Isn't this subject to survivorship bias? If, 1000 years ago some movement was censored by the "good guys", if they've done a half-competent job, would we even Know they tried censoring things in the first place?

Not to mention how the "good guys" are usually just whomever manages to last/survive
Eschewing social media is not a culture in and of itself, anymore than eschewing the telephone or TV is a culture. But it is an attribute that some cultures have. Cultures have to be based around the actual ways they do interact, whether in person meetings via church groups, in person hiking groups, bike riding, falconry, camping, whatever. Similarly many people prefer to use person-to-person communication such as text messages, email, telephone calls, rather than broadcasting an edited version of their own thoughts to the world all the time. To assume that if you are not constantly engaging in this type of one-to-many communication, then you must be absolutely alone is to have serious tunnel vision.
Isn't talking about how good or bad NFTs are in the media a big part of how the market works this stuff out?

Like, some people will go buy an NFT because they read an article saying how they're awesome and the future of artwork or something. Other people won't because they read an article similar to this one, or maybe this tweet thread:

Substitute 'Tim Cook' for 'law enforcement', 'theoretically' for 'warrantless fishing expedition', 'resting bpm' for 'location' & 'known associates' & 'search terms' & 'browser history'.
Like the idea that a homosexual can be attracted to an opposite sexed person, the term “genital preference”, that a gender non-conforming boy might actually be a girl, etc.

Essentially, the idea that a person could be attracted to the body of the sex they aren’t attracted to is the same idea behind conversion therapy. Anecdotally, I’ve spent way too much time trying to change my “genital preference” for me to think it’s true.

You might have some muddled conceptions about what free in "free software" stands for. Spoilers, it's not the cost.
Today Dr. Seuss is hate speech. Tomorrow Dr. Seuss apologia will be hate speech. Even from the perspective that this is progress, it’s very fast progress. Today’s white supremacists are last week’s liberals who didn’t update their opinions fast enough.
I think there will be such a group but you won’t know about them because they won’t be on social media telling people about it. I don’t think their identity will be anti-social media, but an identity to strive for a slower way of life.
> My question was "extremely repetitive" and a "generic ideological place" to the point that it "damaged the forum"?

Statistically, yes. I realize that sounds odd, but the moderation perspective has to look at the site globally.
> And even if you get billed for hundreds of hours of the most premium legal minds thinking about it they can still be wrong.

And that's if you can get said legal minds to take a firm position in the first place, instead of the more usual five - six figure "maybe"
> Why would I care if Tim Cook could theoretically look up my resting bpm?

Because a company can tie the timestamp of your BPM reading to your activity on your phone/desktop/what have you and judge your emotional response to whatever you're doing at the time. Psychotic as this may sound, it opens the door for a lot of particularly Orwellian mass surveillance under the guise of targeted ads. They wouldn't be knowing just what you do or buy, they'd know how you feel about it too.
I'm purely talking about it from the perspective of user value. Whether users are customers or products, what are they getting out of the platform that drives them to use it regularly? Or more generally, what are they getting out of it that they couldn't get on 100 other platforms? Or an RSS feed?

At this point, the answer is just network effect, but that certainly wasn't the case when it was new.
> Well, to be fair the App Store isn’t really a viable solution to these problems to a fair bit of applications.

This used to be true, but every new release adds mechanisms to securely enable more capabilities.

What examples are you thinking of that still can’t be done?

> The sandbox requirement makes a large portion of ‘useful’ apps unable in the App Store.

I don’t think this is true any longer.
gitea is super easy to set up and self-host. It has branch permissions. Relatively straightforward to, e.g., allow devices to push only to their own branch but not allow force pushes that overwrite old commits.

Why is any 1st world government supposed to help other governments spying? If Myanmar want a spy satellite up there, they should do it themselves. Or ask the Chinese. Can't imagine they wouldn't be interested in a launch platform closer to the equator...
We spent moeny to send a lawn dart to Mars because feet/meters were confused by some very smart people with lots and lots of oversight. Mistakes happen. Some are more expensive to learn and more embarassing than others. Malice is not required.

There's a price point here that makes sense, and it isn't $100 + the Pi + the M2 SSD. Anything more than this and you get into the low-end laptop price range with full x64 compatibility and a Windows license.
I am a long-term fan of The Hacker's Choice and van Hauser. I remember reading their mags, war dialing with their thc-scan (written in Pascal IIRC), downloading nasty sound files from their webserver or playing around with their CC number software. I wonder which jobs guys like Doc Holiday, Gemfire, Plasmoid or Wilkins (?) landed. There was great talent in this team.
Glancing at your comment history, I can see that you believe your opinions are edicts and nobody can express differing opinions without you pulling your quasi moralistic hall monitoring trope.

The fact is, tech is now under the influence of the woke mob, and I believe that's objectively bad for tech, the people who work in tech, and the prospect of solving REAL problems with tech.
This indeed is interesting.
But few things I wonder as it mentioned as an alternative to Dropbox/Google Drive.

- partial syncing/online. Is the client(s) capable of having files not on all devices? (Eg. My desktops with 2TB and a laptop with 256gb I'd like to have shallow copies until I need a file).

- mobile apps. Media Auto upload. This is another thing I see still lacking.

Would be great to know if those are coming :)
There's a lot in your comment I can agree with, but it all sounds as if corporate media brands make journalists acquire allegiance to truth while small/personal brands do not. In real world both don't. Such allegiance as well as preference for truth from readers' side is rather rare thing in general, not because everybody's bad, but because group allegiance, and comfortable biases usually trump moral rules. Typical news business model is not about pursuit of truth, or guarding democracy. It's about catering to tastes of a particular audience. And all media - big or small - has a strong incentive to skew things to pleasure their readers (and let's not forget inciting tribal outrage which increases loyalty to a brand). This naturally at times leads to rigid, prominent rejection of truth. And fact-checking observably doesn't stop it - because it's not its function. No difference in this field between big, and personal brands in general.
One big problem with decentralized platforms is that, while technologically and conceptually fascinating, they offer a complex and not average-user-friendly UX.

Users are so inured by the down-to-earth, nanny-ready, repetitive and instant-gratification driven UIs of mainstream platforms that many of them have a hard time just understanding where to start with the decentralized ones.
I'm not talking about engineering complexity, I'm just talking about user value and user experience. I'm sure that scaling a calendar tool to a billion people is non-trivial too.
All crypto payments are digital, but not all digital payments are crypto
It seems like Linux desktop is more popular and close to legit than ever.

I think the gaming -> PC building pipeline is getting people educated and interested in the nitty gritty of their home computers, plus there are more people exposed to Linux now than ever just through a giant and growing industry of software devs.
> angling to replace Xorg

The Xrandr extension enabling all this functionality is defacto part of the X11 protocol for a long time and not just "Xorg".

> Xorg could have just added Wayland support

You already can run any Wayland client in Xorg with a simple Weston wrapper script. However since X11 supports DRI3 which is as efficient as Wayland will ever be it is completely pointless.

> To me this is a good thing

Speak for yourself. For me standardization is a good thing. The "Desktop" is essentially a solved problem. There is no reason to invent a new incompatible standard every week. What is happening here is the opposite of standardization.
Vintage technology is often far more repairable than modern. My turntable and all the equipment I use with it included schematics and booklets with information about how they operate. Even cars used to be like this, but that has mostly been lost in the interest of operational simplicity.

Almost all of my old household appliances included schematics, but new stuff only includes operational instructions. It makes me sad we have lost this culture of tinkering.

Law is not like code but the GDPR is so vague and open to interpretation that it gives almost no real guidance and instead puts you at the whims of whatever the current enforcer thinks.
When did Dr. Seuss become hate speech? Last I checked, my extended family still reads Dr. Seuss books with their small children.

Yes, Seuss's family pulled a few books from production but I don't recall anyone decrying them.
Security incident compromised Washingtonians’ personal information
The stats show the police, black or white, are about equally likely to use excessive force against black or white people _per incident_. The problem is that they make contact with black people far more often per-capita. Some of this is being more suspicious of black people, of looking harder at them to find something. This is most convincingly seen with the drug war, where uses of drugs are about equal by race, but black people are stopped, searched, and arrested significantly more often. Some is a larger pre-existing societal problem of where people live. When black people are more likely to live in bad neighborhoods, and police are more likely to have encounters in bad neighborhoods...
As someone who is not professional in graphics but need to do some vector graphics for professional work, I like Affinity Designer very much. Once it clicks, it’s actually easy to use and quite productive.

That said, its probably not a marketable skill by itself as most places would look for the “Adobe Illustrator” keyword.
If the lognormal distribution is correct, the 95% confidence interval is a bit over 5 times the developer's gut-feeling estimate. The 99% confidence interval is 10 times the developer's gut-feel estimate. We found a lot of data to back this up, but your mileage may vary.

I reading an article recently that if Microsoft really wanted to make Windows on ARM64 take off they should sell a "developer machine" like a Raspberry Pi 4 with Windows ARM64 preinstalled for $199. If such a machine had an M.2 drive as an option (microSD or eMMC default) I suspect it would be a huge hit.
Not meaningfully. If I let people spit in my mouth for money I still have every right to say "no, not you" because having their spit in my mouth platform affects me emotionally. If people start to assume that my mouth is a free-for-all, those people can fuck all the way off, yeah?
It’s really hard to see an MP3 player from 2010 as “vintage technology in use” when there are PDP-11s still in use in nuclear power plants. Hell, I seem to recall there’s some plumbing company in the US that still uses a 1940s IBM electromechanical tabulator for their accounts.
We're doing two doses! Just with a larger gap in between. Yes, the data is patchy but so far it's coming back as approx 75% protection from one dose, and identical (or even slightly boosted) protection after the delayed second dose compared to the shorter schedule.

I trust "the math" that shows a better population outcome there, even though individuals will have higher risk profiles this way.
I thought it was a bit harsh to not include Spain in "The West", but I think you'd be splitting genetic hairs if you wanted to consider the average Spaniard a different "race" to someone like Yegge.

I also think your claim is not substantiated.

Also too add my own anecdata, this "cheat if you can - screw over the man" is a huge part of Spanish culture. That's not to say it's how everyone thinks, but every institution tries to check you're not cheating them, and of course still gets cheated.

I'll add that Discord does not support right-to-read. They will occasionally remove a server and ban everyone who had access to that server, regardless of whether or not they had posted or participated in that server or contacted any members of that server. They view the act of reading the server posts as a bannable offense.

In your original comment, and to a lesser extent here, you seem to be saying that counterculture necessarily has negative connotations.

I listed some counterexamples in another comment, but take "bronies" for another. Does the notion (grown men obsessing over a kids show) make people uncomfortable? Yeah, kinda... but is that because dominant culture says only girls should like ponies? Or is it because we assume men who like stuff meant for kids are pedophiles? I find both of those viewpoints to be intolerant of diverse expressions of masculinity.

Many countercultures are pretty much neutral (LARPing, for example -- which offends only the most religious and closed-minded). But, like the bronies, they make space for folks who fall outside social norms in harmless ways. They make space for diversity of thought and expression -- that is generally seen as a positive thing.

Contrast to the rally in Charlottesville, where self-described nazis showed in force. Sure, folks who desire a white ethnostate tick the "diversity of thought and expression" box at a surface level (it certainly is different), but their stated desire is to eradicate (or evict) all other such diversity. So I don't see that particular counterculture as a positive thing.
I had a similar upbringing, but in Canada. A lot of this rings true.

Our family doesn't farm anymore,but for different reasons. Still, the pressure to go big or go home exists north of the border, too.

I think Adam Smith nailed it back in the 1700s, when he noted that farmers could not take advantage of specialization. They're capitalists and labourers and landlords and semi-professional veterinarians and commodity traders all in one. Without specialization, they're unlikely to ever be very wealthy relative to the amount of labor and capital they input.

The bigger farms can actually hire dedicated mechanics and accountants and such, so it's no surprise they get a better return on investment. That would probably remain true even if they didn't engage in shenanigans like undocumented laborers and excessive pollution, though no doubt those practices help them pull even further ahead.

On a different note, since supply management was mentioned, I can't resist linking to this program: https://youtu.be/3d-FlQHoHpU

Short argument against supply management: it's a regressive tax on people who buy milk, cheese, butter and yogurt.

Extremism has no natural quantification. This statement is nonsense.
A borked bit of code sent the Hubble Space Telescope into safe mode
I agree wholeheartedly, but a small correction: those chips are available now if you're very very lucky. For example, the latest ROG Zephyrus is available from my neighborhood Best Buy. The M1 has been readily available for months, and we'll probably see Apple's new pro chips by the time AMD's supply chain issues are sorted.

All I can say to that is I can't predict the future, so I choose to act today. The "ones suffering in 50 years" are theoretical, the ones suffering today are real people.

Also, perhaps the people I help today will go on to ensure that we don't need to help as many people in 50 years.

As others have said, and perhaps in terms that will resonate with you, investing today provides compounding returns in the future.

And that applies to aid just as much as it does to money.

Let's take your example to a bit of an extreme, for argument's sake:

I make regular charitable donations, and plan to continue to do so for X years (X being decades), therefore helping any number of people for those X years, potentially saving many lives.

I am now standing in front of a burning building, and I see a person through the window unconscious on the floor.

I can:

(A) Put my life potentially at risk and go into the burning building to drag that one person out and save their life. If I die while trying to save that person, then that means my charitable giving stops.

Or I can (B) definitely not risk my life to save that person, therefore guaranteeing - at least for now - that I can continue to make charitable donations into the future, possibly saving a much larger number of lives.

If you take a detached/theoretical view of this situation, then (B) seems like the better choice in the long run. I will benefit more people.

But it also means I make the choice to stand there and watch that real person die when I could have done something about it.

And I wouldn't be able to do that.
I think all of us who yearn to master a foreign language felt that way at some point. When some concepts seem to fly above your head, you gain new appreciation for the natives who can just juggle with all of that intuitively.

One thing to always keep in mind is that there's no trick really, learning languages is not about being smart or being super good at anything, just having enough discipline and dedication to keep working at it until it starts making sense.

Thank you for your kind words and bonne chance à toi aussi !

How to speed up rustdoc in 2021
I was going to say, I've got my got server on my NAS, which is itself on a ZFS filesystem, through which snapshots provide immutable backups;

But considering the case of a malicious got contributer, access to any of my devices and ssh keys is already a wayyy bigger issue to begin with, and likely entails restoring the rest of the system to a known-secure state due the sheer number of files an intruder could have tampered with outside of version-controlled directories.
I agree, but at the moment, it seems that same desire to protect them results in preferring a policy that drives prices ever upward. This would be a less destructive compromise.
A culture doesn't require that people meet up and agree on some way of doing things. Hence a counterculture does not need to be organized or even acknowledged while in process. It just happens and then gets written about a decade later.
Goroutines are not significantly lighter than threads
Absolutely! Both items actually have come up during our alpha and we're going to add them. Roadmap is not up-to-date but we have started collecting feedback and feature requests here: https://github.com/diodechain/diode_drive_feedback/issues
I keep coming back to whether people in general still think open mindedness is a virtue. By open mindedness, I mean open to new experience, open to new ideas, open to new people. Practicing openness means observing and hearing and then evaluating for yourself whether you want to assimilate the experience or idea into your life.

Open mindedness also means being open to new information, even if it contradicts a basis for what you already believe or practice. If we are not open to contradiction, we can never recognize when we are wrong about what we believe. Being wrong about what we believe leads to doom for societies.

Hate is expressed in many ways, some nuanced, some not. But I have confidence that I can witness it, identify it, and categorize for myself. Allowing others to control what I am exposed to means I am no longer in control of what I know and believe. We've seen this creeping definition of hate over the last so many years. It's modulated to the point that I don't know what people mean any longer when they claim 'racism' for example, yet they prevent me from seeing or reading examples, even so I can just identify it and judge for myself.

Freedom means determining for yourself what is and is not hate. Having it hidden from you takes that freedom away.

It is our responsibility as free persons to learn how to observe and judge what should and should not be part of our lives. Collectively, we will keep hate at bay simply by recognizing it for ourselves and not assimilating it into our lives.
It seems somewhat counter-cultural to not have social media and tv, though rejecting those things doesn't define a culture. I've had visitors to my house that realize I don't have a TV and they assume I'm some kind of judgemental weirdo.

It gives plenty of guidance and the 'enforcer', if one ever appears (vanishingly unlikely) is bound to be collaborative rather than adversarial, at least in the early stages.

I believe the "Don't mess with Texas" advertising campaign was actually significantly more helpful than the ticket cost. If you think about it, people usually only know about the cost if they get fined but people know that it is frowned upon to litter through an advertising campaign.

After all, the people in and around your car can judge and shame you while you can only get a ticket if there's a cop around.
Many are saying how they won’t pay for a subscription themselves if Netflix does this, but this move can be worth it even if the vast majority of freeloaders don’t sign up for new accounts. It seems like an obvious win to me bc the cancellation rate of the actual paying accounts will be small and less than the accretive freeloader signups.
