I think that's part of the theory behind q, which trades the monadic (unary) definition of operators for names, so: +: becomes flip, =: becomes group; ?: becomes distinct, and so on. I'm not convinced though, because Python+numpy has most of these operations (and those it doesn't aren't particularly difficult to implement), so it seems reasonable you could implement an environment almost as good as q[1].

But whilst the k/q operators are certainly useful, the Key thing is the notation. The notation is really valuable, and it seems hard to get it until you understand the notation well enough that it starts changing how you think about programming: numpy.matmul(x,y) might do the same thing that x+.y does, but the latter suggests more. I recommend reading Iverson's paper[2] on the subject, although you might find reading §5.2 before the beginning to be helpful in putting into context what exactly is meant by notation here.

Exactly. Very few people get this. Fahrenheit is better for communicating temperatures in daily life.

Plus we can be more precise in our language due to the expanded scale. e.g. We can say 62 degrees F, rather than 16.6667 degrees C.

regex is _extremely_ resource inefficient and should not be used with large sets of rules. Dnsmasqs domain redirecting feature (address=/adhost.com/#) is not supported by pihole.

Is there any other way to wildcard block full domains in Pi-Hole?

Look for example in your list: d41.co, admaster.com.cn, mixmarket.biz chances are extremely slim that all (current) hostnames of those type of domains are currently being blocked.

You can set up containers for every domain you like. Facebook just comes as a predefined option because 90% of users are going to choose that domain anyway.

Sure. But the concern isn't about whether or not a nuclear-powered vessel can be identified as such; that information isn't really concealed, you'll have it as part of the same documentation that lets you ID a ship or submarine by class. The concern is about what happens when somebody drops a couple of mortar bombs on your land-based microreactor, or sets off a buried IED under it, or drives a VBIED into it.

I'll chuck another vote in for Okta. It even has admin or user managed password settings if you want it to behave like a password manager for sites that have shared accounts or don't support SSO. It's not a core feature so it's not as good as a password manager for managing ad-hoc secrets, but it's good enough for most web apps.
Looks good. Added to the list. :D
I was recently reading through the input handling code for firefox on windows. Turns out that some input method editors insert a special character that facebook then deletes, breaking input handling. So they have a special case fix for facebook where they turn that character into a different one.

Wow, what a bad idea.
Do Haskell and PHP get used for the same sort of projects? Or Erlang and Ruby? No, they get used for very different sorts of projects. You would need to only compare similar kinds of projects (e.g. web frameworks, or statistical analysis, or device drivers) to get anything useful out of this data source. But, that's probably not possible, because in most cases there aren't enough projects in very many languages.
This also assumes that bugs are all equally likely to get FOUND in all languages. What if bugs are easier to find in language X than in language Y? Then you will get MORE, not fewer, commits that mention fixing them in language X, which is the opposite of what you would want the signal to indicate.
I could go on, but there's no need, as even these points are enough to totally invalidate the premise of this research. Getting into the weeds of the analysis of the original study or the rebuttal, is not going to give you anything useful, if the original premise that you are measuring how language compares to bugs is wrong, and it almost certainly is.

It is resource inefficient, which is why PiHole supports it, but does not allow you to subscribe to list containing regex, as that would quickly make it unusable. I'm not sure how Dnsmasqs would be accomplishing this feature without some sort of pattern matching logic - which would have the same inefficiencies. Basically O(N) where N is the number of domains/patterns that should be blocked. There could certainly be a cache to keep track of matched/unmatched queries, but I would imagine with the modern web the average case would still be very close to O(N). Just speculation.

If the contract is legal it should be - if your unsure if it's legal talk to a lawyer. Without contracts being actually enforceable if one party believes it's immoral then everything goes to shit.
You're measuring the wrong thing. Quarantine isn't an attempt to "eradicate" this disease. Like you say, it's likely to become a pandemic and infect hundreds of millions or more.

You quarantine to halt the rate of infection and give your health care facilities time to care for the seriously infected. And that saves lives. A lot. It can save a lot of lives.
Low N is still interesting. If anything, it can help justify larger studies along the same lines, since there are costs for a study and researchers have to make their case to get the funding.

I feel like that's probably by design. If you were in a session and clicking links, the assumption is if you're in the container already, you'd want to remain in the container.

Working with an analytics team, a sentiment I get is:

"We have a contract with [analytics company]. They are not allowed to look at the data."

When you suggest that a contract might not be as good as physical limitations hosting it yourself give you, they follow up with something like:

"Well, then AWS/Azure/etc. could look at it!"

What I found drives the increase of tracking on the web in big corporations, is simply the number of teams, who want data. Data is used to play internal politics. And it is easier to get a new vendor in, than to get data from a hostile team.

How do we know the premise is flawed?

> The first step should be to show that the github dataset can be used to say anything about quality and productivity of things like language choice.

How do you concretely do that? The initial paper, even if flawed, did a lot of work to try to control for confounding factors. To do what you said, you would have to put as much effort, if not more, to convince people that the results can be falsified to claim anything, with the same level of control in place.

It's not even clear that counting commits is entirely meaningless. Getting some signal out of it does seem tremendously difficult, but not impossible. So questioning the methodology is really the only way to rebut the experiment.

> The story suggests that, all other things being equal, consumers might gravitate towards companies with a reputation for treating their employees well.

I got that feeling as well, but I think it's not really well-supported in the real world. Some consumers gravitate towards companies with a good reputation / ethical platform / health focus / whatever. But the vast majority of consumers choose on price or value separate from these things. For example, in the US how many people shop at Whole Foods vs. normal supermarkets? I'd be surprised if it's more than 1 in 10.
This is crazy... but if you'll entertain the idea for a moment: not everyone who operates a business or sells product/services do it out of profit driven motives.

Sometimes, people enjoy the lifestyle of their work and provide a product/service that people want/need/will love pay for. Their business may not be unique, they may not offer optimal prices. Sure, these folks can very likely be undercut because it's unlikely that by these goals alone they're running an optimal process to reduce costs or have the capital to scale things up to points they can attain cost saving advantages. This means their value proposition would be fairly weak.

That's fine. People still want honey and maybe they like Mark or Barry or whomever and would rather pay a little bit extra to make sure their local bee keeper is able eat and continue to contribute to their community.

One unique value proposition does come to mind however for many of these local artisan style businesses: these people are less likely to abandon small communities. Pure businesses focused on profit motives alone will leave when the situation become unprofitable. People like Mike and Barry are more likely to stay as long as their lifestyle can be maintained. They may even have children who want to continue the family business as is (or not).

There are plenty of examples where Walmart, for example, saw opportunities in small rural communities, swept in, undercut the competition and then for one reason or another found it would be best to close the store leaving a vacuum of needs to be met:
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/when-wal-mart-leaves-small...

Sometimes the local businesses can rebound but often those local vendors aren't interested in being burned twice.

Life is not always about offering the best value proposition. Constantly worrying about optimization in every aspect of life will make you pretty miserable (at least from my experience). At some point you have to choose happy over optimal and understand that's a respectable goal.
