Well of course buying twitter is not only about twitter. Twitter being capable of shape politics and society should not be regarded as a revolutionary idea, I bet everyday Joe can come into it in a pot trip. Will Musk be able to do such because he's "playing 5d chess" or will he run twitter to the ground because "he's just a rich idiot" which seem to be the postures in the comment section is totally unrelated.
Depends on if you're allowed to use a bump gun[0]. I consider a lock bump gun a proper zero knowledge method, using a bump key still requires nonzero skill.

I’m just finishing up reading Dominic Sandbrook’s, “Adventures in Time:Alexander the Great” with my 12 year old. Great fun and an incredible tour. Once we’ve done, we are going to watch the “Trial of Alexander the Great”. I know the verdict but I won’t add a spoiler:

He is the lead and could have stopped the ban, obviously. But there is a team of 2000 people doing bands, not just a single person.

I created this account after the last previous one achieved 100 karma, precisely because I dislike intensely these popularity contests in whatever form. I saw someone mentioning doing this and thought it was a good idea.

As for the attack, if I have to describe the attack and having to justify my reaction I'm playing the same game of peer validation again.

Elno decided the guy must be a pedophile since he is a foreigner in Thailand, and so likewise this perfect stranger decided based on the avatar ( a piece of baked bread ) or based on any word I used in the description, or the country where I said I was, whatever, I have no idea, to simply follow and insult me in an unrelated way -- when blocked, his contact list continued, at which point for me it's not worth the effort. Maybe they just go after Vietnamese for fun, or French, or Java developers, how would I know why they do this ?

I'm not trying to achieve anything, I described my experience and asked about others. I assume it happens often.

And I'm off as I see this is becoming exactly what I wanted to avoid.
i don't see any issue here. same behavior can be achieved with slices:
foo := make([]int, 0, 1000)
for {
for k := range bar {
foo = append(foo, k)
}
foo = foo[:0]
}

the slice will grow as much as the largest dataset. map will be the same. you need to let go of it to be GCd and create a new one.

Depends, could be a no if copilot identifies solutions by looking for consensus matches.

To illustrate, google translate got suddenly better some time ago when it searched literary texts for phrase matches and then cross-referenced known translations to give you a translation.

Copilot is perhaps doing something similar (somewhat as an analogy) copilot could maybe be finding exactly one sample that it suggests, in which case there could be attribution.

It is unlikely to offer any solution without a consensus. To further the example, how can you be confident in that translation? What if there is not just one literary match, but many thousand and 99.9% agree.

Without that high match percentage, it would be difficult to know if the result is a accurate, or with a small set of disagreeing matches, again it would. E hard to give an accurate answer. I don't know for sure, though seemingly copilot would have some threshold of agreement across multiple matches before it suggests a solution
Really?? Hmm, I wonder what's different on my setup then. Thanks for letting me know.
Own Square for tech is GitHub, far away from Twitter
QDOS had a CP/M API just like MacOS has a Unix API without using any code from the original. A program would convert 8 bit CP/M 80 code to QDOS 16 bit code. So it was easy to find software.

Microsoft did this with OS/2 and IBM, making their own OS/2 and naming it Windows NT. Windows NT saved Microsoft after Windows ME ruined it. Windows 2000 and XP were based on Windows NT not Windows 9X.

Microsoft is currently looking at Linux with WSL and porting their own Dotnet and VS Code to Linux.

Yeah HN does that, screws up reddit comment links too.
Hmm, no, but last I checked you can use hltracker.com , which someone snapped up and my friend is running the tracker server for! :) Yeah, we just idle around and occasionally chat. Activity is extremely variable. Of course, the upside is there's the trusty News area. Most posts are "hello from [old computer] I got running with [old OS]! Hotline was the best!" , and similar such nostalgic sentiments :) haha

Indeed, well last I checked with WebSockets they're not legit TCP/IP sockets, so I'd still be stuck doing some kind of intermediary/proxy or something... Dunno, haven't looked into it that much yet. I don't know of any way to open a raw TCP socket in a browser, though maybe some obscure solution exists that I don't know about..

Did all of your family members only message you and not each other? I don't understand why they would move away from signal when they were messaging each other using signal. Each one would have several signal contacts.

Did they not see any value in signal over SMS? Didn't you have any group chats?
You seem to think that COVID was definitely man made, but we still don't have enough data to make any kind of assertion on that. Some recent finds lean more to a zoonotic source.

As for censorship, I don't think anyone is censoring truly good studies on this stuff right now. And I don't think there is that much central control of the entire medical and scientific community.

Take ivermectin, for example. Low power, poorly conducted studies trying to point to the benefits of Ivermectin to treat covid are still coming out. Doesn't seem like they are being censored.
> good luck running a test in a blackhole

Theoretically speaking, it's not that hard to run a test inside a black hole (getting to one is the hardest part that we know of). It's communicating the results to anyone else that's "slightly" harder.

Jokes aside, in physics we have both a problem with what can be tested, but also one on the theory/mathematics side. Even for a relatively technical problem, we don't have any good way of solving the actual equations of any slightly complex system in either GR, QM, even Newtonian mechanics. We are actually always relying on numerous approximations and simplifying assumptions, and some of these could themselves lead us astray in some cases.
I know, but I'd prefer if it came that way from manufacturer instead of hacking at it away.

Like, I converted one of (sadly out of production) mpower pro power strips (it was great, cheap 6 socket with power measurement per socket) to talk to it but it wasn't exactly great experience.

The config of IoT devices should be just "start an app, point it to your (or cloud) controller, done", not "browse compatibility list and hope HASS supports it and the manufacturer won't break that support on update".
Somehow I doubt giving out unlimited free sodas is "as intended." This is why it's an atomicity fail, leading to an inconsistent transaction. It should never be blocked according to the payment mechanism and unblocked according to the delivery mechanism.
I have no emotion towards C. It is an old language and certainly an imperfect one. The thing is you just need to come up with something better. Maybe someday that can be Rust or another language. But you need something to replace it.

This will not be a quick change. C is interoperable, and the industry is moving slowly.
It's actually a really elegant solution as there is nil correlation of risk: the key is useless without physical access and physical access is useless without knowing the login.

Your government might be able to get the key - if that's part of your threat model - but they probably have easier ways to force you to give it up.

Anyway, FDE is often on by default. Do you really believe the average user is going to print out the backup key?! Do even tech savvy users have printouts of all their eg 2FA codes? Anyway, that would have worse correlation of risk as users would probably keep the printout next to their computer.

A tool which automatically translates plain English to SQL using GPT-3
At (former employer) were did a good a pretty good job at solving this. We were deployed to AWS, using EKS, SQS, Aurora, S3 and a small amount of lambda. When a new developer got onboarded, they were given their own slice of the dev environment: ingress, EKS namespace, S3 buckets, database and SQS queues. But it was still running within the same VPC and k8s cluster, with the same IAM (all those roles and policies that matched production and we're an important piece of testing). There was little additional infrastructure complexity, and no extra cost since the partitioning of usage-priced services and EKS namespaces is free. Developers also had access to shared infrastructure and the latest changes made by their colleagues. But everyone also had their own local microk8s + minio + mysql, so as long as they were happy to deploy the latest full testing release of everybody else's stuff, they could use that. When using their local cluster, they still had access to some cloud stuff like SQS and S3 (but not Aurora, they had to reply on a k8s deployed mysql).

We saw the cloud environment as an essential tool to provide the developers with, but not a tool that it was essential for developers to use. In fact, we had a preference for keeping dev working, so initial work on large changes should be done locally and deployed to dev once they're working. Dev was there to protect the testing environment and make sure that developers had a "real" cloud environment.

In other words, you don't have to deploy to dev, but if you break the testing environment because you didn't deploy to dev, there would be raised eyebrows.
Everyone in the fediverse community says "we're not a twitter replacement". It's a space for taking back control of communication. You don't join the fediverse, you are a part of it and contribute to build it.

There's a core of a couple of dozen users who post most days, a few folk who drop in and out, and some very very prolific posters including the co-founder whose post count has spiked since he retired :-D

I'm not sure really what it costs to run, a couple of hundred quid a year. It'd be nice if adverts were bringing in enough for it to wash its face but I feel that the presence of adverts diminishes the user experience more than the value they create.

I'm fortunate in that I'm running servers already for other hobby projects so the cost is already sunk. If I wanted to spin up another FlaskBB forum I'd be using literally everything that already exists and the cost would be pretty much just the domain name.

All true, but in Europe you need a 5-year degree to start a PhD.

Or did they just like, private message you or something?

That's a beautiful chart. It's amazing how over 1,000 years of records can now be easily seen by us, thanks to the incredible discipline and stability of the Japanese society.

I also find it incredible that there were several outlier years before, that were quite close to the early blossoms we're seeing in recent years, so the earliest one in 2011 was actually not completely unprecedented... but of course, the pattern is very clear that something is way off since the 1980's and the end line is unequivocaly going down, fast.

Thank you for this, though I will recommend that next time you use something that wraps, as this view still doesn't work for phones (I have to keep scrolling left and right).
holiday destinations popular with Norther Europeans (anywhere on the Mediterranean basically) have an enormous competitive advantage in attracting digital nomads. They were all 'losers' in the EU era - Italy, Greece, Portugal - now stand to revive and rebalance by reversing immigration flow which has hitherto been South to North.
> What has the American far left or center-left actually done that's as bad as, for example, the recent attempted insurrection or the stripping of rights from women and LGBT people perpetrated by the right?

This line of reasoning would just fall into the same error of justifying oppressive actions by the American left "because they are aimed at a group that is even worse".

I consider the examples cited in the article to be very alarming, for example:

> Soon after that, a few colleagues and I attempted to pass the Chicago Statement—what I viewed as a very basic set of principles about the necessity of free speech on campus. My shock continued as students broke into a faculty meeting about the Chicago Statement screaming “free speech harms” and demanding that white male professors “sit down” and “confess to their privilege.”

This scene chillingly echoes the birth of previous oppressive tyrannies, in Nazi Germany, and Communist Russia and China. Its overt oppression and silencing of opposing views, its deliberate disruption and eradication of civil open debate, its ideological principled and fervent objection to civil liberties such as free speech, the identity politics (and motifs of divisive class/race warfare), the implied violence, the struggle-session public pressure on the sinful individuals to confess their sins...

The fact that the radical American left aligns itself with two of these past tyrannical regimes serves to increase this alarm.

But the worst of all concerns is that these aren't some shrill fringe radicals who are being ignored as such; no, this faction has become dominant to the point of controlling the policies of our academic, social, and cultural institutions.

The article describes leading academic institutions, publications, and even government institutions like the National Science Foundation and the NIH which are bowing to the radical leftist mob and its demand. All these key institutions are increasingly captured and controlled by this radical ideology, putting these oppressive, tyrannical radicals effectively in control of an increasing number of our important societal, cultural, and academic institutions.

(In a way that the small number of right-wing radicals who tried to storm the capitol are very much not; in fact, their magnification as an excuse to further promote oppression, tyranny, and institutional radicalism also evokes alarming echoes of the past.)

I'm kinda worried it will be the usual bloated standard by comitee result; tho I guess even if that happens it would still be better to have to implement one bloated standard instead of dozen incompatible ones.

Also at least wikipedia page says its "Proprietary, by certification" so eh, I'm worried
You can't teach to a mob that are charging you with pitch forks. You need to realize the difference between the situation of a mob vs a single student. The single student can be handled. The mob not at all.
I've spent some time trying to work with Sonic Pi, but I've really struggled with the syntax, finding it difficult to work with. I'm fluent in Python but find the use of colons is the real sticking point.

If anyone's got any suggestions, or can point to a python version of the same (I spent a fair bit of time working with FoxDot which does use python so it made more sense to me) it'd be appreciated - this is something I'd really like to get into, but have found the hurdles a bit too tall!
> What has the American far left or center-left actually done that's as bad as, for example, the recent attempted insurrection or the stripping of rights from women and LGBT people perpetrated by the right?

The civil unrest of the summer of 2020 - 19 deaths, billions in damages. Accompanied by a heaping spoonful of apologetics from the media, academics and certain corporations.

I believe the overturning of Roe and the insurrection were terrible, for the record.

Is it still true that "economically marginalized groups... tend to vote democrat"? In 2020, Trump won "high school or less" by 15 points, while Biden won postgraduates by 35 points [0] – surely the former group are much more "economically marginalized" than the later? Likewise, I would be surprised if there is anyone with a postgraduate degree who lacks government-issued ID, while I would expect that the vast majority of those who do lack it would belong to the "high school or less" educational category.

I had to move part of the Code to C for different reason (imaging device) and used that code in a .net application. But allocating unmanaged memory on .nets heap led to memory fragmentation and while overall there was enough memory available, you ran into allocation errors since unmanaged memory needed to be allocated in one successive block. Usually doesn't happen, but if you have large objects like high resolution images in memory, you can quickly run into problems. And to my knowledge there was no way to check if there was enough successive memory available.

Had to wait on a patch for .net... not a problem anymore today, although I don't know the details how they solved the problem.
I know no FORTRAN. I just support many researchers who use it extensively, and make sure their code works with the hardware we provide to them.

SMBC on how to avoid wasting time on useless socialmedia info
> manual way of activating BitLocker

That method lead to tons of people not using it. It also lead to tons of drive lockouts due to people not knowing the password and not backing up the key. Good security is transparent to the user, making the user do things makes them insecure.

There are a ton of authentication options for a Microsoft account that aren’t passwords (they are the “passwordless” people after all). You can set up as many as you want (and will be nagged about it until you do!). Install Authenticator, configure whatever your phone offers for biometrics to unlock it, and get on with your day.
Oh great notepad of the lake, what is your wisdom?

"Social media does not make people stupid.
It just makes stupid people more visible."
Well, again I am sorry to hear it. What you describe sounds like a kind of information warfare to poison cross-platform interactions, and it's unfortunately widespread at present. If you do not know how to read such situations then it's probably better to avoid social media altogether during periods of upheaval.
It’s one of the most annoying features of HN. I’ve tried submitting GitHub comments to no avail, since it’s impossible to get a permalink to them.
Yes, this is true. You cannot start directly with a US 4-year Bachelor's, you would need a 1-year Master's. I suppose this can be a deterrent for many, but I still see many people with MSc degrees that complain (understandably) about all the hurdles of US PhDs and could benefit from considering Europe.
