These platforms enforce their own definition of "racism". Openly calling for white-genocide is okay. "Misogyny" is punished, while hatred towards masculinity is supported.

The "left" doesn't actually oppose these ideas as long as they're the ones espousing it. They engage, likely at a larger scale, in identity politics and exclusionary behavior.

If you want evidence, look at how nearly all conservative or right-leaning comments on a platform like HN are from newly created (dummy?) accounts.
Doesn't opting out cause a Streisand Effect?[1]. I mean, if you go out of your way to hide something it makes you even more interesting and you stand out. My own strategy for not having data collected on me is to compartmentalize and have various contextual identities across different services and never cross contaminate identities and never have all my personal info in one centralized location that makes it easier for the likes of Acxiom Corporation to profile me. I call it identity 'sharding'.

No it's not. Stop, just stop. Think about the holidays and why we have them. Put some extra cash in the Salvation Army pot, give some toys to the Marines for Toys for Tots. Do something positive.

There's a reason why materialism is bad.
Yeah, I've been noticing that too. The best part is that they don't even work that well against bots anymore; I'm literally running a Firefox plugin that autofills audio captchas with Google's own services.
As a fellow Java programmer who's picked up Python in the past year, I completely agree with these.

The issue though is since the box is so expensive (4 cell phones, custom boards, etc) stealing it was likely a felony.

So you'd have to admit to a felony to sue or press charges against box maker. Second when committing a felony, in many jurisdiction the felon is automatically on the hook for any further 'bad things' that happen during the crime up to and including deaths. So if the felonious package thief got in an accident while opening a stolen package, it could all fall on them as a matter of statute in many places.
Not only those recaptchas — I just had a page present a Google-branded widget that asked me a market segmentation type personal question to allow me to read an article. I clicked the back button instead. The greed is indeed a bit over the top.

Since no one has presented a version of the dotsies bookmarklet, which is actually necessary to use them in practice, I'll go and make one with the proper mapping for v3.

If there is one already, let me know.

Actually, looks like all the permutations in the bookmarklet only allow you to use glyphs in Dotsies.tff, and there are some possible glyphs missing. I'll have to edit the font file.
For me, it'a less about the accuracy of his predictions, and more about his intellectual smugness rubbing me the wrong way. He has no problem with the hypocrisy of attacking Nate Silver over some supposed weaknesses in his election prediction model, but does not seem to care about the inaccuracies of his own public predictions.

Nate Silver took political polls and hunches, which were far less accurate, and came up with something significantly better. Even in 2016, Fivethirteight's model showed the odds of Trump winning were not that remote versus major media outlets "guessing" the race was all but over.

Election prediction models will always be inherently unstable in my mind. It's pretty much impossible to predict the when, if, how, who of an Anthony Weiner type scandal.
Have you often seen adversarial training used for sequence labeling to improve generalization across domains? The LSTM-CRF model appears to be the same model proposed by Lample et al (2016). I’d agree that it is common now to use that architecture.
Stealing (physically at least) is a stupid way to make money. A $200 game console will hardly net a thief $50. There are a lot of issues in my city with the less fortunate stealing items to make some small money - bikes are a common target. It neither really helps the thief, and it's very unfortunate for the person stolen from.

It's not my experience that efficiency is "fundamentally" at odds with elegance. Elegance can be a hard concept to pin down and has a somewhat subjective component but I often find situations where code can be made both more efficient and more elegant. There are certainly cases where I can't see a way to make the code more efficient without sacrificing elegance however. They don't seem to be fundamentally at odds but neither are they always aligned.

I disagree with several of the specific examples given in the article but to pick one, the author says "C++ rather obviously does pay with programmer efficiency for runtime efficiency, without an option to opt out of the deal. Every allocation can leak, every reference can be dangling, every buffer can overflow, etc. etc. etc.". Most of the ways that modern C++ addresses these problems inherited from C such as unique_ptr, containers and ranges are more elegant to my taste, more convenient to use and generally no less efficient.

I find garbage collection very inelegant and the approach to memory management taken by Rust and even C++ in most cases more elegant but I'm not clear if that's something the author was intending to include in his above statement. This seems somewhat subjective however. I know there are arguments some people might make for garbage collection being elegant and even efficient in comparison to manual memory management.

Where elegance and efficiency seem to have some natural alignment is in the realm of simplicity and doing only what is necessary. Code can often be made both more efficient and more elegant in my experience by distilling out the essence of the problem and removing the unnecessary.
The whole purpose of the Space Shuttle was to put people into space (and bring them back). The only payloads it carried were those requiring human intervention to deploy. The Falcon 9 can only lift payloads that do not require human intervention.

Frameworks are fine, but very job specific. I'm currently learning Angular as well. Frankly, there is just too little time to learn everything... Sometimes I wish to be mind-uploaded like in the Bobiverse sci-fi series. Make many clones of me and get overclocked.
Sounds like you hypothetically need something which is inherently dangerous (scorpions) but not purposefully dangerous to the person who opens it (drone scheduled to attack package owner).

As an aside, I don’t know if it legal to ship scorpions.
Python uses it for integer division. Typically it is meant as "divide and floor" as far as I've seen.
The thing is the biggest players in this race are Nokia and Ericsson who are European. The US has chipmakers that supply these companies, but no real competition to these companies.
Implicit in your answer is that Amazon would be wrong to deny its services to known felons. I agree with that. It's also not a monopoly nor "pretty much a monopoly". There is WalMart/Jet, Target, and many other outfits out there, online as well as physical alternatives. Yet, I think it would be wrong to deny their services to people based on how "good" they thought they were.

It seems sketchy at first glance, but then you pair that with what the addon is actually doing:

- Access your data for all websites (anything that interacts with ads, including blockers, will need this)

- Download files and read and modify the browser’s download history (these two items are single entitlement in firefox, and provides the ability for AN to store the images for ads it clicks on. You get this nice mosaic view of all the ads its clicked, as well as a running total how much click revenue you've burned)

- Monitor extension usage and manage themes (checks if any other incompatible ad blockers installed and notifies the users)

- Access browser tabs (I'm not 100% sure what this one does, but you've already given it full access to everything on every page anyways.)

- Access browser activity during navigation (Killing popups)

The addon itself is GPL3, so I think there's a very low likelihood of shenanigans here. Also compare and contrast with uBlock Origin:

- Access your data for all websites

- Read and modify privacy settings

- Access browser tabs

- Access browser activity during navigation
For reference, I interned on the the space station.

Also context, consider cost complexity: manned space flight >> space flight >> aerospace >> automotive.

Each increase in risk implies considerably more expense, and the difference between space flight that includes humans, and flight that doesn't is quite massive. They are different programs entirely.

So if you're putting something in space with 'humans going along' - it will always be way more expensive, no matter what.

The shuttle was supposed to be cheaper than multiple manned rockets, but not cheaper than regular satellite launches.

So for putting out complex things like Hubble, or 'fixing it' 'retrofitting' etc. - the Shuttle might make sense.

But it was never going to be cheaper than regular rockets for putting relatively straightforward satellites in space.

Yeah, text on computers and phones is so much different from handwritten or even printed text. We don't have to handwrite text that often anymore, so we don't have the constraints of how accurate our hands can move. Our screens have really high resolution and color (although using a script with colors would be problematic for color blind people), so we don't have the constraints of the paper medium. There's also the simple fact that Latin isn't the only writing system in existence, so how are we to know that Latin is the best writing system out of all the writing systems already in existence? Why not hànzì? Or hangul? Or Devanagari? Or the Arabic Script? Or even Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics? There are so many different scripts that it seems weird to me to focus on the Latin Script as the "pretty good sweet spot". That seems like the much bigger hubris to me. It's not like the Latin Script was scientifically created and proven to be efficient. It just organically evolved from what came before it, whether those changes were beneficial or not. And of course again, they didn't have screens back then.
From one standpoint he's right. Frameworks come and go, and what you use in 5 years, will most likely not be the same today. I think he misses something key though. Learning a framework is not just about understanding you call method X to do Y. It's about understanding why people who created it designed it that way. He touches on this briefly, and he mentions some books that everyone in SD should read, but they don't really show how in depth application of how things can be put together. Learning about a framework shows you concrete examples of how things can (and sometimes cannot) function together. IF learning a framework is just about learning the names of methods and results, you've missed the key point to learning it.

One of my favorite Jordan Peterson quotes:

> Now, here’s the issue. We know that things can go too far on the right, and we know that things can go too far on the left. But we don’t know what the markers are for going too far on the left. I would say that it’s ethically incumbent on those who are liberal or left-leaning to identity the markers of pathological extremism on the left and to distinguish themselves from the people who hold those pathological viewpoints — and I don’t see that that’s being done.

I think when sites like Patreon, Twitter, etc. start banning other view points in the name of "social justice" or "political correctness"... all the while being complete hypocrites to their own values... is when the left goes too far.
(2) —> virtual environments.
I’m not trying to be cynical “at you” but my time with police has taught me they are there to document crime always and stop it directly almost never. TV and Movies mislead.
Well, they will likely run into problems with payment processors. My guess is that the only way they can achieve this is by still filtering for unwanted content (porn, extremists) but trying to not do what Patreon did, which is to call extremist people who really aren't just because they don't share their political opinion.

I think that now that Edge is moving to Chromium, they can just push whatever shitty syntax they want and Firefox will be forced to follow suit.

I wouldn't be surprised if this here is them giving that dominance a first shot. I'm sure they realize that developers will think it's horrible, but at the same time it's also not a problem. Nothing will break because of this, no company will be disadvantaged by it (barring Mozilla ofc). Perfect opportunity for testing the waters of a newly obtained monopoly position.
The anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market. They're very bright to do that.
Design Engineers, the future of the designer profession
The term for languages like Swift, Java, and Haskell is "obligate GC". The cost of obligate GC is only superficially just the poor memory locality, interruptions, and bad citizenship -- worse is that the power of destructors is denied you, and with it the power to automate managing every other kind of resource.
Wouldn't most system programmers think it's a macro?
Think of it like fingerprints (it is actually called fingerprinting). Every unique setting you make is a point that could identify you, even settings supposedly intended to increase your privacy. Much like adding a big burn mark to your fingerprint to actual fingerprint to mask its curves, now that big burn mark could be used to identify you even more than the original curves could.
In the Netherlands, when I order a package and no one's at home when it's delivered, it either gets delivered to my neighbors or to the post office, with a note of where to pick it up.

You seem to be getting downvoted because you made a joke, but honestly. The more I look at that sentence:

If something were "extreme leftist" I would assume it to be worker owned and operated, not a VC funded capitalist corporation in the traditional sense.

It's essentially just extreme liberalism. Still capitalist in every way shape and form, but takes stances on social issues. Capitalism has found it can profit more from adopting, or making a show of adopting, the causes of traditionally marginalized groups while continuing the system of oppression it feeds off of.
So I guess parcel thieves should remember to open all their packages in a faraday cage nowadays?
Interesting. I wonder how much paper and plastic industries have in common.

In the case of plastic, the goal is to capture waste before it gets into the environment. For paper that isn't a concern since it is cellulose. However, ramping up plastic production certainly is a threat, especially as the industry might react with hostility to green tech.
I think there's a difference between "don't care" and "wasn't worth their time". It's possible that with the number of complaints the police needed to investigate, the particular thefts in question were below the triage threshold.
I think a good rule of thumb is that if you learn and use framework you should understand it well enough to write it yourself. That doesn't mean you should actually write one.
Stopped at "I'd rather rewrite it in C" - I guess he's one of those programmers with infinite time.

Would you xo it for $4.95 million?

It’s a very slippery slope.
Compared to C style qsort what std::sort gives you are type safety, convenience (types that already define a suitable operator< will use it automatically without you having to explicitly create a comparison function), correctness/convenience (you don't have to manually specify the number of elements to sort, it's deduced from the range) and efficiency (the comparison can be inlined by the compiler much more easily than in a C style qsort which typically makes a meaningful performance difference for sorting).
> for totally different purposes

For every “send things to the ISS” and “put thing in orbit” mission, the two are directly comparable. The Space Shuttle simply wasn’t using its maximum capacity that often for big packages. The Space Shuttle was a boondoggle.

For crew launches, the per-person cost of the Shuttle still compares unfavourably to SpaceX’s projected crew launch costs. But projected isn’t actual, so we’ll let the Shuttle keep its spot for now.

(Special repair projects and ISS boosting are two things the Shuttle can do that SpaceX currently cannot.)
C and its standard library have some consistency and C89 code mostly runs on future versions of the spec (provided they don't use something like _Bool). But the idea that you don't run into version hell in C is crazy.
It's not a fair comparison: You're comparing how much it costs to move 1kg with a Mini Cooper vs moving 1kg with an 18 Wheeler.

I'm not disagreeing with the Falcon 9 being incredibly cheap, and the SpaceShuttle being outrageously expensive - I agree with both statements. I just think the direct price comparison is bad.
I left a math PhD program due to health reasons. Looking back, none of my reasons for studying math was for the potential usefulness of the ideas I was studying.

It was all for social status and personal play reasons.

Investing in ideas that may pay off in the future is an excellent idea. But except for the cream of the crop, few people will actually have their useless knowledge turn into something useful.

I suspect many people push this point about potential returns because they want to "get paid to play" as well as participate in a system that allows them to gain social status. If they convince others to support them using some argument about useless knowledge being useful, then they can continue in this way.

My only point is that I wish more people were open about that. Yes, research pays off, but if you are in a position of being able to learn lots of "useless knowledge," you are already doing well in terms of health, intellect and status. Don't bemoan too much about your life.
