This is one prime example I was thinking of when I wrote the comment, but I was waiting for someone else to say it.

I have vague memories of other things, like maybe some Bush orders that didn't get a swift or easy rollback with Obama ... But that was longer ago.

But I think more broadly and nonpartisan, a law passed by Congress or an executive order by the president that is done when someone feels they have a mandate... Often sets broad policy for years and outlasts the mandate. More than most people understand. I think this contradicts the easy, oversimplified statement people like to make that elections don't matter and the parties and candidates are interchangable.
Did they move to vertical power delivery for this generation? That would explain the increase in power delivery to the chip.
Nah, it implies a belief in natural forces.
Here's a good rundown on what's going on with Oracle and Java:

One supports the Jan 6th insurrection attempt and the other doesn't.
One supports bodily autonomy and the other doesn't.

That's only two examples, but enough to make the point that yes, there are indeed differences.
Because Microsoft sees what's happening to Roblox and what has happened to countless children-oriented online game platforms and wants to make absolutely certain they don't have headlines about adults abusing children, exploiting children, taking children off-site, or so on from "Minecraft". Because you can be damn sure the parents won't read the nuances of what server it was.
When someone points out a problem with healthcare in America, others always chime in with “we should have socialized healthcare like Sweden.” This is in the same thing, except the premise is that maybe Saudi Arabia and other Sharia law countries are on to something.

The affluent, privileged Oberlin students profiled in the article don’t even feel shame about stealing from local small businesses. That suggests not only something about them, but the moral context they inhabit. And these are our next generation of leaders! What if we have made a mistake and ratcheting down punishments for theft had the effect of weakening social taboos against it? What if the students aren’t the product of something that can be called progress? What if the Saudis are on to something?
I don't have a problem with the rule. I have a problem with it not being part of the guidelines. Besides, I've seen threads labeled "flamebait" that have more and better discussion than the main thread. That's not how it's supposed to work.
Minetest seems hardcoded to have much smaller worlds than Minecraft (32,000 vs 30,000,000 blocks in width)
It looks almost exactly like HTML though? The only difference is wrapping curly brackets around expressions. I admit that if you embed long expressions directly in the JSX it can chaotic, but I tend to assign these expressions to variables first, then put the variable in the JSX. Or break it up into another component.

I think with languages like Perl, Ruby and Python you just need a static, compiled language to migrate to at a certain scale, preferably with similar features. Kotlin and Scala seem to be currently the best options for Ruby, Python and OO Perl. For procedural Perl maybe Golang.
I'm pretty sure bash still interprets line by line because you can mess up a script by editing it while it is executing.
Eric Holder ruined the phrase, "Fast and Furious," for me. Now, whenever I see that phrase, I am reminded of gun-running US attorneys held in Contempt of Congress.
Precisely, it's a teaching opportunity. My parents denied me certain things, and while I "hated" them for it sometimes, I have grown to understand why. It did have the very real cost of making socializing more difficult, and yet precisely that prepared me for this kind of sacrifice. Long term, I'm grateful for that, they were real, actual parents.
This would basically be my list.

I'd add GPT3 & Github Copilot, which my team and I use professionally. It's far from perfect, but it's a great GSD tool especially for stuff like Regex, bash scripts, and weird APIs.

I think Ireland has a good system.

The President is a largely symbolic apolitical role – yet also popularly elected. To ensure only high quality candidates run, the hurdle to nominate is rather high – nomination by at least 20 members of the Irish Parliament (the Oireachtas), or by at least four county/city councils (Ireland only has 31). My impression is that people are generally happy with the outcome of the process.

In Australia, we could similarly require nomination by at least 20 MPs (the Parliament of Australia is only slightly larger than the Oireachtas, 227 vs 220). The four councils requirement is a bit harder to translate – but rough equivalents would be nomination by 1 state/territory government, or by 70 local councils.
Interesting article, but note that moderate sun exposure has a lower mortality than either "no" or "lots of" sun exposure.

Which is not surprising considering the need for sun exposure for things like vitamin D.

But I'm not sure mortality is the best measure? Maybe quality of life? Getting surgery to remove a basal cell carcinoma and having failed skin grafts (happened to my grandmother) seems like a heavy burden to cost of life not captured in mortality.
It's such a nightmare for internal scripts. Even for ruby shops where theoretically bundler solves the problem there's all these cowboys with ten external dependencies and no lockfile
About time. I'm hoping others will follow up soon.
Why the assumption that they care only about liability? Minecraft is now a multi-decade game and they want to keep it as the #1 king of it's domain to sell copies for many more decades.

That will be hard if parents see headlines about "Minecraft" (no, the specific server host won't matter) being used to exploit or otherwise prey upon children and stop buying it.
This judgement is problematic on so many fronts, most concerning is it chills free speech, and attaches popular moral precepts to political speech.

Oberlin is now responsible for the speech of its adult students and now must censor them in a Ministry of Truth like role to avoid civil liability. Must they also censor researchers debunking the efficacy of drugs in trials causing financial harm to Big Pharma?

Gibson's may even be right morally, they are unfairly maligned as racists, but free speech doesn't hinge on morality, but liberty.
Go to your profile and enable showdead.
That's an uncharitable summary. This is an unusually huge defamation award, and I support it: Oberlin richly deserved the outcome they had in court. But the story you're telling is not accurate.

School administrators at Oberlin pretty clearly believed that Gibson's racially profiled students and victimized lower-income non-white students. And, here's the important thing about that: to some extent, Oberlin is entitled to believe that and say so, regardless of what the "facts" are. That's because, to an extent, those are subjective statements, and defamation consists of false statements of fact.

Where Oberlin screwed up royally was in recklessly presenting facts that supported their preconceived (and constitutionally protected) notions about Gibson's moral failings. But it's easy to see how someone could do that: you see it in HN arguments every day, if not every hour. People believe things that confirm the rest of their beliefs.

It turns out, if you casually do that while running a university, you can end up costing your university tens of millions of dollars. And rightly so. But the story you want to tell, about Oberlin's administrators simply manufacturing a story about Gibson's for the hell of it --- no, that's almost certainly not what happened.
Thus this part of OP's quote 'The police arrested the students, charging all three with assault and the shoplifter with robbery as well'.

Oberlin was in the wrong, as was the Assistant Dean of Students, yet there were no real repercussions.
My blood boils everytime I remember how the brits cut off thumbs of my people, the silk weavers.

People underestimate the atrocities done by British empire, one tiny example is when they chopped off thumbs of handloom weavers to stop the Indian business spread within India in order to sell their goods from Manchester produced from the stolen cotton from India again, my clan of people were the silk weavers since more than a millennium and were wiped out of existence. Even now I sometimes hear the horror stories from my Grandpa who lost a lot of kin and daily bread due to the greedy pigs and jealous barbarians that the empire was.

The words imperialism and colonialism don't do justice for the horrors they brought upon us.

I generally have empathy towards the dead, but for this incident, I hardly care.

Your $20 invested at 5% for 70 years with compounding interest would only build to ~$600.

Contrary to this straw man, I was suggesting a principle of $70B invested with compounding annual interest over 140 and 280 years, which would build to ~$64T and ~$60Q respectively.

Assuming the US population nearly doubles in 14 generations to 600M, there would be $100M per citizen in the sovereign wealth fund, which at 5% interest, would generate $5M per citizen annually.

Honestly, starting a new block engine from scratch with the lessons learned from Minetest and Minecraft would be a better idea. Minetest is just too far behind to catch up, on a dilapidated tech stack with a far worse modding layer than Minecraft.

And what does: "rely on looking to the fringes for our philosophical goals" even mean, anyway?
Punitive damages in this case were around 2x economic damages, which came out to around $12MM. Gibson's wasn't just a bakery; they also owned a bunch of rental property in the area, and those interests were also harmed. The award does not appear tied to Oberlin's "billion dollar endowment" and, as we can see from their statement, hasn't even touched it.

Later

Nope, I'm wrong: the total punitive damages awarded to the Gibson were closer to 1x economic damages --- Oberlin got to 36MM by appealing and putting themselves on the hook for an additional 6MM in legal fees.

Also, I should be saying "compensatory" and not "economic", since there's a bunch of compensatory damage categories that aren't economic.

True, looking at the chart it's 4.5x the perf an A100 (1x), or 350% faster. Would my comment edit if I could.
Interesting take. Do you believe humans have always had a tendency for apathy to the less fortunate or is it a modern trend to be more apathetic as one gets more self-sufficient in a society that encourages individualism?
When people make stupid comments in the other ideological direction, I flag them too. This stuff is beneath you --- or, it used to be.

Is the Mandela Effect Leaving Your AWS Data Vulnerable?
The Mandela effect is not just a pop culture phenomenon, it exists in the world of enterprise technology, too. It’s a common misconception that data stored in the cloud is automatically backed up.
Perl enabled me to take a business-owner's disorganised national spreadsheet of teachers, locations and contact details and turn it into a web application, freeing him from fielding phone calls all day and boosting conversions over a period of 15 years. Perl's superb regex handling was essential in extracting and gradually refining the data until it was fit to be entered into a database. From that point on Perl, along with PostgreSQL, literally ran the business while generating opportunities for hosting promotions with bigger companies. Those who (m|kn)ock Perl usually haven't spent a significant amount of time using it to add real value to a business.

Drugs are effectively legal in San Fransisco already. Just walk down the street and take a look around. Psychedelics are not addictive and 99.999% of the people you see walking the streets like zombies are not on psychedelics.
My son was banned by Sony for 2 months, there were a few things Sony did wrong so they are now on my shit list

1 the bastards did not send me the parent any detaisl about the ban, just a extremely vague reason so I have to guess all possible reasons (maybe chat, maybe screenshots shared in chat, maybe Sony devs fucked up with native languages, maybe my son tells the truth and it was that guy that demanded Fortnite gifts otherwise they will report them and get them banned

2 Sony did not let me appeal, or ask for details, fuck you Sony, you lost a customer

3 at that time I had a 12 months subscription that is required for online play, so the banning robbed me for 2 months subscriptions.

IMO, I believe my son , that it was a troll, Sony lost a customer , they could avoided this if they could show me exactly the "crime", I could then educate my son if he used some "bad word" (we are not native speackers so he might not know that some word is dangerous, soem can use it but if you get reported you are screwed)
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Under OS security model I meant mostly more modern approaches like Android (especially GrapheneOS) or iOS — desktop OSs have plenty of catching up to do here.

Android for example runs everything as a separate user with very restricted abilities, and require IPC for any “elevated permission” operations, which are checked by a separate daemon process before being allowed on its behalf.

And I think heap corruptions should not be taken lightly - I was thinking that you mostly mean server processes before, as in these cases a memory corruption can lead to exposing other user’s data, which is a huge step back from the predominantly used Java/C#/etc backends. The concept of well-defined failure is very important and for example a Java program will never get into such an undecidable state an “unsafe” language can.
Data scientists have the right approach here. Crop the outliers, use the mode for sparse data, make an embedding of categorical variables. In short, just pretend like the data is normalized because that makes for a more accurate model of reality in practice.

One lesson potentially learned...

Oberlin and its students must comply with local "speech codes" or face being sued into non existence.

And people think "woke" political correctness is bad, at least the snowflakes use speech to counter speech, rather than courts.
There are a couple of things to keep in mind here:

1. The link between psychedelic use and persisting minor visual disturbances is reasonably well established.

2. The link between psychedelic use and serious, problematic visual disturbances or psychiatric issues is not well established at all, and modern evidence calls into question[1].

Even if we do take at face value the attributions of problematic HPPD to psychedelics (which we really shouldn't), the prevalence of this phenomenon is extremely low. So low that there isn't much in the way of empirical data to estimate its prevalence - just case reports. And case reports are a notoriously unreliable way to reason about etiology.

Your editor should be able to highlight comments (and adds/removes/line changes) however you want it to. Arguing about these defaults is more trivial than arguing about tabs vs spaces, or line endings.

Please don’t argue about either of those in reply to this comment. Both objectively have more of an impact on committed code, and that’s my only point. My functions are orange and my variables are blue. I don’t care how yours are distinguished, if they are, unless I’m reading your shared screen. It has less of an impact on my comprehension than minuscule font sizes.
We bought a small farm this summer. We're not planning to go full homestead but will try to grow some of our food, starting from the chickens. And more than homesteading we are interested on running our own regenerative ag farm in future. I'm working as a freelance programmer and as another commenter mentioned it's hard to find enough time to do the chores of the farm. But overall we have enjoyed here. There's no really time to sit on the sofa and watch Netflix but that didn't make us happy in the city either :)
Would love to replace writer with programmer and get back to that point in my life.
Not at all. What Oberlin isn't allowed to do is the same thing it wasn't allowed to do before - help organize a boycott of a legitimate business based on libelous accusations. The students can still do whatever they want to the extent that the institution chooses to not punish them.

Yes but the last time a monarch vetoed a law was in 1707, and that was only because parliament asked Queen Anne to veto the law.

In reality, if King Charles started vetoing then after a short constitutional crisis, parliament would basically just change the rules of the game to say that the monarch no longer has the power to veto laws.

Minecraft website said the following:

> Once sales start dying and a minimum time has passed, I will release the game source code as some kind of open source. I'm not very happy with the draconian nature of (L)GPL, nor do I believe the other licenses have much merit other than to boost the egos of the original authors, so I might just possibly release it all as public domain.

This did not happen yet, Minecraft is still selling really well.
> Patreon is where the users are. I've evaluated other platforms, but at that point I'm probably going to come up with my own thing on top of Stripe if Patreon falls over. I'm kinda low on ideas on how to make such a migration palatable otherwise.

What about LiberaPay?
Oberlin can arrange a boycott of a business like Gibson's for being "racist" or "pro-carceral" or any of a dozen other woke reasons. What they can't do is publish false statements of actual fact, like the assertion that an employee of Gibson's assaulted a student.
I wasn't being aggressive, I was filing in the blanks for others that might be interested.

Yeah. This blog post [0] has a nice graph showing that at continued exponential growth of energy consumption, we have less than a few hundred years until the planet would become uninhabitable simply due to the amount of additional heat. In particular, in about 400 years, the energy demand would equal the total solar energy flux hitting the planet.
