> ... when you can just master the official command line client and forget about the rest?

I generally agree, I want the full git interface, which is available everywhere and has no limitations and is not bound to a particular editor.

There is however one area I do find useful to have integrated into an editor, various kinds of code annotations... e.g gitgutter, I use this in vim - these type of features compliment git porcelain rather than replace it. i.e gitgutter is no git diff, but it gives you a good feel for what's been changed before you jump into staging. I've never used magit, I wonder if it has such features? or is it really only a git porcelain shortcut?
You mean the git cli often acclaimed for it's poor ergonomics?

In any case, Magit is great for two things: easy to use and learn, and interactive features. If you made two separate changes in a single file, you might want to have them on different commits. Doing that on the CLI is tedious at best.

Magit makes doing things like that trivial, which results in better commit hygiene.

For me, Magit's killer feature is that it provides something equivalent to "git add --interactive" but with a much nicer UI. If you're interactively adding things to a commit then you are effectively editing a text file, and that's always going to be easier in a proper text editor than on the command line. Magit can show you all of the hunks that can be staged simultaneously, allowing you to choose, split, edit, and delete them with a full contextual overview, rather than sequentially.

If make multiple edits to different files before committing, this can be very useful to ensure that the commit makes sense, doesn't include logically unrelated changes, and so on. Or, if you follow a "commit early, commit often" approach, Magit's interface is also nice for restructuring those commits during a rebase/squash.

Perhaps it helps to think of commits as documents in their own right, as commits are effectively patch files, at which point it makes sense to use an editor to, well, edit them.
What you forget here is these SaaS companies are just that - companies. Sure, you probably are not going to exceed Microsoft’s security controls internally but there are a LOT of SaaS companies with awful security. Cloud Risk Assessments are a joke half the time because the information available/what they will share is usually pretty limited.

I have also seen fuckery comparable to exposed XP. Most companies WOULD be better trusting the black box that is the cloud.
Yeah, it's literally the etymology of "robot".
PoW undermines our attempts to fight climate change, there's tons of examples of fossil fuel power plants being used for the sole purpose of running "crypto" "currencies". That is a very direct threat to our survival as a species.

Additionally, unregulated currency in general undermines the international political system itself, by allowing rogue states and terrorist organisations to completely bypass attempts at embargoing them. Or in case of organisations like the CIA, any attempts at governmental oversight – the situation was already bad before bitcoin, it's completely hopeless now.
Pedantic and wrong. Considering there is no known algorithm that can sat solve in P, nobody in the world can do well in the worst case. And if nobody can do it, then you can't do it either, for any you. QED.
What serious global power hasn't done awful things? Morality is a social construct and continually evolving. I'm not sure what you would want me to do that you would not consider 'brushing aside' - I certainly think many US actions have been horrendous. My comparison is what the situation would have been if there was another superpower (e.g. the Soviet Union post WWII or China now) or no superpower and I think the world would be less prosperous and more violent.

Indeed, there is no way to appoint someone to be the global police officer, the U.S. took that upon themselves sometimes to the benefit, sometimes the detriment of the rest of the world and itself (as you can see by just how much pushback there is on both the right and the left in America about America's role in the world). I just don't agree that it's been net negative.
It doesn't include time parameters, yet we have had curfews here as the virus spreads more after dark. It seems to make assumptions that are unproven, like reusing the same mask day after day (like the vast majority of the public do) makes some kind of improvement.
Imagine if there was a tamper-proof ledger of who owns what shares of what companies in such a way that no new shares could be issued and existing shareholders could not be diluted in any way. Tamper-proof in this case means that even the company directors themselves could not modify it, even if all of them wanted to.

Now imagine if all share buybacks (which were purchased by the company on the open market in exchange for real money and then permanently taken out of circulation) where recorded on this ledger in such a way that it could not possibly have been faked (can be independently verified using cryptography).

If you see the value in this hypothetical scenario above, then you see the value of our use case.
Yeah, that's exactly the thing i've noticed.

But why ?? isn't a camera supposed to give you "crisp" pictures instead of artistic / smeared renditions of reality ?

Cloudflare IP Grabbing POC
https://www.falsywinch.net/YourIpAddress

This is purely a proof of concept and no information is logged by me at this URL or any other except one other url which sends data to a google bucket.

When the logging is active, the whole process from you pressing enter at your browser to the
final result being loaded takes ~30ms to happen.
This POC proves that cloudflare workers can be used to MITM traffic destined for secure websites and extract information about client sessions connected to a domain, including IP's. Cloudflare could also easily open their doors to other sources of authority looking to add "workers" to "domains" that would essentially perform the exact same tasks, without the domain owner knowing about it.

It is known that cloudflare is a potential security liability- this just makes it more obvious.
Using cloudflare, I can quickly get the following JSON blob, this censored example used is from a known botnet:

{"IP":"103.142.140.*","URL":"https://www.falsywinch.net/admin?g72306149495b1929170348415p23221724695e227986192022B","Country":"SG","Browser":"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0","Timestamp":"1625724521662"},

Using this, I am able to get the URL along with some fingerprinting, a timestamp, and an IP.
I could also code up additional functions to do other things before the user is redirected.

Note: Please do not fuzz my website. I am on food stamps, extremely poor, and I could barely afford the domain($15), the cloudflare worker($5), and the google bucket(free up to a point).
I already got fuzzed to nearly a million requests in 5 minutes and I locked some things down, but still.
There is only one event that happened, the question is how much time we will measure between that moment and the photons of the event reaching earth.

In the reference frame of earth it is 31 mio years. In frames that move faster and faster to the speed of light, relative to ours, this would take less and less time, an effect known as time dilation.

Obviously the article means that 3 hours after the first photons of this event reached earth (and we see it as happened), we managed to aim our sensors towards it and start measuring. It looks a bit clumsy indeed.
The smell from vaping is not comparable and it goes away quick, at least if you are not using some fancy liquid. Even if it doesn't, it's no worse than the smell of kebab which people are allowed to eat indoors.
I'm really curious to learn what kind of people those criminals are.

I guess geopolitics are involved, those groups being protected or helped by some countries like Russia or China. Biden showed Putin a "no hit list" of cyber targets that are off limits.

I guess the world is very close from passing regulations and laws regarding cyber security standards.

> As far as I know there are legal proceedings ongoing agains Tether - I don't think this is a conspiracy theory.

Even so, how do you go from "there are legal proceedings against Tether" to "there seems to be very credible evidence that Tether and other stablecoins are essentially fraud"?

Being hyperbolic does not help your argument here... it just makes it seem like you don't know what you are talking about (i.e. you don't know the difference between USDT, USDC and DAI, for example).

> I know this is a common argumentative tactic to attempt to get people to change their mind.

You seem to be under the impression that people are trying to change your mind, rather than simply pointing out the flaws, leaps-of-faith and speculation in your argumentation.

I would be very surprised if anyone actually argued that.
> Scientism has become the state religion and companies are paying for indulgences.

I was unfamiliar with that term and googled it: it's described as "excessive belief in the power of scientific knowledge and techniques". I'm struggling a bit to understand how a belief in the importance of scientific knowledge and techniques equates to a religious mindset.

In an ideal world, I would absolutely prefer my government to make decisions based on facts and methods of finding out more facts. Currently, that's only one small part of our governmental decision making process, with the other notable parts being powerful special interests and public opinion.

Could you elaborate a bit on what exactly you meant by this?
Similar but not equal.

Part of the enthusiasm around these platforms is in the idea of decentralization of art assets (which cannot be achieved with a central database). See the latter part of the post you replied to.
The explanations provided in the article are at best educated guesses and overall quite unsatisfactory. Honestly I don't know much about football and I only rarely watch matches, but somehow I got the feeling that over the years the sport has become more "athletic" and "mechanics-driven" (terms I just made up) as opposed to "artistic" and "technical" (again my terms). Does this make sense to anybody else? Could this be a cause for the increase in own-goals (things are happening way faster etc.)?
Nope, you got it all backwards, it was you and others not supporting FF and IE that made this happen.

It is just like giving money to Apple and Microsoft, for UNIX and WSL, instead of buying from Linux OEMs, and then complaining about the sore state of GNU/Linux desktop.

> he standard representation of such a formula is the conjunctive normal form, or simply: AND-of-ORs. Our previous example would look like this when transformed:

A and B and (A or B) and (!A or !B)

There is another normal form, the disjunctive normal form. This is in the form of An OR of ANDs. Interestingly, every formula can be represented in this form. And SAT is rather easy to determine for this form.

The catch is that taking a logical formula, and placing it in Disjunctive normal form is actually a rather arduous, non polynomial process.

I mean, yeah they're a smoking cessation tool which has been taken up by non-smokers, like any other drug with somewhat recreational effects out there.

Vaping for fun can be done without nicotine, though. They could place some more visible stickers that say "Smoke only nicotine free - same fun, no stupid addiction!" or something.

And locking e-cigarettes behind a prescription would just make people continue smoking the freely available tobacco products. Nicotine patches failed to gain wide adoption in part because of that.

>The prices in the US aren't actually a serious problem any longer

I pay $23 including taxes and fees for two unlimited Sprint lines.

Admittedly, one is the $15 Kickstart plan available for two weeks in June 2018, and the other is a free line that Sprint last year gave out to almost everyone with at least one paid line.

But if I didn't have such plans, I'd pay $25 (after joining a discount group, which is trivial) for unlimited prepaid service from Visible. Or $30 for unlimited from Mint. Etc., etc.

>People come on HN and say things like: well I'm in Latvia and I pay €12 and get unlimited data. Well yeah, adjust that to the US and it's €48 (~$56).

Correct. Further, that US plan provides service everywhere in the country, from San Diego to Portland (either one), from Seattle to Miami, from Honolulu to Anchorage to Charlotte. Yes, there are European mobile plans that also offer all-inclusive coverage across the continent, but the super-cheap plans that are cited in these sorts of discussions usually aren't among them.

I guess in Raku you would create a Boat role, and you would create a clone of a House instance with the Boat role mixed in, when needed.

In Raku speak:

my $house = House.new;
my $houseboat = $house but Boat;

There would be no need to de-compose.
As you yourself point out downthread, the award of this goal was disputed at the time, and the guidance hasn't changed. Plus unlike the Ferdinand header, nobody could have thought the cross that Kjaer diverted into his own net last night was a shot on target.

It might be a factor in some goals not being recorded as own goals in the dim and distant days before multi-angle TV replays, but can't possibly explain a spectacular rise in own goals since 2016. Ferdinand-style goal awards are as rare if not rarer than recorded own goals in recent tournament history
I believe there are limits to recursion (as mentioned in link above), so not strictly true. Perhaps they are too big?
The problem is they allow VNC in their rules. Which means you can just remote into a regular computer.

Take that part away and it's interesting.

I think that is just a weakness in their rules rather than the overall concept though.
Depends on the OS and if the compiler toolchain is bootstraped or not.

Apparently many forget C was on that role as well.
The US produces 200 million tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) per year, ignoring the parts recycled or composted. Most copper production is not from recycled metal (< 10% is recycled from post consumer waste). US copper consumption is about 1.7 million tonnes per year. So, if all the copper used ends up in MSW (which is likely an exaggeration), the landfills would be nearly 1% copper.

I'm not a native English speaker, but I thought "you can't do well" is equivalent to "it's impossible to do well", which is how I read the original sentence.

As an aside, I find it a bit ironic that you're complaining about pedantry while interpreting the "you" word literally.
> I will 100% die on the hill arguing that the US is a better global actor than China

You dodged the question. "Better" means nothing when we're talking about two really bad choices. There's a world of difference between good and better. If "better" was enough we'd all poke out one eye because it's objectively better than poking out both. But I think we can agree that they're both very bad options.

When someone says the US has been collecting DNA data for years justifying it by "China is doing bad stuff" adds nothing to the conversation. Neither should do it.

> this is the age we live in and I don't really care.

This is the product of a severely compromised education system. Opinions are fed to people rather than formed by careful analysis. And usually end with an "I don't care" when at a loss for words.

> Of course global spying is bad but [I don't really care]

> Of course the treatment of black people is awful but [I don't really care]

> Of course the war on terror is a moral failure but [I don't really care]

When your only moral benchmark is China do you actually have a defensible position when doing some things they also do?

That's quite outrageous.

If this special issue was peer-reviewed, people donated their time for free to publish 11 studies with potentially severe conflicts of interest.

If the issue was not peer-reviewed, then the editors handed out free publication for money, which is what predatory journals do.

There is no way to spin this as remotely related to good scientific practice, which would mean:

- Funding is independent of results

- Double-blind peer review

- Pre-registration wherever possible
I'm not who you replied to, but I've experienced this with some of my friends.

Some people believe in science. They don't take the facts and understand them, they just say "Science says this is true. Anyone who disagrees needs to be shouted down." They will shame people for expressing any doubt against a "scientific consensus". This is actually the opposite of science.

For instance, the Theory of Gravity. I know people who take it to be a law, even though science itself hasn't moved it into that category. If you dare to suggest that there might be some as-yet-undiscovered mechanism for gravity, they will literally get louder and louder until you stop arguing. They won't provide any evidence, they'll just keep saying the same thing over and over.

And it happens for this that are much less certain, too.
Science is myopic by construction. Science does not consider what questions to answer, but rather tries to answer what can be answered. Science cannot tell you how to run a country or city. It can, at best, tell you how NOT to.

Over reliance on science as guidance has also lead to some of the darkest chapters of human history, like phrenology and its use to justify racial supremacy.
This is the part that annoys me:

"Yes, you can rebuild Audacity with all networking features disabled. You don’t even need to use any build configure switches for that. On the contrary, you need to enable networking if you specifically want that in your custom build. If you rely on the official build for Windows or macOS, you have to opt out of networking features."

The average user will never build the software. The natural pattern should be to prompt the user on installation to enable automated bug reporting. Simple as that.

> ...since the data can't be linked to people's identities.

Well, 23andMe does "know" the identity of each individual. They know their name, their relatives, a lot about their genetics, and if given consent, store actual dna (biobanking) so that in the future other tests can be run. That's a lot of sensitive information for one entity to own.

Can we assume that 23andMe is at least very competent with security and PII, that they've taken enough safeguards to prevent hackers from stealing the keys to the kingdom? ehh maybe. Can we assume that they won't simply bend over when acquired by another less scrupulous entity? Nope. Can we assume that a future authoritarian government won't simply commandeer data whenever it likes like the CCP already does with Chinese companies? Hell no.

More to the point, however, is that folks are limiting the discussion to information about "individuals". Everyone imagines the consequences of individuals being targeted using this data. But really, geopolitical concerns don't care about individuals (modulo a very small number of key people). They care about populations. So even if individual information is kept safe, there's still awful things a bad actor can do with genetic data from everyone even without identifying individuals. That's what the concern is here.

23andMe has the same ultimate risks as BGI. It's just that BGI has skipped a few steps and gone further along in the dystopian nightmare by virtue of the fact that they're a Chinese company and utterly at the service of the CCP.
