Honestly it's always seemed to me that this kind of anti-racism always drives more racism than it eliminates--people don't like being told what not to do/say and buck accordingly. In particular, left-wing identity politics especially in our institutions seems to me to be driving many people toward right-wing identity politics, which causes left-wing people in turn to feel as though we need to commit our institutions more strongly toward identity politics, precipitating the cycle.

Personally, I think any kind of identity politics is abhorrent, but I think those of us who are united in our opposition to right-wing identity politics should recognize that its driver is institutionalized left-wing identity politics and work to de-institutionalize. However, cynically I suspect people on both sides actually like the conflict (addicted to outrage, etc) and are quite happy with the cycle.

That said, as always, my hope is with the next generation--specifically that they'll see the vices of the previous generation and turn from them.
Twilio open sources “serverless-toolkit”
zksync, Optimism, Arbitrum, DyDx, Loopring are all available now, have instant confirmations, and cost <$1 for transactions.

They are layer 2's on top of Ethereum. This is why Visa and other major financial firms are building on Ethereum.
Ah, you are right. I knew that, but had forgotten. Thanks for the correction!
That was true in 2004. Today you get a virtual server for five bucks a month. Feel free to run ANY stack you prefer.
Seems like most new search engines are “bing + some other sources.” Just wondering, does Bing charge for this use?

Personally, in the past month I’ve noticed a significant degradation of results from DDG, and since I don’t know what’s going on I just blame Bing. Because of that, each time we have posts about alternative engines I first check to see if they’re not using Bing. But they all are!
Well, then we clearly just disagree on what the definition of "freedom" is. Mine is aligned basically with the idea as it was first laid down during the French revolution. From the Declaration of the Rights of Man:

> Liberty consists in the freedom to do everything which injures no one else; hence the exercise of the natural rights of each man has no limits except those which assure to the other members of the society the enjoyment of the same rights

One of us should in good faith acquiesce from the term, to avoid overloading it, no? I propose that the existing definition remain, and the practical ability to do stuff be given a new one, say "capability". In other words, the incapable are just as free as the capable.
I'm talking about investing not buying "stuff". Letting someone to make good use of my money to create something and give me some in return.
Except that all those physicists will tell you that they know that the Standard Model is incomplete, and therefore it is in some sense wrong. Religious people won't tell you that about their holy books.
Whichever way you spin it, building web stuff is a perfectly normal thing to do with Python. Thousands of companies do so, even big famous brands like the aforementioned.

To make sure what my point was: any old Lisp Machine software is largely outdated.

The MIT Lispm software is BSD. http://www.heeltoe.com/retro/mit/mit_cadr_lmss.html
It's very old (>40 years) , had never more than a low hundred users. Dead for decades. No Common Lisp. No TCP/IP.

LMI Lispm Software: old, license unclear. TI Lispm software: leaked, uncomplete, no license.

Symbolics Lispm software: partly leaked, no license, owner exists, commercially available. Has a Common Lisp implementation. Best Lispm software. Most development stopped mid 90s. Some updates in the last years, due to a new emulator. Emulator was a commercial product.

Interlisp/Medley: open sourced after a long time being not available. A Common Lisp version which very few people ever used. Emulator was a commercial product. The software is largely written in Interlisp, a Lisp dialect which has been mostly dead for 35 years with almost no users, no libraries, ...

All of these have some very cool technology, but much of it is between 50 and 30 years old.

It's not the Lisp for the 'rest of us', it's for hobby software archeologists, for the few people who have capabilities to update them and for the <100 actual users/developers using them for work.

Isn't it just regular office software? What processes do you have for dealing with spreadsheets and text documents?
Reddit has found a nice in between, I’ve found - of forums and social media.

The best part of finding a forum was finding a very small group of people with the same obscure niche interest as you, and communicating with the community around that.

This is what - say - Twitter, lacks - while Reddit does an okay job at it. :)

Anyone else feel this way?
You don't need to buy more. You need to spend more. There is a big difference between both.

And you can spend more while buying less and help the environment.
i think the problem is that the people that will pay a cent are the people they are making 40$ per month from, and the rest of the MAUs are probably almost worthless

Blockchain for Completely Non-Techies
This was right before/overlapping with the beginning of UI SIDES (now there's a term I haven't thought of in a while)!

For some forms the system actually put all the information from various sources on a digital recreation of the paper form we received and faxed it off. We only did that for the most common forms though.

I learned so much about database schemas and performance, since as I'm sure you've seen you often receive claims just before (or sometimes after) the response was due and if they're a minute late the claim gets paid by default and if the claim is due at 4:30 the HR person will casually log in at 4:28 to upload several documents and fill out a lengthy form.
Well, this study passes the "we dumped a bunch of X on cancer cells in a petri dish and they did a funny thing" red flag test.

Xenographs (implanting human cancer cells into mice) have their own caveats (the immune system is almost always severely compromised), but this seems like a cool study. I'm no expert on oral cancers however.

Curious to see the implication of the neuronal cells here, I'm looking forward to reading the whole manuscript.
Gotta watch out for lead in the water too!
It’s a frequent complaint. I wonder if some people just use search differently and the lack of tracking makes it work worse for them on DDG? I’m in the same boat as you (except for their horrible decision to just ignore what you search and show you almost random results when they don’t get enough/any hits) and rarely ever use !g.
To start with, I'll reiterate that I am not qualified enough here, and you seem to know more than me. :)

Since you asked still, below is my current understanding:

1. Biological evolution itself depends on spreading of genes. So the big picture cannot be an evolutionary path where having more than one partner is less optimal, whether for reasons of STD or otherwise*. Unless it is so bad that had we not picked up on monogamy, the homo sapiens population may have phased out altogether. Most species are continuing to live by nature, do not follow monogamy and are still thriving. May be we have increased our average lifespan by mitigating STD via monogamy practices, while the lifespan of animals continues at the baseline.

* I have read and noted in other comments here that emotional love between men and women lasts for about seven years. I suspect that nature purposely evolved us this way to keep the parents together when the children are very young, and once children are sufficiently grown up, the parents open themselves up to new partners.

2. In the modern times, we are more capable of solving such a challenge than we were in the ancient times. Surely, COVID challenged us, however, we have made it work out overall. (No disrespect intended for the people who have lost loved ones, suffered on health, finances, or otherwise.) If monogamy is to be taken out, more precautions would naturally come in to compensate for a negative impact of STD. We however did not have provisions for such precautions in the ancient times.

3. Likewise, while the progress for vaccines may be slow, that would not have been if we did not have the practice of monogamy. In other words, if we were to redesign things for today, we may have worked the optimal solution to be non-monogamy plus vaccines.

I have more thoughts to write.
> the show still ends up making fun of native Americans.

I disagree that it does.

Also in the link you've provided Seinfeld only says "You could never do that today". You've interpreted that as him conceding that the episode didn't age well. That's a stretch. (To be fair, the title of the article suggests he's admitting it's offensive but there doesn't seem to be anything to back that up).
I am 100% excited by the Fediverse and 0% excited by the Metaverse. Finally we're getting a way out of the walled garden/silo model of social networks pushed by commercial platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Reddit.
If your definition calls the pauper in a society with no rules whatsoever freer than the billionaire in a society with exactly one government-enforced rule, which prohibits unsolicited sales calls after 6:00 PM on Sundays, then it's a broken definition.
> crates.io already requires user accounts from publishers, so it already manages identity.

It currently requires a Github account, but the registry is not tightly coupled to Github. But once you introduce Github identities as something that code is explicitly depending on, now you're at the mercy of Github for the rest of time. Furthermore, immutability is a desirable property of package registries, and Github identities are not immutable; Github allows people to change their usernames and then allows any random person to snap up the old username.

> The only reason they don't require namespaces is to make crate names look cooler and the barrier to entry non-existen, so they can amass large numbers of packages in a short time

No, this is needlessly conspiratorial. Please exercise some perspective. crates.io is run by volunteers, and managing an immutable identity layer is not something that the current crop of volunteers wants to commit to.
Having good people is necessary but not sufficient for good security. In many cases, management isn't even aiming for compliance much less actual security. This is based off of multiple close friends and family in the banking and bank auditing world in the US as well as my own experiences working on financial software (including the relevant regulatory and compliance bodies as well as the many banks who were our customers); can't speak to UK specifically.
I agree it wouldn't be high on the list, but I also imagine there would be practical needs. Like command/control. So, voice only radios first, but some sort of messaging that doesn't need a live listener on the radio would then be a nice next step. And that could be done with a simple computer.
I wonder how much is enterprise revenue albeit the sites are used as personal services.
Interesting article. One thing to note is that this study seemed to (correct me if I'm wrong) focus on palmitic acid, which can be found primarily in palm oil, but can also be found in meat, cheese, and butter, to name a few other sources.
This sounds interesting to me but, for some reason, I'm not understanding what the English would have been laughing about. Were they lying on the certificates? I assume that that's what you mean since they were self-certified but I feel like I might just be missing something here.

And where exactly did I show blind hatred or unwillingness towards a moderate view?

I gave you my arguments why BTC is now just a Ponzi scheme and not a currency or a good legal payment system, while you have not provided any kind arguments to support BTC as a payment system or as a currency and instead just complain that people have a blind hatred and what not.

So I'm all open for a moderated discussion but you need to bring some arguments to the table not just complaints on the participants.
Like a Hackernews for $topic? I've always wanted to see that. Recently someone asked if there is a Hackernews for web3, which would be great! Most of the community here maintain a (healthy) skepticism of web3 and NFTs (many people concluding Ethereum/NFTs are a ponzicoin). With a dedicated forum just for web3, it would filter out all the skeptics and just focus on healthy unbiased discourse.
I often wonder about this with Twitter accounts. How many are already GPT-3 generated?

We'll need another GPT-3 bot to detect the GPT-3 bots.

The only real advantage that I see is that it's where all the people are. The discussions on forums are better than what you get on twitter (even today) and it is easier to find old content.

HN is sort of a cross between a forum and something like twitter. Content moves off the front page pretty quick so it rarely makes sense to reply to a post that is more than a day or so old if you want people to reply to you. Since most forums are relatively slow places you can catch up on things at your leisure and important threads stick around for a long time as people debate things and add to them.

> The idea that the Casa Grande range was developed for the CORONA program is asinine when looking at the timelines of range construction...

People really need to pay more attention to timelines. It's a pretty frequent occurrence that someone posts some pet theory of theirs, with links to support it, but the support evaporates (or is greatly weakened) when you actually look at the dates of their sources (e.g. trying to claim a news source is not credible because they reported then-reasonable speculative estimates in a time of great uncertainty (and were clear about what they were) that were contradicted years later by a more careful scientific study).
Markdown supports HTML (with JS), and HTML/JS is quite powerful. I can make complex computations and drawings with JS libraries, then present them nicely with custom CSS. Some markdown editors supports embedded HTML/JS in preview, which makes them easy to use as IDE. My favorite editor is Marker[0].

I suspect that I can write embedable applications in JS and load them as libraries in Markdown to perform advanced stunts, like in Org mode.

You are depressed. In the following order:

(1) Do aerobic exercise. Ideally a lot of aerobic exercise, like you were training for a marathon. Two hours a day of cardio would be great with maybe 2 days off a week. Don't let that get in the way of doing 30 min or 1 hour, or some serious walking or running.

(2) See your primary care doc. You should get your thyroid checked, maybe some other general workup. Consider a prescription for an SNRI or SSRI antidepressant. For best results you should start with a low dose and follow up with your doc to possibly increase it or try something else.

(3) See a talk therapist. In my area we have a service called "Family & Childrens" which is good quality and takes health insurance but has a long waiting list. Betterhelp doesn't take health insurance but can have you talking to somebody almost immediately online.
Many years ago, I had the idea of using Ruby as a configuration language. It lends itself nicely to representing tree structures and has some convenient features like ranges. It all worked well as long as we stuck to the subset of Ruby I intended.

One day one of the other developers introduced a change to the configuration that had a side effect. It made sense; after all, the configuration is read at startup, so surely it makes sense to put code there that you want to have run at startup? You can imagine my surprise when I made change that read the configuration again after startup.

Configuration should be purely functional and idempotent, with no side effects, or as you say, inert.
If palm oil wasn't as profitable they will just grow the next most profitable thing in the orangutan habitat. The problem is one of not setting aside land for preserves vs one particular industry or another. Anything will expand to fill the space if land is offered for sale and zoned for industry.
Unfortunately, judging by the prevalence of the opposing situation happening in articles (in reputable newspapers too) online, you have essentially been lucky (or never got into a conflict with your therapist).

The odds of someone dying through suicide after a suicide attempt is very small (only 2%), but those odds greatly increase if inpatient treatment is provided, instead of reducing. There is a reason for that, and clearly your experience doesn't provide that reason. The stated reason psychiatrists give for this is that only the very serious cases get committed, but research doesn't back that, and for specific institutions (and you have no control over where you end up) it is definitely not true.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5710249/

Suicide after inpatient treatment in a psychiatric facility is actually getting close to enter the top-10 causes of death. Whilst that doesn't directly contradict what you're saying, it comes pretty close.

In the Netherlands, it is now actually true that more than 50% of suicides happen with psychiatric help, which mostly means getting locked up. Given that less than 1.5% of the population ever gets committed (but rising fast, especially for kids), that's pretty incredible.

And in a bunch of published cases it isn't even the case that people were committed for a suicide attempt, but for an outburst that was then diagnosed, for example as autism. Suicide came, years later, after years of treatment, a progressively worsening situation, and months in isolation in such a facility, in one case with the person locked up without his glasses.
Apple Worker Who Led Protest Movement Is Leaving After Settlement
Hmm, I use Ubuntu for casual non-work stuff on a couple of old laptops, and it's totally fine for that, but the few times I have tried to do work things start to get a little less fine. Even with a clipboard manager, copy and paste is less reliable than on macOS, keyboard shortcuts (and ability to tweak them per-program or OS-wide) are clunkier or just not possible. Of course, I feel the same way when I have to use Windows for anything other than games...
> I always wondered why they had to create their own fork. I had the feeling that this is unecessary maintenance work that they took on and a "not invented here" philosophy.

For the same reason there are hundreds of forks and counting: it is difficult to get the environment you want without rebuilding everything from scratch, and once you do that you have to maintain it.
Is there a Kickstarter for that project? Asking for a friend.
Fair enough.

Edit : LibrOffice is not really complicated but Linux requires some knowledge to be well used. Will people have a training course to survive on Linux ?
Come on now, that is a pretty big stretch. And it's not even true, coreutils and glibc implement a lot of SysV and BSD compatibility. My point here is that GNU as an operating system is dead. People can make up some new goals for it but it seems obvious that the original goals have mostly been a failure. Even if you disregard Hurd and count the "FSF approved" Linux distributions, few people actually use those because most of them are just ordinary Linux distributions but with the only major change being that some proprietary packages and drivers are removed. Is that really adding value to the software ecosystem? I personally wouldn't recommend those to anyone beyond hardcore GNU nerds, for most people I'd still say just use Ubuntu.
