> The fact that you're implementing it via reverse proxying is kind of an implementation detail, because at any point it could stop being Google Analytics, or an existing first-party analytics solution on a website could become GA.

I think you (probably unintentionally if I understand you correctly) actually just pointed out a good reason why those who really really care should block analytics even from the same domain as the site they are visiting : )

Not that it will help against a determined web site owner trying to track though: Very much of the tracking can be done one the server side (and even proxied from the server side to another third party).

CVE-2019-9169 GNU C library buffer over-read via case-insensitive regex match
The story about the person having 365 cards to simulate having a birthday each day doesn't make sense, on two fronts.

#1, birthday is assigned per account, not card, so that requires 365 accounts. Their terms of service forbids having more than one account (it changed sometime after 2010 per archive.org), so they can deny such misuse.

#2, the birthday gift is a free item, so there is no need to artificially suppress the list price of that item. The entire item is free anyway, whether it is a $2 tall drip coffee or a $9 salad.
It's less than fake. You can't actually pinpoint it. There is no little you sitting in your head over the dashboard and making decisions. You don't decide when to decide to move your hand. It just comes to you. If we disconnect your hemispheres which one is going to be you?

There are books on the topic, I don't have a slightest hope to get the point across, but I think if you ponder it long enough then you can come to the conclusion even on your own. You can call this familiar pattern "myself" but it's not like there's any ego that you can find in there.

And what I mean here is not "let go of your self be free and enlightened". It's just that it's all more reasonable from purely rational perspective. There are a lot of patters that you can observe in and around you. You can call them all John Doe, but when you examine these patterns, you can exclude some as something that's "not you", just a thing that happens here. If you keep doing that I don't see how can you extract what you call ego. You could group some selfish behavior patterns and associate them with ego as in when we say somebody has a big ego, but I don't think that's what you mean here.

Regarding Borland, as historical note, Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 for MS-DOS was the very last MS-DOS compiler to add support for C++.

Borland was already selling version 3 of their compiler by then.

On Windows side, Object Windows Library and Visual Component Library were much more productive, ahead of time Qt, than MFC ever was.

But then Borland's missteps meant that MFC was the only framework left, and only a couple of enterprises still get to enjoy C++ Builder's RAD productivity.
On a weekend just have to avoid the road there. Yes it is busy but what makes it so awful is everyone slowing down to 20mph so they can gawk at it. Then there is the inevitable shunts as someone forgets to brake in a line of traffic. Personally I would plant a hedge to shield view from the road. This in itself will make traffic flow better. Of course hedge will just not fit in with the Salisbury plain landscape. Stonehenge was put there originally for its long views of the horizon and the sun rising/setting.

With a single random password most people will write down their password, so anyone who can read what was written down gains full access. With a random username and a user-chosen password most people will write down their username but not their password. Clearly this approach is more secure.

I don't see how relying on haveibeenpwnd can be considered secure. Many people use the same password for different sites. If your site's login credentials are just email+password you are relying on the security and honesty of all other sites that use the email+password combination.

Yeah, I also don't like that word 'agenda'. Like "That person has an agenda".. it seems akin to 'bias' - they're mental diseases only other people have. "I'm passionate, he has an agenda." They're fallacies, I think. They do the magical job of lifting oneself up to a superior, more scientific, objective footing, just by saying the words, turning mere disagreement into victory. "You're biased" - (and I'm not - I win). "You have an agenda" - (and I don't - so I win). Also it assumes you have good reasons for your beliefs while the other person doesn't. Which really isn't assuming good faith, or good anything. It's surprising that tactic wasn't exploded and permanently run out of town long ago.

Don't get me started on "authentic"! :-)

The article is from September 1996. Delphi 2 was out by then, and taking 32 bit Windows development by storm. Delphi programmers generally had nothing but scorn for Visual Basic. Not because it was Microsoft, but because it really was a shitty tool, and programs produced with it tended to be slow, bloated, hard to maintain, and often poorly coded.
Those plugins still need an API in some language to interface with the host. A natural choice would be JavaScript: it's the world's most popular programming language, relatively easy to embed, and runtimes are available in every operating system.

At that point, you don't need WASM separately — just execute JavaScript and allow plugin writers to embed WASM modules for high performance, just like browsers do.

This talk was really prophetic https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death...
It has nothing to do directly with FFT, which is why it is confusing:

What he is looking for is maximal correlation between two binary series (think "Pearson's r or r-square correlation coefficient"). Now, correlation is just like convolution except one series is flipped around on the time axis. Which means, if you have an efficient way to compute convolutions (and you do, through FFT), you have an efficient way to compute correlations.

(I don't think 5 year olds heard of Pearson's correlation coefficient or convolutions, but ... that's the best I can do).

In many ways, correlation and covariance are more fundamental than convolution - they are closely and directly related to the inner product.

And the only reason to use the FFT here is convenience (i.e., it is fast and simple to compute), but the correlation/convolution property applies to many "transform domains" - Laplace, Z, Cosine, Sine, and a few others (all of which are closely related among themselves, but only a few easy to compute numerically).

Fantastic! This makes me extremely excited about WASM! (Bonus points for Rust)
I have developed in many static typed languages like C# and Java in my career but now I am being converted to web and mobile development so I know the advantages and disadvantages of a static type system. In my experience, I am much more productive in a dynamic instead of a static type system when implementing frontends.
For you to have an idea, this react native project I developed alone was sold to the client to be implemented in 3 months. The catch was I didn't have any experience in mobile development and I was still developing another web project. So I had to learn react native, ios and android development as fast as possible to do a medium-sized app. Having more friction using typescript for me was a killer.

But for a backend I would certainly have used static types as it's way more critical.
To be honest, I've read plenty of articles that read like those examples: superficially they seemed to make sense, but when you pay attention to the logic behind it, it makes no sense. And those were articles written by real people, by journalists.

And even scientists often seem to write a bunch of meaningless filler that feels scientific in their papers, presumably because that kind of text needs to go in that place in their paper.

Another thing, from the article:
"Simple correlations also seem sufficient to capture most polite conversation talk, such as the weather is nice, how is your mother’s illness, and damn that other political party."

You know how hard I had to work at that? I used to be incapable of small talk or maintaining a conversation. I could talk only in those "deep structures" but struggled to put that in sentences that formed a natural part of a conversation. I worked hard at those "simple correlations"; they were not so simple for me.
Then the real problem is how do we communicate with a rock?
You seem to have the misconception that rents are set by supply and demand that are free variables. In reality rents are tightly bound to the mortgage. Rent for a property is roughly the same as mortgage for the same property. It can't be much higher because otherwise people would just buy instead of rent. It can't be much lower because that would mean that property is in unattractive spot which drives the price of property down to match.

> In actuality, rents are set by the rental market overall, governed by supply and demand. It doesn't matter if 500 homes to rent are owned by 2 or 200 people.

In actuality price of a thing depends on amount of units of a thing and amount of capital that people interested in the thing have. If you drive out some amount of capital from some market the prices will drop. As properties prices drop, rent drops.

> A tax like that would just make rents increase to X+Y for units owned by large landlords, where Y is the new tax cost. X would not change, making the policy achieve exactly nothing.

It would be X+Y for large land lords but X+y for small landlords (where y<Y because the tax is progressive). So large landlords wouldn't find much demand for their properties, which would force them to sell to individuals and smaller landlords. Which is exactly the point of the tax.

I don't suppose they have a mulatto quota though.
I'm quite lefty and I make this mistake often, so often that early in my life my parents took me to the doc thinking I had some sort of issue. I believe my right brain hemisphere is quite more developed than the other and the information when travelling from one side to the other isn't so fluent as other people. No matter how much I talk and practice, it doesn't get much better, but I've learned how to better compensate that with either using my left brain or with character.

Don't see it as a defect. Make it a quality.

In the end, it's not much of an issue. It sucks to communicate sometimes and I know I will never have that politician way of talking, but you can say sorry and people are ok with that and with a bit of experience dealing with those situations, you actually get to be funny or show some character.

I have no trouble working on my expertise and do absolutely well in math and abstract stuff though. Even with languages I do just fine, can speak 3 languages fluently, some others a bit well. I bet you can relate as well to things you do much better above others, focus on them. Don't sweat it :-)
> And similarly, even if we made vastly more complex systems that could create a passable replication of human behavior - I do not think there would, at any point, suddenly appear some entity within that machine suddenly imagining itself driving the deterministic decisions occurring within.

So I code a fleshy looking automaton that it's indistinguishable for you from a human. Every action and communication is 100% convincing. Surely you feel some empathy towards it (since you are not able to tell) and you may even want it not to suffer. Does that change after I tell you what it "really is"? How about other people?

I still can't figure out how very smart people who know a lot of science, look at this world and say "here - science", "there - also science", and then there's me. I know how my brain works and that you can manipulate my behavior just by touching it, but apart from it there's also the entity. It's obviously not there but I'm also sure it is.

I never got the whole "white people food is bland" meme, seems like an American thing to me. If everything you make and eat has the same spicy curry mix, well then isn't that kind of bland as well?

When using better raw ingredients, there is less rot and foulness to mask with spices. Also better storage and refrigeration makes some spices have less of practical benefit.
As per @nrki's comment;

> I think if you are brought up on mutton, then mutton tastes great

No one has been "brought up on" any kind of meat further ago than the last 100 years or so, people couldn't afford it. People kept animals until they were old and had no other purposes (like milk or wool) before they were killed for meat.

>Not non-religious, but other religions

Not sure what you mean by that - you seem to be not very politely saying I got the stat wrong? I was referring to the line:

"No Religion affiliation (16%): atheists, agnostics and people who do not identify with any particular religion."

- which I think it's fair to summarize as "non-religious". (And 15.5% are catholic apparently)

edit: ..Although when I was at my most religious, 25 years ago, I didn't 'identify with any particular religion' but felt very close to a number of different ones - Hindu gurus, christian mystics, buddhism of various types, sufis etc.

You can easily build and train commercial grade neural nets on consumer hardware. Read about, say, a state of the art image recognition net on arxiv, pull an implementation for python in tensor flow or cafe or pytorch or what have you from GitHub (tons of open source), and with nothing more than just a cursory understanding of what you're doing and some basic programming skills, you can run scripts to train and evaluate functional neural networks on your own data set. I've fully trained numerous modern architectures on a single 1080TI to perform image recognition in a matter of days.

All of this is within reach of the average developer. If there's any monopoly, it's over training data, which Google and Amazon happen to specialize in. But even large datasets exist as open source.

From what I can tell, machine learning, the precursor to AI, is here, and both knowlege and implementation are fully accessable to the general populace.
One important thing here is that language is not equal to cognition. It is entirely possible to posess a high order intelligence but learn a concept of language in later years (eg deaf people who learn sign language in 20s). So no, humans are not Markov chains, they are something stranger.
A key to smalltalk is to understand the game that's being played. When you're talking about something technical, the point is to discover and deliver useful insights on the subject at hand. When you're doing smalltalk, the point is to make the other feel comfortable and accommodated, to entertain, and be entertained. Therefore, it's more about trying to understand what the other person is feeling (this is usually a matter of looking at body language, imagining what's going on in their lives) then it is about delivering useful insight. Usually, if in doubt, listening attentively and trying to work out what makes the other person tick is a productive strategy.
