Perhaps to your point... how could legal have not signed off on these updates?

Answer: no way in hell. Legal most assuredly signed off; Google decided they have no liability, formally.
Yes of course, here is an example of a well defined, no ub, == overloads.

Firefox is a lot faster on startup and browsing than it used to be. It's now damn usable.

I'll keep Chrome around, like Opera, for browser testing.
What I really miss in Swift are user definable attributes. Also I would like to have the Objective-C attribute that requires you to always call super. I don't think that Swift even honors that attribute if it is defined in Objective-C.

I consider it weird that the "where" keyword can't be applied in more places, only in case and for ... in I believe it works. Seems like some weird remnant of "what cool feature of C# could we borrow?" that never really got a full rollout.

Also I would like to have a "not" keyword instead of using the easily overlooked !. Such a nice feature of F# (and Visual Basic?).

Good to see count(where:) coming to the language, I often missed it. And probably is faster than filter since it doesn't create an array of results first.

Apart from that Swift 5 doesn't seem to be super different from 4. But that's what I expected already.
Bing? Smh. No, no and hell no. DuckDuckGo all the way.

I agree 100%, however WebKit isn't the only solution. Even Qt now uses Chromium from my understanding:

I think CSS is pretty great, but I would like to see something like Sass/Jade/Mustache/etc rendered client side. If browsers would focus less on JavaScript, and more on improving markup languages under the core Unix Philosophies, then we wouldn't be where we are today. I hope eventually they will let containers or the API in Linux handle permissions/security, and improve that. Android has it's own issues with Java. With Vulkan, Linux is ready for a very efficient and ever-evolving scalable solution. Heck, a modern UI scripting framework for the terminal similar to kmscon would be incredible. No reason the terminal can't support markup and assets. My vision is something similar, but definitely more friendly than DolDoc:

In the case of Trudy Wade, it was because a student blog was biased against her, which doesn't surprise or upset me. Because Google took it down and apologized, I surmise that this is evidence that they are not biased against conservatives.

I appreciate your genuine approach here. The reason I'm being so militant on actual evidence is due to excellent coaching from many people I admire in my life to challenge assumptions and anecdote. Trust me, I'm great fun in design meetings.

In this case, I'd agree with you that Google News presents generally liberal news. Generally I'd say this is because there is 1 conservative media conglomerate (Fox) vs so many liberal ones (CNN, NBC, etc), and meanwhile the many ones I would consider "fair" (Al Jazeera, BBC, NPR, NYTimes, WaPo, NHK) seem so anti-conservative because, well, conservative politicians keep doing some pretty shitty things. That being said, Fox is a default source on my uncookied google news, and I've seen Breitbart and other extraordinarily conservative sources, so I don't think there is a Google-level explicit bias, rather a failure on the part of conservative-leaning media to present a perspective as level-headed as, say, NPR. When the best it has to offer is Fox, Breitbart, and InfoWars, I'm not surprised it gets churned.

Just checking through sources I had to block due to simply terribly ham-fisted propaganda attempts, here's other ones that show up on google news by default:

Investor's Business Daily

New York Post

RealClearPolitics

Screen Rant

His comments are not spot on. I’ve lived here for years (not native) and much of what he’s saying is overblown. Where are these $25 watermelons? I hauled them home all summer for like $8. Why can’t he find entrees for cheaper? My lunch today was $10. How jaded do you have to be to not recognize that NYC has a world class food scene if you want it? Chicago is cheaper but not 1/4 of the price. The list goes on.

NYC isn’t easy but it’s not anywhere close to as bad as OP is making it out to be.

This entire post is nothing more than a chance for OP to bitch about his frustrations with NYC. And I get it, I really, really do. But his complaints are overblown.

The very fact that his building has a garage and a doorman is a good indication that his experience is not representative of the entire NYC experience, and that he’s probably trying to live a lifestyle that just isn’t compatible with NYC and he’d probably be happier elsewhere. This city isn’t for everyone.

Too bad it's only for Python3 and installing both 2 and 3 is complicated. Would be a good program if it supported python2.

I'd say it more a textual encoding of LLVM IR. Which makes the s-expression text format of WebAssembly a text encoding of a binary encoding of a javascript encoding of a compiler intermediate representation of your program. Round and round indeed.
Serious question: what's the advantage of something like this over eBPF? As I understand it, you can generate eBPF bytecode from C and Linux already has a JIT compiler for it.
Genetic test that could tell you: "You most likely won't develop physical addiction to cocaine." would be a game changer in some demanding professions.

Most people could use cocaine as safely as caffeine but since you have no idea if you get addicted or not mostly dumb people try and some suffer greatly.
Take a Breath for Better Listening
I was going to bring up the JVM because it definitely was an attempt at the same goal. I think the obstacles this time around will be very similar for WASM, but it stands a far better chance due to its language and vendor neutrality, as you mentioned.

For user facing applications there remains the question of what sort of cross platform UI framework could accompany WASM. Or should WASM just remain coupled to the Web? Java’s UI solutions were often received very poorly and led to Java’s bad reputation amongst consumer software.

Analyzing the desires and goals of the big players (Google, Microsoft, Apple) with regards to how Wasm might develop is interesting.
Have you posted on Twitter or an Ask HN thread here?

I would stay away from Reddit, personally.
I think it’s a good question!

One thing I want to add is, many people around the world (for example many in India and China) don’t have access to Google Play. People with Amazon devices don’t have Google Play (although it doesn’t seem like there a lot of them).

It’s difficult for a small team to deliver a good product to all those different groups of people, and it’s frustrating that they’re instead serviced by the black market.
do you know which cappucino machine is best for steaming an egg?
How would this affect FLOSS where pretty much all licenses reject liability? I personally believe an engineer has an implicit liability on everything they built, no matter what the license says, but that's the status quo.
> Switch to bing

I've found Startpage and its sister site IxQuick to be a good alternative to Google. Same search results with a lot of detritus filtered out, keeps you out of Google's search bubble, and it has built in proxy features.

Instead of Bing, which tracks you for monetization on Microsoft's behalf (though I trust Microsoft with my information more than Google), try DuckDuckGo. It uses Bing as a back end but, like Startpage, proxies the query so your information and identity never hits Microsoft's servers. It's also a much cleaner page code-wise than any other search engine I've seen. It often comes up with more relevant results than Startpage; I find myself often searching both for the same subject so I don't miss what I'm looking for.
You're gonna have to show some evidence for your accusations, and show how those examples are not against the ToS of those services.

>Google has relatively few ways to actually give them money directly for software and media.

Doesn't Google sell music, e-books, and movies/TV through Google Play? They also have Google Play Music as a subscription service. I was counting the Play Store as buying applications from Google, although it isn't Google's first-party software.

Most of my "metro" experience comes from the midwest (Chicago, Minneapolis/St Paul, Kansas City) and maybe it doesn't count for much, but moving to the Bay Area was like taking those city-living annoyances and putting them on steroids. I can completely understand why SF takes the brunt of the criticisms.

PyPy is already way better than that, and has a Python 3.5 implementation.
> Well, the JVM was supposed to be this, but turned out to be too closely tied to the Java language, as well as too heavyweight for a lot of webpages

Agreed, but want to add wrt tied to Java the language, that stdlib it carries around is a large burden too. WASM will need a stdlib one day or suffer portability, so here's to hoping whichever one is adopted is small and simple (no, posix is not good enough like emscripten and this lib work with).
In her specific case, the factory didn't cause her father's debt. Sarah Bagley was born in Sandia, NH; like many of the early mill girls, she was a domestic migrant [1]. The roots of her family's financial troubles were just that her parents each had many siblings and then they had 4 kids, which meant that whatever property the family owned would've been long since diluted.

I don't want to make the point that she shouldn't have been fighting for labor rights - a 40 hour work week and egalitarian distribution of wealth is better than what conditions were like in the 1840s, and we wouldn't have gotten them without activists like her.

I do want to make the point that empirically, some period of time where everybody in the labor force is fucked over seems to be necessary for economic development. Without it, there's no incentive to, well, ditch the labor force for the far more uncertain world of entrepreneurship & innovation. And this has been observed in basically every industrializing country - Britain, Germany, Russia, Japan, now China.

Once the new industries and new technologies are established, then there's usually a consolidation period where social equilibrium is restored; in the U.S, this was from the 1930s-1980s. It appears that you can't do the latter until the former is complete, though, because you don't know what form the industries will take or what the centers of power will be. Unions were a very effective check on industrialists, but it seems likely they won't be nearly as effective in the information age, because the set of roles that workers occupy in the tech economy is more diverse, and their necessity to a company's day-to-day operations is smaller. If all engineers at Google walk off the job, Google Search will continue to run, and it will continue to run for several weeks afterwards. That blunts the effect of a strike or work stoppage.

Probably we need things like regulations around data ownership & access, pro-competition statutes, and widespread education & job training to restore social equilibrium in the data age. It's really hard to judge until all the technologies that'll make it up have been invented though.

The EM spectrum is a natural and effectively finite resource. Regulation was there to enforce standards and to build a market. The internet from its very inception has always been an interconnection of private property working over private property.

This the same reason why the FCC can regulate content on the airwaves, but can’t over cable. There’s no public property involved.

hi e12e,

yes, on-chain messages are designed to be "on the record" (https://viewer.scuttlebot.io/%25G7BjZsZr02TPAoIeD%2Bw3WgiAbi...), where the game theory is of an infinitely-repeated game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeated_game#Infinitely_repea...) where participants have verifiable knowledge of past game activity, which is useful for trust-based coordination.

our plan is to eventually add a side protocol for off-chain ("off the record") messages which re-use the same cryptographic identities, for all your other conversations. :)
It's only Safari on iOS that doesn't let you change search engines. If you install Firefox you can install any search engine you want and you can customize the search URL. It still uses the Safari engine under the hood, but the user facing bits are a condensed version of desktop Firefox, including tracking protection and sync.
Originally when they created a webkit (instead of blink) engine, it was a bit more above-board.

But then hubris and greed have done their usual job now that Chrome is the default.

Personally browse using Safari + FF on macOS.
I thought the whole point of a backwards compatible language like Java was that transitions should be relatively easy to make?
lol, nope. Like, what unit does one even measure corruption in?

GP appears to be expressing a rote dislike of MS uncritically carried through from the 90s. Nowadays they're nowhere close to Google or FB in terms of EITHER anti-competitive business practices or user/consumer/human hostile product designs.
eBPF is a limited, non-Turing complete language, in particular not having loops. Because of this, it's feasible to allow users to upload eBPF filters into the kernel, because execution is safe and and the time to run the filter can be upper-bounded.

Wasm, on the other hand, is a memory-safe interpreter, but unlike eBPR is Turing-complete, so it can run arbitrary programs.
I have no idea what Jones was doing, not being an InfoWars viewer or following the story closely.

But, I feel under no threat of being disconnected by my water provider because /they think/ that I am harassing someone.

For Jones in particular, I believe the appropriate channels of response are for the person being harassed to:
(1) Sue him
(2) Respond clearly.

The tech majors, who have mounting leaked evidence that their management is politically active in the workplace, should not be arbitrating what a publisher does. If they do, then they are publishers themselves, in which case they should be regulated differently and their status as publishers made very public.
Turns, out most of us are boring and predicable and storing prints for 10 000 songs is enough to recognize most of the songs people are listening to.

DDG is so good that I use GOOG maybe once a year as a secondary search engine. And I started with GS since it had a comically-terrible interface in 2000. I switched because they went evil and DDG was more than good enough being privacy-focused. The !bang searches are a big innovation and timesaver that sealed the deal.
I don't think it was warranted in that case either, it was an exicise in public humiliation, a bunch of people who never created anything getting off on talking down to someone much better than them.

OP intentionally left out the context to discount this study and the team intentionally did not disclose exactly because of deniers like OP that will use the lung infection as a crutch for their main argument: any effort on vegetative state rehabilitation is bad.
Why not increase the minimum font size instead?
go has something in the same general area of error handling called panic/recover. It's not exceptions in the normal sense, and devs expect nothing should panic across api boundaries.
Is it really a biopic though? Just not sure that was the objective of the film with respect to Turing's story. You could argue it would have seemed...gratuitous?? to allot significant time to his personal life in a movie primarily focused on telling the story (albeit with historical inaccuracies/omissions) of Turing's contributions to computer science (and more specifically to solving the enigma).

Honestly though I see your point, because they did show the flashbacks to his childhood as some sort of vague attempt at character development. Might it have been best to just not discuss it altogether? You could argue the story is "dramatic" enough without it (winning a war!). To try to do both in 1.5 hours or whatever is asking a lot.

There is precedent for all of this...it can be done and done well. The obvious comparison is "A Beautiful Mind" which takes a similar sort of framing story (brilliant academic's personal and professional life). They pulled it off there IMO and just weren't able to balance both here.
Why? I make almost twice the average salary of a Software Engineer in Paris here in Minneapolis. I could move to the bay area and make an extra $20-$30K but my rent and cost of living would sky rocket. I pay about $680 a month for rent in an excellent neighborhood of Minneapolis. Getting rent that cheap in the bay area would be impossible. Plus my friends working in Chicago have salaries equivalent to the bay area but their cost of living is almost half of the bay. Even though I make less in the Upper Midwest, the cost of living is so low that I can save more than if I lived in the bay.
If it was truly about policy they would have accepted the lawyer, it's theatrics and grandstanding and campaigning from that dais.
Where is the P2P decentralized search engine to rescue the world? Why is everyone set on cloud hosting, when we should be looking at ways to federate cloud resources and distribute them.
If you google "Crocodile in the Yangtze", it says released in 2012. The trailer has better video quality, my YouTube link is most probably pirated (and they added the Chinese subtitles, which means re-encoding).
To me, it comes across like a skewed, disproportionately-negative cognitive distortion, of what I won't speculate because I won't armchair/keyboard psychoanalyze.
Thank Wall Street, Rudy Giuliani, and gentrification. While the pictures from the 1980s seem desolate, the population of Brooklyn was not that much less in the mid 1980s when these pictures were taken: https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=ScGoR6.... There were people there, they were just too poor to support a robust ecosystem of gyms, cafes, and restaurants. The growth of finance and its satellite industries provided the money to support satellite businesses like restaurants and cafes. Meanwhile, in the mid-1980s, the city was overrun with crime. In 1985, there was a mob hit at 5:30 pm on 46th and 3rd in Midtown, outside a popular steakhouse. The area looks like this today: https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=ScGoR6.... Guiliani's aggressive prosecution efforts decimated the mob in the city.

That's the unfortunate mechanics of a society where there has been no income growth for the bottom half in decades. If a place was sketchy before and now it's nice, it's because yuppies moved in and pushed the previous residents out. In Brooklyn the percentage of low-income residents plummeted from 45% to 15%, while the percentage of upper-income residents jumped from 5% to 25%: https://www.nytimes.com/1982/09/20/nyregion/census-traces-ra....
Good question though. I think I want to implement server side, as long as it does not track user though.

There’s a delightful irony of those that loudly advocate for small government, laissez faire regulation, and claim to support free speech, to want a large government bureaucracy to tell a private company on what they should be compelled publish.
I think that the reason no one implements Krizhevsky's OWT (at least in normal training scripts, there's nothing stopping you from doing this in TensorFlow) is that the model parallelism in OWT is only useful where you have more weights than inputs/outputs to a layer. This was true for the FC layers in AlexNet, but hardly anyone uses large FC layers anymore.
My other comment was a little too negative, so here's two positive alternatives.

The American system of throwing lots of great things into unlocked dumpsters does wonders for the poor. It's much more effective than non-profits, who might only help citizens/legal residents/etc. When I was broke in California, I ate food from dumpsters for about 6 months.

The French recycling system has large bottle banks placed in each village, where plastic, glass, and paper can be deposited. The council also issues free compost bins to houses that have gardens, so they can dispose of organic waste and make their own fertiliser.

Other items (wood, electronics, furniture) take more effort. In France these can be taken to a "déchetterie", or scrapyard. That would be great, except that it's recently become a crime to remove items from these. That's actively hostile to the right to repair. In America it was often free to fish for scrap, and in Taiwan & Korea I'd just have to pay a small fee based on weight. Most of the computers and bicycles I owned came from scrapyards.

Can anyone else offer insight from other countries?
