The definition has been locked to the original definition and been blocked from being changed by people who believe it to be different. He supports this as it stops people stating their possibly regional views views on a globally centred page. So I'm confused what you think he is supporting being changed.

There's no need to be this dismissive.
As the other comment pointed out the obvious, that Mindgeek allowed user generated content, specifically to monetize it, and didn't have proper safeguards in place to check it, then yes of course they facilitated it.

This brings up an interesting question - is porn a net positive or net negative for society?
I've had a bigger idea... make a dam around Greenland before it melts.
That's why I made https://reactivedoc.com/. You can use it to write interactive documentation in markdown and save it as a simple, self-contained, html+js file.

Now I'm working on v2, with cleaner syntax & more widgets (I want to add an embedded web base terminal to run shell commands), you can see an example here: https://reactivedoc.com/editor/
In my case, is a new domain that throws me out of the comfort zone. I have to switch my way of thinking and stick to a marketing plan.

A few personal projects have failed because of this.
If a video claims that the White House "changed the definition" and in fact the White House has always used the same definition, that claim is fake news. Period.

What exactly is difficult to understand about that?

The fact the rest of the world has always used a different definition (and still does) is moot.
Nothing you said here or Wikipedia says demonstrates Politifact is wrong, just that they find Republicans lie more.

That's not a point of bias unless you can prove Republicans lie less.

Do you think it would be best to teach git directly from the terminal or using a graphical frontend?
Estimates are that when the (technically already overdue) Pacific Northwest earthquake and tsunami rolls in, it will take two years to restore power to most of the coastal and downriver areas.
Thanks. Are there good equivalent ad networks like AdSense for newsletters (so you don't have to establish a sales department?)
So you've added to the debt burden then. Or did you think that "the deficit" was a magical wealth fountain?
Most businesses I’ve bought things from online (notably not Amazon) want to send me at least one email a day and it is more than I can keep up with.

In the beginning for instance I would get emails from Best Buy that often had good offers, but at some point it got like ArsTechnica’s dealmaster and the offers became insipid. Even if the offers were compelling I couldn’t buy something every day.
They've gotten away with it, you mean. There's ample precedent against this.

Even Google added a "Reject all" button, eventually.
Sorry, but did you look at the example document?
Could you really provide such a result to some serious documentation project?
I guess not.
FS-level compression is usually limited to compressing relatively small blocks (think ~dozens of sectors), they don't normally compress a large file as a single solid block.
The causal connection can be remarkably tenuous, especially if you add securitization or other financialization into the mix. The people supplying the money often care more about hitting standards than maximizing overall eventual profit. Understanding this aspect of human and market behavior is useful for realizing why a lot of libertarian ideas are unworkable in practice.
Yup, I remember my parents being very frugal but then realized they bought an Intellivision for us kids that cost $400 in the mid-80s, when the median household income was ~$20k.

With household incomes being almost $70k today, that's like spending $1400 on a video game system today.
Roe v Wade much? I’m Australian and, whilst the we have huge issues with lack of a “bill of rights”, at least we don’t have conservative judges running the country.
When researching the Cuban Missile crisis, to better understand the Russian reaction to NATO, I came across something very surprising: the USA declassified, a quarter century later, that they had put nuclear missiles in Turkey first! The cold war seems to be a lot of pot calling kettle black, because of legitimate concerns on both sides. But all the while concealing information / lying to their own people in the name of “national security”.

When it comes to taxes, I just don’t get the fervor of many libertarians to protest.

But when those taxes pay for a weapons industry and perpetual proxy war on an industrial scale, the libertarian in me is awakened. Geopolitical rivalries + lots of new weaponry = incentives to threaten or escalate in a variety of ways.

People in countries like Afghanistan, Yemen, Cuba and Ukraine are caught between larger military powers, and the bombs rain down on them. Instead of diplomatic solutions, there is general mistrust and talking past each other.

How can we fix it? One way is to grow an alternative media that is collaborative (like wikinews), by the people rather than for the people. It must be open source and not profit-driven. People have mobile phones and drones today and can show what is going on in their part of the world, without relying on governments and mass media companies to do it for them. We can self-organize to at least show each other what is going on in our corners of the world. Sa’ana, Mariupol, etc.
That is true for ICE.. an Electric Motor uses a lot of copper
Pedestrians don’t use those roads, usually enforced by law. Their taxes are subsidizing roads they are at best sidelined on, and in many cases have their experience made worse and riskier for.

Bicyclists do use roads, but need much less space - far less than the half of the road their taxes pay for even for the cyclists who don’t own a car. Nobody needs a 6 lane road for bicyclists - even a single lane can handle more people than would fit in cars on that kind of wide road.

The underlying problem here is the spatial inefficiency of driving: you need far more public space for the same number of people and that requires more expensive infrastructure to build and maintain than it would if people primarily used active travel or transit.

The fairest way to pay for the infrastructure which is required to support a predominantly private-vehicle based model would be to fund it entirely by user fees, which would also handle the case of larger vehicle owners paying more to reflect their greater use, but because that model has been subsidized and often legally required for so long most people aren’t even aware of how much that’s true.
Why wouldn't you want to run JS outside of a browser?

That looks like rejecting Node.js for Python.

I also think MkDocs is great (and I'm the Docusaurus maintainer), and probably even simpler, but IMHO Docusaurus is more flexible and customizable that MkDocs.

We have seen greatly customized Docusaurus docs site, looking very different one from another. The MkDocs sites I see in the wild usually looks quite the same (often using Material for MkDocs).

See some greatly customized Docusaurus sites here:

I'd be curious if you could show me some MkDocs sites with that level of customization
What does corporate profits have to do with the stock market?
Taking an amateurish or fancy or experimental approach to compressing a sqlite database is a great way to end up with data loss. Doesn't make it a worthless or "bad" project but it's worthy of a warning.
If the land is fertile it might make sense to use it (while keeping it fertile) before it turns to desert and the top soil blows away.
Politifact does this all the time. They strawman a statement by adding on a ridiculous addition, then declare the whole thing as mostly false on a specificity.

In this case, the more accurate statement would be that the Whitehouse is changing the definition that they use. But they present the Twitter lowest common denominator of discourse as the "fact" to be checked.
Agreed. Given the number of serialization formats available at this point, it feels like anything that doesn't start off with a discussion of the trade offs they've made and how this affects the various aspects of performance is a bit of a red flag that they're not actually bringing anything novel to the table.
Except it hasn't and nothing has changed. What's more, this is trivially easy to check.

The 2022 wikipedia entry for Recession says that two consecutive quarters of negative growth is the common definition, says this is not universally accepted, and gives the NBER definition also.

The original 2007 wikipedia entry for Recession says that two consecutive quarters of negative growth is the common definition, says this is not universally accepted, and gives the NBER definition also, which is identical to the 2022 NBER definition.
Again, what Linus does and doesn't is not relevant for a discussion about morality - unless you are starting a religion centered around him as a moral model.

Fyi, the App Store license is deliberately incompatible with the GPL.
It took me about four hours to build an SES based mailing system. With dynamodb, lambda and the API gateway it is almost trivial. Put docker in the mix and it’s more like going to the moon.
Hinkley Point C will cost about 100pounds/MWh give or take 10%. Wind power in the UK has strike prices around forty pounds per MWh. That leaves a bit of room for storage before you're more expensive than Hinkley Point C.
Good planning would include keeping spares out of harm's way.

One wonders whether famously-protected Finland keeps spares.
That's pretty neat! But is there a link to the “future POSIX standard”? A few months ago I tried looking for it on https://pubs.opengroup.org/, but couldn't.
> to be better than that for pretty much any other laptop.

No GPU support is a big miss though. ARM also means that you can't make every binary made for x86 out there work, even if initiatives like Box86 and Box64 help bridge the gap.
Corporations are an artificial construct that we as a society let exist. We can decide to add additional restrictions to that existence like requiring them to not discriminate based on what software you run on your own devices.
For pipes, I would always choose copper over plastic, regardless of the price.

All the plastic pipes that I have ever seen had a too short lifetime, and when it became necessary to replace them prematurely in whatever hard to access place they had been installed, the costs were much higher than the cost of the pipes.

Even if the plastic pipes were claimed to be made of some high-quality long life plastic, instead of being made of cheap PVC or the like, such claims are difficult to verify, unlike for a copper pipe, where you do not need special instruments to verify that the pipe ready to be installed is really made of copper.
Oh, I see - makes sense. Thanks for the explanation and an interesting data point!

I wonder if this means that I should not spend too much energy on applying for jobs that LinkedIn thinks I am not a good match for, assuming most recruiters are not as motivated as you.

That's for the ML algorithms to decide.
You realize there's a famous essay on economy that uses precisely the allegory of windows being broken and repaired to argue that not all GDP is good. That's right, "it's creates jobs" is a terrible argument.
Ren'Py is better for making VNs than RPG Maker and is free.
No, it isn't. A password can be phished, a hardware key can't, among a ton of other benefits. The hardware key is orders of magnitude better than a password.
Ask HN: How do I learn AI?
I've recently become convinced that, if created, extremely competent AI systems have a high likelihood of dramatically accelerating human progress, in everything from drug discovery to engineering to fundamental science. As such, I really want to learn as much as I can about AI technologies, so that I can understand, if not create, AI-driven positive change in the world. (I'm less interested in employable skills than the underlying theory — I doubt intelligence will be solved with TensorFlow!)

I have some programming and (informal, self-studied) CS experience, but I haven't yet finished high school, so my maths background might be lacking (no linear algebra, calculus as of yet). Nonetheless, I'm eager to start learning and doing what I can now — any suggestions for learning resources?
Context-aware compression can be a lot of faster than blind filesystem level compression.

Some data, like plain text, JSON, or XML, compresses extremely well. You're almost certainly looking at compression rates of up to 90%. Dense binary formats, especially formats that are already compressed like most image formats won't compress barely at all (sometimes they can even get bigger), and attempting to compress them is an enormous waste of processing power.
How does this compare with modern compression algorithms like Brotli that do context modeling, etc? I've found that they manage to aggressively compress types of data you wouldn't expect to compress well, to the point that investing energy into doing compression yourself doesn't provide big returns anymore. The downside is that codecs like Brotli tend to compress very slowly, but I can imagine being able to do a setup where you only compress old rows so it would be cool to see an experiment with just compressing rows or columns and comparing the sizes with your method.
Let's not water down the meaning of the word "clickbait". I have no problem with this title.
> Don't understand what's so great about it. Pretty much every amd64 laptop works great with Linux. I've had Lenovos, Dells, Huaweis, HPs, etc.

It's not amd64, it's especially not Intel. It's not fugly or fnoisy. The bar is really so low.
Normally, click rates are more like 0.1%.

But it's also about brand recall. Having someone's email address lets you put an ad (subject line) in front of them for almost free, as often as you want, without having to go through the algorithms of the social networks.

I think the tongue in the cheek comes from a historical context that exactly this was attempted in the Great Leap Forward movement, as part of the Great Cultural Revolution movement in Communist China, which was, as with anything Communist, a huge leap and huge progress backwards.

Meh, I find HN to be among the least dismissive places on the internet, especially when you only consider nerd-heavy places. I like to think that this is in part due to comments like the one I wrote being commonplace. I've been at the receiving end of them as well (incl a few kicks under the butt from dang himself) and it's helped me assume good intent, not be overly dismissive, etc. I'm just passing the favour along.
ical is effectively this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar.

Google Calendar for example will let you follow published external calendars by URL: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/r/settings/addbyurl.

So yes, the technology base exists. There's other active uses of it here and there, e.g. many services send event emails with ics files attached, containing a single-event calendar that some mail clients (including gmail) will show/import automatically.

To date it hasn't really become popular as an RSS-style tool though - from what I've seen it's largely used directly within your own calendar, rather than as a browseable list of upcoming events from many sources.
Damage to any thing of value is also economic damage. Someone's resources, natural or labor, will be consumed for replacement.
As the Docusaurus site maintainer, I believe MkDocs is great (and probably simpler) but our plugin system is more powerful, MDX/React makes it easier to make the docs interactive, and we have more flexibility for theming.

See the carousel of site screenshots here:
https://docusaurus.io/blog/2022/08/01/announcing-docusaurus-...

I'm curious to see highly customized MkDocs sites that truly respect your branding.

What I mean by respecting your branding:
- Courier: https://www.courier.com/docs/
- Figma: https://www.figma.com/plugin-docs/
- Iota: https://wiki.iota.org/
- Hasura: https://hasura.io/docs/latest/index/
- Ionic: https://ionicframework.com/docs
- Quickwit: https://quickwit.io/docs/

All those sites are customized, they do not look like a stock template. You don't need to be Stripe anymore (with a full engineering team) to get a beautiful and interactive docs website
This is an extremely narrow perspective on contemporary issues. I think laws in harmony with the constitution would need to answer these questions.

As I said, I don't believe it to be perfect, but I have severe doubts current powers could come up with something better.

The question of the number of representatives by state is a political one. Look at the EU. Pretty much the same. Otherwise a union would not be possible. This is a form of minority protection. There is valid criticism for that but said criticism should first understand why it is the way it is. There is also valid criticism of "the winner takes it all" approaches of course. These issues aren't even disconnected here.

Still, the US constitution is pretty great. I don't know of one that is better. I don't believe the current political climate could improve it significantly and I cannot blame it for not having a direct answer to any legal question. A constitution that might have that would be extremely long and probably extremely bad.
In the UK, only around 1 person per year is killed by electricity in the home. And often that person is doing something totally non-standard, for example building a tesla coil, or deliberately committing suicide.

Contrast that to 250,000 deaths per year (in the USA) by medical mistakes or preventable adverse effects.

At some point, we have to decide where to put our efforts. Electrical safety is arguably oversolved - ie. we put too much effort into it compared to the safety gain of any extra effort, compared to medical accidents which is likely undersolved. Even simple things like requiring a doctor to not do more than an 8 hour shift, like we require of truck drivers, would probably save a lot of lives.

The idea of 'more safety is always better' needs to be broken.
Not precisely what you asked for but relevant to this topic of a game engine: A bunch of former NCSoft developers got sued (and lost) for heading off to their new game studio BlueHole with stolen Lineage 3 code and design material. This resulted in jail time.

Enums compile down to pretty standard objects right? Is there a situation in which you found them to do something odd?

Decorators, yeah, I can imagine that’d end up interesting.
In my opinion, yes. I think really the biggest disadvantage you have with Nix is the learning curve. I mean the language is horrendous but I don't think it's really that much of a disadvantage neither.
Sure, I don't mean to imply it's not possible or anything even close to that, merely that it's something that will take a while rather than be ready this decade.

I'm kinda leaning towards expecting batteries (specifically batteries and not storage in general) to be the first way a continental power grid gets to 100% renewable, even though I prefer the aesthetic of a global grid. But I don't have any skin in the game, and wouldn't bet against e.g. a cheap high temperature superconductor grid or liquid hydrogen.

On one hand, you have the perspective of this and other librarians where users are locked out of their accounts by Google in a (debatable) measure to secure them.

On the other hand, you have the perspective of computer repair people who routinely field calls and service computers due to the elderly (mostly, but also everyone, including tech literate folks) getting scammed, account takeovers, downloading malware, and worse!

So maybe the solution here is not to *force everyone and their literal grandma* to be using these machines for all of their business??

That's great first hand experience, thanks for sharing. Personally I'd probably look at an open source package, but my biggest worries about building my own emailer would be:

* making sure I followed the best practices (DMARC, DKIM, etc).

* building IP reputation. Not sure how SES does with deliverability, but I know that can be an issue.

* email clients rendering of my newsletter. This could by using text only, I suppose. That might work depending on your audience.

Again, though, at least you have the option of building your own solution when you have a newsletter.
