Sample project I co-founded — https://movieo.me/
Hard to believe that people honestly use that poem in situations like this. The poem was about not resisting virulent bigotry enough. It isn't about platforming bigots.
No, often very small subset of resources become the limit not every single resource. Irrigation can work on land, but kelp don’t have that problem. Conversely on land iron is abundant but at sea it’s a limited resource.

Prey population density declines predictors need to expend more energy to get a meal, this space is frequently the limiting factor for prey species not the availability of food or water.
Well, people have been arguing that monopolies benefit consumers for literally decades now. The world has gone mad a long time ago.
Can metal detector detect a gram of Silicon(except transistor I think there are non metallic replacement for everything)? Also, many players bring their own beverage in their container. Seems pretty steep to ban everything for a small minority of cheater.
I'm only going to add a related anecdote that wasn't a failing of ECC vs non-ECC but rather of BIOS behavior.

Background: Lenovo Thinkpad T520 laptop, random crashes and data corruption.

Diagnosis: Eventually let memtestx86+ run a bunch of times for like a week and it wasn't showing any errors. Finally about to give up I pressed some key on the keyboard and it blew errors immediately all over the screen. This suggested EC or maybe some BIOS-controlled keyboard driver was writing to memory it shouldn't have been.

Fix: I am a Linux user, the kernel has an option to reserve low memory for poorly behaving BIOS that likes to write where it shouldn't. CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW should be set to at least 64kb and increased up to 640kb if this issues continue to happen. There are some other options to scan for this misbehavior but I honestly don't know how Linux currently handles it: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/11/683
Then perhaps it is different in that South Asian nations don’t seem themselves as successors to Britain, whereas many peoples the Romans conquered claimed their imperial mantle as legitimacy.
Very nice and ambitious project. Did you compare vs Dramatiq? It was created to overcome same shortcomings of Celery.
Just because there are a lot of options, doesn't make something complicated. Hosting a static site - arguably the simplest kind of site - could be easily done with any of the options listed and derided at the start of the article.
Yeah I went with Netlify for my static site because I have zero desire to ever been an IT admin.

I do skip the static generator part and go with artisinally hand crafted HTML/CSS/JS instead. It’s radically simpler and ultimately better imho.
I don't know how this exactly fits, but you can do crazy stuff like query a SQL db in the compiler to check your Racket program for auto generated variable names. This extends the editor tooling to highlight names which don't match to columns in the DB tables.

I wrote a post about this here[1]

"Hey, remember how we left up that hate website" isn't going to convince any authoritarian regime to treat gay people with respect. The history of oppression is littered with examples of legal protections simply not being granted to oppressed groups and I'd fully expect such an authority to just continue on crushing gay people beneath its heel regardless of how KF was dealt with.
That was part of the sales pitch. The main reasons were to improve travel speed into and between cities, and to open up much
more land for development.
We would have been in a much better position if nuclear and fossil fuel interests hadn't been rabidly anti-renewable either because we could have started the transition 20-30 year earlier.
> Despite the common public perception of the patch existing as giant islands of floating garbage, its low density (4 particles per cubic metre (3.1/cu yd)) prevents detection by satellite imagery, or even by casual boaters or divers in the area.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_garbage_patch
Plenty of us remember. We also don't believe that protecting KF is in any way going to prevent those sorts of threats against the speech and association of queer groups online.
Can a computer small enough to contain a chess engine be fitted into one gram?

The players beverages would also have to be taken out of their original container and transferred into a tournament-provided container.
I was initially excited when Dramatiq was released, but I think the GNU license prohibits using it for commercial projects?

Also, I really wanted something simple and easy to maintain after working around so many bugs. Dramatiq isn't as complicated as Celery but it still has features I don't need.
As a counterweight, the first few chapters of Patterns of Software (not the GoF book but Richard Gabriel's https://dreamsongs.com/Files/PatternsOfSoftware.pdf) constitute the #3 most profound piece of writing on software I've ever read.
> you can chdir to the directory before bind/connect

Since working directory is per-process not per-thread, this seems a great way to introduce race condition bugs. It also basically rules it out for anything meant to be used as a library or framework.
My rate for private health insurance in Germany is nearly 9.6k EUR/yr, not including family.

This is a contract so terms can vary. Here: zero deductible, vision and dental included, international coverage including US. Includes a savings-like provision required by law. It is designed to keep rates affordable over time.
> Cloudflare tried to stay in its lane, but it was dragged out of it by the Twitter mob.

That's bullshit. Cloudflare removed the sex worker-friendly social media network Switter over NO complaints or likewise.

Cloudflare seems eagerly anti-sexwork and pro nazi. Except when the whole internet comes out and says "NO".

Cloudflare can play pretend that it's some "core functionality" of the internet, but their core business is "safeguarding booters to DDoS sites" while they provide the DDoS cover as a business racket. One might even describe it as "organized"
It doesn't? However, it may be significant to store a checksum of the lossy bitstream?
A couple jerry cans in your vehicle is hardly a "stockpile." And also not a great idea.
Ignoring the lines (and any cheat at this level would be canny enough to avoid the top few engine moves), there's something seriously off about Niemann's analysis - shallowness and incoherence covered over with bluster. Even Ramirez seemed disdainful of his reasoning about his position against Firoujia tonight.

It's pretty grim for him if he really didn't cheat. He won't be invited to a tournament involving Magnus again.
Not mentioning S3 here seems weird
It’s LGPL, which is usually fine if you’re just using it as-is.
It’s interesting history and good analysis but the whole framing just seems ill-conceived. “Business operational lessons from the great bloodthirsty marauders of history” works as a parody or when you’re intentionally edgy (as with War Nerd), here it’s reads as tone-deaf.
This sounds like what is already done for some Go/Baduk tournaments. And cameras are only allowed at the beginning and end of matches.

> Why not do the following https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/tag-manager/serve...

I could say that we do that at a high level, but as SaaS for our clients. You can't expect the average person to set up and manage 3 servers (HA) on GCP to get everything running.

> The only way to really achieve this is running analytics through the same domain the users are visiting, best as a path. I suspect this is where the market will go if ad blockers become to pervasive

That's right.
What are the other top ones?
And the end of the day they’ll be back up on a new provider, and all this noise in the media will have done nothing but strengthen their position via the Streissand effect.
Of course corporations would crush queer people if it made them money. But defending KF won't change that one bit. The error is assuming that the people who'd treat gay people so badly would be swayed one bit by "well, we didn't get cloudflare to take down that forum full of bigots."
Sure. Just like all the other Palestinians killed before her.
Jordan peterson made a video a few weeks ago talking about the importance of lifting poverty in context of global climate change. Super interesting

LOL, chump change to the real game. Regulatory capture gets another example.
> Seems to me this was more a problem with Teslas build quality or design, because the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT have a two speed gearbox

Actually, Tesla outsourced the transmission, first to Bosch then to Borg-Warner. Apparently neither of them could design and build a suitable gearbox.
My bootstrapped SaaS was acquired for $800k
Step outside of your neurotypical, able-bodied bubble and you will find out who cares.
It’s absolutely dreadful and I think this behavior is shameful on the part of Amazon. What’s the point of a review system if you’re going to game it. Reviews mean nothing anymore

+1. I've a web-interactive side project, exploring whether color might be less badly taught K-primary, by emphasizing spectra. With intent to illustrate, and search for community around, a content creation philosophy of vastly vastly greater-than-usual domain expertise being necessary to create non-wretched content. So for instance, crafting a not-entirely-bogus perceptual color space with nice pedagogic properties, for the "color wheel" niche, and properly and accessibly and interactively integrating it with spectra. Most color content and sites... even by the so low standards of science education content, they're not strongly coupled with reality. This site however is pretty good.
Even without the vulnerability in the OP, card testing is a real problem, and will remain a real problem for anyone relying on credit card payments without some form of one time passcode verification: It's just way too profitable, but banks in the US don't seem to want to add the necessary friction.

A secondary problem is that ultimately those taking payments end up having to either track you, or side with someone that does, as a way to try to detect suspicious activity. Whether it's Stripe directly, or Google via reCaptcha, someone is going to have to be peering into the metadata of your transaction to try to figure out if it's really you that is calling, or it's a fraudster. And when the store gives that traffic to Google, they aren't just going to use it to make sure you are who you say you are.

It's really unfortunate that the card issuers are the ones that can fix the problem, while in practice, it's companies further down the line that are paying for this in fraud and fraud detection spend.
I agree that, for a national release, it is relatively obscure.

I think my aversion to it is due to Ralph Fiennes' and Juliet Lewis' character portrayals. I would consider myself a fan of both, and I'm not saying they didn't act well. I am saying these characters should never have been created, as one is disturbingly nervous, the other disturbingly nasty.
Thank you for correcting me. I was 10 to 20 years off. By all means, feel free to keep talking about design patterns for another 10 to 20 years then ;)
> instead created industries that were propped up on instable economics

Ah, perhaps then it is appropriate to praise them in tech startup related spaces.
How to discover new cloud computing products
Hello All

Besides the cloud provider's marketplace, what are some places that one can peruse the latest 3-party cloud product offerings (new dbs, observability tools, etc) out there?

Thanks!
It also actively undermines other people's ability to parent.

My parents made the active parenting decision to expose us to things and stress the value of information. We never had our media/internet consumption censored (hell, I remember sitting on my dad's lap and playing a DOOM mod where we shot Barney and yet it was the Grue from Zork who terrified me), but we were also taught the difference between real life and fiction, that it was okay to not like or feel comfortable with things and stop playing/reading/watching them, and to never uncritically believe anybody.

Whatever you think of my upbringing, it was a choice my parents made because they thought it was best. Plus different children can handle different things. It's very Harrison Bergeronesque to censor everyone for the sake of the few.
You probably can store hashes in MKV, not sure if there is a dedicated field for that.

I want something like that for JPG, with parity.
I suppose there's a kernel of truth there, but it's easy to say that when your goal is to make a system that is basically too simple for any practical purpose.

A lot of the complexity of modern software is reflective of the complexity of modern hardware. I know that TempleOS is picky and only operates on a subset of simpler PC hardware.

I think if one's goal was to make a simple computing environment for beginners, something like BASIC256 [0] or TI-BASIC will accomplish that better than TempleOS in a virtual machine. It certainly did the trick for me.

Quick question: Why wouldn't I use my free tier registrar DNS? Are there really that man DNS queries serviced cause you pay based off the number of responses? Especially if they are stupid domains.
Alireza was able to speak accurately and in depth in his post game interviews along the way. Niemann doesn't seem able to do this.
> Why [gender, race, and ethnicity] specifically?

I suspect that companies are already required to collect this information, so the extra burden from this law is mostly around how to report it.
Yes, but iirc the suicide note doesn't claim that the KF thread was leading to ongoing direct harassment that motivated the (alleged) suicide. Just that the mere existence of the thread played a role. So we're back to "if someone has a KiwiFarms thread and kills themselves, then KiwiFarms is to blame".
I see — the goalposts don’t exist. If there’s an eyewitness account, they could be lying. If there’s a screenshot of a deleted post, it could be fabricated. If it’s an active post, well, how do we know it’s not a fake post by someone trying to make Kiwi Farms look bad?
#1: Peter Naur, "Programming as Theory-Building", http://akkartik.name/naur.pdf

#2: Christopher Alexander, "Notes on the Synthesis of Form" which is also mentioned in OP, and which I read based on the mentions in Patterns of Software. So that's another thing to thank #3 for.
Maybe I should have used Dramatiq instead of building my own, but it's already done. I'm surprised how well WakaQ is working in production actually. If any issues come up they should be faster to fix than making PRs to Dramatiq.
As crazy as it sounds 2.5hr of exercise per week is not a crazy expectation to care for one’s health.
I wouldn't call the passing of SESTA/FOSTA "no complaints or likewise". In that specific instance, you can very much put the blame on lawmakers being more anti-sexwork than anti-nazis, if you want to frame it that way.
iMDB said they deleted all negative reviews. That was yesterday. Today they announced the ban on all new reviews.

It's a feature not a bug.
How do you use captchas when the requests are not even coming from your site as the article indicated?

It seems odd this is even possible, does stripe not allow you to register an ip whitelist for token generation etc so that at least part of the payment process must go through your site?

It seems like stripe rate limiting is just on the api level, so you would need to implement your own ip based rate limiter on you site, if you could force part of the process to go through it.
> Why carry it around on portable device?

Well, because you're carrying the portable device around anyway. And it doesn't require a network connection, so it works even when you have no cell coverage.

I don't quite understand how your "streaming it this way on the go" worked?

Thank you for helping me learn a new HVAC term!

The appeals process is what determines that it's child porn.

Also, not all of the things described even count as "forced to keep serving child porn". For instance, civil liability for acting on false reports doesn't force Facebook to keep serving child porn.
> the cloud operator, given that all of the above choices are self-hosted (or at least require some system administration skills), would immediately go for a hosted solution like CloudFlare Pages, Netlify, Vercel, or one of the source code hosting sites that also have static site hosting solutions like SourceHut pages or GitHub pages;

i think of myself as a graybeard (in the article's parlance; i find the term exclusionary) and i use cloudflare in front of github pages. every year i've spent as this craft has seen me accumulate more than a year's worth of new things i'd like to program or learn, 30 years in the list is very long. spending my time and energy doing IT for a static web site is a major waste
I built something similar for a personal project (though not using the FUSE API) with Samba running locally. Samba has a VFS API which isn’t terrible complicated and lets you accomplish mostly the same thing: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Writing_a_Samba_VFS_Module

The only problem I ran into was not being able to bind to 127.0.0.1:445, or connect to a different port, on Windows. I ended up writing a small pcap program that would look for packets going out to some other ip and replay them back at localhost on the port samba was running on, so Windows thought it was connecting to a remote machine. It was a ridiculous solution and I’m sure there’s a better way, but it worked for what I needed.
Are people on assistance not allowed to sue people?

The narrative is obviously "those idiot leftists on the dole don't have jobs and waste their time and money on this." The causal relationship is critical to the narrative.
Hey apologies, I just enabled EthicalAds this week, I'll look into this and add something... I'll also forward your concern to them.
That is insane. The CC issuers should force them to do that.
"Contrary to popular belief, Kanban cards do not refer to the cards (or post-its) on the Kanban board. Instead, they refer to cards that folks in one segment of the manufacturing process would send to the previous segment to indicate they’re ready to receive more work"

The wikipedia link that you provided doesn't say this. It says:

"The kanban card is, in effect, a message that signals a depletion of product, parts, or inventory"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban#Kanban_(cards)

Which is quite different. The card is sent from the people who need the work to the people who deliver the work and not the other way around like you claim.
Ask HN: Where do you host your CSS files?
We currently have a web app hosted on the cloud. The HTTP server does server-side rendering, including serving up static CSS and SVG files.

For reasons, the web server framework doesn't support
caching out-of-the-box and we hand-roll our own.

I thought we might as well complexify our deployment step instead and reap some performance benefits. Immediately, I thought to use Amazon S3 for the CSS files. Does any one else do this? Is there something lower latency than S3?
Sure, sounds good. You don't have any contact information on your profile, though :p
Right? And may I say, if you’re using any Meta products you’re complicit in this continuing harm of children.
while I admit I'm being a little loose in what would translate where in this hypothetical, none of it seems so easily cut out.
I visit some "non mainstream" D&D forums. I'm pretty sure I've seen the n-word written zero times there. Not a single forum avatar is a swastika. I'd be cautious about elevating KF to the level of "every other site that isn't mainstream."
You keep repeating the same points so I'm moving on.
Would suggest using webhooks to customize and trigger alerts (https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks), or turning on payment notifications (https://support.stripe.com/questions/set-up-account-email-no...).

But the best way to prevent this is to absolutely make sure secret keys are kept secret! We try to scour for leaks in the wild—and notify the owner directly—but can’t see everything.
What does 'life sentence' mean to a terminally ill cancer patient who has been fucked over by the system their entire life and is outraged by the latest instance of unpunished police brutality in their community?

Sooner or later someone is gonna say fuck it and take out a cop on paid leave with a drone. When that starts to happen enough law enforcement will have to make a tough call because maybe their members will be safer in jail after they've committed crimes instead of walking free on the streets.

Keeping up KF isn't going to stop Putin.
To some extent, but "I haven't even looked" is a very tepid defense.
