I guess there may be ways to do it not really legally by some hacker and then sharing it with others.

"The Man Who Never Was" is a great film about this episode. It adds quite a few "embellishments", including dealing with a German spy sent to London to verify William Martin, and his encounter with the MI5 clerk posing as his fiancee. One of my favourite war films.

Interestingly, it is believed that Ian Fleming played a part in its planning too. Appropriately cloak & dagger.
> How can people honestly self-host though?

They can't or won't.

...and the ones that do are an insignificant drop in the bucket in terms of numbers. Unless "self-hosting" one's digital infrastructure can become easy and off-the-shelf for non-tech folks (or even tech folks that value their time and effort), it just not going to happen.

Haskell has the IO Monad which is like a magic type that is allow to have any side effect whatsoever. So you are free to write imperative code in Haskell.

However what you might want to do (and this is based on IIRC!) is have a typeclass for your database interaction. Then the real DB type and the mock one can both implement that typeclass and you have basically dependency injection.

There are other ways like free monads but I never got my head around that.

You could also create a monad transformer which is a bit more
straight forward. They let you compose monads, so you can chain little bits of side effect. Like “here is something that can talk to a database and write logs and that is all it will do” … but actually it is pure! It thinks it is doing those things but they can be mocked.

Hey, do the non-QWERTY have some other default that makes sense to offer as an option to WASD or is it better to have the alternative be it's configurable?
Thanks! I agree re the style -- I've attempted to make a 'spirit of the old web' (no Javascript, no tracking cookies, etc) and text-based, CSS-based site. Essentially: communicate what I want to, without the overhead that's normal in many sites today.

Yes, both bold and italic are being applied by the browser, and I do need to fix that. Italic is a temporary choice because I don't like the look of EB Garamond (the current text font) in its italic face, and need to find an alternative. Bold, though, is not intentional. I've noticed the macOS and iOS stacks mimic bold differently, which is an interesting thing to have found.

Excellent point re allcaps for acronyms. Should be pretty easy to add to the site generator. Thanks for the suggestion :)

That doesn't make sense. Potatoes have never been a particularly good cash crop. What they are marvelous at is subsistence agriculture.

In their own lands the feudal overlords had eliminated both feudal overlordship and subsistence agriculture trough some incredibly unpopular land reforms - the highland clearances of Scotland and the enclosure acts of England. Basically they told the peasants the land is now property of the feudal overlord and that they should get a job.

For various political reasons nobody wanted to do the same in Ireland.

What’s the technology? Is it direct exhaust, or heating propellant? Deep-space only or orbital? Why is this problem easier to solve in a rocket configuration than a power plant?

I’m inherently sceptical of anything deep tech trying to come out of England, and this article doesn’t ease that concern.

EDIT: It looks, at best, like a vanity project, and, most likely, a scam. The founder is a television personality [1]. Article claims the firm “currently produces chemical and electric propulsion systems for the aerospace and defence sectors,” yet they somehow have fewer than double checks £5,000 in fixed assets [2]. They hired this real estate and art advisory dude to raise capital for them in 2019 [3][4], who apart from two other individuals [5], is the main outside shareholder. The Princeton Propulsion Systems they’ve “partnered with” is crowdfunding $100,000 [6]. (The latter look marginally legit—I assume Pulsar signed a non-binding LOI with them. That or they’re the £300,000 [2] current liability Pulsar raised money from the real estate and art advisor this January [7] to extinguish.)

> The reality is that it's permitted to do all these things

Yes, given the code in the String class, the JVM is allowed to execute it in this way. I'm not claiming that is wrong, I'm claiming the code in the String class should not have been written in a way that allowed the JVM to do that.

> If you violate that assumption, you get bizarre and often unpredictable behavior.

Java is (supposed to be) a safe language, that maintains its integrity. It does not have the effect that doing something that was not documented as being safe leads to _undefined behaviour_ and therefor all bets are off (like e.g. C).

I'm pretty sure the JDK maintainers intended for String to be a thread safe class with guarantees that can not be broken with race conditions. It's true that the thread safety of String is not explicitly documented, but I believe that's just an oversight in the docs, that String being thread safe just goes without saying. I realize that's hand-wavy, and I don't have any hard proof for that right now, so I understand not everyone might be convinced of that. I'll wait for the bugfix to make that more clear.
I don't expect that fix to have a significant performance impact. Fixing it doesn't necessarily require more barriers or more defensive copies. See e.g. this draft patch (incomplete, but good enough to give a rough idea of how it could be done): https://gist.github.com/amaembo/83b4aeab1cd190f2e1dbd75eacb3... .

But the combination with interning, the "hello world".startsWith("hello") example, is clear evidence that it is a bug. Some code running in the same JVM having triggered some race condition earlier should not break unrelated code, it should not put the JVM in a broken state where such code behaves in nonsensical ways.
Interesting. You're probably the exception there.

Tell HN: ChatGPT have added time-consuming CAPTCHAs between every few messages

It's not a matter of the field being too difficult. It's a matter of personality.

> Quite the claim.

Yes. I've discussed this claim with people defending the opposite idea, and I've yet to find anybody making a good demonstration that philosophy is hard in itself.

They point that there is a lot to know. So reference and memory. Like most expertise in the world.

That texts are hard to read. So style, vocabulary. Well, not different than programming or the law on that point. They are easier than higher level math.

They say few people get novel ideas. Yes, creativity is rare, yet it's not particularly linked to the field. You need creativity to find new theorems too.

So they try to bring complicated topics again and again. Once we are done mapping the references, the vocabulary and cleaned out the awful style a lot of writers use to obfuscate their reasoning, the ideas behind are quite straightforward to grasp.

I've stopped doing it now, it takes a very long time, and it's always disappointing. It feels like debugging a program, only to realize it could have been 10 times shorter and easier to read.
If a result is incredibly hard to replicate, that's a good indicator that the effect is either so niche, or so small, that it's not actually telling you any details of the world worth talking about.

This is a useful thing to consider when using social media or, say, dating apps in general, come to think of it.

Like you, the choice of messaging app is quite beside the point (except FB Messenger being out of the question for reasons I'll explain). So, I still use a combination of WhatsApp, Signal and Skype.

If a friendship depended on me having a Twitter/FB/TikTok/Instagram profile though, I'm more likely to let that fade away. Similarly with dating: it'd be a dealbreaker to have to maintain a social media presence or find someone solely through Tinder or Bumble or whatever. I enjoy life more without social media in it, and without tech companies gatekeeping human connection through a mobile app. Some things just have to stay offline for the sake of me and my mental health.
Your problem is not of "free speech". Your problem is that you feel entitled to other people's attention, and you think if you are not "getting heard" by them, you are being censored.

Sorry, this is complete bullshit.

You can still invite people to your own home. If nobody is hearing it, it's because they are not interested to join you.

> the shamer will become proud of not knowing those things, and then extend it to not knowing other things even if it's crucial.

I guess I take great pride in not knowing the latest celebrity shenanigans, or whoever the captain of $sportsteam is. Intellectually I don't consider it a quality, but I suspect many would not consider it to be "wilful ignorance".

Even when I do know some sports fact (I think Manchester City won the league last year for example) I will pretend I don't when I'm in company.

About a decade ago I was on a multi-day training course in some rural area. In the evening I was in the hotel bar with a bunch of sports journalists who clearly knew a lot about football. I was sat in the middle of the sofa and all was good as we talked about something like IEDs or missing limbs. It then moved on to football. I was completely lost, until they mentioned an early 1990s football player who I knew from when I was young and played Championship Manager 93. I could finally interject with an on topic point. That small anecdote did not go well as it then pivoted to conversations about other 1990s football players and I was once again stuck.

There's a scene in "Friends" where Joey reads an encyclopedia about words beginning with "V". He then has a (unusually) decent knowledge of things from Volcanos to Vivisection. Then he made the mistake of mentioning the Vietnam war. Immediately the conversation pivoted to Korean war and he was lost. Felt just like that.

As such I just live my life pretending football etc doesn't exist. It's easier that way. I won't get dragged into a conversation about the offside rule or whatever.

I imagine the same applies to non-computer people who talk about computers. They might interject with some basic thing like "webpages are made of html", but then get lost as people start talking about nodejs frameworks or something. Better to just not have that conversation in the first place.
> The creator gets zero dollars from you watching sponsored segments, unless you actually go and buy the product using their promo code. So you are not helping them, only wasting your time.

That feels like a deliberate misrepresentation of how sponsorship works.

The sponsors are not paying directly for viewings or sales (though number of eyeballs is one consideration in negotiating the worth for a sponsored block) but for the potential opportunity for sales offered by increases market awareness. It is far more subtle than paying for impressions/clicks like other advertising models.

If no one watched them, the creator would get zero dollars full stop because the sponsorship simply wouldn't happen.

> A better option is YouTube Premium + Sponsorblock.

I'll stop using youtube completely long before I pay them to stalk me (you may not get the ads on premium, but you are still being tracked to the fullest extent possible).

I like the typeface. The website navigation is really fun. A little confusing until you are used to it, but I like the logic of it. Still unclear which widgets can receive input other than navigation. It would be nice to have some clear visual indicator. Some widgets use arrow keys to change state (tabs, toggles, etc.) rather than just move focus around, which I found surprising. Seems like state changes ought to require a distinct input from the focus-affecting input. Some cases certainly blur the lines, such as when navigating over glyphs and seeing captions on focus changes. On the whole, I really enjoyed it. I wish more UIs would experiment with this kind of stuff.
