Curate was very specifically chosen. There is moderation - which is about the selection of material to see and its removal... and then there is curation which focuses on maintaining existing material.

These are only a few instances of places on Stack Overflow where community curation of larger material has worked. The C++ community on Stack Overflow is very careful and protective with https://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-... . But outside of that, most people let questions and answers rot.

Fun and interesting can happen when it doesn't become a distraction for the site as a whole. MathOverflow, with more active curation that is possible with a larger active contributor to overall community ratio is able to handle list questions ( https://mathoverflow.net/questions/tagged/big-list?sort=vote... ) in a way that has often failed to be curated well on Stack Overflow.

The "less likelihood" is a binary thing. Stack Overflow can't say "index this, but don't show that result often" to google. Google does what it wants. The way to remove noise to help with the signal for that vision of good programming knowledge is to, well, remove noise. People up voting fun things makes that signal for good material even harder to find though.
Illuminating as in... misleading?

They stop NGO ships from illegally ferrying more migrants into Italy (they already have done that for 100k+ migrants), and instead force them to go back to Libya. They also save migrants if need be and then bring them to Libya.

If the NGO's being blocked from illegally transferig migrants to Italy makes them take longer to get people off the boat onto the coast, perhaps they shouldn't have gone to Italy in the first place.

There also wouldn't be nearly as many human traffickers in that area if the NGO's weren't helping them into Italy, so if Defend Europe is effective in deterring new migrants it might well end up saving lives, and it will definitely be for the living conditions of lower class EU citizens, as the migrants are not vetted and likely to be of an average IQ of 83 (the average in Libya in 2006), and thus compete for work with the EU lower class and press down wages, or they don't find work and become a drain on the social nets.

Not to speak of the corrosive effects of immigration without proper integration, and the danger of the erosion of western values by displacement of white populations (who reproduce at sub-replacement rates) by Islamic, generally lower-IQ populations who are more interested in conquest and Sharia law than in women's rights or freedom of religion.

Exactly this. Every thread on GM quickly polarizes into useless for and against sides, when we need to be selective about it.

And I've never bought the characterization of breeding/selection as a form of GM. Breeding is selection of a pathetically tiny set of modifications, but GM is on a whole other level. With GM we can write arbitrary binary strings of code into any organism. That's simply not comparable with breeding -- the space of realizable phenotypes is orders of magnitude larger with GM.

If I understood correctly, the wireless transmission is one way. So the attacker would ask the wallet to sign a transaction, then the confirm button would be mistakingly pressed... and you have to scan the screen to be able to send that transaction.

Possible problem: The attacker sends a transaction at the same time (or just before) a legit one is sent.

Not a big deal: The user is asked to send a specific quantity to a specific address on the screen. If somehow the user didn't check or the attacker fooled him with the same quantity etc, the picture still has to be taken and check it is the same transaction. Additionally, the wireless communication can have a second authentication factor.

No it isn't, it's an exercise in property rights and a reminder that most of the "internet" as we know it, including this very board, is private property.

Barring a legally binding contract or criminal activity, no one is under any obligation to protect the civil rights of those on their property. If I wanted to hold a "whites only" house party and turn away minorities at the door, I can do that. If I refuse to allow protesters to use my front lawn as a staging area, I can do that. If I own a website and someone says something I don't like, I can ban them. If someone doesn't like Patreon's policies then they are welcome to start Conservatreon.

I think the scarier prospect is people thinking that property holders should be forced to act as law enforcement within their domains, and to make determinations about civil rights. Sure it may seem rosy for free speech, but you're opening the flood gates with that one.

Free speech simply says that you can't be arrested for speaking. It doesn't say people have to listen, and forcing people to listen is only going to worsen the situation you describe.
I am just a descriptive English speaker. Thank you for the kind words!
Is there really much of a difference between "const" and "con"? I get that one is 66% longer than the other, but does it actually affect the readability of the code or the amount of time it takes to write it?

> Closures are a great way to maintain private variables in JavaScript but also seem to be a source of great misunderstanding.

Very true on both counts, but unfortunately the article perpetuates some of this misunderstanding.

> Where it gets interesting is when you return a function from an outer function...

Abbreviated example from the article:

var outer = function () {
var a = 1;
return function inner() {
return a;
};
};

...and that's the only example. No mention of where closures are actually most useful, and not a peep that you don't need a function that returns a function to get one. Any function call can get you a closure.

I deal with this frequently on Stack Overflow. Someone asks a question where a closure is a great solution, and then someone answers with a complicated example involving a function that returns a function.

It seems to come up a lot in Google Maps API code:

var places = [
{ name:"Test", lat:10, lng:10 },
...
];

function initMap()
var map = new google.maps.Map(...);
for( var i = 0; i < places.length; ++i ) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker(...);
// This is the complicated part:
marker.addListener( 'click', (function( marker ) {
return function() {
// This works because of the closure:
infowindow.open( map, marker );
}
})( marker ) );
}
}

It doesn't have to be done that way! You'll get a closure that works just as well if you simply call a function in the loop:

function initMap()
var map = new google.maps.Map(...);
for( var i = 0; i < places.length; ++i ) {
addMarker( places[i] );
}

function addMarker( place ) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker(...);
marker.addListener( 'click', function() {
// We have a closure here too:
infowindow.open( map, marker );
});
}
}

There are other ways to do this in modern JavaScript (such as using let inside the loop). I'm using old-school JavaScript here just to show that it could be done this simply even in the oldest browsers.

Of course, the same thing can be done with forEach():

function initMap()
var map = new google.maps.Map(...);
places.forEach( addMarker );

function addMarker( place ) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker(...);
marker.addListener( 'click', function() {
// We have a closure here too:
infowindow.open( map, marker );
});
}
}

Or with the forEach callback inline:

function initMap()
var map = new google.maps.Map(...);
places.forEach( function( place ) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker(...);
marker.addListener( 'click', function() {
// We have a closure here too:
infowindow.open( map, marker );
});
});
}

The point in each of these cases is that you don't need a function that returns a function to get a closure, but people who answer SO questions perpetuate this myth day after day.
I've just written a well formed question in stack overflow and within the first minute it already had a downvote and a comment questioning the wording. In order to avoid a worse hit in my karma I've deleted if. It's a shame what stack overflow has become. I wish they could get some stats on how quickly new questions are downvoted to Oblivion by big users (I'd rather not give names but I'm sure you know some). Dictatorship.
"Warren and Tyagi demonstrated that buying common luxury items wasn’t the issue for most Americans. The problem was the fixed costs, the things that are difficult to cut back on. Housing, health care, and education cost the average family 75 percent of their discretionary income in the 2000s. The comparable figure in 1973: 50 percent."

Sort of - the point of u2f is challenge-response on the key, which is tied to the URI or https session, which makes it impossible to phish without a browser exploit
People and car manufacturers have been doing this forever, by playing with the exhaust.

Wanna make your shitty Honda Civic sound fast? Just put a big bore exhaust on it.

It's just that they've decided to be considerate (and probably cheaper) and use speakers in the car.
The "point" of U2F instead of HOTP/TOTP is that the code you send to evilhacker.com can't be used on google.com - so getting a usable token by phishing is impossible. HOTP/TOTP are flawed in that you can send the generated code to evilhacker.com and they can use it to log in to google.com with you being none the wiser.
> weather in the state is brutal at both ends of the year.

It should be mentioned, though, that the remedy to the brutal summers can be just as brutal. I'm sure that I'm not the only person who expects summer colds because of constant transitions from the sweltering-hot outdoors to the icy-cold air-conditioned tundras that every business maintains.

(Also, I'm sure parts of Texas get severe winters, but I've never seen one in Fort Worth. (Or did you mean something different by 'both ends'?) The main thing that I see here is that houses are built with no effective insulation, so that, during the winter, a perfectly manageable temperature outside can render the inside frigid.)

EDIT: I'm sorry for downvote whining, but, just to be clear, this isn't just a "the weather, amirite?" post; while I agree that living in Texas without AC is probably unbearable, I also think that there's no need to crank ACs to the levels at which businesses (and buses!) set them, and I can't imagine that this aggressive cooling doesn't have a significant energy impact.

But if you attack a massive sewage treatment plant and completely disable it, you can effect maybe... 10 million people, if we're being generous?

If you hit AWS, just Netflix alone is going to effect 100 million people. There are definitely a few payroll providers that are going to have some reliance, so people all over are going to stop receiving their paycheques. Many businesses will be temporarily disabled.

On a national level we've got a lot more eggs concentrated in the AWS baskets than we do the sewage treatment baskets.

What do you like about ES6? It just looks like syntactic sugar to me, but I'm always interested in re-evaluating.

Writing [1,2,3].map(function(x) { return x+10 }) really doesn't bother me. I don't see what the benefit is of an arrow function. Are there other things that you like?

As the OP mentions, the inheritance stuff is just likely to cause architecture headaches. I like JavaScript's concurrency model (single threaded with callbacks) so I don't see any benefit to the async stuff.

It just seems like people added a ton of complexity to give up a few keystrokes. Transpiling and shimming and adding more control structures make your application more complicated, so there is a real cost. And keystrokes are not generally a big problem when I'm programming. I'm not in a race.
I am a polyglot, so no, I don't find it unreadable. I would probably structure it differently.

I always wonder why Lisp never ceases to get singled out for parentheses when each language uses parentheses, braces, semicolons, colons, pipes, etc...

I program in C, Forth\Factor, Lisp/Scheme, Python, J, APL, F#, C#, Asm, Basic, Clojure and others. Each has their syntax and differences, and it just takes getting used to them.

I like Hy, but as the documentation says it is not Lisp or Clojure, but Homoiconic Python with that guiding and constraining its implementation. A lot of fun, really. I only get as much pleasure from J for play.

I'm sorry, I don't buy books to solve injustice. I buy them to be informed or entertained.

Why stop at choosing books by gender? If it's irrelevant to the subject matter being written on, should I buy books based on someone's nationality? Their religion? Their race? Their sexual orientation?

Citing examples of authors where the subject matter is relevant to their identity is not a counter-argument to the point I'm making. I'm in agreement that only Toni Morrison can write about Toni Morrison's identity-related experiences and only Fanon can write about Fanon's identity-related experiences. However, if Fanon and Toni were to both write a book on something like the 2008 banking crisis, I would expect the their lived identity-related experiences to be largely irrelevant to the final product each produces.

This reduction of individuals to their identity is dehumanizing.
I don't really understand why people have an issue with polygraphs. They're pretty effective for the sole task they're designed for. As long as people don't try to involve them in legal cases (or otherwise use them as a genuine barometer for honesty), what's the problem?
> So Tesla is going to win because they can do something their competition is legally prohibited from doing? If it actually started to hurt existing automakers you would see those regulations disappear faster than you can say, 'protecting the American auto industry'.

[Edit]

To flip that on you, the NADA has enacted laws that legally prevent Tesla from selling cars in certain states. But you know, the free market will sort all that out.
I don't know what Monsanto did or didn't do and don't have any particular rooting interest for Monsanto, but I think it's worth noting that the published science for the carcinogenicity of glyphosate (the "weed killer" we're talking about here) is extremely flimsy.

Most publicity about "cancer" and "Monsanto" is traceable back to an IARC report that the World Health Organization (IARC's parent) essentially retracted. The report itself concerned dozens of different pesticides and herbicides and mentioned glyphosate only in passing. The studies it referred to equivocated about any link between glyphosate and human cancer.

(I'm going from memory here and someone will probably correct me on this, which will be great!)

It would be surprising if glyphosate turned out to be toxic, because it straightforwardly targets a metabolic pathway that plants have and the entire kingdom of Animalia lacks.

California recently added glyphosate to its list of chemicals that it's required to alert consumers about. But of course, that list is long and includes substances that virtually nobody controls their own exposure to, such as acrylamide --- a known human carcinogen --- which is universally present in cooked foods.

Finally, and this is obvious, but we're reading articles on a plaintiff lawyer's website. That's fine, but you're clearly not going to get the whole story from them. For instance, the lawyers are happy to leave you with a headline about Monsanto trying to "retract a cancer study". But they're of course going to leave out the fact that the study in question was the Séralini study, of "Séralini affair" fame; you can look this up in Wikipedia to see what I'm referring to.

> This isn't a "low key social engineering hack", it's betraying someone's trust.

I've known some kids who went through a phase where you would ask them something like "Did you clean your room?", they'd say "Yes!" and then later, upon confronting them with their messy room, they'd get this self-satisfied sneaky look, and cackle: "Hah! I tricked you!"

While I sympathize with the David-and-Goliath allure of reversing the power-relationship between them and the adults in the household, I tried to explain that such direct lies weren't quite the kind of devious tricksterhood that gets a celebration.

While I do own a few pairs of Bluetooth headphones I have yet to have any, from the cheap to the expensive, not have occasional hiccups. Because of this I love using my headphone jack.

I'm sad that this is a trend especially without a good, alternative and standard way of using headphones over, say, USB-C. I mean I would be _completely fine_ with removing the 3.5mm if you could re-use another jack for the same purpose but being restricted to Bluetooth or USB-C dongles, at least to me, sucks.

The funniest/saddest part of this is that even the people that catch on to the probable poison that is glyphosate and the shill campaign behind it will still angrily defend the safety and efficacy of IG Farben vaccines while happily eating Monsanto GM Frankencorn grown with glyphosate.

I'm not sure if I'd buy a vehicle with promised "self-driving capabilities" (especially if we are talking about full replace-human-pilot watch-movies-instead-of-driving capabilities) in mind until the manufacturer has positively demonstrated that yes, they are able to create that kind of capability with the sensors and hardware vehicles are equipped with.

For example, turning on a self-driving feature that still requires constant vigilance and treating it like it does not ... sounds accident-prone.
