What kind of opinions are you guys seeing get trolled/downvoted out?

The only things I've seen eat dirt like that are jokes, and comments that were worded in an inflammatory way / presenting opinions as unassailable facts (even if they were right in my opinion). Mainly when people insult the Node.js ecosystem or some flash-in-the-pan new programming language

I haven't seen any Twitter-style anger over "sea lioning" *, or Reddit-style castigation over anything even slightly unpopular

* where people are having a public conversation on a public forum, but act like any attempt to engage with them is invading their private space
I don't use GRUB on any of my systems anymore, here's a couple loose answers to your questions.

> This got me looking around at how one would load a luks or dm-crypt encrypted drive from efi without grub.

systemd-boot lets you define an encrypted drive at installation, which is what I do for my LUKS devices. Whole thing works pretty flawlessly, in my experience.

> I guess I'm really curious what there is to gain by bypassing grub if anything?

I mean, you're not "bypassing" anything; Linux has molecularity at it's core, it's perfectly normal to swap out it's surrounding components to personalize your system. Personally, I pass on GRUB because systemd-boot is fast. Booting with GRUB takes 10-45 seconds depending on your hardware and encryption setup: I've never seen systemd-boot take longer than 15. If you're not dual-booting or doing any fancy baremetal stuff, I think most people would be perfectly happy with it. GRUB certainly still has it's place though, and I'm glad it exists.
I'm not the one oversimplifying, it's 'modern' agronomists that are oversimplifying.

Nitrogen is 70% of our atmosphere. When you remove all other plant life in order to get the last 20% of theoretical yield from your land, you end up having to manually provide all of the services that were provided by the plants you killed. The Green Revolution is a petrochemical revolution. Cooking allows us to use lignin calories to recover more calories from our existing food supply. Livestock do the same, either by converting grasses (ungulates) or recycling unpalatable foods (pigs).

When the petrochemicals become expensive we will have to go forward and/or backward to some other solution (most likely old solutions with new twists). The sibling comment with the huge bibliography points to some of the more coherent voices in the world of polyculture agriculture, although Gabe Brown exists in a sort of grey area between aggressive crop rotation and polyculture.
Making a new account here and this is your first post (you might in HN with another account). Plus this same article has been circulating a lot for a while from different usernames. What is the idea here, huh? Seems to me like y'all or just you, are just trying to defame DDG. If you don't use DDG, there are two meta paths that I know of: searx and metager. Metager is something I will never use ever again. searx is ok but the meta part is almost of no use: results are mostly google's or bing's, not some other-worldly search results. Plus, you don't get the features of DDG.
I recall riding with a friend who had an automatic, and his engine was racing at every stoplight (I don't recall the name of the hardware that's supposed to disengage the engine when the brake is fully applied, but clearly it was broken).

So, he sat at every light with the brake pushed hard to the floor, trying to keep it from plunging into the intersection. As a long-time stick shift driver, I asked him why he didn't just shift it into neutral.
I've never played Uncharted, but I had a much different God of War experience from what you described. There's really quite a lot of gameplay there, and some of the optional combat encounters were ridiculously tough -- certainly not QTE-ridden cutscenes. Some of the puzzles were repetitive and there was certainly quite a lot of dialog, but I never felt like I was in a button-pressing simulator.
What a coincidence! I'm looking to replace Fritzing as it somehow corrupted my project file (the project file is readable but the netlist part is missing)

I have gotten LibrePCB (had to build it, as there is no package available for Kubuntu) but I haven't really had a chance to try it out.
Lots of other interesting suggestions here though!
Just curious - why does your template include web3.js? Do you end up using that on tons of quick simple sites, and if so, what for?
>>>This is true, but hormonal birth control all but destroys the innate ability to do this correctly.

>>>If the women stop using birth control, their whole perception changes.

Very interesting, thanks. I've read similar conclusions pushed in manosphere/PUA circles for years, about how birth control has some major negative impacts on womens' behavior. My personal dating experience supports the pheromonal detection/selection abilities of women who are NOT on birth control as well. When multiple women from different countries/cultures/ethnicities all bury their faces in your chest, exclaim "I love your smell"....and ask to have your baby...something is going on beyond your good looks and ability to spit game.
The numbers vary, but getting a working minimum viable product is a tiny fraction of a business, and transmuting that into a going concern is far more work than getting it kind of working in the first place.

The path is tricky and there's existential danger on both sides: a chasm of endless rewrites on one and a mire of endless technical debt on the other. Both can torpedo a project ever reaching a steady state.
Do you mean that a network trained to imitate a calculator won’t do so accurately or that there is no combination of weights which would produce the behaviors of a calculator?

Because, with RELU activation, I’m fairly confident that the latter, at least, is possible.

(Where inputs are given using digits (where each digit could be represented with one floating point input), and the output is also represented with digits)

Like, you can implement a lookup table with neural net architecture. That’s not an issue.

And composing a lookup table with itself a number of times lets one do addition, etc.

... ok, I suppose for multiplication you would have to like, use more working space than what would effectively be a convolution, and one might complain that this extra structure of the network is “what is really doing the work”, but, I don’t think it is more complicated than the existing NN architectures?
That's like calling a malware infection a damaged hard drive. The way to fix them is at the same conceptual level you learned them from; we don't have offline brain editing tech.

Indeed, xinclude would be great. Combine that with an HTML-based and declarative web-component solution and it would go a long way to reducing the need for scripting on basic websites.
Surely most here have seen and read enough dystopian sci-fi to understand how bad it can get before the wealthy & powerful feel the pain or are encouraged to do anything about it.

I don’t expect this situation to change until it’s more profitable to do the right thing. Capitalism + game theory all the way down. Unfortunately, the governments that can make a dent in this are heavily lobbied by the same industries they’d be changing the economics of, so what we get is misinformation campaigns (“cOnGReSs cReAtED DuSt bOwL” signs all down I5) and large-scale inaction + pleading with the public to just install lower-flow shower heads and only water plants 1x/week.

I grow food in my own backyard in pots and I’m going to keep those alive. Trying to turn the desert green in Central Valley CA just because some people moved there a few generations ago and took advantage of the infrastructure situation isn’t a tenable solution. There’s so much green open space out east that I really don’t buy the “but then where would food come from?” arguments either. People built up in the wrong place. Now it’s a crisis. It’ll take years / decades to build up supply chains and infra in other places; I get that, but if we just keep kicking the can down the road we’re just screwing our selves more and more each year. Time to rip the bandaid off and pass realistic prices down to industrial users and force a mass exodus of that industry to places where it makes a lot more sense to farm.

I never used those older environments, but I've heard that Windows Forms + C# captures most of the same magic. Do you disagree?
I really like Tampermonkey (resurrected Greasemonkey) because it lets you apply both custom CSS and custom JavaScript, and works well with Firefox's sync provider.
> There are a few places with strange soil compositions that are actually lacking in particular minerals.

pH and temperature are pretty easy and common ways for soil to keep essential minerals away from the plant life which could utilize them.

Aren't calorie dense (nutrient poor) foods already the cheapest because they are the easiest to produce?
My point is I don't think it would be a valid contract but I think you could have inferred that.
It wouldn’t be difficult if you set out to do so but as a broke student you devise strategies to not spend that much money…For example would often also meet at someone’s house and drink beers bought at the supermarket. It all depends on if there’s a culture of spending a lot of money and where I went to school at least, there was definitely a culture of not spending a lot of money (at least not as college students).
Compress/Expand seems like a natural fit for something like SVE since it can still be phrased rather generically and I can easily see it fitting into loops that are written generically over vector length.

Free-form permutation does indeed seem like less of a fit. Though it still makes sense to define a minimum vector length of N for the ISA and support permutation ops that apply the same permutation on groups of N lanes.

Nim v2: get rid of style insensitivity
John 3:

1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

Adultery should not be punished.
How would you solve problems like Q/A? How would you solve problems in RL scenarios? How would you solve image recognition problems?

In the end, ML is not that different to what we are doing with all models, ie use a set of data to create a crude model of the process that we are trying to learn/figure out.
there is a common conceit that if you repeat a word often enough it stops making sense, but in this case the statements are, as often is the case with percentages regarding tech, meant to sound meaningful but are probably not as clear as they could be.
I'm limiting my choices to open source with good explanatory write-ups or presentations.

Just because you get assigned an address doesn't mean you can't ask for another one. :)
Did you happen to read the GP's link? The Stationer's Guild was granted a monopoly on printing so that it could implement the government's censorship:

> During the Tudor and Stuart periods, the Stationers were legally empowered to seize "offending books" that violated the standards of content set down by the Church and state; its officers could bring "offenders" before ecclesiastical authorities, usually the Bishop of London or the Archbishop of Canterbury, depending on the severity of the transgression.

As printing replaced hand-copying, enforcement of "authorized" printing (as in printing only what the government approves) came to include the "copy right", a rule devised by the Stationer's Guild wherein only certain printers were granted the privilege of printing certain books. Anyone who was not a guild member, or who didn't accept the government's censorship, would not be granted the "copy right" and would be punished for attempting to print or distribute the unauthorized books.

This is where copyright originated, as an outgrowth of monopoly privileges designed for the purpose of censorship. The Statute of Anne took the term "copyright" in a somewhat different direction, emphasizing the privileges of authors over printers, but in the beginning (from ca. 1557 to 1695) it was designed precisely to "control the mass distribution of information [the government] doesn't like".

Well, to be fair, the 0/45/90 deg traces are a byproduct from early days of EDA CAD products. Aside high frequency busses (which you're doing EM analysis on anyways), traces can be all sorts of shapes. That 3v3 or 5v line can have 135deg traces - they might be ugly, but they're very doable. This is a case where early electronic CAD turned into a cargo-cult.

Prior to the early computing CAD days, the traces were really rounded and flowing, and had teardrop fills. They were also done freehand, with transparencies, markers, and tape.

This is a good example of hand-designed boards: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vtg-early-1970s-ampex...
Different strokes. A lot of old school gaming resembles modern adventure video games. There is an overall narrative arc, but then there are fairly random encounters along the way.

I agree that a purely mechanically-generated game would be tedious, it's all about balance. But I don't know... ever since "Critical Role" came out, it feels like the dominant strain of role-playing games is people trying to be theatre majors, or produce something worthy of a live-play podcast. I find that likewise out of sync with what I'm looking for in a game.

I just want a classic dungeon-crawl, with limited "acting" ability required. And therefore limited code of conduct debates, because the creepy theatre major wants to act out his rape fantasies while the super progressive theatre major wants a race and gender studies class. Like, huh? Dude, I just want to join a gang of murder-hobos, so we can kill some goblins and take some gold.
At this point we need to be able to set our reported location manually on our phones natively. I don't want any number of apps to be able to sneakily collect such data. Android sort of allows it through 3rd party apps, but Google has all incentives in not making this trivial.
