Yes, but that version history is not as detailed as every keystroke, so it's not obvious that every keystroke is recorded.
It's probably the same as with solar cells, where you need to match portions of the spectrum with appropriately doped silicon.
For some of the social media listed here, the best technique would be to simply stop using them. There is such a thing as near-necessary social media use (where your professional or social life would be harmed as a result of total abstinence) but most people would find that it is in fact possible to drastically decrease their own usage with no ill effects by sticking to the essentials.

Cal Newport wrote something similar to this where he mentioned that you can actually compress and the social media activity that you realistically need to do (i.e. 80/20 rule) within a short weekly burst and leave it at that.
Database credentials hopefully not, but the build environment will almost certainly have access to a private git repo somewhere.
Yeah stadia is magic. I'm a tech person, so most things I see leave me a little unimpressed. "Oh yeah, I get how they do this". With my crappy wifi and slow internet I don't udnerstand how they manage such an amazing experience. Most of the time I get full reoslution, no lag. It's amazing. I'd love to learn how they do it..

Contrast that with AirPlay 2. Locally, between 2 speakers (wifi router in the same room) and I frequently get dropouts. What ?
At the very least, I wish people would look at those graphs, and realize that the popular “mount stupid” formulation is basically fan fiction.
Sending around protobufs encoded as JSON makes reverse engineering much easier than you might imagine. I can just imagine what the internal .proto files must look like - especially the arrangement/ordering of fields which tells you how the software design evolved. Two fields with tags next to eachother? They're probably part of the same feature and they were added by the same person as part of the same commit.
This is maybe an aside to the point of the essay, but I've never quite understood why the serviceberry hasn't been domesticated as a crop. Varieties get bred as ornamentals, and those often produce volumes of berries, but you don't see them being sold as food.

I've always had this sense that there could be a lot more food diversity today than there is. This might have some ecological advantages, to the extent some of those plants might be better adapted to certain niche conditions that might be difficult to breed other plants for.

If you need verbatim frame buffers, VNC is good for that. Basically, you will need to integrate VNC protocol into terminal protocol.
> You're really saying that anyone who reads a scientific paper should replicate it themselves? Really?

Stop strawmanning me. You're doing it so poorly I'm wondering whether you actually understood my comments. Same with contradicting myself, you'll have to point me to exactly where you think I do that, because I don't see it.

But because you're asking so incredulously:

Math papers always require proofs, and if you agree the proofs are correct you've basically replicated the result. So there's actually an entire field of rather smart people who think you should always replicate the results. For fields without this built-in replication, there's such a thing as the replication crisis, which means scientists probably aren't infallible (duh), and you probably should verify results before you rely on them being correct (duh). For climate science, add the fact that as soon as you can verify the results, they're useless.

I have a full time position in the university, so I'm not looking for something like this. I took a look just in case I can give some feedback.

Thank you for the clarification, it does sound like you've done more background research than the linked blog entry may explain. Was this the result of simply reading the RFCs or did you come across other resources that expand on the obsolete IP address representations?
Or just watch it but don't take everything said at point value and do research afterwards. Generally every documentary has a ton of articles written on "why they were wrong" afterwards so you can get both sides of the story.

You have to start by hearing one side of the story if you want to eventually get to both side of the story :)

“Yesterday, Airbnb went public at a price of $X. It has revenue of $Y. It was founded in year Z...”

Versus

“In 2008, the genius Brian Chesky woke up on a frigid San Francisco morning with a crick in his neck and looked out on the fog. He had just had a terrible experience with an evil multinational hotel chain...”

(Just a hyperbolic example, not meant to be all encompassing)

It’s less of a measurable outcome and more of a goal and methodology.
First, let me state that I love me some Griller's Prime (tofu based ground beeph), particularly on "TexMex" and I have not grown boobs or lost a penis... yet.

That said and contrary to the article, I am highly skeptical of the claim that there are people who literally believe that soy can result in a gender change.

"some men believe that the primary ingredient in the Impossible Whopper and countless other vegan products will literally turn them into women'"

I note there is no source for this claim and this is exactly the type of mis-information the article inherently suggests is bad.

Soy has estrogenic properties, this is just a fact. The article admits as much and Harvard Med will confirm it. Will an "incrediburger" give you boobs and make you penis fall off? Absolutely not, but the hormones in soy are actively used in hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women.

I think men who choose low reality/information news sources, sources that are often ripe for manipulation might be excused for fearing they will grow bigger boobs given the reality of the situation. Particularly men who are already experiencing bigger boobs as a result of age, testosterone loss, and fat.

As with so much of The Atlantic's content, this article seems to go out of the way to present an otherwise interesting topic with a culture war lens. No one who could actually benefit from unbiased information about the health benefits of soy is reading The Atlantic because they are "vegan-curious".

"vegan-curious" really? the author thought that that might help someone who listens to Joe Rogan have some sort of soy epiphany? Burger King had it right in my opinion and by the way, soy is not the exclusive product of vegans.

This kind of framing is why the right is able to paint the left as condescending elitists.
I'm also a +1 for the Home Assistant answer.

I'll add that a pre-built / configured / in a tidy-box (an experiment they are currently running) is very compelling for me.
Sure. But I've met too many young programmers who absolutely reject any attempt at guidance, build towers of fragile code, and just seem unable to ask for advice. They have a strong tendency to want to be in directly in charge of something, regardless of experience or aptitude for that. It has been very noticeable the last 10 years.

This is a rather bizarre and kind of scary comment to be honest. It suggests that one's opinion about torture and murder depends on the individual being tortured rather than on the one doing the torture.

I really don't care one bit about Khashoggi, one way or another, and no Twitter post about him could ever make me change my mind that torturing and murdering him is categorically wrong.

> There are nearly 8 billion humans on Earth.

Yes, and there's roughly a quadrillion Cyclothone on Earth, a vertebrate fish with 13 species. [0]

That's 1,000,000 billion fish vs. 8 billion humans: the fish are winning the population game, and it's not even close.

Furthermore, human population projections cap us out around 15 billion in the next century because birth rates go down as population increases—we are naturally self-limiting, like every other species on earth.

Im not going to engage with the content of the article or the documentary, because a) of the paywall and b) in 99% of all western coverage the verdict was already in, although many things remain fishy.

Besides the act itself, the most unusual detail of Kashoggi‘s killing was the way he was killed as well as the location.

Turkey is Saudi Arabia’s biggest Threat next to Iran (and its former colonial overlord). Why on earth carry out such a possible PR disaster before the face of your enemy’s intelligence services (and its many eyes)?

Maybe things didn’t go as planned or maybe some people intentionally broke Saudi Protocol, either for grinding an axe with Kashoggi or to harm MBS.

Something underreported is the role of Kashoggi: He is not just some mere dissident Saudi reporter. He was part of the uppermost Saudi classes, next in rank right after the royal family. A fact which explains how someone gets to make a journalism career inside of Saudi Arabia whilst criticizing domestic politics. And how a dissident journalist could be a multi millionaire.

It also explains why Kashoggi was an Islamist and fervent member of the
muslim brotherhood. The religious mantle of the brotherhood serves as a tool of power for Saudi‘s upper class to overthrow the only layer above them.

The Brotherhood claims to speak in the name of religious freedom and democracy. They are the ones who demonstrate for free elections, but when they win the first of those elections they immediately proceed to cancel all further elections. Just see Egypt or Hamas. Or go see Turkey, which rulers are, alas, Muslim Brotherhood.

Which is where the link between Kashoggi and its place of death comes full circle: He was best friends with Brotherhood-Brother, President of Turkey, Erdogan.

A mere „dissident“ doesn’t get to be friends with the world’s most prolific „Brother“. And he doesn’t just get murdered coincidentally in this Brother‘s backyard.

This is wild speculation but for me it is much more likely that Kashoggi was the sacrificial offering, to help further the Brotherhood‘s cause since prior to Kashoggi‘s death MBS went on a rampage against Saudi Arabia’s rebellious upper class. A class Bin Laden was part of and a class that if it would win power in Saudi Arabia, would change the Middle East power dynamics entirely.
Gave me a good chuckle
The Dunning Kruger might be a mirage but this article doesn’t seem to show that.

It shows 2 charts, one that was used by Dunning Kruger and the other generated by random noise.

Both look similar, but in the random noise chart the 2 lines intersect midway along the x-axis, where the 2nd and 3quartiles meet, while the dinning Kruger chart has the line intersecting where the 3rd and 4th quartiles meet.

Isn’t that a significant difference between the 2 results?
In my experience Dunning-Kruger 100% is there but in the following form: "knowledgeable people doubt, and less people know they are more confident." It is even amazing sometimes, how confidently people without any knowledge talk and give opinion about subjects that need high level of knowledge, just to even begin to ponder about it. And again, it can be my bias.
Definitely makes sense on FWD cars, common throughout Europe. And indeed we don’t rotate tyres here, as you point out, the front ones wear out faster anyway, so when they’re dead you move the back ones to the front and put new ones on the back

Far better to lose some steering and braking power from worn front tires than to have your back flip out on you
Attacking Epstein is not really controversial anymore, especially since he's dead and no one is really standing by him anymore. Alienating Saudi Arabia absolutely is, as shown by the controversy around the Patriot Act episode.
For ages I've been having the idea of an 18xx style game about the "new economy" of the 1990s dotcom boom. The main feature would be that the stock market would work exactly the other way around: if you pay dividends, your stock goes down, but if you withhold and invest in growth, your stock goes up, reflecting all those internet startups that never made any profit but were still valued incredibly high.

I never really figured out how the operational aspect of the game should work, though.

It may just be me, but I get the impression that most people that voted for again have been pleased with the result of these last 4 years.
I think you’re the one getting bad luck, Dominos is incredibly consistent everywhere I’ve been.

Also, the Dominos tracker is real. (I have some knowledge of their IT systems). It doesn’t estimate delivery times, it just tells you the state of the order. It’s up to employees to actually move the state along, so it isn’t perfect. But it is an actual tracker.
> How long ago was "a few years ago"? What model number was that? DD-WRT has been ported to the Archer series but if you're talking a ZyNOS based router then you're probably out of luck. Those ZyNOS devices are the real bottom end of the market though.

This brings back memories :) http://www.ixo.de/info/zyxel_uclinux/ Sure, we are talking about low-end (real bottom) devices and date models here. I cannot recall the model number, but I think we both agree that routers that cannot run linux exist, although not very common (anymore).

How about QNX then?

As of 2020, it is used in a variety of devices including cars and mobile phones." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QNX

They are "aimed primarily at the embedded systems market", their latest release is from "7.1 / July 2020; 5 months ago" and they are operating their business model since 1982.
I can't go a week without seeing people mention Dunning-Kruger on Reddit. It's become such a pop-cultural zeitgeist term that it's lost any ties to the original study. It's frequently abused as a derogatory adjective to describe people while claiming the superior argument, often without providing evidence.

I don't know what to do about it, but its use by lay people bothers me. It's ironically Dunning-Kruger.
I really enjoyed reading your comment. Do you maintain a blog where you discuss such matters?
Personally speaking, it just struck me as odd that - outside of some rare exceptions - that someone could be so dumb that he'd actually be ignorant of his ineptitude. This is different than misrepresenting your ability. Lots of people do that for lots of reasons, but for someone to be so sheerly ignorant as is often given in the case examples struck me as someone who will sooner rather than later learn painful lessons about the truth of his own shortcomings.
How's that taking privacy seriously thing going, fb?

With "make install", I usually just pass a "--prefix=/usr/local/stow/" flag and let GNU stow take care of actual install and uninstall. You may be able to alter the perms on that subdirectory to avoid running as root, although I haven't bothered. I only go to such trouble when it's necessary to use something that hasn't been packaged by OS maintainers. Like make, npm isn't really intended to replace OS package management. npm is for using really "fresh" software. Of course we have to be more careful doing that, so we only do it when the benefits outweigh the costs.
Additionally, I can't think of anything that would be useful for MacOS (Mach related or not) that wouldn't also help other operating systems.

I use Digital Ocean, Scaleway, Linode, Google, Cloudflare & Amazon on a daily basis, and I have experienced networking issues on all providers this year. It's all public, some even wrote lengthy post-mortems, most have been posted on HN.

When failures happen, it's always a series of unfortunate incidents. When we've hit issues with Linode, we reached out and worked on what we can improve in our changelog.com setup, and discussed about the improvements that we can expect on the Linode end. Our common interest is a more resilient system, which requires a healthy collaboration, and Linode has been a great technology partner for us. Expect to see these write-ups on changelog.com as soon as these improvements have shipped, and we have hard data to support the claims ; )

I'm sorry to hear that things have not been as smooth for you on Linode. I hope that you will find an infra provider that you will be able to rely on and work with as we do. Not all collaborations will work out, and that's OK. It's also OK to be annoyed, fed up with the way things are and look for something different, something more suitable for you. My only ask is that you share your migration story with the changelog.com community. That is something that I would want to hear about.
No one is angry. I'm perplexed.

Sounds like fail-safe design. It decelerates instead of spinning out of control. You’re overreacting a bit.
This is a popular opinion on HN, but I'll state again that reddit is basically unusable. I still check a few subreddits using old.reddit.com but the mobile app they constantly shove down your throat is bloated trash and the redesign is garbage. It's inevitable that something better comes along.

Does this article actually contains explanation of what was wrong with the original study?

Maybe I don't know how to read with understanding, but to me this article makes only two points:

1. The effect was about all people, not just dumb people.

2. The same graph can be obtained "by random".

Point 1. makes sense, but 2. is left unexplained. There is a lot of words, but no content. Almost as if GPT-3 was writing it :) .

Not really, some games on Steam don't have DRM, and Valve has said if Steam ever goes down that they'd break Steam DRM themselves. This cannot be said of Stadia, I can't imagine Google would refund people that money or give them another copy of their games.
No, that just says they don't want to speak truth to power. Netflix is perfectly free to do so, at least in the US. If I had to guess as to their reasoning, I would say it's probably because they don't think it would be profitable enough.
