I completely agree. He notes that "Everything gets interpreted through this lens of, ‘Which side are you helping, and which side are you on?’" It's absolutely true that this framework is unhelpful for comprehending the situation, that it makes it difficult to forming a coherent philosophy, and and that it makes it impedes the process of learning about and sharing complex ideas.

But there is an obvious outcome where this gets published, people realize that Biden has flaws, and choose to elect Trump instead as if he did not have flaws. There is no chance of an outcome where people realize that Biden has flaws and elect a different candidate without flaws instead. If Greenwald was actually concerned about presidential emoluments clause violations, nepotism, and corruption, it would be unwise to publish a hack job against the candidate less guilty of these infractions.

Now, I do think that awareness of progressive causes and systemic shortcomings were advanced during Trump's presidency; perhaps Greenwald is playing the extremely long game, hoping that in 2024 the system is able to make a more permanent reform? But it seems more like he's angry that the game is rigged and is destructively flipping the game board over instead of playing - please don't do that, Glenn, I live here.
Neither V nor B are ratified, nor are they part of the Unix platform standard (and hopefully never will be).

V is close, B is not. There are exactly 0 chips or even IP on the market with standard B (which is really a family of sub-standards), but there are chips with pre-standard V (alas, a few of them aren't compatible with the current draft - the perils of running ahead).

Overall, yes you are right, this is most useful for people interested in seriously evaluating RV64GC and/or porting code. It's a one of the necessary steps on the path to more adoption, but not the last one.

If hiding behind the election of George W Bush is your defense... you need a new lawyer.

Clinton did destroy tens of thousands of emails that were under subpoena by the FBI. If you or I did that, we'd be jail for eternity. And yet...

I think this is the spirit behind "lock her up" -- the fact that there are two sets of rules for the powerful and for the rest of us. This is true for them all: Trump, Clinton, Bush and Biden.

Expecting them to prove a negative in a conspiracy case is laughably absurd. Mueller said that there was not only insufficient evidence for all claims, there was zero evidence for many of the others.

> But "just having food and shelter" is by no means the thing to be overcome. Or do you think that food and shelter just appears like magic in front of everyone?

Yeah, essentially. We need so few people dedicated to this line of work because of the wonderful scientific, technological and logistic discoveries of the past century. The fact that we have people that starve today is a failure of culture and politics and nothing more. With such a rich soil in which to build an advanced society, the fact that we haven't produced the creativity to produce a more advanced society is not exactly alarming. It says more about the human mind and condition than anything else.

Uhm, we already do all of that stuff that you mentioned with a tiny subset of the population working on all of it, hence the concept of a 'service' economy. We could replace 'service' with any number of alternative concepts that could advance humanity far more significantly.

> i think nobody is arguing that you want the best bang for your buck

Bizarrely, the article and several commenters here are saying precisely that money launders don't want the best bang for their buck.

> but there's a reason why someone will just flat out offer 20% over asking

But nobody is doing that. The article seems to be assuming that, commenters are assuming that, but where's a single piece of evidence? If offering the asking price guarantees you the deal, offering 20% more is insanity. Nobody would do that.

You seem to be claiming that, somehow, overpaying for real estate... diminishes your chances of getting caught? (And several commenters here are assuming that too.) But it doesn't. Why would it? What would the mechanism even be?

I swear I don't understand where this idea is coming from, that overpaying for real estate does a better job at laundering money or something than simply paying market rate. It doesn't make any sense.

Power. You can profit from power, but you could also genuinely believe that the world will be a better place if only everyone did what you said. In both cases you need power.
Your analogy doesn't really apply. These publications are all top of their field reporters. That's like saying 99% of scientist agreeing that vaccines work doesn't mean the majority is right.

In a normal population you may be right, but in a field of experts, I'm happy sticking with the majority than with the one random scientist who believes in satanic rituals telling me hydroxychloroquine works.

Unusually moderate winter? Climate Change.

Just like in real life, I think the answer is not prevention but accountability. The only thing stopping a random person from bashing in my head on the sidewalk (besides moral decency) is their understanding of the consequences. They can do it, but they'll go to jail for a long, long time.

Similarly, the answer on the net is not to stop bad actors from being bad. It's to punish and hold accountable those that do bad things. That avoids the "thoughtcrime" problem, and makes space for actual freedom.

The only thing we have to lose is privacy for domain owners. Seems like a trade-off worth considering.

Objectively, SuperCruise is better than Autopilot. CR noted that the performance of SuperCruise on the self-driving tasks was almost as good as it was in Autopilot.

The big difference was that the safety functions on Tesla were subpart. As CR rates products based on their overall scores, this resulted in SuperCruise taking the crown.

TLDR: Ratings aren't just about one feature. Everything matters.

I think it might be better to say that's not beyond our current level of scientific understanding (it doesn't require any exotic materials or new physics). However it's likely beyond our practical engineering capabilities.

Early spaceflight up through Apollo was done with an army of humans with slide rules and rivet guns. We did it because there was a political imperative to do so. A lot of new technology was developed as a result. But it ended up being unsustainable because it was too expensive.

I think the key to making O'Neill cylinders feasible will be large scale outer space resource mining and in-space manufacturing. Both will require advanced robotics and AI. We could throw a bunch of money into developing that ... or we could just wait for the technology to develop here on Earth and then apply it to space.

Likewise, as much as I'd like to see a Mars outpost in my lifetime, it would be a lot cheaper and safer if we didn't rush it. Maybe by 2075 we'll have cured cancer and radiation won't be an issue, and we'll have self-repairing life support systems and one of those automated medical pods from the Alien movies.
> A search engine from a non-advertising-supported company is great news.

Currently, Apple actually gets money from Google for selecting the latter as its default search engine. Not only Apple will lose that money but would also need to dump money in developing + maintaining the search engine.

May be their goal is to just provide a more privacy-sensitive search but I'm a bit cynical about that motivation. So, the economic model is still unclear to me.
I've heard some anecdotes that multiple monitors do reduce focus though[0]. I'm still on the fence though, the alternative to multiple monitors is often lots of workspaces, and switching between those can often feel just as jarring as looking to my left or right.

I agree. But how would you do that?

Facebook, Reddit, Imgur, Youtube, HN, SO, and others are where all the people go because it's easy and, well, all the people are there.

Those are your potential readers and customers. So you go there, as well.

I remember having to visit multiple forums and buying stuff directly on small websites. I needed to have credentials for all of them, but that was the hardest part, really. I liked the experience more.

Reddit et all are the same, they're technically a collection of smaller forums, with the important difference being that they're controlled by a single, big company.

I think it's a dangerous thing for the future of the Internet and information in general. As Google and Facebook demonstrate, one ban and you lose potentially everything digital that you "own" (don't get me started on that).

Anyone would be insane to take that risk, but most people don't even realize it exists.
Sadly, this solution makes the situation worse for people who browse sites that aren't trying to run IDN spoofing because punycode URLs all look the same.
Honestly - without a vaccine - I'll never be comfortable again. If I happenstance get covid, recover with no damage, develop immunity, and can't pass it onto others - I'd feel fine.

One of the big reasons is that I do a lot of social dancing. Washing your hands and what not isn't sufficient there. You're getting full body contact with a lot of heavy breathing. Sadly - I think social dancing will be dead for the next few years because this. Might be fine - it'll probably get a lot of the weirdos out of the scene.
>Is the implication here that people build on top of ecosystems because they're incapable of implementing things themselves in plain JS, and that lisp will make them capable?

Not exactly, but Lisp (specifically Common Lisp but also other lisps) will make far easier to implement whatever is missing thanks to the various features that enable very quick development, quicker than JS or Python. And interfacing with C code is also easy too. Interfacing with Java libs, even easier (using Armed Bear Common Lisp.)
Even better: Rather than all the red-tape, you can just use an indicator between `$` and `$$$$$` to indicate how much the subject paid for the certificate. This is better because it establishes more than just two (five!) tiers of credibility. I briefly considered adding a sixth tier, but I think that would be distasteful.

I don't know. Watch Tucker Carlson's Bobulinski interview. He's got nothing to gain from this and comes off very credible. He accounts messages from the Biden family, even Biden himself that are very troubling. Not to mention the "plausible deniability" line chortled by his brother Jim. It deserves an accounting from the candidate. The company they got money, the CFEC was controlled by the CCP.
This doesn't sound legit.
Greenwald is a highly respected investigative journalist, I wish him the best on his new endeavors.
Not to mention Reddit doesn't crash when HN links to it, whereas it seems like his blog does.
Hey just noticed this didn't get much traction, just wanted to say I appreciate you sharing. Watched the youtube video and subscribed.
OP's point is that there are extra complexities which can lead to you shooting yourself in the foot in an attempt at further visibility. These trade-offs must be considered and taken seriously, and now the author will have to reevaluate his position. Maybe we'll get a post-mortem reflection from them.
Who remembers when Photobucket went paid? All those how-to articles, for everything from installing performance parts on cars to repairing your toilet, became useless without photographs.

Imagine all the information that's been lost that was posted to private forums and they were killed off, databases crashed, etc.

At least with USENET your stuff was all over the world. And archived by Deja, eventually.
The dichotomy between Greenwald's complaints (censorship of his article despite contractual guarantees, Reality Winner cover-up, what editors forced Lee Fang to do, lack of reporting of Assange hearing, and "lack of editorial standards when it comes to viewpoints or reporting that flatter the beliefs of its liberal base") and the editor in chief response in the NYT [0] (he is a "grown person throwing a tantrum") is frightening.

Turns out old Usenet content is particularly hard to find nowadays...
Agreed. This is indeed how it works. Changes in company culture trends somewhat lend to the perception of newer programmers that they hold competency beyond what they do, which contributes to the overall problem of software being hard and an unstable industry.

I used to not be able to code, and now I can. By that I mean I used to not grok the purely abstract domain of encoding meaningful computation and only the concrete domain of when I type a certain sequence of keys in ${languageX} and press some other stuff, stuff happens.

Now that I better understand the abstract domain the concrete domain of programming languages translate, I am much better able to pick new tools up and understand whether or not they should be picked up.

QEMU is shockingly excellent. Do not extrapolate, but one piece of code I was working on ran at a 1/4 of the speed in RISC-V under QEMU compared to the host. That's a really amazing result.
In addition to what the poster said, which is really spot on in its generalities, I can share: my opportunities come from (1) my former coworkers and (2) direct pitching to RFPs.

Re: (1), when the poster says "people skills," he means you will not source work from engineers. Additionally, you are not likely to source work from most big-company product managers. It's all about who is in a position to work with vendors in the first place. These will be "ideas" people, people you meet at business school or business-school-lite multidisciplinary design schools, people who themselves may have limited execution capabilities but have the "people skills" to... tell you what the big company wants and how to format your docs and pass their vetting process. People who aren't hung up on just telling you like it is - people who aren't pedants. People who are the opposite of most engineers.

In this respect, startup and big SV jobs will not lead to drowning in freelance work. Go to an exciting grad school, work at a large philanthropy, work in politics, work in research, consulting, etc. - things where you primarily interact with businesspeople who have vendors.
The web interface of Reddit seems mind-bendingly bad. Seems like you can't just view an entire thread, you have to look at it in a newsfeed type stream of other threads/stories, and when you want to drill down to a particular branch of discussion it has to reload the page and you lose visibility of the rest of it, all the while being blasted with obnoxiously large adverts for offensive stuff like Borat. The web just gets worse and worse... how did we get here?

"Simple" isn't a Jira alternative; not being "simple" is Jira's entire raison d'etre.

If you want "simple" there are already a thousand and one options available, but alternatives to Jira are extremely rare. This is how Atlassian captured the market.

So in my opinion you should really change your marketing, as it is it really gives off a false advertising vibe.

The reason is computer science. In computer science, a character is simply part of an arbitrary alphabet. Zero or more characters form a string. A string can be input into one of the several types of automata - e.g. fininte state, push-down, Turing machine, etc. Automata accept or reject strings or loop endlessly (in the case of Turing machines).

None of this has anything to do with human readable text, except that accidentally it is possible to represent human readable text with a single byte in the case of English and since C was written by English speakers who where familiar with ASCII encoding as part of their job, "char" became synonymous with "byte." And so strings of bytes were used to encode English text and "string" was a useful but very leaky abstraction for English text. How leaky? C strings are NULL terminated because with a Turing machine there are no guarantees that the input terminates and this is useful for switching telephone networks since the switches have to work continuously even though individual calls end, i.e. the end of a call is not the end of the stream of input for a network switch.

Conflating "string" with "text" is a source of endless clusterfucks. The most notable being Python 2 strings versus Python 3 strings and all the code that had to be rewritten because of a dumb design decision that could not be questioned under the governing model of dictatorship. As opposed to Perl where the difference between strings and text was understood and handling text with regex's meant that parsing an evilly constructed regex might take a really long time was an engineering tradeoff for the finite time of the Unix regex which lacked backtracking and look ahead...because the Unix "regex" was a regular expression in the sense of automata -- as such the regular expression is equivalent to a finite state machine.

All of which probably expresses an opinion I might hold about Swift if I looked at it closely, but I haven't because I know enough about it to know that it does things that are hard to reason about in the way I tend to apply engineering reasoning.

But that's me, and if it gets the job done for you, then that's great. I just don't want to try to figure out something that was designed that way.

I'm more familiar with Alaska and had a 130˚F delta between the high and low air temp. The garages I'm familiar with were always insulated and contained the furnace. Even if the garage was unheated, the excess heat from the furnace and insulation would keep the inside above freezing. Also, the insulation and lack of windows would keep the garage cool in the summer.
