Oh, I feel you! CS is one of those games where, at least with regards to weapon balance, it's in such a good spot that the community actively doesn't want many changes. Most people are also content with the same 7 maps and don't play new ones when they're added.
Still, I think seeing a proper map rotation with competitive seasons would be really cool, especially since the community makes so many high quality maps!
A bit more could be done to battle cheaters though, as those have been getting very bad in the last few months once again.

Definite agree on the watchability, CS is the only e-sport I really watch the big tournaments for, they just nailed the aspect of it being easy to understand and creating a lot of high-adrenaline moments.
Nominal inflation is fairly well hidden from people. The prices of most goods remain relatively static, or at least stay within a narrow band over an annual cycle. Producers have contracts for fixed prices on inputs and often outputs, so their prices are often fixed for a term. Frosted Flakes may remain $3.99 a box for five years, while a price increase to $4.49 is introduced gradually through sales and promotions.

So if people are experiencing inflation in the short term, that's notable.

Now, it's important to differentiate between inflation due to supply constraints vs. inflation due to long-term cost increases on inputs. For example, lumber is hella expensive right now, but it's probably not going to remain at the levels it is at in the long term. Whereas the cost increases of corn might be permanent.
> Do we need to go out in the streets?

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. We should get used to the idea that the work continues around the clock - it's not nearly enough to get to the streets (unless you're getting a full-scale revolution, with entering government buildings, choosing representatives right there, on the streets, giving them the mandate for changes etc. - that's a different story). We need to keep the work with convincing "silent majority", lobbying for changes at existing representatives and promoting those new deputies which maintain that they'll work to make those changes into laws.

It's a lot of work, patient, tedious work, but it's something which can and should be done in developed democracies of the day to further improve the life of people. We still have class wars, and different sides have different strong sides.
>What the government has done in the last year with its $10+ trillion in stimulus, is the exact definition of dropping money from helicopters and yet no one is pointing this out.

Well, kinda. It's like you're only flying the helicopters over company headquarters and LA's suburbs and nowhere else.

The stimulus checks and increased unemployment can be considered helicopter money from a practical perspective though because it reached everyone. It would be even better to spend it on infrastructure or building housing but you have to do something...
I think it’s sad that Lenna had to go, with vague arguments of sexism. She’s a photo model. Most photo models are women, because that’s the reality we live in. I would have thought it cute that my (tiny) country is represented in these contexts, but no, she was a beautiful woman and that’s sexist to use as a test subject.
You'd be rubbing it into the top layer of skin, which is dead skin cells. The part that gets burned is living, and is lower.
VSC has tons of customizations available, perhaps even beating Vim in the number of exposed configurations. The problem with Vim configurations is that a lot of them feel obvious, and the ergonomics of dealing with configs is painful and frequently calls you to reference outside material.
Ha, I love the color idea.
Yeah I'd just settle for not-racist-caricature, looking at you Mickey Rooney
We have seen massive inflation in asset prices. Just look at housing and the stock market, both of which took off after the Financial Crisis. This is the primary cause of the massive income inequality we see these days, because poor people can't afford houses and stocks but upper middle class and wealthy people can and do.
> There was a golden era of reddit right before the great Digg migration

I've been longing for this lately. Even the more interest specific subreddits have gotten noticeably worse and borderline toxic. It feels like it's shifted from a culture of sharing and discussing niche topics or current events with some goofy humor to a slightly more dignified YouTube comment section
Well printing it and putting it into circulation causes inflation. If you give Bill Gates $1Tn and he hides it under his mattress, that does not cause inflation.
I like that they thought about that, in a lot of shows and movies you see ships in space where gravity may not exist at times with no visible way for people to move themselves around under zero-g, so its refreshing when a show puts in the work to create a set that looks usable in space.
This is a really good idea. I will collect more data points definitely !

Yeah the Quest even added USB 2 support.
So what would they know that we don't? Hedge fund and industry analysts also pay a lot of attention to domestic and international production. Even stuff like public company shareholders meetings have a lot of insight.

The issue I would be more concerned with is the overall structure of the economy. For example, only 15% of money lending goes to actual production use. The other 85% is just a house of cards that is lending to be lent again, or invested in nonproductive ways. Basically moneylending inception.

So my point as it applies to this example: the email indexing program could communicate towards the rss program using cpu or storage load spikes. And no widely used multitasking OS tries to prevent this.
This is interesting. As someone who's been reading literature related to WebAuthn and FIDO2, I was very much curiously looking at various vault designs that stored secrets away (either ed-dsa identity subkeys or 25519-dh encryption subkeys) other than in FIDO2-certified server-vaults or user-held FIDO2 keys.

From among the designs that looked decent to my untrained eye (not a cryptographer) were that of Apple's and Signal's [0]. The thing they had in common was they wanted to gatekeep attempts to brute-force (one half of the) the secret they stored on behalf of the user, via either binding them in HSMs or secure enclaves.

Keybase instead do what they call TripleSec [1], which seems like a cheaper solution compared to Apple's / Signal's, and relies on multi-cipher encryption scheme to thwart brute-force attempts.

One area that I've been increasingly looking at is OPRF (Oblivious Pseudo Random Functions) [2] and the use-cases it may enable, especially in replacing the HSMs or secure enclaves whilst retaining similar properties against brute-force attacks.

> Discord works perfectly fine as a simple webpage

It has a webapp, but it does not work "perfectly fine" in my experience. The UX is bewilderingly complex; it took me several minutes to figure out how to make it stop ringing more bells and whistles than a las vegas casino. I had a hard time even figuring out what symbols were meant to be buttons that get clicked; even finding the settings screen was a pain in the ass. It's truly awful.
The headline confuses me: If that large proportion were 'tightening their belts', economic activity would decline and there would be no inflation. An inflation headline would be, '83% of Americans are buying new cars/computers/homes/washer-dryers' or '83% of Americans have borrowed more than last year'. Inflation is an excess of economic activity - too much money for the available truly valuable investments. It's people buying cryptographic strings, hoping they will go up in value, and the values nominally going up because so many are buying it.

I doubt 83% of Americans know what inflation is, much less know about the current debates around it or understand its effects. I question whether 83% could be reacting to reports of inflation.

Inflation has been turned into a bad word, but the post-Great Recession era of near-nil inflation is the anomaly. Generally, through most of my life of reading economists, a low level of inflation (e.g, 2-3%) is considered the healthiest state.

I think part of it is politicization: Whenever someone talks about government spending or stimulus, particularly around the Great Recession in 2008 and the Coronavirus pandemic, people who advocate for small government use inflation risk as an argument against it. My feeling is that has created two conditions: 1) the stopped clock is eventually right, and 2) they've built up inflation as so much of a demon that people are afraid of it.

The direct effects of inflation are to help people with lots of fixed debt and inflationary income, because your debt of 100,000 is still 100,000 while your income inflates from e.g., 50,000 to 52,000. And it similarly hurts people with lots of fixed income or assets. The indirect effects are complicated, but again, a low level of inflation - higher than recent experience - has long been considered optimal.
You seem clearly passionate, but also confused.

First off, I am not affiliated with freenode or libera. I am just an unrelated guy who happens to use IRC. I am not offering any money to anyone for any IRC related things.

Secondly, you claimed that it is not possible to buy communities or goodwill. This does not match what I have witnessed in life. Communities get bought all the time, e.g. Facebook buying Instagram. Goodwill also gets bought all the time, often by making a giant donation and then running a giant PR campaign to let everyone know about the good deed. Distributed organic communities like freenode aren't immune to this, as I showed by pointing out that I, a long time freenode user, would be willing to accept payment.

> Keep in mind in the early days of Python it was pushed by Google.

You know Python is older than Google by several years right? ;) When this happened, Python was older than Rust today.

> That is more of a push than any company ever did for Rust.

Microsoft recently made Rust a officially language for developing Windows Native apps[1] and they've advertised the use of the language quite a bit during the past year. Google just released its new operating system developed with as much Rust as C and C++ combined[2]. Also, Facebook and AWS have hired members of the Rust development team after Mozilla's layoff last year to continue their work on Rust.

I'm sure you mean well are are just trying to help, but please be very very careful when repeating claims like this. You could also make it clear and indicate what the articles actually assert as fact (versus just reporting data) to avoid confusing the lay public. The differences between what we know, what we suspect, what we think is likely, etc are nuanced and subject to being misunderstood.
None of these links are authoritative, they’re just NPC left activism.

I used “NPC left” to differentiate from the “reasonable left”. The people who follow folks like AOC and Ilhan Omar, as opposed to the more mainstream moderate left. Nothing to do with right wing or alt-right anything. And I am not even going to entertain this stupid white supremacist lie that folks of a certain activist persuasion love to fling at everyone and everything with no basis whatsoever. That’s not a thing, and you need to join the rest in coming to terms with the fact that narrative is completely manufactured nonsense. Hopefully you weren’t one of the many who fell for the CNN hoax about the white supremacist catholic kids supposedly antagonizing the indigenous man, but after that happening repeatedly, it should give you pause before believing claims like this.

Nevermind that “NPC” doesn’t even appear in your links, so this is some massive goalpost shifting.

One of them even says “snowflake” is an alt-right white supremacist word. Is anybody still supposed to take this shit seriously?

AMD recently patented their DLSS competitor (albeit with a really dumb name, "Radeon Gaming Super Resolution").[1]

Unless the rubbing process transmutes it into other elements (congrats on the Nobel, if so!) the zinc is still presumably there. The outer layers of your skin are dead cells; you're looking to protect the underlying dermis.
People like the idea of a truly free market because it creates competition and reduces homogeneity which generally creates more adaptability and freedom of choice in various situations for consumers. With Amazon owning everything they will no longer have competition because they will continue raking in money until they have enough buying power to crush anyone who opposes them and there will no longer be any diversity of companies performing the same services in the marketplace so if you don't like Amazon's way then you just have to go pound sand. Also, as they get more money, they'll start lobbying the government to create more corruption as they dodge taxes in other countries etc. There's lots more problems but if you play the board game Monopoly towards the end when one or two people are taking all the money, that's basically what it creates in real life.
Bob marley died of skin cancer, and he was certainly tan.

There is a documented difference between caucasians and other races with skin cancer rates:

"[skin cancer] represents ~ 35–45% of all neoplasms in Caucasians, 4–5% in Hispanics, 2–4% in Asians, and 1–2% in Blacks."

What strikes me about this is that it's only caucasians that have elevated rates here. Many asians are light skinned but score similarly here to blacks. While it is tempting to conclude melanin offers protection and that is one theory laid out in this paper, I think there are confounding variables here that elevate the risk among caucasion populations relative to Asian populations that have about the same skin tones.

I just wish Vim had proper S-expression structural editing support. Many editors have vim support but very few have smartparens/paredit with good integration. If Vim can extend its language to include some basic structural editing, then writing any type of tag based code e.g. JSX would become much more pleasant. For example in VS Code's Flutter plugin there is support for "delete surrounding widget" and "wrap child widget in new widget". They just need better keybinding integration.
My biggest issue with the visual aspects of The Expanse is one that I don't think can be fixed.

The story is set approximately 3-400 years in the future. All of the technology, however, looks, if not immediately familiar, then more or less "around the corner from now".

Go back to 1621, and imagining projecting a future 2021 based on "minor tweaks to what we're using now". Clearly, it would be absolutely nothing remotely like the actual 2021 that we live in.

I enjoy the Expanse a lot, but if there are humans around in 2400 or so who get a chance to see it again, I'm fairly sure they will be besides themselves with laughter at its "vision" for their time.
Stretch it to 36, and that is four not-all-that short words, at 4× 9 = 36 letters. Form and function! :-)

So it gets monstrous only from five words upwards or so... But still, I think I may by sheer coincidence have come up with a heuristic (that I'm somewhat proud of): The more convoluted the logic = the longer the code needed to express it ==> the longer a name it "deserves".
Inflating the money supply wouldn't do what you describe. It would just make everything more expensive.
> Treasury can't just set a price and expect people to pay

The Federal Reserve is the largest purchaser of UST, so effectively yes, they can. As long as QE is happening, and as long as the rest of the world doesn't stop calling USTs "risk-free assets", it won't ever stop. If somehow the US loses its grip on that status, though, all bets are off.

This is cool! Curious if you'd be interested in doing a more formal anonymity audit of OnionCat+IPFS? AFAIK, the main hesitancy in making more of these capabilities broadly available is a potential mismatch between _expectations_ of privacy from a TOR+IPFS solution vs real-world constraints on reader/writer privacy for a distributed p2p system.
Indeed! It's the visitor pattern and since we're talking about a tree that would probably be useful here.

Those are the questions to ask the client.

Discussion of money is an integral part of preparing a proposal.

It is also the touchstone of client relations.

Your expectation of payment is at least as important as the client’s expectation for project completion.

They will do whatever it takes to prevent asset price deflation in general. The last thing politicians want is people watching their 401k values go down, and they certainly want them to go up.

As far as I’m concerned, VTI is a better inflation protected security than TIPS for any 3+ year investment horizon.

One man's clickbait apparently is another man's succinct and accurate summary.
Are you asking about decentralized applications or applications that use various blockchains? Because the two are very different.

I still know of no transfer technology that is superior to BitTorrent. No better internet protocol than TCP/IP and HTTP. Scuttlebutt is running the best social network. Tor still holds the candle for best VPN. Even Microsoft use p2p technology for distributing OS updates ("Delivery Optimization" they call it). Matrix seems to be gaining ground in the chatting space as well and will be P2P at one point.

So no, I don't think it's overrated. I think a lot of applications could actually be made better with a P2P or local-first mindset.
I'd try nixpkgs before trying pkgsrc if for some reason I wasn't satisfied with ones that come with the distro. Not sure why BSDfying packages is desirable by itself.
I'm not sure I'd say that it beats vim/neovim, but I agree with your point about ergonomics. I would say the vim manual is a fantastic resource, I've never felt the need to reference outside material.

Neovim has already integrated many of the "obvious defaults" (see :help nvim-defaults), but if you're a user and feel that something is missed you should file an issue.

I personally don't mind that the defaults may not be what I'd like, as once they are set, I spend very little time modifying my system configuration. I realize this can be a barrier to new users though.

Ask HN: Is this a scummy domain selling practice by GoDaddy? (double-dipping)
I'm interested in a domain and the WHOIS record indicates that GoDaddy is the current owner of it. I navigate to their site, search for the domain, and the result indicates that I need to pay for their 'Domain Broker Service' $120 upfront in order to even begin negotiating the purchase, and another 20% commission upon purchase. I cannot even see the price without paying this broker's fee. This strikes me as greedy double-dipping since they're on record as owning the domain.

Am I right to be peeved by this? Do I have any recourse?
MGM hasn't been much of an "active" studio since the 90s, seemingly on a long slow decline shutting down active projects. After key studio retirements, MGM has seemed to be okay with mostly just being a holding company and surviving off of almost nothing but it's relationship with EON Productions leaving them the distributer of James Bond films and royalties from (re)releases from their back catalog.

If Amazon is buying them to be an active studio, they've made entirely the wrong choice. (Amazon is probably buying them entirely for their deep back catalog and IP. Which is why they were up for sale in the first place.)
> which verb makes the most sense

I think that's a valid discussion. Each method has specific semantics in the HTTP spec, and consumers of an API (both automated and human) will expect you to follow them.

For example, I expect to be able to retry a PUT request without much concern. But if I'm not able to do that then that's a problem that would have been worth a discussion.
