I disagree. I was fully addicted to Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC) back in the day. A perfect set of circumstances led to me have bit of time to start playing, and it quickly turned into 8+ hours/day. Anytime I wasn't playing, I was thinking or reading about playing. It ruined some important relationships, and definitely stunted my career (I stayed at an easy job far too long), and impacted me physically (stopped working out, ate like crap, etc...).
virtually no teenagers or college students do any of this.
All science and tech activities are first and foremost people activities. This is why it has been quipped that science advances one funeral at a time, referring to the passing of scientists who held onto old ideas as dogma. The social and organizational side is very prominent everywhere, it's not just the scientists that play a huge role today. Yes, science is a social construct, and good science takes the right kind of people behaving the right kind of way.

> I don’t have kids, will never have kids. I don’t care about your hellspawn.

Good for you? What's the point?

> I consume nicotine. It’s my right

Please feel free to consume nicotine in a way that doesn't create clouds of vape exhalations. It's not as bad as second hand smoke but it's unpleasant.

> I’m an adult

Good. Then you shouldn't care about a company being shut down for advertising drugs to children.
Don't have a desk treadmill, but I do have one in the garage.

When I exercise I trade off incline for speed.

So I incline it to max (12%) and walk so I'm able to read but increase my heart rate.

I can usually talk on the phone too (but limited circumstances out of politeness)
I pay for Pinboard but don't actually use it, I just like Maciej
Yeah, plummet is like straight down till it hits something. Given it's root is in "plumbum" it's not surprising and yes, this is used incorrectly. Not being prescriptive, but this usage is pretty misleading.
But that's the whole point of copyright. The same piece of code you copy from a Google search can legally be used by you if your developer came up with it, and not if Oracle came up with it. Where you copied it from is the entire point.
> The villain of season 2 was literally a Nazi named "Stormfront" who riled up a cult-like following on social media.

Yes... and? I don't know you personally, but if you truly believe that the vast majority of conservatives are closet Nazis, may I suggest you actually talk to some real people? Not fringe people on Reddit or some other social media site, but real life people that are conservatives. Conservatives of whom you would be very hard pressed to find someone who does not denounce all forms of Naziism and communism in general?

> Linking this next time somebody tries to tell me iOS's limitations on sideloading improve security.

While I wouldn't say that's exactly wrong, if this type of thing happened often I would think that we wouldn't see Google writing this up as interesting. Doesn't seeing this mean it is a rare and noteworthy event and more evidence that iOS's limitations on sideloading do improve security? I'm not sure how often this happens, so I could be way off.
i think this announcement https://brunosutic.com/blog/async-ruby & the associated async libraries (https://github.com/socketry/async) do a much better job of showing off the potential for the ruby 3.1+ fiber scheduler. Async gem is powered by a fiber scheduler under the hood, and what you get is un-colored async-ready ruby code.

That is to say, you can write a normal rack app with falcon-async as the webserver and get node/event-loop scale co-operative concurrency without changing your code. Its pretty exciting!

Unfortunately rails makes heavy use of thread locals which arent compatible with fiber concurrency, so its going to take awhile until its async-ready, but I believe progress is being made (Async ActiveRecord was merged recently).
Does this even make sense?

If we were in the midst of the industrial revolution, would you be calling those speaking out for shorter work days and a better work-life balance, "weak"? Where did you draw the line in the first place?

No, something that's been causing a lotta confusion in AI art is people stand up quick implementations generally matching the general description in the paper, but, they're not really investing in training them. Then people see "imagen-pytorch" on GitHub and get confused, either think it's Imagen itself or a suitable replica of it.

Bjarmason has a good response about the practicalities of an attack; it explains why a "broken" hash is rarely a running-around-with-your-hair-on-fire level emergency. It would clearly be better to use a better hash, but is it actually urgent for anyone? Probably not.
Some people won’t let you use their copyrighted work no matter how much you pay, that’s reasonable.

By all means allow repos to opt in, although if it’s licensed under something like GPL there’s no way to convert it to non gpl without permission from every contributor. I for one am not interested in Microsoft or anyone else paying me to close my code.

Allowing people to pay $xxx to copy my copyrighted work without my agreement is simple piracy.

Either they international agreement to drop copyright as a concept, or obey the law.
I find this whole topic very annoying, this is like the 3rd variation to reach the front page today. But it has made me realize why I instinctively dislike Free Software as a movement.

Copyright and licensing are bad, actually. Stop getting worked up about the idea of using courts to punish theft. Stop getting into a frenzy of arousal about the police kicking down doors to drag Billy Gates to jail because 80 characters of fast square root is theft but 79 isn't.

Where on earth is the ambition and vision!? Knowledge is public domain. A commons of knowledge is a public good. The cost of code copying is zero.

Sure in our day job we have to pretend to care about this stuff. But when did the ideological scope of what can be achieved become rules lawyering over license text.

Copy my MIT licensed code without attribution? I don't give a shit, go ahead, I hope it helps, in fact I want a truly public domain license but copyright law is so hostage to corporate interests no such thing exists in many countries.

Free the code.
Exactly, I think friction is critical in this case. Bookmarks and native reading lists definitely have an edge with that.
What you say about 'never going back' to bookmarked items is interesting, I've been feeling the same and despite trying many solutions I still have to find a tool that would help me classify, fill missing tags etc. to really organize my knowledge base better.

I can't help but wonder if normalizing regular use of increasingly potent weed correlating with dramatic increases in anxiety disorders among young people are related.

Yeah there's the general state of the world, economic precarity among families, the effects of social media, the education system and society in general deprioritizing developing resilience and coping skills as part of children's upbringings, etc. I'm sure they all contribute, but I have a hard time believing the weed is helping.

In most cultural practices that revolve around psychoactive substances it's typical to embed them in sort of a ritual context. Alcohol is pretty obvious, but even things like tea ceremonies or ritual practices around use of hallucinogens match. The modern "clinical" approach of just focusing on consuming the substance without any social or cultural thing around it is probably the wrong way to go about things. We do this with alcohol, for example, where we have some socially understood norms about healthy and unhealthy ways of using it, in particular not drinking alone as a habit.
This is famously theorized by postmodernism. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulacra_and_Simulation

Yeah I feel you. No need to call anyone out when they're just putting out their work for free for us to use.

That said, I think generally the code that I've seen is good quality. Everyone uses rustfmt, everyone tries to address clippy lints. I've seen PRs in popular libraries dropping optional libraries to get slimmer. Rust libraries aren't perfect, but they're pretty good.
I use the Simple Tab Groups extension. Some of my tab group names: "Good Articles", "Work but Later"

(As a bonus they get backed up automatically including my pinned tab which Firefox loves to lose.)
I've seen a few large Rails codebases that included a state machine library like mentioned in the article. Every single one was worse because of it. It pushes the code down a path where hidden hooks run when magic methods are called. At this point in my career I'm just done with that type of "clever" code.

The article starts with examples that just define the state machine by hand. This is a much better approach and scales to larger code much better. You can grep "def start!" and just read what the method does. A state machine DSL is really not providing much value and eventually just gets in the way.
I smoke very little, not enough to get high. This helps me practice musical instruments and do other tedious stuff. I never ever do nothing when on it, maybe the small quantity has the opposite effect, at least for me.
I have friends AND family and I manage it. If you wake up at 6 AM and go to bed at 10 PM, work 9 AM to 6 PM, and shut down all your screens and stuff at 8:30 PM, that gives you 8 hours of sleep a night, an hour to work out in the morning, 2 hours to eat breakfast and do morning stuff before work, 2.5 hours every evening for dinner, chores, screen relax time, as well as communication with friends and family, and then another 1.5 hours for low-stimulation home family time and reading. Sounds perfectly fine for a weekday.

Giving a very generous 1 hour for every meal and daily 1-hour workout, that still gets you 12.5 hours of non-working screen time for your work week, and 7.5 hours of lower-stimulation entertainment. And then you have your weekends for weekend stuff. What does your schedule look like where this is a serious problem?

Being constantly socially online with people you don't live with is honestly overrated. Cutting out social media is a good first step, and strengthened my most important social connections, and completely eliminated ones that I hadn't realized were empty and meaningless (do you really need to be "friends" with everybody you knew from high school?)
But the verification is obviously ineffective at stopping malware. If it were effective, then this wouldn't be a story.
I believe there's a term for that in the context of very large organizations evaluating competing offerings / bids. Checklist something? I can't remember.

The idea is that a huge - say - government organization has a set of requirements, and bidding organizations will create MVPs only functional enough so that the line items in the requirements can be checked off by the bid evaluator.
The difference is that radio and TV stations only play one thing at a time. Mandating a domestic quota mandates that those content get airtime.

There is no such guaranteed for Youtube and the like.

How is that solved online? You can show you X% of domestic content, but if people don't play it will the legislation go further to mandate a certain % played/viewed?
Counterpoint: State machines in Ruby should be used sparingly, and only when necessary, because they start out quick and easy, but almost always grow into things that are big, ugly, and difficult to refactor or remove.

Here are somebody's notes from a Railsconf talk that made this point, plus a link to the video:

https://gist.github.com/benoittgt/05521e272e13c7b7c9c89eb4a9...

But the short version is the takeaway quote:

> State machines are magnetic : they attract more states, transitions, events, callbacks and they accumulate callback logic where our bugs hide
Back in the days, before deep links... we'd just say the page number.
> First, my comment is that GitHub claims the right to use any public code on the Internet, not just GitHub. This means that they claim the right to mine code on Sourcehut, or in my case, on my personal Gitea instance. I'm not sure your suggestion 1 covers that. I think it should.

People are allowed to read code on the internet and then write code themselves based on their experiences of the code that is publicly available. Why can't a software tool do the same? Everybody is being ridiculous about this.
It's not a regulated security, so why not? According to the big book of crypto lore, government regulations designed to protect people from fraud are inherently evil.

Modern communications I would bet has something to do with this. Families often didn't find out that their relative was killed whilst campaigning until weeks/months after the event. No doubt this would have started to change during the mid-late 19th century.
Speaking of which... I built a gaming PC a few years ago but I never use it these days. I want to install Linux on it and start playing around with machine learning.

Can anyone recommend any open source machine learning project that would be a good starting point? I want one that does something interesting (whether using text, images, whatever), but simple/efficient enough to run on a gaming PC and see some kind of results in hours, not months. I'm not sure what I want to do with ML yet, I just know I'm interested, and getting something up and running is likely to enthuse me to start playing and researching further.

My spec is: GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (11GB), a 24-core AMD Ryzen Threadripper, and 128GB RAM. I'd be willing to spend on a new graphics card if it would make all the difference. I am a competent coder and familiar with Python but my experience with ML is limited to fawning over things on HN. Any recommendations gratefully received!

A harmonious civic life requires virtues like chivalry, propriety, patience, tolerance, and courage. These must be practiced in a social setting, whether one wants to or not.

The deterioration of public life, like in an office setting, will inevitably lead to the deterioration of those traits which are necessary for a healthy society.

(ymmv, I prefer working from home, for a lot of reasons, but the benefit of social isolation is not one of them)
Does the usage of SHA-1 in Git actually have security implications, though? It's basically only used to generate addresses for refs and hunks and all that.
When YouTube still showed dislikes, some justin bieber video was simultaneously the most liked and most disliked video of all. i quite like to think of python as the justin bieber of programming languages.
That sounds like some one hacked up an existing project into Bazel without resolving the opinionated differences. I've worked on Bazel projects at multiple companies and I've seen things go off the rails like that a couple times before someone that actually understands the tool rewrites the problematic build process. It's usually some nasty stuff where someone tried to work outside of Bazel because they didn't understand it and created a bunch of impedance mismatches. New people doing this instead of the "right way" is the most valid criticism of Bazel IMO.

Sounds like you're working in the worst of both worlds right now.

> In his view, the only "defensible" reason to use SHA-1 at this point is interoperability with the Git forge providers.

Okay, but that's a pretty big reason! A git repo that can't be pushed to github/lab is... not always useless, but certainly extremely impaired.
Obscurity doesn't work because someone will find the hole, they don't need the source code.

An alternative interpretation:

Humans are social and many communities in America aren’t structured for independent relationship building leading to isolation if you don’t belong to a community (I.E. an office space, gym, or religion)

However offices are poorly structured for focus. Counterintuitively, many of the companies we focus on in the WFH vs WFO debate are _knowledge worker_ roles where the product is ultimately a result of concerted focus time.

It might not be that working at home and working from work aren’t good enough in general. Maybe offices have failed to incorporate what we know about optimizing a knowledge worker’s time while communities have failed to incorporate what we know about fostering relationships. So many are stuck picking their poison: forced relationships with co-workers in an office at the cost of focus or optimizing for focus at home at the cost of relationships.

Also, America has other, darker, undercurrents that occurred around the same time - the racial aspect of car culture can't be entirely dismissed (even if race is/was a proxy for "poor") - Europe seems much more comfortable with poor and rich living near each other (where rich is some variation of "middle to upper-middle class +").
> Adding my own 0.02, what some of us are facing is resistance to adopting git in our or client organizations because of the presence of SHA-1. There are organizations where SHA-1 is blanket banned across the board - regardless of its use. [...] Getting around this blanket ban is a serious amount of work and I have very recently seen customers move to older much less functional (or useful) VCS platforms just because of SHA-1.

Seems like this company could just use the current SHA-256 support then? Especially if it's the type of company that does all its development in-house and there's no need for SHA-1 interoperability.

I send it to myself in the @karaterobot (or equivalent) channel in Mattermost, which is the self-hosted chat program I use. This is exactly equivalent to sending it to yourself in Slack, except that free versions of Slack have a limited history, after which your archive will be lost (or, rather, held behind a paywall). The advantage of this method is that it's organized by time, and searchable, and you can save links, documents, images, notes, etc.
Of course, I'll admit it will stop small-time attackers that aren't willing to pay $299, register a fake company, and whatever else is needed to trick Apple into letting you into the enterprise dev program. But I'd like to propose these attackers wouldn't have been able to bypass the sandbox anyways.

I'm sure the fact this setup forces all apps to go through Apple's app store and pay them 30% of their revenue is just a unfortunate accident.

My point is that if Apple truly believed sideloading was a risk to user security there wouldn't be certificates that let you sideload on all devices. They would force companies to provide a list of devices or only allow devices enrolled in their MDM or some similar reasonable restriction.
