How about in the last 100 years then?

In the 50's-70's, the US tried it's hardest to censor/hide/destroy Marxism, it's ideals, and derivatives (Socialism) - yet it still exists today.

You cannot disappear ideas by silencing the individuals that believe them. Instead of trying to hide them away, the ideas need to be exposed publicly and discussed openly. If one side truly is righteous, it will prevail through open discussion and logic.

Just like in the 50's - what we have today is a weaponized notion of censorship to destroy our political enemies and those who do not think the same way we do. That's certainly not what "Good Guys" do.
Lol post above is 3 minutes old, account is 4 minutes old? Diode Drive is that you?
So many of these start or end with an `x*`, `(x|y)`, `[xy]` or `[^xy]` that I only see two characters I can fill in before I need to start looking at multiple constraints for the same cell and either doing combinatorics or guess-and-check.

This might be fine for hard mode, but as someone who considers themselves a regexpert it's not very approachable as a first puzzle IMO.

A more gradual introduction to the format would be to give a few clues that give you confidence on specific characters, that then let you lock in some other characters in other hints, and so on.

For instance, replacing `.*H.*V.*G.*` with `.{3}H.*V.*G.*` would go a long way because you could confidently place an `H`. And say that intersected with `(DI|NS|TH|OM)*` on the `H`, you could then place a `T` from the second clue because of what you learned from the first clue.

It could just be that I'm missing something or not as good at regex as I thought, and please let me know if that's the case. Either way though, when I'm trying a new kind of puzzle I'd like to feel like I made some sort of progress after trying for 5-10 minutes, and here 2 chars does not feel like progress.
So is HN and any other platform with where upvote/downvote is the primary factor in the algorithm.
> The "ones suffering in 50 years" are theoretical, the ones suffering today are real people.

Not sure what you mean by this. Are you actually suggesting that you think nobody will be in need or crisis in 50 years? What exactly is theoretical about that? I would say compounding from helping someone today is theoretical: it takes no effort at all to find examples of someone being helped just to throw it away, self-sabotage, refuse to participate. If you like charity just for the idea of helping, then I can understand that. But the claim that aid will always be effective, let alone compound, is imo much more of a stretch than claiming that there will still be people needing help in 50 or 100 years (I'd wager for as long as humans exist)
xz doesn't have BCJ2 (though it does have an earlier BCJ filter), which allows for somewhat better compression of exes. BCJ2 produces separate streams which independently compress better. See for instance https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1514357, saves almost 10% on a Firefox installer (which uses 7-Zip) vs the complete update .mar file (which uses xz/liblzma).
When I see truth being downvoted I try to upvote, hn would be a better place if people learned to upvote, the high karma downers are really toxic.

Why your email marketing isn’t converting and how to go about it
I fully agree there exist problem with the ecological branding, and with eggs in particularly the standard is a bit shoehorned. In eu, ecological egg is mostly about how many chicken live per m^2, which is non-obvious by the name.

For non-ecological egg in EU, the minimum standard is 16 hens in the small space of 6 cm^2 minimum per hen and cage. That to me is animal cruelty. Ecological egg has a minimum requirement of 6 hens per m^2 when inside, no battery cages, access to daylight 24/7 and outside access for half the year and then with 4m^2 per hen.

There is also addition requirements for the feed but it feels so much less important than simply not having a cage where each hen has 6cm to stand on.
Same words were said in the 70s and 80s of non-christian/conservatives. They were absolutely adamant about their "norms" as the standard.

Think about it like this new energy capacity is added that is sustainable but the cryptocurrency mining part of grid keeps consuming and eating more of the grid then newly added renewable capacity it would be a wash and we wouldn't achieve sustainability commitments and be able to mitigate climate change. You can't just say well if Bitcoin mining is renewable then we are ok. What about the rest of the grid? They need some of the newly added renewable capacity as well as growth continues. TLDR if new renewable capacity added is less than growth of mining and current use of mining we get no where.

> Someone once claimed that the reason soccer is not big in the US is that we can't get excited about any sport where a team can legitimately be said to have built an insurmountable 1-0 lead.

This doesn't apply to soccer at all though. Even a 2-0 lead is often list in a few minutes. What makes soccer exciting isn't the scoring, but that you are always just second away from a goal that could change the game. That's why you'll hardly ever see in soccer that the audience leaves the stadium before the end of the game like you are in baseball all the time.
Mostly firebase, used django in the past but leaning towards flask lately (mostly because it's fast to put it on app engine).

Can you share your reasoning behind this statement? I don't find it remotely tough. If anything, it seems like the most sensible default position.

"Is there a rock-solid git server that I can use on a home server for versioned immutable backups ..."

A few things ...

First, 'git' is built into the rsync.net platform and you can do anything you like with it, remotely, over ssh:

ssh user@rsync.net "git clone git://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.git freebsd"

I personally track a number of repos I consider important and keep my own source trees up to date without running git locally.

Second, the ZFS snapshots that are taken, nightly, of your entire rsync.net account are immutable (read-only) so if you clone/update your git repos into your account, they are protected from ransomeware/mallory.

Third, we finally have LFS / git-lfs support which pleases me greatly.
> giving now creates a habit of giving, and removes the temptation to spend savings which were originally intended to be donations.

I've donated money, it didn't become a habit

> The biggest drawback is that you may have the intention of giving money in the future, but you end up never doing it. Unless you put it into some guaranteed-for-charity vehicle like a Donor Advised Fund.

This is a personal point whereas I was coming at it from just a numerical point.

> Unless you put it into some guaranteed-for-charity vehicle like a Donor Advised Fund.

Not familiar with this, but if it's a way to invest money while forcing the money to only be used for charity, then yes I'd consider that the optimal choice for anyone who for some reason is charitable but wouldn't want to give charity down the road
Can you please recommend a good alternative?
I think that FSM does satisfy your stricter definition of counterculture. Like the Church of Satan, one of the stated goals is to force legal examination of whether or not "freedom of religion" actually means "freedom to practice Christianity".

LARPing and kink also have some opposition by fairly mainstream religious-types. They're seen as counterculture, even if they don't define themselves that way. Sorry. Changing my mind on kink -- that's a really big umbrella. Some people get off on being shamed for whatever it is they're into. Those folk are only satisfied when seen as counterculture.
Nothing validates ones views more than a circle of like minded curmudgeons judging everybody else.

I already made that mistake.

My ATX apartment complex downtown is full of introverted, fearful-avoidant, superficial, dishonest, littering, smoking, experience-devoid, ignorant/uneducated, maskless, yuppies / salespeople / "pretty people." There are a few, token chip-on-their-shoulder, elitist SJWs who believe they're entitled and special too, but they're mostly harmless. It's the general uncoolness that reeks from the tops of the buildings down to the sewers and below. Or it's the dribbles, puddles, and lines of puppy piss from the idiots who don't clean up after their shitting and peeing monsters that they let loose on the hallways rather than take the cookie-cutter mongrels out at regular intervals. It could be the stolen Whole Food carts that clog the hallways, but I don't think they smell that bad, although it does make the place look like a Section 8 flophouse.

The only legit cool people, sorry, person, I've met is a teenager brother from the top floor from the other side of the building. Everyone else is just worthless: immediate upstairs neighbor is an absolute sniveling, spineless, sociopathic, control-freak cretin.. complaining about my music in the middle of the damn day on the weekend, I just turned and shut the door in his stupid face, and cranked it louder.

I would like to move somewhere else ASAP. San Marcos looks cool but I don't exactly call it intellectual.

I prefer somewhere intellectual, socialist, cheaper, and cool, without as much squareness, anti-intellectualism, or academia. Colorado Springs, possibly, but it didn't have time to investigate it thoroughly. I only pray to the various gods that uncool people become flammable so that a lighter can let their god sort them out in heaven, way the fuck away from me.

Santa Fe is chill but not exactly inexpensive or intellectual.

> To be intolerant against intolerance is at the heart of any stable, decent, livable society.

I agree; in the name of preserving social order, SJWs should all be thrown in jails.

Just kidding... but that's what the article is talking about. You can make strict laws (or social norms) against "intolerance", and someone else will be happy you handed them a powerful weapon they can use against you.

Do your political opponents seem intolerant to you? Let me tell you a secret: the feeling is probably mutual. You prefer to focus on those parts where they are less tolerant than you, and ignore the ones where it is the other way round. They do the same.
Take it a step further maybe. Why have the user set up updating at all? Suppose they've downloaded an app form the developer's website and installed it. When the app first runs, it calls a special API in the OS to register its "update feed" URL that provides the update info in a predefined format. The rest is then managed by the OS itself. It refetches these URLs as needed, shows notifications, installs updates, and, most importantly, provides the user with a central place somewhere in the settings to control all this.

I don't know much about the money/license part UX because I've never paid for software myself. But developers probably won't want to delegate licensing to the OS because this would make it all too easy to crack — it would only take one very simple patch to disable license checks altogether system-wide.

edit: Sparkle already uses a standardized feed format (https://sparkle-project.org/documentation/publishing/). So basically the only thing that's left is to move the update checking and installation logic to the OS as opposed to every app containing a copy of it.
Not really, shared functionality there is in the core wayland protocol and in the standard set of wayland extensions, or in some other standard dbus interface. (generic ones usually go in the org.freedesktop namespace) If you depend on GNOME-specific or KDE-specific APIs then yes, you would have to deal with those being unsupported outside. Not much has changed there.
But as alt point of view. Recently, it is better to pay attention to bitcoin, it has already made a lot of people rich and even Elon Musk bought himself most of them! But still, trading is not an easy task and a beginner will sooner be left with nothing. But in order to avoid unpleasant situations, it is better to pay attention to top traders! For example, I found where to invest here https://safetrading.today/traders/free/ everyone should try this!
In addition, in my experience I’ve found the discussion to be centered around the freedom to express one’s self, but free speech is also very much about the freedom of the recipient to seek out and listen to whatever speech they want.

You are doing an awful lot of generalizing from your own experiences. I have met a LOT of conservative managers and business owners, including more than a couple openly sexist and racist ones, who are doing just fine for themselves in life. The idea that conservatives are some sort of tiny suppressed minority is bonkers.
There isn't a single widely-held opinion that did not begin as an extremist opinion.

I don't own a TV and most people here don't seem to know how to react to this information. Often they don't seem to have considered the possibility that someone wouldn't own one. I haven't watched television for entertainment in a decade or so, so I only get references which I absorb through YouTube, Twitch. I wouldn't think of myself countercultural, but it shows just how conforming many people are without realizing.

Can a Computer Run on RAM?
It's almost never a IO bottleneck, the amount of code is too small for it to be IO.

8 seconds x 1 million compiles = 92 days!

When you code action games you want to iterate quickly to make the controls and physics as good as possible.

I made a .dll/.so hot-deploy system to be able to work effectively, so I can hot-deploy the game in <1 second on the Raspberry but then on the PC I do it in 100 microseconds!
> why does the bitwise AND have higher precedence than logical AND?

Why is this precedence weird? Bitwise AND tends to be used to transform data while a logical AND tends to be used for control flow.
As interesting as this situation is it also looks inconsequential. No one from burmese side has voiced anything (yet). Considering the political situation on the ground and how japan can't contact the burmese liaison it seems like this is just an (expensive) limbo situation.

Are you arguing that the expanding menace culture must be young because such cultures wouldn't last long because of conflict? I think a lot depends on how densely populated the universe is. At a limit imagine one long lived intelligence per galaxy. You could have a poisonous disease the size of a galaxy 10 million years old sending out spores to poison adjacent galaxies. Maybe we are even the present genesis of this.

As you adjust down you could trivially and likely have tens of light years between cultures or even hundreds on average if intelligent cultures are short lived or particularly rare. Expanding menaces could be automated and self replicating and designed to create an expanding zone of safety for an old stable society in a way that isn't easily traceable to the old stable society.
I found my analog oscilloscope at a pawn shop for $40.
It may not work in Firefox due to the restricted resolution of performance.now() there; per the demo page, that is 5μs in desktop Chrome - Firefox meanwhile rounds to the nearest millisecond, per https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Performance....

That said, the demo also mentions a paper [1] on high-resolution timing channels available in Javascript without needing to rely on the performance API. I don't know how well a Spectre attack relying on such a timing method would fare in any browser.

Looking at that paper's abstract and code samples, I think most if not all of the timing channels it describes rely entirely on tight loops, so one or more of them being attempted would explain the high CPU usage you noticed.

It would be like trying to catch a hypervelocity meteor with a net. It would go right through any kind of reasonable(or even extreme) net material.

Keep in mind that when the atmosphere is used to "catch" a returning spacecraft, it takes several minutes of sustained deceleration over thousands of miles, and in the process the craft gets extremely hot due to compressive heating and friction with air.

When you have satellites on different orbital planes, it can be twice as hard due to relative velocities.
I actually got the feel, now when I think of it I couldn't see the puck flying during the shots. I guess it had something to do with my love for soccer where I can see it curling into top corner. While I appreciated the art of doing the same in hockey, I believe I felt like I couldn't take part of the enjoyment of seeing it flying into the net.
This was my first thought too. :/
Don't be pedantic. It's /exactly/ about KYC. The spirit of preventing unregistered futures and swaps being "merely" inaccessible by US residents is to /prevent/ money laundering. That's the whole point of registering.

Binance has a history of lax KYC [1]. For a global exchange to not risk blowing up means to gain affirmative proof of a user's legal identity, jurisdiction, tax residence. If you try and use an IP ban to loophole around having to add a robust KYC flow into your product, don't be surprised when a major governmental authority (and the general public) remain generally unconvinced that you did your best to be above ground.

All trash (food wrappers, paper, packaging, some medical waste I presume, old experiment gear, etc), and dehydrated sewage, currently only leaves the space station via visiting vessels. It requires an astronaut's time to pack trash, disconnect and seal dehydrated sewage containers, and load them into a visiting spacecraft prior to departure.

Imagine having trash and sewage picked up only twice a month or once a month. That's about how often new vehicles visit the space station.

Some uncrewed vehicles (Russia's Roscosmos Progress vehicle, Japan's JAXA HTV, USA's Northrop Grumman Cygnus) are designed to burn up on reentry. SpaceX Dragon is designed to make it to the ground and thus would need to be unpacked after splashdown.
