How does one theoretically get around the various anti-bot measures that the social media platforms have instituted?

When I try to create a human account it asks for a phone number and Twitter seems to have a bit of an overzealous system that blocks new accounts for "suspicious" activity. YouTube has similar measures in place for registration. Most of them have captcha as well.

Do these folks use humans to complete the registration and then have bots use the accounts?
Meh - recently worked on a huge corporate solution where some enthusiastic person included F# projects for tests- soon the project readme included : To get VS intellisense working disable the F# projects as it would randomly cause intellisense to break in the entire solution.

I understand where Webpack et al came from, but the more I work with it the less I like it. There used to be a time when the JS I wrote was the exact same that was executed. Now, even in development mode, it gets pulled through several tools (webpack/babel and a heap of their plugins, a minifier, source maps get generated etc) before my changes are visible, even in an incremental / hot reloading build.

It's not just build time, it's the indirectness. I'm seriously contemplating dropping it for a next project and just writing straight JS, whichever dialect (es6?) has the widest adoption.

99% of the people flying drones in unsafe or harrassing ways have an off-the-shelf camera quad. The DIY operators are far more likely to understand the ramifications of what they're doing, maybe because you have to have just a bit of common sense to build one in the first place.

I never understood why all the big ISPs force people into such asymmetrical plans (factor of 10 where i live). The available bandwidth with a standard cable model is symmetric isnt it? If it were just a case of typical industry rent seeking there should be some kind of plan available with decent upload, but there is nothing for ordinary consumers. Is it a vertical integration/IP cartel issue?

He's not a bad actor, just mediocre. In the roles he was assigned, his characters are more or less similar, and his face shows relatively little emotion, but it's more or less consistent with the macho stereotype he's been playing. Bad actor would be someone like Hayden Christensen who seems unable to express convincing emotion even though the scenes played require him to.

IBM tried to sue everybody, they just lost the case because Compaq was clever doing a clean room reverse engineering.

Luckily for IBM, Compaq did break one copyright, which forced them into a corner. Compaq negotiated with IBM and ended up purchasing the copyright for $130 million. This, however, did not stop Compaq overall.

Google lacked the cleverness from Compaq.

From other comments, the conspiracy is that AMD either doesn't give a shit or is very bad at demonstrating otherwise. No evil required, just laziness and other priorities.
It's useful for development environments to cache things which have not changed in order to shorten the feedback loop. Many do.

The problem is guaranteeing correctness. Correct cache invalidation is Hard(TM). Therefore, the CI system builds from scratch in order to guarantee a clean, correct and reproducible output from a given snapshot of the source.

As for 'live programming' against a running image, this write-up starts with the implicit assumption that this is always a good thing. While it can be useful on occasion, the reason for restarting the application after changing its source code is the same reason we favour functional, immutable styles: mutable state is a pain and it's best to push it out of the thing you're working with if at all possible. Modifying the running image risks ending up with internal states which no single snapshot of the source could ever have yielded.

I bought a house with apple trees last year. One of them makes little red apples where the color of the flesh has red streaks, like someone dripped stain on to it or something.

They're _wonderful_. The closest I can describe it (and my wife agrees) is that it's like if watermelon jolly rancher actually was a natural flavour. But if you wait more than a day or two after picking they're not particularly good at all.

Maybe a John Gidley's Pearmain? ( https://www.fruitid.com/#view/1012 ) - but really don't know. Fruitid is great for fruit identification.

Grow an apple tree (several, actually, to pollinate each other) is what I'm saying I guess.

Maybe it would make more sense if you used only .c files; people typically expect only prototypes, type definitions, macros and so on in .h files.

Including one .c file in another is a bit odd, but less surprising. But then having include guards makes the entire thing a bit weird :)

This is just a heartbreaking, needless destruction of human life. Measles can be eradicated, there is no animal reservoir. Eradication of disease is an incredible gift to the future of humanity, and only gets harder with more population. The coming population increases in subsaharan Africa are probably going to take eradication of measles and polio off the map for a while, especially with anti-vaccine sentiment rising in Nigeria for example.
That's stretching the truth far too thin. Gavin was never being "silenced" by anyone. Ask himself yourself, he replies to email. It was very much his decision, and while he may have held some controversial opinions in the community, he never let this interfere with maintaining the software which he did in the best professional manner.

He makes no secret about his disappointment with some of the decisions (or, rather, non-decisions) around the project as of late, but this was several years after he stepped down maintaining the software in favor of his chief scientist role for the foundation.
Ask HN: What are the origins behind the name Y Combinator?

Didn't see a mention of a very fast way of exiting Vim, so sharing:

'The iTerm way': map cmd-l to send a hex code '0x6A 0x6B 0x3A 0x71 0x0D' (translates to jk:q<enter>, where jk is my Vim binding to get out of insert mode)

For me, just like any other touch typer, left thumb is always on cmd and right ring finger is always on 'l' key, so this arrangement takes least amount of time for me to quit Vim.
Lots of places have bays.
It's not only about the constant factor, but also about the fact that O is only valid toward infinity, and potentially about how computer actually work (e.g. the extreme discrepancy between the latency of L1 vs RAM)
I am happy you don't agree on modularity. I don't want to be correct, I want to arrive at correct conclusions. :)

Composition is great, scale free self similarity is probably the basis for the universe.

Modularity is a great design technique, it can also make things weaker and force other (unknowable) design choices because the module boundary prevents the flow of information/force. Overly constrained modular systems encourage globals, under constrained modular systems are asymptotic to mud/clay.

I don't want to use K8S as a strawman to attack modularity, but I think it is an example of using this powerful design tool to solve the wrong problem using mis-applied methods all the while being more complex and using more resources. In the case of designing systems, modules/objects/processes (Erlang sense) are critical, but not so much in building/engineering them. Demodularizing or fusing a design can make it more robust and more efficient.

I don't dislike modularity, I just think it is a bigger more complex topic than most give it credit for. Unix is highly-non modular and very poor composition. It sits on a molehill of a local maximum, itself sitting in the bottom of a Caldera, a sort of Wizard Mt on Wizard Island.

The way I view it is the following:

- Put everything in the C file.

- If you need a function visible outside, put it's _prototype_ in the .h file.

- If you want to have a variable visible outside, also make a extern declaration inside the .h file.

- If you want to have anything else visible to the outside, just move it to the .h file.

The reason I say that putting functions inside a .h file is a pain is because of the way the preprocessor works. It takes the contents of the included file and pastes it at the place of the include. So doing a function inside a .h file and using it inside multiple .c files will mean you have the same function multiple times and it will throw a linker error if the function is not static. At link time the linker will be confused because it will not know about witch of the functions you're talking about when you call it. So then you declare it static, but then you _actually_ have 2x functions inside your executable, that do the same thing.

This is even worse with variables declared static inside .h files since here you will think you're changing your variable, but you actually have separate variables inside each compiled file.

Of course, my observation is also based on taste. I like when I have everything inside one file, instead of spread over multiple files( of course, as long as this is reasonable). This program here might have had one single .c file and it would have been just file. I actually would have considered it easier to read, but as I said, it's a matter of taste at this point.
I heard a talk by Ulrich Kelber, the German federal data protection officer, two months ago. He admitted that it does not make much sense right now to encourage more people to report GDPR violations. As it stands, data protection agencies are already drowning in reports and most of them are horrendously underfunded. (Especially in EU countries that are not Germany. Germany has had strong data protection laws for a long time, so the staffing situation in our data protection agencies is slightly better.)

DB pensions spread their risk and return over multiple cohorts.

DC retirement plans heap all correlated market risk on individual retirees.

Given that the risks of an underfunding are greater than an overfunding, that market returns are exogenous to the merits of any given retiree, and the goal is to supply adequate income to live on in retirement, the arguments in favour of a DB plan, a payment mandate by the employer, a government backing, and severe penalties for malfeasance, including clawbacks to investors and creditors of deadbeat employers, seems more than appropriate.

It's a valid point. I think it all boils down to:

a) Grab a copy of your favorite show or movie as a blu-ray and rip that (which is illegal in most jurisdictions, as you have to break the copy protection).

b) Watch it on Netflix and grab it from somewhere else (which is also illegal, because you don't own it if you have Netflix)

c) Don't care at all and just download the stuff "from sources".

d) Just watch open or initially free stuff. That's even harder.

It's pretty hard to stay on the safe side for this kind of thing.

Maybe we will see the same we had with the music industry some time ago: It's possible for me to get a FLAC album without DRM nowadays from perfectly legal sources. Not every album and every niche, but I can buy it and own it. Maybe the movie industry will have the same moment in the next decade.
> - So, how did you learn Vim? I heard there's quite a learning curve.

You can go through the interactive vimtutor.

Type :help tutor

Or you can just type :help and find the link to the vimtutor. If you are using gVim, then it should be one of the menu items ( maybe under help? ).

My suggestion is to just search for basic vim cheat sheet if you are getting started. There are also youtube tutorials online. Sometimes watching someone work with vim can help you get over the hump.

> - I just open it, but I couldn't figure out how to quit.

:q to quit.

:q! to quit without saving.

Remember to hit ESC to get back to the normal mode first if you are in other modes.

When you are comfortable with Vim then you can go on to some of the advanced vim topics. Also, in the beginning you might have to ddg/google/etc a bit. Good luck.

Speaking in terms of fps games I believe it to be very easy for any human to detect aimbots when reviewing gameplay footage. Wallhacks are a bit trickier to detect, and probably requires longer reviews, but I'd estimate that above average players could quite accurately detect this hack as well. This leads me to believe this should be quite a good fit for machine learning, no? It just seems like a problem that lives in that space of "It's hard to define but I sure can tell when I see it" - which ML seems to excel in?

I was hopeful when I heard about mainstream loudness normalisation. I've been using ReplayGain for years and it's still superior due to storing both track and album level. It's unclear to me what Spotify etc is doing, but it's is track normalisation it's going to ruin albums.

There's a bigger problem, though. My girlfriend complained about volume fluctuations in her car between tracks. She uses an iPhone so I enabled "Soundcheck" (Apple's normalisation). It works fine in the car. But now she complains that headphones simply aren't loud enough. It turns out that the volume controls are essentially made for overly-compressed, loud content and can't sufficiently amplify dynamic content.

So, unfortunately, people will just turn it off and there's still an advantage to mastering "loud".
