I think it should suffice to know that after one repeatedly trains the google spam filter with "report not spam" and "mark as spam", it should learn that well enough, no?

As an example: Some dumb ass Verizon customer gave them my email address as their own. I got a ton of communications from Verizon that I could not turn off (bill past due, thank you for you promise to pay, and all sorts of really annoying messages). I called Verizon, I was told that neither them nor I could do anything about it because I did not own the Verizon account, and I did not have the account PIN. Their official solution for this problem: Mark all the Verizon emails as spam and don't call them again (I kid you not).

The result: I marked about 100 Verizon emails as spam and Gmail learned that really well; now I do not see Verizon emails in my inbox. Why TF can't gmail do this with all the other emails I mark as spam and not spam?

I just got in the habit of firing up the hideous gmail app on my phone to go through my spam folder every day and vet out the non-spam out of there. I usually go though about 250 emails per day. I end up looking at all the spam, but it's far faster to fish out the good messages from spam than if I turned spam detection off altogether.

No matter how complex the problem to solve is, Google is failing at a level where even I could program it better, which is not a high bar at all.

Since air traffic can be global, it makes sense to have global air traffic control conventions. However, not every technology has to be global. If a region wants to develop a technology that is optimized for their region, they trade global access for local optimization. There are cases where this may make sense.
This is a natural state, but also the most degraded state of the ecosystem.

If there was a river, there was either forests or coastal rains. Would not be uncommon to find that the landscape was more humid in just two or three generations ago.

Did you evaluate gRPC or gRPC-Web when considering your websockets implementation?

I'm using gRPC in other languages/frameworks and I'd really like to migrate one of those to Elixir in the near future, but I'm curious to know if anyone else has given it a try.

There's a prominent warning on the repo:

https://github.com/elixir-grpc/grpc
No, I very intentionally never used the word sex, because everything I mentioned was gender. My concern is when stuff that is entirely social (okay, let's keep calling that gender) starts getting codified or labelled, and I'm still confused why we have discrete labels for things that, according to many of the same people using the most labels, are a completely fluid spectrum. I'm okay with completely fluid spectrum, but here's what happened in this HN discussion: someone commented about the research being about "biological genders", and everyone says they're confused. Do a Ctrl+F of the linked article for "Gender" and "Sex" and then tell me that the research isn't also confused because everyone is confused all of the time, especially people who are "confused".
Communication systems have methods to compensate for timing errors. And it's probably feasible to build all those circuits at the server side.

But bitrate would be low.

The Scariest Part of the Year – Budget Time – Credit Unions
I'm not sold on the new volume and silent mode controls on iOS 13. I can see where the designers are coming from, but it's harder to see and use. The bigger issue is that there's no setting to go back - the new way is just supposed to be better, for everybody.
Not a good look questioning people who know what they are doing by promoting a service apparently built by someone who does NOT know what they are doing.
I am pretty sure that was one of the first things I tried and nothing happened. Just tried on my iPhone X and the long pressed showed that menu, is there any difference there between models, he has like a 6 or 7?

Either way long press has the same non discoverability issue especially for not techie people who are used to it working a certain way before.

> The example in the blog would not have been intention of the design spec, it looks like more of a failure of test pass when a new device (with different form factor) got slapped with bits designed and tested for another one.

Strong disagree with this point. The device from the example is an older one (iPhone 8), and this is a brand-new OS. This was not existing software that's being applied to a new screen size -- it's the other way around.

The design spec should have taken the older device into account -- there are still millions of devices with this screen size out there* -- and noted exceptions or adjustments from the iPhone X/11 size.

---

*And still being sold. And never mind the SE, another screen size which was still being sold just 12 months ago.
Yeah this is what I'd like to see, Futhark vs Cuda.

If your application is better suited for GPUs of course it'll be faster than C on the cpu. GPU mining and AI training are done on the GPU for a reason, and they of course beat "C" on the cpu.
> sprintf, uint64_t, #ifndef may as well be foreign languages to English speakers too.

Is the problem those symbols or the fact that the documentation, tutorials, and a significant fraction of the useful discussions around those are in English? That seems like the real concern to me: imagine how much harder it would be to learn something without being able to easily understand the man pages, Stack Overflow, the source code and associated issue trackers or forums, etc.

Better say that Focusmate is free to try. 3 times/week is so little to be any useful.

Seems to have already changed, because that's not how it looks on mine. There's no whitespace between the buttons in the list, so (on iPhone X) the first two and a tiny bit of the third are visible. I'm assuming their view would now be the first and a small piece of the second.

Crazy something like that was ever released though.
From my understanding they do not reject electricity because it's inherently sinful. Their rejection of it comes from desires to maintain a degree of separation from the rest of the world and to continue a tradition of hard work, which are biblically motivated.

I think any religious beliefs, from anywhere on the conservative to progressive spectrum, will have aspects that seem illogical to an outsider. On the scale of things, the reasoning for these restrictions doesn't seem too irrational.

IMO, it does seem unnecessarily inflammatory to refer to a pacifist group as extreme when that term is usually applied to groups engaged in terrorism, etc. I also find the label of cult too strong, unless you're using it in the formal sense. Look into the tradition of rumspringa [0]--unless you're being cynical it doesn't seem like a cultish practice.

I disabled the swipe keyboard and now selecting text works like I expect it to again.
I think you might have misunderstood? Academic physics publications do not have perfect reproduction rates. Especially theoretical physics. The criteria for a valid theory doesn’t prevent human mistakes.

Everything you said applies to social sciences too. Per the scientific method any valid theory must be reproducible and predictive. It’s an unfortunate fact of life that the academic research and publication process allows results that turn out to be untrue, both in social sciences and hard sciences.

Maybe have a gander at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superseded_theories_in_scien...

> So even though 'turn the other cheek' is such a common phrase in our culture and most Christians are well aware of this saying by Jesus, they don't interpret it literally.

Jesus often says things hyperbolically to shock people enough to get them to think outside their boxes. It's a bit like that quote from Suits: “What are your choices when someone puts a gun to your head? ... You take the gun, or you pull out a bigger one. Or, you call their bluff. Or, you do any one of a hundred and forty six other things.”

In certain cultures, if you're insulted or attacked, people feel like they basically have to respond in kind. But this sets up a cycle of violence: someone attacks you, you "have" to attack them; but then they "have" to attack you back, and so on until one of you is more or less destroyed. (Furious 7 probably unintentionally demonstrated this perfectly: both the main hero and the main villain were revenging attacks done by the other on their own family.)

Saying "Turn the other cheek" is basically along the same lines as the gun quote: "What are your choices when someone smacks you in the face? ... How about this: You turn the other cheek. Or you ignore it and move on. Or, you do any one of a hundred and forty six other things. You don't have to respond in violence."
I don't even mean pronouns. I mean the stuff like elsewhere in this thread where people are stepping in it (depending on the perspective of the reader) re: whether gender identity is wholly a social construct. "Yeah, it's entirely social" is no longer the safe fallback answer for careful liberals (I write, as a careful liberal)
It was an amazing magazine for Apple II users back in the day. There would usually be some hacking tips, some BASIC source dumps, all the good stuff. I think I read every one cover to cover and spent days typing in programs. This was before modems and BBSs really.

This really is incredible, it totally fixes my frustration at waiting for animations to finish and occasionally stuttering as it tries to uselessly slide things off the screen.

Btw, I also have an option under Accessibility that says "Remove animations" that doesn't require having Developer Mode enabled. Seems like an easier shortcut if you only want to turn off these animations.

Now I've got a PhD on solving "traffic light" and "crosswalk" Captchas as a result.

I started to resent Google for this, except now I think twice before going to a web site that will give me these hurdles, so it ended up helping me to focus on my work. Now I appreciate the extra work.
Windows 95 users often had 640x480 screens. Somehow they managed to get work done while still displaying scrollbars at all times. I think we can manage on our modern, high-resolution displays.
Call-A.P.P.L.E. was an early magazine for the Apple II. I think it had lots of code listings, as was often the case with computer magazines back when it was common for computer owners to type in much of their software.
Lately people are "exporting" cheap electricity by mining cryptocurrency. I don't think that's a good idea from a public policy standpoint, but it is happening and growing fast.

Same here. This problem of feeling left out may not be there if the person who recommends it also provides the reason he recommends it for.
Oh I'm 100% supportive of having good translations of documentation, tutorials, better ways for people to communicate online if they speak different languages, etc. But that's not what بونج is at all. Quite the opposite - the computer language is derived from another language, but their documentation as checked into Github is still in English.

Translatable comments would also be awesome, and figuring out how to deal with identifiers that appear in both comments / docs and code would be awesome. As it is, I think this language / art project is aimed at what is literally the smallest obstacle for people who have the problem it's discussing.

Clicked 'Learn'. Played through part of a game by randomly clicking around. The computer smashed me 1st round, and I still have no clue what to do.

You cannot just be resident in the Netherlands; you need to be a citizen. The whole point here is that you get to work 'in the army' while you do not have to be physically fit to do so, so basically any citizen (but not residents) with relevant knowledge & experience can apply for some of these positions (the ones that are non combat and do not require physical training or fitness).

44k€ gross ? (before social security?)

That seems about right to me. In Paris I know several people getting about 42/46 at the same level of experience.
So 44 outside of Paris is not bad at all.

Although, there is a huge disparity. There are some opportunity at 70k in Paris for 5Y of experience..

This thread of comments began with CryoLogic saying this:

> Good. Corporations should be punished when corporate greed leads to negligence which leads to the loss of human life en masse in exchange for short term profit.

I read CryoLogic's usage of "punished" as meaning "losing money due to drop in stock value" (which is what occurred in this case). Regular people holding shares in Boeing absolutely should lose money due to the dropping stock prices. They take risks making investments and they must accept that. So no I don't mean that regular shareholders should be prosecuted. I don't think anyone here has argued for that.
So how does this work behind the scenes?

Does the user have to trust the service provider, and can the service provider conceivably distribute malware or take control of the user's machine through this tool?

I only liked it a little bit but was recommended by someone for whom it was their favorite book ever.

I only really took away one thing from the book (some deeper level of understanding of what is meant by "quality", in the sense of craftsmanship). I value that understanding and am happy I read the book, but I don't use that wisdom very often in my life.

Maybe you're reading it in a way which expects it to have a plot? I don't know, I think book recs are generally hard and people should only trust book recommendations from people who like books for the same reasons.
I just yesterday found that you can scroll a whole iOS scroll area by scrolling a little then holding your finger over the now-visible scroll indicator bar to "grab it" and drag it around.

I've been using iOS since 4.
Alternatively, it could have been used as a way to "mass-produce" a well known result.

Ex: if a group of maybe 100 people were pushing wagons around, you only need one navigator to occasionally set south (through the use of stars, landmarks, or other navigational aids). Once south is known, everyone can "reset" the other wagons to point in the same direction.

------

Alternatively, it'd still be a useful aid for star-navigators who don't know any landmarks. Because you can only see the stars at night. So you could set south when the sun set. Then you sleep. When you wakeup, the wagon is still pointing south (and will continue pointing south for a few miles: until the cumulative error adds up).
AFAIK triodes (vacuum tubes) were discovered by accident. Could you not say that a MOSFET works on a principle very similar to a triode, but on a much smaller scale (small enough to exploit quantum phenomena)? I think it's possible that someone could discover MOSFETs by accident, maybe after theorizing that you could build triodes on a microscopic scale.
I was interested in hearing what using Arabic as a scripting language might do to change how code might be written -- not just a translation of words, but are there features of a language that are distinct from English that it would actually change our assumptions about a scripting language?

The video mentioned how the ligatures of Arabic can stretch, to allow fixed-width justification, which was neat, although it doesn't actually change our notions of scripting.

Consider, for instance, if English didn't have any imperative form, and instead everything were a request. Would declarative languages like Prolog have been the default?

Perhaps the most interesting thought experiments along this vein could be for conlangs. Can we write a conlang that is more elegant, meaningful, even beautiful for scripting?

Here's an quote from a New Yorker article on conlangs:

> Ithkuil has two seemingly incompatible ambitions: to be maximally precise but also maximally concise, capable of capturing nearly every thought that a human being could have while doing so in as few sounds as possible. Ideas that could be expressed only as a clunky circumlocution in English can be collapsed into a single word in Ithkuil. A sentence like “On the contrary, I think it may turn out that this rugged mountain range trails off at some point” becomes simply “Tram-mļöi hhâsmařpţuktôx.”

How useful is real-time data really? For example, HN isn't updating in real time and for me that's fine. If real-time updates come at a ridiculous complexity and performance cost, then is it really worth it?
