Semi-related: I really like minio, and there is only so much I can complain about since it _is_ free…

… but I do wish they would implement being able to store objects at arbitrary keys. Some combinations of keys are not possible to store at the same time. And I guess to me it seems… odd… and maybe even frustrating?, that they say it was a “blunder” on AWS’s part to implement such a thing. [1]

For example, as far as I know, in minio you can’t have objects at both of the below keys:

red

red/blue

while in AWS S3, this is fine

Where's TCP/IP, hummingbirds, wine, AirBnB, microchips, and human language acquisition?
You're right. Before recent centuries wars were often fought to acquire slaves since it equaled free work power and women to breed children in case of population declines. It just stroke me while reading a bit of trivia about the Vikings show I have been watching two seasons of and yet I didn't realize their motivation for raiding and plundering was acquiring human resources.

I would. I expect physics students to get past their knee-jerk intuitions and think about the principles they've been taught. Otherwise what's the point of learning physics?

Your last sentence is perfect: pithy. This same strategy is, of course, also used by short sellers. Larger hedge funds have a PR team that works to increase media coverage of their short positions. See: Bill Ackman and Herbalife.

The same people who are arguing for "no homework" are also the ones arguing for "no tracking." So, in your hypothetical, this kid who can do algebra at age 5 would fail his math class but also not get placed in an advanced math track doing calculus at age 6 where he/she belongs.

The format makes different tradeoffs vs. the zip format, making creation more expensive but reading cheaper. With that said, if you imposed additional restrictions on the zip archive (e.g., sorted entries, always include end of central directory locator), and the reader understands that the archive conforms, the performance difference will probably be imperceptible.

Uh, is there any logical reason to think that the genome of a human - or any other higher level organism - has coded for unique antibiotic combinations that, e.g. various fungi which have spent the last billion years in daily fist fights with bacteria? I'm all for trawling the DNA of any creature for magical recipes, but our DNA has to code for a lot, and immune response is only a small part of it. Seems like it would be a lot more efficient to focus on phages or fungi and study what peptides they activate in response to specific bacteria, than just throwing endless processing cycles at the human genome hoping for, uh, grant money?
Years ago on zeit.de, the online version of the German newspaper, you could sort the user comments by upvotes. But the most upvoted comments often happened to be quite critical of the articles or what might be called the political mainstream. Then at some point the button for sorting by upvotes was removed, and has been absent ever since. I felt somewhat reminded of this sudden disappearence.
Redoing things until you understand them thoroughly is the point of homework assignments. The test is supposed to assess if the material was learned, not teach it.

The reason it hasn't fallen against those other currencies is that the other currencies' supplies have increased more during this period. The printing was global, and the US not a leader on it.

Against everything else than other unlimited supply currencies, fiat money has fallen dramatically. It's a simple fact, not an endorsement of anything.

Everyone knows the basic mechanics of supply and demand on price, but somehow when it comes to fiat money, many manage to swap common sense with a number of convoluted theories.
I find the video associated with Ron Paul's tweet to be very informational on this subject.

Well, if I'd start from scratch I'd try to run experiments in different classes and see what works out best. Perhaps with a slight bias toward no grades because of the people in my life, there's a strong correlation between "cares a lot about grades" and "stress is psychologically harmful".

But fortunately I'm not starting out from scratch. People have made those experiments already. Grades suck.

Among other things that do work, guided retrospectives are one idea I would be tempted to implement. (Hell, we software developers know that too: when we want to get better, we hold retrospectives, we don't ask the scrum master to assign a letter grade!)

Interesting thing is, Qanon isn't even 4chan at its most activist, there was Anonymous and all of its ops:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_events_associated_...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(hacker_group)

And Qanon isn't even /pol/ at its most politically active, given how they rode the memetic wave into the 2016 elections.

While there might not be a direct material connection between 4chan and r/wallstreetbets, the latter's culture was certainly shaped by the same posting style as 4chan- so perhaps a good deal of meme stock activity in the past two year is also distantly descended from Lowtax's decisions.
Things have changed. We received a "Department of Defense ID Number" at some point to use wherever SSNs were previously used on paperwork, computer systems, etc. Even ID tags ("dog tags") now have your DoD ID Number printed on them instead of your SSN. Any document with SSNs must be encrypted in transit and stored/processed only by systems with special accreditation and access controls for Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

With that said, most of us gave up worrying about our SSN a long time ago. It definitely was printed everywhere and used for everything for a long time. And then the Office of Personnel Management breach happened in 2014-2015...
Same for Bear Stearns. First hit on Google search for "bear stearns hedge fund losses" gives: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/07/bear-stearns-collap....

Quote: <<July 17, 2007—In a letter sent to investors, Bear Stearns Asset Management reported that its Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Fund had lost more than 90% of its value, while the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Enhanced Leveraged Fund had lost virtually all of its investor capital. The larger Structured Credit Fund had around $1 billion, while the Enhanced Leveraged Fund, which was less than a year old, had nearly $600 million in investor capital.>>

After the incident, Bear took the bad assets onto their own balance sheet. Shortly thereafter, creditors starting asking hard questions: "What other crap is on your bloated balance sheet?"

That said, the PRC gov't might allow Evergrande to default on their offshore/external/USD debt, but provide a bailout onshore. That seems realistic. During the 2008 GFC, Deutsche had an enormous footprint in the United States (via commercial and investment banking). They got almost nothing from US Fed/Treasury during bailouts. Same for UBS. Why not? They were not American corporations.

Ask HN: Open-source general-purpose Slack bot template?
Discord and Twitch have pretty active bot communities when it comes to general-purpose and configurable bots:

Discord:

- https://yagpdb.xyz/

- https://carl.gg/

- https://dyno.gg/

- https://mee6.xyz/

Twitch:

- https://nightbot.tv/

- https://moo.bot/

(Most of these aren’t open-source, but they are good examples of configurable/customizable bots, and there are dozens of decent templates on GitHub as well)

Does anyone know of similar projects meant to be used with Slack? If not I'll be building my own, but I wanted to see if anyone here knew of something that I hadn't found yet.

In an ideal world it'd be a repo anyone can clone, swap out some workspace-specific IDs and tokens, deploy to your own Slack workspace, and come with a few basic test commands.
Isn't that a perfect example of Dislike button being used mostly as a meme or to bully / pile-on? Or do you truly believe that video was somehow literally the worst video on Youtube?

In most other websites and contexts anyway, like/dislike is used to share your taste with the algorithm or to the author, and neither of those are disrupted here. The only thing that is disrupted is the tribal action using the dislike button as a way of publicly and anonymously showing hatred towards content.
Well dang, that sucks. Something Awful circa 2003 really shaped my sense of humor as a teen. Photoshop Phriday was something I and all my friends waited for each week.

In my opinion this deserves the black bar.

The problem with this is its a black box of complexity that the user has no control over that effects the usefulness of a product they "own".

People keep giving these examples as ironic reasons for removing the dislike button, but to me, every one of these examples are perfect examples of how the dislike button is used more as a meme or bullying tactic than a real signal anyways.
Not quite. We have a workflow to resolve conflict though. All needed is just git merge, git pull. You need workflow, not git rebase.

So I have never clicked a like nor dislike button on YouTube after they switched from stars to the thumbs. I always wondered who actually puts in the extra few seconds to do so, but I'd guess it's people that have a very strong opinion.

Especially the "Don't forget to smash that like button below" became so much noise that it's getting auto-filtered in my head

This change feels like the next step of positioning YouTube as something like a TV alternative, encouraging more long-form content and series over one-off videos.

When you search for Firefox and it gives you Magic Mouse, a remote cursor app. Because its control panel works on Firefox.

He leaves behind a complicated legacy. It's important to note that credible allegations of domestic abuse lead him to sell SA in the past year, and this can't be set aside.

At the same time, SA's influence on the modern internet can't be understated. The 'image macro' of early SA (maybe created by Lowtax himself, from what Fragmaster says in his video in the link) is the direct ancestor of today's common meme image--impact font text over a silly image, easily accessible to anyone who wants to post it.

Many of today's well-known internet comedians and writers grew up with the site. And it's hard to estimate how big the impact (positive or negative) of things like ADTRW leading to 4chan have been, not to mention things like the rise of Let's Play videos, or the creation and eventual shutdown of BitTorrent Barnyard (and its ensuing spinoffs).

The site itself still remains one of the last vestiges of the old internet--one of the few sites that both survived and managed not sell out and go headlong into monetization--and as a result, is one of the last sites on the modern internet that (maybe ironically) is not entirely awful.

By all accounts, the good things about Something Awful were in spite of Kyanka rather than because of him. He neglected the site for many years before selling it.

He was also a terrible person who serially abused his wives and girlfriends.

His site was very influential (in good and bad ways), but that doesn't mean he is someone we should canonize or mourn.
Would you be ok with history rewriting in feature branch prior to merge? Seems like potentially best of both worlds.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned the domestic abuse allegations. The Something Awful forums almost completely melted down because of that, and it’s certainly left me with a very negative final impression of the man who’s sense of humor I once idolized.
If this is what they use on the website... it needs a LOT more training.

I guess that depends on how detailed the commit messages are and how many changes they have, which will be affected both by the specifics of the project and the people in it.

Consider the following:

[8 files changed] ISSUE-541 added DB migrations and repositories for the new functionality of managing Foos
[2 files changed] ISSUE-541 refactor the DB migrations to do Bar before creating one of the views because of it breaking otherwise due to Baz
[11 files changed] ISSUE-541 refactor old services to use the new Foo functionality, because it should be more consistent than using native queries with complex SQL
[3 files changed] ISSUE-541 fix problems with fetching data in some of the old services, because edge cases were not covered, add unit tests to cover this functionality
[7 files changed] ISSUE-541 add services for managing Foos, though they will only be used in ISSUE-544, add comments about this
[20 files changed] optimize the imports in the Foos package and remove unused code (should automate this later)

And then the following:

[3 files changed] DB migrations
[1 file changed] refactor
[4 files changed] refactor
[1 file changed] fix code, add tests
[2 files changed] services
[6 files changed] formatting

In one of the cases, the changes are larger and therefore more meaningful descriptions of what each commit does are probably a good thing - if the refactoring of code would break anything that wouldn't be immediately apparent but would later be detected, being able to click in the commit in the IDE history and see what exactly was changed as a part of it could be pretty useful!

Whereas in the other case, there are fewer files changed, so the pattern that i've seen emerge is that most people won't care much about detailed commit messages, because of which it is no longer that useful.

Of course, i've also seen people (the majority of my coworkers, though it depends on the company) not really care about commit messages or even making smaller atomic commits at all, thus a feature branch could look like the following:

[28 files changed] ISSUE-541
[11 files changed] refactoring

Then again, the majority of people in my current company also always leave merge request descriptions completely empty and expect you to figure out what the code does by its contents alone in the diff, without providing any context or further considerations. Personally, i'm against this and while i don't want to sour our relationships by nagging about it, personally i always write out a bit of information about what each feature branch accomplishes, as well as even include a few images or GIFs.

That has made my own life much easier when something seemingly breaks 9 months down the line and no one has any idea why, whereas i can just look at the merge request for the offending code and see all of the charts and explanations i need.

Personally, i think that the closer your documentation (of any sort) is to your code, the better the end results.

> The people that make separate higher standards for crypto are ignorant about how the thing they respect works too.

Not really, it's actually the other way around. Whataboutism aside, crypto proponents somehow try to maintain a cognitive dissonance of how crypto is designed to be unregulated and out of government's reach and at the same time show a kneejerk reaction to any comment on how crypto is used to perform transactions not allowed by regulation controlled by governments such as securities fraud and money laundering.
Tell me, have you been following the drastic divergence between the media reporting on the rittenhouse trial and the actual courtroom testimony that has been livestreamed from day one?

I bring this up in particular because it is an especially egregious display what is otherwise typical partisanship - and effectively these outlets have spread misinformation, with sophistry and by lying through omission, such that relying on their collusive reporting on the matter would completely obfuscate the fact that even ignoring the original videos of the incident (conveniently scrubbed from the polite corners of the internet), the prosecution had absolutely no case - not to mention their star witness was shown to have lied repeatedly in his testimony to police, withheld evidence, etc.

Point being that the word "disinformation" at this point is a manufactured buzzword designed to dishonestly suppress dissent - and if your views on any politically charged topic, including the "safe and effective" vaccines, align at all with the consent that these blatantly partisan outlets have been manufacturing, I would urge you to at least consider that you are the one who has been lining up so virtuously behind disinformation. At the very least you are participating in just as severe of an echo chamber as that which you perceive your opposition to be taking part in.

It is actually not straightforward to switch the code. In general, you cannot really just swap out a GUI toolkit, that influences the design of the entire program. If there are good security focused libraries that work here, and there is a reasonable upgrade path for them, then I would expect GNOME to also start migrating towards that too.

I personally wouldn't bet on their desktop, in the past few weeks their developers have made a number technical statements that seem very bizarre and confusing to me, and have openly said they don't really have the manpower to keep up with GNOME.
