Eh, I'm not sure I'd agree with that. Many people treat Wikipedia as credible for most topics, but wherever there's a controversy (especially a political one), at least one side of it will probably be skeptical of Wikipedia's coverage of said controversy.

I'm also not a fan of using Wikipedia's criteria for valid sources on social media sites becuase it's not really an accurate measure. It's very much biased in favour of well resourced outlets at the expense of niche or freelance ones, despite what others in the field consider credible. For example, if you're looking for information about the next Pokemon game, what do you consider a reliable source? Something like Serebii.net, or something like Kotaku?

In the gaming field and media, the former is more reliable since they've built up a reputation in their field as an accurate source for information, whereas the latter isn't terrible, but is mostly reposted stories with less vigorous fact checking none the less. On Wikipedia however, they think the latter is more accurate, since it uses paid writers with a more professional layout and real name identification front and centre, which distorts the coverage a bit.

I basically commented a bit more about this in my article here:

I could probably find them, but we used Framemaker and I don't know whether I have anything that can open them now.
Because it wasn't socialism. It was a centrally planned capitalist economy. There were still commodity production, accumulation of value and a State that regulates value. The only way in which USSR and the Eastern Block was socialist is the way they called themselves. If they called themselves aliens, it would make about the same sense. Even Lenin called the system "State Capitalism" in his works. Socialism in the classic Marxist sense -- which is the exact same thing as communism, communism/socialism divide nonsense comes from Stalin and makes no sense -- is the society after capitalist economy collapses, and the natural force that makes capitalism possible is value generation. It's simply by-definition not possible to talk about socialism in a society that still has value (money), the division of labor (job), class (worker vs employer) and state (a body that regulates trade which is integral to capitalism). Marxism is above all materialism and ideologies like Marxism-Leninism is the most anti-Marxist thing imaginable.
You wrote " I can't even sympathize with someone so willing to grab their ankles."

I still think your attitude is very arrogant. Maybe one day you will be in a situation where you can't just quit and find anther job easily. This may help you learn to have more empathy with others who are in a less privileged position than you are.
The main underlying issue is that, aside from Linus, no one seems to believe that they are creating a product for which they should be responsible to users. Everything that is wrong is someone else's fault in some way, because the whole Rube Goldberg machine of Linux userspace is slapped together from disparate projects with no coherent design philosophy.
There is good news and bad news. The ODE integrators (etc.) in Apache Commons Math are great and work with unboxed types. In SICM, however, you'll be dealing with clojure functions generated by the system to map states to their time derivatives, and those states will be stored in "up tuples" and not native java []double. So copying must happen at state-derivative evaluation time. The system attempts to win back some speed by at least avoiding interpreting the state function. For the kind of explorations the book enables, it seems good enough. Also, you can "take your equations of motion out" of the system with ->JavaScript, and run that code in the browser with a suitable JavaScript integrator and that works too.
This does look really interesting for research and discovering conten. But I'm not sure how good a replacement it would be for more generally scraping content.

Firstly, if you are scraping you would generally only be targeting a specific list of sites, and you'd want to make sure you were getting the freshest content - which means going straight to the source.

Secondly, while plenty was shown around metadata, there wasn't much shown about extracting actual content. I had expected it to be some kind of clever, AI-hype product that extracted semantic data, but it appears to be much more rudimentary than that, effectively letting you query the DOM with SQL.

I don't mean to hate on it - this really does look interesting - I'm just not convinced there is any real value over existing (or custom) scraping tools.
At least as bad?
I'd recommend you use your weekend to read up on Stalinist Russia.
The entire medical profession is medication-first... my brother was diagnosed with MS and none of the many doctors he talked to mentioned ANYTHING regarding diet. Meanwhile as soon as you do your own research you find out that diet is your primary means of battling it. I was also diagnosed with depression few years ago, these fucking monkeys instantly gave me some ssris...I wasn't depressed. I had a sleep problem that wouldn't go away and had anxiety but they gave me those pills first and foremost. I didnt take that shit, but you get my point.
I wonder Sanskrit would be positioned in that analogy - like Lisp, maybe? Heh. I admit to bias about it, as an Indian and one who likes the language.
Would you be able to share how you were able to solve your problem and what the actually underlying cause was? Just a brief overview.

I’m currently on SSRIs and they actually do help me sleep, but it’s not really helping with the underlying problems.

As for SSRIs they are transformative for some people, and science doesn’t really understand the mechanism. They seem to think that there are secondary effects that are the reasons for the effectiveness of SSRIs on some people.

However, doctors seems to be too quick to prescribe SSRIs. I’ve read horror stories about people with some sort of iron-ferretin deficiency as their underlying problem and they were prescribed SSRIs instead of getting a simple iron test which would have pinpointed the cause of the symptoms.

These days you really need to do your own research and bring up all these points to your doctor.
Hasn't it been decades since a pure serotonin theory was tenable?
> “Anyone who can say this has the privilege of being fully insulated from revenue generation.”

You are incorrect. I work in a directly client-facing capacity and often have phone calls to help our actual clients and their product managers, and I have many internal stakeholders for my team’s work that are sales-facing and client-facing. Most of the quarterly planning meetings I am required to give input into are directly focused on revenue generation.

Because software velocity estimates do not have any correlation to the actual delivery timeline, yet they will be used for political bikeshedding by people who don’t know about the technival details, it is exactly in revenue critical situations that you want to get rid of the pretense of estimation and admit the truth that you have to simply measure by doing and frequently reporting blockers.

Can you explain a little more why you think state is hard to manage in Clojure? I've done a fair amount of data processing in Clojure, and I'd consider it one of Clojure's strengths.
How many millions need to die before you’re convinced the problem isn’t mere implementation details?
I don't think an idea of depression that's based on anecdote and opinion is deeper than the mainstream account - which is limited ('shallow') because of the complexities of brain function you've mentioned. The fact is, for the vast majority of depressed people (including myself), anti-depressants work. For some people, they don't. Granted, the healthcare system is as fucked as any other system in our society, but the basic science is, if not absolutely sound, at least playing the odds.
I lived in the Soviet Union. And you have no idea what it is to live under the totalitarian regime, that is poor and oppressive. You have no idea! Your words above is an empty brainless rhetoric.
We need to kick China out of Silicon Valley.

China is now US's competitor, as announced by VP pence a few days ago. White house top economist warned US businesses to 'Stay away from China'. China has hacked many US companies such as Apple and Amazon (who cannot deny because they have a big portion of business in China). Not to mention

1.) China is a dictatorship that is harmful to democratic and open market economies worldwide. It has imprisoned millions of muslims, forced muslim women to abortion https://www.rferl.org/a/kazakh-woman-tells-of-forced-abortio..., interfered with many other countries politics, and created artifical islands and set up military on those islands.

2.) China has stolen many techs from companies and governments around the world. When companies want to leave China, they are faced with huge taxes, blockade, and unable to extract equipments.

3.) China is very belligerent right now, fearful of its pending economic collapse. (no sane country would ban winnie the pooh, imprison its most famous actress for months, piss of every single country on earth, including other muslim dictatorships) It is raising up an army, and building up nationalism, with possible scenarios of first strike on US, Japan, or Taiwan. It needs military techs since it is way behind in military capabilities.

The study of fallacies in the West began with Aristotle, but it certainly hasn't ended there; Aristotle only lists a fraction of the things we consider fallacies today.

That said, I do think that more philosophical research is needed in the area. Unfortunately, most philosophers have focused on formal logic, even though informal fallacies are much more common.
Hmm, you're right. That is an issue, especially when there's bad blood between the employer and employee, and the latter doesn't want it on their CV or LinkedIn.

But that also means everything from Glassdoor needs to be treated with a pinch of salt. A non employee can write lies, a competitor can write lies with fake accounts, a boss can make fake accounts for non existent employees, employees can be coerced by those in power... you can never really be sure of anything there.
Do you have any suggestions on where to learn more about DI?
> I think the Linux desktop works just fine.

Sure, if you ignore all the data to the contrary. Despite repeated assurances from the Linux Desktop community that it is "good enough" it still has almost no buy-in, even though it is free. Valve has taken on the herculean task of making Linux Desktop a viable platform for games, which have long been an excuse as to why there's so little adoption, and still there are very few takers. Microsoft has seemingly put a lot of effort into trying to kill the Windows Desktop, and still there is no traction.

Until the Linux Desktop community actually starts listening to what users and developers are saying about why they don't like the Linux Desktop, and start taking responsibility for its problems, it is unlikely it will ever be taken very seriously.
You actually can increase security in a straightforward manner. Just increase the mining rewards and pay for it with inflation.
Not sure if I'm left-leaning or not, but the problem is that we need increased competition.

The reason why this is a problem is that sometimes it means decreased regulation, and sometimes it means providing more government services and more regulation. But that doesn't really fit well into the two major political parties.

For example, I'd probably seen as even more radical about healthcare than what you're writing--I'd advocate eliminating licensure laws and radically reorient the mission of the FDA in part by removing its regulatory authority over a lot of things it currently.

But I also advocate sharply reducing patents and copyright terms, and rolling out federal and municipal broadband. I also think public education needs a lot more funding.

It seems like political discussions in the US become oriented around protecting entrenched business interests, or protecting citizens through increased regulation.
It’s not clear if China as an open democracy can actually work in a manner that would result in a net positive to the people.

Look at India it’s much more of a free and open democracy than China but it’s also a much worse place overall.

The reality of governing 1.5 billion people might force you to rethink if a western style social democracy is applicable or even the best solution.

There is something unique about a country which seem to both somewhat care about its population and benefits form the power and single vision that comes form a single party authoritarianism.

When China sets its mind on something there are no ifs and buts they just do it and that seems to be the critical difference between them an India they don’t need to appease 5 billion different opinions about every thing.

China also seems to be somewhat of a meritocracy at least on paper with a large number of its ruling party members having engineering and exact sciences degrees more so than most countries where career politicians often opt out for law, economics and political science degrees.

Splitting China into smaller semi autonomous states might work better for applying democracy but it also might cause much more instability in the region so I’m not entirely sure that there is a good solution for them.

In fact to some scary degree China might be a pilot for what would succeed democracy when you actually have enough technology and infrastructure for a more centralized government.
> Didn’t they have a way to release changes and measure impact before just forcing it on their entire user base?

Many possible changes have positive effects short term, but negative or even disastrous effects long term. A/B tests won't ever run long enough to discover these long term costs. When A/B facts displace common sense instead of it complementing it, you can a/b yourself into your own grave.
IIRC, the average education level of women in the US when Lincoln was president was 2nd to 4th grade. Mrs. Lincoln had a 12th grade education. She was unusually educated and headstrong for a woman of her era.

A hundred years ago, a high percentage of Americans lived and worked on farms. It was pretty common to not complete high school. This is why the military created the GED. Now, most Americans live on cities and it is stigmatizing to drop out of high school.

Education levels have generally risen over the years. It seems to me that additional education beyond high school could well become a normal expectation.

There have always been "useless" humans such as infants, the very old and those who are disabled. There will always be such, though we are living longer and tech (among other things) is changing things for people with disabilities.

But I don't see any reason to expect, say, 80 percent permanent unemployment as the new norm. I think it is much more realistic and healthy to expect people to stay in school longer.

Students are not generally counted among "the unemployed" and are generally not considered "useless," even if they don't have a paid job. Granted, there will be challenges in providing that at scale and paying for it, but, unlike UBI, it at least ties money to socially desirable outcomes and increases capacity for productivity.
The problem is they do care about some westerners. How do you know which ones? You don't --- you assume you may be one of the ones they care about, and act accordingly.
Serious question, how is that working so far?

I’d love to have Alexa/Google hone functionality but I’m not comfortable having a device made by those companies always listening in my home.

Really looking forward to when a product using Mozilla’s tech is available.
> For the longest time Wikipedia claimed Bitcoin was a pyramid scheme

It was added to a list of Ponzi schemes with the qualification "Bitcoin has been called a Ponzi scheme" and a citation to an article on April 11, 2013. It was deleted on May 7 that year, in the very next edit to touch it.

Your characterisation seems to me tendentious in the extreme.

Anyone who understands that knowledge is not syntactic, and that expertise trumps word lawyering.

I apologise if you felt it was so. Nothing I said referred to any personal quality of you or anyone else. It was intended as purely an attack on the argument you made. The opposite of ad hominem.

"Dictatorship of the proletariat" necessarily collapses into plain dictatorship almost immediately, because there's no room for pluralism and dissenting factions. That's the problem with all the Leninist/Trotskyite/Maoist inheritors of Marxism. It was also the key difference between the social-democrat states of Europe west of the Berlin wall and the Communist states east of it.
You've also got LinkedIn which is doing well by all accounts (even after the Microsoft exit).

And Nextdoor which is much younger but cemented itself with steady growth and a unique network.

I don't think any of these companies will have trouble making substantial money at scale for the foreseeable future.

Snap's problems are unique to Snap.
I highly recommend Noam Chomsky's 'Manufacturing Consent' for a good look at the United States propaganda model and how big newspapers play a very large role in forming the public's opinion on both domestic & foreign issues.
This is cool. Just an idea, do you think that you can make it do select within the DOM? It would be amazing to do SELECT on the document from a human point of view.

I mean from human point of view there are no divs or spans on a page but articles, comments paragraphs pictures links and so on.

Sure it a much larger problem but Google for example seems to be able to extract categorised information from web pages.
"Site Isolation" is the name of a specific feature. As of Chrome 67, Site Isolation is enabled by default on desktop, so only tabs from the same (scheme, eTLD+1) can share processes, and cross-origin iframes are moved out-of-process based on the same rule.

When I went to university it was back in 94, and then people who took CS courses were pretty much self-taught programs already.

Sure "theory-stuff" was often new, because of the self-taught nature of the under-graduates. (I knew what a stack was because I'd done assembly-language coding, but I had no name for something I'd "created" which was a linked-list. Funny story.)

I assume nowadays with the internet people who want to code, can start early if they wish. Even if the lure of the outdoors is strong, and time is short.

With that in mind I'd assume any first-year student could write a system for updating data-files according to simple rules, (i.e. datafixerupper), and manage a simple parsing-class of some kind which would let you tokenize and react to "/send foo bar" input.
I looked it up:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sdm#nine-vol...

Get volume 3A and read chapter 9.1.4 at pg 315. The text is quite readable:

The address FFFFFFF0H is beyond the 1-MByte addressable range of the processor while in real-address mode. The
processor is initialized to this starting address as follows. The CS register has two parts: the visible segment
selector part and the hidden base address part. In real-address mode, the base address is normally formed by
shifting the 16-bit segment selector value 4 bits to the left to produce a 20-bit base address. However, during a
hardware reset, the segment selector in the CS register is loaded with F000H and the base address is loaded with
FFFF0000H. The starting address is thus formed by adding the base address to the value in the EIP register (that
is, FFFF0000 + FFF0H = FFFFFFF0H).

Any change to CS reverts this to normal real mode operation. So near jumps are OK, far jumps or interrupts are not.
Did you try to set up a few axioms for the environment beforehand to try and contain actions within the context of the game? I always envisioned declaring a group objective of betrayal so that someone doesn't try to come in with preconceived tactics based and bonded on real world relationships.

Just responding to this hyperbole:

> The notion that government can’t do anything right is a destructive one and it needs to die quickly. Privatization in industries that ought not be profit driven is a bad thing.

In the cited case of the article, the government was at least as at fault as the contractor. Just because the government contracts something out, doesn't mean that less quality should be expected.

In many cases, the government may have the responsibility to do something, but lack the expertise to do it. Should the government go ahead and try to do it anyway? Or, should they try to contract it out? These are not always easy decisions, but in either case, the government is still in charge and is responsible.
Market cap isn't perfect by any means, but if there was a better metric that could be used to get a quick valuation of something then the stock markets would already use it.
Patio11 has a great tweet thread about it:

https://mobile.twitter.com/patio11/status/988094196274769920
Yes, initial CS descriptor has base FFFF0000 and limit 0000FFFF, and initial EIP is FFF0. Paging is disabled so first instruction is fetched from physical address FFFFFFF0. This has been true since the 386.

See 386 datasheet, page 20:

https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/Intel%20PDFs/Int...

The 8086/8088 is slightly different since it doesn't have protected mode; initial CS:IP is FFFF:0000 which gives a first address of FFFF0. The 286 is closer to the 386+ but its 24-bit address space means the first instruction comes from FFFFF0 instead.
Your best bet, from an ideological perspective, is NOT a cloud hosting provider or a dedicated host, but buy rack space, and put your own servers in.

Control access to the machine/s.

This is more expensive, and not foolproof. But other hosting providers have so much access to track or log things, even if you don't want them to.
IME (20 years in web-related software dev / arch / mgmt), the best ROI in this area comes from two things:

- good commit messages

- references to persistent requirements artifacts (eg Trello cards, Jira tickets, whatever)

YMMV... but really doing these two things makes a huge difference.
My apologies is I misread what you said, it looked like your reply was to "anyone running their own cluster is insane" in the previous comment. And as I said, to me that means "on their own bare metal servers".

I'm talking about getting a Kubernetes cluster (of any kind really, but specifically on-prem) _integrated_ and doing useful things with existing legacy workflows inside your company using an existing infrastructure is a larger task than I see it made out to be.
