The dumpster has to be completely filled to emit evidence of a disposed bicycle, that is beside the point ... Why would anyone write an expose on bicycles being disposed of in a public dumpster. The absolute numbers to give a fuck are entirety different and don't even point the same direction on the moral compass. An expose on dumpster bikes would be like why aren't people throwing more bikes away in dumpsters sounds more like a shitty Seinfeld routine. "Why aren't there more bikes in dumpsters? You never see em! Meanwhile everybody's dumping into the river! There's a dumpster right there!" It's obvious befuddled nonsense which does not admit the intentional flow of trash away from the placement and the inability of a bike to flow in a river. End of discussion have good weekend EVERYONE!

There's another open-source media player that will let you load up WinAmp skins. But heck if I can remember what it was, or find it. It looks nothing like WinAmp without the skins though...

While I was searching, I did find this though. http://qmmp.ylsoftware.com/ QMMP seems to be a QT-based player that looks like WinAmp.

And I can't find a WinAmp clone that works on MacOS, either. I'm dying for one since I have to use a Mac for work, and that's when I do most of my listening. I love having the little tiny player up in the corner. Visible, accessible, but out of the way because it's so small and you can shade the window!

EDIT: I found it! Audacious supports WinAmp skins also!

NN has never aimed to ban throttling traffic. I see this repeated often enough I assume it can from some opposition talking point.

NN aims to ban paid prioritization, and specifically allows for throttling for network management purposes. That means providers can throttle when links are busy, but not give certain services a priory lane.
Genuinely neither an actionable model nor evidence in some direction. Honestly, it appears this is part of that school of thought I see very commonly here in America[0] where everything needs some origin story and everyone has a disorder of some sort.

Listen, I sometimes feel quivers of anxiety when I stand in line at the deli and it is almost my turn to speak. But that's not a disorder. And the parts that feed my ambition come from a different place. I am successful by most people's standards, but it wasn't fear or paranoia that brought me here but a very happy "I can do more" feeling. And as I win, I feel even more motivated to win and become more ambitious. And this is not a me story. I think the fact that many people are able to put The Motivation Myth into action proves that it's common to a lot of us.

I run eng at a prop fund, so of course there's always the fear that we'll get beaten tomorrow in some irrecoverable way as our algos trade while we sleep. But that's a different kind of paranoia and if what the guys quoted experienced is like what I feel it's not like anxiety. It's different. I am never convinced that we are the best. We have to keep moving to stay winning and no part of our stuff is good enough ever.

That's way different from the feeling I got when I first asked out a girl, which was a much more real fear that matched the deli line anxiety in quality though not severity.

So no, I reject this model of motivation as anxiety.

If we keep down this path, we will some day have a code-golf optimized CPU architecture.

Used transistor count as the blog suggests is clearly the best metric
A virtual machine is interesting to me when it corresponds to a hardware target, since then that isn't hiding complexity in software. I suppose, though, that an enterprising individual could make a custom hardware target that implements an overly complex, overspecific instruction set and win at hardware golf but I'd honestly be very impressed.

The positive part about virtual machines in general would be the ease of debugging and sharing/validating answers, though.

Based on what facts? The tribes negotiated the treaties and negotiated fairly large changes from the governments initial proposals (mainly to do with more monetary funding). Yet, they said little about schooling.

Perhaps they didn't know what was going on (and I agree that abuses took place), but the desire for their children to be more European was absolutely there. It is very clearly documented. This is in stark contrast to the claim that such things were forced upon the tribes. It seemed that a shared goal of the Canadian government and tribes was the integration of the natives with the Canadian nation. I don't see how this is deniable. The claim that the government committed 'cultural genocide' honestly falls flat for me.
I like the term technical debt but people forget what debt is.

Everything has a cost. If the value added is more than the cost then it is not debt. Technical debt are areas where the costs exceed the value added.

The C.S. Lewis quote above (the one I replied to) is from Mere Christianity. As to whether the original quote is relevant to this Quillette story, your guess is as good as mine.

Later

I'm being coy, because I don't believe most people who deploy this quote have read Mere Christianity, which is ungracious of me (and technically a violation of our guidelines). So: to put it more directly:

Lewis isn't asking people to be skeptical of wrongdoing. The quote is from an essay on forgiveness. That chapter explicitly references the harm Germans inflicted on Poles and Jewish people. Lewis isn't skeptical of that harm (to say the least), and he's not exhorting people towards skepticism of wrongdoing in general.

What he's saying is that you should be careful not to attribute to random people, by dint of their belonging to some specific group, the worst possible harms you can come up with. And he's saying that you shouldn't because it's an impediment to the Christian virtue of forgiveness; to love your neighbor as yourself, you need to love your imputed enemies as yourself, and to do that you have to find a way to forgive them their transgressions against you, and, more immediately, the transgressions of their groups.

I quoted the paragraph immediately following the quote offered (in implicit support of skepticism, as that quote is almost always used). I could just as easily have quoted the paragraph that immediately precedes it:

Consequently, Christianity does not want us to reduce by one atom the hatred we feel for cruelty and
treachery. We ought to hate them. Not one word of what we have said about them needs to be unsaid.
But it does want us to hate them in the same way in which we hate things in ourselves: being sorry
that the man should have done such things, and hoping, if it is anyway possible, that somehow,
sometime, somewhere, he can be cured and made human again.
> At speed-of-sound, a munition moves at about 0.2 miles per second

That's cute - but we aren't firing airguns at these things. A CIWS (the R2D2 looking missile defense cannons) fires its rounds with a velocity of around 3600ft/s, or 3.5x what you seem to be thinking.
The point of bit-twiddling is to produce a number n that is 1 or -1 if counter is divisible by 3 or 5 and 0 otherwise, and then add either mul(n, counter) or and(n, counter) to the result. It avoids branches which could shave off a few bytes depending on how branch instructions are encoded. Since we're golfing, we're not interested in speed, only program size.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenosha_unrest_shooting#Second...

At this point in time, shots had been fired, Rittenhouse shot and killed a man, and was identified by the crowd as an active shooter. Huber was trying to disarm Rittenhouse, when he was shot and killed. This happened in front of Grosskreutz, who at this point had every reason to believe that Rittenhouse was an active shooter (And was then shot and injured by Rittenhouse).

Since in an active shooter situation, both the 'good guy with a gun' and 'the good guy without a gun' can't sit around and wait for eight months for a jury trial to find the active shooter to actually be innocent, both Huber and Grosskreutz reacted rather reasonably.

It seems to me that legally, nobody, except maybe Rosenbaum (Who was dead by the time of the events of the second confrontation) was in the wrong in that whole situation. It's all 'good guys with a gun' shooting at eachother because sweet fuckin' Jesus, nobody ever has all the facts about who was justified about killing whom when there's a public gunfight happening.

Thank you, you're the second person to mention that and it's spurring me on to take a closer look.
I've never seen a public trash can large enough to hold an entire bike, but lots of bodies of water that could hold a bike. I've only seen one bike end up in the water (a mountain bike that fell off the back of a sailboat), and it sank immediately, there was no problem making sure it sank.

A commercial dumpster would hold it, but most places around here keep those locked up (either by locking the cover or keeping them behind a locked gate). Probably because they got tired of people dumping personal trash (like bicycles) in them.
This seems like total post-hoc reasoning like the debunked "violent video games cause real-life violence."

Ultimately Officer Smith chose to take his own life; no one made that choice for him. He may have been appalled or traumatized or whatever, but ultimately he's the one who did it. Doesn't make it any less tragic, but it's extremely tenuous absent additional evidence to lay blame at anyone but he himself.

If there was some evidence that he was subject to unique abuse and was personally targeted on that day, then maybe there might be some merit. But of the officers who were there, he experienced roughly what the other officers did, and he was the only one to commit suicide.

True, so why deny the reality that Russian tanks have proven to be horribly unreliable?
The fact that googling 'node user login' returns an insecure result is more indicative of the quality of Google's search results than it is of Node. Node has had a built in password hashing function since before it even hit version 1.0 (pbkdf2) [1]. It also has a built in timing safe comparison function for safely comparing values without leaking data via timing attacks [2]. The crypto module is actually pretty extensive.

If you're looking for a traditional web framework (something similar to Flask or Sinatra) I would take a look at Hapi (which has no third party dependencies and is maintained by one of the original authors of the oAuth spec), or you could always try Express (the most popular Node framework), or Fastify (the fastest Node framework).

> New Yorkers and Californians see the rest of the country as useless,

I've known lots of both (more of the latter), none of whom believe anything like that.
I actually think "unearthed" as in "discovered" is the more reasonable read - along with someone thinking they're clever in making a pun. When history is "unearthed" with radar, we generally assume some folks took a big expensive machine aimed it at the ground and walked away with a strong indication that something exists down there - when it comes to delicate items (like, for instance a decaying longboat that exists in the earth merely as concentrations of plant fiber in a suspicious shape) and especially when it comes to human remains (that people are often very reluctant to move due for cultural reasons) that's especially the case.
Being "neutral" is not a requirement for not having contempt. I won't pretend that I'm neutral politically, but I'd have to harbor a lot of hate to hold everyone with politically incompatible world views in contempt. If GP meant to say "the author doesn't attempt to list and support any of the many legitimate reasons for holding these political beliefs" then maybe I could agree.

I'll also point out that trying to state that a political party's actions and affiliations look like they lead down a path of hate (based maybe on historical arguments) isn't necessarily wrong, even if you don't like having someone say it about your party.
Exactly my thinking as well. If you have to do some sort of shady shit to get what you need done, then maybe you're doing shady shit yourself.
wow wtf, american trains are so bad. the government should force those companies to fix it
The incongruity expresses certain power relationships.

If you only eat the "best parts" of the animal, you must have a high status. Poor people must be practical in all respects, if they want to survive, but people who wish to signal will waste.

Simultaneously, pointing to the practices of natives is used in support of a different kind of power relationship narrative: the old regime(colonizers, imperalists, racists) versus the new(liberalized, diverse, equal). The actual goal is not to say "and therefore we should be more like the natives" or enact genuine policy supportive of the ideals, but to say "and therefore we(the new kid political organization) are so good because THEY(the old regime) are so bad." It's a way of deflection towards a scapegoat.

Thus you will frequently find examples of black-hearted activist types that copy-paste their ideology from some authentic source, but then reject it in their personal lives and mold the policy to be ineffectual. Because deep down, they see it as kayfabe to gain power. If they actually want to reach an elected office, prominent cultural role or significant appointment they have to knowingly compromise on the authentic and please existing stakeholders. Many would actually do the things they talk about(whether or not it's a good idea) except that the systemic forces are too strong most of the time; to get along with their political betters they have to live more like them, vote more like them, and so on.
So when a child is raped (which definitely happened, by definition) we should avoid talking about it because it might hurt the case of the person accused of the crime? The justice system assumes innocence until proven guilty. The court of public opinion need hold no such lofty ideal. Nor should it.
I ignored it and it went away. I worked as a cashier at Walmart during most of the pandemic lockdown times and came down with multiple bacterial illnesses as a direct result of having a piece of cloth over my face for eight hours a day, yet somehow never caught covid, despite remaining unvaccinated while working at a Walmart in a tourist town during tourist season. my local civic center set up an emergency clinic that remained 100% unused for the entire time it was active. the Sturgis Rally being nearby was supposed to make us (Rapid City, SD) a superspreader disease nexus, and that never happened either—more people died from traffic accidents (which were down from previous years!) than covid.

and now it's gone! look at that.

at some point, even if only years after the fact, one must reconcile the reality of the situation with the narrative they were sold on, and ask themselves if the two line up at all. how many Republican-voting Americans today still believe the Iraq invasion was ever really truly about weapons of mass destruction, or that the entire incursion was righteous in any way? how many Republican-voting Americans have any love left for the 43rd President at all, despite their fervor at the time?
Also needs a clear/restart button, I randomly started clicking things and now I'm stuck with a confusing jumble of letters.

“Perhaps they didn't know”?! You think the tribes knew about the atrocities and were ok with them?
They bought it in like the early 80s to that would be more like 150-200 million in today's dollars.
Comparing Russian GDP to Italy understates Russian economic power because it is probably the most autarchic country (maybe North Korea is more autarchic, I would have said the USA too until covid happened) and is a net exporter of metals, energy, and food. If the war lasts until winter Europe will really be hurting from lack of Russian energy.

Apart from the care Knuth takes, what's remarkable is that he has basically put out a permanent invitation to a DDoS on his time and attention—everyone in the world is invited to contact him about every word he has ever written—and somehow still continues to produce new material.
