> Do we need better education and mental health care so that fewer people are attracted to a sociopathic forum like Kiwi Farms? Yes. That too

I think another part of this is the extreme censorship of discussion going on currently.

All social media is governed by American leftist view, which definitely doesn't to apply to the entire country let alone the whole world.

A lot of political movements that California supports basically have their oppositions completly blocked for promoting "hate", you are forced to accept it, and there is no way to say no, because you will just get banned.

and that basically leads people to go to alternative networks that because they are compromised of people banned from mainstream social networks, end up being an extremest cesspol.

> The rest of society — including the government and law enforcement — seems unwilling to do anything, so the next in line is Cloudflare. That’s not a great situation, but it’s reality. And reality sometimes makes principles difficult. Especially when lives are at stake.

But how do you force the government to act? Things need to get heated to the level they have to actually intervene, other than that nothing will change.

On the other hand, if tech companies want the government to act, then things like the Indian regime banning certain Twitter accounts isn't unexpected, and they will try to ban anyone exposing their treatment of Muslims.

I'm going to reiterate this

This seems like a fairly comprehensive answer: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/fonts-faq/part2/

"First, the short answer in the USA: Typefaces are not copyrightable; bitmapped fonts are not copyrightable, but scalable fonts are copyrightable. Authorities for these conclusions follow."
Strange use case, they mostly run web apps yet also need Crustini. Probably could have saved money and avoided being one bit flip away from Google perma-ban.

What about the incentive for non profit hospitals to grow so that they can better compensate leadership, resulting in capital that must be spent on facilities and equipment to retain non profit status. Leading to a spiral?

It is hard to compare details of the systems and outcomes across countries, but surely we can find where the money apent ends up? Construction firms? Doctors? Equipment manufacturers? Hospital administration?
Many stations aren’t busy, but some people wait in line for Costco prices.
> Rust is still in a research phase. People are still figuring out how to do certain very basic stuff without a garbage collector. See e.g. how long it has been taking to get a decent GUI library with callback functions that can be closures that reference external parts of data.

Are Golang, Ruby, Python et al still in the "research phase"? After all, none of them have native GUI frameworks written in them yet.

That said, you're moving the goalposts. The entire premise of my original reply was objecting to your claim that Rust paints you into a corner should you need a non-tree-like data structure. Which is absolutely ridiculous, there are countless examples of self-referential datastructures written in Rust. They use unsafe, which is what it's there for.
THIS is a chance to build a start-up.

Amazing! I was looking to experiment in the voxel space and I will check out the API!

For someone naive to making games with voxel's, are there any resources that you would recommend (rendering, mathematics, ...)? My thought was to look at resources similar to how Noita simulated their pixels (GDC talks) and attempt to scale that into 3D.

Yes, I am definitely suggesting wolves (not "wolfs") did not build ships or airplanes and migrate around the world in an astonishingly short amount of time. They migrated slowly, on foot, as they were able to by following food sources, and using land bridges since wolves can't cross oceans.

Same goes for viruses (I'll give you a pass on that one, it's more accepted now than "virii"): they don't float across oceans in a week, unless they're carried by birds (which most aren't).
Both centralized and decentralized systems can have a central authority. All of the examples above have one or more of such authorities. The fundamental premise of a blockchain is antithetical to this
Afaict this allows you to retain the one-way data model that makes react easy to reason about. This is simply one way to handle your data model (vs "useState", for example). You'd have actions that update the signals (they seem more or less to be streams), and then your components are pure functions of the signal data.

csv is many times over again a simpler format than sqlite and easier to understand by anyone across the world.

Never heard of ndjson, can’t see one publishing this data in a format that isn’t nearly as common as something like csv (or regular json which some of the data is published in).
One of the main value adds of an open ISA + open reference implementations Chisel/Chipyard + access to RTL (I think?) is that LOTS of people are hungry for really good multi-core out-of-order CPU pipelines with super-stringent levels of provable correctness. I think the tooling ecosystem is on the right track in terms of providing a FOSS toolchain that supports this. It's not there yet, but you're average ECE master's student could probably teach themselves chipyard and start their own Rocket fork which is much easier to test/verify at the basic-block level than a lot of other tooling I've used.
For the same price, I’m sure you could get a better pc with Ubuntu and run all the Google crap you want.

And you wouldn’t need to fiddle with weird intermediate stuff like crustini.
This is neat. Some text that describes how this was made would be useful. Also the mute button doesn't work.
Vertical farming, it's a great way to grow food for the masses without having to clear land. It reduces the water and fuel needed to feed a city.
Transdermal delivery(through skin) of vitamins and other substances/medications. I’ve been using various products since 2017 and they work. No need for needle injections or large pills.
This "data dump" is step 2 of 4 to deliver "on President Trump’s executive order on Improving Price and Quality Transparency in American Healthcare to Put Patients First."(1)

By January 1, 2023, plans and issuers must make price comparison information available with respect to an initial list of 500 identified items and services. By January 1, 2024, plans and issuers must make price comparison information available with respect to all covered items and services. This information must be made available through an internet-based self-service tool and in paper form, upon request. Typically, consumers receive an Explanation of Benefits after receiving care, which details the prices charged by the provider, the plan’s contracted or negotiated rates, consumer cost-sharing obligations, and other information. Consumers will have access to this type of information before receiving care and can use it to compare prices and better estimate potential out-of-pocket costs.(2)

>We do not know if and I bet plenty of people do not believe such negative energy really exists.

Plenty of people believe that mental problems are all caused by disembodied souls unleashed by Xenu of the Galactic Confederation when he blew them up with A-bombs in Hawaii, back when Earth was called Teegeeack.

What "plenty of people" believe is not important.

This is why I love that PostgreSQL backup files are plain text files. It is so easy to extract a single table (or parts of a table) using a simple perl/python/whatever script.
The man just wants to make MMOs but accidentally keeps creating billion dollar companies!
This is super cool, and a great way to implement it - hard - but will make adoption much easier than if it had to be implemented, or installed, etc.

1) Effectively no. I don’t think they even care anymore.

2) Rich people had more power under POW—miners aren’t cheap. What matters is the enforcement mechanism. Slashing remains a risk to every validator regardless of stake weight.
Huge population growth without corresponding new home growth.
The judge claims that this is not a serious threat to the basic operation of our financial system because this case is "special" in two ways - the business visa was providing monetary services to had been accused of wrongdoing in a news article, and was so seriously concerned about visa pulling it's payment processing that it would take drastic measures to get them back. I do not see how either point is in any ways special. Any company can be accused by private journalists of wrongdoing, and an extremely large fraction of companies probably are guilty of some wrongdoing at some point or another, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find any company engaged in commerce which didn't care if a payment processor on the scale of visa stopped recognizing them. So by that logic, anyone who can allege wrongdoing by a company that has payments processed has standing to sue payment processors as well.

> It is simply being asked to refrain from offering the tool with which a known alleged criminal entity performs its crimes. That is not a tall order and does not spell out an existential threat to the financial industry.

In a society where innocence is presumed, "known alleged criminal entity" is an oxymoron as far as the law is concerned. If anyone can be an alleged criminal entity, how could this not be an existential threat?
Not the parent, but Amazon should be blamed because (1) it's not optional (opt-in would be fine), (2) it breaks the customer experience (these emails are now just complete useless noise), and (3) it broke useful services.
Not the person you commented to, but I think the only real loss was 1Password Mini. There is the alternate ‘search bar’ mini app which is a decent replacement, I wish that was the one that pops up by default (like used to be with Mini).

You guys make a great product otherwise. It’s the only one where I strongly recommend it over the open source alternative (Bitwarden) even though I have a strong open source bias. There’s just a 1000 things in UI and UX that you guys do slightly better than the competition, sort of an inverse death by a thousand cuts.
Going from 2016 to today (2022) is three more doublings, which would be 64GB of RAM -- and that is an available configuration in laptops such as the XPS 17 or the MacBook Pro. That's not even considering desktops (which can handle 128GB) or workstations (which can reach terabytes).

If anything will cause them to clean up their act, it will be this. I guess we will see.
About 90% of Americans have medical insurance. Coverage caps were eliminated years ago, and the out-of-pocket maximum is low enough that the medical expenses from a single incident are unlikely to drive middle class people to bankruptcy.

Where bankruptcy becomes an issue is when a medical condition leaves someone unable to work for months. With no income they can burn through savings and credit quickly. Then when they file for bankruptcy of course they have some medical debts, but those medical debts are typically not the primary cause of the bankruptcy and even if the medical debts were eliminated they would still be insolvent.
I can’t read the full article, but interesting that Zoom fell so much.

I still use Zoom and everyone around me does too, at least in my bubble it seems like it’s still the de-facto videoconference app.

But one issue I see is that they can’t really make money. Everyone uses Zoom for free and there doesn’t seem to be ads or intentional latency notable paid benefits anything like that. Which is a good thing but if free tier really is the issue those things may come soon…
I tend to dislike these sorts of ligatures because they obscure the underlying text that was typed. I would much prefer programming languages supported characters like "≠" or "≡" as aliases for operators.
My experience with these online-legal services is very poor. The lawyers don’t care and provide very minimal, sloppy work, and there’s little you can do about it.
Don't you need an external source of heat for a heat pump? They move heat from one place to another, rather than generate heat directly, so all you would be doing is moving existing heat, and then converting that into electricity, but we can already do that without the heat pump.
I still tell people that I'm double clickin' on my mizouse.
Ask HN: Should I pivot away from writing software?
I've been writing code for longer than I'd like to admit, but never professionally - if we exclude a couple of miserably paid gigs on freelancing websites. Frankly, I had to choose a career back then. Since I heard programming was lucrative and a golden ticket to living abroad, it looked like a no-brainer. I spent years working on my projects, reading technical books, and doing mathematics. However, I don't think I ever truly fell in love with all that. I mean, it's okay, but I've done more amusing things (which I shouldn't have) that now cloud my reasoning. Anyway, I've given it a shot.

I think I like other things better, like law or languages. For example, I enjoy listening to someone speak, e.g. Greek or Spanish. Unlike programming, I know I'd be good at this. I know I wouldn't make the same mistakes I made when studying software engineering and computer science. But, there are very few options for a language person - you can be a translator/interpreter, a writer, or a teacher - none of which fit my description of a good job. The other issue is that I'm knees deep in software engineering, and there is a "sunk cost fallacy" moment. I don't know; maybe things would change for the better if I had a real job that pays real money. I keep hearing that you need to love what you do professionally; otherwise, you will have a bad time doing it. This isn't very encouraging because, after numerous thorough self-investigations, I can say that programming barely qualifies as an "ok" thing to do.
Low end chromebooks have 4gb, but they pretty much count as thin clients. :)
Sounds like the thing Atlassian had to build while on fire this year.
He talked a lot about how he uses the Chromebox, but not really at all about WHY he uses one which for me is the interesting part.

Like, why? Really? Couldn't you just use Ubuntu, Mint, Elementary, Windows, macOS or {another_os_name}? If you're running Crostini why not use the damn OS you actually want to use? I just don't get it, really. But to each their own. Also, to be fair Chrome os very simple and snappy on better machines, probably very safe too, however a privacy nightmare.
I could be wrong, but I think back in the day the computer monitor was the whole system for debugging and viewing the state of a running computer (which is why the debugger on an Apple II is called a monitor, for example) but now we just use it to mean the physical screen.
One-way or two-way binding is pretty much completely orthogonal. You can have both approaches in both systems. For instance Solid is pretty close to React in unidirectional flow and read/write segregation.

I think the appeal of a reactivity system is different, for some people is better performance, for others it may be better memory usage, for others it may be better DX as a bunch of "workarounds" stop being needed (like dependencies arrays, rules of hooks, useRef, useEvent...), for others it's just simpler to understand and reason about.

Yeah, I’d rather these characters be implemented in-editor by replacing != with ≠
So basically bookmarks and history devolved into tabs for people? I do notice the difference between my Firefox installation (with 'live downloaded' search suggestions disabled), where I mostly can pull anything I want from the past, and the times when I have to use Chrome, which at least by default makes it difficult to recall a page visited even a moment ago. (Yes, technically you have history hidden in menus.) I would dread living that in normal browsing.

Heat pumps move heat from one place to another. They pump the heat. That is how they achieve 300% returns, they move 300% of the heat energy that they consume to operate.

But that heat isn’t free. It has to be produced somewhere. You must “consume” the heat to produce electricity.

If you tried to generate power in the way you postulated, you would ignore the 300% number and instead look at the conversion rate between the energy it takes to produce that heat and the energy output.
You can use Solid without any build tooling (with some caveats). I’m surprised Rollup is prominent at all on the site. The preferred tooling for Solid is its custom Babel plugin, but you can skip it and use hyperscript or html tagged templates. From what I’ve seen on GitHub they’re generally moving towards recommending Vite and their Vite starter is as simple as you can get (far simpler than ESBuild projects I maintain, there isn’t even a need for config or CLI flags or anything), but there’s an ESBuild plugin available. Ultimately all current solutions just wrap the Babel plugin in some form.
If you're religious about locking your phone/PC then you probably don't have anything to worry about otherwise someone could easily just see what you have going on in your browser
I remember the old setup - buy or build a PC, and a year or two later max the RAM (for significantly less now) and get another year or two out of it.

Then for awhile you could use SSDs to do the same thing.

But now it’s all laptops as far as the eye can see, with soldered RAM.
How did it achieve nothing? Deplatforming has shown to be effective. The Nazi site that CF shut down is very difficult to access.

I somewhat agree, but I've bent Excel to do things that aren't "excel thinking" for literally decades.

Reshaping is something could have used many times in the past. I used to pull data into PERL first to reshape it but that took a bit of code, then I learned about numpy doing it in one line. But I still have to import back into Excel. The fact that it is in there now is useful to me.

I 1000% agree with your matlab retval suggestion however. I hate how Excel fudges array return values by just blasting a range of cells one time!

My excel knowledge has been somewhat stagnant in the past decade. Have they added an ARRAYFUNC() like in Google Sheets, or do I still need to hit "ctrl-shift-enter" to designate one?

Yeah. We also need to discourage this 'centralize everything' [0] nonsense and going all in on GitHub services as well.

At this point, it seems that GitHub is even more unreliable than a self-hosted solution.

Should we apply the same sort of "stupid X law" to people who drink alcohol or drive motorcycles or play rugby? This is one of the moral hazards of a socialized medical system. When the rest of society is paying for your medical care it becomes tempting to save money be dictating exactly how you're allowed to live your life.

I'm not convinced proof-of-stake means less equity. PoW is very capex intensive between hardware and energy. Especially during a time when energy prices are soaring, the big players have access to extremely cheap electricity that keeps them profitable, while the small players shut down.
Back in the mid 1990s I had a summer job porting a map engine from Visual Basic to a Java applet running inside of Netscape. It ended up being a performance optimization nightmare. Because $reasons, the database stored polygons as strings, and parsing strings in Java to get the coordinates needed to draw the polygons was ridiculously slow when doing it the Java way. I ended up having to write my own custom string parsing code to avoid all the overhead associated with object creation and garbage collection when using the Java string libraries to get barely passable performance drawing the simplest of maps. It probably didn't help that computers were still only running in the hundreds of MHz at the time, but that experience ended up souring me on Java for just about anything else.
