fit more on a given screen because the pointer is smaller compared to finger aiming, can have roll-over text for cryptic icons, right-click options, nested pop-ups for drilling down into progressively further detail, and others.

Emulating full GUI's in web browsers has proven tricky. The emulation libraries are huge and often break when new browser versions or brands come along.

If the industry faced the fact GUI's are not going away any time soon, perhaps it would form a good GUI-over-HTTP standard. It could roughly resemble Microsoft's GUI XAML, but be cross-platform, "stateful", and interactive. The Tk or Qt engines maybe can serve as the base for a "GUI browser" or browser plug-in.
I am not sure either, but it actually diminishes the significance of the drive in my eyes, as 12 miles doesn't seem very far. I would assume that 'across state lines' was more than '12 miles'.
Because the chickens haven't come to roost yet and they're following trends.
