He is not the leader/owner of the project freenode. Freenode the project has moved to libera.chat.

Lee owns Freenodes servers and user data - althought illegitimately. You can't buy the ownership of a volunteer project like that.
I lost one of my fingers when i was a child, so after getting used to it i don't experience sadness when i look at it. That statement also checks out for four, in this case.
But not all. Most NFTs are worth nothing too.
I've been away from IRC drama for so long. The idea of people fighting over IRC channels, trying to strongarm maintain ownership of them is just so cringeworthy now (nuking channels that advertise an alternative network, holy hell). Sad little king of a sad little hill.
Without any evidence matching their claims, of course.
There were a lot of drivers who will not work with new windows versions. Due for examples of changes in things expectedv in the inf file or the registry. Installing drivers in windows was a lot of pain.
A lot of wars in history have been won by invaders who chose near total genocide of the male population of annexed territories.

Many nations opposed by a military-superior enemy have lost no matter their sense of righteousness.

The Vietnamese won because they managed to inflict sufficiently large number of American casualties that the US lost the will to war. Some folks say wars are won by logistics and not tactics. But it seems that Vietcong guerrilla tactics were far superior to American ones at the time.

All credit to them. To be honest, few nations could have managed this. In that era they were likely the most battle-hardened people in the world.
Reverse of cause and effect. Social media use is the effect.
Master List of Logical Fallacies (2018)
Actually show the time. If the hub lacks an internet connection, the screen prompts you to get one and will no longer show time.
Regarding the sustainability argument, there is actually pretty solid evidence from previous trials that it it does not dis-incentivise work. It's worthwhile reading Rutger Bregman's "Utopia for Realists", many people do not now that it was Nixon of all people who wanted to implement a UBI, in the initial voting the democrats rejected it because they thought it was too low (and likely also because they did not want to give Nixon a "win", yay for a 2 party adverserial system).

It's also telling how the opposition against UBI formed (largely driven by one of his advisors). The argument were framed largely around lazyness, i.e. people become lazy. A significant motivation for the opposition is that some of the studies found that divorces increased (likely because women didn't feel tied to a relationship because of financial dependencies), which was ideologically incompatible with conservatives.

Another interesting point is that similar arguments to the "UBI is paying for itself" is used by conservatives when it comes to tax breaks. They are always assumed to pay for themselves because of increased economic activity. Both of these are likely wrong (well actually the tax one has been shown to be wrong many times).
This is often misunderstood about socialism. I am not against people owning stuff. The problem is, owning a factory (a company) is not owning just the physical assets, it's also owning the social structure (the workers and managers employed, their know-how, the customers..) that makes the factory work. That's what I see problematic, because it involves other people, and telling them what to do.

In other words, private ownership of capital is objectionable, and not private ownership.
But does it actually do anything? Apps can surely identify users by other means, e.g. IP, behaviour...
I agree. Though, in the context where I do mention this, I was pointing out the worst case that is easy to demonstrate a breach of. Spotify employee in correspondence made the mistake (and I mean this in the more business sense, as I personally find it refreshing that a correspondence is honest, rather than filled with protective legalese) of suggesting that the API would be trivial to reactivate, and thus making a case for it to be a case of causing an undue delay if not doing so. Without that, proving "undue delay" is not an easy thing to do.

Breach of this is not easy to prove, and I think that if this was to reach the court, it would be easily be dismissed if the user had their data transferred (in any form that can be processed, and not necessarily whatever was part of the original API spec) within 30 days.

Proving that undue delay was caused, is a much higher bar to meet. Again, less high due to the correspondence in question.
I did not arrive at same presumption after reading the parent comment. Just to be able to get in touch with world leaders is already too much power for a single man, even without the puppetry aspect.
It's always the case that when I present these arguments above to FP devs, they respond with personal insults instead of counter-arguments. This suggests that they know my arguments are accurate but they are too invested in FP and are in denial - It's emotional, so they respond emotionally.

You shouldn't think of it like "I've been fooled and wasted all this time on FP". You should think about it like "I gave FP a thorough analysis over several years and it was a worthwhile experiment which didn't work out but I learned a lot from it".

I also spent quite a lot of time working with and reading FP code over the last 15 years. That's why I can criticize it with confidence today. It was not a waste.
Thoughts on IHME “Estimation of total mortality due to Covid-19”
Encouraging, maybe it will be accepted by the slowpokes in governments I won't name. Even with a recent positive antibodies test I still had to get negative CV tests.

Yes, exactly. Multics actually tried, here's a memo from 1974 discussing the issue:

Paged shared libraries, signalling by ramping up and down CPU usage, there are an enormous number of possible covert channels.
Video conferencing reduces vocal synchrony and collective intelligence
Why?

I want politicians to post on whatever people are using to get information. Almost nobody I know my age is regularly watching the news on TV, or checking the local paper's website. They might have other channels, but they certainly don't have other channels with the same reach.
Self-censorship is the wrong response. Libera is the real Freenode community, just under a different name now.
If anything removed any doubt about whether we should have moved to libera, this is it. There is no going back now, you've erased any trust that I or any project members had for "freenode".

Our channel was still moderated by all of our original project staff while recommending other members move.

To say that "many of these channels were simply wildly unmoderated and closed" to justify an indiscriminate automated action is ridiculous.

Communication wouldn't have saved you.
Indian government has been requesting WhatsApp to do this since 2018(or earlier?). In 2019 someone has tweeted that Facebook is embedding tracking data inside the photos.

Involvenment in policy (re agriculture, environment, Africa, vaccine, etc), sponsoring "think tanks" and symposiums, controlling policy through "charity", etc. is not a "market need".
Many here at HN are financially literate, or at least conscious. Is that some sort of innate knowledge? No. You've learned and honed this new intuition, to think in terms of resources you have, can acquire, spend or invest. Climate and environment are no different, and you don't feel guilt over doing you finances either.

Its just being conscious of how you spend or create ecological resources, that's all. I find it even fun! (More fun than investing, and my financial ineptitude sometimes feels like something I should feel guilty about.)

> Good phones are getting cheap. Cheap phones are getting good. -Someone who is not me

Marques Brownlee aka MKBHD and even he admitted that's not the case anymore.

Good phones are getting more and more expensive. A flagship used to cost $700 5 years ago, now it's $1000+.

Cheap phones are getting good, but not at the rate that good phones are getting more expensive.

> For what it's worth I'm still daily driving LG G2 and it's legit still fast, sure sometimes it's a bit sleepy but it's still more then usable!

A quick Googling tells me your phone is from 2013 and can only be updated to Android 5. Your phone is either:

* horrendously out of date and insecure

* using a custom ROM (which I, for one, and many others probably too, don't want to do)

* not used for any kind of internet facing activity (another thing that I and others don't want to do)

Also, you probably have a very low bar for usability and speed. With modern OSes and sites, that phone would probably be extremely slow and laggy for my (and many others') usage.

Your phone uses a Snapdragon 800 which probably has 10-15% (maybe 20-25% if I'm being generous) of the performance of a modern Snapdragon. Phones are not desktops/laptops, where performance levels plateaued in 2005.
I think Julia actually does a pretty good job of showing that the problem isn't types. The problem is semantics. Julia's restriction is eval to the global scope is a perfect example of this. It has a pretty minor on code, but a massive effect on performance. Python has a ton of things like this where a slightly different (and totally breaking) semantic change prevents optimization.
Or, better still, pick one but create channels on both - the other one just to tell people where the primary channel is. Or even to carry discussion on both simultaneously, until you reach the decision.

Do that to prevent a hostile party from doing it before you.
Eh, I'll be doing that. They're useful for more than Covid. I hate getting a cold or the flu (especially in a workplace where people are forced to come in, even sick), but a mask somehow makes you look insane/paranoid or sick yourself. I hope they'll become more acceptable.
Why would you guess that?

Iewould have thought they would spend it advertising to those in Belarus.IIts propaganda for domestic consumption.
>but actually bill gates isn’t very involved at all in electoral politics and as far as i know doesn’t really donate

That's because electoral politics are a sham. He'll get his way with the one or the other candidate/party anyway, and his reach and policy influence is global...
You're right, snap decisions are the best... don't bother to get input or even really consider your options. Just flip a coin and yolo it, right?
It's still limited edition in that there's only one first minting of an NFT, and with the blockchain you can tell whose is which.
Every single software engineer contract I've seen in my career had something about 'providing consulting services' in it.

But it comes down to personal comfort zone. Someone who tries to get a coder job is comfortable with coding, but may not be comfortable with doing electric installations, which clearly is not in the job description - and I would expect any of my team to tell me to go fish when I come to them with 400 meters of copper cables and a screwdriver.

Women who are on that platform obviously are comfortable with the idea of exchanging sexual favours with clients. They may have limits on certain practices, and they probably would not be comfortable doing something icky and morally corrupt as coding.

Moral is something very subjective, and I consider it pretentious for someone to push their own morals on others. If the people involved in that platform are ok with this, if they do these transactions out of their own volition, it is obviously wrong to send a sharia morality police after them because some grandma or some priest might be offended.
Basically it‘s just one huge meme. Like an autograph has no „intrinsic“ value, people still want them and they can be traded for money as well.
Clearly, you are not a citizen of a nation who has been the target of one of the US's efforts. Crippling sanctions, extra-ordinary hypocrisy and outright lies/propaganda in the name of 'freedom', support of hard-core and insane terrorists as 'freedom-fighting' rebels, etc.
It insane how people/media outlets simply ignored what has happened in our past.

We had many pandemics. Why should this virus now be radically different? Our immune system would not have survived so long if we kept getting critically sick from virii our system has seen before.

Needs updating, "tu quoque" being the modern "whataboutery". Doesn't have "no true Scotsman" and the "appeal to authority" is a bit buried.
Agreed. It will be easier to see which one people prefers as well.

(I mean, it's an IRC channel, the servers might diverge in features and reliability but there's usually not much difference)
Laws don't really work in countries like Russia or Belarus. Vague laws that encompass anything under the sun + complete lack of judiciary independence means that laws are whatever Lukashenko, Putin, or a careerist prosecutor (who needs convictions) wants them to be in a particular case. There is a saying in Russian speaking countries "Был бы человек, а статья найдётся" which can be roughly translated as "For every man, there's a law to convict him under".
I wear masks outside, because sometimes I encounter a bus stop where the entire volume of the bus exits exactly where and when I happen to be walking.

Also, a mask, like wearing trousers, is a trivial cost.

I still will wear one after being vaccinated, because I expect the effects to be multipliers: 80% protection from a vaccine and 90% from a mask is 1-(1-0.8)(1-0.9) = 98% protection.

As far as I can tell, their policies say nothing about the contents of the #topic.

But as of 8 hours ago, the policies do say that if a primary channel closes access to users then freenode will close the #primary channel and forward to the ##topical channel.
He's butt hurt, freenode's "policy" is just a red herring. Tt feels dishonest to me to pretend any other explanation makes sense.
I'm not sure about that. Information that is saved about a user might be more security-relevant than what someone - they or someone who hacked their account - might see in their account.

It clearly is something I would not want to have hours of meetings with legal council about, so I can see why some organisations may err on the safer side.
After being confronted with footage on the issue I was also surprised to not see white Karens and Karls being the perpetrators but black folks.
Indeed, in France, if you had COVID within a certain time period, one jab counts as fully vaccinated.

Who knows what, if any, differences there are in long-term immunity, but so far, infection + 1 vaccine is looking like it produces very good immunity, even against known variants and even against the original SARS. In a petri dish anyway.
I really need you to introduce you to Jester, my toy functional programming language. It compiles down to pure lambda calculus (data structures are implemented with Scott-Mogensen encoding) and then down to C that uses nothing but function calls and assignments of pointers to struct fields. The logic and arithmetic are all implemented in the standard library: a Bool is a function that takes 2 continuations, a Byte is 8 Bool, an Int is 4 Byte, addition uses the good old ripple-carry algorithm, etc.

Reading the disassembly of the resulting program is pretty unhelpful: any function consists entirely of putting values from the fields of the passed-in structures into the fields of new structures and (tail)calling another function and passing it some mix of old/new structures.
That was my point. Your blanket statement of "Make sure you have permission to email a recipient." was not correct in all cases
> Viet Cong meet the enemy face-to-face, most likely in the Mekong Delta or Plain of Reeds. This rare image shows both sides in combat, ARVN soldiers at the top and Viet Cong in the foreground. The VC have flanked the enemy at left and right, which likely meant the ARVN unit was wiped out.

This photo is a well known to be staged.

Makes me doubt the authenticity of everything else.
Out of curiosity, what was the number (and unit) you got, and which antibodies were tested?

I still had antibodies in March, 1 year after having Covid, but the doctors didn’t want to say if the level was indicative of immunity or not...
It seems like the years of power created some kind reality distortion field around him so that he don't see all the futility of his attempts to look good. There is no escape from "dictator vs.freedom fighter" narrative. The dictator is always bad nevermind the net effect of his years in power. The freedom fighter is always good and no insinuations about him beign paid by foreing agencies or turning his country into war or just chaos would change that.
You're picking an IRC server, not your favourite kid.

Bike shedding is real.
Well, in this case the description is in the very first line of the page:

> "We introduce the topic of robotics, the recent history, why we need robots and the future of robots."

And based in the titles of the videos, it seems to be more about "history" of robotics than actual implementation - it's pretty clear.
i would be flabbergasted if this NFT thing actually turns out to be profitable. But weirder things have happened before lol
The artist needs to confirm this. For example, many artists selling on Hicetnunc[1] will put their Tezos wallet address as a link in their Twitter bio. If you spot an artwork that looks like theirs minted by a different address, it’s likely a “copymint” (typically seen as worth no value).

There are other blockchain/crypto art projects that use the chain itself to store data; such as Autoglyphs[2], which is essentially a first of its kind generative artwork on Ethereum coded entirely within the Solidity smart contract. In this case there is no question about the authenticity; you simply look at that contract address and the tokens it initiated.

Anybody producing real world „limited edition“ merch could in theory produce it again, so this is no different here.

I guess it‘s some form of „trust“ between the issuer and the buyer.

Or the 2nd NFT wouldn‘t be as memey anymore and thus not worth as much.

(It would probably be worth more the first time in reality, since issuing an NFT twice is not „supposed to happen“, so there would be some novelty to it, and I guess novelty is part of what drives the prices. See also Banksy‘s image that actually increased in value after it got publicly shredded by a built-in mechanism after being auctioned off.)
Calls it into question? I'd suggest a mass resignation would call it into question. This just proves they were right to resign.
Yes, this sounds somewhat logical... if i think about this: Under stress i am really, really good at what i do, but under "normal" circumstances? Mostly mediocre to really bad.
I feel like implementing the DNS name decompression algorithm would be a grueling interview question
Until now my weechat was connected to freenode and libera, but this simplifies it for me: freenode is out. I recommend anyone to do the same and switch fully to libera: it's best for the IRC community if freenode dies a swift death.

Similarly I’ve engaged with financial experts online. Conversation goes:

Me: “but this is a giant bubble! None of this is intrinsically valuable! You’re buying to sell! A huge crash will wipe you out!”

Them: “you must be new around here... there is always a bubble, the key is riding it as long as you can safely do so.”

I found this so enlightening. I wonder if economic cycles are a result of this thinking.
It think that the discussions on HN tend to be quite combative, and members of the Julia community (including myself) can get a bit worked up over negative claims that we find overly sweeping. That could lead to some dismissiveness.

I do get frustrated by characterizations of the interests of the Julia community that are very broad, and are also in evidence here. E.g. somewhere upthread one person claimed Julians are only interested in Jupyter Notebook workflows, which is a totally alien statement to me. Jupyter doesn't seem to have a very large mindshare as far as I can tell, I've never even tried it myself.

Static compilation and analysis comes up regularly on Discourse, but among the scientist part of the community, there is naturally less emphasis on this. Please don't extrapolate too far based on some isolated interactions.
> At the time, Apple owned 50% of ARM.

Nope, Apple never owned 50% of ARM.

> ARM, the company only existed because Apple wanted them to manufacture a CPU for it's Newton project.

Who knows what would have happened had Apple not invested but Apple was never ARM's only customer.

> While Apple might not have designed the ARM610, but they technically owned it.

If I own some Apple shares reasonably sure that doesn't mean that "technically" I own the M1.
If you want a harder guarantee, well written numerical code will be as fast as any other language. If you find a counter example, let us know (it's probably something that should be fixed).

For string processing and other gc heavy code, Julia has further to go. Julia's gc is pretty basic, and needs a lot of love. That said, for dataframes like workloads, Julia usually manages to hand with the best (data.table), and it's rarely much slower.
I've been following the evolution of GUI bindings/native solutions in Go for a while now, and unfortunately all attempts at "Go-native" GUIs like this one have stalled long before they could achieve even a small fraction of the functionality of "established" frameworks like Qt or GTK (although I'm not sure that's even a goal for this project). That said, I wish them (and the other projects which are still active) good luck...
It is worse than that. Your story is not statically relevant, but it is in line with the OP so it is relevant and interesting. However they cannot stomach anything that contradicts their new religion. I like you LOL attitude towards those losers.
I've been trying hard to keep people from making rash decisions about moving, since I have read enough to know that there is some amount of duplicity on both sides of this split, and we were playing a waiting game for the truth to come out and help us make a more informed decision. I do not support morality police, and all we had to do was wait out the momentum. There was some censorship on libera, but what you have done here has made all of my efforts to aid Freenode totally indefensible. You have made a grevious strategic error.
They don't provide anyway to mark memory as executable.
Sorry but isn't this a message board on a VC website?
You might be defining "our" differently. You're correct worldwide. The GP is probably correct if they're talking of their home country. Only 30 countries in the world have any nuclear powerplants, with a median of about 20%. e.g. US and Russia are at that level.
the number of software developers aged 55 to 64 years increased from 87,000 (8.3%) in 2011 to 195,000 (10.7%) in 2019 in the USA.

But given how much the overall pool has grown, that isn't the relevant stat.

The relevant stat is how many developers aged 45 to 54 in 2011 are STILL EMPLOYED in the field? That's where you see the ageism.

In other industries, not that many people voluntarily abandon a career path at 45 for another industry.
