Then don't use Discord. It's a gaming chat that is intended to be used while gaming as a primary goal of their service.

There are a wide variety of reasons to be critical of discord (many of them having little to do directly with Discord in particular) but the way they go about process scanning is unintrusive and pretty typical of similar apps, such as Steam, which is actually way more intrusive in some cases due to VAC.
After reading Discourses 4.1 I would like to summarize it as a defense of the institution of slavery that goes something like “Slavery is good because slaves themselves don’t know what it means to be free and freedom is actually a burden in the wrong mindset so it shouldn’t be for everyone.” (Ignoring that slavery, the deprivation of personhood, is an inhumane burden somehow comparable to “oh no I’m free and now I have to answer to Caesar”) Yes, it’s an odd opinion from a former slave who was maimed by a former master.

Unfortunately this argument is sustained all through history and today we have people going something like “actually, working multiple minimum wage jobs and struggling to pay rent is good”.
So if you can find developers then it makes sense to better software in a more powerful language? That seems like not really a problem with either of those two languages.
This seems like a false headline. The article doesn’t point to a single publisher who says they’ve lost trust in Google-led initiatives. They quote some software devs with anti-Google takes, but the only actual publisher they talked to doesn’t seem to have an issue.
Something I always told myself I'd get around to. I've been meaning to set up Ubuntu on my desktop so I can use it for development, anyone have a good tutorial for setting up steam/proton?

We are between a rock (these kinds of extreme solutions) and a hard place (allowing current trends to continue because there are no clear solutions which can be counted on due to corruption/greed/short-term-thinking, which aren't going away).

I see no way around anticipating increasing chaos for the foreseeable future. If you care about the long term health of yourself and your community/family, you should probably be looking for a region with plentiful local resources and inhospitable terrain.

The gp already alluded to it: the big difference with strategic work is you need to have the client's trust in your ability to solve their business problem, not just in your ability to code. This is why it's so hard to find, they are buying you / your team instead of just "a developer". You need to be close enough to them that they can be candid about their challenges and understand their challenges enough to provide good advice. This mostly only can happen through very strong referrals + lots of time put in getting to know the client and problem. Which is why the approach mentioned by the GP in their other comment is really the only way.
> He said (...) "Nobody minds going into a basement restroom and peeing because there’s no window".

We don't mind peeing in a windowless room because we spend so little time there. Why does he think restrooms and bedrooms are the same? Being disingenuous on this level is just being stupid.
I've never had this be a problem.
I am a mod on a subreddit that has public mod logs. There is a bot with mod permissions that logs every action any moderator takes including saving the content of erased posts and makes it publicly available.

I think more subreddits should use a tool like this.
That anecdote is in part due to the fact that the engine that was used was already Linux-friendly and was already ironed-out, so it made sense that more agnostic bugs are reported, whereas other developers resent (native) Linux support due to distros not even fully following LSB or outdated libraries, which in Windows has at least the concept of side-by-side libraries.
Thanks, you're right, wording confused me, I thought there were 3 Nathaniel whites.

I grew up in a mining city (Ostrava, black coal). Now the mines are closed, but when I was a kid, they were in full operation.

Disasters happened infrequently, but when they did, they were ugly. A spark at a wrong time in a wrong place, and sixty fathers would never come back home again.

Mining is freaking dangerous. The forces of nature involved are enormous, and human is but a small ant facing them.
I'm not sure we're talking about the same things here. I assume you don't really think that wikipedia shouldn't say, just in general, that they are opposed to murdering people, because it's a "political alignment"?

But ok, are you saying that being opposed to racism in itself isn't an inappropriate "political alignment", but using the words "Black Lives Matter" is?

No, I don't think that if someone critisizes or dislikes the movement "within that context" they are necessarily dismissive of police brutality against Black people or feel Black people don't deserve the same safety as others. (I do think they are mistaken about some things).

But do you think... refraining from critisizing the movement under that name is a "political alignment" that is inappropriate for wikipedia? I'm trying to understand what part of what wikipedia has done you think is an inappropriate "political alignment" for them.

The key was that it didn't matter which hardware was hosting the game. You connect to that server, which may be from similar locations, or may be hosted by the community. Calling it as a "server" had the implication that it wasn't necessarily the game publisher that was running the server.
Many fewer vaccinated people are getting infected than unvaccinated

I think the data is showing that isn't true, that the numbers are nearly equal in places with a high percentage of the population vaccinated. The only benefit is that the vaccinated don't get as severely ill.

Also offices. Not something you see often in Europe (not impossible, maybe, but very rare).
At UCSB many (most?) students live in private housing after 1 or two years.
We are but muggles, so I don't think we need to worry about teleporting children appearing in the time it takes you to get back in the car. You know your blind spot is clear and can see where your future blind spot is now.

> Who made them mandatory?

US, Canada, EU (I think they allow an alternative 'detection system'), possibly others.
It’s Southern California. I went to school in Arizona. Pretty much everyone put foil over their dorm-room windows. My sister went to UCSB. Their house had blackout curtains.

As an adult, I adore windows. As a teenager and young adult, I wanted to sleep in after drinking too much or pulling an all nighter. (I passed this to a friend, an architect in Arizona. They think Munger’s spot on.)

It’s not a windowless building. It’s a building with windowless units. If someone really wants a window, they can get one. (Also, it’s UCSB. Most students move off campus after freshman year.)
Yes, that's why you still have these 'ubuntu_12' folders in the Steam installation, since they have never updated this in the past 9 years. So in reality, native Linux development has pretty much failed, and they have put all their money on Proton. That is probably the right decision from a business perspective, but it's pretty much a defeat nonetheless.
Pay Attention, Are You?
> Because government regulation doesn't allow fixed power plants to charge a fixed yearly fee. If the government did allow this then the market would indeed price everything correctly.

In the US, in most markets (except ERCOT/TX), it's the opposite of what you say. Government regulation _requires_ either the market operator or load serving entity to contract for capacity (as opposed to energy). PJM, which operates the largest market in the US, runs an annual auction for capacity. Incredibly, due in part to subsidies offered to the natural gas industry, existing nuclear power plants have not cleared in the auction. [0, 1]

I don't think I grasped any of the concepts you tried to expose as benefits of crypto.

It doesn't make sense the jump from keeping state in a distributed, trusted store for a finite state machine to deploying chat rooms, etc., what do you mean? Synchronising those states through a blockchain just to enforce some kind of distributed trust? I really don't get it.

I might be too stupid for this, bear with me. I've heard the argument about L2+ chains for a long time, Lightning has been around since 2017 and I still see this comment popping up, I still see TX fees high as fuck.

I really would like a more clear explanation of what you see as benefits, this whole paragraph reads as pure techno-babble to me.
Anyone care to comment on how [Deno](https://deno.land/) might address some of the issues shared in this thread?
Reddit is a pretty blatantly terrible, overreaching, and user hostile website. It's not great for realtime communication and serves an entirely different purpose.

It's like saying everyone on IRC should instead host a PhpBB instance for their communities.
After reading his interview, I feel much better about what Munger says about bitcoin. If he is so wrong here...

He also paid for the dorm at the Stanford Law School 15 yrs back. He insisted that the single occupancy rooms for the law students will be very large. The University pushed back saying that neither Stanford, nor students who will pay larger rent, will be able to afford that. Munger said that you could cut these rooms in half later, if you so desire. His argument was that the smaller rooms would be harder to cut in half later. I suppose that’s right.
With so many people now vaccinated, why are we seeing record infections if the vaccine is working? It just doesn't add up.
Google trusts Wikipedia. And that's sort of the problem with this case. Google was showing this guys picture on the search results page in an infobox as a serial killer.

This is a non sequitur. Someone was responding to you specifically about spike proteins and was demonstrating why your assumption was based on some incomplete understanding.

Why talk about the two weeks thing?

If you're frustrated about covid, well ... join the club. It includes literally everyone.
Consider that UCSB might not have enough space/money to provide each student with their own window.
This and the post you are replying to both sound like sabotage by a competitor rather than legit data collecting.
> The basic idea of the economy is people can earn the right to energy, and then direct it to a goal of their choosing.

Or is it that people (through government) decide what’s allowed to do in the market, and things with negative externalities are banned or taxed?

I can’t decide to buy an incandescent lightbulb and put my money towards more electricity to drive it.
Is there anything wrong with classism, and is there any reason to lump these together that is not extremely specific to the USA?

I grew up relatively poor, and I am generally very classist (modulo educational opportunities, i.e. for adults with no/little other disadvantages) because, well, I knew and saw a lot of poor people; almost all the same ethnicity as myself.
I guess Skoda was breaking the law when they made the citigo. That didn't even have radar reversing sensors as standard.

Methane is the chemical feedstock for making fertilizer, being the primary source of hydrogen in large-scale industrial chemistry. There are no economical substitutes at scale. You can't replace it with unreliable electricity because it is not being primarily used as an energy source.

If methane becomes expensive, many ordinary things you might not expect will also become expensive. It is not helpful to naively make policy while oblivious to the consequences.
And this is the post of someone who doesn't know anything about Charlie Munger. If you think he has "been surrounded by yes-men for so long", I have some news for you. He doesn't manage anyone.

TLDR: All government services to be on IPv6 by 30 June 2022. All new consumer connections must have IPv6 after 31st Dec 2022. All existing consumer CPE must be upgraded to support IPv6 by Dec 2022.

I was eagerly awaiting this regulatory intervention. Glad to see it coming soon.
Did it come out before the end of 2021? I'm guessing yes. That's when the EU law comes into effect.
That’s totally unrelated to this article.
No, just personal experience. When I worked at Uber, the main office was so big that it meant that large parts of the office were dark. Some teams, like, super critical to the core business and highly compensated paid teams, actually hung a bunch of plants in their area as a way to cope with not seeing sunlight.

Someone going on a rant about how miserable they were about having too much sunlight, while at the same time being incapable of applying incredibly common trivial solutions to solve this calamity - I found this quite silly and it made me a bit upset.
Also, it’ a Santa Barbara. You get enough sun in Santa Barbara, and don’t have sunless winters. If this were proposed in e.g. New York, I would object.
Mylk? Melk?

You would definitely enjoy the Robert sepehr rabbit hole. He hits on what you described and a whole lot more. Watching him, I'm like how is this information not more widely known. But I never have the time to do independent digging, to confirm or deny his research. But super entertaining.
Went to school at ASU, lived in Manzanita dorm. Can confirm, we had foil on our windows, too… but as much because the old building had weak air conditioning, though the sun could be brutal. More recent buildings at ASU have window treatments for variable sun conditions.
I think this was talking about "energy" in the same very loose sense as the original post, which was using the term energy for talking about the provenance of the fuel. The heavy elements used in fission are not created in the almost eternal smoldering suns but in the relatively short events that follow.
Fast diffing of objects may be seen as rarely needed to a regular user, but it’s very important part of handling vdom/vnode diffs. Recently I researched few lesser web ui libraries for my own use and found out that many of them do not diff vnodes correctly, e.g. in case of RegExp or Date arguments. I don’t remember exact library names vs flaws, but my conclusion was that almost all of non-actively supported libs had it in one way or another. If you want to explore, check that first, because it’s a surprising pain point.

Seems that this particular library is aware of these potential issues (which motivated me to write this comment): https://github.com/AsyncBanana/microdiff/issues/2

That's, to me, one big problem of tech. It's jumped shark in many ways. Mainstream computing influenced by previous eras makes no sense. People don't need tools like companies since the 50s. It's another soil entirely. To an extent I even consider (pardon the following exaggeration) the mainstream computer market a fluffy distraction.. when I was a kid, my parents bought me a desktop. To do what ? office tasks at home. It was amazing, writing document on a screen, printing them in color. So cute, but it has no value anymore. It was just a twist on "you too now have access to big boys toys". Availability and all that. My brain cannot consider that we're selling sub watt pocket super computers so that people can whine on twitter or swipe pictures. I know some use are seriously useful, but it's becoming absurd to push things further to me. It's bubbly.
Edit: This is in response to the "fleet of Pi's" question, obviously a Mac Mini is not going to be cheaper to rent than a single Pi! The aforementioned VPS route is the better way to go for that case.

Scaleway will give you an 8 core 16GB RAM 256GB SSD M1 Mac Mini for €0.1/h. It may not sound like much of an increase from core count but it is ~10x faster for multicore which means it probably comes out on top for perf/€, perf/Watt, and total perf compared to a rack of Pi 4's for any such distributed ARM use case.

For pure traditional cloud a Graviton2 instance on AWS is probably more green, albeit probably less cost efficient to the user.
> More recent buildings at ASU have window treatments for variable sun conditions

Manzanita and Barrett. The latter, new. (And everyone had hacked the air conditioner controls to override the limiter on week one.) Still had foil. It’s hot and bright and even with dark skin I was frequently sunburned.
> Surprisingly, he said he doesn’t believe universities should allow donors to choose architects. “If you allow the donor to pick the architect, which has been done in many places, the buildings look like shit.

Munger is something else. His opinions are almost that of a child. One could wager that it's due to his age, but he actually seems pretty sprite, so to speak, for his age, so I think he's just like that. Since the resignation article came out, I've watched some interviews with him, and he has unbridled confidence that the thing he's saying is right, and all the comments fawn over him. It isn't hard to understand how he's gotten to be this way.

Some quotes of his:

> “You’ve got to get used to the fact that billionaires aren’t the most popular people in our society,” he told MarketWatch. “I’d rather be a billionaire and not be loved by everybody than not have any money.”

I honestly struggle to understand what he means by this, but I have a hunch it's not good.

> “Everybody loves light and everybody prefers natural light. But it’s a game of tradeoffs,” Munger said in an interview. “If you build a big square building, everything is conveniently near to everybody in the building. If you maximize the light, you get fewer people in the building.”

Ahh, the maximal packing version of architecture.

> “What I learned was how stupid I was. Imagine taking years to decide that the kids should get their own bedroom.”

Plenty of designs allow students their own room. The fact that he considers this a design leap is problematic.

> “If this building fails, it will be the first Munger building that fails."

No introspection.

I think what is the sickest thing is the UCSB Chancellor's comment:

> UCSB Chancellor Henry T. Yang has called Munger’s proposal an “inspired and revolutionary” design that will offer “an unprecedented residential experience.”

What a sycophant.
> But Munger didn’t return the favor. He said McFadden “reacted with his gut like an idiot.

Actually taking a place of a qualified professional when you don't know shit, being infatuated and calling a professional who is showing you the mistakes you made, an idiot, makes you look like an idiot.

I wouldn't actually say that Munger is an idiot, I don't think an idiot can make that much money. Idiot no, infatuated yes.

You're right, evidence of locked is not there. And I'm not fully convinced they're slaves, either, as many conditions bind people to work. There's definitely a lot of ambiguity from these time periods, but whitewashing slavery in written text is a well-known phenomenon
Thanks for the clarification.

It’s cool that google has a ton of money and can give people free access to lots of big servers, but it sounds like what you are excited about (lots of cpu cores, RAM, many VMs) seems to be mostly unrelated to the actual new TPU hardware, which is sorta disappointing.
Except that enough studies have shown already that piracy doesn't hurt sales. And I'd add my point myself - it's the decisions of companies that do hurt them - whether is releasing a broken product, limiting something to a particular country or TV channel (like the olympics) etc.

Piracy is not at fault, it's just that you provide inferiour product (or straight up no product at all)

This is the original source of the interview:

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-the-tuesd...

Some quotes:

What would you say to [Denis McFadden] if you had the chance?

Well, if he knew more about it, he would have had more correct conclusions.

What else does he have to know, in your view?

The reason this building is the way it is, is because there are enormous advantages in having a lot of undergraduates conveniently near one another and conveniently near everything else they like to be near.

The logical way to do that is to make a building in a big footprint and devote the top floor of it — which is a penthouse floor normally given to rich people, you know, for condos — and give that to the students as their common space, and to put a certain amount of academic space into that gigantic top floor with all the light and air and so forth.

And so it's just that it was so novel, he's never seen that done, and he doesn't like it when it's different from what he's used to.
