Integrating IE with the OS and componentizing it was not a business blunder -- it was an enormous business success for Microsoft. It made the Web available from any application -- something all browsers do in one form or another today -- and IE was -- by far -- the best of all the browsers available on the market at the time except for maybe Opera. That's why it succeeded, not because of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. The alternatives were shit.

Yeah, JS is trying to be too many things to too many uses.
A huge number of people are now paid to work full time on the cryptography, networking, and distributed systems challenges of creating decentralized tech, and open sourcing most of their work. This is paid for by cryptocurrency siphoning off a tiny sliver of transaction volume from the opaque, cronyist, closed source traditional financial system.

You want to go back to the old days where decentralized technologies were mostly created as a cute hobby by engineers getting rich off surveillance technology, or by phd students studying to get a job getting rich off surveillance technology?
Some of these are so cool, I'd use them today.

This is actually a high quality quote from Blades of Glory, a high quality film. Apt reference either way, though.

You completely ignore the fact that the user has to understand they are being tracked.

I don't know of a single survey that demonstrates end users understand they are under constant surveillance. Can you point to one? Otherwise this argument seems like a complete distraction.
You can implement some version of that as long as you have dynamic scope. For simplicity let's just use pseudocode with globals:

# By default Yield throws an exception
global Yield = function(n) {throw n};

def example() = {
var produce = true;
var n = 0;
while (produce) {
produce = Yield(n)
n = n + 1
}
println("done")
}

# Temporarily set the global Yield to be a different function
with(Yield = function(n) {
println(n);
return n < 3;}) {
example();
}

Where algebraic effects typically differ is that the handler receives a continuation. Potentially you could do more with that than just resume. You could for example store that continuation and build coroutines that way. That makes them essentially the same as delimited continuations. That's something that Common Lisp does not support.

I'm not sure how that works in Effekt though. Since there seems to be a 'resume' keyword they might not be as powerful as delimited continuations.
Just so you now: using it will require an email.

Unfortunately, it will only tell you that after sending you through a ~3 minute setup process, asking for system permissions and installing a background helper.
The environmental standards have a more tangible benefit and can have a pseudo-national effect given the size of California's market, so I'm not critical of that aspect. Slapping warning labels on everything without changing it feels like a waste of time, at least if you're not selective enough to make them useful to consumers.

Good idea. Now just to persuade someone to use this too.

Super happy you're offering a direct APK download. That's how all android apps should be available.
You severely overestimate what the user will do. Android has these tools built-in, but they are hardly used.

It's similar to how crappy drivers causing BSODs were for a large part responsible for the "Windows is a crappy unstable mess" sentiment of the late 90's and 00's [1]. This led to Microsoft severely restricting driver manufacturers, requiring signing and WHQL etc. Less freedom but stability and perception among users has markedly improved.

(Apologies if this is too much a personal anecdote for HN)
Honestly, this is one of the indicators that forces my distrust of the modern family of social discourse. My own suspicions have a specific conversation in 2012 spooking a few hundred people (online), who lashed out with such odd phrasing that it spread contagiously to whoever they met... And formed the chimera movement we see now.

...I might outright have an alternate history of the entire '10s "Culture War". Or I might have gone paranoid. Of course I can't prove any of it. I'd love an answer to your first question myself.
I'm glad there was a summary, but less happy about the contents of the summary. Seems the author misunderstands the core idea behind NFTs and blockchains in general. As a disclaimer: I'm generally pro-cryptocurrencies but I see zero value in today's uses of NFTs, seems mostly to be about moving funds around in a opaque way.

Here is the summary they included in their post:

> NFTs don’t prove ownership — ordinary legal contracts are just as good, and in fact better since they are heavily regulated and can be taken to courts for a central resolution when problems arise

> Blockchains (which NFTs rely on) are in the best case no more secure than ‘normal’ relational database storage systems, and in most cases are less secure

> Cryptocurrencies have no innate value and are only useful as a pyramid scheme, something big crypto influencers are knowingly using to profit from those who don’t realise it

> Both cryptocurrencies and NFTs cause high environmental damage, and there are no viable systems to deal with this problem due to security considerations

No one claims NFT proves ownership of entities outside of the used blockchain. But within the chosen blockchain, they do prove ownership of that particular NFT. That's a fact.

Saying that blockchains are less secure than a relational database storage points towards not understanding immutable ledgers with shared state at all. They both have different use cases, that much should be obvious if you understand the basics of both blockchain and relational databases.

Things that people value has value. That value is decided by what people think the value is. I don't understand art, especially not "high-art", but somehow people value it, that's fine by me, people like different things. But then I agree, cryptocurrency "influencers" are horrible. Follow the people developing the software instead, those are real and honest people (mostly).

And finally: no, cryptocurrencies and NFTs doesn't cause "high environmental damage" as those are concepts, not implementations. One implementation of consensus that is used in cryptocurrencies is Proof of Work, that is harmful to the environment, at least current implementations. There are other implementations of consensus, like Proof of Stake, or Pure Proof of Stake, who have their own drawbacks but have almost no environmental impact (compared to Proof of Work).
> > We collected cross-sectional data between November 2019 and July 2020 from self-selected respondents recruited via media related to psychedelic use such as podcasts and online psychedelic research conference presentations.

> This is already a significant bias in participants.

In my experience, these pro-psychedelic conferences and associated discussion venues have already concluded that microdosing is a positive, to the point that they’re actively hostile to any information to the contrary.

Psychedelic forums and even threads on HN and Reddit can be extremely hostile to anyone arriving with negative anecdotes about their personal microdosing experiences. When people report negative effects there’s a rush to blame them for dosing too high or too low, or for having counterfeit substances, or any other number of easy outs to dismiss the negative anecdotes. There’s almost no room for discussion of people who aren’t convinced that microdosing is a positive.
Crushed is a relative term of course, but in the last 10-15 years the value of many NBA franchises has gone up 10x due to rise in international viewers, mostly coming out of China. This is something other leagues (most prominently NFL) have not been able to replicate.
Ask HN: Best cars without too much digitalization?
As we all know, there is a trend in the automotive industry towards ever more digital "features" in cars. Many of these software systems pose privacy risks; many others simply don't work as intended, leading to frustration and trips to the dealership. For those of us who are "old-school" and prefer their cars without fancy digital gimmicks, which cars would you recommend?
Thanks, that's helpful. I did consider that the grips et al don't have agents, but the few actors I know in LA -- modestly successful people you would probably not have heard of -- all have agents.

My understanding is that the agent makes 10% of everything you get, because most agent contracts are exclusive. Agent puts me on Dune 2, agent gets 10% of my pay; I get on Dune 3 because they loved me so much in Dune 2, agent still gets 10% because our contract says she does, unless I fire her in time, which carries reputational risk.

I wonder, do people have agents on soap operas, which are probably the closest analogy to corporate software, i.e. projects that go on potentially forever and have some people spending their entire careers working on them?

(I had a neighbor who was a soap producer, but not in the US, so not a good source of info for this.)
Remove "drunk" from that tweet and the opposite point is made: why must we demand that a thing is all bad or all good?

Edit: not sure why this is being downvoted. I am not defending NFTs, just saying that a comparison to something clearly wrong like drunk driving needs to be established with more evidence than hyperlinking dril.
> Citizens, or groups of citizens (eg. corporations) engaging with their representatives is part of the democratic process.

That's the pretty way to present it.

In practice, "Citizens, or groups of citizens" is true but unfortunately vague, sort of similar to "Mammals, or groups of mammals, are known to sometimes build buildings out of prefabricated concrete."

Lobbying is a heavily professionalized activity, mostly undertaken by specialist lawyers employed full-time for the job.
> the only RDP client that worked at all being so horrifically out of date that it can't understand modern RDP authentication mechanisms.

Do you mean rdesktop? Indeed it's pretty old and probably should be disabled, so I just did that.

Did FreeRDP not work, then? It seems we had a 3-year-old version, so I just spent the morning updating it to the very latest (2.4.1). Seems to work fine here for me, I connected to a remote Windows machine successfully. (The port is missing a bunch of features, but the basics seem to work.)

In the future you can report issues to HaikuPorts directly, or feel free to ping me on IRC/Matrix/XMPP.
This works for some people, but I've found that this requires a level of self-discipline that a lot of people (including myself) don't have.

And more fundamentally, I'd say there's a difference because Pony changes not just how you personally receive messages but also the kind of messages that people send to you. Having that extra time and structure, and knowing that your correspondent does too, can make a qualitative difference.

How do they become journalists? Straight out of high school? Or there are non-university shorter courses they need to take?

I always thought that you even had to take an oauth to be a journalist, as the impact of the profession can affect the public opinion and therefore comes with a good amount of responsibility. To think someone without any qualifications can just start writing for credible news outlets seems quite scary to me.
> It's factual to say they settled, it's not to say it proves anything.

So you agree that the article had a factual statement backed by a factual source then. Thanks.

Your previous statements are demonstrably incorrect and you've resorted to goalpost-shifting. "oh sure that was a factual statement backed by a factual citation, but that fact doesn't mean anything!!"

Please consider that facts you don't like aren't "opinion", they're just facts you don't like.

For real though, I know I'm repeating myself, but I honestly don't know how to make this any clearer for you to understand.
They usually have both a flat-rate transition fee, and some spread they take on top of whatever open market exchange rate would otherwise be.

For small transactions, you can have things like a $29 fee, for a $500 transaction, where the spread is also taking a 1% cut. You also can find $2.99 transactions. It depends on the source of funds and destination. Also if you are doing something like using a credit card as the source of funds, you might get cash-advance fees (and much worse interest rates).

Both run 15.1. But apparently iOS vs iPadOS have differences.
Compromise is when no one gets what they want. Corporations ostensibly don't get unfettered access to your data, and you have to navigate those pop ups.

Of course, thanks to dark patterns and more importantly regulations with no teeth, the corporations usually get their way in the end.

We're dealing with pop ups either way, so I'm not too annoyed with the current status quo, but yeah, it would be great if regulations could exist that just said no with real consequences for non compliance.
Right. Are doctors ubermensch who are the cream of the crop or did they just have a high tolerance for abuse? I’m not sure being ultra-selective gets you people who are fundamentally better doctors nor are the returns gonna be very linear even if they were. I’d much rather have enough well-rested doctors than have more “select” but highly stressed, sleep deprived doctors.

lol maybe today on a friday afternoon i do haha :)

but in general the conversations are getting exhausting and distracting. I feel like it is at a point where we will just keep building the things we find useful for ourselves and our communities, maybe others will join in.

hopefully he people with such extreme anti-crypto views recognise that we are human; we'll try and we'll fail and maybe we'll make some cool stuff too. maybe they dont share the same values and maybe theyre scared of what might happen, but the continual insults and accusations of everyone being scammers/scammed because we linked some metadata with some signatures is absurd and weird.

if theyre so worried about culture and society maybe they should take a moment to think of what energy they are putting out into the world and if its at all healthy.

If I crack your Bitcoin keys, your money is mine. Nobody is going to restore your property.

If I hack into a bank or rob you at an ATM, police will come and get me, and the judicial system will put me in jail.

Crypto is stateless. Lawless. You can't own math. You just have a solution to a problem that you haven't shared with anyone.

And if someone with compute resources cared, they'd take it away from you.
Have you ever hung out with someone who has taken recreational dose LSD several times per week for months?

I know two people who did this, and they both got very weird and ended up putting themselves in dangerous situations from their questionable judgement, years after they stopped even. One flipped his car while drunk and tripping and got seriously injured, but he made serious lifestyle changes. Months later he had a psychotic break and got arrested naked in the street. He is mostly better however he is still a shell of his former self. The other ended up getting addicted to heroin and overdosed several years later. Could just be selection bias and clustering of risky behaviors, but I believe the LSD played some role (possibly related to an interaction between LSD and SSRIs).

I think there are a lot of potential therapeutic benefits that should be studied, but clandestine microdosing is still risky as its practically impossible dose accurately and many people who think they are microdosing are taking doses that exceed the perceptual threshold because they don't think it's working if they don't feel it. Taking 5mcg LSD 3x week is probably mostly safe. Taking 40mcg once a quarter is also probably mostly safe. Taking an unknown 10-40 mcg 3x week seems like it could be entering the danger zone.

(Please learn about volumetric dosing if you're considering microdosing - it at least allows consistency. Fractions of blotter are inherently inconsistent because blotter concentration is not homogenous.)

Since others are having mixed results with the rendering of the image in mobile Safari, I wonder if the differences are due to hardware decoding.

My Mac has a I7-9750H (Coffee Lake) processor with an AMD Radeon Pro 5300M.

The image does render on my iPhone with an Apple A14 Bionic processor. The 2020 iPad Air (4th gen) also has this processor.

If "2020 iPad" means iPad 10.2" 8th Gen, that has an A12 Bionic processor.

If the image doesn't render on an Apple mobile device, maybe it's one with an older processor?
For those not following the release notes `"editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled": true` is a new option in VSCode (since September's release) after the team saw how common extensions like Indent Rainbow and Bracket Pair Colorizer 2 were and how many complaints were out there about how slow they were, so they decided to add it as a built in feature that can reuse the same processes as the core indent guides. Also a lot of interesting work went into optimizing the algorithms at work: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2021/09/29/bracket-pair-...

An interesting case of the team watching the extensions ecosystem for ideas to make the core product better.
> You can't just say "add more doctors" as if that helps anything.

Why wouldn't it?

There are more than enough people who would want to become a doctor, and would be capable. Especially if the work/life balance would be better. At least in my part of the world, it seems that the system is rigged to keep the number of docters artificially low.
I think it's foolish to think that acid doesn't induce psychosis. But perhaps you need better evidence.

That's not to say that microdosing can't be useful. But I think it's possibly quite dangerous for some people. My evidence of that is knowing people who have done too much acid, and meeting plenty of street people in Haight-Ashbury who do acid.

It's also very disingenuous for the title to say that 70% of the volume in the top crypto exchanges is wash trading when the 70% category they define are the least popular exchanges (they rank worse than 960 on the finance section of similarweb).

Well, if you're a company that manufactures a product that can be used for spying on people, and you want to make clear that the intended use isn't for spying on people, then I guess you need to ask how badly you want to make clear that it's not a technology for spying on people.
