“...else it's not damage control by Debian like you suggest”

Nowhere did I suggest Debian was doing damage control.

You are simply misrepresenting me.

“That’s what you say now, but not what you said originally”

Another misrepresentation. What I said originally, and my follow up comment are perfectly consistent.

I’m curious why you feel such a strong need to defend DebianDev and deny that there is any damage control happening.
This is an instance of "The Most Intolerant Wins" (https://medium.com/incerto/the-most-intolerant-wins-the-dict...).

Also, like most exercises of power, one has to have power in order to exercise it. Conservatives are usually more worried about not being fired for their views.
Any sort of bettering that is not globally experienced equally sustains inequity. To go to an absurd place the improvements I made to my garden this year sustain inequity since I now have and enjoy them and others do not, but they would if I had donated the same amount of time to a community garden. That alone should not be a compelling reason to act.
Your best bet is anti-trust:

Basically, if there more customers but smaller orders, the wasteful overhead of customers reverse engineering the produce will grow. But then there's more incentive for HW companies to overtake the competition by offering better docs.
> Crows weigh ~1kg and cigarette butts ~5mg, i.e. ingesting a single cigarette butt is 10 times what would send a human to hospital.

This assumes that humans and crows are physiologically identical, which they are not. Are the affected by tobacco in the same manner? How much do they end up injesting from the typical butt?
Ask HN: Fellows, I would like to ask u please to give me feedback on my idea
An online video chat where you meet people by interests or occupations. There are two 2 roles. First - pitcher. Second - listener. The goal of the pitcher is to share his idea, get a feeback, and possibly find a co-founder(if the 2nd person is interested). The goal of the listener is to brainshtorm, give a feedback, possibly find an interesting startup to be a co-founder in. All meeting are sorted according to the interests or occupations.
The goal of a platform is to take the main aspect of the sillicon valley - the constant sharing of ideas, and the birth of unicorns in such atmosphere - and make it online.
Tell me please your opinion and would u use it?
Also, if u are interested to help to implement the idea, write me please
Ok, but which of his assertions are wrong?
This paper is neat!

More broadly, I am very concerned by how difficult it is to actually meaningfully run model explainability techniques on black-box models in the context of text/images in the real world. Most people are not AI researchers and do not want to deal with the hassle of trying random research code off of github (which usually is chalk full of bugs)

the ELI5 library implements LIME really well for text, and I have not found an equivalent with SHAP that has all of the same functionality (highlighting most important words and exporting in pretty HTML being the big one).

It's even worse when you start moving towards the neural network gradient explanations. There are libraries like Captum except in practice it fails on all the big-azz transformer language models I try to train. I'm still not sure as to how to run any of these gradient explanation methods on pytorch transformer models. Even if they do run, they don't display saliency maps with as much detail as the ELI5 library does...

There's so much good research in explainable AI, and so much engineering work which remains to be done! FFS I had to hack the hell out of ELI5/LIME to get it to work on clustering (and I still don't know why explainable clustering is not really done, and why I couldn't find an off-the-shelf solution for this.)
I can get a whole "not too bad for Italian standards" marinara for 3.5 euros and a very good margherita for 5-6.

For traditional toppings like mushrooms, pepperoni, sausages or anchovies add something between 0.5 and 1.5 euros.

That's for a take out or a delivery (it might sound strange but pizza being delivered costs a little bit less per sé, because it's considered of a lower quality, pizza should be eaten fresh from the oven, but add the delivery fee and the prices are more or less the same)

If you sit at a restaurant, it's usually a couple euros more.

And I'm talking about the prices I actually pay in Rome, in the city centre, I live at 5 minutes walking distance from the Colosseum.

If you go to a random park in Seattle, you'll see there are two types of parks - the ones where homeless people don't do much (yet?), and the ones where nobody else can do anything whatsoever. So I think that is a plus... saying "your park sucks because people cannot camp and do drugs in it" also sounds like lunacy to most people, so it's extra nice because you cannot make it sound like it's a bad thing, like some other exclusion policies that can be twisted and made into a strawman.

It's an interesting question, and one I'm not old enough to answer properly. From what I can tell, lisp was popular up until the 80s, where it was heavily used in AI. Then there's a reference to an AI winter, where I suspect OO languages gained a lot of traction and lisp fell out of fashion.

If you are keen on e-ink readers the Papyr from QuirkLogic seems pretty interesting (https://www.quirklogic.com/products/papyr). I am considering getting one myself. You can find some decent reviews on YouTube.

They recently had a software update so you can do split screens which seems very useful.
Okay, so type inference is the vital feature here.

It can help in a closed code base. In an open code base, you could inadvertently change a public API, breaking callers that are unknown to you, if the type signature of something public is inferred.
What about consumers they owe money to? Are they "creditors"? e.g. if you had "credits" from prepaid lessons, gift cards, sold gear etc, can you not get money back from them anymore until all their other creditors split the new loot first?
We have a tension between the best of ourselves and the worst of ourselves. When someone chooses to focus on the worst of ourselves, their pessimistic perspective, generally speaking, doesn't bring out the best in ourselves.

I do appreciate how they concluded:

> When given the choice, we optimize.

>

> Then we work.

Yes. Please focus on this. Our humanity is mostly best suited to receive positivity. Accept the negativity (read: unideal outcomes) but move forward with the positivity on building a better world. On building a world that understands more. On building a world that expresses abundance and joy.

The author seems to equate that work is somehow inherently evil. I'd say this is only true if it's a zero sum game but if it's an infinitely unbounded game then I'd say it's profitable to everyone.
Size does not matter

You will find a great variety of pizza sizes, from the giants to the tiny, I for example prefer smaller pizzas, I don't like feeling bloated after eating a big one, but the price is always the same (more or less, you can pay 15 euros for a pizza in Italy, but it's not the norm )

If you refer to the fact that pizza is usually shared in US, we have a different kind of pizza for that, it's called pizza al taglio (sliced pizza, but it's not really the same thing) and you can have an entire pan for 12-18 euros, but at least 4-5 people can feed on it and you can have different toppings
Many Madoff investors praised Madoff for many years for the amazing returns they received. Many of them more than doubled their investments many times over. So Madoff cannot have been a scammer.
> Reason Digg faded was that Reddit decentralized moderation across subreddits.

What ultimately killed Digg was the disastrous "Digg v4" redesign in 2010. Reddit's features helped it capture the fleeing users, but it was ultimately Digg's actions that triggered the mass migration, and Digg never really recovered.

Police brutality against Black people is a civil rights issue. BLM is a group of affiliated political organizations, and a slogan coined and popularized by those same organizations. Those organizations view the policing issue as just one symptom of a larger societal problem and advocates particular solutions not only to that problem, but to other problems that are, within their intellectual framework, related.

It’s the difference between “child malnutrition” and activist organizations that have particular explanations for and proposed solutions to that problem.

I used to live in an area where a nuclear power plant was being built.

I suspect there may be two different features (or degrees of features) here. Hot code reloading is indeed frequently used, but the corresponding ability to upgrade the entire application live (“hot swap”) is less so.

Perhaps tech corporates may have something to do with the reasons these people are trying to survive on the street?

I wouldn't blame FAANG specifically, because of course the problem is more complex than that. But there's a certain complacency involved in being young, educated, and in-demand - which can be knocked out of you far more easily than you might think when the next bust happens and suddenly you are the one on the street being told you're a bad neighbour.

This is not hyperbole. It has happened in every dot com recession, and it will happen to people you know - possibly even to you - in the next one.
A 1-bit error in a compressed file will cause every subsequent bit in the entire file to end up wrong (well, 50% of them), and probably the file length to end up wrong, and probably the decompression state machine to get stuck and confused. This is why basically all compressed formats carry a CRC (eg. zip, gz, xz).
Because nobody actually believes that. People only speak the language of mercy and tolerance when they're on their knees. When it's them in charge, they inevitably switch to the language of power and dominance.
As I said, your own views may not match the author's. One doesn't subtitle a passage 'the desire to transgress and destroy' and cite the 'sexual adventurism, celebration of perversion and all manner of sensuality' in great detail as an illustration of its relevance to the Russian Revolution to argue that Brendan Eich ought not to have felt the need to resign. If he was making a freedom of conscience argument rather than a decadence leads to totalitarianism argument he'd hardly be suggesting that it was lamentable that labourers were sufficiently far from village gossips and 'the church binding their conscience with guilt' to find comfort in sex.
I think that perhaps we have not yet adjusted to the full implications of the democratization of speech. Extreme opinions, held by the tiniest, most unhinged minorities, get amplified precisely because they are so unusual. In other words, its not so much that violent, racist ideologies are on the rise, as much as we have access to the ramblings of the entire country and the ideas that most easily stand out in the noise are the horrific ones.

Ignoring these guidelines can easily and quickly devolve into something that is tacky or even garish.
I think that is changing, though. G-Suite and the online versions of Office (Office365, I think?) are gaining a lot of traction in the business world. Live collaboration with other people is a huge benefit, and being a webapp saves the IT department many headaches.

The World needs more politics, not less. USA particularly needs more politics.
In a language and type system where the compiler infers all of the intermediate types, no.

The way effect systems are typically added to languages without this level of type system is that the effect "fails". Like making a database call in Python without "with use_database(...):" that provides the database context. In those languages and with those effects, typically the default behavior is the effect's methods are always available, but may either be a no-op/return a nullish value or throw an exception.

As an example, the way tracing works on Node.js is that you have to explicitly declare a span (or use a plugin for a framework which does that for you) and inside that span, you can do something like getSpanId() and it'll return a value. Outside a span, it returns null.

The worst case scenario is you have a language and framework where it's both difficult to annotate the types and difficult to provide some ambient context. In those cases, you're back to (essentially) passing your trace span, your logger, etc as arguments to every function again. Not ideal.
If you haven't read Landin's "The Next 700 Programming Languages", you should. I don't know if it's still outside the ACM paywall, but you'll find it in a web search if not. It introduced the offside rule -- not actually what Python has -- inspired by mathematical notation. Note "it can be mixed freely with [...] punctuation" (e.g. Haskell). The paper talks about "physical representations", relevant to syntax highlighting mentioned below (or "fontification" in Emacs, reminiscent of typefaces in the publication language of ALGOL).
Don’t trust Aaron Greenspan, he is a an extremely manipulative liar. He has a 16 year old grudge against mark zuckerburg because he believes that he (Aaron) actually invented facebook. i’m not kidding. after extorting mark zuckerburg for $250,000 in a bogus trademark dispute he then sued the makers of the movie the social network for not putting him in the movie. Aaron Greenspan is a truly monstrous human being who has stalked and threatened many of my friends. he is now suing me and Elon Musk because I spoke out about what he was doing

It's an imperfect metaphor. In SF it would be like the "invaders" are bringing the wealth with them but not sharing it; while in the larger context the "invaders" are coming in from an effectively failed state in order to take advantage of the wealth in the "invaded" state.

But yeah, in general, by the time you're a capital-A "Activist" you're not well able to see your own foibles and ironies. The mote in your neighbor's eye occludes the plank in your own, eh?
>#000 is already dark gray on any normal real-life screen

So? The contrast between 'black' and 'white' is still extreme relative to what people normally have around them. The same goes for the neon colors. They are 'diluted', but they're still incredibly garish and generally look unnatural. If you don't like the word 'unnatural' just replace it with 'digital looking'.

Now, looking 'unnatural' isn't necessarily bad (especially for a website interface) and something like text should definitely have a high contrast, but it's definitely something to keep in mind.

> I'm over here laughing in my "over an hour of CloudFormation only to have a run fail, and then a rollback fail, and have to contact AWS support" life.

Oh, I see I am not alone in having the same experience with the AWS CloudFormation (CF) update flow. I have started feeling "good enough" in CF after about 6-8 months to write templates from my memory (accompanied with a documentation page). The funny thing about the CF is fact, the all people I know had working flow based on searching GitHub/Gist over an example, edit, refine, deploy, push fixes, deploy, rinse & repeat.

In the blogpost I have noticed mentioned Pulumi. To be honest, I have not used it yet, but I have tried AWS CDK [0]. I suppose it is AWS's go-to solution for everybody who wants to use the CloudFormation for saving deployment stages and also have programmed templates in languages of their choice (like a TypeScript or Python). It is interesting solution that I suggest investigating if you haven't done already. It supports "importing" CF templates as-is, so they can be incrementally translated to CDK.

The quoted post is talking about the benefits of non action(are more than the implicit cost) where I think you are saying the costs of the action are more than the benefits.

Fires, hurricanes, extreme heat, and drought are made more frequent & severe by climate change, and they certainly kill people. Climate change also disrupts food systems and will cause civil war and mass migrations. Millions will need to migrate just from coastal flooding, which I'd imagine will cause plenty of geopolitical strife and ultimately lead to many deaths.

"Existential threat" in my mind means humanity itself is threatened. The species will likely survive but millions if not billions will die due to climate change.
On my iPad, I just use the Apple Books app as well. I don't find it to be great, but it is sufficient.

Since I am the OP, I'll note that while I don't like to print a lot of papers, I do inevitably print important ones. I fully agree on the Brother laser printer (only kind I have used, so not knocking other brands). Even printing in draft mode (saving on ink) is generally more readable than inkjet printing, in my experience.

I'll probably end up getting another iPad, but it has been interesting to see what other people use.
I think people scale their perception when looking at a screen, looking at white on black is too harsh for most uses with text these days. I personally think it looks really unprofessional and uninspiring going for the most possible contrast in a design.
It's a shame Python doesn't natively support easy invocation from command line. It really shoots down a whole class of applications where bash is getting used but Python would be so much better.

I've ended up using Groovy for this level of scripting, and it works really well.
Introducing generic types doesn't make the function-coloring problem go away.

Now, instead of having a single function that has some effects, you have a family of closely-related functions, each with different effects. These functions are incompatible with each other. The function-coloring problem has gotten worse! :)

(Generic types are still useful though.)
I don't think this analogy holds. In the Madoff example, returns were quite literally only on paper, as they were fabricated out of thin air.

As someone who runs ads on Facebook, I can tell you that we saw an immediate lift in revenue and profitability as soon as we started. Internally we actually believe Facebook is misattributing Facebook driven purchases to the low side, as various ad blocking tools like uBlock may be interfering with this attribution matching.

For the Madoff analogy to hold, Facebook would have be going to our site and making just enough purchases to convince us to continue to run ads on Facebook.

From the view of the business, I couldn't care less of how many fake accounts are on Facebook. As long as money in < money out, we're going to keep running ads on Facebook.
