To be clear are we to suppose one has a right to say something and then insist others never bring up anything because one has at that point deleted?

Furthermore is strenuous disagreement now toxic and hostile?

Wouldn't it be more trivial to say I do not wish to engage and leave it at that? Ironically calling someone toxic hostile and creepy is... pretty toxic.
It was a one-time payment, not a monthly recurring one.
Replacing the function call with this (and flipping the checks around) will probably improve performance as well.

I'd also be interesting in the performance improvements from replacing those to_lowercase() calls with a lookup from a static lookup array. Something like:

if ( explosion_map[token1] == token2 )

There would need to be duplicates, explosion_map['a'] = 'A' and explosion_map['A'] = 'a'. But that's a small cost to pay for eliminating three function calls and two comparisons. As an added bonus, branch prediction will work really well on this strategy (since the majority of comparisons will have the same result). And doing that is a more of an actual language performance comparison, instead of a the standard library performance comparison this is.
Recipients in the video didn't receive 5,900 every month, just once.
The "Universal" in UBI has a meaning, which intends that everyone is an unconditional recipient, including taxpayers.

Edit:

To add, I'm not sure why we think a real "experiment" wouldn't also include the actual payment into the program. Is there an explanation? All I can see is the intent of the "experiment" is to say, "UBI is good [no matter the cost]." This is unconvincing, to say anything is worth the effort regardless of the cost. But I don't want to set up a strawman. I'm curious if people have a good reason to say why the cost should not be accounted for, or if it somehow is, and I'm just not seeing it.
If the epic, explosive scale of obesity, diabetes and heart disease under the modern government recommended high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet doesn't give you pause, then.... I just don't know what to say.

That's the page, https://ubuntu.com/download/server

You get three options to run Ubuntu server.

The first option is to run Ubuntu server in a VM, and most users will want to run Ubuntu server in a VM. Multipass is a tool that helps you run Ubuntu server in a VM. Multipass is just a front-end for KVM when you use a Linux distribution. If you use Windows, it is a front-end for Hyper-V, etc.

The second option is to perform a manual installation, which means that you get the ISO and do your thing.

Between the two, most people would want to install Ubuntu Server in a VM rather than on baremetal. I think it makes sense to put that first. If a person is a power-user, then can read on and select Option 2.

I see that there is a perceived negativity on anything Ubuntu that if something is different, it is perceived as something bad is happening.
The A1243 has two USB ports.

I'm not disagreeing with you, just pointing out that it doesn't actually matter. Twitter and countless archivers, including news organizations, still have them.
This isn't a problem that can be solved with more data. It's a function of model architecture, and as OpenAI has demonstrated, larger models generally perform better even if normal people can't run them on consumer hardware.

But there is still a lot of room for more clever architectures to get around that limitation. (e.g. Shortformer)
You could run it on top of something like CoreOS, but then you're just swapping Zookeeper for etcd.

>But if Westerners are hyperventilating over Uyghur genocide while thousands of actual Uyghurs living in Xinjiang are making videos laughing at the allegations, don’t you think there’s something wrong with that picture?

This is what I don't get. Such reliance on one off social media examples.

If I found a video that said otherwise ... would that convince you? Why would you think it works the other way?

Such reliance on such heavily anecdotal things (on some social media posts) seems very ... simple / a strange way to choose what to believe or even convince people.
IMHO, if you can't rebuild all of production from scratch, minus the sensitive data, the you don't have a full understanding of your production system, and that's where serious problems begin.
The same answer to, "When is the best time to plant a tree."

Good security practices make for good programs. (See OpenBSD core).
How do you keep the different remotes in sync? Manual pushes?
Who says you have to measure it at all?

A valuation based on immediate financial value turns universities into trade schools (which to be fair, more people need / are really looking for).

And also it would turn universities in to not-very-good trade schools. Why would they train school teachers or social workers when they make so little money?

Metrics change what they observe, unless you are extremely careful, usually for the worse.
So, I'm curious how they convert the body heat to electricity in such a small area.

If it were for something like a Stirling Cycle, you'd need a fairly substantial surface area to disburse the heat difference.
Does that mean we should drop everything coming from US prefixes also because the NSA uses them for man-on-the-side attacks?
1) They used OpenSUSE Build Service for RPMs YES. Why don't they also use the service for DEB?

2) I prefer ncurse to any gui ever. So much fast to use and read.

3) VIM bindings for the most part and the short cuts look very well thought out

4) Marking and copying gives the same feeling as Ranger File Manager which I use all the time and when forced to use Windows it is the first thing I always miss.

Great job and look forward to adding this to my common work flow with my Linux boxes.

Kidding aside, there's just not enough jobs in "not broken" offices for all the workers. I haven't seen an office which isn't broken in some way, even though I haven't seen many. And suggestion of looking for another job is just patronizing. If a person could done it easily, he would have done it long ago.
The least boring standups I've ever had were IT department "ticket roundups" where, once a week, we went through and bitched about the tickets in the IT Jira and what was keeping us from closing them and whatever else was work-related. This was all pre-COVID, so we found a disused conference room in a disused section of the building and made sure the door was closed.
But since the buffer size has to be 40ms then so the minimum latency is 40ms
To be fair, Archegos hedged their beta exposure with short index futures. The implied vol includes both the beta vol and the idiosyncratic vol. A hedged position should be a lot less vol than being naked long.
One thing I'm slightly worried about "machine learning" in compression rather than conventional everything-is-sines mathematical approaches is the possibility of odd nonlinear errors. Remember the photocopier that worked by OCR and would occasionally mis-transcribe numbers?

I don't mind compressing a phoneme to <unintelligible> as much as I would mind it compressing it to a clearly audible different phoneme.
I find that Lyra sounds good at first but it can chop off hard consonants in certain scenarios. It sort of sounds like slightly slurred speech. Anyone else getting that impression from their samples?
Thanks for the pointer to MDN. It's awesome!
The tutorial really drops to the very fundamentals.
'I don't see what's threatening or intimidating about "Have your friend Melanie call me." Seems pretty innocuous to me.'

It doesn't take too many of those 'innocuous' messages for someone to figure out what they are. If your friends suddenly get 15 messages from strangers asking them to have you call, it's pretty clear what it is.

I get calls from debt collectors all the time. The problem is it's not me they are looking for; I just happen to have the same fairly unique name and live in the same city. I know it's not me because it's for a credit card debt from when I was 7. I really don't want my friends all getting messages from strangers asking me to call them. Sure, the example cited in the article was pleasant sounding, but I can guarantee you they will quickly degrade into threatening/harassing messages if Facebook gives debt collectors the signal that it's okay to use their service. I know because I deal with them on the phone all the time yelling, calling me a liar, etc. when I try to explain it isn't me they are looking for.
I'm just glad that Clojure has a good community driven documentation site that's approachable for newcomers. As far Python documentation goes I've never considered it particularly useful.

For me, the best kind of documentation is self-documentation. I love dir and the various forms of introspection at the Python interpreter. However, the Clojure REPL story, being a Lisp, just makes the Python interactive introspection experience look pathetic.

The thing about interactive documentation is that I, at least, find it much more likely that I'll remember it. When I just read something it tends to be forgotten shortly thereafter.
While taking their own words back is stupid, why not open-source the platform? They're selling kinect with positive margin and with open platform they will do even more.
No - I'm just saying that the submission to hackernews shouldn't be called 'Lets code... an MMO', because that makes it sound like its about coding an MMO, when its about coding an Octree.

If I see an article about coding an MMO I expect to read about the complexities of scale and persistence, and supporting a consistent gameworld for a lot of players - these are the main challenges unique to an MMO.
"If quantity of app titles were all that mattered, we’d all be using Windows, not Mac OS X, right?"

Err... Wait, are we all using Mac OS X?
Centralizing on something like HN also lets you make a choice about which community you want to spend time discussing things with. Random commenter on random blog doesn't usually interest me.
"Slippery slope," in a sense, only really applies when the slope is steep enough that its slipperiness matters. In particular, there is an obvious difference between "I've discussed problems like this with someone who knows the material" and "I've studied exactly these questions and their answers for the last week."

In the former case, having discussed the material, one is still required to apply one's knowledge in order to produce correct answers on a test. In the latter, one need only reproduce from memory answers one doesn't (necessarily) understand.

> You are saying that their JRE build is JDK but 4x smaller?

I am saying they're distributing a runtime image and calling it a JRE, even though it isn't (i.e. it isn't centrally managed). Also, the IBM team that builds the Adopt distribution are not involved with OpenJDK and are a bit confused about the project, but, to be fair, even competent vendors, like Azul, provide runtime packages that they've chosen to call (confusingly, IMO), JREs.

> So, you are saying that if someone discovers a security bug in Java/JVM 11.x (assume the latest official version), it is a better practice to update every application on servers instead of just pulling down newer JVM build and let package manager do the magic?

No. First, you could let the package manager do the update either way. An application vendor still has the option of sharing a runtime among apps; the point is that it is up to them. Second, you need to update all of your applications regularly regardless. They have security vulnerabilities, too. Instead of having different update mechanisms for different application components, each application will have one update mechanism of its own choosing.
BTW from memory Delphi was named as such as it was the main route to Oracle which was the most common enterprise database. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphi
From the anecdotes here, it sounds like that's just smart employees or a manager at your store making that decision. It really should be company policy.
I came here to say the same thing. I'd love some fresh effort spent on the protocol.
I guess we still consider Facebook somewhat private.
Yep, that's right. HN doesn't allow me to edit :(
My girlfriend knows someone who worked at an AT&T store, who refused the free phone perk because she didn't want to deal with their service.
I can't tell you how many times I've had to explain this to confused linear algebra students...

Oh, and A minor correction: you mean "zero" instead of "empty".
That's an interesting article, although the level of hype for cloud computing is rather high (and I'm an enormous fan of cloud computing): "When PCs and client/server computing came along, the departmental computing guys (i.e. DEC), considered PCs to be a special case of smart terminals... So the batchguys are dead, the timesharing guys are dead, the departmental computing guys are dead, and the client server guys are dead. Notice a pattern?"

That said, there are already several hybrid memory/disk storage layers that might actually be a better choice than the pure in-memory approach that the author suggests. For example, MongoDB is basically an in-memory document database that's mmapped to a disk file and flushed once per minute. CouchDB, IIRC, is basically an in-memory database backed by an append-only transaction log on disk. These sorts of designs should give you many of the bandwidth advantages of pure memory systems, but still maintain the ability to survive a power outage.
I wonder if there's a way we can retrieve the last text we submitted? This way, we can recover text when editing expires.
The Moderators have the ability to change links in a submission.. So when blogspam like this is posted - it can be changed to the original source. (Get confusing for those of us late to the party though)
Lets take a hypothetical musician who wants to sell/move online.

Who does he turn to for help?

Why does he think that "Real World" mechanisms will survive online?

And so on.

Of course we are interested in the music/media business; we consume it and, for us, consumption of this stuff is not quite a solved problem.
Is that still the case when dividends are taken into account?

If I've held a share since 1999, in place of it I don't just have a share today: I have whatever I've done with the dividend payments that came in the interim.
Do more and more with less and less. In the end do everything by doing nothing. It all starts with going inward and finding your self with meditation. I follow Heartfulness, feel free to explore and do what works best for you.
proofofexistence.com is free to use; that's what i meant.
Why should I care about a Google key-logger with a bundled text editor? Also, if github were a real player, they would do their own user tracking rather than giving Google their data.
I'm not sure what you meant here, considering Scala already does run on the JVM.
It's impacting torrent usage. Likewise after I got netflix, I use usenet much less for movies and tv shows that they have available for instant streaming. Or want to download something much higher quality than what netflix offers currently.
Hmm, you're right, thanks. I am planning to be more active, this is actually why I migrated the blog to new software. I'll wait some more, but it's already been a week or two. It's just odd, it's not just that the pages have dropped a few spots, they're all entirely gone.
How are you different from Vectera.com which does the same thing, but with persistent rooms too?
Initially IG was all hipster photos; remember when the arty filters were their primary USP? I remember using it as a kind of second Facebook, where the people I followed were all FB friends and we only posted photos instead of text posts and status updates.

I don't think it was until 2015 or so that it started getting huge in terms of user base size, and that's when the deluge of low-grade comedy, "IG Models", awful memes, spammers etc. descended upon the site, changing its culture to what we see now.
My point is instead of trying to play whack-a-mole and forcibly herd your customers into an intended path, why not just offer clearly a visible path that provides them with something they care about at a price they are willing to pay.

In my experience, it is not easier to convert somebody on a trial to paying than it is to convert a non-customer to a paying customer, and your value prop (and the customer's understanding of it) is always the single biggest factor. Obviously, this calculus changes if you're going for an eyeballs-matter model.

Admittedly knowing little about the specifics of your situation, I still would feel comfortable saying the engineering/man-hours effort would probably have been best spent refining the portal and giving customers a greater insight in your value prop.

I think it is important to note that after you took the step of filtering out temp mail using customers, you said the conversion rate was unaffected, said with a positive tone. Unless there are significant marginal costs, this can be hardly be called a win.
The funny thing is, this is the first time I remember everyone speculating on if we are in a bubble or not. Once bitten, twice shy I suppose.

But, I also think that although there is a lot of optimism a lot of it rightfully there. Technology has been creating a revolution in communication, media, entertainment and just about every other industry. The internet finally arrived for the masses in the mid-2000's followed by the smart phone revolution followed by tablets and smart devices. There's simply a lot of opportunity out there.

I don't think we are in a bubble so much as in the middle of a rare technological revolution. So many things are happening at once between computer systems becoming so powerful and networks becoming so large and fast, etc. Old industries are dying while new, more profitable companies take over.
That is an argument for why these overages occur. It isn't an argument for why customers should eat that cost rather than Amazon. In fact Amazon is in a much better position than customers to absorb those costs. Sure, they'd have to increase rates slightly to cover it. But it would give customers peace of mind.

And if the costs become exorbitant, Amazon is in a better position to improve their own systems to reduce the amount of overages that people run into in practice.

In theory, Amazon's first leadership principle is Customer Obsession. (See https://www.amazon.jobs/en/principles for the full list.) If they took that seriously, then setting this issue to rest for their customers would be a no-brainer.
You mischaracterize calorie restriction with optimal nutrition by calling it starvation, and you mischaracterize the current research situation.

The evidence for it to extend healthy, mean, and maximum life span in a wide range of species is very extensive: mice, flies, nematodes, etc, etc, etc. The primate evidence for life span extension is mixed at this time, partially because the two decades-long studies were poorly designed in hindsight, and the expectation is that it doesn't extend life greatly in humans. Nonetheless, it has enormously impressive short term health effects in we primates [1]. If calorie restriction was a pill rather than a lifestyle, you'd beat a path to the manufacturer's door, as it has far greater positive effects on health for basically healthy people than any presently available medical technology.

It is true that there is some concern in the research community over the degree to which laboratory mice are not good reflections of what is being studied. This is not unknown, and it is not unacknowledged. A range of rigorous testing programs aim to do something about past less rigorous results - see for example the NIA Interventions Testing Program [2].

Interestingly it is worthy of note that many past research programs were tainted by inadvertent calorie restriction - the things they tested led to led to lab animals eating less. The effects of calorie restriction on health and life span are many times larger than those produced by most other things under testing.

To address your subtext of animal abuse, the only thing worse than running animal studies to advance medicine and life science knowledge is to not run those studies. Even the path to the future in which near all studies are carried out in tissue engineered flesh or simulation, causing no harm to creatures capable of suffering, requires present animal studies. Researchers want that future as it is better on all counts. Further, studies of calorie restriction and longevity are about the most benign of animal studies: these animals are healthier and longer-lived as a result of the restriction. If you want to do something about animal suffering, farming is the place to start, not research, as it accounts for 99.9% of the harms you dislike.

I hear Clozure works well on Windows (64?).
Precisely: the distribution of 100m sprint times is a curve with a small number of people below 10s. The question in programming is perhaps: are there people who should be paid 10x the average developers? Maybe such a claim is where the myth of the 10x programmer comes from? Comparing with sports: it's economically sound to pay a footballer who is marginally better than another 100x more because the wins count, not their performance!
There are many arguments as to why someone with 4x problem solving speed doesn't actually provide 4x the business value, but in fierce competition a tiny individual performance advantage can mean a huge business advantage.
I wonder what a survey of real Go users about generics would show. I'm betting an overwhelming majority would like that.

That's one reason (among many) I like OpenStreetMaps, since it has an API that lets you download subsets of data for offline usage, along with bulk dumps of the whole thing. Allows for all sorts of offline uses, not to mention data mining, that are impossible with Google Maps.
