Here in Berlin, the unavoidably well-advertised dildo company seems to have started a poster campaign just for the pandemic. Roughly translated, the posters read “Keep Calm and Use Dildos”.
Reddit's best big technical communities are better on this regard too. Their moderation is more transparent and dependent on volunteerism, and somehow even the more serious communities squeeze in more humor.

Also, HN gives you the vibe such that you'd wish to argue about the orthogonality of empathy and signal? As opposed to HN feels like SO?
>>Furries do not believe there is a cartoon character living inside of them.

>Heavens no. That would be absurd.

Absurd or not that's what DID is. DID used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder, but got renamed. A furry doesn't have multiple people living inside of them. They might RP as a character or characters, but if that is DID so is Dungeons and Dragons.

It's easy to misunderstand psychological disorders from a description, so I don't blame the confusion.

Just filter for offensive words/subjects? Can't be difficult to overcome.
Do they actually though? If you have empathy for the people in your community, are you not more likely to contribute more meaningfully to that community (I.e. more signal)?

If you build enough shelter space to house the homeless population, by law your choices are to sleep in the shelter or go to jail if you refuse. Until enough shelter space is built, you can continue to sleep on the sidewalk. See the Boise decision which dictates this policy all over the Western United States.

I know these consent warnings are generally considered an annoyance, as well as dangerous due to consent fatigue. Not to mention the little hacks I've seen POCs of where clicking the consent button allows for lots of nasty things since it works around the browser's autoloading javascript restriction since the user has to interact with the page.

But I personally love these warnings and consent messages. I wish there were more of them! I wish there was a consent message before any kind of cross-origin action was allowed. Can you imagine how many there would be on any sites that use ad networks?

It's one step further. Scientific research is what it is.
I don't know. Although I would be mildly surprised if there was a single universal spam filter applied to all Gmail accounts. I would also think there are more inputs to the system than just the sender and the body of the email. Gmail being so big allows other variables like the rate that address is sending to all of Gmail as well as how users engage with those emails. Therefore getting a single test email through the filter probably isn't proof that you have defeated the overall filter.
How can you enforce it on the browser site? The issue is not the data stored on the client. In many ways it is impossible to implement.
None of these companies had to deal with the current investment environment. It's an arms race. While it's a chicken and the egg issue since both Facebook and Google provide virality and discovery, respectively, and it is those two features, virality and discovery that lead to a positive return on investment from blitzscaling.

Besides discovery and virality, there is also the issue of falling transaction costs. When Google, Facebook and Amazon were founded, you had to maintain your own datacenters and infrastructure. That alone produced a massive barrier to entry that made competition less fierce. Since the advent of AWS and other cloud computing platforms, transactions costs for tech companies have dropped dramatically so you can't rely on infrastructure prowess as a competitive advantage for many tech verticals.

You simply can't compare companies that were born and matured in different markets with different dynamics to those founded in the past 10-15 years. It's apples and oranges.
I listened to a podcast that interviewed Barbara Tversky, a psychology researcher specializing in spatial reasoning.

She mentioned at one point an explanation of this is that your sensory/motor neurons are not evenly mapped across the surface of your body. That is, your brain devotes far more sensory neurons to your fingers than say, your back. The "resolution" is higher in certain important areas, and this might explain why kids' drawings almost universally have giant hands with fingers, and giant heads, and de-emphasize things like the torso.
VSCode is a decent app, but I no longer consider it an electron app. It uses tons of c++ and you'd have to have the cash to buy the electron team (like ms did) to get anywhere close to what they have done.

What fraction of communication on a typical HPC system is overlapped with computation? My guess is rather little, despite the Mellanox sales pitch. I do wish people commonly made cluster-global profiling-type measurements to be able to answer that sort of question and do optimization.
Work lunches, weddings, and so forth are a control for that. My experience is you always know who the vegans are in advance.

Although I have learned from that that you need to hover around the vegan dishes to stop the non-vegans from eating it all before the vegans get to it, or order far more than should be needed.

Right now, nothing. If you build enough shelter space, by law, you no longer can make these decisions. If there is enough shelter space to house the homeless population, the choices become go to the shelter or go to jail. This is why we need to build more shelters as soon as possible.
Surprisingly Azure pipelines, which I understand is used underneath GitHub actions, does support report CI results in this nice way on GitHub, e.g., see these results from a recent PR on one of my projects:
https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/4017/checks?check_run_...

For now, at least, it seems like this is one reason not to switch to GitHub actions yet.
The existence of "modes" is also opposite to the approach which is know for decades to be less prone to accidental errors: having no modes and always being able to perform more undo steps.

There were even the games of considering what plain text typed in wrong mode would cause the most of the damage.

The main reason Vim and Emacs have their current followers is that the competing editors on Linux or Unix platforms are significantly worse (on average), not that these two are by any means any kind of the possible optimum. And boy, is the competition worse.

(Personally, I use console editors only if I have to, and then prefer to use vim, but otherwise I prefer my customized low-footprint programmable GUI.)
I've always considered that it's more about comfort than productivity. And perhaps that comfort leads to a small increase in productivity, but more because you enjoy it than because it's so much faster to use (as we always say, we spend more time thinking that writing). And because so many tools use vi-style keybindings, if you spend any significant amount of time in a terminal, then you're going to experience that comfort and familiarity all the more.

The only reason you need consent is when you're tracking people or storing data that isn't required for the functionality of the site.

Shopping carts, subscription services etc. will still work, you don't need to consent to that, as long as you're not tracking people or handling their data unecessarily.

When you see one of those cookie popups it is a sign that the website is trying to get more information out of you than they need.
It's especially interesting to me because (as the article points out), it doesn't require any really exotic equipment or skills to build one. I'm a little surprised no one built one long before helium-neon lasers.
It really just depends on what you value most when it comes to "friendliness". If you value being able to just swipe your card or enter your details and be done with it, and not have to deal with 2FA prompts, remembering a PIN, digging in an app on your phone, or waiting for a code via SMS, then you might not mind the small price increases around the board to account for fraud.

Not saying that's the case for everyone, but you can't define "customer friendly" in a narrow way that conforms to your personal desires and assume that's that.

Also consider that if banks did have strong authentication around every purchase, there would be less of an incentive for banks or merchants to agree to roll over and eat the cost when there is fraud (and more ammunition for them against laws that require them to). No security/anti-fraud system is perfect, and something will always slip through; I wouldn't want to be a card holder stuck with a big bill because someone managed to clone/swap my SIM (for example) and make transactions using my card if I had no protection from that.
Yes, it means that if you consent for cookies, you don't get annoying popups everywhere.
Or, what actually would be interesting, a law explicitly disallowing "please enable X-Allow-Tracking for this website" popups.

Right now the web is broken anyway - some pay (in data and ads), some are free-riders. And everyone is pested by cookie popups. This "no tracking unless required for functionality" would make it nice to change a model for actually paying for use. (It promotes quality content, less distractions, less clickbaits; and thinking twice if you want to spend more time on yet another meme aggregator.)
It doesn't "map" anywhere. It's just a domain name. DNS happens like it happens for any other domain.

I thought the point of TypeScript was to transcend certain limitations of the JavaScript language, while still being able to write for browsers.

It’s a bit awkward, you have a transpile the script, and generate source maps to debug it, but hey, that’s life in a browser.

So if you’re not stuck in a browser, and can run any language you want, why in the world would you do all that?
I have an OCD-like tendency where I absolutely cannot stand being greasy. I’ve yet to find a sunscreen that I can handle being on, especially in my face.

As a wedding photographer that’s a bit of a problem - some days I’m out in the blazing sun for 12 hours. I take supplements that largely prevent sunburn, but I doubt they help with UV damage much. This article has made me feel better about that.
I've had pretty good results fitting both physical training and work, at least, into the day. 1 hour a day, 6 days a week, of training. Every other day is submaximal strength training with an undulating periodization model, every other day is conditioning. The latter workouts rarely take more than 30 minutes, so there's time for some body maintenance.

I do pretty much the same type of thing each weekday, with a set progression plan that I review every 6 weeks. I don't need to fret about what I'm going to be doing each day, I just go and do it when it's time, and then it's done. This is new because I definitely used to have a hard time getting serious about anything other than training. I think learning to program in such a way that I don't actively dread the workouts, and that I'm still functional the next day, has been key here.
is this “equally easy” criterion met by a site that says “hi! we don't know each other yet, but you can't procede until you've either pressed the 'accept' button or found the 'manage options' link, worked evert oh good you're bored now thanks for clicking”

and then never shows it again, so i don't really know where i would go to manage consent.

i don't see why companies can't just behave like decent human beings. why do they want me to not trust them?
Ah! I was referring to the graphical issues. Behavior is more important, of course.

My two and my four year old love dancing to "Die Roboter".
If you look at the profile pictures on Twitter, Tumblr, WordPress, etc., they fall into a few categories:

• fallback — e.g. the egg image on twitter

• explicitly algorithmic — e.g. http://identicon.net/

• logotypes — actual logos, icons, arbitrary aesthetically-pleasing typographical art

• headshots of real people

• photographs of real-life things — places, nature, buildings, etc.

• crops from TV/film — headshots of actors playing characters, or whatever you'd call Baby Yoda

• famous works of art — crops of prints of paintings, crops of photos of sculptures

• commercially-marketable art — box art, movie posters, crops from cartoons/anime, professionally-commissioned CG paintings that fit the style of their source material

• unknown, non-marketable art — works that are clearly either self-made, or commissioned as a one-off, where the work has traits that make it specific-enough to someone's tastes that it obviously would never have been produced as spec work without an arranged buyer/planned use

The parent's point is that, for all the categories except the last, there's an obvious way to scrape or generate a million such images, that someone can include in their spambot/voting-ring registering algorithm.

The last category, though—custom competent-but-not-commercial-looking illustrations—were, in some sense, a Proof of Work token for the profile it was attached to: someone had to draw that (and even more, gather requirements to draw that, rather than it just being one keyframe following the same rules of thousands of others.) It cost a few dollars for that person to get that image; and therefore, it's less likely (though not impossible) that ten users with ten different such illustrations in a forum thread were all secretly the same person/bot.

There hasn't even been an AI that can do face-detection on funny-animal cartoons until now, AFAIK, so there was until now no way to even automate+scale scraping of "authentic" profile-pictures from some art-hosting website, let alone a way to automate+scale generating them. But now the cat's out of the bag. Bit of a shame.

This feels like the second technological revolution. I remember my Dad in the 1970's working with some of the largest companies to update all their old analog stuff with the new shiny computer databases. The stories he told me for years just blew my mind.

I figure the 70-90's were the first wave, this is easily going to be the second wave. It will have all the disruptions and human job loss, frantic movement of people to other industries and a ton of other misery just as the first one did.

Full disclosure: I'm also in automation. I'm currently doing RPA (Robotic Process Automation) development and our team is swamped with requests from teams who are trying to cut the fat out of their departments and reduce head count to try and save the company billions over the next five years.

I know we bristled at this in school, but I think there is in fact something to the idea of presenting a discipline to people in a Cliff's Notes version of chronological order. Otherwise you may never see the value in the foundational works in that area (or as the case here, artistic medium).
The corporate direction could be based on pricing. Azure DevOps (pay per concurrent job) can be a lot cheaper than Github Actions (pay per minute of CI time, with macOS minutes counting as 10 minutes each).
No this is a fresh implementation and completely in Javascript. ERPNext is a client-server application based on Python.

There were a couple of itches we were trying to scratch. First we realized that a lot of people were looking for a good free accounting application and ERPNext was just too heavy. Also we realized that cloud is a bottleneck. Most SMB owners can't manage a cloud or write a simple Shell command.

The only way to truly build decentralized solution was Desktop. Also we realized this was a big gap in FOSS offerings.

This is just the first version, we do plan to add inventory and other capabilities overtime.

> none of the major religions or ancient philosophers share this outlook.

That's because the major religions of history, especially the major organized religions, are part and parcel with their adjacent governmental power structure, and basically share it's interests, which mostly have to do with extracting value from the populace.

Plenty of philosophers, however, have spoken counter to this, from the Epicurians, to the Lokayatas, to Omar Khayyam.

There were two changes in the "Softbank model" -- first was investing at this scale without a real network effect or any sort of "moat," and the other was just the sheer speed of the investment -- an avalanche instead of a snowball. A company like WeWork doesn't have any real reason that it needs to grow hyper-fast -- it's a Ben and Jerry's.
