>However, I think pax Americana ends with climate change.

Perhaps, but it might also give opportunities to further it:

"No, Brazil, you can't cut down your forest in your country for farmland. We have to fight climate change! You need to stop right now or else."

If you read about Brazil cutting down parts of the Amazon in places like reddit you'll find that a lot of people in the developed world hold this kind of an opinion. They might even be willing to back some form of sanctions or punishment for Brazil for doing it. This gives a convenient excuse for developed nations to meddle with other countries again.

> Increasingly, it is.

You haven't really done anything to show this. And as a point of fact, I'm in much better position to explain the concerns I live with than you are.

Appealing yet again to what other platforms are doing is not an argument. Mac and Windows and Android are doing this. Fine. Granted. Where's your evidence of the actual, practical threat, besides merely gesturing to the (purported) imperative to follow their mitigation strategy? To repeat, this is just not a concern in the world that we're talking about—that other platforms/vendors have taken a different position is not evidence that their position is ipso facto rational and correct.

> The thing you're trying to defend against is not just hostile apps, but someone remotely achieving RCE in one of your network-exposed applications.

I'm not. I'm far more concerned, actually, about the threat from programs and utilities that don't have GUIs, incl. programs that depend on third-party packages of dubious provenance, than I am concerned about the threat of desktop applications reaching across to interfere with each other and violating any (non-existent) expectation of isolation of the sort described here.
I assume it will accomplish helping the FCC realize that some people are upset about interference in the unlicensed bands between popular consumer products from a large company (Logitech) and a larger company (Apple).

I'm not confident in making any accurate predictions beyond that, but it's not my job to predict what they'll do — it's my job as a consumer to report problems to them, and let them act or not as they see fit. Refusing to report a problem just because (made up example) I think they don't care about Bluetooth has a non-zero probability of being a variant of the Bystander Problem. And however likely or unlikely that may be to any of us, it's got better odds than if we don't report it at all. So I say:

Report the issue as perceived, and give them a chance to surprise you with a useful outcome from that.

In the 80s mortgage rates hit 20%. So there's a start. Wages weren't quite as skewed to the high end as they are today. The gap between low middle, middle, and upper middle was not as wide, so it was less likely to hit the threshold for the 70% bracket. There were far more single income families, so again, not as likely to hit the threshold. Finally it's a marginal rate. Only income above the threshold would be taxed that much, not one's entire income.

I don't think of it as a debate technique, but just a way to show to a person that you really are listening to them. That can be very effective. It's a great rule of behavior even for small disagreements or suggestions.
For those unaware, some ask "why"

- No need to look up the version (though some IDEs do it for you)

- Auto-completion

- It shows you what features the crate has and whether they are activated, making it easier to discover features you need to enable or what you can remove to improve compile times

- Make it easier to document how to add a set of dependencies needed for a project (e.g. "Run `cargo add serde serde_json -F serde/derive`")

- The opportunity for more QoL improvements, see https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Ai...

It is impressive the amount of work it took to get this ready. I took over the effort almost a year ago and at times was working full time on it (thanks to my employer). Just my part included

- a near rewrite of the format-preserving toml parser (toml_edit)

- a major revamp of the UI

- a major revamp of testing

- a near rewrite to make it compatible with cargo's code base
> The concept of Wayland is great and well-implemented. The implementation of Wayland is bad.

I'm going to disagree; some Wayland implementations of Wayland are good, but the concept is bad. Wayland is a beautiful, elegant protocol that does almost nothing, instead delegating everything more interesting than "display these pixels" to other protocols. That could have worked, but in reality nothing else was actually standardized (n.b. if a "standard" isn't implemented by GNOME, KDE, and libroots, it's not actually a standard), so there is no useful "Wayland" only many Wayland implementations. If you pick an implementation that covers every feature you want, it's great! And if you ever want anything it didn't implement, or ever want to use software targeting a different implementation, you're stuck. Thus, I say Wayland is a bad concept, because it ensures that everyone will be forever reimplementing everything, incompatibly.

> Good. We can deal with that in v2.0.

There are many, many examples of v2.0 standards that, although better in every respect, never actually supplant v1. v1 has immense inertia.

It's not all as willy nilly as it might seem. W3C standardized the parts they could without painting themselves into a corner and wisely factored out the part they couldn't. There is an official W3C hosted registry of methods, each with a specification. They vary hugely in purpose, quality and applicability, all of which will eventually determine their viability. There are at least 3 based on the Bitcoin ('btcr', 'ion' and 'stack') block chain, for example. Which, if any, of these should W3C prefer?

The fact of this Cabirian explosion supports the W3C argument. Not selecting some arbitrary subset of these as SHALLs in the v1 standard affords room to discover the benefits and pitfalls given time and iteration.

I can understand the viewpoint of Mozilla, Google, et al. I'm sure they'd love to throw a room full of coders at a simple specification and knock out a planetary scale identity system, collect a few billion names and sell all that info to the highest bidders before the next quarterly report. It seems that W3C has other ideas about how this should work.

Yes, that would be a clever comparison, if that's the sort of hip-hop that's become popular internationally. How about Cash and a modern rapper that people today have actually heard of, as the original commenter is talking about? Please, go to WorldStar and grab one of the top songs and then try to equate Folsom Prison Blues with it.

As a matter of fact, I'll start. Here's "Holy Ghost" by Future, one of the most popular artists alive right now:

> Feeling like a cigarette boat, all this water on me

> I was at my big truck, my wrist up, gettin' my dick sucked

> When I switch my wrist up, switch my car, switch my bitch up

> Every time I hit her, I broke her off then dismissed her

> I been counting this paper all day, I'm getting blisters

> Roadkill, every time I pop out in a new whip

> Gettin' you wacked, niggas ain't running off with my new drip

> Rolls hit, lights hit, platinum set, overkill

And here's Cash:

> When I was just a young boy, my mama told me son

> Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns

> But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

> Now I hear that train a rollin', I hang my head and cry

Wow, so similar. You can really see how they're both speaking the same language overall and have the same effect on society and their listeners.

To be clear, I am sure that you can find nakedly self-indulgent and violent country music if you look hard for it. But you won't find it on the top of the country charts. You don't have to look hard at all to find outrageously vulgar, explicit, and criminal hip-hop. People need to stop pretending that Folsom Prison Blues holds the same place in culture that "Holy Ghost" and its ilk does because it tells the story of a man who shot someone.

It's also not especially useful in the type of argument in which your opponent is simply factually incorrect and not interested in changing that; you can't steelman something where step 1 of any possible line of argument is false.

But I've found it a very effective approach when having a conversation about the best solution to a problem, for instance.

I also like the double crux technique: collaborate to find the crux for each party, the most important point upon which the argument rests, such that if it turned out to not hold you would change your mind. Turns an argument into a collaborative exploration.

> Ron Gilbert really underestimated the artwork direction Steven purcell(Sam and max) brought.

This is it right here.

I don't really mind a game where the characters look "ugly"--that's actually a refreshing change of pace. And could absolutely work in a game about pirates.

However, the artwork overall just looks ... subpar. The backgrounds are so busy that the characters get lost in them. And the animation quality looks very weak.

because i've always found the vi documentation a bear to navigate. i don't know what shiftwidth is even for. here's the help for it:

shiftwidth([{col}]) shiftwidth()
Returns the effective value of 'shiftwidth'. This is the
'shiftwidth' value unless it is zero, in which case it is the
'tabstop' value. This function was introduced with patch
7.3.694 in 2012, everybody should have it by now (however it
did not allow for the optional {col} argument until 8.1.542).

When there is one argument {col} this is used as column number
for which to return the 'shiftwidth' value. This matters for the
'vartabstop' feature. If the 'vartabstop' setting is enabled and
no {col} argument is given, column 1 will be assumed.

Can also be used as a |method|: >
GetColumn()->shiftwidth()

I think GPL is a good idea (and ensures that everyone is having the freedom from a modified version of the code, and other things that it protects users from), but there is some problem too, such as I think it can be complicated to deal with.

For this reason, I had idea to make up a new license (although I will not write most of my ideas here but will do so elsewhere). But, its main working would be: mostly you can do whatever you want (including omitting attribution and copyright notices) without worrying about the license, but you cannot use legal processes (such as lawsuits, DMCA, etc) to prohibit these freedoms to any downstream recipients (regardless of how many). The license would also ensure patents can be used freely, disclaimer of warranty (if the license is included in the copy and the recipient has not paid for the copy), and some other things to ensure freedom (although there can be some restrictions on the use of trademarks (e.g. to avoid false advertising), and some things to avoid working around the freedoms in certain ways). You can be forgiven any number of times, though; the license will not be terminated. Furthermore, for a practical reason of license compatibility, relicensing by GPL3 and AGPL3 (and possibly also CC-BY-SA 4.0, for works other than computer programs) are also allowed, as long as you have a copy of the source code and can satisfy the terms of those licenses.

Show HN: Beautiful Circos Plots in Matplotlib
Same here. I had both Microsoft Sculpt (black, proprietary dongle) and Surface Sculpt (grey, Bluetooth) and ended up replacing them because of wireless issues. Currently using a ERGO K860.

The Surface Sculpt uses Bluetooth and in my office I'd regularly have the keyboard lagging, like I'd type a word and a few seconds later it would appear. At home it worked fine, but it was unusable in the office.

The Sculpt uses a proprietary dongle, which I still use at home, but macOS on my M1 MacBook Pro has a weird issue where it often does not connect. I need to remove and reinsert the keyboard's dongle from the USB-C dongle - removing and reinserting the USB-C dongle from the laptop does not fix it. I have no issues using it on my Linux laptop with USB-C, so it seems to be an Apple bug.
Perhaps not, but it's extremely telling that most popular hip-hop songs almost all contain explicit claims that the artist committed many violent felonies, loves committing them, and will commit them again, whereas people have to dig in country music for examples of the artist claiming that they themselves actually killed or hurt someone, and when they find those examples they're always obviously playing a character.

My main point is that the equivocation of Folsom Prison Blues with violent popular hip-hop today is ridiculous. If someone wants to compare it to Dance With the Devil or or The Story of OJ or Just to Get a Rep, that's fine, but that's not the context that people usually bring up FPB in. Violence and criminality in country music very rarely touches the rhapsodic and elevated status it achieves every week in popular hip-hop, and to pretend it does so often and that they're perfectly comparable is disingenuous.

The players that might make it through the next couple of years offer lending on their own balance sheet (banks, lenders like SocietyOne), lenders who sell qualified leads to banks who lend on their balance sheet, and possibly one or two BNPL players if they don't get regulated out of existence.

If not the branch mentioned in the Constitution, SCOTUS would have to pick some other branch as senior for gerrymandering purposes. By what logic would they select a different branch? Discretion in the choice of branch is room for a judicial thumb on the scale. Picking the judicial branch would be self serving.

Clearly there's a huge incentive for corruption by giving legislatures the power to choose their own voters. But those incentives apply to the other branches too.

I'd like to see gerrymandering made moot by representation that is selectable by the voter across geographic boundaries. Each voter chooses their representative, instead of visa versa in a gerrymander. I wonder if a sufficiently independent legislature could do that in a way that is consistent with the Constitution.
