I don’t think it is far fetched to claim that such a complex system as the human brain has a genetic basis regarding intelligence as well, especially towards outliers of the IQ bell curve.

For example, Ashkenazi Jews have very specific neurological diseases, but those same genes could also give much increased intelligence when they are paired with their normal counterparts. Here is a very interesting blog post on an investigation behind “The Martians” for example: https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/05/26/the-atomic-bomb-consid... which basically finds this same reason for their “superhuman” intelligence.

That problem is due to wrong downmix from multichannel to stereo. both VLC and Kodi have options to compress audio so that louder parts can be lowered.
Here's the relevant Kodi wiki page: https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/System/Audio
So the 1st amendment's wrong. Fix it somehow. Landline telephone companies are obliged by their terms of licence to serve all customers in their coverage area (i.e they can't deny the KKK a landline.) There's precedent for forcing companies to provide a certain service. Just write a law. Find or invent a justification and write a law.
Shows are not movies and streaming even more so.
Showing Code to Acquiring Companies
If a company is interested in aquiring your code, what is the process for letting them evaluate it without giving them access to the IP without stealing it? What is to prevent them from not following through on the acquisition and using parts of your code?
"century defining" might be too much hyperbole given we've had two world wars in the last 103 years, but certainly from the perspective of Facebook, Covid and Ukraine have been perhaps the largest crises they've seen since over the course of their existence.
> is just a particular case of their general propensity to follow rules.

Fair enough but this just kicks the can down the road. Why does Japanese culture have a propensity to follow rules? How can we duplicate that in America?
Fun rant.

IMO, much of what The Drinker describes is just plain old bad writing, but currently it's a lame writing in the style or George RR Martin or whatever is modern. It's not the style that sucks, it's the writing.

GRRM makes for an easy example. He wrote the novels for GoT's wonderful early seasons. Other people wrote the later seasons. We can compare. Both told morally ambiguous stories that played with fantasy motifs, but with the confusing twist. The handsome knight is a villain. The good lord gets killed. etc. This is the style of both early and late seasons, the late seasons just suck.

In GRRM's writing, you follow characters make fucked up, horrible and evil decisions... but motivations make sense. You understand why." In late seasons, that breaks down.

I believe a good writer could have hit all the "Rey Skywalker" identity waypoints and tied it into a story that doesn't* suck. The sucky writers could have written a simple, New Hope style hero's journey where Rey overcomes internal and external obstacles... and that story could have still sucked.

Fiction writing can have almost any moral take. Confusion, nihilism, certainty. The world can be just, the characters immoral. The world can be cruel, the heros can be moral.

In short, it's totally possible to take the lamest of moral positions and write a great story around it. Possible, but not guaranteed. Look at Ayn Rand.
Great to see these, my favourite UK one contains similar data.

Cycling drunk probably involves a violation of the same laws that are managed by your driving license. So it’s somewhat like “since you can’t obey the license-free part of this law, we will not allow you the licensed privileges”.
That's an underrated comment, there are tons of good indie movies.
Exactly, that was their point. I suspect there are a lot of software supply chains that are actually compromised, because it's just too easy when this is the standard of software engineering.

It's easy to forget that git for example is not just a big "undo" button, it's a cryptographically secure audit log of all changes made, that allows you to know exactly what software you're actually shipping.
So hypothetically as a western activist at risk of govt coercion you'd trust Cisco more?

Statistically, you very likely own a Chinese manufactured router while using it to tell others here not to do the same.
I've got the full klipsch THX ultra 2 system (7.2), and I also find dialogues in modern movies much harder to understand than in older releases. I think they should mix in more of the dialogue in the front left and right channels
Ah, a Czech product. I know some engineers from Turris. Very proud of them. This is how a good router should look like.
I don't think shaming these companies with a misleading statistic helps solve this issue.
The problem exists in the cinema too, so it's not that.
Wow, that's a nice project!
same here.

i was expecting an essay on how remote work is not good and all. but ended up learning quite a few things. it's not just the title. the whole article is calling that interaction face-to-face.

if a bunch on people are sitting such that they can see the face of their instructor, face-to-face isn't what i would call it...
Before you say anything about this feature (which is apparently called HomeCare, https://www.tp-link.com/homecare/), you should probably know that Asus also has a AiProtection feature powered by Trend Micro (https://www.asus.com/content/aiprotection/) and D-Link having McAfee Secure Home Platform built-in (https://www.dlink.com/en/latest-news/d-link-introduces-new-e...). Definitely not vindicating TP-Link here (especially the alleged continuous querying despite the feature being off), just noting that this is not exclusive to TP-Link.
> No autocomplete - No colours - Not very useful error messages

There were colours. And the library was small and well documented with embedded help files containing examples. So autocomplete was no blocker. Errors were fine as far as I remember. Perhaps you mean turbo c++?
RT was not just news, it also had opinion programs, some not exactly aligned with anything. Also economic analysis...

At a minimum, RT is as relevant in the US or in the UK as CNN and BBC are relevant for Russians

Can you really make an informed decision without listening to both sides of the argument propaganda?
yeah I think the bright side is that foreign film can shine now; it's amazing how korea has been entering the american zeitgeist regularly now, that’s no small feat
I've been doing this for awhile. Most importantly, I do this with my news. If there's a war in Europe, I don't even bother to check the BBC anymore, or German outlets. I try to grok Al Jazeera, India Times, Channel News Asia, see what's common between them.
Has anyone made a map of "unpleasant" day-time hours?

I don't need the weather to be ideal - as long as it's not rainy, the high is below 40, and it's a wet bulb with no wind - that works for me.
It’s a lost cause. The router should be treated as hostile and shouldn’t be allowed to know anything if possible. DNS over HTTPS and that SNI encryption stuff should be used.
Can we claim that if the Soviets develop the bomb first, they wouldn’t have used it on the US as soon as possible? With that in mind, his take is strong, but not irrational.
> Terrible DX

Can you elaborate what's terrible about the developer experience? If anything it's much better than REST, even if the developer of the API doesn't bother with documentation, the GraphQL schema is fully usable as documentation. Plus the way to input and output data into the API is standardized and the same across all GraphQL API's.

> terrible performance

How? Is the API slow to respond? Or are you making too many calls (which you shouldn't do) increasing the round trip time?

> terrible uptimes

I fail to see how that uptime is related to GraphQL. REST API's can be just as unreliable, if the server is down, the server is down and no technology can fix that.
‘Limited’ Tactical Nuclear Weapons Would Be Catastrophic
This is true of the US too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Foreign_Intell...
This is correct. This article is just a subtle advertisement for AWS Lambda, everything else is window dressing.
This might be true. But to me it seems like Indie games make real money. Mosty because making a good game requires less personel than making a good movie.
In the context of a person who (for zero real research) sounds as though he intellectualized life perhaps to a fault, the game theory anecdote seems to fit.
The WRT1200AC family is not well supported. The Ethernet part should work fine, but the Wifi is unsupported since some years now, see here the repository: https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi The vendors are not interested in this hardware any more, but they have very good marketing and sales. Linksys and Marvell also did not really support the OpenWrt community, they just had good marketing. If your WRT1200AC device does not work well with OpenWrt do not complain to OpenWrt, but complain to the Linksys support.

The WRT1200AC family for example does not support WPA3, because the closed source Wifi firmware does not support it. The 15 years old WRT54G supports WPA3, it is just very slow. ;-)

Currently I would suggest the Linksys E8450 / Belkin RT3200 (same hardware) or some other device using the current Mediatek platform with MT7622 + MT7915 + MT7531. (2 X Cortex-A53, Wifi 6) All chips are supported in recent upstream Linux kernel, including Wifi. The Mediatek router team is currently doing pretty good upstream open source work for their chips.
Another two reasons to avoid nested resources, are performance and coupling.

A nested resource is hard to optimize. Simple, atomic, flat resources can be cached (by clients, proxies or server) much more efficient. Once you allow nested resources, there's no going back, as clients will depend on them. So you've effectively disabled lots of performance improvement options.

A nested resource implies data relations. Tightly coupled to a data model. One that will change over time, yet the api is hard to change. If you have a Project nested in your Users, and the business now needs multiple projects per user, this is hard to change with nested resources, but much easier with endpoints, the /users/:id/project can be kept and return e.g. the first project, next to a new /users/:id/projects.
There is an enormously frustrating segment of the software development community who seemingly refuse to imagine that there might be others with different language and communication needs than their own, and their particular formulation of plain text may be particularly unsuitable for those needs.

As a physicist, yes, I wouldn't necessarily disagree that it is important to be able to distil concepts into language, but the language of mathematics happens to be very poorly supported by the computer-specific idea of 'plain text'. I have had too many times in the past when sending plain text emails meant filling emails with pseudo-latex equations and hoping that the recipients would be able to understand them, or needing to attach a PDF with the actual content. Translating the concepts entirely into a foreign language like English prose wouldn't help in understanding, it would just be ridiculous and inefficient. Similarly, if I'm showing experimental data, or any sort of graph, again, the language is not feasibly translatable into plain text. Markdown and well-formatted HTML and MathML emails with modern email clients allow me to communicate in the languages I actually need to write in, and express the concepts I actually need to express, in the forms they are most efficiently expressed in. Communications systems that support mathematics and images well are extremely useful for these other languages as well. As you point out, music has a similar problem: yes, it's probably reasonable to say that concepts should be able to expressed in language, but the language to express the concepts isn't supported by plain text.

And these different fields and languages do intersect, but that segment remains stubborn. For example, expecting all discussion of what a function in a maths library does to be entirely in plain text just to satisfy the affectations of a fanatical few would be unreasonable. Yet they do their best to impose. We see statements like these. We see services that might otherwise be useful needlessly enforce and evangelize their particular views on plain text. If anything, the fanatics become increasingly fanatical and unwilling to compromise: it becomes not just HTML and images that are decried, but any non-plaintext rendering of Markdown, or anything that isn't ASCII, or text that isn't hard-broken to 72 characters (or, in the case of this particular message, demands even on the particular style of English). It becomes not just a preference, but that non-plaintext messages should be attacked, or their authors aggressively educated on proper communication and etiquette, or non-plaintext messages be rejected entirely. I prefer chalkboards to whiteboards, but I am not going to storm out of a talk as soon as the speaker picks up a dry erase marker. Non intret Cato...

The rest of the world moves on, of course, and that segment likely wonder why they are disliked.
It's still not as bad as BitBucket which makes it basically impossible to read commit messages in a pull request. Is that a good level to be at? Probably not.

In the screenshot in the post it looks like the navigation tree is crammed into the 1280px wide grid, but that's not the case - enabling the feature preview makes the page full-width. So it doesn't make the diff area unreadable.
In search engines and in so many other applications, we desperately need a checkbox that says "I know what I'm doing, don't assume anything, give it to me straight". Expert modes, literal modes, they need to be everywhere.
Not necessarily. One of the unfortunate problems with FDB is the glacial release process. Check their blog and announcement forums and you'll see the last release they felt worthy of announcing was in 2019. GitHub releases shows an enigmatically named 7.0 release but given it doesn't have any release notes and the website still claims 6.3 is the latest version, it may still not be ready to go yet.
Check out non-US filmmakers, there are some incredible films outside the Hollywood/Netflix cabal. For example, if you want nuance, check out "I am not an easy man", a French film, on Netflix at the moment, where a male chauvinist is transported to a world where females are the dominant gender, and he's forced into a frivolous, weak and sensitive male stereotype. That's just the setup, and it is multiple view worthy for all the nuance.
Yeah, I definitely don't want to come across as asking for companies to stop publishing their research. The information is always interesting to see, and sometimes even trying to sus out the bias can help you better understand the companies themselves. Like, picking the example of C++, you can tell that Microsoft cares about ABI stability because they ship an OS that exposes APIs to binaries (Apple cares as well, but they're far less vocal about C++, but in the language they own–Swift–they've gone all the way to reifying an entire ABI stable interface for generics). The problem is when e.g. Google presents something about not caring about ABI stability, and whether unintentionally or not, recruits people to their cause, to the extent that I see Windows programmers who ship closed source software clamoring for Microsoft to "stop preventing C++ from being more efficient and better" because they read a bunch of stuff about how std::string could get a better layout or something. This definitely isn't wrong but the perspective is easily skewed by what your goals are, and it's easy to accidentally think Google's goals are the same as yours because they certainly have no incentive to suggest otherwise.

The question of how much we actually avoid this is a complicated one to answer. I like to think that a lot of the obvious biases get caught, but I have also been around long enough to know that Hacker News is definitely not immune to this. My employer constantly falls into the trap of having a problem and then looking around to see how FAANG is solving it, then trying that solution largely uncritically, despite not quite being a FAANG. It's mildly amusing when your see a principal engineer with several times more experience (and compensation!) than you do get tripped up by it, but it only emphasizes that evaluating research with a critical eye is difficult to do and everyone struggles with it to some extent.

Are there conservative "strongholds" with rising or high population? That's most likely where you would see more of this stuff, areas with more people
You may be confusing matters. To a living artist in general the market is not an advantage. The artist is not even an actor on said market, the market operates totally removed from the artist. Mostly the "well known artists" that you mention are either very very dead or among the chosen (very!) few "contemporaries" that for whatever reason are able to command exorbitant prices. Those artists that you hear about and those that gets any share of any market are an extremely small minority. It is of no help to any artist that there is an art market.

However, as to "quantifiable merits and results" that is very applicable to the art scene in general. An artist is above and beyond all else identified by his/her accumulated body of work.

Art has to bespeak truth to be worthy of the name.

Postmodernism scuttles truth, prepending a grade of 'F' to the word 'art'.
Could you elaborate on this argument? For something like a graph, I din't quite follow why a KV API is problematic or how you'd do it better. If you want to map node locality to KV locality you can certainly do that.

"The Western media is not putting out disinformation so much as focusing on the things that benefit them."

What do you mean - Western media doesn't lie, only shifts focus? Sorry that is just flat out wrong. The last couple of years should have tought you that.

"This moral relativism is the problem with the 'free speech' advocates. There is something as the 'truth' and, some parties are better at communicating it."

Um no sorry, your type of thinking is exactly the problem. There is no neutral way to establish truth, so nobody should be given the authority to say what is true or not.

"Both of these statements are essentially wrong."

People believe stupid shit - the solution is not to establish some "authority" forcing people to believe just some stupid shit.

The Trump fans may seem stupid for believing Biden stole the election, but his opponents were equally stupid for believing in the Russian collusion theory. Yet that was relentlessly pushed by mainstream media.

"This is why 'Putins words alone' can be dangerous."

Yeah because Russians have no other news sources. That is exactly why it is bad to limit access to news sources, as DDG is doing indirectly.

"it speaks to the fact that people aren't often even interested in the truth at all, but rather that which makes them feel better."

So DDG is just trying to make us feel better?

"Nothing is being hidden or censored, it's all there if you actively search for it."

That is such a hypocritical claim. Given all your arguments, you seem to be fully aware that that is not how information flow works.
According to the tweet, it was cancelled "because he’s a Russian writer". It doesn't matter what happened after that. If an academic institution steps in and cancels something because of someone's nationality, especially while following a herd of similar behaviour, that's pure cancel culture in action.

Maybe the term hasn't caught on in Italy but it sounds to me like the actual behaviour has.

Aside from the cancel culture term, I'd go even further and be clear. It's pure Russophobia, and it's no better than Islamophobia, antisemitism, homophobia, etc.

>And by production, I mean something you're going to handle with any frequency. The ease of composability is counter to the hardening necessity for everyday use.

Let's remind ourselves that this is a highly advanced proof-of-concept. If the issue really is simply the integrity of materials, that can be improved, and should not be considered a long-term limitation of the underlying technology: which is frankly too sophisticated from a design and software perspective to be set aside as a toy.

After all, the difference between a "Fisher-Price" drill and a "De-Walt" drill is the integrity of materials and underlying software. It is arguably a toy aesthetically, but (in accord with your argument) it is a few carbon fiber pieces away from becoming a useful generalized personal computing tool, the same way a drill is a useful generalized power tool.
Oddly enough, Yandex pass these tests with flying colors.

Using quotes in DDG used to work for me. Unfortunately, for a couple months now it doesn't. The results are garbage. Often they don't even include most of the words I typed, only the first one.
IBM was funding that work and just recently announced that they no longer want to go ahead with the couchdb-fdb implementation and will refocus their support toward V3 related tasks.

I'm not sure of their reasons but Apple recently backed away from things like providing windows fdb binaries and had some problems with their foundation site during the jlog incident that may have been interpreted as a lack of corporate commitment toward costs like hosting for the FOSS community, so IBM may have decided there was too much risk in having this dependency.
That kind of interoperability has nothing to do with the OSes though if you straight-up configure things. VLANs are VLANs, regardless if it's Linux, Windows, BSD, Cisco, ... on the other end of the cable. (And if you expect some kind of automatic configuration sync etc the answer is in reverse "doesn't work unless you buy everything from one vendor", for that part there is little standardization)
That's because there is no single "WAN interface". The WAN port on the router is often just a differently labelled Ethernet port.
Our high school did the egg drop project (design a device to drop an egg from a certain height without breaking), and I won it trivially by cutting out one section of an egg carton and wedging it inside a cardboard tube from an empty paper towel roll, with fins on one end to make sure it landed on its end. I figured that egg carton manufacturers were the experts in preventing eggs from breaking.
