Do I infer correctly that by "extremely biased article" you are referring to the reviewed book "A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear", and the "he" refers to the author of the reviewed book, Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling?

I ask because this HN posting links to article reviewing that book, authored by Elizabeth Austin, who is described as a "she", and who appears to agree with your views of the book.

For example, she comments that Hongoltz-Hetling chose "snark over substance."

Austin does not appear to laugh at libertarians. Indeed, she comments "For years now, reporters and pundits have chosen to focus on the style, rather than the policy substance, of the growing libertarian right".

I see several coherent arguments, like the Hongoltz-Hetling's lost opportunity to discuss "one character’s conviction on 129 counts of child pornography" in the context of the divisive topic within the Libertarian party of strong support for child pornography laws.

To me it's like a quiz style of interview, where you're up on a whiteboard trying to answer a series of rapid fire questions. There is little discussion about why you're doing what you did, only a pass/fail signified by a nod or no-nod.

In contrast, a discussion style feels more like they're trying to figure out how you approach some problem, nudge you toward a solution if you're stuck (everyone usually gets stuck somewhere, especially if they have interview anxiety. I know I do), and discuss with you why you did what you did, discuss the pro/cons of some approaches, discuss alternatives, and so on.

The first style is just checking if you know the answers to some list of things, while the second style is more like trying to get to know you as a person and as an engineer.

The drawback of the second style is that it's more time consuming for both parties. Quite tiring as well. However, I think it's part of respecting your time and respecting you as an applicant.

> Vice shouldn't be exonerated but do we live in an "eye for an eye" rule of law?

This is not about the rule of law and the issue is not whether Wu was right to do this; rather that presenting Wu's behavior as worse than the Vice editor's is extremely unfair. Furthermore, the consequences of doxxing for some north american influencer type vs those for someone living in an authoritarian dystopia are quite different. Finally, in one case the offense was arguably perpetrated in a state of panic while the other was done in cold blood so to speak.
Some of these are a little odd. You classify the "Coronavirus pandemic could cause 40 million deaths if left unchecked" as false, with the explanation that though we're still in the pandemic, it will never reach that high.

But the claim was specifically that it could cause that amount of deaths "if unchecked" and no preventative measures were put in place. But preventative measures were put in place? The claim isn't proven false by the current situation since the conditions that the claim was talking about didn't occur.

If I made the claim "If I don't eat today, I will get hungry", ate food and therefore didn't get hungry, I wouldn't say my initial claim was invalid.

They're not? I honestly thought they were a utility like PayPal.

Bizarre that people think they can make big money off it.
The list ought to include more of the correct instances of alarmism, and there are plenty to choose from. As they were semi-predictable events (aside from the exact year and severity), it should be possible to dig up roughly correct warnings about the 1929, 1999 and 2008 stock market bubbles, the rise of Hitler, the threat of a major terrorist attack circa 2001, and the severe health effects of adding lead to gasoline.
While this is in no doubt very useful, it (as you note) re-uses pre-built images that are unfortunately ancient (2013).

The real jackpot still remains out there: a tool with which to actually create those images. Having that would be awesome.

I use tool like vmdb2 to generate entirely new Debian VM images in under three minutes: I have more than a dozen images for my regular Debian development needs (various distributions, various specializations such as buildd-specific environments, etc.).

However, unfortunately vmdb2 only supports i386 and amd64 so far.

There are a ton of tools for automatically building Debian systems [1], some of which can generate bootable images, however they all seem to focus on i386/amd64.

Fully Automated Installation (FAI) in combination with your gist could be something that works. FAI is used to generate most of the Debian images for the cloud providers. So most of the tooling should already be in place.

If you get that to run, I can't say that you will make a lot of people happy, but you will definitely make a few people very very happy :-)

Documenting a language is how you "save" it. When a language is dying out, that means people are no longer learning it, which implies that native speakers are not using it to communicate with their children. One reason for people to use a different language with their children is to give them a headstart in school, where another language is used for instruction, and to avoid the stigma that comes with speaking a less prestigious language. If their own language is closely related to the prestige language of the region (very likely in case of a contact language) it's easy to compare the two, notice that they're different and conclude that the prestige language is "correct" while anything different from it is "wrong". That can lead to extreme social pressure. If you've ever made an embarrassing mispronunciation, you'll know the feeling, but now imagine everything you say is "incorrect".

Language documentation doesn't completely change the social environment, but can indirectly enhance the language's prestige, e.g. by devising a writing system that then gets adopted in education and media and by raising awareness that "different" doesn't necessarily mean "wrong". It also means that children who grew up without learning their parent's mother tongues but want to learn them later in life can use the material collected as part of language documentation for studying.

Last time I ran the numbers at my alma mater, the mandatory meal plans were (in most circumstances) more expensive than paying cash for the same meals at the same dining halls.

There were a few low-end restaurants on campus too (sandwiches, wraps, pizza, burgers, etc) that were both better and far cheaper than the dining halls. Their defining characteristic was that you couldn't spend your dining dollars there.
Some distros include nvidia drivers.
> I don't want to know eventually. I want to know now.

That would be nice, but it's not the choice we're facing. The choice is between knowing eventually (by randomising) or knowing never (with determinism); or alternatively, between definitely finding out at 3AM when there's a production outage, or possibly finding out during testing.

Test suites get run a lot, so even a small chance of spotting cases we hadn't thought of can be worthwhile.

Also, it's much easier to run a randomised test with specific examples than it is to run a hard-coded test with randomised inputs (this is because "randomised tests" are actually parameterised tests, which take test data as arguments). Hence we might as well write the randomised version, then also call it with a bunch of known edge-cases (in QuickCheck-style frameworks this is just a function call, in Hypothesis we can also use the '@example' decorator).

If we go down this route there are also automated approaches to make things easier, e.g. Hypothesis maintains a database of counterexamples that it's found in the past, which it mixes into its random data generators. We can ask for these values and use them as explicit examples if we like.

In my experience writing "randomised tests" (i.e. property checking) is much easier and far more powerful than writing lots of hard-coded examples. I've done this in Haskell with QuickCheck, Scala with Scalacheck, Python with Hypothesis, Javascript with JSVerify and I hand-rolled a simple framework when I wrote PHP many years ago. Occasionally I find the urge to sprinkle a few hard-coded tests into the suite, but it rarely seems worth it.

I believe private lenders require cosigners or else proof of income. I don't see how they can win here. You'd have them discriminate in giving loans based on some kind of lifetime prediction of someone's earnings? I'm sure that would go over well.

Schools need to be the adults in the room, since they getting most of the money after all. And that will only be motivated by having them take the financial hit if students default.
Very good point. (My sample of indian english speakers has obviously been a biased one!) In that case, I'd expect the poor english to continue to see everyone else appropriate their language, and the strength of dialects to range as:

en-us native
en-eu creole
en-gb native

(Is there an opportunity to form a contact language between cmn's 1,1 billion and en's 1,3 billion? Guess we should ask en-sg speakers, lah)
The spheres are an example that we generated to showcase the benefits. It is arguably a little bit contrived, but we think that preserving this sort of relationship can be useful. The experiments in this paper indicate that this is also a suitable perspective to assume for more complex data sets, such as image manifolds.

There's also the option to go for a more local perspective, but in general I would say that preserving connectivity information is important because it aids reconstruction.
Oddly, while Firefox nightly did disable my extensions after the update, Firefox stable has continued to leave them enabled. They're not working perfectly, but they're all enabled. xStyle, tampermonkey, etc are all working for me. The only problem is that they're now impossible to disable, because that entire UI no longer exists (I've got some extensions that do unconditional page modification, which I had to uninstall completely)
There are a lot of things you just can't do well on the web. I'm writing an iPad drawing app that renders using Metal. It barely sips any power, while doing a great deal more work than Electron apps like Slack do.

Exactly. A handful. And everybody else gets pulled into a terrible world.

This is similar to high school sports in terms of percentages (but probably not quite such a terrible adverse outcome). A handful do well. The rest would have a MUCH better life spending that energy on education/trade/anything else instead.
Personally I prefer being on the other end of the expression problem - where extending underlying data (mainly sum types) is the costly operation. Like in Rust, because it actually makes you think about the data model instead of the implementation. Adding new functions is "free" in the sense that it's not going to break your model.

But I'm curious if you don't find object algebras in Java cumbersome and kind of fighting the type system? Because while I like this kind of thing in Scala, in Java it feels very much against the design of the language.
The same model predicted 96K deaths for Sweden, a country that eschewed lockdown measures or mask mandates [1]. The deaths topped at around 6K in Sweden. Sweden did take some precautions like restricting large gatherings but not enough to have an effect of this magnitude.

I did watched tv and movies because I was lonely, because those contained people speaking and interacting.

I never used OnlyFans, but from my point of view, if those using it are mostly lonely guys, then it does not sound that bad. Had they had girlfriends who would objected, I can see relationship issue there.

But other then that, lonely guy using strip porn made by someone who did porn voluntary does not strikes me as massive problem.

many things is: ray tracing, tensor cores (for DLSS), and normal shaders (which is essentially everything).

Even if you don't value ray tracing, DLSS is the difference between playing at 1080p ultra settings, and doing the same thing at 4k.

Now, if you say you don't value Ray Tracing and DLSS, then I'd agree that it makes little sense to upgrade from a 2080 Ti to a 3070 or up. But DLSS is quite useful for any 3D application (CAD, 3D modelling, gaming, ...), and the tensor cores it uses are useful for ML, so if someone is not doing either of these with a GFX, I wonder what do they use the GFX for where DLSS makes no difference. Maybe as a heating stove :D

Sweden political narrative a few months ago was: "we are doing much better than other European countries by doing different."
Then they had to shut down secondary schools and universities, ban assemblies over 50 people, extend paid sick-leave without consulting a doctor to 21 days and no first-day penalty, forbid visits in care homes, and other measures, and yet have a worst death per capita ratio than many countries, including their closest neighbors (and France where the lockdown was too late but effective nonetheless at flattening the death per capita ratio).

Sweden ratio is close to Italy’s death per capita, which is not considered a success in Europe.

The US death per capita ratio is still growing quite fast and will cross Sweden and Italy in a few days, later UK. Hopefully it will not reach Belgium levels…

So Sweden is certainly not a good example. Not the worst (Belgium is so sad…) either. They managed, probably did some things right, as they have now a flattened death curve, but they had a few weeks to prepare and ended up with a similar ratio than Italy.

It's called "industrial policy". The US traditionally has avoided that. It causes huge stress on the political system because it ties industry success to lobbying power. And until recently, the US didn't need it.

The UK did a lot of that in the 1950s through the 1980s, and it resulted in "lemon socialism" - the government had all the declining industries. Coal, steel, and railroads, mostly.

Japan did better, with MITI telling industry what to do, and advanced the country enormously. Until the 1989 bubble collapse and real estate crash, from which Japan never fully recovered.
If avoiding ads is your only concern, then Youtube Vanced [1] does the same as well. Have used it for the last couple of months and can happily recommend it.
