Maybe there was still too many people using it when the icon was visible by default, so they decided to hide it so that most people would stop using it.

I still use that button but only to easily find the RSS link because it can be hidden sometimes (I then load it up in another RSS reader).
I suspect some appeal of Electron apps is that the user can't block ads or scripts running in what's basically a website.
Starch and fat, starch and fat, starch and fat, sugar and carbonation, starch and fat... Jesus. Cut out a lot of the fat, add some lean protein and a lot of soluble and insoluble fiber and he might feel better. I’m not shocked though, when I’ve spoken to friends who jumped on the “bad gluten” train I hear similar stories.

My conclusion though, is whatever gets people to eat a bit less and a bit more varied diet is worth it. If they have to believe in spurious causality and it gets them to binge less on garbage, that’s still a win.
You're unquestionably correct. Amazon should spell out in clear, simple, easily accessible language what level of certainty is appropriate for what type of application, giving concrete examples at every point.

With that said, it's possible that no amount of clear guidance would have mattered here. The ACLU isn't exactly asking for better docs.
Show HN: Opensource Musicplayer to Play YouTube, SoundCloud and Mixcloud Tracks
This is great news IMO. Spotify's platform is leagues better than apple music. Also I know they don't have the best track record w/ third party apps but Spotify also offers the most comprehensive API when compared to the other major streaming services. This lets people like me make apps[1] which (I think) attract more subscribers and create a stronger network. That being said I don't know if I would run out and buy the stock... there's still serious competition and the music labels run their business like the mob.

It's worth keeping in mind that WebAssembly can't access the DOM directly; it has to call into JS in order to do that. I haven't investigated it myself but I'd wager that because of this, any performance benefits would be negligible.

WebAssembly also can't access JS object structures directly, which means that the virtual DOM would have to live in WebAssembly land in the first place, ie. anything generated by JS that you want to end up in the DOM would have to be copied over first, or rather, you want all your VDOM-generating code to be WebAssembly code as well if you want the whole thing to be efficient.

But, for instance, the linguistics recommendation is seemingly based on the remarks of one pseudo-anonymous commenter. And it's also hard to give such general recommendations for large subjects. Even at a more generalist level, do you want a really, really general overview of the broadest possible coverage? Or do you want a slightly more focussed overview that actually gets into somewhat more meaning information? Certainly for a course textbook, the former type isn't very useful at all.
It is interesting that neither the talk nor the questions from the audience rise the question of the error handling.

In Go returning an error implies that the caller will need to add 3 lines of the source for each call to propagate the error. This is really ugly. Rust managed to reduce that source overhead down to the single extra ? character while keeping all the benefits of explicit error handling. I wish Go gets something similar.
Sorry, that really wasn't my intent. I thought it to be germane to the issue at hand, though of course, the issues raised by the article participate in a larger ideological nexus.

None of the drops in that chart are even remotely comparable. Even the local maximum to the 52 week low over the course of months is smaller so hardly "way more". Its the largest drop in market cap in a single day ever, so its pretty uncharted territory whether a company can recover or not.
Ah, then I misunderstood you, sorry.

Of course this is a bit of a red herring anyway... As the original commenter remarked already, command line flags may be stored globally (eg. as read-only fields), but won't - and shouldn't - be variables.

They're only given once, and their values aren't going to change throughout the program's running time. So they're essentially constants, which is fine.
I worked at TJ Watson research center at the end of the 20th century but not in a research role or on ML.

It’s weird because IBM spends a lot on research (6 billion when I was there) but they are always trying to get marketable things out of said research. They still had chip fabs when I was there so they had people working on chemistry physics and math for chip things. They had chess playing machines (deep blue) and a backgammon one using ai.

They hired a lot of phds who were for the most part very self motivated. Very smart people. I’m not sure if they are still getting the best and brightest but for a lot the IBM letters are a draw.

I had the same experience with Apple Music. Apple should know what music I enjoy listening to. Spotify rarely disappoints. Apple Music disappointed right out the gate. This completely ignores the confusing nature of Apple Music. Couple that with no ability to import playlists from Spotify, I don't see the benefit.
Having systems like autopilot in planes can make pilots worse at flying because they don't spend as much time practicing at the controls and monitoring what's happening. Then when something goes wrong, they risk not paying close enough attention to catch it, or not being practiced well enough to correct it.

If you get complacent and just assume the computer knows what it's doing (because it usually does) this can and will end very badly.

The person whose Tesla drove into a concrete barrier at 65 mph earlier this year was perfectly capable of driving a car, but they mistakenly believed that the computer had it under control.

I stumbled across a great Spotify feature the other day. If you right click on a playlist, there is an option called "Create similar playlist". I did this with a playlist I had created from a bunch of random tracks. It basically went through track by track and found similar songs. It was a bit hit or miss on some songs, but a neat feature. I think Spotify does a great job because they give you so many options for finding new music, but sometimes you have to dig into the UI to find them.

The official documentation at https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/windows.html says:

Build C++

To build C++ targets, you need:

•The Visual C++ compiler.

Whether the developers gave up on the Mingw64 GCC and Clang toolchains or it's a documentation mistake, this statement places Bazel support for Windows in the "don't touch with a 10' pole" category.

But my point was that adopting Bazel is obviously far more complex than adapting existing build scripts and build script generators for Make, Cmake, Ninja etc to use Clang.

I suggest holding on to the knee jerk reaction till you read the whole post..? I never said these tools will never be worthy of trust and performance at the levels we attribute to humans, but at their current point, there are some tasks that they're not good at because either the tool is limited by design or hardware, or we just haven't found the right solution yet.
LCA is a requirement for H-1B, and thus you are right that it is correct to talk about requirements for LCA as requirements of the H1-B. But, you are wrong that those listed by the GP are indeed requirements for LCA. From the link you posted:

The Labor Condition Application (LCA) contains basic wage
and location information about the proposed H1B employment.
The LCA contains the rate of pay, period of employment, and
work location.

It also contains four standard attestations that the employer
must make.

Those four are listed in the link I posted earlier [1]. 2 out of the 3 the GP listed do not form part of the attestations.

Again, are you confusing LCA [2] with labor certification [3]?

Those problems are pretty easy to solve. By your logic apple should not allow 3G sim cards in iphone either, but they do. And shitty wifi networks should be banned, but they aren't.

Not sure what you mean by 'proper' - but flash video was a step-up from the previous era where websites gave you a choice of either RealVideo or Windows Media formats - the more quirky sites had Quicktime, and you had to have plugins for each [I'm dating myself here].

By virtue of being installed on 98% of all computers, Flash video was a de facto standard video target. One that could be played on Linux without getting into legal grey areas too!

Without Flash looming over them, IE would never have supported cross-platform video - this would have been Microsoft undermining the WMP format.
MSVC would be really great if MSFT could solve their small file io overhead and enabled a mode where I could disable file modification notifications completely. Right now doing any compilation makes the anti viruses go completely crazy.
Why? I've had to spend time to set up a separate laptop with Windows 10 just for iTunes for my wife's mobile.

I get that iTunes is horrible, unintuitive software. (Where's Apple's famed user-centricity? This looks like really developer-centred software. To get to actual information about backups one has to know that there is seemingly only one way of doing so which is to click the small icon of an iPhone in one particular place.) But it's a pain to have to use some insecure second-class operating system just to access it. (I have neither the money nor the interest in setting a MacOS machine just for iTunes.)

There are some bad JS websites, but most of them do have proper bookmarking since pretty much every web framework supports adding multiple pages including forward and back navigation. Browsers are also good enough to handle #links as well within a SPA app. Also, they tend to have faster than typical loading times for navigation within the site.

Flash didn't have any of that, and was much slower to load than modern JS websites.

Just run CI + tests using the release compiler instead of the dev one. Not a big deal.

Also it’s trivial to change the dev compiler when debugging something that might be a compiler error (it never is though).

From the appendix, it sounds like amphibians at least may still outweigh humans. They guess 1 amphibian per square meter over the entire non-ice covered terrestrial surface to get .1 Gt C. Which puts the other weights into perspective...

For reptiles, different estimates range from 0.00005 Gt C to .5 Gt C. They say their best guess is .003 Gt C (compared to .007 Gt C for wild mammals).

Edit: I wonder if they might be somewhat underestimating the mass of rodents.

“Jill makes a fantastic role model…because she is married, has two children and has been able to keep up with her research.” It’s hard to imagine anyone saying this about a scientist named Bill.

I'm actually cool with the Finkbeiner Test being a thing. But I will note that there are reasons such things get talked about.

I was one of the top ranked students of my graduating high school class. With having also been State Alternate for The Governor's Honors Program -- a live in summer enrichment program for the gifted -- I was one of the best students in my entire state. And I turned down a National Merit Scholarship, attended the local college for a bit, quit school and spent a couple of decades as a full-time mom and homemaker.

I spent a lot of years trying to figure out why I failed to get the two career couple lifestyle I fully expected when I first got married. There were a lot of factors there, but a lot of it is rooted in old fashioned gender roles.

I'm handicapped. This is a contributing factor to my lack of a real career. But Stephen Hawking was also seriously handicapped. He had a real career.

I have two special needs kids. So do lots of men with serious careers. When there are special needs in the family, it is typically some woman who ends up with the task of dealing with it.

I was a military wife and the entire military structure is rooted in a historical expectation that men are soldiers, they are heterosexual and have a wife at home and she is largely doing the homemaker thing and supporting his career. This actually works fairly well in many ways -- until you get divorced and find you have no references for a resume because you have little work experience, you moved around, you didn't keep in touch, etc. Meanwhile, the ex still works for the government doing similar work to what he did when he was active duty military and his finances are just fine, judging by the big house, new wife, nice vehicles, etc.

So part of why we mention those things is because a lot of women -- me included -- sit around wondering "What the hell do I need to do different? Is it just not possible to be married and also have a serious career as a woman? How does this work?" So it's valuable information to know that, yes, there are married women with actual careers. And then the next question is "So, okay, what is different about their marriage compared to mine? What do I need to change here if I am ever going to stop being a second class citizen?"

And that's not something you really want to ask personal acquaintances. That's a good way to find yourself blacklisted, so to speak. So we go searching articles and hoping for crumbs of clues.

My social circles use it because it provides a consistent experience. Some have androids, and some have iPhones. When you have an all iPhone group chat, things work rather well. Liking different texts, animations, etc work well. But when you add a non-iPhone to the mix, the texts are sent sms-style, so you get messages that say "Sam liked X's comment!".

It's easier for everyone to use WhatsApp, because that platform provides a consistent experience. Also I can search messages in WhatsApp, I can't find this in iMessage.

The 'WASM is the new flash' argument only succeeds if you conflate at least all of WASM, canvas, webgl, webaudio, websockets and several other APIs and call it all 'WASM.' That is misleading in my mind. All of this stuff was developed independently of WASM and is usable without WASM.

> It is meaningless to say that WASM is different because of this.

Flash can and did extend the browser in arbitrary ways. WASM is operating within a standards regime and relies on standards based capabilities. We need not worry, for instance, that WASM is going to independently implement an API for some peripheral (camera, microphone, etc.) that duplicates or supplants some existing, standards based browser capability. While that remains true there is a demonstrative difference.
It's very subjective, but I've been comparing the "create a station" from a spotify playlist to Pandora for a while, and just find more music that I both like and have never heard of from Pandora than spotify. Then I generally add the tracks I like best to a spotify playlist.

On the other hand, Pandora, it feels like has recently been making picks that somewhat mush your likes and seeds from all your stations together.

As far a I can tell from the article, Conway doesn't prove the existence of free will at all, not even attempt to do so. Instead he explores what the implications of free will would be if it exists.

And despite the claim to the contrary, his definition of "free will" isn't appreciably different from randomness, only he uses the word "randomness" to mean pseudorandomness, so he sticks the term "free will" on true randomness.

An interesting contribution to quantum physics, presumably, but not a proof of free will.

It's not dangerous and unethical if humans are there to pass final judgment on the answers. I was saying we can get to point where we might not even need that.

To me the key is how you use the system. I like the idea of using this not to help but second guess the doctor. The doctor has to make their own diagnosis. If Watson differs a arbiter has to look at it. This obviously optimizes for quality and not cost.
