Am I misunderstanding, or would this require the server to hold state for every client that has been delivered a form, but not yet received a form submission?

That seems like a bad architecture for a web app.

A long time ago I wrote web apps in WebObjects (originally NeXT, then Apple). While it didn't use continuations, it did rely on maintaining server state for every client, in order to try to make writing a web app transparently as much like writing a 'native' (we didn't call them native then) app as possible. That aspect of architecture -- persistent client-specific state on the server meant to be tracking what the client was doing -- was a fundamental mismatch for the web, and led to lots of complexity and problems. While it seems like it can/should be transparent/automatic (and that was the intent of the WebObjects archiecture), it ends up an abstraction with significant leaks, just because it's such a poor match for the mostly stateless web client-server architecture.

I dunno. Being an astronaut doesn't sound much better when you put it reductively.

"Astronaut" doesn't mean "space adventurer" at all. Most of the time is spent in training and classes on the ground. Moreover, once you go out to space -- supposing you ever get to go, not likely -- you find that there's nothing there (that's what "space" means), most notably, no bars, movie theaters, or hot young people of your preferred gender. And the whole deal might be scrapped if the wrong political party gains power and slashes NASA's budget by 50%.
Perhaps I should have made myself more clear in the blog post.

NPM - the account had no activity on it. No code, no linked accounts, and no avatar.

SoundCloud - completely dormant account. They'd posted no content. They had no public activity.

Telegram - user didn't appear responsive. I hold my hands up on this one, it might have been someone using the account.

Those were the only three accounts I could claim. I was not able to claim any accounts which were in use, or had content on them.

And, like you, I think these services should have a better way of protecting accounts.

This is definitely not enough. There still need to be an thorough investigation into the history of the project, at least include but not limited to:

1) the internal decision making process involving this project

2) personnel who are responsible for initiating / approving the project

3) how many resources have been put into this project

4) the exact content (data sources, roadmap, goals, etc.) of this project

5) how far this project went

6) where the product / data is stored, how will they be handled when the project is terminated

7) how many of the project outputs have being provided to the Chinese government

8) the details of Chinese government involvement into this project

Also, not limited to Google, any U.S. company helps any authoritarian government doing censorship needs to be investigated.

BTW, I got lots of downvotes from comments criticizing China.
People in the US would generally call them "Extended Stays" but they're usually as expensive as hotels but not necessarily located in places where you'd want to be. In my experience they're either in industrial suburbs or just off of a highway exit. They're targeted at people who will be away from home for more than a few days and/or where a hotel room is too small/ill equipped.
Only if you don't count selective breeding as GMO. Which I do. We've "genetically modified" our food to have greater yields, better taste, pest resistance, etc. Just because someone in a labcoat wasn't hunched over a petri dish doesn't mean the genetics aren't being tweaked. The corn we eat today is all but indistinguishable from what we ate in our past.

Genes are genes, and changes to them are changes to them.
Nitpicking, but SMB3 uses the MMC3 chip which "adds an IRQ timer to allow split screen scrolling without the sacrifice of sprite 0" (Wikipedia) so it does not use this technique.

SMB1 actually also does not use the sprite zero split technique because it never scrolls vertically. Its status bar is just a bunch of fixed background tiles.
Why are you choosing to draw the line there? I don't understand the rationale for that choice.
Or kids want to be kids. They want to do things that they like such as playing games, hanging out (podcast), or reviewing tech/games/fashion/beauty. They want to do them with people they like. They want to share the experience with other people. That's one form of a YouTuber.

There are bad actors in this space. There are bad actors in every space. Should we label children who want to start a business assholes since companies like Nestle and Uber exist? Should we label children who want to be politicians assholes since some politicians vote for whoever pays the most? Should we label children who want to be scientific researchers assholes since we know some researchers fudge their findings to keep funding?

I don't see the importance in making a distinction. I can think of a very limited number of reasons a company would _specifically_ want to hire female devs? Why not hire the person best-suited regardless of gender?

> The question isn't "should we genetically modified food?" because we already are and have been doing it for centuries.

"Genetically modified" does not apply to selection and cross breeding. To create a variety of corn that can resist herbicides, you need some advanced technology that modifies the genes, hence GMO.

So, no, we haven't been genetically modifying our food for centuries. The process appeared a few decades ago in the agro-industry.

> You probably eat genetically modified food on a daily basis. It's everywhere.

It's everywhere in the USA and some other countries. In Europe , GMO are rarely directly present in food. But, indirectly, many animals are fed with GMO, especially GMO soybean.
It doesn't imply it will never malfunction. It implies it went through a scientifically rigorous process to minimize the chances it will malfunction.
While a certain amount of cynicism is healthy and it should be acknowledged that Google can always back track, I'm still happy that for now they've decided not to assist and facilitate one of the most Orwellian nation's to ever exist.
Yeah, there's the rub I didn't want to get into in my original post. The problems with the food chain are more about sustainability than producing enough food, and GMO crops that we've seen so far tend to aggravate rather than solve the problems of monocropping, excessive tillage, etc. That's because the goal of GMO so far hasn't been to improve the food supply, but rather to improve vendor lock-in for megacorporation agribusiness and the associated financial interests. It isn't to solve the needs of either farmers or citizens.

I think this was the most confusing part of the response to me. Even my home security system calls the fire department by default and my condo isn’t an 850 year old landmark. It made me wonder whether the system produced a lot of false alarms that would make an immediate default response impractical.

You can see all kinds of countries where birth rates go down as women gain the freedom to exercise family planning. Even women who love babies may need time to recover after a birth and prefer to space things out a bit more than might occur without available birth control. There is not a need to bring government control into this: women will make decisions about birth control in discussion with their partners and considering family finances, safety (are we in a civil war or not?), physical health, and needs of existing children.

You get the feeling that they're solving the wrong problem though.

No-one can can predict what other people are going to do, and what other drivers do is also affected by what you do. Most drivers aren't even paying that much attention. Realistically you can't model that to any useful level of precision.

I think maybe vendors are trying to build a more deterministic system that can justify its actions, but to make autonomous driving actually work, I suspect you have to make it drive like human: taking actions "confidently" (i.e. slightly recklessly) assuming the world will roughly follow a rational model, while also driving "defensively" to cope with the general unpredictability of reality.

The price to pay for this strategy is familiar to human drivers: the occasional fender bender.

I've stumbled across the "Image Streaming" notion before, on those same few websites. Is there any third-party support for the idea? Such as a published study, slatestarcodex-style book review, or (at this point) a few redditors claiming "it worked for me"...

It unfortunately sets off my BS radar in full:

* Most references to the technique appears to originate from a book called "The Einstein Factor: A Proven New Method for Increasing Your Intelligence", by the same Win Wenger as you linked above.

* Win Wenger is always written as "Win Wenger, Ph.D", but I can find exactly one paper from him on Google scholar [0], written solo, written well after he was already publishing books [1].

* The "Reinhart Study" cited by the book is listed on this website [2] with the heading "Reviewers have found that this study was statistically inadequate. Further and better studies are requested, please contact wwenger101@aol.com".

* The author of that not-published paper is listed as "Charles P. Reinert, Ph.D., Dep't of Chemistry/Physics" (not psychology).

* Other works attributed to Win Wenger on that same site are very obviously nuts [3], containing such gems as "It is unclear at this point whether anyone in fractile theory or in interference pattern physics has noticed yet the relationship between these two fields, each of which by itself is and will be totally transforming our understanding of our world and of ourselves within the next decade or so."

In short, Win Wenger appears to be someone without any actual credibility who is nevertheless attempting vainly to forge it. And I can't find any actually credible references to this technique working.

I wouldn't get too excited... the list shows to me that the kids only know about professions they're directly exposed to or repeatedly hear a lot about.

Kinda dumb to ask kids what their ideal profession is when they really only understand about 10 jobs.
This usually doesn't happen, but when it does happen it's my responsibility to fix it since I'm a manager. This can happen when talking to someone from a different department, and outside vendor, etc. Like folks mentioned, this happens when people sometimes get very excited and don't really mean to be rude.
And the USA already wastes 40% of the food it produces [ref: http://vaclavsmil.com/wp-content/uploads/14.FOODWASTE.pdf]. Even ignoring the systemic risks monocropping of GMOs already pose the sheer amount of waste shows theres already more than enough to go around

For the sake of maintaining an equal hiring playing-field (Which is by law in most countries in the western world), It also makes sense to put up pages about devs that are males and other minoritity only hiring pages. But that's if you decide to do such a thing. If it were up to me, I would list developers only by the competence of their technical knowledge and stack choice or whatever it is and nothing else. Which is already equal and fair enough.

So to answer your question:

If you support double-standards based on one's sex then yes.

If not, do not bother.

IMHO, one of the best thing in Apple Maps is that they localized the street names to those one familiar to locals. I live in Bangkok, and Google Maps always say something like “Road No. 3” (which was not wrong, but nobody here calls it that) whereas Apple Maps correctly identify them as “Sukhumvit Road”.
Children will only say they want to be things they are exposed to and understand. Looking at the list for nowadays, it still includes teachers, athletes and musicians, which they see in the media and might be able to imagine themselves doing. It doesn't include things like lawyers and computer programmers, which aren't careers children are particularly aware of, and even if they were they wouldn't fully appreciate. So the story here is simply that astronauts aren't in the media as much as they were during the Space Race and Cold War. Don't think it is anything to worry about - they'll probably change their minds by the time they grow up anyway. And who knows, by the time they grow up there might be new careers that we can't even imagine these days (I can pretty much guarantee that almost no-one would have imagined jobs like "social media influencer" and "machine learning data cleanser" when I was young).
I can't see why not. At the end of the day "Astronaut" is a set of skills and employment.

Why was it terminated? In theory a search engine that merely adheres to Chinese law sounds fine. Give a better product than they already have with the same restrictions they already have.

How long have genetically modified foods been around and common? Did they coincide with a population boom or did most population increase come before the use of genetically modified foods?

Well, the idea is pretty similar to that behind "Women in Tech". Women have long been discriminated in the workplace - and they still are (take the wage gap). A pro-active effort must be made to bring the balance.

It doesn't matter, because I am not arguing against GMO.
>we already are and have been doing it for centuries

Now you're conflating traditional crop breeding such as selection and hybrid breeding with GMO crops, which is dishonest. The article is specifically about GMO crops.

>eat genetically modified food on a daily basis. It's everywhere.

I was surprised how you could possibly believe this, it makes sense only with that overbroad GMO crop definition.

SQL is a very high level of abstraction, to the point where the argument is a bit absurd when compared to a very concrete example of COBOL. Yes, if we had to rewrite everything that utilized SQL then it would take an incalculable amount of effort.

I feel like you're kind of hitting the nail on the head with the Linux kernel bit though -- yes we could replace all uses of the Linux kernel with one of the many alternatives available, but it would take a long time. More likely we'd see a major transition to one of the other available kernels. This is exactly the situation COBOL is in.

All this though -- and I think we're just talking about a semantic difference on the use of "%1 powers the %2". Arguably C, SQL, and Javascript provide the value to users which encourages them to spend their money which encourages further development. So okay, I think I follow where you're coming from. COBOL doesn't power the economy, it's just the most common form of infrastructure for us to extract value from the economy. That sound a bit more correct?

While I understand the issue in general it seems it should be relatively simple to validate that a closed-loop insulin pump is at least no worse. Isn't the objective of the closed-loop to just do finer control? So can't you just have the same hard limits as the normal pump and then allow the potentially buggy software to just fine-tune within a generally safe range?

else if (value == 0)
