A more pertinent point is that if your website doesn't really need JavaScript, and most don't, then it will be faster, more reliable and require less maintenance if you simply don't use it. There are also security risks if you depend on a huge tree of JavaScript libraries from unidentified people.

I've lost count of the number of times I have been unable to buy something online because JavaScript bugs or incompatibilities prevented me from completing the purchase. (It's probably about two or three times. I'm bad at counting, OK?)
Most commercial dealers will have them - the same places you'd go to buy a van (in the UK at least). I've used them for work in a couple of contexts (usually Mazda ones for whatever reason) and they've been great.
Uh, have you heard about Astronomy at all? Admittedly it's purely observational measurements, but you'd need a very poor philosophy of science to deny that the careful measurement of radiation is not an experiment.

As for trials, the universe itself has provided billions upon billions of different objects to perform measurements on.
> and which of them are required to function.

On the iOS App Store, none of the optional permissions can be required for an app to perform it's basic functions - that's a store policy, and it's generally well enforced. Obviously if your app's function is mapping, GPS can be required to use those features (but only at the user's discretion - ie while running or all the time, granular or coarse), but the app can't just refuse to launch without it.
I think problem in high frequency ternary isn't primarily transistors but interconnection. When using voltage levels like -1, 0, 1 on one wire, switching from -1 to 1 goes through 0 briefly and you need to guard against that. Binary does not have this problem. Using two wires (which take up 2x space) introduces intermediate states instead by timing differences between individual wires. This case is ubiquitous problem also in binary, called hazards. There are various solutions, like gray code (only one wire changes at a time) but they increase complexity.

Perhaaaaps if we had photonics with polarization signalling in 3 axes....
I did a security review of a hospital's mainframe that was also used by student doctors.

The one thing that kept standing out, because it came up so often, was a very solid belief that the patient records that the students could access were anonymized so there was "no way" a student could connect a record with a specific patient. Pretty much everyone involved had absolute unwavering belief in this. They often expressed this in the form of obvious doubt in my ability to do anything that would make the expenses of the gig worthwhile, and pre-blaming the privacy commissioner for any failures to find anything.

My report got a particularly wild response, as I provided several different scripts searching out and combining various student-accessible databases and returning very clear personal identifiable information. Some of the methods were trivial. Eg: I tied one set of patient records to a story from the news and demonstrated there were quite a few other patients with that same exposure potential. They were so focused on what you could tie together internally that they neglected to consider Googling for news stories that might result in a new patient at this particular hospital. And that very simple method made it super easy to find specific patient's info, and tie it together to a rather detailed history of that particular person's visits from that point, connected to other visits (some completely unrelated) before and after the incident I found in the news.

There's nothing wrong with a doctor being that confident about their own skills. I'd be terrified of a doctor who wasn't. But that doesn't transfer very well to the IT side of things. I don't know if they thought the audit was focusing on them, or that they might get in some sort of trouble (even though none of it would be their fault) but it was clear until I presented the results that they absolutely resented their environment being tested by a third party at all. It wasn't about them, but they were trying to be gatekeepers until eventually I could convince them I wasn't there to ruin their day.

In the end, they were fascinated by the results, and seemed to enjoy finding out how much data mining gold was right there to be had.

It's the first and only time one of my reports had to be heavily redacted before it was provided to the stakeholders. I think everyone (including myself) learned quite a bit from that gig.
Food I’m expecting, so I pick up. Usually my phone actually tells me it’s DoorDash calling, which is nice.

Just about all the others get to go to voicemail and I’ll read the vm messages at my leisure as my phone transcribes them for me.
Dunning-Kruger curve is quite effective. It's usually the new converts who are most fanatical. Some might be experienced and also humbly confident. Your best bet is usually the people who go "I could be wrong, but..." or "In my opinion..."

There are certain people who have very strong opinions on everything and are usually wrong. You could figure it out from their comment history.
I happen to suspect that RMS is wrong on the pedophilia point, but if all you can say about it is that you find it disgusting, alarm bells should be going off in your head that there may be something here which You Can't Say (in the http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html sense).

This all reminds me of the sexuality portrayed among children in Brave New World, or the supposed homosexuality of Ancient Greece. What I suspect is happening here is that even voluntary pedophilia is harmful for children relative to our current society, but who knows what the case would be in a very differently structured society. Sexuality by definition is largely about how we relate with other people, so what is our isn't harmful in sexual development almost certainly depends at least in part on the society we live in.

Which means that forces that want to conserve the relevant aspects of our society have an incentive to censor RMS on any thoughts along those lines.
At some deep level, a key to understanding abstract-algebraic objects is to think about them geometrically.

I've encountered a surprising number of people who think that posting your email address publicly is a security risk.
Or you could just say explicitly what you think is missing from the course called "Analysis I" that I linked to, instead of making vague insinuations. Your call.
Probably not, because if you count indirect uses, the rate goes to practically zero. The internet is deeply embedded in, for example, all of the infrastructure we use. Or your doctor will probably use the internet to look up symptoms and medications. So if they have any connection to society at all, you can say they indirectly benefited from the internet.

Technically, the few isolated island tribes might count as not benefiting from the internet.
There's a selection effect: people like me experience so much ambient hostility in society that we gravitate towards communities that welcome us and that already have people like us in leadership positions. So the correct metric is not % of all developers as a whole but just the ones involved in the Rust community.

The Rust community has many nonbinary and transgender people in it, and speakers are selected from the community. The selection process for RustConf is blind so the talks were picked for their merit: it just so happened that half of the speakers weren't cis.

> rust is a very unique community

Yes, this is true in my experience.
Until I was 13, I belonged to an Indian sect and strongly believed that I, like everyone else, had the incarnation of the one God within me, who also happened to coincide with a short Indian man named Sai Baba. At the time of my Christian confirmation (I belonged to an otherwise protestant community), my minister couldn't give me any satisfactory answers to my questions. At that point, I believe I started thinking for myself, because that's when I picked up programming also. Today I'm an atheist.

I miss the Indian comicbooks with the blue men, though.
We bought the Logitech gear for a Zoom Room years ago for our office. It was a 4K camera and participants in meetings would frequently remark on the high quality video stream. Of course, we also had a symmetric gigabit fiber connection so that probably helped.
If you're on AWS I strongly recommend EC2 Instance Connect, which uses the AWS CLI and IAM to issue short lived SSH keys that are automatically accepted by EC2 instances you have been granted access to via IAM policies.
Wow. Four jokes in a row. Is this a reddit thread or a hacker news thread? I can't tell any more.
They aren't switching from lithium. In the tweet he even says there's plenty of lithium. They are switching from a nickel cathode to an iron cathode due to the scarcity/cost of nickel.

The title should definitely be changed. It makes it sound like they are going to a completely different battery technology.
The old Print Preview actually allowed you to inspect the page with the Developer Tools. Which was great for debugging print-specific CSS. I don't think that's possible with the new Print Preview, but the new one is better in every other way.
What do you consider speak? I know one phase in each of French and Russian - though I'm sure my accent is so bad natives would have trouble understanding me. I can read Spanish, and produce simple sentences that are not memorized, but I'm not on the level of a conversation. So how many languages do you want to say I speak? You can creditably argue 1,2, or 4 from the above.
> Some apps, like Facebook, allow for some data tracking to be manually disabled. But by default, it is turned on. That gives the company reams of personal data on who we are and what we are doing, which it then vacuums up, packages and sells.

My understanding is that Facebook does not sell this data, but rather lets advertisers create hyper-targeted ads, which are only possible because of this data.

Edit: Certainly not trying to defend Facebook here (in the slightest). Just trying to correct an inaccuracy in the article.
I created Udid.io together with my team called MacBuildServer.

Udid.io has an API, so you may generate link for your beta users and grab theirs devices UDIDs to set up properly mobileprovision configuration for your iOS app builds.

I want to hear from you. We've got a number of API users and I want to know if there any more features you would like to have in this tiny web-app...

Additionally, I want to hear what we can improve, or any ideas regarded to monetization of such service. Now it's absolutely free, but uses Google AdSense and it makes UDID.io looking not good. Probably you could recommend what to add to make us able to remove Google Ads ;)
I see why you might link to the page you did since it has some additional information, and even provides a link to the more recent edition, but be aware that this is an old version of PLAI that has been updated as recently as 2012 [0].

Furthermore, the cs173 class at Brown now uses a different book, Programming and Programming Languages [1], that was updated as recently as 2014. It's very much in the same spirit, but uses Pyret instead of plai-typed.

Another thing to note is that cs173 had a MOOC-like online offering in 2012, and the videos are still available [2].

We update the table schema as we run into new fields, up to a limit. We also store the unstructured part of the data in a column that can be queried via json_extract_path_text.
If you had a vulnerability in an EHR that was run locally at many different hospitals a hacker would still have to target every single hospital that uses it and wade their way through a bunch of different custom configurations. It's not as juicy a target as a cloud-based system where a single vulnerability can get ALL the data of ALL the hospitals EVER in one location. (Like the Anthem hack.) I agree that most locally run systems are more vulnerable than the professional cloud based services. But cloud services are more exposed to attack and are a more profitable target for hackers due to their size.

I think you have to assume that you're going to be hacked if you're a big enough target. You don't know what you don't know about your vulnerabilities. The better question is how you're going to design your data and platform to minimize the damage a major hack can do.

I think Scott needs to re-engineer his idea virus, it's not quite on the mark. Ultimately, it will only ever (at best) end up as a famous quote like "Give peace a chance" for similar mentioned reasons, but also because the virus doesn't offer immediacy. It's not something that an individual whose been infected with the virus can act on, rather it's something that will ultimately require collective action on. To be more power, Scott should revise the idea virus such that the transfered idea is something simple, and can be taken on by an individual that will ultimately lead to the end of war.

I'll leave the revision to Scott himself, but I will offer an example.

For instance, if my goal is to ultimately solve cancer:
A simple catchy saying "Donate $1 today, Write it off Tomorrow -IRS.".

The idea is catchy because it implies personal benefit as a direct compensation. "Writing it off", hell every one wants a way to reduce how much money gets sucked up by taxes every year. To imply that being generous, we can alleviate some of our tax woes, the idea gains traction with people. Of course, the truth is you need a certain net amount of donations to really write it off, and even if you do, you don't gain any money you simply choose where it is spent--the over all net result is still a loss. But that simple matter isn't caught by those rational filters.

Obviously, the idea doesn't constrain what is donated to and as such could be donated to some opensource project not even related to cancer research. Nor would a single dollar donation likely benefit any cause, much less cancer research.
However the net effect of the idea, is an overall increase in charitable giving. More money is given, by more people, as the idea spread. The best part about the idea is the immediate positive feedback. Unlike Scott's initial "Education is the antidote of war", an idea like "Donate $1 today, write it off tomorrow" is more likely to spread and achieve it's ultimate goal.

I think Scott should revise his approach by simply adding a fourth trait: An idea virus must be actionable on the individual level.
I'm a little blur in the background. Yay. :D
I don't know about you but all I do all day is constantly click the keyboard on and off, and open/close the kick stand... Just over and over again, like I am a QA robot...

But seriously, Microsoft has some of the worst advertising period. I cannot think of a major company which is worse than Microsoft at advertising in general.
I am not detail oriented, this is a weakness but it is also the reason I can see the big picture and build generic & solid code architecture. As other said, don't worry, if you practice, practice, practice you'll get better with time. Pairing with a detail oriented devs is also very illuminating : ask them about their thought process.
How long have you been coding? I personally think this will improve, because most errors repeat themselves and you'll get more cautios when you write lines that are potentially error prone (boolean logic, off-by-1 errors etc.).
Give me CommonMark and I'm in. No not really I will just forget to publish content like I always do.
As it happens, the author of the article just inexplicably cut out the transcript of doing the middle two steps, which are indeed necessary for the player to perform the ritual.

It's possible that it would still be too fiddly for you, but modern parser-based text adventures have gotten a lot better since the Infocom days in this way. Probably the biggest reason is that games like Hadean Lands have dozens of beta testers play through it doing whatever their heart desires and providing feedback on puzzles and potential parser holes prior to an official release.
Not a lot of people live in climates where it goes under -20C. Folks in Eastern Canada seem to be doing fine with 250 mile EVs as well.

And then have users bitching about not being able to install a bare-bones Android on it? :-)

I don't think going with Android is good. How could they offer anything more compelling than HTC or Samsung or Motorola, which are small players compared to Nokia?

I also think going with WM7 is suicide, but YMMV.
Is it really worth their while for a relatively small amount of money? A known quantity of missing chips is very different to a counterfeiting operation, and I assume if they switch to the new set then they have to go to the trouble of printing up a new new set.
Even though I would prefer Meego all the way, I agree that Nokia and WP7 could be extraordinary. They could mark the standard for business phones. Hardware like the Nokia E7 and full MS office integration. At our company (big car company) they're rolling out iPhones to the management which is just ridiculous.
Except that they don't pay shareholders. The only way shareholders can get paid for the foreseeable future is to have an appreciated stock price. Just correcting a statement, not commenting on the donation, so take it for what it is. :)

No, we have never declared or paid a cash dividend nor do we expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future."
Largely matches my experiences as a long-term visitor to the US. Particular points that made me nod my head:

But the rejoinder "you're welcome", which once greeted almost any expression of thanks in America, is in retreat.
In its place is a sort of wordless acknowledgement, halfway between a grunt and a hum, "mm-hmmm". It is a sound that acknowledges your thanks but implies that no great joy has been found in helping you either.

I'd almost forgotten about this, but on my first day in the US I thanked a hotel clerk for some service and got an "mmm-hmm" acknowledgement and it felt incredibly rude. I suppose I don't even notice it any more.
Having recently been in college, I know first hand how addicted people get to facebook, always having it open in a tab. This looks similar because now the information isn't stagnant and always available, it's constantly changing. If you don't check it, you might miss out on that cute guy/girl who noticed you, and everyone is always looking for that..right?

I think it's a great idea - but just as quick as it's blowing up, it can also deflate imo. As someone else mentioned, it shouldn't get that chatroullette syndrome, where every post from a girl is met with "down to fuck??!!" and "here's a pic of my penis ___". If it gets labeled as "stalker, creepy, gross, lame" by girls and they leave, guys will obviously follow suit...something to watch for
Soma.fm Tag's Trip progressive house / trance is my audio lubrication. Always changing, never dull, and you may discover a few new favorites to purchase. It's free to listen, but appreciates donations.

There is no reason to believe a mutation is going to render major vaccines useless. The real-life results of the mRNA vaccines against the major variants are very encouraging (see e.g. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pfizer-says-trials-sugg...). Many of the scary lab results were only testing the virus against antibodies, not the full power of a vaccinated person's immune system.
I used to edit OSM quite a bit. It's an odd community though. Some people can get very possessive about "their" regions. I remember once spending a few hours "unbraiding" the intersections on a few major dual carriageway avenues over 20 city blocks or so, which I understand is best practice[1]. Well a day later or so, someone sent me a message very upset and demanding that I revert the changeset that ruined "their" work. I did, and it kind of turned me off from editing. Like, OK fine I won't try to help anymore, jeez.

EDIT: I don't want to dissuade anyone else from trying editing--it's fun. But, beware of the personalities, it can be like editing Wikipedia.

I took a ferry once, and the Seagulls followed the ship and prayed on the fish stirred up to the surface by the ships propeller. This is a very plausible explanation.
I have been working for around 5 years now and haven't stuck to one programming language or framework more than 1-2 years. Not enough to an expert in any of them. Started from c#, than some web, than cpp and some Java, than some DevOps and now full time Java. Been doing Javascript along with out of interest only.

When I tell my friends how I feel about my knowledge and expertise they say I am only suffering from imposter syndrome. May be with more years I do become really good at one or two things.
I had absolutely no problem reading this as SSC denouncing Yarvin, but platforming other prominent members of the neoreactionary movement.
Never read Slate Star Codex before. Took the link to an entry on metoo[1]:

1. Starts with a thought experiment based on statistics from various sources.

2. Has a parenthetical paragraph about gay male harassment, also with statistics.

3. Makes a speculative conclusion inside the parenthetical, never mentioning the famous metoo case of Terry Crews, the media coverage of which argues against said conclusion.

Can someone tell me if the other articles follow this pattern of building from first principles without having first done due diligence on a given topic?

Edit: clarification
Thanks a lot. I hope so. But it doesn't look like. Lets see how it goes.
I understand that side (and I'm personally against Google's behavior, hegemony and influence on almost everything). But Google is one of the few companies that gives back to projects they use. You can't say that of many other companies that use tools and make sure they never contribute back (either financially or as code). As long as they don't put their adcrap in any of those languages or the things around them...
I saw this question posed a few weeks ago and it broke my brain for a few days pondering it:

Is math invented or discovered?
To prove your point: the only post I've ever flagged was one of my own which I'm pretty sure was an accident click.
