What is the connection between X being a landlord and Y not being allowed to be a landlord?
I would just like to point out that an EWI can in no way reproduce a real woodwind instrument. That's because woodwinds rely to varying degrees on vocal tract resonance and other properties of the airstream. I occasionally think about how an EEG-like array of electrodes around the throat could reproduce this but lack expertise in understanding how that might happen or if it was even possible. Anyway it makes the EWI experience really disapointing for me compared to playing a real saxophone especially the big grunt that articulating and intonating a baritone sax can produce, and the totally hammed up in your face emotionality possible on the soprano sax.
This is an insane statement. Abortion rights do matter. Voting for veterans and 9/11 firefighters to get healthcare matters. Restricting voting right matters [0]. Not giving in to radical christians (as a christian myself) matters.

> Both caffeine and nicotine suppress hunger. I don't recommend smoking, but I rely a lot on coffee sometimes.

I drink a lot of black tea and use nicotine gums, and my hunger is... enough to keep my weight way higher than I'd like. So either I'm doing it wrong - perhaps it needs to be actual coffee and cigarettes[0] - or... I should never stop, because my baseline hunger must be off the charts.

[0] - Wouldn't be the first time people, including scientists, confuse tobacco (a processed product whose consumption involves smoke and complex chemical reactions releasing a lot of biologically active substances) with nicotine (a single chemical that is one of the many things you ingest when smoking).
you can, and probably should, program ESP8266 with the RTOS SDK and skip all the Arduino nonsense altogether.
That would merely incentivize locking down general purpose devices until they can no longer be considered general purpose. Perhaps by restricting the set of programs that can be installed. Probably you'd end up with some kind of "app store" that... wait...
There's often a bunch of different versions in nixpkgs. For example, postgres currently has 11 through 15 available (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/e7f345ca81f4f5513c4e73...). Nodejs has 14, 16, 18, and 19 (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/e7f345ca81f4f5513c4e73...).
These initiatives, even in the best case are only likely to subset people with "healthy" interests as opposed to changing what the discourse on twitter or facebook is.

A lot of the online conflicts are downstream of the socio/economic/cultural realities that people deal with.
> shareholders have to carry the can

Shareholders hold shares by choice, so they don't "have to" do anything.

If there are 22 years of records about which fines were paid, then the market must have already priced in this information a long time ago. Shareholders chose to pay that market price.
> Do you think governments have had "more and more power" in the last fifty years? What is your reasoning?

If opposite was true then there would be never debate about helping bankers after crisis few years back, government shouldn't have power to "help" private investors with taxpayers' money.

> If you concentrate more and more wealth in fewer hands, then you can also expect corruption.

Why should I care about corruption inside companies? Corrupted companies are less effective, they will eventually die. What I care about is corruption inside government - you have no solution for corrupted officials - I have: just don't give them too much power, then even if they are corrupted they won't make much damage.

> The thing about capitalism is that capital generates capital. Someone who is already wealthy can "chill" and get a better outcome than someone who works much harder.

That's not the feature of capitalism, that's feature of corrupted government with too much power - in free market, if you have capital and don't create any goods, but only spend it eventually you have less capital - it's simple math.

GitHub Org admins have the option to block all regular PATs, and only allow fine-grained tokens that they pre-approve. This block is “off” by default, but I expect the best practice soon will be to enforce this rule.
use tailscale ssh, you’ll need to connect your clients to the tailnet. But in exchange your ip won’t be publicly visible!
> So we should call that sex dysphoria, gender would be a misnomer here (see above)

Agree.

> As you say it is like the leg amputee, clearly that is not the right course of action

When you talk about the "right course of action", this is subjective. How do you evaluate that? Surely it is personal long-term day-to-day happiness, and with some consideration for the happiness of family members and then society.

I think there are cases where people actually live a happier life from this amputation. It's a really strange thing. Like they are happier even though they now are disabled. I think normal people simply cannot grasp this because they don't have any analogous situations. Perhaps it could be simulated in virtual reality. It's really interesting to read interviews with these guys. https://www.thecut.com/2015/01/what-its-like-to-crave-amputa... They seem like normal people.

Regarding surgery, you could also imagine that one day you grew breasts and large female nipples/areolas. Would you be embarrassed to be at the beach with a top off? Would you want them removed if you could? Absolutely yes for me. And this is very different from manboobs. I just googled that and yeh it looks very weird and its a thing.

> Rather the gender change is sex conforming in this line of thought.

Hmm, interesting to think about. An interesting thought experiment is to imagine having lived a life as a male, and then waking up as a female. What would you do? How would you modify your life? Would you look at surgery?

I think its different with male to female and female to male. I always view the "female gender" as kind of a "male+". In that men are kind of like a default gender and then women have all these extra societal expectations. Like females can easily be males by just doing less female stuff - makeup, clothing, etc. Women dress in men's clothing all the time, but not the other way around.

What's interesting is when you ask the question to trans people: "why don't you just go along with the sex you were assigned", they always talk of a very strong inner feeling that they simply can't. I haven't been able to find someone to present it in a way that is understandable for a cis person...which does make me skeptical of the need to be seen as a societal woman, vs it being related to other issues (general depression and homosexuality).

But I think you are right in that a sex change shouldn't really require a gender change.

"and non-JVM apps like PostgreSQL" PostgreSQL can (and has) been compiled to Wasm! It was on HN a couple of months ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33067962
Perennial question
Eventually someone will develop an IDE with a proper sandbox for plugins and extensions, rather than the free-for-all that is VSCode.
Seeing recently Onivim 2 die and Brackets too (I don’t know much about that project, but it was Adobe backed FWIW) reminds me that these things can come and go. Getting people to become users and getting plug-in authors to invest their time seems like a nightmare. It’s surely no coincidence that VS Code was backed by a mega corp.
I see your profile says you’re in your early 20s, so I kind of understand the question but also I’ll be blunt: yes, there will be another text editor. 90% of the tools you use today will be gone by the end of your career.
> We pretending miners and exchanges can't be legislated out of existence

Yes? I am assuming you are either not very technical, or do not know a lot about how cryptocurrencies work.

Disclaimer: I am not a proponent of cryptocurrency, I don't own any cryptocurrency, and I am only arguing the technical issue.

If you're talking about banning the hardware, it's probably possible to essentially stop the production and sale of ASIC miners since they have no other purpose, but that's only one type of hardware. People would still be able to use regular CPUs and GPUs to mine.

If you're talking about completely banning the participation in a blockchain, this would be impossible to detect as long as the traffic is encrypted -- if you constantly look for IP addresses and keep a blocklist up to date, you could essentially null-route them (breaking DNS is not enough).

If you do all of the above, which is a lot of work and already completely untenable to sort out on an international level, you still haven't solved the issue of darknets, like Tor or any similar solution.

Take the Silk Road for example, probably one of the most famous darkweb marketplaces for illicit drugs ever. We can only guess how much money and time the FBI spent building a case, and even when they managed to find him by bending every opsec weakness they could find, they still had to ambush him in a library and catch him with his laptop unlocked.

My point here is that nobody claims darknets will protect you completely, but it raises the bar immensely for the amount of necessary work to catch you. If blockchains (currencies) were made illegal globally, it's a pretty safe bet this would accelerate technology for doing the exact same things as before, just in an anonymized fashion.

Then what? Do you illegalize writing code that facilitates cryptocurrency? Illegalize darknets?

Just saying "make it illegal" is naive. It chooses to ignore the massive violations of our rights that would have to be made to not even succeed, but create the appearance of succeeding.

If you have a concrete proposal on how it would be technically possible to ban miners and exchanges, without also banning encryption and anonymity online, I'm listening.
Or just use tailscale ssh, and turn off the old sshd.
That is already case, it isn't formalized though. If you want to be a bank executive you must prove both theoretical and practical skills and management experience. That is already a steep hill. Also, any criminal record, especially related to banking or money makes it harder or outright impossible to qualify.
It's disheartening to read some of the replies to your comment. A large number of Americans seem so traumatized/conditioned to the suburban/car-centric setup, that they can't even envision a future with Transit.

It is doubly sad, because the political and economic dominance of the boomer era was so pronounced, that many Americans now dream of a future (suburban white picket fence house) that is derived from exactly this unsustainable past that made the 'dream' unachievable in the first place. American suburbia works if you live in a unipolar era of unprecedented wealth that's unmatched almost anywhere else in the world or in history. Well, duh. It's no different to considering Dubai's abandoned Palm Islands or World Islands a sensible infrastructure because they haven't yet bankrupted a country with practically infinite per-capita wealth. The first sign of economic troubles will decisively doom your nation. It's started for America, and other unsustainable cities will follow suit.

it is staring Americans in their face too. Every private money-conscious closed-system mini-govt ensure that transit and density are in order. People rave about the convenience of buses in college towns and Disneyland's metro system, as if either of those are unrealistic outside of those contexts.

I have said it before and will say it again. American urban infrastructure (or lack there of) is the closest thing we have to a monocausal root of all of America's problems. Obesity, loneliness, cost of living, low trust, Govt. debt etc etc.
Companies host data a lot more valuable than source code in the cloud. Developers like to think we’re the center of the business, but access to a company’s Salesforce or NetSuite instance is a lot more economically valuable than access to a company’s GitHub org.
Absolutely, hence the remark about totalitarian states; such ideas aren't compatible with currently mainstream views.
This "esoteric hack and myth" would also apply to non-networking related stuff. Like waiting for a sensor readout to be ready.

Why do you need JNI? You could just compile C-like code to run on the JVM using a byte[] array as the equivalent of memory. This is similar to how high-performance Java code is written already, to ensure that GC is completely out of the way.

In fact GCC used to have a JVM target, called GCJ. It was removed due to lack of maintenance.
This seems to be exactly what ChatGPT is good at: present static knowledge from a given text corpus in a linguistically fluent manner.

The full ChatGPT does that for "the internet" as it was on training time (2021). One of its disadvantages/challenges for information retrieval tasks is that its knowledge cannot be updated easily (perhaps soon to be more or less resolved), and that it's unclear how it has gathered the specific knowledge it is presenting.

Regarding the updating part, it still needs an automated way to discover new sources which leads back to internet crawling and hence one of the most costly parts of current search engines.
Why would your teenager years be relevant here? Nowadays companies are online and jobs are online. There are an infinite amount of reasons why you would want to link your online identity to your personal one. You're not forced to and you should still be able to make anonymous and silly accounts, but this is not the point.

>You don't apply via Twitter DM, I hope.

If a company has a Twitter, why wouldn't I? Many young businesses less revering of e-mail gladly use Twitter as a valid avenue for these kinds of communications.

>just migrate

Mastodon handles migration terribly. You can either redirect or straight up move. In both cases your old profile is still in full display and your posts don't transfer.

iOS 15 works just fine on the 6s. Can’t say it’s noticeably slower.
This. We need to remember this if we’re to use VS Code and any of their LSPs.
Why there would not be?
Now let's see how well you handle it.
lsp actually came out of the .net opensource community. omnisharp to be exact. It's funny how much is actually attributed to MS in this case, when most of VSCode did not originate there.

There's no reason at all why VSCode has "won" the same way Windows and Google did. VSCode fixed two main issues of Atom. If anything it was a natural evolution. The name was just a smart marketing play. There are some things that are exclusive VSCode but most of the important pieces are not.

I think the main reason there is no direct VSCode competitor is because there is currently no need to. People that use their own respective flavours of editors have almost the same features in their own respective features, so what's the point in mirroring it?
Some also come with a non-stick (Teflon-type) coating. Zojirushi makes incredibly nice vacuum-insulated bottle [1] that unfortunately has a non-stick liner. The inside of the bottle is super easy to clean, but the chemicals used in the manufacturing are awful.

> drag their feet when implementing actually useful anti-fraud measures (like supporting Verified-by-Visa)

Most ecommerce merchants are non-technical, and utilise 3rd party platforms (Shopify, Bigcommerce etc) that in combination with their Payment Gateway don't support these systems.

I can safely say that every order my business has received with a Tutanota address has turned out to be fraud. It is a really strong indicator for a fraudulent transaction.

There are many other signals, but for some reason this is a really strong one.

We see a similar trend with Aleeas, and Simplelogin.

We still get fraud from Gmail and Outlook addresses, but it is picked up using other indicators, IP, IP owner, Shipping Address, phone number reachability, carrier, Payment Methods, name, useragent, "for lease" or "for sale" status of the delivery address etc etc...

If by the time you finish paying your mortgage, your home has a literal value of 0, you're not building wealth. This is not a hypothetical, it's like this in Japan. There are reasons to own a home, but wealth is not necessarily one.

There is a skit out there about the American dream, something like “where the little guy does well, advances, gets promoted, becomes the boss, and then can stamp on all the little guys”
Right now is tricky and looks like a Rube-Goldberg machine to get many things running. However, it is getting easier and easier to do so. Eventually you will not have to do the compilation itself, but there will be plenty of Wasm binaries ready to use. This will be similar to Linux, most people don't compile the source code for apps from scratch, just use the distro package manager
The default Python extension is already proprietary.
> Society is not obligated to provide life time rent for you

Society should be obligated to pay me for work that I've done if they wish to enjoy that work. If I write a book and 20-years later you want to read that book, why should you get it for free? Why shouldn't demand that you pay me money for that book?

Society is not entitled to free shit. Remember Society isn't obligated to provide payment, just the people who want the creations.
That's uniquely masculine perspective. No woman I know of would agree to wear the same boots for ten years straight.
I have that feeling a lot in ticket complexity estimations - something needing to be done in a tonne of places for example doesn't make it complex: it can be trivial and yet tedious, long, and time-consuming.

(Which leads straight back to the worst part of it - why do we pretend complexity is what we want to estimate anyway? We all know it's time the managers at least are interested in. We don't have 'an appetite' for x amount of complexity in a two week period, we have time for a certain amount of stuff. Calling it complexity is just pretending not to be micro-managing time; we should estimate time (and call it that) but have an expectation that the estimates will often be way off and a culture that that's fine.)
I'm also using this and it's fantastic!
Look, it's not offensive, it's amazingly good outreach to young minds, it "worked" but it's also artificial, anthropomorphic and cringe.

Your argument is based mostly based on an engineer perspective, perhaps you could benefit from looking at the product perspective a bit?

Take the ~2M people that are leaving Twitter this week and show them (a) Mastodon, (b) Pleroma with the default FE and (c) Soapbox/Rebased. How do you think the split would go?

Whatever issues are there on Soapbox, they could be fixed if the developers had the proper support, while you can give all the support in the world to Mastodon and we will never have QT.

I’ve heard of Colyseus and it’s good to know that it is a viable solution. I am keen to try out the Haxe library.

I’ve got some loose ideas for some 2D semi-realtime games. No solid ideas yet but I want to experiment.
Another idea is to put a mylar parabolic mirror behind the bombs. A very short burst of light is going to get focused in a beam before the mylar is vapourised. Maybe someone smart here could calculate exactly how short the beam would be.

That short burst could be in itself a significant signature. What, in nature, could produce such a short concentrated energy burst?
The crazy thing that brings hidden complexity is the waterfall model. “We have that thing that get fed to this one”. Ok, how do you report errors, in the upstream system? The downstream one? Do you have parameters with the downstream process? Now you need the user to understand how they influence the output.

My point being that when you put an arrow on a white board you absolutely and immediately have to be skeptical and assume that some data will have to move against the arrow, and that will drag some hidden complexity. Stuff like very far downstream passes in compilers will need the source file line numbers and some inversion system because they might need to report errors or emit debug symbols, and that can be complicated because the code might be unrecognizable at that point.
In the VC industry too, a lot of alpha is diluted by non-carry gatekeepers.
Yeah, how dare someone volunteer to solve a problem!
