So we end up with a balkanized sea of Mastodon servers with arbitrary interconnection. How this becomes a compelling Facebook competitor to all but a tiny minority is not obvious to me. Groups may as well set up their own bulletin board sites each with their own vision of allowed content. I.e. what we have now.

When running that command, I get output like this:

grep: alabaster: No such file or directory
grep: appdirs: No such file or directory

for dozens and dozens of packages. Are those errors benign?
That is a bad idea from my point of view.

Whatever the solution is, it should be consistent and easily knowable by the average user.

How would a website tell a user to enable auto-playing video for a website that they want it for (for example, how would youtube tell users to enable that)? How would the user even understand that this website won't work correctly for them but it works fine for their friends/family/other-browsers?

I've made a web-app that uses camera access, and the web audio API. Without either of them, the app is 100% useless, so locking those behind a permission that won't even show up until the user has been there for a while completely kills that app.

While I understand you are only talking about auto-playing video, the point still stands IMO. Trying to "guess" what the user wants is wrong when it comes to enabling/disabling features.
Which part? I mean you just download the APK and open it and it installs.
Yep! And one issue Apple will have to deal with is: if people routinely leave their phones at home, will they pay $600+ for new phones every 2 years? My guess is that Apple will not be too eager for that scenario...

I went searching and found this issue, which is still open:

https://github.com/mozilla/testpilot-containers/issues/245

"Opening a new tab from a container window opens a normal tab and not a

I should note that the last comment on that issue was made in July, so I went ahead and commented asking about adding a setting to change the new-tab container inheritance behavior.
You won't be able to find speech inciting credible threats of unconditional violence against specific individuals that won't be taken down after being reported, no. "Racist speech" doesn't necessarily meet the bar.
Ehh, they actually are very well refined interfaces. True they are text oriented, but that ages well I think.

I'm not trying to imply Leo doesn't have polish, just that native UIs age poorly compared to, say, readline/curses interfaces. The expectations are completely different, and UIs have changed a lot in 20+ years.

> There are people doing research into this, for example comparing how quickly various styles of loops are understood by beginning users (I wish I could find the talk on that right now). Like you said, it's not taken very seriously though.

I don't know other research exists, but I wouldn't personally value any research on beginning users comprehension because you're typically a beginner in a new language for a few days to a few weeks but an experienced user for years or decades, so beginner experience is just not something I care about in the big picture. (Obviously there are reasons other people might care about it... it affects initial adoption of the language and so on, but I just don't care about them personally).
So question then is, what's the scam?

Better yet, could it support bad lipreading? Now that would be an awesome App. Have the bad lipreading folks voices, and take one of your own videos, churn, viola!!! funny video.

but on second thought, it would take the joy out of bad lipreading videos due to saturation.
FWIW, I think currently column vs. row-store is not in the critical path of making postgres more suitable analytical query processing. The CPU bottlenecks are just elsewhere - and we (various postgres devs) are working on them. The storage density parts of column stores can currently partially be achieved by using a filesystem that does compression - far from great, but not disastrous either.
I think an important part of this is the label that the network creates itself. So, in your example of "four legs and fluffy = 'animal'", that label of "animal" must be a completely computer-created label. Not necessarily using the word "animal", or using any kind of identifier that humans would use. A completely artificial grouping, or domain, that is identified by the computer on its own, and maintained and stored as a potentially useful label for future use.
My only worry with the HCI community is that they seem to over-focus on beginners and prioritizing systems that are intuitive rather than powerful. I am absolutely not worried about whether they write proofs or not!

This might just be an issue of perception on my end, although it seems consistent with the HCI-conscious PL work I've seen.

Personally, I have two priorities in PL design: expressiveness and aesthetics. Both of these seem perfectly suited to a design-oriented approach. But are they a good fit with the sort of work regularly done in HCI? I genuinely don't know.
I think it's absolutely acceptable to ask for more references if you feel it's insufficient.

It's the same reason that posts on Gab are hatespeech while similar content on Twitter isn't.
Right, they are one of many social networks and forums that cater to niche audiences and I have no doubt that they will be successful by those standards but the parent means that it's unlikely that they will become a 'mainstream' social network.

Hardly. The case will be taken on at least partial contingency and likely financed by a litigation funding company.

Typosquatting and package signatures are separate issues. Package signing only prevents typosquatting insofar as either the user or some intermediate layer resolves the typo to the intended package. If someone was going to this effort, they'd probably go to the effort of double-checking the package name before installation anyway.

PyPi needs moderators to sit in the middle and remove anything that is obviously malicious, whether the packages are signed or not. Bad guys can sign packages just as easily as good guys.

Software should also be used to correct likely typos, perhaps including checking against a blacklist of known-bad package hashes, before the package is installed.

Yes, these approaches are imperfect, but they are better than doing nothing. "Perfect is the enemy of good".

You'll be able to report it, and have a reasonable chance of action being taken on it.

Well, most people don't have any investment training whatsoever. And by "any," I mean "literally nothing." It's not something you learn in school, and it's not something your parents teach you.
How >>Humans also learn from extremely small amounts of data. (Sometimes they learn badly, but they can change their minds, or not if they still manage to navigate the world.)
??

What does this mean? That 18 years of schooling is a "small amount of data"? Do you think you show 2 pictures of an airplane to a child and they know what an airplane is? Do you even have kids?
It depends. Some lawyers might be interested in tackling that "pro bono": Imagine having sued and won against Google in a high profile case that totally changes an industry, that would be a big plus for your resume

It's an alternative platform to Twitter, then. Does it mean Mastodon apps should be removed too?
It looks almost, but not quite, entirely unlike a MiG 25.
It's pretty trivial on Android. It just requires marking an option in the settings, and after this, you can download and open the application's APK to install it.
TV is social. Everyone is seeing it, which creates a whole world that can be talked about. As it is the world has too many +4 sigma cognitive skills (which will be partly IQ but also learned throughout life) with below-median social skills. It would be much, much more useful to have then be +3 sigma for cognitive skills and +1 sigma social skills.

Useful for them and useful for society.
That's an SNES game.
Ask HN: How do you think of ideas to surface data in new ways?
I currently have access to a large amount of interesting data. This data is already analyzed for some purposes and those metrics are used for any number of use cases.

However, I want to explore the data further and figure out a new way to look at it that is dissimilar from what we've already done, but I'm having trouble being creative.

Any suggestions?
It kicks in once the user visits a site 5 times. Nothing that really favors big sites.

Honest question here, does anyone else have no idea what font they are using in their text editor?

I use emacs, and don't have a clue as to what font I'm using. It's monospace, and that's about all that matters to me. As long as I can tell the difference between I, 1 and l - I really couldn't care less.
How can it get any easier than checking "Unknown Sources" in the security setting on Android?
That would have been a reasonable response to Apple's announcement. From what I can tell they will disable all autoplaying media in the upcoming version of Safari, including muted video.

The only thing Google won't let you do anymore is autoplay audio. I think most people agree that that's one of the things you should never ever do anyway. If you need audio, add a play button to your game/creative coding thing.
But, when you revise the model based an analyzing the predictions of the previous run and adapt to the positive result, isn't that supervised learning with back-propagation?
Gab's founder, the Trump-supporting Andrew Torba, was also kicked out of Y-Combinator's network. It was because, if not officially, probably also for his politics.

Recently a popular thread here discussed a child murderer whom had been admitted to Harvard, but they later renegged. Many people echoed the argument that: 'if someone isn't allowed to participate in society like a normal person, then why even let them out of prison, because it only otherwise encourages them towards crime?'

What should we do about people who are not allowed to participate in society like normal people, but have committed no crime? If we want to remain logically consistent, shouldn't we lock up the Trump supporters with the baby killers?
It's a shame that the gdipp renderer hasn't been updated in awhile. it looks so much better.
What you call "evolutionary algorithm" is just a pre-trained model your DNA created. That took 3.5 billion years to get to this point.
The 'hate speech' policy reads:

> We don't allow apps that advocate against groups of people based on their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Gab is simply a platform, like Twitter and Youtube. As well as a communication channel, like Whatsapp.

Without a doubt more 'hate speech' passes through Whatsapp and Twitter each day than appears on Gab's platform so it's hard not to see this as unjust and inequitable.
The Java performance was the most interesting part of the results for me. I'm glad it got some attention. I have been developing the opinion for awhile that, as an industry, we've become far too avoidant of "pre-mature" optimization. It is astonishing to me how much slower a lot of this stuff is than Java.

Granted, I also think considering Java to be "not compiled" is a slight misrepresentation since it does get compiled to Java bytecode.
Of course you need some objective function and feedback about how well you're doing wrt that. In RL this is true too. The feedback needed for backpropagation might be, for each action you take in life, what your chance of death is right after that action

(2009) Tim Bray on Being a Sharecropper
A well-designed permaculture system should exceed industrial farming if you are talking about productivity per square meter. The problem is that the amount of labor required is totally unsustainable to feed billions of people.

That's where I see smart technology playing a role. Industrial agriculture involved building farming techniques around the machinery we have available. We "just" need to invert that approach and build smart machinery that enables us to glean food from highly-productive ecosystems.
I find your statement confusing -- you appear to be attempting to argue that "let mutable" vs "let" would have no impact because "var" vs "val" has no impact. But you point out yourself that there's no cost to typing either in Scala... whereas there's a huge (in context) cost to typing "let mutable" vs "let. If you had to type "constant var foo =" vs "var foo =" (or similar) then presumably average Scala code would have quite a different distribution of mutable vs. immutable values.
Ah! then the passive looping is probably great for stimulating (un)conscious inspiration. Good luck with your PhD!
> there's a foundation which manages development,

There's not really a foundation that manages development - there's one that holds the trademark etc. but that's largely the extent of its activities and there are some geographical associations. The development is just managed by the community - there's a number of committers that technical authority to make decisions, there's the "core team" that resolves conflicts should they otherwise not be resolvable, release team, infrastructure team, ... but these are just people working together.

> ..., but there are a number of well established businesses offering commercial grade support. Some of these companies employ some of the major contributors to PostgreSQL.

Indeed, most of the active PG devs work for one of them.
This sort of stuff happened all the time when I worked in tech support for ad agencies. Printing font problems seemed to be 99% of the job, some days. PDFs helped — but only of the person making them remembered to embed the fonts. Usually you would simply make an EPS (encapsulated Postscript file), which would work most of the time — as long as the receiving printer had sufficient memory for huge print files. Can't tell you how many thousands of times art directors who should've known better would just send Quark or PageMaker or (later) InDesign files without the fonts. In fact, there were (are?) preflighting programs designed just to solve this exact problem. They'd look at your files and determine: Are your fonts there? Are your images there? How will this print? etc., etc.
Yeah, lots of people don't know or care. As long as it shows them what they need to see, they don't care, and that's 100% fine.

The article mentions a connection to obesity. "To what degree would a shift in the food system contribute to that? We can't really say.” I really wonder if this already a part of the worldwide obesity crisis.

More carbs/nutrition in the food leads to more calories/nutrition. So, on average, you would have to consume more calories to get all required macro and micro nutritions. The effect doesn't have to be big. Just a few more percent in calories consumed can lead to a large weight gain, compounded over many years.

I'm likely missing some important pieces on nutrition science but it's interesting to play with the numbers. The article says that the amount of 'important minerals' might drop by 8% in the future. Let's say it has already dropped by 5%. In order to get the same amount of minerals today, you have to eat about 5% more of the same food leading to about 5% more consumed calories. Let's say you would keep your current weight at 2500 kcal/day, but now you consume an extra 150 kcal/day. Assuming a weight gain of 1 kg/7700 kcal, this would lead to a weight gain of 150 kcal/day x 1 kg/7700 kcal x 365 days/year = 7 kg/year. Hence, a 1.65 m tall person starting with a weight of 60 kg (BMI = 22, normal weight) would be considered obese within a mere 3 years (81 kg, BMI = 30).

Of course, the increase in CO2 and subsequent drop in nutritions with a magnitude of 5% takes place over a longer time span than 3 years. But I still find it interesting, that apparently this effect could explain an enormous amount of the obesity puzzle. If, hypothetically, humans wouldn't have changed the composition of their diet or calorie expenditure at all, but their bodies are tuned to maintain a fixed amount of nutritions, the small drop in nutrition content alone could apparently explain a worldwide increase in obesity.

Seems like a pretty clickbait title.
But it's better to stretch your caloric intake over the day than have huge meals.

I'm trying to do a schedule of snack bars over the afternoon and a small lunch now, over wanting to eat enough at noon to last until 9-10 PM.
Hmm? Your comment pointed out that Gab is actually doing quite well: 2k customers paying $6/mo, a million in investment, six employees. If they can get their growth rate up to 5% per week, it would be a meteoric startup. It's a good observation.

Not so much like Twitch, IMO.

Patreon is purely for gathering a fanbase with open communication between fans and creators and the ability to share content in exchange for support of the creators.

So a musician might link to private music videos on youtube with the financial supporters on Patreon first. Or they might provide a special .mp3 that is only available there.

As far as I know, Patreon doesn't actually have the capability to host videos itself (I could be wrong since I haven't looked at it in a while).
I didn't say I didn't enjoy the interviews, I loved most of them where the interviewer was actually involved.

That being said, that's my point with interviews, if you don't trust something that the interviewer wrote on his CV (right 20 years experience and a history of successful products) then how can you decide to hire him or not after only a few hours of talking to him? You could have a bad day, he could have a bad day, it might happen that he knows exactly the question he has been asked or that he knows everything else EXCEPT that question. Usually it takes months of working next to someone to know how good he really is.
That could be the most interesting part of this case; if access to an appstore is essential for a service, can Google/Apple forever remain the "Default Providers" while still enforcing their own rules?

I have a feeling that the Internet Explorer default-browser antitrust fight will have to be had again, although gab might not get that far.
Here is what I don't get. If a company can IPO just for the sake of having a publicly tradable security, what is the big overhead for a large company. I am really starting to believe the only reason companies aren't IPO'ing isn't because its hard or expensive, but because they are getting stupid good deals from private investors to burn through cash.
They do. Just not in your neck of the woods.
