How are the proposed ones more legible, particularly at small scales?

How is embedding a representation of what a washing machine looks like now makes them more universal or recognisable?

Despite the couple of paragraphs pontificating about what good icons should be, most of them are much worse than the cleaner, simpler, older ones. The drying ones are more descriptive, but less legible.
“The value of the man, of the human at the center, is fundamental.”

A-fucking-men to that! Driving is FUN. Car ownership is FUN. I don't give two craps about any nonsense about "helping the collective". Individual ownership, individual responsibility is here to stay.

New Study Shows What Happens to Your Body Post-Ultra
A lot of sex is not that great and therefore any overall reduction of sex may be a good thing, depending on which kind of sex we're having less of. Maybe a lot more married women are not having sex with their husbands, which traditionally was not always an option. Maybe young people are rushing less into big relationships, and so without a steady partner regular opportunities for sex are reduced while at the same time more bad relationships (and marriages) are avoided. Maybe people are engaging more in non-intercourse sexual activity now that access to information about kinks and fetishes is universal.

I say, let's stop stressing over the quantity of sex and instead focus on the quality of sex. We should want people to find partners where they can have open communication, and where they have similar desires and where they can share in enthusiastic consent. But this idea that "more penis in vagina = good" doesn't hold up to any scrutiny.

> Miners can emit as much nonsense, noise, malformed information as they want. Full nodes perform validation: they decide what a compliant chain looks like, and only accept contributions from miners which have that shape.

That highly depends on who the full node is. A random joe with $100 worth in the wallet can be safely ignored. If their node refuses to see the new blocks as legitimate, the owner doesn't get to use their money for anything anymore. The likes of Coinbase though would have a lot more influence.

There were plenty full node owners that were onboard with big blocks, but since they didn't have the pull, they didn't matter. They could reject validating the blocks all you like, but the network can keep on working fine without their approval.

> This is why there was such a vicious fight about block size: the side which won the mindshare and economic value fought for a small blockchain so that running a full node remains feasible forever.

No, the side that won is the side that wanted to make profit from selling L2 solutions and collecting fees. There's no technological reason for a 1MB limit that makes any sense.

Bitcoin started in 2009. Since then there have been 4 main generations of the Raspberry pi, disks went in size from ~1-2TB maximum to ~20TB maximum, gigabit internet became fairly commonplace, and CPUs also improved greatly.

Plus, the modern BTC is pretty much useless for small transactions anyway -- if you have any use for it, you can certainly afford decent hardware.
Thanks for the info

So, a solid-rocket motor is not exactly a motor (like a liquid-fuel one) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-propellant_rocket but if that's the term used I'm happy with it, especially given there's a nozzle with directional control.

I stand corrected on MT making the whole thing!
Touching the poop in these threads is always a bad idea. And this is more to the passer-by who might be reading and thinking that the person to whom I am replying is onto something (edited; I don't think 'csee is being disingenuous). In these sorts of claims, "the top few percent" is never actually defined, and it means that folks who do quite well for themselves but aren't unironically studly chads have to be cut out of their narrative.

It is easier to assume that it's everyone's fault rather than your own, but I found that I did a lot better (not just romantically but--well--everywhere) when I worked on having reasons to like myself before I wanted other people to. The people who go on about "the top few percent of men" are most frequently so bitter that it can be detected from space, and that's a them problem. It was, for a while, a me problem. It requires concerted effort and desire to unscrew your head and to make yourself somebody you like, but it is doable. Therapy helps. So do honest friends who aren't in the same shitty boat you're in.

I am not fit, I am affluent but not rich, but I try to be decent and patient and kind (which is different from being needy), and I do pretty well for myself. Saying "just do X" would be lying because of the "just" part, but--you can do okay for yourself too. You probably have to work at it some.
> College will teach you to write, and ideally, to speak as well. Even just simple frameworks like the five paragraph essay or thesis-antithesis-synthesis work wonders for idea organization. It's critical to be able to organize your thoughts into a loose structure of "introduction", "what people have previously thought", "what I think", "reasons others might disagree and why they're wrong," and "conclusion."

At one time, every student at most colleges had to take "Rhetoric" 101 and 102, where those things were taught. You only have to look at modern social networks to see that they're not being taught anymore.
Building a CDN absolutely is hard to do at scale.

You can't build a Cloudflare competitor in AWS/Azure/Linode/DO/etc. You need your own data centers. Multiple of them across the country, ideally around the world if you want to serve the whole world.

This is insanely hard.

> Or... there are reasons nobody does that.

Like I said, the great part about crypto is that if you have personal reasons to prefer inflationary currencies you can feel free to use those instead.

And those who don't want their money inflated away, are free to choose otherwise.

Everyone wins! You can prefer inflation for your own money as much as you want. And those who don't want inflation for their own money, can choose differently.
No not really. As a person that nominally fits the label as stated, those MGTOW dudes are just toxic women haters. They have some kind of fucked up unresolved issues with women but it's all couched in some self-justifying logic.

Personally I'm just a lazy, irresponsible, and selfish person, so I think a life of relationships and children is not appropriate for me, so I don't pursue those things. That does not appear to be the case for most of the men who adopt the label. There seems to be genuine hate there.

CF is the only company I have ever seen that can have an outage and get pages of praise for it. I don't have any (current) use for CloudFlare's products but I would love to see the culture that makes them praiseworthy spread to other companies.
Indeed. I had long dismissed epigenetics because I had been taught that Lamarckism was disproven. So now I'm playing catchup, reading about methylation and whatnot.

The problem with facts is that they keep changing.

How can you say that when you don't know me? Maybe I'm ugly, poor and with a terrible personality.
With exception to the bleach symbol I find most of the new and improved symbols hard to read and just as confusing and maybe even worse.

Also as other commenters have said it will do a much worse job when the fabric is faded or somebody without a 20/20 vision.

I think somebody else needs to take a shot at this again.
From my time back in VMWare, i got into a habit of installing all my desktop apps in their own VMs. This makes switching to a new PC trivial: reinstall install OS, install VMware Desktop, move a folder of VMs. Done.
Just so you understand how this sounds to someone who works in (or cares about) apparel:

Computers make no sense! So let's simplify them. Let's just have one kind of laptop, desktop, server, and phone. With the same operating system.

Why are we still using so many different kinds of computers?
I saw a job posting recently that mentioned a "Macintosh environment" -- is that still the standard phrasing?
Expressiveness and declarativeness are different things, no?

Are you talking about aesthetics? I’ve used SQL for 20 years and it’s elegant in parts but it also has warts. I talk about this elsewhere but SQL gets repetitive and requires multi layer CTEs to express certain simple aggregations.

I'm looking forward to the extension if it happens. Then I'd hope you'd get more of a city downtown maybe in terms of feel? Right now there is a bit less of a there there to actually go to and hang out so getting around san jose city is still pretty car intensive in my experience.

I'm for anything transit oriented that gives people options to skip the drives on the highways.

At least San Jose and San Francisco can afford the insane costs of these things. For what it costs to build 2 miles and a station here you could probably do a whole network in africa and asia. Building a train track, while hard, is not totally new tech and has been done before.
You mean like https://mcbroken.com/ ?
Yeah ... no. (Anecdotally, not scientifically .)
FWIW I believe this is because R is very hard to compile (lots of dependencies like graphics, Fortran, etc.) -- and one of the R core devs is also a Debian developer! The packaging is a lot of work.

That is, it helps to have the same exact dependency versions as Debian, because that's what the core devs test with. This is a flaw in the distro model IMO ...

The other distros basically have to copy what Debian does, and do it imperfectly as far as I know.

Really? I worked on the biggest dating app in the world and there are so many dark patterns at play to keep people paying while in reality the way those features work is correct only from a vague reading of the perks. They not only have analysts but legal involved. End of the day they want money like any other business, their goal is to maximize users and revenue, and keep more and more people engaged. The goal of finding love is something crafted by marketing. It may have been the founders vision, but then they got millions in funding lol.

I think a lot of what is shared here is the value of learning and building relationships. College is not the only, or in many cases the best way to learn or build relationships. It's expensive, takes a lot of time, and for most graduates, the outcome is an entry level office job and $28-70K in debt to pay off over a couple of decades.
The original symbols were _engineered_. These new symbols are _designed_. There's a difference, and this falls into the same shortcomings of many modern UI designers: they only design for what appeals to them personally.
When I'm giving you information — especially when it's other people's information — I want your privacy policy to consist of more than "Use this page to detail your site's privacy policy."
It's not a long term problem. To be utterly dispassionate about it, people who don't reproduce are voluntarily selecting themselves out of the gene pool, leaving behind those who genetically have a stronger drive to reproduce even under adverse circumstances. There's no moral or philosophical dimension to it; it's simply how the unfeeling mechanics of how nature works.
Because you can use a central authority (ie, company, any organization really). "Distributed computing" doesn't mean no central authority. With a central authority it's easier to build and has lower transaction costs.

If someone has a bank account, they can get paid, in your scheme. They don't need a credit card.
I am a data scientists. I have used a lot of tools/libraries to interact with data. SQLite is my favorite. It is hard to beat the syntax/grammar.

We have an extensive salt trade going back through all of recorded history, along with most people living near the ocean.

Salt used to be extremely expensive, and there have even been wars fought over the salt trade.

As cited elsewhere in this thread, birth defects, and health issues abound without idodine too, which is why iodised salt is a law in many countries.

Through most of history, you ate salt water fish and also shellfish, or became sickly, and died.

Please do a little research. This isn't a guess, it's fact.
>You don't want to become experienced at writing software in your unique, bespoke way, only to realize that you've been doing things inefficiently and/or differently than everyone else in the field and have to start over from first principles

While a good ideal, the speed of change makes that difficult for universities that simply operate on a longer timeline than the current industry.

To use the bowling metaphor: there isn't a right way to do software as well-known as bowling well. When you go to find that foundation, you get CompSci fundamentals (which are a solid foundation) alongside a bunch of industry best practices that appear to be changing really quickly. Software certainly isn't only about CompSci fundamentals.

The Javascript scene has slowed (for the better IMHO) but it's a good example of a drastic change of styles/techniques over a short time span. Plus we have new languages that are doing new things that may not be taught in undergrad courses.

Even if you zoom out from a single ecosystem like JS and look at the major styles - OOP, functional, procedural - that has changed pretty quickly too. OOP is not necessarily the "right way to bowl" any more than procedural or functional is.

My conclusion here is that the theory of peak practice is very difficult to apply to writing software, however, it probably works with purely CompSci stuff (which can be practiced in any language). By contrast, this theory applies well to bowling, because bowling well is a much slower moving, more well-known target to work towards.
In Latin America our home washing machines are usually connected to ‘cold’ water only. Except in homes with separate cold/hot water pipes.
There's nothing wrong with the symbols. Your washing machine is the one that should have a printed table of them somewhere.

Take a look on those symbols: "A", "B", "C". A triangle with the basis moved up, two circles with a straight side, and an open circumference arc. They were abstract into complete meaningless, yet they are great for their use-case.
There are defenses against those attacks. You can put a maximum on the input for example. The idea here is that you can make the time jitter depend on things besides the thing being calculated. I'd hope that anyone having to employ code like this would think about those side issues.
A very interesting exercise, but I believe the old symbols are not that hard to getting acquanted with. My mom explained them to me... what, three decades ago? Of course I don't remember most of them, but I usually buy the same types of clothes so I basically always use the same program.

Additionally, laundry & ironing professionals have those symbols more than memorized ;)
Also there is very clear design goal with originals for each being distinct from others. Which explains lot of design.
Absolutely. Windows is the most popular desktop Linux distro.

You're completely right.

Hashpower between chains is only relevant if they are compatible (same consensus rules), as the accumulated proof of work is used as an indicator of which chain should be followed. Once a chain hard forks to alter the consensus rules like Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash, etc, there is no amount of additional hashpower that would make up for the incompatibility -- a node will simply ignore the invalid blocks.
I'm not a huge Go fan, but I do have to give it a lot of credit at its very linear learning curve. You get a few basic concepts, and you're pretty much good to write a great many things. It can really frustrate you if you've done other languages - and you're used to being able to solve problems in many different ways. Rust on the other hand has a what I'd call a factorial curve. You get Hello World, you get into learning how most things return a Result monad... and then you're hit with some really complex stuff. It can be deflating unless you really stick with it. The language is pretty vast, so you won't be re-inventing things like many often do with Go. Both are worthwhile tools to have in your toolbox. I will say that if you're into web-dev, Go will get you results with less "pain". But even that's debatable.
I went to a community college first. I also worked in my dad's business, sometimes behind the cash register. I've had my own consulting business, I think I know a little bit about 'handling money', and I don't consider myself particularly better served by that community college bit.
Women consume shitloads of porn—they just prefer to read it, rather than watch. It goes by the euphemism "romance novel". (yes, some don't have explicit sex, but... lots do, and they're quite popular)

Brain rape is definitely a real thing:

People with money don’t usually know where to put it but can buy the time of many people in their 20s to roll the dice with their time.

It can be a mutually productive relationship if eyes are wide open.

If it’s one way it can be tough.

Mentors/Investors have always said to me to seek investors (or individuals who care about you and your mission (before being part of a VC portfolio) and can help you navigate a world that is going to be foreign.

VC portfolios are focused on their return or outcome in a specific timeline. Decisions may need to be made as a result that might be the wrong ones because of that pressure and not enough insight from the market. Still it can be positive and productive in a healthy relationship.
>Do you have data of this phenomenon?

He literally did this after the DAO hack.
Using ClickHouse you can also process local files in one line using clickhouse-local command tool. And it will look a lot easier:

clickhouse local -q "SELECT passenger_count, COUNT(*), AVG(total_amount) FROM file(taxi.csv, 'CSVWithNames') GROUP BY passenger_count"

And ClickHouse supports a lot of different file formats both for import and export (you can see all of them here https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/interfaces/formats/).

There is an example of using clickhouse-local with taxi dataset mentioned in the post: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1tiOUCjTnwUIFRxovpRX...
I'd be interested in hearing if parents are increasingly having a say in where children go to college.

Seems like with inflation, need for graduate studies, dating markets etc. that adolescence is lengthening. Whereas you would have been kicked out of the house to figure it out at 18 now we stay with parents longer...

(I have a 4 and 2 yr old myself)
I'd bet that how much money you have (beyond a low bar of "enough") matters a lot less for the American dating pool than being able to make somebody laugh.
Replacing your Git cheatsheets with AI Command Search
Very occasionally I need Windows for something, and then a VM would be nice, but Windows has been growing in size lately - so much that I don't want to use it anymore. So now I am trying to make do with just Linux.

Otherwise, I am using VMs for edge compute, caching and cache configuration etc. I think the caches of tomorrow are those that can be fully programmed, safely in a sandbox.

I used to work on unikernels, but I have become less interested simply due to the fact that while people find them interesting, in the end they all want Linux underneath.
I was thinking that you’d reach new horizons.
Most men don't care about how much a woman makes. It might be a nice thing to have, but it's surely not a requirement. All other things equal, a rich woman has less options than a poor woman, because women typically don't want to settle for a guy who makes less money than them. Women date up or equal to them in regards to status and wealth and, of course, there are exceptions like everything in life.

I dunno, don't discount that maybe there's a number of high schoolers on here. I forget sometimes that anyone can be on the other side of these posts.

That very few people are mentioning things like the AIDS epidemic (and the abstinence only education that came from it), plus the conservative effort to censor sex positive media from organizations in the 80s-90s like moral majority, PTC (probably in response to the free love of the 70s), etc., is telling that they didn't live through it.

Or maybe they're just intentionally ignoring it, I dunno, but young adults today are a product of this.
There are numerous instances where Buterin's suggestions have not been just accepted at face value. He's an influential voice, but is no dictator.

When you are forced to look at someones data sheet to decide on them rather than see them in public being themselves - it seems natural to get sucked into coming up with check-lists on a bunch of qualities you otherwise would not have actually cared about as a means of simplifying your choosing process
'The open-source developer tools market is one of the worst markets one could possibly end up in... the answer is basic microeconomics. Developers love building developer tools, often for free. So while there is massive demand, the supply vastly outstrips it. This drives the number of alternatives up, and the prices down to zero.'[1]
