Where did I say white males were the problem? I said the system is built upon white male supremacy, but I didn't blame anyone for it. The system is the problem, not people of any specific identity.

White male supremacy is an ideology, not an identity. Anyone can be white male supremacist, regardless of gender or race. Also, you can definitely be a white male who's not a white male supremacist.
I genuinely don't understand this quiz. The very first question starts out by saying that cults have leaders, and then asking "Is your leader the ultimate authority of your group?"

What leader? What group? How do I answer "Not applicable" or anything other than confirming that I'm in a cult already. Isn't this just begging the question?

All the questions are like this. How am I supposed to know if I'm in a cult if all the questions presuppose that I'm already in one?
Stock markets are tiny compared to private equity and privately held biz and real estate.

but to your point, you are exactly correct. Stock markets is a game, designed to methodically transfer wealth from the peasant pockets to the ultra-wealthy that write the rules of the game.

One, and most common, game is to have peasants as suckers of the last resort and have their pension funds buy all kinds of garbage because "mandates". Why would anyone want to hold negative yielding debt? But they do.
The README says "the latest version of SNES Tracker is available exclusively via Patreon a few weeks before it becomes available on github". In https://github.com/bazz1tv/snestracker/releases, v0.2.0 was released in 2020-09-29 and says "the next version, v0.2.1 is already released to Patreon!" In reality, v0.2.1 was released publicly months later on 2021-02-19, with a tasteless notice saying "Note: the next version, v0.2.2 and v0.2.3 is already released to Patreon! This includes a critical bugfix (app hanging)."

The public Github repository you linked hasn't been updated in 11 months (v0.2.2 source and releases last updated in 2021-03-15), and v0.2.2 actually dates back to 2020-11-08 on Patreon. The Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/bazz1) was last updated in 2021-03-14 with v0.2.4, yet continues to take money for the past 11 months of silence. I've heard that he's stopped supplying builds to Patreon subscribers, and only giving them to Twitch subscribers.

This is my first time looking at his Twitch, and wow that's a lot of livestreaming uploads. I don't know if SNES Tracker is still being developed or not, and if Twitch subscribers receive newer builds of the tracker. In any case I'm definitely not subscribing.

I tried cloning the repo to view the current publicly released state. It has over 100 MB of files previously in history but deleted in a more recent commit, polluting non-shallow clones. I couldn't get it to build easily, so I downloaded the prebuilt Windows v0.2.2. The user interface is bare-bones and written in SDL, though I didn't poke around very deeply.

In any case I'll consider checking on his Twitch streams, and see if he can help me, though I prefer interacting with other people who don't behave in ethically dubious ways. I've already figured out how to make the S-DSP output sound. I'm currently working on learning S-SMP/SPC700 programming, writing/picking a hardware driver, (if I write my own driver) picking efficiently-implementable behaviors while remaining musically useful, or (if I pick an existing driver) learning the driver and build system. Eventually I want a characterization of the SNES's analog frequency/phase response (DAC impulse response plus analog filtering) so I can implement it in software. I feel eliminating unneeded audio latency, and implementing aliasing-free hardware-accurate resampling/filtering, are aspects that most emulators (even accurate ones like bsnes/higan) get wildly wrong, which I can improve with effort.

Ah, yes, at all costs, we mustn’t make white dudes feel uncomfortable. That would be a disaster!

They’ve only been running things since the outset of our country, and literally using the force of law and violence to guarantee their social dominance for generations.

Ok, but the problem is that people or businesses inherently only really want to facilitate the discovery of what they've created, regardless of whether it's the best thing for the person. In a perfect world people would have wants and they would be advertised to by the best solution for those wants and everyone would be happy, but what inevitably happens is that people advertise their products to people who don't want them in an attempt to ply them into being interested, or advertise their less suitable product more loudly than their better competitor.

What evidence is there for that though? It sounds to me as though it's free market dogma posing as reasonable common sense.

In social media, for example, there is currently competition. Yes FB is big, but new players are entering the market and causing them to shrink precisely by making the web even more toxic and unpleasant. Perfecting this process and introducing more competition (read desperation among product managers in the losing firms) isn't something I want to witness.

I have just been reading "Days of Rain" by Rebecca Stott, about her upbringing, and that of her father, in the Exclusive Brethren. This author covers all the same points and, yes, he has a book about his experience in, and leaving, the Brethren. For her, and I assume for him, in was tragically painful.

The thing that really got me angry about the Brethren is the sheer hypocrisy. For all the talk of morality and being right with God, they are not above having $millions stashed away in bank accounts for the benefit of their leaders, evade taxes everywhere, and carry on regardless of the psychological suffering they cause, even up to the point of suicide.

Look out for them influencing your politicians too. Here in the UK, they'll provide large numbers of volunteers to do the door-to-door canvassing for (normally Conservative)
candidates who'll advocate for their shady practices.

Edit: for clarity, I should say that the Open Brethren are a separate arm and are a far more bona fide Christian denomination.

> It is interesting, how the concept of misinformation is bound to time. Imagine 1 year ago, somebody would say: "covid was leaked from a Lab in Wuhan"...

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs, and that once that proof was evident, it was then safe to assume it was no longer a case of disinformation.

Of course there are two sides to this: What if the 'covid leaked from a lab in Wuhan' datum was so angrily suppressed that the requisite extraordinary proofs were never unearthed, or worse, destroyed... then the probable truth may have never seen the light of the day. Thankfully, in this case, that didn't happen.

A well-designed series of forms would take away the friction of having some dude come in later and tell a moron what they meant to say.

Unfortunately, a form would also deter morons from creating contracts.

Ah. But what we have here is a would-be casino operator with a short-term view, who would love to have their site full of contracts, even if they're free-written by morons.

> Another article with a bunch of questionable data

Could you please elaborate?

> Vote with your wallet, you don't like it don't use it. But don't try to convince me

I don't understand this argument. You can easily do exactly what you ask of others: Don't click on the headline (the reader equivalent of "vote with your wallet"). Nobody is trying to convince you of anything. You came to the thread all on your own, and there since nobody reads every single topic posted on HN you made a conscious decision and an effort to expose yourself to this article and this discussion.

> Because if you do, but leave things of the table...

That argument makes just as little sense. We cannot discuss something because we have not yet discussed something else? Since this can be applied to every single topic, nothing can ever be discussed. The argument only makes some sense, depending on context, if the topics are chained together and the one being discussed depends on some other, and we don't have a result yet, so discussing the dependent one is not possible without knowing more about the previous one.

What a negative view of the web and the world, and with the wrong interpretation. What won wasn't conspiracy theories and scammy ads.

What won was videos of cats, your aunt being able to get video instructions of how to replace a car tire, open-source software, and an explosion of tools that are getting more sophisticated by the minute, to the point that during a global pandemic, a lot of office jobs almost seamlessly moved fully remote, even if for a while.

Yes, someone needs to tackle those issues you've mentioned, but by and large your description of the internet is not accurate to global use we get from it.

> they don't necessarily have to correspond with anything real, ...

I would just say they correspond to encoded thought processes, encoded reasoning. If you can take a thought process and describe it in terms of sets and relations (i.e. subsets with certain properties), you have a mathematical structure and you can start trying to prove theorems.

You spend time thinking about a problem, then hopefully you start recognizing patterns, then you take the reasoning, clean it up, abstract it and generalize it to increase its ultimate utility, and package it for others to reuse and build upon.

> everything that works is called math

It is just fortunate that people have been able to "package" a lot of stuff this way. Like Riemann did with his geometry for example. It is not that mathematicians just decide to "take over" everything.

How it worked out: if you notice something interesting and there’s a paywall, you forget about it and go back to whatever cat pictures you were browsing.
If you look carefully you might notice that your argument is also a critique of capitalism. The market mechanism in general selects for these “perfect” states of affairs, which often turn out out to be not that great in practice (although in fairness they are also genuinely pretty good often enough).

I’m not quite sure what the solution is, but I suspect it involves taking our foot off the gas of the “marketise everything” bandwagon and pluralising our approach, but without throwing the baby out with the bath water and removing these market mechanisms entirely.

And I don’t like how everything’s conceptualised as a ‘project’ that needs to be exported, even when working on a single file. I just want to open a file, modify and save it. Gimp made a similar mistake at some point…

> That some people just shout that "that is a torture", does not mean that some other do not mean it

Yes, note that I wrote an entire paragraph on that point. It’s simply that with this kind of dispute you cannot assume that everyone involved is an objective observer. That means things like seeing whether everyone in the area shared these views or if you’re only hearing from a minority.

I’m not familiar with this part of Greece but with US wind farms I’ve heard a notable generational divide: you’ll hear a complaint from someone older but their kids don’t mind because they don’t have 50 years of memories and are far more likely to think that a different view is a cheap cost compared to the impact of climate change on their future.

I suspect that mid term this is going to be changing. There is currently a big behind the scenes push to move the web target to Wasm (dependent upon Wasm GC landing in some kind of reasonable timeframe).

At that point I suspect you will see the importance of compiling to JS declining rapidly.

Side note: The other major push that seems relevant to some of the other comments here is they are also looking to redo the shader pipeline from scratch and make that AOT compiled as well because right now it tries to just JIT all of that and it isn’t always very predictable as a result. [1]

So combining that along with a WASM target I actually feel super bright about the future of Flutter as a tech choice on web, desktop, mobile etc…

They have some more detail about both of these things in their Roadmap [2] if you’re interested.

I really liked this, and it's also why it's so hard to teach mathematics, which is part of my current job.

Most people think in a context-dependent way. If you ask, suppose Jane has three apples and John gives her two more apples, how many does she have - then most kids at the appropriate level will visualise apples and count to five. Give exactly the same problem but with "Jane has five McGuffins" and you'll get a confused stare followed by "what's a McGuffin?". Except of course for the one kid who has no problem with the math because they misheard it as McMuffin and could visualise that!
I think developers often want to find a “one true cross platform toolkit for all cases” and I don’t believe that will ever exist. It depends so much on both your app/market but also the skills and experience within your team. No 1 priority is move quickly.

Flutter is brilliant, and probably the way to go, for some apps. A great example of a successful Flutter app is the Sonos app, relatively simple and responsive ui talking to an api. No “rich” or user supplied content. Although they haven’t replaced their desktop app with the flutter app, my guess is that it is the plan.

I think Flutter is brilliant for that type of IOT app, banking/crypto/utilities also the sort that would work well. I don’t think it’s best placed if you want to start using WebViews for some content, when I was last looking at it a year ago there were serious problems.

If you are building a social media app, either Native or React Native (or a combination) is probably the best way to go. You are aiming high so need the best performance and ux.

If you are building a b2b SAAS app I would probably reach for something like Ionic/Capacitor. You can share almost all you codebase with your web/PWA/desktop (electron) apps and can achieve it all with a tiny team. If you need a little more native functionality then adding in NativeScript to a Capacitor works very well.

For an e-commerce app I would probably go Iconic/Capacitor too, the Amazon app for example is mostly webviews.

Productivity apps are much more difficult to recommend for as you probably need large native components.
Of course it's not. Yet it's hard to find non-Electron desktop apps nowadays.
