Yes, but also the US system is not necessarily a problem if you like decentralization.

People say a blockchain is decentralized, but maybe it's more accurate to say it's a centralized system without anyone being in control. Which might in fact not be preferred to an actual decentralized system.

I still prefer MacPorts over Homebrew. However, like you said, Homebrew's marketing in the form of embedded into tutorials and setup's helped push them to where they are now.

Almost every Ruby on Rails tutorial I've seen in the last decade used Homebrew over MacPorts.

I found MacPorts just before Homebrew was a thing. I figure since Mac OS was BSD based, why not go with the traditional portage way.

I preferred my optional packages to be installed in /opt.
I preferred MacPorts.

Sadly, in the last 3-4 years, Homebrew has been leading the charge, adding more bleeding edge package versions and just doing a better job of maintaining the formulas for install.

Happy to see it. I think for python/go/ruby devs they will continue to prefer Homebrew simply because the tutorials they learned from prefer it. It's a feedback loop.
Agree with GraphQL. Spin up a Hasura instance, point it at Postgres and you're done.
I usually really like Outlook, but it does seem to behave poorly when used with certain servers. For example G Suite / Google Work calendar is very... weird with Outlook. It's not seamless, and I tend to get reminders for things that happened weeks or months ago on a recurring schedule that I cannot find and remove.
It is nearly impossible to engage in modern democracy without engaging in social media.

I think you're using too broad a definition of "nearly."

Aside from HN, and the occasional write-only rant on Twitter, I do not use social media. And have never used it in any way to keep in touch with my government.

And I'm not alone. There are millions of people in the United States and hundreds of millions of people around the world who do not use social media.
Genetic testing used to be very expensive: $3B to sequence the human genome. So Ancestry/23/etc. tried to guess certain properties based on very sparse features of your genome, which is hard. But today, whole genome sequencing cost is approaching $100. This cost reduction will upend this industry, in my opinion.

Their opinion is relevant as long as it is enforced, whether or not you personally like it.
Re: "if you don't want to be subject to these behaviors don't use social media"

This specific argument is weak, _and_ the form of the argument is weak. I suggest you look for better argumentation.

Your argument suggests that not 'using' social media frees a person from all of the effects of social media. That is oversimplified and untrue. It does not address the connectedness of people and culture, for one.

I'll use two examples to explain.

1. Your argument takes the same form as the following argument: "if you don't want to be run over by a drunk driver, don't drive". Tell that to a pedestrian who was killed by a drunk driver.

2. Social Media is not like Vegas. What you say on Social Media does not stay on Social Media. It has lots of spillover effects.
the "meet at a bar to plot a murder" metaphor isn't at all how the the tech companies faciliate these things. Its more like if the group meets at a bar, and exclusively communicated through with each other through the bartender. In that case, would the bartender have an obligation to tell law enforcement that a group at the bar was planning a murder? I think so.
That's fair, but it's only affecting single user, while writable /usr/local affects all users. However most Mac users are single user, so the tradeoff makes sense in this context.
As a requirement for a junior position it seems a bit too high.

There is a category of person for whom wealth is social proof of being worth listening to. Doesn't matter how they got it, this type of person is simply attracted to wealth.
Considering they are the highest court in the USA, I would say their opinion is most relevant. That doesn't mean they can't be wrong morally or ethically, but their opinion is definitely relevant.
For me personally:

* It has the performance profile of C

* A really good package manager

* I don't have to worry about segfaults/runtime issues from manual memory management

* I love the type system (yay expressive static types with pattern matching)

* Also prevents data races and other things like iterator invalidation

* Also, null safety, among other things leads to a lot fewer runtime issues I need to figure out
People disagree on the ethical principle of free speech, and arguing that Google or Apple have a duty to that ethical principle begs the question of the ethical principle itself.
Has anyone verified that this is real? Some of it is kind of reasonable, but a lot of it seems so weird that maybe it's a list for a specific position, rather than for a general software engineer. Even then, it seems kind of dumb to require a certain GPA and some of the other requirements seem odd.

Also, it's weird to say that this was created by ex-Google employees. How would they know that? Maybe the person posting it is from HR, but I certainly wouldn't know exactly who created every document/policy at my company. It might have been presented by someone who came from Google, but I would hope this was produced by multiple people. You could probably say that at least one person who came from Google worked on it though.
I love absolutely everything about this. I get the same feeling of admiration and envy from this that I get from machinists who build tooling and fixtures that they then use to make parts. This system feels like a serious tool the author built to do real work.

The author's simulator runs fine on a 32-bit Windows machine. I would expect it to run under DOSBox just fine.

The simulator's text user interface is also superb. Getting the machine running with the full OS was very straightforward (run "D6809.COM W=CUBIX.DDI" to start with the OS disk mounted read/write).
New C since it's about zero cost abstractions (in the don't pay for what you don't use sense)

It does this well, since at the same time I was able to write 10k lines of JS game code into 10k lines of Rust game code: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/k3jy5g/i_rewrote_10k_...

Have since rewritten server from nodejs to Rust. There the line count grew. But async/await was splendid there, & serde made implementing the json server/client protocol straight forward
It doesn't have to be as bad as Bourdain makes it. He had a combative, machismo style and it's no surprise that he found himself surrounded with similar people.

There are a lot of real, inherent difficulties. A kitchen is an enormous amount of work to do, and customers are very price sensitive. There is an enormous amount of overhead cost, and all of that makes the margins very thin.

During service, discipline is paramount, because each table has a lot of things coming together at once, and any mistake makes for a less pleasant experience for the diner. Which is, after all, your job. It's a hospitality industry, not just a food industry.

That makes it hard, but it doesn't have to be horrific. Unfortunately, the culture often makes it horrific: a staff expecting to be treated like Bourdain does creates hostility. They expect to change jobs often. That creates distance, and a self-fulfilling prophecy.

A better-run kitchen pays well, keeps staff, enforces discipline fairly, and ends up costing a bit more for a much better service. And then goes out of business, much of the time.
Im worried this would codify fine power for whatever way the political wind blows, which seems to be incremented by increasing the size of payroll particularly at the FTC.

Here is an idea for better oversight of big tech that does not involve more regulation: a deacentralized moderation system that replicates the us court system.

If something is flagged, then a jury made up of randomly selected users decide if the comment is inciting violence / etc.

If 1 user says it does not , then there is no ban/deletion etc. You can iterate many times off that into a system that is scalable, cost effective, descentralized, transparent, and just.
Yep. The returns on capital is much higher than the return on labor. On net, more people trading is reducing income inequality.
Who do you think doesn’t understand 1A?

I’m not sure if you mean that the senators don’t understand. Or social media companies. Or us?

Government (in the US) regulates commercial speech all the time. Try broadcasting without an FCC license.

Government also regulated privately owned public places. Try banning people of a particular race from your shopping mall and see what happens. Shopping mall operators aren’t free to absolutely limit speech however they like, even though private.

I think it’s reasonable that government could treat social media companies as privately owned public spaces and add new regulations or requirements. I don’t think this would mean a constitutional amendment to revise 1A, but using the free speech principle for these regulations makes sense.

Of course, other countries have free speech laws and customs that have nothing to do with 1A.

Pocket and Mozilla VPN are prominent because they drive revenue which is useful to limit dependency on Google, thus greatly helping Firefox.
The failure though is the government isn't accounting for content next to ads. Ad companies are likely to keep user generated content that drives good ad revenue, even if it's also harmful.

This is a start, but the solution is to revoke 230 entirely.
It seemed pretty clear to me from the description that this thing will let scripts read from Chrome to, e.g., pull in names from what you are looking at on LinkedIn and also make web requests.

But OP and Text Blaze should take your question as great feedback: by simplifying to "programmable snippets", it sounds like just a dumb automation tool to reduce typing. We saw that stuff yesterday on HN with people using AutoHotKey and similar.

The Technician Who Can Unlock Your Forgotten Crypto Wallets 35% of the Time
Just a tiny suggestion: The link to github in the PDF is not clickable.

You cite at the bottom a research project. Is some part of it published?
You seem hard to convince that money could go elsewhere, but perfectly fine to let it go to these projects on no particular basis at all. That's not actually a neutral stance, however much you avoid writing outright praise of hypersonic weapons.

In in a small sense sense your last objection is of course almost trivially true for any weapon: each war uses them based on the experience of the last conflict, and armies are always finding novel ways to deploy them.

However, if one takes a larger view it is demonstrably false: physics is not so unknown that these weapons could whatever they want, so to call the models used for the article so off the mark as to become straw men is simply wrong.
Why can't we have higher density optical disc formats? Is BDXL at 128 GB really the end of technological innovation?
> If that was the goal, it does a pretty poor job.

Their goal is to treat the query as search, and then try to detect if a host named "internalserver" exists. If so, Chrome displays a banner saying "do you want to visit internalserver/". So they don't have to delay the search until the probe finishes, thus it never automatically make it work without another click.

Personally I don't like it either, so I usually type "internalserver/" (with a tailing slash) to skip the search.
given how much Twitter influences elections and has clearly demonstrated the degree to which they put their thumb on the scale, countries will be making their own and/or block it. it would be stupid not to.
"While we took into account whether this was just due to what well-off people eat and drink, randomized clinical trials are needed to determine if making easy changes in our diet could help our brains in significant ways."

How was this taken into account?
I mostly agree. But if the communication tool's owner knows or ought to know of the death threats, then perhaps they should bear some liability.

(If I were the communication tool, I'd add some term to my TOS that the user indemnifies me against losses due to speech the user made. So if I get sued because of something you said, I can come after you for the losses. Of course, this requires that you KYC . . . so anonymity might become harder in a post-S230 world. I sure wouldn't want to be someone running e.g. an anonymous far right or militia forum if I could be held liable for wrongful death or harassment claims.)

>IDK Elon gets some (deserved in my opinion) love. Jeff seems to be the butt of more of the "kill the rich" rhetoric such as the guillotine outside his house

Agreed, but I kind of figure that comes with the territory.

Elon is called an idiot and a charlatan more often because of things like Hyperloop and the Joe Rogan interview. I'm probably projecting but that'd hurt me more than the guillotine.
>I believe that this is an exceptionally unneccessary feature for an app that prides itself with caring about their users' privacy.

Does the author mean "for the sake of people's safety don't sell them kitchen knives"?

This feature is intended for organizing outdoor events. And it proved itself quite useful, for example, during Hong Kong protests.
I'm really not sure whether I'd rather have a poop enema or willingly swallow poop even if contained in a capsule.

I would guess it's "possible" but also there is probably a lot of logistics involved in "take my poop and put it into your guts".

Back fifteen or so years ago I saw a video somewhere talking about some people doing this to help with an immune condition. What I remember was basically, "We put my poop in a blender with some water to thin it out, and then they stick a tube up their butt and pour that in"

Sounded like it wasn't just a one time deal, more something that needed to happen on a regular basis.

Great initiative! Hopefully employers will not overlook these candidates because of their criminal record.
Did a lot of embedded 6809 assembly for satellite ground station equipment in the 1980s. I really enjoyed coding for that platform. Some of the things that set it apart from contemporary 8-bit processors:

Multiple stack registers for complex argument passing.

Internal 16-bit registers.

(Integer) Multiply/Divide.

Sign extension (SEX instruction!)

Years later I did some embedded OS/9 (Not the Apple OS, but the Microware one.) The target was actually a 68k, but the OS had been ported from the original 6809 platform. It was pretty powerful for the day and although not completely POSIX compliant, it was very POSIX-like.
I should point out that we didn't tolerate this level of liability protection when Hollywood was involved. The safe harbor for copyright infringement has a notice-and-takedown requirement that CDA 230 doesn't have. If someone publishes my home address and an incitement to violence on a web forum, the platform doesn't have to do anything in order to maintain their safe harbor. However, if that same person were to copy a photo I took of my house in order to demonstrate where to go, then they have to accept a DMCA 512 takedown request or I can sue them for damages. (Assuming I jumped through all the necessary copyright hoops in order to do so.)
It's true that considerable number of farmers are unhappy with the new farm laws. But an even larger number of farmers are just fine with those. Ideally, this should be implemented differently in each state, as situation in each state is different. Violence does not help in anyway - either by the farmers or the police.

The other point is about involvement of shady organizations.

There is evidence that the protests were planned in advance. Greta Thunberg seems to be involved. I have read the document which was published on Cryptpad. While the document is not really encouraging violence, it does have phrases which clearly intend to malign India's image. A Canadian outfit called 'poetic justice' is also involved.

read the article from the Print https://theprint.in/diplomacy/canada-firm-mp-pr-person-suspe...

and this is the link for the toolkit https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/ehTz+drfKPwi4fP5dn0mivw...

while the toolkit does not directly incite violence , it clearly mentions that the plan was followed per schedule. the protests were already planned despite the leaders of protests giving their word that the protests would be peaceful on the republic day.

the toolkit reveals intentions to malign India by asking people all over the world to protest infront of Indian embassies
The good news is that this doesn't seem like it affects submarines significantly. So the defending nation should still have second-strike capability, making it unwise to initiate an attack.
People Are Worried About Payment for Order Flow
My wife found out our 95 year old neighbor hadn't gotten the vaccine yet, because she had no idea how to sign up for it. We went in and signed her up using our phone number and email address to make sure we got the notification when she could schedule an appointment. The way it works in our area is you sign up at various health provider websites and then you are notified when your name gets drawn and you have 48 hours to log in and schedule your appointment. The sooner you get in when you get that notification the sooner your appointment will be and if you miss that 48 hour window you are SOL. Anyway we got notified the next day after signing up our neighbor and got her scheduled for the Pfizer vaccine next week. We had already been through this with my In-Laws so we've gotten pretty good at navigating these various providers' websites. If you know any people that are eligible for the vaccine and might need help, get them signed up. It's great that all these health care providers are doing more online and through apps, but it's not helping the older community out, and no one is reaching out to help them get the vaccine at this point.
Okay dudes, now you know what you have to do if you feeling short with money :D

This is what i saw this morning, not sure about authenticity though

https://theprint.in/diplomacy/canada-firm-mp-pr-person-suspe...

According to sources, it was Skyrocket that allegedly paid $2.5 million to popstar Rihanna to tweet in support of the farmers’ protest in India. Dhaliwal, the sources said, is a Canada-based Sikh who is a “self-proclaimed Sikh separatist” and is also close to Jagmeet Singh.

Well, given corporate personhood, the parent may be worried this law would harm Google and Facebook's legal right to speak paid promotions for racists.
True that. Daily you wake up and you see powerplay of tweeting trends. Accounts trying to just use their followers to build a wave of trends and then people against them doing the same.

It's not the number of tweets that should build a trend, but number of authentic facts that is backing it up. I wish there was a platform which shows facts leading up to a certain tweet - for both sides. So that immediately, I can compare the reality.
One of the worst aspects of a SPAC is that it's essentially a grab-bag purchase since even once you know the company being bought, you still don't initially know whether it's a good investment. This is true even if you're somewhat familiar with the business. 23andMe for instance, is currently SPACing, and though you might've heard about the company before, it's still unclear how profitable it really is or how much growth we should expect from it.

S-1s really matter. WeWork is a perfect example of a seemingly successful company that was forced to reveal its failings before hitting the public market. If it SPACed instead, many investors would've likely bought it due to name recognition and found their money was now tied to a failing business model.

To be fair, the typical IPO process doesn't have too much to admire either. It ironically leaves the public out of the actual initial offering, walling off much of the initial growth of the share price (unless it’s a super-star stock which balloons once it hits the public market--which they rarely are). More companies doing direct sales is a welcome change.
I realize this is a bit counter to the thread title but can someone who’s familiar with macports give their take on whether it’s worth using both brew + macports at once is a good idea?
I’ve been solely using brew and very much appreciate the convenience but I saw that macports allows multiple versions of a single package which has been a pretty big pain point for me with brew.
It doesn’t happen super often but there have been several times that this limitation for brew has been a huge pain point, forcing me to pollute things by compiling manually, putting it in a new location, etc.

I know it’s a bit far fetched but if my package manager could replace say, pyenv, by just making it easier to install several different versions and then letting me pick the default symlink, that would be so helpful (or even just not removing python2...).
I was going to argue that it doesn't save keystrokes when I frequently have to go back and fix the bad guess. But then I realized that you're right - the time saved over the years when I actually do want to Google a specific term likely *far* exceeds the time I've spent fixing the bad guesses.

I guess I'll just accept the flaws that come with it.
