A really simple good-enough approach is to go to Google scholar, type in the title, and count how many citations it gets. Adjust for years since publication. Many citations: probably important. Few citations: less important. No citations, more than a year old: probably not much good.

It isn't perfect. Different disciplines tend to cite at different rates; and you may believe that some disciplines are just cabals of bullshitters citing each other. I couldn't possibly comment.

Why Covering Indexes in Postgres Are Incredibly Helpful
I am not understanding your concern. You definitely don’t want the keys to be “cloneable”. You need at least two keys, sure, but I don’t see that as an inconvenience. And you should be using a password manager (with passwords cycled on a periodic basis) that is bound to your physical key.
> Not only are the filters not shown by default in google image search vs bing in mobile firefox google opted to disable that functionality meaning you had to load the slower desktop version of google for the tools to filter by date or other details to show up. This wasn't a bug it was a deliberate design decision to attack a competitor that they ultimately reversed later.

And reverse image search still doesn't work unless you spoof your user agent as mobile Chrome.
In my view amazon is being fairly honest in comparison to other scumbags: yes they mistreat their workforce and cheat on reviews, but it's all part of the game, they didnt create the game.
It absolutely makes sense to simply ignore articles based on the credibility of the journal, it's an effective and cheap first filter (and you absolutely need filters) - there are many predatory journals (like this one) which will publish anything that's paid for, they probably even outnumber "real" journals, and it makes all sense to automatically discard them without reading.

There is a lot of noise already in "proper" journals - but in the predatory journals, the signal-to-noise ratio is so extremely low, it's not worth looking into the credibility of the methodology of the paper because that's far more time and effort that the paper deserves. If it was any good, it would have been published in a better venue. If it could pass peer review, it would have been published in a venue that actually does peer review as opposed to these (many) predatory journals who just claim to do so. The authors have strong practical incentives to not publish it there if they can avoid to, and the fact that they chose to do so anyway indicates that no respectable place would publish it.

Because of that, if a paper is published in a place like this, is a completely reasonable prior to presume that overwhelmingly likely the paper is very bad, without even looking at the paper itself.
Eh, even corporate GSuite changes from time-to-time. Google products and services are less stable than AWS. I’m not talking about uptime, necessarily, but for all of AWS half-baked ills you know that half-baked service is going to be around forever.

I don’t think it’s a tired argument: Google is much more likely to cut bait than Amazon.

Tech solutions to deplatforming will involve changes to how reward mechanisms work (ie Likes/Views/Clicks/Followers etc). No one needs to get banned but they can be thrown in the drunk tank (so no rewards ie Likes/Views/Clicks/Followers etc) for some period depending on offense type, seriousness, what have you.

Currently getting agreement on Reward mechanisms when no one trusts anyone is complicated. But it will happen eventually after more and more shit hits the fan.

Exempts App-Based Transportation and Delivery Companies from Providing Employee Benefits to Certain Drivers. Initiative Statute.

* Classifies drivers for app-based transportation (rideshare) and delivery companies as “independent contractors,” not “employees,” unless company: sets drivers’ hours, requires acceptance of specific ride and delivery requests, or restricts working for other companies.

* Independent contractors are not covered by various state employment laws—including minimum wage, overtime, unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation.

* Instead, independent-contractor drivers would be entitled to other compensation—including minimum earnings, healthcare subsidies, and vehicle insurance.

* Restricts certain local regulation of app-based drivers.

* Criminalizes impersonation of drivers.

While that's true, the type of text manipulation and navigation one can achieve in normal and command mode far exceeds what one can do with the standard keyboard shortcuts for text manipulation, navigation, and selection in most GUI applications using, with or without holding the shift key, the arrow, del, home, end, pgdn, and pgup keys, or the ctrl-{a,c,f,x,v,y,home,end} key combinations.
It is curious that this sort of restriction is possible. I don't think I could pay most of my monthly bills without the internet, for example. I assume there's also many jobs that require home internet.
Importantly, HDMI will be around for projectors. Almost every meeting room and every class room everywhere in the world has a beamer and an HDMI cable on the desk. I don't think this is going to change in the next 5 years. It took more than 10 years for most of the world to upgrade from VGA to HDMI cables, and HDMI works fine technically, so there's less pressure to upgrade to USB-C.

So for the foreseeable future, if you ever do a presentation, and you have a Mac, you are going to bring a dongle.

If you're a teacher and you don't want to deal with an unreliable dongle 5 times a day, the most convenient Mac for you is currently the 2015 Macbook Pro with its built-in HDMI port.

I don’t see how the popularity of something necessarily corresponds to its utility. How is it counter-productive to speak to the reality of the bill, popularity at passage is entirely orthogonal to “Has it been beneficial”.

People like having cheap Ubers and didn’t prioritize about the ramifications otherwise, that’s my personal take from conversations I had around the election.
I mean, maybe? There could certainly exist a phone-verified Matrix server, obviously, but unless the default server that is used for Matrix does that, it's still going to be a bit of friction entering in the server information.
> Current Apple products means using a lots of dongles for what should be built in.

Who decides what should be built in? Some people might need SD card reader, others will need HDMI out, lan port is requested by others, I on the other hand don’t use any of that and would rather have my laptop to be lighter and thinner.
I feel like this is the popular sentiment these days but I don't fully agree.

I've seen so many companies spend themselves to death and its easy to have it happen much faster than anybody in charge realizes.

I've also seen companies grow expenses as things go well and suddenly there's a massive downturn in the market and they can't recover in time. Meanwhile, more frugal companies have the runway to weather unexpected events.

So I still think there's more value in frugality than is generally accepted.
Nothing's wrong with using CLI. You might not need it, but sometimes it's nice to have something with more. Most people on this planet think that managing files from terminal is pure insanity, and I do just that, I didn't even bothered to install a graphical file manager. And yet I use a git client/front-end in my text editor, because it's nicer to do some things that way. The most useful feature is probably interactively staging hunks just like you'd edit a text file over what standard git does.

It's very interesting. I used Emacs for a long time, but slowly got weaned off it.

- I used it for email, then I had to collaborate with people who wrote "please see my comments in orange below". (Of course, they were Outlook users.) Emacs did not show that orange color, so I didn't know... Maybe these days it's possible to read Outlook emails nicely in Emacs.

- I used it for development, then the Java software I worked on got too big to internalize all APIs and Eclipse completion and refactoring really helped. I did try to build the Eclipse "quickfix" thing in Emacs, but all I got done was to add a missing import (because JDEE, I think it was, provided that functionality).

- I switched from Linux to Windows because the world around me was like that, and so I could help junior colleagues with their EOL problems...

- I used Mercurial (hg) for a while and TortoiseHg was really nice, so I didn't feel the need to use Emacs for this.

It's a pity, really. Some aspect here, some aspect there, and then you get pulled away from Emacs.

Now, with LSP, perhaps Emacs could offer code completion and refactoring, but the Java app I work on builds with gradle, and I have no clue how to tell the Java/LSP thing about the class path... So I'm on IntelliJ...

compete with who? If you simply want to save thousands of dollars every month, start with a single 1/4 cabinet at a colo and build up from there as one's needs grow. There is no need for the extreme expense view you state. One $8K server placed in a colo pays for itself in two weeks!

I am only discussing people that require computation for what they do. If you're just "showing a web page" get out of this discussion. I'm talking about people that require computation above some bloated react framework displaying pretty interfaces for consumer time wasting.

Impact factor works if you just to minimize the number of "bad" publications you look at. But if you rely on it too much, you are going to exclude lots of good publications too. Specialist journals tend to have lower impact factors, for one. Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation is a good journal, but its impact factor has never been especially high.

Really, things are stressful for many now, but they can be OK if we do what is right. A few specifics:

I deeply believe, with some reasons, that the US Constitutional principles and some other good things will continue to be in place in the long run, in spite of difficulties.

Among the very most important things we can do are to be good to our families, and continuing to practice at honesty and treating others the way they would want to be treated. Those things seem essential for maintaining anything, long-term. (cf. the "Anna Karenina principle" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_karenina_principle ), for families or cultures that last across many generations.)
(Tolstoy said something like "All happy families are alike, and all miserable families are miserable in their own way". I think there is much to that: multigenerational unselfish service to others, in a widening circle, brings greater sustainability and peace. Seeing what families' and/or cultures' traits allow them to persist over time is interesting.)

Jesus Christ said "love your enemies", & more ( https://churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/nt/matt/5.3... [churchofjesuschrist.org] ). (And: "By their fruits ye shall know them": Matt 7:11-21; and see D&C52: https://churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testamen... [churchofjesuschrist.org] .) This means treating others with respect, for starters, and the way you would want (or they would want) to be treated.

Please, along with seeking wisdom & kindness, let's try to get info and news from reliable, trustworthy sources. (Many; refs avail.) Honesty, principles in the US Constitution and rule of law seem much more important than other policies, even ones we care about deeply (per some of my Church's scriptures, such as D&C98). Let's pray for our country/ies! (Trust, in anyone, is earned, not a right -- by behavior over time, not just promises & piles of words.)

And really, we all can learn, help & encourage each other, grow & be better if we keep trying.

And yes, things can be OK.
Most courses on Russian literature include at least some addressing of the whole Russian surnames thing. The misspelling may signal the writer has not read much on the subject. Russian literature is influential enough in world literature that the mistake is a big tell, feel free to consult any lit department.

One of the common actions taken when analyzing a work of literature is writing out and mapping the main characters. Anyone that has done that has wondered about the "Russian females often get an a at the surname end" thing. It's standard to address it in Russian lit studies, because it confuses non-native speakers.
I'm not talking about the security or reliability aspects of it - you are right about those (though Internet isn't much better, see BGP). But when it works as intended, the telephone "world" offers something that the Internet world often no longer offers: end-to-end connectivity.

Even the cheapest phone plan will come with a phone number that's reachable from anywhere and can reach anywhere (provided you pay the call fee). Most consumer-grade internet plans come with a single, dynamic IPv4 and no IPv6 (or the IPv6 prefix is also dynamic). No end-to-end connectivity is possible unless you engage in some NAT traversal workarounds that require an external server.

Ask HN: How to undelete APFS files and recover APFS volumes?
WARNING: DriveGenius/DrivePulse may be malware, it's a pain to remove it and prevent it from instantly relaunching itself, and I'm still not sure it's gone completely.

——

I just bought a new external disk and tried to transfer everything from an older disk to the new one:

• I MOVE'd folders instead of COPYing them to easily keep track of what was already copied (and to avoid Finder annoyances when trying to merge folders instead of overwriting)

• In a moment of stress, instead of deleting the volumes on the older disk (to free space on it for something else) I accidentally deleted the freshly-copied volume on the new disk! :(

So the situation is:

• APFS volume on NewDisk accidentally deleted via Disk Utility.

• APFS folders on OldDisk implicitly deleted via a Move operation in Finder (bypassing the Trash)

• Both disks are from LaCie, use a USB-C connection on both ends, formatted as APFS, and they are not SSDs.

• Neither disks have Time Machine protection.

• I have done [almost?] no write operations since the deletion as far as I am aware.

I want to recover either the NewDisk volume or the original OldDisk files.

Trying to find APFS recovery solutions seems to be a search term that many unscrupulous companies like to prey upon. So far, "Stellar Data Recovery" seems the most promising but I'm not sure if I should spend the $80 on it unless there's nothing better.

Does anybody have some experience that could help? Thanks in advance!

But you're only describing poorly executed / counterproductive frugality.

Spending $500 of time to save 10 bucks isn't frugality, it's idiocy.

Spending time reducing unit cost as opposed to customer acquisition or building features might be a different discussion, especially if the next marginal customer acquisition starts bumping up against your cost of services/product.

It's not the LD50 for Cobalt Blue, but the LD50 for soluble Cobalt salts is between 150 and 500 mg/kg and Cobalt toxicity seems to be a thing. But the LD50(rat) for cobalt blue is > 10000 mg/kg according to the MSDS I'm looking at. That doesn't sound toxic.

Wiki says this about cobalt: "it causes respiratory problems when inhaled. It also causes skin problems when touched; after nickel and chromium, cobalt is a major cause of contact dermatitis"

So for people looking for an example of something that's somewhat toxic, but much less toxic as a paint. Here you go, Cobalt Blue. The color this new can be substituted for. yeah the toxicities are different, but it's the same idea.

> that criminals are under-evolved, subhuman beasts

This has everything to do with common attitudes. Ask any person about what kind of person does the kind of crime or moral aberration they are most passionate about and you'll get a similar response. People can't imagine that criminals might have had some understandable train of thought prior to committing a crime; or worse that they may have done exactly the same thing in their shoes.

> These algorithms reportedly make false accusations against students with disabilities who move their faces and hands in atypical ways, and Black students have indicated that they have been required to shine bright lights in their faces so as to have their features detected at all.

Warning: I will be using the term police quite broadly here, but it's anyone involved in any kind of policing or detective activity.

Any algorithm used in policing that produces false negatives needs to be retired until it can be proven they can be used provably equally on people, which I suspect is never. The problem is that most people believe that policing should be more efficient. More efficient police work means violating your privacy, breaking algorithms, and using lazy surveillance and data collection. If you want your freedoms intact then good old fashioned police and detective work needs to be just that; the police need to be smarter, not have smarter tools.

> Yet equating convictions with criminality seems to register with the authors mainly as an empirical flaw, in that using pictures of convicted criminals, but not of the ones who were cleared, introduces a statistical bias that skews the results. They said they were “deeply baffled” at the public outrage in reaction to a study that was intended “for pure academic discussions,” which also suggests an unawareness that their work’s flaws go beyond sloppy statistics.

Absolutely a fair criticism. I'm surprised anyone was baffled that the criminal justice system is highly flawed, other than some mathematicians who lead quite prestigious lives. I've long thought it's pretty suspect that there's a morality bar forming (or that has formed) in programming. A force beyond laws can make you unhireable, what a precedent! Really, I find the idea that we might deny entry to programming even for convicted felons that have served their time problematic. Their insights might be quite useful here.
