It'll probably be too hard to regulate every unethical dark pattern and shitty default on the site.

What you can do is force Facebook to allow the user to 1 click export their graph and all friend data with it in a standardized format.

Once you force them to give me MY friends email addresses, phone numbers, and birthdays in a list, they're fucked because better products can then emerge.

Similar to the idea of regulating Google by making them open source their search index.
„9) Myth: JWT doesn’t support logout or invalidation. (It can with OpenID Connect)“

This article is conflating the benefits of a particular way of doing implementation, and JWT as an implementation of that approach to authentication. That's dangerous because it n
discourages people from thinking carefully about the semantics involved. Authentication is a topic where the trade-offs should be carefully evaluated for your particular situation.

I do agree that if you need the particular way of doing authentication that JWT is designed for, JWT is indeed a great implementation and can save you a lot of time.

The problem is stackoverflow seems designed to avoid "better answers".

Questions are often long abandoned, and the original questioner won't come back and choose a new correct answer. On a rarely looked at question, it would take years for a correct answer to raise up the ranks.

I've seen various answers which used cryptography dangerously, and asked if there was any way they could be fixed, and I just got the answer you gave. That shouldn't be acceptable when dangerously bad code is being showed to people.

Hence the flood of ML grads which will only get bigger and bigger as time goes on.

As a general observation of business, returns per unit of labor can range from completely linear (factories, hospitals) to more nonlinear in things like software or art. ML researcher is on the far end of this. Yes, Bengio and Goodfellow get paid 7 figures, but that's because even if you pay 100 amateurs 1/100th of that, they will still produce worse work.

If you want to be a good ML researcher, the time to get in was 10 years ago.

Its easy (solved) to map Unicode to control characters such as quotes (and when you think about it, quotes are often there to deal with ambiguities stemming from the limited number of allowed characters in ASCII). So to could have a terminal accepting such input, and a few helper function that normalize it into ASCII and so on.

After all, users of non-ascii languages (which is nearly everyone) already know how to deal with it without ambiguity. Its only ambiguous if you don't use encodings, and that should never happen anyway.

Back in the 90s, it was common to see t-shirts and other apparel festooned with nonsensical strings of English letters in China, an attempt to be “cool” by appropriating the design of lettered Western clothing without any of the content.

Humorously enough, this has now come full circle, with Americans donning items carrying nonsensical brand names and made in China.

It was interesting to me that these brands are actually registered trademarks; I always assumed they were just invented by Amazon sellers on the fly.
it's pretty sad to see otherwise extremely bright people who are able to spot censorship in China, Russia etc, and who normally would stand up for human rights, to applaud or defend this Twitter shut down of Wikileaks. It is exactly the goal of propaganda to give people the ability to spot its effects when it comes from the enemy and make it invisible when done by their own state.

My greatest takeaway from fiddling around with machine learning for a past few years is this:

Most of the business use cases are deterministic in nature. It is really hard to shoe in a probabilistic response in such use cases, as illustrated in this article. It's even harder to convert this probabilistic response to a deterministic response (humans in the loop), at a cost comparable to just maintaining the deterministic system.

There are a few business cases that naturally are probabilistic - ad bidding, stock price prediction, recommendations. The giants have taken over this already.

I am still scratching my head to find a use case for a startup to jump in, use machine learning and solve a growing business use case. Probably there are some healthcare related use cases but I have no idea about that domain.

As a 10x programmer myself (NOT TO BRAG) I will tell you we definitely exist. My greatest annoyance is watching the rest of you peons crawl along at a snails pace while I am inventing the next groundbreaking technology that will completely flip your existence upside down. Perhaps the only person who could even understand my level of motivation is Elon Musk, but I'm not even sure if I would have the patience to explain it to him.

It is a daily occurrence that while you are trying to find a missing semicolon that I'm already cleverly arranging your old commits using git rebase to turn your finger-painting into a Van Gogh. My only advice is just to get used to it, because we aren't going away. The best thing you can do is hope to get a management role so that you can be freed from the burden of competing with us. Let's be frank: most of us 10x programmers are on the deep end of the spectrum and therefore won't want or perform well in a management role, but for those of us that can, managing normal programmers would be excruciating.

Imagine QA of manufacturing production items. You can place cameras next to produced items and observe if they satisfy some quality requirements or sort them into buckets of certain quality levels.

Tesla is valued according to fundamentals. Look at their growth trajectory and do the math.

> If they do, then your mutex is not unique to your program.

Unfortunately, if they don't, you only know that there exists one program which does collide with your app's mutex. Nothing more, nothing less.

> But you want to be sure that mutex is unique to your program

This one's actually impossible to test. Or to be pedantic, we know it can't be done - another app can be using your app's guid for its mutex, but in realistic cases, it's just really hard to test for. There could be even a real use case for collision - independent agents walking the process tree and relying on locks based on guids to not step on each other.
Digital logic is built from amplifiers with the gain set right up, so that any voltage above the threshold goes to max and any voltage below goes to zero. Very little tuning is needed to get a working circuit, compared to multi-level or analog circuitry. In CMOS, current basically only flows when the circuit is switching between two states, whereas in an analogue circuit it flows all the time, so digital logic can be more efficient. In digital signal transmission, “eye diagrams” are used to visualise the quality of the signal: the eye is the gap between low and high and it needs to be clearly open for receivers to be able to detect the signal with decent integrity. https://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/AND9075-D.PDF
Great article. I think many people in the design community measure their success by how many eyeballs they can catch. Ultimately it was the city commission that led to the poor management.

It is possible to allow websites to implement custom logic within them without letting them mess with copy & paste going out of these sites.
PowerShell acknowledged smart quotes and dashes in its language design and allows proper quotes interchangeably with ASCII straight quotes. I always found that an interesting design choice, although I'm not sure how useful it actually is to allow people to copy/paste code from dubious web pages. On the other hand, they'll do that anyway, so why bother making it harder?
Name "JSON" would be weird, because it wouldn't be JavaScript-compatible syntax anymore. I know, that few people would agree with me, but I would propose `new Date(2020, 2, 17, 17, 22, 45)` syntax, even if nobody uses `eval` to parse JSON, keeping historical heritage is important. And if you need timezone, something like `Date.parse("2011-10-10T14:48:00.000+09:00")` could be used. Now it's not a real constructor or function calls, it's just a syntax, but it's still compatible with JavaScript.

For those interested in FEM, I found out about Fenics a few years back [1], here's an extract from their homepage:

"FEniCS is a popular open-source (LGPLv3) computing platform for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). FEniCS enables users to quickly translate scientific models into efficient finite element code. With the high-level Python and C++ interfaces to FEniCS, it is easy to get started, but FEniCS offers also powerful capabilities for more experienced programmers. FEniCS runs on a multitude of platforms ranging from laptops to high-performance clusters."

I never got to use it because I've moved out of mechanical simulations a few years ago, but it definitely looks pretty sweet ;)
