Hey, author here!

Totally agree, which is why I didn't feel so bad about deleting it from my system. It was more of a psychological barrier to do so I think, as it represented starting over :)
Although I have no idea how an interface for something like this would look, it does sound like an excellent idea! Could you suggest it here if it has't been suggested yet? https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues

I want to mention 2 of my all time favorite articles -

2. The Kekule Problem - http://nautil.us/issue/47/consciousness/the-kekul-problem

Both of them very thought provoking and excellent articles.

Hey

That's an interesting perspective. Personally I don't leave lines of commented out code as I opt for cleanliness, but I do keep a journal for each project I do where I write down little gotchas I discover, or paste in a snippet that either works well, or doesn't and the reasons why.
Yep, and what was extremist one year is not the next. It wasn't really that long ago McCarthyism made commmunism a thought crime. How can we seem to so easily forget that lesson?

I work in a large company and we've been trialing PTC/Thingworx. They have been painful to work with- I'm pushing that we move to a company that is more open. I'd be keen to hear other experiences and alternatives.
If someone is repeating watching beheading videos, engaging in terrorism forums, reading bomb-making instructions, and other such material, then I would rather prefer the police and the justice system to get involved. Better that than another terrorist attack that could have been stopped.

It saddens me that a rational move to prevent terrorism in its formative stages leads to such a knee-jerk negative reaction, with commenters ranting about "1984" and "infringing our civil liberties" and "leftist censorship" and other such overreacting nonsense.

I agree that Haskell is built around those concepts.
But the point of learning category theory is to change your mindset when programming.
And even in Javascript, it is super useful.

Is it overly harsh to be pissed at a company that claims to herald privacy but then sends your data to a third party?
I know they were struggling with a way to make this available to the users without being confusing. Making it an extension probably comes down to "we had no idea how to do that/only power users considered it useful, so an extension is a good compromise". In other words: if an extension is a good way to serve a significant part of a certain group of niche users (i.e. power users), they will probably properly maintain it but keep distributing it in this way.

Oh, and about the API: they already had quite a few API's that weren't available in Chrome (e.g. the sidebar API). It will be interesting to see whether/how much they will be able to get standardised, and if they are willing to make breaking changes to the API if the W3C desires those to be made.

Because path of the file is not determined by the user in all cases. This means the prosecutor will have to prove that the user deliberately stored it for later consumption.

For example, if a web browser has a semi-permanent cache by default for all pdf files, and the browser downloads a pdf to this cache, it's not possible to determine if the user "downloaded" it (ie. deliberately, to access later or repeatedly) or "streamed" it (ie. accidentally accessed it and closed it after viewing the content)

The fundamental issue is that politicians and the general public do not understand how software works. Many applications access and store data by default which the user has not implicitly asked them to do. If the law is determined so broadly, it can put any user with an application that accesses content without somehow validating that it is legal (how you do that without accessing it I do not know) into a grey area which the state can choose to exploit/prosecute with if needed.
As a member of an unrelated professional body, the buck always stops with me on issues of ethical behaviour. I don't care how much the CEO wants me to do a thing that is good for the bottom line - if I want to keep letters after my name I have to behave in a way that is in line with the professional code of conduct I signed up to.

I'm not saying that such a model is the right one for devs, but it would certainly be an interesting move away from "not my fault - nobody would let me do it right".

CEOs would, of course, then have the choice to hire non-accredited engineers to work on their software, and then the buck does stop there because they made an active decision.
I'm not sure many IT Engineers are professionals (as in members of a professional body that they have to answer to, with training, licensing and code of ethics etc)?

It's an unpopular view but I think this is a good start.

Why? Violence is supported and enabled by the narratives people use to justify it. Some element of policing & countering the narrative is going to control ideas that embolden people to commit crimes or to harm others.

It's really no different than saying the way we talk about women, or PoC, or gender, or sex helps constructs the reality of how we behave. A lot of people are already shouldering the burden of trying to police and counter how other people speak and think, but they are often not backed up by legislation in doing so.

Trying to stamp out the wrong ways people talk and think about other people is part of making a society that is more free and just.

I think actually in this case 1984 has the unfortunate chilling effect of making it so easy to equate any sort of control with dire, evil and illogical totalitarian government. It's the sort of "short circuited" thinking that i think impedes people actually thinking clearly or deeply or even at all about these things. In that sense, having neat metaphors from literature to reach for actually harms the public discourse, because it is silenced before it can start.

We do need to be talking about these things, and looking at them, not stereotyping and simplifying them, so I think a proposed piece of legislation is a good start and a sign that people are waking up to the importance of the stories we tell each other about who we are, and what's okay, in shaping and normalizing the culture and society we have.
That sounds rather arbitrary. In fact, most of the feature is implemented in browser code; what the extension does is expose a UI for it. "Lighter" isn't really properly defined, and it feels a bit like you're just principally opposed to code you don't personally use "being there", which I don't think is really productive if it doesn't really impact your use in another way.
It's not just the UK, this is the case for just about every western government, the US political system is definitely the eccentric here, if we are trying to find a global political centre, which is as close to an absolute as you are going to get.
No. I am just saying there is a difference that is often ignored in order to make people seem more guilty or untrustworthy.

Dunno, 1% of the world seem to hold 50% of the assets. That sounds like a pretty big impact to me.

Obviously, I'm assuming for the moment that billionaires aren't chronic tax avoiders, which makes every system regressive. If you decide to only concentrate on the proportion of the population that pays their fair share, you'd still have problems, because the average person who earns $200k doesn't spend much more than the guy earning $150k. They'd also receive the same basic income, so the burden would be higher on the guy earning $150k.
pretty cool. Especially this.

>Part 3 will start to dance the fine line between practical programming and academic absurdity. We'll look at comonads, f-algebras, free monads, yoneda, and other categorical constructs.

I myself like this - https://github.com/valentjedi/ddd-dynamic - but I'm beginning to think maybe all of this is not the right paradigm for programming in languages like javascript or python. The success of tools like React or RxJava in Android makes me think that the tools define the paradigm and not the other way around... no matter how much we want it to be.
I find that to be a bit extreme. Better not read it anyone ;)
Like sibling, I also mapped capslock to control. I use ^[ instead of ESC and there are other control-<whatever> shortcuts that are extremely useful, so it gets more utility than ESC would.

We've also seen an increase in racially motivated violence by Muslims such as the Ariana Grande concert and the London Bridge attack.

There have also been plenty of violent demonstration by left wing groups, so much so that a BBC reporter had to have a bodyguard at the Labour conference.

Finally, anti-semitism seems to be as much a thing on the left as the extreme right these days, as shown by the anti-Semitism at the Labour conference.
Ask HN: Do you use a Chromebook or Pixelbook as your primary machine?
I love the design on the new pixelbook - https://store.google.com/us/product/google_pixelbook but I have a hard time believing that its of any use for a developer or even a remote power user. Does anyone have any experience using it as their primary machine and for what purposes ?
The equivalent feature you're probably looking for is Profiles, which have been in Firefox for ages already :) It's pretty similar to Chrome's. See about:profiles.

I remain comfortable describing that as not an "actual" constitution as most people would understand it.

> This makes it difficult to work

That's circular. By definition a constitutional crisis is difficult to predict the outcome of, or it wouldn't be a crisis. The Americans also seem to have plenty of difficulty working out the application of their constitution.

The UK parliament retains ultimate authority, and I've not seen any sensible argument to suggest otherwise...

> above Parliament

Ah, an excellent and interesting question, but in practice: parliament is able to withdraw from the jurisdiction of ECHR. Because it's sovereign. I will happily agree ECHR has been a massive win for the UK, but it's easily argued that in practice parliament has simply chosen to delegate some of its power to ECHR, as they maintain the authority to withdraw from it.

The real oppression is terrorist attacks that leave people in fear of their safety.

This is not how an assembly programmer sees this problem.
(memcpy is often hand coded in assembly).

This means the code takes advantage of CPU pipelines and branch predictions, which means the source/destination pointer might be de-referenced and loaded into a register before the number of bytes is being inspected, or the assembly is executed with a 0 value, which still makes the CPU do a load or store on the src or dest pointer. This is being done to gain performance, and doing things in another order or explicitly validating the input decreases performance.

If then the src/dest pointer is NULL, the above scenario plays out badly, but in order to not sacrifice performance, the burden is placed on the caller to correctly use memcpy() instead of memcpy() detecting invalid use.
Alternatively, map caps lock to control and use Ctrl-C or Ctrl-[ instead of escape. That way, you can also easily type any other Ctrl+whatever shortcut too, which IMHO is a bigger win than just escape, especially when Ctrl-[ is so super easy to type then.

Every month goes by and the hood in Chicago kills more people than died in Las Vegas, and no one says anything about gun control. Probably because most of the people in the hood already have illegal guns.

Anyways it is very rare to die by illegitimate gunfire (not from the state). You are more likely to die in falls, slips, choking, drowning, cars, motorcycles... The list is never ending.

In the West we are conditioned to be terrified of guns and terrorists, but it is incredibly rare to die of either, especially if you stay out the hood.

Why not campaign against something that kills more people but which doesn't serve an arguably necessary purpose? Why try to jump for one of the highest and most questionable fruits on the tree?

They are mostly games played with mouse+kb, so an arcade cabinet ain't the first choice for genres like that.

Tho I wouldn't be too surprised to see an arcade like this in the Asian region. Online Multiplayer (not massive but with quite a few players) also made it's way to the arcade, complete with your own profile on a storage device so you can take it along to different arcade venues.

At shows like PAX there's usually a special section/event just for arcades, which has also become a rather experimental sector showing off arcade games like Killer Queen.
It's a really diverse space, the issue being that only very little of it bubbles up to the "mainstream".

Why do all these features of a colony need to be part of the same thing?

I see
1. Reputation
2. Governance based on reputation
3. Division of labor
4. Team membership
5. Organizational ownership
6. Dispute resolution

It is not obvious what this particular set of organizational features is necessary or sufficient for. Even worse there are likely many different ways of implementing them and it is not obvious how implementation details will affect resulting organizational dynamics. A better approach would be a modular organizational design with different plug-ins that satisfy different organizational requirements. This would allow organizations to choose their rules and to innovate instead of having to pick up a complex model of organization off of a shelf. A modular design would let you start small, build a minimum set of requirements to power some organizations and then scale up the complexity from there.

Integrating with arrow is on our bucket list as well.
We plan on integrating with their tensor data type and format.

I feel like you're trying to cross 2 worlds that shouldn't be for arrow/ONNX though. You're trying to map a neural net description language to a columnar format..that doesn't make any sense to me. In our case, our runtime will understand both but for different reasons though.

We will import the format for our neural nets and integrate with arrow for our ETL -> tensor pipelines.

Then disable telemetry, it's exactly the same thing.
It is likely that a close neighbor will have similar soil, but differences in home construction can have enough of an impact on radon exposure that you can't quite treat a neighbor's level as an indicator as your own. Think of it like groundwater, if the water table is high enough then both of you have an equivalent risk of seepage and leaking into your cellar, but how those cellars or foundation slabs are constructed also has a big impact. If this is a cookie-cutter suburban development where all the houses were built using the same materials and same basic plan then they will probably have similar radon levels, but if houses were built at different times or by different companies at the same time all bets are off.
I would like to chime in favor of python. The ecosystem is just too biased towards python to try and jump in anything else.

Well, through Five Eyes and other partnerships, this would be enforced with the US's cooperation and support.

You have a point though, so I edited my comment.
I was a bit disappointed at the string api in swift4 recently. They removed the need to access characters every time, but they kept the Index type, which adds an intermediate step every time you want to build a range, without providing any more safety than just using integers: it still crashes on index out of bounds, so you still need to manually bound check, only you have to compare to startIndex and endIndex.

I still don’t get the benefit..
