I'm fully bought in to the Apple ecosystem and I have always been puzzled when I hear about Apple perverting their product with the taint of advertisements. I recently realized that my puzzlement is because I don't use Apple News or Stocks and I do all app discovery away from the (cr)Appstore.

Unfortunately, I guess that the advertising infection will spread to the point where it is unavoidable. At that point, I will drop Apple and pray that there is a functional alternative.

> syntax for complicated language features appear in the simplest code

IDK, I hear you but I'm of two minds.

1. I think a lot of this is familiarity.

`public static void main(string[] args)`

That's a lot of stuff that I don't actually really need to care about but is in every single Java program. It even has 'static', which is honestly something I found very very confusing when I first learned Java (technically my first language since I took a course at a local community college).

Compare that to c,
`int main()`

That's a lot less in my face for sure.

But if I were used to Python? I'd just write my code directly in the file and it would execute from top to bottom. WTF is this `int` and `main` ???

In Java you have int and Integer, and Integer can be this "null" thing? I just wanted to add 2 and 2 wtf??

Generics? `class Foo<T>` ? WTF is `<>`?

The point is that what you have to learn when you first use the language is really going to depend on what you learned before it. I don't consider that complexity, it's just new.

The thing is that there is no language that you're likely to have used before that will prepare you for some bits of Rust.

2. Rust could be easier. It would be cool if there were a way for beginners to think less about the differences between String and &'a str and &'static str. At the same time, abstracting over those would have its own downsides - if you learn about strings in Rust in a way that abstracts that all out, will you understand the underlying components and how the abstraction works? It's tough.

I think the reality is that Rust is just not going to be as easy to learn as the same exact language but where lifetimes are managed at runtime. It probably shouldn't even try too hard to be that easy, because being that easy has costs, and there's a limit to how much you should optimize for newcomers. Rust has balanced things pretty well so far there - 2018 brought a lot of ergonomics wins that I frankly don't care for very much or even just forget about, but it helped tons of people pick the language up.

All this is to say, I think there's truth to what you're saying but I also think you may be attributing some issues to complexity where I believe it's an issue of familiarity.

I appreciate your opinion on this though, I do always find it so interesting to hear about how others view complexity and programming languages (when they're constructive about it).

This isn't surprising given that it's well known that we share more than 90% of our DNA with tree creatures across the universe
It shouldn't be surprising that lard is healthier than vegetable oil. Think about things like cotton-seed oil, rapeseed oil and canola oil. These things are imposible to consume without industrial processing. Meat has always been a staple in the human diet. It's the hunt in hunting and gathering: the gathering mainly beeing fruit, but admittedly also seeds. but of course the oil obtained in seeds never reached the amount we have now. While that's not conlclusive in itself there has actualy been a lot of research on polyunsaturated fatty acids lately with worrying results.

One could reasonably phrase the question this way: what evidence is there that polyunsaturated fatty acids are healthy?

Also, it's unreasonable to say that in a study of 15,000 people, the cause of those who used vegetable oil were those with ASCVD and therefore chose to cook with it.

In any event, this possibilty is ruled out:

>Based on 15,242 Chinese elderly people over 65 years old who had long-term adherence to dietary habits and types of edible oils,[...]

>And of course the usual link to wider socioeconomic status needs a bit more exploring.

This is accounted for in the article. In fact "evaluation of other variables" makes up the entire alaysis.
Their terms state you can also be a non-US Resident Citizen (expat). But generally yes that service is only for US Persons.

I wasn't really making a point about privacy.com specifically my comment was more to imply there are services that allow for arbitrary billing addresses.
This is exactly the type of attack many cypherpunk bitcoin types have been paranoid about for years.

And it's why in any good hardware wallet, you need to explicitly confirm the address you're transferring to on the wallet's air gapped screen and make sure it wasn't swapped in the copy/paste.

I'm sure it would also be quite easy for this kind of attacker to generate thousands of addresses they control, and have their software pick one that looks 'closest' to the one being subverted to increase the likelihood that a lazy user just sanity checks a few characters at the beginning and end of the address before confirming.

Survival of the most paranoid.

My gut reaction to this was disappointment that Signal is working on yet another not-messaging feature a la their crypto integration... But the longer I think about it, the more positive I feel. I actually enjoyed using stories on other social media platforms before I left them. The idea of something similar, but end-to-end encrypted, is actually exciting!
There is another in North America that was used for thousands of years before the French found it:

Called this months ago, he wants to butter up the next GOP congress since he will then be able to use that to completely ignore Nasa, EPA, Army Corps of Engineers, for SpaceX goals. He will do that while simultaneously removing workers rights for Tesla employees, all while probably in a massive market downturn.

Going to be real fun times ahead for American laborers.
In addition to the `trn` and Gnus readers that the article mentions, another great one was `strn`.

I don't mind magazine advertising, because those are hyper-specific to the topic you're actually interested in, because you bought a magazine all about it. If I'm reading a woodworking magazine and I see an ad for a new type of clamp or jig a company is advertising, yeah I'm interested! (Free "magazines" are trash, I'm talking about Fine Homebuilding, Ontario Out of Doors, etc.)

Online advertising is almost universally trash for me, and I'm not sure I've ever spent a cent because of it. It's always useless and irrelevant (no I don't need a car, or lipstick, alcohol, or iced tea, I'm super not interested in any of those). And yet, someone must be clicking those ads. I listened to a podcast where the (female) hosts said they had spent hundreds of dollars by clicking on Instagram ads for random products, and I was floored! Who clicks ads?!
Well, I loved this. Maybe a few more Clippy jokes at the end. Threatening letters to world leaders (“It looks like you are trying to resist”).
I don't know what you mean - if that's the case why didn't they realise that in like 2015, 2016, when these Java 9 features were added? And why haven't they been able to fix them since then?

I know about development realities, but seriously come on at some point?

Third party killfiles exist for Twitter. I was made aware of this via one particular topic. https://twitter.com/erininthemorn/status/1566988180678758400...
Part of the problem with Usenet is that it isn't "free" like Twitter and Facebook are. (They're free because they host ads, and there are all sorts of problems with that, of course, but you don't pay a monthly subscription to them). Way back, it used to be you got an NNTP server bundled with your ISP which was ok, because you were the only customer who knew what that was and how to use it, so you weren't creating a lot of load on your ISP. Even then, the NNTP server didn't carry much content, wasn't well maintained, didn't save much, so you had to pay more for a third-party server if you wanted to participate.

My hope for Usenet back in the day was a fully decentralized implementation that would allow each Usenet client to act as a client as well as a mini-server to cut the middleman out. Freenet (and I2P, I think) was sort of based on this idea at a very high level, but went in sort of a weird way (and didn't build on NNTP either).
I wanted to know too. It seems he was inspired by fish being naturally preserved in the arctic by wind and cold and how it was still tasted good later.

Being a BSD user myself, i just said that Windows is easier (overall). I especially talk about Active Directory and Group Policies, on Windows a matter of Hour's on Linux/BSD (a comparable system)...Weeks?

But yes *nix is much more flexible..but that comes with a cost, sometimes a massive one.

BTW Android is a free operating system.
While under her normal name she made a number of comments supporting the democrats. Saying to vote democrat, etc. No problem.

When she switched her name and picture to Elon, she broke an existing rule about no impersonation.

In effect, when both of these combined she was publicly spreading election misinformation by making it look like Elon Musk was recommending to vote democrat. Also against the rules.

This is not the first time she has broken the twitter rules; she must be surprised they got enforced this time.
I think they even dispensed $5s at the time, but my memory is a bit hazy about that.

At the time, my girlfriend (now wife) used to tell me I wasted so much $$ on ATM fees by only withdrawing $10 at a shot.

I told her I was not good at budgeting my money and I had a tendency to spend whatever was in my pocket, irrespective of the amount.

So, $10 was my way of putting brakes on my spending. Fees were just part of the cost of my budgeting method.

She married me anyway.
Decentralized Storage Researcher | Open Archive | Remote, Contract, FT, 100k/yr

OpenArchive helps human rights defenders to document and archive abuses. Our app, Save, empowers those capturing important mobile media to archive it securely. We plan to incorporate decentralized storage technologies into our portfolio of supported backends in the next year.

We want your help in deciding exactly which decentralized storage solution (e.g. IPFS, Filecoin, bittorrent...) we adopt and how to do it best.

This is a hard problem requiring the technical expertise to assess existing and emerging technologies beyond the "marketing hype" and to square what these offer with the needs of real people in unforgiving situations. Much of what you'll learn and document is interesting to a broad audience and we expect you to engage with the community at large via conferences, blogs, or articles.

Ideal candidates are great communicators who can share examples of their past research (posts, articles, etc.). We prefer folks with a related graduate degree and are open to hiring postdocs or funding academic research.

In the Python community this is called the "dead batteries" problem, and the example I like to bring up is the csv sniffer:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html#csv.Sniffer

This feature runs some heuristics and invents a new dialect of CSV based on a sample of the file. That should send chills down your spine, there is literally no safe way to use this thing. Using it in production is a bug in and of itself and will likely lead to security issues.
It's very general purpose. I feel like I could do anything in it. However, I still do numerical stuff and one-off scripts in Python, just due to lack of friction and not needing correctness/performance, and for bigger projects where being I/O bound is the main issue – I still use Rust, but I do wish there was an alternative which was "Rust but with a garbage collector".

Haskell and the ML family are fine but they just don't have the same number of high-quality libraries with the well thought out modern stdlib of Rust as a base. Elixir/Erlang/Lisps are fine but I'd really like strong, static types. Gleam/Pony are too niche. I'd like to like Scala but every time I try I run into something inscrutable and demonic, and the Java ecosystem is comprehensive but (in my opinion) super annoying.
As someone relatively new to finance, I have a newbie question - how do you know these details? I assume the leveraged buyout made some noise (how else did Musk get the funding?). Is this public information in some SEC filing somewhere or is this an inside scope/from some journalistic investigation?
Windows does support zeroconf networking out of the box, just different flavors from what Apple does out of the box. NetBIOS and LLMNR are Zeroconf DNS/service advertising in the same vein as Bonjour.
I actually like the idea of Stories (vs say a giant group text), but I don't think 24 hours is workable for the people I Signal with because we're not in Signal routinely enough and everything will just delete before anyone sees it. If it were configurable I'd probably set it to a week or a month. Actually, I don't know why they would fix the time at 24hrs. We've always been able to set the time period for disappearing messages.
this is pretty amazing tbh. scripting debuggers can be so tedious. i havemt tried it yet but this looks really sane and nice. thanks!
Note that Apple has taken away the ability of the iPad to serve as a Home Hub in the latest iPadOS, and the HomePod or HomePod Mini can also serve as Home Hubs.
I would agree with you that "most advertising" (your words) is currently immoral in that it tends to be a sub-par product pushed out the door for reasons based in greed. Or: *Spam*

But I don't think that is due to advertising in general being "default immoral". There is nothing fundamentally immoral about accepting payment in exchange for raising awareness of something.

As an aside: Accepting money in exchange for promotion without making it clear that you have been paid is certainly immoral.
Probably the most memorable was the Russians hacking the Democrats emails. Also Trump's lot meeting with the Russians before hand and the 100s of Russian troll accounts with names like American Patriot. I mean I know a lot of countries try to influence elections but is was all getting like something from a spy novel.

I'm not American and not hugely partisan on the right/left thing but I think the whole world was watching that one and thinking it a bit odd. Obviously the Russians were trying to help Trump and may have swung things a little given that the vote was so close.

> I love how Signal (and WhatsApp adopting Signal's protocol) made privacy easy for the general public and technically inclined alike. Privacy will never be the default until it's made easy.

WhatsApp did not really adapt it in privacy mind, to be fair. All metadata is unencrypted.

Meta harvests your contact information, intervals and time when you message specific persons. Often, this information is more interesting than the message content itself.
Doesn't "India" include the Indian people?
There was some discussion of this over on Reddit. I didn't see evidence of it, but the claim was that this had already happened. I'd be curious if someone had some examples of it in the wild.
I had the same thought process. I still use Instagram, but only post stories. It’s fun and less pressure than posts, and get to share fun and irreverent things with friends.
or at least that server hosts can support easily like they do with wordpress
The reason it's not the "best Signal" is that WhatsApp doesn't have reproducible builds or any guarantees that e2e isn't subverted on the client side or removed entirely. And it's run by a company with incentives that are misaligned to e2e encryption and a history of product updates that don't respect the privacy or preferences of the end user.

Blaming everything from people disliking the new Star Wars to Election results on “Russian Bots” is really old.

My relationship with Chinese people is great. I have a chinese ex, whose mom is hyper critical of the CCP and hates communism. They’re not Han chinese, they’re one of the less desirable ethnicities, and they didn’t feel well treated. Anyways.

Authoritarian regimes are bad. The fact that this authoritarian regime has mongoloid/asiatic facial features is irrelevant. I hated GWB’s expansion of the security state and two senseless middle eastern wars, I hated Obama killing American citizens without trial, and I hated Trump’s… everything, basically, but admittedly withdrawing from Afghanistan was p cool. Stopped clocks etc.

Anyways it’s totally consistent with wanting a just world to also hate the largest authoritarian regime in that world. This “but what if it’s because you’re racist?!?!” line is an absurdity
Thanks for posting. I've been writing up my own experiences so the only thing I will put in here is that I don't consider these experiences mystical. They are mechanical. Push this button and get this effect.

I think the fifth jhana, the base of infinite space, is explained best in the novel Flatland when he visits Pointland. The point beings know nothing but their own existence and their thoughts radiate a continual blissful stream of relishing infinity and unity. I guess if you're a point in space that's how it would feel. The b-o-i-s is, IMHO, a perceptual illusion that occurs when you successfully exclude external sense data, focusing your attention completely on your own body and thoughts. You become for a time a resident of Pointland. It is quite pleasant, but the life changing stuff does not happen there.
That's always the problem - most obvious in companies but also visible with governments - anything that is for "once in a lifetime emergencies" gets ignored or downsized eventually because it's hard to explain the reasons for the costs.
Keep in mind that your local view of the Federated timeline is instance dependent.

The Federated timeline is best described as "all content from other instances by profiles followed by accounts on your own instance".

If you're running, say, a single-user instance, the "Federated" and "Home" timelines will be identical.

If you're on a large instance, the Federated timeline will be fairly comprehensive (and tends to clock along quite quickly). If you're on a smaller instance, the timeline will generally be far smaller. And of course, if your instance restricts (through any of various levels of blocking) remote instances or accounts, the Federated timeline will lack those as well.

Put another way: there's no such thing as a "universal" Fediverse feed, at least not without some very heavy-handed (and widely discourage) automated following.

The article is talking about India's economic development during the period 2005-2021. How you mangle that into an anti-Biden remark is bizarre.
I think in a few years India will find focusing on middle class is not enough. There's finite demand for domestic+outsourceable white collar jobs for 1.4B internal market + ~400M English speakers around the world. PRC has 10s of millions of white collar jobs + 100s of millions of manufacturing that pays better than trickle down housesitting, but there's still 100s of millions more stuck in informal economy while both countries are stuck with another few 100s of millions of subsistent farmers because keeping agriculture low tech is an essential jobs program. Even by PRC standards, India is hyper Deng's "let some get rich first" scheme that's going to cause long term uneven development issues.
Yeah I think casual observers miss the fundamental political apathy of most Russians.

Overthrown leaders don't have a power base; mobs aren't going to turn out to return a deposed leader to power. Once they are irrelevant, they're going to stay that way, and everyone knows it.
For anybody who's as confused as I was: :hover and :focus have been around since CSS2, which was released in 1998 ... but Internet Explorer only supported them on links for a long time, not on arbitrary elements, so that was where jQuery came in.

Ahh, I really really don't miss those days, and I'm rather happy to have reclaimed the giant chunk of memory that used to hold things like quirks mode and hasLayout.

I've used JS generator functions at work. Part of it is redux-saga, which has already been mentioned, but part of it is another use.

We use generators to implement functions that can make requests to the caller for more information. So the caller f calls the generator function g, creating an iterator, and then calls iter.next(...) in a loop. If the result is not done then the return value is a request from g to f for more information, which f supplies. If the result is done then g has returned a value and f can use it.

The reason we do this is actually an architectural one. In this case, the extra information supplied by f to g comes from an external network, and g lives in an internal library that we don't want making any network requests or having any networking dependencies. My boss came up with this solution, and so far it's worked out pretty well for us!

Note that before we split things up like this, g did make network requests directly, so g was async and its code was full of awaits. After switching it to this new structure, the awaits just became yield*s. :) (And the actual network requests themselves became yields.)
What if the prices are inflated and we are not sending as much as we could?
