Thank you for pointing that out, it is an unfortunate shorthand and I should stay away from it. I tend to use it as a hand-wavy way to say "fair-skinned Americans who probably celebrated Christmas or Hanukkah growing up" but I'll stop.
How long is it going to take until we can have a near-zero-latency Internet connection on Mars (e.g. on a Mars rover) or Moon?
Yes, if you don't trust Google don't use a key from Google. Is that what you're trying to say? If your threat model is Google don't buy your key from Google. Do I think that's probably a stupid waste of thought? Yes, I do. But it's totally legitimate if that's your threat model.

I LOVE Forem and Dev.To

The stack is very rational.. and "easy-ish"
but its not wordpress easy..

most groups..and social networks.. dont burst outside 500 monthly active users.. at best.. 5000~

most groups are small and doesnt need a sophisticated scaling system.

I often test out communities with a very simple wordpress install running buddypress... it suits most communities and its so easily movable to cloud...

anyway.. i love Forem the dev.to guys have really created something phenomenal
This is a bit like asking your fellow patrons at the bar how to cure alcoholism, isn’t it mate? ;)
Yes it is illegal to test people's drugs to make sure they've not been substituted or adulterated.
The classic Adobe applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) are likely third party encumbered in such a way that a Linux build is all but impossible. I can only imagine the amount of binary crap 20 years out of support that has gone into it over the years.

I'm of a different persuasion: better to not have Adobe software on Linux. It'll give a bit more space for alternatives (as it's already doing), and Cthulhu knows we need that. It's not perfect, but it's a start.

Adobe needs to go away.
I tried this recently (~2 years ago). SQLite is faster, but returning unused space to the OS is a pain. If you don't need that to be prompt it's a good solution.
I'm not sure what's going on, but on the flip side I've noticed a general lack of care from service workers at restaurants lately. Anecdotal evidence, obviously, but my meals have often had wrong ingredients, incorrect items, missing items, low quality items... the list goes on. This really doesn't inspire confidence or give credence to the argument that they deserve more money if they can't get basic details correct.
Is there anything we can do to stop these cartels?

The poor have nothing to worry about, Medicare is fantastic and keeps a large percentage of the population complacent in the feeding of the physician, hospital, and pharmacy cartels.
Moreover the Hashable interface really needs to take a `HashState` object that can be given blocks of memory regions. Then you could plug in arbitrary algorithms rather than having each object hard-coded to use some half-baked implementation that's usually wrong & definitely wrong for anything that needs cryptography/DOS protection in the hash table. The reason is that Hash(m1 + m2 + m3) is what you want as it's computationally optimal & lets you plug in crypto hashing algorithms, but the old technique that Java bakes into the language forces you to write Hash(Hash(m1) + Hash(m2) + Hash(m3)).

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2014/n398... which I'm sad hasn't been adopted by C++ yet. It looks like Rust has taken note of this paper.
I suppose I should have gone with "Unicode without emoji" instead of ASCII. I don't mind unicode, but I question the emoji parsing engines as they're doing all sorts of crazy stuff with modifiers, and even unicode rendering is oddly complex and likely has bugs in some corner case or another.

From a "I would like it as simple and secure as possible," ASCII does tick quite a few boxes.
>> The new rules would also prohibit providing anonymous crypto-asset wallets.

> As a business/service, or in general? If the latter, then it's literally a ban on cryptography.

There are more applications of cryptography than cryptocurrency, which is why the term "crypto" for cryptocurrency was so unfortunate. It pretty much erased the prior established usages, leading to lots of confusing situations.

This could ban cryptocurrency (the tells are focusing on terms like "assets", "wallets", and using Bitcoin as an example), but it doesn't sound like it bans cryptography (if it did, tells would be "keys", "messages", etc.).
Thanks for replying. I understand exactly the kind of threat (“gosh it would be a shame if your house burned down”) and agree that if that’s what muse are doing it’s reprehensible.

I interpret it slightly differently, I asked the question because I was genuinely interested in others reading of it, rather than trying to push a perspective

Sure, as the immigrants from Eastern EU countries can legally work in the West without all the paperwork required for folks from outside the EU. But I still remember when it wasn’t the case, and Poland was widely known for stealing cars and prostitution.

That was also 14 years ago when recreational cannabis was illegal in every state. Since then, 18 states have legalized cannabis. It's only a matter of time before it's legal at the federal level.

Is it possible with GPL?
Just to add another viewpoint on annotations: I tend to severely edit a PDF while I'm reading it. For example: crop the top and bottom margins off, expand the left and right margins and use them for text boxes with notes to myself, draw on figures, rearrange figures and text (like a collage) so they're in more convenient places, and add color-coded highlights depending on whether the highlighted text is fact, opinion, an open question, etc. I edit the PDF directly so my notes are available even if I have to use another PDF viewer/editor. If I need to preserve the original PDF I archive it separately. I think one of the key advantages of digital medial is that the user can rearrange and edit it to suit their needs (the other advantage being search / automated indexing). Not sure how many people take this approach, and you're of course free to make the feature work however you think best. Just sharing as a counterpoint to the general consensus for a standalone annotation file.
Does it also happen in practice where the crafted inputs are given at minimum 4 minutes apart, on the precondition that those minutes are filled with finely-controlled-by-the-attacker spinning?
Then we’re right back in the checklist mentality of “500 things secure apps never do”. I could talk to somebody else and they’d tell me the real threat to worry about is phishing or poor CI/CD or insecure passwords or whatever.
Adding new instructions to userspace programs is almost certainly not going to fly. All of their extensions have been hidden behind an opaque API, or limited to use in the kernel.
I think in the coming year, we're going to find out that the "return to normal" isn't going to be very normal.

I spot a longer term "convenience" trend in consumers that has been further propelled by the pandemic, creating permanent shifts in demand.

There's many examples of it regardless of the pandemic...

Visiting a theater to see a movie is on the decline, as people use Netflix on increasingly large and capable screens.

ecommerce has marginalized physical stores.

And so on. We were already on this trend, and the end game for pretty much anything is smartphone-level convenience. If I want something, it should in most cases not require more effort than the push of a button. Even to change the light in the house, of which the switch is 3 feet away from me.

The pandemic has "delivered" new services, or existing ones that we now got used to.

There's going to be far less business travel, as now every rank in every company has been forced to make remote work operate somewhat efficiently. This will permanently change office real estate and business locations.

Not to mention the car industry, as a lot of usage is based on commutes.

Gyms may also see structurally less demand, as people found alternatives, and got used to them.

In my country (Netherlands), ecommerce was already normalized yet now even the less tech savvy got accustomed to it, further accelerating the decline of physical stores.

Luckily, people still did grocery shopping at the store itself. Not anymore. Now many people have tried home delivery of groceries and are unlikely to give back the time won.

Finally, restaurants. Before the pandemic, all you could get delivered here was junk food. Now you can get a high quality meal. Further, home cooking is back, the convenience type where they ship fresh high quality stuff with clear instructions.

Surely, visiting a restaurant is still a rich and social experience, but I would not be surprised if demand is significantly reduced if the home option is pretty good.

As for the convenience trend, a cynical view is that people are lazy. A more optimistic view is that people optimize their time, which is scarce. Speed and convenience wins, and will take over everything.
Wayback is probably not a good example here, though, because it backs up neither (to use your examples) Gopher nor FTP. There are some images of such sites on the Internet Archive, but these are site dumps people have taken steps to manually upload. I submit that won't be the majority.

The suggestion was a custom instruction or architectural extension to have this happen in hardware, rather than needing to write out extra code for this.
I mean the record speeds for maglev and steel wheel trains aren't far apart — 603 km/h v. 574 km/h. My understanding is the limits on steel wheel trains in practice are managing airflow on ballasted track (as the airflow can pick up lose ballast and propel it into the train or anything else nearby) along with pantograph-catenary contact as you mention.

My understanding about maglev operational costs is that the energy consumption of each service is higher (due to the need to maintain the electromagnets, which end up consuming more energy than is used to overcome the rolling resistance of steel-on-steel), though the overall operating costs are hard to judge (especially when the only operational line is both short and there is little in the way of public data about its costs).
Statutory damages are virtually non-existent in Europe.
Yes, it's surprising to people outside the retreat meditation community. If I read this blog entry prior to folding meditation practice into my daily life, I'd be equally surprised. There is a lot of commercialization and Westernized metaphysical woo-woo stuff to sift through to discover the type of meditation discussed in Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, or Dhammapada, so the initial and superficial impression of meditation generally perceived from a Yoga class at the local strip mall or YouTube guided meditations are of different varietals. The perception being that meditation is terrific for destressing and wouldn't lead to a psychotic break.

When you start to peel back the conditioning layers that define you, the sensations that reveal themselves can become destabilizing if you choose to focus on those distractions instead of allowing them to pass and refocus on the meditation object. If you're not prepared for what lies ahead and/or do not have a devoted mentor, the strands that define you and serve as identity reference points can snap leaving you with an existential crisis.

Also, while many meditation retreats and programs are designed to separate yuppies from their money, the retreats I'm familiar with operate on a donation basis to remain open for everyone independent of financial status.
> How about we just agree that very few people want to date someone who hates their gender?

I can get behind that.

Ultimately I submitted this story because I believe that (a) gender ratios, partitioned by city, educational background, political circles, etc., do affect dating dynamics, and people should take them into account and (b) the media is willing to publish the stories of women in progressive circles griping about their dating lives in a way they generally don't for men when the root causes of both their complaints are more similar than are commonly represented.
> That's a false dichotomy, because those people can go and do something else.

That is not automatically guaranteed.

Part of the problem with the Western economies is that the mills/mines/etc. used to employ a LOT of people.

A good example is the Natrona Heights steel plant. It used to employ something like 10,000 people at its height. After automation, it will now employ a couple hundred.

Where do 9,500 people switch employment to?

I wouldn't trust any hash table where a hash function yielding consecutive integers would inherently lead to bad behavior. Can you tell me a popular hash-to-bucket reduction that performs badly for this case?

I will concede that there are plenty of schemes where insufficient entropy in lower bits causes problems. Combining those with the global counter hash and e.g. only inserting every 64th allocated object could be a failure case indeed. But this is still simple to defend against in the reduction scheme.
We had the netflix prototypes even in the dialup area, with things like RealVideo. Nobody had failed to anticipate it before broadband access increased.

There really isn't ANYTHING I do with my current connection that wasn't predicted or prototyped in the 90s or earlier. So I'm skeptical of the claim that new uses will appear once we're all at 10GBit.
He asked for an example, alleging none exist, and I gave him one. If you want to add a time goalpost, that wasn't the original claim.

Dumb article. Basically amounts to "Apple should continue to do what they're doing".
Wow. Like a few others have commented, I'm surprised to see the amount of positive associations people have had with meditation. I'll admit, I definitely never thought the benefits of meditation were anything more than the placebo effect, though I've also never had reason to give meditation any real thought as a solution to my problems, because I've fortunately always been able to cope and function through them to find solutions. This article definitely opened my eyes a bit, however.

That being said, I've been actively weight lifting or doing other sports since I was a teenager, and I often wonder if that has helped contribute to my successes. For example, proper weight training takes years of practice to develop a solid mind-muscle connection, and I find both the moments between sets and the repetitions themselves help train mental focus. This is especially true with heavy weight lifting because you need to visualize the movement before you do it, and as you're going through the movement you need to focus carefully on your muscle tension throughout your body.

For those who have never seriously trained, it is probably easy to dismiss that weight training can have a positive impact on one's ability to focus. I assure you, a few sets of heavy squats takes a toll on the nervous system as well as the musculoskeletal system. Likewise, I find that when I am in a proper training regimen, it is easier to eat better and easier to sleep deeper.

I've never done any guided meditation, so if there are any active athletes who have practiced meditation as described in the article, I'd be interested to here your thoughts.
The short answer would be to make legal representation less valuable. Ensure that all cases (civil, criminal or otherwise) are tried and concluded quickly including appeals and streamline the law so that there is a lot less maneuverability. Lawyers wouldn't vanish (having someone knowledgeable and with proper negotiating distance will always be valuable), but they would lose a lot of leverage.

Of course, if there's one thing that lawyers are less likely to do than cap the earnings of their profession, it's to devalue it entirely.

You could also increase supply by reducing the level of qualification needed to become a lawyer. Increased competition would drive prices down. That too is highly unlikely.

Open-source dev says Audacity owner Muse threatened his deportation to China
I have seen this type of thing happen several times - and it often crosses international jurisdictions which makes it hard and slow.

I also believe there will/are people who will take over this kind of thing for a fee - like rather than running the low orbit pinger to cause damage which could be traced to you, you can pay someone in a another country 20 bucks to do it for you - claim the old, 'my phone was hacked' sucks for you game - hard to prove.

would be nice for facebook to detect when revenge pics are being shared to someone's fam/friends/work colleagues and stop the messages from going through / being seen.

But that's not going to stop emails being sent to employers / other places and such.

Having strong laws that are known may be a deterrent for some and that's great - but I don't think it's solvable - this kind of thing has been posted on hackforums/ewhoring scams / blackmail how-tos for a long time. And there will always be some crime group that'll send some emails for the cost of a subway card - and they'll update instructions for how to zip up files and bypass dns blocks and such to get the data they need to complete the task.

digital literacy about sharing pics with people who say they like you that later turn out not be the person you thought they were - things like that could help.

Teaching new 'performers' and others who want to share nudes for money that there will always be possibility that suck files are easily shared and can escape to others would be good too.

if you don't want others to see it or it to be shown in a court in public don't send it - internet, sms, etc.

I'm not understanding your argument. You are against anonymous money? You realize what the alternative is? Credit cards. Ie you can only transact with visas permission, also they skim some cents off each transaction inflating all prices for all consumers. Have you heard about interest rates before? Because credit cards have the worst interest rate of any financial product. This is what centralized money gets us. The same problems exist in debit cards and fed digital coins as well fyi. Also skimming off the top and controlling how much your savings are worth via monetary policy. But at least little Billy cantbbuy drugs right? Also he has no spare change for the homeless either.
Would you claim that when Einstein developed his theories of relativity, they were invalid (from the point of view of physics) because their consequences were not yet observable? For example, Einstein used thought experiments to develop special relativity in 1905, but since kinematic time dilation was only experimentally confirmed in 1971, his work was not a contribution to physics until then?

> And then your current landlord gets some shitheel realtor to rent the place who repeatedly tries to schedule showings on an hour's notice.

Yup. "We know you work from home so we've told the realtor to be considerate of your time". Bear in mind I have a dog and a cat.

4 days and FOURTEEN showings later (often spaced with little gaps, so it's in and out not blocks of time), I'm complaining to the landlord, who agrees that that is ridiculous. Realtor: "Oh well, it's a hot market and they'll be out of the house soon enough."
At the speed of light, it would take between 4 minutes and 14 minutes to travel between Mars and Earth. A quick google says fiber optic cable can transfer data at roughly 70% of that speed. It may not be possible to get the latency you're describing. Mars is far away.

Due to the SV playbook of using 0$ pricing to corner the market. some markets are inherently monopolistic.
so yeah either favor the incumbent or favor the person, with the largest share due to network effects.
network effects aren't priced effectively in the market. or neither accounted for in monopoly law.
for examples look at the fight between uber / lyft / chinese ride hailing companies etc.
Hence we need standardized data transfer policies or protocols.
No serious and good programmer is hyping Rust as the "Holy Grail". You are seeing things due to an obvious negative bias. Link me 100x HN comments proving your point if you like but they still mean nothing. I've worked with Rust devs for a few years and all were extremely grounded and practical people who arrived at working with it after a thorough analysis of the merits of a number of technologies. No evangelizing to be found.

Most security bugs/holes have been related to buffer [over|under]flows. Statistically speaking, it makes sense to use a language that eliminates those bugs by the mere virtue of the program compiling. Do you disagree with that?
