"1.33 years of current food usage."

Imagine all the world's agriculturally produced land. Now imagine a third of the food produced in a warehouse. How big is this warehouse?

Another way of looking at it: "How much rice would it take to provide the caloric needs of a family of four for a month, if they only ate rice?"

A lot of rice! We don't realize how much volume and mass goes through our mouths because we buy food very often and never keep much of it at home.
I don't think a literate program is more or less linear than the source code that is extracted/tangled from it. Both artifacts have a sequence: for a C program, the tangled version would put the #includes before declarations before definitions, for example.

In that sense, the LP program is an alternate linearization of the program, in that the authors can choose the order in which to introduce the program. But few LP programs are naively linear -- they typically impose a tree structure on the code, made up of labelled sections and subsections. Readers don't have to start at line 1 of the program/essay, they can navigate from the table of contents to the section of interest.

A compelling argument for LP is that it's an additive technology. If you don't want to read the essay, that's fine -- just tangle the code, and read the source-code artifact instead. With the right tooling (which admittedly may not exist!) an IDE could let you edit the tangled version directly, and put your edits back into the "essay" at the right places, so round-trip editing would be feasible.

It invalidates what you mentioned re. the entertainer avoiding a certain location due to price control. And btw, price control in this case means “no resale above ticket price” or something similar, not the government controlling the pricing itself.

News sites like NYT and WSJ have introduced a featured comments section that is curated by the editorial team. In order to expose reddit users to different biases could the politics sub appoint a moderation team “fairly” and pick a few featured comments to expose reddit users to different leanings?
Maps are often abused or misused, but I'd be curious to know why you believe map viz in general to be the worst. Done responsibly, they can and often are extremely insightful, serving purposes that no other viz can.

The fact that most maps are terrible means we need to encourage better maps, not dismiss them entirely.

This is the Achilles heel of any potential competitor. The lazy integration means there is a big subset of users who simply won't engage with a competitor because it requires more work. Couple that with the social graph Goodreads already has and you're looking at a huge moat.

Perhaps you should consider that it does make sense, and you simply don't want to understand it. I don't think you're intellectually incapable of understanding it.
That's exactly why social engineering works: biases and assumptions. People are absolutely generally more willing to help a woman than a man for a variety of reasons (perception of harmlessness as you point out; people assuming women are incompetent; guys wanting to help to increase sex appeal; etc). Men can exploit different social vectors (eg large, imposing men being demanding or aggressive will get obeyed more than other people because we automatically associate size with authority).

It's not the pentester's job to fix social policy, merely to point out that threats can come from a variety of vectors that people don't expect.
Given what they say has an effect on how others trade, do you think that they may not be completely forthright unless it was in the best interest of their bet?
Software bloat is part of it. The other part is that we just continue to use slow languages. Using python in production for large servers should be illegal due to wasted power.
> Literate programs are essays. They might be easy to read and reason about, but not modify or extend.

What's your rationale behind that last part? Have you ever used any notebook-styled interface like with Mathematica or Jupyter? It's perfectly feasible to tear out a chunk of material and replace it with something else, if you've organized it well. This is no different than the same constraint for conventionally written software. You can't easily refactor shitty code. You can't easily refactor shitty literate code. If you organize your code well and write quality code, whether in the literate or conventional style, you can refactor it with relative ease.

> A computer program is not best understood and managed as a linear artifact. Much of it's power is in graph nature.

And how does that conflict with literate programming? Literate programming permits the reorganization of code into any arbitrary structure. Which means that the graphical nature of the code can be made even more obvious than in most conventional languages. You're no longer bound by single-module files (see Java) or other arbitrary textual constraints. You can place the code in the place that makes the most sense for explication. Or put it adjacent to where it's used, even if it ends up tangled in a different file.
I guess I'm having a hard time thinking of reasons why absolute value is more important than rate, especially in this scenario, when we're measuring the impact of an infectious disease that spreads person-to-person. I suppose in the hypothetical situation, where there are 10,000 cases in Wyoming and 10,000 cases in New Jersey. A choropleth map by rate would shade Wyoming 15-18 times darker than New Jersey. And this would obfuscate the likely reality that 10,000 cases in New Jersey is imminently a far bigger story – because N.J. is not only 15-18 times more populous, but ~25 times more dense. (The fact that Wyoming is ~15x bigger by land mass would make the issue worse, in terms of visual distraction)

But I'm not sure how shading this by absolute totals – in which case, Wyoming and N.J. would be the same shade – would provide significantly more value? Sure, N.J.'s situation wouldn't be effectively invisible in the totals map, compared to the rates map. But now we have to imagine a scenario in which a person-to-person virus managed to sicken so many people (proportionally speaking) in such a large rural state compared to an extremely urban state. It's very hard to imagine a scenario in which we don't want to focus attention on Wyoming. For 10,000 Wyoming people to be infected – and only 10,000 affected in New Jersey – would almost certainly mean that the infection's original epicenter is Wyoming, and that someone from Wyoming had direct contact via travel with a New Jersey resident, (especially if Wyoming and N.J. are outliers in terms of absolute totals by state).
I think Tufte is very overrated. People who are reasonably comfortable with data rather have it in basic format. Tufte-style often takes a lot of effort to produce and the payoff isn’t there. Consultants love it though because they can bill their clients for playing around for hours with charts.

"It is crazy how much well intentioned people do in the interests of sustainability, and how astoundingly futile or even counter productive it is. At the end of the day, people would rather feel nice about themselves than make actual change."

We are currently in the "bargaining stage" of our grief[1] about how we've built our lifestyles on a failure to pay for environmental externalities.

People living modern, first-world lifestyles are (myself included) horrified by the idea that we can probably only afford to live like the global middle class - which is tremendously deficient in services, infrastructure, material possessions and their built environment.

And so, otherwise intelligent people propose very silly things like the idea that if you just sorted your garbage just right your role in this crisis (the crisis of modernity, in my opinion) has been absolved.

For what it's worth, the final stage of grief is paraphrased as:

"It's going to be okay."; "I can't fight it; I may as well prepare for it."

> You don't have to duplicate any work because you don't actually have to write any raw SQL, since it all gets translated by Django. So yes, there's an extra layer of abstraction there, but no duplication on the developer's part.

There is still some duplication of effort, for example when you change the model, yes django will create the migration script for you, but you always have to verify it and often change it especially when you're merging branches. And since the migrator only supports a subset of postgres' DDL abilities, even simple things like renaming objects, or applying advanced indexing techniques you often have to write hand sql migrations anyway, which require you knowing sql, so why not just do all in sql?

> Hasura and related projects are really great, don't get me wrong, but this is outright FUD. There are pros and cons to both approaches, and to claim that one is "utterly obsolete" is nonsense. There are lots of situations in which turning the database into your API just doesn't make sense.

It was a strong statement of an unpopular opinion, but FUD is a fundamentally dishonest statement, and I did clearly prefix my statement with "This is my opinion and I'm sure I'll get downvoted for it". As someone who knows my opinions well you know I honestly believe it. But that's ok I appreciate you keeping me on my toes when the coffee gets me in an agitated state!

That being said, I still do believe it. I do pick on Django pretty hard, but I feel the same way about many of the Python frameworks to a certain degree and the "web application framework" pattern in general. Django is just the one I have seen the most bloviated circumlocution of code to do simple tasks with, and often when I have run into problems with Django, it was usually Django's fault (ahem, autocommit) not the developers. It's a classic foot gun.

A recent example I have had to boggle at, a half dozen AppEngine microservices, cross calling each other with http RPC all autocommiting to 3 different postgres databases with less than 100k rows of data total. The microservices were entirely responsible for maintaining referential integrity entirely defeating the point of using postgres in the first place.

The whole thing could have been a set of simple functions, much of the heavy lifting could have been done with some simple triggers. But instead "microservices". That worked ok when there was only one instance of each service, but then when app engine scaled up it became a knot of race conditions.
"Don't encourage them" is a standard admonishment given to people in a group IRL when one member is acting out. And it's demonstrably impossible for moderators to find and remove 100% of content in violation of policy.

It pushes added responsibility on the upvoters to think before they upvote, but perhaps that is a fair request to make of forum participants.

(And taking off my "community moderator" hat and putting on my "sysadmin" hat---both dusty from lack of use---using sock-puppets or a like-minded collective to brigate-upvote content so that it is visible before it gets banhammered is a known attack vector against the infrastructure itself, and mitigating that attack vector via added penalty for the supporting accounts doesn't seem unreasonable).
It would be, but those numbers are for the absolutely ideal conditions present in the study. It seems unlikely that a photo like this will come up in a real court case:

>The analyst excluded any seams that did not satisfy each of the following properties: 1) the length of the seam was at least 30 cm, 2) the resolution of this 30-cm seam was at least 1,500 pixels, 3) the width of the seam was at least 30 pixels, and 4) the final extracted 1D signal clearly showed a distinct pattern of ridges and valleys.

Even with photos taken specifically to see these patterns, "[e]nforcement of these criteria reduced the original 211 left/right and inner/outer seams to 164 left/inner, 162 right/inner, 81 left/outer, and 90 right/outer seams."

> Maybe you really do want the absolute value.

What for though? What can you tell from that value, other than the value itself?

You cannot tell whether it's common or rare, you cannot tell the risk of anyone in a certain area to be affected, you will have a hard time showing trends because people will react to the phenomena and avoid a certain high-risk area which will then result in fewer cases in that area.

Yet I see people grab their mask and pull it down to let a huge sneeze or cough out into the open, unprotected, all the time. I’ve even had convenience store workers pull down their mask to cough into their hands right before handing me something. Not to mention guys (not sure about women) pretty much never wash their hands with soap and water after using the toilet. Most train station bathrooms, excluding the Shinkansen stations, don’t even have soap—and I’ve been to plenty of doctor’s offices and restaurants that have no soap in or near their bathrooms.

Basic understand of disease spread and hygiene is lacking here. Changing into slippers when entering a building and wearing decorative masks are all about appearances, and that’s what’s most important in Japan.

Give other users a better platform?

Reddit is a public forum, and it wasn't a nice place with T_D on the front page. T_D has mounted a coordinated effort to take over the platform for their needs to the detriment of others.

Reddit admins aren't doing it to stop Trump or his supporters. They are fighting to keep their platform alive for the other 99% who perhaps want to read about knitting and Linux without being called cucks.

I believe this would allow the civilized T_D members to continue having a presence on Reddit. It's for their sake too.
Ah, no. I missed the part about it being a completely new device. This obviously only works for devices that were already authenticated when the message was first sent.
A theoretical example

1. I develop a community dedicated to fascism.
2. I appoint moderators who are themselves avid ideological defenders of fascism.
3. Given the motives for belonging to the subreddit, the users naturally chafe at and violate the sitewide rules for reddit. They have their own interpretations of how to best implement and promote fascism.
4. Because of the moderators' sympathies for the underlying motives and tendencies, abuse and rule-breaking continues.

Is anyone at fault here other than myself, the moderators, and the users?

PS: This article is poorly written and doesn't actually explain any of actual things going on in the_donald, it just insinuates a political agenda to this happening.
The 'frontpage of the internet' is actively taking control of the subreddit of a presidential candidate, in an election year. I know that HN is highly against Trump, and probably cheer for this decision, but how is this not a democratic issue?
I find it kind of funny that people are getting so excited. Reddit has long had a policy of banning users who breach the site rules. /r/The_donald has long had a policy of breaching site rules including brigading, harassment, threats and sharing personal information. The users of that forum have literally been linked to public shootings. Given how often the breaches occur it seems quite reasonable to actually step in.

You'll note that with literally any other sub-reddit, the response to this behaviour would have simply been to shut down the sub-reddit. How many second chances do you need? Personally I would've thought the first person shooting up a restaurant would've been the red line but apparently not.
Exactly.

It's not fair to compare 40(!) years of advances in tooling surrounding the pile-of-files approach to software, to the somewhat withered on the vine approach embodied in literate programming.
