Well, because I'm having to install third party pieces which may or may not break stuff, may or may not be supported for long, may or may not break on the next update, in order to achieve a base level of configurability which it seems like DE designers don't want you to have in the first place.

Maybe they fixed things in the last few years, I have no idea, but last time I had to use Gnome 3 it broke existing DE muscle memory of using all sorts of environments across all sorts of platforms, and made it hard to discover how to change anything. Having to then install third party pieces to achieve minor change is not something I feel is an adequate replacement, particularly coming from systems where easy, built-in configurability comes as standard.

Again, if that all sounds fine to you, more power to you. To me it's an opinionated DE that tries its best to push its own ideas of usage on the user, and hides any/all options behind an API rather than exposing them to the user by default.

Why would I bother with such a DE when I can find one that supports what I want to do out of the box?
Back in '78 or so, my first computer was a hand-assembled Nascom I (2MHz Z80)[0] with 1kb of RAM. No assemblers, no disk drives, not even a cassette tape. Just a keyboard and a simple ROM that let you load hex values in memory. The low-res video display was memory-mapped, so after much study of circuit diagrams,the Mostek Z80 manual and the ROM I got to understand memory addressing, where the screen was and how the hardware worked. So my first Z80 program was just 3 instructions entered as hex opcodes; all it did was splat an asterisk on the screen but what a buzz I got at the time :)

ld a,2a # Load ASCII '*' in to acc
ld hl,d80 # Set HL to point to video-mapped RAM
ld (hl),a # Put character on screen.

Some years later I wrote one of the first multi-user games, picked up by British Telecom to run on their Prestel/Micronet network. By that time I've graduated to 4MHz Z80s, with home-made 2MB RAM disks and 256Kb of main RAM accessed with a crude TTL MMU; we got up to 64 users per Z80, albeit accessing the system via 1200/75 baud modems.

Moralist principles aren't really my issue here. Its kinda sad that animals suffer but I understand that not many people care about that. My issue is the massive ecological harm done by eating other animals compared to eating plants.

Climate change and ecosystem collapse are real, concrete problems that are coming home to roost, and I find it incredibly sad that educated, prosperous people don't do the bare minimum they could to reduce these problems.
I guess I'm just lucky; my plan has a high premium, high deductible, and no HSA.
That's interesting - I've never seen a Datadog dashboard used like this. Quite powerful.
and once you do it seems like a really big deal, but really, it's not

do you mean to say "its not a big deal" or "its ends up not being a big deal to most people" ?

it was a little ambiguius to me what was being implied...
Not just "technical acumen" - the clients are designed to connect to multiple networks and treat them equally. Literally nothing about my user experience is different now that I'm no longer logged into Freenode.

Non-technical users have the same sort of experience e.g. switching cell phone providers (provided your area has number portability), switching between subreddits, etc., and those moves definitely happen.
Israel is not unique in this regard. Lots of US allies live with hostile neighbors and poor human rights records.

Besides, Israel's support for gay rights and feminism is hardly universal. Spend some time in an orthodox neighborhood if you don't believe me.
Yes it’s generally frowned upon to have more business expenses than revenue for multiple years in a row.

But claiming your home office (a part of your home explicitly used for work) as a business expense is definitely not tax fraud.

You can’t claim your kitchen tho.
You can look at the EEG spectrogram or calculate its spectral entropy. When you think hard, it resembles white noise and has high entropy. If you close your eyes and relax, it gets more regular and entropy goes down. I've done this myself. And we've known about alpha and delta waves etc for more than a century. When you fall asleep, the signal goes more towards a sine wave, ie less entropy.

Many of these complexity or information content metrics work in similar ways. You can even turn EEG recordings from medical operations with anesthesia to a sound and listen to them. The frequencies are of course very low so you must speed it up. You can clearly say when the person fell asleep. A waterfall turns into a hum.

It makes sense, if you're making measurements of a complex system, of course white noise like results are more probable if there's actually something significant going on, than a simple sine wave. Or picture the modem calling sound. The low data rates are simple waves but the high data rate resembles white noise.
There's only one set of Facebook implementations.

I think smoulder means "it's a documented protocol with competing client and server implementations" when they say "it's self hosted".
May I ask why you would rather not have known? I would assume truth is always better for safety concerns if not anything else.

Starting a Business (The Basics)
I used to run one of the more populated channels on freenode before one of they killed nickserv registration without notifying anyone. As a result I lost chanserv access and the oper/freenode staff member I contacted “couldn’t prove I was the actual owner”. I think that freenode has suffered from chronic mismanagement for years.

I professionally worked with some members in the channel who attested to my identity and true ownership of the channel and I offered to provide a signed pgp message using my registered email to prove that I owned the channel using a domain name that I own which matched all of my information (basically a true cryptographic proof of identity).

Instead of this, the oper made me announce my intentions to “re-take over” the channel to the other members saying that if nobody contested then he’d return ownership. I did this for about four months every week. Then the oper decided to give owner perms to his friend saying that I wasn’t active enough to administer the channel. After his buddy took over the channel, there have been no administrative actions taken (ie no mode changed) because there haven’t needed to be any? It’s almost as if I knew how to administer an IRC channel and configured it in a way where it didn’t need to be touched? Either way it was pretty much a slap in the face after spending years growing a community for their platform. If anyone is a member of this channel and wants to start fresh ##embedded channel somewhere else, happy to do so. I hope others do the same.

Looks like the former staff member resigned recently. Good on you buddy. But you still have a special place on my no fly list :).
The Herfindahl-Hirschman index on Youtube is easily in excess of 5,000 points... and you don't think it counts as a monopoly at all? What a high bar.
It's all the more interesting because consciousness itself is often described as a consequence of a sensory loop on the brain. The book "I am a strange a loop" goes into detail about this theory.
Well, what's the BurgerKing of YouTube? I don't think there is one. At best Google has Bing, but I think the performance gap is a lot bigger than the gap between chains.
As a friend of mine wrote in a WhatsApp group that we are trying to migrate to Telegram, "which data about me can they [WA] steal that I care about." So she's not installing Telegram.
My blog doesn't have as big a reach as the front page of Apple.com, but that doesn't mean they have to put my content on there.
Given the small sample sizes it wouldn't surprise me if this was contributing to the reproducibility problems in biology.
In this case Librem 5 would be a better fit for you I guess. This is how Purism advertise their phone.
Just the unapproved ones.
I'm never going to go on libera.chat... I use IRC networks, but I don't even use Freenode.
Except you'll know very quickly it was a "Testher scam" because there's no way for you to get your USD out.

I'm being Sunday funday silly. :D

I'm down to kvetch some kvass. Sounds groovy. Guinness are basically loaves of bread in liquid form. Beer must've originated in botched breadmaking and some genius drank it just to find out what would happen.
“ YouTube's position is that this is medical misinformation about Ivermectin”

Its medical information by a medical Dr. Its unclear who advices YouTube.

As to the FDA, theres a long list of by government agencies making mistakes. Thats why open debate in necessary in an open society.

There are papers with Python kernels. Doesn't mean Python's a good language for writing a kernel. gVisor had to fight Go quite a lot, I think it was a huge mistake for them to choose it.

Ada is the only language you've mentioned that really fits IMO. One of the safe languages like P would be interesting but it's unproven in the space.

As for Ada, it's a sad story, but ultimately the language is unlikely to gain traction after too many early mistakes (particularly around licensing).
It looks like this year they've finally dropped support for all nVidia equipped hardware.

What in the world are you talking about? You honestly believe I can be sued for monitoring employee activity on a private businesses computer systems? The level of entitlement expressed by some HN commenters is unbelievable. Snooping would be somehow spying on their private computer or information not their usage of their work system. We have every right to record everything and anything. I’ve actually considered expanding it to include periodic screenshots, maybe once per minute.

There is nothing for us to be “caught” you have no legal or ethical grounds. My guess is I’ve touched a nerve with you because you have realized if your manager could see such data then your scam might be up.
Wow... maybe I should find a different job with better insurance. I pay ~$12,000 a year for premiums, have an $8k deductible, and don't get an HSA.
Who was consulted when drafting these bills and why are they “good”?

“Online platforms” == operating systems according to the first linked.

If that’s the quality of legislation… I’m unsure how to proceed.
That is the philosophy of an anarcho-capitalist, not a libertarian (at least not one I've ever met).
Small point, but the average household size in the US is 2.5, on half of the 5 people in this household, so you really can't compare their family income to family income statistics for much smaller families.https://www.statista.com/statistics/183648/average-size-of-h...

That seems like quite the cop out lol. Pretty sure any decision to not practice Christianity would meet this criteria.
Nope. The Linux ecosystem for some reason is fixed on recreating a purist GNU/Linux experience and toolchain which simply doesn't suit smartphones, or making 2nd class copies of typical smartphone interfaces.

By comparison, the toolchain isn't so bad for Desktop, the copies are mature or experimenting in their own ways, and there's wine (Wayland is unfinished, but most users can still use X for now). Still Linux Desktop has a minute marketshare.
I don't think it's useful to blame consciousness in the context of this thread. Why not keep going and blame the big bang for the mass shooting in Austin yesterday morning? Technically true, but not useful to point out.

Additionally, you're assuming there is such a thing as objective reality. Your 1+1=2 example is based on manmade axioms. It's not an objectively true statement, it's a conclusion based on an approximated system of logic that humans have invented for convenience. How much is "one" apple, for example? If "1" in your equation represents an apple, can you swap one apple for another and have an equivalent result?

I don't get it. So are you saying somebody else should go for EUA for ivermectin for Covid, and then Merck couldn't go for EUA for their new drug?

Or are you saying Merck couldn't go for several EUAs for Covid at the same time?
There is a project trying to do that: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10613.
The in vitro studies show that ivermectin might be effective against covid, if given at a super high dose, higher than what would be safe.

In the topsy turvy world of ivermectin proponents, this is seen as a argument in favor of ivermectin
Ask HN: Which solution do you use for small business email/calendar/contacts?
Which solution are you using for your small business (or family) email, calendar and contacts? Do you synchronize contacts between web / phone / desktop? Do you use any email desktop app?
Ugh, not lowest TCO. D: And those mostly pointless features are so fleeting. Just do them in software and modular assemblies. Also, right-to-repair and design for maintainability.
I understand the will to bring people to your new project(Observable) using something succesful that you already made(D3), but i think this move will be detrimental to both projects, since everything fundamental for the newcomers is being moved to Observable (Github docs, examples, ...), making the process of learning and integrating the project way more difficult and full of pointless time wasting garbage. This is the exact opposite of open source culture, as an old contributor and advocate of D3 i'm quite pissed. At the same time the big contributors have obvioulsy the right to steer the project in the direction they deem best.
Correct. Even making UTAustin guaranteed acceptance to the top 14% of the class instead of 7% would be better than adding another Harvard in Texas.

The non linearity of the rewards is the problem. I’m orders of magnitude worse off than my valedictorian, who went to an Ivy, because I didn’t get into any good schools. Abolish all of the top schools.
"he could also be one about Covid."

It's not his video that was taken down, so even if true, it's irrelevant.
It is delicious! Painful too, and unnecessary, but since it has happened, why not gawk away?
For me Hinduism is an ecosystem as is for millions of Hindus.

A Hindu will feel very comfortable in a Buddhist temple and practice and vice versa. Hindus themselves have extremely diverse traditions.

I see where we have diverging views. My Swedish landlords who happens to be a Christian once asked we where is your holy book.

In her mind not having a one-one equivalent with Christianity delegitimises the religion.

In trying to intellectualise the debate, you have taken the limited view of a Christian.

The vast majority of the Hindus are open to the ideas of Buddhism as well as 1000s of tribal/rural/regional gods and rituals. Not only is there no conflict, there is perhaps no clear boundaries.

This is completely alien to xtianity/Islam.
For me it's banking apps, og which I have many.

Some can be operated via the web but they tend to require a hardware authentication token, which is as inconvenient as carrying a second phone (each bank requires a different token or card reader).

Some can be operated via the web but use their phone app as an authentication token for web access.

And some don't provide full functionality via the web at all.

Plus, the apps are way more convenient than logging in via the web in practice.
Same with homesteading and agricultural channels that give instructions on slaughtering livestock even though the same content is allowed on PBS.
could you better define hyper-processed? seitan, tofu, and tempeh are very simple in my opinion. I don’t imagine pea or soy protein being wildly difficult to create, but am unfamiliar with those processes.

'No Way To Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
Yes, that's what pseudo-authoritarian institutions do when they want to subvert and homogenize society's belief system.

You could see this coming from a million miles away. No one should be shocked, especially those that egged it on (not finger-pointing at Eric or his brother here).
I remember doctors at UCSF saying last year that they were treating patients within the bounds of what they know. And not just trying random stuff. I think SF case fatality rate is lower than other places. Just saying.

Disturbing to me is constant claims that treatment X is being failed not failing. Yes that's happened in practice. But people making that claim need to put up[1].

[1] First doctors that came up with an effective chemotherapy for leukemia faced a backlash when other doctors it didn't work. They had to show that the other doctors were making changes to the drug protocol.
Oof. Man. Your attitude is what makes software less diverse and hospitable.

I know there are some folks who maybe come with sincere laziness, but the hard push with observable complicates an already complex thing. You don’t have to agree.

Keep being mad or whatever and shitting on newcomers to the field. I’ll stick to welcoming folks and trying to hear the merit in their complaints.
Maybe things felt better because the internet originally reflected a subset of our population. Before the advent of cheap smartphones and 24/7 connections with a cellular plan, being part of the early internet usually meant you had a well paid job and were educated.

The internet of today hasn't changed much and is still a reflection of it's population. And if we don't like what we see it's because it highlights the worst parts of society as well as the best.

I've been doing a lot of thinking on how the internet has changed humanity since it's inception and watching our gradual change into a more connected and collectivist mentality. I think right now we're all being confronted with the imperfect creatures we are and ultimately I think it's a good thing for how we'll progress from here.

That's not true, you can always backdoor Roth IRA. And if you have a 401k and depending on how it works you might be able to do a mega backdoor Roth IRA.
Well yes, acquisitions are frequently decided by nontechnical people. That’s where the money comes from.

For better or worse, nontechnical people sometimes make decisions. One of the jobs of a software architecture is to be robust in accommodating the consequences of them. Monolithic architectures frequently aren’t.
Well, some of them like Hitler and present day CCP are more wrll suited than others.
The Trinitron TVs, monitors, WalkMans, and DiscMans were awesome. Then, they screwed the pooch in the mid 90's. Their support sucked and their products started sucking.

And then rootkit scandal.

IT security is desktop and corporate infrastructure server security (file servers, email, directory), usually along with corporate network security (very big companies sometimes have distinct network security teams, but if you don't have that, IT security owns network security --- the wifi access points, the access routers, any weird 8021x-type stuff you're doing, etc).

As soon as you move into prod servers you're typically talking about cloud/infrasec people, who are distinct from IT security people. Infrasec: IAM; IT Security: Active Directory.

As soon as you move to actual code that the corporation writes/maintains, you're in appsec. If your IT security group owns appsec, you're not doing appsec.
Agreed. This kind of ego dissolution starts to look like philosophical panspychism if you stare at it long enough, particularly when you read the reports of people identifying with non-human animals, plants, and yes, even rocks. At that point, there might be another mechanism at work. If life and mind are just emergent properties of organized and self-replicating matter, is it really crazy (or juvenile) to look back and reflect on everything around us and see it not as a discrete set of things, but as one continuous form? Maybe the problem isn't what we are experiencing, but how we think about it.
Where did the link (https://andmaybegayer.tumblr.com/post/651612929639284736/jes...) to the former staff member go?
That is true of battery chickens and of meat and dairy cattle in factory farms, but not for "most animals", like you say, and certainly not the world over. On the contrary, around most of the world, farm animals are among the happiest, healthiest, best-fed and best-cared for animals on the planet.

Of course you will not know that if you selectively look at the factory farms with feedlots that are the norm in the US, Argentina, etc. These are indeed atrocities. But, for the time being, they are not representative of the majority of farms in most of the world.

You can see that if you take a slow train ride through the French countryside, for example. You'll see houses, barns, trees, grass and small herds of cows busking in the sun, peacefully chewing cud, just like large beef and dairy industries want you to think their animals are kept (which obviously they're not). Or, if you take a walk around the countryside where I live, you'll see that every meadow and plot of land has a few sheep or goats browsing serenely, often next to the road, typically without even a fence to keep them in, because it's unnecessary. I know one particular dairy farm on a Mediterranean island, with a fully modern barn and automatic milking machine, where, if you visit during the day, you'll see maybe a dozen goats in the barn that can house a couple hundred. The rest are out in the mountains, browsing, and will return on their own in the evening. That's how terrified those allegedly mistreated animals are. The barn is their home.
A version of this trick was used in the Acorn Archimedes, the first ARM-based workstation from the late 1980s

The Archimedes memory map had virtual addresses in the bottom half of the address space, and the top half of the address space was physical addresses. The RAM appeared at the start of the physical address space.

So there was this special zone in the middle of the address space where you could set up this kind of twice-mapped circular buffer, and it was used for the screen buffer. Both CPU and DMA accesses went through the MMU, so you could scroll the screen just by tweaking its base address.
