When postmodernism had to compete with modernism, it lacked the disadvantage of modernism’s association with totalitarian states. Today’s art needs to be inoffensive to today’s totalitarian benefactors, yet comes at a time when people see an axis between authenticity and derivativeness. So the existence of post-postmodernism means people are looking for sincerity outside modern art.

From section on local storage consent. For storing data in the cloud you only need consent to store their personal data. You can store non-identifying data within th cloud. For example you have a web game and you use javascript code that generates a session id randomly then you use that session id to store data about a game stats in the cloud. (Why you would do this I am not sure) You wouldn't need permission from the user to store the non-identifying data.
Yes I agree that the reach of language matters. I spoke about French which has more reach than Hungarian. I guess that Russian or Chinese also have quite an impact.

are there any plans to also have LiveBook open up in a separate wrapper app, like Electron?
>Boolean: bool_t. 8-bit type with only two possible values TRUE (1) and FALSE (0).

Why aren't they using stdbool if they use stdint? 8-bit bool typedef can cause surprising issues.

>char_t (8 bits). The UTF8 representation is used "de facto" throughout the SDK,

Also this is blatantly wrong. Char can't represent a character in UTF8. Just use uint8_t if you mean a 8-bit byte representation.

Minor nitpicks, but looks cool I guess.
Notably, this would be illegal in Europe.

The advertised price has to include everything a typical buyer will end up paying.

Eg. it was found illegal to advertise a certain price which only applied if you paid with a certain quite rare credit card. (and there was a surcharge for other cards). You have to show that a good chunk of buyers end up paying the advertised price.
Paying off Chess streamers is pretty much the only way Chess.com can keep people using their site. Their product is simply inferior in every way, except for their library of master lessons, and all these GMs exclusively streaming through Chess.com.

I figure all this spending on sponsorship and GM content is why the rest of their site is so inferior to Lichess. Lichess can spend all their time perfecting the platform, and it really shows.
haha, yea everything isn't everything.
I get recommended the same videos for months. Sometimes they even show old recommendations from a year back.

I'm thinking recommendations can be significantly increased by using a ruby gem because what they have now, certainly more complicated and convoluted, isn't working at all.
So the site looks a little overloaded, but it's amazing when you get the data downloaded. If you have a very fast gfx card do try the FIRE galaxies viz.

- ERC20 stablecoins are not a paper IOU but ok.

- all these protocols are beta software, less than a few years old. Uniswap as one of the oldest is probably also the most secure.

- NFT: ability to hold custody over a digital record without relying on a single private company's servers to uphold that. But I expect you will move the goalposts...

- Cryptography: take a minute to look at developments in ZKP, MPC, new signature schemes. Many uses outside of pure blockchain[1].

- BigCorp: because they can extract value from it. If 5% of Shopify or PayPal users want to use crypto payments, the company can support that method and charge rent on it. Or they can ignore crypto, and let another company absorb the potential revenue. But because they like profit, this is why we see Shopify, Stripe, and PayPal all integrating crypto currency.

This is my experience too. Worked with an Indian start-up and most of them were utterly useless. They also never managed to make any of their deadlines because they'd always say yes to whatever you asked. Thank god for the one guy who always fixed everything we needed.

Yes, the scope is not "35k existing GitHub repos are infected", since AFAICT all the infected repos are forks, so the title is misleading.

However:

1. The scale is pretty worrying. Given the total number of repos on GitHub (> 100M) it's a drop in the ocean, but still huge.

2. Typo-squatting on, say, PyPI or npmjs is certainly note-worthy, and this is a very similar attack.

3. At least some of the infected forks had several stars, some from ~ 5 year old accounts, so apparently some people were using them.

4. The original Twitter thread did note that infected forks were being created — it just didn't emphasise that this was the only attack surface, probably because the author didn't realise.

> For one thing, as with any legislation, simplifying it to a limited number of examples is guaranteed to lead to error by omission. I'm sure that you've noticed that when legal firms post guidance about the GDPR (and in private correspondence like you would have received in your own conversations with lawyers), they are never as definitive or absolute in their advice as this blog post is.

You'll notice they never concrete advice on anything really. For the same reason no matter how strong your case is they'll always tell you that you might lose. Lawyers say lawyer things.
> Spot on, I’m so different now than I was then I disregard anything anyone without kids says.

I would posit this is universally correct. Us not-parents can "believe" we can accurately imagine what you go through or what we would do in your place. Theoretically speaking, the theory matches reality :)

Yet imagining is literally not enough! People without children do not viscerally know what it is to parent, 24/7 for the rest of your days for the foreseeable future. How the accumulated indescribable-joy and the mounting exhaustion that you simultaneously carry influences slash impacts your decision-making and relentlessly molds the options you'll choose to make for the rest of your life.

Good luck explaining how different this parenting experience can be for every person and child, even within the same family in the same environment two children can be polar opposites with no obvious reason other than "life finds a way".

> I feel like they’re not real adults too.

I say this with all my empathy: the fact that for you parenting is such a core part of the adult experience is not only correct but beautiful, and anybody who tries to invalidate that is extremely wrong.

That said, there is another layer of unkindness in your position that you must unpack yourself, if you wish to have adult-level relationships with people with a different set of adult-core concepts.
I think it is. I can’t stand Danny Rensch though. His commentary is very obnoxious, and listening to him talk over the Super GMs that he’s had on the few chess.com streams that I’ve tuned into has been terribly frustrating.
SDL Shader Language (Sdlsl) Quickstart, First Draft
If this is a concern it is supported in yt-dlp and mpv.
A lot of not great advice in here.

A slightly more realistic approach I’ve seen to a lot of these issues basically boils down to:

- minimise PII collection as much as possible in general and start thinking of it more like a liability than an asset.

- Isolate the actual PII in your backend and stop passing it around from system to system.

- start working more with “references” to the PII data which is isolated and can be tombstoned when required.

It takes a little bit of thinking around the concept of “identities” and a deep understanding of how data flows through your various systems but getting on that early right from the point of collection makes life a lot easier.
Yes, but they were uninteresting, so not a problem.

>> “Digital Assets: As of June 30, 2022, the carrying value of MicroStrategy’s digital assets (comprised of approximately 129,699 bitcoins) was $1.988 billion, which reflects cumulative impairment losses of $1.989 billion since acquisition and an average carrying amount per bitcoin of approximately $15,326. As of June 30, 2022, the original cost basis and market value of MicroStrategy’s bitcoin were $3.977 billion and $2.451 billion, respectively, which reflects an average cost per bitcoin of approximately $30,664 and a market price per bitcoin of $18,895.02, respectively.”

— Key fact is that the average cost per bitcoin for MicroStrategy was $31664; which is much higher than I expected and significantly below current market value.
> Certainly the refs making a bad call doesn't give anyone a pass to break unrelated rules or go on a rampage.

Agree.
We're much more like artisans than engineers, in my opinion (maybe with the exception of extremely deep-in-the-stack things like compiler engineering).

The problem seems to be that because there's no "right way", only wrong ways, discussions end up being circular. I'm not a civil engineer, but I imagine there is a "best way" to build a bridge in any landscape, where any decisions and tradeoffs have well defined parameters, gained through trial and error and regulation over literally thousands of years of building bridges.

Us "Software Artisans" spend almost as much time arguing as lawyers do because, like law, it's all made up. Information, and human-to-human communication via CPU instructions abstracted to the point of absurdity.

I also get the vibe that greybeards like Uncle Bob and Martin Fowler understand this very intuitively.
> The list of materials considered biocompatible enough for implants is pretty short, and PTFE is on that list.

Not to stray from the main discussion but biocompatible has a pretty narrow scope.

Time effects are not always fully captured, it often boils down to quite literally "we injected this stuff in 50x bunnies' bloodstream or implanted under their derme and none of them died after a month".

With any new substance a cautionary principle should be applied, the main issue is Industry is spitting out new substances faster than we can meaningfully study them.
lichess is by far the better platform too
No, because that's not the right way to search for meanings. You probably need to help out the search engine and provide the context that you would like to know the meaning.

The correct answer appears if you search for "sota abbreviation" [1] or "sota meaning" [2].

Ask HN: Who is making money fighting climate change and with what?
This is actually my big issue with the Austrian school of economics.

Get rid of state extortion and then what? Get extorted by local oligarchs or warlords doing the same thing? If the world changed into their utopia, we would end up with some form of feudalism again and we would have to fight our way back to democracy.

It is easy to argue that X>0 extortion is unjust and hence this pillar of society ought to be demolished, but that is the fallacy of composition. That pillar might not be the best or prettiest but it certainly is important and without it a lot of things would go wrong. What is ignored is that the pillar protects you from Y extortion where Y > X.
Ask HN: How do you manage your tasks?
I'd like to know what tools, methods, workflow you usually use for managing your personal tasks (house-related, job-related, appointments).

I keep rattling my brain trying to discern what the implications of hyper advanced generative models like this will be. It's a double edged sword. While there's obvious tangible benefits from such models such as democratising art, the flip side seems like pure science fiction dystopia.

In my mind, the main eras of content on the internet look something like this:

Epoch 1: Pure, unblemished user generated content. Message boards and forums rule.

Epoch 2: More user generated content + a healthy mix of recycled user generated content. e.g. Reddit.

Epoch 3 (Now): Fake user generated content (limits to how much because humans still have to generate it). e.g. Amazon reviews, Cambridge Analytica.

Epoch 4: Advanced generative models means (essentially) zero friction for creating picture and text content. GPT3, Dalle-2.

Epoch 5: Generative models for videos, game over.

IMO, the future of the internet feels like a totally disastrous (un)reality. If addictive content recommended by the likes of TikTok has proven anything, it's that users ultimately don't care _what_ the content is, as long as it keeps their attention. It doesn't matter if it comes from a human or a machine. The difference is that in a world where the marginal cost of generating content is essentially zero, that content can and will be created and manipulated by large malicious actors to sway public opinion.

The Dead Internet Theory will fast become reality. This terrifies me.

I lost a Yubikey, so I revoked the subkeys on it. Github didn't let me update the existing pubkey, so I had to remove and re-enter it. Now all things signed by the revoked key, despite being before the revoke date, come up as unverified.

Indeed, there is a legitimate interest in keeping everything relevant to payments and execution of contracts for the time period that contract exists and for the time period a party can sue.

For instance, in the UK one can sue on a civil matter for up to 6 years after the issue arose (and I believe same period for taxman to come after you) so it is perfectly valid to retain data for 6 years even if the user asks you to delete them. That does not mean keeping all the data you may have, though, but certainly names, addresses, payment details, order and shipping details (if relevant), complaint/support correspondence, can and should be kept. Then it gets trickier because arguably you can be sued over anything so there has to be a reasonable judgment call.
There are more reasons, but...

At core there is a dichotomy between Chess.com's business-model-ish approach and Lichess' communist approach... to put it in Thibault's own words.

No freemium tiers. No subscription plans, ads, etc. Just donations. That approach has been good for keeping the UX lightweight and snapy.

Chess.com has been around longer, so Lichess' is still catching up with features. I quite enjoy having them both compete as they are.

Angular 2+ is almost six years old at this point too, and the devs who knew v1 still could use it perfectly. And people did successfully migrate back then. And for real: this is "a framework that got a breaking change between major versions". If that’s the worst example we have, I would say the JS ecosystem is doing jolly fine! I've had worst breaking changes in backend frameworks, to be honest.

About the other two: like you said, both React and Vue can still run old code, almost unmodified. The track record of those two is way better than most backend frameworks, by miles. It’s not even a fair fight.

Sure there's new concepts, but it's not arbitrary stuff or old patterns, it's legitimate stuff that makes writing UIs better. But the old ways are still there too.
Lichess is quite special due to the actually honest non-profit funding.

In other areas of funded open source, developers are kept on leash, where those with money or foundation seats order the work horses to comply.

I mean, I am by no means an expert in PHP, and in fact most of my knowledge of it comes from hating on it (or having been thrust into the unfortunate position of being the system administrator for a popular MediaWiki instance), but even in my limited experience with it from a couple lifetimes ago I know that most of the documentation for PHP is crowdsourced in the documentation comments section. That might be depressing, but that isn't what that comment was defending: it does feel likely to be true that there aren't many "unknown unknowns" waiting for you in PHP.
Not really, climate is very complex. Thinking this can be centrally planned and controlled by some elite group of people flying around in their private jets is the same thinking that's gotten us into this current financial crisis.
