This rings true for me. I did my undergraduate in commercial music as a piano player which required me to take 2 years of performance practicum with piano performance majors. They were leagues better than me and I knew it, but we all had to perform many times in front of everyone each semester on very technical baroque, classical and romantic era pieces. Since I knew I was the most out of my depth, I knew I had nothing to lose by performing in front of much more seasoned pianists. The funny thing is how reluctant the performance majors were to go first. So I always volunteered first and often to practice humility, and as a way of breaking the ice. It gave people confidence to go for it if a relative neophyte was performing and doing okay. It was sometimes embarrassing if I performed poorly, but it made a HUGE difference in helping me to learn what I was doing wrong and to get rid of my fear of failure. I learned my craft a LOT quicker during this time. Fail early and often and learn :)
Free while there are alternatives.

After they asfixiated the competition they're free to jack up the prices.

Smart business practice really.
The entire point of this linguistic exercise is that your opinion that you would not give up your ability to hear is no more or less valid than someone's opinion to the contrary.
The thing is that these legal threats are usually empty, as far as the chances go of actually winning. There might be more cause for the concern in the UK or other countries, but in the US it's very hard for a public figure to win a libel suit, even if the reporting is sloppy, or even if the reporting contains substantial false information, as long as it wasn't done on purpose. That was established in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan.

If the reporter is unlikely to have to hand money over via a judgement or settlement, that leaves the cost of hiring lawyers to defend the case. For an individual, that cost can still be ruinous, which is why so-called SLAPP suits really are a big problem. But an organization like the New York Times gets sued all the time. They have in-house counsel and paying them is part of the cost of doing business.

In theory, the cost of defending more libel suits could still be problematic in aggregate. But the proof is in the pudding. The New York Times is constantly publishing negative articles about all sorts of people. Just looking at the front page and limiting to investigative reporting (not coverage of specific news events, and not editorials) of targets that could theoretically sue (not e.g. Putin): today there's an article on the owner of 4chan; yesterday there was one on Trump; the day before, one on a large hospital chain (which "spent years cutting jobs, leaving it flat-footed when the pandemic hit"); the day before that, an article naming several extremists attending a Young Republican Club event. And of course there are many other articles that people could take offense to; Sarah Palin recently lost a libel case against the NYT for a 2017 editorial.
Twitter is a private company. If you don't like the choices they make about what speech to allow on their platform, just start your own.
Definitely one of the best World Cup finals ever. Even 1/2 finals were too good. Argentina deserved their win, I missed di Maria when they replaced him, and when it was 2:2, he couldn't be there when he was needed the most. The Polish referee did amazing job as well, one must say.
Thanks for the link! This site actually has a database of youtube transcripts unlike OP. Shame you can't search fixed strings, like two words in exact order. Though it seems genuinely useful for learning pronunciation as advertised.
> And he kept his word once elected and negotiated a peace deal with Putin. It was the US and NATO that stepped in to break that apart when it was just about to be signed.

This is nonsense. Zelenskyy is on record saying the opposite and blaming Putin for not accepting the peace offering and also it’s obvious Putin started the war. Nobody else did
I mean, providing executables is probably the main purpose of a Linux distro. Ubuntu is playing with their raison d'etre.
Snaps don't update when the app is running. I don't know what happened here, but it seems the problem might be somewhere else.

Twitter needs to add OnlyFans and other porn sites to their list.
If you want to do something simple, read Beej's Guide to Networking (many other have recommended it in this thread) to learn networking fundamentals and C APIs. Next, learn about HTTP - MDN is a good resource, but may go too in depth for this project at times. HTTP 1.1 is super simple. The best thing about HTTP? It's all just plain text and newlines. Parsing it is super easy. This is a good learning exercise - good luck on it.
Dang that's a great idea. C-c C-c for me triggers vim slime, but the semantic of using it to exit insert mode might warrant a change
I use most sites at 90% or below, HN is the only site I keep at 100% (across mobile, laptop, and desktop monitors).

Information density is seriously undervalued these days.
When I was in my 30s and had two small children, my appendix burst. It turned into a fairly routine procedure to remove it and get me back on my feet; but I realized that if I had lived even 100 years ago it probably would have been fatal.

Near death experiences can change your whole perspective. When I was young and single, I did all kinds of crazy things that could easily have ended me. Once I got married and had children, I definitely became much more conservative in the personal risks I was willing to take because it wasn't just about me anymore.

Tomorrow is promised to no one, but each of us can do things to minimize risk.

The document is called Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative.

By the way, I find the word "Elimination" very violent. It should have a non-harmful alternative.
Delivery of music over the internet killed cd sales. Napster proved that people wanted online music. That enabled everything else. It forced the industry to adapt or die.

>When MS bought github many people moved to gitlab and started to advertise their gitlab IDs. I too put my gitlab in there. But ultimately, gitlab didn't catch on on a permanent basis: most devs still are on github, thanks to network effects. People removed their gitlab mentions.

That's some way of equivocating very different situations. Gitlab is a product/platform for developers, not the general public, and Mastodon has received the public's positive attention for much longer than people talked about the buyout.

You don't see HN users belittling Signal because it failed to come even close to replacing Whatsapp's 2B users. In fact the opposite is the case as fanboying the former goes so far that Matrix as the even better alternative is repeatedly argued against.

What you're talking about is exactly the ridiculousness of the situation. People around the world are forced to rely on foreign platforms to communicate and can't leave unless their community follows. This design is the issue, not a particular business.
You must've been watching from a different universe in the multiverse then. Messi was class in the tournament and only responded "nastily" to the Netherlands since they were playing dirty and running their mouths disrespectfully. If you come at the King, you best not miss.
Free tier of cloudflare and the cache everything setting + maybe a page rule or so will probably do most of what you want.

One could argue a clear definition of "cross posting" should be provided before assuming it'd be allowed. A policy like this is going to have a chilling effect regardless, due to the ambiguity. It's also a quite absurd for a free-speech platform to even have such a policy in the first place, even if it's attempting to reign in "direct promotion" rather than sharing content across platforms.

> At both the Tweet level and the account level, we will remove any free promotion of prohibited 3rd-party social media platforms, such as linking out (i.e. using URLs) to any of the below platforms on Twitter, or providing your handle without a URL.

The fact that the first explanatory paragraph calls these other platforms "prohibited 3rd-party social media platforms" is confusing at best.
Locoscript (the WP that came bundled with Amstrad's PCW series of Z80 small office machines -- probably the best-selling CP/M boxes ever, first sold in 1985) didn't actually run under CP/M. Locoscript could read and write the same filesystem as CP/M 3.0, which you could also boot by flipping the 3" disk over, but it had its own i/o subsystem and ran on the bare metal. (At least the version that Amstrad licensed -- earlier, Locoscript was apparently sold as a horrifically expensive dedicated legal word processing package. The Amstrad version was a cut down cheap'n'cheerful port.)

Also, Locoscript 1.00 really was anything but fast: saving a document over about 20kb to floppy could easily take a minute or two, and if it exceeded the free disk space the WP would crash hard with a corrupted screen buffer ...!

That's the thing, free speech is not something that exists in society -- there are always ramifications/costs for speech. Free speech does exist as a protection from government oversight of ideas -- but even in this case there are limits (yelling fire in a theater).

Anyone claiming they are all about unlimited free speech on any platform is either delusional or lying -- the market costs (and laws) will always impact speech in the best case, and the people running the site will always hit their limits. It always devolves into "free speech (for some definition of free that I define as free)".

In twitters case, free speech is limited by the whims of musk's thin skin on one hand while open for concepts he agrees with like hate, antisemitic and racist alt right junk.

Most of the time you can't even view a public Instagram post without being logged into an Instagram account.
I'd expect that there's a fair amount of local-release content that might not have surviving recordings. Individual episodes of things like local newscasts, public affairs shows, those weird weekend "lifestyle" shows where all the guests are local advertisers basically paying for a 10-minute ad spot. There might be a representative episode floating around, but does anyone necessarily have the December 16, 2007 episode of the Channel 83 Action News at Noon? If they do, is it publically accessible, or sitting in some dusty records room at Channel 83, on decaying tape?
Yeah, even as a non lawyer the nlrb findings seem out there these days. She’ll be around for a while - retread Trump is a no go in 24 - I’ll be donating heavily to dems again and I’m confident many others will to vs having him back in charge
I think Pascal's sun set because Borland killed it with Delphi.

In my opinion, Borland was the 300lbs gorilla in the Pascal compiler arena, so when Borland decided to move push Delphi over Pascal, there was no interest in filling the Pascal hole.

btw I wrote commercial products on Pascal that I thought was neat. A chat program that used IPX/SPX, a a fax server using DesqView, and MS Mail queues both inbound and outbound, reverse delta databases that stored all changes at field level, overcame the 640K memory barrier by using a TSR that swapped the data in/out on demand, and a proto-PXE server using my insanely fast copy program over IPX. That was the good old times.
Ah, yes. This served me fairly well for some time. However, I also needed to remember the actual tool I used for the job. Was it ffmpeg? ffprobe? gifsicle? was it ImageMagick's convert? Not too bad if these are the only tools, but I also use pandoc, BluetoothConnector, pdftotext, qpdf, multiple AppleScripts, qrencode, system_profiler, fb-rotate, duti, sips, git... Bash history also remembers failed attempts, so I need to filter those out as I recall the successful one...

Wrapping the winning command with a memorable function makes it a bit easier for me to recall the right incantation via fuzzy searching. For example: "set default" (resolves to dwim-shell-commands-macos-set-default-app) vs "duti" (which I can never remember).
There's a surprising/wild girl I know, the security guard at the library explained the smashed window with one word - her name.
I agree that writing the network code is more interesting. Perhaps make a really simple proxy server that accepts connections and forwards data to another http server
Mbappe hardly did anything in the first 80 minutes of the game though. But yeah he still outshone everybody else.
Interesting how TikTok is missing from the list.
My sense was Delphi was replaced more by Visual Basic, though it's entirely possible that's based on my personal experience and didn't represent a larger trend.
The parinfer argument is funny. It's quite literally an argument for syntactically significant whitespace. With parinfer you can just remove the parenthesis in most cases! Or rather, parinfer will infer them. So.. if a computer can infer them always... why do you have them?
Im starting to think this Musk dude isn’t as smart as he made people believe.
Sounds like they acknowledge Musk turned Twitter into a dumpster fire, and they're desperately trying to limit anything that can remotely support the ongoing exodus from Twitter.
It's hard to have a second when Maradona himself is second. Statistically, Messi is better. Trophy-wise, Messi is better. The only area where they come close is style of play since they are both dribbling playmaking forwards.
Worth noting that Latinos are themselves colonizers (well, at least of mixed ancestry). Latinx is still stupid and condescending, but framing it as colonialism is a bit reductive.
That's silly.

Say, Musk is worth 169 billion. UK's Hinkley Point C is somewhere around 25 billion. Now, maybe that particular plant is a special problem child, but I wouldn't expect to have a new, untested yet technology built for cheaper than a troublesome nuclear one.

So Musk can build a total of 6 of those, probably a good deal less because that's just theoretical wealth -- he'd have to sell everything he owns, and wouldn't get the full price for that.

To build more he'd need more money. To get money, those plants need to make a profit, and pay off their loans. At that construction price it's virtually certain they never will.

So the attempt would probably die at that -- at most 6 plants, producing power at a price nobody wants to pay. They either idle since nobody's buying, or sell at a huge loss until money runs out.
Cobol is far from dead.
It is not sexy and I dont know of any systems starting out today using it.
But there are massive legacy systems till out there.

At least a couple years ago Cobol programmers were in high demand.

According to Microfocus [1 (2018)] over 2 million people worldwide are active full-time Cobol programmers, and it is running quite a few mission critical
systems.

Switching ESC to Caps Lock took significantly less time to retrain muscle memory than I expected.
Interesting point: if we need to know two things, one of them being air temperature and the other being [windspeed or windchill], the second thing ought to be whichever delivers more overall value.

If you can figure out how to dress based on either one equally well, then it comes down to what else can be gleaned from windspeed vs from windchill. I would tend to agree that windspeed is more valuable, as it's better at readily telling you if an activity you're planning to do, which is only possible under certain windspeeds (like using a tent or something), will be doable.
Okay let's make wild generalizations about a whole population.

I spoke of two players from the French team, not French people as a whole. If I were to say anything about the French team though, I'd say they deserve oscars for their fake injuries to kill the clock. Again, not speaking of French people or fans, just the team and in particular two players.

Saw how Argentina's goalie celebrated and agree it was in poor taste, but that does not discredit the points made in my original post regarding their team functioning as a well oiled machine rather than separate components in an incomplete machine.

What Messi said to Weghorst, hard to tell when there's one perspective given. What was reported as being said seems wildly unlikely to have sparked such a reaction. So, until more accounts from other sides are given to paint a duller picture, what was reported seems bias as hell
Yeah, well, it sort of falls apart once people start pointing out that Elon Musk is the richest African-American.
Pretty nice. The sliver of content still worth watching on YouTube doesn't have repetitive stuff or padding to make it to the 10 min mark though.

If you go to the homepage with clear cookies it's just endless amounts of utterly dogshit cookie cutter content. Same clickbait thumbnails with a person pulling an idiotic expression. Even the videos masquerading as educational are entertainment at best. If I had kids I'd do everything in my power to keep them away from YouTube.
This is how I understand it, also.

e.g. "You may upload an image to Instagram and also upload that image to Twitter. However, you may not link to that image on Instagram."
Bien Leo! Te lo merecías.
That's entirely possible.

If it's the case, it's just... sad.
I'm not an expert but I doubt there's really a ton of profit in rides. Uber, Lyft, even taxi companies are barely profitable after many years. With the amount of money and time spent on making self driving work I'm not sure they'll ever make their money back.
I am at 96% of my follow count on Mastodon as on Twitter, and that is just for one of my accounts. If I include my main alt, I have more on Mastodon.

"Spade" has been used as a derogatory term for blacks.

"White space" is treating white as good? You're replacing white with "empty", no content, meaningless, and you think white is being used to indicate good? Nope. You (Stanford, not the parent) just took a list of phrases and grepped for "white", but didn't actually think.

Why it is hard-coded to English? When I try to transcribe a video in any other language it throws the error:

It even knows what language is available, so why no dump that instead?
I wasn’t able to find anyone I know, and the incoming discovery feeds were people I didn’t know anything about talking about stuff I wasn’t interested in. Overall it was just really quiet and felt empty. Maybe this means I joined the wrong server, not sure. Eventually it seems someone deleted the server I was on, I am not sure if I can do anything about that or not.

When I first joined Twitter it seemed like more people I knew where there, so that initial bootstrapping was a lot easier.
Many of those cancers might be caused by pollution... For example, UV in sunlight is thought to be the main cause of skin cancer. UV is far higher today than 100 years ago because we destroyed most of the ozone layer. But we don't actually know how thick the ozone layer used to be or how much UV used to reach ground level because we never measured it before destroying it. So possibly skin cancer was very rare 100 years ago.

The same for cancer's from nitrous oxides from car exhausts. The same for particulate pollution. Same for microplastics. The same for all the kinds of pollution we don't yet know about or measure.
The Republican Party are distinct from the concept of conservative and reactionary politics. They practice both. As do the Democratic Party for that matter. A mental might might be that a party is a group of practitioners and these types of politics are tools they use to accomplish an agenda (though that model implies these tools are amoral and equivalent, which I don't agree with - I find conservative politics unobjectionable, though I tend to disagree with conservative positions, and reactionary politics thoroughly objectionable, as it usually goes hand in hand with bigotry).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactionary

(See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivism)

It's useful to tease these concepts apart so we can better understand & critique certain policy positions. When Democrats vocally oppose student loan forgiveness, they are practicing conservative politics, for instance. It's not simply that Republicans are reliably conservative and Democrats are reliably progressive.

And there are many other forms of politics, these are just the most prevalent in US politics today.
I'm similar. You might try swimming if it is practical for you, it has made a world of difference for me. It is close to a perfectly balanced exercise, involving nearly all muscles, low impact, cardio and breath control, and above all it is fun (at least for me and a significant percentage of people).
There’s absolutely no pro free speech excuse for this one
A brief look at Helion's site indicates their technology requires He3 in the fuel mix. He3 comprises only about 10e-6 of natural helium, which itself is not exactly common. Is needing He3 more or less of an issue than needing tritium?
By what possible metric could you consider C++ "mostly dead"? I'm fairly sure that most, if not all AAA games nowadays are coded in C++, for example. Never mind such little known projects like GCC, Qt, and LLVM. It's not a language I care to use, but it's clearly still very healthy: widely used and regularly updated.
Do you have to live with the consequences?

If someone gets a pain-killing implant or eye camera that goes off support after 5 years, how are you materially impacted for the worse?
Yup. I could tell immediately from using it that i would use it for so many things if it was more correct. Or at the very least, less confidently incorrect. I found it to be an amazing learning assistant. It explained things in depth, and let me dive into basically any topic. I was floored with the amount of freedom i felt with it.

Of course, i mostly tested it on things i already knew in depth. So i caught many areas it got subtly wrong. If it could either reduce this error rate or improve understanding of it's own knowledge bounds.. boy, i would use that every day.

It didn't feel alive.. it felt like a calculator, but the best calculator i've ever seen. I was and am immensely excited for the v2 or v3. Also a little afraid.
