The problem here is not real Nazis.

It’s that leftists are increasingly categorising reasonable discourse and arguments they don’t agree with as “extremist right wing propaganda” (or just Nazis), and based on that get accounts defunded or banned.

The left is widening their already rampant use of censorship.

Allowing one side to dictate what the other is allowed to say is generally not good for a democracy.

Python is a language fundamentally similar to Ruby, that has no static type checking, that's used in similar application domains, etc.... It does not have as strong a culture of unit testing as Ruby, and falls above the line (by a statistically insignificant amount) in figure 5 while Ruby is below (by a statistically significant amount).

It does not appear that the paper took automated testing into account at all. Whether greater use of automated testing in Ruby is responsible for the lower defect rate observed here relative to Python would definitely be an interesting topic for another paper.

Clojure is also dynamically typed by default and below the line. It does not have Ruby's strong unit testing culture, but it does have a design that encourages functional programming, which proponents argue reduces sources of error. It also has a culture of REPL-driven development that arguably fills some of the role of automated testing.
> Firstly a Contract is a Meeting of Minds

Re: this, I'm still fascinated how a contract that both parties are not aware of the existence of is even allowed to be treated as a contract in the first place. In many cases like local software, when you accept the T&C, the other party has no idea this happened in the first place, so they can't even claim to have a contract with you. That you can have a contract with "informed" consent from a party from a party (and interestingly this is regarding the other party, not you the consumer) that has no information about the contract's existence just blows my mind.
I assume it's taking stack traces/ core dumps from stripped binaries and adding back the symbols.
I don't understand Peloton because there are smart-trainers available (Wahoo Kickr, etc).

$1000 bike.
$1000 trainer.
$15/month for Zwift or TrainerRoad.

And you can take the bike outside when the weather is nice.

Or, for a bike enthusiast (or anybody who already owns a bike), the bike is already there. So, it's just the trainer.

not parent either, but your still comparing a single socket of his system with a 8 core ryzen. The latter is nearly double the single thread perf, but the former has 3x the total cores when both sockets are active. Worse the benchmark is likely tilted towards newer AVX workloads/instruction sets that the older cores don't have. So for boring old integer workloads that are easily parallelized (say compiling code) its likely that xeon is at least 30% faster. Possibly more.

I'm in the same boat, I have a 12 core/64GB xeon machine I picked up 4 years ago for $200 (130W compiling). Along the way I put 4 256G SSDs on the RAID5 controller. It likely gets totally thumped by the latest 12 core ryzens, but OTOH, my compile times are ~2 minutes for a fully clean build, on that machine. A similarly spec'ed thread ripper at work only pulls that down to 90 seconds or so. Logically I can't really justify the ~$1800 the new machine is going to cost by the time I get a raided SSD, MB and 64GB ram. I might do it anyway, but its definitely not logical.
Is the way this piece presents, e.g., "D-Day -21" and "D-Day +2" historically accurate? I had always thought it was D-21 and D+2, explaining D-Day as being the D±0.
Businesses made a killing, yes, short and mid term. Long term it’s looking bad, unless there’s change in that relationship. For workers it was a loss. Be they Democrats or Republicans, black or white.

Democrats up until the 80s were on the side of the workers, so these were traditionally democratic constituencies, but the Dems and Repubs earlier, sold them out to big business and the promise of globalization.

To call them rightists is short sighted. If these were Brazilians in Brazil or Mexicans in Mexico being sold out en masse, they too would have voted for someone who would take up their cause because the traditional parties had long ago abandoned them except for some pro forma pandering (we like unions, we stand behind unions, etc.)

Right now only likes of Trump and Sanders have the desire to actually do things for them, albeit perhaps very differently.

I'd recommend starting by looking at the literature of the area you want to publish in. Familiarise yourself with the main journals, and try to get a feel for the customs of the field.

Almost all publications provide guidelines for authors, and most editors will be happy to answer questions on the submission criteria.

Speaking as a reviewer: the most important things, above everything else, are always (1) the quality of the science, and (2) the clarity of the presentation. If you get those right, you will have little problem publishing.

Dictatorships, like it or not, are common in our world. So I agree, it's tough to objectively call it messed up. There are, however, patterns in dictatorships' behaviors. Common incentive structures priorities their mortal leader's interests over the immortal country's.

Before China was a dictatorship, it didn't make sense to treat it like one. One's strategy, however, must adapt when the board changes.
Allocating Memory with the D Programming Language – Walter Bright
Age control isn't a legal requirement for websites that host porn in the USA as far as I know. Google, for example, will return porn in image search results (if you disable the safe search filter), and you don't have to verify your age first to do that.
If ad-blocking really takes off I expect this to become the norm. It is technically more complicated than just adding adding an adwords element to a web page or something like that, but I do think it'd be considerably more resilient to ad-blocking.

I once had the idea of delivering ads by dynamically injecting them into a video stream. As in, when you load a youtube video it prepends the ad into the same video stream as the main content. Ideally the transition from ad to main content is between key frames so that the ad-blocking software can't fully strip out the ad without screwing with the stream itself.

If people are banned from the places where a substantial portion of the public political debate occurs, e.g. YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, their ability to participate in the public political debate is substantially reduced.

People advocate for their interests peacefully by participating in the public political debate.

If their ability to participate in the public political debate is substantially reduced, then their attempts to peacefully advocate for their interests are a waste of their time.

You're literally just still publishing an opinion to someone's virtual press. There's no reason they must publish your writing either.

Building Strong Cybersecurity in the EU: Resilience, Deterence, Defence
I wonder if this lack of significant link is because number_of_bugs = time_spent_programming / time_fixing_bugs

So choice of language does affect the number of potential bugs. But this ratio of effort a programmer gives to bugs vs features is almost completely independent. Actual bugs making it past the programmer depend on how much effort the programmer cares to expend

So a safer language doesn't reduce bugs. It's like farmers with back pain from driving tractors. Giving them comfier rides doesn't reduce their pain; it just means they drive faster upto the same pain limit

If this is true, then bugs can be reduced by making bugs more painful for the programmer

But also a safer language will let the programmer drive at a higher speed, releasing a greater percentage of safe code (even if the total number of bugs is the same)
Go for it. You will not regret it... I still have mine powered on and sits on my desk with an external plugged in. I suggest doing the FullHD mode if you're decent with a soldering iron. Here is a great resource for x220s. Enjoy!

Correct me if I am wrong, but you are purchasing items which you know to be knockoffs because they are cheap.

Wow! Great minds...
Peloton's business model is breathtakingly good, but I wonder about the size of their TAM and their ability to have sustained, multiplicative growth in the future.

First, the business model. They sell you a $2000+ bike, which includes a year of live classes with some of the best spin instructors in the world. Afterwards, you pay for a $40/month subscription in perpetuity to make your $2000 investment more than a boring (although very high quality) stationary bike. Whether you're hooked on the (excellent) service or not, if you're the kind of person who's willing to drop $2000 on a bike, you're very, very likely to be the kind of person who's willing to pay just $40/month to make sure your bike retains its value (i.e., access to live classes), even if you're not using it that much. Doesn't hurt that in-person spin classes regularly cost $30-40 for a single class.

I imagine Peloton's subscription churn is extremely low. This is excellent, and I'm jealous.

But, growth.

How big is the market of people who are willing to spend $2000 on and have space for an indoor bike? What happens when Peloton captures nearly all the market? What happens when a lower-priced version of Peloton comes in and eats their lunch at the "bottom end" (so to speak) of it?

Once you've effectively exhausted the market for selling new bikes (when new customer acquisition slows), you've got three options: find a new market, sell new things to your existing customers, or charge them more for the same things.

Peloton's already doing the first two. They're trying to show investors that they can cross-sell and/or establish new markets: they sell a $4000 treadmill. (My theory about the treadmill is that nearly 100% of its purpose is to show the market that cross-sell is possible — I have doubts about whether they're selling). I have extreme doubts about the viability of this. I mean, how many workout machines are you going to put in your house? Rough estimate: this segment is no more than 10% of Peloton's existing customer base.

In addition to all this, they could (obviously) also raise prices, but at $50-60/month for the subscription, you start to put those great churn numbers at risk.

Either way, really interested to see what they do.
That's hardly a moral distinction at all.

The supernatural is unfalsifiable. I cannot prove that the supernatural does not exist, in the same way you cannot prove there is not a teapot orbiting the sun.

On the one hand you demand pure scientific evidence for evolution to explain EVERYTHING, but on the other you say that the supernatural has been ignored, without giving any scientific evidence whatsoever to back it up.

I apologise for calling you a "creationist", as it seems you took that as a pejorative term.

It seems to me you're suggesting that there is some combination of evolution and the supernatural that can be a perfect model for explaining the world, but you're going to have to give some falsifiable theories on the supernatural for that.

It's important for doctors to know your medical history, that's obviously true.

Do you know how trans people on HRT respond to Ambien, as your first link brings up? I sure don't. Depends on why the drug works differently.

If you're scared that you'll die because your doctor thinks you're cis, tell them you're trans.

That doesn't mean you have to tell your doctor "I'm really a man, despite being a trans woman, and it's definitely important for you to store an M in your records because you might suddenly forget that I'm trans and also I'm sure my reaction to medicine is the same as a cis man's."

Just be an adult and talk with your doctor honestly.

The difference is the focus, the one is focused on developers (and businesses) the other one on users. Which to me makes a huge difference to where the licenses used evolve, like we see in this article.
There definitely is an effect to white-labeling and brand confidence.

Interesting question. Of course, being of sound mind, I don't consider pornography to be the same thing as political speech, and don't really seem to have any issue drawing a line between the two. It should certainly be just as easy to NOT see either thing, if you don't want to; but presently it's much harder to get a platform for the speech than it is for the porn. Funny, that.

Sure, but you are not actually contradicting me as far as I can see.

I too collaborate with colleagues in different time zones but design and tons of brain-storming is not the main focus of our work. When we need to do that, we do long video calls with shared diagrams -- or we just scribble with the mouse. Works quite alright 99% of the time.

The Startup Failure Myth
I'm glad there's finally a reasonable framework that isn't on Nightly. That was the biggest "Yeah I'll just wait" moment for me with respect to Rust and web stuff.
As others mention there's alternative approaches. For someone with a physics background thoughm it's very natural to think of matrix - or rather tensor, i.e. more than two indices - operations with indices - it's how we work in (general) relativity and some condensed matter physics.
So while obscurity depends on your background, it is sometimes a bit finicky - I can't count the number of times I switched indices around or wrote an 'i' instead of a 'j' but that's something that I deal with with testing (mostly property-tests in physics).

It's not optimal, but it's the best I know and named-indices would have their drawbacks too.

DC resident and cyclist. I ride year-round, but in winter I do scheduled indoor group sessions (currently, on Wahoo Kickrs) as the ground tends to be too squishy with the freeze/thaw for the mountain bike (which I prefer to the road bike).

I also own a Kickr at home. My spare mountain bike is mounted on it year-round. Through summer, I do the 30-minute workout program on TrainerRoad (rainy days or when I work late, but I try to do most riding outside).

My issue with Peloton isn't the money. As noted, like many cyclists, I have several expensive bikes. It's the lack of specificity for actual cycling. And the subscription is just ridiculous, when Zwift and TrainerRoad are $15/month for similar software.
This doesn't sound right. The PSP is an ARM core, but the firmware running on it is likely mostly written by AMD. Also, license agreements can be negotiated.

If that was their intention it was poorly achieved given that most users can switch to alternatives such as Firefox or Safari with close to no downside. Chrome has very close to zero lock-in.

I'm just an outsider but I do think Google's intentions with Chrome were of course self-serving, but overlapping user interests: They knew they are dependant on the web, so they worked to make a browser that made the web experience better, faster, stronger, etc. Blocking the most aggressive exploitations while trying to make the outcome one where their business could survive and still grow.

Most knew there would come a day when they would start to turn the screws, though (in the same way that Microsoft apologists would talk about that company only using patents defensively...until they started suing everyone), and that day has come. Ah well, to Firefox we all go.
