Many states have the capability to shoot down the satellites if they violate local rules, but AFAIK whether they would actually be willing to do that is unknown.

2.0 is already supported by Logic and I suspect that Midi 2.0 support will be a good marketing item for midi controllers. So we’ll see but I think its prospects better than IPv6

You might enjoy looking into nix and nixos. It’s designed to make that workflow as bulletproof as possible. One of my coworkers maintains a github repo that describes his exact system, and can create a sandbox that behaves the exact same as

I watched the first 5 minutes of that video and it just seems like someone talking about something they’re interested in, in a relatively normal way. He’s definitely a spaceflight fan but I didn’t see anything that unusual in the part I wat

It would be nice if pull requests and issues were integrated into git somehow, to avoid centralization like this.

Even when I order in person at the local Thai place (there’s no wait service, you just order and they call your name when your food is ready), the person at the counter always asks “do you want to leave a tip?” They also do this when I get

Great read. One thing you may be interested to know: when do you need paxos or similar, and when can you get away with gossip and CRDTs? the answer is that the set of domains that can be expressed using CRDTs is exactly the set of monotonic

modern wood construction is more resistant to fire than steel, steel loses its structural strength when it gets hot while wood chars on the outside (becoming fire resistant) and doesn’t lose its strength

This is a misunderstanding. The goal of cryptocurrencies is not to process transactions. The goal is to order transactions. The order is the hard part. (Notice that if I have one ETH, and I submit a transaction to send alice an ETH and to

transactions on bitcoin cost basically 0 energy too. the bitcoin energy expenditure is from block creation, which is independent from transactions. Of course, bitcoin transactions incentivize block creation, but gold transactions also incen

That’s actually a good question and most bitcoin people don’t know the answer. Bitcoin actually does solve a real technical problem but it’s kind of subtle. The problem is that an SQL database isn’t distributed and trustless, but bitcoin wa

I guarantee the team that worked on this is doing it entirely in parallel to whoever’s working on build quality and autopilot.

Wow, I'm the exact same way. I basically never get anything done before 12 but I'm perfectly happy working until 10pm. I wish I could work earlier because it really disrupts my family life.

I agree, toxic misandry or internalized misandry would be much clearer.

by anchpop 5y ago
Toxic masculinity seems straightforwardly like misandry to me. Someone saying "you're not a real woman unless you're skinny" would obviously be considered misogynistic, so someone saying "you're not a real man

I think you’re absolutely right here. I’ve noticed that there’s already an analogous concept to “toxic masculinity” for women, which is “internalized misogyny”. An example of internalized misogyny is when women believe they have to be rail-

I don’t get the “I can’t tell what’s clickable” complaint. I just opened up spotify and it’s obvious what’s clickable and what isn’t. Same for gmail. I don’t remember having any issue learning how to use these either.

I don't think so. I think the issue is that people don't multiply correctly. A 1 in 1000 chance of death is actually very high, it just doesn't seem high because 1/1000 seems like a small number. But a small number (1&#x

unison cheats at this by being interpreted, if it weren’t it would have the same build times as everyone else (I suppose caching would be better in some cases, but i’m not sure if they’d be much better than what you get with nix?)

> Therefore you would put everything you could into the Redux store, which is a bad idea -- you usually don't need form state in there, for example. Why's that? IME it is usually simplest to just put everything in redux. For ex
