>But as a POC, I point out that America has a long tradition of taking children to witness lynchings, and the children would cheer. Or to beat foxes to death with sticks.

>I do not believe for a moment that witnessing the murders would change their minds, because even as video circulates showing the murder happening, they continue to cheer.

Social conditioning is a way to reinforce the abstraction over the reality though. I come from a right wing family and have seen it several times, not to mention how often it's reflected in memes criticizing the right: they change their minds when it happens to them. Cheney and his gay daughter is a prime example. Being part of a mob and watching another part do something bad to still another (perceived) mob feels more like theater than reality.

>I also don’t think we can conflate this with arguments about “people you disagree with.” We’re not talking about people sitting down and debating free love or long hair.

It's not conflating, it's reality. Those people can vote. They go to work. They are cops. They are doctors. They are school teachers. If you choose not to engage them as thinking people, how do you plan to change their minds? If you don't plan to change their minds, then what's the plan?

>We’re talking about people who believe that other people are literally a disease infecting society that should be exterminated as quickly as possible, preferably in such a way that it sends a message to others.

Are we? Knowing tons of very right wing people, I don't really see anyone happy about the kinds of deaths you're referring to. I see people defending police, giving them (perhaps too much) benefit of the doubt, and at times ignoring wrong doing, but that's a long way from a lynch mob. Not to say it's in good taste, but I think you're stretching a lack of sympathy, or perhaps willful ignorance at the extreme, to be the same as hate. From my perspective some people are just more concerned with law and order than fairness, and it's because they aren't on the losing end, not because they're malicious.
Yes - cops should kill fewer people.
Those libraries will come and go, but <dialog> is part of the HTML specification. I like to invest in learning things that are more likely to be around for a while.

As far as looks, it's all fully styleable with CSS so you can make it look however you like.
My favorite story is about the actor (who else, to be honest?) Samuel L. Jackson, born in 1948, who was in his mid 40s when Pulp Fiction (1994) and Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995) were released.

Some might argue that he had notable roles before that, but I think most people will argue that his career really kicked off after those two movies in particular.

EDIT: According to Wikipedia, "he rose to fame with films such as Coming to America (1988), Goodfellas (1990), Patriot Games (1992), Juice (1992), Menace II Society (1993), True Romance (1993), Jurassic Park (1993), and Fresh (1994)", which means that he was exactly-ish 40 years old when Coming to America (1988) was released.

It sure would be nice if we had a transnational energy infrastructure, as the sun is always shining somewhere. Think DESERTEC and Gobitec but for the whole planet.
Believe it. Federated identity is the future. Businesses don't want to spend money and take the risk of having user credentials, so they outsource it. The more companies outsource it to the same place or places, using standard protocols, the more attractive it is for them. It's identity as a service. Think of it as a replacement for the usual three buttons you see, inviting you to login with google, facebook, or twitter.
Alternatively, money is grifted for political patronage.
Nftables and Script to Generate Rules
Hi All,

NFTABLES

I made an nftables firewall script as apparently we are moving towards this replacing iptables (since forever it seems), any feedback would be most welcome.

Please note, the new nft syntax is, in my opinion, not as fully featured as it should be. Hence why I've used bash here to generate some parts of the rules.

If this is helpful to you please feel free to use it, if you see a problem with it (or nft and wish to comment, also feel free).

I am keen to see what you think of the script and nft generally.

Thanks
I was interested in what it takes to recycle a Li-ion cell and this was a pretty good overview for others:

https://cen.acs.org/materials/energy-storage/time-serious-re...

It's expensive now to recycle, and according to the article, the costs don't drop to recycle because if it's cheaper to dig up ore vs. recycle, well, the business doesn't exist.
It feels like within the next 20 years we are going to have a good handle on “green” power to fixed locations. The tricky piece we have left is how do we move people and freight over long distances.

EVs can do a decent job of transporting a few people a short distance, but aircraft and long distance freight has a whole other set of issues.

Look at container ships, one of the biggest polluters and sources of carbon on the planet. How do you remove the need for massive amounts of diesel on those?

How about passenger and air freight? How do we eliminate all the CO2 from jet fuel? In the US we are terrible at infrastructure, but do we invest in a super-train system?

This is likely the next big challenge.
Sounds good in theory but in practice, if you want to operate in a particular country,you need to abide by the laws of that country. That is what Apple stores all Chinese iCloud data within China and hands over the iCloud encryption keys to the government .

It seems that this was the conflict of interest that made Fujitsu's testimony unreliable. They couldn't admit fault without risking the contract. And I'm not sure that relationship was addressed in court for a jury to note.

If this were really what Riot wanted, they would stop serving the now nine+(?) year old assets from their CDN.

Not sure why this "security" guy is the one responsible for reaching out.

Not sure why he's asking about how they distributed their "workload".

To me, it sounds like some script kiddy wants to steal their project and sell it for profit. Otherwise, they wouldn't need the source code, domain name, or details of how the project runs.

Also, why would they configure their mail client to have "Riot Zed" as their name? Makes zero sense, smells like a scam to me.
> I used a debugger only a couple of times and in most cases it was against someone else's code

The vast majority of code I investigate is "someone else's" code. Most of the cases, it's a historical accumulation by multiple authors. If you generally only work in your own code, that's quite a different experience, and debugging is generally easier (because you were there when it was written).

"It's a bad system - at least for athletes."

No. It's a bad system for some athletes.

Its a good system for athletes that are not stars and don't play big money sports. Free education, free trips, play something you really like to do.

For other they are forgoing money they could earn.

If the system changes, I am sure it will be good for some athletes, not so much of others.

Not to be petty, but, while there is plenty of merit to the idea that there are persecutors on the left, my experience has unfailingly been that the right continues to hold (to the misfortune of all reasonable conservatives) an incomparably large share of the kind of hatred and desire for violence against one's own countrymen that is illustrated by the parent post. So it was in the 60's, and so it has been since. In fact, Trump's support for that attitude and that segment of his base is a big part of why the left reacts so strongly to him.
do you have any evidence to believe otherwise? I watched the entire trial and the state failed to prove Chauvin's guilt without a reasonable doubt.

The jury was obviously intimidated by the mob, let's hope for appeal and supreme court having enough sense to overturn this bs verdict.

Ah slight economic down-turn sparked a right-wing totalitarian resurgence across the whole world.

The lockdown mostly worked, because panem (food) and circensis (movie-streams and gaming) were continuously supplied. But, yes you have a point, the species behaved remarkably well under stress. But then, we also have a lot of social implants now too (cellphone-panopticon) and crowd-sourced anger-management.

Also its been half a year, since a angry crowd stampeded into the capitol building of a nuclear power.
> My opinion is that if you can't reason about the code helping yourself with just a couple of additional messages the code is probably broken/too complicated to begin with and requires serious refactoring. I've never understood people stepping through a program hoping to find some mysterious creature somewhere along a huge stack of calls. In my career I have often seen people always debugging an application as a whole instead of separated modules. Dividing a problem is the key. The same key that allows me to still program using vim without autocompletion, keep APIs sane and coherent, and avoid dead code.

The big thing here is that you seem to only work with your own code, where you can arbitrary refactor it and keep the entire thing in your head, as well as quickly find which module does what. But when working with a large foreign project, none of this works. You have to start working at the scope of the entire program, because you have no idea of the internal structure yet. Of course, people who use debuggers divide the code up as they go, but the point here is that they place a few choice breakpoints at central points in the application logic, inspect the stacktraces when one gets hit, and use them to further dig in to the part of the code they need to look at.
I pretty much all of these. One thing I wanted to add is decorators. There is code you might have easy access to edit to add print statements. I don’t love the spring boot docs and reading the code isn’t as useful as stepping through your specific autowired code tree. There’s definitely use cases but 95% of the time prints will get you there. Imo you should learn it because it will save you a bunch of time and headache when you need it.
Should we also stop using tax money to subsidize education for doctors?

Before you speak to the judge you speak to the prosecutor who can decide to add to the base fine of $173 + $25 court fee even if you don't go to court and it is at their discretion to increase the fine. A prosecutor involved for a speeding ticket no matter if you are going 5 over or 15 over is insane.
Please link to any of these 'large structures' otherwise we'll just continue to assume this is being pulled from your ass.
I know the point of this post is not the actual problem, but I couldn't help myself thinking about it.

It turns out that this is actually a more general phenomenon. Any matrix for which A[i,j] = A[i-1,j] + A[i,j-1] and that has all ones in the first column, i.e. A[0,j] =1, has unit determinant. Pascals triangle/determinant is just a special case when the first column and first row are all ones. Once you postulate this, you can prove it by induction since after one of your matrix "reductions", the (n-1) x (n-1) dimensional sub-determinant is still of the required form.

That’s only if there is no contingency plan in place and a backup server. Usually these things are thought out beforehand. And it’s not like you’re excused from this type of problems when you’re running your solution in the cloud. From cloud outages to configurations nightmares, data inconsistencies, not knowing what is happening because pinpointing on a complex infrastructure takes more time and so on. Sometimes the cloud way is the way to go but other times it is not justified.

It’s not as far off as you might think - even for individual homeowners. I’ve got a far from ideal house with a 8.4KWh solar array on my roof and 3x Tesla Powerwalls in my basement. Yesterday I produced 43KWh of electricity and exported 27KWh to the grid. The only reason I’ve needed grid connectivity in the last nine days has been to export power. In essence, I’m largely off grid from March through October.

Now, this wasn’t cheap (thankfully incentives made it more affordable and Eversource provides the most expensive electricity in the United States), after incentives it was about $22000. That’s a lot, but it’s not hard to imagine this becoming scalable in the near future for climates with better solar potential than Connecticut.
Storing power doesn't seem like an intractable problem. With the huge incentives with the coming electric car market, technology, renewables storage and god knows what else, I imagine there will be a lot of investment pouring into solving this. It's only a matter of time.
The owner of the convenience store near me played football for Stanford on a full ride. He's had to walk with a cane, or a walker on a bad day, since his 30s. It's an impediment to his job today, as he struggles to get around restocking throughout the day.

College football makes obscene amounts of money, while at the same time discarding a ton of young athletes with permanently broken bodies. The TBI stuff in particular is deeply disturbing. I heard a heartbreaking interview with a family where 3 generations are entering dementia simultaneously because the younger 2 both played college ball.

Coaches, schools, broadcasters... true fortunes being made by this industry every single day. But somehow giving the dang kids a slice of that ruins the authenticity of the league. What a pile of nonsense.
What the devs are doing here seems similar to the private RuneScape servers that exist to this day. The only thing I can think of is that RuneScape created OSRS (olde school RuneScape) off of a backup from 2007. Maybe Riot is planning on doing something similar?

While this seems outrageous I can see why Riot is interested in protecting their IP especially given how they’re looking to expand their lore of Runeterra to other mediums (TV Shows, other games, etc..)

Regardless there is a right way to confront them on legal concerns. A dev threatening on discord is not that.
Indeed, honorary degrees are earned. The accreditation process differs for every individual, at a micro level and for individuals across organizations (and time and discipline, et al) at a macro level. The idea that a degree is "earned" based on a lack of the "honorary" descriptor belies a bias of ignorance, at best.
I explained why in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26925722. The cost increase was due to redesigning the project to be larger.
Something smells fishy here. Surely sending a C&D letter would have been more cost/time efficient for all parties involved? Then again, I wouldn't put it past Riot to try to employ these kind of shakedown tactics given their... ah, "culture".
Comparing eg tennis players and doctors doesn't really explain anything about your position to me, one serves a critical public function and one does not
Whenever this comes up, I think of this quote from The Practice of Programming by Brian W. Kernighan and Rob Pike [0]:

> As personal choice, we tend not to use debuggers beyond getting a stack trace or the value of a variable or two. One reason is that it is easy to get lost in details of complicated data structures and control flow; we find stepping through a program less productive than thinking harder and adding output statements and self-checking code at critical places. Clicking over statements takes longer than scanning the output of judiciously-placed displays. It takes less time to decide where to put print statements than to single-step to the critical section of code, even assuming we know where that is. More important, debugging statements stay with the program; debugging sessions are transient.

I found this lines up with my personal experience. I used to lean on interactive debuggers a lot, and still enjoy using them. They're fun and make for good exploring. But the act of figuring out where you want to print really makes you think in ways that interactive debugging cannot. I find the two forms really complement each other.

>I don't get the negativity.

I suppose my response looks negative. What drove that was that the writeup seemed to be "high confidence in something very unusual[1]" coupled with "very little detail on what he thinks would accomplish that[2]".

[1] "Million times faster" "with today’s technology" "40 years of performance gain"

[2] I gathered only analog vs digital, light instead of electricity, and some sort of analog/optical FPGA.

I felt negative only in the sense that the confidence seemed very high, but I couldn't see any detail that seemed to support it, or enough detail to search elsewhere. Especially with all the references that we could do it now.

> a question for computer scientists, what single question would you ask if you have a dedicated computer that was [that multiplier] faster?

Assuming climate change is the largest threat looming in the near future, I suppose better modeling and prediction on what to do, and when.
When laundering money, "clean" money is worth more to them than "dirty" money, so substantial losses would be part of the plan.

And yes, banks try not to be defrauded. "Due diligence" is about catching problems like this or at least reducing them to manageable levels.

But I don't know the details; I just read a book about fraud.
This athlete got a scholarship, elite coaching, a college degree and is now playing her sport professionally. She's a beneficiary of the system, not a casualty of it.

The only harm that has been done is that the NCAA has written her out of its internal records (it's dishonest to say "My Career" when it explicitly refers to her achievements as a professed amateur).

The NCAA does things that seem exploitative and wrong to me. But it also helps a lot of people. This young lady's outrage is not a good argument for the former.
> There is only a few decades of lithium left to be extracted by the way.

Julian Simon's bet with Paul Ehrlich. You're not apparently aware of the amount of lithium worldwide, it's availability or its price trajectory. All minerals are significantly more abundant than people think, supply chain dynamics in mining do no equate to scarcity on earth, they relate to the economics of exploration and extraction and shipping.

I'll make an exception for pink diamonds. Lithium is not in 10 year decline. Lithium is also not the only battery mineral of interest and battery tech is not stand and die on lithium for either cost, or energy density, or recharge speed.
I think it's relatively common to have support responses not sent under the employee's real name. "Riot Zed" sounds about as common as "Alice at Foobarcorp" or "Gamemaster Bob".

There is just too much out there for someone to find when using their full name. No need to give angry customers an easy way to dox your employees.
Very fair, my comment was actually rather blasé, since Riot has done far worse on far more important things.

I suppose the Chronoshift developers should be happy no one farted on them.
