After seeing what Theil did it made me look at the world slightly differently in a more open way that money and those with a lot of it could be behind so many things in our society from politics to whatever. Everything can be bought/manipulated/etc based on the desires of the richest people whether they are open about it or not. Thus, I don't believe much of what I see and read especially in politics.
The Salt Lake Tribune was turned into a 501(c)(3) non-profit a couple of years ago. Obviously the Salt Lake market will be ignored by people such as the author of this article; it would be super interesting if a major market media company went this route.
1. Create minimal JVM and runtime with GUI primitives and compile it into .EXE

2. Create packager that concats class files (in JAR) of your application with that EXE.

3. Sign the exe. That's your monolithic application without external dependencies.

Done. You can distribute your Java applications without any need for JRE, WebStart or anything like that.

Did that once as J-SMILE (https://terrainformatica.com/org/j-smile/) project.

That minimal JVM was of size 300 kb so nothing if to compare with the rest of .class files of your app. So Java executables can be in principle smaller than comparable Go's executables.
> Even if you are writing in assembly, you are still relying on a compiler to turn your written words into machine code.

To nitpick, an assembler.
It's sort of a spectrum yes... (or, really, there are infinite spectrums like the one you are imagining,) But there are also discontinuities on all of those spectrums.

The ergonomics of a declarative API are not continuous with the ergonomics of a procedural one. There's just a gap there which, when you cross it, you lose a bunch of things, and get a bunch of other things for free.

There'a also a huge discontinuity when moving from code to point-n-click, which is what the article is about. Many of the affordances of code cannot be replicated in a GUI, with ANY amount of effort. And vice versa.
It's not that they march into the news room and tell everyone what to write.

That's not how power works. The point is that people will write in a particular way if they believe it 's what the owner wants.
A few years back when I was not so good at being a leveraged employee delivering value, I remember doing ~30 interviews in a single week because I needed to talk to that many people to find a job in a timely manner.
Every case prosecuted by the FBI ever since parallel construction started is fruit of the poison tree.
your comment makes it sound like it was a high proportion of companies when it was really just some high profile names in a few industries
As well as employing Simon Peyton Jones.

Jane Street and OCaml would be another good example of deep corporate involvement in an ML family language.
Reminds me of cdecl vs stdcall with the argument ordering. Really interesting low level details here for sure.
>1) about the phone not shipping with malware

Given the number of people who have no issues installing Zoom or TikTok, I'm not sure I buy that.

>2) about the phone not working after 2 years

The average consumer has to have the latest and greatest every 2 years whether the old phone still works or not.

>3) apps no longer working because the only OS vendor for your phone disagrees about something with the developer

The number of parler users willing to give up their iPhone for parler isn't even a blip on the radar. They won't even switch to android for it, why do you think they'd switch to Pine?
With the move to much more remote work this will be a problem for people like this.

As of Monday afternoon in Texas, it's getting worse, not better. The "rotating outages" have become longer. "Unfortunately, if you are a customer who is currently experiencing an outage, you should be prepared to be without power for at least the rest of the day."[1] Galveston is 95% dark.

The State of Maryland has blocked 23andme from providing services here. See http://www.genealogyreviewsonline.com/genealogy_reviews_onli...

I'm curious whether folks who have used this service found it valuable? This customer didn't seem to think so; she compared it to a horoscope reading: http://subtlenuances.wordpress.com/2010/08/08/getting-person...

Their involvement with the pirate bay were well known, and I suspect known by their respective employers. They are also rather well-known within the Swedish Pirate movement.

I suspect the people who won't hire them after the verdict wouldn't have hired them even before it since their involvement with the pirate bay was no secret.

The pirate movement in Sweden is one of the most vocal movements about civil rights and against host of laws that are considered to be in dispute with civil rights, so for this movement they're more or less martyrs rather than just some nerds who built a tracker and a trademark.

Recent laws (mass-surveillance, corporations being given more investigative rights than the police, etc) and events in Sweden have in a way bridged current civil rights and rule-of-law issues with the pirate movement.

It'll be interesting to see wheter this connection remains now that Sweden has a new liberal party which tackle many of the same issues the pirate party does, or wheter they'll become more separated with time.

[Edit: Rephrased section into 'considered to be in dispute with civil rights']

Last time I check physical space was a limited resource.
I'm copying and expanding on an answer I posted on Quora, the question being, "How do you teach a non-designer to effectively critique a design?"

When working with an "amateur" client who doesn't understand much about design, it's helpful to prepare a design brief before beginning any work. This is a written description of the goals of the project. When you meet with the client initially, they will probably have a lot of vague or even contradictory ideas. It's your job to sort through the ideas and write up a design brief. Show it to the client, and either get them to sign off, or revise as needed.

Going forward, when reviewing comps, try to steer the conversation back to the goals you set in the brief, and discuss how well the comps are meeting the goals (or not).

Try to avoid letting them offer solutions like "make this font bigger" or "make it blue." This transforms you from a designer into a computer monkey. Clients who treat you this way are disrespectful at best, and are best avoided entirely.

To append to that answer, your insight about "only YOU really know your application" is analagous to the concept of the "design brief." Design is not only how it looks, but how it works. The brief should explain this, so that when working with a designer who is focused on the visual, you can always bring them back to the brief, and ask how their visual changes support the brief.
Shouldn't:

def fib(n):

if n < 2: return 1

else : return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)

Be:
...

if n < 2: return n

...

?

Or am I being stupid?

EDIT: changed x to n.
We should have gone with the turkey like Ben Franklin wanted to.
I watched the whole video. Interesting material and I have played with Sproutcore a few times in the last couple of months.

My problem with Sproutcore is that I am a casual Javascript programmer and I find something like Dojo easier for me to use. This might change when more developer usability work gets done on Sproutcore. (Spent time this morning hacking with Clojure + Javascript + Dojo, BTW.)
I take 4,000 UI of Vitamin D each day in gelcap form (Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so much better absorbed that way than with dry tablets -- this information is based on blood tests that the cardiologist at the Heart Scan Blog did http://heartscanblog.blogspot.com/ ). Living in Canada and working inside most of the day, that seems to be a minimum for me. I could probably up the dose to 6,000 UI this winter...

Here's the kind I get: http://www.vitaminlife.com/product-exec/PNAME/Vitamin_D_2000...

I also take 3 grams of omega 3 (adding up to 1800 mg of EPA/DHA), 500 mg of Vitamin C, and a multivitamin.
Will water distillation work to remove contaminants and impurities?
You're aware that the vast majority of amateur porn is some person sending some other person nudes, right? You're effectively arguing for everyone should have to provide ID with every "u up??". Let's not make the insane over-enforcing of nudes worse.
Interesting. Thanks for the reply. Just saw it now. I get it.
John Oliver just did an episode dedicated to the national debt, it was a pretty interesting watch as a layperson.
I'm not typically the bleeding heart type, but this to me overshadowed everything else in the article. You have to be a monster to do something like that, no matter how awful the company is treating you.
Putting your life in limbo for 5 years is madness. How do you accept such a thing?

Land of the free indeed. SMH.
Mental IDE, that's brilliant!

Something to find the bugs, something to fix them, something to organize your thoughts, a tool for reflection. Oh boy, do I have a lot of ideas around this.

But we have to start with some basic awereness and emotional processing otherwise we'll get stuck in the same old mental loops.
> Yahoo email for example

The only reason I get yahoo email is because there was a vulnerability a few years ago and everyone's account got broken into.
Is anyone else frustrated after trying to load this page on a mobile device?

I zoom in to read the text and when I try to slide the screen over, it interprets that as me wanting to go to the next page.
No, I wanted to read the text on THIS page.
I think the graduate degree helps because it contains many signals, such as 5-7 years of work on a project, an advisor, and papers. That said I'm more than happy to fund smart undergraduates, but it's really hard to see signals that make any one undergraduate stick out from the crowd (doing graduate-level research and publishing papers as an undergraduate is a good signal).
Cool, I like it. One request: Start all stories collapsed. Right now, the Ellen Pao story is at the top, with about two dozen related headlines beneath it - that takes up a lot of screen space (every time I refresh I have to collapse that space).

It would also be good to be able to collapse/expand by clicking on the headline count.

I'm not sure how I feel about the continuous scroll. Often I like that, but here I am unsure, but it may be because of my particular use case: I use LinkVisitor to mark all links as visited, so that next time I know which I've already read or decided to ignore. Having a fixed number of headlines makes it easier for me to recognize that it is time to hit cmd-fn-f2. If others get a lot of value from the continuous scroll, don't worry about it, mine is likely quite the edge case.
I am surprised just about no one on this thread finds his effort to hide his identity online flimsy. If you are a psychiatrist with a popular blog with hot wire topic discussions and cares a lot about patient relationships, shouldn't you be taking a lot more precautions in concealing your identity than just dropping your last name? I mean, come on.
Canada is an extremely low density country. Nine tenths of the population lives within a hundred miles of the US. Most of the rest is Arctic wilderness. A more realistic comparison would be countries such as the United States, Brazil, and the countries of Europe.
How blasé? Which ones specifically are you referring to?

From what I’m aware these journalists typically cover European business news. Who exactly did they want to learn to code?
I'm actually rather glad we don't have to deal with that any more, we've gone almost all metric. One day we'll finally be rid of miles.

However I do suspect it won't be as easy to get rid of pints.
Although it may have been hurtful, I don't think the matchmaking service is in the wrong here.

They did not "turn the client down" (which to me, implies "refused service"). That seems like a very poor headline from The Sun.

The company, which seems to offer an expensive matchmaking service, was essentially saying "buyer beware", along the lines of "we can sell you this service, but you might be better served elsewhere".

Edit: Further to this, I think it prudent to point out the ethics of taking a persons money when knowing you are not likely to provide that person with the service they are looking for.

What is the alternative? Quietly line your pockets with their hard earned money because you don't want to offend that person by being honest about the limitations of your service?
How do you transact in crypto without internet?

Right; ostensibly you could create a language that lets you easily poke holes in any slot of a type, but I'm not sure you necessarily /gain/ a lot in doing so except for confusion. It would take a lot more convolution to specify types and instances for every function application.
London financial industry traders and London voting residents are not related.

Greater London residents voted overall ~60% to Remain, but you'd expect that traders live in the Eastern boroughs, and outside London, in Essex (both up to ~70% Leave).
This bland, incomplete article is a ruse to capture email addresses.

But why would anyone give an email address in order to unlock the missing sections of the article, when those that appear are so bland?

A: Because they don't know much about viral marketing and they want to learn more. They fit the profile this company wants to harvest. Bingo.
When we delete a user on google apps it will offer to transfer drive ownership to another users. We have File Sharing user that will be the new owner of all documents of the deleted user.

For emails you can export data from Google (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3024190?hl=en) but I have no idea how to import.

The author of this article did a follow-up post in which he compared individual players before, during and after playing for the Patriots, and found very suspicious trends. On average the players were only good at fumbles when they were playing for New England. Of course, one can still argue that Belichick's focus on fumbling is only effective during the time that players are employed by New England, but you'd still expect to see SOME carryover to players' later teams if only because of whatever good habits they picked up playing for NE.

>The pay is usually very noncompetitive.

But the benefits are usually top notch (e.g. healthcare). If the position comes with a generous defined-benefits government pension, it can actually end up being more lucrative than working in the private sector.
ELI5 what I just read on that site?
> is to get an IT job in an industry that does not appreciate IT

Yeah that's basically the gist. Needs enough IT for someone to steer it, doesn't need enough such that a complex env that requires an MSP to run things in that direction.
I'm a heap person.

Am I a heapster ?
That says unsigned artists must register with one of those four services. From their web page, the first one listed (https://www.recordunion.com/) is a digital distribution company that charges under $15/year to interface with an online store on the artist's behalf.

If an artist is signed to a label then it's on the label to have a working relationship with the online stores and streaming services.
I've got an early 2011 MBP which has exactly the same issue - I'm on the third logic board (GPU and a chipset both went on separate occasions within 3-year warranty) and second battery (battery wasn't due to heat though, just capacity), I use it heavily for programming (compiling) and rendering, so CPUs are often maxed out.

I try and make sure it's ventilated properly (when I use it on my lap I often hold it in the air when the CPUs are busy and the temp is rising), but I'm not convinced the design is good for cooling in general.
Thousands of years of usage isn't enough of a clinical study?

Very difficult to take a lot of western medicine seriously when a huge amount of the research is funded by organisations with vested interested.
Kenji covered hard boiling eggs with scientific rigor: https://www.seriouseats.com/the-secrets-to-peeling-hard-boil...

We have backyard chickens and hard-boil a lot of eggs. The biggest effect on peel-ability: Start with boiling water, do not start the eggs in cold water.

For years I started with cold water because that's what Alton Brown said to do in Good Eats. And for years the eggs were a pain to peel. When I read Kenji's article, I switched, and immediately eggs became much easier to peel. Night and day.

No other factor comes close in terms of effect. Not age, not backyard vs store bought. Not the breed (at least, not for any of the dozen chicken breeds we have had). Start with boiling water and 9/10 eggs peel nicely, start with cold water and 9/10 eggs peel terribly.
Tengen pirate tetris, sadly, was the good implementation back in the day
How about paying content creators for exclusive content on your platform?

Or just making the Twitter clone and open api and the extension so it's a seamless experience to follow anyone across any of the clones. Users can just scrape their own feeds as needed.

Not enough hand wavy crypto magic in these ideas?
Also I can’t write. I meant “editing”, not “edition”.

If that’s not immediate disqualification for being a Wikipedia writer, what is?
Did the original complaints of those sites disappearing mention the usage of the site: filter?
Most defendant can’t even afford a couple hundreds (thousands?) dollar in term of extra resources (this includes non-monetary aspects like their own time) to defend themselves. So no matter how limited the budget of a department is, the State would still outbudget the defendant by several orders of magnitude, so don’t feel too bad for them.

(I don’t disagree with you, just adding a small point)
They use Rails, right? It's probably a cascade delete but done on the application, Rails makes that very easy.
I was amused by a financial service I use that sent me a mail expressing concern that I wasn't opening their mail (which I had subscribed to).

I was reading them all along. They just didn't know, and assumed I wasn't opening them. I was, but not the tracking pixel.
Any links sent in an email can become unique to the recipient.

Link a link shorter, but the URLs are not short :-)

You can know what link was clicked and who clicked it.

So even if the images are blocked, if you click a link it goes through the link shortener redirection server, and bingo! They know more about you! :-)
Leaving aside the moral question of the death penalty, the use of lethal injection seems insane to me. Why don't they just use nitrogen suffocation?
That would leave the job either half-complete, done by an overworked person, or available only to independently wealthy people.

It's notable that non of your quotes concern SpaceX.

One should definitely be wary of Musks often inflated / over-optimistic claims, but Starship has a good chance of holding true to most of what was promised.
This is very cool, I love the vibrant colours even though it's a dark theme.
The article states plainly:

“What’s Ethereum’s killer app?” we asked ourselves not long ago. Now we know. It’s the world’s best publicly-accessible settlement platform for financial transactions. In a way, that’s exciting. The markets think so too.
Interestingly it does a bunch of things well, fast and takes amazing pictures, goes very high, etc.

But most importantly those are synergistic, they form a coherent whole, we even say one thing, because it does so well at these things simultaneously that we now consider it almost inseparable.
Kraken doesn't have better security.

I don't understand your point. Documents are data, are they not?
I assume you feel the suppression of political opponents is a major issue because it causes a government to become corrupt, abusive, and make bad decisions without the accountability that comes from criticism and competition. I agree.

But Singapore has made good decisions and hasn't been abusive or corrupt. (No government is without sin or without mistakes, so I mean Singapore isn't abusive or corrupt compared to the US and Europe.) Their economy has boomed, their standard of living has risen dramatically in a short period of time. Aren't you curious about how they did it?

Political systems have evolved and improved throughout history and will continue to do so. Western democracy is not the best government that will ever exist on Earth.
Internally there's a "Jeff Dean Facts" page in the spirit of Chuck Norris Jokes. It includes things such as "Once, in early 2002, when the index servers went down, Jeff Dean answered user queries manually for two hours. Evals showed a quality improvement of 5 points."
> Unless your OpenID provider is you... which is not possible with username+password.

Actually, with the username+password I'm always the provider. I can give whatever information I want.

I don't disagree with what you say about website and identity -- but I think OpenID is the wrong solution to the problem. This should be embedded into the browser with strong cryptography between you and the website and no 3rd party should ever need to be involved. If I want to invent a new throw-away identity, it should be a simple click away.

Being secure with a username+password is pretty much as easy or as difficult as using OpenID. If the goal is to secure the computer-inept, requiring them to associate a url with their identity is a failure even before you get through the rest of the process.
This would be insanely more useful if they would just put a few captions in. It's really inspiring to look at, but how do I find out more? Search Google for "the cool molecule in the harvard mitochondria animation that changes the three bump blue thingies into the four bump glowing thingies"??
Well since, in it's modern form, it's a Persian (ie Iranian) invention and was intended as a battle field simulation for training young warriors - I suppose playing it makes you a suspected terrorist.
Well that was disappointing. I guess no one appreciates a good Yes Men prank around here.
No - because the percentages are only for withdrawn papers. The likelihood of publishing fake results should be based on the total number of papers. If the US group had fewer withdrawn papers as a percentage of submitted papers then the 33% of withdrawn papers could amount to a smaller percentage of the total submitted than the Asians' 25%.
Ironically, this is an overloaded usage to the words "Context Free Language." (Whether you intended it or not.)
