You seem to be focused on the so-called common man and his inability to do anything more than just believe things. I think you do this common man an injustice.

Let’s say this common man is religious (pick one) and is going about his day and is injured in some accident. He is taken to a hospital, and one which he knows is aligned with his religious beliefs. Upon arriving the doctors triage him and tell him he’s bleeding internally. But then they tell him that they have assembled a team of highly respected members of the religion to which he adheres and these persons are revered among its followers. They are about to lay hands on him and pray for his internal bleeding to stop. He asks if they will also be performing surgery, to which they reply that no, their god is loving, caring, and will hear the prayers of the faithful and heal him.

Now if you really are talking about the truly common man, this common man will, with whatever strength that remains, object quite strenuously! He will insist that a doctor perform surgery on him immediately and stop the bleeding.

And why does this common man do this? Because what he really believes is that while his religious beliefs may provide some type of assurance and comfort, when the rubber meets the road, he’d like some science, please.
Watching this man made catastrophe play out before my eyes is painful.

No there's not?
I used to think this way, but think about all of the amazing books that you didn't experience because you were stuck on a book that didn't click with you. There are a bazzilion books, you aren't going to read them all, you might as well read what clicks with you.
The issue is more basic sanitation than aesthetic purity.
Calm down, will ya? I'm here exactly because I don't have much idea with the M1. I'm here to take others' opinions and inputs. I stated that I hate Apple products and that is my opinion. You have your own opinions too. But if you're not here to help you can excuse yourself out.
This is actually good advice.
Jesus spoke about humility and dying for your beliefs, which he did. Martyrs don't need to signal their virtue (or social status), they do the virtous thing.

Status is a public display of desireability. It doesn't have much to do with virtue, but everyone wants it anyway.

Don't blend those two concepts, they are separate. People who make a public display and performance out of their virtues, 'virtue signallers' miss the point. You do it in humility before God.

People who don't show off their status, get little benefit out of it.

When people hear the word 'propaganda' often what springs to mind are relics of the cold war: gritty soviet posters; or GI Joe. This is what the propaganda of the 21st century looks like, however.
It's art from an era when the art wasn't meant to represent the product in any concrete way.

It's a lot like art from old Atari 2600 games, or text adventures: The product itself had either handfuls of pixels or screenfuls of text. Print that on the box, sucker... These days, the whole culture has changed, and people get annoyed when ads for games show pre-rendered cutscenes with graphics that are merely markedly better than what the game itself can accomplish, as opposed to being in a genre of art your hardware is physically incapable of reproducing.
Okinawa is derided as being "a time warp 10 years behind mainland Japan". The first Don Quixote was opened shortly after I got here (2011? 2012?), we just got 7-11 konbinis within the past 5 years, and we are still waiting for our 1st Costco to be built.

I've never seen these wheels. Maybe in 2032? shrug
Many open source projects are practically run as co-ops, though often not for profit. I guess open source doesn't start specifically in Silicon Valley, but it's in the computer software space at least.
That's great. Especially if you have a lot of people telling you this is an awesome book worth reading. I've definitely put effort into reading hard books because of this. But mean, 95% of the stuff I read isn't this. It's still useful to glean some info out of but there are only so many masterpieces in the world.
I've looked into the history of Mondragon and what is often overlooked is the fact that their credit union could legally offer higher interest rates to depositors than competing banks. So they were able to accumulate the capital needed to finance their operations and expansion somewhat unfairly. If you wonder why there aren't more Mondragons in the world do more research on the history of Caja Laboral Popular.
Most books aren't worth buying. Add those books to the waitlist on the library website and once a week pick up 20 books. 18 of them will be crap. 1 will be ok. 1 will be awesome and maybe worth buying. Try before you buy. Ehem, libgen works this way too.
I once had a domain at Namecheap show "Ownership change pending approval" to another username with a cancel link beside it and I recognized the username as someone who made offers before out of band. Never got an email or saw any kind of notification, and I've been in the game 25 years and know those extremely long domain transfer emails and read them carefully. Started transferring domains away after that.

Any practical implementation avoids encrypting individual characters for this and other reasons. Wikipedia goes into some detail about chosen–plaintext and chosen–ciphertext attacks, and about some of the different forms of message padding that have been invented to secure against those attacks. The result is that RSA is applied not to individual bytes, but to blocks made of dozens of bytes at a time. Some of the bytes in each block come directly from the message to be encrypted, others are null or have other known values, and some will be computed using hash functions.
The new longest possible train journey in the world
> Google is the Pinto of SaaS

That's some strong personal opinion... source?

GCP has been extremely performant and reliable for me across several different companies.

I'm not saying that people have definitely run into issues, which we've all read about here on HN, but this sounds more like squeaky wheel than the norm.

> Thanks to their "no support" policy,

Their support has been excellent, when I've needed it, which is rare, since it has just worked for me very well for a decade now. Their documentation is also pretty well done too. Just like with any sort of SaaS solution, you should be building a relationship with an account exec.

I've had CloudFlare start to put in weird restrictions on my account once I hit a certain size. It showed up with requests being oddly denied and zero notification. I contacted my account manager (called their cell phone!) and the problem was resolved in a few hours. I don't even pay for a business plan, but I did make sure to develop a friendly relationship with them when they originally reached out to me.
So like I don't appreciate this sort of thread normally, I feel like it pollutes our contexts. (Though I confess on some occasions saying to myself something like “this is going to get downvoted to hell, but I have the karma to afford that” so who am I to judge.)

But in this case, I wanted to say thank you to the folks in this thread for a different reason. This sort of comment actually helps me get a sort of side channel of information for this really implausible claim that he reads 5 books a day.

I have actually read five books a day for two days straight, it was intense. Like, “oh it's dark outside, I should probably eat something today” intense. The idea that you average that every day, goes from enthusiasm straight over to obsession. Voracious readers that I know tend to finish 100-200 books per year (which is also how they prefer to measure—who measures per day?!) so I don't think my personal experience is atypically slow.

And it's like, I read this comment thread and now I have more context... Okay, if this person is mostly known for moderating a blog, first off I can mentally degrade the claim to just, bragging about yourself on the internet, so sure, probably exaggerated... Maybe only does these binges once a week, but really does binge five books a day, just doesn't sustain it every day. But second, I mean, maybe he really is reading the sort of stuff that only merits 5 seconds per page, “okay so this person is from that school, they are hitting the major talking points, yada yada yada, oh hey, here's one atypical idea for folks from there, do I think that they are likely to have a second big idea, no, close book and consider it read.” One misses a certain luxurious Joy from reading this way, but if one was not reading joyous work in the first place then that's fine.

That in turn helps me better understand what the original article is trying to talk about, so kudos!
yes you overbuild, but solar is still one of the cheapest girls is electricity even when you consider the necessary overbuilding.
Check out Matias keyboards with their quiet click switches. They're very quiet and solidly tactile.
>> the fact that a service is critically dependent on a single server or maintainer as a design failure. Software should allow users to be more self-sufficient, not less.

Software allows users to be as self-sufficient or not, depending on their skills and resources. There is room for a whole spectrum of users, and obviously as developers we fall on that spectrum as well.

Self suffiency, in any area, is expensive in time, and money. I can grow my own food by buying the land and devoting all day to farming. I'm self sufficient, but I don't have time for anything else.

Equally I can choose to spend time running my own servers. I can buy hardware, learn many things, make mistakes, but be self sufficient.

However all that time spent is time I'm not focusing on my business. If my cousin runs a school, they want a "system that just works". They aren't interested in being self-sufficient. They don't have the time, or money, to (safely) host their own software. They are too busy adding value to their business elsewhere.

(most) OSS to some extent solves a problem that only very few people have. It caters to those who are time rich but cash poor. Most people though are time poor, and can easily find cash to make problems go away.

Adobe wins over Gimp because it does more, faster, thus saving the user time. Its a lot easier to find money than time, so paying the subscription is trivial. If it saves an hour a month, you're ahead even at minimum wage levels.

Of course there are those who value self-sufficiency, who seek out solutions that reduce, or remove, the supply chain. These folk exist in every part of society, and it is a perfectly good approach.

But it is worth understanding that this is a tiny subset of people. Most buy their food in a shop. Most are just using their computer to perform tasks. They have no more desire to write their own code, or host their own server, than they do to grow their own food.
Most devs that had apple’s touch bar keyboard remapped caps to escape. I enjoyed that change so much that I did it everywhere. Voila, a useful key within easier reach… especially for vim.
I recently breathed new life into my Vita with Adrenaline and a whole bunch of old PSX games. It really is a fantastic device, great build quality is exceptional and perfect handheld hardware for anything below 2012-era AAA games.

It really was let down by the business folks at Sony. I guess the upside is that it paved the way for the Switch and Nintendo really learned from Sony's mistakes (but even then, my Vita sees a lot more usage than my Switch).
I only used support once many many years ago and was asked for a one time support code from the main account. So I never worried about the lack of 2factor. But now I worry…
You should look into Topre boards. They are very silent and have great tactile feeling. It’s not as quiet as a MacBook keyboard, but it’s as quiet as you’ll get I think
I never use GIMP in depth but I imagine if they can't even read CMYK file before, it would be a big flaw.

I don't work in printing or publishing but I have opened hundreds of CMYK files in Photoshop for further editing. Also lots of (most of?) PDFs use CMYK.
offshore wind is much less effected because all the complicated parts are 100 feet up, and much easier to partially seal.

It's also one of the single most abused platforms for malware command control hosting. I've spent the better part of a decade chasing down state based actors and crimeware actors who have abused Heroku's free tier. Heroku's abuse efforts cannot be cheap.
The punishment was grossly disproportionate to the crime, and the laws were enforced selectively against poor and minorities.
No one is really talking about how all these goals are already incorporated into your local administrative region's development plan. Normally, if you search 'xxregion development plan' you get a document of what is planned - more bikes lanes, less cars, denser housing, etc. The documents are very similar everywhere. And this is because they are working off the same templates. I'm not sure about this but I understand there are monetary incentives given for the implementation of the goals.

Which is to say, that without a vote being cast, these plans are being implemented locally across the world.

If that's correct, is this not a UN takeover of government? Yes, worthy words around the goals etc, but aren't the people allowed a choice, with understanding, about what's coming their way?
Separate issues. I said enough in my post to indicate that I am sympathetic regarding the overall situation.
I have both in front of me at the moment, and the MacBook just blows the Windows laptop (which cost twice as much!) out of the water in terms of real-world performance & battery life. MacOS is far more efficient in terms of memory usage, and the optimizations Apple has quietly been working on for the last decade have seriously paid off - it is unreal, to say the least.

That said, I recommend whatever you are comfortable with, and prefer using day-to-day. You don't need to have "the best", you need to have something you prefer and enjoy using.
Being an alternative does not mean one product will replace another. GIMP will never replace or kill Photoshop. It will be an alternative sure, like tea, coffee, beer are alternatives/substitutes for water.

GIMP has sort of similar functionality but nowhere near the same polish or community or marketing or simply $$$ behind it.

OSS can only kill and replace closed/paid products where it can match the factors I mentioned above that goes beyond functional parity.
With this mentality, FOSS wouldn't even exist. But it does, and modern computing is based on it. So, your mentality might have some problems.
Why would you buy a product from a company you hate?

What we care about is getting all the nodes to agree on what order the transactions occurred (aka "Proof of History"). And Solana's goal is to reach that agreement quickly, that's why they call themselves the most performant blockchain.

So how does Solana introduce a concept of "time" without relying on a central authority?

Solana uses a "hash that runs over itself continuously with the previous output used as the next input". Performing a hash over and over again takes some time. Then, someone can quickly verify that this "time" has occurred. The verification of the hashes can be parallelized on a GPU, which makes the verification extremely quick.

Define "better". Do you mean, "the clearly preferable option in any election", or "acting on issues most citizens care about", or perhaps even just "more trustworthy"? Because these are all different and they don't all break in the Democrats' favour in every election.

The abortion issue is a perfect example. They talked a big game for decades about codifying Roe, and did absolutely nothing every time they got into power, and just cynically used that as a lever in any election to pressure people into into electing them through scare tactics. Is that trustworthy? They seem to have gotten a boost in recent polls because of abortion, but oh boy if they don't follow through this time it will be a bloodbath in 2024, and rightly so.

Believe me, the Democrats are not above trying to subvert democracy to win either. They actually do it every election in a legal way, and recently tried to do it illegally and a judge smacked them down.

I get it, you hate the tactics both sides employ, but you at least agree with what the Democrats claim to stand for. Maybe ask yourself whether they actually stand for those principles or if that's just more cynical opportunism.
Really? In what regard? It is not impossible to clear away any unsanitary side effect on a daily basis.

Marking a bike lane or better create a separate bike lane secures people riding bicycle and convince them to take their bike
I grew up a in a village and sometimes took my bike to the next village, not many people did that. 5 years ago they created a separate bike lane. Now, every time I go back to my village I see at least one bike riding it, when before it was non existent.
Yes I understand that, you missed the point. The rules are just an idealized form of something more complex.

This is why Vim key bindings are the first thing I install for any editor.

The claims that they performed miracles and various testaments to their good character are hearsay, not evidence.

If one man claims that god said to him “such and such”, he may think that god has spoken to him, but I’m not obliged to. All I can say with certainty is that he is a person who thinks god spoke to him and subsequently told me about it.
I like lots of keys. I have an 1800 keyboard (with a numpad).

Which means going down the keyboard rabbit hole isn't that appealing - because they all tend to be tiny.
Yes you’re right. But OSS opens up a free market of vendors. Consider how Wordpress powers 40% of all websites in the world. The website owners pay hosts etc. to have full control and they arent locked into a monopoly vendor, but end users just use the stuff.
You can get paid to work on FOSS though. Google, Intel, etc… employees contributes to lots of FOSS as part of their jobs.
yeah, ive been running mattermost on a server for years. Very stable.
It is. We have many developers doing this at my company, full-time. They use Parallels to run the apps we have that require .NET Framework, but mainly work on .NET Core 3.1 and newer apps using M1 Macs.

There were some hurdles to jump over initially, but our internal tooling is evolving and it's a very viable option for us now.
This. When an extension is installed the privacy sandbox is removed. Google manually audits each extensions code and looks out for bad behavior. You cannot call out to external scripts or use mangled source code.
The minimum length of registration at practically all registrars is 1 year. Its practically unheard of, and against all professional standards for registrars to cancel a persons domains prematurely. Nobody expects it and they knew that and they pulled the rug anyway because apparently they value virtue signaling more than security.
The interesting part about Hangeul isn't so much so that it's phonetic - that property is not that uncommon; e.g. modern Serbo-Croatian and Macedonian orthographies are about 99% phonetic. It's that it's featural, meaning that the shapes of the letters are mnemonic and represent their sound values and/or relations between them (e.g. vowel harmony).

Featural scripts are pretty rare - it seems that they never evolve naturally, so it's something that has to be constructed, and then also to become popular for long enough to stick around. The only example I know of other than Hangeul is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Aboriginal_syllabics, and they are noticeably less featural.

(Featural scripts for conlangs are more common - e.g. for Lojban, there's Zbalermorna: https://jackhumbert.github.io/zbalermorna/write-up/)

One thing to keep in mind though is that Hangeul was very systematic and consistent back when it was designed. But languages evolve, and they evolve much faster in the absence of widespread literacy and mass media. And Hangeul is almost 600 years old now. So e.g. ㅐ was originally the diphthong "ai", consisting of ㅏ for "a" and ㅣ for "i", but it's now pronounced "e" - not dissimilar to English, actually, but with much more rapid and drastic changes. At this point, it's actually less phonemic than Serbo-Croatian.
If you’re happy with the feature set of ~Photoshop CS2 you may want to check out Photopea [0]. It runs in your browser, has a similar UI to Photoshop and (for me) has all bells an whistles. It’s also open source [1].

Our government may be a bit corrupt, but at surprisingly competent when it comes to taking money online via banking apps.
Think about that for 2 seconds. If everyone else had to sell their shares because they were desperately poor, where did the oligarchs get the capital to buy all the shares? Do you really think they were just average folks who made good stock trades?

Buying shares is not, by the way, how most oligarchs made their money. Rigged auctions and embezzlement were far more common.
