Of course, an actual working compression algorithm is quite likely. I recall that recently someone was upscaling and colorizing ancient movie reels to modern standards, and there is plenty of low-hanging fruit in fine-tuning parameters to suit specific images, so I actually look forward to this.

Tinder is a dating app, like other dating apps, can be possibly be used for hookups etc. but it's not directly advertised as such.

A better counter example would be 'Grindr' which is really de-facto focused on hookups, but they do a lot to avoid that in their presentation.

But the point stands: if you advertise a hookup app, you will not be approved by any of those orgs.

Apple just dropped one of those 'Sugar Daddy' style apps, i.e. focused on connecting younger women and older men on the basis of their 'wealthy appeal' though it's not a direct hookup / money for sex app either.
If you think that's new, you're obviously not aware of the history. How would you compare and contrast the corruption and lack of consequences of say, the Iran Contra conspiracy, to Trumps scandals?

Just to throw you a bone, you'll notice that AG Barr was involved in the pardons resulting from the Iran Contra affair as well.
The oft-linked Eran Hammer blog post isn't too relevant here, even if its critiques of OAuth2 are valid from the perspective of OAuth1. Really, they're fundamentally different protocols with different goals, and after all that drift in the working group, not changing the name and pretending it's an increment of version was bad form.

Nonetheless, OAuth2 just defines the roles of the players in a situation where an application wants to act on behalf of the user, and defines a few useful interactions between them.

OIDC then layers on top of OAuth2, by defining custom payloads that communicate authentication requests and responses. It does so by relying heavily on the JOSE specs. The end result of all this layering is a protocol that's conceptually similar to SAML, despite looking and feeling rather different. Meanwhile, all the truly hard stuff, like Discovery and Federation, are additional specs alongside. They see much less use.

There's sometimes bad implementations, and there's sometimes authorization flows that aren't actually OAuth2 but merely "OAuth2-inspired". In these, and in transmitted payloads, gratuitous differences from vendor to vendor are irksome.

The same stuff happens in SAML-land too. There are products big and small, IdPs and SPs, that don't actually comply with the protocol. Sometimes the product is fine in theory, but it's misused or misconfigured. Sometimes the IdP product is big enough that they have little incentive to improve, and sometimes the SP is desirable enough that you're being pressured by your employer to integrate with them regardless of any protocol shenanigans.

Heh, I work in embedded and, IMO, they were one of the most fun issues to debug in the begging of my career. Mostly, if I had such an issue, I enabled the ISR triggering and just before the context got trashed, I looked where the program was. Things got pretty obvious then.

Once you get the hang of it, it becomes pretty straightforward. And it's great training on how the HW looks like and functions!

Granted, on more lower powered systems, with fewer, more primitive debugging options (looking at you, PIC) things miiight look a bit more painful. Thankfully, such systems are (much) smaller.

IMO, the _most_ painful issues to debug are memory corruption issues happening on large systems without MPU enabled.

In North America, cattle are grazed on grasslands which have a long-term symbiotic relationship with grazing ungulates (the buffalo, now mostly gone, an immense tragedy). Cattle are only grain-fed for the last few weeks of their lives. There's this standing myth that cattle spend their lives in feedlots and that's simply false, as a visit to any ranch will tell you. And even that feed is largely inedible by humans[0].

The analogy between modern cattle and the wild grazing of buffalo isn't perfect. There are problems with modern grazing that need to be addressed. The North American grasslands are prone to desertification if over- or under-grazed. The work of the Savory Institute is largely about promoting "regenerative grazing", not just in North America but also eg Africa[1].

Anyway, if you live in North America and eat/utilise relatively local beef, then you aren't a participant in some kind of misuse of "prime crop land".

From your link you are presumably comparing $1,190.7M to $646.8M correct? Those values don't reflect the 66M of Trumps own money, don't reflect Russian interference (which has been going on since approximately the Magnitksy act), and don't reflect the in-kind gifts Trump gave by using his own private jet and numerous Trump properties for rallies. Maybe (and I truly mean maybe), the 100:1 remark was hyperbole on my part, but I personally don't doubt that the GRU spent billions.
Headlines like that really should be divulged to the subject before their death. It's shame they miss out on the chuckle.
Yes, PPPoA was also a thing I dealt with, and another source of irritating MTU issues.
It’s interesting how learning to code is so challenging. Especially because it’s something humans make. Over the past few years, coders have been abstracting the complexity away, but man there’s a lot of it.

On a more meta level, it feels like we’ve barely touched the margins of how humans learn best. That’s always struck me as odd.

Like nobody has quite cracked the nut for how to do it. Not with programming, not with language, not with cooking. It’s always so much effort. As if the lessons people have learned are forgotten as soon as a few years pass.

We know a little bit. Spaced repetition helps. Not doing anything after studying intensely helps (as in literally just doing nothing after studying improves retention).

Going for long walks helps. So does transforming concepts into something you can see (I suspect because we have a lot of “machinery” for visual computations).

Engaging more of your muscles during an activity (writing as opposed to typing) helps too.

Engaging extra senses (like smell) seems to help.

But that’s about it. There’s no common modality, no library of how humans learn, retain, and transfer knowledge.

It’s been like what? 200,000 years since we’ve been on this planet.

We’ve barely touched the surface of what we’re capable of doing because we keep forgetting.
Why is it absurd?

I'm assuming your total compensation is the same either way. So it's not that you're not being compensated for staring at computer screens all days, it's just a question of whether your being compensated by being given dollars or being compensated by your eye doctor and glasses manufacturer being given dollars.
My point is rebutting the point made by the poster before me, who said there was a real story here.

I disagree. This is somewhat par for the course. For many people, this could be the first time they experience the disappointment of how corrupt folks like Bloomberg operate within the political sphere. However, these people would be incorrect to chalk this up as historically or even politically noteworthy, for many of us this is rather unsurprising and the story has already been told many times. Why rehash these tired tropes when Bloomberg presents so many new, unique, and significant issues that we now must address?

There are many types -- it is phrased generally and may lead readers to believe that there is some issue with polymorphism.

I still object on the subtype grounds though -- because the issue is not the polymorphism (that is useful and usually a good idea). It's the inheritance relation, which is not the subtype relation -- eg., you can do subtype polymorphism with just implementing interfaces and there shouldn't be any problems.

This comment is actually expressing issues which have arisen because of inheritance and confusing it with polymorphism.

To be fair, Trump has a history of saying things that don't line up with reality (this is objective, apolitical fact), so it's not a stretch to think he might not have been aware of this. Or he might have wanted a repeat of the same statement in a different forum.

Or it might be total bullshit. But given the events of recent days, it's hard to argue that it's not at least consistent.
Mercurial branches are different from git branches; they're topological structures that emerge when a revision gets an alternate child. They're like growing and stopping lines of development. They exist on their own, Mercurial simply allows to give them names. What git calls branches in Mercurial is called bookmarks.
One thing that's important, I think, is to recognize in the moment that you're getting upset, that in that moment right there, it's not the design itself that's causing you pain, but your reaction to it. It's not gonna be like a "AHA! Cured." sort of revelation, but practiced repeatedly you'll start asking yourself whether that's the ONLY option available to you, or maybe there is something you yourself can do so as to not to suffer.

The second thing, and this I learned from Yoga, is to actively look for what's okay. When it gets pretty uncomfortable, I try to do what my teacher once said, which was to focus on the bits that feel well. In your case, the door might be shitty, but the roof ain't leaking; the new maps may be crap, but the electricity is on; Google maps is rubbish, but the phone's screen is working alright. It's not that one good design compensates for bad design, it's that the poor design is enmeshed in a far bigger picture, in which there are good things, and it's your freedom, perhaps the greatest freedom, to choose where to direct the attention to.

Third, I've rarely seen a brilliant first iteration of anything. Every so often it happens, but more likely is to start with something and get better. So the map replacement is one: the vision for these screens may be 1. As a revenue stream, 2. Help the visually impaired, 3. allow more functionality - like calling a staff member quickly (whatever, I don't live and NY, this is just examples).
The implementation is rubbish, but if it's the first iteration, that was always ever going to be the case.

Finally, here's a bit of mirroring, do what you like with it: Clever people take great pride in their cleverness. They like that they're smart, and they like the sharpness in their brain. And so, this often creates a blind spot to how miserable that smart brain of theirs can make them. Like in your case, where you said: "oh, I don't think treatment can help, but if you could list some ways in which it might" etc - that's your proud clever brain speaking, entrenching you in a position where you're just angry all the time. But the rest of you recognizes this is a shitty way to be living, hence you posting to begin with.

So maybe there are some time when it's quite okay to tell yourself your clever brain is actually getting in the way, and use things that are not reason-based, like trust, and emotional monitoring, and get help from someone who worked their whole career at helping people deal with anxiety and anger.

I appreciate the clarification, thanks.

It’s interesting that you feel email has a lot of traction and is broken, but you see that as an argument for moving away from it. I would think it’s an opportunity to fix that system, since users are unlikely to switch. I’ve thought quite a bit about what making email like Signal would look like, but I’m curious what’s your take on the overall problem.

> Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with billionaires

Debatable. Find me a billionaire who didn't get where they are through exploitive labour practices, monopolistic consolidation, political manipulation, massive environmental damage, or inheriting wealth earned in one or more of those ways. A world where billionaires can exists seems like a perversion of the ideals of "healthy" capitalism to me.

That seems to be the issue. People have largely forgotten how terrible we have been toward one another. Every generation needs the education or they will repeat the past.
It is interesting how that has changed over time. In the 1830's, the most valuable part of the beef animal was the hide, followed by the tallow. The meat was the cheap byproduct.

Same for pork. In the 1940's, lard was highly valuable, and pigs were bred to maximize lard production.

We did both of those. We took screen caps of our managers -- the issue with that was that there was a noticeable pause when you were snapping and we were afraid of getting caught.

In terms of audio there was a desk analyst on the MBS trading desk who wrote a script that would play a clip of someone in a thick accent screaming 'You are a stupid man!' on the targeted machine. The traders and analysts did it to each other for a while. When that got boring and they modified the script to play it on all the machines on the MBS trdaing desk, repeatedly. When the head of mortgage research would stop by to speak to one of the traders, someone would quite subtly run the script and every ones machine would start barking 'You are a stupid man!'

Weirdly it never occurred to us to use the microphone.

Probably because those extended TLDs are shunned by many users. I know that I tend to avoid sites that use them, because such sites tend to be ones that I prefer to avoid.

There are a few such sites that I'm comfortable with, of course, but those TLDs are a bit of a red flag and sight unseen, I assume they're not for me.

The reason that I hate the guided tour is that it's restrictive. It's not at my pace and it gives me the feeling of being obstructed in my goal of learning the software; which is actually my secondary goal. My first goal is using the software. Learn by using. In the beginning just using is good enough; learning should follow naturally through use.

I'd prefer to use my time clicking around the site than clicking to close tooltips and modals.

I think introductory tutorials are better served by:

1. Scrollable documentation w/ images and an easily navigable sidebar that allows you to jump to specific topics that draw your attention.

2. In the case of something truly complex I like to watch videos for a more holistic perspective. Note that this is the slow and "relaxing" way of getting information. I do this primarily at night and never if I plan on using a product that same day.

I'd probably recommend a video for conveying a workflow (is the fact that queries are made up of steps best categorized as a workflow?), but make it short and focused; and support it with text so that I can quickly decide whether that video is worth clicking or not. Most of what's in the video should be readable in text on the same page as the video.

But they do. Javascript itself has evolved significantly over the past decade obsoleting many features that used to solely be provided by add-on frameworks.

HTML5 as a living standard brings the majority of the needs that used to be served by plugins – interactivity, dynamic pages, two-way communications, multimedia.

WebSockets provide for realtime communications with the browser, something again not possible without 3rd-party plugins.

So, what you are saying is in fact happening. But that doesn't mean it's not an issue with sliding goalposts. It's just that it doesn't happen as quickly as we all may like it, but that's because "basic functionality" is a constantly moving target with different definitions depending on who asks.

Oh my, yes. I've had very similar privileges, and it's almost universally a complete shitshow. It doesn't really ever matter what the age, size, skillsets, etc, of the company are, either. It's just.... all bad.

Example: one of the first questions I try to ask when starting a new job is, "Can I have an accurate list of the physical hosts and the IP of the management NIC?", and the answer is usually some form of, "We don't maintain a list like that, you'll have to grab everything from [pick two]: (DNS|Spreadsheets|Monitoring System|Configuration Management|nmap|ARP tables).". Then, because of course, lists don't match with each other, so literally no source of truth for what hosts exist in a network exists. Even for production! It's truly maddening.
I currently work on it as well, so happy to pitch in.
I definitely see things going in this direction eventually however. They've been trying to push it with cars for a while now, doing it with aircraft is trivial by comparison

FP didn't invent immutable data, or mathematical functions. It just makes it easier to use them for some domains, while complicating others.

Imperative programs can have isolated, pure subsections of functionality which are based on composition and immutability, without having to deal with the "ideological" strictness of FP.

You're considering only a minute aspect of large systems. Any real banking system has much more than a ledger to deal with. And most of it involves huge amounts of state, which you can't just pile on top of RAM, or waste CPU on. Anything that doesn't serve a real business/user purpose is just waste.

And text editors don't need FP to support undo either. I'm not sure what point are you trying to make.

The most successful editors in the market, supporting all the features you mentioned, do quite fine with imperative, and in fact, I'm not aware of any meaningful editor written in a FL.

> Memory is cheap now

Not really. This comment strikes me as if it comes from someone who never dealt with significant amount of data.

FP can be extremely wasteful; take head-tail lists for example, which are the default container in many FPs. They waste object-container data, pointer data, and scatter the list items, causing cpu cache misses.

Claiming that imperative is only better for low-level is extremely disconnected from reality. Try writing a game with FP, and I assure you no one will care for code "beauty" when FPS sucks.

Sometimes, arguing with FP purists feels like debating socialists.

Also: go ahead and downvote me, as apparently FP zealots can't tolerate questioning their religion.
