Would it be possible for Reddit to treat political articles differently
Would it be possible for Reddit to have a seperate color based system in which a political article title is color-coded based on articles slant favoring either the democratic party-blue, republican party- red, 3rd party yellow. The elected moderation committee consisting of an equal amount of people representing each party eg 50 dem, 50 rep, 50 3rd party. These selected moderaters would have 3 choices to sleect the slant of the article: 1 republican 2 deomcratic 3 3rd party voting percetage would be shown above the comments section.

This system would only be used if the article reaches the first or second page of popular, news, and highly trafficked subs.

Same methodology could be applied to commenters that frequently comment on politically driven articles.
Agreed, once I saw the name, I knew the article was going to be of poor quality

That said, I am excited about the prospect of a new iPhone SE (with A12, preferably).

I just switched from an iPad Mini 2 to the current (5th) generation and the performance difference is staggering.
Crocodile tears and false modesty? You don't keep your plutocratic station long if you run around telling everyone you hate cheap education because it gives the proles dreadful ideas like "fair wages" and "rights". Nor that you plan to spend a bunch of money to fix the problem of these educated uppity proles.

"The new bytecode format uses approximately 50% less memory, which means a reduction of 10% in overall memory usage for JavaScript-heavy websites, such as Facebook or Reddit."

This is squarely to help webapps be faster and more memory efficient. This change is great, and doesn't align with the cargo cult of, "Make web pages great again."

My primary theater is a local nonprofit, running carefully curated art-house stuff, both new and old, with some popular classics putting butts in seats to help fund the more exotic fare. A couple of weeks ago, I got to see my two favorite Coen brothers films on big screen that way.

We also have an outstanding second-run within walking distance of our house - a 1950s-built theater that has been meticulously maintained and never cut up, so it has comfy seats, great sound, and a gigantic screen. It fills up in the evenings, mostly neighborhood people walking there, so it has a community feel.

There are other variations of "art house theater" in town too, all doing pretty well. They're not the ones suffering. It's the chain theaters at the mall that are suffering.

Sure, I live in hipster paradise (aka Minneapolis), but you can find similar facilities at many other cities.

I think that argument actually supports their point.

I believe that everyone has a human right to vote. However, retired people have generally already established themselves; therefore, the changes that government makes, particularly on social issues, has minimal effect on them. Therefore, I think its unfair for the generation who is still establishing themselves not to be held hostage to the previous generation's vision of society.
> Why not just ask for permissions for a single app specific folder?

Basically because Gmail A) doesn't have folders B) doesn't have permissions based on tags. Otherwise most Gmail API apps would have this option.

The same thing is a problem when you want to delegate access to an email account, where there should be a way to delegate access based on tags, but there just isn't.

What you can now do is create Gmail Add-Ons, which only have access to this specific thread that's open when you click to activate the add-on. E.g. this is how we created https://www.prettyfwd.com

Ha, that resonates with me. I use a chrome extension to block a bunch of stuff at work. Which I soon discovered had an easily accessible toggle switch for turning it off. So I hacked the source to remove it.

Then I discovered it didn't work in private mode until I found a setting to enable that too.

At the moment I have no trivial way of turning it off. Except browsing on my phone!
Depends where it hits. An ocean hit would wipe out coastal communities all around the ocean. A land hit would send up huge amounts of dust and plunge the world into a nuclear winter for some time. A hit in the right kind of coastal shelf could replicate the K-T impactor.

Tips for Aspiring Op-Ed Writers (2017)
Intel has their own compiler(s) but at least on the server side where everything is compiled using gcc or LLVM, both are optimized for both AMD and Intel. Was AMD behind a year ago in this regard? Yes. Even Windows just finally got more optimizations.

On the other hand, the benchmarks with AMD in the lead are obviously using compilers that 'exist' so really the compiler advantage Intel 'may' have is already taken into account. Additionally, the last few years of security issues has shaved off an additional 3% to 20% off of Intel's performance (compared to the 2-5% AMD lost).

The effect is that Intel has been loosing from both directions allowing AMD to be outpacing them in many ways.
I don't think this is really true of python, often the "correct" (pythonic, theoretically best performance) way to do something involves using more complicated language constructs than most people are familiar with. For example, when to use list/dict comprehensions, when to use reduce functions, when to use generators. Most beginner programmers and people coming from C-inspired languages will do things the "obvious" yet incorrect way by doing a for-loop of appends.
Common Lisp is small enough that one person could write a reasonably complete test suite for it in his spare time.
The design is "sound" ? It is ridiculous! Those engines are at each end of a wing. That is a 100% no no. They are feet from the ground, and would make one engine out operation impossible. Even someone with a cursory understanding of aerodynamic could see this is a ridiculous design.

Complaining on hacker news doesn't get stuff fixed bug reports preferably with specific info like specific software/hardware versions and sites on which the behavior occur do. In all likelihood

- 10% of laptops/desktops are mac

- 5-10% or less run firefox on mac. If firefox has more problems on mac I wouldn't be surprised if firefox had less marketshare on mac than overall.

-Some unknown percentage have major issues, lets call it 1% since lots of people report firefox works fine for them on mac.

You could be facing issues faced by only 0.05%-0.5% of firefox users. If people who face such issues overwhelmingly choose not to bother to report them then they will never be corrected.

Beta testing is unlikely to ever find all possible issues that will be uncovered when a product is exposed to millions of users.

Obvious bugs that effect everyone are quickly fixed. What's left is often less obvious issues that effect a smaller portion of the user base.

Ask HN: Domain specific language to implement a calculator
Recently I've been trying to compute some very simple stuff. For example, personal income tax, how much mortgage per month, etc.

This involves defining many variables, and simple conditionals.

Of course, one can write it in python, or in excel.
I wonder if there is already a domain specific language specifically designed for such a task.
My links were bad - fixed.
This is mostly as a reply to Eliezer Yudkowsky-

I've been in the rationalist community for quite a while, this is the first time I've noticed you here on HN. It is really funny to observe how much people want to argue against you when you condense your point down into a terse statement. Looking through your past comments, it is a very common pattern of behavior.

syn0byte- the man you are replying to is fairly well-connected. I would take the words he said as a credible anecdote- he hangs out with plutocrats enough to know what he said.
Possibly. I'm a bit discouraged that ref's are opaque and cannot be mapped to wasm memory but maybe I missed something.
Last I checked benchmarking tools are assembled by compilers instead of by hand so the supposed Intel advantage there is already baked into the results.
an article after my own heart!

one deregulation i'd heartily support is for the "smallest" urban zoning to be 4+1 by right. that would be a fourplex plus a detached granny flat, or accessory dwelling unit (ADU) as they're officially called.

that can quintuple density without changing the character of a neighborhood (as shown in this article).
There are a slew of problems.

For a very long time JSC did use an AST, and interpreting and executing an AST is expensive. The very first version of the byte code interpreter (all hail squirrelfish) was in the order of twice the speed of the AST, and the AST had been extensively micro-optimized at that point, to the extent that the dispatch cost itself (a single indirect call) was more than 10% of execution time.

There were also a bunch of correctness issues:

* Handling exceptions required manually check call results everywhere. There was an unending stream of minor correctness bugs caused by this. Looping semantics were similarly exciting. Because every call technically required those checks there was a significant cost there, even though there were numerous cases they were missed.

* Changes in language semantics required duplicate changes in many different places

* New language features require a lot of very similar behaviour, with minor variations that resulted in duplicated code, introducing new places to accidentally miss exception and loop checks.

* Memory overhead was massive, both in terms of actual usage, and also allocation costs.

* Significant reductions in maximum recursion depth. Back in the days of the AST interpreter JSC had a hard limit of 500 levels of recursion, with plenty of checks, and it would still periodically blow the system stack and crash.

The cost of producing the byte code in the first place is super low, and because the byte code is all essentially the most primitive of JS operations, new language features generally don't require the optimizing passes to be aware of any changes, because they're mostly just syntax around existing primitive operations.

Beijing has limited force projection options. Rolling in the military means inviting international sanctions and possibly military aid, if not for Hong Kong then almost certainly for Taiwan.

The protesters are rationally responding to a ham-fisted (yet weak) authoritarian move by Beijing. (The right move for Beijing is retreat. But that option went off the table when Xi installed himself as leader for life.)
But they all know where the volcano is.

Let's say a forecaster projected the impact location and area of mortal danger, and you found out your house is 100 feet outside of the projection. How confident would the forecaster need to be for you to be comfortable staying home for the event?
If this comes to pass, it will just serve to push cross-border collaboration underground into alternative, less public channels.

The worst impact of this could be on current open source hardware efforts, but on the other hand RISC-V may gain even more traction as Bunnie has pointed out here. We may end up with a real cyberpunk future where systems cobbled together out of grey and black market imports are the only way to get truly free/open hardware.

This is opposed to clojure.core/read-string which reads a string as executable clojure code.

Half the politicians will be telling people that the asteroid is nothing to worry about. That it's a wild goose chase cooked up by the other side, and that we should be spending our tax money on more important things.
There must be some wrinkle of copyright law that offers a (legal) defense against this sort of unrestrained mass surveillance. It's my cynical take that courts will be far more respectful of property rights than privacy rights/civil liberties.

Something akin to the laws that (on paper at least) forbids people from taking photos of the eiffel tower at night or commercial photos of mount rushmore.

I believe this is how things like 32lives [1] work.

32/64 bit bridges are really critical when you rely on abandonware, like in media production. I know the classic response is "don't use abandonware" but a lot of that stuff is the equivalent of vintage amplifiers/effects - it has a particular sound to it that doesn't have an equivalent.

I have an acquaintance who works from home.

He recently told me that every time he feels like he's losing his motivation and starts to fall into negativity, he goes to the kitchen and does the dishes.

He considers this time to be part of his work day.

By the time he has washed the dishes, the sense of accomplishment is back.

What I take from this anecdote is that the brain does not distinguish that washing something is not part of building a web application. It is simply content to have cleaned multiple objects and then have completed a complex task.
Breaking up the asteroid means more of the mass burns up in the atmosphere thanks to increased surface area.

The real tricky part is delivering the energy to the asteroid in a way that causes it to actually break up. The nuke needs to be drilled down below the surface of the asteroid so it doesn't just heat up the surface, potentially fusing it into a more solid chunk.

Of course the actual effects are hard to predict. Maybe we should be flying around right now blowing up random asteroids? First job for Trump's Space Force?
fascinating stuff:

Mr Blastland’s opening example is the marmorkrebs, a kind of crayfish that reproduces parthenogenetically — that is, marmorkrebs lay eggs without mating and those eggs develop into clones of their mothers.

Blastland is a very passionate speaker too. RSA talk on the subject:

Why banks specifically? Doesn't every private company with multiple shareholders have the same problem? Or is the legal situation for a bank different?
gerrit is great because rather than invent their own code review process, they've basically implemented a gui for the same underlying process that you'd use in the command-line (git-format-patch, email, and inline comments). this means you don't have to use gerrit to participate in gerrit-based code reviews. because of this, i would imagine that it is very friendly to accessibility tools for programmers.

You bring up a very good point about the time value of money and how that could be manifested by reducing working hours.

When we say that we want to provide a UBI to all citizens, that could be looked at as an equivalent number of hours. Giving someone making $10/hr a $10,000 UBI would be the equivalent of 1000 hours freed of a 2000 hour work year. It would increase their quality of life by 50%. A $50/hr worker would get a 10% quality of life increase on a $10,000 UBI.

So for example reducing work hours by 1 hour per day on tech workers would be comparable to a $5-10,000 UBI. Which I think is what we're really talking about here. Providing alternative subsistence so that workers can someday get off the workaday world treadmill/rat race and go invent the things that will automate our economy and improve quality of life for everyone, regardless of income. Right now we have a system where some people live extremely comfortably while half the country has no economic stability or quality of life to speak of, and what's worse is, they currently have no hope for improvement no matter how high the gross national product (GNP) grows because politics has been coopted by lobbyists and special interests.

For a small set of other color-related videos, have a look at two from Tom Scott:

• "The Library of Rare Colors": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rApTzWboLrA

• "I Can't Show You How Pink This Pink Is": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NzVmtbPOrM

The latter video makes me wonder: Is there a good way of finding out if a monitor, or even an entire color space, can contain this color? This may be a pigment where you really can't tell exactly what it looks like on-screen, because either the screen cannot display the color or the color space being used can not encode the color (or because the camera sensor can't properly capture the color).
