A big part is that science has become very “sanitized”. Work on the wrong issues and you won’t get funding or will even get ridiculed out of a career.

It’s not even just going against headline consensus issues that will get you in trouble. Any findings that overturn what a large group of scientists have spent their careers working on won’t be well received.
This is brilliant, and needed.

Do you see opportunity in quantum computing given the more direct access to indeterminate state?

I moved from LR Classic to Capture One because I was getting fed up with Adobe's business practices. I'm much happier with C1, even more after I switched from Nikon to Fujifilm and RAW processing for Fuji X-Trans was so much better on C1.

I used to be a customer for the LR + PS bundle, got grandfathered when they turned LR into LR Classic but then Adobe tried to force me to upgrade to a more expensive plan multiple times, I stopped using Adobe completely and get all my photo editing needs from C1 + Affinity Photo. It's been a bliss to be away from Adobe.
For now we're on EVM's, yes (Ethereum but also it's Layers 2s and sidechains)

But we really want to deploy on all sorts of chains and offer very very simple UX for users. No one should have to care about bridging between chains or swapping or what currency they are getting paid in. If crypto is to get mass adoption, stuff should be dead simple.

Rest of the stack:
- postgres DB
- Flask Backend
- Alpine JS / TailwindCSS / HTMX / ethersjs / web3modal on Frontend
(and then obviously the decentralized smart contracts)

no, its because about 1000 people wanted to learn a new language instead of fixing bugs in the present code.

look, dont get me wrong, rust is grand. however blindly re-creating everything in rust, and leaving everything else to rot isn't the answer.
I don't think it's uncommon to have this experience around forced classical music lessons. I did a really serious conservatory prep program as a child, "strongly encouraged" by my parents. This included formal theory classes, lessons, seminars, competitions, and a lot of recitals.

That environment was horribly discouraging and, in retrospect, weirdly competitive. I dropped the piano for 5 years almost completely. Still, like a lot of my friends from that program, I came back to piano as a hobby, and I really appreciate the education I got.

I also think it made me a better person in a lot of ways.

Context is important in theory, but it certainly didn’t stop dijit from deciding that (((disfigured feet))), which they did not quote, was “pretty disgusting”.

In this climate, it takes one Twitter personality with a lot of followers to tweet out a “look at this racist” tweet with very vague references to your crimes, and that’s it, you’re a racist to a huge number of people who will probably never look beyond that single tweet. Good luck convincing 20% of them that you’re in fact innocent afterwards.

Edit: Years ago when I was part of a high profile open source project, I was once privately accused of being intolerant towards trans people. It happened after I sharply criticized some trans person's backwards-incompatible PR (which later proved to be pretty bad after being merged despite objections). I had no idea of the person's gender before the accusation, nor did I care after learning about it; they were simply an Internet handle to me. I also never used slurs towards any group. Looking back I'm just glad I wasn't shamed publicly.
Assuming you can disable this crash reporting, what's the point? These endpoints aren't being called by Javascript bugs or error messages, but bg actual browser crashes.

If these settings can't be turned off then I'd definitely assume the feature flag reporting and the CSP reporting are used for tracking on some platforms, on which AdNauseam would then have merit.

EDIT: CSP reports are blocked by uBlock Origin by default but it appears there are no browser settings to control this behaviour. I expected Chrome to screw users over like this, but I'm disappointed in Firefox that there's no "advanced privacy options" screen where I can control this behaviour.

So this is where I don't know what to think - I'm overseas and don't exactly have my finger on the pulse of alt-right culture. I only knew it after it was co-opted by Nick Fuentes and his circle so I don't know if it was:

1. 4chan tries to say it means "White Power"

2. the news pick this up and runs with it

3. actual white nationalists started using it

or

1. 4chan tries to say it means "White Power"

2. actual white nationalists started using it

3. the news reports that white nationalists are using it

News orgs can be easily fooled into reporting ridiculous fake shit and backfiring - like the whole "teens eating tide pods" thing causing a few teens and boomers to actually try eating them - so both are possible, I'd suspect that the latter is more likely though.
Yes... You can technically spin up a RHEL5 VM and compile your code using GCC 4.2.1. That's what I think the Python community still does for manylinux1. The problem with that is GCC got so much better in the last fifteen years, that you might as well be programming with one hand. We shouldn't need to do that. There's nothing wrong with modern GCC 9+ which can produce backwards compatible binaries just fine. The problem is the policy decisions made by the Glibc developers. So if you can avoid Glibc and dynamic linking, then distributing to many distros and operating systems while using modern tools becomes easy.
> The first astronomers and calendarians were women

You state it as if it were a fact.
Thank you for this comment. I myself began to doubt whether any of the DSSes were real after reading the article, and your comment has assured me that they are. Additionally, those asides about the researcher's hobbies are indeed a trope of modern science documentaries, written by people who likely think that science isn't interesting enough on its own.

Here is where I expressed my confusion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34253597

Also, you say parchment; should it not be papyrus? Parchment doesn't get cracked.
I guess my point is that for 90%+ of software companies, you can very easily reverse engineer the software or just rewrite it from scratch.

If I were given $50 million to build a Slack competitor, even if I had Slack's source code I can't imagine it would be that helpful. More than likely it would be easier to rewrite and re-architect in order to not inherit all of the technical debt of very old software.

Not to mention in most cases, access to the source code doesn't mean you can easily recreate the AWS / Google Cloud / Azure environments necessary to run the source code reliably with scalability.

Edit: There are obvious exceptions to this, but most apps these days don't require a whole lot of proprietary algorithms that can't be easily cloned without source code access.
n: There are also black artists tagged that way who seem to very rarely depict people at all. And both the white and 1+ of the n-tagged black artists depicted some non-black people.

Rimworld: It was whites only at first, black only got added later and then integrated.
Offtopic, but, I made the mistake of trying to read this on my mobile phone this morning, where I don't use adblockers per se. Served at least 6 ads, even ignoring the nonsense at the bottom of the page. So annoying and disruptive that I didn't manage to read the story, and will find the details somewhere else.

We really needed a reaction against this nonsense which wasn't just adblockers.

Bummer.

I don’t know, I still have questions. I was told exactly this in 2002 by my Southern good ol boy social studies teacher.

According to him, it was a sign that KKK members in his town used to signal group membership to one another. In his telling the three extended fingers meant KKK, and they would tuck the thumb and index finger in their belt or waistband.

Either he was making it up then and it’s a complete coincidence his story matches the 4chan story 15 years later, which is also made up; or there’s a kernel of truth to it, and this guy was letting us in on some weird aspect of racist subculture that made its way to the mainstream in 2017. These people had so many other weird customs (like calling themselves wizards and dragons), I don’t see why secret hand signals are out of the question.

Yes.

As long as your k8s is some self contained island of code needing no R/W access to resources on k8s, maybe I'll believe it's easy to setup AND to support. Additionally if you are in some type of small shop environment where you have basically unfettered permissions in AWS console to do what you need, doubly so.

Now try to get access to/from RDS, S3, EFS, Netapp NFS, some HTTP endpoint on-prem, some other HTTP endpoint on EC2, non-MSK Kafka, cross account, etc? Pain.

Oh you need to submit a ticket to your Linux sysadmins, Infra team, CloudOps, DevOps, Networking or Infosec for each of the above permissions? And sometimes need 2-3 of those teams to coordinate to make it happen? Death.

It also helps to use the default resolution to avoid supersampling/anti-aliasing effects.
Interesting. Maybe I was fooled by some deliberate outrage machine. I only read about the "white only" mod. Not the other two. Talk about cherry-picking...

The silver lining of this bullshit is that this again underscores how important critical thinking is.
GitHub can ban your account if you violated their TOS, but I don't think they can/will ban the repo if one of the contributor might be questionable, you can fake commit history anyway. Perhaps they may ask the contributors to change git history if the contributor for a commit is really freaking them out for some reason? I have no idea.
Testing is a separate concern than supply chain security. Testing should also never require any secrets useful to an adversary, so third party hosted CI is low risk here.
On your light anecdote: magenta and pink do not exist as physical photons in reality.
> Looking at the Reddit thread about this, there was some arguably racist stuff going on in his repo

That may or may have been warranted but these days "some arguably racist stuff" is a too vague description to be meaningful to act on, or pass judgement by on its own.

Do you have the link to the relevant reddit-thread for better context?
I’d say both are likely ;)

But it’s telling that the ADL at first refused to add it to their list of hate-signs, and then (according to wikipedia, after all I only heard of all this today) reversed their stance 2 years later. And almost all usage of the sign getting someone into trouble have also been 2019+ (again, from the wiki list).
Because managers read about k8s and then mandate it for much more complex apps than "a self contained CRUD website / dockerized 3 microservices behind a load balancer"

Show HN: NYT Spelling Bee Year in Review
Hey!

As a super-fan of the NYT Spelling Bee, I'm excited to share this year's "Year In Review," an in-depth analysis of the words and trends we saw throughout the year.

If you're also a fan of the Spelling Bee, or just want to check out Hex, the tool used for the analysis and data viz, it's worth a look.

Hope y'all enjoy.

I’m not sure it filters out kook theories, given the replication crisis.

Rather, journals promote well-connected kooks at the expense of less well-connected kooks and happen to occasionally publish some science as a byproduct.
It is in the "Negative prompt", so they really don't want disfigured feet.
1080p content is 1920x1080. 4K content is 3840x2160. You just literally double-up the pixel size in each dimension; there's no need for interpolation or anything else that will cause blurring.

I've been working on an FPGA project that involves 1080p into a 4K monitor over HDMI and it looks very sharp to me, even on high contrast edges with a pretty critical eye.
First I'd heard of it. I have wanted a tool like this for a while.

That doesn't need to be the case. Men of a patriarchy simply might decide to have female hunters, it might even be absolutely necessary under particular environmental pressures.

To claim that not a single small tribal community has had female hunter(s) throughout history is frankly moronic.

edit: ok so digit is one of the people further down the thread, I'm not good with names

edit2: To respond to your edit, that sucks and I sympathise. I think this is an unfortunate side effect of the fact that when you're on the internet you're now exposed to thousands of different people who don't already know what kind of person you are, who misread and misinterpret remarks or who might have just had a shitty day and want to take it out on someone. Hell I'm one of those left-liberal, pro-lgbtq+, pro-feminist guys and I've had experience like yours very recently. I'd replied to a comment on FB where someone complained that some public works project cost X million euros, and said that non-engineers like us don't tend to have a good idea what such projects should cost - got a very angry reply along the lines of "Oh just because I'm a girl I get scared around big numbers? Girls can't do maths or engineering? ...". I had no idea what their gender was, the name was "Alex" and their profile pic was some anime or something :) It happens, it's frustrating and somewhere in my city there's a girl called Alex who either thinks I'm some misogyny bro or feels a bit silly for flying off the handle at me. It's the internet, [shrug] what can you do :)

Well you say obviously, but people in this thread are complaining about how Adobe is ripping off artists which doesn't seem particularly relevant to the issue of acceptable data consent practises.

I agree it should be opt-out by default (and believe this is a violation of GDPR if it applies in the EU), but they are allowing you to opt-out and they are explaining how they'll use the data so this seems like a relatively minor issue to me honestly. Because yes, unless you're extremely naive your assumption should always be that every time your data is sent to a server or put on some cloud that it will be used in ways that you didn't consent to and potentially even disapprove of. Obviously I don't agree with that, but I'm sure there are companies doing exactly this without giving you an opt-out and without even telling you they're doing it.
Pretty sure even just the folks at MANGA alone that use Rust outnumber the 1,000 figure by this point.

Anyways, most bugs actually result from changes in code, so it makes sense to focus future improvements on a more robust greenfield codebase. You can fix bugs in C++, but if you want to prevent them from being introduced, you are going to need a bigger hammer.
You must be from a country like Germany my friend, because the comma is part of the number. It actually reads ~330000 microseconds. I really should switch to using an apostrophe instead.
So, to be honest, I used to think this too, until I got an old crt television so I can play my old console games properly[0]. It sits next to my normal tv, and so me and my fiance can play splatoon together side by side on screens I hooked up an hdmi to rca converter to it and my switch dock. The loss of resolution makes it hard to read the text, even though the screens are relatively the same size. May be in 1995, I never thought I really needed that much more resolution, but a 1K screen does fit in more details, some of them important like text, into a screen in a manner that I appreciate once I've seen it in a game.

I do think high frequency rate monitors are a gimmick, but I did read somewhere (lost the link) that scientists do think the human ability to see resolution isn't really physically restricted beyond just the limits with one's own eyes. So, don't knock it I guess and claim 640K ought to be enough for anybody just yet.

[0] it is an "in" thing to play "retro games" now, although generally some older games do just look better on a crt over blocky pixellated hdmi converters.
I browse Reddit a lot as well, but not exactly funny or meme subs (mainly books, TV, programming, game and recipe subs), so I very rarely encounter such links.
Need to call this bullshit by its name: Microsoft killing their competition. They had just released their own version of stable diffusion in bing a moment ago and now they ban the biggest competition from GitHub.

I don't believe they didn't know what they are doing. They definitely have statistics about repo usage and the guy suspending him definitely knew that it's one of the most popular repos out there.

Microsoft don't deserve the benefit of doubt here. This is a warning to anyone who competes with Microsoft in an open source project. Move elsewhere.
even hypothetically this is only partially possible. for sure what you talk about would be something that is purely an abstract / logical problem, because if something we effectively "can't think" originates somehow in the real world, we would be able to observe it and realize that we can't reason about it.

and even when we have exhausted everything there is to know in the universe and solved every type of problem, we still can't be sure that there isn't a magic gap that we can't see using our intelligence.

but this is completely a god of the gaps argument, i.e. a religious argument, and thus not worth considering until we get actual evidence of such a thing.
