> Now, I'm advocating the third "technology", clear writing,

And you are doing it in a response to the obscure prose of Socrates. It shows one more time that Socrats' obscure prose make people think. Cleverer people than me and you read Socrates in a search of novel ideas. And you succeeded.

> and you're responding exactly like the very same ridiculed people: "Oh no, if people write clearly, then others won't get necessary practice in tolerating crappy prose! I'm a superior person who can parse crappy prose -- don't take that advantage from me!"

Yes. Do you think it makes me a bad person? I believe not: I did my best to explain you benefits of my skills and how to acquire them. I'm not so egoistic, I'm ready to share my wisdom with a random person without charging them money.

> Or because the point could have been made explicit, but wasn't.

Had you experience of deciphering such an obscure point? Did you feel the fun it gives? I cannot agree that everyone on every occasion must seek the maximum clarity, it would take away the fun.

> In any case, with this comment, you've indicated you've drunk the koolaid.

Wow. You've almost won. But no. I checked wikipedia and urbandictionary, and I know what you mean by "you've drunk the koolaid". Urbandictionary explains: "Kool-Aid" is what one drinks metaphorically, in the context of a political campaign, when faced with an eminent loss. The term was popularly referenced in the 1993 film, "The War Room" by George Stephonopolous when he states, "I'm afraid we're all going to have to drink Kool-Aid."

My skills of understanding are stronger than your skills of making yourself obscure by using references to a folklore. Though it was a nice attempt to win argument by using a form as a point. I like it, really. Much better than obscure Socrates' prose arguing that letters are easy. I can say even I'm a little frustrated to decipher it, because it would be a really good point, you deserved to win just for being able to use it.

> You're actually defending people making themselves harder to understand than necessary, rather than maturely accepting feedback on how to make your point clearer.

Why do you think they need your feedback? With all we know about them they can be better than you and me combined at making their point clear, but decided on this specific occasion to speak riddles.
That is not the lowest hanging fruit (where I would put trivial changes like inlining functions or switching an of-the-shelf library by a faster alternative). But it is medium-low hanging fruit.

Getting measurements that help you identify where the bottlenecks really are can take time. Often these have to be retrofitted into existing complex system, when the project is already underway.

Sometimes the only way forward is replacing the current way of doing things with a more efficient way of doing things. This requires understanding the current way well (it can be the result of many teams working together for months) as well as coming up with a new design. Both of these things take time.

Finally, there's bug hunting, where you get into rabbit holes. "There's a slowdown when we're on this particular step. You investigate for days, until you realize that the slowdown only happens when the user mouse is near a section of the screen. It turns out that there's a non-visible UI element that should be inactive but it isn't because it is a custom element instead of one provided by the UI library, and it is attempting to render a special effect but finds no graphical context, so it request for a new context once per frame." And one week of dev time has passed.
Yes and no. The £45 billion a year figure is how much the tax cuts will supposedly cost in some future tax year - 2025/6 or 2026/7 or sometime around then, well after the next general election. Also, I'm pretty sure most of that is from foregone tax increases that would've happened under the previous plans - both a direct increase in corporation tax planned for 2023 originally and a bunch of people moving into higher income tax bands through inflation decreasing the real value of the income tax thresholds. Of course, because those figures are in 2026 or whatever pounds and the cost of the energy subsidies are incurred much earlier than that, you also can't directly compare them because of inflation.

On the contrary, I like Apple’s Cmd for its location. It sits right under a thumb, and is less awkward to reach to than to Ctrl with a pinky. I liked it so much on Mac that I added Alt-W and similar Alt-variants of Ctrl-shortcuts to my PC browser and Vim. I also tried to switch Ctrl and Alt at a system level, but it didn’t feel right.
> Doesn’t it provoke your professional interest - how they managed to do it?

No, because that's not the hard part. Anyone can host a niche community "off grid" and make it profitable. It being niche is what enables that. It's not hard to get 2000 dedicated people to fuck around with crypto and side loading apps. It's basically impossible to get a critical mass of average people to do it.

Visa and Apple control their platforms by "offering" usability to the average person (mostly by taking away other easy options or out competing them with a moat). The only way the current crop of sites can fail now is if it becomes so bad that the censorship itself is more inconvenient than the difficult steps to work around mainstream infrastructure.

If something like Gab got to like 20-30% the size of Reddit and 99% of it's userbase was normal people doing normal people stuff then I'd be interested. Because before that point we're not going to see any real effort from the incumbents to stop them.

How completely obnoxious article. Frege was a tragic figure in philosophy, his work was recognized only through Russel and he is still very much ignored by the tradition he created. He answered the Russel paradox in the same way modern theory does, by introducing types, but instead of learning from him, especially the epistemological parts that are a relevant connection of analytical philosophy to kantianism, he was ignored and is for some reason ridiculed by the anglosphere tradition that know him only through Russel (the most overrated philosopher in history).
Yes, V2Ray VMess and ShadowSocks are the most reliable tools. They were fully tried and tested in China, where has a similiar issue.

Deploy a proxy server is the first step. Take the experiences from China:

1. Always try to pretend to be a normal traffic. Your ISP, DC, all the entities alongside your network, they will all try to detect you and ban/jail you. In China, they detect the symbol of unnormal traffic, record everyone using the default proxy port, training ML model to find proxy users. If your gov does not have the tech, I believe China Gov will surely exports them.

2. Always beaware about the help. Gov may publish some honeypot VPN to monitor the opponent. The public server or deployment script may have backdoor or virus.

That's a war never end.
If I can't send a TCP packet over it, it is not "Internet" IMHO. Combined with the extremely slow speeds these kind of networks really are their own thing.
> Is this a narrative they are pushing on state media there?

I don't believe so. In general, assholes who get their money from the government, create their own fake news which is even faker than what is published in the state media. Which makes sense, as the state media optimizes for everyone watching it, not just the bootlickers.

> regular VPN protocols

Naive, Hysteria, Trojan, VLESS, etc. seem to work. Of course, foreign servers are, at times like this, only accessible in datacenters, which means the protocol would be irrelevant.

I find the expectation that ^C puts me back into the debugging session with the target still alive a bit weird. I'd expect the target to handle it the normal way. If I wanted to temporarily halt the target, I'd use ^Z.

What are you loading them off? HDD? The only time I experienced a load time longer than a minute for any game was on a PS2 game that was scratched to high hell. It's possible that I'm simply interested in games that don't have long load times but I've played enough of modern AAA on console and PC to never have experienced this first hand.

Plenty of anicdata here - so here my 2p:
I started with Clojure about 5 years ago. Since then the community, tooling and job options have bloomed from my perspective. This could be an illusion caused by becoming gradually more immersed in it.

Clojure will not die for now, for the same reason that it remains nieche - it's a lisp. Arguably the only viable full stack web dev lisp. And lispers gonna lisp. If that speaks to you on a philosophical/aesthetic level then go for it, you will be in good company.

If you want to try to time the hype market then truly best of luck. However, I think choosing to invest in a language that works for you and your way of thinking will be a less fragile strategy.

I'll keep Clojuring for a while at least, because it's a pleasure. Because it lets me reason where other languages would have me memorise. I find memorising syntax tedious. It's not a silver bullet of course - some things just make more sense for to do in a c/rust type procedural language.
For someone invested in decentralized protocols, it just sounds like people trying to reinvent the wheel. "let’s make it decentralized" "wow, very cool idea".

Those guys are business guys but they have no idea what they are talking about. They don’t know the first bit about technical decentralization, about prior art, about the politics involved.

They are so close of realizing that their companies are Frankenstein monsters they don’t control anymore. They are so close of getting the whole idea that Stallman is trying to articulate for the late 40 years. But they are locked in their business/company/VC model and can’t get out of that.
> Now if this warrants deplatforming in the eyes of a resonable person

What warrants deplatforming is your straight up admitance that you had nothing to contribute, were not acting in good faith, and were just asking a question to attack someone.

[Jack Dorsey] "I believe it must be an open source protocol, funded by a foundation of sorts that doesn't own the protocol, only advances it. A bit like what Signal has done. It can't have an advertising model. Otherwise you have surface area that governments and advertisers will try to influence and control. If it has a centralized entity behind it, it will be attacked. This isn't complicated work, it just has to be done right so it's resilient to what has happened to twitter."

The stock market is a zero-sum game. Every single penny taken out was a penny put in. Money going in is people's pensions, largely.

As a society, we like to reward people who do things that are useful: feed, house, clothe, warm, transport, educate, protect, medicate, lately amuse people, and get money that may be exchanged for those services, or yachts.

HFT traders provide none of those, nor anything comparable, but get yachts anyway.

Clive James led off an essay by suggesting that there was a buddy movie to be made around Wittgenstein and Russell. He was joking, but part of the joke is that their fame much outran any engagement with or even interest in their philosophical work. I don't think that leaving little memory beyond the work is a bad thing. What does it add to one's understanding of Kant to know a few anecdotes about the regularity of his life.

One can regret the opinions in Frege's diaries without it affecting what one thinks about the work.

This item of Musk v. Twitter gossip finally made me empathise with all the people complaining about the “…in Rust” links
But the public -- pensioners and future pensioners -- are embarking in the risk/profit side of things. We want to fund our pension with less money than we ultimately take out, and additionally have guaranteed outflows regardless of market conditions. To put it shortly, we want profit.

The average pensioner may not understand that they were joining in a risky undertaking. Whose fault that is I could not even begin to suggest -- too many possible candidates depending on your world view. But a lack of understanding will avail you little when your counterparty is the fundamental financial reality that there is no free lunch.

As annoying as it is that the bankers made a bunch of money, the alternative, where all pension monies go into a savings account, would leave people much less happy.
Most criminals are never caught. There is lots more crime going on than you might think. A lot of academics and journalists present crime as 100% captured by official statistics. Prosecutors do a lot of prioritizing.

Drug crime gets a lot of attention because the statutes are written in a way that makes the crimes very easy to prove. It’s far easier to prove the elements of a drug possession charge than it is to prosecute something like fraud.
what an arrogant proposition. That's so many things that use energy that have zero value subjectively speaking. But nobody suggests people don't do those things. I'm not even going to list some of the for sake of being called a hypocrite.

Whats even more insulting. Is people abusing Bitcoin's transparency and deterministic features to spit facts. All while they partake in their guilty pleasures. Pleasures who's energy usage we can't even begin to quantify.

And to add insult to injury their are an estimated 1.8 billion people in the world that do not have bank accounts due to things like fees and minimum balances or failed states. It's estimated there are 55 million in the US alone.

But you know what? screw those people who can self bank using Bitcoin at zero cost and zero maintenance fees. Because you simply don't see value in that.
Indeed because under normal circumstances I would assume these bonds are mostly held to maturity. But why do they have to sell them now? I was under the impression it was to cover some margin calls.

And to your point about broken yield curve… to some extend I agree that governments should step in when there are technical liquidity issues (i.e there is temporarily not enough money to go around but all business is sound) but at some point you have to wonder if there is no liquidity simply because no one wishes to buy these assets in the current market.

We may not remember but interest rates have been above 10% before, and with inflation where it is at now, it might simply be that the market expects yield to go up significantly in the near future thus it would make sense for the yield curve to invert. Is it then that BoE is solving liquidity issues or again bailing out failing pension schemes? I don’t know of course it’s just a bit smelly.

The thing is even if you can make a machine reproduce it, it's missing the human component, and the fact that you (I) know it's not human made already degrades the experience.

What AI gives you is a mash up, a mix of people's intent, a mix of people's feelings. What I want is the result of a singular person expressing his singularity though his work, I don't want the "average of the best" music or the "average of the best picture". This is good for content creation, when you need to pump out the maximum amount of "content" for people to "consume" (see marvel, netflix&co), but not for art

Art that leave a mark is always weird/quirky/personal/deep/&c. the fact that a machine can replicate the result removes the most interesting part of the equation, the human part. It's like making your own bread vs buying supermarket bread, the later is cheaper and faster, it might even taste better if you fucked it up, but it's a complete different experience
