Here's Jerry Grey's article, the man seems quite sincere if you ask me, it should be linked considering the author both contacted him and criticises the piece in question for the first few paragraphs.

He's providing his first hand view and it's hardly blindly supportive but simply questioning the narrative pushed. It's a good read.

She does actually link claims later on, work done by an ASPI researcher, as an Australian they present themselves as some independent think tank when they are mostly funded by the US State Dept, American defense companies and weapons manufacturers.

Ironically we only found this out due to political interference laws aimed at China which forced them into revealing this.

ASPI is unique in that politicians across the political divide are jointly concerned about their influence and constant desire to draw us into this battle between our greatest ally and our biggest trade partner.

Personally think Australia should take a Switzerland approach to China's rise and the tensions between two nuclear power, our entire economy depends on them and there's not many others to fill the void, scarily US farmers are exporting more pork and beef to China which was typically our biggest market, for all the tough talk the states will eat our lunch here.
I know that in practice nobody at AWS reads customer secrets and if someone does, it will be logged somewhere but I always find it funny that you can encrypt things in AWS with secrets fully managed by AWS. It's just a checkbox to check the box for encryption in technical requirements but it doesn't really matter if you really care about privacy when the keys are stored in a very safe box accessible by AWS and the USA state (patriot act).
The feeling of gender dysphoria is not a pleasant one. Coming to an understanding helped me rationalize and address my anxiety.

Ultimately, gendered stuff is all around us and it is not so easy to "just not bother".
It's complicated to rely on natural barriers as they change too, for instance some parts of the border between Croatia and Serbia were drawn to follow the Danube river, but the river bed is ever-changing as water finds new ways - creating meanders and river islands - so now we have some areas in-between the two countries where ownership is disputed. Some guy even tried to declare a new state in one of those areas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberland
How well does that work? (The micropayment system.)
Poor choice of acronym. Please change it, there’s a reason no-one else has used it.
I mean... have you heard of ansi escapes and utf8?
you can underline, bold, italic, color, and some other stuff with escape codes, and use box drawing characters to make nicer UI like <hr> equivalent lines or, well, boxes, there's also hacky ways to use utf8 characters as alternate fonts, such as fraktur characters (you can search up fancy text generators for the hacky character sets)
YaCy calls it “P2P Mode”: https://yacy.net/
In many languages you can do whatever you want with parameter names because they’re an implementation detail. In Python it’s always been frustrating that perhaps a less experienced developer can rename a parameter “inside the function” and break calling code that happened to refer to the name. (And since it isn’t static/compiled, how long after the change will you see this break?)
I hate Safari, but Apple here have really good opportunity to step up. With opening Safari for PC and Android and at the same time improving Safari along, they could cut quite a share from Chrome and stop this nonsence.

But they seemed to dithched focus on web platform as it is still such mess for both users and developers, so meh.

Chrome for me is done, using it only for PWA.
You just used the word “simply” in the same was as you used the word “just”.

The argument GP was making is that what is obvious to one reader may not be obvious to another. So using the words “simply” or “just” or “obviously” does not add information, except to signal that you feel the reader is ignorant if they are not aware of what you’re explaining.

My PhD advisor always crossed these words out of my scientific writing, and I think it was a good change to make.
I can't help but note that Intuit, who profits off of complexifying the "simple" tax code, cannot see the complexity in their "simple" test automation framework. Conway's Law strikes again.

Yes! I worked at a startup with an E3500, around 1998-99, and those machines took forever to boot. Nice hardware though. I think ours had a whopping 512 meg.
Ask HN: Whitespace in US politics for socially liberal and fiscal conservative?
For example, someone who largely agrees with the left on police reform, universal healthcare etc. But, then be tough on illegal immigration, reduced immigration levels, and be business friendly.

Is there a whitespace for someone to seize the argument from both Sanders and Trump voters.
It's also inconsequential when people say that planes are a lie from the fake news media. Science works whether or not you believe in it. Elections, not so much.

If people just decide not to believe the results of an election, then democracy falls apart.
You’re severely underestimating the benefits of collective coordinated action. You just need to look at today’s plutocrats and the decades of relentless lobbying and investment in promoting the most self-serving policies and politicians willing to execute them. You can’t find a better example of how effective it can be.
To follow up on lightgreen's comment, in arijun's own linked-to URI they specifically mention the new level of indirection right away. Indirection is not "free" at all. For very large dict()s in main memory/DRAM it could be 2X slower. A hot loop benchmark where the CPU can perfectly predict its near future work and its prefetcher can mask DRAM latency may not reveal this, but a less "simple" benchmark would.

The primary point of the ordering feature (and insertion ordering) is because Python uses that very same dict implementation for language features such as keyword args {def foo(\\kwargs)}. Changing to hash-order from "source code"-order can be confusing.
I wonder if studying gender affirmation among cis people wouldn't help to solidify the science behind transitioning and well-being. With presentation of gender being as much of a spectrum as gender itself, it would stand to reason that there are cis individuals who experience dysphoria by way of not physically presenting as as masculine or feminine as they feel themselves to be (waves).

Non-clinical avenues are somewhat more open to them in a way that they aren't to trans folk (e.g., diet and exercise), but I wonder if hormonal supplementation for the express purposes of enhancing gender identification (rather than to correct a clinical deficiency or for birth control) could be beneficial.

EDIT: The great thing about suggesting that cis people might experience gender dysphoria is that it pisses off the transphobes AND trans folk. Anyone looking for an edgy stand-up routine, have I got a subject for you.
Looks really interesting. Nice approach and interesting featureset. I’ll have to keep an eye on it.

Currently, it seems to be lacking documentation on how to embed and interoperate with C++, though, so have no idea how easy it is to get working (especially AOT vs interpreted and interop with templated C++ code).
I’m optimistic and think they’ll get some other funding, when the money starts to dry up.

There are some companies that probably have a strong interest in google not controlling the web entirely. Though it will be hard to replace that revenue entirely.
Rents are down, so that will eventually attract people back. A supply and demand problem in the classic case.

Office buildings can be converted to housing in the short run.

In the long run, in-person offices will probably beat distributed teams in many industries, like finance where small margins produce results. Especially since Goldman Sachs probably likes to discuss strategic plans like destabilizing national economies in private and in person.

Near-tautological cycles of real estate appreciation in high demand urban centers have prevented addressing major glaring problems, so a correction to the demand curve and valuations may enable zoning reform in order to get people back to the city.

Finally: why would anyone move to Phoenix with looming global warming?
How does this apply to eBay or Newegg? I've written about how we've lost a lot of smaller independent websites and everyone has to have a store on Amazon/eBay/Newegg/Reverb these days:

https://battlepenguin.com/tech/the-death-of-the-mom-and-pop-...

I imagine this wouldn't affect eBay since it's clearly a site where you are buying from a seller. eBay is more of a newspaper listening. But what about Newegg or Reverb which try to create these tight models just like Amazon so you're not always sure who exactly you're buying from? Newegg even does the "sold and shipped" by newegg (it's not clear if these are actual products from newegg inventory or if they are leasing warehouse/inventory pipeline like Amazon).
By multiple reports, most of the Servo team was laid off (apparently sourced to former team members on twitter). See, e.g., https://www.zdnet.com/article/mozilla-lays-off-250-employees...

I'm working in an architecture for a semi-decentralized, some-of-the-web crawler and search engine to try to address some of the problems with Google.

Basically affinity groups maintain lists of links (sort of like social bookmarking) that are the crawl root urls. Crawling comes from Common Crawl plus updates for recency. Groups can pool resources to run their own indexes and receive a share of the profits from text display ads.
Have others noticed this kind of "revolt against cities" attitude lately too?

I do wonder if people consider the huge advantages city living can provide?

I'm reading constantly that current dream is buying a plot of land in the middle no where, signing up for StarLink and growing watermelons while trying to work a full time engineering job.

The thing is though, this is all just a temporary thing, even if this pandemic meanders on for another 3-5 years. It's nothing in the course of history.People will still go to cities because the best opportunities, education, entertainment and social scenes will exist there. People who live in cities will have advantages and children will want to move there from the country to be with other young people.

I'm not saying that there aren't advantages to the country lifestyle, I've spent time in rural areas too and had plenty of family who lived, I understand the romantic allure of it.

But cities were popular before this, and they'll be popular after this too.
You can blame Google for a lot - however I believe if it wasn't about Google someone else would dictate the game.

Are you proposing that we don't do anything about a specific problem because there may be other theoretical problems?

That's like saying, "If this guy in this dark alley doesn't kill me now, a heart attack might eventually kill me, instead; so I'll just stand here and make it easy for his knife to find me."

NYC has taxed the wealthy very aggressively to pay for cultural entertainment (to keep the wealthy) and social services that help reelect the politicians who set up this system. Clearly there will be changes coming.
Are you sure?

Intel makes both CPUs and GPUs.

AMD makes both CPUs and GPUs.

nVidia would make both CPUs and GPUs.

What would be the difference?

Actually, as long as there are a number of arm design licensees, the situation would be way better than it currently is for x86: beyond Intel and AMD there is basically no other player in that field (Via? Transmeta? are they even noticeable?).
He wants to be an absolute monarch, ruling by decree, rather than a President, working thru a process. His entire business experience that has led him to this point.

I'm not convinced that legislation, created by politicians who are unfamiliar with the internet, will break up Google and transform the web in a good way.
No, you're not. This is the consensus in tech. Well, at least in the infosec community, this opinion is held by the majority. For example, Bruce Schneier is an advocate of paper ballot for 20 years.

Something strange might be happening to do with a very local effect - maybe a couple of large employers permanently went remote first resulting in a temporary blip.

It is obvious from the charts that something unusual happened in SF. But that is different from it being sustained, not about to reverse or even important. The dust hasn't even finished rising from COVID-19 yet, let alone settled. And it isn't even clear this is COVID-19 related.
> You would not "confirm" the beliefs of an anorexic that she is fat when she is not.

That's true. Because we have scientific evidence demonstrating that this is not an effective treatment. The reason why this is not a meaningful analogy is that we have scientific evidence in the opposite direction for transitioning. It works. Medicine does not operate on analogies and gut feelings.

Yep! I chose it as the domain’s total character length is 4 (when visible in a browser obviously, not in punycode form) and the recycling symbol felt appropriate for url shortening. I hosted it on Bitly (hence you see a Bitly landing page if the short url doesn’t exist).

I don’t use it as much anymore because of the previously mentioned Unicode filtering some sites use, like HN.

Helping the homeless is a huge chunk of the city’s budget. I could see an argument that it’s not being spent on the right things, but the idea that city voters don’t care about the situation really doesn’t make sense to me.

"After reading the article, I had a strong feeling that the author is probably selling related drugs and has a financial incentive to classify everything as trans symptoms."

For the record, this is just totally false, Zinnia does not sell drugs (do you mean HRT? That would be illegal in the US without a medical or pharmacy license).

"she's calling herself "adult demon anti-cis pro-trans activist" elsewhere"

Pretty sure that's a joke.

"they published in the "highly prestigious" journal "Federation of European Neuroscience Societies and John Wiley & Sons Ltd" which allows anyone who is willing to pay the fees to publish practically anything."

Wiley is the publisher, not the journal. The journal is the European Journal of Neuroscience. I went and checked, and I can see no evidence that this journal is predatory or doesn't meet normal academic peer review standards.

"their working definition is based purely on self-reported feelings after the fact and, therefore, unsuitable for any scientific analysis."

Most things in psychiatry (depression, anxiety, etc.) are based on self-reported feelings, does that make psychiatry "unsuitable for scientific analysis"? Heck, there's a whole academic field about the economics of happiness, which is obviously subjective:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happiness_economics

"and you can see that their paper was rejected in the first round"

Requesting revisions does not mean rejection, it's a normal part of academic peer review.

California is big enough and the scope wide enough that Amazon will most likely have to address it for the entire country. I doubt we'll see some items taken off listings in California but still available in Texas. That would open up a whole new can of poop.
Essentially the FROM part calculates how many of each item has been sold today and then uses this amount to reduce how many are currently in stock (the UPDATE and SET parts).

Exactly. The other thing the current system does is that it involves LOTS of people. The people counting a specific polling place may only count 1000 votes. They know their count. They can talk to the other counters at other locations. So if your state or area all of a sudden miraculously goes blue/red, you can know it instantly and have the paper to prove it. This is the beauty of the system. It can't be hacked at scale and you have a hard time inserting fake ballots because each location can triple check their reported district counts.

given that some test people might be reading these comments - is anyone aware of a configuration for test frameworks that:
1. lets users opt code out of the testing footprint (I know this is a given), but also
2. monitors opted-out code for being called a certain number of times, therefore meaning it's depended upon, therefore meaning it SHOULD be tested, and gets flagged?

I feel like this would be the way to go to minimize non-valuable testing while allowing you to discover code thats becoming more leveraged and therefore more critical to test.

They run large portions of it as essentially a gargantuan hosting company, in data centers in a few fixed locations.

They buy a lot of dark fiber, and IRUs, and wavelength services from carrier-of-carrier type big ISPs, but by no means do they control the internet.

But they are not in the same business of long distance OSI layer 1 ISP operations as CenturyLink/level3, zayo or Verizon are. Where I would be really worried is if I saw amazon making a serious bid to acquire a company similar to Zayo, NTT, KT, France telecom/opentransit, or Telia.
Why can't I disable it? Shouldn't there be a browser extension that just rewrites all AMP links to the underlying source (if I understand right, this always exists - the page may be AMPified but it's still served from the publisher rather than from Google).

This isn't a rhetorical question, I'm interested to know whether that would work. As I see it AMP can be just as big a problem just by being there by default on Google properties as by being something you, the consumer, can't turn off.

I think it refers to the fact that, if dictionaries do not promise to be ordered but have predictable (and consistent between runs) iteration order (e.g. by insertion order), code can start depending on that.

Some people think that, if code ‘out there’ starts depending on that, it’s better to update the documented API to promise what it actually does.

Having a full size C64 that’s based on emulation I would respectfully like to disagree. First of all the emulations all end up with minor glitches. Second, a machine like the Spectrum Next outclasses most emulator based machines by running all sorts of peripherals from the old days. So this is a huge upgrade from simpler boxes.
