I don't have a twitter account and have never had one. I don't like the service, don't like the polices, don't like its nearly unusable glitchy interface, I don't like what it seems to do to people that I know and (sometimes formerly) respect(ed). I think the "twit" in the name is pretty descriptive on many levels. But that's fine, not everyone has to like everything.

Unfortunately not using it doesn't prevent people from trying to impersonate me there, cursing people out under my name, posting scams etc. On the dozenth or so times I reported one of these imposters to twitter they asked me to make an account to report via their web interface. As requested, I made a throwaway account. About an hour after the account was created I received a notice that my account was suspended for violating their rules. I've literally never used it, no one at my home was using twitter (or in trouble with it).

They're just pathetically broken from top to bottom. Broken service, broken culture, broken process.

If you get something out of it, good for you. But I remain mystified why anyone finds it to be of value.

We don't have an overabundance of low carbon energy that would justify the investments. There is also the problem that capturing CO2 is only economic at a point source. The fundamental problem is that the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is too low for direct air carbon capture.
Don't assume anything is the truth. You have to be skeptical. Now my claim in this instance is that the media doesn't report about the UK's role in Yemen at all. Declassified UK does and they provide evidence. But don't take them or anyone else as gospel.
You do realize we're on an American website, talking about an article in an American publication about how American streaming services won't play this film, and which references the decline of "American film culture," right? I don't think 189 of those countries particularly matter for purposes of this discussion, and I don't see anyone claiming that, say, China, has any independent and democratic institutions at all, much less media.
This isnt even true. A conversation is just two people presenting their own versions of an idea to you (like documentaries). Sure the conversation can morph the ideas you take away, but in the end if you're worried about the packaging of an idea or information literally any conversation with an "other" is subject to rhetoric like any other medium.
>> These are not my words, that's exactly what Tesla said after the "trailer across a highway" accident

>> Read up on it, I'm sure the upper limit for this function is when the delta speed is <50km/h. It won't work with a delta of 150km/h because it's physically not possible.

I think both of these have the same explanation: if you want to release a feature like this specced at a 50kph delta, you design for a safety factor of 2-3 (100-150) so that you can be confident that it’s safe at 50kph. The claim that “it’s physically impossible” doesn’t make sense to me: humans drive safely with such deltas using only “a video feed” and sound.

Anyways, I’m fairly certain I’ve come to a stop on autopilot from at least 60mph (100kph).

I really like the idea of Unicomp. US-based factory, still making Model M keyboards to this day. I've bought a classic, an Ultra Classic, a PC 122, a Classic Trackball, and a New Model M. All USB. The Ultra Classic and PC 122 both have developed flaky keys and/or the spacebar. The rest have been fine.

I don't want to try to fight with support to get this sent back since I know that I get to ship it back to them at my own expense, but I will say it deflates my desire to purchase a MacOS compatible Model M for my grandparents (who don't like the tiny thin Apple keyboards) since if it has problems, they will turn to me for help.

Their product support may be a situation of 'penny wise, pound foolish'. Since you can't measure lost sales due to support worries, offering things that cost you like free return labels will never make the cut as their (not inconsiderable) expense is not offsetting any other numbers in the excel spreadsheets the powers that be see.

They also repeatedly said that Wave would be federated, but the official Wave instance never was. That and the only code they released (at least until the project was canned, AFAIK) was missing several features that seemed pretty core to the usage of the software.

That is more or less my understanding. This person clearly feels comfortable with his own work. His choice. I would never inject his homebrew, and I would not trust my own understanding enough to do this myself. I don’t think that makes me naive. From what I’ve read, it took no time at all to create the coronavirus vaccine. The time taken was mostly around studying efficacy in various groups and checking side effects.

What I think this highlights is the perceived role and efficacy of regulation in society. Social media, for example, is going through a regulatory discussion, and given its growing role in matters of consequence I don’t think it beyond the pale to consider regulating it. We made that decision about medicine long ago, and I’d assert we are better for it.

It's interesting to think about what is it about keystrokes that tend to make people worry about privacy. I don't think it's as simple as "they are storing a lot more data than I assumed". It can't just be a matter of degree. The reason must be broadly along the lines given in the Edgeworth quote.

OTOH I've spent more money on Switch games this year than any other platform. Meanwhile, two years ago, I returned a Dell because it ran Civ 6 at less than 1 fps, despite its supposedly games focused integrated Vega GPU. My M1 Air manages a solid 60fps, and it's running Civ under Rosetta. I installed Factorio on it and it surprised me with my savegame having been copied over from my PC - it is indistinguishable. I get that neither of these games are Cyberpunk 2077, but most of the games I've enjoyed this year could year could be happily developed on an Air, and once there's a beefier desktop version, I expect even the most demanding level-layout tools will work fine on Apple Silicon. I can see AAA staying intel/nvidia for a long time simply because of tooling, but everyone else, why waste your money? Now, when Apple releases their console...

Sure, conversation is subject to rhetoric, but what I am saying is that you are able (insofar as you are capable) of trying to unravel the rhetoric, as the conversation involves you and another person. Thus, you have more power in conversation. Whereas, documentaries is more passive. But if you are referring to conversations that you are viewing as a passive observer, then I totally agree with you.
I don't think that's the right way to look at it. If there is no reason to store specific information - then don't.

Interesting is that in the Phaedrus?
It changes the DNA in a few cells, that produce the spikes. These cells are killed by the white cells, and after a few steps you hopefully get immunity. The objective is no permanent change of your DNA.

(Actually from time to time a virus fail and it get copy to the DNA of the cells that produce sperms or eggs and it get copied in the next generations. We have a few of these virus, but it is not the usual outcome.)
What do you mean "changed?" What was your opinion before and then after reading these Twitter posts?
> So, it’s a de-facto standard that boils down to mostly “what did 4.2BSD understand?“

By the way 4.2BSD was being compatible with older or contemporary implementations, like ITS which was running TCP before any Unix was.

For example plenty of machines back then used octal as a preferred human representation. In fact that’s why octal is the default format of numeric constants in C: C, like Unix, was initially developed for an 18-bit (six octal digits) PDP-7. The smaller 16-bit PDP-11 version came later.

And yet, these things are easily comprehensible facts without you needing to understand how to implement an LL1 parser.

More generally, I can always come up with something you can't understand without some specialised knowledge. I could argue that you couldn't possibly be a computer scientist / software engineer unless you understand the foundations of digital logic -- how else to understand safe implementation of crypto, caching and VM? Who cares about big O when people write pointer hungry code that faults to main memory every cycle?

Take a look at Shadow https://shadow.tech/. It's different in that you manage your own gaming PC, but in some of ways that is preferable. With the Steam stream-to-device functionality you can effectively use it on devices that aren't directly supported by Shadow too.
Most people gave that up a long time ago anyway, when they started buying all their games on Steam.
In hiring committees I've sat on, people for some reason had a lower bar for code that was written during a "phone screen" than during an "on-site", even when both were done with the same tech "stack" (phone call / Skype + coderpad or similar).

Maybe the name "virtual on-site" is supposed to convey to both interviewer and interviewee that "this is for serious".
>The myth of physical feminization has its basis in existential concerns about power and status. Adams has studied this idea at length. She and other scholars have argued that the idea of veganism is rolled up with qualities like compassion, conscientiousness, and empathy—for animals or the environment. By modern American cultural standards, these are feminine traits. Violence, physical domination, and self-interest are masculine. Add in the global history of colonization, Adams says, and meat has become equated with white, heterosexual men. “Now it’s kind of like plant-based meats are here to take away their identity,” she says. “So eating meat is a sort of reactionary attempt to reclaim something that’s already been lost.”

Simply blaming anxieties on manliness and colonialist attitudes is too reductive. Another aspect to consider is that meat-replacements introduce the anxiety of a future disconnected from nature and its bounty and more importantly a certain type of lifestyle that went from expected to luxurious. If you look at online far-right rhetoric, you'll immediately notice that they frame soy (and modern day consumption in general) also in reference to classic science-fiction tropes of compliant populations in dystopian societies that are force-fed terrible meals and toil away with little hope of independence or freedom. Essentially conditions where human beings are reduced to bug-like behavior.

I'd say that this avenue of investigation is a lot more relevant to most people than simply chalking up meatless anxiety to subgroups of white men being unreasonable and calling it a day. It's certainly not an issue that is limited to white men with far-right beliefs. The more left-wing version would be the complaint that the wealthy can live in the equivalent of paradise while the rest are told to enjoy their metaphorical processed soy paste and not be so greedy as to ask for a decent life with a minimal presence of meaning.

We are seeing home ownership become an impossible dream. Semi-pastoral lifestyles centered around strong communities are already a relic of the past. By contrast a future where people can't own anything really important and live mechanistic, consumption-oriented lives with screen based parasocial relationships is already the reality for hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The soylent is just a focus point for some of that anger and dismay.
How would you even literally describe events on the news without telling a story?
Of course you're right in many situations, but in general secrets should not be allowed in build environments. If one doesn't expend the effort to limit permissions in the production environment, however, it's no different.

Correct.

It also doesn't support truncation unlike inet_aton. e.g. inet_aton considers "1.2.3" and "1.2.0.3" to be the same address.

What's the most likely reason, given Occam's Razor? Don't forget the article quotes Reed Hastings saying “We’re not trying to do ‘truth to power.’ We’re trying to entertain.” Granted, this is about Hassan Minaj's show, but you can't tell me the CEO of Netflix is going to cancel Patriot Act over such an issue, but then be fully open to showing this film.

Edit: changed to use the exact quote from Reed Hastings.

Now, nine months into a contagion that has halted most public gatherings and decimated the performing arts, Ms. Koh, who watched a year’s worth of bookings evaporate, is playing music from her living room and receiving food stamps.”

They're not independent in the sense that they say things like "We’re not in the truth to power business" when defending their censorship decisions (https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/7/20953210/netflix-reed-has...). They don't feel they're free to say things powerful people wouldn't like.
The less comically baby-with-bathwater response to the realisation that "media is not balanced truth", is to develop critical faculties for media consumption and to cross-check new information with additional evidence such as your own experience before acceptance. This is hardly a new realisation and was already explored in ancient times including by the Buddhist Kalama Sutta[0] (~450BCE) and the Chinese Mohists[1] (~400BCE), etc.

Not sure why this would belong on HN, but now that it's here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QErygzM4W_Y is a far better explanation of what 18xx games are about.

My family loves them. My dad is a train nut, and ages ago I tricked him into boardgames by giving him 1830 for his birthday. Since then, he's bought nearly every 18xx game in existence, which turned out to be way more than I expected at the time.

We try to play them regularly. Usually it's my dad, my brother and me. Originally, sometimes my mother or my sister would join us (and I'd immediately lose) or I'd bring a board gamer friend from university. These days, my 11 years old son joins us.

Our most recent favourite is Steam Over Holland (No 18xx name! Heresy! which is only the latest of many, many games of the genre taking place in Netherland. But this one is really nice, plays fairly quickly, and has a predictable length. A previous favourite was 18EU, taking place in Europe (France to Austria), which felt big and epic, with 15 minor companies merging into larger companies in sometimes unpredictable ways, but actually still played relatively quickly, at least compared to a monster like 1841.

What's really interesting about the genre is how all these games have roughly the same rules, but slight variations in those rules, or even just the board or the number of available trains, can make a massive difference in how the game plays and feels. I still remember the first time I played 1835 (Germany, very non-aggressive, constructive and buildery) and tried my reliable aggressive strategy from 1830 (US East Coast, very aggressive and cut-throat), and only got exhausted without getting anywhere. Every game is similar yet totally different, and everybody has their own favourites.
The Epstein documentary is a prime example of how Netflix and others will pretend to address a topic but instead are subtley whitewashing it. It was not a thorough documentary, for reasons that are obvious to those who know how hollywood and it's periphreals work... but almost no one will address for the same reasons. No one wants their piece of the pie taken away.

How do you explain this theory that they care about the store and don't care about web apps, if web apps allow both developers and users to skip the store?

They care about the store primarily for some other other reason, and the fee is just incidental they don't care about? I say, "Unlikely".

If that was the case, then why did they ever create the store in the first place? They started out with no public store and all installed apps were fully internally owned and controlled. If they only cared about that, they already had that before creating the store. If they only created the public store to allow a wider range of other apps to exist for the users, many years of prior examples of external apps that a device/os vendor could support without caring about controlling or extracting a fee from existed already from PalmOS and WinCE etc. They didn't need any store, or they could have allowed a 3rd party to operate a curated convenient store, or they could have just maintained a directory that had listings that pointed to all the random apps on their own websites etc and the end user experience could be exactly as smooth as today. The os and the app package format could provide all the same user protections and procedural consistency.

No, they only care about the app store for 2 main reasons:
1 - Because other platforms were already more useful to users like Palm which already had thousands of unpredicable random special purpose apps for many years, and so they were simply required to provide some sort of equivalent facility whether they wanted to or not.
2 - To extract a fee from all of that activity.

Once web apps allow both developers and users to skip the store... then what? Apple still doesn't care? No way. Come on.
I can help here: these definitely aren't cursed, because curses aren't real. I was exagerating for comic effect, because this was just a twitter rant that got out of control :)

That said, many of those representations no longer make sense in the modern world, and I'm actively choosing to not support them. That doesn't mean I don't understand why they came about in the first place, au contraire! I'm explicitly deciding that their historical reason for existing no longer applies.
