I really like this term "3/4 stack developer". Is it used elsewhere or did you make it up?
I’d have to be sarcastic to say that was an interesting or useful perspective to which I had never been introduced.

I’ll leave this to other people to battle off HN. Best of luck informing yourself about how to not use perjorative terms to slander vast amounts of people.

As far as immigration control, I disagree with your scenario. Since my comment was about people who supposedly abhor regulation, i’d like to make sure to apply the same logic to pollution, financial fraud, lobbying and labor abuse.
Correct, it works either way.
90% of my calls are spam. 10% are my mom. I use privacy protection (Contact Privacy Inc.) when registering domains but still get robocalls from numbers that are spoofed to look like mine (same area code and first three digits). One thing that seems to have helped reduce the incoming robocall volume is that I turned on Google Voice's call screening, which I think requires the caller to record their name before putting the call through.

I live in a country which has an exception to free speech. There are things you can't say here.

It hasn't hurt much. There have been minor scandals — someone got in trouble for selling these: http://shop1.creativ-world.de/index.php?page=product&info=36... But the exception hasn't grown. The exception was written into law about seventy years ago and has stayed effectively unchanged. No slippery slope.

Do you know about anyone who has had a slippery-slope effect from legal exceptions on free speech? I can't think of any right now, but that doesn't mean much...

A huge chunk of people uses Facebook, like it or not. Facebook shapes what they see and how they see it, it at least partially shapes their perception of society. And even if you and me opt out of Facebook, the way Facebook shapes that dialogue for that huge chunk of people does affect your daily live.
I never understood that mentality.

Not once have I had an insurmountable problem with any Linux platform.

The same is not true with Microsoft, Oracle and IBM from experience, even with paid up top tier support. Even 60,000 employee defence companies have no real power. I've seen someone forced to throw a registry fix out to 5000 desktops (over hundreds of disparate sites) because MSFT wouldn't fix a fucking bug.
In the notification settings there are advanced filters to remove notifications from accounts that you don't follow, don't follow you, new accounts, accounts that have unconfirmed contact information. I don't know any other platform that offers so much control. I have been lucky to never experience this type of abuse but if I were under attack I would apply advanced filters until the storm passes. Twitter could certainly do better (and could take more of a stand against cut and dry abuse), but in the meantime there are tools in the hands of users today to take control of unwanted notifications.
There's a lot more to it than that. They are hard and easy in different ways.

For one thing, your hardest examples are easy to learn and execute. The barrier to entry is low and a lot of people can do it. Not so much with tech, for example. There's a lot of work you have to put in before anyone is going to pay you and you may be breaking new ground. The ongoing work is often very hard, very complex and not fun.

Wine and ReactOS are probably our best bet for archiving programs and making them usable in the indefinite future. With Wine, you have the advantage of having access to the source code, both to peruse and modify. Being able to edit Wine's source code and use its debugging facilities does help a lot in figuring out compatibility issues.
If we go with this analogy honestly, we have to recognize that the vast majority of the programming world is hobbling around in prescribed footwear, and a good lot of it has bits of gravel and broken glass.
The map separates the Bay Area of California from the rest of California, hence being 74(if you zoom in to see the dark portion for the bay area).

I often wonder about the extent of training done by early-modern olympic caliber athletes. As the olympics were originally supposed to be for amateurs, it sounds like a person who devoted most of their time to training was not considered a fair sport.

It's not about money though, at least for me. I can afford Win 10 just fine, and would also be paying for archlinux and/or Debian if they actually cost anything. But here I am using a free-as-in-beer OS because of other factors. If all games could run in my OS things would just be more practical, regardless of their cost.
In France, I've never worked for or even heard about a company that uses Suse. It's usually Debian if the sysadmin have all latitude, RedHat if certifications or having a company behind the product mattered for the managers.

TOTAL FailURE OF HEALTH OFFICIALS TO CONTROL EBOLA EPIDEMIC IN CONGO
Let’s see if that happens, but that’s tangential to the point. The GP was asserting that you can just ignore Facebook/Google and that act alone will remove all (ill) effect it might have on your life. I’m asserting this is false. If that effect is reduced by regulation, then this is the opposite of ignorance, it’s actively shaping what these actors can and cannot do.
Have you actually tried it? It's different than you think. (At least it has been for me).
The situation on Google Play is getting serious, just check out the author’s twitter account. Every day several apps are detected, and this is probably just a small part of the total number. There are also lots of fake apps that don’t do anything (RAM increase, battery repair, ...) and either contain malware or at least they bombard you with ads (or make fake clicks on ads).

>I think Twitter's move to 280 characters led to a massive improvement in overall quality

280 is a far more reasonable limit than 140, but it's too little, to late. The Twitter "mindset" has already settled and it's not pretty.

> There's no where else I can get into a discussion/argument with anyone from Elon Musk

In most cases it's an illusion of a discussion. You think you're being heard, but for a person with as many followers as Musk you're just an ant in an anthill.

If you think Twitter has discussions, you haven't seen actual discussions online.

I've visited some message boards where the same core group of people participated for years. We did elaborate projects together. The discussions of some subjects there fundamentally changed my outlook on things. Some of those people became my actual friends I keep in touch with. "Social" media has almost none of this. People can cite counter-examples, but those are one in a hundred thousand and could be easily replicated without social media anyway.
That has to be "fun" to work with...

Configuration Management and Deployment Survey
The latest release of GPGTools for the Mac also contains a third party tracker. From their FAQ[1]:

=====
Why am I seeing an outgoing connection to analytics.paddle.com/paddle.com. Why are you tracking your users' activity?

We are absolutely not tracking our users' activity. We do perform an initial remote verification of the activation code, which is the reason why you are seeing this connection. Paddle does provide the feature to track user activity but we explicitly don't enable that. Unfortunately the endpoint for the API (vendors.paddle.com) and the endpoint for their analytics feature (analytics.paddle.com) share the same IP, so dependent on what the result of your macOS's firewall reverse DNS lookup is (built-in, Little Snitch, etc.) you might either see a connection to vendors.paddle.com or analytics.paddle.com

And that's on a desktop platform.

I remember reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and getting inspired by the author's success with his described approach to entrepreneurship and real estate.

I also remember when I found out he wasn't actually very successful until he started selling self-help advice stuff like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad."

As they say, during a gold rush the safest way to get rich is to sell picks and shovels. Why go through the risk of running an actual real estate business when you can convince suckers to pay upfront for advice, I guess.
I think that could be resolved by downvotes losing their power if they themselves get downvoted.
> There's nothing about the scenario you described that would be affected by having, or not having, a Phd in CS.

For starters, understanding there is a basic feedback cycle, where your ML in rejecting claims, directly affects patient treatment, wouldn't escape the attention of a PHD.

Part of doing research, is anticipating questions you might not ordinarily think of, in connection with your research i.e. to examine the literature for known unknowns. Guess what? You think he looked, even after being directly apprised in VERY clear terminology?

> It's also a pretty niche example, which is not representative of the kinds of things that ML can be used for.

Fraud detection, niche? Thats what he is doing. Looking for "patterns" of fraud. He's just lazy and doesn't actually want to look at his data. Which again, means he shouldn't be running ML++. ML trains bias built in; and doesn't handle drift particularly well (isn't robust). You can do all sorts of things to try and address it. But thats only if you know about it (and care to pay for it).

Some things, ML isn't suited for.

Its like that woman diabetic who died, because some bureacrat cut off her foodstamps, even though they knew it was a bureacratic error; or that police officer, who let a man with cardiac arythmia die in the back of his car, because he had to "follow procedure". Except, worse. At least these people can be dragged out into the light, and fired. ML? who keeps track of that?

++ actually it means he shouldn't be running an insurance claims "fraud detection" company. but is a larger point outside the topic.
I mean, it was just a joke, but perhaps you need to lookup what 'franchise' means.
PostgresQL used to have an unusual bug tracking system: you report the bug, and either someone on the mailing list volunteers to fix it, or it's dropped. It has the advantage that you don't have an ever-growing collection of bug reports.
Depends on the game. Totally agree for FPS, but e.g. EA Skate was basically designed to be played with two sticks.
You can also eat a very low-carb diet. Restricting your carbs to foods like greens and berries will have the same effect without the need for a prescription. Gluconeogenesis is demand-driven.

Of course, in the context of anti-aging, Metformin may have other beneficial effects outside of moderating glucose levels.
No. Many classes of games are better with a keyboard (even those which don't heavily rely on mouse input, i.e. FPS/RTS/MOBA). In addition to a mouse's advantage, you can use all five fingers, instead of making the thumbs do almost all of the work.

This is an area where flash actually did a good job. What was the deliverable from someone building a flash site to the web? The flash binary. There was little reason to try and blend the tooling of what the flash author built with the rest of the site. It was typically the point of the visit.

Instead, we try and do a ton of stuff to setup the developer to more easily incorporate a designer's work. We do basically nothing to allow a literal handoff of a deliverable.

Until that changes, I don't see it getting any more straight forward for designers/developers any time soon.

Maybe because zero progress has been made in regards to cognitive decline, vision preservation/restoration and retarding or reversing joint deterioration?

Just a hunch...

Worldwide life expectancy is 1.48 times what it was in 1950 and yet:

- Cancer rates have experienced a 6% (Leukemia) to 183% (Multiple Myeloma) since 1950

- 1 in 10 Americans over the age of 65 has Alzheimer’s.

- According to the Vision Council of America, approximately 75% of adults use some sort of vision correction

- For women, they can start to show signs of joint pain due to aging after age 50, while men are likely to see it before age 45

- Roughly 7 million people in the United States are living with a total hip or knee replacement. Continuing pain is common.

So cool, some worms live an extra 2-3 weeks and have infinitely less exposure to UV radiation, wholly lack joints, have incredibly simpler brains, live orders of magnitude less to be exposed to random radiation and countless compounds that can cause genetic mutations and damage, experiences orders of magnitude less environmental stress over their lifespan etc.

Please ask and report back as a data point! I obtain Metformin through non-traditional channels, as I don't have a PCP and Walgreens/CVS aren't able to prescribe it off label. Life would be easier if it could just end up in my mailbox once a month/every three months.
Do you have a particular example of something that should be simple but has become pointlessly complex? In my experience when people complain about complexity they are often complaining about a change from the thing they know to something they don't. On objective examination it can be the case that the old way wasn't simple either, because the complexity is inherent. Typically we move it around, put abstractions around it, but don't really change it fundamentally.
Personal anecdote: Since SteamPlay dropped I have not rebooted into Windows once. I've been pretty impressed at its ability to handle the games in my catalog. That said I'm pretty sure I've just been lucky thus far.

The only problem I have is when a game has a broken Linux port there doesn't appear to be a way to tell Steam to use the Windows version instead. An example of this is Eador, which has horrible graphics problems and is effectively unplayable on Linux due to it being a very slipshod port. I'm willing to bet that using SteamPlay on the Windows version would work much better if Valve would give me the option.
Wow, that revenue graph is pretty shocking and enlightening to me. I know IBM is a huge behemoth but never knew it had much higher revenue than Microsoft for most of 2000s.
> SUSE makes them uncomfortable because they're unsure of how to pronounce the name.

Amusing the irony in this considering most people pronounce "Ubuntu" and indeed "Linux" incorrectly.

FWIW, it was the first distro I ever tried back in 1999 and I always pronounced it "Suzy" but have heard a few variants. Everyone pronounces different words differently so it doesn't really matter.
I've never done any applied statistics that I know of, so I'm not sure!

For a 2D map the loose layout of the algorithm is this: construct a 2D array of blank tiles. Choose a tile at random from the set of most-constrained tiles (this is currently all of them as they are all equally unconstrained) and give it a value according to some distribution. Constrain its neighbors' potential values and update whatever system you use to track most-constrained-tiles for selection, then repeat until no unset tiles remain.

Depending on the complexity of the distribution (# of tile types and absoluteness of neighbor relations), you may end up with a contradiction where an unset tile has no possibilities. At this point you could progressively backtrack, throw the whole set away, or fudge something, depending on what matters to you in life.

You can end up with some very cool things!

The problem has some neat aspects to consider in how to represent tiles, how to track constraints, how to efficiently update your selector, how to design your distributions, etc! There are a ton of avenues to explore.

I make no claims on the goodness of this example or its implementation, but I wrote a small game to use/test my wfc code here: https://wcarss.ca/jabiru/ -- the maps generated are entirely outputs of the algorithm.

The term we're looking for here is "poverty trap."

A poverty trap is a circumstance where people are forced to take a more costly short term move. The canonical example is buying a $35 pair of shoes twice a year instead of a $50 pair that might last two years.
