this is why (esp w/ js) I always use the google search w/in the past year feature. When looking for src code for ideas on ghub, I always sort by last updated or most starred but make sure the ones I check have been updated in past year... etc... Standards change so fast, and I feel coding is getting 'better' in terms of processes, that doing it like they did in 2015 is a step back sometimes, plus js itself has changed a lot, so has laravel, and other frameworks. Always good to get the latest data on something.

As a side note, I've found some 'gems' from tutorials that I knew were shitty novices or intermediate devs at best just writing to expand their career or do inbound marketing or something, but they made me think about a solution to something differently, or they touched on something I didn't know anything about, having never done it before like some api or auth system.

TLDR: I think with all tutorials it's buyer beware - especially coding tutorials, filter by date, don't expect perfect 10x dev tips unless you're on egghead, laracasts, railscasts, pluralsight (some other coding mooc that claims master level expertise), and if you write posts as a jr/intermediate dev, maybe try coming back to them when you 'level up' and make them better/more relevant.
Are you talking tech stack? I'm a big fan of Spring Boot 2 with Kotlin for backends and React with SSR via next.js for client-side.
He identified his threat model (other tabs + addons doing something shady) and made a security assessment based off of it.

You're here bullshitting that he needs "true security" like he's dealing with APTs trying to access his bank account. He's not. He's concerned about other tabs + addons, and private browsing mode is a solution with the slightest friction for his threat model.

Please, in the future, try making security assessments based on the actual threat model.

EDIT: "threat" instead of "thread".

My extended family got into a fairly drawn-out kerfuffle over some stocks my dad had, and how the trust they were put in ought to be distributed between the various children and grandchildren.

I don't think Wittgenstein was ignored (especially not his later work) they just had different goals.

Interesting though experiment:
Let S be the set of all humans. Remove any human from S who had at least one pair of ancestors (no matter how far in the past) that had a boss/subordinate relationship that is now deemed 'inappropriate' in large western countries. How many humans would be left in S?

Conjecture: Zero.

Does that say anything interesting about humans?

The problem wasn't that she was a coworker. It was that she was a subordinate.

Nobody cares if two engineers hook up, but it's a Very Bad Thing if your boss starts putting the moves on you. Relationships where one person holds real-world power over another are prone to exploitation and violation of consent.

You just keep asking “why” until you hit axioms.

In a dictionary, all the words are defined by other words.

Observe that all experience is subjective, anyone can have any set of axioms they like and “voila”, there can be no “objective” truth.

It’s true in this kind of tautological way, and kind of interesting.

On the other hand no one I know truly acts as though this is true. Also I think the world is a lot more interesting and frankly simpler to think about if you assume objective truths exist.

There’s almost always some complicating factor we don’t know about in cases like this: I would bet that blackmail was involved, he tried to cover it up, and the board felt they couldn’t trust him as a result of the cover-up. Because you’re right; most companies would just include the lower level employee in a round of layoffs and pay them a couple years salary to stay quiet about it all.

I feel companies are getting a #MeToo pass in cases like this: Wall Street hasn’t been holding companies responsible for the bad personal behavior of execs if those companies address the issues proactively. Investors are only punishing them if the problems are representative of the overall culture; and in this case that does not seem to be the case.

But I’m almost certain that he wouldn’t have been fired without lying to the board in a coverup. Violating fraternization policies usually isn’t a firable offense — a CEO only gets fired when the board of directors loses the ability to trust them.
Yeah, the "for the mortgage" guy is way worse in my book.

Because he is just as immoral as the other guy, but he's dishonest about it.

The guy who just doesn't care as long as he gets his paycheck, I get him. His motives are clear. I can count on him to act in that manner.

The guy who rationalizes his decisions so he can sleep at night. He can do anything. He will come up with some story to make himself feel not so bad about what he does.

And I think it was a very valid concern. I put off upgrading my gaming tower to 4K for another 2-3 years last year when prices were insane, and instead got an xbox one x. I know that all the games would run better on my pc but when the marginal cost is so much higher to upgrade my GPU that it’s frankly more than good enough.
That is not an accurate restatement of the policy.
'Application' can be backward compatible with documents just fine. That does not mean a new category 'Document' that has reduced capability is useless.

Banking websites for example don't need to be Applications and added protection for cross-site scripting etc. would be beneficial. Restrict things further and you default to supporting screen readers etc.

Out of curiosity, what is the future of PyMC3 since development on Theano was halted? I used PyMC very extensively in my dissertation work (both 2 and 3) and even implemented some custom samplers for it, but when I heard the devs of Theano were stopping work I knew that was gonna be pretty problematic for PyMC at some point down the road.
The policy only applies to people who directly or indirectly report to you.

If you're CEO, yeah that means you can't date anyone at work. But for anyone else it only eliminates some % of the dating pool.

>If you'd like an interesting exercise in the power of marketing, go to a dealer and look under the hood of a new full-sized truck. Note how much space there is between the top of the engine and the hood when it's closed. Then imagine the fuel economy gains if the hood was lower, and the visibility gains of both the driver and all the cars around the truck. The tall hood only exists to make the truck look more butch, and makes the truck worse in every way.

That's actually because of the increasing safety standards regarding pedestrian safety more than anything; regulations require a minium amount of space between the hood and the engine to act as a crumble zone. And automakers aren't exactly a fan of this either, it screws with both aerodynamics and aesthetics.

Unfortunately safety and eco standards are at odds with each other. You can either have a light, small car that crumples into a pointy tin can, or a reinforced behemoth with more air bags than an air mattress depot that gets 10 mpg. And at least with the former you can also get a fun car to drive, the latter is just an ugly barge with blindspots to match
why is your edit any more or less "confusing to read"
I agree with you when you say fairness is fuzzy. Though this implies that there are no set of rules that define it, that also means there is no way to train on it. By choosing the right features and utilizing it in the right way I believe you can avoid putting people in bad situations for bad reasons. I'm saying, if you train an algorithm to guess if someone is involved with crime, it's going to be incredibly stereotypical with it's answers. Same as if you rely completely on statistics.

I'm not actually saying hardcore all your rules. I was making an example that if you really know exactly what fairness is, then program it. But we both don't know there are no definite rules. So why hardcode at all?

I think it is never the ML that is "unfair", it's the one who made it who is responsible. If you're finding yourself running into issues in your ML with unfairness, I think you're just using it wrong.

EDIT: Rewording last sentence
I’m not saying that 1<<x is generally meaningless. I’m saying that whenever the shift operand is negative, it’s meaningless. Just like log(x) isn’t generally meaningless, it’s only meaningless when the argument is not positive.

Syntactic constructs in general should and do have meaning. The meaning isn’t inherent, but nothing has inherent meaning. log(x) has no inherent meaning, but when x is positive we have decided that it means that it evaluates to the value to which you would raise 10 to get x.

Bad run-time values only cause UB in the context of improper usage in syntactic constructs. They aren’t independent of syntactic constructs: both syntactic constructs and values dictate behavior.

You’re right that UB only manifests itself at run-time. And you’re right that we wouldn’t need to use UB for constructs that only manifest their behavior at compile-time. Indeed, there exists syntactically valid yet meaningless C++ template substitutions that don’t result in UB, they result in compilation errors.

As a freelancer, I'm currently lazy and low on clients, but someday I plan on beefing up my tutorial landscape for the sake of inbound marketing.

Well the obvious literal answer is that the subordinate can't exploit the organizational power dynamic the way someone the CEO can, and misbehavior of a CEO brings bad press and dysfunction to hurt the company in a way that a random employee can't. But I'm sure that isn't relevant. The obvious true answer is that the board wanted to get rid of the CEO, didn't care about the affair, but used it as an excuse.
To answer some of your questions, one reason why the area has seen so much active research in the past 30 years -- and there's been a lot -- is that the human cellular pathways that respond to cannabis are extremely far-reaching and far more interesting. To this end, there has indeed been a great deal of synthetic chemistry to experiment with and manipulate these pathways.

>Besides semi-synthetics, which would be a long and hard road, there's also adjunct therapy, or did those studies actually include using cannabis chemicals in addition to the standard ones?

Interestingly, you can find examples of both adjunct and comparator studies, which are usually blinded in some way to reduce stigma or bias. (If anything, the bias tends to favor cannabis-consuming patients, since it's hard to hide the fact that the pill you just took in a "blinded" clinical trial is making you high.)

A decent summary of some of the clinical data is here: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/hp/cannabi... .

I do feel your pain with these crappy tutorials, and many of them are glorified blogspam or recycling/reheats of the same thing you could have already found out by reading the docs. There's no depth, no referencing of documentation, very little reasoning about why the thing you're explaining works.

That said...ideally if the author abides by (1) do proper research and (2) "Your tutorial can be reviewed by other brilliant engineers who can point out your mistakes" then there's no reason why you couldn't produce a reasonable quality tutorial in this way.

I think this article is written for developers/engineers who's overall skill level and expertise is a cut above inexperienced folks who're just starting out. i.e. you know how to research, you have a working familiarity with the tech stack you're working with (and broader awareness of other tech stacks), you know how to ask a "good question" on Stack Overflow (or have read and understood Jon Skeet's "Writing the perfect question" article[0]).

If anything, Spectre class attacks really showed how hard it is to properly sandbox arbitrary programs.

Yes, the CPUs are complex, but the attacks happen on a high conceptual level, level at which the CPU is fairly simple. It's not like they rely on an obscure detail or bug.

No one (publicly) figured those out for 2 decades when the involved ideas (speculation, cache timings) are well known, common and did not change.

This indicates that for something with such a large surface as the various web standards, where both the spec and the implementations are changing all the time, there is very little hope.
Nothing you said is wrong but your argument is based on the incorrect assumption that they're talking about high-end GPUs.

Packaging is absolutely necessary for convenience and safety. You can't sell raw meat without a package, for instance; that idea is absurd and stupid. Do you really want to go back to the days when people were constantly suffering from and dying of easily-prevented food-borne illnesses?

For non-food items, packaging is necessary to minimize breakage in shipping. How much more garbage would there be if half the manufactured items were broken in transit?

Recycling is the proper answer to the proliferation of packaging. That we, as a society, aren't setting things up properly to facilitate this and minimize landfilling is our own failure, not that of the Chinese. There is absolutely no reason we can't have companies building large plants to collect recyclables and automatedly sort them and break them down for reprocessing into new packaging. If this isn't happening, it's because of a failure of governance.

I'm not sure if this story counts, but what the hey.

I worked for a web development firm as my first job out of college, and one of our clients was MannaRelief. We were tasked with building the part of their online presence than handled donations via check, credit card, etc.

I didn't look into their business model for a long time, but when I eventually got curious, I realized that they (well, their parent company, MannaTech) basically peddled sugar pills to the parents of children with severe disabilities, making all sorts of promises (some vague enough to pass FDA muster, and some not.)

I'm not sure what I should have done differently, but the ethical compromise I came to was donating all the money I made working for them to St. Jude's hospital - since we billed clients hourly, it was pretty easy to figure out exactly how much tainted money was in my paycheck every week.

Fuck MannaTech, and fuck MannaRelief. Feel free to read up on them and their various run-ins with the law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannatech

Bonus fun fact: we inherited this project from someone else, and at the time, they were storing all billing data completely unencrypted, in clear text. Their production server was some windows box somewhere, running some older version of some SQL database. I kept pushing them to upgrade this, since a) not only was it a flagrant security risk, but also b) violated their agreement with their card processor and put them at risk of not being able to accept donations at all. Naturally, "it wasn't in the budget" until they discovered that the machine had been compromised for weeks, and the entire database had been exfiltrated repeatedly. Suddenly, we had the budget to start doing things the correct way.
I always love when you guys drop the “best tool for the job” routine, and say how you really feel. ;)
But they are inherently addictive (as in, they are meant to be and it is widely known that they are). You generally want to limit children's exposure to addictive things that bring them nothing at all. It's their formative years, after all.
