Nobody is forcing you to write.

I write because it's something I can do. I'm seriously handicapped and there are a lot of things I simply cannot do.

That's a lousy argument. I use myself as an example for various reasons, but the reality is this a widespread problem and the state of journalism is a real problem, as I noted above.

I'm well aware of why people don't like hearing they basically want slave labor. I've listened for years to the reasons people on HN do not like ads, do not like content marketing, etc. I removed ads from my sites and I don't typically use affiliate links.

I use myself as an example in hopes of elucidating the problem space and making it clear that I've studied this for years and I'm not blowing smoke. It's not just me. Writing generally has terrible pay even when it's good quality, etc.

Find some way to help writers pay their bills. The fact that writers exist and that's what they know and there aren't other middle class jobs with good benefits they can readily apply for is an actual issue which negatively impacts the world.

Gig work is up. Benefits are down. Lots of people are underpaid, underemployed, etc. It isn't just writers.

As for medicine, our medical system is probably even more messed up than what we do to writers. We actively incentivize a system of keeping you drugged up and limping along and yadda.

But I'm sure people are even less interested in hearing that than in hearing "If you don't want the shitty internet we've chosen to create, then make other choices that support some other outcome."

I don't intend to spend a whole lot of time arguing it. I've been here a lot of years. I know people don't like hearing this, quickly turn to dismissive personal attacks and ugly justifications. This is hardly some original rebuttal to my points.

I chose to say it anyway because I know most folks here are business people or IT people and haven't thought it through as much as I have. Each individual case of criticism of how people here don't want to support writers seems logical and not a problem in isolation. Most folks here are not on the receiving end going "Wait a minute. This is part of why I remain poor. There's no good means to get paid for what I do, though there is certainly demand for good writing."

This is me telling folks I write, the world makes it really hard for writers to make ends meet, that's part of why you get certain kinds of garbage on the internet.

People can do with that info what they choose, including nothing at all. I've occasionally said such things for years and it seems to make no difference.

But I will likely continue to say something from time to time anyway, even though people think it's appropriate to attack me instead of taking my points seriously. And that's why I say it boils down to an expectation of slave labor because, yeah, people basically get mad at being told "this is why this goes on" rather than going "oh, I had not thought to connect those dots. I shall have to keep that in mind going forward."
Hey, I would prefer back ordering too. Looks like your model is confirmed 100% accurate.
Turn them down (ideally to the point where you can barely see the mist). They don't have to run at full blast to be effective.

> Kotlin methods are final by default unless marked open, and thus nonpolymorphic dispatch unless through an interface.

This is a language construct and not enforced within the byte code. There have historically been reasons to allow final to be ignored, such as serialization. Instead the JIT will optimize and deoptimize based on runtime behavior, allowing it to cover cases where overriding is designed for but not done so in the actual runtime environment. There was a nice presentation on "truly final fields" at the 2018 language summit [1].

In general, yes, an append only log might be weakly "append only". If you want a cryptographic approach look at how forward secure sealing works with systemd. Basically you make a cryptographic ratchet on the system doing the logging such that given some arbitrary key you can find out what the next key is but not the previous one. You generate a verification key that you take off of the system in question at the start and the verification key can be used to efficiently check any part of that series. During operation you sign the log segment you just wrote out on some regular interval and then ratchet the key forward and delete the old key in memory to where even if the system was completely compromised it no longer holds a key that could rewrite the previous log segment.
> Take regular breaks from the medication [...] Sometimes try to do tasks without medication

I can't and won't speak to your experience or your medical advice, but from my experience this is advice I would strongly advise considering your own experience before taking. My experience is that if I miss a dose I'll find myself, hours later, with my brain catastrophically grinding gears and in tears from a panic attack. This isn't from addiction, this is because I've actually adjusted to having a brain chemistry that isn't broken. I was just as much a wreck before I was medicated, I just didn't know and had a lot of really unhealthy self-medication techniques.

I'm well near the highest dose on my medication (Vyvanse) and I still have many of the pros and cons of ADHD. I don't need to play chicken with my brain chemicals to exercise the unique heaven and hell that's in there.
This is exciting. Wonder what it would take to add replying and posting?
It is read-only.
There is ongoing investigation and debate about how GABA supplements work in the body, and how their mechanisms of action may differ from the body’s internally-produced GABA. Specifically, scientists have not reached consensus about whether, or how effectively, supplemental GABA crosses what’s known as the blood-brain barrier — meaning, how well it moves from the bloodstream directly into the brain. There remains real need for additional research into the effects of supplemental GABA, including how it may affect the nervous system via the gut.

As a counterpoint, I've seen lots of people become more accepting because of the way the internet connects people. If you lived in a rural place before, you likely had very little interaction with minority groups outside of how they were portrayed in media. Now it's possible to interact with all kinds of people and recognize them as people instead of stereotypes.

I don't deny that there are echo chambers and major communication breakdowns, but I think on the whole it's a positive development.
Maybe my tap water has more minerals than your tap water. A good bit of slag builds up in my warm-air humidifier, and the white-dust was noticeable after a few weeks of ultrasonic.

Warm-air humidifiers are less efficient: My room is ~25% without any devices running. An ultrasonic would bring it up to 35%+, but Warm-air humidifier only brings it up to 32% or so.

Another efficiency test: both units were 1-quart (EDIT: Not a gallon) units. The warm-air humidifier probably goes through the tank in ~12 hours, while the ultrasonic would go through in ~8.
Just curious for my own sake—is there a board out there with two electrically PCIe 4.0 x16 slots? I was under the impression that Ryzen Zen 3 has just 24 PCIe lanes, and usually four are split out for the chipset, so how could you run both your x16 video card and x16 M.2 carrier simultaneously without linking one at a lower rate?
You might find that your attitude is the problem, and not the industry itself. If you’re so cynical as to compare writing code for a living to human trafficking and sex work, which are very real problems that you have carelessly and insensitively used as a metaphor, maybe you should find a new gig.

And this isn’t about political correctness, either. I don’t care about them. But if you were going to use this metaphor and this style, you better do it well, and you failed. This post isn’t edgy or interesting or novel.
Find what you are really good at and enjoy doing. Cultivate contacts - really tough for nerds, I know. In my case I was downsized at 55 by a multinational, even though I had won a number of internal awards. They had a habit of cycling managers and my last award winning project didn't cut the ice with my new manager. Interestingly my previous manager and VP were downsized a few months later; so the politics weren't working.

If you don't win the start up lottery, IT can dump you out on the street somewhere between 35 & 55.

Think hard about teaching and government once you hit your mid thirties and haven't won the lottery.

There is no comparison between the US and Myanmar. There is absolutely no comparison between Trump and the brutal dictators who hold Burma hostage.

I suppose the Gies family should have walked outside and told the Nazi soldiers they were pieces of shit. That would be the morally right thing to do!? Get a grip. Sometimes speaking truth to power is just fucking dumb.

Do you think Burmese aren’t in the streets protesting because they approve of the government, or because they know they will get shot?

The obsession with defaming ASSK over the evil actions of the military is pathetic. It is so so low and pathetic how the international media relentlessly implies ASSK is secretly a supporter of genocide because she won’t tell the military off in public. All it accomplished was emboldening the military and damaging relations with the civilian government. Just so all the “journalists” could pat themselves on the back for being so courageous.

The conceptual difference is the file format, as with klog the main idea is to have a format that looks and feels “natural”. So when opening a `.klg` file you don’t need to know much about the format in order to make sense of it, yet the data can be parsed and processed. And you can type in the entries by hand in a text editor, due to the simple and memorable syntax.

The data format in timewarrior is more opaque, even though it’s still plain text of course. There are, by the way, also cool projects that use sqlite as underlying datastore, like https://github.com/samg/timetrap , which produces a similar output as timewarrior.

I guess both philosophies have different strengths and weaknesses, depending on what is important to you.

>I don't agree that this is the fault of tech at all.

>The real culprit I believe, has been the incredible hysteria of the legacy media as it joined the social media spaces, and started their race to the bottom for clickbait and outrage porn. Covering inane tweets, and blowing them up to pretend that crackpot points-of-view have more weight and are more common than they truly are. Gotcha gonzo-journalism, that prides "getting them" (whichever group that may be) over informing, and in the process dehumanising large swathes of people for clicks.

Everything you've outlined above is entirely the result of technology and the incentive structures that have been pursued in its "advancement".
I'd suggest approaching the conversation from the POV that you yourself have not fully made up your mind about an issue and would like input.

By genuinely adopting this viewpoint, not only will you likely have a more productive discussion, but you may reconsider some of your own priors.
I loved the ending to the baroque cycle, but otherwise. Yeah. This.

Wow! Very nice too!

Is the main difference the size of the masks? Yours appear to be 8x4, and png2linetext uses 3x3. It would make sense that the output is higher resolution. Maybe we can do better with larger mask sizes? :D

Of course derasterizer also gets more resolution through color, whereas png2linetext uses just black and white.

Edit: Ah, I guess the magic here is `adjudicate`, which selects the closest match. Mine is very dumb in this regard, or I guess is "pre-matched" by me.

Edit2: I'm going to see what happens with a larger mask!

Edit3: Definitely getting some nicer lines but I lose all the details. I think a marching cubes-like algorithm could work really well here.

Edit4: Based on your project I inferred that adding more matches seems to add more resolution and yeah, outputs are looking even nicer now. I updated the repo! I also used shapes which are less sharp rather than "perfect match".
I wish we had the green house gas quotas to smoother the rich people that do this for no benefit.
> Moderation and up/downvoting as a way to filter content.

Scoring (mentioned in the link above) is, exactly, distributed up/downvoting.

To get from there to distributed moderation you just need a way of publishing your votes and something like the PGP Web Of Trust. If people I upvote a lot upvoted it, show it to me. There is lots of interesting crypto work on anonymous verifiable voting that would be relevant here.

If you're worried about an echo chamber, add random noise. If you think people won't do that, well, if they want to make echo chambers for themselves you can't stop that either. Offer them a way out and the smart people will take it; then you can use their upvotes. IMHO most of the echo-chamber problems we have right now with social media are due to the fact that zero control (or even comprehension) over the algorithm is offered to the end user. Give the people knobs and they will play with them.
AES-256 has issues if you're planning for long term security:

Love it, thank you — the article already had my upvote! In particular SLC cache-aware tests and the inclusion of latency information (both average and 99th percentile) were both heartening to see. Too much crappy storage benchmarking these days.

Looking forward to seeing what you pick in terms of application benchmarks. I think application benchmarks help to keep us honest in terms of real-world impact of storage upgrades. LTT seeing if people could tell the difference between SATA and NVMe for games was great. I'm interested in database workloads, and the reason I was asking about the SN850 is that in Postgres benchmarks I've seen it has smoked the 980 Pro.
Japanese version is sweeter and has soy sauce
>Stadia is a live platform that continuously improves.

That's the scary thing for some people. The 'continuous improvement' may just as well be taking away stuff you 'own' or spying on you.
Without ending up on an FBI watchlist, let's just say, for the sake of argument, that Sales and "Uncle Ted" were on the right track about technology inevitably leading toward psychic isolation and environmental devastation, that corporations are finding ways to turn each human interaction into a commodity, that we're well beyond carrying capacity for the planet and have likely screwed up the ecology for the next million years or so. Just suppose ...

What solution do we have? I'm pretty sure that even before homo sapiens came on the scene, Neanderthals and even earlier versions of humanity thought about labor-saving devices. They dreamed of not dying from little infections, of not dying in childbirth, of spears that went a little further, of furs that were warmer, of fires that would not need tending. Are we not more or less doomed by our rejection of physical misery and the power of our imagination to simply recreate it all?

More interestingly, imagine a human society which selects a place to stop and then also has to enforce it, both internally and against any other societies which might have a different idea of where to stop (boy that gunpowder sure is a nifty idea). You would need a one world government with some kind of technological edge over those ruled ...
Thanks for the great feedback, definitely understand where you're coming from and we'll keep that in mind moving forward! Very much appreciate the constructive criticism!
I threw these on a PCIe 2.0 x16 port, and I get 3GB/s, as expected. There isn't anything in between 500MB/s SATA 3 SSDs and multi-gigabyte high capacity NVMe SSDs.

I'm blown away, so what are you all using the even greater throughput for?

The utility is quite slim as is, because of the networking limitations and other I/O. Only certain internal processing and parsing can take advantage of this.
> but these aren't new drivers.

The GPU is probably going to be the monster here, unless you have found that it bears similarly to something else?

And Bluetooth. Bluetooth is always a joke.
Amarok 1.x was the best music player I have used, subsequent versions lost the X-factor. Clementine is the spiritual successor and it captures most of what was special about Amarok.
It might have gained more traction if it simply said "Hey, this is kind of like our usual compute engine, but it's gaming-optimized and you can access it through Chrome for low-latency streaming"

And let people install whatever they want on it. There's probably a decent market for people with low/mid range hardware that would like to stream the newest games an ultimate settings. Others who'd just like a portable game library not tied to a specific PC, and a 3rd group that might use it through a chrome cast like a game console.

I'm not sure how large of a market these groups would have been, but certainly much larger than whoever Stadia appeals to.
This is true, with TNs there is always have an element of chance. I've heard too many stories of people getting royally screwed crossing the border on a TN when it should have been no prob. If you are not working on US soil, the W-8BEN requires no one to "approve" you. It's just a form for them to justify not deducting tax.
Just out of curiosity, what "industry-leading scanning engine" are you using to power your vulnerability scans?

Well there's defi, which is pretty exciting imo. There's a lot things in that ecosystem like flash loans (uncollateralized loans) that simply cannot exist in the traditional financial system. In many ways we are seeing a shift away from centralized exchanges towards decentralized, trustless transactions.

The promise of crypto is very much alive!

This should be a warning to anyone thinking of buying games locked up in a service that is subject to the poor strategic roll out & eventual cancellation that Google will probably announce in a year or so.
No prob! It really does open doors. Last time I applied for work in the US I wanted remote and part-time. Literally almost no companies on stack-overflow careers ticked the boxes to say this was ok. But I fired out 140 applications in a week with a cover letter applying anyway and had a job a week later. Rules bend if you're a great fit! :-)
This is my position too - I’m pretty skeptical of the “ADHD people have a different response to stimulants”.

Stimulants help everyone focus, it’s why people drink coffee.

Everyone would perform better on a low dose Ritalin. I think people just rationalize a special need for them. Erdos famously took amphetamines.

I’d buy people have variable baselines, but I think everyone would benefit from stimulants if they could take them.
I don't know if this changes anything but I think the actual bet is described by the line

>I bet you US$1,000 that in the year 2020, we're not even close to the kind of disaster you describe—a convergence of three disasters: global currency collapse, significant warfare between rich and poor, and environmental disasters of some significant size. We won't even be close. I'll bet on my optimism.

It seems like in the actual terms of the bet Kelly paraphrases Sale. That is how I would read it sans an actual signed legal document. But then again I'm not a lawyer or anyone versed in gambling etiquette and protocol.
