The featureset of Freenode, compared to the featureset of Twitter, the company is a couple of orders of magnitude off.
nah, people did say that. there was a lot of hyperbole. what's important is whether there were folks who who said all those things, and as to whether they were worth paying attention to their opinion in the first place.

Replace basic with Lua and read your line back. Just because a language is simple doesn't mean it can't have industrial purposes by whatever gauge you measure things. Theres a bunch of things I wouldn't use basic for just the same with C# and "popular-language-here".

Probably the most used programming language is VBA or maybe the Excel macro if you consider that a language.
He said reprobates and racists. Only you took that to mean 'republican'.

Interesting that.
Unfortunately there are no volunteers with Macs forthcoming. Even the far more established darktable project is looking for a new provider for Mac builds.
But the whole point of "I, Robot" is that the three laws are incomplete and insufficient! That's literally the whole point of the book.
> When someone calls essentially half the population as "reprobates" and "racists",

Half the population wasn't banned from Twitter before Musk bought it.

Half the population doesn't consist of people like Andrew Tate and Donald Trump, and Andrew Anglin (Shout out to him and his boys at the Daily Stormer for getting their megaphone back), and Alex Jones (Although that last one's still banned.) Why do you think that it does?
> Conversion Therapy has been banned and attempted to be banned by many states in particular in public schools.

Conversion therapy is abuse.

> Gov. Newsom banned remedial classes being taught at community colleges.

You need to be more specific. Do you have a source?
If Twitter has issues it’s because Musk is a foolish billionaire who fired too many people. If it doesn’t have issues then it’s just a testament to the brilliant engineers before his tenure. In other words he can’t win. I expect Twitter will have it’s wins and losses (both technical and fiscal) over the next months but I expect that “knowledgeable” folk will continue to have the same conversation each time there is a loss.

Huh! TIL.
To be fair, it's not like their messaging has been all that clear.

I've still no idea if/how my bots will be on Twitter in 4 days time. What does "a single authenticated user token" mean? One access token only per app? That'd be a bit of a bugger since my bots all share one app and I can't register any new ones because I'm not on the v2 API.
"My Rig" is doing a lot of work (almost the entirety of the photos are not turntable/rx-8) and "my phone" (possibly hidden in one picture) is doing nothing (used as a computer.. even though there's at least two others pictured and that gear's worth a mint). Maybe it's just this subject. Why not link to the artist's socials like some of the other interviews? Where's the analytical part?

I use GWT at work daily. Though we don't use GWT RPC at all and just have normal http endpoints returning JSON on the server, so I wouldn't describe it as tightly coupled to the RPC system.

It was announcement Intels first 64 bit processor Itanium. It was going to destroy all the existing 64 bit processors: alpha, sparc etc that had the market cornered (and even MS Windows was ported to most them).

In the end Itanium was late and bad project but competition had already folded. Except for amd that had no existing 64 bit cpu and created AMD64 extension to x86.
Intel grudlingly got on board but called their clone of AMD64 "IA-32e" architecure in thei marketikg material. The name was later changed to x86-64, only after what I assume when Itanium was internally acknowledged as failure.
Games and game engines are two very different products.
The "lightweight" category is also apparently much better at resisting side channel attacks and is also much easier to do cryptanalysis on.

It's not always clear in what ways the non-"lightweight" categories are better other than having bigger keys and state.
I have only one advice which I am successfully following for years since Android 2 stopped being a thing. Just have no smartphone!

If you need an app then you might need a web-browser.

OK, sometimes you really need an app, then you might to not need their service at all.

OK, OK, sometimes you not only need an app but have no choice to replace the need. Then just borrow a smartphone from friends or ask them to help you.

I am going to do anything and everything to NOT have a smartphone at all because having a smartphone and not using is very similar to having a little bit of cocaine and not consuming it - well, if you know at least anything about drugs this is too unrealistic.
how can one possibly tweet more than 2400 times a day? Surely this cutoff was chosen because people do but...how do you even live your life outside twitter at that point? Bots I guess?
As designed, the system allows an opt-out _either_ by setting GOTELEMETRY=off in your environment or by running 'go env -w GOTELEMETRY=off' which writes a config file. (Specifically the one reported by 'go env GOENV'.) If you prefer to edit the config file directly, you are of course welcome to do that.
> To put a name to this organization, it is called the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).

No, NED is a completely unrelated organization. The 501c3 that runs Radio Free Europe is RFE/RL, Inc. (the name conbining the abbreviations for Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty.)

> Radio Free Europe/Asia/etc." is a common offering of theirs

No, Radio Free Asia is a separate 501c3, which is, like RFE/RL, funded by the Broadcasting Board of Governors through the U.S. Agency for Global Media; NED isn’t connected to it.
Not always. Traditional cultures often lit fires yearly, while non human causes wouldn't be as frequent.
I think that the first mistake people take when they read an article like this is that they immediately jump the gun and move from correlation to supposed causation.

Men who do work full-time, and who do get a higher education, may excel in other ways too. E.g. men who put in the effort to work a steady job probably are more likely to put in the effort to stay in shape than men who don't care to work. Or, another example, men who pursue a higher education often have to sacrifice things for it, and this perseverence/dedication points to a type of character that potentially could attract a mate. It demonstrates that a man is capable of putting in the work, and making a commitment.

I think instinct, consciously or not, impacts a lot of the choices people make, not only in dating but for life in general. Observing people on the street, for instance, our instinct is telling us a lot more than what we consciously see. There are prejudices we all form, subtle behavioral queues we subconsciously pick up on, and social assumptions we make without even knowing it, that all helps form the way we think of each and every person we know.

Working a steady job, pursuing a higher education. These are the observable qualities of likely dedicated, hard-working, virtuous men. Virtue, work ethic, and dedication are not generically measurable. But these qualities tend to make men successful, and successful men generally hold steady jobs and pursue higher education. Women want a successful man. I don't know any woman who wants to marry a loser. Why would she?

As a user (soon to be paid, life keeps getting in the way and I keep forgetting), I highly recommend Photostructure over Photoprism.

I don’t have my notes here, so I can’t elaborate much why. But the gist from my memory is that photoprism has a lot of features, and naturally no single user is gonna needs all of those. But the installation is quite a bit more painful, and it is slower as a result. I recalled it building tensorflow on my freebsd machine when installing (which failed, due to bazel failing to build, due to them hardcoding an url download of a library which recently got updated and the link doesn’t work, you get the idea).
In the US and most of europe it did happen, no matter how much you say no with your hands over your eyes.

Schools, Restaurants, department stores, and just about anything that wasnt a pharmacy, grocery store, or gas station was forced closed. Borders with countries allies and foes alike were closed. In some 1st world countries like Germany this went on for MORE than a year.

Then you had a partial shutdown of the economy with vaccine requirements that shut out the economy for millions who did not have the vaccine yet or had no plans to get the vaccine.

You supported this. I will bring it up to you again, and again, and again because what you supported was wrong.

I will not stop telling the people that you and whoever supported these horrible measures are part of the reason we are in the situation. No matter how much you say No No No. You are partly responsible.
Just because Linux is open source doesn't mean you can't have both Fedora and Red Hat (an enterprise version built on the same codebase)

I don't think any closed source goes into Red Hat, it's just the patch delivery pipelines, package repositories, etc that require a license. And support of course.

Same with any distributed system whose core contributors could gain insight from telemetry. All the components are open source, but they can package it all up and make it available under different terms.

If there's a community version and an enterprise version, you can then make telemetry required in the community version. If people don't like it, they can pull the package apart and put it back together however they want, or they can pay for an enterprise license.
FTC

https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/advertising-...

Counter-example:

> What can my company do if a competitor is running an ad that I think is deceptive?

> Explore your legal options under federal and state statutes that protect businesses from unfair competition. For example, the Lanham Act gives companies the right to sue their competitors for making deceptive claims in ads.

> Are advertising agencies subject to the FTC Act?

> Yes. In addition to the advertiser, the advertising agency also may be held legally responsible for misleading claims in ads. Advertising agencies have a duty to make an independent check on the information used to substantiate ad claims. They may not rely on an advertiser's assurance that the claims are substantiated.

I don't see anything about false advertising requiring a sale.
> Some of us see systemic and bigger problems and point those out.

Consider whether this is more useful than saying “you know, you should probably find more time to go to the gym”. Anyone writing C code has heard this by now, and repetition probably isn’t going to help.

What could work is what we have seen successfully with Firefox, Linux, Chrome, Android, etc. where people didn’t demand a massive rewrite but instead showed up to work and picked something small where benefits could be seen quickly. Rust has excellent interoperability so you can do that well but you might run into challenges on projects like OpenSSH which have been ported to all kinds of obscure platforms.

(And, to be clear, I like Rust. It’s just I also understand open source maintainer burnout having had plenty of people suggest huge changes they thought were super important but still not enough that they personally wanted to help.)
Actually is more a recommendation of not pursuing novelty for the sake of having novelty in life.

Show HN: Open-source Ecommerce platform built with Node.js and React(beta)
Hi guys, I've open-sourced the ecommerce project I build for my business. I've spent a lot of time on choosing the right libraries and decided to go with NodeJs and React. I'm sharing the project with you, and hope it will give you some ideas so you can build your ecommerce project faster.

I ran entire kitchens of high volume restaurants...sometimes single handedly. I loved it. I wasn't happy unless I was getting crushed. Some of my best memories are from working mothersday and getting absolutely blitzed. Compared to being a developer, I wish every god damned day I could be back in a kitchen. But the pay is absolute shite.
I'm looking for a package that can automatically detect events, using ML or otherwise, grouping photos by proximity in time (and gaps in time between events), location, and image contents themselves. It's not an easy problem and I haven't found an open source package that does it
I'm using photosync with photoprisim and it works fine to autosync photos off, with the only caveat being that i'll occasionally close the app and it won't run for a few days/weeks.

Not as seamless as iCloud Photos but it works great.

I really like biginteger rational types when working with typical non-scientific non-integer problems, like classical accounting. Everything continues to work without a hitch when somebody decides they need to support a tenth of a cent (gas stations), they need to support a tax like a third of a percent, they need to seamlessly mix with smaller units like satoshis, ....

It's a solution that never fails (by hypothesis, you aren't working with sin or pi or gamma or some shit), and for every practical input the denominator stays small enough that it fits nicely into machine registers. You have the bigint fallback for the edge cases, in case they're needed.

Floats IMO are only suitable when you're actually okay with approximate results (perhaps including known convergence properties so that you can reify an ostensibly floating point result into more exact values).
I had the same experience.

Pro: Meilisearch search speed and memory use was great compared to others (at the cost of large storage requirements but that's the cheapest thing to upgrade).

Con: Indexing documents (even with recommended batch sizes) was extremely intensive on the system as the document count increased (upwards of 20 million docs to index).

I had to modify the indexing script to completely pause indexing when system load average went too high to prevent the whole server crashing.

Also, this 1.0 upgrade apparently requires a full export and import of data if you're upgrading from the previous release? I hope this isn't the case for >= v1.0 releases because I'm not looking forward to exporting/reimporting 200+GB of Meilisearch data files over and over again.
Is there strong evidence that widespread adversity like a recession increases mental illness? I would guess that those kinds of factors that affect everyone in your social group have a less negative effect mental health wise, as everyone around you is going through the same thing.

At least with measurable indicators of mental health crises like suicide rates, groups that are worst off by most socioeconomic measures tend to have lower suicide rates. For example, the black suicide rate in the US is less than half the white suicide rate and have been through Jim Crow laws and generally much lower SES. From what I've seen, the same is true when comparing across countries, with suicide rates being positively correlated with GDP and income.
The vaccines do the same thing. They are a large population forcing function for viral mutation.

Hi everyone!
I’m one of the founders of Bytient. My team and I have been working on a B2B data platform leveraging forensic intelligence and predictive analytics for a while. In the process, we compiled insights from countless sales calls, books, and expert recommendations.

And now we just launched a free 10-day email course - no strings attached. We will be charging $37 for access at some point in the future, but I just wanted to share this with the community while it is still free: https://bytient.com/masterful-selling/

Please let me know any feedback. We just wanted to give away this knowledge, which we are applying to our sales staff as well.

Thank you for your time!

I wouldn't call it pedantic. Addiction is just the wrong word, because health issues related to habitual porn usage is not always a kind of addiction, and what most people seem to think constitutes addiction is completely off. No doubt there are health issues that can happen with habitual porn use, but that's mostly not even specific to porn.

A much bigger issue is the misunderstanding that people seem to have with what constitutes an addiction. Having a routine is not an addiction. Having hobbies, even if they are crude or not socially acceptable, is not an addiction. If it's not really negatively impacting your life and it's under control, you are fine.

I have a feeling depending on what circles you are adjacent to will impact your opinions on which misconception is worse, but there has got to be roughly no people who truly believe you couldn't have an unhealthy obsession with porn. That's ridiculous.

The Java frameworks are "modern". They're common to use in new projects, and the Javascript frameworks often mimic them.

That said, I'd honestly start by ignoring the common frameworks and just use something like Jetty embedded to create some API endpoints.

There's a lot of learning required for the common frameworks like Spring Boot. Browse the documentation and you'll see there's a lot there. Plus, they tend to be a debugging challenge for new people due to use of reflection and the like.
> I hope future alien historians laugh at how wildly incompetent our governments were at dealing with corporate entities.

Future historians will understand, I suspect, as do many modern ones (and political scientists, etc.) that governments are creations of the ruling classes to potect their interests, and corporations (in turn, a creation of governments) serve to advance that purpose, and it is by choice and design (both immediate and structural), not incompetence, that governments do not constrain them in their pursuit of that goal, even when they try to convince the non-ruling classes that they are attempting to do so.
Or you could take a step back and rationally access the situation as Musk's ego causing him to be locked into a doomed to fail deal, and his desperate attempts to turn Twitter around failing spectacularly as he almost immediately alienated advertisers.

Instead we have a false dichotomy and more Musk cult of personality.

I don't know why an OS or piece of software would look up an address without going to it. However, there's no reason to speculate about why. I just want to know whether it connected to those addresses or not, and the article/video made it impossible for me to know that definitively. The author(s) omitted presenting actual evidence and for some reason showed something tangential. I don't need to justify my questioning of that unusual presentational choice.

I'm not going to make assumptions about "the software MUST have connected because the domain name was looked up". It's not my job to connect the dots: it's the job of the person making the assertion to actually substantiate the assertion, otherwise their assertion will be ignored by people like me who actually expect such substantiation.

No, I have no information that the author is lying, and I didn't even begin to suggest as such. I have pointed out the absence of substantiation, which is an observation of fact.

yes because the set of possible inputs for A -> C is basically infinite. But min(A,B)=C is only 2^64^2. Why shouldn't you test for string, object, object of object, object with a certain kind of shape, or Number class as opposed to number primitive? How can you know it will or won't work from a unit test perspective?
