Impressive, Zuck knew in 2014 while Facebook was acquiring Instagram that Trump would someday be President and it was prudent to have dinner with him.
This is a problem I find tiring about most studies, even in the sciences (excluding most physics and all mathematics). It seems as if most researchers are looking for a novel or interesting correlation or apply an interesting model to a new domain. Generally, I've found this puts insufficient effort into any kind of disconfirmation.

It makes sense, though, with the incentives most academic journals put into study authors. Nothing's sexy about disproving some random model fits.
Java and C# essentially let you dynamically load/JIT code (not to be confused to the JIT-to-native virtual machine implementation they often run on); JavaScript is much closer to Ruby in that sense. It also gets really slow if you try to do any of those things extensively.
It likely works about as fine as NSJSONSerialization does, which is to say: I've had no issues, although the "validating" does sometimes lag and that can be annoying.

> Then they goes on to criticize political science and psychology as their poster children for the humanities, except these are social sciences

Social sciences are a humanities. The term social science was invented fairly recently by sneaky academics to leech off the credibility of actual science.

> It's like the author isn't even familiar with academia.

Are you? This issue with "social science" has been going on for a few decades now.

Richard Feymann called social science a pseudoscience a few decades ago.

The name social science was invented for the same reason creation science was invented because real science had such a good reputation and they didn't so they decided to manufacture some credibility by attaching "science" to their fields.

Even in the military, "I was just following orders," is not a defense for crimes committed. In the US military, you _must_ disobey orders if those orders are unlawful or a person of ordinary sense and understanding would know them to be unlawful. German soldiers had the same issue after WW2.

Do we need fancier widgets or people with the capacity for and appreciation of human development?

Is the world suffering from a lack of scientific progress or a lack of sophistication in human problems?

Do more people suffer from depression or insufficient software quality?

Do you think that the people who develop software could benefit from exposure to wider philosophical thought or from a better IDE?

Outside of technology, are we better, more capable human beings than we were 100 years ago?

It's alarming that many STEM-natives think the wider human experience isn't worthwhile. It's a prerequisite for progress.

Technology is just tools, and tools are means to an end. What's the end we're shooting for? That's the humanities.
One way to do better is to recognize that the onus is by default put on minorities to explain discrimination. For example, black people in the US spend extraordinary amounts of time explaining racism to white people, an exhausting and neverending effort. It's like a DDOS.

totally agree. And then it even brings out the good old "tax payer money" line and asks if it is useful. As if we should only pursue that which seems instantly useful.

More frustrating is that there is some valid criticism of "digital humanities" for being the cool new discipline that while capable of some great stuff is guilty of all too often neglecting the "humanities" part of the term in favor of just throwing up some graphs.

No thank you, VMware off-shored development and canned the local Fusion devs and quality has suffered (CVEs, system crashes, etc) as it's lowly competitor pulled way out ahead and the whole company is indirectly owned by DELL now. (DELL isn't exactly an Apple fan.) Also, Fusion 11.5 only runs on Mojave or higher, which is an issue for some older servers (like the trashcans).

Meanwhile Apple is deprecating Kexts and obviously shifting to ARM, so better to do all this inside of Linux running on the Apple Hypervisor.framework (Parallels) while looking around at non-ARM alternatives.
The article is written by a woman. Though I'm not sure if women can be considered bros under the common derogatory use of the term.
Ah, I see what you mean. You're saying that intent does not excuse action, and if somebody is repeating things that are racist then they are engaging in racism, and a racist is someone who carries out the act of racism. Therefore they are a racist.

I can't disagree with that. Thanks for making the effort to explain.

EDIT (5 minutes later): Man, now that you put it that way I can't stop thinking about how obvious that is.

"Just because they're repeating racist things doesn't mean they're a racist" Is a pretty weak line of thought, since that's quite literally the definition of racist. It's alarming what you internalize living somewhere for long enough. Sorry ojnabieoot, I've got it now.

As the wave of microservices architecture hit, the hypothesis is that companies with a reasonably large size of microservices would want a dashboard or a home page to see these services, their metadata and their status in a single place.
They may further want to see where the services stand in terms of some rules/metrics.

Companies tend to do DMCA takedowns immediately and only ask questions when they're challenged. The "outrage" here is that he's being subject to the same rules as an ordinary citizen. Trump is the president, not an emperor. Yawn. Wake me up when there's bipartisan support to end DMCA.

As someone who did my graduate work in humanities and not social science, I think there is a world of difference between social science and humanities. There might be some valid criticism of the term "social science" and the field but lumping it in with humanities isn't accurate. While there are tons of people who use mixed methods, quantitative and qualitative work tend to be very different in focus and even how they are written.
I'm going to sum up half the HN comments here without reading them: "This isn't good, humanities are important, not everything can be quantified."

Yes, the whole point of the DMCA safe harbor is that companies are incentivized not to try to adjudicate complaints made in proper form.

If Trump wants to file a counternotice he can...find out how the DMCA process is fundamentally weighted against counternotice because the underlying potential liability that is being avoided isn't symmetric.
Are you suggesting that they should instead say "Hey George, we sincerely feel bad for you, but we can't help but let the mob burn down your house, because, you know, we're at a BBQ party weekend. Also your career is entirely over. Good luck."

Is "ghosted" the same thing as shadowbanned?
cies is correct but I'd like to expand the point. A junior engineer (like me) might have encountered tens of systems, and work in less than ten. Senior/more experienced engineers encounter and work in much more. They know which things to implement. For example, let's implement an authentication system for a SaaS. The junior engineer will ask for specs to the brim to avoid missing anything. How to do forget password? Password requirements? Social logins? While the experienced can see the contexts, pick the suitable decision and implement it quickly. They will be more concerned whether the auth will need to support OAuth to smooth out onboarding or to put it off later because their target demographic is more familiar with email/password. These kinds of shortcuts compound to reduce anxiety, increase velocity, and to iterate faster when the product hits the market.
It's not being censored. It's been taken down for (allegedly) infringing the rights of another. This is little different from that time my mom posted a video of my neice dancing to barely-audible music in the background, and it was taken down within an hour. Protest that.
Please don't post shallow/snarky one-liners as first comments to HN threads. Threads are super sensitive to initial conditions, so a blank thread is like a fragile ecosystem, and a comment like this is something of an oil spill.

Do you think there is a factor of unknowns in both economics and humanities (disparate) that challenge scientific study? I.e. humanities and a further extension of art is currently immeasurable. If this sounds like a loaded question, I don't know how to phrase it correctly.
I don't use it myself but it's possible to embed Neo Vim in VSCode. So you're able to use edit text using a real instance instead of relying on a crappy emulation.

Tangentially related, this would be a fun target for the anti-trust lawsuits. Force google to open its search results as an API service. Allow them to charge for it, sure. But make it an open API.

Do you have anything to back this up? According to Wikipedia's rather extensive article on the history of the social sciences, the term first appeared in 1824, and the discipline was pretty well established by the turn of the 20th century.

LTE-U is commercially available and currently in use on a limited scale for wireless internet service. The main (and almost only) manufacturer of base stations and clients is a company called Baicells.

While LTE-U does have some advantages over WiFi for WISP use (e.g. better handling of a large number of clients per AP), the higher cost (around ~$9k for an LTE-U eNodeB compared to as low as $500 for a WISP-grade 5GHz WiFi AP) and scarcity of vendors means that it's not very commonly used. We'll see if that changes over time, but WiFi has a huge amount of inertia in that space so it seems difficult for LTE-U to catch up considering that the power levels are limited to such an extent that it doesn't have a huge range advantage over WiFi with good antennas.

In fact, just looking at Baicells it seems that they offer fewer models for LTE-U than they used to, so they may be finding that sales aren't enough to keep up the product line.
As a long time vim user, I’ve tried VSCode a few times and I cannot for the life of me figure out what all the hype is about. Can anyone who is proficient with it explain the philosophy behind it and what makes it so great? This is a sincere question, not a rhetorical one.
I like the band analogy best:

The core creatives eventually went their separate ways. Some started new bands, some changed industries, and some stayed together under the original name.

But like a rock band id will be forever defined by the creatives involved in each era. The Keen, Doom, and Quake eras all had slightly different members, and it shows strongly in their product.

Then most of the remaining band left, and John Carmack kept touring with studio musicians.

In 2015–2018, the three year period of VTEC, customer satisfaction was generally unchanged from East Coast (though went down at the very end) and £800m was returned to the Treasury. Per year, that's 30% higher than the nationalised East Coast returned (and okay, ~£160m of the £800m ultimately came from Stagecoach paying more money than VTEC had operating profit, but from a taxpayer point-of-view that's irrelevant).

As much as I hate Trump, many people are salty that he won and want to put a blame on something. That's it.
For well-defined tasks, I love Kanban. Many people don't. But I think there is a lot of value in having a limited number of tickets "checked out" and having a quick, regular discussion on how the current state should be updated. It is also, in my opinion, the simplest way to "be agile".

It's also not compatible with complicated work. If you're still in the discovery phase, sometimes it takes a significant amount of work to get to a point where you really feel confident on what the end goal looks like, and how to estimate how you'll get there. In that case the work is shifting under you too much for Kanban to be of much help.
I think you’re missing the bigger picture here, google customers are marketers not gmail users.

The worst thing that google does imho is to subsidize YouTube, Gmail and other products using advertising money. They’re effectively selling your data to marketers while killing competitors.
Naive P2P doesn't scale like that. You'd have to do something much more advanced like a tree based multicast algorithm. That's hard to get right. Seems like the engineering there is more expensive than just paying for a ton of bandwidth and doing a simple centralized aggregator.

Of course there could also be a surveillance motive.
Sorry, I should have been more accurate: “No single user’s personal feed is at issue here”.

Sure if everyone would magically know whom to block and what to ignore, then we wouldn’t have an issue. But that’s not the case here is it? If a large number of people get constant posts with reactionary content without any scrutiny or fact checks we wouldn’t know any better then to get behind it. That is kind of how propaganda works. And that is exactly what is going on in the personal feed of millions of facebook users.

All we’re asking is that facebook will lower prominence of false or hateful content, add fact checks with lying content and counter reactionary content with scrutiny. Facebook is being grossly negligent by allowing the current state to continue, and—given how pervasive the platform is—facebook is currently harmful for our democracy.
