> It's pretty apparent at this point that COVID was heavily politicized, which would explain its dominating prevalence in media and culture

It seems to me that its "dominating prevalence in media and culture" came as a result of being a once-in-a-generation global plague that killed millions of people, shut down much of the world, and fundamentally altered the way humans live their lives for the better part of two years.
One thing I like about VS Code is the search feature.

The result is instantaneous and only found out recently it uses ripgrep from my co-worker.
Just as one counter data point to your observation of your social circles: 2020 made me reconsider things. I also did the maths and concluded I was already the FI part of FIRE. I thought some more about what I wanted to do with my life, stayed several more months to give myself time to reflect on things, and then ultimately resigned with no intention to find another job. I will wrap up in two weeks time.
Someone somewhere made $1 when they used to make $0... and they might even make another $1 before the well goes dry.
When I was a kid I went on a winter campout with the Boy Scouts. We had about a half-dozen canvas tents of that shape, arranged in a semicircle. The awnings were all stretched out and connected to tarps that enclosed the other half of the semicircle, and a wood stove was placed in the middle. I wouldn't say it was warm like inside a house, but it was much warmer than expected.

The scouts at that time had a -100 badge, you got it when the low temperature with windchill for each night you camped added up to -100 Fahrenheit. We all got the badge that weekend.

P.S. I never knew that style was called a Bakers Tent.
RIP Freenode. Ye are yet one more IRC diaspora amongst the many before, but being one of the last major holdouts of IRC, I do believe this to be the end of an era. Godspeed.

Freedom's holdout. Astounding.
can confirm. I work in a store doing picks. We are all students and generally do not care. If customers aren't looking food + product is being thrown into a cart haphazard.
There are a few of us who care a bit but not many.
Luckily work for a store that is too inept to track our performance.
I can only imagine that this gets worse when employees are monitored.

To do the opposite of what the author writes, first you have to finish reading what the author wrote. In the post script.
If that "company" owned the copyright, they would almost certainly win, but damages could be low or negligible negligible as long as the distributor wasn't selling the abandonware and as long as the suit was only for one copyrighted work. Attorneys' fees and costs could be a problem however. (US law, statutory damages, assuming the plaintiff couldn't get the jury outraged about giving away something that would otherwise bit rot.)

I'm a lawyer, but this is my meaningless drivel. It's not legal advice. You shouldn't listen to me. In fact, you shouldn't listen to anyone on HN about legal issues, ever. The copyright discussions here quickly devolve into complete nonsense. I've done software copyright for a long time, but I sometimes have to read posts five times to kind-of-sort-of-think I know what they're trying to argue. And it's almost always wrong.

(grishka, this is not an attack on you at all. Your post is fine.)

I've never heard of metering sewage before. Everywhere I've ever lived had a flat fee per home, or based it on square footage. Is the water utility owned by the local government?
No, I mean services that are not interchangeable. For example you can't really open your instagram videos on the Tiktok editor. You have many extra hoops to jump.

In old fashioned "file" way, it's just a .mpeg file.
I think some p2p tools used bots on freenode to cope with network partitions?
I can't remember if bitcoin was one.
I'm using ivy/avy/counsel in Emacs and there's counsel-rg, which I use all the time. It's fantastic. It's not stock, but it's really easy to configure (and it calls ripgrep under the hood, so you need to install ripgrep).
People do things fast when they think it’s the most important thing, like the Covid vaccines.

Government officials and most of the contractors are going to keep on using their stupid inefficient 25mpg SUVs and pickup truck and never take the train anyway, why would they want the project to go any faster?
Ton of people care about heart disease, and care about it a lot.

From a "stock" perspective, all of the health and nutrition and fitness related industries are based on Heart Disease and people caring about it. When people say exercise and healthy eating makes you "healthier", it almost always refers to risk of heart disease and sometimes a little bit of cancer.

When some state passed laws to tax sugary drink, that's also related to heart disease.

When people say there is an "obesity epidemic", that's talking about heart disease.

So ya, quite a lot of people care about it.
I still want a way to access grocery lists and prepopulate my cart with those items or the nearest equivalent

Just like with grocery delivery apps, people were dismissive of the reality where such low effort would be involved and yet in some areas there are only food delivery shoppers anywhere to be seen. this will also be a hit

Recipe blogs can allow the users to auto populate their carts on Amazon or other common grocery delivery apps that interface with their local area

The nutrition bloggers can just share their entire shopping list for one-click replication

People that dont find the discovery aspect of shopping entertaining at all can still have all of the upside without resorting to those prepackaged-meal-but-pretend-to-be-a-chef startups
love it. very easy to understand what the tool can do :)
Doesn't help, because they doctor the ball before they throw it.

They already go through on average 80-100 balls per game anyway, which means the average ball only sees 2-3 pitches as it is.
I suspect this has been done deliberately before he "lost" to libera, which was only hours away

At this point, I'm just waiting for Lee to announce that he's been trolling us all along (rather than admit the reality of his incompetence).

This article is so over-the-top and ridiculous, it’s not even funny.

Yes, universities teach about emerging language constructs and gender identity. Yes, universities choose to not paint the American experiment in the best possible light and teach its flaws. But comparing it to North Korea? This is a preposterous argument.

> That is what is happening in America," she continued. "People see things but they've just completely lost the ability to think critically

Are you sure? Is it critical thinking only when you agree with it? Is an elite microcosm of American society a way to pass judgement on the state of everyone’s critical thinking?

I’ve honestly never read a worst news article in a long time. Is this even news? To me, as an outsider, it reads like the age-old apocalypse trope.
Legalize insider trading and make large trades go through very slowly while small trades go through in milliseconds.

This would allow common people with a few thousand dollars to act on news and make meaningful amounts of money, while hedgehog funds have to wait for their transaction to painfully slowly go through.

Let real people make money for once.
So if I'm understanding this correctly as an outsider - Freenode is basically starting from scratch? Equivalent to a social network like Facebook being deleted with no warning, then having the brand used for a completely new network? If that's the case, that's pretty shocking, they've done so much to ruin Freenode's reputation already but I never expected they'd do this.
> The “border” peoples of Scotland/north England were pretty anarchistic and moved to the colonies fleeing British rule.

And they ended up in Appalachia because even the other colonies couldn't stand them and kicked them out.
You should actually be very happy. Given Automattic's track record, it might become free.
It's Emacs, so configuring it to use ripgrep instead of native is grep is possible in a few lines of Emacs lisp in your configuration file. See https://stegosaurusdormant.com/emacs-ripgrep/
The advantage is the government is the one liable for it working. Right now, I’m at the mercy of ATT/Verizon/T-Mobile keeping my phone number working for identification purposes. And they have no legal mandate to continue doing that, and I have no recourse if they stop doing that for whatever reason.

It is all the same reasons the government does not outsource issuing of passports. It needs to be from an official source with legal protections.
What a joke that the courts within our society are so obviously controlled by big business. LinkedIn is essentially asking for legal protection so they can box out competition as they pimp out user data they don't even really own in the first place.

The argument our society should be discussing is that individuals own the underlying data. All previous "user agreements" are null and void. All new user accounts should be bundled like non-fungible tokens, then every piece of data associated with that account can be tracked to compensate that user based on actual impressions. Companies can take their cut, but if a user isn't happy with the setup, they can revoke all access to their own data. Enough of this "you agreed to our service agreement" smoke
and mirror bullshit...that's like saying the water company owns the water itself.
As you, I learned scheme first, chicken scheme! I like CLJS, your code will likely be small and expressive. The hot reloading another multiple of productivity added. And having a REPL that can connect to the browser is great. But CLJS has some pitfalls.

It's JS underneath so you still need to know it. Because eventually there is a large enough problem someone else solved and you need to understand their code, shipped as a npm package. When you are solving some problem and researching, most people use JS, so you will have to go through the extra step of translating JS code in your head to CLJS. This could be anything from browser quirks to React Native workarounds.

I don't think the tooling is enough for when complexity grows. It can be difficult to quickly understand how the code glues together, finding references to functions and refactoring. It is a dynamic language, and have all the problems that comes with that.

My assessment is that if you are making a browser only fronted with reagent (and reframe) and limited scope. Of course having a backend in either CLJ or CLJS as well to benefit the most.

These are interesting articles, but in https://www.renehersecycles.com/myth-12-disc-brakes-work-bet..., it just says outright "Many rim brakes for wide tires are too weak to do this quickly, so in the rain, you end up with almost no braking power at all."

I've spent the last few years developing a declarative GUI programming language and implementation called "IVD" (https://github.com/IrisChase/IVD), it's not done yet because life happens. "should be done soon it only needs the last 5%" is the current status.

My experience is all solo projects but I'm ready to get into the industry. At the moment I'm most interested in getting into backend work with Node and TypeScript, but also have an interest in React. I have done full-stack but nothing recent worth putting out in public.

I'm working on a project using TypeScript/Node/Express/SQLite3 which you should totally bring up if you're interested in contacting me.

I remember finding out KITT was voiced by mr. Feeny from Boy Meets World, mind was blown.
> These suspension losses are mostly absorbed in the rider’s body. Imagine a bean bag that drops on the ground without bouncing back – all the energy is absorbed by friction between the beans. The human body works similarly. Studies by the U.S. Army found that the more discomfort vibrations cause, the more energy is being absorbed. And the amount of energy that a vibrating human body can absorb is significant – the U.S. Army’s study measured up to 2000 Watt!

Huh, that's a lot. About 3 horsepower. I don't know what the test setup for that is like, but I'm glad I wasn't the test subject.
Hacking and Modding Black Ops Cold War (How and Why)
First person shooter’s like COD have always had their fair share of hackers. Sometimes its easy and sometimes difficult to spot a player abusing the game and cheating. Let’s take a look at how these Call of Duty hacks work.
For some it’s also an application of the precautionary principle, and a worry that rushing into widespread application of an experimental treatment may present unknown harms. Contra to the contrarians rejecting establishment science, a secondary concern driving the precautionary perspective is a fear that if there are major medium or long term complications then it would lead to a widespread distrust of the scientific establishment itself.

The problem is that an epistemic closure around this issue has emerged for a variety of reasons, so the people who are skeptical and willing to talk about it are few in number and looking for allies, so you end up with a rather motley crew.

I’m interested in what people like Pierre Kory and Tess Lawrie say on this issue because they seem like credible people without a track record of crankery, and they’ve looked at the same evidence as the WHO and come to different conclusions. Even if they are wrong it is interesting to engrave with and figure out why. And if they are right, it would be good to figure that out sooner rather than later. But any time I stick around in the forums where their work is discussed the comments section is often overrun by unhinged wackos with different motivations.

I mean freenode was already in a slow death before. This just seems to have speed it up.
Anecdotal - In Excel I can have one cell to track my 1RM in KG, and then use a percentage of that weight on any particular workout routine.

i.e. I follow a 10 week program that I repeat (you guessed it) every 10 weeks. At the end of the 10 weeks I will update the 1RM and the entire spreadsheet of ~120 rows of exercises, stretches, and warmups will immediately update to show me the correct weights to use.

Once you get past the beginner stages of exercise (learning movements, stretches, etc) fitness routines are just numbers on a page. For that reason I'll stick to Excel.

But this seems like a useful tool for those very new to the scene.
Well for reference, I knew one guy I went to high school who did remedial classes all his life, then went on to college with a full basketball scholarship with some unbelievably easy business degree only to become a cop.

This kid couldn't write a paper let alone a police report. Boggles my mind why they'd ever let someone like that be a cop. I guess they value people skills over knowing people have rights.
I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. COVID was and is heavily politicized.

Baltimore Maryland, for example, is still very strict about masks, yet they are closing schools because of lack of air conditioning and Fells Point seems to be disturbingly close to requiring assistance from the National Guard, violence is quite literally out of control. Crime and children be damned, better put a mask on!

I cook Chinese. Cooking on a typical gas rangetop is also painful. Not enough heat, and the wok is not very stable.

I use a tabletop butane burner indoors (Iwatani 35FW) and it has at least 3x the heat and the wok is more stable.
> This means that one cop from Kentucky has absolutely no connection to one from Boston.

This premise is false.

The blue wall is real. If the Boston cops would stand up and say they don't support that Kentucky cop, it would make every other cop in America pause. They absolutely have power over each other with their words and actions. They could wholeheartedly support civil and criminal actions against police officers who do wrong.

But they don't; they protect each other, one and all. And that empowers every cop everywhere to act extrajudicially.

Their silence is the connection.

(Very) Large trades already go through slowly unless you’re buying/selling a high volume stock at market. Also when they say insiders already heard the news it’s more like days ahead, not hours.
That's probably fair. Soccer is a great example that I wasn't really considering as an American.

That being said, if you haven't seen the movie Moneyball, I'd recommend it. Baseball was truly transformed by computerized statistics, and because baseball is basically decided as a series of batter-pitcher matchups, it lends itself to being predictable in a way that other sports can't be. Baseball is the monte carlo simulation of sports.
Forzak: A website that curates high-quality educational content on the Internet
I didn't cite it, and I didn't say some other article existed..

What I said was basically "google admitted their old method didn't work, here's a link if your interested. I wouldn't be surprised if the new method doesn't work either, and we see articles about that in a few years"

The I "wouldn't be surprised" part comes from both methods actually having very little to do with the job at hand, and therefore I think they would BOTH be bad predictors of performance at that job..

This has been the strangest saga in tech that I can remember in a long time...
There's nothing to parallelize. There is one computation that takes a long time. If two computers do the same work, only the faster one matters, not the luckier one.

Bitcoin miners can parallelize because it's a search problem, so they can probe multiple different candidates simultaneously.

That said, VDF isn't a drop in replacement for Bitcoin style POW. VDF just gives you the ability to say (provably, so no one can cheat) "everyone has to do a 10 minute serialized computation before launching a (parallelizable) POW hash search" so we don't use all the world's available electricity just for mining.
