> I only used godaddy once because I couldn't get the tld on namecheap.

Interesting... I'd love to get a .as domain, but Namecheap don't offer that. Does GoDaddy have more TLDs or where would you suggest to look for obscure TLDs?
The debate seems to be around whether the word dyslexia should be used, but the condition --- however named --- exists anyway. The proposed phrase "struggling with reading comprehension" is no less broad, or actually more broad, than _dyslexia_, and in my opinion brings no additional value to the situation.

I've known a person diagnosed with Dyslexia, and he was simultaneously one of the most well-read, eloquent person I'd known, and the most struggling with spelling. Even words he had to write daily (being a teacher and all), he couldn't spell with high accuracy.

If you tell me, he was just "struggling" with spelling, that's no different than telling me a myopic person is just "struggling" to see, or a person with a club foot is just "struggling" to walk.

Of course, I don't object that there are difficulties in the diagnosis or even a precise definition of dyslexia. But, to me, that sounds like we need more research to understand what's happening. If you want me to believe that the condition alltogether doesn't exist, I'd like to see some more evidence.

Has Cloudflare clarified their stance on which content they allow and disallow? They’ve wavered in the past and given how their service is basically critical infrastructure for the internet, I really want them to commit to free speech, avoid deplatforming, and avoid exceeding legal minimums.
I'll alleviate your concerns: it is not due to a big nuclear conspiracy aiming at making Big Nuclear fill its pockets, but by people who look at what physics dictates and notice that with our energy consumption things just don't add up. So you will see an increasing amount of (1) posts about nuclear, and (2) posts about de-growth or accepting to shrink economies through less consumption and production, not because there's a malevolent lobby but because people are becoming increasingly alarmed at the fantastically huge wave of problems already present due to climate change, and are acknowledging that the biggest mid-term effect is CO2 emissions (short term is water vapour and methane for what it's worth).

Side note: if you pick a conspiracy to get rich or defend "big money" interests or get swindled by, you're way better off continuing to side with oil and coal and denying that climate change is a thing - since nuclear takes gigantic initial investments and is not stock-market friendly but much more about countries' political will (and I got downvoted on previous discussions where I brought that up).

I've been wondering this since the beginning, as a parent of a relatively small child in preschool.

I've had one prediction all along, which is that parents of small children would probably also have lower rates of symptomatic disease, lower severity, etc. than matched controls, because they'd also be exposed to prexisting coronaviruses and therefore have some cross-immunity.

You could probably extend this to other groups too.

I admit it might be totally wrong but it seems straightforward to test with the right data, and if it were wrong that would also be interesting.
Thanks. But this is the internet. I use a bit of aggression experimentally at times. Overall though, it sounds confrontational but I'm actually pretty factual and I never attacked anyone personally, it's all about the topic and idea. I actually admit when I'm wrong (see above, and who does that in life and on the internet?).

What's going on is I'm spending zero energy in attempting to massage the explanation with fake attempts to be nice. I'm just telling it like it is. Very few opportunities to do this in real life except on the internet.

In the company I work for do I spend time to tell my coworkers that pure functions are the key to modularity when classes and design patterns are ingrained in the culture? Do I tell them that their entire effort to move to microservices is motivated by hype and is really a horizontal objective with no actual benefit? No. I don't. People tend to dismiss things they don't agree with unless it's aggressively shoved in their face. They especially don't agree with ideas that go against the philosophies and and practices and they've been following for years and years.

Thus if I'm nice about it, I'm ignored, if I'm vocal and aggressive about it, I'm heard but it will also hurt my reputation. It's HN feel free to experiment just don't try it at work.

Yeah my attitude isn't the best, but honestly, if I was nice about it, less people would read this or think about it. By doing this on the internet I can raise a point while not ruining my rep. (And I'm not actually aggressive as there are no personal attacks unless someone said something personal about me)

Tell me, in your opinion, how would you get such a point across in a culture where the opposite is pretty ingrained? I'm down to try this, I can repost my original post with the errors corrected and a nicer tone to see the response.

There is also a bug in iOS that disables the sound of alarm/timer from time to time. The alarm goes off with the screen showing the alarm but no sound at all.

In my case it usually reappears every month or so and is only fixed by rebooting.

It’s not related to system sounds because I had checked the alarm settings a few times

Wondering if it’s only me.

I find it sad that every time the subject of DoD comes up, lots of people act like it's incompatible with Object Oriented Programming.

This is not the case. You can program in a data-oriented, cache-efficient way using OOP. To give a super basic example: in a game, this could mean writing a class that contains data for many game objects, instead of a single one.
I reported a spam domain to namecheap, including a police case file, full emails, and basically everything except a bank statement after my elderly parent was taken for a (several thousand dollar) scam.

Namecheap never resolved it or even responded back beyond the precanned message.

I'm learning Rust for the first time and found that The Rust Book does a pretty good job of covering language concepts. I actually just finished reading the section on lifetimes last night: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch10-03-lifetime-syntax.html

My experience so far with Rust has been a huge reduction in mental burden/bookkeeping compared to when I write modern C++.
Yes, I plan to go back and make several improvements this evening after I'm off work :)
The Ugly Side of React Hooks
Yep. I have a GTX 980 and most likely won't be replacing it until later this year when 3080s aren't as hard to find and I can get a look at the upcoming Ryzens for a full replacement build.

I've used the "tweaked" RTX Voice on my 980 and it mostly works, but while testing it in some social Zoom meetings I also found it was causing artifacts unless I applied the typical modest overclock profile I use when playing games.

I will confess that one of the reasons I look forward to getting a 3000-series is that I want to use RTX Voice and Broadcast during all of the web conferences I do nowadays. Hardware accelerated fake-chromakey and effective noise cancellation will both be welcome additions.
I like that they completely dodged the term "microservice" in the whole post.

If you work for a large social network with huge social responsibilities, discussions about ethics ought to be unavoidable, in my opinion.

If you're writing accounting software for paper suppliers or something equally banal with few ethical implications, then sure, there's no need (and less reason) to have water cooler conversations about pro-genocide agitprop or whatever.

EDIT to add that of course not all departments at Facebook make the sort of decisions that have a marked social impact. More referring to the content policy teams, and the news feed algo teams, and so on.
I understand that domains are just rented and not owned, but in common parlance it's usual to talk about owning a domain.
Google domains sometimes dumps you onto GoDaddy. Which is/was unexpected and unwelcome. Sometimes you have to buy a domain and that's the way through.

I typically don't use them by choice (I actually like the AWS admin for DNS, but they aren't cheap - I probably need to check out other services like NameCheap).

But I don't think it is fair to label them technically incompetent, when it is not uncommon to get shanghai'd by accident (maybe that's what you mean by technically incompetent - but frankly if it burns more than 1 hour of my time to fix - I leave it alone because I have other priorities. I also only change about 10~20 vim defaults on a new VM. Fight me.)

> completely agree with this, let's disprove it and strike it off the list, but the studies that I have read so far don't seem to do a good job of disproving.

That's not how science or research works. The onus is on the ones that are claiming something works to prove it works. So far they have failed. Otherwise one could come up with zillions of alleged treatments that are assumed to work unless someone disproves them.

Anyway, he wrote that in early April. If you read his writings in the next few months he think HCQ doesn't work.

The stories of US companies knowingly and psychopathically killing people just to make a dollar are hard to comprehend.

I am generally for the non-militarization of local policing, and was inclined in that direction for federal policing as well, but this article and your mention of the FLETC (which I had never heard of) made me realize that perhaps it makes sense, even the multiplication of agency teams.

Here's my reasoning: at the Federal level, the US is large country (4th geographically and 3rd by population) and the federal agencies cover lots of different areas. Yes, you need different people with different skills to protect a spaceport, a train, a nuke on a truck, etc. OK but what about Amtrack what's so special about trains? Well, the article had the example of the Amtrack team training on a special ladder for getting inside of a train. Just think of the Coast Guard teams that intercept narco submarines, sometimes by jumping on the sub, banging on the hatch, and pointing their guns (maybe that was the military side of the CG, not sure) [1].

So the idea that each specialized agencies has specialized teams with specialized skills doesn't seem too far-fetched. The fact that there is a federal facility to centralize and standardize the training is actually a good thing. Give everyone a solid basic training, and then local training in their agency's special conditions, and that seems like an effecient way to handle the requirements.

As for why the US needs such SWAT teams all over the place, I think could be more debatable, but the rise of terrorism, however much overplayed is real (Oklahoma, 9/11, Paris, Paris again, etc.). As much as I think the Patriot act was a power grab and right-wing gift to the military-industrial complex, you also can't do nothing. Like I said, the US is a huge country, has lots of exposure and targets, and has made more than a few enemies (I wish it wouldn't).

And I really like the idea in the US that the military is not deployed against civilians, yet the federal governement needs some way to protect its facilities and activities (and policies, for example school desegregation). So federal agency police forces with appropriate military-style training seems to be the next best solution.

I agree that universities, school districts, and local police forces with SWAT equipment is really crossing the line. But that really is a separate issue, and looking at federal responsibilities and spheres of action, I think it does make sense.

>what if that retribution comes in the form of speech, which is likely? It sounds like...

Don't read in what wasn't written - by retribution I meant in real terms like pain, danger, or economic ostracism.

>complete freedom from the consequences of your actions.

Someone in the pro-free-speech camp would not consider getting yelled at on Twitter to be a truly significant consequence. If they did, they would have to be open to the idea in having limits on extrajudicial twitter-flogging.
Sorry- my argument must have been very easy to misunderstand.

My point is that the marginal cost of a hobbyist user, who receives no support, is approximately zero. At no point did I say developing Fusion must have been cheap or easy! What I was trying to say is that those costs are unrelated to the number of hobbyists using the software- Autodesk does not need to hire extra engineers to let me use Fusion. (Support is the big catch here- but I don't expect support from a free tier!).

This is distinct from, for example, a mass-produced bicycle- there, yes, you still have NRE up front (design, hopefully testing, molds/tooling...), but a significant part of the cost of each bicycle is related to the cost of the input materials plus labor. That's not the case with software! With software, practically everything (again, support aside) is a sort of NRE- it's a fixed cost, no matter how many copies you make. Thus, if you somehow definitively knew that a particular customer will not pay for your software, and that their usage of it has benefits for you (greater adoption, the chance to convert them (or their employer) to a paid user later, etc) it would make sense to allow them to use it without paying- the cost to you is ~0 (mostly just bandwidth), but the benefit is non-negligible.

This is not true for a bicycle. If somebody cannot pay for a bicycle, and I am manufacturing bicycles, it generally doesn't make sense to give them a free bicycle unless I'm getting something else out of it that's worth at least as much as the cost to build one additional bicycle - i.e. the cost of parts and labor. But note that the cost to design the bicycle is not part of the calculation there- because it doesn't depend on how many bicycles I build from that design.

The distinction between rival and non-rival goods is very interesting, and I don't blame you at all for not understanding it. It can be counterintuitive!

Does that make more sense? Again, sorry if I was unclear!
No I would not be happy. What I was thinking was: How does who I text help with in person contact tracing. If I text my High School buddy in california how does that help determine who I came in contact with if I were later diagnosed with Covid.

I don't get the relationship between numbers in my phone and the probability I stood in line at a starbucks whith someone else who was infected.
I’m old enough that I always just typed ‘Whois’ at a Unix prompt.
I've been wondering this myself; last I heard (2 months ago, fairly credible investigative journalism), there was a massive disconnect, state to state, how COVID-19 deaths were assessed and recorded. IIRC, Florida was on one end of the spectrum, tagging deaths as from any comorbidity present (only tagging as COVID if they couldn't find anything else), to California, which was tagging as COVID without test confirmation, if enough of the symptoms were present.

Yes, it's a cat and mouse game, but you only need to fail a check once, then it's "your account has been suspended indefinitely, please contact support".

> how many games do you think will want the user to have an unlocked device

Many more will rather be able to attest that the user isn't pirating all IAP.

> It is also, of course, ridiculous for a bank or food delivery app to refuse to install their app on a device which is actually controlled by the user when they allow the same device to do the same things on its website

Ridiculous, yes, but it's still done anyway. The same device is also often not allowed to do the same things on the website, or the website implements similar or identical fingerprinting code. Everything from polling tons of "logged in URLs" like facebook's favicon to detect what sites the user is logged into, to port scanning the user's LAN, none of this should be a thing and should be extremely illegal, but in practice it's abused heavily.
The flashing didn't increase performance it allowed you to use Quadro certified drivers which are available now for Geforce (minus the official certification and support iirc) too (i think they are called creator drivers or something like that).

This also impacted only a tiny subset of CAD/professional imaging products which were out of reach of consumers anyhow often due to the massive PITA and cost that was certifying your hardware and drivers for those products.

Quadro wasn't running faster in Blender, 3DSM not even AutoDesk (in fact they were often slower due to lower frequencies), the apps were it made a difference when those drivers were finally released for Geforce and Titan cards were only the likes of Catia and Siemens NX hardly consumer/prosumer software.

I'm sorry but if you are a 7 figure a year license holder for Siemens NX spending $2000-3000 extra per on each GPU every 3 year isn't going to be an issue, not to mention that you aren't going to be using Geforce GPUs anyhow as the drivers are still not certified (which is required for the industry) and even more likely you'll be buying certified workstations from the likes of HP and Dell.

What you describe is microservices developed in a monorepo, and a lot of companies (including the one I currently work at) have gone this route.

Some people might disagree, but imo the cult of microservices does not require 1 repo per microservice.

The tools you describe are build-graph management tools (bazel pants buck etc) and rpc tools (gRPC + protobufs, cap'n proto) and they are indeed pretty cool, albeit to a niche crowd.
> If you are claiming that all or most pirates cant afford the game, or that people who afford it wouldn't download a crack instead, I disagree.

Then this is what we're disagreeing about, because most people who can afford the game have no reason to deal with the trouble of pirating it.

This isn't to say that if a crack is available immediately there won't be a ton of pirates. They're just mostly not the same people who were paying. In many cases it goes the other way: Someone doesn't know if the game is worth it, so they wouldn't have bought it but they would pirate it to try it out, and then after they figure out they like it, they buy it (e.g. so they can play multiplayer). Especially when the version they buy isn't less convenient than the version they pirate.
