I had only recently thought about this when YouTube announced they were hiding the video dislike count. Killing off Yahoo Answers is far worse.

Phrases like "the algorithm" have started showing up in all kinds of videos and texts, not just in tech-centric ones. They had to, now that said algorithm is tied to the ability of certain people to make money and survive. The effect that Big Tech has on our lives and on human history is becoming more and more profound.
The horror of prisons is tied just as much to the people that occupy them. If there wasn’t so much violence in prison, it would be easier to create a better living environment.
If one is interested in parsing the CK3 scripts / game files (briefly showed in the post) to dissect the wonderful world of PDS games, there's a js library for parsing these files:

Using leverage isn't the same thing as belonging to a corrupt union. If anything, your leverage should be used to improve said union, if you have it. The same energy and fervor that goes into establishing a union presence and and should also be used to maintain it through positions of leadership and involvement within the union.

I agree that not all unions are fantastic, but staying on the sidelines when you could use your position to influence for the betterment of everyone is a very privileged, selfish act.

Oh now it's a future fantasy wonderland where everyone's a genius!

This isn't even a hypothetical anymore, it's just a load of techbro fantasising.
This is part of the huge and unending clusterfuck of vulnerabilities that people find in the Windows graphics stack, which was wisely moved to kernel space early on in NT's life, which makes all these vulnerabilities much more critical than they would be otherwise.
we don't have the hospital capacity for seasonal flu victims.
In practical terms, it still provides some (low) level of security. If an attacker can't get IP packets to your machine because it's on an un-routable address, they can't attack it. If your attacker is getting "cooperation" from your ISP to route to it, you have bigger things to worry about it.

Obviously you should really use a firewall...
Just came here to say - JetBrains IDEs have fantastic debugging.
It's a follow-up to a previous article bemoaning the lack of a randomised controlled trial of parachutes and arguing that they should not therefore be accepted as a valid 'treatment' for falling out of an aeroplane (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC300808/).

Both this article and its predecessor were published in the Christmas issue of the BMJ, where funny papers with a semi-serious point (in these cases, the ongoing debates in medicine about the superiority of RCTs over other forms of clinical evidence) are common.

My favourite of this genre is "Does Peppa Pig encourage inappropriate use of primary care resources?" (https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.j5397) critiquing the clinical practice of Dr Brown Bear, a fictional cartoon GP.
"... On reflection I think the questioning about Delicious that we failed to articulate was not "how are we different" in a feature sense, but 'what will we do differently that makes money where they didn't.' ..."

I have a take on this. You, "Thurston" have just been stood up by a selective "match-making" agency. Have you blown your shot at getting access to the hot date? Maybe, maybe not. The agency is very picky. They have a captive market and a select clientèle. There is also a big mis-match between information the agency has over the candidate. The agency knows things you "Thurston" and other candidates do not - the intimate needs of the client, the market and other candidates.

The agency look at you and see something promising, but they have a suspicion - no a big question mark - is Thurston better in a right kind of way compared to a previous hot candidate who we'll call "Dave". Dave was made of the right stuff and quickly got snatched up but never really clicked. Something wasn't right. Dave was liked by the right people, lots of people and made all the right moves but something was lacking? The client liked Dave but Dave never pulled in the big bucks and now the middle of a messy divorce. Everyone lost, except perhaps Dave :)

So when the agency look at you, Thurston they do so through the eyes of the client and ask hard questions: "what money can you make that Dave couldn't?". There's one other thing the agency see, 76 weeks. They ask themselves, "Thurstons been on the market for 76 weeks & he hasn't yet how to capitalise! This is now our clients major concern. Can the candidate make the big bucks?"

Access denied!

Sad but that is one possible way to view the outcome. There are plenty of hot dates out there so get out there and find a way!
I feel there's often too much focus on the execution phases in introductory texts. I've done quite a bit of scripting in a proprietary derivative of AWK (primary difference: multidimensional arrays and structs) and I've never used the execution phases in any of those scripts. I really don't see them as an inherent, defining part of the language.
"A good idea for a movie doesn't mean it's a good movie. A bad idea for a movie doesn't mean it's a bad idea."

This is exactly what I meant when I said that the quality of an idea is a marginal factor in the success of an endeavor. I fully agree that execution should be the main focus.

What I was trying to say is that not all ideas are equal. You can always make a worse movie with a better idea, or vice versa, but some ideas are easier to pull off than others. Given the exact same level of execution, "Batman fights the Joker" will beat "Random nobody in Nebraska sits in the dark eating cereal" every single time.

If all ideas are of equal quality, why would Hogan's Heroes be an excellent example? Wouldn't all examples then be equally good or bad?

Hogan's Heroes is an excellent example precisely because the idea is harder to pull off than other ideas. If you gave Hogan's Heroes and American Idol each to 100 teams to turn into a show, I believe American Idol would become a hit with greater frequency than Hogan's Heroes.
Does the Bitgravity stream have audio?
I think it's dangerous for you and the folks around you to be doing something other than driving your car and paying attention to the driving environment.

So instead I'd recommend to try shortening your drive or switching to a passive commute like a bus or train.
Sounds like something you would go to your local "sensual items" shop for, and given Rule 34, it likely already exists. Certainly some candied versions do.
We're not happy about the restriction either, and hopefully we'll run a Battlecode that doesn't have a programming language restriction, but we haven't found a way to deal with limited instruction count execution that we are happy with that is machine independent, and counting Java bytecode has worked for us so far.

If there are other JVM languages people want supported, we'd be happy to take pull requests on Github once we make the new gameplay public tomorrow.
If Nintendo invested more in curation, visibility, and filtering tools the shovelware wouldn't be such a problem for me. I only have so much time I'm willing to look at titles and if I see 90% crap I'm less likely to make purchases.

Netflix also has unlimited inventory space and they spend tons of engineering effort in optimizing the content they show people when they launch the app.
I didn't need to see more "CCP oppresses people" proof. I asked specifically for the linked video and the specific law. Just because other bad things happen doesn't mean all things are true. You are bringing unrelated topics into the conversation that are sure to start a nationalistic flamewar.
Not addressing anything else you raised but width and height are insufficient for making network performance and network budget decisions. Image size in pixels doesn't correlate that well with file size due to differences in color depth but mainly compression.
There is no reason why an M2 or M1X (or whatever ends up in the Mac Pro) can't have ECC and more PCIe lanes.
Either these Bloomberg reporters are excellent and stick to principles in the face of condemnation or terrible hacks unwilling to take a loss.

True. Java has improved substantially since java8 (including something kinda sorta like case classes with record types in jdk15) but I still think Scala is miles better. I don't think it is generally appreciated how essential higher-minded types and typeclasses are to making functional programming tractable and safe. Perhaps because it is something that is generally hidden away in libraries and developers working on actual application code (i.e. 99% of scala devs) never use them.
One thing which I can highly recommend to anyone with motivation problems and help beat the procrastination is pomodoro technique [1]. When I'm stuck or can't make the first move to get into the work mood, I just hit the pomodoro timer. Somehow the ticking clock gives me boost and puts me into hours of productive work. Always! It's the only technique which works 100% in my case. Try it out for yourself.

You're avoiding the question of "how do we choose who doesn't get access to a scarce resource" there though.

It is all very well to say "we'll prioritise illnesses that kill people", but pretty much every death can be traced back to an illness. Even the ageing process could reasonably be defined as an illness, it probably will be one day if the world hasn't gotten there already. That leaves the unlimited nature of healthcare as an open problem. We all die, and arguably anything other than an accident death is people dying sick.

> Then, you (as a society) ... define what "adequate" means based on your resources.

Your country, and the US if if isn't your country, has already done that. The political process asked that question with Obamacare, for example. That is pretty recent accounting of what resources are available and what the people thought they could do with them.

And you've not grappled with the key question - we aren't going to use wealth to decide who gets healthcare. Ok, take that as a premise, we aren't using wealth to decide allocation questions. So someone comes up and says they need more healthcare. We don't have the resources to deal with them. What is the criteria where they get told no vs someone else loses treatment? You're not allowed to say "well, we're assuming there is enough for both" because there are finite resources and infinite demands. We aren't dealing with food here where everyone can reasonably be fed. Everyone suffers from diseases and could use healthcare.
I see things almost completely opposite to you. Twenty years ago we had far less diverse access to information. You would get things from your local newspaper, or tv networks. Professionals would work and filter what we see. Today anyone can fire up a blog, twitter, youtube, and start talking about anything. People today thus have been getting exposed to all kinds of ideas, and being taken in by them: the earth is flat, the election was stolen, etc, and believing it.

I think a lot of HN readers who are fairly sophisticated forget that half of the world is not. Diverse information diets are not a good thing, because most people are not equipped to understand what is reasonable.
The supreme court has ruled that speech presenting "imminent public danger" is not protected (i.e. free) speech.

Yeah, I wonder if anybody has done studies on the psychological damage of developers working on shitty accumulated cruft?

It's definitely a form of mental dissonance.

Sadly, everything runs real slow on Firefox. I'd be using Chrome if it had Ad Block Plus.
Your requirements and your budget. Clearly document both.
It isn't a problem at all. I just wanted to stress that we made it public with a lot more to do. That matters in the context of some kind of write up about our experience.
This suggestion is impractical as the attack works with even fairly small Content-Length.
Say 10000 and sending 1 byte per second will limit you to 10kb uploads but still give each connection hours to run.
Since most IO timeouts are fairly large you can even with a limit of 1000 bytes run a connection for hours until you hit this limit.

The only solution is to limit connections per IP and maybe defining a minimum speed can help too.
This seems odd. Didn't Google ban the use of Windows by their employees awhile back?
Like skybrian's reply mentioned, I don't think this is actually an area where Flow is much stronger than TypeScript, if at all. AFAIK, virtually all vanilla JavaScript should also readily compile as TypeScript.

In my mind the difference is that TypeScript doesn't purport to analyze the correctness of regions of code that lack type annotations. Meanwhile, Facebook claims that "Flow understands the control flow through the program."[0] That's great in theory, and maybe their control flow analysis is really quite sophisticated, but ultimately isn't this isomorphic to the halting problem?

Ridiculous - who on earth is making these kinds of decisions?
I know with a lot of HP printers you can just send whatever you want printed to a special HP email address as an email attachment and it will print.
This is nothing new for Apple; back around 2007 it removed the complaints of hundreds of iMac owners that regions of their display screens were failing, a year or two after purchase.

I was one of those owners (the hard drive had already failed). Last straw for me. GrrrApple.
Thanks! Again I'm not trying to belittle the project, I just know that I benefit from more descriptive titles.
No, that's not the case. A carbon tax is effective regardless of the use of the revenue.
>Are you claiming that desktop linux would not have been adopted by enterprises if they could get the same document render and be editable exactly the same manner irrespective of the vendor software being used ?

I am ABSOLUTELY claiming that. No legitimate enterprise is going to roll-their-own Linux desktop. They're still going to want a centralized directory server tied into their mail server as well. So now they need to replace AD with? Exchange with? And they're paying Redhat or Canonical an enterprise support fee on every desktop. So now they get to retrain their entire workforce (as well as additional training for all new hires) in order to save? 5%? 10%? What's the magic number you think makes them want to go through the business disruption of that kind of a change?
You should looks at Democratic strongholds if you think they are somehow better. As a Californian I’ll say the level of corruption/cronyism in our state is insane relative to that seen in others. We literally got conned into giving Nancy Pelosi’s family a huge ($50B+) contract with our high speed rail bill, that isn’t going to be what we voted on at all[1]. Democrats and Republicans are 2 sides of the same coin. This is very apparent with the rise of Anti-Trumpism.

An argument that the Phoebus Cartel was actually working in the interests of the general public? I'm impressed.

Related: is there any good source of reviews for LED bulbs that go into flicker (I seem to notice 120Hz flicker) and CRI? My local hardware store stocks a relatively paltry selection of bulbs (all built to cost), and I'm reluctant to experiment with the medium-size orders necessary to make shipping worthwhile.

Could you clarify what sounds you find annoying. There's only two:

I had noticed something was different about the new Maps app but I hadn't paid attention to the details and put it together what was happening. Of course now that they mention it's all vector based it's blatantly obvious when you watch the screen render. Absolutely wonderful.

This is a great idea and could really compliment 3G networks.

The whole thing is based on Observable (www.observablehq.com)

You’ll find plenty of onboarding stuff there if you’re interested.

Observable is great, but it’s got some annoying traits (saas only, lock in, no 2d layouts, no tabs) which make it not well suited to solving business problems.
Interesting. I'd love to long and short flags be standardized. Their variable implementations are highly confusing for users.
Thanks, I didn’t know it only applied to civil charges. “ civil suits are the only means by which individuals or their families can get compensation for the violation of their constitutional or civil rights. And, in practice, civil lawsuits are often the only means to seek justice at all because prosecutors—themselves government workers—are typically reluctant to bring criminal charges against their government colleagues, especially police officers who are crucial to the work prosecutors do on a daily basis.”
Yeah... I'm still trying to figure out what the illegal part was. Maybe they used the Nike logo on a web site promoting the shoes? Or maybe they repositioned the Nike logo on the shoe? Just having the logo on the shoe wouldn't be a problem. The logo was put there by Nike.

I think we need different app/server as matrix servers depend on one software ig., matrix engine.
Imagine if theres vulnerability it will affect all matrix servers.
There is the rest of the world. Your point still stands though.
The featured comment is great, for those who missed it:

I am a physician who did a computer science degree before medical school. I frequently use the Therac-25 incident as an example of why we need dual experts who are trained in both fields. I must add two small points to this fantastic summary.

1. The shadow of the Therac-25 is much longer than those who remember it. In my opinion, this incident set medical informatics back 20 years. Throughout the 80s and 90s there was just a feeling in medicine that computers were dangerous, even if the individual physicians didn't know why. This is why, when I was a resident in 2002-2006 we still were writing all of our orders and notes on paper. It wasn't until the US federal government slammed down the hammer in the mid 2000's and said no payment unless you adopt electronic health records, that computers made real inroads into clinical medicine.

2. The medical profession, and the government agencies that regulate it, are accustomed to risk and have systems to manage it. The problem is that classical medicine is tuned to "continuous risks." If the Risk of 100 mg of aspirin is "1 risk unit" and the risk of 200 mg of aspirin is "2 risk units" then the risk of 150 mg of aspirin is strongly likely to be between 1 and 2, and it definitely won't be 1,000,000. The mechanisms we use to regulate medicine, with dosing trials, and pharmacokinetic studies, and so forth are based on this assumption that both benefit and harm are continuous functions of prescribed dose, and the physician's job is to find the sweet spot between them.

When you let a computer handle a treatment you are exposed to a completely different kind of risk. Computers are inherently binary machines that we sometimes make simulate continuous functions. Because computers are binary, there is a potential for corner cases that expose erratic, and as this case shows, potentially fatal behavior. This is not new to computer science, but it is very foreign to medicine. Because of this, medicine has a built in blind spot in evaluating computer technology.
Yup this. In much the same way as things like judging the productivity of software developers by the number of lines of code they write. It sounds like a good idea to the inexperienced, and it may even seem sort of true if you look at it in the right way. But we all know, as soon as you try to make consequential decisions based on it, it will immediately be gamed and not true anymore.
