The people who think 4chan is some existential threat to society rather than anti-social people and people with autism blowing off steam and being mean to each other are the people who aren't very familiar with 4chan. 99% of it is just shitposts, the other 0.9% is people who aren't doing anything bad, the 0.1% is removed.

Ask yourself, who led these people to believe this.
Bookmarked, hope to see it grow! :)
The claim for 50 secret service agents being hospitalized comes from one unnamed source in the trump administration; and both fox news and newsmax have a strong right-leaning bias, so it's hard for me to believe it's true at all.
Or a personalized/generated RSS feed?
HP Envy. Broken functions right out of the box, no fixes or refunds offered. Battwry drains overnight if no plugged in, touchscreen must be switched off for PC to be useable, etc. Still broken 5 yrs later. Was told on all counts it is user error.
Shouldn't be too hard to add later, since they're mostly just swizzles onto the existing instructions, and LLVM already has good support for registering slightly different versions of a target (subtargeting).

For now, I'm targeting the plain-jane MOS chip, since it's the buggiest and least capable, and thus the most difficult.
Not sure what argument you're trying to make here.

If the state would use its influence to get one single bookstore in Bumsworth, Arizona to stop selling one specific book on repairing video cameras [2], that would certainly be a free speech issue, and it would certainly violate the First Amendment.

Yes, even if the book remained available in every other bookstore across the nation, and every book discussing other ways of repairing video cameras would remain available for sale in Bumsworth. Just imagine a state attorney trying to use that as a defense, to explain why the "No Video Camera Repairs in Bumsworth Act" does not violate the First Amendment. It would be ridiculous.

You're trying to use the same defense while the leaders of the largest soon-to-be-opposition party are banned en masse in an effort to align industry with the incoming new administration, while people with significant cred [1], who happen to be on bad terms with opposition party in question [3] denounce the whole thing as an "unacceptable act of censorship".

I watch these types of videos and I can't help but wonder if we transcended the need for elderly advice or we just grown as a youth centric society.

It could also be a matter of language, and words can't convey the elders experiences as effectively as it could in simples times, where symbols did not need to account for vastly different experiences. So when someone says "I don't regret working hard" in the context of a village, where hard work is essencial, It could mean something else completely to someone who grew up with absent parents, who devoted their lives to work and didn't pay attention their children. And theses discrepancies permeates the entirety of the discourse.

To rescue the value of elderly advice I suggest more context is needed, at least more than a 4 minutes video could possibly convey.
Ouch! This isn't my area and you're right I haven't researched this topic in any depth (though I did look at Diaspora), so I'm not surprised it shows. My original comment was around meta-ethics and this is pretty far from that starting point.

Decentralized platforms like Diaspora may be viable alternatives someday, but my possibly ill-informed pragmatic gut tells me they won't be viable alternatives for many years to come.

Thanks for your patience and persistence. It was interesting!
Sounds like a rephrasing of the Peter Principle ("Everyone rises to the level of their incompetence.")
He kinda rags on Haskell. I am wondering what people on HN think of pandoc, a Haskell project by someone outside the software industry for converting to/from .docx and other formats. I like it because it can be used as a single binary. Is there some other preferred way amongst so-called "software engineers" to do the sort of conversions pandoc does. Python libraries, maybe?
Great advice. The goal I set myself is consistency of doing any exercise, this builds, eventually, habits and over time you can gradually increase the quality/amount/whatever.

There is a huge variation in people's physical capacity as well as 'motivation' - find out what works for your body by trying different things and finding out what you can do consistently. Consistency as a focus helps avoid a big limiter which is injury, which often comes from doing too much too soon. Be prepared that this process might take a long time.
Many banks don't provide HTTP endpoints (except for business versions). My bank, Monzo, does not. My other bank TSB does provide a website, but it's awful.
Your comment actually embodies one of the most ironic parts of this whole fiasco: Bitcoin, which is purported as the anti-fed/anti-government savior of the future world economy (maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but I don't think I'm too far off the mark), is ultimately going to serve as one of the best examples of exactly "why" we have regulation and oversight in the first place.
Thanks, I happen to know about the combinations (they're also called out in the article). But the multichar ones are combined with more than two. So if you can consider four to be two, why not simply consider four to be one.
No, Pdf isn't appropriate for electronic documents, it is especially user-unfriendly.

What exactly do you have against HTML? (It's not like we have any better alternative...)

IMHO the .mhtml format should be resurrected.

EDIT: And the Pdf format can be abused as well. At least it's easy to block JavaScript on HTML, even selectively (uMatrix).

I expect to be able to use video in an electronic document, PDF readers don't seem to be even able to support MP4, much less the upcoming AV1 !
C marks an accident, that is potentially catastrophic (has the potential to kill everybody on board of an airplane) - a Crash.

Homesteading Mental Models
The Pinephone is a development platform, and I don't think anyone is suggesting that Pinephone (or Librem for that matter) is anywhere near ready for daily use by most folks.

That said, when it comes to open mobile platforms, I think my assertion that the Pinephone is the most promising platform still stands -- they're the most successful at getting today's "state of the art" in open dev platforms into the hands of developers, even if that "state of the art" has a woefully out of date SoC.
Hi! I have a public Trello board [0] with a list of projects I'm working on, or ideas I have, which from time to time people comment on!

Well on the one hand, hoping people get killed is pretty dark.

On the other, these people literally attempted to overthrow the country, some were armed, some had bombs, some had the intent of abducting and/or harming people like Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi. So I would be very sympathetic to there having been a much more robust response, whilst still preferring nobody be hurt.
"50% of the spectrum" is not censored. Some extent edges are. Most of the right-wing don't care about Trump and his fan clubs, they just care about whoever the Republican candidates are.
It's not because some people don't like exercising?
Fellow programmers -

If you have a standing desk but find it difficult to stand for hours, I highly recommend an under desk treadmill.

I picked up a Treadly treadmill a few years ago and have logged hundreds of miles of walking while programming. It's thin and can easily slide under my bed, or be propped up against a wall when not in use.
I love that. Lesson: Keep talking your book right to the end!
A few of my favorite things that were brought to the capital. Zip ties, several guns, 11 molotov cocktails, 2 pipe bombs.

Guliani also asked Tuberville to object to every state which if acted on would have required at least 11 days of 12 hour sessions with an armed angry mob outside.

When they finally attacked it took hours to authorize the national guard to defend the capital giving the mob maximum time to terrorize congress.

It we examine the possible failure modes in this situation we can imagine.

- The mob could have slaughtered burned or blew up our congress or enough to frighten the rest into compliance.

- The mob could have destroyed the physical copy of the ballots delaying the matter giving the mob more time to intimidate legislators further.

- The legislature might have lost heart over 11 days of being terrorized by the mob outside and come to some compromise like allowing congress to vote on the matter one delegation one vote allowing the republicans to pick the next president.

This would have only required all of the republican party and 6 democrats in the house to join to enact. They would simply have had to vote with the republicans to reject 36 states worth of EC votes in order to throw the election to the house.

It is foolish to suppose this couldn't possibly have succeeded just because they are very very incompetent. They could never have enacted a traditional coup because the military was never on their side. This could actually have worked if our congress had lost heart.

This was absolutely an attempted coup and we would be stupid to treat it as less.
Look at the utterly insane mental gymnastics you're engaging in. "People are angry at constantly being treated with contempt and having their elected representative smeared. Let's impeach him again, call all his supporters terrorists, and ban them from communicating!" People like you and the Democrats seem desperate to cause more violence instead of de-escalating the situation with a peaceful, dignified exit. It's a shame that you care more about "owning Trump" one more time rather than promoting peace, but I'm not surprised.
This is a very programmery viewpoint. Trump didn't literally say "hey guys, go wreck up the Capitol", so his hands are clean. But... the real world is not a computer program. People can read between the lines. In this case, Trump planned a rally on the exact day of the congressional certification of the election results. He spent the previous two months telling his supporters the election was a fraud, and that they needed to "stop the steal". Then at the conveniently scheduled (and located) rally, he riled up the crowd and asked them to march to the Capitol. They were able to read between the line and follow his orders.

It's true that he didn't write a line of code like "minions.wreckUpTheCapitol()" but in the non-programmer world, things need not be as certain.
And for someone in between. I can run or bike solo every day and push myself to new personal records (though I never did break the 23 minute barrier on a 5k run). But strength training (primarily bodyweight) and yoga (picked up after a back injury left me crippled for a good chunk of a year), for me, require some other factor for me to stick with it for more than a month or so at a time (which is better than none, but doesn't help me get where I want to be).

Taking a class got me to push myself much further and harder than I ever did solo, and these days I'm making do with online classes because they keep me going in a similar way (though without the same social commitment since it's not actually social).
Leftist as in leftist political elites. Leftists fucking hate working people.
That usually works if you have sufficient RAM, and do plan to touch substantially all of the file, and don't have any tight QoS targets to meet around the time you map the file.
You're narrowing the criteria to match this specific event and asking for an exact replica the left, of which there are none. We see through your rhetoric.

Last summer was replete with examples of violence from the left. Far more deadly and destructive than seen at the capitol building riot.
No.

Using mmap is pretending you read your entire file into memory but all the memory got swapped to disk, and so the pages has to be swapped back into memory when you access them.

Except you didn't do the initial read into memory, and instead of the system swap file it's using the file you actually want to read when paging data back into memory.
Kick-Starting Your New Developer Job with These Essential Tips
This is Wim Hof’s advice.
This article is about kick-starting your new developer job based on my experience gathered in multiple companies and projects. I did my best to group and share my experiences and turn them into, lets say an umbrella of things, that developers at new positions or in new teams might want to thing about.

I would really appreciate to get feedback on this article, I already asked my peers and friends and updated article based on some valuable feedback.
Show me where both sides' leaders egged on rioters.
65, and not remotely in the best shape of my life. (In my late 20s I ran at least a couple of marathons every year.) I run about four times a week, and have always regarded running as the perfect exercise for a lazy man: find your shorts, find your shoes, and head out; no need for reservations, exercise partners, etc. And I walk most days: generally twice a day on days I don't run, once on days I do. And I do not hate running or walking: I inherited a love of walking from my mother, and it carried over to running.

I should do more resistance work, but don't. Something in one shoulder does not care for push-ups. Well, in the summer I do yard work.

Anyway, I'm glad you found something that works for you. Would that I had the same body-fat ratio that I had in college.
Is this the first English-speaking country to do something like this?

Will be interesting to see what their internet turns out looking like if this is permanent
” People are being shut down for being part of an offensive minority that supports extreme behaviors and statements.”

Yet, last year Twitter and Reddit was full of BLM/Antifa supporters calling for and supporting cleansing of white people, republicans, Trump voters etc. without any kind of censorship.

Also for past decade these platforms have been safe harbor for terrorist organizations, cartels, gangs, government media from countries that do extreme human rights violations etc. No problem there either except sometimes when the shitstorm get big enough.

Apparently though some mentally unstable QAnon hillbillies stealing speakers stands are more extreme than countries and organizations involved in slavery, genocide, mass murder or terrorism.
Be mindful that can give you Time Of Check/Time Of Use (TOCTOU) security bugs though. The buffer can change out from under you.
For those that hate running, I recommend trying rollerblading. Its much less strenuous so you can go further, and faster and if you go at speed, it can be a little like solving a puzzle avoiding obstacles or people. Just buy good rollerblades. IF you get good, you can do stuff like this:

Kayaking is also a great workout to try in the summer. You get to discover new worlds, from a new perspective. Kind of like a video game. So it doesn't even feel like exercise. Sunsets on the water are absolutely beautiful. Bring a friend or a camera and you can get some awesome shots of birds too.
Disney would benefit, but if their cost doubles each year, would it be worth it? Given the formula:

/ 0 (n < 20)
\ 10000*2^(n-20) (n >= 20)

When 'n' reaches 30 (years) you’re already looking at ~$10 million dollars. A number like that looks like it benefits the big players, but what about 40 years? That’s ~$10.5 billion for one year. Disney’s going to have to think twice about if it’s worth it to keep paying. Add another 5 years, and now they’d be paying a third of a trillion dollars for one year. I don’t think they’d even reach that point before dropping it.

The big problem with copyright is that some things don’t make sense to have copyrighted for 20 years, but some do (depending on who you ask, this may not be true). This becomes a problem when multi-billion dollar corporations own the copyright to something. That scale of money wasn’t a thing in the late 1700s when copyright was written into the Constitution.
For the uninitiated: .2g of extract has as much THC as a typical full-sized 1g joint.
This is backwards. Governments block social media to prevent speech, not protect it.
Also, AVIF has support for live photos and animations.

WebP afaik has a more limited feature set.
There are various reasons Ada didn't take over the world, I'm not convinced that its emphasis on readability over writeability is one of them. Far more time is spent on maintaining code than on initial development, and anyway, typing speed isn't the bottleneck for writing new code.

Code review? You're in the business of reading code. Fixing bugs? You're in the business of reading code. Modifying/extending/porting an existing codebase? You're in the business of reading code.

If you're writing trivial single-use 'throwaway' code that needs no review, then readability doesn't much matter, but it's an important factor for just about all serious codebases.

Of course, there's also the question of whether Ada's specific syntax really succeeds in being more readable. It makes extensive use of English words in ways that are sometimes awkward and unnatural. I'm not a fan of its and then / or else short-circuit operators, for instance, and think they should just have gone with something like C's && / || operators. Neither syntax is self-explanatory to someone who doesn't know the language, but at least C's syntax doesn't counterintuitively collide with English.
Take your fine people on both sides argument somewhere else. One side acknowledged that people had a legitimate reason to protest cops offing black people while specifically discouraging rioting.

Another side told people that their country was being stolen from them and only they could stop it before telling them to go to the capital.
Could you elaborate on how it helps? This is so far outside what I know I don't even know what to ask more specifically.
Correlation can arise without necessarily having a cause and effect relationship. In this case it is quite plausible to have a correlation between longevity and cold showers, but that could be because people prone to cold showers are also more likely to face discomfort and lead more active lives, which in turn has direct correlation with a reduced risk of heart disease and diabetes. Then the point changed entirely, where once the focus was on the showers, now it is on something far deeper, like the hability to be comfortable with discomfort.
Respectfully, that's just a counter. It links to another hcq*.com site. That seems to cherry pick results.

Don't get me wrong, this whole thing is a fucking mess.

I haven't seen a reliable study that shows HCQ is effective. I'd be happy to see one of you have one? Given the attention paid to this molecule, there should be some nice, randomised control trials with large n numbers.
Turns out all you need for a coup is about 70 lightly armed boomers and a few zip ties.
I can highly recommend "Homage to Catalonia". It's a really insightful look into the world of the Communist revolutionaries and the anti-Fascist front-lines in the early 20th century. In fact, it's a really good look into similar political movements all the way up through today. It's also a very good first-hand account of war in multiple environments and the sections on urban warfare in Barcelona reminded me of the scenes of warfare in Baghdad during the Iraq war.

Some people find the writing about all of the factions confusing and hard to track, but I think that's on purpose. I think being there, it would have been confusing as well.

I read it a few years before actually making it to Barcelona and the description of the city came back to me in a flood as I was spending time in it. I hadn't realized how well he had described the look at feel of the city but the image I drew in my mind while I read the book was almost exactly what it actually looks like in many parts.

Orwell had an amazing ability to evoke complex settings in surprisingly sparse and unadorned language.

This is going to be interesting. 50% of Americans want to silence the other 50%. Currently, big tech is capitulating, but at some point they'll have to lose profits in order to continue appeasing that side.

If Parler can eject the racists/antisemites/islamophobists from their platform, and somehow keep the anti-vaxxers and qanoners, it'll be a company worth watching. If they can't, some other company will arise and take up the niche of "allows right-wing nonsense, but not racism".
For 3D, the book “Physically Based Rendering” by Humphreys & Pharr is excellent. I think the entire text is free online nowadays.
> continue to say the election was stolen, and to say you love them

You left out the last sentence, which was (paraphrasing) "Go home, go in peace."
That is a good theoretical argument but in practice Trumps opinions are mainstream enough to garner tens of millions of votes in support.

Being intolerant of the representative of somewhere between 20% and 40% of the country (accounting for turnout) is not a sustainable strategy. Ignoring even 10% of a country is a recipe for great pain.
Technically, Deno is V8 and only runs JavaScript.

Deno supports and encourages writing code in TypeScript but the way it works is: Deno bundles TypeScrit compiler, uses it to convert TypeScript to JavaScript and then executes the JavaScript.

It can also run JavaScript files directly.

Deno's runtime is a bunch of JavaScript APIs + TypeScript typings so that they can be understood by TypeScript code.
