"Out of curiosity, who or what has designated you an “ethical UX designer”?"

Simply put, I would never allow these dark design patterns into the product if I was the designer, by arguing that it would affect perceived trustworthiness of the company and brand credibility if dark patterns start to become pervasive and the norm across the product. As a professional UX designer, it's my duty to be the voice of the user and I'd put my neck on the line to make sure I voiced my concern before they went over my head and implemented dark patterns. I'll never sign off on it.

The issue is a lack of accountability by designers/PMs who hide behind the company name when these dark patterns are exposed. In an era when companies like Facebook sway political elections through their dark pattern designed newsfeeds, watchdog groups and regulatory bodies need to be created to keep them in check.

I'm interested in learning more about this, do you happen to have any links to building such an api?
Agreeableness trumps Neuroticism IMHO. Neuroticism is a knee-jerk reaction that you cannot control without a lot of self-control. To expect an individual ranking high in Neuroticism to control themselves is to be blind to other's points of view. In short, it means that you do not have enough sensibility to understand and predict the reaction of others before they happen.

Agreeableness allows you to predict those reaction and plan accordingly.
Why are these findings disappointing? That suggests a presupposition of the outcome. The results are what they are. We learned this doesn't have the desired result, so try something else.
Because they scrambled their brains by taking too many drugs in the name of 'spiritual enlightenment'. I've personally have friends--previously really smart rational people--who've gone off the deep end after taking a few too many hits of acid.

Psychedelics can be great and all, and though I've never indulged myself I can see why someone might benefit from doing so. Your neuro-chemistry is altered in such a radical way that you're bound to see yourself and the world from a radically different perspective. The problem with prolonged use, I think, is that that radically altered state eventually becomes your normal state and you lose touch with reality.
I wasn't responding to the distributed transaction argument, though nothing in the MongoDB blog says it won't support it.

I was specifically responding to "one table one service" which is the foundation of domain driven micro service architecture. To have a single domain silo'd and tested within its own boundaries.

Whether you're firing events between services or just calling other services is a design decision, but the encapsulation of a specific domain is the point and the primary benefit.

I have no idea what you're doing, but this is what I worked on:

Which proves that silo'd micro-services are cost-effective and produce real world results in a complex environment.

I've begun to see immutability as a common theme in some of the most esteemed tech in production. Email, git, cryptocurrency, and stream processing (although I admit I don't know a lot about that one) just to name a few big ones.
Given how many people use offline wallets (in my case a paper wallet as well as a Trezor) seems like you need some way to let me mark transactions as "non sell" and "non buy" otherwise this really doesn't provide me much value.
Thanks for responding. I look forward to Epic updating their post mortem.

If you're referring to AP and other news services, they pay quite a lot for that, so the reporters are paid. Also, they contribute their own stories from their paid reporters to the service for other members to share.

Hacking a projector in Hy
To the extent that the model checker is complete and error free, and to the extent that that the model corresponds with that under instrumentation.

I've been far down that rabbit hole, and I've found cases where certain model checkers fail to find counterexamples that other model checkers find. Sometimes, this is due to errors in one or more of the checkers. Sometimes this is due to differences in representation. But, ultimately, the argument is epistemological. There is a corollary to the phrase: "Absence of proof isn't proof of absence": absence of a counterexample isn't an absence of a contradiction.

As I've said, I love model checkers. But, they are not perfect, nor are they a panacea.
Regardless of the merits of the case, does "local control" matter? Any web site is available in pretty much every inhabited corner of the US (and this means Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google, but also Medium, NYTimes.com, Foxnews.com, random blogs, and, let's not forget, stormfront, 4chan, foxnews.com, and mother jones.com. The big broadcast networks (Comcast-NBC, CBS, Disney/ABC, and in radio, Clearchannel) dominate the airwaves in every market, just as they are entering eclipse. Do "local" stations even matter?

FWIW I really, really dislike Sinclair Publishing, haven't liked almost anything Pai has said to date, and am somewhat willing to believe, a priori, that he is corrupt. And still I am not sure if there is really a problem.

I used to use IDE's but have changed over to Sublime Text.

I really got turned off from my tool (IDE) assuming things I wanted to be done and doing things for me without my knowledge. I don't need wizards to start projects. I also wanted my editor to open when I open it and not seemingly minutes after that.

This means I don't have high-end things like documentation lookup at a keypress while editing. I'm ok with that, I can find the docs online, probably already have them open if its part of a language I'm not familiar with.

The ad issue is separate to me. They keep adding ads to more and more places in Windows 10, and each location has a different toggle to turn on / off.

I turned off all advertising options in Windows 10 when I first installed, only to be greeted by another ad months later which they had added with a newly downloaded update.

The toggles aren't even centralized, you have to hunt them down in different menus. I have a hard time believing this wasn't done on purpose.
I'm curious what parts of Rust you think are safer than Python.

And their argument would hold more weight if they would just point at the vulnerability they're suspecting.

Even if they only had rough suspicions (with rigorous technical underpinnings, just like a security researcher taking their job seriously). The public security community has repeatedly discovered, reported and fixed serious security vulnerabilities without the NSA doing shit all to help out (which is their job) whether they knew about the vulnerability or not, going as far as deliberately pushing back.

The only reason I can see why you'd prefer one argument over the other is if you somehow believe the NSA always has the best interest of the people at heart. But I think we know a little better by now and they might support the people in theory, but there are usually other interests that are bigger and better and more important.
I would not revolt if Tesla gave up china, but I only have a measly 100 shares!
I get the sarcasm :) But in fact, markets are great for many things. However, they're clearly vulnerable to information asymmetry and outright dishonesty, at least in the short term.

I mean, demand for PCB-tainted oil for dust suppression did decrease dramatically after PCB content and toxicity were widely known. And demand for melamine-supplemented baby food also decreased dramatically after people discovered the issue.

The problem was that more-or-less irreversible damage had already been done. Damages could be recovered through litigation, perhaps. But that doesn't fix poisoned ecosystems and children.

So we need regulation to punish market manipulation through dishonesty.
Any problems with Server / LTSB for gaming?

(honest question - that's the sole reason I have windows anything and I'd be thrilled to get rid of all the absolute nonsense they've been throwing at me)
It was an intellectual exercise to answer the posed question "Who would you rather have listening in?"
Thanks. I asked because I used to think people I knew were buying stupid shit, and at the same time a lot of my friends made fun of me for being a cheapskate.

When I was younger I managed to have a very low income for a while, but perhaps still (kind of) middle class sensibilities. I had college educated hippie parents, and was generally expected to succeed in some loose sense.

While I was wondering around on my own for several years getting fired from minimum wage jobs and such, I was sometimes surprised by how the people around me had different expectations and priorities then I did, and I think they were surprised by mine. (Actually, the interest in even talking about shit like this was one of those things that most people I knew mostly didn’t expect or share.) I was surprised when people I knew would settle for what I thought were bad deals they couldn’t afford like rentals, convenience food, pawn, or getting out of a jam with other expensive credit services.

So my friends made fun of me, and my girlfriend resented me because I wouldn’t buy a reasonable car, or a TV or cable, or a phone, for repairing things other people cast off, digging stuff out of the trash, and so on.

I felt like there was a real stigma attached to living within my pathetic means. Meanwhile, people seemed more worried about feeling or looking poor then actually being poor. It seemed like people with kids didn’t want them experience deprivation or stigma, and they especially tended to over-reach. In retrospect, I think I expected upward mobility, at least eventually, but the people around me didn’t.
Two weeks this has been going on, apparently. Nothing on their blog, nothing on Twitter. No notifications to customers? Smells of an active attempt to keep the whole thing quiet.
It's a tricky problem. I think tech people are fringe. For me, I would want to disable it all. But if people can turn it off then it doesn't let microsoft improve and adapt. In concept, I kind of like the idea the OS could anticipate the things I need. It's how we imagine futuristic computer systems. It's a bit different from the traditional OS where you are the master over everything.

I'm not sure many on HN are going to like this thing, but I would think MS gets to see the stats and has better view of how well they are doing. Percentage wise it might be working out pretty good, however, each percentage point they piss off ends up being a lot of people and if the fringe of tech people are in that 1% that can end up in a lot of angry blogs.

Many (most?) people on Hacker News might be too young to remember the Halloween Documents. They were internal Microsoft documents describing their proposed strategy for dealing with competition from then-new Free Software alternatives:

http://www.catb.org/esr/halloween/

If you want to understand why Microsoft is acting the way they are, read those documents.

It's not that I think they are still executing the strategies and tactics spelled out therein. Quite the contrary; Microsoft realises they've lost the OS war to Linux (on one front) and OSX (on the other).

The point is how astonishingly user-hostile those memos are. They lay out a strategy for competing with Free Software that has almost nothing to do with their users' needs and wants. Instead, the obvious assumption is that their users will be sacrificed to their (Microsoft's) strategic goals.

That's not to say that individual Microsoft teams don't produce excellent, user-centric software (two I can think of in my own experience are Excel and Visual Studio).

But the executive leadership, and company culture as a whole, seems to care little about the people who actually use their products. This was clearly true back in the 90s, and is clearly true now. In the 90s it was 'embrace and extend', in the 2010s it's 'track and advertise'.

To the extent that we can do this simple word substitution, it should probably make us less impressed, not more.

Basically only the most generic points that you can make about any new technology (e.g. this will not solve every single problem, this is commonly misunderstood and misapplied) will still make sense. We should focus our attention on the specific claims made about the specific new technology being critiqued, rather than the things someone can always say.

(This observation is actually an application of information theory - if the points being made are 100% predictable then they contribute no negentropy :)
Which is why the comparison is given as "tuition".

New iOS Bug Crashes Apple Devices, Blocks Apps and iMessages
Windows has a new feature called "Controlled Folder Access", it is a security mecanism that protect from ransomware. It is a great idea, but the implementation is annoying.

Also the default Defender antivirus is so slow, it make the installation of software package 2 or 3 slower.

A small number of shows are not included in our No Commercials Add-on. You can still watch these shows, however, they will play with a short commercial before and after each episode.

While the list of shows may change, they are currently: Grey’s Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Scandal, Grimm, New Girl, and How To Get Away With Murder.

‘Lede’ vs. ‘Lead’ (2011)
But you can do this without S-expressions.

DLang, for example, has free-form macros that they weirdly call "mixin" (as in, mixing in some text or declarations into the AST, syntax-wise).

Each mixin must be a valid AST subtree on its own, which gives the same guarantee that paren matching prior to macro expansion gives you.

Then, the compiler can interleave:

parsing

-> evaluating mixin strings
-> resuming parsing of the mixin subtrees
-> evaluating the deeper mixin strings
-> ...

You get the power of Lisp macros, but without the Lisp syntax that is unattractive to many.
Tor is an option.
Of course it does, because it can be combined with other characters. This is the semantic meaning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_accent

That's technically true, but the members of independent commissions that are required by law to not be of the President's party are, by strong tradition, chosen by the other major party's leadership in the Senate, despite being formally appointed by the President. Pai was chosen by Mitch McConnell.

> and got a promotion by the 55th.

You're off by ten.
I have to agree. This blog post comes from a place of judging what is "better" by some arbitrary abstract metrics (hint: the author's own library wins this contest). It doesn't consider what programmers use them for.

Promises are meant to semantically (and with async/await, syntactically) resemble a function call as closely as possible, while minimizing confusing errors. The author's "improvements" would ruin this.

If I need a bunch of features that a promise doesn't provide, like cancellation, I will write something to do it manually with callbacks. This is far less than 1% of async calls though.

Err... Maybe not microsecond latency ? Yes PERC is AOT, and real-time (if you call sched-fifo and preempt_rt on Linux real-time) but consistent microsecond (!) latency on something other than microcontroler/dsp/fpga hardware and with PERC, I'd like to see. My experience says more likely millisecond latency, which is good enough for most radar applications (you'll have dedicated fine-tuned nanosecond-capable hardware for high quality rx / tx anyway)...

Edited: but Yes, and they're not the only ones that did radar or embedded software with PERC. There was a time (5-10 years ago ?) it was all the rage...

In my opinion, this article puts too much emphasis on reading, and too little emphasis on actually reasoning about programs in homoiconic languages like Prolog and Lisp, and due to this imbalance the conclusion is not sufficiently justified.

It is true: Being able to "read without parsing" is definitely nice.

But that is only a subset of those advantages that a homoiconic language gives you. An at least equally important advantage is due to the fact that programs in homoiconic languages are typically very easy to reason about by built-in mechanisms in that language.

For example, Prolog programs are readily represented as Prolog terms, and can be easily reasoned about by built-in mechanisms such as unification.

Since I regard it as a key advantage of homoiconic languages that their abstract syntax is completely uniform and can typically be easily reasoned about within such languages, I disagree with the main point that the article is trying to make.

One interesting fact about homoiconicity is that extremely low-level languages (like assembly code) and extremely high-level languages (like Prolog) are homoiconic, yet there is a large gap "in the middle", where there are many languages (like Java, C, Python etc.) that lack this property.
