> Are you telling me with a straight face that the UX on crypto is better than traditional banking?

Crypto is a big space and there's a lot of variety, but yes. Not that many banks where I am offer effectively free and quick transfers with the ease of scanning a QR code, which I have done with crypto.

Even better is the experience of using ripple on keybase chat, which is far superior to anything I've seen offered by a bank in my area.

Sure, some cryptocurrencies are more painful, but that's not a necessary characteristic of the whole space, and perhaps even more important - we can innovate in the crypto space more easily than we can innovate in the traditional payments space.

Actually traditional banking has got a lot better at payments recently, and I think it's to some extent because they realize that they need to compete.
> One aspect of religion I appreciate is that these aspects are well codified and debated – i.e. much more explicit.

In a liberal bubble in an atheist society? I remember the South Park episodes on the prophet, and I remember my countrymen executed for "insulting" the said prophet. At least the "cancel culture" chills some racism.

> If you believe you are not religious, it just means that you don’t have the cognitive tools to recognize the secular ideology that you have adopted.

You can understand the simple fact that all us humans being shitty doesn't imply that some aren't even shittier? When we say someone is "selfish," it means they are more selfish than a majority of people.
It's unclear to me that it's a deliberate effort to kill it so much as reshape it to suit his desires, and either genuine ignorance or absolute lack of care about the damage done to communities previously on there.

It would, after all, be relatively simple to just destroy the system with godlike power over it, unless you have some other goal.

I would speculate, from the multiplication of freenode-related services and the few attempted partnerships, that one goal is to monetize/reshape freenode's community into not being solely IRC-centered. A bunch of his pre-freenode actions seem focused around monetization, so it seems to logically follow.

A bunch of the actions seem to just be petty, though - as cited in the last thread about freenode, he klined all of irccloud, presumably because irccloud posted something in support of Libera chat, and was quoted as saying "fck irc
cloud". He's apparently been klining anyone who submits things he dislikes on the freenode HN-alike.
Is it just me or is anyone else having a tough time trying to wade through all the jargon to figure out what this is actually about?
While I don't think it is often as bad as some people here try to make it out to be, it's also sad that comments pointing it or mostly dead, which is why I vouched for you.
Because there are to many dead comments that did not deserve that status.

It's ironic you would accuse someone of being unable to see "shades of gray" and then compare the security features of a piece of slightly rigid paper with the CDC logo on it to a state driver's license with holograms, an identity verification process, and multiple fraud detection features.

You are right! Alternative is similar to AlternativeTo and SaaSHub. We are mainly if you are not connected to the Alternative dashboard. In the offline version, the search results are presented as a list. Moreover, softwares are added by the community.

Nevertheless there are differences!

When using Alternative without sign in, we differ by :

- search filters that allow you to build your requirements

- a display of search results by similarity index

When using Alternative with sign in, we differ by :

- more advanced comparison tools

- more data in the software file

- a space to share your stacks and argue about about its

- a semi-automated filling of the form to add a software

These differences are the result of a vision oriented search engine more than data directory. We hope that with the craze that could be around this project we will build indexing robots specialized in the discovery and revalidation of data.

It seems ambitious but, we target to be more exhaustive than AlternativeTo and SaaSHub. That's why we combined crowdsourcing and robots.

It can be quite useful for a more complex ledger between multiple banks. Yes it’s not open like Bitcoin but it’s easy to connect multiple partners, provides immutability / transparency, deals with varied levels of trust between actors (banks, shipping companies, importers / exporters, government entities), and allows you to formalise trade finance rules in a smart contract, etc without imposing a central database / solution. It’s an closed network involving complex transactions between a range of parties and therefore blockchain / smart contracts is actually a good solution.

The Greek alphabet was derived from the Phoenician alphabet, and the fact that it replaced the local writing and spread quickly suggests that a simpler technique of writing can win. I think the trend you see is the most common behavior.

But the evolution of written languages is not a simple process. It is often influenced by political choice. E.g. Hangul for Korean, simplification laws in Germany or France.

I can think of few exceptions where the simplification of a written language was rejected. The Sumerian ideograms were simplified after their introduction circa -3300. The writing system was adapted to the Akkadian language which was the dominant spoken languages for centuries. It mixed pure ideograms with double readings and syllabic symbols (a bit like Japanese). But after 900 BC, when neo-Assyrian ruled, Akkadian was declining, as well as writing on clay. There was a clear tendency to complexify the tablets: for example adding more symbols or reviving archaic expressions. Akkadian was the language of the elites, and simplifying it would "degrade" it.

Disclaimer: I have been interested in ancient writings, with a particular attention to Mesopotamia, but I'm not an expert.

Short for Multi User Dungeon, it's a world you can explore and interact with alongside other users. They were generally text-based (like Zork), though I believe there were some roguelikes and graphical MUDs too.

Many multiplayer online games played today have a heritage that comes from the MUDs. Minecraft is certainly one of them and fills a similar niche, though to categorize it as a MUD seems strange, unless any multiplayer virtual world with an ROG-like element is also a MUD.
It's actually still used, but AFAIK mostly in the plural form (χαίρετε).
“Nobody Ever Gets Credit for Fixing Problems That Never Happened”

While I agree...

The first few years at my current company, they kept telling me I did really good work, but I was too slow.

Then we had a security breach, and then an audit. My code was the only code that they found no vulnerabilities in, and most of the rest of the code was riddled with them. (TBF, there have been security vulnerabilities in my code, they just didn't find them in that audit. I'm not perfect.)

Since then, they have never complained about me being slow.

While that's not credit for fixing problems that didn't happen, I think it's the closest thing out there.
Or you could imagine this response delivered in a semi joking way that would be picked up as an adult but taken more seriously as a kid.
Don’t Cancel Plans Anymore
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my experience. Since I’m a teenager, I like an Israeli singer (Omer Adam) and I’d never been to his concert. So, now the corona is gone he announced he’s having a concert in Israel and I was excited about it.
So, I start calling my friends one by one and ask them to come with me. All of them were busy or did not like this singer. So, I ask my colleagues to come. They were busy also. So, I resign myself no to go and wait for the next time he’ll appear. Suddenly, I received a call from one of my colleagues and he says that his wife knows someone who knows someone etc. who loves this singer. I had so much desire to attend this concert that I just ask for his number and text him. We talk a little bit on WhatsApp and we decide to attend this event together.
It was the best concert I ever been to in my life. The concert was great, and it was so fun to be with someone like him. We had a lot of fun (for the record we are still in contact now).
So when I wake up the morning after the concert, I start asking my friends: “did you ever cancel an event because no one was here to come with you?” and most of the answers were “Yes”.
So, I thought there is something to do for the community. I start to build a small website where I will connect people who share the same passion. I thought it simple, just a form to fill with a small description of yourself, and which events do you want to attend and I will find you a partner. I already made 2 matches and these people were happy. Now that corona is over let’s enjoy life. Whatever what’s your passion there is always someone to share it with you. You just don't know him yet.
If you recognize yourself or know friends that share the same problem sign up or share with them. (www.sharemypassion.net)
Thanks, everyone for reading my post, fill the form I will do my best to help you guys.
I don’t think any tool fixes that, as you alluded to.

I think a great example of this is the difference in docs between OSS Python projects.

Most include the auto generated Sphinx (or whatever) docs, with usually just a README level veneer. I quickly end up needing to wander the code. I swear any OAuth2 client library is fated into falling into this.

The great ones include a “quick start”, overall philosophy/architecture, sections on each sub component, common examples of “advanced usage”, and then the generated API docs (and source code). They let you dig deeper as you learn more, and hit more complicated requirements in your project. Click, requests, Flask, etc. are great examples of this to me.

Sphinx and other tools can be leveraged for all of that. But it does have to be written and maintained.

And not having access to the source (internally or externally) kills me for app dependencies. Sometimes I need to look just to understand the doc or see if I’m making a mistake or there’s a bug. Not trying to get into OSS philosophy, just the practical part for me.

Even the official Python docs can stink in places. The subprocess module replaces X, Y, and Z to be “simpler”, but if you want to know the method args, go read the docs on the thing it “replaces.”

I love “native” apps on my mac, and pay for quite a few. But I’d never try to make one. Even XCode is befuddling to me. It’s not an IDE, it’s an opaque RAD that makes me nostalgic for early 90’s Delphi.
I find it rather troubling, lumping scepticism of these experimental, emergency authorized vaccines in the same category as existing vaccines that have had decades of use and well known safety profiles . It puts you into "yes" or "no "camps, without acknowledging potential unknown problems with these rushed vaccines. There are no long term studies.

I am not anti-vaccine, but I don't think we should be as gung-ho as we are with these vaccines, especially on young people who are at very low risk from covid. Vaccinating children seems immoral.

The major problem is not that your opinion on the state of things is wrong (which it can't be, it's just a value judgement). But such comments do not belong here, regardless of if others agree or not.
I've the same impression. Looking around I see a lot of native host based programming happen, not just Neovim or LSP but also the broad range of apps for smartphones. Usually total statements aren't true.

The root issue is that there are entities that profit (mostly in retaining their relevance/power) when two group of people are pitched against one another. Because such entities can proclaim themselves to be the protectors of the group that is the majority from the other group that could be a minority group.

So you have to understand that once all Muslims are driven out, such entities will pitch two classes within Hindus itself. And in all probability, this could be what happening in places with Muslim majority.

So the real solution is not to drive a group of people away, or declare a "Hindu Rashtra" but to recognise such entities that are profiting from these conflicts, and render that tactic toothless. You will magically see the killings stop.
The devil is always in the details and the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Only in retrospect can you verify the "great" part in great idea. Until then you only really have an deviant idea which could be:

- is/ought problem

- the French revolution :)

Opposition to change is not a bad thing, if isn't extreme (we're not changing anything for any reason no matter what). It forces change to justify itself and its costs, because there are always costs.

Personally I hate these kind of articles. They take a few survivor examples and extrapolate that X is good, -X is bad. In reality you can only move the cursor a little on the (-X, X) axis and observe the outcomes after a relatively long term.
Just because something has been buried, doesn't mean it will stay buried.

> I don't know about England, but I think in Germany it's more common that children represent the pronunciation accurately, but are "corrected" by adults who want to enforce the standard orthography.

Represent the pronunciation accurately, or the children's pronunciation accurately?

It's a bit more interesting in English because a common mistake in English is to pronounce a word as it's spelt. For example, the T in often is supposed to be silent ... OK, that's me being prescriptive, but well-educated older speakers hear younger people pronounce the T in often and they disapprove.

I suppose parents and teachers have different incentives here: parents want their children to resemble them, make a good impression, and sound educated; teachers want the children in their care to get good marks in written tests and exams.

Knowing how to spell diarrhoea is less important nowadays in real life, because of computers. If you don't want to look stupid you still have to know it's guerrilla marketing rather than gorilla marketing, though. Computer will tell you how many Rs in guerrilla.
This is a huge problem for baseball.

Baseball used to be the most popular sport in America. Now it's third. I don't think soccer will ever actually catch it, but that's mostly because MLS is run by the same sort of stubborn people as MLB.

Nobody ever really remembers teams with great pitching. They don't really give them names. There's no "Murderer's Row" of pitching in MLB history. There's a reason for that.

A home run is something everyone instantly understands. New to the game, old to the game, whatever, it gets people excited. So does hitting and base running. People want to see people hit the ball and score runs in baseball. A walk-off homerun to end a big game is remembered forever by everyone who watched it.

Pitching, by contrast, is usually only fully appreciated in retrospect. You don't throw a no-hitter until the last out is counted. Same for a perfect game. A perfect game in the second inning is just a second inning. A home run in the second inning is something that gets everyone out of their seats. The final strikeout of a big game is remembered by fans of the winning team. but it's a footnote for everyone else.

So for entertainment's sake, if you're going to either have great pitching or great hitting, you damned well should be focused as an executive to make sure that the hitting is as good as it can get, because the people who care the most about your sport at this point are boomers, stat nerds, and bookies.

My 86 year old grandmother who passed 3 years ago? She LOVED to watch baseball with my grandfather. Likewise, my other grandfather would watch whenever he could except for when a John Wayne movie was on. My parents couldn't care less, and in my social group of about 40 boys, only two watched the sport on a regular basis.
From the filings against them though, the charges were brought because of a statement from Barilaro and nothing else.

Maybe we're all missing something but seems a bit suspect that you can have someone charged with just a statement, also, stalking ? I don't know the legal definition for it but if you're a reporter and chasing up on news in public spaces, could you be charged for stalking ?

The concept is great but the channel and videos themselves miss out on key details if you know about the topic/companies being talked about. Same with the Coldfusion channel.

A good faith reason could be that the audience doesn’t want all of the most important or interesting to a geek or corporate/financial aspect, so that’s why they don’t include some details I feel should be included.

I don’t personally believe that though. I’ll try to rewatch a video of his soon and give out specific examples.
In Mongolia especially in rural area local people eat only meat/fat from horses, sheep and camels and drink heavy fermented horse milk. They do not eat any fruits or vegetables (it is hard to grow those in a semi-desert). They also avoid fish even when it is plenty in nearby rivers or lakes.

Mongolia is on top of the charts regarding death from liver and other cancers and from heart decease. So I very much doubt that keto-diet has a protection against cancer.

On the other hand the life expectancy both absolute and conditional at a particular age of Mongolians either matches or within 2-3 years of that of Indians who eat mostly vegetarian diet. So if Mongolian have high prevalence of cancers, then they must have less prevalences of other deceases. So if keto diet has any protection, then it is against those other deceases, but not for cancer and heart ones.

We were just having this discussion at work last week, as we are a low volume manufacturer and are starting to see many of our ICs dry up at the major distributors. We're looking at smaller unknown distributors and Chinese companies on eBay and wondering how do we know we'll get what we order. There doesn't seem much area between the two choices of ordering with our fingers crossed or telling our customers we cannot deliver for 12+ months.

That’s not what tax loss harvesting is.

Say you own VTI, a total US market etf. Then the stock market drops 20% next week.

You can sell VTI and with the proceeds immediately buy VOO (s&p500 etf) within seconds.

VOO and VTI are insanely correlated, so you’ve basically triggered a 20% loss for tax purposes, without actually selling any of your exposure.

That said, it’s not as big of a value as you might think, since you’ve also stepped down your basis, and need to pay more capital gains taxes when you sell since you “bought” at a lower price now.

Generally accepted wisdom is to TLH up to the yearly loss deduction amount (like 3k or so) and stop.
>What is the point of severe chronic pain? As in 'why would it have evolved?'I can see no biological advantage to it.

Not everything that evolved evolved to an "optimal" level. Evolved just means "mutated into existance and then survived and proliferated because it was useful". Doesn't mean it has the optimal form, just that it's more useful than not having it at all.

That said, the chronic pain tells your body not to try walking/working until the situation fully heals - which could take a long while, lest you make things worse.
