It is wild! I was struck looking at these agaim after so many years how similar they are in spirit to modern equivalents - I actually find the physical versions a bit more engaging. Both are so much better too than can be achieved in a physical classroom with just a whiteboard.
I think you're confusing technocratic liberal weirdos with "the far left." Look up the World Socialist Web Site's long-running feud with Google, or read any Jacobin article about free speech/tech. There are very few genuine progressives who endorse policing "misinformation."
2020: A year that tested our resilience
Kaliningrad's original population was German. After WW 2 the red army displaced them, and Stalin settled ethnic Russians in the city. So unlike the areas around it, it's truly made up of Russians.
Why would you not just set the location of the backup and swapfiles to a fixed place in your system?

Try this:

set backupdir=~/.vim/backups,.
set directory=~/.vim/swapfiles,.

It will only write in the current directory, if ~/.vim/backups does not exist, and the dot is just there for portability, so nothing breaks when using my vimrc on a new system.

Edit:
Upon actually reading your blog-post, I understand at least one reason - my options may not change the behaviour of a file not being written to the correct inode, so you have a point for some build systems.

I actually learned rather much reading this, thank you for sharing!

The long term studies say our political leadership largely ignores the desires of the electorate. This make the problem more likely that our political leadership likely understands the second order effects, but ignores the long term effects chasing short term gain.
That's cool if you know exactly what you're searching for. It gets less useful as the amount of information you have drops - you basically have to do multiple searches and hope one of the terms you're guessing will be a hit. Having categorised folders on the other hand means you can narrow it down and be sure that your search process is "exhaustive".
With my JSON library parsing directly to C++ data structures, I was seeing an M1 mini getting perf as fast as a 16" MB Pro with i9. It was quite nice to see.
I think this is a reasonable stance. Personally, I don't have a problem with the in-city, shared roads having very low limits.

I have a huge problem with enormous super-highways having 60mph limits or lower.

Some of the roads out where I live were engineered with going 90+ in mind. In fact, there's a tale of an engineer going such speeds and getting out of a ticket by explaining that to the judge out here.

What was the speed limit? When you're over 15 miles from the city, it's 60, but pass a turn in the road and it's 70.

From what we know, supposedly Dead Hand is usually switched off except in times of crisis, and it has humans in the loop that turn the launch keys, along with repeated attempts to contact the Kremlin.

In my mind it makes things safer because there's less pressure to launch a counterattack before any missiles actually hit - revenge will be had.
I don't really get the gnashing of teeth about Google withdrawing the "Unlimited". Google never promised anyone "Unlimited" anything, the details of the contract always said "we reserve the right to modify this in the future".

People who aren't data hoarders, who contracted with Google in the spirit of the contract ("more storage than you will need"), are still getting what they signed up for. People who contracted with Google not in the spirit of the contract ("Haha, unlimited, huh?") are also getting exactly what they signed up for - the letter, rather than the spirit of the contract. Google is keeping the spirit of the contract with people who took them up on the spirit of the contract, and Google is keeping the letter of the contract with people who took them up on the letter of the contract. I cannot see any fault in this.

Thanks. So Open Library implemented that because there's no interoperable, universal concept for literary "works"?

And then each of Goodreads, Amazon Retail, Ingram, et al. would likely have their own internal system for isbn identification and grouping accordingly?

And I guess that means similarly, there's no isbn-analog for a series or interrelated set of "works"?
Well the fact that Kaliningrad is part of the Russian federations means that they did pulled an Ukraine on Poland and/or Lithuania.

I'm not an expert and by any means I'm giving opinions here but I thought Crimea, South Ossetia and Abkhazia were territories were Russia at least has an historical or cultural excuse to claim. Again, not that I agree on those claims. On the other hand Kaliningrad was never part of Russia. It belonged to Poland and then to Germany. It was annexed by the Soviet Union in 1945.

I guess the reason Kaliningrad exists is that Poland and the Baltiks were in no means to fight for territory and Germany doesn't care.

I’m not sure where you live, but here in Ohio cycling is definitely not “well established”. When you compare infrastructure it’s not even a competition. Don’t want to deal with bicyclists breaking laws? Get them off the streets onto their own dedicated infrastructure. Then bicycling actually would become well established.

“Big bills” do nothing to stop drivers from breaking the laws, but go on thinking that it will change cyclists.
`set confirm` is another great option to turn on all the time. It will save you having to retype a command with the `!` added.
Oh there's more than that. I've done some work in the past in some video games, and used to get paid through a Paypal registered under a pseudonym.

But since now Paypal requires your name, DOB, SSN, banking info, to simply transfer money out, the money is stuck.

I can't use the money to pay for things, because they require you to link banking info DESPITE the fact that I have cash balance. So basically, I had cash that I couldn't take out or use.

Now finally, they are figuring out how to steal that money.
> cyclists simply cannot keep up with posted speed limits

Do you not understand what the word "limit" means?
I have wondered for quite some time what the impact of unlimited QE is on the economy but never found a good answer. I think I found it now. QE will be one parameter in the large equation that is the global currency system. With eroding grip/leadership in the world, the US is ceding the leadership position to either China or creating a vacuum. This accelerated in the last four years which unfortunately led into the pandemic too. So on the whole QE is just facilitating the case for the dollar to become less powerful.
I have astigmatism and nearsightedness

And I did what burkemw3 did: Astigmatism-correcting glasses only.

But it was very difficult. I went to an optician to buy them, and they told me, I would not need them, so they won't sell them to me. When I am nearsighted, all my glasses should correct nearsightedness fully.

And to make it worse, they were not able to measure my astigmatism. The first one I went to measured 1.5 D cylinder and gave me such glasses, but that was a little blurry, so I went to several others and measured them and then said you have 20/20 vision, so everything is perfect. I finally found one who measured my eyes from scratch without taking the value of the old glasses and then he found 2.75 D cylinder, leading to a 30% better vision than 20/20.

However, some of the opticians had wavefront eye laser scanner. That is a really advanced method to measure directly how the eye affects lightwaves rather than trying different lenses. The devices measured that I actually need a 3.6D cylinder. But the opticians always discarded that measurement, because it was not possible that I had 20/20 vision if my glasses are two diopter too weak.

Anyways, since they did not sell me computer glasses, I bought them online, and just put zero for spherical value of the prescription. Although there seems to be something wrong, since I am always seeing sharper on one eye than the other. I also tried buying a stronger cylinder online to check it out, but that was not possible since the online sites did not sell any cylinder stronger than three diopter.
One huge error HN made was telling people that downvotes can be used to disagree.

If a view is so rehashed that it was disproven in the 90s then surely a simple cut&paste would do your work for you and the ignorance would be challenged. Instead people simply downvote, thinking that this is approved and useful, without saying anything and it turns the site into an echo chamber where any questions to the standard view is unreadable.

Because there are no limits on downvotes a few righteous groupthinkers can and often do downvote every post they disagree with, letting 2-3 people make a thread entirely ideologically "pure". This ease of driving a post invisible versus actually putting words to screen mean that the baying hounds always win.

I admit I'm controversial in many of my opinions, but I posted what I thought was a very bipartisan post in the voting thread, about how we should fix the holes (and things that appear to be holes) in the system so that people trust it more next time and I was downvoted. The only acceptable message is that there wasn't a single fraudulent vote cast. And we don't know that. We hope, but the very existence of SD cards that can go missing, internet connected machines, and so many other things, means we can't verify this.

Without misused downvotes someone would have called me a trumper, and I'd deny it, and my point would remain, and maybe other people would argue the points. It'd probably even get support and encourage more people to reconsider, if not reject voting machines in the future. But with disagree-downvotes it's just hidden because it's not immediately on point with the groupthink.

This is why politics seems so radicalized. Moderate views get censored.
I have never considered disabling hjkl, quite an interesting idea.
That is the least “hacker” title I’ve ever read. You have a computer, you do something about it...you don’t just whine. You are the somebody.
Line numbers are great, until you try to cut and paste. But then again, VI/M wasn't designed for GUIs.
I switch between enough different projects with different coding styles that I have shortcuts to change between them:

set expandtab
set shiftwidth=4
set softtabstop=4
function Spaces(...)
if a:0 == 1
let l:width = a:1
else
let l:width = 4
endif
setlocal expandtab
let &l:shiftwidth = l:width
let &l:softtabstop = l:width
endfunction
command! T setlocal noexpandtab shiftwidth=8 softtabstop=0
command! -nargs=? S call Spaces(<args>)
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead ~/src/linux/* T
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead ~/src/git/* T
autocmd FileType html S 2
autocmd FileType tex S 2

This sets the default to 4-space indents, but lets me do :T to switch to tabs (and does so automatically for Linux and Git which use that style), or :S N to switch to N-space indents (and automatically switches HTML and TeX to 2-space indents).
I am looking for 14 days quoted in the parent comment and not finding it.

> Actually, most of the spread comes from superspreading events.

I don't know if we can say this for certain at this point. I was very firmly on the "superspreader" train some time ago but I find it hard to believe given the spread we are seeing in places like Canada where most of what we thought were superspreader circumstances are now illegal. I am sympathetic to the idea but being overconfident about this stuff is also not helpful.
One of the most horrendous UX design picks in Windows 10, I immediately switched to ProcessHacker the moment I saw it.
This also requires a DHT though, it's not as if hyperbeam can work completely out of the box without third party systems. You'll need someone to run your default server somewhere either way.
Some does, some don't, is not a new normal, is mostly for power players. But anyway, none is even near at the scale and reach of what the US does. And for most of it they don't even need to hack, just handle a request for the customers data to any US based service (ask Lavabit about that).
Yeah, that's what the "exam mode" is about: to lock down access to the calculator memory, and advanced funtionality like CAS. From what I read, it:

- Disables memory access or erases it

- Disables data transmission

- Lights an indicator

- Can't be disable without physically connecting another calculator or computer. I think some even beep.

Well, of course back then I did an extensive job of using the built-in memory for my "cheat sheets", even building programs with submenus for quick access, and some automated functionality. I don't feel like it really hindered me later. At least, it taught me more about programming :)
I think there are many issue with this take. Brave is a web browser, putting itself between the creator and the consumer is what it does, by definition. It's the User Agent. In the case of Brave Today, however, only a preview of the content is shown; when the user clicks, they are directed to the source itself (unlike AMP or some other pervasive middle-man).

Serving RSS content doesn't require permission; the public feed itself is permission. It's created for the purpose of content syndication (it's in the name). Brave shows only a preview of content (an image, headline, title, date, and maybe a sentence or two from the feed). For the actual content, the user has to go to the resource itself.

As for measuring their Brave user-base, publishers were already in a tough spot. Brave reports itself as "Chrome" to these sites. Ideally, the publisher shouldn't need to know if their users are in Chrome or Brave. This feature (Brave Today) doesn't change this relationship in any way.

Your hypothetical (if Brave starting copying and distributing, verbatim, websites) is definitely terrible. But that isn't even remotely close to what's happening here; Brave Today shows less content than search results on DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, or beyond.
All the metrics you've given are either subjective or inconclusive. I think the claim that firefox is less secure than chrome needs to be backed by a metric such as the number of critical issues and how long they took to be patched. Otherwise it sounds as mere speculation.

That's the reason there was the national mandate to drive no faster than 55mph on any road in the entire United States.

You're welcome to drive no faster than that speed on any road you like. On several of them, please, please don't drive on any road that has a higher speed limit than 60 to keep the rest of us safe, though. And have your hazards on, so we can reasonably get around you.

Also, just as an aside, electric cars exist now.
Oh really? I'm sure it's just a coincidence that after getting repeatedly browbeat Apple dramatically ramped up iPhone production in India and Brazil? That's just one example.

I guess we will know for sure - if they slow or reverse (especially in India) under Beijing Biden that will be confirmation Trump was successful at least at moving manufacturing away from China. It was a start. I don't expect it to continue with the establishment Democrats and Republicans back in charge. Yippie.
It's probably related to lower blinking rates. There are software utilities to remind you to blink at least every couple minutes.

I got an Oculus Rift2 to play Beat Saber for mini-fitness breaks and end up with a sweaty face so frequently wash/rinse during my workday. Eyes do seem less tired these days though I didn't think about it just until now.
Cafeteria constitutionalists.
Fwiw I know of more than one person promoted to senior based primarily on 20% work.

I'd agree that it becomes rarer at staff+, just because your goal is to make cross Google impact and that's difficult in the context of most 20% work. But even there I know of people at that level who do 20% work. I'm not sure that they're any rarer than 20% at lower levels.
These seem a bit too opinionated to me, mostly because of 'set noswapfile'.

For me vim-sensible [1] has a more useful set of defaults (although more than five lines). Also, the readme of that project lists benefits of using a universal set of defaults.

The problem with search engines is that people think it's just tokenizing the search query and then doing an AND query for the words, but then the fun starts. First of all, there is specific search theory that one has to dive into and have the Knuth tomes nearby. Then, different languages, thesaurus, taxonomies, "did you mean". And we are not even at indexing speed, replication, performance, etc. There is absolutely no chance you would be able to create and maintain a reasonably good search engine part time.
If Gurlic employs Clean Architecture, delivering its community to users through a web app or non-browser client is a decision that should be deferred or designed such that you could switch without rewriting most code.

> fully half the participants got a fever from the vaccine

A mild fever, with one participant getting a moderate fever. Very small sample size, so it's not clear how that compares to the Pfizer vaccine. That appears to cause severe enough fever on occasion (~0.1%) that "who pays for the rare precautionary hospitalizations?" could be a very a real issue in countries like the US without public health care. The % of temporary side effects reported is significantly more than most other vaccines.

As you say, the fevers are probably just temporary side effects of the immune response and the supermajority of people recover very quickly (~24hrs or less). But it is an issue that needs monitoring - the trials really aren't that big, so it'll take quite a bit more data to know if those vaccines are safer than covid itself for the not-at-risk population.
They kill and maim pedestrians at lights.
Pedestrians behave unpredictably. And they're often pretty isolated from their surroundings these days. I don't really disagree with you but the driver has probably also seen a pedestrian obliviously walk into an intersection like that.
Current Googler -- AFAIK, 20% time is still a thing. You just have to clarify the project with your manager, just like you did before. I utilized it to write the Mendel development tool (mdt) for Coral boards here: https://pypi.org/project/mendel-development-tool/

On my current project, I have other Googlers spending 20% time to help the team I lead as well.

20% is very much still a thing here.
> The only question you should be asking yourself is: is Bitcoin actually valuable or is it a pure speculative bubble that's bound to burst sooner or later.

You could say the same thing about the US stock market
Thanks it's good to know.
Probably a mix of things.

People who appreciated the technology initially but changed their minds seeing it being driven by what people often consider a toxic community who hides behind the pretense of technology to make money.

People who think Bitcoin itself, despite the technology, is no good for it's stated initial purpose of being a peer to peer electronic cash system. Whether that's true even with additional layers like lightning remains to be seen perhaps.

People who either missed out on the rise, sold early or lost money trading it in the past. Frustrated or bitter perhaps, wanting to be right about Bitcoin so much that they've shut out any possibility that it will succeed.

And I guess people who don't quite understand the technology, purpose or possibilities Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies bring to the table.

And obviously all the "tether scam" people.

There is positive and negative to cryptocurrencies, same as there is with the internet itself. Do we wish for the internet to fail (if somehow that were even possible) because it enabled mass manipulation of people through social media? Well maybe some people do but I think the vast majority take the good with the bad and some are working to try and solve these problems.

Will Bitcoin fail? I don't think it can at this point to be honest. Genie is out of the bottle, interest is there and it's getting more legitimized every day, whether it's through the direct actions taken by individuals, companies or institutions to further the entire space or through the inaction of governments who don't want to stifle innovation or possibly don't see it as the threat to the monetary system it could (potentially)_be.

Time will tell!

Trust me, you will not hear about them. Also, when the US government detects it's been infiltrated, it's also rare to hear about it. That's why whenever you see articles like this that make attribution, I recommend viewing them with skepticism, simply because the information is specifically selected.
They don't, the fine print always explains what the company means by "unlimited".
