I did an ultra running race that took 37 hours last month. I got maybe 10minutes sleep. I had hallucinated before during (shorter) long races but I had no idea that auditory hallucinations [1] were a thing. it was trippy "hearing" things for a solid 12 hours - mainly off-trail "voices" and the sound of "runners" approaching behind me. No matter how many times I stepped to the side to allow a non-existant runner go by, I kept doing it. It was that realistic

I believe that there is a time, a place, and a proper amount of just about everything, including toxicity. People who wish to interact with 4Chan and its culture need to understand what it really is. The anonymity affords unfiltered reaction and you should never expect your posts to be treated with the kind of social norms that non-anonymous and pseudo-anonymous platforms provide. While the default experience is to have your posts largely ignored, if you actually want honest and unvarnished opinions on your idea then 4Chan is the place to solicit it. As long as people go in with the understanding that nothing posted there should ever be taken seriously and that it functions as counter-cultural catharsis, the perceived toxicity becomes a feature, not a bug.

Regarding citation #1: I'm a Rust learner myself, so this is something that's rather salient for me. What do you think about the "boxing errors[1]" approach? This strikes me as one possible way you could bubble up dependency errors without being forced to deal with type conversions.

States have an unspoken (but true) interest in lotteries because they are an important pacifying force. As long as a multitude believe there is a magical way out, they will not rise up and riot. State run lotteries really took off after the revolutionary fervor in the early 1800s, it's not a coincidence.

Paradoxically, there's generally a second but equally required counterforce to sustain the hypnosis. A constant drip-drip of content about how money doesn't really cause happiness. Hence, frequent news stories about lottery winners blowing through their winnings or losing friends and family in the subsequent strife. This is to make the status-quo (aka reality) tolerable, it's the soothing balm.

It's really absolutely shameful. 100% agreed, lotteries need to be banned, except for trivialities like school raffles or bingo or what have you.

Just want to note that the novel noted in the first post, The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, is a great read. I think I read it after seeing it recommended in Mary Robinette Kowal's Lady Astronaut series, but it's a nice balance of technical and science fiction with politics, almost like a condensed version of KSR's Mars Trilogy. It's mostly (not entirely) devoid of the more typical Heinlein sexism/objectification.

This is just not true.
There are no comments/voice on the AA side because they are likely 'accidentally' dodging labor laws (by laying obligation of checking legality on the attendants) through obfuscation of this data. That seems a large part of why it's become a 'must-have.' That kind of behavior merits this relatively 'soft' one-sided take in my opinion.
Pick one and I'd be happy to ask if it's more deserving than all the rest.
I'm a fairly strong libertarian, but moderation is more or less a mandate in the face of malware distribution, if from nothing but strictly reducing potential legal liability. I think the challenge from a site owner/operator's perspective ultimately boils down to how one chooses to defines the term "harm".

Greater transparency, with clear examples of what is allowed, and what is not allowed for each category of moderation would probably be helpful for more sites to implement.
That may work if you're a known entity who is known to be an expert on the subject, but for an anonymous forum, just saying "you're wrong" without any explanation is stupid and useless.

Just because bad actors can take advantage of a more expansive idea of privilege and victimhood does not mean it's a bad thing. If anything, it exposes those who take advantage as exactly the type of people the article is talking about. Although some people may successfully use the queer label, or any other label, disingenuously as a shield or a weapon, I'd consider that most of the time those abuses are transparent and draw ire from people who more genuinely align with a stigmatized label. In other words, it's a somewhat self-correcting problem. There will always be people who take advantage. Let's not let them ruin it for the rest of us.

In the end you end up with the same problem. All the "exterminate the jews" types go to the free speech platforms at which point everyone else leaves, even if the people with the ideas that aren't liked are using respectful language. It's not just the bad faith and trolling that make people want to leave the site, it's the base level ideas of the people who have been moderated off other platforms.

> “Americans spend more on lottery tickets every year than on cigarettes, coffee, or smartphones,” Cohen writes, “and they spend more on lottery tickets annually than on video streaming services, concert tickets, books, and movie tickets combined.”

That's amazing if true, though it sounds unbelievable to me. Given the other statistic that "[o]ne in two American adults buys a lottery ticket at least once a year, one in four buys one at least once a month" the avid players at the edge must be spending a heck of a lot for that to add up...

I don't gamble at all, but I tend to think of lottery tickets as pretty harmless. I've never seen anybody show up to a gas station and buy more than a few dollars worth of tickets, though I'm sure there are outliers who would. It's just hard for me to credit this given my back of the envelope math and personal experience. Hopefully the actual book has citations and I can check on it.

Plan to use YMTC? I thought Apple was moving away from China. /s

I mean I have been repeatedly stating this. Apple is doubling down on Chinese Supply Chain. There is no sign of Apple doing otherwise. The only difference is Assembly location.

I guess the export restriction forbids Apple to even buy anything from YMTC. Which means Apple cant even ( as they very likely will want to do ) have YMTC NAND for Chinese market.

Next is probably BOE. Where Apple would want BOE OLED for Chinese market.

This is nonsense.

This would be like claiming you have to use a company-sponsored to-do list app, or a company-sponsored git client, or a company-sponsored text editor, or a company-sponsored FTP client.

Byte order marks are a simple hack that makes the overall situation worse.

How does one concatenate two text files? You have to use a special tool to put them together now, or maybe the OS does it, just like adding "alternate streams" or "forks" to a file means that "copy a file" is now an operating system function.

Windows seems to carry a lot of this kind of baggage around: carriage-return/linefeed line endings means you don't absolutely have to have a terminal driver, but it means all kinds of pain dealing with them. Magic files like "CON" or "AUX" are convenient in a circumstance or two, but cause overall pain dealing with special cases to prevent security problems. Making a file's name indicate whether it's executable or not is a neat hack, but causes a lot of security problems otherwise, especially if the list of extensions that make a file executable is never really documented. Having a multi-root ("A:", "B:", "C:") filesystem eases the use of floppies, but then becomes a dreadful set of special cases to deal with.

Is it though? A lot of this free speech stuff usually boils down to "I wanted to say the n word on facebook". I'm not aware of any conservatives being arrested by the US government because they advocated for free market capitalism.

It’s pretty important to implement a mechanism to prevent a thundering herd if you can, and TCP doesn’t help here. Accidental synchronization can have many many causes.

In addition, despite fantasies, tcp in particular is an instance level concept and reserving the ability to shoot instances without draining first is a good design.

Interesting proposal. However, will it stop the compulsive gamblers? Maybe they'll just find somewhere else to gamble. This already happens in countries where gambling is illegal like China.

> Why do we need an absolute free speech platform? What good does it do?

I think the better question is, what harm does not having a free speech platform do? I think the answer is fairly evident when you look at how the ability to control speech has been used throughout history. The justification, I would also suggest, has always been the same as the ones being advanced now. People act like it was social media that revealed the fact that the masses will say terrible things when allowed, but in fact that was the common opinion for most of history.

By that reasoning, if the company refuses to comment an article should not be published, or if published must be rejected as one sided? That's convenient.

I do Amazon S3. Not because I have any particular love for Amazon, but because it was the default in the original template I used, and it was easy to set up and almost free. It has worked well. Most months I'm under the free tier usage limit, and the largest bill I've seen so far was less than $5.

My hosting provider (Render) requires an add-on for file storage, so last I checked AWS S3 free tier was the cheaper option.
Yeah, we've made the mistake of testing too much in our last configuration management. A test suite can be strangling if it starts to restrict every single change to the code base, unless you touch like 3-4 tests per configuration file deployed to a server.

At this point, most of our tests are much higher level by default - setup 3 nodes, run the config management against it, check if the cluster formed. If the cluster formed, the setup from the config management can't be that wrong.

From there, we're adding tests in an outage/bug-driven way. If it doesn't deploy and load a config correctly into the application, that's a test to write. Or, we recently almost ran into an outage because some failure earlier on caused the config management to start tearing the cluster apart because of missing metadata. So we added a test that it cancels the rollout in such a case.

Those tests are valuable, because we can rely on these issues not cropping up again. Some test breaking on yaml formatting isn't as much.

Python CLI Tricks That Don't Require Any Code Whatsoever

The market is filled with note-taking apps, knowledge bases, second brains, etc. in which you can write notes in Markdown. How about AsciiDoc?

That won't address compulsive gamblers and therefore won't address the problems identified in a material way.

As someone who worked in a very popular convenience store north of the University of Texas campus for four years during college, I watched them gamble obscene amounts while obviously living in poverty. I believe the compulsive gamblers will still be driven to gamble away as much of their available cash as they possibly can.

What do you mean by "doing code coverage"?

Tracking it? Doesn't take too long to set up in some situations.

Increasing it? Depends on if that's trying to get to 100% or just to have a metric to see where tests are needed.

It's usually not productive to enforce it for long ongoing development projects (aside from maybe "stay about 70%" or something). It can be a neat metric, but I don't think it's very productive. Testing comes in the form over very unbalanced importance (see "Pareto distribution"). Start by testing the most important business critical functionality and then move out from there. 20% of your tests will cover 80% of your actual important use cases.

The trade off would be easier to manager if tests didn't require maintenance, but to get the best bang for your buck, focus on the most critical stuff first. Code coverage is by no means a necessity.
