Well I think you can compare, but with caveat you have to compare amount of testing, and various other situations. I only see people who say "you can't compare" to be those who want to minimize their own problems. It's endemic to the US where multiple states have been caught reducing the numbers, firing the people who organize them and prohibiting them from talking about it.
You can put `<json` on the left no problem.

Both "self-modifying code" and "metaprogramming" don't mean exactly the same thing to me as "homoiconicity"

I mean, obviously they don't; that would be next to impossible, particularly with a phone camera. It's an approximation, but that doesn't make it useless.
Kinda funny, I guess.

This is one of those instances where I might care about the case Konnikova was making if she bothered using any quantitative methods to convince me the humanities were awash in quantitative study while qualitative analysis clearly went the way of the dodo. Or that literature programs were churning out students who think network analysis is the best way to understand a text.

In the purely-qualitative realm, it just comes off as pearl-clutching over something I don't think anyone actually believes?
Before they had stickers, people were complaining that it doesn't have stickers. Can't please 'em all.
It’s not like Microsoft’s culture was any better. There are stories of engineers sleeping under their desks during the browser wars. It’s a testament to JS that most don’t even remember Microsoft’s answer to it (Hint: it starts with a ‘J’ and ends in “script”)

Sometimes this is all you need. My co has a product which consists of of a sequence of static web views interrupted by a controllable full viewport video, and its in React... why? There's only one way "out of" each view (click a certain button)? Did we really need to compute a virtual DOM to figure out what to show next and how? On the other hand, we have a web product which replaces a desktop app which I couldn't imagine stringing up the view code without React.

Youre forgetting that study is optional and most of us have little to no interest in liberal arts and sciences.
I don't get your question. But that is a roadster, not an S or later. But it presumably doesn't mention intermediate capacitors because they don't use them.
"Season to taste" I totally agree with, no way to capture the whole world in a signel post ;)

> I agree that ultimately (and quickly) the bug needs to land with a single person, but the component matters in the routing step before that. Because you'll have frontline triage who can only vaguely figure out where the bug goes, second-line triage might get the team right, and then the team needs to decide where it goes.

I do agree it's about routing. My problem with components is alignment with teams and their stability over time and survival of existing tickets across those changes, which is why I think different routing mechanisms are better. But yeah, if it works...

> Same goes for priority - sometimes you do need it. That zero-day you're fixing is a "drop everything else" bug.

I’m all for experimentation in these days and ages. We’ll be able to document far-reaching changes (both good and bad). Sure, some communities and business sectors may dissolved due to such disruption but that’s the price of civilization and (d)evolving governance.

Adams and Shasta for me. Am hoping to get back to the PNW for volcano season next year to do some ski mountaineering. I love these mountains.
When you describe continental drift, it doesn’t make the plates go faster. When you do economics, it changes the economy. Social sciences have a worse reflexivity problem than the arts, because with art, nothing turns on whether it’s right or wrong. With social sciences, if your hypothesis is wrong but widely believed, you can still kick off seventy years of communism.
If you can do a double-blind controlled study, it's a science.
If all you are doing is writing API then you already don't need 50% of what Rails provides. If you are not into ORMs then you don't really need anything Rails provides at all.
My point is that verifying that the content doesn't change is by itself not enough. You also have to verify that it was secure to begin with, and that is much harder, especially for your typical end-user.

Wow, I don't remember the details but I did a thorough review of the state of FHE, as well as playing around with some implementations, ~5-7 years ago and this is orders of magnitude faster than what I would expect from that.

I see where they’re coming from, but wow this is tone deaf. I guess hispanic businesses are immune from COVID, and white businesses are privileged enough to run at a loss indefinitely?

Maybe they should just treat their drivers better. They’re essentially all economically vulnerable.

I'm excited, but my basic entry-level AUD$20k Toyota Hilux utility has a range of 600km and can carry 6metre long cargo on its ladder rack, and 1 tonne of payload in the tray.. These electric pickups are still very fancy expensive toys.
I think you and mikepurvis are both saying the same thing - that Tesla and other electric cars are using batteries only, not capacitors.

I will note that the homebuilt electric cars generally had much smaller battery packs, which could not supply the same peak currents that a 50+kWh battery would have.
That's called nuance. In the Twitter age we don't got time for that. It's non-stop outrage baby!
In homomorphic systems the server only sees the encrypted result. Since it can not decrypt it, it doesn't gain any information from it. And indeed the encryption is scrambled differently for each query, otherwise you could learn if two values are the same.
This is semi-unrelated, but indicative: I posted a bug about photos taken in landscape showing up as portrait (ie sideways) if the screen is locked, and it was closed as "we'd like to have this fixed at some point".

How is rotating photos properly not a priority for a messaging app? It's really annoying to have half your photos rotated sideways, and it screams "buggy app" to both participants of the conversation.

>I'm also, to be honest, somewhat baffled that your starting position seems to be that no criticism of Signal could possibly be valid, when attributing the other's viewpoint to fanboyism. Don't take that too seriously, it just stood out to me on reading. :)

Touche. That wasn't my position, but re-reading what I posted, I agree that's it unnecessarily implies that position. Part of me wants to correct that, but I think I'll own my words and leave it there.
I understand your sentiment but this isn't going to work. You cannot possibly curate the worlds information to the set you approve of as safe for other people. You will only drive this stuff underground and make people justifiably angry and suspicious about your motives. Much better to build up trust by being honest, reasonable and listening to people without patronizing. That still will not work 100% but it will work better than this patronizing nonsense.
That deserves a challenge. Many significant contributors to US GDP are long-standing (>100yo) firms. Ford (founded 1903), General Motors (1908), Walgreens (1901), McKesson (1833), IBM (1911), Kroger (1883), Boeing (1917), Wells Fargo (1852), General Electric (1890), Johnson & Johnson (1886), Phillips Petroleum (1917).

Or the large companies that are repackaged versions of much older companies, with lineage back to the 19th century. Exxon & Chevron, for example, trace back to Standard Oil (1870); AT&T and Verizon (from Bell, 1877), Dow/DuPont (1897 or 1802, take your pick), Citigroup (from Citicorp, 1812). Banking often goes further back: BofA (Massachusetts Bank, 1784), JPMorgan (Manhattan Company, 1799).

Moving cuts of the pie around is a shell game. For sure the US is less regulated than Europe, so labels change more often, but the old money doesn't.

No.

> “peer review”

I am not sure what you mean, and I don't know that much about Arch developer and Arch maintainer protocols; but the whole thing is more transparent than Debian: everything, including the PKGBUILDs and the rare patch is accessible through public git repos very accessibly and visibly linked from the web page of each Arch package. Debian also has public git repos AFAIK, but finding them and navigating the directory hierarchy is more difficult.
Signal is still open source and is not a commercial entity.
As already stated, it's not your fault,
and honestly the tip of the iceberg of this problem is that such illnesses are not even considered as such by society at large.

My eldest daughter, that is an incredible bright and intelligent person was just where you are early January this year with her partner.

I eventually got tired of telling people that he was sick, that he was not to blame for his actions. And even rationalizing this is very difficult to not feel otherwise.

Stay strong, seek company, don't blame yourself.
In addition to the reply below, I imagine there are some other less costly online services or cheeky ways to send money through PayPal, Amazon GiftCards, Western Union, Bitcoin, some other strange way that one can think of with credit cards or bank transfers.

If a service is really that useful, and the person behind it is already demonstrating to me that they're trustworthy, I will bend over backwards to jump through hoops to pay them.

Otherwise I wouldnt be buying in the first place :)
If you reduce the humanities to what is quantifiable, you kill them. (You also kill humanity.)

[Edit: After re-reading, I'm not sure the parent thinks that numbers should take over the humanities, so my comment may be misdirected. I'm leaving it anyway, because I think the point is valid, even if it doesn't address the parent's point.]
You can now select any emoji for a reaction in the version that was just released (at least on Android).
The Signal team has always been open about the reason why they reject third-party clients: they claim that XMPP adoption was hindered by the inability of a user’s software to know if the software on the other end supports the same feature set. XMPP had grown into a large set of features that some clients supported and others did not.

If Signal introduces a new feature, it knows that all users’ devices will support that feature, because its own software is the only game in town.
science = hypothesis; prediction; test prediction; observe. thats it. so a lot of "science" actually isnt science either...

By this logic quantum physics is also not scientific.
Try to learn more about industries that sound interesting to you, and meet people from those industries to learn what they do. Speaking with lots of different people and learning about what they do will probably help you figure out what excites you. Totally agree that you shouldn't work at a job that seems depressing, and we don't live in an age where you need to "pay your dues" and "work your way up" as a smart, confident young person anymore--unless you want to. It's up to you to find the right opportunities to go after, though, and that requires a lot of scouting.
I'm a little late to the party, but I don't think I would hire an experienced C# developer that didn't immediately know this could be a one liner:

var csv = ImmutableList<ImmutableList<string>>.Empty;
var map = csv.ToImmutableDictionary(y => y.First(), y => y.Skip(1).ToImmutableList());

I would hope they would then tell me that this will throw an exception when there is a repeat header in the csv data. I'm not sure the functional and safe version is that much cleaner than a for loop:

var map = csv
.Where(x => !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(x.FirstOrDefault()))
.GroupBy(x => x.First())
.ToImmutableDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.First().Skip(1).ToImmutableList());

Edit: But I would hire a developer that knew how to do the equivalent in Clojure without hesitation.
When you hypothesize the existence of new particles, people spend large sums of money building accelerators like the Large Hadron.

Fwiw, if you're going to call out communism, then you also have to include representative democracies.
Not really. The equations of quantum physics don't change by virtue of you observing them.

Nice. This HN thread is a goldmine of info for me. Appreciate all these sharing of resources.
We can't predict how one person will react to a situation. But sometimes we can estimate, on average, how a large group of people will react.

Even a lot of engineering deals with similar types of uncertainty. We build huge structures out of metal, concrete, and wood on top of soils and other geological materials, often with the assumption they they are all homogeneous with constant material properties through the structure (they aren't). However, we can do this because the variations in properties tend to average out as the material sample gets larger. If we try to make the same assumption on very small scales, we find that there is a lot more uncertainty and our predictions aren't going to be as accurate. We see this in physics and many other scientific fields as well.
There is a huge problem here with characterizing the various actors in this situation using the anonymous "they".

Yes, we do see the people on the news who use the mask of chaos to do bad things; but most people are protesting peacefully against mistreatment of people within our fellow citizens. There are even those doing as you described: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2020/06/03/dc-prote...

Honest question, where are you getting your news?
If you're drunk, you can get history, too. Because then you slur your words, and it comes out SHTEAM.
In the UK you can buy a SIM from a vending machine in the airport.
social science is interpretation of data and much closer to history than science. The data will often change over time and thus the interpretation. Its very problematic that we treat it as science because it can be politized. To the extent its science its very very imprecise and is on the other end of the spectrum than something like physics which makes very very careful conclusions about very specific things and even they are to a certain extent also just interpretations. It should be called interpretational disciplines not science.
Coronavirus: WHO advises to wear masks in public areas
"Psychology is not a natural science." I used to think this and to a certain extent I still do but the fact is that the feild has changed and become much more reproducible as time passes and it matures.

More importantly though this article conflates humanities with social sciences pretty badly. This is quite insulting to sociology and even more so to economics and anthropology. Physical antrho is pretty serious science.

There are limitations to social sciences but those are not the same limitations of literary criticism.

Well just for starters, even Rec2020 can display only a fraction of the colors visible to your eye.
Yes and no. There are large amount of economics where the describing what is going on doesn't change the outcome.

Eg, a free market puts tremendous downwards pressure on profit margins. Identifying that means the powers that be fight against free markets with hook and crook - but it doesn't change the fact that if there is a free market it will find an equilibrium where people are indifferent to starting a new business.
Where is the evidence for your approach outperforming the alternatives? Hiring is highly subject to confirmation bias. And the false negative results are never quantified.
I agree with the core premise (scholarships of society are more reflexive), but this nonetheless made me wonder about the relative rates of incarceration and suspicious death among practitioners of the various arts and social sciences.
It has current practical applications in inter-bank fraud detection, where you want to query if someone is on someone else's blacklist but not reveal the blacklist or the person being queried.

These applications can easily handle an 80 sec delay. It's also likely that queries scale well by batching into larger combined queries (since you need to involve every row already anyway).
I, for one, have a bigger problem with it forcing the use of phone numbers as a sign-in method. They're an arbitrary identifier from a legacy system that there's not really a point in continuing to extend, because if your device is capable of anything more advanced than SMS it's also capable of... well, this.

Also KaiOS and the like are making chat feasible even on feature phones.

Don't get me wrong, RCS will be a fine enough fallback (once it's E2E), but standardized chat is the dream.

I'm using webRTC for a video chat project that I'm developing now. I had a hard time making it work on iOS browsers and ended up supporting iOS Safari alone. Though all iOS browsers use the same WebKit, Apple still reserves a few things only for Safari I guess (maybe H264/VP8 video codec related stuff?!).

It may take some time for webRTC (or Apple) to get there, to webRTC become a solid option for p2p video communications.

If anyone wants to quickly try webRTC, check this demo https://appr.tc/ out, you know, with multiple browsers/tabs.

I would add to this list economics.

Oxford Economist Kate Raeworth has made the exact same argument about her own discipline and the allure of the ‘hardness’ of maths and physics. The way early 20th century increasingly turned to Newtonian-like mechanistic descriptions of economic processes, reductionist and absurd ideas about ‘human nature’, and extracting Universal laws from historical and accidental correlations.

I do recommend reading the first half of her Doughnut Economics where she makes this case at length, from someone inside the discipline.

2, you obviously didn't think this post through and came with bias.
I think the real problem is, is that the humanities -- the social sciences in particular -- have proven themselves to consistently build bad models with unproven assumptions. These assumptions have been leveraged to directly influence policy (instead of, say, trying a lot of different things and seeing what works).

Here's a concrete example of a paper [1] that just came out, attempting to impact COVID19 policy, from a very "respectable" set of academics at Yale -- that is based on a flat out fabricated economic model:

We focus primarily on the moderate scenario. That is, our baseline assumption is that diminishing returns play a larger role than accelerating returns (so that α ≤ 1) but not so large that they lead to α < 0. We stress that U depends both on the variation in economic value attached to different activities and on the model governing the disease transmission

Translation: we made some equations that makes the BAD thing BAD and the GOOD thing GOOD.
