Two different countries. There was a big hoo-ha in 1916 about all that.

But this isn't slander. The Indo didn't lie they grossly exaggerated the truth in a gory manner.

Yes, the daughter was distraught - why wouldn't she be in the circumstances? But the Indos headline was along the lines of "AGONY AND PAIN FOR name AS FATHER PERISHES IN NORTH-SIDE INFERNO". This was accompanies by lots of quotes from anonymous "friends and family" about how she and her family were suffering. This article featured lots of personal photos. The really sore things about this is that these photos were only on display in her house, someone she trusted took copies with a smartphone and sent them to the paper.

As she is the copyright owner of some of the pictures I am going to suggest she invoice the paper for reproduction fees when she feels up to it.
I've been previewing this for a while. My biggest gripe is the treatment on all of the buttons. They look like they are depressed when they aren't and don't stand out as remarkably as a call-to-action the way the old buttons did. The easing on the hover animations is way too slow, as well. It just feels half-assed.
Tasks has two features you might be interested in

One is the ability to schedule a repeating task based on the completion date rather than the due date. The other is to hide a task until a particular date

If you believe that 3, 4, and 5 had anything to do with the police in the 20th century then you should probably read up a whole lot more. From my perspective 3, 4, and 5 are what causes 1 and 2.
Police executing people in the streets with impunity is the reason, actually!

not to defend the NYTimes here, they're definitely in the wrong. but doxxing a source for an article and doxxing the subject of an article are very different things. The subject of this article is not a "source".

I see, that's unfortunate. I don't have those issues in my emulated environment though. I don't use Lua anymore - I'm running emulated RISC-V in my own emulator.

I have been benchmarking against LuaJIT for the longest time because I thought it was an equal in that respect. Guess it should have been against regular Lua.

Why would it be propaganda? Is it inconceivable for you that such places could exist?
I see it more as acknowledging limitations. Critical thinking is a filter as opposed to a source.

Besides because something isn't as good as another doesn't make something bad. A good new idea or appeoach and critical thinking is better than just a good new idea and can guide the approach. They aren't mutually exclusive.
I've been pretty careful about phrasing it as I know the trolls. But I am afraid that we cannot discuss all sides of the equation even though they are uncomfortable.

This is the drowning of the voices, the chilling effect of a massive momentum where certain things will inevitably get tramped. Allowing discussion in a polite, unbiased manner should not be met with opposition, but with objective refutal if you have any.

Just saying "When that becomes an issue, we'll address it" is inadequate as that just screams of going too far, removing law and order and turning this place into a total anarchy. Yes, this is the trolling narrative as well - I fully recognize it.

I want peace in the world. Law and order and uplifting of the nation, a unification of both left and right into doing what's right for progress. Yes, we are stuck in chaos of echo chambers.

>> I consider myself a power user, and precisely because MacOS feels like the best of Unix combined with customer focus [...] I simply can't relate to the statement that Mac is a "platform that contends with me every step of the way" and I'm curious to know more specifically why you feel this way?"

I just plugged an extra ssd into my my old thinkpad yesterday. My boot volume is mSata. The hard drive hole was empty, and I added it with one screw. Now I have a vm storage pool. It now has more storage than my gf's mac, and it cost 1/6th as much.

I tried something similar with her computer yesterday. Plugged in a usb SATA ssd. ext4 isn't supported. alt-tab is broken. Using the touchpad for everything is mandatory because hotkeys are counter revolutionary I guess? GNU userland is there but like half of it is broken or fake, like fs/mtab aren’t real? The console clipboard doesn’t seem to work. All the apps are already running instances without a window or something? Is this supposed to be like a phone?

I just want it to fullscreen tmux and leave me alone, but I keep having to search the internet for the cutesy name of the GUI thing that is the only way to do <trivial task>. I could format the disk and put the data back after, but I'm now afraid file io in python will be even more fun than I am already having, so I go find another computer.

I keep trying to learn how to use a mac, but it's always so much harder than just using any other computer that is around that I just can't seem to make time. I find the UI willfully contrarian, and more alien than anything I have every used. I'm not trying to be an OS fanboy here, I know lot's of smart devs who say they like it. I want to "get it" but I just don't "get it". Discover-ability seems poor, especially as a user friendly tool for beginners, but the UI and locked down software eco-system seems so limiting for devs. Like, who is this for?

My gf told to stop trying to think and just click on things… She’s a modeler/dev and she hates her mac, but her employer won’t let her use linux anymore. None of this feels like a dev or “power user” experience. It feels like using Windows XP because the boss made me.

Is this like that thing Neal Stephenson said about the difference between "easy to learn" and "easy to use"? Like if I learn to use it properly I will start having "ah ha!" moments and become more productive?

EDIT: I really don't mean to be flippant! OP asked why people find it limiting. They seemed like they know what they're doing, and might be a dev, and lot's of devs use mac.

OP called it "the best of Unix combined with customer focus", which sounds great to me! I just don't understand what went wrong...
A small bookmarklet that improves the design in my opinion

javascript:void(document.getElementsByClassName("gutter-condensed")[0].childNodes[3].after(document.getElementsByClassName("gutter-condensed")[0].childNodes[1]))
I think an open system with easy to add 3rd party stores would be better. The official stores could focus on super high trust applications from huge brands and let the market find a solution to the bottom end. However, the current system is about maintaining outsized control rather than providing a good product to consumers.

As soon as you give up the idea of preventing people from distributing malicious software, and they're not even doing a good job of it right now, you can let competition in a curation market solve the problem for you. I'd way rather have a system where I can get recommendations from someone that's an expert in an area. Ex: Like JonnyGURU is for power supply recommendations, but for software / extensions.

If you extend that concept to the mobile app stores, a system where someone from my city could run a store for local businesses would be significantly better for users and developers than what we have now. For developers it would be amazing to go to a local business, show some local ID, and get a signing certificate. For users it would be amazing to have a local store where established businesses with ties to the community all have a vested interest in it's quality / trustworthiness. That would be at the lowest end for tiny apps. For anything bigger, someone could build a brand / reputation around curation. For example, think of something like a specialized password manager extension store.

When it comes to Google I think there are two problems that prevent them from building a better system. First, they're arrogant and think users are too stupid to control their own devices. Second, their search has devolved to be an atrocious garbage pit of paid content that's optimized for SEO. It's a cyclic dependency where Google's failure makes it difficult for users to make good choices. Google interprets that as the users being dumb and makes the system even more complicated / less effective by adding more ML and automation.

That also probably plays a role in the reluctance to open up some of the current systems. The attempts at scaling with automation and ML are such failures (everywhere) the only way to make them look half reasonable is to ensure no one else can build a competing system.

This makes me wonder if we could find out what else accumulates we might not have thought of. Perhaps certain carbon structures or metals that may not directly pollute but accumulate all the same to a point where it does become an issue; somewhat like the (iirc) mercury in some fish.
I also call this the head nod effect. It's particularly a problem in technical discussions. I've come to the conclusion that 90% of the time 90% of people don't understand what 90% of what's being said. You essentially have to start from a point of already understanding entirely what the person is saying to be able to keep up, unless they're just saying something completely trivial.

The glue that keeps the illusion that communication is happening alive is that pernicious little head nod. No one wants to be the person that stops the speaker every 30 seconds to get clarification on every piece of jargon and ill-explained thing that comes out of their mouths. So the slight misunderstandings snowball until you're really getting a fraction of whatever the speaker is trying to communicate.

At this point, unless the head nod is aggressively positive, I have come to assume it actually means they have stopped following fully. I then have the decision as the speaker whether to ask for questions or just slow down a bit or stop altogether and see if they naturally show their curiosity.

> What’s going on is that without some kind of direct experience to use as a touchstone, people don’t have the context that gives them a place in their minds to put the things you are telling them.

The beautiful irony is that I simultaneously understand what the author means by this and I find it completely incomprehensible. Well, it's not that bad, but I guess it's just that the concept has morphed into such a complex shape of neurons in my head that doesn't seem to quite fit the words this author is saying, so it doesn't jive quite right. I think I know what they mean, but maybe I don't.
I'm working on autonomous off-road vehicles, and while this is (probably) true for autonomous cars, dynamics modeling for wheeled robots on rough terrain is another beast where these approaches could very much help.
Linkedin can be used in many ways. Some bottomfeeders even use it as a dating service.

This is how I see it: It's a place to connect to a professional network of people you know or have worked with. When you are looking for a job, the recruiter and interviewer WILL look you up on Linkedin.

After that they'll see if there are any shared 1st level connections and reach out to them for comments about you.
The site looks cool. Pardon me if I sound doubtful, but I just wanted to clarify that you're making 7 figures from this? If so then my hat is off to you.

Disease vectors are well understood from the theoretical point of view, but rely on variables that can only be explained by sociological and anthropological notions that are not only extremely difficult to quantify, but also that can change dynamically as societies react in response to pandemics.

Physical models may be extremely complex but physical constants do not change unpredictably over time.
For what purpose? If you use it to help with connecting to people and staying in touch, yes. It doesn't replace the main ways you connect though: conferences and other meetings where you connect face to face, and connecting through shared efforts on Open Source projects, standards, etc.

Yes, there are recruiter spammers. Ignore them, or better yet fire off a polite "Not interested right now, but who knows down the line." type of email. It never hurts to keep doors open.

For advertising your project on LinkedIn, no..that's not where I see value in LinkedIn for most people.

Advertise your project instead in the relevant forums for your language, toolkit, interest. For example, make something that developers or startups might find interesting? Post it on HN with a Show HN. Make some new Rust crate? Post it on /r/rust, or Rust Weekly. Launch a new MVP site? Post it on Techcrunch and HN.

Individual communities such as telecom, ICS, geospatial, defense, etc. have their own forums to post on.

The more utility what you create has for others, and the more freedom you give others to leverage that utility, the more your project will get your name out there.

Another way of thinking about it: don't worry about optimizing your brand right now, create useful interesting things, let the people who share your interest in those types of things know about them, and incorporate any feedback you receive into new things. Also, make yourself available to help people learning the things you've already learned.

The mainstream media coverage of overshoot in publications like the New York Times is intentionally misleading in order to push the (false) narrative that herd immunity requires infecting and killing far more people than you'd naively think. (Their numbers are only accurate if you assume no social distancing at all, which probably isn't even possible at this point.)

Basically, the number of infections peaks at the point where - due to some combination of immunity and measures like social distancing - each person infects at most one other person on average. However, there are still a whole bunch of infected and susceptible people spreading the disease, meaning that quite a lot more people then become infected than is actually necessary to end the outbreak. If you assume no attempt to flatten the curve, then a lot more people become infected than the herd immunity threshold, and that's what the NYT and co have focused on. However, one consequence is that flattening the curve without fully surpressing the outbreak reduces overall infections and deaths - the peak is lower and happens after fewer total infections, making it possible to build a whole bunch of herd immunity without all the extra infections and deaths from massively overshooting it.
> Requiring equal wages is almost like banning it.

It's not designed to be "equal". It never was. It's (nominally) for importing highly skilled workforce, which, naturally, would be earning somewhere in the upper quantiles, their ESL English notwithstanding. Instead it's mostly used to depress entry level wages for recent grads as well as to reduce overall cost of labor by dramatically boosting supply.

> I want none of that.

Why? Seems like fresh grads could use help getting started, and so could the folks recently laid off due to COVID. And so, by the way, could US citizens from disadvantaged backgrounds, a lot of whom would be competing for entry level positions. What's so bad about increasing wages in the entry level segment, and increasing demand for native talent in that segment? Remember, some of the companies in question are inching towards multi-trillion dollar valuations.

> Twitter hid one of President Trump’s tweets on Tuesday with a warning label — the fifth tweet from the president that the social media company has labeled in the past several weeks.

> Twitter said the tweet violates its policy prohibiting abusive behavior and specifically “the presence of a threat of harm against an identifiable group.” The tweet says “There will never be an “Autonomous Zone” in Washington, D.C., as long as I’m your President. If they try they will be met with serious force!”

To me this type of censorship does not make sense. The law is the law, and crimes have consequences. These autonomous zones constitute theft of public property and illegal assembly, and should be shut down. Such actions typically require force, and it is OK to make clear that there are consequences to these criminal actions.

I do not view this statement as abusive behavior. If it were, then Twitter is implicitly claiming that a tweet like "Terrorists will be met with serious force" is also abusive behavior. Or "The Chinese government's abuse of Uyghurs will be met with serious force" would also be abusive behavior.

Lastly, on Twitter I also see various videos and notes that glorify rioting or violence against police or other criminal activity and they're not censored. This comes off to me as further evidence that big tech platforms are indeed politically biased and unfit to operate such large platforms.

I think dark mode was a harbinger of dumbed down UI. Instead of spending time on one good UI, designers and developers were forced to make 2 mediocre ones instead. Plus dark mode is easier if you remove all detail and depth from control elements.

Once we're there, power will be wielded fully by whatever popular sociopath has the rungs on any given day.

That can change day-to-day, year-to-year or election-to-election, and different organisations will have their own all-powerful sociopaths, with their own particular preferences for abuses of power.

Once people have power, they don't merely act ideologically, they act selfishly.

Thats a great and accurate metaphor. Maybe its not a good metaphor since those compare dissimilar things with common attributes. So, this is just accurate.
For anyone who doesn't get why this would happen: GPT-2 basically outputs a probability distribution for its guess of the next word, and then the encoder uses these distributions to perform arithmetic coding adaptively. If the next word in the source text is not actually present anywhere in the output distribution, it cannot encode it.

> Apple never got sued for slowing down the iPad.

I agree.

> So how are two citations about Apple getting sued for slowing down iPhones relevant?

This is proof that iOS devices like the iPad and the iPhone can be slower after an Apple software update. As the case was settled without Apple admitting any wrongdoing, we can only hypothesize about the performance issue.

I agree that in the case of iPhones battery management is a factor in performance throttling. I also suggest that added features in later iOS updates will slow the device down. Some of the most obvious examples of this are when they have improved their UI and rendering or added additional services that run in the background.

If you really believe that an iPad 2 running iOS 4.3 would have the same performance when it is running iOS 9.3 then I would recommend you buy it as your next tablet.
bad enough that google are pushing AMP, let alone trying to take over the webs image formats as well. No more Google!
This is my largest complaint (so far), since it was something I was looking for on a project just after the release.
That's not something we know at this point. All that we know is that Apple has demonstrated a game running acceptably well on their current development hardware. Performance is likely to improve in production versions of the OS, and/or with production hardware.

I'm moving from my 13" MacBook pro (2015) which I really like but it was time for a new machine (should have bought more RAM/ SSD space..).

Its pretty great. Compared to the the MacBook its much faster and has a ton of ports, and everything just works (why you pay a premium for a linux notebook). Build quality isn't as good, but not bad.

Its not perfect, However when running Nvidia video the fan does spin up (its not quiet, but not that bad). The battery life is, terrible, (probably about 3 hours), but it runs jet brains software really well. I've only had one problem waking from sleep in the year I've owned it.
