I would argue that nothing has significantly changed about cultural norms, except for a widespread acceptance that sexual harassment is unacceptable in the wake of #MeToo.

No, what’s different is that social media allows for decentralized outrage targeting. It can come organically or it can be manufactured by the advertisement-dependent media, autocratic states, PR firms, “social justice warriors”, or other bad actors. That creates the perception of widespread outrage even when its limited to a handful of twitter accounts. But when a few dozen people are so loud you can’t hear the near-silence of everybody else, the rational response is to stop the noise and acquiesce to the outraged, which only gives them more power for the next Internet hate bandwagon.

https://eager.io/blog/a-brief-history-of-weird-scripting-lan... mentions support for multiple languages, including TCL.

And the possibility of scripts is mentioned at least as far back as HTML3[0] in 1996, with the script tag being added as a placeholder element in HTML 3.2[1], and Java applets were already supported.

So while it wasn't there at the very beginning, it's clear the architects of the web didn't consider running code in the browser to be antithetical to its purpose.

First, I think the argument is not against how French citizens deal with this, but how the government is pushing this stuff to begin with.

Second, I'd like to agree with you, I really would.
BUT: After the charlie hebdo and bataclan attacks, seeing...

* completely unopposed état "d'urgence" being prolonged for TWO YEARS when the real urgency was over within a few days
* the way that it was abused [1], and largely not discussed let alone really opposed in public or by my relatively tech savvy colleagues and friends in private conversation
* how some of the most outrageous parts have been made into regular law now
* how we still have military patrolling everywhere
* bag checks at university lecture halls (seen yesterday)
* the vigipirate logo (which looks like straight out of a dystopian scifi comic [2]) plastered all over town
* the kindergarden on my way to work still being surrounded with concrete barriers blocking the parking, to ostensibly (and practically completely irrelevantly, given the geometry of the place) block a car from driving through the fence

after all of that, I have little to no confidence that France is any less prone to a slide into totalitarianism than any other country. :(

Not sure what you're asking me.

No, I'm not brainwashed enough to think that shooting a violent protestor is the same as intentionally starving to death a whole goddamned country.

> Again, I'm willing to be told differently

I guess my point is that you're not going to be told differently, because that information is proprietary. It is not YouTube's habit to go around letting all the curious people know the details of its financials or the inner workings of its decision-making apparatus. You would not expect to be told all the factors that weigh into the feature's development, nor how it's turning out. So the fact that nobody has informed you or publicly announced that demonetization's goals are being achieved is the expected outcome, whether or it is performing as desired.

The only solid evidence you or I have access to is that they are still doing it. That at least strongly suggests that it has some significant benefits from YouTube's perspective, considering all the downsides you so rightly point out.

Milestonehackers Newsletter / Podcast
Hi all,
I am launching my own podcast and case study newsletter targeting SaaS entrepreneurs. The goal is to have conversations that are meaningful, helpful, and interesting so that all entrepreneurs can benefit. I want to target specific milestones that either helped or hindered success and why, so we can all take a page from someone who's already gone through it. At some point, I will be accompanying a forum to the format for easier ways to connect and communicate. I really think this can be something beneficial for all, and its a way I can do my part to help others. If you're interested in subscribing please do so here http://tiny.cc/0f3sdz

Thank you all, this means so much to me, and I hope it will to you as well.

Do you mean that each driver is forced to be single-threaded, somehow? Or just that the drivers are isolated, so they can have as many race conditions as they like, but the microkernel will keep running?

Because I don't see the advantage here. So what if my filesystem driver is isolated, a race condition in there is still going to corrupt all my data and I'm not going to be cheered up by the fact that the kernel can keep on ticking.

I suspect that's because higher LR leads to better exploration of the opt. surface, i.e. it works as an implicit regularizer. The ideal solution would be to develop better regularizers to go with the better optimizers, instead of relying on the noise in the worse optimizer for implicit regularization.
Its true that Cameron won a majority in 2015- he just didn't manage to serve a full term. John Major took over from Margaret Thatcher (and so was unelected) and then despite winning the election in 1992, lost his majority again in 1996.

So yes, it seems shocking, but the last Conservative leader to win an election and then serve a full term of majority government was Thatcher from '83 to '87

>Current technologies are too far behind in speed though.

That depends entirely on the distance traveled; no one is suggesting a replacement of transcontinental flights with trains. But there's plenty of medium and short haul flights (for example) that would be far more comfortable on a train with little difference in total travel time once you've factored airport security overhead.

I'll give you a practical example: my wife and I live in Houston and regularly visit New Orleans. It's a one hour and five minute flight on Southwest which is one of the few airlines that still allow two suitcases per passenger for free. That's a five to six hour drive if I choose to go by car and with rare exception I choose to drive. I'm happy to trade two to three more hours on the road versus the hassle of dealing with the airport.

>Passengers will trade better wifi, food, space, etc, in exchange for longer travel times but only up to a point.

The time to travel between Houston to New Orleans would be two to three hours by high speed train. That's competitive with the Southwest flight and fast enough I'd seriously consider versus driving myself. In fact at those speeds I'd start looking at longer trips either to Mexico, farther West to Arizona, New Mexico or Colorado or farther East to tourist destinations there. At least for me it would increase my travel options and I'd be sure to take advantage over it over flying.
If you want it to be 100% bug free, there's really only one choice. Re-write the kernel in Rust.

You'll be guaranteed to have no race conditions. It's impossible.

HN discussion : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11549536
Filtering any data structure means building up a new filtered copy, not removing from the current one, no?

>>> x = [1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> y = list(filter(lambda n: n < 3, x))
>>> x, y
([1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 2])

Same with trees: No removal is needed for filtering, you could implement it something like:

def filter_tree(f, tree):
filtered_tree = new_empty_tree() # it's useful if this is *not* None!
for element in tree:
if f(element):
filtered_tree.add(element)
return filtered_tree

Regardless, removal of individual, even internal, nodes from trees is of course possible without removing entire subtrees. The details depend very much on the actual kind of tree, but you can start at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_tree#Deletion

The web is "weird" because it's not a platform with a monopoly owner, but the place where platform would-be monopolists fight. Microsoft had a go with ActiveX and lost. Then came back with IE6's incompatibilities and lost again. Adobe had a longer go with Flash and lost. Sun kind of tried with Java applets.

Now we can see the two big vendors Google and Apple trying to slip in features that help their apps or platforms. This is partly why some people worry about the dominance of Chrome; once it's totally dominant, Google can e.g. interfere with adblockers without worrying about losing users to the competition.
That's one way of looking at it.

Another is to think of this as layers of essential services: kernel, memory management, networking services, file services and so on. For a layer to be reliable the layers below it have to be reliable too. Isolating the layers in processes allows for faster resolution of where a problem originates which in turn will help to solve it.

And being able to identify the source of a problem allows for several other options: restart the process, proper identification of a longer term resolution because of the ability to log the error much closer to where it originated.

These are not silver bullets but structural approaches acknowledging the fact that software over a certain level of complexity is going to be faulty.

In my opinion the only system that gets this right is Erlang. (not the language, but the whole system)

> This is fundamentally why it's useless in practice. It requires you to anticipate/predict everything ahead of implementation.

The vast majority don't. I agree, there are some small edge cases where this may be desirable, but these are neither mass market nor have mass appeal. For most use cases it's worse than the existing system by a long way.

That person might want to move into the 21st century and stop complaining about things that changed in the 90s. For instance in the EU we can send between countries effectively instantly and mostly free, with fewer middlemen and fees than a similar transfer using cryptocurrency requires. And even to non EU countries the middlemen and fees are pretty low compared to the multiple fees and less than trustworthy parties you need to involve to transfer money using BTC.

And I'm sorry, but I don't believe BTC is much help to that many people in Venezuela or Hong Kong, I believe these are cryptocurrency-enthusiast's fantasies.

Is any bias towards one gender doing better in the workplace acceptable? If men and women perform equally and we balance outcomes as is a stated goal in many circles, how could a male full-fill their traditional gender norm as a provider?

This HN comment was the first time I've ever heard of anyone talking about 'healthy masculinity' in a context of the phrase 'toxic masculinity'. The entire thrust that I've heard is that having a unique or predominantly male role in society is what toxic masculinity means in practice.

The gender theorists will have their own internal world with a lot of nuance, but the stuff that is leaking out into law and corporate diversity initiatives looks a lot more like true gender blindness. The logical flip side of that, it is quite hard to construct a positive masculine role model. The raw physical differences suggest male strength, but any actual exercise of strength apart from showing off is probably either illegal, uneconomic or low status work (sporting excellence a glaring exception). Compare that to giving birth which is incentivised, an amazing long term economic investment into old age and quite high status (mothers occupy a special place in the world). It is simply a lot easier to construct a positive feminine image than a masculine one in a world where only physical realities make a difference and everything else is expected to be gender blind.

Obviously there are positive roles for males to fill, but the idea that they are masculine in some sense isn't really acceptable. Males can fill them in their capacities as humans, but they can't be distinguished from women. What can 'healthy masculinity' mean in such a world? Adding the word masculine in doesn't add anything. 'Healthy masculinity' is basically 'Healthy femininity'.
