My take on this is that you always have plausible deniability when you deny freedoms "for security." I don't like it.

Blocking everything except Chrome would immediately raise way too many eyebrows, but allowing the few big (non-) competitors while making life hard for any potential rising stars has value if you want to maintain the status quo (near monopoly on browser market).

In any case, I don't really even care about Google's motivations here. I have a problem with the fact that they can do this at all. Open technology should not enable overriding user control and arbitrarily blocking clients based on prejudice.

> And I'll assume you also believe LBJ didn't harbor a racist thought when he passed landmark civil rights legislation as a senator and as president.

No, actually, in fact, my argument is that LBJ's passage of landmark civil rights legislation despite any other shortcomings is admirable, and on-net he is justifiably respected for it, to the extent that politicians today still appeal to LBJ and the desire to govern like LBJ.

> We don't believe our politicians' words match their thoughts even when televised live. Why should we then take them at their word from crumbling parchment dating back hundreds of years?

We judge politicians based on a variety of things; their words, the legislation they pass, etc. If the legislation they pass helps drive progress (in whichever dimension/axis) that weighs heavily on how society views them. The "crumbling parchment dating back hundreds of years" contains a variety of ideals/provisions/rights/protections that one could conceivably support today without also supporting slavery. The country takes them at their word from that piece of parchment because the country, largely speaking, buys into the ideals laid out within it.

> Well, at least we can agree that their innermost thoughts are largely besides the point of what the Constitution actually says.

Precisely, and one can be in favor of what the Constitution actually says today without ever condoning racism or slavery.

Yep, one of my systems got this treatment. It's annoying because OOM has been an issue ever since. I'm playing with EarlyOOM and trying to remember if it'll be a huge pain to resize the partition for more swap space. Thanks for your reply.

> Cool, our hypothesis has been validated. This should be easy to fix: if we sync the log when we open it, we should guarantee that no unsynced reads are ever served:

I'm not sure this is accurate in general. If fsync fails (either before or after the crash), the dirty pages will be marked as clean, but may never make it to disk. I think the only solution to this problem that is reasonably portable is to use direct IO.

The author pointed out this line to me on Twitter:

I'll leave my comment for others to read, but yes if fsync is deemed reliable that solution seems OK.

Yes, I'm talking about the recent movements (North of Ukraine, from the eastern MD mostly). Which are of course extremely uncertain. And all that is seen is obviously trains with vehicles, not troops - so reports of e.g. "100k troops" are referring to (I'm assuming) the number of vehcicles, whether or not the troops have arrived or not, as they arrive later than the vehciles on the train. Keeping people fed and housed when waiting is a lot harder and more expensive than keeping tanks and APCs parked.
I've always found it interesting that many meditation techniques involve "emptying the mind" or "clearing the mind" of thought.

While practicing concentration on a single point of focus definitely seems useful for strengthening the mind, I'm not sure that practicing a state of being completely devoid of thought is necessarily healthy. I would rather meditate on being full of thought, and thinking of many things simultaneously, or meditate on focus in a high distraction environment.

I wonder if there are meditation styles that embrace this?
That's interesting. 500 and 302 popped into my head as common HTTP status codes. The others don't seem notable to me.

>So, TL;DR: the particular sweetener doesn't define the taste of the whole drink, it really depends if I will like it or not.

To me, artificial sweeteners instantly overpower the taste of anything I drink. I'm not a big fan of (regular) Coca-Cola, either, but no matter the drink, artificial sweeteners just ruin the whole experience. Compared to anything with an artificial sweetener, Coca-Cola might as well be the best thing ever.

The way I understand it (and I might be totally wrong here) is that ipfs links do contain the hash of the file stored, so by putting an ifps link as the token URI you are both providing the content hash as well as a way to actually locate the content.

Accessibility is about much more than aria tags. When done well it is a holistic approach that benefits any user. It really shines when included in the design process because it can depend on how information is organized. Having a rational flow to the sections of content pages helps anyone. For example, modals are often a cheat to escape good content design. Also, every site that I have made an effort to implement accessibility had SEO benefits.

Go back in time and tell people about the technical power we have in 2022. Then tell them to imagine what we do with it. And finally explain to them that the vast majority of it is used to sell us goods and services we mostly don't need.
I'm not sure of a name, but Tiddlywiki does this. You create hierarchies by having tags by creating an item with the tag as its name which causes all items with said tag to be a child of that item. This has a nice side effect of allowing items to exist in multiple locations (so no unique parent is enforced) while still requiring the graph to be acyclic.

It ends up working kind of like hard links for folders/files, but it is a lot easier to setup since child items are the ones which declare where they are located, not the parents/directories. I think another reason why hard links are more difficult to use than this particular system is that with Tiddlywiki, it is easy to see all the locations an item falls under at once as well as seeing all the items at a particular location. I feel like adding this reverse location information would be quite helpful and would be less of a change than implementing tags for existing filesystems.
Aren't there some contradictions there?

You say upthread that they believe the thing they are trying to convince us of. You also say that they are competently using tricks to fool us into believing the thing that they believe is true. Why would they be fooling us into believing something that they believe to be true? And if they were, would that even be deceptive?

This doesn't seem coherent to me. What am I missing?
"A random process is a function indexed by a random key."

Not just wrong, wildly bad nonsense.

Go get some data. Now you have the value of a random variable.

We don't get clear on just what random means, and in random variable we do not assume some element of not knowing. In particular truly random is nonsense.

Suppose we have a non-empty set I and for each i in I we have a random variable X_i (using TeX notation for a subscript). Then the I and the set of all X_i is a random process or a stochastic process. We might write (X_i, I) or some such notation.

Commonly the set I is an interval subset of the real line and denotes time. Set I might be half of the real line or all of it or just some interval, e.g., [0,1].

The set I might be just the numbers

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

for, say, playing with dice with the usual six sides.

I might be the integers in [1, 52] for considering card games.

But the set I might be all the points on the surface of a sphere for considering, say, the weather, maybe the oceans, etc.

The set I might be all pairs (t, x, y, z) where t is a real number denoting time and the other three are coordinates in ordinary 3-space.

A random variable can also be considered a function with domain a probability space O. So for random variable Y, for each w in O, Y(w) is the value of the random variable Y at sample w. Right, the usual notation has capital Greek omega for O and lower case Greek omega for w.

Then for a particular w and stochastic process X with index set I, all the X_t(w) as t varies is a sample path of the process X. E.g., a plot of the stock marked DJI for yesterday is part of such a sample path. So, with stochastic processes, what we observe are sample paths.

That's a start on stochastic processes. Going deep into the field gets to be difficult quickly. Just quickly, look for names Kolmogorov, Dynkin, Doob, Ito, Shiryaev, Skorokhod, Rockafellar, Cinlar, Strook, Varadhan, Mckean, Blumenthal, Getoor, Fleming, Bertsekas, Karatzas, Shreve, Neveu, Tulcea(s).

For some of the flavor of probability theory and stochastic processes, see the article on liftings at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_theory

I had the main book on liftings, I'd gotten for $1 at a used book store (not a big seller) but lost it in a recent move.

What is accessibility, exactly?

I think the name says a lot: access ability.

To me, it means allowing to access.

There is no word disability anywhere in there. It has nothing to do with disability.

It is about thinking ahead about different scenarios and situations you users could find themselves in and trying to address them.

Is a slow or unreliable connection an accessibility issue?

Well, does it prevent someone from accessing your service?

What if someone has an older browser and has no control over it, unable to upgrade either the device or the software?

Will your service refuse service to them?

Vision impaired and such "extreme" accessibility challenges are only the tip of the iceberg, and I think most Web developers today are hiding their head in the sand, creating a rather rude experience for all except those privileged enough to be both physically able and not situationally impaired.

I thought I'd read over `Data.Linear.Array` before, but maybe not? My intuition for linear types would be that for any function that uses the array you basically almost always want to return a pair of the value and new linear version of the array (i.e. `Res a (const (arr t))`). The only exceptions are a set of "terminal" operations that convert it to a non-linear type (in this case probably the things that end up returning an `IArray`).

So I'm a bit confused why e.g. `read` is `(1 _ : arr t) -> Int -> Maybe t` and not `(1 _ : arr t) -> Int -> Res (Maybe t) (const (arr t))`.

But also isn't the `newArray` fixed by just rewrapping the output?

data Unrestricted : Type -> Type where
MkUnrestricted : a -> Unrestricted a

newArray : (size : Int) -> (1 _ : (1 _ : arr t) -> Unrestricted a) -> Unrestricted a

-- You'll need this if you actually make use of the outer linear multiplicity
-- in the function argument to newArray
-- which is also why newArray returns Unrestricted
useUnrestricted : (1 _ : Unrestricted a) -> (a -> b) -> b
useUnrestricted (MkUnrestricted x) f = f x

This is e.g. how Linear Haskell does it. The unrestricted multiplicity of the argument to `MkUnrestricted` prevents the bug here by only allowing you to output non-linear things (so it rejects wrapping the linear input in `MkUnrestricted`; you have to first convert it via a terminal operation into something else).

The entire `Data.Linear.Array` seems to be in need of a once-over unless I'm misunderstanding something.

EDIT: Never mind, reading too quickly, I see the mread now that has the signature I'd imagine it should.

I recall seeing a talk given by Jeff Bezos years ago at some university where he described the early versions of the Amazon web site. One of the more interesting bugs was one that allowed a customer to enter a negative quantity of items to order, which meant that Amazon would credit your account and wait for you to send them the books.

I think it's fixed now.
> Without copyright you cannot write contracts about creative works, because there is no value to exchange.

There is no value even with copyright. Its value is made up, created via artificial scarcity whose days became numbered the minute computers were invented. There's no point in perpetuating this system.

The true value is the labor of creators. Data is abundant. Creators are rare. They need to somehow get paid for the labor of creating rather than copies of the finished product.

> Creative works without legal protection are free and therefore cannot be investments or subscriptions.

We can invest in the creator. Paying them up front like investments, or continuously every month like patronage.

> You don’t need to eliminate intellectual property to preserve general purpose computing. You just have to change the guardrails on how IP enforcement works.

I'm not convinced the copyright industry will ever stop. The situation gets worse every year. How is this supposed to change with copyright holders still around? Their lobbying power is immense.

> They’ve changed many times and they can change again.

They've changed for the worse. How many times has copyright duration been extended? How many of our rights eroded? Fair use rights? Public domain rights? They mean nothing anymore. When was the last time some work entered the public domain?
It absolutely should apply to psychological experiments as well. If you can't see that treating fellow humans as lab rats for you to experiment on is deeply problematic, then you're an actual sociopath.

I don't care how you rationalize it, as long as there is any sort of intervention, you need informed consent.
This is a very short post, but basically, yes. This is quite common, especially with regards to UI redesigns. Sometimes, companies will redesign an interface to make it easier or more accessible for newer users at the cost of removing complicated features or shortcuts that are beneficial to fewer power users. Sometimes that tradeoff is deliberate; the company will expect to lose those users in hopes of gaining more overall.
ENS sounds like it adds a weird requirement that your IP can only change when gas prices are low. If your IP gets issues and some new crypto dad is going, you've gotta wait to get your DNS working again, or pay through the roof to the folks who run ethereum.

Does needing to change you IP correlate closely with ethereum transactions being cheap that day or something?

I see, then we're not really disagreeing on much.

On net, one can deeply agree with Jefferson while overlooking (or perhaps even excusing) his alleged hypocrisy, especially considering that his written word carried a lot of weight in helping to legitimize the abolitionist cause (indeed, to the chagrin of the Confederates, per the Cornerstone Speech).

All I'll say in addition is that the modern day cultural effort to eradicate our Founding Fathers from our institutions (i.e. "telling [us] not to respect Jefferson") is anathema to that.

There are few good ones. Oil would be a much better one of course (because less painful for the west while more painful for russia). I don't believe any (further) economic sanctions like SWIFT would help much tbh. The thing about the Gas thing that it's not only economic, it's a sword that Russia has dangling over a part of continental Europe too. I think they fear losing that more than the income.

And the Gas dependency is going away. Perhaps it's worth ripping off the bandaid. It's only Germany and parts of eastern/central europe that still heats up with gas right (Asking from Northern Europe where I don't think we ever did ).

It's getting to the point, that when a mainstream outlet starts pushing for something on moral grounds, you can almost guarantee there's some shading pharma pay off behind the PR stunt, then when you dig a little deeper, the very standards of evidence have been perverted and agencies are blindingly corrupt. Then, rather than need to convince people or fool you or your doctor, the push is to use legislation and taxpayer based payment to compel people to be stooges, even if they weren't fooled themselves.

I challenge this. I accept that there are ambiguities, but I assert that you can go really fast by just telling someone to fetch a few columns by name.

I further assert that if your database is filled with "Id" and "name" columns, instead of "department_name" and similar, you are probably as likely to mess up a join as any benefit you get from the name being short. (And really, what advantage is there in short names nowadays?)

That all said. I worded my take too strongly. My point should have been that auto suggest should not be confined in either direction.
