> genocide denial

Please don't use powerful words at the wrong place, you are depleting them of their meaning.

A genocide has an actual definition according to the international law, and the Gulag system does not tick any of the boxes.

The Gulag system was a very harsh penal colony system (although on a far larger scale that what was done before), in continuation of the ones already existing during the tsarist times – and with death rates comparable to what could be found i.e. in the Cayenne penal colony.

It was neither aimed at killing convicts (with mortality rates under 10%, it would have done an awful job at it), nor was it targeting a peculiar ethnic group.
It's been years since I have worked in this space, but, at the time, my group was charged with finding fraud committed by the providers and beneficiaries.

It was interesting work: we had data tapes shipped from CMS to us, we loaded the data into a Sybase database, and then used an analysis tool (which I can't recall the name of) to look for patterns of fraud - again, this was what now seems like a lifetime ago.

Is anyone currently working detecting Medicare and Medicaid fraud?

An alternative is an open source version of a browser from an advert company, with anti-features hopefully being kept in check by diligent maintainers.

As much as I dislike that, from the advert company I know they're on the side of the advertisers. They're not presenting a "we're on the side of you, the users" face, whilst behaving more or less the same.

A better alternative would be a fork of Firefox, kept up to date by a handful of overworked but dedicated-to-their-users volunteers. These exist, and maybe they would get some more recognition and funding if Mozilla were to cease to exist.

I don't think Mozilla can change. They're too comfortably corporate. Having lost sight of their mission, I think it would be better if it disappeared and was replaced by something else.

I'm curious about this. I get that firefox for ios has to use a webview, but why can't it allow extensions that can manipulate what's in the webview? The main reason I'm currently sticking with Android is that I can install firefox and use ublock origin and https everywhere.
Testing Made Easy with These Top 7 Testing Tools
Yes, absolutely. The key question in my mind still (after finishing the article) is what startups actually WOULD be smart to take money on these terms (what kind of business model, unit economics, and growth trajectory would they have to have for it to make sense).

My guess is it's a narrower slice of the startup population than Earnest intends. And my prediction is they will update their terms to broaden the slice.

Better distributed computing libraries and semantics (MPI, OpenSHMEM, ...). At the language level, it is not completely clear how RMDA and lifetimes/references should interact.

Better GPGPU support, for CUDA and OpenCL, ideally with direct compilation of Rust code to GPU assembly.
> Which indentation style is the correct one?

There is no correct one. There are aesthetic preferences to make Lisp code readable. Lisp has code formatters for decades and Common Lisp comes with one in the standard (the pretty printer). Tools to format (not just indent) textual Lisp code has also been available for decades, but are less used.

> If you want to have a completely static formatter

The proposal here is to ignore the programming language Clojure and format all code only on the expression level.

There is an important point to be discussed, that happens mainly in violent/poor countries: the frequent robbery (and it's consequences, like murders).

Yeah I agree. This is tantamount to Holocaust denial, and to go on and compare the gulags to the American penal system really highlights the degree of nonsense.
This misses the point though. It’s still just instructions applied by convention to bits to tell some other instruction something. When you use “isinstance” at runtime in Python or reflection at runtime in Java, it doesn’t mean the underlying bits somehow “have types” any more than any other function calls or compiled instructions ever would. That’s still just part of the useful fiction.

Why would I choose Firefox and all the baggage of Mozilla organizationally, when I've already chosen superior Chromium in the form of Iridium browser? The only thing left for Mozilla to do in converting Firefox into the GNOME 3 of browsers is to start viciously paring features for usability/"user experience!" I don't know if Iridium is pledged in OpenBSD, but Chrome definitely is whereas at this point it's almost impossible to pledge Firefox.

One of the interesting things I there while there was develop a Java app and Python script to semi-automate the loading of tapes.
​
​Previously, a person had to load a few tapes into a magazine, place it into a machine, and manually load each tape - they had to sit in a secure room, wait for a tape to be loaded, and press a button to for the machine to load the next tape!
​
​Since this tape machine was old, there wasn't a lot of documentation, but I did find enough information to develop a script that loaded each tape, placed the data in the correct directory based on the tape's header information, and then emailed the data team once all the tapes in the magazine were loaded. It freed up that person to do meaningful work while the data tapes were being loaded.

The post provides useful set of rules to follow when writing text. I want to add another one which I have found to be beneficial to my work: the write-good linter for English prose (https://github.com/btford/write-good). Using linters for writing text helps to systematically avoid transcribing everyday speech into written text. A habit which is widespread among people who write infrequently and without a peer review.

For me the best workflow is to pass a text document to the linter before the build/deployment procedure (after finishing all writing work!) and modify the highlighted entries. As a result I can see which sentences can be phrased in a way which improves their structure and ultimately the quality of the text.
Maybe possible, but certainly not easily usable. Especially not if you would need this for tutoring beginners.

These "missteps" are the reason I don't use Firefox. With Chrome, I know Google are watching. But I also know only Google are watching. They're not bundling irremovable third party apps in with the browser, or installing extensions without my consent, or sending my entire browsing history to another third party.

Mozilla have done all these things, and when called out on it, they don't seem to realise they've done anything wrong. That crosses the line from naive to actively malicious.
Sure, this stuff is not without risk. But, personally I would rather go through this stuff as for example a mentally sound 70 year old and then just not worry about it.

It’s like keeping 20k in a checking account. It’s a good idea to have cash on hand and safer than keeping such money at home, but plenty of people had that money stolen via electronic transfer. Choosing which risks to take and how much effort you’re willing to spend avoiding those risks is just part of life.

PS: My Mothers financial adviser put it like this: “Do you trust your kids? If you do then you can simply things, but if you don’t their are other steps you can take.” Personally, I don’t nessisarily trust my future self to make great choices all the time, but if you do then don’t worry about this stuff.

The difference with bits is that it's a convention realised in the hardware.

0 and 1 are physically different from each other. A 64-bit float could easily be seen as an array of bytes without any change to the information it contains.

Bottom line: types are external to the information something contains.
Nobody is selling them in quantities/systems that could in any way threaten Intel. AMD might have a great tech right now (and possibly even better with Zen 2), but it won't help them financially if nobody can buy them or only in overall inferior offerings to Intel ones. EPYC has still a lot to overcome in DC/server space. I am happy with my TR in a Deep Learning machine, all the PCIe lanes for multiple GPUs are giving me insane value, however server contracts are way more complicated than enthusiast space and Intel has a firm ground there.
Easy path to success for Firefox is to continue to beef up security and privacy tooling for their users and have sane defaults. They've been winning a lot of users who feel abandoned by the big companies in this space.

A problem and conflict of interest for them regarding this is that they are funded mainly by Google. Firefox has a conflict of interest here because they are not doing all they can here because that would cut off their main source of revenue.

So, for example, they have sort of a mute option for sound (just like other browsers) but they don't allow you to mute video by default (without blanket turning it off for all websites). I don't know anyone who loves being bombarded with video content when they want to read an article. I find the moving stuff to be distracting; even if the sound is off. Also the bandwidth is kind of not nice, especially on mobile. The BBC has started putting multiple video previews in their articles. This kind of attention whoring is highly annoying. This is not news to anyone of course.

The obvious fix allow people to whitelist sites to allow autoplaying video (youtube, netflix, and other websites where people go specifically to enjoy video content) and switch that off for everything else. All the extenions for that claim to do this are basically a combination of broken or simply setting the config property that blanket bans all autoplay video for every website (just preempting the inevitable comment to try extension X here).

Similarly, the containers extension is great. This should be baked into the browser and improved to the point where the default container is a private container unless you whitelist the domain. Right now private browsing happens in a separate window. It's an obvious thing to do: every site by default is private until you say otherwise.

Both kind of are in direct conflict with how Google, and by extension, how Mozilla monetizes. This is the main reason this is made hard to do. I'm sure if this was easier, there'd be countless extensions doing exactly that. Instead people sort of emulate private browsing with stuff like noscript and other extensions that throw away cookies. Also nice but not user friendly.

Doing all this in fool proof, user friendly way would be a great way for Firefox to differentiate. It would unfortunately cut them off from Google funding probably.
