> Overall this seems to be a rather obvious result. "Popular people are more likely to have their pull requests accepted"

That is not the result at all; they are leaving social factors (follower count etc) aside to specifically examining the personality traits, and have rather counterintuitive conclusions;

- Firstly, personality seems to matter, significantly

- Neuroticism correlates positively with pull request acceptance [1]

- High extraversion doesn't increase the likelihood of a pull request being accepted, but low extraversion does [1]

- The personality trait differential between the requester and closer is important; the larger the gap the better [2]

[1] "In sum, we observe requesters who are high on Openness, Conscientiousness, and low on Extraversion have a higher likelihood of getting the pull request accepted. Similarly, a closer who are high on Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and Neuroticism accepts more pull requests."

[2] "We also noted the absolute difference in personality traits between the requester and the closer results in positive effects, suggesting that diversity in personality is beneficial in open source projects."

Java on Visual Studio Code Update – August 2020
Welcome back to the August update of Java on Visual Studio Code. In this update, we will focus on performance improvements and project management. On to the update.
I have been struggling with this right now. I am not good enough nor experienced enough to figure out things on my own (to get to senior engineer). I feel I just need some guidance or push to get to the next level. But it's so discouraging to get no support from my management. And other folks around me also keep saying that depending on management to support me in my career growth is not a good idea. I feel it's ridiculous and distorts my image of the role of management. I just have to accept that good managers/management is hard to find.

Anyway, it's kinda good to know that it's not just my company/team that seems to have this issue.
You should see some of Citron Research's stuff. Absolutely amazing.
Love the project, ready for the KickStarter!

I don't think you need to patch iTerm2, by the way. You could use a Trigger [0] to do it, or a python script [1] if you need something fancier.

Good ideas, and maybe add some easy starters: This is how you use php‘s framework laravel, this is how you do reverse proxying to nodejs.

The crucial part for me would be that every of these examples will be done with the old Caddyfile and the new json format. With enough samples you would get a good feeling on how to transform these caddyfiles to the json format.

How to Install Golang (Go Programming Language) in Linux
Thank you, that is one of the clearest descriptions of the events leading up to this that I've seen. On the surface it seems to be blatant provocation on the part of Epic the outcome of which should have been no surprise to anyone.

If I were a customer of Epic I think I'd be pretty pissed that their actions caused me to lose access to my purchased content.
It is literally the fourth thing mentioned in the linked documentation.
It should be a real defense for mentally ill people that have conditions that make them somehow less culpable for their actions, regardless of wealth.

I wouldn't be surprised if Holmes is a sociopath, she perpetually has a classic crazy person bug-eyed look that you only get from being constantly on coke, being a fanatical religious nut, or from being severely mentally ill. Additionally, in public she purposefully talks 100% of the time in a laughably fake deep voice that she thinks makes her sound more masculine and powerful. There's a podcast where she accidentally broke character for a couple of seconds and sounded like a normal woman. The rest of the time she sounds like Kylo Ren. That's supposedly another thing that sociopaths do.

Its crazy that so many smart people fell for her con. She was obviously a creepy, random lunatic trying really hard to pull off a Steve Jobs act. As a layperson it seemed pretty obvious that the technology she claimed to have invented was probably impossible. Shame on anyone that's actually in the medical industry that bought into it.

And then there's her criminal actions, the lying, and the complete lack of remorse.

Unfortunately for her pretty much no civilized society thinks that sociopaths shouldn't be held responsible for their actions. So unless she convinces people she has an unrelated mental illness (which is what the article makes it sound like she's trying to do), its not going to be a good defense.
My nostalgia is for Ed Ricketts' version of that at Pacific Biological Laboratories in Monterey. Sort of a low-brow early California take on it.

"The lab became a meeting place for intellectuals, artists, and writers, including Bruce Ariss, Joseph Campbell, Henry Miller, John Steinbeck, Lincoln Steffens, and Francis Whitaker."

If you ever make it to the Monterey Bay aquarium they have Ed Ricketts' bookshelf, including a copy of A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake.

Why is that the better idea? What if it is hacked/DDOSed, or something?
I use both Reddit and HN. HN has much better content (both links and comments), but it has a singular focus on tech/things tech people generally like.

On the other hand, there’s a subreddit for practically every hobby. In many cases, Reddit is home to the largest community related to a hobby. Sometimes things related to my interests outside of tech pop up on here, but the discussion is rarely in depth.

just really love this part,

But while most organizations have backed into this setup, GitLab's all-remote, asynchronous work style is a highly intentional undertaking that Sid Sijbrandij, the company's San Francisco-based cofounder and CEO, is promoting well beyond its virtual halls. The pandemic ushered in "the first wave" of remote work, he says, "where people just take their existing processes and transplant them online." But he's focused on the beast-mode model, where you're not just moving processes that worked in a traditional office to a digital framework; you're rethinking the framework entirely. "The next wave," he says, "will be taking advantage of what remote can offer."

I'm speaking of the readability being not that bad.

Accessibility arguments you're pushing here and elsewhere should have been brought up much earlier. I'm responding mainly to the "ridiculous!" outburst. (e: OK, no exclamation, and a more charitable reading will have me withdraw "outburst.")

> if the text would lack that, it would have been a completely unreadable wall of text.

Yet, in its form, it is more readable and coherent than most of what gets pushed out these days, even with proper capitalization. If anything, that is ridiculous.

With this shifting, I would like to take my leave. Be well, and good night.
For years we've been hearing how AI will build robots and wipe out humanity and the bollocks that is the trolley problem. I remember when I was reading the Unsupervised Cross-Domain Image Generation[1] paper and my immediate thought was "yep, I can see this going south". And sure enough, not long after deepfakes became a thing. GPT-3 is absolutely astonishing in terms of it's capabilities and I'd love to be able to dig into it's inner workings and scroll through it's code. The truth is there are three stoppers for the large majority of people who would love to exploit it.

1. Data. For better or worse obtaining a dataset that big isn't a great deal if you really want to. Gutenberg project, wiki corpus, the reddit dumps - difficult but definitely doable.

2. Costs - training the model costs $5M which is a considerable amount of money by anyone's standard(rich people will also have a second thought when they hear that number). But there is a catch - the hardware is becoming more and more accessible. Remember when a server grade GPU like P100 was ~10k a piece? And now the high end 30X series are 1/10th of that and have better specs... Adjust those numbers and you get something close to 20x price decrease in the course of 4 years(iirc p100 came out 2016).

3. Finding the people with the adequate knowledge to build something like this. This I think is the only blocker at this point. Realistically we are talking a few dozen people on earth that have the mental capacity to build something like this.

If there is one thing that I see as a potential threat in this field: information losing credibility.

This article is incredibly well written and rings true to me and my experience being in a similar role / working with people in such roles.

I like the notion of articulating a career path in tech as of:
1) Learning the ropes
2) Being a producer / writing code / driving design decisions
3) Being a multiplier - working across different teams to unblock / amplify other peoples work

3) is pretty much communication centric, while 2) is deep knowledge of tech involved

There is a lot of nuance to that of course (which I think this article captures well within specific organization). I'm curious if this is something any one else has the same experience with
Thanks for the precision. I did not know it was the case. Indeed you have to use Firefox Nightly to use Krabby... But if no verification is made on add-ons, does it mean it is easy to have them signed? It seems rather contradictory that a add-on has to be signed only to end up with a banner that warns it might be harmful but still can't be distributed elsewhere. It's like you want a store like everyone else but you don't have the perks of a store. What's the point then?

I'm not a lawyer, but I guess a committee (don't ask me who or how many) should evaluate the 'justifiability' of a crime:
Let's suppose:

- random kill, no reason at all, psycopathy: 20 years in jail

- justified kill: 5 to 20 years in jail

I remember the dad that killed the Karate's instructor of his son, who was raping him during 'classes'.
The dad killed the guy. For many people, it was a kill and he should be in jail. However, put yourself in his shoes, wouldn't you do the same (or near the same)?

In this case, you couldn't say: "oh, that's ok, just go home, we'll sort things out", because a crime was committed.

Maybe, and I'm being extremely naïve here, maybe, that could act as a deterrent when people are thinking on committing unjustified violence against others.

Again, I don't know nothing, I'm no lawyer.
Yes. And it was implemented relatively widely e.g. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19205-01/820-4379/index.html which IIRC was published before 2010.
Hmm no I'm pretty sure in a template it's, ok I'm going to use different variable names for clarity:

3 + c => d

the left hand side (3 + c) is b, and the right hand side is (d) is a, and this will apply no matter what you put on those sides, so it's rewritten in its entirety before the actual compiler sees the code.

Unless you're talking about a scope violation/dirty macro situation? And yeah I don't know Nim's story around hygiene either, but: it's usually only a problem with Lisp macros, exactly because of the homoiconicity. I'd wager Nim templates have their own scope that won't shadow the rewrite.
At risk of being too pedantic even for HN, I have to say that a news article written by GPT-3 isn't "Fake News". Maybe you could called it "artificially authored news" or something, but nothing about synthesizing and regurgitating words is inherently fake. "Fake News" is a loaded term that fact-checkers tend to avoid for its ambiguity. Generally its usage refers to disinformation, which is the use of media to intentionally deceive the reader for political or social motivations.

Its terrifying to imagine artificially authored disinformation, but from my sparse understanding of GPT-3, it wouldn't be the right tool for crafting novel disinformation without a lot of inputs for its user. Disinformation is dangerous when represented as truth by platforms with credibility, and no content creation tool can garner and wield credibility on its own. That said, it could certainly wreak havoc with mass commenting campaigns and such.
In Italy to this day the line about trains running on time is spoken with reference to lower class trains. So no matter what the fascist regime wanted to improve, the propaganda was about _all_ trains.
> Remember we're comparing to async/futures, which are not really guaranteed to not starve either. At least with thread pools you can, in theory, manage this well.

With async/futures you're giving the runtime control over these decisions, whereas with threads you're managing them yourself, which can be an advantage but only if you don't make errors with that manual control. An async/future runtime can know which tasks are waiting for which other tasks, letting it avoid deadlocks and a lot of possible priority inversions, and the async style naturally lends itself to writing code that's logically end-to-end (on a single "fiber" even as that fiber moves between threads), which means there's less need to balance resources across multiple thread pools.

This is an ad, not more not less?
I see this a lot, but don't understand. Arduino is just a dev board with a socketed Microchip AVR ATMega32 microcontroller, which costs $2 (Digi-Key or Mouser in USA).

You csn get clones in volume -- the whole dev board etc -- from China for $2 each in volume. Though recrnt restrictions on China suppliers is a headache.

I haven't tried creating my own large run of a product based on Arduino, but I wouldn't go into production paying for a retail-boxed Arduino.cc dev system.
How do ruminants add nitrogen to the soil?
I don't get the confusion

1. Most sites are blatantly non compliant, see opt-outs (presets). For example if someone from covered regions does a search on Google right now it presents them with 2 buttons, 'I agree' and 'See more', the former is pre-checked to enable tracking everything, the latter leads into a labyrinth of settings. Not even an opt-out everything is presented (itself non compliant, but still). It is presented everytime, unless they sign up for a Google Account and/or download their browser extension.

This is definitely not how private by default should work.

2. The EU created a stick big enough in theory to go after anyone, yet they refuse to do so for years. Indeed, we are probably interpreting those numbers differently. They are a slap on the wrist at best and anchoring the discussion at the wrong point. For example in the above case the potential fines for Google could be up to ~$6B yet the listings do not add up to $60M, that's two orders of magnitude.

As it stands, GDPR achieved very little so far to protect the average user. Tracking is as bad and invasive as it has been for years.

Musings on the Impossibility of Testing
Assuming an up round, dilution causes you to own less of a company on a percentage basis, but the actual dollar values of your shares will be worth more. If things are going well (which is admittedly rare, and the lightning you’re trying to bottle) dilution just makes your piece of the pie grow somewhat sub-linearly to the overall equity value creation, but certainly isn’t making it negative.

I find it much easier to reason about equity comp on a per share basis rather than a percentage ownership basis (and frankly don’t understand the constant advice to try and think about it on a percentage basis - though will always happily share that with job candidates).

Additional equity grants are what can make up for dilution, not additional cash comp. I also believe that cash and equity are fundamentally different types of compensation, given for different reasons, and are not particularly fungible. I always try to make equity as comprehensible as possible, but the reality is that it IS complicated - and worth spending time to actually understand because, while there are ways to get misled, it’s also the path to wealth creation.

To me, this makes the law more apt to an analogy of genetics than of software. Laws are the genes of society. They're expressed differently under different circumstances, they're prone to degradation by way of malnutrition, and can create confusing and contradictory messaging pathways.. and when removed from the mechanism of apoptosis, it becomes indistinguishable from a cancer.

It's not specified at all because there is no such matrix - the e_i are vectors, not scalars. At best it's a convenient mnemonic abbreviation for something decided on some other basis; that's like saying that the gradient is 'specified' by the 'vector' ∇ = <∂/∂x,∂/∂y,∂/∂z>.
