For every piece of fake news in the_donald, it legitimately calls out five examples from liberal sources.

It's a combination of meme factory and watchdog group. It's a little crazy because it has to be. When you can't speak about your views reasonably and publicly because you'll be ostracised no matter what you say or how accurate it is, what else can you do? How else do you respond?

The maga DC kid literally just stood there and was called a racist and bigot with calls for his face to be punched in and for him to be doxxed. Imagine if he opened his mouth to say something? That's the world people in the_donald live in. Fear to speak.

And that story turned out to be fake news anyway. For people using it, the_donald played an important role of being a place where much of the truth of that situation was surfaced.

I don't think you can really blame people for saying fuck it, if nobody's going to hear me out, I may as well be fun and funny and extreme while I do it.

Plus, everybody knows that the real danger isn't that it promotes a lot of fake news, but that the real news that it does surface might be convincing.

Between the memes, the_donald is part of a well-rounded news feed if your goal is to actually understand US politics and the viewpoints of many conservative thinkers, and not just blindly desire people to conform to something else.

It obviously should not be your only news source.
I exclusively use Chromium or privacy-oriented forks on my devices, so I'll be sticking to the user-agent faking for now. Thanks for the clarification though!
"People must think about why they are hearing about something and the layers and goals that are behind it and drive it."

But do they or will they? The proliferation of flat earth videos on YouTube suggests otherwise. In a perfect world everyone would critically examine what they hear, but a lot of people just feed their existing biases.

(To be clear, I'm not suggesting that flat earth videos are banned because they seem harmless, if stupid. Anti-vaccine content, on the other hand, needs some additional context at the very minimum.)
I found something like this when searched for antibiotic resistance in russian.

I'm in a similar situation as the author, in that most of the 'stuff' in my life are facilitators for my hobbies and passions in life outside of work.

When people walk into my home office and see the number of guitars, amps and pedals lying around, they are often taken aback. I do have a lot of music gear, but they are integral to me winding down and de-stressing from my developer life and exploring another creative side of my life.

When people ask me why I need about 10 guitars lying around and to downsize to just a couple, I say "No can do... each instrument is so different, and intended for a different purpose so I can't simply achieve all that with just one or two".
I’ve been typing dvorak for the past three years. I can touch type and switch between dvorak and qwerty.

I program in dvorak (vim), but my typing is much faster on qwerty(80 wpm on dvorak and 100 wpm on qwerty).

I also need to type in korean from time to time.

Trying to fit this configuration onto any specific new machine has been a pain. I’ve used karabiner, ukulele and what not for mac, and autohotkey for pc. I forget what I used for linux, but that was also a pita.

So dvorak was useful in speeding up my qwerty, but tbh most of that time was not really for utility that I experience now, but rather for the enjoyment of honing my tools. (The work never ended up getting done :)

So take what you will, I just think thinking about things you take for granted and taking the time to reprogram your mind (and sadistically challenge yourself) is not such a horrible use of your time...!
> If you have a tight loop, LRU is going to be perfect as long as the loop fits in cache, but it's going to cause a miss every time if the loop doesn't fit. A random eviction policy degrades gracefully as the loop gets too big.

That's the key take-away from my experience with optimizing control loops for microcontrollers with small caches. As soon as your loop is too bit, your code suddenly runs at a hundredth of the speed.
News that turn out to be false are not fake news. News deliberately known to be false are fake news.

Example from the last US presidential election:

* The Pope endorses Bernie Sanders -> this is fake news

* The Pope endorses Trump -> this is fake news

* The Pope endorses Clinton -> this is fake news

All three spread on facebook, btw (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pope-francis-shocks-world-...)

Also, anonymous sources are not fake news, they're anonymous sources. If labelled as such, the are fine.
Good example, but I still think it's better to have conflicting information out there, let people write what they write and read what they read. And above all, think for themselves, or at least try. Sure, a couple of people end up not vaccinating their kids. The rest shouldn't have a problem with that, after all, they do vaccinate, so their kids are protected. It's an extreme example but I don't see anything that warrants curtailing free speech here.

And also, I think science is never settled. Science is a never ending stream of questions, with every answer evoking multiple new questions to be answered. The idea that the "science is settled" has reared it's ugly head multiple times in the past, to be proven wrong every single time. What if bloodletting was as some point considered "settled science" and no discussion of alternatives was allowed? We would still be doing bloodletting, wouldn't we?

It is a hard problem.

The answer is it will never fully be solved but if there is enough competing information and facts are out there, you might just get most of the people to hold down the fort.

There will always be people fooled by disinformation/misinformation and everyone probably has been fooled by some, even highly skilled intel agents that purposefully look for it and have access to more info.

As long as most people can differentiate fake/real fact/fiction/bias then we are good.

I do think it is better to have this information out to be fought, when you hide it, critical thinking skills aren't improved over time, and we become more susceptible to it.

We need to solve it before AI and neural networks target and learn about each one of us, and where we are gullible or biased. Some of the disinformation/misinformation/fake news out there is already algorithm driven and when it can be tuned to each individual's psychology that is when it gets scary. Already these networks are grouping people in smaller and smaller target groups and the result is highly effective.

Education and critical thinking is the only way, people need to challenge all authority and all information, especially after emergencies/disasters/shock/attacks as that is when the hoards emerge the most.
Tech Experts Discuss the Future of Autonomous Vehicles: Podcast
Interested by the downvotes here. Genuine question - are people OK with anti-vaccine content being displayed unchecked? Or is it more a reaction to "doesn't feel complicated," which I can understand might feel like it's minimising an ethically fraught issue.
Yeah, it's pretty crazy that there would be such a huge difference. Turning off Hangouts and using uBlock Origin might make a big difference because that's all I've really done to modify it.

It basically replaces IPSec. You might want to look that up. There should be plenty of information regarding that.
A common solution to this problem is to make the decision based on the cost of replacing the items. If you haven't used an item in 3 months and it takes 20 minutes and $20 to replace then that's a candidate for throwing out. If if takes 3 days and $300 to replace with little resale value then that's a candidate for storing.
I misunderstood your post regarding accessibility then :) it's unfortunate but some react and Vue patterns tend to lead to a lot of div soup. It doesn't have much to do with the tooling but rather a lack of education for the devs on the subject and it's a testament to how easy it is to create custom components in both.

> I also think it's fair to describe this page as breaking the way hyperlinks usually work on the web.

Well maybe. A good SPA imo will render the first pageload with SSR, which means that your links will actually work the same. You share a link or open it in a new tab or whatever and it will load a page full of HTML that might not even need JavaScript.

SPAs do hijack the link system but they do so to retain natural back button functionality. Back when they didn't, people complained about that, rightfully so.

Howe there's nothing emulating anything. SPA links are anchors, as they are anywhere else on the web, and all the apis are native to the browser. It doesn't have anything to do with accessibility, no.
Too little karma to edit and fix indentation. Anyway given the above functions, think about adding support for only returning the buffer if the file contains a specific word. While certainly doable in both cases I would at least feel more uncertain editing the first without accidentally creating a bug...

I think one of the lessons of the history "accelerate the contradictions" ( http://acceleratethecontradictions.blogspot.com/2010/04/acce... ) is that putting the public in a situation where they have to improve lest there be a huge disaster, is a good way to get a huge disaster.

But the reason Gmail is so slow isn't because they've made it a SPA. It's because they made it a shitty SPA. They use nonstandard web technologies that work like ass. It was also a SPA before the new redesign and it worked pretty well.

The more competing information, the fewer people left holding a full set of accurate cards; it's becoming easier to micro-target the lies to peel off individuals with what they really want to believe.

> as most people can differentiate fake/real fact/fiction/bias then we are good

Generally they can't, because truth is not intrinsic to the news article you have in front of you. You either check it against what you already know ("confirmation bias"), against the source of authority, or you have to go do actual research (huge amount of work and nearly always infeasible).

>The rest shouldn't have a problem with that, after all, they do vaccinate, so their kids are protected. It's an extreme example but I don't see anything that warrants curtailing free speech here.

Are you honestly serious here? Do you not realize that there are many kids and people that legitimately can not vaccinate their own kids due to allergy or immune response issues? They compromise herd immunity and is the entire reason why we're seeing another measles outbreak!

Acting like there isn't a problem here is either being simply uninformed or deliberately ignorant. That's exactly why I have a problem with anti-vaxxers because they're threatening the lives of those around them because of some incredibly stupid and unfounded beliefs.
> Can I take the dozens of news outlets in the Western world to court for lying about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction? It was their coverage which arguably resulted in public support with billions of tax dollars spent on a lie

The "dozens of news outlets" were not, as far as they knew, lying. They were reporting what their sources, many/most of them public, told them. If you want to punish someone for this lie, it should be the Bush administration.
It is a difficult problem, but the alternative is to have something like a Ministry of Truth, and that is scarier than information out there competing in the market.
I meant the entry model. Easily blame it on the dollar or something.
If we're not even going to flag completely false yet carefully crafted propaganda from hostile countries designed solely to wreck our democracy, then we are screwed.

And be aware that nations that censor aren't flagging a meme or two. They conspicuously hound reputable outlets and reporters into silence. And everyone living in such places knows it's happening.

They're not wringing thier hands wondering if holocaust denial is not ranked high enough by google, they talking worriedly about Maria Ressa being suddenly jailed etc.

> they do vaccinate, so their kids are protected.

There is a small but noticeable component of kids who can't be vaccinated for other health reasons. It's also possible to catch illnesses before the scheduled vaccination date.

I get where you're coming from, but bloodletting wasn't based on randomised controlled trials, and the science on vaccines is as clear as it's going to get. The issue for me here is protection of children, as happens when kids are removed from abusive parents. "Sure, a couple of people end up not vaccinating their kids," feels a bit glib, because measles can be fatal. We draw the line elsewhere - racism, homophobia, libel. The arguments against this here feel like they amount to special pleading for social media, whereas in the rest of society certain speech is, rightly in my view, policed.

Like some of the discussions around GDPR, it feels like there may be a cultural difference between the USA and EU in terms of how much government is trusted, and I wonder if that's a large part of the disagreements in these comments. I'm in the UK and trust the government not to overreach (although in the light of Brexit that trust is wearing very thin), and even if it did our independent judiciary would reign it in, as it has done many times in the past.
My own personal experiments show that even with huge rule lists, the latency incurred on the connection is barely above the noise and improves loading times on most websites by mulitple magnitudes more than it could increase latency.

As a Dvorak user who regularly writes other languages, this little gem is my normal layout: `setxkbmap -layout us -variant dvorak-alt-intl -option compose:caps`. Now AltGr + characters around a, o and e in combination with just a couple compose keys (Compose, a, e for æ, for example) serve most of my Norwegian, German and very occasional French needs. Most compose keys are also really easy to remember, since they resemble the building blocks of the characters they result in.
I was actually surprised by the level of support for Colemak, when I switched two years ago. OSX and Windows support it out of the box, even my Kinesis Freestyle Edge has a preset layout available on the website. The only real annoyance from the software side is videogames defaulting keyboard controls to WASD, but that’s hardly a significant issue. The real problems are on the hardware side; one has to either use blank keys or to hack something up. Even in the mechanical-keyboard communities there is no real attention for non-Qwerty users.

Colemak is awesome, btw. My hands and wrists feel even more relaxed than they did when I first switched to “split keyboards”.

I wonder how you would define "atomic materialism", especially as opposed to mere "materialism"?

A brief Google suggests the term hasn't been used much since the 19th Century, but could mean either that everything is made of indivisible atoms, or that matter is made up of indivisible atoms. However, we've known for a long time that atoms are not indivisible.

Looking at your last link, perhaps you mean more that "everything is mass"? But quantum field theory as described in that article has been around since at least the 70s, and I think physicists and philosophers would still regard quantum field theory as a materialist theory. In modern usage, "materialism" is synonymous with "physicalism", i.e. that everything is physical [0]. Most physicists would call themselves materialists.

I ask because the same article was posted over a year ago and someone made a very similar looking comment [1].

For me depends on what the knowledge is.

About Code: The only way I've found that works is comments in the code itself (or docs generated from code annotations).

Processes: Playbooks and Automation. Playbooks - DropboxPaper/Google docs that anyone can edit with things like "How to Build and Push XYZ Component", "What to do when the XYZ Server stops responding". Automation - When feasible turn the most used playbooks (or pieces of them) into scripts/tools. Make them the default way of doing things; and any time a break is discovered, fix the tool instead of working around it. Remove outdated/unused tools, so it doesn't feel like a wasteland.

Knowledge on how we do things: You don't want to write docs about 'how to do XYZ'. It will quickly be out-of-date and it'll be horribly micromanagey. But if you and your team collaborative define and document your team values or project/codebase/module principles, I've found you can onboard people quickly and reduce communication. They key here is referencing to the documents when you make a decision guided by them, to keep the docs fresh in peoples minds. And to regularly update the docs.
Exactly this.
