I'm not a vegan, so I'd be a pretty terrible liar if I was trying to guilt trip others into being something I'm not.

My point was that if you think in terms of meat, or horses, you'll only be able to come up with solutions to your problems in those terms.

If you go one level up and realize that your problem has nothing to do with horses or animals, and deals with transportation then you'll realize you can solve that problem and never have to deal with horses again.

People enjoying horse riding is in fact a completely unrelated problem (entertainment, enjoyment, or whatever you want to call it), as I was making the point by mentioning cannibalism (you're doing it because you enjoy it, not because human flesh is necessary for your sustenance).

If you open your mind to the fact that it may be that what you enjoy about your food isn't the meat but the flavors and effort the chef puts into the dish that just happens to contain meat, you'll see that you're probably associating that deliciousness with the meat when in fact it's just because the deliciousness was imbued onto the meat dish. We started using meat because of its convenience, not because it has some magical properties that make food palatable where other things cannot substitute.

I personally am not vegan because animal welfare is not high enough in my priorities to overcome the hassles of adjusting around the current bias towards meat in most cuisine. But if most cuisine started orienting around non-meat dishes (and a lot of cultures already do this, especially from countries that historically couldn't afford meat), I know I would not complain.

It's uniquely American (maybe European too?) to eat a giant slab of relatively cheap lean steak with just salt and pepper... most other cuisines mix meat with veggies, or in the case of Japan go for slightly higher quality (non-factory farmed) but lower volume meat consumption. Veggies in American cuisine are an afterthought (something you have to eat to "balance" your meal) whereas if you take Chinese dishes (while many feature meat), they can often center around veggies and make them the primary focus.
M1 can't run pre-11.0 (Big Sur), so this might be a Big Sur issue.
yes, that’s speaking freely without convincing anyone of anything.
It's completely baffling how a little meme like this, which is in no way accurate, survives and thrives not just at large but specifically on HN. Can we track the meme's point of origin?

A lot of job shit doesn't make any sense. What does make sense is I don't get to eat if I don't have a job, and I don't have a job if I don't put up with the job bullshit. For some people that's sitting through 8 hours of videos on how to properly pick up a box so they can get that UPS hub job where they never once actually lift a box like in the videos, for others its sitting through 8 hours of diversity training so they can go back to the office and continue to treat everybody like they did before, for better or for worse.

At the end of the day, I think it's bullshit, but I'm still eating.
> So for myself personally, I see the words a person is speaking as they would appear being typed on the page of a computer screen and never once will hear the person’s voice speaking them, nor my own.

This sounds like a perversion of synesthesia to me. This is like LSD.

It's deliberately made to be addictive too. These social media sites really need to be heavily regulated, with that in mind. Preferably out of existence.

A global ban on internet advertising, if it were possible, would probably be one of the few solutions to all of this mess that attacks the root cause.
Firstly, a lot of users don’t want multiple stores.

Therefore it simply isn’t in the interests of users in general.

That statement is false.

Secondly, which third parties would be allowed? What kind of stores?

It’s pretty obvious that there are many answers to these questions that would not be good for users.

So no, what Epic wants is definitely not ‘in the best interests of users’.

As I have said all along - it’s in the best interests of Epic, and nobody else.

If we want to think about what is in the best interests of ‘users’ that is a very broad and interesting space.

And as I have pointed out, imagining that we ‘agree’ with Epic on this, just means that we are supporting them and what they want.

Consider for a moment that what is in the best interests of users might have nothing to do with Apple, or the App Store.

Nice idea. You mentioned not testing on a mac: https://imgur.com/a/18hnpsj

Sure, and I helped build Palantir's license-plate-reading, immigrant-processing, and drone-targeting machines. Everyone in the Bay Area is fine with that. No one cares. To an average affluent Bay Area engineer, illegal immigrants and people getting blown up half a world away are extremely abstract concerns. The real sources of pain in a Bay Area engineer's life are their inability to sip lattes through a mask and Planet Granite in Sunnyvale being closed. Meanwhile, my inbox is blowing up with inquiries from companies and I have my pick of lucrative jobs.

> the receiving side silently casted to 32-bit floats, losing data (as the RFC permits)

Had to look that up. Was under the impression the rfc only specified the syntax. But here it is

> This specification allows implementations to set limits on the range and precision of numbers accepted.

I don’t think the implication is that it must be done by silently loosing precision though. A loud error would fit that description just fine. So in this case I would blame the implementation not the spec.
I miss the old old generic food packaging...

It had its own special aisle.

Big cans with white labels that merely said “BEANS” or “CORN” in fat black letters.

Of course, it was embarrassing to have a cart full of that stuff as everyone would know you were poor.
Well, you could argue that if governments want you to be healthy, why not subsidize healthcare, make meds cheaper, etc. Vaccine in this case is another form of med that is given out for free, why not insulin?

Governments can also stimulate economy with stimulus payments that would be spent relatively quickly, though that decision is not straightforward, why is vaccine being free straightforward?

"You're the product" could also mean they haven't priced these properly as part of the healthcare systems, so this is effectively still a clinical trial, which is an explanation that I can be happy with now. It's free now as it's part of a clinical trial, but will cost you money once safety is proven and is established.

Just hard to assume good intent in a world where generally everything costs money.
Can you expand on that? I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Most of that page is about character escaping as well as Unicode and floating point corner cases. You'll need to handle the same corner cases if you want to write a robust Prolog parser (it's slightly simpler if you cheat by rejecting Unicode).
I mostly agree with this article and I'd love to share it with my circle, but I can't get past the condescending tone this article uses towards non-technical folks.

> These are the online serfs who are completely unaware and will never become aware that their freedom and their money is being stolen by their masters, the lords of technology, who they serve unwittingly with their data and monthly fees. These are the instant messaging and cat video addicts whose only concern is that computers be easy enough for toddlers to use. These are the techno-toddlers who refuse to grow up...

Believe it or not there are plenty of extremely intelligent non-technical users who are aware of these issues. And comparing users who are unaware of these issues to toddlers (while at the same time comparing the cognescenti to rebel fighters, even if tongue in cheek) is incredibly obnoxious.

Google, Facebook, and Apple invest ridiculous sums of money in the interest of making their platforms accessible in just about every way you can imagine (and many more you might not). If you want to have a single hope that your message will be heard, you have to think about accessibility (of your message). In particular, don't make people feel stupid. That is the kiss of death in the business of winning hearts & minds, and it's also the number one reason why I personally avoid most free software (and related) activist circles.
I just took a look at her AMA and I think some of her complaints about reddit are mistaken. Of course the complaint that some people were being nasty and reddit would benefit from a reduction of such behavior is valid.

She complains about insufficient positive engagement, but she erred in using a different account to reply to questions than the toplevel post. This makes an AMA post harder to navigate because comments from the OP are highlighted in most ways people view reddit, and many clients have an AMA mode with additional UI based around the assumption that the post and answers will use the same account.

She complains that her comments were downvoted into oblivion. I don't know if many of them had negative scores briefly, but the only ones that do now are complaints about downvotes and a comment containing a personal attack. The currently-downvoted comments are not a positive contribution to the discussion.

Finally, she didn't respond to what is now the highest-scoring question regarding her product collecting and storing data it doesn't obviously need, such as user location. If I was considering using this product, I'd like to know why it collects and stores my location.

"8GB of ram isn't a lot."

You are not wrong in 2021 but this comment took me back to late 1900s-early 2000s when a few hundred MB of RAM was premium :). How far have we come!!
While I was doing the "free 30 days + 12 months of free stuff", a certain level of MSSQL was listed as free, but hidden under that is creating the storage for MSSQL which is a separate and additional cost that you cannot avoid. (At least, not that I could figure out.)

By the end of my 30 days, I found the bare minimum performing low volume .NET + SQL on Azure was going to be $30+/month even for just a prototype/development site, and I can pay less elsewhere for higher performance (though perhaps less control). And when I say "performing", I just mean the VM not being too slow to actually use as a UI, and throwing low memory errors constantly. The free tiers for Windows Server are, in my opinion, unusable at all.
Court precedents are about the legal principals. When the supreme court rules on forth amendment matters in a murder case, the precedent also applies to drug cases.
Sure, it's the peace of submission, the peace of silence, the worst kind of peace that hardly reflects any level of "happiness". It's quite disingenuous to compare Shenzhen to Hong Kong's molotovs. What's left unspoken, of course, is the fear of thinking, saying, and doing anything that disagrees with or simply embarrasses the state (like the Chinese doctor who alerted his community about this new virus that was spreading out of control); They won't throw molotovs at you, they will erase you and possibly your entire ethnic group. That's a level of extreme happiness that formerly free Hong Kong wasn't able to achieve.

It's important that the West never fall this low. This is the final form of low-trust politics that thrives when democratic government repeatedly fails in its duties. Eventually, the population completely loses trust in the ability of free society to collectively achieve results (let alone operate with integrity) so it starts picking & tolerating corrupt authoritarians as long as they produce results. China will likely continue to tolerate the CCP's total lack of integrity as long as the trains run on time. This is also why economic sanctions can be effective against authoritarian regimes.
Just to second this: the close-your-eyes-and-spin-around trick is what worked for me.
Regardless of current implementation, I still don't understand the problem in principle. Why does Block Party need to distinguish the former from the latter? What is wrong with providing tools to users for filtering unwanted content (by their own definition)?

I find it fun that the essence of the PS2's Vector Unit 1 is reborn in DX12/Vulkan's "Mesh Shaders" https://www.geeks3d.com/20200519/introduction-to-mesh-shader...

TLDR: Where the GPU's traditional geometry API mostly worked 1 independent vertex at a time (with a few unsuccessful extensions), Mesh Shaders are a more free-form, compute-shader-like approach where you can load as much arbitrarily-structured data as you can fit in a fixed SRAM then compute however you like and output triangles directly to the rasterizer. Pretty much exactly like the VU1, but with Shader Model 6 syntax.
But that was only in the context of radio broadcasting, where there is a scarcity of frequencies. Even while it was active, the Fairness Doctrine never applied to cable television: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ronald-reagan-fairness-doc...

https://fair.org/extra/the-fairness-doctrine/

"Since cable’s infrastructure is privately owned and cable channels can, in theory, be endlessly multiplied, the FCC does not put public interest requirements on that medium."

In the context of cable news and journalism on the internet (basically infinite supply), there's no version of the Fairness Doctrine that would hold up.
It honestly blows my mind that we didn't do this. It would have still been a mess, but at least in my mind a more manageable mess with less total harm.
Yes, JIT would work well also, and I would strictly prefer a JIT, but I don’t think we’re likely to see a JIT Python with good ecosystem compatibility in the next decade. Good luck to the people who are using Python these days, but I’m tired of fighting the same major problems we had 15 years ago. Other ecosystems solved those problems and they actually improve materially.
Your analogy is incorrect though.

Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Parler are all bars. The gang members (insurrectionists) went to the Facebook, Twitter and Youtube bars and got into fights. The Methodist (non-insurrectionists) went to Parler and did not get into bar fights.

According to you the solution is not to ban the bars where the bar fights took place but the place where there were no bar fights. It really makes no sense.

No, the RAM is co-located in the M1's flip-chip package, but it's not physically on the same die.

What makes you think HN is that different from anywhere else?

And besides, memes persist much more readily anywhere where tribalism comes into play e.g. Politics, Apple vs. [Insert your OS here], Any Tesla thread etc.
The RAM is on-chip but not on-die... but most people (even developers) don't know the difference between a chip, a die, and a core to begin with. It's a pretty minor error, although such errors are a good sign that someone either doesn't know what they're talking about or is careless with terminology.
I tried the Azure try out for 30 days. Unfortunately I missed the one-click deployment stuff. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place? But I mean, that's the thing. I created the account and was looking at the UI - but didn't find that. So maybe I'm terrible at reading web pages, or maybe the UI isn't designed to get me where I need to go.
moral basis comes from how the majority have agreed to structure society

That’s more of a rationalization than a moral foundation. The land we’re talking about (in North America), in a lot of cases, was stolen by means of violent force from the indigenous people who lived here before the arrival of European settlers. If we’re going to call that a moral basis, then we’re back to arguing the account of Thrasymachus [1] and might makes right. It’s a cynical take on justice, to be sure, but also a difficult one to counter.

I love services like these -- by having strong end-user read-side filtering, you can run services with less platform-level publication censorship.

Platforms like Twitter have unique platform dynamics which make "dogpiling" and stuff like that particularly bad (no current social media platform is as good at handling moderation and abuse as USENET was...). Solving that is awesome.
I find that anybody who uses the term mansplaining loses credibility. If others opinion becomes disposable to you due to their gender identity, then you are a sexist.
I didn't like the skeuomorphic appearance, but to each their own. I despised the skeuomorphic behavior though. Limiting an app's functionality to that of its real-world counterpart was a God-awful trend of horribleness. For instance, here's an article about how much Lion's Address Book app sucked: https://www.betalogue.com/2012/01/15/abook6-dumb/

If a future version of macOS made the icons and app background textures photorealistic again, fine, so be it. I might think it was ugly, but I'd keep using it. If that same version brought back a Calendar app that only let you go to the next or previous month's view because that's how a real calendar works, I'd heave my laptop out the window and switch back to Linux.

Yes, the US is actually better about freedom of speech than China in practice.

To give you a negative example, a significant number of people organized a literal coup attempt, largely in the open, via social media, and nothing happened to them until they actually stormed the US Capitol building, after which some of them were arrested.

Large media companies with massive audiences broadcast divisive lies accusing the current President of being illegitimate due a fraudulent election. It is completely legal, and the government has taken no action to stop them.

Meanwhile, Jack Ma issued mild criticism of the Chinese government's financial regulation policies and promptly disappeared. And you're comparing that to "cancel culture?"

It's not that far off-base, given that most people don't understand the difference between on-package, where a component is bundled with the CPU on the same chip, and on-die, where a feature is actually part of the same litho process as the CPU.

On the other hand, I bought into the hype that the 8GB was fine for pretty much everyone.

I had a M1 Air with 8GB of RAM and ended up having to buy a M1 Air with 16GB of RAM since the swapping during my normal workflow made the machine unusably slow. Dozen Chrome tabs, Angular 2+ application being served, Webstorm, GUI Git client, Messages, and a few other little things.
You quickly learn to ignore every kind of negativity on Twitter. Sincere conversations are so rare, even if a comment looks like a reasonable disagreement, chances still are you'll get hate in return if you reply (and you'll only feel like a fool).
