Every time you send a message with Signal, you inform the server which user the message is for. Thus, the server can remember (sending IP, target phone number) pairs and, for similar reasons, (phone number, IP of the user when retrieving messages) pairs. We rely on the server to discard this information; if not discarded, it reveals the social graph and the phone number<->IPs used mapping.

What would you call the insulting hysteria that occurs when an English speaker doesn't change his language and culture to use some foreign-language word for a place?

You'll notice no one goes around demanding a billion Chinese change from 'Měiguó' to the 'USA'. Hell, even the Germans get away with calling 'Beijing' Peking.

All these games are singleplayer games. In multiplayer games the point of the GP post is much more pronounced. If a single strategy beats all others, approximately nobody will play the other strategies and a significant part of your game content may as well not have been written. You need multiple viable strategies (preferably in some sort of rock/paper/scissors loop) to keep the game interesting.

> ObjC was intended to be used in a different way though. ObjC OO is C with an OO layer for interop. You're supposed to write 95+% pure C.

Hmm, it seems then that the programmers at NeXTStep and Apple didn't understand ObjC either, because the highlevel macOS/iOS APIs almost never use C structs for grouping simple data items but instead expensive ObjC objects where even the most simple setter/getter operation involves an objc_msgSend call under the hood.
Your mistake is thinking that that machine "doesn't work". It obviously works for them.
I must be inoculated against this wanting disease because if everyone wants something, I have a visceral desire to avoid it. This is especially true with travel where I avoid all popular sites or destinations. I also don’t celebrate holidays, listen to obscure music, live in an atypical city for tech workers, invited no one to my wedding except a witness, studied German instead of business or comp sci and list goes on. However, maybe it’s an inverse of wanting. Maybe I want those popular things but don’t choose them bc others have.

See my response to you above...

a little unclear if you don't have a hub, or do have an Anker hub, but try moving the Anker hub far away from your Macbook and see if you still have the bluetooth issue. You need a USB cable (depending on what's the hub is you might need a 3.1 Gen2) long enough.

For me it was a hardware proximity issue. Powered external devices interfering with the Mac's bluetooth.
We got contacted by someone spoofing an openbugbounty.org report (similar domain, sent from a Gmail account if you checked headers). The report was copy-pasted from one for a different site, and it didn’t really apply for us (but you had to know the internals). Worse part: based on the email the spoofer used, and the one associated with their PayPal, they had two legit profiles in openbugbounty.org with hundreds of verified bounties.

Less true today, but historically:

I used a DS3 and now a DS4 on my Windows PC for years. They work fine once you install a driver (doesn't even have to be third party, Sony released a DS3 Windows driver, but you can only get it by installing Playstation Now).
You really don't pay more for games or certainly don't have to. Farcry 6 is $60 on PS5 and it's $60 on PC, same with Forza Horizons 5 and as far as I'm aware pretty much every new release. PSN and Xbox Live run similar sales to Steam and often the same games go on sale for the same price at the same time. Plus sometimes there is very good deals at retail or on the used market that just have not existed as an option for PC gamers for like 15 years.

It is also a huge kinda expensive PITA to setup a PC to handle Blu-rays and do Netflix and YouTube as well as a console. UHD drives are not cheap and you need paid software like PowerDVD to actually watch the disc. Getting a good remote interface is tough and when swapping between games, blurays and Netflix/YouTube and games requires entering mouse land. On console its all designed to be used from the couch and works well that way and you can easily get a compatible remote for $20-30 if your TV's doesn't work over HDMI CEC.

skinkestek suggests that based on observation, not only in the case of religion but also in a number of other cases, captain Obvious is not visible to everyone, not even on HN.

I'm always amazed when artists and producers can recognize a sound as something that can be radically transformed, because I'm pretty musical but my imagination doesn't work like that. Kanye is a genius at this.

Here are two other examples I like:

* Daft Punk's 'One More Time', represented visually: https://twitter.com/nehhlmao/status/1363925150958317568

* Pusha T's 'Numbers on the Boards' sampling and reimagining a single measure from an obscure jazz song: https://www.whosampled.com/sample/230451/Pusha-T-Numbers-on-...
> In our research, we found that they’re usually turned off because the frequent beeping causes annoyance or confusion. We sought to design a series of sounds that are audible on the loud bridge, striking a balance between being pleasing and calling for attention at just the right times.

High pitch/fast tempo audio feedback is a pretty common design approach for warnings in medical devices.

If the AQ guys read this thread, I would be pretty curious on a more detailed write-up specifically on your research findings regarding audio feedback?

(And how it lead to these more pleasant lower pitch tones)
I had the same initial reaction in reading the post. My assumption was that indexing would have sufficiently sped up the query speed problem.

However, normalizing the fields that contain repetitive data into separate tables could create significant space savings since the full text for each column would not need to stored for each row. Instead of 20-30 bytes per email address, a 4 byte (assuming 32-bit era) OID is stored in its place.

It's pretty easy to imagine how quickly the savings would add up, and that it would be very helpful in the era before SSDs or even 1TB HDDs existed.
Slightly OT - Isn't it obvious that NSO must be able to control every "copy" of Pegasus it sells?

They wouldn't sell it unless they were absolutely sure it wouldn't be used against its own people and they have no problem selling to their arch enemies.

NSO's defense has always been "we just sell the tech and can't be held responsible for what our clients do with it" (this was clear from the Darknet Diaries episode).

If you consider they must be able to control it, and are therefore perfectly capable of monitoring it, then they become much more complicit in what's being done with it. Same story if somehow 1 license = 1 target. This is something that I don't think was explored enough in DD.
I sort of agree with you, but this particular case is much trickier.

She agreed to the photos in an era when the magazine would be printed once, and reproduction of those pictures was pretty limited. There’s something of an expiry date attached with the whole process.

Instead, she got caught up in the whole computer graphics revolution. She’s the subject of one of the very first widely distributed digitised photos, published in decades of academic journals, and so on. It’s a pretty big difference from what she thought she was consenting to.

> Playing 3d shooter on controller is just like playing it using arrow keys, possible and I was doing that when I played DOOM (the original). Tried it and hated every minute of it because of inprecise shooting.

That's true, but there'a a similar argument to be made about movement -- controllers use an analog stick for movement (or steering) and at least for me (PlayStation gang) it's always a weird feeling only being able to control my character in a binary way (moving/not moving) by typing letters. It's not as game breaking as not being able to aim properly, but it always feels like I'm doing it the wrong way.

> user experience is inferior? how so?

I use linux every day for work and:

- Hidpi support is spotty (its getting better but still a bit spotty)

- Smooth scrolling in applications is inconsistent at best

- The keyboard shortcuts for moving the text cursor around are inconsistent between programs

- Hardware support is much more of a crap shoot. Linux has a harder job than macos in trying to support every combination of janky hardware out there. But as a user, I don't really care. I just know that if I buy a mac, the OS will work perfectly with the hardware on offer. That isn't true on linux.

- Lots of useful software isn't available on linux. Eg, I love Monodraw, but thats macos only.

- App distribution on Linux is a mess. Apt? RPM? Snap? Flatpack? Etc etc. I have 2 copies of discord installed for some reason, and I have no idea what the difference is between them.

Etcetera..

Linux gives you the choice and freedom to spend an unlimited number of hours customizing everything. With linux I'm in complete control and I love that. On macos, things usually just work out of the box. I love that too.

No OS is perfect. There's tradeoffs with everything. If you don't understand other people's preferences, that doesn't make you right. It makes you ignorant.

I remember the Creative Commons launch party, and mistaking Aaron for someone attendee's kid - he would have been what, Jesus, sixteen or seventeen? At least until Larry Lessig introduced him. He was so wee, and so obviously brilliant.

I only ever met him in person once more, at CCC, but we were both working a little bit on an OLPC project. I had such respect for him.

Vaya con Dios, kid.
Israel is just better friends with the US than Middle Eastern states are. Nothing antisemitic or sinister. No need to get all conspiratorial about it.
If you are using ZFS, I strongly recommend using LZ4 or ZSTD compression with PostgreSQL. Performance is still awesome. On average I get 2x compressionratio with LZ4 and 4x with ZSTD.

With this, you are compressing everything, not just columns. And ZFS has dynamic block sizes which works really great together with compression. For example a 8kb PostgreSQL page, may be stored as a 1kb compressed block on disk.
Aaron seemed like the was dealing with a Huge amount of stress caused by his school, and the Fed, by himself basically.

I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. As long as you can capture an image of something, be that by capturing your screen buffer a.k.a. screenshoting, or just pulling out your camera and taking a picture, any DRM scheme for images is circumventable by a child unless your device being complicit in the censorship.

The core point of the article is an image that was scanned in the 1970s. Preventing the spread of something like that requires a system where your devices don’t do what you want them to.

Cheaper for sure but the underlying complexity is completely hidden on consoles. There are many justifications for why PCs "can be simple" if you just buy pre-built, but that only solves your problem for an unspecified amount of time.

With a console, you buy the latest one and play the games until there's a new one (in the case where money is no object). You never have to worry about settings or optimisation, it just works. You also know exactly when your hardware is out of date because there's a new generation console.

Personally I'm a PC gamer, I currently run an RTX 3070 and I still wonder whether my CPU or RAM are limiting performance because I'm not getting the performance I expected (but wasn't guaranteed by any single vendor for my custom build). This is a problem I can solve, but it would be worth it to me to pay someone else to deal with it because I just don't have the time/inclination.

Maybe I should buy a console...
I don't think you would if you don't rely on vulgarism, so please shoot.
For text entry, sure. For all games, not really - some game manufacturers would like competition to stay 'fair' and stick to controllers.
Also people in this thread seem to be adamant that aspiration is definitely unnecessary https://www.reddit.com/r/halifax/comments/qc1cct/during_vacc...

If that is the case then I'd definitely like to hear their explanation for how so many who have come to Myocarditis or long term issues felt metallic taste within 15 seconds.

It's not like this would be a placebo, if so many different sources report the exact same thing?

Besides text anecdotal stories, sources for at least 2 people on video experiencing that metallic taste:

1. https://youtu.be/EcAAiM6VuJQ

2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7inaTiDKaU

And if it did happen to be true that, aspiration could've saved all of those people then I'm endlessly disappointed in capabilities of our medical communities. Especially with so many reports constantly flowing in, in the similar direction.

But generally what I've been reading about aspiration now is that there are pretty convincing reasons not to do it.
> OK, maybe someone's name is one character that's not possible to represent with Unicode. What do you want me to do about it?

The example with The Artist Formerly Known as Prince is rather contrived. More realistic is the Chinese family names which are not yet supported by Unicode.

But if you can get away with it, it is perfectly reasonable business decision to only support names which can be represented as Unicode characters! The point of the article is just that you should be aware about the assumptions you make, and the less assumptions you need to make, the fewer problems.

A less contrived example would be the forms which required a last name of at least two characters. This is just dumb, since "O" is a perfectly valid and even reasonably common last name. So the writers put in extra effort to outlaw certain names, for no benefit whatsoever. Presumably they thought all real names are at least two characters long. Knowing this was a faulty assumption would have saved them the time they spent on making their site less useful.

All of the above is neither here, nor there though. This is not about "where to find info and others interested about a subculture" (sure, online will be easier). Or where to host gatherings for it (sure, online will be easier).

It's about what else you do.

"Normies" still have (or some have) the evolutionary human IRL connection (meetings in meetspace, touching, partners and friends they see face to face, etc).

The subcultures as described in TFA (and what I'm saying might not be the best for them) is lacking that.

That is, the subject is about persons shut-in, with no IRL contact, and connected through the web to some subculture(s). A hikikomori like existence.

Not about some everyday person that is fan of medieval bard songs, and aside their regular meatspace partners, friends, spouses, acquaintainces, etc. also frequent some forums.

Let's put it another way: "Rare people connect online because they are geographically separated" puts the cart before the horse. Connecting online is not the problem (as I see it). Not connecting offline as well is.

And the idea of "a rare person", whose criterium for connecting to someone else is them being part of the same subculture is part of the issue.
I'm a freelancer, so I can always choose not to work. I'm not budgeting a fixed salary, but rather deciding how much of my time I sell. Having to choose between free time and nice things tends to make what I want crystal clear.

For instance, I'd like a faster motorcycle, but I'd also like taking 3 months off. The cost is roughly the same. I could spend those 3 months riding my current motorcycle.

This is the force that counters my desire to keep up with the Joneses.
