Restricting Google API scopes is making user accounts less secure
[bad comment retracted]
Hmmm so Go is getting monadic behaviors with "try" to hide error handling issues with examining every single one with "if".

I think this is a rather large improvement to error handling. I need to read more about how it works with "go" and "defer" (it's all in there).
A lot of problems on sequences are amendable to dynamic programming. Two other famous ones are Smith-Waterman and Needleman-Wunsch for finding optimal global and local alignments of sequences–a typical problem in genetics.

One of the hardest things to do, I think, for a platform like reddit is to get users to curate and specialize the content and create real communities that people can be involved in.

For reddit, that's their specialty. That's a solved problem. In their specific case their subreddit user groups don't act as filter bubbles. By some miracle they largely act as intended... As communities for like minded individuals to share their interests and largely in a positive context.

The money and advertising and focus is always on the "front page" and the jockeying for position to make headlines and drive traffic to affiliates but this is a huge distraction.

Reddit should focus on investing in the positive and great communities that are built on the site. Build tools to help these communities do what they do even better and use more front page real estate to drive people to these positive experiences since they already exist today. That's the real value of reddit.

Some censorship is inevitable, some bad actors need to be expelled from the site, but ultimately you need to lift up the good examples, not just play "bop a troll"
An idea I've had for a long time is a .well-known/search standard (REST) endpoint. Where your browser, or a search aggregator combines results from many sites like stack overflow, MDN, news sites, i duvidual blogs, etc.
That way search engines doesnt have to create a index. It would be up to the sites to create the search result. This means searching would be parallel and distributed.

They aren't really moving forward with it, they are implementing an experimental version of it so people can try it in real code. Many things are added temporarily when a new version is in development. Eg. the error handling changes they mentioned were implemented, and then later most of it was removed before the feature freeze.

So there's still plenty of time to stop the proposal.

> As others have pointed out, that's hardly a contrary opinion.

Opinions are almost universally contrary, despite the knowledge that the URL can be a tool. How often is it put forth that the URL is meant to be indempotent or the URL is supposed to be mapped to another routing system etc. The number of commercial sites where the URL is a field you are meant to manipulate (other than say search engines and even they don't point it out for you) is so small as to be significant.
Someone I met recently met who delegates work to web developers for a living had this to say about JavaScript frameworks: They are very seldom necessary for a job, and their main function is to create more work for more developers to get paid.

As an “old school” designer who writes HTML and CSS by hand, with JavaScript for progressive enhancement, I found myself agreeing, and it reminded me of this, from back in 2001: https://www.thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/box_lesson/why.h...

> The idea of HTML et al is a document markup language that would grow. Its architects saw we were going digital and sat back and took a long view. A very long view. They laid the foundations for a language that would work with all the conceivable technology of the time, and would be expandable to the unconceivable technology that would follow. So that documents would never be unretrievable due to age. Ever. A browser in 2050 would be able to read a 1994 document. And in 2094. And so on. They made a stand of cultural importance to the world.

The slow, less usable feeling of JavaScript-heavy websites — my current personal website included — has remained a constant, and I mourn the reduced usability of View Source as a map for learning, lost in the forest of DIVs and obfuscated JS in much of today’s World Wide Web.
The issues identified so far are solvable, and the solutions are being throughly tested.

I'm pretty sure that if the FAA were to, for some reason, decide no 737MAX can be flown ever again, literally every airline owning one would be suing them the same day and that would shatter any remaining faith in the FAA aroudn the world.

So, the planes will fly again and everyone will move on to solving the previous major safety issue in aviation: skills atrophy and automation dependence (which of course, contributed to the current issue).

We have far too many tourist problem everywhere, and some locals aren't too happy with it. Its not that they don't like tourist, there are just far too many.

I have been wondering, if there are any bills, tax or something in similar effort to bring the cost up, like any market would do with high demand. In ways that government can collect and ( in theory ) redistribute back to local via benefits or subsidies?

Taxing on hotel, flight?

SyncEm: Thread-Safe Decorators in Ruby
I've said this before: I dearly miss Alta Vista. It indexed, but the user had to provide the ranking, which required actually thinking about what was wanted. I would construct searches of the pattern (word OR word) And (word NEAR word) with great success. Naturally Google, requiring far less thinking to use, won.
It looks like a monad for Either or Result to me, and I think it's an improvement.

The good news is if you hate it you don't have to use it, but since it'll be in the language (if they take it) you'll have to know how it works.

I don't think this is worse than things like "for:else" in Python.

Perhaps we can anticipate an angry tweet from the White House about this.
Unfortunately with really large monitors, you have to turn your head a lot.
Yeah, bravo to gfodor. They really hit the nail on the head with their takedown of the rural right-wing propaganda bubble. Brutal. I'm sure that was their intent, otherwise it would be disturbing levels of projection. Fox exists to selectively tell its viewers what to feel about things, and it explicitly, by design, does not exist to be one of many sources of information to base one's own judgements on.

An easy way to tell is to just watch it- it's really obvious. It's really, really obvious, like the-sky-is-blue and one-plus-one-equals-two shit. Nobody needs to interpret or analyze anything on Fox to come to that conclusion- it's just that blindingly obvious, from the words they choose to describe things, to what they choose to cover and how they cover it. The only people who watch it are those who want to believe in the world that it wants them to believe in.

If anyone has any doubt, just keep an eye on memeorandum.com or any other aggregator of American media. Over the course of days and weeks, you can observe how different stories are presented in all these different news outlets, and how each one presents it with no spin, or some spin, or obvious amounts of spin in one direction or another. You also see which outlets ignore which stories altogether. It's really apparent which of those outlets are the most committed to shaping stories to suit their (or their owners' or editors') agenda, and which ones make at least token efforts to be relatively useful sources of information. There's no shortage of spin on both sides but it's clearly the likes of Fox and Breitbart that are head and shoulders above their peers in both telling their audience what to think (and feel), and that seem to be gifted with an audience that wants to be told what to think (and feel), and that really wants to buy what they're selling.
I think this is the long game with respect to blockchains and establishing trust in general.

You will be able to trust data and sources instantly. There will be no intermediaries and trust will be bootstrapped into each system.

> Are there any reasons against using prison labor?

It incentivizes making more prisoners.
I don't think it's necessarily so simple, and I think the multi-frame case blows up the complexity of the algorithm.

In the single frame case, each pixel is a 0 dimensional point, and for each pixel, you evaluate the 3 adjacent pixels in the row above. Then to find the seam you just pick the lowest energy pixel at the edge of the frame and follow the thread up. So the total runtime of this algorithm is O(pixels).

In the multi-frame case, if you want the video to be totally smooth, you have to think higher-dimensionally.

In the multi frame case, each seam is a 1 dimensional list of pixels, and for each seam, you evaluate the $HUGE_NUMBER of adjacent seams in the previous frame.

That is, the 2D case's runtime is proportional to the image height times the number of adjacent pixels, which is a small constant (3). In the 3D case, the runtime is proportional to the number of frame times the number of adjacent seams, which is massive.

I can imagine some heuristic optimizations that would allow you to guide your search, though. For instance, you could significantly downsample the video in both pixels and framerate and solve that, and then use that low-resolution solution to constrain and prune an approximate high-resolution search.

The gall still astonishes me: 20 candidates qualified for the debates, he now polls in the top 8 and betting markets even place him in the top five, and they substitute someone who did not even qualify for the debate for him.
Imagine that in the 90s, a "URLs only" web took off -- not too hard to envision, really, considering how many sites there were that were giant slabs of sliced images with hotspots for links between, or how Sun was pushing the vision of URLs essentially indexing Java client apps.

If that had ended up as the dominant paradigm... Google (or a search engine like it) wouldn't exist.

A URLs-only web, one that sees the browser as nothing more than The VM That Lived™, is actually the more limited vision.

So, Boeing is using a storage area... as a storage area?

That parking lot was intended to be used to store planes, its clear from how they constructed it out of the land that Plant 2 sat on they intended to store planes there, thats what Boeing said they would use it for, thats what they are doing right now. This is not really unprecedented, they have stored 787s in lots of odd places when the QA was backlogged.
Why don't we get rid of tracking instead of getting rid of search engines. Why can't I just have my ad settings set by myself. I should be able to say, I'm interested in tech, fashion, watches, online backup solutions etc. Show me only these ads. It would get rid of all kinds of tracking.

It's more or less implemented for medical care in most other first-world countries and it seems to work better than ours* in all of them.

I lived in Canada for three years, and growing up in a fairly conservative area in the US, I was prepared for the worst - six-month wait times for life-saving procedures, etc. What I saw was more like Star Trek - people who needed medical care went to a clinic or hospital and got it, and they didn't have to worry about being bankrupted in the process.

After I moved back to the US, I got to see what it was like for most people - delaying or never getting critical procedures done, people with teeth rotting in their heads because they can't afford to go to the dentist, almost everyone 1 unexpected medical bill away from permanent financial ruin. Our system is objectively bad, and we deserve to feel bad for sticking with it.

You can cite all the market theory you want, but the US is a perfect empirical example of why those theories are wrong.

* Except for the tiny minority of the ultra-wealthy who can afford to pay any price for health care.
She measured sound levels at the ear, not in the airflow. She specifically mentions children being shorter and likely to stand closer to the noise source, and so made readings at multiple distances.
Which is a lesson in itself isn't it? How can we be sure there even exists an objective reality when not only can we not trust what we learn second hand, but also cannot trust our own senses or memory? We are in the awkward position of simultaneously needing to be skeptical of our understanding of the world while simultaneously having no choice but to act as though it were correct.
https://www.w3schools.com will get you started on making a static html page that you can open in your web browser.

A web server responds to a web browsers request for a document at a url. Learn about HTTP.

Then, you can begin serving this file, but rather than serving it from Apache or some other webserver, you can begin exploring a backend application server environment of some kind, perhaps PHP or Node.js or Ruby "Sinatra" (you mentioned Python, so there's "flask") or something just to get you familiar with HTTP and it's request-response lifecycle. You will never leave this lifecycle, despite doing lots of fancy stuff in between the bookends of receiving a request and returning a response.

You can start with returning your static html page and move on to passing data back and forth.

You can then investigate persistence and how to store data and look it up via a database server that your applcation server can connect to, for now you can have them on the same machine.

There are a million directions you can take the general stuff I outlined above.

> As 'software is eating the world' I think we'll need an ethics board/bar association or something soon.

This seems so unnatural to me, programming is not as close to something like law as people make out. If a company decides to implement fraudulent process, it is the responsibility of the company. Whether that is via software or calling people over the phone or speaking to people in person.

If you want to argue that every person involved in implementing "something" should answer to an ethics board, then your argument goes way way beyond programming. Law is a special case, and they use "legal ethics" which do not attempt to encapsulate some universal ethical code for reality, they are to prevent abuse of the imperfect system that is "the law", the closest thing to that in programming is linting or compiler warnings.

That's a pretty disingenuous way of describing a multi-party interaction with divergent interests. It's not "easier" for the user because the "nudger" [manipulator] is trying to further exhaust the user's decision making capabilities to the manipulator's benefit. In fact, it's much harder if the user does not want to be taken advantage of.

>Institutional slavery.

I would rather have them working, following rules to keep their work privileges, than sitting around being bitter about being incarcerated or learning new methods of committing crime from others incarcerated with them.

The unfortunate truly innocent people in prison aside, if you break the law you deserve to serve a sentence proportional to the severity of the crime.

As long as you aren't using them to break rocks, do dangerous jobs that normally pay very well, etc then I'm completely fine with it. Stuff like manufacturing, basic construction, food prep, even order fulfillment I have no issue with whatasoever and if I were incarcerated I'd actually prefer to be doing something 40 hours a week instead of sitting around reading the same handful of books wondering what's going on with my friends, wondering if there's any new cool tech, wondering if I'll be able to cut it when I get out, wondering if the new guy is going to try and kill himself etc.

Last year it came out California was using prisoners at 1$ an hour to fight wildfires, but it was completely voluntary and they did NOT have a shortage of volunteers. I believe there was a thread on here (possibly reddit though) where a commentor mentioned how a family member had done this sort of work and was happy to be out doing it. While those individuals were denied the ability to get firefighting licenses when released I imagine mentioning in your job interviews "look, yes I messed up and went to prison, I did my time, while there though I volunteered to fight wildfires. I risked my own life to do backbreaking work to try and limit the spread of the fires, I could have easily sat back at the prison watching tv of playing cards but..." is going to also help you considerably, as will most prison work programs to various degrees.
Or we could stop seeing things as us Vs them. Having the same job title doesn't make me an accomplice of those developers.

I’ve quit jobs partially over ethical issues with the software I was being asked to write. Once at around 25 years old and once at around 35.
