Yep. People are surprised when I say things like this as a software developer.

I'm paid to create software, not for copies of software. The difference is subtle but very important.

Copyright: literally the right to copy, as if monks haven't been copying books by hand since writing existed - and "Imaginary Property" - a concept invented so they can pretend information is scarce so needs to be owned and hoarded - were invented by lawyers, for the exclusive benefit of lawyers and the people who can afford lawyers, which is to say those already rich in actual scarce resources, as a means to extract value from the working class.

Humans, and future humans are the most valuable potential resource we possess as a species within a universe that is harsh and unforgiving with terrifying real scarcity. And in all my reading, and searching of the heavens and space as far as we can see according to astronomers including the SETI project, there are no gods, and not even any more advanced civilizations to help us. So to me, the idea that we came up with ways to enforce artificial scarcity of information which could save us from eventual extinction is baffling to me. When someone says "we need copyright" I hear "I hate humanity and want it to die". What if copyright turns out to be the Great Filter?

It's somehow staggering and grounding to know that these exist... I wish I could investigate these kinds of groups.

You could say the same for Afghanistan 20 years ago, but plausible deniability will only go so far..

I try to avoid paper notes, and don't mind having a laptop with me almost all the time (I'm also not fond of smartphones for notes), but when I do need a little paper notebook...

If I'm bothering with a paper notebook (for information, not artistic sketching), it's probably important, and possibly in a messy environment. So I go with the Rite in the Rain brand notebook, together with a Fisher Space Pen. Though I still don't like the coated feeling to the paper.

For work, notes of all kinds are electronic and shared throughout engs&ops and time, so either go into the git monorepo (usually in Markdown files, or embedded in source code files), or in GitLab Issues. If it's a one-time capture, not a note that will evolve, the filename tends to start with a date in sortable format (e.g., `20210517-foo-tech-background-prep-for-baz-meeting.md`).

For personal, I used to capture "quick document" notes organized based on timestamps and categories, with an emphasis on capturing some little idea or bit of information while it was in front of me, with minimal interruption to whatever else I was doing. Hit hotkey, just start typing or copy&paste very rapidly, and done. No naming files, organizing, etc. Here's one small Emacs thing to make that easier (maybe Org-Mode would be better): https://www.neilvandyke.org/emacs-qd/

Taiwan is geologically active and as a result there are few viable locations to build a nuclear power plant.

Ironically, the Taipei-Hsinchu metropolitan area is on very solid ground and would have been perfect for a nuclear power station if it weren't so heavily populated.

Non-sequitur. Many developers have and always will contribute for free to open source projects, and freeware.
They’re referring to the fact Gaza/Palestine is one of the densest countries in the world.

Gaza is also completely surrounded by sea and another country, so it’s an incredibly dense place with no room to grow. Seoul and Paris are also dense places, but you can keep walking and eventually you see it thin out without a clear border on city limits. Put a fence around Paris city core and fire a missile on the city center—news will talk about one of the densest places on earth being blown up.
>I know this sounds odd, but at this point I don't think it matters

I know the quote "one death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic" and all, but if we deem it important to get to the bottom of individual deaths, accidental or not, than it is important to get to the bottom of millions of deaths.
I still remember someone demonstrating the relative safety of LiFePOs by driving a nail straight through one in front of me.

The LiPo immediately started smoking and within a few seconds erupted into flame, the LiFePo (an A123 cell) didn't really do much of anything at all, other than no longer functioning.
I suspect that HN-oriented propaganda will look more like academic publications, VC investors and job offers.
I'm convinced that it's a lab leak. I'm also convinced the slow reveal is a psyop and I don't disagree with it's objectives.

The sudden revelation that China screwed up and lied to the world is too shocking for the vast majority of people. The global public's response would not be optimal.

The slow reveal gives societies around the world time to adjust to the new reality.

If we were all thrown into that reality overnight it would get messy.

Lol. Nethack is designed for the Unix console. All commands are key-down only.

But you had me going for a second. Nethack is also turn-based, so there's no real-time element at all. If you come across a difficult turn, its a common "strategy" to walk away from the computer, relax a bit, and then look at the screen with a different mindset. Maybe you can think of a better solution if you give yourself time.

Thanks!

I've been thinking about how to handle environment changes for a while, and it's pretty hard to reliably detect and respond to them in all supported systems.

But I really like the idea of a manual "re-init" method as temporary measure. This should be trivial in Windows, and doable in Linux after some refactoring.

Thanks for the idea, I'll take a look tomorrow.
Thank you very much for the offer. Please email me a note, at jon@peacemakr.io, or just find me on linkedin, https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-mclachlan/ :)
Yeah - it sucks in comparison. Not at all similar to anything in my library. It might as well be random.
Wim hof seems derivative of some yogic breathing practices that have existed for a while. I have learned one of them (and then another one at a later stage in my life for migraines) and can vouch for good long term effects for either one, they are:
1) Sudarshan Kriya by Art of Living foundation
2) Shambhavi kriya by Isha foundation

IMO both of these are better integrated with pranayam.
You'd need to find that bat that you imagine bit someone in October 2019, swab its nose or anus and sequence for SARS-CoV-2, because the closest known bat virus relative to SARS-CoV-2 has a decades-long evolutionary gap to it.

Oh, also viruses don't get virulent in the new host the moment the zoonotic transfer occurs. It takes a bit of time to evolve and adapt.
RT broadcasts plenty of true stories too, mostly from Reuters, AP or simply translations of European papers. The trick is to report wjatever comes up for topics you don't care about and mix in false or misleading narratives on issues where you do, e.g. in relation to Ukraine.

Rather than expect me, random stranger, to point out what is or isn't propaganda, see e.g. that the EU has an entire site largely debunking Russian propaganda as Russia uses it so frequently and effectively:

There have been attempts by the French and Dutch governments to codify parts of tax law as a trial of sorts, check out M for one https://github.com/MLanguage/mlang

Nevertheless, such efforts cover minimal portions already very clearly defined and debated. As another commenter replied, reforms are rarely undertaken for various reasons. One great issue with tax law is also that whatever code you may write is not necessarily guaranteed to be 'better' (fairness, revenue collected, lack of loopholes and edge cases, completeness, correctness... pick your metric) simply because it's code. That's what I thought too; but no longer.

*Small correction - the minimum value of 8000 put contracts would be $8000, since one put at a price of $.01 actually costs $1 and controls 100 shares of stock (the price is price per share)
> I don't understand how every one else has issues hitting the tab key but no problem clicking on space 6 out of 10 spaces

I use spaces all the time and didn't even know this issue is a thing. Especially when using monospaced fonts and text editors which just treat tabs and spaces almost the same from the user's viewpoint. I mainly prefer spaces because the cursor movement is more consistent and predictable, especially when I align things in code which otherwise leads to a mix of tabs and spaces.
Looking at the country list, I see Israel is the #5 most densely populated country in the world. And Bnei Brak is the #5 most densely populated city, far more densely populated than Gaza. Bnei Brak was hit by rockets this week.

Can you link me to some articles that refer to "Hamas firing rockets on Bnei Brak, one of the most densely populated cities in the world"? Or "on israel, one of the most densely populated countries"?

If not, my question for you is: why do we see this phrase so commonly in reporting on Gaza but not on other more densely populated areas?
All of science is driven by hypothesis, but those hypotheses don't just appear out of nowhere. Suspicion, bias, and bad data can all drive focus on a particular field. In that way, such conjecture is a powerful scientific tool that in my opinion is too often dismissed.
Sadly, in this specific case we update almost 1/10th of the table daily and we have also based our entire searching functionality on indexes in this table.

Bad news: our product relies a lot on having so many access patterns so it's hard to limit the indexes at this point

Good news: most of the overhead (as you can see from the table with the timings) seems to be caused by the GIN index. We'll most likely move full text search to ElasticSearch and drop this so things will most likely get better.

Once the move is done, we'll try dropping indexes and using ElasticSearch more for searches. I've seen this work tremendously well in the past so I have high hopes!

It's not irrelevant at all, you mentioned them yourself, and he spent more time discussing lithium metal. What's irrelevant is your nervousness.
FWIW, this is a meme reference. See: https://craphound.com/spamsolutions.txt.
>If that other sub is so bad, then Reddit should ban it outright

Because reddit is generally hands off when it comes to moderation. It generally doesn't replace moderators nor punishes moderators for their actions.

>why recommend it to users only to get them banned in other subs?

probably because the recommendation algorithm isn't smart enough to figure that out.

> “This proof-of-concept design shows that lithium-metal solid-state batteries could be competitive with commercial lithium-ion batteries,” said Li. “And the flexibility and versatility of our multilayer design makes it potentially compatible with mass production procedures in the battery industry.
>and it's impossible to avoid a vehicle battery cracking open in a bad enough accident

If you watch old car racing competitions, you will see that they were extremely dangerous because of the gas deposit burning at the minimum crash.

How many of those you see today? Close to zero. They let the deposit deform under an accident and it really works.

Electric cars are much safer for humans than ICE in accidents because batteries could displace under people instead of hitting people like engines do.

Electric cars are going to make cars significantly safer by avoiding the accident in the first place.

I prefer having a car that helps me not having an accident than worrying too much about what would happen in a bad enough accident.
That's right. You will end up having a bill of $14/month in total instead of $29 for the basic plan. TinyStore doesn't offer much customization atm. You can add pages, announcement banner, logo and social handles. With more feedback from users, I can improve the store with more features in the future.
It's odd because I've read that before and made an assumption that it was talking about AAC mastering, but it only implies that. There's nothing that comes out and says what they want! There are some parts where they suggest higher fidelity sources, but mostly it comes down to:

Apple Digital Masters Droplet
You can use the Apple Digital Masters Droplet to automate the creation of 256 kbps

AAC encodes.

There isn't actually anything about what you're supposed to send them, only the recommendation to use their tooling which seems geared to produce 256k AAC files.
No they are not. Product listings are not marketing, now you are reaching at straws. Technically they could be considered marketing, yes, but in practice that isn't what people talk about when they discuss marketing. Bringing that up in a discussion about ethics of marketing is bad faith.

This primarily affects professionals dealing with the IRS.

Individuals have been migrated a few times and a few different logins.

IRS had a "get transcript" service. It had things like super secure passwords and password rotations, but password reset and setup could be done with social security + some real basic info from credit reports (ie, where did you live etc) and didn't not timeout.

So think - 100's of thousands of fake accounts for the hackers, and pain for the real users.

That's pretty common in the US for govt systems - the password reset process is often ridiculously easy because some systems have so many reset requests you can't function with anything careful.

Imagine folks in govt - 10 systems, 90 day password rollover and there was a move for a while to 12 character passwords with no reuse and upper / lower / special / numbers (but special characters are limited so password generators often error out). It got so bad there was one reset process that was outsourced to a third party AND all you had to provide was the username which was derived from the users full name. They then gave you a new password over the phone. It was honestly easier to reset then even fight the system. You have a new intern whose forgotten their password, IT just calls reset help desk for a new one.

The security problems in all this are

1) reset process so weak

2) everyone - and I mean everyone, writes these passwords down in a text file on computer

3) because new account setup can be ridiculously long - a fair bit of password sharing, so these passwords tend to end up all over the place (training documents etc etc) which then of course end up online somewhere.

I could go on.

I'll ignore the ad hominem parts of your comment.

If I borrow a share and sell it, I can later borrow it again and sell it again.

That is recursion.

When it hits a base case -- eg, I get liquidated -- all of those shorts have to be simultaneously covered. Doing so can create a stronger bid than the float of the asset.

> no, we don't. no more than of any other failure to terminate a loop.

A loop that can be done in-place, or in constant space, is less space-complex than a recursive function that cannot. Surely you have had situations where writing a top-down recursive function requires more memory than achieving the same result with a bottom-up recursive function, or vice versa. That doesn't happen with an iterative loop where I can better characterize the space required a priori.

There is no rule in Regulation SHO preventing market-makers from selling a greater number of shares than the float, and there is no rule preventing any short-seller from borrowing and selling the entire float multiple times over.
Using hanging indents works regardless of whether one uses spaces or tabs. But trying to align text based on the indentation of the opening parenthesis (of it's on the same line as the method name) pretty much only works well with just spaces.
