> I know this is a highly unpopular opinion (and hence the throwaway),

Using a throwaway account makes sense if you're sharing secrets or making yourself vulnerable. Creating one to share an unpopular opinion (presumably, to avoid the terrible risk of... having a few strangers downvote you on the internet?) makes you lose credibility.

> What exactly is it about the platform that makes it so "evil"? Do we just think Zuckerberg is innately corrupt and trying to slip some sort of mastermind plan of internet domination without us noticing?

Um... yes. Have you not noticed a pattern of bad behavior coming from them for the last, 15 years or so?

> Lastly, are we truly confident that hamstringing Facebook with a "break-up" is really going to lead to a better future?

Um... Yes. The root of this problem is a lack of integrity amplified by no accountability and monopolistic power. Break up the monopoly, and things will improve. We're not going to magically fix human nature overnight, but there will be room for competitors with a different vision will at least have a chance to gain traction. Right now they have no chance.
man this comment feels so helpless. Oh no! what if x happens?! The answer is you deal with it. Will it be rainbows and farts? probably not, but I assume these people want to abandon their home governments because they didn't like the way they were treated. What's wrong with autonomy?

I recalled the MAME thing and the idea of installing a modern PC platform in a retro arcade cabinet, i think and old borked atari cabinet with a harddrive dock in place of the rom port would be a cool looking place for a gaming[mame-ing] PC.
The downside to enforcing an order is the compiler cannot enforce an order so people absolutely will get it wrong and not notice until much later when the test breaks and they get really confused because the message is telling them the expected value is the actual value and vice versa.
A teacher in 1950 is not the same as a teacher in 2019. There were less teacher's then, the value was more. We will be saying the same for programmer's too. In 2019 a programmer made a lot of money, but in 2089 a programmer can't afford a roof over their head...

When i was in College, my wish when learning Math is that:

- Hey, wait! You don't tell me why we need to learn this concept

Yes, most of my lecturers use Math to teach Math. It's not useful to me, or i can't learn that way.

A wish is just a wish though.

To be fair, whilst I doubt their interpretation of international law is sound, I also don't think their unwillingness to be tried for capital offences against the Thai government by a Thai court says much either way of the value of their statement.

It's likely an artifact of the samurai fighting style which is quite different from conventional continental fighting as experienced by regular troops.
Function names and class names are also part of your API and there's no facility to allow those to be arbitrarily renamed. Being able to rename positional parameter names is a very weak argument in favor of this feature.

The only argument I'm even remotely sympathetic to is "If a function uses a name for a parameter, that precludes callers from using it as a keyword argument elsewhere in the argument list." But the workaround for that rare case is to use:

*args, **kwargs
Hm, I don't totally buy that argument. Deleting posts without Likes is a factor, but I think this is significantly outweighed by the number of people who obsessively check the app a hundred times a day to watch their increasing Likes count.

I once was indoors as a "training dummy" who got stuck on-rope rapelling and waited for someone to come up from the bottom to pick me off. My "tie in" point was a rack at my waist on the front. It takes a while to do this as it's not easy to climb past someone in single rope technique. I definitely felt my legs starting to go numb, even when I was kicking them around to keep blood flowing. I was hanging in space. That experience hit home to show the reality of harness hang syndrome.
The comment is vague, but I interpreted systemic racism as a function of slavery > failed reconstruction > black codes > sharecropping > 100-year effort to legislate the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments > Civil Rights Act of 1965 > manipulating property titles/deeds to circumvent legal protections around right to own property > mass incarceration... small points debatable, but clear historical and empirical through line since late 18th century.

George Lucas was inspired by samurai films. This film are called jidai seki (period films). From jidai --> jedi.

As a sibling said you can set it to have two-finger taps be right click.

On my older (smaller trackpad) MBP I thought that setting was dumb and I avoided it. On the newer (2018) I was having a hard time reaching all the way to the right, so I finally decided to give two-finger tap another try.

Years ago a developer friend told me that for any workflow change you should give it one week of total commitment, no switching back and forth, then decide if you want to stick with it.

For me that was more than enough time to learn to love the two-finger right click. As with most successful workflow switches, the one week evaluation deadline came and went without me noticing, and I never looked back.

I wouldn’t be so sure and I respectfully disagree. It’s a coping mechanism. If I tried to kill my self and failed, and then was asked why I did it, of course I would take the position of a martyr. It’s the mark of true evil.
>I'm saying the stupid thing here is that mechanics/owners have to trash the part and wait for a replacement when the fix is to apply locktite and assemble properly (assuming sensor is undamaged) which is something any mechanic can do.

I'm on a 2013 retina and wouldn't swap for the new ones even if somebody paid me to. It has regressed in a bunch of ways and the only thing I would get for that is a slightly faster CPU. Which doesn't really matter. If I had a significant workload, I would not put it on a laptop anyways.
Right. There’s still at the mercy of a land-based link. Perhaps today satellite would still be practical. Logistics like food and fuel could also be challenging if the U.K. tried to cut that off.
Maybe instead of quizzing obscure sort algorithms at interviews, they should have simple yes/no questions such as:

Should you store plaintext password on the server side?
This is not really strong evidence. A analysis from the 80s and a possibly buggy driver benchmark. You’re digging deep.

Look, tracing GC has come a long way. I’m not saying it’s unsuitable for servers at all. I’m just excited to see what sidestepping its problems entirely can do for server apps, especially with respect to tail latency and energy efficiency, increasingly salient metrics for services at scale.

The lack of emphasis of good input is absolutely maddening when people were buying macbooks with lousy specs for the price, low-res displays for the price, who absolutely loved the fantastic trackpad, adequete keyboard, and good build quality.

Now the devices are getting more fragile and the keyboards aren't even average they're junk. The touchbar is shit. Apple seems to be regressing to their form over function puck mouse days.

Meanwhile desktop consumers are realising how undervalued input has been for a long time and are buying $100 keyboards in great quantities.

You could use a theodolite. But remember that the ground is not flat. So you need to measure the vertical difference in height from the base of the tree to the theodolite. And you need to measure the horizontal distance, which would require other measurements in other locations. And you need a location where you can clearly see the top of the tree. This is all a bit complicated for someone without topographic surveying experience.

A tape measure is simple and easy to do accurately. And of course they will want to climb the tree anyway.
even if they want to emulate a user, they can do so without their password. Or if doing so in a simplistic way, they can login with said user's hashed password, instead of the original plaintext.
AFAIK, SQL engines will do a fairly reasonable full-text search, but if you need anything more, you have to upgrade to a full-featured search engine.
While I wish I could agree (and being from the demoscene, pushing hardware to the breaking point is just what we do), there comes a time when you really do need a new machine. Many iterations of home computers (VIC-20 to C64 to C128 and so on) were mostly including what was once an expansion card or device as a stock feature. enough iterations and you'll have something nowhere close to the original. Of course it's technically the same computer, but no average Joe could tell unless you pointed it out. Apple ][ evolved into the ][GS, which was so far away from the original computer it might as well been called something else entirely.

This iterative evolution continues to this day on PC with the existence of Bluetooth being on motherboards now instead of being a PCI card or USB dongle you would install.

And there is a great example of going too far in the console gaming space: the Sega MD at the end of its lifespan, with the 32X and CD modules, was a hulking beast with a tangled mess of cables and power cords.

I love making old hardware do new tricks, but I sure as hell wouldn't use it to watch YouTube or debug software on. Not even 'sceners do that.
I'm going to liken your question to a similar but slightly different example:
If I have diabetes, and I need insulin to be "healthy", can I ever truly be healthy?

You can swap that for any condition and any requirement of a substance, or even a requirement not to consume a substance. I personally feel like all your question does is invalidate the use of often needed medications, treatments, or other potentially stigmatized practices by people who need those things.

If I had depression, or anxiety, and someone was basically asking if I can ever be the same as others because I need medication, I think that would hit me incredibly hard. It doesn't feel like accepting or supportive language to me.
I think the other posters are implying it's not a step. The public is currently aware to how police abuse their power and walk free. The situation is like a fox guarding the hen house. The farmer being "justice" doesn't seem to care when the fox takes a hen whenever it happens.
[For a technical answer, it's interesting to read the comment by AnimalMuppet https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19700979 ]

What??? Every Physicist believes that the uncertainty principle apply to any object from galaxies to elementary particles. So if you try to not apply the uncertainly principle in a particle collision in the CERN, they will think that you are crazy. But if you try to add the uncertainty principle to the simulation of the movement of the objects in a galaxy, they will think that you are crazy too because the difference is very small and the calculations are much more complicated.

There are some application of the uncertainly principle to neutron stars, and IIRC to the background radiation. Nobody thinks that the uncertainly principle doesn't apply to big objects, it just that in most cases the difference is ridiculously small.

Perhaps the “mathematization” of the physical world is a leaking abstraction, perhaps no. We don't know. If you can prove that “we’ll never really know what the world is made up of” you will get a Nobel prize. But you will need a real proof, not handwaving.

Some of these libraries - like rayon - are so important, that I feel like they should be part of the default install at this point.

I mean, the crushing poverty is the result of the caste system and the accompanying wealth inequality. If it were just poverty, it might be possible to dig out.

The lowest castes are effectively slave laborers. They’re willing to travel to places like Dubai to sell themselves into actual slavery for a chance to send one of their kids to a good school. They’re not dumb or unaware of the world outside their impoverished lives, they just have no access to it themselves.
There is very little wealth accumulation happening in CIS countries post-collapse for the vast majority of people. The wealthy young are usually just children of wealthy adults, of whom there aren't many.

There was a marginal uptrend in happiness and prosperity in the 2004-2008 era, when oil prices were high (for countries that had oil production), but mostly, inequality has been skyrocketing and salaries have been flat for a decade now if not more.

Some countries have never really climbed out of poverty after the collapse of communism (Ukraine, Moldova, Tajikistan, etc.)

And yet there is an intermediate version. Which is that we can have an "observer" that is a moderately complex QM system where further post-observations are possible though difficult. And we can conduct experiments along that line and observe the growing difficulty of future interaction as systems get complex.

Unsurprisingly, these experiments with "partial collapse" produce exactly the predicted results of QM. And are exactly in line with, "And if the system gets more complicated still, collapse becomes irreversible." (Where "more complicated still" is very simple compared to ordinary macroscopic objects.)
>It allows you to create a public endpoint as a subdomain of mozilla-iot.org for easy off site access (https://github.com/mozilla-iot/wiki/wiki/Gateway-Remote-Acce...) which would allow some tracking I assume, but in general I have noticed no hidden data collection as your comment implies.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. It's not about keylogging your passwords or getting into your bank accounts. It's about the subtle metadata they'll be able to skim to start fingerprinting you for advertising profiles, and integrating into learning models.

I'm not familiar with Redisearch either but I agree, there's definitely a bent to this in that they made something that isn't ES, then compare it to ES via a a benchmark that shows how poorly ES performs at...being something other than ES.

The impression I got was that they were trying to demonstrate for two specific workloads, how much more a single node of RS can do than a single node of ES, and that we should extrapolate the savings and performance if scaled out from there.

A properly deployed ES cluster versus a single RS node isn't a fair comparison either. It's a strained comparison in any case.
