Characterising people who want free speech as the criminals who will use that speech for the worst ends is no different to people who opposed a fair trial for all because criminals would want a chance to avoid jail.
Also less people producing things so prices rise. (Global phenomenon - this might recede here but supple is constrained globally)
> regular folk don’t care about any of this

Regular people don't care about operating systems, yet many of us are able to have a superior desktop experience by using Linux.

Regular people don't care about fine music, but we're still able to listen to Mussorgsky and are not forced to listen to Ariane Grande.

Regular people don't care enough about technology to sit around discussing it in their spare time, and yet here we are.

There's a lot of things that regular people don't care about.
Let's concentrate on making something good, that enough people will use, rather than winning a popularity contest.
I LOVE this book - this is one of those books I recommend reading just for the joy of programming. It explains the concepts so well that you can hop in even without a background in the subject!

Back in college I ended up making my own tracer after reading this for fun, implementing features and tweaking it until I got bored.

Here's some pictures if you're curious to see how it evolved as I made my way through the book:

I use Linux, discuss political ideas on private, members-only forums, and share memes over Signal. This is an excellent setup... if you want to have conversations with your fellow computer janitors.

This is no way to connect to other people. And these people might also have interesting ideas, ideas I might want to hear before some bot at Facebooks deems them against "community standards" or whatever they call their censorship that is totally not censorship.
Yes, but Microsoft and Samsung are adding privacy features to their browsers. Specifically, tracking protection. I can’t imagine Google adding tracking protection to Chrome. That’s the difference.

If you actually understood your own link you would see that there is no reason to trace every pixel on the screen when you can make a bounding box that covers motion and trace the vertices.

Anyone familiar with game engine programming would never consider what you are saying. That link is a more in depth version of what I just said, ray casts are being done on the server for visibility and have nothing to do with rendering the game to do it. It is literally demonstrating that they are already doing what people were wondering about.
>A server in UK is not legally, (or technically) protected <snip> a free for all

So exactly like servers from Facebook, Signal, Google, German police, etc. anywhere on earth. Just ask NSA (or Snowden). This is the whole China debate over again: Who would you rather that have access to all your old data the day something you did years ago suddenly become a danger to you because some fascist person became a dictator? China, who likely cannot touch you if you are outside Mainland China or the US, who will happily kidnap you from almost any place on earth if they dislike you enough (often with local help)? I'd rather put my eggs in a Chinese (or Russian) basket than a US/UK one if I had to pick only between those options.
That can only happen if you gave government the ability to throw you in prison for that, and then somehow a tiny minority got into government and abused the power you gave them.
It's an honorable call but most people can't follow it -- like my dad. They're too entrenched.

It's not reasonable, in a connected world-system like today's, to put all the burden on individual people to instantly switch away from bad providers, no matter the level of entrenchment.

Isn't one important role of government to protect constituents from corporate encroachment? Have we given up on electing governments that work for us?
Definitely not normal, something eating lots of memory? Bug in some iCloud sync bs? If you’re really keen on finding out what’s going on, you can look at the system logs through xcode.
I've also found that docker-compose provides the ideal level of abstraction for most solo founders / small teams / early stage companies and projects.

Unless you're already extremely experienced with Kubernetes, or are in the very rare scenario where you truly have no choice but to rapidly, massively scale very early on, I'd say it's probably typically a mistake to start a brand new project with Kubernetes instead of something lighter like docker-compose. (The only other reason, I suppose, would be if you just intrinsically really want to learn it and don't have growth as your primary goal at that time. Just be sure to fully understand the opportunity cost.)
Thanks for the clarification. Cool to see that you are on here too :)
I hope you always wear pants while using your phone. Otherwise how can you be sure to never having pointed your smartphone camera in your nude genitalia's direction? A hacker could've been filming and potentially ended your life through a devastating leak.
> To be fair to them, they were probably advised to act in this manner by their lawyers.

Probably? Don't you think that's something that should be investigated and people held accountable for?

Nope, doesn't matter, only the stupid software bugs here need to be investigated. Got it.
Please see my other comment. There is absolutely no expectation that it is possible to simply think ones way out of depression. Having already said enough that can be misinterpreted I will say only that clinical depression (and many other diagnoses) fall into a different category. The attempts by various parts of society to pretend that either there is no such thing as "normal" or that everyone is "normal" have done unspeakable harm to individuals where to the best of our scientific and medical knowledge there IS a difference. It is quackery, bordering on murderous intent to think that, much less tell someone with depression that they should just think happy thoughts.
Also of note is that this article only applies to M1 macs, so unless you running a beta of Monterey, you’d have to be dual-booting Big Sur for some reason.
But consider also:

> It is a well-documented fact that by the age of 5 monolingual White children will have heard 30 million fewer words in languages other than English than bilingual children of color. In addition, they will have had a complete lack of exposure to the richness of non-standardized varieties of English that characterize the homes of many children of color. This language gap increases the longer these children are in school. The question is what causes this language gap and what can be done to address it?

> The major cause of this language gap is the failure of monolingual White communities to successfully assimilate into the multilingual and multidialectal mainstream. The continued existence of White ethnic enclaves persists despite concerted efforts to integrate White communities into the multiracial mainstream since the 1960s. In these linguistically isolated enclaves it is possible to go for days without interacting with anybody who does not speak Standardized American English providing little incentive for their inhabitants to adapt to the multilingual and multidialectal nature of US society.

> This linguistic isolation has a detrimental effect on the cognitive development of monolingual White children. This is because linguistically isolated households lack the rich translanguaging practices that are found in bilingual households and the elaborate style-shifting that occurs in bidialectal households. This leaves monolingual White children without a strong metalinguistic basis for language learning. As a result, many of these monolingual White children lack the school-readiness skills needed for foreign language learning and graduate from school having mastered nothing but Standardized American English leaving them ill-equipped to engage in intercultural communication.

>please provide the implementation of your Time.now function and I'll tell you its implicit parameters.

You are missing the point about extensional and intensional properties of functions.

If you want to look "inside" my Time.now function then maybe you should also look "inside" your equality function and find its implicit parameters?

Here's some Python boiler plate - implement equality and make the assertions pass.

def f():
return 1

def equal(x,y):
# Implement equality

assert not equal(1,2)
assert equal(1,1)
assert equal(f, f)

>If you're not talking about an actual function that can be run by a computer

As far as I can tell you are not talking about such a function either when you speak about equality, but I'll reserve judgment until you produce an implementation.

>I'm not interested in hypothetical functions tautologically defined not to be equal to themselves.

OK, but you are interested in hypothetical functions tautologically defined to be equal to themselves.

That's perfectly fine - we are interested in different tautologies.

You want to say equal(f,f) is true.

I want to say not equal(f,f) is true.

We want to say different things.
> Does gmail block emails from your friends containing misinformation?

No, but they actively block emails from many legit servers in order to enforce an email oligopoly. Note I'm not talking about servers who can't DKIM sign or are on well-known blocklists.
A good app offers options. While most HN folk don't like Telegram's default, it at least gives you somewhat of a choice (and the user can force the E2E option even if the other party doesn't like it)(though they do not give the option to make all chats by default E2e, which is indeed a dark pattern). The other apps just shove possibly backdoored E2E down people's throats with no choice at all.
We did 1.5 years ago, and to be honest, it's been a mixed bag. Large workspaces become pretty slow, but it's nice to have everything in a single place (docs, onboarding, issues etc). The only thing I really miss is the jira auto issue closing feature when merging a PR. Besides that it's been decent, though the slowdowns and slow search can be a pain.
FWIW, XML was long long ago abstracted as XML Infoset--which essentially represents the concept of an XML document as opposed to a specific text encoding with angle brackets and quotation marks--so it has always felt to me like "different encodings" are already "support[ed]...natively"?
> excessive power over public communication [...] should be dealt with by dealing with the monopolies, not curtailing the freedom of speech of private actors.

That sounds like a nice idea. However, I'm seeing it for the first time. While (1) and (2) aren't inconsistent, typically only (1) is brought up.

Take your average thread about how, say, Google is now beginning to censor X thing. It makes little sense to defend big tech censorship with point (1), leaving out (2), if you actually hold both opinions (1) and (2). The latter kind of implies that you agree big tech censorship is a problem. The former in isolation points toward the opposite. Therefore, I don't think most people who argue (1) actually believe in (2) as well.

I'm not talking about pollution, I'm talking about CO2 emissions.

The answer is that, long term, we have to balance out and only keep the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that the planet + carbon capture can absorb. It's going to be a very small number per capita.

As I said, it sucks. But it is the only way to prevent serious climate change long-term.
> The most abhorrent idea of all to me is that there are stupid, weak people that are worse than "us"

Not what I said. However the idea that everyone is equally able to parse out good information from bad is absurd, and I make no claims to be one of the group of enlightened ubermensch who should be able to decide for the rest. Neither do I argue that such people exist or are necessary.

> we can be adults and let everyone get the same information and make their own choice, or we can go the other way where someone who thinks they know more than us (and you hope it's you but it doesn't have to be) gets to decide.

Or we can ditch bland cliches and false dichotomies and look at pragmatic steps that can be taken to, for instance, improve access to good information, improve education around critical thinking, and perhaps (as mentioned in other comments) re-examine things like automated algorithms that feed people ever more extreme content because it increases engagement levels, clicks and ad revenue.

But no, of course, you're right, taking any action at all is akin to fascism. Totally.
I use a self-hosted web client (thelounge). It's still not good for casual IM usage IMO, but it's pretty painless.
"speak vernacular, or else"
I'm sorry, I have an Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra with 120mhz. Using my girlfriends iPhone 12 makes me dizzy.

120hz is something you don't notice much when you enable it, but you definitely notice when it's gone.
Good point. Even if I sincerely care only about my children, if most of their prospective needs require money to meet, the most effective response to a lack of money is to devote more time to getting money and less time to listening.
It's a very difficult story to report on because

1) the people who own your institution may be involved on some level,

2) all legitimate sources of novel material information will have been destroyed,

3) interviews are worthless because everybody who we know about who would have anything interesting to say are also both implicated and endangered, and there are so many kooks claiming to know things that it would be impossible to sort them out of the people who we don't know about.

It's bizarre that we even think that this story would have an outcome. A number of the completely arbitrary people we shower laurels on under crony capitalism like to have sex with runaway/endangered teenagers under completely safe and shielded circumstances. They disguised payment by parking money in a fake (investment fund/tax advisory structure/real estate partnership) with a guy who spent his entire life procuring for and protecting them. He probably kept blackmail material that got him out of the first prosecution, and lost control of that blackmail material before the next prosecution.

Clinton's sanctions on Iraq killed a half million children. That's more important than the fact that he may have abused teenagers on a sex plane/island, and he still speaks at the Democratic convention. We know that he manipulated a young intern into sex while on the job, and suspect he may be a serial sex abuser/rapist, and we try to make his wife president. We all know about "pussy-grabbing" Trump.

We need to get over the delusion that sunlight solves problems. Sunlight often makes problems seem commonplace and therefore unimportant. There would be nothing to expect out of a full exposure of Epstein and his network of associates other than a few old men going to jail, and being replaced by people just as bad. It's just something we desire out of prurient interest.

If we're really interested, we create social and political structures that either limit the ability of the wealthy to operate with impunity (a pointless effort IMO, because money is power), or limit the ability to become that wealthy. This is assuming we think that one of the purposes of government is to defend the weak from the strong. Maybe we don't care about that, and abused teens are just another cost to maintain a desirable status quo, like half a million Iraqi children.

As always, AnIdiotOnTheNet has valid comments, but you cannot dismiss a journey because its too far, you need to start with the first steps and eventually you'll get there.

1) re: graphical acceleration, it will come when the user base increases, the 3 big players will eventually want skin in the game

2) re: sandbox mechanism, yes it's missing, however since Haiku has a read only package system, the damage a rogue app can cause is much smaller eliminating the need for sandboxing in the first place. Also, the Haiku system is easy to restore, and from a user point of view, I care more about preserving my data, not protecting a system that I can easily restore. This is also a fault of most OS's out there, they protect you from installing a driver, and do nothing for protecting your family photos.

3) see 2

1) re: posix, Haiku has similiar issues as the BSD's in that POSIX != Linux

2) it's coming in R2

Lem is pretty accessible, a good place to start might be the Cyberiad collection of short stories. The futurological congress is also a fun read. You can't really go wrong with him, he had a great sense of humour.
I picture ED209 from Robocop 1. Just a matter of time I suppose.

It's our children I truly fear for- as in by the time they are in their 40's who knows how bad things will be.

Edit-added last stuffs.
The new ATT provided phones will almost assuredly have ATT spyware on them as well.
It is less common these days thanks to activation lock, Find My Phone, etc. but it still happens a fair bit for parts. The system board is useless thanks to activation lock but the battery, screen, cameras, housing, etc. are all useful to any repair business. I think the only part they can't replace is the FaceID module as Apple require specific software to configure it only available to certified repair techs so a small repair store won't have access to it but a genuine battery or screen or camera on the cheap from a stolen phone is good money to smaller repair shops.
The collapse of the classifieds--and I'm guessing job adverts around the same time--were the first dagger into US newspaper profitability.
According to what criteria, as i was asking in my parent comment? I don't think we can find a fair one.

Also Kindle Unlimited, what's that? Is that like spotify/netflix for ebooks? I'm personally hostile to private companies operating such schemes, but as a public service it sounds like it may make sense.

Of course, the tracking is unacceptable either way, and we should pursue better models in order to finance cultural productions. Hint: the answers are the same as for every other area of activities (including free software), just redistribute the **ing wealth already, which the people who "own" it didn't produce.
I think the OP refers to Facebook waiting really long to offer a mobile app. Many others jumped into the gap (I personally used an app called "Friendly for Facebook").

They were indeed really slow to recognise mobile as a worthwhile platform. So long that it would have jeopardised their position if it hadn't already been pretty much invincible.
There was a proper plan too of massively rebuilding those nations - no surprise they’re both now industrial powerhouses. Where’s Iraq now?
This seems dubious to me. Dershowitz appears to be deeply personally implicated in Epstein’s crimes.

Brown has been investigating Epstein since early 2017. I can’t see any evidence of Cernovich being involved that early. Do you have any?

In fact, Cernovich and Dershowitz working together and “suing to unseal documents” looks like it’s that started in 2019, and while Dershowitz clearly has personal reasons for his involvement it looks like Cernovich’s involvement is in fact directly in response to Brown’s reporting.
This will never be the same as Electron due to differences in the various rendering engines (e.g, Webkit2/WKWebView/WebView2 all have subtle differences), and this isn't accounting for version differences.

The reason people ship Electron is because Electron is literally the same thing wherever you shove it. You can search on this very forum for comments from the dev who migrated Slack from per-platform-WebViews to Electron.
Personally for small projects, I like to use Docker for development and Heroku (non docker version) for production. I strongly believe without a devops guy your much better off without docker and without running infrastructure.
> we can be adults and let everyone get the same information and make their own choice

One of the problems is that we don't all get the same information.

> or we can go the other way where someone who thinks they know more than us (and you hope it's you but it doesn't have to be) gets to decide. Frankly, the latter idea is ridiculous to me.

You've bumped into the exact same problem that exists with our democracy. Do you want our future determined by a few well-informed, rational people? Or do you want it determined by an ignorant, short-sighted mass?
Your comment says nothing about what GP actually stated.
> That can only happen if you gave government the ability to throw you in prison for that

Why? The universe won't stop anybody from doing that just because laws exist. Authoritarians will not be halted by existing laws or norms. That's what I'm worried about. And that's why things like preventing fascists from organizing in public has merit.
I know it's such a small thing, but I refuse to buy a S76 laptop until they get rid of those silly numpads. I don't know a lot of developers that use them, and they just make the keyboard feel cramped and both the keyboard and trackpad feel off-center. I would pick up an Oryx Pro sans numpad in a heartbeat.
Kind of a crappy answer, but just read the source. pyplot is defined in a single file, so it's pretty search to search (for example here: https://matplotlib.org/stable/_modules/matplotlib/pyplot.htm...). Or just clicky-click on 'source' link on the pyplot doc page for a call (for example: https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot....) will take you to: https://matplotlib.org/stable/_modules/matplotlib/pyplot.htm...

And for most (not all) of the functions, it's an easy read to figure out the OO call.
Subscribe to Amazon Prime for 30 days for free and start watching movies
I’m guessing it must be an issue with those new miniLED screens, or some other significant generational problem. I have two older 12.9” iPad Pros, one 1st generation and one 2nd generation (the first with the 120hz display). They are both excellent displays with no such issues with motion or ghosting.
Tarkowski with 30 minutes nap still beats most other movies by a large margin. I used to hate myself for the nap, but I wonder if I should stop doing that: the sequences work just so well in the nearly dreaming state.
A library with subscriptions has quite a lot of infrastructure to maintain. A digital archive of published newspapers can be maintained by a single worker using off-the-shelf hardware for an annual budget lesser than the salary of a single newspaper exec, or even better a community project like archive.org or Wikimedia Commons who's dedicated to that kind of stuff.
The thing I struggled with on first watch was knowing how important events are. If this person dies or this person is caught, how good / bad is that?

In the first film every character motivation is crystal clear, every character change is obvious and massive and compelling.

I still get a tingle at the exact point where Neo wraps the rope around his arm and decides he’s going to catch a helicopter to save Trinity.
> But it is living proof Telegram authors don't have the know-how on how to implement secure protocols

I strongly disagree with this claim. Can you back your claim with some evidence? The vulnerabilities shown here are mostly purely theoretical, I don't see how this goes to show that Telegram engineers are incompetent.

What I see is that Telegram engineers chose to ignore what the Computer Security academic community regards as best practices, and this has led to an infinite amount of criticism (including by the authors of the vulnerabilities we are discussing). Despite this, in ~8 years since launch, the only serious vulnerability which I am aware of, has been discovered and immediately patched right after Telegram was first launched.
