Obviously only vanviegen knows what they're doing, but here is what I'd do (IANAL!):

1. Identify offender (scammer/spammer) using other methods like manual review

2. Block offender as described, and only now start logging the IPs for them (claim: at that point it's legitimate interest)

3. If another user now uses one of the IPs, assume their also offenders and log their IPs as well to weed out false positives (claim: they use the known offender IPs, so there is a good chance their also offenders -> leg. int.)

4. Ban all actual offenders and delete associated IPs for false positives.

It's possible they're doing this flow and just simplified it for posting here.

Saving the IP/geolocation could also be legitimate interest to identify altered locations. E.g. say you're US based and suddenly login from $abroad they could send you a 2FA mail to secure your account.

> Independent of supporting justification, I think that denying the concept of procedural disadvantage while proposing procedural advantage is also dishonest semantics.

I think this is a semantic distinction of your own making. I don't deny either exist, phrase it how you want. I said "procedural advantage", you can say "procedural disadvantage" if you must. It's "deserve" and "punishment" I have a problem with.

> Independent of supporting justification, I think that denying the concept of procedural disadvantage while proposing procedural advantage is also dishonest semantics.

Agree. And I believe we owe it to marginalized groups to put our hand on the scale. How hard we press I believe can and should be debated.

I generally agree with the rest of your statement. There is no way to have a perfect system, but that acknowledgement is usually used to justify doing nothing vs. doing something and thus reinforcing (and potentially worsening) the disparities.
It depends. I know a couple of people that have channels and they really like to help others. But I'm sure most people is looking for something else.
I know that security cracks will not like what follows - If you only use it for 2FA codes, does it really matter?
At risk of stating the obvious, Paul Graham has written extensively on the subject of finding startup ideas.

What you are describing should actually be easier, because you wouldn’t necessarily need it to be able to scale.

Another example of the frequently touted idea that to show conviction in a problem, you must either support the non-compromising right to do it (ex: 2nd amendment absolutists), or the non-compromising banning of it (the guy in this article).

To be quite frank, this is a very childish way of viewing the world. I get that media companies like Vice portray things in this way because it's an easy way to get views, and therefore makes for a headline that's an easy way to get upvotes.

We should aim to be better than this.

Reminds me of a geology professor I had in college. She had a fully photographic memory and recited the entire book, word for word, front to back during class without anything at her lectern. As impressive as that was, it's also what made me skip her class except for tests, because what's the point?

Sure. Our energy is still derived from the photons released by the sun, even if the sun needed gravity to form. Gravity is necessary, but isn't the source of the energy.
If it'll get people to stop accusing other people of anthropomorphizing, I'm 100% on board. Now if you can think of a way to get people to quit asking for definitions of the words intelligence and consciousness, you'll be a legend and maybe these discussions will advance for the first time.
Yeah, how has he lost exactly? He hasn't sold.

Awful reporting from a once reputable organization.
My current thinking (I’m a total dilettante….) is that energy is a state in closed system. The system of course designed by the observer. For example, a cart half way up a hill. Does it have positive or negative potential energy? Depends on how you define your system.

I think doing the first 2-3 stages of any course is usually a good enough to understand the core for the learning experience. The later stages tend to get more involved (e.g the last stage of Git & SQLite are rather tricky for most).

Good suggestion regarding having trial projects for every language, we'll consider that.
I ended up reading the book Blindsight (Peter Watts) that's been floating around in comments recently. A major theme in the book is intelligence and its relation to consciousness (including whether consciousness is even beneficial). If you agree with the idea, you'd consider that DALL-E is indeed intelligent even though it appears to be a "Chinese Room". Humans would be "gluing things together" in just the same way, but with this odd introspective ability that makes it seem different.
I really like Sublime Merge. The interface should be an easy transition coming from the CLI (its focus seems to be on making the CLI convenient over creating a pretty interface like Tower and Kraken and SourceTree try to). And it's from Sublime, one of the most consistently high quality development teams out there.

Open Source BI Version with Tableau kind of grid charting support
Hello All,

I am Nikhilesh, cofounder of open source BI Helical Insight.

We just had a major release of version 5.0 in which we have added a grid kind of charting like Tableau. A long way to go but in this version we have revamped the entire UX UI based on all the feedbacks we have received.

Please do give it a try and let me know what should be improved.

My discrete mathematics course had an oral exam for the final exam. I took it as a summer course and the books didn’t arrive until 1/3 into the class’s.

I felt like I was BSing my entire oral exam but got an A.

I was never the same after that course. 10 hours a day of logical homework fundamentally changed how I thought.

To this day I still cringe when people use phrases like everyone or all without actually meaning the set of everyone in existence.

I keep a copy on my desk and thumb through it occasionally when I need help with my writing. Next to that book is also a copy of Williams and Colomb's Style: Toward Clarity and Grace. I've also read the USAF Tongue and Quill. There are good lessons in all 3 of these books for technical writers.
Take a hint from JetBrains or something, and if you absolutely must have some subscription fee guarantee a permanent version, and then actually patch bugs in all the versions for a reasonable time. Or just sell us a product, and offer maintenance/sell upgrades if you must.

Otherwise, go out of business - especially for this kind of product.
From my experience, Italians and in the south of France. The French also shut everything down on Sundays.

In the middle east I’ve also seen people napping in mosques. The large ones remain nice and cool during the hot summer day. Mind you, it was Ramadan, so that might have changed things.

Overall, I expect people in hot climates to sleep through the mid day heat and go back to work later. I for one envy them.
> My family orders take-out once a week. I used to go pick it up almost every time. DoorDash reduced my personal stress level by so much that the 20% service fee is an absolute bargain.

In your case I'm glad you have an option that works for you. At the end of the day it's a case by case value analysis. I'm so viscerally against things like tips and service charges I'd rather just buy a frozen pizza from the grocery store and snack on that or do takeout than support something like doordash. I think a lot of people need things like doordash less than they think they do, so I like sharing examples of how that can be done.
The Git UI built into all Jetbrains products (Pycharm, IntelliJ, etc) is fantastic and does everything you’d need.

I'm a zealot for pointing out that this tool distinctly doesn't solve what is often cited as a major footgun and misunderstanding of how docker containers are almost always built?

I'll take a learning curve with actual reproducability any day anytime. Add this to the "git is hard" list of complaints. Bending over 8hrs a day and line cooking is harder.

Do you know how many stupid "you're using docker wrong if you don't do this quirky trick!!" articles I've read or written myself over the last 5 years? And still virtually no one bothers to follow all of them because they're virtually impossible to achieve with conventional package managers? Just the zealots noticing this?
But did Dunkin’ Donuts learn your address and buying habits when it paid for that advert? Apple could be serving you accurate ads that rely on collected data, while only telling DD that an ad was sold to Apple’s idea of a relevant viewer and let them judge if they want to buy more. I think we need to distinguish this, perhaps you are with the walled garden spying. Do you trust the option to reset your advertiser ID?
Fascinating. I've noticed the same problem with Midjourney and Nightcafé as well.

Yeah, the electronics free car that people say they want here is a bit like the cars that enthusiasts say they want on other websites. We used to joke that if the industry followed car site comments, they'd all offer at least one brown, diesel station wagon with a manual transmission.

In reality, people don't buy that. And at purchase time, people choose the ones with features over the ones without them.
Just because the environmental offsets could be done, that doesn't mean it's a good way for society to spend our limited resources. You could just ban private jets, still tax the people who could afford to use them, and tax fuel for all modes of transit.
Why is long term memory a requirement? Are amnesiacs not intelligent?
That last bit about the horse is pretty loaded. Knowing what a giraffe is means knowing that it is a mammal, has a blood system, eats leaves, reacts certain ways to certain stimuli, etc... That is a lot more than just knowing what it looks like. Image recognition is not the same a relationships or knowledge.

Don't ban. Tax it and make the money go into carbon capture and green energy.

Then make it very trendy to have your own jet, like the highest level of social status.
Perhaps a controversial take on why we feel like doing less – remember the pandemic? It’s been just long enough that the last 2 years feel like “This is how it’s always been and always will be”

But it’s not! The last 2 years are abnormal in every regard. The joy for life will return. The gatherings will be back. Seeing family will be fun again.

Precisely this! You don't know what a giraffe is, either. But you can talk about a giraffe to yourself, using words with correlating imagery that you can "see" by feeding through your visual cortex, and that's close enough.

Netlify is very expensive, their Analytics product is $9/month/site. If they just charged $9/month that would be one thing but per site is ridiculous. I ended up just hosting a Plausible instance on DO.
I took 3 months off last year to get a game project finished up and released to Steam! Glad to see other indie developers here on Hacker News. I can't commit to weekly meetups, since I'm back at my job full-time, but I wish you the best of luck on your game!
I know. I get that. But I can’t be 100% what I upload isn’t copied other than hearing about how you won’t do it in the TOS. So I prefer to do all this locally. That being said less technical folks can use this and likely will.

No, they really don't. I manage a fleet of hundreds of servers with NixOS. Surprisingly huge companies are using Nix, feel free to look around. I can build for 4 different architectures, with identical system configurations, from a single readable codebase.

I've actually never even heard this particular complaint. What exactly have you heard about problems with nix "at scale", or are you just exaggerating what a "learning curve" is again?
I don't think I even need to do the math on this, to demonstrate that our total energy usage is many orders of magnitude smaller than what would be required to cause the problem you're discussing.

Solar is great, and growing fast, but for fairly obvious reasons works better as part of a multifaceted solution than as a single source.

That's a really vague rant. What are you suggesting specifically? The public schools in my district all have required PE classes, and there are after school sports for students who want to participate. So physical fitness is still a key component of the educational system. What more do you want schools to do? Should they cut history class so that students can spend more time doing push ups?

I haven't seen much propaganda in the curriculum.

That's not a word game at all. To know what a giraffe is is to be able to understand the implications of being informed that something is a giraffe. Dalle would never assume on its own that "a giraffe close to a low flying helicopter" could be very dangerous for the giraffe, but "a horse close to a low flying helicopter" is safe.

It seems like just the opposite to me. The current wave of EVs are very early technologies that stem from neglecting the cost of batteries for a long time.

15-20 years from now, they'll likely look more like the pinnacle of engineering, but they are actually pretty crude right now.
Depends what you mean by ML; there are a lot of successful ML practitioners with no formal ML education, but far fewer (but not zero!) ML researchers without the expected academic background.

Finding a small, contained use for ML in your software/data job is a good path into the former, but I have no advice on the latter.
Fascinating. In the most basic of philosophies, extracting conserved energy from our planet doesn't really fix the problem. Even in the best case the unintended and unknown consequences will destroy any predictions as to how something like this plays out.

What is cloud asset inventory?
I was furious with ghost kitchens as soon as I saw REEF carts pop up in Portland even before the pandemic. These things were wrecking local food carts from the start, taking good walk-up locations to serve delivery drivers but not walk-up customers, hiring away cooks from restaurants during a labor shortage with typical startup overinflated wages that they cut as soon as the business hit any bumps, and data-harvesting information about people and neighborhoods from transaction data.

There is no good long-term result from ghost kitchens. The pandemic handed them a crowbar and they've wedged themselves into the landscape, and co-op/commissary kitchens are starting to push back, but now it's an infestation. There are fucking Wendy's ghost carts in my neighborhood now.

New visual programming environment: OpenSCAD Graph Editor
Announced/also discussed on Reddit:

w/ releases for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows:

https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor/releases/ta...

It's already been updated once since announcement, and the manual seems really good:

https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor/blob/master...

It seems a really promising tool, and the discussion on the Discord was quite enlightening. https://discord.com/invite/AsxWyczCJF

It supports all of OpenSCAD, and is extensible and able to use existing text/coded modules (BOSL-2 is cited as an example), and seems really promising --- I'm going to try porting: https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview to it, just so I can re-factor the code and hopefully get a better understanding of it visually. That brings me to a question --- is there a way in code to determine if one is running OpenSCAD as opposed to a clone?

Unity and Godot are the most popular choices, based on my time spent hanging out with other indie developers. If your game is a 2D RPG, RPG Maker is also a great way to get started. You can also use GameMaker if Unity and Godot seem intimidating.
Scientists sharing code helps with reproducibility.
I can't remember the last time I saw a ban on SA that wasn't after a string of "stop trashing discussion" probes--sometimes in the dozens--or wasn't some flavor of FYAD-escapee bigot or death-threat-spewing weirdo. Even extremely tedious, thread-killing arguers will often be left alone unless a IK is ignored when they say "drop it" or whatever, and that's usually just a sixer.

There are people who get really mad that they eat probes for, say, misgendering trans people, and I for one would like those people to be madder still. And preferably no longer on the site.
Hard to say without knowing what kind of game you want to make. I would say look to the games you play that inspire you and to which you aspire to make, then look up what engine they use. For instance, I really like Nuclear Throne and might some day try to make something similar. If I did I would use GameMaker since that's what they used and thus it can probably let you do a lot of what I liked about that game with ease, such as the ultra-juicy hit feedback.

If on the other hand you like Slime Rancher, well it uses Unity and probably that would be a better choice than GameMaker for that kind of game.

I also second Godot though, which is not widely used by many projects but seems awesome to me and totally capable of moving a 2d game out the door quickly.
