I actually didn't bring a tent, as I was on my way to a hut.

> The fact you were there for 3 days, I assume you either never told anyone where you were - and they weren't aware you were stranded, and you didn't have any method for contacting emergency services.

I checked into a ranger station. It was Easter Weekend, so no one was there.

It rained and snowed the entire time. I was without shelter, and the island I was on was quickly disappearing as the water level of the river kept rising. I attempted to make a shelter out of sticks and grass, only to find the ground waterlogged, so I instead laid on top of it. I woke up in the middle of the night completely surrounded by water. I was so cold, I prayed for death. At the end of the last night, I was clutching onto a tree trunk on the only patch of ground sticking above the water, as waves licked my feet, waiting to be washed away into the river, as I watched logs like the ones next to me float into, and quickly escape the beam of my head torch.

Very nice project and presentation deck - well done !

That being said, with the data you have available here, you can’t conclude anything at all - you would need several years of data to rule out seasonalities, and also take into account some external factors influencing it.

Ps. Are you sure you’re not using something like rolling average and you just don’t have the data points (if it’s centered around current date) ?
You can still get a lot done with a 5,7,10,14,etc nm node.
I'm kinda surprised by the excitement it gets. I'm still looking for a compelling explanation, why I (or anyone else) should even bother?

I am a git hater myself. I mean, git just sucks. It always did, and it always was much worse than Mercurial. When they could have be seen as competition, I was forcing Mercurial as much, as I could, but then GitHub became a thing, and after a very short struggle it became just hopeless. There still are folks who use fossil or something, but ultimately git became THE SCM. So, yeah, I hate you, GitHub, I hate you, Linus, but I fully admit that you've won. So… now I can actually admit it isn't such a big deal.

Sure, it would be somewhat better if git never existed at all and we'd all just use a better SCM from the very beginning. But given it's just not the case, what it the problem, really? It isn't hard to learn git. I do know some people who are struggling with anything outside of simple pull-branch-add-commit-push workflow (usually performed via buttons in their IDE), but, honestly, I think they will be struggling with any other SCM just as much — it's just the difference between caring to build a mental model of the tool you use, and simply memorizing a number of popular commands. The tool isn't at fault here. So, really, git is kinda bad, but not that bad.

Monorepos? I mean, there were tools to work with them before, but does anyone outside of Google/FB actually work with repos that git cannot handle? Is it really a good idea to have such repos? I mean, it's nice that some tool can work with them, but is it actually important?

I mean, there is some new "better" SCM (often somewhat git-compatible) almost every year. But I've never actually seen anything that would make me push for that "better" SCM anywhere. Even for my personal projects. Git isn't "just git" anymore, there are countless tools that integrate with it, we all know it by heart and have sets of "best practices", how-to's, personal workflows, helper-scripts, etc. There is a huge downside to start using anything besides git, so what is the upside that would compensate for it? I never see one.
It's difficult to find out information about the status of the oxidation project with Mercurial. I just noticed the 6.3 release earlier today and looked more into the rust support. I didn't get the feeling that most of Mercurial has been rewritten in Rust yet. The `hg help rust` information only lists a handful of features as gaining improvements from Rust, albeit they are likely core/essential components, as well as mentioning some/all of the work is experimental. The documentation here seems very much directed towards developers still.
> I think you may need to enforce it once or twice to have teeth but it’s not unheard of.

That's assuming the courts agree. I haven't read the linker code, but it's very possible that whatever code the linker includes would not be found "creative" enough to be copyrightable. In contrast, libgcc, which gcc links into generated binaries, contains non-trivial routines[0].

This is a ridiculous argument.

One can enjoy a single aspect of something without that implying total agreement.

I hate advertisement in nearly every aspect, I hate 'SV culture' in nearly every aspect -- but I can acknowledge that the collision of those two themes created a community that I enjoy, and has facilitated conversation that is generally on a more interesting level than the majority of communities out there on the internet that I could be spending time at otherwise.

>You support something that you think is a blight because you don’t think this is a blight.

I don't/can't/won't fall for the idea that 'HN=advertisement'; it's simply not true. HN has become something that is greater than the sum of its' parts, to ignore the other qualities that drive people to participate here would be disingenuous.
Gotcha! It was impressive how fancy gear mountain biking is popular in all the big cities along the Andes. They "road bike" on MTBs a lot. In Colombia they are nuts for cycling and have some seriously pricey rides. Definitely the sealant is in all the big cities. Some of my tune-ups were in small towns.

Agreed both that celebs need specifically tuned/managed instance(s), and that that knowledge will likely diffuse poorly.

My understanding is that Mastodon.cloud's admin was a native German speaker. The instance was subsequently purchased by a Japanese firm. (I left during this process due both to dissatisfaction with the WW incident and lack of clarity on the transfer.)

WW had nothing to do with CounterSocial AFAIU. As the link I'd provided above shows, he'd been on mastodon.cloud at the time: <https://mastodon.cloud/@wilw/100635779449174251>

That said, I'm frankly not familiar w/ CounterSocial, though it appears to be a Mastodon fork:

Also, I think you can actually generalize "any company" to "any organized human endeavor". People like to point out the flaws in governments, religious orders, the local PTA. Same thing. Get a group of humans together and watch them malfunction.
How you can so nonchalantly say it's extremely entertaining and the best thing ever while considering it a threat to half of the world? One thing should completely negate the other right?
It's not clear to me what it is. SAAS DuckDB? They want to fork DuckDB into a commercial offering? Stop DuckDB entirely?
If you're comparing it to reddit or imgur I'd argue you probably don't use social media enough for the differences to matter tbh. It's optimized for a different kind of content and browsing experience after all. It's much more similar to youtube but with shorter video lengths and a much more effective recommendation algorithm.

What actually happens to the biometric data after your trip is over? I can understand keeping it for a length of time. But one scenario where this could be a problem is if you did not agree to share this biometric data with another country, but that country requests it from the UK who happily complies.

Another scenario is the one where the data is leaked because of a security issue and it enables you to be tracked with facial recognition software because your identity was tied to it. Although it's still possible to track someone without an identity and it's possible to get an identity without needing leaked government data, I still would consider this data very sensitive.
I think looking at a single metric is a mistake, though. Certainly, there was a lot more poverty, especially in areas where we've made giant strides, like elderly poverty. And we've made other huge strides in some areas of health, like reduction in smoking rates in the US.

But, if I look at my parents, who were raised in "average" middle-class families in the US, there are many ways today's families' "standard of living" is worse, despite the fact that they can buy a lot more shit. 2 simple examples:

1. There is a ton more obesity today, and it has a disastrous effect on standard of living.

2. There is a ton more anxiety about maintaining a standard of living. My grandfather worked for "Ma Bell" for 47 years and raised 4 kids on that single salary. They ate dinner together as a family every night. Today your "average" middle-class family has both parents working and still with a constant undercurrent of economic anxiety.

Look, I'm in no way arguing the 50s were some idyllic "Leave it to Beaver" utopia, but I am arguing that once you get to a "comfortable" middle class existence that focusing on "ability to buy more stuff" as the primary driver of "standard of living" is a mistake.
“PHP-like but incompatible” isn’t in itself a useful feature — it is the thing which unlocks a bunch of useful features (a sensible standard library, sensible list/dict datatypes, typed collections, XHP, async functions, generics)
React Native, named after their open source project that is incredibly successful, widely used, completely reshaped the front end dev world, etc... Not sure if an offshoot of a world class project not gaining traction is a mark against them.
afaict this would be a serious offence in germany and also been taken very seriously. after all a license plate is essential to enforce law wrt any crime involving a car. so, i'm surprised to read several comments here about how this is common in the states.
My primary concern is the curation. E-book platforms and their algorithms are just showing different things. Libraries and book stores had limitations in this way too, but there was more variety in inventory.
> 5kt speed

I usually try to be constructive regarding crazy ideas, but I have spent some time on the ocean and 5kts is a giant red flag for me. I would assume that it could maybe be workable if it stayed hundreds of km away from land/shallows unless accompanied by a flotilla of large tug boats.

Also: "Pangeos will be perpetually itinerant around our planet Earth."

Not sure how they could do that. It is larger than Panamax and Suezmax. The only other choice is going around the southern Capes and that is not something I can imagine doing in a ship limited to anything close to 5kts. The average wind speeds there are around 30kts.

Most people aren't literally taking out a 100k loan.

It's a very complex problem. Not everyone wants to code, for many professions you really need to get into a top school. That top school might cost a bit of money.

Recently I've found it's best to worry about oneself to be frank.

Know you don't want to take out 100k for a top school, but don't judge those who do.

Assuming that results in an additional 5 to 10k in income per year after graduation, it easily pays for itself.

For you, since you already have an established career it makes little sense to spend that much

What are you basing this on? Where do you think the threat of being an outlaw comes from? When justice is customary, one has none away from one’s peers.

There is an early modern period of free movement, when Hamilton emigrated and helped found a nation. But to deny the specialness of that era undermines it.

I'm less bothered by a bookstore ceasing to carry a title than I am by them deactivating modifying books after purchase.

Every purchased book should be an unmodifiable snapshot, and any good faith updates should only replace a purchase of desired by the owner.

I'm a little confused, is it a client compatible with Git? So I can use this for a git repo?

Or is it a new DVCS, with its own repo type, for which I can use the git client for?
That was a reference to your line, "It seems that not only has 'community of leftist[s]' given up on free speech (as is the vogue)..."

You seem to place quite a bit of value in free speech, yet are bothered when the creators of this project use theirs to set boundaries, going so far as to call it "hostile." It's unfortunate that you find it hostile - I consider the hateful conduct that they're banning much more hostile and support their methods of collaboration to that end.

The title is unfairly conflating the idea with one organization. Plenty of people quietly donate some fraction of income to effective charities (effective altruism), without engaging with the Effective Altruism institution.

I'm sort of amazed that git and mercurial haven't built something like that yet. Makes me a little sad that Facebook created a new scm instead of expanding mercurial to include features like this.
NFTs notwithstanding, people paying big money for art aren't usually just "buying" .JPG files. There's often some physical component, sometimes quite large, heavy and difficult to reproduce. Oil paintings, castings, mixed-media pieces larger than a car, etc.

These sorts of things are less likely to be subject to someone typing a command into an AI generator program. AI stuff will have impacts on grunt work, and will be used to come up with crazy ideas when artists are stuck, and there will be some people who will make a lot of money with a line of text and some software, but overall, the art world values uniqueness, the human touch or at least the human conceit that goes into "computer art" or "machine art".

Art is only worth what people (real live humans) will pay for it. The NFT market has finally started to crater as people have realized there's nothing there there.
> NASA TV link in post.

If you’ve got a streaming device like the Apple TV or whatever, the NASA TV app is well worth installing. Right now the “public” and “media” feeds are showing the same video feed, but usually they are not. And there is always the live ISS video feed and tracking if you are temporarily bored with a leaky rocket.

I once visited the Joshua Tree National Park where I went off trail to visit the Heart Rock. It was a very short distance off trail so I wasn't very careful. Having found the rock easily (just a short distance off trail, maybe five minutes of walking) I relaxed and took a break near the rock. And by it was time to go back I had forgotten how I walked from the trail. It took me at least fifteen minutes to find the trail again.

Mistakes happen.
There's some amount of luck and marginal effects that need to be discounted, otherwise you couldn't say "nothing positive" about a diagnostic that always says "you are dying", and you couldn't say "nothing positive" about a strategy that has you pick the opposite route and then repeat as many times as you want. And I think such a conclusion would be very dumb.

I'm not making a statement on whether the apple watch in particular is close enough to that line.
You were concern trolling to try to shit on the best plan we have for a planet that remains habitable by vaguely gesturing about how hard it is with no context.

Now you're playing the victim and trying to imply that's never what you meant.
