I doubt it has changed all that much, but an accessibility software need not be on the same privilege level than an ordinary one, so it is entirely possible to propose an accessibility extension to query basically everything and explicitly enable these methods for a specific program.
Unfortunately accessibility softwares are not all that good on linux as far as I know.

Fair points and I take this feedback to heart.

> U.S. government data resulted in 450,000 overdose deaths from 1999 to 2018

They're paying just over $1,000 per life. According to the U.S. government a human life is worth $10,000,000. Seems totally fair.

He "invented" email almost a decade after email was in use based on the fact that he wrote a program called "email" as a high school student.

The single most relevant sentence from the entire article

> Michelle Tassinari, whom he claims was part of the plot to keep him from his rightful seat in the Senate by destroying one million electronic ballots - a claim she and Galvin deny because there were never any electronic ballots since all the state's ballots are on paper.

A better title for the article and this thread would have been.

Eccentric who lied about inventing email now lies about election and draws ban from twitter.
When you eat foods with cholesterol, it has little effect on your cholesterol levels because your cells make it by themselves, and the body will only absorb cholesterol if your levels are low. If you have good cholesterol levels, you can eat many eggs and your cholesterol wont go up. High cholesterol is caused from eating too many sugars and starches which causes an insulin spike that tells the cells to make more cholesterol even when they don't need it.
Are you funded?
Goddamnit. I had it right and outsmarted myself.
From the article, one other use case are drones, in which case even minor weight savings can be extremely valuable.
Do you have a source for this claim or is this just speculation?
You could extend this concept to a lot of things, including software projects: a large/debt-induced codebase requires more and more developers in order to keep improving it, but the more devs you have the lower returns you get on each one, until at some point you're hiring people to prop up the tech debt from the last batch of people you hired, ad infinitum.

Fortunately a "revolution" in this context just means a rewrite.
I'm not sure that quote is relevant to ET, though, since I'd wager most who have ET do not take medication for it. Well, that's anecdotal; I don't take anything for it.
Most definitely and everyone knew Tesla was going to suffer from the manufacturing side of things. They went at it with the wrong attitude while it's by far the hardest part of being a car company pushing large volume.

Where I was wrong is that I thought the market would punish them heavily for that as customers for a car in this price range would care. I totally missed that the segment of rich people with enough disposable income to buy an average electric car as a statement was big enough to be viable. So, well played Tesla I guess.
I wish I had a super interesting story, but here is the truth: we're building a product that covers many types of insurance, so we came up with "different tints of insurance". Like in the definition "any of various lighter or darker shades of a color".

It also depends if everyone else pointed out 2 things and you pointed out 10. Letting other people go first means you only have to point out 5, which is still lopsided but not 'holy shit, man' lopsided.

Why would you need to do that unless you were writing over individual 128 bit ints from one thread while reading them at the same time from another thread?

There are many better ways to do something like that. Anything that writes a buffer, then makes it available atomically would work much better, or you could just use the compare and swap.

There is always going to be a limit of what is atomic. At some point you have to work with a data structure meant for larger data. The cut off has to be somewhere.

It was, even Firefox users were using it. That's probably why Mozilla had to remove that functionality. /s
Google had to blink sooner or later. It would be a loss for them if they were blocked from the Aussie market and other alternatives like Bing, DDG became popular.

That could lead to a dominoes scenario where other countries realised they could get by too without the mighty Google.

Those of us that need Google for searching for weird code snippets and the like (though Google seems increasingly failing in the battle against SEO spam) could just use a US VPN. Most people would get by fine on DDG.
> In an environment that places stress on those who underperform, anything that calls attention to performance problems will be hated. Anyone that points out those problems will be disliked. Even the best people will fall to this stress.

Seems to me that this might be the problem rather than the code review itself!

> We could decide together if it was worth the effort to make those changes. Async communications like PRs and emails simply aren't fit for that kind of discussion.

Indeed. I've definitely found myself falling into a pattern of failing the review for serious issues with comments on the PR, but just approving the review and slacking the comments for small issues.
You'll be hearing about them more soon. Nikola is a SPAC, for instance.
It constructs an analytical gradient from the code. The reason is that you can compute the gradient directly. This can enable optimizations such as avoiding caching big matrices because you don't need to keep track of states/trace the graph, or you can compute the 2nd, 3rd, 4th... and so on derivatives because you have an analytical gradient.

For example in an affine function, the gradient of the bias/intercept is the gradient of the loss wrt the activation function and for the weights, it's the product of loss wrt activation function and the input to the layer.

With automatic graph construction e.g. eager Tensorflow/Pytorch, the layer needs to cache the input of the layer, so that it can compute the gradient of the weights. If the layer receives inputs multiple times within the computation graph, you end up caching it multiple times.

With analytical gradients, you may be able to save memory by finding optimizations because you have the analytical gradient, e.g. above you can sum the inputs ie (dL/dz)input1 + (dL/dz)input2 = (dL/dz)(input1+input2).
I don’t think this is going to go anywhere, probably just handing out lawsuits. I do believe they may be able to win their case against Giuliani. Read a long article going into depth about it and seems like a strong case that he was very negligent. I mean there are court records of him saying they have no evidence for his claims yet he continued to spew them in public.
I can't for the life of me find it again, but there was a youtube talk an hn user posted in a thread about array based languages a few weeks ago that basically showed a non-turing complete but still powerful array processing language based on Iverson and APL. I think it was developed specifically with streaming in mind. It was a really cool DSL that showed how much you can do without iterating over arrays.

It really kills me that I didn't save that talk. If I find it, I'll try to remember to update this comment with a link. It was kind of slick though.

The software part is available anywhere, and we have clients in the US, Canada, Europe and Australia.

We are only licensed as insurance brokers in the US, so we would have to work with partners in Canada and other countries to secure the insurance policy.
For something about HCI why is the font so ridiculously oversized? Very hard to read.
It's an irony how American companies try circumvents another country's law (regardless of whether you call it censorship or not, it is still a law) and boast about it.

Yet, in the US these companies help the mainstream narrative to enforce censorship by banning (Google and Apple App market) or simply not offering other point of views basic hosting services (AWS).

I am an Iranian and don't agree with all of our government actions but I can clearly see a tech neo-colonialism/neo-imperialism here. I am sure Signal's intention and people wanting to help is genuinely good but this does not change this double-standard.

I would like to see your supportive reaction if an Iranian company offers hosting to Parler. I imagine you would call it foreign intervention!
> It is very slow to digest, does not cause an insulin spike

Where do these statements come from? What counts as "slow" or "fast" digestion? Oats, being rich in carbohydrates, definitely affect insulin. As one example, this 2019 paper clearly shows that overnight oats elicit glycemic and insulin responses, so it's patently false to claim that oatmeal "does not cause an insulin spike": https://www.nature.com/articles/s41430-018-0329-1#Fig2

> There’s a reason oatmeal is the primary carb used by gym rats.

Gym rats say and do a lot of things without scientific merit. That's why the term "broscience" exists.

> The only time it’s a problem is if you’re eating it out of an instant packet, but that’s really about all the added sugar, not the oatmeal grain.

It's not just the added sugar. Instant oats are more processed than steel-cut or rolled oats, and they do have a higher glycemic index.

From https://www.diabetes.ca/managing-my-diabetes/tools---resourc...:

> In general, the more highly processed a food is, or the quicker a food is digested, the higher the GI. For example, instant oats have a higher GI than steel cut oats.

From https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/glyce...:

Glycemic load (glucose = 100):

Porridge, rolled oats = 55 ± 2

Instant oat porridge 79 ± 3

That would be 13 cups (unit of measure) of cereal a day, probably 4-6 bowls depending on how generous you are when pouring it into a bowl. Or 13 slices of bread (which is most of a loaf). That doesn't seem at all like a reasonably recommended number. Trying to find real charts, it looks like by 1992 they were recommending a range of 6-11 servings of grains (rice, cereals, pasta, breads). Which is at least a more reasonable number if you swing towards the low end.
If you're using Linux there's code by Microsoft being executed on your machine, MS is one of the largest contributors to the Linux kernel. This is a really bizarre thing to object to.

>Now suddenly data flows between my computer and Microsoft.

So what? Data probably flows between your computer and NTP pool servers operated by completely random parties too.
What do you mean by cosine losses? I have done research in fibre optics for more than a decade and never heard that term. Also I have no idea what you mean by light bends around the fibre. A simple explanation of light propagation in multi-mode fibres can use geometric optics to explain how light propagates along the fibre by reflecting of the interface between core and cladding, however this simple picture does not apply to single-mode fibre (which all long distance connections are) and also does not easily explain the group velocities in fibre.

The reason that light travels slower in fibre is because the refractive index of slica is about 1.5 while it is 1 in glass (in reality it's a bit more complicated, it's the group index that counts, which is also approx. 1.5 however).
The higher order bit here is indeed funding: ides are deep and complex, they need a lot of focus.

The internal architecture (or rather culture) of making the thing easy to work with is also an important factor. For example, this very document is a part of intentional “architecture for ease of development”.

The fancier stuff like incremental compilation with salsa are liabilities: Rust is a complex language, so we have to pull complex tricks to make IDE works. This slows development down, so we compensate by focusing even more on build time, isolating complexity, and reducing interdependencies.
Banning Trump Didn't Change How Much People Use Twitter, New Data Shows
Engineering centers are not close to these areas though.
You raise a good point! I spent some time thinking about this. Ultimately, it wasn't clear to me that any plastic I could reasonably work with would be more fire-retarding than the dense wood that I ended up using, and of course a metal enclosure would be a far greater fire hazard due to the increased risk of short circuits.
This is the thing I always think about with these kinds of systems, whether someone else's advice or do-it-yourself algos or "go here to find this information".

If you follow the advice and record the trades you would have made, you can get an idea of if the advice is solid, and you can also get a hang for not panic-selling your first dip due to new-investor jitters. It also means that you won't follow crazy trends (like impulse-dumping everything into GME) because it's so obviously an outlier that it won't give you any useful data anyway.

When I was in high school there was a faux-stock-trading website, they gave you ten thousand dollars in fake money and you could fake-buy stocks with it. A great way to play around with, and learn about, the stock market with zero actual risk or investment required.

I ended up putting everything in Diamond Multimedia at $5 and pulling it out the next day at $6, then dumping the rest into eBay (within a month after their IPO IIRC) and forgetting about the website until one day I logged in and my investment was 10x. I patted myself on the back and never invested anything in anything again.
> There is bacon that is cured without them.

No, there really isn't. What we have is bacon producers using a loophole to use 'natural' nitrates from things like celery for curing. They're the exact same molecule and perform the same function, but because they used processed celery juice instead of pure sodium nitrite, they get to claim they're nitrate free.

They aren't.
>The only logical thing to do is to follow current scientific consensus the best we can.

Until you figure out that most 'scientists' are morons, and are biased/ignorant/academic. An anecdote from an observant, meticulous, objective layman is far more dependable than the gobbledygook that characterizes most published research.

So their government is blocking Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Telegram, Signal, BBC, CNN, Netflix, and probably many other social and media platforms.

Meanwhile we are blocking Iranians to access Docker, Slack, Gitlab, Google Code, Github(Github until recently), Paypal, Apple Store, Play Store, AWS, Coursera, Adobe, Nvidia, AVG, Avast, Symantec, McAfee, Matlab!!, Oracle and many more.

It should be really fun to use Internet in Iran.
I disagree with you... sort of.

I think there's some truth that code has value, and there is some risk that making it available can cut into profits (See: Redis, Mongo, etc, changing course after open offerings became available on AWS/Azure/GCP).

But I think the much larger truth is that most of the value provided by companies (and most of what they charge for) is not "lines of excellent code" but rather the operating expertise of keeping a complicated system stable and available.

For example - All of the companies you listed do have widely available, open source offerings (Android, VS-Code, Mono, Swift, Webkit, etc).

The value wasn't in the code, the value was in the ecosystem around it.

I think this is true in more cases than folks expect. The Windows source code was leaked, but I don't see any companies scrambling to compete with MS by building on that code.

I think even if most of Google's repo was made public - the valuable part was the team that supports the infrastructure behind it, not the lines of code themselves (or at least, they make up a smaller portion of the value)
And if you set the following distance, you could just grab a nap.
> Why does this make you feel indignant?

It doesn't. That was the point.
Internal combustion engines do in fact attempt to burn fuel and oxidizer at maximum stoichiometric efficiency, and they also are trying to burn it as quickly as possible to capture all of the heat rather than exhausting a partially burnt mixture and wasting fuel.

Effective explosives have the exact same chemical goals and nearly the same thermodynamic goals.

If that isn’t a carefully controlled explosion I don’t know what is. I mean, come on, a piston moving up and down thousands of times per minute isn’t explosive enough for ya?
Dutch website is claiming that Renault Zoe R110 Life costs 33 590 [0]. Seems like I've missed 3500 subsidy from Dutch government.

Nobody is able to do true self driving like a taxi in city today. But it will be possible in this decade (I have 95% confidence) and it will be happening in Europe as well. Whoever achieves true, reliable, widely deployed self-driving first will crash competition. Car ownership will effectively disappear in the decade after that i.e. 2030 and later.

Great effort already! I would love to use an open source Pinboard-esque system: as simple and powerful as possible.

That said, as a power user on del.icio.us and then Pinboard:

- I should be able to put every single non-control Unicode character in a tag. Basically, they should be arbitrary UTF-8 bytes. So backslash, less than, smiley, omega, non-breaking space and the like. The only difficulty with this is making sure the markup is properly escaped.

- Personally I'm not a fan of separate flags like "unread", and the only one I've ever used is the "private" flag (which shouldn't be implemented using just tags - just consider someone tagging "privat" and not realizing the bookmark isn't private). First, tags are perfect for this use case, and gives a lot more freedom to implement whatever hacks I want, like "tosee"/"unwatched" for videos, "at:chapter-3" to mark progress, and the like. Second, it is a different axis along which bookmarks are accessed, orthogonal to the tags. Which means different mechanisms for grouping, sorting, searching, etc. just for this one flag.
No general advice, but when you're in your early 20's, the late 20's and early 30's seem like an eternity away, but they're really not.

When you're in your late 30's, you'll gasp at the thought of how much youth and potential you had in your late 20's. And if you let the idea that your late 20's is too old to start building a career stop you from making a change, you'll be kicking yourself a few years later and for the rest of your life.

Carpe diem.
The example routes they give don't seem like realistic comparisons - in most of them, the shortest route doesn't really have a safe sidewalk to walk on. They're just not practical options, and in some cases I doubt they're legal for pedestrians.
Agreed, starting my career as an in-house data analyst at a mid-sized public software company, I was able to show executives things they didn't know within a few months. Not because I was particularly smart, but because there was so much low hanging fruit.

While I disagreed with him on this point, here's another angle on how low hanging the fruit was: My manager _explicitly_ told us to never use statistics, because we'd be wasting our time with effects which weren't large enough to be obvious.

I can’t understand what is so hard to understand... under Xorg a program even with a traditional sandbox in which it can’t do anything, but display a window IS basically capable of keylogging everything, getting a root password etc. On wayland with the same sandbox you are safe from said attack — this exploit works by tampering with dynamic libs, but that is not available inside a sandbox and it is simply pedantic. It’s like saying a car failed a crash test when they throw it off a building and it arrived on its top..

Firefox, because I've used it since Netscape, and for ublock origin, and that it's not from Google or Microsoft and their current or eventual motivation to thwart tools like ublock origin.

So, I get that there is momentum behind rust but I'm still a little surprised they're hitching themselves to that as opposed to F#.

I'm obviously missing the big picture, but it just feels like if you want ocaml but can't use it¹ then f# may well be a closer fit. That said I'm sure it would be nice to get rust language training from the team at ocamlpro!

¹ For reasons you can't use ocaml I'm thinking about the long road to multicore, and access to a more substantial ecosystem.
