In many cases the function passed in will not make any sense outside of the context in which it is used.

For example, consider:

const kittenNames = cats.flatMap(cat => cat.kittens)
.map(kitten => kitten.name);

Oh the nostalgia. The year was 1994 and I was a sophomore in high school. I downloaded Netscape via an FTP connection on my Macintosh LCIII. I opened it up and um, where do I go? What do I do?

All webpages were text like this at the time. I feel like it was efficient. You brought up a page and you read it. Now-a-days, for me, excessive graphics and bright colors distract from the content of the page.

No, it shouldn't. This is the problem with just saying 'the market will fix it'. The market will fix it for rich white able-bodied men and basically nobody else.

Hi everyone, I'm one of the core contributors to Dat, @joeahand. Happy to answer any questions. It's an interesting time to see this posted because I've been working on a new datproject.org site recently =).

Dat Project started with a focus on increasing access to research & public data. To support the data tools we built a peer-to-peer protocol. People are doing some really cool stuff on top of Dat (such as Beaker Browser), we're really excited about it and want to make sure to support all the neat use cases.

We'll be launching an updated site soon to highlight more of the work around the protocol and what the community is building. Our main use case will still be data management but most of what you see on the current site will shift to a new domain.
This makes sense. I really only need one of my guns to stop a home invasion.

If I'm interpreting the javascript properly, it looks like it breaks the back button by forcing you to the top of the page.
Actually, the you need to add dl=1 to the params to start a download and skip the webplayer on the links (at least in my browser), which is non-obvious until you compare to a download link on the page, not in RSS.

It was not very long ago that we got facts that we agreed upon from relatively centralized media. This is no longer the case.

When you cannot agree about the facts, you have little basis for discussion and productive disagreement about the interpretation of those facts. We are no longer having disagreements about values, but instead fighting about what we perceive to be the facts.

I've added a modification that removes any margin at the top:

#TabsToolbar, #sidebar-header {
visibility: collapse !important;
}

#TabsToolbar {
margin-bottom: -21px !important;
}

Then go to the hamburger menu > Customization and check "Title Bar" at the bottom left. Then it pretty much looks like FF 56.

I've also changed the style of TSTs in the add-on settings (all the way at the bottom; not in userChrome.css) such that the tabs don't take up as much vertical space and to hide the close box button (and only show it on the mouse-over event):

.closebox {
display: none
}

.tab:hover .closebox {
display: block;
}

.tab {
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
}

You can make `.tab` even tighter:

.tab .icon {
padding-top: 2px; /* reducing it by 2px */
padding-bottom: 2px;
}

:root {
--tab-height: 22px; /* reducing it by 4px */
}

I dunno, I think the container format sounds pretty reasonable, at least at a high level (I haven’t tried to implement it or anything). Many of those features [choice of lossy or lossless compression; extensible embedded metadata; multiple images per file; animation; transparency; embedded thumbnail; non-destructive indication of preferred crop/rotation; choice of color spaces and bit depth; ...] are extremely useful, but currently are only supported (in conjunction) by completely proprietary app-specific formats like PSD or the like.

I can imagine at least a dozen use cases for this format that current formats don’t serve at all.
> But, the whole of his complaint rests on this deficiency. It's not possible to constructively disagree with someone who is unwilling to acknowledge basic facts, or who promotes an alternate reality.

This really needs to be emphasized--if you cannot agree on what the facts are, you will never come to a real conclusion. This is something the article completely glosses over. However, I also I think there's also something beneath just agreeing on what constitutes facts that is equally important, which is a (roughly) shared value system.

The old, "liberally educated" world that the author references the death of in the 1960s (i.e. "Closing of the American Mind") was one of shared values--largely white, protestant values. What replaced it was a different value system--I've seen it called the "meritocratic" value system, or similar--which had fundamentally different core values, and was/is dominant among American conservatives and liberals until recently.

Currently, the furthest left and furthest right often don't agree on core values. On the left, I think almost any argument that uses a variation on "(holy text) said so" can be dismissed off-hand as an unconvincing argument when you're talking about things beyond your own personal behavior--however, my Mormon relatives feel quite differently. This gets uglier and further away from the mainstream when you start to dig into some of the belief systems that groups on the alt-right propose (simplifying, but often things like "only white people have intrinsic value"), as opposed to the mainstream belief systems of the last ~40 years ("all people have intrinsic value"). Similarly on the far left, I've seen a lot of disagreement with other things that I'd hold up as mainstream values of the last 40 years (such as "competition between independent actors leads to good outcomes for consumers*").

Disagreements when fundamental values differ will put any argument on hold before it gets started, and I expect the only real outcome is things that devolve into shouting matches, or worse. And from what I've seen, the range of acceptable values has widened dramatically in the last 15 years--I'm curious to see if this winds up coalescing into a new set of mainstream values after a while, or if things like the structure of the internet/"filter bubbles"/increased ideological splits will mark the end of an ideological "mainstream" as it used to exist.

The link to the article with the comparison doesn't work to me. Often what I find in these articles is that the second implementation takes much less time and has less code and fewer bugs primarily because of the lessons learned the first time round. It has almost nothing to do with the language of implementation.
I wish they'd stop referring to them as sonic attacks--I think the perception of sonic disturbance is a side effect of something else.
Thanks for your salient comment. I also reached the conclusion you did in your second paragraph.

Does this mean that most policy debates boil down to philosophical ones, trying to convince the other person to change their value(s)? First we must agree on a set of values, then we do research to find the best way of living by those values. We must sometimes acknowledge that these facts do not yet exist, and so we can't resolve our disagreement until that research is done.

I suppose if two people have the same value (e.g. immigrants have substantial moral worth), they can still disagree on how best to help them. If the data turns out that immigration makes everyone worse off, are we forced to bar them entry? It seems at odds with my moral compass, which leads to a muddled area of bending facts to appease moral codes. If you're available I would love to pick your thoughts on this.
They do exist but the point raised is that for the laser microphone to induce the effects reported the laser would have to contain enough energy such that the laser would instead be so powerful that it vaporized any glass surface it was pointed at and overheat the laser source.
Some people may say that the Virginia v. Black, which allowed the state to ban "burning a cross with the intent of intimidating any person or group of persons", allows the state to make "hate speech" illegal. A person who believes that might say that cross burning is "hate speech" but not a "true threat", which is what the court called it. That person would presumably then believe that some "hate speech" can be made illegal in the US, and may still be illegal in Virginia.
This is what I'm curious about too. It doesn't say what the 20 hours of training entails or what additional material will be learned in 35 hours. Focusing on hours in general sounds really dumb. Why not focus on content? Define what drivers need to know regardless of how long the training takes. That allows Uber to produce better and better training materials that shortens the number of hours while still satisfying the reason the requirement for training exists in the first place.

Are we talking about this Charles Murray?

"A huge number of well-meaning whites fear that they are closet racists, and this book tells them they are not. It's going to make them feel better about things they already think but do not know how to say.”
—regarding his book, Losing Ground, quoted in “Daring Research or Social Science Pornography?: Charles Murray,” The New York Times Magazine, 1994

“The professional consensus is that the United States has experienced dysgenic pressures throughout either most of the century (the optimists) or all of the century (the pessimists). Women of all races and ethnic groups follow this pattern in similar fashion. There is some evidence that blacks and Latinos are experiencing even more severe dysgenic pressures than whites, which could lead to further divergence between whites and other groups in future generations.”
—The Bell Curve, 1994
The issue, of course, is to define hate speech.

Most speakers being "no-platformed" on American campuses these days absolutely do not "encourage violence towards specific groups of people".

It seems sufficient that they challenge prevailing viewpoints to be shouted down.

There's this totalitarian attempt at labelling any disagreement as "micro-aggressive", to equate it to hate speech that must be suppressed. But none of that remotely reaches the threshold for legally defined hate speech in most countries. It's even usually completely orthogonal to that scale.
That’s interesting; do you have a reference where I can read more about this?
I was branded as a genocidal hater when pointing out that no, the IPCC does not anticipate tens of meters of sea rises in a discussion.

I am an ecologist. I am worried about climate change and peak oil. I routinely contradict other ecologist, whose positions I am close to, when they use wrong facts as arguments.

It is ok to dismiss someone as useless in a debate but it should NEVER be because of the conclusions they reach. It should be because of the methodology they use.

And in my experience, as part of a skeptic group, it is often worthwhile to patiently and gently, explain methodology errors to your interlocutor. It may serve them or your audience.

Yeah, while I can understand Apple picking up HEVC, this image format makes very little sense to me.

Outside of Apple I can't see this have any uptake due to being patent/royalty laden, which means that images you encode using this format need to be reencoded again (and degraded in case of lossy, which is the most common type) in order to be shown on the web or on other operating systems/devices.
I'm one of the creators of the Beaker browser[1] and the reason we use Dat is that as a p2p protocol, it offers a lot of neat properties, including making datasets more resilient. As long as one peer on the network is hosting a dataset, it will be reachable, even if the original author has stopped hosting it.

I won't speak authoritatively on behalf of the Dat team, but I believe one of their goals is to make it difficult for public scientific datasets to be lost, and data living on a centralized server is particularly vulnerable to that.

The assumption I've seen is that this was some sort of eaves-dropping attempt gone awry but why would it occur during the target's sleep when eavesdropping is likely useless unless all the targets talk in their sleep about state secrets?

Yup, but it's different from the UI thread which is what counts for me.

For what it's worth unless you're on Vulkan(which few Android devices support) you're going to be limited to a single dispatch thread by GLES' threading semantics anyway.

I still rest my point that they're doing layout, which is fine but doesn't consist of multi-threaded rendering. Using their approach they're still going to have to set some sort of absolute layout views which must go through a measure and layout pass on the UI thread.
It sounds like this was tweeted to quiet the peanut gallery.

Over the last year, I've been exposed to a lot of the nitty gritty of the SMS and carrier world and I was surprised to learn how at scale competition for SMS volume is insane and extremely complex aggregators and the commercial arrangements seemingly incestuous.

The cost savings of easy integration and the appeal of a strong developer ecosystem are less and less attractive as the volume of SMS being managed make the marginal cost savings of going with a direct relationship with Amdocs, Syniverse etc....

It may be that hearing impairment is only one, and/or the first noticeable, effect of whatever is happening in Cuba.

In analogy to the way damage due to CTE can manifest long after the injury, I'd be concerned about problems that might take longer to surface. The whole thing is quite weird.

(edit to add: It's not clear that ability to hear is a necessary condition for the observed damage. It might simply be a consequence, not a prerequisite for damage.)
Ah cool! I hadn't seen quilt before. You are spot on with the differences.

Dat is targeting similar users to Quilt. But we are also looking more broadly at libraries, labs, or other larger academic/gov't organizations managing data. There are a lot of data publishing tools in the sciences such as Zenodo. We'd love for it to be easier to download/publish data to those places. Dat is decentralized, so it really fits well in integrating other data tools.

You can use Dat to replace file transfer software like rsync, so it is a bit more general purpose.

Another difference not mentioned is that Dat really starts at the protocol level while Quilt is more software-focused. Dat protocol is a peer-to-peer protocol for syncing files, modeled off Git and BitTorrent. We built the data management software on top of the protocol.

Edit: I should mention we don't offer any hosting right now, all the data up there is temporarily cached. There is public hosting via Hashbase[1] from the Beaker team. The cool part about Dat being p2p is that it's really easy to switch hosts or use multiple hosts.

Off-by-one pixel stuff is not surprising in world where your API deals explicitly with individual pixels. Newer systems are a bit simpler here because they treat the screen as continuous plane that only gets mapped to pixels at the last moment.

The flip side is that you have to worry about weird aliasing (or anti-aliasing!) artifacts, such as black lines turning grey.

Counting subscribers, T-Mobile + Sprint is still in third place behind Verizon and AT&T.

If the landscape wasn't competitive in 2011, then why were there no efforts by the administration to break up the duopoly?

It seems if you want competition, and you don't want a real third competitor, the answer is breaking up the big two. Why wasn't that a thing? It's almost like the duopoly was concern trolling about competition to block competition to their duopoly.

For some background here, ATT claimed for decades that there was no reasonable way they could provide cheap local phone calls unless they were given a monopoly whereby they could charge super expensive prices for long distance calls to make up the difference.

The founder of MCI (the M stood for Microwave) realized that by using Microwave Relay Towers, he could earn enough profit to pay for a set of towers between Chicago and St. Louis WITHIN EIGHT HOURS assuming a start time of 7:00 am.

That realization, and his outmaneuvering of the FCC, was the beginning of the end for ATT. Ironically today MCI is owned by Verizon.
