This is the difficult truth. But outright it's like telling a severely depressed 120 lb man who can barely get out of bed he needs to start weightlifting, so we get these threads and these ideas.

Spiritual health is literally the most important need of any intelligent human, and yet it's incredibly hard to achieve in our current culture. We're a nation of drugged out, traumatized zombies starving for answers, and the loudest voices belong to snakes and idiots. It's an absolute disaster.

The first baby step of a solution is allowing and encouraging people to discover and to speak plainly about what is Good, what is Beauty, what are our obligations to ourselves and others, and why.

But everyone's brains are fried. They've simply accepted the ambient dull-minded morality seeped into our cultural fabric by a host of unmoral forces (and a few immoral), and the process of spiritual development for many has become a weakly cathartic but useless raging at the failure of their community to succeed within this framework. Then they're told: when this exhausts you, reach for the pill bottle.

It's incredibly sad.

I guess I've never run into issues where a map or filter slowed me down for debugging, most languages will pretty easily show you where the error occurred. And if you're `map`ping and `filter`ing with pure functions, debugging is pretty simple because you just need the input that went into the buggy function. A good compiler will also optimize the closures into something you'd write by hand in Go. Overall I'm glad to see Go get these nice tools for more easily working with collections.
To be clear skinhead is sort of ambiguous. I'm reading neonazi and I think you meant neonazi but people do actually use the term to mean other things it seems.

If you mean neonazi I would for no reason I can imagine tolerate them. Would you tolerate someone who hated and wanted to subjugate or murder some portion of your loved ones because they were polite at work so they could earn a living?
It does. Someone will be along to kill it shortly. Also I think when you have enough karma, you can flag comments for review.

That's a silly caricature. I could retort "I see as a negative if my development environment takes 40GB of RAM and half an hour to boot up" and it would be on the same level.

Debuggers are great but they're not always practical, for instance for debugging remote targets with limited connectivity. Actually in some situations you may end up having to buy expensive licenses for closed source software to run a debugger on certain hardware (although that might not be a concern for Go).

I'm also of the opinion that firing the debugger as soon as something unexpected happens instead of taking 10 seconds to reason about your code might lead you to miss a more general problem with your architecture as you focus solely on the symptoms, but that's of course a lot more subjective and your experience may vary. Personally I generally tend to use debuggers as a last recourse when I really can't make sense of what's going on through "static" analysis.

Why the Internet has a Problem
> it gets basically everything right.

Almost everything :) It says that there needs to be a separated, protected bike lane on every road that has a maximum speed over 30 km/h. This is not true (and pretty infeasible, too). The vast majority of average boring roads in residential areas have a 50 km/h maximum speed and no separated bike lanes (and often, if the road is small/quiet enough, not a marked bike lane at all). Most countryside roads have a 80 km/h maximum speed and no bike lanes.

I bet some details were left out that accidentally made it incorrect. I can imagine that there's some law/guideline going on that if a road is particularly busy, then it needs to be either max 30 kph or have separated bike lanes. But most suburban roads or countryside aren't particularly busy.
Yes I did all the plans and sketches but then hired an architectural draftsperson to draw up plans to the local building control body's requirements. The actual plumbing and electrical work was subcontracted out. In Australia you can't DIY - you need to be licensed for those trades.

I had previously worked on a renovation project, helped a family member build a house from scratch and worked for an electrical contractor. It also helped that I had experience as a project manager on large infrastructure projects.

Literature is dead, right. This guy must have not heard about Twitter sagas, those threads with mystery narrations which develop in real time and get hundreds of thousands of retweets.

We may not like our nineteen-century three-volume encyclopedic novels nicely packaged in dead-tree bricks anymore, but popular fictional writing is alive and well as it adapts to the possibilities of the new media, where immediacy is a primal element.

Literature didn't even become popular as novels in the first place; many popular works were published as serials in newspapers, and before that there were booklets and romances. The article strikes me as a yell of nostalgia for a particular dying format.
奥媒:普京男子气概性格可爱 在西方国家大受欢迎
原标题：男子气概、反霸权、性格可爱。。。。。。奥地利媒体称普京因此在西方国家大受欢迎

[环球网报道 记者 朱佩]俄罗斯总统普京不仅在俄罗斯境内拥有极高的威信和支持率，其在西方国家也有不少“粉丝”。俄新社8月29日援引奥地利《标准报》报道称，普京在西方国家大受欢迎，喜欢他的人包括持不同政治观点的代表。

该报称，奥地利自由党、德国选择党和德国国民阵线党特别喜欢普京。在美国指责俄罗斯干预美国大选（俄方否认）之前，普京在美国共和党中也有很高声望。所以奥地利外长卡琳•克奈斯尔邀请普京出席自己的婚礼。（普京8月18日出席了克奈斯尔与迈林格的婚礼。普京向新人赠送了一幅乡村油画、一架老式榨油机和一个图拉茶炊，用德语表示了祝福并和新娘跳了一支舞。）
Just make it so that your browser doesn't render any http delivered content. Problem solved. From a client point of view that's the only protection you can do. A MITM over http is undetectable for you. With current OSes and hardware there is no sandboxing which will protect you under all circumstances.

If you do this, site providers are forced to switch to https anyway.

Architects dream ... builder's nightmare !
Yeah that's a bit shit nowadays; I've almost hit a cyclist at a roundabout the other day because he was behind one of the pillars, staying behind there thanks to the combination of his and my speeds. Always check twice.
Absolutely.

First, try to understand a process. Draw it. Imagine going through the process of building it. Draw it again. Look at your friend's house to see how it is different. Try to imagine how that one was built.

I have an interesting tale of how the patio door installer almost caused my kitchen countertops to be installed 2 inches lower. The story is a bit convoluted because many things are tied together in the house. You have levels for your foundations, sills, door bottoms, door tops, window tops, subfloors, and floors. Different layers have different widths. Wood flooring ends up being a certain width, and tile flooring another. If you want things to be flush when you're done, you need to plan everything meticulously, backwards, across months of time and different crews.

Moral of the story: pay attention to the levels of everything, across the house, all the time, in one place. Double-check this and verify all the time.
The key for me is making the query _slightly_ more descriptive. It's a good thing that it's not tracking me, so it's fair enough that I should type a bit more so that it knows I mean Ruby the language and not the gemstone.
The narrative is that an illegal party drug seems to have potential as a psychiatric tool, but this is was it was before it became a party drug.

The disinhibition and mental clarity allows people to open up, "break out of their shell" and talk honestly about themselves and their feelings. And it does this immediately and with ease. It's really something special.

From Wikipedia:

Shulgin was impressed with the drug's disinhibiting effects and thought it could be useful in therapy. Believing MDMA allowed users to strip away habits and perceive the world clearly, Shulgin called the drug "window". Shulgin occasionally used MDMA for relaxation, referring to it as "my low-calorie martini", and gave the drug to friends, researchers, and others who he thought could benefit from it. One such person was Leo Zeff, a psychotherapist who had been known to use psychedelic substances in his practice. When he tried the drug in 1977, Zeff was impressed with the effects of MDMA and came out of his semi-retirement to promote its use in therapy. Over the following years, Zeff traveled around the United States and occasionally to Europe, eventually training an estimated four thousand psychotherapists in the therapeutic use of MDMA. Zeff named the drug "Adam", believing it put users in a state of primordial innocence.

Re: whether or not it works at scale, it seems to have worked for Irish-Americans. It took awhile between the height of Irish immigration and the present day, but unlike in the 19th Century you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone unironically demanding Irish people to be deported or claiming Irish immigrants are stealing jobs. Similar deal for other previously-persecuted European immigrants and their descendants (Italians and Germans both come to mind). Asians are getting to that point, too; not really free of discrimination/prejudice, but even my most hatefully-racist acquaintances seem to at least tolerate their existence.

None of the above groups (to my knowledge) were all that socially disruptive (at least not intentionally); instead, they gradually integrated and blended with the existing demographics. Instead of Irish or German or Italian or English or French or Polish or Russian or what have you, we ended up with kind of a blended European demographic. I have a feeling Asians are on track to be part of that, too, and end up in a sort of blended "Eurasian" demographic. We ain't quite there yet, but I'd give it a couple decades before we are.
Zircle-ui a frontend library to develop zoomable UIs
The property you're looking for is called robustness. An algorithm that works with predictable results from many initial starting conditions without failure modes is called robust.

Biological systems, unlike computers, are usually extremely robust. It is not just one feedback, it is a highly complex set of multidimensional interacting feedback loops all around. Randomness and chaos are also crucial in some of these systems.
And most of them actually are coded and not trained - but coded to be robust and adaptive.

The whole staging of development is likely either a side effect of this property or an additional cause of it.

You cannot truly reset any nontrivial (Esp. Nonlinear) unknown system with feedback where you don't have the direct access to states. This has nothing to do with training and everything to do with control theoretic property of observability.

Hi everyone! let me introduce zircle-ui to you (v1.0.1).

Zircle-ui is the first Open Source Project I've made and it was possible thanks to the Open Source community In retribution, I've created a project of the highest quality I could along with a detailed documentation, examples and a tutorial.

Zircle-ui intends to promote approach in the universe of UIs. My main motivation is believing there is room for a new UI/UX not constrained to grid layouts or to squared shapes. Zircle-ui was inspired by the idea underneath some really awesome projects like prezi, impress.js, tizen, zoomooz, google maps, bootstrap, UIKit and bulma among others.

You can try zircle-ui to develop a wide range of applications, such as: dashboards, health/fitness trackers, IOT hubs or controllers, contact management, information and entertainment, interactive menus, etc. In general, using zircle-ui should be fine if your application is highly interactive and you need to intuitively view and control information without loosing the user’s attention.

To have an idea of what it can be achieve with zircle-ui I made a smarthome dashboard concept.
You can see the source files in its repo (https://github.com/zircleUI/smarthome-tutorial)

Let us say person C1 says:
"If person A1 preaches/supports discrimination/intolerance based on his/her belief, person A1 cannot complain about discrimination or intolerance he/she faces. One cannot say I should not be discriminated on any criteria, but I can discriminate others with some criteria which the other doesn't agree.

A person B1 can have a moral compass that people should be treated as they treat others. In which case person B1 may be totally fine being discriminatory/intolerant toward A1 because of A1's intolerant/discriminatory behaviour. Person B1 will be total toleralant towards others and will be considered a tolerant person".

Now is person C1 preaching intolerance/discrimination? Perhaps not, as Person C1 is preaching "treat others as you want to be treated" and may lead to "intolerance toward intolerance only".

Maybe there are logical flaws in the above argument as most spiritual people will not preach intolerance towards even A1. However I assume the spiritual person will not hesitate to point out to A1 about "treat others as you want to be treated".

However if A2 is preaching equality and having a different view on say some other topic and faces discrimination, then people who discriminate should be ready to face "discrimination".

One thing that people are making mistake is if A2 and A1 are similar on many views and even if A2 disagrees with A1 on "equality", A2 gets clubbed with A1 and start being discriminated like A1.

Yeah I'm sure five decades of deliberate city planning have nothing to do with it. Berlin is also perfectly flat, quite dense and has a nice climate and yet in the Netherlands three times as many people commute by bike.
You can also force Googles language using the query parameter "hl". E.g. www.google.de/?hl=en returns English queries. That parameter is preserved through multiple querries, so you can use this in a bookmark and have multiple google language versions just a click away.

Not as handy as the DDG location switch, but still a sometimes useful hack.
My point was that ideologically and morally motivated software licenses are already well established in the software ecosystem. This is not new. Whenever someone posts a link about Emacs do you see people saying "it would be hilarious if someone forked this and banned Stallman from using their software"?
I don't think Mozilla will end up forcing a single DNS endpoint, likely, they will have a GUI to configure this.

If I had to guess, they will likely have a heuristic where your local DNS is first checked somewhat regularly if it supports DoH, if not use the one configured in Firefox, if DoH is enabled that is.

The idea that one shouldn't be called a slur at work, and the definition of a slur, is itself intensely political.
You are ignoring that for many others it's a platform that they rely on for communications. Quitting Facebook was easy in my circle, but I still have people who message me through Instagram. Network effect is often not negligible.
It does help them build a better profile for that specific user though.

Facebook was not losing by this. If someone had connected their Twitter account, it meant they cared enough so they would be visiting Facebook, even if it was sporadically to check how their posts were doing and to see the necessary ads.

> If you are innocent, you might not be able to afford the bail and receive irrecoverable financial damage

Sure. I'm not making a case that bail is perfect, or even good overall, I'm just laying out some of the reasoning behind why it exists.

> Let us say you face 10 years in jail, you have actually committed the crime: what are the chances you think you will just take it one step further and ruin your family?

What are the chances that your friends and family don't understand this, and as such are unwilling to put up collateral as bail? It's not like the the accused get to put up other people's money and property without their say-so. The accused might con them into paying the bail, but really, there's only so much you can do in a case like that. If you could solve that scenario, you could probably eliminate confidence crimes altogether.
Few things I learned after a bit of research:

• the key to efficiency here seems to be “caching”, more specifically their caching strategy

• traditionally, caching on the web is done by assuming resource access follows the Zipf Distribution[1]

• Zeta Distributions are basically Zipf Distributions[2] so you can effectively re-word the title as “Efficient data loading using caching” (zipf = “caching” & zeta = zipf => zeta = “caching”)

• It’s important to note that Zipf/Zeta don’t model extremes very well, so there’s potential for outliers causing costly cache misses. Monitor your logs!

[1] distribution follows a logarithm, so the most popular resource is accessed disproportionately more than the second most popular item and so on.

Example is word frequency, modeled as 1/n; second most popular word occurs 50% as much as the first most popular word (1/2), third most popular word occurs 33% as much as the first (1/3) and so on, showing an exponential falloff with a long tail. It thus makes sense to cache the first 10 most popular words as they are going to get accessed more than 90% of the time, giving you the efficiency. Basically this is a form of power law and similar to Pareto Distribution (20% of the things deliver 80% of the result)

[2] rigorously speaking, zeta is the normalized form of Zipf. But practically they are similar enough that people use the terms interchangeably.

It's quite dissapointing how much outraged the initial announcement of DoH generated and then the results are mostly ignored.

Of course they'll have to work making sure that privacy is preserved and poeple outside the US don't have their data shipped of to the US.
