Your point would be valid if religion was a low priority hobby.

>In an even broader sense, this frustration captures man’s existential dilemma in a Platonic universe of unknowable absolutes. Truth exists. Answers exist. A hard foundation of reality exists underneath a concealing fog. But humans will not always see it.

That is the reason why we want it so desperately. The unknown absolute - does it exist? Is there an absolute answer to everything? Is there a God?
If that infurates you, it is a sign to be a necessity. There is a reason why social networks do not want to certify information to be true or not. And it is certainly not because of some "twisted side-stepping".

Evidence can change and something regarded as false yesterday, can be true tomorrow. Congratulations, you committed censorship.

Take your example of vaccinations. Huge topic, even in my country which is at a 96% protected rate. Misinformation would evidentely be that anti-vaxxers are a significant problem that should be talked about and that we seriously need legislation to enforce vaccination.

Blatently false, the numbers show it. Having any other opinion is pure science denial.

That said, it can be a problem in other parts of the world. So what should be the reference here?

You aren't even able to develop a theory about the damage of misinformation that would withstand scientific scrutiny. Maybe only because of lacking data than there not being a correlation, but still.

So in the end I would conclude you only want to censor things you do not like.

If you are more certain about your point of view and are able to articulate it, maybe more people will believe you.
The art created by the rich isn't exclusively for the rich. They create art galleries and museums, as well as parks and festivals and sports and science centers and Keck telescopes and universities and other great things.

You could say the public could do those, but now you have to deal with creation by a public committee, which may water down more cutting edge ideas due to the effects of populism.

A billionaire can just make it happen, regardless of what the public thinks. They aren't responsible to the public in their art.

Gambling is defined as the activity of playingva game for stakes or betting on an uncertain outcome.

Playing poker for matchsticks is just as much gambling as playing poker for a $50k pot. The only thing changing is the stakes of the gamble.

From what I understand, Magic and other card games are not gambling because the cards are considered to all be of equal value despite rarity. If the company that sells Magic (Wizards or the Coast / Hasbro) were to acknowledge that the cards DO have a secondary market value, it would qualify as gambling. Especially so, if they acknowledged they knew the relative values of the cards during the design / planning phases (which they absolutely do). Though I love magic, I have no doubt, if all the facts were to come to light in court, the law would stipulate drastic changes to their model, which is part of the reason why Wizards of the Coast is run like a cult.

Having just js experience on your resume would/should not effectively result in increased pay without substantial references. Even if you have a shitload of package downloads.

The status page is telling the truth if this is a client side issue.
Can you specify a bureaucratic regime for distinguishing the two that you'd trust an opposition government to operate? If not, they are equivalent for public policy purposes.

To Trump supporters, The New York Times is an institution that spreads lies with abandon, and they get to operate enforcement agencies at the moment. The belief that it's seeking the truth in good faith is essentially just liberalism. Same for Fox and friends.
In general, this is wrong. 4xx status may be retried, achieving different results each time. This makes sense with for example status 409 and 429, where this is definitely expected, or 404 since resources may be added or removed at any time independent of any single client, or 402 and 403 which may change out of band.

Conversely, there are 5xx statuses that you shouldn't expect to change with each request, for example 505 (HTTP version not supported) or, really, 500 in some cases.

There's AFAIK no standardized strategy to deal with the different status code. Instead it's important to get the status code right to as accurately as possible describe the error to the client. The server never tells the client what to do; it tells it what went wrong so that the client can deal with the error at its own discretion. In this case the server told he client that it was a teapot when what actually happened was an internal server error. That's wrong because it's wrong, not because every client will or even should deal with either of these errors in a predictable way.
I am actually surprised GitHub still has OOBGC, which I thought was made redundant in 2014/2015 when Ruby 2.2 had incremental marking, and further improvement in GC 2.3, 2.4 and now 2.5.

In 2.6 they are introducing something similar called Sleepy GC

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14723

There are even better memory default for 2.6 using less memory. ( Or better switch to Jemalloc )

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14718

I cant find the thread, but there also a test showing how on Alpine Linux memory and performance were much better for Ruby Apps.

Meanwhile we are waiting for Truffle Ruby as a true drop in replacement, that should take lots of Ruby Pain point away. ( Native Image deployment, Better Memory handling and GC, Much faster JIT )
Can confirm this eerie ability of FPGA and h/w folks from another domain (regular expressions - I'm the designer of Hyperscan, a s/w solution).

Every corner case that could be found in s/w was always the topic of a excited benchmark. Also, the old trick of 'hey, let's drop all the matches on the floor in our h/w or FPGA, while getting a huge number of matches in s/w and making the s/w guys look ridiculous'.

Every time I read a paper touting a great new speedup on FPGA (over some crap s/w implementation) I'm reminded of that old joke about the Texan visiting Israel and telling the owner of some small farm that "he can get on a tractor and ride for days without getting the the boundary of his property." The Israeli nods sympathetically and says "Yes, I too used to have a tractor like that".

I agree that it's not necessary, but:

Sockets are generally accepted as the standard. If you want to stream data to another computer, that's pretty much the only way to do it. The solution has been decided already.

A lot of these frameworks live in a space that's still evolving. We, as a community of developers, haven't agreed on the 1 best way to do it. As such, there are multiple offerings. In these cases, I feel it is definitely necessary to now what's underneath, in order to better evaluate ones options.

The Secret of Monkey Island
https://github.com/harthur/nomnom/issues/81

nomnom is no longer maintained, so npm takes the project over, & makes a 2.0.0 update which is empty besides a README saying it's deprecated. Which breaks some packages which have a '>=1.2' version. So npm deletes 2.0.0. Which breaks for people who have had their package.json update from 2.0.0. Even when they'd had a system working with 2.0.0 (not even using nomnom, just a depedency of a dependency for the commandline portion that isn't being used) & were ready to deploy

In Rustland you can't publish a crate with '>=1.2' dependencies

Package management is hard. Ruby gems has had its issues and Go has got itself into a holy war just deciding how best to do dependency management.

However over 2018 we seem to have got to a point where I’m worrying about some basic professional competencies and communication systems inside the npm project. I don’t know much about it, but looking at it from a sideways glance, you have to start worrying about what it is that they’re getting wrong, and how to derail their mistakes in my own team and workflows.

I don't think natosaichek's comment above attempts to explain the paper's observed correlations. Possibilities include that:

1. Examiners who want to get hired in private industry go easy on their future employers' applications. That would explain the linked paper's correlations.

2. Examiners who want to get hired in private industry help create a quagmire of complex procedures that they will then be uniquely qualified to help their employer follow. That also would explain the linked paper's correlations.

3. Examiners who want to get hired in private industry go hard on their future employers' applications. That would not explain the linked paper's result, though it could still be true if some confounding variable (e.g., different approval rates for different fields and types of client, as patentatt speculates) explains the correlation.

Well ideally some 5xx code because it's a server error. I personally think servers should default to 500 if there is an uncaught or unhandled error condition.
There's never just one cockroach.

Likewise, once a technique has been sucessfully used to exploit one piece of software, there's a lot of milage in just trying that technique against everything else.

There's also the "try everything" option of fuzzing; the default tool for this is "afl-fuzz", which is automated once you've set up the target in a suitable configuration.

Generally there are three strategies:

- try to get some executable machine code in from outside and run it (buffer overrun, use-after-free etc)

- look at the set of files and data considered "trusted" and put something untrustworthy in there (XSS, DLL injection, /tmp exploits)

- attack the hardware (JTAG, power analysis, key exfiltration)
Although with webrtc you still need a signaling server and a turn/stun server. It would be interesting to try getting the webrtc stack to work fully serverless by using js-ipfs to exchange ip for stun and then do signaling using js-ipfs with websockets. Then you could open up peer channels to exchange data without using js-ipfs but by using it for the initiation and signaling layers you could potentially setup a pure p2p video chat system or file sharing system.

>global capital is generally solving ecological problems

Global capital is generally responding to consumer preferences, which in the context of housing means high-density structures in walkable and transit-connected areas, which are specifically good. Consumers also have lots of un-ecological preferences, like large vehicles, cheap meat, etc. which are not.

>unsustainable public infrastructure

Car infrastructure is problematic in many ways, but "unsustainable" is the wrong word. We're sustaining it just fine, unlike its alternatives. Empirically, our most important transit systems are incapable of maintaining previously-achieved levels of service for any amount of money, and the costs of implementing new service are escalating for reasons we don't understand such that even minor subway buildout is becoming an existential challenge to the resources of our richest and fastest-growing cities. Give it 30 years, and it's not clear that the collective productivity of all humanity will exceed the cost of a mile of New York City subway track. That's unsustainable. The environmental-friendliness axis is orthogonal.
