The Hack HHVM JIT is typically more performant than standard PHP 7. However, that is more of an apples to oranges comparison of JIT vs Non-JIT than Lang to Lang comparison.

That said, PHP 7 has squeezed most of the performance from the language and the low hanging fruit is gone.

However, PHP 8 looks to bring a standard JIT to PHP [1]. I'd guess that once that happens Hack / HHVM may no longer have any advantage.

One thing to bear in mind is that headlines are not prose, they are shorthand.

So you have to assume there could be missing words, since that’s how headlines work.

In this case there is a dropped “just”:

Don’t (just) validate: parse!

If the headline was “Parse, never validate” then I would agree with your reading. But “don’t” is pretty lightweight. I’m having a hard time thinking of a lighter discouragement word. Given that, I think it’s unfair to assume the strongest discouragement is implied.
If delays of 4.4 minutes drive this effect, shouldn’t there also be massive swings in mortality every day (rush hour), and at the end of the weeks?
Seconds count. We already know that speed bumps kill 9 for every 1 life they save, due to ambulance delays. Ambulances are heavy and can't go over speed bumps very quickly. The 1 life they save is from someone not going so fast.
Android user who tried the Apple Watch- it's now the only I'll recommend
That is an alternative way to see it, I appreciate the effort. However, we shouldn't forget the reasons why we have speed limits: safety.

It is just not safe to drive 80mph in the city center, for instance. And should be just avoided.

A different story is 190mph on the highway. It can be ok under certain circumstances: low traffic, good weather, good car, your age, new tires, just an odd example.

So no, some speed limits should be enforced at all costs.
And now for the great thing ... Prophet uses Stan underneath [1] and thus is built on foundations of 'regular' Bayesian statistics. Andrew Gelman has written about Prophet as well [2].

After reading this blog I am tempted to get the ML for time series book though. I'd love to try and compare some less than trivial examples with covariates involved.

I simplified a bit. Yes, Debian testing gets new updates, which means it gets security updates. Eventually. It can (and does) take days for critical security updates to migrate from unstable to testing after stable has access to patched version.

And how is using a package built like this any better than curl | sh from upstream? You're still trusting the upstream tarball. Now in addition you are trusting the packager.
It is a large reason actually, we don't have enough well funded programs for mental help or drug addiction and roughly 70% of prison inmates are there for drugs and just cycle in and out running up huge fines which they'll never actually be able to pay.

Also please keep in mind because of our sovereignity but low population we win a lot of categories for "most this of any nation" due to sheer per-capita mathematics. We're basically the most-per-capita country out there in many ways.
That’s not the core idea he/she is expressing. The core idea is that selecting a certain wealth level or percentile to be outraged about is wholly arbitrary. And therefore it doesn’t make sense to cherry pick the 1%, and if the vague logic of what constitutes inappropriate wealth is to be used, it would make more sense to look at the billionaires than the 1%. The billionaires have incredible wealth per capita compared to the 1%, most of whom still have to actively plan for retirement and worry about financial security.

Personally I think the focus on the 1% is a bad tactic since it targets people who are everywhere all around us, whom their friends know to be talented or hard working or to have undertaken the stress of operating a small business or whatever. For that reason it does and will continue to come off as inappropriate/unfair/immature to demonize the 1%, and hell probably even the 0.1%. This is why Occupy Wall Street was so easily dismissed.
Maybe "version freeze" or "feature freeze" is a better term. The sudo bug was fixed in version 1.8.28, but Ubuntu LTS didn't upgrade to the new version. They're still on 1.8.21p2 from 2017, but with the bugfix and other Debian and Ubuntu patches applied, resulting in a bizarre package version of "1.8.21p2-3ubuntu1.1".

Which with something relatively small and stable like sudo, is one thing. For big projects on rapid release cycles, like GNOME, it's got a much bigger impact.

Though I do see that Ubuntu does keep updating Firefox and Chromium to the latest versions in LTS, because they're so big and change so fast that backporting fixes has become practically impossible. That looks like a very rare exception to the rule; your typical Python library won't be getting that treatment.
Eh, I understand it. They want to put some name in the identity control in the header. Putting the full name in is guaranteed to go wrong. We might start asking for a nickname for that purpose.

That’s not at all a disincentive if the same person then just gets another setup a month later, and starts all over again.

This is not a law enforcement problem, because this problem only became common once phone calls were virtually free to make.

A lot of problems would be solved if phone calls are billable. Then the telcos would be fighting amongst themselves to make sure that they get paid.
I don't know how Google Voice did it, but I rarely if ever got a robocall when I had Google Voice. After leaving Sprint (and losing Google Voice after years of having it) I get them all the time. T-Mobile catches a few here and there, but I get so many damn spam calls. I just have my phone on mute.
Include some ways to record how name is written by attaching image and 3D scan files or directly writing it by scribing with mouse/touchscreen/stylus, and how it's pronounced by attaching sound files and providing record button (video too: don't forget about sign languages; but it is still not a solution for tactile sign languages which are used by deaf blind communities).
Gates doesn't want to give up his money because he can actually help more people with it than any government plan.

The government will squander the money like they always do, with absolutely no accountability.

Wealth taxes do nothing but push the wealthy out and leave the middle class to foot the bill.
But how much time would then be wasted writing/typing out all of those extra letters in their name? Then, dealing with updating every account they have. Your sarcastic response wsan't even well thought out. Developer's time is expensive to waste in a gov't office to address a bug left from their parents.
>does that mean that I somehow is worse or better off?

try this thought experiment:

your neighbor has $10 and you have $1. the cost to keep a person sheltered, fed, and clothed is $3. your neighbor pays you $1 to do some task each month while making $10 from your labor. you can't afford the basics with the salary being offered. your neighbor, on the other hand, can afford the basics for themselves and also for you using the revenues generated from your labor -- and more! yet, they still only pay you $1, because if they paid you $3, they'd only be able to pay for their own consumption two times instead of three times. is this situation acceptable on the basis of the factors outlined in the experiment alone?

because that level of exploitation is a mere shadow of the scale of exploitation that the current crop of billionaires perform. and we haven't even started to talk abou tax dodging yet.
It would be interesting to decode the visuals into sound.

Not sure why you are being downvoted, but some races do, mostly ultramarathons and trail runs. I can see some city folks who don’t have a car being upset and in the spirit of this study, disruptions to their respective remote infrastructure.
I wonder if they properly controlled for the Boston Marathon bombing. Although there were amazingly few direct casualties given the circumstances, the extra strain on the hospital system may have had substantial second order effects.
You will rarely change a person's mind, and never right away, but you can do a lot to start their journey towards seeing things different (assuming you're right) by having them realize that people on "the other side" are decent, well-intentioned, rational people too.
Agree with you, except the qualifier that “I certainly get all the hate against Juul”.

I certainly don’t get it. Saw the news on a TV in a bar last night, talking about the Vitamin E oil. The video clip to go along was someone using a Juul! Juul is getting conflated to be synonymous with vaping, and that is patently wrong. I guess they should be sorry for creating the best product, that so happens to be discreet enough for teenagers to hide.
...and what decade.

Yup. It’s amusing to see people think there is some hard technical problem here.

Tie the problem of robocalls to the telcos losing money, and this problem will solve itself in months.
Carmel, California used to have deliverable descriptive addresses like that. Been years, don't know if they still do.
I believe it was the default from Marshmallow through Pie, but as of 10 it's default off because the powers that be decided that performance was more important. And it was actually on even without full justification, as it improves appearance and density for ragged-right text as well. One of the things we tuned is trying to avoid a final line with just one word on it - in that case, it's far more likely to insert a hyphen to avoid that. I think that's really nice in mobile, where screen real estate is at such a premium.

>Of course context matters and no sweeping generalizations can be made, but (as per the example in the article) making your grandma cry by articulating her self-inflicted harm due to smoking is, imo, much kinder and empathic than being "understanding" and keep quite maintaining her short-term good mood.

That is only true if you believe making the grandma cry is in some way productive or helpful. If not, it is simply cruel.

That said, I think this example isn't the best for the article's message.
Homebrew is only as secure as the results of that first curl command

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

I get why https://docs.brew.sh/Installation doesn’t discuss the versioning or security practices. It is interesting that homebrew doesn’t seem to interface with macOS’s signing and installation practices.

Reminds me that there is still no official package manager on macOS. So https://nodejs.org/en/download/ has you comparing check sums.

Connection refused ?
Having experiences that suggest that an achievement is likely very minor should not be a cause for withholding congratulations, or any other social pleasantry. For example, in my experience, just being accepted to college at all is really not much of an achievement. There are plenty of colleges that will accept virtually anybody who applies. However, if a friend or coworker were to announce one morning, "I was just accepted to $LOCAL_COMMUNITY_COLLEGE," I would congratulate them. Maybe the hardest part for them was applying in the first place. Maybe it was harder for them to just apply to that college than it would be for you or I to get accepted into Harvard. We can't know, so we err on the side of warmth and encouragement.

A small point to your otherwise interesting post. Santos Dumont was, in fact, not French, but rather a Brazilian living in France.
You know, when it comes to "Being kind" on hnews, I have the least patience for these pedantic/off-topic replies that completely distract from the central thesis of the parent post. In this case, the vegan stuff was an example and you know it, but felt it appropriate to waste our time with your reply anyways.

I find these kinds of posts so, so, so tiring. The only saving grace is that the collapse thread button is so useful.

Lots of these robocalls are fraudulent. They say nonsense like they're the FBI acting on behalf of the IRS, with a warrant for my arrest. If somebody ran a scam like that through the USPS, they'd become a guest of the US Bureau of Prisons for a few years. Internet DoSers get prison time too. But not these parasites.

If the scammers are offshore, an arrest or two in the customs hall at an airport will get peoples' attention.

Prison time, big fines, and restitution will be a more effective deterrent than what we have today. The American Graffiti (1974) writers correctly described the current system of uncollected fines. https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/6cac9bde-4762-41c2-8b76-264eba9...

Even if hard time doesn't deter these people, a few big cases will at least let the federal government project the illusion they're doing something about it.
Yeah, this exemplifies exactly the kind of attitude that this article is about: calling stuff "plain wrong" is not going to convince anyone of anything and you're just going to come off as a rather self-righteous arrogant twit. The "you" doesn't make one iota of difference, no one is even going to notice whether it's there or not.
That raises an interesting question for me -- how do ships deal with inclement weather on the open sea anyways?
Normally the method for dealing with 'time series' is really just finding ways to turn a non-stationary distribution into a stationary distribution, where you can then apply classic statistical methods on them. So you're just finding ways to factor out the time component in the data so you can use the standard non-time sensitive regression models on the transformed data.

I don't think it's untill you get to the NN based models that they start treating time as a first-class component in the model.

So it’s purely the spoofing?

I looked at Wikipedia, and we have "CLIP" (Calling Line Identification Presentation) and "CLIP no screening" (essentially spoofed numbers). Spoofing a number that you don’t own the rights for is a crime.

So it looks like we have spoofing but only in a sane way, is the other kind of spoofing legal in the US? Or is there some other underlying problem?
Certainly 3rd-party apps may have issues but it’s easy to encounter hiccups with just Windows Explorer (e.g. mapped drive letters popping up one message per drive on disconnect), OneDrive (login prompts), even Outlook and Skype. In the case of Outlook, it seems to enter a state of perpetual “exclamation point” after a disconnect that can only be resolved by forcing it to restart.
This seems to be written in mean spirit, but is essentially true. America is supposed to be founded upon an ideology, and deserves scrutiny whether this ideology is upheld. (Incidentally, USSR, albeit not Russia, was also this way.) I'm not American, for example, and my sympathy for that country tends to be proportional to how much free and constitutional I find it.

The article is somewhat biased, but includes enough information to invite some reflecting on those problems. It paints an image of how many people might have been actually fearing a violent revolution, for example. It also shows how such fears can interplay with how law is executed.

The majority of spam calls come from the same area code as my phone number, but its not the area code that I live in. I'd love this feature to be area code specific - it would give the granularity I need to block spam but allow for unknown numbers from where I now live.
There is a glossary in the CoreAudio docs, but it hasn't been updated since 2010. And it doesn't include an entry for WordClock.

You could argue that generally the docs are good enough to Get Shit Done. And people are Getting Shit Done on the platform as a whole. So there's no problem.

But it's a shame Apple doesn't consider better docs a priority. IMO it's not a good look for a trillion dollar company.

More, I don't know if insiders use the same doc base. If so it's definitely wasteful, because newcomers are going to be wasting time and effort trying to get up to speed.

Not with the current airships since they are all 'swimming' with helium and we there is by far not enough helium for that on this planet. Hydrogen based would be different story but thats how the first era of the airship ended.

Edit: Also, if there is one type of ship that is going to be replaced by airships, its going to be the cruise ship.

qutebrowser lead developer here :)

Basic per-domain settings (which also allow blocking/allowing Javascript for a page, though not for different origins on that page) have been around since qutebrowser v1.2.0 (March 2018).

For more sophisticated uMatrix-like blocking, work is ongoing on an extension API, but there's jmatrix which already uses that API unofficially. I plan to get back to the extension API soon, but there are some more important things to take care of first - see the current roadmap for details. Also, I expect things to go much faster soon, as I finished my studies and I'll soon be able to start working part-time on qutebrowser funded by donations (via GitHub sponsors).

Some links:

v1.2.0 release: https://lists.schokokeks.org/pipermail/qutebrowser-announce/...

There's a certain type of person who sees niceness or agreeability as weaknesses, and not strategies for cohesion.
Thanks for the link! It looks like it's on track to be implemented this year. I must admit I am _very_ pleasantly surprised to see a project of this scale on track to be completed in under two years (knock on wood). For everyone's sake, I hope it works as advertised!
So it’s possible to show a local number when the call is arriving from another part of the world? That seems strange or rather insane, but would explain how the problem happens ;)
I highly doubt Twilio knowingly allows this to happen. Furthermore, if anyone linked their card with Twilio, it would not have been hard to track down who is doing this and freeze their assets (from a fed agency perspective) or at least block their account (from Twilio's mod team perspective).
You could still get your own room in an airplane it would probably be allot cheaper than geting a room in an airship.

We could easily fit 50+ small private rooms in an airplane.
They could possibly do this but the logistics would be messy. For large marathons, people travel to the destination from all over the world and book hotels in the city where they can easily get to the start location. Also, seeing the city while running the marathon, however inconvenient to others, is part of the attraction of the location.

If the actual marathon course is somewhere remote from the city, it's unlikely such a place would have the hotel space for all the runners, and transporting them to/from the site would be a massive undertaking in itself. Chicago has about 45,000 runners every year. Then there are all the volunteers who need to get to and from stations around the course.

I'm not saying any of this to discount the argument that marathons impose a huge inconvenience, only that moving them elsewhere isn't so cut and dried a solution.
Legislators tend to do a very bad job of creating technical standards. There is no constitutionally-enumerated power for Congress to regulate which character-encoding standard is used. On the other hand, updating all gov't and military systems to unicode-only would force the change pretty quickly, I'd guess.

You also can't outlaw a vulnerability. It's an honest development mistake.

It looks like the study doesn’t have data that would enable them to determine that. The marathon event presents a known day where there is disruption, which they can see in ambulance transport times. They then can see in Medicare data patient outcomes based on days. Looks like they’d need much more granular data on admission times, etc from the Medicare data set which probably is not possible.

That said you can probably infer from everything we know that if ambulance transport times are longer during rush hour then patient outcomes are also worse.
