Mathematician ranked as “highly cited researcher” has third paper retracted
Honestly I don't understand why Congress needs to fund these slots as much as they do. Hospital residents do a big chunk of day-to-day work seeing and treating patients. They routinely work well over 80 hours per week based on the people I've talked to (despite this being illegal). And yet the government pays teaching hospitals $120k per year for each resident, while residents get something like $60k in salary from the hospital. It feels like a broken and exploitative system.

You'll find an answer in https://web.dev/same-site-same-origin/:

[...] for domains such as .co.jp or .github.io, just using the TLD of .jp or .io is not granular enough to identify the "site". And there is no way to algorithmically determine the level of registrable domains for a particular TLD. That's why a list of "effective TLDs"(eTLDs) was created.

If foo.github.io and bar.github.io were considered same-site, one subdomain could mount cross-origin same-site attacks against the other. I'm guessing that's why companies that have multiple tenants on the same domain (github.io, in this case) ask that the domain be added to the public-suffix list: for isolation purposes. Other examples of public suffixes are azurewebsites.net (Azure App Services) and repl.co (Repl.it).

I'm not convinced that "12th salty meme battalion" shitposting from their secure basement (moooom it's called a SCIF!) really have a similar experience to anyone described in the post.

On the other hand, there is definitely a universal information warfare experience, I think (so, I agree with you).

All the 90's hackers I know used to think it was about the bits and bytes and buffer overflows and making the computer do stuff - and got blindsided when it turned out the important "battleground" was and still is in the human mind.

At least until the power goes out. All that stuff will be worms and pre-established access and will happen really fast.
Same; even with 8K screens, I'm sure my mild eye problems (glasses) would cause enough issues for me to prefer a regular screen.

To be honest, this sounds like profit thinking as well. Why would one need "wide audience" when it's about their interest and hobbies? They need sincere search engines, that's all.
I’ve seen the visitor pattern used mostly in compilers where there might be 50 cases in the AST for a compiler for a production language. So when looking at how the code is written for a visitor pattern, I think about how the code might look in a compiler if you had a lot of cases. Does it scale? The amount of boilerplate you need matters because it’s multiplied by 50.

The examples I’ve seen of Church encoding don’t look like code I’d want to read or write. Who wants to write a function that takes 50 functions as parameters? At least use a struct of functions. The struct serves as a vtable, so you might as well use an object-oriented language’s built-in vtables.

(Although I suppose in C, you’d need to implement the vtable yourself. Structs of functions are how OOP is commonly done in C.)

I understand how mathematically they’re equivalent but that’s ignoring practical differences in how they appear on the screen. It was neat when in Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programming they showed how you could implement data structures using only functions but that doesn’t make it a design pattern you want to use, it’s just trivia.
This Rust function has badly chosen single-letter type parameters that confused someone on my team recently: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/result/enum.Result.html...

Result<T,E> uses T for a generic contained value and E for another generic contained value that should be an error. So far so good.
The `map_err` method then uses F for the new error type because it's just next alphabetically to E and uses O for the closure it accepts as parameter because F is taken. Usually, F is used for function arguments. F and O are not just non-descriptive, having F not be the function when there's a function argument is actively misleading. Instead of `F`, something like `NEW_E` or `NEW_ERROR` would have been much easier to understand.

My “problems” with semantic white space are more along the lines of “oh, well, this is clearly unintuitive or is creating small errors”. It’s also one of the most persistent thing that learners will forget, even the good ones, when writing their own code. Defining a class method, and then indenting back to the original scope has some degree of cognitive overhead that simply enclosing things in typical c-like lexicon, i.e. with the interpreter noting brackets and not white space, doesn’t have.

As for teaching JavaScript’s pain points... that’s not really how I operate. I’d rather they know the general rules and come across edge-cases when they’re in a position to solve them, rather than overload them with information. Automatic semi-colon insertion is powerful enough to get you through several large-scale projects, so there’s essentially no point to discuss it prematurely as anything but a curiosity, “this could be a gotcha, so keep your code clean”.

Finally, comparing the error linters in VSC for Python versus javascript, especially if you //@ts-check... I think JavaScript actually does a better job.

> And that's where someone went wrong. There should have been a test, or runtime failure, or even better (but more difficult) a compilation failure if someone misuses something in that way.

I don't subscribe to the idea of creating so much additional code for a relatively simple constraint.

Code should be dense. Dense means a lot of important constraints implemented in small amount of code.

Of course this is not yet guarantee that the code is readable and easy to maintain, but as a general rule, a codebase that has 5 times the amount of code to implement same functionality will more likely than not be less maintainable. That is because it is just more difficult to work with that much code.

> There should have been (...) or even better (but more difficult) a compilation failure if someone misuses (...)

In this particular case what I suggested was to move the original function with generic name from a generic utility package to a specific module package with specific name.

See? Compilation failure, not difficult at all.

While that sounds like it would work in theory, we've been experimenting with 3D interfaces for work for decades and... it just hasn't caught on. I used to have a 3D desktop application back in the day, where your character could walk through a virtual room to open up a browser, apps, etc. It was a gimmick. Nothing beats hitting cmd+space and three letters to start an app (besides having it open already / cmd-tabbing to it)

Food safety has risen in prominance as an issue and optimization of preparation with methods from high production industries is changing how commercial kitchens are run.
> No one is talking about the very big risk associated with this, that mental health professionals can commit you against your will with no trial

Police can arrest you and hold you against your will with no trial, for a limited period of time (e.g., 48 hours excluding Sundays and holidays is a common tule, IIRC), on the premise that it is pending charges for criminal behavior (which may or may not be filed.)

Mental health professionals (and, in many jurisdictions, law enforcement officers and others, too, can initiate this) can hold you against your will and with no trial, on the premise that it is for emergency psychiatric evaluation, for a limited time (72 hours is common.)

Further involuntary detention, in either case, requires judicial process.

I'm not seeing a particular additional danger here.
It was just a mildly interesting story, about how a seemingly unrelated restriction changed the product. I don't think anyone is taking this to be an incredible development that'll change the world.
I didn’t see it mentioned in the article so I’ll say it here:

Please please please don’t using anything more than the 8 (plus 8 “bright”) colours when doing text interfaces in the terminal. The reason being that the 8 colour palettes are defined by the terminal emulator where as the 256 (and other ANSI palettes not discussed in that article) are defined by the programmer.

Why does this matter? Simply because not everyone uses the same terminal colour scheme. If a programmer chooses a colour from the 8 colour palette then your terminal will (hopefully) render the text in a colour that’s distinct enough from the other text and background colours to be readable. However if you, as a programmer, choose the colour yourself there will be a great many terminal configurations where the colour you’ve chosen isn’t readable.

For example not everyone has a black background. macOS Terminal defaults to white whereas I tend to use Solarised Dark colour schemes that are more of a plum colour.
USSR had a long history of putting disidents in psychiatric wards. Those who dared to criticize communism ("the greatest system ever") would be labeled as crazy and locked in a hospital.
Respectfully, I think you've missed the key points of the article.

As another commenter pointed out, nowhere does the author make the claim that technology isn't utopian. Rather, the author asks us to critically evaluate whether a technology is beneficial:

"We should approach technology in the same way we approach any other human system: by evaluating how it supports or undermines individual well-being."

Moreover, the author supports the point you are trying to make in your anecdote. The author makes it very clear that certain technologies, like medicine and hospitals, are examples of technologies which are inherently utopian:

"There are profoundly anti-human technologies (nuclear weapons) and pro-human technologies (vaccines)."
"Our struggle with death, especially untimely death, is a utopian struggle. Hospitals are perhaps the most utopian institutions we’ve built."

The author's central claim is that a utopia must be humanist. In the words of the author, "The point is simply that we should always treat individuals as ends, never as means." In the context of technology, if utopia must be a humanist one, the author argues that if technological innovation trades off the humanity of individuals for growth, it must be rejected.

Let's go back in time to say 7 years ago, when it was becoming clear that Python 3 wasn't going the way of Perl 6^w^wRaku.

Clearly the 2->3 transition is costly for JPMorgan and some others.

Let's suppose they were willing to fund a special edition version of Python, to help with the upgrade process. Let's say, 10 FTEs for three years.

What might it have looked like?

For example, could Python 2.7's string object be annotated to remember if the string was a b"" string or a "" string, with that information tracked appropriately, to report if byte string is used in a Unicode context?

Ditto for open() on binary vs. text files.

And could the history of the creation and later changes be tracked, to help identify where the problem was?

Now, if done at the C level this would cause changes in the PyObject layout, which would probably break extensions. But then what about AST transformations to put all that tracking information at the byte code level?

That's just one idea - what else could have been done with $8 million in funding that would have made it worthwhile for enough companies to fund?

Then I look at Python itself, and how large companies pay so little for its core development, and I realize that the above is just a pipe dream.

I spent a few decades chasing "the next great language", and I regret it. I wish I had spent those hours learning about statistics or cryptography or algorightms. Things that are timeless. If you want to be a jack of all trades, master of none, by all means, chase the next great thing.

I for one, think it's more likely that Python will evolve. The mathematicians and physicists, biologists, astronomers etc. that have finally gotten rid of C++/Fortran and learnt Python aren't going to change to anything with forced static typing any time soon...
Motion Sickness. You can try it with FPS.

For me it is funny because the more realistic or better the graphics, a higher baseline frame rate is required. So my brain sort of work great with Counter Strike at 60 Fps, where the graphics are low Res and not any good by modern standard. Once it gets to very good / realistic level my brain sort of half interpret it as real thing. And expect "real" world motion. At this point 120fps feel so much better while 60fps cause me headache.

If we are not limited by computation constraint I would want to push for even higher frame rate rather than higher resolution.
Swarming with them here in London. Can't move for the things.
From what I gather beamforming operates only in limited range, i.e. tracking satellites as they move small fraction of a degree per second. For bigger adjustments the dishes turn mechanically. It's not clear if beamforming could handle relatively small waves, but for big ones mechanical adjustment would be needed. I'm speaking out of my ass, but if I had to guess moving the antenna mechanically would not keep the link up in wavy waters.

Yes, and he's quoted talking about it in an article in The Smithsonian Magazine [1]:

> While stories have persisted that Shepard sprung this stunt on his own—or smuggled the club head and balls to the lunar surface, he had indeed gotten permission.

> It took him a while, though, to convince Manned Spaceflight Center director Bob Gilruth, who was not keen on the idea.

> “Absolutely no way,” Shepard recalled the initial response.

...

> Shepard explained he’d bring the modified Wilson Staff 6-iron club head and two balls in a tube sock “at no expense to the taxpayer.” And he promised not to even try it if anything on the mission went wrong. For that reason, he waited until the end of their lunar visit.

The author actually discusses it in the first article on this series: it is the case for “soldiers” (people who have a life outside of war) but not for “warriors” (people who's identity is defined by the act of war): western knights were warriors, and as such, they never had to pretend normality: quite the opposite, they viewed themselves as a superior kind of men, deserving privileges, wealth etc. precisely because they knew war.
