I don't think I understand your point, but I'm open to trying to understand?

You mention that they are bad for different reasons but I think my reasons for opposing them to identical. They are fundamentally evil ideologies (Marxism and Fascism) and they also have each been implemented in a way that each resulted in the mass murder of millions (Nazis and Communists).

Edit: Forgot the article 'the' article in the last sentence.
Is this where the daily Apple hate thread is occurring?
If you think about them in isolation, maybe.

But you have to apply them to DOM. Where every single little thing results in a re-layout and repaint. There are reasons why you still can't animate height: auto.

The built-in controls also don't help. Can't find it now, but details set display:none or visibility:none on closed contents, and that can't be animated.

And there are a million such things.
> we think that superhuman, in it's current implementation is vim-like.

What does this mean? Superhuman has AI integration, an expensive subscription model, is built with Electron¹, is backed by VC money, and a bunch of other things to arguably dislike and actively avoid. It seems like the polar opposite of vim.

> and expand it into something more vscode-like.

Again, what does this mean? Are you going to add even more telemetry to something that’s supposed to be private?

I’m really struggling to see how the comparison applies. You do know vim isn’t dead? People still use and love it, and with good reason.

¹ If I recall correctly.
I am positive they are.

I am also positive they have not been caught doing it. If they are, I will have a similar, likely higher, level of outrage.

Yes, but it would take way longer and my apartment building doesn't have stables.

There are instances of books being burned for pragmatic, non-ideological reasons. But generally, reactionary ideology seems to top the charts.

You might be in a rural area. I haven’t seen a live horse for a good couple of years. Of course they exist and people enjoy riding them. But the post above was indicating they’re not everywhere like they used to be (like cars today).
>Countries where this doesn’t exist, free speech often leads to devastating results

Never anything as bad as the murder of tens of millions of their own citizens committed in countries with no free speech like Stalin's Russia and Mao's China.

>It absolutely works. There’s a reason Nazi propaganda is banned in Germany

If that's your metric for success it's absolutely failed, given the "Alternative for Deutschland" is now polling at over 20%.

Yeah, it is still a relatively small increase considering all your other bills, and rent, and food, and etc. what are you estimating the monthly budget to be for these small apartments?

60EUR a month is also pretty cheap for a hobby. If you can't count on your parents for even that level of support you might be better of getting emancipated.
> essentially laundering the peon's opinions

That's more than a bit unfair. They're generally taking in information from the entire workforce, including management, and they're analyzing the whole picture. Trivializing it by describing it as "purify the unclean words of the lowers so that the high priests might hear them" is not accurate. What they're ostensibly providing is unbiased and potentially more competent judgement/analysis of information that the company already has (and really, it'd be weird if the company didn't already have the information, right?). Sure, in practice the bias and competence aspects deserve an asterisk (by virtue of being compensated by an organization, consultants have many of the same biases of the people who are also compensated by said organization, and there's a Dunning-Kreuger problem with hiring either employees or consultants to compensate for competence), but consultants are absolutely in a position to provide the value they are paid for.
There's always a more complicated model.
Likewise; this ticks so many boxes for me, but as a hippy-dippy non-gmail user I too have to second the IMAP/JMAP ask.

Gmail absolutely hits that sweet spot of API capabilities and where the users are, so I can’t fault the project creators (or most every email client business these days) for building first (or exclusively) for it.

That said, seeing Outlook as coming soon on their login page is reassuring that they’re building in a way that won’t tie them to Gmail forever. And while few email providers outside of Fastmail are offering JMAP support, as an API it’s much closer to the degree of functionality expected by anyone building on top of Gmail’s API today. A great new client that gives a big section of the public a better way to “do email” might be what it takes for more services to start offering JMAP.

So hats off to y’all and fingers crossed on incorporating open standards.
"I am happy that the company made their product slightly more profitable for them by making peoples' health worse. Screw the government!"

So you concede those types of emmisions pollution were harmful, but seem to be suggesting that cheating modern emissions standards wouldn't be? That two forms of pollution were bad but we should default to assuming other forms are harmless?
It's probably unpopular and a boo hiss reaction on HN but I don't encourage this even though I did the same thing as a teen.

The electricity cost of this is almost certainly at best $20+ per month.

While there is a cool factor here, that is the main benefit. If you can scrape together enough money for a server, you can get a cash card and sign up for several years of a $5mo VPS. The VPS will probably teach you a whole lot more real knowledge than a home server due to it tackling many of the real world problems that come up in tech.
IMHO, this is the difference between the Berkshire Hathaway model and the Apple model.

Good leaders should probably invest a lot of time in developing a deep and talented pipeline of other good leaders, so that the current leader can be replaced.

Bad (but still effective) leaders leave the company flying off the edge of a cliff without a successor when they exit. Usually because they played politics and blocked anyone's rise who could challenge them. (See: PLO)
Why does it have to be EXACTLY the same as Russia and North Korea to still be repression of journalism?

It's a fact that there is a repression, albeit of a different kind. Yes, instead of outright telling them what to write, the American way is to first buy up the media, put a pro-them editor in charge, and operate from there. And yes, they allow fringe journalism to exist, but stifle it so much with their money pumped own networks to make it not relevant.

So yes, Russia/China/North Korea deal differently with the free press than America. However, the results are pretty much the same: crippled journalism which doesn't have the bite to bring those in power to justice or even to scrutiny.

Assange's imprisonment and made up charges show us that, while Americans try to play nice and let money talk most of the time, if you step over the line, they are not beyond on going all KGB on you, much like their Cyrillic speaking counterparts.
It doesn't have much to do (in the U.S.) with diesel anything. Most people probably don't even know anything about it. VW cars are just more boring now.

I've had good success adding various utility and ventilation feed throughs in rentals with sliding glass door inserts, including large ducts for various HVAC experiments.

I start with a board and cut/slot it so it fits neatly into the top and bottom tracks, then I move the latch receiver to the board, zip a few screws through the board where the holes won't be noticed.

The glass door opening becomes a bit narrower, and I can cut as many holes as I want in that little bit of wall.

If it's painted white it usually ends up looking better than most of the corporate maintenance work on the building.

Not really. Germany, Austria, etc. have a "labor shortage" so they rubber stamp just about any work visa.

Or, you emigrate as a university student, that's what most do to get around the stricter labor visa rules, and you can easily find a non-top-10% university that will accept anyone to study something easy like "English studies". As long as you pay the tuition fee(very low in most EU countries), nobody will ask you anything.

My American mate who emigrated here for welfare, doesn't work officially, just enrolls in a new university every 2-3 years as an "English student" to get his visa renewed and earns a living by doing private English lessons for cash on the side, and there's others like him as well.

So if you know the system and the loopholes, it's pretty easy to exploit. Talking to Bosnians, Indians, and other non-EU immigrants, the more I learn about the various exploits.
Well, if the CCP follows the same approach it uses for TikTok, i.e. spread the poison abroad but keep it away from our own people, this will not affect games in the West.

In fact why wouldn't the CCP want Tencent and Co to milk foreigners with predatory, addictive gambling schemes? That just means more wealth/power transfer to China.

I think this is supposed to read "it seems plausible that we can reach our target of crawling three million pages a day."
The story is set in the early days of Wikipedia, when awareness of its power and restraints on manipulation were much weaker.

As a wiki admin myself, what I found unbelievable is the length to which they supposedly went to maintain the subterfuge. Most sock puppets and PR flacks are glaringly obvious.
I never really understood why anyone wants to maintain LRU properties in caches. It doesn't make sense today and it didn't make sense decades ago, either. You do need some rational basis for eviction, but ranking your hot set on every access was always just weird. I am glad this is being fixed in the literature lately.
Here in The Netherlands for classrooms we have regulations that aim for a classroom to stay below 950ppm CO2. I think almost every high school kid can remember how drowsy a full, poorly ventilated classroom would get.

Like I said I’m usually a scientific man but this is such a basic thing that anyone with any daily life experience would immediately recognize this 4000ppm (or whatever) as wrong.

Humans are also quite sensitive to noticing when a room is “stuffy”, so, yeah.
The day I was able to upgrade my 'shoebox' 110 baud modem to a 300 baud modem was the day I thought "I'll never need this kind of speed, but it's nice to have."

Thanks for posting about this documentary. I ran a BBS from 1983-1986 on a Commodore 64, a 1200 baud modem and 5 1541 floppy drives. An amazing time for this technology.
in mass market liability, it is common to make the "brand holder" financially responsible for complex products. The "brand holder" in simple terms, is the company that owns the trademark that is advertised to consumers. So I imagine that is the case here - "Cummins" company is held financially responsible for the complicated mix of parts. Note also that the company itself may be in layers of holding companies, arms-length ownership or other obfuscation..

This would of course be bad for the owners of shops who...also service the town's police vehicles. I know at least one shop owner who would have a free hand in town to burn literal peat in his truck, and none of the cops would stop him if they liked riding in their Tahoes.
Speaking of line numbers, does anyone know why DECSYSTEM 10's and DECSYSTEM 20's BASIC had a "LISTREVERSE" command?

Yes, it actually did exactly what it sounds like!

Chalk one up for DEC and BASIC. What other programming languages support that feature, huh?

Now all you need is a COMEFROM and COMESUB and RUNREVERSE (or NUR) statements, and you can write reversible BASIC programs!

That you are listening to some pop-science radios?
Because they didn't invest time and effort in the means to acquire that wealth, which is the thing most wealthy people are truly afraid to lose.

Professional licensing (e.g. MD), social network and reputation, political power.

Giving someone even a lot of cash doesn't tie them to "the system" in the way that those things do.
It depends on the context. In all of the discussions I've had on this topic, the quality people are concerned with is the performance of a company as an investment. In that sense, consulting does not scale. Sure, you can build a big, mildly profitable, consulting company, but that isn't very interesting to most folks.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide aren't anti-addiction drugs; they manage blood sugar and modify the body's experience of hunger during the metabolic process. When you take these injections, you become "full" more quickly and remain satiated for longer periods after eating caloric food or drink.

Having been on both medications, this same feeling of fullness does not apply to low-calorie drinks like coffee, tea or diet soda, or very low calorie foods (I'm confident I could still tuck into a substantial salad of greens, although likely not with a rich dressing). Surprisingly, small amounts of "keto" alcohols don't trigger the reaction, although beer, wine and mixed drinks with sugary mixes certainly do.

These drugs appear to change the body's regulation of blood sugar, processing of caloric material in the gut, and signalling of those processes to the brain, but almost certainly will not work as a generic psychological or anti-addiction medication. It's just not about compulsion or obsession. It's about feeling full, physically.

[Edit: there have been some articles that state that these medications cut down on "food noise" mentally. My experience is that these medications cut down on thinking about needing to eat food generically due to the substantial reduction of hunger they create, but that thoughts of flavors or specific foods that would be pleasant to eat are unchanged. I still enjoy cooking, I just know I would not be able to eat as much of the resulting meal before being full.]
None of your links support your claim.
> Worse than even what you quoted, many people "roll coal" specifically to blast peds, cyclists, Prius drivers, etc with exhaust fumes.

Are you saying they are using smoke signals to express a divergence in political opinions?

Then I'd say is some kind of speech, and therefore should be protected.

Regulating manufacturing is one thing, but using laws against people using what they have bought to do what they want with it is where I draw the line.

Another example is WIFI firmwares: regulate companies as much as you like, but I want to modify my devices as much as I want to operate in the unregulated spectrum.
BBS's are mostly a pre-web thing (and were largely divorced from the internet--for which you basically had to work for a small number of companies or universities to get on) so this documentary from @textfiles is a valuable piece of pre-web computer history. BBS's were a pretty important part of my early computer experience once PC's came out.
If they do it right, it might make me switch from Android. I've never used iOS before and the only thing I'm able to use Google assistant for is setting alarms, and it can't even delete the alarm I created just now.
Good. It's almost as bad as not returning a value from a function being a warning and not an error.
Apple can screw up, no question. But they don’t do the two-year hype cycle thing that just about everyone else does in technology (or video games).

It’s incredibly rare for Apple to publicly talk about things that won’t be selling extremely soon.

The iPhone had to be pronounced because it was going to show up on the FCC website, and obviously Apple wanted to control the message. I suspect the Vision Pro may be similar, but they also wanted developers to start getting ready so they would have software day one.

The only thing I can think of that Apple pre-announced and failed at was the Air Power mat. They said it would be coming out soon after and had to push that a couple times before finally canceling it.

Other than that small exception, if modern (post jobs return) Apple announces something is coming, it will come out and be quite close to what they say.

They don’t pull a Humane AI, Segway, Cyberpunk 2077, or No Man’s Sky.
You are right. Here is the source of "compress" that existed at that time. It compresses the produced song to 1048 bytes, not less.

So there’s different levels of bullshit right ?

Quantum has a level of bullshit where an enterprise could tell a customer their systems will solve P=NP. Clearly we don’t have information theory that supports that: we can only solve BQP better with them.

The industry has customers with use cases proven for BQP with restricted quantum computers ready to go. The linked article leans to saying that’s not going to be true, but the companies out there building contradict this and say their customers will be ready to pull the trigger on billions in quantum compute in the next 2-3 years at most.

It could be another Tesla with self driving perpetually 2-4 years out. But look at waymo, clearly tech changes happen

With what people are accomplishing today certainly seems closer to reality. But nobody has really shown us just yet
