No I'm not, there is no escaping Java when you work with Clojure, since you'll be using Java libraries and working with Java APIs all the time.
People were not hoarding, they were just buying a little bit more than usual. It's not irrational or 'hoarding' to buy 2x24 when normally you buy 1x24. It seems pretty reasonable actually. But when we all do that, it sells out immediately. It was 'significant increase in demand brought on by marginal and reasonable increases in individual behavior'.

I speak five European languages including German. What you say is the opposite of the truth - English has far more Latin influence than German. By one estimate around a third of English words are derived from Latin (via Norman French, thanks to the Norman conquest of Britain in the 11th century.) German doesn't have nearly as many Latin words.

It's true that German and Latin both have case systems (accusative, nominative, etc.), but German didn't get this from Latin - they both inherited it independently from proto-Indo-European, their common ancestor. English used to have a case system too but it's been lost.

With that being said, my original post had a stupid mistake: I meant to imply that the listed countries don't speak a Latin language, not that they do.

I think it's a huge mistake to group Google, Facebook and Amazon all in the same bucket and say "look, they don't have a monopoly because they each only have X% of 'total digital ad spend'".

If I want to advertise my vacation house for rent, I sure as hell am not going to do it on Amazon, and FB would hardly make any sense (maybe if I had a whole network of houses for rent to do brand marketing, but not if I just had one). Google is pretty much the only option that makes sense here.

I mean, just ask a digital marketer. While there are some potential areas of overlap they all view Adwords, FB ads and Amazon ads very differently and not much in 'competition'.

No. Salts are not intended to be secrets. The expectation is that in the case of a breach that salts are also exposed. What they do is prevent precomputation of lookup tables, granting the developer a bit of time after a breach before all bets are off.

Good decision. Then do the same thing to AWS and Amazon's media branch, and then go undo the whatsapp acquisition. Then stop platforms from subsidizing competing products while they charge competitors high fees like Spotify vs Apple Music.

The increasing trend of large tech conglomerates to use one money printing product like AWS or search or the Apple Store to tactically snipe competitors to destroy or acquire them is absolutely abysmal in the long run. I don't care if it increases consumer prices by 10 cents or whatever, it's time to look at the long term health of the ecosystem overall. It's really the private analog to a state capitalist country subsidizing its own firms while foreigners have to compete on a one-by-one basis. Everyone considers that to be detrimental when it happens between two nations, I don't see why it's not detrimental when it happens in the tech industry.

My favorite MTT moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgzsPoTp2iA

High school band nerd me and my friends loved seeing this. Professional musicians have to be so accurate^, especially in orchestras. It's nice to see they still sometimes fuck up.

^ When I was considering becoming a music major, my teacher told me to get a binder of music. I forget it's name, but it contained 95% of all the classical music you'd play (french horn, so classical) and told me I would have to learn it all and be able to pull any of it out almost note perfect to have a chance.

^ Also on the subject of being perfect - when SFS rehearsed a few years ago, MTT would stop you at some point, give some instruction, and move on. No re-run, everybody was good enough to note it down and not fuck it up the next time. Pro musicians are machines

I'm fine with these subreddits, aslong as they're properly moderated and not calling for violence or start brigading other subreddits. When the whole Jessica Price controversy happend there was a lot of new users on r/Guildwars2 that never posted there before or even played the game. I don't agree with them and think they're vile, but aslong as they don't break sitewide rules I'm ok with them.

Speaking as a former developer (~5 years) + current business owner (~10 years):

"Race to the bottom" freelancing for a dev with no experience is as intended -- the priority is to 1) develop a portfolio of experience to get better cred 2) filter/find long term partners who treat you right. This is a grind and an investment to get out of the race to the bottom.

$1-$1.5/mo is straightforward as long as you keep grinding + filtering for good partners.
Scientific facts are not a worldview. Saying so is awfully ignorant.

Low end in 1992 would have been a 386, which might still have been capable of playing DooM, albeit with the window size reduced and if you were lucky enough to get 4MB of RAM on that box. Low end boxes might still only come with 640k.
It’s a very complicated issue but I thought one of the justifications behind that doctrine was that consumer benefits/prices was a very objective way to measure corporate power (because with lots of power they would be able to raise prices freely to hurt consumers and benefit themselves)

> core.async doesn't have lightweight processes, for any sane definition of these terms

We can argue semantics if you want, but that leads to nothing constructive.

I understand very well that the underlying implementation is different. Core.async is a very clever code rewriting machinery. Go actually has a user level thread implementation, with each Go block its own stack, and the Go runtime schedules those over real OS threads. I know all that.

The implementation doesn't matter for what I'm saying though. At the end of the day, it means you can pause and resume multiple logical code blocks and cooperatively alternate between which one is given another chunk of CPU time. All while keeping memory footprint low, and with very fast context switches.

Thus you can achieve a similar scale of concurrency, and even though they achieve this with a different implementation, Go and Clojure both achieve the same end result.

While I totally acknowledge as well that the implementation Go uses allows for a more ergonomic programmer experience.

It's not a false dichotomy. It's an ethical double standard. If you don't live by your own ethics, how can you judge someone else for not living up to them as well?

Police are just people. Protesters are just people. Every one of them has to decide what they will and will not abide.

It's not a matter of protesters not being able to stop the extremists among them. They're not even trying. They don't even want to.

The problem is that most people (including here in these comments) are rationalizing the actions of these extremists, hence the misapplied MLK Jr. quote. This is an implicit endorsement.

A black police officer was killed by extremists. There is serious violence and burning by extremists. These acts are being implicitly endorsed. In the same way Trump implicitly endorses the behavior of his movement's extremists, by not vehemently denouncing it and distancing himself from it.

It doesn't require training or an oath to condemn extremists and seek to exclude them from your movement. It just requires principle.
How about all of them? Each having their different motives and goals for their ideal society.

I think interfaces in Julia might go something like

interface AnimalActions
function walk(x::Animal) end
function call(x::Animal, y::Animal) end
function eat(x::Animal, z::Food) end
end

struct Dog <: Animal
name::String
end

AnimalActions.walk(x::Dog) = true
AnimalActions.call(x::Dog, y::Animal) = true
AnimalActions.eat(x::Dog, z::Food) = true

setinterface Dog AnimalActions end

and then I guess using it like

using AnimalActions

Chicago School antitrust doctrine has been the direction of US jurisprudence throughout the existence of the online advertising industry and predates all of the market participants.

Maybe I'm busting out my tinfoil hat, but I think that's the point. YouTube and other businesses wouldn't be able to survive without Google's ad money.

In my experience traditional media companies are the ones most heavily pushing for Google's breakup. Is this due to genuine fear of monopoly, or due to the desire to eliminate a competitor encroaching on their revenue sources?
Ask HN: Recommendation for PhD-level course on DeepLearning for self-learner?
Hi HN,
I have started my study on DeepLearning from March.
Initially, I went with no Math courses like fast.ai and Started working on code. But to implement something new I needed a Deeper Knowledge on Research papers so I have completed the following courses.

1. Andrew Ng's DeepLearning Specialization

2. NLP from Stanford.

then I went to https://www.deeplearningbook.org book by Ian Goodfellow.
But the unsupervised learning part too abstract. that I feel like I am still missing the foundation for understanding deeplearnning.

Any recommendation?
> Lawyers were embedded on many product teams

As they should be at a large corporation that was known for abusing its market power. It's not like engineers are experts in whether a feature breaks the law or not -- nor are they supposed to be.

> review cycles became slower

Oh come on, legal approval is just one more checkbox along with 20 others. And if it's slowing down reviews for a few important features or products, that's the point -- that legal considerations actually get considered rather than ignored or steamrolled over. The same way there are approvals for privacy, security, accessibility, and so on that are "slower" -- again, that's the point.

> execs became complacent

I don't believe this for a second. Execs at every company want to meet/beat metrics, get promoted, and make more salary. Nobody's complacent ever. The idea that execs become "complacent" because of a single highly targeted regulation is baloney. It's a total fiction invented for political lobbying purposes. Remember: removing monopoly abuse means a company has to work harder to to compete, instead of resting complacently on lazy market dominance. If anything, these execs were forced to be less complacent. But it's a nice lie they're trying to tell.
I've been having major sleep issues recently (waking up every 60-90s minutes, trouble staying asleep, averaging 2-4 hours of sleep a night total).

I recorded myself overnight and heard quite a bit of snoring, so I picked up a at-home sleep study kit, convinced that I had sleep apnea. The results were that I didn't, classified my O2 intake as normal, and my snoring threshold as low.

I'm at a loss as to what do now. I have been practicing good sleep hygiene and exercising, but now I'm at the point where I'm asking my doctor for a prescription because I'm just so desperate for a night of sleep.
Na, you can do it all online for many Banks with some of the id check methods. It's just legally preferable for Banks to have a physical signed contract as there are a lot of responsibility on both parties sides so many Banks require you to sign and send them a contract. So it's not because they technically/legaly can't, it's just because they prefer not to for legal liability reasons.

Most if not all software is shipped with known defects. So clearly, the fact that a "bug" can be identified doesn't give any weight when describing when it needs to be fixed.

A missing feature can be just as onerous to a user as a defect. Understanding if an issue gets in the way of productivity is all that matters, regardless if it's described as a bug or a feature.

Tracking metrics against bug vs. feature is a surefire way for a system to be gamed. If there are consequences in finding/reporting defects, then all work-items will eventually be labeled as "features". Or if you reward finding bugs, then all work-items will gravitate towards "defects". It's up to you how you want to play this game.

I've used Discord for years, and admin a small community server.

With the new video chat features, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a B2B offering soon. I certainly hope that they do so: their platform is mature, and more useful than Zoom and Slack.

Server mutes. Local volume. Push to talk. Krisp noise cancellation. Non-hostile UX. Non-threaded conversation.

In Zoom, when the presenter shares their screen, you're forced into full screen, which disrupts my note taking flow. The meeting chat's also a joke. Sure, Zoom is a useful FaceTime alternative for Enterprise, but it isn't good for collaboration. It's very self centered.

Zoom also took the interesting stance of letting FBI/Police have access to user conversations. Discord doesn't have E2E, but they did tweet a post of solidarity.

> Investigations, evidence collection, interviews, etc can all be done by any old bureaucrat. Much like the FDA investigators and Fire Marshals don't need the authority of an LEO.

So a police detective? I don’t really see how renaming police detectives “Investigator” or some similar name shuffling changes or resolves anything. Unless you’re suggesting farming these tasks out to the private sector. I guess towns could contract with PIs or a private detective agency, but I find it hard to believe such a privatized agency would be any better than sworn LEOs in terms of corruption, brutality, etc.

The comparison with a fire marshal is instructive; according to Wikipedia “Fire marshals may be sworn law-enforcement officers and are often experienced firefighters.” In other words, just like in the case of police detectives, it’s seen as a good thing for them to have experience and authority.

> There's no need for police to be first-responders in purely medical situations. It's unfair to expect that police also take up the burden of medical care. While we are at it, it's also silly that the fire department responds to non-fire medical incidents in their big ass fire truck. Doing so compromises their abilities to handle situations where their expertise is explicitly required.

I don’t think acting as EMTs is a big part of police calls. As you note, the FD often responds to such purely medical incidents as they are better trained and have better resources.

I agree that the use of SWAT teams for small towns should be looked at. In my opinion, these specially trained officers should be part of state police or big cities only. State police could support local PDs if needed.

In general, your post is about some types of police reform.

It doesn’t interact with the post I originally responded to, which posited that “police” are “very much not necessary” in modern America.
