What does atheism have to do with consumerism ? One can believe that there's no god and not want to define their lives by consumption. An idealized version of my life would be defined by creating and learning new things, I don't need to believe in a supernatural being for that
Or the white army and the kulaks were indeed to blame and people at the time understood that, while you swallowed propaganda blaming the Bolsheviks.
"Assume infinite pipe and ludicrous client resources."
Indeed this is true from my experience... moments of insight into beauty (which make me want to take a picture) seem to occur much more when I'm away from home.
The Linux Paradigm
1. Due to the need to accelerate, HSR is only really good for 100 mile+ trips, beyond the range eVTOLs are being proposed for.

2. Hsr only goes point to point, stops and door to door transport isn’t really feasible, and those last couple of miles take a lot of the time.

3. HSR is extraordinarily expensive in infrastructure costs and most city pairs don’t have the passenger volume to justify it.
they are more easily identifiable, but they are also very simple. when writing C, you probably write a potential memory safety bug roughly every 100 lines. Even if you detect 99% with automated tooling that's still a pretty sizable attack surface.
Amen Brother ;)

I could not have said it better than you did. I think that the real power is in your own mind and that most religions or "spiritual practices" are just ways of tricking your mind into solving your problems. You don't need religion once you realize that and then just use your mind.
Senders and recipients aren’t encrypted on Matrix, are they? As I understand it, Matrix is a great chat product, but it’s not targeting the same use case.
Hahaha I wish these numbers were quoted post-tax... unfortunately UK numbers are in my experience all quoted pre-tax, just like in the US. So yes, that £74,000 really is before ~22% tax (income tax + national insurance).
The thing that makes the C++ standard library source difficult to understand in my experience is heavy usage of templates and very deep inheritance chains.
Yes, and on top of that I use a vertical left-handed mouse. I am right handed but my dad made me switch to driving a mouse with the left hand some 25 years ago. I am forever thankful to him for that :) First, you'll be faster because you can use keyboard with the right hand and drive a mouse with the left. Second, load on your right hand is automatically lower. And third, just use vertical mouse for a much more comfortable hand position :)
the relative sizes of things you have trouble seeing due to dimness or can't see due to wavelength is very wild to me, for example the andromeda galaxy (you can only, at best, see its nucleus even with a proper telescope or binoculars):

If you interpret "spirituality" this broadly then the word is useless. This is why you'll receive some dismissive answers.

I drink espresso every morning. I challenge you to find a way to link that to this thread that isn't as useless as defining a synonym for the word "habit", or "preference", or similar.

Reality doesn't have to be interesting, nor do the results of self-examination. As best I can tell I'm a biological entity with a false sense of self and free will on a rock in the middle of an unfathomably large universe, the existence of which I will never understand. That's it. That's actually already quite interesting. Why do so many feel the need to try and force the elevation of the everyday and the mundane into that same plane? And worse yet, to speak condescendingly of others as you do so.
I mean the product manager isn’t wrong, there is no good reason we shouldn’t be able to make custom components with the behavior of “native” widgets. The fact that the dev story is “build a widget from scratch out of divs” and not “extend the fully functional component with new styling and hooks and slight behavior modifications.”

We created this problem ourselves by not having the tools to meet designer needs while doing it right. Pontificating about how they should just change their notion of right misses it completely.
I enjoyed being part of one (if that counts)...

So much wrong with this article. First, it beats around the bush about the point of the article for quite a while, and then delivers a children's storybook version of the explanation after a while. Which is common in articles these days.

> The reason for this widespread genetic variation among Greenlanders is due to a diet that has stood out from that of the rest of the world for millennia.

Greenlanders haven't existed for millennia. Greenlanders have existed for just under a millennium.

> "It is probably due to Greenlanders not having had very much sugar in their diet"... He adds that this has made the genetic variation frequent, as there has never been a need to absorb sugar rapidly in the bloodstream.

That's not how evolution works. If this mutation gives a health or fitness advantage it would be selected for. It's selection probably ticked up after the widespread availability of sugar.

But on the topic in it, I think such a mutation would be great to have. I wonder if it exists off the island or how frequent it is.
Oh cool, I hadn’t seen this either! Thanks!

Also thanks for the other links, ziglearn is great.
No. This goes back to the original soft skills comment. Developers who can convince app review that they have a solid and trustworthy process, and more successfully escalate and have conversations about the review process, and frame their app differently to change the perspective of review, are able to get more interesting USG into their app (the opposite of conforming.)

The problem, as I said earlier, is that indies have no chance of spending enough time developing their app and also having time to do this or of hiring someone to do this. This is where the gatekeeping comes from. I think it actually keeps them from launching and growing, not just publish with neutered content (what you call conforming.)
This is pretty much my routine as well. I find morning and evening prayer / reflection very useful to help me make small, continuous improvements.
Sure, the objection Moxie has is people referring to Telegram as an “encrypted messenger” when the default usage is not encrypted. It means that people may download it wanting security and thinking they are covered, when in reality they aren’t because they are using a group chat.
I'd delete this comment if I were you. The copyright cartels have ended lives for less.

edit: I tried to keep it simple so that a null-edit would suffice to scrub the comment in question. But since I have to explain - the author runs the service for which they're providing instructions. This creates a straightforward argument that they intend their service to be used for storing forbidden files. Such "contributory infringement" is exactly how the copyright cartels have gone after youtube-dl, Popcorn Time, and many other general tools.
> probably write a potential memory safety bug roughly every 100 line

If that is what your C code looks like, then yeah, you should probably not be writing C code.
You may or may not have realized that you only reinforced the previous point.
Why does an electric airplane need to use batteries for storage? I'd say advance the technology by using other sources of power if possible.

Instead of compressed liquid hydrogen which is hard to contain maybe some type of heated metal-hydride using hydrogen. Convert with a fuel cell, maybe batteries as a buffer and for their efficiency. Event that weird PowerPaste stuff may be suitable too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerpaste

I've seen 30kWh to 50kWh per 100kg of hydrogen metal hydride. The linked says says Tesla is about 75kWh per 453kg (1,000 lbs) and the Joby S4 claims 150kWh 907kg (2,000 lbs). Batteries would be more efficient but if hydrogen metal-hydride is 50kWh/100kg a Tesla could have 340kWh at the same weight of storage or lose 300kg and still have 75kWh.
Busted. I conflated the two. Apart from the FBI warning and goofy one-off menus, I mostly loved DVDs.
these threads always bring the worst of my FOMO.
Sigh. Not this discussion again.

Also it's the guardian, may as well post a telegraph article that says the exact opposite.

My take on it: when money is involved, humans are excellent at optimising those systems.

Look at the lengths and success of people/companies go through to minimise paying tax.

What I'm trying to say is that we'll be fine once the existing systems are optimised for us not being in the EU. Obviously we're in the adjustment period, and I feel sorry for the people struggling with that.
What if the patient doesn't have a smartphone (or don't know how to pair/operate Bluetooth), or too many active test kits are lingering in the patient waiting room making it impossible to navigate all the devices? I don't see how this particular SKU would be a good fit for a clinic. Easier and cheaper to just give the patient a passive test strip they can use in their own privacy.
"[The successful scientist] is sometimes driven, I will dare to suggest, by a passive-aggressive nature, and sometimes an anger against some part of society or problem in the world. There is also an introversion in the innovator that keeps him from team sports and social events. He dislikes authority, or at least being told what to do. He is not a leader in high school or college, nor is he likely to be pledged by social clubs. From an early age he is a dreamer, not a doer. His attention wanders easily. He likes to probe, to collect, to tinker. He is prone to fantasize. He is not inclined to focus. He will not be voted by his classmates most likely to succeed."

-- E.O. Wilson
And yet humans commonly think they are the most important thing on earth, placing themselves at the apex of some pyramid.

E O Wilson gives us perspective by seeing the world not as a bauble in a real estate store, but as a canvas for all of biology.
Yeah for sure. That's the reason why I got into modular in the first place. Different workflow. It's just that the workflow ended up not working for me personally, but it definitely works for some people.

There's also something about for me about being more musical if I have physical knobs to play with that are mapped to every parameter available. This is largely an unsolved problem in virtual instruments. Nobody has really made a digital controller that maps nicely to virtual instruments, and I suspect the reason is it's because the plugin makers refuse to follow a standard to map out their parameters in a consistent way. There's work being done around some of this w/ Omnisphere and its ability to take advantage of your pre-existing hardware to map to all the virtual knobs, but I'd like to have a controller in front of me that consistently controls all of my virtual instruments in a way that makes sense and it mostly can't or doesn't exist.
> Name and cite a single Christian source from before 1600 which believes the Bible is a flawed text which contains errors.

As I said before, the traditional view is that the Bible is free of error, but that this refers to its intended moral message, not historical or scientific truth or any other alternative purpose one might apply to it.

Given that, you must be asking for not someone who sees it as containing error but instead factual inaccuracy, and for that, well, a good place to start is Origen of Alexandria (c. AD 184 – c. AD 253), who succinctly lays out both the traditional view of the purpose of scripture and the manner in which it encompasses and is unshaken by (and is even be served by) the presence of factual error in the Commentary on the Gospel of John, Book 10, Chapter 4, which opens:

“In the case I have supposed where the historians desire to teach us by an image what they have seen in their mind, their meaning would be found, if the four were wise, to exhibit no disagreement; and we must understand that with the four Evangelists it is not otherwise. They made full use for their purpose of things done by Jesus in the exercise of His wonderful and extraordinary power; they use in the same way His sayings, and in some places they tack on to their writing, with language apparently implying things of sense, things made manifest to them in a purely intellectual way. I do not condemn them if they even sometimes dealt freely with things which to the eye of history happened differently, and changed them so as to subserve the mystical aims they had in view; so as to speak of a thing which happened in a certain place, as if it had happened in another, or of what took place at a certain time, as if it had taken place at another time, and to introduce into what was spoken in a certain way some changes of their own. They proposed to speak the truth where it was possible both materially and spiritually, and where this was not possible it was their intention to prefer the spiritual to the material. The spiritual truth was often preserved, as one might say, in the material falsehood.”

Is “before the First Nicene Council” enough “before 1600” for you?
The issue with Telegram has been brought up many times by many people. It defaults to insecure and is advertised as “encrypted messaging”. It’s a great messaging tool that offers one way to send e2ee chats, but the default is not and group chats aren’t. The comparison to Facebook messenger is apt.
Interesting. I liked your angle on this. Just to add more on it: it is a high chance that we are some sort of a fish in an aquarium. its a vast universe for us but we might not be more than a family of bacterias on a random rock in a tank thats filled with void.
I don't really think ordinary people (and rich people TBF) can completely defend themselves against any state player.

Anonymous guides I read mostly recommend Tor, anonymous sim card and purchasing electronics with cash. But I don't think it's going to render any state player's work impossible. I mean if they are really onto you.

On the other side, three char agencies cannot waste resources on every individual, so the best way is to stay out of the radar.
Thanks for the heads-up about ps4 bluray playing. Apparently (assuming reddit posts to be correct) the internet requirement is a one-time thing where it downloads codecs, and Sony is supposedly doing it this way so they only pay the codec licensing fee for ps4s whose owners ever actually play a bluray rather than for ever ps4 ever shipped. So I'll make sure to do a test bluray play and then fingers crossed if I want to watch something in future when the internet is out it will work...
I’m thankful for the openness and respectfulness of this discussion.

Prior to my conversion I’d identify myself largely with new age spirituality and stoicism. They were pragmatic in that they seemingly satiated the need for the divine and encouraged behaviors that were productive from a societal perspective.

I was saved in January of 2019. The early days of walking with Christ were beautiful. I sold my most ostentatious worldly possessions, bought a motorcycle, and would ride into the mountains to find a patch of grass and read the Bible to learn more about God.

God is gracious. The more I earnestly sought Him, the more He revealed Himself.

Nowadays, I start my day with prayer and usually a brief study in the Bible. I like to focus on what the passage conveys about God’s character. Afterwards I pray for His guidance as to the tasks to carry out for the day.

I try to pray throughout the day but I’m most deliberate about praying during transitions (ie: from hands on work to taking a meeting)

I end the day with a prayer for wisdom as I open the scriptures again, then finally a prayer of thanksgiving before bed.

I’ve found that Jesus is less about religious tradition and more about understanding who God is and what He has done, what His Will is, and doing it. In the heart of one who truly believes in Christ, this order increases our love and joy in God.

Everything else — church, serving people, acting morally - is downstream from loving God and our neighbor as ourself.
Actually, there is no need to make guesses about whether cdaddr is bad, unreadable, introduces hard to handle bugs or what the limits of list structure complexity should be. It isn't some new idea or brief historic oddity that you can pass whatever judgement on.

The term is at least 40 years old, standardized, still in use, has its own established pronunciation and isn't known to cause a lot of bugs. It is also at the periphery of the car/cdr body of terms -- i.e. programming tradition shows that the level of complexity it covers is needed (or the term would have disappeared), but any further is too rare to merit a shortcut. In addition, it is easy to remember what it does: each d is a cdr, each a is a car. So it isn't any harder to read than a chain of firsts, seconds, rests and nth n's.
Tim Ferriss's second episode with Balaji was great. It was around 4-5 hours, and Tim just steps aside letting Balaji brain dump on all sorts of interesting topics and ideas.

Note, the degree of the infringement would be considered in any future case. A more serious usage, and more commercial leverage of it, would likely result in higher fines. Courts take a dim view of companies taking the fines as a "cost of business" rather than a deterrent.
>Atheism is not spiritual and to conflate the two is foolish.

Not necessarily, obviously, but there are spiritual atheists, and if OP asks "what are your spiritual practices" then "I have none" is a valid answer.

>It is clear that atheism and consumerism in modern society do not make people happy.

The least happy people I know are religious, and almost all the Atheists I know are pretty happy with their lives. I don't think Atheism makes people happy, but I don't think Theism makes everyone happy too. It works for some, and doesn't work for others.
I think this has come up on HN enough that people probably already know about these alternatives, but I really recommend using a Nitter front-end to browse Twitter if you don't actively maintain a Twitter account.

It doesn't help if like Eevee you do have an account and are actually tweeting, but if all you're doing is browsing then it runs completely Javascript-free.

In regards to the actual content of the article, it's an eye-opening experience to dig into how a lot of these pages are constructed and to realize that sites like Google search, Facebook, Twitter are not really designed around having the simplest most performant implementations.

There is some dark eldritch magic that happens behind the scenes on a lot of these sites that keeps them working with accessibility readers and nothing else: trying to make it harder to find hrefs, trying to get rid of right-click open in new tab commands, trying to make it impossible for browser extensions to identify parts of the HTML. And I think it's really easy at first to say, "this is a complicated problem we don't understand, of course this must be a super-performant hyper-optimized way of doing everything." But it just becomes harder and harder to justify that over time. The link wrapping that Google search does really doesn't have anything to do with performance, it's designed to close holes around how people open links without sending pingbacks to Google servers.

There is a real incentive battle between tracking/control and simplicity/performance/flexibility, and the performance side doesn't always win, it seems that big companies are actually willing to introduce a huge amount of engineering complexity for an outcome that's almost as good as a normal href but that allows them to accomplish other goals as well.

The level of complexity in these sites sometimes gets used as an excuse to avoid criticism, but I think that sometimes the complexity is there purely because sites are actually fighting with browser technology; Google's setup for link wrapping is very complicated, Twitter's text entry is very complicated, because they're trying to take control of a process that they don't normally have control over. So they build very complicated houses of cards that fall over in weird situations, and the complexity of the house of cards becomes the defense against criticism that the house of cards keeps falling over.

I look at projects like Nitter; Nitter is not a full Twitter replacement, but in regards to the parts of Twitter that it does replace, it's better engineered. It's less complicated, the engineering is less impressive, but impressive engineering is not the same thing as good engineering. For the features it's replicating, Nitter works better than the real thing, and I think the reason is that it's less complicated and that it's fighting less with the browser.

> how a nerdy dot-com gold chaser hacked the self-satisfied neoliberal green political regime and orchestrated a cacophonous symphony of thirsty social media marketeers, auto industry executives, captured and bought off media, and the bull market ride of the century. At the center of all of this is the pied piper of the redditmen, our very own epic bacon PT Barnum — Elon Musk — who rightly understands that branding really is everything and that so long as you can keep the music going the party doesn’t have to end.
A character asks that question in Hyperion, by another sci-fi author (Dan Simmons).

The answer he arrived at was that God was not testing Abraham. He was allowing Abraham to test God. When God stayed his hand at the last moment, he knew that he'd met a god worth following.

(I'm not religious myself, but I did find this to be an interesting-enough interpretation to parrot it back to you on a web forum)
I just watched "Don't look up" last night...
I know this is likely to be controversial, but JS improves the user experience a lot, both in terms of interaction and speed, as well as making development more manageable (if used correctly), alas at the expense of annoying purists who would prefer to enagage in all sorts of CSS/HTML gymnastics just to avoid using JS (and other kinds that would prefer vanilla JS to frameworks). Do that in a large project and you'll quickly realise how unmanageable it is let alone, as the author says, "iffy".
Ownership rules still apply _to references_, but not to raw pointers.

This program prints "12". The only difficulty is that Rust's designers have intentionally made this pattern difficult by marking raw pointers as !Send, but you can get around that by wrapping them in a Send type.

use std::{time::Duration, ops::{DerefMut, Deref}};

struct SendWrapper<T>(*mut T);

impl<T> Deref for SendWrapper<T> {
type Target = T;

fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target {
unsafe { self.0.as_ref() }.unwrap()
}
}
impl<T> DerefMut for SendWrapper<T> {
fn deref_mut(&mut self) -> &mut Self::Target {
unsafe { self.0.as_mut() }.unwrap()
}
}

unsafe impl<T> Send for SendWrapper<T> {}

fn main() {
let mut x = 10;
let p1: *mut usize = &mut x;
let p2: *mut usize = &mut x;
let mut s1 = SendWrapper(p1);
let mut s2 = SendWrapper(p2);

let j1 = std::thread::spawn(move || {
*s1.deref_mut() += 1;
});
let j2 = std::thread::spawn(move || {
std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
*s2.deref_mut() += 1;
});
j1.join().unwrap();
j2.join().unwrap();
println!("x: {}", x);
}
What's your definition of "correctly implemented"? Because the NFT platform Ubisoft went with has all kinds of restrictions on it, and I imagine they consider it to be "correctly implemented."
