This is not true, You contain just as much if not more value from building the graph of people who communicate with each other then knowing the contents of their communication.

But I think what they're trying to say is because signal prevents any user from being able to use the signal app with servers they the user control. You're stuck with trusting the people running the servers because they say they won't do anything wrong. The whole reason you say the client is what matters is because it's something the user doesn't need to trust somebody else won't do something wrong. if I can build my own client and validate myself The security doesn't depend on blindly trusting somebody else because they say it's safe to do so.

A well designed encrypted protocol doesn't depend on blind trust in some service. The main signal app requires blind trust in the servers they control.

What prevents a repeat of the Articles of Confederation? It was supposed to be exactly this kind of setup, but the federal government didn't have any authority to enforce the states providing funds, and the states tried to avoid their responsibilities so someone else would pay for it. This resulted in the federal army not having the funds it needed to do its job.

And once the federal government got the power to ensure it could fund itself, it has bit by bit expanded until it completely dominates the states.

How do anarchists propose to ensure the central military force is able to, at the same time, ensure cooperation by its members, and also can not come to dominate them?

Yes this is my third and final attempt at posting the page. I liked the "resulting" idea a lot and think it's right up HN's alley. There is no rule against re-posting [1] although I understand it's a delicate act to not do it too much and spam the rest of the community with links they've seen before.

It's the word's definition, it's language that matters here. If I say every musician is a virtuoso, it cheapens the playing of Hiromi, Chick Corea, and Coltrane. If I say every athlete is a superstar, it cheapens the label for Lebron and Giannis. If we say someone who repurposes wooden furniture is a genius, it cheapens the monumental feat of Einstein publishing multiple Nobel-worthy articles while writing in evenings after getting home from clerking at a patent office.

The definition of genius is not "resourceful" or "creative", it must indicate a profound mind who greatly improved human society through their intellect.

We shouldn't use terms like genius to drive content to our blogs, unless the word is warranted. That is why I believe it's click bait.

All this eulogy for an abusive bully.

Among the many "innovations", there was a feature where he would link to a website that he thought was worthy of ridicule. Often mentioning directly that it had a guest book to sign in.

So a horde of bullies would descend on that website, fill the book and any forums with goatse porn and email the same. Some of the victims shut down their websites, their complaints posted to SA so people could laugh at them.

Brigading and "cancelling"... Yes, some of the humor was funny, but the site was a cesspool that festered into the chans. Let's Play is good, but the worst of the Internet was fostered here as well.

The best part was when he was tricked into a boxing match with Uwe Boll, which didn't work out well for him.
Good luck finding a single person who would complain if all pauses and accelerations of their loading bar were indicators of a network problem. That's exactly what people think progress bars are, rather than cartoons to distract you while you wait.
Monorepos are much easier for everyone to use, and are the only natural way to manage code for any project. You keep talking about Google, but a much more famous monorepo is Linux itself. Perhaps Linus Torvalds has fallen into Google's hype?

The fact that git is very poor at scaling monorepos might mean that it's a bad idea to use git for larger organizations, not that it's a bad idea to use monorepos. If git can be improved to work with monorepos, all the better.
I use both. Flatpaks usually slightly faster for desktop apps, and snaps can do what flatpaks can’t- entire stack of technologies inside a single snap (nextcloud server for example). The main benefit of both for consumers is general availability of fresh software no mater what distro you’re using and additional security for the price of slightly less performance and additional storage space.
It frankly doesn’t matter if it’s an excuse no one has a say in a persons beliefs.

Theres also a lot more legal background than meets the eye. For instance, the sanctity of bodily autonomy falls under that umbrella. Meaning, you can object to literally anything going into your body for any reason, even if that’s just “I want the autonomy to do so — my body is my temple and I don’t want xxx inside as I want to be pure blood” literally what ever.

There’s a lot of legal precedent to that. Now that only means you need “reasonable accommodations” which could be testing, masks, w.e. Depending on what’s being challenged.

Historically, only ~1% objected to vaccines, but given the push a lot more people have done research and are concerned. I know many people who are now entirely anti-vaccine after reviewing data, others who are more bullish than ever. At the end of the day though...

We have never had a mandate barring people from exercise facilities, restaurants, etc based on vaccines. Even the historic attempts have had mixed results and the Supreme Court cases only covered minor fines ($5 in 1920 kinda deal).

This is far more extreme than a historic context. And for reference only schools have really mandated vaccines and they’re required by law to have exemptions, which courts have ruled can generally not be questioned all that thoroughly.
I swapped motherboards recently. Despite /specifically/ getting a Microsoft account, thinking that it would link my account to my licenses and allow for seamless transfer, it seems I need to call into microsoft for them to re-activate my install. So first off, fuck you Microsoft.

Unless I'm misunderstanding their online shop (which annoyingly requires a login to view) shows replacement cables of 75 foot or 150 foot length (for $60 and $85 respectively). The gen 1 dish had a 100 foot cable that wasn't made to be (easily) user replaceable.

Is anybody storing non-text files in S3 for their software? I'm referring to pdf, video, audio, images, etc.

If so, it would mean the world if I could talk to you and just ask about some of your experience with uploading/retrieving these files within your software.

To give context: I have a free managed API that offers full-text-search for your S3 bucket to integrate into your software. The website is https://mixpeek.com

I feel like there is a distinction between tools and no code and these are just tools. You can maybe prototype a game mechanic if it’s not very unique with drag and drop but it’ll never scale to production. By the end the game code will have thousands of special cases which would make the nice no code experience a complete Frankenstein monster

> That said, there's absolutely no reason to structure your code in a monorepo.

Bullshit. There are very good reasons to use it in some situations. My company is using it and it's a tremendous productivity boon. And Git works perfectly fine for smaller scales.

Obviously, "because Google does it" is a terrible reason. But it's disingenuous to say that's the only reason people are doing it. Not everyone is a moron.
That actually seems like some low hanging fruit to go on a commit spree correcting code that hard codes paths

Not really?

I mean, this is probably a subset of "I don't have anything to hide, so why do I care about privacy?" But I just went to California on vacation, and, sure, I'll tell the CIA all about it if they want to know.

And I'm one of the people who understands why privacy is important. (Or maybe, based on my previous paragraph, you'll conclude that I'm not, I just think I am.)

I don't know. It just... doesn't feel that intrusive, for some reason. Maybe because for international travel, I already have to use my passport, so they already know. (Yes, maybe it's a different "they"...) Maybe because there's already a "do not fly" list, so somebody's hitting that database every time I try to book a flight, and it wouldn't be that hard for them to log the queries against it. I don't know. But as I said, at least to me, this one doesn't feel that intrusive... and I can't really rationally explain why.

Maybe it's arrogance to assume that most people are no more paranoid than I am. But I think that means that most people probably aren't going to avoid booking.com because of this.

From Google – Take action: Understand the impact of new legislation on your biz
I received the email at the bottom of this post from Google this morning (I'm a Google Workspace Customer in the US).

It struck me as odd they'd reach out to me directly about proposed legislation, and frankly made me feel a bit awkward.

Anyone else get this email? Have they done this before? This isn't a normal thing for mega-corporations to do, right?

Dear Mathgorges,

Right now, Congress is considering regulations that would have unintended consequences for your business – costing you time and money.

If passed, these bills could disrupt many of the digital tools you rely on every day – including Google Ads and Analytics, Gmail and Docs, and your business listing on Google Search and Maps. These changes could make it harder for customers to find your business and could hurt your productivity.

If you're interested in learning more about these bills, their impact on your business, and what you can do about it, we invite you to sign up to stay informed.

Stay Informed [1]

By clicking this button I consent that Google can contact me about legislative and regulatory issues, events, and advocacy opportunities related to my business.

Google's public policy team is working with members of Congress to share concerns about how these bills could impact businesses like yours. Together, we can be an important voice in the policy conversation about the regulations that affect you - and your business.

Thank you,

Phabricator is like that, kind of a git repo host that comes with an opinionated command line tool that crafts your commits for you.

Personally, as someone familiar with git I didn't like the abstraction layer on top. However, it's a nice self hosted alternative to something like GitHub
I wasn’t aware of that, oddly since I am familiar (if only slightly) with the Fiat 127.

Thanks!
Probably not “screwed” at all really. From a professional point of view anyway, since many of the practical things you’ll learn may not match industry expectations by the time you graduate.

What is concerning is this “visceral hatred” for the curriculum. You’d be well served by exploring why that is the case! Ask around, what are graduates of your program up to these days? Say 1, 5, 10 years after graduation. Search around on LinkedIn to get some idea.

I know the disgruntled genius trope is popular on HN, but it is extremely rare irl. What is common irl, however, are delusional undergraduates that feel the faculty at their school is holding them back from a life of fast cars and never ending excitement!

If OP thinks college is somehow eroding some former joy in mathematics than I have no idea how jumping straight to some job will help? Could it be that reality is just not meeting some unrealistic expectations expectations?

If I were this student’s faculty advisor I would spend a lot of time talking to them about this. In my experience this sounds like the tip of a very large iceberg that may require some counseling and intervention.

I've used lots of 'note' apps but ended up with 2 parts that work for me
1. A physical notebook for quick capture
2. A single markdown document which I search through or edit with Vim

I have simple vim macro that prints today's date bound to a key. This makes it easy to write notes for that day. It's worked well for the last few years

You're still going to get covid. "More dangerous than flu" is only true for some and not others. I've had the flu twice and each time ended up in the ER. It just depends. We are very clear about who's at risk from covid but half the world can't seem to process it, their brains blew a fuse with all the fear mongering.

I cannot agree at all.

Free markets are distinctive in that the economic freedom of all participants is maximized, regulation is minimized.

These markets, by definition are not fair due to inevitable outcomes where a few winners essentially rule and can exploit their favorable position in ways that prevent competition.

The single most valuable idea in markets is the idea of competition. Where it is robust and meaningful, a solid case can be made for buyers getting very high value for the dollar.

Having that condition be true means reducing economic freedom to a degree so competition cannot be avoided.

The idea of a free market runs in conflict with it being fair, and even more importantly, a market that serves us, not us being enslaved and exploited by it.

Insuring robust competition requires regulation and increasing regulation as well as reducing economic freedom mean fair markets are simply not free ones.

In addition to that, the idea of governing being markets is not universally applicable.

Government, and the Civic needs of the population are not the same as business, and running everything the same as business, actually does more harm than good in the areas of our society that are not appropriate for markets.

This article is not very convincing. I mean sure, the thing about coffee was over the top, but they also stopped requiring that one.

I think it's going to be a long time and many many launches of Starship before a human is put on it, at least for launch or reentry. Having a reliable separate launch system in Falcon 9/Dragon gives SpaceX a ton of flexibility in terms of launch/reentry on a relatively proven system, with transfer to orbital Starship for Moon/Mars as necessary.
I've gone back and forth on the ideal platform over time. I loved the feel of iPad/pencil but it was too closed a system. I'm currently using a Galaxy Note with the pen for mobile and emacs/org on laptop. I type faster and more legibly than I write but you need that paper and pencil type feel for capturing thoughts IMO.

BTW @genghisjahn given your tool usage I'd love to get your thoughts on BrainTool (which I've been pimping throughout this thread!) Since most of my inflow and things I need to keep track of come via browser and most of my notes are in orgmode text, BrainTool is the thing I built to bridge the two. I'm hoping its a more generally useful lightweight organizational tool which doesn't require the maintenance of other solutions and have been gathering informed feedback wherever I can.
I ride in rain and the only part that I don’t like is my face getting pelted, but the rest of me stays dry with the right clothing.

I admittedly do go camping in snow and whatnot but I find the biggest barrier people have to doing these things is not knowing the equipment that you can bring to make it nice.
The worst part is actually probably mitigating rust IMO.
Awesome news! Having worked with frontend frameworks for years, I've grown pessimistic about them in general, but I'm enthusiastic about Svelte because it does so many things right that actually avoid a lot of the issues other frameworks claim to solve but actually make worse.

Interacting with the Svelte compiler is ridiculously easy. Though the documentation can be improved, I found it trivial to import the Svelte compiler and prerender a component into an HTML string. Yes, this is somewhat of a niche thing to do, but I appreciate it when libraries and frameworks make it easy to access its internals. Heck, I pretty easily managed to implement Typescript support for Svelte components using Deno's `emit` function; hooking into Svelte's preprocessing was trivial, the complexity I ran into being on the Deno side.

Contrast that with Ember, which seems to have an attitude of "no one would or should ever want to do that", making it really hard to do anything slightly off the beaten path without lots of trial and error or entering the Ember inner-circle.

Yes, I know I'm comparing a component library to a framework, but what I'm commenting on is more about development philosophy.

It's good to hear the creator of Svelte will be able to dedicate his time to it and be able to provide project guidance. I think he has the right vision for what Svelte should be.

I think parent is referring to the useless Prop 65 warnings that are plastered on everything. They're so ubiquitous as to be completely meaningless. No sense of scale or relative risk. The coffee carries the same warning as the jug of pesticide you spray on your fruit trees. Same warning is on an Ethernet cable as is on a can of paint.

The risk posed by these different items varies wildly, but they're all treated the same from a warning label perspective. And once you realize benign items get the label, you start to ignore it wherever you see it.

What California did for air quality is fantastic. I'm proud of my state for its leadership on that and related things. But that doesn't excuse the failure of Prop 65 warnings. They're worse than just "silly". They dilute real warnings and cause people to ignore the whole lot.
I might be wrong about this - I have a history of sometimes not always understanding technology before I discard it. However, I briefly used Multipass but switched back to Vagrant. To me, it was a new tech that did the same as the old tech only with the usual new tech adoption muck ups.

However, I might be wrong. Maybe I just missed the point of it?
You sound really reasonable, so I recommend talking to him, maybe in less absolute terms if he'll still get it, and tell him things like "please spray paint outside" and "please design for aesthetics as well as functionality if the object will not be temporary", or whatever other types of solutions make sense to you. Some kind of compromise.

Or, my real recommendation--search for a new perspective, because you're so close already. Enjoy his objects, celebrate those that work well, and let him keep contributing to his family.

Good luck!
