This is not at all what this article describes. You're making the same mistake as truth_machine does: The loop unrolling is not part of the proof but just an implementation detail for the transition lookup; it could as well have been a large if-else. The actual looping / transitioning is implemented via bitcoin transactions which is a new technique that was only recently developed.
> I also respectfully disagree. I'm a sincere egoist, so I say that: no, public safety is not a "higher priority" than _my_ rights, nor is it of a higher priority than any individuals' rights.

Isn't the problem with this position that you cannot reach "universal rights" if you approach from individual self-interest. What if my particular circumstances mean that I don't want everyone to have Right X? I see egoism and universal rights as incompatible. Perhaps I look at it the wrong way.

> I think the solution to bullying, and generally the unwelcome encroachment of others into our spaces, is some ability to rebuke the interlocutors' access to our space entirely, permanently, and even prematurely.

This doesn't handle the very real threat of Grooming, or unrecognised bullying. Children will tolerate quite a lot before they even realise it's not healthy.

I am a strong proponent of privacy, but I don't see an easy solution to children online. It shouldn't be black box, as they can easily end up on the wrong side of the internet. But it equally should not be a white box.
There's a pretty big caveat in the anonymity section on the website about seeding by default not being anonymous (although there is an option for hidden seeding as well which apparently slows speeds quite a bit) but that aside, does this mean that downloading is by default anonymous to ISPs? That's pretty big, weird that I've never seen this before.

Fun video, but one note: You should always use sandpaper as if someone else is paying for it. It gums up faster than you think, and if your "250 grit" sandpaper is full of tiny particles that wore off and is now acting more like 1000 grit, it just means more wasted hours for you. It's fairly cheap stuff, so don't forget to change it often - certainly more often than seen in this video.

This is particularly important at the initial state where you're eroding down to a level - when you're just going through grits smoothing it matters somewhat less.

> Svn and cvs are centralized, which makes everything much more intuitive and easier to understand IMO.

For both cvs and svn, creating branches, merging changes from different branches, and switching branches definitely were operations that required a few steps that would not be easy to figure out without reading through the documentation.

The only thing that git had that those programs didn't was the concept of a staging area, which, as I understand it, bazaar and mercurial didn't have (unless you created another copy of the repo or another branch to serve as a staging area). But the fact that people have tried to replicate that feature in the other DVCSs indicates that it's a desired feature, even if it does add some complexity compared to not having it.

> " A gun for fun? No, not fine (let the properly-licensed gun range own and store guns, and you can go and shoot them for fun)."

Looking at some other comments, and it crossed my mind that this perspective is very urban-centric. If you live in the country, it's pretty safe and cheap to shoot some cans with a .22, but pretty expensive in time (and maybe money) to travel to a range. And it's that way in a way that makes socioeconomic class way more centric to shooting - more like a racket club.

At the same time, arguably concentrating all the shooters in one place might make things less safe: if you do something stupid on your own property with no-one around, there's nobody to get hurt. But if the person next to you at the range is a moron and does something idiotic like shoot at 90 degrees to the firing line trying to check if a round is chambered with their finger on the trigger, doing it at a range is way less safe than doing it in the middle of nowhere.

Now you might argue that people who've been trained won't do stupid things like that, but despite drivers being licensed I still see a lot of stupid on the road and don't really believe that it'd be any different with guns.
In Freenet, content that does not get accessed disappears. To access content, you must first learn that it exists. You must see it.

And Freenet has a method for communities to express that people (actually pseudonyms) who disrupt the system should not be seen.

It is a decentralized blocking system where the choice of moderator is on the individual. It easily runs circles around current clearnet moderation systems, because it had to cope with actual pseudonymity from the start, and it was created to address an actual need to stop disruption without centralization.

If you don’t like gore porn, you ask the other pseudonym not to post it. And if he/she/it continues, you record blocking, and those who trust your judgement will no longer see that pseudonym. That’s how in Freenet you decide what content to see. And it works: Within Freenet we had quite a few constructive discussions between political groups that would normally be at their throats.

So Freenet itself acts like an abstracted ISP that only provides access while the moderation system does the value-call and moderation — also fully decentralized, but as separated from the core system as a hacker news moderator or web-hoster is from the internet service provider.

And if I say „the Freenet moderation system runs circles around clearnet moderation“, I mean it: The fediverse people are now experimenting with implementing the Freenet moderation system for Mastodon and others: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/scalable-moderation-us...

I think you’re missing the complexity of macros: they’re not just Rust or not-Rust, they can mix and match, including using Rust-like syntax. Take this macro stub for example (implemented as a procedural macro, if you want to make it harder):

macro_rules! alpha {
(
$(<$($beta:ident),* $(,)?>)?
for $gamma:ty;
$(#[$delta:meta])*
struct $epsilon:ident default $zeta:expr;
## $eta:tt // And I’m not telling you how I’m using this one
$theta:item
) => { … };
}

I can’t see any way to make this work with Analog syntax in such places as $gamma, $zeta and $theta (and who knows about some of the others like $eta?). I’ve made this a fairly extreme example, but simpler examples that are still problematic are widespread.
They would continue to setup dates and if you stopped showing up they could treat that date as the new relationship date.
The loop unrolling is an implementation detail. As I have written somewhere else: You could as well have put a large if-else there to do the transition table lookup.

In the GoL example, one generation update is performed in every transaction. Since the board size is known in advance, it totally makes sense to unroll the loop. If you want to do boards larger than that, like the 1000x1000 you mention, you run into script limits. What you can then do instead is, for example, to update the first half of the board in one transaction and then the second half in another transaction, i.e. two transactions are one generation.

No matter what personality type you are, please don't talk to people like this on HN. Thanks.

Conda manages this pretty well and the community ran “conda-forge” channel works. It’s language, platform and architecture agnostic. It only supports distributing binaries which can be a benefit or downside when compared to Nix’s “build the world with caching” approach depending on your needs. Personally I find conda’s approach to be more pragmatic for working with unprivileged systems and how packages expect to be used. Though I do hop the Nix-store like model continues to grow in popularity as it’s much better than the classic posix install layout.

In conda, packages are installed into “environments” which are just folders like Python’s venv except language agnostic so you can install specific OpenSSL/Clang/GCC/libWhatever versions and have one environment per project you work on. It’s also the only package manager I’m aware of that can provide a good experience across Windows/Linux/macOS for x86_64/arm64/ppc64le.

One issue with conda is that the ecosystem of tooling is a little fragmented. The classic “conda” package has performance issues but there is a second implementation “mamba” which fixes this at the cost of minor changes in behaviour and attempts to merge mamba into conda seem to have stalled.

If you want to try it out Id recommend using the “Mambaforge” distribution and using “mamba” for everything except “conda activate” (which is actually a shell function).

I'm perfectly familiar with typical ICE and the design of jet engines. Exhaust is no less important in ICE. If you block it, the engine doesn't run.

Jet engines use exhaust as propulsion, so it just moves the mechanism from inside to out, in a way.

A muffler is a device that baffles air to quiet it. That's -exactly- what this device does. You can argue, rightly, that more is at stake and more considerations must be made here. But it's still, by definition, a muffler.
The point behind the XKCD is that competing standards cause interoperability problems. I would argue, as does the original post, that Nix solves interoperability problems rather than creating them—it is a tool that helps you get stuff done, not a standard that purports to tell other people how they need to do things so you can get stuff done. But I’m not sure whom I’d be arguing this with, since a link to an XKCD does not constitute an argument to begin with.
Out of curiosity what is the objection (and is it any worse than keeping a database on the server?)
It depends. Need to know the algorithm.

If it's just that 90% of people choose one, then it can choose that one and be right 90% of the time without even taking your brain scan into account. Or maybe 90% of males go one way and 90% of females go the other way, well that's an easy thing. Or maybe nobody ever chooses one when it's raining, and there's a 10% chance of rain tomorrow. Or, maybe it does a perfect simulation and knows exactly what you'll choose, but flips it 10% of the time just for fun.

Any of those would have different ways of optimizing, so it doesn't make sense to speculate without knowing exactly how it works.

No. Ivermectin use is humans is very well understood and has been for quite some time. What isn't well understood is what is the level of effectiveness of Ivermectin in preventing the spread of covid and treating the symptoms of the disease. It's an absolutely ridiculous statement to say Ivermectin in humans is not well studied. Whoever told you that had an agenda and you should be very skeptical of anything else they tell you. There is no equivalence in uncertainty between Ivermectin and the mRNA covid treatments.

"Yet not only in Croatia, but in France, the USA, Britain, real, open fascism – fences, walls, racial laws, deportations, camps – is once again mainstream. "

Oh really? Fences are fascist now? And deportations?

And remind me, was the Berlin Wall fascist? The labor camps in Siberia? Or were those created by totalitarian communist regimes?

Am I the only one too dense to really understand what broader point is being made in this article? It contains so many sections like this:

Personally, I do tons of things for free because I enjoy doing them. Nobody needs to pay me to play my piano, paint a painting, or run a D&D campaign, and all of that takes effort and skill. I remember the old days of YouTube when most people making videos were doing it for the joy of it, not profit. I understand that doesn't scale forever, but at the same time, there's a vast range of video creation that doesn't need to be profit-driven, or can easily be crowd funded.

I understand the point of big budget video creation, but that's not most creators, just like most companies aren't Google and shouldn't be trying to solve their problems that are a 1000th the size with Google-scale solutions.

Simply, there is a place for small budget videos. I'd even argue that the majority should be small budget, and that advertising and budget inflation have on average been more bad for YouTube than good.

IMO, dependency injection tries to solve similar problems which are traditionally tackled by purely function programming languages, such as side effect management, reliable unit tests, segregation of application logic and implementation details, and so on.

This is too rough but, in other words, dependency injection is simply a less strict or untyped version of effect system or purely functional programming.
The issue with "high precision weapons" is that it merely eliminates the chances of aiming at a target and not destroying it.

However, then the question is: "is it even the 'correct' target?"

The recent "ISIS-K" that turned out to be an innocent aid worker and his family is exactly how this can work wrongly: the weak link isn't the weapon; it's the targeting process that can be imprecise and inaccurate. A human process primarily. Are the rules of engagement correct? If not innocents get killed. What is the intelligence source? How is it analyzed? What cross referencing is used? How accurate are sensors and the matching to the target? Etc. Etc.
nix is really nice (finding it much better than homebrew cross macOS and Linux) and do good jobs at the best cost for some of my uses cases (kind of binenv / arkade, etc. that manages some binaries that the target hosts use). However, nix has its own problems that I may not qualified to comment (not savvy enough user)
- a bit of learning curve (NixOS vs nix package manager)
- memory hogging while running system-wide update
- disk space consumption is a mystery (GC & optimisation doesn't do good jobs freeing up space)

Don't get me wrong, I do like nix ;-)
You can also use Nix to build docker/container images, without a Dockerfile.

> In a world of autoupdating (that is, the world of most modern browser users today), an overtly malicious browser vendor could push malicious code, potentially even stealthily to a subset of targeted users. We can dream about a world in which such a malicious update might be detectable, but that’s not the world we live in today, by a long shot.

I appreciate the nod to Binary Transparency, but wish it were seen as more than a dream. There's no reason why browsers couldn't reuse their existing Certificate Transparency code to check that the hash of each version update they download has been included as the subdomain of an entry in multiple public logs. It seems like the resistance to doing that is due to policy/demand rather than technical concerns, so we shouldn't be going easy on browser makers by talking of "dreams".

However, the simplistic way of implementing this feature would be to install the update if and only if the record existed in the log, which would mean that attacks would only be detected after the fact. (A targeted attack would actually be quicker to detect and raise the alarm about, since it wouldn't require any code auditing, just the absence of any released code corresponding to an entry in the log). Also, it would technically add a little to the attack surface, since blocking the log servers would be equivalent to blocking the update servers.
After a For-Profit Company Bought EdX – What Happens Next?
I live in Austin TX and got one of the mailers last year. I was wondering how you pulled it off.

The handwriting on the outside does make it look personal but, once you open it, it is obviously computer generated due to the consistency of the writing. If anything, I'd say the writing in inside undermined the message because nobody is going to handwrite a letter to solicit that business. You should test only doing the signature only and see if impacts your response rate.

We also got a couple of 'we want to buy your home' mailings. It does feel like it impacts our open rate but I can't tell if it is just due to novelty.

I think the main reason it 'works' as a business proposition is that the City is doing blanket increases and relying on protests to catch their mistakes. They do this (in part) because they are forbidden from using actual MLS data. It costs me 3-4 hours to do a protest so outsourcing it makes sense if your time is valuable. But when it came down to it, I wasn't willing to let them represent me -- something about it felt off -- and I wound up just accepting the increase.

The system doesn't feel broken -- just wasteful. How else are you going to do a property tax? I do wonder if this goes the way of medical billing (overcharge at first because you know you are going to lose some to protests) or it creates a watchdog effect that make the City limit the increases to an amount that is not likely to draw protests.
