Some of the child comments of your thread mention the nazi problem.
We built a system called „friendly fire“ that nukes a server every 10 minutes. It has changed the mindset of all engineers and made our infrastructure missile-proof.

Funnily enough it also improved our latencies a lot (which I guess is mostly due to memory leaks et al.)
You made me curious so I did some back-of-the-envelope math. An average of 576K hours of video is uploaded to YouTube every day [1], which is 4.032M hours per week. If the reviewers watch all the video at 1x speed and work 40 hours per week, you'd need about 100K reviewers to do the job. (This is just to watch the video -- not including any additional work done to annotate the video with whatever information you want out of your reviewers.) If each one costs $30K a year (probably a lowball estimate including salary, insurance, etc.) it would cost a total of $3B per year. YouTube makes $4B in revenue per year and roughly zero profit AFAICT, so there's no way this is feasible.

The computer is doing it invisibly so you're creating a huge and compounding information asymmetry. You think you're a good person so that's fine, but someone more ruthless than you will exploit it.
A strong middle class was also key to their military strength, because slaves don't make very good soldiers (with a few exceptions like the Mamluks or Janissaries, but that was a very unusual form of slavery).

This is like with talk therapy. You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped, whether they're unaware of their problems, or are aware but are in denial.

This list is more for people who do want to help themselves.
The notion that re-education camps are innocuous/a social good is pretty suspect. In the USA and Taiwan, former Chinese people (by nationality, not ethnicity!) say they were pretty terrible. In China, there's demented old people that say life was crazy back then and re-education camps really sucked. There's also non-demented old people who just say stuff like "life was tough back then but it's better now." But nobody has anything actually good to say about that system, more like it was good if you survived and thrived in spite of it.

Also, the uncritical assumption that China should be administering Kashgar! Just like the question of the USA administering little South American/Middle Eastern countries and Russia administering Ukraine.
Not So Spooky Action at a Distance
Spread sheet programs are functional languages. Luna looks to be a functional language, hence the similarity.

Spread sheet programs just have a bad rap of being used by non-programmers, and limited functionality outside of the spreadsheet universe. Ignoring the caveats mentioned, the principles of spreadsheet programming are programmatically sound. Spreadsheet programmers are functional programmers.
I think YouTube has just exposed the kind of content people were already interested in, and possibly consuming outside of the public eye. We find it frightening that people readily click on abhorrent content. When they probably were doing it over other platforms earlier. The internet had gore videos for the longest time. I remember a shotgun suicide video that kids in my school used to shock each other with. If Google as a private company chooses to ban content, than that is their right, but an apriori expectation that an entertainment platform should control peoples social behavior and enforce morality is harmful in a free society IMHO.
You're on HN and "What's the difference" is really your question?
1. Friendly private human interaction shared by two people.
2. Data is collected, sent, analyzed, sold, shared, distributed, stolen, and abused in order to maximize profit across expansive markets at the expense of any respect for the user's privacy. The user is tracked, distracted, and tricked into obeying algorithmic market forces of massive and opaque breadth. Every piece of data ever accrued is collected and stored in order to create an invasive profile of a user's movements, decisions, actions, and relationships, so that predictive programming can be implemented in attempts to guess the state of the user's mind prior to the user coming to these conclusions, or at least to convince the user that this is what the user wants. The end goal is technology that effectively usurps the user's free will, so that the user is completely reliant upon it for basic decision-making. The goal is to destroy free will. A society in which every individual action is known by governments and corporations is not a healthy society. It is an electronic prison.
I can definitely recognize in friends and family, the "deep end" of consumption. Hours upon hours on Facebook or YouTube, consumed entirely in the most mind-numbing scroll fests until they snap out of it and do something else. Hours are lost. But I also notice that they have all, on their own account, decided that it's an issue and then worked to stop it once they figured it out.

It's not clear to a new user that something as simple as a website could become addictive and begin to take huge amounts of time, concentration and patience away from you. Or even that it could be a bad thing. It seems to catch even disciplined people off guard. But I have noticed that they often self-regulate eventually anyway.

There does seem to be a certain desire to be productive in many people, and so I'm not particularly worried about an entire society totally consumed by social media/entertainment.

There is no persistent storage in humans - people forget things, and it is quite annoying to do this again and again for every new job.
GPL is an activist license. They have a worldview that they think is more right than others. It's of course not optimal for everyone. They think that closed source software is "morally wrong", and therefore "allowing closed and open source to exist side-by-side" is not really their goal.

As a user, I prefer GPL's activist stance, rather than MIT license's non-activist approach which essentially translates to an ethics of "might is right".

In the case of one .c file, there doesn't have to be an object file; you can go straight to executable "cc prog.c -o prog".

Python implements a caching scheme for .pyc files; maybe it's not a scripting language ...

If I were to venture an opinion on why C (in its usual implementations) is not a scripting language it would be:

- no interactive prompt (REPL).

- no reloading of code (other than clumsy, fragile, platform-specific shared lib mechanisms).

- no execution of "top level forms": a program's entry point is a specific function (main on hosted implementations). When, e.g., Lisp code is compiled, the effect of loading the compiled file is still the same as of the source file: the top-level forms (now in a compiled form) are executed one by one. (What's a "script"? A file with instructions to be run one by one.)

- no late binding; in fact, no program at all, unless all external references are satisfied. Scripting languages can run code that contains references to unknown global variables, or calls to unknown functions. These can be loaded late.

In early high school computer programming class (which officially was about programming in a particular language), our teacher didn't just teach that. The class put substantial time into things like history of programming (e.g., Ada Lovelace), and the thing I remember most was that we read and discussed Vonnegut's "Player Piano". In hindsight, that class was formative.

> freedom to me means not having to worry about my kids being shot at school, or having to carry a gun around to defend myself with.

There is no requirement to do either of those things, I don't do either myself but if I wanted to I'd be allowed to. That's freedom.

Obviously for the sensors to work they need to be exposed to air. We have a tutorial coming next week on how to make a low-cost enclosure for use outdoors - is that what you mean?
If I make a (A)GPL program, I can be certain that EVERY downstream user has access to the source code and the freedom to recompile, reuse, remix, etc.

That is not the case with MIT, where any developer downstream may choose to re-license as they see fit.

From a user's perspective, the rights are very, very different. When you choose a copyleft license, you are making a specific choice that downstream users should have their rights protected, even if that comes at the expense of the "freedom" of downstream developers--who are now prevented from doing anything which restricts user freedom.
YouTube's incentives are the best among such platforms IMO. They allow a simple profit sharing model where a part of the ad-revenue goes to the content creator. This is unlike instagram, for example, where the content creators have to peddle products in their ads to make money. Take a fitness channel for example - on YouTube, the content creator can just be honest, and the views alone will guarantee income. On the other hand, on instagram, they have to resort to selling snake oil. I love YouTube for this, and I am constantly amazed by how YouTube has become a livelihood earner for so many.

But that child comment didn't link Nazis to normal "video games". I assumed he just meant some folks (e.g. "1.8%" of web surfers) with the predilection for far-right videos would get more Nazi recommendations. Well yes, I would have expected the algorithm to feed more of what they seemed to like.

I do not see any Nazi far-right videos in 1.8% of my recommendations ever.
Weirdly coincidental timing on this! I've been working on a PCB design (FeatherWing form factor) to track weather data on my hikes, making use of a BME280 and a GPS module. First revision of the board[1], I discovered that the sensors started out accurate, then drifted up to a steady 3° above ambient. Probably because the GPS module was heating up. So last night I found myself reading up on design considerations for temperature sensors [2], including specific things like the cutout you have on the left side of this board.

I'm guessing you designed this — any advice as I embark on designing a second revision of my hiking log?

I'm an earlier millennial and while I'm doing alright personally, I think for those of us who graduated into the financial crisis, we were essentially sold a false bill of goods with college. We were promised stable professional jobs with which we could pay our debts.

I think the financial sector owes my cohort, especially the worst affected of us, some sort of reparations.
Arguably GPLv3 was a step in that direction
This is usually not a consideration and has not really been there for decades. What many forget is that people who are speciallists in the area thay are recruiting for are not necessarily the best candidates for the actually position.

Sometimes (many times) if you can get someone who is more of a generalist and is capable of diving in to gain the necessary skills is far more valuable. They are quite often the first to be discarded from the interview process.

Many of the psoitions I have participated in required handling new tasks that were not within the broad scope of what the position was expected to handle. Yet, having the attitude of "let us see what is needed", meant that I was bale to be functionally more effective in that position, including being the "go to" person for those who needed problems to be solved that their normal IT groups would not handle.

I have found too many "code guru's" to not be capable of thinking outside of the box whaen it is necessary. You don't have to be a "brilliant coder" but more of a person who can develop an understanding of the "problem space" of those having the problems that require solutions.
Argon Dashboard – Learn Flask by Coding
I don't see the point of this article, in it, she admits to being a pro-antifa person. Says positive things about antifa work that is done and lists a few instances in which she wrote about activist causes aligned with antifa. Putting her on a 'Antifa Journalists' list seems more than fair regardless of whether she literally masks up and goes marching. Whether people harass her because of being on the list is a different story, there is nothing intrinsically harassing about being on a list that identifies you as something you openly are.

Note: Antifa activists themselves create lists like this of right-wing individuals and their personal information all the time, as a keystone of antifa organizing activities. Why wouldn't they expect and understand that their enemies might attempt the same?
They have security cameras too. Correlate video with AP locations and you can probably figure out whos phone it. Tie that in with some facial recognition database and can really identify people.

Walmart has been adding cameras on high shrink isles that are almost eye level. At some point they might add even more cameras for "security" that are also used for eye tracking. Think of all the opportunities to optimize product and ad placement.

I'm kind of wondering if a "Ned Flanders" user-detector is possible.

Search for users who stop videos at "offensive" moments, then evaluate their habits. It wouldn't be foolproof, but the "Flanders rating" of a video might be a starting metric.

Before putting something on YouTube for kids, run it by Flanders users first. If Flanders users en masse watch it the whole way through, it's probably safe. If they stop it at random points, it may be safe (this is where manual filtering might be desirable, even if it is just to evaluate Flanders Users rather than the video). But if they stop videos at about the same time, that should be treated as a red flag.

Of course, people have contextual viewing habits that aren't captured (I hope). Most relevantly, they probably watch different things depending on who is in the room. This is likely the highest vector for false positives.

The big negative is showing people content they obviously don't want for the sake of collecting imperfect data.
Minus the browser. Each Electron app isn’t just the running web app but also the browser instance too. Where as a web app running in a browser wouldn’t consume its own browser instance.

That browser instance alone can make quite a noticeable difference.

I feel like things were mostly fine until the 2016 election, after which journalists became _very_ concerned. If I had a nickel for each, “The algorithms are coming! The algorithms are coming!”, I’d be rich. I mean, I didn’t like the outcome either, but these types of articles seem to motivated by a) finding a scapegoat and b) wanting to use “algorithm” in a sentence.

Great. Thank you!!
This seems good on the surface, but I can't imagine top tier talent at a FANG or equivalent ever leaving their job to do this.

I feel this filter will only leave behind those who are currently contractors that are interested in maybe going full time, and the unemployed/employed who are desperate enough to go along with such a scheme. Foregoing the typical crappy interview process is one thing, but working, even for money, without any certainty as the end outcome would certainly turn me off.

To be honest, this setup seems like something that would be hatched by a scummy company to constantly string you along with a carrot that will never come. I am not implying that you are that type, but there are enough horror stories out there that I would avoid ever getting myself put into that position.
In the real world, where your job as a software engineer is to translate business requirements into working systems, algorithms are of little value when solving problems can involve a combination of knowing how to ask the right questions, knowing the underlying architecture, knowing the industry/ecosystem well enough to know when to build versus when to find someone else to do the “undifferentiated heavy lifting”, etc.

But if in your own words “you studied for an interview”, it’s not exactly showing that you have a special skillset if all someone has to do is study for a month.

If you’re an experienced software engineer and companies aren’t beating down your door and you’re still randomly applying for jobs and jumping through the same hoops as someone just graduating from college - you’re doing it wrong.
Funny fact, this comment was upvoted to double digits during US day time then downvoted to 1 after East Asia day time.
i believe on iphones, the fake off-switch for bluetooth disconnects the devices you actually want connected (airpods, watch), while not being completely off for everything else, like beacons.

instead, it should only maintain bluetooth connections to devices already connected (or better yet, trusted), while being invisible to everything else. i know with bluetooth this is technically difficult, if not impossible, but that would be the more customer-friendly implementation.

Say I watch a video on a topic like "nes video game speed running". Right now I'd see other nes video game speed running videos, it's very useful. In a curated world, what would be recommended? It's probably too much of a niche topic to yield results that would be very useful.
This is what we've resigned ourselves to, but it's very expensive. We're building crud apps, not doing cutting edge research, so I assumed we would be able to find someone that is already up to speed on the language and frameworks. You also have to factor in the cost of senior developer time spent coaching, the lost productivity, and the code quality suffering in the meantime.
