https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Lombardi

a 'conspiracy theorist' who died mysteriously in 2000 at the age of 48. He would make large numbers of pencil sketches (50+) that started out as hairballs and gradually he'd try different layouts until they told a clear story. (At least some of the conspiracies, such as BCCI, were real, thus the quotes)

The same kind of work is necessary if you want to reveal some network of relationships that is essential to understanding some technological system, rule base, etc.
Are these sensors still installed or have they been retrieved from where they were colocated? With funding, is it possible to leave them in place so they can continue to collect data (https://explore.openaq.org/)?

Killing the entire dev team probably is overkill, but sometimes I hate it when my favorite apps change the UI all the freaking time. For an app that I use everyday like Evernote, they simply don't need to tweak and tinker with every little thing. Of course, you always need people to maintain the servers.
Arguably that's part of the problem; the industry almost _requires_ there to be a new thing at all times, to justify lavish forward valuations. In the absence of a concrete New Thing, _something_ is still required, and LLMs, for now, fit the bill.
This is really cool - I think its really helpful in difficult conversations when you can encourage people to choose a single branch / claim of the argument and stick to resolving that before confounding by mixing in other claims.
Personally, I'd love to be able to see a visual branching of different arguments / counterarguments, with some visual indicator for how much support each has.
Does it wiggle when you type on it?
They only mention KVM, however KVM is a kernel API and not a full hypervisor, and can't do half the things they claim it does (like support for certain disk images). What hypervisor are they actually using, does anybody know? Probably qemu? It doesn't feel like a major enough company to be able to write its own like Google did.

Did you read the article? That is very much the pop sci definition of cargo cult that is incorrect.

The cargo cults were made by people who were enslaved and violently oppressed and then believed that cargo they were forced to create for their oppressors (e.g. flour, rice, tobacco, and other trade) should belong to them
Good point. Fortunately, the same magnets can screw into the back of the Harite v2. If you search for "1/4" mount magsafe" you'll find a lot of examples that are relatively low cost.

Here's someone using the same mounts, just not with the 5-way directional switch: https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/12dr3pb/...
I also think that this is a great way to emphasis their value.

If anything I'd only keep those if it's hard to write them, if people push back against it (and I myself don't like them sometimes, e.g. when the goal is just to push up the coverage metric but without actually testing much, which only add test code to maintain but no real testing value...).

Like any topic there's no universal truth and lots of ways to waste time and effort, but this specifically is extremely practical and useful in a very explicit manner: just fix it once and catch it the next time before production. Massively reduce the chance one thing has to be fixed twice or more.

>I trust a leak from someone with no financial gain from the leak.

>I do not trust multi nationals worth several million, billion, trillion, to state truth. I expect them to lie until caught by a federal entity and fined.

>Guess how many times multi nationals lied to the public last year alone.

And what about the leak itself? "You really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?"

Here's an anonymous "leak" I found that says whatsapp is backdoored and sends your chats to the CCP: https://pastebin.com/uE4m694M . Are you going to believe it? If asked for comment, Meta is probably going to deny it, but obviously they're going to be lying for the reasons you mentioned.

>Now you answer: “Why do you put any trust in what statements a corp releases?!”

"Trust" isn't binary, it's a spectrum. I don't put much trust in corp releases, but I still trust them far more than an unverified source. Even if you put zero weight on "statements a corp releases", you can inspect the AOSP source code yourself and see that it shouldn't be possible for apps to steal your location data when it doesn't have location permissions, and therefore a list claiming that such apps are stealing your location data should be treated with extreme skepticism.
> Let's not scale mountains, explore the oceans, cross the poles, or go to space. Why be heroic when we can all hold hands and be safe.

In terms of exploring the oceans my hero is Admiral Rickover and not Stockton Rush. Different kind of heroism. Not the lack of it.

Eh, it’s par for the course for a blog post—some good, some inchoate, a little wrong.

What counts as gambling simulation? Is the original Legend of Zelda gambling simulation because you can wage 10 rupies to win 100 in that one cave?
I can't speak to your experiences with others from my alma mater but pretty much all of these things are covered in the core CS curriculum at NU (at least the pre-redesigned one). Systems, PL, Algorithms, Algorithmic proofs, automata, ALU design were all part of required courses, and that's before I include the elective CS courses I took.

One area where NU does fall down IMO is that they offer "combined majors" with CS and other subjects that eschew some of these courses to make room for the other half of the major, which will be an unrelated subject. This offering is a mistake because you do miss out on some key concepts. If you're working with a pure CS major, however, they were required to learn all these concepts.

Other than the fact that no real money is involved, which is really the core problem that reasonable people have with predatory gambling apps
Dancing at the edge of a volcano has risks, and the person who falls in may feel that someone else deserves it more. And onlookers may agree that the dancer doing triple backflips shouldn’t survive if someone doing the Macarena flops into the cauldron. Lots of reasons to say “whatabout”?

Takehomes and Algos Are Both Evil – and Other Lessons from 1000 SWE Interviews
Gambling with Klondike solitaire is actually a thing some casinos offer; you buy the deck for $X per card (e.g. $52) and get paid $Y for each card you get to the foundation (e.g. $5). IIRC, some versions of windows solitaire even offered that style of scoring.
> Imagine having to explain to a well-meaning visitor from another planet why using the phrase "people of color" is considered particularly enlightened, but saying "colored people" gets you fired. [...] There are no underlying principles.

To understand much of our language, Gnorts would have to already be aware that our words and symbols gain meaning from how they're used, and you couldn't, for instance, determine that a swastika is offensive (in the west) by its shape alone.

In this case, the term "colored people" gained racist connotations from its history of being used for discrimination and segregation - and avoiding it for that reason is the primary principle at play. There's also the secondary/less universal principle of preferring "person-first language".
Surely you do it often enough that an extra 90s would not be an undue cost?
Programmers (and adjacent positions) of late strike me as remarkably shortsighted and myopic.

Cheering for remote work leading to loads of new positions being offered overseas opposed to domestically, and now loudly celebrating LLMs writing "boilerplate" for them.

How folks don't see the consequences of their actions is remarkable to me.
Huh? Calls that a speaker, typically while speaking through a digital megaphone
to a large audience, is being silenced is a stereotypically red tribe behavior.

Silenced requires a someone

the silencing. At best this is just people choosing to not listen. If you want the blue tribe jab it's got to be something like "they will
keep trying to call everyone racists until people stop saying thing they don't like."

I disagree with the last sentence.

If you have some terminology you don't like, provide an alternative.

Main is fine.

But like what is the alternative to cargo cult provided here? It's a very concise representation of a pretty complex idea.

"You are valuing the ritual associated with an outcome instead of the outcome."

Is that my alternative?

Main is more concise than master. But how do I boil that down without saying "cargo cult"?
Yes, the "plugs" on top of every tip of pens are very much intentional.

They are found on every new ball pens and refills in India. I don't know the exact purpose of their existence, but I guess it has to do with leakage of ink.

I never thought I would see this question here! I now write with FPs exclusively, but removing those beads from newly bought pens were special experience to us as little kids! We fondly associated them with the joy of new pens. We used to call them "pearls".
It is sort of art. It looks fairly pretty I think, in a sort of everyday manner. But it also looks a little impractical, the part that might touch your wrists is very spiky. Also thought keyboards should be, if anything, tilted in the opposite direction.

It seems like an ok system if you don’t have to interact with your keyboard. But if you want to do away with the need to interact with the keyboard, a much more aggressive tilt could be used, right? This only gets you a couple inches. Ideally the top of the screen is around the top of your head, right? Of course this is for on-the-go use, so we don’t expect ideal.

Overall, it is art; I really do think it looks nice, but it is pretty impractical.
Some jurisdiction have the concept of “moral rights”.
And by that you probably mean people who just showed up, claimed some land, and then voted?
I get that this is a matter of personal style, but when scanning a program that means you start from the most specific (ie. lowest in the call stack) layer of abstraction, which is IMO not the most intuitive way to reason about an application. You can always read in reverse order, but again, that's the opposite of what I would intuitively consider.
Who is to say Bob Woodward is not a employed by federal agencies and paid to favor current government.

His cognitive dissonance was on display on live television multiple times where he struggles to speak or even walk. Unless all that was a deliberate act for media, I see no reason to believe Mr. Bob was being truthful

By throwing out the most outlandish inflammatory shit, the media gushes over it ("no such thing as bad press"), regular people who just want straightforward stability freak out about it, an army of edgelord simps go to work arguing how such a plan is straightforwardly reasonable xor is actually some 4d chess move, and ultimately the entire memetic sphere is filled with polarized spectator-sport trash - drowning out and neutralizing reasoned criticism of what is actually happening.

More than the inevitable national tragedies that will be openly shirked and just used as opportunities to divide, more than the overt destruction and corporate coup his cadre of anti-American enablers have had four years to plan, what I am really dreading is going back to being continually gaslit that any of it makes sense as a coherent political perspective beyond mere postmodern nihilism.
The key is the first sentence I suppose. But probably, all in, Dugin's book has been more influential, and here the influence is well-studied.[0]

Also, some aims from the book have already been achieved (like 'The United Kingdom, merely described as an "extraterritorial floating base of the U.S.", should be cut off from the European Union.[9]').
The whole "devil is in this object" idea is something Christianity has been working to stamp out for centuries, and yet it keeps surfacing with our country cousins out in the hinterlands.

Every major religion is comfortable with the concept of needing to go out into the sticks and unfuck the rubes before they start sacrificing children to their goat god.

It's not just the people at the top. It's totally normal and acceptable to release software that doesn't work. I can count the number of times that I couldn't complete a transaction in a physical store on one hand, but I regularly can't accomplish what I want on a web page or mobile interface because the software straight-up doesn't work.

This relevant XKCD is right on point: https://xkcd.com/2030/

The problem may have come from the top down, but now it's endemic to the entire industry, and in any large company no one, at any level, can make anything stable and reliable without completely failing at whatever metrics the company is using.

I think a large part of that is management-centric software design philosophies that push constant output and metrics over good software.

For example, Agile's four values could be read in a way that supports good software development, but in practice they are effectively asking for: prioritizing appearance and metrics, releases that are undocumented proofs of concept, sales-department directed capabilities, and feature creep.

It's so counter to the development of working software that the only explanation is that one of the signatories of the Agile Manifesto had stated: "The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

Nah, just like Russia slowly boiled its citizens into the current state, we can slowly boil Russia into a complete breakdown. Recent permission to use western weapons on Russian soil is an example.
I see the whole thing as a triangle:

nepotism on one point

dei on another point

and meritocracy on the third

Each presents different ways to make selection and each has intrinsic biases which are in tension with one another. Neither one can be the end all be all solution because each leads to unhealthy endpoints if carried on for long enough. I suspect Sergei Volkov did in fact benefit from nepotism but maybe that's not a bad thing on its own?
Arbitrarily long and infinite are very different things.
They probably mean libvirtd/qemu, when people say "we used kvm" that's generally what they mean.
same is true for mahjong in china. because it is used for gambling it gets shunned by people who dislike gambling, although it is a perfectly fine game otherwise. we loved it as kids so much that we were the only ones who kept borrowing it from our local game library and we bought it when they sold of unpopular games. i suppose for chinese it feels like playing poker just for fun.
> Or an insurance company that went bankrupt?

Yes. There were 6 insurance companies that went bankrupt in Florida in 2022. I am surprised you didn't know insurance companies go bankrupt all the time due to mismanagement.

Insurance should not be used as a profit source. It is antithetical to the purpose of insurance.
Writing good commit messages can be good self-promotion. You may not realize who is watching the repo and this is an easy way to differentiate yourself from you colleagues and make your work appear interesting and important.

Also, I have found that writing commit messages often forced me to rework a poor solution whose weakness became apparent only when I tried to explain it. In other words, often the value of the commit message is not the message itself but rather the process that produced it. It's a bit like musical scales. Almost no one is performing scales at a concert but also almost no one is performing without scales as a part of their regular practice.

It isn't just that you don't bet anything of value. You don't bet anything, period. There is no wager. There is no bet. There is no way to put up $5 and if the outcome goes your way you get $20.

You may, with all the various features in the game, be able to construct something that has that effect, although it would still require some squinting and blurring because there is certainly no dialog that ever pops up saying "Bet how much: _____". I'm hedging just because there's an awful lot of features in the game and you can do a lot of weird things if you try. But nothing is immediately coming to mind, without so much squinting that you'll turn Final Fantasy X into a "gambling" game because "you might run around starting fights to get rare loot" or something of a similar level of "possibly true in a really abstract sense but not a useful definition". You can, philosophically, define gambling down to "putting any sort of time or resources in for an uncertain outcome of any sort" and do useful math on such definitions but that's not a useful definition for the discussion at hand because that just describes life, and all games except deterministic solitaire games, which are a legitimate category but also a small minority.
the huge majority of citizens in Greenland do _not_ want to be part of the US nor is there wide spread historic US control over it so you can't pull a Crimea.

The reason they don't want to be part of Denmark is because they don't want to be a external territory but their own _independent_ country, making their own decisions for themself.

Not only would joining the US not give them that, they would actually be worse off then before as they pretty much guaranteed wouldn't become a US state but external territory instead. Not speaking about all kinds of living and right standards they are used to and would likely lose when entering the US (e.g. health care, consumer rights, etc.).

And when it comes about having a military outpost on Greenland the US already has that.

So we have:

- Denmark: Want's to keep it, and is doing financially well so they have no reason to sell, but have many reasons to keep it.

- Greenland People: Want to be a _fully independent_ nation.

- A US president with megalomania who wants to _force allays_ to give him territory they don't want to give up and force his rule onto people which do not want this. And that not just with a random EU allay but one of their closest allays (Canada)

Let's be realistic the US trying to "do a Crimea" wouldn't be a Crimera but more like Germans invasion into Poland i.e. the start of WW3 due to how it basically signals to China and Russia that Nato is weak (I mean NATO would at lest boarder on a internal war, if not even some members having declared war.) and forcefully sizing territories is fine.

Ignoring megalomania the worst thing here is IMHO how much facts are again just absurdly misrepresented, like treating "Greenland wants to be a independent country" as "Greenland wants to be a territory of the US"
This looks really cool - the UI in particular feels really approachable and polished. I like how you detect and call out "What you're doing wrong" to help build awareness of unhelpful thought patterns. Upvoted!

I recently launched something pretty similar (www.pensiveapp.com) but we took a very different approach (and I think the space is huge). Interesting to see how differently you approached the problem.
Why are you interested in that? Why not use them as a traffic source?

There's a difference between expressing an opinion and "encouraging <what I think is good> behaviour in others".
That doesn’t exactly help. Minorities have been trying to get society to wake up to police brutality since at least as far back as NWA’s “Fuck the Police” when Tipper Gore was clutching her pearls about the affect such music had on society.

It was just not until social media where minorities could get around the press and media filter.
The difference is that the previous non-profit was a not-for-profit corporation (gGmbh). This legal form is roughly analogous to most US non-profits (501(c)3 Inc.) and meant that as founder, Eugen Rochko still had more or less full control over the organization.

As I understand it, the new organization is supposed to be a non-profit association (e.V.), which is a distinct type of organization under German law that enforces democratic decision-making and enables people to become voting members of the NGO.

It's a bit difficult to explain as there is no analogue in most common law systems (sadly).
I definitely don't want to miniminize the significance of this. This is huge!

But, they did have some major benefits that most companies looking to do the same won't:

> Anexia therefore resolved to migrate, a choice made easier by its ownership of another hosting business called Netcup that ran on a KVM-based platform.

> The hosting company is also a big user of NetApp storage, so customer data was already stored in a resource independent of its VMware rig – any new VMs would just need to be pointed at existing volumes.

Again, still a great accomplishment and an exciting milestone for them, but for people still stuck on VMWare that are looking to migrate, it's good to know about the above things.
I was going to go fountain, yes. Excellent “tip”, thanks!
