No, it's the "the counter culture grew up and became the establishment" syndrome. That's how one can seem to have switched camps without changing one's values at all.
So you mean for example, you keep your Authenticator app on a device completely separate from your phone / disconnected from the internet?
I have a feeling that what we're seeing is a technological issue. I don't believe that most people in politics understand or know how to use the internet, so to them their tactics make sense: obfuscate and manage information for the citizens, because what's needed is their approval, not understanding. Common tactics for this include simply pretending there is no information which runs counter to their narratives, or slandering those who speak out against them.

They don't seem to realize that the internet makes their tactics extremely visible to anyone who has a memory and access to a search engine. All of their statements are semi-permanently somewhere on the internet, in chronological order.

They do realize there's a problem however, and their response has been to infiltrate the floundering but still widely respected legacy media companies and attempt to get tech companies to support their narratives. This is also clearly visible to many people, but not known widely enough to stop them.

In effect, they're competent in 20th century propaganda techniques, but unable to convincingly adapt them to the 21st century, and that's why we're seeing this insanity. There are a lot of people who distrust them out of instinct, but are unable to articulate their distrust with proper information, and so come up with wild claims (like Bill Gates microchipping people). There are others who straight up reveal the truth (Snowden, Assange) and get "taken out" one way or another.

Many other people have a vested interest in wanting to believe the institutions, either out of fear or because they are benefiting from the status quo in some way - ie. the Zoom class. They rationalize the unethical propagandizing and attacks on human rights as being "for the greater good" and participate in the essentially state-sponsored slandering of opposing voices.

What's dangerous is that people are becoming more and more detached from reality, one way or the other - propaganda or conspiracy theory. Of course, on some level the propagandists are right: there is a lot of misinformation on the internet. They however refuse to acknowledge that they are on the other side of the same coin, or that they are in fact the ones with all the power.
The point of this project isn't necessarily to make a useful tool but for the author to demonstrate to his girlfriend that he cares about her and is willing to stop what he's doing to listen.
Indeed. Sets are not doors, as the saying goes, because they can be open and closed at the same time.
You're missing the point. Who gets to determine what is 'misinformation?' I think you'll find if you look back a year or so it was the government representatives and 'MSM' defining it, not leading scientists (some of which have since been 'discredited' because they supposedly suddenly turned to nuttiness).

And little seems said, but I can't help notice the quite communist behaviour to demand the state mandate 'choices' for the populance wholesale 'for the greater good.' Especially knowing the vaccines don't stop the virus or the spread.

Protecting information is not censorship, and your example highlights an incredible ignorance of what censorship (which is a government tool the first amendment is specifically designed around) actually is.
Simple is beautiful. Some people don't use frameworks for simple stuff. I sometimes create low-tech websites just using html+css with a minimal jquery. The speed is insane compared to usual web 2.0 sites.
> Pretty much everyone uses Discord now

This statement is indicative of living in a bubble but being unaware that it exists.
> Pretty much everyone uses Discord now.

Errm. No. Not everyone uses Discord now. When making general statements like that it always helps to keep a bit of perspective: am I or am I not involved in a crowd that on average is more likely than other such crowds to be using piece of software 'x'?

At any one point in time 'everybody uses IRC', 'everbody uses ICQ', 'everybody uses Messenger' and so on would have all been equally false.

Almost everybody who is not a child in the developed world has a mobile phone. But not all of those are smartphones and there are still large numbers of people in the world who don't have any of this, nor do they have internet access (about 40% of the people, some because they are too young, some too old and some for other reasons), which is a pre-requisite for using something like discord.

By the time you're done with taking all this into account you end up with a paltry 140M MAU, a far cry from 'pretty much everyone'.
Some spiritual traditions and teachers (e.g classical yoga) treat this as a trap, it’s highly advised to forget about your practice and go about your day after the daily session. They maintain that the lifestyle will adjust (or not) naturally depending on one’s needs, and those needs are usually not what the ego wants at least in its initial condition. This includes talking to others about your practice in particular unacquainted ones, any drastic adjustments to one’s diet, schedule. Any sort of excitement or obsession about the practice are detrimental, at least from the classical yoga technology perspective. But then again as the top comment says this really depends on the approach, it seems like marketing such Oriental practices as productivity/wellness hacks with immediate effects provides more excitement and profitability than just following your sensations while steadily performing a few easy looking and un-complicated asanas.
Curious as to where the tech got to just before the end.

If you're genuinely critiquing the security of this implementation of the Vigenere cipher - don't worry. The Vigenere cipher itself is known to not be very secure at all. Cryptalaysis and cracking it is piss easy (at least when the message and key isn't extremely long I suppose). Nobody should be using this to secure actual sensitive information ever.
> I find it really interesting that the author's example assumes that the read() and send() calls are the ones you need to worry about w/r/t exceptions.

I didn't read it that way. In my view, the article is explaining a mental model where async code & panics are similar/related in a possible abstract mental model. He's using that snippet of code which from an async perspective, one could reasonably expect that the file or network IO is worth async waiting on but parsing is not.

But I don't think the author assumes parsing couldn't raise an exception since he states at the beginning: "If the parse function or the send function were to throw an exception, whatever data had just been read (and maybe parsed) would be lost.".
I have something like this for myself: a server listens for POSTs on LAN, plays a loud customizable sound on speaker, macOS pops up a persistent alert through a Shortcut, and all iOS devices receive an urgent push notification through Pushover. I can hook arbitrary high priority jobs and watchers to it since it only takes an HTTP request to activate.

> We're in a world were people think that Bill Gates is inserting microchips into people and that Covid is a hoax by the world government and no one has died. Academia may be broken - but don't loose [sic] faith in science.

No, that is the strawman world constructed by the mainstream media. The microchip story is actually: https://news.rice.edu/news/2019/quantum-dot-tattoos-hold-vac...

We see the same thing in the reporting of the Canadian trucker protests. There are 10,000+ peacefully protesting people, the media find three with a swastika flag (which could even be a literal false flag operation), and reports "right wing protests".

They also report the "desecration of an unknown soldier's memorial", which was a single woman basically walking on the monument. Compare that with "mostly peaceful" BLM protests, where whole cities were burning and monuments were actually destroyed.
Weird.. We're seeing the exact opposite in Spain. Deaths from the Omikron wave which infected millions were much lower than the influenza epidemics of recent years.

However vaccination rates here are > 80% (> 60% boosters, and most of the younger people have only been able to get them for the last week or so)

The Omikron wave is also on a sharp path down here already.
That all sounds disturbingly like you kinda are okay with Joe Rogan and Bret Weinstein spreading nonsense about how vaccines are killing people and how ivermectin is better than vaccination.
I believe GPC is considered legally binding under CCPA.

The DSA proposal also has language that appears to be intended to make such headers legally binding: "In order to avoid fatiguing recipients who refuse to consent, terminal equipment settings that signal an objection to processing of personal data should be respected."
"the outcome of objection is death."

99% of the population recovers, maybe you are engaging in hyperbole?
Too many draws is not a new criticism. Capablanca believed in the risk of "draw death", in that the majority of grandmaster games would eventually end in draws. He proposed a change to chess boards introducing two new pieces, the archbishop and the chancellor.

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

He wasn't the first to propose these sorts of changes (see the Wikipedia article).

In 1925, his comments on why he proposed these things is as follows:

"I spoke with Dr Tartakower, a great master and also a friend of mine, and he published, in very condensed form, my ideas on certain reforms that I believed it would be appropriate to make in chess. I told him that previously in various newspapers and magazines things had been attributed to me which I had never said, and this seemed to me a good opportunity to clarify the facts and to expound the only modifications that I really considered appropriate, while at the same time clarifying that it was untrue that I had ever declared that chess had reached its limit and that to draw was easy. It is of course easy to understand how much has been written and said on this matter. In reality, what I have heard and read on it demonstrates that I have not been understood."

"...In reality, today there exists, as it were, a separate form of chess, which is understood only by the most select of the great masters, and which very often relies on a highly-developed technique which already today threatens to make talent equal to genius; that would make chess rather similar to what the game of draughts is today. Thus despite the old history of chess and the thousands of books written on chess played on a 64-square board, it is necessary to avoid what would undoubtedly be a disaster. In order to prevent, for a few centuries at least, technique from again becoming such a dominant factor, I have suggested increasing the field of operations."

Yes, I feel like Jekyll was the first to make static sites "cool". Maybe because of github that made it super easy to create a site based on Jekyll, without having to compile it locally then upload to FTP or whatever.

In the early days, it seemed like static sites were for programmers who didn't really understand the web, or only had hosting for static content.

Lua's a little more opaque than Python or JS, a little more flexible, a little more bug-prone, and a lot simpler. But those aren't the reasons VLC and Wireshark and WoW use Lua instead of Python or JS; they use it because it's enormously less costly to embed. Imagine you decide to switch from Lua to Python for your game. Now you have:

- 3600 kilobytes of bloat instead of 110;

- a huge and bug-prone ABI to deal with to make sure Python doesn't inject memory leaks;

- Python assholes publicly shaming you for using an unfashionable version of Python.

Not really. The only thing that needs to be offloaded is the record encapsulation (the format of which has remained backwards compatible) and the encryption/decryption (which is limited to AES-GCM for all intents and purposes). The handshake and the control messages can still be handled in software, since those aren't in the critical path.
I think it happens if you kill somebody, and after a while other characters will eventually kneel down by them and eat their corpse.

It's just something dark and funny I remember hearing Will mention in passing once, but I never saw it documented anywhere or tried it out myself. Maybe he was joking, but that's just the kind of easter egg he would lay.

Determining if it's true would be a fun software archeology task! ;) You could disassemble the behavior tree code (it used a predecessor to the SimAntics visual programming language in The Sims, which is well documented online), or you could just go around killing people and watching what happened.

And as you probably discovered, the easiest way to kill someone was with your helicopter blades. And then the game rewards you by paying you to bring their mangled bodies to the hospital.

That was especially problematic when the himbo easter egg was active, since there were so many hundreds of himbos swarming around your helicopter, it was practically impossible not to slaughter many of them.

Make sure your big $$$ are not available easily. Find a bank/brokerage that will actually do their job verifying you before they dispense your money.

You are not able to defend yourself from targeted attacks. Period.

It is one thing to try to defend from attacks of opportunity (ie. viruses, ransomware, etc.) and another from people who actually know their job and for some reason find yourself attractive target.

Thus, the best way to respond is to not make yourself attractive target in the first place and if you need to have attractive things somewhere -- separate them from everything else.
2FA is a good option for securing your centralized accounts. But unfortunately, if you're logged in on your phone and your phone is hacked, well, it's still game over.

For crypto currencies it may help to store them on a hardware wallet, since accessing your money will require explicit interaction. But, as far as I understand (please correct me, not up to date with the security mechanisms of hardware wallets), if your computer is compromised while doing it, you can still lose it.
The science system isn't perfect, scientists are just people, and if you start out with an overly naive view of what the science system is like (as I once did!) you might get disappointed.

Still, you're take is wildly, overly cynical.

At the end of the day science is nothing more than systematically looking for explanations that help to make predictions. There is no way that that doesn't converge on something useful, since every explanation that is of any consequence will ultimately be put to the test and it will become entirely obvious whether it is useful or not.

And so here we are, computers compute, drugs are effective, airplanes don't fall from the sky. Is there uncertainty at the margins? Sure! But no one who proclaims to know things better than "the scientists" due to some fundamental flaw in "science" as whole has anything to say that would be worth listening to.

Because that's not how the world works. Understanding things is not about picking the right team, it's about deeply engaging with the data and formulating logical hypotheses. And once you're doing that, you're now also a scientist.

Edit: To add a bit of personal experience to the somewhat theoretical argument above... I've met a lot of good people and a lot of assholes in academia. I've certainly met a lot of people who liked to make their results sound a bit more important than they probably really were. Never once have I met someone who didn't ultimately care about drawing valid conclusions from good data.
Locke also has great educational advice. For learning Latin, he claims that beating children isn't effective. (No wonder no one learns Latin any more) He proposes books that interleave between the latin and the English. Neat idea.

This article seems to admire capitalism? And focus only on economics.

Aside from that. It is impressive how it missed the MS-DOS deal with IBM, subsequent dropping OS/2 and finally WinNT. How Microsoft was never forced to compete with UNIX - but Linux - because the Reagan administration allowed AT&T to leave monopoly control and ruin UNIX. It doesn't talk much about developers and actual ecosystems. Buying and investing is a necessity but the core is information technology.

Amazon started breaking out operating income separately in 2013, and the rest of the business has made a profit every year since then. The US retail operation now brings in as much profit as AWS, though some of that is offset by losses in their rest-of-the-world retail business.

You can read the proof as saying that for any finite set of primes, there is a prime number outside the set. And within the context of Euclid's proof, given the set {A,B,C} of primes, the proof constructs a prime G outside of it.

Within constructive logic, there are different non-equivalent definitions of infiniteness (that are all equivalent in classical logic):

- A set is non-finite if its finiteness leads to a contradiction.

- A set is infinite if any finite subset of it can be extended.

Infiniteness implies non-finiteness, but non-finiteness does not imply infiniteness. Further discussion can be found here: http://nlab-pages.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/nlab/show/infin...

Within the context of the MathOverflow answer, the claim that Euclid's proof establishes infiniteness as opposed to non-finiteness, is correct. And the proof is therefore not "by contradiction", because that would only show non-finiteness.

[edit] Edited out some impoliteness.

Reading about unfamiliar mathematics always gives me empathy for my 7yo's struggles to remember and work with basic arithmetic notation. It's only obvious once you've internalized it! Until then it's completely arbitrary and you constantly need to remind yourself what all the squiggles on the page really mean, which is hard when you're still trying to wrap your minds around the concepts themselves.
Which is really shitty behavior from a browser that wants to claim to care about privacy.

But even without a referer it gives Google some information, even if its just that this user (ip, useragent, other identifying bits) is currently exists.
The advantage of centralized services tied to your clear identity is that they do some diligence to ensure the person accessing your account is actually you. You (often) even have a reasonable recourse to undo things that have been done fraudulently.
I buy used furniture. There is an insane amount of good quality used furniture that is sold or even given away for free. What you have to look out for is that it is made of good quality wood i.e. not particle board or other engineered woods. Everything else is then up to your taste.

I do not do it because I am cheap. You literally cannot find the same quality as new. I know because my uncle is a carpenter. The only way to get the same quality new is to commission the piece yourself, but then it takes lots of time and lots and lots of money. And I refuse to furnish my house with IKEA particleboard crap.
