Wait, am I being unclear or are the downvotes from anti-vaxxers?

The anti-vaxxers send death threats to people who correct their erroneous claims. That's how you shut down reasoned discourse -- by having fervent zealots attack anyone who contradicts them.

Obviously attacking people who disagree with you is the opposite of them having free speech. It suppresses the speech of anyone not willing to be subject to the threats and allows the erroneous information to proliferate unchallenged.

So the problem isn't that the anti-vaxxers got to speak their piece, it's that they're caught up in a subculture that suppresses dissent. Then their subculture declares that two times two equals six and anybody who tries to show otherwise is attacked, which deprives them of reasoned debate as a method for correcting misconceptions, and so the misconceptions persist.

Not really, that's because Windows Server isn't that popular and if they want developers to remain on Windows and still use MS tech for their deployment they need some sort of Linux support.
Why is there constant advocacy to do away with anti-trust laws on this website?
For the example above, you could collapse to:

$('.this, .that, .thisotherthing').toggle();

Or if you're looking to throw in a conditional, toggle takes a boolean argument:

$('.this').toggle( foo === undefined );

Really it depends so much more on whether or not you're designing a single page app or have some interactive elements on an isolated webpage. Use the correct tool for the correct job.
You're right (my bad), they now use AWS. I imagine they're either using some other DDoS product or spun up something simple that does basic prevention, likely via CAPTCHA for suspect traffic.

ReCAPTCHA is basically the industry standard when it comes to CAPTCHAs, so whomever likely just went with that instinctively.

> How should a crawler know, if it may or may not take some random text from a website and display it somewhere else?

The recommendation I follow is to use robots.txt to disable crawling of specific pages or paths. If I really want information protected I either (a) put it behind authentication or (b) don't put it on a public website.

> How can it know, who to credit, or whether to credit someone at all?

Why does the content need credit at the search engine level? If the reader cares, the reader will navigate to the page and determine the author.

They probably meant liberalism. 'Liberalism' has multiple meanings. To my knowledge, the US is unique in equating 'liberal' with 'the left'.

Well it gets more complex when there’s more business rules. Like if you have 1 checkbox checked need to show this one bit but if you have 2 need to show all of them. It’s just an example.

Trying to scope it all gets a bit unruly too. Your example would target every element on the page. If you have nested components it’s a nightmare.
To be fair, Amazon has a way of eventually becoming a direct competitor of many of the companies they initially present themselves as a middle man for.
Sometimes you just have a single element to show/hide on an otherwise static or very simple page. It's satisfying to make that work in minutes with just a couple lines of code, which you can craft/tweak in your browser dev tools console if you like.
Elber Wants Hudson-Odoi Move as Allegri Opens Door to Chelsea
This is very unlikely because it seems to be something that happens in the official client rather than server-side. Spammers are unlikely to use official clients and blocking them there doesn't make any sense.

Having said that, if they were intentionally trying to block this then using their anti-spam mechanisms would be an obvious way of doing so, so I think it's definitely a possibility that this is some accidental side-effect of something else rather than a simple intentional block.

I understood the "semantics of shapes". What I struggled to understand, again, is how that doesn't apply to other domains as well. And I know I'm not a very bright person, but it shouldn't be something hard to explain succinctly.

From what I understand now, you argument is based on historical precedent: TLDs are different because they were treated differently (as general taxonomies, whereas domains of other levels were not) before the ICANN money-grab.

Fair enough. I don't find it convincing, but then again conservative arguments rarely appeal to me.

The examples in the site already look quite outdated. We now have `fetch()`, `.attachEvent` is all but dead, plus all the ES6 features like arrow functions, destructuring, spread... and reactive UI means you'll rarely, if ever, need to call DOM tree modifying methods yourself.

The best part, "Reactive UI" being a paradigm, you have many other options besides React+JSX, for example https://github.com/jorgebucaran/hyperapp. At a fraction of the size of jQuery, which one is the 'monster'?
> nothing stopping google from noting that my site could be preloaded

There's a whole host of security problems with trying to see if an arbitrary site can be preloaded. Logging, tracking, etc, not to mention more nefarious tricks like mining Bitcoin in the background.

Maybe Google could try to detect those things, but then you just end up in a cat and mouse game. A "safe" subset of html and js that can't do those bad things is much, much easier to analyze. One such subset is AMP.

> And? Nothing "needs" to replace the language, though

I think this is a really important thing about JVM langauges. They can exist successfully at much lower thresholds of popularity because they piggy back on Java. So I don't have to worry about Groovy dying off (which is not to say it is) - because basically as long as Java is around it is going to have access to a giant community of developers. So using Groovy or Clojure or Scala etc is a much lower risk proposition than jumping in the deep end with a stand alone language. In that sense, Groovy / Clojure / Scala / Kotlin don't really compete with each other or Java as much as help each other, and Java's popularity is really the sum of all of them.

To get the full picture you need to shift perspective and see humans more as resources. When a resource doesn’t produce enough anymore it gets replaced.
That’s an oversimplification. The Schwarzschild radius is where to find an uncharged & non-rotating black hole’s event horizon, and the event horizon is the surface at which newly generated photos (and all causal influences) can no longer escape.

The innermost stable circular orbit is further out than the event horizon, 3 times the Schwarzschild radius IIRC. Anything closer to that has an unstable orbit.

Two things that seem like they might be impediments:

Not disagreeing with you, just clarifying: I'm not even complaining so much about the Python 'development' community (i.e., those writing the interpreter and most of the people writing libraries); what irks me is the 'evangelists', Python users who feel the need to proselytize about things that are obviously not perfect, but claim they are and straight up dismiss any objections or real world concerns. I'm talking about the people who with a straight face call themselves 'Pythonistas'. Jebus, if so much of your self image and self worth is tied up in the programming language you like to use most, you need professional help. Of course all languages have people like this, and most 'communities' that are not software related have similar people too, it's just that posts like this seem to bring out this sort of hanger-ons. It probably also has something to do with me turning into Statler or Waldorf over time. Meh.

I still write applications where I don't need modern frameworks like Vue/React at all.

jQuery is not an alternative to React or Vue. It's an alternative to vanilla JS.

When you're writing something that doesn't obviously need everything a reactive app framework like React offers the question you need to be asking isn't "Do I need React or do I only need jQuery?", it's simply "Do I need jQuery?". These days, unless you need to support very old browsers, most of the time the jQuery code isn't that much simpler than writing plain old JS.
I am just having a similar problem at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Haken

There is no source that would prove that Armin Haken is his son, and so unfortunately Armin's work cannot be mentioned in the context of the article, as apparently somebody tried to do before me. (I actually read Armin's article that was mentioned on Wikipedia and then encountered Wolfgang Haken in a different context, and I was wondering if he is the same guy.)

So, the usability of Wikipedia is decreased (ironically, it can still be found in the history). I wish they took a more nuanced view on source reliability than just black and white.

Sure. But USA Today EU is not really a fair example. You can‘t really expect publishers to serve absolutely no ads and tracking at all. Unless you want them to die. There are initiatives like Apple News+ and Subscribe with Google but they are not mainstream yet. And individual subscriber options for news portals are way to cumbersome (and perceived as too expensive) for users.

I really like JQuery! It is just a library in which you call functions. It does not tell you how to write your code. It is not one of those frankenmonster frameworks that sucks you dry and tells you what to do.

I am not going to name what obnoxious framework it is about, but I am waiting for another year or two before they unceremoniously abandon that stuff and start hyping the next Messiah framework.

AMP is a terrible user experience though. Google Search on mobile is - pardon my language - fucked now. I hate it. I get trapped in the cache, getting to the actual source is pain, there's some stupid bar on top, websites are showing their own bars to signify that the user is not actually on the website. And I'm a techie, I know how this works! I imagine regular users must be utterly confused.

I think that there is an often overlooked product that solves this problem very well by it's very nature: Weekly newspapers.

Especially when you read them as paperback they take out all the haste. You can't "refresh" them. The style tends to be less lurid, because it is pointless to write an hot article with Tuesday's information if you print on Sunday. Topics are way more broad in my experience but still capture the Zeitgeist of current topics in whatever culture you live in (it has to be a good newspaper, of course). There is of course a certain desire to read everything, since you paid for it, but it's finite: It is not a permanent rat race to read all the news, when you're done, you're done.

Even if you don't use whatever paper you get to it's fullest, you will still realize: You do not actually become an "informed voter" by knowing the exact updated body count of some colorful tragedy on the other side of the world. Reading one well researched multi-perspective article with depth will do just fine!

Actually didn't know toggle took a boolean argument, cheers, I'll probably end up using that.

But it's not just that. You've got to account for stuff like updating classes on elements, updating text (e.g you might have a dropdown and when you change that dropdown it updates a summary bar), managing configuration of various components on a page (like options within a select dropdown, available dates in a date picker) etc. etc.

All becomes a lot easier using something like React/Vue and they even throw in dev tools to make it easier furthermore.
I didn't know they had a phrase for long working hours until I read this.

I have done 996 for a while in china, and it wrecks your social life, as now all of a sudden you have no free evenings and only one day in the weekend to balance fun stuff with weekly chores. Meeting friends outside of work is nearly impossible. Also, when near a release, expect to 'give your best' for the company and work on sunday as well.

You do however get 2-hour lunch breaks (i.e. nap time for your chinese colleagues), and about half a hour for dinner which you can also get at or near work.
JQuery is an alternative to React or Vue. JQuery is philosophically another approach to solving the same problem. JQuery offers you functions to call without telling you how to write your program. JQuery is a philosophy about respect, and about not knowing better, because you actually know that you don't.

I should add:

1. In the interior of the BH, the determinant of the metric is bounded since the Schwarzschild factors in the metric cancel out. So the volume measure doesn't do anything crazy as one gets closer to the singularity and boundedness of coordinates implies boundedness of the volume. Again, I'm disregarding the spacelike t coordinate because to me the relevant fact is that all matter reaches the singularity in finite proper time, so while we could theoretically stack lots of (actually, an infinite amount of) (massless) cubes inside a black hole, they would soon all get crushed.

2. Of course the situation is slightly different if we're talking about a growing black hole whose mass (and, therefore, radius) increases as we throw matter into it.
>While harrasement is deplorable and needs to be tackled, I think it is wrong to insinuate that it is a major cause for lack of participation by women in Wikipedia.

> Postgres's count(1) isn't slower than the one in any other DBMS.

count( * ) is faster on Postgres than count(1). But both are fundementally slow because of MVCC. And count( * ) on postgres (the optimized one on Postgres) is much slower than count(1) on other databases (the optimzed one on other databases). So practically speaking, counting rows is slower on Postgres than on other databases.

That said, I love Postgres. I use it every day. There is some room for improvement and it does improve all the time. It is an amazing open source project. And I wouldn't care at all if they never optimize count(1)
> For me as a developer this isn't so much of a problem. I take pride in my code up to a point (happy to admit I'm a bog-standard dev) but very much take pride in my documentation, always striving to make it as clear and useful as possible. I often come back to instructions I've written in years past and feel proud of the effort I made.

Do you have any links on how to improve documentation writing? I am starting to lead a team and my documentation skills are just not up to the level that I like.
Yeah, this sounds more like a starting point to general regeneration than just looking youthful:

(Since this is a problem I've had also.)

> I've tried changing the fifth case to 2 heads, 80 tracks and 72 sectors... But it resulted in an I/O Error.

This happens because the BIOS (int 13) CHS read function encodes the sector number as a 6-bit value. (IIRC it's also 1-indexed, just to add insult to injury.) If you change the geometry to 2head/80[+]track/60sector, it works on everything I had on hand for testing half a decade ago.

+: Or more; it should work with up to 1024 tracks.

Whilst I can understand and empathise with the possible good natured intent of the NYT article, if one looks at the stats (that they, themselves, referenced), the demographics for other languages are vastly different[0].

Also, "Simple English"[1] is vastly different from "English"[2] and stats referenced don't seem to list "English" but, rather, "Simple English"; so, referencing it is bordering on intentionally misrepresenting the statistics to favour your argument.

The stats also notate the following: "This cutoff is arbitrary for the sake of clearly visualizing the distribution across major Wikipedia languages." This, to me, would seem to be the most disconcerting aspect/notion of the stats, in question. Arbitrarily deciding what a "cut-off" point is will, surely, make the stats askewed.

...but if we're to proceed with taking the article at face-value, then we must also ask the question:

Why is there such a stark contrast between the languages in these stats? For example, Welsh (the second-highest stat) is almost at 50%.

Why would there be such a discrepency between the two languages (English versus Welsh), if they share nigh equal hardships? Does this actually come down to culture as a byproduct of language representation?

Research Essay Sample
It is not count() that is slow, it is iterating through the rows that is / can be slow :)

For me, the trick to basic understanding of perf in PG was exactly this: it is all about limiting the amount of rows you have to iterate over.
It is true for count() but also for every other operation you do.

PG is surprisingly non-magical (at least in my experience) in that you won't get much perf for free, but on the other hand you can reason about perf & optimize pretty reliably once you come to terms with this.
>> There’s obviously very little the govt can do to check or know

This is exactly why the government should not sponsor billion dollar projects. If they had a direct relationship between patients and medical providers and insurer and insured it would be much harder to create these sort of schemes.

Netherlands has interesting progress:

https://nltimes.nl/2016/09/14/netherlands-gives-insurers-acc...

"The idea is to help insurers lower the damage suffered by fraudulent claims, an amount of 11 million euros last year. According to Privacy Barometer, the vast majority of that damage can be attributed to fraud committed by healthcare providers or intermediaries. Patients themselves are only responsible for 1.4 million of the 11 million euros in health insurance fraud."
>Adjuncts aren’t university professors

I know what adjunct professors are, and you seem to forget that second part of the job title.

>The system spat them out.

Adjuncts are 3/4 of the said system. It's a very peculiar definition of "spitting out" that you seem to have.

>they played the academic tournament and they lost

When 3/4 of a system are "losers", we should call that system a pyramid scheme, and refer to those people as "exploited victims".

>No one is going to call them professors.

Their students will.

Although never mind. When academia is a "tournament" where instruction is done by the "losers", at least we should make it clear to the students that it is the case.

Something tells me "75% of your classes are taught by losers!" won't make for a nice marketing slogan though.
