The reason why payday loans are allowed is that just like with drugs - outlawing them doesn't mean people don't seek them out. It's better to have access to a legal and well regulated payday lender business, rather than letting people borrow money from the "pay us back or else" kind. And they absolutely will, desperate people will seek out desperate solutions.

Larry Wall was quoted in the article, regarding laziness.

Bill Gates has a famous quote, "I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it."

Neither of those people can be accused of laziness, yet they both embrace it. Laziness in the context of productivity is often misunderstood as not doing things, but it is more aptly the stopping of doing in order to observe, think, and let the answer come to you. Work diligently, but think and simplify first. It seems to me that is also what the magicians do.
No, there are no backports of security fixes for the applications.
This was my thinking as well.

But actually, looking at Wikipedia, it appears there was work on a Hypercard 3.0, which added a bunch of features and turned Hypercard stacks into a special kind of Quicktime movie. It was demoed as alpha quality and never finished... which sounds pretty much exactly like nearly all other Apple products at the time! Smart people doing cool stuff with little direction under bad management, unable to get the cool stuff out the door. And arguably by the return of Jobs, the ship had sailed. There was no way Hypercard was going to take over the world after the introduction of Windows 95 and WWW, that was clear to anyone. I wish it had, though.

> Spoken like someone who has never lived paycheck to paycheck and been caught in a debt spiral.

Respectfully, go fuck yourself, you know nothing about me. You don't even seem to know what _you're_ talking about: poverty spirals don't disappear when you remove access to credit. I'm all for regulating payday lenders: the industry can be riven with fraud and rate regulation on the margins can smooth out the tradeoff between expanded credit access and debt traps. But my comment was in response to a comment claiming that they're always scams; spend five minutes educating yourself and you'll find plenty of examples of people who've actually bothered to look at the lives of people on the demand side of payday loans, like this New Yorker journalists[1].

It takes a lot of privilege and callous disregard for the poor to arrive at the idiocy of claiming that it's always a _good_ thing to remove a bad option from someone with only bad options.

> The spec is only meaningful if you can get other people to promise to implement it in the way it's supposed to be implemented.

The entire point of a spec is to help drive interoperable implementations. If that's not the goal, then it has no purpose and it might as well not exist.

The core of Wayland is supposedly a standardized protocol and these various projects seemed to do just fine implementing against that core spec. There's a reason I can run a Qt Wayland app on Mutter or vice versa.

Evolution and development of that spec can be done in a collaborative way that takes into account the various needs of those projects, such that the standard can evolve in a way that furthers the whole ecosystem.

That the Wayland folks instead throw up their hands and just say "write a compositor extension" demonstrates their unwillingness to do the actual hard work of building an ecosystem, which is creating consensus and driving adoption of common features.

Is this hard?

Yes.

What they are doing is hard, and it's deeply naive bordering on irresponsible to engage in a project of rebuilding the entire display server ecosystem without recognizing the need for coordination and diplomacy across the open source world.

I look at the history of this and all I can think is that this is a group of people who have failed to learn the lessons of the past. Groups like the X11 and HTML5 standards bodies, the IETF, and so many more have demonstrated how to build a consensus-oriented specification that enables and encourages interoperability. Yet, to hear you speak of this, that must be a figment of my imagination because apparently that's impossible.
Of course; if we wait around for documentary proof of covert operations to emerge it almost invariably arrives long after the point where anything can be done with the information.

There are oddities in the whole timeline which stand out to me. The social media videos of people keeling over in streets and buildings in Wuhan from the virus, which doesn't appear to be a genuine phenomenon of its pathology and therefore looks planted for psyop purposes. The CDC behaving so incompetently around testing and acknowledging the threat of the virus that it beggars belief (see: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-cdc-re...). No one from the global ruling class succumbing to the virus even as it claims multiple Covid-skeptical leaders in Africa where its impact is otherwise quite muted. Cuomo, Newsom, and Whitmer implementing policies which grossly amplified nursing home deaths in the early stages of the pandemic. Various maneuvers of public consent management, e.g. "15 Days to Slow the Spread" to get people to start lockdowns, followed by "we have to keep going until we get the vaccines" alongside zero investment in new ICU capacity and even reductions in hospital staff. The obvious wealth transfers and consolidation of the economy away from the middle class and small businesses which has occurred, along with the accelerated adoption of surveillable tech platforms as the primary means of interpersonal communication. Doctors reduced to begging on Twitter for people to run trials on repurposed generic treatments while all the stops are pulled out for the vaccines (even the Washington Post has recently acknowledged that financial incentives and political considerations are preventing cheap drugs from getting a fair shake: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/04/08/ivermectin-...).

But yeah, certainly nothing I can point to as hard proof.
If you look at the commenter's history, it becomes clear that they are much more concerned with one than the other.
Evidence doesn’t show anything, it supports things. Theories are replaced all the time by new theories that are supported by all the same evidence, and even more. Since this has been happening to theories on the fate of the universe on average once per generation for the past 100 years, and each successive theory has also had experimental support and scientific consensus, I’d say evidence supports a prediction of at least one more change, wouldn’t you?

> It seems very obvious to me that those doing racist hate crimes...

Who are doing racist hate crimes?

There is nothing obvious about it.

The media narrative is that Trump’s use of the term “China Virus” or “Kung Flu” has led to attacks on ALL Asians.

I’ve never seen any evidence of this.

And what is disgusting is assuming any old lady anywhere — be she Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, etc— who get pushed or mugged is the result of “anti-Asian racism” fueled by criticism of China.

That somebody would push an old lady because of their dislike of the CCP, is unbelievable enough. But, now I’m supposed to believe some mysterious ‘racists’ are harassing Japanese people because they dislike the CCP...

Where’s is the evidence for this ‘obvious’ state of affairs?

It’s absurd on its face.

Their is more ‘racism’ against Chinese from Vietnamese populations for instance... and vice versa. Ditto for Japanese v. Korean and Chinese v Japanese.

The fabled ‘white supremacist’ out there certainly know the difference between the various ethnicities. Your fabled red-neck Bubba knows the difference between Chinese and Vietnamese and the rest... many of these red-necked bubbas come from families that fought in the Korean War, Vietnam war, have been stationed in Japan, and took R&R in Thailand.

It seems the only segment of society that lumps them all together are white liberals who blithely assume all “people with slanty eyes” are the same. Just as they do with all “brown” people.

I don't think you understand the number of monthly listeners he draws, it was around 200 million or so. If you compare it to Howard Stern's contract of 100 million a year, it's really not a huge stretch for Joe Rogan to negotiate that price for a multi year deal and exclusive rights to the back catalog. You can't suddenly snap your fingers and generate a huge audience, extensive content and marque brand into existence.
Completely agree it's coming from employees and staff who believe their political ideology is the gospel and implementing cancel culture until there is no opposition is their goal. This largely stems from the bubble and lack of diversity in political ideology in the bay area and Europe.

"In that case we must evaluate whether the law is just or necessary"

It is a common view that a degree of redistribution is necessary and desirable, and the social benefits are rather clear.

Even then, there are some spectacular failures at penalizing tax evasion. There are known loopholes in the Spanish and EU tax system that remain unclosed because...? Also, for comparison I'd like to point out that the fiscal amnesty enacted by the Popular Party in 2012 was evidently unconstitutional, but somehow it was not until 2017 that the Constitutional Court settled the issue. It took this court about two hours to reach a conclusion regarding Catalan independence laws.

So if the goal is to have a progressive tax system, but political parties and the courts fail at even following the current laws, what should a reformer aim at? We've seen multiple leaks about tax evaders (Falcianni, Panama papers). The information contained in those leaks was illegally obtained. Does that mean they were also unjust and illegitimate, and therefore disregarded or condemned?

Not sure how these facts fit in your legalist perspective, and I don't understand the insistence in equating legality with justice, unless, as I said, one is benefiting economically and culturally from unjust laws, but doesn't want to feel like the bad guy. "Are we the baddies?"

There's plenty of ways to securely multiplex Ethernet devices. You don't give your web server read access to all TCP ports being used by other services for example. You only let it open the HTTP ports. There are of course ways for debuggers to escape this and intercept all TCP packets sent by the kernel, but those require elevated privileges.
Until you remember that his most popular episodes, and those that keep people coming back, are some of the most controversial. Talking about drugs, legalisation, smoking blunts with celebrities, hunting, and frankly being an openly right wing fanatic with some pretty intolerant world views at times are why he has a big audience. Securing both celebrity, tackling those taboo topics, and being a reasonably good host of conversation propelled him. Taking away the controversy puts him back in the group with nearly every other celebrity with a podcast.

That's not true. When Joe moved to Spotify his entire catalog didn't move, that's what he "didn't care about".

This is a new wave of canceled episodes. And there's no telling if these "activist" employees will find future episodes or more past episodes "problematic", in which case they may also be removed.

This is a page that displays nothing but static text.

- It does 71 requests

- It loads 2 MB or resources for this static page

- Saves at least 6.7 MB of data in storage on load, no idea where that comes from (service workers maybe?). It jumps to ~16 MB on page refresh

- Running Lighthouse on your website gives 2.9s until first contentful paint. 3 seconds to display less than a kilobyte of text. And that's for the front page. It's significantly worse for longer pages.

- And on top of that it has buttons-for-links for discord and twitter (that are also, funnily enough, removed by ad blockers like AdGuard)

It's not a bug, it bad UX, and new version of nix command line is meant to fix the UX. Or more correctly, it is a bug, but the proper fix is to remove that functionality.

Basically the nix repo unlike other package repos it isn't flat it is a tree of many different derivation. A lot of them even repeats. For example parent poster had problem because he installed version of nix that used musl instead of glibc. You can similarly reference packages that cross compile for different platforms. For example you can install Raspberry Pi version of a package. But if you're not running RPI that binary won't execute on your computer.

Now, nix-env by default tries to guess where in that package tree application with given name exists and then installs it.

This probably worked well early on when nixpkgs repository was small, but as it grew, they added cross compilation or other variants like installing packages with musl etc. It doesn't make a good guess. That's why now -i and -u should be followed with -A option, which disables the guessing and provides a path in the tree, so the command should be (besides being accurate it is also much faster since nix doesn't need to scan the whole tree):

nix-env -uA nixpkgs.nix

Or actually the recommend way to update nix itself is:

nix upgrade-nix

The nix-env command is also mostly used as a bridge since most new users will be familiar with that interaction. People who get past the learning curve no longer use nix-env, because it is not the "nix way" of doing things, which probably explains why the command is still the way it is, and the new cli command organization (which is using just single "nix" command kind of like you use git, doesn't have nix-env functionality)

That was the canary in the coal mine for me that activist mob outrage is getting out of hand. Another case of Gell Mann amnesia. When it’s a topic I’m extremely familiar with, the preemptive removal or outrage doesn’t make any sense.

Those episodes literally had a discussion about the problems of blackface, and the point of the show is that the characters are terrible people and that’s why the characters did it.[0]

Like you said, all nuance is lost in proactively defending against the online activist mob and we lose good discussion in the process.

> The 8237 is an ISA device and operates at the bus speed (with some overhead, ymmv, yada yada).

It's even worse than that -- the 8237 DMA controller is clocked at 4.77Mhz for backwards compatability. The normal ISA bus clock is ~8.25Mhz. So ISA DMA is actually half the speed of ISA memory or PIO access.

Thanks for the link. Of the three techniques mentioned, one (the entire deck is all the same card) obviously doesn't withstand any scrutiny; one (riffle through a deck and skip to your chosen card when they say stop) feels like it'd be too risky for a trick that took days to set up; and one (the "natural" force) says "please pay us to learn the secret."

But that's still rudely assuming that there is only one kind of " real actual problem in your life", meaning = problem with money and/or unemployment.

Is having to make a decision to take your child off life support a "real actual problem in your life"? How about being told that your visa won't be renewed and you have to leave your entire life, job, friends and family behind and move somewhere else? Is that a "real actual problem in your life"? How about a cancer diagnosis? A cheating spouse?

Not all "real actual problems" in life have to be related to money - you can have plenty of it and still be in an extremely difficult and distressing situation in your life, which won't naturally lead to increase in violence(cancer diagnosis is probably one of the worst events you can have in your life and yet I cannot imagine it's corellated to increase in violence rates at all). I frankly also find the attitude of the previous poster to be condescening and jugemental.
