> Well, almost all of the work of Greek philosophers and their science and philosophy achievements were in Catholic Europe completely forgotten and actively censored for centuries.

While less available they were still known and studied and certainly not censored. Neo-Platonist and Aristotelian thought was very influential in the Post-Antiquity and Early-Medieval time periods: see the Desert Fathers and the Scholastics. And that's not even talking about the fact that the Byzantines were there the entire time; most "Renaissance" ideas had the origins in Medieval Byzantine thought.

As for hygiene, feel free to look at the Wikipedia article for it[1]: the sewers weren't that effective, people still threw rubbish in the streets, and the bathhouses were cesspools of disease. And that's not talking about that fact that Roman sewage and hygiene was just that: Roman. It's not like the Roman Empire was some golden age where every city in Europe lived like that. Most places it was just as dirty and filthy.

> Also the society drastically changed, it fell into religious fanaticism and extreme conservatism - which is the main reason why it was called the dark age actually.
It went from being under the control of an autocratic emperor to...being under the control of an autocratic feudal lord. Saying it "fell into [..] conservatism" seems a bit off when it really just traded one man for many. Religious fanaticism I won't bother talking about (why does everyone think people suddenly became more religious after Rome?). As for the term dark ages, that's just a term Petrarch alluded to the time period with, which was then later used in reference to the fewer historical records we have for the time period. It made no reference to religious fanaticism or conservatism.

Well, even one galaxy is too big for anyone. As one astronomer said, even one local arm of Milky Way is enough to fit all and every science fiction ever imagined. There's just too much stuff, that you don't need to think about other galaxies.
The article clearly distinguishes acquirations in the last 12 years, and before that.
I respect your choice as well, thanks for the civility. Maybe it's just a personal difference. My view is, there will always be people in crisis. Why are the ones suffering today more important than the ones suffering in 50 or 100 years? To me that's basically telling a suffering person "sorry, I could've saved and invested to give you $1,000 today, but the other guy beat you by 50 years so I gave him the $10 I had at the time."
I suggest you don't develop an interest in esp32, or like me you may add an equivalent pile of those devices to your gaggle of interesting but unused hardware.

Recursively Edit Files In-Place Using Node.js
While there are byzantine parts, I think it has been a net positive for the user.

People focus mostly on the cookie popups, but forcing companies to delete data after the user stopped using the service for too long, or even giving a legal stand on users requesting their data to be deleted wouldn’t have happened any other way I think.

In a lot of european countries GDPR came on top of other existing customer protection, but it helped make companies think about compliance as needed for continued business, instead of something akin to properly filing random local paperwork.
I don't think Heroku's pricing is unfair, anyway it's not my place to say it even if I think it :) I'm just saying we made the product as developers and with developers in mind in general but specifically when it comes to pricing.

I'm convinced that we can offer a great alternative to Heroku, at a lower cost, without sacrificing what's really matter : network and infrastructure quality, backups, DDos protection etc.

An overall risk of "low" is incorrect here. The risk is "none" because it's not applicable to your environment.

Or do you consider "low" a won't fix / not applicable categorization?
No one wants to pay extra for a feature in their personal car that will prevent them from exceeding the speed limit. (Some trucking companies do versions of this, but for personal cars, you might as well offer "seating with embedded broken glass" as an option.)

Quite frankly I’m surprised they still exist. Is it mostly European contracts? You never really hear about SUSE anymore…
Respectfully, it seems clear because you're living under a siege mentality. "All Lives Matter" is a short phrase composed of common English words - some people do use it as a slogan to oppose the BLM movement, but others use it as a compact expression of the idea that every human's life has value. When Jennifer Lopez tweeted "#AllLivesMatter #LoveMakeTheWorldGoRound" over a picture of herself holding hands with Lin-Manuel Miranda and rainbow flags waving in the foreground, is it really plausible that she was declaring her allegiance to anti-BLM groups?
Perhaps because they’re owned by an investment company who now want their money back.

The timing seems right, Redhat is now owned by IBM, so setting SuSE free to compete with Ubuntu and Redhat might be a smart move. Ubuntu is doing their own thing in many respects, and IBM pretty much removed RedHat from the stockmarket, and pissed of some people with CentOS. Those CentOS users need to look for a new distro.
Yes, that's the point. One side is being taken.
I'm not offended, I simply find it juvenile.

I wouldn't be offended if Barack Obama burped and said fuck during a speech, I'd simply find it to be unnecessary. Not everyone that dislikes swearing is a moral puritan, you know?
Is the implication that (almost?) every other western country wants their citizens to be ripped off because they allow Binance? I don't think it's quite as simple as that..
How do you know that you're actually "bending the curve" and not just driving it underground?
I mean, plenty of human pen-testers also use automated tools. It's common knowledge (or at least I thought it was) that these scanners produce contextless output that is going to require analysis in order to be useful. The scanner is just looking for known vulnerabilities; that's a useful tool, because you don't necessarily need to know that a CVE was published to know that it exists in your environment. A human still needs to step in and match that finding to a real risk of exploitation.

Let's see...

My grandparents used the N word freely.

My parents used the C word on occasion when they were younger and grew out of it.

I don't use either, and neither do my kids.

Generations don't exist in bubbles. They are shaped and influenced by popular society just as much as their local communities.

30 years ago, the AIDS epidemic was a punchline.

17 years ago, you couldn't be openly gay in the military and the majority of people in the US supported it.

Now, most people are in favor of gay marriage and a sizeable percentage are fine with trans rights.

The best part about bigots is that they are mortal.
> the Andromeda Galaxy (distance ~ 2,4 million light years), which is very hard to see with the naked eye

That's due to light pollution in populated areas.

If you're out in the deep desert, it's not that hard to see. The night sky in the desert is a very, VERY different experience from what most people have seen from the city. It's like you're on a different planet.

It would be considered far more insulting if Germany took their foot off the pedal and eased off offensively. The media would have a (bigger) field day with that. As well, this is professional sports, not gym class.

Even in international hockey: Canada, USA, Russia will thump teams 20-0 sometimes. There is no way any member of any team, coaching staff or otherwise, to ease off.
There is a lot of truth to this and you are one of the few people I've seen mention amdahl's law in the correct context.

There are multiple malloc implementations (gcc and maybe clang) that are supposedly multi-threaded now and multiple allocators are explicitly made for it like jemalloc, so I don't think the situation is quite as dire anymore.

That being said, I agree that using per-thread heaps is a much better structure by default for a heavily multi-threaded program since allocations crossing threads probably should be handled explicitly and memory mapping from the OS will still block (as far as I know).

I recommend you compare the wikipedia pages of both amphetamine and methamphetamine. Meth is directly neurotoxic, even at "normal" doses of 10mg, while amphetamine is actually neuroprotective until you use really big doses.

Vyvanse is basically amphetamine hooked to a protein that has to be metabolized before it has psychological effects, so lowers its abuse potential. I'm 100% in favor of amphetamine legalization, but we've got to be smart about it and not allow toxic forms of it to be available. Pure meth should not be legal, nor should pure fentanyl or cocaine(methylphenidate would be a good alternative with a better safety profile)
SEPE (Spanish Employment Agency) using archive.org to restore site after attack

Banks are tremendously inefficient and have to support huge fixed costs for branches. Credit cards also offer a 1 month grace period without interest, so the effective yield they get is lower, thus they have to charge higher.

The cost structure of banks is mainly about credit risk (defaults), fixed costs, origination and servicing costs, and funding costs. For startups the funding costs is the biggest problem because banks fund themselves at close to 0% out of deposits. We have to raise expensive debt. As we drive this cost down, we will have much better conditions for users and merchants

Thanks! I know trust is an important part, I'll never say our servers cannot be hacked because it's not true : any server can be hacked, but we made everything as strong as possible. You can directly use a docker hub image or Github to protect your code, we uses encryption as rest and our backups have data immutability to provide ransomware protection.

This is not always the case. I recall learning during my youth that in Victoria, Australia, the heat cycles and pregnancies of the entire herd were synchronised to that it lead to a period of 6 to 8 weeks where no milking occurred at all.

That's not to say that there was nothing to do on the farm, or it was time to take a holiday, just that the cows did not need milking during that time period, so perhaps it was easier to relax a little.

There are also "contract milkers" who can be brought in for short stints of time, allowing the owners to take time off. Of course there is a cost to this, but I guess that just needs to be budgeted into the overall cost of the "holiday."
Again respectfully disagree. "double standards" is in the eye of the beholder. Barring some incendiary comments, this dialogue has been healthy & necessary.

Can we please start regulating crypto currency mining? This is insane. I think it needs to be global mining regulation. Can the UN do anything else? If we start taking all the energy used to mine a given cryptocurrency it aggregates to more than most countries per cryptocurrency. Not ok. I know this is controversial but we have to at least debate this subject as we face an existential threat from climate change and yes cryptocurrencies are contributing to the climate crisis.
I think the article writer is glossing over the difficulty of keeping a farm in business without the external factors. My experience, growing up in an farming area, is that the kids of farmers are relieved when the farm is sold to a big conglomerate.

If the author cared so much about the farm, nothing stopped him from going back and dedicating his life to keeping it running.
> There are no situations where it makes sense to say that lots of allocations are cheap and only cost a few instructions.

This is so trivially shown to be false that I suspect you are trolling. There is, for example, the situation I showed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26438596. Moreover, as gsg says, this is very generally true of pointer-bumping allocators in modern GCs; SBCL's GC isn't even all that modern.
If you are only going to visit one location, or if you have young kids, or you want to hit up the other smithsonian museum's the Air and Space museum on the mall takes priority.

That said, I've been to the Air and Space museum a handful of times, and I only go back when I have visitors in town who want to do the tourist thing.

The udvar-hazy faculty is something I'll visit on my own over and over again. It's an incredible collection of important machines including the discovery space shuttle, an SR71 blackbird, the Enola Gay, etc.
Author here - would definitely appreciate any more feedback on it being a misfire. Was it unfocused? Inaccurate? Boring?

(edit) Alternatively if easier to chat 1:1 would love to talk via email, our address is on this page: https://staysaasy.com/about.html (don't want to post our email onto a large public forum). Would really appreciate the feedback.
Surely that's only in the best interest of the people, just like in all the areas a major government has a vested interest in exerting a large amount of control upon. Surely.

EDIT: wording
One other consideration is I've found (at least on the Pi) CPU load is increased when performing heavy read/write activity. Certainly a little more than when I do the same thing through a SATA controller or testing through a Broadcom hardware RAID adapter.

And that CPU load gets a little into the worrisome territory when I put multiple NVMe in a RAID (which I'll be documenting soon!).
> IBM pretty much removed RedHat from the market

Could you please elaborate on this?
The big thing for me is _why_ no patch is available: the maintainer concluding there’s no meaningful impact is different than nobody actually working on the project.

I’m especially thinking about things like (IIRC) that old Debian man packaging issue where the exploit only affected the post-install script and since it was so late in the life of that release they basically said they wouldn’t ship an update unless there was another issue forcing it.

"there's no reason for me to support freedom of speech for those who don't support mine."

Humility.

There's no better way to put your mind into 'listening mode' than to assume that the person in front of you might know something that you don't.

Be humble, and listening will come naturally. The rest is just getting a better memory/knowledge base for better understanding.
It incurs real costs. Brits have no idea how expensive it is to immigrate legally to the UK, or other EU countries from outwith the EU.
I bet since this hacker news post he's made much more money.
This is the mainstream thinking in the US, and why everything is rapidly going to shit. There is no "we" giving people a microphone -- it is a select few oligarchs who wield exceptional control to take away the voice of people whose views run counter to their and their cronies' interests. There is no democracy, representation, or transparency. The coming antithesis will be bypassing the control of the few on the voice of the many, and an Internet 2.0 which will be resistant to the censorship of tyrants and warmongers who comprise the faux-woke... if we still have the electrical grid & network infrastructure to support it...
I think it's done to decouple versions. Imagine component A updating its major, causing the whole suite to update its major. But that higher major might also have newer versions of components B and C, but you don't want to upgrade your usage of these.

There are cohesive component kits versioned as whole package, but I never liked that to be frank. I think this is good evolution, just messy because it's new. I'm sure better tooling will eventually emerge.
True. A Marxist will have a different conception of the masses from an anarchist (even though the intersection is usually pretty large). But I fail to see what that has to do with anything. There is no game of leftism. The goal is to free people from the tyranny of capitalism and fascism (marxists might emphasize the former while anarchists the latter).

Leftists generally accept rich folks sympathetic to the cause, even though they technically don’t belong to the masses. For example Marxists and anarchists alike generally accept Henry David Thoreau and Leo Tolstoy as leftists (even though the latter was born into great wealth), and leftists generally accept Dan Price (#DanPriceSeattle on twitter) even though he is a boss (i.e. not off the masses).
It's completely disingenuous to categorize statements like "the US tax code is too complex" and "Jews are starting forest fires with space lasers" both as just 'political opinions'.
> Nobody checks whether those warnings make any sense

I mean, a professional does. I'm not sure who you're working with but mapping an automated finding to a real risk is par for the course. If anyone ever just hands you the output of a Nessus scan with no context, then you just wasted your money on their services.

And here we have the perfect example of the denial the article describes. "Everything you say is not true and China will fail." Way to prepare for the hurricane. :-)
If they aren't a "good platform citizen" at the beginning, it's unlikely they will be later on. This might be something they're willing to accept as it's unlikely to affect them directly, but in aggregate, every growth-focused startup building is JS today because it's quick, will result in high powered machines being saturated with slow software.

I suspect the effect will be that Apple gets hate for not making fast enough computers with enough battery life, and people reluctantly spend another $1500 on a laptop after 2 years because it's too slow.

My advice to the company would be that their target device is almost certainly the base model MacBook Air with 8GB RAM running Slack, a large Excel spreadsheet, and Chrome with 100 tabs of Gmail and documents, and that if they aren't _lightning_ fast on that now they need to optimise soon, because they'll get slower over time.
You must work with some pretty poorly organised companies. I work with a lot of French, Belgian and German companies and they pretty much all have proper procedures and tools for this.

In France in particular the right to access/change/delete any and all data a company has on you was there long before GDPR (by decades) so most serious company are well used and prepped for it.
SUSE bought Rancher in 2020, and that was also in the news.
That's a valid point, and fortunately you can use a laptop at a desk, too. However, the laptop can also be picked up and taken with you if that's what you need to do, while the desktop is stuck at that desk forever.
Why am I not surprised that the glibc maintainers dispute a security vulnerability. They might actually be right in this case, but glibc has a long history of breaking programs and not caring, which combined with strongly preferring dynamic linking makes it a mess to deal with.

Al-Quaeda might not appreciate being labelled as extremists, but so what?

We have to call things as we see them. And build a consensus around what's core values and within the normal range of debate, and what's beyond that into dangerous, destructive, and even murderous.
Agreed, the right to access/change/delete any and all information a company stores on you predates GDPR by decades in France. It's not a new thing.
I signed up for Binance.US about two months back. It’s legit but a very low quality offering. Support is just massively overwhelmed and unresponsive. But most exchanges are overwhelmed now so it’s not that unusual.
I get where you're coming from. It's just amusing that many people talk about how great it is to use LSP with Emacs, but are simultaneously recommending not to use MS tools :-)

If one is concerned enough not to use VSCode because it is MS, then one should also not use LSP.
