It should probably set off anyone’s scam alarms. Even if it’s something legitimate it’s still incredibly shady in its current incarnation.

At least the Supreme thing uses an established brand to carry some legitimacy. It’s pretty hard to see what these people could have showed the 76ers to convince them this was a worthwhile partner.
Thank you for keeping the lights on for the rest of us. Wishing you a well deserved holiday soon!

China has no free press. Literally none. Hongkong's free press was obliterated shortly after China broke the treaties they had with the UK about keeping Hongkong independent. Try traveling to the areas where Uigurs are being detained to look for yourself if China is lying. You can't and so can't journalists or independent observers. Why is that?

Saying that both are bad and so nobody can be blamed is a bad faith argument.
a) I've never heard anyone say "we're all a little autistic". I think by and large people see autism as a spectrum that you can be on or not.

b) Her idea of how autism is diagnosed is wildly optimistic. It can work for self-diagnosis, ie "no diagnosis", but every psychologist and psychiatrist has a different idea of how to diagnose it. If you don't present repetitive movements, it will likely be very difficult to get a diagnosis.

One of the problems is how the DSM works. To vulgarize, it's a tool to diagnose dysfunctional abnormality. But atypical doesn't mean dysfunctional in the same way as for neurotypical people. And "normal" changes based on culture and context, the very concepts used to describe symptoms will change over time.

I think it's easier for individuals to recognize that they are neurologically atypical, but that's simply not a diagnosis just yet, so they can be misdiagnosed a lot. And there are fads in psychiatry that follow popular culture somewhat, so if yesterday's ADHD is today's autism, the goalposts are moving.

So hey, maybe trying to put a single label on such a complicated spectrum will always be a problem, and we should provide help and resources to people who need it without trying to boil things down to one word.
I think a major selling point of vscode is that it can productively edit anything. Your project happens to include some secondary languages like markdown, yaml or css? No problem. Same for polyglot developers or codebases. This way you never run into the limits of a language-specialised IDE.
So, here’s what that sounds like without the emotional content:

You are a self-diagnosed-autistic person (SDAP). You are upset that other SDAPs are consuming resources intended for ‘actual’ autistic persons. You would prefer to consume those resources yourself. You are trying to get a professional diagnosis as ‘autistic’. You have thus far been unsuccessful.

Are those the facts which you intended to convey?

People tell me I’m autistic all the time. I do not accept this label. I will not agree to the diagnosis, treatment, or aid of any sort. I don’t care if it’s in a book. I call it rationality. I see information where other people see emotions. I realize that this is a deficit in relating to many other people and the world at large. If I were to change one thing to adapt better, it would be stronger recognition and avoidance of emotional people, and closer connection to rationals. Emotional people can be very convincing to get what they want from rationals.
Nitpicking. Even if it were misplaced in a unit test, in order to ensure it's working and that you're not hampered by file/folder/permission problems, then there'd be some sort of automated integration test where it does belong, and the story doesn't change one bit.

lol this is great, I want to have a tech bro in a Tesla deliver my sandwich. I’ll be sure to berate then and treat them as shittily as folks treat delivery workers. So they can experience the shittyness of the product they help create.
This seems like an argument against something I didn't say in the comment you replied to. Maybe I misunderstood you.
You fell just short of the “profound experience line”

You need at least 3.5G to have that. While that may seem intimidating it’s not that much more than 2G, but enough to make your inner consciousness turn up to 11
We were buying exactly same "direct physical link" to HK. It came not to be such.

We connected a fibre tester, and nothing was coming out on hk side. We tried connecting to google.com, and to our surprise this "physical" link was also censored.

Then the cableman basically says, use this link, and VPN over it. The speed was quite good still.
Although interception is not risk free, intercepting MSCHAPv2 does not compromise the credentials.

There is no way to fix that problem because SSIDs are not structured in a way that allows certificates.

Possible fixes would be to allow FQDNs as SSIDs and match these to a certificate, or to require the usercode to contain a domain (like an email address) and verify that. But it’s not in the protocols so that’s a long way off.

> First of all, the reason people view the government using the data as different is that the government has coercive powers (and a monopoly on Violence) that other actors don’t.

But that's not really applicable here because they're not using their "coercive powers" to get the data. They're getting data that anyone else could get by paying enough money.
Never did any type of psychedelics. You don't read much about "death by misadventure" associated with them though. I'm curious about this.

Alcohol, for example, is pretty famous for clouding judgement, reducing inhibition, and so on. Such that otherwise rational people drive intoxicated, get into fights, fall asleep in inappropriate places, fall off of and into things, etc.

Psychedelics obviously cause you to hallucinate. So why don't I hear about more accidents? Does they seem to leave your common sense, judgement, etc, in place?
Anyone who puts anything on the web is at the same risk. For example, ask Google how old Queen Elizabeth is [1]. Google tells you the answer in a big font at the top of the result page. Google sourced the answer apparently from usnews.com but you didn't even have to click the usnews link. Google "took" the answer from them and deprived that website of a click.

So yeah, you are donating your work to Google when you put it on a publicly accessible web site.

> But still, I cannot believe that people who are supposedly scientists start quoting the bible when they are themselves involved in maybe one of the greatest scientific achievements of our time. How does that resolve?

It may be confusing because of the attitude toward empirical science of some prominent strains of American fundamentalism (and the way the media often reduces that to a narrative of a fundamental religion vs. science conflict), but having religious belief about the metaphysical nature of reality and pursuing scientific understanding of its physical nature have often been things that go together. I mean, consider Georges Lemaître.
>> Perhaps people don’t want public health agencies tracking their movement?

Sure, nobody wants the government to track their movements. But lots of people are perfectly happy with government doing practical contact tracing of covid patients. The only difference is wording. Personally, I very much want to know if I the guy sitting beside me on that flight/bus was carrying omicron. If that means a government agency occasionally looks though cellphone records, so be it. I actually trust my government to do such things.

Unlike Americans, Canadians generally give their government much more credit in these areas. A Canadian generally trusts that such information isn't going to be handed over to police without good cause. And they know that the police have better things to be doing that tracking people for petty offences. And even if caught for some crime, Canadians aren't subject to the US prison industry. At each layer their is a greater level of trust in government. The net effect is that these stories don't really bother much of anyone.
If you're attached to your copyright: 0-clause BSD is a thing that exists[0]. Toybox uses it.

If you want to throw your copyright out the window: The commonly accepted solution seems to be CC-0[1], which tries very hard to disclaim rights and limit liability in as many jurisdictions as possible, complete with a fallback license grant for failed public domain dedications. Because CC-0 makes some people uncomfortable despite the lengths it goes to reach its goals, some projects work with dual-licensing to cover the other side, such as Monocypher.

Neither of them address patents. If patents are something you want to/need to address, you could perhaps paste the patent clause from BSD-2-Clause-Patent onto 0-clause BSD.

Nice. More random unprovable FUD. Fake it till you make it eh? Laughing all the way to the bank.
No amount of safety system will save you in a 60mph crash.
To add to this great advice, if you feel lazy to start, get a good audio book and listen as you walk. It becomes a kind of reward for going for a walk, you get a chapter or two of a great book.
Thank you sandworm101!

> And the North would never had existed without USSR and China’s backing.

False. Did you know the Viet Minh initially counted with support from the US? When it was an anti Japanese struggle, of course. Initial US assessments even thought the French should get the fuck out; those sentiments were overruled by others in the US, sadly.

The Vietnamese struggle was a struggle of national liberation. Aided from the outside like all resistance organizations, sure -- like the French resistance against the Nazis was. Didn't make France any less real. Imagine if the Allies had partitioned France in two after the war, claimed the last Nazi held parts were to be ruled by Germany's successors or whatever, and that the ensuing fight to reunify France was "a civil war" and that the free (non German) France was "just as artificial".

> I’m not sure what your point is?

That the US sided with colonial powers and against an independence movement. Not their finest hour.

> How much “free will” do the Vietnamese have today?

More than they would have had had the US backed dictatorship won.

Not that it matters: it's not for you to decide. There's no White Man's Burden to send civilization to other countries. Let them have their self determination and arrange their governments how they like.

Above all, don't murder them by the thousands, destroy the countryside and poison their land when you don't like the government they choose.
I ate 8g of dried shrooms a few days ago. Once things really got going, I spent the time mostly in the dark at home focusing on whatever came to me. The intentions I set were for ego death of some kind. Much of it was spent grieving childhood trauma and the state of the world, most of which was done while singing, snorting, making other mouth noises, laughing, crying, or some combination of those. Yesterday, I realized I have preverbal trauma and most people probably do, too. Sharing this with the person I'm partnering with, who went on a mushroom journey a few weeks ago to address their own preverbal trauma, seemed to open the door for them to soften toward me. We've been going through rough times, as she slipped into a PTSD episode upon getting pregnant, it's still going on, and how she acts when triggering into her trauma matches patterns of my own trauma, so we've had a difficult time over the past 3.5 years. I haven't been very compassionate/empathetic in how I receive her and often feel confused about what to do or say. Today, that wasn't the case. We both received each other graciously (and let it go quickly when we didn't), freely offered and accepted hugs, and created a lovely little Christmas scene for the child, as well as started collaboratively designing content for santaisdeadlonglivesanta.net.

These are profound and immediate changes in my life. I look forward to what mushrooms have to further teach me.

Oh, I also had the realization that ego death doesn't need to be this cataclysmic, big, scary, break from reality thing done with eyes literally closed and that if I already carry a cosmic identity, dissolving into the cosmos provides insight that can come from reflecting on being the cosmos.

If you've read this far, do yourself a favor, look up CPTSD and preverbal trauma, and check to see if there's something you went through when little that's still alive and getting in your way.
It can be quite tough to get out of your seat on sufficient mushrooms, which limits many possibilities of misadventures.
They copied a copyrighted work in a way that was not permitted by the copyright holder.

Thanks for keeping it real so the rest of us can get drunk and fatter. Hope you can get some time to relax your mind later on!
Behind every big battle or war there is always a motivation to gain market access. This was true for ww1 and ww2 and I wouldn't be surprised it is true in these legal battles.

Wouldnt be surprised that tencent actually was the key player that pushed epic to open source their unreal engine so that the US can't block the unreal engine code base from being exported to China.

Most people can't learn anything and they don't want to. It is impossible to explain what living in a slum is like to a middle class woke guy.
Yeah, I used to laugh at the gluten intolerance epidemic. Then as an experiment I cut it from my diet. I was not at all intolerant, I just wanted to try it.

I could not believe the difference. For example, I never realized that some foods made me tired. Now when I eat breads or pastas, I notice i am tired afterwards (not immediately but after a time).

Very strange.
I think you just explained the cause of inflation :)
I've also read this book, but unfortunately I found that whenever the authors talk about things beyond their immediate research - it gets bad.

The good parts are the descriptions of their research and discussion of the findings as far as it directly interacts with their research. Fortunately you don't have to read the whole book to get to the good parts. There is a 40 minute presentation/talk on YouTube that covers the good parts. [1] This talk is what originally got me to read the book.

The bad parts are where the authors take their AI algorithm quirks and jump to insane conclusions, going as far as to claim that setting goals for your own life is a bad idea. The fundamental misstep that the authors take is that they conflate goals with measurement of goals. They keep giving examples of naive ways one could measure progress towards goals - basically the functions they write for their AI program. These functions suck. Instead of just admiting that the functions they wrote suck, the authors conclude that one shouldn't have goals at all, because they couldn't come up with a good way to measure progress.

> You could use Xlib to program a client in pure X11

Xlib is actually not very pure X11; Xlib makes a lot of things synchronous whereas X11 is really an asynchronous messaging distributed systems protocol that happens to output to the screen as a side effect. Xcb is a much closer to the actual protocol library.

IMHO, a lot of early hate for X11 was really hate at Xlib; but as Xlib was the official library, it was understandable to get them confused.
I'd want a better reason before shelling out personally. Apart from security, other issues are:

- performance. Obviously that depends on the circumstances but if you are working on a function that is used in many places you don't know the circumstances.

- error handling and reporting. Are you going to capture stderr from mkdir? If this fails can you provide a clear indication of the problem to the caller?

- paths. If you run mkdir without specifying an absolute path your program may fail if $path is not what you expect. That can also be a vulnerability.

- dependencies. Now you won't run in a distroless container or other cut down environment

- you lose type safety

Not saying "never shell out" but I've been burned by most of these so I am cautious about it.
> Of course Ho Chi Minh would win - there were no free elections in the North (100% of votes went for him!) and substantial support in the South. I wouldn’t call that a fair and free election.

False.

The US own internal documents stated they believed Ho Chi Minh held enormous popular support, especially in the countryside.

They cancelled the elections and instead propped up a bloody dictatorship. Nothing natural about the South, it was completely artificial, incompetent, and repressive.
In Zygmunt Bauman's Modernity and the Holocaust[1] it is argued that the Holocaust was not merely a tragic aberration of the ideals of modern Western civilisation but rather a logical realisation of it. Hitler himself, in both Mein Kampf, and Zweites Buch, wrote of how he was inspired by British concentration camps in South Africa. Maybe I haven't studied history enough, but I simply do not understand how dismissing the terrors of WW2 as merely a German problem is not also appeasing, condoning and enabling the terrors of the British. The Holocaust lies at the feet of Europeans, not merely the Nazis.

The problem isn't about who did what, the problem is the idea that horrors can only possibly happen outside the borders of the nation to which I belong.

Hey thanks for this, super nice gesture. Some of the stories posted really touched me.

I am alone too, but to be completely honest, I actually am kind of relieved. The holidays were always a stressful time for me, our family dynamic is not very good and now after 2 years, everyone is drifting apart, and it's kind of a relief.

I am going to be doing a little virtual celebration and chatting online with a couple of friends but other than that, no stressful travel, no stressful family gatherings, no listening to racist right-wing rants from ignorant relatives, no rushing around to get ready for the holidays.

Actually, I am kind of digging this.
I didn't think leased lines were affordable to anyone outside of megacorps like IBM or top-tier research institutions. Negotiating with local service providers for cheap rates in the early 90s sounds plausible, but I can't say for sure.

What gymnastics would you have performed if the systemic oppression of Uyghurs had been in my list? Another sin largely ignored by the echo chamber, yet one that certainly does single out a minority.

Unpopular opinion: Hard times will come again, and masculine men will again become sexy.

There is a constant battle between dominator/partnership societal subgroups (a distinction by Riane Eisler in Chalice and the Blade) which one naively could distinguish as patriarchal-masculine / matriarchal-feminine. The abundance of resources the past decades has rendered the traditional, masculine and competitive men obsolete, and women have shifted their focus in more feminised versions.

But as history has repeatedly shown, periods of prosperity always come to an end, and the wheel keeps turning.
Isn't this caused by a general oversimplification of autism to mean "difficulty handling social situations"? I feel that autism is being thrown around as a description of this specific, limited set of traits that do not align with its formal definition.

And as with everything, if some word is being used for some thing other than it's original definition, it will start to lose meaning (or gain meaning depending on how you look at it).
I'd take it a step further.

Instead of forcing people to fabricate various illnesses to get performance enhancing medications, just make it over the counter.

Antidepressants, over the counter.

Anti-anxiety drugs, over the counter.

In what way has the Chinese government destroyed Chinese tech. The big tech companies are still there just more regulated. They are also still innovating.

The Chinese government does actually know the difference between real productive forces and the stock market. It would be really weird for a socialist government to not know the theoretic works of Marx, lenin and stalin.
