I think you may have missed the point made: it's not that context is too difficult to convey. It's that context doesn't matter (in some circumstances). I don't know why people feel this way, but I've also noticed that some people, for some actions, accept no explanation of any kind. It makes sense why this would happen in politics - you can use it as a cudgel against your opponent. Perhaps it has spread to other avenues of life too?
I predict a ton of semi-popular web services will pop up over the next few years which follow this "small web" ethos. And I'll be seeking out (and building!) tools like this. Too much VC money fueled a bloated developer ecosystem which nearly destroyed what makes the web fun and special, but the rebels are fighting back and we're seeing some pretty cool stuff arise which enables solo devs and tiny teams to accomplish some mighty things.
> File and directions were not an UNIX invention.

Nobody here has said that. Even if they were, it would be irrelevant.

> I would provide you the links to prove that,

Why would you feel the need to prove something that nobody is disputing, and is irrelevant?

> but I don't want to shatter dreams of UNIX worshiping

Why would you think anyone here worships Unix?
It not only ended the man's career, it tarnished his legacy. He worked 50 years, and this is what he'll be remembered for. It's really screwed up. The Times really mishandled this one. I hope those involved one day come to regret what they've done. Sometimes... Regret is the best form of karma we can get.
Sorry if our edits crossed! We mostly agree, except on one point—I concur with the author that responding to The Daily Beast's story with an apology, without providing any additional context, would be acknowledging that the story as reported was accurate. And if it's not accurate, that's a great way to ensure that the situation escalates, in a way that's good for neither the author nor the Times.

I spent the last year and a half living about as far from my home city as possible (Melbourne > Edinburgh) (Currently in quarantine) and the latency of phone calls drives me nuts.

But I agree with you... nobody seems to care except me.
As an amateur chess player (2000/rapid/lichess) I wouldn't say the speed or amount of thinking I do has changed as I've gotten better in terms of the number of moves I evaluate. In fact it feels like I frequently think less now than when I was worse.

My brain has compressed/chunked patterns so that I can immediately see what the optimal move or set of candidate moves are instead of having to determine them more computationally.

I'm not sure how that fits into the framework of this article. Something like the number of calculations remains static but total work done per calculation increases.

Much of the debate in this comment thread is a result of these concepts being fuzzily defined in the article itself.
the first two articles are people who are being given a platform to complain about cancel culture. If the premise of the complaints about cancel culture is that anything outside of the "mainstream" woke consensus is silenced, these are proof that that is not happening.

The last article is not mainstream at all. Gun ownership as a means of pushing a leftist agenda is extremely different from the somewhat mainstream, right-leaning ideas about gun ownership
The media landscape is more diverse now. In the past, television stations would regularly censor material in order to avoid getting “cancelled” by the Christian right.[1] Cancel culture is just a new word for an age-old illiberal phenomenon.

Imagine the scene the way a teenager likely would: there's a powerful old man, surrounded by half-naked young girls. His assistant is photographing them. Is it hard to make one more step of imagining these two men may be deriving some sexual satisfaction from seeing the bodies of these girls who feel forced to be naked around them?

Again, to be clear: I am not in any way claiming that the scene was anything like that. The reporter was likely younger when it happened, inexperienced. The photographer was likely mischievous rather than leering. The reporter likely felt embarrassed and overwhelmed.

But, what are the chances a group of self-righteous, woke young teenage girls (he already knew they were like this, by his own account) would see the scene like that, imagining this powerful, authoritative old man they are seeing was once something else?

> There was a study of elementary school children that showed that girls taught by women perform more poorly in math than girls taught by men. With boys, the gender of the teacher didn't matter nearly as much. The researches speculated that women teachers might be projecting their own insecurities about math to the women in the class, essentially giving the girls permission to be bad at math just because they are girls.

And if it was the opposite, the researchers would have speculated that it was because the way we teach math is sexist. No matter what, we always arrive at the same conclusions - sexism and white supremacy. Just like with wars, myriads of different reasons and excuses, but always the same outcome.

Bad teaching is just bad teaching. I live in a racially homogeneous country where we have virtually no minorities and we have similar problems as well.
Do you have a source for that? Gaming latency is noticeable in the ~100ms range, and humans are highly sensitive to small adjustments in speech.

I would've thought it would be closer to the 200ms range, but I don't have any data to support that.
> I have long held the belief that "math does not care about your identity".

Math doesn't.

Teachers and systems of pedagogy[0], however, can even if the subject matter does not.

> I also don't grant that the two governments are equivalent threats to privacy

So for someone like me, living in a 14 eyes country, are you saying it is worse for my privacy that a government on the other side of the earth that my government doesn't really like might have access to some of my data is better compared to a country my government are sharing data with who also have access to pretty much everything that happens online? I know for a fact that no matter what I say or do online PRC agents will never knock down my door. US agents? That would be quite a lot easier. In less serious waters, privacy is also worse as we know from Snowden that the US not only harvest everything it can but it also share it with US businesses. Will I ever see ads based on an algorithm trained on data from both sides? No idea, but I know which one would be worse for me by a long shot.
M4 and M249 don't really have anything in common, and the latter is a Belgian (FN) design. On the other hand, RPK is really the same gun as AK in essence, just beefed up.

But even when comparing M4/M16 vs AK, it depends. The Stoner design is more sensitive to dirt, but it's also much better at keeping it out:

(Not coincidentally, the AK slit for the charging handle that opens up whenever the gun is off safe is not-so-affectionately referred to as "slit for dirt" in Russian Army speak.)

I have both of these -- both purchased at the same time via Amazon, needed two mounts and figured I'd use the "better" one in the primary location:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K9MQTB1/
and
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T3KCQ94/

They're both extremely similar; you really can't go wrong for <$25. I actually have 3 of the cheap one now, only 1 (the initial order) of the more expensive one. They're functionally identical for my usage; and it's a huge ergonomics win no matter what.

Also, if you have a desktop mic, buy a microphone arm for it; is similarly fantastic price-vs-value proposition (though monitor arm is massively more useful upgrade just due to how much you use it).

I don't thing this is true. If for no other reasons than pedagogical, it can make sense to separate these things. I do agree there probably needs to be at least one other document, but don't know the context the authors presented this one, it was just given as a link.
Only in that is gives power to make change.
The “freedom fry” troupe can actually be traced back even farther to WWI

If you’ve ever wondered why “frankfurters” are now called “hot dogs” or why “sauerkraut” was called “liberty cabbage” for a hot minute, it’s because of anti-German sentiment in the US [1]

That covers it, but 90ms sucks. Opus has much lower latency.
I'm glad you bring up latency - I've experienced several second latency in discord and it's really terrible when it happens (diagnosed via side-channel). The worst thing is that the app does nothing to try to salvage the conversation and the app doesn't tell you it's in a degraded state, so you'd never know this was a problem.
It’s pretty sweet for optimization though. Doing Nothing is almost always faster than the alternatives.

The underpinnings of the "cancel culture", the intolerance and mob mentality, were always around.

The "cancel culture" adds two news things to the picture. One is the ability for anyone to participate, not just the few on the TV screen or newspaper pages. Another is the attempts at totality: expel the victim from every social media platform, every internet hosting, every payment platform, every public venue. It's not yet as bad as it was during the fascist years in Italy, but the approach is pretty similar. There is also no formal totalitarian party to drive it; people just join the cause by reposting a tweet, and acting accordingly when in a position to ban, expel, deplatorm, etc.

Have you considered that cancel culture is the new punk rock? Look at the reaction in this thread. The responses range from clutching pearls to legitimate fear. Just like the reactions to punk rock.

Even the real punk rock was pretty much in line with what we consider cancel culture. It's an attack on the establishment:

I think this person isn't saying it's fine. They're pointing out that the outrage about this is dissociated from the fact that this has been a longstanding problem and therefore likely has significantly deeper issues than the surface-level symptoms (eg. self-censorship).
There is a difference between indifference and dispassion. Because of the author's long career and varied experiences, he is able to see that most issues are not black and white. The problem is that high school kids are not academically dispassionate; they are not equipped to see deviations from their orthodoxy as anything but sinful.

People should be able to live and work with people who are academically dispassionate; no one is perfect and there are worse sins in the world. Indeed, I believe in the benefits of diversity: communities need people who can face emotionally charged issues head-on and come up with new ideas even if unpopular.
We know about five eyes.

The pessimist in me assumes that's because it's a good cover for the intelligence agencies data sharing agreements between the US, China, India, Russian, North Korea, et al.
I disagree, and I think most people disagree. This is the ant and the grasshopper, man. Most people are not inclined to enslave the ant for the benefit of the grasshopper.

Or, you could just call std::sort and be done with it. (And, oh, by the way, it is faster than qsort - templated code often is.)
CUDA has had asynchronous command lists (multiple, actually, via streams) forever. What does AMD’s special hardware enable? Is it exposed in ROCm somehow?

Edit: Maybe I should be more precise with my language. Using CUDA streams, you can queue up and execute multiple kernels (basically commands?) in parallel. Kernels invoked on the same stream are serialized. I have no idea what the exact analog is in the compute shader world.
Isn't it the other way around? Weren't news much more concentrated before the option of writing blog posts or tweets existed?

Isn't your implication of "shorted above 100%" that there are shares that don't exist that need to be bought back? With synthetic longs, that just isn't the case. If that isn't the case, then what's the issue with percentage of float shorted above 100%? I'll tell you: There simply is no issue here, it's just an accounting curiosity.

Now, perhaps you aren't making that argument, but the person writing the blog post for this comment thread is making that argument. It's used to convince clueless people that if only everyone holds on to their shares, they need to be bought back at practically any price. It's just not true.

If indeed you aren't making that argument, then I don't really get your point.
Off topic but how do you put images on ipfs and what’s the advantage over e.g. Imgur?
If what you’re saying is that the New York Times is now the progressive version of Liberty University then I accept that concession.

Regarding your edit:

> Edit: Forgot to mention this extreme example of cancel culture: https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/professor-who-wore-hijab-...

The professor was fired from a Christian school for making an assertion (that Muslims and Christians “worship the same god”) that, according to its theology, amounts to heresy: https://www.businessinsider.com/professor-maybe-fired-for-hi...

> “Contrary to some media reports, social media activity and subsequent public perception, Dr. Hawkins' administrative leave resulted from theological statements that seemed inconsistent with Wheaton College's doctrinal convictions, and is in no way related to her race, gender, or commitment to wear a hijab during Advent," Wheaton's administration said in a statement released December 16th.

So if your point is that cancel culture is the expression of a new progressive theology, then again I accept your concession.

I love these. I had stopped tinkering with devices many years ago. These days you can't even replace the ram of a machine without spending a week making sure it is compatible. Nevertheless it is still possible.

I got my inspiration back after watching [DIY Perks](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUQo7nzH1sXVpzL92VesANw) on youtube. If you want a much more detailed instruction on how to build these screens, I highly recommend him. As intimidating as all our devices are today, all you need is to unglue the plastic housing to reveal their secrets.

PS: people love to throw away perfectly fine electronics. There is no shortage of practice devices by the dumpster.

Edit: typo
Most landline networks are also digital now for exchange to exchange communications, so even those will be packet based
Perl.com seems like it might be connected to other things, perhaps the sale was just to hide something more nefarious? I don't know how many @perl.com email addresses there are but if people submit code using email as an identifier ... I'd guess there are second factors and such; and that in this case people now know to check for errant submissions/accesses. AFAIK there's nothing juicy to download from the perl.com domain itself?
