Mind here that it can also be for the patient's peace of mind. My grandfather was faced with a similar dilemna, terminally ill from pancreatic cancer, with a long-shot to try to cure it. The doctors were wonderfully frank about the potential for failure and "time lost"; even still, he opted to go down fighting. Alas, his liver wasn't strong enough to sustain the treatment, and it just ended up killing him faster.

He was a spiritual man and didn't seem regret the decision, but his family had a harder time with it. They were arguing for something closer to hospice, and wanted to take him traveling to enjoy the last months of his life in relative peace. In the end, that didn't get to happen.

There will always be a twinge of regret, I think. One can always look back and ask, "what if we had done it this way?" But it was the way he wanted to go, and I think the knowledge that he had tried everything that he could helped him to find peace.

This diagram covers initializing the library, which is a few lines of code and a few functions, as is often the case when initializing libraries. On the surface, it misrepresents things as they are commonly used post setup by mixing the entire redux flow into one diagram.

setup -> actionCreator calls dispatch -> update store (reducer) -> update connected component.

The latest version of Redux also address some of the verbosity between actions and reducers and so on, too, to address feedback.

yep, you read that right. Source: I am a PhD student at Stanford at the Stanford Vision and Learning lab (http://svl.stanford.edu/) and read a ton of AI papers. The vast majority of papers are done with datasets anyone can just download / request, as far as I've seen.
I'm sorry you don't understand how civil lawsuits work. It would probably help you immensely to learn at least the basics before forming opinions though.

>And besides, it's super cheap and easy to win in court if truth and justice are on your side.

Well if Hogan's lawsuit was frivolous and without merit, then Gawker would have actually had all its fees/costs paid for. However, as you know that isn't remotely close to reality, the case went to trial (which less than 10% do) and the Jury found Gawker liable and not just for $115M in damages but $25 in punitive damages...that is special damages designed to punish Gawker for their behavior. Tell yourself all you want Thiel is responsible.

No one forced Gawker to fight an obviously losing case, they did so at their own peril and incurred additional unnecessary fees doing so...they have no one to blame but themselves. They could have just accepted a judgment and gone straight to calculating damages.

Your position is effectively no different than blaming police and prosecutors for arresting/convicting a murder because they are well funded. Somehow you gloss over the fact that the murderer is culpable for their illegal act, and wouldn't be in prison if they didn't commit murder.
My wife had one miscarriage, we're pretty robust but it was quite brutal, friends have certainly had many more.

We had to wait a bit before trying again but not too long later had twins and in an odd sort of way it seemed like that gave some balance to the situation.
“Moving to rust” is too strong; they are both adopting Rust for real, production use cases. I’ll give you one example of each: Google is using Rust in ChromeOS, at the virtualization later, and Microsoft is using ripgrep to power the search for VS: Code. There’s more than just that but those are the two easiest things to point to.
Indeed. A lot of the modern internet "beefs" remind me of football "ultras"; the sport is really a pretext for the punchup, or at least the singing of death threats at each other.

Kyle, for what it's worth as a counterpoint, I've grumbled a couple of times about bugs and the 1P team has not come across as defensive at all to me.

Particularly after the nonsense support LastPass gives, it was a pleasant experience, even if my grumbles hold true.

It's not a perfect product by any means but still light years better than LastPass in usability.

I appreciate your comment, but my experience has sadly been the opposite of what you describe. Perhaps I've just been unlucky, or maybe I just come off as an asshole, but people in Bay Area LGBT circles have been quicker to find disagreement and ghost me from their lives than any other group of people I've ever met. After the third or fourth time losing what I thought was a close friend over what felt like a petty disagreement I have become very disillusioned with the entire concept of "queer community". I feel like I've grown more as a person through my friendships with the handful of self-described religious people I've met here by accepting and being able to discuss issues where we disagree.

BBC struggles, so many missed opportunities with iPlayer
This is an interesting framework in which to analyse the Internet and the communication that occurs on the Internet, but I don't think all parts of the analysis are correct. Or at least, I think many assumptions about the reasons for people behaving as they do have been made, that are not necessarily correct. I think the observations of behaviour are fairly accurate for some significnat proportion of those involved though.

Could it be, that the Internet has simply magnifed what humans have already been doing for hundreds (thousands?) of years? The rise of the Internet has also coincided with a large portion of the English speaking world (where the Internet first originated) being at the highest point of literacy and education in history. This simply means that the ability of each human to express their own ideas to another human is at an all time high. Now, add to that the ability to:
* Observe the large numbers of people that agree with you (social media)
* Broadcast your opinions on other groups of people to everybody that agrees with, and to everybody that disagrees with you (social media)
* Carry the ability to make these broadcasts with you at all times (smartphones, tablets)
* Be able to get instant feedback on your broadcasts (real time messaging, notifications)

... and you have simply magnifed existing human conflicts, desires for attention and belonging, opinionatedness, and so on, by many orders of magnitude.

What we are seeing on the Internet is simply the human experience and human nature on steriods.

The writer raises some doubt about how much of what they call the Internet of Beef is actually a culture war. But I have no doubt in my mind that it is a culture war. What is culture? The collective views, values, customs, art, morals, and beliefs of a large somewhat cohesive group of people. This is exactly what is being constantly debated, influenced, changed, synthesized, refined, and convoluted by the on-going Internet wars. It is shaping our culture.

Internet culture - due to the prevalence of smartphones and other devices - has begun (it begun a while ago) leaking into everyday culture. It makes sense then, that the politics of the day would be influenced by what happens online too. You can no longer separate the online world from the "real" world. The real world is made up in large part by the Internet world. Our culture has simply been given superpowers if you like, in order to rapdily evolve and shift and change at unprecedented speed.

There are teachers out there giving kids deserved bad grades on a regular basis. Hospital workers change bedpans. Veterinarians have to euthanize family pets.

Do you want more examples?

But, yeah, sometimes the adults in the room have to correct a misconception or ask the trolls to leave.

For tips? Consider others as more important than yourself, even when you need to do something unpleasant. You'll find that teachers, hospital staff, and vets all find ways to do that when "nice" isn't possible.

>conflict is the most engaging kind of engagement

This doesn't feel right. I ask myself, do I go places to look for people to fight with? Emphatically no. Do you? Probably not. I just read this great|hateful book|movie|thing. I want to talk about it with people who have experienced this book|movie|thing, would be great if they saw it the way I did, also great if they disagreed but we could discuss it with a shared language and experience. I feel we are too far apart and too lonesome to go around picking fight, do picking fights form groups? I don't usually engage because 1) strangers on the Internet mean little to me; 2) I think I hold an unpopular opinion; 3) I'm not driven to articulate every thought I have. Conflict drives a good story, I think that's true in a narrative sense, but I don't think it's true we humans go looking for it. I want to believe we are more cooperative creature than a belligerent one. The whole Twitter/Facebook "like" culture is a testament, we want to belong.

Ok, we've put tactics in the title.
"There are dozens of academic groups, with researchers likely numbering in the (low) hundreds, working on protein structure prediction. We have been working on this problem for decades, with vast expertise built up on both sides of the Atlantic and Pacific, and not insignificant computational resources when measured collectively. For DeepMind’s group of ~10 researchers, with primarily (but certainly not exclusively) ML expertise, to so thoroughly route everyone surely demonstrates the structural inefficiency of academic science."

"What is worse than academic groups getting scooped by DeepMind? The fact that the collective powers of Novartis, Pfizer, etc, with their hundreds of thousands (~million?) of employees, let an industrial lab that is a complete outsider to the field, with virtually no prior molecular sciences experience, come in and thoroughly beat them on a problem that is, quite frankly, of far greater importance to pharmaceuticals than it is to Alphabet. It is an indictment of the laughable “basic research” groups of these companies, which pay lip service to fundamental science but focus myopically on target-driven research that they managed to so badly embarrass themselves in this episode."

In the scope of miscarriages I think culture definitely makes it more traumatic. Miscarriages are not uncommon but some how many cultures tend to stigmatize it and then blame the woman, as if it was something in her control. The constant reminder, blaming or just having that social pressure looming over of not having a successful child birth has to be some sort of trauma magnitude multiplier.
You're beefing right now. I will try to explain it to you another way. Maybe you'll get it. See, this is why we can't have nice things. I put that in there to purposefully trigger any beefers and you popped off like a firework. I could have changed it to "... and then Trump becomes president" and you would have smiled approvingly like a good mook. Unfortunately, you're just another robot. Heck, an AI can just play madlibs with you for days and hit all your buttons because you can't think deeper than identity the opponents argument and pick an associated emotion to feel. You throw out the whole rest of the argument and focus on the emotion producing sentence fragment because you got triggered. This is the problem with online social discourse in the 21st century.
We had a rough pregnancy and reading those stats was heartbreaking to me. Everything ended up ok, but we feared for the worst many times and it took us a long time to get pregnant. It is one reason why I don't want to try again as I don't want to go through that again and have it not turn out alright. We found out my mother in law had several before she had several healthy children.
Nice to see some love for FreeBSD. My intro to +nix in the mid 90s started with FreeBSD as well. Back then, I used to tag along with my dad in the summer to work occasionally (two working parents, and dad ran/runs a small telecom business). In the supply closet I saw a shelf with boxes lined up that all had a cool-ass little devil on them. Being interested in computers from my fathers influence, I asked him what the 'Devil Software' was in the storage closet, and he explained that it was an operating system like Windows sort-of (which at the time I was already well in to understanding how to re-install =), but that it ran on Voicemail Servers - stuff with specific needs - because it was very 'flexible in configuration', as he put it. He then gave me a voicemail box and the manual, and said he would give me $20 if I could get the 'Devil Software' installed on the machine from a blank HDD. This. was. huge. $20 to a 13 yr old was serious dough. Eventually I was successful (to his surprise? or dismay? haha since he was out 20 bucks). He was proud, and that made me proud, and that started the journey that is still ongoing to this day. Will note, father exploited me for cheap labor throughout my teens as my interest/experience with BSD, and eventually GNU/Linux increased =). Although I am a GNU person these days, FreeBSD is always close to my heart, and helped me understand the +nix ecosystem from an early age.
To be honest it’s probably not worth running FreeBSD on a laptop/desktop - it’s really a server operating system. If you are looking for a well engineered, stable, ‘traditional’ UNIX system sitting in a rack and happy with a terminal interface it’s an amazing OS. Lots of people however seem to be trying out on laptops/desktops and being disappointed which isn't a huge surprise.

Humanity itself is cancer.
If the architects of these conflicts behave in ways that maximize the duration of the conflicts and minimize the chance of resolution, then that sounds like beef-first thinking.

If it's just two (or n-many) sides caught in an asymmetric struggle where they both want some sort of resolution and neither one has the resources to get there, then I see that as a stalemate.

Most wars to me don't seem to be beef-first because they resolve eventually. Even when they go on for a while, it's usually because one or more faction/s isn't able to end it and the other/s aren't okay with the costs of ending it. If a war could be ended at a reasonable cost to someone, and they decide they would rather have it continue indefinitely, then that's closer to beef-first thinking.
I want to be clear that I think CLAs can be a bad idea for contributors and people should think carefully before signing them. But since the AGPL doesn't obligate you to sign a CLA, I don't see how the existence of CLAs is an indictment of the AGPL or of dual-licensed business models. It's my belief that most dual-licensed software wouldn't be open sourced at all (and a lot of it wouldn't exist at all) without the dual-license model that Kuhn opposes.

For better or worse, the definition of researcher has morphed into a combination of

1. Solves previously unsolved problems

2. Publishes papers sharing those solutions

without regard to the kind/spirit/scope of problems solved.

Since conference publications don’t have the same number constraints as journal papers, and are accepting of application-specific results, this explosion of what is considered “research” is somewhat inevitable. Also, there are a lot of people chasing this given the prestige associated with the title.
That'd be funny.

Not really. The roots of OS X/MacOS are in NeXTSTEP. It uses a Mach microkernel that originated at CMU, as opposed to the FreeBSD kernel (or anything like it, really).

That said, a bunch of FreeBSD userland code and utilities were ported over to make the OS POSIX-ish.

It's probably easiest to think of a Mac as an amalgam of many different influences and operating behaviors, as opposed to a direct descendant of any one particular lineage.

As cool as Canvas and WebGL are, they also enable privacy violations, allowing web browsers to be uniquely fingerprinted.

I've written a dozen internal dashboards where something like this would have been useful. Rather than writing server side code to craft queries and return results, you can add arbitrary queries easily to the front end. Just use a read-only DB account and you are golden.

Is it the right way to do it? No.

Is it something you can stand up in a few hours so you can work on the things that keep your startup afloat instead? Absolutely.

I was thinking recently about a related problem: suppose all I care about is feeding my C compiler with code which is entirely free of undefined behaviour. How would I do that?

MISRA C doesn't get me there - it helps, but isn't enough to guarantee the absence of undefined behaviour, despite its 'rule' to avoid UB [0] (which is not mechanically verifiable). It would presumably be possible to use a Turing-complete subset of C, defined such that compliance to it could be verified automatically. I imagine such a subset might be awfully claustrophobic, but my intuition is that this should be possible.

Another approach would be to write code in a different language entirely - either one defined to be free of undefined-behaviour, or one where the absence of it can practically be established statically/automatically. We could then transpile to C code. The transpiler could then guarantee never to generate C code with undefined behaviour.

It seems to be possible to do this today by writing Ada SPARK code and using the (proprietary, terribly pricey) CCG transpiler. [1] (SPARK is a fine choice here. When programming in the SPARK subset, it's impossible to invoke Ada's equivalent of undefined behaviour [0].)

Is there a 'tidier' answer to this problem, or perhaps something obvious that I'm missing?

A related question: is there a 'tidy' way that I can be certain my C code is insensitive to platform-specific behaviours (what C calls unspecified), such as the evaluation-order of argument expressions?

Iplayer launched as a new TV box, yet they failed to capitalise on the launch of Blue Planet, that came just before it. if made an exclusive, Sir David Attenborough alone would gather everyone’s attention. Great TV shows, crime dramas, but no publicity or cover from the media whatsoever, until it reaches netflix and the likes. Quite sad tbh :( or just lack of vision
The scary thing is that if we do not change the system, then the growth rate of capital will continue increasing and the inequality gap will just grow and grow. Remember that ONLY 30% of American graduate from college. If we don't change something those 70% of Americans will have a very rough life ahead of them. This is why I support Andrew Yang and a Universal Basic Income (which MLK also supported, he called it Guaranteed Income). Andrew Yang also has many other good policies that I've believed in for a long time, such as ranked choice voting, universal healthcare, and my pet favorite–abolishing the penny.
