For code that's been explicitly manually optimized already, indeed you wouldn't want to turn on -ffast-math; and I'd hope anyone who has actually learned what benefits from manual optimization and how to properly do that would also at some point have read something about not coupling that with -ffast-math. But I really doubt such meaningfully-manually-optimized code is at all frequent, and where it isn't it's a rather simple improvement (potentially with using some subset flags to allow NaN or infinity if desired).
Tim Wu: The First Amendment Is Out of Control
That is just a fairy tale. Marketing decides the name of the release, and marketing wanted to indicate a clean break. Microsoft never had a marketing idea all on its own, so it did what Apple did: it released Windows X, just like Apple had done with Mac OS X. On top of that, the numbering jump was also a way to indicate this was the last version of Windows. Remember that? Microsoft said Windows 10 was the end of the specific version release of Windows. That survived right until the time their latest attempt at a mobile OS failed miserably and was rolled into Windows development, giving us the immovable taskbar that everybody despises.
> How much of our societal progress and collective thought and innovation has gone to capturing attention and driving up engagement, I wonder.

Facebook + Instagram is $100B+ business, So is Youtube and Ads.

An average human now spends about ~3h per day on their screens, most of it on social media.

We are dopamine driven beings. Capturing attention and driving up engagement is one of the biggest part of our economy.

Declaring it a heritage site sounds not smart, not like a long term solution to anything.

I do think the rest of this makes a lot of sense. Recycle the thing, scrap it, over many decades. Get the humans out, boost it, make sure it'll hold together. And then let whomever wants to come off pull parts or material.

This should be a lesson in space manufacturing/assembly/recycling. We could learn so much about how to work on space from this. And ideally there'd be no rush. Boost it, and wait 10 years for space industry to be more caught up, more interested & able to start work.
I’ve been running Linux for ~20 years. Proton is, without a doubt, a huge leap forward for the ecosystem. I stopped dual booting Windows for games ~5 years ago and haven’t looked back. It’s positively wild to me that native Linux builds for games are often harder to get working than just using proton and the game’s windows build.
In decades of being on the internet, I have yet to meet two anarchists who use the same definition of "anarchism". Certainly I know plenty of people who would excoriate you for saying it "means no unearned hierarchy".

It's impossible to philosophically engage with anarchism, because every anarchist rewrites its definition on-the-fly to win whatever argument they happen to be in at that moment.

You sure?

Google obfuscates these moonshots (Waymo, Verily) in the “Other Bets” line in their 10-K. They lose money in the aggregate and the detailed financials for each entity aren’t revealed.

If a company like Waymo looked like it were on the path to profitability, Google wouldn’t hide the financials. They report the bare minimum (jumbled up with a bunch of unrelated stuff) because the numbers are grim.
Plenty of garbage code is making billions for all of the big tech companies that exist. It's mostly garbage code at Amazon, Facebook, etc.. Let alone the smaller companies that were "bootstrapped", had founder level code be built and then are in that constant "fixing and scaling" phase.

More though, what kind of culture develops when someone works on something - and then it's called garbage? On the other hand, when someone is looking at their rate of progress, and they make a tactical decision that perhaps something is fine, not great, but it's f'in fine - and they are going to spend the time saved getting the project done; and then what happens when the reviewer decides the PR is "garbage"?

I've also come to learn that I need to be more intentional about letting various fires burn. Can't fix everything, and sometimes simple & low quality is best.

Anarchism is explicitly not about everyone for themselves

Pierre Prudhon, who was basically the first anarchist wrote about all of our social obligations in all of his works - read chapter 4 of “what is property” to see what this looks like applied to interrelaional labor exchange

Further, Adam Smith, who you could also argue was also an early anarchist wrote in the theory of moral sentiments about the same thing

similarly for Emma Goldman similarly for Kropotkin etc..

So there is a fundamental lack of understanding about what anarchist philosophy actually is, it would seem, that prevents an actual discussion about it

Is there much of a difference? If all stores ban the unvaccinated for example? Is that “shunning” in line with the underlying principles?

Even though I am vaccinated, I personally reject calls for medical discrimination and violations of bodily autonomy. I think it is one thing for individuals to make choices and decide who they want to invite to their house. But I think it is another thing entirely for public or private employers or other places to ban people on such traits.

Whether it is forced by the government or not, doesn’t make a difference to me. But I will also note that the line can be very blurry to begin with. For example, many cities have public transportation that is operated by private entities.

To the extent that's true clearly we need a wealth tax.

But also it's not true. Dividends are taxed at the capital gains rate which is quite low, and for tax deferred investment schemes (which is to say, retirement savings) they're not taxed at disbursement and can be reinvested tax-free.

I think you're very confused about the mechanism behind a stock buyback. It's a way to make the stock value increase. There's no other point in doing it.

> People talking on the radio is sort of dead

In my area, we used to have quite a bit of traffic on one 2m repeater, mostly around morning and afternoon commute times. We had a retired police officer who seemed to spend most of the day chatting. He went away, and most of the chatter went away with him. I would guess all the guys who used to talk while in their cars are still out there, but no one is getting the conversation ball rolling like he used to.
I think there's a difference of opinion here about what it means for it to "work". The point I infer from the parent comment (which I happen to agree with) is that measuring success or failure in terms of the community is orthogonal to open source. If what you want is a successful community, then it makes sense to base your decision on whether to be open source or not on that, but failing to build a long-lasting community isn't a failure of open source itself but at using it as a tool to try to achieve a specific goal, and not everyone doing open source shares that goal.

As an aside, I think it's worth noting that most attempts to build long-lasting, vibrant communities for software fail, regardless of whether they're open source or not. Open source might not have a high success rate of community-building, but neither does proprietary software (or whatever middle ground you consider to be in the space between those terms, like "open core" or "source available"). If what you care about most is building a large community, the more effective choice probably depends on a lot of factors specific to what you're building and what else is going on at the time you're trying than something as simple as "always be open source" or "always be proprietary".
Especially for trains. For one, they are much more susceptible to sinking, but also likely produce all kinds of resonance.
That's one interpretation. Another us the idea that only voluntary interactions and transactions are legitimate -- i.e. taxation or forceful socialist takeover of capital is archist.

The common thread is the idea of decentralized, ideally evenly distributed, power.

IMO, a company that does one well will do their other one well.

I’ve personally found that the lack of barriers on Kanban allows teams to get sloppy with the work they accomplish. Having a cycle or cadence give an intentional space for the team to scrutinize their work.
That’s great, but it’s still too vague. If the industry is geared towards a specific implementation of these nebulous descriptions, with all of their scrum conferences and scrum master certification courses, then the common implementation becomes a defining characteristic.

A scrum master should be a true leader… well, part of being a true leader is being direct and firm when the going gets tough. Push eventually comes to shove. A team isn’t tracking to their goal for the sprint? Push. A team repeatedly fails to meet a prior high water mark for velocity? Shove.

Can you provide some examples of places you’ve worked at that do Scrum in different ways than the common cliché?
We only have subscriptions for businesses (there's a whole separate purchase process), regular licenses cover 3 years worth of updates and are perpetual. That's a similar time period between license purchases to before ST4. We announced this change at the top of our ST4 release post and describe it when you purchase a license.

If your regular license only covered a year of updates that's certainly a bug and I suggest contacting sales@sublimetext.com so we can sort that out.

Hmm. Blind people called dogs, because they have to use their nose instead of their eyes?

Not sure how that's funny though.

It's my opinion that his old age, combined with the fact that he was always surrounded by optimistic young people, activists, and extremely wealthy people who respected his critiques of power, started distorting his views on contemporary issues. I don't think that it reflects badly on him, being out of touch is a proof of his extreme success; it's inevitable that your success forms its own bubble.

Specifically, I don't think he considered the degree to which people in power would lie about what they knew about the actual characteristics of the disease to such an extent, which means that he had fallen out of touch with his own work.

edit: Covid being as weak as it was was just luck. The next disease could be almost the same, let's say like MERS with a possible 35% fatality rate, but with a long asymptomatic incubation time during which people are at their most infectious. If that happens, we'll still have to grapple with the questions that Chomsky dared to give answers to.

Not really. Anarchism is a historically leftist movement. It's about rejecting hierarchy and coercion, not necessarily rejecting all notions of social duty, shared fate, cooperation, human care and support, etc.

Sure, but "EPA to determine methodology, including statistical parameters" is still ambiguous.

What's the process for determining the methodology? Would another process have been better? Does the plaintiff's proposed approach for methodological determination also conform to this law?

In this case, "how to go about determining methodology" is left ambiguous, and is now the province of the courts, not the EPA.
I also agree with you to an extent. Hacker News is for winding down and reading, but not everyone runs on the same schedule or has the same needs.

I've had a handful of clear lucid dreams with different levels of awareness/control. In most of them I know that there's no real consequences but I rarely try things that would seem dangerous/extreme. One time I was flying and knew it was a dream, I could control how/where I was flying but for whatever reason I couldn't fly above a certain height like there was yet another unconscious limit to my lucid dream control. At least in that one I was trying and testing what I could do in the dream.

In most other cases after I wake up, I think to myself I knew I was dreaming why didn't I try more stuff?! Waking up from lucid dreaming can be very smooth fade-out/fade-in and sometimes I can extend the lucid dream state after partially waking up by reimagining the world I was leaving then on finally waking up I just wish I could have stayed longer but is no surprise at all.

You don't need to move the prime meridian, you just need countries to update their individual time zone offsets from UTC, which is already a well-supported path that happens all the time. If we abolish leap seconds, countries would just wait until solar noon drifted ~30 minutes (which would take centuries), then just do a TZ offset update. Nothing could be simpler.
Some work cultures are too conflict adverse. I think it comes down to personalities of course, I want to generalize it to West coast people being conflict adverse. In these examples, it's all the ra-ra cheerleading you'd find on Linked-In, everything is awesome and super fast shipping squirrel

In these situations I find conflict is buried rather than resolved in a calm & understanding way. Without the latter being the example, the incentives are to go along to get along - meanwhile there is no longer a mechanism to resolve a disagreement. Suddenly then in review, you're "that guy" that is delaying things, and the both reviewer and reviewee don't have a healthy culture to talk through the issues.

Sorry for the rant, I think the downvotes are a reaction to the shock that some teams can have healthy conflict and work through them - and it can look like yelling sometimes (often yelling is just that, yelling.. but when a team is actual friends with another - they will have their own unique ways to address conflict).
>leadership that present anarchist

You might see the conflict here in the wording...

A successful meme is one that causes itself to be propagated. For example most religions have a tenant of "have kids, teach those kids your religion" and "convert others to your religion". Leadership in a group that says get rid of leadership is never going to be as successful as a group that attempts to acquire more power. Or to say different, it's success measure would be in destroying itself.
This is silly. It's a moldy, smelly group of bolted together tin cans. Let it burn and replace it with something 10X better for the cost of "saving" it.

The core of my startup is product data mining, and we have a really good suite of anti-bot tech. However, we need help crawling big sites like Amazon or eBay.

I don’t think that’s a safe assumption. These modules have been modified many times and might have used destructive techniques during installation. Dangerous space walks might also have been involved that would need repeating in order to disconnect them. Also, it’s unlikely they’re designed to withstand the vacuum of space once removed, so new assemblies would be needed to protect things while removing them.

Either way, the residual value of these systems is far less than the cost to produce them initially.

> Historically, much of Genesis was likely written during the Babylonian exile.

That's very very unlikely, there's too much other stuff linked with it that is older than that. You might be able to claim that when it was set to paper, but there's no way Genesis itself is only from then.

According to Genesis Abraham lived at the time that Gilgamesh was recorded, with Noah living a little before then. It's quote possible Gilgamesh was written down from their stories, rather than the other way around. Genesis records how Abraham traveled widely telling his story, including to kings.

You are aware that the Happy Birthday Song has dozens upon dozens of variations (and not just the parody ones), right?

The Happy Birthday Song isn't even the Happy Birthday Song! It's Good Morning To All! Happy Birthday lyrics didn't even make it into print until 1912 and that's not even the version that we use today. That version was first published in 1924 by Robert Coleman. The copyrighted version that even credited the Hill sisters with the melody (from Good Morning to All, in 1893) didn't come around till 1935.

As for peoples' literacy, yes, that's the point. That history is often unreliable. We even have disputes between early _written_ historians writing about the same events and have to compare them and also evaluate whether they were alive at the time of the events and what their sources were. Often we can discount what those people wrote today based on what we've learned from the past.

I said 100 years and I meant it. If you really think about it deeply, it should be obvious. Hell, I don't know who my father is and my own mother couldn't manage to stay consistent between tellings of that story...
