The problem is going to be revisiting questions later. Most survey sites are going to capture feedback as you go. I prefer more free form/ad-hoc video capture portals ie. Vurvey.co
When is a file so large that it is no longer considered a number? If it is larger than 16 bytes?

If I remember correctly its also not so difficult to take an arbitrary zip file, append some noise so that it becomes prime (and will still decode). So even illegal primes are not difficult.
Sports Social Media
Hello hackers,
I introduce to you an Instagram-like social media platform for sports enthusiasts. It is a hub where athletes showcase their talents so and connect with their fans. Young Athletes can also be discovered by intermediaries and club managers.
Let me know your thoughts about this!
Cheers.
Technical limitations are the result of humans straining in the direction of producing better things, and needing to make tradeoffs by virtue of not yet being gods. I'd put those as distinct from artificial barriers, which are when a product is intentionally worse than it could be (e.g. detect when running in Wine and refuse to run), and was designed to be so.
> We were violent, suspicious

What's your source? Some people argue the exact opposite. Personally, i don't believe in human nature but i believe in the power of cultures to shape our lives, so the two situations are entirely possible in my view.

> Absent any police force, I can take command of my commune

That's not how it works. It's precisely when there is already power and privilege that a police force is established, to protect those, not the people. When there is less authority/privilege in a community, there is no police force: the people arm and defend themselves directly (popular self-defense).

> I can’t autonomously grow good avocados in New York

Is it a bad thing? I'm not entirely against some goods crossing some distances for some reasons, but of course you couldn't eat avocados in NY everyday.

What good does eating avocados bring to yourself and your community, compared to the social/environmental damages caused by huge monoculture of avocado and transport of it over long distances using fossil fuels?
Cryptocurrencies are an innovation. With all the problems and areas that need improvement, there is undoubtedly some key technology progress here that we're never going back from.

Personally, I think what we're seeing is akin to the first internal combustion engine. It was dirty, low power, fuel hungry, extremely noisy, inefficient, and vibrated so hard no one ever thought you'd be able to attach anything to it. ...and it also made zero people money.

...but eventually it revolutionized transportation.
I love uMatrix but development on it has stopped so it won't receive bug fixes and it will probably stop working someday. I don't think I would recommend new users start using it.

I was under the assumption that it was mostly Cloudflare Warp repackaged with a different name?
Only as wasteful, cynical and purposeless as my dinosaurs. I look at them and feel happy. That’s pretty much it. If I assembled this typewriter, I’d look at it and feel happy.
While I don't see anything stopping them from implementing an API solution, I'm guessing they don't want everyone to have to do n queries every time they need some joined info, but I can't say as I'm not involved in the project, and only overheard managers talking to each other about it.
I've been trying to point this out to people but YouTube personalities have a louder voice than anyone else so you end up with bad information.

Props to Apple for offering an (albeit low entropy) onion router on their own infrastructure. I can't imagine this is going to win them any friends in government circles but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

I'd also really like to see Apple come clean about the iCloud backup encryption debacle. A lot of people are trusting it to be something it's not and it should really be clarified on-device what it is and is not before opting in.
Google does financial services???? Why would you accept that? Don't you have a bank already? Sorry i'm trying not to judge but i seriously don't understand why we would give google even MORE power over our lives than they already have (too much).

Hey, we didn't invent it, we just discovered it ;) Nah, so it's a "kind of". Philosophically, we're much more code-based in our thinking, and have allergic reactions to unnecessary code changes. The design tool doesn't prescribe your styles, but follows what's there and lets you choose. And it's built from the ground up for multi-file projects with different components.

Sometimes just the "I click on something, it opens in the code editor" is a huge time saver compared to "hunt for the element in devtools, search in VSCode for what file that component / instance lives in"
So the first assertion basically
Forth is the grand-daddy I believe.
Kitten is a new one and pretty cool. (search Youtube for a demo)

Concatenative programming is interesting in that the arguments, in and out, are implicit because they typically reside on some form of stack or as objects on a stack. (implementation details)

It might sound useless but one benefit is it simplifies factoring code greatly. If you see a common phrase in your code repeated many times, you can just cut it, paste it into a new definition, replace all the instances of the common phrase with the new definition and everything still works as before.
Yep, my channel (smaller, about 75 people) was unregistered and now some random unregistered person is an op. If I'm going to have to start over, why would I do it on freenode after what they just did?
The great thing about Next.js is that it’s simple to choose exactly how much of a page is ssr. You can have 0% to 100%.
Definitely not a BS reason, at least for me. The less code I write, the less I have to work (in general). If I can reduce total effort, accomplish the goals for those who pay me, and still pull in good income, I'm happy.

If I get bored because I've been so efficient at making the people who pay me happy that I have bored free time, I'll use all that slack time I've buffered up to try something different or new without time pressures, otherwise, maybe I'll just go to the gym or for a walk.

I like programming, but I don't want me entire life to be nothing but programming. I don't know how some code 60+ hours a week every week. I did that when I was a kid and was mesmerized by the computing industry and wanted to know how things worked--I'm no longer mesmerized. The mysticism is gone and for me, it's just about solving interesting problems using computers that improve people's lives. The less code I have to write to survive, the more choice of direction I have in any additional desires to code. If you're doing theoretical CS work then by all means, pursue the mysticism, but that typically isn't in code, that's in developing foundational theory.

I don't want interesting problems in my code if it can be avoided, I want my code to help with interesting problems in the real world. Interesting problems in my code means I have complexity to deal with and makes my software more prone to issues, difficulty maintaining, difficulty adapting. The simpler the solution where feasible, the better.

Some roles don't give you this sort of flexibility to make sure you're not bored and in those roles, that's where you see these elaborate overly complicated systems where people tuck things into the deliverables when they're unneeded. To me, that's a management and/or structural problem. I don't think my desires are all too different than most peoples desires, no matter what people in professional environments say to make sure they still get paid and are professionally progressing.
We have reached Baudrillard Condition 3.
If you think a 1x1 round piece is unusable/pointless, you are truly lacking in imagination.

Even the varied array of "one-off" weirdly specific pieces always find an unexpected application in a pinch somewhere. I've been recently quite entertained by the creative work of a Dublin lego-er making pubs (with many many small 1x1 round pieces, and a selection of weird one-offs for signage/etc.) https://snapwidget.com/embed/927292
Thank you! I’ll fix it :)
I used to feel this way, strongly.

Now I think about whether the downsides of relying on third party dependencies are outweighed by the upsides.

Supply chain attacks are real. Project maintenance suffers for many projects in the long term.

If you can write a left-pad function, just write left-pad.

If you are implementing a 200 page open spec for a system that needs to interoperate with 100s of other systems, consider looking for a community effort to rely on and contribute to.
Quite a book.
Plenty of people want criminals to suffer. Eg, from earlier in this thread:

> In cases where the victim never gets to move on with his or her life how much should we work towards making sure the victimizer can?

Ie, “the perpetrator should suffer at least as much as the victim”. I’m sympathetic to the argument that this is medieval and not aligned with humanist ethics. But plenty of people, at least in the US obviously think this way.
people have been making models for centuries, the only cynical thing here is your opinion
I don't think that's what OP is doing at all, you're just setting up a dunk for yourself. Congrats on saying "Simpsons did it".
Thanks, so had we! It definitely wasn't a "just a few months" thing :) Editors have demanding UX, performance is hard etc. Inspiration definitely came from things like Unity, and native devtools (esp SwiftUI that gave us conviction two-way editing "could be done"). If you're interested in what we're doing and have ideas (or even code) to contribute - it's an open source MIT-licensed project. Would love to chat and learn!
Why?

People use all kinds of substances: caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, modafinil, a myriad of sleeping pills, antidepressants, and painkillers. At different points in time some of them have been banned or regulated, at others available to everyone. As things stand some of them require a prescription from a doctor.

In the vast majority of cases there's little danger to at least trying out stimulants like Adderall or methylphenidate, or substances like modafinil. If people want to try them I think they should be free to do so. If they have to jump through some hoops I see no reason to frown upon it.

Their body, their choice.
Makes sense. As and end user and embedded dev the topic really didn't really phase me that much yet, so I don't really get the race to it. It might be nice, but I am still not fully convinced of a revolution.

Ship life would probably be better than the lives many people experience today, in first world countries. There's also probably some super advanced VR by that time.
Imagine that VR develops over the next few centuries. Millions of people engaged everyday, for 10-12-15 hours. At that point, what’s the difference between being on a ship or being on Earth?
My local concert venue could sign their tickets with 4096-bit RSA, and make us take our shoes off and go through an x-ray before we come in like at an airport. They could have an airtight process; it would stop almost nothing, while making the process far more difficult for patrons.

Yes, I dismiss your desire for an airtight process, because I think it's security theater, whose actual outcomes would be massive and largely detrimental relative to the actual desired outcomes.
All transmissions that are distinguishable from noise are energy loss.

If the ships are big enough, living on them approximates living on a continent / planet…
Yeah but I get to build this typewriter... I derive value from the act of building and replicating the inner mechanisms of a typewriter that I could not build before. Isn't all entertainment somewhat 'wasteful' or 'purposeless' beyond enjoyment?
How about you do things that actually have merit?

Not by some stupid elite standard, but by your own standard.

Stop comparing yourself to others. Be yourself, everyone else is taken.

That's basically what Oil's approach is. Oil is POSIX and bash compatible, but it also has Python-like data structures (recursive dicts, lists). And there's also room to add select/filter/sort. We need help :)

They do think that we want personalised ads, though, and tracking cookies are just the tech-at-hand that is the least-cost way to do that.
Shameless plug: zoxide recently added support for Nushell. It's a smarter cd command for your shell (similar to z or autojump).

https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide
smaller, local(to me) sites have started to have cookie banners that have an effect. My bank, 1/3 of the bigger news sites here etc...

They all started with a single "agree" button, then went to "agree/disagree" with no effect and are finally starting to come around to a functioning disagree button.

GDPR also helps here, as it defined what identifies an individual and that made most of the tracking PII even when it's all merged by a random ID that stays with the user. The effect is slow, but it's starting to work.

Hopefully the next step will be abandoning cookie banners and only using technically required cookies(don't need conset) and/or non-identifying tracking for aggregate results. This is a massive improvment on UX and actually gives the company more quality data that doesn't identify any single individual.

I'm personally pushing for aggregated tracking in my current company. It's an uphill battle, but one that can be won I think.
Thank you. I am only asking here because it's been a couple of weeks since I opened the ticket and trying to contact the author via other means failed.
But people wouldn't be cutting down the rainforest if they weren't rewarded for it. If we patch each problem as it comes along, we're spending a lot of political will on the problem.
My guess is one of the major reasons for having the exit nodes in the same geo location as entry nodes is to have continuous operations in China. Without this constraint, they would have allowed chinese consumers to access the free web, which would ban them instantaneously.

I don't think Apple cares as much about video content providers, though.
Look at well-funded government or other public websites.

That makes me wonder if that means the product of two illegal prime numbers is an illegal number, or if it would be contingent on the computational feasibility of a third party factoring the product.

And if it's generally not feasible to do the factoring, what if you distribute the product of an illegal prime number and a non-illegal prime number? The product itself cannot be illegal, as nobody other than its creator could even detect an illegal prime was there, let alone determine its value. That is, unless you made the non-illegal prime number public... which would result in the illegal prime number being public, so it's illegal! You just made a non-illegal prime number illegal by multiplying it by an illegal prime number! How many primes can we illegalise this way?
There was a disinformation campaign against Hydroxychloroquine. In the failed JAMA study, they administered a nearly toxic dose at late stage patients (when there's no viral replication). This is now being investigated.

Meritocracy?! Ha! I have a bridge to sell to anyone thinking these "artists" and "intellectuals" on television and social media got there on merit.

The dark path would be to amplify any race/gender/sexual identity credits you may have, and do fan service for the regime. The light path is to work a real job like electrician/plumber/mechanic/hvac. It's honest work, and I know electricians who make more than managers at google.

You obviously live in a bubble. In USA or France, there's millions of people living below the poverty line despite residing in the richest nations on Earth (that are so rich because they are pillaging every other nation there is through neocolonial schemes).

There's countless homeless folks and even more mishoused folks and persons forced to live in bad conditions despite there being millions of empty apartments...

> economic shrinkage is a solution

Economic shrinkage is the only solution is you want the next generation to have drinkable water. All scientists agree we can't go on like that, it's not exactly rocket science.

> the problem isn't economic growth, but pollution and other ways of exploiting nature

It's entirely correlated. There is no economic growth without extractivism. Hence the degrowth movement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrowth
In a global economy, taxation goes global too
Your comment is interesting, but thinking about it, this is the most likely thing to happen:

Any technological advance in interplanetary travel speed or new technologies of renewable and easy source of energy, would promote expansion. The new arrivals to an empty planet could start all over again, claim the resources as theirs, organize their own laws. And if they are overcome somehow move to other planets and start all over again...I think there is wave coming our way if we think about it.
The same here, also in my case at least 90% of the time when there is a problem I know where the problem is I just need to look at a couple things and confirm which of a couple scenarios could be causing the problem.
That would be an incorrect assumption. It's an onion that goes to Apple first and then to a variety of external vendors -- Fastly, Cloudflare, Akamai, and likely others.
Maybe the closest analog is: imagine if you have that type of magic hydrophobic sand that doesn't get wet, like you can buy for kids. So you have a sandbox with this, and initially there is a big circular valley in the middle of the sandbox that is filled with water. Then you can slowly move the sand around, making different hills and valleys, and the water will follow the sand always in the minimum energy configuration, until the shape of the lakes in that terrain represent the solution to whatever problem you care about. Then you take a photo and measure exactly the distances, angles, areas etc.

With this analogy you get some feeling for what manipulating the ground state means, and why you need to do so slowly, and also that this is not a tool that will solve all types of problems.
If you don't need anything else, it does.
This is amazing, does it point to the event handler as well?
Colour me a little disappointed.

Firstly, this seems obvious. The conclusion of "even really slow spaceships will colonise the galaxy given enough time" is almost mind-numbingly banal.

Secondly, the parameters seem to be chosen in order to produce an "interesting" propagation pattern, rather than based on any actual data or guesstimates (I know there is no data, but making shit up is no substitute).

Thirdly, it doesn't answer the big important question of "where are they?" (as fnord77 asks). Saying "even really slow spaceships will colonise the galaxy given enough time" brings us immediately right back to "how much is enough time to colonise the entire galaxy?" which they then say is ~1 billion years.

Fourthly, but they're not here. So the answer to that question must be "over ~10 billion years". So either the simulation is wrong (because it takes longer than ~1 billion years) or it's pointless (because the only other explanation is that there has been no such colonisation effort, so why are we modelling it?). This wasn't addressed at all.

Fifthly, this assumes that all solar systems can be colonised, and will produce another colony ship 100,000 years later (for inadequately explained reasons). Given that we know a fair bit about the actual galaxy (though the simulation doesn't look anything like our actual galaxy), why didn't they run the simulation on our actual galaxy, and exclude the stars that we know can't be colonised (because red giant, etc)?

Finally. Is this the state of cutting-edge research on SETI? This wishful-thinking make-believe "look what I made Mum!" stuff? If this was a bootcamp dev showing off their WebGL modelling demo, I'd be impressed. 'nuff said. Sorry to be harsh, but... really? this is it?

The BBC aren't allowed to. There are very strict terms in which the BBC can operate. So what they have to do is sell to subsidiaries like BBC America. And there in lies the licensing issues described in the GPs post.

This is one of those classic examples of something that looks really simple from an outsiders perspective but once you have to deal with the details you realise it's anything but simple. And through no fault of the BBC either, I might add. Various commercial stations and news outlets have campaigned relentlessly to shut the Beeb down. It's a miracle the service is still operating, even if their hands are tightly tied.
Moderation, avoiding extremes, yin and yang etc are core ideas in a lot of philosophies. I am well aware of that.

While I can not be completely exhaustive in HN comment, I did point out that my issue is with having a philosophy that predetermines in a generalized way where that golden middle way is. And the difference between seeing it in hindsight and trying to predict it.

I do not find philosophies useless, just not recipes for living your life like the author of the article tries.
Thank you for the kind words! From the germ of the "code is source of truth, code editor and design tool are just lenses to edit it" to where we are today, about 2 years with a small team. A lot of it went into "table stakes" (VSCode-in-the-browser, multifile, npm imports, console, performance, real-time updates). The design tool side has had a lot of experiments and prototypes, and is finally getting the love it deserves :)
