Maybe Christianity is not a cult, but the cult. When I hear people call a group a cult, what they typically mean is that the group is a pale imitation of Christianity.

Many Christians would likely take issue with this description because they don't want to be on the wrong side of the dirty word cult.

But I personally don't think it's much of a problem if the person you worship is Jesus of Nazareth.
Are there any generally regarded as safe popular homo libraries out there? I want to read the way they're implemented.
I've seen it happen twice in my career. One of the times it was a huge success, the other was a disaster.

The first one was probably a success because there was just one developer before, so there wasn't really any culture and he quickly got absorbed in the group that joined the project.

The second case wasn't that successful and the group that joined refused to adjust to the existing culture when it came to processes and guidelines, and instead tried to run their own race because that worked at the previous place they came from. They were all fired after a couple of weeks
Maybe I'm just old, but first thing I would look for in a strongly typed language is int vs float, but all I see here is num. Is a single numeric type expected for modern languages?
> Vitalik doesn't seem to be very smart.

Now there's an opinion which betrays an overwhelming anti-crypto bias.
From a spec based standpoint you maybe right but I'm clearly not talking about that. Else it wouldn't be possible that Asahi linux is running non-ES OpenGL based application when there is ONLY an openGL ES driver.
This looks like the only possibly viable simulator, at least what's been linked in the comments
That seems more a US thing though because of how things are laid out? I picked my multiple places of living (EU) to have everything walking distance and I managed that for the past 30 years with wfh, city or not. We don't touch the car (or anything else) for weeks on end.
So, a "what your mother didn't tell you about C standardization!". I.e. that some popular compilers flaunted the standard, as wider and supported integers should surely have been "[u]intmax_t".

And now code written to conform with the intent and wording of C99 will need to change?
All compiler flags are non-standard because the C standard does not concern itself with them at all.

That said, there are effectively two standard compiler interfaces: MSVC and GCC and everyone else emulates one or both of these.

Similarily, symbol visibility is not something that the C standard cares about because it doesn't even care about libraries in the first place. Again, for all platforms that have symbol visibility (e.g. PE and ELF based ones, although the details differ) there is a defacto standard for the compiler flags and attributes to control the visilibity: the MSVC and GCC extensions.
I definitely get that - I don’t have anyone close to me right now that escaped (sadly not all of those escapes were permanent), but I’ve been able to joke around with fellow survivors in the past. It felt really freeing to be able to talk openly enough such that we could crack a joke about it. :)

I’m glad you and your wife were able to get out, too. :)

The issue is, traditional exchanges are able to avoid taking custody of funds by a whole system of laws and contracts which provide for how the actual transfer of one thing for another takes place, completely separate from the exchange (typically, through the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation). The whole process of making a trade for traditional securities takes a total of 2-3 DAYS.

Crypto exchanges, on the other hand, mostly operate as broker-dealers, who happen to be engaging in off-exchange transactions (which are mostly illegal, or heavily regulated at least, in traditional assets). Furthermore, some, such as FTX, have taken it upon themselves to act as banks on top of this all. It's true that you can borrow money from a traditional broker-dealer, however, behind the scenes, regulations T, U, and X govern the process by which the BD pledges securities held in your account as collateral (which you allow them to do when you sign a margin agreement), in exchange for money from the bank, who in turn is governed by a heck of a lot of regulations and in turn is backed by the Federal Reserve and FDIC.

Basically, they're trying to be the entire financial system spun up in a few lines of html, javascript, and whatever flavor of the day scripting language they happen to be using is. Big surprise -- it's not working very well.

At the end of the day, the ones doing a better job are the ones that at least are leaving the banking side of things out of it, and charging a higher spread on executed trades, so that they can avoid needing to monetize simply holding your assets. This isn't a surprise -- if someone's charging you less than 1% on your trades, you should be VERY supicious.
Agreed. Apartments are largely viewed as temporary and not for families - thus they’re built cheaply and not big enough (to meet American family expectations). The current 5-over-1 trend is awful in this regard. Yeah, it’s inexpensive to build, but light wood framing done to a tight budget leads to noisy, smelly, awful places to own or live long-term.
I think this is why I and so many people have enjoyed Andor. He's not some hotshot or hero. He's just some guy who'd rather live his life in peace, but the Empire keeps standing on his neck. In comparison, Obi-Wan is still a master Jedi knight even in hiding. He can't not be that. It was still better than most of the others where the characters are heroic in stature and skills if not always in behavior.
Yes, I'm aware, and I'm not expecting much, but I'm really curious. I'll probably graft a couple varieties this coming spring, just to be sure I get something viable, plus it's fun to have a salad tree.

Building up complexity is not so bad if you have the mindset that lets you have a fresh start, learning from all your mistakes and accomplishments.

That's why I started http://civboot.org. I want to take the best parts (those that best contribute to being able to understand the whole) of the modern technology stack and reducing them to a 100-1000 lines of easy to read code that build upon each other. Then I want to do the same things with hardware and mechanical engineering. We'll see what I can do with my life!

I regret wasting money in crypto. Prob lost tens of thousands. All of that stress and there's literally no use-case and there never was besides some fringe stuff. And I knew it the whole time, but listened to the twitter crowd.

As liquidity tightens, it's just simply that there's not enough in the cryptoverse and all the centralized entities like Tether etc are gonna implode.
It's not making accounting public. It's making accounting public in a way that you can't dupe the public. There's a question if that's possible, but you're arguing against a straw man here. I'm skeptical that they'll come up with something that convinces everyone that their new version of public accounting can be trusted, but maybe there's something novel they can come up with that will convince the skeptics.
Music/sound definitely has a strong potential to either focus/align my brain, or scramble it. The image that comes to mind is when you see ferromagnetic dust on a flat surface and then activate a magnetic field, watching all the little pieces align.

Brown noise is really surprisingly good at this. Progressive house at certain BPM’s with limited vocals helps too. On the flip side, certain music, rhythms, etc can be as distracting to me as a mosquito biting at my arm.

Eras? The “tough on crime” happened when Clinton was in office - whose wife supported him and ran for President in 2016, Trump talking about crime before he was into politics who was the President, and when Biden who is the President was in Congress (ie this is not a Democratic or Republican thing). The same politicians who are in charge now were in charge then.

Today minorities are statistically being given harsher sentences for the same drug crimes than non minorities.

Maybe this will be unpopular, but Hell is not that bad of a place. In my opinion, Hell is exactly what many people on earth are asking for.

Many people I know who dislike religion say that if there is a god, they wish he would leave them alone. They want to live in a world where god does not exist.

This is what Hell is. Hell is simply a place where god is not, completely separate from god and his influence.

The reason Christianity describes Hell as a place of suffering is because god is the sole source of good in the universe. So Hell, a place without god, is a place without any good.
“I understood during Covid, people staying home, some still do for this reason, but most do not. So where are they? Any store I go to there are empty sections of products. Business, including my own have almost doubled wages and still can’t find semi qualified workers. In socal, local small cafe/bakery has a sign for counter help, swiping credit cards, and putting croissants in a bag, starting pay $23 per hour $47,000 per year, with medical insurance as well. Seems a bit out of hand. Certainly contributing to inflation, and by the shops own admission, they state they increased their prices for it. It seems a slight recession is necessary to get unemployment numbers a bit up to balance this out?” [0]

Isn't that odd, that people are gunshy to acknowledge religion as traumatic?

There is one comment on the board calling out the article's negatively towards magical thinking as bigotry. To folks that are recovering from religious trauma, it's straight up lived experience.

I've never smoked but I used to date someone who did.

Part of what makes it so addictive is that it's a social activity. With smoking having been marginalized to zones ever further away from buildings - for example, not even on hospital grounds any more, never mind the buildings - the smoker areas tend to be little social hubs. Quit, and you lose that cameraderie. You can get over the nicotine dependency in less than one (unpleasant) week but what is harder to quit is the ritual.

If you don't count the smartphone interaction itself as cameraderie, then the problem with these things is actually the opposite! Instead of marginalized people engaging in real social interaction, you now have social interaction banished e.g. even from restaurant tables as everyone is busy with their little addicto-gadget.
For newly developed software, most of it these days is SaaS. I think this is not stressed enough as the major architectural chokepoint.

For decade-old accumulating code, IMO, AI may offer solutions. Many will sneer that AI is an even worse epitome of the opaqueness that is our problem in the first place. Agreed! maybe we can make it less so?

The real incoming disaster, I believe, is that we are pushing tens of billions into developing and marketing new immature computing paradigms like AR/VR/IVA that will put our "information machines" exponentially more behind an impenetrable wall.

But do Hackers truly believe most people should be code-literate? The irony is that, for example, a lot of them would not even consider the idea of cooking their own food (let alone grow it).
I wonder if the key mapping was copied from the original Mac program.

It does seem odd to require ctrl/shift to make the changes since it necessitates taking your hand off the mouse.
> Easy as an arm chair theory, impossible in practice without a complete rewrite of git from scratch.

Our company uses ledger.cli on top of git as a bookkeeping ledger [https://www.ledger-cli.org]. Works brilliantly, so much easier to use the text wrangling tools we know and love instead of some brain dead GUI of an accounting program.
I agree with that, yes. Of course - I’m glad that society now speaks about these things openly (rather than pretending mental health issues were not real problems). But it does come with the downside you highlighted.
I know what you are saying but I'm not conflating these separate issues.

The argument was made that UK cannot control its borders from non-EU immigrants because Italy at the time was giving them enough papars so they could travel legally to the UK.

To be honest I cannot recall for sure if they were getting instant italian citizenship or just some form of residency. However in the end they could even get british citizenship because they would live in the UK long enough(i believe it's 5 years) using the EU papers. There was benefits fraud as well.

Unfortunately I cannot find the articles anymore. It's almost like a conspiracy that everything regarding immigration before Brexit is no longer search-able(I know it's just Google's algo discarding old news).
Immigration was the issue number 1 for the british people before Brexit. I beleive it's not over yet as european politicians are still ignoring people's concerns on immigration.
Ask HN: Do regular users like the “neobrutalism” design or just the devs?
Ask HN: Why does Google disable the minus (-) operator on Google Maps?
So this is a question that gets plenty of search results, but Google is intentionally disabling the feature. The classic case is when a user wants to search for local coffee shops that are NOT Starbucks or Dunkin. My conspiracy theory is that Starbucks and Dunkin pay Google lots of money for this. What's the real reason?

Because employers do not really care about the environment. They’re pretending to because they think supporting the cause positively impacts their revenue. When they have a choice to make an impact, like now, they pass.

People don't want to do complex bidding schemes. Even Vickery auctions confuse people - look at how eBay has to call their Vickery auction "automatic bidding" to alleviate that confusion.

A threshold effect could certainly exist, that would be one issue with that scheme.

Its a problem as old a time. Evolutionary we have been built to watch out for #1. You have to even in today's age, nobody else there to make sure you dont walk into traffic.

It's something which must be taught to people; the power of listening. Surprising your brother had learnt this and not both of you. This knowledge comes from parents/family; they dont teach this in school. Ironically, this knowledge is what builds society/community. Interestingly there's 2 more advanced skills which you find.

Honesty and enthusiasm.

If you are dishonest sometimes, the dishonesty from previous interactions hijacks the current advice. Can be the same for sarcastic people, people sometimes question if you're giving a sarcastic answer. It's an impediment for people.

Enthusiasm is also important, you can listen to people tell their stories and such. Give approval for the work, but if you don't go this little extra mile of making them enthusiastic about the future of the work. It just sets people off like nobodies business.
The content seems to be hosted in a GitLab repo with the raw view serving the HTML but with the wrong content type. The JS is there to fix that. Weird setup.
What evidence is there to this other than a high profile court case and Musk taking over Twitter, do you think all the activists have just suddenly given up? You don’t think they’ll fight back harder with more rigorous tactics after this?
you don't see therefore they don't do?

This only happened to me once, but I was leaving BWI airport and asked Google to drive home. I really only needed a bit of help getting onto I-70 because some of the signs were confusing. Well it started navigating and after a few turns, it definitely seemed off. Turned out it was taking me to a Home Health place. I've always been super careful since then to make sure Home was Home.
Likewise. All the best to you. I was extremely lucky my spouse came along and left a few years after me.

I think it's more to do with it being a scripting language. Scripting languages are designed to be quick and easy to write, so instead of having to deal with int/float etc, the language can do it for you.
Higher ppi help for rendering curved lines cleanly without jagged anti-aliasing.

It's a known fact that typefaces that have curved, humane shapes are more legible. That is why it is bad practice to use something like futura for long text.

I am assuming rounded corners in boxes follow that logic.
Actually, they did, back when Ireland as a whole voted for independence. That that particular part of the country may have chosen to remain does not, under democratic rules, allow for it to be separated from the main country, much like Scotland and Wales could not have argue to remain in the EU because their respective populations were overwhelmingly in favour of remain.
Unlike on iOS, your browser runtime is not tied to your phone. Most phones come with Google Chrome as the default browser which no longer gets updates below Android 7, but Firefox still gets updates on Android 5.0+.

With an up-to-date browser you run about the same risk you run if you're using a computer. The kernel exploits are problematic, but Android also adds annoying sandboxing that requires a lot of device-specific exploit code to bypass properly.

Realistically, even if just the browser was exploited and the kernel and runtime around it were perfectly secure, you'd still have a huge problem. Your browser is where all the access tokens and passwords go into and where your search history is coming from.

I wouldn't bank on these long unmaintained devices, but I think they're fine to use for most people.
He cites a poll showing that support for BLM has dropped to about 30%. That's a massive 20 point swing in 2 years. Of course the activists will continue their crusade. The question is: who is still listening?
Possible, sure, but isn't the origin of the E12 series, as opposed to using e.g. the Renard R10 series, for specifying ±10% precision parts?

1 ±10% is 0.9 to 1.1

1.2 ±10% is 1.08 to 1.32

1.5 ±10% is 1.35 to 1.65

1.8 ±10% is 1.62 to 1.98

2.2 ±10% is 1.98 to 2.42

And so on.

So the wealthy and the powerful get the person entering data on the blockchain to enter that the land belongs to them. What exactly has blockchain solved?

Whats is with the quote from that random anonymous twitter account vs trusted source? Is there some subtext I’m not getting?
Only original Bip and then successor Bip S have battery life measured in weeks, the new versions with fancy displays have already crap battery life. In my country none of the old two is sold anymore. I don't really care for health monitoring (i need smart watch only to get and read notifications), it measures heart rate, sleep, steps, sleep is quite accurate, the others can't say.

I remember there is now basically rebranded Bip with different firmware sold under different name (Bangle.js 2 or some other unknown chinese models), but nothing improved in last few years for low price in compact body. Everything else like those Casio or Garmin watch with good displays and battery life or LILYGO TTGO T-Watch-2020 are like 15mm, more than 50% ticker than original Bip.
They were probably chosen because the decision was made in concert with manufacturers who wanted to be able to continue to buy/build with the values they had before.

I’m surprised so many here are taking issue with the answer on the page. It’s a reasonable answer reflecting a pragmatic process. Just don’t rug-pull our existing components and give us more variation.

And don’t give me “you can get odd numbers with two resistors” — at the time this was done, these things were not cheap, they were not small, and doubling your component count and increasing your product size because of a new government standard would not have gone over well.
Watcom compiler shipped with DOS/4GW extender and the audacious simplicity of being able to malloc one whole megabyte in one go felt like a real magic. Good times.

* Not 100% if it was 1 meg, but 4gw ultimately removed the run-time allocation cap. If you had X megs, you could allocate X megs with one call. That was truly revolutionary.
why dont you use newpipe/libretube as it has download built right in?
You're dead on. It's staggering in its power -- permissionless composability, even if most of the data is not on-chain, and the programs are very limited in size/complexity due to the expense of running them.

Now, imagine a system where all of the data is also on-chain, and the programs you can compose are full-complexity applications... All while maintaining every independent program's data invariant in a completely decentralized manner, with transaction rates that grow linearly with the DHT size.

Such a system is now in public beta. It could be world-changing (at least for programmers).

Yeah, but many offices are likely to be converted to other uses, rather than persist with partial occupation. Hotel, residential etc

People often say it’s cost prohibitive, but it’s been done many times before, and valuations of Offices will get so depressed that conversions begin to look very lucrative
