>I'm going to assume you're no engineer.

I'm pretty sure what you're trying to get across is that Engineering is the business of enabling the taking of calculated risks, but you're doing it in a needlessly inflammatory way.

And the poster you're responding to isn't necessarily wrong either. Just because engineering allows us to identify, analyze, and calculate the impact of risks does not free us of an obligation to always favor the most conservative approach in living up to the obligation to comport ourselves in a manner consistent with serving the Public interest.

Remember the Iron Ring in all things.
What's the problem with this? redialing essentially converts the FIFO/LIFO queue to a random queue, which isn't particularly worse.

Ultimately, the utility of "lower 50%ile" vs "lower 99.9%ile" is a subjective choice.

The value in LIFO is the observation that real people would rather their 10-minute request fail and require a retry due to LIFO (since they are already disatisfied with the original service*) than their 1second request take 1 minute due to FIFO.
Funny you should mention this. This was one of the other things that really drew my attention towards the whole climate situation many years back. I was in a techie forum somewhere when the subject of climate came up, and one of the folks there mentioned that he was something of a data hoarder (which is a real thing, I guess). And he said that he had copies of historical temperature data downloaded from various years, and that he had noticed the numbers sometimes magically changing from year to year. He said that it appeared to him that the data sets were being tampered with. And most everybody else there (not me) jumped all over him, calling him a liar and saying that reputable scientists would never do such a thing! Except, of course, that's exactly what they've been doing.
I think there's still room for compiling aggregate salary data. I'm from levels.fyi and we get emails all the time about how folks were able to negotiate higher based on our data. We're entirely crowdsourced which admittingly can lead to accuracy issues occasionally. So far, feedback from both companies and users has been that are numbers are quite accurate. I think one of the most important features we recently released has been the Salary band pages which show the full spectrum of compensation at a particular level: https://www.levels.fyi/salary/Facebook/SE/E3/

I acknowledge we're not perfect, but would love feedback to help us improve. Majority of the site has been built based on feedback we've collected.
When I first started with RL I went through David Silver's course. I still think it's my favorite set of materials aside from "Artificial Intelligence: A modern approach by Russell and Norvig" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbWDNovNB5mqFBgq7i3MY...
Not knowing how to map a digital identity to a meatspace identity is really not anonymity. It’s pseudonymity.

And pseudonymity is good! We should allow for lots more of it.

But anonymity is a different thing. It’s not clear to me that anonymity is worth trying to achieve, anymore; instead we should be fighting for judicial oversight of when pseudonymity can be pierced, combined with dramatically less anonymity for the misdeeds of the powerful.
Where are these "entire threads in TD calling for violent intervention in Oregon"? All I've seen cited here are isolated comments with a handful of points.

So I spent a few minutes yesterday reading part way down the comments on a single post in r/politics and found similar comments advocating violent resistance to the government.

If someone were as motivated as Media Matters I'm sure they could find much, much more. If you doubt that I encourage you to investigate a bit yourself.
This is only the beginning of a question.

It's not obvious how the responsibility for those deaths should be allocated.

What's the tolerance threshold for airline fatalities?
I agree. I get the sense that a lot of these old text munging tools are seriously fast, and are mostly IO-bound. It would surprise me if moving chunks of text back and forth to a GPU would be very efficient.

Yeah, well having a drone flying at 200 meters from the target while aiming what must be a heavy laser is not exactly a piece of cake either.
I am not sure what slide you think I am referring to. Just not to confuse people here is a transcription of the slide that I am referring to:

It is a flow chart btw.

What's wrong with degrading from LIFO to a random queue due to client retry, when you're starting from a FIFO that is already failing client expectations?
Typically ads are not in iframes, they are loaded by Javascript from the ad network and can do whatever they want.
Imagine being a lone nerd before the Internet and not only being filled with self-doubt, there was no social network to assure you that "your people" were even actually out there.

My graduating class was 180 people (very cliquey, I had very few friends). Myself (and notably, a woman who is now a doctor) were the ONLY TWO people to take programming classes at my high school (late 80's) (it was Turbo Pascal on the earliest PS/2, for anyone who remembers). My exuberant cries of "THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!" when I first used modems and BBS's, fell on deaf ears. It was a very lonely time to be a tech nerd... and yet... witnessing everything that has happened firsthand has been absolutely amazing.

I gotta be honest, though... looking back, it was quite terrifying to be in that position. If ANY powers-that-be had dropped ANY hint of "Just. You. WAIT!" into my life at the time, it would have assuaged my insecurities tremendously.

Here I am on a Commodore 64 circa 1985 (?) during a summer program: https://i.imgur.com/dTCqbYe.jpg I believe I was coding sprites to make a very basic game at the time. Karateka had recently come out and it was inspiring!
Do the people in that second group consider themselves happy and fortunate?

In some poor areas people have particularly strong social ties - in part because they haven't moved to the area. That can have real value.
This is an incredibly exciting, and brave decision. Companies should be beholden to their workers' consciences—after all, we are colluding in everything the executives decide. For Wayfair CEO Niraj Shah to ask for workers' silent collusion in the facilitation of border atrocities is unacceptable.

We are all complicit in our vendors' and customers' impact on the world. The dependency chain stretches from JavaScript to imperialist torture, and genocide.

I'm proud to share an industry with these brave Wayfair workers, who are standing against tyranny in ways most in this forum cannot fathom.
> Unlike in print or broadcast media, where advertisers and agencies that represent them can submit ads directly to publishers for review, online ad space is typically bought and sold through complex systems of intermediaries and exchanges.

Yes, outsourcing the control of content that appears on your site will likely result in quality problems.

I'm aware that such practices can benefit small business with ad revenue, but if the "top-tier" wants to avoid the problem, they have the resources to self manage it. Provided they are willing to invest in producing quality content AND relevant, legitimate advertising.

The job loss and displacement due to improvements and automation are quite scary to me. I often find myself thinking about what people will be left to do after automation displaces most workforce and the leftover jobs get so efficient that 1 person will do the job of 10.

Look at where web development was not that long ago. It used to take a few people and many moving pieces to put together a website. You needed a designer to design it. A developer to code it. A hosting company to host it. A maintenance person to keep updating and make changes. Now, anyone can fire up a webflow site in under a day. No coding needed, no hosting, do your own maintenance.

Now this is only efficiency we are talking about. What happens when we get to a place where you just pick some parameters and any website imaginable is spot out on your screen for you? Imagine how many websites exist already, what’s to stop that data from flowing into a large dataset where design is no longer needed, code is unnecessary, updates are done through a cms. Algorithms already draw art, ok, let’s modify them to make illustrations, logos, anything creative. We just displaced 2 professions. Why stop there? Feed the machines every imaginable font and let it create new fonts for us. Font designer gone.

This is only the industry I’m aware of. I can imagine others are no less prone to automation and complete efficiency disruption.

What will people do when to get a basic job requires 20 years of education? Are we to believe all humans will have advanced degrees to do those jobs? What about those who simply can’t or won’t like doing that job?
Thanks for that, they were awful. The alien chatter from Marathon is up there too and hearing that close by was terrifying. The rocket launcher noise offset it a bit.
More recently, the Half-Life face suckers were pretty bad.
Of course, we agree there. Re: your final sentence, what I'm actually saying here is that this version of "kindness" may be actively harming some people in the long run. But because humans are generally bad at long-term thinking, we follow our instincts (i.e. "make this person feel immediately better any way possible in this immediate moment"). So, "kindness" isn't necessarily kind in these situations. Your desire to help is betrayed by your mind. Your actions are harmful. Think about that.

In fact had Apple not chosen to go with OpenGL ES on iPhone back when they released it, OpenGL would be pretty meaningless nowadays.

The few people buying NeXTSTEP computers for graphics programming were doing it due to Renderman, not OpenGL.
What makes you think the trend will reverse or that this is part of a cycle?

Small phones were popular when all they could do was make calls and even texting was sort of cumbersome and rare. Of course you'd want that sort of single use device to be as small as possible.

I fail to see how YouTube, Fornite, and Instagram users (to name a few) will want a smaller screen.

I also think the market has settled on rather standard phone body sizes that have not changed significantly since 2014 or so.
There are over 5 different groups that have done temperature reconstructions, including a climate skeptic funded by the Koch brothers. (Berkeley Earth) They all get the same trend. You would be suggesting that all of these groups, including the Koch brother's funded one, are all making the same fraudulent adjustments. That seems unlikely. This would included three groups from the USA (Nasa, NOAA, Berkely), one from the UK, one from Japan, and possibly others.

As well, the fraudulent activity would be going on with satellite based reconstruction, deep sea temperature measurements, ice extent and mass measurements, all being done by other groups in various ways.

If you really feel that this is what is going on, it is possible to do your own reconstruction from raw data. The raw data, unadjusted, is freely available. If you pick a time frame to look at, where you have a few hundred stations randomly distributed around the globe, that are not changing during that time period, then you don't have to do any adjustments to the data at all. I've done this before, pulling raw data into MySql and analyzing it. You get limited to smaller chunks of time, but I got the same trends all of the professional groups got in that time period. This was something I did years ago, to try to cut through all of the rhetoric that one can read on the internet.
Smart jerks are the worst. I work with a few of them and they can really be insufferable.

They interrupt every conversation (IRL or through Rocketchat) because they know absolutely everything about the subject you happend to be talking about. I have started to use the AKSHUALLY meme image in retaliation from time to time.

But what gets me the most is their self-importance. The bragging about the import people they have met, or the presentations they are asked to do. It gets really old really quick.
Password Fatigue
You can view your reCaptcha V3 score here:
https://recaptcha-demo.appspot.com/recaptcha-v3-request-scor...

I get .7 on my iPhone, I’m guessing that my liberal use of Firefox containers and the cookie auto-delete extension on my desktop will give me a much lower score and cause me to have to jump through extra hoops at websites that implement it, just like the reCaptcha V2 does.

Edit: I also got 0.7 on Firefox with strict content blocking (which is supposed to block fingerprinters), uBlock Origin, and Cookie AutoDelete. I get 0.9 from a container which is logged into Google.
I've already done my own climate reconstruction myself, have you?

I don't think you are thinking clearly about this.
> Apparently the smaller-handed have given up on single-handed use several phone generations ago, so they have nothing to lose from even bigger phones.

Yes, we do - RSI issues on the medical front and at some point you also simply exceed pocket size. For some of my jeans, a current generation Google Pixel barely fits into the pockets without sticking out at the top.

For me the ideal phone would be an iPhone SE running Android. There must be a market for this sort of thing and it doesn't make any sense to me that no company is even trying to play in it.
This is a flaw of the fundamental nature of the service. If it were a clientside application, keeping track of your entire viewing history forever would be trivial. But because it's on a remote server, keeping everyones history forever would be very difficult. I would guess they're probably using a bloom filter and just not dedicating enough resources to it per-user. Or, maybe even more likely, they ran 1 experiment 1 time on a few users and discovered that re-watching previously watched content was popular and extrapolated from that - ignoring that their sample size included a great many children (since they outnumber adults) resulting in them just expecting everyone to act like children.
no proof=your comment might as well not exist
I would say that habits are everything, and in some cases, I believe even extreme disorders like schizophrenia can sometimes be caused by bad neurocognitive habits degenerating unchecked.

You're doing the right thing by not making a big deal out of it or making them feel different, but as your son gets older and more able to have these kinds of conversations, it's worth opening a dialogue with them about finding ways to form new habits that break the old ones.

Many of my tics only went away after much effort, and growing up I felt like I had no one to talk to about them. My family didn't understand and I didn't have good experiences opening up to other children about them because they also either thought it was an attention thing or that something was really wrong with me.

At some point your son is going to become stressed by his seeming inability to control his own body and he will want to have positive dialogue about it. He may not have the courage to initiate the conversation though or he may be worried you won't understand. I wouldn't approach it with a bag of tricks but rather learn together with your son and encourage them to pursue better habits when apt. I know for me, accepting my disorders as purely physical and maintaining the belief that I could overcome them mentally was instrumental in my healing.

Good luck! I'm sure one way or another he'll figure it out as long as he is surrounded by positivity.

This is my number one objection to over-reliance on automation.

Every piece of software is a mechanism. In order to truly be able to safely use something without outside aid, one must have a complete mental map of the mechanics of the system in question. Abstraction helps; but not when you start getting into high-risk contexts.

I always think about API/Implementation as Cause/Effect.

Each API will give different implementation.

The things that i learnt is that, i need to spend more time on API usage rather than implementation. With basic API and raw implementation, i could incrementally improve the implementation later.

With a broken API usage, my code is trashable.

I was a kid, but I remember disassembling the game with my dad to see if there was a way to kill that fat swordman mid-game, that killed us every time.

It's frustrating that the author acknowledges that most bad things are probably heavily correlated, but just soldiers on with his point as though they're independent random variables. Poverty in particular is heavily correlated with, well, most bad things that can happen to a person.
I dont think this article has any reading which says that privileged classes suffer the same as others. They still suffer, but the ways and chance of people in non white non affluent groups suffering is higher. The point was just to not be black and white about privilege as the only source of suffering.

Drug dealer has cash, drug dealer buys Steam gift cards from local 7-11 (or physical stores that carry them) and uses it to load into Steam.

Steam has a marketplace, dealer buys hats/skins and then sells them for real money transferred by paypal e.t.c. via the various 3rd party sites that do that kind of thing.

Cash is now converted to money in a bank account without ever going into a bank itself.

I should clarify because I feel there is some confusion- I do not desire to help someone. I do not desire to be kind, nor compassionate. I merely find it more useful to be willing to listen to others and come from a place to desire to understand first, evaluate second, act third. I've stated to my companions that I'm not a compassionate, empathetic, or kind person (to their vehement disagreement) because my willingness to listen does not spawn from any of the reasoning you are pointing as flawed.
I already pay YouTube for no ads, so I agree. I would do the same for TV to an extent, too many Netflix competitors popping up, I don't have time to spend hundreds of dollars on those, I wont be consuming enough content to justify them. I do spend way too much time online, I usually pay for no ads on mobile games / apps.
You could try the tool my group builds, Arvados (https://arvados.org). We use Common Workflow Language (CWL) as the workflow language. Arvados works great for very large computations and data management at petabyte scale. It really shines in a production environment where data provenance is key. Intelligent handling of failures (which are inevitable at scale) is a key part of the Arvados design.
I think that you have the numbers mixed up, every source I have checked (including the Sony website and an actual device in my hands) had the XZ2 Compact at 135 mm in the longest dimension. The tall, narrow XZ2c is about as wide as older Xperia Compacts, but noticeably taller.

PS: additionally, I'm actually not all that happy with "better" screen to body ratios, coming to the XZ2c from the original Z1c. Accidental touch events from the holding palm at the screen edges are a daily nuisance for me.

On this board it looks like just a functionality/beauty thing and does not matter much. But depends on the target. While for the pads I agree, spacing can be optimised, then for the densely routed areas space is your friend. At higher frequencies (shallow skin depth) most energy is guided by the trace, but transferred in the space. Traces become bounds of transmission lines along what transverse electromagnetic waves are propagating. This is the reason why dielectric constant and dielectric loss matter a lot at higher frequencies; and why good impedance matching is needed for efficient energy transfer. EMC/EMI/RFI is mostly energy management issue.
