GDPR really should have dictated "agree" and "disagree" be of equal visual weight and button styling and dictated disagreeing to be a 1-click action.
I'm gay and you are deeply transphobic.

It has nothing to do with your sexual preferences. It's because you went onto a message board for trans people to complain about trans people to other trans people.

Then when they refused to put up with your bullshit you tried to spin it into a grand censorship narrative, rather than bog-standard asshole behavior.
Way back, SUSE had something like 90% of the Linux marketshare on IBM mainframes. IBM's initial Linux work on the platform was done in Germany (Bohlingen I believe.) That eroded over time as Linux on the mainframe went more mainstream and Red Hat added similar mainframe support features to what SUSE had.
I like self hosting git but these tutorials set you up with only a one-machine solution. I'd like to be able to self-host a git service that's robust in the face of network/hardware/OS maintenance.

I know git is distributed by design. So if I want to push code to a pair of servers for better availability, I can do it explicitly:

git push <remote1> <branch>
git push <remote2> <branch>

But what if I wanted to make this transparent but still highly available, such that the remote URL in

git push <remote> <branch>

is actually backed by a HA cluster?

Some of the software and ops to make this happen is Github's secret sauce. I'm not looking to compete with them, but would love an open source solution that had a better uptime than a single digital ocean droplet running debian. Ideally, I could get there without green-fielding raft consensus shims into a modified git binary.

My understanding is she feared exactly what happened, a coup, if she spoke out. I'm not saying that is wrong or right but that's the position she was in and the choice she made with, now proven, fears of coup. Did she have a choice? Of course she had a choice but it would appear she saw it as "be morally correct" or "maintain democracy" and decided to go with the latter. I hate to say it but I'm not sure if I would have picked a different course of action given the same choices.
It seems like a very strong stance to say that the publicly advertised leaks and hacks are not financially motivated.

I still run my Carver stereo and Dahlquist speakers all day every day I bought back in 1981 or so. Connected to it is my Technics SLQ2 turntable I bought new in the disco era. But the only time I use that is to rip a vinyl, snap crackle pop and all. The stereo gets its signal from a LAN music server.
Oh, I'm certainly not defending corporate media brands. I have stopped reading the news entirely. In large part I've found that even proper news really isn't as important as it's presented[1]. Even before news media became a nightmare, most national and international news simply isn't relevant to me.

You can still get something a lot like the old, boring news from wire services. When I need it, that's where I go. But it's boring, so I don't keep up with it. Real news at that scale would be expected to be boring.

I should pay more attention to the local news, which has long had the same problem -- the motto was "if it bleeds, it leads". Local violent crime is at least a little relevant. But the important stuff is often even more boring: plans for a new park, a forthcoming road closure, a report from the school principal. Relevant and dull, just what I want.

There's still plenty of room for tribal garbage, but at least it's easier to put into perspective.

[1] I feel weird writing that in a rare period where the news actually contains actionable information -- though that's partly because it happened at a time when the government should have been giving me the information and I should have been able to trust it. But I'm setting aside pandemic as a rare case, hopefully to not be repeated soon.
Its insane the level of generalizations about Indians/Asians that are tolerated in "woke" spaces like this forum. If someone made a similar comment about black people, they would be excoriated (and rightfully so). As an Indian American who lived in SF, this perception of "unwantedness" was pervasive. People aren't outright racist but harbor views that imply that Indians/Asians are not part of the "in" group. We are seen as a monolith rather than as individuals. This hypocrisy really irks me and I will call it out when I see it.

Your rhetoric is not that different from Trump's. I get that there are anxieties about the familiar culture of the place you grew up in changing due to immigration/migration from other parts of the country. However, no place in the history of the world was culturally static.
You might be able to order it, sure. Translating that into magnitudes is entirely subjective.
Bitcoin energy consumption is rising as mining is more competitive and more rewards with rising price. The consumption of bitcoin mining is increasing. Can you stay calm?

I just completed it, and can say with certainty that it is solvable by only taking into consideration two constraints at any given time, with the exception of 3 at just one point early on (and they were the easier constraints in the puzzle). That being said, the nature of regex means you kind of need to jump around as far as which constraints you combine.

It seems to make sense in data-oriented programming. Say you want to create an invoice from a purchase_order or something. They have the same the order number, items, and figures. Just assign one to the other (or use it as a template for construction) to get the common values in, and fill in the rest.

If you're talking about making something that is Linux only, that also would be a no-go for X clients that expect to run on other operating systems. They would still want to maintain the old code path, so it wouldn't help much.

You do have to bring your own multiplexing in the X world if you were implementing an X compositor. Maybe that's unfortunate to you that the focus changed to X compositors, but Wayland didn't change the fact that this work has to be done by some willing party to get that to work.

I wouldn't call myself a "Wayland fan" but what you are saying isn't really a problem, the different window managers can choose to implement it just one way. They don't have to do it N different ways, of course they will do it differently if they have a valid reason to. From an application developer perspective you shouldn't have to deal with this problem, I'm sorry if you are a toolkit developer and this has caused you pain, but in my experience nearly all of the bits that you would need to have to do a native port to Wayland aren't specific to any window manager.

I've thought a lot about what you're saying here, and I see no indication that's the case (corrupt/ulterior financial motivations related to their leaks/hacks). I am very curious how the members of DDoSecrets make their money, though (not that it's any of my business), mostly because the Twitter accounts I've been following seem to have a pretty strong disgust response to the idea of making money off of hacking in general.
Competing theories for where engrams (physical memories) are stored:

- neuronal network / synapses

- microtubule network in inside the neurons

- now RNA recently joined the competition

As microtubules are protein, so made from RNA, this experiment can not exclude microtubules

My guess: everything plays a role: individual neurons encode internally bits of information (like an inode), while the multidimensional network of neurons creates the structure (like the filesystem), while electrical impulses on the network are commands (like software) both made from files, and accessing some other files.

The more advanced animals have more advanced filesystems with partial RAID1 mirroring (experiences removing fully one hemisphere) and caching (we know that's mostly the cerebellum job for movements).

Sleep is both a log replay/filesystem scrub and defrag (committing memories to long term storage if they are frequently accessed)
with the returning clause it should be trivial to do cdc now, no?
My understanding is that a transfer orbit requires two thrusts and otherwise, with only one push, all you've done is make for an eccentric orbit that still intersects your original one.

Again, I'm ignorant of these things but it seems like depending on atmospheric drag to provide for the additional correction is risking a lot.

Now, the official implementation allocates a 2k-byte stack for each new goroutine. The initial stack could be much smaller in theory.

Yes, but I think it depends on the location. At my local grocery store in Chicago, milk has been $2 per gallon ($0.53 per liter) for years, as long as you buy 2 gallons or more. When I was in Florida for a few months, I couldn't find it for less than $3.79 per gallon ($1 per liter) anywhere.

The cheaper milk in the upper midwest tastes better too, as it all comes from Wisconsin and Indiana where the cows can feed on green grass that grows naturally because it gets plenty of rain, etc.

I meant equals having a higher precedence than bitwise AND.

Can you elaborate on the outer-directed vs inner-directed distinction (or link to something else which does, if that would be more convenient)?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "sets its own goals" (for "inner-directed").
I assume you don't mean "modifies its own goals" (as, why would that help further its current goals?), but I'm not sure what it would mean.
Maybe you mean like, if it acquires goals and preferences in the way that humans do, with shifting likes and dislikes that aren't consistent across time? Yes, that would certainly be quite dangerous (unless the AGI was via like, just emulating a human's mind, which might not be so dangerous, in which case only somewhat dangerous).

I believe I see your point in the safety features in having it receive a specific short term task, achieve the task, and then stop. Once it stops, it isn't doing things anymore, and therefore isn't causing more problems. But it seems like it might be difficult to define that precisely? Like, suppose it takes some actions for a period of time, but complicated and anticipated-by-it-but-not-by-us consequences of its actions continue substantially after it has stopped?

With the breach happening in December 2020, and the State Auditors Office being aware of it on January 12th, I am curious to why the announcement page was not published until February 1st with notifications only being sent out now, over a month later. Seems like a rather sluggish response, unless I am misinterpreting the timeline. Is this a new wave of notifications, or they have just now identified the affected individuals?
30% is an arbitrary number, but even at the time where more people in the US were sympathetic to socialism and were ever sympathetic to modern libertarianism, it was violently suppressed by the state, much less "canceled".

As far as how many people were sympathetic to socialism at that point, 15-20% isn't a bad estimate.

But if you want something closer to 30% in the 1950s, how about just being black?

Youtube is "lame as fuck." Release everywhere to not be arbitrarily silenced because anything good is controversial, by definition.

Why abuse the word "counterculture" so many times? It comes across like you're trying too hard.

Not the OP but I'll bite -- I've seen some incredible counterculture emerging out of what I like to term the IRC revival, or Discord communities. Discord and Roblox have fueled the communities creating a ton of the more interesting music I've discovered over the past year.

Meanwhile, real humans - not statistics or "examples" as you put it - need help now.

As for the compounding aspect of charitable work, I guess all I can say there is you should do your own research if you want to realize how wrong you are.

Yet here you are confidently speculating about it all. It's starting to feel a bit Dunning-Kruger if I'm totally honest about it.. perhaps an opportunity for self-reflection?
