I just browsed https://aclu.org, seeing nothing of the sort. No idea what the tweet says, because Twitter is broken for me ( something about JS ).
Yeah over-stretching can be an issue or multiple characters using the same phrases. However, in other languages it’s more normal to have these situations as they don’t have as many options to choose from. One interesting thing is when you begin learn one of those languages, initially, one might feel that speech is filled with overused phrases, but when you think about it, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using the same phrase to describe the same situation. In English there’s a linguistic tug to use one phrase at beginning of a sentence and to end it with a synonymous phrase at the end: “Be deliberate in your speech, avoid uhhms and ahhs; people notice those things and ding your speech, so avoid fillers, meaningless utterances distract listeners. Your audience will perceive it and will discount your oration”

Ok oration is overwrought but you get my pint.

THANK YOU for posting this link. This is really helpful in explaining what the law actually says.
I started having problems with my elbow and two (when looking at my palm) innermost fingers (pinky and ring fingers). At the beginning I thought it's tennis elbow, but then started having problems with my neck as well and getting dizzy (vertigo, headache and sometimes nausea) when lying down and getting up from the bed. I've noticed that that happens most when my head is on flat surface and even more when it reclines back (when a physiotherapist lowered my head below the flat surface of the bed I was ling on). Did anyone experience something like this or has any advice?

I did have an ultrasound and EMG (electromyography) done which did not show any problems in my elbow.

I do exercise for my neck now and hope that will help... I might add some exercises from the OP to my routine.

PS. Funnily my problems (at the beginning it was only elbow and fingers) started during lockdown, when I finally started doing yoga-type exercises and I felt like I'm getting better at it (I think it's just coincidence, not causation though).
But the question here was different: did the ban produce any measurable effect in the two years since it has been established?

For example, we may have replaced neonicotinoids with massive use of something else, causing even worse problems.

My guess would be that we just don't have the data, but it's an interesting question.
AFAIK this doesn't (can't) override GitHub's site-wide guidelines: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/site-...
Two other apps for fluidics from the old days were nuclear reactors which are full of hyper-purified water and implantables in the body like maybe your internal insulin pump in the year 2050 would have an insulin dosing program written in fluid mechanics of blood powered by blood pressure.

If we could just find a problem for the fluidics solution... Kinda like lasers in 1960, it works so now what do we do with it?

The other interesting fluidics note is its been popular in hard sci fi for decades (well, for certain very small values of popular). The problem with fluidics is you need a pretty big digital computer to optimize the fluid mechanics and fancy digital computers to run the CNC machines to carve out the 3-d shapes. But if you could be VERY patient to do the calculations by hand and find a way to make the processors using 2-d photolithography maybe space aliens would have a fluidic technology.

Another interesting note is this scales by size and speed of sound in liquid so its always going to be slower than photonics or electronics. But, the computational power to do "stuff" seems to scale on a power law so the invisible hand of cheapness means your smart thermostat for a hydronic hot water heating system would inevitably be fluidic in nature given an infinite number of years of market pressure. Yeah, a "big easy to mess with by hand" system is as slow as a pocket calculator, but we sold the world a heck of a lot of pocket calculators over the decades and if you shrink the dimensions by a million and increase pressure modestly and you could run a fluidic cell phone, perhaps.

Because the goal here is to promote speech about fascism, not speech in general, and linking to a fascist gets more publicity for fascism.
> It sounds like you're really just mad because the big companies don't moderate evenly enough for you.

You're actually not too far off. I'm mad that companies are protected unevenly relative to normal people, which allows them to moderate unevenly and have no risk of downside resulting from their decisions. A law which protects a company when they do no moderation, but sets no restrictions on who they can moderate is lopsided. My personal viewpoint is in favor of having some standard of moderation, but the inconsistency is frustrating. I lean towards moderation, but I think we ought to be choosing between the options of "some moderation standard/required" or "no moderation allowed," and not the current option which privatizes the gains and forces losses onto the public. If Facebook decides not to moderate a hate group, they get ad revenue from all that traffic. But if that hate group, which Facebook is enabling, organizes an event where they march through a city and beat someone up, then I think that person should be able to sue Facebook (as well as pressing criminal charges and suing the people that performed the beating). The person that got beaten up would still have to demonstrate to the court that Facebook played some role in enabling the beating, even without Section 230.

So where would I set the bar? I would set it at the level that a company isn't at fault if their platform has the right kind or amount of moderation that the bad event that happened was unusual or couldn't have been expected. If someone gets hurt because Facebook didn't police an openly Nazi group, they should be liable. If someone gets hurt because Facebook has decent moderation procedures in place but the Nazi group was sneaky and posed as a sports fan club and used coded messages, then I think Facebook would have a pretty easy defense even without Section 230.

And you make it seem like judges are wildly political and the legal system is unreliable. There are a few bad judges, but 99% of cases that would be brought in the absence of Section 230 are so openly shut that they would be settled before they went to court. And in the cases that went to court, most judges are good people and want to do the right thing, regardless of their political leanings. The political affiliation of a judge really only matters when an issue is close and tough to call. Let's not give wholesale protection to tech companies from all of the obvious and easily decidable cases where they should be held responsible just because we're worried about a few bad calls.

Keep it simple, use boring tech, etc. We know. The whole issue is what is boring, what angle we wish to view simplicity/complexity from. These pretty much always boil down to “what I like”. What I like is simple and boring, your stuff is shiny and overengineered.

If I could write code and attend meetings while I walk around, I’d be out walking and hiking all day. I’m imagining some fantasy where I could wear lightweight AR sunglasses and use gestures and/or voice control and somehow be able to do everything I do with my desktop. I’m not sure it’s realistic even ten years from now, but I’m also not sure this kind of setup is out of reach either. I use standing & treadmill desks on and off. They’re good for taking care of my body, but take effort to use consistently, and have some tradeoffs.

The only difference as far as I can tell is the chosen method of execution for a country. Gallows have been the standard for execution in the US like guillotines were the standard in France.

Lynchings typically didn't employ gallows, they most often employed trees. The commonality between them was that both involved nooses.
If the weather was bad it could also be caused by a pilot getting disoriented, or perhaps an instrument failure. Plenty of aircraft with perfectly working flight controls have been nosedived to the ground either due to spatial disorientation, or pilots believing a faulty attitude indicator.

Of course suicide is another possibility in such cases.
It still blows my mind how they landed that rover on Mars.

Heat shield to use the atmosphere to aerobreak. Then it opened the largest hypersonic parachute ever to slow it down further (dropping the heat shield after it opened). Then eventually it cut off the parachute, turned on rockets, and flew sideways so that it didn't run back into the parachute. THEN, to avoid spitting up too much dust during landing, it lowered the rover on a 21 foot tether down to the surface, while hovering above it, before flying away to crash somewhere safe.[0]

It's so ridiculous you'd think it came from a movie. And it worked.

I am currently building a (open-source) hiking and mountaineering equipment management web app.

An early prototype is at https://www.zaino.io . It's a bit rough around the edges (does not work on mobiles, not a lot of features, some UX issues probably) but core functionality should work.

> Jesus Christ how many times do I have to point out that China is linguistically unified and that the Hong Kongese have no significant cultural differences to justify independence. The burden of proof lies on you to disprove me. Countries don't stay unified for centuries without a linguistic and cultural common ground.

So basically you're just stating opinions as facts and then claiming it's my job to disprove these "facts". Okay fine like I said in my last post we've made our positions clear and I don't see any point in going back and forth. Believe what you wish.

> And I can't reply to your comments because of rate limiting on HackerNews. No need to be extremely passive aggressive about it.

There's nothing "extremely passive aggressive" about pointing out that your posting style is extremely hard to follow. Maybe you should consider posting less frequently so that you're not rate-limited? Anyway I'll stop this discussion here so that you can focus on all the other posts you're apparently making. Maybe the extra bandwidth will allow you to post normally in the other conversations at least.
Every time I go looking for one of these open alternatives it’s filled with fringe conspiracy theorists, actual racists, etc. Example is LBRY. Bryan Lunduke says he’s switching off YouTube for LBRY, so I go there to check it out. Top trending video is some white supremacist thing why I shouldn’t forget my ancestry. Search for “how to repair furnace”, second result is video how Epstein is alive. Even Lunduke is taking the opportunity to start his red-pilled politics channel. I have similar story with Mastodon.

The fundamentals are there but the big challenge is no censorship actually makes these smaller platforms something that people don’t want to use.

Same for me, deadlifts and squats (with good form) kept away my lower back pain. One caveat, when I first started there was a bit of a learning curve on how to get core bracing and posture right, and bad form made my back a bit sore.

Speaking as someone who use to work for R&D within the industry (in the resource allocation space), the OIO (the name for the FCC's implementation of net neutrality) injected a significant amount of regulatory uncertainty into our work resulting in dried up funding from certain sources. The rules themselves were expansive and went well beyond the existing status quo in a number of different ways.

As an example, the OIO had lots of carve-outs for what they termed "specialized services" in the text; however, what would be considered a specialized service in the future was ambiguous as the definition wasn't governed by any principled approach. Some of my colleagues more familiar with regulatory policy said it would be a minimum of 10 years before we even began to get a clearer picture of how the rules would work in practice. To give a concrete example, we're essentially in year 6 of Net Neutrality in the EU and we still have no clear guidance on how certain important aspects of 5G (such as network slicing) will interact with it.

There was an immediately-flagkilled comment (on a post about free speech, lol) which I agree with and want to reply to:

> Funny, since on HN I keep seeing comments about how the are not neutral and only fight for left-wing causes.

I literally had this argument last week when I said that the only times people advocate "free speech" in practice are when they're advocating the freedom to advocate and enact fascism. Someone was like "but what about the ACLU???"

Fun fact: The Nazis never ended up marching in Skokie, despite the court case. Their goal wasn't to make their views known (their views were known). Their goal was to harass small municipalities with significant Jewish populations, and the ACLU said, "Sure, we'll help."

I still don't think the ACLU is a fascist organization, to be clear, but on the free speech front they've done way more advocacy for fascism (which will crush free speech if permitted to take power) than literally anything else.

But in this case - where it's about a private company, so there isn't even a legal right, and when there's a serious proposal on the table to harm free speech by gutting Section 230 to preserve people's "right" to force a private entity, whether Twitter or a tiny phpBB, to carry their speech - I'm starting to worry.
It may be a safe assumption that it is targeted advertising. Scammers like to target the vulnerable, such as the elderly. Google and fb make that easier than ever.
That’s hardly a condemnation. The ACLU is just using this as a jumping off point to discuss the broader issue of social media companies’ power over online speech.

Thanks for the kind words. I completely understand the cynicism, especially when it comes to the front end / javascript scene. I'm not entirely sure if the title I chose has helped or hindered more, but it has fuelled some discussion at least and I've got some good feedback and even a first contribution, so it's definitely been worthwhile.

Its not really half baked but was stuck in a loop of adding new features on top , while starting the project , i was pumped up to build it.

it is like google keep, but for storing and sharing code snippets, most of the ui is inspired from google keep and i have added more features on top of that, i named it codekeep (google keep for code snippets)
i can summarize codekeep as ,
Codekeep lets you organize your code snippets by assigning labels or grouping into folders. generate code screenshots, share and discover reusable snippets.

you can check it out on https://codekeep.io,
i also built several templates for taking codescreenshots as well, by generating codescreenshots you can share it on social media, and link it on codekeep , so that they can click / copy the snippets, without you having to take codescreenshot on one site, put snippet in gist.

let me know your thoughts

Of all the things I could have commented on, I have to call out this last line simply because I only just saw a YouTuber last week 3D-print a part for a project he was working on: the part was the exact size and shape of a 4-inch long piece of standard PVC pipe you could pick up from Home Despot for a few bucks and saw the length you wanted in a few seconds.
This has been in the news again lately with Apple Silicon. The ARM architecture has a weaker memory model than x86 in that it does not normally provide "total store ordering". Under that memory model, if thread A executes (from an initially zeroed heap):

a = 1; b = 1;

then thread B can safely execute:

if (b == 1) assert(a == 1);
if (a == 0) assert(b == 0);

x86 provides this guarantee, but ARM does not -- thread B might see the b=1 write before the a=1 write.

Apple Silicon has a runtime toggle (https://old.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/i0mido/apple_sili...) to provide for that behaviour, which greatly improves performance of translated x86 code (i.e. the translator does not need to insert precautionary memory barriers).
