I am concerned for the mental health of our young men in this country. This incident reminds me of A Clockwork Orange, not that this is in any way comparable to fiction. I don’t know what the answer is.

> Facebook announced Tuesday that it is removing groups dedicated to the Boogaloo extremist movement one month after federal officials alleged the anti-government network’s adherents used the platform to plan the murder of a federal agent.

> The social media giant said it removed 220 Boogaloo Facebook groups and 95 Instagram accounts that violated its policies against organized violence. It said 400 additional groups that were tangentially associated with the movement would be taken down, too.

> "Today we are designating a violent U.S.-based anti-government network as a dangerous organization and banning it from our apps. This network uses the term boogaloo but is distinct from the broader and loosely-affiliated boogaloo movement because it actively seeks to commit violence," a Facebook spokesperson wrote in a statement.

> In May, federal officials alleged that Steven Carrillo killed a federal security officer during protests in Oakland, California, against the death of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police. Carrillo allegedly plotted the attack with a man he met in a Boogaloo Facebook group and aimed to use protesters to "support our own cause" of a second Civil War.

> Several self-professed "boogaloo boys" have been arrested in recent months, charged with crimes including the murder of law enforcement officers and planning terror attacks at Black Lives Matter protests.

> Carrillo was apprehended a week later shortly after killing a Santa Cruz County deputy in an ambush and scrawling the word "boog" in his own blood across the hood of a car.
No... One can still pursue in court for damages that occurred before the cease and desist letter was sent.

Sorry I am not entirely familiar with the intricacies of the British class system. My point was more about the British class system having upward mobility. Hindu caste system has none. A dalit doctor is still the lowest caste and all of his future generations will also be lowest caste. While poor farmer brahmins will call themselves highest caste.
Excellent article, I just hope that's kind of stable... every time I look into the JS it feels like I've never looked into JS before.
Have you taken a look at Doom Emacs? I liked Spacemacs, but I found Doom more performant, as well as not abstracting too much, which allows you to slowly learn Emacs as you go.
Apparently only a subset seek to commit violence, but I think they’re banning all that are associated with the former maybe? Very unclear from context.
American Football too. Yahoo also helps with this. I'm waiting for someone to fill the Sunday gap now that Redzone is off sling and youtube TV is no longer worth it.
I read a blog of a fresh grad describing ‘this’ keyword in JS. The conclusion he/she had by the end of the article was ‘don’t use “this” keyword unless you are JS expert’.

I always see a pattern with these things. Usually if you don’t learn the language well enough, you probably are also not spending enough time learning the frameworks well enough, and you probably are not learning the DOM/Browser well enough, and you probably have not learned CSS well enough. You will have no choice but to hide behind the frameworks.

The people that just learn React or the latest ES6 think they know good enough JS, but when I see their code I see clear patterns of poor abstractions, separation of concerns, the kind of code that makes you want to take a shower after touching it.
I guess the IP addresses used by VPNs will get a lower trust factor for a number of reasons - the material accessed and actions performed will differ to the behaviour of someone not using a VPN, as most people choose to use VPNs only some of the time. Also, some people use a VPN for abusive purposes such as spamming or trolling and this can affect the trust level of the IP address and associated range.

I find the combination of a VPN and private browsing causes problems when browsing the internet, but using a VPN and my regular browser profile doesn't really differ, so I guess that means I can be tracked in that way.

My theory is that as more people start using VPNs for regular browsing this issue should start to diminish, as the good or neutral actors will begin to outweigh the bad actors and therefore improve how those IP addresses are seen in isolation.

The other way that could go of course is that VPN IP address space is permanently tainted for as long as it's used for that purpose in order to make browsing the web as unpleasant as possible for VPN users to force them into the happy path of letting their activity be spied upon by their governments.

It's disingenious to frame like the public paid for the whole research. This articles talks about 70 million dollars in public money invested. Bringing a drug to market has a total R&D bill on the order of billions of dollars.
Ask HN: Why don't you use formal methods?
I'm interested to gauge what the prevailing opinions on formal methods are amongst "software developers at large", specifically those outside of academia or of companies with serious R&D wings.

Some specific questions I'd be really interested in hearing answers to:

* Have you ever used formal methods outside of your professional life (e.g. in personal projects, in a previous academic career)? If so, what methods did you use, and what did you use them for?

* Do you think your professional work would benefit at all from the use of formal methods? Why/why not?

* Have you ever used formal methods in your professional work? If so, what methods did you use, and what did you use them for?

* If you have never used formal methods, do you perceive a significant barrier that prevents you from using them (applicability issues aside)? If you have used formal methods, do you see issues which prevent widespread adoption?

(I mean you specifically; I've read some of the many articles which give varying explanations on why formal methods have never taken off in the mainstream.)
Can that be worked around by having extra backups with only non executable files? Like txt, png, cpp (but without compiling and running)?

inotifywait is a user-space program that borrows it's name from inotify (because it uses inotify) and when using the -r (recursive) flag it sets up multiple inotify watches to work around the very problem I just described.

In fact it's man page comes with a big fat warning about using -r:

> Warning: If you use this option while watching the root directory of a large tree, it may take quite a while until all inotify watches are established, and events will not be received in this time. Also, since one inotify watch will be established per subdirectory, it is possible that the maximum amount of inotify watches per user will be reached. The default maximum is 8192; it can be increased by writing to /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches.

(ref: https://linux.die.net/man/1/inotifywait)

Really what would be nice would be for Linux to support this natively so we don't have to resort to dirty hacks.
> I would say Vim isn't popular at all.

The fact that most popular editors and IDEs (every one you mention) have VI/VIM plugins suggests otherwise.

It's (usually) not the editor itself that people find appealing. It's the key bindings. It's the fact that you can navigate around a file without reaching for the mouse.
Op, did you even read the article? It says the police raising a new signalling flag as a warning. It has nothing to do with anyone possessing a flag and being arrested.
I worked on a site targeting an Indian user base for a bit, and in order to be allowed to operate in India, we had to partner with an Indian company that basically had veto power over any part of the process.

I think this is a smart strategy. Keep in mind, India gained independence in 1947--there are people alive (although not many) who remember India being a colony. Indians are very aware of the post-colonial activities of Western powers in Africa and South America, and have good reasons to be worried about cultural and economic imperialism. By maintaining tight control over what foreign businesses are allowed to operate in India, they can limit what power foreign nations have in India, keeping wealth and influence firmly within their borders.

Americans like to think that we're the benevolent leaders of the free world and that we've always been a great help to people in other countries, but this is not the case. From assassinations, funding coups, embargoes, and direct invasions, the US has not always been a positive influence on the third world. India is right to be suspicious of American businesses in India.
Remdesivir was developed with public funds. Shouldn't the fact that the public shouldered the risk of development be factored into any of this?

what is meant by “easily-grasped” in this case, and why is being this type of person good? I.e. why would it be good to have a skill that anyone can easily grasp?

(I’m sure it’s mentioned in the book, but I couldn’t help but ask anyway :])
Easier: if they build the frame for the sphere first, then added (gigantic) panels one at a time, a part filled with panels might have moved into our line of sight.
Open source software works because it's easy to use. Start including limiting clauses and you'll need lawyers to figure out what you can and can't use. Even then, there's still the chance that downstream the package will still end up somewhere you didn't intend. Which is why the current model is popular and this isn't.

I love explanations of concepts that appeal to people in new and different ways, and I thank anyone clever, patient, and gifted enough to produce them. The world is a better place when more people understand are not afraid of more things.

But I think it's important to remember that mathematics is not some evil thing! There are people who train carefully so that the terse mathematical explanations are the intuition. There's nothing wrong with not being one of those people, but knocking the mathematical explanation is denying them their intuition just as their explanation denies you yours.

In a word, it takes all kinds, and I think we should all be as patient with others' ways of learning and understanding as we hope that they will be with ours.

There is nothing to stop that under the current model. It just isn't happening.
The phrase "publicly owned" in English implies government-owned (which seems like the German.) I'm not sure that the phrase "public company" is a common one. "Publicly-traded"? Yes. A company "going public"? Yes. And people would know what you meant if you said "public company" in context, but they might think you were referring to a "public utility," which may or may not be government owned.

Most mathematicians consider the equations for div and curl to be the “dirty equations” while the “perfect mathematical concept” is the exterior derivative of a 1-form.

Hero Transition in SwiftUI with MatchedGeometryEffect
As far as I recall, this was written in the specific historical context almost a decade ago. Back then "Lean Startup" and "4 Steps to Epiphany" were all the rage in Silicon Valley. Shitty copy cats of YC were springing up left and right in the Valley and other locations. A number of people (with a lot of financial self-interest at stake) were pushing hard the narrative that creating new unicorn can be industrialized like a factory and they already figured out the magic formula - no risk, all reward - just sign here under the dotted line and give me your funds.

The essay publication was quite impactful in middle of that insanity. It uses Gödel analogy to demonstrate that no amount of formalization (that helps reduce human/team/org risks) will in any meaningful way reduce the systemic risk of a new startup. It placed Gödel formalism straight on the path of hustler/carpetbaggers who were trying to launch new funds and incubators at that time "well, go ahead and prove to your LPs you have Gödel-like formalism that detects great startups at an early stage and you do it better than YC".

Right now most of the essay conclusions are self-evident, "lean startup" is an insult, so it does seem like the author spending a lot of pages and energy on proving something plain obvious.

That wasn't that clear and that obvious many years ago when it was written.
> Abstracting away the ethical issues of your (elite) employment is a personal choice that is anything but objectively neutral.

Does this apply to doctors taking care a murderer, rapist, [insert felony here]?

Should this apply to the doctor of Yann LeCun?

Should these "personal choices" be valid, allowing the doctors to judge YOU, negating a cure?

You can extend 'doctor' to other professions too, like journalists.

PS: all those professions require to be objectively neutral.

Div, grad, and curl are a manifestation of de Rham cohomology that make use of a lot of lucky coincidences. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Rham_cohomology for the formal definition (in which curl becomes the exterior derivative from 1-forms to 2-forms) and https://web.ma.utexas.edu/users/a.debray/lecture_notes/idea_... for a nice exposé.

Sorry to hear about your experiences. It sounds frustrating.

I think there's some miscommunication happening here. The line you quoted is specifically regarding the person conducting the interview looking for signals to provide feedback to the person being interviewed, not the other way around.

I would not recommend providing feedback to your interviewer unless they explicitly ask for it. It's likely to just become a clash of egos, and if the company is larger then it's likely the interviewer doesn't even have much power over the process anyway. If you're being interviewed and hate their process and/or the way they communicate, the best thing you can do is politely inform them it is not a good fit, remove them from your list, and move on.

I have hundreds of experiences with small merchants, and it’s definitely a fair assessment. With chip and pin (at least in the US), there is no risk of chargebacks and the money gets transferred in at most 2 days. Total cost of accepting debit cards is minuscule, unless your a kid running a lemonade stand.
Great answer, and very interesting stuff. Thank you!
It's all too interesting what is happening in the region. Some say he's going back Ottoman empire with his entire navy and claiming pieces of Cyprus to the disliking of Cyprus and Greece. While also performing enormous military exercises under the guise of Mavi Vatan, which also bears symbolic reference to their history.

Meanwhile Erdogan is set on keeping the steady flow of immigrants coming for as long as he's the gate holder, the EU will bow to many of Erdogans demands.

Concurrently Russia is said be rerunning the USSR book and is desperate in acquiring more territory.
For as long as I've lived I can recall the USA being somewhat the voice of reason in these situations but USA is too occupied with their own stuff currently.

I think theirs trouble on the horizon as Erdogan and Puttins position become more and more unsustainable with the citizens of said countries being more and more unhappy with them.
Faster evolution is indistinguishable from cancer.
my reasoning was : you could have mapped caps lock to ESC but you did not. So maybe you are using CTRL too much (CTRL-V maybe?) which is not the best way to use vim.
I don't think you're getting the example of left-handed scissors; try something like adaptation for red-green colourblindness, where you can't really train around it. Although that's physically based, which is going to be a distraction in the analogy; try the reported observation that some dyslexic people find Comic Sans easier to read.

Or trousers. One size does not fit all.

Or the people discussing the intuitive representation of Maxwells' equations themselves: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23700295 - not everybody likes the equations, some people like pictures for a better understanding, but the equations-first people may not understand that.
I agree with your frustrations around this limitation and think file watchers should do their best to support arbitrary file addition/removal in directories. That being said, the races do matter when you edit with "mammal speed" but use source control to merge/rebase commits that affect your watched directories. Especially in a team setting when multiple coworkers are working on the same directories, git can be blasting rapidly through a lot of file moves, deletions etc so it's not really an edge case.

prior art? https://www.open-austin.org/atmosphere-license/

The Atmosphere Licenses are open source, copyleft software licenses with fossil fuel divestment provisions.

"a similar license that prohibits the redistribution of the software in modified, derivative, or collected work form to any individual or organization that is materially and directly invested in operations or facilities that have significant negative impact on the global climate response, as documented by the United Nations Climate Change Secretariat."

seems a bit more better worded than the climate strike license:

"The Software may not be used in applications and services that are used for or aid in the exploration, extraction, refinement, processing, or transportation
of fossil fuels."
> The author doesn’t know whether there’s causal relation between the possible insult and the plans to control the social platforms.

I don't know--seems pretty clear to me.

“Do you see why we oppose social media like YouTube, Twitter, Netflix, etc...?” Erdogan asked in reference to the alleged insults of his family members. “It is imperative that these channels are brought under control.”

Again in reference to the insults:

"We experienced similar attacks in the past. The lack of monitoring on these platforms have a role in the rise of this sort of immoral behaviour. These platforms do not suit this country. We want these platforms to be banned, taken under control."
Imagine if there were excess stockpiles or capacity what the headline would have been! "Trump's fails to save US population with readily available medication!"

The media...just...suck...

> The Wadsworth Constant is the idea (and 2011 meme) that one can safely skip past the first 30 percent of any YouTube video without missing any important content.

I heard about this a few months ago, and have since checked when the actual content starts in the videos I watch. I certainly can't agree with 30%, usually in 15-minute videos, the introduction is 1-2 minutes before they go into the meat. The bigger problem is all the filler, sponsorship breaks, "remember to ring the bell" etc., that occur at seemingly random points, though I don't think it adds up to 30% filler even if you count all that. Maybe I just skip over most of the garbage.
It’s interesting to see how systemic discrimination takes root. I wonder if there’s an encyclopedia identifying the forms of systemic bias.
