What do you need the full sentence for, though? A passing familiarity with ethnic slurs and why they're tabooed, will already give you the answer that once you start splitting hairs about why or why not something that was said is offensive, then that is probably an indicator that - even if if it was a joke or the person saying it was part of the minority being slurred - it was inappropriate to say it.

A passing familiarity with Bill Maher will give you the answer that he's not probably a person who would care all that much about my argument.

All that being said, I am not sure I follow your conclusion that it's impossible to evaluate an apology without knowledge what it's for. The argument the article brings forth is about the structure and content of apologies in general. There's no need to cover each offense in detail.
I know that you are claiming to be sarcastic, but one should point out that the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings were not used to generate power, so I don't suspect that anyone would suggest to include them in the power generation deaths.

And in this case, the flooding was almost certainly made worse by the dam, since there was a calamitous failure mode. That is _not_ to say that people would not have died otherwise from the flooding.

While I was reading this rant about erroneous brackets, I was consistently thrown off by the authors wrong styling of links.

That is not even snark, the bold read, weirdly placed lines under links kept pulling my eyes in. Apparently, the author removed the (old-fashioned, but agreed upon) typographical underline for links and replaced it by border-bottom, which starts below the descender of the letters instead of the baseline. That way, they look...misaligned.

Meanwhile, I never considered the brackets in quotes confusing and found them quite helpful at times, especially when reading particularly old English which is weird enough even if correct.

Not sure what the lesson is here, but definitively entertaining.
In Germany, Sweden, and Norway it certainly exists as well. These countries even have laws enforcing such taboos. Good call @dang

I am no expert in cover letters, but I have to wonder if the author is since the question "what happens when you get the job?" seems not to come up. Many people say a cover letter should be the written version of your best 30-60 second professional introduction to another. So sure you could hire this person, but you could also write it yourself and avoid the risk of assuming a professional voice that isn't actually yours.

Look, I think this might just be a little bit premature. Claiming that it's secure and fast because it's locally hosted is not convincing at all. "Secure" isn't convincing because you're asking me to run three docker containers worth of random code, and trust that random code with API keys/credentials to all my critical infrastructure. I have no way to know what your security practices inside those containers are. "Fast" isn't convincing either, with the need to run redis and mongoDB inside local docker containers being particularly unconvincing. The fact that there's no documentation at all (or at least, none that I could find) is the cherry on top.

Plus, what's up with only supporting running the containers on MacOS? That's really, really bizarre.

Basically, there are a number of signals here that prevent me from trusting you enough to even consider trying this out, even though it's quite possibly solving an interesting problem.
> 2^10 = 1024 ~~ (1 KB) ~~ 1000

2^10B = 1024B = 1KB ~ 1kB = 1000B

as I understand it. And for MB or Mb the accuracy is not really interesting.

Edit: It should in fact be 1kB ~ 1000B

E.g. 1kg is not exactly 1000g, that would be 1.000kg.

But 1KB is meant to be exactly 1024B.

A few kpc is much more than 1% the size of the Milky Way. For reference, the Sun is about 8 kpc from the Galactic Center.

For bright stars, Gaia can measure parallaxes (and therefore distances) throughout a sizeable fraction of the Milky Way. But the fainter the star is, the closer it has to be for Gaia to measure its parallax. The other issue is that there's dust that obscures much of the Galaxy, limiting the range that Gaia can see to. If you take all these effects into account, you find that Gaia can "only" measure parallaxes for about 1% of the stars in the Milky Way. Still, that's orders of magnitude more stars than had parallaxes just a few years ago.

Read up on Jonathan Blow [1], sounds like you might like his philosophy. The short of it is that he believes time is valuable and should be respected. I also love Braid, a game he made.

Same, about 60 hours in, and while I only had one game breaking bug (can not finish a cyberpsycho mission because the body I'm meant to investigate dropped through the floor), physics and AI bugs (I got catapulted like you said about a dozen times, cars are notoriously terrible, I died from "falling" down a 20cm drop more than 20 times) are plentiful. I'd estimate I've had to reload a save between 5 and 10 times to continue progress.
It hurts immersion badly, but as far as raw gameplay/shooting goes, I just beared with it, the game saves often enough that I rarely lost more than 5 minutes of progress.

Saying it's "hardly more bugs than most early access/new releases" is something that I've seen too often though. I'd be willing to assume my experience is way outside of the norm, if I didn't have a number of friends I played along with and that reported the exact same (sometimes worse) experience on PC.
I have always assumed that this was a journalistic (not academic) practice, indicating where what is shown, deviates from the original.

I’d assume that kind of thing is important in journalism.

I agree with you in the context of this thread, which exemplifies a very recent re-appropriation of the term (see below). That being said, neoliberalism is a fairly well-defined descendant from classical right-wing liberalism that arose during the 80s. It's characterized by laissez-fair market economy, less taxes for the rich, and no support for welfare programs.

That it is now re-appropriated by the "alt-right" (a term coined by neo-Nazi Richard Spencer) to mean some kind of swear word against left leaning "liberals" just goes to show how uneducated and confused the US public is about politics.

Over the years I've come to believe that there is a method behind this dumbing down and distortion of political views in the US, that it's the result of the two-party system that allows elites to keep voters aligned and in check, even though they'd all have reasons to vote for a third party. In a nutshell, it seems that many people in the US are unaware of the following facts:

- Libertarianism in original form, propagated e.g. by the Friedmans, is a form of classical liberalism that arose against neo-Liberalism, which was too federal and corporate-friendly for them. It's a radical attempt to reform liberalism and bring it nearer to individual anarchism. (But individual anarchism was explicitly targetted against communism and classical liberalism, so in the end "anarcho-capitalism" is not a form of anarchism at all and really just liberalism.)

- neo-Liberalism is a right-wing form of classical liberalism

- There are many left-wing liberal traditions, but these are barely represented by the two big US parties. (Some Democrats may count as left-wing liberals but not too many of them.)

- Conservatives and liberals are principally opposed to each other. That doesn't mean they cannot be somehow combined, but for a liberal the individual freedom always overrules conservative values.

Especially the latter point has been distorted beyond recognition by Republicans who traditionally hold Christian-conservative values and communitarian/racist ideas about closed, homogeneous societies but felt a need to incorporate (neo-)liberal doctrines in economics. Obviously, this integration can only work to some extent before the views become plain incoherent. Liberalism does not allow the restriction or suppression of anyone's freedoms, let alone those of minorities.

Basically, parties in the US just grab whatever elements they need from political traditions and ignore the rest.

Would you have any suggestions for attracting people that can build communities around them on a platform similar with reddit (and HN) but built to federate using ActivityPub ? I'm building such a thing and I am interested in how to actually get people to use it. :D
Ha! the title of that video "Spherical Geometry Is Stranger Than Hyperbolic" is very insightful. Due to the convergence of the light rays on positive curvature, objects appear larger the further they are! Hyperbolic geometry is like euclidean with a spacious horizon. But spherical geometry is a wickedly different thing. All your "sky" is covered by the single point at your antipodes (when it's not occluded by a tiny object very far away from you).

Hi, Please e-mail me at asaf@jiga3d.com
Glad you like it :)

It's a great way to keep an overview on an array of topics. I set them up for a large array of interests of mine, e.g. business (slavelabor, juststart and others), cool PC setups (battestations and unixp0rn), DIY, development, passive income, indoor gardening, cooking, ebikes, streaming tv (Plex, PlexACD, TiviMate).....

When I was at Microsoft, you still needed a VPN to connect to your dev machine and write code, but more and more internal services were moving to a zero-trust model that didn't require a VPN. Not sure if they've gotten there 100%, but it felt like the clear direction.

Or as safe; 230.000 people died in just one instance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Banqiao_Dam_failure).
112 people died building the Hoover Dam (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoover_Dam#Construction_deaths).

Compare that to what are considered massive world news nuclear power plant tragedies like Chernobyl (about 31 direct deaths, long term effects are up for debate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_due_to_the_Chernobyl_di...) and Fukushima (1 direct death, low counts of radiation poisoning that can be attributed to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disa... ).
> ...The language doesn't matter much to me, I know enough of them to know that they are all very similar and thus easy enough to learn. If you know of a good opportunity, let me know.

One advice: be careful when you make claims like this, even if you are an extremely competent programmer, because it sounded extremely aggorant.

Picking up a new tech (framework, language, etc) during the job vs having years of experience building things with the tech makes a huge difference in terms of productivity.

Being language(or framework)-agonostic is cool. But saying languages are very similiar indicates that you probably know none of them in depth. Every language (or framework, etc) is its own microcosmo. (i.e. at the compiler level, design-pattern's level, etc).
No, it's not universally considered a theft. Wikimedia explicitly permits hotlinking[0]. So does xkcd, imgur and tons of other sites.

Of course when someone doesn't want us to hotlink to their assets then don't do it.

As others have pointed out, this is a nuanced question.

The dams were not built to produce power, they were built to protect the area. The power generation was done _because_ the dams were there, not the other way around.

That is, even if the power wasn't wanted, this disaster would have happened, so from that perspective, this is not deaths caused because of power generation.

In the other power generation cases, the object causing the deaths is _only_ being created to create that power. Without that power need, the object would not have existed.

For example, it is possible to generate energy from tidal waves. However I don't think that anyone would suggest that means that all deaths from a Tsunami should be attributed to tidal wave power generation.

The parallel here is that this (series of) dam(s) was built to control nature, and failed spectacularly at doing so. Is that the result of the power generation?

There _are_ dams that are build primarily for power generation, these would make sense to include in the stats. If the dam failed because of a malfunction in the power generator, that would make sense to include in the stats. But that does not appear to have been the case here.
> Counter-argument to anyone arguing otherwise.

The argument is pretty straightforward. Kilo, Mega, Giga, etc. are already well defined prefixes and it is simply confusing if we start to redefine them in some context.

I agree that clearly hardware manifacturer are taking advantage of this confusion to inflate their marketed memory size, but again they are using the proper meaning of the prefixes. Maybe the solution would be to require them using KiB, MiB or GiB, but certainly not to change the meaning of Kilo.
Dams are MORE environmentally friendly than most of the alternatives so that assumption is not entirely wrong.

If the choice is between environmental damage from fracking or coal mining and deaths from coal pollution or flooding a valley somewhere...
I find it disturbing to see how sour gaming has turned. If you would've asked me 15 years ago I would never have been able to imagine this outcome.

It's befitting of the economic extremism and pessimistic zeitgeist of our time :(

Hope there'll be a corrective force to this sometime soon before gaming turns entirely into a soulless commercialized husk.

For all the talk there is about CP2077 superficial mistakes there's really a lack of discussion about the message it's trying to convey. Is anyone even trying to understand or are they just looking at graphics and bugs?
It doesn't always have to be like this though. Look at Factorio – the devs are happy (looking from the outside, but they are always very enthusiastic about how they love the game), the community loves it (there are infinite remarks of people who sunk thousands of hours into this game, all for a single payment of 25 €), and they don't seem to have any financial issues either. I have not seen many disappointed people around Factorio (maybe that dev of the IR mod [1]).

On the bright side, with native web components and web assembly gaining traction things may be looking up in the future, as a lot of these ideas get rolled into the browser natively.

Pretty neat article. Makes me feel a bit silly about how I'd probably do it by hand in Audacity though.
I can relate, and agree front-end frameworks and tooling feel overly complicated.

The good news is that there is another way. It's completely feasible to develop without any tooling but a static web server and a browser nowadays. Just bundle for production.

I've developed [1] (a +10k LoC chat app) and [2] (a small web app) using just a 600 LoC template library [3] (which I should really extract), and I vastly prefer it over more traditional setups. Being so close to the browser makes it so easy to see what is going on. I've never spent hours or days debugging the infrastructure code because there is barely any, which is usually what ruins the fun for me.

Everybody is different, but for me the accidental complexity of the commonplace front-end stack (webpack, react, typescript, ...) isn't worth what you get out of it.

> It's not only million different tools, it also to me seems like every React codebase has a huge learning curve on its own because everyone does it differently.

I've been writing React code on and off since 2014 and I can relate to the pain: component creation and API changes in React (especially hooks) have meant quite a different way to do things, and in my experience this resulted in making things harder to understand across the board.

Life was simpler when `React.createClass()` was the only way to create components :)

It soon got changed.

The original response about these type of issues [1] rubs me the wrong way
In particular this statement:

> That being said, we were surprised by Ledger’s announcement of this issue, especially after being explicitly asked by Ledger not to publicize the issue, due to possible implications for the whole microchip industry, beyond hardware wallets, such as the medical and automotive industries.

As I understand they are using a standard STM32 chip for these wallets, and relying on it's basic protection. Companies make real processes designed for securely storing data, why aren't they using them? Instead they are suggesting that there is no alternative and everyone is vulnerable to this style of attack.
