None of this is important in my quest to buy a hot dog. I can't replace money with something that makes zero sense to me as a user of money.

Sure, it's technically cool, but it's not the currency it pretends to be.
Nobody is suggesting you shouldn't have consequences for what you say. People are saying you shouldn't be banned for things that legal.
Elon’s views are extreme in the sense that no current and popular social media is being run with a light touch approach to moderation. I’m not sure how he plans to combat scams and bots, two issues which go against an absolutist free speech approach.

I do think Elon being closely involved with running Twitter is a net good. We’ve tried a lot of different approaches to social media, now perhaps it’s time to try laissez faire.

The unfortunate side effect of experimentation is that if Elon succeeds in a Twitter takeover, Twitter is both more likely to become much more successful, _and_ more likely to die. Right now Twitter is floating in between, a solid offering with few prospects for growth and unlikely to be superseded in the near future.
This matches my feeling on nvim so far. I have yet to redo my vimrc to replace really slow plugins with Lua variants. I think that will make it much better. Maybe time to start from 0-vim config.
I drive, walk, and cycle under the assumption that every single other person in view is both suicidal and insane at the same time, and act accordingly. It works pretty well, all things told.

Practically this means traveling in such a way that I always have an “out” and it has saved me from my own stupidity multiple times.
>Putin isn’t a Nazi. His ideology, in its details, is quite different from that of Nazism.

no. Just read his war declaration speech. Classic Nazism. They had "master race" and inferior "races" of Jews and Slavics. Putin has master nation of Russians and inferior Ukrainians. And he is using that the same was as Hitler as a reason to claim the master race's/nation's right to the territory and to conduct ethnical cleansing and genocide there.

>especially when one considers the language policy issue (encouraging the use of Ukrainian language over Russian)

The "War and Peace" opens with the scene of an aristocratic party in St.Peterburg where French language - de-facto language of Russian nobility in the years before - is totally banned because of Napoleon invasion.
I hired a person of similar age without thinking about his age a single time and he left for another job at a larger FAANG 16 months later.

Thank you for the clarification. The double-negative form didn't come across that way, perhaps because it's used so often for emphasis (and not even considered ungrammatical in most languages other than English AFAICT).

To be fair, Jack finally stepped down in November and Parag replaced him as CEO. So there is new management that hasn’t really had time to shine or fail yet.
To say it explicitly: "I don't have any internet" was a hard constraint on everything from the beginning. Firefox's build requires it. Most distros require it.

Some of it was a bit awkward to actually use this way in the early days, but those harsh edges have been since sanded off.

Book recommendation:

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, by William L Shirer

Goes into excellent, albeit sometimes boring, detail about the culture of the greater German region at the time and how it made Nazi Germany possible, and then obviously the rise and fall of the Nazi Party.
Cybernetics, both as a term and idea carries an interesting history.

Norbert Wiener was himself a devastating critic of the immediate
Dr. Strangelove type conclusions his generation of peers immediately
took to. At the time a comparison was made to eugenics, though I
forget by whom within that circle.

It has incarnations not just in the obvious twentieth century
fascist/axis contexts (Germany, Italy, Japan) but then in South
America and as a Soviet version, both with leftist spins.

The most modern condemnation I have encountered (other than of
economists/doco-journalists like Varoufakis, Adam Curtis etc) is from
"The Invisible Committee" which offers an anarchist take [1]. []

> There are almost no groups ever in history "opposed to technological progress", even the "Luddites"

I would agree that the Luddites were not opposed to all technological progress, just the part that impacted their jobs. But this type of reasoning leads to the tragedy of the commons where each group refuses technology that replaces themselves. The end result is no technological progress. Anyway, "technological tyranny" is poorly defined and people just pick whatever they deem wrong as tyranny and whatever is good as a non-issue. We are under rule of the internet. Without it, society would cease to function. Are people opposed to the internet tyranny? We require a functioning society to have advanced health care, regardless of socialism/capitalism, are we under "advanced health care tyranny" because it is being used to push people into a functioning society?
I was today years old when I learned about "generic keys", "ltsb" and "ltsc". So this post was useful after all.

I have sudden deafness in my left ear (meaning: I just woke up deaf one day and they don't know why) in exactly the frequency range used for speech.

What became your solution to this situation?
Do you live in EU/Asia or do you live in the US?
It’s not that the police actually get defunded but that doesn’t help, it’s the general attitude of cities that supported the defund movement. Every law and decision made by these places encourages being soft on crime and criminals regardless of what they do with the budget. You could hire 125 more officers but tie their hands together so they can’t prosecute crime under $900 in damage or can’t charge criminals for possession of drugs unless they consumed them. Both of which Washington now reflects. All of the small crime just leads to people graduating to larger crime more often. We’re seeing a horrible uptick in all kinds of crime here.
My intuition for this is: given a fixed and known scoring range (say 0..100), when scoring very low there is simply a lot of room for overestimating yourself and when scoring very high there is simply a lot of room for underestimating yourself. So all noise ends up adding to the inverse correlation naturally.

What stops Musk from straw purchasing?

Microsoft is evil and tracks your actions. So you should totally trust a patched version of Windows published by ameliorated.info.

I'll take my chances with Microsoft-sanctioned telemetry over whatever this is.
Whether or not it was planned from the highest levels, did they not still engage in violent protest against the government? Is that not something that should be punished?
Sure, but at least an innocent driver is less likely to get arrested if the cyclist was breaking the law.
Generally I recommend factory reset, then hook up to a roku or similar and just use it as a dumb display. If it fails in that configuration return the TV immediately.
I think tying allergies to this research probably takes some effort. I will say, as someone in a similar boat, that I've gotten a lot of benefit from regular ol' allergy shots, as well as from low-grade steoroids like fluticasone when things get intense.

Separately, if you haven't heard about it already, only being able to breathe clearly out of one nostril at a time is normal, and helps your nose do its job well[0]. You may be noticing it more acutely because of your congestion.

That has no bearing on whether or not its right or legal.
While breathing during swimming is definitely “less easy” than normally, I would point out that when swimming you are not experiencing resistive airflow. But some trainer snorkels do include pieces to increase airflow resistance and it might have similar effects to IMST. I’m not sure if these are used by serious athletes though.
Ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.
The actions of the company don't support that statement though. If someone gets violent you aren't ever going to let them come back to the company and would probably have security or cops around for a couple weeks just to make sure they don't come back with a gun and kill a bunch of people.

So why then he almost won second time? Can't be more pro-establishment than US president and billionaire.

As an US outsider I really wish similar statements were true but I'll believe it only after elections. There are plenty of US folks who would ie vote for anybody who would keep their guns their own, no matter how ridiculous piece of s*t otherwise. And other polarizing topics where its easy to score some populist points.
Tactical battlefield nuclear Weapons in Ukraine?
Question - If USA and allies continue to supply sophisticated weapons systems into Ukraine that makes winning very hard for Russia are the use of tactical battlefield weapons inevitable? What do you think...
These are both pretty bad takes. We as a civilization do not mine the crust for uranium. We mine high-grade ore deposits. I think with our current resources and technologies we could sustain demand for about 100 years.

Nuclear energy is used at scale. Nuclear energy supplies ~70% of French electricity production.

What's more important is the development of nuclear technology. Not all uranium is used in current reactors. The majority of uranium is U238. If breeder reactors were developed, our existing resources could be utilized far more effectively.
Ideas on what Musk could do?

Maybe he could control much more twitter stock through friendly shareholders. e.g. I buy $1B of Twitter stock with money I borrow from Elon and pledge those shares to elect Elon's board members and what not. He'd just need 4 friendlies, and they don't even have to be billionaires.

What can we collectively do to help Musk take control of twitter? Are there are any GameStop short-squeeze strategies here?
are you requiring coding interviews?
That's easily fixed. In the power settings just change Power-off timeout to a day or never then it will just sleep and you can easily be back at whatever you're doing. I haven't had a huge power drain while sleeping so I'm not sure why they're so aggressive about turning it off by default.
I've written programs for digesting, parsing, and querying data out of many gigabytes of JSON REALLY REALLY fast by not doing any unnecessary memory allocation at all. Keeping everything into streaming APIs and out of that particular bottleneck is the key to doing this, really just no malloc, and that's what this article seems to be about kind of... When you manage to avoid that you can do it in pretty much any language. AWK/SED is perfect for when it comes to field-seperated data like CSV, these tricks are really old! When it comes to JSON I've just written my own stuff, though, because that nested-tree-structure is bound to be different for each data set.
At this point I think we better accept that each operating system has its flaws. Instead of forcing the OS to change, imo it’s better to choose the OS according to the job. I don’t see why anyone would install this and not even consider Linux..

All coffee served hot is hot enough to cause 3rd degree burns in seconds, particularly to children and the elderly who have thinner skin that burns quicker.

>The severity of tap water scalds depends on the temperature of the water and the length of time the skin is exposed. Human exposure to hot water at 140°F can lead to a serious burn within 3 seconds, whereas at 120°F a serious burn takes about 10 minutes. Because thinner skin burns more quickly, children and older adults are at increased risk. Young children are disproportionately affected by scald burns, as approximately 21,000 children are treated for scald burns from all causes each year, and scald burns represent an estimated 65% of burn hospitalizations for children ages 4 and under. Hot tap water causes nearly 25% of all scald burns and is associated with more scald burn deaths and hospitalizations in children than any other hot liquid.

> DK doesn't mean no correlation, it means inverse correlation.

No, it means that people's self-assessment, their prediction of what their test scores will be, is uncorrelated (or more precisely weakly correlated--that's what the original D-K data showed) with their actual test scores. Which is not what we would expect: we would expect that their predictions of their test scores would be strongly (or at least more strongly) correlated with their actual test scores. The question the D-K effect raises is why that is not the case, and it's a valid question--one which this article does not even attempt to answer.
I agree. I mean, more than four years earlier than Jan 6th 2021, David Frum wrote that when Republican voters understand they can no longer win by democratic means (that is, once they become a clear minority), they wouldn't reject the Republican Party, they'd reject democracy.

So this was really a long-observed trajectory.

Personally I think it is not over, because I'm not convinced the GOP is ready to accept it is destined for minority status, and because since that day an enormous amount of groundwork has been done to practically guarantee the next election is undermined.

I mean, the poll is biased in that most people who saw it are followers of Elon Musk already (and the split is probably 60-70% people who like him, the rest being journalists, people curious to see what he has to say, and yes, people who disagree with him).

It’s not an objective measure or poll, much in the same way that Trump (or any politician) blasting out “opinion polls” to their donors is not representative of the general US population, so much as the contingent that voted/donated to them.
Truck have a massively higher kinetic energy. Therefore they have different regulations. I really wouldn't want trucks driving around with 130km/h (let's not even speak about the environmental impact). The big issue with trucks in Germany is that Germany is a transit country and with just in time delivery freight trafic on the roads increased massively. So there are many more trucks on the road than originally planned for.
The Joy of Eating Insects – Gastro Obscura
Gotcha; never been subject to gardening leave myself, but I always assumed it exists for the same purpose as a noncompete, i.e. to provide a 'cooling off' period to lessen the competitive impact that the exiting employee can have by switching to another firm. I assumed that since it's been around a while in finance that the "paid noncompete" idea became a negotiated part of the comp.
From the FAQ:

-In order to secure the system properly, it is strongly advised to revoke administrator privileges from the default user.

This is ludicrous.
What does data oriented mean in practice?
Totally honest question: WHY does everyone think it was cool? I can still remember running it in Uni on some of the prized workstations with everyone raving about it but never got the point about it.

Back then I was on Windows and everything I saw on Sun systems looked weird, laggy and just super obscure to me. The whole UI felt like a mix of enterprise and neckbeard charme despite being non-open. It did not seem to run none any of the things I cared about back then. Later on I remembered Sun mainly in context of their stewardship of Java which also didn't help connecting any good feelings to it.

So maybe in 2022 someone could enlighten me about what exactly was so cool about Sun?
100% agree. I believe Microsoft would have made a mess of the acquisition. Microsoft had the same issues internally with their MSN/Live strategy at the time. Integrating Yahoo + MSN/Live was unlikely to succeed.

That is separate from saying that Yahoo shareholders would have benefited from selling to Microsoft.
MinGW does allow you to write Windows-specific code. The code in question could be ported, and in fact I think it might be now, but it still puzzled us why it didn’t work on Wine. I only wanted to help on this particular avenue for the sake of making Wine better. I had figured that it was most likely an issue with Wine that could be rectified. Unfortunately, emulating Windows ASLR behavior in userspace accurately may prove to be fairly difficult, so it’s probably not worth it :) I’m not convinced pseudo relocs actually work reliably on Windows in this way, although I could be wrong.
Plenty of others I'm sure will speak to whatever explicit ageism is out there in hiring, but there is a lot of tacit ageism as well. Even post-pandemic, most "FAANG" type companies still seem to insist on you living in Seattle or San Francisco. So if you do, good on you. If you don't, well if you're unmarried and don't have kids, it's probably pretty easy to relocate. If you don't want to uproot a family, or it's not entirely your say because your spouse has their own career and doesn't just follow you around the country, or you have medical issues and a good relationship with a provider near you and don't want to have to find a new one, it's more challenging. Same thing obviously applies to kids and spouses with medical issues as well. They may need to live where you already live. Ability and willingness to drastically change your life for a job correlates pretty heavily with age. It's especially frustrating when you say all of this on your public profiles and recruiters are constantly hitting you up with positions that require relocation anyway.
This is exciting! Bevy is the rendering engine equivalent of python’s Flask module in terms of ease-of-use & flexibility, and if you’re looking to render things I think it’s a pretty solid bet to put your time into.
In a right turn on green scenario, the driver mainly needs to be looking for pedestrians crossing and they will be crossing a different direction. In a right turn on red, their primary focus is on cars, limiting their attention on pedestrians. It also encourages creeping out into the crosswalk, blocking people from crossing on a signal.
Not advertising the fact that you previously signed a non-binding unenforceable noncompete is not lying by omission.
The older I get the more I realize the entire world revolves around marketing and impressions. Competence or experience/knowledge come in secondary to that, unfortunately.
I used to program on a platform where you could have two pointers (say, integer pointers) that were not equal to each other, yet a store to one would change the location pointed to by the other pointer. Hint: it was a very popular architecture in the 80s and 90s. Spoiler: The 8088. I'm not saying I want to go back to that era (yes, I do like flat address spaces) but even on modern systems today it's possible to map memory such that two different pointers point to the same physical memory (but yes, you have to go out of your way to do that these days).

If I could, I would disallow integer to pointer---there are (in my opinion) better ways to address a hardware register than to do

unsigned char *uart = (unsigned char *)0xdeadbeef; /* [1] */

But I don't think it will go away any time soon in C (Over 30+ years later, and we're still a few years out from 1's compliment and signed magnitude integers being deprecated).

[1] Here's one way using NASM:

global uart
absolute 0xdeadbeef
uart resb 1

Then in C code:

extern unsigned char uart;
> Because you didn’t mean to cause harm, it’s called culpable negligence.

Strong disagree.

It comes to duty of care, and failing that duty is the culpable act. It has nothing to do with intent to cause harm, rather with the lack of intent to pay enough attention to avoid a collision. Otherwise fault is not found (e.g. a third car pushed them into the first)
Haha, that reminds me of the AI Paperclip maximizer problem, just applied to humans instead.
The answer to that question, per the Second Amendment, is supposed to be "rise up with your guns in hand and kill them all."

Unfortunately, America's cultural worship of the founding fathers and gun culture has never led it to seriously consider other approaches, as the armed militia was widely considered to be the only necessary bulwark against tyranny, and the only solution that could be trusted. Then it turned out that militia was more than happy to welcome tyranny under certain terms.

So I guess we're just fucked now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes I like the bar analogy better, thank you!
Do you really think these poison pills are not thought through?

Yes, they are newly minted shares.

The poison pill applies to any person, entity or group. If Elon has other shell companies, or even just people acting in concert with him, they are all excluded from the right to buy. They all get diluted.
They towed it somewhere first before it sank though, right?
Right, I too remember so many people discussing how bad it was for humans that Bezos bought the Post, and I don’t follow print media news closely.
