Heck, you think that's heart attack inducing?

How about the DreamHost case in which they typed the wrong year in their billing code; charged many of their users for an extra year of service, to the tune of $7.5 million:

why is the absolute overwhelming majority of stuff in the universe (and 100% of things outside of special lab settings) made up from 1st generation matter?

why is it that all stuff made from charm, strange, top, and bottom, quarks decays right away?
Cucumber is very expensive -- it requires you to maintain a set of rules to map English to ruby. And it causes people to continually fiddle with stuff just so that the English reads write. And it adds an abstraction layer, which are also "expensive".

Great expense, little gain -> actively harmful to projects.

You end up spending lots of "testing time" fiddling with cucumber stuff. It feels productive, but you'd have more, better tests writing straight into webrat
I would guess not built to code, or perhaps missing things like fire escapes.

Probably sub standard building material or technique, given that it was ordered to be demolished instead of retrofitted.

For the second part, I’d also train a fastText classifier. It’s cheap to do and can often get very usable results at 1/500th the computing power of a BERT/SBERT model.

Re: the length problem, some ideas:

a) Just use the first part of each doc. For most humans, in most cases, that would be enough to do the classification.

b) Mix head and tail of each doc (i.e. cut out as much of the middle as necessary).

c) Split each doc into as many parts as needed, classify all of them, and then go with the majority vote.

Good luck with the interview!
Curious about statistics, what percent of people speak sign language?
True, she will be judged on the basis of that tape by some people. I did too, at least back when Ray J was the more famous person on it. Long-term, I see it differently. She owned her sexuality and leveraged the notoriety to sell an image of an aspirational, fun, no consequences lifestyle that average people could never afford, but are happy to gawp at. Hence the long-running success of their reality show.

> Meanwhile I don't see people saying all they expect young adults to get out of Bill Gates' success is you should drop out of school...

I've seen my fair share of bad IG "motivation" and "hustle" posts that push this exact message, although they use Zuck as the dropout in question. This will become more common as college costs keep rising while post-graduation incomes remain stagnant. Lifetime earnings compared to people with HS only are of course better but when you see a sticker price of $60k on 1 year of college, lifetime earnings differential isn't what you'll be thinking about.
You are clearly highly emotional about this issue. I'm going to step out now.
It's not confirmed that's actually why agadmator's channel was removed. That was just a theory
They brought zip ties with them, presumably to hold lawmakers hostage. Their stated purpose was to keep Donald Trump in office. That would be a coup. It may not have been the brightest plan though, I’ll grant you that.
> Clearly the way forward is to entrust silicon valley to regulate speech. Thanks for your insight.

That's an unhelpful strawman, but I'm sorry if the tone of my response to you was not constructive and disincentivized you engaging with it more seriously.

For what it's worth, I would prefer if silicon valley companies relied on the court system to decide what content to censor (or rather, kept up any content they thought was legal until required not to by a court order). Of course, spam and data which exploits software vulnerabilities should be filtered without a court order, on the basis that no reasonable person wants to receive that.

My actual intended point was quite narrow, namely that it would be practically impossible, specifically in the case of Trump's tweets, for an aggrieved party to challenge his tweets in court. However, I suppose it may be possible to bring the case against Twitter itself, and have the DOJ fight on Trump's behalf.

> Two out of three Democrats also claim Russia tampered with vote tallies ... are you interested in holding anybody to account for that?

Do you mean holding Russians to account for tampering, or holding Democrats to account for believing a narrative, or unspecified other actors for "tricking" Democrats into believing this narrative (which we'll say, for the sake of argument, is a false narrative)?

I assume you mean the latter of those three interpretations, but I can't imagine who you would want to hold accountable, or by whom, or what the process or punishment should be. Surely we agree that neither social media companies nor the government should be punishing people for spreading "false" narratives (at least if those narratives don't come with implicit encouragement to commit crimes)?
Things like paying for a non-public health scan are indeed facing legal crackdowns, though:

So someone in this position now would have fewer options besides waiting their turn in the queue.
As you can see from replies, people do not agree on the meaning of "fact". To be fair this is because the word is used to mean different things, not just objective truths, even in formal contexts.

Unfortunately because people don't hold the same idea about what the word "fact" means, and some don't believe in the concept of objective reality at all, one person can talk of "fact-checking website" and be thinking of only objective facts, while another person hears that as "prevailing-opinion-promoting website" to be used for non-objective facts.

"Objective truth checking website" would be better. The intent is unambiguous at least. 1+1=2, pi is definitely irrational, and the Earth is not flat.

Unfortunately when it comes to things like "evidence of widespread electoral fraud sufficient to overturn the result", that doesn't apply perfectly. That type of fact cannot be known absolutely; there's always that bit of wiggle room of possibility which feeds conspiracy theories, especially in a population distressed about many issues and distrustful of institutions and each other.

Such things can however be known beyond reasonable doubt to the man on the Clapham omnibus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_on_the_Clapham_omnibus).
They didn’t want to seize power. They wanted to prevent the peaceful transition of power.

Thanks. Knowing that, I'll probably go out of my way to whitelist 'piwik.js', etc. I'd be willing to trade some personal information to any host wanting to use a self-hosted Piwik instance over a big analytics platform.
This system could always fall back to the more general populace review if there isn't enough data from your friends/acquaintances.

I agree a 5-star rating system tells you little. But it's at least some signal and combine that with also displaying how many people have contributed ratings (which would be trivial in these mockup examples) and you now have a pretty strong signal as to the quality of the place without ever touching the content of the reviews. This is a sample of one of course, but of the probably hundreds of restaurants I've been to with 4-star Yelp ratings that have over 20 reviews, I don't think I've been to even one where I wouldn't agree that yes - this deserves at least a 4-star rating.
This is significantly overhyped. Terrorists can already do huge amounts of data anonymously. E.g. putting bombs in the mail, dumping poison in the water supply, etc. And the vast majority of bank robbers are not that well planned or organized.

Plus you can just turn on a cellphone jammer and protect the entire area from robots.
> It's called XML with XSLT.

But that can only generate XML/XHTML, right?

Also, fast compared to what? Many options are fast if all you do is replacing some values. Static pages can just be written out from memory or disk, a whole nother level of fast :)
Ah sorry about that! Is that on an iPhone or iPad?

Edit: should be fixed now.
Articles like this are what we should find on Digg. I don't want to be that snooty bastard, even though I am.... I'm not sure how this is relevant to Hacker News? However, I'm impressed by the mature comments. Can we not turn into Digg?
First step you already made - you ask these questions, and you question yourself if you do well.

You're way ahead of some other people (see my other comment in this thread about estranged parents). The fact that you try to understand, that you're able to conceive that you might do something wrong, even if not on purpose, puts you miles ahead in being a good parent. Just try to be aware of your emotions, how you talk with your children, and that you're able to understand what they're trying to tell you (this is the most important IMO). Do that, and everything else will work out.

Good point, but it's probably the most accessible test device for high levels of RF flux. But based on quick wikipedia tour, just testing on the ~2.4ghz band of microwave oven would probably not be enough to verify the shielding.

The post is quite ironically talking about freedom, yet the author sticks with Amazon Kindle (DRM and big brother).

I don't have the problem of 32 bit software on Catalina. Kobo software runs on it. Calibre works on it.

If authors don't publish in an open format, I just grab the ePub from Usenet or BitTorrent.
I trust that the hospital complies with medical regulations and standards and that the manufacturers do as well, with the appropriate inspections by a relatively disinterested regulator.

Similar for the car manufacture, plus there are negligence laws in place if either the hospital suppliers or car manufacturers fail.
I would be curious to hear what your startup does exactly.
> How, exactly, do you expect the government to tally the amount of wealth to be taxed for each person in the country?

Ask and audit, the same way it does income. Of course, it's harder to get filed confirmation data for wealth and even easier to have an alternative valuation for wealth held in non-cash assets than for realized income, so it will be much easier to evade, but that's probably part of why it (which complicates our overall system of taxation) rather than taxing the currently tax-favored income of the rich, primarily capital gains, at the same rate as other income (which would simplify the tax system) is favored by people whose concern is to be seen as doing something about tax fairness.

This is not an uncommon technique to deal with repetitive code snippets.

Another example of it, off the top of my head, is sometimes the implementation of FFT butterflies.
Thank you, this will blow my mind. I will take this path. Real time systems is the field which is where I want to be.
>The rise of a new generation of low-level programming languages like Rust, Go and Zig has caused C and its primitive type system to fall into some disrepute.

One of these things is not like the others. I never understood why Go, being a garbage collected language, is grouped with systems programming languages like C or Rust. If anything its direct competitors performance/productivity-wise are probably C# or Java.

To be fair, customizability and freedom aren't Apple's selling points.
I think real time language translation and speech to text could be a killer app for smart glasses and I’d love to have one when visiting a foreign country.
Also, for people with hearing impairment, I think speech-to-text and maybe even sign-to-speak using the glass would be very helpful for interactions with people who don’t know sign language.(I’m not hearing impaired, so maybe I’m mistaken about this.)
if I'm searching I'm... searching: like using grep with some keywords.

Peaked in 2009, now down to a third of that popularity. Other measurements might give you different numbers, but the same trend. As I said, I have nothing against Ruby, but it just doesn't seem to be holding its position.
Thanks, good to know. I should clarify that I was genuinely asking a question and not making a statement.
PHBs need to assert their control. If you are not there then they feel somewhat lost. Believe it or not, their bragging amongst other managers is firstly about how many direct reports they have.

If you get a bunch extroverts onto a team, they want to have meetings, pizza lunches, etc. All that activity makes them feel productive.

On the other hand, if you have introverts working remotely they can get on with the task at hand. Bring them together once a month for a day and it will form the social bonds that work well when they're back to interacting over the internet - the exact tools is a question of preferences.

I'm pretty sure that Hitler and the Black Plague are higher on the lists of "terrible events" than anything Facebook has ever done or has interest in doing.

I mean, really? There are people dying all over the world from civil war and hunger as we speak, and yet the fact that you can't take back Facebook messages pains everyone greatly that nothing can top it? We live in a giant echo chamber. Some perspective, please.
I think Microsoft gets less credit than Google for acquisitions because they're actually better (note: I didn't say good) at rolling acquisitions into the company and moving forward with a product. Most people don't think of successful Microsoft products like SQL Server 7+, Kinect, Foxpro, Visio, and Dynamics as acquisitions. Sure, there are notable failures like Danger/Kin, but there are a lot of successes.

Meanwhile, it breaks my heart every time one of my favorite services is acquired by Google. FeedBurner, GrandCentral, and Etherpad are all services that I'd have much rather paid to use on their previous innovation trajectory, rather than watch them stagnate while rewriting for Google's infrastructure (or killed, in Etherpad's case) and be saddled with the clunky GWT interface.
What do you mean? Who is to stop Facebook from deciding what messages you can and can't send on their system?
My first thought was "WOW, they pitch scam sites like that on TV?". Then I visited your site, and noticed three things.

1) It's obviously not a scam.

2) I'm actually familiar with your name and have even used PBwiki.

3) I own a copy of your book, and it's in my reading queue.

Obviously a domain name can give the wrong impression. ;-)
While "labor force participation less youth less elderly" us a more useful number for this purpose, it's also usually a number that's hard to dig up.

I find laziness a very plausible explanation for going with the less useful numbers.
I actually care less when things are made dramatic. When WL was a repository of truth, I supported it. As its mission changes to become an agent for change, I support it less.
Why stop at public transportation? They should just start building and maintaining roads. More people use those anyway.
This is the same Mexico where teachers don't just have a title to their jobs, they can sell that title to someone else for cash money. And if they're not happy with education reforms, they'll just teach kids leftist chants all day instead of reading or arithmetic... to say nothing of the arson, or the mobs armed with baseball bats.

$ cat Makefile
test:

If you want to act like a sub-make, then parse MAKEFLAGS from your environment, and if you see -j and --jobserver-fds=R,W , then parse R and W as file descriptor numbers, block waiting for a byte from R before starting an additional parallel job, and write a byte to W when done with a parallel job.
It's interesting that
"attention [span|problem]" shows up 3 times

in this article. People seem to blame doctors for "over" prescribing ADHD medication, but perhaps its recent toxins.

It's also sad that many of the murders and rapes of the 70s, 80s, and 90s might be attributed to leaded gasoline.
A lot of large projects* I use were formally autotools, and now use CMake. CMake is by far easier to maintain and allows easier integration this code in other projects with dependencies. I will agree that the documentation isn't great, the only way I was able to use it meaningfully by understanding how larger established projects utilize it.

Just to clarify on the ban.

The ban is on the sale and import of chewing gum, not on the consumption of chewing gum itself. The maximum penalty is a jail term, not a death penalty nor caning.

Though the link below doesn't mention about the sale, I do remember that the sale itself is prohibited.

Even for those who know the subject matter, building these VMs as demonstration is a long and difficult process - this is awesome not least because it's a huge amount of work by someone. :)

Having seen this I'm tempted to go build Vagrant boxes for these, so they can be updated and forked more easily.

Unfortunately these don't appear to be licensed, so unless they're declared open by the author, it'll require starting from scratch.

Expensive and not at all startup friendly. Most startups are doing containers or serverless and Azure makes you pay for straying away from their PaaS business model.

Not to mention the way Azure handles networking and security is atrocious, bolted on to Active Directory.

I don't know GCP at all, but I do know that AWS Serverless is brain-dead simple to implement and very low-cost even when you begin to scale.
> That seems like all the more reason to invest more in our cyber-warfare/security capabilities instead of dumping the money in machines designed to carry meat-bags.

We're talking about nation-state on nation-state hacking here. The kind of investment you're talking about would have to be absolutely massive, and even then it still might not do the job.

And even if that kind of investment in cyber-warfare/security capabilities is undertaken, the military isn't going to stop "dumping the money in machines designed to carry meat-bags" until after it's very clear the investment was successful. It's not realistic for a first rate to take the kind of risk you're talking about if it wants to remain first rate.

Oh for goodness sake. This isn't a medical trial of a new anti-MRSA drug. This is an interesting piece of living history research into Anglo-Saxon medical practices.

Bald's Leechbook is fascinating for many reasons. One in particular they refer to in the article - the local Anglo-Saxon remedies are in general lacking in theory and so more or less evidence based. Later medieval medicine was possibly in many ways worse - Roman and Greek ideas of the four humours were imported and applied as received truth. Later medicine was much more likely to take the approach of "Who are ya going to believe? Aristotle or your lyin' eyes?"

Anglo-Saxon medicine had no overarching theory to apply. So their salves and potions and magic incantations tended to be adhoc, complicated, and, occasionally, actually worked.
Ah, yes, didn't consider that. But what about 'this'?; for what reason could the JVM choose to GC an object that the calling thread is currently running in? The example method exists in an instance of 'this' and isn't static.
Astronomical library fines, really? I never heard of library fines that were more than a few dozen of euros for student. Well I guess that is yet another advantage of being in France that I didn't even knew I had :-).

But no I did meant student status, which means most museums are free for instance, and discounts for many things such as public transportations, movie theaters, etc.
I agree. Publishing overall is substantially easier.

Publishing without going through the publishing monopoly is substantially harder though.
You could have told him instead of being a jerk - I know from experience that this doesn't work, say in the work place, where proving your point like this is vital if you want to be heard - but for regular people this is basically an attack. Worst of all you told everyone else how to do it...
