> Censorship is all these characters need to gain new followers.

No, they also need a platform to make people aware of their existence, their views, and to recast their censorship to be in their favour. The whole point of no-platforming individuals is to make a statement that their views are seen as reprehensible and to stop them from being able to air those views to an audience.

Not all ideological disputes are about rational argumentation, many are based in a fundamental misalignment of values. Those value-based disputes cannot be resolved by open and civil discourse alone, and we know that racists have a tendency to abuse such spaces through techniques such as emotional rhetoric and Gish galloping.
> You get used to it.

You do. The single most important factor is "what does the dough feel like - how stiff and hard, or how loose and wet?"

The water % captures this in 1 number.

e.g. A 60% hydration pizza dough is much stiffer than a 80% hydration focaccia dough.

Just by seeing that one number, I get an idea of how the dough is going to be to work with.
Odd how you've been downvoted when what you say is true of literally the first item on the list...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayre%27s_law

Sayre's law states, in a formulation quoted by Charles Philip Issawi: "In any dispute the intensity of feeling is inversely proportional to the value of the issues at stake." By way of corollary, it adds: "That is why academic politics are so bitter."
A bit messy though.
I agree 100%. Massive frameworks with massive complexity. I don't enjoy them at all. That's one reason I like Go. It's very modern, but I can still use vim and a simple Makefile to control it.
What are the consequences though?? Can they just submit a statement that says it doesn't?
It's missing a lot of context.
Yes, but we all have typewriters in our pocket these days.
Why is getting better benefits and perks deemed worthy of derision rather than an admission that most employees in the world are treated like garbage?

They aren't being completely exploited by their companies so they deserve to be taken down a peg to the sorry state you're in?
How is this context? Also how is it "wise" to get the definition of "safe" wrong while acting like a pedant?
Apollo Domain/OS was a distributed environment that was the birth place of some of the technologies underlying DCE. POSIX threads and Microsoft COM directly trace their roots to this. Apollo was a big player in the development of DCE (Distributed Computing Environment) bringing in important pieces.
Who "has to" put up with Linus? Linux is open-source software.

People who feel they are putting up with Linus can just `cp linux/ betterlinux/`. If it's actually better and Linus was holding things back by being an insufferabe cunt, they can expect a huge amount of people to switch to their fork as well.
> There is no "market" serving people, only other people do.

People follow rules of the market. Market is those rules. "The market isn't real" isn't really an argument here, when you're using the mechanisms of the market itself as an argument.

> Are you proposing to force them to serve cheaper or perhaps for free?

No, I'm proposing we stop people from opportunistically extracting value without bringing any.

If you're an artist, and want to price your tickets at 1000$, and people still buy it - more power to you. If I want a cheaper show, I'll wait for another band I like to make a cheaper show.

But if you're a scalper who buys all the 10$ tickets to a show, then resells them at 100$ - effectively removing the choice of even attending a 10$ show - then you should be stopped, and, if possible, punished by law, as you're only extracting value without providing any.

The businessman philosophy of "let's price things as much as we can get away with" inevitably leads to standards of living getting shittier and shittier. Isn't the whole argument of capitalism that "competition will create abundance"? Add scalpers to the equation, and the whole argument goes down the drain. Scalping is philosophically inconsistent with capitalism.

Setting aside the question of whether the truth should be suppressed because of consequences, this kind of research could very easily be beneficial.

Suppose you find out that the green people from East Arbitria are less productive. The immediate effect is that an innocent objective employer who being tried for discrimination or hated by a community no longer has to suffer- the cruelty of the universe is no longer being made anyone's fault. The secondary effect is that we now have grounds to investigate why Arbitrarians have that disadvantage. Maybe green people have a harder time metabolizing a nutrient; a non-issue with the diet/climate/lifestyle of Arbitria. An update to health recommendations later and millions of people's lives are improved.
Where have you encountered this critique? I didn't find it in the article.

Because it doesn't affect everyone to the same degree. What you describe sounds really severe (and I don't doubt it) - but for example I'm personally way at the other end of the spectrum: I can easily spend hours in VR, and I can think of only one game that ever made me even slightly motion sick.
Or if you redefine the technology. That's the way it usually happens: "Android Gingerbread has 1% market share. 2%. 4%. 8%. 16%, better introduce Android KitKat. 32%. 64%, but look KitKat is now at 4% and climbing exponentially! Gingerbread is now deprecated, KitKat is on a majority of devices, time to introduce Lollipop."

Come to think of it, this applies to a lot of Google's (and Microsoft's, and Apple's, and most tech companies') product strategy.
My point is not that I don't care, or that nobody cares about achievements, it's that not everybody cares about achievements. My point is that Stadia and its equivalents have a place in the market for at least some people.
Doesn't use git-annex like DataLad. That alone is a huge benefit given the state of that tool.
Show HN: Script and Live Code Ableton Live in Scheme Lisp
Scheme for Max is a free and open-source extension to Max/MSP that enables you to script and live-code Max and Ableton Live using s7 Scheme Lisp. You can use s4m for live-coding, building sequencers, generative music, scripting the Live API, making control surfaces, and lots more! In the video I demonstrate the example Ableton Live devices included in Scheme for Max 0.4

It's required by company policy. Otherwise the comments could be seen as astroturfing. The policy is so strict that it specifically says you need to put a disclosure in every individual tweet, a disclosure in your Twitter bio isn't sufficient. I think that part of the rule is broken frequently though.
Back here in reality, about 10% of Brits pay for private health care on top of the NHS, despite that they're forced to pay for the NHS as well, so that is in no way uniformally rejecting it.

"because they don’t think you should pay for something as basic as healthcare."

Everyone pays for the NHS. The idea you don't pay is obviously wrong, you just pay in different ways and at different times.

No, the relatively low proportion (compared to other countries) is not due to some moral superiority of the British, but because the government monopolizes healthcare and forces people to pay for their service via taxes. Given how expensive healthcare is very few people can afford to pay for it twice.

The NHS' supporters are always like this - trying to present support for it as a moral issue. It never was. The NHS isn't a moral issue, it's a bureaucracy for managing resource allocation. People warned for many years that such a system could never be reliable and would eventually collapse. They were ignored and now it's too late, the collapse has happened. Not because of the current government: Labour supported the policies that triggered the collapse even more strongly than the current government did. It's collapsed simply because it was inevitable.
From most users’ points of view, a lot of things the kernel does (e.g. a sound card driver) are non-critical so they’d prefer an error in that driver only killed that driver and not the whole kernel. Similarly, I’d be upset if a server rebooted because of a blip in its CD-ROM driver. And if you can just reload the module which errored, all the better.

It would be cool if kernel Rust could implement a panic handler which just killed the offending module, but I’m assuming from the discussion around panics that this isn’t possible.
That’s because C and Fortran also continue to benefit from all the compiler research?
One of the amici in the case has a poignant example of how insane fair use. In their brief (https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/21/21-869/227996/2022...), on page 28, they have the example in the case in question (which the 2nd Circuit ruled was not fair use), as well as another example from another case... which the 2nd Circuit ruled was fair use, and reaffirmed that it was fair use in the question. Despite the transformations in the two cases being almost identical.

Madness.

I gave conditions upon which testing for equality is correct.

Classic Linus.

From the closing paragraph, I feel like he’s under the impression that Rust-advocating contributors are putting Rust’s interests (e.g. “legitimizing it” by getting it in the kernel) above the kernel itself.

“Rust is safe” is generally the same thing as saying “I like strongly typed languages”.

None of that is going to save us from bad code.

Some of the biggest systems that run the world are not written with either safe code nor strongly typed languages.

Yes I would say strongly typed languages and memory safe languages help make coding easier and indeed save time and some bugs.

But when you get past making the kinds of errors that cause memory problems or bad types…

You are still left with 95% of the bugs and logic errors anyway.

Still, 5% savings in productivity is not nothing.

I started programming professionally in the late 1980's (almost a half century ago :-)... and we had IDE's, UI builders, databases, "resource managers", etc. One the UI side, we had to deal with windows, layouts, menus, event loops, controllers, graphs, etc, etc, etc. Pretty much everything you have to deal with today. It was, IMO, just as complicated (if in a somewhat different way).

Yes, most commercial software packages were written in C. They certainly weren't in one file. They were large systems that took hundreds, sometimes thousands of files and 100k's to millions of lines of code. If anything, we had to write more code to do things because pre-packaged libraries weren't as comprehensive back then. I still remember waiting hours and hours for our application to build. And the old timers told us that that was blazingly fast, lol.

I would agree with a previous poster that there are many more choices today. And I guess if you suffer from a fear of making the wrong choice, that is a problem. But the other side of that is that literally thousands and thousands of examples and even robust code libraries are now available for free that you can drop in and use. That is a HUGE plus.
Because a lot people disagree with you. It’s not a conspiracy, your take just isn’t popular.
Testdisk is essentially about partitions/volumes.

Photorec is about files only.

They are both vey good at what they are supposed to do, but in your case Testdisk is not suited and Photorec represents a last attempt as recovered files are carved, basically you will lose not only directory structures, but also filenames and metadata.

Academic societies can have whatever ideologies they wish. Go present at a conference that doesn't have an ideology you don't have. That's true freedom. This is the same thing as Trump complaining about being banned from twitter. It's anti-capitalism and anti-freedom.

Sure, I don't disagree that Javascript also has some staying power.

But I suppose if you look at the web programming stack and its history (which helps explain how stupid and nonsensical it is) I'll bet that in the long run HTML and SQL stick around longer as a part, even when they're perhaps not very "good?"

As in, a good bit of the energy around Javascript is "dealing with its extreme shortcomings directly in a way that implies possible replacement?" Like, transpiling feels different from layering on top. And people transpile Javascript, but layer on top of HTML? Something like that.

> I can't remember if it also came with a debugger and a way to create stand-alone executable, or if that came later.

It didn’t, it came earlier: QBasic was (and is, it stopped being part of the default install with Win2k but is still available for current Windows OSs) a stripped down interpreter-only version of QuickBASIC, a compiled BASIC.
I’ve been using Rust for a while, and I’m so, so tired of hearing this argument.

Yes, we know. We get it. Rust is not an absolute guarantee of safety and doesn’t protect us from all the bugs. This is obvious and well-known to anyone actually using Rust.

At this point, the argument feels like some sort of ideological debate happening outside the realm of actually getting work done. It feels like any time someone says that Rust defends against certain types of safety errors, someone feels obligated to pop out of the background and remind everyone that it doesn’t protect against every code safety issue.
It's far more complicated, because the expectations are different.

Once upon a time, "UI" was "print the output to a file".

Then it was some interconnected CICS screens.

Then it was some interconnected web pages.

Now it's some interconnected web pages that also display properly on mobile devices, that display in the user's chosen language (and numeric format), that displays properly no matter the user's screen size, that hopefully allows blind users to use a screen reader, that respects Europe's privacy laws, that has good security...

It's easier now because we have better tools. It's harder now because the baseline expectations are so much higher.

I gave up handwriting in cursive in my late high school days as it was substantially more readable for both myself and for the teachers who had to grade my work. It's not uncommon, I think print had a good 30% share by the end of it.

As for my coworker's notes these days, I'd say print has a majority even, but in these days most people use computer documents instead of handwritten anyway.

Yes, dumb terminals in the spirit, since they are used by most as mere bootloader for a WebVM who is just a way to render a remote application... While incredibly complicated (more than complex) is just the mainframe+dumb terminals model.

My point here is why the hell tie our external masculine genitals to someone else computer and layer crap o crap investing gazillion of resources to make the monster work well enough to be used instead of rediscovering the classic networked desktops model like the one Xerox propose many decades ago?

Oh, sure surveillance capitalism... But are we really so dumb in mean to keep this crap stand?

Have y'all considered that this is what the "talking" looks like?

I see a whole bunch of noise about "CENSORSHIP IS RAMPANT!" and I'm kind of like, no silly -- this noise IS the signal.
It used to be way worse than that, but yes you're right.
Ah I see. That's a fair point!

When talking about this kind of stuff to people who are unfamiliar with, say, lock-freedom, I've found that "non-determinism" is too vague --- people start thinking about things like randomness, or user interaction, etc. In contrast, the term "race condition" seems to hit the nail on the head.

But certainly, "race condition" also carries with it a bit of baggage ;)
I'm not sure that this is really a problem. The sample of "57 college students that we forced to participate" is a bane of psychology research even if we ignore the racism angle. So what's wrong with writing a paragraph about how you took pains to get a representative sample?

The Tesla bot was wheeled out on stage by three people, because the team wasn't sure if it could walk on its own.

I don't really understand the point you're trying to make here.

The author of this piece is essentially saying "we don't know what Andy Warhol would've done if the roles were reversed," which is unassailably true since he was dead for over 30 years before this lawsuit was filed and, to my knowledge, never initiated any similar lawsuits of his own during his life.

Regardless of which party moved first, neither party is Andy Warhol and so the original question remains impossible to answer.
I see "egalitarianism" as "equality of opportunity". That, and "equality before the law".

But even with the same starting conditions/talent/upbringing/genes, some people will climb further than others. Effort, creativity, etc. We as society should encourage that and reward people who achieve more, for the common benefit of all.

To anyone persuaded by this argument: consider that net utility could undoubtedly be increased by any number of redistributions of your net worth. In fact, it would arguably be easier to make this case than the one for the work in question.

If the Warhol Foundation wishes to make this utility argument, it should first put all Warhol’s work into the public domain.
