> I guess that depends doesn't it

This is exactly how I'd frame any situation to defend any argument or position no matter how inappropriate it is.

Dressing up police like soldiers and letting them rip on harmless and unarmed people is most definitely not the same as soldiers in a declared conflict making collateral damage while fighting a genuinely dangerous army armed to the teeth. Soldiers dress like soldiers because they have to go fight other soldiers and face machine gun or sniper fire, mortars, IEDs, grenades, tanks, etc. Police dresses up like soldiers to fight some people with a bandanna and a passive aggressive sign. Are you telling me that's the same?

Unless a country declares war on its citizens the police should not be allowed under any circumstances to treat them as an enemy combatant. And it doesn't even matter really, the fact that the US Army is more that willing to commit war crimes should have no impact on what the Police does to its citizens.

This is what happens when common sense stops being common, when people no longer understand "appropriate force" and "proportionality".
I was just about to post this! It's such a good set of examples.
Regarding average: which average in the sense of: average over what time window? Any specific choice here needs to be justified as happening in the brain.

Regarding "we will find brain models with observable activity that follows the FEP?": abstractly you are saying that your prediction for theory T is that we will eventually confirm T. This does not exclude anything, I can state this for any theory T whatsoever. (For fun, try to instantiate T with outlandish theories, e.g. with "We will eventually find weapons of mass destruction in Irak", or with plausible theories that have failed so far, e.g. "We will eventuallly see supersymmetry". Does your prediction rule anything out?)

Regarding variational Bayes, that was not invented by the Free Energy millieu.
PostGraphile maintainer here; what you’ve said is not really true for PostGraphile - we give you a huge toolbox of ways to customize, shape and extend your schema so it’s designed for consumers to consume rather than just being a way of exposing your database over GraphQL (which I agree is not necessarily the right goal in many cases). It does encourage you to put your business logic in the database, but you can also do logic in JS/TS if you see fit with our powerful plugin system and range of plugin factories for common tasks, such as makeExtendSchemaPlugin for adding your own types and resolvers. It constructs a GraphQL schema using the reference implementation so you can then use the schema with other tools if you like. For an example GraphQL schema that’s client focussed, see: https://graphile-starter.herokuapp.com/graphiql . I care deeply about building high quality GraphQL schemas; this is one of the reasons I contribute to the GraphQL Spec itself.

All classes have multiple graded activities. There are weekly assignments, that are peer graded. There are three graded exams throughout every term that count to the final grade. There are learning journals that I mentioned, which are teacher graded and contribute to the final grade. And then, there is one final exam, that accounts for something like 30% of the whole grade.

Most often, this final test is done online, without any supervision. For some classes (like math classes), there is an online proctor required (ProctorU, costs around 15 bucks an exam). You might have your own proctor somehow, I didn't try that.

Grading is another area that I am ambiguous about. Peer graded exercises are kind of hit or miss. Sometimes, the peer marks something as incorrect because they are incorrect. Sometimes, they mark everything as correct because, I don't know, they want to be nice or something. Sometimes, there are mistakes in the grading key that peers should use, and that's the most infuriating to me, because the teachers' attitude towards mistake in grading keys vary significantly (and they mostly correct your grade but not the grading key, so future students will hit the same thing).

Overall, the tests for CS courses were, so far, somewhat unimpressive... I've seen questions like "who created C", or "what is the output of this python code" type of questions. The tests are mostly multiple-choice. I'd prefer if the class could elect not to do tests, and do a large project instead. Maybe for more advanced CS courses, that's how they do it, but so far, I've not seen anything like that (and I started 2 years ago, though I took some breaks). It's mostly the exercises and assignments that students are graded on throughout the course where the bulk of learning happens.

For the math classes, they were much tougher, where even a multiple choice answer is not making it significantly easier. For math classes, the tests are no joke. The strange thing was that the math classes teach quite advanced concepts that require you to calculate, for example, e^x or a sum of squares, or straight out use R, and then, in the final tests, you're allowed only a four-function basic calculator. That's amazingly frustrating to me, and I ended up guessing a lot of the questions (as in, e to the power of 4 would be probably less than answer A, but more than answer C and D, so B it is).
I think the popularity of dark mode is at least partially because people's monitors set way too bright.
The Windows NT4/95 Explorer was the best because I could actually configure the exact same details view everywhere and the Explorer would remember and keep my settings.

Actually respecting the user's settings is something modern Microsoft doesn't view as important anymore.
The greatest potential benefit AI has for humans is the ability to act as a life-long personal mentor: to collect, filter, summarize, translate into a form best suited for the individual, and communicate that information. Especially as we enter into the "Post Information Age", where the amount of information becomes so large that traditional methods of management such as search engines become unusable.
I’m related to a professor of design, and he recommends White House Custom Color (https://www.whcc.com/) for prints. I think you may need to upload a sample of your “work” to gain access, at least last time I made an account.

I actually have some of his prints from an exhibition hanging on my wall (via 3M adhesive strips), printed via this service. These are printed on a ~1/8” board and have a glossy protective finish. They’re super high quality.

As for whether the price is reasonable...I’ll leave that to you and your utility function.

(PS: OP’s site is awesome)
I fall in this category. I like light-on-dark background for code and parts where the text is well-spaced. Mainly because it gives place for more distinguishable colors. However I hate reading blocks of texts in white-on-black. I have set Mail to use light background and I wish there was a way to tell Safari to not communicate a dark preference.
It was fixed.

> When I was in the military, a key tactic of camouflage was to never, under any circumstances, expose yourself on a hilltop or similar, where your silhouette could be easily identified. A dark blob on a light background is far easier for the human eye to see, than the reverse.

I hate these obviously one sided arguments. Here they could have said to not use a flashlight while hiding in the dark. But they tactfully left that out.
This just reminded me that HN doesn’t have a dark mode. Also, bigger fonts would be nice. I can’t use user scripts or custom CSS on my iPad, and Reader Mode tends to fail here unless I point it to a meatier comment (it looks for the biggest blogs of text), so any tweaks towards improved readability here would be great.
They'll probably move to categories or something that can be banned, rather than explicit lists.

I find the Ribbon's contextual options perfect. When I'm at the root of My Computer, it's useful to see "Map Network Drive". When I'm in any other location, I don't care about that, so it's gone. When I click on a ZIP file it's useful to see options for extraction, etc.

The Ribbon is far more useful for new users. It's true that if you memorized the Excel 97 menu layout you may not find things exactly where they were, but most users would never have been able to find things they wanted in the menu anyway.

My experience is that people who complain about the ribbon largely use keyboard shortcuts (which still exist) anyway, if they've even used Windows in the last decade.
Science says we read faster with black on white. But reading speed isn't important when you're coding, comfort is.
IMDB is a very useful product connection & marketing platform for Amazon for their Prime & Hollywood business. Having quality assets in Hollywood, is worthwhile for multiple reasons. Besides that, Bezos is a Hollywood prestige junky, and IMDB is one of the highest traffic sites in the entertainment business (in the world in general also).

BoxOfficeMojo by contrast is more like the old Alexa.com, it's almost worthless at this point. It has a bit of traffic they can use for marketing, so Amazon recently remade the product to update it a bit (first design update in like 12 years). Other than that, it's not very valuable.

It's an impressively dumb move that Amazon has made with Alexa.com. They should have entirely abandoned the name, when they went with Alexa for the name of their home consumer gadget product ('intelligent speaker'). They should have handed the domain to the new Alexa gadget product, so when consumers type in Alexa.com they get what they would expect to; and it should be marketed everywhere with that domain associated to the gadget.

Just rename the old Alexa web stats product and be done with it. If they think they can make some money off of it via AWS, that's fine, do it with another name. There's zero name value in keeping Alexa.com tied to what it is now. Call it the AWS Web Stats Service and hand Alexa.com to the AI product for consumers.
Hah! Don’t leave us hanging. What was your experience between the two for classes?

I took some community college programming classes in NJ and NYC. Didn’t have to repeat the ones I did. I was in awe at how weak the curriculum was in both cases. It’s not the student’s faults imo that their programming skills were lacking. The classes weren’t challenging.

Yet some of them eventually transferred to State Uni for comp sci. It really amazed me. Wonder how they fared and if that just means that specific state school is just really easy too.

Well, the term "tuition" refers to a part of the overall university expense. For example, for NYU, a quick search reveals a whopping $55,018 in annual tuition. That's not the total cost, which is higher since you might be paying for room and board, administration fees, classes/credit-hours, etc.

In general, universities in Europe tend to be free, so I agree with you, 100USD per class is indeed tuition for me. But, it is not the US-centric "tuition" of the brick-and-mortar schools.

> A nice dark screen with light text is easier to read, right? Well, according to multiple studies, that’s wrong apparently.

That was really funny. "Do you like chocolate? Well, according to multiple studies, you don't apparently."

How can a study tell me what is comfortable for me? Are we going crazy? We are starting to treat studies like little gods which tell us what to do, and apparently, what to like.
It holds your hand through creating memory, adders, muxers from logic gates and then finally ending up with a virtual machine you can actually program with a made up assembly language.

Because of it, I have a perspective on constraints and state machines that helps with my day job as a programmer and distinguishes me from collegues.

Sometimes even a dump can contain great wisdom.
Another tip: Shift-Right-Click a file in Explorer and "Copy as path" will appear in the context menu.

After reading this comment, I opened up my explorer to notice, there is a ribbon there. In the default overview it actually has some buttons I would use (but it's the small ones) as I don't regularly add network mounts or addresses.

I think I ignored it after having no use for it in the beginning (and as my usual operations in the explorer are mostly navigation based).

Electro Keto Pills
Aides in the advancement of the cerebrum – Keto consumption additionally improves mind wellbeing. As the main substrate BHB advances toward the cerebrum, the brain turns out to be overly dynamic.

One can get into shape rapidly – Weight misfortune isn't adequate for all. Some need more. Many need to get fit as a fiddle. That is the reason they need to take Keto, to get in shape in target territories. They can lose that specific thigh fat, or extra padding if Electro Keto is embraced broadly. Utilization of Electro Keto begins ketosis and consumes fat quick. The fundamental point of the enhancement is to catalyze the procedure of Ketosis through BHB.

The main barrier is that almost all modern GUIs depend on high refresh rates, but it's not hard to imagine a GUI designed from the ground-up for ePaper. Little-to-no transitions, pagination instead of scrolling, maybe a customized version of Firefox with a prominent Readability toggle, etc

Good technical writer – Bad technical writer
Good documentation can mean the difference between average and great products.

For some years now, I have been involved in creating content for our blog, reviewing my author-colleagues work, writing user-guides, and feature descriptions. I have gathered many thoughts on both what you should do and what you shouldn’t.

Inspired by the famous writing Good Product Manager/Bad Product Manager from Ben Horowitz, I structured my thoughts using the same paradigm.
You can still do that.
Not completely. I've seen hard deadlocks on ReaderWriterLockSlim on high thread counts on 8+ core nodes on .Net core (2.1). Literally all threads in a process jammed on spin waits. This is especially frustrating as the concurrent collections sit on top of that steaming pile of crap.

I've learned to walk in the opposite direction of .Net now.
Da fck.

I recently learned you can add this feature to the right click context menu via adding a registry entry.

Dark modes are a choice. Light modes are a choice. Everyone is free to choose what they like, so trying to influence people one way or another, or criticising their choice, is unproductive.

I live in Wales, a country where our default weather is "meh". I live on the dark side of a mountain. I work in a room with no external windows. Yes I use dark modes, and if you used light mode in my office I'd think you were a fucking nutcase, but I'd leave you to it because that's your choice.

Light mode in my office is painful, dark mode in bright sunshine doesn't work. Shocker.

The parent article here is actually difficult for me to read; the text appears to have ghostly halos for me. Perhaps I'm being hypocritical when my own blog (https://senryu.pub/afternoonrobot) isn't much different; although I made a concious effort there to make sure it inverts easily with iOS dark-mode/Dark Reader etc.
Local community college online classes has that same mandatory writing something and responding 3 times. I really disliked it. Forcing that sort of thing with such specific requirements made it so the majority were talking without much care at all. I was the same as I don’t like the forced interaction. At least the way it was set up.
In this post alone, there are people saying that looting is justified... For every person saying that the looters are unrelated, there is another person or two that either condones that behaviour or justifies it.

Either we have looters in this thread, or the movement is a big umbrella that encompasses the unsavourable elements too.

Given Keller's position at Intel, such a reduced work setup could perhaps work for several weeks. But i doubt it would be sustainable for a longer time. This seems more of a sudden health drama, thus they decided he wouldn't be able to fill out his job and has to focus on his health for the coming months/years.
As he is still available as (time- and responsibility-reduced) consultant, this seems like a rather unfortunate development for both sides. Wish him all the best!
Yes I see the text blurred, but it's simply less painful to read it in a dark room.

Dark mode is usefull and is not something new.

When car had integrated navigation system, the screen would go in dark mode if external lightning is too low.
If anyone wants to have a go at a “normal” end-to-end user experience, I have a Docker setup with Xrdp and audio enabled at https://github.com/rcarmo/ubuntu-xrdp that I poke at now and then, and loads of previous attempts at the same all over my GitHub (many of my “desktop app” containers have VNC, Xrdp or Guacamole bundled in for remote access from my Mac and iPad).

Right now the biggest issue I have with RDP on Linux is that the default packages that ship with most distros are useless—they are either outdated (still in VNC proxy mode) or poorly integrated with login managers. Also, even though I get “free” multi-head when accessing a Windows desktop from my Mac (and believe me, that is an amazing way to work on a daily basis) I have yet to get it to work 100% with a Linux server (it works and I get multi-head, but sometimes displays are swapped for some reason).

Many people don’t “get” RDP because they confuse it with VNC and other remote display solutions. But when it is set up properly, it is _massively_ better than VNC, NX or Xpra in terms of bandwidth, latency, and client support (yes, there are thousands of VNC clients, and every Linux box can do X over SSH, but I can use RDP from my iPad, Android, etc., and those are the thin clients I travel with).
