Back then people just didn’t take the kind of edgelording the OP is talking about seriously. When you saw a Nazi white supremacist following the left hand path and quoting Michael Acquino you rolled your eyes for the most part.

Same goes for wacky conspiracy stuff in the 90s. It felt (and mostly was) harmless and full of in jokes going back to discordianism and such fnord.

It was before absolutely every popular sentiment, subculture, belief system, religion, ideology, etc. had been politically weaponized by big data driven propaganda farms in the employ of political parties and nation states.

We thought the media was “controlling us” back then. We had no idea how much worse it would get.

I thought of a good summary of our condition today: “culture is a dark forest.” Any idea or culture that shows itself will be detected and invaded by the all seeing eye of the data driven propaganda machine.

I really think the future is private enclaves, closed forums, etc. with strict rules to try to keep out not just trolls and idiots but more importantly bots. We are living in the twilight of the open Internet, at least as a medium of any kind of meaningful communication. All that will be left on the “clearnet” is a social media influencer hustle culture driven hellscape where half the participants are bots anyway.

Oh, that is interesting.

I always thought I'm a misfit, but I'm plain vanilla evil.
Mostly harmless, getting the skeletons out of peoples closets and putting them in their fridge or arrange them on their sofas, so to speak.

Back then I thought I do it to help truth coming to light.
Giving a hint to get better.
But I realized, I do it to scare them and have fun watching them.

Nah, just kidding, really.

So, how did you learn about yourself being a misanthrope?
Direly needed credibility ? Not sure when what you’re describing happened. NFTs are in every major art auction house, major world art exhibit (Venice, Basel, etc)

In the art world NFTs are now ubiquitous.
Next step: Adele gets Spotify to play only Top 40 hits over and over, except on College Spotify.

Times have changed. If you want an album to be played in order, number your song titles or something.

Why take control away from the user?
Indeed. I was going to make full circle via Italy and France and Holland etc. But got a bad cut to my chin in Italy and took the train and ferry home with face taped up.
Pandemic is a cute word for fascist takeover of earths free people. Following orders = gallows.
Also going unmentioned is the classic car battery logic.

The thieves steal a car component not necessarily because they want that one but because they now know where they can find a brand new one to take next week
This is a shame but technical solutions are possible and being worked on. A quick verification can also be done in any of the major markets to determine the art is being sold by the artists, which is something I always do.
There's loads of interesting comments and opinions in this thread, many of which are true.

What it boils down to though is simple - corporate greed and regulatory capture.
My number one beef with streaming services is the difficulty of listening to full albums.

I hate giving corrections, and this is a severe word misunderstanding, so I feel it's better to inform rather than leave it. I mean no disrespect by posting this, I intend only to inform and/or educate.
My story is quite similar. I was always confused that I needed to be with people yet it drained me so much. The focus on observing my energy, as the article highlights, helped me figure things out. Somebody who figured this out about me before I did called me an "introverted people person". That seemed like an oxymoron to me, but it turns out it's exactly right!

I was in a very social role at work (managing managers) and decided I needed to be an engineer again, partly because the social nature of the job was so draining. The only thing that kept me going in management was one-on-ones with certain people who gave me energy. That helped me realize that I'm quite social when I'm with one other person that I know well and enjoy. It's groups and relative strangers that drain me. Since figuring this out, almost all my social engagements are with one friend at a time. It's so nice to consistently get energy from my social life now!
I've been doing infosec since I was 10. That's why I know a teenager can rip apart billion dollar companies. Just take a look at the audience of any 2600 or Defcon meetup. 90% of these people were tearing shit up since they were a kid. In fact, I was a better hacker when I was younger, because I had more time to experiment and learn new things. I know this all comes as a surprise to a bootcamp or C.S grad, but you are not representative.

As I recall, shuffle used to be pretty prominent on album pages. I think it's good to downrank it because personally I almost never want to shuffle an album, and sometimes I would hit it by accident. I kind of wonder if this is a change that had been considering making to improve user experience but Adelle's tweets just gave them the impetus they needed to actually launch the change.
Why communists and Nazis would be equivalent is an interesting question all by itself. We've had a communist party (some vestige of which still remains today) here in NL.

I remember the ox carts (and more frequently, horse drawn carts) from only a bit over a decade ago in the poorer parts of Romania (anything outside the major cities). The 'Communist Party Youth Club Card' is probably a collectible now :)

Thank you for the unique story, pity the thief made of with your camera, stealing from a hospital has to be a moral low.
It works because people are using it. Every problem you can list has a technical solution that is actively being worked on already.
Good or bad this shows how much influence major labels have over Spotify.

Can you imagine YouTube bringing back dislikes for MKBHD?
Bit pedantic tbh, but I'm gald for it.
I'm always confused and anoyed by the shuffle. it's magically turned on somehow and I'm always confused as to why and how.

Now let me remove podcasts from my home screen. Also stop lying about what I've listened too. I have never and will never listen 'Happy Hits'. ktnxbye
Not so much a guide to increasing energy than a guide to draining it less (by identifying which social situations feel draining and having less of them). Not bad advice, per se, but not exactly earth shattering.
Who talked about crypto? Not me. Tezos which is widely used for NFTs has barely any price volatility (in comparison to the rest of the crypto market).
There are quite a few resources about the web, Microsoft and Apple also have their own documentation.

Nothing can ever beat the accessibility of a fully native UI, written with whatever toolkit is most popular on a given operating system. Yes, this means you need multiple completely different UIs, 1Password 7 style.

If you want to go cross platform and still be accessible, go with Electron. There's a lot of material written already on how to make web apps accessible, and that's basically what Electron is. Chromium's accessibility is top notch on Windows and Mac OS and pretty good on Linux (if you turn on a flag).

If, for whatever reason, you're not allowed to use Electron, QT and WX widgets also work, though there are certain controls that don't work that well on certain platforms, so you might need some really terrible workarounds. Same for Swing, which still requires enabling Java Access Bridge if I'm not mistaken.

I think the worst offender is GTK, it's pretty accessible on Linux, but completely inaccessible on anything else. The GTK developers have been promising changes in that regard for years, but I haven't seen those changes yet.

Custom toolkits, SDL based libraries and immediate mode GUIs are a complete no go. The operating system needs to know what kind of controls you have on the screen for a screen reader to work, but "draw a bunch of pixels here" is definitely not enough information, and that's what you get from those. You can implement each platform's accessibility APIs yourself, but that requires intimate knowledge of the platform internals (think COM on Windows) and is often poorly documented (there's almost no documentation for the Mac APIs). If you want to go that route, it's much easier to just go with 3 separate GUIs.

There's some ongoing work to change that state of things[1], but it's far from complete.

I agree it's not a useful comparison. That's why I don't give much weight to statements such as "Java comes on top in every individual category of all the benchmarks".
Proof of stake is a decentralized consensus mechanism that is (usually) trustless, and prevents attacks like double spending.

Most notably, Solana, Cardano, Polkadot, Avalanche, Terra, Algorand, Polygon, Elrond, and Fantom are all using permissionless networks where nodes which have some amount of the native token of those blockchains staked produce blocks and validate transactions
Depends on the crypto asset.
For the nth time the Myers-Briggs test is bogus, there's no scientific evidence that it works!
Can't you just save the songs to a playlist and then shuffle that?

Yes, art is made to be broken (down). Agreed. But in this case, the art is starting as the artist - and Adele is an Artist - intends. An artist is not obligated to make the breakdown easy.
+1 for Stadia. The catalogue is getting better, with indie and AAA games alike ( probably thanks to Google's generous subsidies, but it's a chicken and egg problem - without games there won't be customers, but without customers there won't be games, so good on Google for actually trying). A hardware refresh to keep up with the competition might be a good idea soon, and of course more games, but it's generally a good platform.
Poor governance is more accurately the reason

Right, this one has, a lot of other public or runtime-internal Try* methods have not.

And even tho this particular one has existed for a long time, that doesn't mean it was used consistently in the runtime or in the popular first and third party frameworks.

I'd argue the Try*-style, while artifacts of it were present before already, only really became widely idiomatic with dotnetcore.
It’s wishful thinking to think that NFTs haven’t solved a problem considering tens of thousands of artists are using it and it’s changed a significant amount of lives in the space.

It’s getting to the point where saying “NFTs don’t work” is like saying “ebooks aren’t real books”. It’s just a philosophical position that ignores reality.
You are buying access to listen to her music on one service. How it is presented to you is their choice. Netflix decides with it's content partners how they want to show you content while Amazon does it slightly different. Same here.

If you want that choice buy the album or download it.

This is hw why not create a new frontend that presents the songs the way you want.
How safe, audited and non-invasive is .net core by now? There's a .net program I have a VM for and that's kind of a pain. Since .net had telemetry by default, running bare on my machines was never an option, and Mono wouldn't even work.
Building a Forth could tighter your edit-test cycle.
Yeh honestly being an SWE at FB just killed my soul (in part) because the job became so fixated on quantitative measures and experimentation...what we cannot measure cannot be important, surely....! :/ I think the only PMs/ICs who survive at FB are those who are either numbed or not aware of data fallacies like Campbell's Law.
Depends on your definition of major.
For a company to become a unicorn it usually takes 7 years (not sure on the number but it keeps changing). So many companies formed in 2015,16...+ aren't there still. Looking in Linkedin for Rails jobs there are a lot, not all of them are old companies.
Gitlab is a very famous name(2014) but it too IPO'ed so it's not a startup anymore.
I think that, depending on circumstances, it _can_ be trivial to prove in court. Examples:

- If the contributor can prove they checked that specific mailbox during the period involved (for example from logs, or because the git repo of their system config shows they ran a cron script checking it)

- If the contributor can have a few others state in court that they received other messages sent from that account around the time that must have come from them.

- if the contributor mailed a few friends saying they contributed to LLVM, giving some details of the changes.

I would expect courts to accept either as enough evidence.
But users can do even less with non-free software than they can with copyleft software, so calling the latter "tyranny" while simultaneously being okay with the former makes no sense at all.
You mean, they're going to rob the same car? That takes some balls, because the probability of getting some high-velocity, unprecious metal in the head will increase tremendously in the next week. I guess it depends on the neighborhood.
Sure. Every Dell server's iDRAC and every Oracle's ILOM has this functionality.
Sounds like the first Leisure Suit Larry to me.
Why would it matter if it was their job or not? My friend has been doing circuitry since he was a kid. He can run circles around me doing embedded while I can run circles around him when it comes to software. Our jobs are irrelevant, it's our initial interests that caused us to specialize. United, we build awesome stuff together. There's no reason to feel bad when people with different interests have way better skills in their specialties. Instead of feeling bad, form alliances and make awesome stuff together.
The last thing people in cities want are Dunning-Kruger addled rural yokels coming in with their racism, sexism, and ignorance.

Because this wouldn't benefit voters in big cities. As a general rule, political units don't do things that are totally disconnected from the wellbeing of the people who control the leadership. That doesn't mean cities always behave optimally in the interest of their constituents, but you won't see too much in the way of making arbitrary investments that are completely disconnected and actually against the interests of city dwellers.
I can't pay my rent in US dollars, that doesn't make them worthless.

Although, to be fair, I did pay a security deposit in bitcoin 6 years ago.

Actually, in El Salvador, Bitcoin is now the national currency, so I suspect a lot of people are paying their rent in bitcoin
It says as much in the friendly article:

Introversion and extroversion are also a spectrum rather than binary.

(They even bolded it.)
I was wondering how much overlap the two technologies have too.

What I'd really like to see supported is a way for a web app to specify a public key and a version number, and for the browser to then prompt you every subsequent time you access that page if the key or version number has changed. This would effectively allow web apps to use the same security model as desktop apps, i.e. TOFU.

Arguably, though, auto-updating desktop apps are less secure than even TOFU, but I don't know users can be expected to judge whether v1.2.3 is more secure than v1.2.2, so perhaps the prompt doesn't provide any practical benefit.
I love this. Not my type of music but this confirms to me this music is art, not the typical pop drivel to be consumed in tiny, disjointed packets of “shininess”. Respect.
These guys are fast. They can saw off your cat while you're inside the gas station buying a drink.
I recently bought a house and found two catalytic converters in the garage. I'm hoping I can scrap them pretty easily, as I don't want to just throw them out.

It's clear they aren't cut off, as all the flanges are present and intact, so hopefully I don't get flagged for anything. (The previous owner is a car guy, removed them from one of his cars, and left them behind.)
Not being offensive...

Because that's the difference between a "pop star" / "rock star" and an artist.

The former is market driven. The latter driven by (creative) self.

In this case the artist has an ideal about how her creativity must be communicated in order to understand the work.

Madonna? For example, doesn't care as long as the money keeps rolling in :)
Why would need to? Is there a shortage of people , warehouse and developers, not applying despite hearing about the culture?
In the U.S, big cities are dealing with a huge housing crisis. There aren't enough residential units for all its residents. You would have to fix that crisis (neighborhoods and politicians banning high rises, etc.) before that could be done

What would actually make sense, if you want to continue your idea. Is for cities to buy said towns, take over the zoning, build 1000 x 50 floor buildings and export people from the big cities to the towns. This would be more similar to what happened in China in the last decade or so

Cities are busting at the seams, we need people to leave, not come in
> It is closer to a “what is the best you can do” benchmark

As I suspected. So of course this tells us very little about how fast idiomatic code is relative to other languages. "The best I can do" is to invoke hand optimised assembly language, but rarely is that the right choice.

A much more useful test would involve benchmarking some similar real world apps that solve the same problem.
Any way to sort this list by activity in some way? Seems kinda hard to figure out where to check out first.
HN majority has a strong communist bias so anything that challenges their communist doctrine is vehemently attacked or censored.

> The amount of precious metals in a catalytic converter varies widely, but a standard part might contain: At current market value, that’s an average of $595 to $1,420 worth of precious metals.

> Victims often have to shell out $500 to $3k+ to fix the damage.

Their estimates for the value of the precious metals seems high. It also doesn’t make sense that their floor for the value of the precious metals is $595 but the floor for the replacement cost of an entire catalytic converter is $500.
Catalytic converters are also stolen for making the drug _bombé_: https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/new-drug-in-the-d...
> I think in reality it is better to acknowledge that - like many things - introversion/extroversion is a broad scale with many shades of grey, and your personal position on the scale can and does change from situation to situation.

"Everything is shades of grey" seems a lot less helpful than a nice binary option that actually renders a judgement.
Using mc admin speedtest to detect cluster performance on MinIO
I've heard this kind of commentary a lot, but I still believe it's much more of a case of "people not wanting to have kids and then giving climate change as the reason" than climate change actually being the deciding factor in not having kids. I think in most cases it's more akin to virtue signaling.

The modern world, especially in the US, is quite unfriendly to having kids. Both parents have lots of other opportunities that having children may conflict with, and having children can be horrendously expensive depending on your child rearing style. Given that, if you're subconsciously thinking "I don't want to have kids, it's just too hard", it comes across as "more virtuous" if, instead of giving the reason as you want to be more selfish with your time and money, that you want to protect a potential child from having to go through a future hellish environment.
Nice explanation! I wonder whether there are any generalizations of the remainder Chinese theorem to account for “noise” in the remainders (I.e. approximately correct residues), given redundancy of an overdetermined system. It’s easy to think about noise robustness if adding a little bit of noise changes the answer by a little, but with congruences, changing the residue by one can make the answer jump around all over the place!
Advent of Code is fun! I have done it every year since the start. I have previously used C++, Rust, Racket, F# and a smattering of Factor and SML.

I'm vacillating between doing it in C# and Javascript/Typescript this year. C# has gotten more attractive lately as there are improvement that makes it less ceremonious for short programs, like toplevel statements and global imports, and also fun optimizations for ricers.
If I do it in JS/TS I would do it in a web environment, and try to do it with a nice web GUI.
HTTPS does not mean that a message came from the particular server you assume it does. For example, most CDNs will be acting just like a MITM in order to operate.

Having a separate signature that can verify the HTTP _content_ is from the origin server, regardless if it gets re-encrypted by other services en route, is probably useful.
Great visualization of climate change metrics. Like the idea and the implementation.
The Charity-Industrial Complex
> but no one in a small town looks at NYC or SF and thinks it’s a successful, nice place to live.

The kids do, which is why these places suffer from massive brain/youth drain. The kids are bored in the small towns and see their future in a more exciting big city. Sometimes they are disillusioned and come back, often they don’t.
But also, CBT has pretty good evidence base for things that are supposedly purely physical, because of course nothing is either purely physical or psychological. Everything is a complicated mix of both.

There's no evidence that she was misdiagnosed. There's some evidence that she holds deeply stigmatizing discriminatory attitudes around mental health.
At least the way I had spotify set up on my devices „shuffle“ was the default play-option on albums, i.e. pressing the play-button on an album page would start at a random song in shuffle order. I just tested it and I can get the same behaviour as i had before with 3 extra clicks, not too bad.
It's funny how the habits I built during the era of CDs and cable television serve me better now in 2021 than they did five years ago. All my music is stored locally on my phone and I listen to it however I want. The TV shows and movies I like are similarly archived on my desktop and I consume them in any manner I please. I have content that isn't available anywhere else on earth aside from other archivists, having long been removed from even the most obscure host or tracker.
You know some ms product manager thought they were "winning" when they included Jupyter notebook.
It's also way to easy for thieves to get quick money for almost any metal object at scrapyards.

Yeah, I am not crazy. I know him a lot longer than this show. But I learned this from the show (I do not care much about the subject as unions are kind of normal here so as an employer I don't care either way) and looked up a few points which seem true. I should have added a ? At the end.

Is it not true? That it is illegal to fire but that the repercussions are almost nothing for the company?

I see they are trying to make far harsher laws against this in some articles but for now it seems a mess no?
