> Blocks are just anonymous functions. That's it.

Blocks in ruby have non-local return, unlike anonymous functions.

compare `[1,2,3].map {|e| return true if e > 1 }` in ruby to `[1,2,3].map(e => {if(e > 1) { return true}})` in javascript. The ruby version will return a single `true` value, while the javascript version will return an array.

This post walks through a example that resembles my experience writing bugs when I knew way more ruby than javascript: https://github.com/raganwald-deprecated/homoiconic/blob/mast...
Again, you’re just confusing disagreement for bias. As if The NY Times or WaPo don’t provide a platforms for left wing think tanks? Are you worried about the bias of The NY Times Editorial page when they undermine the science of gender or IQ? The WSJ editorial page should be the most important thing you read every day so you can actually understand the reasoning (yes reason) of people with different positions than you.
Thank you! Only, I didn't get much past the first page tonight; I built the "dad's puzzle" out of legos and solved it instead...

Well, I accomplished the goal, but far from minimally so.
If you can't find things to watch on Netflix, you either haven't looked/tried or you have such narrow interests that the other services aren't going to please you either.

Maybe since you mentioned "young people", you're looking for Gunsmoke reruns?
It could be, as I said.
It looks like in the end we will end up back where we started with cable TV package deals. For example - I just want to watch European football and to do that right now I have two options, either pay almost $70/month for fubo.tv (which was just 20$ before it started adding crap channels and was focused on football only), or I have to sign up for CBS to watch champions league, fanatiz to watch bein sports, peacock to watch some premier league games, NBC cable to watch other premier league games, and espn plus to watch Italian and French league, ridiculous.
Isn't it possible that people become more comfortable attacking common sense opinions like that because they are only expressed in pseudonymity? If the veil were lifted, we'd all have to stand behind our opinions, and people who wanted to disagree would have to do it to our faces. Maybe removing humanity from the internet is not the panacea it seems?
I generally don't respond to comments as unconstructive as this one, but I'll make an exception. I've added the overall show scores from Rotten Tomatoes (critics/audience) to maybe broaden your perspective a little.

- Narcos: 89%/94%

- House of Cards: 77%/76%

- Russian Doll: 97%/87%

- Ozark: 81%/92%

- Stranger Things: 93%/91%

- Tiger King: 86%/84%

- Dear White People: 95%/50%

- The Witcher: 67%/92%

- The Umbrella Academy: 82%/87%

- The Crown: 89%/90%

- Space Force: 38%/75%

- The Alienist: 74%/84% (added by request)

The only one not well-received by critics was Space Force (which audiences liked), and the only one even close to "OK" according to audiences was DWP (which critics liked).

Except for those two, every other show on this list had a supermajority of both critics and audience view it favorably.
MailChimp banned Stefan Molyneux.
This to me is the more interesting story. What happened here? I understand that russiagate made many people crazy, both those who believed it and those who vehemently fought against it. I don't however understand how some people became turned into complete contrarians over it like Greenwald seems to have.
The only confusing and brittle thing is not being able to remember what the behavior of return is inside a block, price, or lambda
Your strawman seems a bit stupid. Real life companies are more long term greedy and ingenious. (Even if only because competition forces them to.) So even if there's an incentive to cooperate with a blackmail attempt that's already happening, there's also a strong incentive to get a reputation that prevents further blackmailing.

If you have some time, listen to this podcast episode https://www.econtalk.org/anja-shortland-on-kidnap/

> Anja Shortland of King's College London talks about her book Kidnap with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Kidnapping is relatively common in parts of the world where government authority is weak. Shortland explores this strange, frightening, but surprisingly orderly world. She shows how the interaction between kidnappers, victims, and insurance companies creates a somewhat predictable set of prices for ransom and creates a relatively high chance of the safe return of those who are kidnapped.

The broad incentives in kidnapping cases are comparable to what we discussed. As far as I can tell the market for kidnapping insurance doesn't have any special regulation, so perhaps a good proxy for how a free market might operate.

One of the main takeaways for me was that when eg an oil or mining concern buys kidnapping insurance for their employees, the insurance company strictly insists that employees not be told that there is insurance.

If you really wanted that, you can get a Plex server up and running which would likely suit you better since a single show is your deal breaker. Might as well control the deal.

But I'd question the need to get TV on all of your six devices just like I'd question the need to get Twitter and Candy Crush on all of them. Maybe get it on 1-2 (laptop, TV usb stick) and learn to be okay with not having 24/7 access to TV. You'd be happier.

As some ideas for ways to swap out TV with something more fulfilling, I recently decided to randomly consume some Youtube courses on the works of T. S. Eliot and Plato, of course reading them on my own alongside. It's not necessarily as stimulating as captivating TV or methamphetamine, but I feel like I'm growing, being challenged, and it's damn sure fulfilling. Also gives me something interesting to talk about. (I chose those authors because an older friend of mine knows about them and likes talking about them.)
> depress a lot of immunity

That seems odd, in a non-city context wouldn't eating and drinking be one of the riskiest things in terms of getting sick?

Edit: After thinking about it maybe it's related to not overreacting to everything we eat and causing allergies?
Attackers will then work to find domain names that generate similar identicons.

But maybe the identicons don't need to be meaningful or the same for everyone. You could hash the domain with another value, like a computer name or username, then show some interesting pattern. Then it would have a different pattern. Not perfect, but yet another user cue.

I'm with you there, milk alone is almost too sweet for me because I rarely add sugar to anything. But I think I need it for the creaminess (fat?) to cut the bitterness (and adding oil/butter is probably worse).
People love citing the "xx years left to act" articles after xx+n years, but don't mention that the goalposts keep moving. In 1992 we had xx years to act to keep warming below 1°. Today we have xx years to act to keep warming below 2.5°.

Nine ackowledged errors of _fact_ in one news artcile containing badly supported opinion. An article of the same quality written about the other major party when in power would have got a very similar response.

https://finance.nine.com.au/business-news/abc-senate-estimat...

"News story: government policies are garbage here's _nine_ errors of fact to support an non-opinion piece."

My opinion is that the government policies are garbage but I'm not pretending that's news, I'm not being paid by the national broadcaster to report news and I probably don't have nine errors of fact here.

There's plenty to look at in unfair media influence this story just wasn't it.

Yeah, I think local weather control, say over melting permafrost, is a high priority.
Read the books and the blogs (as time permits), look at tcpdump and wireshark when clients do weird stuff; then try to figure out why, and how you can fix it, when you can only control one side of the connection. Try a bunch of stuff.

Conntrack is pretty simple though; if you've configured your firewall rules for low performance, Xtables keeps track of each of the active connections, and there's a limit. If you hit the limit, it won't track anymore connections and you're stuck. Try to configure stateless firewall rules instead :)
I like an underdog, but Greenwald is not behaving reasonably. If you read the article that the Intercept refused to publish, it's pretty awful. He's not skeptical about his own story, and surely that is the prime commandment of responsible journalism.
The Zones of Thought series is fantastic, and A Deepness in the Sky may be my favorite sci-fi novel of the many dozens on my shelf. Highly recommend, and I wish there were more novels set in that universe.

Half of the GCP revenue may be workspaces / gsuite - which would make GCP tiny by comparison to AWS. I'm really surprised at how low those numbers are for google cloud.

Thanks to p-hacking, I would expect most small studies to get statistically significant results. Though that doesn't settle the more important question of whether they manage to get published.
Can’t upvote this enough.
Is there a reason for announcing it now, when it's incomplete and less useful, rather than once it's done (or more feature complete, at least)?

I ask because this seems like the sort of thing I would look at, then shrug off because it's not all there, as I don't want to put time and energy into learning a product that will have the features I want "some day", so I'd be likely to skip out on it for now and then forget about it basically forever.

Personally, I'd much rather be shown something that feels "done" and try to integrate it then than work with someone's first pass on the implementation, and I'm concerned that others would feel the same way and you would miss out on users.
I'm not sure I would call it deceit, God is all-knowing. I would consider it taking God's mercy for granted and treating him like a mechanical forgiveness dispenser.

I'm hesitant to say it's always a mortal sin, because it seems like it can happen in a lighthearted manner. For example if someone struggles with gluttony, that person might think "I know I shouldn't have a 2nd hamburger, but I'm weak and it would taste so good, I'll have it now and go to confession later". That doesn't seem like mortal sin territory to me.
And climate models generally don't yet take into account tipping points, so they are most likely conservative in their estimates.
The news is making a big deal about "secret" traffic aquisition costs - but the financials have covered these costs in a lot of detail over time - so it's not really new news. All the other players do / have done the same thing.

I find it easier to eat nothing for three days than to ration my meals. Though I'm sure this kind of response is pretty much hard wired tbh
Doing a 1-2 meal, 800 calorie/day diet for 8 weeks helped me to figure this out. The hard adjustment period was only for the first week. I then realized small and fewer meals was sufficient.

Not that the remainder was easy, but it was a different kind of struggle - and noticeably easier than the first week.
So, what is apparently a white guy, writes an article about AWS, and at the top of that article is a picture of an attractive woman of color, holding a laptop and leaning against a glass window showing a few racks of computers.

Something seems a little off about that article, right off the bat.

The services themselves are CloudFormation, Trusted Advisor, Cognito, and X-Ray. I can’t speak much for Cognito, but I have a bit of experience with the others.

I agree that they’re good, but CloudFormation has serious scaling issues. Once you’re beyond about 50kb in size, you can’t validate your CloudFormation templates locally anymore. And YAML is not a proper programming language. Trying to shoe-horn a programming language into YAML is always going to be a fraught exercise. I’m definitely coming around to the opinion that a real programming language plus CDK is a better solution.

X-Ray is a start, but doesn’t begin to approach what you can do with any other library I know of for doing performance analysis. The one and only advantage it has is that it’s from AWS, as opposed to New Relic or some other company.

Trusted Advisor is truly great, at least insofar as it goes. It really can help you clean up the low hanging fruit for reducing your costs or improving your security. But it only goes so far. And some of the recommendations might make sense in certain circumstances, but you need to know enough about your systems to know when the recommendations are not appropriate. After all, you might really want to have port 443 open to the public, maybe for a public web service, for example.

Cognito pools are an important part of API Gateway implementations, but I don’t know that I would call them great or under rated. I think anyone who does anything with API Gateway is going to know how useful they are — or are not.
I think you seriously missed the joke my friend.
>If they are the only ones, I would be very much surprised. The net result is that ideological and for-profit motives will be harder to distinguish, as the same crew may well be doing different campaigns for different reasons at any given time.

Sure, some of the campaigns might be ransomware, some might be terrorism. I don't see how this disagrees with what I said.
> If the mission could kindly bring the asteroid back to Earth, every person on the planet — all 7.8 billion of us — would get roughly $1.2 billion, based on current metal prices.

Are they intentionally messing with us with statements like this? That much supply of any metal (precious or otherwise) would cause the price to completely collapse. It would be worth basically nothing.

Yeah, I switched back to just plain old piracy last year. One button on Sonarr and it's on my NAS and playable on Plex on all my devices a few minutes later. I'm done. They had the right model, but it's gone now. Oh well.
Most importantly, the amount of things in your shed increases exponentially with respect to time.

In the blink of an eye, you'll have old lawnmower blades (for when I start forging), a full shelf of two stroke engines (shame to throw them away, when they almost run), at least 3 power tools that have been used a total of once (but they were on sale), a "random fasteners" drawer, and an entire woodworking area. *

* Woodworking area may only exist in your mind if you're younger than 50.
We have been investigating alternative theories at least since 1980. It turns out that all signs point to human-made climate change and the predictions get more dire the more we understand about it.

This is what happens when governments meddle with a free market by offering tax cuts and cash incentives. The businesses optimize for the wrong thing.

I still think they are/were in a great position to offer what is now office365 and google docs earlier on, with a position to offer both dedicated and cloud software options.

They had electron effectively a decade before electron with XULrunner and let it die on the vine.

There were opportunities for developer mindshare and for services adjacent to those tools they were already building... that they didn't do more for getting Thunderbird more competitive to Outlook to offering a better breed of messenger platform.

No, their management sat on fat cash, with fat paychecks and ill-conceived projects that lead to little in terms of mindshare or income longevity.

Not just that, they chose to support the Bolshevik regime in Russia while their own correspondents knew about the massive starvation in Ukraine causing millions of deaths but that was not the narrative they want to push to the whole world.

This is why I suppose I don't enjoy eating when I am "starving" as we like to say when we haven't eaten in a while. I am so hungry that I can't even enjoy the meal because the hunger pangs I am feeling don't subdue until I am practically done with the meal, and sometimes, even afterwards.
The knowledge you got from the javascript flavored web components and indexDB and service workers you might have used with Angular will come in handy optimizing wasm/blazor when you realize -- wasm is still a WIP and javascript and DOM libraries are still needed.

According to David Fincher himself [1], Netflix hasn't canceled Mindhunter, merely put it on indefinite hiatus. Fincher says Netflix actually wanted more seasons, but that he found the show too stressful to make.

Not in the long term since more and more services do VPN detection which is trivial any time a VPN has static servers.

Though even residential proxies (https://luminati.io/) are being detected with greater and greater frequency.
You would have to be a complete idiot to use this. You might as well put a Google Nest camera in your bedroom and let Google and their contractors watch you. Oh, wait.
Because writing documentation is boring and done by volunteers. Unpaid people tend to do stuff that is interesting for them, not useful for you. Even paid people tend to do the same if not pressed, so what you get is what you pay for.

I love this framing!

I've got a "forever project" I'm working on (a web based storytelling game platform) and it's been an absolute joy to have something I can keep extending and tweaking.

Sometimes my motivation is to enable a new type of game I'm designing and sometimes it's just to make the platform better.

One thing that I've found super helpful is having a huge diversity of TODOs. If I'm in the mood to code some logic - great, if I'm feeling like tweaking the visuals - cool, if I'm excited about doing game design and working on a draft – that's fine too. There's always something to chip away at that suits my mood and energy.
Oh, LifeLock. You mean, that company started by a guy who was convicted of felony crimes related to identity fraud? You’re going to trust that company?
Allowed to publish? First it's a pilot study. Second, it's actually not a small sample size if you reasonably anticipate big effects and have multiple measures for each of the people at multiple time points. It isn't an observational study, though believers might have wished for a matched control group - - the anticancer effects might have come from the Ramadan prayer vs fasting!
Fincher uses a huge amount of expensive digital effects to recreate the era. There are VFX breakdowns on YouTube if you're interested.
