I'm not sure much would change if it were publicly owned. You'd still have political interference from whoever is in office. The same arguments over what's "disinformation", with the ruling party having a clear bias ("oh that negative story about me? disinformation").

And as well, no doubt the intelligence agencies will have a field day getting access to a public social media platform.
I trust the spy agencies far less than I do my elected officials. These guys' job is to lie, cheat, steal, and murder at a grand scale. At least it is in an elected politican's job description to represent me. Also, many of these villains are getting briefings from and giving direction to said agencies already.
Or they were the best and the ones who left were the worst ones. The argument can be made both ways.
Suppose I pay a marketing firm money to run an advertising campaign to promote my business. They wouldn't be violating any laws by using my trademarks as part of doing this job, according to the contract we signed.

That is what Grubhub claims they are doing. They aren't doing this to random third-parties - just restaurants that signed up with Grubhub's marketing service and agreed to allow them to do these things in their terms of service. Unfortunately, in this world of EULAs that are far too numerous to ever read and understand, most of the restaurants didn't realize what they were signing up for.

This behavior absolutely scummy, but the question of whether it is legal is more of a contract issue than a trademark one.
I wish I did. I just remember it being a huge annoyance.

It does both make sense and seem incredibly buggy. It'd have to be a fairly impressive attack vector that hits the keyboard firmware, but if you did, I suppose you'd have access to the raw key stream to exfiltrate... not curious to see if it applied on my Mac Pro (which just has a WASD keyboard - I don't use the Apple Magic Keyboard), or a MBP without touchbar (maybe this is the firmware, not the keyboard per se). I do know it is demonstrably the VPN at issue - I can disable our always-on device VPN and the problem goes away, but alas, no easily accessible source that says "verification of HID firmware" or similar.
Nothing wrong with your English mate and nothing with a little Italian “flavour” in anything you’ve written, IMHO as an Englishman.

English is such a mixed up language but you can mangle it up in loads of different ways and it’ll still come out fine.
AWS isn't a "marketing platform", and it's where most of their profit comes from. It's a bundle of many different and related technologies, most of which have only a few competitors and would be tricky to implement locally.

And then there's that "Amazon doesn't make anything" claim so neatly demolished by jodrellbank.
Every big tech is a hypocrite, suprised?
To a large degree you could imagine most of prolog programming as a set of term rewriting steps. As well as most lisp style macro programming languages. I thought the focus on Wolfram was a bit myopic. Even earlier meta and Tree-meta languages used this as well.
Then under your definition, Otis elevators and GE and Boeing and are also tech companies.
Trust us, it's not as bad a this.

For one, you can make few initial changes and then zone out fixing type errors, whereas this is entirely manual.
> biggest production line is probably the robots that are at work in their warehouses

pffft. Robot roles for their warehouses is a distinctly bounded and rather small "marketplace". Kindle sales likely outnumber this by at least 3 orders of magnitude. Not to mention Alexa technologies.

This honestly sounds ridiculous to me. Every course I ever did we had access to years and years of past papers. Doing past papers is one of the best ways to study. Teaching or learning to the test is a good thing if the test is good.

Parent said that presentation of originally-submitted content should be 1:1 and neutrally ranked (e.g. by timestamp).

That seems a fairly modest proposal.

I think it depends on how much you type. If you type most of the time, your hands will tend to stay centred on the keyboard. Of course this is highly variable based on so many factors...
So all your twitter data and interactions like clicks and time spent will be sent to whoever gets you to install their algorithm? I can see why Cambridge Analytica seemed like a good idea to some people now...
Not all ad / search systems know you've made a purchase. Google probably does though. Of course they should probably shut up about it.
I was thinking about this since I read the article. The number you state seems to be 0.5% of total subjects. To my understanding, this is not how "p < 0.005" is employed.

If we take the control group, we have P(Corona)=90/15000.
The likelyhood of getting as an extreme result in the vaccine group is then P(0 cases) + ... + P(5 cases) = [math and statistics] = the actual p-value.

How did you determine the statistical significance in your post?

So one issue I can think of with this, would be that you often mold a work to be a podcast, by adding in extra auditory elements that wouldn't work in a pure text format. Listen to the BBC world service, often in their longer pieces they add in auditory clues like a busy street with the sounds of people bustling and so on to clue in the audience about what is happening. I can't imagine a straight rock bottom priced translation to a podcast working super well.

All great points, which is why the architecture of a governing body that aims to satisfy the interests of end users while addressing your other concerns is foundational. The governing body wouldn't be fully under the authority of the three branches of government. Rather, a hybrid model that gives the people direct interest in social media governance would allow for desirable mutual outcomes.

The main goal is to remove the capitalist and private interests, while leveraging the good parts of our elected government, and also to directly integrate voices of the people.

The entire exercise is thus to develop such a governance specifically for social media. We could even create a "digital constitution" to re-think our democratic experiment in the age of social media.
I agree with you, but there's probably already been some pressure with people wanting to use Raspberry PIs/other ARM-based boards for K8s clusters. I wonder where that tipping point will come.

> Putting my manager hat on, I ask: Can I replace 10 of my average engineers with this one person? The answer is never "yes".

Well, yeah, people aren't interchangeable cogs. A person that is capable of delivering 10× value per unit of working time when properly employed probably isn't a drop in replacement for 10 1× developers. And managers thinking of people as interchangeable cogs where productivity multiples work by simple substitutions that way are great at getting ~sqrt(N)× (or less) output and quick burnout from N× (N > 1) developers.

> That's because a team does more than just technical stuff. There's documentation, dealing with customers, bureaucratic stuff, etc.

Yeah, and all of those things are things a developer can be better at than average, not just technical design and coding. Sure, there's some high productivity developed that are average or worse at some but much better at one area, there's also high productivity developers that are better than average across the board.

Good pages or onions to find an IT book that people haven't found so far
Hi, what good onions or pages do you guys have to find an IT book that people haven't found anywhere so far ?

The book is called "Explore It!: Reduce Risk and Increase Confidence with Exploratory Testing 1st Edition" by Elisabeth Hendrickson, some even tried using Library Genesis but it's not even there...

Because governments have a monopoly on violence, and can use your data against you to imprison you, bomb your village, defame you, etc. I can quit Facebook or Google much easier than I can quit the TSA database or DMV record system.

And I don't think too many people would disagree that the best software developers, machine learning people, and computer security people are going to tech companies rather than work at government offices.

And finally, governments are influenced by temporary forces of who's in power, like we are seeing now in the United States. And whoever is in power can replace departments with people to do what they want, which can be borderline illegal. They only have to worry about the next N years, where N is often a number less than 5.
>The score is a reduction that's intentionally lacking tons of information that defines the essence of a performance.

This is precisely part of my point, or would be if you corrected it. The score contains, either implicitly or explicitly, global performance clues that will tell the performer what to do about timing (and if it doesn't that's because it is expected to come from a conductor or other similar source). It's a highly efficient mechanism precisely because it is a global property of the score (or perhaps locally scoped to sections). Much better than providing timing information for every note (as MIDI would do). The MIDI version is an inefficient means of information transfer.

BTW, things do not get even crazier with "world music styles like samba". Samba is an extremely regular groove that is very easy to understand. This is true of most Afro-Cuban derived rhythmic structures - the complexities come from layering a set of very simple patterns. Things do get "even crazier" with rhythmic traditions from Indian, Balinese and some parts of Africa, places where conventional western ways of describing things really don't do a good job at all.

I read it as k-aughts and k8s as k-eights, and all my juniors have at first as well. These aren't great abbreviations, we just get used to them. My main issue with this project is that if you want to use k8s and are using it, you want some measure of control. Unless you are just using it "because", your business goals intersect with the k8s philosophy and you need some element of it. In every case I have deployed it in there is a lot of fine tuning.
Yes if you appeal to model theory you're on firm ground with truth. But that's not how most informal introductions to the incompleteness theorems go (and indeed not how this article went about it).

More to the point, Godel's incompleteness theorems are theorems of proof theory, not model theory. Their proofs can be carried out with no recourse to models at all. And I think they are far less prone to being misunderstood when carried out without recourse to models and by extension without recourse to semantic truth.

You can of course choose to interpret them in model theory if you're working in a semantically complete logical system such as first-order logic with the usual semantics or second-order logic under Henkin semantics, and it is often illuminating to do so once you have those fundamentals. But I think in an informal setting those will tend only to confuse rather than clarify. And importantly the incompleteness theorems still hold in contexts where you don't really have a meaningful model theory to speak of.
I find the attitude that only STEM is worth studying (which is not coincidentally believed most fervently by STEM grads) really pernicious.

Let me restate the common argument--there's this feeling that it's useful to measure people by the good they're doing for society, and that getting a PhD doing postmodern feminist readings of Christopher Marlowe is less useful to society than getting one doing Alzheimer's research or whatever.

I'll just say that it's worth considering whether an academic discipline's contributions may be difficult to notice but in fact substantial. Some academic disciplines like history or cultural anthropology must operate more qualitatively simply because the phenomena they aim to account for admit of no other approach, with the result that their intellectual products (especially when considered from the perspective of general society) will not often be as concrete as, say, a vaccine. But it'd be premature, of course, to dismiss a discipline just because its methods do not reach our desired level of formalization and its output is intangible.

If the issue you're raising is more narrowly one of your belief that within the scope of an _individual_'s wellbeing studying some subjects will leave them worse off than others, that's obviously true in at least financial dimensions, but that doesn't make a discipline a "fake subject".
Disagree strongly.

In general Jenkins UI is abysmal. I want to love Jenkins. I’ve been using it on and off since the Hudson days, but it’s UI is horrendous.

I almost feel bad saying something so mean, but the Jenkins UI Is so bad it looks like something I would come up with.
I think the post of the parent is a bit tongue-in-cheek; I read it mostly as “I don’t know whether there are a few developers that are significantly better than the rest, but I do know there are a few developers that are significantly worse than the rest”.

It’s effectively the same thing, but from a different perspective.

In context, that article was page 5 of CACM for this month. It struck me, as it was not about the same topic as the rest of the issue, that it was meant as a conversation starter. I'd expect more in the December/January issues in the form of letters from readers, and perhaps an issue delving more deeply in the first months of 2021.
The really perplexing thing to me here is that Docker Desktop...was featured on stage at the Apple event. How? Did Apple just hack it together and get it working? Was it just fake? Was Docker involved at all?

I feel like it was implied that Apple was doing the hard work here, but now it looks more like nobody was doing the work, and showing it off working was a hat trick?
Why? I would expect the user experience to suffer on one or both. MS already went down this path and the end result were apps that made compromises to try being usable on both platforms.
Other people have been commenting to this effect, but I'd take a step back and make a broader point: when something makes a bold claim (i.e. "No excess deaths in Sweden compared to the last ten years") using deliberately obfuscated data, we should call it what it is: lying with statistics.

That is, the graph you would really want to look at is one that shows weekly deaths as a line graph over many previous years, that way it's easy to see, at any week in the year, whether the current year is higher or lower than previous years or averages. That is what the Financial Times graphs show that another commenter posted, and they very clearly show the excess deaths in 2020 vs previous years for Sweden (and many other countries).

What's the point of the graphs in this post? I mean, 2020 isn't even done yet, so the graphs literally tell you nothing about Covid because there are no previous graphs to compare to. So what's the point of posting this, with this title, besides being deliberately deceptive?
A buch of my compatriots are really prickly about the current sitation, because of politics. I'm sorry for their behavior.
> So, if the user does not have permission to edit a resource, the edit button will not be displayed. This results in a much better UX, because it is obvious to the operator what actions are available based on their permissions at the time.

This results in much worse UX, as the user is oblivious to what actions are unavailable due to their permissions!

Back a little over 20 years ago, we would just grey out the button, to indicate that it was "disabled". (I'd also add that I think hovering over such UI ought to offer an explanation as to why that particular action is unavailable, and possibly, what steps to take to effect it.)

And it can be downright confusing if someone is giving instructions: are you misinterpreting their instructions, are their instruction wrong, or is it that the software is hiding the UI from you?
What OpenVPN thinks about WireGuard, Google VPN and more
Kubernetes does a whole lot more than just restart jobs when a node fails, in fact of all its features this is one most people probably see in action the least.

Kubernetes centralizes all the traditional technical nonsense related to providing a robust environment to deploy applications to. I want Kubernetes even in a single node scenario because I want Kubernetes-like packaging, deployment and network services for any app I work on, as they are a net simplification of what was previously an ad-hoc world of init scripts, language-specific supervisors, logging, monitoring, etc etc., and rearchitecting an app deployment from scratch simply because its resource requirements increased.

If people want to continue trying to scale it down further, where is the harm in this? There are plenty of legitimate cases where it makes sense. There's no real limit to that work either, it's conceivable with the right implementation improvements (in k8s and the container runtime), it might eventually be possible to reuse the same deployment model even for extremely small devices.
I think there are two questions I have:

Will I be able to build/run x86 (64bit) docker containers?

Will I be able to build/run ARM containers (and without "switching" something)?

> I was concerned about the heat in Pasadena and the piles of snow in Boston

As a native Californian living in Pasadena, I also hate the heat -- but, unlike Boston (in my experience), air conditioning is standard, and makes the outside situation matter far less. (It's also not usually that bad, and it's almost always a dry heat.)

The one time I visited Boston (for an undergraduate research program), it was frosty the first few days, and then hellishly humid every day thereafter. The dorm I was staying in didn't really have temperature control, and I got the sense that AC wasn't as common.

Your mileage may vary!
