While there are certainly problematic aspects of dark web markets, society do get some benefits. No physical contact between sellers and buyers, which reduces violence. Reviews of sellers and products makes it significantly easier to purchase safer drugs (for some drugs, adulterants and/or unpredictable potency are a bigger risk than the drug itself). This translates to fewer visits to the ER or morgue.

Edit: My personal opinion is that we should rid ourselves of the demand for dark web markets by regulating drugs. The regulations should focus on harm reduction, both for the users and society as a whole.

The thought that there is no ultimate perfect way to do things is liberating, if anything. It means that we can pick something we deem good enough and roll with it, or we can try and find an infinity of other good enough ways with acceptable tradeoffs, instead of searching for that end all, be all holy grail. Or we can stop trying at some point, because of diminishing returns. It's all okay.

The important thing is not to worry that what we have is merely good, because the perfect might be waiting around the corner. It's not.
I think you are misinterpreting the term "diff". Near the beginning of the article they describe it "At Meta we call an individual set of changes made to the codebase a “diff.” So diff == PR.
> I think people who facilitate the sale of community destroying hard drugs deserve punishment

I'd argue Instagram has done more damage to human relationships and communities than MDMA, despite the former being around for much longer.

Really, when we look at the forces "destroying our communities", it's not so much the drugs as the the reasons people take them - alienation caused by post-modern industrial capitalism, face-to-face interaction replaced by screen time, a society that values "success" over happiness, health and connection... the drugs are a symptom.

Bash / Shell is one of the last things I would trust a typical AI considering how much bad shell code/examples exist out there. (it always surprise me how many unquoted variables exist in most shell scripts; quoting fixes many problems, doesn't hurt and still developers are often to lazy to do it)

The example in the project readme is imo already a bad example.

$ ai ask "Check process running on port"

Answer

Command is `lsof -i tcp:8000`

Apart from the facts that

- I would say the chances that lsof is installed are significant smaller than ss or netstat

- is lsof notably slower than ss

it is also inferior for the requested task because

- it returns any process connecting to this port not only the listening one. Which process is running on port 443 on my desktop? None. How many processes does 'lsof -i tcp:443` return? 20.

- it does not work if the listening process is from another user (if lsof is not run by root). In this case lsof -i returns nothing while ss -nltp returns the information that the port is listened and only cannot tell by which process because of missing permissions.

My answer to "which process uses port x"

ss -nltp sport = x
He was never charged or convicted of murder, and 2 of the agents on his case were corrupt and dishonest. This is enough to at the very least sow reasonable doubt.

I'm all for him being imprisoned if guilty of attempted murder, but he absolutely should not still be in prison for the charges that he was found guilty of.

The why should be clear from the domain that you're working within. A line of comment should count as something like 10 lines of code, if you're reading a comment then you're treading into real complexity. If you're in a code base where that isn't true, then is the comment really necessary?

Remember to consider all aspects related to liability, terms of service, and so on, as it relates to security. Does your app connect to the Internet, network, or make use of user logins or similar information? If it does, you cannot just let customers keep using an old version forever and not get security updates. Keeping old versions secure will be costly for you, so you always want people on the current version.

"Standalone" in 2020s is not the same as the 90s. Subscriptions, while people may not like them, are a good solution for a host of less obvious problems.

How do you make a decision now so that you're not stuck in 5 years' time? Go with subscriptions and continuous updates and monitor whether customers really care. If your target market is business users then don't take the HN view on whether subscriptions are bad.

> the value of money hasn't decreased

This isn't true in the slightest, not sure why you think that.

And producers don't charge what it costs them, they charge what people will pay. And if you flood consumers with capital that they can use for specific types of purchases, then you reduce their price sensitivity and prices increase.

Why do you think college tuition has soared? All people on average are greedy, it's called being a rational self actor. But not everyone gets to charge insanely inflated prices year on year...they could if they would.

I actually quite like this implementation of smoothness except for two things.

The max speed is way too low. None of the scrolling momentum is kept and it takes forever to get anywhere on the page.

Please, lets stop using the scroll bar as a loading bar. When I scroll down, I want to go down the page. Just slowly bring up page by page that get placed somewhere randomly on the screen space.
Good point. And that also probably creates fear/resentment among the remaining employees.

I guess Elon is a weird combination of being very good at the "visionary" aspects of leadership (inspiring people with "Occupy Mars") and being very bad at the "managing" aspects (creating psychological safety & high morale for employees).

This leadership style doesn't work unless your employees believe in your vision.
basically: humans can totally interact in 10 x O(50) communities despite being utterly unable to interact in 1 x O(500) community. That's really the same lesson as scrum teams too, just at a different scale.

human empathy and working set is totally limited by team size and cache level, you need to optimize for facing the same problems/interests as the person next to you.

Families/localities/regions are the cache layers of empathy. And I'm using "family" broadly.

"Contextual communities" I guess.

Warning - potentially bad take incoming: To me this is actually an argument in favour of the legalization of "hard drugs" more than it is an argument against alcohol.

_This_ is the real existential threat to Twitter. From the outside, before Musk bought it Twitter already looked like a stagnant company making short-term decisions to boost kpi's without a real mission.

I'm just not sure Elon is the man to fix a business that isn't really going anywhere. It was pedestrian, maybe it was hard to see a vision in that space, and the company culture became one of "maintain".

Even if he sells a vision of the "Everything App" like WeChat, is he going to find enough people at Twitter and enough new recruits to buy into that? Wouldn't you rather go put man on Mars or fight climate change?

If he _does_ manage to turn Twitter into the Western WeChat, it will be one of the most remarkable events in tech history. That said, I'm not even sure we want him working on a social network rather than loftier goals, so perhaps it would be better for humanity if he fails fast here.

Yeah, asking for number is too much but I think they need to it prevent spam/misuse because they offer you free credits to try out the model.
Not compared to manufacturers with decades of experience no. But making cars is hard. Starting Tesla from a clean sheet is impressive.

Think about all the Chinese manufacturers, that for years were churning out the butts of jokes. How many of those would have survived in an actual competitive market?

Even Rust has panic for things like out-of-bounds access. In fact, Rust's panic / Result is actually very similar technically to Java's checked / unchecked exceptions. I'd argue that this is more a difference in usage and culture, with likely influence from the fact that Java makes it easy to catch unchecked exceptions, so many prefer unchecked exceptions to avoid being forced to think about what to do in case of an error (which, of course, means that probably the wrong thing happens then).

Also, Rust culture (IMHO) tends to be more strict about technical errors, probably because it is applied to more low-level problem areas. If high-level business logic is cluttered with technical error handling in every other line, it becomes near impossible to read and maintain, so other patterns are applied (e.g. atomic transactions that are undone when something fails).

Was it? There are lifeforms with longer lifespans so is it not possible that there is some "natural" mutation that will let you live longer? Of course this happening is incredibly unlikely that it might as well be impossible but I saying it that it is literally impossible will need something to back that up.
For what it’s worth, your post is wildly inaccurate. To me it reads like the understanding of someone who consumes a lot far-right stuff and cannot discern between online talk show narrative and factual real world events. You might consider enriching your media diet.
> Who’s gonna say yes to “extreme hardcore” without “significant pay raise”?

I can see one group of people: those who genuinely care about Twitter and have felt frustrated under previous management. But you have to wonder why they didn't already leave.
A language antipattern maybe, a programming antipattern, no. Python isn’t ML – it got pattern matching only very recently. Without it, and in a language where type tests are often a bad smell, exceptions are perfectly reasonable.

No need to be confused. Elon is a giant troll on Twitter, with a dash of actual Tesla or SpaceX news every now and then.
With that in mind, it’s probably not a coincidence that the only number one hit to use a key change during the 2010s is also one of the most iconic: Travis Scott’s “SICKO MODE.”

That can't be true, surely? Only one number one song with a key change in a whole decade? (I assume we're talking US charts?)

Crazy by Gnarls Barkely has some nice key changes but it only got to number 2 apparently.
In general it’s not, although for a number of languages (e.g. java, ruby, go) it kinda is.

Here the dictionary is supposed to hold Item values, not Optional[Item], so None would be the signal of a missing item. Think

You are assuming there is technical competency there to actually make something even remotely functional. Most employees in big tech companies get brought on to essentially do some code modification to existing codebases, which is a task that is much, much simpler than building out service code and infrastructure from the get go.

> at the end of the day they are a for-profit company and their main objective would be to maximize profit.

The Tesla master plan was from the beginning to reinvest these profits into manufacturing a cheaper car. They did this with the Model 3, but now it kind of looks like they've given up.
Pre-mastered MDs are pressed and the format is physically similar to CDs. I would be interesting to put this disc under an optical microscope, I assume it would look similar to a regular pre-mastered disc but perhaps it's actually a recordable MD (which look very different) or some kind of R&D experiment.

I took a bunch of optical images of MDs and other formats here for reference:

This can be done non-destructively with an inexpensive epi-illuminated microscope.
> confirmation from more than this source

how would you rank the possibility that Wikipedia is updated from that same source? It's an open article. If a piece of news, say, "goes viral", how do you know this does not directly affect sources you would have used for comparison - /especially/ a wiki?

I ran certificates for a well known service with lots of users (and not many employees), and it was all manual until well after we were aquired. If you don't have very many different certificates, it's not that hard to do it manually, and it doesn't look like they have that many [1]. Digicert is pretty easy to work with on a manual basis.

Of course, even if it was automated, you still have to pay the bills, and if payroll quit as has been suggested in the thread, I'd be suprised if accounts payable is sticking around

One thing that made me shy away from Seafile was the limitations of its Android client. IIRC it could only upload photos, not sync folders. So couldn't use it for notes, voice recordings, downloads, books...

I considered Syncthing as well, but I wanted both the arbitrary file sync and the web-based features. Figured I'd rather deal with Nextcloud's poor performance than cobble together a crappy Nextcloud clone via three separate apps.

I'm definitely keeping an eye out for OCIS though.
> ultimately it's an implementation detail

Impressive engineering is always about details.

If you want to argue that there is really nothing superior about Tesla's engineering that's fine, but you can't shove implementation details under the rug when it suits you. For there to be nothing superior in their engineering there must also be no implementation detail that is superior.
At the very least, the 2 agents involved in his case being found to be corrupt and having forged evidence, should cast additional doubt on the murder for hire.

I'm not saying he didn't do it, but had that been known at the time, I think it would have been less decided that his sentencing should take the alleged murders for hire into account.

He should be tried for that separately at this point

These arguments seem logical, but are they backed up by anything other than gut feeling? If anything, harmful adulterants in drugs have only increased since dark net markets became a thing. There are lots of reasons for that, but it’s hard to argue DNMs have been a net positive given the statistics on drug abuse over the past decade.
We're already limited by lightspeed propagation, so it's hard to see how this could be the case.

"internal family systems" gives a useful framework for this ability of the brain to take on multiple more or less independent perspectives, almost personalities. our brain can hide different memories in them and getting free access and interaction and integration of them is seen as part of personal development by the IFS approach to the phenomenon. They leverage it without psychedelics, btw.
It might be worth trying the Insync client instead of the official OneDrive one as I've found that quite slow to sync large libraries. It's far more customisable and runs on Linux too.

If a lot of your employees leave, its probably wise to revoke access to prevent anyone from potentially sabotaging stuff.
Whats validating about that?

I don't think sentencing should be using information that wasn’t part of the charges or the conviction. I’ve seen prosecutors chose to be extremely strict about that, judges chose to be extremely about that, jurors say “we couldn't convict because we had to follow the prosecutor’s instructions”, and yet here the jury was swayed by actions unrelated to the charges in order to convict, and the judge applied sentencing standards based on those same actions, and the government completely dropped the other case that would have been based on those actions

If they want to add time, they could totally charge him while he was already in prison! Nobody is worried about “taxpayer resources” the government got way more money out of the seizures than nearly any of their criminal cases, in which they do redundant tacked on convictions all the time!

this is such an aberration
