Honestly far more violent and highly accepted behaviors are pushed through media outlets as sane opinions every day, like military intervention or straight up misinformation campaigns (see: the OAS, who for some reason never evaluates the election health of rich northern american countries, who should logically have released some statement about facebook right now, let alone all the primary voting discrepancies). Hell the NyTimes alone had enough fuckups in the 00s alone they should be on the shortlist for fact checking suspicion.

If facebook is wading into being a truth-teller, they’re going to run straight into government-media-academia social circles a la Pinker, Chomsky, all the punditry on TV, all the punditry in opinion columns (claims still need fact checking even if the result is an opinion).

Then, how do you deal with framing the presentation of verifiable facts with extremely ominous and sinister tone/hinting? You can do an enormous amount of damage just making untestable, unverifiable implications.

IMHO facebook is gonna get squeezed till they pop over this, either by blatantly having political double standards or by becoming a misinformation-based hellhole. The accessibility of Truth is much harder than people realize, and I don’t even think it’s fair to off load this responsibility onto facebook. People are just strangely ok with believing bullshit.
Yes. Keep them coming.
I'm somewhat surprised that no-one mentioned https://bash.im (formerly bash.org.ru) yet. It started as a Russian equivalent of bash.org (the very first "quote" https://bash.im/quote/1 is infamously a translation of http://bash.org/?74629; and is still know as "bash org" even after the domain name change), but become a phenomenon of the Russian internet segment over the years.
As a Republican and as an American, it pains me to have that man as the standard barer. Even when he makes a point that I think main-stream circa 2006-2014 Republicans would have agreed with, he does it in such a bad, ham fisted, way that nothing changes. Even though Trump spent almost his entire adult life as not conservative, he's now what people associate with the term. But he's not "conservative" in any sense of the word: he's not conservative in temperament, he's not conservative in his use (or threat to use) of government power, he's not seeking to conserve any precedents. It makes it impossible to make any sort of debate on the actual point, because everything becomes about him.

It's something you will routinely see in subreddits. Someone makes a comment wanting to link this thread, and it will say "just have a read of https://google.com/amp/news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23322730....

The madenning part is you will see these links when using Firefox or Safari and you'll see them on a desktop. It is of course, not just Reddit thing. I've seen LinkedIn shares look like this.

Are you serious?

Two of your points are future feature promises. One of them is how Hasura plans to support other DB's besides Postgres, which they've already been exclusively working on & supporting for multiple years at this point.

Another mentions that you have plans to build a UI for non-technical people. This isn't different either, Hasura already has this too.

The triggers part is also downright wrong. Check the technical document on scaling to 1,000,000 live queries.

Discussions about the scalability and tradeoffs of WAL, Triggers, and the decided implementation (interval-based polling) are given:

https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/blob/master/archite...

"We experimented with several methods of capturing events from the underlying Postgres database to decide when to refetch queries."

"Listen/Notify: Requires instrumenting all tables with triggers, events consumed by consumer (the web-server) might be dropped in case of the consumer restarting or a network disruption."

"WAL: Reliable stream, but LR slots are expensive which makes horizontal scaling hard, and are often not available on managed database vendors. Heavy write loads can pollute the WAL and will need throttling at the application layer."

"After these experiments, we’ve currently fallen back to interval based polling to refetch queries. So instead of refetching when there is an appropriate event, we refetch the query based on a time interval. There were two major reasons for doing this:..."
They’re not allowed to take tips and are paid garbage wages. Don’t get too excited.
What I was trying to say is that I was anticipating having to write and maintain a bunch of glue between firebase and these tools and maybe eventually outgrowing this glue.

A benefit of using a traditional SQL database is much of this stuff exists already off the shelf.

Maybe Firebase is there or is getting there. It's almost two years since I built something on it.
No company has a monopoly on speech. Especially not twitter of all places...
>I've always liked the idea of having a Twitter clone that bases their philosophy on the 1st amendment, but in reality, all it did was to attract the polar opposite of the /r/politics subreddit (to put it lightly)

Well, a few other crowds did move to it but were quickly banned under the argument that their speech did not count as speech and thus wasn't protected. I remember it being quite a humorous (ironic?) twist for a company claiming to champion free speech.
I agree, I've actually found that Walmart has been the best online grocery experience. My local supermarket is Ok but HyVee has been wildly inconsistent.
There are other options, we have Peapod in my area. It’s the same stuff in grocery stores but from the warehouse. This pandemic has them overburdened and I can’t seem to find a delivery time. I tried Instacart once and the shopper was great but with so many things being out of stock I end up having to go out anyway. That plus the markup on all the items (the receipt was $20 less than what Instacart charged me, not including fees and delivery and tip).
Cute, but you could also just include the eicar text: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EICAR_test_file
I'm not who you were replying to but I think what people typically mean is instead of just being told X is true you help people come to the conclusion that X is true. One of the best way to do that is to understand both sides of an issue and come to the conclusion that one side is correct. Not only does it cause people to understand why they believe something but it causes them to understand why people on the opposite side of this topic believes what they do.

Many people are guilty of not actually understanding why people believe what they do. They will read arguments by people on their side but won't read the best arguments made by the opposite side. They will instead read the arguments by either people who make crappy arguments or by people on their own side explaining the opposition's view. This typically results in awful, often strawmen arguments for the opponent's views.

If teachers could set up debates between students on topics I think it would be good. Ideally, the student should disagree with the side they are supposed to defend, though isn't always possible. This will force them to look up the views held by the other side. The teacher should understand the best arguments on both sides and should step in when arguments are being made incorrectly or when a student misses a good response.

This of course would often times not work well because teachers don't understand their opponent's views so I am not sure how to actually handle this. You could possibly have a teacher with a different view help moderate the debate, but there is a disproportionate amount of teachers who are liberal (I've seen some studies that put it at over 80%) so it would not always be practical.

This doesn't always work on every topic like math, but it could be helpful in both English (for meaning behind books, poems, etc) and various history topics.

I am sure there are additional ways to help students learn critical thinking but this could be a good way if teachers are actually able to present both sides in a fair way.
Yep. CLIs often also have a predictable interface. (Help is almost always -h or --help, version info is -v or --version, etc).
On a GUI you'll have to play around a bit more and search for functionality.
Effect of batch size on neural net training
> They're about sedition, secession, national security, terrorism, etc. We have laws about those things too in the US.

This is usually the reasoning for the CCP supporters that other countries have similar laws. That is true but this is not a similar comparison when you are talking about a democratic society where there are checks and balances like judicial independence.

The CCP has a track record to remove and silence its oppositions.[1] The proposed law will give the government even more power since it carries severe penalties and were used in the mainland to jail dissidents.[2]

> So is this actually an argument about the influence / authority of China and the extent of their power, or about the specific laws being passed?

Prior to this, HK carried over the British colony tradition of independence of judiciary, albeit slowing eroding since 1997. But if the bill is passed, it will be the first time that the Chinese government bypass the HK government to directly legislate. Hence the reaction from HK + the world

No doubt. Even if we increased the pay or found another way to attract people as deliverers, grocery stores need to solve inventory and order picking. They won't keep delivery customers when they can't fulfill 40% of items that a customer requests for delivery. For anything they can fulfill, people picking orders need to understand acceptable substitutions without having to be trained by the customer like an ML system.

My family used grocery delivery for 5 years with a lot of satisfaction. We had two people picking and delivering. One of the two people was a former chef and the other grew up on a family farm. They selected produce and made substitutions on an expert level with little feedback from us. We paid $5 for delivery and they never accepted tips.
Isn't that just the EXAMPLES section of a man page?
> I don't believe you would be able to make a "sincere religious conviction" argument against it

People have used sincere religious arguments against interracial relationships for decades if not centuries. The reason it's not invoked now is because we've had a couple generations where the law of the land was obviously morally superior to the scriptures, to the point it's not seriously debated anymore.
Probably worth mentioning that if you're looking for "all this and more", try out Tinderbox (https://www.eastgate.com/Tinderbox/) too.

- local storage

- notes can be "namespaces" within documents

- "zip links" that are the equivalent of the `[[...]]` style common to both Obsidian and Roam, showing Inbound, Outbound and "suggested" links, for each note

- ad-hoc linking between notes on top of all this

- switching between "plain notes" and a Map view, or an Outline view, or a Timeline view

- viewing the resulting graph in different ways, auto-arranging it, etc.

- Ad-hoc "decorators" (colors, labels, tags, icons) for notes

- Ad-hoc "backgrounds" on all or portion of the graph view

- Ad-hoc "note queries" (that allow you to collect notes matching certain metadata, having certain text etc)

- ... and more that I haven't found time to use yet :-)

> Just because there's not a Works Cited list attached to a Vox interview doesn't mean it's just made up.

For all I know it is just made up. Maybe if media companies got in a better habit of providing citations they'd be more trustworthy.

> If farmers don't use composting, then they have to buy some other source of organic material and fertilizer to grow the next year's crops.

Which, from what I've seen first-hand growing up in the rural Central Valley (and what I continue to see first-hand in other rural areas) is exactly what's happening. Those crops ain't being composted with any sort of regularity (I'm sure some of it might be, since store-bought compost has to come from somewhere, but I'm highly skeptical of the idea that the farms themselves are doing it).

The nugget of truth in the article is that they ain't getting "thrown away", either. Rather, they're typically getting sold to companies using them for raw ingredients on a more industrial scale (think canneries and baked-goods factories and TV dinner makers and such) and/or (more recently) companies that specifically market "ugly produce", and whatever's left over from that often ends up being animal food (whether through manufacture - e.g. dog/cat food - or fed directly to e.g. livestock).

It really depends on your network connection. If it is fast fetching a small HTML page is nearly instant, if it
s not then it will be noticeable compared to locally cached data.

Now you don't need to do it as complex as Gatsby does, you could literally just GET the HTML file and throw away the result so that it is in the cache.
I always imagined ChrisLMB looked at his hostname and was making a joke :)
Totally, I already do that. Would be interesting to be able to install sgillen.package separately from package, with just a flag passed to pip.
> GUIs are deeply nested. And context sensitive so it may not even be possible to see actions until certain condition is met.

This is a feature, not a bug.

For me, browsing 20 pages of --help or man is a discoverability nightmare. I don't want to wade through arcane option after arcane argument.

The GUI gives me a well-organized top-level understanding of the program: organized menus, and organized panes (panels/palettes/tabs/etc.). Then I can drill deeper into dialog boxes and tool settings as needed.

It's far more efficient to quickly browse a GUI to figure out the lay of the land, than it is to wade through what is essentially the reference manual of a CLI tool.

Reference manuals are the opposite of discoverability.

Thanks for these. Looks like Esterel commonly compiles to C and I would imagine uses some features of pthreads along with task-based scheduling as you mentioned.

>I hope they get smacked down for it in the upcoming anti-trust lawsuit.

I wonder if the outcome of the lawsuit will be a grab bag of concessions, such as abandoning AMP, and, say, adding the ability to fully delete Google Apps from Android rather than doing a mere factory reset, making opt-out of interest based ads easier, and things of that nature.
I don't think so, because immunity would not be revoked across-the-board, but rather it would be conditional on their censorship policies. I think these companies would rather deal with the consequences of unsavory-but-legal content, than hire an army of moderators and still get sued every other day.
Design by Contract to Improve Software Vigilance
I bought about a dozen GE LED bulbs a couple of years ago due to the quality of their light. Sadly, in that short amount of time about 75% of them have either outright failed or developed some other condition that made me question their safety.
I think there are many different reasons why this happens. For me, Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome is a pretty ideal match to what happens for me naturally, which is to say that my body seems to be on a ~26 hour cycle. The WFH situation has not made a difference for me being able to keep a schedule that works better for me because: meetings.
This was exactly my experience. Last week I suddenly needed a toiler plunger in the middle of the work day. I can't leave to go Target to get that, so I ordered it online. There is a $30 minimum you can spend to get it delivered (doesn't include service fee, tip, charges etc). I said fine and got duct tape and aluminum foil as well. It was the most expensive shopping I did since forever. A toilet plunger, bunch of duct tape, aluminum foil all added up to $50 including fee, tip etc. Thanks but no thanks. I'm not cheaping out on anything but I'm not gonna pay $50 for something I can pay $15-$20 on Amazon or in the shop.
I subscribed to HBO Max for $11 and just see they don't have a Roku app (the most popular streaming platform)??
Defacing the state flag with a Nazi swastika is disgusting.

Native tribes here used swastika-like designs and patterns for generations, before there was a Nazi Party.

So not only perverting an older culture, but then trying to use it to intimidate and divide a community in a world of hurt right now.

Yuck.

EDIT:
But. The image is of a white man holding a sign, protesting the pandemic lockdown by invoking concentration camps. Standing in front of a New Mexico flag defaced to turn the Zuni symbol into a swastika.

It's supposed to be a terrifying image. But

The white protestor isn't moving against other people in the image. I think. The message is that lockdowns is an unprecedented move by government, an exercise of state force against its own citizens at home. That's deeply scary to white guys who don't have to worry about such state violence, pre-virus.
That's interesting.

I'm imagining a version that runs as a daemon, watching the folder containing all the notes. It then looks for files that have been modified, and are not currently edited (.swp files for vim, for example), and runs an update.

I think I'd prefer something running in the browser, though that is of course not ideal for several reasons...
Ha!

Companies do not have the power to throw people in jail or legally kill with a military.
I just came to despise Google search five minutes ago, when I tried to search for "SpaceX launch" and it did not give link to the official NASA live streaming page, even after I added "NASA" search term. NASA's website was not even on the first page. Mostly various news agencies like New Yorker, WaPo or NYT.
I like hating on Amazon as much as the next guy but if you hire 175,000 people some of them will get COVID-19 and die just by chance. Is there any evidence to suggest that Amazon workers are actually more likely to die than people that don't work at Amazon?

You're describing what Peapod always was for me, for the three years I had it. I'd still be using it if they hadn't stopped delivering here; they spoiled me to the point I'm not even going to try Instacart/etc.

The one exception was that you couldn't choose your own substitutions, but you could toggle whether to get the substitute or just not get that item (so at least you don't waste food if it's something you really don't want).
I've ordered items from Starbucks and when I walk in to get the order they state that the item is not in stock.

The ability for grocers to know exactly what is in stock and what isn't in realtime isn't something they are designed to do and isn't a trivial ask.
It's interesting watching discussions about this from the UK. The last stat I can find was that around 25% of people do some or all of their grocery shopping online. Most of the time it works really well.

Here, most of the supermarkets now do their online fullfillment from warehouses, not the shop floor, using purpose built delivery vehicals. One, Ocado (who are doing amazing tech work with robots and planning) are entirely online, while also whitelabelling their logistics for another supermarket.

On the whole the quality is perfect, it's not "bottom of the barrel", fruit is fresh, things tend to have long dates on them. While you do get substitutions from time to time, they seem to have got rarer as they have got better at predicting demand.

The main downside for my wife, who insists on shopping in person, is that you don't get the really good deals on stuff, as it's always on the short-dated stuff they want to get off the shelves.
Mmm citation needed here.

Those are different things than what most people talking about iOS privacy mean by “privacy.”

The thing people usually mean by privacy is “security of personal data and metadata”—i.e. being able to use your phone to break the (perhaps unjust) law, without a state actor being able to then prove you broke the law by forensically analyzing your phone.

Phones already leak a lot of circumstantial forensic evidence just by being phones. They talk to cell towers, for instance. So there’s a certain level of information leakage you’re accepting by doing something private on a phone in the first place.

The point of choosing one phone over another, for its privacy, should be to secure the phone in all the other ways—to prevent any information from leaking that can be prevented from leaking while retaining the functionality of the phone.

In that regard, iOS is usually considered the winner.

(Also, iOS is frequently considered the winner just by the fact that Apple devices can’t be interfered with by OEMs at the behest of state actors; in est, the OEM is always Apple, and so the only applicable state actor is the US. If I’m e.g. a Canadian diplomat in China and my phone breaks, I’m not going to trust a Chinese-OEM Android phone, but I might be able to trust a phone I send a plainclothes gofer to buy me from a Chinese Apple Store.)
> All of that sounds sub-linear to me.

All of the things I mentioned are things that you can get away without but eventually scale forces you to tackle. Each of those things brings with it additional cost without increasing the throughput.

This shouldn't be too novel an idea: consider a normal supply curve: cost per unit tends to go up with volume.
Plugging up the China gateway, also kills the billions of dollars in profits, that American companies make in China.

Look it up. Qualcomm now makes over 60% of their revenue from China! Just in Intellectual Property royalties alone.

Boeing, Coke, KFC, Microsoft, Apple, AMD, Intel, nVidia, Ford, GM, Starbucks, and on and on.. All American companies.

These companies depend on China, to make the cream of their profits, so they can pump that back into new research, to keep their edge.

Say goodbye to all those sweet juicy dollars.
Firstly, thank you!

"I'm surprised I've never heard of this."

It is only a couple months old, so not many people have heard of it yet, but I have been trying to make an effort to share it more vs. just staying behind the computer and adding features. It did get a nice bump recently when Brendan Eich tweeted out a link to it. That was a really cool surprise.

"Runnaroo, however, has my GitHub profile as the first hit..."

We can't read his mind but we can generate a fairly accurate model based on what he says. He has openly admired the powers of tyrants in multiple countries, and hinted that he would like to continue to be president after his term completes. Based on my read of his text, it seems like he sincerely believes things like "Kim Jong Un is a good guy and he deserves to continue running North Korea".

Of course no social media company will be shut down over this- Trump has absolutely zero power in this regard (I think half of Trump's frustration is in realizing how little power a president truly has).

Anyway, he doesn't think he is a king. He thinks he is an emperor.
