From where I am, there are abstractions coded for APIs in the layers of - topmost API layer, then Business logic and the 3rd DAO layer. Even though there is only one implementation everytime of these layers, this structuring alone has helped maintaining the code so much easier, as everyone even across teams goes by this structure while defining any API. Can't even imagine just coding functions in large codebases without a pre-defined structure, it can become brittle over time.
Motte and bailey. You're making an argument for ejecting people for memes and alleged dog whistles, not for being overt white supremacists.

Political systems not tethered to the murder of millions present arguments for the existence of a statistical correlation between race and parental income that are legitimate and in good faith.
I had the misfortune of talking to a psychopath recently who admitted to intentionally killing a pedestrian. It made me wonder how many traffic deaths are actually homicides. Legally there is zero accountability so it's the perfect crime.
Well, there you go:P

> Reddit, in its earlier days, was never dominated by the Voat contingent.

Reddit never had free speech as a key attracting point. People came to reddit not because it was free speech, but because there was good conversations and content there.

Reddit's early "free speech attitude" came about mostly because they had a staff of 4 people who spend all their time trying to keep the site from crashing as it scaled. It was a stance of convenience which they kept as long as possible.

Vote explictly advertised it as a "free speech alternative to reddit". Free speech was it's number one advertising point. It's really not surprising it instantly attracted the wrong type of users and drove away everyone else.
If you hash the concatenated string result, and use the hash as your password, it also means your horcrux wouldn't be at all visible to services. That's a lot of extra work though.
>but what they have is established processes and supply chain management, and that takes decades to do right.

From my long time reading on HN, 99.99% of HN have absolutely zero visibility and knowledge on anything with Supply Chain.

I mean even the Web Industry and Programmers all jumped on to Cloud computing they dont have have the concept of "lead time" anymore.
This can't happen. JSON does not have references.
If you are into cloud - the merge of telecom and cloud computing. More vertical integration in in the internet, telecom companies will start competing with AWS or AWS will become a telecom operator. Latency sensitivity will be a substantial moat of your product and more people will compete to be "on the edge" as much as possible.
When was this, though? There have been major changes in the college loan situation over the last 20 years or so....
Many aspects of a programming language can make it nasty or hard to use under certain contexts. This is something most programmers are aware of through experience.

My point is, that the use of combinators and point free programming formally eliminates organizational technical debt. So for this specific issue, Joy should indeed be better by logic.
I completely disagree, and I have a degree in electronics engineering.

Engineering is simply using knowledge & resources to develop systems or processes that solve human problems. When you're developing software to solve human problems, that is absolutely engineering.
Non-public networks are a thing... And there are other patch delivery mechanisms...

This stuff was solved BEFORE the Internet was in widespread use.
> Turns out the math was right.

Actually, turns out the math was right with a cosmological constant: that's how the accelerating expansion of our universe is explained. Einstein actually blundered twice: first by putting in the constant for the wrong reason (because he wanted a static universe), but then taking it out again when it turned out that reason wasn't the case (when the expansion of the universe was discovered).

If you just look at how to derive the Einstein Field Equation of General Relativity from first principles, the constant should be there; it isn't an add-on to General Relativity at all, it's part of it. It's just that there's no way to know from those first principles what its value is. That we had to figure out from observations.
Still lacking good tools in our own toolbox. If ides could expand function calls inline (not a header in a glassbox, but right in code), both worlds could benefit from that. Expand all calls depth 2 and there is a detailed picture. Collapse branches at edit-time based on passed flags/literals and there is your specific path.
I poked around with some older URL's I had - worked well to my surprise
Reproducibility is a spectrum. A good starting point is to snapshot the exact version of the code that produced a model. Even better, you should snapshot the full dependency graph, including transitive dependencies, of all (compiled) libraries, which Metaflow does with @conda. Together with data snapshots, this gives a pretty good foundation for reproducibility.

Depending on the libraries you use, the exact results may or may not be reproducible on other architectures. If cross-platform reproducibility is important to you, you should choose your libraries accordingly. Metaflow provides the tools for choosing the level of reproducibility that your application requires.
Let's hope Siri will evolve better than the auto correct on iOS in this instance to interface to all these appliances.
Yes, I believe this. I was on the fence about a Tesla for years. Something just didn't sit right with the experience inside one. I don't feel that with a BMW, so I got a 3 year lease, specifically timed for when I think the Apple car will drop.
Well US tv anime viewer sees the (arguably) top 1% of anime from 10-20 years ago and there are huge followings for all of those in Japan but for the most part its drowned out by the constant deluge of mediocre content. Japanese anime fans tend to follow what is currently popular, it is a kind of disposable pop culture for the most part. You see this also with youtube vaporwave artists bringing back Japanese 80s city pop that no one remembers in Japan or if they do they just say “wow that song is so old”. I think the US in recent times has much bigger culture of curating classic pop culture.
500 years from now - a shockingly small slice of time in the history of human evolution, our understanding of the universe has changed a lot. Folks, if you’re reading this from the future - we are currently mostly clueless but have made some solid progress. GIFs load 10x faster than they did just 10 years ago! This virus thing has been a real pain in the ass though.
The rule of 3 is catchy like you say, which means programmers will have a better chance of remembering when it's needed.
I get paid for oncall. Why would I do it otherwise?
Losing sight of falsification as one of the primary drivers of good science has not been good for the scientific community.

Reluctance to interpret results in a certain way is how you end up with tainted data.

Every cosmologist worth their salt who thinks Dark Matter is the One True Way and that MOND (or anything else) is malarkey should re-evaluate what it means to be a scientist and start trying to falsify Dark Matter immediately.
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs and How to Design Programs are good intros to functional programming in Scheme. They're both free online.

Yet both Skripals survived. Instead, Russians assassinated a random UK citizen, Dawn Sturgess.

The pattern of incompetence fits nicely.
That's because it violates Occam's razor. That doesn't disprove the existence of a God, of course, but it makes it less likely if you accept Occam's razor to some degree.

The reason it violates Occam's razor is because it is the strongest possible axiom you can include in a system. Why does anything happen? Because God. That's not a very interesting theory in that it can predict anything without offering any reasons or insights.

Not to mention, we have no direct observational evidence of such an entity.
I don't know of a plugin, but you can sorta do something kinda like the thing ish if you squint and cross your fingers...

You can perform actual in-place calculations by using the expression register. So for example:

= 2 + 2
<insert mode cursor here>

Then something like `<C-r>=eval(getline('1h')[2:])` will end up with:

= 2 + 2
4

If you regularly did so writing a more robust mapping would probably useful.

And using regular :global you could perform similar operations across a file with `:g/^= / <expression replacement>`

I think the real solution would be just to use evil-mode in emacs when you wish to use things like literate-calc-mode. I do that for org-mode because it is just so much more powerful than the basic vim plugin for org-mode files.

> Is it something very difficult in vim?

Since 8.2 was released you can use popupwin¹ to emulate something similar. I'd probably give it a go if you wrote it :P

It is a real shame you can't use a funcref(or even multiple characters) for conceal replacement, or you could simply add a conceal² for => to show the result. Such functionality would also be nice for inlining computed types in various languages too.

Air Fryer. I was always the pessimist...it's just a convection oven afterall, right. Finally bought one and am a convert. We use that thing almost daily.

Not great, honestly.

I read a mis-aligned value prop

* For community builders

* That provides instant 2 click forum creation

For me, community building is something that takes time and effort, but your value prop suggests "quick and easy". I think, community building is something that takes a lot of time, is 2-clicks vs an hour of setup a big deal? Probably not.

I think an alternative angle is making is as easy as possible for people to setup a community for their product. "Get a community for your product in just 2-clicks".

Or, you need to focus on how your product makes community building easier: "A batteries-included community building platform".
I thought I hated small functions too, til I realized I just hated scrolling. The moment it's off my screen, it's out of my head.

Assuming you just need helper functions for f(), compare

int f(int x)
{
return g(h(x));
}

int g(int x)
{
return ...
}

int h(int x)
{
return ...
}

to

f = g . h
where g = ...
h = ...

Turns out my language choice was the problem, not over-abstraction. If you can fit it all on one screen, then have at it tbh.
I'm not really sure how this relates to the parent comment. On that original point, it seems crystal clear that a large chunk of the population is easily impressionable and can get quickly swept up in to batshit insane conspiracy theories and cults. There is no bubble here, we can see by the sheer number of supporters these conspiracy theories have that they are a very serious problem and we need to come up with solutions rather than going "Ah well it'll be alright"
I find it completely disappointing and disheartening that the west has done almost nothing to curb the virus, thus increasing the chance of mutation and continued spread. It's just hard to see the pointing of fingers at China that's happened, especially in hindsight when it's unclear if it even began in China (which doesn't really matter anyway if it was a naturally occurring zoonotic crossover event) and not somewhere else like Italy, but the west has just rolled over to the threat of the virus in its response. Meanwhile, life in China has been basically normal for a while.

It further drives me crazy because I am still disconnected from my family because the U.S. still refuses to allow my fiancée to travel back (she lives and works in the U.S.) from the country best dealing with this to to the worst. It's just sickening there's no support for people like us, and now it looks like it can only get worse in the west.
There are too many myths peddled about Japan, internally and externally, to list here, and the article provides just one more example. It's not just the media's desire to draw wide ranging conclusions from specific, interesting stories, but also due to Japanese culture itself, a culture of putting appearances before truth, conveniently wrapped up in the (ironically) anodyne phrase "don't disturb the wa". One dangerous example being the distortion of the truth about COVID-19 spread in the run up to the Olympics. I expect the same over the next few months.

As to the larger picture though, I'm not sure why anyone trusts journalists nowadays. In an age of greater access to information their previous stranglehold on "the truth" has repeatedly been shown to be a sham and trusting factcheckers seems to be repeating exactly the same mistake over again but with added naïveté - "Oh, they're factcheckers, that must be true! Giving them that title immediately renders these humans incapable of bias…". The article even wants us to continue to swallow the blatant lie that some reasonably large proportion of stories go through a "rigorous fact-checking process" and even then couldn't withstand lies from sources. Please, you may as well tell me Santa is really going to drop off my presents this year, which would nice given the chaos at ports (thanks again, COVID-19 and lies about contagion).

The "age of big data" and democratised access to data and communication (something that governments and media companies, old and new, have been seeking to reverse) has inadvertently created an "age of epistemology" for which most seem unprepared, journalists being among the least prepared.

I have precisely zero sympathy.
That's a rolling dumpster file.

"Or maybe he just made stuff up? You don't need drugs for that."

It wasn't just him, though.

According to the paper:

"These early Church members sought direct experience with God and believed that Joseph Smith had the power to grant their desires. Confidence in their Prophet was not misplaced. Between 1829 and 1836, under the supervision of Joseph Smith, many early Mormon converts enjoyed heavenly visions and spiritual raptures."

"It appears that soon after the Church was organized in New York and later in Ohio, members partook of wine in sacrament meetings which occasioned visionary states and strange behaviors not typically associated with alcohol consumption or intoxication..."

"However, after Joseph’s death in 1844, the great visionary period of Church history came to an end. ... So stark was the dearth of visionary experience that in 1864, twenty years after Joseph Smith’s death, members would ask Mormon Apostle George A. Smith, "...why it is that we do not see more angels, have more visions, that we do not see greater and more manifestations of power?""
I don’t know, the physical switches on the steering wheel do about 90% of what I need while driving.

Anyways, Tesla computer interface is so much nicer to work with than the system on my 2014 Honda Odyssey: the software there has all sorts of arbitrary limitations that makes things like “playing” music irritating. Plus, traditional car manufacturers do crazy things like treating the “navigation package” as a premium feature or whatever. Not to mention that the Tesla gets OTA updates regularly while I’m mostly stuck with whatever bugs or limitations my Honda had when it was built (unless I take it to a dealership and ask for the firmware to be updated.)
A lot of it probably started out as performative, but later became sincere -- either as users on the site became further radicalized, or as the site became a magnet for users who actually believed the awful things they were saying.
This is a good way of putting it. For example, my neighbor reminds me a lot of my father, in a good way. I make sure I don’t just tell friends about this, but I share it with him (he’s about 30 years older than me). I don’t need to do this, but I express it because I know it conveys how much I appreciate the person being around. Other examples are simpler, such as noticing someone’s flat tire and bringing it up to them, complimenting a new hairstyle etc.

Another time a deli worker at the grocery recommended a good turkey flavor, when I saw him next (it was weeks later) I made sure I told him how much I enjoyed it. I then told someone next to me (unsure of what to get) how the man put me on to a delicious flavor (boars head sausalito FYI). I still say “how are you doing sir” when I see this man working and I’m shopping. He remembers me even masked.

All of this really just involves taking things you notice and instead of keeping it to yourself, sharing it! It’s worth doing! I don’t do it for any selfish reasons (except maybe to keep my observation skills sharp). I genuinely feel an appreciation for sharing things I notice about others as they live their lives. My only hope is it makes them feel good about themselves.
I wonder if this is a reaction to, or retaliation for Kim Dotcom.

Most places with on call shifts (that I've worked for at least - VC funded tech companies) treat it as a responsibility like any other for a salaried worker. I'm sure individuals have quietly negotiated special deals as they tend to do, but it's definitely not a common practice to pay extra for it specifically.
Ah that seems so obvious now that you mention it - a sort of "thin client" model - but I was genuinely confused finding an X11 binary on a company AS400 the other day. Granted, that machine is older than I am. At least that binary makes sense now.
> But yeah, for every polite person in some isolated corner there were 50 screaming about politics on the front page.

I checked the front page, and they're still screaming, with only difference between now and 2016 being the lack of pro-Trump screams. Good riddance, but the total perceived amount of screaming did not change much for me.

The best one is companywide code freeze well before the actual holidays (minimum 3-4 days before). That gives you 3-4 days to discover a whole slew of possibly nasty things and revert them before the week happens.

This keeps the likelihood of anything actually bad happening during the holidays way, way down.
Neutrons bonk into stuff. If you're at a rave in a 100ft by 100ft warehouse, you look around and see four other people, but you keep bonking into ... something ... that you can't see every inch you move, you would surmise something is up.

If dark matter were a cloud of slow neutrons, we would know quite a bit about it. Actually we wouldn't because we'd all be dead, but that's a different story.
Why? Both JSON strings and their deserialized value's memory usage grows only linearly if you nest stuff (unless you're doing something dumb).

By that logic they should also add -MaxArrayLength to make the parser stop parsing long JSON arrays, -MaxProperties to make it only parse object properties up to a limit, -MaxStringLength to only make it parser strings up to a certain length...

It's completely pointless.
Okay. I’ve been in mobile app development pre-iphone, when microsoft had smart phones. Since 2006. Have done native iphone since the first SDK was shipped in 2008. And android when it was available. Did Ionic, xamarin, react-native.

Shipped mobile banking, digital wallets and crypto wallets to 21 million customers, as architect and lead.

And yet, here we are in 2020... still there is this fantasy about xyz framework flavor of the year... write once... run everywhere...

Magical silver bullet to save time and development costs.

Because, who wants to learn the native language for the mobile platform.

And every single code once, write anywhere framework leads exactly to it’s own tradeoffs.

Let’s explore each.

React-native - if you enjoy debugging this is your platform of choice. Have an obscure nodejs open source library you are dependent on? That is being deprecated? Have fun maintaining and upgrading it yourself. Or how about 2000 security warnings you need to resolve... yeah, you’ll code once... and debug everywhere.

Like Iconic? - you won’t when iOS decides to upgrade the OS. And the look and feel and your app suddenly looks like it is a decade out of date. Good luck upgrading the look and feel... re-write on next flavor of the platform.

Like xamarin bc you like C#? Have fun learning microsoft’s unique mobile paradigm. As well as needing to understand how iOS and android paradigm’s work. And debugging across 3 platforms... trying to isolate whether the memory leak is on the microsoft or iOS side of things.

The reality is this. There are tradeoffs. And you are really only trading one pain for another pain.

Learning the native tools and languages are only one kind of pain. And the least painful.
This may have been true at one time, but in the age of Youtube videos and live broadcasts being a popular vehicle for all of the above, I don't think folks care anymore about anonymity.

It's a toxic race for attention and engagement to either a.) generate revenue, b.) acquire some taste of "fame", or c.) both. Being anonymous plays a role in some corners of the internet, but the ones that are contributing the most to the cultures you mention above don't depend on anonymity. They're being perpetuated and propped up by very knowable online identities, and I highly doubt the folks doing the propping think they're safely anonymous.
I regularly drive my ancient Bronco 2 and sometimes a newish car with the touch display. I spend less than a second glancing at any control on the Bronco. It's so bad on the touch display I sometimes have to pull over to figure out how to get the fracking defroster on. It's even impossible to tell if it is on or off, you just have to wait and stick your hand on the base of the windshield. In Seattle having a working defroster is "flight critical" as they say. It's not a joke, but the controls are a joke.

BTW, "defrost" is a verb, and pictures are for things, not verbs. So I never know which stupid icon means "defrost". Lack of verbs is why picture written languages evolve into phonetic alphabets. I predict in 20 years Apple will announce a great breakthrough in user interfaces - words!

rant, grumble, rant, grumble, harrumph

BTW, I have no idea what a defog control does that defrost doesn't.
Could be a honeypot maneuver. The raison d’etre for Voat.
I think this application is great! 30 years ago, I emigrated to US when I was 13 years old. I knew only 26 letters and maybe one hundred words. I had to bring up my language skill up to high school level within few years so I can graduate high school and kept my grade good enough in order to enter college. Retain vocabulary through reading is what works for me. It is difficult to remember words without context. Back then, I started with toddler's book then progressed to young adult science fictions. I enjoyed the fastest progress with young adult fictions. I think what you created is very helpful for kid. I will try it out with my son. I am back to Asia now and try to teach my son English.
I really wish people would stop using GIFs for video. Use at least H.264 for those cat videos -- 24-bit color and much better compression than GIF.
