Don’t you worry, the fight isn’t over. The more you ban, the larger the counter groups get and the more radicalized they get. You see it today already. Book burners were never on the correct side of history.
Sure, but there's another part of it where applying statistical averages to individuals promotes helplessness. Expecting people to suck it up and achieve despite adversity is not realistic at a population level and you should not promote that as a solution there, but individuals can and do achieve despite adversity. Telling people that they are real humans that can make decisions and do things is healthy and you don't want to take that away. It's a line you need to walk but only going with the population level approach has a lot of downsides.
My corollary to Hanlon's Razor is "When you and/or your associates have been caught being malicious multiple times, Hanlon's Razor no longer applies to you."
My biggest blocker isn’t a specific window manager, in that I can get a reasonable setup together in a relatively decent amount of time—it’s more around the fragmentation, or maybe my perceived fragmentation of the ecosystem as a whole.

I’ll get things set up. Then I’ll look for some alternative of an application I’m used to on Mac. There’ll be something, but it was written for KDE and I’m running Gnome, or vice versa, and it looks and feels decidedly out of place.

I’ll run something like Slack, or Spotify, and it’s sluggish and looks awkward next to all of my other windows.

It’s not one big thing that keeps me in the Mac ecosystem. I don’t like the direction it’s headed in either, but every time I try to make the switch it’s like death by a thousand cuts of a bunch of little things trying to get things to a point where it feels comfortable and cohesive—and ultimately I need to be able to work—the time investment necessary to get something that allows me to just sit down and work (and deal with random little issues that pop up throughout the process) pushes me right back to Mac every time.
On some level, it is due to the "invisible hand" as it were, that market forces in our current system optimize for convenience because that's what sells. On the other hand, it certainly isn't once the alternatives to the microwave-wares are eliminated because they don't sell well. An obvious example of this are SUV sales in the US. Car companies continue to sell non SUV vehicles in other countries where SUVs are too big but in the US where sprawl in abundant, SUVs sell more so car companies no longer sell them. But the thing is that was a decision the car companies made.

Regardless, you're not going to like this suggestion but fundamentally the issue OP has is with capitalism. While capitalism more or less created the wonders of modern life of convience we have, it also destroyed the naive, idyllic past(at least for some) and continues to do so as businesses look for more and more to commodify and more efficiency to exploit in order to maintain profit levels. The article is geared towards individual action to find more spice in life, I guess, but like that figure from the scirep paper, the whole market of stuff you can find out there just like the SUVs are focusing in on the efficient which is outside of your control.
This is a very interesting world view you have where Hitler is left wing. I think that alone scuppers any substance to your argument.

Stalin and Mao would only be left wing if you prescribe to the thought that communism by nature must only be left wing. I assume your train of thought on Hitler is similar because you're likely equating the socialist word in the Nazi party to left wing socialism.

At best this is dishonest and ignoring actual policy.
> I don’t see the connection between regulatory capture and what I’m describing.

In order to pass some kind of tax, you need regulators to pass some kind of tax. If the government is captured by the companies, they don't pass any kind of anything the company doesn't want, so you lose. If it isn't captured by the companies, you can do antitrust enforcement.

> Which monopolies are you referring to have zero competitors?

Apple and Google each have a monopoly on app stores for their respective platforms, for example.

Note that "monopoly" for antitrust doesn't mean that there are exactly zero competitors. It only means that one of them dominates the market and has market power.

> I don’t understand your point here, you’re listing pairs of competitors. Are you really not aware of large companies helping each other out?

Google and Oracle hate each other and are constantly embroiled in bitter litigation. Apple just jettisoned Intel's processors in favor of their own. Netflix has used Amazon (AWS) for hosting and it didn't stop Amazon from going into competition with them for content production (Amazon Prime Video).

Companies do what they like. What they like is to make money. One of the best ways to do that is to go make the money that some other company is currently making, or "commiditize your complement."[1] It isn't to altruistically help out competitors for no reason.

It's true, but it's not relevant. Take for instance mental arithmetic. Once you have the skill down, there's no real thinking involved anymore. Same with chess. Chess masters generally don't really think deep or hard. They just see and recognize more patterns. No thinking involved.

The trick is to get it (whatever "it" is) "down" to that level. Thinking fast and slow is a book about this topic.

Who are the great right wing leaders then who did not build roads or create any infrastructure during their tenure?
That's a hilarious, 80% accurate, impressionistic description. The misleading part would be to call it a "chemistry set", since that involves doing reactions, etc., and the instrument itself is just *detecting* cells and molecules.

I am the chief "body involved" (CEO/founder), and I suspect if you knew me you'd consider me a humanitarian, FWIW. Perhaps a too-humanitarian.
Your comment would make sense if Reddit and r/politics is an accurate description of the US population.

But I'll have to disagree, since the comment above me suggests that there are a significant number of non-American Reddit users who lean more left than the average American, skewing the upvoting patterns. I'd argue that there are a different set of "artificial advantages" on the internet, such as that.

And when I browsed r/politics during the 2016 and 2020 election seasons, it was clear that Bernie Sanders was the favored candidate by Redditors. However, more moderate politicians like Clinton and Biden actually won the nominations.

And the popular vote count is a reflection of the Electoral College process...if elections were actually decided on the popular vote, campaign strategies would be focused more on cities than rural areas shifting the results.
"XDD" for all X is overrated, in the sense that the ideas attract adherents who use them as the hammer for all nail-looking things. Yet the best way to present any XDD principles is to ignore the rest of the world and alternative approaches, otherwise you'll get bogged down in all the qualifications and exceptions and lose the central thread of what you're trying to communicate. The article is probably correct that bringing in DDD specialists on every design question is a mistake -- the use of DDD specialists ought to be to teach designers another way of doing design, then leave it up to them whether to apply it case-by-case. Same thing with TDD, the other D(data)DD, etc.

The best DDD-related thing I've read is the paper "Programming as if the domain (and performance) mattered": https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B59Tysg-nEQZSXRqVjJmQjZyVXc... One of the lessons I took from it is that too often as programmers we look at a problem and immediately try to transform it to some other problem, typically in a more abstract domain. Often this is fruitful, and our formal education (not to mention whiteboard-hazing interview practices) centers around pounding this into our heads with reusable data structures and algorithms. But also often it leads to something harder to evolve, not as fit for the original purpose, and more confusing (especially to those unfamiliar with the abstractions used). If DDD does nothing but make us challenge that default mode of thought and consider not doing problem transformation immediately every time, it's a worthwhile endeavor.

Another resource I widely recommend is the book Thinking Forth (http://thinking-forth.sourceforge.net/) It has many lessons applicable today on software design, including some useful thoughts on a program's "lexicon" that are somewhat DDD-related.
> If your will power budget is exhausted on food choices (because you don't have much money), its harder to make good white collar job decisions.

Don't you think this has a lot more to do with access? I can't imagine there are too many people saying: "I will turn down this high-paying management job because I spent my decision budget at the grocery store"
Where is it written that fascist establishment elites are American citizens?
Any internet platform that didnt moderate would be overwhelmed with spam, porn, scams, hate, etc. Censorship and moderation are the same, a set of rules you must follow to participate. Gab is has huge problems with porn spam because of free speech policies.

Imagine if email providers were not allowed to filter. Your email would be totally unusable.

Enacting no filters beyond what's illegal would make most of the internet unusable. Like imagine if HN had no moderation? It would lose its original purpose.

So what do you mean support free speech exactly? Allow people to freely post porn, scams, lies, death threats?
It's a rhetorical bait-and-switch. It is "understood" to mean (essentially) Protestant Europe when making strong claims, but gesturing at the broader notion of West to imply a scale larger than that at which the claim is credible. In any case, even "Australia, Canada, Catholic and Protestant Europe, New Zealand, plus the United States" is too broad of a definition to make GP's claim true.
This only works if you put cold war blinders on and equate the word communism to being left wing. Their policy and actions were decidedly not left wing.
I love technical reading but found DDD a really hard book to get through. I've been meaning to read the Vaughn Vernon books to figure out if they're an easier read for when I feel like I need to refresh my memory.
The real reason is that American tech company execs and most American tech workers are leftists, and leftists try to censor and ignore any political opinion they disagree with (rather than discuss, etc).

Since free speech platforms don't censor any content, leftists naturally hate them...and they'll do anything in their power to slow them down. Rather than acknowledge this, they make themselves feel better by claiming any non-censoring platform is "hosting far right terrorists".
If you were a photographer creating erotic gay art or a writer hosting a Communist poetry night, I would advise you not to bank on the right wing defending your freedom of expression.

Intel discontinues the Performance Tuning Protection Plan for all K-series CPUs
The way I see it is that DDD works well with very consolidated process modelling. Think finance, insurance, but also e-commerce, billing systems, etc.
If your business is for example into "data" processing or in the discovery phase at a startup, then I can see how DDD can feel like ultra over-engineering. But it has its place, for sure.

> How to you really test that?

You can test by sending email to a bunch of different mailboxes on different email providers, and then seeing which emails land. I've previously used GlockApps for this test and I've been happy with it, but you can probably find other similar services too. I'd be interested to know the results if you decide to test your deliverability.
Having had those things done to them, "the woke movement" isn't fooled by the argument "if you don't do these things to us, we won't do them to you."
Why in the world do we need 3 kbps audio for voice? It's so hard to hear people speaking over mobile phones. Why don't we use 32-64 kbps 48 kHz for all voice communication? GSM CSD offers 9-14 kbps down/up, 3G offers 384 kbps, and EDGE offers 473 kbps. Why limit to 3 kbps?
I get the impression Wayback Machine data is stored in powered down drives and they only spin them up when someone accesses the data. That would explain the several second delay and it'd make sense that an archive wouldn't need 95% of its data ready to go at a moments notice since that'd be a terrible waste of power.

Well good!

If I understood it correctly, then they are using simple physical disk mirrors for redundancy. To me that seems like a huge waste of disk space. Parity based redundancy schemes like RAID-Z3 are way more space efficient.
I do understand that parity based schemes need more time to heal/rebuild on drive replacements, but that does not seem to outweigh the huge amount of wasted disk space IMHO.
You just criticized the framing without repeating the language.
So a rented place? Where the owner has no incentive to fix it, and the tenant oftentimes doesn't have the authorization to do so. Especially when the owning entity is focused exclusively on extracting the profits. You accept it, move out, or turn insane.
That article misses some important nuances. Yes hard coding business logic can land you in hot water. But you don't need to do that domain driven design. What you do need is the domain to specify the flexibility of your design. Almost all business need an accounting system. An accounting system can be built following domain driven development. But for it to be useful to many businesses it must be flexible. So the rules around standard accounting ( the domain ) will be hard coded. But the system can still be configurable as the domain is too.

Definitely, but in the larger scale of things, Copenhagen is filled to the brink with overvalued buildings financed with zero-interest loans. If the interest rates start going up, the bubble is going to burst and a _lot_ of people are going to end up on the street ("the street" being used as a metaphor for a situation where there's no stable living situation).

Denmark and Sweden have managed to keep their housing bubbles intact for now, but I suspect the financial troubles brought on by the pandemic might change the situation quite radically the coming 6 months if the EU don't manage to secure vaccine availability and get the ball rolling.
Wreeto – Build a digital garden with your notes
One of the things that rubs me wrong are articles that present a solution with no downside. Even if I were to mostly agree with the article you quoted, surely there must be downsides to the "functional architecture"? And, sure enough, it's fairly easy to come up with them:

a. Configuration complexity: if your system is generic & simple, sometimes the complexity doesn't go away, it just moves. As in the excel case quoted by the author - sometimes those excel files become a horrible unmaintainable mess that just produce wrong results and nobody can really tell. Sure, your architecture is nice, but did you make life good for the users? There's something to be said about the qualities of domain-driven software, here...

b. Performance (as opposed to scalability). It's often much harder (though not impossible!) to optimize the system if it's business rules are written in the configuration. Try doing machine learning in excel... it's theoretically possible, right? And yes you can get better performance by scaling horizontally to some extent, but then you risk running a hard-to-maintain-and-costly distributed system instead of a single machine that could do everything well.
This makes absolutely no sense, and to me proves just how ignorant the left are of what could happen to them.

Censorship always becomes about those in power staying in power. Look no further than wall street bets. That had nothing to do with left right but about control and power.

Of course no one in the mainstream media is willing to consider this, because apparently wsb is financial trumpism.

Wake up. This is what the aclu warned about 50 years ago.
It's mainly an artefact of typewriters that people are already used to and don't want to change since it's worked well for a century already.

Also, it's a bit easier to read in a hurry. Films and TV are almost invariably shot out of sequence for logistical reasons so actors and production crew are constantly consulting copies of the script under less than ideal reading conditions.
All the way into Fourier but no mention of harmonics? This is a little over-academic relative to one of the main factors that influences the texture ("timbre") of sound - namely its harmonic content.

Distortion on a guitar makes an identical phrase sound much richer, and it's not just the wavelength limiting - it's the much louder harmonics relative to the fundamental.

> NFTs help prove ownership without needing a central authority (which is a big deal)

The same artwork or membership card or movie ticket can be wrapped in multiple NFT, each living on a different blockchain or on the same blockchain but in different contracts.

Hence you still need the central authority saying which chain is the true one. For example if the NFT represent a plot of virtual land, the game or software managing that land acts as the central authority.

Redditors lean farther left than the average american. The average internet user is also left of the average american because they trend younger.

But it's also undeniable that the average American leans left. That's why Republicans lose the popular vote in both chambers of congress and the presidency nearly every election. Their positions are unpopular, that's why they get down voted on "mainstream" sites where the user base is large enough to revert to the mean.

And campaign focus outside of urban cores would mean that the average American is even farther left than they appear to be.

Biden is farther right than the average Democrat because he needed to be to win. The structural advantages to Conservatives means the Democratic party needs to run centrist candidates.

In comparison, the same advantages mean the Republican party can still win with extreme right wing candidates. For example, Trump was the first president that never hit 50% approval rating but it was still high enough for him to win and do okay during his second campaign.
Cut Down Time Debugging with Rich Error Types
I've been eating mostly microwave meals (Factor75 & Freshly) for the past year, and found that they taste slightly better when baked in the oven for 10-15 minutes.

Freshly only lists microwave instructions, so it's probably a bad idea to bake the plastic, but my Corelle plates are rated for 350°F, so I can flip and bake those directly. Corelle/Vitrelle is an interesting material. It's lightweight, microwave/oven compatible, and the couple times I've dropped it over the years, it just bounced, though supposedly the tempered glass can violently explode.
