You know, before top posting was a thing, you actually edited the parts you were replying to so that only the bits you addressed remained in your mail. And if you addressed several parts, you separated them, so that it was clear which part of your mail addressed which part of your correspondent's.

No re-reading of every reply was necessary, of course. If you hadn't read it before, you could read the quoted parts in full, otherwise it took a mere glance to remind you of exactly what was being replied to. This made reading emails fast, since you could easily be reminded of the context within a few hundred milliseconds, but also had details immediately available in case you had forgotten.

These days, that's impossible, of course. You get a reply, and have to dig back in memory for what's being replied to, because of course the 1200 pixel signature and legalese in the footer will have pushed the replied to part off the screen. And when, after some scrolling and clicking, you find the original message, it's of course impossible to know exactly which part of the original mail is being addressed in the reply, since with top posting, there's no way of connecting your reply to the specific part you're replying to.
I'm not a financial expert, but there's a line in their 10-K's about how their loan agreements prevent them from paying dividends. I think that leaves buybacks as the only way of letting owners take profit from their earnings. Not sure why that's such a moral issue here?
Thank you so much for this! I recently got into Twitter and following local news in an effort to stay informed but boy do the comments enrage/scare me. It’s just crazy how tribal things have gotten. Is there any end of this sort of division in sight? Every year I think it will get better but it doesn’t.

If nothing else this seems like the type of data that you just don't want to collect. The PR and potential risks of what happens next massively outweigh any sort of value I could see this having given the situation around COVID.

Posts are mostly on random topics in programming - introductory notes to refer later, issue fixes, etc.
Even though the implementation details are far from trivial, the general idea is fairly typical. Most advanced compression algorithms work the same way.

- Using the previously decoded data, try to predict what's next, and the probability or being right

- Using an entropy coder, encode the difference between what is predicted and the actual data. The predicted probability will be used to define how many bits to assign to each possible value. The higher the probability, the less bits will be used for a "right" answer and the more bits will be used for a "wrong" answer.

Decoding works by "replaying" what the encoder did.

The most interesting part is the prediction. So much that some people think of compression as a better test for AIs that the Turing test. You are basically asking the computer to solve one of these sequence-based IQ tests.

And of course neural networks are one of the first thing we tend to think of when we want to implement an AI, and unsurprising it is not an uncommon approach for compression. For instance, the latest PAQ compressors use neural networks.

Of course, all that is a general idea. How to do it in practice is where the real challenge is. Here, the clever part is to "grow" the image from low to high resolution. Which kinds of reminds me of wavelet compression.
You should always be suspicious of claims by or about a company that they made no profit when they were able to throw billions at propping up their stock price. If it's true it's financial malpractice, but it's no more believable than the shenanigans of highly profitable megacorporations that somehow end up paying no federal taxes.

The airlines also have plenty of access to credit, collateralized by their airplanes. The loan portion of the bailout, from my understanding, is contingent upon them using up all those lines (which they haven't, both Delta & United were each able to borrow $2B in March in preparation for the shutdown). E.g. United borrowed $2B from JPMorgan Chase https://ir.united.com/static-files/fafc24ea-c999-4dc7-b6b3-d...

I have only experimented a bit with WireGuard because I wanted to avoid OpenVPN. The argument seems to be that it's more secure because it's implementation is small (the implication being that it's easier to audit) and being in the kernel ensures mass adoption (ensuring even more likelihood of audits and quick patches.) I'm interested if there are other technical advantages for specific threat models.
Here in Poland, only people studying medicine and maybe some hard sciences (chemistry, physics) at best universities get so much workload. I studied CS at a supposedly one of top universities and I probably studied (in and out of class) for 10-20 hours per week on average.
It is kinda tricky. While i could see it as a possible instance of ad hominem in some cases, would it really count as a personal attack to say that someone who talks a lot of zany ideas might be doing that due to a lot of documented brain damage (concussions) in their past?

I dont think this specifically would count as an ad hominem, given the “personal attack” (lots of concussions in the past) is directly relevant to the current criticism and is a very probable source of their crazy illogical statements and opinions.

EDIT: just fyi, I didn’t downvote your comment. I think your question is very relevant and is in good faith. It is a shame that some people ganged up on your comment, because it seems genuine.
Modern ECT causes temporary confusion and short term memory issues, but my understanding is that they generally clear up after treatment. However, it's a month long treatment, and it's not advised to work or drive during that time. I don't think long term memory loss say several months after treatment is a common problem, but I could be wrong.

To my knowledge TMS doesn't have those memory issues.

Please keep in mind that modern ECT is nothing like what people see in the movies. While I'm not at all saying it should be a first tier treatment, it's a treatment option for those with otherwise treatment resistant depression (and also a few other disorders)

I was personally referred for ECT therapy last summer by my psychiatrist. I was in the middle of a massive depressive episode, had already tried a ton of different medications (and took a break from meds to see if that would help - it didn't), diets, etc. I even mentioned to my doctor I was to the point where I was potentially thinking about self-dosing on psychedelics or ketamine because I felt I had no other options. At that point ECT therapy even with bad side effects (which again to my knowledge don't normally last forever) would be better then suicide.

I didn't go through with it because I'd have to take a month off work, and get transportation to the clinic several times a week. Personally if it gets that bad again I'm going to try to get TMS therapy, as I'm also on the ASD spectrum, and there's been some evidence that suggests it may help those symptoms as well.

> I think there is a very good chance that some effect holds up.

Huge RCTs with many thousands of subjects only sometimes find effects for SSRIs which are the first thing doctors prescribe for depression after telling you to go get some exercise and sleep better. This study has N=21, isn't an RCT, and isn't even claiming to be studying efficacy. In terms of result robustness, this is about as strong as posting a poll in your team Slack channel.

Anyway, the study wasn't even focused on efficacy! It says so in the paper. But that didn't stop Stanford PR from putting the supposed efficacy in the headline anyway to get clicks/shares.
Not necessarily. It really depends on your platform and 3rd party library usage scope. There also exist very helpful shims for accessing legacy .NET Framework functionality as long as you are running your .NET Core applications on windows:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Windows.Compatibili...

The idea here being that you can quickly move to .NET Core using the compatibility shim, and then incrementally work your way off of it. .NET 5 will support the exact same concepts, so it still makes sense to engage this task if you want to get onto the new bandwagon.
So it's a job posting just formatted differently? I don't get it.

Rust isn't very FP, even if working with a borrow checker limits sharing, thus approaching the problem from a different angle, but with similar results as referential transparency.

And TypeScript doesn't have much in common with OCaml.

F# is similar with OCaml, yes, but it's missing some OCaml features such as functors and row polymorphism. It also uses .NET's OOP and introduces a couple of nice features of its own like type providers.

It's a cool language, especially if you want to target .NET

The long and short of it is Zeek(used to be call Bro) provides session based analysis whereas wireshark is primarily packet based. With a few exceptions, they both generally do the same thing but in different ways. Zeek is at the bones, an event-based engine with a scripting language (think node-js but from the 80s!) - the scripting language is actually what provides the logs generated by Zeek.

One key aspect of Zeek is that it can be deployed within a network to passively generate logs. As an incident response consultant, the few times I've worked with a client with Zeek logs, our ability to answer some critical questions in short order was increased dramatically! Back in my Sysadmin days, I used to run Zeek (when it was called Bro) to provide network logs for security review but also for general network analysis.

You can definitely run a pcap capture by wireshark through Zeek. you'd run `zeek -r <yourpcap>` and you'll end up with some lovely TSV separated logs in your current working directory!

Full transparency: I'm not part of the Zeek team, but I did author the original Zeek scripting guide for them back in 2012 or so. For my money, the Zeek team is building some of the better network appliances and detection/logging capabilities available.
Delta and United were each able to raise over $2B in credit. They have plenty of airplanes and facilities to use as collateral. Coming out of 2019 United had about $29B equity (assets - liabilities).

They don't really need a bailout to stay in business. The grant money for employees is contingent upon them keeping open flight routes that they'd otherwise close. Sec. of Transportation wants low traffic (small) cities to have access to medical supplies and whatnot (at least that's what she says, of course she's pro-business as well).
Top posting is actually quite useful for context when you've been CC'd on a thread in the middle: you can go back through the previous mails that are embedded at the bottom of the email and reconstruct the chain in your head. And one you've done that, you can just recollapse the quoted content and it won't bother you again for the rest of the thread. (You're using a mail client that automatically collapses this kind of thing, right? I do hope that the complaints about "visual noise" aren't just people pining for this feature…)
Just wanted to update here, as I did send them an e-mail after seeing this post. They are willing to adjust premiums if you give them a few bits of information such as how many miles you now drive per week on quarantine. I've yet to get a response as to how much the premium will be reduced, but it sounded promising.

I just mean I'm cheering for this lawsuit. Every money taken away from stupid "VC" is a win for the future peace of the economy. And obviously it has a very magnified effect - most exuberant people only want to buy at some kind of "all time high". I.e. taking away $1 from Masa will reduce the "dumb money pool" by many times that dollar.
Should I work for Google if I want to create a startup at the same time?
I have heard many sickening stories about how Google automatically owns the IP to ANY AND ALL side projects that you work on while employed at Google. This apparently even applies to projects that you work on during your own time and with your own resources. I could go on all day about how unethical this is, but first I wan't to know whether or nor this is true.

Let's say I'm hired at Google and at the same time I begin working on my startup during my free time (non-company hours) and with my own resources. Then after a year I leave the company and launch my startup. Will Google have the rights to sue me, or even if they do, will they?

All of this is would be taking place in California btw.
Is this even legal? Can someone who knows about Canada's tenant protection laws chime in?
He understands the power of rebasing, but he doesn't address how you use that power and also coordinate your work with other people.

He seems to be implying that it's OK to rebase against master and/or force push the remote ref, as long as the only person you are pleasing is yourself.

I mean, a lot of people progress in their Git knowledge until they reach the point where they want to minimize the clutter of merge commits. That's almost a cliche.

But how you do that when you are working with others, some of whom may have advanced Git knowledge while others are complete novices, that's what the real world looks like.
It also seems like exactly the sort of information that the credit agencies would collect and offer for sale.

As we have seen with their data breaches, they have no shame, and operating in a black box under the shield of "trade secrets" lets them do any slimy thing they want.

PR might bring down a small company like Naborly, but Experian and the others are bulletproof.
> To use Bootstrap 5 you have to answer this question: are corporations my customer, or could I ever pivot to a business strategy where corporations are my customer?

> If you don't care about money, then you can just answer no if you want, and you'll be fine.

You come off as weirdly bitter and hostile here.

Obviously when you choose tech, you have to weigh the pros and cons. It's part of our job. Why is it not our job when picking the foundation framework for our web client?

If you need IE11 support you can stay on Bootstrap 4 (we're still using Bootstrap 3!) or any of the other CSS frameworks. What's the problem?

Also, most people aren't in a position where they might accidentally take on corporate business in the future, either. Seems like a weird niche position to hammer on. And if you were in that position yet you chose a framework that, what, only works in Firefox unstable nightly, then you made a bad call and maybe you'll learn from the decision. So what?

Seems like weak reasoning for Bootstrap to never push the envelope when there is still Bootstrap 3 and 4 available. That's why they cut a new brand each time instead of just bumping semver on the same Bootstrap product. Every major version hop is basically a new framework.
Your argument points don't align. You first said that anything the platform doesn't agree with should be "Flagged and hidden by default, at best. They should be marginalized and stigmatized.". (Why not tar and feather while you're at it?) You're now stating that YouTube censors things based on business decisions. If it's about "business", wouldn't they want to promote juicy conspiracy theories to get more views?

Also, you have very strong opinions for someone cowardly hiding behind a throw-away account.
Hmm. I would not be so certain for a Chinese rise-up after covid19. If you had asked this question three months ago, no one would have doubted that China was on track to be the dominant world power, given that the Trump presidency trades American dominance for little to no gain (e.g. leaving Paris Accords, retreating out of Iraq/Afghanistan/Kurdistan, while at the same time cozying up with dictators and autocrats like North Korea or Saudi-Arabia), while at the same time China exploits the reduction of Western help in both Africa (where China now provides investment aid / work without the strings that are usually attached to Western aid, like rules of democracy) and Europe itself (where Italy, Greece, Spain and other countries, e.g. Croatia or Serbia, turn to China for financial / logistical assistance as the EU is unwilling to help out thanks to Germany/Austria/Netherlands opposing). Also, China abuses that influence regularly to tune down criticism of e.g. the Muslim Gulags or the Tibet situation, because a trade blockade or stop to supply money is an effective threat that China can make as many countries depend on cheap Chinese labor or money by now.

Now with Covid19 however? Many people and many corporations are effectively forced to diversify their supply chains (Apple most famously) or to re-nationalize critical production like ventilators or even mass goods such as masks, gloves and overalls for medical staff; at the same time consumers in most if not all nations will face a massive lack of spending power on goods that are not essential to their survival. Both of this will drastically reduce the dependence of Western (and other) nations on China, and if Corona FINALLY forces Germany and the Netherlands to drop their blockade of Eurobonds then also China won't be needed as financer for poor-er EU countries.

On the other side, I would also not bet on the US to rise to fill the void they themselves have left and China will leave, especially if Trump gets reelected (his approval ratings are on record highs for whatever reason). I'd rather expect a further deterioration of international institutions such as the UN and even EU as states will resort to more nationalism and a decent load of chaos in one or two years when there will be vaccinations available and global travel will begin to flow again...

> What is SAP Graph?
SAP Graph is a network of connected data objects that are stored and owned across different SAP solutions and technologies. The data objects that are made accessible through SAP Graph in an interconnected data model can be consumed through an HTTP-based API, which exposes data from multiple SAP systems in a unified schema.

Use of term Graph, in API context, seems to default to GraphQL assumption.
But I don’t see anywhere GraphQL mentioned.

> Applying imperfect physical theories causes bombs to explode where they shouldn't, nuclear plants to react when they shouldn't. We don't build fusion reactors today because we still need to determine the safety of isolating the plasma.

Failures in nuclear reactors can have disastrous outcomes for a huge number of people. Is this comparable to the use of prescription drugs under medical supervision? A failure in these cases means the patient may experience adverse effects for no benefit, a risk inherent in any treatment.

People are working on it. Meanwhile, we have make the best of what we know right now.

I have had a matrix instance on one of my servers running but integrating Jitsi was a real pain. And even when the integration is done correctly the user experience of using it within Matrix is at least weird. It appears as an "attachment" in the conversation and is very non-intuitive for everyone.
Interesting question. With an increase in dimensions, we consider the correlation between the features in addition to considering them individually. The work is currently under review. Feel free to get in touch and I can update you once we release the MStream work.
Let’s hope this is accurate! If we have a straightforward way to cope with dropping O2 values in blood, this is great.
Hm. I guess no-one has bothered with nftables yet, even when dealing with network code that's becoming part of the new upstream kernel (not just this blog, AFAIK wireguard upstream doesn't have any examples on using nftables either, just iptables).

I guess we need a new networking how-to?

Anyone aware of some resources I might have missed?

OK, I guess the nftables wiki is the "how-to":

WeWork’s handling of the coronavirus crisis has also caused some rifts with its membership, with press reports of members angry at it for refusing refunds for spaces they can’t (in good conscience) use.
