I guess they won't know what business they're losing 'cos they won't know people are leaving the site because of that specific issue.

If they're on the ball, their tracking might be good enough that they can see people leaving on that step and try to zoom in on that problem area.

If they're really good, they might spot they get no sales from users with a certain resolution and try it out for themselves.
Spend 5 minutes flattering the king, and benefit from the outsized rewards from it.

Sure. The first time. But the king isn't stupid. He'll make you more and more subservient until eventually you'll be flattering him for bread and lentils else you'll be put in prison. People in power do that a lot.
This is actually fascinating (even if it may not be the behavior we expect from our elected leaders). He did the same thing in June where he gave a completely baffling interview [1] about how his hobby was painting models of buses out of used fruit crates.

But people suspected [2] then that it might be a similar strategy, to monopolize the results for "boris johnson bus" searches.

I wonder why nobody else is willing to do this? It seems like it works, and it keeps you in the news...

I can attest that notifications which doesn't force you to take immediate, real-time action has productivity and may be even mental health benefits.

I have struck an old android wear watch to the front of the computer desk just to see the notifications from my smartphone. So when the notifications arrive, I can see it on the watch like a pager and it has cut my need to touch the smartphone for notifications which could potentially lead into a rabbit hole.

Yes a smartwatch on hand can do these as well, but reaching to it will likely lead to smartwatch rabbit hole. I use the smartwatch on the desk as read only, no actions.
> the English "glass" is "glas" in Swedish, but the Swedish "glass" is "ice cream" in English

I feel the urge to speculate that Swedish "glas" comes down from proto-Germanic, while "glass" is a loan from French "glace".
What are you talking about? Warranty implies that the manufacturer foots the repair bill.
I didn't try Crystal, but Nim is definitely on par with C.

Actually you can use just plain (stack) objects and ptr object and you have no GC involved.

Pass the flag -d:useMalloc (or just call your preferred allocator) and you have the full C experience and speed.
Don't bring sjw terminology into this.

There would certainly be competition for resources, the same that we see across any kind of genetic/ideological/political divide. It's the inherent outcome of multiple entities competing for finite resources. Labelling it racism is about as laughable as calling ant colony wars racism, and shows a deep misunderstanding of the issues that surround actual racism.

I had the same experience on DO as well as a few other providers.

Changing the ssh port to something in the 50_000 range drastically reduced the number of attempts and left my logs much cleaner :).
that would be pretty cool but to have that, you need a high-network-latency solution, i.e., pretty much cold back-up. For some time I thought it's pretty last century option but having been experimenting for some time now, it's the option with lowest impact on system performance. More importantly, it's reasonably resilient.

Google no longer owns SketchUp. They bought and then a few years later sold it.

I have not used OnShape but Sketchups's win at the time was ease of use not features.

It's a good thing even if I can't use it directly.

Well, that would allow you to call the function, but now you can't write the body of the function without reflection: you can't iterate over an interface{}, and you can't cast a []struct (edit) wrapped in an interface{} (/edit) to a []SomeInterface, so you're back to square one.

RH and Docker do not get along well. Combining the two companies would probably be difficult.
At first glance, this appears to be similar to languages like MiniZinc (https://www.minizinc.org/) and maybe AMPL (https://ampl.com/). That is, you describe a problem in some form of constraint-based programming language, and you send it to a solver to find the solution.

Am I understanding this correctly? Or am I missing something? What are the differences between Sentient and MiniZinc etc?
This article is biased, opinionated and littered with unsubstantiated facts, which I guess makes it an opinion piece.

The facts are that the UK has almost no manufacturing base, lags behind even smaller EU countries in various modern intellectual property endeavors, and greatly benefits from the free flow of goods and services from the continent.

The author is correct in pointing out that Brexit won't be the disaster everyone makes it out to be, but it will cause a systemic and gradual decline in the GDP and living standards of the British people - and cosying up the US will come with its own set of problems.
His first collection, Stories of Your Life and Others is also excellent. They don't technically fit the description of hard comp-fi, but they have a similar sensibility, even when they're dealing with magic and religion (which makes sense--his day job is technical writing).

They talked about this on John Olliver. They had a bizarre interview where he brought up a story about a bus and people think it is to salt the keywords of Google search to not show a campaign bus that highlighted something like free health care or something like that.

People like you describe love structure, if it's supportive. You didn't provide a supportive structure. You accused him of falling behind on synthetic targets because of his ambition.

>The policy in question appears to be affirmatively requiring moderators not to (deliberately) mis-gender trans people

This is either incorrect or relies on an unconventionally broad notion of "misgendering." Normally misgendering is understood to be the act of using pronouns other than a person's preferred pronouns, the point of controversy is that now simply avoiding pronouns can be considered an act of misgendering. This is new territory.

Selam G wrote that Stallman considered that Minsky's victim was actually willing.

That's not "planting evidence" in a legal sense because sure, that's not evidence at all. Mainly because it isn't true and it's easily verifiable.
But in this context, by these people, it has been taken as actual evidence against Stallman. I guess that's the rationale behind the analogy.

Quotes from the article:

A few years ago, it looked like humanity was about to wipe a debilitating parasitic disease off the face of the Earth. But the long road to eradicating Guinea worm just got a whole lot longer. Faced with evidence of previously unknown routes of transmission, the World Health Organization (WHO) has quietly pushed back the target date for stamping out the disease from 2020 to 2030.

---

The number of new Guinea-worm infections in people has remained relatively constant in Chad, at about a dozen per year since 2010. (This year is an exception, with 24 cases — half of which came from a village where people drank from a contaminated pond.) Yet the number of new cases in dogs has climbed from hundreds in the early 2010s to more than 1,500 so far this year. “In Chad, it is clear that dogs are driving transmission and humans are ancillary,” Eberhard says. “If we control it in dogs, human cases might go away.”

---

The eradication programme is offering a US$20 reward to anyone in Chad who reports a case of Guinea-worm disease in dogs.

---

Plot twist: People are infecting dogs on purpose to earn 20$. Might be a profitable business.
Nobody is talking about luck. He was the victim of an unfair and unjust attack by the media, who distorted his words in a disgusting way. There is no way to justify that by referring to his other behavior, no matter how bad it may be.
Obviously the missing startup idea here is the company that integrates you with everyone as a service
A Microsoft acquisition made so much sense around 2015 from talent and developer mindshare perspective, not so much anymore.

All of Docker’s tech is commodity at this point. Their enterprise offerings still address a niche market, but Kubernetes ecosystem has outgrown it with companies like Rancher.

Docker Hub is nice to have public registry, but everyone else, including Microsoft’s GitHub has already implemented the docker-registry protocol. Github can now serve docker images.
You on the other side, insinuate that asking companies to consider any moral obligations requires magic.
Another total beatup. This guy is an Army Captain, a very junior officer in the reserves. He has a journalism background, and while on reserve time he is probably pulling his hair out trying to explain what a tweet is to people who were really comfortable with Blackberry, and dealing with RoE and approvals chains that make doing anything more than writting puff pieces about Change of Command ceremonies or HADR impossible.

I only wish the UK and others would get serious about countering Russian / Iranian/Syrian / GCC/Egyptian / Chinese / ISIS bad actors by unmasking their influence campaigns, educating their populace (at schools and whereever old people can be reached), and generally stop being complacent about it.

Also, it's not call psyops now, it's Information Ops (IO), and if the UK are doing anything it will be at GCHQ, not the Pashtun DJs at 77 BDE.

I don't know about Crystal but Nim GC is optional and even on a per-type basis:

Use plain object and you are on the stack
Use ptr object and you can use any allocator you want (Nim's default, malloc/free or jemalloc, mimalloc, ...)
Use ref object and your reference will be managed by the GC.

In terms of GC, you the default is deferred reference counting (no ref counting if object is created and destroyed at the end of the scope).
It accepts real-time and max-pause tunings parameters, to allow it to stay beyond those 60FPS / 144 FPS requirements

You can also choose java-like mark-and-sweep, the Boehm GC, the go GC, or no GC and get a warning everytime you try to use a type that uses the GC.

This is probably a common occurrence in the industry, especially at companies that make money with user data. This is at the core of the issue why the recommendation has always been to minimize data exposure from industry experts.

Even if end-to-end encryption would be applied, there will never be 100% security from administrators and developers. You cannot even reasonably audit these systems with current technologies.

And yes, protected HR and user information will regularly leak into IT departments. If the latter is outsourced to third parties, this means data leaks galore.

No, not really. It depends of your personality. Some people are more than happy doing pure work tasks. It’d be a mistake to think that everyone likes the same environment.

You are right. Problem stated above only exists in the Netherlands since our lawmaker implemented an even broader warranty than mandated under EU law.
Most of the misinformation and propaganda out there is presented as "opinion" on all networks. The very little actual news on Fox, for example, is always accurate (and actually pretty good), so not being able to call them out on that takes away from the entire effort.

Wow, talking about putting the horse behind the carriage.

So, people don't have the concentration to read a book anymore. But instead of fixing the cause of this, whatever it is, we mangle them through platforms that weren't designed for it and if there is some success, we claim that people are reading again. Of course they are not. It's a whole different experience. It can be nice and it can add to the experiences that we already knew, but it is definitely not the same as reading a book. It is more like seeing the movie adaptation of the book.

Books have remained the same for centuries. If people are suddenly unable to read them anymore, it is far more likely that it is the people that need "fixing", and not the books.

Yes but if there's an accessible alternative then where's the issue? In this case the offices had conference rooms that were wheelchair-accessible.

Sure this means able-bodied people had twice as much access to something but hasn't that always been the case? Like, if you can walk, you can take either the stairs or the ramp to get into a building.

There's not just "building cheap", there is "building specifically to make things expensive to repair".

Three years ago the main bearing in my washing machine broke down. Found a detailed video on Youtube for repairing the exact same machine, started disassembly. 45 minutes in, I discovered that in my machine that was a couple years newer than the tutorial, Bosch had plastic welded shut the drum, so you had to replace the entire thing. Replacement part cost went from $20 to $180 IIRC.

Adding insult to injury, the flange in question had the bolt holes and locating features for the gasket still present.
Inconclusive.(?)

It's like saying - there's a trained neural net with inputs: opacity of screen = 1 with expected output of searching target box. When tested, similar neural nets with similar training expected output of target box. Hence neural net has "theory of mind"

It'd be way more conclusive if the apes knew what was going on, and then decided to act to change the outcome.
I recommend Carl Safina's "Beyond Words", which is an in-depth look at elephants, wolves, and orcas, and I recommend the audio book form, because he rants, with sincere anger, about how obvious it is that these animals display theory of mind.

Once in college, I hand fabricated a board some other students designed with SMT bits. I've always been near-sighted (use glasses to see far) and have developed a habit of taking my glasses off when I'm in a room to keep my nearby surrounding clear. For this board when I was populating it, I of course used a magnifying glass to see the parts, but after finding it cumbersome, at times I would find just focusing hard enough to see the little bits was quicker although requiring some effort.
I'm already looking forward to serious articles that are going to be ironically labeled as satire (obviously again misunderstood by some percentage of the population)
> its only purpose is to end discussion.

Yeah, and that would necessarily be a bad thing if your only priority was pwning people with facts and logic. However, some people care more about things like being kind and getting along with others. Such people have to be willing to stop doing things that hurt others, even if they can't understand why those things are bad.

Eg. It's very hard to explain what gender dysphoria feels like. If a trans person isn't able to do this to your satisfaction, that doesn't mean that you can just go on misgendering them. It means you just have to take their word for it.
This is an issue.

Further complicated because whilst there are companies that build reputations on quality, that reputation can stick around long after the quality has gone down, so there's a constant temptation to cheap out for short term profits.

I suppose the classic example of this is Mercedes Benz in the 90s.

I think one could make a good argument that in fact, humans are the species with the most empathy, out of all other species.

The very idea of one species caring for another, which many humans do, seems completely unique in the animal kingdom.

I would say the rest of the natural world is very ruthless. Humans have empathy for other species, nothing else in nature seems to.

Berkeley had a bunch of great online computer science courses that got taken down because some opportunistic ADA lawyer sued them because the free content wasn't "accessible enough" (and the university couldn't justify the enormous expense of making it accessible given that they earned nothing from it).
In terms of features and functionality, they are very much interchangeable. A new project could be written in any of the three major frameworks and be equally good. The only standout feature I'm aware of is that TF has the best support for doing inference on devices, but that won't be true forever. In terms of actually migrating a codebase from one to the other, the APIs are different enough in small ways that it would be a large amount of effort.
Oh ouch.
It's hard to disprove that it is sometimes like that, but I would be extremely sceptical towards any claim that it is generally like that. I think it is safe to assume that price and quality are correlated in most cases.
It's interesting to think that, perhaps, racism millions of years ago is why we even have distinct ape species.

Warranty and expected lifetime are different concepts. The first is just a service that offers free repair/replace within a period of time. The second is how long you can expect the product to be in use, with or without repairs, until it reaches the end of its life. This can be either due to catastrophic malfunction, no available servicing parts or skills, or obsolescence.

Think of a car that may have 3 years warranty but a service life of maybe 10 or more years.
