That sounds like a tricky problem indeed. It reminds of work I've done in the past for a site that had mostly novice users as an audience, but still had a healthy contingent of advanced and knowledgeable users. It was in the automotive space, and catering to both was a constant challenge. The advanced users wanted straight access to raw facts and details, while the novice users needed to feel comfortable and that this was something that was not above their head.

Designing navigation, in particular, was more difficult. Novices didn't yet have the domain-specific mental models yet the experts were skimming for jargon and keywords.

Those advanced users were also the most allergic to any kind of empathy-based support.

The real world example would only be creepy if the cashier was keeping detailed notes of what you bought, and suggesting related products the next time you visited the store. It's not creepy because the vast majority of cashiers don't do that. The online example is creepy because almost all vendors are doing this, and even worse, they're sharing the data with each other to build detailed customer profiles so they can sell you more products.

Promising Antiviral Is Being Tested for the Coronavirus but Results Not yet Out
I think it's important to understand that while it's definitely not good that asymptomatic spread is a thing, it's worth considering what the real alternatives where.

For example in the USA, by only testing the highest risk categories, the positive rate is still only ~3%. Increases in the population screened will eventually lead to decreasing the positive rate. In that sense, broadening the criteria by which we do testing will lead to dilution of utility of resources. That's not to say that the choices we made were optimal, but rather to say that scaling our testing to the point where we are catching a significant portion of asymptomatic carriers may not have been the best choice.

Remember that both test consumables and testing capability are not unlimited.

You can model this out at home with different asymptomatic carrier rates and different transmission rates and find the optimal resource allocation for each case.
Home quarantine is one of the best things right now, so you don’t infect others. Right now a lot of countries ask you to call your doctor, he will come do a swab.

Another one is risk factor, like any ties with people who are infected or people who came from high risk areas.

> That this is important is made clear with gcc+glibc's _FORTIFY_SOURCE macro, which (e.g.) forces you to check the return value of sprintf() among others.

It's worth noting that "printf" specifically does not appear to be affected by _FORTIFY_SOURCE if the documentation I'm reading is to be believed.

> But it's a bad question, since fork() and printf() failures have different consequences.

Pointing out there are differences - via visceral example that likely hits close to home in your own practice as a programmer - is the entire point of the question, so I'll call it a good one ;)

The implicit point I'm making is that it's more complicated than "all syscalls must have error handling!" - which raises the question of, well, what does drive the choice anyways?. Ideally, perhaps a carefully reasoned consideration of the differing consequences you've pointed out. Or perhaps more likely, an adherence to examples and inertia. Or perhaps even more likely, a gut call based on things like "can I even think of when this might fail?", which one might answer "no" to - for having not yet developed a sufficiently mischevious imagination.

Regardless - having established the possible existence of nuance - this then lets us properly examine if our documentation does indeed properly prepare us to make these decisions, and how useful posts like the article might be for filling in where our documentation may have failed us.

> Also, boilerplate code for printf() never shows using the return value, whereas boilerplate for fork() always shows that.

Boilerplate for fork() does not always show that. As a concrete counterexample, the first google hit for "fork example" lacks error handling in any of their examples, although they at least mention the possibility of negative return values. I'll avoid linking it in an attempt to avoid improving it's undeservedly high search ranking, but if you're performing the search yourself, it's on the "geeks for geeks" website.

Maybe most sources of proper official documentation get it right these days, but I'm hesitant to assume even that.

> Your malloc() example is much better.

malloc vs fork failures also have different consequences. malloc failing is pretty unlikely to result in killing other processes (like your watchdog process!) for example. So perhaps it's just as bad of an example ;)
All true points, but I'd rather risk being tracked by a company that would be completely cratered even more than they've already been by being bought by Privacy One than just go straight to the devil himself, so I use the !s and just mentally treat it as if its a slightly better form of !g rather than before where startpage was all the benefits of Google search without most of the drawbacks.
The good outcome would be that after analog hole is plugged on the web, we can start plugging it IRL (if AR gear and/or spray paint drones mature by the time). Imagine physical space with no ads!

So, bring it on?
I find about that percentage of my interactions with anyone involved in business, generally insincere and gross. Work and providing value to people can feel great but business is disgusting.
Oh BS! You can go vote without an ID; it's called a provisional ballot. If race comes close enough, your ballot would be scrutinized and counted. Democrats just hate voter ID as it screens out illegal aliens, the deceased, and multiple-location voters.
The most niche things I search for are typically career-related, so software questions. I'd guess more than 9 out of 10 queries, the result that I am looking for (i.e. the result that helps me) is on stackoverflow, github, or some apache mailing list.

A search engine just for software, that crawls a whitelisted set of platforms and provides more relevant results (github's search is very poor, for example) would be perfect. Google seems to be the "best" at this right now, so while I use DDG to search most of the time, when I'm working I end up routing most of my queries to Google.

Somewhat tangential, but the word "niche" made me think about this.
I'd prefer wheel and third button.

I don't understand why mouse buttons need to be so large. Indeed, keys are much smaller, and the thumb buttons in mice are still much smaller. That's not a problem. Every mouse I've had has a comfortable spot between the two main buttons and the wheel where you could fit the third button..
The problem is that there was a narrative for years that Apple was intentionally slowing down older phones with software updates, but there wasn't any proof. The fact that they were caught doing it in this case was considered validation of the broader theory, which is why it's been blown out of proportion.
Yet it's entirely consistent with their "we know best" attitude.
The problem of consciousness is about understanding systems which feed back into themselves, build a model of themselves, and reason about themselves. The structure underneath is well known, if not perfectly understood.

The problem of physics is that it’s not clear what the structure of reality is. It is not known in the slightest but it seems unlikely it has a connection to metacognition.

Article connects these with a lame “software running on unknown hardware” analogy and works to suggest the universe could run on consciousness, or something incoherent like that.

tldr article looks like it’s pretty much trash popsci; why is it even here? Kill it with fire ;)
I am using Firefox as my main browser for almost 7 years now (exclusive for ~3 years). As I see it Firefox is the only reasonable choice if you are looking for a browser respecting its users privacy.

Personally I never had problems with Firefox breaking pages or having noticeable performance issues. Quite the opposite seems to be the case, since it feels faster and better with every update they released. I really can’t understand all the people constantly complaining about Firefox being slow and buggy. 90% of the time I had issues, it was because of poorly written browser extensions or ad-blockers breaking stuff.
It feels like most of the people complaining about Firefox are just looking for excuses to justify why they are too lazy to migrate.

The dangerous thing is when another new Chromium based browser, such as Brave or Edge, appears, which often makes it even worse for the user, since they just share your data with another company.

> Due to the difficulties in achieving Nash equilibria, none of the current GAN-based architectures are optimized to convergence, i.e. the generator never wins against the discriminator.

If I understand the terms used, it sounds like you're suggesting adding this classifier to the discriminator, to avoid detection. Since they are already failing to pass their existing discriminators, it seems like they could try to not be detected, but they wouldn't actually succeed.

They didn’t tell retail. They also didn’t tell customers why their phones were slow. Customers called/came in complaining of slow phones, and often times assumed it was because their phone was “old.” Many new iPhones were likely sold as the result, as retail/customer service couldn’t give an explanation for slowness.

Malicious or not, they profited, likely heavily, from the lack of communication/transparency.

I pretty much hate these.

I do find some need the handling described here. And they get it. No worries. Most do not. They want help first and foremost. I make sure they get it asap.

But this stuff as a first response?

No way. I much prefer to respond in a way that shows I understand what they are telling me, and either give them options to resolve, or start asking questions so that I can do that.

And when I do not know, I say that, asking for their help getting after fixing whatever has happened to them.
I really dug Paperspace + Parsec when I was using it. Their support is also top-tier; very impressive.
