I'm assuming you mean like current events news? I don't. If something important happens, I'll probably find out through osmosis. I'm stressed enough by things I can't control, why would I willingly subject myself to something that I know makes me stressed/depressed? Same reason I mute all notifications and only check them once/twice a day. If there's real emergency I'm going to get a call.

Not that I don't read any news, I just don't follow it, and try to avoid that type of news. I follow sites/blogs about things that interest me (arts, tech, science) and regarding political/philosophical stuff I read books. Sometimes I might be curious about some event (current or historical), in which case I'll go to look for the information I want to know from several different sources or if it's far back enough to have some books about it, get a book or two. For current news this is usually more than a few days after the event so info is also more accurate.
My dentist told me the reason I never needed braces, but all my friends did was from wearing a mouth guard from all the ice hockey we played growing up. They aren't perfectly straight, but except for 2 teeth, very close to it. Every dentist I ever had was like, "Did you ever have braces?"
My impression of many incels is that their looks are not their problem.
Concern trolling.

This is like being worried about the fact that fewer and fewer people build their own cars. If there's no value in it, it won't be done.
In the past year we grew our team from 6 to almost 30 and counting. About 10 of those 30 are senior engineers (between 8-15 years of experience). So far everyone's been very skilled and great to work with.

We work in GitHub, and of those who use their personal profile for work, all of them have "empty" profiles and no meaningful OSS contributions. They spend their free time with their family and in other hobbies.

People who hack on OSS for fun are usually good developers, but good developers rarely hack on OSS for fun especially once they get older.

He most likely meant refined sugars.

Sugar is being added to most foods nowadays. The timeline of cheap refined sugar is the timeline of sugar addiction and tooth decay.
Ignorant here, why will we feel about A380s the same way as the Concorde? What is happening to it?
They are built with extensive redundancy. Airbus A320s have 5 separate computer systems, programmed by 4 different teams, for aircraft control, of which you only need one to fly the plane.

It's a question of what design choices you make. For instance Boeing only has three in its comparable 777 fly by wire system.
The spine worked pretty well until computers, as far as I understood.

My maternal grandfather was very happy to leave Romania, after his family had been there, as near as we can tell, about 600 years, pushed east over the years after coming up from the Mediterranean. In 1923

I use to think this way then I started working in the real world with developers who coded and documented work code cleanly but had messy GitHub profiles especially because until recently private repos were not free. A lot of people don't care about perfectly formatted READMEs, commit comments, etc. if they're just hacking on the weekend on something small... and that's fine.

Nowadays unless you pushed your profile and repos hard in the resume or interview process, I couldn't care less if the rest of the interview went fine. Worst case scenario they're "forced" to write good documentation as part of the job - not everything we do at work is natural or fun for us.
I'd love to hear more. Could you describe your experience and elaborate on how and why it's next-gen compared to ES?
Genuine question, can you elaborate on why you feel that such cycles are nonsensical? Cuz for me I just think that the celeb "paid their dues" by not receiving compensation/exposure for some time (like a prison sentence in the public eye), and if the misendeavor is minor enough they can be reaccepted.
People also care about healthy straight teeth and a nice smile, so it's not like you're getting nothing.
You’re not kidding, and even a little research into this reveals it to be on the same level as dry needling and homeopathy. I think my favorite “evidence” in favor are people taking pictures when they’re preteens, and then showing how their facial structure changed with mewing. It’s not the normal course of puberty guys, it’s magic!

I can easily see why this became mainstream, because it’s easy to do, and a sucker is born every minute. I am however, surprised to see this bunk here. Although, I’ve noticed that on health topics this forum is at its worst. Endless testimonials about vitamin D, magnesium, LSD, FSD diets and more seem paradoxically popular here, and I’m unsure why that is. Maybe the California connection?
Ah yes, i forgot Americans gallons are 4/5 size. Adjust data accordingly, so i did mean 40mpg US! (Most modern diesel estates(station wagons) do up to and sometimes over that, such as mazda 6, Ford Mondeo)

There is of course the `Kernel#send` method, which implies the model is messages being sent. It's not called `call`.

Both the Trump budget and the Yucca items are likely to be treated as dead on arrival at Congress, where such spending outlines have been routinely rejected for decades.
I'm not sure specifically what dishonesty you're pointing to, nor who "we" are.

As far as I can tell, these problems don't have such simple answers.

You may think it pedantic, but I think talking about "forgoing consumption" is absurd. It's literally impossible, and it's a fundamental truth to our existence. Thus, we shouldn't be anything less than blunt about it.

If you stop consuming, you die. We want sustainable consumption, not the end of consumption.
At least we put a smile on one person's face, jk :)

We want users to view the tool as a virtual assistant, and not as the enemy. Over time we hope to add features like daily summaries, more conversational / nlp understanding and, eventually, the ability to understand what the tasks are about so we can offer positive feedback/encouragement.

This is awful, no offense. You're a recruiter, do you mind if I ask if you were previously a professional software engineer? GitHub is often, very often, for small personal projects where you don't spend a lot of time going through TDD or making sure the readme is up to date. Often mine are smaller projects I built to accomplish a specific goal (hello python script that clicks the "okay I'm still watching" button on all the required learning videos I've had to watch at work). It's impressive when someone has a substantial project or contributed to open source, but GitHub shouldn't be a negative signal.
Isn't Apple about as old as Microsoft? Or is it "Amazon & Airbnb"?
There are services that don't moderate (censor) content. For the most part they are shit-holes and most people stay away from them.

If you want to make it so that no site owner can moderate their own site, you are going to have a huge uphill battle. And I can't imagine why you would want that kind of world.

I work on a bunch of servers from various devices and want zero friction when moving around. It also conditions me to be efficient and comfortable, even when everything is not perfectly aligned to my sensitivities.
Following your suggestion, I went ahead and modified the scrambling formula.
The crux of the problem is that the secret is allowed to be absolutely anything (it's user provided).
As a consequence, it's a bad idea to depend on it for the multiplier. Now, the secret key only function is to be a mask, while the multiplier is under implementation control, guaranteeing a good prime.
Q: Alan, how do you suggest coding?
Alan: well we should not have one big source of data. We should organize code into compartments each doing it's own thing with their own data like cells.
Q: How would that work
Alan: Message passing!

Few years later
Q: What is OOP? Inheritance, polymorphism, etc?
Alan: It is message passing. All the other stuff I haven't figured it out yet. They are just nice to have things.

Me: Actually OOP is code organized into cell/computer like structure that happen to use messages to make it work.

Dear Alan don't emphasize message passing although that is a way to deny the other techniques as non-essential to OOP.

Money Mondays: 3 Ways to Optimize This Page for More Sales
No. Copyright is about making a copy. It’s literally in the name: right to copy. A file downloaded illegally means someone made a copy without being authorized by the IP holder.

What you do with the copy is irrelevant.
In 80s California, the word hacker was very often "solving problems that are technically hard, doing it fast or otherwise in an exceptional way, and no concerns about legality" .. please recall that obvious crime like thieving, is only one end of lots of other possibilities, such as disregarding egregious and/or exaggerated legal claims by profit-oriented entities, copy protection, right to alter a consumer product, right to discuss publicly, etc
Huh, I wonder if this is related to why all blue LEDs and Neon lights look vaguely blurry to me, while all the other colors look fine. I honestly have trouble reading anything at night if it's written on a building in blue; I catch myself checking if I have my glasses on.
It's the epitome of hacker news. Reddit also has this "armchair quarterbacking" effect, but it's significantly worse on HN, in my opinion.

A lot of the people here are knowledgeable—in specific domains. I think people forget that being an expert in one thing doesn't make you qualified to judge, understand, or discuss another domain in depth.

Case in point, the recent "tech that reduces sound by 94%" post that got upvoted here.
One imperfect but compelling analogy is the HTTP GET request.

A GET request was originally envisioned as a request for a file at a path. `http://host/get/this/thing.data` The requestor decides what to do (give me this file), the host obeys.

Nowadays we understand GET requests as abstract. The requestor makes a request, but it is the host who decides what to do with it: forward it somewhere else, emit an error, dynamically generate the content, return a real file, serialize and cache the request, etc. The client doesn't know and can't know what the server does.

Notice in particular that hosts are expected to handle arbitrary URLs sensibly.

Java has no support for this, but Ruby and ObjC have these sort of facilities: forwarding, dynamic replies, etc. It's up to the libraries to make good use of it.
This is nice, but it looks like some of these rely on third-party dependencies to make the examples trivial. I'm not really sure it's useful to have an example for say argument parsing which is essentially "here's how to use this argument parser from GitHub".
From reading a lot of the anti censorship comments popping up around FBs activities here, it feels like it is actually partly fueled by the deplatforming actions social networks have been taking here in the US, which have been political, and very anti-free speech.

It doesn’t all seem purely about this case of whether a social network should be required to distribute propaganda videos of mass murder.

Personally I don’t get why people are okay with distribution of child porn being illegal, but think that distribution of mass murder videos shouldn’t be illegal AND ALSO now apparently must be required of any internet company.
I enjoyed "How not to program in C++". It's a collection of find-the-bug puzzles, and has hilarious war stories at the bottom of every other page.

That is only about possession of what is sometimes evidence of abuse, and only about people who were caught with it.

The interesting numbers are how many cases of abuse are hidden from law enforcement because:

1. people won't recognize abusers they know because they won't dare look

2. people would rather destroy a computer than deal with unfriendly police procedures

Oh, BTW, one other problem I didn't mention. The current situation is very easy to use for framing a person. This has been determined to be the case in some divorce cases, and of course an unknown of innocent people were unable to prove that they were framed.
Why block child porn but not leaked porn tapes of adults? Are they somehow less deprived?
"Why people in East Asian countries wear surgical masks in public (2014)" would seem to be a more accurate title.

As others say, in Japan specifically, it is a cultural-courtesy thing and is about not getting others sick rather than preventing yourself from getting sick.
Or use CloudFormation that is supported by AWS and the technology behind Elastic Beanstalk, CodeStar, SAM, etc....

For many children, my daughter in this case, it was an option, and was suggested. We didn't go that route but given both parents teeth and the dentist's assessment it would have been reasonable.

I think what your main concern is that such a drastic body modification should not be done in a flippant manner. I feel the same way about hormone therapy.
I oppose censorship when the government does it. However, I fully expect to be able to boot any content that displeases me off my own website. Which is what Facebook is trying to do.

This very discussion forum is moderated, and very well as far as I can see. Do you think it would somehow be better if the mods weren't here?
FWIW, I "honestly" get about 7-8 hours out of my MacBook Pro when doing light coding (small C/C++ project builds every five minutes, tweaking my website, writing some shell scripts), and 4-5 when doing "heavy" work such as iOS development. I can eke out 10 or more hours if I only read Mail and Hacker News :P

Yes, the "fixed" (multimap) version looks to have the Halloween Problem [1]. As this illustrates, const correctness is no substitute for understanding of iterator invalidation and data structure invariants in C++.

As another example, the original code could have been writted with a multiset< unique_ptr< Employee > > and a suitably modified comparator and not required any const casting to have the same undefined behavior as the original (you can access a mutable object through a const unique_ptr).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_Antitrust_Act_of_1890

"The Sherman Act broadly prohibits (1) anticompetitive agreements and (2) unilateral conduct that monopolizes or attempts to monopolize the relevant market."

For example, squashing competition by deleting your competitors search results might be interpreted as an attempt to monopolize the market.

In the context of providing a marketplace (i.e. the App Store), we aren't really looking at "private free speech" any more and so the first amendment does not apply here.

Realize that you're a little fish in the larger scheme of things AND realize that your sense of moral calculation might be obselete if it tries to evaluate things beyond your local ken.

The ability to discriminate is one facet of freedom.

Awful article in any sense.
One reason "white supremacists" end up congregating in the various chans is because they've been banished from everywhere else. In the US, the overton window has shrank dramatically in the last decade and it keeps on shrinking.

More to the point, it is my view that events many will see as extreme will keep on happening regardless of which way we choose to go. Today, we are not dealing with increased discussion and development of new ideas (printing press).
The feedback loops are getting short enough to give rise to cognitive metasystems. It follows that some blowback will occur. We are watching force projection/meatspace interaction from cognitively dissonant emergent hive minds. This is exactly what bottom-up reorganization looks like. Expect it to intensify.
Yup, switching from Chrome or Firefox to Safari is the number one thing I recommend to people to improve their battery life on Macs. The less Electron they can have as well, the better, but it's slightly less on an issue because it's not running JavaScript trying to sell you ads.

Other platforms that don't moderate already exist. Unfortunately, because they don't moderate, they are so awful most people won't use them.

No, it should be based on actual research and statistics. For example, many supposedly reasonable people assumed that violent computer games promote criminal/antisocial behaviour, but they actually don’t.

From the what I understand, the FAGGA basically expands your maxilla forward. Here's a good example [1] that shows the appliance in action. The photos showing the upper jaw after FAGGA insertion match my experience.

The ALF can be applied to both the maxilla and mandible (whereas the FAGGA, I believe, is just for the maxilla), but the growth it promotes is more gradual and subtle.

I don't think either appliance shares much in common with lingual braces, functionally speaking. I'm not a doctor, but from what I understand lingual braces act primarily on the individual teeth whereas the ALF and FAGGA act primarily on the jaw bones.

This reminded me of Purevolume.com, which I just went to go check. Seems like it's a clickbait pop culture article site now. It used to be Soundcloud before Soundcloud, though it was mostly popular with punk, hardcore, and their various offshoots. All of that uploaded music...just gone.

It's not necessarily sites going out of business/losing data either. On Bandcamp, Melora Creager used to have three songs up called The Willow Tree Tryptych. I bought it but it's no longer available for download in my account, though it's listed there. I'll have to pirate it somewhere since I don't seem to have a download of it. I'll have to figure out that later since Spotify atrophied my pirating knowledge.

Always archive your digital purchases when you can.
I think the situation is not that matrix.org is hostile to outside developers but that they are working on something new and rapidly changing and other implementations aren't able to keep up until the protocol changes slow down and the docs get better.

I'm surprised to hear people think there is some conflict between being subjective and being meritocratic.

By that standard there is no meritocratic way choose the best musician, actor, chef.

And maybe that's how some people use the word. But to me it just means that you choose people based on their work, not on who they are or who they know.

Whether you evaluate the work subjectively or objectively is a whole separate matter to me.
Have you checked recently? The mobile version has gone blue for me.
As you distilled it down, you seem to have forgotten about the data.

I don't think there's any practical reason why you couldn't have perfect data isolation in OOP (make everything private, only pass copies of objects around, build an event/dispatch system), this isn't what usually happens. As Joe Armstrong said: You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle.

That's why there's an emphasis on message passing, because it speaks directly to data ownership. OOP, not so much.
I’m a devout fairly knowledgeable AWS fan, but I couldn’t recommend using AWS to “save money” for hobby projects in almost any scenario outside of using Lambda that has a generous always free tier and DynomoDB with an always free tier or Aurora Serverless (Mysql/Postgres) that is really cheap for low use scenarios. Neither seems appropriate for what the poster wants.
