People want to be able to create stuff that looks just as good and is as smooth as what professionals are making without learning anything that they basically don't already know. That has definitely changed.

In the old days, it didn't matter how _good_ you were; basically, your site was going to look more or less like the site created by someone who just started and tried really hard for a few days. You could copy/paste HTML from other people's sites _and just have it_. Now, nothing works because there are tokens and authorization and APIs everywhere.

I don't see anyone complaining that you can't just build a car from scratch in your garage. That would be crazy, right? Yet, somehow, anyone should be able to learn how to code professional internet software with little effort and understanding.

If you want to use React, I don't understand what's so hard about the [introductory documentation](https://reactjs.org/docs/add-react-to-a-website.html)? It's almost pure HTML and has [a lot of help](https://reactjs.org/docs/getting-started.html#try-react) for extending it from there.

This is honestly a lot easier than what we had at the beginning, where even documentation for HTML tags wasn't so easy to find.

Maybe this is still too complicated, but the lower bar is there, whether you like it or not. If I don't know how to use scissors, I'm going to be a shitty barber.
The fingerprint of an iPhone is very common. If you use a rare privacy friendly Android operating system on a rare device, your device may have a very unique fingerprint.

So if you don't install many apps, I believe an iPhone is the best solution. You will still be tracked of course.
the meta data they have to collect in order to pay you is worth more than the $20
Lol honestly I don’t trust anyone who says their system is secure. The idea that some random company that built an android or iOS app with an aws backend magically has no vulnerabilities is laughable, especially after they had hard coded credentials in their repo. The more the ceo says it the more he loses credibility. I might trust a big 5 company to implement this, might. But generally until our systems are secure by default I don’t think anyone could do this right, and there are so many resources going into hacking it it will take a lot of guarantees for me to start to feel better. Mail in voting is simpler and much less vulnerable to scalable hacking.
Well thank God it wasn't. I love email, one of the few bastions of the old internet.
Is padding specified by the spec? Because if it's not then padding won't help you either since you don't know that your padding aligns with the compiler's. Rather AFAIK you need to write some compile time checks that what you think the compiler is going to do is what it does and fail compilation if doesn't and then add whatever compiler/platform/option specific code to get your stuff to match along with more tests.
Interesting! I did not realise they were so slow to blow.

But I also had a feeling that they may have also been intended as a poor-man's RCD back in the day:

Your washing machine shakes the live loose and it touches the (thankfully earthed) metal case. Then you have a dead short across the fuse which should hopefully be enough to blow it pretty quickly..
That’s a wild wild misrepresentation of the meaning of the word “data” and the purpose of the slogan.

This “bend your mind”, “drink your own medicine now” wittiness borrowed by the postmodernist crowd is the essence of current alt-right rhetoric.

I went through the process to delete it, including giving them my email address. They showed me all my relatives, their home address, and said that I needed to confirm my email. Never received my email. This is going to keep me up at night.
This is an awful idea. The volume of spam calls I receive greatly increased when I did this.
I don't understand the proposal. Why would the spammer even need to store the email on his own server. It could just be generated on demand.
In C, you could provide a bunch of functions that chain together the permutations of operations that can be optimized. I.e. TransverseMultiplyMatrixInverseDotProduct() or whatever actually makes sense. Since you can't overload operators, folk would have to read through the available functions to find what they need anyway. It wouldn't be pretty, but it would be functional and probably compile down to similar machine code.

But could you propose a better name for the math terms you mentioned? Fermat last theorem for example is famous because of its history and not significance and I don't think any other name would be better. Pythagorus theorem - how to call it with a short and significant name? The only option I can think of is "a squared plus b squared equals c squared" which is hardly a good name :)
Hetzner storage has some fantastic deals which supports NFS mounting. Backblaze is also good and has a reputation of being very cheap but you should be aware that the download has a cost if you download your backups often. Wasabi storage is also very cheap (s3 compatible)
We said all that and more about the Soviet Union, and still made gestures of international co-operation. Because it was better than nuclear war.
I agree with your last sentence, but a lot of people already have a life and they’re still addicted. The life, of course, is affected. But the addiction is strong.
Your post is disingenuous and ignorant.

Like most people who have not studied the subject, you have gone with "sound bites" highlighting the negatives without any context thus distorting the whole discourse. In the interest of "personal edification" i suggest a study of the following;

Do you know that there are many texts called "Dharmasutras" (your cherry-picked quote is from Gautama's)? Do you know how the concept of Varnas began, debated, evolved and interpreted from ancient through medieval texts? Before the later texts there was no ideology of fixed Varnas but only a mapping of the concept of "purity" to something called a "Varna" i.e. the idea of a rigid "Caste" did not exist. It was a cultural manifestation during a certain period which had unfortunately propagated and later taken as the "truth". A careful study of Hindu Dharma texts would reveal the fact that it was never a single "ideology" like Islam/Christianity but a constantly evolving system of ideas towards a better Society.

I highly suggest reading Prof. Patrick Olivelles's paper "Caste and Purity: A study in the language of the Dharma literature" to really understand the issues involved.

PS: Wendy Doniger is a hack. Anybody who interprets thousand year old texts from a different place and time using modern sensibilities cannot be considered a "Scholar".

I have another great example of this: Dutch versus South African. These were the same language and used the same dictionary and spelling rules as recent as 150 years ago. And now, while many words look similar, many words are different (and words for modern inventions are completely different in both languages).

This results in that when I met a group of south african ppl living in The Netherlands some time ago, we would speak English, because our native languages drifted so much apart.
You are right - most API's are RPCish and RESTish at the same time. Apparently REST core is not enough.
We've switched our CI/CD to GitHub Actions and love finding these useful actions that we can plug into our workflows with minimal effort. Thank you for sharing this!
Americans already make poor marriage decisions. Marrying people we have only interacted with under parental supervision would make that much, much worse.
Because that does not illustrate the concept of building a language as clearly and succinctly.
Depending on where you are in the US GFCI breakers might be required these days in certain scenarios. Dual AFCI/GFCI breakers are certainly available at the hardware store. They're expensive though so it seems most people don't use them unless required to (which is crazy IMO).

Related but different, AFCI breakers are now required where I'm at in bedrooms and similar spaces where you wouldn't expect appliances to be plugged in.
The existence of people for whom burning wood is the only way to heat their homes in winter now does not preclude the possibility of a future where people can choose to use thermoelectric facilities for cooking or (in winter) heating when weather allows, and use electricity from other sources (batteries or mains) at other times.

(In my view there is hardly anything especially manly or romantic in buying fuel for a modern pellet stove. As far as I know unless one literally owns a forest one can’t legally go around chopping down trees in most countries. Chopping may be a good exercise though.)
I’ve had success with an iPod. It’s very cheap, the size is perfect, and it’s just as fast as the latest iPhones.

It does everything a normal iPhone does (and I’ve never encountered an app that didn’t work), except you have no SIM so you can’t make regular calls, send/receive SMS, or use data. This can of course be a problem at times, so I still have a cheap backup phone that’s usually powered off, and often left at home unless I’m meeting someone or need to use Google/Apple maps. From a privacy perspective you also benefit from its lack of SIM card since it doesn’t ping cell towers.
While there are probably things that would be improved in a "proper" free market, I feel like that's overestimating the average person's ability to make informed decisions.

There will always be an information and power asymmetry between ordinary people/consumers and special interests/corporations.

Sure, people could form consumer rights groups, boycott companies with unconscionable data collection policies, demand a sane and afforable health care system, etc. But people have a limited attention budget. It's just too hard to care about everything, so people don't.

That's also why we don't have proper regulation; if we cared about having a functional, efficient government we would, but we don't really care that much.
So certain are you?

I knew it was probably trouble just from a glance. Knowing this topic would bring out every single nitpicker, I did the actual research to be doubly-sure before writing the post.

You might be surprised how much extra shit goes into my posts just to avoid the inevitable backlash. It's not good enough to have a reasonable amount of knowledge. You have to go well beyond into the arcane to avoid the sniping from this crew.

And even then, well, THE ONE shows up time and again.
The names you suggest are generic terms that already exist in the respective jargons with different, more generic (and in fact more intuitive) meanings. It's like noticing that the name "Jonathan" has no mnemonic function in the term "Jonathan apple", then suggesting the term "fruit" as a better replacement. This would not solve, but exacerbate the issues raised in article, in that this would make all of learning, teaching and expert communication harder (compare your suggestions with the ham sandwich theorem, a snappy name which serves as an exceptionally good mnemonic device for both the theorem and its usual proof, despite not mentioning Lebesgue measure, Euclidean space, exact division, or really any specific objects involved in the statement of the theorem).

Non-Otto four-stroke cycles abound (cf. Diesel cycle); new industrial methods for ammonia synthesis come into existence every few years and there's not much point in singling one out and calling it _the_ ammonia synthesis loop. The case of shortest-path algorithms has been thoroughly discussed upthread. Your suggestion for Calabi-Yau and Girard's paradox are not coherent with the meanings of these terms.

No big deal: giving a purer meaning to the words of the tribe is not easy, and requires deep domain expertise. And those with deep domain expertise do think about this task, have some strong incentives to think about it (teaching evaluations factor into promotion and tenure) and generally do fairly well at it.

Do you think those situations are comparable?

Is the threat of nuclear war between China and the US comparable to the threat of nuclear war between the US and the USSR?

Perhaps a more comparable situation is between the UK or US and Nazi Germany in the mid thirties?

It would have been a terrible idea to embark on shared technological and exploratory expeditions with Nazi Germany in the 30s.

Yandex, Google's Russian rival, is doing just this from time to time. I am taking a taxi from home to office every day and it sends a driver via longer routes when traffic is heavier.

I beleive that greater mileage contributes only to car's service frequency, and it's pennies when amortized to years of duty. Driver's and passenger's time is much more valuable.

I read about the Khyber Pass area growing up and it sounds like such a beautiful place with a long and interesting (and unfortunately violent) history.

Do you think there will be a time in our lives that outside visitors will be able to see it? Do you think that would be good or is there more value in the almost globally unique degree of independence the area has maintained going all the way back before Alexander the Great?

Keep in mind I have no clue what the Khyber Pass is actually like except what I read, and I haven't even read too much.
This is my experience coding drunk as well. I also really hated the experience. As someone who enjoys getting lost and getting drunk and programming I thought I would love doing both together, it turns out for me drinking just maximizes the magical transient errors when coding caused by false assumptions which are always the hardest to debug.
I understand how you might find Calc lacking compared to Excel, but surely Google Spreadsheet is not any better. Why do you prefer it anyway?
Leaving aside technological security, one HUGE problem with online voting is that there is no way to ensure the vote was not coerced.

Scenario: A particular community/religious institution/school, etc., lets their members know (not in writing) that they will be required to have their vote witnessed by two other members, on pain of expulsion.

This is not far-fetched, even in some places in America, and certainly in other countries. Even if we can be 100% certain that the vote is secure and not tampered with online. I don't see any realistic technological solution for this. Giving the option of in-person or online voting won't solve it - those wishing to coerce will simply require members to pick the online option.

Yes, this is already possible with mail-in voting (and there are reports of it happening.) But if online voting becomes mainstream it will become a much bigger problem.

Disappointed that the article didn't mention this at all. Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/538/

This piqued my intrest. I’m a hobbyist C programmer so forgive me if this is a rudimentary question. What is the rationale/convention for naming a variable “_”? I’ve never seen this before.

For example:

struct lg_buf *lg_buf_init(struct lg_buf *_) {
_->data = NULL;
_->len = _->cap = 0;
return _;
}
I had seen this on hacker news before but forgotten the name! Thanks for reposting it!
There’s nothing wrong with what you’re saying, but I find it hard to see why that matters. I mean, 1) bitcoin still isn’t a currency and there’s no signs of it becoming one 2) the banks and governments seem fine. It’s definitely gaining in value, but so is Apple stock and gold.

But more generally, I don’t see the point. We’ve established that the people who end up with lots of bitcoin are people with lots of fiat money (and some early investors), so all you’re doing here is perpetuating the current economic distribution, and frankly fiat currency and the corresponding banking system is very effective at that already.
This is what I got with your comment, after going from English > Spanish > German > Vietnamese > Turkish > Chinese (Traditional) and finally back to English:

> Easy to fix: Google translates your text into several languages and then back to English

I'm actually a little surprised it was as close as it is. The form of the sentence has changed, but the meaning is still easy enough to figure out.

EDIT: Avoid adding Esperanto and Latin. That results in this:

If you give people who's last name starts with A a tax rebate, everybody else has to pay more taxes to fund the same things. If you cut the expenses appropriately, you can make sure they don't have to pay more, but they'll get less for what they pay. Either way, it's unfair.

Don't adjust the schedule. Increase the pay for anyone who works more.
Is "wide support" of her arrest (as framed by the person I was replying to) an example of white lady in distress? That seems like the exact opposite of white lady in distress. Or is the single person who thought the arrest was unjust (further up) an example of white lady in distress?

None of this fits the white lady in distress definition. It just seems like a way to smuggle in anti-white racism for no particular reason. Nothing about this situation has to do with race in any way whatsoever.
That’s amazing. I learnt programming on a VAX 11/750 so this gave me an acute nostalgia attack

A cool thing you can do is memorize the words two ways, how it's spelled and also with the letters rearranged alphabetically. That way when you arrange your tiles alphabetically you can just see all the words you've memorized this way that you have or are close to.
Right, it was an skill of the old days, when typewriting was done for copying papers and transcribing in mechanical or Selectric machines.

Note also there are two shift. They were designed to use with the opposite hand to the key being type. So only one finger in each hand is pressing the keyboard, that applies to uppercase and for special characters. This also alleviates RSI.

On my case, its late to change the memory muscle, so I use the caps when there are more than two upper keys. Same happens to oldies like me, that were trained in the 60s/70s/80s. We still use both shifts and the capslocks. And I usually recognize those that were trained like me by the way the type.
this wouldn't work fine with a Amiga. It supports some video modes that can be displayed on a TV. So needs a Commodore monitor or a scan doublet.

Also, the video output of some computers barely get in the standard. Yes, an analog TV can handle it fine, but try again on digital. I have a composite/SCART to VGA and can't sync correctly the composite output of my Spectrum +2. However, the same output it's handled correctly on my Commodore monitor
C is quite typical for new installations due to the abundance of SMPS's, which can easily cause issues after a power loss due to the combined inrush current.

But yeah, D is indeed rare, and not typically found in domestic installations.

Yeah, this is my experience with duolingo too. I know in my head that all that extrinsic motivation only limits my intrinsic motivation, where the latter is what'll actually get me to learn something. Despite that, it's hard not to do easy exercises just to end up on the leaderboard.

That depends on your native language, though. For Non-English speakers sounds no different than 'Shell sort'.
It has teeth, but it's not very hungry right now. Still, if you complain and CC crunchbase in, then it's them who have to do this calculation, and in context of risk. It may just be enough to get them to remove the data about you.
be careful you guys. these are awful people collecting this data, and i'm pretty suspicious that they will use the additional data they gather form you when you opt out ("for proof its you") and use it against you in their other databases. for instance, i confirmed my phone and email info in order to opt out of one but another clone site now says my information is "Verified".

While the article is technically correct, it is completely wrong on its message. I can't use GitHub profile as a negative factor, but totally can as a positive one. So, active GitHub profile literally helps with hiring like in "requires less effort from both candidate and company sides".
Thanks! Thinking a bit more about it, I could imagine some performance impacts even on full featured CPUs. With virtual memory and the OS paging stuff in and out of physical RAM under memory pressure, read only data can be swapped out faster than writable data. The former, being immutable, can just be forgotten and then reloaded from disk when it's accessed again, while the latter has to be written to a swap file first, and writes are typically orders of magnitude slower than reads. Doesn't matter as long as you have plenty of RAM though.
If you're paranoid, definitely use a throwaway email for the opt out. They already have so much info on me that I'm doubtful that confirming my identity would add anything to that.

I guess we're lucky that most of these SEO-saavy brokers seem to at least pay lip service to US/EU laws (or even do so voluntarily, since I think only a handful of states actually restrict selling your publicly-available or personal information online).

I shudder to think about what's floating around for sale on the dark web or companies hosted in countries that don't care about US law.
