Also, .Net Framework still doesn't have support for Span<T> on existing types like Stream. Though those APIs will be in .Net Standard 2.1, so presumably they will be in some future version of .Net Framework too.
Generally yes. Better technologically is usually not outweighed by having to learn and support something that has a smaller community base, and there's usually less people contributing to the ecosystem.

Python many not be the best language, but it has a package for everything and it's easy to find answers when you get stuck.
Pynchon writes a similar complaint in V about the "Baedeker world" of the late 19th century, where places like Egypt had begun to lose their local character and begun to all resemble a glob of similarly shaped tourist cafes.
>> What gives? Is this just part of the growing "corporatization" of Linux -- i.e. an investment of resources into a more corporate-controlled project

I always felt KDE was more of a corporate project. It's also been my impression that KDE comes with a lot more dependencies. IMHO GTK is a decent toolkit with lower complexity - it's GNOME shell that I really don't like but I live with it.
The cited study has an obvious and large flaw - a black child raised by an advantage white family is still black, and society will still treat them as a black child.
Could you encapsulate these dependencies into a separate service? I did that a while ago in a similar situation but as always it depends on your specific situation.
I can't say I have experimented this directly. I still give a lot of guidance to people whenever I see things that don't look right. But generally speaking the engineering team has gotten a lot better, and I'm mostly dealing with old legacy code noone's really looking at.

I think the right mind set if crappy code piles on is to think:

1. It's more work for me, so my employment is pretty safe

2. If I wasn't doing what I was doing, then the code would be even crappier. So all in all, this is my little contribution to a little cleaner world...

To say nothing of the apparently hundreds of people implicated in receiving stolen property. If you receive gifts worth millions of dollars which was stolen money, I mean are they even trying to claw back any of these millions from the “stars” he lavished?

First job out of college working at a healthcare organization, our healthcare system db was mssql. There was a column in one of the tables called `recordDeleted` which basically controlled whether or not the document would show up on the front end. I ran an update statement and forgot a where clause (specifying which records I needed to modify), setting thousands of records in prod to 'record delete' status, causing a whirlwind of confusion as to what was happening while workers were servicing clients.

I generally agree with you, but not with the "does not penetrate deep into the tissues" part. Non-ionizing radiation includes frequencies like 980nm (near infrared) which penetrates 3 centimeters deep at ~15W: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4552256/

Microwaves have wavelengths orders of magnitude longer than infrared light and can penetrate even deeper at the same wattage. It would IMO be VERY iffy to say that the possibility of photons emitted by a cellphone reaching the brain is zero.

> That thing everyone except the intolerant seem to understand remarkably well

Another example of trying to shut down discussion.

For example, a substantial number of people around the world understand 'tolerance' to mean 'nobody insults my religion' which, of course, means 'nobody depicts homosexual relationships'. Therefore, depicting homosexuality is intolerant, hein?

Well, .Net Core started as a subset of .Net Framework APIs. Now that they're adding a lot of them back with .Net Core 2.0 and 3.0, it's no longer accurate.

Though ASP.NET Core was never really a subset of ASP.NET.
I used to think the same about laptops, until I got my Macbook Pro in 2013. I wanted an SSD laptop, there weren't too many options at the time (at least not in my city), one of the options was the Macbook Pro and the difference in price was minimal compared to other SSD Windows machines, so I gave Apple a chance and... it totally changed my perspective as a customer, now I look for other things than just "specs", now I like to think I see the whole picture, why do I want to get a "better" CPU or more RAM for the money if all the other aspects of the laptop will be compromised (cheap materials, the computer needing maintenance to prevent slowdown over time). I'm writing this on that same machine, and it still works like the first day and it hasn't shown any signs that it won't keep working like this in a while, this is the first time I can say that about a computer.
The real issue with the parent comment is that it's not sustainable in the end. When they say "everyone but (x) understands this", they are alluding to a sense of shared understanding.

That, to a certain extent, is a culture. In a society with several cultures, alluding to a sense of shared understanding is virtually impossible, because the interpretation is at root a cultural one. There's simply no way to guarantee that what they mean by "intolerant" is exactly what everyone else means.

> Why don't we all steer towards the IBM PC clone model, but for smartphones?

The PC model was an accident and not generally considered a win for IBM, even if it was for other players (especially Microsoft) in the surrounding ecosystem; but Android is largely Google being trying to the Microsoft of the PC clone model without anyone having to be IBM (with much of their OS free, so that it enables the Linux-equivalent—where both it and the DOS equivalent are, well, Linux under the hood.)
I thought you meant the latter one, which doesn’t make sense to me by any angle.
It depends. Gnome only allows integer scaling by default (1x, 2x) and fractional scaling is hidden behind an experimental flag in the Gnome registry. If you only need 2x, it's a perfect solution.

KDE readily exposes fractional scaling (1x, 1.1x, 1.2x, ...) and it mostly works as intended, but with occasional artifacts: some raster icons looks torn, sometimes there are weird graphical artefacts between text lines in Konsole/Kate/etc (which is rather annoying), it only scales Qt apps well and needs nerdy manual tweaks for others (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, xterm).

I can't use Gnome on my XPS 13 because I need around 1.3x (and prefer a customized KDE anyway), so I have to put up with this.
I think that people in these debates are less interested in whether "words" are ugly and more in political projects pushed by those words.

When a guy in synagogue is shooting people, because he happen to believe that they are organizing immigrants to genocide whites, competitive left wing group trying to convince other guys does not make people in synagogue wake up from death. It does not cancel out.

You can be simultanously for free speech while accept the reality that words have consequences and words are often said in order to cause those consequences. To make people afraid and dangerous and ready for violence.
I see - good point.
Boiler Room did a much better job showing both sides of the coin.

FWIW I have not watched House, but that episode is referencing an actual technique developed by V.S. Ramachandran (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_box).

It's probably unrealistic to expect us to stop seeing threads about this (Gab's #1 objective at this point will be to make more noise and surely something "newsworthy" will happen with them sometime soonish). But it's worth noting that we've had several recent discussions about Gab stemming from the events that occurred after the mass shooting.

Here, Jeftovic is arguing from faulty premises. Correcting those premises might not change the conclusions he draws, but they're worth fixing anyways.

While it's true that the worst speech on Gab.ai doesn't come from the operators of the site themselves, it's not true that the site operators have clean hands. Gab's (verified) Twitter account has repeatedly been screenshot posting anti-Semitic comments, and retweeting white supremacist posts from others (for instance: they pointedly RT'd a white supremacist mocking Ken White, of Popehat fame, for being the adoptive father of Asian children). Gab itself openly embraces white nationalism.

Gab is white supremacist Twitter (you might have called it "white nationalist Twitter" before whatever weird Brazilian politics thing conspired to begin its transformation into Fascist Orkut, which is where it's heading now).

That doesn't mean you have to agree it should be taken off the Internet by GoDaddy; you can form coherent arguments in either direction. But the idea that it's being taken offline solely because of the actions of its users is false. It has the users it has because those are the users its operators begged to get.

That seems like it would be quite difficult. If it is colorizing a black and white image wouldn't it colorize the black and white image on the TV screen. You would almost have to train it to recognize old TV's that produce black and white images, so that it wouldn't colorize the TV screen. Unless you can get a unique signature from a black and white photo of a black and white screen. Fun stuff.

>Freedom of speech is a right provided by the constitution

No, it is not. It explicitly is not. Freedom of speech is one right among many other unstated rights held in common by the people. The first amendment merely prohibits Congress from passing a law that restricts it. The wording is clear that this freedom is something that exists inherently beyond the scope of the Constitution, and is certainly not "provided" by the document. We naturally have rights such as freedom of speech. It is from institutions like the government that restrictions are placed on them.

Also, the 9th amendment was included precisely to clarify and codify the fact that the Constitution, in enumerating the rights, is not itself granting those rights or even stating that these are the only rights people have.
Right, but they're competing with private universities. And those are adding administrators, facilities, etc. The public universities are keeping up with that. Without no default loans, the dynamic would change.
I think you'll find this isn't true. Invented in the 70s and in-use as early as 1985. But just like everything else, Apple was the game-changing commercial implementation of it.

Just because the slippery slope fallacy exists doesn't mean that every warning about unintended consequences is necessarily wrong. That would be a fallacy in the opposite direction.
The Big Four are indeed organised as groups. A headquarters entity (three in London, but KPMG is instead based in the Netherlands) owns the name, and then hundreds of notionally independent companies in other countries around the world use that name under license (for a fee and other conditions).

In practice obviously that headquarters organisation has considerable control, and key people merrily teleport from one "independent company" to another over their careers.

The appropriate word to describe them is probably "corrupt". If I can have two words, how about "very corrupt" ?
Um, destructuring is a very old concept in Lisp circles.

http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/m_dest...

Don't know if Rich first got the idea from Lisp or not, but it seems likely since he did a bunch of development in Common Lisp (generating C++, of all things :-D ) ages ago.

I don't remember if I heard him talk about that in the "Expert to Expert" video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wASCH_gPnDw ), or in "Simple Made Easy" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34_L7t7fD_U ). I think it was the former, but both of those are worth watching multiple times. It's also entirely possible that it was in an entirely different video of his -- but it was him.

I've yet to be disappointed in any of his talks, so if I'm wrong about the exact one, just keep watching any of his talks on YouTube till you find it. xD
I really dislike the title for this article. The way the NYTimes wrote it it's could be reasonable to assume that GS was just walking along one day and some really terrible fraud scandal jumped out and grabbed hold of it. It is worded to imply GS was related to the scandal but avoids implying they had anything to do with actually causing it.

Guilt and liability aren't the job of NYT to resolve but they phrased this very poorly.

(FYI, before down votes, I'm not anti-NYT and this isn't meant to be favoring either side of the political divide, it just seems like bad reporting)
Is it that strange given how long Red Hat seemed to prefer Gnome anyway? Maybe its just that I'm a Mac user, but I feel like I'd want my distro choice to be fairly opinionated and throw its full weight behind things like Desktop Env rather than splitting resources. There's plenty of good KDE-first distros like OpenSUSE and Kubuntu, though I guess if you're in a corporate environment and can't choose distro maybe that is the main pain point.

I took 1/4th, but I was working for a very successful finance company in New York. If you don't count the yearly bonus, I took about 2/3rd.

But the calculation should not be about the fraction, it should be about what you need. If you make $100/hr and work 5hr/day, that's $110k with 5wk vacation. I make more than this and I moved to France, so I make a very decent living compared to the local standards.
Techno:The Gathering – Parody game cards with techno scene content
In actuality, Gab bans users for the same reason Twitter does. For instance, when Paul Nehlen tried to organize harassment of another white nationalist figure, Gab banned him. Part of Gab's sales pitch is that it's a refuge for people whose thoughts are somehow too dangerous for Twitter. But contrary to what Gab wants you to believe, Twitter doesn't ban white nationalists. Richard Spencer has a Twitter account. So does Faith Goldy. For that matter, so does Gab, which has posted openly anti-Semitic comments in the past, and still has a verified checkmark!
Ask HN: What real-time analytics features do you care about?
We are creating an API that helps you ship real-time analytics with your product.

For example, a website builder might want to inform its customers how many views their websites get. The website builder would push data and then use our client library to create a real dashboard for their customers.

It works as follows:
1) You push data to our servers
2) You use one of our client libraries to query your data.
3) You graph the data.

We are looking into supporting features like periodic catching, client side catching, flexible queries, live data feed, etc....
