It's amusing to see owners of disinformation platforms lose control of their content. They are put in the losing position of always playing catch-up to censor information which is often a pointless endeavor since by the time they catch up the mob's attention has moved on (but sometimes they can stop kill movements in their infancy). This is just the first wave, though. Newer platforms will be even more heavily AI-censored and manipulated; hopefully adversarial / chaos content keeps slipping through.
I along with other "leftists" use it as a short-hand for left-wing politics, generally those who believe in politics usually placed on the left of the left-right spectrum, including but not limited to the abolition of what we believe are systematic unjustified inequalities within society.
Interesting point but I disagree on grounds that most devs don't have github repos and dont contribute to open-source IMO.
I can conjure a scientific wild ass guess on the spot.

"I wasted around 10 hours last week thanks to inadvertently pulling broken builds because we don't have a CI server. I spent 4 hours manually deploying things because we don't have a CI server."

"When can I move the new CI server I already setup on my workstation - because fuck wasting half my week to that nonsense, and I had nothing better to do while the devs who broke the build fixed it - to a proper server where everyone can benefit?"

Extrapolating, that's what - 4 months per year of potential savings?

Sure, 14 hours might not be enough time to automate your entire build process, but it should be enough to automate some of it, get some low hanging fruit and start seeing immediate gains. Incrementally improve it for more gains when you're waiting for devs to fix the build for stuff the CI server didn't catch.
Yes! I've done this with a number of websites! It's been a really useful tool in developing self control.

Filtering: not just for censorship.

This would have to be worrying for companies like Baremetrics, ChartMogul etc.

Obviously it is not 100% the same - but the ability to quickly get MRR, ARR etc would solve many peoples main pain.

But isn't the whole point of inheritance in python precisely because the namespaces collide?

You are taking advantage of this 'collision' in order to allow generic operations to function at higher/lower levels of the system..

Yes, however in python, as others have pointed out here, this unfortunately entails knowing what all the related layers are doing.. so it should be only one tool in the toolchest depending on the problem at hand..
Seems like my feed encourages me to do less scrolling than ever. My feed has become a haven for linked and sponsored content, and there's the occasional spatter of original content from friends. I don't see a lot of the stuff I actually care about (photos of friends, their newborns, lengthy posts, etc.) without going straight to their pages.

I swear some of these personal posts never hit my home feed, they just get buried. This is odd as the personal stuff is the content I'm most likely to interact with. This is doubly confounding because the posts I don't see usually have a lot interaction among my close network, especially compared to the noise that's topping my feed.

More and more I find myself going directly to a handful of profiles and spending less time on FB because of the feed's noise.
I rarely see any butterflies these days
How much do you think it cost em?
I mainly watch some of the fluffier informational content like semi-educational youtube videos and documentaries as a blend of relaxation and low efficiency passive learning.

I find that information density and technical depth are inversely proportional to my ability watch this content when I'm trying to relax or if I'm tired :)

Not a terribly surprising finding, but I'm glad some of this "more digestible" informative content is increasingly available. I'd usually rather watch that type of stuff than most fictional shows. I do like a good novel now and then though.
Depends I guess, most components are specced to around or just under zero, some military spec stuff is down to -40C, I don't think your laptop would like -200C.

I think the concern for me of having a cold machine taken of a plane into UK weather right now (24C and humid as hell) is the condensation that would build up if I started sucking damp warm humid air into a stone cold machine.

Is it? Since Adobe switched to the subscription model and the "Adobe Creative Cloud" I'd say they would be quite happy if that infrastructure would be good enough to run their very big application suite(s). Not to mention the savings of not having to support two major platforms (and several OS versions for each) - even realizing them only partially would be big. Of course, given the size of their product I'd say there is little use in talking about this at this point, the web platform would have to mature a lot more first.

I don't even think it's a choice. Trump and co don't really have a coherent vision, so each policy decision doesn't build on the next. There is no unified Trump doctrine only kneejerk spasms.

The problem is the structure of American govt and institutions themselves. Trump has no incentive to get good at the game of politics as it was played for the last 200 years.

Actions aren't justified, motivations aren't explained, and there is no attempt at persuasion. It's all my team, your team, zero sum foolishness.
I care, I just don't think I understand.
The standard library's own `Vec` type is an example of a struct that is generic without traits. See the source: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/4ed2edaafe82fb8d44e81... . In fact, almost no struct or enum uses traits in combination with generics. On the other hand, generic functions do almost always leverage traits, because otherwise you basically can't do anything in the function with the generic parameter.

However, note that there does exist a very important generic function in the stdlib that doesn't use traits at all: `std::mem::drop`. Here's the source, which is very, very interesting: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/4ed2edaafe82fb8d44e81... . And no, I'm not being facetious when I call it interesting; figuring out what `std::mem::drop`'s purpose is from its amusing implementation is a test that you understand what ownership means in Rust. :)

Facebook and Twitter I get, but you were being angered and stressed by Instagram? It's the only social media I actively use precisely because it's not stressful or rage inducing. I'm into photography so it gives me an outlet that way (even though taking a picture with a real camera, editing it on a computer, then sending it to my phone to post on Instagram is a bit of a pain), and the annoying content from other people is very rare.

I will say, however that they've stepped up their ad insertion and display algorithm a bit recently, in a bad way, which is unfortunate. But I certainly see much less of the spammy ideological content that I do on Facebook and Twitter.
You might do "challenging work" or long hours of "shitty work", but not "hard work"? Etc

Sounds like the whole point rests on only a limited definition of the word hard.
Yea I just read from the comments and updated my comment.

First I used browser bookmarks. Organizing and searching them was a mess. And link rot was terrible.

I looked for something different and used OneNote to store complete web-pages in the cloud. Link rot was gone and organizing and searching was awesome. Until my OneNote file on OneDrive reached 8GB and performance and syncing took a nosedive.

And not so long ago I found ScrapBook for Firefox [1]. Couldn't be happier! Storing everything locally is awesome. Searching and organizing full pages and links is great. I can take care of backing up the data myself and can crawl the pages on my local drive.

I just hope that firefox keeps those plugins running, otherwise I'll have to find something else again...

I've always viewed 24 hour news channels in the same vein. Twitter just puts a layer of social validation on top of it.

Social media is driving traditional channels to be worse so that those channels can be more relevant on social media.

Fundamentally there's just TOO much information for anyone person to process. Social media democratized the information spread where as before the news bore the brunt of that work.

Now everyone has more access to information but at the cost of spending all your time scrolling through it. There's too much to scroll... so we've relegated ourselves to soundbyte headlines.

The worst thing about this is we are programmed for group-think but rational behavior requires us to be more self-aware. There's a number of pop-sci books around this one I've personally read is https://www.amazon.com/Wiser-Getting-Beyond-Groupthink-Smart...
in which an important point is made that we need to seek novel information instead of shared information to make better decisions.

Social Media as good as it is for discovering new information it has very much become a signal to noise problem.

So taking the numbers at face value, we should be able to calculate the max acceptable cost you should be willing to incur to get those stock options. If you get, e.g. a 20% chance at a payout of 500 000 USD, not allowing for interest you might earn if applicable, or opportunity cost, whatever you need to do to get the options should not be worth more than 100 000 usd.

Reality is probably a little fuzzier than that, though.
For me it's quite the opposite: knowing Perl I have little incentive to learn Python; the syntax is quite different, it uses significant whitespace that can easily change the logic. With Ruby it's different because Matz was inspired by Perl and the language is quite ellegant. Too bad it's equally slow. Maybe if mruby/crystal changes that it would be a nice language to learn.
I hear you but I actually enjoy some pictures of peoples food, e.g. when my brother has made a nice wok.

I also miss the "going to the beach", "this was a nice day" etc.

I don't miss "join me on farmville", "1000 reasons why Trump and/or Hillary are dumb" etc.
Been 4-5 years without Facebook. Life for me has definitely been better than without. Same goes with Instagram. Something toxic about both of these platforms.
Neat tool, I was able to put more than 100% ownership into a Company though and I don't think that should be possible.

Do you trust online storage? Meaning, do you have backups of your photos offline somewhere, or are you only in the cloud?
I'm taking issue with his first sentence, not second.
Pretty sure protecting your personal space is the government's job. At least in the US. Not saying they are doing a good job in particular, but it's in the mission statement.
Might make more sense to buy a cheap laptop for travel and keep it separate from your work and personal life as much as you can.

At least that way you can't be accused of hiding anything if you literally have nothing to hide - at least at the airport.

>it is clear that a significant component of a data scientist’s organizational role is to educate the organization about what is possible and, at the same time, to help other decision makers understand the consequences of reduced quality, shorter timelines, and smaller budgets that may result from different options.

Replace "data scientist" with a different title and this covers almost any employee with domain expertise.

You do not need a massive training set and a bunch of layers to verify this.

I'm sure Facebook will still track you (this applies even if you don't have a Facebook account). You'd need to block their domain and any ad domains that may be related. (Edit: Also mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14463127)
Alternatively, if the decrease in young people was marginal, and the increase in other age groups balanced it out, it could be true that there was no overall decrease. Hard to say without seeing their numbers. Especially if these young people were only a tiny percentage of the labor pool to begin with, it may be an inconsequential blip in the bigger picture, which is how I read it.

In other words, if young people were 10% of the labor pool, and experienced a 10% reduction in work, that would be significant to that demographic, but a less significant 1% increase overall would mask it from impacting the bigger picture.
I closed my FB in 2013 and time passes so quick. I created a dummy account to have access to certain pages but I dont use it. But a lot of people have created thousands of dummy accounts to show how many friends they have. They sell on the market fake accounts/followers.

And I dont want to be part of such a group. Plus other reasons like the ones in the article like this.
So why do it? What's the justification?
The thing is, in recent years it's worse than it has ever been.

100% merit-based systems were never a thing but that doesn't mean a drop from, say, 85% to 60% isn't alarming and objectionable.
Tools like this are really helpful for startup employees. Thanks for sharing!

Looks like there are some hidden assumptions about liquidation presence etc. Might be good to add a slider for that. (My employees would do pretty well at a $25M exit!)
I don't think the extremists from either side will ever see the irony over fighting to keep liberty from one another.

Michio Kaku was right about human kind destroying itself. He just overestimated on the time it was take. It's not only the terrorist who don't want a type 1 civilization.

Some forms of intrusion are more difficult to avoid than others; obviously that doesn't make it irrational to avoid as much as you realistically can.

Also, Facebook holds a significantly broader type of information than uncle Sam or T-Mobile. And Facebook also provides an avoidable vector for government surveillance. Analogy: no machine is totally secure, that doesn't mean we give up, turn off all security software and stop patching exploits.
That's the way round I meant. Yes you can have generics without traits (particularly with data structures as you've pointed out). Not sure of anything that uses traits without generics.
Something feels off with the data here. 65% of Series A companies will never exit, but 71% of Series C+ companies will never exit?

Edit: Thought about this a little deeper and it is possible with a lot of companies exiting prior to the Series C, but suspect the data set of Series C+ companies may just be too small?
> The middle solution: Anti-profiling. It's not about going after certain groups, it's about ignoring certain groups that are harmless.

That is still profiling.

Given four groups, A,B,C,D with a property of dangerous/not dangerous.

If I say only A,B and D are dangerous then I'm saying C is not dangerous.

If I say only C isn't dangerous then I'm saying A,B and D are dangerous.
Thanks. I've done scala for a few years and only dabbled in rust but it certainly seemed plausible that various decisions in rust, about what to do and not to do, had been informed by scala. Glad to have it confirmed.
PlutoVR | Software Engineer | Seattle, WA. | ONSITE | Full Time

We are a 14 person startup in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. We are looking for Software Engineers who are passionate about writing well-tested production grade software. Pluto is building a mass market communication service for AR and VR.

Pluto is a purpose-driven organization. Our purpose being "To help humanity transcend physical location." We are hoping to find someone who is equally excited by our purpose. At Pluto we don't have job titles or hierarchical management rather we all share management duties and use non-violent communication (NVC) techniques combined with other processes and practices (heavily inspired from http://www.reinventingorganizations.com/) to hold ourselves and each other accountable and aligned to our purpose.

Our current product technology stack spans from a web tech (CSS, HTML, JavaScript) based user interface to a C# based rendering client (written with Unity3d) to our back end micro services written with NodeJS and running on AWS. We seek engineers who are as excited as we are about shared ownership of all our tech and able to apply themselves towards solving problems anywhere in the product.

There is no question that Facebook is tracking you by other means, including IP. Even non-social media companies do so.

Why, you may ask? Because mining data about the pages you visit after Facebook allows for targeted advertisement, at the very least.
IANAL and I can't find the court documents, but probably not much. Not unless you are offering up solutions to intentionally bypass the requirements.

Having worked at an EHR, PMs routinely instructed us to build things specifically. I could suggest cosmetic stuff, but couldn't really suggest changes to the underlying business logic of the requirements because it had usually been hammered out by PMs/Nurses/Doctors/Maybe-legal. These requirements formed the basis of test cases for QA to run though.

ECW was not the vendor I worked for, so it's possible the developer had more influence over business logic or its implementation.

These things sound like time or cost-cutting measures:

>opted to added the 16 drug codes necessary for certification into its software rather than enable the product to access those from a complete database

Sounds like they didn't buy the database.

>eClinicalWorks did not satisfy data portability requirements designed to enable doctors to transfer patient data to over vendor’s EHRs

This sounds like they didn't want to build something to export to CCDA?

These sound like negligence / not enough testing:

>failed to accurately record user actions with audit log functionality

>did not always accurately record diagnostic imaging orders or conduct drug-drug interaction checks

For drug-drug interaction, that is probably another drug database to purchase, so it's possible they simply hadn't bought it. Building your own is obviously out of the question.

Sure. Note though that if they predate the Avos sale, they're likely gone unless you opted in.
I do this as well. No app on my phone (including messenger) and I purposely only use the site in one browser on one device (Safari on my Macbook), and only check it maybe once per day. Added bonus is that Facebook isn't getting all of that tracking cookie info from me (or at least not as easily) since I don't use Safari for anything else.

ask for advice: I run 30-40 miles/week, in 7.5 increments, and at the upper end of that range my feet hurt almost unbearably by the end of the run and immediately after. it's interfering with me extending my range (shooting for 50/week). what can I do? I have decent shoes and I get new ones when the tread wears down. also my form is pretty good I think (exclusively toe striking).
Here is some details:

https://www.rabbitmq.com/confirms.html#publisher-confirms-la...

To fully guarantee that a message won't be lost, it looks like you need to declare the queue as durable + to mark your message as persistent + use publisher confirm. And it looks like this costs you several hundreds milliseconds of latency.
I expect "Export" to go away immediately and be replaced with "Migrate to Pinboard for $11/yr."
A long time ago I used to setup IFTTT to automatically backup Facebook photos with me tagged to a Dropbox folder. This included photos posted by others with me tagged.

I've long since abandoned Facebook, but I wouldn't be surprised if a similar IFTTT feature exists to export tagged photos into Google Photos. If I recall this only works for 'new' photos posted that you are tagged in, it doesn't appear to pull images from before you enabled the IFTTT service. At any rate, this lets you see photos you are tagged in without ever having to actually use your Facebook account.
This is a great example of how detailed, specific nerd-ery about just about any topic can be super-cool and interesting!
That's insane. http://webkay.robinlinus.com/ has some more interesting methods. One of my favourites is querying every IP address in your local network and seeing which ones are up to generate a profile on you.
