> Basically, you've decided the fact checkers are somehow malicious actors, without any particular evidence of that actually happening, and vaguely labeled their speech as bullshit. Seems like nonsense[1] to me.

^ This is you stating that fact checking isn't used by malicious actors and there is no evidence to show it is.

I just demonstrated with evidence that it is.

You are now trying to twist your way out of this by equating "fact checkers" (IE major organisation presenting opinions as facts that are not up for debate) and the act of correcting misinformation as one and the same thing.

Twisting of words is one of many dishonest tactics used by progressives in debate and it's the same one you are attempting to use right now.

For the record, I'm good at pointing out dishonest tactics and people who use them in debate, I wouldn't continue.

Also while this is going down this path, I'm going to bring up the narcissists prayer so we can refer back to it later if you continue with this approach.

> Reluctantly, he forwarded the question to their technical support, who never answered.

Because they don't know off the top of their heads and would have to test it to be sure which is a huge amount of work they don't have to do.
On the other hand, we have basically one single model per year to support. That hardware is used by millions and usually users keep it for 5 or more years.
Then everyone moves to the next-cheapest region and the cycle repeats.
You could indeed see yourself as being "fact-checked". But this doesn't mean the person attempting to persuade you of their point of view thinks of themselves as a "fact-checker", or popularises themselves as a source of information that is always more correct than any other.
Something to remember, just because you are financially independent doesn't mean you should allow a company (or anyone) to take advantage of you, although I have seen this pattern fairly often. The company has already shown they are taking advantage of you, and you not speaking up is quiet acceptance of their behavior. People asking for what is correct, just and fair isn't being squeaky, it is respecting that they have a value and expect it to be fairly compensated. Of course there are exceptions when someone is just being a pain in the ass asking for more money every 6 months, that is a squeaky wheel which will eventually reach a point they are forced out as the value to benefit will be too great.

I am in my mid 40's and find that I value companies based on how the treat employees, vendors and customers, generally in that order. If a company does the first two correct (employee's & vendors), the third is almost an absolute given. So for example, if a company doesn't update employee wages to maintain a fair market for the employee then the company is taking advantage of the employee. Startups have some leeway if someone accepts equity in place of salary, but they don't get a free pass to abuse people by paying 30%-50% of market while giving someone 1% or less of diluting equity in trade. So to me, if a company is willing to overlook someone who is executing just because they aren't raising their hand asking for more, it means to me the leadership lacks integrity. If they know someone is paid less than their peers yet produces the same or greater value, they lack integrity.

I do think you need to raise your hand and speak up, then based upon the outcome choose your path by either accepting they maybe made a mistake/there was an unintentional oversight or they lack integrity and you should expect if they do this to you they are doing it in other places. Good people do make mistakes, as long as they admit it and address it is all anyone can ask, but if you don't raise the issue you'll never know if they just screwed up or are just taking advantage of you.
Apple have a FOSS kernel, one of the three remaining web renderers, CUPS, and a bunch more smaller things. They’re not the most religious of FOSS companies, but it’s a bit unfair to say they don’t play well in the places that they play.

If you take FOSS to mean only GPL, then yes, I get your point.

Not Quite Nostalgia for the 1980s
IMO it's not an unreasonable notion to have. I don't think its out of the question that they would change course and lock it down. I'm not saying it's likely or probable, but I don't think it's an unreasonable concern. In any event, it annoys me that the parent commentator is being dismissed out of hand and downvoted for expressing a legitimate concern.
The problem I have with all the lens add-on stuff for phones is that you still have the tiny sensor and now you've complicated the camera that you just have with you all the time. When I want something more than a smartphone, I have an APS-C mirrorless camera that fits in my pocket (with a 40mm equiv. lens). And is pretty compact otherwise for mid zoom ranges.
I've been struggling with nvidia on my laptop for quite some time, but I definitely wouldn't say it took debugging. There are clear limitations, primarily that on older chips the gpu never fully powers down when not offloading, but that was pretty clear from the start. And that's on Arch, using a port of a tool that was made for Ubuntu. On newer computers, it works even better. No matter what, there isn't much room for debugging, be that a good or bad thing.

None of the mentioned alternatives work on raspberry pi 4 (running on armv7l kernel), including lsmem.
I had problems with wayland the first time I tried it with an AMD gpu as well, the solution was to simply install a new kernel. I was running debian stable so the old kernel wasn't exactly unexpected.
Cant a $2 trillion dollar company fund this by itself??
I’ve had serious hay fever (allergic reaction) to a shop selling perfumes. I’ve also had the same reaction to a single person wearing too much perfume (covering up bulimia) which also ruined my day (I had to go home from work).

There must be people that get full blown anaphylactic shock.

But people get really offended when you mention anything negative about the invasiveness of their perfume or makeup!
How are you measuring "improved cognition, better health and overall feeling"?
The R5 is a pro-tier camera, and Canon established its market-leading position through good technology and exceptional customer service. They would be throwing away a stellar reputation for little gain if they didn’t try to make the camera work the best that it possibly can within its limitations.
I don't remember, the thing which really helped me click at least the bayesian interpretation was if we have A --> B and B, then A is more plausible and probability reasoning is a way to quantify how more plausible A is now that we know B is true.

Chapter 5 is also a doozy in terms of explaining some of the things going on currently.
AMOS! I swapped my copy of Easy AMOS with a school friend's copy of AMOS Professional. It set me on a path to becoming a professional software engineer. (Later, I swapped AMOS for Amiga E. Anyone remember that?)
> Don't use GPG for email except when attaching secrets.

Don’t even do that. Find a different way to send those secrets.
The R5’s whole body is magnesium already.
I like how thinly veiled the doublespeak is these days:
“Let me be clear: Productivity Score is not a work monitoring tool,” he added. “Productivity Score ... focuses on actionable insights about the ways in which people and teams are using the tools so you can make improvements or provide training to further your digital transformation.”
There are e.g. Dell XPS "developer edition" which are shipping with Ubuntu and have near 100% hardware support (I think there's some issue with fingerprint reader).
> Instead of developing opinionated software with a simple interface, GPG was written to be as powerful and flexible as possible. It’s up to the user whether the underlying cipher is SERPENT or IDEA or TwoFish.

IMO GPG doesn't owe its lack of widespread adoption to its flexibility, learning curve, code cruft, forward secrecy, or anything of the sort. Its various usability issues do not preclude the creation of an opinionated and easy-to-use GUI front-end.

Corporations like Google and the government want to read your email. They could invest in private email communication but they choose not to. Arguably the network effects of widespread adoption of Gmail/Yahoo/etc even stifle folks pushing for GPG adoption. While Gmail claims they no longer "read" your email contents for ad purposes, your ISP most likely does[1], and no doubt Google still uses the data for something.

According to Gilens et al[4], large corporations greatly influence policy decisions, and now we have the entire Western world trying[2] (and sometimes succeeding[3]) to effectively outlaw private communications.

FastMail made a (thin) argument against using GPG[5], citing various problems (like losing key = losing email, and email search becomes hard). They also wax on some "transmit your key" nonsense. However, none of this seems to stop ProtonMail from making excellent use of GPG.

The OP envisions a future, better GPG where we "start fresh with a different design philosophy" that includes things like forward secrecy. IMO global adoption is equally as important as the technology under the hood. Even if we started with GPG and upgraded to a new protocol later, the tooling, integrations, and ecosystem would benefit.

I'm a little disappointed how light this article is on what should be done. It seems like the conclusion is "this will happen again." Even the public dependency audit the author is calling for wouldn't do much. Why would third parties be better at planning for systemic failure than amazon's internal teams?

This probably isn't the best use of chaos monkey, though I'm not sure. There's probably room in here somewhere for better tools for modeling failure.
I had an older friend that worked at CF when I was a teenager. He taught me a bit about relational databases and some other important stuff as he was one of the only developers I knew growing up.

I remember him telling me how I was wasting my time building in php/MySQL since CF was the future and serious companies wouldn't be looking for php developers. Glad I never pulled the trigger and bought their expensive IDE.
A game must be more than that.
My experience is I'm more likely to remember my dreams if I got woken up unnaturally, so maybe it's the other way around? You only remember your dreams when you wake up tired?
You are right. I am used to look at the inflation-adjusted chart like (https://www.macrotrends.net/2324/sp-500-historical-chart-dat...). This is another context and I failed to mentioned this.
In principle this sounds pretty ideal. Sleeping, or resting, when you need and not force an arbitrary societal schedule on yourself. But, I'm guessing that you don't go into an office nor have a lot of meetings? Do you live alone or does it work with a family around the house?

What's the "equivalent" of repeatedly ripping their sign out of the ground and stealing it?

These people feel violated. I've seen people on HN used the word rape to describe how they feel about something done to them against their will by, say, Facebook.

It gets used metaphorically that way routinely because we don't really have another good word for "I feel egregiously violated because of something someone did to me without my consent or against my will." We use it that way without it involving physical contact.
From a brief skim, it looks like this introduction has the same problem as every other introduction to geometric algebra that I've seen: a complete lack of practical examples.

Where is there an introduction that shows you how to use geometric algebra to write better code to perform calculations? Or maybe to do word problems, like when we teach kids algebra or calculus?

Even in a supposedly practical book like Foundations of Game Engine Development, Volume 1, there are code examples throughout the book, except for the chapter about geometric algebra.
I’m someone who never really internalised nor had use for any arithmetic, let alone mathematics, at all in life. And yet I see mathematics like this and I’m blown away at the apparent beauty of it.

I look at equations I just _want_ to understand and navigate in my mind. But without knowing the path to get there I’m stuck at zero.

Take the Riemann hypothesis for example. I wouldn’t mind understanding all the notation with examples and exercises for each part of the notation so I could bring it back together myself.

There’s beauty here and I want it in my head.
I noticed that enabling compression on zfs made a huge difference with the source size of some of my largely text file petitions. I never turned on deduplication because I don’t want to bother with the memory overhead, but I bet that would help even further.

Oh noes, so no obscure "pijul rerere" to learn!? I mean, very nice!

I see, that's what that field is for - I tried it briefly when pijul had the interim name and wondered why it was listed and editable in the record editor.
I've been on the 'net for over 35 years, and every scheme I've seen has either been impenetrable for some genuine users, or eventually compromised, including the one you have there. I had pretty much exactly that scheme at one point, and it got compromised. If yours hasn't yet then you're lucky.

Personally, I've found that obscuring my email results in greater losses than gains, and having excellent filtering is the better strategy.
Also, while I can see various synthetic tires being an issue, is vulcanized natural rubber actually a problem? It’s starting off as tiny particles which should degrade fairly quickly.
No. As if she was doing the sign language equivalent of putting words in someone's mouth. It's not like viewers would know the difference. But the other caretakers did and they've spoken out about it.

There's no doubt Koko probably understood some things, but not to the complexity that Patterson tried to portray it.

And the thing I was getting at with the nipples was Koko was apparently asking to see people's nipples all the time but in demonstrations Patterson would always play it off like Koko was saying something completely different and more intelligent than it actually was.
I think This is how IBM "deal" with their older employees (designing scores to make them easier to fire, that is)
There was a post here on HN a few months ago where someone went into how the camera manufacturers are going to be challenged by phone manufacturers coming up with better and better algorithms to enhance the quality of pictures that are bumping up against physical limits such as lens size and pixel density.

Unless you live in America, yes, I do. Stick to your own house. And, maybe learn to read what people actually write, rather than putting your own spin on it. It was clear to me what was meant as well, and you didn't get it.
The Twitter link is just a poll to survey interest. If you read further in the thread, he suggested the actual fundraising would be on Patreon.
Are they really assholes? Competition is important to progress and I like that their M1 release has shaken things up so much. We should hopefully be seeing similar CPUs released in the future, now that Apple has shown a glimpse of what's possible.

Until then I'll be enjoying the M1 because even if they're assholes, they're assholes who can make a computer I actually like using.
A layered approach to testing microservices
"here’s the secret to success in just two words: Ship it"

"After you finish the first 90% of a project, you have to finish the other 90%."

I feel like this conflict is reconciled today by releasing the first 90% and the second 90% as updates.

Notably, QTest was released on February 24, 1996, followed on June 22, 1996 by the full Quake release.

I like dark mode because it looks better, health claims or not.
The Univac 1100 computers I used in college used the Fieldata character set. I only recently learned that Fieldata was the name of a whole program of the US Military in the late 1950s to create a standard for military and battlefield information processing. The Fieldata character code was developed for that project. I've read that Fieldata was one of the major influences on ASCII.

I may be presuming too much, but it sounds like perhaps you less need to learn to program and more need to learn to communicate with one another around technical topics. It's likely that (again, presuming here) if this is your first time doing this sort of thing, you're not able to provide precise (even if non-technical) feedback to your developers and likewise they may not be very good at taking non-technical information and translating that into actionable technical output (i.e., code and bugfixes).

Maybe try looking at the curriculum for product management courses first? I think they might give you quicker, more effective benefit than trying to build up knowledge of computers (especially from such a fundamental level). You'll spend a lot of time learning things that, while beneficial eventually probably, won't help you right now.

Something I created for my own use because many of my unit tests rely on external resources. I would get rate-limited all the time when I use watch.

Making Playstation 1 Modchips (2018)
Some people are photophobic and some people use dark mode because of migraines. Some people avoid bright screens after a certain hour for various reasons.

And dark mode is often done poorly. If you could just flip the colors, you could use that phone feature that does that to get the same result but you can't. That typically looks like crap and works poorly.
What do you do when the Republican fact checker repeats what the leader of his party tells him to say even though it is fact-free?

A majority of Republicans believe Trump won the election (!) because that's what Trump is saying. There is little reason to think a Republican fact checker would contradict Trump. Indeed, any fact checker who did would be ostracized as a RINO, much as has happened with Fox News since they acknowledged the outcome of the vote.

Partisan fact checkers would only give the Republican party a safe space to continue to lie about matters of objective fact, such as who won the last election.

Frankly, the fact that 'what is truth' can be framed as a partisan issue in America speaks to much, much deeper societal problems than organized fact checking can fix. This is an attitude that is much more in keeping with that found in countries like Albania or North Korea rather than in another advanced democracy.

Yeah I think it’s more often that FOSS that doesn’t play well with Apple. It’s understandable - Apple keeps a lot of desirable software for itself - but perhaps unfortunate.

Federici has said in one of his interviews that Apple wants people to hack on the M1 machines so I’m hopeful that they will be more open than on IOS.

All of that said, I won’t hold my breath.
