This seems like just a complete misunderstanding of scepticism. And of thought. It's an absurd extreme and they try to claim that any movement towards scepticism must land at that extreme or it's "faith-based".

I looked up the quote and it's from G.K. Chesterton, a Christian apologist. Also the man for which the fence was named. But that's beside the point.

It totally tracks that an apologist would want to cast aspersions on scepticism in general. In a way, it's a tacit admission that religious thought is not rational and can never be defended on the basis of rationality or logic. So they stop trying and start trying to make the claim that rationality and logic just don't exist. That even acceptance of reality requires irrational faith. The idea is that once you accept that premise, you have to accept the premise of a deity also based on irrational faith.

But we can demonstrate that there is a shared reality that is not capable of being "thought" away. You can take any relatively sharp object and stab it through their hand. Now, if reality were subjective and based on irrational faith, he could trust in his faith to make his hand not stabbed. But we both know that's not going to happen, what's going to happen is that he's going to hurt. Solipsism is all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
Yeah, I'll believe it if I see ISW update their maps. Until then this is just another psyops op.

Elon Musk says he 'killed' new official label for Twitter accounts
> Their first 68k -> PPC emulator (Davidian's) was so good that for some things the PPC Mac was the fastest 68k mac you could buy.

This is not true. A 6100/60 running 68K code was about the speed of my unaccelerated Mac LCII 68030/16. Even when using SpeedDoubler, you only got speeds up to my LCII with a 68030/40Mhz accelerator.

Even the highest end 8100/80 was slower than a high end 68k Quadra.

The only time 68K code ran faster is when it made heavy use of the Mac APIS that were native.

Ask HN: Reliable source of information for PC builders?
I am thinking about building a new PC but frankly I don't trust sites like Anandtech and Tom's Hardware. The last time I built a PC (long ago!) I found that the information was not accurate (allegedly quiet power supplies, hard drives and fans seemed to all have bad bearings)

These days it seems to be worse in that sites like the above make reccomendations based on data sheets w/o any actual reviews.

Are there good sources of data or do I just have to assume I might have to buy a few different motherboards, power supplies, etc. till I find parts that work?
When people post pictures of their studios, I still see plenty of G3/G4/G5 towers in the pictures. Maybe it’s not at the center of the studio, but you definitely see them.
Even if this really turns out to just be a false rumor, though, the rumor appears to be moving the crypto markets, and is its own thing that is really happening. And that is worthwhile of discussion. The rumor itself is a SignificantThing. And bitcoin appears to have breached below $17k on the rumor.

There are essentially two approaches:

- History is sacred and can't be changed. It typically goes with a merge-based workflow. The good thing is that nothing is lost, what you see is what really happened and you won't make a mess with inappropriate push --force. The downside is that it looks messy since you are going to see every typo and you will have some non functional code in your history. People using that workflow usually don't squash since squashing rewrites history.

- History is like documentation and have to be nice and clean. It typically goes with a rebase-based workflow. This is what the article is about. The good thing is that every commit has working code, and git log can effectively replace a more formal change log. The downside is that you lose information and the git log doesn't represent what really happened, furthermore, since push --force is often used, your local branch may not be the branch you think you are on, you may even end up destroying other people commits. People using this workflow usually squash to make their commits nicer.

I prefer the "history is sacred" workflow myself, but both options are valid.
ah yes, the good old "Let's A/B test our capability to influence emotional states using the news feeds."

Affinity Photo 2 Adds Tons of Features, Still Doesn’t Require a Subscription
Went into this hoping it was about real secular churches, as an exmormon - I miss the community of going to church, but as an agnostic (believe in afterlife, but as energy we live on somehow, and consciousness is weird, or we're living in a simulation and get recycled, but I don't believe in a God, unless it's:

- A: unaware of our existence: i.e. we're living inside a bigger organism's brain or something (the whole universe is a brain?) or..
- B: A programmer outside our universe and still not aware of us on a personal level, just running a simulation, it could even be a simulation of a universe, and real conscious life popping up wasn't supposed to happen, but did.

Got off on a tangent about my beliefs, but maybe it's nostalgia it feels like even before church the 80s and 90s was a friendlier time even with people across the aisle politically.

Then I started church and many of the people there were opposite me politically but we got along as 'brothers/sisters in the gospel', I left the church in a time when I was inactive so not missing much, most of my friends from youth have left the church - even the ones I'd never think would leave.

I know secular churches exist, but I always felt humanism and compassion for others really needs to be a religion unto itself, with some self-help and growing opportunities (think TED talks), and community outreach.

TLDR: As exmormon, and even before I was mormon I felt more connected w/ the world and neighbors, or members of the church and I guess there's more loneliness in the world, I really don't have any close friends except my wife/in-laws and they're not that close (well, my wife is lol), and my kids. It'd be nice to have more ways to create connections like you get from church and scouts without it being some piousness competition and shaming.

Atheistic church imho doesn't look that bad to an agnostic ex-mormon, and this person is trying to argue against a church 'losing god', when I'm thinking that's a feature not a bug.
It's a trap - while visibly talking about retreating from Kherson, according to Ukrainian intelligence they've actually boosted troop numbers in Kherson in the last 2 weeks (from ~20k to ~30k) and dug into the city very hard.

They want the Ukrainians fighting to take ground around Kherson and then spend months fighting street by street (as russians have failed to do in Bakhmut) all under pre-sighted Russian artillery sitting pretty on the south side of the Dniepr.

They don't want to blow the dam, or give up Kherson, they want to embroil the ukrainians in a grind like the ukrainians have done to them (and continue to do) in bakhmut, with a prize the ukrainians want (the liberation of Kherson the city and the region).

If you're not sure watch Shoigu's announcement of this - one of the most scripted and least convincing 'military' discussion the russians have publicized. The butchers sending drafted men to their death's as meat with nothing but AKs, no training or medicine, and who slaughtered civilians wholesale throughout ukraine are now talking about how much they care about their men and civilians.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33ZdW2lRq94

It's a deadly joke, but some Western media outlets are too excited for a big headline and will print anything that they think people will click on. Asking the ukrainians matters less than getting the headline first. I've already seen headlines that say "RUSSIA RETREATING FROM KHERSON" which aren't true. Russia says they will retreat from kherson, but aside from stripping every washing machine and kiddy train in the region, they have not retreated.
My favorite "example" of this is looking for pictures of "soldiers" or fighters or warriors using a weapon as a penis for a photo/picture/drawing.

All of linear algebra is based on linear functions. Of course that doesn't mean that you can't study affine functions with it, but it adds a layer of extra complication.

For example, linear functions over finite dimensional vector spaces can be represented with matrices which means that everything you can compute about matrices you can also compute about linear functions.
I agree generally, but the Iranian weapons are super cheap and have been battle tested against US air defences in Saudi Arabia and performed very well, so it makes a lot of sense to use them.

Why is the media reporting like this is actually happening?

It’s like they’re naive children. And theres even have other articles talking about how misinformation, intentional confusion and bluffing has been a huge part of the war.

Anything the Russians proclaim can only sensibly be taken with extreme skepticism. This is most likely an attempt at a trap
Nope, other comments are correct, Reality Labs, aka AR/VR and other hardware
> The money USA and the west has spent on this war is an INCREDIBLY GREAT bargain

To be fair, it's a culmination of decades of NATO military R&D, planning, recon, etc. These weapons are finally being used for what they were created for, stopping a Russian invasion. It's just a shame MANPADS preclude A-10 tankbusting, considering all the Cold War era tanks Russia is using.

Very nice tutorial. But what I'm missing here and for many other similar ones isthe "why" question. Great that it is a functional language with immutability but what can I do with it? Please give me some example of what it does, how I can use it, how within a few minutes I can create something that works and is useful, ... Is it for web programming or a service or a backend or ...

All I know is we now have a guy in control of Twitter who:

- is calling his 100m or so followers to vote for GOP

- is repeating Putin's talking points

- Seems to be quite the vindictive narcissist, who doesn't really care about people or the environment quite frankly (e.g. trying to cancel a high speed rail project

Someone with that kind of power and ideology is not good for democracy - esp now that we have more people in the GOP that are actively trying to limit people's freedom.
Hook-using functions basically are classes, just with utterly bizarre method and property declaration syntax and some strange and unhelpful behaviors.

I mean, they ultimately associate lists of properties and functions (methods, if you like) with a component object instance (yes, object) down in the React internals. Sure, access to them is FIFO rather than a lookup table, but that still looks a whole lot like very-weird classes/objects being reimplemented in a language that already has decent-enough ones.

Now, the trouble was certain optimizations and features were probably going to be hard to impossible to achieve while supporting both functional- and class-based components more-or-less equally, and the easy path forward was to let class components become more powerful and functional components slip to second-class (haha), but instead they put object/class-like features in their functions so they could have functions (but very much stateful/side-effecty, so WTF is the point?) lead the way, for whatever reason.

> Rosetta 2 is great, except it apparently can't run statically-linked (non-PIC) binaries.

Interestingly, it supports statically-linked x86 binaries when used with Linux.

"Rosetta can run statically linked x86_64 binaries without additional configuration. Binaries that are dynamically linked and that depend on shared libraries require the installation of the shared libraries, or library hierarchies, in the Linux guest in paths that are accessible to both the user and to Rosetta."

This works: Imagine your purpose as the centre of a sphere bounded by a perimeter representing the limits of the experiences which you want in your life. Spend as long as is necessary testing the bounds of the sphere in every direction.
Try loads of things, especially bonkers ones which might seem counter to your nature. Find where those boundaries lie, and then identify your purpose in the middle of it all.
This was the thinking behind the Leopard 1. It had really thin armor compared to peers because it didn't think it mattered. Later upgrades added spaced armor etc to help with ATGMs, and the Leo 2 had Chobbham so it was kind of a rejection of that theory.

Missiles on tanks have been a thing for decades and really don't add much value. Main gun rounds are much cheaper, and you'll always need something that can blow up fortifications. And crew size can't really get much lower than 3 (four is really optimal) because of pulling guard duty, maintenance etc. Replacing a tread with two guys leaves no one to pull security watch.
And that PC's functionality is dependent upon code contributed by dozens of large technology companies. Even GCC and Clang work well because Intel and AMD contribute to them.

Heck, Firefox exists because Google keeps funding them.

It isn't 2002 anymore where Linux was some radical open source project with basement hackers making it all work.
It means that in this case, the static compiler emitted code that could be further optimised, that's all. It doesn't mean that that's always the case, or that static compilers can't produce optimal code, or that either technique is "better" than the other.

An easy example is code compiled for 386 running on a 586. The A->A compiler can use CPU features that weren't available to the 386. As with PGO you have branch prediction information that's not available to the static compiler. You can statically compile the dynamically linked dependencies, allowing inlining that wasn't previously available.

On the other hand you have to do all of that. That takes warmup time just like a JIT.

I think the road to enlightenment is letting go of phrasing like "is superior". There are lots of upsides and downsides to pretty much every technique.

> It's very clear there hasn't been a big GOP win

I guess it depends on how you define "big". A supermajority in the Senate was never in the cards. A majority, however slim, would still be (per my own definition) a big win for the GOP.

> They'd need unity on fucking Ukraine over; it seems unlikely all ~51 would be on board here given the popularity of the Ukranians in the war in the US.

I think this is partially because Americans haven't felt the brunt of increased energy prices caused by the war to the degree that Europeans and others have.

If/when that impact hits, the fact that half the country listens to media personalities that are openly supportive of the Russian side and are happy to suggest that appeasing Russia would bring down energy prices, suggests to me that public opinion could change pretty quickly.

And I'll give the GOP credit for one thing: they have listened to what their base voters actually wanted (regardless of the morality of it) and they changed their tune.

I'd love to be wrong, but doubt many people are willing to put the Ukrainians rights to peoplehood over the price of gas at the pump.
A push along Svatove-Luhansk is equally likely.
For me my M1 was fast enough that the first load didn't seem that different - and more importantly subsequent loads were lighting fast! It's astonishing how good Rosetta 2 is - utterly transparent and faster than my Intel Mac thanks to the M1.
I'm not sure why you think the UAF can't do that. They've taken other territory and have shown a capacity for offense.

A brief look at the map will show that holding Kherson is basically impossible and a huge risk for Russia. It has a single bridge across the Dneiper and it's on the outskirts of the city. That's the only supply/retreat line forces defending the city have.

There's no good options. Defend the city then Ukraine attacks the supply line. Defend the supply line then Ukraine attacks the city. Try to do both and risk losing everything.
The former guy sitting in Mar-a-lago isn't a big fan of Ukraine, so if the republicans get enough seats in the house, support could turn to negotiation pretty quickly.

> Wouldn't this be an issue with any database object managed via migrations?

Like I mentioned, check out flyway repeatable migrations.
Careful.

The Russian Government has made an announcement they are evacuating.

The Ukrainian military have stated they're not seeing it actually happen on the ground.

They have been saying for some days they suspect it's a trap, and Kherson has not really been evacuated.

This announcement could well be just more encouragement to dive in, from the Russians.
There are much better methodologies for speeding up worker productivity than A/B testing. A/B testing is designed to extract information from people you can’t do more complicated tests such as eye tracking or motion studies with.

The major issue with A/B testing in the workplace is it causes confusion and slows people down when you change things. Which makes these tests really expensive even if they are seemingly easy to preform. So, I would call it useful but flawed.
In my experience swarm is even more difficult to get running if you need something uncommon.
