I think the light theme feels much more 'native' on macOS, especially in Nightly where they've added the same 'vibrancy' effects they use on the standard theme[1]. That said, a few things like the Photon-style menus and the lack of bouncy scrolling make it feel a little out of place.

I mentioned this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15700403 regarding the 12" Macbook, but I'm baffled by the size of the trackpads on the new laptops. What's the point of having trackpads that large? It seems only to impair usability.
I'm not a statistician, but the results section is worth reading -- the fructan results are not much higher than placebo but both placebo and fructan are more affective than gluten.

"Overall GSRS-IBS scores differed significantly during gluten, fructan, and placebo challenges; mean values were 33.1±13.3, 38.6±12.3, and 34.3±13.9, respectively (P = .04). Mean scores for GSRS bloating were 9.3±3.5, 11.6±3.5, and 10.1±3.7, respectively, during the gluten, fructan, and placebo challenges (P = .004). The overall GSRS-IBS score for participants consuming fructans was significantly higher than for participants consuming gluten (P = .049), as was the GSRS bloating score (P = .003). Thirteen participants had the highest overall GSRS-IBS score after consuming gluten, 24 had the highest score after consuming fructan, and 22 had the highest score after consuming placebo. There was no difference in GSRS-IBS scores between gluten and placebo groups."
clang/llvm makes the gcc developers look like amateurs when it comes to reckless optimizations for that extra percent in the synthetic benchmark. My goto approach for when something breaks in clang but works in gcc is to disable optimization, and when I can narrow it down to a single offending function, that gets optnone slapped on it and done.
When using a new version of a compiler, and existing code stops working, it is often a compiler error. When different compilers give different results, it is often a compiler error.

I've hit dozens or hundreds of these, across many languages for decades.

It's not the first thing to check, but once you verify the code is logically correct, that can be the only conclusion.

Compilers aren't excessively complex code, but all code has bugs.

The ‘shoulder’ indicated by an asterisk is not an indel, as it is also present in the control sample; it is probably due to incomplete 3´ A nucleotide addition to the IDAA amplicon (see Table 3, Step 21)."

So they do see mutations in the control cells but decided to call it some kind of artefact. BTW, I also see a less shoulder in the left (on-target) site of the same figure.

The point is that these mutants pre-exist in low frequencies of 1/100 to 1/100,000 cells (depends on cell type, environment, etc), almost regardless of the target site. If you look at enough cells you are guaranteed to find one with an indel at any site. In those cases, just as cas-9 doesn't just keep re-editing the dna after the target sequence has been cut, the cells are relatively "immune" to it.

So for figure 7 they started with 50k cells, the questions are:

1) How many of those cells already contained a mutation at the target site?

2) What was the growth curve of the cells after treatment?

3) What is the division rate of these cells under these conditions?

4) What is the death rate of these cells under these conditions?

5) How many cells were there in the end for final analysis (sequencing, whatever)?

My experience with Twitter API has been horrible to say the least. Plenty of API errors, service over capacity, and instability. So now I have to pay to get access to an API that's stable?

Step 1 - build a product. make sure it has lots of bugs and is unstable.

Step 2 - roll out a premium product that's the same product, just stable, and less buggy.

Profit.

How is charging for an API not a finger to the developer community? Facebook for example doesn't charge for their API access. They charge for the products that the API has access to. If I have access to a product, I shouldn't need to be charged for the APIs to access that product
"The important aspect for me is that the uploaded entity will love the same people, principles, and things that I do. After it buries me, it can still look after my family."

Would you reall want this creature to have anything to do with your family, though?

Think about it: here's this newly created entity thinking it's you.. maybe even thinking it's more you than you are, thinking it's your parents' child just as much or more than you are. Even though it may have your memories, it was never actually born from your parents, your parents never brought it up, it never actually shared any of the experiences with your parents that it has copies of in its memory.

I would find it kind of creepy for that thing to be hanging out with my parents, talking to them, and pretending it's me. I mean, if it say, merely helped my parents financially, I wouldn't have a problem with that any more than I would with having an insurance agency that contributed to my parents welfare after I died, but we're not really talking about that but about a relationship between this thing and my parents.

Here's another example. How many people do you think would be ok with a copy of themselves sleeping with their wives, or spending time with their kids and having the kids potentially become more attached to the copy than to the original? If the copy really was them -- really was "their soul", there should be no jealousy, as you can't be jealous of yourself. Yet there probably would be jealousy in a lot of cases, because they're actually two different people.

Yes, sorry we annoyed you with not wanting existing view-layer functionality to be irreversibly broken. Especially given FF's policy of "no, we're not making it easy to revert. Ever."

"The compiler did not have a bug. The compiler never had a bug. The bug was always in the programmer's code and usually in their understanding of the language... It was caused by a misunderstanding of the way arguments to unprototyped functions were automatically promoted..." - I'd say the bug is neither in the compiler nor in their understanding of the language but in the language itself then. Why on Earth do we need a language that we can't use safely without "understanding of the way arguments to unprototyped functions are automatically promoted"? IMHO the number-one principle to be followed in every sane language design is the "principle of least surprise" (POLA). If the language can surprise you easily and lets you write weird code that is going to work a way different from what one will probably assume intuitively - that's a language made wrong.
This was my thoughts too. The values appear to be fairly similar for all three, especially given the large variations.

Not to mention that they're explicitly trialling this with people "for whom celiac disease had been excluded". So an alternate conclusion could be "people without celiac disease but with self reported gut issues don't respond significantly differently to fructan, gluten, and placebo". Which is... not surprising?

I wish FF performance was as good as it is on Windows.

As much as I want to like Mozilla, even with Quantum, there's pretty much no hardware acceleration at all, missing out on potentially big performance benefits.

As others mentioned, e.g. VDPAU has been available for a long time now and there's no excuse for not taking advantage of GPU acceleration.

Now contrast this to evil Google and Chrome.

> For the statement to hold true, AP systems would have to fail just as often as CP systems.

I think all that would need to be true is that there exists one CP system that has uptime figures comparable to AP systems. Then you could say that targeting AP is pointless, when you could either just use that system; or engineer your own new CP system to do the same things to achieve uptime as that system.

What do you find constraining with 16:9? It's got more wasted space than 4:3 when you're working with a single window I guess, but who seriously works with just one open window?

Maybe I'm having trouble envisioning a modern 4:3 screen, since the only ones I have for reference are a couple old 19" ones I've got lying around but I can't imagine I would comfortably be able to have 3 vertically split files open on a screen e.g.
4:3 came first. Televisions mimicked the movies. Then the movies went wide screen.

It's hard to find books about ethical behavior, except maybe good behavior in extremis. Man bites dog is a story, not the other way 'round, after all. And "dog nicely licks hand" is certainly not a story. I have a lot of books, and I wonder if I could find five that don't discuss unethical behavior if only as counterexample illustrations. Certainly no novels that don't.

Among the best though: Barbarians at the Gate, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, most books concerning the history of medicine and any Trump biography published after he leaves office, no doubt. Any Jobs biography. The story of NeXT - his European head committed fraud that brought the company down.

Years ago I read an excellent biography of John D. MacArthur, the Insurance giant that would suit you well. Famous now for the "Genius Grants" given out by the MacArthur Fellows Program. John D. Rockefeller (who would argue his own virtues, of course.) Wolf of Wall Street.

> The smart person who is born poor or a minority will do just fine as their grades will carry them.

Spoken exactly like someone who was not poor and not a minority.

Being poor creates a network effect of issues that can keep VERY smart kids down for a long time. Being poor and having all of your relatives be poor too means you have no mentor network and very few ways out. Being poor with poor parents that are working three jobs just to afford food and shelter or aren’t working because they’ve given up (or were given up on) means that your most direct line of support is pretty much absent and that you are on your own. Very few kids make it out of this situation.

It is a very hard problem to fix.

If you WERE poor and a minority and are saying this, then you should DEFINITELY know that you were an aberration.

> nothing left to do is incorrect behavior on the part of the compiler

But it's not though. By this token failing to optimize anything could be considered incorrect behavior. Obviously not turning on optimizations makes your program take longer and use more memory. When a function call is made its variables are pushed onto the stack and popped when the function returns. Doing something different when the compiler detects certain properties of your code is the definition of an optimization that at least in theory shouldn't be relied on to produce correct code.

A more correct design, I think, would be having a 'replace' keyword for function calls instead of return that causes it to replace the stack of the caller. Then the behavior is no longer an optimization but behavior. Now you have the best of both worlds. The compiler can even warn you about when you might want to use replace rather than return.
