If that's how the survey was worded, it's not super useful. At least with Ubereats, its supposedly not rare for someone to order and then pass out drunk/stoned/unable to go pick up food from driver. In those cases, Uber tells the drivers to do whatever they want with the food.

They have the choice to move elsewhere. Also 8chan can reshape itself to positively serve society if it chose to do so.

The fact that these communities chose to colocate themselves with other dispicable communities is unfortunate, but they've had plenty of time to move elsewhere. They have nobody but themselves to blame for building on a poor foundation.

The rest of your comment is tripe.
No, even when they're 15.

That shirt ten minute time out tells them that their behaviour is wrong and needs to be fixed. It's tied to the actual behaviour that needs to be fixed. It prevents an argument spanning a week.

I don't think anyone expects Google news to be unbiased?

It collates hundreds of sources, many with obvious or subtle bias. If an aggregator puts bias in, they can't provide unbiased out...
Problem with programming - a solution always looks easier when it is already done. Even when a programmer solves a problem, he/she looks at the problem and the solution and thinks: "I have no idea why it took me whole day, it should've taken maybe an hour.". Also, sometimes it's dangerous to leave a programmer alone with the problem - you don't know what they are doing until it's too late.

That is why even the best soloists should try pair/mob programming from time to time. And it is essential to increase visibility in the teams where people work solo/distributed teams. It's okay to shout out in a public chat, group email, etc. of what you're doing, what approach you're going to try, things that unclear to you, what's left, how you'd like to improve it, etc. Don't be afraid to look stupid. It's better than trying to come up with excuses later. Post diagrams drawn on the napkin. Ask your teammates what would they think if you add a library, or remove one. Delayed feature for unknown and speculative reasons never looks good, delayed feature backed-up with your publicly shared notes is always better. Better for you, better for the team.

The best teams operate that way and if a manager cannot create a culture of complete transparency, they'd loose the ability to trust their peers.
Well yes. The best time for women to find a long term relationship is middle 20s. They're done with education and can look for a partner. Unfortunately many women spend these years on frivolous casual dating. They often wake up in their early 30s looking for someone to settle down with. But there's a problem - why would a man go for a 30s woman, if he can still date 25 year old women instead?
> Lisp has minimal syntax

It hasn't. It just works differently.

S-expressions define syntax for data: lists, strings, numbers, symbols, vectors, arrays, ... Plus a bunch of abbreviations (quote, function quote, ...) and some extras (templates, reader control, ...). One can program that part with reader macros.

Then Lisp usually has around three (or more) syntax classes for prefix forms:

1) function calls

2) special forms like LET, ...

3) macros like DEFUN, DEFCLASS, WITH-SLOTS, ...

Special operators and macro operators introduce syntax. See the Scheme manuals or the Common Lisp spec for the EBNF definitions of these syntax operators. This can be simple or relatively complex (LOOP macro would be an example, but also something like DEFSTRUCT, ...). The user can write macros to extend the syntax.

Now if we want infix/mixfix arithmetic, we can embed it via the reader

#i( fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2) )

or as a macro:

(infix fib (n - 1) + fib (n - 2))

Problem: it's not built-in and not that common.

> I’m adding numbers...

Now one would have a bunch of options:

1) live with the Lisp syntax as it is, improve it where possible

2) use syntax extensions for mathematical code, may have tooling drawbacks

3) use a different surface syntax for Lisp or a specialized syntax (see Macsyma and similar)

4) use a different language with the usual mix of prefix, infix and postfix operators

According to Rober Shiller's long term data on the American stock market - from 1871 to 2019 the stock market advanced by 2.323% yearly on average without dividends, and 6.836% yearly on average with dividends reinvested. Both figures after inflation. That amounts to total gains of 2'900% and 1'780'000%, respectively.

Dividends make a massive difference. It's in fact not a secondary but a primary driver of long term profit.
This is great. Nice work!
> I'd imagine the smart developers quickly get replaced by the obedient clock-punchers.

I have never understood why the clock-punching is so a big problem. It doesn't take much time to track your time spent with typical softare, in my experience. And apparently being clock-puncher now makes you dumb as well?

I have personally also tracked time on my personal projects. While not sure if it does bring much value, it is not a huge investment time-wise.
My advice holds for anyone up to the age of about 18.
Calling something fake news is not a punishment (you could construe almost any action done by a president as a punishment for someone under any criteria sufficiently vague as to admit that), and pulling a press pass is hardly a punsihment given how farcical this governments press conferences are. Have any journalists been jailed, murdered, fined, or had a business licence revoked by the state? These things happen, and also in 'civilised' nations like EU member states. If trump has done this I would certainly appreciate knowing so as to criticize the administration for it.
Exactly. To the outside world, for all intents and purposes Cloudflare was their host. Cloudflare's IP addresses served 8chan's content, even held it on their local drives. I don't care (and neither should anyone else) that their primary source of truth was internally hosted elsewhere.

Cloudflare often tries to skirt definitions and would love to be seen as a neutral utility, a simple carrier. They're not though. 8chan was their customer. They hosted their DNS, served their content and potentially took their money (I don't know whether 8chan was on their free plan or not, but again that doesn't matter).
I tried finding out about Ferdinand Porsche some more and I doubt he needed to steal a design for a car, seeing as he has had a highly successful career as an automobile engineer after the war, even winning the 'Car Engineer of the Century' (according to Wikipedia). That is not saying that he didn't steal anything, but I am saying that he had a certain ability. Also, the line between inspiration and stealing in creative pursuits is quite thin.

The 'Nazi' part of your remark does make sense as a valid critique. Then again, many innovations have come out of war and he did go to prison. Although on Wikipedia we can read:

> The innovative 4WD design never raced, but the money it received was used to redeem Ferdinand Porsche from prison.

It feels odd that you can redeem yourself out of prison for taking part in some of humanity's worst crimes. Then again, there are recent examples of horrific crimes against humanity that go unpunished in order to make profits as well, so it is the norm apparently.
Questions:

1. What is "autosaged"? UrbanDictionary was no help… ^__^;

2. By intercept do you mean "notice quickly" or "prevent from arriving/posting"?
They are hashes secured by repeatable cryptography which are stored on a distributed database

The monikers are skeumorphs to be more relatable to a nearest prior elementary concept

Some of those hashes are used for payment, some of those hashes are used for a record of fractional ownership of an enterprise, some of those hashes are used to access a good or service. A credit card company would therefore be misapplying their policy, when there isnt enough information in their transaction detail and also no rationale for charging higher fees for this type of transaction. If any actual risk was higher they should make a third category. Otherwise treat a crypto transaction like any purchase of consumer goods.
Not understanding why this blog is so highly upvoted. It's just poorly written. Someone starting trading on Robinhood is just screaming I'm a financial newbie.

Is the market peaking? With so many clueless entering the market. Where would be the next herd of new blood?
Yeah, this really isn't a good article.
Sweden has a reality TV show whit that very premise and it is called trollhunters. They choose a hate comment and then proceed to locate and confront the author. When done they also sometimes help the target of the hate, by example helping them filling a police report.

The show is followed with vigilantist justice as the people they locate usually end up receiving a lot of harassment from the public, and the benefit of making examples of people has not had any effect in decreasing hate messages online.

An interesting side note is that when you actually go after hate messages online, the gender stereotype of young male start to melt and you get a new stereotype. It is people with a lot of free time and who feel ignored by society. A typical example is thus middle age women.

However turning that hate towards going on a killing spree is unlikely for a middle age woman even if they say things like "someone should go down there and kill everyone", so there is a high rate of noise-to-massacre.
That a crazy person posts a screed somewhere then commits mass murder is not by itself sufficient reason to destroy the forum where they posted their screed. It's not remotely clear to me that 8chan glorified previous mass murders -- of course, I've not looked, but then, Cloudflare doesn't post any evidence of this either. But even 8chan they did, that's essentially what the media is doing every time they give wall-to-wall coverage to any mass murder -- future would be mass murderers may fantasize about being the one the news media talk about next. No one talks about de-platforming CNN. Before we deplatform the 8chans of the world, at the very least we should have some evidence of how they failed to moderate content, and we should give them a chance to fix it.
I sat down one day and wrote some great puns and submitted them to this site. I just checked how many got published. Really disappointed, because it seems that no pun in ten did...

(sorry)
It's necessary to protect against DDOS attacks. The CDN has privileged positioning in the network -- close to the consumer ISPs -- and can block incoming DDOS attacks directly before the traffic flows deeper.
I think I've been ideologically consistent but feel free to continue looking and post any examples where I'm against freedom of speech and individuality. *note when I say freedom of speech and expression I don't necessarily mean unreasonable forced accommodation and celebration and there is a bit of nuance in my opinions

Can you tell what country do you live in?

I live in China, a textbook totalitarian state.

What you say is awfully similar to what CPC puts as their justification of censorship.

The prevailing narrative among the "dotcom" community in the West, and what you have said wrote is very similar to their position.
I'm terrified of deepfakes because they will at some point completely devalue photographic evidence. On one hand, it will make it easier to manufacture evidence and frame people. On the other hand, it will make it easier to get away with stuff despite real photographic evidence by simply blaming it on deepfakes. This is already happening with the whole fake news phenomenon. People's perception of truth will be even more skewed.
It's also the basic premise of punching in Western boxing.
Getting a harsh review stings but the (normally) impartial feedback can be invaluable. I've come to believe that only by learning how to pass your articles by peer review do you learn how to write a good article.
I think you are talking past each other. What was labelled as “bollocks” here is the scientific evidence.
Perfect design for Evilcorp hq.
What evidence do you have that they were "crazy"?

Most people who commit mass murders are not "crazy" - they don't have psychosis, they know what they're doing, they plan the attack.
Do we really need to talk about closing down a site where people encourage each other to kill other people (no matter who does it)? Why is it so important that there are no exceptions to freedom of speech?
Seriously, I just don’t get how the purity of the concept of freedom of speech can be so important that it beats common sense.
I think the writer was trying to write something cute and smart there with that connection, if only it was actually correct.
There are no magical deep fakes that are undecipherable and yet have had any sort of impact.

So you agree that there are deep fakes people can't tell are deep fakes, but now you're saying that's OK because no one has used them in an impactful way yet?
> It is easier to track people being at their desks than diving into the git repository and looking at what got done.

Why not both? Time tracking with tomsething like toggl doesn't take much effort, and you can combine that with reviewing git activity.
Would signing actually help? People who trust "Tru Woke Media TV" won't change their minds just because TWM TV signs their stuff.

Signed "by Washington Post" to prevent fake videos with fake attribution wouldn't be "just signing videos". That requires a source of trust infrastructure like the CAs and a display infrastructure the your green lock in the browserbar. Otherwise people will just ignore "by Waѕhington Post" and mistake it for "by Washington Post"
That's the first time I've ever seen the 2011 riots in London called "Right Wing".

I was in London at the time. They were sparked by the police killing of a drug dealer, rightly or wrongly, and were more chaotic and violent than any sort of political.

Whatever the reaction was in the US, that article just calls it wrong.

--edit-- I think it might be you that's read it wrong, the article is just about US right wing media interests using the London riots to further their political goals in the US.

You might want to take that link off your list, it doesn't support your argument.
I'm sorry, but how can anyone say "what kind" of free speech...? Don't you see that labeling or discriminating between "free speech of type A, allowed" and "free speech of type B, disallowed" defeats the whole notion of "free"? Somehow people tend to think that their own discrimination isn't, while others is.
That's just bad service, not cultural differences...
> For the first couple of years, you fight against this, passionately arguing for genuinely good engineering practices.

I would like to understand why on earth time tracking is against "genuinely good engineering practices".
It’s almost as if it were basic lever physics
> I’ve noticed that if I respond to people’s emails quickly, they send me more emails

And I thought they wanted argue for faster replies...

But I think there is some truth to that. If a task seems overwhelming, it can sometimes help to look back at something you already completed.

I don't have that impression for programming at work, since I have a set schedule anyway, but for projects outside of that the kick-off seems to be the hardest part in awe of all the work before you. But then there is all the projects you already completed, which were mostly labor intensive as well.
In my personal opinion, the size of "all others" matters.

If you have a monopolistic ISP that refuses to provide service to you because they don't like your content, and they're your only option, then that's a problem.

If you have multiple tens of CDN providers and they all don't want to carry your content, then perhaps you should really take a look at your content and have a hard think about why it isn't wanted.

And regardless, a CDN isn't necessary to host a website. A CDN certainly makes it easier to achieve lower-latency global reach, and is useful in helping you weather certain types of attacks on your infrastructure, but they're by no means required. And there are other ways to achieve those goals.

Is “one week of electric scooter rental in Bucharest” the new world currency?
For taxes I use the online version of WiSo Steuer for example: https://www.steuer-web.de These services can pull your records on file from the tax office, so all you have to fill in is any additional items (deductible expenses over the year for example).

I don't know any of the details of how the company made the employment work. If you PM me I will give you the name of our German accounting firm which handled everything.
There are plenty of other companies out there that provide DDoS protection. If they can't find even one that will host them, perhaps they might want to consider the possibility that their content is reprehensible and there's a reason no one wants to do business with them.

If Cloudflare was the only game in town (or close to it), I might be more sympathetic to this argument, but... they're not. Not even close.
My collection is at http://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup .. though not exclusively non-engineers, I find it genuinely useful to recalibrate if stuck for fresh perspective.
> it took them almost a year to add support for 64 bit in APK

While the author's confusion is understandable, because most of the people posting in the linked Github issue have the same confusion, it's always been possible to build a 64-bit APK (and a 32-bit APK). The linked issue is actually about building a single "fat" APK with both 32-bit and 64-bit native libraries in it, which Google Play Store then repackages to have just the needed library for the device it's being downloaded to.

Shipping two separate APKs has always been possible and gives the same end result for just a little more build process work, which is (/should be) automated anyway.

I've been shipping an app like this for some time now, and it's really not a hardship in any way, certainly not one that justifies the amount of hand-wringing in that Github issue.
I like Flutter very much. In some aspects it is much better than native iOS development. But it's far from perfect, so perhaps this post will prompt Google to hire more people to handle issues.

But, it's not like other companies are much better at this. At React Native they just autoclose them after some time. While Apple most likely has more open issues than Flutter but the data is not public.
I agree. We were using a shared Google Sheet in a 5 people team (3 devs, 1 manager and 1 product owner).

Worked great. However, not sure if it is "scalable" when more people join.

Yes. 5 options on Android and on iOS? Because if Windows had to, they should too.
Playing Devil's advocate: The glassy skyscrapers are a good design because you ignore them. So it's like they don't exist.

On a more serious note, this is kinda of an isolated part of Boston city. It's a port that requires crossing the bridge. The bigger problem is that they are building huge buildings with no connection to the subway/metro network.
Benchmarking is hard and the best combination of configuration settings for one benchmark, measurement one property (e.g. run-time or branch-misses) might not be useful for another benchmark.

If we look for example on disabling turbo-boost (the first point on the list in the article), then there is some evidence that this might increase the variance of benchmarks that measure the amount of cache references. This might also be the case for dropping the file system caches.

The same can be seen for disabling address space randomization: It seems to increase the variability when measuring the wall-clock but decreasing the variability when measuring the number of branch misses.

Furthermore setting the process priority or the CPU governor might not have any effect at all. Setting the process priority might even increase the variability of your measurements due to e.g. priority inversion.

Setting the CPU affinity, preferably using CPU sets (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/cpuset.7.html), seems to be helpful most of the time, but only really plays out if your benchmarking system is running other resource intensive processes.

On a busy system disabling turbo boost might increase the variability of your benchmarks too.

For the evidence: I ran the lean4 benchmarking suite with different environment configurations multiple times and looked at the standard deviation, a presentation covering the results can be found at https://pp.ipd.kit.edu/~bechberger/2m.pdf.

Overall the best environment setup seems to really depend on the state of your benchmarking system, the benchmarks themselves and the properties you focus on.

P.S.: Three configurations that are not in the article but can be helpful are preheating your CPU with CPU bound task (thermal capacity of CPUs…), letting your system rest quietly between the program runs, syncing the file system and disabling the swap.
P.P.S.: An automatic environment configuration selector is currently being developed for temci (https://temci.readthedocs.io/en/latest/, I'm its author), this will help tailoring the configuration to your setup and benchmarks.
> Completely insignificant

Agree to disagree. For most people it's probably the most important criterion, a make or break. It's why so few people go for the business services. SLAs cost. And without SLAs you get to learn that "0" is also "up to xxx Mbps" for example

The problem is companies like Comcast, AT&T and the likes champion low quality services for high prices because consumers have 0 protections.
I think the writer has confused themselves while attempting to simplify some of these concepts. Instead they should have accepted the financial market is complicated and cannot be condensed into a single blog post.
