I think part of the issue here is that Swift is radically more difficult to compile compared with other languages. At least the last time I checked, which was several years ago, Swift was using a number of slightly-modified versions of libraries compared to what you would get from a standard package manager, so setting up the environment to compile swiftc on an arbitrary Linux distro was no easy task.
I wasn't aware this was the same person. Thanks.

Ask HN: Can we objectively measure conformism? If so, how? If not, why?
Last summer, I read an essay^1 by Paul Graham called "The Four Quadrants of Conformism". It argued that people's personalities can be categorised on two axes, how conventional- or independent-minded a person is and how passive or aggressive this nature is. The essay also argues that the sizes of these quadrants are unequal size with there being more conventional-minded people than independent-minded people and more people are passive than aggressive in this nature.

While the implications of this are quite interesting on their own, I'd like to know if this idea can be empirically tested. Would it be possible to design a system of measurement for these traits and where a person might fall on these axis? Can we make useful predictions about people's interactions based on where their positions on the axes? What would this measurement entail, would it be based on a questionnaire like other psychological studies or something else?

You still sound as if you are working in the industry. Are you?
If you had ever been there you would know that the residents are left-leaning, forward thinking people who are very proud of those wind turbines.

They are incredibly eco-conscious and would roll their eyes at your statement, invite you in for tea and tell you how proud they are of those turbines.

Esbjerg is one of my favorite places in the world, also the tiny island next to it called Fanø. I’ve been there twice every year for the past 7 years.

I was married there. Almost all of the (Fanø) houses are thatched-roofed hobbit houses, people rarely knock before entering neighbors’ houses and it is super quiet (except for the fog horn).

Esbjerg is a small (70k) person university city, lots of student co-ops, some industry and a strange phenomenon of stolen / discarded bicycles laying on the side of the roads (not downtown, but a km out of the center on the through-roads).

The uni there has great environmental science, chemical engineering, biology, and marine biology (and marine archaeology!) programs.

I couldn’t imagine a place where this is more appropriate.

Why would you do that? I can wear a black shirt without "badness" being implied.
> Sure, the left talks about rhetoric, but it also fights for higher wages, civil liberties, healthcare

problem with this line is that those in power now in America aren't solving any of these issues. they engage in window dressing and have been doing so since at least Clinton. they are left-INO. What US considers center left actually is right. Unless a new progressive party is formed (AOC, Sanders etc) and this party manages then to become a serious contender and accepted in mainstream, US politics will remain what it is: a farce.

Zen meditation seems to be the meditation I have experienced and practised. Both formally and informally. I am unsure this form could lead me to completely fall off the rails, but I also don't think I could sincerely practise it for more than a couple of days (with lots of rest) without just giving up from mental exhaustion. In the same way I wouldn't want to run a marathon tomorrow with no training (even though I have actually run one before).

I suppose were I to subject myself to a week+ of meditation in my current state, I could conceivably "injure" myself if I were stubborn in my persistence. So maybe the warnings in this article aren't so unintuitive after all.

Would love for someone knowledgeable to contrast this form to the other forms mentioned in this thread for someone who is open minded and not a complete outsider.

The idea behind federated networks is to spread power.

If power is truly spread out and people there are as heterogeneous as everywhere else it does mean that there will be instances that do not agree on the process on how to handle things. That is by design.

Long term the only one you as a Mastodon user have to agree with is the administrator of your instance. If you are on a mainstream instance where, let's say, zealots push for an ever smaller overton window and isolate the instance you should, ideally, just switch instances as soon as it starts getting in your way.

It is natural that parts of the network will drift in different directions while they iterate on their understanding on how the instance should be governed.

Truly problematic are not instances deciding to go strict but platform providers trying to pressure their vague and intransparent rules onto the network.

... also the ever present risk of software developers adding their own hierarchy to the system, but that problem is inherent to all shared protocols.

>> Coming to your point, these breaks are caused by being faced with these traumas unprepared or without someone to support you.

Unfortunately that can't be proved. When reading the article I got the impression the woman might have unearthed such a thing. Maybe she had a hidden shame. Someone even asked about it, but she never told what it was. Maybe there wasn't anything to work through and meditation can cause problems. We can never know when the subject is dead. We also cant know if ideas are put in someone's head when they're in such a state.

My point is that to blame hidden trauma is cop out. Blaming the victim. Sure, it's the cause sometimes, but we dont know if it's always the case.

BTW, similar risks exist in psychotherapy, but they too will deny risks and blame patients with "(s)he had issues" when they die.
Opera had no real tabs at that time. It was still MDI with a button-bar for fast access. Was'nt the browser doing this at the time, and it was'nt as good as Mozillas Tab-addon, which later was built into first firefox-versions.

Opera added true tabs some versions later, while still hanging someway on the MDI-tradition.
>"red means stop and green means go, so subconsciously people hate Native Americans".

That's pretty strange reasoning. Unless you mean to imply that "red man" is in common usage for a male Native American?
Money supply and money circulation depend on market activity, you can't keep amount of money constant because there is no perfect competition in which demand and supply are equal.

There is nothing wrong with subsidizing citizens and/or companies but there should be limit because you can end up with inflation where you for example over subsidy citizens and therefore excess of money and demand drives prices of goods and services up.

Reflecting on your example Roman Empire for instance had huge military expenses and they started diluting coins in order to mint more coins but they ended up in inflationary spiral in which coins eventually lost value and their economy collapsed.

Here is chart showing debasement of roman coins:

Demon, also spelled daemon, Classical Greek daimon, in Greek religion, a supernatural power. In Homer the term is used almost interchangeably with theos for a god. The distinction there is that theos emphasizes the personality of the god, and demon his activity.
> Do you know a lot of "left" people who actively speak against the "woke" crowd?

There's a lot of them. But do you really expect them to do it all the time? Disavow every single misinformed but loud person? (Why don't you actively speak against Ted Bundy - are you supporting serial killers?)

For example I can argue with my mom who says she's a feminist because women are better than men. Or I can spend that time preparing a lesson for the local programming club for kids. Why would I choose the first option? Who would benefit?

Disavowing Trump is massively different - a single, elected person with power. Taking that position and bringing it to their local representatives would be worth the effort.
I have a slightly cynical view about this sort of thing, and assume that most might have some counter-arguments for why my cynicism is misguided.

I get that the point of the post is to encourage others, but proclaiming to have "learned how to code" feels misleading because there is no real finish line for it. This is an open-ended skill, there is no such thing as being done with it, same with most other skills. Maybe you can claim that you self-learned how to do a Rubik's cube, but I have been learning how to code for 15 years and with each day I feel like there's so much more that I don't know.
i have this kind of code only difference is it is autogenerated using code templates, changes to templates are done by developers already experienced in the code and bug fixes in actual code are done by junior developers may be this is not handwritten.
What if it was a hike that got less steep toward the top? The lesson you learned would completely fall apart.

I don't think you can apply a blanket logic to this. It's possible for problems to be all over, or clustered near the start or middle or end. It depends on the actual scenario.

It seems quite likely that being pushed out as a child is the biggest problem, and that's not because the kids are peering forward to look at job specifics, it's because of harmful stereotypes about boys vs. girls.
The existing duty not to keep hosting material that you've learned is defamatory

MicroStrategy’s Bad Strategy
Associating the Democrat with "wokeness" is the same as assiociating Republicans with trump supporters and "Storm the Capitol" crowd.

It's an easy way to discredit your political opponent.

Also, i am sightly offended when people call the Democrats "left". I've talked to a real "leftist" (and by that i mean, sightly left on european political board), he felt forced to join the democrat to have a shot at a representative position, and some support for his flyers, but he agreed with my broth: the democrat would be barely center in europe.

And honestly, the far right and the conventionnal right have only themselves to blame for the right of the woke/cancel culture. They are the one who started to open up the overton window, they can't start crying when their politicals opponent do the same.
People don't agree what's being a dick and what's not.
I am not dismissing any claims, but having a >90% party allegiance based on ethnicity is such an extreme situation, that ascribing reversions to one aspect of the left (which, true enough, the right wants to focus on), is just projection and also an exaggeration. I saw a recent interview with David Shor [1], who said that the conservative/progressive split in the US (based on self-identification, IIRC) is about 60/40 across all ethnicities, but that many vote based on reasons other than ideology. But now we're seeing a trend across the board, where people's votes increasingly align more with ideology. So many conservative blacks vote Democrat, and might be shifting away because of a general emphasis on ideology.

> but focusing on it as reasons to "walk away from the left" (which not too many black Americans are doing, BTW)

Wasn’t it black moderates that powered centrist Biden to the nomination? Bernie and Warren’s failure to gain any significant traction with the black electorate sunk their progressive candidacies.

>Should we also stop dressing in black for funerals?

Why would you do that? Wearing black does not imply that a person is bad. "Blacklist/whitelist" implies that whatever is in the list is bad/good.
The thing is that Mastodon and other libre platforms mantra is not to ensure that everyone express themselves, but that everyone can do so.

I am, personally, totally fine with that: I don't wish to have ideas I hold in contempt sneak into my feed. But the key difference with “dictator companies” is that I decide what I don't see and whom I enclose with.
I think "useless" is way too strong here. Swift doesn't have the same community support outside of Apple platforms as something like Rust and Go, but it's a very capable general purpose language with plenty of platform-agnostic packages available if you look for them. Also the C interop is great, so you have access to the last 50 years of prior art.

I think the argument is vastly overstated that Swift is not useful without Apple frameworks. It's similar to C# - you have the language, and then you have Windows APIs. Nobody would argue that C# is "useless" outside of Windows.
Surely the point is that if you cite one person, you can claim anything? Whether that's of the left or the right. You have to look a little closer to see whether that's a common or a fringe view and among what group of people.

While I played this game on an Atari 1024ST which I believe used an EGA like display I remember a (not so) similar graphics quality situation with Space Quest V which I started playing in a CGA monochrome monitor and at some point Roger was supposed to mop a floor with a yellow - if I remember correctly - logo that changed from dark yellow to shiny yellow while cleaning it. I had to buy a EGA color monitor to get through this part of the game as no matter the path I chose, I couldn't really see any changes with the monochrome one in order to complete the task...
I started meditation based on a book about Zen when I was 16. I did it more or less regularly at various phases of my life. At quite a low point in life, meditation was what bootstrapped me out of the quicksand. That was in a group but really loosely organized, basically just a guy teaching people meditation techniques for free. (The more well-known techniques like just sitting there and thinking of nothing can be quite exhausting.) If I hadn't done this, I would be actually lost. Also actually traditional Yoga is to my knowledge in reality meditation. So I'd take such an article with a big grain of salt and compare it with the large number of people practicing it successfully.

That said, a well-known "side-effect" of meditation is some sort of enlightenment that more frequently will be reached with drugs like LSD. But also very monotonous long-term work can do this - at least that's what I've read in that Zen book.
Exactly like any bully. Which is what these people are.
Thank you for the comment, I truly appreciate it! Let me know if you have any questions.
We don’t use sitting for beginners (this is not zen btw) they can lie down. The worst thing that can happen is they fall asleep (which happens on a rare occasion, most stay present through certain cues we use)

So it’s the resulting structure of the wood, not the mycelium itself. Thanks for setting me straight.

It’s a little unclear how, or what types of devices could be powered by this, but they would be very low power. The biggest is mitigation to climate change come from selecting wood as the primary building material, versus steel which produces a lot of greenhouse gas.
OPs point is the app devs are trying to stop you picking your own server by blocking you from logging in to unapproved servers via the app. Instances blocking each other is perfectly understandable.

The problem, as laid out in the article and Willoughby Britton’s work, is that these teachers or guides aren’t trained in psychiatry. Telling somebody who is experiencing psychological distress to meditate through it seems like it can cause harm.
If you want to understand why Biden and Obama are called socialists, I suggest you do some reading of the Anarcho-Capitalist literature (Anatomy of the State is the most obvious) or maybe listen to someone like Peter Schiff.

I don't agree with their philosophy as I believe it to be unrealistic but their criticisms and descriptions of what the state is and isn't is valid and why some call it socialist may make more sense to you. Hans Herman Hoppe (I am sure someone will quote mine him to smear him after I've mentioned him and haven't read any of this books) even called Democracy a soft form of communism.
You're kind of right. A lot of marriages were historically done for reasons other than love. Most women aren't sexually attracted to their husbands but they still needed a provider. Now that women are economic equals to men they have no reason to ever settle for guys they don't like, which is most guys. If you've ever seen a woman use a dating app you know that they're all flooded with dozens of messages from hot guys who would love to have sex with them but would never considering marrying them. So women who don't need to marry average guys are happy to wait their turn for a sexual encounter with a top guy instead of giving a regular guy a chance.

The idea that we have the ability to "push" for what's desirable makes no sense at all and it's not possible.
Mikrotiks are not user friendly though. If you don't know at least a bit of networking it can be difficult to set up.

Same in mine, spammers buy blocks of numbers (for example all numbers from XXXXX100 to XXXXX999) and use them to avoid being blocked by people who block individual phone numbers (with the default phone app). Fortunately I found Yet Another Call Blocker on F-Droid and I can block by pattern with it (XXXXX*) but most less technical people won't be doing that.
