The flip side of Poe's Law. Fifteen years ago, my father used to love rense.com and a couple of other conspiracy sites. He thought it was good fun. He thought the people running and contributing to them were just blowing off steam by poking dark fun at how stupid people could be, basically liberals doing some mean-spirited LARPing as conservatives. Knowing that some people would take them seriously just made it funnier in his mind.

I never asked him later (like after 2016) if he had revised his estimate of how many people on those sites were deadly serious versus poking fun.

When I first got my hands on a Frank Miller graphic novel, I had been led to believe that it was a critical examination of how people are seduced by violence, be careful when you look into the abyss, etc., but I was old enough to realize as I read it that the reason it was wildly popular was because it worked as wish fulfillment violence porn, and I couldn't see any sign that the author intended it to be read in any other way. Not that I was too good to enjoy it on that level, but after I finished it, I felt that it would be wrong to go back for more.
> For a starters, its not Bitcoin fault that someone did not have last will, or did not include the keys or their crypto in the last will.

It’s not Ford’s fault that someone didn’t drive safely, and yet they’re required to build cars with safety features. Bitcoin’s design ensures that these mistakes happen regularly, and most users end up paying a “I can’t believe it’s not a bank” exchange to hold their Bitcoin for them due to the many irrecoverable risks if you do it yourself.
>it sounds like there is some non-uniformity in the sphere

How I am understanding this is that the non-uniformity is in the cube, and I think it's very helpful in visualizing it.

I can imagine in 3d, the centers of the sides of the cube being pulled in, so that it's kind of hyperbolic looking.
i have to disagree strongly on this.

The Chinese government, and now others will also look more seriously into these matters, seems justified in building their Great Firewall after these constant stories of the surveillance state at work domestically and internationally.

We can't even keep the NSA from illegally prying into alleged "domestic terrorists" like Martin Luther King and Muhammad Ali:

> There is no runtime cost to providing the abstraction that Rust does.

This is technically true, but if I want to write a program that does not call malloc in its steady state, I can't use the stdlib or any library that uses the stdlib.
Without changing things so radically that we might not even be able to continue having a "Do everything in software with one click" society, social deterrence is going to to be important.

Unless people are manually verifying GPG keys in person all the time, you're gonna need to trust someone. Even with a two man rule you need some degree of trust. Trust is easier when people know they might go to jail if they break it.

Over time I have definitely come to see my ADHD as a blessing and a curse. I feel really lucky that I responded so well to medication, though sometimes I still feel so scattered I lack total enjoyment with whatever projects I work on.

So when I really need my monkey to to take the back seat for a while I can use medication.
you mean like 'u' for micro, and 'lambda'? I think this is pretty common.

Regardless, you're probably doing yourself a disservice if you're allowing things like that to take choices out of your toolbelt. Perhaps the worst offender is TLA+, where you have to write actual ascii art and latex inside your code (yes, I know model/spec). I despise it, to be clear, but it's still a pretty good tool and often the right thing to reach for
This just goes back to the same question - what do two processes use to map the same memory into their memory space if it isn't a path to a file?

I'm not saying there isn't anything, I'm just seeing an extreme avoidance to an actual answer. The other guy went down a rabbit hole of syncing that memory to storage, which has nothing to do with anything.

Much of it is "sappy guy gets the girl(s)" type stories or other power fantasies/wish fulfillment of various kinds. (Or bookish girl gets found by prince charming or multiple prince charmings.) It's very popular over there. It's been a persistent thought in my mind why this type of stuff isn't written in the US (or if it is, I can't find it).
I got some of my favorite photos from a $20 digital camera. I had spent thousands on various early cameras and decided to go to the lowest quality tool in order to improve other aspects of my photography, such as lighting and composition. It’s low cost also let me put the camera in positions I wouldn’t let my expensive cameras near (mud, water, traffic, etc).

When the camera stopped working, I hard wired an external battery pack on it, but it was never the same with the modifications.

Unfortunately, I had the photos stored on the Photo Bucket service and they decided to dump old photos of free users. Yeah, I know better, but I didn’t realize how important the images would become.

It's really an ironic shame that the region - which had various flavors of corrupt politicians always promising to "bring back the jobs" it lost from the Steel Mill Days had this concentration of activity in this nascent explosive industry: there was a huge concentration of BBS numbers in the Cleveland/Youngstown/Akron area code and rather than trying to grow the industry they just let it float away... While clutching their pearls about "the jobs".
honestly if you are doing native development and using the iOS/macOS tooling directly it is not that different than this. You basically have options, xibs and nibs like in this blog now have a new friend Storyboards that encompasses multiple screens and transitions but development is still GUI based and uses outlets like in the blog. A lot of programmers just refuse to use this stuff and just do everything programmatically. new kid on the block is SwiftUI which is a much saner not XML based declarative way of defining UI components like React but is still rough around edges and will likely be for a couple years.

It's kept up with inflation. But that's about it. Which means real wage growth is minimal.
Sorry, all you can eat was a bad choice of words. I meant in terms if the fees that Uber Eats collects.

I'd say prime is similar because you get free shipping but clearly Amazon.com makes money on each sale so the more they sell the more they earn.

On the other hand, movie pass is a fixed price. You pay the same regardless of whether you watch one movie or a hundred. What makes Netflix work with all you can eat but not movie pass? Is there a way to know ahead of time what works with all you can eat?

This. Reality is going to cause false positives. While you can try to minimize them you'll never get rid of them.

The measure of a system is how they are dealt with. Note that this is not limited to Google by any means. I'm thinking of the police throwing some people in jail as terrorists because they pinged on a geiger counter. Cancer patients, not terrorists. Compare that to what happened when my wife tripped a detector in China. The officials knew it was almost certainly a false positive and were looking for why rather than playing gotcha. (However, I think they went too far in the other direction--it was due to a nuclear heart test, but they didn't even doing the simple test of seeing what the distribution of the radioactivity was.)
It's not about "definitions", nor about "winning". It doesn't even matter which meaning of the word "atheism" will we use. When someone seriously suggests that absence of eternal punishment means no incentive to not be evil, it means it's them who fail to notice all the other incentives that may be there. I already understand their point of view - their incentive is very clear to me and would work on me had I believed it; while for some reason they seem incapable of understanding mine that come from elsewhere. Asserting that lack of religion is just another religion seems very similar - if all you know is religionful life, you may have a hard time trying to think about what being religionless actually look like. I know both, so it's easy for me.
Seems like the decision becomes a matter of whether you agree with the motive then.

But in this case.... the motive seems to be unknown.
From a programming language design space, it's much more like C++.

However it can occupy some niches that C can but C++ does poorly because of zero cost abstractions, I think.

I think the question you should be asking is why the email standard has not evolved in a way to give users more control. Like + addressing that gmail uses is a great user control but its not supported everywhere. Extending on features like that would really empower users to control content in their mail box more.

An idea I have is if i could do this:
‘<primary>@<controllable subdomain>.gmail.com’. Then change the subdomain part as i feel fit. Similar to plus addressing but dont allow no subdomain so its hard for marketters and spammers to remove.

Cone is one scenario to think about, but what it really comes down to is the fraction of the full sphere that your solid angle includes.

To make a 2D analogy, you can think of 2D angles as a portion of a circle represented as a fraction of 2pi radians. Cut it in half and you have pi radians, cut that in half (so a quarter of the circle) and you have pi/2 radians, or 90 degrees.

That 90 degrees "quarter of a circle" example is looking at it as the "point of a pie slice", but it's the same 90 degree 2D angle as you have in the corner of a square.

You can look at the corner of a cube the same way. The full sphere of solid angle is 4pi, a hemisphere is 2pi. Now take that hemisphere and cut it into quarters (1/8ths of a sphere). Each of those quarters is pi/2 steradians, and the solid angle at the center is the same solid angle represented by 1/8th of the sphere is the same solid angle you have at the corner of a cube.

Or to put it another way, you could pack the corners of 8 cubes around a point and it would leave no empty gaps, so the corner of each cube is occupying 1/8th of a "full" 4pi steradians.
More importantly: a cell phone's flash can never be significantly off-axis or diffuse. Flat and/or hard lighting is often worse than no lighting.

I bet you could get an off-camera flash to trigger off a cell phone's flash though.

> That's because ideas shouldn't be bundled together just because a person said them.

I think the exact opposite. I think if you’re cherry picking pieces of thought from a figure and ignoring the bits you don’t like then you’re just using them as a prop.

There is of course some complexity when someone changes over the lifetime and renounces early beliefs. But that isn’t the case here, we’re talking about people ignoring a large chunk of a celebrated man’s work because it makes them uncomfortable. I don’t think you can actually do that, and I think it does him and his legacy a great disservice to even try.

> We don't talk about King's socialism as much … and many people don't find socialism to be compelling (myself included).

> Hence, remembering ideas.

What, so the rest of what he said wasn’t ideas? Or that the rest of them have less value because someone said so? If so, who decides which ideas are the real ones to be remembered? You? Me? Our political chattering classes?

Here’s the thing, powerful people and instituons have long had a use for editing and celebrating dead radicals as a way to reinforce their legitimacy while also signaling that Those Times are Now Gone. You see the exact same behavior out of the July Monarchy in their rewriting the history of the three glorious days (see Mike Duncan for more). For King it is extremely convenient to make his story the story of official segregation and legal discrimination and nothing more. That neat narrative of “first segregation, then MLK made it all better, end story” only works if you ignore the rest of his work on war and poverty. Because if that is brought into the light then his work looks only half done, rather than done and finished.

That's not "simple". Rust also does neither of those two tasks with just the stdlib!

- latin1 is dead and should be in no stdlib in 2022
- uppercasing requires the current Unicode tables, so, a largish moving target that you probably don't want to embed in small programs.

What does become weird?
Stocks also don’t have a “true” value. Their price is driven entirely by supply and demand, which in turn is weakly anchored by investors doing fundamental valuations on the stock (there is more demand for an underpriced stock). The issue is that market manipulation is outright theft, usually from retail investors.

Think of it like playing blackjack. When I hit, I make a bet and I know roughly what the odds are that the bet will pay out. If the house was to manipulate the cards in the deck so that the odds are different, I would lose much more often then I should, and it would be theft. Similarly, if someone uses artificial demand to drive up the price of btc above the natural demand and I overpay, then they are selling to me at an unfair price. Eventually the price with fall to the natural price and I will lose money. Btc is weird because people keep buying more, but the principle is still the same.
If the price is going to go from 40k and 50k over the next few months, and the price is artificially raised to 45k (which is when I buy in this example) then even if I get out at 50k I’ve lost 5k of profits I would get if the market was fair.

So the short answer is that in any case of any market manipulation, it is theft from other investors. Usually (but not always) small retail investors.

Now the argument some crypto folks make is that market manipulation is part of this market, so take that how you will.
I actually liked Exposé a lot more in Tiger and Leopard than in Snow Leopard, where all windows were resized to a grid, and you lost relative window sizes as a visual cue.

Linux rant. why all desktop distros are flawed?

2. Ubuntu: Snap. Way too opinionated. Can't trust
3. Arch: not opinionated enough. I just want to get my work done.
4. EndeavourOS: going to die soon like antegros
5. Manjaro: weird. Delaying packages hasn't done anything about stability.
6. Gentoo: way too much work. Not opinionated at all.
7. Fedora: dnf is really slow. You need to google software you want and it leads you to some random blog to add some random repo.
8. SUSE: terrible documentation. Most useful threads are either in German or french.
9. Any other distro: not mainstream enough to find solutions for softwares that I need.
What should I do? Seriously. I just need something that take care of me, so I can do my work. Is macOS the only option here?

I agree there is a troubling bubble here. I just don't agree that the bubble in question has anything to do with crypto, as opposed to those getting their jollies dunking on crypto bros.

How many tweets do you have to read before you escape the bubble of OP and learn that the tweet is false...? (By my count, you have to go through 320 HN comments before you will find the first deeply-buried comment pointing out that OP is false and the buyers believed no such thing; this submission is at +501 points, BTW.) Here is a quote from an article published well over a month before OP tweeted: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/amansethi/spicedao-dune...

"Now that they have won the bid, Saqib and his associates must make good on their promise to bring the bible to the people and prove that their fundraising approach was not just a gimmick.

As things stand, Saqib still owns Jodorowsky’s bible but is in the process of transferring ownership to the DAO. Meanwhile, the copyrights for the bible’s contents are held by multiple artists and their estates. Jodorowsky is now 92 years old; Jean Giraud, or Moebius, the legendary French illustrator who did all the storyboards, died in 2012; H.R. Giger, who designed the creepy home planet of the House of Harkonnen, died two years later.

“We can’t just scan it and put it on the internet,” Fang said. But by raising the money as a DAO, Fang said they hoped to show the various estates and stakeholders that there is a massive online interest in making the bible more accessible to the public."

They explicitly acknowledge they do not 'own the IP' and can't just scan it etc and it is positioning for negotiation for the actual IP.
It’s an interesting question to me what these towns will do going forward. If participation in the global economy is required to maintain a first-world standard of living, what will these towns produce that the rest of the world wants?

Some will farm or extract natural resources, but these operations require fewer people than they used to, so fewer towns. Some will be holiday destinations for city-dwellers. But we will probably sustain far fewer of these towns than we have historically.

Hmm, it seems like you're suggesting setting up a system where the private and public sectors keep the other in-check, with incentives to make sure it happens. But I see some practical points of concern, e.g. in most rent-controlled housing, the rent (eventually) gets to be much lower than the private market - thus removing pressure that customers will leave. Also, historically most governments seem to have no trouble getting votes even as their services become more and more inefficient over time. I guess I just don't see it working as you described. But its quite possible that I'm just too cynical! :)
Having found some in vendors' native macos apps (a private key for an IAM user that happened to have the Administrator managed policy attached to it, to boot), I would personally not be the least bit surprised to find them in mobile apps.
I would assume that bunch of these processes are mandated by the regulatory bodies – at least in EU. So while they may have some unique processes, it is unlikely that they can avoid the requirement for traceability.
Have you tried gephi? It's not exactly an alternative to graphviz (eg. you can't cluster nodes) but it handles much larger graphs and has a bit more flexibility in layout. It has plugins for both dot and neo4j input.
