Fast forward to today, and we now know that Facebook and other social media are encouraging narcissistic behavior, because narcissists are easy to manipulate: They are highly likely to have multiple addictions, they are easy to emotionally provoke, have nearly no ability to moderate there own behavior, and they take any attack on there beliefs as a persona attack, and will hate there attacker forever, becoming flying monkeys.

I highly encourage everyone to watch the documovie: The Social Dilemma.

Is this Cable specifically for connection to go from EUR to JAP without going through China?

I am wondering if this is made possible only because of the melting ice cap, where the "possibility" of travelling through the arctic is now a low cost issue. I am also assuming once the cable are laid, it doesn't make much of a difference whether the surface is Artic or Pacific? I am assuming the sea floor is roughly all the same.

And why aren't Greenland better connected? The only immediate upside I see is the Iceland Connection. Considering they have possibly the Greenest Datacenter on the planet. ( I do wonder how do they protect against Earthquake ? )

Taking in a generic T: Read is the recommended way to accept streaming inputs. It is up to the user whether they want to buffer or not. You can pass in a BufReader into a T: Read no problem, and it will buffer any reads. That the reads internally are buffered is an implementation detail serde_json has no business knowing about.

The converse is potentially disastrous - if you read too much from a TCP stream you could hang your program waiting for more input that never comes.

I have no idea what you mean. I believe (and at least I was hoping that) my comment was helpful.
I looked up the core values of Turkey. And their debt to gdp ratio is 40%. Neighboring Greece is 200%. The Turkish economy was the second fastest growing economy last year in the G20 and is on pace to be the one of the fastest growing economies this year. Turkey has had record exports and been one of the most successful in tourism both last year and this year helping the current account deficit. Yet bankrupt Greece can borrow at almost 1% interest rate with over 200% debt-to-GDP ratio. Meanwhile there is an unofficial blockade on international lending to Turkey from the US and its cluster of allies/subjects. That is the real story of the attack on the currency and the financial system. The US did the same to Chile by undermining its economy and killing its financial system before staging a coup (Obama attempt to kill Erdogan and stage a coup in Turkey failed in 2016):

Just a question: would it have been a good idea for a Turkish person, say, a year ago, to invest in stable coins to prevent suffering from Lira depreciation?

It's only wrong to "wait until the last second to merge" when that line is going extremely slowly or is fully stopped. Most of the time there is a line of cars moving along at 70% of the road speed before an exit, because there is some "leader of men" going slowly in preparation for the exit (or not!), with plenty of room in front of them. In this case you're helping everyone by passing that line and using the road capacity they're wasting.

I've been doing something with dash as the recipient delimiter since the late 1990s and it's been great. But that became a pain when I wanted to switch to hosted email, as many providers wouldn't support it.

So if you're one of the minority of parents smart enough to import a calendar into their google (or other) calendar, they can get the game schedule there, but the less competent (to put it nicely) can continue to get a stream of emails or even plain old text messages of upcoming games. Or they could join a FB group or a different platform.

Or there's people out there whom could never handle installing or using slack, but if you could spam them text messages maybe they could still participate, or even participate fully.

Nobody wants to work in IT, especially not for free.

We went thru an internet era, then a social era, then the era of notifications, and I have a gut feeling the next era is going to be something like smooth automatic operations across semi-hostile deeply silo'd platforms, but it'll have a cooler name. FB wants to replace the internet with FB, but literally nobody else wants that, repeat for all platforms, meanwhile you get 5 users together somehow you'll get 6 preferred platforms, the next era will be anti-vendor lockin. People old as me will remember when Ma Bell provided both your phone service and your physical phone and times were better post-divestment and that's probably how we're going to look at the past once we're beyond the era of the social media silo.

> I don’t think you’re wrong, but is society better off when wrong-doing is exposed and not condemned or when it is hidden but broadly condemned?

the third option: broadly exposed, and also condemned. there’s no reason that increased exposure has to decrease condemnation. in many cases, it transforms condemnation into a more insightful view: as society has had increasingly honest views into addiction, we understand it better and are able to replace the “addicts are bad people” myth with a proper understanding of behavior and human psychology. every person knows that they’re taking a risk when using oxycontin for an extended period of time and can take the necessary precautions as a result. this wasn’t true when we covered the whole complex truth with a blanket. the blanket only ever slowed us down in our effort to understand and address the real problems.

One big concern is that Erdoğan will likely hold on to power however he can. He's already circumvented the constitution (and changed electoral law). I believe he will fight to maintain his reign if necessary. He has about 50% of the country behind him, and as far as I can tell the allegiance is based on religious principles, which makes it a strong allegiance indeed.
How feasible is a repair mission without the shuttle?
I agree with basically all of the article. But I have a probably-misguided idea for better comments: Change text editors so that they don't put comments in dark grey (which for most of us, is on a black background)!

Why does my text editor think that, e.g., a function call should be blue and keyword arguments to it should be bright orange, but a comment should blend in to the background? Have them be bright green or something! If something merits a comment, it should be the most visually important thing in that block. At least that'll make bad (pointless, redundant, or outdated) comments stand out enough to annoy people.

If anyone knows how to make Sublime Text do this I'll give them a big virtual hug. :)

What is the forest here (asking genuinely)? Language usage ergonomics?

I think it's fine like this, because most of the time the language makes it easy to wrap/convert a writer into a buffered writer and use that instead.

Also, it preserves the principle of least surprise. If I call write on a Writer, I expect it to write immediately. When I want it to be buffered, I would either look for it in the stdlib (and in Rust's case expect to find it) or look for a lib (sans implementing it)

I invest in Brazilian government bonds. Most tag along inflation, which is at a record high right now. My yearly net is around 13% (I no longer live there so inflation isn't too big a concern, although it affects exchange rates but that is another discussion).
Those numbers are completely obsolete; the final price tag was over $10B.
And from my point of view as someone in the field, arguments on either side are almost always based on an intuitive gut feeling about morality.

Very few people actually try to wrangle with putting numbers on the cost (in dollars) of a human life, or the economic burden of disease. There are no right or wrong numbers, but only if you begin there can you say you're rationally considering the economic or political tradeoffs.

Edit: and deaths could absolutely reach zero. If we threw everything and the kitchen sink at the problem, we would eradicate it in absolutely no time. The underlying question is the same here, namely whether the cost of eradicating the disease would be larger or smaller than what we would gain from doing it.

> Okay, I've accidentally put a pointer type into an interface, now what? How do I check that the inner value is nil/not nil? Mmmmm?

What does this even mean? If you did it by accident it sounds like a bug in your program, so fix the bug so a nil can’t be passed into the interface. If it’s not a bug but nil is a valid value, then type-assert the interface back to the concrete pointer type and check it against nil.

> It's a defect in the language, plain and simple: if a pointer-to-type implements interface, then converting a nil pointer to type to the interface should result in a nil interface value (that would compare equal to nil) instead of a non-nil interface value that has nil value pointer inside it — which is a second kind of nil in anything but name.

No, this would be a bug because a nil pointer and a nil interface mean different things.

> You compare it to nil, it says "not nil", then you try to use it and it blows up with panic "I am actually a nil, gotcha sucker".

You have the same behavior in any language with nullable references including Java, Python, C, etc. You’re complaining ultimately because you don’t understand references. In this case you have a reference type (the interface) whose value is itself a reference type and you’re upset because checking the outer reference for nil doesn’t also evaluate the inner reference; however, no mainstream language works this way and this would be very surprising behavior to people who actually understand references.

"The QHL is not depicted as being able to move itself; it is moved passively around its environment by riding on humans, air currents, etc. However, at least a bit of mobility is implied by the presence of a magnetic actuator and by the QHL’s ability to create a gritty surface on a switch."

The way I imagined this while reading the book was that the sensors are ubiquitous, so it's not about making them move so much as selecting the sensors in a specific area to view imagery from or enable grit attraction on.

Were it not that I’m paying for several other people’s Spotify accounts via family sharing I would have switched to Apple Music by now.)

It feels weirdly like people saying "this is all too complicated, only experts can handle it" which is giving up a lot of agency. Almost like "Big Tech" is shadow writing pieces to discourage you from trying to escape their grasp :-).

Running your own email server and domain, for people who like systems, is fun. Just like people who do their own oil changes and car maintenance, or people who build their own furniture, etc.

Interestingly enough, this suggests there are some startup opportunities for folks who want to make this stuff a bit easier. Three things I think would be interesting side projects would be 'spam killing' (Barracuda does this as a service for Enterprise, I bet you could do it in clever ways for individuals), "post office" which is a known good relay server with mail agents that you can forward your mail through (think Lets Encrypt but for mail delivery), and a remote access client for phones. Alternatively an AWS offering of a packaged mail server (think WPEngine but for mail) has possibilities as well.

> Python will turn off line buffering when it detects it's not talking to a tty

Okay, I’ve been running into a bug in one of my Rust programs and I think this comment has the answer. My program uses a Command [0] to listen to stdin and stdout. Theoretically that Command should terminate when the parent process dies, but if the Command is a Python script that doesn’t include a `print()` with `flush=True`, it doesn’t die. I think you might have found my problem for me.

Ask HN: Is it unethical to clone a popular app and release it as open source?
I recreated a popular Mac utility app to learn more about Swift, I don't want to sell it and I'm just thinking of releasing it for free along with the code. It would be nice to have a small open source project under my belt and I could meet new people that want to contribute.

But I feel bad for the original developer, since he's just an indie dev and not some big company. Just wondering what's the community opinion on this.
I think, it's a purely economical thing. Most large businesses in Russia are owned by people affiliated in one or other way with the current leadership (Vladimir Putin and friends). This has been gradually achieved by "raiding" independent Russian companies - making their business model unviable by selectively applying laws or threatening to jail original owners, and then buying them for a fraction of the cost.

Now that they have deployed and tested the infrastructure to block arbitrary Internet traffic (that started a few years ago under a guise of combating pedophilia), they will use it to transfer the market share from companies not owned by the "group of friends" to their Russian equivalents.

In other words, they want Google to exit the Russian market, because its market share will then go to Yandex and Mail.ru, owned by the "right" people. And if Google doesn't do it voluntarily, they will just block it like they blocked LinkedIn [0].
