You've completely missed the point. We as a society believe people have a presupposition of innocence. The state must prove guilt. You don't get throw into jail to await trial forever if you happen to be wandering the wrong part of town - and you shouldn't if you're wandering the wrong part of the globe. This is literally the bare minimum standard to which we hold ourselves.

And for very good reason. The states power should always be checked, at home or abroad.

This is especially important as these days wars don't end.

To be fair this applies to VPNs too. Their customers give them money, and that should make their business sustainable without needing to spy on people.

To be honest I trust Mullvad way more than I trust my ISP not to sell my DNS queries.

I think that low latency can act as a proof of being close and fast, but once the apparent network latency goes up how do you know that server times are low if the server can claim the time was spent on the network?

Often very useful things are never the "next most important" if you don't scope "importance" very carefully.

"Slow down to speed up" can capture it, setting aside times for those non-critical maintenance steps that prevent problems or make everything just a little bit faster can make worlds of difference in your work, but never seem to be able to compete with the "next most important" thing on the list.
That’s what staging environments are for : deploying every commit to check everything is fine, doing the QA and get the alerts.

I doubt there would be any detectable difference. Logging to disk can easily be done out of the hot loop, and I doubt any service with disks has any relevant memory in swap/page file.

The point of the RAM-only server is not that it ensures that everything is operating from RAM. Everything is operating from RAM already even on servers that have attached disks. The point is that RAM-only means there is no intentional or even unintentional logging to non-volatile memory or storage. Think of it as a physics enforced capability system (no disk is physically connected).

I read this differently than intended. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why RAIDs were so troublesome. I mean, yes, they can be a little slow, so running in RAM would be much faster.

Then I got it. Raid. Not RAID. Made so much more sense.
I used to get those from Google about the person with my name who worked for Microsoft doing compiler stuff. Well, I didn't take any calls, just emails.

Forwarding packets doesn't need much if any disk i/o, so the server will be running mostly from RAM either way, even if the hard drive isn't physically unplugged.
The graphics (and sound!) remind me of the 1981 BBC Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy TV series. The DVD release of the original BBS television series had a "making of" about the graphics, which were done using stop-motion photography of hand-made transparencies. I suspect these graphics were done the same way.

(If I could find that video online I'd link to it. I'm having no luck and I can't be bothered to go digging for the DVD...)
‘Fair point. I am not judging you Im just trying to educate an uneducated reader and call a cat a cat: there is no "AI artist" thats a lie. Only "AI trainers"’

If people can make art out of literal garbage, I think they can make art by manipulating a Turing-complete class of machines (recall that LLMs can perform program synthesis).

I agree that naive and even not-so-naive usage of AI tools will mostly be artistically superficial, but I believe that (some) people will break through the creative limitations inherent in the copycat nature of this machinery.
Article only looks at the 4th and 5th, but I think the more interesting observation is that if you pick any small number ratio between 1:1 and 2:1 (i.e. using numbers from 1..10 and lying within a single octave), they almost all have a reasonable 12-EDO approximation.

1:1 is the unison. Not terribly interesting.

2:1 is the octave, which is exact.

3:2 is the perfect fifth. About 2 cents of error.

4:3 is the perfect fourth. Also about 2 cents of error.

5:3 is the major sixth. About 15 cents or so of error.

5:4 is the major third. About 13 cents or so of error.

6:5 is the minor third. About 15 cents or so of error.

7:4 is the the first one that doesn't really have a 12-EDO equivalent, though the minor 7th is generally used, with about 31 cents of error.

7:6 similarly doesn't have an equivalent. It's about 44 cents flat of the 12-EDO minor third. In fact, most ratios with 7s are right out.

7:5 is in the ballpark of the 12-EDO tritone.

8:5 is the minor sixth. About 13 cents of error.

9:7 is a really sharp third, again no equivalent in 12-EDO.

9:8 is the major second. About 4 cents of error.

10:9 is also the major second, about 17 cents off in the other direction. (12-EDO makes no distinction between 9:8 and 10:9. That's actually fairly important, as it lets you get away with chord progressions that don't mathematically work out.)

It's really amazing to have so many decent approximations of ratios with only 12 notes. Different EDOs might have better or worse approximation of various musical intervals. It takes going all the way up to 41-EDO to find something that's better at basically everything -- it even has a more accurate 4th and 5th, which is the one thing that 12-EDO is amazingly good at.
To this point: Markdown is a nice format for ingest because you can just paste in HTML. I am a bit more courageous and have some custom directives for my Markdown stuff, but it's all really 20 lines of code.

I think it's tempting to add a bunch of "time saving" features for writing, but lots of time just going with the HTML is fine. Maybe if you're writing out a post every couple of days then you can focus on time saves. Until then MD will get you most of the way, and otherwise you can always hack in some special case for your unique post
The InterViews library, written by John Vlissides, was for writing GUIs in C++ under X11. It came out in the early 90s. (Yes, I'm an ancient programmer)

He was one of the Gang of Four who wrote Design Patterns,
but he wrote this library years before the book came out. It always seemed to me that he invented all the main patterns in the Interviews library before they were subsequently (nicely!) documented in the book (which went on to become a smash hit).

I've since realised that I much prefer functional programming (Clojure!) over OO, BUT, oh my goodness, what a truly groundbreaking and beautiful bit of work it was for its time. I read every line of code in that library, and I became a much better programmer for it.
One thing that did capture some of the creativity of being able to edit pages was tumblr, although it had its own cultural issues, infamously.

This is the way. I agree that joining a server, everything in it should be muted by default. Or at least, there should be some global option you can set to mute all channels in a newly joined server by default.

The way I manage Discord is:
1) Join as few servers as possible. There are even some servers I will join, chat, and leave. Customer support servers are a common case for that.
2) 99% of servers you join total mute. Only go to them when there is an intentional reason to go to them.
3) There are maybe 1 or 2 servers that are "my home". The close friends Discord. The Discord server that I run. Places like that. Even in those places I mute the channels I don't regularly participate in.

In the end, even though I am in 15ish servers, I only have 15ish unmuted channels that have any significant amount of activity. It's not any different than having irssi open with 15 channels across the bottom. Hardly unmanageable.

To implement an HTML parser, you don’t need to worry about the corner cases at all, because the spec has your back and spells out exactly how every single case should be handled, in the form of state machines, which is how you will implement it. There are involved details, to be sure, but it’s genuinely not hard to follow the spec. The idiosyncrasies document you cite is for authors of HTML: implementers genuinely don’t need to worry about them, because it’s all covered by the spec.

For document.title: naturally in a browser you would use that; I intended to describe just how you would achieve it without that. And I completely forgot about document.getElementsByTagNameNS for some reason, which is of course more sensible than a querySelector + find. Note that .textContent.trim() doesn’t match the algorithm which is spelled out in the spec (just below the earlier link), on two counts. Firstly, all sequences of ASCII whitespace in the middle of the string need to be collapsed to a single space ("\r\n\f\t hello\r\n\f\t world\r\n\f\t " → "hello world"). Secondly, .textContent is insufficient, including the text content of element children as well, whereas the spec says child text content (with a link to the exact definition); HTML syntax can’t produce such elements (the parser switches into RCDATA state), but XML syntax can, as can DOM manipulation by scripting. Examples that are both titled “included” rather than the textContent “inclexcludeduded”:

data:application/xhtml+xml,<title xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">incl<b>excluded</b>uded</title>
data:text/html,<title>incl</title><script>document.querySelector("title").append(b=document.createElement("b"),"uded"),b.append("excluded")</script>

Again my point was most people don’t. It wasn’t a troll; it was a comment about censorship. How certain topics are also censored on HN and elsewhere. That people whom we otherwise would expect curiosity are instead pro-suppressing discussion ie censoring.

The fact you responded with “hello troll” is a perfect example.

1. The “election fortification” comment is in regards to https://time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/ it’s a tongue in cheek title from a group which helped “ensure the outcome of the election” as they put it.

2. Hunter Biden's laptop was confirmed legitimate. It was easily confirmable by multiple people who knew the Biden’s. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/who-is-tony-bobulinski-hunt... The senate report further confirmed it https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/HSGAC_Finance_Rep...

I can keep going, but my general point was that if you didn’t read the reports in detail (not via a pundit). Particularly, if you didn’t / couldn’t review the source material. Then the censorship worked. There’s a great segment on CNN about wikileaks https://streamable.com/6g5v where you can’t read Hillary emails, you have to hear it from CNN. “Remember it’s illegal for anyone besides journalists to read her emails” a lie, but a form of censorship.

It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong, it’s wether the discussion is suppressed. That’s the censorship.
I was thinking to myself as I read this: "this man has never worked somewhere long enough to be the guy who has to fix things when it breaks", and lo-and-behold, he's had 7 jobs in 8 years.
Remember — (from their own article announcing these servers):

> Running the system in RAM does not prevent the possibility of logging. It does however minimise the risk of accidentally storing something that can later be retrieved.

This doesn’t mean you can’t be logged. Running in RAM just means that any system level logging is transient and largely accidental. But if there were a need to specific logging, data could always be sent to a different node with disks. From Mullvad’s point of view, there is a reliability benefit to having diskless nodes. But from a privacy point of view, your access could still be logged, if required. But it would probably require more “active” monitoring than “passive”/accidental logging.

> For example don't have a medical emergency here. You'll wait more than 8 hours to get seen.

This is the same as the US. When you go to the emergency room, you're triaged. If you don't seem to have an immediate, life-threatening emergency, you often wait hours to be seen.

I think this is pretty typical. You can't scale medical staff and facilities rapidly by demand, and it's not sustainable to have the staff required for peak demand all the time.

On top of that, there's a shortage of medical professionals in most countries.
I think it's awesome. It forces you to think about any potential off by one errors.

One could say the same about China. There's no law against importing uncensored movies for private consumption and any laws against their sale by local denizens, if such laws exist, go unenforced. Even in Beijing, you can buy high-quality, uncensored bootlegs of practically every American movie and TV show.

> An equivalent to that for power would be to cook up a baseline kWh usage for a household

This just couldn't work in a fair way.

People live in old houses, new houses, condos, etc. There are massive variations between households in terms of insulation, heating/cooling equipment, etc.

In fact, I would wager that it's often cheaper to cool a wealthier person's 1,000 sqft home than a poorer person's 1,000 sqft home, just because the weathier person is more likely to have a recent, energy-efficient HVAC and better insulation.

This is a well known phenomenon in the study of the psychology of writing. Although we may start writing with an outline in mind, at certain points it feels more natural to go in a direction other than what we planned. This effect becomes more pronounced with greater expertise in writing. Study of the best writers shows that they rarely stick to a plan and are constantly rearranging as they revise a piece.
