I agree with the Design System and I apply simplicity and user centric design throughout my sites as well, for example at Ypson [1], I also advocate for this through Leanternet [2]. Wish more people would go against the flow of multi megabytes sites with large hero images and endless frameworks, worst offenders being the ones who load entire frameworks to just display a few lines of text.

Please, focus on the user as your primary goal of your website, the rest is fluff and can be trimmed. Thank you!

Flipside, Canada is still trying to destroy their culture and assimilate the natives. Here's another quote of active legislation.

The great aim of our legislation has been to do away with the tribal system and assimilate the Indian people in all respects with the other inhabitants of the Dominion as speedily as they are fit to change.

The recurse center is a special place. I attended Jan-Mar 2020, before yeeting myself out of NYC (because wow, what a time).

It helped re-instill my faith in creative computing and reminded me that on the other side of the text there are people on keyboards doing the thing. I spent most of my time there messing with emacs (shoutout Eric+Zach @ emacs-nyc!), collaborating, and giving small talks on things like mpd and colemak -- you really are encouraged to share whatever you want (I remember someone's tutorial about home cultivated yogurt that was really cool).

My time there helped set the "hacker spirit" tone of my sabbatical (which I took with a goal of pivoting to being a hired clojure programmer), and drove me to write and share much more, one post of which even ended up here![1]

There is a lot of communication that comes for "free" with the physical space -- I was much more active in the zulip chat after my RC batch than I ever was during my time there. They have done a good job mimicking the physical experience in a virtual setting now though, and have iterated nicely on what makes a virtual experience different than the physical.

If you're curious about attending and can take the time, would recommend! (there's no cost): https://www.recurse.com/apply

Many years ago I have indeed used this method, which has the advantage of a very high rate for the random bits.

There is no need to tune to a dead channel. Instead of connecting a TV cable or antenna, it is enough to connect a coaxial resistive terminator on the TV input connector. Then all the channels are dead.

Unfortunately this is a dead technology, so I have abandoned it after I retired my last motherboard with PCI connectors.

You can do something similar with the audio microphone input, but the TV tuners had a much higher bandwidth and a much higher sensitivity. For good results with the microphone input you need to make an analog noise generator, instead of using just a resistor, as it was enough for a TV tuner.
One of my biggest pain points with macOS, which I still haven't adjusted to after over 15 years, is the inconsistent behavior of Home and End. This "just worked" in Windows, with the same behavior in every application. On macOS it's per application which makes it so unpredictable I hesitate to even try/use it.

I crushed my ribcage & sternum 20+ years ago & still live with pain in my shoulders and the vertebrae below my neck. When my day is running well(enough), the pain is present but barely registers in my consciousness. When non-physical tasks are a chore &/or I am depressed, they burn hotter than the sun. Physical activities seem to be the only remedy to abate it. I've found nothing beyond exercise relieves the pain when it's lit up: anti-inflams / pain killers don't do anything, chiropractors didn't help and imaging indicated no trauma to my spine. Perhaps it's some sort of arthritis or psychosomatic reminder, IDK, it's just another item on my 'getting old sucks' list.

Well yeah, but still, "my exit" usually refers to the exit where you live, or at least where you want to go to, while a turn is something everybody driving along the road has to take. Of course, if you fail to take the turn and crash your car, then you may or may not refer to it as "my turn" in the future, but until then, it's usually not that special to you.

But now I'm really overthinking it ;)
The 11 Commandments of Hugging Robots
Well Ethereum has enabled a sea of scams and a carnage of Web3 hype, ICOs, NFTs, Tokens, DAOs, DeFi rug-pulls and everything else using so-called 'smart contracts' (that are not what they say they are) that all ruined it from the very start.

90% of the creations on Ethereum are useless and there is little there that is worth looking at. From the start, it was not designed to scale at all hence its sluggish throughput and high fees. Now it is going to become even more centralized when it moves to PoS.

Might as well drop the decentralization claims then.

Something is only a sound investment if you know all sides are bound by rule of law. If you were to put money into a shell game at the local unlicenced market, then that would not be classed as a sound investment (even if you did know how to "beat the system" there's a good chance an accomplice would mug you for your winnings after you walked away). Or if you received a cold call from someone claiming to be a stockbroker with "insider knowledge" encouraging you to buy shares that they "know" are about become very valuable, that would not be classed as a sound investment.

With cryptocurrency it is the same. The combination of zero consumer protection and anonymity is the perfect breeding ground for fraud. If you were being charitable, you could call converting fiat money into cryptocurrency a gamble, but certainly not a sound investment. The only people who will try to convince you otherwise are those set to gain from the fraud.

Using C++ is an anti-pattern

That is why I write all my code in Pascal, where you can enable bound checking for []

This is really cool. I wonder about whether or not putting the ISA itself directly in hardware is the right path forward, versus "virtualizing" it and compiling the bytecode again down to (yet another) architecture. It's a much better fit for hardware than a lot of "virtual" ISAs, though. There are some reasons you might do this, but then again, reasons not to. Netronome uses this virtual approach instead of baking eBPF into their processors, from my cursory understanding. An advantage of that is agility; FPGAs are only so agile compared to a software compiler and on top of that new evolving features have impacts on things like clock frequency, testing, etc.

Beyond that there are also some big "what ifs" about eBPF; for example the fact it just uses the underlying Linux kernel memory model for concurrency. Maybe this is good. Maybe this is bad. I don't know. But it has a big impact on the underlying design of the memory subsystem for any real design. Intuitively I want to say the concurrency abstractions in eBPF should have always been much, much higher level from the start for reasons like this (for example, maybe it would have just been easier to flat-out introduce the concept of transactions, if you're already going to write a verifier to check every incoming program. This is much more difficult than what the verifier does today, but it's also a very well explored one and makes the machine memory model irrelevant. It's not the kind of stuff kernel developers do or think about, though...) But it's not, so it's still definitely something to think about. Do alternative vendors handle this already if they offload programs?

There is also the current state we're in where "what is a valid eBPF program" mostly just comes down to "whatever the Linux kernel says is a valid eBPF program", so you can probably get into situations where code emitted by Clang will work in one of the two, and not the another (note: you can already get into situations where Clang will emit code from valid input that the kernel then rejects, so this probably isn't a very difficult example to construct.) This project already has some differences in ABI versus Linux, though, so...

Overall this is still a really cool project, though. You'd have to do something like this to answer all the above, and it bills itself as an experiment. You could still have a lot of fun with this even ignoring all that. And it doesn't use Verilog. 10/10.
Can somebody tell me why we don't just classify bots as legitimate users and get rid of all this shit? If you want to prevent insane amounts of traffic, you can already use rate-limiting strategies. Why does anyone care if it's a bot or a person? Are we just unable to scale our systems to meet such demand? Cloudflare even offers queuing in extreme cases, if I'm not mistaken.

I have a silly anecdote. So, my wife wanted a Louis Vuitton purse - one of the more modest ones, which is relevant.

Being more affordable, the demand for it is amongst the highest of their offerings presumably. But, they artificially create a scarcity scenario so it's more desirable.

This then leads to bots farming the page endlessly and invididuals struggling to get them. So, the bots win anyway.

Why don't they just accept a waitlist if they're going to be so silly about it? Or verify you are a human being using some kind of private identity service when you attempt to purchase your cart? How does throwing up blocks on the page solve anything?

One, you can't keep politics out of code. Code, like sports, like games, like movies, etc. is inherently political. Who has access to software? Who doesn't? Who is in the training set? Who isn't? Who gets the education necessary to write code? Who doesn't?

But I agree, you should target these improvements to open source tools you use, care about, or are a contributor to. It's ok to have a bot assist in writing the PR, but you should deploy it narrowly.

> Just because an online retailer grows it doesn’t mean they have to start allowing third-party sellers.

Why do you believe this? Not one of the top 10 online retailers in the US doesn’t have third party sellers. It appears to be the case in practice that growing does require opening the doors to anyone and everyone, which obviously increases the scale of business a retailer can offer. There are both reasons and evidence to suggest third party sales are what it takes to grow to even one hundredth the size of Amazon.

> seeing what is happening to Amazon’s reputation, that seems like a bad long term move.

This seems like a big assumption. There is a very long list of corporations and monopolies with relatively bad reputations that are doing just fine and have for a long time. Reputation isn’t a good measure for the success or future prospects of a company, once it gets large enough.
you're working from the assumption that this could actually be deployed, and work as expected. It would not.
Here's a training video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enJBk8TKV9Q) for creating CICS Screens, which are the type of thing I think the poster was referencing. My first job was writing CICS CoBOL. There was a steep learning curve, like vim, but the users would remember the transaction/workflow codes, usually 4 character abbreviations, which would be keyed somewhere on the screen, the map/form would open and they user would tab and cursor until they press some form of submit, then then next screen in the workflow would open. The users would learn which codes took them to the screen they needed and became very fast. These were all text screens, normally 3270, with no mouse. And most often had excellent mechanical keyboards.

Human-level intelligence? Dog-level intelligence would be quite the achievement, and we're nowhere close! Will we be there in 20 years?

Alternatives would be:

- Or the linux shortcuts Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E

I’d argue that the first rule of growing and preserving wealth is to avoid quasi-religious entanglements with it.

Arguments about sovereignty and control are all ultimately specious, as they depend on a global infrastructure paid for by “fiat” dollars to exist. Your “sovereignty” over a random number is meaningless without the network that facilitates its transfer.

To date, crypto has proven to be a uniquely awful store of wealth. It was initially a magical way to transfer value cheaply, but the growth of it got rid of the “cheap” part.
And same for EcoHealth, which is just a business.
I think the GP is getting at the fact that, as a design, it is impressive enough to get media attention but not robust and comprehensive enough to be an actual real-world product. So much more industrial design would have to go into the concept in order for it to be available in the marketplace.

It reminds me of those news stories that pop up from time to time about some high schooler inventing a robot to clean up plastic waste from the ocean. A neat concept, and laudable, but the design they've produced has a whole litany of flaws that they did not address because they don't have real world marine engineering experience - susceptibility to corrosion, bio-fouling, etc.
> It isn't difficult to set up multisignature wallets

I don't think setting up the wallet is the hardest part. The hardest part would be to get into a legally binding agreement with the other parties, that you depend on from now on to access your "wealth", the very situation that crypto-currencies were supposed to avert.

If you replace the radio signal source at the radio receiver input with a shielded resistive terminator, you no longer have any attack channel (because now the radio receiver has only an output, but no input).

For this purpose, radio receivers are just very sensitive amplifiers. Any very sensitive amplifier will output noise when its input is terminated on a resistor, both amplified resistor noise and additional noise from sources internal to the amplifier.

When you use much less sensitive amplifiers than radio receivers, e.g. audio amplifiers, a resistor at the input may be not enough and you must put there a source of greater noise, e.g. an avalanche breakdown diode (a.k.a. Zener diode).
You can get even more Emacs bindings by providing an appropriate ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict; example:

My understanding is that SQLite tries to maintain compatibility with Postgres in the subset of SQL that it supports. So if this program reaches a reasonable level of maturity I would love to be able to use it with pre-existing products that were designed to use Postgres as a backend, to substitute SQLite as a drop-in replacement. One might hope that this could work for products that don't use Postgres's more cutting-edge features.

> Birds are mostly monogamous

This is quite misleading without further context.

My understanding is that a majority of birds are observed to be "socially monogamous"; that is they form a pair lasting a single breeding season, and the pair works together to raise that season's brood. It's only a minority of species in which the same pairs reform across multiple seasons. I don't know how well understood this is; at least for sea birds, which are general among those to form long-term relationships, I've heard a theory that it might be related to the fact that fishing is an aquired skill that should improve with age; finding enough fish to feed both parents and chicks is difficult, and therefore there's a bigger risk if you change partners. The difficulty of finding food, and long time after birth before the offspring become self-sufficient, means these birds can typically only raise one or at most two young per year, so again the cost of failure is high.

Even though in general the rate of social monogamy among bird species is high, this doesn't mean that birds are always parenting their own offspring. In some species (kittiwakes, terns) parenting others' chicks is really rare, but in other species there can be high rates of sexual infidelity e.g. some studies suggest that ~20% of chicks in flycatchers and ~30% in cardinals are unrelated to one (or, less commonly, both) parents. The latter may seem surprising, but of course brood parasitism (e.g. cuckoos) is well known, and there's a same-species variant of that in some species where a female will intentionally lay some eggs in the nest of another pair.
