The articles sounds like an advertisment to use Elm. Immutability and value semantic is enforcd by the language and the typesystem is rich enough to allow to use generic data sructures while been statically typed. As a functional language Elm has closures allowing to violate separation of data and code and get non-literal data types, but this is strongly discouraged by documentation, runtime (aka Elm architecture) and tools.
It's nearly always in the fine print of the contract, but enforcement is on a selective basis.
Multi-cursor is actually a better version of search-and-play-macro, not search-and-replace.

The advantage of it is that you can execute the "macro" incrementally and spot early when you've made a mistake, rather than recording a macro then letting rip and discovering, too late, that there was a mistake 80% of the way though, and now you need to undo the whole thing and and try again.

(I use multiple-cursors in Emacs for multiple selections, iedit-mode for live substitution (sometimes in combination with wgrep), as well replace-regexp for plain search & replace, and while they all overlap, none are poor versions of any of the others. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. However it's vanishingly rare that I use macros any more.)

I don't, because I'm sure most state legislatures are even less informed on the importance of online encryption than Congress is. Doubly so if you live in a red state.

Autoplaying (without the possibility of sound) is a feature, It's a huge aesthetic boon to the web. GIF is an entirely different conceptual flavor to video. It's good precisely because people almost never fuck with the fact that it autoplays.
Cool!

Seems like it would be very interesting to see how changing the sample positions per frame and some sort of technique ala temporal AA would do.

Yeah. The culprit is at the end of main.css:

body {

I think this is meant to make it more readable on small devices when in portrait mode, but really the text is too big even for that.

Can't try without subscribing. That's a very odd choice on your part.

This sort of arm twisting works well only for mature products with established reputation or for something that's so niche that people just have to try it regardless of the strings attached. And what you have is... just another charting tool.

If your scheduler knows about data dependencies between tasks, such as in a dataflow model, or maybe an actor model, then you can try to run tasks that depend on data produced by a worker on the same core that the producer ran on, to catch data already in that core's cache.

It looks like Hawking missed the Nobel prize by two years then. This is almost the same like with Fischer Black.
I also left about 2 years ago so maybe not the best to comment but I'll give my biased take. As far as I can tell it's pretty similar to when you left. React is still number 1 and maturing, Vue is number 2. Dependency hell is still an issue in node and frontend. Typescript won, a lot of libraries are adopting it although your average project is probably 30-50% migrated to TS with a bunch of "any"s floating all over the place. Rails & Django are still pretty popular for MVPs, quite a lot of new developments in both. Go is used for a lot of smaller APIs and infurstructure tooling. Postgres is still the go-to. CSS in JS is accepted (at least in the React world). Kubernetes is delpoyed far more than it probably should be. I predict backend is on the edge of "microservice fatigue".

> Damages aren't limited to purely financial. That's a modern myth to disempower individuals in favor of commercial entities

Not really, tort law is very old, and the idea of "actual damages" is pretty well formed. "Reputational damages" exists in libel.

Privacy in English and Scottish common law is .. developing. e.g. https://www.pinsentmasons.com/out-law/news/common-law-right-... / https://www.supremecourt.uk/docs/speech_100825.pdf (the huge transformative effect of the human rights act, which does explicitly contain a right to privacy)

Being surveilled is uncomfortable but making a formal legal argument against it in the US context is tricky. The US does too much social change through court decisions, anyway; this would be far better as an explicitly political argument.
To continue playing with our river analogy: consider a man fishing beside the river, who catches a large salmon. The man is ecstatic, for he is poor, and his family is hungry. Just as he draws his knife to gut it, the fish speaks! It says "Please do not kill me. Throw me back into the river, for I am the Fish King, and I will grant you 3 wishes. You can have whatever your heart desires." Astonished, the man agrees, and throws the talking fish back into the water. He speaks his 3 wishes into the air: to be rich, to be respected, and to be young again. Time passes. The man goes home to his hungry wife and child, hands empty. A day passes. A week. Then a year, and youth, wealth and respect remain elusive. A year after that, the man is fishing by the same riverbank - and remember, this is an analogous riverbank - an analogy for our ancestry - and the man catches the same fish! Or is it? It looks the same, but it does not speak. There is no recognition in its fishy eyes. It just lays on the shore, gasping, flopping. The man decides it's just a normal fish after all.

A typical FTTB ISP providing services to people living in apartment buildings isn't doing a "carrier ethernet", I guess it's more like a datacenter. It just has a media converter connected to a switch or these days a switch with an SFP port per building and from there it's all regular copper and RJ45. In the end of 90s and early 2000s ISPs haven't yet figured out how to do it properly, how to isolate and authenticate customers, at the time there were plenty of hubs and dumb switches with plenty of sniffing going on, plenty of vulnerabilities in switches, a single customer was able to cause problems for the whole network.
When I say I don’t want things to autoplay, I mean it. Please don’t try to second-guess me. I don’t want anything autoplaying.

That GIFs autoplay is unequivocally a bug. Just a well-entrenched one that would take a lot of effort to fix, and no one capable of fixing it seems to quite think it’s worth it.

There are multiple reasons I might not want autoplay: bandwidth or performance concerns, accessibility problems from motion, or even just the simple “if you autoplay, then when I reach it it won’t be at the start of the video any more”.

The meat of the bill is that it establishes a commission (yes yet another, unpaid though!) that will establish and forward best practices to AG Barr concerning child sexual exploitation online. It is possible that one of the recommendations might be establishing a backdoor. In the future that recommendation would then be used to argue for legislation.

Snowden is great, but do your own research.

Edit: I usually trust Snowden as well. I could be missing something in this bill. EFF did not provide specifics. Hopefully someone here can.

Explicitly authorising law enforcement and spy agencies to break the law, and limiting redress against them. It appears to be their response to various ongoing accusations of illegality, such as the "Soldier F" case from 1972 that (incredibly) is still unresolved.
Yes, but not better per se. I would say more adaptive or controllable (which is probably very hard to do). Nature/biology has been doing that by trial and error for years, but it takes time and it is not very efficient.

I am more interested in #2 as this could significantly improve and make robust detection/sensing systems, since viruses constantly mutate changing the binding affinities of detection/sensing systems. My background is in bioanalytical chemistry, so as soon as I read about the commonality of viral spike proteins among viruses that idea crossed my mind.

Definitely, the human body is a complex system. So if you block the viral spike protein of a virus (e.g., SARS-CoV-2), that could have some adverse effects in some people? Interesting.

Thank you for your comments! Very helpful!
> [...] English lacks a governing council [...]

Not only that: just because a bunch of people got appointed by the French government, doesn't mean they have any real authority to tell French people how to speak.

Another example from German: in that language, the experts insist that you 'drive' a hot air balloon ('einen Ballon fahren'). Normal people say that you 'fly' a balloon. ('einen Ballon fliegen').

Which one is correct depends on who you talk to. Literally, it depends on your audience.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballonfahren#Fahren_oder_flieg...
SMS texts and call logs are already accessible, for example. Letters kept have always been accessible.

The fact that they may be accessed by law enforcement agencies in specific circumstances does not mean that they are not private.

If you are seeking absolute privacy for all time, i.e. absolute secrecy, the only option now and since writing was invented is to leave no trace: either communicate face to face discreetly or hand deliver letters and destroy them after reading.

What has changed recently is that we are effectively communicating in writing for virtually everything (even a voice call is affectively "in writing" as it's data stored on a medium) and that the cost of storing those writings has dropped to zero. In addition, and that's the issue, encryption has reached a stage where what I suggested (to hand deliver letters and to destroy them after reading) has become 'easy' and cheap for all communications if you want to, which creates big problems for law enforcement and security agencies.

I think this is a legitimate issue. The level of the debate, for example in this thread, is low and not helpful because, at least in some tech circles, people refuse to acknowledge real world issues and there is an extreme and utopian view than anything less than absolute secrecy is absolutely unacceptable.
I actually only added lighthouse recently, it is a very minor part of the tests.
Everything besides the 'performance' and 'vulnerabilities' tab are custom built 100%. These are:

* Spelling tests and highlighting

* Broken links check

* Structure visualization

* Error/console logs

* Broke resources / images

Lighthouse does have some nice SEO related information that I'm planning to expose in an easier way.

> Same reason why a lot of stealth IT gets implemented.

Honestly, I miss the days of writing VBA macros which save hours of work a week and being sneered at by the 'official IT'.

I worked in a team in a large commercial bank handling reconciliations with various funds. Some of which had to be contacted by phone to confirm the current holdings. We had a system which would import our current positions and take imports in various formats from funds. Somewhere around 40% of the differences where due to trades which had been executed over the reconciliation date. I wrote a VBA script which pulled in all of the differences and identified trades which where open over the period and automatically closed the discrepancy with a reference to the trade IDs.

Another time I wrote a VBA script which would take a case ID and look it up in a diary system (at the time the only way I found to do this was to use the Win32 APIs and manually parse the fields in the HTML from the system), it would then enter this at the top of a spreadsheet which had to be completed. People liked it so much I had to rewrite it so that it would work on a list of case IDs and automatically print out the checklist.

Much more fun than figuring out why Kubernetes is doing something weird for the 3rd time this week.

A lot of big companies have old and crusty leaders / owners, who do not understand the terms of this problem.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this bill pass and then get nerfed in a few years, once big corporations actually experience the operational cost and lobby to have it rolled back / made it optional for them.
From the article: ”Part of the Delta Works, the barriers are controlled by a supercomputer, and automatically close when Rotterdam (especially the Port of Rotterdam) is threatened by floods.”

It’s not the mechanical controller, it’s the decision to pre-activate protection based on prediction (“threat”) of weather conditions and water levels.

What makes you think saccades are random? When you are reading text, for example, they are methodical.

We have had machines that do what you describe for decades.

Here's Daniel Dennett in Consciousness Explained (1992)

When your eyes dart about in saccades, the muscular contractions that cause the eyeballs to rotate are ballistic actions: Your fixation points are unguided missiles whose trajectories at lift-off determine where and when they will hit ground zero at a new target ...

Amazingly, a computer equipped with an automatic eye-tracker can detect and analyse the lift-off in the first few milliseconds of a saccade, calculate where ground zero will be, and before the saccade is over, erase the word on the screen at ground zero and replace it with a different word of the same length. What do you see? Just the new word, and with no sense at all of anything having been changed. As you peruse the text on the screen, it seems to you for all the world as stable as if the words were carved in marble, but to another person reading the same text over your shoulder (and saccading to a different drummer) the screen is aquiver with changes.

The effect is overpowering. When I first encountered an eye-tracker experiment, and saw how oblivious subjects were (apparently) to the changes flickering on the screen, I asked if I could be a subject. I wanted to see for myself. I was seated at the apparatus, and my head was immobilized by having me bite on a "bite bar". This makes the job easier for the eye-tracker, which bounces an unoticeable beam of light off the lens of the subject's eye, and analyzes the return to detect any motion of the eye. While I waited for the experimenters to turn on the apparatus, I read the text on the screen. I waited, and waited, eager for the trails to begin. I got impatient. "Why dont you turn it on?" I asked. "It is on," they replied.
Uh? What you're talking doesn't make any sense.

If one of entities involved in the exchange doesn't want to trade, there is no trade. Simple as that. There is no such thing as privilege here.

I think you don't understand the concepts of legal tender and misunderstood what I said.

No, you cannot decide to trade in whatever currency you'd prefer. This is illegal in most parts of the world. Even if you base the exchange in another currency, you'll need to have a local legal tender to do it. There are exceptions, such as Panama... but in most of the world, you'll be required to exchange to the local currency.

Depends on your problem, programming/teach a robotic arm in all dimensions is often faster in a 3D environment or VR, but programming that arm in just 2 dimensions is probably faster done in normal code aka 2D.

It a bit like the discussion of Gui's vs Terminal even if both of them are 2D.
This. It's hilarious how the parser knows what you're trying to do when using print statement in ipython and such, but still raises an Exception instead of printing the damn thing. Am I in the REPL to work on something, or to be frustrated by the ridiculous syntax? Just DWIM, Jesus Christ.
I didn't know the word at all - quite a surprise, appearing in the heading of an article in my native language on a not very obscure subject.
