Exactly there’s a “guilty by association” fallacy here.

1. You want the government to control production of some resources.

2. Stalin controlled production of some resources

3. Stalin killed millions of people

4. Therefore, you want to kill millions of people

Session is a cool fork from Signal. They adress the two biggest privacy issues, push tokens and IP addresses.

But I can't see it gaining too much main stream traction any time soon. Too me it feels like WhatsApp has hit the sweet spot for people who can't get themselfes to care about security and privacy.
You are watching a master troll at work.

If you're a school district, presumably a quarter of your users graduate every year and are replaced by new students. Which means new chromebooks.

Albeit not as many as they needed at the start of the pandemic.
People don't care when they are just a statistical datapoint, like sure they can see "now a million people are having sex", but nobody will act on that since it isn't interesting. Which is why people would be more fine with having a camera in every bedroom than having a camera in their bedroom specifically.

So arguing "what if I spy on YOU?" wont convince anyone. They see that as a completely different thing.
I apologise for the misleading example "leap year".

Not a recording but a deconstruction of the process of creating a digital image - https://rjp.is/blogging/posts/deconstructing-an-image-2/
Depends on the quality level. In my test, recompressing the original as JPEG quality 12 (with ImageMagick) gives approximately the same size as your 12 color 4x1 dithering, but at better quality (though it's miscolored in places). Webp quality 11 also gives approximately the same size, but looks way better.

I suppose you can argue whether the JPEG artifacts look better or worse than the dithering, but WebP definitely looks better.
Would you please stop breaking the HN guidelines? You did more than anyone to turn this thread into a flamewar, and that's exactly what we're trying to avoid here.

It's not like Microsoft hasn't been trying to make Bing look like Google Search for years (see this 7 year old article: https://betanews.com/2014/10/14/is-microsoft-trying-to-confu...) - but they have apparently concentrated on copying the format and styling of the results pages, the actual search page which the user first sees is still markedly different. But the "Bing wallpapers" are their USP ("Experience beauty every day - make Bing your homepage"), so they're not willing to give them up...
> If not for the energy costs NFTs

NFTs themselves don't have any energy costs. Depending on what network you're using for buying/minting/trading NFTs, there might be energy cost associated with it, but not all NFTs are equal. NFTs based on Proof-of-Stake networks won't have the same energy cost as NFTs based on Proof-of-Work networks.

Unfortunately, it seems that most NFTs are based on the Ethereum platform, which is currently Proof-of-Work. Fortunately, Ethereum is moving to Proof-of-Stake slowly but surely.

But the point still stands, NFTs themselves have no energy costs, only the transactions on the network where they live have that.
Peter Norvig in his essay "Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years"[0] wrote this:

> Learn at least a half dozen programming languages. Include one language that emphasizes class abstractions (like Java or C++), one that emphasizes functional abstraction (like Lisp or ML or Haskell), one that supports syntactic abstraction (like Lisp), one that supports declarative specifications (like Prolog or C++ templates), and one that emphasizes parallelism (like Clojure or Go).

There is also similar advice from other well respected veterans. Being able to choose from a smallish deliberate set of languages that introduce some powerful concept each or have some unique reach.

Then there is "Beating the Averages"[1] by Paul Graham.

> A suspicious person might begin to wonder if there was some correlation here. A big chunk of our code was doing things that are very hard to do in other languages. The resulting software did things our competitors' software couldn't do. Maybe there was some kind of connection. I encourage you to follow that thread. There may be more to that old man hobbling along on his crutches than meets the eye.

I think this hint is important and relates to the above. There are things that you can do in X, that are "very hard" to do in Y, probably vice versa. It is powerful and helpful to know a heterogeneous set of languages and tools.

The distinction between say Java, C# or Typescript is almost arbitrary from a technical, real brain "juice" kind of perspective. The distinction between say SQL, C or Lisp however lets you see a problem in a whole different light as each introduce things you cannot do easily in the other.

Example: Why does a particular Blub webapp suck? Because it runs slow, changes to it take too much time, it has data consistency issues that it moves to the user or introduces as bugs? Hint: There are solutions to these problems and some technologies make them just fall out, almost for free, if one has taken the time to learn them.

I don't yell this down from an ivory tower. I say this as someone who has went through the pain repeatedly, because I and most people around me didn't get this. Pragmatism is not always "what everyone else does."

And coming back to the article; I don't say the ecosystem and the culture around a language or platform don't matter. It is just one factor of many. When looking at these things I found it is _useful_ to consider languages (and so on) that are slightly niche and opinionated enough so they make particular things easy that would otherwise be hard.

Question to all software architects: At which point do you decide to implement a DSL?

Also I see nothing wrong with this except for the hungarian PascalCase…
well, maybe decentralized Signal UI.
Since it does neither use Signal encryption nor does its encryption have the properties modern E2EE encryption has (Perfect Forward Secrecy, existing in Signal, Matrix, Wire and even WhatsApp), it cannot really be called Signal anymore

"Now now Sally, everyone knows before we can talk to another human, unless you are a protected class, you have to sign an interaction receival request. Don't be scared honey, only about half of all interaction receival requests are deemed offensive by the receiver, and punishable by removal of the tongue. Besides, how do you expect daddy to get another loaf of bread if I don't request one from our local CoC Kommando?

I need you to be brave in this world, as right now you are a protected class, you can bargain on my behalf. Please go to the entity presiding over that area and beg them/their/it/they to be sparing with the interaction receival request litigation fees."
I initially expected this to be an example making fun of Java.
That is actually correct and very smart. I can mint an infinite number of ERC20 tokens on Ethereum, and I can create an infinite number of Bitcoin clones. Bitcoin is only scarce in terms of its social support base being different than other coins; the same is true for any NFT. They simply have a supply of 1.

I've also heard it's proponents say that it also provides very high functionality density for for a given memory footprint. Statically compiled languages tend to inline and unroll a lot and optimization control can be very coarse or fiddly. Forth forces (forthes?) you to decide this because is it more like a structured assembly language + runtime. Certainly intriguing.
True, but also most major crime cities have gun control laws. I have a feeling most are legit situations, though, not sure if there's a way to find out. Giving probable cause, police will usually interact with you if you're already doing something bad. Now, we need to make the distinction between "didn't stop at the stop sign" and "just robbed a bank with a gun" bad.

Robbing a bank should not be a reason to be killed either...unless people lives were at risk.

I want to reduce police killings, but not neuter them.

If you do, then you end up with powerless police, which will make matters worse for everyone. E.g. murders in Baltimore https://homicides.news.baltimoresun.com/?range=2014

Look at total for 2014, 2015 and 2020. Up until 2014 you had less and less, with just 211 in 2014. In 2015 you had 342 and later years about the same.

What happened in 2015? Police killed a suspect in custody and protests ensued. Was it right for police to murder a suspect? Surely not...but now you have 100 more people killed each year in the city...600 extra people died in Baltime since those protests.

Those policemen got away with no convictions. The police from 2020 are not walking away from cases like that, so my bet is that we will see a worse wave of murders, this time across America.
Not concerned with whether the example as such is a poor use-case.

Just seeing the mechanics is the point.
No, 妹 means younger sister.

The reason that your father's brother's daughter is not 表, while children of any of your mother's siblings are, is very simple: your father's brother's daughter belongs to the same family you do. Your mother's siblings' children, like your father's sisters' children, belong to other families.
Adding more fuel to the fire is that most of the benefit in learning the underlying principles of software is being able to build, modify and introspect it. In a terminal, to view a text file, you could use cat. On a phone, you download an app. However, you can't pipe your Free TXT Viewer 2000 to another app (and if you could, it would probably inject ads). As the walled garden closes in, the incentives to learn diminish as being able to accomplish anything with such acquired knowledge will be severely limited.
Hey! That was my joke for years.
I think the best update to that CoC will be kindly asking any person from the USofA to not participate. The rest of the document may be left in any state.

Most of problems with harrasment and reactions to it would disappear overnight. The USA does not dominate the contributions anymore, but it does absolutely dwarf anybody else when it comes to shitstorms.
And that is likely long search. Traditional and more modern databases are pretty good. And features that blockchain brings, don't really change that too much or they might even be undesirable...
I'm sorry but this is such an poor attempt to nit pick the obviously false claims made by the UN back then. It's been 20 years since they said we would be past the point of no return and almost no one today believes we are past the point of no return.

Furthermore, those unspecific weasel words they were using back then to try and wriggle out of any predicitons they made back then, they are still using today when they say we will be past the point of no return in 10 years from now. Their wording was clearly meant to trick people into believing there would be mass destruction and climate refugees in 10 years, and people believed it back then, just like people today believe we will be seeing the same in 10 years from now.

That's just your area. I live in a city of around 200,000. They definitely build for families here. I can buy a new 2 or 3 bedroom apartment - a brand-new studio might be more difficult. You can find older ones, though.

(Most families only need 2-3 bedrooms due to family sizes)
Many artists do not want to do commissions. In fact, you could argue that people who want commissions are very selfish. Not only do they want to force artists to work on their thing, often driven by vanity, they even want to own the copyrights to the work!

NFT buyers are clearly more respectful of an artists craft: They buy the work the artist really wanted to create, and they respect the fact that they cannot be the owner of the work in a moral sense.

TIL "criti-hype", a useful label.
There are many instances of internet mobs come down on people. I think explicitly teaching that people should not believe everything they see on the net is still the best mitigation. I know that it is naive to believe that it would solve the problem.

For people affected the best advice is to not engage. Only then it quickly becomes boring for the attackers and they will quickly be enraged by something else.

Sucks, but I believe this is an inevitable consequence of networking everyone to each other. The old tip to not expose to much information publicly helps here too. Public personas have to handle it like in meat space, if you become too popular or infamous, you have to think about PR management. Sucks too, but I don't think there are too many alternatives.

I still think this is mainly on those that actually do send the threats instead of the instigators. Even if you think of his fans as mindless drones, they do have a responsibility for themselves.

Google reader leveraged Googles search index to allow users to easily find RSS feeds on any topic, and build a personal feed of all the articles from their chosen topics.

> People have been speculating on collectibles for thousands of years.

Have they really? IMHO the whole concept of intentionally creating collectibles as a market started (and IMHO became possible) only after strict IP laws that could prevent anyone from making and distributing large quantities of items that should be rare by design.

My favorite example is the fictional collectible card game Gwent in Witcher 3, where the whole concept of rare/scarce cards is ridiculous in the absence of a single organization being able to enforce a monopoly on issuing Gwent cards; the actual expected result should be like ordinary cards, where everyone gets an ace of spades in their deck or chess where both players get a queen, no questions asked; for human-created marketable collectibles (as opposed to actual collections of butterflies or the like) the scarcity can only happen if artificially enforced.
Even though the website looks like yet another "secure messenger scam", at least these guys check the important checkbox of having a reproducible build available at F-Droid. [or apparently not, see below for more]

All or most cops have guns in Australia for what it's worth. That they're not used as often is likely due to training and the likelihood that the person you're arresting won't have one though.
where do you get the idea that all men were gay? and no, being gay is not and never was a choice. one can have sex with people (of the same sex) even when they're not attracted to them but that doesn't make them gay.

counterpoint: a lesbian is able to have sex with a man but that doesn't make her straight either.

There is more to life than bars: More likely, where I am, you are walking distance from grocery stores as bars aren't peppered everywhere. (Going to bars is an expensive hobby in Norway, and pre/post drinking is quite normal). Also, you can't bring the kids to the bar in most places (It used to be legal in Tennessee to a point)

So sure, they aren't going to bars. But they are going to work. They are living in areas where their 6-year-old child can walk to school. Where they can take public transportation to work. And so on.

Dear Microsoft,

You fools, you own a gate to the internet. When i search 8*9 in the start menu, show me the result of the multiplication instead of a link to "search web for 8*9". Make the menu auto-complete with the titles of the first 5 web results instead of random ads. Make it work well as an actually useful extension of search.

I think you're a bit quick on the trigger there. If I want to live a few more years in fear? I've probably traveled to more countries during the pandemic than 99.999% of the people on the planet. Let people live their lives? Did I miss the part where I suggested people can't?

I simply stated:

> It's clear that vaccines are not going to "end the pandemic".

"End the pandemic" is in quotes for a reason. It's obvious that this virus is going to be endemic, if it isn't close to already. Given time, it will almost certainly become another cold-causing coronavirus.

None of this means that having prophylactic antivirals is a bad thing, especially right now for high-risk individuals who have been vaccinated but are more likely to have bad breakthrough infections. If anything, having more treatment options available will make it harder to justify restrictions that negatively impact the lives of the majority who are at lower risk to begin with.
You are right: they have switched away from the signal protocol to their own session protocol during 2021. I did not know that. Last time I checked (late 2020) they were using signals protocol.

For people for whom coding is an iterative, exploratory process, forcing type declarations upfront is not just slower… it’s a no-go.

There’s no way to bootstrap that process for them: you’re asking for the output as an input.

I think TypeScript has one of the best compromises.

Also, I think people are understating how easy dynamic typing makes substitutions — everyone else is writing their class twice (interface + class) just to get the same flexibility.
