My understanding is that he was somewhat involved and also approved of the Encyclopedia. My interpretation is that his objections to it weren't really objections so much as making clear that he wouldn't be bound by anything in it; and that this is being used to re-write history and make it sound like he disliked the Encyclopedia.

Exactly. It doesn't really matter what a couple of hacks have to say about it.
This article got me thinking: what would an anti-NFT but still open source license look like? Is that even possible to do?
Hey than3, I think
IggleSniggle's comment[1] about "not reading what they wrote" was replying to Shadonototra's comment[2], not yours. So "they" is you; IggleSniggle is questioning whether Shadonototra read your comment.

> Yo, student loan rates are like 7%.

Yo, only parent and graduate loans are close to that, of federal loans (private loans are another issue, and also probably involve an unaccredited institution that doesn't qualify for federal loans):

I sympathise with your aggravation but they're balancing doing that while not trying to migrate the existing user base too early and keeping supporting people with production workloads.

Fundamentally they've 'lucked' into a 'nice problem to have' type situation here, and I get how annoying it is - I was freenode staff during a period where the irc<->matrix bridging was unexpectedly popular enough to be a 'nice problem to have' for everybody involved and the author of the blog post we're discussing probably remembers some sharp words on my part during the process - but frankly on balance I'm mostly impressed.
And they're almost universally strongly preferred over custom collections, yeah. I very much doubt that's coincidence.
a town that runs it's own automated ride share would be my suburban near-sci-fi go to.

personally i love cities & biking, but a safe, coordinated, available, municipal, semi-personal/pooled or personal ride hail system operated as a not-for-profit utility would be such a neat virtue, such a way to make the distance not count for as much.
If I get banned/downvoted for this, so be it. But I cannot image a more naive or less aware position.

This site is incredibly censored. Their mod system is very gamed with people who know how to build up credit and downvote en masse.

Whether or not the founders support this behavior, it exists. There is a nasty, nasty f-in power culture that censors people along a political power axis these days. You cannot understand YC/HN without understanding this puritanical (left-wing) culture that has burrowed its way into VC backed companies.

Web3 will be to Twitter et al. what Bitcoin is to the dollar. Expressing ides as plenty easy on Twitter, so these balkanized services will only be used for hate speech, organizing criminal activities, and CP. Legitimate use will be limited to ultra hardcore libertarians and true believers. Unlike Bitcoin, there isn't an appreciating asset headline to get the attention of regular people, so won't even have the legitimacy halo Bitcoin benefits from.

Kanazawa’s Empty Spaces
When the internet became fast enough for streaming services to be a practical alternative to cable, the surge of people dropping cable and landlines to keep only internet service were called "cord-cutters." It turned out, despite its seeming dominance, tons of people hated cable and rushed to abandon it the moment they had any other option.

My question isn't whether the same thing will happen for car ownership, or even when, but what we're all going to call the people who do it.
It is starting to look like the reason Omicron appears to be less severe is because so much of the populace around the world has been infected with some form of covid already, and with reinfections complication rates are far lower. If that is the case China’s successful control of previous strains will become a devastating liability with this strain.
Not anymore, unprivileged user namespaces make it so you don't have to do that. That's how podman's "rootless containers" are able to work.
For what it’s worth, this is just my personal intuition — I’m not an expert in any of the relevant fields.
Ask HN: How do you inspect JSON logs?
TLDR if you don't want to stick around for my ramble: if you have experience inspecting JSON logs, what's your workflow?

I'm working on a project of a very small scale where monitoring is important. I'm biased to just stick with text files and SSH rather than log software (such as ELK stack or Grafana Loki), so as to not have to learn/install/maintain a heavy tool for my toy needs. I'm also biased towards JSON as a format because I learned programming too late in life to be a Unixy regexy text wizard, though I admire people of that ilk from afar.

For improvised analysis, I'm using jq on the terminal. For less flexible human-readable text summaries, I wrote a Deno script. Ergonomically, jq on the terminal feels lacking. Whoever made jq is doing God's work, to be clear, but I could possibly use a more intuitive language (with an emphasis on more tersely expressing groupings/filters). And independently of using jq or not, the terminal is slow and ephemeral: I would love something sort of like the Acme text editor (where you can build yourself an interface on the fly with text), but without the three-button mouse dependency. Right now I just keep a cheatsheet of jq commands that have been useful. I've been daydreaming about making a local webapp to fulfill this need (that just eval()s Javascript, since it would only ever be local).
I remember the Windows SuperFetch* memory caching service getting the same (misplaced, in many cases) complaints for a while after it was introduced on Windows Vista and 7. Unused memory is wasted memory.

The following comment is not well considered.

I once installed Litecoin Core (on Windows 10) on my desktop PC. I had Comcast (branded as Xfinity) broadband, whatever speeds my region and apartment supported. I had a 1TB monthly limit before throttling. I lived in the east SF bay area. I downloaded Litecoin Core software at the beginning of the month. I got dial-up speeds for the rest of the month. I got a 5x average bill that I had to negotiate down. Nobody on my server even cared about the federated rooms, it was just me trying to give them more flexibility.

Allowing federation with Matrix has the same issue, and I know it's being addressed, but I want to hammer this home. Self hosting means normal, poor people, too, not just EU government entities and Upcoming Big Tech partners. I know you know this, but every advocate needs reminders here and there.
The goal should obviously be to end any violence at all and give people free choice. But AFAIK no decision they make fundamentally changes anything. Hormones, surgery etc. don't seem to solve anything statistically speaking. For example you frequently head that hormone therapy should be stated as early as possible to get the best desired result but if you look at suicide data, earlier hormone treatment does not reduce suicides. Neither does surgery.

Should the people sill have their free will to chose? Yes, absolutely but as early as possible? Probably not. Young people make stupid decisions that's why they are not allowed to do certain things and decide certain things.
If a kid isn't allowed to get a tattoo why is it controversial that it isn't allowed to take hormones that permanently alter their body and make them infertile.

Also lets just assume that from all teenager going trough puberty that would be eligible for hormone therapy on the basis of their own decision, a fraction would eventually have a "normal life" if no hormone treatment is done. Lets say its 10%.

So by giving 100% of eligible teenagers hormone treatment this wound mean 10% are permanently harmed versus giving no teenager hormone treatment where 90% would eventually get it anyway when they are older. Which doesn't seem to have a measurable negative effect on their overall mental health and well-being. Then this would mean no early treatment for anyone safes 10% or the other way around early treatment causes 10% collateral damage.

Obviously there has to be a middle ground somewhere but I would say there is good evidence that pushing/motivating people/kids/teenagers is overall likely doing more harm than good.
And pushing/motivating based on some personal ideology is not in the interest of the people/kids/teens anyway. They may truly believe what they do helps and have no intention to harm anyone but so do the Scientology people. It just not what a school should do.
Why shouldn't people be allowed to buy and own slaves, if there are takers willing to sell themselves into slavery (say, to provide for their family)?
FWIW Zip was only 1 year later with 100MB (and IMO less durable media). I agree that MD was better, but Sony in the 90s didn't seem to want to do anything that they couldn't completely own themselves.

My recollection is that Zip media was also way cheaper than blank MDs, but I don't have any sources for that.
Just a note: NYC + San Francisco <<< the United States.

Most Expansive Definition of Population (TriState + Bay Area) — 28M
Just the Population (USA) — 330M

Most Expansive Definition of Land area (TriState + Bay Area) — 11K sq mi
Just the Land area (USA) — 4000K sq mi

A common bias for non-US folks is to put too much focus on “the biggest” US urban center.

For England, 20% of the population lives in “greater London”. For France, 15% live in the Paris unité urbaine.

It’s different in the US. The population of NYC is almost a rounding error in the total US population (~3%). The population of the NYC “Tri-State” area, in its most expansive definition, is ~6%. They are also the only folks who think NYC is any sort of unique cultural lead for the US.

The population of San Francisco actually is a rounding error for the total US population. The whole Bay Area is bigger, but only at about ~2% of the US population. And again, they are the only folks who think San Francisco is a unique cultural lead.

Both urban regions are actual rounding errors when it comes to US land area.

And divide by a factor of 10 when discussing the dense urban core of NYC or San Francisco, which is what some folks rant about. Just move the decimal point over one to the left. Yes, they are that small.

So don’t read too much into these sorts of (NYC+SF) discussions as a barometric reading on the entire US.
A lot of the various security options in systemd: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exe...

The sandboxing and mount-related ones are implemented with namespaces, and the idea with them is to not make any of them mandatory so they can be slowly added to system services. That way you can get some of the benefits without needing to build a full rootfs/container for the service. I am not sure how any of those would be done with jails because jails require you to create a chroot and network interface, whereas in Linux the mount and network namespaces are just optional namespaces and you can still use the other namespaces without using them.
The article advocates that the client pulls data via polling (as I understand it), ignoring over a decade of precedence for using websockets for pushing data to a client or broadcasting it to many clients. It's up to the clients to consume that data and react to it if they even want to. There's nothing particularly bad about pub/sub there.

It also talks about a 'command pattern' at that point, which sounds like they're complaining about RPC really.
On this theory, they shut down mental health institutions. Now what happens is mostly that jails serve as ill-suited, ad-hoc mental health institutions. Turns out making things worse without having a plan doesn't always have salutary results.
Yo, just because a new student getting loans right now can get 4% doesn't mean that 7% wasn't absolutely the norm for many people over the past decades. Anyone in their 30s has 6 or 7% or more on their loans, before ZIRP took over.

And since raising rates is the way they're going to stop inflation, like it or not, that 4% is going to end real soon and kids will be back to 5-7% in the next few years.
Yeah after thinking about it some more I can see the difference. I'm not sure if I would pronounce 3 differently from 1-2 or not though. I think I might pronounce "allowed" the same as 1-2 but "amend" a little like you are suggesting.

The short version is the individual neurons aren't directly responsible for much at all, but rather they are a medium for brain waves to propagate and the brain waves are the currency which thought is conducted in. Things are represented with waves, not with individual neurons being on or off.

I've written elsewhere how I think existent machine learning may be doomed to plateau because the things that are still difficult for machines have elegant solutions in frequency space but no analogous solution in the existing models.

I enjoyed reading that too. It's great to see the amount of thought that the language maintainers put into design, especially for things like syntactic sugar (which can get overwhelming in other languages).
Probably the way of the future, maybe ultimately for the better.

But it's kinda viscerally disturbing that the article fawns over businesses not having to pay employment insurance or keep up with minimum wage increases, with no mention of the implications this might have for the labour market.

New Mexico fall thunderstorms can do one every 2-3 seconds for a minute. And the storm itself will last for hours, even though it calms down a little. Lightning radar apps show a 30 minute window of lightning and can fill up areas of the map with just solid yellow from the overlapping bolt icons.

I've just finished porting my gods module (Go Data Structures) to make use of generics.

https://github.com/johan-bolmsjo/gods/tree/v2

It's not much, only a simple list and an AVL tree that I've carried with me for many years. Binary search trees are useful to solve some problems because they are ordered.

I was impressed with how polished the tools where. The go-lsp plugin just worked with the new generic types. I solved all compiler errors in the editor without actually compiling anything. Did not expect that level of polish. The modules introduction broke the editor integration for many release cycles. This seems much smoother.
Jesus Christ, this is massive! Props to Youstin, great work. This is the kind of stuff that keeps people on the internet safe from major attacks with fancy names. I hope he got his bounties!
A migration guide would be much appreciated.

I'd also like them to name homeserver.yaml in the Synapse Debian package to something akin to homeserver.example.yaml so that updates don't make me have to diff changes to figure out what I need to add (since accepting the package version overwriting my homeserver url is unacceptable). But that's neither here nor there.
I find it more amusing that the same people also worship the police ("thin blue line" etc), despite the fact that cops are literally the very people who implement day-to-day government intervention in their lives.

It gets even weirder when the same person also rants about the federal (FBI, BATFE, DEA etc) "jack-booted thugs". This is incredibly common in the right-wing gun owner community.
I am sure it is awesome but the name of this utility is somewhat unfortunate

People want to believe the headlines that confirm their prior beliefs, when if you read the actual research reports your will find that there is still just a lot of uncertainty on the question of intrinsic severity.

Those that want to report that omicron is milder focus on overall stats and average symptoms, and gloss over confounding factors.

Those that want to report that it’s just as severe as delta seem to be just picking up the status quo of poor science journalism, and equating “insufficient evidence” with “conclusive there’s no difference”.

This preprint from today out of SA lays out some prospective good news, but still with a lot of uncertainty over how much the lower severity is intrinsic vs mediated by prior infection/vaccination. And there are plenty of limitations, not least of which that their study only includes confirmed omicron infections up to the end of November (they study hospitalizations, and even had to prune their dataset because some patients are still in hospital).

There is just legitimately not enough data yet to answer the questions that most need answering.

Saying goodbye to an old friend
The stoic dicta to live in accordance with god/nature and to carefully consider what things are in your control and which not (mainly, the only things in your control are your own judgements). It has nothing to do with the doctrine of The Elect, which if I recall stems from a medieval theological catch-22 (if god is all powerful, and if you can earn your way into heaven with "good works", then the implication is that god would be less than all powerful because you, a lowly human, would have some power in the matter).

But the church both appropriated and denigrated the classical tradition. I wouldn't really expect to see an honest representation of stoicism, or Platonism, or of anything really, from the church.
It doesn't mean they don't take them seriously, it means that responding with missiles isn't an option if the other guy has the ability to massively retaliate. Other options, like sanctions or retaliating in kind, plus shoring up defenses, are a better bet. Even retaliating in kind is problematic if the result is that the Internet becomes almost unusable.

All during the Cold War the USA and USSR engaged in various kinds of low-level sabotage against each other. Fortunately for us all, it didn't escalate out of control.
I am happy to burn some karma calling out this behavior.

I don't see why. BSD and GPL are equally compatible, it doesn't matter which way you go. I can see why they wouldn't want a GPL component to be mandatory but it can be made an optional component for Linux compatibility which seems to be the way BSD would want it anyway.
So have a combination of the federal and state government guarantee student an amount of public loans for the student to attend a public in-state school. The student also shouldn't be forced to take on private loans because their parents refused to pay their share; that's a problem for the government and parents to figure out, not for the student to be punished for.

The estimated 2021 cost of attendance at the public school i graduated from are low enough that you should still be able to graduate with less then "6 figures debt" scenario that's tossed around, especially if you're working a part-time job throughout your education. If in-state schools are too expensive for federal govt to fund, then that's the state's problem to solve since that seems like a broken public college system.

Kids should have a right to education, but if someone doesn't have the money or is getting a degree without prospect of sustainable financial return then they should be prevented from making the bad decision of going to a more expensive private university.

I’ve not thought to make a comparison to cord cutters but this seems like an apt comparison. Car ownership is very expensive and with the current shortage of new cars and increase cost of used cars maybe their will be a higher demand for public transportation. Car cutting needs to become a thing. My wife and I recently went down to one car and I wish I could go down to 0 cars.
