Many stupid policies held by corporations generally benefit another Corp or uphold other community agreement which were often made at the beginning of operation.
I wonder if this risks ossifying API's at the lowest common denominator. Both the numpy and pamdas API's are far from ideal, see for instance the recent developments towards named tensors.
The ML papers wouldn't bother me if they included specialists of the targeted domain to address the obvious pitfall. I've analyzed the figures in the blog post and skimmed the paper and both one novelty claim ((2) A single massively multilingual model spanning 109 languages and showing cross-lingual transfer even to zeroshot cases.) and an "explanation" (Such positive language transfer across languages is only possible due to the massively multilingual nature of LaBSE) can be debunked just by looking carefully at the figures like I did in the past hour. The languages on which they test the things are also poorly selected (6 constructed languages, one duplicate and one macro-lang) which shows clear lack of attention to details and poor understanding of some basic linguistics notions. But hey it's an ML paper, it's from Google and it has BERT in the title so get attention and will be cited even if it's half-crap.
> As mentioned below one must look at deaths per million to get any meaningful insight from the data per country. I probably should have left Sweden out to prevent you from jumping on that specific case.

You're free to cherry-pick whatever data fits your prejudice if that makes you feel better.

However, I hope you understand that garbage in means garbage out, and if you feel desperate enough to grab onto garbage to try to rationalize your prejudice then you should seriously rethink what you're doing, because thinking ain't it.

> Anyway, the measures about quarantine you point out or only just in effect and have no bearing on the spread and then decline, without masks as seen from February/March.

I'm curious to see where you came up with that nonsense.

If you take a step back into reality and look at the facts, you'd eventually find out how Spain and Italy reigned in their daily death rates from 1k to single digits by enacting public health policies that included a mix of quarantines and mandatory masks.
Is the GPL not just as teenager-like with its radical openness? Wanting to maintain your values through a software license feels passive and sneaky and awkward, but that's how we do it. And if you value your labor and the labor of others, in a way the GPL does not, why not write that into the license?
Agreed, theres way too much focus on death rate for under 40.
I've used and love Puppeteer, but it also makes me realize with enough money and the right skills, these tools are exactly what would be used to mass manipulate social media. You could literally create thousands or millions of accounts and add enough entropy to make it undetectable.

I've created a couple scripts to delete accounts, and even signing in can include randomization between scrolls and clicks to make each change entirely unique and to mimic real user interactions. Sort of scary to think about what is possible with this, especially given a large pool of residential IP addresses.
Same here. Its fairly common in the north east of England and parts of Scotland to be known by your nickname.

Quick question: if you were to start a new project today, what would be your choice between puppeteer and playwright?

Haven't worked extensively with them, but it seems to me playwright is the no-brainer now because of the guys behind it (the creators of puppeteer), their experience and lessons learned with puppeteer and also the support for Firefox and webkit.

The Haunted House – Privacy on Google Street View
I tried using Obsidian, but I could not resolve the uncertainty of what should be a separate note file vs several items inside a note file.

I then tried various 'outliner' applications (Dynalist, Roam, Workflowy). With these kinds of apps, there is hardly any friction between document and content granularity levels; everything can be just one big tree / directed graph.

I finally settled with Dynalist [1] -- it recently introduced backlinks and is the far more mature, sleek and feature-rich option compared to Roam.

These protections never really work against people who really want to get data out. Worst case you could just take pictures of your screen and read text back via OCR.

But most employees would never know how to do this and even if, the threshold is high to go to such lengths. Most companies primarily want to prevent users from sending out data by mistake or via malware, since these are probably >99% of the reasons for data loss.

I also dislike companies restricting employees. But I also know people from our IT department and the incidents they have to fight on a daily basis. If you don't restrict your network and company computers, you'll very quickly end up with malware, randsomware, leaked data etc.

Not really a fair assessment.

An auditor's job is often to check if you're doing what an external standard says you should be doing (SOC 2 => AICPA trust principles; FedRAMP => NIST 800-53, etc.).

Unfortunately, these external standards may be written vaguely and while you may have policies that define X as Y, the auditor doesn't have to accept your answers. For example, when PCI requirement 5 says "Deploy anti-virus software on all
systems commonly affected by malicious
software (particularly personal computers
and servers).", your policy may say "antivirus is not required inside containers that run on platforms like GKE, as these are not commonly affected by malicious software." It's very likely you'll have a discussion about your interpretation of that requirement.
And having two computers is just annoying. I dislike when companies prevent me from using my computer for personal stuff (esp web surfing). But if I was in charge, I also think I wouldn't take that risk and prohibit use outside work. The risk just doesn't justify the benefit for the employee.

It's not exactly the same as equality checking, as each has its own uses. You can override `equals` to reflect specific semantics. Say for example you have a non-public ID field for your Point class that is used to determine uniqueness, such that points with different IDs are not equal regardless of their x, y values (maybe not the best example, but the point holds, arguably however, that would be bad practice for records anyway).

Secondly, using equals as per the code you provided incurs at least 3 allocations (1 Rectangle and 2 Points), whereas using pattern matching there are no such allocations.

Furthermore, and probably the main point of pattern matching, is that it allows for "deconstructing" records into variables so that they can be examined individually. I can handle any Point on the x-axis at y = 0 by simply matching against `p instanceof Point(var x, 0)`, or all rectangles with their first point is the origin by matching against `r instanceof Rectangle(Point(0, 0), var p)`, it's much cleaner and clearer than writing something like:

if (r.getFirstPoint().x() == 0 && r.getFirstPoint().y() == 0) {
var p = r.getSecondPoint();
// ...
}

Not to mention once we have sealed types we can do something like:

var area = switch(shape) {
case Circle(var r) -> Math.PI * r * r;
case Square(var s) -> s * s;
case Rectangle(var l, var w) -> l * w;
...
}

Pattern matching has been available in many other languages (e.g. the ML family of languages, and some JVM languages like Scala), and now Java is also gaining this feature.
It's hard to say. Delphix is quite opaque on what they do exactly and getting through requires booking a demo.

From what we have seen, Delphix is very much focused exclusively on large enterprise, and by extension does not look like a tool which is focused on the developer experience (could be wrong here).

We are much more focused at addressing the engineers in businesses - at the end of the day it's developers who will be using this tooling.

Yep, I think ads is just another way of saying monetization. The app has lots of annoying notifications like "You might like...", "You got 100 upvotes", etc which, when you engage with more, they make more money through ads, coins etc.

Your attention, retention and engagement is a lot easier to manage and increase through an app than it is through website.
Reddit's obsession to constantly show me an "ad" to install the app has basically cured me from drifting and spending more time than strictly necessary on the website. I hate it so much that it triggers a negative experience everytime I visit the website and I just tend to watch links shared to me.

Honestly, I thank them for that and I hope they don't remove it.

Multi-national corporation. The auditing department and the ones writing the policy aren't even on the same continent. So it is all internal and "our own policy" in a sense, but so far removed that I might as well be talking to an external bureaucracy. By coincidence we later learned about the contact person within our own sub-org who would be responsible for forwarding change requests on those policies. The auditors themselves didn't see that as their responsibility, even when you explicitly asked them to do so.
Ah, but how many sequences of 3 evenly spaced numbers does the sequence have?
Did they change the EULA? Do we have the info to make that claim?

Even more interesting is I can remember having many a conversation about which headset to buy, always stating avoid oculus because facebook and yet the person buys oculus anyway only to later complain profusely about having a VR headset from facebook. In recent years this seems to be a problem, likely with current generations. Capitalism fails when you don’t exercise your freedom to make smart purchase decisions. If you don’t want facebook to have so much power stop buying them, stop using them, get your friends and family off and make them actually work for their customers.

Wrg to your reference:

One wonders why the "modest tweaks" weren't used in the original paper - indeed because they weren't known or weren't possible.

The way you should interpet these meta-analysis is "researchers are motivated to attribute improvements in performance to 'the interesting bit' and they will run baselines without applying similar tweaking effort to them"

The progress in the field can in some sense be indicated by the huge improvement in the 2006 method due to the "tweaks" discoverd since.
I don't think that's possible in the most generic way. Think about when would you say the Facebook page (post login) is fully loaded.

I had the same experience yesterday. Tried to setup a personal account to access a group and next time I logged in I got the same message about not following their "Community Standards". How is that possible? I didn't even do anything yet! Continued for them to review the ban but I had to stop on the very first step where they asked my phone number since I'll never give them such an information. Now the whole shit is stuck and I cannot even remove my account without giving them my number.

Isn't this just a phishing scam? This should be illegal.

They shouldn't, a notion of rights does not include any material implementation of these rights for you by other people. If you disagree, then please make sure that I deal with Tesla and SpaceX on my terms next week, because I definitely want it.

If you find that Apple acts as an abuser in an abusive relationship, you just cut all ties with the abuser. I've never heard of anyone suggesting a victim that "they should have a right to continue living with that person" or that "there's a right to coerce the abuser into the comfortable co-living with the victim".

Again, free market doesn't imply absence of unfair practices. It implies that there's no force that is able to chain you to the abuser.

To be fair, they probably had to choose between taking risks they previously weren't willing to take (trust in consultants should always be lower than in your own employees in my opinion) but had no choice with Covid. The last months were a matter of life or death for many companies.

And to make it clear, I love home working but I also know colleagues who work without screen protection in public places or leave their laptop unlocked when they are at home and have guests. That's potentially horrible for the company but absolutely unenforceable without physical presence.
I think this must be why they require you to register an account to read reddit now.

Even five stories would let you get about double a density we have today. The typical Somerville home is two full stories and half a third story.

If it were legal to build much taller, though, I do think people would be happy to do that next to the subway stations. Yes, the cost goes up, but people are very interested in living right next to the station.
What's sad is that the mobile app is perfectly usable and it's obvious that a lot of thought and care has gone into it. I feel bad for the people maintaining it.
Monitoring how much they actually use their mouse, keyboard and phone is an obvious one, along with snapshotting their display. I'm not saying I agree with this, but I know it happens.
I used Apollo as well on iOS, on Android I'm using Boost.

I don't think Reddit cares about how you feel about the platform, just as long as you continue to spend half your day on it.

Answer: the higher on the hierarchy you are the less the rules apply to you.

Fun is more than nightclubs. Where I live, I have fun just by walking the streets, admiring the varied and pretty architecture (granted, I live in Poland), seeing the various characters which walk the streets, eating/having snacks at the many food outlets available etc. In a rural setting, you exchange all that for easy access to a lot of nature.
The regulations came into place after Somerville was almost entirely built out. What they achieved was preventing additional building, which may or may not have been the intent.
You can't really know whether a site has fully loaded and is just sending analytics ajax to the server or is querying some random service and will trigger a navigation based on the response, whether there's a setTimeout running somewhere that'll trigger a navigation etc. I've found a timeout to be the safest bet. If onload has been fired and it hasn't jumped in the last X seconds, it's probably going to stay at that URL.

Humans don't know either, they're just better at guessing based on visual cues.
Unfortunately I can't go into specifics here.

Indeed, what amazes me is the implicit distrust so many managers have. Either they have a pretty low opinion of people, or they are lazy themselves and projecting.
