The Verge article links to a 'local news site' afriksoir.net that looks really shady, similar to clickbait spam sites.

Registered on April 9th, 2019 with GoDaddy according to WHOIS.

It's top story today is just commenting on some Ivorian politican's Twitter feed https://afriksoir.net/lobognon-junte-goita-integrite-mali-jo...

And it's not linked to any established West African news organization.

This took me about 10 minutes of digging to uncover. So if Verge thinks this is a credible source that really speaks volumes.
With the direct indexing products many brokerages have rolled out lately, you can now also create your own subset, superset and/or re-weighting of an index and invest in that.
If function means marketing in this context, ill see myself out.
I haven’t read the article, but maybe not all distortions need correction. Maybe in some cases somebody might need to balance their optimism in such a way that more wisdom can be utilized, but I still see nothing wrong with embracing a distortion, especially one as helpful as being optimistic.
The data does have party affiliation if that’s a thing in the particular state, as well as residential information, at least from what I’ve seen.
If you punish every country retroactively for crimes committed ages ago, every country would cease to exist. There is no country without blood on its hands, historically. This is like saying that you should go to jail because your grandfather jaywalked 80 years ago, which was not a crime back then but is now.
And yet after the invention of the gun attacking a prepared defensive positions often results in fewer casualties.

Defensive structures offset but don’t eliminate the advantage of initiative, especially when you start talking about a lone defender who needs to sleep etc.

> Would your new remote work colleague "friends" that you met once in a company retreat fly over from their countries and take care of you? Probably not.

Who said you can only have IRL friends through work? It's possible to have interactions outside the work context and to make friends outside of work.
I am also not sure whether good quality low grain film was likely easier to achieve in 120 format? Bigger film - low grain.

And since the lenses were bigger, perhaps also easier to manufacture vs high quality low size high precision 35mm lenses ?
Really surprised fosstodon.org doesn't get mentioned on HN more..
Who cares about "winning the market". Join a server and talk with your friends, colleagues, and like-minded people. Have a good time. Kick a few bucks at your instance for hosting costs maybe. Let the back-alley knife fight for the right to spy on & manipulate you happen somewhere else, never even crossing your mind.
> What could materialize is different spheres of influence, where one set of standards is used for all associated devices in one group of nations, and another set for a separate group.

From an investment standpoint, that means companies would have to incur extra costs to manufacture to, say, China-oriented standards and Western-oriented ones.

China has become dominant not via military might, but economic might. Establishing standards is another notch in that bed post.

China will, as the West has in the past, ask / expect its allies to favor its standards. Which ultimately guarantees market(s) for the products that use those standards.

China's power increases again and its DoD budget a fraction of the aggregate of The West. New rules for a new century (that The West can't seem to grasp).
The journalists are really enjoying this whole Twitter meltdown, I mean I do too, but they are really milking it.

I agree with the points, the hammer attack should've been condemned by everyone, but as always the conservatives created a conspiracy theory out of it, making up an illicit gay prostitute lover on the spot. This is what millions of people believe now, you can't convince them otherwise, thanks to people like Elon Musk, who is the king of disinformation and market manipulation.
Functionally they own all land. There’s just contract law blocking the direct seizure.
You probably misunderstood my comment. I never claimed you couldn't have IRL friends outside of work. In fac that's exactly my point. Read my comment again please.
Of course, but this is not a reasonable take. The foreign money isn’t to blame for gentrification, local policymakers are.
Fair enough, but is there a viable alternative?
Don't sweat the small stuff.

It's pretty much all small stuff.

For anyone who's used to fd/jk/kj/jj/jf or the like in Vim as an alias to ESC to exit insert mode, it looks like Helix is not too usable as of today: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/2612

I would've considered exploring Helix myself if it wasn't for this.
I'm not an expert but I still don't get it. If everyone is buying everything then the whole market is overvalued? Is it possible for everything to be overvalued? Overvalued compared to what yardstick? Stock performance is also not a direct indicator of future company performance. At the end of the day buyers are still taking an educated guess at the future. If everyone does this randomly aren't we just back to the whole market being invested in? If it's not random and skewed to popular companies like Apple or Coke then isn't that another artificial thumb on the scale?

Isn't Burry in essence saying that if everyone sold all their stocks then the market as a whole is a bubble?

I'm quite confused.
Oh boy, in 2022 you could not afford writing a broken binary search in any serious coding interview. Back before 2006 apparently PhD students in CMU could not.
I'm a long time user of vim/nvim and have learnt so many great techniques from "practical vim". Helix looks good, and the speed is impressive.

It does seem very code-centric though, movements seem based with this in mind. I also find it inconsistent that some movements cannot be combined with actions but others can.

Having said that, there are certainly some ways that vim could be reimagined. I find beginning and end of line movements awkwardly placed by default, as is moving up and down by half and whole pages.

I have a feeling that movement-action paradigm as opposed to action-movement paradigm of vim will have some tradeoffs with visualisation being a plus, and more advanced repetitions bring a negative, but I haven't totally thought this through.
Housing is the Business Cycle (2007)
This interpretation is a little better, but I think my objections still apply.
I think I will trust/use/invest in the company whose business model depends on me using the platform.
Interesting. My impression of American anti-intellectualism is that it more often takes the opposite form:

"X person is by all measures more educated than me on this topic, but I did own research! (on Youtube and Facebook)"
How is that different from email though? Email providers will block whole swaths of IPs without telling you but you don't really notice it because it's very likely those IPs are only being used maliciously.

We're in a weird time right now though. Most people choose an email provider based on word of mouth or what their friends use but not enough people know about Mastodon to make that possible. Maybe Mastodon itself isn't the right answer, but I hope that a federated/distributed system is.
Tamriel Rebuilt – October 2022 Progress Update
Everyone here saying that the alternative to Twitter is just not using social media at all because it's toxic and useless... have you considered that maybe you're just using it wrong or following the wrong people? Why is my experience so different?

I've gone to meetups, made new friends, gone to dates, found job offers, etc. all thanks to Twitter, Twitter has probably been the biggest kickstarter to my social life since I moved to the city.

Anyone dealing with arrays containing a billion elements or more really ought to be using 64 bit arithmetic to avoid problems like this. Certainly better to do this the right way though.
I really like helix. So much that I've switched from jetbrains to neovim.

I think hx is way more "discoverable" than vim with it's "whichkey" by default functionality and it's motion-first structure is way more attractive to me.

As someone used to an IDE, I just really want git integration and other things. As soon as they land on a plugin system, maybe it will be viable.
I have bought and sold secondhand Apple devices (Macs and iPhones) many times without problem. What are you basing your comment there on?

Yes, as an anti-theft measure, the seller has to explicitly log out of the device before transferring it. Erasing the device prompts you to do this.

Apple has many, many faults, but I don't see this as one of them.
You can do it in linux, with drivers that implement packet injection. You're giving up a lot, though. I think you're right about it being a wash with regard to control overhead. In particular, because of the data ACKs, the firmware can aggressively ramp the 802.11 frame data rate up and down. Thanks to packet aggregation, the cost of the frame preamble gets amortized across all buffered up data. Letting each application schedule its own transmission would quickly eat up the available channel bandwidth in frame overhead. It works for a single specialized application, but monopolizes the entire shared channel.

Folk do that sort of thing when transmitting low latency first-person-video from drones, using commodity wifi hardware.
Started using helix as my $EDITOR a few weeks ago and so far I love it.

Especially 'hx --health' and its built-in ability to use many language LSP's.

My helix config file is literally 3 lines long, and with that I get full language support.

I mean I hear this a lot, and I don't have the same experience, so I can only say that for my special case it seems to work very well, twitter is one of the rare internet hubs where normal discussions sometimes happen. I'm a philosopher that works as a software dev, I'm grew up on the internet and am very openminded and anti-ideological so I can't really get offended, but even so I don't think many have really tried. I use twitter mostly for philosophy discussions. I haven't really been a target of any noteworth toxicity except in the Trump erra, where I had to unfollow a lot of official professor's accounts that were just spamming anti-Trump articles 24/7, I guess some people thought I was the asshole as I have been blocked by a few but mostly without any interaction (I think just for following others that they don't like).

As for freelance jobs, I can't imagine where I would even look without Linkedin. There are some local forums that have job postings but nothing useful for a freelancer in EU.

> And this sort of thing would also kill individual residents that aren't agriculture conglomerates with deep pockets. Agriculture water use must be separated from residential uses.

That's pretty easy to do with graduated rates, where customers are charged a low rate for the first X gallons of water, but then higher rates for more usage.

The bigger issue, though, is water rights are completely fucked. In a lot of jurisdictions you are free to suck out any water you can with a well on your property. That means those with the "strongest pump" are essentially free to suck out all the water from their neighbors. Our system of water rights in the West needs a major overhaul that won't be easy due to entrenched, powerful interests and the difficulty of changing some of these laws.
I implemented the RS encoder that ended up being used on the production satellite bus for the telemetry system in space systems / Loral upgraded bus during my engineering coop in school! All in verilog. It's complicated especially the decoder but understandable with time. The turbo codes and more modern extensions that enable lte / 5g and other low power / small antenna applications are absolute black magic though. Such a cool field!
That book any good?
No thank E-you
It's also how GCS (and the underlying Colossus system) works.

This is so wildly untrue I'm wondering if you wrote it just to prod someone to jump in here and start the DNSSEC argument. Less than 4% of North American names are signed. Virtually nobody uses DNSSEC.

Further, this code implements a stub resolver querying 8.8.8.8 --- in that scenario, there is no DNSSEC verification, as you know. For stub resolvers, the kind your browser or OS uses, DNSSEC condenses down to a single bit in the header that the server uses to say "trust me, I did DNSSEC".
Not quite. Lotus doesn't facilitate payments. Our job ends after we calculate the invoice a customer owes. We integrate with Stripe (working on Bill.com integration) so you can change customers through their payment gateway.

Lotus offers metering, a simpler frontend to iterate on plans, pricing experiments, and actual feature entitlements in our plans so that both the price and the features in a plan live in the same place. Stripe doesn't offer these components.
The problem arises where an account gets verified as one thing and then changes to become another, this happens all the time with trolls who can make/buy/extort verified accounts.

They then spoof being the real person, and verification then means absolutely nothing cause they are functionally identical to a bypasser.

By having verification be really hard to get, trolls have a lot harder time getting accounts and the problem is smaller in scope.
This reminds me of the toll roads here in America. We can’t afford to take care of our own roads so we’ve opened it up to foreign investment. Companies based internationally now own our roads too.
> I'm looking for ideas/links for how to make autocomplete better and more predictable.

Consider taking a hint from every code editor. As the user types they are presented with a drop-down list of completions and corrections for the current word. This list hovers below the cursor and moves with it. The top item of the list is automatically selected such that hitting the completion key combo (often just the Tab key) replaces the current word with the selected item from the drop-down. The elements of the drop-down are sorted by likelihood of them being what the user meant to type and are navigated with up/down arrow keys. Hitting escape hides the completion drop-down and allows the user to use the up/down keys to move the cursor. At any time the user can press a key-combo to bring up a completion/correction drop-down for the word under the cursor.
Well, that’s 7 years of major updates with all the security fixes. Moreover, Apple continues to release minor versions for devices that are not supported anymore, in order to fix major flaws that are actively exploited ITW (see iOS from 12.4.2 to 12.5.6, those are a lot of minors released over the years to address 0d ITW, same thing happens with macOS)
Good RGB monitors would have higher resolution (finer mask), higher quality, faster electronics for better signal fidelity and higher bandwidth (for higher resolution) and (depending on intended application) phosphors with longer persistence to avoid flicker.
I've recently been passionate about figuring out my social-lackings and really spending the time to grow as a person. I know that's a lofty and amorphous goal, but it seems to be really important going forward. I agree that it can be hard to find that sense of connection online but albeit a miracle, it's not impossible these days.

I've been working on building out a community, and if reading any of this has resonated with you, we have a home here to join if you're longing for that sense of community as well:

That’s pretty much what their opposition wants. Previously they controlled what was allowed to be said on the mainstream platforms and that was influential. Scattering off to 1000 different Balkanized ghettos puts them back on the margins. This was what happened to the far right already.
I'd suggest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field - they'd probably get to the page you linked in trying to understand finite fields, but finite fields (AKA Galois fields) are exactly what the post is about.
Lots of browsers format links with just a thin underline and no color change. I actually prefer that approach since it avoids the visual color clutter. Would be nice to have an option to do that instead of color.

Lots of great ideas, especially the format affinity indication/control. Is that just arrow key or arrow with cmd key? If it is only the arrow key, how do you distinguish user intent to actually move the cursor vs change the affinity?
That is just "past discussion", not a dupe. A dupe suggests there's a competing conversation happening right now that may be splintering the discussion.
Several nuances:

"Controlled reentry" isn't necessarily synonymous with "booster recovery". Most rockets have a way to deorbit the upper stage once its job is done, either by firing the main engine retrograde, or using a small dedicated deorbit motor. By firing the motor about half an orbit before the projected reentry point, you can control exactly when and where the stage will reenter the atmosphere, hence controlled reentry.

Second, the Long March 5B is somewhat unique among rockets in that its large main stage stays with the payload all the way until orbital insertion. Most other rockets drop a large majority of their bulk long before it has enough energy to stay in orbit for any appreciable amount of time. Probably the closest comparison in this category is the space shuttle's big orange external tank, as it provides fuel for the main engines until just a hair below orbital velocity, but it's subsequently jettisoned and the orbit is completed using the shuttle's onboard thrusters.

So you have a combination of (no deorbit capability) and (big tank floating in orbit) that results in (big tank crashing down at an arbitrary location whenever it feels like coming down to earth).
Might the lighter O2 naturally rise away from the organics layer? It may then be able to oxidize metals and meteors sprayed into the upper atmosphere, eventually falling back down with those compounds to fertilize the substrate.

I agree with you that productivity for managers versus programmers is different, but my view is that the majority of workers do more work in person and people actually really enjoy being productive! The “body doubling” that goes on in offices is IMHO an underestimated phenomenon, especially for new employees coming into the workforce. For remote work to be a permanent choice, I think we need to be a bit more honest about the benefits of being in-office. Giving employees the choice is very important to me, just trying to give my perspective.

Yes and each time you process the incoming camera data in the neural network you have extra calculations due to the sensor fusion with another data source, regardless of its bitrate. Have you worked with deep learning much?
'bpftool' provides a list of loaded bpf programs, but playing around with it just now, it is not obvious to me how to get the actual loaded bpf program details (e.g, pre-JIT version of the loaded program [or even the JIT version]). The man page is pretty terse.

'bpftool prog' / 'bpftool prog list' / 'bpftool prog show' all provided the same output (sample below), and e.g., adding the index in the list, to any of the above commands is an error.

e.g.,

# bpftool prog

Does anyone know if it is possible, and how to get the details on the loaded bpf programs?

EDIT:

Loading a bpf program to snoop on mount/umount events, I get:

So, at least, even without any more details, it is possible to see that something is monitoring mount/unmount. But, still curious about my orginal question.
Why would you expect to be able to sign up to "the official ActivityPub microblogging platform of the EU institutions, bodies and agencies (EUIs)"? The link could offer some explanation, but the idea is to redirect you to the main project's page where you can pick an open instance. This one obviously wouldn't be open.

Leasehold comes with its own problems.

Part of why China now has a imploding property market is that governments got addicted to leasehold revenues to keep taxes low, and so encouraged a lot of artificial scarcity. Affordability is much worse there; house prices in NYC are 10.5x income, SF is 12, LA is 13.

Shanghai has a house to income price ratio of 47

China will invade Taiwan regardless because their "Great Leader" has made it the center of his foreign policy. Now that there's no more opposition to his rule we can only wait for the ax to fall.

I've already come to the conclusion China has won this fight, because the economic cost will be too great for the West to bare.

My advice to the Biden Administration would be to deprecate the relations with Taiwan to lower expectations of an intervention.
