I do these as well, wonder if you happen to know competent people from the sales/marketing/product-design areas to team up with? I can build 'em but don't have time to help folks show up and take notice.
You just picked your own idea of morality and decided to elevate it above others: you chose the "anarchist non-aggression principle" as somehow morally superior to other ideas about how crimes should be defined, and decided that with that definition, targeting zero crimes makes more sense.

But the whole point is that we will never universally agree on a morality because society's overall preferences shift over time. So targeting zero crimes never makes sense.
CPUs have a strong performance bias toward sequential memory access and there are large threshold effects at work here. The block size used is not arbitrary. Improvements in prefetching and cache line utilization can have such large performance benefits that it more than justifies any apparent increase in computational cost because of how the code is organized to obtain those improvements.

Most developers do not have a good intuition for the efficiency and scalability of sequential brute-force on modern architectures. There is a cross-over threshold but I think many people would be surprised at how high it is in practice.
Lots of great feedback here, thanks for taking the time!
No, I don't think you understand. I'm not charging below market rate, I'm charging at cost. Whatever it takes to maintain the building and provide utilities, etc. The space is worth, perhaps, $2400 a month. My last tenant paid $600 a month. She needed a place to stay for a year while she built up a down payment. Being able to stay with us meant she could save tens of thousands and she was able to embark on her own.

Could I have charged $1000 and pocketed a little profit? Of course. But it would have come directly at her ability to succeed. I think that's deeply unethical. I think it's morally repugnant to profit from housing.
> brew doesn't merely make their life as a dev easier, it makes being a dev possible

Your comment made it seemed as if there was no way to develop on a Mac before homebrew, which I think is silly.

It’s just a tool. Makes your life easier but that’s it.
Exactly. Everybody seems to be throwing around the word "optimal" but not asking "optimal to whom?".

The article was kind of long-winded so I didn't read it all. But has a catchy title. So is the title about

a) Optimal amount of fraud to the society at large?

b) Optimal amount of fraud to the businesses which suffer a loss because of it?

c) Optimal amount of fraud to the customers of such businesses?

d) Optimal amount of fraud to the chief of fraud-prevention department?

e) Optimal amount of fraud to the fraudsters?
> It was no longer about serving the people that this entity was created to serve, but rather to protect the union and its contributors.

This is exactly why Milton Friedman was against unions. Unions would eventually evolve into this amalgamation that only protects the union and its contributors while disallowing other qualified workers from getting jobs at the respective companies.
This article has a section titled "how Roaring bitmaps are represented in memory". I suggest you actually read the article, it will likely answer all your questions.
I wish that car reviewers would do their job and be critical. They rarely mention how bad the modern cars are becoming.

Giving general anesthesia to babies/toddlers can be tricky, so that might be a key reason. Our two year old recently went under general anesthesia, and luckily things started going wrong early enough that they could abort and back out without doing any serious damage. Scary situation though.
I didn't go through, but have seen quite a few. It's indeed a less advertised position since it might be more common in smaller companies (less money/reach) and it might be a founding opportunity (less pay, higher risk), so it goes under the radar compared to very specialized positions.
event-driven architectures are very natural and one of the best methods of decoupling in programming.

Sometimes I wonder if people set up adverts on their own site, but use and ad-blocker themselves and have no idea what the advert script now does to their pages.
Desire for widening one's views? For understanding the world?
Maybe, but for a given machine, a O(n) algorithm will certainly be worse than O(log n), for non-trivial sizes of n. For trivial sizes, those other things will definitely dominate, and are also good to keep in mind.
I'm aware, that's what the computational theory of mind touches upon, it is not a literal interpretation of the mind as having some Von Neumann architecture.

On the other hand, I've met plenty of people who believe the brain has "processing power" that's equivalent to literal CPUs.
They don't have money at first. The ones who hit product-market fit and then want to scale quickly used to be a gold mine for good generalists though.

A few startups are run by veterans of several previous adventures who can spot when the real game is about to kick off and it's time to ramp up hiring. But almost no-one without that prior experience can hire a bigger permanent team as fast as they want to during that period of rapid growth.

Also these companies often have relatively inexperienced teams as they start to scale just because of the earlier budget limitations. They benefit from having some more experienced hands on deck for a while to stop them making dumb mistakes and help them train up their early hires who stick around and suddenly find themselves operating a level or two up the ladder as the head count grows.
Well, I find it pretty frustrating when software on my machine breaks due to namespace pollution that happened automatically and without warning. Some MSys distributions do similar things on Windows, and I find it no less agitating (To be fair, at least Homebrew doesn't generally override e.g. system utilities with GNU utilities, and is somewhat careful about it, but it nonetheless does generally require itself to be on $PATH iirc. Still, my build processes regularly pick up things like Homebrew OpenSSL completely unintentionally...)

Ignoring the security issue for a moment, though, I think it is genuinely quite irritating that Homebrew doesn't support installing in a more self-contained manner. I'm not saying Homebrew developers did anything wrong to me personally or that they are obligated to work on the problem, but the other edge of that sword is that I don't have to like it either. It can be done, as shown, but it is pretty intentional about not supporting this workflow. I think that's a bummer.

(P.S.: I honestly didn't really grasp exactly what they were complaining about, but if they are trying to enforce a setup where the only binaries in the default shell $PATH are in directories that are not world-writable, that really does seem like a totally valid security mitigation.)
For what it's worth and given there is risk in doing this, but one can work with their contacts at the payment processor to manually pin certs on both sides. There is operational risk and both sides have to be vigilant with monitoring and communication but that can be an even better assurance of transport security in some fringe PCI cases. I recall two of the major processors were open to this. No idea if they still are. I just would not put it in the internal official documented PCI or SOC1/2 controls or one would be stuck doing this. Could be useful as due diligence if legal are that nervous about the PCI environment. Maybe just documented in a JIRA or internal ticketing system.

Blocking Kiwifarms
yes, but my original comment did say don't "think" of it as a sign bit rather than don't call it that.

and one's complement is a complement, but two's complement isn't really. It does turn out that if you take the complement and add one you get the right value, but a better way to think of it (on byte scale e.g.) is "take a modulo-256 dial, now change the labeling counter clockwise from the top to negative numbers because you note that 255+1 is 0 just like -1+1 is 0". I just think this explanation serves beginning C or ASM programmers better because it's more mentally agile.

I learned it what I would call "the dumb way", but since I was amazed that it worked I studied it to convince myself it was true and then I realized what was actually going on.
I've been driving a 27-year-old Range Rover for a year. Sometimes I need to hold the ignition key close to the receiver in the rear window for it to lock. Sometimes I need to jiggle the steering lock a little for the flappy door to close and tell it the key is out, before it will lock. Sometimes I need to poke the "petrol flap" button a couple of times before the flap will open.

Sometimes the radio doesn't really get a good signal on Radio 4 and I need to press the SEEK button on the steering wheel.

The dashboard displays were fuzzy and hard-to-read, but I wiped the dust off and they were fine. They did go totally dark once when I was fiddling with the brightness control, but I turned them back on.

It has never need rebooted. It has never forgotten how to be fuelled up. It has never just turned off all its electronics at speed on the motorway. The UI doesn't show any information beyond speed, engine RPM, coolant temperature and fuel level, unless there's some sort of fault indication up.

I am really not convinced about buying a modern car.

(My last car was also a 27-year-old Range Rover, which I still have)
I know it can be worked around, it's just mystifying that it needs to be.

No one, but I expect they'd get shut down properly as necessary materials became unavailable. But even if they all went into melt down, that wouldn't make the planet completely unlivable. I was merely stating plenty of breeding populations would exist. Hostile to human life reads to me like extinction, and that seems horribly unlikely. Really bad for sure, and we really should start being smarter now to avoid that (we won't, but we should).
Oh shit, that's terrible. I was hoping to talk to him again.

Today’s filesystems are more like the NoSQL equivalent of hierarchical databases, which were the very first database design, created in the 1960s, preceding RDBMSs.

The IRS does not, in fact, accept donations.

But the point is that I believe we should all chip in more to help each other out. If you make, eg, $750k a year like I do an increase in taxes isn't really going to hurt your ability to live comfortably. I'm confident I could travel anywhere in the world, buy a second home, etc. I could still do those things if I payed more in taxes. Just... Not as often.
-> "crossed the six figure threshold" likely refers to salary. this is pretty easy to estimate based on title if the person works at a large, well-known company.

You're right. I appreciate the correction. I didn't think of that as referring to the salary.
Not to mention that enforcement has rapidly diminishing returns. Even if your only goal was to maximize tax revenue (minus cost of tax administration), and you didn't care at all about people being able to take advantage of deductions, the optimal amount of fraud is almost certainly non-zero.

(And of course, if you did want to maximize tax revenue, you'd focus enforcement on the big fish.)

Only if the wood is properly earthed!
along the lines of the d&d spreadsheet, I've developed an entire app for running scrabble tournaments as an elaborate google sheets script. it's a couple of thousand lines of javascript for the logic, but the user interface is entirely a bunch of spreadsheet tabs.

I'm currently rewriting it as a standalone web app just to break the dependence on google, and have a more customisable user experience, but it's really hard to beat the spreadsheet UX, where settings are all done using editable tables and the output shows up in another table.
Trees are a temporary store of carbon. When they die and rot, the carbon is re-released. (Turning them into building materials makes this overall process take longer, of course.)

The people writing Firefly are trying to support OTP on WASM. Because the WASM runtime have different characteristics and guarantees from BEAM, and they don’t want to run BEAM inside WASM, they created an alternate runtime. There was at least one instance where Dockyard proposed and implemented changes to the WASM spec itself in order to support Elixir/Erlang/OTP in WASM.

That isn't true at all. The history of the planet is marked by rapid, repeated changes in the climate. The climate is going to change - drastically - just like it has for the entire history of the earth. We should understand that our activity has an influence but it is not the only factor or the dominant one.

In my experience, no one is forced to use JetBrains, but there are innumerable work setups that mandate Windows and thus a lot of the Microsoft tooling that implies

It's also hard to distinguish from outside of that ecosystem how much Microsoft is pretending to play developer advocate in pursuit of the infamous E.E.E. strategy versus PR damage control versus they really do want to ship good dev tooling. I bring that up because if one is afraid of JetBrains morphing into Microsoft, that question brings up "what is Microsoft's motivation" in order to compare how much JetBrains would, or aims to, have those same motivations.

I'm thrilled out of my mind to pay JetBrains the $whatever/year they ask of me because I unquestionably get that much value out of them. And that's not even counting the amount of benefit I get from being able to fix bugs in IJ Community and PyCharm Community due to them being Open. That leads me to believe JetBrains Browser, JetBrains Office, and JetBrains OS are likely quite a ways off because they have plenty of healthy marketshare as it is
That's at the crux of the computational theory of mind, for which there are plenty of proponents and critics.

That is simply not how it works. The bits came from Cloudflare.
So long as the SEIU is around, I'll probably be in the second bucket. I get the theory of why unions can be beneficial, but the reality of the way they are structured in the US is fundamentally flawed.

Frankly, anyone who raids PCA funds the way they do is evil, plain and simple.

Any recommendation? Vynase, Dexedrine, etc?
I read the beginning as "the commercial threat to Cloudflare from continuing to host Kiwifarms."

That said, they should've done it a while ago.

While position tracking is important, what I was talking about was the user's sense of proprioception. Seems to me that too much attention has been given to tuning the visual response to the user turning their head or looking up and down, or turning around, and little to no attention being given to attenuating the user's sense of proprioception, to reenforcing the feeling that the virtual body parts are an integral part of the user's actual real-world body.

I can agree with this, definitely. I still don't think that it's that easy to start a semiconductor company for the average person considering the requisite expertise and scale of capital necessary. However, outside of the basic accounting, it's not really my area of expertise.

It might sound unrelated, but many years ago I moved to Europe, coming from a South American country. Having spent many years "at home", I never bothered much with how we looked like, physical features that you could say stereotypical. But then I moved to Europe, and suddenly I could spot people from my country from miles away. After years and many places travelled, I still cannot describe in words what we look like, but I know it when I see. It's a gut feeling.

At least with the photorealistic prompts, there is always this feeling of "this doesn't look right". Right now it's easy to pinpoint what it is. Usually is a completed distorted face. But they might get better at this. But probably there will always be that "uneasy feeling".

> Spending $100K to avoid a loss of $500 is something most sane businesses will not do, but to government this makes perfect sense, because they have a rule that the acceptable amount of fraud is zero.

In short: no. That's the perception but is not correct, at least security risks.

So since you mentioned SLS (you mean CMS and healthcare.gov maybe? Hello from a friend of people who made those things) I assume you mean US government. Now I totally agree that is perceived. Few parts of risk management are mandated at least in terms of the infosec side of the fence with risk management beyond what is in law (FISMA and thus Risk Management Fraework made to address it as a req). The NIST RMF (SP 800-37 and SP 800-53) is very flexible and without even mentioning quantitative methods in those documents would inherently be at odds with your example; it is the opposite of risk management. But I do agree USG staff and contractors perpetuate this fallacy when provided the checklists of high-level recommendations and don't bother reading 800-37 at all, which explains the rationale strategy and approach that explain this example you give is bad and for good reason. They essentially document that not all systems get the same breadth and depth of security across govt in all agencies and projects equally for this reason. It doesn't scale or make sense.

Sorry for the rant. I have it once a week with friends in public and private sector and the perception is true and may happen but the docs and the people who wrote them (also friends) can tell you that is very much the opposite of what's recommended by NIST and those upstream guidelines are those derived from law.

>Kiwifarms itself will most likely find other infrastructure that allows them to come back online, as the Daily Stormer and 8chan did themselves after we terminated them. And, even if they don't, the individuals that used the site to increasingly terrorize will feel even more isolated and attacked and may lash out further. There is real risk that by taking this action today we may have further heightened the emergency.

Yeah no shit, of course this is going to happen. It's clearly just a way to save face from Cloudflare - though they definitely needed to do it as this problem was never going to go away for them if they didn't. The entire point of the internet is to be uncensorable, and that's not going to change with them dropping KiwiFarms. As terrible of a website as it is, it's just going to come back up with a provider that has even lower moral standards than Cloudflare.
Well, they store content from the website, and send it over their network to consumers in response to requests.
They are a cache, not some load balancer. To anyone visiting their site, the difference is immaterial (otherwise, why would it even matter).
I have no idea whether there is a pea under my mattress. How would I notice?
Not just the software, so many cars don't even have a functional touchscreen while requiring use of it for many core features. Hyundai for example like to use really low quality touch screens that are even slower than my old Nokia's resistive display. What is the point of pan-and-zoom in a GPS maps app if the screen can barely keep up in real-time?
I suspect a lot of foreign aid is actually used to stabilize parts of the world so they don't turn into hotspots for things like terrorism. Not that there isn't a wish to improve the lives of others, but it is easier and cheaper to maintain the status quo.
Kiwifarms is a site that is implicated in several deaths, several swattings, and had knowingly hosted videos of, for example, the Christchurch shooting.

It is a hotbed for stochastic terrorism. It should be welcome to exist online, but Cloudflare providing it protection undermines Cloudflare's own reputation.
