Here is the core problem that I have a hard time articulating:

Here is what OP is doing:

1) Point out ills on the other side - QAnon, Climate denial, etc.

2) Make a sweeping statement that being a centrist means giving attention to aforementioned theories and giving "equal" importance to both sides. That's not what centrists do.

OP's condenscending take on Centrists is based on low-blows and not much substance.

We've been generally on positive trend.
In Dan Carlin's Hardcore History episode about the Nuclear Age, he makes a similar point about chess. The American leaders at that time didn't play chess, they played bridge as it simulated a more dynamic environment with a lot of missing information.

ripgrep uses parallelism by default.

Parallelism applies both to directory traversal, gitignore filtering and search. But that's where its granularity ends. It does not use parallelism at the level of single-file search.
Important part, not in the headline:

> moved to home confinement and remains in the custody of the federal Bureau of Prisons
>Anyway yeah, I'm a centrist and it's NOT because I'm trying to be neutral

> You aren't being neutral.

My claim is that I'm not neutral and that I'm also not trying to be neutral.

>If your goal is to never be critiqued because you can't stand to be wrong,

Speaking of strawmen.
What it means is that I don’t tell the recruiter. The candidate can do whatever they want.

We pay well. I don’t alter my offers based on the others I hear about. We usually beat them anyway, but when we don’t, that’s too bad.
> Pinning every Python dependency instead of fetching HEAD is how you get local control and security!

yes it is? they make sure the user get a specific version that is (hopefully) vetted and know as working properly; this is much safer than pulling HEAD for a 3th party repo. As long as the libs are updated regularly and when security issue are found, I see no problem with this approach

> he has the right to transitively make Home Assistant un-packagable on NixOS?

Pretty sure a custom license is not compatible with the Apache 2 license of "Home Assistant"; also as the code is in use by a third party, the author should not be able to retroactively change license, only next releases.
Probably will be forked or removed depending on the specific of the case and of the code.
Not a problem :). Thanks for the new resource!
Many houses in remote locations (in the U.S.) have large propane tanks outside the house, which are refilled periodically by a truck.

Maybe the problem is just a majority forcing a minority into their beliefs?

I'm anti-government in general, so that _is_ my standpoint.

I don't really get the argument here. Various parts of the government have issues (including parts not at all related to finance), so we should throw our lot in with immutable chains that give zero consumer protection?

The U.S. govt, banks, and credit card companies have issues but there are also a lot of protections for the average person. The govt does get involved when it comes to finance, and that's fine. Things like tobacco and alcohol get regulated, and that's fine.

Cryptocurrencies aren't this magical thing that can't (or shouldn't) be touched by government. It was always a matter of time before the slow machine caught up.

> why should - or how could, the government save people from their personal decisions.

Because having a non-trivial amount of citizens losing their life savings on snakeoil, get-rich-quick schemes is a net negative for society. Plenty of laws and regulations exist -precisely- to prevent or save people from their bad decisions. That's what a government and society is -for-, not to say "too bad, kid, you should've known".
Did you catch me before the edit? I remembered right after I clicked "submit" and immediately removed it, ha! You must have seen it right at the right moment.
Thanks for that. This makes sense and IIRC this archive site was complaining about Cloudflare early on. However what has happened since then is that archive.is, archive.md, etc. have been blocked in some countries. Whether this tracking pixel containing IP address and geolocation has any impact on censorship is a question left to the reader.
Genuine question: is it not better to have a workout a routine as routine implies you are exercising the same muscles over and over again at the expense of the remaining neglected muscles?

They won't. Both Mozilla and Safari pointed out the security issues and refused to implement WebUSB (along with a host of other APIs) as specified.

I'm sure Malcolm Gladwell would have an opinion too, but neither matter since it is outside the area of expertise of both.
By that logic, they should also shut down Tik Tok and most social media.
I understand that you're pessimistic about this, but overall the human condition has gotten better as the population has grown.
> - It even appears that it allows officers to compel people not just to disclose passwords but to actually operate the device for them so as to enable information access, and "to produce the information in a form in which it can be removed"

I can see it now: "I'm sorry, Officer, but my company's Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy will not allow this document to be copied to any removable media or emailed outside of the company. I can make a request to Compliance for an exception but they take 7-10 days to respond!"
Conversely fewer people means fewer problems to solve...

We have emission targets to return to year 2000 or year 1980s levels.

We can have similar targets for pops: 1900s or 1960s, before we had fast doublings of populations, obviously through natural reduction rather than forced.
Sure, it's not like, a law of physics or something, but

1. in this case there's... more to it, as you've been pointed out

This attitude of "well I can because I can and what you think doesn't matter" is promoted as the culture of "the internet" by a lot of folks, but it's a cultural thing that not everyone agrees with.
I'm also learning curses but went the LuaJIT ffi way and it's been a blast!

LuaJIT ffi allows me to load the ncurses shared library and use straight C to call whatever ncurses functions I want, or write light lua wrappers. I've been breaking my head thought over separation of concerns, coded myself in a corner a few times already but mixing the UI with the data...
I don't think you hate anyone. I know that millions of voters reliably vote for candidates who are outspoken about oppressing specific groups of people, and who introduce legislation and vote in support of legislation that targets specific groups of people.

I'm glad you don't care what I do with my life. If you vote for candidates that legislate in ways that do restrict my life, I ask that you please stop.

Yep, I've also been loving mcfly, bat, and fd. I mentioned this further down in the post, but I compiled a list of all these modern unix tools a couple months ago: https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix
ripgrep's internals are generic over the regex engine, so not only is it possible to plug Hyperscan into ripgrep, but someone has already done it: https://sr.ht/~pierrenn/ripgrep/

This, it's either the first sign of larger problems or a sign of a significant culture shift, either way it signals that change that is likely for the worse is coming so it might be time to leave before it gets worse.
Isn't the problem that businesses are required to store this type of information (kyc verification information)? At what point are we going to have a logical system for verifying identity that doesn't require transferring the same list of data that every other 3rd party you've verified with also has?
Electric heat pumps use less electricity than electric resistance heating, especially in a climate like yours that does not get truly frigid temps. As a side benefit they also offer efficient cooling during hot weather.
Signal is Moxie and I personally don't trust Moxie and have some issues with his attitude. Does this make signal unsafe, no of course not but I don't trust it even if the encryption is top notch.

Also remember you must have a phone number to use signal.
But this would only disagree with my comment if you further say that trans people should nevertheless be allowed to call something or someone trans-exclusionary without having understood their position. Is that your point?

If it is then I would still disagree: if it is too emotionally taxing to try to understand an opponent's position then I think that one can just refrain from calling them out in public.

In fact, how do you know a viewpoint really poses a threat in the first place? For example, which of your rights does it propose to infringe? If you can answer that then you probably already understand the viewpoint enough to counter it...
This is literally impossible to implement in practice. People can store it in their brain, they can use multisig to distribute the partial keys, etc.
I find repgrep defaults sensible when searching for text but fd misses files that I expect it to find -- this has happened a few times now and I have gone back to find.

>I think lots of myth and propaganda about work got blown up in the last year.

Many years of corporations "boiling the frog" and slowly lowering flexibility and not improving pay have been reset. People hadn't noticed, and now they have.

It'll probably happen all over again, but at least there's hope for now.
We are venturing on my opinions now but yes, the ASIC development is important in my opinion. It really is exercising the "pipeline" for computer programs baked directly into chips. It is the direction the industry is moving and why you see so much activity in the RISC-V space for example. This tech is the future for faster computing / more efficient computing. I am not actually sure though if tech like RISC-V is used today in the ASIC miners. I think I'll look into that.
A "centrist" who looks at each issue and takes the average of the mainstream parties' positions is a fool, and will be wrong more often than someone who picks a party and follows along with their beliefs.

Someone who looks at each issue and comes to their own conclusion is likely to end up with views that will not line up cleanly with any political coalition, and must choose which issues to compromise on when deciding which coalition to back in a given political contest.

Your habitual rhetoric is lazy, regardless of much you want it to be considered "correcting the record".

I actually disagree with this as well. The Hacker News user is not the average user. The average user has no idea what Stripe is, they assume that the business requesting a verification will have access to anything they submit.

I know this because we use Stripe Identity ourselves (in beta) and user's have no idea that Stripe and us are different companies.
Maybe, just maybe, we should stop going out of our way to provide platforms to influential fraudsters and lunatics?
This doesn't actually address the parent post in that quite literally half-truths aren't truths. Of course the rhetorical implication is that only one side had those truths but that is most certainly not the argument being made here.
I really question your fractional population 'genius' model.
Very Cool! Going to play around with this. A great way to make quick visual text games with my kids instead of via CLI which can be intimidating.
Might be more accurate to say that population has grown since living conditions have gotten better.
You said it happened twice. I haven't yet had to face this level of intrusiveness, but I fear that it's coming for all of us. May I ask what companies these were? If you don't want to name the exact companies, could you say the general purpose (opening a bank account, buying or selling real estate, incorporating a business, etc.)? Also, which country (I'm assuming the U.S.)?
I'm guessing you as an individual would have no problem trading coins though, right? Even if they firewall the country, all you need is any vpn to make transactions.
Another way to look at this is that extremists have a significant platform on the right, and that is likely to skew the perception of the right by the left.
I’m surprised your employer allows to login to the SyncDocs client with your Google work ID. I’d be fired where I work if I do that.

The other flag to know about is --no-ignore, or alternatively -u/--unrestricted.

By default, ripgrep does not search a bunch of files, in particular anything gitignored and anything with a leading dot (which the docs call "hidden"):

These flags override that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Stanley_Robinson

"Kim Stanley Robinson (born March 23, 1952) is an American writer of science fiction. He has published nineteen novels and numerous short stories but is best known for his Mars trilogy. His work has been translated into 24 languages. Many of his novels and stories have ecological, cultural, and political themes and feature scientists as heroes. Robinson has won numerous awards, including the Hugo Award for Best Novel, the Nebula Award for Best Novel and the World Fantasy Award. Robinson's work has been labeled by The Atlantic as "the gold-standard of realistic, and highly literary, science-fiction writing."[1] According to an article in The New Yorker, Robinson is "generally acknowledged as one of the greatest living science-fiction writers."[2]"

The developers who made the joke are no longer associated with any ongoing development. And just because something is unserious does not mean it lacks value or objectives.
This is the future of most nations. A notable exception being the US, which will not have a demographic inversion in the 21st century.
I don't understand the jabs HN is taking against Centrists - Centrists do not give equal importance to, say, Holocaust deniers and QAnon consipiracists. Listening to other side and believing it in are two different things. The alternative of camping out in your echo chambers is far more terrifying that exposing yourself to the entire spectrum (and ignore lunatic theories).
That seems fair to me.

If this reasoning is correct, then conservatives should be becoming worse at gauging liberals' position on social justice-related topics, considering how their reporting tends to be dominated by extremists as well.
Allowing abortion for purposes of eugenics is self-contradictory with the notion that life should be inviolate.

Perhaps I should remind you of a day, that comes once a year, called "Earth Overshoot Day". It is the day, when we used up more resources than the planet regenerates. The tendency for that day's date is come earlier each year.

The current population is not even sustainable. Half it and then perhaps it will be sustainable, if capped. Ecological damage will probably increase in the future, as swathes of people from developing countries will want to have the same living standards, that the first world countries experienced for decades. If you combine that with 11 billion people, it will be a disaster.

I see a bunch of comments here showing their disdain towards chrome adding more liberal file system access.

As a web developer this is actually a positive move as it gives us the ability to make really powerful apps for the web without having to resort to wasting time in apple's walled garden.

Yes, Firefox [1] thinks this is dangerous, but the points they have put forward are half baked at best. This API is no worse than some of the existing APIs implemented by every browser and contrary to what the name might suggest, does not degrade a user's privacy or security.

There is a much better way to have more geniuses: Increased access to education worldwide.
10% of adults worldwide still can't read (probably around 500M people), and 60% did not go further than secondary education.

This has the big advantage of not just increasing the raw number of "geniuses" but also the ratio of geniuses.
But not drivers.

Not the OP, but I'll counter:
>You aren't being neutral. Your position is a very strong affirmative for the current status quo. You don't want anyone to be able to enact change.

It's not that I don't want ANYONE to enact change, I just don't want people with extreme views enacting change. And it's this all-or-nothing discussion that drives the country apart and makes for little or no common ground on major issues. The US Federal laws impact hundreds of millions of people. In most cases, this requires gray areas, exceptions, and a one-size-fits-all approach leaning to one extreme or another creates externalities and negative consequences. People who hold extreme views either don't feel these consequences, don't know them, or do not care about them. If they did, then they wouldn't be in the extreme.

For any given situation there are extremes and some path of action between the two that is optimal. Let's say an infected finger - there are extremes (do nothing, cut it off) and an optimal path (some treatment). If OP is in the "some treatment" standpoint, he or she is not advocating for inaction (inaction is actually an extreme in this case), but may be advocating for an optimal, less aggressive approach.
So your concern is that things that currently work the way they do might, and this is where it gets sinister, work differently in the future!

It would solve the declining birth rate for one. With a 300 year lifespan you can afford to put your career on hold for 20 years while you have children. My belief is that an extended lifespan would force people to consider their impact on the world more, at our current span most people clock out well before the consequences kick in. If you stick around for a few centuries the results of your actions become much more evident. Maybe we’d all slow down a bit and enjoy life knowing that our mortality was delayed.
As a person that still is trying to recover from identity fraud that happened many years ago. I am always very weary of companies that demand ID papers. Most of the time I will avoid them.

Most companies aren't even supposed to ask for identity papers is Stripe verifying with the passport issuer whether the country allows given their passport to some identity?

I think there should be some sort of consent system built in were when the API consumer wants to download a passport the customer gets an email with the question if they consent in them fetching a copy.
