Without actually digging into it, I would assume that nytimes loads js assets from a third party, that's the direct nodes from the center. The size of the more is the size of the js asset. That third party then injects yet another script onto the page. The next connected nodes represent these scripts and their size. And so on and so forth. These scripts ensure to the advertiser that their ad is actually being shown. The advertiser doesn't trust the hosting page to correctly display their ad, so the ad injects their own tracking script. That tracking script injects their dependencies. Thus this madness.
It may also be an attempt to work around Ad blocking browsers like Brave.

I can understand why the author is angry at TeX, but I think it's mainly a misunderstanding.
TeX is very low-level, it was designed that way and never pretended to be anything else. That's why people created macros around it, and LaTeX is the most successful of them.

I happen to have worked on many document generation systems in my career, I have written systems targetting odt, docx, postscript, and pdf, either from scratch (for odt and docx) or xsl/fo (ps), docbook (pdf) or TeX/LaTeX (pdf).

The most satisfying, easy-to-build, but not the easiest-to-understand, the one that gave the best result in terms of time-to-develop/quality/satisfaction was TeX/LaTeX.
So sure, the math can suck in TeX, maybe, I don't know (didn't feel that way at uni when I was using it for that), but as a typesettings low-level language to target, it does a very good job.

Also I fail to see how TeX is an issue, or even how it prevents competition to happen, when all it takes is writing a better front-end language for it.

Really, I think people will realize at one time that there is no way around simply forbidding advertisements to make internet sane again.

If 10% of the ingenuity spent in the ad/tracking system went towards microtransactions, instead of having to swim through a sewer of ads on any website, we would be rewarding each other with micro-dollars for insightful comments and giving 5% of it to the host.

I don't buy this.

These kinds of sites are already behind a paywall for most of the content you'd want to see, as Graham notes. I do not understand why sites like the New York Times, which generate massive amounts of traffic as far as I know, cannot use other real estate on their websites to serve static ads with zero nefarious tracking enabled. The model already exists for their physical product. I fail to see why we can't have a version of the Internet that ports over that previously successful system.

I don't work in Internet ads; I work in hardware. So maybe someone here can help me understand why what I would otherwise assume to be a simple implementation is viewed as impossible. I'm obviously missing something.
There is no such thing as "training code".

You have a model that you have trained on some provided data - the training set. You give kaggle this model. Kaggle grades your model on some different data your model has never seen. The better your model classifies this data it hasn't seen the higher it scores and the more money you win.

So again if you trained your model (code) on a training set that you have illegally obtained. That is broken the rules of the competition to get the additional data. Data that is also going to be used for competition verification and grading, then you have cheated. Doubly so if you just hardcode outputs to boost your score, which they did here.

They took the official training set. Said, we need more. And scraped websites to get a bigger, illegal training set. This is against the rules and is cheating. They got caught.

It really is equivalent to looking up the answer sheet while taking an exam.

Political theory is useless at school. At best children would be totally lost in the plethora of ideologies without proper understanding of why people invented them. At worst they would be indoctrinated with the ideology, chosen by the government (usually the case).

What we really need to teach children is decision making and responsibility taking. School is to obsessed with learning the facts omitting scepticism and problem solving whatsoever. Kids are being taught recipes, not how to act when you don't know the right one.

Lack of universal success is poor evidence for failure here. School is the only environment in which anyone spends most of their day sitting down with minimal freedom to choose when to get up or freedom over when to use the bathroom.

It also teaches obedience to authority and tolerance for pointless busywork. That not all children learn the lesson is not evidence it’s not taught.

I don't know if there are stats available, but the requests per second has got to be huge.

There are a ton of ISPs, and many of them run regional recursive servers. Each of those servers is going to see a ton of different domains that they need to query at the registry servers. Most registries are serving glue records with a 1-3 day TTL, but ISP caches may not have enough memory to keep the long tail names in cache for that long, and the long tail is long. There's millions of domain names to query the registry servers for.
> Indeed many in Rust community do not realize that the LLVM infrastructure they use for Rust to make its code executable by real hardware is itself written in C++.

And the operating system is written in C, and the CPU in VHDL (or sth similar). Compiling itself is a property that only academics take care of. LLVM and C are not going anywhere anytime soon. There are more important things to do now. That's why Rust is already much more loved and popular language than Haskell - because it focused on important stuff and getting job done, not theory that looks only nice on paper, but doesn't match how hardware (and generally the world) operates. Real stuff is mutable. Not being able to mutate stuff in Haskell directly is a productivity killer. Many of the "abstractions" you can build in Haskell exist solely to workaround this limitation.

Exposure has nothing to do with this. Rust is new and Haskell is since forever, yet Rust already far surpassed Haskell in terms of adoption.

Very nice. I played with and demoed something similar yesterday evening using Kotlin, Spring Boot and Expedia's graphql library at a meetup. Relative to things like Appollo, it is more convenient because it generates the schema using reflection, which means that after hooking up the schema generator, you can just write the same kind of code as normal and simply slap the Query or Mutation interface on the things you want exposed to graphql.

Apparently in physics, there is less talk about states than about phases [1]. There are four fundamental states basically all matter can be in: solid, liquid, gas, plasma, but then you can get philosophical about what constitutes a state. Is a superfluid a liquid? I think there is a stronger case for Bose-Einstein condensate to be a separate state but one could argue otherwise. Crystalline vs amorphous solids could easily be argued as being different states etc...

Really, phases are more clearly defined, but more numerous, and change from one material to another.

And then you are left with the task of defining colloids, gels, aerosols...

As a professional mathematician, I see it the same way a musician views musical notation. Sure, writing the name of each note on the stave would be easier to read at first, but the seemingly complex notation then allows for a much quicker understanding (see how talented pianists can sight read very complicated scores; I doubt this could be possible with a more verbose notation). Similarly, I have no trouble parsing (correctly written) LaTeX mentally.

It's probably not something I would use unless I can find a way to make mod-tap more reliable for me (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22112693). But using a tap dance for ESC (or some other key) seems like an idea I could steal to free up a key for other uses.

This also got me to look into quad function tap dance and I realized I could use it to bind altgr to the same key I use for alt and dash with a double tap + hold. This should work since I've never seen any program require a combo that uses alt and altgr at the same time.

>Chronic procrastination is linked with mental and physical health costs, from depression and anxiety ...

I would argue that anxiety can actually be a cause of procrastination. It turns into a nasty feedback loop that can go something like this:

Anxious -> Procrastination -> [Depression] -> More anxious -> Repeat

Depression of course depending on the circumstances, but it stands to reason if you're a chronic procrastinator that frequently doesn't get done what you want to get done, depression will often follow in some cases.

I had the privilege of experiencing this cycle first hand due to pharmacological reasons when I was on a xanthine derivative for nine months. Methylated xanthine is chemically similar to caffeine, so being hopped up on that 24/7 was ultimately quite unpleasant. It was common for others to only tolerate the same medication for weeks due to anxiety issues. Once I went off the stuff, the procrastination ceased within days. It was like a new lease on life.

Which is ironic, because even years before that I'd always considered myself a bad procrastinator. No doubt habits and, to a greater extent emotional well-being (as the article states) are considerable factors.

I would also argue hypomanic features and ADHD can play a large role in procrastination as well. Furthermore, I suspect the two are often confused for one another and share similar pathology.

Lets be honest no one can keep this data without eventually being hacked, so maybe they shouldn't have it after that transaction.
The opposite is true for me - when I have a task I know I'm going to enjoy I put it off for ages because I like the anticipation of doing it.

I also put off tasks I'm not confident about even if I'll like them because I fear the outcome. Failing makes me depressed.

Neither of these are hating the task itself.

Media advertising really started about 1850-1860, when there were mass-market goods produced that required advertising to create a market. Yes, there were earlier ads, largely of the classified variety, selling one-offs (often real estate).

You didn't have advertising without mass production, mass literacy, and mass media.
