I’d challenge the notion that you don’t like EDM, especially when there is some you like.

When I was a kid, I was a pretty picky eater. Then one day I was in a sandwich shop, and someone ordered a type of ham sandwich that I’d never get, but clearly a lot of people do. It made me think, “wow there’s a lot of people who do like it, so maybe there’s something to it. And I should want to like it too, because if I did, then I would have more things to enjoy in life.”

That principal has taken me quite far. If your default view is that you want to like things, it’s amazing how much your previous objections can crumble. Usually it’s not just about exposure (to the “right 10%”), but also your mindset.

he had a recent interview where he addressed this directly: his philosophy is that there's too much crappy stuff out there that's heavily promoted and branded, and so he's trying to get the language to a place where it's stable and worth using before he does a general release / chooses an actual name. It's in closed beta now.
Programmers will also use up all the shampoo if the label says "lather, rinse, repeat" with no explicit termination condition.
Yes, perhaps the lesson here is that one should do some basic investigation on whether an approach has any fatal flaws before spending 2 years working on it.
I generally agree with that, with the caveat that the top 10% of anything is closer to indistinguishable. For example, there's a very clear difference between Paris, France and Paris, Texas. However, once we've narrowed the category down to "popular vacation destinations" or something like that I think the differences are narrowed.
> Or you know, because they disallow dynamic code execution of arbitrary downloaded code in apps, and JIT JS compilers do just that.

No, they explicitly disallow other implementations, whether they JIT or not. Since Apple's WebKit is missing so many features, this has the effect that GP noted.

"2.5.6 Apps that browse the web must use the appropriate WebKit framework and WebKit Javascript."

Its totally absurd to think there is _no_ way to stop it.
All it takes is money. There may be no legal ground for a state to do this but technically it sure is possible.
There is also no need to ever attack the network itself. All that matters is the price. By buying BTC and creating a bubble a state could crash the price so dramatically that it would be very unlikely to recover. Imagine if the price would just go up from no on until lets say 1 million USD per BTC that's +3000% maybe over the span of 1 or 2 years.
Then sell and let it crash probably -99.9%
I'd still be worth 1k USD but at the same time no one but the original crypt anarchist would care anymore.
Would that cost a shitload of money? yes millions, but technically a state could print that money so it doesn't really matter something like tether could do this basically for free. Also since they know when they let it crash they can recover a huge chuck of what they put in simply by shorting the top.
Way simpler and cheaper than building mining farms that would be worthless after successfully destroying BTC.
Remember the goal would not be to technically turn it off just render it irrelevant. Thats what people got wrong. They think the state would want to shut it down but putting it back to where it was 10 years ago would totally be sufficient.

Be that as it may, and maybe they shouldn’t be free. But I don’t think they should be in prison either. You can have your freedom punitively stripped away from you without being held in prison.
> I imagine that this isn't the norm, though.

Agree. This is an anecdote to frame my point, not a statistical claim.

> How much do hospitals cost where you live?

Unjustifiably, prohibitively expensive. They were asking for money specifically to go to the hospital.

> What were they going to do with the others?

Not immediately tossing the clothes into the dirt in front of my friend, for one. My friend spent time sorting and folding the clothes before coming back outside to the homeless man waiting on the porch. My point is this doesn't really change the ethics.

> Why is this the fault of the homeless person?
It isn't, and I did not intend to have my post interpreted in this way.

All that is beside my point presented at the end of my post, which was elided from your response.

Let me restate my position. If I give a dollar to a homeless person, they may blow it on destructive behavior. Or maybe they led me to falsely believe they needed the help. Point is, that does not excuse not helping at all.
There is no choice in OS for mobile. Its strictly tied to the hardware so I don't see how that could show any kind of user preference without being dominated by hardware preference.

Not just that but put it to the test again at some later date. Tastes can change over time and it’s fine to update your opinions.
I submitted an issue that gives a further >4x speedup with just simple straightforward code (no simd, fastmath or threads).

It's important to make everything a view, and to remember the dots in the right places, otherwise this is quite straightforward.

I believe you can get significant _further_ speedups with better simd vectorization and threading. I made this as simple as possible, to be similar to the python/cython code.

Good luck!

"I tried creating a web browser, and Google blocked me"

Title is very missleading, your web browser works and google does not block you, it's all about DRM.

"For the last 2 years I’ve been working on a web browser that now cannot be completed because Google, the creators of the open source browser Chrome, won’t allow DRM in an open source project."

This is crap, you should probably have known that before starting the project? As a dev it should be some common sense that you can't just playback 4k video from Netflix with a built-in Browser.
This is an interesting idea. I use Org-mode, so I'm thinking about doing this: I have a set of searches I run every week or so to find tasks or projects to archive (which places them in a separate file that I can still search, but is not in my face in my main TODO files): https://github.com/telotortium/doom.d/blob/ceb88ea05a2c8a5d5....

Right now I just archive tasks and projects that have been completed or cancelled, but I'm thinking about archiving all tasks and projects I haven't worked on for at least a quarter. That way I can essentially forget about them but still be able to locate them if I really need them.
Ask HN: Would anyone be interested in a Hacker News to debate politics?
HN is usually not the right place for heated debate. Discussions end up in flame wars, vitriolic language, and the moderation is very ad-hoc. But people definitely love to debate.

I am envisaging a platform that allows the community to structure and "type-check" (loosely) arguments.

The key I feel is to allow people to post as they normally would and then allow annotation tools to structure arguments. Essentially a super easy UX to carry out [argument mapping](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_map).

The goal would be to find as much as possible that people agree on (definitions, evidence) and then to focus the arguments on the specific points of contention.

I can imagine a template of logical argument forms such a "X should do Y when Z" which would need to be filled in for an argument to be valid.

Its usually difficult to come to an objective truth when arguing, so another key point is tracking consistency of argument. This is a great way to invalidate an argument. If someone makes a claim like "X should do Y when Z", if they are caught saying "X should not do Y when something similar to Z" then its a great way to invalidate an argument and unearth bias without having to examine the rest of the argument.

I want to bring back the art of debate!
More importantly, it's logistically impossible to ban code.
Given that Go also supports binary packages, those tools won't help much there.
When items have reliable quality we call them commodities and suddenly stop noticing their quality.
I doubt that this was anything but a natural object.

That said, our civilization already has the technology to send a probe to another star system. It may take 100k years to get there, but it could be done if we wanted to. Theoretically, sending a tiny probe within a human life time isn't that far out of reach.

I don't think we can discount the general possibility based on our own capabilities, limitations, and motivations. If we were not constrained by our biology, maybe spending thousands of years in transit wouldn't be a big deal. Or maybe a few gram payload is all we need to explore the neighborhood.
> Keep your identity small. “I’m not the kind of person who does things like that” is not an explanation, it’s a trap. It prevents nerds from working out and men from dancing.

Good one! Subjective identity is merely one's perspective on one's own past experience...why turn the future into the ultimate risk.
Are there any guides / heuristics on how a layperson can evaluate technical literature?

For example my mother-in-law is starting to micro-dose lithium and cited this article as evidence: https://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2020/12/lithium-and-a...

Which cites 19 medical journals. The website itself reeks of bullshit, but how can I tell if the journals it cites are valid or just woo?
I am not an expert of *NIX OS, but in my two years of learning the philosophy of the OS I noticed that almost every implementation of a GUI concept or idea has it origin from CLI, the GUI is just a manner of automating things in a way that once you know what to write to the computer to do what you want to achieve, that task remains in the form of that button, but again in my opinion a button is just another abstraction of an "alias" in the CLI for a command or just a text file whit a script, it is useful for some cases to have buttons, for example editing a video in CLI is not a optimal choice for that task, I mean you can but probably will take you much more time, specially if you don't know the tool, but in the other hand, almost every video editing GUI app uses "ffmpeg" ( a CLI app and library) as it backed, so probably learning ffmpeg will teach you how to use almost every app of video editing out there. Text editing in my opinion is so slow in a GUI except for some programs like emacs, gvim and others (but whit proper extensions), and with a bit of knowledge you can achieve the same or maybe if you are persistent and develop the love for the CLI a more powerful "button" for your development environment that fits exactly your needs, and it immediately gives you more freedom, you never will to wait until the next version of your spyder or what ever IDE out there to make something you want to do, and if it fails you know how to fix it because you wrote it, that said, REPL came from "SLIME" that means "Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs", ergo, emacs users have been using REPL long time ago before, even before spyder or any "modern" IDE we actually have, that said, there is a plugin for vim too called vim-slime inspired by SLIME, where you can send words, lines, block or whole text files from your editor to other app, lets say tmux, your browser or any others, so vim, vim-slime plugin, tmux and a script to send text from your editor to shell executing python or ipython3 console or python-qtconsole gives you the REPL feature that is so acclaimed these days, and I want to say that since I implemented it for python development until now, it never crashed, so really I do not miss nothing from any IDE out there jeje, I hope some one who read this out there, expanded his main a bit and break some limitations with these little tip!. I'm currently changing mi mind for a better life in the shell, so any useful resource you want share with me or correction to me, will be received gracefully.
The “force” is the part that is incorrect, or at least misleading. The go approach is to encourage people to handle it at the call site, and you can use extra tooling to enforce it.

Once you get that point, there is no contradiction.
I’ve also been around for donkeys years, and I agree mostly. Certain topics bring the “screw you, got mine” opinions back out of the woodworks at times, but yeah it’s far less prevalent.
The wine example is a tricky one because there's another metric aside from like/dislike or good/bad that wine falls into. Maybe class related status bullshit?

I enjoy wine, but I also recognize a lot of the snobbiness about it (particularly at the high end) is a mixture of snake oil and rich people looking for a place to buy more status.

I remember some interview on NPR with a wine expert. The host was asking why in all the double blind trials people aren't able to consistently rate wines or even have consistent preferences. The wine expert complained that it's the fault of doing it double blind and 'when they're present with the people' (and likely giving them obvious clues about what's supposed to be good or not) 'they can tell the difference'.

There's good/bad, like/dislike, but there's also true and fraud, high status and low status. Sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference, sometimes there isn't a difference.

Just a reminder, that for every reinstated project there is bunch of other that are going to die without public support.

So no, the problem did not get resolved.
The story behind it is interesting; critics complained about the low-quality of typical sci-fi. Sturgeon observed that 90% of novels in any genre (or pieces of art in general) are garbage, so the observation that "90% of sci-fi is crap" does not speak to the quality of sci-fi as a genre.

Yeah, I think where the trouble starts is when people take preferences as a declaration of some kind of Kantian universal imperative. So someone else’s taste becomes a judgment on you as a person. This drives people bananas on the internet, where you don’t have to treat other people like, you know, people. In particular, I think this accounts for the frothing rage that video game reviews can generate.

For my part, I’m just glad I grew out of giving a shit what kind of music other people like.
I'm not sure this is news to anyone. In Asia, I saw plenty of advertisements for air purifiers, googled the topic and bought one.

I'm guessing the main issue is that good ones are too expensive for many people, similar to how eating exclusively high quality food is too pricey for the average worker.
> Going from spending $X to spending $X+Y is often not a big deal

Except when $Y == $1000X. Then it really is a big deal.

When you only have a tiny minority of RHEL hosts that you have full support contracts on, and an overwhelming majority of CentOS hosts that you administer in-house, it really isn't trivial.

It's almost certainly cheaper to migrate to Oracle or Rocky. Migrations aren't cheap either.
It doesn't matter where the number was pulled from. The point is this looks like Biden did it as part of his presidency and that is completely dishonest. If you tell me you're going to 100m in the first 100 days that means the number starts at 0 on your first day.

For those who don't like "EDM", there is still hope: Good quality techno by established musicians can be had every weekend at Techno-club.net. It's a pay-for site with a reasonable cost, similar to a ticket price you'd get at a club for a night.

I almost gave up on trying to wade through some of the crap on the latest and greatest music subscription services. Sometimes you just gotta let the underground artists take care of things!

The amount of sun exposure necessary depends on latitude, time of day, weather, skin color, diet, etc. There's no simple answer. Probably the best approach for most people is to get a periodic blood test and then adjust sun exposure and supplementation up or down as needed.
honestly, I find the fediverse a bit too distributed and fractured to have any relevance. Creating an account for each new instance is a pain in the ass, and franky, no one really wants to do that.

I pretty stopped posting on all my fediverse accounts because what is the point? No one I personally know wants to switch over and the instances have little user interaction.
The induced demand aspect is one I've found interesting for a long time.

The linked studies are interesting, but they seem to be looking at just short-term impacts, which I don't think would reveal anything of a potential "high demand -> new housing -> new commercial/business development to serve and take advantage of higher density -> even higher demand -> higher prices" cycle.

In developed countries, prices seem to be highest in the most developed, densest cities, which is why I suspect this loop exists.

(The counter-argument, which you could make based on SF, would probably be something like "a business cycle of growth like that can happen even without new residential construction, and then you just have even higher prices and more displacement as a result than if you'd built residential to match the business growth." But I wonder if this is ideal for the long-term health of the city or state/country at large, in cases of a bubble or compared to some of that business growth being spread out in more regions.)
Don't all older people get the term in Russia, e.g. as a kid, if your father's friend showed up, he'd say "Meet Uncle Vlad"?
And yet, stuff does all the time. We see wandering objects enter and leave our solar neighborhood.

It's just a matter of time - perhaps on human timescales its inconceivable. But that's a problem with humans, not with interstellar travel.
Two thoughts:

1) I think the view that “90% of people are crap” is incredibly misanthropic, cynical, and a view that would likely make the world a worse place if widely adopted.

2) I think enjoying the 90% of crap is maybe more important than enjoying the 10% of not crap.

Being able to enjoy bad movies, bad music, bad art, bad everything is great. Who wouldn’t want to increase the amount of things they could enjoy by 2x or 3x or 9x? I watched Battlefield Earth recently and it was a blast! One of my favorite shows is How I Met Your Mother (which is "crap" if you define "crap" as "less than the 90th percentile in that medium"...it's prolly a 70 or 80th percentile show).

Why be an elite who turns their nose up at things when you can enjoy both the things the elites like AND the things they sneer at? Sign me up for the trash!
I'm guessing the DRM has in effect has to be protected from the Russian and Chinese, both of who use forks of the open part of Chromium. Even servo doesn't have support for Wildvine, unlike gecko.
Fascinating. This is how I build my programs. I never knew it had a particular name for the style. I just assumed it was functional-style programming.

This allows me to build ever greater programs, that does very complicated things, and has thousands of lines of code and logic, but everything gets boiled down to small bite-sized pieces.

It’s a more data oriented approach. And it seems to follow an assembly line model.

I liken it to building code pyramids. Where I keep stacking and chaining one function to another, to build even bigger pyramids.

At the end, all the code is heavily unit tested, and I have a high degree of trust in the fidelity of the codebase.

>Then there’s relationships. Think there’s no one out there who can make you happy? Maybe you haven’t climbed out of your 90% of crappy relationships yet. Keep looking

There is no one that can make you happy. That's up to you. There are people that you can work well with and build a good relationship. That good relationship can help with the happiness but your attitude matters more.
There are many opinions here that are rather do not follow your idea as-is, but I would like to say do not give up if your project is even dedicated for only your use-case. I believe, you already know the way how you write data is exactly what s-expressions in Lisp/Scheme languages are. I have been working in an editor, which has similar syntax but is really dedicated to create easy A4/letter paper print-outs instead of just typical documents. It is really works nice and if you will come with tooling (editor, components, mixins), very low/gradual learning and good execution you might cut out some market share if you will target specific niche if you already know.

About the syntax and tooling - if you target typical user who already knows Word or Markdown, you should also try out to resemble the "actions" they typically would do. I mean, if I would need to create a list item, I think I will support the hyphens or star notation. They are kind of an idiom of a list item already. The same fact is that you can think out of competing with LaTeX in terms of typesetting, pdf rendering, ease of embedding graphs or being a Jupyter notebook/orgmode competitor in terms of running inlined code (i.e. code block), out-of-the-box layout formatting (report, 2-columns, article) etc. etc.
