Building a Second Brain – Book Review
> I can't imagine the WaPo taking this same tone with regard to a Bezos acquisition or contract

Uhhh... you must not ever read WaPo. They run critical coverage of Bezos and Amazon all of the time.
antiwork started off good but quickly went downhill.

I abandoned it some time ago because it is now a "pro-union eco-chamber".

I once advocated serious changes to the labour laws are what is needed, and was inundated with "join a union" posts.

It really speaks to just how out-of-touch these people are.

Unions only care about large corporations because they can get a lot of members and union dues. The issue with this logic is that small businesses are often totally out of the unions reach and laws benefit EVERYONE. The other issue they overlook is Union contracts only apply to those in the union and can change greatly from one union to the next.
Ok "flat-copy-with-src-invalidation". Somehow "move" makes it sound more efficient than copying a C struct, but it's actually the same thing (for POD structs), for non-POD it's even slightly more expensive because you need to fix up the source.
Yes, I've seen that, too. However, I usually set my monitors quite low and tend to have some minimal ambient light. I only use the computer in complete darkness when watching a movie or similar. But Windows' pure black on a sea of pure white was still painful.

But I think the reason for setting the monitors to a high brightness, which I've sometimes done at work, is the awful quality of the panels. Setting them brighter makes colors pop, as you say, even in light mode.

My work laptop is one such offender, with darker hues basically indistinguishable at low brightness. However, the screen is shitty all the way, and max brightness isn't all that bright...
'Right to Repair' is nice, but the real battle is having a guaranteed base level of functionality for products that is independent of network access and software update.

If your car can be turned off remotely or rendered unusable because the company that made it goes out of business, it's a problem. The same is true for things that you "purchase" through Amazon and other services. If you are buying (not renting) you should be able to download and access offline forever.
Nobody wants to work anymore, am I right?
For those interested in gruvbox, give gruvbox-material ( https://github.com/sainnhe/gruvbox-material ) a look. It's a bit softer than the original, which I find a bit easier on the eyes.
For a month I traveled from Seville to Munich in 2019 and didn't need my phone at all. I bought food, tickets, took transit, etc. What I did NOT do was open a bank account.

So do these banks issue you a phone if you don't have one? Does the government have a law that requires citizens to own a phone? What brand? What capabilities.

There are online-only banks in the US that are only accessed through a phone, but they are not the ONLY banks.

I think you are confusing a world that CAN be accessed vs. a world that MUST be accessed via phone.
For me, I have come to terms with that fact that an fully moral employer is unrealistic in this competitive world. So I stopped feeling proud or disappointed by what my employer does in the world (as long as it does not actively goes out of its way to harm people).

That said, I think I am happy to work at Netflix currently.
There's also a legitimate harm to consumers with such a large radar array in the front bumper. Because even a minor fender bender could total a $50k car.

So the car would be very difficult to sell since few people are willing to pay much higher insurance premiums just for that.
> They're employees, but "workers" implies blue collar in my opinion.

You are (understandably) conflating "worker" with "working class", but these are different contexts. A worker is anyone who must, well, work for a living as opposed to their income coming from property/capital.
Maybe it's because of my color blindness, but I like Nord theme a bit better. It's less jarring. Also, I'm not particularly fond of different color for each and every lexical category (keyword, number, string, etc.). Coloring is practical for noticing unclosed strings and comments, or the start of a function, but in many cases, it doesn't offer me any advantage.
Starvation is more typically driven by organizational, infrastructure, or other tangential issues than by the lack of land. Africa is the best example. It's an absolute utopia in terms of the resources needed for survival, a simply beautiful land in general, and home to the highest rates of starvation in the world. It's those tangential problems that are causing it.

And these tangential issues would emerge in spades after nuclear war. For instance one of the most basic is logistics. Think about how insanely much is just involved in getting an ear of corn from a farm to you. At the most fundamental you're relying on machinery, drivers, oil, gas, refineries, roads infrastructure, food processing infrastructure and a whole lot more - before that ear of corn is anywhere near you. And then there needs to be a means of distribution, and more.

Our entire economy came on the verge of collapse because of COVID, and nuclear war would have an impact with so many orders of magnitude greater than COVID that I think even dreaming of anything even vaguely resembling normalcy afterwards is unrealistic. Violence happens after disasters when the food runs out. In practical disasters that tends to not happen due to rapid aid, delivery, support, and organization. In nuclear war, the food will run out.
I'm very familiar with the poem, thanks. Take a look at the last line!

> If a devops team for a pro-choice campaign was being censored on SourceHut because it does not align with Drew's moral compass, nobody would defend this with "well, they can just run their own git hosting services, so what's the problem?"

Actually, I suspect that's precisely how some people would defend it. And why wouldn't they? It's completely independent from agreement or disagreement with the position.
Wow, Ueli Maurer. That was a deeply nostalgic name to show up in this article.

I took the mandatory first-year Discrete Math course from him, and I would say that it was the tastiest math class I’ve ever taken in my life.

His script for the class as well, with its famous chapters 1-8. Even though it was riddled with Helvetisms, each sentence in the script was crystal clear and Ueli Maurer’s passion could be felt through and through.
In the quote we were discussing, Popper is not concerned with any particular resolution of the argument, but only with whether words are being answered with more words or with fists.

As far as I've been able to tell, Moon allows anyone to express any viewpoint on his forum.
> There are people here who seem to take the view that businesses hosting the content of others ought to absolutely protect their "freedom of speech", no matter the content. I disagree.

I also disagree, so long as competitors that disagree with such decisions are also permitted, and so long as the entity in question is not monopolistic or is acting as some kind of widely used utilities for speech. On some issues dissent isn't permitted, and there are many cases where some platforms are arguably acting as utilities.
The distance between kiwifarms threads and direct harassment is a thin veneer more meant to shield the site from criticism than anything meaningful. The relationship between the site and the people it stalks is slightly more complicated than appears on the surface. In practice the threads serve largely as a rallying place and public archives of exploits. The actual "touching the poo" occurs in discord servers populated by the very same people posting on the site who initially met in the threads. They will privately coordinate actions on discord, then publicly post them on the site, it is one extra step of laundering that serves only as a layer of plausible deniability.

The threads are the central nexus for the harassment, the site rules simply stipulate that the dirtiest work must happen in slightly more private venues. Please understand however, that the threads themselves are essential to this process, they are where the harassment starts and all actions on discord are done specifically to then be posted on the site.

This is of course kept as quiet as possible, but an example where the curtain was drawn back would be the behavior of power user SpookyBones. I wont name the person being targeted in particular, but by reading their subforum it is clear to see that kiwifarms users had private discords where they would directly contact the person in question and their friends, and then post the findings back on threads.

The distance between kiwifarms itself and direct harassment is mere obfuscation, not a substantive separation. The very people doing the harassment meet on kiwifarms, and then commit their acts purposefully to post on the site. The slight detour offsite for the actual action hardly matters in practice.
It's a nice little color scheme, but why in the world does this simple thing have that boilerplate corporate conversion-optimized landing page that every startup and their brother is using? I expected the page to try and sell me yet another disruptive cringy SaaS at the end, but no - it's literally just talking about a color scheme for my terminal.

And I just noticed there's a "community" page. What? A community centered around a color scheme for my computer? I get to wax poetic to others about those cool blue frost tones we're using?
http? My website runs fine if amazon and cloudflare go down.

However as I'm in the UK, a large nuke in Docklands would cause big problems. Most of my company's connectivity reaches the world through Telehouse and Sovereign House, both in Docklands, about a mile from each other. A large nuke landing on top of the Blackwall Tunnel - perhaps on top of Switch (another major building we have), would probably knock both out.

You could effectively knock out the UK's internet by sabotaging the Thames Barrier, let alone the damage just a single nuclear bomb in docklands would do.
Except it's intended as a colour palette for code in ides, terminals, etc.

So, wether it meets guidelines for web uis is completely irrelevant.
Do Twitter employees have a safe place to discuss this?
It's an obvious meaningless formality, not sure why it's news.
It would be interesting to see a write-up from them on Homa's benefits over UDP. UDP has been used to work-around issues with TCP both in the datacenter and in unreliable WANs.

Skimming over the paper, I think the magic of Homa is in its RPC calls and its short-lived connections. When they're handled at layer 3 and 4, they can provide a significant hint to switches, routers and hosts regarding prioritization and congestion control. If you agree upon the prioritization algorithms as part of the protocol, then both sending and receiving hardware can coordinate much more easily.

If we instead just implemented something like Homa on top of UDP, it would basically mean that the top of the OSI stack would have to somehow inform the lower layers of the stack about these "sessions". You'd also have to hope that 3rd party peers decide to implement the hints in the same way. This would result in much more complexity.
Would anything let him change the deal at this point? Even if Twitter was hiding their bot problem Elon's initial offer waived his ability to do due diligence on this, no?
What's not verifiable is your claim that it couldn't be valued higher with a different CEO.

> No you didn’t.

Yes, I did.

> At no point did you attempt to present conflicting numbers.

a) False: "Another common reference is this one, which has numbers as high as 1,000,000+ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War"

b) Presenting a competing theory is not even a requirement of disputing a claim - dispute: "to question the truth or rightness of dispute a statement"

> Instead you sunk to lazy trolling with “is anything true?? question everything!”. Yeah, you can dismiss literally any conversation like that.

Do you lack the ability to see what you are doing here? Are you not literally asserting that appealing to what is actually true is necessarily ~invalid, and can only be "trolling"?

> You started playing games with meanings of well defined words like “terrorism”. It’s like arguing that the sky being blue is just a matter of opinion, completely pointless.

I often wonder: what would people like you do if someone was to ever take away your memes...do you have anything to fall back on?

I challenge you to utilize the same mode of thinking that you would apply when discussing code, processors, or that sort of thing. If you instead choose to continue with your current mode, I will continue to mock you as I am doing now (and to moderators: if people can engage in insults and bald-faced lying, is some teasing in response really that inappropriate?).

I look forward to seeing your reaction.
This is the key - and it's the failure mode of all political/charity begging across decades and decades.

"We want money to do the things we want to do" doesn't get as much reaction as "holy shit the servers will die tomorrow because you fucks don't ever donate and just suck the sweet sweet wikitit of knowledge".

It's obviously manipulative and at some point it crosses a boundary into immoral. You could add a "My donation is necessary to keep the Wikipedia servers online next year" yes/no question to the donation page and I bet you'd get something high like 80%+ picking yes, because of how the appeals are written.
I came in around 1998, so 6 years shy of the 30 year mark. I still got to play with a lot of stuff from that era though. Lots of Novell Netware installs. NE2000 NICs with BNC (and 50 Ohm terminators) proliferated. I became familiar with Btrieve. I had a few clients on homegrown DBIII/CA Clipper/Visual FoxPro. The big projects were moving one of them to a nice Borland Delphi 6 app that we were writing. There was VB everywhere. I really hated it but for getting a UI going quickly, it was hard to beat. If you found a control to use in your app, it was most likely something you had to pay for. (A calendar/date-picker for example) I used NNTP/Newsgroups to get answers to my programming questions about Delphi/Object Pascal. The idea of a dynamic web was only slightly on our radar. We tried Python, Perl DBI, and finally landed on PHP. That paid the bills for quite awhile. The internet was so fresh and new. There really was this idea that anything was possible and so much was yet to be discovered. I look at today and think, "are we really done? this is it??"
Yes. I mean it was the first time I had been in that situation, so maybe the mortgage was never in jeopardy. I just remember coming home to a message from our banker asking about a negative report from an Apple card and freaking out until Apple/Goldman withdrew it.
Yeah, which is probably fine in most cases but sometimes not (maybe the overhead is just 1.5x, but if you're doing thousands of messages per second (not the usual API<>browser communication for web users)) and then it matters. Again it's trade-offs and highly contextual.
My colorblind eyes say no. (but to be fair, that is the case for many color schemes)
Nope, this is why there are labor protection laws (some at least in CA).
This is my daily driver in every editor/ide. I make custom themes for the small places i want to tweak the colors

It's not that they don't align with my political stance, it's that they don't do their job of providing broad-spectrum information on the actions of governments and corporations. To emphasize, Top Secret America was an outstanding expose of the military-intelligence contracting system, but that was before Bezos got his ~600 million CIA web services contract, and soon after that he spent what, ~$250 million to buy the Post, after which that kind of investigative journalism was eliminated.

However, your point is pretty valid - back in 2002, the WaPo regurgitated US government talking points on (non-existent) Iraq WMDs without bothering to do any investigative pushback.

Im well aware of how medians work (1 type of average). The gaps are often calculated by the mean.
EDIT: other answers point to base16 as a way to do this automatically. Use that. Leaving my previous comment here just in case.

I think what the creator is doing is outsourcing the maintenance of each individual app to a maintainer that cares; the themes folder contains pointers to other repos:

https://github.com/dracula/dracula-theme/tree/master/themes

I think that is a good idea.

This could be used to "reverse-engineer a generic platform" relatively easily:

1: Fork Dracula and its themes
3: For each color in Dracula.Palette
4: Find and replace color.hex by color.refjex on themes
5: Find and replace "color.r,color.g,color.b" by color.refrgb on themes
6: Find and replace "color.h,color.s,color.l" by color.refhsl on themes

The whole idea would be replacing #282a36 for a reference like `{{Background}}` and then using a templating language like handlebars or m4 to generate the themes.

Of course steps 4,5 and 6 are more complex than 3 lines. One will have to come up with a way to filter out spaces, commas and other things. I expect a lot of the apps out there to expect hex numbers though.
I have to agree, those look like crap. It would affect if I wanted to play the game.

Whether the reserve currency is strong or weak makes no difference -- having one's currency be the world's reserve currency necessarily leads to large trade deficits (e.g., otherwise there is no way to supply that currency to the rest of the world), and therefore deindustrialization.

If a person fears that their affiliation with a website threatens their well-being if their identity were to be exposed as a result of their interactions with it, then they need to disassociate themselves from the website and depending on the nature of the website’s community, take a long look in the mirror. If they aren’t up for those options, then pony up and take whatever consequences come along with sticking around, that is, if the internet itself and the nature of how it exists today is that dear to a person.

my mom got banned from facebook a month ago for having, months earlier, enthusiastically replied to a friend's post about some upcoming trip with a hyperbolic comment saying she'd "sell a kidney to be able to go with her". after helping her resolve the issue (had to clear all fb cookies, otherwise she was just presented with a blank page, making even beginning the unbanning process impossible), I warned her, next time, make sure you specify that it's one of your own kidneys that you're hypothetically willing to sell.
