Khan Academy is far from a tutorial site. They have entire lesson plans, lectures, reading assignments, tests and a decent and helpful community in the comments. They cover just about all the material from Kindergarten to a Bachelors Degree.

That's a fair point. I usually spend some time hardening my WordPress installs, and keep all of them updated. I also disable a few features of the WordPress dashboard, including updating WordPress core and installing themes/plugins. I do these tasks from the command line using WP-CLI.

This setup lets me do 99% of my everyday work using the WordPress UI. For the remaining 1%, I can SSH and use the command line. I've had a scare or two in the past, but in general my websites haven't been large enough to be lucrative targets. Maybe someone who's running larger blogs can chime in on the security issues.

If you want a one click solution, DigitalOcean's WordPress droplet has a lot of security stuff pre-configured for you. They even integrate fail2ban with the WordPress login screen, which is something I never even considered of doing.
Technically you could but it depends on definitions of consciousness and ability to affect, disassemble, and replicate - never mind the ethics.

To be a smartass with multiple definitions of consciousness we have concrete theories already. Given that xenon gas is capable of anesthetizing even plants it appears that the process is electrochemical in known life and disruption leads to unconsciousness - pain can't go anywhere. That tells us basics but building from there is difficult.

I wish all bands were on Bandcamp. It makes it so easy to buy albums in lossless formats (FLAC and ALAC) that I get frustrated when bands (usually more popular ones) aren't on it. Now I won't even buy their albums because I don't want them in MP3.

No thank you.
If someone thinks that women ought to be able to exercise control over their reproduction, and that abortion is a legitimate means of exercising that control that accrues benefits to individuals and societies by being legal, then the belief that human life begins at conception, being a traditional argument against the moral permissibility of abortion, could seem harmful.

The same applies to stem cell research.

The problem is deeper than that. All discussion is absurd on both sides and nobody knows or understands the history that led to things getting this way. Particular peeves of mine are 'the Jews killed Jesus' and the 'usury' thing.

There is no evidence for the 'Jews killed Jesus' meme that has been doing the rounds for almost two millennia. Yet it persists like an extremely bad penny.

The 'usury' thing - Jewish bankers controlling everything is usually told by people who have no idea of how kings in Europe used to extort money from Jewish people, not allowing them to have land and basically making sure they did horrible jobs, like tax-collecting, which was not popular with peasant types in Middle Ages Europe. Then they would evict them taking their cash off them.

Another one that irks me is how people criticise Jewish people for being successful in various trades, for instance in the UK a huge amount of fashion retail is a Jewish thing. Other minorities get criticised for not being in business, e.g. in America the black people working for the white man and not setting up their own black business networks.

Despite all of the war-crime grade problems of what is going on in Israel and prevalent attitudes on all sides I really do like working with Jewish people, locally and from Israel. I have been astounded at the code written by some of the geniuses I have had to work with from Israel, yet at the same time felt happy with myself that I have not been indoctrinated in the way they have been when it comes to Palestine. Sometimes it is good to know that someone smarter than yourself does not know everything.

Trade and working together is the way to greater understanding. A lack of education about our collective history as well as our gone-wrong capitalism and the militarism that enforces our gone-wrong capitalism has to be seen as the true enemy. In a fair world of genuine free market internationalism we can move on from the lies and suspicions that have held mankind back.

Poor comparison. Let's not forget that it's legal for people with hereditary diseases to procreate, would you compare that with "poisoning the water supply"?

Furthermore, here are some legal ways to crudely "engineer" the DNA of your future offspring:

- smoking

- drinking

- legal prescription drugs

- exposing yourself to ionizing radiation

That counts for both males and females, of course with pregnant females the effects are vastly amplified.

Any pointers on how to do it?
People do. And people who understand what the web and AMP are know that AMP isn't the solution.

By the time you've loaded CNN's AMP page, you'll have loaded at least 4 MB: ~2 MB of AMP prefetching done on Google's search results page and another ~2.2 MB on the AMP page itself.

If Google adhered to its own page performance standards, as outlined here: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/w..., CNN's AMP page would be demoted in search results. However, since its AMP, it gets put front and center in search carousel.

Same goes for every single other AMP page.

Ask HN: Is Firefox Focus Relevant on Android?
For those who don't know Firefox Focus, it's a dedicated privacy browser with tracking protection and content blocking. Available on iOS and Android.

However, the app seems to use the Android WebView to browse the web, and block toxic domains. Is it possible for Google to extract data from the WebView use? If so, it makes Firefox Focus kind of pointless regarding Google tracking, right?

If you have any good practices on respecting privacy on Android, please share. I'm happy to hear!

Thanks!

Wikipedia has editors, varying levels of admin permissions, different types of pages, templates, comments, edits, etc. I'm not sure their data model is any less complicated than Airbnb.

But regardless of the complexity of the database schema, neither one of them is really an "feature rich application" in the way that that say, Photoshop, is a feature rich application.

At the end of the day, I think they're both just CRUD apps.

Interesting, is that just because of the privacy implications of using chrome?

My experience has been that most desktop IT teams don't have the resources to fine-tune browser configs on endpoints around things like corporate web filtering proxies so they just jam the cert in the OS store and call it a day. You can use Chrome, IE, or Firefox if you know how to get and import the cert (which most users do not). Sometimes users would submit tickets saying they wanted to use Firefox but couldn't get to any web pages, to which the IT team would reply "We don't support Firefox, use Chrome or IE" and that was that.

Smilebooth's backend runs on mono on linux, but for private / no internet events we run a local version of the server on .net 4.x and windows. Same binary. F#/suave.io server. I was shocked ~5 years ago when I tried the .net binary on mono/linux and it just worked (iirc the only change was the command line arguments passed to imagemagick). But it did and it has, so no need to change.

I left that project two years ago but if starting something similar today I'd probably go with .net core. Not because of any issues with mono, but core just seems like the future. I didn't even realize that mono was still in active development, though I'm not really following that field anymore, so.

Just for the record, I never did notice any memory leaks that others complain about. Our servers stayed running for months at a time with no noticeable leaks.

Are you talking about a depth channel on an image plane? It also largely depend on the problem but here is a few tricks that helped me for my problems (object tracking).

- Generating synthetic data is powerful if you have the depth modality as it is easy to render. Also the real/synthetic domain gap is narrow compared to RGB. I consider it as data augmentation: you usually do many renders from a single 3D model.

- If you can somehow normalize the offset (e.g. compute normals) that can help. In my case I could offset the center of the object as 0 depth and it greatly help the network to converge.

- Classic augmentations like gaussian noise, gaussian blur and also downsampling the depth helps (apply these randomly).

As for tooling, I just use numpy/pytorch for most operations and OpenGL for renders.

> If it's ethically defensible to abort fetuses for no particular reason (i.e. general legalized abortion) then it follows that abortion for any particular reason is ethically defensible.

It does not follow. Similar: even in "employment-at-will" jurisdictions, where you can fire anyone at any time without giving justifications, you are not allowed to fire someone for a slew of protected reasons, such as becoming a whistleblower, their sex/age/sexual orientation/race, or joining a union.

It may make populations less susceptible to disease. It's extremely unlikely that homogenisation of genes would lead to increased resistance to epidemics.

This seems a little over-the-top, but I do have to agree that in many ways, Linux just isn't driven by enthusiasts any more. It just doesn't have the excitement it had back in the late 90s and early 00s that I remember, and the desktop environments in particular have really stagnated, which I mostly blame on GNOME.
It's not a "necessity," it's a personal preference.

I started out programming on a dark theme (the emacs default) but I've used a light theme professionally for about 15 years (and no other dark applications). I prefer the light theme and I don't find it hard on my eyes one bit and I have astigmatism.
I think that he meant that the workload still required the 10Gb link, so the AMD servers ended up with two NICs and two sets of cables (a 10 Gb connection and a 1 Gb connection). This leads to higher resource requirements, as they need effectively double the # of switches.

I'm not familiar with the problem at all, that is just how I interpreted his statements.

I get your frustration, I felt the same particularly after the DRM fiasco, but at least in Firefox it's not enabled by default. I'd say that is an important difference.

More importantly, I think what's important is that there exist multiple browser engines because that forces Google to at least compromise somewhat, (agree to WebAssembly instead of just DartVM for example), not run completely unchecked, even if I agree with your core premise and I think Mozilla should fight a lot harder than it often does.

I also work with FPGA (on the software side, but obviously I have a lot of interaction with the RTL people) and I think it's not entirely comparable.

Switching from an Intel x86-64 CPU to an AMD x86-64 CPU is absolutely trivial compared to switching between, say, a Xilinx Zynq SoC and an Altera Arria10 Soc (to take two chips I'm familiar with).

Switching from one FPGA to an other means changing all vendor-provided IPs (things like serializers/deserializers, encoders, decoders, MACs, DMA etc...), you probably have to change almost all your software stack, you need different tools, you need a different kernel, a different bootloader. You need to redesign your motherboards because obviously the pinout is different. And of course even beyond that it's never a 1:1 match it terms of capabilities, there are not always exact equivalents of one chip in the other vendor's inventory. So you may end up having to buy a more expensive chip to have the same number of memory blocks, I/O or whatever.

I think the main reason people are not switching to AMD en masse for servers is mainly inertia. The vendor lock-in is pretty tame compared to FPGAs.

I am aware. But the difference is Google wouldn't care and Mozilla at least did something, even if it wasn't removing the extension.
The strength of the language I used was motivated largely by the obviously bad-faith approach employed when they _first_ announced AlphaZero a year ago. They wanted to be able to say they'd created the strongest engine in the world, and they created an environment where it was hard to fail. I will admit the setup used in this paper seems more reasonable on that basis.

That said, I've checked out a few old versions of Stockfish (including the exact commit they used) and analysed the games in Table S6 in the paper. Stockfish still spots multiple blunders in its own play. Obviously these things aren't entirely deterministic, but it seems unlikely there was time trouble.

And again, just to be clear, there's little doubt in my mind that AlphaZero's evaluation of any given position is better than Stockfish's or anyone else's. I'm not even saying it can't reliably beat Stockfish. I just find it sad that the evidence of its overall strength continues to be wobbly.

While Notes was justifiably hated, I had two somewhat good experiences with it.

1. The recurrence model for meetings and the like was way more featureful than anything I've seen since.

2. The CEO of my company at the time dictated that the Notes devs/admins change the email interface such that in order to click "reply-all", you had to navigate to a separate screen. This all but eliminated all stupid company wide email storms, and should be in every email client.

For that we paid a heavy price in CPU and Memory use, as is Notes wont.

I used to help artists with setting up Wordpress portfolio sites. But the constant maintenance required (updating Wordpress & plugins, making sure that all plugins are secure and maintained, and checking after each update to make sure nothing was broken), as well as the rise of platforms like Squarespace, Wix & Weebly, means that I no longer recommend Wordpress for those types of clients. Artists just want to show and sell their work, not deal with whether or not a plugin update is compatible with their version of Woocommerce.
There is a brilliant picture illustrating this. I tried to track it down but couldn't find it anywhere.
It is actually three "different" pictures. The first is a soldier (I believe it was US soldier) giving a drink of water to a very tired or distressed looking man (I think he looked Middle Eastern). The second was a very tired or distressed looking man (the same one in the same pose) with a soldier (different to the first one) pointing an assault rifle a the unarmed man's head. The third was actually just the full pulled out picture i.e. a soldier giving water to a very tired or distressed looking man while another soldier held an assault rifle to his head.
It very powerfully shows that you can be reporting on facts but depending on how you frame it (in this case literally) can completely change the message behind the "facts" that you are reporting on. One picture showed the US army as a generous saviour to this poor man. The other showed the US soldier as a monster that was pointing a rifle at a poor distressed man's head. The third showed that is was actually both or maybe neither.
Really wish I could track that one down.
