> Thanks to him and his son, Brazil was the last country to abolish slavery.

Dom Pedro I tried to abolish the slavery in the very beginning of our independence. What stop him? The Congress. And he respected the congress because he wasn’t a dictator. The same thing happened with Dom Pedro II, who spent his life trying to end slavery.

People think that a monarch can do whatever he wants, but this is not true. Only dictators can do whatever they want.
I remember going to the US in 1998 and being shocked at how bad NTSC TV looked compared to PAL, the colours just looked wrong.

That's a really big problem yeah. What if you were given the control to choose if you want to get more similar video recommendations in the future by checking a "recommend similar videos" box after you finish watching a video? Instead of the algorithm doing it by itself? Because sometimes you can watch a video and then you got everything you needed from it so you don't necessarily need to watch similar videos.
A few tech youtubers have noted the problem before with cables and a lack of specifications and many cables not meeting the specs they do list. Amazon is flooded with knock offs with brands that last a month at this point, you will get your money back if it doesn't work as specified but its frustrating that it continues.

I think the problem is even wider than displayport/HDMI cables. It extends to hubs and everything USB as well, the bulk of stuff is sold with very little information compared to the actual specs, most hubs are USB 3.0, a type C connector wont say what parts of the standards it accepts etc etc. Its become an increasing problem on laptops as well, you have USB C ports that may or may not pass displayport and its really unclear at what speed they can do that with the manufacturers refusing to list the specs or even answer the questions.

The specifications have never been more complex and convoluted and it really makes it look like the standards process has been corrupted to be able to sell substandard equipment. This only hurts their brand and customers however who find it hard to get what they want. I would say it starts in the specifications but honestly while convoluted with too many optional parts its the sales end that refuses to accurately portray what their products can do. Its a giant mess at the moment and I don't see any signs its going to get anything but worse.
I am mystified by the idea that 'the scammer disappears' - does Amazon do zero vetting of people they pay out money to? Can I continually commit copyright fraud for profit on the most popular audiobook site?

Subconscious Self-Sabotage: What It Is and How to Avoid It
You have a good point that we can start a discussion around but I think you're being overly negative and falling for survivor bias. E.g. Does the success of Photoshop mean proprietary product management is superior? Or does the death of Corel Draw mean it's doomed to failure? And Apple, everyone's favourite product company, has Pages and Numbers which are not better than OO (and Word's incumbency is vaguely illegal).

So let's put that, and FOSS dominance in browsers and IDEs and databases and programming languages and media players to the side.

FOSS could do with better product management: what would it look like? More roadmaps? More figma/inkscape mockups? More user interviews?
The interest group that managed to pass the law has all the money.
I am sure Jack had enough opportunity & authority in his tenure to vouch for some kind of open standard so that Mastodon, Nitter etc could co-operate on this framework & data was transparent and accountable (instead of the API throttling on several directions). Lamenting now & shadow blaming others (as well as lending support for Musk in taking over) when he has let go of the company entirely is a strawman argument.

Not nitpicking but that's still not a mobile phone. Again, imaging living your life now saying, "I'll ring you later, when I get home."

I’d much rather use a safe language such as Rust that has the same speed without all the worries.

Probably a harder learning curve than Odin or Go but more likely to work and also run faster (than Go at least). It also has zero cost functional programming paradigms.
I have used a standard installation from Debian for years. Mine starts in about three seconds. Is that too slow? Also: How fast does Photoshop load? Surely slower than three seconds.

Also: Have you considered contributing a patch to do background loading after GNU Image starts?
What's your global setup like, if you may? Running software for government means you generally want your data isolated from everything else. Wondering where cockroach fits in.
If Jack was a powerful and effective leader none of this would’ve happened. He doesn’t seem that incredible to me - just someone who made Twitter, doesn’t mean he’s a genius.
It's in the middle between the two!

This is a popular myth, but it isn't true. Some very specific things in physics, like atomic energy levels, are quantized, and everything else is continuous. And atomic energy quantization emerges from a continuous model of space and time.
Of course. If the patient is experiencing symptoms those should be addressed.

How Many Equations of Motion Describe a Moving Human?
To be autonomous? Seeing the actual meteo I need something like 40kWp p.v., 10k liter of hot water as a reserve, subdivided in 500l batch to being able to re-heat only some reservoirs depending on the meteo, around 400kWh storage since to make it last I should not normally go more than 85-90% SOC every day.

Did you ever try the real autonomy game? Just consider that in winter you can count on few hours of Sun let's say one day yes and one no, if you live like me in France south. In those hours you need to run anything together. You have postponed dishwasher, washing machine, you have to cook, heat both sanitary water and reserve for night and early morning home heating, recharge the batteries, car's battery included etc.

For instance to heat enough water to heat my home a single day (~2000 liters at 60℃ to get in the morning at 32-33℃) I need a powerful heat pump, let's say 3kW absorbed. I need ~2kW per home appliance (dishwasher, washing machine, coffee maker, induction for a single pot etc) I might have good enough Sun from 9.30 in the morning to let's say 14.30. Some appliance are very quick (like a coffee maker) but some are not (the dishwasher heat water few times for 8-10' a time over 90' timeframe, the washing machine normally only one time) recharging a massive battery demand both a certain amount of sustained power to avoid unbalanced cells, demand little power for a not that short time to balance them at the end of the charge etc. Essentially I need around 25kW for around 4+ hours per day. Being able to count casually passing clouds in the meantime. Not only. Such system need to be constantly managed to lower quickly and mount quickly the load following p.v. production. Some appliance can potentially and practically (for instance modern heat-pump water heaters are already made to be controlled by some modbus/mqtt automation), some can just potentially (nothing on sale do that, but it's possible), some can't.

Really try the game, including home heating in winter, NOT counting on the grid even for small loads.
Losing atmosphere due to solar wind is very slow process. If you spent 10 millions years building the atmosphere, you can afford few millions years to build a replacement for that ship.
Yeah agreed on the USB spec. I have a CaberQU USB-C cable tester via Kickstarter, which I can use to see what pins are connected and from there at least guess what they support.

Unfortunately the CaberQU site is down right now, but the Kickstart page is still up: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/electr/c2c-caberqu-usb-...

I'd love to see something similar for DisplayPort, HDMI and more.
When I used to do the occasional "fun run", the sheer number of people at the start meant that unless I wanted to duck and weave through the crowd, I _had_ to start slowly and then gradually speed up as everyone spread out.

Even when I did a run without much training leading up to it, that forced slow start meant I'd ease into a sensible cruising speed and be fine for hours, as opposed to being wrecked inside of 20 minutes of running alone.
Seems like you need Go then? You mention you want memory management, type safety and proper abstractions, hence the suggestion.

Of course, you also mentioned C's syntax as awkward for you, so you might feel the same with Go's syntax.

You Need a Personal Website
Nowadays, everybody uses social media like Linkedin, Medium and Twitter to market themselves. In this way, you are entrusting your most valuable asset, your online identity, to algorithms whose interests may differ from yours.

5 steps on how pure-AI content will be priorized in social media over human generated content:

1) The Pre-Internet ‘People Magazine’ Era
2) Content from ‘your friends’ kills People Magazine
3) Kardashians/Professional ‘friends’ kill real friends
4) Algorithmic everyone kills Kardashians
5) Next is pure-AI content which beats ‘algorithmic everyone’

Do you want to stand out from the rest? Build your personal website. Your digital space should reflect who you are, and not what social media algorithms decide about you.
On the other hand, Brazil is now so polarized that it's just not possible to not see this event in the same lens. Unfortunately.

Of course. I meant it's suitable for many, many purposes, which explains why it has millions of users.
Yup, I'm a huge fan of this idea, and I think this is the obvious Step 1. After that, we can figure out how to genetically modify plants and other advanced terraforming techniques with automation.

Terraforming would be a very long-term thing, but we better get started now.
I think this makes sense considering that most of the cloud-native software is written with Go. (Docker / Podman, Kubernetes, Helm, Istio, Terraform, etc.)
You make it sound like the only alternative to solving all problems with shunning, ostracism and lifetime bans is to just let everybody do everything they want, and we don’t want that, do we, so let’s just do the first thing, huh?

There will always be a small amount of people who don’t obey the social niceties. Some are psychopaths, or have some other mental problems. Some may have extenuating circumstances. But I believe that society can be improved such that these people are rare and far between, and society can invest in picking up the remaining slack.

> Improving mores and living conditions should go hand in hand with protecting these improved mores and conditions from those who try to push the society back to the savage state for a minor benefit for themselves.

Sounds great, except whenever such things are actually implemented, it tends to be a lot of steadily increasing punishment; any improvements, whatever they were initially, will eventually be cut from the budget since they do not give immediate visible results, whereas harsh punishment get great ratings. People love a good public flogging.

This is a problem perpetuating itself. People don’t believe in the public spirit and goodwill of others, so they don’t want to invest in actually improving it, since they think it can’t be done. And so it goes.
Key phrase: but if.

Apparently too many have forgotten that these companies knew well in advance where there product was taking us. They intentionally over years if not decades hid that from us. We know this. And yet we still trust them? And even want to reward them?

But if might as well be Since we are fools...
For the random piano, you are right, there is no difference. For a paino being used to play a very specific piece, the tuning might be slightly different depending if the intended song is using D# or E♭, depending upon the key of the song. Though in such a case the piano might be tuned using a different standard that better fits the song.

One more extreme example is two pianos tuned to 12-TET, but one is half off. They are made to be played together by two closely in sync pianists for a few more complex songs that need 24 steps between octaves.

Overall I do find the system confusing enough to wonder if a better one won't one day catch on. And it might already have, I know some musicians who can't read sheet music but play by chords. It seems more limited in the level of detail you can specify, but works plenty well for the songs they want to play.
What it comes down to is, if you want to have a society where there’s not people living in tents on every corner or shitting outdoors, you have to make and enforce a rule that people aren’t allowed to do that.

Then when you find someone breaking that law, stop them. If they’re addicted to drugs, send them to rehab, whether they want to go or not. If they’re mentally ill, send them to an institution. If they’ve just decided they’d rather live that way, then jail, because it’s simply not allowed.

Yet when we try to make and enforce laws like that, people get told they’re “criminalizing poverty” and we end up with the situation we have now.

Yes, you can reasonably expect adults to function and take care of themselves, including finding shelter, food and appropriate restroom facilities, without a government agent holding their hand every step of the way. Indeed, the vast majority of people do and we depend on it.

I think Rust is what you need. It basically won’t compile if your code would have runtime errors or memory leaks, except for cases you need to explicitly handle. The linters in VSCode also make it pretty practical to use. It’s been a joy to program in since I started about a month ago.
My incel meter just exploded.
Still they bother to compile ssh, git, they even got some custom OpenSSL binary. They definitely have some resources allocated for “non-profit” development tools.
This works --- for a while, until you starting sending more than a few hundred SMS per day.

Your wireless service contract specifies "personal use" --- not data center operations. This is a vague definition at the discretion of the service provider but at some point, they will cut you off.
I very much agree with him regarding DRM, and I understand why it puts him off launching audiobooks on Audible.

Still, it is worth commenting that there are trivial ways to remove DRM from Audible files. I myself do it to my own collection, partly out of "lockout prevention", and partly so that I can listen to the books using apps that I find infinitely more covenient and feature rich than Audible's own (shout-out to Podcast Addict).

I won't detail how it is done, out of respect for the fact that HN is based in a jurisdiction where the DMCA represses free speech on the topic. However, Doctorow could always release his audiobooks on Audible while pointing with plausible deniability towards information on how to remove DRM, hosted from countries where we're lucky enough that talking about technical procedures is not a crime.
> There are already devices sold for hikers etc that operate like this (simple SOS text messaging etc) and sat tracking of vehicles and trucks.

Yep, I’ve owned a ton of them over the years. My first was the FollowMeSpot device coming up on two decades ago. They’ve of course gotten a lot smaller, but are still definitely “thick fugly bricks” in comparison to Apple’s designs. Looking at tear downs of them, I see absolutely no way you’ll fit the important bits of one inside an iPhone case.
The key example for this is BitKeeper. They signed their own death warrant by ceasing to provide free licenses to open source developers. Unfortunately, one of the projects using it was Linux. Linus was forced to write git and the rest is history

Go is not a fast language compared to C/C++/Rust. It’s more in line with Java as it’s also garbage collected.
Once I figured it out, over 20 years ago, I’ve found it trivial since. Though not as simple as sharing on Windows.

A friend of mine has been trying to learning Linux this month, and he came to me frustrated, losing his mind. A whole day going all over the place on the Internet, obviously following tutorials he didn’t understand, and installing who knows what, and I asked, did you install SAMBA? He asked, what’s that? However the package was installed and I explained smb.conf file and SMB user.

The problem is people are lazy and don’t want to look stupid. So they will spend days searching the web, reading through the endless ‘blind leading the blind’ user forums (Ubuntu comes to mind), instead of RTFM. And won’t ask someone for help until they have wrapped their brain into a frustrated knot.
If Kubernetes is solving a problem of employees, making it easier to find jobs elsewhere, and making it easier for companies to find standard people, why are Kubernetes profiles more expensive?
Thanks for the Mayo recommendation. I am currently going through her Statistical Inference as Severe Testing, and find it very tiring. So far very little is about actual statistics and the meat of disputes, but rather about meta questions and the he-said, she-said of those disputes. Maybe the prior book Error and the Growth of Experimental Knowledge is a better exposition of the ideas?
What it comes down to is, if you want to have a society where there’s not people living in tents in every corner or shitting outdoors, you have to make and enforce a rule that people aren’t allowed to do that and enforce it.

You can make all the rules you want and enforce it in whatever draconian manner you choose and there will still be tent cities etc as long as America keeps underbuilding adequate levels of the right kind of housing.
Just consider it technical debt.
Everyone thinks like that, in every field. I suggest you just accept that you did not grow up in an environment surrounded by hackers/programmers that pushed you to write code. Instead you had fun with your friends, which is fine. You are 23 now, that is a perfect age to start building your skill-set and set a path towards the person you want to become. When you are 30, you are going to be like, damn, it was a good idea to start hacking at 23, now I know all these things and have a deeper grasp on technology.

And don't forget that you are born, then you live and finally you die. Whatever you do or do not do, the universe will forget about you. Might sound cynical, but that is the reality. So do whatever you want to do, the important thing is that once you decide to do something, you do it. You can (almost) become anything you want, so imagine your future self and set a course towards that future.

The best way to predict the future, is to create it.
There's some tidbits good psychology in this guide.

I don't know of this writer or their subject, but the piece touches on
a hard part of sustainable, professional writing, which is "where do
authentic ideas come from?".

Integrating self with thought and action, in harmony with your
everyday real-life is an art. Same skill I see in good stand-up
comedians and musicians. Many writers don't find that source in their
hearts. They write only what they think people want to read. Or
professional writers can churn out copy on what their boss tells
them. Technically, it can be great writing, but it doesn't flow from
anywhere.

This impediment to sustainability is expressed when s/he says:

> "For years, I thought that being successful and being myself were
diametrically opposed"
> In 1807, United Kingdom prohibited slave trade in their colonies and pressed Portugal (that had very close relationship with UK) to do the same.

... and at the same time replaced them with "indentured labour", who just so happened to be poor Indians famished by savagery of the British taxes and the famines they unleashed, and had little choice or say in pretty much anything.

Kind of like how Indian-labour is now treated in Middle-East and elsewhere and the Indian-state exploits them for its own foreign policy.

Extraordinary tactic to kill your competition.
I think to understand the difference between the two notes is context. Like the word ‘read’. The same word is pronounced different according to context. ‘I read the book’ vs ‘Did you read the book’.

Regarding this, to clear up a common misconception, regular debit/checking takes at least one day to clear (US ACH), usually 2-3 business days, while Bitcoin transactions are validated within 1-2 hours, regardless of standard regional business hours.
Arguably the demographic and economic aspect should put into doubt the western reporting on Xinjiang and Uyghurs.

Perhaps Saudi-funded Wahhabism is actually a violent problem to be solved through education, public funding and jobs. Perhaps Uyghurs working in all sorts of jobs just like other Chinese people is in the interest of everyone and thus encouraged.
So, the pattern is:

<const_name> : [type] : <value>
<var_name> : [type] = <value>

where the type is always optional as it can be inferred?

That's why `a :: 32` declares a constant, but `a := 32` declares a variable...

This is pretty neat, actually.
