I agree the style of beers made "locally" is weird, but the justification for local beer, on keg at least, is that it does seem hard to transport them successfully. In the UK beers do taste best on tap when you're within about 50 miles of the brewery. I'm sure they could be transported further safely, but in practice them almost never are.
Are modern instant pots actually shoddy? I haven't looked at the legal documents but maybe the problem is making a product that is durable and doesn't need replacement resulting in no recurring sales.

Edit: I bought my instant pot after the buyout and it seems great and as if it will last another 10 or 20 years
It costs a lot to have infrastructure (hospitals, roads, power, water, etc.) across the country. I wonder if this is one of the long (long) term effects of moving from an agricultural, to industrial, and then knowledge economy.
I command clicked (on a Mac, equivalent to Ctrl click on Win) on a link. It did not open in a new tab, but the same tab. That alone makes me not want to test it further, because 1) that should be default and 2) whenever I see a list of links, I would like to be able to open more than one of them in the background before actually checking them out.
Sorry, I confused Coinbase Earn (staking services) with Coinbase Lend, which was a previous loan product of theirs that was targeted and shut down by the SEC in 2021.

Still, Earn may well be a security, but that's a product that will fit very cleanly into current securities law when it reaches the court, and it concerns a company's product rather than an entire new asset class, so it's not so egregious that the SEC doesn't provide clarity on it.

The big problem is with their lack of clarity on the cryptocurrencies themselves.

> Codepen also doesn't allow me to scroll past the beginning/end of the file, which feels jarring and just wrong with a touch scroll device.

Stuff like this often happens because of a lack of native styling options. Can’t change the appearance of the scroll bar (for, yes, often dumb reasons)? OK then we’ll use a giant JS library that poorly replicates every aspect of scrolling.

At least with native scroll styling, ugly as it may be, you get native behaviours.
No worries. I'll let it be for now. I'm sure you'll have it fixed soon anyway.

I'm currently proving devops work/contracting for projects. The work is related to setup development environment with Docker, documentation guidelines, implement monitoring, observability,...

I found that those jobs required more than just backend skills and the industry is in need of those roles.

I rememeber these was a video where a lawyer defended his defendant by line like: "when you zoom in the video, the algorithm makes up things so you can't use it as an evidence, your honor."

I miss the Atomic MPC forums. Facebook effectively killed that village, rather than huge growth; the print magazine it was ostensibly based around died, Facebook groups took off, Reddit killed forums for good, and my 2004-onward online experience disappeared. And now Reddit is doing it's best to kill Reddit, which is amusing but sad, so the remaining villages I'm a part of online (various smaller subreddits where people know each other) are going to die too. I wonder where people will go next.

You can, but why? There's a reason a lot of people prefer two column formats when writing as opposed to single. It is easier to grab a chunk. Your brain is now able to pick up the full width of a page without moving your eyes. Two column lets you change movements to a vertical scan rather than rasterization (left to right, move a line down, repeat). It literally requires more muscles and frankly, many people will accidentally move vertically when trying to move horizontally. I'm sure I'm not the only one who reads a line and then when moving down to the next line accidentally starts on the wrong new line. Horizontal spacing, be in variable names, code line length, etc is about the receptive field of your vision, which is circular in nature.

Recognize how humans see and exploit that nature to maximize readability. This reduces mistakes and errors both when writing and reading.
Good point. We should stop global warming for Homo sapiens profits, and additionally for some existing animals and plants. For very long term, climate changes without human activity and we'll be end.

Imagine for a moment the cross section of Windows users that 1) have McAfee running 2) poke around the Windows temp folders and/or run some sort of "cleaner" to "optimize" their system and 3) don't recognize the name "sqlite". I can imagine the exact type of user, peak Dunning-Kruger and utterly insufferable. Even just seeing their e-mails before deleting them would be maddening. I think most people on HN can vividly imagine the sort or remember back when they were that insufferable twat.
You could have a theory of antitrust that allows for both rules - if a company is across multiple fields of business or if a company is too much of a single field, it gets split up. So Standard Oil and Ma Bell get split up for controlling too much of their industries and using it in anti-consumer practices, and Amazon gets split up (AWS vs everything else) because it’s inherently too large and it’s better for the economy for them to be split up.
Why? A CA would be unable to issue certificates for advertising sites with that configuration.
That’s Coinbase’s problem.

Similarly, they won’t help you figure out how to insider trade, no matter how nicely you ask.

Good luck to new york. I can't help but feel its more of a band aid though. I wonder how this will play into delivery incentive schemes. As far as I am informed, a fairly sizeable portion of comp is the little bonuses you get for doing a lot of work. If the system works by backloading your pay, and now your pay is uniform, you would expect the supply of labor to go down, methinks.
It's also a much better mall tbh
Sorry, should have been clearer: I meant for-profit physical villages ("company towns") turning into real cities.
Yeah, you're right. We all have an axe to grind against 4chan. We're all making up that we saw CP on it.

I'm a former Goon. I've been all over the trashy parts of the internet. It doesn't benefit me whatsoever to lie about seeing CP on 4chan. I even remember exactly what the picture I saw the last time I went to it looked like. It is seared into my memory. That was my last visit to that trash site.

Do you know why it's "laboratory-confirmed"? Because they didn't test anyone until after symptoms showed.

Your confusion here is exactly what I'm talking about. The press release didn't conflate SARS-CoV-2 (the virus) with COVID-19 (the disease, as defined by a combination of symptoms and the virus). The line you quoted is measuring people who got sick, filtering out those who got sick due to a different virus, it's not measuring people who were infected. They didn't test all participants, so they couldn't make any claims against infection.

Edit:

> and whether a vaccinated individual who still catches COVID-19 (since protection against infection is obviously not 100%) can transmit it.

Getting infected does not mean you caught COVID-19, it means you were infected with SARS-CoV-2. You didn't get COVID-19 if you didn't get sick. Treating the two terms as the same thing is a media conflation people have just accepted, and an annoyance I have to explain every time this comes up because Pfizer was using the correct definitions in that press release.
Yeah I do agree that being a national craft brewery is tough, and I don’t begrudge Anchor leaving the national market. I don’t even begrudge Elysian entering it by selling to AB (though lots of folks here do). My disagreement is only with “no reason” to buy Anchor. There’s a glut of high quality beer on the market, but very little of it is a reasonable substitute for what Anchor brews, and I have gone out of my way when it might be stocked, even though I know that I’m an outlier in even my own competitive local market.

> The locking behavior of SQLite is somewhat problematic unless you use WAL and even then not perfect

SQLite with WAL and synchronous configured appropriately will insert a row in ~50uS on NVMe hardware. This is completely serialized throughput (i.e. the highest isolation level available in SQL Server, et. al.). At scale, this can be reasonably described as "inserting a billion rows per day".

I have yet to witness a database engine with latency that can touch SQLite. For some applications, this is a go/no-go difference. Why eschew the majesty of SQL because you can't wait for a network hop? Bring that engine in process to help solve your tricky data problems. I'd much rather write SQL than LINQ if I have to join more than 2 tables.

We've been exclusively using SQLite in production for a long time. Big, multi-user databases. Looking at migrating to SQL Server Hyperscale, but not because SQLite is slow or causing any technical troubles. We want to consolidate our installs into one physical place so we can keep a better eye on them as we grow.

Fun fact: SQL Server "Hyperscale" is capped at 100MB/s on its transaction log. I have written to SQLite databases at rates far exceeding this.

I think the problem as somebody creating content for or moderating one of those small communities is - do you really want your users to be forced to be used a community as abusive as Reddit towards its users? Do you really want to have your labours exploited by Reddit for their profit?

I’m not sure what the alternative is though. Independent websites? Where are dejected Redditors going to go?
> ...632 bytes... 5KB...

How much does code size matter here? As long as the code has a good access pattern that maintains cache locality, is there any fundamental difference between 632 bytes and 5KB? L1 cache sizes are generally somewhere around 16-64 KB these days, so it seems like there wouldn't be a big difference here. Or am I just totally off base?

There is a difference between disagreeing with predictions about the future, and accusing the people making those predictions of lying about their own beliefs. This article does the latter.

And, ngl, it's been pretty wild watching the AI risk-skeptical narrative pivot from claiming that AI risk is a fringe issue which no experts think is plausible, to claiming that a large fraction of the relevant experts are lying about their beliefs.

No, they're not lying. The people who signed the letter did so because they believe what it says.
Except it won't work. Freedom of speech limited to well composed political speech is not what it sounds. Modern day China(PRC) guarantees in the constitution that kind of freedom of speech, just they label any speeches that isn't conformant to current Party statements to be terrorism conspiracy. Even Nazi Germany had that constitutional clauses.

It just starts from porn and ends in gas chambers. And in the middle is freedom limited to "meaningful" contents and activities. If you looked up and compared state of freedom of speech, CSAM/CP regulation, internet censorship, especially authority intervention, crime rate, and standpoint on democracy-totalitarian axis for various random nations, it should all line up well against each others.
Ubuntu resources are practically (in practice) useless. They change directions too much. Fixes that worked in ubuntu 18 won't work in 22, because they changed too much. Best case the old fixes do nothing. Worst case, you have a non-functioning system unless you have a long-suffering friend that is willing to help you.

Ubuntu has the windows-itis, change for change's sake. I can't even say i like Ubuntu Server, but i'm regularly forced to interact with it because universities output stuff that "works on ubuntu, just copy and paste these lines!", where ubuntu doesn't update certain packages so you end up with old versions of stuff that works reliably until the next "tick" of an even year, when everything will break again. Windows-itis also implies that there's money in "knowing" ubuntu, because you have to keep up with their new ideas in order to be effective.

I'm less than a year away from just switching to BSD, sooner if gentoo decides to do away with openRC.

> Because with the exception of very few tasks like digital art the limitations placed on iOS make it worse. Some tasks are just straight up impossible (e.g compiling code)…

Compiling code isn't impossible; every webpage that contains JavaScript uses the Just In Time compiler to execute JavaScript. The ability for 3rd party apps to compile code is limited due to security reasons—Apple's Lockdown Mode [1] specifically disables the JIT.

iPad users have been able to write code using Swift and submit apps to the App Store since late 2021. [2]

My worry is that it is expensive to host and serve images with decent speed. I wouldn't have pixelfed as my main image sharing platform, purely because you'll need quite some money to keep it running, and without monetization - considering a lot of people just wanna post and not pay - not sure how it will survive in the long term
I just don't like it when conspiracy theories are featured for days on the front page to be perfectly honest. That's not news for nerds, and it feel likes the community wants that flamebait if they keep promoting and engaging things that are simply not based in fact.

This is every single post in this thread in my opinion, so when I see it, I feel compelled to respond.

I also don't think that most were unsubstantiated, most were pointing out the logical fallacies and lack of facts of posts, or other things like people accusing me of being pro china simply because I think this is all unknowable.

Sorry to keep editing. Additionally, this thread started late at night, and while many reasonable comments with great exhaustive expressions of my same opinion did get posted by calmer people, before that happened, it was a lot of conspiracy pile on. My opinion was that thinking a leak did happen wasn't some kind of conservative gotcha they think it is, and that maybe didn't happen isn't some kind of leftist thing or whatever the problem is with it not being a leak. Not enough people talk about just doing something about the ongoing world crisis and instead want to frame it in ways that are politically advantageous, and you see it the vast majority of comments I replied to, this mindset that someone must be blamed, and then people who are ashamed of that claim they really just want to find out the truth, but the people who know anything about epidemiology really wonder what use that would be at this point. This is the majority of my comments here and this feels pretty substantive, and the real discussion that people elsewhere are having on this topic.

So, I also felt like I wasn't doing anything wrong here. I could've just down voted but people also say you shouldn't just downvote if you disagree?
None Pro Ryzen CPUs can use Transparent SME (TSME) if the motherboard includes support for it (and many of them do). Like ECC on non Pro Ryzen chips it isn't 'officially supported' but the option is there and works.
> Maybe they’re all in the tiny minority?

Coinbase lists less than 300 of the tens of thousands of cryptocurrencies out there - indeed a tiny minority of them, and they do have some kind of legal review process, so while that claim may well be untrue, it's not absurd on its face.
People get it in their heads that small and local means good or at least better than the stuff mass-produced by MegaCorp, but that's not always the case. I think beer is a case where it's hard to beat Big Beer.

Heineken, the second-biggest brewery in the world, moved 231.2 million hectoliters of beer in 2021[0], or nearly 19,000 acre-feet of beer (!). How many locally-produced lagers actually taste better than Heineken?

Depending on the beer it also has terroir, from catching wild yeasts.

Same thing with beers made from local ingredients
>I imagine everything will go back to the status quo as soon as this protest is over. The mods have no real leverage, and a temporary outage like this isn't going to suddenly make a bunch of people switch to some other site.

I don't think reddit will be dead by the end of the year or anything quite like that. But we know from past studies (using that API, heh) that a very tiny percentage of site visitors post content. I think it was something like 10% of visitors are logged in, 1% of visitors comment regularly, and 0.01% post content. But something like 90% of the content is from only 1% of the users who post content, so the 0.01% isn't even that important, it's the 0.0001% who drive the site. And there's a lot of cross over between these power users who post all the content and the moderators of the largest subreddits.

So what will happen when the power users quit the platform? It's not just that lots of communities will go unmoderated and shutdown (if their mods don't shut them down first), but a lot of the content will dry up.

Now, vacuums fill and naturally any void left by the power users leaving will be filled by others who start posting, but that could very well be the beginning of the end. We saw this with Digg. There were several mass exoduses from digg to reddit and other sites that caused the quality of digg content to get worse and worse for the 3 or 4 years before Digg v4 put the final nail in the coffin. Had Digg kept old.digg running along side digg v4 it might have continued to suck for many more years, but Digg's influence on internet culture was decidedly in decline before Digg v4.

And that I think is what we'll see with reddit. Many communities will collapse, content will reduce in quality, and the slow attrician will begin. It won't disappear in a year or 3, but it won't be nearly as important in a couple of years as it is today. Remember when "slashdotted" was a term?

The big questions is "where will the users go?" When digg was fucking up, there was already reddit. Can fediverse link aggregators (lemmy, kbin.social, etc) really serve as a replacement? I'm not convinced. I've read there's efforts to make a link aggregator using BlueSky's AT protocol, but that's not yet here.

For better or worse, I agree with your sentiment, but that will probably change. Consider how many kinds of foods and clothing are mass produced; we often consider something made by hand to be precious, and even a higher value, but we have become accustomed to the tradeoffs for cheaper solutions. It may not be our generation, but it's conceivable future generations will be less inclined to differentiate as we do (if only based on the exposure to what this kind of art generation offers at an early age).
