I think there is lot of scope for content creators to use those triggers to produce effects beyond stimulation.
Stimulation is just low hanging fruit.

Inspiring people, making them feel more empathy, act with compassion, sparking imagination and creativity etc is all possible if content creators move beyond just sensory stimulation.

Imagine a show that doesn't just make people feel good but do good. I think as data pours in, such things will start happening. They happen right now mostly through serendipity rather than actual planning and engineering.

On Overconfidence Being a Bigger Problem Than Incompetence
OK its clickbaitish but its not like it has cost him nothing.
I suspect its because containing Google hinders the web experience for people more than containing Facebook would. People have mentioned in threads here that Capchas would become frequent, Google login (which probably is more common than Facebook login) wouldn't work. The addon would make the browser of an average Joe worse than Facebook containers. And when Mozilla is grasping at straws, trying to win back market share, it'll have to really debate whether or not they would want to go forward with this.

Doesn't help that FB is getting a bad rep these days and its more mainstream to hate on it.
The water is always out there too, but if I've forgotten the way to the well, it's good to see a pointing finger.

Yep, simple comparable:

Atlassian's market cap is 19.981B [1], with $874.0 million for fiscal year 2018 [2,3]

Now, Atlassian sells other things beside jira/confluence (the asana comparable?). It also has a github-like comparable and also a CI/CD type thing. There's other small details, but as a rough estimate, make your own conclusions from the numbers.

TRON Technology Sways a Large Number of Developers
As TRON technology continues to make progress, a number of developers continue to delve into it. TRON’s dApp weekly report in the period between Nov. 17th to Nov. 23rd shows that TRON Network sees growing participation from more teams. However, there’s no surge in the number of dApps listed on the DApp House. @cryptoblockwire.com/tron-technology-sways-a-large-number-of-developers/
Worth checking the Wikipedia page on matrix calculus to see which version of the notation you use! This is in numerator (iirc) and so d (vec x) / d(t) = (vec x). I was used to d (vec x) / d(t) = transpose(vec x), and so this cookbook confused me for ages :S

Going Serverless: how to run your first AWS Lambda function in the cloud
The form of hyperactivity I had was mostly fine to the teachers during my first years of school, but my inattentiveness made me unable to complete writing tasks and this was clear from my first year at school. Medication helped a great deal with this and more importantly it showed me what I could be capable of and I think it helped me develop coping strategies.

I wasn't long on the medication, even in the 1980s there was a backlash against the overprescription and side effects of Ritalin so my mother took me off it. Later during my school years my hyperactivity was a problem, in a different school where the teachers were more strict. I received beatings for things like not sitting still on my chair and for messy handwriting. Medication could probably have helped here and also with my academic performance, though the school and the teachers really should have been more accommodating and understanding around what are rather trivial behavioural differences in the greater scheme of things.
Portability of tar features
I can't help but wonder - dragonfly, Maven etc. points to some very sinister, amoral leadership. Has this always been there, or only under the Pichai regime? I remember, for example, that Eric Schmidt was very keen on an absolutist data gathering regime. Perhaps this shift to the dark side has been very long in the making, its egregious examples coming out only now.

Why you should use markdown:

- it will stop your teammates from using e.g Google docs, word files

- it can be source controlled and diffed

- there are heaps of converters e.g markdown->HTML

- it's so easy to remember you hardly ever need to go to reference

- because it's so primitive it helps focus the mind on keeping your doc simple too

- there is so much markdown doc around that there is no cognitive dissonance/distraction for people reading your doc- the format is familiar to them already

- after a while I've come to appreciate things that are primitive but widely used - it's convenient to say"just use markdown" and cut the bike shedding off at the pass
It seems to highlight matches both within strings and as normal identifiers (e.g. to_csv finds matches within strings)
Probably because of snippets like this one:

"the idea of putting "Embedded" on the front page and trying to advertise Rust as a useful embedded language isn't just laughable--it's dangerous. Rust is so far from useful in embedded that people who try to use it will NEVER come back"

Embedded is still at its early development stages, just like WASM and just like asynchronous network programming. Still, all those are on the front page.

WASM a year ago and wasm todays is a tremendous difference. A year ago, in my opinion, WASM was something for experimentation. Now, a lot of the ecosystem "just works" and is developing really quickly. You can write a working JS library and upload it to NPM without even touching a line of JavaScript code.

Async (network) programming in Rust with async/await is promising but still in flux, so the ecosystem hasn't settled yet. Still, a lot of systems already use it in production.

Embedded in Rust a year ago was mostly a list of blogposts, an early draft of HAL traits and some random register binding crates. You had to use nightly, and your code would frequently break. But in just a few weeks, you'll be able to use Embedded on stable, there is an active ecosystem developing around svd2rust, groups like stm-rs and lpc-rs are forming and a lot of device agnostic drivers have already been written. Combine that with a very promising preview of a new version of the RTFM framework. It's not production ready yet, but I'd estimate it will be within 2 years. See https://github.com/rust-embedded/awesome-embedded-rust for a summary of the ecosystem.

The problem with the post above is not that it's written in a strong tone. It's that it's uninformed, generalizing and unfair.
Shareholders. They often prefer having confidence that the statements of executives can be relied on.
As a relatively "young" person (teen) I feel as if I subconsciously witness or experience this all the time. However I'm not fully aware of what exactly took place that ultimately got us to where we are today e.g., boomers and their effects on modern society, aside from people wanting to have sex/kids after WW2.

I've been getting really into history recently so if anyone has any resources on the socio economic impact of other generations, specifically boomers, please let me know!
In late 2018, GitHub-flavoured Markdown (GFM) has basically won, and is in tools used every day. reStructuredText has always had a learning curve, but is even more painful if you're used to using Markdown (`foo` in MD vs ``foo`` in reST).

I do use reStructuredText/Sphinx for Python, but it's a chore onboarding new developers, to the point where I may not bother in future. Getting developers to write docs is the most important - badly formatted Markdown is still better than no docs. Lower barrier to entry wins. Eric does understand this very well via Read the Docs/Write the Docs (which are awesome), but reStructuredText's weirdness will always be an issue.
Step-1: stop idealizing FAANG employees and their contributions to engineering - they are an insult to our profession. Those we are calling elite (and getting paid like it) should know better.

Writing open letters to Google isn't going to change anything. If you still work for Google in 2018 you are a major part of the problem. The only justification for working at FAANG and not protesting against this is if you are there to actively sabotage the company from the inside.

> inventions must be "non-obvious"

Friend of mine is an engineer with a law degree that works on patents. What he said was not obvious doesn't really catch what's going on. He said a patent is really a set of answers to a set of questions. The answers are usually obvious when you know what the questions are, but what questions are and why they are significant isn't obvious. That's where the work is.

A bit more structured, at least when I last hacked on it. The key idea is to be able to search via language features, for example by function implementation (vs usage). Lets say you saw a function name in kernel crash, like https://www.codegrep.com/search?query=ext4_extent_block_csum...
Alternatively you can write s/he I believe?

Anyway, "they" is probably the correct way.
> You salary is taxed at 35% effectively

This is what is directly visible. Less than 3% of the population pays income tax while tax is deducted at source for the salaried class:

If you dare to save, the interest earned is taxed. If you try to spend, the spending is taxed - buy a house or a car or a motorcycle, all luxury items by Indian government's standards, you are taxed heavily. The bribes collected by the government officials increase the tax burden. By the way, bribes are now expected and people refusing to take or give are looked down upon:

Search for "talented".

This is such a great quote I had to read it in some context and although I've only read a few pages around the quote it seems that he is talking about tragedy and specifically the idea of how one escapes from essentially being a nobody in the world.

"...the death of Cinna the poet is comic, whereas the deaths of Cesar, Brutus and Cassius are tragic." (Speaking of the works of Shakespeare). The idea is that our concept of tragedy is bound up with the consequence to society rather than the consequence to an individual. So if you die having accomplished nothing of note, we feel that we have wasted our time -- no tragedy has resulted from our death.

From that perspective, I think he's trying to say that instead of writing because you want to make a mark, you should try to avoid writing. That desire to do something notable will cause you to ultimately feel as though you have failed -- we can never overcome our own ambitions. But if you go to extreme lengths to avoid writing and fail to succeed, then your writing will never seem (to you) to be a waste of time. It will be of great importance (if only to you).
Everything the AI driven robots do will get done for less money, maybe a lot less. AI used for ad targeting will let advertisers get more for their money, spend less on ads per dollar of revenue, make advertising more efficient and, thus, lower the costs. E.g., some of the old print publishers learned a very hard lesson the hard way, "paid full tuition", about how much computing, and in particular, early Google style ad targeting, could be for ads.

If an AI controlled farm tractor can plow, fertilize, seed, cultivate, and harvest the corn or wheat crop on the North 40 acres, or the south 2000 acres, the farmer can do other things, corn and wheat prices can fall, will fall due to competition, etc.

Again, automation has made big, huge improvements in economic productivity, e.g., let what used to be mostly for royalty at huge prices available to nearly everyone at low to essentially free prices. So the old prices have fallen enormously, and that's definitely deflation.

E.g., we got our first electronic digital computers by people putting together vacuum tubes, resistors, capacitors, inductors. "If you have to ask what it costs, you can't afford it." So, maybe the price would ruin a few $million. Now, with massive automation of microelectronics, hurry up, buy before the price goes down farther, can get the processor in my startup's first server, and AMD FX-8350, 64 bit addressing, 8 cores, standard clock speed 4.0 GHz, quantity 1, retail, for less than $100, with money now worth ballpark only 10% of then. So, automation has produced several factors of 10 less in cost. Similarly for agriculture versus food gathering, ocean sailing versus oars, steam ships versus sailing ships, light from electricity versus whale oil, coal gas, kerosene, candles.

Apparently some applied math called AI has helped reduce some costs. Deflation.
The majority of the article is about how illiquid the stock options are. But that’s the deal. If people wanted to provide liquidity, employees would be given non-vesting shares.

The article also doesn’t address very common clauses in stock option contracts. What about tag-along and drag-along rights?

> Microsoft and Google can't be the only ones who do this, either.

What do you propose? Posting a critical thing about Microsoft, to then talk about how that is unfair Microsoft can't be the only ones who do "this", whatever vague thing "this" may be?

Which comment in this thread would you call "outrage", whom exactly would you accuse of giving Microsoft a free pass, or "being selective"? I'll assume your comment isn't "being outraged about people being outraged", that you are just making a point.

I'd say nobody is or wants to be "outraged", that's just framing comments you're not directly replying to as that. The word has become quite overused for basically anything slightly critical. Let people describe their own internal emotional state as outraged, if they feel that way, but otherwise, it's really just "y u mad" where actual interaction with the argument should be.

Many companies want to use the "masses", the influx of money and bug reports, not to mention statistics and personal data, ML training, the more the merrier, come one come all -- millions, billions of people are welcome to buy the product, click on the ads and all that. But if they have a negative feedback, no matter how valid, then it's suddenly unfair. Then they're all ignorant, entitled, outraged, hipocrites, the whole playbook, and need to be routed around.

But you cannot have it both ways, if you have a channel to peddle product through, blowback can and will travel through that as well. You want to be in the marketplace, be in the marketplace.

Just calling inconvenient criticism outrage, to be done with them, makes them accumulate interest, it doesn't actually turn it into "mere outrage over nothing because people want to be outraged", which could be ignored. But do that enough, and you'll face outrage you fully earned, on top of the still valid criticism.

Another recurring pattern, and that's regardless of company as long as it's big enough, is that so much in the form of speaking for the average user or person, or how something makes business sense. A lot of personal attacks on critics, in an indirect fashion they can't even defend themselves against properly, often by people who will not stand behind their own opinion as their own opinion.
Morals always count. They wouldn’t be morals if you didn’t have to sometimes to work against rational self interest to stick to them.

Ouroboros then!
QR codes are often misunderstood when they're on media other than paper or computer/phone displays.

In particular, with projection-style displays like one might find at a conference, the reflective surface of the backdrop will actually confuse a lot of QR sensors. Any glare and what's supposed to be black will actually come through as black with some white in it. The QR won't validate. The naked eye can't always discern that this happens, or why this happens.

If it's a presentation given in pitch blackness, I'd say go for it.

If there are other sources of light in the room, I'd at the bare minimum do some testing and be prepared to not put it up there.

One other consideration. If someone walked up to you on the street and said they would offer you $10,000 if you could scan a QR code they showed you in 20 seconds, could you whip your phone out and launch/use a QR-scanning app in that much time? I know I couldn't, and I suspect most conference attendees couldn't either.

If all you're shooting for is a youtube video where the people at home can scan the code, then ok, but I think QR is a solution looking for a problem here.
But you realise that actually doing things like this versus the expectation that it is their duty to do it is progress right? For a country like India where a million things need to be balanced every day, and governments of both parties have come and gone without tending to these basic needs, it's a good thing that there as been progress.

Life isn't black and white, you can't discount some good because of something you don't like on the other side (whether you're right or wrong).

How would it look if someone else got the patent and completely blocked Google? It's not even a question for large companies. The issue is this archaic patent and copyright system where someone "owns" an idea... Absurd.
In this case, you're right. Or at least, it's what I'd have done. Still, when I learned English, "they" wasn't singular. I guess that it's the norm now, but it still feels odd. And sometimes using it does require mangling. I'd rather have a set of gender-neutral pronouns, but hey.
No excuses, you're right, we made a bad decision then and losing customers like you was the consequence of that. I apologize for that and any other negative experiences you may have had with us due to this.
In OCaml you have polymorphic sum and product types, so the function

val f : [`Red | `Green | `Blue | `None ] -> y

Would accept a value of type [`Red | `Green | `Blue ] quite fine.

Though I'd still prefer a haskell false positive to a clojure's false negative. Also, if something is considered a string, I expect it to be any string but NULL.

I think that there may be a philosophical issue here: not everyone agrees on what ‘good’ is (maybe noöne agrees!): I may derive much joy from Y but you find it derivative and lame; you may love X but I hate it; he may enjoy passing around Russian agitprop memes. I don’t know what the answer is, but I think neither ‘the majority of people in this bubble in San Francisco like this’ nor ‘ the majority of people on earth like this’ is a terribly useful, not to mention correct, criterion.
What kind of "long" are you referring to? Most programmers would think of a C long, int64, not a Python long, bigint.

Maybe people ought to self-select, but that would mean they'd need the training or experience to recognize what they don't know. It's often the most ignorant people that believe they have the most expertise.
