Thank you. I closed the article as soon as they started describing the astronomers appearance.
I used to no care as well.

But the world is heavily influenced by all those fake images. People may know something is fake, yet being exposed to it again and again do change their expectation and behaviour.

It's like ad. You think it doesn't work. That you are not that stupid. But eventually, the brute force wins.
Let me guess - for this insight, you're asking one upvote for the first square of the chessboard, twice as many upvotes for the next square, and so on..
Yes, this is exactly the wrong reply I often hear when complaining about backwards compatibility.

The mistake here is that in 99% of cases backwards compatibility costs noting - no efforts, no complexity.

Of two equally costing choices the people breaking backwards compatibility just make a wrong choice.

> maybe the biggest priority to keep your project moving at all

When you rename function SSLeay to OpenSSL_version_num, where are you moving? What does it give to your project?

Ok, if you like the new name so much, what prevents you from keeping the old symbol available?

unsigned long (*SSLeay)(void) = OpenSSL_version_num

(Sorry for naming OpenSSL here, it's just one of many examples)

When developers do such things, they break other open source libraries, which in turn break other. It's a huge destructive effect on the ecosystem. It will take many man-days of work for the dependent systems to recover. And it may take years for the maintainers to find those free days to spend on recovery, and some projects will never recover (e.g. no active maintainer).

With a lift of a finger you can save humanity from significant pain and efforts. If you decided to spend your efforts on open source, keeping backwards compatibility by making the right choice in a trivial situation will make you contribution an order of magnitude bigger, efficient.

So, I believe people don't know what they are doing when they introduce breaking changes.
Article 13 looks like a really nice foundation for censorship.

It’s interesting for me to see how EU socialistic tendencies correlate with things like “right to be forgotten”, “article 13” and other initiatives. It’s as if party nomenclature is worried about their self preservation already.

It’s also telling to see how little effect citizens of EU have over these decisions.

And? Most scientific breakthroughs after the World War II require expensive equipments and materials. That fact doesn't make the achievements from Google, from Bell Labs, from CERN, from Fermilab less innovative.
I found this [0] to be a very readable presentation of the theory behind Pijul. Key point is that by representing state as an "DAG of lines" instead of as an "ordered list of lines" (i.e. a file), you are always able to do perfect merges.
You then need a "flattening" step to get to a normal file, but that is handled same as any other patch.

All in all, I am a tempted to give this a try -- even though the mental model will require some mental rewiring.

I will second Financial Times as a great news source. It's also a great conversation starter if you subscribe ("why is your newspaper pink"?).

Financial news, in general, tend to be my favorites because their biases don't tend to fall strongly along political lines, so you get fewer outrage-of-the-day stories, fewer what's-trending-on-twitter stories, and less politics in general - unless it's a really meaningful story that can affect markets.

> In English this is often called chartreuse or pear.

Although I know what both of these objects are, and think it seems like an accurate descriptor, I have honestly never once heard those used as colors (so I'd hesitate to say "often"). Wikipedia agrees on this usage though, so maybe it's just me who hasn't heard it...
When talking to a hidden service, there is no exit node, and no traffic leaving the tor network.
> Technically if you need a patch you can generate it on the fly by comparing both objects

Automatically generated patches might not work in the long run in certain situations (e.g. when standard 3-line context is repetitive, making the patch applicable at multiple places in the same file). Those patches also suck at conveying actual file changes (how many actual changes start with "- }" or contain lots of context braces?); that eventually prompted me to do lots of split commits in git whose sole purpose is to make automatic diffs more readable (e.g. separate commit for indentation fix).

That brings the question: can Pijul store user-formatted patches?
I have had their subscription twice and the only real complaint for me would be, as you also touch upon, that they almost seem to come too often. If only they had a cheaper "digital only" subscription.
Business networking is overrated (2017)
I'm with you, though I sometimes supplement it with news.google.com which at least mentions when certain articles are commentary. If a story interests me enough then I go ahead and research it from all major media sources, especially opposing sides and do my best to form a conclusion that makes sense, usually keeping those to myself since others will only have familiarity with one source or the next. Of course sometimes I land on the not-so-major media sources like blogs that call out mainstream media issues too.

I'm what the mainstream media calls a millennial (only discovered I had that title after 10 years of being one apparently, shows how much I buy into the Media). I have seen time and time again how toxic the media can be even for democracy. During the last election where Ron Paul was a candidate they gave him the least amount of air time on television[0][1][2], and thus he became irrelevant to most Americans because they are glued to the TV and the news organizations, he wasn't the kind of person that would of sold advertisement eye balls I guess. I guess if you want a solid candidate to be president buy all the ad space most major news organization will offer? He was a rare gem I got excited to vote for but couldn't.

Sometimes there is an unplanned need to merge, for example if one lane is closed due to construction or an accident (as I think is indicated in the video).
What makes it worse is that the rules differ, even in EU countries. In Germany you have to make a 'Rettungsgasse' when there is a traffic jam, whereas e.g. in The Netherlands, emergency services use the 'vluchtstrook' (outermost lanes not used for traffic) in such cases.
Well, again, the directly voted European Parliament 1. elects the President of the Commission, 2. acks/nacks the contents of the Commission and 3. can force the Commission to resign.

I mean, it's not like a wink, wink, handshake and some random person gets installed just like that as the President of the European Commission.

The Parliament really has to approve the person, whoever it is and however the person is found.
I know the basic ones. I was asked to do inorder traversal with some other requirements which I think I did. I was also asked to write correct code for finding connected components on a paper which I kinda didn’t do so well. I think having a computer nearby would have helped me in the second problem but writing on paper seems to much for me.
You're replying to someone that uses dogwhistle language ("sjw blogs"). The unstated reasoning is that since women or trans people are inferior, if they are popular or acclaimed it -must- mean that there is some politically motivated push behind it, while more deserving males are ignored (see the issues with reactionary Hugo awards voting slates in the near past).
No it's not, and often being "nice" instead of doing the correct and predictable thing while driving is extremely dangerous.
It's not just big content. It's anyone who produces content on the Internet that Google can reach. Same goes for pinterest. All they do is use other people's content.

Why is that OK?

Imagine a used book store did that. Someone comes in with a photo copied book, the store buys and resells it. Or simply inserts their own ads for other books into it.

That store would be shut down and the owner arrested.

Google does it. crickets
Git is extremely different from SVN at all levels. Pijul does not appear particularly different from Git from a high-level perspective, however. Internal implementation details are very different, but they are largely invisible to the user.

It appears that Pijul is meant as an enhancement to Darcs (At least, the FAQ makes that out to be the case). Darcs which has its list of key features here: http://darcs.net/Features, all of which overlap entirely with Git.
I'll acknowledge this is a pretty good zing! But I do see some difference between the two examples.

These Github listicles have a history of being collaborative efforts by developers, in order to crowdsource a high-quality source of information on some kind of topic. To have the maintainer turn around and monetize the work of others, AFTER those others already submitted their contributions, seems kinda dishonest to me. With Twitter, you (sorta) know what you're signing up for, given that you agree to EULA, privacy policy and whatnot in order to register an account.
Thank you for this reply.
> but I always consume at least one "hyperlocal" paper (+local radio) to stay up to speed on the things that happen in my immediate neighborhood.

I use FB in order to stay up-to-date with news from my childhood town, of which I moved out 18 years ago. It kind of gives me a feeling of belonging, even though almost all of my friends and even my parents have moved out of that town.

Do not stop reading news. Be selective with your sources. Be a discerning news consumer.

An uninformed populace is a malleable one. Controlling and limiting information has long been a strategy for despots or worse.

> The point is, most of what you read online today is pointless

Don't read that then. Read sources you believe are important to you and deliver information that is important.

Be a discerning news consumer.

> Being well informed isn’t regurgitating the opinion of some twenty-two-year-old with no life experience telling me what to think or how outraged to be.

This isn't news, it's opinion. Don't read this.

Be a discerning news consumer.

> Read from publications that respect and value your time, the ones that add more value than they consume.

In other words, be a discerning news consumer.

> Read fewer articles and more books.

This is a weird argument.

Look, people hate the media, so an argument like this is an easy sell. But rejecting information from the media is a concession to power.
Do you happen to subcontract web dev work ?
Hot take: she's the anti-Heinlein. Rhetorically, there are more similarities than differences. Both use fiction primarily for parables - to dramatise their own particular moral slant - rather than open-ended exploration.

Neither is unique in that, but it seems like both were at opposite poles for their time. IMO the moral slant in both is rather heavy-handed and - ironically - there's a sort of bedrock of puritanism motivating both of them, although with different apparent aims, and expressed in very different ways.

In a city, you won't have this problems, as traffic will jam at the first road work it encounter anway. Besides, how do ones plan to make all those people collaborate ?

It all seems very theorical and not that useful.
there is another solution, get government off the backs of the poor and middle class. from costs of simple government services to the the fees associated with occupational licensing it is not cheap being poor and trying to work.

then throw in the ever fun new ways cities try to make money by trumping up trivial issues like declaring someone's home needs repair, a stack of firewood done "wrong", or a crack in a drive way, and fining them hundreds if not thousands of dollars. all fines against people who cannot afford to dispute the charge and may not even be able to pay it. Traffic fines starting over two hundred dollars for even the most minor infraction.

or school systems where the number of non teaching positions are inflated all the while at the same time politicians are raising taxes to under the guise of improving education but its merely to pay for non teaching jobs.

The idea that the "wealthy" are not paying sufficient taxes ignores the reality of how much taxes everyone is already paying. People tend to just focus in on the "income tax" and ignore all the fees and embedded taxes in every day living. the US has one of the most progressive tax systems in the world and when you look at who pays the bulk of the taxes its not even close. As a percentage the "wealthy" already pay many times percentage wise than other classes. The US governments own figures on taxes at federal, city, and state, levels shows this- it is not even disputable.

Yet, when Congress recently passed a law to limit state and city deductions from the Federal taxes to TEN THOUSAND dollars who complained? The same supposed champions of the poor and why ? because their OWN wealthy people were having to pay more taxes.

Simple truth, you could confiscate every billionaires fortune and not pay for our government or the proposals in the offing. however where you will find that wealth is the investments backing pensions and 401ks. you think that once they "nip" the wealthy they will stop? After all its already been stated by many in one party about the unfairness of 401K programs you can damn well bet they will get their wish.
1 in 4 is better than 0 in 4, which is what most of the worlds traffic sees outside northern europe. I also don't really believe it is close to as bad as 1 in 4. Studies I have seen seem to say it works almost every time but maybe not perfectly so.

While caffeine is a mild diuretic, it’s a myth that drinking coffee (or tea) causes dehydration – something I only learned in the last year or two. The BBC has a decent article on this topic: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20140402-are-coffee-and-tea-...
That happened to me. All I had to do is patch windows server. I didn't have to change or even recompile my code.

I know is hard to believe it's that simple, but it is.
There are a few billion reasons why it doesn't work. Indirect calls and jumps are usually the most common one because they can only be resolved while the program is running. Then there is self modifying code, most commonly because the executable was packed with UPX or equivalent. Then there is the fact that contrary to popular opinion emulators aren't forbidden from using JIT compilers which cache commonly executed code. The JIT may take some time to run but it's a negligible portion of total CPU time.

Then there is the problem that the userbase for running emulated software just doesn't exist or is incredibly small. People and businesses are completely fine with running x86 only software on x86 hardware. The effort spent on building a super advanced emulator should instead be spent on making the new platform easier to develop for and ensuring more software is supported natively.

Where I live there is a very strong culture of politeness and kindness in driving. For instance, I often see (and do it myself) that someone has let a person in who is trying to pull out of a hard-to-leave business driveway, with no hope of reward, just out of a sense that other people have helped you out in the past so now it is your turn.

In a recent construction on my way to work they put in two lanes where there was one, which must merge within a hundred yards to get over a narrow bridge. Filling both lanes and zipping would increase the capacity at that location, no doubt. But few drivers do it. Are others worried, as I am, that it would be part of a change in the overall driving culture, normalizing cutting ahead?

That is, could zipping be a local optimization that leads to a global suboptimization, an overall decrease in how reasonable it is to drive around here?
What does "fake" mean? Even if you're taking as-camera images (which have already had de-Bayer and some level of dynamic range and denoise processing, which may be considerable and involve machine learning!), then you can't tell what manipulation has been applied to the scene. You can rent little "sets" for taking photography in. Props and clothes can be borrowed. And so on.

Authenticity is a product, just like any other. And it's increasingly hard to say what it even means in the 21st century.
Didn't the last US election have the largest turnout in the past century? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_United_States_elections
There are some indications that the bottom 15% of IQs will not become the STEM man's burden. Instead, AI will hit the fat underbelly of knowledge work, first, where people get paid more than the bottom 15%, to do the things that can be automated without interacting with real-world objects.

The problem won't be robot shopping cart fetchers or grocery baggers, but that knowledge work, which is the last refuge of human usefulness in the workforce will get hollowed out from the lower-middle. There is no "next thing" after knowledge work.

Optimistic characterizations like "post scarcity" don't seem like they will be applicable before mass disemployment hits. Instead of having to implement redistributive policies for the 15% outside the knowledge economy, we will be faced with a bigger, more educated cohort that can't be retrained to other knowledge work faster than AI will automate those categories.

Shorter work-weeks will help. Perhaps for long enough to figure out a solution. Better start soon, though.
You don’t need to show an ad in your tv shows if the whole show is an ad. I’ll bet Goop pays Netflix to show this. I hope this is not where Netflix is headed. Netflix has a widely disliked feature of showing previews of shows without giving users the ability of pausing or stopping the preview. Are they going to force everyone to see a preview of this Goop show? Is this how they are going to start showing ads?
They're also supposed to serve the people; and when they don't, it's the people's responsibility to remove them from power.

Which is just about where we are right now in many countries, at the point where that coin drops collectively.
Yes, there are big differences between interviewing a police suspect and interrogating a prisoner of war. For example, the police suspect may be worried about going to prison if they say the wrong thing, or being murdered if they betray a colleague, while that hardly applies to the prisoner of war. Also, the police suspect is typically speaking in front of several witnesses while being (visibly) recorded.

By the way, if someone working for the Luftwaffe during the second world war is a "Nazi interrogator", then presumably any RAF people being interviewed would be "Tory airmen".

Sometimes this is harder than you think, even with popular news sources. I subscribe to the NY Times, but if I go by notifications on my phone for the "popular" stories, many of them are opinion pieces. In fact, I'm looking right now at "Most Popular" in my NYTimes app and I'm seeing multiple "opinion" pieces in that list (actually 5 of the top 10) and only after you click into them do you know that they aren't hard news.
