Yes, if you can get them to stop using jargon at all, that would be ideal. Jargon is, by definition, meant for communication within a discipline, and inappropriate for interdisciplinary conversation.

That said, translating jargon to English is a skill, and I wouldn't expect these developers to be able to just flip a switch and turn off the jargon. OP is going to need to gradually transition them to better explanations. A good way to do that is to constantly ask for definitions to terms you're unfamiliar with, and use the non-jargon versions yourself.
> In your hypothetical scenario, wouldn't the business owner just invest some of that profit into growing the business, thereby increasing productivity?

Sure, but imagine the alternative where the slaves are paid workers instead: then the same money that you use to invest into your business in slave scenario is instead spent by your workers on other businesses, which then use it to produce other things or invest in their businesses. Again, slavery, instead of increasing total wealth, just redistributes it in favor of slaveholders.

Ah, the Paradox of Tolerance and the Age-Old Quandry of "Is unconditionally punching a Nazi consistent with liberalism?"

The fact is, you can't try to stabilize or bring stability to the system by cutting off or ignoring the "fringes". The entire system is always seeking an equilibrium, and the increased relevance of the fringes indicates the direction the Overton window is shifting in. Cutting things off on one side just guarantees an unsympathetic schism forming on the other, where the people just barely this side of the schism point are left wondering whether the folks on the other side may have had a point. Rinse repeat. Authoritarianism in all forms tends to capture the public imagination in times of crisis. The issue right now is magnitude, and if you keep pushing the censorship button now, there's going to be a loss of quite a few reasonable people previously amenable to putting their differences aside.

For those without ShowDead on, there is a user, AnHonestComment, who has apparently run afoul of some moderation policies, and tends to get his posts nuked from orbit (likely by the user base) as a response, I figured that it was worth pointing out the irony of his attempted statement "This is what HN wants," sans the combative tone with regards to the moderation team.

If you take a spin through his comment history, it's not terribly unreasonable aside from a serious chip on his shoulder with regards to the moderation team.

AnHonestComment, if you're still reading this, you aren't necessarily shadowbanned or anything like that, you're just inviting downvote bombing with the constant references to the moderation by the community.

You seem a decent sort, and I know as well the harrowing plight of the conscientious objector. There is a place here for it, even if it might be well advised to build up some karma first. It shouldn't be that way arguably, but it is, and it's what we've all got to work with.

Does it need to be? x86 had every opportunity to become a locked-down, exclusive standard too, and it grew the way it did, into a cross-vendor standard, for a reason. Why will a similar trajectory not apply to the M1?
I have experienced the opposite. They hardened and took longer to wear.

It's such a pity we live in such a Dark Forest, so many silent quiet predators out there, & so few willing to bring their light, willing to contribute. Being the only prisoner in the dilemna doing the right thing seems like it sucks a lot. Thank you for soldiering on & getting us all so far as you did.

I'm glad there's good people at the helm. I don't know how to avoid uncomfortable personalization, but this really was a very notable incident for me, where on Twitter you talked a bit about how you didn't intend to blog or talk or converse with people about what sounded like some fairly large changes that you had in mind.

This is such an absolutely critical quasi-mystical level of the stack, in an area that's totally essential for people to get themselves online in a meaningful capacity, yet one which so few folk have much experience with. I'm glad we have new maintainers, but I still feel the loss of some greater brighter alternate reality where more people are able to better build their own stable online presences via the alternate-history version enhanced/remade version of MetalLB that, it feels like, no one will ever know. I can't imagine how stupid & terrible trying to support MetalLB must have been, I can't imagine what it feels like to have giant powers that be take & take without investing back, but I also just think of that brighter future, that unknown better model. Surely we'll make more goes in the future, more tries, to make better ways of bringing traffic in, & it seems sure MetalLB will continue to be one of those chief ways, but those paths will not be touched with the intimate grace of experience you, the creator's long trekking would have brought.

I've thought about trying to beg access, beg for some time to try to document the learnings, lessons, would do-overs over MetalLB. But I don't think I can bring enough critical review & questioning to bear, I don't think I'd ask the right questions at the right times. I'd hope time might soften some of the hard feeling, but I also knew I'd be trampling on a year+ old declaration, a declaration essentially that the world did not deserve your insights.

I'm sorry for punishing your good faith good reply with this post! I write it sort of as a confession, but the crime is the confession, not the thought. This has been a big event for me; apologies for being un-easy with it. Mostly, thank you thank you thank you, for having carried us all so so so very far.

Yeah, my suggestion is not a good one. I just wanted to vent it because I've had the same thought myself. It is fun to imagine though.
You could solve some of this by having a small script as a fallback. PHP would be my goto; it's pretty fast for simple things.

Another alternative is to have your generator create an nginx config with the redirects. (W3 Total Cache for Wordpress does something like this)
Even though I enjoy competing for the leaderboard, the creator is pretty up-front about the leaderboard being Not The Point and advises you to ignore it, and from that perspective the midnight release time makes more sense.

>> Then behavioral analysis was performed as previously described during 10 days, and finally, animals were “sacrificed” on day 31.

Is “sacrificing” a common practice after test is finished? I’m probably not supposed to be bothered by this, but still kinda feels sad. On the other hand the discovery is fascinating. I guess it’s all part of the deal.

Android is technically "open source and free", but all the profit from the Play Store goes directly to Google (i.e. The 30% from app store purchases completely skips OEMs like Samsung and funnels entirely to Google).

Hence, why they're willing to offer the OS for free and why they push so hard for it. They make far more money from app purchases.
That's not true. PGP's problems with message verification are endemic to the protocol; see, for instance, the MDC. This isn't just a known problem with PGP, it's probably the single most notorious design problem in the protocol, so it's surprising to see this response.
A subsidy is a kind of regulation.
I've had some ideas for inventions or companies over the years. They fail before they ever get off the ground because I don't have the flexibility to quit my stable job (or I was a little kid). They likely weren't good or unique ideas anyways.
You literally have to actively choose to look at the leaderboard. And you have to make your account link to your profile. So if you are capable of ignoring a thing that has no impact, and of not willfully publishing your connection to the site, you're in the clear.

Since only the first 100 get points, it's really easy to ignore the leaderboard. Odds are against you when (at least in the early days) 30-50k people are competing.
pass works great on Android. There's an app for it: https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S...
Which is what I've done when installing Linux. Am I losing performance? Power efficiency? Features?

It also makes dual booting trickier if you don't plan it beforehand.

It frustrates me that there's not that many reviews that cover this kind of stuff, so it's hard to avoid silliness like this when making a substantial purchase like a laptop.

Exactly. It hasn't been this big of a meme since the 60s.
> Apple has already laid the architectural groundwork, a chip with similar performance numbers can probably be commissioned with ~50 million.

I think you might be two orders of magnitude off here. A class leading general purpose compute chip on a cutting edge process? I don’t think $5 billion to produce working chips is unreasonable. If it were only $50M to produce A14/M1 level chips, Qualcomm would already have done so.

Cerebras is cool, but they are not on TSMC 5nm and don’t have to design general purpose silicon, where you have pesky things like huge reorder buffers or 8-wide decode blocks, which are not seen in any other production CPU right now.
Not Slack, but this is what I did with colleagues last year (I first participated in 2018, got a group in 2019). It was fun, moderately competitive (between myself and one other guy, the rest were just solving problems but he is always competitive, and I like to goad him), and we got to teach some of the young guys at the office things they should've learned in their CS education (but somehow didn't).
It lets you add passwords without needing your security key. So that is nice.

Otherwise, just the metadata that gpg already had to let you know what key to use.

That is, what do you gain by not using it?
The darknet howtos tend to emphasize that you should not use a real email address and not to use an online key generator. The online key generator you mentioned itself recommends not to use it and provides links to programs and howtos.

PGP is actually the best available tool here. Something like Signal would involve way too much meta information leakage.
Presumably the same thing that happens if you put Linux on an Intel MacBook, which has always been possible. I don’t know what that is exactly. But in my experience, Apple does tell everyone to back up their data before handing a computer in for repair; there’s no guarantee the computer will come back with disk contents intact. So assuming you’re backed up, you could just wipe the drive and temporarily install macOS if it becomes an issue…
I think every time of day has its beauty and advantage, so I generally don't follow a strict sleeping schedule.

Recently, thanks to my living circumstances, I generally stay up working through the night until sunrise, then sleep until about noon or a couple hours past, get up and start my day, do a couple hours of work, take a break for a walk, do some housework and socializing, and then around midnight, plus or minus midnight, start getting into working.

Throughout the day, I may feel tired, and that's when I take a break and lay down, sometimes cat-napping, sometimes dog-sleeping, and sometimes taking a legit nap.

Other times I may follow a "neo-traditional" schedule of getting up early in the morning and going to bed early-ish at night, maybe with a nap or two thrown in.

I may go to bed at dusk and then get up for a couple hours in the night, as people used to do commonly before artificial lighting.

If I am camping, it depends on the weather. In colder weather, there's a major advantage to sleeping during the day in that the sun keeps you warm. It's easier to stay warm through the night's cold awake and alert than tired and asleep.

If the weather is nice around the clock and there's plenty to do, I may only sleep a couple hours a night, the excitement of new experiences carrying me. Rainy or gray weather typically means sleeping more.

Quite a few ayahuasca users believe they are taking a sacred medicine which lets them communicate with god(s), cure their illnesses, speak to their dead ancestors or the spirit of nature, solve a host of personal problems, see the world in a whole new way, or give them magical powers.

Not really comparable to smoking cigarettes, drinking caffeine or alcohol, which virtually no one believes any similar effect and are usually used for much more mundane reasons.
Middle click to jump to the clicked point is very common in X11 toolkits to the point where it is considered a "de facto" standard (some applications that implement their own scrollbars, like Firefox, will even use that functionality just on X11 even though technically are able to do that anywhere).

On Windows you get the same functionality with Shift+Left Click. You also get to see which applications use Qt since it isn't implemented there :-P.

I don't care if you're convinced of anything by me. You're obviously convinced of whatever ignorant beliefs you have about the US, already. That alone disqualifies you to talk about the origins of my country. Now, run along and spread your mistaken beliefs to someone who cares. I don't care what you think about the US, because I live here, an, you, apparently don't. You have authority to speak about the history of my country, or what its become, until you've lived it.

I worked for a production company that went from 100 grand worth of Grass Valley Switchers/Digital Picture Manipulation (DPM-700) down to one Video Toaster 4000 on an Amiga 4000. While I missed some of the cool stuff we could do with the expensive equipment, we were mostly doing local TV commercials and infomercials. So the Toaster ended up working just fine. I barely knew anything about the Amiga at the time other than the thing was rock solid until it crashed one day.

We had to load up the entire box of like 60 floppies of Toaster software, the Amiga itself and drive to some hole in the wall in St Augustine Florida to have one of the last remaining Amiga gurus to help us fix the machine. He put a new hard drive in it, but we got like 40 floppies into the Toaster software install and it failed. The dude HAD the software on site but told us it would be wrong for him to use his own floppies to do the install. We asked him if there was ANYTHING he could do. He eyed the twisted pair network card we had and said, "I could be persuaded for that". We weren't using it... as far as we knew, it was just another BNC on the back of the computer case. So, he lowered his "morals" and we got our box fixed. Great times.
The drive failure comes from the burnt discs. Pressed discs (PS1, CDROM, etc) have pits and a reflective layer that reflect almost 100% the light from the laser. Burned discs have a thin layer of ink. They simulate those pits when they are burned. But since the light has to pass through a layer of ink you lose about 30-50% reflectivity. Those early lasers weren’t designed for CD-R. And to compensate for the loss of reflected light the CDROM controller would pump up the light output. And eventually burn out the laser. And one day you’d be unable to read discs. Then you’d hop on eBay to find hundreds of replacement laser modules for sale because it was super common
Lower speeds allow for more reaction time across the board. If a crash happens it is because at least one vehicle was going too fast.
I completely understand the desire to build something practical that's your own.

I just built a small web application framework that I can build some basic personal apps on top of. Just like the author's, it's "shitty". It lacks features, doesn't handle edge cases, isn't particularly secure or performant.

None of that matters. It's locked up behind HTTP authentication and it's for my use only. It has exactly the features I desire, and none that I don't. I understand it top to bottom. It was fun to write and extend. It serves my needs perfectly. I didn't have to fight with, or conform to someone else's notion of how software should be built.

You are right, I am mostly estimating based off upgrading existing architectures with insights obtained from M1. 50 million may be enough for the raw manufacturing cost for one batch but research and development from scratch would not be cheap. I am basing the cost off the assumption that there are already experienced chip designers at Intel/Qualcomm who are willing to take the opportunity to build a startup with a 50 mil budget.
FTR I've had far more negative physiological effects from caffeine consumption than any reasonable helping of magic mushrooms.

Caffeine withdrawal symptoms are up there with a heavy drinking hangover that just won't go away during which I'll contemplate ending it all.

I think it's important to realize "drugs" is so ambiguous and overused it's basically meaningless. Rather than this clear black and white dichotomy of non-drugs vs. drugs, good vs. bad, safe vs. harmful, non-hallucinogenic vs. hallucinogenic, there's a lot of nuance and every substance has its own risks vs. benefits to be considered, understood, and respected. This extends well beyond "drugs", the same can be said of food, exercise, sports, relationships... it's life.

New medicines come from researching different plants and chemicals. People regularly go out into forests in Africa and South America, find a new plant, and then explore it for medicinal purposes. It's an actual profession.

There has been a ban on exploring certain plants in the last 50 years, and with that ban lifting, suddenly there is a constipated rush of research about these plants that would have otherwise been done slowly over decades.
