If we're being pedantic, the Open Source Definition can't actually define what is and isn't open source, they can only say what is allowed their trademark certification. It's like if a there was a food label "natural" that got to put an N on their package if they met some conditions. They can tell you what is allowed to have the trademark on it, but they can't tell you what natural is because they're more of a brand than a dictionary.

In my opinion, which is not based on promoting open-source or protecting a brand, open-source means literally the source code is open to anyone to view. Open-source is like a book that can be opened to look inside. Most of the open source initiatives have little to do with whether or not the source code is open and everything to do with what they want to promote in open-source. Their criteria doesn't even make the free as freedom versus free as in beer distinction.

In short, the Open Source Definition, despite it's name, does not actually define open source.

In Japan you can be investigated by Antitrust and there's no proper definition of monopoly there. The only criteria is "superior bargaining position" which anyone can agree Apple does have today - https://globalcompetitionreview.com/jurisdiction/1006143/jap...

> For Party A to have superior bargaining position over the other party (Party B), Party A does not need to have a market-dominant position nor an absolutely dominant bargaining position equivalent thereto, but only needs to have a relatively superior bargaining position as compared to the other transacting party. When Party A has superior bargaining position over Party B, who is a transaction counterpart, it means such a case where if Party A makes a request, etc, that is substantially disadvantageous for Party B, Party B would be unable to avoid accepting such a request, etc, on the grounds that Party B has difficulty in continuing the transaction with Party A and thereby Party B’s business management would be substantially impeded.
It's unfortunate. As a computer graphics guy, it's fun to name my domains like GLSL variables.

I haven't had any trouble with the big consumer services. Providers like hotmail and gmail let me pass after the first user marked me as not spam, but some corporate filters just blackholed me.
That is a rather long chain of "what if"s to consider, all strung out in a rather linear progression.

Speech is still free. Actions, such as speech, have consequences in adulthood.

And thats the wild thing - even those old social media posts? Can come back to haunt you, making Social Media HYGENE important. Go ahead and request archive sites delete the data after you get the main sites to so so!

This is called "responsibility" in the context of Social Media. You're not helpless here. You're not hopeless. Yes, it is a solid chunk of effort. Yes, there should probably be someone you can pay to do this for you, but I dont think we're there yet.

This is the same effort you should take in response to data breaches on websites you no longer visit - be responsible, clean up your account. The difference? Youre cleaning it up before your stuff gets hacked.

It really is a digital hygene. Mozilla can help. HaveIBeenPwned can help.

With the world and its social norms rapidly changing? The "Cancel Culture" is growing up too. We're all learning here. Even the SJWs are getting tired of digging into long-dead MySpace posts like that, unless they've found someone they consider to already be a threat to human dignity or survival.

Most of the "Cancelled" celebrities? End up making more money from the affair, especially when they refuse to have any shame for genuine wrongs. If only the same could be said for Engineers who learn the lesson on inclusivity/etc from the experience...

Dont get me wrong - nothing is perfect. But there's a lot you can do to help yourself preemptively.

Thats a generalisations you have to look at specific countries which are developed enough to start now and over a period of time other countries with the right mix of resources would benefit and profit aswell. My guess is countries like Kenya and South Africa are developed enough for starting manufacturing. As far as design and knowledge skill is concerned that can be hired from other countries.
The title should say “Java Micrometrics for CI/CD Pipelines”. Because these metrics are all for Java apps.

It’s not clear how the Java app performance is related to the CI/CD pipeline performance, but maybe that’s cleared up after you buy their service?
When India was divided, prime minsters of India and Pakistan [Liaquat–Nehru Pact] agreed on treating their respective minorities well. Without this agreement the minorities[Hindus, Sikhs etc in Pakistan] living in each country could have choose to move to the other[India in this case].

Hence passing CAA is just accepting the fact that Indias neighbors are not treating minorities well as they promised and delivering the promise that was made during independence.
Yeah, this isn’t true at all. The Dropbox 2TB plan is cheaper than any cloud provider per-GB, and the sync algorithm gracefully handles a dozen+ edge cases that a naive pile of shell scripts would not.

I say this as a Linux user and paying Dropbox customer.

Irrespective of the main topic, this citation rings a good warning:

“Jerone Lanier has argued that the belief in scientific immortality, the development of computers with super-intelligence, etc., are expressions of a new religion, “expressed through an engineering culture” (Lanier, 2013, p. 186).”
I'm sure you understand why this sounds suspiciously like a claim that there is no end.

I looked it up. Apparently bits of olivine are embedded in lots of kinds of rock, particularly basalt.
Whatever the criticisms of this paper may be, I get where it and Dreyfus is getting at. Even Hofstader had a lot to say about this but the guy was ignored to hell after his first book itself, I guess he has lost faith in the entire enterprise.

One problem with computer scientists and AI researchers is the level of arrogance that they display about their state of knowledge.

It would have had been good for us to rather engage with the larger body of philosophical work (which has a long tradition of thinking about how the mind works, how meaning and cognition emerge, how such embodied cognition interacts with the world) and then conduct empirical research trying to verify a philosophical paradigm rather than just going at it blindly by sometimes assuming mind can be reduced to logical systems and sometimes trying to simulate a reductionist and incomplete model of neural networks.

I mean Agat, a 6502-based desktop computer developed in Novosibirsk: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agat_(computer)

It was able to run some Apple II software after applying small patches to I/O and video subroutines.
I think if not necessary it's probably the fastest way to AGI, given that AGI includes "common sense" in order to interact with other humans, ala Turing Test.

In order for a machine to have this "human interface", we will have to share the same environments in which we learn, and simulating the real world is more expensive than building a robot with some kind of software AI that together simulate a human. In other words, it's easier to actually use the world instead of simulating it (at least to the same degree of detail, so at least it becomes increasingly cheaper).
This is amazing! Years ago I wrote a script to convert my music library to romaji for my car that would show non-English characters as ?????. So many titles were really just English titles in katakana that come out as gibberish. I had my own hacky exception override dictionary and the script ending up being like 70% exceptions.

If Cutlet had been around, this would have been exactly what I needed.
Yes, it was. Not in the mood for retroblogging yet, maybe 5-10 years later, thanks for the idea)
By "meta", I mean Pinker doesn't talk about the actual issues at hand.

1) One explicit criticism was a stated "willingness to “dismiss and downplay racist violence”". Rather than address the criticism, the article goes into Pinker's meta-discussion about the methods of criticism.

A stronger counter-argument would be to first demonstrate why the criticism is meritless. I also do not know the larger context, but nkurz's point was that this was a good article, and I disagree with that assessment.

2) I don't like how there's a lack of concrete examples of cancel culture. Instead, there's a second-hand argument about against cancelling (without listing those who were canceled), and an argument about chilling effects (without describing which arguments are being chilled - something that Pinker could do by proxy, as he says he is secure in his position).

If we do go into a discussion about "the outrage and pitchfork actions resulting from social networks", then we need to define terms, backed by specific examples.

We have have the Black Lives Matter movement, which have a tragically long list of names and examples of people, which vividly support their thesis that Black Lives have mattered much less than they should.

Terms are important. Is what happened to Kaepernick the results of "outrage and pitchfork actions resulting from social networks"?

Or is cancel culture something that only happens to bigots and entitled people?

If someone quits their job because of public outrage over a legal but distasteful opinion, is that automatically cancel culture?

Eg, if someone is fired for promoting unionization on Twitter, is that cancel culture?

Having a definition also lets us judge how long "cancel culture" has been here. In my own reading of the topic, liberty means the right of criticism, and very severe penalties are the natural result of some unfavourable opinions - (paraphrasing John Staurt Mills there; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23794480 ).

By leaving the details blank, Pinker lets people read into the argument whatever viewpoints they want. Which is why I do not think this that good of an article.

The lack of a real definition is also my fundamental problem with this entire topic of "cancel culture."
Adding to your point

Rohingyas from Myanmar are not similar to Buddhists from Pakistan due to one single reason. Myanmar was not divided from India. Nor has Indian govt made any promise on protection anytime.

Hence India does not have any obligation to people from Myanmar apart from Humanitarian concern. That particular concern is common to all the world. If Europe or US have that concern, I do believe that they can accept Rohigyas similar to how they accepted a large number of Syrians
I think the neighboring thread nailed it. Tacit knowledge boils down to Cartesian dualism, and like the article claims there is something special and unreachable by computation. I agree this is not the case, everything points to our brains being information processing organs.
Yeah, I got my general license a couple of years ago, and was really trying to get into it, but where I live in the SF bay area, there is just too much interference.

I am looking forward to when I eventually move and hopefully have some more electronically quieter spaces. Its really fun and exciting doing digital modes to see how far you can send / receive on simple antennas.

I wrote up some info on on of the digital modes JT65 here:

> "Safari ITP is compromised" is a lie.

Saying that statement is a lie is itself a lie. https://www.imore.com/google-engineer-says-apples-intelligen...

The way that Apple addressed the ITP bugs is in fact a wonderful example of privacy lip service.

> Android Chrome does not support uBlock Origin.

Android allows you to run actual Firefox, which does support uBlock Origin. As a bonus, it doesn't even require you to tell anybody that you have installed Firefox. That is what actual privacy looks like.
> the entire premise is based on the notion that the nations before the US were somehow just and the US was not

No, it’s not. It’s based on the premise that massacres and the legislative dispossession of native lands is wrong. I don’t see why this is a controversial stance

> despite the fact that they were all built in just as much violence and conquering

This is a false equivalency. There was never a single group which built a transcontinental empire, killing, displacing, and ultimately forcing assimilation upon all other groups using organized state violence, all in a few hundred years. The tribal violence in some regions on North America just isn’t the same thing and doesn’t justify the genocide. Even if it was the same thing, it still doesn’t justify genocide. Justifying genocide with genocide doesn’t really make much sense to me

> AWS/clouds aren't always the best solution for a problem.

And when they aren’t always the best. It’s often because you don’t know what you’re doing.

It’s too uncommon for people to over provision. Or go with too many services when they don’t need to.

Like let’s have a database and cache service and search search. When 95% of the time they only need the database because it can do full text searching adequate enough and they don’t have the traffic to warrant caching in redis, and can do basic caching.

They don’t take advantage of auto scale groups, or run instances that are over provisioned 24/7.

I’ve seen database instances where when it’s slow they throw more hardware at it instead of optimising the queries and analysing / adding indexes.

The biggest cost of cloud providers is outbound data. The rest is almost always the problem of the Developers.
Yes, Boston Dynamics and DeepMind should start collaborating.
Yup. You can even buy them for home AC systems. Both of our AC units include UV lamps, and we bought them years ago. And they include whole-home HEPA filters, too.

And our room IQAir HyperHEPA filter units go down to 0.003 microns, which is an order of magnitude smaller than virus particles.

But that only helps you at home, and it only helps you with those particles it captures before you breathe that air. If you’re between the air filter and the virus particles in question, then you’re more likely to be the filter that catches those particles.
Ok, I read that particular thread a bit more carefully:

2017-11-21: mcandre: "Release a working ISO ASAP"

2018-06-08: csekel: "We will be releasing ISO shortly. Thanks"

2020-01-18: piranna: "Any updates on this? It was one and a half years since it was anounced the ISO "soon"..."

2020-01-18: hideout: "yes we are on this .... stay tuned!"

(hideout's last public commit to any darwin related repo dates from 2019-10-14)

I was just surprised to see this on the front page today, since it doesn't look like anything substantial has changed. Maybe something I missed?
This is a great comment. But I think India will force companies to manufacture locally by having heavy tariffs in key sectors/components (which involve Chinese manufacturing), to offset cheaper production costs in China. It may not be a bad strategy for any country wanting to reduce dependence on China.
Can Eskimos be intelligent?

Yes. Why do you think hospitals have HEPA filters in the first place?
Yes, and another big saver would be certain types of heat recovery system[1] that will allow you to recover the heat added to the supply air from the exhaust air without mixing (and thereby polluting) the air streams.

About the Frink programming language
I was going to cite that exact first quote because it reflects my recent experience on Twitter. Yesterday I deactivated my account. Did I have a large following? I think I had 1 follower, I used it to follow mostly artists and programmers.

So why did I deactivate my account? A couple of weeks ago I started following the debate around free speech because classical liberal values are close to my heart and it was like walking in on a car crash happening in slow motion. I just couldn’t take my eyes of it.

In an attempt to regain my sanity and creative thinking I’m going back to reading books and having private conversations with people, preferably in-person.

Edit: HN discussions it should be mentioned are still a bastion of thoughtful conversation which I would like to maintain. In respect to that please don’t make this thread political, my reference to liberal values was only to give an example of a topic largely infected with a negative discussion climate. Original article was more about the dynamics of conversation, not the topics themselves.
First off, thanks for continuing to engage despite our clear difficulties understanding one another.

When I say, allowed, I mean under the moral and social system you are advancing. You propose that there is an obligation to acknowledge and "hear" what has happened. The problem for me is that you seem to believe that it is impossible to acknowledge and hear without caring, or care without suffering. It seems that you believe people have a moral obligation to share another's suffering.

My first problem is that you claim to be in a position to judge if this obligation has been met.
My second problem is that being heard is not sufficient for the speakers to turn the page on the grievances of the past.
Yet this is only one of the points mansioned above...
I have to disagree with you on almost all points. I lived in East Africa for 20 years, and my observation of the African people was that their intelligence was similar to what you'd find anywhere in silicon valley. The problems you mentioned with financial services was solved way back in 1999 and rivals any mobile / cashless system anywhere else in the world, and that was long before things like square came out in the US. Other issues you mentioned such as electricity and water are the reason why you will find some of the most innovative people out there. Rather than complain about their inconvenient lack of opportunities, they think outside the box to achieve whatever they want to achieve. When everything is handed to you on a silver platter, that is what causes lower IQs, and when you have less and are constrained, that is what causes you to innovate. It's amazing to see what some of the makers there make, even the children, when they have very little, or practically nothing sometimes.
HN submissions are often “I found out about this cool thing today and want to share it with other devs”. Whether it appears on the front page entirely depends on whether enough people find it interesting (subject to resubmission rules, of course).
There are quick wins with spot instances and also Fargate. It’s hard to say anything without knowing type of workloads and compute that you have. But there is always opportunity to save there.

Other than that, you should also look at your architecture. Often there is opportunity to save there as well.
Can you share the direct link?
Laziness isn't the essential thing here -- the article's construction specifically doesn't rely on laziness, and would work in a strict language (almost verbatim -- you might need to write "lambda i: f(i)" instead of "f" in a few places).

I'd say that the thing that makes the article's version work is that you can pass a closure to the predicate, which is a channel for communicating extra information that makes it not quite a black box. In an imperative language, you could imagine passing in a function that mutates some state to get information out (or throws an exception, the way you set it up). The article shows that even that isn't necessary: You can pass in a sequence (represented as a function from index to value) that closes over the predicate itself, and recursively uses it to build a bit sequence that satisfies it, if one exists.

By the way, there's a clearer (I think) version of the core idea here that uses conatural numbers (the naturals + infinity) that people don't usually present, but might be worth writing up.
You’re not inspecting the SMTP protocol itself. You’d have to sniff the network traffic between the two points in question.

This is an ephemeral catch-all mailbox that lets you inspect all the headers on mail messages that are received, and once you leave the page, those messages are gone.

Not really sure how useful that is for debugging mail messages. In the 30 plus years I’ve been doing mail servers and debugging mail problems, I’ve always wanted to keep examples of problem messages so that I can refer to them later.

OP should have said "counter-evidence". There is plenty of evidence the brain is basically an information processing organ. It's integrating sensory data that you can interrupt and hack (i.e. visual illusions, ghost limbs), also damaging certain parts reliably affects us in the same ways like going blind or losing motor control.
