I appreciate your candor sir, though I assure you I speak of the very foundation of a “righteous rule of law.”

One which serves to protect the innocent from violation by will or neglect.

That (along with “principled upon Truth”) might be the definition of “the spirit of law.”

Or a “right of lawful recourse” to respond to such trespasses.

All of this only comes by a destructive interference upon one persons (or embodiment before law) by another.

The perhaps cringey bare minimal trifling koan is the truest of rights of an individual (or collective) of any kind.

And I by no means think modern man has gotten this completely right.

You see, the state is your encompassing domain, and domains are like onions. While each layer may make you cry, each is a concession or social contract which obligates you to the inconvenience of the state’s necessities (like “public well being.”)

Not being interfered with is a built in right of our America domain, however compromised by the complexity of our modern relationships with state and each other.

It is. It literally is.

Whenever gmail, thunderbird or office365 outlook notices a working unsubscribe link in a message, it puts its own unsubscribe link at the top of the message, right next to the address of the sender's email.

I’m sure you mean the content of the email, but we dont reach out to double opt-in users or transactional emails with an unsubscribe link, since you chose to be there.

The unsubscribe link lives near the bottom of the email along with the link to support, in clear text in a font and colour that matches the content.
I self-host literally everything (email, calendar/contacts, VOIP, XMPP, you name it) from by basement with used 1U servers from eBay and a cable internet connection.

It was probably more hassle than most people would want to bother with to get it set up. But, with everything up and running, there's very little maintenance. I probably spend a few hours a month tinkering still, just because I enjoy it.

I use a stack of Proxmox VMs, FreeIPA for authn/authz, and Rocky Linux for all servers and workstations. My phone runs GrapheneOS with a Wireguard VPN back to the house. I don't expose anything to the public internet unless absolutely necessary.

I recently anonymized and Ansibilized my entire setup so that others might get some use out of it:

How many companies test their websites in pre-release versions of Chrome or Firefox? Some brave volunteers on the team (even non-developers) could dogfood test Chrome or Firefox Beta (or even Chrome Dev or Firefox Nightly) as their regular browser for day-to-day work. It’s not full test coverage of your website, but they would identify major breaking issues before your end users do. They might find be new browser bugs that Google or Mozilla should fix or breaking web API changes that your website needs to adapt to.
Sure. But this would be a zombie business

It was definitely worse on old hardware, and with the many old and unrefurbished computers that are likely inflicted with capacitor plague, you’re likely to blow something up if you power one up that’s been sitting idle in someone’s basement for the past couple decades.

With modern power management there’s less of a reason to power it off. S3 can power down most peripherals when they aren’t being used and draw just a few watts.

Even when shut down, the PSU still needs to consume power so it can turn on when you press the power button, keep the internal clock running, and a few other things. It’s minimal draw but it’s still using electricity. Only way to completely turn it off is by switching off the PSU (if you can) or unplugging completely.
Ask HN: Kwik Brain or speed reading courses?
I'm asking for a friend. Really. My own personal experience with rapid reading techniques began circa 1983 when an article I'd stumbled upon suggested I use a cursor (mine was a coffee stir stick). I wasn't looking for a speed boost per se, but my speed improved dramatically, and I have not had to use such a cursor in many years. Some people and studies say that speed reading is a fallacy. So, the friend for who I am asking about Kwik Brain is hoping someone can give a thumbs up or down about Kwik Brain or the notion of a speed reading course or system in general.

Sure, I’m just using terms that Gaetano Mosca uses when describing elite theory.

As for litmus test, again sure. But accounting for cultural and biological differences matters. There’s a reason Asians are over represented in certain things due to a culture that values education. Or men tending to distribute differently than women. And many other things. It would be naive to believe any difference in outcomes is purely discriminatory. Although of course that can be a factor.
Seeing how you have to wait for hours even to get an ambulance for a heart attack or stroke in the UK, I wouldn't get my hopes too up.
This is a drawback, but I'm not sure how terrible it is.

If you go off the drug, you regain your weight. If you go off your diet, you also regain the weight. That, then, is a wash.

These drugs currently cost a fortune, so lifelong dependence is an expensive scenario, especially since most insurances refuse to cover them. On the other hand, this is preventative medicine, which might significantly reduce costs from obesity-related health issues down the road, including heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.

Compliance with a weekly injection is also likely to be higher than compliance with a long-term dietary change. Of course, since something like 95-plus percent of diets fail long-term, almost anything would have a higher compliance.

I don't know that we have enough data on long-term use of these drugs to be confident about long-term side effects, either.

I don't love the idea of being dependent on a medicine for the rest of my life, but there are plenty of other lifelong medicines that we just sort of accept as normal now. Insulin-dependent diabetics and people with high blood pressure are just two examples.

I guess for now I'm putting these in my "cautiously optimistic" bucket.

We seem to think ourselves as further removed from meatspace than we really are. We’re a lot more like colonies of ants, I think. What attacks the ant, attacks the colony.
You even have this phenomenon inside single functions. Let's say you write a function that's supposed to be a safe/sound abstraction. You might be setting up a pointer, maybe determined by a dozen lines of codes, that is then finally dereferenced. You'd typically only put the unsafe block around this final pointer access, but its safety depends on the whole calculation being correct.

> This is why no one has successfully done a major game on Rust. The foundations are too weak to support it.

That's patently false. https://veloren.net/

People have made games in it. And in Zig, and C, and C++ and so. And assembly. And machine code. Unsafety isn't a problem it's lack of libs and integration.

If you refer to AAA the issue is lack of engines where Rust is a must. I.e. network effect, you need engines in Rust to make games in Rust. And to make engines in Rust, more games need to require Rust.

Of course apps can just distribute themselves as an extension which is probably the best compromise right now and something most web based password managers for example already offer.

Do it! The question is if you will want to get back to your old type of work. I was out for 3 months and I wanted to vomit seeing my old code afterwards. Couple years later or now I need to plan a job change and I don’t know where to start, because I don’t want to continue as a coding guy.
This starts to open up a whole topic that I though about including but ultimately decided not to: How do we deal with unsafe code in our dependencies? This gets into all sorts of tools like cargo-geiger and blessed.rs and things like that.

Luckily, I think the Python/Java metaphors work well here. Rust apps have to worry about unsafe code in their dependencies, like Python and Java apps have to worry about C code in their dependencies. So hopefully not _too_ much is lost by leaving those questions for another article. Maybe I should add another footnote though.

Hysteria as you call it is just words and punitive policies. When the CCP starts arming Russia or invades Taiwan as it has signaled it will do with increasing volume over the last five years—reunification is a must—those are violent acts that will lay at the feet of China, not the hysteria of the West.

They've already taken a side with a country determined to wipe the identity of tens of millions of people from the earth and do so with tanks, shells and hundreds of thousands of armed men. What is there to defend there? How many tens of thousands of people must be murdered for their soil for China to disavow it's unlimited friendship?

Redux Toolkit is very impressive, especially with TypeScript. I'd agree that there was a lot of boilerplate in the before-times, but today, it's not "marginally less," it's significantly less boilerplate. The debugging tools are top notch as well, I can trace values and their changes pretty easily these days.

The main point of Redux is that it follows functional programming paradigms of immutable data, which makes reasoning about changes much easier. Compare that to the global state everywhere of signals/reactive/observables-based approaches like MobX or RxJS.
I like this kind of game, and this is perfect for a short diversion! This is the best I can muster for now:

Also, the FUD you linked to says the feature MAY be shipped. It hasn't even actually happened.

Go away.
It's much more subtle than that. Countersteering merely nudges the bike a tiny bit, basically throwing it out of balance so it leans into the turn. The reason why it's mentioned as being counterintuitive is that it's even too slight for someone to notice if they're watching you ride. And people who have been riding for a long time may be doing it without realizing what's happening in detail.

In fact I suspect that you also countersteer to ride straight, i.e., making the slight corrections that keep you on a straight course.

As an alternative view though, one of the nice things about Go, or specifically the http part of the stdlib, is that it composes well with libraries and middleware like Chi or Negroni. So rather than having to conform to an all-encompassing web framework, you can assemble just the tools you need for the problem at hand.

Is it like dark matter in cosmology? Except that here, "scientists" observe a social galaxy and note that it's round. According to their beliefs, the galaxy must be rectangular, so they had to postulate an invisible ubiquitous force that makes the galaxy round.

Simple.

The perpetrators are successful and therefore well adjusted, whereas the victims are defective and have to be excluded lest there be "social contagion".

The conclusion is its own justification.

The author uses similar wording a couple times and it is a little ambiguous? Does "does not have" mean a superpolynomial quantum lower bound has been discovered for this algorithm (or is there a reduction to some other important conjectured complexity theorem)? Or is it just that a polynomial algorithm has not been discovered yet?

I’ve been curious how long you can get away with not paying your AWS bill before they start shutting your stuff off. Obviously it matters how big a customer you are, and I imagine AWS will put up with quite a bit in the hopes of having that contract honored before burning that bridge entirely.

What kinds of knobs does AWS have, I wonder? Not allowing new resources to get allocated? Eventually start draining existing resources? I imagine for stateful stuff like DB tables and EBS volumes they might keep them around but inaccessible to Twitter until they pay their bill.

Conventional wisdom says sans-serifs fonts are more legible than serif fonts for body text on screens. I have difficulty reading long blocks of et-book on any screen, whether it's in a browser or other application. I prefer Palatino for body text, if a design really insists on having serifs for screen. For print, although either et-book or the Bembo typeface that inspired work fine.

The rest of the design guidance, the margin notes, the figures, are great but tend to degrade poorly on smaller device screens.

Hey everyone,

I've got a really great website that I'm building from scratch called Slower News (slowernews.net), all based around reducing the day to day stress of news into a once-a-week roundup of news.

Each week you get an email with 3 news stories that have been big in the news across the week in the world. Imagine all the weeks news condensed down into 3, important stories and published in a minimalist website/ email.

I write each article and try to remain impartial at all times. The newsletter is released on a Friday evening/Saturday morning depending where you are in the world, and people have the option to subscribe to the newsletter for free and get it sent to their inbox.

This is a completely new site, and it's only been running for a few weeks so any feedback from anyone on how they think it looks, any suggestions etc would be appreciated! And if you want to sign up to the newsletter, please do so!

Go check it out and let me know what you think! -> slowernews.net
