I have lost my "cuntree" accent, because that shit is a far bigger impediment to getting a job than actual class. (and in some cases race, but thats more complex)

but, for those who are outside of the UK and want to understand, its hard to translate. There are three things that you are judged on here in the UK, and they are all sort of related to class:

o Your clothes

o your attitude

o your accent

All of these are proxies for class. The most important thing to be aware of is that race is not normally a signifier for class. to use a recent example:

Rishi, our new prime minister, is posh as fuck. Posher, but not by much, than Liz truss. However less posh than Boris, as he is a no fooling aristocrat.

If we compare Rishi to Priti Patel, former Home secretary, who is middle-middle class at best. The differentiator is accent, not wealth. Rishi is richer than the king, but thats not why he's posh.

That is not to say that race is not a factor. its just nowhere near as big of a thing as it is in america.

The advantage is that you can change your class, its much harder to change your race. However your class at the time of your birth leaves an inprint/set of habits that are difficult to overcome. I do know someone who was raised on a london estate with a strong SAAAAAF LAAANDEN accent, who now is a QC/KC (senior lawyer) and has a received pronunciation accent. It wasnt until I met her parents and sister that I realised how much she'd changed.

I have found table-generation and processing at compile-time to be of big help.

For example, pre-computing values or parsing at compile-time.

This is useful for example in the following situations:

- You want to embed things at compile-time but keep things apart in a file. This file can be used at run-time when developing but is embedded and literally vanishes (you put your config directly in a struct) when deploying.
- You do not want to spend extra time at compile-time.
- No need to protect data at run-time with mutexes, etc.

The simplification it can yield is not immediately obvious. It can take a bit more work but the result is worth it. D is more powerful than C++ at this, btw.

Pretty cool stuff
The problem is that this isn't a feature that it supports, it's just that someone noticed the way you can combine the existing features leads to this possibility. It's the same with a programming language - until someone noticed that you could use javascript and web browsers to make a PDF viewer or an email client, maybe there was no documentation about how to do that.

I think it's not so much a problem of Nix/NixOS, but a consequence of the power of composability. For the next n years, people will keep discovering new things you can do. As the knowledge spreads, people will work out how to document the features and present them in ways that can be easily grasped. But the final success of NixOS will be when every distribution adopts more and more NixOS-like composability and NixOS is well understood and even boring, like the final success of Unix.
So where would inflation be if there was no war in Ukraine and a massive energy crisis Several months later?

Do you think the sudden loss of energy, which affects our ability to produce everything, has had a negligible effect on inflation?

Isn't this British classism?

"We felt she's from a different social class, so we teased her because of that".

I remember when shopping with my wife who just moved to the UK, a retail worker was chatting with us and she was explaining to us something along the lines "Oh you know like when you go shopping in Tesco... or if you're posh then it's Waitrose.".

Isn't this subtle, unconscious British classism too, that says who you are based on where you shop?
> after all the only person I am hurting is myself... And it is a clicker game...

I would argue the "hurting" part of that first sentence is being compelled to spend hours playing a clicker game that you would have liked to spend elsewhere.

At least that's how clicker games work for me: I don't even enjoy my time playing them, they just hook me against the wishes of 99% of my brain activity (but apparently not the 1% of my brain that decides where I spend my time)
Why have and white space at all in that case?

Even on an absolutely gigantic codebase using tabs or spaces will make almost no difference to build or type-checking times. Building an AST is much more overhead than white space considerations and once it’s an AST tabs or spaces are not included in the running of the code.
A bit of both really!
> Our concepts of free speech, censorship and moderation are simply outdated on modern social media

I disagree wholeheartedly. These concepts are now more important than ever in human history.
Thanks for looking things up!

Depending on your analysis, it can sometimes make sense to include land under fixed assets. Eg when you are running a company your accounting can perhaps treat durable assets and land the same?

If you are looking at whole economies, it's often useful to treat land separately. Even if that's not always done.

But I'm some kind of Georgist at heart, as you might be able to guess.
USENET never really solved spam. I remember the statistic that at one point one third of usenet traffic was spam and another third was spam cancels. Here's what people felt at the time: https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/writing/rant.html

(the "cancel" message was hilarious since when invented it was unauthenticated, i.e. anyone could delete any post on any group in USENET! This had to be fixed:

Python has syntactic blocks as well, and editors totally can (and do) muck around with their formatting. I don't see any reason why they couldn't handle customizable indentation.
The conflation of “document proving one is a citizen, or at least a legal resident” and “document proving one has a basic grasp of traffic safety” is unfortunate and not a must. These are separate functions in many countries.

This is really sad. I was sincerely hoping for jxl to become a widespread standard. Especially things like formats for 3D materials that have both high but depth color information as well as depth information, we could have a single format that could encode the entire texture easily. Also space-saving storage, etc.

We’re still pretty committed to using jxl as an internal standard for many things.
C has head const and it's pretty common in C code bases. From what I remember, D had transitive const and not head const, so how does ImportC deal with this now?

Besides the scoping, there is also "it is not perfect yet". This was driving me crazy because I could never finish something( as a home developer of home applications) and I had a bunch of "products" in constant development.

I decided to release them often and let my family drive the development direction. I quickly understood that having the ability to (usually) switch lights on and off was more important that the dashboard about how far from home I was when biking from the office.
My point was that it's too simplistic to paint classism as a one-way street somehow used to keep the "hoi polloi" down.
Absolutely, and equally on the other side of things the free speech side don't just want to be able to say whatever they want - they want the right to speech in front of people who don't want to hear it. People who don't like moderation on Twitter can go off to gab, gettr, telegram, Truth, 4chan or a tonne of other venues. But they don't just want to say what they want, they want the people they hate to hear it. The person shouting slurs at AOC on twitter isn't satisfied with calling AOC names if they don't think she will see it.

>If hypothetically every metaphorical YouTube should close for business because perhaps governments shut down ad funding, or if YouTube starts charging money, is my prerogative of speech in peril?

No because it's not related to your specific content.

Even if you were to make the argument that X content doesn't make money and costs too much, if someone pulls the trigger without giving you recourse to resolve issues, then it is violation of free speech.

In your example, if AT&T tells you that you must pay more money to say certain topics, then it's a violation.

If it costs money, it costs money, nothing wrong with that. The issue is intent.

In my experience, there's a cohort of middle-aged British men out there who absolutely cannot help but demonstrate their "oirish" accent as soon as they are in Ireland or meet an Irish person. It's a bit weird but I try to take it as an endearment.

That said, Irish people tend to be very fond of accent mimickery too.

So this is kind of what I mean by "no a priori definition."

Social media is new. The "right" to broadcast was almost theoretical before the internet. It wasn't what free speech was about.

IMO, we don't have free speech at all on fb/youtube/etc... currently They can close your account and take away your right. They don't need a court and it's all up to them. You have individual speech on those sites.
I would say something more akin to SPAM scoring would be good.

Contextual filters/scanners would score a piece of content, give it a "score" based on what ever categorizations are being filtered (NSFW, Non-Inclusive Lang, Slurs, Disinfo, etc)

Then both the creator and the consumer should be able to see the score in transparent manner, with the consumer being able to set a threshold to filter out any post that is higher then what they choose

Free Speech Absolutist could set it to 0, Default could be 50, and go from there
Setting the injections aside for a moment, let's consider other pandemic-era government actions, like the non-pharmaceutical interventions.

None of them worked and it was clear from the beginning that they were not going to ameliorate covid's impact. Loose-fitting surgical masks do not meaningfully impede the spread of aerosol-borne viruses. Even N95s have been found to show no additional benefit compared to surgical masks in pre-covid research that compared influenza rates among procedure-mask-wearing healthcare workers and healthcare workers wearing N95s. People seem to forget that the uselessness of masks against covid was known early on, then experts were trotted out to hypothesize (incorrectly but authoritatively) that covid was actually droplet-borne so that the mask-orders being imposed would have some air of legitimacy. Many deluded people still believe that surgical masks are useful against covid.

Then there were the capacity limits for businesses and forced closures of non-megacorp businesses.

And the stickers on the floor at arbitrary, pointless intervals. Pointless because covid is, as we knew from the beginning, pretended to forget for a while when "experts" falsely asserted the droplet nonsense, and know once more... aerosol-borne. Replication-competent covid virions can linger in the air for literally hours.

And the contact-tracing charade. And forced quarantine (not a thing in the USA but did happen in many other nations that were supposedly following "the science"), sometimes simply for alleged exposure to a PCR-positive "case".

During the covid pandemic, most citizens of nations that actively tried to "fight" the pandemic were deceived and abused relentlessly and shamelessly by those in authority, abetted by many experts. Those who dissented were falsely labeled kooks, deplatformed, and targeted for destruction.

I cannot read the minds of government officials in every country that imposed these sorts of unscientific and harmful alleged public health measures on their populations and tell you why they did it but I can tell you that it was obvious to many with relevant expertise or a rational mind and a willingness to look into what was being done and compare it to most nations' preexisting response plans for epidemics of viral respiratory illnesses and with the published literature with an open mind, even at the time when some were panicking, and know that they did not make sense and would not help.

It isn't subtle at all. My partner recently asked me what the equivalent layering of supermarkets would be in Italy, and I just couldn't - because there isn't such a layering there (or rather, it's layered by different criteria, i.e. political and regional differences).
The onus should not be on a person changing an important part of themselves because of some classist people.

To many people their accent is an important part of who they are, part of their identity and one that can't simply be switched out for 8 hours a day.

Twig.py – a Twitter Web3 influencer truffle pig used for finding engaged users
twig.py is a tool that helps web3 marketers find very engaged users within a commmunity's twitter profile.

Engagement is primarily based on likers, commenters and retweeters of a target account's tweets.

In web3 communities are everything. Even if your product is great, token utility phenomenal, a project's community is highly dependent on community and stewards of said community.

Twig's purpose is to help you surface engaged users or "influencers" so they can be incentivized to help bootstrap and grow your web3 community. Twig can also be used for competitive analysis and research for understand what type of engagement posts are most effective.
A good strategy would be to not allow typosquatting by just blocking names that too similar (something simple as hamming distance would suffice here).

Afaik there are two types of supply chain attacks strategy - you either compromise the a legitimate package by somehow getting a PR approved with malicious code, which is very hard to do, or you "typosquat". The latter is way easier and probably the dominant strategy, so package repositories such as PiPy need to invest into preventing it.

While the CCE studies are undoubtedly exciting and represent (to me anyway) the new paradigm for anthropology, it will be even more exciting to look at evidence for/against the evolutionary inevitability of intelligence and culture.

The currently popular understanding based on hopes of eternal progress would of course be in support of this, but sophisticated CCE based on a high level of intelligence may itself be only one of the ways that genes 'achieve' propogation.
I'm impressed by those companies too, but I don't think the experience of running them is very transferable to running a social network. Indeed, having two other big complicated companies to run at the same time is another reason I'm skeptical. He's going to get bored with running such a crappy and pedestrian company and go back to focusing on the better and more interesting ones.
This is great!

I am the author of SPyQL [1]. Combining JC with SPyQL you can easily query the json output and run python commands on top of it from the command-line :-) You can do aggregations and so forth in a much simpler and intuitive way than with jq.

I just wrote a blogpost [2] that illustrates it. It is more focused on CSV, but the commands would be the same if you were working with JSON.

> Currently, plans that are similar but with different billing intervals can best be expressed as two plans like: `plan:pro:annual@0` and `plan:pro:monthly@0`. We're very open to feedback on this approach though.

I think this makes sense because switching between them can be done very easily, just change the string from `plan:pro:annual@0` to `plan:pro:monthly@0`. As long as I can write some client side code that allows me to change if the end user is getting access to `plan:pro:annual@0` or `plan:pro:monthly@0` based on what they select on a UI.

Currently we only have a public (and another private) Telegram channel where we occasionally discuss upcoming features, problems and solutions to technical problems.

The Stealth browser is kind of a solo project for now. It grew out of my personal intention to build a better architecture for a more efficient web scraper + browser that doesn't waste internet bandwidth, because I have pretty crappy internet abroad. But I'd love to grow a community out of it.

Before the 4chan attacks last year there were a couple of other devs that occasionally contributed to the project, but they faded slowly away with the discreditation campaigns against me/us. As the 4chan raids led to us realizing that we're better at building cyber intelligence + defense products, we also pivoted with the company to this area because of it. The threat analysis mechanisms and peer-to-peer networking parts (with trust ratio of nodes/edges/paths) are very similar in nature, so it was a good fit, technology-wise.

I'd still want to build the stealth browser further and make a better project out of it (especially with the RetroKit fork which is WebKit minus the tracking APIs), but I've pivoted with the company to a different area and that's currently the primary objective. As our country is regularly attacked by a lot of cyber threats right now, we've focussed our efforts on developing the cyber defense technologies.

Right now, stealth is primarily being used as a Web Scraper via it's node.js APIs by us. So it's still actively used and occasionally we'll push some features to the repository.
It’s not incompatible. It’s exactly what I’m saying. We are manufacturing a demand side crisis by incorrectly presenting a supply side one. We could be reading about what’s being done to alleviate the energy market pressure, how reshoring will improve supply chain or the historically low unemployment rates. Instead it’s all about consumers insecurity, how “it’s going to be terrible, brace for it” and the risk of spiralling inflation.

I don’t think it’s factually correct to present the crisis as mostly sanctions related by the way even if they play a part. It’s both the energy market and the situation in China.

I disagree about the evidence. We have known for a long time than actors anticipate economic movement based on the information they are given. It’s even been argued that it’s the sole lever of monetary policies in the short term.
