The real tragedy here is how invested millions of people are in national-level politics, yet ignore city and county-level politics which actually has the biggest impact on their daily lives. And that's where the average person realistically has the power to actually make a difference.

It's really sad to think how much progress we could make if those same people who are so outraged about Trump or whatever on Twitter were just as passionate about their local government.
I'm not sure what you're suggesting then - we should train all pilots to be uniformly brilliant at everything so there's no variation and we can use any pilot to test, before we test any more aircraft?

I also won’t support racism or homophobia in public figures. But I’d also add (big-S) socialism to the list. In terms of deaths caused and prosperity foregone, socialism is right up there in terms of “actually hurting real people.” How many fewer babies would be dead in India or China had those countries embraced market mechanisms decades earlier? That’s a quantifiable harm, and it's massive.

But I suspect many people would agree with two of mine, but not the third. So that brings me to the question: how do you decide what’s intolerable? Harm can’t be the only criteria because many genuinely held positions are so held because people believe that other approaches will hurt real people. And who gets to decide what falls into the category of “intolerable ideas?” People don’t usually express comic book villain versions of those ideas. Who is racist--Harvard, or the asians suing it over its admission policies?

In response to your edit: defining tolerance in terms of effect on marginalized groups is admirable, but it leads to somewhat paradoxical results. Ideas that hurt a broad segment of society are tolerable, while ideas that affect fewer people are intolerable?
You could take a 2-step approach, where you first take the "fuzzy" approach, and then later try to correct for possible oversights (which is just simple bookkeeping).

> Why should you need to ask him that when you wrote it?

I'm asking him that because if he wants to debate a point I made, he should understand what point I've actually made. It's clear he didn't understand my point.

> There's no other interpretation than "Rosetta Code has better content than Programming-Idioms". It's impossible for him to miss that.

De facto there is another interpretation, because ravenstine didn't interpret it that way. You would think that it would be impossible for him to miss that, but it's apparent that he did miss that.

> And it is indeed debatable.

"Rosetta Code has better content than Programming Idioms" is certainly debatable, but if you wanted to debate that, wouldn't it make sense to start by comparing something from Programming Idioms to something from Rosetta Code? He didn't bring up Programming Idioms at all--the only site he compares Rosetta Code to is completely irrelevant (Stack Overflow). I'm not sure what point he's debating, but it's certainly not "Rosetta Code has better content than Programming Idioms".

No. Everyone is allowed to say it, unless it's clear from the context that they are literally threatening violence. In this case, quite the opposite is true. The author of that statement says in the next paragraph that they want the powerful people at MIT turned out if necessary to get rid of Stallman.

I mean, come on, the person who said this was a real threat against MIT wasn't serious. Surely you can admit that.

This is why I've been practicing "strategic disengagement." Mostly, reading the news is not informative. Modern news is full of talking points pushed by whichever special interests are the best funded. It does not need to represent reality or truth especially well. The most important thing is not to tick off advertisers, owners, and the tribe of people that identify with the outlet.

And even if you could be truthfully and accurately informed? In a country of tens or hundreds of millions, these decisions are made by an extremely select few with vast wealth or great influence. I have met a few of these people and I know how the sausage is made. The rest of us are grist for their mills.

For most people, paying attention to any of this nothing more than rooting for their favorite sports team.

Absolute game changer. We are witnessing the birth of "Big Code"

From the paper, it's not really clear how the resulting binary or intermediate representation fits into the picture? Wouldn't a robust model have to exploit features of the underlying computer architecture as well?

Besides the possible applications mentioned such as recommendation systems and code generation. I am wondering about automatic code annotation and documentation. With the eventual goal of creating a "code tutor" that would assist students in real-time as they type. I think what's interesting about this is that the most talented CS grads tend to have a high correlation with deep understanding not only of the history of digital logic design, but also math, physics etc.

Fantastic work ;)

So one has to tcpdump to observe the sub flows?

> But, naturally, there are users who want their unmodified binary programs to start using MPTCP once it's available. There is a working, if inelegant, solution to this problem. A new control-group hook allows the installation of a BPF program that runs when a program calls socket(); it can change the requested protocol to IPPROTO_MPTCP and the calling application will be none the wiser.

Uhhhhh!
Interesting that the article treats this as a ‘trend’—but doesn’t mention Waldorf schools, which have done this around the world for 100 years. When my daughter attended Waldorf preschool, she spent the majority of her day outdoors. All year round.
What you're saying:

Google, a multi-billion dollar corporation that owns most of the browser and search market share, a company that dictates the next transport-layer protocol we will use - this company struggles to design a session-handling mechanism that would out-compete an ugly hack that Netscape ductaped to HTTP in mid-90s.
Are you kidding me?! Here in Chicago we have enormous financial problems and every year that goes by brings us further away from even attempting to fix those problems. The streets are falling apart, crimes go unsolved, pollution goes unpunished. The candidates for mayor are always first chosen by the elite, then put on stage for the public to select. It’s a joke.

If anything, it’s even easier for the powerful elite to control local governments. Look at all the polluted water flowing through lead pipes across the country — what’s happening about that again? Excuse me, time to print some money and give it to the banks in another nightly “repo operation”.
Gotcha. I read it differently. I thought you were saying that because they were hiding on the jungle it was hard to fight them.

The Colombian Military is probably the best military when it comes to fighting in this terrain.
if you have the opportunity to observe wechat payment in china, it will make a lot more sense.

payment in a chat application right now is the best way to bring electronic payments to everyone. because within that chat application you already established trust with your communication partner, and using the same tool to exhange payments thus builds on that trust and reduces the chances for fraud. (it does not eliminate fraud, but when making payments to a known entity, i can trust that the payments go to the right place)

this is independent from using a blockchain to do that, or facilitating payments in regular currency. the principal is the same. payments across an existing chat system are simply easier to trust than payments across a new wallet where i have to make sure that the wallet target actually match who i want to send money to.

Thats fine, the way it will come to pass is some people wont trust crypto and stick with traditional currency.

The crypto that will win, will be the one that people adopt to a higher frequency over traditional currency because it will bring them more value over time. Then the ones who will be upset at this will be the ones who benefited from the inefficiencies of the prior monetary system, which by its very nature was prejudiced.

Living Animals (1999)
You can probably let them speak for themselves.
Some thoughts that spring to mind:

The first step to becoming more diverse is acknowledging the lack of diversity.

To get diversity more effort needs to happen in reaching out, most people don't do this because it requires extra work. As you mentioned, many people feel these things are not for them. Or perhaps they lack the confidence/skills/bravery to take things or even to enquire about the investment.

I saw the founders of Code Untapped give a talk the other week. They run hackathon/meetups and they are always experimenting and changing the times of them to try to reach more people who otherwise might not be able to attend.

And if you want to reach a diverse audience have diversity in your team, easier said than done, I know. But if you do things like Venture Partners, you could make a point of only having Venture Partners who are minorities. But also be prepared for white males to kick up a stink if you do this <--- I see this a lot!
I don’t have deep knowledge of the security architecture here but, in general the key doesn’t need to be compromised to retrieve data in secure systems.

What prevents unauthorized firmware from requesting that the Secure Enclave decrypt all data? Similar to having control over an HSM - you can’t extract the key but you can perform cryptographic operations.
> I just catch-up on the news once a week to avoid thinking about it too much.

For most people, you can probably stretch that. Catch up once a month, then catch up once every three months, then six, or twelve. Most people I've spoken too feel much better when they just quit "news".
we are in violent agreement.
It's always funny how people try to make the distinction between "people" and everything else.

Other animals don't have feelings. Oh wait, other animals cannot think. Oh wait, other animals don't use language. Oh wait, other animals don't use 'true' language.

Same with computers. Computers can never defeat humans in chess. Go is too complex for computers, and so humans are better.

Sometimes we even have to change the definition a bit to still keep the distinction between 'us' and the rest of the animals and objects.

Very strange.

And if you think humans are the only animals that can be deliberately cruel, you should watch some chimp documentaries.
It's not illegal to be a creepy weirdo. I don't recall hearing of any behavior from Stallman that was illegal, just merely socially inappropriate or weird.

That doesn't mean it MUST be 100% tolerated in all capacities though - many organizations might not want to have a creepy weirdo without social graces as their president.

I don't have a personal opinion if Stallman should have been pressured to resign from the FSF or MIT it not, it's not my place to judge. I admit I've never been a fan of his though - he's always come off as incredibly grating to me.
Maybe they would be a better candidate for uplift than dolphins then? We could start out by fixing their lifespans (apparently it's a surgically resolvable problem, see [0]), and seeing what happens.

You’re assuming I would endorse this as a good approach in Python in the real world.

I was merely trying to show how to quickly emulate the Haskell example with less code in Python. Both the Haskell approach and asserting on types in Python seem like wastes of time to me personally, and I’d rather just have copyFile by itself and consenting adults can pass the args they want to pass. Use unit tests to make sure you’re not passing paths the wrong way.

Also, what’s with the attitude? “You know how to complicate something very simple” (from ~15 lines of Python?) — geez, you must be a joy to work with.

"Prepare for unforseen consequences."
You are trying to argue logically when the reasons are heavily emotional. It is like trying to stick a round block in a triangle slot. Humans are emotion and logic, sympathy and empathy of why people feel this way is crucial if you want to have a conversation around it. We wouldn't be human if we all just turned off emotions and operated via strict logical statistics...
Yes, but it shows that people will do a lok of shady things in attempt to capture the reins of control.
At the moment you have rather educated in crypto people using crypto.
You don't have to think hard as to what happens when majority of people have their say on things they have no idea about (appeal to emotion /emotional manipulation).
You could test on GH and MS's own private repos to get some idea of the performance. These might still not be representative but it would be an interesting data point.
It is politics in a literal defacto way of supporting it more than literal open rebellion of the "rather be in jail than support this". Said position is very radical and has seldom been taken much less effective. I think the closest example I heard of involved the Japanese Burakumin's simple request to not be called a euphemism after their excluded enclaves instead of a slur which translates roughly to "an abundance of filth/defilement" in exchange for paying taxes after they were previously shunned even from that. Ironically said outcast status was apparentlynonce a /privledge/ or blessing apparently.

Anyway It is so embedded into the norms that it is uncontentious and a divergence is considered "political". So objectively concretely true but perhaps not connotationally in the same way an uninduced miscarriage is technically an abortion and including all miscarriages in abortion rate statistics would be considered deliberately misleading without explicit characterization that the technical sense was meant such as tracking all pregnancy end conditions by percentage.
Many of the home users who were buying $3000 base model cheese grater Mac Pros could get by now with a 6-core i7 Mac Mini.

Price would be around $1300 for the computer, $300 for an eGPU enclosure, and $700ish for a Radeon R7, plus aftermarket RAM. AMD's not in a great spot for high end GPUs right now, but when the Navi 23 cards land next year it will be looking better.

This doesn't scale as well for multi GPU machine learning workloads and Apple needs to get over their shit with Nvidia, but as a lower end "modular" Mac than the $6000 cheese grater 2019, it's an option.
Nit, but the key point is that it preserves forwards compatibility.

> Svelte has not yet received the attention it deserves. When it is mentioned, the focus is typically on its ability to produce bundled code that is significantly smaller than the alternatives. However, Svelte makes many tasks easier, including defining components, managing component state, managing application state, and adding animation.

Under the "Why Consider Svelte?" it only mentions bundle size and performance.

CVE-2019-12648: Cisco iOS Vulnerability Has a CVSS Score of 9.9
Apple can and should block this by fixing the bug allowing rotating provisioning profiles to bypass the three app limit.

Nor do I expect they would or should try to "let this slide" due to the fear of antitrust investigation. Hacker News loves to deploy the walled ecosystem FUD, but given the iOS security model has proven itself technically absent any consideration of trustbusting, I expect them to stand on their convictions and fight the antitrust battle head on, not death by a 1000 pinpricks.

Encourage folks to learn more technically and use the developer tooling as is, then you can sideload whatever you want!!! Beyond that, it's not that hard: Don't abuse developer-facing tooling & workflows to allow consumers to do stupid things.
GoodRx is coming for subscription prescription
You're talking about the guy who, in the email thread that "ended" him, complained that he can't read a link because the site doesn't work with OSS technologies.

He's extreme in following his dogma. If he believes "they" is plural in nature, he will refuse to use that as a singular - and that is not because he disrespects you, but because he thinks "this is the right thing to do".

If you believe it's fair to have a particular personality that requires other persons to call you "they".... doesn't it follow that it's fair to have a particular personality that makes you feel very bad about "misusing English"? It's really two sides of the same coin, if you believe a person has the right to decide what pronouns he's comfortable being called, you must also believe a person has the right to decide how he uses a particular pronoun. The essential thing here is that RMS doesn't avoid "they" out of disrespect, but out of his own particular weirdness/ peculiarity... something that we should be able to respect.

Could this be solved by weighting things that are generally popular less while learning? E.g. if you like a super popular Anime, say DragonBall, it doesn't mean that you necessarily like Anime. But if you like some super niche Anime it's more likely that you would enjoy more of that. Because why would you have found and enjoyed that without some specific interest?
Sure. I'm queer and have never personally dealt with violence because of who I am. But my community is definitely stressed by politics. You are saying that politics has no major impact on the broader Latinx community that could cause stress?
