Good God almighty that's a giant claptrap of words...

"Maybe if we just create/change a few more rules everything will be better" type mentality probably won't fix things. I see there are ideas to relax rules, which is good, but ultimately that might actually remove the 'money' aspect of the situation.

My mentality is that if the costs are too high then don't pay them (hint: move away).
> This would be great for blind people, as pdfed latex is extremely non-accessable, and I have to email authors of papers to get the original latex from them, which is often lost.

Many years ago I "translated" course materials into a form which was accessible to a blind grad student. It was a really interesting job and taught me a lot about accessibility.

I was effectively doing latex, but without all the leading \ characters. It made learning latex comparatively easy.

What interface do you use to read equations? Screen reader speaking the straight latex, or do you have some Middleware to make it more digestible when listened to?

The main point of dependency injection isn't that you're passing collaborators into the constructor though -- that's just an implementation detail.

It's about achieving inversion of control, and using a constructor to inject dependencies is just one example of how to do that. There's also setter based DI, and interface based injection, but again, those are just implementation details.
I never thought we'd get to the 3x of the 3x3 project for ruby 3, but looks like things are well beyond that already - which is great!

This should effectively kill the "ruby is slow" misnomer. One may find other languages better suited for certain particular uses, but this speed increase great expands the applicability of Ruby in the greater problem space.

Just because Ruby & Ruby on Rails have ceded popularity to javascript, does not mean that either have stopped improving. We usually abandon frameworks and languages because they have not kept up with the times or we outgrow them, but as time passes a ruby/rails stack becomes an even more effective approach to software development. With ActiveStorage and talk of push notification support built-in, and now this 6x(!) speed increase on 2.6 (and we're not even at ruby 3 yet!) makes for an effective one-man-band framework that normally require a whole team to deliver on. Amazing.
Why DNSFilter replaced InfluxDB with TimescaleDB
That's very accurate, having lived there for 6.5 years most recently.
I don't think it's a direct intolerance of other opinions because they're not the same but because they're not capable of coexistent in a "we know our beliefs are right and therefore anything incompatible with our beliefs is wrong" sort of way.

Look at the comments in here on any article about something that's vaguely political or a social issue in a flyover state, rural are or "less developed" country. There's this weird implication of slight superiority.

A lot of them often read with a sort of pro colonialism white mans's burden sort of tone. It's like everyone else isn't capable of figuring out their own problems and needs the smart people to rule them. There's also a sort of Christian missionary kind of undertone where everyone who doesn't believe like we do faces eternal damnation so it's our responsibility to get them to shun their existing beliefs and convert. It's not a malevolent intolerance, it's a saving you for your own good kind of intolerance.

I can't quite put my finger on it (so I'm drawing parallels instead) but I don't like it.

That sounds like an attack on westerners. Obviously westerners develop ideas for westerners first; That’s what they understand and that’s what they need. The lack of solutions for the billions of users of a writing system should not be the fault of the people who don’t use it. Sure they can do better, but they don’t deserve that tone.

Optimized Kotlin

Kotlin is a first-class language on Android, and if you haven't tried it yet, you should! We've made an enduring commitment to Kotlin in Android and continue to expand support including optimizing the performance of Kotlin code. In P you'll see the first results of this work -- we've improved several compiler optimizations, especially those that target loops, to extract better performance. We're also continuing to work in partnership with JetBrains to optimize Kotlin's generated code. You can get all of the latest Kotlin performance improvements just by keeping Android Studio's Kotlin plugin up-to-date.

How is Google looking at Java vs Kotlin vs Dart. If Flutter is indeed a long term strategic investment by Google, then why not Kotlin ?

Brewing a Better Cup of Coffee: GT Students Create a Filter That Reduces Acidity
As far as I see this is basically naive TDHS (Time Domain Harmonic Scaling). It's a great starter project as an intro to audio-effect coding, since you can visually observe where you go wrong and where the noise comes from at the edges. Just great for learning how audio works for beginners. It's very rare to have an audio effects algorithm so cool and so easy to observe without special analysis tools.

Some more famous algorithms that work this way and are similarly easy to implement are TDHS and PSOLA. They all work in the time domain but find different ways to smooth out the discontinuities and to make more extreme shifts sound better.

Humble Book Bundle: Mad Scientist by Make
His manifesto alone paints such a picture. No anecdotes from others necessary.

One coder with no unique personal success outside being hireable by Google painting the majority of the species as lesser, with cherry picked stats that ignore human history and social trends?

Edit: I don’t care about what numbers he put in his memo. It’s the idea of peddling such a thing in the first place by someone who has no authority

Saying math says we should behave a certain way is enabling authoritarian rule, IMO

Demore forgets that he’s one of billions. He can think what he wants using his numbers, but it’s not iron clad and means nothing given that the data is generated in a highly curated social structure

It’s less “his math is off” and more “why do I care who this Demore fellow is? Because he has math? Meh lots of people do. It’s not very interesting math and theory.”

That’s not likely to connect with this crowd.

Pretty self-aggrandizing and full of shit, IMO. Not something a “place of business” as Google has painted itself in these situations, should support
This explanation is necessarily wrong. There exist multiple paths of different phase lengths between two nodes (eg in a triangle configuration), unlike your bicycle example. In particular, the L1 and L2 distance metrics are equivalent on a line but not on a 2D plane or sphere.
The reason diffing and virtual doms are used are to prevent unnecessarily repainting the browser window 1000 times a second. If I have 5 updates to make, I want to do those in one paint, instead of 5. So the process is change -> change -> change -> paint.

With this framework's model, the process would be change -> paint -> change -> paint etc. etc. Sure, you get nice FPS (because it's painting a LOT), but that will destroy battery performance on mobile phones and I don't need 60 FPS in my shopping web app.

> Don't run your own mail server. But if you have to, don't run a C-language mail server. But if you have to, run Postfix.

I... don't think Postfix' track record bears this out? Setting up a mailserver is quite a bit of work, but if you configure Postfix with an appropriate degree of paranoia and don't care about receiving some spam, you can leave Postfix running for years and years with zero vulnerabilities. (E.g. https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-8450..., as you know.)

It's hard to compete against GMail's security, but if you have to run some service on your own Postfix is much less likely to get you pwned than almost any web application, or even many HTTP servers. (Postfix shares that distinction with another large-but-excellent C application, OpenSSH.)

(Mind you, "appropriate degree of paranoia" includes absolutely not running anything like a virus scanner, which protects your server but leaves your mail user agents open to attack.)

Whose fault is it that you don't have time to read? If you are being asked to sign a document that you feel you have not had reasonable time to read, you should not be signing that document.
Definitely it was a good read, but let me just focus on the main point.

It is true that Blockchain technology has been thought as a replacement of a trusted third party like a notary or central register, but usually those are public registries: household ownerships, public offers... And those registries are usually exceptions or are treated in a different way (and usually they are explicitly regulated by each country). A few of them are even public, like the defaulters list in Spain.

Also, it is quite naive to think that an European citizen can erase "any personal data", that could be quite convenient to erase your fresh new mortgage or obligations. You are only allowed to ask for irrelevant information to be removed not for specific business related log even if they have your personal data in them.

I've done some work cleaning up documents for use by a blind student. OCR starts to fail really badly when math is involved. Common errors like O versus 0, any accents or additions to characters, small formulas embedded in sentences, graphs with captions, etc. Can all throw things off considerably.

Best case I could copy and paste paragraphs at a time from a PDF of the textbook (with copy protection removed). Worst case I was retyping or fixing every few words in a sentence.

I was working on this from about 2011-2013. Advances with image processing and machine learning have been significant since then, so there may be much better software available now.

If anyone has ideas or packages they'd recommend, I'd be interested.

Does Silicon Valley really push out dissenting opinions?

Yes. People will discover that you have nuanced views, then start to talk to basically warn you ominously, or send you home in a cab. People with power will leave you hanging, wondering if your life will be destroyed.

There seem to be plenty of people with very out of the mainstream and quirky opinions who have thrived in the valley for years and plenty of obnoxious people who try to emulate them by having dissenting opinions for the sake of having a dissenting opinion.

The problem isn't the obnoxious people. Obnoxious people thrive on their conflicts with each other. The problem is what happens to reasonable people. The problem is the intolerance of asking questions and of loyal opposition. The problem is that there's so much hostility towards honest inquiry. You're either with them or against them. I remember when the left was horrified at hearing a phrase like that from the Right. Now the Bay Area Left say it.
I think people should in general give generous helpings of attention to children including reading and talking with and interacting - especially when they're younger and soak all that in. But I think this article with it's curiously specific recommendations falls more into a category of preying on parent fears then being advice that's well supported science.
True. And if at some point in the future their actions become aggressive and unreasonable, I would have a far less charitable view.

I can only judge them based on their actions to date, not what they might do in the future.

Thanks for the reply, I had not heard of pcb-stackup before, but it looks awesome. I hope to integrate that into a site some day.

They knew it themselves, even. At one point a favorite pastime of the Android team was counting how many clocks were displayed:

I had the Nexus 5 until last month. Was nearly a perfect phone. Unfortunately the battery couldn't make it through a day (even with light usage), and you can't find a good replacement; replacement batteries are either OEM forgeries or cheap generics with questionable quality control. I ended up with the Essential Phone, which has worked out very well and seemed like a good value at $425. I can't justify to myself paying $600+ for a premium phone.

EDIT: It's just a coincidence another poster mentioned the Essential phone. We aren't spammers! But for me the Essential phone, after it dropped in price to around $400, feels like a successor to the Nexus line: a good-valued uncluttered phone, with decent specs.

Postfix is nice, but the cognitive load of having to also understand and implement SPF, DKIM, Dmarc reports, antispam, webmail client, etc, is pretty high. The $5/user/month for Gsuite has been worth it for me, even though I could DIY if needed. Their UI makes all those things much smoother. Plus I get bonuses like their labs add-ons, etc.
> To better ensure privacy, Android P restricts access to mic, camera, and all SensorManager sensors from apps that are idle.

Good. Now, if only permissions could be granted temporarily (e.g. "allow for this session", which auto-revokes after 5-60 minutes of not using the application), it'll be perfect.

> We will also enable encryption of Android backups with a client-side secret.

Is this about BackupManager? Awesome if so. (BTW, have anyone ever heard of any alternative BackupTransports, besides Google Drive?)

> Android P also gives the user control over access to the platform's build.serial identifier by putting it behind the READ_PHONE_STATE permission.

IMHO, they should've really split that in two different permissions and deprecate READ_PHONE_STATE. Device identifiers (including SIM card identities) and phone state ("someone's calling") are two different things.
Maybe it's because they (SV entrepeneurs) have so much wealth thay can afford to indulge any whim, I can imagine the scenario of society collapsing but planning for it isn't in my disposable income.

The above is pretty much a definition of intolerance.
I fail to see how the tone in your comment is at all appropriate for the comment you are responding to. You seem overly sensitive on this issue.
>This comment is written as if it says something important, but really doesn't say anything at all.

It's ambiguous what 'it' refers to (comment vs. the article) in your sentence. If you meant the comment, then I disagree because it doesn't pretend to say something 'important', it just points out that the article doesn't introduce anything new for people doing things that aren't clearly a scam under existing laws.

If you meant the article doesn't say anything important, then I agree and I don't think the comment you replied to says anything different.
Huh? If that was the case, it would go a bit too far, as it would make technologies like e-mail or git illegal to use internally, considering those are likely to have a real name of a person who sent an e-mail/committed.
