Do you mean like attacking members of her own gender when she persecuted her husband's rape victims to protect her own political aspirations? I imagine Juanita Broddrick would have something to say about this?
Yeah. Upper-class social status seems to be a function of who recognizes/approves/endorses you, and how much status they have. In software, status is completely different: Does your code work? Does it do non-trivial things, and do them well? It seems to me that it would be difficult to chase both kinds of status at once; having success at software may make it almost impossible to have social success, just because you're focused on a different goal.

So software people look at status as a game that is 1) pointless (as Nicholas_C said here, "play stupid games, win stupid prizes"), and 2) one that is stacked against you, since you start with no status. Most software types look at that game and say "Why would I bother? I've got better things to do."

There's a lot of this in mathematics education. Unfortunately, a lot of math teachers don't realize themselves the importance of the things that they're setting up in students' education. Having been through the educational process for getting a secondary math education certification, it felt like too much of this was left implicit. Worse still, there were cases like in abstract algebra where students would do exercises on the group a+b\sqrt(-2) without any indication of the significance that this would play later in the algebra course. Heck, high school algebra, I think students learning that being able to solve for x in ax+b=c equations turns into a goal or transforming more complex problems into that simpler problem.
how about this:

The exact same argument could have been made for Blink and WebKit, which didn't turn out to be true.
I would highly recommend "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion" by Jonathan Haidt. He's a left leaning psychologist, and it's basically a PHD level dive into how morality works at a psychological level, with quite a few dips into cultural anthropology. Once I understood how my own moral systems worked and how very different moral systems function, it helped me avoid these pitfalls of negative emotion blocking my empathy and understanding of other people.
We are experiencing an issue with Cloud Networking in us-east1-c and us-east1-d, beginning on Monday, 2020-06-29 07:54 US/Pacific, affecting multiple Google Cloud Services.

Services in us-east1-d have been restored. Most services in us-east1-c are restored except for Persistent Disk. No ETA for Persistent disk recovery as of now.

Impact is due to power failure. A more detailed analysis will be available at a later time.

Our engineering team is working on recovery of impacted services.

We will provide an update by Monday, 2020-06-29 11:00 US/Pacific with current details.

We apologize to all who are affected by the disruption.

Diagnosis: Some services in us-east1-c and us-east1-d are failing, customers impacted by this incident would likely experience a total unavailability of zonal services hosted in us-east1-c or us-east1-d. It is possible for customers to experience service interruption in none, one, or both zones.

Workaround: Other zones in the region are not impacted. If possible, migrating workloads would mitigate impact. If workloads are unable to be migrated, there is no workaround at this time.
And then the site exploded, and it had to learn how to handle things like actual nazis calling for the deaths of jewish people.

I'm not sure I see where the joke is - this was inevitable.
As someone who's moderated a community, this is exactly what things feel like. Especially given that our community has an explicit focus on freedom of expression (and what a thorn in our side that's ended up being)

We've adopted pretty vague rules as a result, with a lot of room for interpretation, and rather than changing the rules often we've just updated our interpretations and communicated them with the community.

It's been a slow boil. But things are different now than they were years ago. Not just because the community has grown but (at least from my perspective) because the tone of the internet seems to have shifted slightly.

We at least are fortunate to have the capability to build tools to identify behavior that might be an issue even without taking automated action. But "I'm not touching you" behavior is sometimes hard to catch when people avoid certain key words, at least until confronted. It's a pain, really.
I'm going to say no. The difference between juggling three and five is so large that unlearning any bad habits is trivial compared to the skill needed to juggle five.

Maybe with a caveat if they learned to juggle three in a circle, which only taught them throws with one hand and no timing at all. Even then, they would be learning a three ball cascade from scratch.

The fundamental jump from three to five is that you now have things which can collide in the air. You are throwing one ball between two others that are airborne. This takes both speed and accuracy and then a lot of practice to discover the timing. Juggling three is so basic in comparison -- only one ball is in the air most of the time -- that there are hardly any bad habits one could have developed. Even if someone were juggling completely "wrong", if they have the ability to make it to five, they surely have the ability to relearn three.
It's really too bad that there are no scalable "proof of intellectual work" protocols for human interactions.

I guess 3301 got things right with the Liber Primus.
I would go back to the beginning, ask yourself "what level of false negatives am I willing to tolerate", and architect the system's reliability around maintaining that rate.

I won’t link it directly for obvious reasons but theDonald dot win.

I just went clicked through and the comment traffic seems real to me. Doesn’t look like bots that i can tell.

Then I clicked an article about 19 child welfare workers arrested for sex trafficking children... and closed it. That’s enough for me for today.

I've had a google account for over 15 years, all of my email is handled via a (paid) google account and migrating it to something else is the kind of nightmare that I've been procrastinating over for a few years

I was in the same boat. I was paying Google over $30/month just for e-mail. I didn't move for years because I feared it would be a hassle.

In the end, I was able to move everything over to Fastmail in half an afternoon. It really was worth it.
I haven't read it for years, but from what I remember it would hold up well. Definitely worth a read.
I always try to go to the site directly without clicking links. It's generally faster and safer than me trying to vet every link I get.
I think the biggest culprit here is the economy. Shareholders and investors don't like it when things just keep working like a well-oiled machine. It means their share price stays stagnant. They always want "more more more" and earnings, not stability and usability. So that pressures management to keep on finding ways of changing stuff for no real good reason even when they have already invented and reached the optimal UI. Search bars embedded in the window titlebar, start menus that change the order of things every time you click them, these all scream "we can't think of anything else, let's just change some stuff around".

A similar effect seems to happen even with e.g. Canonical and Ubuntu. Gnome2 had an awesome optimal UI and 90% of Linux users I know prefer that kind of no-BS UI but "management" wanted that Unity and Gnome3 nonsense just to make it look like they were making progress when they were really going leaps and bounds backwards in usability.
You don't even need to be outside a rural town. I grew up in the middle of a city of 100k+ people, in a county of 500k+, and we were on well and septic because of the uniqueness of our property and the fact that to get on city water required $30k-$40k of combined trenching (to get it to our property from behind the house across the street) and hookup fees.

Across the (small private) road in front of our house, 50 feet away, the neighbor was on city water. To the side of us, across the creek that bordered out property, was a large public High School (which I went to). To the other side of the property was an on-ramp to an elevated freeway. This is an hour north of SF.

That's hardly rural. There are still select properties on well water all around even in cities, it's just not always obvious.
Chapo had actually grown since quarentine afaik.
Pure speculation, but when they switched to "intel" they were effectively locked in, and they couldn't then have some intel and some AMD and some of their own x86 stuff.

Now they're going to "Apple Silicon", it might be ARM this decade and who-knows-what next decade, but it will remain as reliable and fast and blah-blah as "Apple Silicon".
That's good news, thanks! Do you know how many resident keys you're going to end up storing? I'm really suffering with the Yubikey's 25, I'm going to write a post on SSH auth with FIDO2 and would like to be able to recommend SoloKeys.
I was but a wee lad of seven years when my father took me to a closet in our family office/craft room space and gave me a login to a FreeBSD machine running there. He showed me how to use Emacs and mutt—I sent my first email via a TUI.

It's been almost two decades since then, and I still use Emacs every day. I only recently got into org-mode. Boy was I missing out. I felt like a wizard compared to my classmates and peers, but now I feel like I've seriously leveled up.

What motivated me to learn how to use org-mode was a nice solution that worked on mobile. My favorite org-mode client for mobile is beorg [1]. (No relation to the app, other than a happy customer.) For general note files, I generally use Working Copy.

If you'd like to get into org-mode but are held back by the experience on mobile, give beorg a try. You will thank yourself.

I do, but that doesn't change my point in any material way. To act as though Trump supporters are victims of systematic censorship when they literally run the United States is just ridiculous. And in any case, Reddit is not a government-sponsored social media service, and even if it were I very much doubt they would not have provisions for removing objectionable content (given how other government sites work).
Are going to pretend everything in that history section is wrong and they were only quarantined for anti-police comments?

There are literally dozens of crises that the subreddit spawned, literally any of which would have been explained it. The fact we can actually go back on forth on which one of the many many many straws broke the camels back says it all.

You also seem to want to go so far as to imply the only reason other subreddit get away with anti-police sentiment is some kind of hypocritical favortism?
For the same reason they wouldn't call the iPod an "Apple MP3 player" or the iPhone "Apple cell phone"— they're reserving the space for their branding which is not yet solidified.
If you make enemies regardless of what position you take, you are free to take your own position without guilt or additional consequence. Moderators should take positions based on what they personally believe moderation should be (or those deciding the rules for moderators should do so). Just because their position may align with the interests of a particular group does not mean they are caving to that group.
That's a stretch. Conversationally, the implication of your sentence has real meaning - it's not redundant, despite sounding verbally repetitive.
I think your second argument also applies to the first no?
Any technology that is implemented in a major browser, be it JS, Webkit, SQLite has incentives to port it to other platforms. Web developers don't expect 100% compatibility, they are so used to things behaving differently and broken across browsers that it's actually surprising if something just works from time to time.

If anybody was expecting 100% compatibility all the time, we wouldn't get any new standards, and would all use chromium.

I think it was the way you phrased it. It sounds combative. If you had stated it more plainly, people probably would have left you alone.

Also, people tend to get downvoted for starting or ending comments with "lol," as it shows a basic lack of respect for other people on HN.

Oh my god here, is the same qualification near the top of the article.

> One of the problems the two friends looked at was a version of a century-old unsolved question in geometry.

On every Quanta article there's always someone welching about some gotcha they think they've found that just demonstrates how trash Quanta's popularizations of mathematical topics is. But whenever I read the article in question it always turns out that the writers and editors over there somehow manage to thread the needle in making their material accessible without being mathematically inaccurate. Vague, yes, but that's why they link to the research in question because it's a pop article not a journal publication.

You edited your comment to add another objection. It is equally insubstantial unless you dug through the paper yourself and demonstrated that the transformation applied could not reasonably be called a rotation.

I'm not familiar with coedges --- they sound like the darts in the dual map of a planar combinatorial map[1] to me. Do you know if they correspond like this?

In short, a combinatorial map is a graph along with a counterclockwise order of incident half-edges ("darts") at each vertex. This is exactly enough data to record the topological information about how a given connected planar graph is embedded in the plane. They also work for graphs in general oriented surfaces, with the proviso that the complement of the graph consists of a bunch of faces homeomorphic to disks. For example, no annulus faces.

When reading the article, it seemed like what the author was doing was to construct something like a combinatorial map from the purported intersections then use that to answer inside/outside questions. (A graph by itself is unable to answer these questions since it's merely abstract vertices and edges. While the code they use shows the use of graphs[2], the graphs contain the geometric information of the vertex locations, which sort of lets you work with it as if it were a combinatorial map.)

I visited a couple of times but couldn't share my opinion an anything because it would have been in violation of the sub's rules. Basically any anti-Trump comments were a violation of the rules.

There's a bit of irony in an anti-free speech community eventually being shut down by the hosting platform.
This may be the first ban of a sitting U.S. president. Reddit is making history over here and I get to see it. Cool.
Really what they meant to say is, as part of their unending war on conservatives they banned another sub that was conservative and probably had no more hate than any of the typical leftist subs.
BetterWorldBooks.com is the closest to feeling like a bookstore in website form. But overall I agree, I love the idea of trying to capture the sense of serendipity and staff recommendations. It's tricky, since you can't "wander around" a website.

Books are the most human thing we have: they're literally paper bricks that contain peoples' thoughts. It feels like we're missing something to present them online in the same way we sell socks.

Social media companies should not be in this position where they are the arbiter of what is offensive/explicit/hate speech vs acceptable free speech. Despite what they state, they will ALWAYS make the decision that generates more profits or power.

There really needs to be effective legislation given the importance of free speech for democracy. Unfortunately government agencies are so politically charged that I trust them with enforcement even less than social media companies.
Great work! I'm having a blast. I have tried 8th (a Forth that compiles to many platforms), a bunch of Basics, picoLisp, and some others, but using my mobile as a hotspot and coding from my laptop is so easy. I love that you included libPd and Processing.

One error I see: I ran the Date under JavaScript Basics, and it gives the right long string date (Mon Jun 29 2020 13:38:02 GMT-0400 (EDT)), but when it pulls the fields it has a '5' for month.

The title should be updated, as T_D was just one of a large number of subs banned today; even then, it has been largely irrelevant since the admins' earlier decision to quarantine it and impose other restrictions.

Other larger banned subs include /r/GenderCritical (anti-Trans) and /r/ConsumeProduct which was ostensibly for criticism of consumerism and product promotion, but hid a large strain of antisemitism below the surface in a similar though less-direct fashion to previously banned /r/clownworld (barely-veiled antisemitic and racist cartoons/commentary).
Also banned is /r/chapotraphouse, notably the biggest (only?) left-leaning sub on the list. Its users were known to be relatively cantankerous and tended to kick off a lot of brigading on Twitter and such; though some will say its banning was a "both sides" maneuver from the management.

In my own opinion this was a long time coming, and Reddit has long since shown that the original hands-off model is woefully inadequate in the face of communities that are willing to expend the effort to argue continuously in bad faith, organize to influence and control opinion in other communities, and attack the platform itself in their campaigns for hateful speech. Just ask /r/BlackLadies if you think these users "stay in their containment areas". Hopefully Reddit is turning the page to better empower its communities to protect their users and keep hate off the platform.
Actually, that's not quite true. Reddit's first wave of popularity came from a lack of censorship. There was a decryption code posted on a news story on Digg that allowed one to decrypt a bluray. Digg got a cease and desist, took it down, and people started protesting on Digg posting the code everywhere. During this time was the first wave where people started jumping from Digg to Reddit because of the lack of censorship.

The lack of censorship was so bad Reddit used to have a lot of child porn on it and Reddit fought the US gov on it stating it shouldn't have to censor content.

I suspect The_Donald has been shut down primarily due to a lack of moderators. This causes drama to get escalated outside of the sub and the Reddit admins do not want to deal with it. Reddit is still very much anti censorship.
I wouldn't mind if they realise that their implementation is bad enough to be replaced, it would be a win for all.
The implementations would start to diverge again anyways.
The engineering time saved by piggybacking of a working implementation can the be reinvested into improving the fork massively, or into simplifying the design and specification.

Like I said, webkit and blink are the perfekt example for this.

As for the first point. It doesn't really matter if they have their own glue code, all the important parts are shared.
>Any pro-privacy move will be spun as being anticompetitive by the affected parties, until Apple actually wins in court in their first antitrust case.

That would be anticompetitive behaviour with iOS Appstore or perhaps with not allowing browser engines on iOS and honesty I think Apple would find it comfortable if it was for something like IDFA than those.
It was initially quarantined for "threats of violence against police", but they seem to have changed their narrative since, you know, everyone else started doing it: https://i.redd.it/s2pdnningy451.png
So you think people who are fierce advocates of everyone's fundamental rights and liberties would--on net--enable the Nazis? The idea that we still have rabid censorship advocates in 2020 is dumbfounding. How many "heretics" have to burn before people realize that policing ideas is deeply illiberal?

You are free from entities that don't have coercive control over you. If there were no alternatives to the Apple ecosystem to get your work/social life/business done, then you would be correct, we are not free. However, iOS has <20% global marketshare[0].

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you that the App Store needs reform. Perhaps there should be some regulation, that's above my pay grade. Your level of disgust also to me feels like hyperbole.
