Couldn't agree more. The thing that drove me away from faith was feeling like it was a set of truths that required obscuring the rest of life to keep true.

To me faith is something that you _have_ to understand through the lens of your life. There is no understanding faith before life. Your experiences allow you to understand faith. Which isn't to say that life is more important than faith, not at all, just that life is the lens in which you view faith.

In that mindset, faith seems exceptionally deep and complex. Full of discussion, learning, change. Not a black and white truth, but a series of learnings and understanding. You can't learn (in my mind) without change, and so the idea of a churn that teaches absolute truths felt fundamentally broken to me. I think faith is a journey in knowledge. And so many churches seem almost aggressive towards knowledge. They favor rote memorization, i think, as a method to avoid change. To avoid their doctrine as being mutable.

This mindset also seems pervasive into how these people behave in life, too. Just like how children need to learn to think critically, adults need to practice thinking critically. Such a strong emphasis on rote memorization has wide affects, i think.

No grand statements here, and i mean no offense to religion. Just my thoughts on some denominations.
Can't we have archives in case any packages fail to resolve? Archive.org might even work in some circumstances. (not saying that we should use that, but that it would be trivial to have backups in a repository that we don't always rely on for all dependencies)
The real Skynet will answer like this.
I want to thank you as well.

I've been really enjoying Gemini, and I don't think it would have happened without the resurgence of interest in Gopher. I want to make sure Gopher survives for retrocomputing, so that Gemini doesn't feel compelled to support the full weight of backwards compatibility for computers pre-dating the Web, and Gopher doesn't feel pressure to extend and update for modern needs (like privacy in a world of total surveillance). We need both, I think.
Actually news media would be lucky to get $.03 from a single pageview. Their RPM is quite low due to the lack of targeted audience.
Right, but I called the rules "useless" because it does not tell you any actionable info -- and this is normally expected of rules.

Here is a fixed version (note I added "times 20" at the end):

"the compiler generates better assembly code than a human could within the time it takes to write high-level code times 20"

See -- now I can make predictions. Let's say you have a function that you want to make fast, and you want to optimize it in assembly. The function took 30 minutes to write and debug. Do you have 10 hours to spare? Try assembly. No time? Leave as-is.

Much more useful this way, no?
Mostly men. But not only.

Mostly white. But not only.

Reflecting decades later I think they were probably mostly insecure, and at the time I realised they were mostly only marginally competent.

"Only a fucking idiot would do that" meaning "I do not know what you are talking about but if I admit it I might look bad, so I will attack you instead"

Some times they were truly brilliant. I could call out some very famous project leaders (one of whom attacked me on a mailing list on a topic over which I was an expert and he was not. Deeply personal attacks) but I do not think it would be helpful. There are plenty of examples, and they are easy to find in old logs.

But times are changing and being a total prick to prove a point is not tolerated in the worlds I (mostly) move in now. It takes debate and reasoning to prove your point.

Should have happened thirty years ago. We lost a generation to fields where asbestos suits were not mandatory to participate. That was literally the advice for almost every forum back in the day "wear your asbestos suit"
I wonder frequently about what would happen if we stopped searching for a network architecture that would learn intelligence from training data amd treated it more as an engineering problem, taking these very successful components (GPT-3, an object recognition model, one of the strategy game playing reinforcement learning networks) and then putting enormous human effort into the plumbing between them and an interface between the combined result and the world.

At the least, you would learn which domains really do need new architectures and which are basically good enough when used as part of a larger system that can help compensate for the shortcomings.
How do they get paid? I didn't see that in the FAQ. Presumably they take a cut from the seller? If so, I'd imagine it might be frustrating to negotiate which 3rd party you pick for what fee for each transaction.
This is great. It almost handles a use case I’ve been looking for which is a slimmed down version of Calendly. Basically merge multiple personal/work calendars into a single free/busy calendar I can share with my wife/family.

Spotlight correctly interprets numerical expressions, but it also treats them as search queries for the entire filesystem, resulting in an expensive retrieval process after every keystroke. It's the most convenient, so I use it anyways, but the end result is that cpu starts to overheat for a query as simple as 1 + 2.
It's not an insult. But there is fundamentally different worldviews that form based on the time you were brought up in, and these worldviews persist as "memes" across the population. Of course there were savvy boomers that understood some or most of the implications of the internet, and will readily purchase the latest game console and are interacting with DeFi already...but my experience as a former computer technician and cell phone salesperson is that broadly speaking, that generation learns and experiments with technology at a slower rate.

For boomers, network television and radio were the primary forms of entertainment in their formulative years. Because PCs either didn't exist or were so expensive and hard to use, very few boomers grew up with this stuff. It's like being a native speaker of a language. You master the language in a way that is very difficult for non-native speakers to achieve. That's nothing on "non-native" speakers of a language, but it's just that your earliest years shape how you think and use these tools and that's hard to overcome.

@mulmen - can't reply to your thread below, but understand that these generational differences are broadly recognized and apparent in consumer behavior and well-documented. I'm not making up the generation gap with regards to digital technology. The fact that people close to you happened to be savvy with tech (were they mining BTC in 2011? were they crowdfunding Oculus in 2012? were they on Instagram in 2010? did they do a startup during the mobile boom?) doesn't discount broad demographic trends.

Like the example I used above, the existence of non-native speakers that speak perfect English does not discount that fact that vast majority of people that learn a language past childhood struggle to develop that mastery. PCs did not reach mainstream adoption until the 90s. For boomers, they were already in their late 30s to 50s by the time this happened. You can even see this example in the cryptocurrency space. How many bloggers, podcasters, developers, etc in the blockchain space are boomers? Relatively few compared to their representation of the world population. This space has been largely driven by younger generations. That's a fair statement.
The trouble with that is that inherited wealth replicates existing inequalities, whereas newly earned wealth at least offers the chance for social mobility. I'd be more interested in median wealth of each generation.
I grew up near Fellows Gear Shaper and being on the short list of Nazi targets was a point of pride for the small town.
QuickJS would work fine in both Edbrowse and Netsurf.
> - Content consumers just want to watch their content, ads aren't annoying enough for most people to pay $11.99 to unlock all of YouTube ad-free (~13 videos / day @ $0.03 / video)

Bigger problem for youtube, imo, is that ad-block works on desktop, and also they don't have any content most of us couldn't live without.
You're missing the miss-characterization of his words by every news media outlet on planet that continues to this day:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/red-hat-withdraws-fr...

> after a two-year hiatus due to his own highly controversial remarks about his perception of Jeffrey Epstein's victims as "entirely willing."

RMS didn't get cancelled for his words, he got cancelled for what everyone thought his words were.
No. Ryan Dahl was the initial individual creator of Node.
While this would certainly be good information I'm not sure they are the _only valid_ temps to test range at. Surely what would be most reasonable to report would be your day-to-day environment. That being said electric cars do seem to have their range affected by temp a lot more than IC cars, and as someone who lives in the Pacific Northwest I do feel like their ranges should be quoted regionally, though that does seem like a lot of work for something that was pretty easily researchable going in. That all being said, it would have been nice to know that my average in WA would be about 5% below the Southern California average.

Full disclosure - I own a model 3 and love it
> If the law is bad, breaking it is not a solution.

Breaking the law is often instrumental to changing it. The progressive collapse of marijuana prohibition wouldn't have happened if people hadn't consistently disobeyed the law. Civil Rights wouldn't have happened without people actively breaking the laws at issue.

And so on.
They would ban exchanges from operating within the US, which would render Bitcoin useless for 99.99% of US users. I don't think they'll do this either, but they don't have to do anything fancy to make Bitcoin worthless for the average citizen.
US gov't has extensive training with drugs and firearms. Just convince normal people to stay away, and shame the rest to submission with propaganda.
Do you work in a job where you can't stop the clock for 10 minutes to take care of bodily functions? The only choices here are between getting penalized for lateness, pissing in a bottle, or finding a new job, and they amount to the same thing - bottle or new job. Plus it's absolutely disgusting. I think if it were personal choice alone, people would be more discreet. This story implies they're so pressed for time they can't even toss the bottle in the trash because they have to refill it... I can't even begin to imagine how that becomes a normal everyday activity at a company without somebody questioning how things got this way.
They can have things like Transfer Taxes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_tax) to reduce liquidity and hence desirability

They can remove long-term capital gains on it and make it all short term treatment or partly short term treatment (I think that is how it works for futures IIRC.)

They could create different categories of taxes (e.g., what we have for dividends), except with higher categories.
> As a professional singer of Bach, I feel that the integration of Bach made a lot of sense and worked very well.

I am only an amateur player of Bach, but I felt the same way. However, it probably is worth noting that a major reason why Bach works in this context is the particular nature of his music--or more precisely the particular subsample of his music that GEB refers to. I don't think the music of most other composers, or even some of Bach's less contrapuntal music, would have made sense in this context.
I recently started playing with the Breez wallet (https://breez.technology) and they introduced a podcast player directly in the app, and small payments are sent to the author every few seconds, while you listen to the podcast episode. It's pretty nifty and I like it. If there would be widespread support in browsers for this kind of technology, I could see it get to mainstream adoption.
Some friends seem to think I'm a luddite when I say this, but this is one reason why I have no wireless mice, keyboard or headphones. Why introduce batteries that can lose charge and potentially unreliable wireless connections when you can have a cheaper, more reliable device with a plain old USB cable? The same goes for wifi. I make sure my work computer is wired through ethernet. Why would I want to risk downtime or random disconnections during meetings?
He also ate ”something” from his own foot, in public. I’m not saying his behavior is not highly inappropriate for an adult man. I simply refuse to attribute malice. He probably thought it was hilarious to lick the arm of someone he just met.
I really don't want a centralized organization to have visibility of all transactions along with the power to cut them off.
Just because I don't want to participate in your Ponzi scheme doesn't mean I cannot point out how idiotic it is.
Personally, I've seen churches eat way more people alive than greed or any other power allure.

Beauty consumes people at the beginning of life, but most get away from it at the start of adult age. The only other things that come close are political ideologies and personality cults.
How many variants of features are there really in practice for cables? Particularly for "brand name" cables from Anker, Amazon Basics, etc?

I've only ever noticed Thunderbolt (which I've always seen denoted by a lightning bolt) and USB-C. And never really had a compatibility issue outside of that.

One issue I have noticed is that there are dozens of 5 and 7 port USB A hubs out there, but there are basically no 5 or 7 port USB-C hubs. Lots of multi-purpose hubs with SD slot, multiple USB-A ports, and maybe 2 or 3 usb-c ports. And those USB-C ports will often have higher output via power delivery protocol, so obviously there's a thermal limit to how many of those you can pack onto a small hub. But why are there no non-power delivery simple usb-c hubs that would be a drop-in replacement for USB A hubs? It seems like this is kind of an issue for more simple peripheries to switch over to USB-C.
Since others already mentioned many fantastic alternatives, let me share mine: https://bbodi.github.io/notecalc3/
They sometimes get more than just payment. If a publication promises to show an ad for a specific company, before a visitor can read a specific article, that company try to help drive visitors to that article to drive more ad views.

This is why (using Twitter as an example) you sometimes see news articles for seemingly unrelated content show up as promoted Tweets straight from the journalist with "Sponsored by T-Mobile" at the bottom. Chances are, clicking through to the article will also lead to a T-Mobile advertisement.
Bitcoin has gotten the biggest free ride ever from Ethereum. 2 bull cycles now have been driven by increasing usage on Ethereum (icos in 2017, and now DeFi and NFTs), while Bitcoin absorbs most of the dumb money who hears about “blockchain, the technology behind Bitcoin” in the news.
Modulo some huge disruption. Most people are naturally reactionary, especially when it comes to fundamental changes in their livelihood.

I'm not talking in theory. This is history. This debate literally already happened almost two decades ago. Scott McCloud and Penny Arcade!
X company made $100M Revenue, $50M Gross Profit ( Revenue Subtract COGS ), paid $30M for employee salary, $10M for Office, Building and Rent, $10M for Operation such as Accounting, Financial Expenses, Legal, Insurance, Utility expenses....... all within the same Country or State

Subtracting everything, X Company made Zero Net Profit. How much should X Company paid on Tax?

How much did this Lifeblood ( X Company ) contributed to the entire organism ( Society )? ( Hint: it is not Zero )
Unless you can elaborate and distinguish different kinds of "worship", your accusation is overblown. Maybe he used this word simply because it was the best choice available to capture and communicate the underlined meaning?
Yes. I think the characterization in TFA is still valid.
Well, okay, but it's pretty much here to stay and doesn't have that great of a drawback that it's worth breaking any cross-compatible code that currently exists.

If there is going to be a global object, then it might as well be the same one used in the browser, which everyone who writes JS is familiar with.
There’s hardly been growth in the value of transactions on Lightning, compared to the 20x growth on various L2 solutions on Ethereum like Loopring, zkSync, etc. Lightning’s UX is poor as well, where both parties need to be online at the same time.
Oh you know what, I think you just helped me realise what might be the culprit. The cable in these headphones is like 8 feet longer than my cheap-o-phones and so I've run it around the back and to the side of my desk and the back out front.

As a result I probably changed how my headphone cable behaves as an antenna compared to the shorter cable that went straight from laptop to my ears.
It really depends on your definition of religion. We tend to superimpose Abrahamic religious models onto how we see "pagan" practices, but in reality many belief systems wouldn't fit what we call religion now. Almost all of them, including traditional Roman beliefs didn't include any notion of their own supremacy or unique truth, for example. The gods were not "perfect" beings or all-knowing they were just ... more powerful people. What you _believed_ was less important than what you practiced (sacrifice, etc.) Christianity was the first to make _belief_ primary.

And this goes back to what I was saying at the start of this thread: the church community is nice. But it is tied to an insistence in belief. Like, you have to have these ideas in your head. That's actually kind of f*cked up if you think about it, and kind of an aberration in the context of spiritual practices in all of human history. Most of the time it was: put this idol in your house or give a sacrifice for a good harvest and we're good. Nobody cared if you believed it or not. It's a series of practices to hopefully alter the world. And some good stories to go with it.

The Romans were incredulous at the early Christians not because of what they believed ("sure, Christ, why not...") but because they refused to follow along in community practices (no sacrifices to the emperor or city gods) and insisted that _only_ their beliefs were correct.

Many sites require JavaScript even if they don't really need it. Users won't use a no script browser because it locks them out of much of the web.

The houses just 100 yards away from me have wells for water. There is a large upfront cost of making the well but after that you have "free" water other than the electricity for the pump.
Louisiana has little to offer politically compared to CA or WA/Seattle area, at least to me. I'm so happy I skipped a job in 2019 that would have out me in San Antonio this winter. I'll happily pay higher taxes so my power stays on, my partner/etc own their own bodies, and the people I live around actually want to help make this a better place for all. IMO that stability is worth the cost of a blue state+ tech minded city combo.
I have to admit I have a very poor understanding of how FedNow and FedCoin are expected to operate or if they are expected to be tied together, with this article being one of the few I've found despite it's negative overall tone.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_space#Gemini_resources for those who are curious.

I ran into Gemini last week looking into lightweight markup languages and Gemtext seems like an interesting one.

Gemini really does seem like a heavy handed approach (in a good way) to creating a pure hypermedia system and avoiding the road HTML went down. No Code-on-demand constraint, no concept of styling at all leaving display totally up to the client removes a ton of the complexity. I saw Gemini defined as "a better gopher" and think that's fairly accurate.
The issue is with Enhanced Tracking Protection and that 'The operation is insecure.'; even though disabling ETP fixes it I'm not exactly sure why there is an issue in the first place (it's all minified). I entirely agree with you that it sucks, but it can run just fine with ads disabled.

Also this part stood out to me: "Sure, the risks of vaccination were low and the benefits to society were high. But if your kid is the rare person who experiences a severe side effect, the greater good no longer matters."
Judaism was a monotheistic religion surrounded by polytheists, their concern was maintaining their cultural integrity and identity.

Other commandments (though shalt not covet, etc) are concerned with materialism and greed. "Though Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me" is pretty clearly about precisely what it says on the tin.
Lightweight Cryptography Standardization: Finalists Announced
While being able to use exchanges in the US is helpful, it isn't necessary. It might curb short term adoption, but it doesn't stop the inevitable, which is crypto completely taking over the world.

It's in the US's best interest to embrace it.

Edit: the best downvotes are from people that missed out on the technological innovation of a lifetime.

I guess a lot of the BS filler text is added just so they can fit more ads around the text, huh? The goal for online publications isn't to inform you and save you time... It's to make you click on ads. They want to have you see as many ads as possible, and make sure that you stay on the page as long as possible. If the news article was just a one-paragraph snippet, you couldn't fit 8 ads on the page, it would look absolutely laughable.
The current wix site you have up really looks broken on all my browsers, which doesn't instill confidence. The fact that it's wix alone is problematic, let alone that it doesn't even work on multiple browsers of mine.
