> The cohesive nature of python is something few languages can touch.

I am not sure I follow that at all. I have not known Python to be cohesive, like at all. Just look at how to do async/concurrency in Python. (a) you can't really, and (b) there are several ways to do with all sorts of quirks.

> Most people stuck in the initial hype phase of FP often miss these things, but python is special & shouldn’t be discarded because its lack of hyped features of the day.

People saying this usually just equate functional programming with Haskell. I know van Rossum does because he has said so himself. Functional-first programming, on the other hand, is a totally different ballgame. There isn't a hype phase there because such languages, like F# sit, in about the sweetest spot you can for programming languages. Also, the features Python lacks were around for at least a decade before it. It's not like they're just now the soup of the day.
If your router has port 7547 open then it's backdoored. Map that port to 192.168.1.252 and close it up. Many internet providers do not patch security vulnerabilities. How come nobody goes after them?

Some nice historical context for many of the recent developments (e.g. why py3.11 is 30% faster), and other general topics (e.g. why certain languages denote variables using dollar signs).

You can look at the topic-shortcuts on the video timeline to see if any of these topics are of interest to you.
Similar to my commentary in other threads today. You basically won’t ever hear someone refer to a person as “center right” anymore. We can only hear that they are “far right” and that your average communist is “center left”. Just absurd.
The mission statement doesn't say "excellence" should be a primary driver, it says "expansive notions of excellence" -- a jargon phrase with a different meaning:

> Expansive excellence recognizes a shift from the traditional (and often narrow) ways that excellence has been defined and measured to explore more comprehensive and relevant ways that excellence can be defined to promote equity and achieve inclusion. Holistic admission practices strive to broaden the criteria used to assess applicants.

A lot of those fraternal organizations require having some religious belief or "belief in a higher power." I'd considered joining a couple, but was dissuaded when I read that in their rules.
> This is absurd. It makes me really doubt if you have any understanding of physics.

You are looking at the problem from the wrong angle.

Weight is not the issue.

How about this: would you prefer to be hit full force in the face with a pillow weighting 1Kg or with a bar of steel weighting the same 1Kg?

Or maybe you would prefer to be hit with a metal ruler weighting less than 100 grams.

Sounds better than 1Kg, doesn't it?

I don't know you, but I would choose the pillow any time.

I might be wrong, but I think that density is discussed in physics too.

The point is not that a bike runs as fast as a bullet, but that a bike is basically a bar of very hard, very dense, very rigid, indeformable stuff (metal and/or composite materials) like a bullet, while a car is made in a way that in case of impact its deformable body absorbs a good chunk of the kinetic energy.

The same way being hit with a piece of metal embedded in a pillow causes less harm than being hit by the naked piece of metal, even though the weight of the pillow + metal bar is higher than the metal bar alone.

TBH a car is a very heavy pillow, running too fast too often, but looking at just 15 years ago cars have gone a very long way towards safety, bikes haven't, they have in fact gained a brand new clean and green engine, becoming much heavier, much faster and much more dangerous.

The bicycle is also more dangerous for the occupant, it's irrelevant what the biker hits, could be a wall, a car, a bus, another person, the person riding the bike will be projected forward at the same speed she was riding, no way to stop it, no safety mechanism.

That's why in the Netherlands are worried about "fewer road fatalities but more serious bike accidents" and are thinking about making it mandatory to wear an helmet when riding a bike.

I'm quite sure the problem is speed.

Specifically they state that

- the number of motorcyclists or moped drivers who died following an accident increased by 24 victims to 101 last year

- While the overall number of road fatalities has reached a seven-year low, number of cyclists seriously injured in accidents continues to rise, data released by Dutch safety organisation SafetyNL reveals that the number of cyclists seriously injured in road accidents has increased by a third over the past 10 years likely as a result of the rise in popularity of the e-bike. (too fast, maybe?)

When we talk about safety, rising numbers are always a net negative, no matter the reason why. Cars are getting safer, bikes are getting less safe over time.

Bikes are not for everybody, I think not everyone should drive a car, but slower, lighter, smaller, mostly made of derformable plastic city cars will have a major impact on urban transportation, while bikes will not.

Let's talk about it in 5 years, I bet I won't be proved wrong.

maybe a video made by someone "addicted to cycling and coffee", living in a very bike friendly Country, will give you some more perspective.

If would only be "fraud and a counterfeit" if they were to affix an FCC label on the device with out having it approved by the FCC.

However if they are simply selling a device that is not approved and registered with the FCC, they are violating FCC regulations but it is not "fraud and a counterfeit"

>so could at the very least create problems in your environment and other devices.

First that assumes facts not in evidence, there is nothing proving FCC provides any actual value to society in the realm of testing. Other standards bodies or even an international approval outside of the FCC can more than fill that void. Look at electrical safety, there is no governmental body that approves devices for electrical safety that is 2(?) private organizations the most famous being UL, but there are others

Second outside of regulatory requirements one would have to assume a consumer even cares if a device is "FCC Approved" I suspect most do not care at all.
Yes, correct analysis.

Again, my point is that regardless of whether either of these things is a “good idea” or “bad idea”, it is not fair to call exchange insolvency a good thing; *one* reason here being that the second “thing” “has to exist” for the ecosystem to work.

I really did not expect this to be so controversial a point, but I suppose I haven’t done the best job expressing it.
Buy one of those big arduino starter kits (aliexpress is not a bad source actually), fuck around and find out.

My preferred method is picking a project and starting to acquire knowledge to realize it. There is plenty of stuff on YT to learn from.

"The Art of Electronics" is brilliantly written bible on everything analog and some things digital, and it starts from pretty basic stuff. It is a bit pricy tho.

It follows a format on starting with something basic like "how amplifier" works, then going into details, all of them with real, useful examples and the whole road to figure out how to make those example from scratch.

It's not "guide to electronics" per se (although it does teach stuff well), as much as reference guide on "how to do X", except that the whole way to get X is explained so on top of recipe you're getting all the reasoning behind it.

Twitter 2.0 = Free Speech
Free Speech = Woke + Non-woke
Non-woke = hate speech

Therefore Twitter is pro-hate speech.
If your hardware wallet dies it should be merely an inconvenience, since your seed phrase can be restored to another device. Since it's an open standard, it's even portable between device manufacturers in case one goes out of business.

Your second concern is valid - choose a device that's been audited.
So the problem with Discord is that following GDPR would just make for a really crappy user experience.

Let's say you're a community moderator, and you type out the rules for the community. Well... now, unless someone wants to re-do everything you did, those rules will forever say, "YourName said..." and if someone leaves a server, and asks for their content to be removed... it would make for a big mess for users and moderators, "See the pinned posts!" "Uh, what pinned posts?"

Also, quotes and replies of your messages... do those have to be removed? Someone responds to your message, and quotes, "> YourName said..." before their response. And along the same logic... there are a lot of bots that automatically track all the updates to messages, so that people can't say something nasty, and edit it and say, "No, I didn't say anything nasty!" The bots see all... and normally they record it in a public channel for the admins, where the bot just says, "YourName edited their post from X, to Y!" Do all those have to be removed?

Not to mention emoji, and sponsorship, and the list of "joined the server" / "YourName kicked SomePunk because..." where the admin leaves a note outlining why they booted someone. Would all that have to be expunged upon request?

Dunno man, I'm all for GDPR, but I think Discord is sort of like Hacker News... like public forums shouldn't have to remove content someone put up. Just find a way to change ownership or change YourName to [DeletedUser123] would be fine... still sucks from a UX perspective I think, and all the messages quoting you, and bots recording your changes... those are still there. Can't really un-pee in the pool. But you know that using Discord.

Edit... I confused GDPR with CCPA for "request to export" / "request to delete" -- sorry. Meh, I'll leave this up because I'm an idiot, and I still think Discord / "public" places should be except from requests to delete data.
How does a transaction like this provide security for both sides? Doesn't it require someone in a transaction like this to make the transfer first? Or is there some kind of digital contract that can be signed before the transaction takes place?
> and most of those deaths were caused by cars

Or by the humans driving them?

It's no surprise that the most common vehicle is involved in most of the fatal accidents.

Absolute numbers are not very interesting in this context, the difference in number of vehicles is at least an order of magnitude, it's obvious that cars are top of the list, like adults cause most of the homicides and you won't find many toddlers there.

As a data point, when Rome was in lockdown and cars were banned from the streets, accidents involving bikes and other means of transport like e-scooters, went up 5x and hospitalizations to HR went up 3x for the same kinds of accidents, compared to when cars were allowed to drive around.
I'm not taking a position on what the law should be. That was unclear in my original post, and I've edited it to reflect that.
If I were to associate asking for the $6 back with level of wealth, I'd associate it with someone who grew up poor, not rich. To people born middle class and up this is not a notable expense. If anything, the number which isn't worth thinking about should go up with the level of wealth.

However, that's a big if. I really wouldn't ascribe it to level of wealth. If they wanted to split the bill, they should have made it clear earlier, certainly not after paying the bill. It's not class, it's just being a dick.

Which is to say I agree with you. :)
Nice. I've always been a firm believer that you haven't _really_ left a platform unless you first make a blog post loudly proclaiming that you're _definitely leaving_ but this guy takes it a few steps further by:

- keeping his account active, poised to return immediately (but still, definitely leaving)

- maybe posting on Twitter occasionally to point people to ongoing resources (but still, definitely leaving)

- highlighting how moderation on Mastodon varies by instance, which pressures certain groups to return to Twitter (the place he's definitely left, remember?)

If Elon's alt-right, you're alt-left, and I don't believe either is true. Your posts are also not unpaid contributions (or if they are, then they were back when Twitter was public, too, but somehow that was okay). It takes some serious arrogance and mental gymnastics to even arrive at such a conclusion. I'd pay you to NOT post.

Shut up already, you're several weeks late to this particular bandwagon anyway.
What kind of danger do you believe these "good people" face?
As the saying goes. It’s not an airport, not necessary to announce your departure.
The real generation-proof measure of wealth and power is the number of people who are at your beck and call.

And most people don’t have nearly the reach Rockefeller did, even if they materially live better than him by some or most (all?) metrics.
Cities have much lower standard of living because no one can afford shelter. There’s too much traffic which means you can’t go anywhere except walking range. So there may actually be equal or less to do in the city simply because your range is so short. And crime is huge problem too, now more than ever

> I don’t think that Berlin has substantially more mountains in the city than Amsterdam

Berlin, in fact, is not a country.

As I've said cannot be used as a template for any other country in the World, **except maybe some flat urban area**

Paris is not the Netherlands, you cannot export the Netherlands ways to Paris.

Moreover, there are on average 150,000 street accidents in Berlin every year.

Last year (2020), 14,782 people were hurt in road accidents in Berlin - the lowest figure in 30 years, according to police data. (thanks COVID I guess...)

In Rome, considered the hell on earth of street rage (69 cars every 100 people, negative record in Europe) ~10.500 people were injured in the same period.

Same population, 1.4 times more accidents.

Perception is very different from reality.
I was hoping with Elon granting "amnesty" that my account would get unbanned, but unfortunately my accounts remain banned for no obvious reason despite just about never being used and the appeal option being broken. Now I've just given up hope.

Kind of frustrating because some of my favorite streamers use Twitter to announce their impromptu streaming.

Anyways, all platforms ban people, even Hacker News. If free speech depends on private money paying for fancy engineers and infrastructure around the world, then there's something strangely expensive about your free speech. Which begs the question of just who is paying for this free speech (advertisers).
It's my default.

It feels somewhat unfashionable lately, but I think that's because my primary clients are doing AWS Serverless. I'm a troglodyte with a colo'ed server and no personal stuff in the cloud. :)

My personal projects, though, remain node and pg. It's like a comfy pair of slippers, just works, well supported. Give it a whirl, the worst that happens is you hate it and try something else.
Elon bought twitter in hopes of turning it into his personal idea billboard, and also for it to serve as a promotional platform for people he wants to leverage. Even with a smaller audience, because of it's web presence, it does the job for him, even if it loses money in the short run.

It does no good to express personal quitting on platforms like this, as they were never meant to serve unpopular, non-wealthy, and uninfluential people like us. The false narrative that any of these platforms offer us any potential beyond minor success or indentured work is what keeps people grinding at working for free to coddle the egos of those in control of these useless celebrity commercial platforms.

They don't care if you quit and delete your account. It's long overdue to stop caring about apps like Twitter, just abandon your account and move on.
Yes, definitely easier said than done.

That said, you are absolutely correct that it'll be a heavy lift to find alternate supplies of many materials and items.

That makes it no less necessary.

Germany had made apparently catastrophic reliance on Russian NatGas, and looked like a horrible winter. Yet they have extricated themselves within 10 months so much that even without that Russian supply, NatGas prices are actually falling going into winter.

It is necessary.
Asinine to reduce "wealth" to "quality of middle class consumer goods available", as if a Soros or a Trump's top priority is having the most accurate wristwatch. Rockefeller was able to, for instance, insert multiple of his family into high political office. He had a retinue of servants available that freed his time essentially to his complete discretion. He was able to personally finance and set the priorities of multiple educational institutions. His charitable foundation had / has its fingers in multiple social movements for good and ill, maintaining influence in what is likely to be perpetuity.

But you've got air conditioning and MRIs, congratulations (Rockefeller lived to be 97 without those btw).
My point is rather than deciding which economy is large enough to decide for itself how to tariff, you let everyone decide for themselves. And in fact this is how the world works by default, and even the US chooses selective tariffs… so what does it mean to selectively cry “fair trade” only when it benefits your local corporate interests?

Think about the opposite of what you are suggesting… should China now start subsidizing US businesses by buying made in USA when they don’t have to? If we make good products, they have no choice but to buy it because their citizens will demand it.
Not the OP, but my experience when I had interviews and worked on improvement wasn't that much on technical side as it was on "soft skills" that had a bigger impact on the interview outcome than I was previously willing to admit. But even if the study is technical, that's OK. There are a lot of pieces that rarely occur outside academia and hiring interviews, and after years you'd want to fresh things up, even if it's just to improve recall and answer times during the interview, if nothing else.
Have you tried including parts of speech (for example, as bigrams and trigrams) as part of the features considered in your model? I’ve had great success with stylometry that goes beyond TF-IDF with bags of words; including grammar patterns was shockingly good.

(FWIW, it didn’t find my throwaways; my own model didn’t, either, because I knew that word choice wasn’t enough to avoid being outed by stylometry)

Edit: by bigrams and trigrams, I mean reducing word to their parts of speech labels and using THOSE as word tokens. You’ll find that native English speakers have higher weights on some phrase construction patterns than, say, folks from Romania. TF-IDF is useful for these POS-grams (just made that word up) as well.
People have left churches for a plethora of reasons, many of which stem from the church itself being corrupt. But moreover, as you mentioned people want a sense of community without and of the accountability that Church asks.

You don’t want to tithe because you don’t trust leadership with your money.

You don’t want to be told you’re doing things wrong, or to fix some of your sins.

You don’t want a judgmental group of people who think they are better than you.

You don’t want people who say they are generous but ignore the homeless and needy around them.

You want community without the worshiping God part. You want total freedom without guilt. And you want everything you do to be accepted without judgement.

The Church doesn’t exist to stroke egos or to center around a common interest (like a hobby). It supposed to be a place where broken people come and try to look more like Jesus. Even the Pharisees were corrupt. Corruption in the church isn’t new.

I think the positive impacts of the church aren’t publicized like the negatives are, just like any other large community, so like many people just take the worst and throw the baby out with the bath water.

There are good churches. There are good people. And money is honestly accounted for and used by churches.

I highly encourage lonely people to try church. But don’t just walk in thinking it’s perfect or that everyone there is to serve you hand and foot for just attending. It’s more of a hospital with patients that are committed to seeing each other get better.
What other easily-built products do you think should not exist?
Edit: Yeah, there's no race condition; the client sends the offending socket to blocklistd over the blocklistd socket.

(Originally…)

I'm a bit curious; it also seems to imply that it logs the fd number, and then blocklistd queries the kernel to obtain the remote's address. That seems like a race condition:

1. blocklist call is made
2. daemon closes the socket (connection has failed, after all)
3. next client connects
4. lookup is made by blocklistd, and the wrong peer is potentially incriminated

(Actually, perhaps it's sending the fd over the socket. I forget you can do that, and the README is hard for me to follow. The "like syslog" also implied that it's logging over syslog to me, but that's not what the code does.)
Please don’t try to make literally everything about politics and political teams. Applying politics everywhere is getting us into a hell of a mess.
I did something similar. It worked out for me because I live in the midwest US, with a lifestyle that's not actively frugal but is definitely below the average cost of living, but I was working remotely for west coast salaries. That made it really easy to save up money.

I'm nearing the end of it now, and I've spent about $6000 over three months on things I'd categorize as normal living expenses (I took a couple of trips that added a few thousand to that). I'm not so well off that I can call this a trivial amount of money, but it wasn't the hardest decision ever, and I could make it work for much longer if I had to.
Crimethinc, the same anarchist collective in the OP who is complaining about getting banned from twitter by Musk, has been banned by social media before.

https://crimethinc.com/2020/12/21/surviving-the-social-media...

The idea that there are "two sides" and that one was "in power" before and the other now, is an over-simplification.

I can't find an exact piece to quote now, but I know I saw crimethinc and/or other anarchists urging people not to get so excited about calling for twitter to ban things too, on the grounds of: Don't count on capitalists or the state to rescue us, they will much prefer to use their tools against us, and overall the power twitter has to control discourse is the problem and we've got to get off of it.
