I've done this for a long time, but that's because I'm extra fussy about keeping diffs as small and focused (on the thing I actually intend to change) as possible. It's the same reason I prefer always-use-curly-braces and indenting multiline parameter lists a single indent (as opposed to lining them up after the function name) in C++. And avoid reformatting for its own sake when making chnges to things. It can be hard to convince others of the utility of these practices, though. :P
This is where I feel a bit better about targeted advertising, if they're not able (as in at least not cheaply enough to be worth it) to serve me an ad in a language I understand, they still have a long way to go.

And that's in Switzerland where people have a lot of disposable income and thus must be more attractive to advertisers than most places, despite being relatively small.

That does not change their state of being.

How they get the data is a matter of their nature, not whether they are beings.

I also did not speak to their state, only what may define actually having one, as opposed to being something simpler, an expression as I put it above.

That cuts both ways. The most comfortable combo of a display and font size leaves me at 70 characters per line, making anything more wrap awkwardly. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that XX-chars limit only works if everyone else has tools that work best with XX.

Depending on what you need, setting up a React app is super complicated and time consuming. Especially when you need SSR.

There is a reason why frameworks such as Next.js, Reframe, and now this one are being used.

I'd actually say the opposite, it's tools like Webpack that don't have enough abstraction. I don't care how source maps are being generated, why on earth is it a good idea for Webpack to force me to dig into that? (If at least Webpack's default source map config would work out of the box but it doesn't.)
Parcel hits the right abstraction level much better.

One of the dangers, especially with statistical tests of uniformity, is that they often over detect departures from uniformity when using large samples.
And even worse, of course you can backdoor a system when you modify firmware. Why is that news at all?
There is no need for studies, as it's said people are doing it for thousands of years and also it matters what is good for you, not for others. Just quoting from various responses.
I understand the need to do things that aren't the specific thing you want them to do (i.e. run Wikipedia). But I don't see the need for this. What is actually bad about people not recognizing your brand correctly? They sure as shit recognize the product. If someone can provide an actual reason why this should help the foundation carry out its work, I can be convinced to be in favor of it.

If they are a net negative in the world, I would withhold donations.

It's not about good or bad, it's about opportunity cost. Most people have a limited budget for donations.

> less-privileged people are less productive in a work environment than people from privileged backgrounds.

Some evidence needed. People are throwing out statements as fact without any justified basis. Most of what I have seen from unstressed higher class is that they act like adult children who throw tantrums when things don't go their way; in fact Scotty from Star Trek in a TNG episode makes this exact point about Starfleet Captains. The workers are the productive ones who actually do the work. Long gone are the times where that upper class would tell those workers exactly what to do as the work is too complicated for that. All the people at the top are good at doing is talking to other overgrown children at the top that control the capital... and rewarding themselves when things go according to plan and punishing those who do the work when they don't -- or punishing them even when they do -- i.e. layoffs.
I don't like this as "wiki" has a meaning apart from the wikipedia, so this is colonizing that, much as "windows" colonized the idea of window systems.

(I feel compelled to point out that my example isn't anti-MS: "word" hardly colonizes the idea of "word processor")
The "they" is ambiguous, and the statement it's referring to is ambiguous as well. That's why I asked for clarification multiple times, the refusal to do so is incredibly suspicious.
Never conflate "what is legal" with "what is moral" or "what is rational". Doing so will make so sorely disappointed.
> life reproduces exponentially

Life in general does. Humans, however, seem to be abandoning this trend.
Sure, ~20 years ago Sun Microsystems used to sell some "Ultra Enterprise" servers which offered nice reliability features like redundant power supplies and a backplane and slot setup where you could install several CPU/memory boards or I/O boards.

In comparison to some of their other hardware, these servers were more suited to organizations with more demanding needs like minimizing downtime or having lots of compute power or configuration flexibility.

But of course people quickly realized that a key characteristic of actual enterprise computing is large budgets, so it almost immediately turned into a game of labeling things with the word "enterprise" in hopes of vacuuming up as much of that money as possible.
I was hoping for information on the effects or longer term, repeated fasting, as the article lays it out. It would seem that 24 hours of fasting has the same effects as going for a jog.
Experiments, Growth Engineering, and Exposing Company Secrets Through Your API
Generally speaking people should be much more careful about just pulling down images from Docker Hub. So many image are extremely popular, but also very wrong. For instance there are images that contain some web-framework, a webserver and a supervisor process, ignoring the fact that it goes completely against Dockers own documentation.

You also find image that contain some weird little tool, apparently solely because author of the Dockerfile wrote it himself, not because you actually need it.

I would wish that more people would build packages for their distribution of choice and simply install via the package manager, rather than pulling down compile time dependencies and rebuilding things like webservers, databases or frameworks in containers.

We reach the point where I'm concern when people around me use images that aren't just base OS images. The quality of image from Docker hub is all over the place.
The worse offender here is nba.com, which Geo-redirects you to some local TV channel based on X-Forwarded-For header.
Interesting. My personal response to that list would be:

1) Binding a specific CPU->NIC like one often does for LB's such as HAProxy is likely more performant.

2) Multiple instances of Redis on a single box; one per physical CPU core

3) I can't argue that it's annoying, but generally with Redis you're going to want shards across physical machines anyway.

Not trying to attack, just curious. As you say, that's the beauty of OSS so props to you!
Yes like I said in a world where we don’t have fake products and fake reviews, there is value in a review from someone who didn’t purchase.

Amazon still pretends we are in a world without fake reviews and fake products which is why they allow it.
it's not a bug, it's a exploit that fraudulent sellers are abusing.

Since any seller can list on any listing. Some sellers will list their products on listings that are out of stock, and gain editing priviledges.

Then they will edit the page to whatever other products they want, and merge it with a new listing they create.

The end result is that they get a listing with hundreds or thousands of reviews. So unsuspecting customer will purchase based on social proof.

Perversion is not a solution to deterrence. Moreover, there are grave consequences to disproportionate punishment: all parts of the system would fight against it in different forms, from commiting crimes to prevent being caught, to disproportionate punishments based on the quality of the lawyers, etc.

It would be a much better deterrent to know that if a crime were committed, the punishment came swiftly: the threat of (almost) immediate jail time is much more powerful than the maybe (your life is over).

Again, if a society truly valued freedom, just losing that would be such a great punishment. When you say that such a punishment is not enough its precisely because you dont value freedom that highly.

What brought me to this path was the simple thought exercise: should escaping jail be illegal? How can it be illegal if it is a fundamentally moral act?

There's the usual markdown/reST/et al approach of strip newlines unless they are doubled up at a "paragraph" boundary.

When converting to/from Inform 7 where newlines are sometimes syntactically important, but I want to version control it (and sometimes write/edit it) a bit more "semantic newline", or at least "72-character wrapped", I have a tool converting "hard" newlines to/from Pilcrows [0] (¶). Which I think look reasonable in source document form and is an appropriate mark for the meaning (denoting a new paragraph).

If you need SPA then yea it's easy. But when you need SSR it becomes a whole different story.

Now imagine you want parts of your app to be SPA and some other parts of your app to be SSR. This becomes super complex. Frameworks like Reframe allow you to do that. (I'm Reframe's author (https://github.com/reframejs/reframe).)

Admittedly, mixing SPA and SSR views in one app is uncommon today but that's because people are not aware that they can do that. This will change.
Correct. The recent news is that companies who lease bare-metal often don’t do a good job cleaning up after previous tenants’ BMC modifications. Currently this is happening at least with an IBM platform where they’re leasing Supermicro hosts. It could just as easily be happening with another hosting provider leasing another company’s hardware.

I feel like the pattern of "solve this puzzle, get an interview" has fallen out of fashion in the past few years.

In 2012 I got an interview at facebook by solving a puzzle that involved adding weights to a recursive arrangement of levers on top of levers. I remember both having a lot of fun with the puzzle and knowing that I would have never landed the interview any other way because I was coming from a non-traditional background and still relatively junior.

I think Google's foobar came out a few years later. I had some fun with them and got through the first rounds, but by that point I already had a job and never got around to finishing it.

I also remember doing some fun puzzles on codeeval, hoping their business model of linking people to companies would gain some steam, but the companies they signed up never seemed to be very interesting.

Is leetcode essentially the new codeeval?

No. By throwing away dependency management since the beginning, security was thrown under the bus straight away.

Meanwhile some Linux distributions are still doing careful packaging, freezing, vendorization of dependencies, backporting security fixes to stable releases and so on.

> Do not confuse lack of proof as proof of lack

If taken to the extreme, this logic can be used to prove literally anything. "Haven't seen any proof of invisible back-massage fairies? Well, don't confuse lack of proof as proof of lack!". When your framework can be used to prove something false, it means that the framework is unreliable.

I don't really know what "sciencism" is, but we know that the scientific method has been demonstrated to work in producing results that are useful to us. I am typing this message on an electronic keyboard, plugged into a computer, plugged into a giant-ass interconnected network hitting satellites and fiber-cables and whatnot, all of which were developed by scientists or engineers following a scientific method.

To use your wording, however, while I can't conclusively say "lack of proof is proof of lack", I can easily say "lack of proof is strong evidence of lack". Occam's razor tells us to discard unnecessary assumptions.
Emotional understanding means feeling the emotions of the other. If you do not feel what the other is feeling yourself, then you simply have an intellectual appreciation, which you agree is sympathy. Don't take my word for it.

Merriam-webster defines empathy(https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/empathy):

> the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings,

Notice the 'and vicariously experiencing'. If there is no experience, it is not empathy. Stop using the word to mean something it is simply not.
> So we can conclude that the chessex opaque purple die rolled here is biased. (Or the die-roller is).

We could use conditional probabilities to determine if the die is biased or if the roller is biased, I think: see if P(face is 19 | face was n before roll) = P(face is 19) by statistical hypothesis testing. Not that the data we have tells whether or not.

I'd argue the US and China have more chaotic/lawful neutral elements, at least with the former valuing nobody above themselves and breaking the laws when convenient, and the latter's obsession with stability at the cost of freedom.

> you get no benefit from writing it in a wider format

Putting unlimited characters on a line is not merely a "wider format". It's a way of saying "format it as wide as you like", therefore the benefit is not in having a wider format, but one that simultaneously wider and narrower, depending on what's needed.

To help visualize the benefit, abolishing line length in
prose prevents
lines from breaking in unexpected places, when the user's
display is
narrower than the preformatted text line. I find it
extremely jarring.

With almost every editor today being able to word wrap, this stops being a problem.

While line lengths may be significant for code, where limiting "sentence length" may be useful, prose is an entirely different thing to read.
This is a really good idea !

> Thunderbolt is probably not even relevant for most users outside of the Apple universe.

Actually not the case -- the TB chipsets are from Intel and promoted by them.

TB drives are pretty fast and great to use if you can afford them. TB external GPUs are useful for ML too (not sure if anyone is using them for actual rendering; that's outside my field of experience).
I'm not convinced of that. It feels very much like self driving cars: people look back 5 years, see X amount of progress, and assume that at least X amount more will be done 5 years from now. Reality rarely tracks that way.

A 4% withdrawal rate has a non-zero failure rate over 30 years, let alone in perpetuity. I would say they are no where close to being completely self sustaining. Also, using math calculated for personal retirement (The Trinity Study) is not appropriate for a trust/endowment/etc. Different risk tolerance, different investment strategy, different goals.

On top of that, assuming they will have zero effective cost increases is wrong. There is so much growth left in content and users. How much has Wikipedia grown in the last five years? How well do they cover non English languages? What if they had the same size article base in English as every other language? What if every internet connected user could use Wikipedia?

Saying we could freeze Wikipedia costs in 2019 based on $90M in the bank is shortsighted.
