"Deathrider" (Omen)

Death rider, you've taken the earth by storm

Death rider, out of sin and hatred you were born

Ride against the wind, shameless killer in the night

Rape another village, before the break of light

Trample down the ashes, grind them with your hate

Take another helpless life, before it's too late

"Harder than Steel" (Jag Panzer)

You put their heads on the grinding wheel

Give 'em hell 'cause you're harder than steel

Oh, you're harder than steel, yeah, ya feel

All for yourself and no one else

Now of course you can say its just two examples, but it seems to be a decent representative of common themes in power metal lyrics. Obviously the best way to find out would be performing a similar data analysis as the article.

edit: These are both famous power metal bands, in case there was a feeling they were from any other genre:

> This is what I was talking about: you’re talking about the DOM but describing things like layout and rendering.

Ah yes, because layout and rendering are absolutely divorced from DOM and have nothing to do with it :)

> that’s never going to catch up with WebGL for the kinds of simple things you’re focused on - displaying a rectangle which doesn’t affect its peers other than transparency is a really tuned fast path with hardware acceleration

You will never catch up with anything. It's amazing how people keep missing the point on purpose even if they eventually almost literally repeat what I write word for word, and find no issues with that.

Here are your words: "The web is centered on documents and text layout". Yes, yes it is. And it's barely usable for that. But then we've added lots of haphazard hacks on top of it. The rest I wrote here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39485437
Sad days
Private ownership of land and capital is also enforced at the barrel of a gun, lol.

When monopolies are common, every business school student openly aspires to rent-seeking moats, and regulators snore more loudly every day, the claims that the private market is checked by competition frequently ring hollow. The big difference between public and private sector is that the private sector has literally entitled themselves to this rent seeking behavior, while it's only a metaphor in the public sector.

Don't get me wrong, I think competition is a brilliant principle and I think markets are the place to make it happen, I just think that strong anticompetitive forces are common natural occurrences in free markets and I think that the government should play a stronger role in checking them.

They may still catch up with us. The way it’s going with social media and internet addiction and LLM hallucinations, maybe they actually do have a shot. :)
That function of colleges is still very much alive. As part of being an accredited college with accredited programs, most kids are required to take courses in the liberal arts, even for science degrees. And a college education is a very strong indicator of a person’s support for fascism in America as opposed to our democratic norms. Still a very worthwhile endeavor that should be more accessible to more people financially.
They don’t necessarily want thoughtful answers, they want answers that provide them information about the candidate. Sending the questions in advance would ruin that.
Not "turn off you mind" but "ignore your doubts"
"Besides, the original criticism of Scuttlebutt was "it will never catch on because it has a silly name", not "it will make money". By making it about "making money" you are moving the goalposts a bit, aren't you? "

Operating a social global network, even decentralized, is not possible without money, if you are aiming to get mainstream adoption(which was the main question/goal here). But you are very welcome, to proof me wrong.
Not really a helpful comment in either content or tone. Biden and Trump are marketedly different in both major policies and governing competence, and it doesn't help the discourse to say that they're just "marching against the same goal."
my understanding from the article is that they're working specifically w/ breast cancer, so probably easier w/ females
You can suffer from depression and procrastinate. Procrastination is an emotional response.

Was solved for me by getting fired, but I lucked out and my career improved significantly because of that event. Hope you find a path forward, you will survive.
There's more to it than that. That's the behaviour of protecting your dungeon. See the example of the bus company in Ontario.
I won't say this is a good representation of every european country, but in France, basically two bilionary own all mainstream private press media, the rich class basically built Macron to push their agenda, and most important laws anyway come from Europe transpositions where only those that can build a perpetual lobby service can push a topic into a directive.

So yes obviously Europe is a paradise of direct democracy where every citizen bloom thanks to a social structure made to help each of them thrive and reach the best version of themselves acting everyday for an harmonious society free of any anxiety about future that promise only bright shiny days for the masses and their children.
Great ideas

> extortion?

Yup: Looks like there is an industry
with a standard operating pattern:

Form a public interest group. Find an
issue, e.g., a claim of a big threat, some
version of the old the sky is falling.

To put over the issue: For evidence for
the threat, scientific is not necessary;
anecdotal is sufficient. Celebrity
endorsement can help.

Get the media hungry for content on-board:
Have them gang up, pile on, form a mob,
publish shocking content, get credibility
for the group and the issue via one for
all, all for one, write click-bait
headlines. Then the media gets eyeballs
and ad revenue.

The group gets publicity, credibility,
donations, goes for legislation and
appropriations which help the group,
result in campaign contributions, maybe
cushy jobs.

Make use of a fact of life in politics:
One percent of the voters making a big
noise can scare politicians more than the
other 99% not much concerned.

I.e., there is "extortion" -- objecting to
the issue can result in getting hurt.

But eventually too many of that 99% find
reasons not to like the issue, and it
dies.

Repeat with another group/issue.

The time I saw it go down I appreciated the honesty and candor at the end..
it was made clear that 'they preferred to provide value by being entertaining for a time and wanted money for doing a 'fun thing'.. yet they had many times before.. and during the current interaction, had many opportunities to take advantage of the distracting situation to take everything, and would be happy taking less if it was offered..

while nodding to others who were nearby that they could stand down since it appeared a charity/entertainment tax was going to be paid instead of needing to be taken..

That's the vibe I ran into there.. I'm sure it varies depending on who is involved..

Several lessons.. one of which is I carry a 20, a 10, and a couple of 5's in one pocket so I can hand over cash in any situation without pulling out a wallet - which is easy to snatch / grab..

Also be aware of anyone who wants to take your attention to a small place, like staring at your shoes and their hands near that spot, so you don't know what's going on around you..

So I didn't mind handing over a few bucks for the candor, but I can see how it gets worse, and likely also changes upon time of day / night.
KDE4 was latter half of 00's. Oh, the bitter memories of having your CPU and memory getting hogged by the mysterious daemon called Akonadi. Or was it Nepomuk? At that time, many waved away concerns that Linux was simply using the unused memory for caching stuff, which is why the resource usage viewer displayed very small free memory amount, so they say. Well, that didn't explain the excessive swap thrashing that was occurring in the background.

Hunted for workarounds only to find out that disabling the above services also disables some essential desktop features, and made me rethink whether the switch from GNOME 3 was worth it. Sure, GNOME 3 had horrible UX, but at least my PC still had resources to do other stuffs then. But I sure missed GNOME 2 at that time.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Where are the hashes tracked?
From the perspective of most people belonging to those groups, the major battles are all won and they have much bigger cocerns in their day to day lives. These groups know that, so they have to keep manufacturing outrage in order to stay relevant.
It feels similar to the way agile development sometimes ossifies into rigid processes that defeat the purpose.

Humans just seem wired to want to find “the solution” and the call things done.
> There is nothing “dangerous” about this if you know the behavior.

There’s nothing dangerous about any functionality in any language if you know the behavior. Not that I’m saying this is a particularly dangerous functionality of Ruby (coming mostly from other dynamic/scripting languages, it seems refreshingly explicit if nothing else), but I don’t think expertise in usage of a footgun is what should determine whether it’s a footgun.
> Is the idea that you’re supposed to provide good discussion of the pros and cons, and so show some experience? That sounds like you’ll just hire people who had similar experience to you.

This depends far more on the interviewers listening skills, open mindedness and maturity. Obvious everyone has their biases, but good interviewers (especially for senior positions) need to be able to evaluate how someone with different skills and perspectives will be additive to the team.
Plastic recycling isn't the only kind of recycling...
I don't think your memory of the Intel bug[1] is correct. It had nothing to do with the inherent precision problems of floating point representation.

EDIT: Another way to put it: If I sold a calculator that claimed to do math, but in the fine print I said "Actually, it just makes up answers by some means we don't fully understand, and somehow most of the time it comes up with the right answer." That doesn't mean that incorrect answers are suddenly not defects.

Bottled Water Contains Far More Microplastics Than Assumed
I dread what other obsessive compulsive framework will replace it once it's gone to keep the consumer self inquisition busy. I vote for it staying.. The horror you know..
I used to believe that any organization who takes morality seriously must fund it's equal and opposite organization. It would serve as a foil, collecting unhappy customer stories and potentially turning them into lawsuits. The second organization's stated goal is to end the first organization. But after a moment's thought, the Shirky Principle clearly makes this unworkable - both orgs want to survive, so the second org will, in general, tend to shirk its duties (so to speak) and function merely as a private welfare scheme and a cloak of respectability for the first.
I was under the impression that we would need extremely large particle colliders to test theories of quantum gravity? This article makes it seem as though there has been some great leap in technology to make this type of measurement possible?
Yes, that's true.

However, my first reason for doing it this way is that I want to be able to see at a glance whether or not there's Spring in my class.

I look at the import list and ask myself: Is this code doing what it says? Or is Spring going to attempt (and possibly fail) some behind-the-back magic (subject to the order in which annotations are declared in some unrelated package?)

I want to be able to look at my business logic, and know it's going to do what's written in the file. It is not worth it to me to including @Component (in an otherwise non-Spring class) to make instantiation slightly more streamlined[*].

The second reason is that of needless coupling. People change frameworks - or more accurately - people don't change frameworks, because they declare that they'll never need to, then couple themselves tightly to one framework, then when a new better framework comes along, they don't change because it would be too much work, because of all the coupling. So their prediction that they'll never change framework is self-fulfilling.

[*] I also don't want the streamlined instantiation. The IOC container is shared global state, and @Singleton used to be a known antipattern. At work we are currently migrating between Kafka providers, and some of the hardest work I've had to do in the last year has been cutting our singletons apart. The original developer's assumption would be that there's one kind of EventReader and one kind of ConfigFactory and one kind of Config, etc. That idea is spread across (no joke) 60+ repositories. I just want to _new_ one Kafka consumer with config, and _new_ another consumer with a different config.*
Recycling is an industry psyop to convince the public that plastic can be consumed ethically and sustainably. Unless we ban disposable plastics altogether, the problem will only get worse. Plastic has only been around for 100 years; imagine just how bad things will be in 500.

The scenarios in which UB can happen aren't actually well defined by the standards. They're just the negative space outside the constraints. I'll grant that most of the useful scenarios are listed though.

Time travel and inconsistency also prevent the "do_anything()" model from working. There is no consistent behavior in the presence of UB, and the program is not even guaranteed to be translated correctly leading up to that point.

As for running sanitizers on defined operations, all you would need to do is add a new kind of behavior alongside implementation defined, unspecified, and UB with defined behavior that it's explicitly illegal to rely on. You could also treat unspecified in this way, though I'd need to think how dangerous that is.

Speaking of sanitizers, most certified compilers don't actually support them. I've unsuccessfully tried to convince a couple vendors that they're important and even gave them an appropriate bare metal runtime to use if only they'd do the work of calling it. No luck.

> if you squint, maybe they're kinda the same.

Clearly you’re both in agreement.
The whole point is that it's a qualitatively different kind of failure, it's not quantitative. Wikipedia doesn't hallucinate. It can be wrong, sure, but it doesn't do what LLMs do when they go off the rails. So there should be a word that applies to LLM output but not a person or article that's simply wrong.
I didn’t see a moral judgment against striking, just an observation that the elaborate systems set up to collect trash sometimes end up intentionally not collecting trash.
Sounds like the parent is enjoying his chosen life path even more? Or certainly more than paying for 4 years at MIT.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have rich enough parents to get a full ride, or to have poor enough parents to qualify for a free ride.
The problem isn't search, though, it's the financialization of attention and the utter perversion of search into a mass-manipulation and surveillance economy. Plenty of people, perhaps with a belief that advertising is fundamentally immoral, prophesied the decline of freedom and agency that the capital-capture of tech in the post-millenial period would yield.

And now we have new gods, far worse than the old ones, promising comfort and excess for the privileged-few willing to prioritize their simian self-interest and acquisitive avarice in exchange for developing these anti-human systems.

It was easy to see in the 90s that the growth of networked multimedia would fundamentally change society. Perhaps it was futile to dream that we could loosen concentrated-capital's grip on culture and build a post-scarcity society through the collective strength universal access to information and communication could engender. What is the value of life in a world which perpetuates misery to maintain a society of serfs and slaves in a paradoxical fugue of hypervigilant pursuit of a neurochemical facade that poorly replicates the stability, agency, and creation our wondrous biological machines crave?

We possess, as human animals, the ability to envision and build a societal organism that is driven by more elevated principles than "kill or be killed" and "got mine, fuck you." The notion that we can evolve beyond suffering as the default state, and that we should, is in conflict with the structures we built to reward the preferential displacement of suffering from those whose small, myopic desires of individual aggrandizement and domination drives their delusions, to those who would toil in search of survival through shared humanity.

There's still hope but I increasingly believe that humans can only survive long-term by removing our simian impulses from the control loop. When we reach that point, will we build a casino or a garden?
Respective quote from the study (was too long for title):

> We estimate that the exposure to the micro-nano plastics from regular bottled water was at the level of 10^5 particles per liter, which is two to three orders of magnitude more than the previously reported results merely focusing on large microplastics [...]
I totally agree with that. In the past they may have had manifestos and explicit demands. You were either on board or you weren't.

Nowadays they seem to deal more in narratives.
> I don't get this obsession with skipping college.

From a political standpoint, many colleges are "liberal" institutions, and people don't want to be involved with that.
NeXTSTEP did it best. You could bring up a copy of the menu by right-clicking on the desktop. No movement and no accuracy required.
As you work in tech for a number of years you discover that (a) employers don't become permanently more loyal or generous to you if you "work your ass off" and (b) working long hours doesn't actually make you more productive overall anyway. I suspect one reason for ageism in the industry is that management are too inexperienced themselves to have discovered either of these.
I was pleased to see the architectural differences highlighted. It's insightful to see how they're evolving.
Desire and financial sustainability are not the same thing.
I’m going to call bullshit on the claim that they don’t store data “It does not engage in storage, communication, or transmission of any imagery or personally identifiable information”
They obviously store data. You have to write the image to disk after the camera takes it. I guarantee that if a 3rd party audit were conducted they’d find data stored on there.
Heck, I’ll do the audit for zero upfront, payment contingent on finding images stored on there.
Gotta make money somehow. Paywalls obviously don't work, as every time one is posted here an archive link is the first comment. I prefer ads over paywalls.
Sure, but it's pretty obvious that plastic experts would be talking about plastic recycling in particular.
Absolutely

Try PCem. It provides emulation of enough processors, video cards, sound cards, network cards, and peripherals that something is bound to work.

Mainstream virtual machines only support a couple. In many cases, it's some virtual hardware spec that they created.
The most general form of this is Upton Sinclair’s: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it”.

Though often the causes are not cynical or nefarious.
I believe so.

I'll pick on Government websites and the systems that back them as an all-too-familiar, internationally reviled category of software, as an example. These tend to be incredibly painful to use. Some tendering process somewhere awards a contract to the lowest bidder who then has the unenviable job of wrangling the delightful intricacies of government machinery to put something out that maybe does what it was supposed to do for the common citizen.

In such a world, I feel gov.uk stands out as a remarkable counter-example, worthy of emulation. e.g. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/government-design-principles

What do you mean by mind map? What's the objective of this exercise?

You may have better luck by searching for code to UML diagram generator. There are probably too many UML diagrams, but there are some ways to generate diagrams from the code. Once you have a diagram or two, you can probably simplify it into a mind map that you want to make.
DDD, Microservices, Clean, Hex, Onion, TDD, XP, EDA.....

All of those follow the basic SOLID principals.

The problem is the cargo culting and blog posts vs actually reading what the stuff means.

S or the Single responsibility principal as an example is always explained poorly by the same people who complain about it.

SRP means that "A module should be responsible to one, and only one, actor."

An 'actor' being a group that requires a change in the module.

making sure you decouple persistence code from domain code is an example. Almost universally the people who complain about SOLID thinks it means that you have to have trivial functions with lots of sprawl.

Really it is about allowing you to make changes without stepping on another's toes or trying to coordinate with them.
They even designed their plastic type symbol to look like the recycle symbol, even though most plastics can't be recycled.

Do you have any insight into why the Gnome desktop never officially adopted pie menus?

I know there were a few early implementations of pie menu widgets for Gnome many years ago, but as far as I know the window manager and desktop never adopted them.

Was it because of NIH? Was it because Gnome only aspired to imitating other mainstream desktops and not innovating? Was it because the Gnome developers were tricked by Alias's FUD about their illegitimate patents? Or some other reason?
