IMO it doesn't.

But if it becomes the default for the 56 million GitHub developers, is it really freedom of speech?

I don't disagree with renaming the default branch and I've been using the name develop as the default branch for 2 years now, but I am still not sure that changing it globally on a global platform qualifies as "good behaviour".

Edit:

If you disagree, can you please write a comment stating why you do?

It would be very helpful, if I am saying something obviously wrong I would love to understand why.

Thanks!
When the lead arrives, it looks just like any other organic lead from someone searching on Google. You literally have no idea whether your leads are coming from robocalls.

So how is a company supposed to be careful? Throw away ALL organic leads?
I didn’t check, but the terms of service surely state that you must only enter your own active card numbers for which you are the authorized account holder.

Doing otherwise -> access in excess of authority -> CFAA violation

Just because you can easily walk through an unlocked door doesn’t mean doing so is always legal.
I like the system, with your permission I'd love to use it in innovation workshops I run occasionally

I like your site too, I'll probably subscribe to test a few ideas, the subscription model feels a bit weird though, I don't plan on having ideas every month or to run a survey on a particular ideas for months on end. Just my two cents.

That means nothing, of course it was caught, otherwise we'd never had heard about it. We can only speculate about the ones that haven't been caught...
I think you're connecting two points he made that weren't connected.

On the one hand, open source projects make for an environment where bad actors could propose changes to the software that include these bug/backdoors. The benefit to the open source arena is that these changes can easily be analyzed and tested.

In Microsoft's case, the source being visible but not editable is still a real risk (assuming the bad actor is able to extract the data they're viewing for further analysis), because they can use the source to determine avenues for attack.

The fact that is was read-only does help ensure that no new attack vectors were created, but it still increases the chance of new attack vectors being found/used in the future.

>unethical actors not getting punished

I'm surprised that this basic foundation of the popularity of "cancel culture" doesn't get pointed out more. It's dead obvious, and something virtually everybody can sympathize with, whether they admit it or not - but people want to find other, more easily attackable qualities to describe cancel culture as being "about". Like most topics that consist mostly of irrational side-taking, it would be a lot less messy to just criticize specific examples, instead of making it into culture war on purpose by forcing it into the mold of the monolithic "them" vs the monolithic "us".
Hollow Knight isn't really a rogue on the difficulties it was designed for. That aside, I like rogues. Specifically I like starting games out. Assessing one's starting positioning and creating a long term strategy is fun. It's a lot like board games. It also asks you to learn generalized strategies that work well, vs. other games which, when there's no consequence for loss. In a rogue, you need to play in a style that is consistently effective. In a traditional game, you might as well trend towards a high variance strat instead, that's kind of dumb but might just work.

I'm growing weary of progression systems though. Darkest Dungeon, Enter the Gungeon, and 20XX are a few titles I've played in the past year where I got annoyed at feeling like endgame content was designed for having certain permanent upgrades and didn't really want to grind them out. A lot of these games have an inflection point at the very end where the difficulty ramps up suddenly. Playing through the first 90% of a game many times is a bit dull after a while. Especially if you feel like practicing early levels does nothing for efficacy later on.
They've been way more stable than MacOS updates recently too. That has to say something about the processes Microsoft has in place to QA.

As an outsider I don't follow much USA politics, so apologies if I got the gist wrong and I'd appreciate corrections.
For my bias, I mainly read left wing publications, listen to right wing YouTubers and I'm an anarcho-capitalist.

The claim sold by the media was that Russia "hacked" the elections, making Trump win.
(that was before this year's message that election meddling is highly unlikely)

What was found out was contact with Russia to dig dirt on Trump's opponents.

Sure, it may be illegal, but that's hardly interesting.
This honestly would not surprise me. I’m kinda glad there’s an explanation, but I’m also annoyed it’s a stupid one
Work at MS, that term has been used for a long time internally, certainly longer than I have worked here. It really is very useful to be able to go find the code for a product when you want to understand how something works.
I actually use <button> with appearance:none specifically for accessibility. You get all of the benefits of a button's accessibility, focus, click events, normal tabbing, etc, and can use them for things like toggling an accordion of content or showing/hiding a mobile menu. Better than a div because you don't need aria-role, and better than a link because it is not taking you anywhere.

As pointed out up thread, developers and designers often skip using <button> because it is hard to style just right. Using appearance:none resets the style but not the accessibility behavior.
I'm warming up to the idea that decades start on 1 since there is no year 0. 2020 finally did it.

You've created a false dichotomy. Publishing a study that concludes that racial background correlates with SAT score isn't controversial. Pretty much everyone agrees that this is the case today.

Publishing a study that concludes that, because of this, black people are innately less intelligent than others (and not, for example, that environmental or social factors are to account), would be controversial.
Happy new year, all!
I disagree — as a direct result of play #7 in this playbook, multiple large-scale initiatives were launched; most notably 18F, which is like a "startup" within the federal government:

Absolutely! You can use it for whatever you want, as long as you credit it. What monetization model do you think would work better?
Do you think buildings shouldn’t be wheelchair accessible, because not many people are wheelchair bound? Most western societies have made the decision culturally that even though its disproportionately expensive, that the cost is worth spending to (as much as is reasonable) make things accessible. (Legislators are on board in many countries too.)

I see your point - this website is really cool and its classic HN to have the top comment complain about a minor point. But also, because accessibility and security are invisible to most of us, vigilance is the only way it’ll happen.
Yeah this meshes with my experiences working at the NIH. Lots of interest in big data, AI, etc. etc., and even financial incentives for new hires in those areas, but absolutely no coordinated approach to recruitment, retention, or project management. A few labs or support groups end up with great teams, but mostly tech knowledge is redundantly siloed in small mediocre groups across dozens of teams institutes-wide. And that's not even touching on IT issues...
>Do you disagree with the characterization

Surely this is why - there's nothing else subjective in the post.
Some people I work with have had major issues with Conda packaging. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. This can be especially tricky when you’re working with system libraries with competing versions. I still have no idea how a particular set of tools has ever run, given their configuration. The exact same Conda packages work on a local Mac, but fail on a Linux server. It can be frustrating. Because of this, I try to avoid it as much as possible.

I think Conda is trying too hard to hit the middle ground between full containers (Docker or Singularity) and virtualenv’s. If your program is too complicated to be managed with a venv, it’s better to package it up as a full container and be done with it.

Also, I don’t think Conda would have helped here when the problem is lack of specific Python versions installed at the system level. On a Mac (and everywhere, really), I try my best to avoid the main system Python install and use a user-local (compiled) install when I need a specific version that isn’t available by default.
That we need to reopen US schools ASAP.

Much of the US social safety net (what of it exists) happens through local public schools. The long term health consequences of having schools closed, in some cases up to a year, will be staggering.

Most western countries have reopened their schools. Germany weeks after the initial lockdown. UK largely this year.

Already in my town we are seeing a spike in crime. It seems in part attributable to marginal families with not hope or outlet having little access to education, opportunities, or needed services. I really worry about the long term consequences. Not to mention if you are in an abusive home environment with no hope for escape. The ACEs study has firmly established the long term health impact of childhood trauma.

I previously was unaware or not conscious of how bad this could be until recently, and had a fairly lax attitude towards schools reopening. I now feel more strongly about reopening in some fashion.

If you haven't already read the Acts of Cain books by Matthew Stover, definitely recommend those for a cool mix of fantasy and scifi. Also the main character is a total badass.
DCSS is a great game. I wouldn't say it has much in the way of lore or world building. One thing that DCSS does very very well is it gives you a wide range of starting combos that are NOT equally balanced. Some are much easier/harder/nuanced than others. That's fun.
I worked at an org where you couldn’t do anything without and being assigned a Jira ticket. Want to refactor some code so the feature your working on is maintainable, nope you need an assigned Jira ticket. The fact that work units are called tickets and Jira was built originally for desktop support is the foundation of the problem. Don’t think, just code attitude.

Anything is better than Jira including post it notes on a wall.

> Scientific work should be judged on the basis of scientific merit

Depressing that this even has to be said. Reality has no obligation to be politically acceptable.
> I think we all agree there was no out of the box button with the exact functionality and styling the project needed

We don't agree on that. Styling a real button to look the same way this does would require basically the same amount of work as styling a div. The only difference for most people is that you would need to search for a style clear for buttons, which will be the first result in DuckDuckGo: https://css-tricks.com/overriding-default-button-styles/

And it's a little bit debatable if you even want that style clear, because you should be using some of the stuff that buttons give you for free like graphical changes when the button is pressed, visual indication of focus, etc... That's all stuff that the final developer didn't even know they were missing from the final project.

So it's not even really a question about "does the button look exactly like what I want." Many times, 'exactly what the dev wants' is explicitly the wrong choice to make. Most developers don't know every graphical effect and interaction that a button should have, and they shouldn't have to. The point of native components is to make this stuff easier; you don't have to think about every interaction and use case that every non-typical user might require.

----

In Firefox, I opened the dev tools, changed the div to a button, and added one line of CSS:

border: none;

And the button looks exactly the same as the div, except now it's visually focusable and accessible. Same is true in Chrome. And those are likely the only two rendering engines that the original developer cares about, it's not like IE11 is worth supporting for a WASM IDE.

No bikeshedding needed here, I didn't even need to look up a button reset style.

Why is this flagged? This is a reasonable, decently worded request. I see no reason why it should not be posted and discussed here.
Not really, the point of having these people is for them to make product and ux decisions. It’s my job to implement the use case they come up with (or quit): I can provide technical advice and suggest easier/better ways to solve their problems but, ultimately, it’s their call.
This is an eloquent stating of my own position. It's roughly compatible with the growing centrism political movement in the US: the desire to improve the current situation without destroying the very delicate things that allow for modern civilization.
Almost entirely fiction here (literary, contemporary, book club type novels mostly, occasional genre).

I enjoy the occasional history-focused narrative non-fiction, but like to use reading as escapism, so prefer stories.
Based on what other commenters have said, it sounds like the button is implemented in a custom react component. In that case ideally it should be as simple as changing the component to output a button instead of a div, with some css to remove the default button styling. Which would be the equivalent of translating a decent chunk of a website to French with one tiny change.

> how do you know if it's the graduate student's fault or the experiment's fault?

Usually by

- checking the original publications to make sure you are repeating the experiment correctly

- checking (and monitoring) the experimental setup to make sure it is doing what you think it is doing and you aren't introducing errors

- checking the data analysis

- running "sanity check" experiments with the same setup to make sure it has no obvious flaws

- comparing with recent replication experiments by other researchers

- showing that the experiment and results are repeatable by multiple people in different organizations with their own lab setups

- consulting with the original authors (who may be helpful or unhelpful) if they are available

- comparing against other data sets

- comparing against results from analytical modeling or simulation

- looking for alternate explanations of the anomalous results and checking for whether they might be occurring

etc.

As others have noted, the same methods apply to sorting out conflicting experimental results regardless of who conducts the experiments.
Hans Peter Richter wrote multiple young adult historical fiction books about the rise of Hitler, which have been translated to English and are very approachable. His most famous is Friedrich. They were written in the 80s, which isn't exactly modern but is certainly more recent than Herman Hesse.

Not recent at all, but as you mentioned Goethe, the comparatively lower class playwright Friedrich Schiller was considered to be his intellectual equal and rival.

>> That means not publishing papers, articles or comments to the effect that "women can't do science" or bell curve arguments about some races being less intellectually capable than others. That is also hounding people out of science.

I disagree with this: why is it hounding people out of science?

Let's say I publish a paper that literally says "Gender/race/whatever can't do science" or "Group X has N points lower IQ than group Y at the mean".

Who does that keep out of the field? And how? I think it keeps nobody out of anything.

Unlike the cancel-culture playbook (call their boss, name and shame, call the cops citing emotional violence, etc.) publishing a paper like that has virtually no effect on any members of the group in question.

Speaking personally, I do my best to reconcile a spiritual practice and spiritual beliefs, which I believe are separate from empirical truth, with an intellectual rigor about the latter. Again, this something I apsire to, not always achieve.

This is a complex topic, and I think a little orthogonal to the main point I was making, and also Nadia's essay. For some reason, the story of the Mormon archaeologists such as Thomas Stuart Ferguson comes to mind - they had to struggle to reconcile these two poles (which were in strong tension), and for the most part ended up keeping their cultural ties to the church while feeling a loss of their personal religious faith.

The cutoff point is simply the point where modern politics tempts people to fire off streams of sarcastic quips instead of discussing the evidence and why they believe it. I've never seen for example the ATF gunwalking scandal described as a "conspiracy theory", because the people calling out the ATF focused on concrete evidence for specific accusations of wrongdoing.

We can look at why it was caught (people paying attention to commits, policy of requiring commits to be properly signed off), and conclude that it would be difficult to add anything without being caught. Or, put differently, if you believe that bad actors can get around that level of precautions, you might as well give up because everything else would be equally compromised.
For pure entertainment and nothing else, Lonesome Dove. It was the first Western I read. I did not think I’d like it because it’s a Western... just not my thing. I was very wrong. I went on to read the other books in the series, but you don’t need to. They each stand on their own.

Still not sure I’ll ever read another Western, but this book was a gem. I believe it has been made into films twice, although I did not watch them.
