> My take is the casino structured its business to comply, not to evade interest

It's impossible to say what's going on since it's an anonymous post with no details.

Maybe it's all 100% true.

Maybe there are some key details being left out. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen one of those outrage posts that seriously misrepresented things.

Whatever the case, obviously the author is not an unbiased party. These posts do well because "zomg Cloudflare bad!", and maybe they are, but I sure as fuck don't trust some casino guy either.
But that implies they'll fix the bugs that get reported! I have a Google Pixel 6a, and for probably close to a year now I've had this weird issue where vibration randomly stops working, but only when I'm not connected to wifi. Rebooting the phone fixes it temporarily. I've submitted feedback in the settings to report it multiple times and it's still not fixed. I've had another bug where people get a sporadic echo when I'm on the phone with them, but it doesn't happen when I'm on speaker or using a different app to call (like Discord).

I'm thinking of changing brands when I upgrade. Guess I shouldn't look too closely at getting an iPhone either...
This was in my textbook and my professor covered it as well! Class of 17 here
You missed a paragraph that would help out your understanding of what they're discussing and studying and remove the need to spam the '?' key in mock outrage:

> Previous studies have shown that math and logic problems seem to rely mainly on the multiple demand regions in the left hemisphere, while tasks that involve spatial navigation activate the right hemisphere more than the left. Working with Marina Bers, a professor of child study and human development at Tufts University, the MIT team found that reading computer code appears to activate both the left and right sides of the multiple demand network, and ScratchJr activated the right side slightly more than the left.

She didn't say anything about what code is in relation to math and logic, she was speaking about how the activated regions in the brain are different between the two tasks. And per the study they are different, or, as she said, "not the same".
Reading code and not running it is like reading a Spanish text but not knowing Spanish. Running it is equivalent to comprehension.

This is incredibly wasteful and will end up being a net-negative for greenhouse gas emissions by crowding out other, more efficient uses of that electricity besides heating things up. One of the first things they teach you in engineering thermodynamics is that electricity is very high quality energy compared to process heat, and that you can do a lot more useful things with electricity such as powering motors or electronics. Electricity generation typically results in lots of waste heat, which you would be far better off recycling into process heat through cogeneration instead of what this article is doing, which is throwing away process heat to convert electricity into even more process heat.

We ALSO need nuclear to achieve the plan ending fossil fuels usage BUT nuclear do not means just build an NPP and mine uranium, it al means exaust disposal and also mean a spread and distributed energy grid as we need today, something we will probably be unable to maintain in a changing world.

Solar on contrary means "just" install some panels and batteries with relevant inverters and you have energy, at least a bit for a potentially inconstant time. p.v. + storage means quickness and small distributed scale, nuclear means slow and big. Here the issue:

- we need MUCH MORE nuclear, but it took some decades to build it

- we need to being able to adapt in a changing world where populations will move en masse and keep moving for a little while, with wars and so on

Long story short we might be late for nuclear, at least in the current state of available tech today (small reactors are a promise, but economically are a failure today) and we are too far from good enough energy storage for renewables.
Huh? I read that comment and didn't find it problematic at all. I myself remember scenes, in detail, from before I was three years old. Some things will stick forever in memory, under certain circumstances.
With the USB-C Mac’s, the MagSafe adapter is wonderful. It’s been driving me toward adopting USB-C more and more. I selected my current eReader partly because of USB-C support.

Going in, I bought an Apple silicon Mac that supports multiple displays because I knew I’d want/need that. Wasn’t an issue. I spent less than $2,000 on it.

I’d also add to this that I have not yet found anything that can’t be done on macOS via native CLI, Homebrew (or analogues), or in containers, that can be done in WSL. Nothing that isn’t Windows-specific anyway.

I have never had macOS open Music when connecting earbuds. Some devices yes, which I tend to disable, but not my earbuds. I have a pair of Powerbeats Pro.
I have a funny little habit that probably stems from a certain degree of paranoia when working on a decent-sized change. I like to keep a local patch of it, as follows: "git diff > works.patch"

Later on, you can apply it if necessary with "git apply works.patch".

>if we assume that negative and positive is amplified equally

This is a false assumption, at least with regards to mainstream/commercial media. Positive news simply doesn't grab as many eyeballs as negative news, so they are strongly incentivized to bias towards negativity.

As for social media, while the platforms themselves don't have as strong of incentives (they still do) it's easy to see that more people respond to negativity than positivity.

We even see this outside of the media. For example in elections, it is far more effective to go and ruthlessly attack your opponents than be positive about yourself because people respond better to negativity. Also reviews; nobody writes positive reviews, everyone writes negative reviews.

The moral is humans are hardwired to ignore positivity, because positive things are supposed to happen and thus not worth caring about. Nobody cares that thousands of airliners flew safely on a given day (positive), everyone cares that one airliner out of thousands happened to have an issue (negative).

Yes, in the sense that the amount of "distortion" they can achieve is bounded to be small.

Frankly, I'm approaching this as an engineering problem, so I haven't tried to work out all the gory mathematical details to fully theoretically characterize the distortion achievable by coordinated action.

I have a question for Helix users. Do you use multiple selections? Years ago I gave Helix a shot and found that many themes, including the default theme, don't differentiate between the primary and secondary selections. It turns out that's still the case:

As a former Kakoune user it's hard to imagine using multiple selections effectively without that.

I get depression and activity/exercise aren't easy to marry, but exercise and getting fit seems like a much better thing to try before mdma or LSD burns.

Exercise is supposedly superior to all pharma antidepressants.

And in the vein of the metabolic stuff, exercise can change your gut bacteria and metabolism on a fundamental level that isn't as fringe, it's pretty well documented.

But it takes like a month to get the train rolling, no pill popping.

Exercise helps with sleep regulation.

Exercise helps with pooping regularly.

Exercise helps moderate appetite, excessive or inability to eat.

A very underrated aspect is it increases your pain threshold. Depressives have tested as less pain tolerant and if the correlation is a factor, exercise helps.

There's probably 20 other aspects.
Hmm, it is sort of how patents work. Copyright registration involves giving some sort of the work to the Library of Congress, but I'm not familiar with that part of it.
Tiling WM for me is the ability to use every app full-screened, with any key combination for accessing it. It’s so great on a laptop that I’m — a macOS user for over a decade — unwilling to use anything but a tiling WM on my laptop ever again. It’s a perfect WM for me already, in every single way. An actual tiling thing, when you open multiple windows on one screen, is something that I never use. Or maybe just once in a blue moon.
hmmmmm.....
Yes, the distinction is the networking. If you make changes to Nocobase and provide an app over the network using that changed code, you would need to provide your fork of Nocobase.

AFAICT Nocobase is the platform here. Just like when you use linix, compile your code with GCC, or use happen to use a bash script in production, you don't need to provide your application and infrastructure code along with your app, you shouldn't need to provide your application code (or plugin code?) written for Nocobase. Right?

Really the ultimate cause for all of that pain and suffering is the failure of the Ottoman Empire which was quite cosmopolitan while it lasted.

There is plenty to criticize about the actions taken by many parties post-collapse, but I strongly doubt it's at all possible for external powers to take a failed empire and keep all the pieces happy in the aftermath. Those people have to do most of that themselves, and in this case they didn't for many reasons. Europe was ready for the transition away from monarchy and empire, the middle east wasn't. Russia/USSR tried a path that worked but not particularly well. Luck and circumstance also played a part.

A century of war and strife post empire collapse isn't exactly unusual.

Lisp is a family of languages. They share a common ancestry. That family is larger than Common Lisp, although Common Lisp is might be the last living descendant. While there are common traits among members of the family (parenthesized notation, certain special forms, symbol names), the presence of these traits does not itself define the family any more than having fins implies that an animal must be a member of the fish family.

A language is not only its syntax, but also it's semantics. Lisp is not just parentheses or even 'homoiconicity.' In addition to the surface syntax, there is a shared cultural understanding of what certain symbols mean, how they fit together into a system, what a symbol even is, and so on.

Given that, while there is some surface resemblance to lisp, it's plainly obvious to me that Clojure does not belong in that family. This is not a dig at Clojure! Clojure makes a lot of people happy and productive, and that's great. It's my third favorite language on the JVM. But when you take a closer look at some very core design decisions made in Clojure you'll find that they depart strongly enough from all the other languages in the Lisp family that it belongs to a distinct language family. A few of them:

- Reader doesn't intern symbols

- EQUAL symbols aren't EQ

- Introduction of vars

- Cons doesn't cons

- No numeric tower

- Backquote behavior

These things don't necessarily come up in day-to-day programming, so it might seem like quibbling, but these are fairly central differences in meaning.

I think it's sensible to consider "Clojures" as a distinct language family. Rhere are languages like Fennel and Hy that are clearly Clojures, and I'm sure there will be more.
I'm an economist and I think just posting the paper misses a bit of context:

There's a bit of an arms race between researchers to write what they hope will be influential papers about how ChatGPT will affect (the economy|inflation|gdp|productivity|inequality|whatever).

I would say that at least 90% of all the new papers are quite useless, so not surprised that you find that
>but not when the women are portrayed in a more negative fashion?

Could it be because for centuries we ran the world and told women they were inferior, didn't let them vote, didn't let them drive, didn't let them have financial autonomy, etc.?

Could it be that, generally, men have things pretty good today and in many ways women still have not caught up?

Could it be that you need to tread a pretty fine line if you want to make humor by poking fun at half the population who were systematically oppressed for the last I-don't-know-how-many years?

One wonders.
Farmer's markets tend to have very cheap vegetables. Factory second stores like Grocery Outlet often have great deals on vegetables. As well Food Banks generally do not means test if you need to get something _very_ cheap or free.

There's no contradiction. Equally bad outcomes does not mean that they paths to those outcomes is also equal.

As a clear example, in both these cases the outcome is "death" right? I think we all know we'd rather go out in our sleep that have our intestines ripped out. Both these have equal outcomes but I'd call you a liar if you didn't have a strong preference.

You might say these don't compare. I'd say that they do. If we come to that conclusion, one of us must be misinterpreting the other.

As far as I can tell, Nocobase is a platform (like e.g. gnu/linux) which you can build things on top of. You should only need to provide changes to the platform (EDIT and any custom plugins), not the rest of the application.

(E.g. if a cloud provider were to create an optimized version for their cloud and then sell that, those changes would need to be public - I saw this as addressing behavior like redis has complained about).

Don’t they already have it? It’s called Chrome.
I don't know how to do it with Teams either.
Just a remark on that specific case: Object.hasOwn landed in Chrome 93 in August 2021, and came last to Safari 15.4 in March 2022. My general advice is: never depend¹ on features less than two years old, avoid depending on features less than three years old, and treat two-and-a-half-year-old Safari as a bigger deal than one-and-a-half-year-old any other browser, because of how Safari major versions are tied to major OS versions to at least some extent².

¹ When I say “depend” I mean “break if it’s not present”. A degraded but still functional experience is acceptable.

² I don’t use Apple stuff, so correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that this used to be the case for macOS but may be fixed since macOS 12 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safari_(web_browser)#Version_c...>, and is still the case with iOS et al. I believe iOS/Safari 15 is still the current version on some actively supported devices.

I truly adore KSP - one of the few games where I'd get so excited about doing something that I'd drag my wife over to marvel at my accomplishment (and subject her to long explanation of why this particular cluster of pixels on a screen should represent an accomplishment).

So I was naturally extremely excited for KSP2, but all-along I had a strong feeling this would happen. What's sad to see is that it's not just a second-system effect of being too ambitious, which was what I was assuming would cause issues, but an even more pathetic failure than that.

The joy I get from games has a really wide variance, and barely any relationship to the actual amount of money I spend on the game. I'd pay $1000 for a truly good KSP2, yet all the games that would actually _let_ me spend $1000 are shallow skins over gambling.
I am mostly in the other side of this argument. C is an insane language in my view ( in a modern context ).

As you consider the issue this phrase I think is the best synopsis of your thoughts: When it is so well known, at some point it isn’t a “trick” anymore, right

And yet we fall for the same tricks again and again. The most politically pressing? The number of people - internationally - who believe in a strongman leader.

MLMs also occur to me. We know MLMs so well that we've literally written laws against them. There are movies, articles, conversations. And yet, every single year, tons of people fall for them.

What other very well-known tricks do people fall for HN?
Well, I don't think they are "less-than creatures" as you put it. Don't know where that one came from.

I don't think anyone really knows why the alt-right is stuck in this imagined persecution complex, and insists on being belligerent against experts and authority figures. My comment was just an observation that they are. I'm not a psychologist so any explanation I could offer would be pure speculation from a layman:

Maybe the persecution complex comes from evangelical Christianity--after all, the Venn diagrams of the alt-right and devout Christians overlap to a degree. A big part of the Jesus story was him getting persecuted and killed by authority figures. Maybe they project this victimhood on themselves so they can imagine themselves on some kind of religious-like quest. Being victims of a giant conspiracy could also just be a way of trying to gain sympathy. As for the anger and tough-guy acts? Who knows? Some deep seated trauma from childhood? Parental abuse issues? School teacher trust issues? I guess there are a lot of traumatic events that could set someone down the road of being angry at everyone.

Hope this sheds some light on my thought process. Ultimately, I don't think anyone really knows why these folks have made an entire political movement out of simultaneously attacking experts and playing the victim.
So that's how you make the internet a safer place. Good job Cloudflare!
