If the code is a mess the type system can’t help, it is part of the mess.

End to end tests are really slow, but if you can get them into the 300-1600 tests per second range then i have no beef. I value tests but I seriously grudge waiting for tests.

There are multiple things you can do with GA of course, like IP anonymization, setting a smaller expiration date for that cookie, etc, however trust in Google Analytics is low and that won't change.

Also a lot of websites, especially personal ones, are in violation of ePrivacy. You may not need GDPR consent for analytics, qualifying for a legitimate interest, but you still need a cookie banner when dropping cookies for analytics.

The market is clear about it, analytics have to be first party and privacy preserving.
Hi,

This flow works under some conditions only:

* You have working CI/CD that you can trust

* You do not have to support old versions of the software

Example of some situations where these conditions are not met:

* Installs of your software are not reachable over the Internet

* Your software needs manual testing or qualification before deployment

* You do not handle your software's deployment; your client does.

In those situations, you may need to maintain release branches, and backport fixes, etc.
I empathize. Been doing ML for a similar amount of time, and the amount of people who claim to know ML, but lack basics, abound. I don't think they are to blame (after all learning isn't bad, and everyone wants to capitalize on a market); we need to adapt to the fact that the definition of ML practitioner has considerably broadened: from someone who knows only to use vgg16 from PyTorch, without understanding the optimization, loss, alternative algorithms etc to someone with a much broader and deeper view of the area. Problems arise when people expect candidates of the latter type but instead end up running into a steady stream of candidates of the former type.

Hiring Managers probably need to get used to the fact the term "ML practitioner" alone doesn't mean much anymore, and they need to set expectations accordingly.
I'm happy to see it being released.

Well, a history of illegality isn't a good look for anyone but they pull it off so well.
How you label the deaths is not that big of a deal in the larger scale. If you want to know the true toll of the epidemic, just look at this year's deaths vs. an average of previous years. It's simple and transparent.

Here's that data for England:

I get why everyone is questioning everything, but there isn't some big conspiracy here. Lots of people died of COVID. Most of them were 80+. You probably don't know any of them if you don't hang out with 80-90 year olds.

For me an large percentage of generative art fits on the stick figure side than the Vitruvian Man side.

Sure, most things are a loop and a couple of sin functions. I find it pleasantly surprising when I figure out how people have made seemingly complicated things by building up simple techniques.

If DaVinci walked around the Guggenhiem maybe he'd feel the same way about a lot of the art there. I'm not sure it would detract from the art if he did though. "I could have made that easily" is more a testament to the viewer's skills than a criticism of the artist's work.
Or you could just use Cloudflare logs. It's far more reliable to use log information than JavaScript given the number of people who use blockers of some sort.

Do you imply that Apple is putting up a misleading interface in the new version of Safari where GA appear blocked while it actually isn't?

That's a pretty bold assertion and the provided link is irrelevant on that.

It's simply not true that communists are canceled.
The media regularly openly supports the CCP. The

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Communism != Socialism

Each of these terms have been applied to a wide variety of beliefs and practices. Nobody owns these terms, but even Marx himself drew a sharp distinction between the two.

"Communism" is a system in which the state owns everything and resources are, theoretically, fairly and equally distributed to the people. In practice, this has never worked out well, and very few folks view communism as a realistic solution today.

"Socialism" refers to a much wider range of ideas. Broadly speaking, any redistribution of wealth is "socialism" and this would include collecting taxes and using them to build a public library, roads, or fund schooling for children.

In practice, just about every nation on Earth is a blend of socialism and capitalism. In a truly free-market/capitalist society with zero traces of socialism, the government would provide almost literally nothing except for perhaps border defense.

Canada and the UK are capitalist, but lean farther toward socialism (with their nationalized healthcare, etc) than the USA. When a modern American politician like Sanders or AOC advocates for "socialism", this is what they mean.

Unlike communism, socialism works. It's just a question of how much of it you want. Even your most "socialist" politicians in the USA don't advocate the abolition of private property, and even the most libertarian politicians don't advocate the total dismantling of the federal government.

It is also very important to understand that socialism is utterly compatible with democratic elections. Just as you could have a capitalist nation ruled by a dictator, you can have have a socialist nation with democratic elections. A nation's method of choosing leaders is almost entirely orthogonal to how it structures its economy.
How to perform effective code reviews like a human being
There is tons of low effort generative art, but there’s tons of low effort art in every medium: photography, drawing, sculpture, weaving, etc. I wouldn’t dismiss an entire community/movement for this reason.

But it’s worth mentioning that perceived effort / time spent is not always an important metric in art. Look at Pollock, Malevich, or Ellsworth Kelly for example, where you may feel anybody could do this work in an hour or two.

One issue with the term is that it includes commercial work quite often. There is enough interest within tech that you can be a “generative artist” and perhaps make a living by floating 3D cubes. I don’t think that makes you an artist, nor does it make your art “good”.

If you want to see some “good” generative art, perhaps look into it’s history including Vera Molnar, Georg Nees, Harold Cohen, Manfred Mohr. If you want to see a more modern interpretation, look into Tomás Saraceno, Elias Crespin, Anders Hoff, Tyler Hobbs, Random International, onformative, UVA, FIELD, Variable.io, Nervous System, and Scott Eaton. These are a range of artists / design studios, not all of them solely focus on art-making (sometimes it’s commercial), and not all of them code (generative art != code), but they are all doing important work in different ways and are far removed from your friend pushing simple doodles on clients.
I'm running UBlock Origin and UMatrix too. And both of them are blocking eyereturn.com. But because I've got Firefox to alert me to fingerprinting (not a default option I think) I also got a little pop-up informing me that the site was using it. Which advice I appreciated even though I was already protected by those two earlier mentioned services.

If the code is that bad, unit tests aren't going to help you. Messy spaghetti code with massive structural issues will break every unit test every time you change anything in the code, in ways that make no sense and provide you with little useful information. You will fix things faster if you just let the tests fail, fix the code and then rewrite the tests. Which makes the unit tests useless.

Also, have you ever seen a project where the code is a mess but the unit tests are perfect? Even if somehow you could write unit tests that would cover for super bad code (which you can't), it is extremely unlikely that your unit tests would be that amazing.
Dell latitude.
Oh and I agree with both of you and would never go work for NSO. I didn't when they offered me double my current pay (I'm Israeli) and I wouldn't for triple either.

I am just saying NSO is an extension and a tool of the US government and its regional (mostly controlled but somewhat autonomous) colonial ally Israel. So arguing about who gets Pegasus when the US government regulates it rather directly (through the "ethics subcommittee" in Israel that is semi-supervised by the US delegate) is ironic and funny.
Is it similar to PCC ?
The first two of those seem to be for regular Lua, not LuaJIT.

I think the point is not that GWAS can do everything, but that many people 5-10 years ago thought that they had a fundamental flaw - where was all the heritability? It has turned out so far that the heritability is there and discoverable with big enough sample sizes. But of course, you are right that GWAS don't tell us much about the very large space between strands of DNA and social or behavioural outcomes. They are a tool like others. (Mendelian randomization is hardly a panacea - how credible are those exclusion restrictions, usually?)
I think the mistake that many people keep making is trying to nail down a single IFR. There isn’t one.

The fatality rate depends heavily on the demographics of the infected population. IFR of a entirely young demographic would be below 0.01%. IFR of a nursing home would be 3 orders of magnitude higher.

If someone shows me a low IFR I can safely bet that they surely aren’t finding 50% of their cases in their nursing homes.

Conversely, if 50%+ of your cases are in nursing homes, your population IFR is going to look a lot worse than if you had kept that relatively small population safe.
The final total for deaths due to Coronavirus is likely to be in the millions globally now, as it is spreading out of control and most countries have given up on lockdowns. Had it occurred in the conditions of 1918, it's likely millions would be dead already, but luckily we haven't just come out of a world war and healthcare is more advanced.

The one bright spot in this otherwise gloomy picture is that we don't fully understand immunity - NYC for example is seeing very low cases, despite being surrounded by plenty of infection in surrounding states and no travel lockdown - that seems to indicate heavily infected areas might escape a second wave, perhaps due to T-Cell immunity and a much higher infection rate than antibody tests would indicate. It's hard to explain the massive and continued drop in NYC otherwise after very high infection/death rates.

> All motorized vehicles allow people who don't have fast riding skills to go faster than they can control.

Yes, but all other motorized vehicles need a licensed operator and to be driven on a road, which I think should be the case for e bikes as well

> That's easily achievable on a regular bike

That really depends on your definition of a regular bike.

The Japanese commuter bikes everyone rides to work or school might get up to 10km/h with some effort.

Giving someone who has only ever rode at about a pedestrian’s jogging or running pace a machine that can hit twice that is a recipe for injuries or death.

TL;DR: E bike riders should be licensed and not share footpaths with pedestrians

I think he wants it the other way around... Sadly some troll posted his real name here yesterday, so I know it too. I tried and didn't get his blog as a result.

I think if a (potential) patient googles him right now, they similarly won't get his blog as a result. If the NYT associates his blog and his full name, googling his name will surely show the NYT article, and people will follow on to his blog. Which he does not want.

Microsoft readies antivirus for Linux, Android
Kinda feels like age of the people may have been a factor here. Segways do require good reaction times and constant awareness of your surroundings because they don't stop (even when stationary they have power to the wheels keeping them balanced, and if you move they move) and it the tour guide thought anyone was too young, old, or otherwise not capable to control the vehicle, they shouldn't have let them go out in public.

Not saying that was the only factor, it could easily have been the tour guide not giving adequate safety instructions or simply people ignoring those instructions... or a mixture of all three!

Ask him to explain in full detail how the flushing mechanism of a WC works. Then ask him if he uses any alternative solution he understands better.

It’s possible to do, don’t get me wrong. For example, QEMU[0] does hardware virtualization.

Having said that, performance is not the same.

On the other hand, there are builds of Linux that are ARM. Windows also has ARM builds[1] and they also have a translation layer to run x86 applications[2]. This is done in software, so there’s a performance hit[3].

There are comments elsewhere in this thread that complain that they do harm the user experience.

For example:

"I [...] generally very much appreciate the lack of [deleted] a la reddit." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23623158

When I was in the Israeli army, I personally saw a phone being hacked, info being pulled and the info being used to stop a terrorist attack targeting civilians. I was not involved in the hack (I served in the navy).

In that particular case (but not the majority of cases) the target of the hack was an Israeli citizen who was practicing terrorism (against the Arab minority). After their info was intercepted they were arrested and the situation was de-escalated.

Tech like this saved lives that day. I don't think it justifies the freedom cost, but let's not forget real lives are saved by tools like Pegasus.

The difference with Singapore probably has more to do with how (a) face mask wearing was and still is compulsory for everyone at all times outside of their homes (the fine for not doing so is the equivalent of $210 USD), and (b) every single government-run community center in the city had free reusable face masks available for months for anyone who didn't already have one.

Ask HN: How to Break into IC (Integrated Circuit) Design Field
With Apple switching to custom Silicon and also AWS with their Graviton2 ARM processors, I think we will see more companies start making their own custom chips instead of using general purpose ones from say Intel. I have a B.Sc in EE and took classes in VLSI Design, Computer Architecture, and Digital Circuits.
What will you say is the biggest step to take to break into the field at my level?
The federal extortion statute, most specifically 18 USC 875(d), seems quite applicable here: “(d)Whoever, with intent to extort from any person, firm, association, or corporation, any money or other thing of value, transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication containing any threat to injure the property or reputation of the addressee or of another or the reputation of a deceased person or any threat to accuse the addressee or any other person of a crime, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”

Bribery, on the other hand, under federal law requires that the person being bribed is a public official, outside of special provisions relating to sporting contests and port security (separate provisions, not common to those two circumstances.) Well, and one other inverted scenario involving Members of Congress, etc., bribing private entities by using official acts to sway hiring decisions on partisan political grounds. But nothing that seems applicable to the kind of thing going on here.

at the time, lots and lots of scripts would place things in /tmp/scriptname-$PID so you could race them, since you can know where it will write things, other scripts would use PID for random which is equally bad, especially for things that run from rc scripts at startup, so I would say "nothing was gained" is a bit of a stretch.

After a while, mktemp got more usage (which is good) and $RANDOM became available for scripts and so forth, but the situation was quite bad 20+ years ago as far as vendor installation scripts went.

Perhaps exactly noone was saved on OpenBSD because few installed linux-compat Netscape 1.1N for i386 with a bad installation script while having adversarial users logged in, but there is no reason to be equally bad as the then-more-popular OSes who did see /tmp races being won by users.

A confused idea people have about AI: that the goal is to make a computer that thinks like a human. There's not much point in that: we have 7 billion humans, and making more is cheap and fun. At least for now, AI is interesting when it complements, not substitutes for, human intelligence. We want Google to be able to search a billion web pages. We don't care if it can't make a decent cup of tea.

Singapore’s actual death rate is also a much more reliable number than New York’s. The NY criteria for recording a Covid death has been pretty much anybody who could have potentially been infected at their time of death. There are some other confounding factors too, like SG infections being primarily among young people, and NY state discharging Covid patients to nursing homes. But none of that explains the monumental difference in death rates between SG and pretty much the entire rest of the world. The virus is certainly far less deadly than most reported statistics would have you believe.
What about using your data to send you malware and to steal money from your bank account for example?

I've had to use safari on Mac. Sites are constantly trying to auto download dmg files (executables on mac) of malware. The most common ad is saying your mac is broken and needs to download an antivirus (that's fake and trying to get you to download a virus). Top google results for "download vlc" or equivalent search is pointing to fake websites distributing malware.

All of this is the result of ads, analytics and mac detection.

I've tried to setup ublock origin on safari but apple blocked safari extensions and doesn't allow to replace safari fully with another browser.
That looks pretty good. What's amazing (but also a little disconcerting) is the fact that this seems to be pretty much entirely developed by one dude.
I haven't looked too deep at the code for this (stupid shared cache…) but yes, it's easy to see that this is just a repackaging of the resource load statistics database (~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/WebKit/WebsiteData/ResourceLoadStatistics/observations.db), which has historically been populated using the notion of "prevalence" and "tracker-like behavior" that has been described by the many WebKit blog posts. Looks like there's nothing new under the hood, and no specific singling out of Google Analytics.
It seems like an obvious win, but Apple are terrible when it comes to building web services. They don’t have the capability to pull this off in-house and they don’t seem willing to bring in leadership from their competitors to improve on that front.
