I have zero interest in adding analytics to any site or application I might create in the future and, of course, I also don't want to bother future users with what would be pointless pop-ups. I thought that doing what github did would be enough, but now I'm not so sure because of one thing and some comments I saw here that might be related to that.

I would still like to improve any application I might create depending on how it's being used (to know what features to improve, which ones could potentially be removed or changed, etcetera). Keeping logs of this kind of usage would still go against the GDPR? I thought that it wouldn't as long as it was aggregated data without using any of the users' personal information. But some comments here have led me to believe that it would go against the GDPR regardless because it would still mean separating unique users.

Hoping someone more familiar with the law sees this comment. I mean, I can think of multiple ways to aggregate that data, even with unique users, without using personally identifying information, but I'm not sure anymore if that's enough.
But it doesn't look like cheap upscaling.

Oh hey, you're the creator! This is a really cool site, thank you.
This is true but the purpose of such lists of rules is that they are easy to follow for people who otherwise would have no idea what to do. Every rule has exceptions and once someone tries such a system for a time they'll probably learn them. Having them avoid such food until then and start eating healthier right now would be more beneficial than waiting.

Most of rule #2 would be encapsulated by rule #1 anyway, it just reinforces it.
That’s what it might be now, but I feel very strongly as though it was meant to be way more complicated and probably got really overwhelming.
It's not a new phenomenon. Heck, this story even has some of the same players: Hal Puthoff is mentioned in the article because he's still a part of the government research scene. (He's the crackpot who did remote viewing experiments for the CIA in the 70s. He helped promote the fradulent spoon-bending "psychic" Uri Geller.) He was involved in the AATIP, a pet project of Senator Harry Reid, and the source of the Navy UFO videos.
The gist of it is:

* Python spends almost all of its time in the C runtime

This means that it doesn't really matter how quickly you execute the "Python" part of Python. Another way of saying this is that Python opcodes are very complex, and the cost of executing them dwarfs the cost of dispatching them. Another analogy I give is that executing Python is more similar to rendering HTML than it is to executing JS -- it's more of a description of what the runtime should do rather than an explicit step-by-step account of how to do it.

Pyston's performance improvements come from speeding up the C code, not the Python code. When people say "why doesn't Pyston use [insert favorite JIT technique here]", my question is whether that technique would help speed up C code. I think this is the most fundamental misconception about Python performance: we spend our energy trying to JIT C code, not Python code. This is also why I am not very interested in running Python on pre-existing VMs, since that will only exacerbate the problem in order to fix something that isn't really broken.
> - Unrequited -> requited.

The verb “requite” and the adjective “requited” are quite normal English words, and “unrequited” is derived from them in the normal way.

“Unrequited” may be the form most commonly encountered (“mutual” is most common in many places “requited” would naturally fit), but the other forms are not neologisms created by backformation.

A decent free option for reviews is Wirecutter from the New York Times. I've yet to buy anything that they recommended that was outright bad, and they have a surprising breadth of categories that they review.

They make money through affiliate links, but they claim that the writers/reviewers have no knowledge of which companies have affiliate relationships with the Wirecutter so it doesn't bias their picks.
That story is fantastic, thank you. Reminds me of one of my all-time favorite Asimov stories, Paté de Fois Gras, about the Goose that Lays the Golden Eggs, but with a counter-intelligence twist.

See these people, using the Insurance companies stickler for the small print against them:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-15/australians-fight-ins...

In short, the insurance companies have a phrase where they don't have to pay out for business losses caused by disease as specified by a certain law.

But that law got wiped from the books and replaced with a new law. And the terms of insurance for most of the companies never got updated and so are irrelevant on that point.

So the insurance companies should pay up for business losses due to covid. They are now saying "never mind the exact lettering of the agreement, go by the spirit of it"....
Wait, is that true? You need to have a physical presence in the EU?

I'm confused-- It's not a 3rd party when it's the creator of the game. Unless you're saying no games created by someone else are fun? I don't think you're saying that-- it's just the implication I'm getting because I'm not sure what you mean. Because any game you don't create has rules established by someone else.
It's quite the stretch I know, but for me, on a practical level the answer to getting something better than CSS was Tailwind.

In the biggest project I currently manage, the custom CSS I wrote boils down to maybe 150 lines total of: custom fonts, some ::before/::after styles and styled tags inside a markdown section using @apply. Everything else is just classes in components.

I feel like this is something you'll almost never worry about in 99% of websites. In fact, it doesn't even happen for native applications (deactivating features based on battery life/free space/processing power).

It'd be a bit jarring to have certain features suddenly disappear on the next page load, just because your resources dropped below certain thresholds decided by the developer?

I remember my first encounter with Smalltalk.in 1994 I believe.
It was so different than Pascal I used daily ( that's I loved for the clean sub function call BTW).
Here in Smalltalk, an object was like a cell, with both its functions (sort of mini API cell) and its values... Wahoo !

I also read a book from MIT press full of parallels between people asking/answering things to others like in Smalltalk an objets send messages to other objects.

The fascination I had with Smalltalk at first was that I felt suddenly that you could program software in a more humain way of thinking...
I like the "yeah nah" expression! (It's best when accompanied with a head nod and shake when it's said.)

It's saying "I hear what you are saying, but I don't agree" with typical Aussie friendly honesty, with the implication that the proposition was unreasonable (often laughable).

Example, "Willing to swap late model Honda Civic for Ferrari or Lamborghini, must be road worthy and registered, cash my way if needed." Yeah, nah.
Whatever well respected means to you, there is probably someone that meets it.

If you like old guard financial entities, Fidelity has a custody service.

If you want an entity that has been in the space almost as long as Bitcoin and has never been hacked, Coinbase has a service.

If you want star power, Gemini from the Winklevii is your bag.

If you don't want to be asked a lot of questions and don't want to know a lot about your counterparty, I bet Bitfinex will be happy to help.

All of these (except the last) are insured and bonded by respected old guard insurers. I assume the insurance contracts are all written on fiat terms, so take them at whatever value you will. MtGox proves the usefulness of contracts imposed on crypto but adjudicated in fiat.

Of course, if you are an old school cyberpunk, you custody your own coins using a layered security approach designed and implemented by yourself. That sort of cowboy behavior is frowned upon by the SEC, so not really applicable to a public company. I would be surprised if Michael Saylor (the CEO) didn't self-custody at least some of his personal stash. Good luck getting him to talk about it though.

Bitcoin is growing up. It is being integrated into the existing financial infrastructure. The beauty of Bitcoin is that you get to choose how much you interact with these new on-ramps. If you want to stick to the anarco-capitalist foundational philosophies, more power to you. Literally, you retain more power in Bitcoin than fiat.

Don't expect the existing financial world to bend though. It will slot Bitcoin into the existing architecture and keep on keeping on.

This is much less of an issue with FreeBSD because the changes between releases are relatively small. Some systems out there had 20 years worth of upgrades, from v4 all the way to v12. I wouldn't like to try that on Linux.
5% rotating category cards aren't that great IMO, it's a waste of your time tracking what the categories are. And if you add up the overall cashback percentage you're getting, it's likely going to be less than 2.65% unless you're spending more than 40% of your spending in those categories.
Only because I didn't bother to strip the binary. The binary you're linking to is statically linked, which includes PCRE2 and Rust's regex engine, among other things. The GP's point is that if you look at all of grep's pieces, it comes in at a similar size.

Wikipedia itself is high-maintenance because of the volatile deletionism. I appreciate the patience of the practical editors who have an inclusionist bent, but the add/protect process is too inefficient/risky for my liking.

Previous job, we were running almost everything in "normal" jails (as opposed to fat). We even stayed with ezjail, which is dead simple, because we were so comfortable with it and could understand how to manually fiddle with stuff when there was a need.

There are very very few things that cannot be told to bind to the real jail IP address instead of localhost. Most stuff will just work. And that's it. But there are also added benefits here:

* Parts of the filesystem cannot be altered, period. You update your base from your jailhost and every jail takes the change. That was an added security benefit.

* Pkg software can be individually installed per jail, goes into /usr/local. FreeBSD has already been brilliant in separating the base system from the third party software.

* For minor and major version bumps, we developed a simple set of steps and tools to upgrade a jailhost but leave the jails in their previous versions, maintaining multiple versions of base, like /var/jails/basejail104, /var/jails/basejail113, and so on. So the downtime is minimized, and each jail can be upgraded later in its own pace. This was a huge relief compared to having to upgrade everything only to find that some piece of software doesn't quite work correctly in the next version. And rollback is possible, by just copying the jail.

* Jails can likewise be very easily copied between jailhosts with a couple of rsync commands and some simple script.

Have used iocage and zfs and it is brilliant, but even without the benefits of zfs clone and snapshot, jails were (and I believe still are) a very pleasant experience to work with.
> Its not like "processing" makes something more or less poisonous.

At scale, processing food often introduces challenges only solvable by introducing chemicals and practices that are considered harmful to humans.

Phthalates become more common in foods the more times it changes hands. Sterilized environments necessary for processing must be sanitized by using chlorine, some of which is exposed to the food itself. Most processed foods have ingredients that are also processed, so the effects of this are compounded. Many preservatives, past and present, have positive correlations with various types of cancer and neurological diseases.

I agree with base premise — you don't automatically start eating healthily by choosing whole foods. But I think it's harmful to consider processing as benign.

No it isn't. Switching from cop to ditch digger doesn't require an immigration visa, learning a new language and culture, figuring out the metric system, uprooting your family and maybe supporting your spouse because they won't be able to acquire a job in the new country. Shall I go on?

I read a lot of the mailing list threads back when all this was going on, and I don't recall feeling any particular sympathy toward McVoy at all.

The fundamental issue I saw was that McVoy decided to foist what I consider an unconscionable license agreement upon his unpaid open source users: users were prohibited from working on another version control system without having their license to use the read-only BitKeeper client revoked. (And reverse engineering BK's protocol was also forbidden.) From the starting line I already thought he was slimy for that.

This is where Torvalds should have gotten his big honking "I told you so", but I expect he took the wrong lesson from it since he was able to whip up an acceptable alternative in git in a fairly short amount of time[0].

Anyway, McVoy was usually pretty civil in email threads about the whole thing (likely with a few angry words here and there), but I don't think that really mattered to me: IMO he was asking something unethical of his users from the start, and so I think ethically Tridge was completely in the right to reverse engineer BK's protocol and write an unencumbered client. McVoy's response to take his ball and go home was of course entirely within his rights, but was oh so childish. And, surprise, BitKeeper has since failed as a product; I believe it's now open source, and has a tiny fraction of git's user base.

[0] I think it's easy for some to take the -- IMO mistaken -- view that "being allowed to" (eye roll) use BitKeeper was a "generous" gift, because it pushed someone to build a viable open-source alternative when their back was against a wall. My view is that it was just lucky for the open source community that McVoy went up against one of the few people with the talent and motivation to out-build BitKeeper. This is one of those times RMS's preaching against using closed-source software is so spot-on, publicly, painfully correct.

> Packfiles use delta compression to store repositories more compactly, but the deltas are not at all related to commits. The objects (blobs, trees, etc.) are sorted for similarity, completely ignoring the graph of commit history

While I understand this point, I would make two further ones:

- The storage is still diffs, and definitely not snapshots. It's just that the diffs of which a given commit consists do not all refer to the same "base". Contrasting git with a system in which commits are stored as one large diff (whereas git stores them as many small diffs) is something you can do, but it's not the same thing as contrasting git with a system in which commits are stored as snapshots. (Whereas git stores them as diffs.)

- "Sorting for similarity" isn't a thing you can do; similarity does not induce a consistent ordering.

> This allows git’s storage to be smaller than version control systems that use a storage structure that preserves history

This is worded unfortunately; git wouldn't be a version control system at all if its storage structure didn't preserve history. It does, but it doesn't mix that concern with its concern for file contents.
That was my first thought, too! A naïve (stolen-)antiquity buyer who sees offers on facebook would be a prime target for someone selling knockoffs. Get them made in China and sell them in Yemen! If the local authorities come after you, just show them that they're not real. It's really a win-win.

See: https://blog.britishmuseum.org/fake-antiquities-made-for-uns...

From this article:

> This is evidence for a side of the trade in antiquities which is rarely discussed – there are more fakes in circulation than genuine articles. It is easier and cheaper to make copies than it is to hire dozens of workers to look for originals. Fakes can also be conveniently complete, whereas almost everything from antiquity has been broken, either deliberately in episodes of destruction, or accidentally in the case of everyday items. There is also the simple economic truth of the laws of supply and demand.
