>I'd not heard of Kiwi Farms before this whole censorship attempt...

Me neither. When I started seeing the name on HN, I honestly thought it was literally a kiwi farming website [Do they even farm kiwis in NZ].

Like you, I at also took a look to see what the fuss was about. But, judging by the titles of the various discussion threads, it just looked like a collection of moronic drivel. So I didn't bother reading anything.

Still, that's at least two of us who'd never even have heard of the site, much less visited it, of it wasn't being censored.

> the Western-led anti-Russia war

Russia invaded neighboring sovereign nation with the goal of annexing the territory. Dichotomy is simple: If you want to live in a world where this is okay, you can support Russia.
Thanks for the feedback. This is really hard to explain.

Autochrome has a brilliant worked example https://fazzone.github.io/autochrome.html and it still took me several readings before it clicked.

Every graph vertex represents a pair of pointers (or positions) to AST nodes. So in the example, the start program is `A` and the end program is `X A`. The positions point to AST nodes in these programs.

I try to use 'vertex' consistently for graph vertices, to avoid confusion with AST/s-expression nodes. If you have any suggestions for better terminology I'd be very interested too :)
Way back I used to live in an apartment with terrible noise from above at night.

I got pretty sensitive to it over time, to the point I started drafting sketches and ideas for what essentially would have been a "soundproofed coffin". The concept eventually evolved into a helmet design. But I moved out to a quieter place before actually prototyping anything.

I was similarly disappointed I couldn't find anything premade on the market. It terms of earplugs, I personally find the silicon ones worked best, shoved in tight enough to make a good seal. Sometimes I was able to cram into a contorted position with my arms holding memory foam pillows on top of my head that would further help dampen noise.

Sorry to hear about your woes. It sucks. Hang in there and don't give up. If you're able to consider resituating, don't be afraid to make noise a priority factor for the new location - noise pollution often doesn't get the consideration and attention it deserves, and people who haven't gone through it don't always realize how it can impact your health and break down your mental fortitude.

Finally, if you really are having suicidal thoughts please seek out professional help.

Sending good karma your way; I hope you're able to reclaim a corner of control.
I have a pair, but haven't used too many gestures, since it seems somewhat limited. I was very surprised that you cant even accept/reject a call with a gesture. Just curious, why would you get buttons instead of sensors?
I see there the same relationship. If you have a fixed surface temperature then you have to decrease volumetric intensity when increasing volume (the ITER and further case). If you have a fixed volumetric intensity then increasing volume results in higher energy flux per unit of surface and thus results in surface temperature increase to increase the intensity (T^4) of radiation away of that energy - that is the Sun case.
I learned back in 2008 that you never, ever attach a review to your real name.

Any review, negative or neutral, runs the risk of damaging AirBnB, too many negative reviews might have the effect where AirBnB has to address the allegations, when it's much easier to just keep making money off of the bad host and ignoring negative experiences.

I feel less likely to rent an AirBnB because of this article, simply by the fact that there is more than one negative review placed off-site.

They don't want to deal with it; you are just a number, always have been. DO NOT post negative reviews with your real name

That was sarcasm.

"If you're not guilty then you have nothing to hide" is a semi-common phrase that is broadly considered to be wrong and foolish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_to_hide_argument

This sub-thread contains statements such as "Nobody goes to prison over tax errors unless it's deliberate fraud" and "Only if you're Al Capone[0] or similar". It is my personal opinion that those statements are roughly equivalent to "if you're not guilty then you have nothing to hide". You may or may not agree with that comparison, that's fine.

The idea that the IRS only prosecutes and wins convictions against the guilty is naive and foolish based on my lived experiences. Other people have had other experiences. They are fortunate and privileged.

The difference in opinion between the police and IRS is interesting. Police are not popular these days. Some people even believe All Cops Are Bastards. I would encourage people to extend whatever opinion they hold on the police, prosecutors, and the judicial system to cover IRS agents as well.

Plugging a DOS game to an SDL(2) library won't "just work".

Some concepts are inherent to the hardware and the O/S.

Hardware example: EGA (not the case of doom, but of other, slightly older games) uses bitplanes, it's not just an array of byes; audio cards used specific drivers.

O/S: timers may need to be emulated, as the game may not have a straightforward game loop; due to this, even exiting cleanly may not be trivial to implement.

> After working with Java for over a year professionally, I really appreciate its dependency management system(Maven or Gradle).

Personally, it feels better in some ways and worse in others.

The whole pom.xml approach/format that Maven uses seems decent, all the way up to specifying which registries or mirrors you want to use (important if you have something like Nexus). Although publishing your own package needs additional configuration, which may mean putting credentials in text files, though thankfully this can be a temporary step in the CI pipeline.

That said, personally I almost prefer the node_modules approach to dependencies that Node uses (and I guess virtualenv to a degree), given that (at least usually) everything a particular project needs can easily be in a self-contained folder. The shared .m2 cache isn't a bad idea, it can just make cleaning it periodically/for particular projects kind of impossible, which is a shame.

I think one of the aspects that make dependencies better in JVM land is the fact that you oftentimes compile everything your app needs (perhaps without the JVM, though) into a .jar file or something similar, which can then be deployed. Personally, I think that that's one of the few good approaches, at least for business software, which is also why I like Go and .NET when similar deployments are possible. JVM already provides pretty much everything else you might need runtime-wise and you don't find yourself faffing about with system packages, like DB drivers.

That said, what I really dislike about the JVM ecosystem and frameworks like Spring, is the reliance on dynamic loading of classes and the huge amounts of reflection-related code that is put into apps. It's gotten to the point where even if your code has no warnings and actually compiles, it might still easily fail at runtime. Especially once you run into issues where dependencies have different versions of the same package that they need themselves, or alternatively your code doesn't run into the annotations/configuration that it needs.

Thankfully Spring Boot seems like a (decent) step forwards and helps you avoid some of the XML hell, but there is still definitely lots of historical baggage to deal with.

Personally, I like Python because of how easy it is to work with once things actually work and its relatively simplistic nature and rich ecosystem... but package management? I agree that it could definitely use some work. Then again, personally I just largely have stuck with the boring setup of something like pip/virtualenv inside of containers, or whatever is the most popular/widespread at any given moment.

Of course, Python is no exception here, trying to work with old Ruby or Node projects also sometimes has issues with getting things up and running. Personally I feel that the more dependencies you have, the harder it will be to keep your application up and running, and later update it (for example, even in regards to front end, consider React + lots of additional libraries vs something like Angular which has more functionality out of the box, even if more tightly coupled).
Slander? It's factual that he used his money to get to the front of the line for an organ donation. It's possible someone in Tennessee died because a foreigner took the liver he deserved.

> Jobs couldn't pay for an organ. Nor could he pay to cut the queue. But what someone with Jobs' resources could do, according to liver transplant surgeons and ethicists, is to use money and mobility to improve the odds either by going to an area of the country where there are more organ donors, or by signing up at multiple transplant centers.

It's just a version of the Dark Forest problem. It is possibly much safer to drop an asteroid on any newfound civilization's head than to travel hundreds or thousands of years (at light speed) just to observe someone and try to figure out if they are going to drop an asteroid on your civilization's head first. IOW, the first-mover, the one who pulls the trigger first, the side that pushes the doomsday button first, etc ... the surprise attacker has a better chance of victory.

EDIT,

It as typed on an HP OMEN -- and through my 30+ years in tech I have had a lot of bad things to say about HP in the middlings -- (HP/COMPAQ had the best support mid '90s to very early 2000's (then the Carlie debacle bullshit happened) -- but the HP support right now... is stellar (at least in my experience currently).

No tech company is beyond reproach.
Absolutely I can conceive of those scenarios. They make some tremendous products (even if they often get a pass on some pretty serious bugs and flaws).

They're marketing though is aspirational to the point of appealing to people's delusions of grandeur. Apple is very aware that barely any of their customers will be using a dive computer and most Pro phone customers won't be dealing with ProRAW, even if a minority genuinely appreciate it for their workflow.

This is going to sound made up, totally realise that, but that's kind of my point (it seems silly written out) - last night I was talking to a buddy of mine after the event and he said he's going out to get the Watch Pro at release. He's not a diver and hikes very rarely (locally, with good cell reception) so I asked why. The answer was the extra button, because it looks different from a normal one and people will know he has the Pro model. This is Apple's market, and they know it - the rest is just window dressing.

This dude can't afford a $900 watch right now.

It's not Apple's fault people make poor financial decisions, but they very much rely on it.

> Seriously, how many of you ever read a news about a new tax and "talked to your congress representative"?

You and I don't do that, but rich people and companies do, if a tax increase is going to impact you and I by $100 it's barely worth the email that will be ignored. If a company is going to be hit by $100m, then it's well worth spending $1m to carve out an exception.

> All these are just giant waste of time to majority of the population in the country.

It works too. Tax return day is ingrained in the American Psyche through cultural output (TV), there is a constant undertone in the US that taxes are bad and the government is stealing your money.

Get rid of tax day and make 70% of the country not have to worry about it other than a line on their payslip and as well as making things far more efficient for both the taxpayer and the government (thus reducing government spending), it changes that cultural balance. Few will care about taxes, and that means the pressure to introduce a 0.1 cent drop in tax (which is structured to benefit someone on $150k by say $2 a week, but benefits people like the Koch Brothers by $200k a week) goes away.

If at the fastest speed a computer can physically operate the program would take longer than the expected duration of the universe, I believe we can safely say it does not usefully represent the information, even though in mathematical relationship it may seem to.

Less absurdly, if the program takes longer to run than the MTBF of the computer it operates on, we can say the same thing with some probability.

It’s a roundabout way of saying that what seems to work in math isn’t always possible useful or functional in material reality. Since Kolmogorov seems to be pointing in this direction of blurring computation in material reality with mathematical information it seems worth considering.
Yes, this complete lack of agreement on terms is possibly the hardest problem in discussing it ;)

I tend to use consciousness as the same as awareness really. Being awake and experiencing. This is where qualia are found, and
is something I readily ascribe to most if not all animals, and even possibly other living things.

I find the term self consciousness meaning meta cognition to be problematic, as many animals are aware of themselves as beings (e.g. recognise that a reflection is them). I don't think they can reflect on that much though.

We support much higher levels of abstraction in thinking than other animals, and we can reflect on our own thoughts, including our self in that model. These are cognitive skills rather than being about awareness.

I would say that an artificial intelligence can possess deep cognitive skills but have no awareness at all. Although it could have that too - I just don't see that as a requirement.

I think this is a the first act from apple entering into active lifestyle market for the endurance/outback/mountain and outgoing folks.

It is definitely not for me this year, it does not have the battery life I need during an excursion and there is no possibility of charge on the go (like good old Garmin watches that you can charge while using during an activity).

But in few years it will advance the same way apple watch has advanced :-).
This does make the assumption of aliens having similar lifespans. A life form that might live 500 or 10k years would view the personal cost of those distances much differently than humans, who view it as suicide.

It also assumes similar moral and cognitive processes of what to do when encountering another planet's life, neither of which must hold true for a society or species to become spacefaring. Likewise, an alien's AI probe could be effectively immortal and that would drastically shape its opinions on a return trip.

Or maybe they're intergalactic mayflies with innate knowledge for reaching orbit or relativistic speeds but they die each day and a new generation takes over tomorrow. All distances are suicide missions, even trips across their own planet. It would totally normalize multigenerational trips.

I think it's short sighted to make any assumptions of human similarities when it comes to first contact. Cephalopods have independently developed significant intelligence in parallel here on Earth and they might as well be aliens to us despite a common evolutionary ancestor way back. A completely independent evolutionary path leading to intelligence could be incredibly counter to our expectations.
It's not necessary to support either side. India's neutral for now...
Garmin’s branding and segmentation is complete mess. After hour of browsing I still cannot figure out what to buy and the real differentiators. Their compare tool is useless. It has all the characteristics of no attention to details. The whole company is surviving simply because they turn off GPS, wifi and always on to boost the battery life to 5X. There is no other visible magic souse. It is also beyond me why Apple can’t simply add “modes” to extend battery life is same manner.
Why would they be at a disadvantage? As a small business don't you keep your business accounts separate to your personal accounts, and have an accountant to at least audit them each year before submission?
