Stop Don't blindly take that coding challenge
The 16-bit era meant that machines had a bit more memory to play with so double-buffering became a common technique on platforms like the Amiga.
Definitely. I'm so curious.
Community building is the most noble project on the Internet, and this is a unique attempt to organize it further. Communities, not software or commerce or entertainment, is what the Internet was motivated from in the 90's and will be the most remembered aspect in 50 years, so it is important to create experimental community harbors like these to possibly incubate future massive projects.

However, I am curious why you chose two features from which to derive your community software.

Voting: This has been demonstrated by major websites to form "mob opinions", hide individuality, and discourage of unpopular/unoriginal ideas. It is somewhat agreed by Hacker News members that voting should represent quality of comments. But as the size of a website approaches infinity (like Reddit, or Facebook comments with "liking"), this type of culture breaks down, so voting is eventually only used to game the system to promote comments that follow your personal opinion. Differing opinions are a beautiful aspect of humankind, and they are lost when a comment's score is used to make it visible in an unequal manner to other comments. Additionally, voting has little correlation with the effort that goes into a comment. A one-word reply is just as likely to have the same score as a wiki-like hand-typed article and will therefore be artificially promoted to the same level. I believe that if you're running an online news website, sure, absolutely promote "top" content. If it's a community forum, give people an equal voice.

Threading/hierarchy: Human conversation has not and will not change as a result of Internet community software. Hierarchy is unnatural, chronology is natural. If the goal of a community is to generate "answers" to "questions", sometimes this unnatural feature is necessary, but use caution and don't over-hierarchy-ize the organization. Having a "Support" and "Not support" feature like in your video demo adds to the paperwork of posting an answer while not offering much benefit, and it seems a bit O(n^2) to me.
They didn't actually access those accounts, they only verified that they could. Definitely more likely to get peoples' hackles up, but worth bearing in mind. Quote:

I'd call it a successful experiment that is soon over.
It’s not elitist, it’s just dumb.

Indeed, we’ve built pretty big and solid apps without redux (when it did not even exist). After that we investigate “flux” and eventually we decided to adopt redux, that was easy for new hires.
I don't believe it's possible to make a clear distinction between "naturally" and "by directed effort" in the case of language. The degree to which a person is conscious of the change they are making might be a theoretical criterion, but it would usually be impossible to apply it in practice as in most cases we don't know who the person was, let alone what their mental state was at the time. Even if we know who made a change and they are still living they usually wouldn't be able to tell us reliably what they were thinking.

There are plenty of individual English words whose spellings were deliberately changed by some person for one reason or another. Perhaps the only major change affecting a large number of words promulgated by a single person was Noah Webster's reform of American English that created most of the differences between American English and British English. There's a book called Does spelling matter? which has a lot of information about English spelling and historical reform proposals (though the book is perhaps not entirely reliable: there are some weird non-sequiturs in it that made me suspicious).
That would be awesome. I think WireGuard + Tinc + userland windows + iOS support would be the ultimate VPN solution. Bringing WireGuard back hail to Tinc would bring that one important step closer.
Yours is a very niche case where you built an application that is perhaps used by other applications downstream.

The author's gripes are mostly with the day-to-day java web application development that is being done in large firms (which I could even believe is the majority of Java development work).
The point is you are limited by the capability you build in at launch, SDR or otherwise. The hardware side is more restrictive than the software side.
Um, not even remotely related to the topic of conversation?

That's really just using slight modifications, using our own perception of what English sounds to us though. I expect it would look quite alien to the rest of the World, if the Brits started doing it based on their own sense of what written english should look like.

While spoken and written English differ quite a lot, I suspect that to be one of the reasons as to why English has been so successful as a a Global trade language (I'm deliberately ignoring the Brittish Empire here). If English hadn't been standardized, and all English-speaking countries had their own separate written English based on their local dialects, the situation would be quite different.
We have sort of overlapping interests haha. How did you learn to weld? Any advice on getting started? It's been in the back of my mind for a few years now. Would love to get started but have no idea where/how to start.

> it's just that I have never really found that memorization was ever an obstacle to my ability to learn something

I mean, taken to an extreme, that's clearly wrong - if you had no working memory (or, say, forgot everything after 10 minutes), you also couldn't learn anything, at least in the sense of being able to use that knowledge long-term. Learning and memorization go hand in hand - learning is, in a sense, the act of getting new things into your memory.

If you mean that there's more to learning than just memorization, you're right! (mostly, see note) In many domains, you need more than just to try and rote memorize a bunch of facts. E.g. when studying math, you need to memorize things like definitions, but also understand them, which is another way of saying "memorize what they really mean". You need to "memorize" how to solve problems. Etc.

You certainly need to have that initial understanding when reading the material the first time, otherwise you can't possibly remember it. But, all of these can reasonably be called memorization, because they are all things that you might know one day, but get lost over time, and are things you can "drill". Therefore spaced repetition is a good way to make sure the stuff you learned once will stay in your memory long term.

Note: some things are pure memorization of facts, in a sense. E.g. I memorized all the locations of countries of the world, then their capitals, and now I'm working on their populations. There is some understanding that goes in here (and one of the reasons I do it is because it forces me to learn more about countries and make interesting connections), but for the large part, this is just brute "practice this fact enough times" learning.
A bit tangential, but I think services which include an arbitration clause should be forced to display it up front in plain language during registration and get clear confirmation from the user, and it should be strictly opt-in.

Ever since GDPR became a thing I started reading the Terms of Service of every major site I use.

Yesterday I found out my Starbucks account has a forced arbitration clause which you can only opt out of by sending a physical letter to their headquarters, and only if you do so within 30 days of having signed up. This is customer abuse at its finest, and should definitely not be legal. If I can sign up online I should be able to opt-out online, at least.

Even worse is their linking policy, which I cannot imagine is actually legally enforceable. How can linking to a publicly accessible page have terms associated with it? And the terms are incredibly user-hostile, since it basically says you can't link to them if you're saying anything bad or negative about the company.

I'd normally include a link, but I guess you'll have to search for it yourself if you want to confirm what I'm saying. Just look up "Starbucks Terms of Service", it'll be the first result ;).

10 Best Tools to Speed Up Your WordPress Website in 2018
FWIW the most interesting tidbit I've learned after working with IncludeOS for couple of years is this; The operating system cannot reconfigure itself.

All Unix and Windows-derived systems are meant to have the ability to reconfigure themselves. For a lot of systems there isn't really a good reason why the system itself should have this capability.

My Wifi access point is a good example. The fact that it runs Linux means that a security flaw gives the attacker the tools to fundamentally modify the devices' behavior. The attacker can install sniffers, blockchain miners or spambots, without vendor approval. This makes any RCE bug critical and in general means the device is dangerous to use if the vendor stops patching it.
The mix is pretty awesome!
A great list! Very similar to the kinds of things I put in Anki.

Do you have any other ideas/suggestions?
I think I've cracked it: it does not work in Firefox Private mode.
IncludeOS can support most of POSIX. It uses Musl, which provides a full POSIX implementation for the system calls that are implemented.

Obviously things like fork() won't work.
Proprietary or not is orthogonal to a scientific question. In case of PyTorch use, you can run with or without CUDA or even port it to eg OpenCL. The vendor hardware is only incidentally Nvidia.

That said, many projects are compute bound and the quality may be limited by speed of hardware, thus vendor dependent.

Since we are talking about Emacs now, there's a package[1] for Anki just like everything else in Emacs. :)
This basically connects to a background server of Anki, you create a card and press C-c C-c to send it to Anki. End of the day, just sync it.

I am one of those guys who try moving everything to Emacs, but personally I found Anki to be much better than org-drill just for the simple reason that I can go through the cards quickly using the phone app when I have some time (waiting for someone, something, etc.). With org-drill I have to be in front of my machine.

But yeah, I've pretty much sold to org-mode. I, too, have been creating a knowledge base inside org-mode. This contains the deeper knowledge and explanations, while the tidbits are in Anki. Org mode notes are like fat nodes, and Anki cards are the threads which bind them. I personally have found both to be very useful together.

Sure but I'd imagine that when you actually start contemplating a breakup you already identified an issue and tried to fix it or work around it. So if you are still entertaining that thought it's because you ran through your options and you're mostly out of them.

You might decide to live with this but again, if you started thinking about it to the point where you consider breakup then it's likely a serious enough issue and it doesn't get better.

This shouldn't stop you from trying to the point where by all definitions the relationship is dead. There's no rule for this other than a rule of thumb. But that one pretty much suggests at that point you are just delaying the inevitable. Unless all you actually need to fix it is time.
I bought a four character dot com domain after it had failed to be renewed by a Bank.

Let’s just say that setting up a catchall for that domain generated countless hours of entertainment.

Highly unsophisticated people will put the dumbest things in emails to their bankers.

I always forwarded those on to the intended recipient.
You'd need a small and efficient hypervisor. Ukvm and Solo5 provides such a system and if I remember correctly IncludeOS can boot and shutdown in less than 10ms on those systems.

So yeah, it would be interesting to see this on a serverless platform. Hit me up if you have a serverless platform. :-)
Ha! Reading that actually have me a little shock. So true!

Where I live, if you were to palliatively medicate a dog or cat, or cow or pig or sheep, for ten years, in an effort to keep it alive despite obvious suffering, you would likely be servely reprimanded, if caught.

Meanwhile, humans have turned this treatment toward each other in to an industry.

We shouldn’t be at all surprised that we factory farm animals for our culinary pleasures.
The point has been made that different people pronounce English differently. I don't think that's an insurmountable obstacle: if you made a sort of union of RP and standard American pronunciation, probably the rest of the English-speaking world would be happy to use a spelling system based on that, if they were willing to accept any change at all, that is.

A more serious problem, I think, is how the pronunciation of a single word element varies between words even for a single speaker of the standard language. How would a reformed English spelling cope with the vowels in "photograph" and "photography", for example? Perhaps there's a neat solution, but I don't know what it is. At least I'm fairly sure that phonemic transcript isn't it.

I often compare animals and humans to old and new video games, same principles, just a shift in resolution.
I think this is a simple matter of a wrong analogy on OP's side. They don't understand that "urgent" in this context means "that needs higher priority than everything else". So the saying makes sense: when everything is urgent and has equal "urgent" priority nothing stands above anymore.

Being burnt out doesn't need a frame of reference other than the internal one of the "burnee". So it can be valid under any conditions.

I'm quite sure the reason is that it's for me impossible to parse your message, even though I know what AJAX, Javascript, XML and Stylesheets are. If there really is a point in your message, you might want to try to reformulate it - perhaps in terms of how you as a user are actually negatively affected? (e.g. does Mastodon deplete your mobile subscription more quickly, and if so, why?)
I recently registered a domain name and set wild card email forwards to my yahoo address. I suddenly start receiving emails with confidential attachments (like employee/vendor payment settlements, disbursements, hr communications, etc.). These emails are from a very large company. I recognized we had phonetically similar sounding domain names. Only one letter was different. Whenever somebody misspelt the domain name in the email, i got that email.
This is an excellent archive. Although, I find it a bit funny that they warn "over 8GiB (!!) of space" for the entire page of samples, while most commercial single-instrument sample sets these days are often 25GB+, and a symphony composer will easily have terabytes. But I suppose this is for the One Laptop Per Child project, so 8GB would be pretty significant.
Thank you! Yes, I'm trying to make that happen. There is definitely a higher quality than quantity on the site right now, which I like, and people who use it seem happy, so that's nice :) Spreading the word without spending a fortune is my biggest problem to solve it seems.

I mainly want people to post anonymous comments so I can gather feedback and use to to improve my blog. I did find WordPress to be very useful in setting up a website quickly, but since I know how to build a website, I thought it would be better to build my own so I can have full customisability. Another reason why I didn't like using WordPress originally is because the webpage loading times were terrible, I think this may be because of the plugins on the site. Using Jekyll instead made loading times a lot faster.
You're right: we just don't care enough. We've desensitized ourselves to the killing of most animals. Eating dogs is gross because dogs are pets, but pigs and cows are just as adorable and yet we eat them.

The funny thing is that my wife is vegetarian and I know for a fact that vegetarian food can be just as nourishing and delicious as a meat-filled diet.

I don't even know what the solution. Perhaps if lab-grown meat becomes a viable option, I'd switch in a heartbeat.
Well CPM wasn’t a failure because MS-DOS was better technically. It was more down to other factors like IBM selling it for a much lower price than CPM for the IBM-PC.

So to the original comment I think the poster means it’s like MS-DOS, but Windows or some such will come next and bring it to the mainstream.

Where is lack of vacation time categorized into this? There are too many answers.
It is neither a rationalisation nor PR spin. Until everyone who wants a job has a job then wages rises will limited the participation of the marginal in the job market. It is a value call if greater participation or greater income of those who already have a job is more important.

What is more of an issue is that the fed will kill the economy to ensure wages don't rise. As soon as there is the slightest sign that wages are rising interest rates will be jacked up - it is only inflation when wages rise, not asset prices.
That's my story as well. I tried the Anki plugin and didn't find it as per my taste.

Now incremental reading for me is a multi-monitor and multipass approach. One monitor has Anki, the other has the thing I'm reading. I keep on reading and keep noting down questions.

I've also come to realise that the context is totally different when I frame a question during reading, and when I revisit the same question later. A lot of times I have to clean-up the question: perhaps add a little more context, change wording etc. so it becomes a bit easier to answer.
If I'm not mistaken, SCOTUS recently ruled that the FAA lets employers force arbitration on their employers. (Simplifying slight for the purpose of a snappy comment, but this California law may not be fully valid.)
Let's imagine a future where fully autonomous weapons exist. Advanced AI is driving them, and technological advances have enabled the weapons to have better sight (wide spectrum sensors), better range and faster reaction time than humans. They can go where humans can't and endure in environments where humans can't live even for a couple of minutes. Perhaps initially the weapons are simple, kind of like the "sword" from Second Variety (P. K. Dick), using radio emitters to identify friend from foe. They would also need a power supply, and because you can't put an advanced brain of huge computing power on a small platform (laws of physics still apply), the "brain" would be located somewhere shielded, deep underground, perhaps near a volcano to use the thermal energy, but also near water, because of cooling requirements. The brain would use a large capacity datalink to communicate with the weapons. Humans are still in the loop, of course, because the adversary is unfortunately quite adaptable and you need programmers to change the software as battle requirements demand. However, humans have this pesky thing called conscience, and sooner or later, if you make them fight, they will refuse to pull the trigger. So they need to be removed as far as possible from the decision to kill, left to the AI. So a team (quite large in fact) of programmers are working on small, disparate features (image recogniton, data communication, weapons delivery) but they never quite see the big picture themselves. Since what they do is quite important, they are well paid and enjoy a nice lifestyle. There are of course downsides. Refusing to do the work anymore or even talking about it could bring repercussions. So the best strategy is to keep quiet and mind your own business paycheck to paycheck. Meanwhile, old school soldiers become obsolete and the AI does all the messy work.

Sounds like fiction? Perhaps it is.
