Proprioception is the overall sense of knowing where your body parts are.

You don’t just have a bunch of ‘proprioceptor’ nerves dedicated solely to that task, you have a whole wealth of signals coming into your brain that it aggregates into that overall sense.

Similar to how vision isn’t just the raw signals on your optic nerve, but a whole machinery around filling in the details and blanks and saccades from memory and inference to constitute a full visual sense.

Is there any solution to auto-dismiss these stupid things?
At the risk of being pedantic, I assume the parachute and harness are still necessary clothing.
Yeah, the definition of a cold war is that the two parties don't come directly to blows. But I feel like there needs to be a credible challenge, and Russia's military is today light years ahead of where they were when they invaded Georgia (even though, yeah, it still sucks). I just don't think their sabre rattling had anyone in the US government all that worried through the first decade of the 2000s—the US and Russia collaborated on several counter-terrorism efforts
This would assume a linear growth in users I guess? I'd be interested to know if this is the case. I have followed Levine for a few years but I feel like he kind of exploded in popularity at some stage over the last couple of years.
I did .sol several months back. I never registered an ENS for that name, or the equivalent on Solana. One of the ironies though is that smart contracts on Ethereum and EVMs are mostly written in Solidity which makes .sol file extensions. Funny for a Solana namespace to use .sol

I also did one of the 3, 3 variations in support of various Ohm forks or other trends, many on that list have .eth and a variation of (3, 3)

people just went back to something simpler

it was a fun, and lucrative, trend

I have wondered about this also. I do most of my browsing in incognito windows, where cookies are not remembered once the window is closed. Am I correct in thinking it does not matter if I accept everything, since it will all be nuked in short order? Or is there a chance I am unwittingly allowing cross-session tracking based on IP or other attributes?

2. Improve my writing skills.
3. Learn about driving traffic to a website.

Experience, perhaps?

That maps partially to my own experience. The majority of folks I know who identify as 'conservative' are older, less tech savvy, and tend to use whatever they had set up a long time ago. @AOL? @Yahoo? @MSN? If it's working, they'll just keep using it.

A few I know have made a transition to gmail, I think at the behest of younger children (as in, they may have set it up for them during a holiday visit, etc). But in my own life, with the majority of conservatives I know where I also know their primary email, it's not gmail.
An important detail here is that the raise was a whole year ago, back when Block's market cap was far higher: I don't have their issuing/buyback data on hand, but their shares were flying as high as $270 per share, when today they are at $123.

So the 95B is probably more than Stripe would be worth today if they raised. Compared to the old Block share price, Stripe's valuation back then was good, but not crazy.

xi-editor has some reasonably sophisticated handling for large files
No it doesn't, those sites could very easily still be stupid, boring, wrong, offensive, dishonest, or otherwise time-wasting. I don't see how the presence or absence of Javascript has any effect on the content which is what you actually care about.

Unless of course, you are like some Hacker News commenters and you seemingly only use the internet to complain about Javascript, in which case that appears to be a circular and self-fulfilling requirement you've created for yourself.
One point not brought up is that Chase may not be an honest broker here. I've seen both sides of a "charge back" that had the bank lying to both parties while soaking up a bunch of fees. Telling the customer that it had been resolved in the company's favor while telling the company that it had been resolved in the customer's favor. Taking both the funds and fees for themselves.

Affirm might well be correct that the bank has not really resolved the chargeback despite what Chase is telling him.
Build native for every platform. The amount of work supposedly saved by using cross platform solutions is grossly exaggerated and frequently negative.

Most development time isn’t typing code but actually architecting the solution. You will go through multiple iterations to get your UX right. Lots of things like graphics, GUI mock-ups, database design, file formats can be reused.

In cross platform development one too often ends up wasting time on problems introduced by buggy layers on top of the native frameworks.

Every time I have compare my development speed using native tools vs a lot of the cross platform web stuff, native wins hands down.

But it depends on where your skills are. If you are more skilled with web technologies then your experience will likely be different.

I had the issue with the Flatpak version in an unmodified install on Fedora Silverblue 35, but my experience is apparently hardly unique.
> However, I feel a bit sad at the state of general purpose build tools (Bazel/Pants/Buck, make, GitHub Actions, Maven, Nix) or cloud-based IDEs (Cloud9, Codespaces). These tools come off as too complex to operate and build on top of...

I definitely agree, although I've found Please (please.build) to potentially be a solution in this area. It is a lot simpler, smaller, and more modern than Buck and Bazel, but shares similar properties as to be familiar (I.e. the buildfile syntax). I think it is supposed to be easier to extend with other languages, but I haven't tries that myself.
To be fair that level of self-awareness is usually a good sign

It's vaguely reminiscent of Vim's implementation, in the sense that I think, for large files, in it's default config, Vim keeps most of the text in it's swap file and pages it in as needed.

Vim's implementation also feels somewhat line-oriented in that if you load a large JSON file that has everything on 1 line and you try to edit that line, uh... it will be sluggish, but if you do, like %!jq '.' and format it, you can them move around the file a little easier.

Edit - What the heck while I'm at it:

Emacs - Historically used a Gap-Buffer which optimized more for locality of edits than loading large files. It doesn't suffer though as much from heap fragmentation though as the linked-list of strings type approach.

Monaco - The editor in VS Code recently went from a linked-list of strings to a PieceTree buffer. Which basically loads a the whole file into an immutable buffer and then uses the PieceTree to manage the edits.

Others - Lately people keep talking about Ropes, which is another tree type deal with extra-smarts specifically for text editing. I don't know of a game-changing editor like the others mentioned that uses it tho.
Increasing comp can be much more than "doubly effective." It's unlikely to triple, quadruple, ten-times, etc, your comp, but in the industry talked about here it's far from impossible and if you only ever focus on your expenses you might blind yourself entirely to those opportunities.
> It would be cool to see the best implementation of this JS based system however I feel like it would suffer from the some of the same problems as the Java system: namely with so many vendors, how can you ensure that each implementation will contain a robust JS rendering engine?

Like I said the primary rendering engine was primarily XML driven and XML-based. So far as I'm aware the only implementation in HD-DVD's history was Microsoft's (which was a small complaint among the hardware vendors that there was only one firmware for the "base OS" of HD-DVD players), and it was incredibly performant (because it wasn't using scripting to run animations and such). It supported JS for scripting, but that scripting was almost never used in the vast majority of disc menus, and it was probably a very bare JS engine at that and never needed to guarantee performance. The JS could be under-powered because it was an optional add-on for small bits of interactivity like "games and quizzes", it was not driving hardly anything in day-to-day menus. Think "early days of the web" (or maybe HN itself): almost everything is basic HTML and JS is used sparingly for a minimum for just a small subset of interactive features. But if you built an HTML specifically to be a nicely animated Table of Contents for a movie and had years of DVD movie menus to compare for best practices.

> How would the HD-DVD laser cope with having to read multiple streams? or does it read it ahead of time and just cache it somehow? One of the biggest annoyances of DVD was the fact that some player implementation had horrific seek times and so the menu transitions were mind numbingly slow.

Good questions. I'm not as much a hardware person as a software person, so I don't know the answers beyond that I just recall the approach chosen by the HD-DVD standard was considered expensive in contrast to DVD or to Blu-Ray hardware standards at the time. As a user of HD-DVD, there was some noticeable seek lag in the menus, as I recall, but it was kind of magic when it worked.
You're 100% right. But I would say that Wordle's success is unprecedented for web games. But I think it's part of the viral nature of the color squares tweets tbh.

Probably should note that it gets updates outside of its normal product lifecycle in the same way Pixel phones get updates, from and by other vendors. It does not get firmware/bios updates, will not be microcode patched for spectre/meltdown. An unsupported Pixel phone will not get modem or sensor/wifi firmware updates after support gets dropped. Maybe it will not be a problem, maybe a problem like the sib24[1] issue from a year or so ago will be there.

> I can't speak for the US. In Britain you don't really need photo id for much. A driving licence, if you drive (plenty don't), a passport if you want to go abroad, or something if you're young (or look young) and want to drink alcohol. I don't think I need mine more than once a year or so.

That's true in the US too. You don't need it so much day to day, but it's required for many important processes [1] so it's a big handicap to not have one.

[1] e.g. opening a bank account (https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/banking/how-to-open-a-ban...), traveling on an airplane, and I think you also need one to get a job on the up-and-up (because of required work authorization checks).
Check out Duff Room Correction for an old school open source option. There's also Room EQ Wizard, but that is not open source.

In high end home theaters there were proprietary installer tools like JBL's ARCOS (which I worked on). And there are pro calibration tools like Smaart.

In any case it's some combination of measurement, gain calibration, delay compensation, and generation of FIR or IIR filters to control frequency and phase response. Followed by subjective tweaking by the installer. Plus maybe some secret sauce for various things in the proprietary algorithms.
Any serious conversation about changing the equation needs to start from the perspective of capacity utilization. We certainly need to increase the number of housing units, however, if the utilization rate remains the same or drops, you've really not created any new housing. In southern California we see new projects being built that are $3,600 / month for a 600 sqft 1br/1ba apartment in mediocre neighborhoods or next to freeways. From a bay area perspective, this may seem cheap, but wages are lower here and IPO opportunities are not as rich. Looking at public documents for the REIT that owns one of these aforementioned luxury properties showed a 40% occupancy rate, which wasn't a surprise given the price.

So until municipalities want to really study the overall capacity and exactly how it is being used, changing tax policies will be unlikely to address whatever the real issue happens to be. Our problem is not simply "supply and demand", it's more subtle than that.

If I were still in the multi-family residential marketplace I'd be buying and converting to short-term rentals in cute neighborhoods. It would be the highest and best use of capital deployment under current legal structures.

Wouldn't a SANKEY diagram showing incoming units and utilization of such units be a nice way of seeing the problem and making adjustments? Having such data would be fascinating.
That’s a rather harsh comment.
They lacked the capacity to build transistors due to communism and scarcity for certain resources/skills. They relied on electronics from overseas. Since they had tons of vacuum tubes already they could build jets. It was a welcomed side effect it was emp resistant.
I used Notepad++ on Windows; now on MacOS I use TextMate. It's as simple and lightweight as Notepad++, and if I understand correctly, it has the save feature you're looking for. If you Command+Q without saving to a file, the contents will still be there the next time you start it.
It does, the air flow going downward on your skin tells you your arm went up.

I recall my arm being very numb, I had to poke myself strongly to feel it, I could move it but I had no idea where it went without looking at it, multiple times I was surprised to find it in a spot I didn't know it was. As I recovered sensation in my skin I regained proprioception gradually. Really trippy experience.
You were talking about free speech:

> Free speech in this case is code for saying anything without consequence and weaponizing it at morons.

I was just curious if the government's guarantee not to censor political speech is just as ill-advised. A quick "yes" would take about 5 seconds to give, or of not, just a short sentence about what the motivation is for keeping the government out of policing political speech. e.g. "If the government can suppress political speech, then..."

Doesn't seem like a huge ask for the curious!
Book recommendations for the aspiring (chess) beginner?
This is kind of OP's fault, right? I don't think it was appropriate to initiate a charge back on a payment to affirm since they provided their service to OP, that is they already paid for whatever OP was buying. I have a feeling that timing between OP opening the chargeback and the shipping of the item was actually coincidental.

I'd think if you paid affirm and the merchant hadn't shipped the item, then your recourse would be to go to Affirm, not your credit card you used to pay affirm.
Like, this is amazing. As an accomplishment, very cool, I'd be proud.

If you examine the history of the cold war, you'll see that rather than any sort of deliberate control over the unfolding states of the system as a whole, we've simply been very very lucky. Stupendously lucky. If that doesn't reinforce what I said, nothing will.

Here's some folks who also think exactly that:

"Luck, in this context, seems to mean the exact opposite of control. It’s all that prevented bad outcomes when things could easily have gone in a different direction, no matter what anybody wanted. The historical policymakers who have invoked “luck” have included Robert S. McNamara, who was defense secretary during the Cuban missile crisis; Dean Acheson, special envoy of President John F. Kennedy at the time; ambassador Gerard C. Smith, chief U.S. delegate to the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks in 1969; former defense secretary William Perry, former secretary of state George Shultz, former national security adviser and secretary of state Henry Kissinger, former chairman of the Senate’s Armed Services Committee, Sam Nunn, and former head of Strategic Air Command and Strategic Command, Gen. George Lee Butler."

Is it the bullying kind, talking down to you to try to get you to donate by shaming you? Or telling you Don Jr is going to be showing his dad this week's top donor list, and he's embarrassed that he can't share your name with his dad. He's embarrassed because he already promised his dad that you were going to donate - don't embarrass Don Jr by not donating right now!

I really have no idea how these pleas can appeal to anyone.
Do we actually know how physicists define "mass" in this context? Because, in physics many words have technical meanings that only physicists can know. For instance, as a layman when I see the word "particle" I imagine a spherical thing with an extension in space. But a physicist would laugh at me because in physics a particle is not a particle, it can be a statistical bump in data, it can be a field, it can be a wave, anything but a spherical particle. But a physicist would call a wave a particle and see nothing wrong with it. The same goes for mass, what physicists call mass can be voltage for instance. So does anyone know what "mass" means in this context?
There are many purchases I have made with Affirm to take advantage of pay-over-time without interest. In these arrangements I imagine the product is giving Affirm a cut.

Also for bigger purchases, it's better than a credit card. I pay my Amex balance off every month, but during the pandemic I used Affirm to purchase a home gym setup, and paid it over the course of 6 months at a much lower interest rate.

They are definitely not predatory in my view, but I don't have the perspective of a low-income person anymore.
Can you expand on what's broken and how Stripe is trying to address it?
The lending industry in the US is very powerful and regularly lobbies congress to reign in consumer protection action from government agencies like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which often issue guidance to limit the offerings of many types of consumer lenders.

The sad truth is that looking poor in the US is culturally frowned upon, which often drives people to overextend their credit in order to fit in. People are quite often encouraged through advertising to improve their status through consumption in the short term at the expense of the long term. It's heinous, but that's America for you.
Most experienced crypto users would use multiple wallets. But advertising any of your wallet addresses is asking for people to send you scam coins. It just pollutes your wallet and makes it that much more likely that you will trip up and interact with a scam smart contract.
Looks like Levine scheduled everything written after 2019 to autopublish at noon, unless he finished after noon, and then it would publish later in the day.
I use "I don't care about cookies" so in 99% of the case I have nothing to click, in any case my WebVM [1] start with a clean profile on any run (I have a small wrapper script to run the WebVM, via firejail, it wipe the profile restoring a pre-made one, re-built on weekly basis) so cookies do not last anyway even if fingerprint do not change.

I do not have used so far custom cookies settings, nor I consider trustable what they say anyway. For ads, js etc I have NoScript + TPRB (with the policy of allowing just the minimum js needed on the sites I care, hoping FF Reader suffice in other cases) and uBlock origin + others. I just allow some ads on veeeeery few friendly websites/YT channels if they are not exaggerated.

For cookies in general, I simply reject the idea of WebApps, for me the web MUST be just html+CSS. Desktops must be desktops not WebVM bootloaders and apps+data should be under MY control not under my WebVM and third parties control. Some simple examples: why the hell banks have websites that are more than just advertisements and contacts information? OpenBank is an example API mandatory between banks in SEPA area so not something built by a geek in a garage, and a client who talk OpenBank, a desktop one, that aggregate all my banks, with my digitally signed transactions stored locally, with the same UI and no crappy ads etc on my desktop is far better for me and far easier for the bank (far less bandwidth, far less infra development and maintenance costs etc). Similarly for maps. Similarly even for damn contact infos. An RFC to publish contact infos easy to download as vcards etc should be the norm and APIs makes integration in desktop apps easy and good environments, built as classic desktops (Xerox etc) can make such integration FAR more powerful for end users and far more cheap for anyone. WebApps are needed only by GAFAM and alike.

Yeah without knowing anything about the implementation when I see "I opened a 500MB file and it's taking 1.3GB of memory" that's just my first guess. Maybe it's wrong.
One has a choice between learning enough about Vim to replicate arbitrary workflows/functionality in it, or using other softwares that do those things out of the box and clicking the "Vim mode" check box in the settings.

Both are perfectly valid, but they are going to appeal to different kinds of people, with different priorities.
Isn't throwing out the checklist exactly how Sully was able to make his decision? He realized from experience that he was too low to make it through the checklist in time, and jumped ahead knowing things needed to have a hurry-up applied.
Also it’s hard to know if they will.
