I don't see why anybody would doubt the existence of those trolls. It's quite obvious that social media can be cheap and efficient tool for spreading propaganda, and information warfare / spreading propaganda among your enemies is nothing new. It's done by many nation states and other actors, Russia is just among the most successful.

Anyway, I tend to agree that "too much" freedom of speech is not the real issue here. Across Western world, neoliberal economic policy has failed to bring prosperity among large segments of population. Politicians have also ignored very real issues, such as failed humanitarian migration policies, DEI-policies which discriminate against particular "privileged" groups and so on. Trolls would have much lower success rate, and far right parties would be much smaller if these concerns had been taken seriously before by mainstream parties. People who are happy and optimistic about their lives and future rarely become extremists.

> Why is the port number part of the way you instantiate the container?

Because that’s how networking works in literally every system ever. Containers don’t magically "export" services to the world. They have to bind to a port. That’s how TCP/IP, networking stacks, and every server-client model ever designed functions. Docker is no exception. It has an internal port (inside the container) and an external port (on the host), again, when we're dealing with the default bridge networking. Mapping these is a fundamental requirement for exposing services. Complaining about this is like whining that you have to plug in a power cable to use a computer. Clearly your "expertise" in networking is... Well. Another misunderstanding.

> The tooling should let me wire up a container’s 'http' export to some consumer or to my local port 8000.

Ummmm... It does. It's called: Docker Compose, --network, or service discovery. You can use docker run -p 8000:80 or define a Docker network where containers resolve each other by name. You already don’t have to care about internal ports inside a proper Docker setup.

But you still need to map ports when exposing to the host because… Guess what? Your host machine isn't psychic. It doesn’t magically figure out that some random container process running an HTTP server needs to be accessible on a specific port. That’s why port mapping exists. But you already know this because "you understand TCP and UDP just fine".

> The internal number should be an implementation detail.

This hands-down the dumbest part of the argument. Ports are not just "implementation details." They're literally how services communicate. Inside the container, your app binds to a port (usually one) that it was explicitly configured to use.

If an app inside a container is listening on port 5000, but you want to access it on port 8000, you must declare that mapping (-p 8000:5000). Otherwise, how the hell is Docker (or anyone) supposed to know what port to use? According to you - the software should magically resolve this. And guess what? You don’t have to expose ports if you don’t need to. Just connect containers via a shared network which happens automagically via container name resolution within Docker networking.

Saying ports should be an "implementation detail" is like saying street addresses should be an implementation detail when mailing a letter. You need an address so people know where to send things. I'm sure you get all sorts of riled up when you need to put an address on a blank envelope because the mail should just know... Right? o_O

I came from a middle class family (both parents college educated with white collar jobs) and received significant financial aid offers from multiple colleges (2 decade ago). A mix of grants and subsidized federal loans.

I think it depends a lot on the family’s position within the middle class. Upper middle class families will not be eligible for financial aid, while members of the lower middle class have significant non-merit based aid available.

sync comments

I guess you could do syncing kind of like how CCing email is done. CC my home server and global server. This gives you agency to remain detached from the hivemind, and vice versa. This is not some idea out of left field, it's roughly my workflow between Reddit or HN or other sites. I manually do the filtering in my mind when I move through different channels.

Phpbb is open source, but I mostly brought it up to show that Facebook is just that, and nothing more. Forking Reddit will also give you a Facebook clone (and a Reddit clone).
> American culture views the idea of taking everything you can and only giving back what you are contractually forced to in a more positive light

That’s not a thing in American culture. Maybe you are referring the low trust culture of international commerce, which just happens to be centered in the US.
This idea seems fantastic. One of my back-burner projects is a suite of lower-level video rendering software in Python, but this would let me get certain videos out the door much more quickly, I'm sure.

It might be a good idea to link "Typst" in the README to the documentation (https://typst.app/docs/).
Authors love libraries, because libraries create readers. Publishers don't so much, because though libraries have to buy books, a lot of individuals read a specific copy of a book, which means they aren't buying the book.

I have no idea how publishers feel about used book stores.
What do doctors prescribe nowadays? Same discredited meds?

How about SSRIs, for which much of the research does not provide supporting evidence? E.g. there's a 2022 meta-study by Moncrieff et al that shows there's no consistent evidence tying serotonin to depression. An earlier 2008 placebo-controlled study by Kirsch et al shows that SSRIs are barely any better than placebo.

IOW, SSRIs are useless horseshit for the vast majority of people (especially in the absence of e.g. CBT) and the theory behind them is not supported by evidence. Why are they still prescribed?

There will always be grift in a dynamic system. The problems occur when the grifts become formalized and encoded in law, as has been the case since at least 9/11. When that happens the institutions can't be reformed but must be replaced by a new institution or by complete personnel turnover. Over time, the energetic/ambitious/idealist contingent who achieved the revolution/coup/realignment/reset will grow old/wealthy/corrupt or be shoved aside by sharp-elbowed opportunists, hard-nosed pragmatists, or soft-shoe careerists. The process will repeat.
This is really interesting and I’m surprised I’ve never even heard of it before.

Now I’m imagining antennas breeding and producing cute little baby antennas that (provided they’re healthy enough) survive to go on to produce more baby antennas with similar characteristics, and so on…

It’s a weird feeling to look at that NASA spacecraft antenna, knowing that it’s the product of an evolutionary process in the genuine, usual sense. It’s the closest we can get to looking at an alien. For now.
According to the very link you posted, the US was two whole centuries late to the party. Better late than never of course, but the spin of trying to then frame it as an American Victory(tm) is pretty ridiculous.

What standards would you want individuals or small groups to be held to? In a context where it is illegal for a company to allow hate speech or CSAM on their website, should individuals be allowed to? Or do you just mean the punishment should be less?

It's not just the EU; I'm in a poorer region outside the EU and seeing "not available in your region" is quickly becoming the norm. Site administrators try to cut down on bot traffic (scraping, vulnerability scanners, denial of service, etc) and block whole regions they're not interested in.

Hell, we do that ourselves, but only for our own infrastructure that isn't expected to be used outside the county. Whitelisting your own country and blocking everything else cuts out >99% of scrapers and script kiddies.
You're right. Plus, the overreactions have been walked back or solved in some cases, e.g: LFGSS is going to continue on as a community ran effort which will comply with the risk assessment requirements. Most of the shutdowns are on long-dead forums that have been in need of an excuse to shutter. The number of active users impacted by these shutdowns probably doesn't break 100.
Yes. Solid state battery prototypes do work and are available as expensive prototypes, but nobody has a low-cost volume production process yet.

Here's the lab-scale process of making a solid state cell, from the Fraunhofer Institute.[1]
This is how different battery chemistries are tried.

Honda has announced that they have a demo version of their solid state battery pilot plant in test.[2]
There are low-detail pictures of the interior of the plant.

Hyundai has announced that they will show their prototype solid state battery on March 9. They have built a pilot plant. They're thinking motorcycles before cars.

EHang demoed a version of their flying car with solid state batteries a few months ago.[3]
They got 48 minutes of flight time. (EHang's flying car is a scaled-up battery powered quadrotor drone with 16 props. They've been flying them for years now, but flight time was too short for it to be useful.)

CATL says that the maturity of the process is at 4 on a scale of 9.[4] Large amounts of money are being spent in multiple countries to push this technology through to production.

Take a look at Tapo or Kasa devices (both TP-Link products).

I recently got a few to try out, and expressly chose them because they do motion and sound detection on device and also support microSD for local recording.

I've only had them a few weeks so can't speak to any slow-showing pain points, but so far both the video doorbell[1] and two inexpensive cameras I purchased[2][3] to test out have been awesome.

I set up an automation so they record continuously when I leave and when home to record on detection only (motion for all three and sound for the Kasa camera) to try to be economical on wearing out the SD cards. But for me personally knowing I'll likely have those go out on me and need replaced was an ok trade off for the convenience, and probably a wash financially because everything I wanted happens locally whereas I kept seeing them gated behind a subscription plan when looking at other options.

There's also an option in the app to enable them to speak stream locally to a NAS or NVR via RTSP if you want to do that with them. So I can eventually set that up for more reliability when the eventual SD burnout occurs, and scratch my tinkering itch with things like streaming it to Frigate and testing it out vs the native detection features, without any actual presasure to need to since it all just works as is.

The doorbell is what I was originally needing the continuous local recording and on-device object detection for. The two cameras were bonuses I threw in to grab a few of their inexpensive models to try out while I was at it. And so far for about $100 in total I've been impressed. Key word being so far – they're still recent enough I might be in my honeymoon phase with them and just don't know it yet.

I must be in the extreme minority, I always prefer light themes.
It might mitigate some of your issues by using themes that are anthracite / charcoal / deep gray instead of pure OLED black. Due to the way screen technology and bad eyes work you often get slight halo-ing or double vision with white text on pure blacks.

Also definitely stay away from Solarized. The contrasts on Solarized get muddled really quickly if you run your screen at low backlight intensity and especially if you use a night light blue filter / orange overlay.

Hope it helps!

I'm not sure if you're European? If you are, do you not understand that we have more green space and public parks in America? I'm literally a two minute walk from a huge park with open lawns, walking trails, and multiple playgrounds for kids. A five minute drive and I can be at a trail head leading into the foothills.

I'm a twenty minute drive (or less) to multiple FAANG companies satellite offices. The coastal American suburbs are quite different than what many might be picturing.
Somehow, I don't think turning the finances of education look more like the finances of the American healthcare system is the big win they think it is.

There has been new information since that blog post which has reaffirmed the "this is much ado about nothing" takes because Ofcom have said that they do not want to be a burden on smaller sites.

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-c...

"We’ve heard concerns from some smaller services that the new rules will be too burdensome for them. Some of them believe they don’t have the resources to dedicate to assessing risk on their platforms, and to making sure they have measures in place to help them comply with the rules. As a result, some smaller services feel they might need to shut down completely.

So, we wanted to reassure those smaller services that this is unlikely to be the case."
I know people talk about python being Lisp without brackets, but for example in SBCL and in other lisps like clojure I could just run a larger function, figure out that there is the wrong output, change a tiny function in it, eval that, eval the larger output, get the result. In SBCL there is also the break loop which is just magical.

I do not know how you do that in python without using a debugger and stepping through the code line by line. To be fair I used Python only a little bit almost a decade back. Are things more interactive now?

Hi everyone! Thank you for posting this site. I started this project while I was (and still am) a full-time student.

As another user mentioned, please be take EXTRA CAUTION when it comes to the translations! The "translations" typically come from the website where I found the artwork from, since I do not speak Vietnamese (am of Vietnamese heritage). The source of each image can be found with the source button. I try my best to fact-check, but since there aren't as many resources for Vietnamese design, I may unknowingly post inaccurate information. I will be more cautious in the future and next time I can update the website. I will double check the translations as well, if possible. I am really sorry in advance for spreading any misinformation.

I hope to dedicate more time to this project in the future. Currently, I am a full-time student and work part-time outside of school as well, so it's become challenging to keep it updated and do thorough research.
His ridiculous self-prescribed dosage and willingness to abuse the drug alone is indicative of the careless risk-taking required to decide to do something like insider trading and think he could get away with it. The arrogance required, especially from someone intelligent and capable enough to do a job like his, is palpable.

80mg is four times the average dosage. Anyone who has taken this drug therapeutically for its intended purpose at sane dosages will tell you that it can have some nasty side effects if you’re not careful. In brief, it makes it more difficult for your body to tell you when its had enough and needs food or rest. Things like sleep and eating are simply more difficult. You’ll find that out quickly enough without a doctor informing you of such, but it’s manageable then. We could just as easily be discussing someone who increasingly decided to sleep and food deprive themselves for months or years.
Thanks.

> Something is a hate incident if the victim or anyone else think it was motivated by hostility or prejudice based on: disability, race, religion, gender identity or sexual orientation.

This probably worries platforms that need to moderate content. Sure, perhaps 80% of the cases are clear cut, but it’s the 20% that get missed and turn into criminal liability that would be the most concerning. Not to mention a post from one year ago can become criminal if someone suddenly decides it was motivated by one of these factors.

Further, prejudices in terms of language do change often. As bad actors get censored based on certain language, they will evolve to use other words/phrases to mean the same thing. The government is far more likely to be aware of these (and be able to prosecute them) than some random forum owner.

Looking at it now, I don't see the "Borrowing from a tactic at X" part. Would removing that make enough room?
