In my experience, Org mode and babel shine at

- "literate programming" where the output is actually commented code and the eventual documentation

- "reproducible science" articles, where small independent snippets are executed, even piped into each other, to produce "results" in the form of tables, charts, ...

They don't.

They used a random-letters subdomain with a CNAME for something (identifying user ID maybe), but the actual domain is redirected by setting A records pointing to their servers.
Ah, ok. That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
I eat a ton of fruit based sugar, plant based food and some protein.

No matter how much dried fruit I eat I can't seem to gain a pound. Quantities like 400 grams of raisins.
I think this is a valid critique of the title. Sorting means whatever it means in a specific context (dewey decimal system, post addresses, etc...).

Most languages are context sensitives, but generalized computing is fundamentally defined by a context free language in which a processing transition can execute and not care was previous states were. This gets blurry with recursion and generics and other syntactic sugar, but fundamentally state changes are still defined by the operation and instantaneous state and not the language itself.

So in our context-free language of generalized computers, sorting and ordering are the same.
The Bulc Club Effect
Well, I just typed this into Google:

study lose weight by changing macro nutrients while maintaining the same caloric intake

https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/79/5/899S/4690223
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5639963/
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

I only very, very briefly skimmed these, and am not claiming they refute your claim.

Having said that, I know one person who lost a great deal of weight even while consuming more calories, over the course of a number of years, and given no substantial delta in exercise.

To a first, broad approximation, it's true: people who fewer calories will tend to lose weight. But this is an exceptionally complicated topic, and I posit that most any generalizations tend to do more harm than good, if taken too deeply.
You can do this with Friends Lists in Facebook IIRC (I deleted my Facebook months ago), but it's not as obvious/front and center like it was on Google+
This is also just the inevitable consequence of removing one species from a niche without the others - even if it doesn't encourage evolution towards resisting the disinfectant.

What purpose does HN serve when we already have reddit? Replicated work!

The tricky thing about naysaying technology is that naysayers are almost always correct. This doesn't mean that they have useful information (you could refer to Bayes theorem for instance, and look at P(Failure|Prediction), the probability of failure given that an inexpert observer has predicted failure). It's just very easy for casual observers to pick at things.

Additionally:

-What would you say about a site like reddit that "replicates moderation" at each subreddit?

-You also seem to be saying that creating a small business is a dead-end endeavor, that competition between similar businesses is old-fashioned. What if an entrepreneur wants to create a twitter competitor?
A good friend of mine finished his Master in Psychology and only later found what he really loved: Marketing.

Being a self-learner I tried my best to find good content for him to learn on his own (Hubspot has amazing lessons for anyone starting from 0).

What would be your advice to him?
Charles S. Peirce in the 1880s understood that switching circuits embody Boolean logic, though he never published except in a letter to a student/colleague who was going to work on this but abandoned it. That Babbage and Peirce both had trouble dealing with people may have had a pretty big effect on history.
Wasn't someone working on a step-on scale which (somehow?) looked at blood flow in your feet and tracked this over time? Something like that might be able to detect plaque buildup over time. Not sure how accurate this would be, or how exactly this would work.

If your criteria for success is a large centralized for-profit monopoly, then of course Mastodon will never be successful, since that is the definition of failure in the context of the federated network. And since we have that now, you of course should be perfectly happy with the status quo.

Reminds me of how the Soviets had ships called "aircraft carrying cruisers" that were actually aircraft carriers, so that they could sail them between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea:

And the Royal Navy had "through-deck cruisers" that were actually (tiny) aircraft carriers, so that they could get them built under a government which wanted to keep defence spending under control:

Can this be easily gamed by just uploading a boat load of local, public domain content and burying it in the depths of the catalogue?
To be clear, my claim above is that the church, as a centralising power structure in "christaindom" circa 1000AD, played some role in pushing the culture there towards openness, or in making extended families less important.

Claiming that christianity always and everywhere does this would be pretty obviously wrong, and I did not say this. And indeed even within europe today, catholic-ness is anti-correlated with this kind of "openness" -- because the core relevant for this has long since gone protestant or atheist.

I hold this claim weakly. There are other arguments for what happened. But regardless of why, my main point was that Europe (and especially a core area) was an outlier on this universalist/clannish scale. And that both ends have advantages, depending on the situation.
Yes, it is depressing. Getting a SaaS running that makes any real money is a ton of work. This goes way beyond software development. Why do you think real companies spend millions on marketing and sales? At the small scale, with rare exceptions, it's build it and almost nobody shows up.
Cleaning removes things pretty uniformly, but also doesn't result in a sterile (or even really quasi-sterile) surface. Disinfection is a pretty important next step after cleaning.
Phonebooks are in alphabetical order. They are sorted into residential and business (white and yellow), then further sorted into business categories (or in some cases residential areas), and then ordered.

> Not every labor shortage problem is solved by adjusting compensation levels upwards.

Quite literally all shortages are solved by rising price. After all, the formal definition of a shortage is "a situation where an external mechanism, such as government intervention, prevents price from rising". If the price can rise, then a shortage cannot be. Which is the case here. If you have the budget for $1m/year compensation, it's yours to offer.

Think about it this way: If there was only one person in the world capable of being a data scientist, each company in need of a data scientist would increase their offers to try and attract this person to their company. But no company in existence has an unlimited budget. Eventually all companies will be priced out of the market except for the company who ultimately employs this person. Since the other companies stop looking for data scientists beyond a certain price, the one position that remains in the market is perfectly filled with the one person available to do such work.

To put it another way: No matter how much you want one, there isn't a shortage of Ferraris because you cannot afford one. You simply aren't in the market for one in the first place. Everyone who is in the market for a Ferrari can have one. Likewise, everyone who is in the market for a data scientist can have one.

The mid-level exec with a data science poster on his wall, but a small budget for such work, is no more in the market for a data scientist than a teenager with a Ferrari poster on his wall is in the market for a Ferrari. That's just hopes and dreams. They don't count as anything more.
Back-Of-The-Envelope-Calculations to Choose the Best Design
This is an extremely solid financial statement. $150M in revenue, growing ~100% per year; I'd project a valuation between $3B and $4B.

Twilio, Mulesoft, and MongoDB are probably the best comparables here -- open-source and dev-tools based SaaS IPOs. All of these were very successful at IPO and afterwards, and even compared to these, Elastic looks great.

* They're growing at almost 100% per year which is incredible. Twilio filed for IPO growing at 70% per year. Mulesoft was growing at 60%. Mongo was growing at 50%

* Losing $50M on $150M of revenue. (Net margins of -33%). This is pretty reasonable and in line with Twilio and Mulesoft. MongoDB was significantly worse at -60% net margins.

With that kind of growth I'd imagine something like a 220M ARR when they actually IPO, and valuation of 15-20x that.

That seems to be almost too high. Vitamin D is fat soluble and you're taking way more than the RDA of 600 IU. Even at 6000 IU, which you suggest is optimal, you're taking 2x.

source/explanation?
I've been thinking about this recently myself and also used email as my go-to example -- and it's not lost on me that, if Mastodon really follows that path, we're likely to end up with a few immense instances that provide added services, either in exchange for a small fee or for ads (or, let's be honest, through data mining).

I suspect one of the biggest potential places for improvement will be providing a semi-formal process around moderation. The current approach presents itself as a kind of socialist/libertarian communal utopia, and it can be depending on how a given instance is run -- but in practice, each instance is a monarchy with absolute power over not only your presence in the kingdom but which other kingdoms you're allowed to talk to. Your social graph can be broken at any point because your admin has decided, for any reason, to stop federating with an instance you have followers on, or vice-versa. The net effect is that you can be punished for transgressions, real or imagined, that you weren't a party to (and might not even be aware of). And I don't think that has a technical solution, just a policy one.

Of course, it's possible that Mastodon -- or, more likely, a future similar network, maybe one built on ActivityPub, too, so it could federate with Mastodon servers transparently -- will solve this by requiring instances to agree to slightly more formal policies around federation and moderation: here is disallowed content, this is the reporting process, this is the appeals process, etc. This can absolutely be done; it was done, three decades or so ago, back in the days of FidoNet. But I suspect the folks most enthusiastic about Mastodon as it exists now would find that anathema.
I can be identified. And until very recently, if you searched under my legal name, you found little or nothing about me online, never mind that if you knew where to look, there was ridiculous amounts of information about me online under various forum handles and blogs.

If you have really serious fame of the sort that means millions know your name, you may find it hard to obfuscate your activities. If you are doing something so bad that some government wants your hide, yeah, they may find you.

But for most folks who just, say, don't want their "respectable clients" to know their porn habits or something like that, having a nickname that your friends know you under separate from your "public"/professional identity can have loads of value and can be sustained for a lot of years without much effort at all.

https://www.republicservices.com/ is a site with a non-EV Symantec-branded certificate from August 2017 and it still works in Chrome 69 (and is blocked in Chrome 70 with a NET::ERR_CERT_SYMANTEC_LEGACY error).

How to force Express.js to use HTTPS
Two-phase commit protocol
I'm fairly similar. It's become a way to save and share family photos and stories.

That said, I find real value in that. I know what I share and save on Facebook is going to be there in 10 years, and probably will still be somewhere accessible in 50 years. Everyone pretends personal systems (where you are "in control") are safer, but I know how many photos and files I've misplaced over the years.

And Facebook encourages me to do more than just post blind photos, but also to give a story. I've looked through old photo albums, and the pictures become empty all too quickly. I could do all this on my own, but again I'll probably lose things or the stories and photos will become disassociated or some other mistake, or I'll be gone and no one will know or care to retrieve them from whatever system I've created. But even more so I need a reason to put everything together, and sharing it immediately with other people – people who show, even trivially, that they care – gives me a reason.

Facebook's Memories feature has already shown me that this is important – seeing something I shared one or five or ten years ago makes me realize these things matter to me.

Maybe other people have ways of doing disciplined documentation of their life and experiences and family that I don't. But I'm doubtful.
Facebook events aren't even particularly good for what they do. Because I'm in bands and have other social responsibilities, I wind up posting FB events. But FB really wants you to pay money to promote, or most people, even people you invite, will never see it.

It's probably the main thing that keeps me from deleting my account entirely.
Thanks for letting me know. It looks like it was a bug in demo for the timestamp checking if statement. It should be fixed now

I also increased the timestamp threshold to 30 seconds instead of 10.
Uh, we used to use them, and switched in June. Our certificates behaved normally. I have no idea what was going on with yours, but clearly "all certificates" were not.

We also received I don't know how many notifications of the impending changes. They were plentiful enough that it got annoying. Assuming one actually has valid email addresses to which attention is paid for these communications.

The order of clauses in a SQL statement should have no relation on the order of execution because SQL is a declarative query language. The query specifies what the user wants and not how the system should compute the answer.

This declarative property also provides a (somewhat weak) motivation of why SELECT should come first. Precisely because it answers part of the WHAT, i.e., the schema of the result.
I agree. And perhaps a subsidy. The potential avoidance of misery justifies making it easy to choose.

It's pretty easy to increase the grain size of a material - ceramics processing does it all the time with spray dryers. The problem comes down more to a) composition and b) cost of processing. Sand is highly naturally refined - rivers and the ocean break down almost everything but silica, and the entire erosion process acts like one giant particle size sorting machine. "clay" and "silt" etc. are purely descriptions of size; they can vary widely in chemical makeup, and most of those variations will negatively impact concretion.
The quality of the datasets varies greatly depending on the source. Some work well, some, less so. There are data sources that are undergoing active development to harvest them more accurately. None of them were added to pump up the numbers.

The biggest numbers bump recently was ca 1600 Met Eireann rainfall records datasets from all around the country, some of them daily rainfall dating back 60 years. (Spoiler, there’s a lot of rain)

This is specifically a catalog of data sets, it doesn’t host the data except for previews, and even doing that is pretty complicated in all its glory.
I don't disagree with most of what you said, I was using "short form content" as shorthand for the business model, however:

But Hollywood has remained skeptical in the year since he announced his venture. Several executives have argued that there is little evidence to support the notion that viewers are craving short programming. And beyond the initial hype, Mr. Katzenberg has been short on specifics.

Higher production values will distinguish NewTV’s programming from the majority of video shorts that gain traction on YouTube, Mr. Katzenberg said. And he trusts that viewers will appreciate the difference.

The pixelation is just a visual effect. When redaction is on, the text content/images etc are not captured at all. During replay/playback the place where the original content was is filled with randomly generated data whixh is then pixelated.
> The efforts in that direction are very active (although not as much as AI in general) but slightly different. You need sensors able to understand pressure and very subtle micro-controllers able to apply exactly the right kind of pressure. You need to think about the ideal shape for a “hand”.

You’re saying building a hand that can feel and sense is not really AI in general. I say that “sense” and “sentient” have the same latin root — sentire, to feel.

From what we know about intelligence and its relationship with sentience, giving something a sense of feeling implies applying artificial intelligence... and is a step towards artificial sentience IMO. It’s definitely not a step away from it. Those sensors sound like nerves to me.
Yes, color looks nicer, but shape is more useful.
I actually used speck in a project of mine. It compiles to very very tight code even on an 8-bit micro, much smaller than AES. Since my attack profile does not include nation-states I see no issues in using it in my use case. Sometimes even speck may be the right tool for the job.
Deleting whole deprecated features is even better. Often it's an indication of a modular architecture and proper upgrade path when an old, unused piece of code has been superseded without breaking any major parts of the whole system.

Sure, but then the regulators will be back with more stringent regulations, for example requiring a certain amount of spending or streaming time be spent on local content. I would expect the big players (Netflix, Hulu) will want to avoid angering the regulators. Smaller players may play games, but regulators probably aren't as concerned (for example how would a niche service like Crunchyroll that focuses on anime comply?).
