>Your post reads like someone who is interested in politics on the side, and has done a lot of reading on US issues, but hasn't really worked in the field. Is that accurate?

I worked for a major K Street NGO. I was removed for refusing to weaken web standards.

I took a pause from all assistance to civil society during Trump, to make folks think and reflect about the consequences of their decisions.

(As I like to joke at open mic: your post Columbine models are broken, I don't need to be a weatherman to know which way the Solar Winds blow, and it is my inaction that will be the death of you.)

The "Improve Accuracy" tool in JOSM is amazing. Check it out if you are not using it already.
In fact I'd like to see a wifi standard that utilizes the entire spectrum from 900 Mhz to 6 Ghz seamlessly without me noticing. If I'm in line of sight, switch me to 6 Ghz. As I move away, go to 5 Ghz then 2.4 Ghz progressively.

There are systems that try to do this today, but they are not seamless. The switchover is noticeable most of the times, and sometimes your device won't ever come back to the faster frequency. I suspect that is because the standard itself doesn't treat this behavior as a first class citizen. Manufacturers are building custom solutions.
> My impression has always been that ad free tiers are actually less profitable for video providers.

I'd be interested to see those numbers. More importantly though, i don't want to pay more than my share if we're actually talking a fair trade of services here. If the justification is cost of video hosting vs ads i'd see, then it should be variable.

Also, it's including a service i have zero interest in. So upcharging alone is insulting.
To be honest, I have a few excuses to this.

1. Once you've tried a few times and failed at almost 100% to have anything fruitful come from it, it's easy to blame yourself/want to stop trying

2. If you are going to be near me for 3 years+ on and off at a soccer game + post game drinks or whatever and not even put the effort in to know my name, I can't help but feel I would come off as the young kids say as "thirsty" and "unable to read the room" asking somebody uninterested to be a friend "hey... please be my friend!"
The home ownership thing prices out a large percentage of younger buyers, who are also more likely to try something new. It's just numbers, man.

It's not "much better quality" so much as "the quality is good enough that you concentrate on the generated content, and the generated content is more fun to watch than anything put out by Disney Star Wars lately".

> The economics of competition, supply, and demand is amoral: it's just a method for determining the prices of products and transactions, without any judgment about whether the outcome is morally good. What we've done is turn our economic system into an ethical system: you are judged worthy, meritorious, based on your economic value.

That argument looks like it is based on equivocation between different meanings of 'merit'.

On the contrary, for meritocracy proponents, 'merit' is explicitly amoral quality as it is clear that it has significant pure luck factor. Fundamentally it says that economic outcomes (both positions in economic structures and personal incomes) should depend just on ability to create economic value (which is in this context called 'merit'), not on other factors like moral worth.

> Insofar as causal inference has no such 'check', its because there never was any. Casual inference is about dispelling that illusion.

Aye, and that's the issue I'm trying to understand. How to know if model 1 or model 2 is more "real" or, for my lack of a better term, more useful and reflective of reality?

We can focus on a particular philosophical point, like parsimony / Occam's razor, but as far as I can tell that isn't always sufficient.

There should be some way to determine a model's likelihood of structure beyond "trust me, it works!" If there is, I'm trying to understand it!
The only answers are

(1) massive retaliation, i.e. everyone connected with it is fired and can never work for EU again

(2) a Constitutional amendment, forcing a supermajority referendum result for any such laws in the future.

(1) unlikely. But imagine that the EC put out a proposal mandating a swastika underneath the EU flag, everywhere. Most likely those people would all be blacklisted permanently. So it's not inconceivable.

(2) probably doesn't exist in the EU, but maybe it's in a bylaw somewhere.

>(It didn't help that I was what was commonly called "a quiet child" and got picked on a lot for not wanting to play with other kids or just "being weird", something I think a lot of HN can relate to.)

Yep. Turns out I was autistic, but since it wasn't in a way that that was a bother other people had I no clue until my late 30's.

Reading the episode description is really something else. They managed to perfectly capture the phenomenon of real life regular people casually being horrible cunts to each other, though I think they were probably just going for "shut up and obey".
>Also they are mostly developed by full time paid employees with zero community involvement.

No. Both of them have a good mix of community contributors to do the fun stuff, and paid employees to do the annoying tasks no one wants to do for free. A good project needs both. Are you really suggesting that another desktop is somehow going to spring up and succeed with no paid employees and no business case? If what you're saying is true, wouldn't that have already happened and left GNOME and KDE in the dust long ago?

>You don't pay for functionality you don't need.

You actually do if you're maintaining the X server and protocol.

>Wayland has glaring flaws because it does not provide and standardize functionality that people need.

These can be fixed by extending the protocol, unlike in X11 where the flaws can't be fixed because they're built into the core.

>It also has severe technical flaws like implicit sync which makes all your application stutter when one application has high GPU load.

This is actually a kernel/driver problem. It also happens in X11 if you use a driver with implicit sync.

>Great, so there is a regular organic and efficient clean up process happening that keeps the unused or unpopular stuff out of X11. There shouldn't be much "old cruft" around then. If this is the case, why do we need Wayland?

No that's not what's happening either. Lots of current X11 extensions (such as Big Requests, XC Misc, XFixes, XSync) actually exist only to paper over old cruft in the core protocol that can never be removed. It's possible to remove other extensions from the core and still keep the core intact. When the core X11 protocol itself becomes unused and unpopular (which it is) then it's time to remove the whole thing.

In my first programming job I learnt Vim , simply because I saw other people doing it and thought it looked cool. I feel doing the same remotely would be tricky. Even if I learnt of it, how would I ever quit Vim and switch back to Slack?
They built cuda and embedded it as a foundational technology through university partnerships and generally paying attention to developers. Wrote documentation, talked about their tech a lot, generally made the onboarding broadly work.

They then had the good fortune that their competitors tried to leverage open source and cross company collaboration. While misc open source winning is sometimes thing, the industry built all their stuff on cuda instead of opencl or openmp.

Nvidia thus built their gold mine.

I don't think it's impenetrable. There are some design mistakes baked into their system that are going to be difficult to unravel without breaking backwards compatibility.

Depends if it's for work or personal.

For personal use, yes, as I do have a poke around in the source code as well its immediate project artefacts and community (if exists) to get an idea of project health and trustworthiness.

For work, not necessarily. I'd want to go for the most convenient option possible, that comes close to requirements and has a sufficient popularity. In some cases that might be an open source project, but even then it might be paid for by virtue of being managed by AWS, for example.
I try to avoid sarcasm. I try to respond dispassionately and to pick one key part of their argument and say why I disagree with it. Or if I think they are being unhelpful with their tone, I tell them so.

I do use sarcasm sometimes, but I feel like it is generally an attempt to score a win in an argument, not to persuade. And I’m not generally trying to persuade the person I am responding to, but the lurkers who read the comments.
Come now, an Audi RS3 is a pretty specialized car. I'll go months between seeing any of the RS models, I remember distinctly the last one I saw: an RS5 at Whole Foods 2-3 months ago. Autotrader lists 138 of them for sale (new and used) in the entire USA. So, yes, that is going to be something that the average car-buying experience isn't going to apply to.

That said, I do see 7 of them used within 50 miles of Maryland zip 21278, I'm sure one of them would at least let you sit in one and probably drive it.
The semantics are literally "it's the same as copy-pasting it where it's used". It doesn't get simpler than this.

There are much more things going on in the module system that you'd have to know about if you care about what's actually going on.

I live in rural western pa. There are no charging stations. Simple answer here: I'm not buying an EV then. Charging at home is not enough.
I want that too! But things need to be easy to use if we want to hear from the people who are just X nerds and not X nerds and computer nerds. I think that's something ads enabled, because it made it valuable to just have a lot of people show up, which paid for all the work that went into making showing up easy.
I have gum regression. My ex wife was a dental assistant and screamed at me to get a mouth guard. I dragged my feet on it forever because it was $500. I tried an over the counter guard, but would just spit it out in my sleep. I finally caved in a couple of years ago once the regression became enough that I now have tooth sensitivity, and the regression has finally halted. However I’m stuck with what I’ve got, short of doing gum grafting surgery to transplant tissue around the more troublesome spots. It’s not fun or cheap.

Don’t mess around when it comes to your teeth. Floss, brush twice a day, drop bad habits like smoking and excessive soda drinking, and if you grind your teeth, get the damned mouth guard. It only gets more painful and expensive to fix (if even possible) if you ignore it.
Also the reason why a given product is even endorsed or even put in the sidebar of a given subreddit, is often from a concerted advertising campaign users are simply blind to.
I hadn't heard of the Hiroshima's per second before. That sounds like the kind of metric that might change a few minds.

Denialists won't listen to anything anyway, but I think there's probably a lot of people who hear 1 or 2 degrees (globally) and just think meh, doesn't sound so bad.
It sounds like they have behavior-oriented rules that are just always triggered on Tor because Tor traffic has a disproportionate amount of bot traffic. I see no reason why behavioral blocking breaks down when an attack comes from an IP space that is usually more benign.

> How many of us deal with automated password attacks is to issue questions that only locals or people with specific knowledge could answer. Change the questions and do everything custom.

If I'm understanding what you're saying, this sounds horrible. What if I'm visiting an area where I don't have local knowledge? What about for the year or so after I move in to a new city? What if your assessment of what locals do and don't know is just wrong? There are a ridiculous number of failure modes in this questions-oriented approach. The only place this could possibly make sense is in some sort of internal company software, but even that context has better options available.
No one is convinced of that (well, in my thread at least), quit strawmaning.

I want to pay for what i use. Definitely. I struggle to see how a few dozen videos in hosting fees and possible ad revenue accounts to $14/m. It's insulting, upcharged, loaded with data mining and obfuscated for extreme profit in my assumption.

If they want to use ads as a justification for paying, great - show me how much i owe. How me how much money they missed out on by ads and i'll pay that happily. That also directly correlates to content creators, which is a win win.
This is a disingenuous comment at best.

As explained in the docs you link to, Postgres has both synchronous and asynchronous replication modes.

In asynchronous mode availability is favored over durability. Which means commits can get lost when the primary goes down in an uncontrolled fashion.

In sync mode that will not happen at a cost to some performance.

It’s the same trade-off any distributed system has to make, and the user gets to make the choice.
They don’t go wrong. It’s an electric motor instead of a reciprocating machine that explodes 100 times per second, combines water cooling and oil lubrication.

That said, car and driver reports that the yearly costs were about the same for a Tesla because of the price of fixing things like a broken windshield.
> Some one who pays upfront likely can afford and might have higher lifetime value. Someone to advertise to, upsell, or whatever.

100%. Richer people tend to be better customers. But that's another strike in favor of geoblocking non-US visitors.

When I was a kid growing up in Africa, I dreamt of a world where everything was accessible and purchasable and learnable everywhere, all the time, to everyone. Hopefully the internet turns out to be an equalizing factor and we get there someday.

Right now it's not really fair to expect business owners - most of whom are in non-tech businesses that require 100% focus - to keep up with the tidal wave of scams, hackers, and regulators originating from outside their sphere of concern.
So when companies are dumping so much hazardous pollutants into local water so that the river catches fire[1], who's responsibility is it to deal with that?

> You think we are physically unable to build an asteroid defense?

Mate the dino-nuking asteroid that hit Earth was 10km in diameter. Even if we launched every nuke we had at such an object, it wouldn't do much to deter such an object. And that's assuming it's moving at a low enough fraction of c that we could actually detect such an object in time to mobilize all said nukes.

So, no, I don't think we would be able to defend ourselves today (nor by 2100, let's say) against such an adversary. Same deal with any species that is sophisticated enough to do interstellar travel. For them it's even easier, they can just pick up a few rocks from Kuiper belt, stick some mass drivers on them and it's bye-bye Earth within a few weeks/months.

> (and we are doing a lot)

The point is we're not. We haven't even reached peak fossil fuel yet. Even if we stopped everything tomorrow, things would still keep getting worse for at least another few decades. But as it is we're reading today about how bad we made things for ourselves in the 80s. Since then our consumption has only continued to accelerate, which can only mean things will be even worse tomorrow.

> but if the counter to everything is: not enough, doomed anyway

No. That's not what I or anyone else in this thread has been saying.

It's like this. We are on the Titanic. Some very clever people have charted our course and done ocean sonographs and determined there's a big-ass iceberg ahead. Many folks like you are insisting either a) there's no iceberg or b) icebergs are good for ship hulls or c) we'll out-technology the iceberg somehow and thus we don't need to worry about the iceberg. So right now all we've done is ACCELERATE towards the iceberg. If there was sensible suggestions like "let's alter our course slightly" I wouldn't be saying "well that still puts us on course for the iceberg so there's no point". I would be saying "great! that's a start!".
Give me this internet, please.
> Media literacy is a subject kids need to be learning right along with reading clocks and handwriting.

Agreed. It's done in some places.

> semiotics course

Such topics are sneered at now, but post-modernism was built as a response, in a sense, to WWII propaganda. It's the propagandists who are threatened by it, and somehow seem to have benefitted from - if not pushed - everyone unilaterally disarming.

Also: I looked into the origin of that quote and as far as I know, it's attributed to many different people (the version I heard: 'I don't know who discovered water, but it wasn't a fish.').

Advertising is sometimes attributed to the The Commitee on Public Information (or the 'Creel Committee'), a US government group that produced propaganda for WWI, pre-Nazi.
This is the operative question. I think the answer can only be greed.
There is a bit in "Who killed the electric car?" about how GM EV1 was different from gas cars in that way. It made the "grease-covered mechanic" basically history. They are very clean vehicles to work on.

What’s stopping you from defining the gaps as individual entries in your template?

First column ‘fr’ gap ‘15px’ second column ‘fr’ gap ‘30px’ third column ‘fr’ and now you have three equal columns with two different gaps?
My dad had a ton of 123 files on a secondary laptop with an ancient Windows version, just because these had important information that he still needed to look at from time to time. I was a bit worried about the resiliency of this setup, to put it mildly.

Recently I realized that LibreOffice could convert Lotus files to ODF/ODS files, even in the CLI, so I made a very simple bash script to convert them all, and bulk uploaded them on my Nextcloud with Collabora, and gave my dad a login and a crash course. So now he can look up his files online, and they get properly backed up as part of my normal routine on the server.

Big tip of the hat to data archeologists like OP and the LibreOffice contributors.
> you're being a coward, not stupid

It would seem the whole setup of the experiment is designed to rule out personal courage. The question isn't "would you fight a terrorist" to save five people, or would you climb a dangerous mountain, or swim a violent stream, or defeat some incel with a machine gun...

The question is "would you flip a switch", and the subtext is "with zero risk to yourself". How does flipping a switch become an act of courage and not flipping an act of cowardice.

Also, movies. I don't think there's one (successful) movie where the hero voluntarily and coldly sacrifices even one completely innocent and unrelated individual, in order to save any number of people. When the hero kills someone, every movie goes to great lengths to explain that person somehow deserved it or was an enemy.

In movies, it's the villains who are utilitarians. That should tell us something.
Part of the justification is the lack of optimism that file extensions could be mandated (I'm less pessimistic).

But it's also an important hint to the preprocessor to make pre-build dependency scanning faster. You don't want to have to compile all possible source files and then throw a bunch of that work away once you find there are module dependencies in the source files. Just having a magic file extension is not enough to clarify that.

A C++ packaging standard could help there, but C++ started with modules, probably because they seemed simpler.
Well.

I thought that this was possible because Cloudflare eliminated cold start delays.

So there's no RAM reserved either, I guess.

( can someone correct me if I'm wrong?)
I was hoping to see something along the lines of ASL recognition. I strongly suspect that (an extension of) ASL could be an excellent way to interact with VR UIs. ASL natively exploits spatial context, which is what initially piqued my interest. Sadly this is an extremely difficult problem to solve.

As a bonus more people would learn ASL.
Lots of the southeast and probably elsewhere. In Kentucky and west Virginia, it's common to see black license plates on cars with a "coal keeps the lights on" slogan. People pay extra for them.

People here seem to be fundamentally incapable of considering the future in any capacity. Climate issues aside, we're simply going to run out of coal at some point. I'd wonder what those people think will happen then, but I know they just don't even consider it a possibility. Or at most it's a problem for a future generation that clearly doesn't concern them.

As I said, the module system in C++20 is literally the Microsoft model.

Clang had another model that was rejected, and most of the years in committee were actually about finding a compromise between Microsoft's and Clang's approach. In the end, Clang wasn't particularly happy about the end result either.
Those are not the only options available to writers. There's any number of things they could do.

The most obvious solution is to not describe these products at all. Frankly, they're irrelevant. There's no actual need to describe this extraneous stuff. Conserve detail. Attention is better spent in other areas such as the actual date and the feelings being experienced.

3. “After bringing my date to see a film she really wanted to watch, we picked up a pair of sun glasses at the mall and a new top across the plaza. It was really fun shopping with her. Some celebrity was debuting a new product line and she got really excited about it but all I could think about was how cute she looked.”

If you must describe products, invent fictitious brands. Just make them up on the spot. Better than advertising for free.
