And yet humans still play chess with each other, casually and competitively, translate each others works, etc. It turns out that just because you can make a computer do something doesn’t mean you should or that most people will enjoy the fruits of that effort for things that give their lives meaning (vs. that which they’re forced to do as work in order to survive). This is especially true of art. We’ve had generative art since the 1960s at least and yet most people would still prefer to wander around Rome and visit art museums than type “anime waifu trending on artstation” into Midjourney.
It is very scary to read such an "opinion" pieces on fbi.gov domain.
First, they make it possible to connect any organized activity to "violent extremism".

And then this:

> Meetings may entail impassioned rhetoric and rehearsal of tactical operations for the ultimate future apocalypse when citizens will overtake the government or institute their own community policing.

This quote is fucking insane, imo. "citizens will overtake the government" – aren't citizens already supposed to be in charge of the government? A very strange choice of words. What about all that "We the People" stuff. And second,
"or institute their own community policing" - it is how the policing in the US works. Local police forces account for the majority of police force in the US according to National Sources of Law Enforcement Employment Data [1].

Does it seem to be growing and is a huge threat in numeric comparison to other negative outcomes because the quantity is actually rapidly increasing or because the media and government are beating a drum about this issue louder than about other issues, regardless of quantitative changes in risk and absolute risk?

Thanks for the help. After upgrading my instance, all the query times dropped dramatically. The thing is, I did not even upgrade the instance that much (micro -> medium).

I'm guessing some important bottleneck was being hit, but I have no idea what it was (maybe 1GB RAM was causing spillover to disk in a query or something? like that?).

It seems important to understand what bottleneck I hit -- but frankly, I have no idea.
I’d say most of current stuff is “get new guys, write it from scratch again”.

That is how you get new framework each year.

Maybe more people should be just software historians.

On the other hand rewriting stuff in new ways is beneficial as new processors come to life.
Because they need to provide a reference for when FBI agents in the future have to decide of someone is harmless or not. While this is available publicly, the audience is mostly law enforcement officers and possibly prosecutors. Many law enforcement officers have no familiarity with fantasy hobbies or war reenactment. Pointing out that LARPers use fake weapons and operate in the open is a good thing to point out. It’s not obvious to everyone.
In terms of international law, does Croatian law enforcement performing a court order and making arrests within the land, make this an affirmative claim? Otherwise wouldn't it be an cross-border action?

I’m so much faster with touch than I ever was on my BB. But your comment made me realize how much I’d love a jog wheel where my right index finger rests (top right side) while my thumbs are typing. I’d use it for adjusting the cursor location or press in to select a word for replacement.

Android even supports access to raw pseudorange data from the GNSS chipset now. Today's phones support all the constellations and new technology like GPS L5. There's even a way to turn off things like duty cycling to maximize accuracy at the expense of battery consumption. Should be possible to set up centimeter precision relative positioning with these things.
It's relevant that the first railroad bubbles took place several decades before the events described in the article. Sometimes it takes a long time for capital-intensive technologies to be fully deployed, and for economic benefits to be fully realized.

In twenty years the use of public blockchains in everyday finance and trade will be mundane. Former crypto skeptics will explain that their earlier complaints pertained only to the crazy things happening in 2020, not the boring & ordinary things that crypto is used for in 2040. And meanwhile, nearly everything "financial" involving counter-parties will happen on-chain.

Why? Because public blockchains eliminate counter-party risk for a large number of transactions, provide unparalleled transparency, and give anyone with an internet connection access to global financial markets, enfranchising billions of people who are otherwise locked out due to unsatisfactory local conditions. Blockchain tech will make developed economies more efficient, and will accelerate development world-wide.

If you don't agree that public blockchains actually do anything useful, then you'll probably object to the railroad analogy. But if you see value in blockchains, then there are clear parallels:

• Initial cost of the build-out being funded by early investors who might not be around to realize the long-term benefits of the technology.

• Speculative energy attracting scammers alongside legitimate operators.

• Long-term benefits not being obvious after the first wave of investment dies down.

• The true value of the technology only being realized when network effects are fully realized, years after the technology's introduction.
This is a horrible idea. I have had commutes up to almost 2 hours each way, because my line of work was limited and not at all work from home able. I chose to live in a smaller town, yes. But i dont feel i should be forced to live in a big city with crazy home prices just because my job cant be in a smaller town. Im a professional, and not all professions have offices like mcdonalds have food places. I feel i pay the price enough with gas and tires and brakes.
I think it's worth reading the linked page more closely: the distinction scheme it describes appears to be designed to handle the exact problem you've identified.

(That's not to say that it's good, or that the FBI will apply it effectively or correctly, only that it isn't as simple as "the FBI believes in the DnD cult conspiracy.")
GUI libraries?
If we're being honest, the only thing that differentiates an interpreted and compiled language is intention (design decisions that make one implementation versus the other easier) and what you choose to run the language through.

You can make almost any general purpose language "compiled", depending on how fat you're willing to make the runtime. And you can certainly create an interpreter/JIT VM for C/C++. It's not a question of possibility, but one of "why?".
The first railroad over the Appalachians bankrupted the first two groups of investors. The third attempt managed to run a line through and it changed the world. Because unfathomable amounts of cheap grain from Ohio appeared on the international market.

Big issue with rail is there are huge network effects are impossible to price in pure market. Which is why except for the US and Britain most countries built state owned rail. Britain and the US eventually nationalized or quasi nationalize rail. And attempts at privatization seem to fail.

No comment on your larger point, but I fail to see any evidence that the 'language' is the problem, or that speaking in "fines" is a solution. In fact, I see quite the opposite - we've seen repeatedly that corporations treat fines as cost of business. Moreover it's not like data collection was ever outlawed, so I don't see the motivation to give up immediately and jump to a fining model. If anything, sanctioning things via fees could very well cement the practice in even more, and make it harder to outlaw entirely.
Funnier is how many of these people don't seem to understand how retention holsters work.

Sorry Dang. I hadn't realized it was coming off that way, but I'll be my best to check myself in the future.

I can see how what I said would be construed that way.

Thank you! One change from the stream page: > and >> now redirect to files in the traditional Unix/Linux way. (That older behavior was just too ingrained and I imagine it is for lots of people.) Use >$ and >>$ to store in variables that don't survive your session. (The $ is meant to evoke an association with variables.)

Multiline functions can be defined right now:

M 0.18.3 jao@loon ~$ f = (lambda: \
M +$ lambda x, y: x + y \
M +$ )
M 0.18.3 jao@loon ~$ (f(3,4))
7

So all that would be needed is a way to dump them into a file. That should be doable with
another function.

One thing to note: You have choices beyond inline and imports for defining new functions. There is a startup file, typically in ~/.config/marcel/startup.py. You can define functions in there, or do imports. The REPL loop checks for modifications to that file, so if you change it, you pick up the changes for your next command.

For example, I just put this into my startup file:

def hello(x):
return f'Hello {x}'

and then without restarting marcel:

M 0.18.3 jao@loon ~$ (hello('world'))
Hello world

> Why is the FBI writing stuff like this and publishing it?

Violent extremists use a variety of dodges to attempt to avoid accountability for their behavior. You've probably seen examples - it is very common to shout "false flag", claiming rivals impersonated them, for instance[1].

This is just another in a long line of those sorts of things.

The FBI's remit includes investigating and arresting violent extremists. As such, they collect and disseminate information that assists with that goal.

[1] Some of the same people also actually engage in "false flag" operations of their own - for instance, the "Boogaloo Boys" were responsible for violence and arson in Minnesota and murder in California during the George Floyd riots, which was initially misattributed to BLM-affiliated folks.

The article is of relevance to anyone who is affected by criminal justice system. This is literally an article on how the law should be interpreted by federal law enforcement.
I like the idea of simplicity and doing exactly what you need. And the single executable.

The words "stupid simple" and "C++" together make me scratch my head though. C++ itself is not simple, and you have to recompile if you need to change something (and sometimes you inevitably do), which is slow. I'd likely go with a relatively simple C program that embeds the FFI for RRDtool and other stuff, and embeds Lua, or, better yet, Janet. Then most of the thing could be written in these languages, and would be easy to tweak when need be. That would still allow for a single executable + a single config file, on top of the logic already embedded. (But the author went and built the thing, and I did not, so their solution so far outperforms mine.)
Because social media has taught people - especially young people - that views/clicks/likes/etc are equivalent to popularity and acceptance, so they need to do outrageous things to get the views.

Once you realize many individuals see written language not as a means to share ideas and have mutual constructive discussion, but as just another weapon to achieve their ends, a lot of human interactions (especially online) make a lot more sense. It's very dangerous since many of us (myself included) instinctively assume good faith and approach conflicts as possible misunderstandings or opportunities for constructive common ground finding; but the other person (regardless of how they present themselves) isn't interested in any of that at all. They would just as quickly hit you over the head with a club.

The one thing I dislike about Elixir is the confusion caused by how some libraries execute their functionality in-process and others spawn a supervision tree and message pass - putting your work in a possible queue that can get overloaded.

Its a common pitfall for more inexperienced devs and I think its just a symptom of the language conventions.

Everyone is taught genservers with a client-side API existing inside the same module as handle_ functions and it blurs the distiction some.

I think if the convention was to create a separate module to implement the client-side convenience functions then the client-server split would be more obvious.
Sure forgot about that one.

My company has instituted a 3 day RTO policy.

First week? Had a fever, didn't go in.
Second week? Went in 2 days. Had too much shit to do to worry about office crap.
Third week? Also 2 days. There were less than 10% of the desks filled on both days I went.

Going real smooth. And I guarantee you that every single person who is actually going into the office is counting commute time against their working hours.

Anyone else fat fingering a lot of submissions for flagging?
I just noticed I had something like 50-100 submissions flagged for which I have no recollection of flagging them (and they do not look flag-worthy). I assume I fat-finger-flagged them on a phone when I was attempting to scroll instead. Or is there a known bug where random articles end up being flagged?

Anyway, this sort of thing is probably not good for the site.
Ah I didn’t realise it still existed. I think I must have misremembered the warning as being a deprecation notice.
You need to re-read my previous comment. It doesn't appear that you processed and internalized it at all.
Not perhaps always, but I've seen the term "LARPing" used in a more tongue-in-cheek and disparaging way. Might be part of it some times.

"Did you hear what Jim has planned?"

-"Oh he's just LARPing"
Ah ok, I was imagining keeping it in the office.

Tangentially related, but if you're into videogames, the really old Sid Meyer's "Railroad Tycoon" was a game that made me so curious about these barons, and made me learn a lot about trains and the 1800s US.
Good question. I've been using Kagi a long time but have never tried this feature. I just tried, and it does bypass the paywall. No idea which sites that works on, but I'd imagine it correlates with ons archive.is can bypass - I assume crawlers are just allowed to read the whole thing.

No, (individual) citizens aren't supposed to be that.

Now, all (majority) citizens? Sure. But we established proper procedures how to execute that power, and you aren't supposed to skip those.
Mainly because without those, you cannot guarantee that it's actually majority's opinion, and not loud minority. But even if you have majority of the area agreeing on something, there is no reason why suddenly they should be able to abandon all the agreements, (social) contracts and rules they agreed to before.
TFA:

>Violent and criminal actors, particularly those involved in a conspiracy, could potentially make false claims, explaining that they were merely LARPing and not intending to follow through with an attack. For example, after Kaleb Franks was arrested in October 2020 for plotting to abduct Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, he told the FBI he and his compatriots were only LARPing. Franks later pled guilty and testified that this was a lie.5

>Although the history of LARP as a legal defense is narrow, the authors share the concern that it may soon become commonplace. Early attempts at such a strategy have been made by a defendant acting alone6 or in loose cooperation with members of a fantasy group who knew each other only in the virtual world,7 claiming “artistic expression” to excuse threatening language.8
If the codebase is actually a mess, you should focus on the actual mess rather than Ruby idioms that are uncomfortable to you.
I've been struggling with graphana and netdata looks so much better.

Is this a tool where you can boot up the docker app and then connect a bunch of servers into a centralized dashboard? Or, is it better to think of netdata as a dashboard for a single server that permits monitoring of a bunch of processes only on that machine?

I'm not sure I understand whether agents can be configured to talk to a dashboard, or if you don't need to do that configuration because they expect to talk to localhost. I have a bunch of VMs running on a bunch of different random hardware and want a way to monitor those VMs (and perhaps the hosts as well).
Still think that crystal might be more interesting in a similar niche?

The blatant lying that law enforcement has to deal with on a daily basis is uderappreciated.

The US has a legal system that permits a defendant to say many things, like "My buddies and I were participating in a fantasy scenario where we plotted in detail and collected supplies to kidnap the governor of our state... but it was just a game. Like those other people who play games!"

Good for the authors in making an effort to clearly distinguish between protected speech and non-protected conspiracy to commit a crime.
Few things.

1. The main downside to using PostgreSQL as a pub/sub bus with LISTEN/NOTIFY is that LISTEN is a session feature, making it incompatible with statement level connection pooling.

2. If you are going to do this use advisory locks [0].
Other forms of explicit locking put more pressure on the database while advisory locks are deliberately very lightweight.

My favorite example implementation is que [1] which is ported to several languages.

For these companies that are as big as they are, could someone help me understand the whole "tax breaks" / "commercial real estate" argument?

Seems to me that a one time write off a few billion dollars wouldn't /really/ be a big deal. It would also seem that money would be recouped fairly quickly without mortgage payments / rents

What am I missing, because they argument always sounds a little "conspiratorial"
I don't disagree, but it gives a diffent image... think of it this way

"Millions starving as a billion tons of grain goes unused" I mean people starving is bad, why aren't they doing something with all that food. But if you instead write "millions stave as a billion tons of grain never planted" gives you a much different view of the ground truth.
It isn't just courts, these are for police officers in general, they say it near the top "which may be helpful to both law enforcement and prosecutors if suspects of targeted violence claim they were playacting".

These standards will likely make officers go after more genuine LARPers than before. These tips are very problematic if police officers start to follow them, for example:

> Role players will not discuss law enforcement concerns on social media or provide guidance to each other if confronted by an officer. Also, they will have no demonstrated interest in criminal cases involving claims of LARP.

If police officers are going after LARPers then LARPers will start to talk about what to do in those cases.

> The foremost distinction between LARPers and violent extremists is that genuine role players will not care whether others are watching. They may even embrace third-party observation, such as nonplayer characters or a general audience. After all, LARP is a performance.

Lots of people are embarrassed to do things in public, a police officer coming across some people LARPing in private shouldn't be cause for investigation.
