There are four types of web sites: static sites made using HTML, dynamic web sites that use both HTML and JS. The third type however is web apps, that like dynamic sites use the DOM, but no HTML! And the fourth type is web apps that only use the Canvas eg. no DOM! So its possible to make a web "site" that only has a script element, and the only DOM interaction is to append the canvas element and add event listeners.
There is an "s" in the expanded form. It's last, unfortunately.

I don't think this is at all analogous to speech. For example, you might be entitled to say whatever you want under free speech protections in the US, but that doesn't mean you're allowed to walk up to random people and shout in their face. If you do that long enough you'll definitely earn yourself some misdemeanors. If you consistently did it to a particular person against their wishes, you'd eventually get some kind of harassment felony charge.
Generally speaking you never want to make enemies who are richer than you are and for teachers in rich school districts that is all the parents. Some parents will not like it if their kids come home talking about how they worked with prisoners. Considering that wealthy suburbs have basically the highest density of "can I speak to a manager" types there's no way that can end well for the teacher(s).

Your teacher was right in deciding that keeping their mouth shut had the best risk:reward. Blame here lies on parents for getting bent out of shape over dumb "my kid isn't old enough for that information" type stuff too often. Sucks but that's the society we live in.

Considering the demographics most of HN is apart of I don't expect this to be well received here but the reality is that teachers are "disposable" to a school district on an individual level and the people who last in wealthy suburbs (ie. "good" schol districts) tend to be the ones that do not create any controversy among the customers.

Edit: I used to work developing software for education. I am very aware of the workplace dynamics that govern how these people do their jobs (gotta understand that in order to actually build products that they can use).

Edit2: Ask any teacher. Rich suburb jobs are coveted because they pay well but the customers are very demanding.

Sure, but it usually comes from management on high, just as adding two dozen different tracking and adtech schemes to a single page does.

I've walked away from job offers where I found at interview I really didn't like the smell from how they were making money. I also recognise a 25 year old me might not have had the financial luxury to do so, or to just say no to a boss asking.

Were software a regulated profession like medicine or legal with an ethics body I'd be inclined to agree. Maybe it's time it was, but I suspect stronger consumer protection and treating dark patterns and policies as fraud would be a vastly cheaper route for all concerned.
Every time I read about some new clever way to fight "fake news" I ask the same question. Can this method be used to reinforce any arbitrarily chosen agenda or does it work because there is something fundamentally wrong with the information it targets?
I got started taking a basic hand tools class and followed that with other evening and week-long classes. I'm actually not somebody who's been in the shop since they could walk; I'm pretty late to the trade.

At the moment it's like that old joke: "What do you call a drummer without a girlfriend? ... Homeless." I do make some money on commission work, but not enough to cover my living expenses. What I do make I'm largely investing back into the business, which I just started. This is probably fewer tools than you might think; I pay for annual access to the bigger tools I don't have, and I have a pretty decent selection of the moderate-sized tools that I got for pretty short money (band saw, drill press, and table saw. All good tools, total: <500 USD).

Mostly it's stuff like a camera and lights to shoot my work, a logo, and the other sorts of things that separate a hobby from a business. A better website [0] is on the list as well, but never having been a web developer, my partner and I are likely going to use squarespace or something similar.

Am I glad I made the switch? Emphatically yes. I love the woodworking aspect. I'm happy to report that my partner is helping with the business-y things. Also: she's a way better photographer than I am. Any of the pictures on my existing website that look good are probably hers; the crappy ones are mine (and need to be re-shot around the time we get around to settling on a logo and commit to getting a real website up).

TL;DR:

I'm lucky to be married to the world's most supportive partner.

Mentioned in a few related threads about Facebook and e-commerce dark patterns: we don't put our peers to task enough and make them aware about the potential harm they do.

Another comment here also mentioned that consequential actions are abstracted in large companies; group diffusion of responsibility gently removes most bad decisions that would normally make a person think remorsefully about what they’ve done.

Having an ethics board would be a top-down solution. The bottom-up, which I’m more fond of, is releasing literature and material to anyone working in tech about how their work could actually affect their end users; we need to help each other develop more self-awareness of the results of our work instead of the breadth of material about the work itself.

"Fake news" isn't the problem, it's the symptom of a mainstream media landscape which has sacrificed its credibility for partisanship, activism, and sensationalism. People are willing to believe new sources because they don't know who to trust.
"Both sides do it!" is a really unconvincing argument.

Watch an hour of prime-time CNN and prime-time Fox News, and it's obvious that Fox is more willing to stretch the truth, mislead watchers, and spread FUD.

It's a dark pattern, because it's deliberately wasting everybody's time to cater to people who refuse to learn. It should instead say "verification complete in n milliseconds" (or n microseconds if the milliseconds number looks too small). There could even be a "details" link with a log of all the verification steps.
If you're talking about US TV you might have a point, but I wouldn't say that Fox News meets European standards. Especially their interviews are sometimes plain demagogic and not information-seeking at all.

When I see a website lying to me in our interactions (two rooms left, going fast, yeah sure), I just assume that if you're starting out our business trying to defraud me, it's not going to get any better and immediately nope out of there.

I don't care if they have rooms $10 cheaper. If you've already proved you will lie to me, I'd just be foolish to engage in any business with you at all. I might not detect your next attempt to cheat me, or I might be more vulnerable having already given you my money, or something like that. Much better in the long run just to decline to do business at all.
Hard does not equate challenging. To be challenged is to actually grow.

You can do numbingly simple and hard stuff that wouldn't challenge anyone, just is a big amount of work.

Very much this. Markets are OK at these things when there's symmetrical information, because it forces everyone to play nice.

When one side gets to obscure facts like this and honestly just be downright deceitful, it's time to get out the paddle. Unfortunately I don't really have a lot of faith in the US government to do the right thing right now. Maybe the EU.

> the browser is that it provides a sandboxed platform for running untrusted code

Unfortunately it's not true. Zero day exploits happen all the time, even the recent Intel CPU vulnerabilities were exploitable via JavaScript. Morevever, some harmful effects of arbitrary code execution cannot be mitigated (like the drained battery or user tracking), that's why I have recently adopted a view that code execution on web pages is just a Bad Idea and my non-work browsers are configured with JS turned completely off.

This gives me nearly 2 full days of battery life on my phone and I'm less worried about privacy/security aspects of visiting random web sites.

Unfortunately, even within the last year, I'm noticing that more and more web sites simply serve me a blank screen without JS enabled. This forces me to stop using such sites, which is gradually reducing the size of the usable web for me. My only hope is for a new trendy server-side rendering fad to come along and rescue the Internet :)

This reminds me of the problem of designing digestive tracts for m-dimensional creatures in an n-dimensional ambient space. For example, if Pac-Man had had an anus, he would have split in two (without additional biology keeping him together).
Challenging, again, not hard. You have not tasted hard work until you have peeled 100 kg of potatoes. Or carried equivalent heavy load.

Repetition is necessary to a point, but that does not make the work hard by any means, especially if you enjoy it. Practice is not the same as hard work either.
The other majors are doing it too. The topic may change, but those techniques are in wide use by the major media conglomerates.

Ask HN: In CS, is it better to be highly specialized or generalized?
As a programmer, is it better for long-term career growth to hone in on one single skill (i.e., systems programming, or high-performance computing, or webdev) or is it better to be more of a generalist - to be able to write iOS apps, but also know a bit of assembly, but also be familiar with .NET and React, etc.?

To rephrase: should a software dev be a jack of all trades, or a master of one?
So, a little nicer misinformation is OK?

We definitely tried to do on-board processing, as we were still bottlenecked by the blazing “gigabit over USB 2.0” NIC speed. However, while I have a hunch that the new Pi 4 might be more than up to some of the crunching, the real problem is that the spatial nature of the domain means that each Pi would need access to the sparse clouds and shape masks generated by the rest in order to proceed. We could do color correction and remove lens distortion on the Pi, but that’s it.

Reflecting on this conversation, it occurs to me that I should strongly consider publishing a string of #1 on HN deep dives on what I learned to pay it forward. ;)
> The 4Runner has barely changed in 10 years.

To be fair, that may be a purposeful design decision.

I consider the fact that the 4Runner can trace its way back to a 1980s Hilux that Top Gear dropped off a building (and still survived) to be nothing but good for its likely reliability.

Similarly, its primarily dial-based dashboard (as opposed to the touch-screen everywhere fad right now), truck-based suspension, and off-road performance (all things that could point to it being a rather much for a city car) to be its primary selling points.

Additionally, why change what sells so well? They sell ~140,000 4Runners a year, vs all of the Lexus models combined being ~40,000.

I can't comment on the Camry/Corolla as I've never owned one.

Precisely, the subtle "bias" in traditional news is extremely powerful to pull mindshare this way or that. It's not tabloid level shit like spacemen are coming to get you, but wrapped as trustworthy articles vetted by sources, studies or science.
I've had Odroid devices in the past. Although they by all means work as advertised, the SW support for the raspberry pi is higher, allowing more recent kernels and with more (most) of the sources available also more tinkering.

That's a fairly limited view of physics. We don't actually fully understand how our bodies interact with the quantum (or Newtonian, really) physics realms that we exist within. There's a lot more to the brain than just (just! hah!) neurotransmitters and neural layout.
This is what happens when you take a story, in this case gangs and cartels stealing gasoline from pipelines, and add a human interest element that has nothing to do with the story. In this case, that is a group of locals taking gas spewing from a broken pipeline and being killed or injured by the explosion.

Second best. The best is selective reporting. Even if every story is reported 100% accurately and objectively, by choosing which stories are promoted, and which buried, you can set any agenda you want.

It depends on how you look at it. A deep learning approach is supposedly more generic. Therefore I suppose the assumptions would be dynamic instead of fixed.
In pre-modern times, a predominantly grain diet led to tooth decay not only because of starch sticking to the mouth, but also because all grain was stone-milled and the process left tiny fragments of stone in the grain that were abrasive on teeth.
This article makes a pretense of balance. It does acknowledge the tension between ownership and free speech:

"the conversation around censorship (especially in regard to Big Tech) pits two important ideological tenets of standard conservatism against each other: the right of private companies to operate as they please and the necessity for absolute freedom of speech in the political sphere."

But it goes on to totally ignore the property rights side of the tension in favor of what it refers to as "absolute freedom of speech in the political sphere".

The author (or more clearly the seminar reported on, would have done well to consider a couple of things.

First, the very recent SCOTUS decision about property rights and (essentially) the platform owner not having to pay for your dumb FREEDOM OF SPEACH.

Second, the history of forcing platforms to "be fair" or "carry opposing opinions" or whatever you want to call it. The USA got rid of the Fairness Doctrine in the 80s. Collectively, we decided to put property rights first, and free speech second. Arguably, this led to the overwhelming prevalence of conservative talk radio and Fox News. That's the kind of viewpoints that platform owners wanted to put out there, I guess.

I have a certain amount of sympathy with the Heritage Foundation on this issue: I'm not a platform owner. My kind of opinions aren't very well represented in mass media today. But until the American Spectator and Heritage Foundation deal with having backed eliminating non-conservative viewpoints during the 80s and 90s broadcast media consolidation, and now wanting guaranteed access to consolidated internet media, and using two reasons that are in tension with each other, they will just look like they're advocating for conservative opinion affirmative action.

My observations are a bit different. I live in a populous suburb (150k residents?) north of Denver. Truck culture is very prominent here and mainly consists of raising a vehicle and making it louder - mostly because they do want to attract attention. My 17 year old neighbor modified his Subaru so that it can (literally) be heard from miles away - and when he simply turns the car on can be heard clear across the entire neighborhood until the engine warms up and throttles down.

I'm not so much annoyed as I'm curious as to how all of this noise affects the environment at large (people's sleep quality and mood, birds migrating, insects mating etc.)
Taking off my nostalgia-colored glasses, every cartoon I remember watching as a kid pushed merchandise in some form or another, even if it was only the licensed character figures and graphic tee-shirts.

It has been a long while since I have seen Woody Woodpecker, Chilly Willy, or Tom and Jerry in stores, though. I hated The Flintstones and The Jetsons, and never watched reruns of them. By the time we got GI Joe, MASK, Jem, Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony, He-Man, Care Bears, Thundercats, Voltron, etc. they were just wall-to-wall toy ad. That saturation ad-bombing backed off as cable TV ramped up, because then you could get Disney Channel and Nickelodeon.

I'm not familiar with golang, but I did read about a concern with variable mutability and race conditions when communicating across channels: https://bluxte.net/musings/2018/04/10/go-good-bad-ugly/#muta...

"""
As we saw above there is no way in Go to have immutable data structures. This means that once we send a pointer on a channel, it's game over: we share mutable data between concurrent processes. Of course a channel of structures (and not pointers) copies the values sent on the channel, but as we saw above, this doesn't deep-copy references, including slices and maps, which are intrinsically mutable. Same goes with struct fields of an interface type: they are pointers, and any mutation method defined by the interface is an open door to race conditions.

So although channels apparently make concurrent programming easy, they don't prevent race conditions on shared data. And the intrinsic mutability of slices and maps makes them even more likely to happen.
"""

Is this still a concern, and if it is, would it be addressed in Go 2?
