Unfortunately these institutions take a long time to build and a short time to destroy.

How will we know what changes take place in the health of an individual working in the various dangerous occupations common in Alaska (logging, fishing, oil, and mining) over the course of 10 years. It takes 10 years to find out!

How can workers demand payment for the true hazards they face if they don't know the hazards they face? Who benefits from ignorance?
Discussing and taking part of a topic online is also about seeding motivation, it's as important as actually going to a place.

Plus, having the ability to plan, discuss, reference, lookup etc - _while_ discussing something, saves a ton of time and effort that would be wasted when speaking face-to-face.

How did you came to the conclusion that I am abusing you by pointing out that you did not read the FAQ?

My message was not even unsolicited. You were asking why and I gave you an answer.
> The former is a distributed programming DSL (an awesome one granted)

I mean, that's a completely incorrect characterization of Erlang, regardless of how you feel about the comparison to C#.

Erlang is just as much a general purpose language as C#, it is just a different paradigm, i.e. functional programming rather than (mostly) object-oriented.

> There is 0 Erlang-native GUI libraries

This isn't true at all. There is a tight integration with the wxWidgets framework (in fact, one of Erlang's handiest tools is built with it, Observer). Scenic, as mentioned elsewhere in the comments, is for Elixir (perhaps there is an Erlang-native API for it, not sure), but provides a native framework for OpenGL, and a UI paradigm that meshes nicely with processes and supervision.

Of course, Erlang is not perfectly suited for all environments (e.g. iOS apps), but that is true of essentially all general purpose languages - there are some places where they aren't well suited or have flaky support. I wouldn't build an iOS app in C# either, it makes little sense to use anything other than Swift/Obj-C in that environment. Likewise if I'm primarily building Windows-based apps, I would use C# before I would reach for Erlang. But for backend services, infrastructure, networking, etc., it is extremely well suited, and I think the domains that it can provide a compelling solution for will continue to grow (e.g. embedded).
New Fast.ai Course: A Code-First Introduction to Natural Language Processing
Yeah, that was my exact experience too. They're nice for a while, and they can make great Kanban boards, if you're into that. But I only got a couple years out of them (which is honestly fine, for their cost). If I were a bit more clever, and still needed those types of whiteboards, I would have engineered something to make it easier to remove them from the wall, without having to redrill holes.
The difference between something like NearlyFreeSpeech and something like YouTube, which is often lost in the noise, is that NearlyFreeSpeech is a hosting provider, while YouTube has, in addition, also an active editorial system and recommendation engine that promotes "offensive" content. Just as NFS is justified in hosting content and requiring uploaders to back it up with their real identity, so that those uploaders can be judged, people are justified in judging YouTube management for the content that YouTube management uploads (the Watch Next side-bar, and the comment streams it attaches to videos)
I went to bookmark this site as a hosting company supporting a ton of languages, only to see that I’d already bookmarked it back in 2006. So I guess they’ve been around for a while :)
Wasn’t the speed of the IBM 1401 only one hash every 80 seconds (1/80 H/s)?
I agree with that, but I don't agree with the underlying notion of us ever needing to unionize.

Do people actually think that software engineering is going to become a job that isn't skilled, and isn't sought after?
Modern music is a mirror image of the internet culture as well. Blasted with as many synth hooks and processed vocal melodies as possible. I was recently turned onto this band called Wand. If you want to feel some delicious space in a song, check out Scarecrow by Wand. The video is amazingly simple too.

The constant bombardment of shit is so real though. I want to spend time with my wife and kid. Sometimes it's hard to focus though. Everywhere you look in public there is something flashing to get your attention. Thankfully we _are_ able to turn things off for a while and just be with each other.
Tea and the Value of Doing Nothing
The AGC is 10 s/H, not 10 H/s.
I was there. Had a full time Erlang job even before the line numbers in stack traces. Later migrated to more enterprise-y languages... and for me, the big missing thing in Erlang is the IDE. And a company (or a big community) that is dedicated to catering to the developers. This was never a thing in Erlang.
People have mentioned in this thread why an FB account might be worth having. There's also business reasons.

Maybe an alternative would be to setup a dedicated device with no video or audio for all your dealings with evil empires.
> The gig economy was supposed to create lots of well-paying, independent jobs;

Instead it has created companies that vacuum investment cash with no hope of profit and an army of depreciated labor. The economy would be better off if investors saw a return on their investment and if 20% of the gig labor force were suddenly unemployed provided that the freed labor wages are redirected to the remaining 80%.
Are you also saying that an ECC public key necessarily provides those details that may remain private with RSA?
Many say that if ESR had not written Cathedral and the Bazaar in 1997, then Netscape Corporation probably would not have decided to make their browser open source. The Mozilla Organization was created (by AOL, which bought Netscape) to shepherd the development of this code base. Firefox is a descendant of this code base. (Firefox started outside Mozilla as a fork of the code base, which IIRC was called the Mozilla browser at the time. After a few years, Mozilla renamed the fork they were working on to SeaMonkey and endorsed and embraced Firefox.)

ESR is the main instigator of the "rebranding" of "free software" as "open-source software":

>The free-software movement was launched in 1983. In 1998, a group of individuals advocated that the term free software should be replaced by open-source software (OSS) as an expression which is less ambiguous and more comfortable for the corporate world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software#End_of_19...

This rebranding was very influential.

For example, it probably caused Sun Microsystems in July 2000 to open source OpenOffice (the direct ancestor to LibreOffice).

Linus starting using the term "open source" shortly after the rebranding. Interest in Linux by IT departments worldwide exploded. Large annual conferences devoted to Linux appeared. Seeing a way to decrease the hold exerted by Microsoft on its customers, IBM in 2001 launched a multi-million-dollar ad campaign dubbed “Peace, Love, Linux”:

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2001/07/peace-love-and-...

In summary, ESR said in 1997 and 1998 that free software would become much more popular with organizations if it were explained differently, then put a lot of work into explaining it differently (e.g., founding a non-profit, the Open Source Initiative, writing many documents, including the most influential responses to Microsoft's attacks on free software), then over the next 3 years interest by organizations in free software exploded.

With the possible exception of Richard Stallman, ESR has clearly been the most influential explainer of free software to non-programmers.
Love it when projects give a bunch of examples and all live too. The last time I looked into an RN library you basically had to test all the components yourself to get an idea of what they looked like and how they worked.
> If they think the money is suspicious, do they have to report to anyone

Yes, a Suspicious Activity Report. But in my experience the report is filed into a black hole. I've filed SARs (unrelated to real estate but I believe the process is the same) with the UK Government before. Guess how many times they followed up? Zero.
Can I ask which alternative are cheaper?
Then we're both in agreement, because my point isn't that code shouldn't be subject to standards, but that a lot of feedback can end up being pedantic and that there needs to be a line drawn to prevent code reviews from turning into an endless cycle. If the difference is marginal, the author of the code should be able to move on to other things.
What you say is true, however these things can be negotiated with a union.

All a union does is give centralized power to the employees. If employees need to be cut for survival or salaries need to be lowered temporarily than these are things that an employer can provide proof of to the union and together with employees as a union work something out.

A union prevents the laying off of employees as a profit boosting measure even when it IS'NT required for survival. That is wrong on every count.

The employees are a greater part of the company than shareholders, board members, owners and C-level executives combined. Employees are not sheep to be herded and they deserve a centralized voice.

Atlantropa would have helped there a lot :)

License says you can "copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software"

So you can do all those things, but I imagine that modifying is going to be harder than it would be with the source code.
Ironically enough, rural areas in Alaska vote blue and its the urban areas that vote red. So in this case it’s the urban area majority imposing their will on the less dense areas.
That is a decent write-up. I found a few components missing from their diagrams, including Sulfurophane (for atophagy, benzine excretion and up-regulating NRF2) and Berberine (AMPK activation, mTor dampening, p-53 signalling, anti-tumor and anti-cancer).
There's a lot in the Erlang stdlib that is not available in a wrapped form from Elixir's. As of now I think you need to know at least a bit of Erlang (e.g. to understand the stdlib docs) to be able to use Elixir more productively.

I'm not sure if Elixir developers plan on providing complete wrappers for Erlang's stdlib in the future. This is in fact one criticism I have of the language, because even for simple things like serialization you have to drop to Erlang and call :erlang.term_to_binary(), which feels a bit second-class.

I really like the language otherwise though.
If it's an extremely common style in the code (something I think definitely should be done), I'd do:

nit: align variable definitions for better readability

If it's a suggestion or new style that I think we should adopt moving forward, I'd say:

Do you think we should align these variable definitions? I think it improves readability.

Then, ideally I'd leave a non-blocking task for them so they can either do it or not but it's not holding up submission whichever way it goes.

Also, I'd likely raise a ticket against a style guide or project-level autoformatter for that class of suggestion, otherwise it just adds noise to every PR.
I agree, the article gradually became more incomprehensible but the core point seems to be that the author has realized that mainstream currency will become crypto with government/corporate backing and lose the anonymity.

which is true. It couldn’t have gone any other way, realistically.

I’ve made my peace with it, at least the we keep making tiny steps forward. It sure beats the credit card networks and paypal.
Please show me your best transcriptions for this channel [1]. There's over 2 TB of video data. No way to get access to the original PPT files.

At least the subtitles on there are already aligned English & Chinese, but they do require OCR. Message me directly if you want my OpenCV script that can pull the yellow text out.

I'm sorry to continue insisting, but seriously, Tesseract gave me terrible results. Identical lines don't even give the same OCR result, so trying to run partial matches on Google Translate-quality word equivalents isn't going to cut it. The OCR can't even give me the right number of characters! In the end I'm trying to do it manually, but it's really time-consuming.

Maybe that's the next big thing. A few now popular apps started as "that one thing the FB is used for but as a separate app". Instagram comes to mind.
I don't think the disparity was expected and doubt the founders would conclude that sparsely populated states with very little economy should lead an entire branch. This is certainly not working.

Please don't move the goalpost. My comment was responding to your comment about average tenure, not unions specifically. You didn't raise any questions on how unions played into average tenure or provide any example of how they could help.
I imagine a good number of people are like me and would like to close their Facebook account, but are afraid of losing that circle of friends and family that they have no other easy way of contacting.

A useful feature (albeit one that Facebook would never, ever implement, as it would facilitate people leaving their platform) would be to have closure page with a final statement or forwarding address, e.g.:

"I've decided to close my Facebook account. You can still reach me at: myname@emailprovider.com"
Police work is only easy in a police state. Ham operators have to decide whether they want to enforce the rules more easily, or whether they want their protected slices of bandwidth to remain relevant in the 21st century.

Constellations of LEO communications satellites already exist, and they are becoming cheaper and more accessible. When a message can be sent from anywhere on Earth to anywhere else on Earth using antennas smaller than a thumbnail, with verification of receipt, independently of local weather, while a billion other people are doing exactly the same thing at exactly the same time, I will strongly wonder why people are still using a channel that could otherwise carry trillions of those messages to try to unreliably bounce Morse code along the terminator from Kansas to Kamchatka.

Opening up a free-for-all in the amateur bands might just produce outsider ideas for interference resolution and deconfliction that are not encumbered by telecoms patents.

I want the amateur bands to be a free-for-all. And also free, for all.
You could have income-dependent copayments to mitigate the regressive nature of this, but you are still stuck with the fact that you are incentivizing delaying care without urgency, which is mostly routine and preventive care, which does save money (IIRC, in total as well as just on that care) but also has an adverse impact on health outcomes.
Not everyone can do this but when i get truly bored and have the time and space... Spark up a little doobson and start playing music. Dont think, just play for 30 minutes and hour 2 hours. However these times are much scarcer with a little kid in the house.
I agree with you 100%. But to be unbiased I must also mention that it does leave room for some slackers who can take advantage of the system.
Some things belong in museums.
Rope memory is so fascinating and economical. Just wires and only one metal rings for each word, which can be hundreds of bits longs. My question is: is it possible to construct a finite state machine only with rope memory and mechanical relays and maybe capacitors. You can perhaps raise reading voltages so high, that the signal is detectable with relay coil. This would be the first real steam-punk, post-apocalyptic computer that people with early iron age technology can construct themselves.

It's 10 characters too long. But when shortening it, the meaning should not be significantly changed.

E.g., you could replace "AMD Ryzen 7 3700X + Ryzen 9 3900X" with "AMD Ryzen 3700X + 3900X". 10 characters shorter and no confusion or change in meaning. I'm sure there are other ways to rewrite this.
There is a quite a large difference between the two.

Calling is an active interest. It requires specific action from the caller, and potentially interrupts the callee (which may or may not be desirable).

Facebook and other social media allows a more passive interest. The information about how the person is getting on is passed on, but the "caller" isn't needing to worry about disturbing the "callee" and the callee is not interrupted.

Sometimes we don't call because we don't care, we don't call because we don't want to impose.

This passive information forwarding replaces to an extent the part of the "village" culture that has been lost a bit as our populations have grown more and more densely packed yet the people we care to "follow" are often spreading geographically further apart. Because not everyone knows everyone, the "oh, did you hear" conversations don't spread as they once did: there are wider air gaps (filled with signal noise, i.e. the rest of that dense population) between the connected nodes in the network.

Of course social media is emulating the worst parts of that village culture grape-vine, as well as the useful parts...
But is the degree of inequality a foreseen consequence?

20% of citizens controlling 1/3 or 2/3 of the federal government is not a healthy republic, especially when the 20% have views that are so far from average. It's not like they're a representative 20%.
> "Finally, censorship is always bad, for a variety of well understood reasons that we don't need to repeat here. But in the case of some types of content, it has special dangers. When you censor a web site based on the extreme or dangerous views of its creator(s), you haven't stopped those people from thinking that way. You haven't made them go away. You certainly haven't stopped the people who hold those views from doing whatever else they do when they're not posting on the Internet. What you've actually done is given yourself a false sense of accomplishment by closing your eyes, clapping your hands over your ears, and yelling "Lalala! I can't hear you!" at the top of your voice. Pretending a problem doesn't exist is not only not a solution, it makes real solutions harder to reach."

I no longer believe this, when cesspits of alt-right, racist assholes use such grandiose ideals to spread their hatred, which then bubbles out into the real world.

The idea that good ideas will win, and that common sense and rationality will take the day, are not really supported by what we see around the net. Instead the greater internet fuckwad theorem holds more true, and the spread of vile, violent ideologies is enabled.

Freedom of speech is a protection from government, but I think those providing speech platforms, such as hosting companies, should probably take more responsibility for what they propagate.
Because it's supported, not yet broken, and not from a government agency whose loyalty to its people is questionable.

The EC curves from NIST[1]:

> cryptography experts have also expressed concern over the security of the NIST recommended elliptic curves

C.f. [this comment and the thread of comments nearby][2], where this, and some other concerns, are discussed. But the concerns about hidden numbers from a government agency in a world where we know what we know from Snowden just kills the NIST curves for me.

I'd happily use Curve25519/Ed25519 over RSA, if it is supported, but that's the trick. AFAIK, TLS 1.3 supports it, but the CA/B forum does not, meaning CAs won't issue such certificates, since they're bound by those rules. ACME, AFIAK, also does not support Ed25519 yet, though I believe there are plans in motion to do so.

SSH is about the happiest story: it's well supported by OpenSSH.

Aside from that, as a dev, I try to let well-known TLS libraries handle the encryption for me, as much as possible. (But even that is hard; many tools/libraries make it incredibly easy to generate invalid certs, short keys, fail to correctly validate a supplied certificate, etc.) Or push it over SSH.

My worry is that without premature organization, the next recession is going to make the "tech worker shortage" a permanent thing of the past. We'll never have as much negotiating power as we do now.

If say there was a Tech Workers Union/Guild/Association, we might have been able to protect the older workers at IBM, or the outsourced workers at Disney. Maybe there could be a push back against open offices and poorly implemented Agile. As it is, we're just better compensated workers floating from job to better job.
The Android platform and Play Store place too much trust in the integrity of app developers who are forced to occupy an intentionally low-profitability app ecosystem. Google will never expend the effort to filter out all of the malware. It's too expensive. Google is too inefficient and the dev teams are too loosely managed.

Offensive to those, who can make enough noise about it.
That sounds awesome.. One of my future road trips is to follow Highway 20 from the Oregon Coast to Boston (the longest highway in the US)
For web and mobile development, you don't really need that much GPU power. Assuming you do, I like 15" for the size of the screen, but not 17" that it becomes non-portable. GS65 also comes with 32GB RAM which I like - good for running docker, VMs and simulators. CPU I really don't care, so long above quad-core is okay, better to be above 8th Gen, which they are.

Other than RAM, I like PS63's aesthetics, far from Macbooks' build quality, but it's really good. I guess it would be a good MBA alternative. Trackpad probably not great.

I'd say RAM might not be that great of a deal if you are aware your laptop's limits. I can reach bottleneck sometimes even with 64GB RAM because how crappy some Windows platform products are. I can't believe at one point Firefox or Chrome took over 16GB+ of my system memory.

So, if portability is important, do PS63. If you need more power, GS65, it's not that heavy, but definitely a noticeable difference.

Corporations are run so they suck as many profits out of the company as possible during the boom times, then "cut costs" (aka dump overboard the workers who created those profits) at the slightest change of the economic winds. Unions change that equation; corporations won't be able to run that strategy, and will maintain a cushion to get through the inevitable downturn.
