I don't even understand the premise. My answer would be "There's no chance it's not compatible with your laptop. Tell me what happened."

If I wasn't ready to argue, I wouldn't have said anything. Arguing in this case means to troubleshoot with him. Sometimes I think that other people think the purpose of argument is to hurt people. The purpose of argument (for me) is to make the people who are arguing smarter than they were before the argument. I don't get pleasure out of hurting my father or showing him up - I like my father. If anything, I want to make him feel smarter than he is, and I hope he feels the same about me.

edit: Also, it may turn out this is a weird corner-case and MySQL is somehow incompatible with his laptop. I'm not a MySQL scientist. After finding that out, though, I'm a tiny bit closer to being one.
Hum... I think they require it from everybody that isn't from the EU. I don't know if they have any means of validating the identity of EU citizens, or if they do that too.

I imagine Germany has some laws about identifying who you host things for.
Doing sports and running with a 6 inch smartphone attached to your arm or in your pocket is just uncomfortable.
Of course it depends on where you in Sweden you are. The super market in the the more affluent part of a large city where I live is about 50/50. Out in the 'sticks' where my parents live it's much closer 80/20
It's also categorically broken in somewhat basic ways recently.

1. I searched a term, and there were not many exact results for it, with the suggestion to try verbatim search - clicked it, quotes where added, and then the _same suggestion_ appeared with added quotes. I kept clicking until I got a few hundred quotes in a row and google thought I was a bot.
2. Just today I searched for a camera related term, any many results appeared from one website with the suggestion to search for more results only from the site. For some reason, that search returned only a single result.
Ah, yeah. That makes sense. Yes, the inability to block certain sites is such a terrible flaw in Google's approach.
There was a time when asking for religous affiliation was fairly standard, though also often associated with prejudicial practice.

Forms of address --- Mr., Mrs., Miss., Ms., and often professional titles (Dr., in German Ing. (engineer), esquire (lawyers), Reverand, etc.) is at least fairly common if not entirely standard practice.

I suspect, again, some motivation on the part of a requestor. A magazine's circulation department, for example, might want to know the number of lawyers and doctors among its subscribers as a proxy for advertising value.

Many business information request forms provide detailed rosters of who you are, what you do, and your company title. For similar reasons, I suspect.

(I also feed those bogus information as a matter of course.)
Ehhh...

I'd say tildes.net, most project-specific forums (Discourse instances for FLOSS projects come to mind: Fedora, Let's Encrypt, F-Droid, Signal, and others), several mailing lists, and perhaps even lobste.rs are far more constructive.

I've noticed that HN is just like Reddit, Lemmy, and other up/down-vote based forums for threaded discussions in that it incentivizes one extremely predictable pattern:

Commenters have a first impression of what an article will say before they finish reading it, or before they read it at all. They take this anticipation of what the article will say, form an opinion about it, and search for comments that validate that opinion. These comments get upvoted.

Because of this, commenters have an incentive to not just validate common opinions about an article, but opinions about what an article may be about so they don't have to risk considering its content/views.

This phenomenon applies to the comments too, to a lesser degree. There's a recursive effect going on that promotes bikeshedding.

While it shares this characteristic, at leas the discussion quality is better than mainstream social media (FB, Reddit, etc); however, that's not even worth mentioning IMO because comparing a forum's quality to them would be an insult to said forum.

Several far less active forums like littr, subreply, gurlic, and tilde.news are far less toxic so some of this is probably most apparent with some popularity.

I will say that the moderation seems excellent, though.
Last I heard, Chrome was phasing out user-agent strings anyways[0]. There's already a feature flag, and turning it on makes the user-agent "generic" so that specific browser and OS versions are rounded off and end with 0's. In other words, relying on browser version numbers is deprecated by Google fiat.

Absolutely, as an orphan with many different ideas and no safety net I was frequently put in places where I should have been a co-founder since I was technical and the idea was mine, but basically until I was 29 I had no leverage because I had to have income (and health insurance, I was born with a couple heart defects.)

It sucks, and I'm sorry that you had this experience. That's basically how it works. The people who get the good jobs are the people who don't need jobs at all. The people who need jobs get the lousy ones that lead nowhere but more lousy jobs, and it is this way because the owning class can threaten us with starvation and homelessness into taking whatever terms they offer.

What is truly weird is that, if you advocate (I don't, and I'm not) for tearing down the capital-owning class using indiscriminate and total violence--and, just to be clear, I consider "indiscriminate, total violence" a terrible outcome, almost as bad as letting the bourgeoisie continue to win--you'll probably end up in jail, even in the US where they claim to love "freedom of speech"... but, at the same time, rich people can use survival pressures (threat of starvation,
homelessness, and criminal medical negligence) and that's just taken as how the world works. To advocate for a final revolution against the bourgeoisie that might take 100,000 lives is a crime; to advocate (or even lobby!) against "socialized medicine" and kill far more people is legal.

It's weird how certain types of violence fade into the background while others are considered severe and deviant, to the point of receiving international scorn and attention. Worker-initiated worksite violence is a bad thing, no doubt--I am staunchy against it, since other workers, often innocents, are invariably the victims--but compared to the millions that have been killed by the US health insurance system, it's not newsworthy at all. It's just the Right is very skilled at using criminal anecdata to convince people the world that the poor are far more dangerous (and the rich, less so) than they actually are.
And this is one of those places where FF could break with the pack. Sure implement webGL/usb/whatever but provide a simple browser and page enable/disable function for those people who aren't interested in having random websites sending rogue mining code to their GPUs, or various other API's that have questionable merit if you goal is a simple browser API/surface/function.
I mean… sure, the comments can be negative or dismissive at times. But toxic, compared to what? Dinner conversation with close friends? Perhaps.

I mean, alcohol makes me a lot nicer, but I see your point.
Yeah I think I would have been more successful had I just bought some aged accounts with 50-100 karma. If you're "morally flexible" and willing to work with some unsavory types there's probably a lot of money to be made but that's not really for me either lol.
While that may be true, it’s also true regardless of the ranking algorithm or which web search is the winner.

Webspam will seek to game whichever search company has dominant market share and they will structure their spam to overcome the filter and ranking specifics of that engine.

Considering tools like GPT-3, one could easily imagine in the limit, a spammer running a large number of searches through a search engine, finding out what ranks high, and the training a generative model on that dataset to produce similar articles. Auxiliary signals like inbound links and DNS records they can also usually work around by purchasing domains or buying inbound links.

It will always be a war and there is never going to be a victory over webspam. Even with something like web3 where posting content costs money I can imagine ways spam.
Interestingly enough, the HIV virus has been repurposed to cure Leukemia (vs. Leukemia treatment used to fight HIV):

This is silly and underscores my point about splitting hairs while completely ignoring the bigger picture.

They were not just focused on the tanks. That was one component of the structure which involved Spacex testing propulsive landings using test articles of varying designs. . And this is the crucial part. . . While designing those test articles and iterating on the manufacturing systems AT THE SAME TIME.

The tanks are silly to make a point about was the response above if that was unclear. It was one component that was going through changes with the rest of the system in a revolutionary way that has never been done before. Not during the falcon development process or any other rocket development process going back to the Apollo era.

Blank sheet -> Starbase today is ridiculously complex. Each element in of itself that I outlined above takes YEARS. Arguing in a silly way about “oh my, they did take two years, well, technically, kinda, with these caveats” is such a stupid way to approach the measurement of progress where , while being completely wrong , is also not constructive to the discussion.
This is an uncharitably suspicious inferring of the other person's motives. Is it required that the "older person" self-identify their technical limitations every time, before you will read their verbalization of the situation as a basic statement of frustration and/or admission of technical defeat?

For many people, the notion of debugging a MySQL installation on Windows so that it works seems about as plausible as summitting K2 - they don't expect others nearby can simply do it, either. (Also, the suggestion of inter-generational manipulation is not attractive.)
Charge more! My product[1] was originally free, then $49, then after a year I started to bump up the price more aggressively. It's now $249 and I probably should have started with that. Devs either aren't willing to pay for boilerplate code (happy with open-source options) or $249 is nothing to them if it saves a week of dev time. Last year I hit my goal of $100k in revenue :)

> Whose meta-analysis came up with that? Like to see that.

You'll have to dig into each language that has expanded it's composition capability and the reasoning, but the outcome is self-evident. Many languages started with simple inheritance (eg PHP, Java, VB, C++, et al) and expanded composability mechanisms over time.

> That's a bold statement (unless you have a novel definition of "cross cutting concerns") and actually backwards: ... A cross cutting concern is a 'general' concern.

I'm not going to argue about how you wish to redefine things.

Good luck with whatever.
> What happened to Arizona/Florida?

Both are overpopulated now. I live in a peripheral suburb outside of Phoenix, AZ, first moving to the state in 2007. My rent has gone up by $500 just in the last 6 months. There's talk among the locals that the water supply won't sustain this growth.

Florida is in much worse shape from what I hear but I can't speak on specifics. I know the cost of living there is insane though. I'd pick Idaho or maybe rural CO if I were to do it over.

>The article explains that people who are "intelligent," or just over analytical in nature, end up being less happy. They see through the BS of everyday life and are able to spot the negatives faster than any positives.

Positives and negatives are completely subjective. Personally I welcome people pointing out the flaws in my reasoning or understanding, and see it as an opportunity for growth. "Seeing through the BS of everyday life" enables one to see just as many positives as negatives - especially to those whose "everyday life" isn't so positive to begin with. Some people go through life seeking affirmation and avoiding anything that conflicts with their predispositions, which is fine if that's what works for them (and they aren't in positions of power or making consequential decisions). Plenty of us find the "animating contest of freedom" (in the words of Samuel Adams[the man not the beer]) to be positive and liberating, but it certainly isn't for everyone.
I wouldn't equate them.

I would label a statement that is technically true but highly misleading as disingenuous. For example, the statement "Vaccines won't prevent you from getting COVID" is technically true, because you can still get COVID despite being vaccinated. However, it's misleading because the statement carries a strong implication that the vaccine is worthless, when the truth is that is the vaccine greatly reduces your chances of getting it, while also significantly reducing likelihood of hospitalization and death. The statement isn't a lie, but it's certainly disingenuous.

Yes—there are subtle distinctions between these words ("dissimulation" is another, but that one hasn't become internet-popular). The aspect they have in common, as pvg points out, is that they all imply intent to deceive.

Since internet commenters basically can't ever know that about each other, they're not allowed to direct those words at each other here (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

>Play the game of cat-and-mouse with an entire Internet's worth of bad actors trying to break your server? "No thanks," say most actual users.

I was listening to a podcast yesterday, and one of the hosts expressed this similar feeling, except he came from the opposite end of the spectrum—someone who has been deploying, maintaining, and working on Internet infrastructure for a while. Dealing with these headaches for an extended amount of time will probably nudge you to favour centralisation.

He argued in favour of moving the entire tech stack to the cloud and paying a fee, instead of deploying and maintaining anything on-premises, in no small part because of the cat-and-mouse game you describe. Paraphrasing, "I'm just paying for a service, if something breaks in the cloud it's not my problem to fix."

My experience is one of Americans fawning over new hotels and resort towns and digital nomad lifestyles in Vietnam. Not staying forever but for extended indefinite periods of time.

I was not on Twitter before the explosion of woke culture, but every now and then I go to read without an account and there's a lot of verbal violence

The coffee machine bit: Governments have regulations that protect freedom of speech, and government are made of people and elected by people, if we let woke culture go ahead in their ideas that freedom of speech is ok to be limited when some ideas are expressed, how long since a enough number of politicians get elected and put that into law/change the law? So yeah freedom of speech as-is, is from the government, but it has to be protected also between people as people have the power to form ideas that change laws, because we don't elect machines
Similarly, I don't see how "a well documented history of voter suppression" applies to increasing election security. I don't see that phrase in your first link, but I found it here: https://www.studioatao.org/post/understanding-the-u-s-govern....

From there I found a link to the evil Brian Kemp who dared to purge voter rolls! https://newrepublic.com/article/151858/americas-relentless-s...

Many believe that one of the greatest opportunities for fraud come from outdated voter rolls. We need more effort to purge them, not less. Again, I am not hearing a single thing from you that convinces me laws like voter ID laws are more harmful than beneficial. If this weren't a deeply partisan issue for an insanity-driven culture of divisiveness, there would be little argument against voter ID laws in this day and age.

Lastly, it is very partisan to focus on efforts of republicans to suppress democrat votes while ignoring democrat efforts to continuously game the system in their favor, like:

* Making Washington D.C. a state, which makes zero sense unless you just want to win.

* Stacking the supreme court, which, again, makes zero sense unless you just want to win.

* Abolishing the filibuster, which completely undermines the purpose of the senate. The founders of the constitution purposely did not set up a pure democracy and they had many good reasons for it.

* Federalizing election laws, obviously in ways that favor democrats, even ignoring the complete unconstitutionality of the law. if anything is obvious about the democrats, they see the constitution as an obstacle more than as a founding document.

* Purposely not enforcing existing immigration laws (this should be illegal and Biden should be in jail for it), and then fighting to allow non-citizens to vote (this is already legal in NYC), or to grant citizenship to illegal entrants. Fortunately, the Hispanic vote seems to be shifting right, so we can hope this evil strategy will backfire against the democrats.

* Gerrymandering that rivals or exceeds republican gerrymandering efforts. But, when it's the democrats doing it, the corporate media like to call it "redistricting".

The democrats have long ago made it clear that they will fight as dirty as possible to win. If anything, Republicans need to start fighting dirtier back.

Scary opinion

I think it is a simple privacy issue.

Privacy is the idea that there should be intentional barriers between the government and "the truth". The government may catch more criminals if it has full access to "the truth", but there are also downsides. To avid the downsides, we limit the ways in which governments and individuals can access/obtain "the truth".

This is why we have search warrants opposed to universal surveillance.
By the way I think this is a really valuable idea. Learning about NVC and what violence is in communication has been a really high payoff/cost skill. I urge you to pursue this further :) What you want to look into is "few-shot learning" - few-shot means you only provide a few examples (like say somewhere between five and a hundred), and then it infers the result.

Other search terms that could help you towards your goal: gpt-neo (open source GPT-3), gpt-3 fine tuning. Also the OpenAI documentation is pretty good at saying exactly what code you need to get results from GPT3 https://beta.openai.com/examples
I haven't worked extensively in Bash alone but I did work extensively in Make for a while and I can say with confidence: the specialized old tooling languages are extremely good at what they do, Make goes out of its way to make building things extremely slick. These language tools were designed to tackle every problem in their realm because, for a lot of people, there wasn't an alternative - their structure shows clear and careful design intent.
