$5.00/mo is the gold standard, but when you pay for multiple $5.00/mo services all that adds up. That's why I like services offering super cheap $12/year plans. If it means I get a bare-bones feature set as opposed to more expensive tiers, then I can live with that.
The goop/blend + boolean based approach to 3d is amazing, no meshes!
This is my biggest fear. Even if I use 2FA completely safely, using a physical chip, for 10/10 sites I care about, someone could spoof my phone number, call tech support with the right attitude, and remove my 2FA.

I'm so over the phone system and the credit card system. We have superiors but we are stuck in the past culturally.

It’s worth remembering that the trash can Mac Pro was an engineering bet on a new ecosystem, specifically external GPUs, which were made possible by the incredibly high speed of the Lightning port/cable.

That ecosystem of accessories did not develop as Apple hoped it would, which essentially stranded the Mac Pro design and made it look (in retrospect) like a stupid design. And Apple kept hoping the ecosystem would develop, so they waited too long to replace it.

Apple has done great with many similar bets (USB, FireWire, removing optical disk drives). This one just didn’t work out.
I suspect that this framing will make the number feel even worse. The number of complete (or even majority) communities that this 70k number represents is surely very nearly zero.

A URL's domain on your profile seem to be expired and hosts some random stuff
Not my experience, because I went and looked for interesting people and followed them. Through hash tags and looking at what other interesting people were 'boosting', etc.

Honestly, it's up to you to go find interesting people and follow them. There's no engagement "algorithm" like Twitter. That's a good thing, but yes, it does require an initial time investment.

It's not a twitter replacement. I never had twitter in my life -- on purpose -- so that's not how I think of it. It's more like FidoNET or Usenet of old. Which is fine with me.

Lots of people are lawyers. Most of them, including some of the most extraordinarily competent, are not First Amendment specialists. First Amendment Law Twitter makes sort of a cottage industry of dunking on lawyers, including accomplished litigators, for saying dumb First Amendment things. Sacks, so far as I can tell, has never professionally practiced law: he got his JD in '98, went to McKinsey, then joined PayPal and spent the rest of his career in startups. There is no particular reason to believe he knows what he's talking about here simply by dint of having a law degree.

> Well, not. I called them and with a procedure that took some 3 days and numerous phone calls, id photos, etc. But I finally got the access to my account back.

And the point of 2FA in the first place is thought by many to prevent social engineering.

All you needed was an id photo and be able to talk on the phone?

That and account history etc. will probably be in many peoples email. Thus access to the email only would allow you to get access to 2FA services too.
So it's not even decentralized but centralized into multiple competing blocs?

That just sounds like the worst of both worlds.
As someone with seven Mastodon accounts. I know from experience that it's so easy to choose the wrong node and find out it's not being federated with on other Mastodon nodes. Worst part is even when you run your own Mastodon node, there are some nodes that operate instead in a whitelist mode, so you still lose out.
The risk reward of what they are doing is acceptable though. If they succeed then they help the environment. If they fail than nothing was harmed and no one lost anything except for a couple of seconds of reading an article or watching a news clip.

As mentioned, "forum" here doesn't mean 'software website running on vbulletin' as we normally refer to a web forum, it's more like the "open forum of ideas" concept.

If 230 were not there, then there could be legal liability and the protection against it would be positive moderation or none at all perhaps. Positive moderation meaning dang would have to read and approve each post because HN would be taking on the liability of said post. Simply not scalable.
except google. They copied OSM data in the past, and used in their proprietary offering that includes reselling the data. A blatant offense of the OSM license.

They were caught red handed in 2018 i think, and blamed on some contractors. But most interesting, despite this being a widely know fact for the mapping community, i can't find any mention of it anywhere today.
Totally agree. As a Javascript dev I got functional code pushed on me in 2016.

It's definitely good practice for devs to learn some of the pitfalls that FP prevents and solves, but implementing it on a massive scale front-end application just seems impractical.

Having worked on a large streaming service and considering the author's 3 MONTH struggle after his 40 YEARS experience, I'd estimate that a re-write of our codebase there would have taken our 20 devs over a decade.
> Travelling is a lot of fun and makes you realize that life is short and that you should make the most of it.

I never got what was so great about travelling. Whenever I tried doing it, I was almost immediately bored and lonely. It proabably works much better for extraverts.
Considering Rust pretty much started as a way to have a ML for system programming and was written in Ocaml, yes, I think it's fair to say it was heavily influenced by FP.

It became less and less ML-like as time went on but it still as a ton of features it inherited from Ocaml and Haskell: variant types, pattern matching, modules, traits come directly from type classes, etc.
I'd argue Rider from Jetbrains is better than VS for F#, though that is a subscription based IDE (though you can stop paying and keep the version you originally "bought" after)

I suspect this article was written by AI. Or a hack journalist. And most of you haven't read it and are reacting to the title. Certainly won't find any explanations of how AI works on vice.

Do you look at what the Fed actually spends their printed money on? Almost all of it is financial contracts which simply yield them their money back, which if defaulted on, have no repercussions on them since they own a money printer that makes what the contracts yield in the first place. So to say they're benefiting in some way by printing and spending money on such things, is kind of like saying, a car manufacturer benefits when they manufacture a car, lend it out for someone to use, simply in exchange for getting their car back in the future. I mean I guess, but not really since they could also save themselves some hassle, by manufacturing themselves the thing and not lending it out in the first place?

But sure, the people at the Fed also pay themselves a nice wage which they spend in exchange for personal goods and services and to live and stuff, but to the extent they do is not anything like you think it is. Heck, there are people elsewhere which make more money. And considering it takes work to manufacture dollars, and lend it to other in need of having some stable metric to do trade with, do they not deserve a wage in exchange for the work involved for doing such a service?

> Inflation benefits people who have borrowed money at fixed rates

Agreed, such as everyone who has borrowed money from the Fed, and almost all money is borrowed from the Fed. (Now do you see why they might push the argument that inflation is good for the economy?)

> Owning assets does not inure one against inflation, because one gets to pay capital gains tax on the inflated value of the asset

The problem with this argument, is twofold. One is in assuming taxes completely negate gains on capital. Obviously taxes are a drag on gains, but it is a fractional amount of the gains. Meaning, you still make some gains. So in this sense, it still does insure you from inflation, just not completely. But the second and real issue, is that you don't have to realize gains and incur taxes to benefit from owning assets during inflation. If you already own and still need, say a truck, and inflation has caused trucks to appreciate in value, you simply benefit from not needing to purchase another truck at now inflated prices.

To me, the transparent bondi blue original iMac looked better than the pastel shades on the new iMac.

It's not all rose-tinted past however: the original had a mouse that was hard to use all the time, not merely while recharging as the new one.

There's no file corruption, Adobe simply updated it's UI to not provide a rendering color to Pantones colors anymore so they default to black.

If you were to have another program that can open PSDs and provide rendering colors for Pantones colors, it'd work just fine. They're cutting a feature (one Adobe had been neglecting for over a decade), not corrupting any files.

For the people who weren't supposed to be using Pantone to begin with (digital only artists), yeah it's annoying. For those people a simple conversion of Pantone to RGB in their files should be enough though and older versions of Photoshop can do that if I understand it correctly (hence why Adobe is recommending older versions of Photoshop for people affected by this). Everyone else seems to not have been supposed to use the Adobe functionality anyway because it's extremely outdated.
Google Maps has been a really garbage experience for me lately, so much so that I've been actively looking for alternatives. Sadly, there aren't many.

Some of problems I've had with Google Maps recently:

- Routing gives me weird bypasses that aren't necessary and often actually add time to the trip. I've started to not trust the routing.

- The UX when searching for places is extremely difficult to navigate, especially when trying to use map view instead of list view

- planning a route _without_ asking for directions is near impossible because many street and landmark names are not displayed

- Landmarks are drowned out by the overwhelming clutter of business names (paid ads)

- Maps are sometimes wrong in my area and I have no idea how to get them fixed.

I've started using OsmAnd for most of my mapping needs lately, and it's better in almost every way _as a map_. The only major thing it's lacking for me is traffic-aware navigation.
The point is parent's generalization is wrong because it's either caused by faulty hardware or software issue, but it's not widespread problem across all new (Android) smartphones, just because you and him experience this issue.

Lot of the time arguments for Functional Programming seem to describe some form of total programming and avoiding partial functions. Like enforcing null checking or exhaustive matching, avoiding panics etc.

When I was going through Functional Programming classes in Haskell, the teacher tried to separate total programming and functional programming.

For instance Rust programs rarely use function composition compared to Haskell. He didn't consider Rust as very good functional programming language for that very reason. But at the same time Rust has good total programming tools like exhaustive checking, Option, Result etc.

Does anyone else try to separate functional programming and total programming?
Everything is being tried with smaller or bigger success.

Indeed. Also formatting decided at the language level (gofmt) and a standard library powerful enough to accomplish most business tasks, so you can avoid 3rd party dependencies entirely if you want, while still being productive.
I suppose this is why it is called "machine learning" and not "human learning"!
Despite all the FUD, you can’t beat running your own server. I’ve been doing it trouble-free for about 20 years, and I would not want to give up the power and flexibility it affords me.

However, I’ve been wondering this myself: how to advise someone who, say, is leaving an institution and needs to replace its email service, but who can’t or doesn’t want to run a server. I know what not to use: gmail, protonmail (as you point out), hotmail, aol (!), ... but I would love to know of a service that I can recommend with confidence.
It sounds like the job is the problem. If you feel like you are going to be fired anyways it's probably best to start applying for other positions now. A change of culture and environment will probably help a lot. Try doing something different that allows you to learn new things.

Nope. Every single African socialist movement failed. Woefully too.

Source: I'm Nigerian, versed in history, and I have neutral sources that back up everything I'll say here.

1. Haile Mariam Mengistu's socialist policies didn't lift Ethiopia from poverty. Instead, it contributed to the deaths of 500k to 2 million Ethiopians, due to the government messing with grain production and sales. Yes, Ethiopia would have had a famine anyway but Mengistu's agrarian socialist policies made it worse and led directly to at least 2 million deaths.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983%E2%80%931985_famine_in_Et...

2. Julius Nyerere's socialist policies (the Ujaama) in Tanzania were bitterly resisted by the locals and Nyerere had to forcefully have the same rural villagers he claimed he wanted to help forcefully removed to collective farms.

Police began to round up farmers and forced them to move into the villages. 13 million people were eventually registered to 7000 villages. As a result, rural production was severely disrupted.

According to a 1978 government survey, none of the villages had achieved the official targets for agricultural productivity.

Many villages were left reliant on famine relief. In contrast to the government's intentions, food imports rose dramatically, and inflation accelerated. Overall import levels tripled during the 1970s, while exports only doubled. The entire process also damaged Nyerere's reputation with the rural population.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:BookSources/978-082142...

I could go on and on, because I've actually studied along this line extensively. Socialist policies don't work. It only concentrates power and wealth with a strongman leader, and then socialists turn around and claim it wasn't real socialism because it didn't created a stateless utopia.

So, you think you understand socialism more than Malenkov, Beria, Stalin, Mengistu, Mugabe (yes, he was socialist; his policy was to seize and redistribute land from the whites - it only destroyed Zimbabwe's economy), Tito (Yugoslavia), etc?

Mao ate chicken and imported comfort food while tens of millions of Chinese died in his engineered famines. How can you even wake choose to uninformed when all this is public knowledge?

They all failed woefully. I'm not asking you to denounce your socialist ideals, but please, in a world where information is just a click a way, it's immoral to be promoting lies like these.
Thanks, updated it.

Oh, I’m not saying it doesn’t happen but the people I knew with these luxury trucks didn’t want to get them scuffed up. The old pickup I used to have was perfect for that but it was like half the weight, too, so I’d use that as an argument that most people are fine with what used to be normal sized trucks.

The problem with the pizza and beer approach is that it only works for short moves - if you have anything like a substantial drive it’s a lot easier to rent a U-Haul so you can make one trip rather than multiplying time in traffic by half a dozen trips.

Honestly, Stephen King probably loses more brand equity than that just from what he posts on Twitter. It’s gotten to the point where I actively avoid following any writers or creative types on Twitter just to avoid my perception of their work being colored by how they conduct themselves on Twitter.

Well, Andrew Tanenbaum remembered when at IBM he received a full explanation of why they felt very important his shirt should not just be of some specific colour, but of the specific shade of some colour. I would not say it is not part of the job: I would say it ["we feel it very important"] is part of "what happens".

No no, let's make sure to keep arguing about a topic in which no one will ever convince anyone else to change their opinion, until the end of time.

Ok, not until the end of time, let's just do it for at least five years more. That will be a constructive move which will accomplish a lot of good, I'm pretty sure.

LiDAR can't tell you mass of an object as it is headed towards your vehicle.

Imagine you're driving down the road and you see:

1.) A kid throw a rubber playground ball into the road and at your windshield.

2.) A kid heave a bowling ball into the road and at your windshield.

How would you react in each case? How do you distinguish between the two?

As a kid is heaving the bowling ball you can tell that it has a lot more mass by how the kid had to move his body to throw the ball. You learned that because you spent the first few years of your life experiencing the basic physics of reality. You've internalized the motion of the human body.

LiDAR can also have a dirty lens!

Google really timed that badly. Launching it branded that way precisely when their own brand was starting to become "uncool" and at a time when Facebook was in heavy ascendance.

But it was a better product, to me, and I enjoyed the groups and such I was on in G+. I think if it was around today, maybe with different branding, it would actually be doing quite well.

Internally @ Google most Googler's resented G+ for the way Vic ran the project and the way L&S let that happen. But it was implemented fairly well. I think it mainly confused the public because it was not Facebook and not Twitter, a bit nerdy, and it did poorly at the kind of network-effect "friends gathering" thing that boosted Facebook in its growth phase (and MySpace and Friendster before that...)
