I'm all for using types, and pre- and post-conditions where applicable, but I don't see how they would be a useful replacement to the situations in which probabilities would apply. Could you elaborate?

To give an example where I think probabilities would be used: consider a recognition AI that should figure out who someone is. You have a phone, on which you have some photos of its owner, some voice recordings, and some text messages. For each of those, the AI can assign probabilities that e.g. my voice matches the recordings, my face matches the photos, and my writing style matches the texts. Then it could combine these into an aggregate estimate probability that the phone belongs to me.

How would you use types and pre- and post- conditions to solve this problem?
Safe spaces aren't a substitute for a just and equitable society, they are a coping mechanism for the lack of one. They are to an unjust and inequitable society as a cast is to a broken bone -- necessary, but not sufficient.

Note that the methane molecule isn't removed from the atmosphere after it's "residency time", it oxidises into CO2 and water vapour.

i.e. a Methane molecule causes much more warming over a short timescale, but measured over millenia it's about the same as CO2.

Also - over 100 years the global warming potential (GWP) of methane is 28-36x that of CO2.

Oh dear. We also had a previous zero-day fixed around 7 months ago. But again, there are more critical bugs vs moderate ones here. It goes to show the sheer complexity of developing open-source browsers.

The problem is starting to look far more complicated than just swapping in languages, since there is a lot to think about in a browser.
Alright man, thanks :)
Your landing page should have, at minimum, a description of the product or a relevant video (maybe this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX0A9odwZ5U) before your ask for signups. I don't stream right now, so I have no incentive to sign up for this.

But I occasionally watch streams. Maybe I could recommend this to a streamer I watch. I imagine many people in my shoes would just close the tab at https://get.incent.com/ingage when it requires a log in. Maybe also some streamers, your target demographic, would close the tab if they are skeptical about giving a log in to a product they know nothing about.

That youtube video isn't ideal, maybe you have a better once, since it feels like it could be 30 seconds and the first half is the noisier half.

two points

1. the most of JS tooling stemming from browser compatibility issues does not mean that the issues still need to exist at the point that the tooling was established - it can take a while for established stuff to be moved out.

2. I think for most sites it isn't a problem, but for me the last 3 years has been work on big SPAs that need to generally also handle IE9 (degrade gracefully). And there is always stuff going on.
If the voice of an author can be heard through their writing, the act of reading can be affected by one's understanding of the author. "Death of the author" may be a useful critical technique but it's not the way most people emotionally or intellectually connect with art.

Having known this about Asimov for quite some time, it hasn't kept me from enjoying that of his work I really like, but it has somewhat dulled my enjoyment of him overall as an author. In particular, although it's never been a favorite of mine anyway, I can't see myself being able to avoid noticing that _Foundation's Edge_ has a plotline that pairs off a middle-aged professor with a young, pretty, sexually open-minded woman who is "bottom heavy".
In a language like Ruby and most imperative mutable ones pipelines could be a nice syntactic sugar for constructs like this

a = f1()
a = f2(a)
a = f3(a, b)
a = f4(a, c)

It becomes (let me use Unix pipes)

a = f1()
| f2()
| f3(b)
| f4(c)

OO idiomatically handles that by making each method return an object with the status and at least the next method to be called

a = f1().f2().f3(b).f4(c)

However unless the class of that object is something standard and already available like (example) Ruby's Enum, it's a pain to code it (and understand it later on) and people go for the shortcut of writing the code at the beginning of my reply.
Nice misquote.

But don't forget that places like GCHQ do not release information, so it would be very unusual to get "GCHQ helped identify these suspects". Here's one example where the GCHQ link was made clear (in news reporting), and it's pretty extreme.

> argues against the method of reading and criticism that relies on aspects of the author's identity to distill meaning from the author's work.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_the_Author

I recommend Lindsay Ellis' video on the subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGn9x4-Y_7A

Many of the golden age authors rage from "just" problematic like Asimov to a lot worse (see for more: http://www.jasonsanford.com/blog/2018/2/golden-age-sf-not-go...). I still read these authors but I for one cannot help see the author in their books, and knowledge of their actions certainly influences how I interpret these books. I therefore don't believe in Death of the Author.
If you can find it, the Kindle DX can be a good solution too. The screen is 9.7", big enough to fit an A4 paper. And it can read PDFs and allows uploads via USB cable.

Sadly, Amazon has discontinued it. And newer tablets are probably faster and/or have better resolution. But if you're willing to change its battery once it dies, a second hand one could be what you want.
> I don't want to be reminded, it depressed me.

I wholeheartedly agree. Weeks are a powerful visualization, but by comparing yourself to others in this way, you're setting yourself up for failure. Extreme success as pictured takes a mix of discipline and brilliance that's mixed with privilege, luck, health and extreme focus on a single area (leaving behind large sacrifices in others).

As my therapist used to say: To compare means to hurt.

The only race you should ever be running is the race against yesterday's Yourself and a visualization like this isn't helpful for that.

If you're after success and still procrastinating, the solution isn't adding more pressure, it's self-forgiveness [1], refusing to judge yourself [2] and being good to yourself.

If you do a week calendar, take the second picture of Tim's Wait but Why and make every week one where you either improved someone's life or had fun, preferably achieving both.

Everything else is irrelevant.

> Rust came to be to address the issue with security and there is not really an alternative.

Ada has been an alternative since 1983.

Oberon was an alternative in 1992.

Modula-3 was an alternative in 1988.

And while they don't fix use after free, Object Pascal dialects, Modula-2 have been better options to C in safety terms since ages.

What Rust has coming for it, is being on the forefront bringing affine types into mainstream languages and being more appealing to younger generations than a language like Ada.

This doesn't mean Rust is here to take it all.

In fact, I don't have any specific use case where Rust would excel, AOT compiled languages with value types and automatic memory management fulfill much better my use cases.

Yes, I agree with you. For production compilers, with hand-coded parsers, it is a waste of space to store all files in memory. Please note that I was talking about introductions to scanning and parsing. I just feel there is no need to make things more complicated than they need to be, when you are introducing somebody to parsing and scanning. Most people who study computer science, will likely, when they need to do some scanning and parsing, not having to deal with files, but have strings at hand. For an introduction to parsing and scanning, I even would suggest to begin with a back-tracking recursive decent parser, to talk about the essence of parsing. Please note that if you add a little caching, such a parser can have descent performance for many applications that an average software engineer will encounter. For all other applications, standard libraries and/or compilers exist. See https://github.com/FransFaase/IParse for an example of this approach.

Anyway, please do not compare disk space to build with source code size. (I understand that the debug version of uses a lot of static linking with debug information.) I understand that the Linux kernel is 28 million lines of code. Even with 80 characters per line, when I think an average of 40, is far more realistic, that will be under 2 GB. So, yes, you can store all source file in RAM on any descent computer. (I did not find any recent number of lines of code for LLVM/Clang, but extrapolating it, I guess it is in the same order as the Linux Kernel.)
I most surely misunderstand something: why are templates not replaceable with Rust generics?
A reading list for the modern critical programmer
The real dilema though is everyone has done something wrong. Everyone.

So why do some people get called out and lambasted while other continue (right now) to get away with it?

I think there is a mob mentality out there that controls the media and wants to take down a very specific set of people and leave the others standing.

Edit: To not be misunderstood I have personally suffered molestation as a kid/teen, and even the single photo of Asimov trying to kiss that girl is sickening. Power, fame and narcissism corrupts.
Azure sales are very good at offering big discounts and incentives for getting people to migrate, I have seen many enterprises suddenly switch to azure because of big discounts but have never seen any enterprise suddenly switch to aws or gcp.
Unfortunately, Enterprise deals are more based on sales skills than technology. Companies like Microsoft tend to have multiple ongoing points of contact with their Enterprise customers such as account managers, technical account managers, professional services consultants etc. These points of contact are (hopefully) doing whatever it is the customer wants them to but are also feeding back intel to their (Microsoft's) sales team(s) all sorts of details about what they see and hear from the customer. Microsoft has had a couple of decades (or more) to burrow deep inside customer organizations that Amazon hasn't.

> "don't keep protecting harassers"

it's not just people protecting bad behavior, omerta within a social circle is often a failure of the state/society to safely protect people in the circle from being outed when they speak up while the problematic person gets away scot-free. you need to reach a critical cultural mass before people are confident in speaking up, because the fear of retaliation is often the motivation before the need to protect the circle, see i.e. the harvey weinstein case.

They tried it this year, and surprise surprise, not all of the ones that were supposed to die actually died, (or didn't become sick enough to become sterile) resulting in some "artificial" DNA now wild in the breeding gene pool. It was supposed to be limited to sterile males or fathers that could only offspring sterile males.

Actual impact TBD. But population did decrease significantly for months.
I guess this can be considered excellent news by current standards. In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king after all.

According to the latest UN emissions gap report we need to reduce global emissions by 7.6% every year starting now to meet Paris agreement. And given US position in the world, it should probably do more than global average.

What build tools do you use that ensure your site works consistently across different browser versions without needing any browser-version-specific testing/fixes on your part?

I've worked on web pages that use what seems to be a pretty standard Webpack/Babel/PostCSS/etc setup, and they still ran into some issues where layout or behavior was different between browsers. Either because they used a CSS property value or JavaScript API (or API parameter/option) that wasn't available everywhere, or because of more subtle disagreements between browsers about things like where an inline element's containing block is.

Same! I never used Rails much but did learn Ruby and used it a lot for the kind of stuff people tend to use Python for nowadays. Data crunching, prototyping, sciency stuff.. It's excellent for that.

I mean, Ruby is so much more elegant and consistent than Python, I'll never understand how Python became the more widely appreciated language of the two, especially with the effective head start that Ruby had through Rails' popularity.
The author of the linked piece doesn't really ascribe any moral value to the Great Wall that I can see. Something can be monumental without being good.

Borges certainly doesn't describe the building of the Wall as a good thing:

> Herbert Allen Giles relates that those who concealed books were branded by a red-hot iron and condemned to build the outrageous wall until the day of their death. This information favors or tolerates another interpretation. Perhaps the wall was a metaphor, maybe Shih Huang Ti condemned those who worshipped the past to a work just as vast as the past, as stupid and useless.

Borges isn't comparing a good act and an evil one. He's comparing a great creation with a great destruction -- the building of an enduring historical artifact with the destruction of recorded history.
Non tech centric people go with options which are cheap and just work -> MS products. You buy windows, you buy 365 you buy Azure , makes things cheaper. IT product centric companies focus on quality which you get on AWS.

No doubt most banks would just go with MS products but fintech banks are with AWS - n26, revolut, transferwise (not a bank though).

However it's the best not to rely on any single provider and keep your eggs in different basket. But AWS is the first choice when you think about quality. MS the first when you think about cost cutting.
