>As a PHP dev when I have to perform something is to find if there is a Linux CLI app that does this, install the app on the server and call it (like ffpmeg, wkhtml2pdf, an epub to mobi app, etc) I can trust a CLI app that is packaged in Linux then a random package.

This is only better because your distribution has a curated set of packages with trusted maintainers that (in theory) read through the source code to make sure it's not doing anything malicious.
This article was a great example of something that will never be useful to me, but I was still willing to sink an hour into digesting it. Fascinating read.
nothing would be lost, i visit reddit for some subredits but if it gets blocked i can do what i did before reddit and go back to forums.
Most likely it won't as it only hosts text, and links + individual words is ok

(the reason I'm less worried about Art 11 is two fold: first is that I do agree that content scraping like Google News should be under agreement and that it will be worse for the news orgs than they think it will be)
Super unnecessary to point this out.
I think you're trying to project and are seeing more than what there really is.

For 99,9% of the people who have an issue with such things it's not about "oh, it's hiding very well as a human and could take over, I distrust AI more due to it".

It's about the uncanny valley problem of our brain being pattern matcher, and having difficulties classifying the AI using these new features as the "human pattern" or the "AI pattern" and so we don't like it / feel weirded out by it. Give it a few years and suddenly it has become part of the AI pattern and all is well.

I'm not saying distrust toward AI is growing or not growing, but that it doesn't even play at all in the public reaction to such AI features.
This is true only if explicitly called out in documents you sign when you join the company, or sign a consulting contract. There needs to be language that calls this out.

Mind you, pretty much every US company has that as part of their HR policy or contract agreement.
This is awfully dogmatic, and I'm sad to see it on HN.

Your arguments would effectively turn the internet into nothing more than a text messaging service seeing as Google indexing and mirroring images is also "piracy".

Connected devices allow brands and publishers the opportunity to connect with harder-to-reach demographics, especially Millennials and Gen Zers.

One thing this piece leaves out is that if the operation/creation is in fact expensive, you want to make sure you have some kind of two-phase option so you don't inadvertently create multiple copies.

If the client crashes after the POST to create 'death star' succeeds and hence construction starts, but before it can read the response of the POST in the example and so never gets the pointer to the /queue/12345 from the response, if the client reissues the POST in the server should reject a second attempt to create a star named 'death star' just and give back the same pointer to /queue/12345. Or, if you want to be able to have two stars named 'death star', you should first POST to some endpoint to get a unique identifier from the server first, and then use that to kick off the creation of your death star so the client can reason about the current state.

Publicity doesn’t pay the bills, and it only works if the original author is mentioned.
Ha, I do suppose all those count for Erlang too. I get the impression that syntax-wise it's very much a matter of taste, although for some Elixir's macros might make it preferable.
Absolutely. I don't see why the author brushed off the maintainer's responsibility so casually.

Are you kidding? The bare minimum of not just handing a repository under your name to a random stranger is apparently a hard to fathom concept for this author.

I think the image is pretty clear, EU users will no longer be able to use Reddit.

Internet users in general have become used to unlimited free content and use. Unfortunately free platforms are paid for with ads and the revenue per user, with the exception of a few behemoths, is very slim. It is pretty easy to put things in the red if you decrease the value of ads and increase general legal compliance costs. If your bank account isn’t full of money, it is over when derived providers shut down your accounts.

There have been a lot of accusations made about companies which have chosen to block EU users. The companies choosing to do so are optimistic that they may be able to open to EU users in the future. They respect the laws of the EU and expect the system to continue to exist for some time. Unlike, say, a large number of countries where the sitting head of government could be publicly hung and no one would be surprised.
Oh, that sounds interesting. Definitely hope it works out for you!

I must admit my great curiosity about what path led you to assembly language and _then_ C. In many circumstances it's the other way around.
AdoraHack: Visibility Modifiers in Kotlin
To be fair, it is a really difficult thing to read and comprehend. I've read the whole proposal around May this year, and it is tough. When I did get to the articles 11 and 13, a lot of the stuff people were really warning against wasn't even there.

It was in a reference to another law, already passed years ago and only referenced by its number. So you had to look that up and any references it had, too.

And at the end of it, you're still left with a deep unease that you've probably missed a lot of data and meaning because these things don't seem to be written in a way non-layers can understand.
I had a hunch and I snooped around in your website. :)
Erlang has way more advantages than its concurrency model but none of these can be used in a lambda I guess. It is just good to have diversity, many will disagree but you get used to love the Erlang syntax and being able to run it in AWS lambda is kind of nice to not change the stack.

If your IDs are completely unique, you could add them to a Bloom filter [0] when cleaning up the resource. Then you could use that to determine if an incoming ID has possibly been used before or definitely not.

Yes there are certainly datasets you can train on a dataset effectively without repetition; this is more common in areas like reinforcement learning where you are simulating every training point. While theoretically possible you have the same random seed to produce the same training point, in practice that wont happen without bugs but some training data will be similar. Augmentation can also ensure you dont see the exact training data more than one.

However, this doesn't guarantee you will be able to train an amazing model. You are limited by properties like model capacity, label noise, poor feature representation, optimizer+learning rate, etc. In the limit empirically there will be some dataset size after which you get diminishing returns on improving model performance.

Isn't that exactly the point of distributed services? There's no difference between the horror scenario you're describing and the ideal that other people are striving for. If you removed your opening and closing sentence, I'd have no way to tell whether this was an advertisement or a criticism.

Distributed services really are an area where one person's meat is another person's poison.
Wouldn't the forums have the same problem...

They're even smaller, with less resources.. wouldn't they have even more incentive to block the EU?
I see this as them mainly attempting to create a moat around the European internet, to create a space for European companies to have a competitive advantage. This seems to have been a trend over the last 20 years I have been observing at least. The goal is simply to make things difficult enough that is is far less worth someone's time unless Europe is their primary market. Unfortunately all Europeans wind up paying a heavy price for this mentality when it is applied to extremes, especially since it will still be only large companies that will have the resources to actually adhere to the law enough to avoid incredible risk of exposure.

In other words, I think the motivations here have very little to do with author's rights and everything to do with lobbying for European business.
This is actually a significant problem with the way many EU directives are written. Wording is often loose, sometimes vague, and subject to considerable interpretation. Perhaps deliberately so.
Even better might be to force all the EU into a single thread about the legislation. Then Reddit users can whip other Reddit users into a frenzy, as Reddit does best.

Or it might devolve into political debate with an unhealthy mix of bot generated content and trolls.
This is basically Wikipedia and their talk pages. It’s just that most people don’t have the attention span for discourse longer than 250 characters.

Gifts for Programmers 2019 – Top Gift Ideas for Coders
Almost all google products are really weak on Q&A. It's very sad that a software giant, a leader, a "role model" such as google can not do better. IMHO they should set an example for the rest of the industry.

Badly coded apps (web pages or what have you) are unfortunately the norm in todays society, not the exception. Release now, fix later (if ever).

I often think about this when my boss or clients wants me to rush things (i.e. skip testing, refactoring, write spaghetti code etc). Maybe that will save them money in the short term. But if you look at it from a larger scale, in the long term and also all the other people it will affect, i'm not sure it will actually be cheaper for society as a whole. You can imagine the butterfly effects it will have, and when everyone does it. It's mentality i wish would go away quickly.

2. US-EU is willing to sanction North Korea for the chemical assassination of Kim’s half brother

3. US-EU is willing to sanction Turkey for the jailing of a Christian Pastor.

4. US-EU is NOT willing to sanction Kingdom of Saudi Barbaria for the dismemberment and acid-dissolving of a US-based journalist.

The US has an obvious obvious obvious set of double standards for policy enforcement when it comes to our oh so sweet ally.

I agree 100%. I don't happen to use npm/Node, but I'm terrified that this could happen in the language/package ecosystems that I do use.

I don't think that throwing wide-ranging functionality into the standard library is the answer, but I think with a bit of tooling it might be feasible to provide a "trusted" tier of packages that have been signed off on by code reviewers. Instead of every vendor needing to vet every dependency in their product, the work could be spread around. When a vendor finds they absolutely must have the functionality provided by a package in the untrusted "playground" (or whatever), they might be motivated to sponsor a review to upgrade it.

Kids, especially girls, tend to hit that phase very early in bad family situations.
Sorry, that's not the case. The relevant laws governing this are called "work for hire".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_for_hire

Other countries don't necessarily have it spelled out so clearly, but instead leave it to case law. However, it's mostly the same around the globe.

The contracts are so your employer owns inventions created outside of work hours, not using employer equipment. This part of your employment agreement is actually frequently contested and deemed unenforceable unless the work is in the same area of expertise as your full-time employment i.e. using knowledge from your job. But it comes down to individual cases.

EDIT: It's covered on the Wikipedia page I've linked. However, just to clarify, the act of being employed is automatically considered work for hire by the legislation. If you're not an employee, but rather a contractor, then you may explicitly form a work for hire agreement in writing as part of the contract.

> Also, luckily everyone in the world agrees who the terrorists are, so it's not a problem.

Why should everyone in the world have to agree who the terrorists are? This sort of relativism is corrosive and it's not a luxury terrorists and dictators indulge in. They're clear who the bad guys are, and it's us. That's what makes them our enemy, regardless of how they happen to percieve their own interests and the langugage they use to describe them.

Looks interesting, but the free limitations are too restrictive unfortunately (3 page limit, 1 Mb), and I cannot justify paying this much for the paid option when I probably scan roughly less than 10 documents per month (which can be longer than 3 pages and larger than 1 Mb).
A13 seems to require that users can dispute things (and that rightsholders have to justify the takedown), requirements of proportionality and I think also requires an independent body setup by member states to raise these issues up to if not properly solved.
> But does this mean a different way of experiencing life?

What is noticeable, at least for me, is a different approach to naming things. E.g. in German technical things are usually named by what they are or do (descriptive), while in English many things are just named "randomly" after e.g. people or who/where it was first used. Consider: Elastitizätsmodul vs. Young's modulus; Steilkegel vs NMTB taper; Tellerfeder vs Belleville washer; ...

This honestly seems to be an issue with what my personal opinions are about certain topics. I do not "flame bait", I am serious in my positions and don't seek any type of nefarious response. I don't see how pointing out that nobody bats an eye when Google does what China does is "flamebait", it's just an observation.

That is a shocking statement. You are there to hear the tree falling in the forest. Are you saying that your reason of playing video games is to get acknowledgement from others?

Ah, culture...

There is a law of the transition from quantity to quality by Hegel (http://www.pnas.org/content/97/23/12926).

As soon as number (e.g. of modules in NPM base) reaches some point the overall quality changes dramatically. It is a step function - from good to bad. From enthusiastic acceptance to full rejection of NPM and similar code sharing mechanisms.

Proof of work is required for distributed consensus; without that you need a centralized repository like GitHub or Linus to bless the current state of the database?
Without hard data released to the public we should not take the claim at face value.

The intelligence agencies have a lot of credibility to earn back after the Snowden revelations. No claims should be trusted without conclusive source material.

The question is, why is the CIA trying to sway public opinion about this? Why do we tolerate the CIA or FBI being PR agencies for selectively leaked information? And why do we assume that their actions are in the national interest when it is not defined beyond platitudes about freedom.
Yet, this ancient library did not have serious issues. It was not deprecated because someone hacked it or it was even bad, but because it had not been maintained for many years. The reason was probably that it did not need maintainance, it just worked, but programmers often used it in the wrong way. In fact, the removal from PHP has caused some very small and old projects to break, and IMHO php should not have removed it, for the sake of compatibility.

Also, it is much faster than the suggested alternative (pdo).

It's positive news mostly - they took 15,000 volunteers and ran 28 "big" studies across them, working with original teams to get the nuances right. So they had larger samples than originals and ran experiments multiple times across multiple samples.

Where a study failed in one it mostly failed everywhere, and where it worked it mostly worked in all the experiments.

So, yes, priming someone with the number 32 won't get them to bet it in the casino, but it does mean that social science can be experimental - you can build and run lab scale social science - a positive !
