> Or you could have them click once to link to the Web Store, and a second click to install the extension. Still two clicks.

Counting clicks isn't taking into account the user experience when inline install is used properly. The intended use for inline install as far as I see is you have a website with a "add to Chrome" button for your extension, you click that, read the permissions and click "install". When you're redirected to an entirely new page instead and the user has to hunt for the install button, the user experience isn't quite as good.

> - Your ability to launch the extension install prompt without user consent, which is bad.

This doesn't appear to be the intended use.

> - Your ability to hide the reviews and other details on the Web Store page, which is bad.

Inline install shows the average rating and a link to get more details. The store pages don't show the reviews unless you click on the "reviews" tab either.
He is stating a valid concern that were not pronounced. So while we don't have a solution to the problem at hand, It helps us to think twice before any usage of it.
edit: See below...can probably ignore this post

In that post you linked, you wrote this:

> That discussion was ongoing when OpenBSD caught wind of this – presumably because someone who was embargoed felt that OpenBSD deserved to know

In the email by Theo linked above he wrote this:

> In some forums, Bryan Cantrill is crafting a fiction.

> He is saying the FPU problem (and other problems) were received
as a leak.

> He is not being truthful, inventing a storyline, and has not asked me for the facts.

> This was discovered by guessing Intel made a mistake.

It's pretty clear that he is referring to your presumption that someone under the embargo told them as being the "crafting a fiction". Maybe you should simply follow up either with evidence supporting that presumption (if it exists) or just a clear statement it is only a presumption and that you simply just don't believe they found it independently. (To be clear, for your average person the latter claim wouldn't hold much weight, but your words are respected more than most so the presumption wouldn't necessarily be immediately ignored even if it had no backing evidence.)

edit: Sorry I just saw this post of yours lower in the thread:

https://lobste.rs/s/zwkuza/intel_cpus_might_leak_information...

> What I am saying is that however Theo obtained information – and indeed, even if that information didn’t originate with the leak but rather by “guessing” as he is now apparently claiming – how he handled it was not responsible. And I am also saying that Theo’s irresponsibility has made the job of including OpenBSD more difficult.

So I guess there's not much more for you to say. You've said you don't believe him, but you've also indicated you don't really have the evidence (other than your experience). Seems fine to me.

This response managed to say very little and just give excuses for the current state of things.

>Nonsense - web programming is inherently tied to the browser, which severely limits debugging and output options.

Web programming includes cli and server side tools (Node for one, JS testing tools, etc), has several first class logging SaaS and locally installed options, and even has stuff like the developer tools protocol, which allows one to debug Chrome running code in VS Code for example...

That's merely an "ability", it's by no means a "common feature" in dynamic languages to have different output options in the example of e.g. console.table() (which itself is limited anyway).

>So, it sounds like you want a debugging library you can include in the language you are using to output structured debug lines and a client side that goes along with it to represent the usefully (or just use text+JSON and a JSON aware client), and to just stick it on top of syslog.

Except the most important thing: that ability to be included as standard, readily available, and well supported in languages.

Yes, sadly I rolled my own engine directly on top of Java/OpenGL, rather than using something pre-existing. (There were some decent reasons for it considering how specialized the visuals I'm working with are—but it was a big mistake over all. Should've done it in a more prototype-y fashion).

To code the animations I use something in the engine which resembles CSS transitions and can be attached to arbitrary Java objects, which I call 'property modulators'. So most of the animation you see comes from setting up one of those on one property or another.
It might not have happened through the work laptop. Did you give the bird rescue your contact info, or even just call them before showing up? If their phone has the facebook app on it, then facebook knows you were in touch with them the other day. They already know your phone number, because by now several of your friends and relatives (if not you or your wife) have given facebook permission to import all their contacts.
That's more or less what happened. The supplier of the rockets were Russian and they basically screwed with him. And now, SpaceX.
I agree with all of that. Personally I don't even use a smart phone because of the lack of controls over knowing what or who is tracking whatever crazy shit. I either carry a laptop or a netbook when I go places, which isn't perfect still, but with proper precautions is fairly secure.

I don't do anything im worried about people finding out, but that doesn't mean I want to let them listen in either. Maybe if someone was upfront about it from the beginning or showed us what they were truly doing, but seeing how shady it all seems to be makes me assume they are doing shady shit with it.
Personally I prefer lattice which is syntactically very similar to ggplot but produces graphics which are more aesthetically pleasant IMO.

As a researcher who has work "featured" here, I am confused.

I was going across the projects and found my own - "Quasi-Recurrent Neural Network"[1]. I was interested to see what type of model would be trained as the QRNN is a component, not a model. Upon clicking it, I'm shown the README I wrote on GitHub and a "Get model" button that takes you to the Github repo where I know there isn't a model.

This is true for other projects I looked at.

A model zoo without the models seems misleading especially when the claim is "Model Zoo - Pretrained deep learning models" ...

Mixed with already having an Advertise button gets me a little concerned.

Bitcoin as a great transaction medium WAS the strategy in the early years. This was the big promise.

As price and transaction fees rose the transaction medium for everyday things(like me paying for Namecheap hosting/domains in BTC in 2013) went away.

Many big vendors such as Steam actually stopped accepting BTC directly(or through 1 step processor such as Bitpay). It was too much trouble/risk and annoyed customers.

Cheaper/safer/more convenient than bank transfers. That Bitcoin promise has not been fulfilled.

SEPA is way cheaper/more convenient/safer than Bitcoin in Europe. Even in countries with troubled banking systems such as Venezuela, it is not normal to pay for regular items with BTC.

So Bitcoin "pivoted" to store-of-value strategy. Promise that offchain solutions like LN will handle transactions "any day now".

Hilariously Bitcoin.org just put back the low-fees part.

Why we hated NoSQL MongoDB and moved to PostgreSQL?
We have some real solid reasons to do so. Listed below,

> Postgres has a strongly typed schema that leaves very little room for errors. You first create the schema for a table and then add rows to the table.

> You can change tables in PostgreSQL without requiring to lock it for every operation. For example, you can add a column and set a default value quickly without locking the entire table.

> Postgres also supports JSONB, which lets you create unstructured data, but with data constraint and validation functions to help ensure that JSON documents are more meaningful.

> Our database size reduced by 10x since Postgres stores information more efficiently and data aren't unnecessarily duplicated across tables.

> We found that Postgres performed much better for indexes and joins and our service became faster and snappier as a result.

I read King and Koontz during my teens, my two favourite books of each author are 'It' by King and 'Phantoms' by Koontz, I actually read 'It' first and thought Koontz had been inspired by King given how they were quite similar, however I learned later that Koontz Phantoms was published in 1983, while It was published in 1986, so I guess that if anyone was inspired by the other it was King.

>Just to be fair, C is also a horrible name. On the other end of the spectrum - Julia and Rust are excellent names for a programming language because they're unique in the context of programming.

Funny enough I most often get wrong results when googling something Rust related, because there's a town called Rust (Germany), so Google pushes the location based results up, and rust is also, well, oxidized metal, so sometimes I get DIY pages as a result.

I love pretty much every other design decision about Rust, but it's the one "hard" to Google language in my experience.

I had a girlfriend who'd had her tonsils out as a child. She was an emotional wreck. I got her some bodywork (massage/etc), which she could have had as a child to prevent the surgery, and she's doing much better these days. She's still a firecracker; I'm glad she's living in the next state over....

Hopefully someday the medical profession will figure out how to treat the cause of tonsil problems, instead of treating the symptom.
The explanation of Big O in Grokking Algorithms was clearest for me. It doesn't assume any knowledge and even re-introduces logarithms and binary search before using them in examples:

Only barely related but I have a personal story about this!

I had my tonsils removed at eleven years old. I didn't know why then, and I still don't now.

I suffer quite a bit now from allergies (I'm not sure how related to this it is, and I guess I've no way of knowing really).

I remember being really scared, and the surgeon playfully telling me that I'd be fine, I'd be asleep through the whole thing and would wake up back on the ward (with ice cream!) and barely even know it was over. I was told that I should count to ten while they issue the anaesthetic. I was unconcious by seven.

The next thing I remember is waking up really disorientated, in a different room, and could only see blurred grey shapes. I've never been in such pain before or since. I shut my eyes and bit down hard into the white hospital pillow while screaming.

An unfamiliar voice shouted angrily at me that I wasn't supposed to be awake yet. I opened my eyes as the pillow felt wet only to realise that it had turned completely red. It felt like someone had cut my throat out.

My mother (having been advised that I'd be asleep for hours) had gone to get a coffee and was completely unaware that any of this had happened. For reasons that were never explained, the nurse wouldn't take me out of the room and my mum wasn't informed until a couple of hours later when I was wheeled back out onto the ward.

I had to stay in hospital for another two days as a result of what went wrong (haven't a clue to this day what that was exactly), and was bloody terrified.

Anyway, long story short is that when the bleeding eventually stopped I finally got some ice cream. It was warm, it tasted bad, and it was entirely not worth it.

In summary, surgery could well be correct for you and/or your child if a competent professional has analysed and considered your case and health outcomes, but I don't recommend that anyone allow themselves or their children to be mutilated without any explanation at all in exchange for sweet treats.

I have a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old. 1/2 a meal or even a meal is just a situation that requires actual parenting. But the shift from the norm (the stress) is enough to give a faint idea about what a serious situation hunger can be.

Experiencing actual starvation, especially in your children, potentially even deaths of family members by starvation, now that is real hell. Such experiences change people permanently.

If a population experiences this, it is very commonly followed by war within their lifetimes. Without the hunger caused by hyperinflation in Germany in the early 20's, I serioulsy doubt that they would have followed Hitler.

It may even be that Hitler would never have become the monster he was without that period.

I'm very grateful that Google puts its weight behind many of the recent improvements to the Internet, even if some would argue that it's abusing its dominant market position.

What I'm worried about is that, in the QUIC case, the ISPs do have a valid reason to traffic shape UDP, at least in the name of making the network usable under load. There are too much uncontrollable UDP traffic that ISPs can do little about other than just dropping them altogether.

> IQ tests are far from perfect and I think everyone agrees they are a woeful indicator of success.

I don't know many people that agree with this. At least in my bubble, the great majority regard IQ tests as bunk and the rest regard IQ as just a very roundabout way of measuring the education level of a child's parents. (There's some disagreement whether the father's level of education is the most important factor [1] or the mother's education level is [2]).) It's only in a select few internet forums dominated by a select few types of people where IQ is taken seriously and even obsessed over.

Putting aside the wholly made-up g factor, what we've been seeing in the West for the last 30 years is rapidly increasing inequality in educational attainment. Severe cuts in education at both the public level and the private level (see, eg, the extraordinary rise of single mothers in both the US and EU and parents with multiple jobs) means that many children are simply getting less education than they did 30 years ago.

Note that this does not apply to the knowledge elite who go to extraordinary measures to educate their children. It's quite likely that the children of today's elite are the most educated children in the history of the planet. I know a few parents who have budgeted a million dollars for the education of each of their children.

The Flynn Effect was likely nothing more than the result of the extraordinary and broad-based increase in wealth we saw from 1900 to 1980. Since 1980 virtually all of the growth is being captured by the elites so it's not surprising at all that we'd see a similar reversal in the Flynn Effect.
