This argument always reminds me of the evergreen dril tweet: https://twitter.com/dril/status/473265809079693312?lang=en (cw: profanity). You've rhetorically zoomed out so far that only the most abstract description of the category of the action is up for discussion. But this is begging the question - there's no reason that this must be the case.

This rhetorical trick of categorizing all of these as "private companies denying service," is the same one used by those who opposed anti-discrimination laws. Should an ice-cream store be able to kick out a person pissing on the floor? Should they be able to kick out a black person for being black? In each case, it's simply "a private company doing whatever they want." But, obviously, these two cases are not the same.

Personally, I think it's quite a different thing to kick people who incite violence off your social media platform than it is to ban sex-workers from using you as a payment processor. And, because they are different actions, with different intent and effects, it is, of course, possible to think "Hey, it's good that [x] is happening, but bad that [y] is happening."

I completely disagree. The context in which speech is uttered has bearing on whether it is likely to cause immanent [sic] lawless action. If someone else says January 18th, and you provide concrete suggestions and a plan to do so, without mentioning January 18th, you're not magically off the hook.
Please post a link to the terms of service of your water company.

I'm doubtful there is no clause in your city's/county's/municipality's/state's, etc. that allows them to interrupt service without cause. That's why terms of service exist.

Now I'm genuinely curious to find out what terms of service you agreed to with the private water company. What type of settlement do you live in?

Yeah, configuring systemd with Nix changed it from annoyance to a pleasure for me. Instead of fiddling with a bunch of random .service files, you can just do everything in a nix config and have them generated for you. Complex systems involving a bunch of units (services, timers, paths, whatever) can all be in one single place--alongside the service config. You can easily share defaults between units.

It's so much nicer than doing it ad-hoc.

Don't know why you're being downvoted. People pay for IDEs all the time since it benefits their productivity but seem to have a problem when Microsoft release free proprietary tools.

Maybe someone can explain what the issue is because I don't see it.
My clarification was just to try to bring clarity to the discussion because a lot of times (as seen in the thread) there is some confusion.

I’m curious how what you just said translates into real world application?

Not trying to argue I am genuinely interested to hear more!
And I just I want to add,

As long as the Internet exist, ( not only the Web, but the Net ) you are only pushing these people to other places. And possibly to an invitation only sub group. They will form its circle in Telegram or other means of media. A bit slower than they first appeared. But the power of internet meant that movement is still relatively quick. And with the power of Hyperlink, news and information spread just as fast as they are in a single group.

So the platform isn't Facebook, Twitter or Youtube, It is the Internet. Or the name information super highway really describe the point better. Which sort of brings the question of regulating the internet but we wont go into that for now.

There is another point wroth mentioning. The making of decent fake news that cant be easily rebutted is far easier than the time and money required to spent for Fact Checking. Not to mention most people dont bother Fact Checking in the first place.

Having been on the other side of the fence with freedom of speech taken away, I agree with parent and grand parent;

Freedom of speech is of extremely high importance for any free society and should not be taken for granted

I think deplatforming is a bad solution to this problem.
The strict health response also needs to be fast enough to actually have an effect.

NYC had very strict measures in its first lockdown but because of the timing it was closing the barn doors after the horse left. If you get bad, it doesn't seem possible to revert to much lower without an extremely long, extremely strict lockdown (Wuhan was 76 days, for which you couldn't even really leave your home and party cadres were running food for people.)
One of my high school classmates wrote a paper about this that was pretty prescient.

I remember it because I thought is was insane, and then we worked together at a summer gig and talked about it at length - he flipped me. Prediction that were key was a long war in the early 2000s and significant unrest in the 2020-2030 timeline.

His rationale was that the fall of the Soviets would take about 10-15 years to have a real impact on US policy and the 2020-30 timeframe was when the ruined farmers (caused by the policies of the 80s and 90s) passed the torch to the next generation in full and the broader ex-urban economy would be dead beyond redemption.

He was a brilliant kid, who unfortunately passed away too young in an accident.

I would tell those people the good pots weren’t the first ones, they were the last ones. Which suggests smashing the poorly built prototype and starting over.

In other words I read it as an elaboration on “practice makes perfect.” Or, there’s no substitute for experience. (100% true in my... er, experience, across several different fields.)

One of the first pieces of advice I got in my career was about a study on expertise. (Wish I had a reference.) The authors wanted to know what made the experts different from the non-experts. You know what the difference was? Reps. That’s it.

Now, as someone who has taught a technical, challenging, and all-encompassing field—by which I mean a field that covers not just a knowledge domain but also psychomotor skills and personal values—I can tell you that some people do bring more natural ability at the start. But even those folks don’t achieve mastery without the reps.

What kind of evidence are you seeking?
Simply from my own experience in dealing with U.S. legal documents, specifically U.S. law, it is usually enough to Google the terms and understand the meaning. If the phrasing is convoluted to the point of needing Academics explain it, then it's usually defined by a court ruling on its meaning.

Terms of service is generally easier to read because it's more simplified and typically doesn't use Latin or existing legal language that is uncommon to the layperson.

Of course, this is still in the context of U.S. law and the English/Latin language.
It seems to happen more often for big JS projects like React and Vue. Julia projects do not seem to suffer from that.

That they would forbid their holy language server implementation from integrating with other editors exposes the perfidy at the heart of their LSP advocacy.

If they want to keep the extension proprietary and charge for the language server, that’s fine! But allow people to use it with whichever editor instead of forbidding it through the license.
It’s wholly malicious to use a language server implementation to extend control to the editor landscape. This is exactly the kind of nonsense that got them in trouble in the 90s, in the first place.

Seems like Microsoft is back to pissing in the public pool.

interesting - both electrolux ovens i have had in the last 10y do have self cleaning. that just - heat as much as possible mode.
My suggestions, not for this book in particular but technical textbooks in general:

- Get very familiar with the table of contents first. Then note and filter out the sections you are less interested in or don't appear to provide the biggest bang for your buck.

- Annotate, annotate, annotate. Active reading is better than passive reading. I use a 2-in-1 chromebook and a passive pen to highlight in the adobe pdf reader.

- Write detailed notes in addition to annotating (i.e. in a separate notebook or markdown file). Cull/convert your notes into Anki/Memrise digital flashcards. Drill on your phone when you are lying in bed.
Such a good book. I learned so much about life from the multi-armed bandit problem.
I patently disagree. Why would anyone with the requisite skills create something this complex knowing they'd never be compensated?

Even if they attempted to leverage an open source "enterprise" licensing scheme big corps would likely just use an existing industry proven codec.

Pavel Klavík is currently programming our own new collaborative rich text editor for OrgPad.com. This will be tightly integrated with Re-frame/ Reagent/ React and be quite specific to OrgPad (so there isn't much reason to open source it or anything like that). I think, it might be one of the few editors written in ClojureScript though.
The issues are multiple. E.g. flickering, when the browser tries to do spell check. The API for spell check is not very useful from what I understood between the swear words by Pavel :-D e.g. it just isn't possible to give it words and receive suggestions back and handle the rest in the application. More and more of the web infrastructure begins to show its root in the static web of the 90s and is hardly helpful for a modern application, where flickering just isn't an option. It seems, we will have our own spell check in the future or whatever to prevent the flickering. There is more stuff like this in the broader web technology stack.

The prototype is I think about 3000 lines of ClojureScript code. It does quite a bit already but there is more to be done. When it is somewhat done, Pavel will probably record a talk about it and put it on our YouTube channel.
We've banned this account. Single-purpose accounts are not allowed on HN, and creating one just to stir up the community against a rival project or (worse) some person is a bad sign. Regardless of who's right in this, there's clearly a pre-existing agenda and probably an internecine conflict being imported to the community here, and that sort of campaign isn't in the spirit of this site.

What would be in the spirit of this site is open, thoughtful critique that explained what the problems or criticisms are so that readers could make up their minds for themselves. "Be warned about this man" is a long way down from that. Please don't do that here, and especially please don't create accounts to do it with.

I'm not really talking about HDR, as that a bit well, subjective.

I'm talking about using an image that that was captured by a device that can have 12-18stops of dynamic range. Something better than film, something better than 70's film rendered in magazine print and scanned in later.

or more succinctly, something that would capture the whole range of a colourspace.

I think the point is that the burner number only gives you a weak pseudonymity. Your contacts and your communication profile (how often are you talking with whom) is still visible and it seems not unlikely that it can be matched to the one in Facebook purely by that.
It's not "embrace" because they made VSCode in the first place?

I don't want to say MS is good, proprietary software is good, etc. But we're approaching the 4th decade of Free Software, and people should know better than tangling their free software with megacorp offering. I shed no tears.
Because it's Microsoft so people here are always looking for problems. I never seen anyone mentioning that XCode isn't open source. Or Sublime Text for that matter.
This is Microsoft limiting the extension they created to their IDE.

It’s like complaining that Google won’t open source, or support, the Google Cast feature in Firefox or Edge.

It’s worse because a non MS entity can always put in the effort to create a Python language server and have that used across IDEs that support the LSP, but the Google Cast protocol is proprietary itself and one cannot even create their own implementation without severe reverse engineering.
Well, that’s exactly what I was confused about before myself! I was using some other Python language server, but it seemed a bit slow so I asked around for suggestions and got this recommended to me. Of course I assumed that I would be able to use Microsoft’s implementation in my preferred editor, Sublime Text, since that was the whole point behind LSP…but it turns out that no, you can’t. You can download it from the Marketplace, but it bans you from doing exactly that. And there’s no source provided, so there isn’t another way to get it. So you’re pretty stuck…

I think this is a good thing generally, Vue has consistently been one of the best engineered and most effectively designed pieces of software in the Javascript world, largely due to uncompromising enforcement of the design opinions and aesthetics it asserts.

As long as the maintainers are responsive to bug fixes and key feature requirements (since they aren’t accepting of outside contributors adding them), then this is fine, possibly even optimal in terms of quality.

The trouble comes in if they both don’t allow many outside contributions and at the same time they pull the same unjustified complaint of a lot of OSS and say because they aren’t paid for their time, they will prioritize what interests them rather than what resolves painpoints or missing features users need. You definitely can’t have it both ways.

By the way, this is precisely how Putinist propaganda is presenting things in Russia today. "We have no democracy, elections are a fake and people are jailed for dissent? Right, but this is the case everywhere, trying to do otherwise would have destroyed any nation very quickly because populist demagogues would win and steal everything. It's just people in the West are too brainwashed to see how are they being used"
The percentage of obgyns that are black is not a factor for Simpson's paradox. The only thing that matters is if the black patient population for black doctors is different from that of white doctors (like if the black patient population for black doctors has a smaller percentage of diabetics).
I have pretty much respect for Microsoft for open sourcing a lot of things and changing their culture for the better.

Don't have anything against them having closed sourced applications, frameworks or languages.

You cannot ask for everything all the time.
It doesn't seem like all that much of a lock-in? If people get annoyed enough they could fork the open source parts and rewrite the extensions that aren't open source.

Furthermore, there are programmers using other languages where the extensions are already open source, so it would be viable for some users from the start.

I'm also reminded of how some companies built their business on open source servers only for Amazon to create a competing service with their code. This makes me more sympathetic to the partial open source business model.
What other moniker would you give to people that create videos for others to consume regardless of financial incentive?

Many of the YouTube channels I consume didnt start for any other reason than making things for others. They found popularity and decided to make a go at doing it professionally. Making quality content cost money and time. Expecting everybody to make videos on their own dime for posterity is unrealistic.

Visa and Mastercard combined represent 83% of the number of credit cards in circulation, and 100% of the number of debit cards in circulation.
