Honestly, I don't know what you're on about. The term "culture war" is extremely vague and with an obvious negative connotation, but as far as I can tell you're simply complaining that politics are more visible in everyday life.

Can you succinctly define what makes a "culture war", and how that is different from political debate?
Camera's dont 'surveil' anything untill a crime has been committed. Only then do people search for active camera's and hope it was pointing the right way in daylight or good enough infra. China esp will boast camera's everywhere as its a dictatorship but with thousands of camera's that may or may not work its like finding a needle in a haystack. Every country has a different reason for camera's and china especially has a different purpose in mind. Its not like their courts or policeforces are working on the basis of innocent until proven guilty. Being surveilled isn't the goal here, its instilling fear of possibly being surveilled (Which is highly likely). Once you've fooled the population into thinking everything they do will seen by the highest authority, that's when you're closer to the holy grail of true power.
This would be great for prepping a fan base for a Kickstarter (or the like). I recently have had frustration with wanting a reminder for a product release on Kickstarter but all the company is doing is a single static page. Get your stuff together status audio. It won't stop me from checking for the drop regularly but I am an enthusiast about their products.
I'd think that this could be helpful for web comic artists for new merch drops and similar crowd fund campaigns. I know that it would be great from the fan's perspective at least.
I stand corrected. Take Polymer for example. I’m very surprised, despite all the negative commentary and controversy surrounding web components, that Google has remained loyal to their Polymer project and even developed it further into LitElement. I think what happens is that Google will bring an OSS project to market and then after a few years the community takes over, so there’s an illusion of “abandonware”. But it’s hard to say whether Google just moved on to something else first, for example from GWT to Angular, and then the community took over or if it’s the other way around. So there’s this implication that Google does abandon their projects or at least stops funding them even when that’s not really the case, but the implication alone almost becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. In fact, at work I suggested we even do a project with LitElement over React and the reason the team went with React was because they thought Google would abandon the project. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I agree somehow, in academia we often create glitter (we call that "innovation") to make us feel useful for civilisation. In the end everyone just fight for her/his own ass.

But you know, i'm more willing to write application for Earth Sciences (like im doing now) and living a misery than transferring cash & stocks with obscure algorithms..

That might just be stupid, maybe you're correct, that's just a story i tell myself.
Yes: often the case is that JS does some kind of data-fetching, API calls, or whatever else to render a full page (single-page apps for instance). With Github being mostly just HTML markup and not needing a JS runtime we could have definitely gone that route. The rationale was that we had a desire to use our product ourselves, to gain better insight into what our users do, and become more empathetic to their cause.

In short: we wanted to dogfood the product at the cost of some time and machine resources
I don't completely understand your second point there, because I'm not necessarily talking about full-system emulation. Just userspace emulation. So, why can't RISC-V be a sandbox? It's just loading a normal ELF into a virtual memory.

The first point is news to me, but I suppose you can build anything you want in an open ISA too. It looks like each object is like a shared object with an import and export table that connects things together, so the host would have to have a "modern" variant of a dynamic loader. It sounds like it would be painful to support that without an established way of doing it, that is standardized. So, guess I agree.
Worth thinking about how the scenarios converge when a few companies capture the commercial surveillance market and everything is streamed directly to a cloud storage account.
I started in late 2016. Initially, it was just during the weekends. I was a regular at the local coffee shop near my place in Boston: I'd go in with my iPad and some sheets of paper, spend 4~5 hours studying, while constantly consuming coffee. Then, I found a friend who had done a Bachelors in math, and we'd visit the local community college 3~4 times a week, and discuss general math and GRE problems on the blackboard for a couple of hours after work: it was a lot of fun.

In mid-2017, I moved to California and spent ~2 hours a day studying by myself, while maintaining a day job writing Haskell and Coq. Then, in late-2019, I quit my job and moved to India to study mathematics full-time (read: 4~6 hours every single day). I started meeting a professor at the local university once a week to discuss my solutions to problems in Miles Reid. We worked through Reid together. I also audited a course in algebraic topology at the university, simultaneously.

In mid-2019, I moved to Paris to continue studying part-time (1~2 hours a day) while working on a Coq project. After some shuffles, I found a professor I really liked, and we started working together. He wrote me the primary recommendation for the Masters program.

I hope the elaboration was more useful than two numbers.

You can cite TFA all you want. I disagree with his legal analysis, as do most lawyers.

His first paragraph is wrong. It's irrelevant who imposes the copyright protection scheme, only that one exists. And speaking as someone who has entered into an RIAA licensing agreement in the past, our license agreement with the RIAA did require us to put into place measures to prevent copying of licensed RIAA content, and I assume that Gootube has the same terms in their license.

The next conclusion is also wrong, since the RIAA is the authorized legal representative for its members, and prior cases have already established that they can act in this capacity.

His conclusion on the (a)(2)(B) test is not correct either. The sole purpose of youtube-dl is to download content from websites which do not make their content available for download through standard means of access. In fact, the whole point of using youtube-dl is that they constantly update the code to get around the changes that websites make so that content can't be downloaded. I would bet a lot of money that this will be the deciding factor if this goes to trial.

Microsoft is listed on the RIAA's members page. Neither Google LLC, its Youtube subsidiary, nor parent Alphabet Inc. are. The RIAA are threatening a member for a §1201 violation against a nonmember. That's ... weird.

I'm not sure why techies keep bringing this up like it means something. It's irrelevant that they are a member of the RIAA. Microsoft is receiving the takedown request because they are/were hosting the youtube-dl code through their subsidiary Github and legal procedure requires the notice to be sent to them.

MS is not the subject of a DMCA infringement lawsuit. Repeat: Microsoft is not the subject of a DMCA infringement lawsuit. By taking down the youtube-dl repository, MS's involvement in this matter ended.

Youtube-DL would be the target of the DMCA infringement lawsuit by the RIAA. If they keep working on youtube-dl from this point on, it's very likely the RIAA will file a lawsuit against the maintainers/programmers.
TBH, that's not a problem of LALR(1), or any of the other, more old fashioned methods. I've written an LL(1) parser generator that (generates a function that) parses modern awk, without semicolons, but with operator-less concatenation, and that can deal with tokens that can be keywords and identifiers (which is also needed for e.g. FORTRAN). As long as your language is deterministic, it can be expressed as an LR grammar, although legibility might suffer.

he fails to make a convincing case for its use

Incorrect. He notes that debt (finanial or technical) is useful in getting things done more quickly, but must be repaid.

Technical debt enables getting a minimal product or prototype out to gain experience and further refine design. It is specifically contrasted with bad software. Deficiencies are to be addressed later. And yes you're correct in that this last step is often omitted.

Maybe not, but the House and Senate Sergeants-at-Arms jointly supervise the Capitol Police, whose officers I'm sure either can deputize at need. I'm fairly certain that the Capitol Police both have and are intimately familiar with the use of the whole panoply of law enforcement gear.
Journey Colab – Psychedelic Drug Development from Sam Altman's Apollo Projects
I took your advice and looked at some financials. The total revenue/cost of revenue for Visa in their most recent info was 5.5. That does seem like a more than healthy profit margin.

For context, here is the same ratio for the FAANG companies and a few telecoms. I would've included some banks as well but they report their income differently so I didn't see an easy way to calculate the same ratio.
Facebook 5.5
Amazon 1.3
Apple 1.6
Netflix 1.6
Google 2.2
AT&T 2.2
Verizon 2.4
Comcast 3.2

Out of all these companies the only one with a better ratio was Facebook. However, if you look at total revenue Visa was by far the smallest of the companies I've listed. Based on this info I can agree that Visa could reduce their fees and still have healthy profit margins. If you want to use this as evidence they charge too much and need some form of government intervention you might want to look at Facebook first and keep an eye on the cable companies.
Obviously fake? The Biden camp hasn’t disputed the authenticity of the materials.

How is it “obviously” fake? Especially since most of the media refuses to investigate it — even if to establish that it isn’t fake? The media had no problem running with the very obviously fake Steele Dossier that claimed Trump got a golden shower on a hotel bed Obama once slept in. There was zero corroboration or legitimacy for that, but that dossier was used as a basis to obtain FISA warrant and ultimately led to an impeachment.

It’s “obviously fake,” because it’s politically uncomfortable, not because it’s actually “obviously fake.”

I've been using Java daily for years at this point. The only time I've had that sort of issue is when the program I was writing dealt with large files in memory, and it was solved with a simple -Xmx16G.
It does reveal that there's an issue that bothers people, but I'm not sure it needs to be addressed beyond explaining that Section 230--or something just like it--is what gives us the free and open internet we enjoy today.

Without it, there is likely no Hacker News, nor any other social media.

We should hoard that like the gem it is. Higher atomic-complex material that is not common like hydrogen can be useful for the future when we learn how to artificially increase the neutron count in a stable method.
This is why we need to take to space - we need new problems to solve. Asteroid mining and establishing a base on the moon seems a good near-term challenge.
> dedicated sub-oceanic lines (Hibernian Express is a major provider), even microwave networks.

This statement as a definitive "this is how it works" makes me think the person who wrote this doesn't really work in anything at the intersection of networking and HFT.

Much of the serious HFT for transoceanic stuff at low bitrates, but very important signalling messages, moved to shortwave radio with giant-ass aimed yagi-uda antennas several years ago.

You can go out to some places not very far from the CME datacenter in Illinois and find big, suspicious shortwave band things aimed at Tokyo.
I don’t know much of the architecture of VSCode but I was under the impression that Sublime and after that Atom were the ones doing most of the inventing and that Microsoft mostly copied it and did a faster and more stable implementation?

I think Dendron is on to something great here - it's not just about note taking, it's also about highly efficient retrieval of notes. I have poked around it, but I intend to take a deeper dive and think about how I can make it part of my process.
To be fair many parts can be replaced on laptops as well. I have replaced ram, wireless cards, hard drives in laptops.
The FSD "beta" is ridiculous. They act like FSD is done except for the edge cases. The whole problem of FSD is the edge cases. And, on public roads, edge cases are encountered frequently. This is a problem of targeting Level 5. There's no actual way to do it. It is counter to any other way of automating anything. Automation occurs by regularizing the environment. Every time.

Level 4 focuses on finding or creating highly predictable environments. This is what allows for automation. By regularizing the environment you can structurally eliminate the edge cases. It works like a virtual rail system. That works. That's the future. That's the way that automation itself actually happens in the real world.

Pretty sure the NY Post did not post raw data dumps of the laptops. Though many people on the left were clamoring for them to dump all the data to enable the emails to be verified.

Also, many used the absence of raw data to cast doubt on the authenticity of the information released by the NY Post.

On the other hand, although I find driving in SF much more stressful and confusing than London(despite being a native RHT driver), I never managed to get a ticket in SF. Every time I visit London I keep getting letters with some bullshit traffic violation captured by a camera for months after I am back.

Also having lived in London for 7 years, I can't say I felt safe walking at night other than in the very central places. Try visiting Elephant and Castle or Seven Sisters alone during the night.

Yes, dread. But it doesn't make the statement any less true. Myself and every single person maintaining that system felt exactly the same - it was a complete mess.
That isn't "mass-scale", because you don't have any users. Sorry, but I'm going to quote my original comment:

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

So...that is what I said, that the barrier to entering the market is enormous.
Isn't this argument essentially how the NSA justified mass surveillance before Congress, weasel-wording their way around the definition of "collection"?
For me it's primarily 2 things:

1. I have much better hardware in my house than any VPS can offer at a competitive price. This is particularly important for storage. Object storage like S3 is relatively cheap, but I just want a file system I can slap a static server (or whatever else I want) in front of. If you go for full block storage the price is way higher, and performance still isn't as good as a local SSD.

2. I hope the future of the internet involves more people self hosting over IPv6. I see tunneling solutions as an intermediate step to that world. If we make it easy for people to self host, it might even be able to help drive IPv6 adoption.
>Programmers notoriously use easy as a synonym for familiar and given how long Java has been around by now we'd have some evidence showing a major productivity advantage

Have you ever heard the phrase "the dog that didn't bark?" You appear to be using an absence of evidence to prove evidence of absence, not to mention an argument from ignorance (which is always possible in our post-Gödel world).
It’s a pipe dream. We don’t have enough capacity. People won’t get tested either. This issue would be mute if people wore masks and stayed apart.
FWIW, parsing and lexical analysis was the CS class I have used most thoroughly in my career. Sure data structures is probably the most often used, but other than hash tables and b-trees, not much of that class was useful. But lexing and parsing? Seems like every other project benefited by it either in handling configuration files, or log/sensor data, or some other need to convert what was human readable into machine manipulable.

That said, I really recommend the crafting interpreters work. It covers all the bases pretty solidly. If you want more depth and theory then get the dragon book (Ullman on compiler design) and read it afterwards :-)
The US currently exempts $11.5 million per person for estate taxes (IANAL). A family inheriting their parent's estate does not pay taxes on the first $23 million dollars worth of assets. Even then, taxes only apply on amounts greater than that exemption amount, so to have an estate tax take a significant amount of your estate income would require way more than $23 million. With your example its hard to claim the family is "middle class" when they're already homeowners and are inheriting well more than $23 million.
> Best camera is the one you have on you, well when you have kids you haul the DSLR around anyway.

I don't have kids, but wouldn't Live Photos be a better feature for reliving moments with your kids? A DSLR will never be able to do that, because the mechanical shutter prevents it from doing so.

For what it's worth, I've stopped commenting on HackerNews because any even moderately pro-Trump opinion is met by the downvote brigade.

In my opinion, interacting with strangers online is just a recipe for a bad time.

I'd cease social media entirely, but I'm not allowed to be social out in the real world anymore, and work is too boring to stay focused for an entire work day.

> It was a political choice by Microsoft to drop 16 bit Windows support in 64 bit Windows. This is the limit of their famous backwards compatibility -- still impressive, though.

No... it wasn't political. It was a deliberate design decision for technical reasons ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winprog64/run... )
HANDLEs on 64bit windows have 32bits that are valid whereas HANDLES on 32bit windows only have 16bits that are valid. So unless Microsoft wanted to completely negate the value of going to 64bit in the first place, e.g. expanding the limits on programs to be less restrictive, it was always going to have something to give.

Because 32bit code often "thunked"^1 in 16bit code they couldn't really support it because even in 32bit mode HANDLEs still have 32bits of valid HANDLE. So a HANDLE passed to 16bit code wouldn't round trip correctly due to truncation.

Nor is it like MS could emulate this like the OPs code does, because that would require rewriting applications that had already shipped from ISVs that don't exist anymore or magically understanding when an application has 16bit code and needs to get fake HANDLEs neither of which is easy in reality. In the end it was easier to just ship a 32bit version of windows for those that still needed that support.

1^ This was only possible because FAR pointers in 16bit mode are still 32 bits and thus size of a pointer was in effect the same. So they could operate in the same address space. In 64bit mode this isn't the case because there are no FAR pointers and segmentation.
It's always fun to spread new research around the community! I remember reading PwD and thinking it was just so cool as an algorithm, though the performance concerns were a bit of a turn-off. Still, I always like to talk to people about it because I just think it's such an elegant approach to the problem.

As for PwZ, I know one of the authors so maybe I'm a little biased, but I also thought his ICFP talk was quite good. It's here: https://youtu.be/fakSKvP9yaM?t=6180
Further, nothing in the story has actually been disputed yet Either. That's where i'm conflicted here. If it were a flat out lie, I'd say go for it, ban it. But as is stands, No one has denied, they've even gone as far as to say they won't deny them. We've had the FBI confirm the laptop. We've had one of the business partner Confirm the contents of the email. We know that multiple investigations are going on State / Federal level. This is news worthy, regardless of what side you're on.

There's 0 chance that they block any negative controversial stories about the Trump campaign or it's related parties.

It's a foolish place to stand your ground, when the outcome is going to be far worse for all sides than if they'd just let it die off naturally. The controversy itself has now given some on the right another reason to double down on their positions. It's divisive by the nature of the action.
