Historical costume dramas are also censored pretty heavily, sometimes in weird ways. For example, you cannot have zombies, because reanimating dead corpses is disrespectful.

There are also cases where a show gets "canceled" because of something the actor said or did - and unlike the West, when this happens, the removal is sudden and total:

Sorry :p this was way-way back in vanilla days, before I took backing up my code seriously.

I actually had a way more advanced, but very buggy script I used for "multi boxing", which is when you pay for multiple accounts and play them simultaneously. I used WASD, TFGH, IJKL, for moving 3 characters simultaneously, the numpad for targeting, and ctrl/shift/alt + number-row for casting spells on any of the windows. So ctrl+2 would cast the warrior 2nd ability, shift+alt+4 would cast the druid and mage 4th ability, ctrl+shift+alt+2 would cast all character's 2nd ability, etc.

Blizzard used to be a lot more lax about macros[0], and they liked multiboxing because it was more money. I had a GM message me once to confirm I was playing all 3 and not afk botting. We chatted about AHK and how he wanted to learn to code.

[0] also the tools to detect macros were way worse back then, it might have been that they just accepted it rather than actually embracing it.

Joe Rogan is a perfect mirror for the US's ultra polarized society, which is humorless, performative, ultra correct, and politically intolerant.
If he challenged them then they wouldn't open up. This isn't Jerry Springer. Instead of demanding he do the thing you want to do, maybe you should be doing that after the fact. If someone goes on his show and admits to doing horrendous things then reach out to them and let them know what you think of them. This guy's doing you a service by exposing horrible people and all you can do is complain.
I assume something like you suggest would be possible. It's normal to want to be able to take dozens of long-exposure photographs, maybe even a couple/few hundred. Each exposure might be 10 seconds, 30 seconds, or 2+ minutes long, depending on your equipment.

I usually have my camera take all the photos, but I could do this through a laptop, and could script the timing, assuming I had a good feed of the times that satellites will be interfering, and that there is enough time in between satellites to take the long-exposure photos.

I'm not sure about varying the exposure times, like you maybe implied, closing the shutter when a satellite comes by. Usually the exposure time is chosen as the longest that the combination of your lens and star tracking mount can do without causing star trails or being overwhelmed by ambient light pollution, and is the same for every frame. Shorter exposures don't gather as much data/light as longer exposures, all things being equal. My first thought while working around satellite interference would be to stay out longer to get more long exposures. It might be the case where having different exposures in a set of stacked frames introduces noise or other unwanted artefacts, given that you would be combining dissimilar inputs.

I'm not sure how often these satellites would be passing by and visible. The subject being photographed might be something large, like the milky way across most of the sky through a fish-eye lens, and you would need many of those 1-2 minute long-exposure windows without satellite interference for this idea to work. For a smaller subject, like a constellation, it might be the case where you need to also account for the position of the satellites, if there are too many to track based on time only.
Its technologically better.

First, I think the Lazar example says to me that he's not merely naive - it takes effort to not ask someone like that basic questions.

Second, the thing with national level news isn't just that people are "uptight". It's that there are many professional and well-practiced liars out there eager for a softball venue (people less obvious than Lazar usually). These sorts of people make significant money from their deceptions and Rogan is an enabler of this stuff, making vast amounts of money himself.

Edit: and just on the question of Rogan's evolution. Just by Wikipedia's bio, I'd say he didn't start with small nuts and graduate to fronting professional conmen. Rather, he started MMA chat, built to national level and then moved laterally to interviewing people saying "hypothetically true" things about the world in generally.
The short answer is: just try it, you are in for a lot of fun and puzzles.
If you have Windows nearby I would recommend Dolphin Smalltalk due to a great system browser.

> it's not only a code, it's a also current _state_ of the system

There is no difference in Smalltalk. The code includes all the created instances with current field values.

> updated code to a live system

From the user point of view everything is simple, yet the simplicity is the advantage of the compiler, not the user. If you update the code the instances that you upgrade run the new code, and if you don't upgrade the old objects they run the old code.
In that case there'd be no need to mention reagan at all? most of the "Soviet" jokes people tell seem to be made up anyhow.

I'm not seeing it. That joke could just as easily be told for any other national leader and it would still work.
The article describes mimetic trap as "it hurts to leave, and there’s nowhere to go".

Being able to retire at the middle of the career sounds like the opposite of that.
> Well, the state of the war in Ukraine (another part of the former USSR) clearly shows how wrong they are.

I assume you mean "Russia believe that they are the former USSR".

It's interesting to note that Russia in 1990-s focused on economic modernization - and while it went through highly criminal years, they built a good market economy by 1999 - while Ukraine was mostly (more) doing political reform - and they had established presidential changes. Now more economically robust Russia with autocratic ruling fights with still quite corrupt, but politically much more democratic Ukraine - and shows that, yes, it's better to be a poor democracy, than a rich autocracy, because autocracy will get you in the end... or maybe it's a too hasty conclusion.
Indeed, your point is well taken.

More specifically, what I mean is that I don't personally mind bc my attitude is that so much of my data is already out in the ether, that it's a non-issue at this point. I assume hundreds/thousands of companies already have my data and it's generally fine, so I wouldn't personally care.

But I don't want to assume that my own perspective is the common one, so I'm attempting to level set against others, as I'd like to act in an ethical manner.

This describes Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania and Poland, all former Soviet bloc countries. They've all had varying levels of success transitioning from communism to democracy and from a planned economy to market.

So it can happen. Could it have happened for Russia? Who knows? Based on the above, I lean towards yes.

It actually derives from an older and more crass joke. Said joke has been slightly modified in many different forms, but here is an example:

I would agree that modern China is basically fascist, but fascism is not a "mere variant of communism" in any sense. The key tenet of communism is common ownership of capital; in the authoritarian and totalitarian varieties, this is implemented as ownership by the state that represents "dictatorship of the proletariat". The fascist economic system is completely different.
Democratic republic, which is what everyone means when we say democracy.
That's the thing about nature. It has immensely complex programming that we don't understand. Often a "plague" of one thing exists to rebalance another thing.

If unmanaged nature does run wild with one or a few species, at some point they overstay their welcome and get rebalanced.

Of course the final equalizer is fire. And that's something that we as humans really dislike, because it burns our work (and homes and sometimes even us) down. So we prevent it. But completely left to itself, nature does tend to stabilize after some period.

As for western Europe, I live in Netherlands. The nitrogen problem is entirely manmade (animal farming waste). Were we to stop ranching at such high densities and producing unnatural levels of animal waste, the nitrogen levels would not be nearly so high.

I have also lived in plant farmland areas in the south of Holland, and we have plagues of burning weed that grows. But it turns out, that plant grows in places with excess nitrogen. It feeds on it and eventually draws it out of the soil. After a few years, that "weed" stops growing and the soil nitrogen levels are more normal.

At this moment I am in central Portugal trying to grow some trees. The thorny vines (blackberry brambles I believe, but I just don't keep up with the names) are a huge problem. However, they provide benefits in dry soil because they grow very well, provide shade, provide food for foraging animals, and help prevent soil erosion when the rains finally come.

Nature doesn't seem to be concerned with human comfort. I f*cking hate the vines, but I do see their purpose.

After some years of study of permaculture and actual experiments, plus a decent amount of reading, I think our best hope as humans is to develop high efficiency vertical farms and to keep our actual earth footprint low... and to start devoping subterranian habitation.

On the last point, it's really a wonder to have a home which stays around 68F all year. Heat it up just a little and it is cosy. It is fire-proof, ultra efficient, and it can still be light with skylights and a south/west facing opening.

Honestly, for a fraction of the mental energy we spend on designing scalable software systems, we could make livable earth-friendly human food ad habitation systems. This is not rocket science; after all, primative civilizations already figured out some of these things.
No, it's not ethical in any framework I am aware of to knowingly benefit from the fruits of theft.

That said, ethics isn't boolean, and it's not as if you're murdering children by making use of this data...
As a child I was compelled to take vaccinations in order to attend school. My buddy in the military tells me he was "voluntold" to give blood for his fellow soldiers, nevermind all the vaccines they were required to take. Back then, vaccine denial was a loony left fringe thing, and now it seems to be a mainstream conservative position. Times change I suppose, but I do remember the old days.
Somebody pays eventually. We are all paying for it right now, plus interest.

Huh? The OP is accusing the US of NOT meddling. Talk about damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Cyanide is also well-known and probably inside me already and yet I wouldn't be happy with someone injecting it directly into me.

I don't really care about the specifics of what they are injecting. I am objecting to how they are pressuring people, perhaps unintentionally, in the moment to accept the injection of a substance in which the injectee admits they don't understand. It is especially ironic considering Rogan's various comments about vaccines. Thousands of doctors can tell me that the COVID vaccine is safe and I am supposed to doubt them. One nurse tells me NAD+ is safe and I am supposed to believe her.

Our country (Czechia) count covid deaths as "those who has positive PCR test after death". Which means that covid was not always cause of death. Uncle of my friend had Alzheimer's in late stadium and died last year. She was counted as covid dead. Insurance companies payed more to hospitals for covid patients, so it was profitable to make up some cases.

Our neighbors (Slovakia) count covid deaths after autopsy where covid was main reason of death.

So... Data was collected differently. Conclusions based on those data are relative.

I ask many people about how many people dead because of covid they personally know. For today, I know only one. That lead me for conclusion that I cannot trust my gonverment any more.
> its new drone, Pixy, was very underwhelming

It's an unfortunately missed opportunity.

I am completely outside their normal user base, I've literally never had a snapchat account and don't use any social media.

However, when I heard about the concept it was something I immediately wanted, I have for some time wanted a drone which could be used for very adhoc simple selfie/group pics while traveling, something with basically the exact features snap was talking about when they announced it, unfortunately, as we all know, the actual implementation fell far short. Huge miss for them I think, the market for that could have been huge if executed properly.
I also think "Cold War II" for the current situation is more fitting.

I think if there is any useful distinction between "hot" and "cold" world wars then it's most likely whether super powers are in direct military conflict with each other or whether military confrontation is "only" through proxy wars.

Note that the original cold war wasn't very "cold" for much of the world either - the only thing that didn't happen was direct millitary confrontation between the US and USSR. Nevertheless there were lots of local conflicts and proxy wars where each bloc was backing a faction.
While it wasn't a creepypasta, The Blair Witch Project tried really hard to convince movie-goers that it was found footage and wasn't a scripted movie. I think it was certainly a product of its time and a similar effort today wouldn't be nearly as successful.
Enormous Hail in Catalonia Today
> A non technical manager can know very well what's valuable to the product/company. That they don't believe their team on the value of a specific piece of technical work to enable that seems like something else is at play here (lack of trust).

Trust is a difficult commodity to build, a lot of company culture issues stem from lack of trust. It's particularly key to the manager/team relationship.

When you have a non-technical manager directly over technical teams it's particularly difficult to build trust. People, emotionally, want to have someone really understand them. Someone who doesn't, at a fundamental level, understand the actual work you're doing is going to be at a disadvantage as the work is crux of the purpose of the interaction.

Not to say that it is impossible, someone with well above average people reading and listening skills can still build that trust and get it. But it's definitely going to be more difficult than someone who really knows the turf.
"The International Monetary Fund said today that it had approved a $10.2 billion loan for Russia. The move is expected to be helpful to President Boris N. Yeltsin in the presidential election in June. The three-year loan is the fund's second biggest, after a $17.8 billion credit granted to Mexico last year."

Having to turn off "opt-in" UX widgets is not "out-out". "Opt-out" would mean you had to turn off the feature that was on by default, not remove the button or other affordance to turn it on when it is off by default.

I get your complaint, you want nothing visible to do with our opt-in, off by default crypto stuff. But calling that stuff "out-out" is misusing the phrase. It's off by default.

The New Tab Page sponsored images are non-tracking and not crypto related unless you opt into rewards, so I wouldn't lump them in here. Turn off in slider-widget control at bottom of NTP.
What do you mean, like when Clinton and the US Congress cheered Yeltsin bombing Russia's elected parliament (Duma). Then Yeltsin appointed Putin and here we are. The US has positioned Russia exactly where it wants it - it has positioned the Ukraine exactly where it wants it too.
How much? E.g. in early 1992 monthly stipend of a student - something which he could somehow survive for a month (not quite, too low, but somewhat close) was about 60 roubles. And the USD-RUR course was 100 roubles for a dollar. So a person was barely - very barely - surviving on 7 dollars 20 cents a year.

Do you know how much Russian economy costed at the time?

Where can one find the actual method used to come up with this number?

Is it the difference in tickets sold during €9 and prior to €9 * statistical distance travelled by a statistical German assuming that every surplus ticket sold was bought to substitute a car travel?

Subsequently, it would be great to have that number put in context right next to a graph showing gasoline and diesel sales in the same time period. Those were also cheaper for the same time period.
The Thirteen Colonies had a long history of democratic self governance. The revolution was mostly an independence movement. The revolutionary part was the Republican federation.

I think anything I say to you is going to generate a snarky, dismissive response, and so am opting to keep things simple.
I like writing toy servers too, but I don't get a lot of opportunities, so my latest project is a programming challenge that presents a new protocol spec every 2 weeks for people to implement, and automatically tests the implementations[0].

OP says:

> Goal: write a basic server that can handle the WS handshake and parse an incoming WS frame to see the message sent from the client

> Non-goals: writing a robust or real HTTP server, writing a fully compliant WS server, or handling all edge cases

This is a great way to get started with something that you don't yet understand. I sometimes think of it as implementing "just enough to trick people into thinking that it works".

FWIW, I think the implementation in this post has a bug whereby a client that sends half an HTTP request will block the entire server from accepting further connections, because handle_request() makes blocking calls to recv() until it has a full request, and the program can't accept new connections until handle_request() returns. That's the spirit!

That's not at all what happened between Rogan and Diaz. Diaz tells the story of the time he borderline raped a woman repeatedly to the extent she became depressed and defeated, and Rogan laughs along like it's hilarious. Diaz returned to the show afterwards and the furor about it, to the extent there was, was not raised by Rogan after the podcast, but by would-be Rogan-cancellers.

It's fine if you like and listen to Rogan. Maybe he's grown since then. I think it's less fine to pretend like bad things didn't happen, aren't bad, or that Rogan is a journalist luring his friends to hang themselves by confessing misdeeds.
