When I game on my 3440x1440 curved monitor, I usually nudge my FOV 10 to 20 degrees higher. This gives me a very generous 'flat' zone in the middle for when (and where) I need precision, and the edges of the screen have a small bit of 'zoom' to help watch my corners.

Sometimes I try to game that a bit when looking at something distant: I'll wiggle the object's position between the edge and center of the camera, to get slightly different perspectives on it.
You're confusing perl with ruby there.
Throughout history, the people have tried to say "tut tut" to the president, and the response is usually large amounts of police violence.
Ya those were my thoughts exactly, and I used Perl heavily for several years.

The number two feature they listed was released more than 22 years ago.

Perl is fine for certain tasks, I have no problem with people who choose to use it, but at a certain point I'd argue it's better to learn a new language than try to use Perl for a new type of task.

It's weird that you yourself don't require these kinds of qualifications to participate in this discussion. I guess you don't need them in order to disqualify people from disagreeing with you.

Both 'opinions' or 'facts' can easily be flamewar tangents - the form and context count for a lot. There's lots of moderator commentary on this.
As a politician, it is not desirable to be connected to the Mormon church (they want to put their finger on the scales, you have to tithe a lot, etc).

You want the credentials but not the cost, or you end up in a very hard balancing act with a lot of internal politics.

There are Mormon politicians in Utah - but not as many as you would think. It looks like currently three Utah districts have Mormon reps.

Locally you may see a lot more Mormons as the political balancing act is overall easier.
Good thing it's not a measure of behavior, but of preference.
There is enough reason to suspect something is going on though, especially that the CCP is known to lie and cover up.
I believe this is quite healthy view you have and I think we feel sorry for ourself mostly that something in our life has gone.

You might be overestimating the effects of hallucination. Someone who's hallucinating is not necessarily more impaired than someone who is drunk.

Imagine this- you hear something behind you (a real sound), and for a moment you are startled, thinking someone else is in the room. You soon realize that this isn't the case.

Someone on hallucinogens might take a moment longer to realize that there is nobody there. They imagine the intruder a little more vividly, their heart rate goes up a bit more. But just for a moment.

In contrast, if there actually is someone there, a drunk person might not realize it. Their senses are dulled. Instead of seeing things that aren't there, they fail to notice things that are there. It's the opposite.
Looks like that's a bug, sorry about that. Will be fixed in the next update.

For reference, in the Pro version you can set the storage for your favorites to private (local browser storage) or public (HN profile). It's currently set to private storage for free users, but should be set to public (to save to your HN profile).

OTOTH, there was never a rocket that could land, only suborbital prototypes. Shuttle doesn’t count since it’s reusable in name only, as it still cost substantial amount of money and time for refurbishing. In fact there are still no other reusable rockets, seven years after SpaceX did it for the 1st time.
There's also some handy features that are only available in the JSON format. e.g. `strip_path_suffix` and `http_redirect` for the `rewrite` handler (https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/2011#issuecommen...), which would be a more ergonomic way to set a rule to strip trailing slashes than handling via regex.

The astroturfing was more of the 'submarine' type [0] that took skill and effort for more niche products than the more low effort mass spam & fraud types you see on amazon and such.

> Perl receives such an unnecessary amount of hate

I agree. We might deny it, because we are geeks, not fashionistas, but there's such a thing as "cool for geeks" like running Rust code on MacOS with some PostgreSQL sprinkled on, and such a thing as "uncool" like running Perl code over Windows and exchanging CSV files.

Personally, IDGAF: I care about what works the best, not what's cool. I care about performance. I care about the code not breaking due to weird compatibility issues. I care about keeping the stack as simple as possible, because what's simple often works better.

If, god forbid, I need something more complicated than CSV, I reach for sqlite --- which, unfortunately, is starting to become the "cool" option, and therefore might get turned into the proverbial hammer that makes all your problems look like nails!
Laughs in German!

Seriously though. Maybe, if we solve the large capacity storage issues and are able to build a storage system to scale. So 3 or 4 decades if we are extremely lucky. But right now in reality....

And it's still not clear if it would be enough in the end. We'd need cover everything in panels and put towers everywhere. The amount of resources needed for solar and wind is actually realistically insane at the scales needed. (one of the many problems usually ignored by wind/solar evangelism)
Do I still need a prescription to get medication?
I can share personal experiences.

My MB letters tentatively are INTJ. I say tentatively because I took a couple of free online tests. Those might not be very accurate. Knowing those letters never aided me in anything. The only interesting that has come out of it is that I discovered a weird subculture of people who wish their MB letter were exactly those. Some kind of a weird obsession.

Big 5 - I took Jordan Peterson's paid test. Discovering that I was more disagreeable and more open to ideas than roughly 90% of population was helpful with self awareness and managing expectations when dealing with others. For example, I don't expect most of my colleagues to be as critical of the company leadership or company policies as I am. And I fully expect some of my colleagues to shut down my ideas for deviating too much from existing patterns.
Especially if they feel that they can use violence to overrule the will of the people.

I used to be super libertarian but Ive come to realize that this only works if you, the one availing yourself of liberty, are the one that bears the consequences of your bad decisions. Increasingly, it seems, you do not. The dumber and more anti-social you act, the more victim status you are awarded with as the left half of our polity trips all over themselves rushing to make excuses for you.

And then all the people who'd just like to sit in a park while also not being menaced by drug addicts are told to shut up.

No thanks. We, as a society, cannot handle the liberties we already have.
King Harald V of Norway (born 1936) and Queen Margrete II (born 1940) are old enough to remember WW2. So is Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands (born 1938, abdicated).

I think the grandparent comment’s author forgot to insert a “British” in front of monarch.

Edit:

> [Simeon II] is, along with the current Dalai Lama, one of only two living people who were heads of state from the time of World War II. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simeon_Saxe-Coburg-Gotha

However, Elizabeth II did not become Queen until well after WW2.

(Removed erroneous statement about the Swedish king being old enough to remember WW2; he was born in 1946.)

I'm not even brit and I`m sad to see her go. She inspired people in the best and the worst, and I wish other leaders took their job as serious as her.

In a fast changing world she was a constant, always doing her best. It's like a small Light Beacon in the world had been turned off.
That's reasonable! I wouldn't say someone who blocks ads (or doesn't eat lettuce) is breaking an agreement. But I do think by doing this you undermine a business model that is letting a lot of people read things (or eat burgers) for free, and that's making the world worse.

Would you say that someone who bypasses paywalls is similarly not freeloading?
Most is the guides online have the issue of being too specific to what the author cares about or just a dump of random "I thought it would be good" ideas. I wouldn't follow any specific ones really.

Instead, if you'd like to improve your security, I'd recommend 3 things:

- Learn basics of threat modelling. There are many posts about it, but in short it's asking: who can do what and what are the options to prevent that.

- Learn what's running in your system. What services you're running, what apps. What untrusted data hits any software.

- Go to the higher quality sources for what you actually care about. For example, you find out you're running samba - read the security sections of their docs https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch09.html and system administration guides. Read about firewall configuration for your system.

If done incorrectly, it can cause ecological harm and provide little benefit. That doesn't mean we shouldn't do it, just that it should be done carefully.
They answer to the people eventually, but while in office they wield powers unknown in our (British) system since the time of George III. And I mean that quite literally. The US president is essentially an elected British King circa 1789. They literally copied the constitutional role of the king point by point with a few minor alterations. The power to convene and dissolve parlia...er...congress, executive decrees are royal decrees, the veto on legislation, command of the armed forces, the power to pardon convicts, proroguation. Not exactly cutting edge constitutional innovation I'm afraid. We've moved on, but in some ways the US still stuck in the 18th Century.
My deepest condolences.

Years ago, I remember reading about how her family remained during WW2 while it was being bombed, against what was certainly “sensible” advice, and sharing in the hardship that everyone else was going through.

Even generations and culturally separated, this sort of shared hardship left a lasting impression on me; and she certainly represented the best of the UK.
Had a similar experience. Stayed at a 4.9 star superhost place, and the place was terrible. Very cheap and uncomfortable furniture (I had to buy my own pillows in order to sleep), and the place smelled of sewage most of the day for some reason (not due to bad cleaning).

I left a bad review. They just deleted it saying it was against their TOS.
For which part? The comment you replied to mentions a bunch of different features, and a plugin.
This is ridiculous. A single French teenager(17yo) jumped off the Nemo Building[1], which lead to mushrooms being banned. There are several problems here. This building has a low railing around the tall publicly accessible portion, and no real safety features to prevent jumping. Teens this age are notorious for impulsively jumping from these types of structures, it's why The Vessel in Hudson Yards in NYC was closed. There's no real reason to suspect the mushrooms caused the incident given the previous two factors.

As for the animal sacrifices, I couldn't find a single news article from 2000-2007 referencing this. I also couldn't find any good crime numbers.

The whole illegalization push in 2007 from available news sources was tied to this one suicide and damage to French-Dutch relations.

The British Constitution can be seen as a large piece of legacy code which has never been tossed and rewritten from scratch, just incrementally patched and refactored over a really long period of time.

Downside: lots of bizarre complexities, bits of dead code, stuff that works as long as nobody touches it etc. Upsides: it's really stable.
I think that one at least passable reason for just the “natural” substances to be focused on is to bring religious people under the big tent of eventual psychedelic legalization. Leaning on arguments such as God wouldn’t have made the substance if He didn’t want us to use it resonates with a lot of potential allies to the overall psychedelic legalization cause.

A second reason comes from the group Decriminalize Nature [0] in their resolution to the Oakland City Council when pushing for decriminalization there[1]: “…reestablish humans’ inalienable and direct relationship to nature.” That is, some have this explicit goal and might not care much for the synthesized psychedelics.

All well and good. Then again, I've found the Computer Science literature to be abysmal - for pretty much forever. IMHO, there isn't a single journal that comes close to the quality of papers published in "Science," or "J. of the AMA." I turned off my ACM & IEEE journal subscriptions, years ago.

The good stuff used to be in things like MIT AI Lab Memos, BBN Technical Reports, RFCs, theses, and such. The good presentations are at trade shows - and more likely to be in exhibitor booths, and part of show floor demonstrations (the old INTEROP shownets, the LVC demonstrations at I/ITSEC conferences).

Personally, I'm a lot more concerned with the review processes for grant & contract proposals - where there's real money on the table, and achieving solid results can be mission- and sometimes life-critical.
Sure, but there are a lot of times where if you care about performance you should use Perl. General purpose? Sure, Python.
> Well it's not totally made up. There is definitely something there

"Consciousness" can be a (fairly vague) term encompassing concretely realizable things like train of thought, the ability to introspect those thoughts, an internal model of self, etc. Humans have these whereas a rock does not, and there's nothing in particular preventing AI from eventually having these.

"Consciousness" as something incorporeal that a physically identical being could lack is nonsense territory IMO (but already heavily debated by people far smarter than me). I don't see how whatever we mean by consciousness can make no physical difference when we're directly aware of it and talking about it in the physical world.
Ukraine has been synchronized only very recently and it's much more like an emergency interconnect. Zaporozhi Power Plant is under attack.
Noise, location are prime things that are 'outside of host control' and thus need to be censored. Speaking from experience. How about a ground floor apartment with several restaurants' courtyards and back areas adjacent to the windows?
Before the internet existed you could just say things confidently and nobody could check if you were right. Nowadays you check the internet and there's 100 blog posts backing up the lie. What a time to be alive.

But I don’t want to write perl again anyway.
> there is also a completely parallel society for people living in tents where enforcement of anything is a stated non-priority.

Also where health or safety isn't anyone's responsibility. I guess we find it innately distasteful to make real demands of people that we do as little for as we possibly can. Most of us think that it's dangerously charitable not to imprison them and burn their things.

JSON is the "machine readable" config language for Caddy, but a great majority of users are using the Caddyfile. What are you confused about specifically?
As a Canadian (and we tend to be staunchy more anti-monarch over here) I agree whole heartedly. Her reign was pretty much entirely inoffensive, she tried to use her powers to promote good things while staying out of the running of any of the commonwealth governments.

I think being a monarch as prominent as Queen Elizabeth is a hard job mostly because there is very little you can do right and a whole lot you could do wrong. She avoided doing much wrong for her reign and I think she was an ideal monarch for the modern democratic age.
That has not ever been the reason governments removed commodity money. The reason always boils down to, "I don't have enough money, I'll just change the rules to benefit me". Fiat money is and always has been fraudulent. Whether it is to pay for a war or a personal agenda with government power the reason doesn't matter. What matters is that the people in power change the rules to benefit them to the detriment of the populous. Commodity money puts the people and the government on equal footing. The greed of both is constrained by physical limits of commodity supply. With commodity money, to have more you need to earn more. With fiat money only the people have to play by that rule. The government is not such constrained. This leads to an ever increasing money supply to pay for government largesse that diminishes the value of the labor of the populous. With commodity money it would not be possible for government to overspend tax revenue for 9 decades. No private bank would continue to lend to such a prolific debtor.
seems to me like a worldview problem. are remote resources really persistent and associated with long lived commercial organizations like github? or are they more like urls that come and go.

it would suck to have to deal with another location service, although one could imagine using something like DNS were it sufficiently secure.

I used to have access to a large set of hotel review data. The median score on Booking was 8.1 (if you filter for business travelers it's in the 7s, but I'm not sure if that's available in the UI). This is partly because the scale is actually from 2.5-10, not 1-10 or 0-10 as you might expect. The rest is probably just because people don't evenly distribute ratings and tend to favor the top and bottom of the scale.

Government funded research being basically throwing money into the ether and hoping some entire brand new world of chemistry or physics or communications or anything like that is the whole point of government investment. Research into one area providing gains in other unexpected areas is a direct goal of the kind of research the government funds.

You know, like, the internet. The government wanted to make sure that nuking one air force base couldn't prevent the retaliation strike, so let's make a big network that is scalable, re-routable on the fly, and simple to put together. Creating a brand new sector of the economy and dominating the new sector with the likes of google and microsoft and apple was the exact outcome optimistic government employees would wish for.
Yes generally, but during this €9 fare summer, I haven’t seen any checks at all. They just assume you all paid for it.
