Embedding, a.k.a. hotlinking, a.k.a. transclusion is just another type of linking. Any of those terms would work just as well in my comment because they all share the property that the content is being published by someone else.

But there isn't much of a difference between hotlinks and anchor links in this discussion anyway, since sites (e.g. Google, Pirate Bay) also face legal liability for simple anchor links to copyrighted works. Just Google "[any popular book] pdf" and read the DMCA blurb at the bottom of the results.
Your comment doesn't make sense. If the self-reported harassment numbers are correct, it means this case is an exception, not the rule. As for why is it an exception, see other comments about bots, fake photos, and target audience of the site.

>bounce mail w/o a sensible text part

Hmm... I’d like to, but I’m not sure how I’d do that on FastMail.

Eventually I may host my own emails, but until that day, I can’t really do much about this problem.

Maybe I could have an IMAP client on a server that is constantly connected to FastMail and looks at incoming emails to file them into an “HTML only” mailbox if they don’t contain a text/plain version?

I can read those emails from the FastMail Web Interface
Can we start suing Google then for Google cache or the WayBackMachine for the same? They are certainly republishing my pages without permission. That's copyright infringement according to this criteria too. In fact, they host the content on their servers so there isn't even this technicality. What about the snippets Google shows in its search results? What about Slack when it embeds part of my page when someone posts a link?

DOGE is a bitcoin derivative (fork of the software, not of the blockchain) that has a supportive community and is inexpensive for mainnet testing. Those are reasons I wouldn’t be surprised to see it in any crypto project.
I'd still use CLJS. Just fighweel alone is worth it. I can see any code change in <1s and have the exact same UI state. It's just much faster for developing.

Interop is not bad, I don't do too much interop. I don't use npm-deps but just bundle the React builds separately and include them in the HTML. They rarely change and I set caching header to immutable so the browser will just read them from memory (my CLJS app changes multiple times a week). If you want to use a lot of NPM deps I'd recommend shadow-cljs, there has been a lot of development by the maintainer and it seems to work incredibly well for NPM deps. Feel free to ping me on the Clojure slack, there is also a beginners channel that is very active. And there is a shadow-cljs channel where the maintainer will quickly respond.
Ok, not continental America as most would know it but an island way, way out there. A somewhat sensationalist title. What they really want you to think is: "China is conquering America".
It was pretty clear from the beginning that this was all hype and talk with very little substance, but I thought it would slide more towards the cult direction (scientology-style, that is). What I read in this article suggests it's not going there, which frankly is almost a relief : a cult would be more concerning than just a failing company.

The pissing off part was not a variable in this experiment, and it is your personal opinion. If the box is not intrusive I find it nice to be able to talk to a human directly. I does piss me off when I end up chatting to a dumb bot wasting my time though.

In any case, perhaps it makes the conclusion even more shocking: A male can piss someone off with little to no negative effect, a female can't. I fear for the results when taking this experiment into meat space.
I did consider this, and spent an entire paragraph on it, in my article.

I agree, up to an extent, that mining as whole, has a problem to overcome. But, so far, there is no way to have a stake other than "electricity". And you need that stake (in the Proof Of Work) to solve the Byzantine Fault Tolerance.

Proof of stake, or even Proof of RAM (I'm just making that up here), Proof of Space are alternatives, some are actively being developed. Proof of Stake, might, potentially, solve this whole "energy wasting" thing.

But the fundamental question is: "Is it a waste of energy"? Is the burning of energy to secure a decentralized, autonomous, permissionless monetary system a "waste"? Maybe. but in that case there are far more obvious cases of "wasting" energy.
And by conquering, they mean: influence with money.
It lets you reuse your existing knowledge about algebra to transform programs. For example if you have a data type that has two different cases (= sum) each of which has a bunch of fields (= factors in a product) some of which are shared (= common factors in a sum of products) then you can literally factor them out, just like you can factor A * B * C + A * D * C into A * (B + D) * C.
You can't control every factor. Arguing for "equality of opportunity" really just means taking a laissez-faire attitude as to who succeeds. It means not making explicit exclusionary rules as to who can participate, but also not undertaking a vain attempt to equalize every conceivable variable.
Weex Review and Comparison with React Native
Most programming books do not let you pause to reflect. They just go on and on. Consider Fluent Python by Luis Ramalho. If you read through the book, you will not get much out of it. However, if after each chapter, you try to come up with a practical application of the concepts discussed, then you will have a better chance at building a mental model around the topics. The code presented is just a solution to a problem. You need to come up with more problems. Basically, don't be a passive learner. Be an active learner.

Teaching? It's already been taught and learned. It does indeed erode such ideas. I guess that's what our society wants when it implements the multitude of stupid laws it does, copyright certainly among them. Hell, anyone who's ever smoked a joint already knows this to be the case as does anyone who is a minority. Maybe our ideas about the rule of law should be eroded, considering how poorly implemented the idea is here in the US.
The Autopackage project had a solution for this problem years ago called apbuild. It would search for the versions of glibc symbols and use the oldest possible ones, which resulted in portable binaries. With some quick googling I found the code here: https://github.com/DeaDBeeF-Player/deadbeef-plugin-builder/t... Probably doesn't work anymore though :/

It's a bit sad that this is still unsolved, probably due to the GNU people's hatred for closed-source distribution.
> "those solutions have huge performance impact comparing C/Rust on bare-metal"

I didn't suggest Python is the optimal solution for low level coding, I just suggested it is an option.

> "You need "beefy" Cortex-M family to get similar performance that you can get with 8/16-uC with C."

In the case of MicroPython, people find it usable on platforms like the ESP8266, which is less powerful than a "beefy" Cortex-M. As before, I don't deny that there is a performance overhead compared to C, but it clearly has some traction in the embedded space.
> How many more instances of this happening do we need before people believe there's actually a problem in society surrounding sexism?

I believe there is rampant sexism; what I don't believe is that the approach of treating all men as potential rapists and claiming that masculinity is toxic is working out (in fact, I think it exacerbates the problem; practically all mass shootings are a result of boys/men being systematically imbued with toxic shame).

But yeah, go wear those pussy hats if it makes you feel good.

That won't protect you, you can read the analysis for MongoDB from here: http://jepsen.io/analyses

The last analysis looks good, but you need to note that this is only true with the strongest settings (this means that Mongo will be configured with slowest settings) also this analysis did not include node crashes or restarts.

I explicitly made a case for opt-in. How is that "theft"?

And whether or not that is popular is besides the case. If it is impopular, it still is not "theft", is it?

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant, to even try to keep up with the contradictory medical studies.

Yes, you should exercise; that's a common sense thing I'm referring to. But trying to decide if things like calorie restriction really work in the face of conflicting studies is frustrating.

The pissing off part might not be a variable in the experiment, but it still skews the results. You can get any result you want if you pick the right subset of the population and prep them the right way before taking the measurement.
Yes, I'm using the word "messages" loosely in the article. Here, "messages" = message threads or sessions.
- We got 2,100 message threads over the last three months.
- We got 14 message threads or abusive sessions per week, a small fraction of the 2,100 overall

The average "abusive session" contained only about three or four messages, not 6-7. Otherwise, your math is right.
The name has its origin in type theory (you also have product types). It's not the best name I guess, but not the worst either: If we have type A with n terms and type B with m terms, then the sum type of A and B has n + m terms.

There are much more confusing things in type theory, like the ambiguity that the word 'type' has (I still don't grok the terminology, to be honest).
> A dark UI pattern.

I disagree. Dark UI is manipulation of the user. For example, hiding 'X' buttons on pop-ups asking for a subscription. (Is refusing to pay for value provided a dark 'pattern' on the part of users?)

This pop-up does not manipulate the user. It is an honest value proposition. So is "Fifty Shades of Grey." I didn't buy it.

This was extremely interesting.

1.

It would be interesting to know to what extent she would have received the same messages if she had had the message (this matches the style of the message they used):

>Hey! Thanks for visiting Kapwing. I'm Julia [or Rachel], founder of Kapwing. If you run into any issues making your video, feel free to let me know, and I'll do my best to help!

By identifying herself as a founder this would separate the message from the chatbots who use female avatars, as mentioned in our comments here in this thread.

2.

I'd also be interested in an even less breezy version (to make it even less like a chatbot), such as:

>Hello and thank you for visiting Kapwing. I'm Julia [or Rachel], founder of Kapwing. If you run into any issues making your video, please do let me know and I'll investigate the issue.

I don't have a guess as to what the results would be: perhaps exactly the same regardless of style and introduction. But it would be interesting to know.

3.

For comparison it would also have also been interesting to use a male model who matches the same description ("I found a stock photo of a blonde woman who was attractive in an obvious way", so a stock photo of a male model who was attractive in an obvious way.)

For this one I do have a guess:

- I expect that in the article/study, 100% of the rude messages came from heterosexual males.

- But there are homosexual males so my guess is that an equally "obviously attractive" man would get 10% as many lewd messages, i.e. from homosexual males. (if use the old figure of "1 in 10" being gay.)

But as far as it goes the study was extremely interesting and worth reporting.

EDIT: I updated men to males above, actually especially since it's a meme site I bet most of the puerile messages were from teenagers - they show striking levels of immaturity.
I remember how Yandex was making a toast out of Google image search (market share wise) by providing said button. I think that the whole inclusion of the button by Google was motivated by this competition and Russian market was the first to get it.

Just FTR. Your example is wrong.

[root@domek ~]# /usr/share/bcc/tools/funclatency -i 10 -p `pgrep -n mysqld` sys_write
0 functions matched by "sys_write". Exiting.

The correct one is:

funclatency -i 10 -p `pgrep -n mysqld` vfs_write

Nevertheless, I'm not happy that there this no in this case analogue of the language which I can use on correlating data from different probes. Tools like funclatency cover exact class of the cases and on implementing anything more sophisticated still, I wont to have something like DTrace as frontend.
Also worth mentioning as alternative: Use startpage.com image search or Duckduckgo image search. Startpage is superior... even proxies images often through their server. By the way: They filter less explicit content than Google does (Google is pro active making image search SFW and for me this is censoring).
Omg how do I get stock images & icons for my applications now?! /jk
Amazing. The author spends a lot of time to tell us a very convincing story how sexism affects people in our industry, and the Hacker News thread is full of people rationalizing it.

- it's only because people think you're a bot

- it's because of your target audience

- it's because chat widgets are annoying

- you don't really have enough data to make any conclusions

How much will it take to convince the average HN reader that sexism actually is everywhere?
I expect your downvotes are for the unnecessary and offensive inclusion of, "have to be mentally retarted [sic]." Without that I might have up-voted you for the other points made. (Although they could have been made with a less confrontational tone as well.)

Why do they reduce the amount of code?

They add the ability for constructors to carry constraints, which aids expressivity in some cases.

But the majority of GADT uses purely add safety. Can use ordinary ADT without a type-variable that is correlated with the data constructor, and crash at runtime if the constructors don't match.
FTA: In 2014, the most recent year that a county level breakdown is available, 54% of counties (with 11% of the population) have no murders. 69% of counties have no more than one murder, and about 20% of the population. These counties account for only 4% of all murders in the country. The worst 1% of counties have 19% of the population and 37% of the murders. The worst 5% of counties contain 47% of the population and account for 68% of murders.

> Or maybe it's useful to get started off with a low overhead, easy to implement DB like Mongo and then as you grow larger, spin off uses that it doesn't serve well to other more specialized and complicated DBs?

Not really, converting to relational data is quite a bit of work.

Actually the reverse is the correct approach. You start with normalized data, when there's a bottleneck you start denormalizing it, if that's still not enough you move /subset/ of data to NoSQL database.

> One of the biggest problem with relational DBs is that once you decide on a schema, if it's the wrong one, you're gonna be in a lot of pain.

Not really from my experience all migrations were done through SQL. Also if multiple people (who understand relational databases) come with a schema they pretty much will arrive to the same normalized result.

Because it's safer than harassing a human. Perfectly reasonable people will be abusive to a bot, because they assume the bot cannot feel it.
> Consider older mediums; does broadcasting a TV show put it into the public domain? Or playing a song on the radio?

In a sense, it does, yeah. It's just that copyright injects a century or so of lag time before members of the public domain are allowed to exercise their rights.
Code generated by C compilers is fast in 2018.

Code generated by C compilers for C64, Spectrum, Atari, Atari ST, Amiga, Mac, CP/M, MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, Nintendo, MegaDrive,... systems meant many times the code would be 80% like this:

void some_func(/* params */) {
asm {
/* actual "C" code as inline Assembly */
}
}

Lots of Swift sugar also gets optimized away, and there is plenty of room to improvement.

The code that current C compilers don't generate, many times is related to taking advantage of UB.

They also generate extra code for handling stuff like floating point emulation though.

Just as an example, IBM did their whole RISC research using PL/8, including an OS and optimizing compiler using an architecture similar to what LLVM uses.

They only bothered with C, after making the business case that RISC would be a good platform for UNIX workstations.
"Rude people are sexist" or "Sexist people are rude" is about the only conclusion you can draw here (maybe not even that, correlation != causation etc etc)

It doesn't even come close to showing how "sexism is everywhere". For all we know the sample could be entirely edgy 12 year olds.

Tell me again how this self-admittedly "non-rigorous scientific study" proves "sexism is everywhere"?

It could easily be that more attractive profiles result in more interactions and receive the same proportion of sexist responses. Their data measures sexist messages not the proportion of sexist messages over all of their interactions.
Well, in jazz, you have your own individual style, people hire you because they like it. Sure, in different settings you adapt, but you still sound like yourself. It's the same with classical soloists. The ones that are famous, are famous because they don't sound like anyone else. Just a lot like themselves. Same with singers (rock, jazz, classical) - all well-known singers are very recognisable, and a lot of them have weird, unusual voices.

Also, I find it strange, this talking as if programming and music don't exist in the world outside a setting of just having to do what the leader wants. I guess particularly because I've been programming and playing music all my life, almost all of the time doing exactly what I wanted every second. (Only music professionally)

FYI, if you are interested in the gramatical explanation of a level, you could log into the web version of Duolingo (your same account will work) and they are all there for many languages, as well as several other features (depending on the language) such as a full dictionary of words you've studied, and each has its own "health bar". There are also flash cards although now Duolingo has a separate app for that called TinyCards.

I'm not affiliated with them in any way but with the number of people I've convinced to use it, I should be getting commission.
If its a bot, is it really "male" or "female"? The larger point that many people are trying to make is that if websites and corporations didn't always try to disguise their bots behind the face of a pretty girl then perhaps people would consider that their messages were being sent to actual human beings.
Well people who think this is fun are jerks (or kids) to start with, real life or not. But the real world has something the internet lacks: social control. The people you evolve with know you, judge you, and you must maintain a certain attitude and appear to adhere to social norms under the threat of contempt, exclusion, or even legal implications. That keeps society together. I think the internet shows the raw human nature without the social control. And it’s not pretty.
One of my more depressing findings in life is that no matter how you slice and dice the population, you'll find an abundance of assholes in every slice.
