> So if you are far-right, but only to brown people

You can't be "far-right" to someone. It isn't a verb. And if someone only takes far right positions on the topic of brown people they aren't far right - they are something complicated that needs more description.
I don't know if people gloss over it, or it's just a good place to start. It's like if you were wondering how a giant Lego set came to be, you might start with the pieces.
I understand the fact that you don't have the motivation of "gotta get to work/home!", but you could always get up earlier and go on a looped bike ride before and/or after work (I've actually seen a lot of people doing this as a sort-of "simulated commute", which they claim also helps with creating a mental office-home separation).
By that logic, we should all be living in prison cells.

I don't even know what the fuck generation I am, when I was a kid they called me Gen X but then I got retconned to Gen Y and now who knows. When I started highschool mobile phones and the internet weren't a thing and when I started university they were ubiquitous, that should date me closely enough.
Wow, this entire thread has made me appreciate OpenBSD a lot more compared to FreeBSD/NetBSD. I'm interested to hear about part 2 when it comes out and what he has to say about macOS/Apple.
What an incredibly dramatic comment. Are you being serious right now? HN is not remotely representative of the general population, much less undergraduate student population.

And most students aren't going to let their anti-authoritarian angst/daddy issues get in the way of an easy commute and good night's sleep.

People think like this all time, until something happens to them. A few years ago I seriously hurt myself in a ski accident. I'm better now, but only then did I notice all the little things that we could do, without really much effort on our part, to make things accesible for other people. I'm not talking about treating anyone special at all, I mean accessible in the most literal sense of the word. To even have a seat at the metaphorical table.

All I can say is that if you were in a similar situation you would just see this differently, which is an obvious thing to say, I know, but I really mean it. Like, you would with every fiber in your body, just see this entire situation completely differently.

Any way, I don't think there's any harm in asking the "why" question, but it is harmful to ask it rhetorically I guess? I'm not saying that's what you were doing, but I mean just generally speaking, to ask the question as if to make a point assuming the answer is already known. It implies the question doesn't need asking, and the answer is obvious. The real truth couldn't be further from that, but it's kind of hard to understand if you can't experience it for yourself.

Also, I really want to just head off any "truth is subjective" type comments, or "your reality vs my reality". It's like, yes, there is always that, but what I mean is if someone suddenly lost their mobility and had to experience a world suddenly inaccessible, they would just understand what I mean in a way that's deeper than petty rhetoric. It just wouldn't make any sense by that point to pretend that this isn't important.
Thanks for the effort in writing this out.
"Now one speculative [i.e., theoretical] science is said to be nobler than another, either by reason of its greater certitude, or by reason of the higher worth of its subject-matter...Of the practical sciences, that one is nobler which is ordained to a further purpose, as political science is nobler than military science; for the good of the army is directed to the good of the State."

My social skills are absolutely fine, i can assure you of that.

But I am utterly annoyed with selfish people effectively pulling the whole collectivity back to the office because they can't go bike for two hours or some other dumb reason.

It's okay if you got a bit lazy during the pandemic and no one is denying that... but you don't have to pull all your coworkers to the office, you can just go bike or do some other physical activity it's probably going to get better.

It's particularly important not to be an asshole when you're arguing for a position which is actually true. Doing that discredits the truth, and that hurts everyone.

(I don't know if what you're arguing here is true, but since you seem to be sure that it is, you should be treating it more carefully.)
This is not as important as one might think, as long as updates keep flowing in (which they do). For 'ports,' there is sbopkg which keeps the software that is not included in the OS install up to date. Then there is pkgs.org and pkgsrc.org. And in a rare case if I need the bleeding edge version of something and is not available as a package from anywhere I can always install it by hand - Slackware is highly tolerant towards software that does not come in the form of a package.
It's hard for me to imagine FB succeeding at this. Yes they might be able to build out the technology, but as John Carmack implied yesterday [0], the two killer apps for shared reality are "Adult Entertainment"--which FB will never do--and business meetings.

What business is going to let Facebook be the intermediary of its private internal communications? It would be hard to imagine even if FB was a relatively trusted company, but at the moment FB ranks somewhere between used car dealers and payday loan companies on the public trust scale.

The good news about this announcement is it gives other -- more competent and trustworthy -- companies permission to begin to work on a real metaverse.

The previous (and maybe this) hacks were smaller than their profits so far.
The cases eventually just expired, and with all hubhub I think the Swedish prosecution also just realized it was becoming a bit pointless. There are some people who claim it was all fabricated by secret U.S. agents or whatever, but that's little more than a conspiracy theory – the allegations were pretty credible, although obviously never proven in court. As with many things, it's not just the allegations that are damning, but also Assange's response to them, which was less than graceful, to put it mildly.
"We apologize to our users and community for this unfortunate incident and thank you for your support"

I do wonder how much support they're getting.
The point being made was wrong, and the language suggests rhetoric more than reason.
First: you can disagree with someone and not be an asshole about it. Please consider reading the HN guidelines again.

Second: you are dismissing the fact that having an office to go to gave a lot of people a routine as well as forced social interaction. Now, it requires strict discipline to try and enforce it on yourself, whereas before it was a default.

I share this commenter’s experience. That you don’t is fantastic for you, but doesn’t make it any less legitimate.
If someone is donating 15% of project costs but with strings attached that make the project more than 15% worse (which arguably might be the case here), then that's not a good deal and should be rejected.
> sadly there is significant part of population still buying it

I guess I'm part of that significant fraction of the population buying it. So let me explain what I'm buying.

I'm buying the idea that freedom is not absolute. "One's freedom to swing his fist ends at the tip of someone else's nose" and all that. One's freedom to be drunk ends the moment they step into a driver's seat. Society has to negotiate curtailments of freedom all the time.

In many states, kids can't go to public schools if they don't show their vaccination records [1]. This was long before Covid. When the Covid shot will be fully approved for kids, I'm sure it will be added to the list of mandatory shots, which is already quite long (for example, in my state, immunization is required for 10 diseases [2]).
I don't personally find anything worrisome about adding Covid to the list.

Now, you could say, you're not fighting for this particular thing, but rather for the idea of freedom in general. I understand that, and commend it. Governments try to expand their reach all the time, but fortunately, we live in a society with multiple checks and balances, and for a few hundred years we've managed to avoid tyranny. But we need to keep being vigilant, and deny the Government powers that is should not have.

But, as you said, in the end the Government is nothing. It's "we the people". On the topic of Covid, "we the people" are divided, but a majority welcome the vaccination, and are eager to get to the point of herd immunity, so we can leave the disease behind. On this topic, the Government does represent the will of a majority of the people. When you elect to fight the Government on this one, you are fighting a large number of fellow citizens. And it's fine, it's your prerogative, in the end the Constitution is there to prevent both the tyranny of a king, but also the tyranny by majority. The fact that a majority of the population is pro-vax does not automatically mean it's a just cause. But it does mean that you should give it due consideration, and not assume automatically that we are all just fools who buy all the lies sold to us by some maleficent, shadowy, invisible actors.

> The idea was conceived by 97-year-old billionaire-investor turned amateur-architect Charles Munger, who donated $200 million toward the project with the condition that his blueprints be followed exactly.

Huh, just so happens Munger Graduate Residence is one of the nicest residences, or maybe the nicest residence at Stanford (or at least was when I was there).
I’m not sure why this is being downvoted, Assange certainly has burnt through a lot of good will with the kind of people that would have been his allies.

Indeed. The "devil is in the details" though. You can "get away with", for example, fewer entrances/exits if you compensate by requiring fire proof construction, sprinklers & standpipes, fire rated interior partition doors, etc.

We don't know yet how many (if any) of those things will apply to Munger Hall. I have reached out to SBFire to ask some of these questions, and hope to hear back from them.
Not a hack, in the sense of breaking/bypassing security. Each step in the chain of transactions appears to have been a legitimate transaction. It seems more like market manipulation.

I'm not sure if that makes it better (no security was broken) or worse (these markets are highly susceptible to manipulation)
That's an interesting point. I suppose we will find that any DeFi platform that survives for a decade or two will have some of the highest quality software in the world. It's survival of the fittest code.
That put way too much intent over people's actions IMO. Who the hell are these aristocrats orchestrating multi-generational psy-ops? Do they meet over brunch to plan it? Not every theory has to be explained by conspiracies. I don't know if Strauss-Howe's theory is accurate, but it seems to me (a layman) completely defensible thru plain psychology, sociology and observation, a defensible "natural evolution/patterns of societies theory".
People may have thought to themselves "Given all the mistakes they have made, they must have learned by now."
Sway does not use d-bus. It listens on a unix socket (different from the wayland socket) for control messages.

Gnome/Kde compositors don't use d-bus either, they instead use wayland extensions for control (since both the compositors and clients have to implement wayland already anyway, this is easier than using d-bus).
I just want to point out that reading rudeness in that comment is your own choice, my intent was really a suggestion.

Rudeness here is in the eyes of those who call it that.
That’s really interesting and I’ll see if I can try it. Thanks for posting.
I don't see that as "supporting" it, with the exception of maybe the one line about wokeism. However, I do think it would serve well to better understand the mechanisms behind stereotyping.
It's more basic than that. The universe itself, entropy, means you must "work or die," in the most basic sense.

Complaining about that unavoidable reality of existence is pointless.
Yeah, there's a reason Texas threatens to secede every now and then but never actually does. Most American states have nothing to offer the world as independent nations and nothing to gain versus being part of the world's last superpower, assuming they could even operate as such after so many years of deeply integrated Federalism.

"Right now, Generation X just wants a beer and to be left alone."

That is the problem. It should take over the reins now. Gen X has the problem that it was educated by ex-hippies with massive egos and personalities, who later sold out the West to China.

Gen X has major confidence issues and should get rid of them. It is under a two-pronged attack from the last boomers and woke millenials. Well, fight!
That's literally the exact opposite of what that quote implies:

1. Hard times (e.g. the Depression and WWII) bred the strong people of the Greatest Generation.

2. These strong people brought the prosperity that let to the good times of the Baby Boomer generation.

Leave it up to you to determine what kind of times Baby Boomers have brought.
I don't think either of us is qualified to express fire-safety-analysis statements with absolute certainty, but I would think the prior likelihood would be very small that plans would be drawn up with glaring fire-code violations, or that fire code would be written to allow the possibility for dangerous queueing hazards.

> That was a pretty rude dismissal of a fraction of my experiences during all of this. You might want to reflect on what WFH has done to your social skills.

I agree with you there.

The problem with WFH is that it doesn't force very many "transitions," which turns a lot more things into intentional acts that take more mental energy to initiate. The result it it's a lot easier to slide into a "blah" kind of state without even realizing it, and a lot harder to pull yourself out of one.
Flagging this because the comments are going to be a disaster.
"I'm never going to see these people again, might as well defecate on the floor and urinate on the toilet paper" is my natural attitude, too

I thought you could use one of them tiny portable toilets, then. Is there no place in a truck to put it? One is like 40 cm in size in all dimensions.
What change are you proposing exactly? The neighboring countries don't particularly want to let in the millions of Bangladeshis who will be displaced due to sea level rise. Accepting climate refugees might be the morally correct thing to do but as a practical matter most countries don't want the expense and social burden.

Mirror neurons.

My kids are being raised on a diet of learn to compute and be kind, not a conqueror.

Rather than stories of Davids and Goliath, or it has to work this way because it did work this way.

Mirror neurons can start blinking on and off to less specific story, constrained to build and tend kingdom or flock.

The toughness humanity has rewarded belongs to conquerors of others. The toughness we need is conquering self.

I don’t owe billionaires validation, or politicians allegiance. They can tough out having their figurative identity suffocated.

that sounds like a good thing
> Software breaks itself simply by being unmaintained.

It really doesn't; unmaintained software breaks when the world changes around it. Sometimes this is fair, like needing to keep up with changes in how the kernel exposes graphics capabilities, and sometimes it really isn't, like applications deciding to only support wayland when they aren't doing anything that wouldn't work fine on X11.

> If people were serious about Xorg, it would see more activity.

Nuclear solves all these problems and potentially buys enough time to figure out how to mitigate the worst effects of 2C+ degrees of warming which at this point is basically inevitable. France seems to be the only sane nation in the world right now while everyone else is doubling down on what brought us to this point. [1]

> France has 56 nuclear power reactors in operation, with two units closing in 2020 at Fessenheim (61 370 MW(e)) and one EPR reactor under construction at the Flamanville site. Nuclear power plants accounted for 70.6% of total French electricity generation in 2019, and about 90% of France’s electricity comes from low carbon sources (nuclear and renewable).

We went decades without PGE systems routinely causing fires. Conditions now are somewhat different, but not that different. The important difference is PGE's maintenance policies. They abandoned that responsibility in order to deliver a dividend. They were ordered to resume, but there is a huge backlog of work.
For $1.5 Billion, why don't they just build 1000 luxury 5 bedroom mansions? If they had the land area, they could even build 5000 individual detached homes for that budget. They could even splurge and give each bedroom a window!
No.

I argue that your style of buffering causes the delays we see.

If Ford hoarded 1 year of chips, not only would Ford not be making cars, nor would anyone else be making cars. Every single chip made last year went into a car: and pretty much every car was sold.

We are limited at the chip manufacturing level. The only solution is to make more chips. This process of spinning up chip production takes months to years.

Blaming JIT for showing us the answer is backwards.

------------

That being said: we do have substantial buffers where it counts: dealership lots. We don't actually have a car shortage yet, just a dramatic increase in car prices. We're all looking ahead to the future to see a lack of production because we're actually more forward looking than we give ourselves credit for.
Somewhat. Seeing people during WFH also requires advance planning now, to align schedules, etc. In a non-WFH environment, it was much easier to see people spontaneously. That has nothing to do with the pandemic and everything to do with the fact that you were already colocated and could thus grab lunch, dinner, go out to karaoke after work, or whatever, and it could be done without significant advance planning.
What makes this Gen Z behavior acceptable? Chiding the next-older generation for their culture is akin to making fun of the accent of your coworker who was born in India. It's just rude.
Is there a local jurisdiction in this country that approves permits without checking if they‘re valid for the local fire code? That just doesn‘t pass the smell test.

I would hope not. The article describes this as a "proposal" and I'm not sure how far along they are with it. Maybe they haven't even gotten as far as submitting a design for fire safety inspection yet. Or maybe they have, got feedback, and made adjustments in response, and the article above glossed over that. It's hard to say based only on what we know from TFA at the moment.

This is not a cyberattack hack. It is just someone cleverly exploiting loopholes. The same happened to Ethereum at launch where they had to renege on their "promise" of (not-so-)smart contracts and create a fork.

From the article:

C.R.E.A.M. was targeted by what is known as a flash loan attack. Flash loans are uncollateralized cryptocurrency loans structured so that they must be paid back instantly using smart contracts, making them attractive for things like arbitrage across exchanges. If the loan isn’t paid back, then it never happens, because both occur in the same transaction.

Analysts on social media who pored over the details of the attack suggested that the hacker exploited C.R.E.A.M. in an incredibly complex transaction for a flash loan that ultimately allowed the hacker to drain C.R.E.A.M.’s Ethereum-based lending pools, leading to a gain of around $130 million in different tokens. The attack cost the hacker roughly 9 ETH in network fees, or around $36,000.
I'm still not sure I "get" the use case for DuckDB. From what I understand, it's like a nifty, in-memory SQL, but why is that better than just running PostGRES or Microsoft SQL server locally, where your data structures and tables and stuff have a lot more permanence?
