Imagine that, a mod collapsing a thread that nothing good will come of. Maybe you had a point somewhere, but you definitely don't now.
I think some people also use abstract principles as canards when they actually identify with said edge cases. Either way, it’s exhausting and pointless and poisons every conversation online (and some off) that touch on these issues. It’s like arguing about the value of birth control with a pope from a few decades ago. Facts don’t matter, only positions matter.
FastMail: Australian privacy laws
What’s a reasonable explanation of the ASMR ban.

I’m asking because I just don’t see any ewuivalence between these two issues. I’m personally deeply disappointed by (and oppose) both bans, but at least I can see some reason for Infowars ban (“he’s spreading harmful information”) whereas I cannot really come up with any not-obviously-contrived (i.e. “sex-fear-mongering”) explanation.
No, they didn't. Their ruling rested largely on how hostile the Colorado administrative agency acted in that particular case. They made no ruling on the larger questions, which is how they got Kagan and Breyer on board with the majority opinion.
Isn’t that how it usually works. Japan remembers its war dead, we remember ours. They rember their heroes, we remember ours. Same for Soviets, Germans, British, French, Spanish, Philipinoes, Indians, Pakistanis, etc..
I don't believe that, or at least I think 99% is a considerable exaggeration. My resume has never been based on anything but what I did, because every person I've worked with in a department has a different role. I couldn't take credit for their work because it's palpably not what I do. And if I did, I'd end up doing similar things, which is not what I want or I already would've been doing them.
Xmonad is written according to this pattern

Most of the code (Layout.hs and StackSet.hs) is pure and has extensive unit (property-based) tests for all the pure functional core.

https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/tree/master/tests/Propertie...

Then there is a layer that talks to X11 and interfaces with the functional core. (Core.hs and Main.hs)

I don't think we disagree in spirit - I didn't mean to imply that it prevents you from, e.g., writing all of your code in the IO monad, just the points you made in your last paragraph. So, more that they're a useful tool to help you realize these goals, not something that gets you there on its own. It does let you broaden/specify your definition of "effectful" a bit - modelling event streams with monads gives you FRP (as in your robot example), and I vaguely remember reading in some paper somewhere the suggestion of using monads to separate out unconstrained recursion/non-totality/co-data from total code.
This is all about a bad wildfire season right? Even Seattle had many bad air weeks this summer.
That's not true. They ruled that the baker got a mulligan because government officials didn't show enough respect to his religious beliefs. It is still illegal and there's another case against him right now over this behavior.
The Unix and Internet Fundamentals HOWTO
>The web was literally built do be usable this way.

Sure, the technology was built to be used in certain ways, which might not be ethical or legal, depending on a particular instance of usage.

Because one can do something, obviously doesn't mean one should. I can't chop your furniture just because I have an axe that was literally built for chopping.

>your browser is allowed to display the content it downloaded in any way it wants to you.

Indeed, but that doesn't mean someone is allowed to send arbitrary content to that browser. The fault is not with the browser.

If I put an image on Flickr, you can hotlink to that image in your web article, print it on your printer, and distribute. The technology was literally built to be usable that way.

However, it is neither legal nor ethical to do that.
As a manager, I haven't bothered to look at code coverage for years.

What I care about is functional coverage for the boundaries and exception cases of our use cases or APIs. Run them CD in your pipeline.

Cover customer expectations at the highest level of reasonable abstraction (I also tend to avoid ui testing, and frontend JavaScript too).

Low level tests or unit tests only matter insofar as they make it easier to trust your dependecies. Breaking abstraction or encapsulation to test is a hard stop NO.
In the Idris language, one best practice is to relegate to the outer shell not only IO effects, but also "partiality"—in the sense of computations that might enter an unproductive infinite loop.

(In Haskell, one way of getting into unproductive infinite loops is by mistakenly asking "parse elements until the first failure" to a parser combinator that can always succeed without consuming input.)

The ideal is that the core of the application should be both pure and total, purity and totality being tracked by the type system. In fact, one can often relegate partiality to a single function of the outer shell.
Are there? It's not entirely inconceivable that certain themed restaurants are worse than average in a given area. It wouldn't be surprising if seafood restaurants aren't as good in areas far from the coast, since ingredients need to travel a longer distance. Even if we assume that there is no degredation of quality, the added logistical cost would mean that savings need to be made elsewhere in order to provide a meal at the same pricepoint.
Indistinguishable from Magic: Dynamicland seeks to free us from our devices
You can try to make the argument that Alex Jones should belong to a protected class that needs special rules that infringe on other people's freedoms, but I don't think you'll win that argument.
I do not criticize their decision to select customers with whom they want to do business.

Definition of hate alone is extremely broad. And depends from culture to culture, country to country. Do we want many Interents with each having it's own rules? Or one Internet connecting people like it was envisioned to be?

I'm asking more meta/philosophical question here. What kind of precedence do they set with these actions?
First they came for the Nazis.
An unfortunate fact: there are infinitely many kinds and degrees of bias hard-coded in human nature. They cannot be suddenly wished, willed, educated or technologied away, only imperfectly, temporarily overcome with conscious, uphill vigilance.

Anyone whom says they're impartial, unbiased, justice is blind or racism is over.. is lying to you and themselves because such statements, maybe laudible goals, but are unobtainium virtues.
AQI is essential to know in China, so the market adapts.
Damn, working there must be depressing
> The proper way to use animation is to NOT use it except when there is absolutely no other way to communicate something.

While it is true that some animations are excessive, I find that a certain amount of animation makes it less taxing to follow what is happening on screen. If big changes happen suddenly and without animation then I have to spend a little bit of extra time to figure out what moved where relative to where it was before and what was added, removed or changed.

Mainly I mean when changes happen automatically, like if something was dynamically added, removed or changed by the system. Not, say, if I initiated a page-down with my keyboard in mutt etc.
I think you can (and clearly should) be ready for your big boxes to go down. And it is much more painful to bounce a large box than a small box. But that doesn't mean having say 4x [1] big boxes is strictly worse than having a whole bunch of smaller boxes.

[1] one pair in two locations, basically the minimum amount, unless you're really latency insensitive so you could have one in three locations.
HFS+ has had on-the-fly defrag for ages now. Did you have issues with it? What kind of files do you work with?
The thing all of these new notations miss is the fact that western music is constructed stacking thirds on top of each other.

A major chord is a root, a 3rd on top of it, and another minor 3rd (or R+3+5 relative to its root). Add another 3rd (R+3+5+7) for a major 7th chord. Add another minor 3rd (R+3+5+7+9) for a major 7th(9) chord. Etc.

This is easy to see at a glance, both in pentagram (where thirds are line-to-line or space-to-space) and solfege/letter form (where a C chord is C-E-G, or Eb for minor, but always E). This is the reasoning behind enharmonic notes like G# and Ab (same frequency, different name), so E major is E-G#-B, and F minor is F-Ab-C. Chord inversions are then super easy to identify: G-C-E is C major in first inversion.

The notation looks great for mathematical operations, but it's not a replacement for solfege as a quick reading/writing notation. It misses a lot of implicit intent.
Agree that Elixir and Erlang lend themselves well to this style, but I strongly disagree that everything written in them does or that the languages help enforce this pattern in any way.

It's quiet the opposite really from what I've seen. Elixir places absolutely no constrains on when and how IO happens, and provides extremely useful primitives for shutting state between (VM) processes in otherwise stateless code. A library function that looks totally pure could, for example, boot an entirely different subsystem that fired a missile into the sun before providing a return value and you'd never know it if you didn't read the docs, or use one of many pieces of fantastic beam tooling to inspect the runtime state of the system.

This is part of what makes these languages pragmatic to work in. There are foot guns everywhere, but the VM ensures you sign into the foot gun registry whenever you use them.
PayPal has free speech rights as well. Would you force a Black owned printer to do business with the KKK?
Do you have a more substantial viewpoint to share?

I think to a large extent the same arguments are repeated because stories like these are literally arguments for both sides:

“See, I was right, censorship will not stop at at anything, it’s a slippery slope!”

“See, bad people/ideas should be censored and it helps make society better.”
How is it sad?
In practice, they don't make it very hard to find out who it is, even if the job is not in the careers site of the employer.

However, it's courteous to work with the person who brought it to you, and I assume it's to your advantage, since they have an incentive to get you past the gatekeepers.
Why is this surprising? ML models are just recognizers and bias on the basis of ancestry is observable in all human cultures at all times.

If we nobly insist that the models describe the world as we wish it were and ought to be, then we won't be describing the data accurately. Maybe that trade-off is worthwhile if it somehow reforms human attitudes along lines we find more agreeable?
I'm referring to accessibility, not just aesthetics.

+1 for mutt. Text-first is the way to go.
> I think there's a substantial moral difference between

Yes, a moral difference clearly in favor of the conspiracy theorist.

1) A cake is not as important as speech.

2) The gay couple had many other alternative options.

3) There was no shadowy group working to ensure that nobody would bake a cake for the gay couple.

There is a clear group setting out to unperson Alex Jones.
Love this one! I think Rich Hickey’s “The Value of Values” pairs nicely with it.
But this isn't what the Supreme Court rules at all. It ruled that in handling the case, the Colorado commission had been biased against the defendant; the ruling specifically stated that Colorado "can protect gay persons in acquiring products and services... the law must be applied in a manner that is neutral toward religion"

The ruling was also very specific in that the case was not to set precedent and the ruling absolutely does not permit businesses to discriminate against LGBTQ.
I feel at some point we changed what an NDE was really categorized as. When Rick Strassman did his research in the 90's and wrote DMT the spirit molecule he stated that classical NDEs were distinct from alien encounters and that in his trials alien encounters were far more common than NDE. Now it seems that alien encounters are also considered NDEs.
Sketch of an alternative proof, more DSP:

Use the fact that the approximation in the paper is equal to the inner product of e^{-x^2} with a Dirac comb [1]. The amazing thing about the Gaussian function and the Dirac comb is that they're both preserved by the Fourier transform. So apply the Fourier transform to both of them, observe that the Fourier transform is unitary (essentially a rotation), and therefore doesn't affect the inner product; then expand the inner product of the Fourier transforms.

Essentially, it's the same proof, but not in the language of Theta functions. In fact, I'd argue it's a better proof, because it generalises.

Generalisation: This technique applies to all Riemann sums, as long as you can compute the Fourier transform of the function. The thinner the tails of the function's Fourier transform, the faster its Riemann sums will converge.

He's not being censored. This is even less related to censorship than being banned from Twitter, as it won't affect his ability to reach his audience in any way.

It does for metadata, but yeah, even if off by default, there should have been at least an option to turn it on.
I don't have hard data to back this up, but a number of my coworkers including a weekend sailor all feel that the general coastal climate and wind patterns have changed compared to what we remember from 20 years ago.

There seems to be much less of the strongly seasonal offshore flow (the Santa Ana winds) reaching us at the coast. This used to be a regular thing ramping up in the late summer and fall with huge wind gusts damaging local trees etc. Now, it seems like we hear about winds up in the mountains but they run out of energy (or lift above the surface?) before reaching the coast, while we can definitely feel the grit and see the brown, dirty layer of air extend out over the ocean.

Similarly, we have all commented on the disturbance in the strongly seasonal pattern of onshore flow (June Gloom). We remember more contrast between foggy mornings with the marine layer reaching many miles inland on some mornings but retreating and burning off, tending to blue skies in mid summer. In recent years, the marine layer seems to visit randomly throughout the year and it often seems to just park slightly off shore or mere blocks inland, with haze and humidity instead of sharp boundary between blue sky and fog.

In our coastal area between LAX and Santa Monica, we haven't had the obvious wildfire smoke impact that I saw during visits to the S.F. Bay Area this year.
I refuse to do business with you because you’re gay vs. I am terminating our business relationship because you violated our Acceptable Use Policy that you previously agreed to abide by.

I’m not a lawyer, but these sound quite different.
It the worst during winter. Wake up it's dark. Come home it's dark. Hello darkness my old friend...
How could they “independently” reach the same conclusion at roughly the same time?

I’m not saying they necessarily “conspired”, could be as simple as one CEO seeing the news and saying “that’s a good idea, we should do that too”, but the chances of these decisions being completely independent is almost zero.
They do. It's called a verdict.
We've had runs spanning a week plus this season where the AQI never gets under 50...SF is not really safe when it's wildfire smoke from the north because it ends up recirculating.

In fact we're in that kind of scenario right this minute.
> At some point, when everyone has shut you out, don't you realize that you are the problem?

I remember everyone shutting out my brother for being gay.
My question is aimed at developing my understanding of the people who support the ASMR ban, but are against the InfoWars one.
The sound of engines is not much compared to honking. Sadly, that will not go away with EVs
Sorry to disappoint, but that's impossible.

Socialization is an ambiguous, imprecise activity that demands infinitely many judgements, inferences, and preconceived rules & goals.

What can be interpreted as "jerk" behavior can also be caused by "dork" behavior, and vice-versa.

A joke at someone's expense might be expressing affinity for them or dissing them.

Adopting ebonics speech and tone in one context maybe in-group acceptable in one context, but insulting in another.

Ultimately, the algorithms need enough trial-and-error socializing experience to become, for lack of a better term, cool.
Society is biased. Even assuming purely a statistical averaging of outliers, there are, for example, enough open racists in the US that a crowd of them decided that marching through Charlottesville with tiki torches was a good idea.
No, it absolutely did not overturn protected status of LGBTQ. To quote Justice Kennedy, Colorado "can protect gay persons in acquiring products and services... the law must be applied in a manner that is neutral toward religion".
I'm not sure anyone would ever actually have only one machine, without a failover option, and failing over had better not bring down the whole system.
Bingo. My philosophy has started to become "If it can be functional without sub-optimal overhead or confusing state magic, it probably should be." Delaying that "DSL" layer as long as possible keeps your system super straightforward and easily testable.
I fear you are too generous about the IAT. The results are like noise, even when taken by the same person repeatedly with different data.
People experience death (and psychoactives) in a variety of ways, and its metaphorical usage reflects that. The meat-grinder sense maps better to stimulants (ie., caffeine, amphetamine, etc) whereas the exhausting, perhaps harrowing and enlightening sense of death is what we tend to experience with the psychedelics.
A quicksort that supported progress reporting and cancellation might have a function parameter that it calls periodically to report progress, with the function returning a bool indicating cancellation. But this is using code, not data.

How might this be implemented within the data model?
Mark Rutland pointed out in the comments that the `PAC` and `AUT` instructions GCC picks to do the authentication are treated as NOPs on older processors.
I talk a bit about this in a sibling comment. Maybe that helps answer your question?

Pallene uses garbage collection, and shares the Lua garbage collector. The idea is to make as easy as possible to call Pallene from Lua and Lua from Pallene.
Meanwhile, Terra only uses Lua at compilation time for metaprogramming and template building. At runtime, if you want to call Lua from Terra (or vice versa) you need to use the C API, just like you would do with C.

I wouldn't really try to compare the performance of Pallene with Terra. They are two very different languages, doing different things.
Well, not so bad if we use the mirror to reflect on ourselves and our biases, and work to negate them. Fairly bad if they're used for recommendations and for rankings.
PayPal EU is a bank registered in Luxemburg and their EU operations are regulated as one: http://www.e-comlaw.com/e-finance-and-payments-law-and-polic...

PayPal issues credit and loans and credit cards they are an issuing bank and they also serve as an acquiring bank for processing payments.

Their account balance may not count as deposit and as such that part might not be under banking regulations in the US but in the EU they are regulated as one.
Hmmm...I'm no expert, but my master's thesis topic in the 90's was on neural networks that use R-squared (a measure of correlation), and when I saw the news about Microsoft's chatbot going Nazi, I was not at all surprised. Not saying no one you knew was surprised, but I had "at least a faint understanding of ML", and the primary thing I learned about it was that it learns what's in the data, whether that's the part of the data that you intended it to learn or not.
I see what you're saying here. But unfortunately, civilians get massacred in wars. If you laud the people who stop the massacres as heroes, you hopefully increase the odds of someone stopping the next massacre.

Finally, Hugh Thompson absolutely is a hero. Your quotes around that word are unnecessary.
The reason Go took so long with modules is another function of large corporations. Google doesn’t use modules internally (they have the monorepo) so having a module system wasn’t important.

Rust may have been further along on this path, but in the grand scheme of things Go 1.1 feels far more “complete” than Rust 2015 - and a large part of that is Go’s huge standard library that Google could fund to develop.
So most Thursdays and a few Sundays then.
My point is that it is pointless to have these conversations here, because no exchange of ideas takes place, no intellectual curiosity is satisfied, and bad faith arguments are the norm. You may not like that point, but that doesn’t make it any less of a point. For whatever reason (I already presented my thoughts on those reasons as I see them) this site can’t handle this discussion, and the results are distracting and disheartening.

I suspect that a major reason I haven’t yet mentioned is that everyone who isn’t identifying as being on a “side” stays the hell away from them. That leaves the raving ideologues for the most part, with a smattering of the same being shouted down for not hewing to what is Obviously Correct. My substantive point is that the moderation on this site should treat this like any other instance of politics that it buries, because it is, and because it creates the same kinds of endless and repetitive arguments and flame wars.
I would go with the simplest solution that lets you ship. For basic web apps, I find k8s is overkill.

However, once you need service discovery, secret management, auto scaling, etc k8s is the least bad solution I’ve found. I ended up using GKS but that was before AWS released a competitor.
> or gun control?

I mean this seems legitimate.

Our founding document clearly highlights the inalienable right to bear arms.
Cilantro is a prominent ingredient in Mexican cuisine. It is also notoriously difficult to clean compared to other produce. Add in that it is prepared and served uncooked and you have a food with a higher likelihood of harboring things that will make you ill. Compare that to something like BBQ that is cooked for extended periods of time and the result isn't bias, it's microbiological reality.

If Mexican restaurants are cited more for having ill patrons, it might simply be due to the cuisine using preparation methods that lend themselves more easily to distributing contamination than many other cuisines. No bias necessary.
Great place. And if I recall open late for the late night crowd too :)
That has the same issue as Waterfox and other projects where you lose out on quick fixes for discovered exploits.
Blaming the victim for being discriminated against isn't going to help anything.
