I think is part of a bigger problem, maybe related to how people learn to write. In the school and university, the paperwork that comes with science projects, for example, gets better notes (or at least puts the TA in better humor) if it is "pimped" with graphs, pictures, etc.

If you make a sober, LaTeX report, TAs are usually not impressed. Not always, but I've seen some ridiculous things...
There's a huge difference between people being booted off proprietary hosting systems (Cloudflare) or platforms (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) and censorship at the IP and BGP level with deep packet inspection and real time filtering.

The Internet in the USA and much of the world remains pretty damn neutral. It doesn't care much what bits you send over it. That's not the case in China, Russia, and a number of other more authoritarian countries.

We can encrypt everything of course, but if the censorship is at the wire level that may not be enough. Using meta-data, IPs tied to identities, and loads of other information sources it's possible to dynamically filter content and people by inference.

Treesitter isn’t for me; it’s slower to open files

I certainly haven’t experienced any slowness with opening files with Neovim with Treesitter. It certainly enables much better syntax highlighting, among other things [1]. If anything, it’s faster than the regex-based syntax highlighting that Vim traditionally used.

CoC is a 3rd party LSP plugin that works with Vim and Neovim.

Punctuated equilibrium (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuated_equilibrium) is an evolutionary hypothesis that evolution is very slow, except when selection pressures change. If true, the average speed of evolution (in this case, of phenotype) is slow, but highly bimodal (i.e., breakneck or near zero).
It's not just that distribution is free, it's that newspapers lost their monopoly on much of their content with the advent of the internet. Classifieds? Craigslist/Angie's List will serve you better results. Comics? Reddit's r/all has better memes. Sports/world news? A local paper can't possibly compete with the larger organizations in terms of coverage and quality.

There's just not much left that local papers are specifically the best at (I think Cuban calls it a 'core competency'). I think there's definitely a market for re-calibrating reader expectations by rebranding from being a newspaper to being a brochure or pamphlet.

That can't be true. Why would a compiler use memory access to do math? Math operations are register based, none of the quantities are addresses.

>Neovim ... supports LUA script for config and plugins

Except it doesn't really. Or at least it's very basic. I'll re-post a comment I made on this, when it was discussed a while back [0]

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32624308

----

I've been using Neovim for several years now. Not for any real reason, other than "Let's try 'new & shiny'" when it first emerged.
Last week I thought I'd finally get round to converting my existing Neovim init.vim config [which had itself been inherited and developed from my earlier Vim .vimrc one] to Lua [not a language I'd ever used before. But the syntax looked fairly straightforward].

What a waste of time! The easy stuff [enabling/disabling various options] was easy. But then it's easy in Vimscript too. The difficult stuff [defining autocmds, managing my plugins] was either completely ignored in every single "convert your init.vim to to init.lua" tutorial I read... or required wrapping the existing Vimscript block in

vim.cmd[[ ... ]]

in Lua because Neovim's Lua support can't yet do a lot of this stuff natively. Oh, and this also had the brilliant side-effect of removing syntax highlighting from great swathes of my config file as everything inside vim.cmd[[ ... ]] is rendered as a comment.
I spent the best part of a day wrestling with converting to init.lua, left it overnight and then, in the morning thought Why the fuck am I wasting time trying to beat this into shape, when my existing vim.init is already set up exactly how I want it?" and I reverted back to good ol' crusty ol' unfashionable Vimscript.

YMMV if you're actively developing plugins and want to use a more widely utilised language to write them in. But for configuring Neovim itself, Lua is more hassle than it's worth.
This is a big piece of the solution for street charging. Another piece would be mandated chargers at retail parking lots. Start with 5% of parking spots and increase that percentage as EV sales grow.
The amazing thing about this story is how CEO Devin Wenig - who so bothered by the couple's blog that he indicated his eBay team should do something about it - not only escaped the same fate as his underlings, but also still serves on the boards of GM and Salesforce.

I hope the victims' civil RICO case finds truth and justice where the criminal investigations came up short.
So, I do use Firefox.

But for a windows domain environment Edge makes sense.

- Comes builtin, no need to patch browsers separately and worry about outdated Google Chrome installs in a 1000+ computer fleet.

- Integrates with Office 365 that the company already use/pay for.

- Can be managed with policy over Office 365 or Intune

- Has IE Enterprise Mode for the old apps that need IE11

For Teams, the alternative is this:

- Pay for Zoom AND Slack AND Office 365 AND have IT personell manage all 3

- Pay for Gsuite and use... hangouts?

or

- Just pay for Office 365 and get email, fileshare, office suite and chat/fileshare/video tool all in one that works "fine" and can be managed all in admin.microsoft.com (that goes into 500 different portals that all change each month but I digress...)

Oh, and you can use whatever browser, even if its not the default. I use Firefox but Edge is the default one.
Chrome owns the internet because people like Brave don't develop their own browser engine.
It could make sense to obfuscate the localpart a bit more, e.g. add some prefix or suffix. Some spammers combine localparts of one address with the domain of another address, and there are probably quite a number of people using amazon.co.uk@theirdomain; it’s sufficient that one of them leaked their contact list/address book.
Great summary - just to add my 2 cents, I find Midjourney is far better than DALL-E 2 for creating 'artistic' / visually appealing images. DALL-E 2 actually struggles sometimes to be un-realistic, whereas MidJourney has no trouble being a bit weirder / out there.
Not quite. A meteor is an object with no drive or desire. Attackers are adversarial and thoughtful. You can't liken a random event to a purposeful act like this.

It's more like saying "refusing to leave your house because you're worried you might get mugged", which might actually be very reasonable if you live in a bad neighborhood, you're a common target of crime, etc. It may not be reasonable for many others.

But analogies are pretty rough in general.

I've been trying to program computers since I first got my hands on one. Once, when the family PC broke, it came back from the repair shop with a christmas card having been pulled from deep inside the floppy drive, because I was playing at operating it. I was probably 5. I made my first web page in the mid-nineties as a pre-teen. Eventually I got a BS in Computer Science, did lots of full-stack development and went on to manage Infrastructure teams first for Yelp and then for Uber. I wrote key pieces of software at both companies, used to manage probably petabytes of data and provide core functionality to tens - hundreds? - of millions of people. And I managed teams that took that even further.

But my earlier forays - writing macro bots on AOL and messing with the eggdrop source code on IRC - were just as meaningful; they hold the same place in my heart, even if they didn't have the same commercial success.

For me, my love of programming has never been about the value delivered. I've never really cared, in my heart, about how meaningful the product was (which is not to say I didn't make career decisions to optimize for that).

There are three things that have always driven me.

The first is an appreciation for the aesthetic elegance of a finely written program. A good source file is like a poem to me; even the paragraphing is part of the code, and I take great pride in crafting it. I never learned to draw or sculpt, but I poured a lot of what I think is a similar energy into my code.

The second is a sort of visceral awe for the speed with which a computer can do something, once I've given it sufficiently elegant instructions. I remember downloading the complete works of Shakespeare off Project Gutenberg in university, and feeding it into a word count program I had written for an intro programming class, and it spat out an answer in less than half a second. Every single word written by the greatest artist of the English language, boiled down to an integer in less than the time it takes a clock to tick. If I hadn't already been sold, that moment would've done it. What power!

And then lastly, I've always appreciated that outside of academia, programming is just a tool to accomplish some other task. I've worked in multiple industries that I wouldn't have known anything about otherwise, because I am skilled operator of a very versatile tool. I have my craft, and I get to apply to a myriad of problems, and that has helped me to build my "ocean" of knowledge an inch deep, which is a source of joy for me.
The obvious answer is working on non user facing features. Advertising platform, infrastructure, harmful content filters, propaganda as a service, etc etc
The reason people live in coastal regions is because there are outsized economic benefits to the hinterlands that may outweigh the damage these storms inflict. The interface between land and sea is crucially important for the survival of civilization at our scale.

Under "2 and done", do you restore critical port infrastructure to dunes if they get destroyed by a hurricane twice? Port infrastructure can't exist on its own, it needs a community behind it which needs schools, parks, houses, etc.

This is a problem that the insurance industry will need figure out so they can price risk to the area that's wiped out, the way the home is constructed, etc.

In my mind the debate is how FEMA subsidies will distort the insurance markets. Perhaps they could serve as a "2 and done" re-re-insurance provider?

A great counterpoint to this argument is that an insurance oligopoly might "price gouge" after a big event like Ian, which could kill the community that's needed to support the vital port infrastructure. Ultimately if FEMA subsidies were removed from the picture, shipping costs would increase to price in the risk of hurricanes for the area. Either way we're all paying for it somehow.

This kind of therapy dates back to the late 1800's when William Coley began experimenting with injecting "toxins" - thus "Coley's Toxins" - directly into tumors. [1] At first, the story goes, he did not know about attenuating (killing) the toxins, so, while he got the response he wanted on the tumor - the immune system got really riled up and took it out - he also lost the patient to the disease he injected. Over time, they learned how to attenuate the toxin.

A set of satellites that could do laser ablation of debris or EOL sats would be great, but would need safeguards to not become a weapon of economics or war.

Avoiding splash-over or collateral damage to other sats in or near the line-of-sight would be an issue, especially if any of those other sats might have capabilities that their nation/owner might want to keep secret.
Perhaps an arrangement of vetos over particular ablation shots would suffice.
Countries wanting to hide their interests in some sats could veto N times as many shots as needed, making uncovering which sats are special more difficult.

In any case, laser ablation would need much less delta-V than the usual imagery of plucky space-cowboys chasing errant sats with a net, or some such. Who knew that _Planetes_ would have such a strong effect on our collective imagination.
Dumb question; what's an msi installer?
To summarize the data about race and ethnicity:

Blacks are the fattest group, followed by hispanics, American indians or Alaska natives, whites, and finally, Asians.

This is easily explainable: blacks and hispanics have the lowest incomes and least healthy diets. Whites and Asians are the opposite.
> the VPN will automatically connect when you’re using public Wi-Fi or browsing unsecured networks and sites lacking a valid HTTP certificate.

OK, that's actually a pretty decent idea. It's not going to be always-on, but it's providing security specifically for things like coffeeshops/libraries and for sites that don't provide their own security. In other words, it's "backup security", not rerouting all of your "normal" secure traffic at work/home.

This mainly protects sites you visit from having JavaScript injected into them by networks when there aren't any other protections, and the VPN is run by Cloudflare so it will be performant, so I don't really see any problems here? Seems like a positive development actually.

Medtronic shouldn't be able to get away with just saying, turn off remote bolusing to be secure. I hope they get a class-action suit.

Background: Medtronic is a money-hungry company. I've been using their insulin pumps for 15 years. Over the years the quality of their infusion sets dropped, they no longer provide a cap (the thing you put on to close the catheter before you shower) with each infusion set, rather than they put only one cap in a 10x bag. The infusion sets started to fail after 2 days (the default timespan is 3 days), whereas it used to last 4-5 days before.
It's vague. How does it "perform well"? Does it mean "faster"? "smaller"? Why not use a word that's not only more specific and well-known, but faster to read and pronounce?

That's not actually slander/libel. Truth is an absolute defence, and that does not require you to disclose details up front. You'd only need to demonstrate truth to defend yourself if sued.

If earthquakes strong enough to destroy many buildings happen in the same location every five or 10 years, then yes, that area should be considered uninhabitable.

For a good look at type theory and its relationship to operational semantics in particular, Pierce's Types and Programming Languages is the classic. I suspect Harper's Practical Foundations for Programming Languages has a similar approach though I've not read it.
Or hardened against that type of damage.

After floods or wildfires or tornadoes or earthquakes, you'll see some buildings are a pile of rubble and others just need brushed off.

These locales should be making these requirements a part of their building codes. But I suspect they are addicted to FEMA money and actually prefer having local stimulus in their economies every few years.
It doesn't "imply" tracking transactions rather specifically says they aren't going to track transactions. From your own quote:

> The IRS wouldn't receive details on individual transactions but, rather, gross yearly totals.

The banks will just have to provide a total account breakdown, e.g.:

John Doe 2022 - Account 1 Report: $10,000 to foreign banks, $6,000 received in cash, $3,000 sent to John Doe Account 2.
In other words, the doormat strategy. We already tried it with Crimea, it doesn’t work. Do you think Putin would be content with half of Ukraine? Will you keep groveling as he takes more and more?

Is this a manual process, generally?

I was wondering if someone(s) consume data feeds from local govts. Stuff like permitting, licensing, change-of-address.

I ask because it seems that I'll idly spot a business, while driving around, that I'm sure didn't turn up in a search. (I mostly use Apple Maps.)

Then I thought "surely adding new listings could be automated".

My next thought was "well, just because it's in the database doesn't mean Apple, Google, Yelp will show it".
Yes it generally is. Look at this fragment where Nick Lanes (British Biochemist) talks a little about this. If you don't know Nick Lane, his books are fantastic. I highly recommend Power, Sex and Suicide.
