All sorts of shit. There's so little time for anything anymore. I'm considering retiring a few years early to get some hacking done.

I remember hearing netbsd had support for using Lua to write network drivers and then never heard anything else.

Is that still a thing? I've had netbsd on my weekend to-do list for years but just have never found enough time or motivation.

What's so great about netbsd?

This is correct, thanks for fighting the disinformation!

I already addressed it.

Without censorship, decentralized products can thrive. And they currently are.

HN's response was "but they're not very big!!!1!"

There's plenty of kiddie porn on facebook, instagram, twitter. They hide it other images or scramble the images themselves to fool filters.

Or did you think that magically goes away because it's centralized?

GS instances have ways to block content instance-wide. So spam and porn filters can catch items and prevent all users on the instance from seeing it.

I don't know if ActivityPub specifies things like that in the spec yet, but moderation is of course a huge factor in the success of the fediverse. Lots of work is devoted to it.

Incredibly, nobody needs to be censored. The offending poster can be reported to authorities and handled from there without ever having to tell a user what they can and cannot post.

People made this argument about cars when they were still riding horseback.

Let's not defend the worse thing here.

I think very strict moderation will come into auto taxis. If I'm paying a lease on a car, or better yet if I'm lending time in my own autonomous car, I'm going to exercise extremely judicious moderation. If it's not clean after UserABC rides, he never rides again. Simple.

IRC, gnusocial, xmpp, sms to some degree, ham radio, etc.

The absence of censorship I think will prove to be tangible enough to make products like peertube successful.

This isn't true across the board. There's a lot of primitive shitheads out there but there are still civilized humans also.

You think typing a mean comment online is worse behavior than outright lying to your own customers?

Objective conversation should specifically reject externality. That's a fifth wave myth anyways.

Stealing and lying is definitely worse than being mean online.

I specifically said networked....

I guess I could have specified networked over the Internet......

But that was a time when sub 100ms latency for networked gaming had never really been experienced. If you never played faster you wouldn't notice it when it's slower, I'd think.

I'd love to see like a browser extension to news aggregators that works like that. I'm sure there are lots of things a few clicks away from a lot of the articles that get posted.

What is the likelihood that Google actually pays the fine?

What's most likely to happen for users in EU?

Lazy press operators. Maybe they thought they were doing someone a favor by shortcutting.

Just a guess, obv I wasn't there.

It's a range depending on other aspects.

Or do you think the human body ticks down 480 minutes exactly?

There is no reason to sleep more than 8-9.5hrs. If you are sleeping more than this, see a doctor and see what kind of hormones are not balanced.

It's probably not as bad as undersleeping to oversleep, but it's not how your body is supposed to work.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. I took it the other way. It is rather ambiguous.

No shit. The comment you're responding to included the words "catching up"...

Do inmates deserve to make wages?

They're not afforded the liberties of regular workers because they are criminals serving sentences.

Why are WSJ links still allowed on HN?

Or any paid-reader only sources?

You literally just proved my point.

And anyways, I don't work for infowars or any media related corp, so I wouldn't be in a position to accuse someone of libel. I was explaining that there are limits to what you can DO but not what you SAY. You CAN commit libel whenever you want. You MAY be charged and found guilty in court and the rest of your life goes in the toilet, but nobody can stop you from saying it, and I think that's a beautiful thing.

I won't hold your little virtue signal against you though. You probably don't know any better.

And finally, I was referring to the hundreds of other conversations about infowars already on HN. That could've been made more clear on my part.

What bad stuff? Their opinions? Their caricatures?

Not liking something isn't a good enough reason to characterize something as "bad".

In fact, doing so has a name: Libel.

For the lazy, here's a TL;DR

"I'm not a millionaire and I think I should be! It's the rich folks' fault! It's the government's fault! It's technology's fault! I hate it here and I'm not going anywhere!"

-----------------

There's (3.8million - 54)mi of the United States available yo travel to. We can travel freely throughout our great nation, that alone is a huge advantage over many other places in the world.

There's no such thing as gentrification. This is a misunderstanding of real estate and how it works. If rent goes up, you have to pay. If you can't, nobody OWES you anything, you failed the economic selection for that place and now that you can't cut it, you have to relocate.

Come to New York! 30min commute from Hoboken (where I can rent an entire house for 3500/mo) and you have the most advanced tech industry in the country at your fingertips.

The bay sucks. We all know. Just leave.

Who wears their watch on their right hand? That's weird.

Cool demo, I guess.

I relish comments like these from Lisp fans that actually KNOW Lisp.

Someday we'll resurrect it all...

Reader macros blew my mind when I first read about them. Being able to change the very laws of the universe from within my simple little programs... Insane!

Scala has always nurtured that ridiculous notion that an animal that's 50% cat and 50% dog would appeal to both cat-lovers and dog-lovers, which doesn't actually make any sense.

This language is clearly an academic endeavor.

Disclaimer: I don't know what non-linear pattern matching on non-free data means either, but the fact that it's not explained to me is proof enough they aren't meaning to cater to non-academic users.

A gba emulator is my dream project. Gosh I've wanted to sit down and do it forever!

There are some really nice ones out there too. There are a few js-based ones that can run in the browser!

SBT, implicits, CoC controversy and censorship, scalaz/cats debacle... There are more reasons not to get involved with scala ecosystem than to get involved.

I think people get snippet fever when they see a few lines of really pretty code and they forget how tangled up the scala scene actually is.

I can't believe, after seeing more Rails disasters that I know what to do with, that I'm looking at a software project and thinking "this shit is almost as bad as Rails."

Scala 3 could've been the opportunity to murder sbt to death, abandon implicits entirely, make the breaking changes they need and compose the foundation for 10+ more years of scala hackery. But from what's visible out of dotty currently, it's almost entirely invested in the old sins, with a stronger soundness story nonetheless (congrats DOT team). There's just no way to slow the train now, too much of it is dangling off the bridge and Spiderman won't be able to pull it back.

Good riddance. Thank goodness F# is starting to come together.

It's actually the opposite way around for me, but I fill a senior role that intersects directly with high-value vendors. I'm basically on-call 24/7 and I am in the office whenever I feel like it or when I need to work on code.

I log my interactions with my supervisor, he will occasionally check with me to follow up but I can fix 99% of what they call me about on my own. If I need help, it's usually just expert knowledge that I can ask around the office for.

But of course other devs have different roles and workflows.
