I really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing. My takeaway is don't be afraid to put an unreasonable amount of time towards something.

It reminds me of PG's essay "The Bus Ticket Theory of Genius", which is like a hack on this idea. If you're obsessively interested in something, you're bound to spend an unreasonable amount of time on it.

Taking it even farther, there's a Revisionist History episode on the song Hallelujah, who's original version took over two years to write. The two components to "experimental" genius: time and iteration.

And neither of those are censorship.

To refute sloppy analysis, the sloppy analysis must be published and available.
Very true, and I have been following this pull request implementing Async Queryset with interest:

https://github.com/django/django/pull/14843

So far they are only going down the the queryset level, it then uses a thread pool for the db connector, next job would be to support async db connections.
OP(?) here, gunapologist99 makes a good point in that I painted with too broad a brush stroke.

Most of the evangelicals I know are actually amazing people and are not like this at all. They are generous, kind, forgiving...but they are also humble and quiet and don't make a bunch of noise or stir up trouble. Unless you live with them, nobody really hears about this kind of Christian.

Its just that there is a certain vein of folk that really focus on what everyone else should and should not be doing. Kenneth Copeland style. That's who I was referencing, but did a sloppy job of distinguishing them.

Anyway.
There are many programs and programming languages designed primarily to elicit an emotional response, particularly from other programmers. I don't think this invalidates the thesis that programs themselves can be works of art.
Doubtful. You're probably into the range of diminishing returns with those. Switching will get you something different, and possibly more to your tastes, or more comfortable, not necessarily objectively better.

I personally love the sound of electrostatic speakers and would try an affordable pair of electrostatic headphones as a step up from that class of open-back dynamic headphones if I were in the market today, but I don't listen to headphones as much as I used to.
It sounds like I didn’t misunderstand your top comment after all.
Yeah, and a software provider hiding a non-cancel clause somewhere in a dozens of pages after the deal "contrat" doesn't impact on your legal obligations either.

It's hard to build systems with hard real-time requirements with GHC Haskell.

The vast majority of systems people build do not have hard real-time requirements. People have built video games, real-time audio, and all sorts of other soft-real-time systems with Haskell
If you’re behind a reverse proxy, like NGINX, you could log the traffic and customize the log lines to be more verbose.

After you could index these log files into a search engine, like Elastic Search and perform queries / dashboards through Kibana.

This is the typical stack, so I’m not sure if you’re looking something more sophisticated.
Agreed. I have written some video games that work across several platforms and in my experience, GNU/Linux was the easiest platform to handle by far.

> though less so when cross-compiling to different architectures

If what you develop isn't very expensive to compile, cross-compiling can be super easy as well - you can just `docker run` a foreign architecture image with qemu-user and have it work exactly the same as it would natively (just much slower).

You're literally stating something as a fact that you have no evidence of. Sounds like misinformation to me.

> I am currently dealing with a chargeback team for another company, and the amount of time they’ve dedicated into challenging me likely exceeds the chargeback value itself.

For the company the value is in keeping their chargeback rate down, not in the money itself. If your chargeback rate gets too high it becomes increasingly difficult and expensive to find a card processor who will work with you.

I'm sure there is a future out there where basic programming concepts are taught universally, which would rather broaden the appeal of art programs. Surely literature couldn't thrive in a society that was substantially illiterate. That doesn't mean it wasn't always a true art form.

Oh, I _do_ understand. I just happen to realize that the people who claim that there is "zero science to support vaccine passports or other restrictions, and frankly there never was" do not know the first thing that they’re talking about. There is substantial evidence in both epidemiological data _and_ in socio-psychological data that all of the measures taken over the last year have worked (and it is, in fact, the waffling inconsistency and grift of populist governments like Doug Ford’s which have caused the waves to slope the way that they have).

Amongst governments that have been driven by science and not by pseudo-scientific bullshit covering crypto-capitalist garbage (like New Zealand), the subsequent waves have been smaller and more contained—and they have _not_ returned to the levels of lockdowns required. What makes vaccine passports required are people who refuse to give the first damned care about their fellow citizens. AND THEY WORK. Vaccination appointment went _up_ when SAQ implemented vaccine passport requirements.

There are no charter rights being violated either by the lockdowns or by vaccine mandates. Your statement about "minority rights" is extremely disingenuous, as minority rights are not about people who _choose_ not to do something based on misinformation and disinformation, but on characteristics of who they are (skin colour, Indigenous, etc.), where they are from, the languages they speak, their gender and/or orientation, the culture from which they hail, and/or religions that they practice (and courts tend _not_ to pay much attention to any claim of minority status without historical evidence of discrimination against claimed minorities). The assholes in the Truck Tantrum are — by and large — WASPy conspiracy believers. They are the exact _opposite_ of minority, and exactly why they need to be laughed out of town.

I have no problem with them protesting. I also have no problem with laughing at them because they are claiming things which are demonstrably false and are whining over loss of privilege as if it were the same as real discrimination. People who _choose_ to be antisocial like the Flu Truck Convoy jackasses don’t get to claim that they’re discriminated against because society tells them to take a hike.
"Evil" is normally used for people that do worse actions than overbill their customers. "Fraudster" applies better here.
Yet, on planes your travel even as a passenger can be restricted with no due process, judicial oversight and sometimes as a double punishment.

I mean, if DHS or other TLAs flag a person as a threat, they should be able to do something about it... just not "you are on a list now because we say so" and no oversight or appeals process. This is not liberty or a free society. In a free society you don't have "national emergency" that spans multiple generations (20+yrs now) that allows overriding peoples rights and liberties.

The airlines should be allowed to refuse service so long as they are not coordinating a ban list, and even then.

Is this essentially going to be an investigation in which they find that which has made people butthurt is something they signed away in the terms & conditions they never read? Seems like it. Good on GoFundMe.
Thank you again! There is a lot that goes into quality search and recommendations, and I was just a small piece of a great team.
Look, I don’t like scanning either, but I also don’t support all the FUD or false information spread about it.

For example, I would like the option to have my images scanned client-side so I could get E2E without Congress having a moral panic. Fair trade. The fact that the scanning was optional seems to have been forgotten.

Secondly, there’s also Apple’s anti-abuse strategy, which is that images only enter the database if they appear in databases from multiple governments.

That’s a long way from mandatory client-side scanning for misinformation. Also, you cannot tell me an evil country would not just have ordered client-side scanning at any time in the last decade. It’s not some revolutionary new idea.
That's only "charitable" to the giant company. It's not so charitable to the people who say they were confused in good faith and signed up for something they wouldn't have signed up for if they had understood it.

These people exist and have made themselves known in the OP Twitter thread and other HN comments on this post.

I can't help but wonder if all this "how can people not understand" is just thinly-veiled contempt for people who don't have the same background or way of thinking or interpreting words as you do.

Who gives a shit about those people, am I right? Who cares if they're on the hook for hundreds they didn't expect to have to pay. Good on Adobe for imposing that stupidity tax on lesser minds than yours!
Even ignoring the fact that sidewalks end at every intersection and the potholes others mention, the relative speed difference is too large. Pedestrian: 5km/hour, cyclist (conservative) 15km/hour. For cars inside big cities 30km/hour seems reasonable (https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/plugged-in/cities-where... claims 19km/hour in inner London).
The article says they've changed their stance and that's exactly what they're doing.
What hosts are best for running a mail server? I have the same issue.
We know that for a long time. I'm just saying that despite having 93% of the adult population vaccinated (-18 yo do not need the vaccine pass to go anywhere) , and our ICU beds occupation rate being only 70% at the highest omicron peak, our politicians still refuse to call it an end.

"Being done" with covid is only a political decision, and no percentage appears to be high enough for them.
An annoying thing about the word "lie" is that it is defined in some definitions as "an assertion of something known or believed by the speaker or writer to be untrue with intent to deceive". By this definition it is impossible to unintentionally lie. Another definition of lie is "an untrue or inaccurate statement that may or may not be believed true by the speaker or writer". You'll find both definitions at [1]. This makes this discussion about what Colin Powell said difficult, because as you point out, it's hard to know to what extent Powell actually knew for sure that he was making false statements about Iraq, given the assessment of foot soldiers at the CIA and the intent of Saddam to mislead the West for his own benefit.

Ok. Those are completely different issues to the one we are discussing. We were talking about accessing credentials and funds when somebody dies. Swapping to talking about incorrect account closures or inflation is just changing the subject.

Yes, nobody can close your wallet (well sort of, big players like Coinbase or OpenSea can absolutely treat your wallet as poisoned and refuse to transact with you).

This is a frustrating component of the discussion about crypto. “It is better for survivors” shouldn’t be defended with “inflation is bad.”
Email is a fundamentally broken protocol which has become less and less important, I don't really get the point of running your own server except as a technical exercise.

Set up your email wherever is convenient, encrypt stuff that matters, and move as much communication as possible elsewhere.

> expert horse racer's thoughts on F1 racing

That isn't what I said. I specifically said "Formula 1 engines and race car physics". I put it this way because I mean the specifics of Formula 1 engines and car physics. Not a general chat about Formula 1 but specific specialist areas.

Sure if it was just a general "oh what do you think of F1?" and they shared their personal opinion then fine but if they start saying stuff like "All the F1 engineers in the whole world don't know what they're doing" nobody is going to take them seriously (or you would hope not).

It is this important point, general opinion vs specific area expertise, that is the big issue for me.

Following the Dr Peterson example, had he said something like "oof I think climate change is all overblown and stupid and I don't agree with any of it" then that is his opinion and of course he is entitled to voice his own opinion.

But he didn't say that, he went in to attack specifics about climate models that he patently has no expertise in but talks as if he does. He presented it as if he is sharing factual information and that "nobody" working in climate science is correct.
So greed?
Ah OK, that makes more sense. TIL!
There wouldn't be any thing like GoFundme or protesters in a communist country, at least not for a long time.

So no, it's not like in communist countries.
Google Takeout will export all your mail in mbox format which is easily handled by mail programs like Apple Mail and Thunderbird and should let you sync everything to a new service (if that service won't let you transfer it themselves).

I'm using iCloud+ from Apple. It's cheap at $1/mo for 50GB of space and lets me have my custom domains. $3/mo will get you family sharing and 200GB of space (if you want multiple accounts - I just have one account with multiple domains/email addresses). Apple's email hosting is 22 years old (pre-dating Gmail by 4 years) and seems like it won't be going anywhere anytime soon. They've recently expanded their email offerings with things like "Sign In with Apple" and "Hide my Email."

Zoho Mail will give you free hosting without IMAP or $1 for 5GB, $1.25 for 10GB, $3 for 30GB, $4 for 50GB, $6 for 100GB (billed annually).

Microsoft 365 will cost $5.83/mo for 1 person or $8.33 for a family of 6. Each account gets 1TB of storage (6TB for the family in total) and you get all the Microsoft Office apps. One issue is that the domain needs to be with Go Daddy which ups the price a little given their premium pricing on domains which is around an extra dollar per month.

FastMail is $5/mo for 30GB, $9 for 100GB.

There's no magic email provider that no one ever complains about - including Google where we've heard horror stories of getting locked out with no one to even contact. It also seems like no one wants to be hosting your mail for free with IMAP support anymore (and almost no one wants to host your domain email for free generally).

For me, migrating to iCloud+ was cheap and easy. I'm already on a Mac and iPhone. I set up some simple rules to filter my mail on my Mac and I'm enjoying the instant response of a native app. At $1/mo, there's no lock-in to annual billing and it basically costs nothing.

Microsoft 365 seems like a good deal if you're looking for a lot of storage and Microsoft Office apps. 1TB for $5.83/mo is basically the same price per GB as Dropbox, but you're also getting mail and the Office apps.
> that by the 13th century China was already exporting small goods

Marco Polo lived from the mid-13th to early-14th centuries. Chinese merchants were trading with the West from at least the date of the founding of Rome, and likely earlier, 800-750BC. Greeks were traveling to China by 230BC, and the Han Dynasty officially opened trade with the West utilizing Silk Road routes by 130BC.
"Would you let your ten year old cycle unattended?" Is the bar to me.
They killed (these are just my beefs, others have more):

- Google+

- search (well they silently replaced it with a non working version)

Actually writing fresh new code is a one person task if nobody ever sees that code again. If someone has to read that code, it's a team activity. If you have to read someone's code, it's a team activity. Determining what to write, what _not_ to write, how to write it and why, are all team activities, often shared with non programmers. Programming is a very social occupation.
A graph, a topic map which ties together related posts, detects duplicates automatically. Each URL is a topic, but is typically about one or more other topics. Simple NLP can detect those topics (NERs) and link them to URLs. Disambiguation will be problematic until neural nets are trained to reduce that.

No, Git Bash is a custom, stripped-down version of MSYS2 (with MinGW Git and its dependencies installed). It does not include pacman.

If you want to use pacman you can either use Git Windows SDK, or just plain MSYS2.
I've bought both Acorn and Affinity over the years. W/ Affinity they're license is only good for the platform you purchased it on e.g. you can't use a windows license on your mac - you'd need to purchase 2 separate license. Considering I have a work mac and a work windows this was kind of annoying but whatever.

The thing that I encountered w/ Acorn was their license was tied to a particular version. For example a new Mac OS version came out, the version of Acorn I purchased wouldn't work w/ whatever version that was so continue using Acorn I need to purchase a new version. The part that irked me here was I only got like 1 years use out of the software. Feel like they should support n-2 or something to that effect. Not sure if things have changed.
Great article, in which I find myself partially. I have tried for many years to be quite perfectionistic but mostly because of the feeling of not being good enough. It's a pretty destructive behavior as you're always anxious and imagining the worst. At some point at university, I was able to slowly discard this behavior, although this development is certainly not over yet. What helped me most were good friends and a part-time job in a consulting firm, which I absolutely hated btw. But overall I learned to focus more on the important things and generally to care less. I'm generally happier with my work and don't let setbacks get to me as quickly. Rather, I take them as a challenge to become even better. (Starting my first job as an engineer after university soon btw! :))

If you believe what you consume effects you, and those around you, it is your duty to make sure those effects are positive. Much like fighting pollution.

Wow, looks pretty good. Never heard of those guys. Are they new?
> It doesn't seem like their current engineers are able to prevent such false positives

Perhaps we should advertise to Google that this costs them money.

I for one do not use or participate in most Google things because I don't want the one service I use messed up.

The whole "tie everything together" approach they took back in 2010 or so is wrong from the get-go. If I'm in Gmail and use the same browser to go to to YouTube, I'm forced to use the Gmail id, and if I "log-out" in YouTube, my email session is also closed ... say what?
