I hear you, but tipping is a widely accepted practice. As a software developer I use tons of open source software and I'm aware of how much open source software is used in commercial products I use as well. And still I can't recall seeing credits with the original developers' names ever outside of a license file. I'm not saying that is good or bad, but it doesn't seem to be standard practice.
English itself has already been heavily influence from its neighboring languages (something like 30% of words have french origin), if there are useful words in Mandarin it's taken quite a few of them as well (recently learned that 'saving face' is a very literal translation).

As far as merging, Mandarin borrows phonetically sometimes but isn't nearly as eager as Japanese, which has found quite a bit of loanword usage. Which is to say, I think it's possible.
Virtually everyone has their price.

On Managing People
Interesting experiment, and I think this effect can quickly get reinforced by parents (or grandparents / other family). Your kid picks a book a few times, next thing you know the parents are emphasizing IS THIS YOUR FAVORITE BOOK? There's a themed birthday party with the characters. That becomes part of the child's identity.

I've found it helps to not hold any of your kids preferences static. If they like something now, don't assume they will still like it 2 weeks from now. Consciously give them the space to change their mind.
Ford and GM date from 1903 and 1908, respectively. Chrysler from 1925. There were plenty of other car makers (Packard, Studebaker, Duesenberg, AMC, Hudson, etc.), but most of them were started in the 1910s-1920s and then went defunct in the 1950s. There are plenty of other Silicon Valley tech companies (Stripe, AirBnB, Uber, Lyft, Dropbox, Coinbase, Roblox, etc.), and many of them are just starting their growth curve.
And Cloudflare's cited packet rate from the Moobot attack is a bit higher than Google is citing in this article. Attacks approaching 1 Gpps are pretty serious and both of these companies are fighting the problem by spending tons of money. As Google says here, "sufficient capacity to absorb the largest attacks". No magic bullet.

Measuring Up: How to Properly Measure Your Programmers
On the contrary, a partner has often unlimited liability, unlike an investor in an LLC or Ltd. company.
The majority of all GC research goes to java and (primarily the hotspot) jvm. ZGC and kin are like the zfs of garbage collectors: insanely good, but also insanely complex and not readily replicable. It's not practical to expect somebody with fewer resources than oracle to create something similar.

Reference-counting strategies are much easier to optimize; so if you have fewer resources available to throw at your compiler it's the way to go.
If people keep installing Windows Simple TCP/IP Services and activating the chargen server[1] on cloud machines with faster network interfaces, it's going to keep getting worse. I mean, BCP38 would be nice too, but not installing more chargen reflectors would be good enough for me.

Noticed this a few times, where race is associated with some bad behaviour as if it made matters any worse. What does it matter if the developers were Turkish?

The text is unattributed on a generic blog whose last post was about a bacon bread (http://healthyhabitteam.com/bacon-cheese-jalapeno-quick-brea...).

I found the text multiple times, it originated from PR Newswire (e.g. https://ih.advfn.com/stock-market/stock-news/83468413/survey...), so a press release by a company.

The HN account is brand new, the content had important parts removed when copied, it's simply not a trustable news source.
So the actual measurement here is measuring the orientation of the molecule and the interference pattern of the two electrons ejected from the molecule by their experimental setup exciting them to deduce the amount of time it took for light to go from the first electron to the second, is that right?
Maybe projects like that are way easier to stomach when people stick around? The lord who ordered its construction or his son will preside the entire time, and I would imagine the builders would be building it until they retire or finish it. Any modern 45 year old project would probably have every job position involved in it (including, I would imagine, whoever was financing it) change people multiple times
Given that Raymond Hill is one of the persons helping to expose this mess, at least we can get a good idea of the motivations behind the uBlock Origin maintainers.

Granted, it isn’t drama free. But frankly, these people have one of the best longest running track records of trust in all of browser extensions. It is going to be an immensely sad day when things go sour.

If your problem is the power and reach that these companies have, then fix that problem. Break them up; mandate open communications protocols; create a gov't-owned communications platform. Destroying UGC on the Internet, or passing blatantly unconstitutional laws, isn't going to fix the problem.
I now full on agree with #1. The USA needs a strong China to be the other superpower.

Forgive me as I try to articulate what I'm thinking.

Being the sole super power somehow turned out to be bad thing. We (the USA) needs to an opponent, a competitor to better define and understand ourselves.

During the Cold War, aspirational preaching about human rights and democracy and capitalism was a way for us to differentiate ourselves from our opponents. A bit like Scott Galloway's thesis about Apple using privacy as brand laddering technique to differentiate itself from Google, Samsung, etc. Privacy is not central to Apple. But it makes for great ad copy.

I'm not saying USSR, China, whoever were (are) better or worse than the USA. I have no opinion and I really don't care. (Well, I do have an opinion. People in glass houses...)

What I am saying is the USA needs the idea of an opponent. So that domestically it (we) can set aside our differences to meet the external threat. And to have some kind of narrative to pitch why aligning with the USA is the better choice.

I don't think the USA is unique this way. Us vs them is base human psychology.

I do hope that The Powers That Be, on both sides, under stand the realpolitik is just kabuki and it matters don't degenerate into another Cold War. We don't need another arm's race.

Amazing work
Interesting. However, any manual action (choosing trusted posters, maintained database) is bad for adoption. Facebook and twitter take care of it, you should too.

Perhaps you should use karma and comment interactions to automatically attest the people you interact with. Add a "report" button to disavow certain users. Now there is a positive and negative feedback loop to reduce the workload of attestation.

Caveat: attestation must be stabilized. The existing hierarchies of admin/(super-)moderator work well as trusted posters. On the other hand, picking and choosing your moderator(s) is interesting and will birth new flame-wars and division.

Caveat (2): Adding more crypto explodes the amount of data which must be handled. Especially when every comment and upvote is signed.
I feel like europe is like a broken record at this moment. These inane rules waste millions of hours and cause untold disruptions for not only no benefit to europe, they managed to completely obliterate whatever was left of european advertising agencies. I struggle to think of one thing that EU has done to help us small-time tech people, other than giving pacifying subsidies that are wasted on travel expenses and stacks of printed paper. (and tbh i dont like advertising, but it feels like there s just nothing unregulated in europe anymore, it's a dead land)

Historically, and probably the mainstream hypothesis, is that you need chemo to be systemic in order to take care of micrometastatic disease (tumors that you cannot see). However, with the advent of immunooncology (IO) therapies (drugs that help your body recognize the tumor) and the benefits of having chemo + IO drugs is challenging that dogma. Certain chemo drugs are known to trigger an immune response. Having a technology that gives intense amount of chemo at the tumor and without diminishing the persons immune system. Our technology opens the door to have this effect in humans. We have seen those effects in mice studies and presented the results in cancer conferences.
I think all of the things you just wrote are true, but I don't see how they answer the question I asked... ?

Tangential, but that attitude prevents a lot of competition in the tech space. A lot of the reason tech companies can grow so large with so little competition is the problem of trust.
Correct. We fund the "wrong" things when it comes to education.

Simply pumping more money into poorly performing school districts isn't a solution, but we continue to do so. Some of that money might be better spent on social services to help ensure stable households and early education for the kids in those areas. Or higher minimum wages to help ensure the parents don't need to work 12 hours/day to make ends meet. Etc.

And neither side of the political aisle can come to a consensus on what to change, so here we are. Le Sigh.
> Remember to audit your extensions frequently, and remove any unused extensions.

> In the case of Nano Defender, users were not notified before control of the extension was transferred to a third-party. That's not the right way to handle this.

The whole browser extension ecosystem seems to be purposefully bloated with such loopholes allowing such backdoors.
I remember seeing a clg presentation, "a browser is a literal nuke you carry on yourself, whatever be the ... or claims as of sandboxing, you're already dead" - loosely quoted.
Remember that Section 230 isn't just about the big, centralized services. It protects everybody who's ever run a phpBB forum for their little community, or allowed comments on their blog, or set up a Mastodon instance they share with others. If you host content written by someone else, Section 230 is what allows you to moderate it, and what prevents you from being legally liable for it. Proposals requiring "political neutrality" even add new burdens to be compliant with; your friend on your Mastodon ranting about "that politician" probably isn't "neutral" publishing.

Facebook et al. could be big enough to wrangle the regulatory burden of existing without these protections. But many proposed 230 "reforms" could scare off anyone smaller, creating a regulatory moat that keeps Facebook at the top in perpetuity.

* They stopped building manufacturing plants in detroit itself and built them further afield to cut labor and land costs.

That is an antonym of the Silicon Valley situation - they tried numerous times to outsource and move to cheaper locations and failed. The closest to success were San Fransico and Palo Alto which effectively just sprawled the area that is effectively Silicon Valley outside the prior bounds. The attempts to go far afield failed and the physical manufacturing wasn't where the money was located resulting in a minor shake up.

There is a historical resemblance superficially in the first point but the second two are outright foils as every little highly publicized kerfluffle for what is effectively a relatively fringe cause like say not taking DoD contracts is nothing compared to a work stop or a gain of union claim to control.

Come to think of it the employee stock share benefits are a sort of weird foil to a union - not even trying for control or working conditions but giving some token stake to sufficiently valued workers. Not a replacement by any means but it is an ironic undermining of a company vs worker mentality.
This one actually does exactly that, so please give it a try. It also has an auto mode where it measures how well you play and then sends you to practice those bars where you are still weak.
I was in the Navy in the 70's serving aboard a now de commissioned nuclear cruiser. During the fuel crisis we were kept at sea for crazy stretches. I found that after 10 days or so I could have stayed out forever. The first 1 to 2 weeks were misery but after that time didn't actually exist as days or weeks, just watch rotation and preventative maintenance work schedule.
Note that what we're referring to as "async" for Nim is actually "async await". AFAIK Swift doesn't support that, does it?
I think that's the point of this bill. They force Facebook et al. to get certified bias-free in a manner that basically makes it impossible to get that certification. So then they get the headlines saying "FCC finds Facebook is biased!!!111"

The bill would be more palatable to me if they simply dropped the immunity, without any certification process. But then demonstrating bias would require winning civil lawsuits, which requires demonstrating damage suffered by the bias and also convincing 12 members of the jury in a unanimous vote... which is unlikely to happen, I think.

(Addendum: actually, the real point of the bill may be to just say "Facebook/Twitter/Google is biased, and I'm doing something about it!" and ignore any actual chance of it making law or being reasonable. It's not like many people actually read details of bills to understand what it does and doesn't say.)
Quite honestly I'm of the opinion that Google should strictly audit all transfers of ownership of popular extensions. The options for monetizing extensions are so limited that the only thing that can motivate someone to buy an extension is nefarious purposes.
As a beginner who wants to improve, I'd like to understanding your finger technique point better.

I saw a video recently [1] which claims to use AI to predict finger technique for an arbitrary MIDI file. This was always an issue for me in using Synthesia [2] - a piece of software that 'gamifies' leaning a piece. Synthesia is capable of displaying fingering information, but only if someone has manually input it - and without the fingering it's almost impossible for a beginner to learn difficult passages.

If MIDI files contained accurate fingering (by which I mean which finger of which hand...although maybe there's more to it?), and then could be input into a game - is this useful education tool?

I use uBlock Origin, and I share your feelings about the team.

That said, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hanssen was trusted too, and deliberately selling out isn't the only attack model. The extension ecosystem kinda terrifies me.
> Sure, but this is a situation about social norms rather than passive aggressive employer behavior.

Every time I come across a thread - on any forum - where people are educating others that something is a social norm, it is because it is not. They merely want it to be.

If you have a good number of people disagreeing on it, take it as a humble suggestion that norms differ across geos, industries, culture, etc. Don't insist on it, because it will come across as an imposition.

Unrelated to the content in my comment above, I look at this from the same lens I look at products in my engineering world. We don't find a need to credit Claude Shannon, John Von Neumann, Tony Hoare, etc in all our products. I find this to be OK.
This does show something interesting about how choice alters preference, but it doesn’t seem to generalize to the title at all.

The experimental setup doesn’t have ecological validity as a model for babies typical environments.

The experimenters had to go out of their way to manufacture a situation in which the choice produced a random result.

This is a clever experiment that produces a useful result about choice strengthening preference.

It doesn’t however generalize into the idea that our preferences are a consequence of mere randomness.

1. In the absence of the contrived situation, choices will reflect the genetic predispositions of the baby, coupled with what is afforded by the environment.

2. If someone acts to create a contrived situation for the baby, then preferences will be systematically biased by that contrivance.

Neither of these are surprising statements, although the experiments results confirm (or can be deduced from) #2.

The random case doesn’t actually occur outside the laboratory, and if it did, it would be just a special case of #2.

So, “who we are is just a product of random choices we made as babies” is not a good interpretation of this result because babies actually don’t make random choices unless you put them in a special laboratory situation.
When someone publishes code with permissive licenses has to expect that all kind of users will take advantage of it in different ways.

That does not mean that is probably doing it for the ones that will be graceful of it. Opensource is not just about licenses but a way of creating.
Anecdotally: in my years on this planet, I've never known anyone who committed suicide (thankfully).

However in the last 3 months, I've had both a friend and a relative kill themselves unexpectedly, both laid off since March, unable to work, financial issues, no hope and one just recently in an area just gone back into lockdown.

It is very much easier for those of us who are able to WFH taking Zoom meetings in PJs with Amazon Fresh delivering groceries to the door. But for a big chunk of the populace, these are really hard times.

I do not know what the right answer is, but you have a very good point.
What about Intel using Minix and not giving attribution to Tanenbaum?
Unless you do something really amazing, they will judge you on your school and grades. When you're older, it's different of course.

You can't really get any real trading experience unless you work as an instiutional trader, so no, you don't need to have traded.

You also don't need to know anything about finance, though it helps. With a math+CS degree from a top school, I wouldn't imagine you have trouble getting a S&T offer at a bank (maybe not a specific bank like Goldman tho).

The other path you could take is to go straight to the buy-side: prop shop, hedge fund, etc. These jobs are significantly harder to get.

The money won't be as good at the sellside, but it's a lot less risky. Also having a big bank on your resume never hurts. Probably the most common career path is:

summer bank internship -> 2 year analyst stint -> mba/mfe/PhD -> associate role at bank or buy-side fund
Absolutely not sure but isn't starch just a long chain of sugars that we can break apart?

Sibling talks about memory management. Some other notes:

- Nim and rust have macros.

- D has very high-quality metaprogramming (probably better than any other language without macros).

- (Afaik swift and zig have fairly normal templates. I don't know as much about those.)

- D and zig have compile-time function execution (think c++ constexpr on steroids on steroids).

- Swift is likely to be the slowest of the bunch; like go, though it's technically compiled to native code, its performance profile is closer to that of a managed language. The others should be generally on par with each other and with c.
That’s just it. I don’t think it can be stated that he was armed at this point. We know a knife was in the car. That’s about it.

Personally, I wouldn’t consider him to be armed unless he was actively brandishing it. Which the USA Today article says he was not.

Regardless. They shot a man in the back seven times while his children watched. The standard for that kind of force should be much, much higher than “he may or may not have had a knife in his possession”.
Newspapers and magazines run each article past editorial review before publishing it, and usually fact check anything that looks like it might be libelous or controversial. They don't just accept what the writer submitted and go to press.

It's hard to see how you could run a site that provided near real time broadcast communication to the general public if you had to do that level of vetting of each post to make sure nothing slipped through that might get you sued.
It depends how good/low level a programmer you are, but it's really not that hard to spin up your own impl. I did an (incomplete) Python multiprocessing like dealio in like 100 lines of code (https://github.com/c-blake/cligen/blob/master/cligen/procpoo...) just to make my `only.nim` run faster because libmagic/file are so CPU intensive. So, one way to annihilate your worries is to just roll your own.
I didn’t downvote you, but “Team of Turkish developers” is just how original author of the extension refers to the new owner in his original announcement.
