I don't know that that would be losing protections, merely having nothing that qualifies for protection.

If there were some content on that site which was 3rd-party generated, say comments, they would presumably remain protected.
The suggestion is not an analogue computer at all. Did you read the article? But a digital computer produced from a different medium. Microfluidics is already being used in a really serious way in engineering automation of most biomolecular tech. Especially the latest generations of DNA sequencing machines. There the advantage of fluidics is you can mix and match the macroscopic logic domain with biomolecular function in a liquid phase.
>When the root causes are massive delusion, indulging in ridiculous conspiracy theories, general resentment that other people want to be treated fairly, cult-of-personality-like worship of a dictator, etc. Then unfortunately the root-cause is ignorance and the problem is unfixable.

And how do you know all this? You're pretty quick at finding root causes.

Yes, corporations can and should be criticized for legal actions that are within their right (and oftentimes should stay within their right). Whether that is pollution, poor employment practices, or applying censorship unevenly.
Yes, I believe that's why it was introduced in the first place because that used to be a problem. The EFF has a summary of its history [1] and the case was [2].

I found OpenVDB to be quite a good library for isosurface extraction. It has a very efficient, parallelized implementation.

As I said, my contacts in the medical field have the same opinion as the article. It's "unknown" officially, but apparently people on HN don't know anyone in the field who is literally on the front lines researching this. The overwhelming opinion (articles aren't being written yet, expect some in a few weeks) is that the Pfizer vaccine does not actually prevent spread of the virus, only symptoms which decreases the probability of spread, but does not completely prevent spread.
>don’t use this feature if you’d don’t like it?

How do I prove that I didn't use it? And why on earth would I want a messaging app to put a target like that on my back if I'm not even using the feature? With this feature, the likelihood of someone demanding access to the app grows from almost zero to pretty significant.
I don’t see grounds for optimism. People believed in a bright future that would come when the generation of May '68 got more involved in voting, and were able for stand for election themselves. Yet what happened was those idealistic young people became less radical in the interim, and many signed up to a vogue of mercenary privatization and bourgeois urban development that was virtually the opposite of their earlier views.
Just don't enable any filter lists. A while back you had to add them manually; now I think it's a matter of unchecking them in the first-run dialog.

ABP also makes it easy to create very specific rules: only block a particular resource when accessed from the current domain.
Agreed. You also need real work experience in fixing your own (and other peoples') broken software and in supporting customers through the entire software lifecycle. It's like reading about firefighters versus actually putting out flames.
Can you build stuff?
The most infuriating response to this is “the programs are doing so much these days!” Well, yes, a chat app might do emoji and stuff now. But it’s certainly not doing 1000x the number of things…
tl;dr

* There’s a single thread CPU bottleneck while starting up GTA Online

* It turns out GTA struggles to parse a 10MB JSON file

* The JSON parser itself is poorly built / naive and

* After parsing there’s a slow item de-duplication routine

(Copied from the END of the article)
This is certainly one of the earlier motivations on why you should make procedures "first-class" in the language. And, indeed, it should be equally impressive in any language that supports things as a first class member.

I have come to feel that "first class" will eventually be expanded to "can operate against definitions as easily as with them." (That is, can your language let you modify code with the same style code that can be used to execute it?)
Anybody using MB to choose how and whether to prescribe controlled substances is engaging in malpractice and should have their license revoked, post-haste, and probably should be incarcerated besides.

Wrong title, paywall.
True... though this is one of the first "Content producers" to show how a microtransaction can allow the average user to skip ads (which are pretty much the only option today).
And when a popular application get written, it will become the next walled garden.

whatsapp uses xmpp. whatsapp became a closed system.

PerfectClientXInTheFuture uses matrix. PerfectClientXInTheFuture becomes a closed system.

Why? Because that way they can make more money.

It's sad, but true.
Did you ever use Firefox 1.0? It supported tabs.
> There are like 8 macros...

I should have used quote / unquote instead of the word macro.

When I looked into the code I started with the engine and renderer. Between both modules they had dozens of quote / unquote usages which to me was hard to follow. Not because it's written poorly or anything like that, but it's not exactly easy to trace that code to learn how something works in more detail.

> I mentioned a solution after the issue was closed - and not before as you describe.

Yes, after it's been closed. But look at it from what end users of your library see from that chain of events:

1. User asks question on forums and presents a case where something very bad happens (2x network round trips)

2. User posts issue on GitHub

3. Creator of LV says it's a known trade off and quickly closes the issue

4. You and the creator of LV talk offline and figure out a potential work around

Re-opening the issue after #4 would have done a lot of good because it shows at a glance that it's a current issue, it's being addressed and open for discussion.

With the issue being and staying closed this gives off a message that you're not actively working on fixing the bug and aren't open to any form of discussion or assistance around fixing it. Maybe that wasn't your intention but that's the message you're sending to some people.

> Seriously?

That's the answer I've always received in the past when asking questions about the state of the docs on Slack and IRC over the years. The current docs usually give you a partial understanding of how something works. It's usually enough to get a basic idea of how something might work but not enough to get the ball rolling to implement a solution in your own application. I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way either because I've seen a lot of repeated questions on IRC and the forums, especially around LV components.
You mean CP\M? :-)
I work on a 3-person DevOps team that just finished migrating ~20 services from GCE vms running docker-compose to GKE.

It's taken us a little over a year. Partly because K8s has a steep learning curve, but also because safely transitioning services without disrupting product teams adds a lot of overhead.

The investment is already yielding great returns. Developers are happy. Actual quote: "Kubernetes is the biggest quality-of-life improvement I've experienced in my career."

The same is true for me as a DevOps engineer. I never have to write a script to orchestrate a rolling deployment ever again. I'll never have to touch Puppet or wrangle OS upgrades. I no longer need to use Terraform to scale out a service.

Now that we've completed this transition, one of my goals for the next year is to get the team to a place where we spend 75% of our time on higher-level projects -- working on developer tools and Kubernetes extensions and setting site reliability standards, instead of the firefighting and operational work that has traditionally taken up so much of our time. Couldn't be happier about this change.

... That is until management decides we're overhead and fires us to free up budget for feature developers. ;)
I am heavily against switching from WhatsApp to Signal, but you have very good points, and I think Matrix should take note of these points. Technically Matrix can yield a very similar user experience to Signal, but there has to be more focus on actually doing it if it wants to be considered as a serious player in the same space as WhatsApp and Signal.
All of these discussions always devolve to “to the moon”. That’s not exactly a compelling response to technical concerns.
This isn't nitpicking at all, it's an important distinction!

Docker is not virtualization, it's just an abstraction that makes some Linux process isolation features easier to manage.

It also allows you to bundle whatever dependencies you have in the same bundle, but that is not the same as having a VM.
Care to post the link of the video you're talking about?
>When I was in college I used to write papers for my friends. It was quite interesting to write a paper for a class I wasn't taking.

Sorry, did Paul just say that he helped people cheat in their college classes? Or did the professors know he was writing others' papers?
Pictures don't lack demographic targeting. You can make a lot of demographic assumptions from the content inside of a picture.

Example: facial recognition says that this blob with eyes in the photo is a child. Flag may have signed up Babies R Us as an advertiser. Based on the notion that it's a baby on the front of the photo the back as should be for formula, college funds, or diapers.

The tricky part is building up the tooling to automate that process. But hey, most of that exists in the wild already.
I think you've misunderstood :)

The article says that current research focuses on achieving intelligence by means of induction alone, but induction cannot explain all of intelligence, because we reason in ways that contradict induction (although maybe they're a result of higher-order induction).
Great, another framework mixing concerns and doing custom HTML.

Options include simulated straight-6, American V-8, and V-12 engines, plus some turbine-like sounds.

This is like changing ringtones on your phone. Can I download a twin turbo?
Define "everything". User-land programs? Not root. Graphics stack? Not root or kernel-space. A quick look at task manager reveals that over 50% of what is running on my computer isn't running as System (root).

I agree with 'nothing just happens', but Twitter, right now, doesn't look like a weekend project. Maybe Twttr did when it first started though.
There was also 2 official 16-month calendars that were released. I believe for 1988-1989 and for 1989-1990. Each month contains a Calvin and Hobbes strip.
This is truly altruistic for the public benefit, in a way that's hard to find these days.

I'm sure you can sell the domain to GitHub for a pretty penny. Surely, after being on the front page of HN with the hundreds of clicks that will bring....

Which makes me think... Truly altruistic or smart business move?

Either way thanks and good luck!

Oh, I'm not arguing for restricting any/either of those. Merely pointing out that the common argument against doing so doesn't hold water in the real world that we live in.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that criminalization tends to only stop law-abiding citizens, have second-order effects that discriminate against those whose needs were not considered by the policy makers at the time, create a hole that's usually filled by another issue/crime, and tend to be far less effective than they were made out to be. Just so my position is clear :)

Found a bug.

1. Turn on Default Cookie notice

2. Visit another site - say google.com typing the url in address bar

3. Hit back button from google to this site

4. Default cookie notice is enabled, but boiler plate code is removed

5. Now Default cookie notice option is kinda reversed. (on - removes boilerplate & off adds boilerplate)
Right, except a IDF medic in reserve may not work in healthcare day-to-day. Similar to combat soldiers, intelligence officers and listeners -- all working a different job since they finished military service.
What sort of architecture are you envisioning where you'd need HTTP3 and Rust can't build for it?

Once you get a microcontroller fast enough to handle Http3, you are talking about well known platforms (such as ARM, MIPS, x86). All of which are supported by Rust and LLVM.

> If numbers cannot have infinite strings of digits, then the future can never be perfectly preordained.

Why? A simple cellular automaton like Rule 30 doesn't use any infinite data but it's future is perfectly preordained.

But being preordained doesn't mean that there can't be free will. Because having the initial state, and being able to predict later state are very different. Even simplest cellular automata are computationally irreducible, meaning that there is no shortcut, and the only way to find out their future states is to run the full computation.

So if physics can be described by finite computation, and all the future states can be obtained from initial state, the only way to obtain them would be running the whole simulation, which would be equivalent to people in that simulation living and making their choices themselves.

You believe something that doesn't have a way to prove it? Were you banned personally? Or are just believing anecdotes from people with an agenda?

What makes you believe it then? Anyway, that sub bans people only for violent threats and such, but opposing viewpoints are downvoted a lot. They even have some pro-Trump mods on their team who can see and reverse mod actions including bans.

Anyway you can try an experiment if you care, post on there (with a new account if needed) very partisan stuff, but don't advocate for violence, and you'll find yourself not banned.

A similar thing happened to me as a seller. I saw that one of my old textbooks was selling for a nice price, so I listed it along with two other used copies. I priced it $1 cheaper than the lowest price offered, but within an hour both sellers had changed their prices to $.01 and $.02 cheaper than mine. I reduced it two times more by $1, and each time they beat my price by a cent or two. So what I did was reduce my price by a few dollars every hour for one day until everybody was priced under $5. Then I bought their books and changed my price back.
weird, it crashed the nvidia driver on my win 7 machine
Indeed. But part of making an investment is knowing what's possible to change. People who invested in Microsoft in the days of DOS knew that there was more ahead for the company. Same goes for people who invested in Amazon when they only sold books. That applies here as well. Investing in a company merely so you can rake off the cream that's already flowing is for businesses that are old and have plateaued.

My point about Valve and Steam is that there is a lot of potential in that market segment, and certainly Valve hasn't exhausted all of it. Indeed, one could imagine the Humble Bundle working with Valve to get included in Steam sales.

Humble Bundle has a brand people recognize, like, and trust. A hell of a lot of industry connections. And an established track record. I don't know the depth of the gaming industry well enough to know exactly how wise this investment move is, but it seems like it could be fairly reasonable to me.

Interesting. I'm not sure about the best approach to the 'medical' marijuana side when there is no actual prescribing guidelines that I can see. How can you crack down on it when there are no real rules?

I'm surprised that black market dealers still exist. Surely, medical marijuana is so easy to get that if you care about the price you get a card and go there? If not, go to one of the legal stores.

Why are the black market guys still in business? You very rarely see black market alcohol, for example.

I only recently learned AngularJS and this is my first attempt to use it with Rails. Feedback is welcomed!
For once someone actually makes a decent point about the contradictory class interests of renters!
* What kind of tests are these "behavior test"?

* Is that a list of compilation targets?

* If not all behavior tests pass, does that not mean that the compiler fails to compile programs correctly?

Just finished writing a Gopherjs binding for the chrome API so you can now write chrome extensions and Chrome apps in Go: https://github.com/fabioberger/chrome
Leak is the wrong term, and it’s doubtfully a deliberate marketing move either. More like, “suddenly being noticed because a bunch of GitHubbers followed the @AtomEditor account on Twitter”.

Also, despite the plethora of repositories, the actual editor is not available. It could be many of the public repos are public so they can be installed using their Atom Package Manager, which would likely have to jump through hoops if they were private.
Before you say more, check euclidanalytics.com. The creator of Google Analytics has been working on this, with funding, for a number of years already.

I had seen news about this recently and am surprised that more people didn't notice how it is essentially the same, without funding, and less developed.
I've actually seen a crude version of something like this on a trip to Taiwan a couple of years ago. I was at a mall and I noticed a wifi network called "People Counter." I wasn't entirely sure what they were doing with it, but I assumed it was counting MAC addresses.

I can completely understand what you are feeling since I'm completely aware of the situation. Luckily I was doing quite well myself while I graduated (last year) and didn't need to work for any such company.

I'm working in a startup now where our major focus is on doing quality work using modern tech. We deal with clients directly and not through websites like oDesk.
Great to see that you have worked with backbone etc.
Would you like to catchup some time for tech discussion? I have few friends who do that regurlay at weekends. Mail me at gkcgautam@gmail.com :)
Now why did I know that Ted Kaptchuk[1] would be the quoted "expert" (he is not a medical doctor) in this 23 December 2010 story even before I read it? Because he is always the guy pushing this line[2] in press releases[3] that get picked up by the popular media.

Meanwhile, the medical researchers who look at the issue with proper study designs and statistical controls know that placebos are essentially useless, as they at most have influence just on self-reported subjective symptoms, not on any sign that affects the progression of a disease or maintenance of good health.[4] Ladies and gentlemen, you know you aren't going to seek "placebo medicine" if you have cancer or congestive heart failure, and you know that no compassionate parent would seek "placebo medicine" for minor children who have a childhood disease. So why does this topic keep coming up over and over and over here on Hacker News, now most recently from a brand-new participant here? Take the time and effort to learn a bit more about the actual research base before assuming that this story is anything other than the outcome of carefully crafted press release.

Findings on placebo effects by researchers who have considered the issue carefully include

"Despite the spin of the authors – these results put placebo medicine into crystal clear perspective, and I think they are generalizable and consistent with other placebo studies. For objective physiological outcomes, there is no significant placebo effect. Placebos are no better than no treatment at all."[5]

"We did not find that placebo interventions have important clinical effects in general. However, in certain settings placebo interventions can influence patient-reported outcomes, especially pain and nausea, though it is difficult to distinguish patient-reported effects of placebo from biased reporting. The effect on pain varied, even among trials with low risk of bias, from negligible to clinically important. Variations in the effect of placebo were partly explained by variations in how trials were conducted and how patients were informed."[6]
