GP could easily have taken 20 minutes to read the article and comments before wading in. I know I've posted replies after leaving a tab open for hours before.
This is hard to understand, I think... mainly because not many people are fond of sites like 4chan and so the culture in there is quite particular, even changing dramatically from one board to another...

What happened, beyond the fact that Audacity's maintainers decided to include some telemetry and made some changes to the PA, was that the community around Audacity reacted with anger, and some people called for a fork to be made.

A developer took the call and forked the project. They assembled a team and unfortunately, now is when the actual shit storm begins, they came up with the idea of asking the community on Github to vote for a new name for the fork... Word of this got to 4chan's /g/ (technology) board and they decided to participate with the name 'Sneedacity' (which refers to a meme you can find by searching 'Sneed feed and seed').

They eventually won the vote but the maintainer, realizing this was obviously a piss-take by 4chan decided it was reasonable not to rename the fork. This should've been the end of it, but because this is the internet what on most cases would've been the correct cause of action became a direct inflammatory action against the /g/ board.

From here on there was numerous threads created on 4chan that more or less meme'd around with Audacity's fork new maintainer. At the moment, there's about 10 threads each one with around 300-odd replies (due to bump limitation). Most of them are quite satirical and at the most perverse and abusive but there is a distinct lack of 'calls for action' which further exacerbated people on 4chan, since there are several claims of this kind made on Github.

Personally I did went through every thread and there is an open debate over the fact that at least part of the new Audacity (fork) team seemed to have been posting self-doxing statements... Because posts on 4chan are anonymous it is virtually impossible to confirm this...

Either way, I'm sure this has been quite an unpleasant experience to the developer that forked Audacity. Its a classic prank going out of control because some people are just likely to push things to the limit, specially if they can do so in total impunity.
> Teams produce less working code

I write code for living, and I want to produce as little code as I can. That's also part of the agile principle, produce what is needed.

> Scrum ceremonies become more inane and waste development cycles

The complexity of a team is greater than just its output. I don't know the context of the ceremonies, but sometimes reflection on what has happened is important, and definitely the planning part sound important.

> Lower quality code is produced, more slowly

Ummmm what? There might be an argument to be made about not having a design document which maps out the entirety of project but code quality is based on best practices, testing etc.

> Software engineers enjoy less and less career satisfaction

Really! This one is hard to digest, if you expect satisfaction to come from external sources then that's going to be a problem. But what is career satisfaction, I have not worked for one company where someone is satisfied by all the processes.

> Product knowledge is lost over time
> Process knowledge is lost over time

Yeah that's a general problem, for all types of project and product management.

> Developer's wages are being suppressed by forcing them to report to low paid laymen with Scrum certification

At least it's not an argument blaming offshoring.

> Scrum planning and grooming never produce anything close to predictable velocities or deliverable dates even after years of scrum on the same team

I doubt even almost all projects pass the three tiers of development, on time, on cost, bug free. This is not unique to scrum.

> Scrum masters who are mostly unqualified laymen, treat developers defensively and increasingly with hostility

Given the tone of the site, I see hostility is no unique to scrum masters :)

The majority of the rest are not failings of scrum, rather process failures. If you have a Scrum master who is writing tickets or not enforcing ticket structure which leads to those tickets missing vital information, you can point your finger straight at the scrum master. I had this situation with a product manager and after a cordial conversation, the tickets change, then they went back to not writing them correctly. That was not a failure of scrum.

TRX Infinity – How to Earn Crypto Trons Virally
Tencent deploys facial recognition to detect minors gaming at night
Any anonymous website, including 4chan, is extremely easy to "game" in the way you describe, but "the site is full of propaganda from government and entities with enough capital to pay astroturfers" and saying it's safe to assume a government, bank, or large company is secretly weaponizing 4chan to raid this repository owner sounds very similar to one of the standard paranoid conspiracy theories that circulate on the site (Pizzagate, QAnon, etc.).

I'm sure some shady interference from external actors does sometimes happen on the site, but in a scenario like this, I would bet a lot of money 99 - 100% of the people involved are just /g/ trolls who think it's funny to harass the guy. This "it wasn't us!" reasoning reminds me a lot of the Gamergate people who insisted anyone harassing people was actually a false flag by someone trying to make their side look bad.

Looks like it's all-on by default and you're toggling items off .. which means the colour coding is ok but the ux may be counter-intuitive for some? Not to mention the white highlighting looks like text inputs (the subtitle could easily be mistaken for a search bar).

Personally, I'd have gone with an "all on" toggle that gets deactivated if you activate any of the individual categories. Not a deal breaker.
It'd kinds depend on which of the 19 loved lead containing food, there was only about 70 years of conquest over that period. But I think the overall goal of that unrelated claim was just to show lead poisoning likely did happen, with other things claiming it became more wide spread.

Obscurantism isn't anything new, over to the East Chinese ancient philosopher LaoZi famously quipped in 65th chapter
interpretation may vary, but looking it naively and translating directly comes to

those who are good at ruling, kept people stupid. for knowledge make them harder to rule.

for those oppose this translation, argues on the word "ignorant" and it's definition by Laozi which meant earnest rather than ignorant.

So it's really advocating an honest, earnest society with high trust model where ruler and it's populace cooperate.

But the fact remains both interpretation exists, and I'd wager the current Chinese government is the supporter of the former naive translation.

Anyway just some knee jerk thoughts reading this article, it's always fascinating to see different culture collide on the same pain points.

When did "AI" come to be a synonym for machine learning? I missed the memo. I thought it was a fuzzy piece of marketing jargon.
If you were that concerned exactly following the rules that change on a daily basis and are so difficult to decipher, why would you trust a journalist to get it right for you? What country, by the way, I'd like to see these crazy rules for myself.

And by over complicating it, I'm talking about this exponential backoff algorithm. You can read the news if you want, don't feel bad about it. Nothing bad is going to happen and you won't miss out on much if you don't though. And I promise you you would spend more time scouring the news for 9/11 type events than you would spend stuck in airports due to said events because you didn't read the news.

They are trying to get on his nerves, he should go to the police and stop seething on the internet cause he's giving them plenty of what they really want.
Thank you. Thank you.

The Hn filter is brutal. It might be costing people the opportunity of their lifetime.
Very interesting article, would definitely like to read the paper when I get the time.

Something I would like to understand is how these old systems scaled the reference measurements to order of magnitude larger/smaller weights to measure. Up until recently (before the SI redefinition of weight to physical constants) this was an issue even with the modern definition of the kg where for measuring larger and larger weights we essentially have to resort to larger reference weights. And in doing so the manufacturing complexity grows significantly if you want to hold the same uncertainty (as a %). And of course, this applies when measuring masses significantly smaller than the reference 1kg prototype.
> I’ve been thinking of tweeting my home address, so this is a relevant concern.

Giving out their home address didn't work out well for Tony Stark in "Iron Man 3" or for this guy in New Jersey [1], but they both had done things to get some people really annoyed with them.

So at the very least make sure that you don't have anyone out there who is really annoyed with you and has only been prevented from forcefully expressing that annoyance because they do not know where you live.

>You and others have come onto this site and continued the harassment via telecommunications devices.

I use this forum everyday because it is a place for civilized communication with strangers, let's keep it that way, eh? This suggestion that I'm gaslighting or cyberstalking you is why the laws that define those terms are incompatible with a Free and Open society. You're just mad and want the government to make you feel better by getting some revenge for you and don't care if that effects other peoples ability to speak in the future about something actually important.

I guess this depends on how you define "most".
Would you have said the same when we moved from measuring stock prices in increments of dubloons to decimals?

Where does all this HN hostility come from, I thought this crypto stuff would mesh so well with the Silicon Valley mindset. Trading should be instant, totally free, in any increment you choose, across borders! That’s the kind of mentality we apply to so much else in tech right? Is this really a bunch of hackers defending oppressive government regulations written by lobbyists for oligopolies?

Since when does Silicon Valley defend the old ways?

Don't know why this is getting downvoted; it's an interesting question, if a simple top-level one. I'm not sure myself why the DoD can't just build its own "cloud" with a $10 billion dollar budget, instead of putting the security of our military apparatus in the hands of some private company.
If I run into one re-paste of the threads that details these practices I will link it. The threads in 4chan disappear within days from their official archive. There is also a long term archive hosted by a third party, but apparently you cannot trust it.

I honestly try to not visit the place, except when I want to pick up unknown crypto tokens that will get pumped. Like I said, the site is full of propaganda and sometimes it messes up with your perception of reality.
What's the best time to find a co founder, and also how does the equity part work?

For example, I've been spending the last 6 months learning as much as I can about business around an idea I've had. That's involved creating marketing materials, building surveys and gathering user feedback, putting together TOS & privacy policy, attending small business courses to learn accounting basics, learning figma and spending hours watching YT videos or perusing dribbble to come up with inspiration for my own design, and since I'm an engineer by profession - building the thing so I can run the progress by some of the survey/feedback group.

Obviously I'm still a beginner, so I'm just curious if anyone would mind answer a noob :D

It hasn't replaced it. But it does compete with it for some things.

Payments with BTC certainly isn't competitive. But that probably won't last.

Maybe we'll still need branches. Not everybody can deal with the security required for crypto and there will probably be companies that help people treat it like a regular bank.

Inflation is a real issue and Hitler came to power after the hyperinflation in the Weimar republic. Fiat made that possible.

But Germany still would have had to pay the WW1 reparations somehow. With very high taxation probably.

But the hyperinflation happens after multiple years of expanding the currency too much, often with little impact for several years. That can destroy confidence in government in a way that consistently high but stable taxation might not.
Oh, Internet shills are real. What I personally found funny is apparently shills for Tesla cars is substituted with own lightly trained staffs and they are sort of prone to manipulation themselves.

But calling out Exxon on 4chan? That’s brave.

When I think about Linus’ lack of objection to Rust I immediately think about his vocal disdain for C++

When I learned rust I thought it felt more C-like than C++ to be honest. Nowadays I’m pretty happy to be in this c to rust to c loop.

I think you’re exactly right about c++ not offering much benefit to someone like Linus. It’s much simpler than c++. Rust has also informed the way I write C (granted, I’ve also gained more experience along the way, but rust forced me to have more discipline for sure).

I definitely heard that expression a lot in regards to C++. That being said I would argue that Rust pushes the concept further thanks to its more powerful and expressive (if also more constraining) type system.

> the language and the community have a certain militant attitude associated with them.

I'm not even sure what this means. What do you consider a militant attitude in this context? From what I've seen, most Rust evangelists (at least here) try to explain its benefits while acknowledging cases where it may not provide something better and is instead equivalent but different or slightly worse (it's not like any language can be better in every respect).

> the very limited benefits one would get out of adding a few drops of memory safety into a sea of C, one has to conclude that technical merit alone does not explain this decision.

I don't think that's a valid conclusion, but even if it is, you haven't explained it well enough. You haven't addressed how much more complex Rust is than C no how limited the benefits would be. You've provided a tiny bit more information than "it's not worth it", which I think is far from sufficient to support that position in a discussion that can have as much depth as is easily achieved here.

> In any case, I don't think Linus will write another language rant after he had an epiphany about his "unprofessional" attitude.

It's not like he's stopped calling being stupid for acting stupid or refrained from criticizing technologies he thinks deserves it. There are recent cases (mentioned in this discussion) that outline recent cases where he's done so. I'm not sure why you would assume he's all of a sudden deciding to keep his mouth shut about what would be valid concerns to bring forth if he had them, nothing to do with interpersonal communication problems he's had in the past.
> So for now I have to write my code in the promise.then(…) style instead of using a proper yield.

Well - using ".then()" is the proper way of doing things. Just add do-notation and you are good.

Real progress would be something that can force Moxie Marlinspike, who lives in the US, to introduce a backdoor.

They can't easily shut the service down without risking a lot of unwanted public attention. When "why can't I message grandma" is answered with "here's the list of politicians that caused that because they want to spy on your messages", those politicians will have a bad time. I think Signal is popular enough in Europe to be protected by this.
What makes you think they would have stopped the ongoing harassment if the maintainer just hadn't quoted them?

Yielding to 4chan trolls could be prudent. It isn't democracy.
Closest thing would be a level editor, which is very much a CSG-based CAD program with roots going back to the Quake 1 generation. It's just not geared towards typical production applications where real objects are being machined.

Legally, I guess it depends on the state and country. If a company approves a LOA but changes its mind, perhaps that would be counted as a termination and make the person eligible for severance, unemployment, etc. I'm not a lawyer and this is tricky stuff. But from a human perspective, there is some expectation that HR or the manager would try to help the employee return back after the LOA.
I wonder how the recovery of stolen artworks plays out with insurance. If a museum's (or ultimate owner's) insurance company pays out for the theft, and then a decade later the works are recovered, does the museum (or owner) have to return funds to the insurance company? What if the museum is not in a financial position to do so... could they be forced, ironically, to sell the recovered art?
But before enough prolonged use to cause that, aren't you already addicted, for practical purposes?
Judd made Marfa and died before it ever became what it was today. Secretive group of artists and the like came later and in the end, all good towns need an industry and Marfa’s real industry is tourism of people coming to see the art and related art that has sprung up.

Even terralingua has a restaurant with a two hour wait now. Tourism is the only real driver of a small town booming imo.

Marfa also does not have a lot of services that are needed for anyone older than 50, like a hospital.

The reason why it is called "cliodynamics" is because Turchin isn't the first person to have considered this topic.

The term "cliodynamics" comes from "cliometrics" (after the Greek god of history, Clio), which was a term invented in the 60s to describe the quantitative study of history (typically, economic history). Cliodynamics, the term invented by Turchin, seems to refer only to the background of those doing the studying (and using tools from the sciences) i.e. they are "scientists", not "historians".
