True, but all other brands have sugar as first ingredient and I can tell the difference.
The problem is that math is inherently more abstract than any other topic. It’s so abstract that the vast majority of math terms have no simple, intuitive translation into everyday English. Everything is built upon a tower of abstractions that have developed over centuries.

In this community, we’ve witnessed the difficultly first-hand with the much-maligned monad tutorials. A mathematician would have no trouble understanding monads —- they’re just a matter of reading the definition and the laws. That’s what you do every day when you’re studying math in university. Read some definitions and some theorems, play with things a bit, try to prove stuff, then move on to the next topic.
It's like saying that if you give free newspapers near the metro it is possible that more people will read them.

The only problem is that here they are giving for free "paid newspapers". So, everyone that wanted a paid newspaper but didn't have the money to pay for it read it more times because they were able to steal them.

By this analogy the conclusion adds that the fact that people are able to steal newspapers helps to keep everyone more informed.

Now, please do the same analogy for food.

Degrees of Action Framework: A Guide to Become a Better Leader
> Fox News isn't even a news source — of course they "inject agenda".

You could say that about a lot of places these days.

> As for NY Times I don't feel see any agendas in the titles, am I missing something?

In the first case they're both covering the exact same story but putting the opposite spin on it. Trump recommends that people wear a mask but then he often doesn't wear one himself.

He says he doesn't wear it when he's only around people who have already been tested, which could be true enough but I suspect a big reason is that it impairs communication. Human communication is lossy and full of redundancy to compensate. If you don't quite hear something but you can see their lips moving you still know what they said. People say as much with facial expressions as with words. But not if you have a mask over your face.

Trump's primary job right now is communicating, so "get Trump to wear a mask whenever he's talking to the public" becomes a priority for anybody who doesn't like him, because they have a plausible-sounding line about him setting an example, so it's a win-win for them -- either they paint him as reckless for not wearing a mask or they get him to wear it which impairs his communication. The media writes a hundred stories about it a week. Fox is only even covering that story to try to defend him, the others are using it as a political weapon and they know it.

A mask also reminds everybody of the pandemic and a pandemic is always going to be bad for the incumbent. Which is the issue with the other story -- not the contents but the priority. Trump has been wanting to reopen the country, so reopening problems in some places are bad for Trump, so that's their top story. Important things happening in Hong Kong right now. I think there's some BLM stuff going on too.

It would be one thing if this was an anomaly, but it's consistent.

The Times literally has a thing on their site right now called "Meet the Supporters Trump has Lost."

Nitpick: I think you update a UI. You would improve a UX. Try reading the words out in full. Also UX is a terribly misunderstood term from what I have seen - I would tend to clarify meaning using different words.
GraphQL is nice (we use it in the issue tracker we're building [0]) but I think some proponents get a little over zealous and make some untrue statements about traditional "REST" APIs.

Like this:

> These two classic REST flaws force REST users to always get the full payload in response & hit multiple data sources separately.

That's simply not true. Nothing stops you from building a boring old JSON-over-HTTP API that supports filtering. I've done it lots of times. Also, there's nothing that stops you from getting data from multiple sources. Anyone's who build anything with microservices does that every day.

What GraphQL does is standardize the way these things are done and by doing so allows libraries/frameworks to make doing these things incredibly convenient.

So yes, GraphQL is cool, but the rhetoric needs to be dialed down a bit.

> Why is this a problem today and it wasn't one 10-20 years ago?

Our entire lives are now handled online, which makes cyber crime much more rewarding. Businesses rely much more on the internet. On top of that, cryptocurrency makes it way easier to monetize compromised systems, either via ransomware or via crypto miners. Malware has simply become much more lucrative to criminals.

>>> IMO the better question is why the hell attackers targeting macOS haven't been doing this until now (if we take their word for it).

They've been doing it for a while. Mac has been since the platform with the most malware since the past year or two. It's outclassed Windows.

Adware is more widespread (changing browser homepage, injecting ads, paid popups), I think it makes more money on a regular basis than bricking laptops.
I gave quite a few statically-compilable language a try a few years back before settling on nim as my "fat binary" language of choice.

D was a contender, but ultimately the reason I dropped it was I was unable to compile a hello world on my laptop. Now, that machine is not fast, but it is actually pretty new, it's a very low end 2017 dell machine, and it turned out that bootstrapping a D environment requires a midspec machine or it literally cannot complete.

I donno man, D seems to have a "last 5%" problem. It looks good on the surface, but as you start looking into it you discover that the bootstrap tools are fat as hell, the core library has a weird split in GC styles, the doc is inconsistent. Everything you do in D is 5% harder than it needs to be, nothing is buttery smooth. Overall, all those 5% multiply together to make it a 20-30% worse experience overall, although I couldn't point at any one thing and say "that is what has killed D".

Yes. That would be a good place to start.
This is extraordinarily normal C code. I’ve worked with several large code bases that look like CPython code. Heck, a lot of Linux looks like that.

It really speaks more to the failure of C++ than anything about CPython. C++ is so much more than C with objects, and all that extra is what folks don’t want.
so, essentially you blew privacy because of favicons? favicons??
It’s your duty as an employee to shut up for your company. I didn’t learn this until later in my career. Fortunately it didn’t have lasting impact.

By commenting on an ongoing PR crisis without consulting management, you are both undermining their ability to respond in an effective way — imagine how strange it would look to see a “Hey, X from <company> here” after an existing one was already posted — and you’re acting on your own rather than in a team. You’re a part of a team; how could you think it’s a good idea to act alone?

Of course, I am talking to my former self with this comment, since that’s exactly what I did at S2 when working on HoN. It was a mistake, and I gave the community the wrong impression about the company’s priorities.

You have to understand, when you’re given money to do a job, you’re not given authority to become that job. Just because your job is getting beat up on social media doesn’t mean you should just jump in and go “Hey, that’s not true!” It doesn’t matter whether it’s true. Here, let me pretend to be DDG:

“Hi, Shawn from DDG here. You’re right; this was an oversight on our part. Obviously we dropped the ball on this. To clarify, we were unintentionally gathering the data as a side effect of our favicon service. <some technical details here>. We’ll be acting immediately to reverse this, and we’ll be enacting policy changes to ensure that user privacy — our core mission — is maintained going forward.”

But that’s not what they said. And if you’re gonna tell the community the opposite of what they want to hear, you’d better be in charge of the company’s Telling The Community Things division.

It is true that it is simple and gets the job done.

Although they do have positive correlation. Not sure whether it is.

The more downloads leads to more citations(so the paper is seen by more people).

or

The more interesting papers has more downloads(people download papers that are more interesting).

Looks like both way makes sense. Not sure which way is contributed more to the correlation?
The first Apple Airport routers predate MacOS X, so it wouldn’t be crazy for the initial MacOS X implementation to fall back to MacOS Roman as backcompat to routers configured with MacOS 8.6/9. And then if they never changed it since for 99% of users the UTF8 auto detect works fine...
The point is that the paper does not (and can not) distinguish one situation from the other.

Edit: your diagrams are too simplistic anyway. Papers can be read elsewhere. Citations have more causes than readership and its incremental effect will be heterogeneous.
In other words, poor countries are doomed to stay poor if their high-skilled labor is prone to emigrate.

So, perhaps not having all these visas for tech workers is the right thing to do, from a moral perspective?

On the other hand, so-called poor countries could make themselves attractive with low taxes and low cost of living, attracting business and ultimately bringing back those brains.

Google don’t sell privacy.

Anyways, what’s this got to do with Google? “Privacy browser violates basic privacy to do something useless” is actually ridiculous. And the response is even more ridiculous! How does literally every single other browser do it?

I’m disappointed because I put my reputation on the line to recommend DDG to users based on...privacy. But here we see they actually do not hold true to their stated values. And they don’t even seem to care.
What makes this better than GCJ? Also if any of these attempts are promising, why are we still using JVM? Writing a native Java compiler seems like a 20+ year old pipe dream.
This. There are some features I decided to turn off in my car or the battery would just die every time. 70 amp hour batteries used to be way more than enough, but cars today have unbelievable battery draw that manufacturers have not taken into account -- heck my parking brake of all things is power driven. All the battery draw leaves little for cranking up.
It's highly recommended to not allow wildcards in the redirect_to values within OAuth2 for that reason: It's just too easy to create flaws like this one. Additionally on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/deve..., Microsoft itself recommends to avoid them: "Wildcard URIs, such as https://*.contoso.com, are convenient but should be avoided. Using wildcards in the redirect URI has security implications."
Less detailed, but Wikipedia has a nice overview [0] of some things this only glossed over:

> In August 1978, Alexander Achenbach, who describes himself as the Prime Minister of Sealand, hired several German and Dutch mercenaries to lead an attack on Sealand while Bates and his wife were in England.

…

> Germany then sent a diplomat from its London embassy to Sealand to negotiate for Achenbach's release. Roy Bates relented after several weeks of negotiations and subsequently claimed that the diplomat's visit constituted de facto recognition of Sealand by Germany.

That only really works for vehicles of sufficient mass. Physics means the mass of a large engine needs a lot of force to move around quickly in a collision. So car vs motorcycle or full sized SUV vs a Supermini doesn’t work that well.
> they were really pushing server side Javascript as the development language for the web (and mostly losing to mod_perl).

Enterprise server-side JavaScript was the first stage of dynamic web servers that connected to relational databases. Netscape LiveWire, Sybase PowerDynamo, and Microsoft Active Server Pages (with interpreted LiveScript or VBScript) were early. The enterprise software industry switched to three tiered app server architectures with JVM/.net bytecode runtimes. Single-process, multi-threaded app/web servers were a novelty and none of the client drivers for the popular relational databases were thread safe initially.

It took some time for RESTful architectures to shake-out.
This. No matter how tricky the logic is, there's literally no reason to run that code on DDG server's and throw in a remote connection. What the hell?
Everyone has different needs, but having owned pretty much every type of RV available, I'd say a truck with a fifth-wheel is much easier to mange than a coach with a flat-tow car.

A fifth-wheel is easy to backup when needed. A coach with a flat-tow car attached can't back up at all.

And as long as you have enough truck for the size fifth-wheel you have they tow much better in wind and handle curvy roads well.

OP of higher-positioned thread "slamming" the paper.

> And that intermediary position of Sci-Hub means that, in the model described, it cannot possibly fail to be a cause of citations.

No, downloads don't automatically lead to citations. The possible scenario where every single citation came from another channel (arXiv, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, JSTOR, what have you) is entirely consistent with the paper's findings. I for one happen to be a scientist, I don't think I ever cited a paper I downloaded from Sci-Hub, but I've certainly grabbed a few papers from other fields on Sci-Hub; those downloads did not contribute to citation stats at all.

In addition, the paper is trying to conclude "limited access to publications may limit some scientific research from achieving its full impact" by comparing papers available on Sci-Hub to, guess what, papers available on Sci-Hub (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23710992). I really need some solid convincing to accept this leap in logic.

I don't necessarily disagree with the conclusion, in fact I think it's in a way kinda obvious (there should be an effect, however small it is), but the paper's analysis adds nothing to support it. I'm just not a fan of shoddy analysis, whether I like the conclusion or not (otherwise I'd better be a politician or lawyer).
