Any pattern of thoughts that has been grouped into a discipline, whether religious or secular, can - imo - be viewed as a best effort by a group or individual that was then adopted by the group. That doesn't mean they're equal, but I think it's helpful framing.

Setting aside fundamentalists, people are using combinations of these disciplines to make sense of life. Epiphanies which are liberating to me may be terrifying or unimportant to you and vice versa. The need to conform can be helpful on a societal level (particularly from a bird's-eye view) and harmful on an individual level. At some point, the individual harm affects enough individuals that there is a noticeable backlash, and we see some form of reorganization of beliefs.

Most people aren't built for serious thought. Maybe someone has a better idea than I do how it breaks down on the nature/nature scale, but the average person will always be more concerned with the signaling aspects of a given belief than the belief itself. As a human trying to survive or thrive, you increase your margin for error by squeezing into a group. How you choose the group or if it's chosen for you will again depend on some combination of internal and external factors.

Whether we like it or not, we're building this thing together, and it's to our benefit to be curious and compassionate about the beliefs of others. It doesn't mean converting or losing your religion, but if I understand what motivates you, I can propose comprises that work for both parties. Of cours, there will always be assholes who must have everything their way, but don't be cynical. Most people are capable of compromise, just as most people are capable of love and hope.
What is SCRM?
That’s how it works. When you’re trying to create a new kind of value, a million and one stupidities come crawling out of the woodwork to stop you, because there are easier ways to make less money right now.

Edit: latest example from my entrepreneurship is switching from making my brass products from CNCed billet to making them scrap that I melt into oversized castings and CNC finish. Investors said, “China does that, you can’t compete with China”. Industry experts said the same. Banks said the same. I bought the equipment from company savings, and we ate our competition alive because we haven’t had to raise our prices this year.

People don’t know it, but they mostly believe that whatever’s happening now is the only thing that can happen.
Shelf height really does matter, check the items that are at “eye” height the next time you’re in the store.

And sometimes it goes so far as to distinguish between the average male eye height and he average female when arranging products.
Well, it would be nice to start with verifying whether or not a compatibility promise was actually broken... as it stands we don't really have enough information to know (short of spending time trying to reproduce OPs build environment ourselves), but as you can see by the comments here the general evidence points towards not.
While in a long distance relationship with a med student I once made an email preprocessor that would look up every word longer than 7 characters in a medical dictionary and add a hover over tool tip for any matches.
I think it's a good point. Also everything being in the same place, easy to link or retweet means the small weirdo community will invariably see outside people coming to make fun of them or explain them that they're bad people who deserve to burn on hell.
Banks and government jobs are never in a rush and they are true retirement jobs with slow ass processes and 9 to 5 workdays. Just don't be a contractor as opposed to worthey are they expected to do something.
I am trying to explain the difference between 'not relying on belief' and 'believe the god doesn't exists' or 'believe ** therefore it's also a religion'. Because what op does seems to lump people to the latter. And that is what's missing critically.

Because there is a clean distinction between athism(not relying on belief) and antithesim. Scientific method is a lens of analysis tool and it's beyond the framing of belief as how religious people claims, or even how antithesim people claims. Just like how I would explain the same to the some antithesim group that science doesn't prove the god don't exist. That's still a misuse of the tool of scientific method. To believe the opposite is still a belief, and missing the mark of the scientific method where the most important part is the process not the result.
> That is insane, and psychopathic. But it is shared by many (most?) humans.

Is that not a contradiction? When you find yourself thinking that the majority of humans are the abnormal ones...
Seems like the transition is going quite smoothly so the warnings are going through despite the bans and channel closures. Good job to the libera staff and community! And definitively I'm saving that link.
I agree. It hasn't just ruined the internet, though. The internet has ruined them. Back in the day we didn't have any illusions about what the internet was. When you connected to a website you were literally just reading information from some random dude's computer. Nowadays there are older people who think the internet is finally lifting a veil on everything because anyone can say anything and mainstream media censors everything (ie. conspiracy theorists), and younger people who don't know anything except the internet and don't realise that there is so much stuff still out there that isn't online.
The ransomware I've come across has lots of special heuristics to try and not destroy your data... Things like taking a copy and then doing an atomic replace...
I don't think it's an urge to whitewash, really, as much as a general tendency in modern (post-19th century) history to not blindly accept accounts written after the fact, especially where the sources are known to be unreliable, but rather to try and figure out what happened.

Obviously Nero was a very nasty piece of work, but then most Roman emperors _were_. Nero's public image is essentially cartoonishly evil; it's probably not really justified.
Well, sure. But what if you want to avoid such a scenario? Two people booking vaccine slots shouldn’t be allowed the exact same slot. They are going to be pissed realising one of them reached the center but didn’t get the vaccine.
Ransomware really is the best possible kind of data loss, at least there’s a recovery path built into it.

On three occasions in my career I’ve been involved in events which led to large scale data loss. The first time the backups failed, and there was no recovering from it, ever since then I’m religious about testing backups. If you’re in a position to just restore from offsite backups not only can you just flip the bird to people trying to ransom your data, you’re also in a good position to deal with anything else, up to and including the data centre containing all your servers being burnt to the ground.
Why are you not skipping the bullshit? I feed most of my youtube addiction through mpv and have configured several key combinations which allow me to quickly bisect the video. These videos are always full of comments like "why did I have to spend 20 minutes on this", while they never take more than 15 to 20 seconds from me.

By the way, with a proper youtube-dl config in place you don't even have to open the browser:

$ mpv 'never gonna give you up'

It the best way to watch youtube by any measure that I can think of right now.
All behavioral genetic studies heretofore rely on statistical analysis to draw correlations from datasets. Even ones that identiy specific SNPs are often unable to identify the physiological mechanism by which, say, Gene X influences intelligence. Without that, it's impossible to conclude that expression of Gene X isn't environmentally-influenced, and only has positive effects on intelligence when a certain diet is consumed, or sleep schedule kept, or common childhood illness avoided, for example. Another trait influenced by complex genetic and environmental factors, variability in adult height, has similarly been held to be highly heritable based on flawed studies with flawed construction, methodology, and assumptions, despite the fact that the average in many countries has changed on a time scale incompatible with a purely or even highly genetic basis. And height is easy to measure: get a ruler. Models of intelligence have shifted over the years because, speaking frankly, we don't really know how to measure it objectively.

Your objection to the first is ad hominem, to the second erroneous.

Belief in genetic determinism, as we conceive it, is at odds with the principles of skepticism and scientific inquiry. Like eugenics before it, it really, really wants to find a scientific basis to justify the state of the world we live in even as that state shifts under us. There are massive holes in both the execution of studies and the underlying rationale, and it's impossible to speak in good faith on the topic without acknowledging that.
I wonder if any two folks in the same city have anything like the same experience. The idea that being a "New Yorker" means anything then becomes rootless.

Consider: Yankee Stadium holds around 50,000 people. The Yankees play maybe 30 games a year there. With 8M people in New York even if every person in the stadium were different every game, some 5 or 6 years would elapse for a person to be in the stadium twice.

Of course that doesn't happen. Of course many people fill the same seat game after game. Which mean the average New Yorker doesn't ever go into Yankee Stadium at all.

Madison Square Garden is worse - less than 20,000 seats. And every other theatre, restaurant, gas station is far far worse. Essentially for every 'landmark' you can name, the vast majority of New Yorkers never visit in a lifetime.

These waxing-eloquent love poems about 'everybody is a New Yorker' are pretty thin and clueless. Sure the wealthy may have a similar situation and experience, along with all their wealthy friends. But the rank and file of New York likely do their shift in the corner bodega, buy fast food on the way home and fall asleep in a ninth-story room looking on an alley. Rinse and repeat for 20 years.

So I guess from those back-of--the-envelope statistics there may be a common New York experience. But it isn't what these poems go on about.
There is a term, it’s called memberberries:

I don't have the time right now to watch the whole video so sorry if it's addressed, but what is the current state of packaging python applications for users? This was the biggest pain point for me the last time I worked with python outside of writing libraries. I think I was working on a Qt app and it was such a pain to find a way in particular to target multiple platforms.
The R Inferno: A Review
I guess this is a good thread to ask - can you share your favorite, lesser known, hidden gem corners of the internet that are still around?
Perhaps but recall that the source of the Russian Collision hoax was a Russian spy. Everyone just wanted to believe it so badly and facts be dammed.
There a significant difference. When I run code, it is isolated from the people who wrote it. Someone providing a github library I compile into my code has no ability to later unilaterally come in and modify it. There is a gate where I have to ask them in, and I do tend to read the diffs first. There are only isolated windows of temporal vulnerability where I have to trust them, with mechanisms for dealing with that coherently.

An always-on service is an ongoing, continuous trust relationship with continuous temporal vulnerability

Consequently, while I can reasonably safely apply a lower bar of trust to libraries and code, someone asking to be continuously trusted must be held to a distinctly higher standard.

It is can be valid to trust that as well, but you're operating from a crippled starting point for your security engineering if you don't see those as separate categories of issues to address.
Just bring back DMOZ, it was by no means perfect but was a great curated directory of the old internet despite SEOs always trying to spam it. Apparently Curlie is trying this but I haven't really looked much into it: https://curlie.org/en
They are, that's the whole point
Wouldn’t the attendant be in trouble if two people at the gate start fighting for the same window seat as printed on their ticket?
No, no not at all. I'm only talking about student loan debt. I'm 100% on board with everything else.
Ok, so you're saying remove the phone number question? It's optional and we have a public flow where you don't register till most of the way thru (click Send Letter button on home page without being logged in and you'll see what I mean).

Thank you for the feedback! Keep it coming!
I believe it's not a caveat at all.

I mean you can mix and match dependencies of different editions, and there are (IMHO) very few reasons to start a new project with an old editions. For that (IMHO) very few reasons you tend to be aware of you intentionally wanting to use a old version and as such it's not a problem.

Through I would say there is no real default
rust editions, it's more appropriate to say crates/libraries "keep" the rust edition they
where created with until explicitly changed.
I love how everything about your list is harder and less flexible for non-technical people than what existed in the 90s... while also glossing over non-dev-focused solutions. It's like the famous HN Dropbox dismissal [1].

Buying virtual hosting, domain names and using a control panel to install Wordpress is already harder, pricier and less anonymous than most users had to endure in the 90s. Also, Wordpress doesn't allow you to easily edit the templates the same way Dreamweaver and Frontpage allowed. Those tools were useable by anyone with knowledge about Word. But to customise Wordpress you need deep HTML knowledge and time. Most Wordpress templates are way more bloated than some bespoke HTML made with Dreamweaver.

You could have said Tumblr, or, if you wanna go commercial, Wix or Squarespace, but self-hosted Wordpress is like the worst of both worlds put together...

Yeah, I know.

I am probably being unreasonable; but it's kind of nice to be able to have a single third-party dependency out of which you can pick what you need at the moment, rather than a host of small third-party dependencies. Kind of like lodash, from which you can at least import individual functions (import merge from 'lodash/merge') rather than installing all those functions as individual packages.
They are well aware of what they’re doing. I personally find it extremely unfortunate but, nothing we can really do.

Luckily as far as I know this is the only serious mis-use of the bootstrap flag. This would be a bigger problem if more people misused it. (And it has, in the past, when people used those packages. There was a relatively high-profile Debian situation about it a while back…)
Memes will be killed by some entrepreneuring copyright troll at some point.

In many jurisdictions, memes would either break the copyright laws or at least be in the grey zone. It's only a matter of time before someone exploits this. After one case, the platforms will ban them to avoid the risk of getting sued themselves. The same will probably happen for gaming videos.
thankfully, IRC is an open protocol, so for most people making such a change could be as simple as mechanically replacing "chat.freenode.net" with "irc.libera.chat" in their config.
I thik people have issues with professional recruiters, whose whole job is to match candidates to offers.

Compared to a discussion with an HR member who also happen to deal with recruiting it's night and day. The gold standard being of course talking to an actual manager or team member who can explain why they need people, and for what.

Even talking to my own company's HR people felt like a chore in a lot of jobs, and we took a lot of time to get them to understand what we are looking for. It's just not simple, they don't do the same job, and the further the people are from us the harder it is to have efficient recruiting discussions IMO.
just checked: the first Go code i ever wrote, over 8 years ago, still compiles flawlessly. obviously the world is filled with trade-offs, but my oh my is it nice to use a language that doesn't break old code.
I'm one of those people, I've just accepted that I'm a loser.
"Romantic", as a noun for a person who has an idealized view of reality, especially one that has passed.
This orange website is truly a fascinating place. We reminisce about the old, less commercialized internet while rubbing shoulders with the people who made it the way it is today.
> Tacitus says he killed his mother (who was pretty nasty in her own right).

Mentioned in the article; this was a trope that Roman historians (who weren't historians in the modern sense) routinely used about people they didn't like, and the accounts are inconsistent. Like, it's certainly _possible_ he did, but there isn't great evidence for it.
I've got a good one: happy critters taste better. Modern factory farmed pork is fine, and $2/lb is awesome and wonderful; but I'll never have pork like the pig I raised as a child, or the pigs the neighbor ran in a retired peach orchard, from such a lifestyle.
That's the only problem. Google shows big player websites now because it has lost the ability to detect spam.
For a FOSS solution (now that ZeroTier no longer is one), there’s Nebula, but you’ll have to operate your own central node. That’s nothing compared to maintaining the hell that is IPsec or even OpenVPN, though.

Even bare Wireguard is a joy to set up, to my endless surprise, if you’re fine administering things as a traditional small-scale LAN, manual routing and all.
Why I have zero faith in crypto venture capitalists
Don't know in the US but here in the UK the vast majority of people sell through estate agents. If you're looking to buy then you give your details to estate agents so that they can contact you when something comes up.

Now if you find a house that you really like then it costs nothing to leave a card through the letter box. Still, I guess homeowners might be a bit suspicious and not comfortable going alone without estate agent (if they'd consider selling at all)
The more fantastical Caligula stuff also generally isn't taken seriously these days.
Well then the problem moves a little to the left. If there are x seats to be booked up front and y seats to be allocated later. How many times can each of the x seats be booked and how do you prevent that n and n+1 over the limit booking for some seat? The problem is still there.
Title could be more helpful if it included "(video)". Then I would not have clicked through.
Needing to jump on a tech support chat server to a debug a language backwards compatibility issue seems another bug, not a feature.
>What is the problem with requiring a up-to date build chain?

Well, Debian Bullseye, a distro that hasn't even been released yet, already has a rustc that's so out of date (ie, ~5 months, 1.48) that it can't compile code written today using today's features. I guess if you come from the web or some "fast" internet company where you rebuild your entire world every day then 5-6 months is an eternity. But with, say, c++, I can expect to be able to compile C++ programs written by devs for a handful of years before C++?? issues start. And despite Bash 5 getting new features regularly I can expect a bash script written today to work on my 15 year old desktop running linux 2.6. It's not because these languages don't add new backwards incompatible features. It's because the devs don't immediately use them and say, "What is the problem with requiring a up-to date build chain?"

If you only talk to other bleeding edge devs in the rust community I can see how this ethos propagates. But not everyone is a bleeding edge rust dev. Some of us run our distros for many years and just want to compile programs.

Requiring the use of rust-up instead of using system repos is the often suggested way around this. But I, and many others, absolutely hate using third party compiler software from out of repos. It's a bad practice and leads to it's own trouble as shown the very topic this discussion thread is about.
IIRC it requires a very wide angle of visibility to the sky. I'm not an owner, I just read some articles about the issues a couple months ago.
She can always abdicate.
Are there any countries which regulate it?
Well I can't go and actually name my friends on a public forum, can I. So yes, it's unverifiable. But if you live there, it shouldn't be hard to find someone outside of your London bubble with this opinion.
The key difference though is that mine is a subclass of string. I am aware of these in other languages, but they can’t be used in place of strings.
Sadly, you are probably right. For better or worse, I keep thinking that invite only forum is the way go to maintain a decent level of 'interesting conversations'. HN still has them, but it is getting harder to filter through.
That multiply $ x time is the same argument why the Ford Pinto was shipped with an exploding gas tank - cheaper to pay the settlements.

I don’t think we’ll break this cycle until paying Bitcoin to a Russian Hacking group = Jail.
Enter to Win – Musical Change Makers
I learned to persevere while tackling a hard subject. I now know if I don't understand material at first I will given time. This got me beyond giving up in the early stages.
I wish they would just leave javascript alone and continue with java or c# or c++ or whatever it is they are trying to transfrom javascript into.
Yes, I ended up not using d3 and using something else instead. But it's a shame because I thought d3 is a great project and a good fit for my use case. I just didn't want to waste my time and energy dealing with Observable.
There is small breakage in new versions of both C and C++’s standards. It is generally very small though.
Thank you for saying so. I was actually banned/rate-limited from this site for being a little too ideological a few years ago and after thinking about the types of comments I was writing I decided to try to change my ways -- and not just here. I'm trying to let myself be led by curiosity rather than indignation or pride when it comes to the news and big issues. I recommend it -- it's actually helped me remove the contention in some personal relationships, in addition to IMO making me a better contributor to internet communities I'm in.
Most people may not be concerned with reduction of suffering but those that argue for not killing animals for food definitely are. I'm not sure why you think it has anything to do with being fashionable.
I'm guessing it's a good way for recruiters to gauge your interest too..

You're not going to take a call from someone you couldn't imagine working for.
Regarding speaking with lots of cultures, I feel the current platforms have bring out the worst in people. Society has been completely divided in many places and well developed democracies undermined by the current incentives to promote and widely disseminate information which provokes strong reactions. This has been largely made possible by centralisation and consolidation of the internet.
But of course you'd get a diesel Prius or Insight only to be "rolling coal" with it.

EDIT: Sorry, only watched the YouTube clip now -- OMG, seems that was the purpose! Sheesh, you think you're making an obviously absurd jokey take on something... America, you never (cease to) disappoint.
