> Not generally. The good stuff will stick around. The stuff that isn’t as good wont.

Only to the extent that good and profitable overlap.
I understand they want clicks and the general incentives for clickbait, and thus why the title might be a tease. But they also need to keep people on the site to view and click on the ads (especially near the bottom). So, for instance, why not tease more with a subtitle? Maybe the idea is that, empirically, the small fraction of people who will trudge through the article to find the mystery topic, for whatever reason, nevertheless stay for long enough that total ad exposure is higher. So the bounce rate is high but outweighed by these outliers.

It still doesn't help me understand their motivation though. Like, there are a thousand news articles each day that begin with an intro thats indistinguishable (information-wise) from this one. Why read this one?
Well that's interesting, I did the opposite. I bought the xps 13 9350, and the Intel 8260 in there was terribly unstable. I opened it up and put in a killer 1525, which also was unstable. Then I replaced it with a killer 1535 and it's worked perfectly ever since. Perhaps the 8260 was just a bad model?

Some important fixes in amdgpu for Vega there. It's finally waking up from sleep properly when using DisplayPort.
I was there to witness the private mailing list that culminated in this, and there was a very clear example of that happening there.

A certain GNU contributor, let's call her Sal, was voicing concerns with current practices. Someone else replied to her with "Sally," condescendingly talking down to her. To this she said, "I did not invite you to call me by a nickname. Call me Sal."

A sub-discussion then erupted about the etymology of "Sally" and whether or not it was technically correct to someone who preferred "Sal" to be called "Sally" instead. Instead of, you know, just calling people what they want to be called and be done with it. And not be condescending about it.
So You Want to Be a Blockchain Engineer
I’m in the late stages of the interview process for a heavily SoftBank-funded company that would otherwise be my top choice, and I’m strongly considering turning them down because of that. So if you want a definitive answer, ask me again in a week.
But I already pay them extra for that and they do work and profit with my money. You think your bank is just doing nothing with your money? I think its not too much to ask to want to at least get interest matching inflation. But go defend the noble banks why not.
If that makes a substantial part of the project. Of course, the meaning of that is likely to be decided by courts...but if your project literally consists of 50% recycled SO content, it might suffer from worse issues. #understatement
Yes, hiding notes on the back of a window doesn't look a good idea. Furthermore it hides the object of the note from the user when the user is writing the note. One really needs good memory.

I looked through the video and I didn't see anything I want to use. Some concepts made their way into some current desktops (the dock, floating windows on alt tab) or maybe were copied from some previous one. I don't use docks, I take my time to remove them from the desktops I use. If I can't, I use a different OS.

Ah, misunderstood that people were reacting to the second sentence ("because of this ..."). That part is definitely stupid. The "spousal benefit" should be considered as attached to the earner and should be unaffected the spouse's waiver of her own accrued SS benefits.
See section 8.5 of http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~cis610/convex8.pdf for the analysis showing that the stereographic projection is the projection that preserves the properties needed for Delaunay triangulation.

It's everything surrounding this statement that is refreshing. Hearing, "Diversity is not our goal; creating an environment that welcomes diversity is," runs counter to the incessant assumptions that going out of our way to collect diversity tokens is the end all and be all to facilitating diversity.

The irony of unkind communication in a thread discussing new guidelines around kind communication is just painful.

Please don't accuse others of not paying attention. It's not nice, and it does a bad job of communicating your message.
Or maybe, it makes sense to identify why something failed and label it as such.

Double-check the source and followup; I think you have misinterpreted the intent of the linked tweet (sarcasm travels poorly over text media, especially one that enforces a curtailed message length).
To me, the answer has more to do with discerning the spirit of the conversation rather than adopting any particular protocol. There will always be some joker somewhere that will violate the rules that one adopts in such a way that debate is created that causes a system to self-destruct.
Yeah good call on the MTK chipset, looks like that's the case. :(

> Lessig lays out the historic case for the Framers' understanding of corruption as a systemic phenomenon, in which the structure of institutions demand that even the best, most moral people sacrifice their principles to thrive (or just survive)

One of the most annoying aspects of social discourse right now is that everyone is redefining words and very few people have a common meaning for important words. Lessig's definition of corruption is different than my definition and different than the legal definition. I see this happening all over the place "hate speech" is also a good example every time I have a conversation or read an article about "hate speech" the definition has changed.

How are we supposed to have civil discourse when the meanings of words are constantly shifting?
I recommend only writing when it is necessary, so e.g. you might want to log to /dev/null or tmpfs (I chose the latter but it adds up in RAM). Also, disable swap if at all feasible.

On top of that I recommend industrial grade SD cards using (a)MLC. They might be a bit more expensive but it is worth the stability.

I learned this from these posts (among others in the same thread 'Raspberry Pi microSD card performance comparison') [1] [2]

The Truth Behind Cassandra's Consistency, Transactions and Secondary Indexes
That's still a fallacy, even if the mechanism behind is successful on average. Assuming a bank teller is non-feminist is rational only if the feminism matters, which it does not. Even if 0 bank tellers are feminist, it's still unhelpful (and harmful is even 1 bank teller is feminist) to assume that an unknown teller is feminist for the purpose of the question. Prejudices are often statistically more correct than incorrect (though socially problematic), but in some cases are still flat-out inorrect, as they are in this example. Too to much of a "good" thing is toxic.
Labor costs have increased faster than average, i.e. faster than the index.

Your uncharitable interpretation of the tweet you linked cannot be read as accidental.
ok but what is the quality control like on all these tools to help do you illegal stuff? Better or worse than normal software.

Is there any open source tools to help you do illegal stuff? Because if you can't see the source I think a good illegal tool moneymaking scheme would be to sell the tools to do illegal stuff and then blackmail the people who did illegal stuff for a part of the money. but that might also be dangerous.
Nowadays a google query for "sounds guinea pigs do" gets 8.6 million hits, and they seem decently on target all the way through page 3.
I too felt the author’s snobbery towards lesser connectors. I felt the same way towards equipment that did not have SDI as well. As cool as HDMI is, the connector is just not a secure attachment. It is today’s equivalent of the yellow/red/white video/audio jacks of older equipment. It is too easy for it to be pulled out accidentally. The twist lock secured connection of BNC is just reassuring.
i'm no expert but here is my opinion, feel free to criticize:

The world of hardware is going through a lot of growth lately with power hungry Machine Learning models and the arrival of self-driving cars (even semi-autonomous cars), cars have been transitioning to becoming computers on wheels.

I'm long on AMD, NVIDIA, and MU (for its upcoming non-volatile RAM).

Hope this helps, cheers!
My guesstimate is that the number of URLs that are shared on Facebook AND that already have a completely orthogonal "fbclid" parameter is infinitesimal.

Maybe among the URLs shared on Facebook there are a few whose servers only respond to a fixed amount of parameters, changing their behaviour when additional unused parameters are appended to the query string, but I imagine that the number of such cases is so low it's not even worth considering.

What exactly is Facebook breaking, in your opinion?

Would Facebook also break things if they were instead making an async request to the destination and appending a custom header to it, something like "X-Coming-From-Facebook"?
Hmm, on what factual basis did you come to the conclusion that there is a strong association between author's gender and illustrative nature of a math/science writing?
There is absolutely not a shred of evidence that the US has invaded anyone over the petrodollar.

It makes no sense in any geopolitical construct.

It's about on par with Obama being from Kenya.

Starting a war is a huge thing requiring a lot of political momentum, and almost nobody in the White House ever even knows what 'petrodollar' really is, they have no instinct for why it's important for America, and there are zero Treasury officials or folks from the Fed running around saying 'let's invade' over this or that.

The list of 'usual reasons' for invading Iraq and Libya are all in public domain by now - we know the things that Bush, Cheney, Obama etc. have talked about, we know their reasoning.

There is ZERO talk of petrodollar among them - ever - for any
reason, because it's irrelevant.

Military Generals sometimes fret about national security but there are ZERO instances wherein they'll talk about the petrodollar they have no idea even what it means.

The reason that most countries price in Oil is because it's very convenient to do so.

Do you think Saddam Hussein wants worthless Chinese RMB? What's he going to do with that currency? Send it to Germany to buy factory equipment? No. RMB is worthless outside of China. So what then? Pounds? Pesos? Aussie Dollars?

The only currency that could remotely be considered are Euros, but then, what's the point? Because USD are still superior and you're going to have to trade for them anyhow.

Yes, America gains somewhat from the petrodollar - and yes, they will lean on people and strong arm to keep people in check, but nobody has ever invaded anyone over currency pricing.

Marine lumber generally isn't selected for hardness. Generally speaking, rot resistance is the most desirable characteristic. Apparently greenheart is superior to most other wood in this regard. Teak has traditionally been used for this reason as well, but is getting expensive. Black locust is starting to become popular as well.

Apparently greenheart is relatively rare and prone to exploding when milling, however.

Oh yes you can!

I remember stackoverflow in the early days and it was useful from the beginning. Sure, there were always some persnickety zealots who acted as self-appointed police "protecting" the community from subjectivity and duplicate questions with all the sensitivity of a clock-maker wearing oven mitts.

In the last 5-6 years, however, it has been overrun with such strange behavior. One can't simply ask a question unless it meets an unreasonably high standard-- and even then perfectly good questions get slapped down for no reason at all.

In what way did uBeam deceive the public? They never raised money or sold the public any products.
The catalog price of the home is just for the materials, though, isn't it? It's not taking into account real estate, legal, administrative, or labor costs. Those are probably what's driving housing cost more than anything these days. I imagine you could get just the materials necessary to build the Classic home for around that much.

"[All SO had was] tremendous UX" - that's no small feat. Remember expertsexchange et al? And the data-cloaking tricks? "Pay up or no answer for you"? shudder Those were dark times...dark times.

Perhaps SO is not the knight in shining armor, as it may have seemed then, but it certainly helped change the landscape for the better.
Wow! That was a super fast read :D Coincidentally, the next article will talk about just that! Make sure to keep an eye for that link.

However, the thing to keep in mind is, your own websockets server would lack some serious attributes such as scalability, message ordering etc unless you have a dedicated distributed systems engineers' team working on it!
They probably don't; I doubt many designers are thinking "wow, I really want to inundate my user with pop-ups," it's more that analysts have likely got numbers showing that having x calls to action yields y% more subscribers or can produce z% more ad revenue.

I can't stand chatbot popups on websites, because I know what I'm doing and don't like being bothered, but I can imagine that an older or less tech-savvy demographic might find the instant tech support quite novel.

OK, let's argue the way the "anti-diversity" people normally do in these threads.

You assert that advocates of diversity want people:

going out of our way to collect diversity tokens

You must now present, to me, and separately and individually to any other person who asks it of you, a minimum of five credible primary sources of people who advocate diversity and who have used exactly this phrasing -- no paraphrasing, no "well that's what they meant", nothing other than precisely those literal words -- in an explicit demonstrative factually-intended statement of their goals.

(hint: you won't be able to, because you're in the "get all your information from people who want to misinform" camp)
Absolutely. I've had to implement protocols from a spec using various guides that had really bad diagrams of how the data is laid out. This tool could have made them a lot better. And as others have pointed out its extremely useful for binary file type diagrams.
I don't think that's right, or at least not so binary. The average person (and even highly rational people, when they are being informal) uses "logical" reasononing that is intuitive, not calculated, not so different fro "muscle memory" of shooting hoops. Even professional mathematicians, (in published papers!) sometimes make statements that "feel" correct even though they are disproven under scrutiny (and not due to small (but important) mistakes like getting a sign wrong in a calculation)

Why Large-Scale Quantum Processor Simulations Matter
So, I read through the list of guidelines, and while I have some minor quibbles with them, overall they seem fine and reasonable.

But what happens if someone refuses to be kind? What happens if that person is a major contributor? What would happen if, in some strange alternate reality, Linux was a GNU project, and Linus-of-2012 said he'd really rather not care about all this politeness nonsense, and would prefer to continue on the way he was?

The problem I see with your bees/honey comment is that there is no commitment here from the maintainers and leaders of the project. This is just a more verbose "Be kind to each other", but without any commitment from the leadership of the project to actually maintain a kind, welcoming environment.

A non-committal claim to be kind may be honey, but its on a flytrap, and many people recognize this.
The whole point of this is to not have teeth. It's not supposed to be used as a weapon.

Personally, I haven't contributed to (or not held my nose at) any open source project where contributors have enough free time to spend harassing other contributors rather than commit more code. Who has the time to be bothered, on either end of it? Maybe they're spending too much time in the politics of it rather than the work of it to begin with.
Can't Find an Affordable Home? Try Living in a Pod
The evolution of language has never not been a thing. Part of having a civil discourse is keeping up with evolving societal definitions.

Maybe technology is speeding that evolution, given the rate at which we're able to converse, you could convince me it's more difficult to keep up with the evolution today than it has historically been.
FWIW I made a meta post about my experience which I realize now that I've seen it - sounds exactly like the 'Welcoming" blog linked below - word for word. It went over about as well as you'd expect.

At least someone is aware of the issue. SO is such a great resource. I'd hate to see it die. The community just needs to take themselves and the content a lot less seriously imo.
This way of thinking folds neatly into modern identity politics that considers people as groups and not as individuals.
