I've seen stuff debunked by Snopes ECT so I link to Snopes to show my friend that what they shared was fake news, only to see him share the same link next week. He claimed he did not read the article but it agreed with his political views so it must be true.

I've seen fake Twitter tweets as well that have bad spelling and other stuff in them that it is obviously a fake tweet made by some website fake tweet generators out there. Then shared on Facebook as an uploaded image. If they don't link to the original tweet on Twitter consider it a fake tweet.

What I don't really understand about this is, why is anybody concerned with fake accounts and followers outside of ad companies? (Disregard now the possible public opinion influencing use of huge fake account networks, I can't even see this argument against bot accounts in this article.) As I see it, both bot account sellers/maintainers and celebrities profit from this, only the ad companies can lose when their business partners realize that they get fake visibility for their money and decide not to give money for this. Of course this would in turn eliminate the sponsorships of accounts and thus the buying of fake followers. So I guess I don't really get why this industry exists in the first place...
This is a really good question! Maybe they should ditch them and give greater visual importance to subs?

Do you mean ptrace? One of the advantages of eBPF is that it runs in the kernel so you don't need to context switch to another user space process. A number of syscalls are significantly cheaper than a user space context switch. The rr debugger[0], which needs to process all syscalls, uses an eBPF based filter to select certain simple syscalls for in-process handling and avoid context switching through ptrace.

True, but the question isn't whether there is risk, but whether it's acceptable. How does it compare to other risks we accept? We let people smoke outside where others walk by, or eat peanuts in public while some others are quite allergic, to name just two.

On this topic when I was an academic a few years ago I had one of my undergraduate student project groups go through an entire year of Cancer Research (one of the highest ranked cancer journals) from 10 years previously and have them find out what happened to the work published. Rather depressingly the vast majority went nowhere and when my students contacted the PIs to find out why most of the time it was for totally non-scientific reasons like the group lost funding or someone left.
Usually when you study/work on an university, you get an email address with the university domain (e.g. jorge@mit.edu).

Those are used in many places as a simple way to validate that you are a student or a researcher.
Why did Larry Lessig not find more support amongst the tech billionaire crowd?

Cynically, because both the current system in general and the current administration in particular is perfect for billionaires. They have everything they could ever want, so why risk that? Don't fix what ain't broken.
I don't think so.

For your argument to hold, the Dutch (or Danish or Germans) should be perceived as more polite when speaking English, yet they aren't.

Either this or they all speak bad English (which is unlikely due to speaking other Germanic languages and getting 50% of their colloquial American English via Netflix and/or Hollywood)

What is the refresh rate and latency?

I have two monitors on my desk, One of them has a very high resolution, but with noticeably higher latency than the other.

When using the high resolution / high-latency display, I notice that I start to feel more clumsy, frustrated and stressed, so (despite all of the gorgeous pixels), I tend to use it just as a 'side display' for static documents and reference material ...

I think latency could be a critical factor here.

Thank you - There are a few of reasons.

(1) the thumbnails indicate that the PDF is available and can be downloaded. This is to promote submissions from pre-print servers and open access journals that make their research readily available. If the PDF is behind a paywall there will not be a thumbnail.

(2) the behavior of the site differs slightly from HN and Reddit. Clicking the title link of a publication takes you to be comment page, whereas the thumbnail takes you to the PDF. Open to hearing what people think about this, but the thumbnail image replaces the title link.

(3) the thumbnails do tend to look similar - but you can often tell what journal it is in and you can recognize familiar papers from it. I like it when authors put figures up front too which some of the ML paper do and which adds some variety.

Current GPU implementations often support multiple arbitrary "framebuffers" layered on top of each other. Similar to hardware sprites from 8/16-bit era or like more recent hardware "mouse cursor". With the exception they can cover whole screen.

So you can have multiple framebuffers in the same time with arbitrary color formats (like 8-bit grayscale, 16/32-bit (A)RGB, YUV2, etc.). Bilinear scaling, alpha-blending and mirroring/90/180/270 degree rotations are often supported as well.

It's important to understand these framebuffers are not composited anywhere else, but are actually scanned to the display device in real time, on the fly.

Traditional framebuffer can of course be emulated by setting a single layer to cover full screen without alpha-blending.

I only know 3 Dutch people. 2 are polite, intelligent, reliable and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The other is a complete asshole.

Guess which of them lives by the mantra of being 'as direct as they want'?
For 99.99% of websites and apps Grid is ideal for layout. There might be things that still need to work in browsers that are too old to support it, but they're not useful when it comes to discussions about how to build websites.

Some web developers out there are still supporting ActiveX components that no one is willing to replace. I don't think anyone would advocate building a new site using ActiveX though. At some point we have to move forward and adopt new technologies that improve the way things are built. We're at a point in web dev where Grid is ready for mainstream use.
To the Americans - you guys are very direct too, in my experience (compared to the Irish and English), perhaps that's why you haven't noticed it in the Netherlands?
That’s my background (:

I hope this will work out for humans as well. Wondering if we can have something for diabetes as well, it seems to be affecting a large portion of the population and growing rapidly.
It has been asserted by adherents to certain political groups that their voices are being suppressed by the establishment. E.g the alt right. If that is true and the article's premise is true, "Dutch people have the right to say whatever they want and be as direct as they want. And if other people don’t like that, it’s their fault for getting offended." then it must be so that open support for alt right is much stronger than in the Netherlands than in Britain.

But alt right is (afaik) much stronger in Britain than in the Netherlands. It follows that Dutch people either aren't as direct as the article claims or that alt right sentiment isn't being suppressed.
Great story. What was that startup oriented fan pages you mentioned?

I've played with both, and my vote definitely goes to Tailwind.

Tachyons popularised the concept of functional CSS, but it's very hard to customize (a lot of copy/paste, custom cli tool to recompile), whereas Tailwind has a per-project configuration file for colors, breakpoints, etc. and you can build components out of their CSS primitives (if you use PostCSS).

I wondered this while reading the article. Do we really need the same language for commands & for programming? Portability is nice, but it seems like the requirements are a bit different for one-liners vs scripts you need to maintain.
Maybe I just don't have your problems, but I'm still not seeing this as much of an issue at all.

Surely problems are always personal, this all did start with the term "pet peeve".

For me, one of the peeves that comes back over and over is indeed that it seems that's near impossible to write a separation between the API and the implementation in C++ that is clean and beautiful. That's one of the first things in any project, drafting out the interfaces. And things get ugly quick there.

There are others but I drafted this particular case as an example that you requested. I don't want to go too deep into the discussion here but I'll reply to the two points below:

1) Exposing fields and functions under the private label is just a matter of principle. It doesn't matter if the private parts cannot technically be used outside the class: it still means there is information in the public API that shouldn't have to be there in the first place. That's just a stupid restriction of quirky language. A header file is mainly about the interface and its documentation: the last thing I want in it is to have cluttering bits of internal crap there only to be skipped over.

I could also cram all the code in a single source file and use global variables because hey, it can be made to work and it's easier to write a linker that way. The same applies with the public interface issue here.

2) Check back my C header file again. The struct layout is only visible to the implementation. As long as the ABI stays the same we can even use a different compiler to build the private implementation into a binary and the interface still works with all existing code.

Yet this is still about the fact that the private bits do not have to be visible to the public, just the implementation. So the language that forces me to do just that for the sake of convenience for the language designer and compiler writers is just plain stupid.

Let’s try?

You’re intellectually lazy and oversimplifying a complex issue. You likely either lack social awareness or have a total lack of understanding of how minorities are bullied and made to feel worthless (because your views are so bland as to cause no offense, and you are not a member of any minority).
I spend a lot of time talking about engineering problems, the word 'failure' now means something very specific to me. It means 'didn't work as intended'. If my cup leaks a bit, that is failure. Often things fail for very good reasons.

That is really, really different from what failure means in everyday English, which is much closer to 'somebody didn't succeed due to a neglect of duty'. I usually regret the times I use the word failure in conversation, because in my head it has come to mean something that is really quite mild. I typically can't convey that to a normal listener if I reflexively slip it into a conversation.

Maybe a literal translation from another language loses subtlety and becomes harsher following a similar principle? Each word has a range of meanings, and the closest word in a different language won't ever quite cover the same ground.
In 2 cases, I certainly hope so. With the other guy, I couldn't care less.

This is a direct translation of the Dutch "wat wilt u hebben?" which is in fact rather polite. The above anecdote is just a case of a waiter who hasn't yet learned the nuances of English ("What do you want?" is something you'd say to someone bothering you)

I'd say this is true.

This paragraph conflates being a decent and considerate human being with being direct. We (the Dutch) could do the former better, there's no excuse for being loud or noisy on a train and it has nothing to do with being direct.

> “You sit in a restaurant with a friend and they will happily, in a room full of strangers, talk quite loudly about their medical problems or their parents’ divorce or their love life.

I'd say this is true, I do this. I don't care what people around me think about me (but I do go out of my way not to inconvenience people.

I'm listening to music or half-watching twitch whilst scrolling through Netflix to decide what I'll watch with supper. It's incredibly frustrating to have them autoplay video content, to the extent that I've started going back to browsing torrent sites instead.

> My Dutch teacher later explained that the Dutch are very direct – and nowhere are they so direct as they are in Amsterdam.

That's weird, I always hear that people in Rotterdam are the most direct ones within Netherlands.

It's funny to read this article where someone gives an example that instead of giving loads of reasons to see a doctor you should ask to see a doctor. To me it's entirely strange you don't just ask for it. It comes across as being not too bright (why don't you conclude this yourself instead of talking endlessly about it with me).

I work with Danish people, they're pretty direct as well. It quite frustrates me if there's some issue and someone keeps on complaining/discussing with random people instead of raising it with the person who has the ability to make a change. I highly appreciate my style of working.

I've worked with people from all over the world and likely annoyed quite a few of them. That said, usually once they grasp that they can tell me things straightforwardly they tend to appreciate it.
(1) I think you should just color paywalled PDFs differently

(2) I don't think this is good enough justification for the huge amount of space wasted by the thumbnail

(3) Recognizing familiar papers isn't all that useful. Making a specific thumbnail for each sub would be better IMO.

If you can already get your contacts to install software for you, why stay with email at all? You might as well use Telegram, SSB or whatever you want then.

Rotterdam is a lot more direct than Amsterdam.
Trigger words have their place, but come on Google, Amazon, and Apple...the obviously correct primary way to tell the device you are about to speak a command or query should be by tapping a replica of a Star Trek combadge worn on the front of your shirt.

At its simplest, all this needs to be is a Bluetooth button paired with the device. Higher end badges could also be available that include microphone and speaker and can communicate with the device over something longer range than Bluetooth, such as WiFi, to provide access to the device when outside of voice range.

Such badges already exist for hands-free calling with cell phones [1], so its not like there is some technological limit to building such things.

Comparing it to the population then suffers from not accounting for the wealth of a nation. It may appear expensive due to a high cost of living and therefore high staffing costs, but it doesn't matter if everything else is also scaled accordingly. You also have to consider outcomes, spending much more to get slightly better outcomes might be deemed worth it.

That said, it doesn't matter which metric you choose, US healthcare does poorly in almost all of them.
I hope this is not like those vaporware revolutionary battery technologies we see time to time.

Those are likely pretty trivial boards which you place parts yourself. I do that at home with crap equipment. It's not quite as easy if you have to have someone to place parts for you, which is required without significant investment if you are placing BGA / 0201 / 0402 packages reliably etc.
