EDIT: Disclaimer, this was for one of the most principled politicians I've ever met. To this day, he will say he is an anarchist in public. (Although, he would say it in a pleasurable way)

Sure, so to change 0.5% of the vote, we would find people with demographics that people vote for.

For instance, if there is a women on the ballot, run another women because at least 0.5% of people vote for a women, so this splits the vote. Or find someone with similar/same names, bonus points if their signage only has their last name.

Anyone with the enemy's yard sign, gets the negative ad. Each neg ad was tested considerably.

There is a huge database of every voter, their petitions they signed, odds of being dem/gop, odds of voting, their pet names(if registered), etc... You go up to someone's house knowing they support guns because they signed a petition. Heck, the candidate would pretend they remembered the dog's name from a few years ago.

Lying and plausible deniability is like a daily thing. Looking back on it, I would have been sacrificed in a second for putting neg ads in people's mailboxes illegally.

Those are some heavy hitters. I feel like I forgot like 2 major stomach churning events, maybe I blocked them out. (Oh gosh, when I went to the enemy's campaign rally and put neg ads on everyone's cars, got followed by their staff, jumped over a fence/bush area to escape...) Okay, I'm only missing 1 stomach churning event from my memory. I think it was strategy related, maybe it had to do with old people.
I considered paying for Monica because to get this feature. Glad I didn't, I suppose. No word from the authors that this is being addressed, and I can't seem to find any mention of CardDAV in the UI...

Someone without an engineering degree will say it's a bad thing because it seems like pointless waste. Someone with an engineering degree will tell you of reasons why it should be done.

It doesn't work as well as you'd think on spinning platters, either. Although it does increase the amount of effort needed to read the data on them.
> a house of cards

This is the most bewildering part of every conversation I've had so far about the fediverse, and it always comes down to this idea that because it is difficult, because it is not the easy and well-funded way that has a buyout or a powertrip at the end of it, that it's somehow bound to fail where, well, so far the platforms claim to be succeeding but let's see how they do with the interest rates as they are for another few years.

Which part of Reddit - leave out Twitter, leave out Facebook, leave out Google, leave out everything else because they only make my question harder to answer; Reddit is currently the great white hope of the Platforms. The one that everyone desperately points to as a platform done right, because the alternative - a world without big corporate daddies seeing to our needs and keeping us safe at night because Alexa is listening to us breathe, a world without the possibility of chatting up a VC capitalist doing a startup and cashing out a billionaire in a couple years - is too horrible to contemplate.

So exactly which part of Reddit, with its legions of unpaid labourers and current shenanigans, is not very obviously a house of cards that is just about to collapse right before their IPO coup-de-grace?

Reddit is "relying on the goodwill of [definitely] unpaid enthusiasts," except their goal is not to foster community and offer an alternative to the platforms, their goal is to do their IPO, collect their golden parachutes, and let the whole thing fester like the untreated infection that it is.

I will place my bet on the enthusiast server owners and the willingness of their communities to take collective responsibility to make sure that we do have an actual alternative to this bullshit before I'll ever trust another platform.

And you know, we ought to know better than to question the ability of communities of enthusiasts and weirdoes to actually make something happen without a fucking VC involved. Look at GNU(/Linux), on which the entire world runs. We got this baby, and we won't need YC to make it work. I'm sure there are folks in this forum that won't like that either - if you can't monetize it, it's worthless to them, and that's why our communities keep going up in Private Equity smoke, just like Sears.
> the U.S said hey long copyright does not help support the promotion of science and the arts etc

The US has been a big driver of extending copyright terms on behalf of US media corporations such as Disney. It became very apparent that whenever Mickey Mouse would come out of copyright, Disney would get a change in the law.

Most recently when it was about to expire this didn't happen, possibly as a result of the spat between Disney and Florida Republicans.

Most consumer, prosumer and pro hardware has to have the EE/EMF figured out to be able to sell.

Other things to setup your own gear that are worth looking into.

Factoring in electricity costs is important too long term.

Beyond this, running hardware long term:

- If you run your hardware using a PDU (Power distribution unit) that conditions the electricity and keeps it stable, there is much less wear and tear on the electronics, especially transistors, etc, that love to pop.

Lots of gear out there like this: https://www.apc.com/us/en/product/AP7921B/apc-netshelter-swi...

- Cooling without a fan is most certainly only so good and more dependant on how well the closet or the surrouding environment can cool. It's almost certainly better to use a good case with fans, and add some cabinet fans, for example by AC Infinity

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ac+infinity

Is the closet sealed? Maybe port a hole out and run a small few items like a small stand up AC that can be temperature activated, and something to handle the humdity one way or the other depending on the basement.

For setting up your own space, places like ebay are your friend. Industrial grade equipment is not made to fail.
Did you read the article? They patented a device to cut off blood flow to limbs in case of accidental injury with a needle.
It doesn't mean anything in Perl. The comment is a demonstration of why some criticisms of Perl are unjustified, as people love to make up little things like that, then other people such as yourself end up with the impression that sort of nonsense is ordinary Perl.

(You could imagine at a stretch those characters as part of an unrealistic expression, like "print $_%@array" meaning "print the value of $_ modulo the length of @array", but you can write messy code without spaces like that in many languages.)

I used to think heavy criticism of Perl's use of punctuation characters were valid, until I looked at PHP, Ruby and Rust, and realised that some of the more popular and even loved languages are punctuation-heavy too. I prefer languages with less punctuation (despite doing expert level Perl), so I think the use of sigils ($variable) is not the best design space, but I think the criticisms of that kind which single out Perl are more like a have-a-go meme than a level-headed comparison by now.
Samsung Browser and Safari both very much enable ad blocking, and especially Samsung actively notifies users to enable it.
IANAL, but it seems relevant that Apple is also a retailer for refurbished Apple products.

Basically, this is one seller of X reaching out to another seller of X to fix prices for X. Definitely seems like a worthwhile case.

Apple didn’t stole the Apple trademark from Apple Records.

Until Apple entered the music industry (iTunes) there was no conflict. Apple (the computer company) used Apple trademark in the computer business. However when Apple did iTunes it had to settle the conflict with Apple Records. It was about 500 mil. USD [1].

I find it strange how preachy a part of HN can get about less CO2 emissions and being eco-friendly but then unequivocally support en extremely eco-unfriendly initiative like physically destroying usable storage devices.

If you have principles, this is your litmus test. Show everyone that your principles hold even when there's a risk for you (and that risk is only perceived IMO, and not real if you have good procedures in place; and if you don't have those then you are at risk of many other problems).

Personally I don't find it that hard to have a designated "hard drive exit area" where 1-2 guys' job is basically plugging in HDDs and running `shred` on them (which overwrites them with random data in several passes) all day long.

I'm used to website ( often old.reddit.com because it is more readable ).

Last year, when I tried the app, it asked if I was happy about it very often. It becomes annoying to skip this question. I tried to answer "No": I felt my answer got lost in a confusing procedure. I never tried to choose "Yes", but I guess it would have led me to the notation on Google Play?
I am constantly contacted by recruiters who just want to talk about their latest thing. An email won't do, it has to be some of my valuable time. You cannot deal with them unless you know what your priorities are. I have three criteria for work: how much it pays, is it remote, can I do it.

Few recruiters will lead with how much it pays so I just tell them what my hourly range is for that type of work. Very few ever follow up and the ones that do are more likely to represent real work.
The fact that hip-hop originated from the black community and got big (you might want to read on how exactly it got big) doesn't really translate to a marketing/talent scouting strategy going forward.

While the second one relies on active attack hiding data for exfiltration, first poses statistically possible scenario where a sector containing sensitive data like password or part of mbox with "We are operating a fucking unlicensed securities exchange in the USA bro" becomes weak read (still fully completed, but slow) and gets remapped. Anyone with PC-3000 can recover this data.
>And your metric for this is what? An even sounding number in base 10 after an arbitrarily chosen dip?

Read Tao Te Ching(I liked Stephen Mitchel Translation, its only 80 pages, its the first book of Taoism, 2nd favorite book of all time). I'm a numbers guy, but I can't deny that you can 'feel'/'see' the Tao. When your redneck neighbor buys a gigantic boat and has a 7 year car loan, its something you notice.

This article does a lot of finger pointing, but there are no suggestions on what should be done differently. Its all "The chinese military is at fault!" but no serious discussion on whether or not gain-of-function research should be prohibited or not.
This is your first snippet (expanded to two lines and max index reduced from 5 to 3):

lambda_list = [lambda: i for i in range(3)]
results = [x() for x in lambda_list]

It expands to this:

i = 0
f0 = lambda: i
i = 1
f1 = lambda: i
i = 2
f2 = lambda: i
results = [f0(), f1(), f2()]

The body of those functions f0, f1, f2, each looks in the function's own dictionary of local variables for "i". But it doesn't exist there, so it looks in the enclosing scope (and keeps doing this recursively up to global scope if necessary). At the next scope it does find a variable "i". This happens at the point you call the function (the same as anything else inside the definition of a function), in this case on that last line when you assign to results. By that point, the "i" variable in the enclosing scope has value 2. So results = [2, 2, 2].

[edit: this feature of functions in Python (variables are looked up by name when the function is run) is what lets you define functions foo() and bar() in a module / script that call each other. When the first one is defined, the other one doesn't exist yet, but you're not actually running the code inside the function so it doesn't matter. By the time you come to call it later, the other function does exist in the enclosing (module level) scope so the lookup succeeds.]

This is your second snippet (I changed one of the variable names from i to j for clarity, but you can rename it back and it would work the same way):

lambda_list = [lambda j=i: j for i in range(3)]
results = [x() for x in lambda_list]

it expands like this:

i = 0
f0 = lambda j=i: j
i = 1
f1 = lambda j=i: j
i = 2
f2 = lambda j=i: j
results = [f0(), f1(), f2()]

But defaults of function arguments are evaluated at the point the function is declared, not when it's called (as noted elsewhere in this thread - hence the def foo(x=[]) gotcha!). You can imagine the second line of code above is like this, just to really drive the point home [edit: I originally used a made up syntax, but I updated to code that actually works]:

f0 = lambda j: j
f0.__defaults__ = i,
f0.__kwdefaults__ = {"j": i}

So, f0 has the specific value 0 baked into it, and similarly f1 and f2 have 1 and 2. Therefore results = [0, 1, 2].

> Isn't this kind of the same as saying that LVMH is such a better company than Uniqlo?

Objectively from the perspective of capitalism, LVHM is a better business if it makes more money.

That doesn't mean you have to like LVHM products more than Uniqlo. That is personal preference and different from a business perspective.
Yes.

I mostly use man pages when I already basically know the program and need to do specific thing.

Even then I don't use man itself but usually a webpage of the manfile because of UX.

As the comment above you pointed out, then this job wasn't for you.

If you made a job add for e.g. the job of an Olympic level swimmer most people would consider the add bonkers, not those who are actually olympic level swimmers.

Believe it or not there is in fact people who can maintain systems in 1/3 of the time most competent people think possible.

There is also people who love the thrill of going as fast as possible and who would prefer this over a more leisurely pace.

Of course the amount of people this applies to is probably less than 1%. But those people are going to really like the job.

I learned Perl just as my shell scripts grew into more than ten-liners, and I switched happily. I never learned awk or sed, Perl is just far too convenient.

And I think it is possible to write very readable, maintainable Perl, but one has to really want to and make it a habit. Perl has a couple of footguns, and one needs to be aware of those.

The main reason Perl dropped out of favor, IMHO, was the combination of the Perl 6 debacle and Ruby on Rails taking its place for web development. But in its original niche, Perl remains a great choice.

There's another category that's missing from most of the (enterprisey) companies I've worked at; procedures. Think of the result of an event storming session; consider all the steps involved in all layers of your application when a user creates a new session, or wants to do X in your application.

Ex: I work in the energy sector at the moment; because their gas/electricity usage varies across the year, there's a system in place where they pay a fixed amount per month, then they pay or get paid back the difference by the end of a contract year.

It's in the energy company's best interest that the monthly amount they pay is on par. The process to adjust this monthly amount is administrative, but in addition to that there's a huge stack of things to deal with across platforms; website, apps, back-end, support, support user interface, etc etc etc.

All the processes involved in just this aspect of the company need to be documented and drawn out as well, because else it has to be figured out from code or various people that happen to have it in their head. That's where a lot of the meeting culture comes from, because there's no one person in charge of this process, and the ones that know enough don't get together to write it down (and then maintain that documentation).
> switching from .docx to .odt

Also, isn't the whole .docx / OOXML thing just a published standard? The process may not be as "open" as one might like (i.e. not everyone can contribute) but that seems like a detail. IIRC there was a lot of FUD simply because it came from Microsoft.

That said: I don't think it's entirely irrelevant; e.g. my country's parliament publishes a lot of their files in .docx. But I can read them on my Linux machine and you don't need a byte of non-free software for it, and I had a lot more trouble with the .doc files they published 20 years ago, so...

i think the idea is, that with objective-c, the substrate was always c with the objects (connection language) being the objective (smalltalkish) part

if you took the c out of objective-c you basically have smalltalk but you still might need c-ish level expressions to get better performance

the expectation from swift then, was that you'd start out with that high-level paradigm and then provide lower level constructs only when needed for performance or other reasons, but the reality is you start off closer to a really well-designed and clean c++ (structs, classes, enums, generics) that adds higher level features (actors, async, etc) when you need it than something that starts off high-level as smalltalk or python from the get-go

the reason the author likes mojo more in that respect then is because it starts with the high-level constructs (python) as the substrate and allows for tuning where needed... the presupposition i think is that will lead to higher productivity and simpler code in the long run (this is my interpretation)

Those are very different sentences and that difference makes them hold some content. Especially content like numerical values and limitations, making the whole thing waaaaaay less binary (which was the issue with the original one).

I went through abstracts of papers 1 and 3 ('long term exposure to cocaine induces neuroplasticity' isn't exactly controversial). The issue isn't with those papers, but in difference between them and 'cause neural rewireing'.

It's the difference you're also well aware of, because in 'summary' you put my exact quote quoting you in form of 'Everything causes neural rewiring' while on the way there you decided to argue against position that 'every interaction leads to a measurable change in the brain matter'. Those are different statements, unless there's some standard explaining that 'neural rewiring' refers to a specific level of changes that I'm simply not familiar with.
