Three-reports-to-remove, along with moderator review for the removes, seems to be the golden standard for machine-aided moderation since the days of AOL.

The downside of it is that by the time you have 3 downvotes/reports, at least 3 people have already been exposed to the content. It might not seem like a lot, but that's 3 people who had to read something unpleasant, hurtful, or just a plain old waste of time on your resource.

Minimum 3 readers, usually many more, because people rarely report things, per spam/troll adds up fast.
A Reddit video shows a "hKtweaks was granted Superuser rights" message immediately following loading the screenshot, so it seems like maybe someone stumbled into an RCE for some image processer that is actively being exploited and trying to elevate privileges? Maybe the guy who took the video is using a custom ROM?

Ryle’s use of the term “theory,” which Naur adopts here, is a bit counter-intuitive; it’s really referring to a kind of operational knowledge.

One of Ryle’s central points is that there’s a categorical difference between being able to perform a skill yourself and knowing facts about how that skill is performed. Books, language, and observing other practitioners can only provide the latter kind of knowledge, but the former is what’s actually valuable.

Learning how to do something can only be achieved through practice. This practice can be guided and improved by rote learning, but cannot be replaced by it. Also, no two practitioners approach a skill in exactly the same way: As only rote knowledge can be transferred between people, each person builds their own structure of operational knowledge based on their particular experiences.

Naur’s argument here, then, is that this operational knowledge is dominated not by knowledge of building software in general, but instead by the understanding of how a particular piece of software functions internally and interacts with external factors. These external factors are both concrete, like protocol specifications, and abstract, like the competitive landscape the company is operating in.

Further, Naur argues that the primary value in developing a piece of software isn’t the software itself, but the expertise that the programming team had to develop in order to produce it. In this view, dismissing the programmers and keeping the software is a grave mistake that will surface when one of the external factors changes and there is noone qualified to update the software.
The Shuttle was never designed to support Lunar missions so that's a red herring.

It was designed to recover satellites and bring them back to Earth safely as part of its military mission. Nothing Space X is offering has such a capability.

You're butting your head against the fundamental paradox of communication: in order to communicate an idea that's in your head to somebody else, you have to encode it in a way that the other person will recognise and decode; that is, you need to already have some shared context. However, if you have a new idea then by definition it can't be part of the shared context, so it can't be communicated.

We get around this by invoking combinations of existing ideas and hoping that the recipient puts them together in more or less the right way: we might say "a leopard sits in the tree to your left", invoking the existing ideas "leopard", "tree", "to your left" and "sits", which can be combined in the obvious way. UML, musical notation, mathematics... all these are variations on "language" in the sense that they have a vocabulary of existing ideas, and a grammar of natural ways to combine them, and so you can bootstrap ideas in another person's brain by giving them pieces they already know and hoping they can assemble the idea correctly.

Language is messy and non-portable and unreliable, and it is exactly those properties which allow it to convey novel ideas from one person to another.
Who cares where the line is? It shouldn't exist.

I actually had read his post. He's very justifiably upset about the lack of credit for AppGet and also the terrible communication, which I mentioned. I thought it was a well-written post.

But the linked Verge article frames it in terms of the copying being the problem, rather than the credit, even calling it Sherlocking. It's not.
This should be a feature of password managers, or at least password managers that have a separate item type for wireless networks.

Someone suggested it on the 1Password forums [1] and one of their employees said it it was a great idea and would pass it to the development team, but that was in September, 2017, so apparently it didn't go anywhere.

About 18 months ago, someone suggested it on /r/1password [2], and again someone from 1Password liked it and said they would pass it on to the devs.

The editor could show both the final line number and "sub-line-numbers" after a decimal point or something. E.g.:

1 /* A function that does something */
2.1 int do_something(int foo,
2.2 int bar,
2.3 int baz)
2.4 {
2.5 return foo + bar + bam;
2.6 }

Which would condense to:

1 /* A function that does something */
2 int do_something(int foo, int bar, int baz) { return foo + bar + bam; }

When you try to compile this, the compiler will complain about line 2, which you know from your editor's line numbering encompasses lines 2.1 through 2.6. As an alternate strategy, you could use column numbers instead of sequential sub-lines, like so:

1 /* A function that does something */
2.0 int do_something(int foo,
2.26 int bar,
2.35 int baz)
2.44 {
2.46 return foo + bar + bam;
2.70 }

And then, if the compiler reports a column number or offset into the line, you'll immediately know "well the compiler's complaining about line 2 column 65, which is between 2.46 and 2.70... golly gee willikers, I fat-fingered the third addend in the return statement!".

You could get even more abstract than this, with "line numbers" instead being local to a given scope, and the compiler reporting erroneous line numbers relative to said scope. If the compiler tells you that the syntax error is in the first (in this case also last) statement in the function do_something, then it should be apparent where to look.
An Appeal to Those on the Center Right Regarding the Protests and Unrest
Yeah they're still used. When approaching a new problem I reach for linear methods first if it seems like they could work. DNNs are amazing, but can be very heavy handed and use significantly more resources, which isn't desirable unless needed or one is working with a complex problem.

I've even used DNNs when I couldn't make SVMs work, but someone more experienced came along and showed me a kernel method that for the trick with an SVM.

In short, it's a great tool if it works.

As proven by the lack of progress, that invitation has just political value, it allows posts like yours when these discussions take place.

For example, while Valhalla has taken several years so far, OpenJDK team has experimental builds that you can go and play around with value types in Java.

Where are the experimental builds for generics support in Go?
Regarding 4, it's a private website. I don't think freedom of speech applies. If you have some sources that say otherwise I'd be interested to read them.
Haha, my first thought as well. Went ahead and just starred the Github page and I'll run it locally if I ever care to use it.
Say there is some actual adaptive advantage like upper body strength. Genes that cause greater upper body strength tend to survive, and because of this genes in the opposite sex that can detect upper body strength in a potential mate tend to survive. The population of individuals of the opposite sex, tend towards a preference for upper body strength.

What is the limit? Well the answer is very little, while more upper body strength may have little additional value above some level there is no environmental influence that selects against it until it becomes so pronounced as to become an impairment. If there are mutations in genes of the opposite sex that prefer evidence of upper body strength it is unlikely they will be removed, while genes that disregard upper body strength will occasionally fail to distinguish good quality mates and will therefore become less prevalent. Further, the appearance of upper body strength may become so preferred that fake upper body strength is also a more successful trait at least to the degree that it doesn't impair survivability.

Because of all of this, sexual selection is a mechanism in which a small astatic for actual survivability traits becomes a large exaggeration of traits that suggest survivability but may or may not actually improve survivability.

In the case of the peacock tail, and birds in general it probably stems from the fact that sick birds often have dirty tails, therefor females that prefer male birds with not dirty tails (or better) are selected for.
The problem is that like with JavaScript in the browser, some of us do have to put up with Go when dealing with k8s, even if we rather not.

Secondly, I also kind of like Go, just see it as lost opportunity to have been with little more than a C like type system, even C has some genericity support in the meantime.

And whatever gets out of it, will be rather clunky as proven by late adoption in Java.

I hope that with sculpture and large scale installation art there aren't as many people who say "I could have done that." The job is more engineering than art, coming up with materials that can say, drape over a building with sharp projecting features but also be light enough not to pull down the structure itself, etc. Large sculpture even more so.
You should definitely consider it, I am a graduate from the same program :)
I don't think it does? They mention "credit" at least 4 times in the article ("copy" comes up 3 times) and they're very clear that the issue is credit ("The announcement was especially bad given how little credit was given", "Beigi is mostly unhappy with how Microsoft didn’t credit him for his work", etc.). I'm not sure how you read it to imply the crime is in the copying?

This is actually a rather good article, considering the nightmare it could be.
I am just not convinced that an O(n) visual scan over the keyboard is that useful. What programs really need is a good "search" function for commands. Obviously scanning over an entire toolbar is useless, but if you can search named commands and the application shows you where in the menu the command is and what its shortcut is, then that would be better than a keyboard that just puts toolbar icons on the keys.

(I have used variants of this feature in many applications and love it. There are a bunch of functions in Fusion 360 whose name I know, but not where in the menus it is. But they have a search-and-invoke UI, so I can run them. I do wish it would show me where in the menus they are, though, because after the first couple times it sure is inefficient.)
Strengthening a currency seems good in the short term, but local growth comes from (a) increasing exports, and (b) substituting imports, both of which get hosed by too strong a currency.

I have bitter first-hand experience of the consequences of leaving dangerous laws on the books: e.g. shooting looters with FMJ ammunition "that everyone known isn't going to be used".

If you REALLY don't want the military shooting looters, then at least take the effort to get the laws changed. You can multi-task. Phone AOC.

I just mean being fully in the facade of making all the expressions, gestures, and small talk stuff. Basically acting "normal" as much as I can. It's a lot of work, and it feels very fake.

How to Talk About Software at Scale

Chrome has effectively a 1 frame latency. First the event fires for a keypress, and later the compositor decides it's time for a new frame, which will include the effects of that keypress.
I'm only converting rules that are just a host whitelist. I ignore rules that are more complex, since those don't translate.
The point is to use low-end machines for a number of logic that 99% will do nothing. As example: webhooks.
In this scenario there is no need for high performance/low latency but there is a high demand of low resource usage.
However there's a way to scale it horizontally using shared storage. But it should out of scope.

Btw I am author of it and I will be happy to answer on any questions. Thanks for your interest!
LabView? Lol. That's the cheapest SW for this kind, usually used only in countries which cannot afford or is not allowed to use the industry standard simulation SW. Like Iran or North Korea.

The rest looks good, similar to the architecture used in the shuttle program (3 redundant dSpace realtime Linux boxes).

Asking the Right “Why” Questions
+1 to everyone who recommended double majoring. CS is a problem solving tool, so having domain specific knowledge in any other field will be super useful, assuming that you’re actually interested in said field. Alternatively, double major in computer engineering — many classes will overlap and you can probably finish both in 4 years while having a much deeper understanding of what makes computers tick.

Also I haven’t seen this mentioned, but take advantage of the large number of resources at your disposal: labs, software, courses/seminars, office hours. It wasn’t until I graduated that I realized I missed out on many learning and experimentation opportunities.
I would be happy if this was their first attempt, sadly I have lost count how many times the team has published such studies with zero outcomes.

While I am sure Java will get value types, it already has had several experimental releases and the features have been incrementally integrated, after the switch to 6 months release cadence, I am not so sure in regards to Go.

All we get is a source code repository full of comments showing how much is left to be done, if ever. Untouched since last August.

https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/187317
Most people already covered that it won't be easy and you should take a minor/second major in a non-related field.

But I'll add one more. Try to take a class from a famous professor outside CS. Usually they will teach a class that meets a gen Ed requirement.

I took a Poly Sci course from a famous professor at Berkeley, and it was great! It was like going to see a show twice a week. And some of the stuff he taught still sticks with me today. He predicted exactly what would happen in Iraq when Saddam was removed from power, six years before it happened.

My wife got to take Astronomy from a famous professor, and she really enjoyed that class too and learned a lot.
Exactly! Just adapted for a new reality. And I found it quite exciting to adapt old proven technology to a new stack

I agree entirely. Can we not blur out the faces of people who are looting (stealing), destroying property, defacing city and national sites and violently attacking people and store owners? This is super fucked.
Really? You don’t think that police could look in a window and tell? We aren’t talking about anecdotes. We have statistics.

The Story of Hertz Going Bust
This has simply not been the case in recent years in the US, where there has been a concentrated and deliberate attack on the truth exclusively from the right, just look at any analysis on the unprecedented number of false statements (dare I say lies) from Trump.

The whole argument also completely ignores the fact that pretty much everything of US politics is far right from the perspective of most other countries. So if the truth is in the middle, which middle is it?
So to summarize your assessment: you have no real problem with the state of police conduct in the U.S., and that these protests cause all the trouble.

I think the only way you would ever change your mind is if you went to one of these protests just to observe peacefully and respectfully, and then get caught up in a sweep. Experiential learning is powerful stuff.

Please bear in mind that this topic is not about denying rightful enforcement of law, it's the exact opposite: ensuring enforcement of the law is just and in the interests of all.
That quickly turned metaphysical. If company policy is neither enforced nor followed, is it really company policy? If so, "company policy" is just an abstract term that doesn't necessarily reflect the company in any way.

It really boils down to what I've already said. A company is its staff. What its staff does and accepts other staff doing is ultimately its policy. Anything else that they might have written down into a document that isn't enforced or followed is not company policy, but a way to compartmentalize responsibility and blame once its actual policies come under scrutiny
No, that's not what they meant. What they mean roughly is that if you were a college student who were interested in signing up for classes in psych, you probably already have some interest in it (and related things), and that interest is what helps you become better (at understanding human dynamics etC). It's not a causal link, just highly correlated.
Not 100% but I learned that it's bad form because "out" subsumes "over" so saying them together is redundant.

The problems with this hierarchy are:

In the worst case scenario, a bad design or implementation can be the equivalent of multiplying all effort by zero.

- It can cause you to be unable to demo a product to a customer, or offer them the product as a trial period, because the product simply doesn't work or is unusable.

- A bad implementation can make you waste all your funding in something you cannot monetize and leaving you without an exit strategy.

- A bad implementation can violate regulations and be effectively illegal.

- A bad implementation can make you lose clients and affect your company reputation, sometimes permanently. Even if you hire an army of customer support representatives to contain frustration, or offer refunds, gifts and discounts, the bleeding won't stop until you fix the implementation.

- A bad implementation can make it necessary to hire an army of engineers to implement a simple change, because all your engineers spend 99% of their time trying to keep the Jenga tower of spaghetti code they can't refactor running. They cannot refactor it because you told them that "how" is not important.

- A bad implementation and bad practices can frustrate your engineers and cause them to actually leave their job.

So, implementation is not only some abstract nerd problem about spaces vs tabs, it can be an HR problem, a financial problem, a reputation problem, a legal problem, etc.
