Debating whether repealing Section 230 will suddenly grant people free speech on social media platform is missing the real issue. We should repeal Section 230 in order to destroy the social media industry.

Online you do not interact with "regular people" but people who put the most effort into online presence and those people are overwhelmingly individuals with very real mental disorder on the narcissistic spectrum often with other comorbid disorders.

On social media in particular you are exposed to both narcissists and in general a narcissistic mode of communication - because that's what social media is. Social media is a vehicle for turning an individual into a narcissistic persona. So even if you are not narcissistic in real life your social media activity will make it look like you are.

Social media is very unhealthy. It is a recipe for a mental disorder. It is primarily used by people with mental disorders. It is designed by people with mental disorders.

Quit social media—these online free speech advocates just want more people to pay attention to them which leads to more screen addiction. It's cancer for your soul. And I am not sure I am just being metaphorical.
>In the case of the Switch, it's not necessary to emulate the whole device or even processor, especially if the intention is to run Switch games on a computer

Switch has an ARM processor so it's definitely a requirement to emulate that, which QEMU is well-suited for. But to your point, Windows has great graphics APIs that would make it easier to pipe the graphic stack from the Switch OS into rather than writing your own implementation. The processor can be taken care of via JIT as well, but it still needs to be lifted.

From the other side, I thought the Fortran code had too much syntactic ceremony.

I haven't written Fortran in a while, but I was pretty sure that for illustrative examples like this, you could dispense with the entire MODULE declaration, the use of END FUNCTION Fibonacci instead of just END, and the usually-optional :: separator between the variable's type and name.

Something like this? Again, no recent experience:

implicit none

recursive function fibonacci(n) result (fib)
integer n
integer fib
if (n < 2) then
fib = n
else
fib = fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2)
endif
end

(The IMPLICIT NONE has to stay because of the now-regrettable Fortran convention that without it, the type of a variable is determined by the first character of the name (n would be integer because variables starting with m, n, i, etc. are integer, while fib would be floating point).)

I just love to see art being pushed forward.

We had Duchamp with his pissoir in 1920. I remember someone exhibiting a goldfish in a blender. And now this ...

They would say that art is what happens between the artwork and the observer. But of course it is much broader than that. There is also the artist, the story, the room, the broader society and ... the market.
Seeing these news I was wondering if the governments have to be more cautions with these suspensions. I.e. as far as I understand there is no evidence so far that the clotting is caused by the actual vaccine. And obviously if you vaccinate millions of people, people will die from all sorts of reasons after the vaccine no matter what. However if you suspend the vaccine and announce it, that may affect the desire of people to take the vaccine. So the net effect of being too cautious here may be more deaths.
> his apparent rigorousness is not at all scientific.

It is more scientific than Galileo, just less empirical.

Spinoza's contributions to thought lie on the logic axis, not the empirical axis. That didn't really get going until the British empiricists, culminating with Newton, who absolutely saw himself as a philosopher, and saw his physics as part of his philosophical work[1].

But Spinoza's historical axis includes Leibniz, on whose work both Gottlieb Frege and Bertrand Russell saw themselves as building when they formalized mathematical logic as we now know it[2][3]. Turing is another few steps down this road, and knew it[4]. Further down Spinoza's road we also get Kant, who Einstein targeted when he was trying to understand what space actually is[5].

It's also worth mentioning that the whole logic thing starts with the Greek philosophers, who saw themselves as extending Euclid's geometry into other domains. Aristotle formalized several still accepted forms of logical inference and rigorously taxonomized fallacies, as well as inventing the notion of taxonomies (and biology) to begin with[6]. Incidentally, much later, Descartes finished the work of applying Euclid's work to other domains, by marrying algebra and geometry[7], while trying to prove that God exists[8].

> there is no way to refute or evaluate philosophy.

This is plainly false. Every philosopher in the Western canon saw themselves as refuting earlier philosophers and traditions. Sometimes, these refutations were so spectacular that they became sciences.

I don't know man. To me, even when these guys fuck up, they still produce an awful lot of cool tools.

I'm reminded of a story from "Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman" where he asks a bunch of philosophy graduate students on what the definition of a certain phrase was, and everyone actually had a different idea. This ambiguity of language is why in my opinion philosophy is most certainly an art and not a science.

Dammit I was hoping this would include password requirements. I remember reading about a similar proposal on HN before.

The way I saw it described was a field for password security requirements, a field for an API url to let you change a password, etc. This would allow password managers to easily and simply change account passwords en masse. I suppose there are security risks as well, so maybe an email going out saying "an automated password change request was made, these often come from your password manager but only if you initiated it. If you want to approve this change, click here"
"I am not saying that inflation or interest rate rises are impossible in the future but I am suggesting that those who suggesting these are anything but very temporary phenomenon have to explain why the trends of many decades are going to reversed now and for what reason.

Only two reasons are being given. One is that there is going to be excess demand after coronavirus. The other is that there will be a shortage of supply of goods and services in the economy to meet that demand. My argument in this thread is that neither is likely."

I like how neither of these addresses really shit monetary policy, like over-production of currency. This entire analysis assumes the Fed doesn't end up forced to monetize several trillion in debt over a couple years.

It's great that developer productivity is getting more research love, as it is not easy telling developer advocates for my solution that, you still have to tell management that they still need to work for meaningful insights.

I think solutions like GitPrime (now Pluralsight Flow), GitHub Insights (formerly Gitalytics), Waydev, etc. really gives the impression that you can easily rollup metrics for management, to help them understand developer productivity, but the simple fact is, there are so many variables, as this article alludes to.

Take the microsoft/vscode project, which is being developed at an incredible pace. If you look at the raw numbers like commits, files changed, churn, etc. with the "Velocity" metrics in the following:

https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?r=gith...

you can see that it swings quite wildly at one point of time. And if you only look at typescript file changes in the following:

https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=lang...

you can see the patterns are much more consistent. Based on these wild swings, I really don't know how GitPrime and similar solutions are not generating metrics with big banners that says "these numbers may not be very useful".

In the business world, business intelligence is widely accepted and management fully understands that you still have to work at it, to get meaningful insights from BI and I'm hoping this attitude is adopted for developer insights.

I'm still early in my research, but I believe the metrics that both management and developers can get behind are impact based metrics. Impact really can't tell you if somebody is more productive than another person, it just says they are having a greater impact to the code base.

For example, with impact analysis, you can quickly identify busfactor that can tell management, if this developer leaves, we are probably going to experience delays in development. Impact analysis will also make it easier for developers to fight for raises as they will be better able to tell leaders how they are having an impact, compared to say a colleague. Impact analysis will also tell you if a developer is not stepping out of their comfort zone or confirm that you are not giving them a chance to expand, and so forth.

I personally think, trying to optimize developers for speed is a loss cause, and we should be focusing on metrics that can help reduce project risk, which I think everybody can get behind.

For rust this is certainly the case, demonstrated by this thread and almost any other thread about rust, it is . TBH it is a pattern to see title "fastest xxx written in rust".

I've also seen this rift, it was particularly confusing through the last 10 years to see Lenovo's lower end products being such dogshit, while their higher-end offerings were the best in the business. It seems like they're addressing this though, as some of their newer budget products are surprisingly robust. I recently picked up a new Ideapad for $400, and it felt much more robust than anything else I've ever used in the sub-$500 category. Same goes for the Duet, a $250 Chromebook with build quality that betrays it's lower-end hardware configuration. Modern Thinkpads seem to be making a bit of a comeback too, which I'm certainly happy to see.

Props to the Lenovo IT legal department who challenged a legal decision that would have cost them 200EUR. Sure it might have encouraged more people to ask for a refund, still cheaper than what they have to pay now.
Microsoft Access and Lotus Notes (and to a lesser extent SharePoint) both had these characteristics and are quite popular for the long tail of business processes that aren't covered by dedicated vendors. The only problem is the tech tends to age and it becomes hard to migrate the 1000+ bespoke "apps" that live inside the enterprise.
Yeah, this is certainly a gray area though. If I release an app in America — do I own that parking spot everywhere? Personally, I think not

I don't understand what you're trying to imply here. Should I be taking your sentence at face value, or are you saying that there is no evidence that masks and lockdowns stop the spread of the virus, and that there is sufficient evidence that the vaccine does more harm than good?
For sure, but I mean compared to industry.
They need clear, careful messaging and really need to avoid playing 9-dimensional chess with it all.

For example, people thinking that problems with the vaccine are being covered up could also lead to reluctance.
Likewise, I was not talking about the minority of far-right extremists who murdered and attempted to murder protestors, who set some of those police station fires (see: https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/23/texas-boogaloo...), etc. Nor was I even pinning blame for violent police misconduct on conservatives. I was simply answering the question about why an outlet like NPR doesn’t consider this a vindication of conservatives with the answer that most conservative voices are clearly not committed to addressing clear over-reaches of the government (ie police brutality) and instead play games like “whataboutism” and doing everything possible to blame the victim of the government instead (as well as those who protest this injustice). This is the majority of conservative voices who have condemned even completely and objectively peaceful efforts to protest police brutality (like Kaepernick).

It is, I fully admit, vindication of distrust of the government. It is not, however, vindication of /conservatives/, for all the reasons given here. And that is what the question was asking.

Anecdotally, I’ve seen a large number of retail-ish early adopters jumping into NFTs on Twitter.

And I can’t help but wonder if it is a true scam - you could do some massive early transactions to pump of perceived values and create get-rich-quick hype (optimally, these should mostly be left-hand-to-right-hand transactions), then go ahead and make money as an NFT marketplace. Or by selling other works from the artists that you just pumped to the moon (which you had purchased before the pump operation).

This is a great point.

The 3 main goals of the Fed[1] are:

1. Maximize employment

2. Stable prices

3. Moderate long-term interest rates

Maximizing employment and keeping prices stable are antithetical to the realities of automation and ephemeralization. If we want to use our automative technology correctly, we should be minimizing employmemt, and decreasing prices.

The article is using one or two features in a quick marketing style to promote rust.

> With too few platforms some are arguing they feel censored, banned from participating in public discourse.

The people making these arguments aren't doing so in good faith. They're playing the victim for extra attention. They claim they're banned from platforms because of their "conservative" politics when in fact it was them directly advocating for direct and explicit violence against political opponents that got them banned.

There's nothing "conservative" about advocating murder for your political opposition. That's not a necessary part of a conservative ethos. It's also not any sort of political discussion. If someone openly advocates for your murder you can't meet them half way.

When platforms get in trouble they make the same bad faith arguments. Parler whined claiming AWS dropped them for being a "conservative" platform while it was clear Amazon dropped them for not taking any meaningful steps to shut down open and explicit calls for violence.
