The best part of the joke is that this is somewhat plausible. It would be relatively simple to write a package that threw in a “nocite” of your leadership’s key papers so they show up in the references even if you don’t cite them in your paper.

The translate package could be implemented with Google Translate or similar. The INTERCAL language required saying “please” in your code, something similar could be done for the boast package. I bet someone sufficiently motivated could make a decent stab at most of these, except for the award and accept packages. Some might require a few config options though.
> Wirecutter sometimes recommends (on commission!) products in categories they specifically recommend against buying, like SFF PCs!

Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Listing the best of the category, while also rating the category as a whole, means they're going above and beyond on what their job is! It's not a moral failing that their recommendations come with the context of "inside the category", that much should be obvious. And they can't tell you which products are """objectively""" worth your money, either.
I mean, yeah it's real - that's not under suspicion. Is Jordan - Amazon FC Ambassador (with a free stock photo as his avatar) real?

Replying to "I also am required to enjoy things. I like laughing and having fun. It is agreeable to me." with "I like smiling!"

Or "Post literally anything from this account if you're being forced to do so against your will by your boss." with

"My boss is awesome! He’s great. I asked him if I could do this and he said sure!"

all seems really tongue-firmly-in-cheek.

You are mixing languages with implementations.

If CPython devs would care as much as Common Lisp, Dylan, Scheme, Smalltalk, JavaScript, Julia, it surely wouldn't be as slow.

There are PyPy, TrufflePython and OpenJ9 Python, they all suffer from the stigma of not being CPython.
Not a viable wage in Southern CA these days; have not seen an ad at that rate in any case.

Guess the gist is that bottom of the barrel jobs have easier interviews. I could buy that.

That's conspiracy thinking. The NYT covers a lot of negative stuff about a lot of prominent companies because it's interesting to readers. You haven't even demonstrated that Amazon gets coverage out of proportion to its scale [1], let alone that it's unduly negative. And if you did, you still wouldn't have any evidence that it's part of some sort of high-level conspiracy.

Therapy, the universal panacea.

What about just talking to each other, like a normal family? I'm happy my parents didn't insist on therapy anytime anything happened.
Screen time can be had on the cheap, because your parents are paying for Wifi and the phones anyway, and you're on the family Netflix and some other streaming service, or using a friend's. Malls are dying, expensive, and flocks of teens are no longer welcome. Wandering around the Target, the Walmart, or the quirky knicknack store works, if you can get a ride. You spend money on eating out with your friends on occasion.

On the screens, you watch shows, memes, videos, streams, but also interact with your real-life circle and online friends. Your real-life circle overlaps with people at your school, so you can never truly disconnect: time away from school doesn't pause the happenings of the same social environment, and time away from your phone will just make you seem more withdrawn the next day. You can't ever quite get away from them. Then, the people you know from online are a mixed bag: the fans, the creeps, the randoms, a few popular people who replied when you reached out, the more professional influencers who who didn't, and a small number of people you know through a stroke of luck who share a common interest and you've become friends. These online friends are probably really far away, you may never get a chance to meet them, and their lives are probably just as chaotic as yours.

Online, you also read various slants on world events, culture, and justice. People in your circles share tidbits and their takes. You realize people treat each other like garbage, that some people can get shot at little fault of their own and police are rarely held accountable, half the country wants to curtail some people's rights, and the planet's warming and melting. None of these are insurmountable, but it's easy to be swept up in the outcry about these, conclude (immediately, or through later disenchantment) that there's little one can do to personally to bring about meaningful change, and be left with a pessimistic outlook on the world.
I'm also sceptical that the recently proposed diets of fruits, vegetables and nuts actually work out. AFAICT it's an outstanding problem in nutrition science concerning how many of the calories in nuts that humans are able to digest. And yet it seems like the proposed diets just assume "all calories are equal". I've seen reports from journalists who have tried following those diets saying they were constantly hungry.
Of course it is arbitrary, just like every other moral compass out there ultimately is (as far as has been demonstrated).

Practically, we already have a decent idea what "wellbeing" and "suffering" mean. That means we can use them as our axiom even if the understanding is not perfect.

If you waited for perfection, you'd be stuck doing nothing forever for the fear that it's immoral.

We can still use science to examine where our axioms lead, and see if we still agree with the projected outcomes. Then we may have a reason to modify the arbitrary starting point.
Agreed. It does happen, but it's an exception not the rule.

I spent my first 7 years out of college building business intelligence software for grocery retailers. My guess is that when it happens, it's a f-up rather than something nefarious. Especially with Amazon, whose seller interface is pretty much user-hostile.
It’s a clever strategy, and I think anyone who’s touched a computer in the last decade sympathizes. It’s terribly maddening how impervious these tech megaliths are as individuals or small business.

What’s funny is that interactions between large tech companies can be very fluid in my experience. I guess there’s not a big power discontinuity in the big to big case...
There’s no hope of understanding the DOM with React...

You can still understand the DOM in a React driven app though. The component output is there for anyone to read. I do that every day. All React is doing is generating DOM content and then working out the smallest update necessary when the state changes. The problem that React Devtools addresses is that it's the component output that's there, not the components themselves. There's more information behind the scenes, and that is what React Devtools lets you peek in to.

It does help, but still leaves me thinking the tradeoffs weren’t worth it.

You have to reason about the way you write code, what your apps need, and what works best for your users. If the tradeoff is that using React's features means you can no longer work with the complexity of what's happening in the browser and that's slowing down your development process then don't use React. Your development process and your users are way more important than any framework.
Just to summarize (warm up those downvotes...):

* “almost certainly more” than 84% of stripe’s emissions will not be sequestered because it’s “financially infeasible”

* no mention of stripe’s actual carbon footprint

* talk of startups and trillion dollar industry “by the end of the century” but no mention of government intervention / green new deal to turn the tide in the next decade before it’s too late

Verdict: free market ideologues are not ever going to be leaders on climate. We need massive mobilization at the federal level to hit the necessary emissions reductions within the next 12 years if we are to avoid a catastrophic rise in temperature.
Then try to write Metal shaders in Objective-C.
Relentlessness doesn’t mean “keep doing the same things you always did forever and get your fantasy life”. It means “pick one game, keep playing even when you have every reason to think you already lost the game, and you just might win it”.

No disrespect, I don’t want to diminish the utter torture that is chronic pain, but nothing you mentioned sounds like it’s preventing your SO from maintaining a posture of relentlessness every day until she dies.

It might not be what she wants, it would probably destroy her relationships and her mind, it would probably require her to do things that she abhors, but the door is still there.
The parody accounts are pretty obvious. The really disturbing stuff comes from the real ones.
Any method in scale of over 1% impact is earth shattering, as we need just 100 such things to save the world. Even 0.1% “market share” target would be awesome. It is a complex problem and it is resolvable by hudreds, maybe thousands small remedies, not one big bang.
One of the few times in my life where I have palpable anxiety is when I go for on-site interviews. Most other things I'm a cool cucumber. I think there is something to having feelings but not recognizing what they are, but there is also the other side which is people are different and different people feel things more keenly than others.
Yes that is a good idea, at least nice food for thought.

Not sure why you're being downvoted though (judging from the light color of comment) as your comment definitely isn't off topic.
I started an online subscription business from Malaysia
When I was in school (computers were running Win 95, I believe), I discovered a lot of nice software like NetSeven and BackOrifice, and I infected the school computers with it. Then I would play tricks to my school mates by displaying a lot of modal dialogs, or something. I never did anything nasty and that sort of programs did not autoreplicate or infect other media, but in hindsight it was quite irresponsible, especially because I did not manage to deinfect the computers when leaving the school. Fortunately nobody ever seemed to find out.

I've also seen that people are losing ability to tolerate each other in relationship.

Every relationship advice offered on internet sounds like, "he is abuser, breakup now" and people are assumed as perfect who make one mistake and they have to be walked out of your life.

There is also rise of movements like Femminism and MGTOW.

A lot of females are now career focused and have no time to maintain relationship. A few are able to manage both at once. But many come out for dating when they are in 30s and they are confused like "I am educated and indepdent girl, why guys aren't interested in me". Men don't seem to value a women with career as much as females would like, they find it favourable yes but it's extremely weak.

Sometimes back I read in study that younger couples have more attractive kids and the kids who are product of love marriage are more attractive than those of arranged marriage.

Now, I can see why it could be that because when we are younger we are more superficial, we are more optimistic, more shallow and as we've less disappointments under our belt (due to less experience) we aim for most good looking and those who are able to succeed (maybe because they are themself good looking?), obviously end up with good looking partner and it can also be possible that reproductive process is better (less errors?) when we are younger.

Women also have very high standards when it comes to dating, they want too 10-15% men in looks and they compete for them. In such system, obviously the men who are in demand will see that they are rare and will exploit the opportunity and many women will be disappointed.

Repeated failures can also lead a person to depression and anxiety.

Plus, lot of people look at Instagram and find perfect looking people and start thinking of themselves as inferior. Attractive people are rare 1 in 1000 looks stunning without makeup or other camera effects. This rate could be higher in developed economies due to proper nutrition received throughout life and better healthcare facilities. It also depends on individual's and their family's awareness. But it's not a hard rule, people marry quite late in developed countries which can lead to unattractive kids.

Just looking at the number of people subscribing to those groups on Reddit, seems alarming.

A lot of people just do what internet tells them to do.

Kids often say, "leave it, you'll not understand" instead of making you understand what their problem truly is.
I am biased towards hot chocolate and duvet nests and against TV programs presented by people with sunglasses on the top of their head. Am I a monster?
Yep. Probably IBM Data Transform Services™️ installed in the cloud plus a custom plugin written to do the ordering. That’s a few folks to deploy and configure the server. A few more for the engineering. Oh and there’s probably a support contract to support and maintain this new “solution”.
What would happen if every search engine out there each put in a bid of 0 (zero) dollars?
I would rather we focus on cutting down the rest of the 90% of emissions than the natural emissions which have been occurring since before the industrial revolution messed it up.

There is a fine balance in nature and maybe cows are the wrong place to experiment.
Thanks nick. I’ve been trying to but the updates are never reflected :(
Hiring an engineer (and by that I assume you mean someone who has the bulk of their experience as a software engineer) as CISO is exactly the opposite of what a company should do. Security is absolutely not the same skill set as software engineering, and it's a huge misconception that people equate infosec with programming. Security engineers of course should be programmers, but an enormous amount of work that goes into infosec has absolutely nothing to do with code, and this is especially true for someone high up in management ranks like a CISO where their entire job is dealing with bureaucracy.

Hiring an engineer to be a CISO would be like choosing a biologist to give you surgery instead of a surgeon. Yes, a biologist probably knows a lot about the nitty-gritty of how bodies work, but knowing how the body works and knowing how to perform surgery on a body are two very, very different things.

That guy's LinkedIn looks more than qualified to be a CISO, and is certainly more qualified than the vast majority of CISOs I worked with in my career as a security consultant. And on top of all that, he has a degree in computer engineering and has prior experience as an engineer, so I have no idea why you're claiming he isn't an engineer.
Apple only cares about privacy insomuch as it makes them money. In the West privacy is marketable, and in China it's not. It's as simple as that.
The article was about how we have changed food plants mostly via selective breeding (and grafting), so my point on fertility was in regard to the crop. Cavendish bananas are a good example of selective breeding gone wrong, and eliminating seeds in citrus fruits is also problematic.

GMO from a human health point of view is entirely different issue, and I agree that it is poorly understood as far as long term effects. They also need to do better to quarantine the GMO from the possibility of cross-breeding before long term studies are completed.

At the same time climate change is an issue which is where GMO could have value such as making some crops more resistant to drought or frost as our weather patterns become more variable and bioregions shift. While this may require venturing outside of a genus which is the limit of where you can go with breeding/grafting you're not going to be venturing too far. Personally I do disagree with GMO programs such as herbicide resistance as that's something else again.

Maybe GMO should be something left to Government approval and funding where short-term profit making doesn't play into how soon a new plant variety is released?

And for better transparency we treat each GMO not as a variety but as a new breed with a new name?
Well yes, if you want to play in China, you play by its Government's rules. It's either that or you go home. This hopefully isn't a surprise to HN readers.

In the US, Apple has no requirement to backdoor/censor their software for the US government, and we've seen lots of evidence that supports that is indeed the case.
This article reeks of a SEO tarpit.

TLDR: Apple is obeying Chinese law, which right now means no VPN apps in their Chinese app store. Then 3500 words of SEO fluff.
No, in China, privacy is simply illegal. Apple is not more powerful that the laws and governments of the countries they operate in.
You can't throw a wifi-enabled juicer 5 feet without hitting half a dozen companies that are trying to be 'technological catalysts'. You're giving extra credit for unproven rate of return, which I'd still argue won't amount to meaningful change unless the political status quo is aggressively challenged.

The reason you spent $Xmil on a PAC is the same reason we (inclusive, hopefully) vote. Will one significantly contributor turn the tide? Probably not. But it requires good (corporate) citizens to put up or shutup instead of leveraging a tweak on a pet environmental project to gain a positive press cycle.
What you call lock in, we in the industry call productivity of being able to use SDKs not stuck in 80's UNIX world, full of endless extensions.

Instead of shouting from a soap box that no one cares to listen to, get Khronos to actually provide a 21st SDK tooling.

Then Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo (Vulkan is 2nd class on the Switch), Apple, Hollywood and all their partners might care.

Until then, the wind takes it all.

Don’t know what your hardware is, but there are libraries that can do some computations in parallel.

You’ll want to look into using a parallel backend in R. It will depend on the system architecture.

As for libraries that may help potentially, speedglm, biglm,

There’s also some options from bioconductor: https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/data/experiment/vi...

You could also try glmnet with a parallel backend.

That is an unfair blow. What can you do as an individual in an organization that does not value security and sees it as a sunken cost? I found myself in that position multiple times and I am a sysadmin not security guy. I have no formal responsability in that position and no incentive for covering my ass. But I still have fights with management about it.
That AI doesn't have an agreed upon definition doesn't mean that we can say it is whatever we want to say it is!

For example, you may perhaps argue (at a very big stretch) that travelling salesman is an AI problem- that's arguing on the details. But to claim that all of AI is reducible to one sub-sub-field of AI, deep learning? That's just ignoring the fact that there is an entire research field that is commonly called "AI", with conferences and journals that have "AI" in their name, that are not about deep learning, with many thousands of researchers who consider their work "AI" and who do not work with deep learning, not to mention the 50 or so years and the mountain of work that this field considers its own, that also is not about deep learning.

Essentially it is covering earth with special clouds. Main problem here is that you can never remove them, if you keep things on earth unchanged then over decades of our everincreasing energy consumption and co2, methane etc production you just need more and more such protection, until the sun and blue sky is never seen. It is not resolving the problem, it is just hiding it more and more.
The biggest and (maybe) the only problem are the incentives for LEO to manipulate proof to jail /convict innocent people. Even an arrest can ruin your life, let alone trial, regardless of outcome.

It’s not. Even in their own time, the Spartan bullshit was a myth pushed by themselves. Some civilizations such as the Chumash in what is now Los Angeles worked as little as 8 hours per week in order to survive.
Some of what I've built is currently in prod at a very large scale (which honestly is a bit freaky). Depends on the particular project though. Our team very rarely hands stuff off to SWEs (although they frequently code review); for the most part we implement everything ourselves.

Maybe you run a different kind of website or ask different kinds of questions, but despite being able to measure all kinds of things, there's so much at my job that you need experimentation for. You do the observational study, and it points in this direction. Sometimes it's true and sometimes it's not. Selling this kind of observational analysis as 'you don't need A/B tests anymore' is totally disingenuous.
