How is this different from the colour chart idea? If we know how some actual KNOWN RGB pixels look in a particular setup, we can apply the same filter across the image. Right?
As I understand it, in summary: someone filed a police report, the police suspect the person staged the incident being reported (so now they're a suspect themselves) and subpoenas their data.

Okay? This is news, how? Should I know the person that allegedly staged it, or is it new that a judge approves a search warrant that allows time-limited access to a suspect's data? Does it matter that they're an actor? (An overloaded term that makes the title quite unclear)

And a little meta: should we change the link to something everyone can actually read or do we want to keep this discussion limited to people from certain continents?
Everything else you wrote is purely subjective: easier to connect? better than more expensive over ear noise cancelling headphones, really? Competitive price at $160? oof.

As a young Greek, I had no idea the battle of Alesia was real. It was something that I read on Asterix, and since the name of the Gallic leader was Vercingetorix, I thought the entire thing was made up by Uderzo/Goscinny :-).

Thanks to the internet though, I discovered the facts a few years after I have read the reference in the comic book.

We know so little about our neighbours, about other countries!
I've been thinking about how best to get people the information they need to deal with the climate crisis.

I'm thinking about a community run portal to try and match person to the correct advice. E.g. someone with investments should find advice about how to invest to help. People interested in acting locally should find environmental groups to join. Activist people .

Google is fine if you know what you are looking for, but I have come across a few different times where I didn't know the correct terminology. E.g. I wanted to find something like a community energy group in my local area, but I didn't know what it was called.

I'm not currently sure how to do this. Some form of search engine where people put in information about themselves is a possibility. Or an advanced directory.

It means you're an adult, capable of simultaneously recognizing the merits of artistic works and complex ethical realities.

Are Caravaggio's paintings less beautiful because he killed someone? I think to suggest so is absurd. It doesn't mean you have to like the artist as a person, but to directly tie the value of a work of art to its creator is dangerously reductive.
Did Norton Commander trim the tree in order to show a deeper overview ? I don't think it did (or I don't remember that feature).

I've often wondered if the E-ink management came from the pharmaceutical industry. They seem insistent on extracting the maximum dollar amount _per unit_ rather than maximizing revenue or making the technology available to those who would benefit from it.

I would pay any reasonable - and even a slightly unreasonable - price for a full E-ink phone, because I am a business user and do not care about consuming media. Likewise for a laptop or desktop screen. Yet they are all but unavailable!

An aside about the article's author. His blog is very interesting and full of fantastic articles that will delight a science fiction fan, especially for those who like their SF combined with "high" literature. He writes thoughtfully also on the craft of being an SF writer, showing discipline and care. Given all of that, I was really looking forward to read his first novel. Well, I wish I hadn't done it. It was terrible in almost every aspect: Pace, dialogue, characters, plot, and prose. It goes to show for the n-th time that to theorize about a topic is a very different skill that to practice it well.
Is my memory failing me, but I seem to recall in one of the Foundation books one of the female characters is interrogated and assaulted during the interrogation, but she just shrugs it off.

It seriously disturbed me when I read it.

You are confusing 'character-led' with 'includes characters.' Plenty of stories are primarily about an abstract idea, place, or ethical lesson and the characters only exist to explain the ideas or move the plot along. This is in contrast to 'character-led' fiction, in which the primary focus is the character themselves and their development.
I've been programming for 50 years. Nothing fundamental has changed.

Computers are "intellectual mirrors". What you get reflects what you think you want. Which is almost never what you actually want.

Wrapping "tools" around the intellectual mirror is putting makeup on. It makes you look better but you're still the problem.
If you go to a gaming convention and see someone literally shoot people, yeah, I guess you should stop that too. There's a difference between fiction and reality, and this sexual harassment is taking place within the scene in reality.

>Also I don't think anyone but an academic will be reading his work in a few hundred years. As much as I enjoy his ideas and his easy style he is actually mediocre.

While I don't agree 100%, that never hurt any artist's commercial success or fan following...

In any case, for the sci-fi field he's one of the classics. Most others in the genre weren't exactly subtle deep literature either, it's the ideas and sci-fi exploration of them that count.
I wouldn't say I'm a C programmer at all though I did manage to struggle through producing a very simple C-extension for Ruby once. Recently, I had to debug one that wouldn't install. Could I find well written, up to date documents?

No. I found bits and pieces scattered in blog posts and gists, and wildly different ways of making extensions.

It was incredibly vexing and I would've happily used Python - or anything else - at that moment. The number of times I find hardcoded paths in Ruby extensions is mind boggling. I guess "it works on my computer" is okay for some but to me it seems amateurish. I don't blame the library authors as much as the core team for this because the documentation and examples are so bad. Not a good look for a mature language.

I'm looking at learning Crystal and Elixir because they'll (hopefully in Crystal's case) fix a lot of the glaring-but-never-fixed problems in the Ruby ecosystem for me.

Ironically enough I've spent my afternoon fighting with a Ruby C-extension that won't install!
Just a quick remark but for a simple command line utility, I really like a static binary you only need to download, drop into a directory in the path. I am always wary of tools that need to install either a python or node.js distribution, because this seems unnecessary bloat, and might mess with local install if you are not careful.

Seems like you really hadn't done your research. Deathbycaptcha has been around for probably a decade now and their rates were always something like $0.1 per captcha.
That's not it though, captchas take profiles, so if you correctly configure your profiles then it becomes even less than $0.1 per solve as a profile might only get 1 captcha per 10 requests.

It's dead easy to get around captchas unless you're just a casual scripter that wants to `wget` that one article - then fuck that guy, right?
> Can you study physics after learning that Einstein was a racist bigot just like hitler?

Thankfully to us, Einstein was not just like Hitler. Einstein was an asshole to his wife and had few personal flaws, but he very conclusively did not displayed same behavior nor same opinions as Hitler. Einstein had also some good redeeming qualities like pretty strong anti-racism.

He is a bit -- at the end of the article there is a suggestion that they two acts cancel each other out, and we can agree that the burning of books is an evil one.
Often theorizing about something makes it much harder to do it, because you get bogged down by constantly thinking about how bad what you're doing is.
"Tesla delivered an impressive number of 112,000 vehicles during the final three months of 2019."

I get that people like this company, but this isn't even as credible as pop stars who've been said to be more popular than The Beatles ever were because of the increased number of people listening to music: GM sold 10 million cars in one year just a few years ago.
I say this as someone who used to firmly agree with this position, but in the last year my mind has been changed without reservation.

The time where this was a good idea has genuinely passed. There is no earthly way that any reasonable organization will be able to provide even the security that is present by relying on a large-scale cloud provider.

There is no way they will come out on top money-wise either. The big cloud players have a _absurd_ number of servers that _teams_ of some of the best CA talent the globe has to offer stressing to improve KPIs for.

Smalltalk-80 already had lambdas and LINQ, they were just called blocks and collection methods instead.

Pattern matching in OOP languages was a path pursued by BETA, Simula's successor by the same authors, where even classes are instances of patterns as concept.

The measurements would have been the same in both cases: therefore it would have been a) designed correctly and implemented correctly, or b) designed incorrectly, but caught in the design phase, looping back into a). This way, you get c) designed correctly, but implemented incorrectly or d) designed incorrectly and the design implemented as specified, in both cases leading to an unworkable implementation.

I completely disagree - I find the Azure interface, delightful to work with. And best of all, it's consistent, which can't be said for AWS' UI, which mostly looks very dated and differs from service to service.

No. An insanely complex Eclipse based Java product I maintained had hundreds of dependencies (including transitive), from a handful of vendors (> 20). Apparently, an simple JS app[0] can have 40000 packages (from hundreds of vendors).

This is insane.

>It's not about reading his work, it's about being an aspirational figure that generations want to follow and emulate.

People can still "follow and emulate" the achievements he did, not whatever bad side.

Like people still try to follow all kinds of public figures, despite their known bad sides, from Hemingway to Jobs.

Else we would only follow saints.

() not to mention, if the tide turns, even the bad side could be "cool" again. There are even people into things like satanism or self-destruction, or womanizing, or machoism after all, and they too have their idols.
For all people writing "is this different from physical documents?" the answer is yes. You have to think a little bit further than tomorrow. This is the perfect step for a totalitarian police government like China.

You don't want the government to control your money with taxes and your health with social insurance, so why do you want it to control every aspect of your private life?
I expect one could complain and it seems apparent at least some did, but in the context of the environment it would have seemed out of place, it's very hard to apply contemporary moral values to historical times, morality is not a fixed thing, our lives are entwined with social convention that for the most part is invisible until viewed from the future. Try and consider now, what things we do that in the future could be seen as abhorrent, it's hard, eating meat maybe, not including externalized costs in commercial endeavours, but, history shows, it's probably true that something we do now will fall 'out of time' and be viewed as a moral deviation in the 'new contemporary'.
Ncdu is very good as well. But little known.

To chime in with another single data point, my experience with Azure support has actually been pretty good. Tickets take anywhere between 2h and 72h to get a response, which I'll grant is not ideal, but the ticket handlers I've dealt with have all been knowledgeable and helpful.

I work for enterprise-level companies though, so I don't know if support varies for smaller ones depending on spend.
That's why I actually do a lot of my data science work with Groovy. I just find Python awkward, frustrating and way underpowered as a language (both in terms of language itself but, of course performance as soon as you need to implement anything and not just glue other things together). Groovy + JVM accessible numerical libraries (Smile, ND4J etc) actually make a pretty good combination, even if you do not have access to the state of the art stuff that is going on in R / Python.
That's on point, I used the Azure platform for around two weeks to see if it would be worth for our company to move to it and my account got randomly banned, no answer from support except that they don't want to say why. I'd not trust Azure to put anything important on it based on my past experience.
> the complexity in front end web development and the development costs that come from it are a real issue and shouldn't be dismissed

I would argue that it's an absurdly overblown issue. The "costs" are a clear net gain which is why these tools are all but ubiquitous. Developer hype only goes so far, these tools are a proven success across every major tech company with a front-end presence. All this supposed complexity is a holistic improvement over the past, especially because all the same libraries and techniques from 20 years ago and everything in between work exactly the same way today.

> Anyone who's had to maintain one of these projects long term without a massive team or inherited an older codebase understands that there are serious churn / depenency hell / code rot and complexity issues here and layering more and more abstractions on top to try and dig ourselves out of the hole we're in might not be working anymore.

Sounds like literally every piece of corporate software I've worked on that's older than 10 years. 10 year old php app? 15 year old c++ app? 15 year old vb6 app? 15 year old c app? Those are all examples of previous nightmares I have experienced and none of them were any easier to handle than a shitty angular mess. At least the browser is incredibly resilient with regard to failure states... try debugging intermittent crashes in a legacy c++ app preserved in a tacky lacquer of clever templating voodoo; nothing in js land even comes close to my time in the c++ insane asylum.
That (Arabizi and other romanizations) are in wide use now specifically because the latin alphabet was the de facto standard in the computer world. In hypotheical above, that is not likely the case, and you would have to use actual Arabic script.
> SF is rarely character-led and it may be optimistic to expect depth or nuance from it

I don't agree with this assessment at all.

The best SF I've read has believable characters with real motivations.

Off the top of my head:

* Paul McAuley's Quiet War series

* Ken McLeod's Fall Revolution series, "The Execution Channel"

* Bester's "The Stars My Destination" - a recent read, and the character arc is cribbed from The Count of Monte Cristo, but the SF parafernalia is a backdrop for the character.

>he only real counter-argument to this is that it might affect people's ranks.

No. The difference between chess and and MOBA is it's 1v1 instead of 5v5.

The counter argument I'm implying here is that nearly every game would go like this:

-Game start

-Lane phase begins

-Top laner dies at level 2

-Top laner tries to get revenge at level 3, dies again.

-Top laner unilaterally spends the token to jump into another game. It's game over. You spent 15 minutes getting a game together, and 5 minutes loading the game, and 3 minutes for the boring part of gameplay to start, so that you could experience 2 minutes of the boring part of gameplay. That will be every game. It's already a decent amount of games with the punishment.
I get the technology and with a random disk it could make sense: there is no way to prove that there will be a hidden volume. But if you use this with a device that was built to support this, the plausible deniability becomes less believable.

> We have a direct line to Seattle, and parts of what we ring up at tickets have made it into the global 365 infrastructure.

This is great for one business, but bad for the whole of businesses IMHO. Microsoft shoehorns every little thing into their products, never asking themselves if they should. As long as they think they can they will. This leads to stupid things like Durable (aka stateful) Azure Functions. Durable functions is a product of a business either not knowing how to use FaaS properly, or they were misusing FaaS for something where they should have chosen a different tech. But Microsoft being Microsoft will try to accommodate any stupidity they can as long as it will please some big customer. In the beginning they get away with it, but over the years that's how they always end up with half baked, slow and buggy products which are inconsistent, incoherent and just awful to use. Azure is certainly on that trajectory from everything I've seen so far and I use Azure every day at a client at the moment so I know what I'm speaking of.
The difference is that in this case the same colour will look different depending on how far away it is.
