How are they being mistaken? No where do they claim to be the official Alpine image. This is like saying anyone who uploads an Alpine image with a few self-built packages installed is somehow conflating themselves with representing Alpine Linux, when in fact there is nothing the creator of this image has done to indicate that they are in any way considered the official Alpine project. In fact, Docker Hub has a place for official images. If someone is mistaking this package as being supported by Alpine Linux as a whole, then they also the same people that would mistake Google for any app installed from the Google Play Store.
Astonishing that you didn't know, unless you live under a rock. I applaud you if you manage to escape the news cycle that long.
It is free, and it has always had good push-to-talk voice chat using a permanent "room" concept (and not a "call" concept as is common with business-focused tools) suitable for gamers, towards which it actively marketed itself. This stuff has been in use by gamers for decades, but previous solutions either depended on paid servers or required one person to set up their own server on their own (or rented) hardware. Discord simply offered the same good voice chat, but without the server setup hassle or the costs associated with it.

The rest is network effects. If your entire gaming guild or clan or group of friends or whatever is using Discord, you are also using Discord.

If you mean "why is anyone besides gamer groups using Discord?", that is because most gamers are not just gamers, but also people working in day jobs, or open-source contributors, or active in NGOs, or have non-gamer friends with whom they needed to chat lately due to COVID restrictions, or whatever else. They knew Discord from their gaming life, so they just tried applying the tool that they already knew well to the (slightly different) job. With varying success, but with some success nevertheless in some cases.
I've always been wondering why niche 2-people shows put elegant titles and detailed notes with chapter markets and the largest shows ever with huge production teams don't even bother.
Even Libertarians understand that the situation is nuanced. For example, blackouts during wartime are the proper jurisdiction of governments. You can argue that pandemic lockdowns fall into the same category. (I’m not saying whether or not that argument is correct, but it can be made in good faith.)
> that allow us to do arithmetic with arbitrary real numbers

Of course there are. You can symbolically encode and manipulate real numbers with exact precision. Sure it might become unwieldy and is fundamentaly constrained by the physical limits of your computer but the same is true with large integers computation.

People don't do it usually because it's useless not because it's impossible. Bounded precision is fine most of the time.
>What else are you going to do?

Like, live?

Or do you believe if you don't passionately "change the world" by working at some BS startup/FAANG you don't really live?
Microsoft Edge would like to have a word with you.

The only thing pointing people to DDG or some inferior search engine would be to frustrate non-technical people when their search results become "weird".

Not all search engines are the same. I use DDG by default but I admit there is a huge difference between the two search engines and I use !g more than I'd like to admit.

The problem is that people relied on a side effect of a function that isn't guaranteed to block execution all the time (browsers are allowed to ignore those prompts) and now they have to fix their code.
If the reason we are discussing it is the climate effects, we need to look at systemic total CO2-equivalent emissions which are around 50 gigatons per year.

But you make it sound like it's a widespread problem. For me their app is just great and much faster than Apple Music that may randomly fail at playing some track. And it works on airplanes just fine.
> Vaccines are as good as natural immunity.

The study directly calls this into question:

> This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity.

A lot of the newer data is suggesting that the B and T cell responses to natural infection are broader and more robust than those to the vaccines.

Example:

> Vaccination produces greater amounts of circulating antibodies than natural infection. But a new study suggests that not all memory B cells are created equal. While vaccination gives rise to memory B cells that evolve over a few weeks, natural infection births memory B cells that continue to evolve over several months, producing highly potent antibodies adept at eliminating even viral variants.

https://www.rockefeller.edu/news/30919-natural-infection-ver...

One interesting question is whether somebody who was vaccinated before natural infection is capable of developing B and T cells as robust and broad as those who were infected before they were vaccinated. If not, we could be in for an unfortunate situation in which lots of us are forced to constantly boost to keep antibodies circulating.
I’m under a rock more than most but I’ve heard the name!

Curious about surname I checked and yes she is Robert Maxwell’s daughter, who killed himself in the 80s or 90s was all over the news
>I think it would be very lightweight

Very interesting, that sounds great. I like the idea of keeping minimal business logic in the BI tool, but it is necessary.

And yes, lots of metric layer startups, taking advantage of that does make sense.

Will take a closer look, thanks!
>>It makes me despair of business models which require growth to be chased at all costs.

It's a general approach seen here on HN. Unless a company is growing every year by 10% or more, it's a failure. Like.....what's wrong with just making few million dollars a year for years, without taking a billion dollar investment and growing into the stratosphere?
why not use digital election to select mods ?
Fear not fuchsia is coming along nicely.
I don't know why you're going through all that effort instead of just creating a new account.
Of course, because for some reason this is suddenly unacceptable but it is ok to have an Indian variant or a Brazilian variant.
Thanks for the tip. I gave up on Reddit because its just full of astroturf these days. There's no disagreement allowed on most topics. There's a ridiculous amount of threads where 80 percent of the comments are deleted.
Also I see nothing about Discord trying to compete with Slack or Teams. I see it to expanding other communities like sub-reddits, forums and Facebook. Offering a different service from them. And for such purpose it's perfectly good product. Managing and allowing largish communities a chat platform.
I just use Firefox containers here. One tab in one container for personal, one tab in one container for more professional contexts. Having container tabs rather than private mode or separate browsers lets me have them in one window.

This [1] is a great read about the chain of trust, it boils down to whether you can trust your UEFI, if you can trust your UEFI, then you can trust your OS and its trusted public keys and the chain doesn't break.

From the essay

> Now, no one has actually observed UEFI being compromised, nor has anyone captured any UEFI-compromising Trickbot code. The thinking goes that Trickbot only downloads the UEFI code when it finds a vulnerable system.

> Running in UEFI would make Trickbot largely undetectable and undeletable. Even wiping and restoring the OS wouldn't do it. Remember, TPMs are designed to be unpatchable and tamper-resistant. The physical hardware is designed to break forever if you try to swap it out.

Bit strange to do it under your actual name though.
Why would you be banned by a moderator of /r/China_Flu for calling it China flu?
I think the Aether model is better. Users can revert mod actions and even dispose of the mods if they misbehave or go in a different direction than what the community wants.

> Google Chat ... virtually no difference in terms of capabilities

Gchat has probably 10% of the features of Teams/Slack, and even those don't work. As an example, try to copy the link to a gchat thread.
r/apple mods have been known to remove all duplicate stories and always manage to land on one specific pundit as the official thread for that story. It doesn't matter which user posted first.
Been using it for about a decade too. Syntax highlighting, quick capture and mobile reminders are still on my wishlist, but so far it's still better than all other competitors for me.
One aspect may be that people just aren't that satisfied with some of the design decisions of Python. In this case the (perceived) issue is probably unnecessary verbosity in declaring classes, which I agree with. Due to the lack of macros changes are made through decorators and other metaprogramming magic, which brings about some collateral issues.

I find it preferable that such changes are possible outside the central committee bureaucracy. You really don't want to end up like C++ w.r.t language evolution.
Here's an example: Discord app reads all the processes running on the machine. Discord webapp can't. Telemetry is probably the same.

Another example: Microsoft Word can include a bug that makes opening a doc file run whatever command, including wiping the system. Google Docs can't do it.

It's much simpler to see telemetry in a web app - just open the Network tab. The fact that it's harder to do with a desktop app does not at all means it isn't there. Give wireshark a spin.

I highly recommend unsubscribing from all the default subreddits and only subbing to the programming related subreddits. It'll make your Reddit newsfeed more programming-oriented than HN and completely changes your experience with the site.
> Because at the end all they care about is money so they need to control everything and build their copy of Twitter or Facebook ?

Correct, and that was the point of my post. Rogan had the platform to freely distribute his thoughts, but in exchange for money, he chose to give up control of their distribution.
Not using Discord but I always compile my pure-ftpd with the --without-humor and --with-boring flags. Funny is relative.
We had to stop using alpine because we have to resolve a DNS name that resolved in a 100 hosts. Musl fails to resolve that because it does not support “upgrade to TCP” and the response does not fit into single UDP packet so it gets truncated, so node fails to resolve the name. And not only node, normal Linux tools as well. And the author says it’s a feature, not a bug so for me it is kinda hard to take that thing seriously when parts of standard are unsupported.
Talking about cost: my son used a program called Reading Eggs for just around US 70$ per year (including math lessons!) and after 2-3 months he could read independently. I gave it to him in Kindergarten when we were in lockdown and he started relatively slowly (a new unit every two days for 15-20 minutes a day). In the beginning, I had to sit with him and help him navigate a little bit but after a few lessons, he could learn all alone. The lessons were designed so amusing and engaging, my son could stay on it all by himself. After a year, he was able to read on the level of grade 2 and his math level was also beyond his age.

We’re no native English speakers but my son went to an English speaking kindergarten. All seemed so natural and easy to me that I could not understand the fuss about teaching reading in America. I mean one could not get cheaper than that and giving tablets to millions children and problem solved!
Still doesn't solve the problem. In Discord you only have one account, loose access to that account for some reason, you loose access to both private and work related matters.

Instead, if Discord want to be taken seriously, need to allow multiple accounts on the same device, so people can switch between things.
This is seriously the saddest and dumbest post I've seen in a long time. Someone decides to build an Alpine package without ever claiming it is part of the official Alpine distro, you can't even install it using the default Alpine repos, and then they created a Docker image with it already installed... and somehow someone wants to complain and threaten to block the package from even being installed. This is like Microsoft levels of bad for FOSS, maybe even worse. No where are they claiming to represent the official Alpine image. I have plenty of Docker images that use Alpine as a base image. Am I somehow representing that they represent the official Alpine image? No. I wonder if this person is just bored, or mad in general and wanted to find something pointless to complain about.
It would be encoded in a lookup-table that is populated by an iterating algorithm.

The size of this lookup-table corresponds to the state space, hence it can't be too big.
Obviously your opinion is not wanted there. So why go the extra mile? Just move on.
It's sad to see reddit fall to such low a low level.

Aaron Schwartz is rolling in his grave.
> I myself am more interested in the work I am doing right now (i.e. building features that deliver more value to the business than the effort/time/money it takes to build them)

If your work involves higher table discussions / strategy, bring one / some of them into that sphere on the odd occaion. Rather than abstract the next level(s) up away from them, delegate some of that down which simultaneously exposes them to growth and progression.

> manage people's career planning (including yourself)

Ask for the same above you of the layer above.

Otherwise, talk to them like human beings not as subordinates, take a genuine interest, and you will probably know the answer to those questions that they themselves dont even know.
When I hear master swordsmith, I think of something like this: https://www.owenbush.co.uk/product-category/swords/

(bonus if you're in the UK they run a sword smithing week long course)

As Baxuz points out, the swords on sale are not overly great quality. unless you like the specific look of them, you are better off getting a version made for HEMA re-enactment.
I see it as complementary service. Reddit and forums aren't really suitable for chatting. Where as discord wills that niche very well. So communities will consist of forum/sub-reddit and a chat on Discord. One is more permanent and one is more ephemeral...
Discord was horrible bloated software to begin with, and bloat only got worse. Nothing of value will be lost, chatting is no rocket science.
I just go to the subreddits I like: the main feed has too much crypto stuff.
Yeah, you basically have multiple different browser identities that you use as a workaround since Discord doesn't support multiple identities "natively" in their own platform.

So, we're right back to where this conversation started, that Discord doesn't support multiple identities.
Ehrm we already know niche communities attract lunatics - or, better said, make lunatics more visible; the noise to signal ratio of the content is way worse because idiots are louder. But if you filter through the noise you can get some interesting insights.
No-code or low-code conundrum: make it closed, so the citizen developer will get stuck because they don't understand security concepts, or make it open so the human complacency will leave it like that?
/r/thenetherlands is a joke. So many comments are being removed in order to "maintain community standards".

I once posted a genuine question there: "Do you think /r/thenetherlands is an echo chamber?"

"[Your post was removed for being off topic]"

Oh well. Now I just don't use reddit anymore. My life is better because of it.
There's a semantic difference with "X virus" and "Y variant". "X virus" denotes the virus was caused by country X and is behind it all, whereas "Y variant" denotes it was mutated in there but is not the root cause of it all.
Those changes sound great! I'll definitely keep following you.
I use docker compose.

Your product is solving a very real problem that I think is under served. I developed a lot of back office tools in my old job. It was very easy to find good ideas for tools that would improve the workflow and efficiency of our sales, marketing and accounting departments.

I found that rapid prototyping and quick iterations worked great for finding good solutions for non-technical stakeholders. It made it possible to give them something concrete to "touch and feel" after every meeting. It spurred a lot of engagement.

Low-code tools like yours will really aid this kind of process, and I look forward to seeing where you'll go.
The port used by the docker container could not be setup during installation. Letting the setup fail and then edit the intermediates (docker-compose.yaml) worked fine but it was not elegant compared to Budibase's installation procedure. It's an issue resolved in 5 minutes though so far from a deal breaker, and with the changed install script it should be gone.

You've made a pretty great product and I look forward to following your journey. We're already using it in production.
Hi ***,

This is a just a super quick notice that we will be closing your open support ticket and I will be eating it shortly.

Hopefully we solved your issue with such grace and finesse that you didn't need to respond. If that's the case, great! Meal for me.

Otherwise, please respond and we will sick our support team on the problem like a dog on some marbled wagyu. And then I'll find something else to eat, I guess.

Thanks,
Eater of Support Tickets

Gosh, I really feel like I've spoken to professional support. Considering they didn't fix my issue, this sort of response is pretty annoying.
From the subreddit sidebar:

> The name r/China_Flu was created at a time when SARS-CoV-2 had not been named and was only affecting China. Subreddit names cannot be changed after they are created. This subreddit is a place to discuss the 2019 Wuhan-originated novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and the disease it causes, called COVID-19.
Well the entire Epstein thing was laughably poorly run.
Moderators do very rarely speak for the community they moderate.
Even if quantum crypto reaches distances of 100‘000km it would still not mean we can use it at home I suppose, because just having one switch/router between Alice and Bob would break the scheme, no?
I disagree; it was remarkably prophetic regarding the character of the German leadership and public sentiment in Germany in the early 20th century, being written in 1879. The German protagonist founds a militaristic dictatorship, develops poison gas and super cannons, speaks of the superiority of the Saxon over the [racially] inferior, democratic French. It perfectly captures what became of Germany in the first half of the 20th century, down to the obsession with steel and super weapons (thinking of Hart wie Kruppstahl).

The French character isn't as developed as the German from what I remember.
It does not. They use Alpine in the name so people can find the image. Searching for Alpine on Docker Hub has 49,530 results. This image doesn't even show up on the first page of results. I think whoever wrote this needs to rethink how ridiculous they are being.
A lot of times when apps try to be cute I wish they would just STFU and do the thing I want them to
I'd rather expect they'll soon start putting cell chips inside of them for telemetry and ads, kind of like cars do nowadays.
Is there a mail service that you trust?
That filter idea sounds very good. Gonna try. Thank you.

edit: come to think of it. Can RES hide points?
I think you underestimate the number of users who would either blanket-approve everything or switch to a browser that doesn't nag so much. Most people care very little about their privacy online.
Sometimes the best place to hide something is in plain sight.
So, of the 49,530 images that show up with several using Alpine somewhere in the name or description... you think this is a trademark violation how? Alpine is synonymous with lightweight images. Several people and vendors use it in their image names.
Well, Google is the best search engine, and Apple wants the best user experience. This has the feel of getting paid $15b to do something you were going to do anyways.
A pragmatic way to catch deprecated features during development are Typescript intellisense and Webhint.
say what you want about rogan, but he is a good listener. Period. He knows when to shut the fuck up and let the guest speak.

He also can talk to people he disagrees with without going into petty word fights. Despite his image he has a lot of humility, he knows and openly admits not to be the smartest man in the room. And to me comes across as a person eager to learn and hear new ideas.

I have learnt quite a lot about being good conversationalist by studying what and how he deals with guests.

He has casual (friends) episodes that are pretty repetitive but he also invites experts from all over. Those episodes are very entertaining.

(I dont use spotify so havent been following his podcast since the move)
I absolutely hate the attrs “joke” names attr.ib and attr.s.

That’s it. I simply can’t stand them, they drive me crazy. When I first saw them I wondered what the fuck “ib” meant. And the thing is, I’d expect every decent python programmer to have the same reaction: . is syntax; it simply can’t be part of a name. The library is called “attrs”, so why is it imported as “attr”? I simply don’t know what the author thought he was doing.

I just don’t see how it is appropriate for a serious library to contain a joke that’s going to trip up literally every programmer with any taste. Maybe this is my problem, maybe one day I’ll relax and wonder why I was making such a big deal about it. But for the last several years it has made me think that the author completely lacks the judgement required to be a library author.

To add to my criticisms, imagine what the python ecosystem would look like if everyone thought they could have names that spanned attribute lookup syntax!
> Not sure how well that would localize in other languages though. Thanks for the examples!

Not well at all. Making it even more cringe worthy
What you are calling direct clarification can instead be deliberate misinformation. Should we consider North Korea to be a democracy because their official name includes "democratic"?
Awesome explanation from first principles.

One thing that catches me all the time is that when writing examples in a functional language, the continuation of call/cc is on the left of the call to call/cc.

Rewriting your example as imperative statements might be more understandable to non-functional[1] programmers like me:

x = call/cc ...
print x ;; <- this is the continuation

Of course this does not work well with your nice reduction based explanation, but can be made to work if you go for a CPS transformation based explanation.

And like XMPP before it.
