Journalists Carola Houtekamer and Rik Wassens introduce Nick Lim:

> Nick Lim, a young American Internet fundamentalist with absolutist views on freedom of speech

Later, journalists Carola Houtekamer and Rik Wassens use a quote to illustrate how they want their readers to think about Nick Lim:

> "Right now, Nick Lim is like a wounded elk ... It is time to move in quickly for the kill, before he gets away again."

Lovely. "Move in quickly for the kill". Such upright anti-haters!

> At least three suicides have been linked to the brigading on [Kiwi Farms]

If a young American Internet fundamentalist ever has a bad meeting with some upright anti-hater stirred up by lovely words about "moving in for the kill," will journalists Carola Houtekamer and Rik Wassens admit to being "linked to" homicide? If Nick Lim should die by his own hand, will everybody in "anti-hate" understand that journalists Carola Houtekamer and Rik Wassens are linked to at least one suicide?
Or 16.6 for 60Hz networks. Do you remember what it's sine wave when you on AC? You will be applied to the current for up to 2-2.5 cycles, so it's up to amount of current what you will get.

@londons_explore pretty summed it up and gave a link to a very good graph.

would we count protein prediction as machine learning? The learning part is possibly done, now people need to do model execution to invent new proteins.
This sort of thing is why I only use Django. I'm on the Rust hype train and use it in several domains, but won't use it for websites for this reason. (Auth, migrations, email etc)
I do it often and am comfortable with it.

The only awkwardness about it lasts all of 5 seconds when the wait staff ask you if you need a table for two or are expecting company.

Herb Sutter is trying to save C++ from becoming a legacy language: https://github.com/hsutter/cppfront

It is his ongoing work as he presented it on CppCon today.
This is why it’s good to intentionally go between the micro and macro and define some design goals or pillars. The latter give you a razor by which to judge the game and the former stops you getting stuck in the weeds.

I broadly agree with the Romero quote, getting the game playable as quickly as possible and keeping it playable is easily the most effective way of crafting a game because it enables you to routinely playtest and understand your progress. A key element of that is making the game legible and for that you do need to spend some time on “polish” because it’s an intractable element of the whole.
By "directly" I mean nobody has ever made, or tried to make, me feel bad about being a naïve [0] rich white dude.

Plenty of other things about me (sexuality, politics, my facial hair, formerly my interest in paganism) lead to people trying to get at me, but not any of the issues normally associated with SJW.

[0] I self describe as naïve here because of all the times I've had to update my world view because British history lessons lacked important details like "why did the Irish and the Indians not like British rule in the first place?" and "Kenyans and Cypriots literally took up arms against the British" and "Malta was under British rule and asked for a seat in Westminster".
Primates are not humans, cloning embryos for stem cell research is different from creating human clones, and the scientist who produced the two CRISPR-edited children went to jail, and he and his associates are banned for life from working in this type of research or even providing care in this area.
One of the reason that finally got me to drop Spotify is their constant (and usually very small) tinkering with their interface. I used to use it in specific ways and not very often so when I needed to find or edit a playlist it was very annoying to discover that a button moved or even its text changed. Same for Slack, which I’m very thankful I don’t have to use anymore.

Slack and Spotify design teams really need to appreciate the purse: if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
You can still be anonymous in open source projects. My experience is that nobody cares about your background or ethnicity or (at least) wants to know about your background/ethnicity. If you're a valuable contributor you will be respected instantly. Also if you're serious about wanting to learn (and have a fairly good foundation of basic skills) you will find people willing to help you. So if you're really worried about being discriminated against, but are serious about becoming a better programmer, just stay anonymous on github.
And this is why Adobe is paying so much for Figma: they’ve built the kind of closed data garden that Adobe wants to own across its whole product range.

Every year it becomes a bit harder to find the “default to local file system” setting in Photoshop (it’s off on a fresh install). Every year the UI for Creative Cloud files becomes a bit bigger. Eventually access to local files is probably going to be locked behind an administrator password with scary warning dialogs.
In a PoW cryptocurrency blockchain context, maybe? Though I think the much more precise term MEV captures that nicely.

The etymology of the term "front-running" goes at least as far back as the name "Reuters" and the use of pigeons to be the microwave towers of the day: https://www.reuters.com/article/rpb-historyofspeed/the-long-..., and probably a great deal further. I imagine the actual origin of the term is lost in deep antiquity due to the fact that someone with tradable information in hand would profit more by "running" than by walking.

I don't personally deal for profit in mempool analysis, but I'm the "low-latency guy" to enough people that do that I've had to learn the mechanics of a few of the big chains, which is frankly time that I'll never get back, and while the Nash equilibria are far less stable/obvious in this world than in a good old fashioned price-time precedence order-book, it looks pretty fucking shady to me.
Grave misunderstanding. It was not because of "hoarding control" that celsius collapsed. No amount of giving up control can change the fact that it was a late stage ponzi running on borrowed time. You could extend that time but it would only cause further suffering by dragging even more people into that black hole

That's the first time I heard about that, do you have any examples? Google shows me one example of Microsoft using them but that's all I can find.
I've spent a lot of time learning algorithms, and learning that certain ones exist, without learning their precise details (for future use). They have never got used. Maybe I used a bloom filter once.

It's had some value in knowing when a certain algorithm is inappropriate, but otherwise it's been a massive waste. Surely things can be better than this?

Jobs bleat for "creative, intelligent people with a knowledge of algos + data structures", so why won't you use this?
LOL. I forgot that the Trading Post got a free plug in The Castle. I guess Sensis was dreaming when they bought them.
Just follow a reliable source and ignore the rest? They’re not that hard to find, the ISW is a good example, they rarely make rushed statements.
I definitely use both deliveries in speech depending on the context, usually adding in the final pause when it helps disambiguate.

For example, “Apples, oranges and pears” the “and” has the about the same count as the pause after “Apples”; pausing before the “and” feels like a stutter.
How do you think it stands up to Carbon?
With Spanish being my first language, this confused me to no end. I constantly found myself reviewing my uni assignments to add a comma before the last item of a list.

This, that, and that other thing.

...In Spanish. Never really put any effort in understanding why, I just took it on face value and now I know.
I'm not sure about browsers but in React Native, icon fonts are far more performant.

Sometimes you want something to happen, but you don’t want to block whatever you’re doing on that. Think things like sending a welcome email when someone signs up for a new account.
RDNA2 APUs are in a similar place as the Tegra X1 was when the Switch first came out; I don't think it's impossible Nintendo switches back to AMD graphics, they have a long history of shipping Radeon in their home consoles all the way back to the GameCube.
You might not work in context where you have to recognize these patterns out in the wild and apply the knowledge.

I have friends 2 decades into programming as a profession who've never implemented any of these.
Most developers suck at design but most designers suck at development.

If your designer can't make your website work well with one of the hundreds of fonts preloaded on my machine, I don't know what to tell you. If your website looks like crap because your designer couldn't come up with a good fallback font that's still on the designer.

It's like "web colours" all over again. Web designers should work within the constraints of the user agent or they shouldn't design for the web, and one of those constraints is that the font doesn't always look exactly like the designer wants it to look. It's called a user agent for a reason, these days more and more because the source it's rendering is as anti-user as can be.

I have web fonts turned off because I'm sick of text shifting because the particular Arial-but-not-really font a website insists on got loaded in. I've also occasionally had to use reader mode because the "design" was very fancy but practically unreadable.
>I have a project in Things called "Blog post ideas" where I maintain an ever-growing list of topics to write about.

I've such a list. Currently at ~10K entries. At such high number it's actually counter productive as choosing from abundance of options requires more effort. The popularized term for this is paradox of choice. I wonder how M. Richard does it (https://matt-rickard.com/archive) and has written a single post every day for the past one-two years. Leaves me really impressed.

>It didn't reduce slave states' powers as much the alternatives of not permitting slavery (which would have been actually consistent with the preamble...)

Gosh, it would have been nice if the US had never had legal slavery. Thank you for that keen insight.

>or not counting slaves towards the level of representation their masters got in Congress at all

As you yourself said it was a compromise, between what the free and slave states wanted. Just like everything else in the Constitution, such as the Electoral College being a compromise between the large and small states. Such compromises made the Constitution possible, which in turn made possible the Bill of Rights and the post-Civil War amendments that ended said legal slavery.

The larger point is that the clause was not the means by which slaveholders wrote into the Constitution what their view of the value of a slave's life was, again because the clause reduced their political power.
TiKV is written in rust but then it depends on crates which use C and libc. Rust complements C, it is not an alternative to C, just another alternative to C++.

May be 20-30 years down the line, if it stays may be enough OS and libraries are built in native Rust without C then it might displace it, but at the moment Rust depends on C.
That's a terrible outlook. Mentally ill people (and in general the weakest in our society) still deserve representation, and there are no "vastly better" individuals. You're confusing education/health for inherent worth
Is there any secret unlisted playlist available of the talks?
I've simply never had an issue with this sort of thing in months of using co-pilot to be my fancy autocomplete. And if there was an issue I'd notice quickly enough, because I am still the primary pilot.

It is also great as a starting point for error messages, comments, etc.

I think the key is to still give a shit about the code you're writing.
Insane that something like "Diversity / Inclusion" is ranked as second when there are real issues with Rust (I say, as a Rust programmer that enjoys the lang).
Hypothesizing about a billion year old alien remnant is not Loch Ness monster, it’s just discussing statistics about a phenomena we have no good statistics for - except we know it’s plausible since we already know interstellar space is already populated by two probes launched by a civilization of sentient creatures. I’d say its a topic solidly in the domain of scientific inquiry, but it’s not well defined yet since people trying to discuss it are labeled loonies (reminds me of atom theory and plate tectonics- two phenomena which were prominently ridiculed as well). Of course, ”alien studies” is a domain that is quite hard at the moment-and may always remain so.

And sure, there is lots of crazy talk around the topic. But the fact we have people trying to invent perpetual motion machines does not make every thermodynamicist and machine engineer looney.
I don’t think it’s that simple. I got a loan against my Bitcoin at Blockfi last year, added more Bitcoins as collateral as price went down, and paying 13% interest rate. Another person can loan USD for 5-10% interest rate and Blockfi can manage payment timelines and put away money, just like a non-fractional bank would (for example the Norwegian thin bank).

The problem usually comes from the company loaning out my collateral. I would much prefer using a company that doesn’t loan out my BTC (but keeps it in a multisig wallet), but the best company that does this is US only.
I think it is more natural because it tackles things like exception handling in a new novel direction: Zero-overhead deterministic exceptions, among other things. He picks up all the things that clearly have great potential (and some have been proven to be very good in other languages) and is making a frontend for them.

Carbon, on the other hand, is just Google code standard as a frontend. No exceptions, weird naming schemes etc. It's like a coding guideline made language. The guys behind it clearly know performance though, so I am not saying it won't be that. But will it be a great language? I don't think it can compete with what Herb Sutter is trying to achieve. I am of course willing to be proven wrong.

See: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p07...
I still love that people put in the effort to translate AAI2. Initially it didn't even seem like it was going to happen because the game was designed to only display 2 lines of text at a time. English characters are less information dense than Japanese ones, so it was important that 3 lines be displayed at once.
Has anyone considered creating an extension like co-pilot that's trained on your own reddit/hn/twitter comments? Basically like an autocomplete for your own self.
I am no expert, but my off the cuff thought is that buying a gpy and trying to run it as an external for any of those machines will be pretty pointless.

First it probably won't work; certainly for the mac you will face driver issues that were beyond me the last time I tried (about three years ago). I suspect things are worse now... Nvidia have not been helpful. Probably you could get a radeon working as an egpu, but for ML you really need Nvida and Cuda (unless you are seriously into homebrewing code).

But the other issue is that you need to feed the beast - that is you need to pump data in and out of the GPU. For that you need a fairly fast CPU and fast ssd, and fast interconnects to the GPU. You also need power, a good power supply that can keep everything running -- including the fans... which need to be in a good box so that there is good airflow.. or quite quickly you will have no GPU!

Maybe build a box like this with a cheap nvidia GPU, get it working so you know that you have a viable rig, benchmark it to see if you are bottlenecked on the GPU (long time since I did this, so I'm not 100% how - but basically if the GPU is 90% for ages and everything else is sitting looking at it then that's a good sign). Then buy a top notch second hand (about £500 right now on ebay) and resell the cheap one. If you hit a hitch inbetween you know you have a problem to solve and haven't spent all your money. The extra points are for getting multiple GPU's running... again I did that in a corporate with supermicro boxes about 8 years ago and it drove me up the wall at the time... I suspect now it's possible to have 2 GPU's in a consumer box/motherboard but I am not sure what the state of play is.
I actually did skip those, I never made it that far.

I was using the page in C64 reader mode (due to the colors making it impossible for me to see anything) and so I never realized that the image to the right was actually an emulator, I thought it was just a screenshot.

My fault ^_^

Still though, in my opinion it'd then be better to skin the thing as something other than a C64 so as not to avoid the confuzion for no reason.
> Being a dificult language to work with (as in at the other end of niceness like say Ruby) it is not even justifyable as a hobby lang.

Obviously, there's a growing number of people who use Rust professionally, but that's not even the point to argue. Why would people need to "justify" their hobbies? Of course, it's perfectly fine if you don't care about the craft beyond "pay[ing] the bills". But others might, especially on a site called "Hacker News". Maybe let them discuss stuff they find personally interesting, whether those interests are "justified" according to your opinion or not.

I'd say, make a small thing that works. Then another, and another. They might start as independent little projects, but eventually can grow up into parts of a larger whole.
I have this weird thing where I don't eat at all alone. Eating is so social for me I'd rather not eat at all than eat by myself.

I have had terrible time to get over that with my current company, where everyone has different time slots for when they eat. I couldn't bear that and I will have to wait until I get back home so I can eat with my roommates.
Big Tech?

The power of their algorithms that decide who sees what content and when. The power to remove people from platforms that are competing to become de facto standards for communication, and to do so for reasons not limited to their legal obligations.
I agree that people aren't robots, but I disagree with the conclusion. People write ambiguous sentences very often, and I certainly appreciate a very simple rule that avoids needing people to pay mindful attention to list ambiguity.

What is the benefit to not having the oxford comma? Is there a tradeoff I'm missing here, or are people advocating to avoid it simply on the basis of "I don't like it"?
Django has it but most people end up building their own because it's highly domain specific.

The permissions framework is also so complicated that most projects don't use it.

At this point it's worth asking whether frameworks should even have built-in authentication when it's a simple matter of storing a session id in a cookie.
Not an expert but I'm pretty sure it'd be easily identifiable as artificial because of the uniform composition and regular grain structure in steel. I think it would not only be clear that it was refined because of purity but also that it was far more regular than something natural. [1]

I'm studying algorithms too right now.

As someone who sucks at maths and puzzle solving in general, Steve Skiena's book is proving to be quite approachable for me. Although I have to jump back and forth between the book and Khan Academy to look up some of the Maths.

He also has video lectures for the book: https://www3.cs.stonybrook.edu/~skiena/373/videos/

Another thing that helped me was brushing up on C programming skills. As a Python programmer, algorithms like hash maps don't make any sense because you just slap keys and values on a dictionary and call it a day but in C, you get to see how buckets and hash functions are used to build hash maps.
I used quotes to indicate I'm not talking about the war itself but about the surveillance state established in the aftermath of 9/11 (and shenanigans such as the pushing of mentally ill people into acts of terrorism they would never have committed without interference), which is the clear parallel politicians themselves want to draw when they say "war on domestic terror" (unless you believe they want to start another civil war by deploying troops in the states). Same as one would with "war on drugs".
This sounds like great work; been playing with graph dbs lately and it makes things easier. I was hoping though that there would be an effortless offline component to it though; maybe I missed it but there seems to be none? We have been trying to find a replacement for couch/pouch which gives the same convenience as that combo (besides setting up the right filters and permissions, everything works automatically). I see many people rolling (usually very hacky ‘cache invalidation’) solutions which require a lot of domain knowledge where pouch just works and querying server and client (mostly) the same way also lightens the load a lot. Couch is old and works very well, but, besides being very good at synching, it has a lot of downsides which we just ignored (which worked for us for a decade and very well at that), but with we are not good with couch (erlang) as rust/go/ts team and with the advances in webasm and anything-to-js, as well as having bucketloads of memory and storage on most non-iot (but even some of those if done with care) edge devices these days, you would think there would be a solution that allows me to do this outside couch/pouch. Of course here I forget to mention; although we would not mind paying for it, it needs to have an actual OSS license (not open core but apache/mit/bsd or whatnot). And yes, we might have a go at it ourselves but we are swamped at the moment.

Edit; the project has ‘eventual FOSS’ which I like as a concept and thought of doing myself; put milestones in place which can be externally verified which will trigger the license of the (semi) closed product to become fully foss.
With the second-largest cryptocurrency using PoS, do you really expect the PoW ones to stay profitable for more than a niche group? I'd expect people who want to actually use it for something else than speculating to move to the superior tech that doesn't contribute to climate change. At this point Bitcoin etc. would become no more than a betting platform.
I have no idea if it's still the case, but demonetized videos used to appear lower, or not at all, in the search.
