Tell me if I'm wrong, but skimming the docs I understand that the table's filter state is in the local state of the table (state defined in the hook).

If it's the case, it does mean that the table component isn't controlled (as in "controlled input component"). What you describe (if I understand correctly) is _synchronising_ the local state of the table with my own global state, instead of controlling the table (giving my global state as param of the hook). This is breaking the one-way data flow that makes React so good.

The API I would expect would look more like:

useTable(
useFilter({value: myValue, onChange: myHandler})
)

But I might be misunderstanding something, in which case please correct me! I am very interested in your library, the pattern has been around for a while but tables in React are always a PITA as they combine the problems of forms + lists + crazy interactivity

While I think of article as basic common sense I can see how people generally fail at this. I used to be the A/B test engineer for Travelocity. Here are some of the motivations I have observed that introduce bias generally (not just in science):

Passive

* communication style

* a lack of self-reflection

* inadequate tests

* dishonesty (cognitive complexity)

Active

* prejudice

* dominance

* dishonesty (lying)

I often found that people are rarely introducing bias intentionally, though that does happen. The reasons people attempted to intentionally introduce bias was generally a way to improperly persuade people for a variety of unrelated motivations.

Bias can be as simple as confusion as to a goal, such as when a person states one thing but is actually hoping for something different. This is a disconnection between a person's goal and the terms with which they are willing or capable to express that goal. Reasons for that disconnect could be offense or cultural conventions. This is more easily observable in children who haven't yet mastered the communication skills to mask this confusion.

Sometimes bias creeps in because a person has a strong opinion of a subject and instead of attempting a proof to qualify or disqualify their position on the subject they will shift the evidence as necessary to manipulate an audience. This is common in politics, particularly when the audience themselves are preferentially biased to the emotionally loaded language they are hearing over any complete or partial evidence supporting that language. To some degree this sort of political manipulation is also most commonly unintentional, though it appears exceedingly intention coming from many career politicians.

Most frequently people introduce bias casually to achieve a form of social agreement, because facts and evidence are less important, to many people, than kindness and conformance. There is a sort security provided from achieving stronger social bonds even if that means shifting ground to conform to a different set of norms and values preferred by a group.

You wouldn't think any of this line of thinking would enter science or experimentation, especially when those conducting the experiments are experienced professionals, but it does. I have learned through other professional experiences that objectivity is a personality trait that can be tested for and measured. Objective personality types are rare. Everybody else needs defined boundaries and everybody needs some manner of peer review.
I don't watch mozilla closely other than I run firefox in a couple of places [including typing this message], and it does seem to me that they often promo existing features as "new" assuming that people are unfamiliar with them, which in fairness, a lot of people are probably unfamiliar..

For example when they recently updated their android app, it was phrased as "our new android app" with the possible implication that it was written from scratch more recently [I was already using it]. And probably to a lot of potential users, it might as well be new, because most people are not on it.

Seems a tad slimy/deceptive/over-hyping. But I understand that the public at large is unaware of the feature set and they wish to make a good impression.

Not necessarily; Yao Ming seemed to be pretty popular.
I miss the codeless code. Wish someone would take up that mantle.
Really cool.

Seems like an open-source mashup of something like Lynq https://lynqme.com/ - and Gotenna https://gotennamesh.com/

I've never liked Gotenna's requirement to be paired with a cellphone for tracking, so I've been watching Lynq's development for a while. But, I'd much rather have an open-source solution than one that depends on the fortunes and whims of a single compnay. Particularly if there was easy-to-use commercial hardware available with the open source software.

The other downside of Lynq is that it doesn't use mesh networking, e.g., every Lynq unit can only communicate with other units it can connect to directly. That means if you have a group of 3 people all in a line, separated by 3-miles, only the person in the middle will be able to find the location of the entire group, and the people at the ends of the line would be invisible to each other.

Anyway - all that to say - I'm super-excited for your project and wish you all the best.
So what we provide is not an SMS OTP login. SMS OTP is insecure, that's why we recommend apps not to use SMS OTP as a way to authenticate users. The SMS OTP is only used as a way to verify that the phone number is actually active.

The main idea is that we are making phone number login more secure by using Trusted Devices to login instead of SMS OTP. Using trusted devices, users can only login from their trusted device, and would need approval to login from another device. Our goal is to make it easy and fast for developers to make a secure authentication flow using phone numbers by just using our SDK.

Also, Twilio might be pretty simple to use in the US, but the pricing for other countries doesn't make sense. So we also help by integrating with local sms providers.

Anyone with legal knowledge of MA willing to chime in on this?
This sounds like the sort of thing that would be useful outside of data science. Which leads to the question of whether it needs to be generalized, or redone differently for different specializations. Which in turn seems like the sort of question that it's tricky to answer with AI.
> But they're bidding for the attention of the kinds of researchers who find URL whitelist validation bugs.

No they’re not. Just because this happened to be a URL whitelist bug doesn’t mean that this is the primary work that the researcher who found the bug does. Did a URL whitelist validation researcher find this, or did someone researching user auth access find this bug? If Google knew exactly who they wanted to find this bug, then Google would have already found it themselves.

Is there something on rsync.net's site that describes its support for zfs send?

I've found this old thread on HN referring to an Arstechnica article:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10751269

and a reference to it on IXSystem's site:

https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/rsync-net-now-su...

but they're both back in 2015.

I can't find anything on the site, https://www.rsync.net/index.html, but I may be reading right past it.
It’s not (just) HN, it’s AMD.

HN is not exactly the source of truth for anything technical, but generally people are either in the ballpark on technical comments, or (more likely) get corrected by someone who is.

On AMD posts that doesn’t happen and it just becomes a low quality cesspool of “I just bought a gaming PC and chose AMD”, “Intel is on life support right now omg”, and a few poorly supported rationalizations of the post's topic.

And when you call it out these people assume you’re defending Intel (because to them it’s a holy war)
Next.js is really great, and has definitely helped push the industry forward. I'm not a fan of the way they handle routing, though, and we need to be able to evolve Redwood without fighting against our dependencies. If I had to guess, we may end up writing our own versions of other things as time goes on. We're all about integration, and sometimes you have to own things yourself to make it all work as seamlessly as possible.
The Cultural Revolution in Maoist China was a deliberate strategy. The whole Gramscian idea of attaining "hegemony" in a "long march through the institutions" is just as goal-oriented, though success of the core idea is far more mixed than is generally acknowledged.
> Most of the value of an elite education is signaling

Not in my case (Caltech). It was clear when I got an industry job that a BS from Caltech was at about the same level as an MS from other institutions. But if the institution is large enough, one can get an elite education by careful selection of the classes and professors, and doing the maximum in those classes rather than just getting by.

For example, take honors calculus, not weeder calculus. Don't avoid the math heavy classes. Don't waste your time with easy-A classes. If you don't find yourself studying 6 hours a day, you're not getting an elite education.
most schools have some sort of database with everyone's course registration and often finals follow a regular schedule that can be derived from the student's course enrollment. I don't know why they even bother to make students tell the RA. they could just send each student's exam schedule directly to the RA and require some written notice from the professor to document exceptions.

another question is why it even matters. what are they going to do with the fraction of dorms that are empty after the first day of exams that can't wait a few more days?
> The only downside is that someone has to take notes, which can be hard while walking, unless you can remember everything.

I would hate to miss out on that experience because of the coronavirus fears.

Well, mostly related to 1933 - 1945 references, if I recall it correct. Basically the "N-Word"-category, but related to jewish people. I think one tweet also said "Judenvernichtung" ("extermination of the Jews").

So, yeah, in hindsight, I should have modified the corpus. But at that time, around 2017, I was pretty angry at how Twitter handled these strikes.

P.S.: The account is still online and has 775 followers. Maybe I should revive it in a more "harmless" way. It was fun.
Now here, you have to consider who is making the decisions.

The president of MIT was born in 1950. The Chairman of the Board was class of '73. Virtually everyone in senior leadership are in categories with 10+% mortality rates.

I'm not cynical about everything about the Institute (see my other comments, correcting cynical theories), but this is a place where I know many of the personalities involved personally, and I'm definitely very, very cynical.
I am way out of my depth so maybe this is pure nonsense, but presumably the goals aren't so much to evolve better performing models directly for some dataset specifically, but to see what kinds of model families it evolves and whether we've thought of all of them?

Once we've got one we can then presumably train specific models in a more targeted way.
Preparing your startup for Covid-19 and other epidemics
Since you've been using Svelte for a few months after using React, haven't you been hit by the lack of composability in Svelte?

Passing around components as variables is such a common pattern in React, and there's no good replacement in Svelte. The lack of dynamism in components and styles makes theming and crafting reusable components (outside of simple widgets) very tedious [1][2]. I'm genuinely curious how someone can come from React and not be bothered by it.

There is a "C language mode" inside cl.exe (by file extension or by /TC flag) and there's plenty of C that doesn't compile as C++.

eg.:

char *p = malloc(n);

No explicit casts from void*!

Anyway, around the time they started allowing mixed declarations and code in a .c file, I was noticing on-the-job that this was becoming a disproportionate source of build failures in intended-to-be-portable .c files my colleagues were writing on Unix. It was as if cultural memory of pre-C99 declaration requirements was disappearing specifically around that time. So it makes sense to me that they went ahead and added it. They probably got a lot of complaints.
The thing with semi-abusive, semi-fun-loving group of friends and the perhaps multitude of kind of ambiguously abusive relationships one might notice small circles of people, is that these seldom scale to millions of people nor do they scale to long periods of time.
MIT has an office of the general counsel and a baker's dozen of high qualified and experienced attorneys (not including supporting staff).

It is possible they are violating the law, but it's probably worth assuming they aren't and understanding why. It may be related to the MA governor declaring a state of emergency a couple of hours ago.
It sounded baffling to me, but she is not getting tested and she is at home with the symptoms. Of course she could make the whole thing up, but I don't see any reason for her to do that I and it doesn't fit her character.

Edit: I want to add, I totally understand not anybody who believes they have the virus can be tested and there has to be some measure that they have to apply. For me the most likely explaination is that the lady on the phone was telling her shit that is not part of the offical line.

yes, that's what we thought also. Also, the phone is optional for our case (though you need it for sending texts - if you don't have one the display still shows rxed texts and headings/distance to members of the channel)
As a fully integrated framework solution, it may be hard to gradually adopt Redwood, and that's ok. If you already have a setup you like, and it gives you the flexibility that you need, then that's awesome! I want Redwood to be around for the majority of devs that don't already have a sweet setup going, and are lamenting the endless hours of choosing, setup, and integration ahead of them just to get something started.
WFH could potentially save thousands more from reduced car accidents / pollution from commuting.
I don't think the parent poster was confusing encryption for compression or suggesting security by obscurity. He just meant that JSON is never sent in pretty-printed plain text over the wire, so you always need tooling to view it.

This has been my experience with JSON as well. Almost all JSON in the wild especially in web services and RPC is at least minified, so you need to pass it through something like `python -m json.tool` to reformat it for viewing. So you might as well use MessagePack and pass it through `msgpack2json -d` to view it instead. It makes no difference whether the underlying format is human readable.
You would miss on that experience because of the risk of contamination within your peers, not because of the "fear".
Wow, I love that movie.

SQL. From what I can tell it'll be around for a long while, and so many companies require skills in data extraction and analysis. Not to mention that most apps built with a front-end framework will usually interface with their database using an SQL-like language. Data underpins most of the value in tech; learn how to manipulate and analyse it with a language like SQL.

Yes, that's what happens, although "best buddy" is really "company that pays us the most for the orders."

I am not sure if you meant it this way but "best buddy" implies that something shady is going on. If you want to pay Robinhood more for their order flow than Virtu & Citadel I'm sure they would be happen to send you all the orders you could fill.
Virus is truly the most impactful weapon you could think of to disrupt a society...
do you live in the US? getting kicked out of housing is usually a major stick that colleges use to enforce disciplinary codes. at my school, the first serious offense would result in being kicked from one dorm to another (I guess to separate you from your network of troublemakers?). after enough strikes, you would be kicked out of campus housing altogether (if not suspended/expelled). iirc, they would usually give about a week's notice if you were only being kicked out of the dorm, or a bit more if you had to find off-campus housing. definitely no full month's notice or drawn out eviction process.
High-risk individuals should be quarantining themselves. It'd be a far more effective strategy than any other measure.

MIT Spring Break starts on March 20th (at the latest, depending on exams) so it looks like they're taking advantage of the timing. Most students would already have plans to leave so this is less disruptive than during the term and potentially less risky than waiting until end of term.
