There's no alleged about it. When far-left publisher, the Guardian, published a completely unverified Trump Russia dossier, they received no condemnation from Twitter. Yet, when the NY Post publishes proof of a Democrat illegally using his political office to enrich his family, all of sudden publishers need to start proving every last detail of their story before they can post to Twitter?
His mention of Masters of Doom was interesting, because that book is really what got me into programming. The reality of corporate programming when compared to the freewheeling hang-out-with-your-friends-eating-pizza-listening-to-metal-inventing-cool-things programming described in the book has been a real bummer. Does that style of programming even exist any more?
Large tech companies like Twitter and Facebook and media alike have suddenly come up with all sorts of new standards to justify blocking or not reporting the Hunter Biden documents. I find it grotesque and completely inappropriate. Democracy is not a bunch of educated elites (and most of the "respected" media is white and ivy-league educated) telling the unwashed masses what to think and how to feel.

From Mikhail Bakunin:

> Liberty can and must defend itself only through liberty; to try to restrict it on the specious pretext of defending it is a dangerous contradiction.

Despite the intentions of these companies, I find it fairly evident that censorship usually just reinforces the status quo. It's a terrible tactic for forward progress.
This is a really interesting thread to read for me. I remember when I was in school as a dumb teenager watching the Zeitgeist video that was going around then, it’s a bunch of dumb conspiracy theories which if I watched now I’d probably peg as blatantly antisemitic as those things tend to be.

Anyway I mention that because during that time I remember always leaning on weird ZeroHedge articles to prove things in dumb arguments. I don’t remember the specifics but it stuck with me enough to completely blacklist ZH when I realised how dumb I was being.

It sounds like I probably should take a look at it from a fresh perspective and without that baggage, because it’s obviously not what I remember based on these comments.
My bad, then. I don't know why I expected that a review of a camera would contain representative images from that camera. :P
So if you think politicians utilizing social media to reach the people is ok, you also have to think it is ok for a foreign nation to use fake social media accounts to influence an election?

Social media is the tool, and some uses are ok and some aren't. I am not 'showing my true color' when I condemn someone who uses a knife to murder someone, even though I praised a master chef's use of a knife to cut food just the day before.
I cannot imagine what would make the author think that. This didn't appear four years ago and it won't disappear tomorrow. It may change name, but the driving force behind it has been decades in the making, and I see no reason to think it won't continue to make itself.

When has a conspiracy theory ever died out from being defeated? Defeats are just evidence of how powerful their opponent is and therefore to be resisted that much more vigorously.

You're talking past each other. OP was framing Twitter as a "natural monopoly":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_monopoly

The barrier to creating a new social network once network effects have locked in a few major players is enormous.

In this situation, the market is more efficient when the large incumbents are granted a highly-regulated monopoly status.

That's how power companies work. You don't have new power grids cropping up, but the main providers are held to much stricter standards that a normal private company in terms of their quality of service and how much they can charge.

If we allow mass-scale social media to continue existing, we need these sorts of strict regulatory standards. These companies have become mad with power, and there's no way to unseat them through ordinary competition.

You could use Lisp in a batch style. I would then propose to use a compiler-based implementation like SBCL, since the compiler gives a lot of feedback. That can help in batch programming -> write code, compile it, run it -> with the added error messages from the compiler or the runtime.

Some people program Lisp with very primitive editors, but they better use the Read Eval Print Loop for interactive programming, too. That would be different from the usual C, C++, ... Java programming. You would need to understand interactive programming. That's a level one needs to master - especially in many situations (and where one does not use SBCL) the dynamic typing of much of Lisp requires interactive exploration/debugging.

> it's not as bad as it used to be

I can only talk to Panasonic (GX8) and Fujifilm (X100F, XE3), but for both of those it's still pretty awful. Transfers are very slow, especially if you want full resolution, and it's always frustrating to just connect my phone to the camera--the apps are slow and clunky, setting up the adhoc network is flaky, and often times even after connecting it'll suddenly just disconnect for no reason. The XE3 supposedly supports a persistent, bluetooth connection that'll auto connect and auto transfer photos, but every time I've tried to set that up, it sends like the first two photos along and then doesn't work anymore.

I've moved to just using an SD card reader.

My spanish isn't the best, but with assistance from Google Translate, I'm able to line up the death-charts with the cases charts.

https://imgur.com/cJw6dTk.png

If I'm reading that spanish correctly: its "Number of daily cases" (casos diarios) on the top, with "number of deaths" (Muertos) on the bottom, both in Madrid alone.

----------

The first wave is clearly wreaked by undertesting the population: Spain probably just didn't have enough tests to really count the cases back then. But for the 2nd wave (going until today), the death numbers clearly went up a few weeks after the case-count went up.

The case-count has begun to decline in Madrid, I think they're "over the hump" (knock on wood...). So looking forward, they're in a good spot.

But you can clearly see: when cases go up, deaths go up soon afterwards. When cases go down, the deaths go down soon afterwards.

The JVM that Java shop is using is likely written in C, which should make you question the straight equivalence you’re setting up. There is an operational difference between getting a native executable and having something that sits on top of Java (or any other managed platform).
> speaking up when you see something questionable or ridiculous.

I wish this was encouraged more, but unfortunately our society is moving in the opposite direction. Speaking up gets you labeled as a malcontent, at best, unless it’s of the “50 Stalins”[1] variety of critique.

The board in the article is the closest you'll get --- all the different companies ultimately use the same parts for their TVs, with firmware accounting for the biggest difference.
The focus on building a capabilities based API is so good.

Most platform apis let you just do stuff. Open /home/user/my-image.png. Ok.

The capabilities model re-orientes operations like this. The app starts with some kind of handle to a starting directory. Maybe it's to /, the root, maybe it's to /home/user, the user directory. Whoever has a reference to that directory handle can use it to open files / other directories inside that directory, but can not go upwards!

So if you have a file-saving middleware, you can be sure, whatever libraries that middleeware uses, that it will never write to anything other than the directory you give it.

This is a subtle & small change, with massive impact. Most OS have a parallel system-call that works similarly, openat(2), which is built around this idea of directory handles.
Very nice work. I appreciate, because i did a lot of programming myself.

It isn't a very good comparison given that those thermostats/locks aren't free and it's unlikely Google wouldn't like someone because of how they are using their thermostat. In this case, twitter provides the account and the objections are to how the account is being used.
I don't think Java adds any more things you must tune so much as it adds a lot of things you can tune.

You can just treat these appliances as a black box if you can't be bothered to learn the tooling.
Don't know squat about corporate real estate, but why would lease terminations occur en masse in Q2 2021?

I would expect that a sliding window of leases would be expiring all the time, and that the bloodbath would be slightly more gradually occurring right now.
The infections are spiking

Not in Madrid. From your own link, the number of new cases in Madrid has been holding steady around 2,500-3,500 for a month now [0]. Since the average hospital stay for Covid-19 is around 20 days, the in-flow and out-flow of patients in hospital beds should reach a steady state. In fact, you can see from [1] that the number of new cases was higher in september than in october, so we should expect to see a slight decline in hospital occupation over the first few weeks of october, which is exactly what the charts show [2].

So if you start your post with a falsehood, what value does the rest of your post have?

> I set GatewayPorts clientspecified in my /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server. This is needed so that the client (RaspberryPi) can specify which ports to enabled reverse tunneling on.

This isn't quite what GatewayPorts does. By default, the client can open a tunnel to any ports the user has access to, but those ports can only be connected to from localhost on the server. So even if you don't have a firewall, external IPs can't connect to your tunnel (but your reverse proxy can, if it's running on the same machine). You can use GatewayPorts to allow binding from other IPs. This is useful if you want to tunnel arbitrary TCP traffic, not just HTTP through your reverse proxy.
Extremely good tooling/ecosystem. See VisualVM, JMX...
> Are these people who also made a ton of money via RSUs or Stock Options? If so, the answer is clear, right? They simply... don't have to work on things they don't care about. They have the money they need.

Eh, no, the answer is not clear. He is clearly writing about people for whom software was something more than just a means to make a lot money and retire. They used to care and now they don't. A large chunk of their soul is gone. And yes, they can now wipe their tears with $100 bills, but this isn't always a good deal to get.
You don't want people to drop dead from your experimental vaccine . As a general rule, the people least likely to drop dead from your experimental vaccine are young, fit, healthy people. Start with them. If they drop dead, well shoot. If they nearly drop dead, lucky you didn't start with the people who are one bad day away from the grave already.

An account seems mandatory to even download or use this browser, and that combined with what appears to be a lack of any compelling advantage above the existing mainstream browsers means it probably won't see much adoption. Even the site doesn't have a dedicated features page but simply a carousel that highlights "Links", "Lists" and "Feeds" with very little details, and apart from Feeds, the other two don't seem very interesting or unusual.

Oh and lack of tabs is probably not a selling point for the vast majority of users. And no mention of whether it is open source.
Ahh okay I see I missed the point about being able to cash it back out. That makes sense, thank you.
I am very sensitive to color temperature at night, and it really affects my sleep. E.g. Night Shift on OSX isn't enough for me so I still have the reddest possible setting for f.lux set on my computer.

One thing that always bothered me about Zoom is the fact you need to download their software. I prefer the safety and convenience of video chat through the browser. Downloading and executing software is too risky IMO.

But as things are going you need to have a very limited ideologically worldview to not get expelled. And I am not taking about silly things like _Hitler was nice_. Do you want recent examples?

If you mention the following (you dont even have to support it or believe it) and many people complain there is a big chance you will be banned because of hate-speech:

1. There may be genetic differences in cognitive abilities between the sexes

2. Intelligence is highly dependent on genetics which may be expressed differently depending on the population clusters. i.e. East Asian people vs Sub-Saharan groups.

3. The killed of unarmed, black males by the police is statistically insignificant in the US and it is dwarfed by other more important issues.

4. What China is doing with the Uighurs and what France is planning to do with their Muslim population is something very similar in spirit and can show the inability to host a significant muslim minority in your country without being exposed to separatism movements based on religion.

5. It is ok to say "only women" menstruate

And on and on and on. The list is growing every day.

Well argued point. However, I would counter that we should not do evil in the pursuit of good.

Let's find another way that does not limit free speech. It will be a harder solution to find sure, but the converse is too dangerous and nuanced to be implemented. It also gives social media companies undue influence over our democracy.

This still reeks of hypocrisy. For example almost any large and "reputable" outlet writes outright lies about drugs and their effects or use them to sensationalise the event (for example if there was an accident there is almost always a mention that someone had cannabis in their system even if it was obviously not related to anything). This is extremely harmful as it creates stigma for people who need cannabis or other drugs as a medicine and often they cannot access it at all because lawmaker believe what these outlets write. So when Twitter blocks someone because they think their reporting is dishonest, I don't understand why they won't block all outlets that spew lies.
You honestly don't see a difference between net neutrality and platform content moderation?

A major problem with rsync is it relies on filenames matching at the source and destination for an accelerated delta transfer to occur.

If a file gets renamed or copied, modified or not, rsync will transfer the whole file.

They added --fuzzy to try improve on this situation, but it generally only helps with unmodified files copied/renamed within the same directory.

You can build robust solutions around rsync that work efficiently most of the time, but pathological cases such as users having a huge file regularly regenerated using something like a $(date --iso-8601=seconds) filename (think mysqldump backups) are surprisingly common once you have enough users. Even if you can convince them to uncompress such files for delta transfer sake, something as common as a versioned filename prevents rsync from automatically finding the relationship for use in the delta transfer.
That school appears to be abandoning the exam in favor of GPA. I certainly don't know their own data on the utility of the test vs. GPA in predicting student success, but I do know that data with respect to college admissions: HS GPA is consistently as good or slightly better than standardized test scores.

Even if the balance is tilted the other way for this particular magnet school, it's quite inflammatory to claim this initiative is in any way similar the destruction of 1,500 year old religious icons by an extremely violent group of religious extremists.

The people who "rearranged their lives" to try to get their children into the school are also in no way entitled a spot. If this school is doing an excellent job teaching students, and that absolutely appears to be the case, then more energy should be spent on expanding those same opportunities to a greater number of people, not worrying about the speculative incremental decline in quality that might be incurred when switching from one set of entrance criteria to another.
It seems that COVID-19 is often passed at superspreading events. If the vaccine could nevertheless prevent people from superspreading then it might still have a substantial effect.

Does't this argument cut both ways?
The main thing I see in your experience (and also from other comments here), is that having a community is important, and having something fun or exciting to do at work, with that community, goes a long way to keep ourselves motivated.

An analogy to this is most people have chores to do at home, and if that's all they did at home and always by themselves, they'd probably burn out pretty soon. But if they could play video games with a couple friends, or have some people over for lunch once or twice a week, then the chores would be a lot easier to bear.
