Yes, nuclear power regulations are unreasonably strict because that was the method we used to soft-ban it.

> ever since the "iOS-ify everything" zeitgeist took root

That started in 2010, a bit more than 5-10 years.

Cry more.

> And twitter hasn't launched one single meaningful anything since.

Longer tweets? Analytics? Premium? Grok? AI autogenerated news summaries? Livestreaming? I honestly have a harder time trying to think of features launched between 2011 and 2022, besides spaces.

If you can use a criteria to finance academia [1] you can use the reverse to define what DEI is. Every major corporation had DEI departments and yet it doesn't exist, it's a ghost.

I really hope the backlash to this bullshit finally reaches europe.

Same song and dance for 14 years straight, there is no SJW you're just imagining them, it's just called being a decent human being, they say as they kick me repeatedly in the face.

It used to be that annoying noobs were aggressively told to RTFM, their feelings got hurt and they would go away. That probably was too harsh. But then came corporate OSS and with it corporate HR in OSS. Being the BOFH was now bad, gatekeeping was bad. Now everyone feels entitled to the maintainer time and maintainers burn out.

It's a trade off, we made it collectively.

Why does this say it's been posted 8 hours ago but on hn.algolia.com is archived 2 days ago, also I'm sure I already saw it yesterday.

If they didn't say it they heavily implied it to the point that journalists were fooled. For example you can read about it in this very quaint 2018 article that went with a woke "it's your fault I'm disfunctionally paranoid" angle: https://www.cnet.com/culture/amazon-go-avoid-discrimination-....

    No one cared what I was doing. Is this what it feels like to shop when you're not black?  

Turns out people did care what she was doing.

Nothing has been "proven". The original story was The Information (paywalled article) reshared by Business Insider [1] and claimed that 70% of the transactions were reviewed by an indian. The source was an anonymous source.

Business Insider also reached out to Amazon at the time and a spokesperson denied that actually reviewed any transactions.

This "proven false" thing is just another anonymous source claiming that actually it was only 20%.

So you actually have no proof of anything, you just have three persons claiming three different things (0%, 20% and 70%).

Declining industrially and demographically, no innovation, soaring energy prices, and our share of the world economy has shrunk for ten years straight and is projected to continue shrinking in the future. By all metrics us europeans are losers.

She Just Did It™

AFAIK Rob Pike has been retired for years.

This is completely wrong. First, disabling overcommit is wasteful because of fork and because of the way thread stacks are allocated. Sorry, you don't get exact memory accounting with C, not even Windows will do exact accounting of thread stacks.

Secondly, memory is a global resource so you don't get local failures when it's exhausted, whoever allocates first after memory has been exhausted will get an error they might be the application responsible for the exhaustion or they might not be. They might crash on the error or they might "handle it", keep going and render the system completely unusable.

No, exact accounting is not a solution. Ulimits and configuring the OOM killer are solutions.

What they should do, actually, is sue the EU for harassment in the US, like 4chan and the kiwifarms did with the UK. And then the EU can start firewalling X. Firewall everything bad, age gate everything, throw up the great firewall of the EU. I need Brussels to protect my freedoms.

> why is 70kb of source code a problem?

It isn't but then everyone does it and then everyone does it recursively and 70kb become 300MB and then it matters. Not to mention that "well constructed, well tested, well distributed" are often actually overengineered and poorly maintained.

Where were you in the last 6 years? Ah, I see, people you didn't like were being censored so you didn't care.

Version 1 was never licensed to anyone. Version 2 was only licensed to universities for an undiscolsed price. Version 3 was sold as a book, I think this is the version you are referring to. However note that this version contained a license that only allowed non commercial uses of the source code. It also came with no support, no community and no planned updates (the project was shelved half a year later in favor of inferno)

More than the price tag the problem is that plan 9 wasn't really released until 2004.

Ask yourself who is more legitimized to take such enforcement actions: a handful of privately owned corporations acting in concert or a democratically elected government?

No, the "first amendment only applies to government" is cope of the highest degree, it was always a cope.

You accepted that an oligopoly could dictate what you could do with devices you owned because it suited your preferences and now that you are on the other side of the sword you squirm.

The correct answer was neither all along.

Hopefully this will give people pause the next time they think about linking to https://xkcd.com/1357/.

> 2800 day streak here, primarily in Finnish. I haven't been a fan of the app for a long time, but the problem I've always had switching is the question: What else?

Something from this list https://comprehensibleinputwiki.org/wiki/Finnish or reading with lute if everything there is too advanced.

I think you are reading that wrong, go.sum isn't a list of dependencies it's a list of checksums for modules that were, at some point, used by this module. All those different versions of the same module listed there, they aren't all dependencies, at most one of them is.

Assuming 'go mod tidy' is periodically run go.mod should contain all dependencies (which in this case seems to be shy of 300, still a lot).

> Or you can look at apartheid and post apartheid South Africa - when the political structure flipped, so did the academic scores of the groups

Do you have a source for this. As far as I can verify this is not true, the gap in achievement persisted and the cause is usually attributed to the legacy of apartheid.

Maybe it would help if you articulated it even a little bit.

> capitalism + technology relies on unpaid, voluntary labour

You are falling into the breadtube trap of faulting capitalism for a societal issue that has nothing to do with it. Did capitalism force people to have productive hobbies? Would you prefer a system, other than capitalism, that prevented people from having productive hobbies?

Often times this error relies on the assumption that capitalism is what's preventing us from having an "idealized" version of communism that I've heard aptly described as Gay Luxury Space Communism, where anyone can do anything they want and society just magically pays for it. The problem is that GLSC isn't real, we'd need ~infinite resources to do it.

I personally blame this problem on charities. This is the type of problem that charities and foundations should solve but there is no safeguard for charity money actually going to the charity's cause of action, instead the moment you create any kind of non profit it transforms into Non Profit (inc) and all the money it received goes to (1) professional non-profit people for the job of raising money and redistributing it, (2) shuffled to other non-profits, (3) thinly disguised political activism.

The European Union needs to immediately build its own sovereign ecosystem where its citizens will finally be able to enjoy the full protections of EU regulations, such as chat control, digital ID laws and censorship of vaguely defined "hate speech".

We need to fight the Washington fashists who want to deprive us of our "democracy with european characteristics".

This basically matches my experience with Anki exactly. It's too easy to learn something that's on the front of the card other than the piece of information that you are trying to learn. I've also been thinking about the same solution.

It didn't, though. JSON schema is basically dead in the water.

2020 ~ 2021 was a crazy crazy time. I hope we never get back there.

Interesting, but in general it does not imply that. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondeterministic_finite_automa...

I don't think this captures the whole situation. Much of what makes comprehensible input comprehensible, at lower levels, is presence of visual hints.
