> Really? That's a "launch" these days? At least scrounge up a few hundred bucks and throw up some Facebook ads. Reddit and Hacker News have some of the most cynical and thrifty readers out there. Networking and getting the word out is half the battle. With such little effort put into the launch, OP could have been selling a dollar for fifty cents and no one would've cared.

Eh, I tried exactly this for a "thought bubble" project I had. Figured a landing page and $200 on ads would be the best way to gauge demand before writing any code.

Seemed like a great success - 50 or so e-mail signups, time to roll up my sleeves and start building! Until I looked closer and realized that every single signup was from a clearly fraudulent address. There's absolutely zero chance that they all just happened to be female, nicely formatted [firstname].[lastname]@gmail.com addresses.

Using ads to dip your toe in the water might have worked ten years ago, but there's just way too much fraud nowadays. I think you're better off finding your first ten users manually and asking very nicely for their time and feedback.

That was a few years ago, but I launched my app on the Play Store recently and noticed the exact same pattern. Definitely fake, too, because accounts were created in Firebase without user profiles (i.e. the app was never launched). I assume there are bot farms scanning new releases for certain packages (e.g. Firebase) and creating fake accounts.
I mean, if you're concerned about the keystrokes, learn your editing shortcuts. Jumping to the beginning of the line is typically one or two keystrokes.

But the parent obviously wasn't talking about the behavior of avoiding useless cats making you better, but the understanding that drives the recognition of which cats are useless and why you might want to avoid them.

I'm... not sure about that claim, fwiw. On the one hand, I see a lot of people really mushy on the unix process model, what pipes are, how redirection works, etc. Firming that up is important, will lead you to be a better sysadmin and a better programmer if you work in a sufficiently unixy environment (and possibly otherwise), and spotting useless cats falls out of it.

On the other hand, caring about useless cats is not a necessary consequence. Caring might motivate understanding... but might just lead to overfitting a bunch of poorly understood patterns to avoid the label.

So I am skeptical. But you should respond to the claim actually made.
Go has a system for telling where to fetch based on the URL response. You can basically send anything if you are evil, but Go modules keep a hash of seen content (what Deno calls a lockfile), so you’d notice that it changed.
MUCH less training for SLIGHTLY worse results. It's a huge benefit to be able to make this trade-off.

Good that arstechnica clearly explains that SHA-1 is the problem here. The protocol in question is called ssh-rsa, which easily leads to the misunderstanding that RSA keys would be deprecated.

If I as a non-cryptographer understood it correctly the keys can remain, but different fingerprints are needed. Is it so that you have fingerprints in known_hosts, but not in authorized_keys?

Translation: selling the bikes would remove those buyers from our pool of potential renters.

People like bashing java, but java based frameworks (and other JVM based ones) are always at the top. Solid foundations, great virtual machine, epic tooling, great and reliable libraries (which do not change every 3 months like in node), and in the recent time much faster evolution of the language. And if you do not like java as a language (which has its downfalls and problems) you can use Kotlin or Scala, or even Haskell on the JVM if you fancy so.

Funny to see rails, django, laravel and other most popular frameworks from dynamic languages at the bottom of the list with such bad performance. Even the Java heavy weight Spring framework is much closer to the top.

Not to mention that JVM can support all kinds of concurrent, parallelism and scaling models.
Twitter, Facebook etc created this problem (exemplified by Trump) and continue to benefit from it. Social media has significantly amplified expressions outrage and taken an active role in spreading those messages, which in turn has given rise to all manner of demagogues and populists. If the day ever comes that these companies are forced to atone for the corrosive effect they have had on discourse and politics all over the world, it can't happen to a more deserving group.

Please have your strawman back as I said nothing about the feasibility of a one-time cure. I was backing up dTal's right to say that a one-time cure would be superior, without suffering a pointless ad-hominem rejoinder that why don't they find one if they're so clever.

One-time cures may be a sci-fi dream but they are highly desirable, as anyone who needs regular/prophylactic treatment for any severe ongoing condition knows.

I didn't think tabulated data was copyrightable
What would you be competing with? Cmd/Ctrl-C/X/V for cut copy and paste are the norm. By allowing your app to use those keys you aren't overriding the browser, you're making your app conform to the standards. Even native apps do this. The OS may provide cut/copy/paste in an OS level text widget but it doesn't provide it in Word, Excel, Photoshop, or Audacity. That's up to the app. In the same way doing the same thing is up to the web app for anything not plain text.

Most web major apps do this. Office365, Google Docs/Sheets/Slides. Even Facebook/Slack/Gmail since they re-interpret the text (converting :-) into emoji and or replace with images.
There was a trick I saw once, where you could use the editing commands in openboot, plus the fact that it could read UFS volumes, to find the offset of the root entry in the on-disk shadow file and zero or change it if you'd lost the password.

When I was in school, the astronomy dept. used a remote telescope in Wyoming. I guess there was dial-up to send commands to open the dome if the weather looked nice, to send coordinates to aim the scope, and to set exposure times for the CCD. The connectivity wasn't enough to download lots of data, so there was a data collection box; a 16mhz Sun IPC workstation in the "lunchbox" form factor, roughly 10"x10"x5". Someone had written a program in OpenFirmware Forth to read data off of whatever storage was on the scope via the IPC's serial port, and write it to the internal SCSI drive. After every observing run, a collaborator would put the IPC in a backpack and jog it up the mountain, so it could be plugged into a scope & terminal, and run the collector code to pull the data. A friend's first real job was maintaining that forth code; he still has nightmares about it.

Having system firmware that is that flexible is pretty nice, but really hard to write marketing copy for.
We need a new default hash algorithm for general purpose stuff, because sha512 is a bit too long for copy/paste imho.

I propose shac = sha1sum(sha512sum(data)) - for sha concatenated.

What's interesting is we're both reading "encourage the unfettered and unregulated development of free speech on the Internet," and my take on it is that yes, section 230 is there to explicitly protect Twitter under this circumstance, and you take it as giving Trump the ability to censor them.

Thankfully, one of the authors of the section in question has actually stated exactly what it means: https://twitter.com/RonWyden/status/1266052221072019456

"As the co-author of Section 230, let me make this clear: there is nothing in the law about political neutrality. It does not say companies like Twitter are forced to carry misinformation about voting, especially from the president."

I'd guess it's there to support cryptographic protocols that require downloading/checking keys via HTTPS. Right before that line is "Implementation of the Certificate Management Protocol (CMP, RFC 4210) also covering CRMF (RFC 4211) and HTTP transfer (RFC 6712)".

And yes, use curl.

Yeah they just calculate the potential energy as if workers can move limestone blocks with perfect efficiency in frictionless conditions. It wouldn't surprise me if it took 2-4x its potential energy (or more) to move any given block into place.
Hi Dustin, thank you for your answer. Is there any experiment using the current search relevance evaluation dataset (bing queries for example) that compared Algolia's search relevance to other alternatives?

What difference does it make? The world is already full of humans who pollute comments and articles. They're not limited in their rate of production of words because there are far too many of them for anybody to read. They're limited by access to readers and their reading rate. Bots can't do anything about that.

When asking for help solving a problem, I start writing a question to ask someone, and then as I start explaining what I've tried (to try to be respectful of their time and them not have to repeat anything I've done) more and more things to try occur to me. By the time I've tried all the things that occur to me while describing the problem, I've solved the problem. That's the way it works out more often than not.
This is absolutely not disingenuous, this is reading the EO exactly as written without putting a bias on it. It very clearly states that removing things not specifically protected in the Act do not grant you the protections provided by the act. What’s disingenuous is trying to put a personal bias on this and trying to convince others this is true.

GPT-2 would go out to lunch sometimes when generating poetry, but it would also create some pretty remarkable strings of words. This always stuck out to me from the work Gwern did:

'How the clouds Seem to me birds, birds in God’s garden! I dare not! The clouds are as a breath, the leaves are flakes of fire'

My home is surrounded by a fairly large variety of deciduous trees, and 'flakes of fire' is by far the best descriptor I've ever heard of their colors in the fall.

One of the other things i noticed about poetry (and songs) coming from these language models is they are amazing at bleakness. Just dark, dark, darker, fin. haha

This is purely my personal opinion, but I’m not sure if one pandemic in 100 years will be enough to influence population trends. But I think if this happens again, definitely.

I also wanted to add that human health comes in many dimensions. Having lived for years in a mega city, it’s clear to me that it is bad for my mental and physical health. There is something spiritually and mentally freeing about lower density cities and the balance they strike. They also encourage you to experience the outdoors more. The character of smaller cities - like open air, outside the shadows of high rises or even mid rises, with ample green spaces, private homes with backyards, etc. are a massive boon to overall health.

I view overurbanization as a fad that we will ultimately pull back from as we return to seek the basics and a connection to a simpler existence. Or maybe that’s just my hope.
Ok, that’s fair. Editorialize isn’t exactly right - except - it’s not just a reply. It’s altering the format to include a new entry that no one else could make. I suppose in my mind that’s how I would view an editor redlining something.
I don't know if NASA themselves could stick Saturn engines onto new rockets, but I reckon the Air Force probably could. Air force technicians are pretty good at fabricating and fitting parts from what I've seen.

Skills like hand fabrication and fitting aren't something that you can store. You can record videos or interview skilled tradesmen as much as you want, but the real skill is something that is learned through experience, it's muscle memory and intuition, not theoretical knowledge.
Well, summer is comming. Got to have some latin grooves for that beach feeing.
You can't even imagine. A goal has been set by the management to get specific results on some benchmarks, by improving the framework. We have weekly meetings to follow up on improvements and next tasks to keep track on these goals. And these meetings involve super qualified engineers and also brilliant open source contributors. I can t describe the level of technicity at each of these meetings. The impact on the framework is tremendous, you can follow it as our charts are public. And the goals are already reached, which is not yet reflected on TechEmpower as we only submit release bits. This is good for PR, but as much for also for any developper using dotnet.

I am entering my fifth military deployment so I can speak to the nature of spontaneously formed teams of strangers. Intelligence is largely, but not completely, irrelevant. You learn to identify that a team is strongest due to a mix of good discipline and putting the proper personalities in the correct positions and then codifying a single common purpose. I recommend reading the book Good To Great for further examination.

Moral Foundations Theory
SAs have their own likes/dislikes. From an end-user dev point of view AIX is pretty harsh. XCOFF binaries mean almost no tooling works with them. It’s 2020 and IBM finally came around to adopting LLVM/Clang to the platform. There’s lots of strange deployment warts like no $ORIGIN support, everything is shared/PIC but you have none of the ELF naming support, shared libraries stay in a system-wide library cache even after the processes exit (i.e. updating the file on disk and starting a new process will not guarantee it is used), and the list goes on and on. It takes a huge amount of effort to keep all the usual open-source packages running there.

You have to do the open-source work, though, because the vendor side is as close to abandonware as you can come. The OS is basically not touched unless they have to. For example, they gave up trying to actually fix their system headers to have C++ include guards, so they just hacked the compiler to extern C all system headers —- a terrible hack that GCC actually adopted as well to stay compatible. There’s no versioning of user-space library additions or changes, so you can’t easily make code forwards/backwards compat in the preprocessor. They gave up trying to follow modern C++ and pulled in a Clang front-end. User binaries remained broken for years until anyone complained about them. There are people there doing the bare minimum to add support for some new POSIX interface that comes out, but the headers are not “clean” in the same way that the Solaris ones are. Solaris headers and man pages are some of the best I’ve ever seen. They could constantly improve the system, but they don’t. They do what customers ask for and no more.

It might be great at taking some Fortran simulation and cranking the nodes up, but it’s not great at coming anywhere close to competing with Linux for general computing use.

I’ve seen the opposite from a company overcompensating. There was a remote office and some complained about promotion opportunities. There were promotions alright and then there were several complaints about the competence of some people there. Nothing was done for a long time other than blaming the people who complained about not working with them better. They didn’t try to argue that the people were actually competent since there had been multiple complaints from multiple people. Furthermore, there were obvious issues. The remote office basically formed a remote clique. They eventually got reorg’d out of existence as an individual group due to incompetence.

I think it just depends on the particular situation. It can swing either way.
> You want a promotion but don't want to switch companies?

This is the current situation I find myself in. In my current company, there's just no way to get a promotion whilst staying in my current team. I can probably get one if I apply for a role in another team, but this honestly feels stupid.

So the only other way is to switch companies.

>the WHO is predicting 1 billion people will starve this year

This simply isn't true and it undermines your argument. The UN and WHO estimate that the virus will push an additional 100-250 million people into an at risk category of starvation. This category already has ~850 million people in it every year, of which 3-5 million actually starve.

This is horrific, and there is no need to exaggerate.
