I resign from communicating with you because you are not arguing in good faith.

Demanding to provide data that is clearly not publicly available is pure demagoguery, as this figure is irrelevant for our discussion: it does not matter if ad revenue from user engagement created by Trump was XXXXX USD or YYYYYY USD, as it is beyond clear that this figure was above zero. So blocking him was against the commercial interests of the platform.

Likewise, the success (or lack of it) of other platforms, like Truth social, is hardly relevant here. It is another demagogue technique called 'straw man', as you try to bait your opponent into arguing about a completely different social platform.

Now, you may claim victory in this internet discussion, and celebrate it like your other imaginary victories.
He's a fantastic teacher. I particularly like his breadboarding videos where he does something obvious but wrong, and then backs up and explains why.
> What do you mean by that?

I assumed the point was old name wasn't tracked and should be.

> Having a type for "country of origin" would mean that the type gives you limits on what values it can hold

No one said your type has to be completely set in stone and contain every valid value in advance.

Have a trusted store of country name and valid until date. So defunct country can't be added.
They have considered it and say they will invest in it "once they have the resources" [1]. So I wouldn't expect it anytime soon at all.

Michael Pollan was right:

The first 4 words of the headline are sufficient.
The article used those terms, in a way that cast Kropotkin in a "right libertarian" light which struck me as anachronistic given his time period.

Your comment seemed to echo that, talking about some Anarcho-capitalist libertarian ideal buzzword society, linking that to his anarchism and then further attaching the generic word 'capitalist' to it.

This felt like a stretch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-capitalism

> Anarcho-capitalism is also distinguished from anarchism, an anti-capitalist movement that opposes unnecessary coercion and hierarchy, and social anarchism, a branch of anarchism that sees individual freedom as interrelated with mutual aid. Unlike anarchists, anarcho-capitalists support private property and private institutions. Anarcho-capitalists also reject the libertarian socialist economic theories of anarchism, arguing that they are inherently authoritarian or require authoritarianism to achieve, while believing that there is no coercion under capitalism. Despite its name, anarcho-capitalism lies outside the tradition of anarchism and is more closely affiliated with capitalism, right-libertarianism, and liberalism

> I am comfortable with at least two 27" monitors.

I embraced a single-monitor workflow early in my career after experimenting and finding that having multiple monitors often makes me less productive than just switching workspaces with ⌘+tab. Now it's extended to a single-laptop workflow that's given me incredible flexibility to travel and move around the office.

When do people really need multiple monitors? My only guesses are if they're using Windows, or have a really short feedback loop workflow between two apps that are too big/awkward to share a screen? Which, I guess OP could be in both boats.

I like it.

I setup a login just for working in VR. I get MUCH more done as I'm totally distraction-free, and it's much better for my neck, as I'm looking at the screens in front of me, instead of down at my laptop. Looking down at my laptop for years has become a source of chronic pain, and working in VR removes it.

Setup is a Macbook Air M1, Quest 2, elite strap, and over-the ear headphones. I use Immersed, which is free, and put up a big screen in the middle to work on, with two narrow screens on either side for reference material.
Interesting you're getting downvoted for something that is absolutely true. Thin film plastics are exceedingly efficient. When you add in secondary energy effects like adding soap and water for cleaning the reused packaging, and 3rd order effects like food borne illness when you fail to do so properly, the plastic wins the energy game every time.

The discussion goes in to debates over energy use versus litter at that point.

This is plausible. At the end of my teen years, I was totally broke. I'd moved to "the city" to follow my job - the company lost the contract where I lived, and they promised to keep me employed if I moved. So I did, and got about a year of work before that company went bankrupt.

The Employment Insurance was barely enough to pay rent and food. To get my feet back on the ground, I moved in with a friend for about 6 months. They lived on university campus, so I wasn't living in the basement like the guy in the article. People just assumed I was a fellow student, since I was in the typical age range. The floor don knew I was a transient guest and didn't say anything. They just assumed it was a romance thing. Times were really different back then.

Everyones land was "stolen" from someone else. Everyones.

There is no place on this entire planet, where a domicile sits, that wasn't taken from another by force. No where. Nada.

You think natives didn't ever kill each other over territory? Hunting rights, especially in times of famine? You do realise that all of the Americas were settled, then resettled again, and again, in multiple waves of europeans (all natives settled the new world too, they didn't evolve here), by those we call natives, with blood and spear?

We just displaced the last "thieves", who displaced those before us, and so on.

The only unfairness is if we signed treaties, to end the fighting, and then did not honour them.

Those are being addressed, at least in Canada, by the courts.

Note: where's my family's land, from 500 years ago, taken when the French invaded, or 2000ya when the Romans, and so on??

Why don't I get my people's land back?

Is it because I am white? Or, because it was 500 years ago, not 200?

Is it OK, because a white man killed my family and took the land of another white man?

Or...? Why?!

Natives lost their land, as did billions before. But none are alive today, and I could care less about historical loss.

I do care about poverty, and right to societal cohesion and access. I don't care why, what historical reason led to things, I just care about fixing what is a problem now.

If you look at native americans, their reservations are their biggest source of poverty.

Enough.

I think personal experience with multiple paradigms is essential for a developer to decide which one they prefer.

The opinions of programmers who have only used one paradigm are less than worthless, since they are demonstrating a basic lack of curiosity and lack of willingness to invest in their craft.

California was the bulwark of the GOP during the mid 20th century. Santa Clara County voted Republican every election from 1972 to 1988, encompassing both the period before and after Apple’s founding and IPO. The state as a whole voted Republican in all but one presidential election from 1952 to 1992: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_California.

Yeah they’re definitely programmers, but anyone who’s had to maintain and deploy what a data scientist came up with in a notebook will question whether they should really be using types.

temperamentally he is mercurial and polarizing which is the opposite of what Twitter needs.

maybe he can turn Twitter into a super-app on the console of every Tesla. a plan is not in evidence other than throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks. 'move fast and break things' might really unlock opportunities, or destroy trust.

Zuck was unusually good at fake apologies while continuing to data-rape and strip-mine users, but trust is a problem for Facebook and will be exponentially worse for Musk.

it could indeed turn into MuskChan. if he is really going to turn a blue check into something anyone can buy without providing ID it's just a matter of time before impersonation scams multiply.

it will be an incredible distraction from challenges at his other ventures. Saudis and pedophiles are going to use it to abduct people. what is he going to do when people/nations go nuts about something on Twitter and take it out on Tesla?

I'm also skeptical of the weird turnabout between 'get me out of this deal at any cost' and rushing to pay up in full. either a side deal with e.g. Saudis or there was something existential about to come out in discovery.

Raising prices on soda isn’t exactly hurting the poor anymore than taxes on cigarettes do, it’s an unnecessary and unhealthy product that then increase the healthcare cost to them and the state. Poor people need variety and choice, but not unbridled “choice” as decided by Coca Cola and other soft drink conglomerates and their extensive advertising budgets and marketing deals with convenience stores.
> For this, I want to use heat-set inserts and screws to clamp everything together relying less on super glue to hold things together.

There is actually no need for heat-set inserts, you can print holes sized such that standard machine screws will cut their own threads. I’ve done it with M2, M2.5, and M3 sized screws.

Heat-set thread inserts are nice, though, if you will be doing a lot of re-assembly, since they aren’t so easy to strip.

Yes I missed your point and thinking about it I don't know what's your point when you've said "Oooh, do America/Iraq next"

I thought it was about the relativity of a standpoint and mirror positions. For that I've replied "use Vietnam", because in the atrocities of the US Iraq is relativly moderate and not very interesting to do a "The American ..." but the Phoenix program is much more so.

But I didn't get it.
Even the very same Wikipedia article you quote admits that central characteristics of capitalism include competitive markets, private property, property rights recognition, and voluntary exchange.

Neither National Socialism nor Fascist corporatism had strong protection of

- competitive markets: markets where heavily regulated and great parts of national production and ressources where directed and allocated by the government, preventing competition and free exchange

- property rights: lots of property was outright stolen from their rightful owners, the means of production were ultimately controlled by the government

- voluntary exchange: lots of people where forced into slave labor, which is decidedly involuntary

So yes, these were state socialist societies, not capitalist ones.

Man, I wish you would come back to IRC.

Who else started using it in 1996, and never stopped? Lots! Who else never touched any of the social media sites. Lots!

Discord is a frustrating UI experience for me on all levels, so I just can't bring myself to even open the software.

IRC was and is awesome.

Caveat: use it for casual socializing. If you need tools for risky things like political activism, business, security, etc - don't use IRC, for many reasons.

Why is “not subscription software” necessarily a good thing?

Whatever comment it is you're responding to, it doesn't seem to be mine, since I never said any of those things.

The freedom you seem to be advocating for is freedom from other people having opinions, existing, or speaking to you. As if they only mattered when they agreed with you or were willing to help you, and they became irrelevant the moment they had a criticism. I think you should reconsider. I think life is better with vigorous debate with people you disagree with, and that the things you so badly want to "get done" will be richer and deeper if you engage with people who may not like what you're doing. Otherwise, how could there be any other outcome than finding yourself surrounded by yes men?
Cost-push and demand-pull theories of inflation have been discredited by Reisman in "Capitalism".

And as Milton Friedman wrote, "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output."

Of course, this is saying the same thing as the Law of Supply & Demand. More money being created wrt the goods and services it represents mean the money gets devalued.

Love a lower barrier to entry for 3D. “A new way to 3D” gets the point across. Just evaluating the homepage, I like the fun aesthetic a lot. However, a large proportion of the examples on the homepage have a slight horror/gross-out element to them. E.g., does the cowboy dude have to have his torso swelling and undulating? I think this comes from trying to demo the SDF model overtly, whereas some demos should just be of cool stuff you can make that doesn’t look like it’s made of gooey balls.
AWS Braket is only, at best, useful for research in quantum algorithms. It gives you access to classical simulations of QCs (which run you linear-time quantum algorithm in exponential real time), or access to some noisy real QCs (the ones whose best achievements so far are proving that 21 = 3 * 7 using a version of Shor's algorithm specialized for certain numerical properties of the number 21).
I think this problem is similar to fighting spam, or ranking webpages for search queries: you don't want to be too public with your methods, because any metric can be gamed.

I actually suspect "bridge-based ranking" has already been deployed on a large scale, and the group that did so has not publicly disclosed this -- likely for good reason. (There is a big social media site that used to be famous for having terrible comments. You fill in the rest...)

In any case, yes it is very exciting. Including from an epistemological point of view -- the idea of promoting arguments that actually change someone's mind is pretty cool (assuming the argument is sound and truthful).
I'm not sure if there's a simple implementation of FEM (might be < 50 lines of code) to understand the virtual of the algorithm then.

Ah yes, it makes sense when put that way. (Yet most of the time in a melody, a note that is outside the scale doesn't much sound as an inflection but as "wrong". Whereas a small vibrato (oscillating around the proper pitch without going too far away) feels more like a true modulation. And a portamento can make use of frequencies that aren't even in the chromatic scale at all.)

Hmm, some group needs to come together to crowdfund a series of tests by these companies versus a laboratory test to ensure we don't have a 'Everybody hosts on AWS' problem where all these tests actually go back to one or two labs across the entire nation.
It certainly works for the moderators - I agree. Whether it works for the community is another question.
Type systems cause programmers to write 300 classes no one references and many duplicates of each other.

Dynamic typing allows you to focus on what really matters, not trivial business logic OOP hierarchies that get inevitably ignored.

I feel like in app development, there’s something honest about dynamic typing. You’re focusing on the instance rather than the unnecessary model definition that again, nobody uses and redefined elsewhere anyway.

Tbh, I’ve never used a language like JS professionally. I’m sure a lot of code bases are copied and pasted messes with state dependencies and things that make it so you HAVE to focus on the type. It’s an app language, you’re just not gonna find elegance lol.

I’ve been a C# dev for a while now. I’ve just found that outside of libraries/frameworks/etc how rarely object model code actually gets reused. And I appreciate the cut to the chase aspect of that.

Insert quote about gorilla with banana in forest.
Investors. Even more sophisticated investors can be bamboozled by various claims. Because investors are usually trying to pick the future winners, they need these things as proxies to determine who is actually going to have the faster chips, or the lower costs, etc.

Analysts are often not from the exact line of business. They may have a bachelor's in engineering, or something, but they're usually not domain experts beyond having studied the field from a business perspective and gotten used to its lingo. So, these things can be kind of manipulative. That said, it's par for the course. It's better than outright lying and bribing the analysts like in the 2000-2002 telecom bust.
This being why I'm criticizing the actions of Tesla, illegally violating the orders of public health officials, while not being accountable to the public at large or even it's factory workers.

I don't understand the point you're making.
The number of transistors per square centimeter will vary a lot depending on application. High speed logic is less dense than power efficient logic is less than RAM, for example. I suppose you could use a metric like a minimum size 8T SRAM cell but then you'd have complaints about foundries gaming the system by making process choices to shrink that at the expense of other structures.
Little Snitch still costs money, it's just a different licensing model. It's not SaSS, so only a one-time fee to purchase for the tool.

The reason I'm open to paying a monthly fee for a SaSS offering is to keep getting new features and timely security updates, and support ensuring the recurring expense aspects of the service can stay alive. It's not entirely clear to me yet why PortMaster needs to be a SaSS, but it's not implausible.

I don't have any Windows or Linux desktop machines in regular use currently, looking forward to trying this out once the Mac version exists.
You might give Neil Postman's "How to Watch the TV News" a shot. He had some very prescient points regarding media and how it has transformed politics. Chomsky also has some interesting points on partisan politics.

But yeah, I totally agree, it just seems like very narrow minded allegiance. I think in the US it has a lot to do with conflicting interests of people in high-density places and the rural. I've got a population map overlayed on election results right now, and the data seems to fit that conclusion.

"We" are all held, arbitrarily, in the same group, which is... Absurd. It's like a hostage situation and it seems nobody has recognized that we're being held involuntarily.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but would a precondtion not just be the postcondition of the setup?

Invariants would either have to be publically available and thus easily testable with similar methods, or, one would have to use assertions in the implemention.

I try to avoid the latter, as it mixes implemations and 'test/invariants'. Granted, there are situations (usually in code that implements something very 'algorithm'-ish) where inline assertions are so useful that it would be silly to avoid them. (But implementing algos from scratch is rare in commercial code)
Respectfully, I disagree with that premise. That clearly hasn’t happened with OpenSage, Maxima, or half a dozen other old open source computer algebra systems, many of which were around as long as Mathematica.

If the open sourcing a system works as you describe - why haven’t those system received even a tenth of a polish that Mathematica has, over all these years?

I have my answer: because, even with all its warts, producing something of Mathematica quality requires tremendous coordinated efforts of hundreds of highly qualified professionals who need to be tightly coordinated.

If you try the “next best thing” - a few core enthusiasts plus a large number of users who do occasional contribution you can get to (an impressive) quality level of the above mentioned alternatives, but not higher.
