Excited for this release and I will start integrating this in my own information extraction pipelines immediately. Thanks, Explosion team, got your stickers on my notebook!

The new configuration approach looks familiar to AllenNLP and that's great. Loose-coupling of model submodules with flexible config should be standard in NLP. I am happy that more libraries are integrating these concepts.
Finally, the beginning of the end to the Drug War.

If Biden has a brain and guts he will accelerate this trend. With Kamala Harris as VP, a woman who made her career locking up minor drug offenders, it will be an uphill battle. I guess being a black woman counts for more than having a horrible track record these days.

Weblorg: A Static HTML Generator for Emacs and Org-Mode
I'm excited to share a project that I've been working on. It is a tool that aims to be a friendly and powerful static HTML site generator backed by Org-Mode files. It should be very familiar for those who have used tools like hugo or jekyll. It's far away from being as comprehensive and stable as such tools, though I do aim to get there :)

Weblorg is a declarative API that defines routes similar to how lean HTTP application frameworks are structured. With a file at the root of the website conventionally called publish.el. It contains the routes with information to find Org-Mode files and templates to render them. It's backed by a powerful templating language and we're working on a more thorough and thorough documentation. You can check out some examples and learn more about it on our website:

TalkJS (https://talkjs.com) | REMOTE (Europe/Africa timezones) or Eindhoven (the Netherlands)

TalkJS lets developers build a perfect chat feature in just a few hours. We power communication in online marketplaces, community sites, trading platforms and so on. We're product driven and we care tremendously about quality: We're out to build the tool that every developer worldwide will use to build chat/communication features.

Currently in the market for:

* iOS Developer
* Android Developer
* Senior Fullstack Developer
* Senior Backend Developer
* Customer Success Engineer / Solutions Architect¹

Our stack is mainly React, TypeScript, Elixir and PostgreSQL. Nearly the entire company is product people, founders are a designer and a programmer.

TalkJS touches millions of people and is growing quickly. We want to be the tool that every developer thinks of for building communication features, a bit like what Stripe has become for payments. Our secret masterplan to make this happen is giving great engineers the maximum amount of freedom to ship fantastic SDKs, APIs and features. This means a healthy work/life balance and a lot of responsibility: We expect a lot from each other and give a lot of freedom in return. Sound good?

Some non standard CSS selectors
>if there is a population of users who simply hate ads to the extent that any impression will be net negative value to the advertiser

This segment of the population absolutely exists and I would guess that it is growing. Many people in my circle block ads on every device possible. Seeing any ad is an immediate negative impression for my group of friends.

This is entirely anecdotal, but I've seen this same sentiment in many other circles and am hearing it more and more often.
Say what you will about your opinion of what the results of this will be, it does create an experiment for us to learn with. I think one of the great tragedies of politics is that we do not experiment enough, so when ones like this pop up naturally, it'll give us great data.
How many letters are we going to get behind KeePass? I use KeePassX and have for years. Having 14 forks seems... odd to me.

Tech stack is pgSQL, Scala, Node, React, Python
If they have the capital why aren't the opening up trading on GME fully? I'm not saying the capital requirements aren't real, I'm saying that's not the complete and honest explanation for why they're restricting trading on GME. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together can see their conflict of interest here.
Careful here: while this may be true of some NoSQL stores that I've not used, this is a tarpit for the wide column datastores I'm familiar with (Dynamo, Cassandra, and others).

It's very easy to get going quickly and find out that you've tripped over antipatterns, and now your database is "a database, a Ruby app, and 30ms of latency on every call". It's easy to think "I'll model this later" and end up hitting the database five times in a row to answer a question.

With these systems, up front modeling of your data model and access patterns is essential if the trade off you are trying to make (far less functionality for smooth performance at ridiculous scale) will ever make sense.
Did you forget that Germany was split east and west and east was totally owned by the Russians? Of course they bought from them.
How the Atari 400 and 800 took on Apple in the 1980s home PC wars
"Forty years ago, Atari released its first personal computers: the Atari 400 and 800. They arrived in the fall of 1979 after a prerelease marketing campaign that had begun the previous January when the company unveiled the machines at what was then called the Winter Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Then as now, “Atari” was synonymous with 'video game,' and the new machines packed more technological potential than any game console at the time, with custom graphics and sound chips, support for four joysticks or eight paddles, and the ability to play games on cartridge, cassette, or disk. At launch, one of the machines’ first games, Star Raiders, defined cutting-edge home entertainment."

Attribution on iOS 14: Welcoming Apple’s New World Order
Western Germany purchased gas and oil from the USSR. It's actually a very good argument, because it points out something that most people aren't aware of.

Generally speaking, Germany's foreign policy is deeply tied to its energy policy. It's one of the reasons for its interest in renewables.

I will also note that, say, Thatcher's UK purchased coal from Warsaw Pact Poland in order to crush strikes by domestic coal miners.
> if you own a small business, there's a real chance that you'd rely on Facebook for a significant portion of your business

Source?

Even if this is true for some types of small business, in some markets, it's a bit of a stretch to claim this applies across the board.
It’s the greens’ fault. We should have invested in nuclear. We wouldn’t depend on Russian gas if we had nuclear.
Hashmasks is a living digital art collectible
You can disable this feature, it's specifically a thing that you enabled at some point. The reason you're getting prompted is because you indicated that you want it. IIRC it's something to do with the wifi calling settings on your phone, not your ipad.

It IS annoying that their nag box doesn't have a "go to settings" option, at least.
That, and like many cancers, just a larger number of people living long enough to fall victim to it. Women developing what are usually postmenopausal issues more or less requires living to and through menopause. (Yes, old people got to be nearly as old as they do now, but getting to be old was much less of a sure thing.)
I'm curious what metrics we should track to determine if this is good or not.

What's wrong with ads? Facebook costs money and effort to produce for its users to enjoy.

I don't use FB, but people who do use presumably enjoy it.
And that's a third point that isn't necessarily in agreement to the others, but doesn't refute them either. It's hard to say what it would look like for that age group (<45), or any other, without the current restrictions.

Just to point it out in the age sub groups under 45 in the previously linked article, to become the leading cause of death in each one would require a 2x-15x increase in covid deaths. I'm not sure what that means for this conversation since my main point is that none of the numbers or arguments being thrown around in this comment chain directly relate to each other - there seem to be 2 or 3 separate arguments that are only tangentially related.
fracking is just a nasty process and destroys water reservoirs. Really isn't worth it just to make the rich richer. But they don't live there and they like nestle, so they want people to buy bottled water.
Mat here (Seb's Cofounder). Great question. We are not only building a piece of infrastructure but a complete product with its own UI and features, rather than a standalone API. Our customer is the end-user more than the person wanting to build on top of it. GitLab and others have shown that when you do that the probability of being forked or just resold goes down drastically.
- From SouthEast europe, but Germany is also in bed with Turkey so they don't want to touch that side of EU either.

It is painfully apparent how strategically inadequate Germany is in leading anything except its exports.
Having it built into the car still seems to be an improvement to me. I'm still yet to see any of these systems actually function at all. My '16 Subaru and Samsung phone both officially support it. But if I try to turn it on, you can take a guess from one of [incomprehensible error message | car does nothing, and phone locks up until hard reboot | car shows a blank panel on the screen until you press the home button]

I don't know how unusual my case is, but it seems like there's a greater chance that it would work if there were fewer "moving parts" that had to interface.
Pretty exciting company that's growing fast and adding cool new features daily. Just within the past month, we've had engineers bouncing around between our Rails app, iPhone app, scripting in Lua, and crafting a first-class sprint workflow in Linear (and that's just the start of it). You'll make an impact here! This is a great opportunity to work on a constructive and open-minded product team where everyone's opinion counts!
You absolutely have that choice.

I have Location History turned off in my Google Account and this feature still works. It might work better if I let it use history, not sure - but it absolutely works without it. I do have Search History turned on, so I could hypothesize that it's able to use things I've searched for in the past at certain times, but it's not using my location.
I've played with F#, OCaml, Haskell, Scala and Clojure. F# was by far the 'sweet spot' for me in terms of being able to translate my thoughts into a working functionally structured program. I hope many more are exposed to F# and that the good first experience is the norm (not currently from my experience).
A "Best Practice" is "best" given a context. This means by definition "Best Practices" will tend towards "Average Practices" as the number of contexts they are used in grows to infinity.

This is what people have to realize, when you put in place "Best Practices" you're doing something that is "average".

To do something "better" than that, you need to specialize your practice for your given context. Unless you happen to have the exact same context from which the "best practice" originates from, chances are it is not optimized to your context. And even if you have the same context, time has probably gone by and more "practices" might have developed since that are even better to that context.

Like the article says, you can only optimize to your context if you understand the pros/cons of each practice, so you can customize to your needs.

I have definitely seen situations where developers push for "best practices" when the current practices are already specialized to the context, but because they are not the "best practices" from some internet blog, or famous book, the developers think the practices must not be the "best", in reality they are pushing for worse practices as they are pushing to de-optimize the practices from one context to some other context, bringing the team back to the "average". They lack the understanding and rationale to asses what is "better" or "worse" for their context, and that's why this happens, as they cannot reason about comparing their current practices against the "best practice" ones, thus simply believing in the social trends and norms over whatever the team had worked to specialize into.

Now many times, a team will have below average practices in place, and that's when putting in place some "best practices" will help, as it drives the team processes up towards the "average" or better (given how similar or not the team's context is to the best practice).

"It's just business" is also how the USA got interested in protecting Germany's energy independence against German political decisions right when the USA started to have an abundance of fracking gas.

The pipe is still a huge problem as it allows Putin to rule over a rich Russia, but the way the last USA hamfistedly tried to strong-arm German politics didn't do any good to US/German relations.
I feel there can be a fair reason behind this, which is basically that using a tool no one else uses, even if it’s great for the use case, is likely to be a losing battle.

Hard to get using it approved at work, less usage means fewer bugs are caught and features developed, etc.

So people evangelize their favorite tools because it benefits them directly to have them adopted more widely.
I thought it was funny, but I did not find it as funny as everyone else, so I'll just own that I am the weird one. From reading this history, though, it seems like the only people who enjoyed making it were really the writers.
Actually West Germany purchased gas from USSR from 1973 onwards:

I really hope this leads to more research on the effect of psychedelics on treatment-resistant depression. People with depression suffer unimaginable anguish every day - we owe it to them to give them the best treatment options possible.
> But I would also say that the outcome of the mitten craze has been, overall, positive.

Not so much for the woman who made them:

Ellis, 42, said she was inundated with requests to purchase her mittens after the image of Sanders went viral, but added that the federal government's high tax rates on independent crafters had discouraged her from selling them as a business.

"I don't have much of a mitten business anymore because it really wasn't worth it," Ellis said. "Independent crafters get really taken for a ride by the federal government. We get taxed to the nth degree, and it wasn't really worth it pursuing that as a business, even as a side hustle. I mostly just make them as gifts."
Gazprom is 50% owned by the Russian state. Overall, gas and oil account for roughly 50% of Russia budget.
Experimenting with people's lives is not a responsible way to experiment.

No one is denying these drugs are harmful, yet Oregon is basically saying "go ahead, it's fine, use these drugs".

Seeing what is happening with the Marijuana lobbies coming in and putting in billions in lobbying should scare everybody. We have big tobacco to look at for where this leads.

The next obvious step is to legalize all drugs, and let these lobbies profit off the back of addicts and their families and their ruined lives.

Unless we as a society take a stand on some of these issues, we will be in deep trouble in a few years.
The case for applying psychology in cybersecurity training
This puts into words why I get momentarily annoyed whenever I see a programming help type question like "what are best practices to call a function pointer" or some such. The question implicitly suggests that there's no definite answer when in fact it's simply a question of fact, a knowledge question not a wisdom question. I feel that the person asking the question is somehow trying to shield themself from the "shame" of not knowing the answer by framing it as a request for discussion.
