10.6.8 was the absolute pinnacle for OSX for me, but I can't resonably use it daily anymore, so now Mojave is my stopping point. Too many of my necessary applications don't run on Catalina. I worry about the security of staying behind, but none of the new features are relevant to me.

It depends whether you're a true craftsman, a capitalist, or somewhere in between.

I've seen some ugly crap code that made loads of money. Still pig lipstick imho.
I would suggest that retweets should not be implemented. They’re the main vector for toxic discussion amplification, and they add nothing to a conversation. It’s a lazy way of participating in a mob.
Obviously having multiple accounts can aid in some trolling efforts, but I think most trolls aren't happy merely trolling themselves on threads that other people might later see or participate in.

> Javascript and webdev is also a decent option since you can build such interesting and shareable web apps quickly, but the frameworks and scaffolding can be intimidating and painful.

JavaScript can be a great choice for some people as long as you don't try to build a production-level web app from the get go. Start them with a bare HTML file loaded up in the browser and only scale up from there when they start actually having the problems that the scaffolding is designed to solve.
Actually, some real cases are as weird as the hypothetical ones. A couple comes to mind: a guy rents a house in the middle of nowhere with the condition that he won't play the grand piano that's in the middle of the living room. And another one, a guy suicides after his doctor diagnoses him with a terminal cancer.

In case you didn't guess: the first guy played the piano and the doctor was having an affair with his patient's wife.

So is playing the piano a valid cause for termination if nobody can hear it? Of course what every student ask is how the hell did the landlord know it was played?

And, providing suicide is not illegal where the second case happened, is the doctor guilty of incitement to a non-crime?

This assumes that there is a chance to create a matched book. This is usually possible for something "liquid" like a big league sporting event, but not always for poorly-followed sports or weird prop bets on low-interest games. Even for liquid games, the book is not always perfectly matched and they may end up with some actual exposure to the outcome of the event.

In any case, in this scenario its just one guy looking to make a bet. There is definitely SOME line, possibly million-to-one or higher, that a smart book (or any rational actor) should be willing to take the bet.
It gets worse the more edge cases and "what ifs" it can handle. Code that looks beautiful generally only works in the happy cases.
As I understand it, every message needs a counter-message. A sock puppet wouldn't be able to advance a thread unless the principal user engages with the sock puppet also. Right?
Hmm. Is IPA sufficiently nuanced to represent speech as pronounced by a native speaker without the leeway that would permit a non-native accent?

Put another way, it was my impression that IPA was coarse grained enough to permit at least some different accents to be represented by the same IPA "spelling".

Blocking is sometimes necessary when someone is behaving as an abusive troll, or switches from normal conversation to hurling personal abuse.

Yes, it can be abused by people who think that having the last word is "winning". One way to address that might be to add "Fred blocked Sam" to a thread in which both Fred and Sam previously posted, so everyone knows what happened.
I don’t think most people would consider adding a personal finance course to a public school curriculum a mandate.

Beauty is perspective, no? Change the viewing angle, change how you see the piece, how you experience the art and how it makes you feel changes.

Revenue was probably the wrong word. Is it doing what it was intended to do? Does it do it well? That’s the beauty, not what it looks like in a text file.

It's not a "loophole exploit", reddit simply gives the user arbitrary control of who they want to block.
That's if you define privacy as you knowing something and others not knowing.

My post-lobotomy view of privacy is all my secrets are known to the people I hate the absolute most ("I hate them with perfect hatred // I call them mine enemies" PSALMS KJV), and while I thank them as enemies (Matthew KJV) I do not forgive them, the intention is someday they thank me in return, as the Christians they claim to be, for acting against them as an enemy.

So then, what is privacy? If you're lobotomized, privacy is divulgation. I cannot erase my lobotomist's memory, and I cannot recollect all my own selfsame memories, so instead I divulge, and divulging is privacy.

Understand this: privacy is about who knows what. Who do you want to know what? Some options are out of the question for me. After all, there is a condition right on the box of all cryptographic products, in this case especially 1Password which I used before, during, and after my lobotomy, which is this: cryptography is about forcing the government to torture you. Not just the government though! If you get tortured? Forget it! Warranty void!

Well so then what? Nobody asks, OK so I get tortured, THEN WHAT? ANSWER ME! And I think I'm supposed to not be able to see the answer, I've been conditioned to avert my attention to the answer, not see the ads for the answer like fucking literal pathological banner blindness. So many ads I wanted so badly to see, I just couldn't see. The most targeted advertising, missing completely. Like it's invisible to me, I read the statute in the Federal Codes about torture, how it was defined, and I simply couldn't read the lawyer's advertising with a phone number to call them.

So privacy? Before torture, divulging works against privacy. After torture, it works in its favor.

Given the state content licensing, I actually think that is the case. Netflix cant compete financially with Apple or Amazon, or on content against Disney, Paramount or WB. HBO is an absolute best case scenario, but HBO was owned by Warner and ATT, so they had (IMO) better resources.

Netflix is a zombie unless they can either produce some very popular series or the government starts taking antitrust seriously and either divorces producers and distributors or forces FRAND licensing for all content.
> You deliberately chose badminton, then made a pretty big claim about those players.

I guess what I really meant is that maybe tennis pays better than squash or badminton, but uses very similar skillsets. I was not in anyway proposing they could play in the NFL specifically (hence saying "some other sport")

My claim was basically pro sports people are naturally talented at sports - and which sport they ended up playing pro was more likely to be circumstance than considered choice.

The rest is you just doubling down on "people should choose jobs not passions". Sure, if you like.

A few comments:

In some ways, I still think the Quake 3 code is cleaner, as a final evolution of my C style, rather than the first iteration of my C++ style, but it may be more of a factor of the smaller total line count, or the fact that I haven’t really looked at it in a decade. I do think “good C++” is better than “good C” from a readability standpoint, all other things being equal.

I sort of meandered into C++ with Doom 3 – I was an experienced C programmer with OOP background from NeXT’s Objective-C, so I just started writing C++ without any proper study of usage and idiom. In retrospect, I very much wish I had read Effective C++ and some other material. A couple of the other programmers had prior C++ experience, but they mostly followed the stylistic choices I set.

I mistrusted templates for many years, and still use them with restraint, but I eventually decided I liked strong typing more than I disliked weird code in headers. The debate on STL is still ongoing here at Id, and gets a little spirited. Back when Doom 3 was started, using STL was almost certainly not a good call, but reasonable arguments can be made for it today, even in games.

I am a full const nazi nowadays, and I chide any programmer that doesn’t const every variable and parameter that can be.

The major evolution that is still going on for me is towards a more functional programming style, which involves unlearning a lot of old habits, and backing away from some OOP directions.

If your interest in the Bible mainly as a way of understanding Christian thinking and not as a text that's sacred to you, 'God Is Disappointed in You' is a good, easy to read, version. If you hold the Bible to be sacred to your spiritual beliefs, you might find it offensive or even blasphemous, but otherwise it is an easily accessible overview of each book of the Bible.
I don’t think Netflix is a zombie. It simply might not be a $100B+ company for the time being, like Disney. Which some investors may have hoped it would become by now (although I do not why they would have thought that).

No.
Blender (the FOSS 3D modeling, animation & rendering software) has a recently updated UI that is significantly easier to use, the embedded language within is Python, and the number of tutorials covering a vast range of interests is noteworthy. You don't really know what will captivate your kid, and the range of applications and learning opportunities with Blender covers a large range of potential interests.
Rust is a general purpose programming language. It can do low level systems programming but it's also highly capable of doing web backends, web frontends (wasm), game design, small utility scripts, etc.

A big thing people learning Rust do my mistake is to try and use all of the low level features straight away. Rust has tools like Rc, RefCell, Arc, and RwLock that let you have a garbage collected language (well, reference counted) and not worry about any of the low level memory management details.

See things like https://ggez.rs/ for games and https://www.arewewebyet.org/ for web stuff.

Although honestly I think if you're looking for a "hot" backend web language I'd say Elixir is the more well designed one than Go.
Why sun mirrors? Mirrors facing the sun add to the earth’s albedo and thus contribute to a net heat energy loss in the atmosphere (which is why it’s being proposed to counteract warming impacts today). I must be misunderstanding sun-mirrors as referenced in this story.
The fiduciary duty exceeds expressed shareholder preferences -- if the board believes that a particular action is not likely to improve value, they don't have to do it, even if all their shareholders tell them to (though, of course, they might be likely to be voted out in the next election for same).
Low power consumption is so important to me, because the best thing about my M1 over my previous x86 MBP is that it doesn't overheat and melt down and freeze up all the time, rendering all that expensive CPU and GPU power and memory and pixels and other hardware completely useless.

I've had to take frozen peas out of the freezer and rub them desperately against the bottom of my x86 MBP to quickly cool it down enough to use, in order to make important Zoom meetings on time. It totally ruins the peas, and can't be good for the computer!

Even if they were both the same speed, it would still be so much better, just because of how cool it runs. How fast and long it runs on batteries is just icing on the cake of not getting fucked by speedstep's "kernel_task % CPU 798.6" all the time.
This is a fantastic idea. My only suggestion would be to make those features that are not immediately apparent more apparent. Even a simple “About” or “What is Radiopaper?” page would help a lot.
I don't know. The older conservative generations not only seem to have adapted overnight, they have weaponized what we gave them.
I'll repeat myself.

If I own stock in a company whose executives do not work to keep the stock price up or even increasing, I will replace those executives with executives who will work to keep the stock price up/increasing. (Corollary - I will not buy stock in a company whose executives are unconcerned with stock price. That unwillingness means that folks who own stock and might want to sell it to folks like me will "encourage" executives to make that possible.)

Is it really hard to understand that stockholders care about stock prices and that they will "encourage" the company to maintain/increase the value of their investment?

Would you buy stock in a company that didn't try to maintain/increase the stock price? Why?

This has nothing to do with bank financing or further stock sales by the company, although those can also be factors.
Programming is about building mental maps.

that kind of depends on your definition of "problem."

One thing that is potentially a problem is that freight rail has been so optimized and cost cut to the bare bones that the network is now extremely brittle. This tends to impact passenger rail more than freight rail (passenger rail is legally supposed to have priority, but in practice this has never been enforced and the freight carriers usually just make passenger rail take the hit instead of freight), but this is a problem in major hubs like Chicago.

And I bring up coal and oil, to say that if major changes were to happen in those markets and they dried up, the American freight rail network is not set up to easily pivot to things like fast freight that might take its place, and then we would have a freight rail network that is great for addressing a nonexistent market. Fast freight needs generally straighter, faster lines than what exists today.
If I'm reading the design correctly (and I might not be), "counter-message" means "parent message". So puppet1 goes in with the reasonable response, and puppet2 replies to that with the unreasonable response, and we're off to the races.

This initially seems like great news, but here is the link to the article that's actually posted as a screenshot in TFA:

From that article:

With the exception of email addresses below, can anyone provide a circumstance when Google might legitimately find that not removing the following would be "in the public interest"?

* Confidential government identification (ID) numbers like U.S. Social Security Number (..) etc.

* Bank account numbers

* Credit card numbers

* Images of handwritten signatures

* Images of ID docs

* Highly personal, restricted, and official records, like medical records

* Personal contact info (physical addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses)

* Confidential login credentials

It seems there's quite a bit of wiggle room in this policy to remove some search results and not others.

Dude, if you think that is different than any other generation ever well, hopefully when you get older you'll learn about perspective.
The 'Greatest Generation's version of the boomers sent them to WW2 to die by the millions, but poor you, right? Never has a generation been handed such a shit sandwich by the generations before them as the boomers have handed you. Get over yourselves. You aren't so special in the list of generations.
When the boomers had nothing in their youth they created the hippie culture where it didn't matter. Today's hyper consumerist tiktok generation think they have a right to live like the made up people on TikTok do. They aren't boomers, but you know the characters on the TV show Friends could never have lived like that in New York, right? That it was a fake show that portrayed an unrealistic quality life that young people working those jobs didn't actually live, right?

Worth checking out if you're interested in using constraint/logic programming languages for type checking is the Statix (https://www.spoofax.dev/references/statix/) language, which is used in the Spoofax language workbench. It works similarly to Prolog in solving constraints, but adds support for scope graphs, which are a generic approach to specifying the name binding behavior of programming languages through logic constraints.

But you do get that that’s not particularly user friendly right?

Like why not offer tools to make it easy to submit “here’s my phone number - delist it” or “here’s my name and all addresses I’ve lived - delist”and then you use Google’s awesome search and AI capabilities to figure that out. Then facilitate disputes between site owners and individuals. But forcing me to scan the internet looking for things that other malicious crawlers are finding. That’s not user friendly I think (in addition that finding this needs someone on the team to explain it on HN, one of the most technical sites on the world).

It’s like the Douglas Adam’s joke from Hitchhikers (going from memory so I’m sure I’m butchering it): “but we published the plans to destroy the Earth in the center of the next galaxy in the 100th underground floor of the administrative building in the filing cabinet in the locked room guarded by man eating lions.”
Good point. I’d also expect speculation or accusation of suppressing certain replies to become a topic of discussion. Factions will accumulate in separate subthreads where they mutually approve their respective positions, creating mini filter bubbles.
