No. You're presenting a false dichotomy. There is a spectrum of careers to choose from. However, I do think the average person can get into a tech career provided they pursue the right education. They better, as entry-level tech becomes the new blue collar.

It is a failure on society's part that free career counseling and mentoring isn't mandatory, however as individual agents we must also take personal agency and make up for the shortfalls of society.

How about known criminals. More cameras owned and controlled (for real) by individuals is enough. I have heard about massive improvements in public safety in places where people have Ring, or similar things. I'm not too keen on Amazon being an operator, as unfortunate as it would be if they were judged for things they don't do, it'd be worse if it turned out to be a genuine dragnet.

Nonetheless, I'm not anti surveillance, provided it's up to individual and business location operators to disseminate or not (except by subpoena). I plan on installing more surveillance cameras.
It does. If you’re asking why not AOT compile a whole ruby app? Well Ruby is a really dynamic language and the generated C might not be valid after the app begins execution. I guess theoretically you could enumerate all of the different possible class states or the final class states but that sounds really hard.

If you actually need a compiled Ruby binary mRuby is the best option but it has its own drawbacks of course.

I assume you think that of others too and not that you are a unique snowflake for having these qualities. Then why talk? You are pointless to 'communicate' with. One way streets lead nowhere.

It's a philosophical argument, like the ancient greeks shared... Were they idiots?

You are claiming a metaphysical position, not a philosophical one. So yes the category of philosophy is destroyed, particularly emphasized by the fact you won't open your mind to discussion or change.

That kind of simple plan cache you imagine has rather limited usage, because it can only handle non-parametrized queries without risking regressions in query plan (e.g. PostgreSQL may be able to find a more optimal plan for "SELECT * FROM t WHERE x = 1" than to "SELECT * FROM t WHERE x = $1", even when the parameters are sent separately in the protocol). BTW, this is also currently an issue with prepared statements in PostgreSQL, so they can be a performance loss compared to re-planning the query (there are some very simple heuristics which tries to solve it but it is far from perfect).

Sure, it is possible to apply advanced techniques to try to guess when re-planning is worth it. Alternatively you can make it an option for PostgreSQL to cache parametrized queries too and accept the possible regressions, but that becomes less interesting due to most ORMs sending ["SELECT * FROM t WHERE x = 42"] rather than ["SELECT * FROM t WHERE x = $1", 42] which means you cannot simply hash the string.

Again it is possible to do but I think you underestimate the work necessary for it to be a widely useful feature. And on top of this there are probably legacy code reasons like PostgreSQL process based architecture which makes it even more work.

Pittsburgh has a weird vibe to it. Pretty much everybody that lives there is surprised by how much they like it (including myself) and aren't eager to leave, but once you have left there's just very little desire to go back. I have lived in many places (including other countries), and that's the only city that I didn't want to leave but also don't want to go back to.

Basically it's nice enough to be comfortable, but not great enough to be desirable.
But then you lose the main point of the increased privacy. If you are simply using this plugin for simple metrics and don't care about privacy, this would work.

I still don’t understand why small website owners don’t just use their server logs.

They can not be defeated by privacy focused browsers or by JavaScript being inactive.

The only real problem with them is that they (typically) requires access to CPanel (although you can make the stats ‘public’) and that the interfaces are ancient and typically not mobile-friendly. Thinking of AWStats in particular but the rest seem similar.

Some cheaper hosts also kill your old stats (and logs) after a year or so, so you lose cool 5-year growth stats.

I mean, we LITERALLY, already have the data we need. Sitting right there. On our own servers. But we don’t look at it or have good (easy) tools, so we sling third-party JavaScript onto all our webpages and consult someone else.

Something has gone backwards (again) on the internet.
> Language-learning app Duolingo is valued at $1.5 billion after a $30 million investment by Alphabet's CapitalG.

Erm, so Alphabet threw in $30 million for 3% in a Series F that has already taken $138 million (I wonder what kind of preferences they got on that, LOL) and magically Duolingo is a unicorn.

Uh, yeah, sure.

Basically, Alphabet paid $30 million for a lot of user information to throw into the voracious Google maw.

I saw Luis von Ahn speak at the at the LAB in Miami circa 2013. His goal has always been to crowd source translating text like the New York Times everyday into several languages. Professional translators probably translate text better than Duolingo, but not at the price point they offer. One thing he brought up in that talk is that they hired a bunch of respected academics in the field of language learning. He asked them which parts of speech should be taught first which the consultants didn't have an answer so they implemented A/B testing to see which order of words and concepts people learned fastest with. Several years later the thing that surprises me is that with data backed learning they haven't got further. Working through he courses isn't such a bad waste of time for most of the users even though there might be better more expensive ways to learn a language.
The only side effect I really notice in everyday browsing with privacy.resistFingerprinting enabled is time. It spoofs the system time zone as UTC which makes it a bit confusing looking at things like sports and TV schedules.

It's worse than virtually any other way to learn a language. Saying that you can't expect it to be perfect doesn't justify it being really bad.

DuoLingo isn't optimized to learn a language, it's optimized to give people the feeling they're learning a language.

Flash cards are better, books are better, CDs are better, Spotify is better, YouTube videos are a lot better, and learning in person is way better.

This series is very interesting; but let the viewer beware: as usual with such deconstructive media it contains many assertions that are not presented in-depth and may or may not be true at a deeper level. They sound profound but further reflection fails to provide what deep learning they project.

Take, for example, the very beginning of Episode 1, where Berger states "All the paintings of the tradition used to convention of perspective which is unique to European art." Then he moves on. Think about this important assertion for a moment, it is very interesting. Why is it true? Why didn't anybody else invent it, e.g. Arabs, with their advanced knowledge of optics? perhaps Islam's ban on painting human form hindered them. How about the Chinese? Here's one answer:

"...because, as Erwin Panofsky1 would point out, perspective is not only a direct transcription of the visual reality but a form of representation that originates within broader cultural needs." , i.e. for some reason their cultural needs were different. You see the enlightened view itself has Orientalist foundations.

A better discussion can be found here [3]

If you want to read a great fictional work that covers these topics I suggest Orhan Pamuk's My Name is Red, e.g.

"Such painting, says one modernist to the other, means that "if you depicted one of the trees in this forest, a man who looked upon that painting could come here and, if he so desired, correctly select that tree from among the others". A tree with Ottoman roots relates the conversation and objects: "I don't want to be a tree, I want to be its meaning."" [3]

I was fascinated by the extensive and excellent coverage on Persian/Turkic miniature art and its comparison to Western painting tradition in this book, so at a book signing when Pamuk was touring US after its publication I asked him about resources that he used (Note that Pamuk wanted to be a painter originally): he said there were scant resources and he made most of it up!

That's interesting, comparing it to plagiarism, reminds me of when I was shamed when I was like 8 for rewriting a paragraph from a book in my own words for an essay. At least when I was that age, that was totally considered plagiarism (at least by my parents). It was crushing to find that even though I'd worked really hard on paraphrasing each sentence, it didn't count and I'd missed the whole point.

I wonder what standards colleges and research journals have now.
I love Duolingo and think it's great. I took two languages in school and another for a job and I've learned more with Duolingo than with formal education. I think if you're a certain kind of nerd then learning from a textbook works great but for me the casual little lessons in Duolingo are just right. I know two sets of linguist parents and they think it's great and have their kids on it.
> Even if fossil fuels were prohibitively expensive for energy production we'd still have things like airplanes

For someone who speak about off-topic, since when did we, the article or anything in this thread talk about the transport sector? A few other sectors we also never talked about is space travel, the military, and agriculture.

The claim is that a law banning fossil fuels in the energy sector is indistinguishable from a carbon tax that is high enough to make it more profitable to build non-polluting power plants alternatives to power plants burning fossil fuels.

> Anyway, that's going to result in needless pollution while we build up renewables

How is keeping the coal and natural gas in the ground going to cause needless pollution? Nonsense.

> It's not the case that my local coal plant is running at 100% capacity all the time, and by electing to buy "green" energy I'm making the coal product more expensive than the renewable product.

And yet the coal is still cheaper because otherwise you would not continue to buy it, and people would not build new natural gas plants unless they thought it would pay. It illustrate how well the shift of new energy is incentivized.

Naturally people will build wind power. It is cheaper than coal when it is blowing, and it makes the coal energy more expensive when burned. Everyone wins, except that the coal keep getting mined and burned and this thing called global warming is happening which people prefer to ignore.

You accuse me of not wanting harm mitigation, but that is completely wrong. I don't mind at all the wind and solar plants being built, but I can fully see the data which says that the fossil fueled pollution in the power grid is going up, not down. It pretty basic logic that when the method which claim to decrease pollution is increasing it then the method is flawed.

Denmark is a pretty good example where peak wind has been reached. At optimal condition their whole energy grid can be produced from wind. Wind farm operators want to be paid so they build farms until at peak they still get sell the energy, as overproduction is not just wasteful but costly.

How often do a wind farm produce 100% of maximum? Not often. we can make a simplify statement that on average they produce about 50%, which mean the other 50% must come from somewhere. Primarily fossil fuels.

So what is Denmark average gCO2eq/kWh? Better than some but far from competing with countries like France, and even if everyone other country in EU copied Denmark it would not be enough in order to prevent catastrophic global warming.
Under section 11 "memory reclaim" the author states:

>"But memory request is actually used only internally e.g. to calculate oom_adj and QoS."

Could someone elaborate on this? Doesn't Kubernetes also use this to decide if a container could be scheduled on this node in the first place? Or am I missing some other obvious point the author is trying to make?
What's wrong with starting out using go build, go run, and go test?
I agree that we should free up the constraints. But text is everywhere for a good reason. Assuming that while we add more non-text, we still keep making more text too, I hope we don't lose the ability to openly parse that new text.

>When a method has been called a certain number of times (10,000 times in current prerelease Ruby 2.7), MJIT will mark it to be compiled into native code and put it on a “to compile” queue. MJIT’s background thread will pull methods from the queue and compile them one at a time into native code.

I would have thought that you wouldn't wait for 10,000 iterations but just start from the beginning and compile the methods with the most calls and keep the compiler thread busy. Flush less frequently or no-longer needed compiled calls and limit the total to some defined resource usage cap. You'd probably win overall.
> But that is literally what web users want.

No it absolutely does not.

Just because a user doesn't understand what Javascript is or how to diagnose why their computer is slow (is it an app, website, update, virus etc) does not imply consent.

Pretty sure that most people just want to be able to visit a website without it causing problems to their computer or to others.

[1]> Abstract: Do children know when people tell the truth but not the whole truth? Here we show that children accurately evaluate informants who omit information and adjust their exploratory behavior to compensate for under-informative pedagogy. Experiment 1 shows that given identical demonstrations of a toy, children (6-and 7-year-olds)rate an informant lower if the toy also had non-demonstrated functions. Experiment 2 shows that given identical demonstrations, six-year-olds explore a toy more broadly if the informant previously committed a sin of omission. These results suggest that children consider both accuracy and informativeness in evaluating others’ credibility and adjust their exploratory behavior to compensate for under-informative testimony when an informant’s credibility is in doubt.

But is that actually true? When I see people say Duolingo is bad, they're always comparing it to some highly optimized language learning strategy, where you weave together Anki and suchandsuch grammar resource and a strict regimen of 30 minutes of target language media every day.

I'd agree that Duolingo significantly compromises effectiveness for the sake of engagement, but to most people engagement is the hardest part of learning a language!
