Amazing things can happen when cellular automata have symmetries. Conserve number and momentum and you're a few steps from the HPP gas [0]. Make the momentum flow a bit more isotropic, and you are on your way to the FHP gas [1]. The history I remember is that Hasslacher and Wolfram had overlapped at the IAS early 1980s. On the summer of 1985 Hasslacher visited Frisch in Nice. It was there that they guessed that the hexagonal lattice might brake the strange conservation laws of HPP. After that it was a few days until they had a set of rules for the lattice gas fluid in 2d. From France Hasslacher called Shimomura at Los Alamos and asked him if could implement them. In a few days Shimomura has a crowd staring at his screen watching a simulation of a fluid flow past an obstacle shedding vortices in real simulation time. We can do that today with our smartphones, but at the time it must have been a first.

Those regulations wouldn’t be needed if our industry could govern itself and act in healthy, responsible ways.

Unethical data collection leads to regulation, which leads to less innovation in the long term. Fight for ethical behaviour in your company and team and we can, en masse, delay the need for that.

And as for regulation, if it were up to me I’d make EULAs mostly unenforceable. Which would give leave for the people and companies affected by security breaches like this to sue anyone and everyone responsible. Which, by the way, is how the law is designed and how it works in every other facet of life. Sell a faulty ladder that kills someone? Get sued for negligence.
The CEO literally was personally banning anyone who posted anything left-wing, and yet claims that he's for "free speech". It's laughable.

If he wasn't cynically cashing in, then he's not a very deep thinker either.

They literally welcomed pro-saudi comment farms to their service as well:

“The nationalist movement of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has made it known that big tech is censoring them at rates we have never experienced in the United States,” Parler wrote in a post on its own account on the site. “Let us welcome them as we all fight for our rights together.”

Reminder: Saudi crown prince, Mohammad bin Salman, ordered the assassination of a US journalist not that long ago. So, in a sense, Parler is really the social network of choice for dictators and extremists.

If a country bans bitcoin then the mining difficulty will adjust and the hashing continues elsewhere. Much like other p2p networks, Bitcoin is a borderless hydra that simply cannot be stopped.
A lot of non-American's get the cause and effect reversed. Free speech is in the Constitution because the people of America cherish the idea. People don't cherish free speech because of the 1st Amendment or the Constitution. Just because the 1st Amendment is limited in its powers does not mean American's like (or should like) speech limitations.

It's ironic that there's probably no bigger sales pitch for jQuery than this site.

In every single example, the jQuery version is basically one or two lines of code, versus 10-15 lines for the alternative. (and the jQ version seems significantly easier on the eyes as well.)

Also, jQuery supports promises and has for quite a while.

This page hasn't aged well. I've come full circle and am now using jQuery again.
I don't think they previously used the word "apartheid".
Other reasons for the U.S. salaries not mentioned yet:

0) Banning of non-competes in Silicon Valley (!!) and ease of incorporation / listing on markets back in the 90's and before

1) Foreign investment in the U.S. (Saudi, Chinese, Russian money due to favorable treatment, anonymity (!)) and presence of U.S. dollar worldwide as a reserve currency - lots of that money ended up in Silicon Valley (Softbank etc). This especially matters since a lot of the compensation is in RSUs and the U.S. stocks have benefitted from above.

2) DotCom bubble because of (1) inflated salary expectations; U.S. had a head start over other countries also because of the DotCom bubble.

3) Personal bankruptcy laws are more lax than Europe I believe (although I'm not positive), since you can discharge all personal debt in a bankruptcy, cost of risk is lower (leads to more risk taking).

4) Gap between EU/US salaries has varied depending on exchange rate. Generally the way the world economy is set up tends to strengthen the dollar (everyone needs them to transact oil and pay foreign obligations after 1971/1974). That might be changing though; with a weaker dollar salary gap will naturally shrink.

5) As people mentioned before: vacation, school, healthcare cost differentials (though my hunch is that this is a small effect if any)

6) U.S. is a unified market of ~300 million people, most speaking English. EU is many smaller distinct markets because of language & cultural reasons (more-so than U.S. states), so more effort required for growth.

Probably some other reasons that slipped my mind at the moment.
If you expect me to read anything from r/politics with any level of seriousness...but aside from that...

Okay, he lied a lot (A LOT!), and ultimately turned up the temperature in the room, but at no time did he say "go invade the capitol". In fact in the last speech right before the event he mentioned that "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." The key word being peacefully. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's been voted out. But let's tell the truth.

>> “We inherently do not trust people living in poverty,” says Claire Williams, co-founder of FSC. “If you think of something like income assistance, welfare, even employment insurance, we make the burden of proof so high for people to access those benefits because we fundamentally assume that people are trying to cheat the system.”

But also I think about how much crap they put up with in those roles, and how relatively low-stress my life is, and then I feel better about it. They're cut out for that kind of job, and I most certainly am not.

B'tselem's actual report is as good a case for why Israel should be understood as an apartheid society privileging Jews as any we are going to make here in comments. They spent time researching it and writing it, unlike our off the cuff comments.

I understand it will not convince you either, but I hope you will read it.

A Regime of Jewish Supremacy from the River to the Sea: This is Apartheid
https://www.btselem.org/publications/fulltext/202101_this_is...

> Israel accords Palestinians a different package of rights in every one of these units – all of which are inferior compared to the rights afforded to Jewish citizens. The goal of Jewish supremacy is advanced differently in every unit, and the resulting forms of injustice differ: the lived experience of Palestinians in blockaded Gaza is unlike that of Palestinian subjects in the West Bank, permanent residents in East Jerusalem or Palestinian citizens within sovereign Israeli territory. Yet these are variations on the fact that all Palestinians living under Israeli rule are treated as inferior in rights and status to Jews who live in the very same area.

> Detailed below are four major methods the Israeli regime uses to advance Jewish supremacy. Two are implemented similarly throughout the entire area: restricting migration by non-Jews and taking over Palestinian land to build Jewish-only communities, while relegating Palestinians to small enclaves. The other two are implemented primarily in the Occupied Territories: draconian restrictions on the movement of non-citizen Palestinians and denial of their political rights. Control over these aspects of life lies entirely in Israel’s hands: in the entire area, Israel has sole power over the population registry, land allocation, voter rolls and the right (or denial thereof) to travel within, enter or exit any part of the area.
You must decouple in person interactions from site content. So you can have a site filled with philosophy, historical analysis, generalized activism tips, technical information, etc but not a site that directly facilitates in person meetups or calls to action or plans real world activities.
So just going through this. Does it’s methodology say that you keep all your notes in one directory? It’s note very descriptive about this.
Not who you replied to, but: you're probably thinking Frontend->Backend->DB or similar, right? Frontend runs in browser and is either served by its own container or the backend, backend is in a containerized server, DB in something more persistent.

Except, the reality is it's Frontend->Backend->DB->Storage. To some extent, the DB is just a standardized (and very quick) caching/sorting mechanism in front of an SSD, HDD, network drive, whatever. Storage can be separate and persistent, even if the DB is in a container and gets killed/dies.

If that's the case, then even if the DB is in an ephemeral container the backing storage should always survive. With it, you can bring up a new DB container with all the same data being available.

So yes, your passwords etc are in the "DB", but really they're in storage on disk. Yeah, your app won't work well if the DB disappears, but that's a given no matter whether your DB is in a container or somewhere else. Once it's back up, everything should work fine.
It’s so funny to look at this crazy economy where these companies are worth tens and even hundreds of billions and say you know, the people who helped build this really make too much money.

I agree and think strong emphasis should be on how a knowledge base saves its files, which should be very interoperable.

I build my own little DSLs and have my own experimental
knowledge base studio going, where I can edit things using
my editors (Sublime, VSCode and Vim), view/query/visualize
in my web browser, and also view/edit in a spreadsheet web
interface using Handsontable.

The secret trick is all the DSLs use a thing I work on
called Tree Notation (some use an even dumber version
simply called Grid Notation). It's a plain text notation
that just defines lists of words (aka cells) on a line (aka
a node or row) and if you indent a line it becomes a child
of the parent line (like python) providing support for tree
structures and scope. That's the basics, and then on top of
that you can design all sorts of DSLs with types and very
different parsing strategies than traditional languages.

For example, here's a Tree Language called Dumdown that
compiles to markdown or html:
https://jtree.treenotation.org/designer/#standard%20dumbdown

But that's still a relatively traditional language. I have
some languages which generally you want to use a spreadsheet
interface to write programs in, where you can just plop a
tree anywhere on the sheet, and then start writing trees.
Those ones are kind of like having a canvas for your project
instead of a folder with files. Makes for a good base for
building DSLs for simulations.

Sorry, I digress, but my purpose in bringing this up is that
if anyone is working on personal knowledge base software
like the OP, Tree Notation is a pretty useful thing, if you
can figure it out. I've got it figured out but not very good
at explaining it.

> I don't want to have to think about the political beliefs of a CEO before deciding to use a service.

ffs no joke! I was embarrassed for what Expensify did, and if my company used that service we would have dropped them in a hot second. IDK why “we’ll stfu and do our job” isn’t the default anymore.
Let's hope so! The more we diversify our social media consumption as a society the better off we all are. Well, other than Jack and Mark.
And from the same speech "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
A SWE might make like 5 times what a teacher makes but a CEO can make like 1000 times what a SWE makes (eg $50k for the teacher, $250k for the SWE, and $250M for the CEO).
This Democrats vs Republicans story can go down to some low-level stuff. Some of the people "won" in recent decades. They typically live in city, having higher income, enjoying good life and the new technologies. And they have the view points that the others have never had.

Let's say, people in cities are more willing to use EV car. People in small city / rural area are less motivated because of weaker infrastructure. This is unfair to ask the people in small city to make this change if they are not provided enough help :-/

I am afraid people in two sides are getting more divided and more extreme. Don't forget based on the vote count, it is still a 50:50 but not 90:10 fight.
I'm a recovering workaholic. I have never loved a job that I've had but I love the feeling of accomplishing things or being "done". Often that "done" feeling only came after I was at the office until 8pm.
Large Trader Reporting Requirements Issues Caused by Adobe Flash Player EOL
There were many other options.

The justification they used for banning him was based upon mind-reading and weasel words.

"the President’s statements can be mobilized by different audiences"

So can any number of statements from Democrat politicians and media allies. In fact, in view of the antifa/blm riots, arsons, and looting, it is reasonable to conclude that they were.

"is being received by a number of his supporters"

Who? Where? When? How do they know? And so what? One can't be responsible if a supporter or fan misconstrues some innocuous statement like "I'm not going to this event".

"The second Tweet may also serve as encouragement"

Again, same thing. We can find numerous statements that are outright calls to action from Democrat politicians ("fight them in the streets", "kick them", "create a crowd", "tell them they're not welcome anywhere", etc) as well as tacit support by media allies calling riots peaceful, and hey, if they turn violent, sometimes that's just what it takes.

The simple fact is Twitter, and big tech, supports Democrats and wants them to win. This is seen not only by their actions, but leaked communications from Twitter, Google, Facebook, and others. Remember the Googlers crying in the hallways, or given the equivalent of grief counseling after the last election? Not to mention their political donations are public record, not only corporate and PACs but employees.

The simple fact is there is a standard one side is held to, on which the other side is allowed massive leeway and benefit of doubt, on the simple basis of politics.

And the Parler move WAS cowardly. One can easily find many threats of riot, violence, insurrection, assassination, and mass purging of undesirables on Twitter et al, yet because the decision makers at those companies agree, they're allowed to stand.

If Trump did anything positive in his four years in office, it is exposing what tech and media elites and decision makers really think of those they purport to serve.
Honestly, I'm still mostly getting started in the area as well, but I'm looking to use them for motor control. An example of this would be this paper [1], which I'm hoping to replicate to some degree, but requires at least 4 PWM outputs. I'm currently planning on using an Odroid-C4, which has 6 PWM outputs.

But the work I've needed to put into that in order to get a motor controller working was way more than I needed than for a RPi4b, since libraries for it already exist for the Pi vs needing to re-write them for the Odroid board. It would have been cool to try it with an open-hardware board as well. But it's not just quadcopters--a lot of other projects like rovers or position control with multiple stepper on different axes benefit from extra PWM, and doing it in software can lead to too much jitter, so the hardware timers are necessary.

This is factually false. There was moderation, there were terms of service and they banned appeals to violence from their site. The glee with which so many in tech are celebrating was essentially an attempt at corporate murder, on ideological grounds, is revolting.
The Aubry-Maturin books are fantastic. They are a strange mix of adventure, history, survival, romance, sailing manual, and comedy.

If you like them, also check out the nine book series The Baroque Cycle by Neil Stephenson. It's similarly filled with adventure, history, sailing, mining, intrigue, swashbuckling, mathematics, chemistry, science, economics, bloody swordfighting, and cartography. So you know... normal Neil Stephenson books.

Also, raise those royal topgallants, what is this, a whaling ship?!

What is wrong with you? Literally nobody is saying that.

Holding police accountable is something we should all get behind. Whatever it is you think the "other side" supports sounds like something you picked up from Breitbart. Get real man.
TPB never supported absolute free speech. I can't find it now, but they used to have a section of their site where they posted responses to media company lawyers, and they basically said they wouldn't take down anything except child porn. I'm not sure if the rules have changed in the years since.
I feel the same. It is always hard to make these sorts of acquisitions work because the in house team that you're augmenting/replacing always interprets this move as a criticism of their abilities. I've seen this lead to some pretty dysfunctional (and destructive) behavior.
What's the advantage that Elixir has over Erlang?
What we need in 2021 is not this site, it's a youmightnotneedreact.com
Yeah, joining the chorus but this is outdated info. We're running a CockroachDB cluster on top of GKE and the management aspect is excellent. For something like Postgres it's more difficult and we still run that outside of containers, but I'm sure it can be done well also.

Dates were represented as strings in "YYYYMMDD" format (so today would be "20210113053923") instead of UNIX timestamps

Such a representation naturally avoids the Y2K38 problem, and could go beyond Y10K. It's traditional in Windows and DOS (neither of which have the Y2K38 problem) to store timestamps as a structure of fields.

The other things you noted I agree with, however.
I mean, that's like saying: "C'mon he lit a match. Matches can't burn down houses, that's crazy talk. Look how small that fire is!"
> What does bother me a bit is seeing managers who frankly use less of their brains getting paid as much or more.

The statement "use less of their brains" does not necessarily do managers justice. Managers are good at (guess what) managing people, and that takes relationship skills that some people might not have or not good at. Having being both a software engineer and a manager, I would say it takes some special skill to do either work, who gets paid more is up for debate but not necessarily that an engineer should be paid more because they use their "brains" more.

Another example is a CEO who is non-technical. What skills do they have that make them have higher salaries or even bonuses? Guess what, they can make deals happen. They can secure a funding round, they can close an enterprise deal and it takes some special skills to do that as well.
