Off the top of my head: the word "gimped" is similar in meaning to "handicapped", and if someone "is a gimp", then that could be considered similar to saying someone "is a cripple". Although I have no clue what any of that has to do with Krita.
Yeah, for some reason govt agencies in particular always pick weird things to warn people about. Security advice from the government is also questionable since they spy too.
Rule of thumb: when you see the phrase "free and open source software" (FOSS), the word "free" in that phrase refers to freedom, not price.
Yeah all Mormons have whiplash from changing doctrines, rules, and guidelines that change throughout their life.

I was raised during the "Hinckley" reign. So Mormon was a term of endearment during the time and embraced.

Things like the caffeine that is being talked about elsewhere on this thread is similar. When I grew up it was frowned upon, but now its acceptable.

The temple covenants and rituals have changed many times throughout my life. I don't attend anymore, but I heard that they just changed it again within the past month or so.
> Most Mormons I’ve met are so wholesome and kind that I think they would legitimately choose to work in the FBI or IC to make the world a better place.

Yes, they would, and very often they'd be so convinced of their righteousness that they’d use their power as government agents to run over anything that thet saw as standing in the way of their vision of a better place.

If you look at the history of abuses by the FBI, almost none of them were venal and corrupt, they mostly were just putting a vision of a path to a better world ahead of things like due process.

This is exactly the kind of thing motivating the saying “The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. ”
What motivated the company to make this change? They clearly marketed/designed it with romantic features, and now want those to be gone.

Does the company profit in some way by this change? Were they afraid of regulation or bad press?
Vercel is the second company to “eat the cloud from outside in”. (https://www.swyx.io/cloudflare-go)

its now my defacto playbook for building lasting bottom up disruptive cloud companies. start by giving away an extremely good free tier (cloudflare - cdn, vercel - nextjs+hosting) then add build time compute, run time compute, readonly kv store, and now full read write storage.

(this is part of an overall cloud progression that i've been studying for a couple years https://twitter.com/swyx/status/1417136897894326277)

many other platforms try to start off offering everything under the sun, claiming to care about the holistic end to end experience. vercel bet correctly on one wedge, built it up over years, and only now is expanding into storage. well earned.
> There is certainly a significant number of people who just want to keep their money safe. They would happily pay 50 or 100 USD per month for an actual bank service where your money is just stored and not lend out to someone else.

Realistically, who would these people be?

$50-$100/mo is quite a substantial amount for just a banking fee, so it would have to be people rich enough that it's not a showstopper. But people that rich have no problem moving their money to investment accounts where they can do much better on return, so they wouldn't be customers of this.
I've been working on django-simple-deploy, a platform-agnostic tool for automating initial Django deployments. It has preliminary support for three platforms: Platform.sh, Fly.io, and Heroku.

I sprinted on it at PyCon, and it was good to have a bunch of new eyes on the project and the codebase. I'm hoping to get it close to 1.0 this summer. Most of the work to get there involves making sure it supports all platforms on Windows, and deployments are stable and reliable across all three platforms.

You obviously didn't read anything in the link I posted.

> Its obvious to anyone with a brain that peer-to-peer is the way forward with game streaming because it solves the latency problems.

How would this work exactly?
In the UK every bigger grocery store has a bin for old batteries, disposing batteries is trivial.
These are good points, but political solutions (by which I mean political changes within the system) are almost certainly never going to happen. More unrealistic than a technological solution addressing this, even.

Instead, social/cultural solutions might be the key. If only a few people use these mass surveillance avoiding tools, then yes, they become targets. But if almost everyone uses them and they become ubiquitous, the landscape changes some.
> I didn't understand how they worked - I just followed the instructions

Indeed, Heath's instructions took a paint-by-numbers approach that did not offer analysis or explanation, so I have to disagree with hypertexthero that more than very basic theory was communicated. As for circuitry explanation, I found out the hard way on one occasion that I hadn't soldered a transistor properly, but there were no instructions on how to test for such a problem within the same "anyone can do this on a kitchen table" kit, so I mailed the board to Heath and they sent it back in working order for a small fee and postage. It is nevertheless a fond memory.

The design-gineer role: would you consider someone who started their career in design, works closely with designers, but has been predominately a full-stack developer for a decade?

I wouldn’t refer to myself as a designer today, but it’s in my roots, interests, and I still love to be involved in it. I’ve built a few basic visual simulators and editors, and it’s kind of my happy place; right between the heavy lifting of abstracting complex logic and the art and science making it look, perform, and feel great. If that’s anything like what the role entails, I’d love to chat.
> by the 90s Asians and Indians were over represented

That's evidence of US tech industry's massive racism factor: that our endemic Black and Latino populations (40%) are underrepresented while this clear minority of Asian Americans (6%) are elevated?
I don't think the church cares about blending with evangelicals, more that they don't want entities that consider themselves adversarial to the church controlling the image the church projects.

Evangelicals consistently consider the LDS/Mormon faith a danger to their version of Christianity- and therefore seek to label it unchristian to poison the well.

Allowing that counter-messaging to percolate by not embracing their actual name that starts "Church of Jesus Christ," (at the very beginnings was called "Church of Christ," though as you can imagine that led to differentiation issues.[0]) became problematic as the "Mormons aren't Christian" messaging became more and more emphatic from its rivals.

> this website makes a comprehensive case for deflationary money

After the switch to burn a portion of funds on every transaction as well as the switch from proof of work, to proof of stake, Ethereum is now deflationary [0].

Say what you will about the cryptocurrency experiment, it will be fascinating to watch the effect of this over time.

See origin story here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/07/18/anti-straw-mo...

I believe people picked up on this 9 year old’s proposition as a symbol for needless waste that stays around forever in large quantities. There are many simultaneous efforts to reduce plastic going on: some are trying alternative methods for producing it (bio plastics), some encourage the use of alternative materials (eg bamboo plates), others ban it outright (plastic bags in SF), and try to not have it offered by default (the origins of the straw bans).

I don’t see the flaw in doing all of the above simultaneously. The problem is real and obvious, and given how embedded plastic is in our lives, we need an “all of the above” approach to change.
How many of us are in the boat where we have thousands of hours on adobe products to unlearn in order to be able to use GIMP without pulling our hair out?
“you can never have a safe emotional interaction with a thing or a person that is controlled by someone else, who isn’t accountable to you and who can destroy parts of your life by simply choosing to stop providing what it’s intentionally made you dependent on.”

Most human relationships arent evil, but it seems like the same people that would ‘fall’ for the AI in this way could be abused by a person. I guess sociopathic relationships at scale are the issue.
> The addressing mode did not define RISC, it was a method to reach the goal.

And the goal was pipelineability, not having fewer instructions.

> That link has a lot of wrong information about RISC.

The guy who helped design one of the more successful RISC chips doesn't know anything about RISC chips? OK.

I'm sure that data exists, but the first two are almost by definition "not private jet" even if they use small jets. US Customs flies various fixed wing assets that are small but are not "private": https://www.cbp.gov/border-security/air-sea/aircraft-and-mar...

Specialist workers quickly is also going to be a smallish amount, though I'm sure there are some companies that have a corporate jet that can be used for it; most will just pay whatever exorbitant cost to get the tech on the next flight.

If you wanted to dig into it the FAA registration databases would probably be the place to start.

Anime fandom, at least among online westerners, seems to primarily sexualize the cartoons. People who are aware of this may not want to have it displayed in a professional setting.
> the choice of emphasizing "FREE" in all caps in this headline.

You’re welcome to fork it and try to sell it if you think that’s such a great idea.

Anyway are you going to blame the user? I will. It sucks people pay for a $3 coffee or a cigs or chips not software they use for even 10s. Maybe figure out a way to make software physiologically addictive like coffee tobacco and junk food, and you can bypass the two decades of cultural programming of 4b people to value intangibles at 0.
Very nice. I really wanted this to happen.
From Ben Thompson's interview with the CEO [1: subscriber-only], Eugenia Kuyda, on April 20, 2023:

> "But at this point, I think it’s much better to have a dedicated product focused on romance and healing romantic relationships, a dedicated product focused on mental wellness, just completely different set of features, completely different roadmaps for each of them. Also you want to collect the right signal from your users, right? Feedback for the models to train on, otherwise there’s way too much noise, because if people came forward with different things, they’re uploading and downloading different things, you don’t know what works and whatnot. Maybe someone’s a flirtier model and someone’s a mentoring AI coach type of model. So we decided to build separate products for that. We’re launching a romantic relationship AI and an AI coach for mental wellness, so things we’ve seen in Replika, but we don’t want to pursue them in Replika necessarily. We’re starting this separate product."

Yes, increasing framerate reduces latency. But you quickly reach a point of diminishing returns, and no amount of framerate increase is going to overcome the baseline network latency, where the speed of light is a real and noticeable problem for anyone not very close to the datacenter their stream is coming from.
My concern is leaking through browser sessions. If browser adware finds traces of two identities in a session, your secret is out. If browser fingerprinting works (it does), your secret is out.
Things like deciding when to retire. You might want to retire earlier and spend time doing things instead of waiting to retire to get maximum retirement payout.
I understand that anything I buy is backed by ownership in an institution, that there are onerous regulatory and reporting requirements, centralized institutions managing it, ample liquidity if I want to get out at any point at that people get sent to prison if they try to manipulate it…
It's likely not that different, the events you cite are just more recent and so we have greater insight into them. There was probably plenty of con artistry and substance abuse on the ground floor of other major religions, but after thousands of years most of the evidence we retain about these founders was recorded by them or their acolytes.

Hey there, I'm a full stack developer with past experience in product management and UX/UI design. I'm looking for fullstack or backend roles. Let me know if you have any interesting opportunities!

As a sample of work — most recently I built an an open-source load-testing framework for real-time collaboration apps (get-edamame.com). It builds on top of K6, allows users deploy tests to their own AWS infrastructure (on Elastic Kubernetes Service) and simulates WebSocket and HTTP traffic from 200K+ virtual users.
Sure. I don't think that detracts from my point at all.

I'm not saying the US hasn't done horrible things, I'm saying they are orders of magnitude less horrible than other big powers.

Most people in my bubble (Canada, age 25-34) have stopped using Facebook.com for social sharing -- all that's moved to Instagram and, to a lesser degree, Snapchat. FB.com primarily seems to be used for marketplace groups, or support groups like for parenting.
A culture of tipping for content you find valuable at the click of a button that works for people to cash out regardless of their jurisdiction is yucky to you? I guess, i see it as one of it's biggest selling points, however you can turn it off in some clients

> ChatGPT can't play chess, for example

Do you really expect this claim to age well? I wouldn't be at all surprised if GPT5 could play chess quite well.

The time to worry about AGI...well, was 20 years ago when Yudkowsky started talking about it, but the worst possible time to start worrying about it is when we unquestionably have it. Because the whole point is that that is too late.
Heatseekers can be very effective, but as with any automated system, it isn't infallible.

Friendly-fire even happens by human beings using small arms, just like strikes on civilian schools and hospitals happen because the intelligence told a human being that it looked like it could be a "terrorist training ground".

I'd be interested to see what the failure rate of an AI looked like in what actions it would have taken based on available data versus what actions human took over a several year sample. I have a feeling that the AI will either look terrible, or the human beings will look terrible, or they'll look pretty equal with strange fringe cases where the AI is better than the human, and vice versa. Judgement and authorization are interesting.

> one side would chirp while the other would listen and confirm it. Ostensibly, this meant you were in the right vehicle.

In Finland this is solved by giving the person reserving the taxi a two-digit code that you repeat to the driver to confirm that you were the requester. It works great unless you're so loaded you can't remember a two-digit number.

A balance sheet is one of the four main financial statements that businesses have to produce. It describes how much stuff you've got (assets) and how much money you owe others (liabilities).

To expand your balance sheet means to load up on assets. In the parent comment's specific example, it means that the bank could simply hold onto the money it makes, rather than paying that money out as bonuses to the executives or dividends to the shareholders. This would give the bank a better cash cushion to weather a storm (e.g. interest rates rising unexpectedly, account holders pulling out their deposits, etc.)

In my youth I'd endlessly try to optimize things. You should see my fvwm setup. "Chef's kiss" perfection.

Regarding 2 keyboards -- mostly it just works. Try it. If you're like me you probably have a stack of random garbage keyboards within 30 feet of wherever you've got your work desk. Plug 'em in and type away. For me, anyhow, it works just fine - my left hand doesn't actually need to be within a foot of my right hand.
Actually I completely agree with you. There are indeed plenty of things where it's murky and hard to piece together the truth (particularly since Joseph and the early church were so secretive about some teachings like polygamy).

The type of thing I had in mind are things that aren't ambiguous but rather are pretty clear. Things like "the actual edicts ... aren't really supposed to be published or talked about" regarding caffeine/word of wisdom. I certainly don't claim to know everything, but I have spent an insane amount of time reading/researching Mormon history and I've never heard that before. Stuff like that seems to pop up constantly for some reason when I talk about things with ex-mormons.
Those corporations are already powerful centralized authorities! The difference is that they don't even have to pretend to be beholden to the public like the government is.
> how many folks, outside of the HN/techie crowd, are even aware of what "kind" of battery is in their various devices and is even aware that there are special rules for many battery types?

why do they bother needing to know? If it has a battery : "Right this way!" .

and more specifically -- nearly every 'high-tech' device of any kind has a battery that requires precaution during the post-consumer phase -- is it even worth distinguishing what kind of battery goes where at this point for the consumer, aside from an allowed luxury of chucking something carelessly into the trash?
I wish that were so but it fairly obviously isn't. Just jump on a thread about politics or vaccination or any other cultural issue.
From what I read it’s a way to expose SQL via APIs (along with stuff needed to do it like auth, perf, query reuse, etc)

Instead of starting from a general purpose web framework+orm you have your data/schema and can query it over http conveniently to build BI/dashboards.

I think both #1 and #2 have side effects (interactions with external mutable state.)

1. The side effect here is an input, and affects the output value of the function.

2. The side effect here is an output (or "action"). Displaying a dialog window mutated something in the external state of the program.

Technically, I think "side effects" are undesired interactions. So #2 might just be an "effect" since it is presumably desired. So maybe:

1. Side effect

2. Effect
