I recently saw a video of Paul Stamets talking about mushrooms and how they increase connections in the brain. I think I remember hearing the term myelination thrown in there somewhere. Granted I don't know enough about him to say that hes a credible source.

But, it would be a good place to start (research). Its a shame that the science community seems to steer clear of certain topics entirely.

The sad thing is it’s not corporate generosity coming up with these initiatives, they are pushing them because it’s a PR benefit.

Changing the name of something or issuing a press release costs absolutely nothing. When you actually dig into the issue you find corporations have no problem with racist practices if changing them would be expensive or challenging. Running background checks on employees and not disclosing what they will discriminate on, acting like meritocracy is anything more than a fiction, the incredible bias towards hiring from places their friends worked at, etc. And most of big tech are falling over themselves to take contracts from oppressive governments and institutions.

I have to laugh a little when Amazon or Microsoft takes a stand against racism but does business in China, possibly one of the most racist, and human rights abusing government on Earth. Turns out the only thing these companies won’t discriminate against is cold hard cash.
I'm also a younger hacker and I have the same issue. I've found 0x00sec.org is alright, and security CTF forums can be decent, but there's an awful lot of people just looking for easy answers and aren't interested in learning or sharing knowledge.
Just look at the people on the routing list!

It was my honor to have met several of these people in sometimes odd circumstances.
I bet the von Neumann architecture is up there for many of us here, although it seems so simple once you have grasped it.
Not sure about your ISP, but CenturyLink for me seems to have something against 1.1.1.1, but not 1.0.0.1 though.
Well I'm glad they resolved it so fast. That's excellent.
Assuming branch names don't change on a package you don't control seems like the real issue?
>All of this should end up being a temporary program since you will eventually run out of cattle to subsidize when you reach the point where all calves are vaccinated at birth. Preventing this from birth eliminates the need for the milk subsidy and for the abortion subsidy so if you can get strong buy-in from the cattle owners it may be possible to eliminate this problem quickly.

I'm not sure about a program being temporary.

The article describes even efforts in the west as an ongoing effort. They're more successful... but they're still actively having to address the problem, and thus haven't simply solved it via a big effort.

Not to say the west couldn't be doing better / missing something, but it seems like this is an issue that isn't so much something you can swoop in and solve and just vaccinate after that.
Yes. Just think of it as a formalism - it's the currently culturally accepted term if that's the group you're trying to reference.

Lots of languages have a fuzzy formal/casual split where usage is both context-based and a matter of respect, though I think the US is more unique in (1) the degree of energy focused towards coming up with formal names for demographic groups and (2) making them out of words that are also used casually.
For most Americans, until very recently, it only had an association with slavery in very specific contexts. Virtually nobody heard phrases like "git push origin master" or "I'm working towards my Master's degree" and thought "slavery." The blanket association is a product of very recent political activism.
Being a product person doesn't mean being focused on building. A product person is actually the one focused on talking to people how solve their problems into a product.
This is how it should work. But I don't think any popular system implements this.
Zarf has some great games and is one of the top people doing modern IF. If you think these games are just modern versions of Zork, you're selling the industry massively short. The modern parsers they've made (Ex: Inform7) are amazing and allow for incredibly detailed conversations and puzzle solving.
Big sticking point for me is I'm doing development targeting Linux. As much as I feel *BSD is superior, I need the right tools to do my job.
Because every time I have to stop to write main instead of master, I become less racist?
My father reported a similar story induced by LSD. He had an out of body experience where he was up in the air watching himself have a conversation with a friend walking down the beach.
Parent's point was that starting your prompt with `:` isn't a guarantee that everything that follows is safe (to expand on the "without redirection characters" remark by the OP).
It's virtue-signaling nonsense like planting a tree, declaring climate change "mission accomplished" and calling it a day.

If software engineers actually cared about diversity, they'd work with community leaders on the rough side of town to mentor kids who otherwise don't get all the chances they did. I seriously doubt many would do that. I hate to say it, but a lot of office tech people don't have a lot of life experience. And maybe as a consequence, they tend to act like stereotypical self-absorbed yuppies who don't engage with the world or donate emotional labor. It's easier to outlaw certain words because of incidental associations rather than help real people.
When I started learning C as a teen, I somehow got really stuck trying to understand pointers. That's one of the few things I now I feel I understand, but I can also still to a degree recall how it felt not to understand it.
>Upstream agreements already block Mobile carriers.
Further, SMS from Short Codes are blocked by default. You can only receive SMS from long-numbers. Eg Wicker .

I've built a very similar product to ZipWhip. These restrictions are likely enforced by ZipWhip, there is nothing structural at the NetNumber or other level that technically prevents you from taking over SMS message routing or receiving messages from short codes on mobile numbers. Submit the SPID change to NetNumber and you're off and running!

The secujrity

It is worth noting that the mobile carriers will periodically "reset" these changes to fix the routing (T-Mobile is one of the more aggressive ones here) and that continued violations by MVNOs like Sakari would eventually result in a loss of access for them.

In Sakari's case, they were doing no due diligence or much to prevent the fraud. My own company's workflow for landlines placed a telephone call to the customer's number to give them a code to use in the registration process (remember, the attack noted in the article doesn't port the number, it just reroutes SMS). For toll-free numbers, we required legal documentation to prove that you owned the number. We also didn't allow any mobile numbers to be registered at any time.
But that's irrelevant to what the person I was replying to said. They made a statement indicting BLM not githubs actions.

Good managers should abhor pointless meetings as much as anyone else - their task is to make useful meetings. Anything else is just a waste of time and wasting everyone’s time is not exactly the hallmark of a good manager. Now, there’s people that hate all meetings and regard them all as a waste of time and if you’re one of those, you’ll never acquire the skill to actually make meetings useful - this is a skill which needs training like any other skill does.
Dendron's main difference from obsidian is that we put the emphasis on structuring and organizing your notes.

Obsidian (and other tools like it) focus on backlinks and using a graph to connect your ideas. This is valuable for connecting disparate ideas but its still hard to find any individual note once you have a lot of them.

Dendron helps you organize your notes into hierarchies that you can enforce using schemas (think type system but for your hierarchies)

The problem we're solving: once you have hundreds or thousands of notes, how do you find a specific one?

I would actually love to hear/read about this more, especially the part where you compare others' misconceptions with what you think differently. I've been interested in how people get the "wrong" idea for a very long time and I like getting feedback from others on this matter.
When you consider SMS 2FA is often used to fix the poor or reused password problem we see it's not helping much at all but only delaying the problem.
Good call: Obra Dinn -- a game that fascinates me -- definitely captures the old Mac aesthetic. Intentionally, of course.
Knowing how to split the problem space in debugging.

Something is going wrong. Where is it going wrong? Could be anywhere. Well, not anywhere - it has to be either A, B, or C. How can we get more information? OK, we put logging in here and here, and run this test, and we find out that it's in B. Now, how could it go wrong in B?

And so on until you understand what's really causing the problem.

*with anti-Trump propaganda it's hardly surprising. He was slandered as 'racist' pretty much non-stop for the entire duration of his term.
Flop on the field all you want, no one called you racist. Your insistence that foreigners can't continue to identify with their own culture while also embracing a new one is aptly described as xenophobia. If you want to have a sensible discussion, lets start by engaging with what is actually said instead of what we wish was said.
Oh absolutely.

This is something I chew over all the time. How can we have a large corporation dealing with the number of users that Amazon/Google/etc are dealing with, as well as the number of malicious parties trying to break them without resorting to either systems that create excessive false negatives and provide little to no appeals process of any use, and without having a massive overhead cost for handling the appeals in a judicially reasonable way.

Everytime I work on it, it turns into that it requires more people who are properly trained in almost legal theory, and then you end up quickly with the same problem that many policing and court systems have which is very quickly individuals with an axe to grind work to achieve regulatory capture.
What do you make of his accent?
Sister in law had a ~’04 Jetta. Mechanically it was sound, but it did have a continuous stream of electrical problems. My nephew had an ‘09 CC that blew a fuel pump and then blew up an engine. Nice car otherwise.
Yeah there's a suite of things that can come out of this (I think) as it's more commoditized.

For me though the biggest part is the Security Vulnerability-->money pipeline.

We know there are a load of vulnerabilities in software and bad configurations out there, what was lacking for attackers was a reliable way to turn that into money that they could get access to relatively untraceably, now they have that with a combination of ransomware and coins like Monero.

It's like in traditional fraud, the thing stopping it happening more wasn't so much people's great controls, it was the difficulty for the fraudsters in moving the money into a part of the banking system that was less traceable (like cash).
Linode says its AMD hardware beats Intel's
I built a similar tool but as a new-tab extension, basically dumps all my notes into Sqlite, simple PHP script for "sync". Just recently got the web-share-targrt on Android working so I can drop Trello.

And I built the silly "discovery" feature where it randomly pushes an old one to the top to help keep it clean.

Also, Sqlite text search FTS5 is rad
Problem with all alternative firmwares is that you don't know whether your relatively new product will be supported or not. Sometimes it's matter of product revision.
All these aren't requirements for app functionality AFAIK. If any app needs a certain permission you should get a prompt to accept or deny any of them individually. If denying permissions isn't possible on nougat (don't know if this is a relevant problem, I think old android had something of the sort) maybe you should look into upgrading your device.
I'm going to guess the Samsung one.
Reason is something God creates. You eat because if you didn't you will die. The designer created that reason through the design. So it is not logical to ask about the reason that made God create the world.

So the meaning of life depends on why God takes actions, and we will never understand that.

I don't think it is very complex concept.

- I believe in a designer obviously. I totally understand if you didn't.
I only owned PC clones. I discovered the Tandy in that 8 Bit Guy video in which he argues it was the best DOS gaming computer. I wish I had owned one!
Psychedelics man...

They'll mess you up.
Fully agreed.

Amusingly, every single archetype in the "manager" section of this site contains advice which runs exactly counter to the advice from the also highly-upvoted "Common Mistakes of New Engineering Managers" article currently on the HN home page.

This just goes to show the extent to which our industry is still very "unsolved" and contains a multitude of often completely-opposed opinions - which means that reducing these opinions and the people who hold them to labels and suggesting they be "solved" is patently ridiculous.
Dendron is similar to foam. We support all the features of foam but put the emphasis on structuring and organizing your notes.

Dendron helps you organize your notes into hierarchies that you can enforce using schemas (think type system but for your hierarchies)

I would still consider trafficking of people slavery in everything but name and that is still going on right under our noses all over the world. Hardly anyone cares about that.
Define "forever".
Any company that has more than one product or more than one flavor of a product have product managers.
I was on the fence before I read this comment. I don't mind changing insignificant things if it makes people feel better.

Now I'm firmly in the camp that this wasn't worth it. Even having this remotely associated with the real important change that BLM is pushing for really dilutes the message. We're talking about a name and not the real injustices that some people face everyday.
Love that this product is automated and so user friendly for small businesses trying to unlock capital. Well done Clearbanc.
All of the sr.ht software is packaged for Alpine, so you can just install and configure them in your Docker container, the same way you would install and configure them in a VM.

There's no push-button magic for it, presumably because SourceHut the company (ie. Drew) isn't interested in running it in containers, but nothing is stopping you from trying. It's different from most Python software in that you're expected to use your OS's package manager and standard service tooling.
very solid aswell.

mind you even a basic srx is complete overkill for a home environment. it is very solid hardware with good support.
I would however, not recommend getting one for home use unless your employer runs juniper and can get you the update packages, getting them without a license is difficult.

> But in two papers published in the 1990s, Wigderson and his collaborators proved that under certain assumptions, it’s always possible to convert a fast random algorithm into a fast deterministic algorithm. The result established that the complexity class known as “BPP” was exactly equal to the complexity class P.

What about those assumptions, though? Was progress made on those? Otherwise it is still unknown whether BPP = P or not. For the interested, it seems that the two publications are [1] and [2].

I think we're in agreement? I'm saying that regardless, fights for equity are still a fight and therefore forced.

I'd also argue they do put a burden on people, though not an unnecessary one, to reevaluate their thinking and world view. Rosa Parks didn't force a white person to give up their seat for her. But she, and others, did force white people to rethink what they took for granted as the status quo.
This is one of those unfortunate "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenarios.

Being PC is trying to appeal to the masses instead of addressing the real issue. Though you can't really blame Github in this instance.

Imagine if women would once be able to have children without getting pregnant.

On the dark side, millions of mass manufactured soldiers without families to grieve for them will undo the last seal on unrestricted warfare. And those would probably be generically tweaked supersoldiers without pain, and remorse too.

That seems backwards to me, this next generation coming out absolutely does fit the around town car. I am not sure what percentage of the population fits "couple, one commutes to work, one is at home, live around a metro" but having a EV for city driving, and a ICE for road trips would be a completely normal configuration for many families in America, and kicks the charger network question down the road for at least half a decade. If it can replace ONE ICE vehicle, and you still own another, range becomes a non-issue. Now its a question of cost, can they deliver the experience at $20k. A $20K car that is delivered now, and a charging network that comes later may not hinder people from dipping their feet into their first EV. Charge time is the part of the car that cant be upgraded later, network can.

Tesla has what, 1000 charging stations across America, and Electrify America has 500?
I meant using the Reactive API types like using Publiher<Response> in REST APIs. These will be un-necessary in the future.
I don't think it's correct to say that the idea of prosperity and liberalism being linked has been disproven. China is very concerned generally with appearing prosperous, but they're generally not very forthcoming about the wellbeing of their citizens. If you're a Uighur right now, for example, things might not seem so rosy to you.

My setups have never been customized that deeply, but I used to be much more into the process than I am today.

What changed that was the frequency of needing to set up a working environment from scratch, for whatever reason whether that be a fresh OS install or a change of personal or work machines. After a while it becomes tiresome, both in initial setup and in maintenance (regardless of OS, highly custom configurations are more brittle and can break in more ways).

I still customize a fair bit but generally speaking I keep things closer to default and gravitate towards OSes and distributions that come reasonably close to where I want my environment to be out of the box so the amount of setup and maintenance is reduced to something sustainable.
Thanks for sharing. Some founders want to build companies while developers tend to want to solve problems. So often developer ideas are much better business ideas :-)
You’re overstating the capabilities of web APIs. Good luck trying to make a real web app with 3D graphics, offline storage, offline compute, or push notifications. All of that stuff is totally gimped compared with native iOS and Android APIs. This is no accident; widespread cross-platform app development with no revenue cut would go against the interests of the browser engine vendors.
There is limited energy available for resolving important issues. By focusing energy upon name changes that have no benefit we now rightfully criticize it for doing so, which wastes more energy. It also convinces people that the very idea of name changing is bad, and that this is a bad culture of people. Which harms future real movements for actual good change.

Therefore changes like these are far more harmful than good for everyone.

The sports team thing is really offensive though. They're literally using Native Americans as team mascots. Especially given the genocide that occurred. There's no reason to use any race of human, especially those who were struck with some of the worst systemic violence in history, as a mascot for a sports team.

I thought the original idea behind free software was to provide more freedom to the users (to thinker with, replace, and learn from said software), and not to pad the bottom line of a multi-billion dollar company by saving them the need to spend millions of man-hours building their own OS from scratch?

If GPL didn't force companies to contribute back, would Linux ever be where it is today?
I recall terminals (MacOS Terminal? definitely Konsole seems to) that prevent any paste from actually executing the command, even if it contains newlines. Doesn't that solve this problem?
My last router experience with openwrt ended up with me installing a random PR's staging build on my router because that was the only version of openwrt I could find that supported my router's chipset. And then I eventually just upgraded to a completely different router because I couldn't solve the bufferbloat issues created by a gigabit connection without hardware performance improvements.
