In the old days priests would say the gods put rulers in their place over everyone. Nowadays we have Wilson saying the same thing, except science and genetics have replaced talk of the gods. It's very simple and the basis of all ideology - the rulers are right to rule for whatever reason.

It is not a new criticism of Wilson, people in the 1970s saw it for what it was.

Funny to see mention of Lysenko. Lysenko mainly talked about plant germination. Wilson talked about human brains and how one race is superior to another. It seems Lysenko was more modest than Wilson. It's odd to bring Lysenko up as Wilson is completely ideological and politicized - you'd think they would leave out mention of Lysenko. Of course if you right a political book about one race's superiority to another's and want to pass it off as science, first strategy is to accuse anyone who questions any aspect of it of being ideological.

I'm glad old bastards like Wilson, who would prefer to go back to his youth of segregated buses and drinking fountains, are dropping dead. Of course the day will come that this wack job on Medium foaming at the mouth about inferior blacks and communists will one day kick off too.
first off who cares you can insult people sometimes it helps.

Anyway it's not "character assassination" if it's true. I don't know enough about this person's work over time but.

That does describe some people I can think of, so it's at least possible this is a fair description of his position.
So, when do enough scams on people choosing to participate go from being their problem, to society's problem? And when do we all start to have to pay for this at some point? Because I have a feeling we will, even though I have no idea why.

I think you mean it has cons and cons. We are discussing cons, after all.
From this article

> It recategorized some nonviolent offenses as misdemeanors, rather than felonies, as they had previously been categorized.

It’s still a crime. Police’s job is to respond to crime. Can you imagine if you were tasked with a job and then just stopped doing it because your thought your boss needed to take it more seriously? Any place I worked you’d get fired.

Especially if you started lying to everyone that your boss made it a rule that the problem can’t be dealt with when in reality you just think the consequences aren’t high enough

> No matter how diligent cops are, they cannot do anything about these crimes within the law

They could patrol the streets and respond to the crime. The court system and prosecutors office decides if it needs to escalate from there. This is the LAPD however so they’re probably too busy forming gangs and engaging in crime themselves
Mathew 20:13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

Thank you, that's a really great overview.

Wow. Just wow. I wish everything in my life was designed like this.
>>Identity politics aims to change culture and behavior in ways that have real material benefits for many people.

>>By turning a spotlight on narrower experiences of injustice, identity politics has brought about welcome changes in cultural norms and has produced concrete public policies that have helped many people. The Black Lives Matter movement has made police departments across the United States much more conscious of the way they treat minorities, even though police abuse still persists.

This is another false, politically correct account.

The impact of the Black Lives Matter movement, on black lives, has been devastating.

What this racial justice movement led to is riots, wherein 18 people were murdered in one night in Chicago:

https://forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2020/06/08/18-people-were...

And massively less aggressive policing, which led to 1,003 homicides in Chicago in 2021, twice that of 2019.

https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Report-paints-grim-...

The reason is that police are arresting fewer people, and solving fewer homicides:

https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2022/1/3/22858995/chicago...

“Many of our officers are not arresting people, are letting crimes that happen right in front of them go by because they don’t want to be misconstrued as being racist or being held liable for any kind of misconceived notions of brutality or whatever,” he said."

Consequently, revenge killings, where one gang retaliates against another for a previous, unsolved, homicide, have skyrocketed.

Are you just trying to say the smart contracts can have bugs in general?

It's trivial to write a bug free money doubler smart contract. The logic needed is VERY simple.
There are mentally challenged people in this world who deserve your sympathy when falling for scams. Do not scorn them for greed, a trait with which many are afflicted, regardless of mental capacity.
It's pretty much just "mail fraud, but on a computer." Banking transactions are the exception, not the rule. Most ordinary transactions aren't reversible by a central authority. You traded your baseball cards for some magic beans, well, enjoy your magic beans.

People intuitively understand that they shouldn't put a stack of twenties and hundreds in an envelope and hand it to a stranger in a ski mask who promises to pay it back with interest overnight.

But people have been taught that electronic money transfers are risk-free with chargebacks and insurance, so they think that if this is a scam, it'll be the bank's problem.

You wanted to be your own bank, guess who's problem it is now.

The real problem is that people don't understand that, so they do with their Bitcoin what they would never do with their jewelry.
Probably not "overtly" in the sense that there's no written law against it; quite overtly in that Cooley's refusal was likely based on some specific line in its ethics handbook that said this was an improper request.
My favorite ways to optimize programs instead pessimizes them on RISC-V.

I have read claims that the Bitmanip extension, or maybe just parts of it, will end up in the "profile" that full-featured desktop-scale parts will support, but I have not found any way to verify that. With desktop-style boards already being sold, is there any reasonable expectation that default builds for 64-bit RISC-V will ever assume those Bitmanip instructions are there, and use them in optimizations? Or are the extensions more of a cruel joke, suggesting to us in detail what we might have had, but can't really ever?
The initial advice was all based on the theory that Covid had a droplet based spread: Wear a cloth mask to catch large droplets before they spread. Stay six feet apart, because large droplets fall to the ground within that distance. Use hand sanitizer and disinfect surfaces droplets might fall on. Put up sneeze guards at registers to protect the cashiers.

However, once you know the virus is fully airborne, you can focus on different things, like improving indoor ventilation in public spaces so you are constantly exchanging inside air for outside air.

We have HVAC systems that will help recover the ac/heat when you do this.

You have to call the function. This adds a new stack frame, which then is closed when the function concludes. This means you're constantly going in, going out, going in going out...

I published a benchmark of various techniques of VM implementation today. It was conducted in C++ compliant C, but the results should be applicable to Rust. Just calling the function will always be the slowest due to the work the processor has to do for each instruction.

Basically, you're better off with a massive switch statement, even if it's ugly in terms of program organization.
I have lived 4 years of my adult life phone free. It was quite liberating. I know have a phone because I am working on an iOS app (and I enjoy having a phone as well so far)

But I think I might go back to having no phone next year. I would not define myself as "the guy who has no phone", and I definitely allow myself to change my mind, it's not for tracking or privacy reasons, mostly that sometimes I feel the need to be a lot more creative and explorative than social. Remove a phone from your life can definitely make you see the world differently.
Seems insane, but it's essentially no different from any other kind of gambling. Suspecting that the game is fixed doesn't stop a lot of people from betting the house regardless.
You can look around the osdev.org forums for plenty of that.
It's basically impossible to do it right - when you have such a wide audience, every single decision you make will upset potentially millions of people, be illegal/legal in some parts of the world, will impact both good and bad actors, etc. And you have to relay on automation a lot, as it's not cost effective to have meaningful review by humans.

But that brings obvious follow up question - should then such a big platform exist? IMO, even with all those problems - yes. Being able to easily share content with people around the world is and remove barriers for acquiring knowledge is a huge advancement. But I can totally see people disagree with that.
In addition, the licensing of "public" datasets is not always aligned with the Open Database License (ODbL) used by OpenStreetMap.

So did I. I don't want others to have to go through with it. The lesson will be others will have money to spend on other things that will be more beneficial to me in the long run.

> But from what I see nobody at Apple cares. So the silence contributes to the perception of incompetence by not counter-acting it.

There isn’t silence though. The world doesn’t begin and end at Hacker News. Head over to Twitter, for instance, and you’ll see plenty of Apple developers talking about their work. Or join the WebKit mailing lists or Slack. Or join the Swift forums.
If somebody is smart enough to verify that a smart contract does what it says on the tin, they should be more than smart enough to realise that crypto doubling is always going to be a scam.
There's a subtle bug with:

def exception_instance(obj):
if isinstance(obj, BaseException):
return obj
elif isinstance(obj, type) and issubclass(obj, BaseException):
return obj()
else:
raise TypeError("exceptions must derive from BaseException")

Calling a class doesn't mean the result is a subclass. That's defined by __new__.

>>> class Spam(Exception):
... def __new__(self):
... return 4
...
>>> Spam()
4

I can't pass a Spam class as the __cause__:

>>> exc1 = Exception()
>>> exc1.__cause__ = Spam
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

but:

>>> exception_instance(Spam)
4

the following would handle that case:

def exception_instance(obj):
if isinstance(obj, type) and issubclass(obj, BaseException):
obj = obj()
if isinstance(obj, BaseException):
return obj
else:
raise TypeError("exceptions must derive from BaseException")

In an ideal decentralised world, anyone would be able to publish anything, but new versions of packages wouldn't get automatically downloaded until multiple trusted third parties had independently verified there were no regressions or security issues introduced.

Right now we have a collapsed version of that system, where the code host, package repo, and "auditing" is all done by one company, which gives them a lot of power and not much accountability. Also, to be clear, the "auditing" they do is only after the fact, i.e. they wait for other people to find a problem with a package and then only prevent it causing future harm.

Ultimately, though, you either have to read every line of code yourself, or trust some person or group of people to make security decisions on your behalf. In this case it only took one malicious person to cause trouble, and this can be mitigated by requiring more (independent) reviewers. The cost of adding more reviewers scales linearly with the number of reviewers, whereas the chance of them all independently but simultaneously being malicious decreases exponentially, so economics suggests this might be solvable if the value could be captured.

I survived the first 40 years of my life without a cell phone. Then I carried one phone and smartphone after another, first to keep track of my kids (who have always had phones), then for business and convenience. I have learned how to mute notifications and turn the phone off when I don’t need it. I don’t have it in my bedroom. It’s a tool that I can control, it doesn’t control me. Anyone can take control of their phone without throwing the useful features out.
I'm curious about this. Can you share any specific problem you had and couldn't find a solution for?

I recently downloaded skyrim and played for the first time, yes I'm quite late to it, but considering the hype of the game I was massively disappointed. The combat and manoeuvring was truly awful. People will say, ah yes but the story, the lore! But if I wanted that I'd read a book.

After playing for a while I decided to try red dead 2 and can say that that game is so, so much better than skyrim imho.

I try to avoid eating things from Amazon, due to supply chain concerns.

Compared to the $10/lb pepper I get locally, the $40/lb stuff is noticeably better, and I end up using a bit less of it. It's not a major expense for me -- a pound lasts nearly a year at my usage rate, which is about the point where I'd be worried about freshness anyway -- so, while I agree the cost-per-unit-weight difference is significant and even ridiculous, the cost-per-meal difference is in the noise for me personally.
Not exactly, but this is something that we definitely want to build in as a future feature. Currently, its sells tokens that you hold, and does not buy. This is if you buy into a new project early enough, and find yourself on a much higher value as a result of the token success, you can sell down at a profit.

Several inaccuracies regarding Venice. Venice thrived in the 15th and 16th century, despite the claim of the article of Venice losing the pepper trade to Lisbon, and started to decline only at the beginning of the 17th century.

Salt seems to have been at least as important as pepper.

From the Wikipedia page on the Economic History of Venice [0]:

> According to economic historian Jan De Vries, Venice's economic power in the Mediterranean had declined significantly by the start of the 17th century. De Vries attributes this decline to the loss of the spice trade, a declining uncompetitive textile industry, competition in book publishing due to a rejuvenated Catholic Church, the adverse impact of the Thirty Years' War on Venice's key trade partners, and the increasing cost of cotton and silk imports to Venice.

That makes sense! I never went to college and have never really been in "tech". Of my several dozen close friends, only one went to college and he definitely became markedly different than us as his studies went on.
FWIW, after spending some time exploring JSX implementations I think JSX is actually more spiritually aligned which lisp/s-expressions than Hiccup is. JSX commonly has a mental model that maps to hyperscript (which is a good baseline model), and that aligns with Hiccup perfectly. But JSX isn’t hyperscript, it’s a DSL that doesn’t define any runtime semantics. It’s also commonly associated with React or similar VDOMs, but nothing specifies that it actually evaluates to that. The only thing that’s specified is that it’s an expression and has specific expression syntax.

An increasingly popular example of how far that can be taken is Solid/DOM Expressions, which eliminate JSX at compile time and produce reactive DOM calls. It’s easy (at least since I’ve been exploring the space) to imagine compiling the same JSX to absolutely different implementations.

Granted Hiccup lives in a language with first class macros so it’s easy to imagine the same there too! But Hiccup itself is essentially hyperscript, and would need to be executed in a macro designed for that to be as versatile as JSX.

(Here’s hoping there’s interest in that! Every time I dive in this space I find myself wishing it all existed in a lisp and not in a Wild West of AST tooling)

> But the tendency of identity politics to focus on cultural issues has diverted energy and attention away from serious thinking on the part of progressives about how to reverse the 30-year trend in most liberal democracies toward greater socioeconomic inequality.

This is demonstrably untrue though. There's no conspiracy, intersectionality is growing, because it's a useful framework for finding similarity and solidarity across boundaries that used to be sharper like race, language, disability, religion.

The claim makes no sense, this is not how attention works. If more people are thinking and talking about something there will be more energy and attention on it for that time, not less.

Easily my favorite SciFi series of all time.
I have been wondering why programming is so much more accessible than mathematics to many, considering programming is in some way also a kind of mathematics.

I think some of it may have to do with the fact that in programming, one can get immediate and non-judgmental feedback about the correctness of ones solution. In mathematics, it's usually a lot more difficult to verify a solution if you don't already know the answer, so you're dependent on people for it.

So perhaps, interactive theorem provers may make mathematics a lot more accessible. But I hope the art of doing it with pen and paper doesn't get lost on us with it.
That code was his. Not anyone else's. There was also no assignment of copyright to Microsoft. I'd argue they overstepped their bounds. Further, he violated no tenant of an organization in what could arguably happen if say, Linus went off the deep end and scragged the Linux kernel somehow where you could say he violated the norms of the kernel group. Faker and colors does not rise to that.

People may not like that dependencies can have this happen, but this is why you read that code, and don't depend on a million things. Ethically, I can see the case for both sides, but pragmatically, I weigh in on the side of protecting the maintainer's right to post what he wants over Microsoft or anybody else's right to not be broken by blindly sucking down updates.

Again, unpopular as it is, that NO WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR USE OR MERCHANTIBILITY IMPLIED OR EXPLICIT either means exactly what it does, and should be reacted to accordingly by users of the code (audit first), and furthermore, means Microsoft is now on the hook for damages for usurping his intellectual property; or it doesn't and we need to have a long chat about the nature of software.
