Even in the hobbies, particularly sports, subreddits I see a lot of narrow mindedness that I don't see in other forums for the same activities. Like asking how to do X type of cycling, the top comment will be some exhortation on how you must do ABC with Z bike or you will die. Versus bikeforums.net, where people will chime in with a more "anything goes" attitude, and seem to have greater depth and breadth of experience.
Isn't 2020 the definition of "a few years"?
Many of these issues have likely been resolved.

Wiki supports the wiki format, markdown, and HTML now.

There is now a "fossil search" command for full-text search (including artifacts, if enabled).

I've never had a username/password failure so no idea what that could be.

For tickets, icomment is probably the solution you want but it's not very intuitive.

git add -p doesn't require a staging area per se, and I could see that being added as part of the commit process... but usually I like to test my changes a little bit before committing (e.g., does this even compile) and I can't do that on a partial commit.
Large media companies are not very ethical; news at 11. How is that relevant to whether he should have a claim on it?
> You're right, and I already paid for it with my ISP.

No, you paid for bandwidth from your ISP to you. Your ISP doesn't pay anyone else for traffic. YouTube also has to pay your ISP and that cost is made up from ads.
Don't worry, you'll get reactions ranging from "there is no documentation of anyone dying as a direct result of nuclear power", to straw man arguments about coal, to "more people die from installing solar panels than are impacted by nuclear", et al.

Is it fair to call Facebook a single-purpose-at-best company? They are the top social networking company in the world. Within social media is encompassed global communication, local communities, news and information sharing, etc.

Sure, there are a ton of negative externalities of that such as fake news spam. But it also puts them in a unique position to tailor their site to encourage the behaviors and enforce the values they want. I think the focus on local communities is an important example. Obviously local communities can create groups now, but there is a lot that can be done to encourage those kinds of communities and groups and discover existing ones.
On the other hand they have zero user lock-in and are heavily losing money. That's a risky combination.

Herein lies the tragedy, this dream exists in many places in the world! But even though we're in the wealthiest country on the planet, investing in our cities has become a seemingly unattainable dream. The problems are far more political than they are technological, but the nature of American politics and society has drained us of vision and hope.

I think this happens when the URL is assigned based on the title first entered, then the title is changed later. At least I think I've seen that happen on Wordpress. It's a fun little easter egg though.
Agreed, but if you want a large world leading company you need a couple thousand people skilled & experienced in all sorts of professions. If you're in Helsinki or even Stockholm you just can't go out and hire such a large experienced teams let alone expect them to beat the world.
I think there are two issues here which we should separate. Yes, in an adversarial court system such as the one we have in the US, a severe resource imbalance between litigants tends to influence the outcome more than it should. Justice should be based on the facts of the case, not on the litigants' ability to work the system.

But as far as fair use specifically is concerned, I think fair use rights need to be protected and even expanded. I agree that Fox should not have been able to prevail in the example you mentioned. I don't agree that ABC's short clip of the video on question should not qualify as fair use.

But I suppose you could make the argument that imposing a narrow view of fair use on some large corporations could persuade them to lobby for broader protections. As things stand, I expect any lobbying going on about fair use is entirely on the side of restricting it.
Zak, you have a pretty high Karma so you just down vote me because you don't like my opinion and I certainly wasn't rude or harsh in my language. Is that reasonable?

It's not right to say, "Mother Teresa was not a good person because [minor thing I disagree about]."

Her views do not cancel 45 years of service. I wish more people would be "bad" like Mother Teresa. There would be fewer depressed, fewer lonely, fewer suicidal, fewer addicts, fewer outcasts.

The atheist Hitchens wrote several hit pieces on the religious Teresa due to her views on abortion, suffering, women's rights, and more. But the world is not made better by spilling rivers of ink about perceived imperfections in the laborers helping society's outcasts. The world is made better by the good things people do for others.

I'd rather live in a world with 1 imperfect laboring Mother Teresa than 1000 babbling do-nothings.

I will respond seriously even though I know you're trying to be facetious.

Email and text, like Facebook posts, are all instantaneous means of communication, unlike sending a letter. Email and text are actually better too, because I can send the article directly to the recipients I intend on sharing it with, as opposed to a Facebook post, which is like an email, except the To: field is populated with <my entire address book, potentially>
It was actually precomputed at one point, but there are two things that make it less appealing. They don't feature in the article until part #3, unfortunately.

The first is flexible range - the light has adjustable brightness which makes it bigger/smaller. The second is the flickering effect applied to each line. Both these things mean that any access to the precomputed table would have to be scaled anyway, which would remove most of its benefit - to the point where all it would save would be one subtraction (sqrt() is taken from a precalculated table in the final version).
The current market cap of Zcoin is 1,538 BTC [0], so this person created 1/4 of all the coins in circulation (410 BTC), and these guys are saying: "We knew we were being attacked when we saw that the total mint transactions did not match up with the total spend transactions". It took them way too long to realize that they were being outsmarted.

So who eats the loss for this?
A/B tested on who? I see hundreds of resumes throughout the year and your resume is one that I would likely pass over because, frankly, it looks like something a young student slapped together real quick in MS Word compared to the average resume I see.

When it comes to design, I immediately notice that the font size for your name is much too big (especially compared to the email address). Then there is the page header (Qualifications) which takes up around 10% of the page on its own. Under the 'Related History' section, the name of the projects take up way too much space while the font-size of your job title and duration of stay are hard to read. Why do you need that empty white block next to the name of the projects? All this wasted space not only makes the resume's layout ineffective but also makes it look very unprofessional.

Content-wise, the core of your resume should be what you have under 'Related History'. I want to be able to get a good idea, quickly, of what you did in your past positions. Based on that information I can get a good idea of pretty much everything you have under 'Qualifications'. I would cut all of 'Qualifications' out and summarize everything in there into 3 - 4 bullet points/short sentences. Also, why did you bold seemingly random words like 'CMS' and 'infrastructure'?

Honestly, I would just stick to something like https://www.careercup.com/resume. Remember, the key point of your resume is to quickly communicate your past experience and highlight relevant information.
This is disingenuous critism that reiterates canned talking points, while failing to cover much of the manifesto's content. Zuck's document in question is actually fairly substantive and raises some intriguing questions that Facebook's leadership has to grapple to retain relevance in a diverse world that isn't all fairies and unicorns, but where people actually oppose each other politically, culturally, and along other axes.

While he frames it in terms of being a good actor as opposed to making a profit, I can't fault him for this in what is essentially a PR post. At least it acknowledges common criticisms of Facebook's moderation, content policy, and editorial behavior, and displays an awareness that hurried knee-jerk hotfixes won't allay all concerns, but that they need a strategies to stay relevant.

I'm no fan of Facebook the product, or their business model being an elaborate data harvesting scheme, but place criticism where it's due, not on long-form PR blog posts that admit they fucked up a few times and they can do better -- even if they play up examples where FB being in the right place at the right time with the right marketshare has has helped people.
That's really not true.

Do you have any specific arguments against it? Is it your view, for instance, that non-euasian continents could have achieved the power of eurasia, in spite of their lack of suitable plants and animals, and if so, what accounts for what actually happened?

I couldn't figure out why the internet was so freaking slow for the last few months, then I stumbled on this.

As much as I prefer Firefox over Chromium, lack of OpenGL support essentially forced me to switch. To see if it hit you:

about:support will say "GPU Accelerated Windows	0/1 Basic (OMTC)"

1/1 means accelerated.

To override (this leads to terrible artifacts on my machine, but is actually more usable than the default, for me):

Go to about:config and set this to true, then restart:

layers.acceleration.force-enabled

Alternatively, you can kind of work around it by using noscript (javascript often leads to tons of screen redraws per second).

It sounds like they disabled this across the board, due to lack of development resources. Maybe it's time to send some cash to the Mozilla foundation.

There was a recruitment drive by Microsoft back in the late 1980s or early 90s that included a radio commercial campaign in Silicon Valley trying to recruit from the local Silicon Valley talent pool to go to Redmond.

Exactly! People don't take into account how expensive it is to maintain long roads, electrical lines, water pipes, and much more to remote places; higher cost of maintenance on said infrastructure; and how most of that area doesn't produce any revenue to fund itself. Like it or not, you're receiving enormous subsidies to live that way, and if you had to pay the true costs of your lifestyle, you might reconsider how idyllic it really is.

Ride sharing companies probably won't break even on the first few thousand self-driving cars, but they don't currently break even with humans either.

But once the tech is figured out, then you can start optimizing the marginal cost of each car, and spreading out capital costs over more cars, both of which reduce the cost.

Well I don't know, I didn't say I knew. I'm just pointing out that there are obvious weak points in critical infrastructure in space, as there are weak points in undersea cables, etc. Lots of infrastructure has bad aspects. I wish I had some deeper, enlightening insight about it all, but I don't.
The cheap, older 'analogue' servos were just PI, but the new 'digital' servos have much more advanced control. They actively reverse power to the motor when getting close to the target to extract regen power from the motor inertia while still getting a faster response. Yes, you can get this from PID, but you can't keep it at full reverse right up to the moment it hits the target without getting nasty oscillations as the voltage changes.
A common approach to 2) is the database approach ("data-oriented design") where you basically have tables and replace pointers by offsets into these tables.

That might not work if the situation is very uncontrolled and objects live and die very quickly. But in most cases you can just let die a few objects, and every once in a while do "garbage collection" manually by renumbering the still-alive objects to be consecutively indexed.

Usually the result is very clean, performant and modular code.

It's clean and modular for all the reasons that E.F. Codd preached all his life.

It's performant because the tables approach is not micro-managing allocations - each table is only one allocation.
You will be hard pressed to detect a difference of (single array + relative index) to raw pointers (= absolute index). There's even machine level support for relative addressing.

You also write most of your code to operate on slices (tables or contiguous subsets of tables) instead of only one row per function call. Mike Acton rightfully says "where there's one, there's many". This approach is obviously great for performance because it avoids function-call overhead and because it's cache-friendly.

By the way, what's Rust's story to avoid referencing dead items in these tables?
I don't know why the importance of natural light in building design took so long to come into vogue. Lockheed (of all places) in Sunnyvale California built in the early 1980s its state-of-the-art Building 157 around an atrium core that meant that during daylight hours, over 70% of needed light was natural light from the outside.

The author mentions that there were a great many lucky accidents involved in the rise of the West. That is a factor that I think helps explain the Fermi Paradox. It is not enough to have an intelligent species, what they produce over the long term would seem to be civilizations that lack the sort of self-perpetuating technology dynamics that we have had in the West.
Snap to me smells too much like a company based around a particular fashion, rather than a fashion company - if the analogy makes sense.

They do the one thing really well, but it's going to go out of style at some point as these things tend to - and I'm not sure I believe they have enough other projects going on to overcome that.

I could be wrong, for sure.
Looks like they replaced a 50 with a 100.
Fossil's default mode, autosync, is more closely modeled by: git pull && if stillCommitingToBranchTip; then git commit -a; else echo "Not committing to the tip of the current branch" >&2; false; fi && git push

You can turn autosync off in which case the fossil/git push/pull doesn't happen and your commit goes straight to the repository -- still without a staging area.

This is my personal usage but, if two changes to the same file are to be committed separately (e.g., git add -p) then the commit that should have happened for those separate changes that was tested just got missed, or the commit that is occurring is untested and perhaps incoherent. That is to say, I build my staging area out of files on disk at the same time rather than building a changeset that may have never actually existed on disk.
Or alternatively, the developers designed this hard-to-find typo/bug years ago and have now just quietly cashed out.

>I wanted distributed systems to become mainstream, because of their freedom, equality, & competition benefits

Unfortunately you're in the vast minority of people who understand what distributed systems are, and how to connect them to anything as abstract as freedom, equality, etc. Most people just want an easy-to-remember, easier-to-use, not sketchy looking way to consume content. Profit-seeking companies are simply better equipped and more motivated to provide that service than the open-source community is, because they don't have to worry about freedom, equality, and certainly competition.

Voluntary association could produce hierarchies, and it's interesting to think about what sort of societies would result.
