Not a member myself, but after reading a fellow HNer [1], I got curious about the Something Awful Forums [2] because of their (apparent) moderating policy.

Oh, and I think I used to be a member on IlXor [3] in around 2004. Loved their UI (I think it is still the same); and hey, one can always assume that a no-bullshit UI is possibly a good indicator of no-bullshit discussions, just like on HN.

Oh, and Perlmonks and its Meditations section [4] -- I suppose I like a mixture of madness and intellectual depth. And Lambda The Ultimate [5], which is extremely dense IMO. I could skim those old PLT discussions for hours.

Are there any members of The WELL [6] on HN?

One problem I have with catchall is passing my emailadresses between "rings of trust". Example: say I have an email for close friends and family: me@example.com. Everywhere else I use spam<random_number>@example.com. All's well, until some well wishing family member decides to give me a gift in a form of subscription, or something like that, and uses my email they know: me@example.com. And just like that the whole carefully built house of card collapses.
All that can circle down the drain really quickly.

Facebook was my go to place to find events around me. Now they've dumbed down the page and removed the ability to search by date and location, and made it useless.

The same can and will happen to their other properties.
Basically when the wiki says 2A because less than and A/2 because greater than things are okay, but we're in dangerous territory. If we ever introduce uncertainty the imperfect information scenario we are in is going to force us to acknowledge that we don't know which game we are in. Which means if that happens we don't have just 2A, but a information set {2A, A}. And we don't just have A/2, but an information set {A/2, A}. In game theory if you have two subtrees and they share an information set than the information sets are equal to each other. You can't tell which subtree you are in, so the information set contains both subgames. You can think of one as factual and the other as counterfactual and vice versa, but the elements in that set need to be equal. When we get to step seven we do a calculation that reintroduces our uncertainty. We multiply by the probability of being in each case. However, we don't actually know we are in one case and we don't know we are in the other case. So combining these two situations leads to the counterfactual part of subgames emerging. So we have {A, 2A} and {A/2, A}. The sets aren't equal. We can choose some parts of this, like grabbing A and comparing it to 2A. So now we have an identity rule that just let us say 2A=A. 2=1. Our contradiction is found.

> This is an unsatisfactory answer, because it provides an "alternate path" to the correct answer, without demonstrating which step went wrong in the "incorrect path" that leads to the wrong answer.

Eh, I mean, I guess I'm cheating by claiming an interpretation they aren't trying to use. This is why I detest the "no true scottsman" setup to the question. We can create an identity that maps their wrong step into my formalism where what they did is wrong in the way I claim it is. Even though they didn't "try to do it" doesn't mean I can't see that they did do it. But apparently - even though game theory notation neatly avoids these pitfalls - we need to stick to the footgun notation. It just seems stupid to me. If you want to avoid the problem, use the notation that trivializes avoiding the error. I really like the other person's analogy to type errors, because it is such a similar idea to what I'm saying, but they just use a different part of math to assert it. There are ways you can just make this decision fail to typecheck. If you don't want to have these type of errors? Be stricter about your typing so at to prevent them.
Probably the best way to explain would be to say that capitalism as an ideology optimises for the personal good, while communism optimises for the common good.

As we probably know from the history of 19th/20th centuries, taken to their extreme these ideologies can be highly dangerous.

No, your conclusion does not follow at all. That is like saying "if it rains the floor gets wet. So if I dump a bucket of water on the floor, it is going to rain."
You can find stories about this. I don't have the link, but we have Google for that.

Basically, the bank will cash it, and days later, discover it's fake and demand that YOU give them the money back. There's a time delay which the scumbags are exploiting.

Float divided by int or int divided by float is also an issue. Does 4.25 / 2 equal 2.125 or 2? Does 16 / 3.25 equal 4 or 5 or some floating point number in between?

In such contexts it is more like an Assembly with a C like macro processor than proper ANSI C anyway, and if you go the code generation route, then you would be better off using the DSL capabilites from Lisp to generate Assembly directly.
Along with blocking commercial creepy behavior, I would love to see similar restrictions applied to governments that use commercial access to simply vacuum up large quantities of this information without warrants. (IIRC, ICE in the US is one well-known offender here.)
Generally speaking, we usually refer fingerprints to the fingerprints on human fingers, which are unique, hereditary, and immutable. Everyone’s fingerprints are different. Because fingerprints are unique to everyone, the fingerprints left by criminals at the scene of crimes have become important clues for the police to pursue suspects in the past few hundred years.

So, what is browser fingerprints? Device fingerprints, machine fingerprints, or browser fingerprints are information about remote computing devices collected for identification purposes. Even if cookies are turned off, fingerprints can be used to fully or partially identify individual users or devices. Such as User agent, WebRTC, font, language, Canvas, WebGL, Web Vendor, time zone, screen resolution, media device, etc.

When connecting to the Internet with a computer or mobile phone, your device will transfer a series of specific data about the websites you visit to the receiving server. Websites can track you based on your browser fingerprint.

The Internet has memories. In today’s world, the Internet is booming, and more and more people join in the Internet industry. How to hide true identity on the Internet without being detected? Such as multiple accounts of Amazon, eBay, and Etsy, Facebook, Google Ads, CPA offer, etc. are not been detected is especially important.

MuLogin anti-detection browser uses virtual browser technology to configure a fixed static IP address in each browser profile to achieve simultaneous login and management of multiple cross-border e-commerce platforms/social media/advertising and marketing accounts, etc. Safe, fast, and convenient, without any restrictions on access.
Please be more clear about this in your site's "Predictable pricing" section. Google results for "site:withcardinal.com pricing" link to 404 errors at withcardinal.com/pricing - this feels misaligned with predictability. Best of luck to you!

0ad is my favorite with my son. We can play as a team against the AI. It is a blast. I wish online was a better experience - right now, you sit around being shunned unless you have a high rating (you also can't get a rating since the highly rated players just game the settings and map).
I see, thanks for the overview.

I want to laugh, but I also want to cry because it's true.
I meant the proverbial "your". Out of curiosity, what is your language? Is it tied to your local culture as well? I'm honestly interested in hearing an alternative point of view.
A week or so ago a new tab appeared in my Facebook app that gives chronological timeline of people and groups I follow. I don't know if it's in Europe only: https://imgur.com/a/xMb2VWG

They did the same with Instagram. Click Instagram logo and select "Following" to get a chronological timeline. Possibly also only in Europe.

Infant life expectancy describes the huge changes. We went from life expectancies in the 30s not that long ago, to life expectancies in the 70s, largely due to it. The smaller changes since are going to be from many reasons that will also often vary heavily between regions. Unfortunately I lack the knowledge to even begin to intelligently speculate about the reasons for China's improvements.

There are some critical reasons for several people. Performance is one of them and lack of support for async/await is another. JS has also significantly become better in the last 5 years while Clojure has remained mostly static.

These guys have built a neural processor based on analog computers. I think, they adapted the circuitry that is also used for SSDs to emulate multiplication. The main advantage they cite relative to using a GPU is vastly less power used.

They rubber stamped them because there aren't any real problems... And they did try painting them black, not a PR spin, and it didn't work out so now they're equipped with sunshades and that does work, with independent scientific studies showing it to boot.

I think you are confusing the causation here. There was huge potential of friendly relations between Russia and countries it had occupied perilously or had been in alliance with. Except that Russia maintained hostile rhetoric against these countries but especially against Baltic states who tried to cope with the results of the extensive Russification Russia had forced upon them especially hard during last 10 years of the occupation.

This was this continued hostile rhetoric that pushed Baltic states to join NATO in 2004. Finland, against what Russia had maintained better attitude, and what did not have recent memory of Russian occupation, didn't feel such urge.

No, NATO did not push toward East, it was pulled there, like it was pulled toward Finland and Sweden right now.

Would NATO not extending avoided Russian restored expansionist politics? Of course not, just the order of attacks would have been different. It would have started from Baltic states.
Surprised nobody has mentioned bzflag[0]. I played that a lot in its heyday. Playing hepcat pillbox CTF was some of the sweatiest, most intense gaming I've had.

However I probably had the most hours into Armagetron Advanced[1], which is basically "2D-isometric Lightcycle-From-TRON Deathmatch: The Game" and allows for many interesting gametypes that you wouldn't necessarily expect, from CTF to Sumo, which is kinda but not exactly like king of the hill.

The best part of armagetron is the keybind system. If you bind, say, Z to "turn left" and . (period) to "turn right", then your right and left hands will turn you right and left, respectively. But if you also bind X and C to turn left, and m and comma to turn right, then you can press Z and X simultaneously to perform a quick 180-degree turn. You can also do funky stuff like press Z, X, C and M and Comma (that's 5 keypresses) to do a sort of outside-hairpin turn which makes for a devastating trap against anyone riding along your wall for speed.

I wasted so very many hours on tron. If anyone here played on the Swampland or Mud Puddle servers, they know how addictive it can be. A small but tight-knit community except for that one insufferable jerk who went under various handles but primarly "Xdude". Fuck you, Xdude.

Anyways, armagetron is an awesome game that's probably dead now, but is really fun for LAN parties.

Well, OK, but will the accept the old version as an alias forever?
Its not obvious at all to me the result should be a float. I think the times I'm going to accidentally multiply a float by an int outweigh the times I want to lazily multiply a float by an int. And, some percentage of that time I would want an int anyway!
1.1 quintillion operations per second, what are the algorithms that will actually benefit from the speed? It would be interesting to know if there are any that will show new insights given the added speed.
> In a revision to a technical paper on their methods, researchers cut Germany’s pandemic-related deaths estimate by 37%, pulling its excess death rate below those of the United Kingdom and Spain1.

As a German, this was obvious to me when it happened, but the vaccinism was so deep, that anyone who dared to question the status quo was treated like a traitor.
> If a critical letter created by supposedly credible experts in a field can’t spare a paragraph to delineate between DeFi, NFTs, L1’s, smart contracts, stablecoins, and whatever else is bothering them then I think it’s fair to assume they don’t know the difference.

DeFi is a scam to let crypto gamblers avoid taxes on their gains by taking profits as a "loan". The space is filled with unrealistic interest rates, and in general is a scam. See stablegains as a good example of this fraud.

NFTs are essentially a way to do money laundering with "art". The market, as a whole, is predatory, and is dominated by artwork stolen from legitimate artists who didn't mint the NFTs. It's mostly already collapsed, and essentially no one is making money on secondary sales. The space is filled with wash trading, often by the trading platforms or their employees directly.

I don't see what L1s have to do with the conversation. No matter the layer, the same criticisms apply, because ultimately, they roll back to the L1.

Smart contracts don't actually fulfill their basic premise. They don't replace normal legal contracts, and they can't stay in sync with real world assets. Nearly every day one of these contracts is owned and everyone loses their money. They're also incredibly inefficient and expensive.

Stablecoins have proven to need very strict regulation, and in reality a bank charter should be required to run one. Tether alone shows that they're a very serious problem, though the recent issues with Terra/Luna also show their general problem.

The entire stack, from top to bottom, is built on unfulfilled promises, and their very existence introduces new, horrible problems for us to deal with. For example, ransomware is simply not possible at its current scale without cryptocurrency.
Starlink has 400,000 active paying subscribers at the moment, worldwide, as of a few weeks ago. The customer count is a pretty good indicator of those who find it useful. It's not going to match completely as there are some who will buy it for a backup connection, but that's going to be a small minority.

It surely is relevant, because it wasn't out of love for FOSS like many are advocating.

GCC originally meant, GNU C Compiler and got renamed into GNU Compiler Collection exactly because it became a general platform to write compilers for the GNU ecosystem.

The irony that now GCC is far ahead of clang in ISO C++ support shows how much Apple and others care about upstream.

Cryptonomicon is also great.
Mass psychosis.

I know that Monero or any other crypto won't be accepted as a "legitimate" digital asset by governing agencies, so this doesn't really impact crypto.

If bitcoin became a legal tender then Monero would have that bridge though, so I'm routing for it, but it doesn't effect crypto all that much either way.

So many of these "cryptocurrencies" everyone and they're dog loves are just scams. If they get legal support then governments will just have a new set of rich incompetents to bail out...

Not that they can't afford it.

Total US money supply ~21 Trillion

Total monopoly money supply (the boardgame) 20,580 x 250,000,000 = 5.145 Trillion

They have some to spare.

Real crypto will always be underground. That's where it's ment to be.
It’s perfectly legitimate to say “run the script from a shell where the environment is set up”. In fact, it’s preferable, and you should only attempt to be “smart” and search for that type of thing if you really need it — why use any search logic at all, if it can be avoided. vcvars and its modern incarnations exist to facilitate this.

I had already skimmed the cpp (at least the `build` functions). It’s not necessary for what they’re doing. It could be easily replaced with a shell script. I know because I’ve done something very similar, supporting I think even more build variants and compilers. This is mostly copied from a real script, except I mocked up `build` somewhat, since the real one is slightly more complicated.

build() (mkdir -p "$1" && cd "$1" && shift && “$@“ ; )

This is going to sound funny, but is there a way to sign only certain emails (out of all emails a user sends) instead of signing all messages with DNS based verification?

I should mention specifically in a way that’s at least decently user accessible; ruling out GPG.
Except what you just said applies to no one. There is no one in that situation.
I think it’s more likely we can train two neural networks, one to make the decision and one to take the same inputs (or the same inputs plus the output from the first one) and generate plausible language to explain the first. This seems to correspond to what we dimwits consciousness and frankly I would doubt one system can accurately explain its own mechanism. People surely can’t.
You might not agree as to the effects of them, but the existence of spells in themselves is a historical, undisputable fact.

Like it was mentioned earlier, yes M1 kicked off for one year all the others in terms of performance - but hey, now we have 12th gen Intel Core H-series processors which have caught up (and overtook already from what I've seen in benchmarks) Apple's M-serie processors.
huh, I had assumed they were the same folks. Thanks for pointing that out, the name is pretty close.
