I've written a SuperH and TriCore emulator from scratch (qemu wouldn't cut it). I couldn't do it in JavaScript because it falls apart when it comes to bit-shifting and integer arithmetic. A lot of processors rely on the C-like functionality of int32_t, uint32_t, etc.

>>> 0 in JavaScript just doesn't cut it.
Actually, the First Congress okayed border searches. Given that many of them were authors of the Constitution, it stands to reason that border searches were always intended to be allowed under the Constitution, even if not stated explicitly.

I absolutely agree with this. It's one reason why I love to browse libraries and bookshops, even big-box ones. I browse multiple sections and can just about always find something new that seems interesting that I wouldn't have found earlier. It's also part of what I miss about having access to a quality university library. The amount of high quality non-fiction, across a wide range of subjects, was just astounding and I used to spend hours there just browsing and skimming through books.
The answer is a qualified "yes". Because not only can it no longer participate in multiple inheritance, but it is very prone to misbehaving silently when used in such a manner, even for experienced Python users.

I say qualified because whether or not the bug warrants fixing is another matter. It's more warranted for public-facing APIs than internal code, since it's less practical for downstream users to modify your code. In your internal code, if your team knows about the issue or just avoids multiple inheritance altogether, or if you have some kind of static analysis to check class hierarchies for you, it might be safe to avoid. (Just listing some considerations that I can think of. There might be more.)

My overall point though was just to illustrate one particular example of a flaw that catches even experienced Python developers off-guard, let alone beginners.
Is it banned just because, or maybe it's not following local laws?
A better metric would be view minutes.

YT content length is very different. Also YT has substantially more drop offs than tiktok - it is lot harder to drop off in 15seconds .

Even if these were all equal bottom line is advertisers need to make money, i.e. how many people click on the ads and buy the product, some platforms just fundamentally have different demographics , App Store makes more money than Play Store for example, ads will be priced according to that.
I'm a long-term remote worker. At first it was challenging. After a year of trying to create boundaries, I gave up.

Twice I'd had a 'bad' friday, only to have solutions reveal themselves while I was gardening over the weekend. I realised it did me no harm that my mind strayed to work while gardening, and in fact I was glad of it. So I made a decision to abandon attempts at erecting artificial structure, and quickly realised that trying to impose separations had caused more stress than it resolved.

I found it liberating to stop trying to 'leave work at work', and to not be upset if my thoughts stray to work when I 'should' be off the clock. In return, I stopped trying to block out the rest of my life from my home office. I enjoy a busy life with various community responsibilities and being able to give some attention to these (and family) during 'work hours' is something I value highly. In return I'm happy to perform work activities outside office hours as it suits.

I understand why this won't work for everyone, but for me, trying to set boundaries - which many people had told me was the way to maintain balance - was counter-effective. If anyone is having trouble setting boundaries; consider not.
It is still nice for quickly running something and get rid of it. For instance an ad-hoc script mocking an API endpoint that you can run on an arbitrary port in seconds.

PS: a few years ago docker was not deemed production ready, and people only used it as dev/testing environment. I find it funny that the reverse is sometimes happening, where people prefer running this webserver locally for speed and eventual debugging, while production runs on containers.
That works fine until GPT-3 generates inadvertently generates a bunch of incriminating evidence!
My (poor) understanding of existing compression techniques is that you have to know what frequencies are OK to discard, otherwise the amount of information remains the same. For things like mp3 or jpg, this depends a lot on human perception of sound and images.

Friends

It's really hard to write this, but I'm sharing because I can see that I'm not alone.

I've been working solo for a very long time. Working solo has taken a heavy toll on me in many ways, both good and bad. I didn't want to work alone but the people in my network only had excuses for why they wouldn't work together. During the time that I've worked alone, competitors have entered the market, thrived, and even successfully exited. It has been crushing for me knowing that my vision and market were spot on accurate, and here I am watching others succeed at what I knew was real a long time ago. Yet, they have taken a far more risk averse approach, leaving the holy grail for someone like me. I didn't want to work alone but I persist because working alone on this dream is worth more than not working on it at all. Hope remains. Things are finally changing this year, but it's because I've given up working alone without trying to raise funding. My risk profile has changed during my solo career. I'm not going to fail to fundraise because I'm solo, anymore. I'm bringing strong, modern tech assets, expertise, and validated business strategy to the table. I'm going to crush any reservations that investors will have about me for being a solo founder. The fact that I'm solo is nothing more than one person's excuse for not getting involved. Being solo was a legitimate concern years ago, but it's not anymore. I don't need a founder. I'm a hardened soldier who doesn't need a shoulder to cry on but rather CBT, exercise, and sleep. I have enough love in my life to carry on, and am very fortunate for that. Moving forward is a frightening experience, but I will remain no matter the outcome. I accept my fate and will fight like hell to arc towards the positive.

For the Dune fans:
Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn to see fear’s path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
when does a beginner run into this though?
I've got to call bullshit on that site. It comes up with a "likes porn" tag, claims porn downloads, and has a huge VPN ad at the top. That's seems like sketchy, fake, scareware tactics to me.
> and if you do, those elements will declare you biased, claim censorship, and seek political action. Of course, the other side will eventually seek political action in the first case as well, so there's no winning.

I mean, this may be close to the root problem. At this point, the political atmosphere in the US is charged enough that scientific facts have become a matter of political debate.
Putting aside the embedded beneath the skin aspect (I share your concerns), this concept can actually work - see FIDO2 and U2F protocols. They're actually pretty good from a privacy perspective too, and give you unlinkability between services (as the key you present is derived from factors including the verified origin, i.e. URL, of the resource you're authenticating to).

Clearly the verified URL origin of something in the real world is complex, but there are ways to potentially make this work. Devices might have certificates for a URI, and this URI could be verifiable and convey attributes like the GPS coordinates to within 25m, that you can verify before authenticating. Users could presumably also whitelist certain origins (garagedoor.home.mydomain.net)

All of this apart from the subdermal part actually could work out well - a small number of people already do this via U2F, or even traditional smartcards.
> C would work fine in that case

C also works fine in the case where you understand how multiple inheritance works in Python and structure your classes accordingly though...

I.e. inherit B first instead of A like I showed.
I think it's just called the "flag" button.
Yes zero chance. As a lowly developer, even if I get asked a question directly by the media about something the company did I'm not allowed to answer per the stated rules. I have to direct them to the department of spin or whatever it's called.
It requires you to have a Facebook account. This by definition makes it an inferior product.

I've been buying and selling stuff on Craigslist for years, never had a problem. If you're really paranoid about getting ripped off, do the transaction in the parking lot of your local police station.

I definitely think there is a correct way to write and speak. (I don't always succeed, but I try.)

I think we should criticize Dante's Inferno for being fixated on guilt and being anti-science. If it is hard to understand (I don't remember)--in the sense of intentionally being obscure just to be obscure--we should also criticize in that grounds.

By the way, there's nothing wrong with fixation as such. At least, I didn't intend to use the word in such a way. It's just that I'm tired of the fixation on race in our society. It's fine if people have something new and helpful to say, but most people don't.

P.S. Upvoting you b/c your comment is gray and I think it's a reasonable and helpful comment and doesn't deserve that.
I won't speak to valuations because all of these values numb my brain a bit, but both Instagram and WhatsApp were obviously quite successful at the times of their acquisitions.

It didn't seem surprising at all at the time that Facebook bought both services, many people I knew were using them as much or more for social media than Facebook. Now, the values of course were a bit gawking but I'm sure experts crawled over a lot of their own internal figures and what they would expect out of both services. If any organization had enough social media data to evaluate these services marketability, it was FB.

Market power is a specific term used in economics relating to how much control a company has over the price of a good or service. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_power)

It does not have anything to do with stock market rankings.

Microsoft had a very large amount of market power in the operating system market, high enough that it was considered monopoly power, and that is why they lost their case.
Facebook's public-facing websites are not its product. Rather, the websites are a lure to attract people to be used as feedstock used by Facebook's actual business.

Facebook's actual product is its targeted advertising algorithms that advertisers pay handsomely to exploit. Facebook's advertising product has improved massively over the past two decades.

Indeed, Facebook's advertising algorithms are so good that Facebook should be regarded not as an advertising platform but rather as a rootkit and firmware upload tool for the human mind. Facebook's algorithms are quite capable of making a critical mass of the population believe utterly anything and, if if prompted, to act on those beliefs even in ways that go against their own interests.

What Facebook sells is the ability to control the course of society. That is their business, and they're doing very well with it.
I'm saying you just repeated what he said with more words for no reason. Why are we talking about what affects an arrest might cause? It's not related at all.
Catalytic nitrogen fixation is one of the holy grails for chemists, so papers that get within spitting distance often get a lot of attention.

This paper seems very interesting, but unless I’m mistaken it’s not catalytic and that’s a big caveat.
WebAssembly is basically the latest in the line of Java Applets and Macromedia Flash. Maybe it'd be useful if someone built a tiny wasm emulator for x86 linux stdio binaries and posted it on a google cdn. I haven't seen anyone do that yet.

I'm pretty happy with web pages as a GUI framework. If I needed a desktop GUI, I certainly would not want my binaries to be 200megs with Electron. If we're OK trading away drop-down boxes, wizards, and installers, then it's actually possible to build 10kb static native win32+linux+bsd+mac terminal programs using ape. https://justine.storage.googleapis.com/ape.html

I'm pretty sure that PHP-FPM is a better choice.
It would be interesting if someone benchmarked them
Amazing how they can just “hire 10,000 people”. Impossible to wrap my head around that.
If we were, we would also be talking about a way to read books that the author doesn't make a dime on.

That's not election interference either, at least not unusual election interference for powerful nations, much like we do abroad (hell just look at the 1996 Russian Federation election). It was certainly a miniscule ad spend compared to republican pac spending. The democrats just don't want to admit why they lost: they couldn't convince enough people to vote for their candidate.
Depending on what you mean by vectors, yes. I don't know how it, if at all, it would apply to svg files, but you can absolutely take a vector and take its Fourier transform, and only keep the first few components to get a compressed representation. That is one way to do image compression.
I have experienced a lot more contempt from border officials in Europe than anywhere else, specifically Ireland and Italy.

I haven’t seen anything where the U.S. requires gratitude. Is that a new policy, or just your opinion?
Although I played with DesqView, that was not the menuing system I used to use - It had some monumental name for the day, like SuperMenu or MenuGold 2000 or some such... Internet search not getting any hits that match. Oh well.

Even accepting your argument downthread that the absence of "super().__init__()" here is a bug, this would be a problem that comes from two little magic, not too much! Python requires you to be explicit about this aspect of multiple inheritance, and it sounds to me like you're saying you would rather it be implicit.
Mozilla's Speech-to-Text Engine Is at Risk Following Layoffs
This also means large, economy-driving cities, that thrive because of interconnected social networks will be slower to reopen, while rural communities might have never effectively shut down. NYC will be interesting to watch in this regard. If interconnectedness is the economic driver we think it is, we'll see slower growth until people return to cities.

In the US, there's been some push for more national action around preventing/managing the spread of covid. While I agree that more national leadership is needed, and standard guidelines around reporting and degrees of "open" would be helpful, the US is so diverse a nation-wide lockdown never made sense, and there are enough complicated factors that the decision really has to be made at local levels.
Well, unicode doesn't have much to do with chemistry, or with importance. Those two symbols both long predate unicode (as you'd expect given the nature of unicode).

The reason for the second symbol is that the positioning of the double bonds within the ring is underdetermined (and indeed, doesn't really exist) -- they are in a state of indeterminate flux much like the bonds in a molecule of ozone. The circle explicitly acknowledges that we can't really identify particular bonds as being the double bonds.

A console that hosts an app to fight a global pandemic, is used for payment, flight tickets, banking, web browsing (for some people it's their only access to the internet), navigation, taking photos, calling an ambulance. Other than web browsing, none of the things I listed is done on gaming consoles.
When Zuckerberg mentioned sometime last year, that he wants to make facebook better, and especially wants to make people happy [...] - just think about that. With kind of admits that it is facebook's mission to control your feelings - and no better feeling to convey this idea than happiness.

Which is what everybody wants, right? Large demand - big business.
I worked at Google for several years until 2015 - one of the running inside jokes was that increasing a border by one pixel is a full-quarter project with a PM, a tech lead, and multiple engineers.

It's not like most people would want more complexity (at least I hope not), but somehow it kept happening, and I feel at least some of it is cultural.
Microsoft has been trying to come up with a replacement for NTFS for a very long time. They've had mixed success with trying to extend NTFS with more advanced features like the now-deprecated TxF. There's little doubt that even its creators see NTFS as something of a dead-end. Whether your grandmother is still using it in 10 years depends primarily on whether Microsoft can get its act together to pick and ship a replacement.
A different perspective: If most of the speech is spam, hoaxes and lies, and if as a recipient, I have no meaninful way to detect those, then what value does the speech still have?

So if everyone can say whatever they want (which is a good thing), the recipients must have some tools at their disposal to verify whether someone should be listened to or not.

> If there are going to be limits to free speech, then who gets to set those limits and who enforces the limits?

Denying facts that are backed by the overwhelming majority of scientists would be a good candidate for a limit.
You haven't ever met any of these people, have you.
You can use typedarrays, no? I built a fantasy emulator several years ago, and that was my strategy.
Looking forward to the first gpt-3 version of 'it was the best of times, it was the blurst of times'.
When you are told Trump wants to defund the "Postal Service" do you think that is because he wants to replace it with something better?

"No True Scotsman" - "defund" is changing in an ad hoc fashion.

The Scotsman is the abstract idea of what is "defund"

This is a tactic from the Left, just like changing abortion is a tactic from the Right.

Mark all as false, or don't run around saying ‘no true Scotsman’. I personally don't think ‘no true Scotsman’ is a valid reason to mark something as false.

And I hate the general idea of ‘no true Scotsman’ because the base example in the name is a noun and it's to confusing to apply to ideas.
I usually use https://song.link, but this looks good too.
I'm sorry you're in this "funk". Here are some ideas, I hope at least one of them will help.

1) Have you considered stepping away and doing something totally different for a short time? A month or a year or more? You could consider traveling (even now I think it could be done safely if you're single and do pandemic-safe things like hiking/camping, or traveling to remote places, etc), or getting an intentionally unusual job/internship/volunteer position for yourself (dog groomer, lawn care, flower arrangement). Stepping away and doing very different things is a well-attested method to restart your creative juices. Richard Feynman, Leonardo da Vinci, Henry David Thoreau, and others did things like this throughout their career.

2) You may need to consider some psychological reasons, and therefore psychology solutions, to your current situation. You reached one of your goals (having an automated business). Sometimes when a person achieves a big goal it can lead to a depression. One of the reasons is that (consciously or not) they expected achieving this Big Goal to solve all their problems and to fulfill them, and when it doesn't it leads to depression. There are other factors that can lead to depression in situations like this, but that's just one example.

3) Experiment with different lifestyles/philosophies. Take a month or two and try to live very minimally or maybe live in a monastery (hopefully one with somewhat-compatible beliefs as yours). Or live lavishly. Just try to shake up things here. This is kinda similar to #1 above.

4) Consider picking up a hobby and really digging into it. This is kinda related to #2 above.

I feel for you, and I really wish I could help you in some meaningful way. I have a family and they keep me from getting too sucked into video games and/or numbing myself. It sounds like an uncomfortable and even scary place to be. Good luck.
For reference on what teletext is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletext
Filesystems have never been standardised. In mainframe/mini days manufacturers supplied a selection of OS options for the same hardware, and there was no expectation that the various filesystems would be compatible between different OSs.

Which is why we have abstraction layers like Samba (etc) on top of networked drives. They're descendants of vintage cross-OS utilities like PIP which provide a minimal interface that supports folder trees and basic file operations.

But a lot of OS-specific options remain OS-specific, and there's literally no way to design a globally compatible file system that implements them all.

This isn't to say a common standard is impossible, but defining its features would be a huge battle. And including next-gen options - from more effective security and permissions, to content database support, to some form of literally global file ID system, to smart versioning - would be even more of a challenge.
Please don't. It's only going to start a religious flamewar.
I work at Facebook and we have a bi-yearly satisfaction survey. Trust in zuck's management is probably the highest metric, up there with agreeing with the global mission of the company (which is to connect people). I'd say he's one of the strong reason why people stay in the company even with the non-stopping bad news cycle. Don't think that what you see outside reflects what really happens inside. What I personally see inside: all of the issues that make the news are discussed openly, privacy issues are addressed on day one during bootcamp, and addressed weekly via trainings, zuck answering questions at the Q&A, communications, etc. What people tend to forget is that Facebook is a pretty large company, due to its scale, and it only takes a few fuck ups to end up with a bad news article. While I realize that we need the public scrutiny to keep ourselves honest, it also seems a bit disconnected from what is truly happening internally.
The trap I fall into is thinking about whether a solution 'ought to exist', disregarding the reasons why it doesn't already.

There are lots of tools people on appreciate when they are gone, and getting people to pay for them takes a much better salesman than I'm used to having available.
So you’re saying ai needs to be grounded to the real world to be effective?
>...it was very under the radar in the US until Facebook paid what seemed like an ungodly sum ($12bn) at the time.

Facebook paid a lot more than 12 billion:

>...When Facebook announced its plans to acquire WhatsApp in February 2014, WhatsApp's founders attached a purchase price of $16 billion: $4 billion in cash and $12 billion remaining in Facebook shares. This price tag is dwarfed by the actual price Facebook paid: $21.8 billion, or $55 per user.

Not odd at all. Just very, very successful propaganda.

The coal industry's astroturfed anti-nuclear campaign in the 1960s and 1970s has warped thinking on this for generations.
