I believe the US has gotten more toxic recently, in part because more and more liars and charlatans have technology enabled bullhorns. They flood feeds with garbage content that takes sober headed folks too long to wade through. It's not all political, but this is happening on the left and the right.

I had a similar experience, though in my case I didn't come to the series until EV:O. My ambitions to create a TC (total conversion) plugin far exceeded both my abilities and persistence. I did have internet access and the escape-velocity.com DiscBoards (before they were merged into the ASW forums) were one of my first online communities. They were also where I first started learning HTML, in order to have a cool "signature"--I'm not sure exactly how much was allowed, but I do recall working on one that involved animated GIFs and a table to reassemble a sliced image, so I'll apologize a few decades later to anyone else that I may have annoyed with my enthusiasm.
No one would have standing to go directly to the SC over it. Theoretically any citizen of the state, and potentially the losing candidate would have standing to bring the case, but they'd first have to go through the lower courts (as the Trump campaign did in PA), before going to the SC.
This is one of the things I missed about AltiVec from the PPC days. They really designed it nicely. It was a different set of registers that worked normally. The permute instructions were very useful! When trying to port AltiVec code to Intel SSE at the time, it would often come out worse because of all the constraints. You couldn't intermix floating point and SSE code because they used the same registers. There were stalls if you did as it switched back and forth. A friend actually hired Intel engineers to port his AltiVec code to Intel at the time and even they couldn't make it work as fast as it was on his PPC Mac. So I'm hoping the Neon instructions bring back some of the elegance and sanity we had in the PPC/AltiVec days.

Make sure no code base would take more then a month to rewrite. That way it can be rewritten. But some tests could probably be reused, so tests should not be too intertwined with the code, tests should work independently from the code it tests.
I agree, these new metaphors survived the test of time. Probably because of it's flexibility and ability to change to user requirements.

Flat design is kind of like an extreme version of this. It's easy to build and change when needed.
Would be interesting to automate retrospective analysis across every comment posted on HN and chart language trends over the years.
Couldn't agree more. I've noticed this many times in my 16+ yrs into the industry. Not recognizing this is one of the primary reason line managers letting an employee (esp those who are involved from the beginning) go, if they are asking for a raise, thinking they are easily replaceable. It really costs the company.
I haven’t read your piece yet, but I searched the page and didn’t find any mention of DEC VMS’s DCL, or Symbolics Genera’s Dynamic Listener.

If you’re talking about how to design a command line for usability, you really need to become familiar with them, as usability and extensibility were explicit design points and they both work very differently than (and much better than) even modern UNIX.

They should have come up in whatever literature search you did prior to writing your piece. At least you can easily investigate both of them via preserved documentation and emulators, if you don’t have access to hardware on which to run them: There’s an x86-64 build of OpenGenera floating around you can run on Linux, and you can run VMS in SIMH. And Kalman Reti did a great demo of Genera on YouTube.
There are 3 scenarios:

1. Someone who is radicalized digging deeper

2. Someone who is radicalized changing their mind

3. Someone who is not radicalized getting radicalized

#1 is bound to happen, #2 has no chance of happening, so at this point, preventing #3 is the way to go. Keeping these already radicalized people on Youtube achieves nothing. On the other hand, keeping them on Youtube gives these them a huge platform to spread misinformation. Newsmax nad OANN don't have anywhere near the reach Youtube does, especially outside the existing bubble.

They are allowed to, but they should be criticized for being hostile to the concept of free speech. Especially since nobody believes YouTube endorses what is posted on Youtube videos.

Separately, their monopoly should be broken up. We can't let a company dictate all political discourse in the country.
In some sense it's still a weird state of affairs. I tried to compare it to the fact that you can't find fault in 'how your neighbor came to decide on his vote', but the federal election is a two level system and they do have to follow the minimal procedure that, as the suit alleges, the legislative and not the executive has sole power in making the rules. Are you disenfranchised if your neighbor doesn't follow this law? It's not a sensible comparison anymore.

I consider myself one of those people who would comment about the design of hammer being stuck and more people should, that is how we innovate. The real world is always changing and evolving with time, so are technologies be it for computers - UI that allowed for the desktop GUI paradigm in the 90's to today where Alexa, Siri can help us do lot of those tasks just by commanding over voice. We need to certainly move on and innovate the user interface for desktop GUI or for other devices.
> does this mean we only need to vaccinate about 50% of the US population to reach herd immunity?

It depends on the efficacy of the vaccine and the transmission rate, but the numbers can be higher than 90% vaccination rate to achieve heard immunity.

Yes. Socially liberal and fiscally conservative is textbook libertarian, which is not inherently right-wing, though many libertarians do lean that way.
You can install ARM and x86 Homebrew side-by-side. It works really well.

When I set up my M1 mac I compiled as much as I could from source using the ARM Homebrew, and for everything else I installed it via the x86 Homebrew.

This is good news for everyone. Countries which can’t afford to or don’t have the expertise to thoroughly test and review multiple vaccines can take a cue from the ones that have approved them. Supply is a different issue of course.
I can't see any benefit to even pseudo-anonymous political discourse on open mainstream mass-broadcast social media in a free society. If your message has a reach on the order of hundreds of thousands of people, then you should be able to stand by what you say.
>Is it really that selfish to say "Hey, please endure some temporary mild discomfort with no lasting affects, in order to protect others?"

For some people, including me, its major discomfort and they never asked for protection.

You are trying to force your interest againts other people in interest, yes that is selfish too.

How is it a troll? It is true i find mask inconvenience and uncomfortable. Risk of seriously sick from covid ? very very low. Not sure what else to say.

> Kibitzing outside of any expertise that I have, here, but thorium reactors are generally regarded as a significant nuclear weapons proliferation risk.

Also outside my expertise, but everything I read said the opposite. Wikipedia (which gets true/false questions wrong half the time) says (emphasis added):

Uranium-232 (232 U) is an isotope of uranium. It has a half-life of around 68.9 years and is a side product in the thorium cycle. It has been cited as an obstacle to nuclear proliferation using 233U as the fissile material, because the intense gamma radiation emitted by 208Tl (a daughter of 232U, produced relatively quickly) makes the 233U contaminated with it more difficult to handle.

To be clear you're claiming that the virtue of personal freedom is making choices that have adverse affects on others? I'm not familiar with that being a part of any philosophy.
I hope they learned some lessons here and seek to accelerate lifting the ban on the Johnson & Johnson and Astrazeneca vaccines. Work they can do to get those approved in the next few weeks are what can end the pandemic in Q1.

In the US, given by Feb, there will have been about 100M infected, It really only takes about 100M vaccines to hit herd immunity. Between Pfizer, Moderna, J&J and Astrazeneca it's reasonable to expect/demand 100M out by Feb.

The FDA's approach of "moving slow to give confidence" cost lives and does not actually build confidence. Allowing this vaccine to be taken by the willing was among the easiest decisions ever made, and their pretending otherwise was absurd. It would have built more confidence if they said within 24 hours of the EUA filing "hey public, this was an easy call. We already looked at all this data over months, cut no corners. This isn't a borderline approval, this looks amazing."
Maybe Raleigh/Durham?
You are trying to intentionally muddy the waters here. Vaccines, masks and who won the election are not "sweeping opinions you don't like". People have actually died due to the anti-vaxx movement, leading to +50% Measle deaths in 2019. These are hard facts and these decisions are a matter of life or death.

No one is blocking opinions. Trump has failed to prove election fraud in over 50 cases so far, and the safe harbor deadline has now past, which is why Youtube has now put this rule in place. It is now confirmed that Biden has won the election, and anyone claiming otherwise is intentionally lying. If they had proof, they would've shown it in court, where there are real consequences, not on social media where anything goes.
How will the logistics work? Who gets access to this vaccine first?
Yeah, I scoffed at first reading it but by the end I was impressed. Definitely agree with the point that metaphors are less relevant in a time where many people know how to use computers. A virtual assistant with the power of a command line could be very useful (though you'd probably want to double check their work before executing it.)
Let the market sort it out. If the market is there, the competition will be good for everybody.
Awesome! By the way, if you ever monetize using advertisements, might I suggest using time-based bidding for keywords similar to a billboard, that way you really don't have to track anyone to make ad revenue, too.

How to Grow a Test Case Management Tool (USD 12K MRR)
> You’re ignoring that you getting vaccinated is not about you, but about protecting others.

No I'm not. I'm not at all worried about contracting covid. At my age and health, the science is very clear that COVID-19 poses almost no risk to me. The only reason I'd bother with a vaccine is to protect others.

But protecting others doesn't just mean protecting others now. It also means protecting others in the future. Bad government is a _serious_ risk.

> I don’t know what country you live in, but many countries have the same assessment of many vaccines.

I wasn't talking about science in relation to vaccines. I was talking about science in relation to the entire policy. I do not believe my government (Canada) is making decisions based on science in its use of emergency powers in general. That's pretty clear by the fact that they're unable to justify so many of the decisions made with actual numbers and models.

Emergency powers are dangerous tools. We hope they get reserved for situations where the benefit is worth the risk. But after seeing how badly, and unscientifically. government has handled the entire pandemic, I want to see those emergency powers further restricted, so they aren't so easy to use in the future.

edit: Note how Trump has told the FDA chief that his options were to approve the Pfizer vaccine or resign: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/12/11/trump-steph...

What a terrible precedent for science.
What is new proposal for a hammer, may I ask?
I would argue that YouTube is behaving _more american_, in that they're a private business that's doing whatever they want within their rights (taking down content they deem inappropriate).

The government isn't censoring YouTube. Any Trump supporter that believes that YouTube is over-moderating is free to create their own website from which they can spawn whatever garbage content they want.

Spoiler, though: They won't. It turns out the only reason most nutjobs on Facebook/YouTube/Reddit amounted to anything at all is because they were given a free megaphone and millions of listeners. I'm not sure why private businesses have to allow such behavior?

Until slander and libel get enforced on social media sites, which would solve most of these problems anyway (I think), why does anyone think these websites _have to_ cater to every single subculture? If I were at the helm of any reasonably sized social media company I certainly would not want my site attached with fascist propaganda.
Yeah that's a job that's almost as bad as yours!

Pushing these radicals onto radical websites only further radicalizes them. That should be an axiomatic fact, yet nobody seems to understand it.

Oh everyone understands it, but there's a trade-off you're not acknowledging:

1. Letting these people stay on twitter, YouTube, or reddit gives them an audience to recruit. The people in these toxic groups then may be less radical on average, but there will be more of them overall.

There also will still be highly radicalized members, and the sympathy of the less radical gives them support that could allow them to do more damage.

2. Quarantining them to Gab or Parler or whatever denies them the recruiting opportunities. The dead-enders who migrate will become more radicalized, but their numbers will be smaller, and perhaps decline over time, due the the lack of new blood.
The vaccine probably won't make any vaccinated a guaranteed superhuman which 100% breaks the transmission: even with 95% efficacy, we know that 1 in 20 will get the symptoms, for the start, and we know that the virus has to replicate in the body, at least in the upper respiratory pathways, before the immune system fights it down, also in the bodies of the vaccinated.

However, those who get the vaccine, by lowering their own chance to get sick, will contribute to the well-being of everybody: once most people are vaccinated the number of cases needing hospital has to eventually drop.

If the amount of virus produced in the body of vaccinated drops just for some percentage, the chance of transmission in some occasions will somewhat drop, even if it won't be zero. That will help everybody.

Still, there is reasonable probability that there will be a period of time when it will be hard to explain to many that they should keep behaving like potential virus carriers even after they received the vaccine (masks, distancing etc). If they do that then they will contribute to the earlier end of pandemic and directly and indirectly protect some vulnerable. By still behaving like potential carriers they will reduce already mentioned chance of transmission and contribute to health of everybody else. It's somehow non-intuitive. Also non-intuitive: some percentage of all vaccinated will with such behavior directly protect themselves too, simply because even 95% isn't 100% -- that 95% means one of 20 still gets sick, on average.

Then it won't be the first time during this pandemics that "dumbing down" the message isn't the best way to communicate.

Whoever cares about those who are most in danger, and even whoever just cares about the economy, should once again try to understand the nuances and then explain them to those who don't.
Fck no! Definitely not. Not only is the amount of misinformation from both governments and the medical industry regarding Covid widespread, but everybody seems to ignore the fact that many more people are suffering and dying from issues much much more devastating, relevant and important to combat than this so-called pandemic that I find the current state of affairs extremely mind bugling.
