> if any humans manage to gather in large quantities in the future, all phones go into an unplugged microwave.

Or just gently enforce the norm that it's rude to look at your phone? I totally get that there are individual people who use their phone while socializing (in my experience, usually those who are dealing with some intense anxiety at the time), but most people understand that it's rude.

Is this just a cultural/class blindspot of mine? Do you really encounter social situations of 3+ people where everyone is on their phone at dinner?
Given that the change happened in the mid-morning PST (timezone where GitHub HQ and most devs are located), I'm going to bet it's almost certainly something messed up from a regular update or deployment.
I don't think this is a very good characterization of the debate. Most importantly, the debate as far as I can tell centers around whether or not it is appropriate for your livelihood and access to healthcare to be at the mercy of a Twitter mob, specifically about whether or not threatening someone's livelihood, etc (namely by way of harassment campaign against one's employer) constitutes 'free speech'--more abstractly, the debate is about whether or not threats and harassment constitute free speech.

Further, I don't think the cancel culture debate is about the Overton Window as much as rank partisanship. For example, I don't think progressives would argue that nonviolent protest falls afoul of their OW, but they canceled (and defend the canceling of) a data scientist who so transgressed. Similarly, do progressives really think it's so offensive to publish a quote from a black man in the context of BLM in which he wished for more attention to other problems his community faces--is that actually outside of their OW, or is it more likely that the journalist's crime was publishing a viewpoint that failed to toe the ideological line? Similarly, the Hispanic utility worker who accidentally and absent-mindedly made the "OK" gesture from his truck--whose Overton window is that out-of-bounds of? Or the professor who said a Chinese word in appropriate context which sounded sort of like the N-word? Are these really outside of people's Overton window, or is this just overt bullying? In the other direction, the sitting Prime Minister of Canada has dressed in blackface so often that he's admittedly lost track, but he was somehow not cancelled? Is blackface really within the left-wing Overton Window, or are we observing ideological partisanship?

EDIT: Downvoters, I'm really interested in hearing your opinions!
The coco-cola incident made national news, I imagine there are better articles out there; I simply grabbed the first one on google - I should have sought out a better one to link to.

However, from the article, you can see several of the slides that are presented. I find it hard to believe that there's some other context than race being referred to in these slides. Do you have reason to believe that the "white" in the slides is referring to something other than race? And if not, could you provide a possible greater context that doesn't place these slides under the guise of making broad generalizations about a group of people based on their identity? I am trying to think of one myself; however, I am failing to do so.

Here's a more bland article on the incident: https://www.fox5dc.com/news/coca-cola-staff-told-in-online-t...
It uses both brk/sbrk ("__brk()" in that code) and mmap, the latter for allocating larger bits of memory. GNU libc does the same thing from what I remember from straces.
In football you are always invested in some way, even if it is not your team you develop preferences, at least among the major teams that people watch even if it is not their specific team.

Regarding the issue itself, can't they just reduce the size of the protection? For an untrained eye it looks like the protection the goalies are wearing is very unoptimised and take much more space than required. I am sure with modern materials they can find something that will wrap closer to the body and still protect them rather than turning them into a transformer equivalent of a concrete wall
There's such fees on any copywrite material. This 'blockchain proves ownership' stuff doesn't add or subtract from that?
There is a list of CVEs available via NVD or similar, however the challenge for a scanner is "how do I know if the binaries I'm seeing have been patched"

The common way to do that is to lean on the linux distribution's package management system, which is why the way it works varies from distro to distro.
A tweet thread on platform fraud lessons learned
I thought using a 43" 4k TV as a monitor was a good idea until I actually tried it with the TCL S525. It looked really bad at close range, like this: https://i.rtings.com/assets/pages/li6TPHJm/user-1-large.jpg

So if you haven't tried it, beware. If you HAVE tried it, what model is working well for you?
>deliberately associated with IDW-types specifically, I think, to troll leftists.

Huh? It seems like McWhorter genuinely has a lot of intellectual overlap with "IDW-types". McWhorter himself is often considered an "IDW-type" himself, no? Why should his association be remotely surprising?

Why should the existence of a feud with TNC be intrinsically concerning? Are feuds intrinsically concerning? Or is TNC simply beyond reproach?

"That problem is better solved by eliminating the silos and aligning incentives rather than gaining technical knowledge, in my opinion."

How do you actually do that though?

Employees typically have incentive to perform their own function to the best of their abilities. This manifests as things like compliance theatre, excessive/impractical IT policies, over-engineering the software, features/products built for the sake of it.
Still reading the article, but this is an interesting blurb if nothing else:

"To be truly countercultural today, in a time of tech hegemony, one has to, above all, betray the platform, which may come in the form of betraying or divesting from your public online self."

I hadn't thought of boycotting much of popular online space as being counter-cultural. It's an interesting thought.

But facing enormous pressure from a younger generation that seems to be far to the left of Biden and was not happy with either Biden or Harris, but voted against Trump rather than for Biden.

And even with all Trump's failings as a person, it was a close election between the unpopular populist and the likeable establishment compromise. Is that evidence of establishment strength?

You could also argue that "seeing" doesn't necessarily mean "perceiving". I can point my eyes to the exact spot where the Andromeda Galaxy is, or even other galaxies further away, and not actually perceive anything. But tint amount of photons from that galaxy still hit my eye. But that's being obtuse..
The FEDS & other entities have infiltrated all major dissident "movements" on the political left & right, paying/lightening sentences of convicted criminals and/or manipulating gullible ideologues to do sensationalist acts.

It's all theater or Professional Wrestling. Enjoy the show.

The slowness of BTC adoption and growth are its strength. Within a decade, BTC investors will reach the highest offices of decision making bodies, and will be wealthy enough to shape the future of policy. States bodies will adapt not compete, similar to how they've adapted to the internet.
I know that liberalism and progressiveness are different things. Liberalism isn't tied to progressiveness, but progressiveness is inherently tied to economic justice. Socialism is certainly a progressive stance.

Liberalism can be dropped with no real loss.

What's wrong with Cuba? It seems like it's doing pretty well; it has more or less the longest-lasting government in South America, largely because it dropped liberalism.

I can imagine a provider that offers "Disaster Recovery Plan" in the sense that you push a button and they spin up [whatever machines you subscribe to] in a different data center and restore your latest backup to it.

Or the button flips your DNS from your usual primary servers to a hot backup (or a cold backup that you brought online yourself).
Oh man. This broke my brain just trying to get one of them without breaking all of the ones that crossed it. I love this.
Hangouts is the one I'm most personally frustrated by, too, but what I'd really love to see rise up to replace it is an open protocol with a reference implementation client that's similar to Discord (broadly, anyone can create a "server" that's independent of actual physical servers, each server can have more-or-less arbitrary channels, most importantly both text and voice/video, supporting inlining of images and some other nice modern QoL features that, say, IRC lacks). It frustrates me no end that all our common "modern" communications platforms belong entirely to one company or another, and will only be allowed to exist as long as those companies can continue leveraging them to maintain an income (one way or another).

I've heard some good things about Matrix[0], but I'm even a bit wary of any "open" protocol that's backed by a single for-profit company. However, I don't know of anything out there that's better right now.

The trouble, as always, is getting the people you want to communicate with to agree to use it, too...

Google is another big one. Isn’t YouTube for example largely built upon a Polymer fork? Chrome dev tools are web components and lit-element as a project is genuinely exciting example of where they are taking them.

Apparently those supporting GDPR would rather have the EU fine Google than to ensure small businesses can survive and be productive with technology, even when the fine to Google is a small amount compared to how much Google makes in the EU. Makes perfect sense, no?
I don't think I've seen that exact logic, but it probably could be implemented via scanners that have a "white-list" feature. you could build lists of things you know about but don't want flagged, but I'd guess the maintenance could be a pain.
You're not only being snarky, which is against this site's rules, you're also making a nonsensical comparison: Microsoft isn't beating around the bush implementing a Linux kernel inside Windows, it's right there in the name.

The biggest thing I hear among new Trump supporters is how is is treated. I say keep this sort of thing up.

We have just begun to fight back against the portion of the population with a vested interested in pseudoscience like the wage gap myth and apocalyptic theory. We shall continue to make their inconsistencies and vanity known.

I look forward to casting my vote for President Trump or his endorsement and ultimately winning the battle against post modernist garbage.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
Thank you for noting this, as I have found NPR to now be unbearable. I listened to it for over 30 years, and for the longest time it was one of my main sources. Now, like you say, they're like self-parody -- but not funny.

Clearly, they've chosen to see the world, and therefore report _every_ story, through a narrow set of prisms: race, ethnicity, gender [identity], sexual orientation, and class. I still tune in to them from time to time to check, and now I play a game: how long before I hear a reference to one of the above perspectives. In general, it's less than 2 minutes, and often less than 1. It's as though they're beating a drum, or like a mantra.

I hope that quality journalism returns someday.
The question as I interpreted it is "what has he not yet delivered on" - not "what has he promised to deliver on and appears to be making progress on, and has started rolling out, but is not yet broadly available" :)
It has extended attributes instead. You can look at them with `xattr -l /path/to/file`. Tags go into `com.apple.FinderInfo`, and resource forks are, predictably, `com.apple.ResourceFork`, though they're probably still stored in a format classic Mac OS understands.
So you know the variability hypothesis to be false, then? Or you know it to have no real world consequences? How did you acquire such knowledge?

"boys were falling behind academically"

This also follows from the variability hypothesis, since grades have negative skewness instead of metrics like citations which have positive skewness.

That's not going to stop organized crime or states that want to leverage influence over Bitcoin. Regulating the mining of physical materials is easier because governments can directly control the mines and regulate shipping and industries, etc. But even then, mining is full of cartels, slavery and blood money.

Unfortunately, I think the only thing that's going to stop Bitcoin mining is the laws of physics.
I bet it will. It has worked so far.

We always assumed that saying the quiet part out loud worked against you. Turns out that people like saying the quiet part out loud. It gives them a rush. And the people who weren't supposed to hear the quiet part heard it all along, so it doesn't really change anything.

So yeah, they can go ahead and say "Anybody who dislikes my guy is Socialist/Communist/Leftist/Other Vacuous Word That Means Bad To Me". They enjoy it, you hate it, but you can't vote against him any harder than you already were. And for those who were meh on it, they either join in on the joy, or remain meh rather that push back.

It's pretty much win-win for them. It didn't work last time only because of a literal pandemic that would have worked against anybody who was in charge, even if they didn't obviously bungle it.

So basically, expect more of it. Because it works, and it will continue to work.

> some slightly bad opinion suddenly finds themselves shut out of the main platforms because of hate speech rules

A "slightly bad opinion" has to be more than "slightly bad" to break hate speech rules.

If you feel a platform is overzealous in enforcing hate speech rules, don't use it. Or maybe ask yourself some questions before moving out.

I just switched last week, so can confirm that as of very recently, it is still far superior to lastpass.

Two notes worth highlighting

- UX is much lighter and more reliable for Bitwarden on web

- iOS implementation of Bitwarden is faster, more reliable, and has better interaction with the keyboard than last pass. I find the Bitwarden experience on iOS a considerable upgrade.

Yes these look excellent, will have to try them out soon! You’re right, you can tell accessibility and compatibility were considered here. I haven’t looked at them all yet, but I noticed the autocomplete element uses XmlHttpRequest versus Fetch.
I think I see where you're coming from, but I would argue this was be much more true a few decades ago than it is today— the internet is not without its faults, but it has democratized access to a lot of what is needed to ramp up on the arcane languages of things like mathematics and law.

Obviously in-person mentorship and instruction is still ideal, but the modern internet is much more than just a virtual text book or a bunch of videos of recorded lectures— for any given topic there are a hundred communities which happily welcome novices and are willing to examine your reasoning about a particular problem and help plug the holes.
It really depends what you're doing. The 5W CPU in the Pi is more than adequate for a lot of tasks. Heck, I wrote papers using Libreoffice on the original model Pi.

The Pi4 is powerful enough to run web browsers comfortably, which was a problem on the original Pi. Office programs run no sweat. You can even do light development work.
I run a corporate data science department and my wife has a more respectable job and we still couldn't imagine spending that kind of money on a joke.
> romantic idea of the poor

It is actually quite fun to read Dostoevsky’s Idiot with that in mind that Dostoevsky might have written Prince Myshkin (the Idiot) with Leo Tolstoy in mind. Dostoevsky was very much not a man of means, whereas Tolstoy literally came from a line of nobility. To Dostoevsky, Tolstoy’s talk of the impoverished must have sounded like he had no idea what he was talking about.

That being said, I do think that romanticism of the poor is a really old school mentality, maybe some boomers sometimes still engage in it, but I doubt that you’ll find contemporary leftists engaging in it. Today’s left is much more AOC and Greta Thunberg complaining about how shitty life is for the poor (with a substantial retweet history each backing up poor people calling for it).

I created a remote SaaS business for the online coaching space 5 years ago; they were probably hundreds of JavaScript frameworks at the time and most of them are now deprecated.

It's a shame I decided to carefully digest each piece of content about these technologies: I read HN posts, watched Youtube videos, signed up for Coursera Moocs. I eventually made late and bad decisions on tech decisions and this broke our codebase.

One day I searched on Google something and discovered its Knowledge graph feature which links content together. This inspired me to draw mindmaps and cheatsheets on paper of the technological landscape to get a global grasp of it[0]. Each time I read an article or talk with a dev, I can now make the link with the micro and macro ecosystem.[1]

I refer to these mindmaps daily to learn new things (even beyond tech). To push limits, I make a browser extension to smartly organize all my bookmarks.

[0] You can use this site as a boilerplate for your mindmaps and link your Google Searches and what you read to it: https://roadmap.sh/, they have a Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/theroadmap/videos. You might find Fireship useful too (it popularize many tech topics): https://www.youtube.com/c/AngularFirebase/videos

[1] New tools called "second brains" can be used as supports (Notion, RoamResearch). However I prefer using paper or making my own tool.

Got it, that's interesting - also interesting to see Rappi, which definitely does have more data (for its users at least) on spending habits and earning, even in the informal economy launching a card.

Bash Scripting Help
Hi,
I want to learn bash.
Looking for some instructor guided courses for it, like all the other languages do, just look at python / javascript / java / C there is so much content for these but so less and badly instructed for bash, I have tried tldp and some docs too but just couldn't put myself to it, can't really read and learn much through screen reading.

I know beginners linux bash commands enough to navigate / manage through files but nothing with loops, regex with sed and awk and other stuff one can do to automate with it.

So if anyone can point me to any free ones if possible.

Thanks
