It's amazing how much a technique like rubber ducking[1] helps to work through issues. The number of times I've felt like I have no idea how to solve a problem until the moment after I ask someone else is incredible. I think the act of thinking how to explain the problem to someone else really helps trigger the problem solving side of the brain. That and the number of times taking a 10 minute walk has been more productive than hours of debugging time is frankly mind boggling.

It would be different (and fine) if Twitter replied to his tweets with their rejoinders, posting on a level playing field with everyone else. They didn't do that. They abused their position as controllers of the site to insert their opinion into his posts.

Twitter stepped beyond the bounds of being a neutral platform with moderation. They took up the mantle of editor and began editing people's posts. This should disqualify their safe harbour protections under the Communications Decency Act. This has nothing to do with the first amendment.

Check out the poetry it generated in Figure F.1 (especially poem 4). I don't know how many bad poems the authors had to sort through to find these, but this AI is generating real poetry. If I didn't know they were computer generated I doubt I would have even considered that they didn't come from a human. This is a huge accomplishment and the team that created GPT-3 should be proud.
This isn't true. Both Bush and Obama were criticized for them (probably other Presidents as well, I just wasn't following politics before then). But that's not what your original statement said:

> And you can thank the previous guy in charge for setting this precedent, that you can do whatever you want via Executive Order.

That statement is just pure bias, not fact.

Thanks for taking a look. It connects to the SQLite database iMessage uses internally and performs some queries on it to filter message rows. To do so it asks the user to grant it permission to that directory and then uses Security-Scoped Bookmarks (https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Se...) to maintain access to that directory.
This (almost) exact scenario played out in Marsh v. Alabama (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_v._Alabama). If the town is, for all intents and purposes, acting like a traditional town, and with the public having access to it, first amendment rights hold.

Hey, it worked for Ed Bernays.

You can in Node, because Node bridges the whole platform standard library by default. Deno does the opposite: you have to opt programs into the platform capabilities you want to give them.

This is a very unsolved problem. It doesn't take much foresight to anticipate a Library of Alexandria v2.0 around the corner.

Certainly, we can and should individually archive what's important to us, but more generally (archiving information for the next 1000 years say), I dunno. I hope someone will figure it out.
It doesn't sound like it's an improvement at all, but instead requires less training data to produce worse results?

They claim the completions are "uncurated" which I would assume means that they didn't sort through any of them, and these were just off the top. That seems pretty impressive, so I wouldn't be surprised if I was incorrect.

You keep ignoring both how to audit NNs and how to address behavior not in code. Have you read the paper yet? Explain how audits work in light of the paper.

Without answering those you’re simply wasting time and effort by claiming audits can find things they cannot.

I quite doubt you work in security from your inability to grasp these things. Please demonstrate you’re not lying. Your posting history shows a tendency to be a conspiracy believer, and there’s zero evidence you do anything professionally in security, unlike the history of those I know that do work in security.

Others have noted Deno has good protections around this, but I would add that it has those because running a package from NPM is in and of itself just executing code from a random URL, and that has caused plenty of problems in the past.

Not sure which bit in particular, but the YouTube response says what I was trying to say - you need to demonstrate that something was legally questionable before they will comply and identify a user.

With my forum, I ask the disgruntled user to have their lawyer contact me as a form of pre-action discovery. That weeds out the ones complaining without a leg to stand on and gives me a little bit of protection. The timestamp and IP address (at least with Australian ISPs) is rarely a slamdunk, and it pushes the real judgement on ISPs who have established systems, and police.

BTW, this is just incredible: "An Economist/YouGov poll in late December 2016 found that 46 percent of Trump voters and 17 percent of Clinton voters thought Pizzagate was real."
...the end of the very quote you replied to under three hours ago and your direct, blanket assertion that the entirety of the described allegations are, quote, “well within the bounds of mainstream debate” and “nothing wild”? Including the personal attack on a complete random at Twitter? Who, by the way, got death threats because one dude trolled Twitter employees on LinkedIn, found a job title close enough to “guy who runs fact checking,” and put his name and resume all over conservative media then said “gee willikers, Norma, inciting a mob online makes people read about their children being murdered before their eyes? I had no idea. Gosh, when has that ever happened before?”

No? Nothing? Not a clue? That’s not ringing any bells whatsoever? I read someone else’s comment?

k.
Though "when" the object is created isn't always so straightforward:

>>> x = 257
>>> y = 257
>>> x is y
False
>>> def f():
... x = 257
... y = 257
... return x is y
...
>>> f()
True

The lesson being that `is` is essentially meaningless for immutable objects, and to always use `==`.
That is interesting as I never would have thought those would be in the scope of what managers did (especially the career goals as that means helping people leave).

I was under the impression that the less your manager needs to deal with you, the better you are doing.

> you're probably still leaving value on the table by not meeting more regularly.

I read somewhere that people in recent history have begun to mouth breath heavily compared to folks living before the industrial revolution.

A drier mouth has to impact the biome in your mouth I would presume, for better or worse.

Mouth breathing could have a lot of other disadvantages, such as sleep apnea, as mentioned in the article.

Mouth breathing obviously doesn’t cause teeth crowding but I’m wondering how significant factor it is in overall dental health.
The way it works is that the President's party gets 2 appointees and the opposition gets 1. Starks is the dem choice.
I see it slightly differently. In my subordinates, I want confidence that they'll consistently make decisions that they believe are in the best long-term interests of the company. If they consistently do that, I can work on anything else (including making sure I help them better understand the long-term interests as I understand them).

That will often mean "would make the same choice I would", but I'm happy if they merely use the same rubric.
> Hypothesis is pretty smart to find edge cases that you usually don't think of.

This is worth reemphasizing.

For certain kinds of hard problems, I've found it really valuable for building confidence in an implementation.

If you happen to have a reference implementation, with a small surface API, it can be a very fast way to write tests: tell hypothesis to input anything it wants and validate that both libraries produce the same result. It's not magic, you will probably still have to give hints about how to build interesting inputs, but still a very quick way to get a lot of coverage. (Also be sure to crank up the number of examples to build more confidence, 100 is often not enough to really explore an input space).
> It’s unconstitutional because the president can’t decide to change a law.

True, but it's within the executive branch's purview to... interpret the law a bit, as they execute it. Of course, then it's on the judicial branch to determine whether or not that was okay.

> In a sense, the president is declaring Twitter and Facebook to be “public utilities,”

This is actually one of the most interesting parts of this, though it definitely will be tested by the judicial branch here. Trump has decided Twitter constitutes the modern equivalent of the "public square", where people are entitled to speak freely. ...Apart from the fact that it's corporately owned, I'd totally agree that that's true: Modern free speech has moved entirely to media (TV, Internet, Radio, etc.) which are all owned by corporations.

Now, where that gets interesting is that the government is required to allow you to speak freely... corporations aren't, according to current interpretations of the Constitution. The Supreme Court, however, has vastly expanded the application of the Bill of Rights before though. It's presumably possible that a future court could decide that social media companies must allow people their town square.
I've been skimming the arguments so I might have missed something big, but isn't the key distinction that Deno can take anything from a URL? Go's "go get" is backed by version control systems, but you could freely point your deno at "http://dangerous.com/evil.ts". I thought the concern was about the potentially problematic flexibility.

Hey everyone, this past month I built the website RateMyDorm.com - think RateMyProfessors but for dorms. You can read reviews from other students and filter through dorms based on rating, amenities, or class year.
When I was a freshmen at Boston U, I wondered why there was no resource to read dorm reviews. Thanks to quarantine, I finally got around developing it and I'm hoping this can grow to a platform that will be helpful to college students everywhere. If you can help contribute, please check out the site and rate a dorm you've lived in! Thanks.
Sadly this is mostly a rant about companies not testing on Windows and doesn’t contain any technical details about the bugs he’s talking about.
There's part old subjective rant part truth in this; I've listened to countless hours of any genre of music [0] and this generation fails to appeal to any part of my brain most of the time it's flabbergasting. Every time I hear something that makes me feel 'yeah.. finally' turns out it was some old tune I just didn't know about. There's no feel, no harmonic subtlety, no grit .. I think the pop ethos of music died a few years ago, it doesn't represent something sacred for society, it feels like a commodity.

A key differentiator is if the new platform is used a lot by a small number of people, or used a little by a lot of people.

I found that statement ambiguous as well. For a while I wondered if he meant to imply either of those cases can be a differentiator.
Yes, but it's unlikely to link in a userspace library. This does prevent adapting code from OpenSSL to put in the kernel, but there are plenty of other sources to adapt code from.

There are a few other notable codebases that are GPLv2-only, but most projects using the GPL use either "v2 or later" or "v3 or later".
On allaboutberlin.com, I serve Google Fonts locally. Aside from the benefits mentioned in the article, it also makes HTTP2 server push possible. This means the font is pushed along with the page, without first having to parse the HTML and the CSS. It's significantly faster. There are fewer server round trips.

The website loads from start to finish in 200ms on my end (in Berlin of course). At this point, DNS and server distancs are bigger issues than what's on the page. I find the call for system fonts rather funny, because it's such a pointless sacrifice.

Another significant benefit is privacy. I don't like sending visitor information to third parties. I removed Google Fonts requests, and I'm working on removing Analytics. Once this is done, there won't be any third party requests on the page.
This is not a Trump tantrum. The issues are real. As we speak, courts across the country are using Zoom for hearings.

Would there be any legal impediment to Zoom automatically inserting a caption on YOUR video feed that says "jwalgenbach is a liar"?

If you were to complain, would we be justified in saying "it's just another jwaldenbach tantrum..."

Would it be right to simply say, "if jwaldenbach doesn't like Zoom's polices, he doesn't have to use it"?

What is Western Union added a 'fact check' to your telegrams? What if Google inserts a 'fact check' in your emails?

These issues are not trivial, and viewing them through a partisan lens is naive and immature.

I love this. The code is simple and documented. However, whenever I’ve tried to understand autograd, I get stuck at dual numbers.

As a programmer, I understand building up a computation graph where each node is some sort of an elementary function which knows how to take its own gradient. So a constant/scalar node has derivative/gradient of zero, x^n has derivative of nx^(n-1), etc. these gradients are passed from the end to the beginning according to the chain rule, etc., etc.

However, autograd is not supposed to be the symbolic differentiation we learned in high school.

This project doesn’t seem to have anything to do with duals...confused!

Twitter's first amendment rights would not be violated, if they were to be treated as a publisher.

This is not about forcing Twitter to do anything. It is instead about having them being treated as a publisher, if they act like one.
>Naturally it was only due to the current shortage of those mythical C developers that never make memory corruption mistakes.

the repetition of this cutesy line lately almost feels like there is some programming language astro-turfing campaign going on somewhere that I haven't become fully aware of yet.

i'm not saying that it's wrong -- safe languages producer safe(r) products -- but to be upset about the unsafe nature of C is, in my opinion, to be upset about the very thing that makes C a powerful language.

The host of foot-gun abstractions and abilities that come along with C are exactly the kinds of reasons why someone would choose C for a project in the first place : flexibility and a sort of 'freedom of expression' that is unmatched everywhere else except for maybe assembly language.
For me, I've always liked working in an office, but I've always hated, what should I call it - drama/politics/whatever?

I've worked in such wierd places over the years. For example, if you had an office of 100 people, 10 were on your team, I would probably not like 2 of the people on my team and 20 in the office.

Most of the time, this is not a problem. However, you get around people that you really like and tell a joke, or you just say something a bit freely - and all of a sudden, you now have people that don't like you. (The specific office situation I'm thinking of had an average of salary of $15k at the time - but our group probably had an average of $150k at the time).

It was tough. I don't think it was a good idea overall either. I've seen other situations like it as well.

I don't like working from at home. But I hate dealing with that kind of bullshit.
Well, there are helpful code / design review comments that can't be automated. I totally agree that if it's a tiny issue, just let it go. There's only so much feedback people can hear and actually respond to. But there are also helpful things to say.

This is a false equivalence - r/politics is not the left leaving equivalent of r/The_Donald. Trump supporters weren't broadly banned from political subreddits, just the ones that broke the rules did, like everyone else. r/politics is a left leaning echo chamber, yes, but you won't get banned for being pro Trump (just downvoted). On the other hand, you will get banned from r/The_Donald or r/conservative for being anti-Trump.

Just HTTP2 Server Pushing a smaller set of fonts will do the job. I have a website with 6 font variants that loads in 200ms. It loads even faster once the fonts are cached.
> Using standard fonts is how you achieve consistency.

If my web page downloads a font to a browser for that browser to use, every browser capable of downloading that font will use that font.

If my web page specifies a list of fonts that users may or may not have on their system, every browser may display a different font from that list (or even a font not from that list).

I suppose YMMV and all that, but I would say the first case is clearly giving a more consistent result than the second case. That doesn't make the second case "bad," per se, but on my system Hacker News is in Verdana and on different distributions of Linux it's in... shrug emoji? There's a Microsoft Core Fonts package floating around out there, but not everybody has it installed. And lately it's become fashionable to specify a font stack of "default system fonts," so Macs get San Francisco, Windows 7+ users get Segoe UI, etc. That's fine, and maybe it's exactly what you want... but don't call it "consistent."

I almost guarantee you have fonts on your system installed that you will not want me to use on a web page, and I can also almost guarantee you that there are a lot of pages out there that have "custom fonts" that are just fine. They're just fine! Nobody reads a web page set in Charter or Franklin Gothic or any other rational typeface for body text and screams in outrage at its illegibility.

Maybe there are designers out there who want to force terrible horrible no-good custom fonts down your throat because they want to make your reading experience worse. Maybe there are web pages set in Zapfino and Wingdings. I don't know. But when you say "custom fonts," I say "professional high-quality typeface that is consistent across all browsers." That's it. That's all I'm trying to give you.
