Best evidence yet that fifth fundamental ‘chameleon’ force isn’t real
I would be upset if we didn't have it. Not caring about it would only let ISP leverage their market position.

I am not a liberal progressive and yet I think detractors of net neutrality only stand out with their ignorance about why general access to utilities like the internet should not be leveraged against those that seek it.
People would still tend to (ab)use the downvote button as an outlet to express their discontent / disagreement. Just human nature, we can't all be robots.

To be clear: I frequently find myself undoing my downvote actions after a moment of reflection, in cases where I realize I've done an impulsive downvote because I didn't "like" the comment. I'm not perfect (first to admit: far from it), but I do try to be a good member of and positive force in our community.

Really appreciate you folks, most of the time this is a really cool place to spend time. Also, @dang deserves a lot of credit for keeping things headed in the right direction.
Yes, and if you use a code formatter, like Fantomas, it can automatically modify code to be in the more legible format (like Prettier.js), so you don't confuse tuples with list elements.

I've been using f# for a couple years, and after the honeymoon phase is over, I've started to really value the benefit of native interop with dotnet libraries.

Most enterprise SDKs/libraries (e.g. AWS S3, Stripe, Twilio, Rollbar, etc) have a dotnet SDK, and it just drops into an F# codebase as if it were a 1st party lib (you reference them using object-oriented dot notation instead of functional style, but still it just works).

Even when Microsoft puts work into, for example, cryptography security updates or JSON parsing performance, F# benefits from that.

Well run bug bounty programs have strict guidelines on what is and is not out of scope, and changes like this would certainly be out of scope (in fact, generally social engineering as part of the exploit chain is itself wholly out of scope).
I do not know what kind of advertisement they host, but it is perfectly feasible (if less lucrative) to host privacy-preserving user-friendly ads.

I adblock everything anyway as the internet is generally terrible, but I am aware that many good intentioned website are caught in the crossfire of this war.
Paid free would be where you pay for an app and get the GPLed source code along with the binary.
This ONLY happens in countries with high salary ceilings: China, India, etc, or countries with high QoL despite low salaries: Southern Europe, Czechia.
This phenomenon is actually another example of the phenomenon he mentions. In strict precedence parsing, operators are assigned meaning rather than productions of a grammar (which would could those operators in distinct contexts), so once you've decided a comma indicates a tuple, it's easier to just allow this syntax.
iOS DNS filtering ad blockers are nice because they work on most apps and have 0 overhead. Unless the app is running first party ad auctions I no longer see any ads on my phone. A true blocker for the browser would definitely be nice, but I'm pretty happy with the current solution.
This exactly. I am playing around with gpt-3, its trivial to build schemas using natural language, and building functions that interact with those schemas, also with natural language

That's what church is. The experiment has been successful for at least 2,000 years.
Yes, I assumed that since we can talk about categories and kinds we must be able to talk about a shared truth based in objective reality. Either "human" is a category we can talk about which is based in objective reality (and our understanding of that objective reality in biology, physics, and metaphysics) or we're not going to make any progress because we're discussing "taste" using the language of "truth".

To put it another way, either there's something objective which can be said about dropping children off of bridges in the moral realm related to bodily autonomy and our understanding of the duties and rights around bodily autonomy or else there isn't an objective moral realm. I presume, from your previous comments that you hold that there is an objective moral realm. Did I mistake your meaning?
This comment makes no sense. Missile and rockets both go sideways. Modern missiles all use solid fuel. Japan's solid fuel rockets are build by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which uses the same fuel and manufacturing expertise to also manufacture missiles.

I doesn't have exprience with Snowflake but with Cloudera's tech stack on on-primise infrastructure. Both Cloudera and Snowflake use same approach: Separating computing and storage with main purpose: trade-of performance for scalability, easily maintaining without knowledge about user data, thus easily selling the solution to a wide range of customers without care about customer cost( maybe this also of them purpose). In my experience with Cloudera's tech stack, it become very complexity bruce-forced system, we need install HDFS for store data( storage layer), and Hive ( basically use Mysql to keep mapping between table and the hdfs file of that table)metadata store to keep HDFS's metadata, Impala to query engine( computing layer).
Because computing layer don't know much about how data are organized, It is very limited when we want optimise our system, query like 'select * from TABLE limit 1' lead to scan overall data on many of hdfs file, and because Impala is memory computing engine, scan all table data lead to memory exceed, and because that, DA can't use sampling data to quickly manipulate with our data. Everything leads to the hell, and because many of things can effect to our system: HDFS, Impala, Hive metadata store, etc... so very hard to fix problem when it occurred.
How are you sick of customer service experience that you did not experience?
How else is the CEO supposed to respond? He's in the tough position where he can't prove a negative; the burden of proof is on the original tweeter. So the CEO needs the "hacker" to either prove it or admit they were mistaken, and bug bounties are exactly how companies do this.

(Also, I feel like it's implied that "an account that isn't yours" doesn't mean "mess with any of our customers you want." He's clarifying that because with white-hat(ish) hackers, you'd be shocked how many people try to claim bug bounties from us because they "hacked" their own account using their own credentials.)
Thank you, this saved me a lot of frustration.
And if you put details and sources you get flagged too. It’s a waste of time to discuss this kind of stuff.
I am an Economist and I don't especially love my profession, so I'm not going to defend its many, many flaws, because it has a LOT. But this comment section is just a dumpster fire of opinions from many people that you can clearly see that never really touched or studied Economics, beyond some article, book or ideology... You know, Gellman Amnesia and all that.

It's fascinating to me how tech-related discussions are on point here and this site is a gem, but regarding other topics, they tend to get off the road fast and hard, especially social sciences.

I visit HN every day because I am a geek at heart that loves machines since childhood and then I studied people (Economics, Psychology, etc). We know that technology is queen right now and you are on top of the world. Almost everyone here is way, way smarter than me and I know that, but knowledge in one field, no matter how important or powerful it is (like tech right now), does not translate into others, especially social sciences, human behavior, and the like. Despite that, the hubris and the "I'm better than you" attitude on these topics are astonishing.

I love this site, it's really a gold mine of very sharp people and responses, just not on some topics.
> Open source means you can read the source code

Note: It doesn’t only mean that.
FWIW, every generation feels this way.

Older me is now super embarrassed by my prior enthusiasm for object oriented programming and misc methodologies. I have very vivid memories of grey beards dismissing my naivety and me thinking "they just didn't get it." [0]

If there's any kind of karma, today's noobs will live long enough to be mocked by even younger noobs.

Small solace, I know.

[0] I always remember criticisms. I've got the voice of doubt in the back of my head always wondering what I'm missing, what if they're right, etc. It's a serious bummer.

I find computer screens cause more eye strain than Kindle.

Yeah, I don't think we can avoid screens completely. I just wanted to offload some of the reading to the Kindle. So I could read outside more.
> Git’s packfile format uses delta compression, which is essentially “storing diffs”.

FWIW it's closer to lossless compression e.g. LZ77's behaviour: git's delta compression has two commands which are LITERAL and COPY, and technically it doesn't need to copy linearly from the base object, it would be unlikely[0] but a delta could start by COPY-ing the end of the base object, then add literal data, then COPY the start of the base object (or COPY the end again, or whatever, you get the point).

Adobe Flash and Actionscript 3.0. As for why actionscript 3.0 was made it was built I think Adobe wanted to turn Flash into an application programming language. And it failed pretty badly at this. Actionscript 2.0 had a well defined purpose that is to control animation. But Actionscript 3.0 became a monster that imposed a lot of work to do those basic things and it really did not excel at anything beyond that.
That plus noscript. Sure I usually have to spend a few seconds enabling various domains to get content to load (thanks JS!) But honestly it's worth it.

Not necessarity. The worst ads are the lowest paying, which is why they are spammed so much in the lowest-quality places. Good ads make their money and don't need 100x the impression count.
1. For F# you can can use both .NET and JavaScript libraries (with tool called Fable), so isn't a issue.

2. There a lot of ways to the that, which one with pros and cons, but isn't a issue in my opinion

3. For imports there are a thing called AutoOpen that is strange at first. Just need to be carefull where to use

4. .NET documentation tend to be writed for C#. So you need to understand at least a little of C# if you want to use that libraries. But also there are a lot that can be use idiomaticaly with F#, so isn't a big issue.
Oh! Sorry! "Token" is an intermediary object that acts as a sorting category.

So if your markup was:

```

#parentA Start 'Welcome Node'

#childA /1 "this node has a

line break, so its content is in quotes"

```

That could be "tokened" as

[

{

tokenType: "ID"

value: "parentA"

decorators: [{ "character": "#", indexes: [0]}]

},

{

tokenType: "CONTENT"

value: "Start"

decorators: null

},

{

tokenType: "TITLE"

value: "Welcome Node"

decorators: [{character: "'", indexes: [0, 13]}]

},

...

]

So it could be that you can read multiple different syntaxes into the same tokenizations.

Like

```

#parentKey parent

#childKey child

#childKey -> #parentKey /north

```

could be equivalent to

```

#parentKey parent

#childKey child /north

```
They should have titled this the Humanist manual for Civilization. The most significant influence in civilization is the Bible. This is worse than missing a solution. It is looking a problem, seeing the piece that fits the puzzle and looking away for another piece that never quite fits because they don't like what it means. It is voluntary, self-imposed blindness.
Yup.

If this is true, it's not super surprising. The "clean pad concept" means that the amount of work NASA can do on the rocket when it's on the pad is pretty limited.
Now you know how I feel reading all those articles about "Africa".
> No one programs LabVIEW like that.

You mean it's possible to not program LabVIEW like that. Probably true but in my experience people do make programs like that (though not as extreme). I think that meme is a real program.

In fairness to visual programming I think LabVIEW does give it an unnecessarily bad name purely because it is so damn ugly and unreadable. They didn't have to make everything out of Windows 3.1 16x16px icons and the ugliest line styles you could come up with. Simulink looks way nicer for example.

But I still think they make little sense. Editing them is a huge pain, and adding comments is enough of a pain that nobody does it (I'm generalising; I'm sure you are the rare exception).

I think it's pretty telling that logic designers use SystemVerilog and not some graphical circuit diagram type thing even though they're literally designing circuits.

I didn’t trench mine as I anticipated it might not be the ideal solution… plus it goes up a 45 degree hill, threads past cliffs, etc. - ran it inside a little 10mm slitted duct, at least, to protect it from friction, UV, and curious teeth.

I need it to be able to deliver PoE, which is why I went for Ethernet - but yeah, probably going to replace it with STP, although not sure that’s going to stop lightning induction in the earth/shielding. Other option is splashing out for SWA STP, which should definitely do the job.

For the other run, where I don’t need power, I’m using 802.11n with a pair of Yagis to go about a kilometre. No problems except the usual headaches around layers and discovery a Wi-Fi bridge provides.
Antiochus was not exactly a nice guy if your beliefs happened to not be his.
You can invent elaborate conspiracy theories about how Musk is laying to everyone including NASA.

And how SpaceX does pro-bono work for NASA in hopes of ripping them up later.

How NASA, Jeff Bezos, Government Accountability Office as well as courts are blind to it.

(Bezos already dragged NASA trough GAO and courts with regard to HLS)

And Musk is doing that instead of doing it in the honest and straightforward way like Bezos by just lobbing the Congress and asking for a lot of money.

Or you could just accept SpaceX track record on space programs and that SpaceX delivers cheap services.

This author is well known for trolling the Jacobin Magazine crowd, so I feel a bit silly taking his arguments in good faith. But I can't help but point out how bizarre this statement is:

> It’s easy to draw a line between this unhappiness and the socialist movement in the U.S. Socialism rapidly became more popular among young Americans in the 2010s, and the Bernie Sanders movement exploded upon the national scene. The socialist movement has people from all classes, but overall it’s far from a proletarian movement — this is fundamentally a revolt of the professional-managerial class, or at least the people who expected their education to make them a part of that class.

Sanders did disproportionately well with voters without a college degree. If there is any candidate that fits the the author's concept, it would be Elizabeth Warren.

It's a monopoly in the narrow vertical, but that power is diluted given the existence of close substitutes (driving yourself, bus, train, and some remaining old-school taxis). No doubt there is still some monopoly power, though.

> I'd argue the municipality should just operate it as part of the public transit system.

I'd probably prefer it if you just regulate their monopoly power. I don't like the idea of each municipality or country having to write their own software for an Uber-like platform. Seems like a lot of duplicated effort. And after the Obamacare website cost blowout, I don't trust government to write software well, it'd end up as money being stolen by people like Accenture.
I run pi hole in an x86 docker container on my NAS. No raspberry pi required, despite the name.

I think it bears parallels to eugenics, from a risk perspective. We don't understand the genome well enough to ensure that effects are isolated. Flipping gene A to make someone taller might also turn them purple unless you also flip genes B, C and D which we didn't realize were related.

As it spreads, there are also dramatic risks from population-level genome homogeneity. Imagine if flipping a particular smart gene on also caused genetic predisposition to severe infections from certain viruses/bacteria, and then Sars-Cov-3 happens. Right now, I don't think we can guarantee that won't happen.

Actually, you know what? Still not trivial.

But it's not "trivial".
> Am I missing something?

Sincere efforts in breaking password hashes is something else than a single individual with one GPU at their disposal - it's not the angry neighbor capturing your Wi-Fi traffic or some "randoms" on the dark web who got their hands on a leaked database.

Realistically you will never need to exhaust the full key space (vocabulary), even if the commonly used set would be as high as 10 000. If you refuse to use a password manager and random character strings for passwords then at least don't settle for just four words, because you'll be going for common and memorable words, not something from the fringes of the dictionary. Unlike the case of a bunch of random characters, when picking a couple of words that you can remember easily there's a psychological factor involved which can be attacked, so make it count.

This isn't a very helpful observation. By Eastern European, I presume he means the former Soviet Bloc. It has nothing to do with ethnicity, language, or culture, and everything to do with the lingering effects on organizational and academic behavior imposed by communist and totalitarian regimes. From Romania to Lithuania, this impact can have a remarkable consistency.
I basically read it as a polite way of saying ‘I can’t work out how this comment relates to the article (which it should) and I would like to give you the opportunity to expand on the connection or restructure your comment to be related to the article instead of using the heading as an excuse to talk about some distantly related thing you care about.’ I could be wrong though.

I think it tends to give better results than just arguing about whether something is on topic and the parent commenter probably does have some more specific things they could say about Eastern Europe here.
