once you have evaluated the structures of apologies to find what constitutes a good apology, and disseminated your findings far enough, it will cease to be a good apology because it would become a target and cease to be meaningful, everyone who didn't actually believe in apologizing would nonetheless use the well-structured apology to get what they wanted out of it - forgiveness of their fault.
No it isn't, in this case.

I think Taleb has the best summary of this, for all his flaws: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dKiLclupUM

In short, risk due to coconuts vs sharks is a valid comparison because we have good priors about growth rates, and they are similar. Coconuts vs covid is a terrible, terrible comparison because again we have good priors on growth but they are mind-bogglingly different functions of time.
You’ve pretty well described German philosophers.
Product/market fit is more about people than technology. If you structure/instrument the tech to maximize feedback, then you are probably on the right track. Otherwise, go “talk” to 1000 customers/users as step 1...
I don't see what's so groundbreaking here. It looks like a lot of back patting.

You've basically described a classical von Neumann architecture. The only reason hard drives were added to that is because volatile memory is expensive and the only reason why we don't use flash memory instead is because flash is not performant enough.

The proposal has never been impossible. Just impractical and non performant in the real world. There's no such thing as "terabytes of non volatile memory" without either spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on RAM or settling for slow flash RAM.

Pedantic note: the 'context' in context free grammar has no relation to the kind of context you're talking about here. It's a very technical notion.

The value add I see is having a consistent interface to all your tools through the CLI.

When your entire workflow is CLI based, having access to your tools from the CLI is really valuable. Unforutunately, I'd wager that the people that this applies to are the first to write their own wrappers for their tools to fit their exact workflows.

This would have been interesting for me, if I hadn't already gone through the effort of writing a bunch of jira/confluence/bitbucket/jenkins CLI wrappers.

> In my view, the great think about slide rules is that they do not encourage false precision. Too many calculator users will copy all those decimal points without considering how far they are meaningful.

This is by far the biggest loss from leaving the slide rule behind. People now confuse a greater amount of data with having more information. We have generations who believe they're being more accurate because they appear have greater precision, but in reality they're just more confident in their innumeracy.

Hearing more lies (as in the the extra digits) doesn't make you more right. This truth does not just apply to arithmetic, but at least it's more measurable with numbers.
> The complicated web is here because users insist on interaction

Do they, though? Or is it the product managers who insist on such things? I'd put more weight on them. Some of it might be backed by user data, but generally it feels like they're pushing things unjustifiably or for wrong reasons.
Another suggestion in the chart: it isn't obvious which line is about your project because it doesnt list the `goccy/` part. I would add that and move it to the top, out it and the standard in bold.
This is a common response to complaints about front end complexity, but how true is it, or how true does it have to be? We're posting on a very successful website that could have easily been built in the early 2000s in terms of technology, if not earlier.

In my day job, I write server-generated HTML for a growing and successful startup, without React, front-end frameworks or a particularly complicated front-end build setup (we do use AJAX, but in the "deliver server-rendered HTML and inject into the DOM" sense), and the user experience is comparable with many other web apps I use, some of which are almost certainly full-fledged SPAs, and is well-loved by our users. My team's productivity is easily double what I've experienced at jobs using the latest and greatest technologies.

Could I use this approach to build Google docs? Probably not, but then again, that's not what I'm building, and I don't need a tool capable of building that.
Once I read the story, I could easily predict the comments that would follow on HN:

I assume because they have more margin to keep up. If you work a system like this with $1/user minus the 30 cent Cpanel license, you have little to spend on security.

The "no vm per user" means any privilege escalation bug lets a hacker wipe it all. And your unsupported customers are probably running all sorts of vulnerable stuff.
I think the point still remains though that long term maintenance is a much harder problem that wasn't dealt with. Emergency measures, such as what you're describing here, should not be solved with permanent solutions which cut corners for expediency.

Rather than creating a better-than-emergency solution up front, they could've created a more temporary solution with the intent of replacing it with a long term maintainable solution.

Consider as an analogous project temporary bridges which are built until construction of long lasting maintainable bridges are completed.

edit: I originally said "they should've", as if I were speaking from a place of authority, which I am absolutely not.
No they're not that stupid. This is going to be to monetize people who make revenue from social media. So for example, all UK journalists are on twitter because twitter drives good amounts of traffic to it. Why is twitter not monetizing those journalists? It's not like those journalists are actually participating on twitter, it's all driving traffic out to their own organisations.
Prima facie this comment enraged me, but on reflection it has a deep point; both parties here are just acting out of rational self interest. Google has decided that their bottom line won't suffer if they tell locked-out customers to get fucked. They would rather use the money on cheeky bets that carry small risk and have high potential upside.

The critical corollary is that if you still feel it is a problem that Google doesn't provide support, and feel that "the market will fix it" is unconvincing in light of the available evidence, then you ought to be in favour of regulation that obligates them to.
No*, but I visit reactjs.org regularly, so this could also be due to Google tracking me. In full disclosure, I clicked the article thinking it was about ReactJS. I've never used ReactOS, though I've been aware of the project (and visited their webpage) before ReactJS was even a thing.

Edit: This could very easily be from AdBlock Plus as well, but the tooltip was under the address bar (and it doesn't reappear when I visit reactos.org)

Edit2: I got this when navigating to https://goggle.com also (that's goGGle, not google). Turned off Lastpass and Adblock Plus to confirm it wasn't from them.
I completely agree and I'm glad I'm not the only one! The point about readers needing to guess what was changed, and why, and how honest the alteration is pin points how I feel when I read quotes which overuse or misuse brackets.
The specific issue is;:

> Many internal data structures and internal functions, not exported anywhere and not part of the public symbols, have the exact same names as they appear in the Research Kernel (which, by the way, is quite obsolete). There is an almost surely zero probability that this happened, at that scale, by accident.

Unfortunately I don’t think anyone who doesn’t have access to the research kernel is capable of answering.
Start their own app that's better.

That's one option, though I wouldn't necessarily use Quora as a mainline example. They're kind of a $gme for rich people. I think highly enough of Jimmy to bet on him doing a much better job than that.

Stackoverflow is a decent example. Very capable founding team. They explicitly tried to be like a commercial wikimedia. They do embrace quite a lot of openness, notably creative commons... learning from wikimedia successes.

RE "I wish Wales would:" Another consequence for how wikipedia is structured is that Wales isn't the Zuckerberg of Wikimedia. Power is a lot more dispersed.

RE spending/flaws and such: I feel like wikimedia is held to an extremely unfair standard. Who/what should we compare them to?

Wikimedia spend $70m per year. This is probably less than Quora or stackexchange. FB & Twitter (IMO more comparable in terms of scale/importance) spend $55bn & $3bn. Twitter spends 45X more than Wikimedia. Facebook spends almost 1,000X compared to Wikimedia. The bang-for-buck is insane.

Also in terms of flaws in rules/judgement calls. A lot of people are highly critical of wikipedia's "deletionism" related MOs. What articles/edits stay in. How good the rules & procedures are for this. What "camp" has power, and how they treat the other camp. I get that this stuff is contentious.

Meanwhile on Twitter or Facebook, the rule is "I decide." "But it gets us clicks" is the killer argument. Nothing is transparent. Wikimedia is doing a much better job, respecting user & editor rights far more, being a lot less self righteous. Of course it's not perfect, but come on. The "norm" is Facebook's content policy, Twitter's safety department, or Apple's App store approval room. Wikimedia is the one example of being better than that... and for that everyone is always yelling at them.
>The use-mention distinction, any nuance and context whatsoever stopped mattering

There is a certain amount of ambiguity between use/mention. The possibility of ambiguity leads to people being paranoid. Everything that is "mentioned" is being "used" for the purpose of mentioning it. It's a choice that is made, and intentions can be inferred. It's easy to see it as passive-aggressive behavior, and impossible to know what is in someone's heart.

Just because you know or claim to know the truth about something doesn't mean it's automatically logical for someone else to agree. Thinking about things carefully often leads to less certainty.
Hooks and functional components are indeed a different way to look at it, but I sure am happy that they went that way. I doubt that we will see a paradigm shift like that in React again, at least in this decade. And they've been very good at maintaining backwards compatibility.
Indeed but it does provide direct value to the open source community even when it fails in the more ambitious end goal. For example the ReactOS and WINE devs do collaborate a fair amount.

I've also read that a fair number of ReactOS developers have been recruited by Microsoft over the years. So even if the project itself never reaches feature parity, it's still a strong advert to put on ones CV.

A lot of these problems with inefficiency comes down to "muh state's rights", and less federal involvement. I think my stance shines through, but I understand it's debatable per case.
Why are you so mad. Your argument is so overblown that even the modicum of value that is in your argument is rendered useless.

Why don’t you ask people to invent math, then, and not show them the way? Why even teach anything? Of course people learn by checking their proof and being thorough, but it’s up to them. Solutions can provide certainty for people, much like how peers and peer review system can in science. Even the most decorated academics need a second opinion, and you are pretending like that isn’t a thing.

I think you need to stop being so harsh and get over yourself. Not everybody uses a solutions manual the way you think.

Sure you can, but then the moment you want to use an external library with it, it's basically a coin flip whether they ship it in the correct format for that. If they don't, you have to import it - but you can only import from modules. So you modify your page to load your code as a module instead, but now you can't access the global state. So you refractor everything and realize, that your page takes a minute to load because each of those modules contains like a 100 dependencies and half of them overlap.

TL;DR: it's there, but it's really only usable in like 5% of scenarios
I exclusively cook with cocco, to me it's miles beyond the competition but also a lot more expensive than rummo or de cecco. Haven't don't any direct comparisons between rummo and cocco, would you say the quality is similar?
Well, personal freedom is neither left nor right but rather up (Libertarianism) versus down (Authoritarian). If you divide the political spectrum in a XY scatter chart you get both Bush, Trump and Obama at Top Right pretty close to each other in Authoritarian Right. Someone like Sanders is to the Left but still pretty Authoritarian in some ways, so not really what is seen as Left outside the US. Someone who is what is normally called Left (left and down) would be Jill Stein (or Noam Chomsky if not only looking at politicians). So in short, both your examples are likely in the Top Right; Right Authoritarians, if they are from the US.

>Wanting to shift to a constitutional monarchy was once "the left"

Yes, in many places they still have names from back then. For example one of the biggest political parties from Denmark is named "Venstre" which literally means "Left", even though they are to the Right (conservative-liberal). Quite funny that a close match from Norway is called "Høyre" which means "Right". They rooted for Joe Biden in the election though and had a big party back when Obama won, because US Left is their Right to center-right and the republicans are just way too extreme for their taste.
Users just want it to work. I think the problem is too many developers trying to impress each other for status.

IMO, what matters most is coding efficiency, how fast can business problems be solved with a low enough error threshold.

> We’re literally looking for evidence that there was carbon life on the planet next door.

And we haven't found any.

> I personally think it’s hard to say that in all likelihood we’re alone.

We simply have no idea. None of our model work at that scale, especially not our intuition or our "statistical" models (we have 1 data point, and it mostly is incomplete). It's like looking at an enormous pile of snow and saying "there must be gold in there, my friend found gold while digging in africa, surely this pile of snow is big enough to contain at least a bit gold".

I wouldn't be surprised if life evolved somewhere else, maybe hundreds of time (either in the past, present or in the future), I just don't see how you can claim with absolute certainty that it happened and that we're not alone.

Saying with absolute certainty that we're not alone is a guess, just like saying we're certainly alone, we don't have the tools to determine it. If someone shows me an advanced math equation and ask me to solve it I'd say "I don't have the tools" not "it's probably 2"

I hate this attitude. It punishes students (and self-learners) who want to be as good as possible and who’d use solutions to get fast feedback.

Base 10 Engineering Notation uses SI Prefixes, for these a set of letters exist with the upper-case indicating positive exponents (large numbers) and lower-case indicating negative exponents (small parts of one unit) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units#...

Offhand, and at a glance, none of the upper case correspond to a lower-case prefix. This is probably to detect incorrect usage.

In Computer Science / programming generally, the convention has been that an uppercase B indicates bytes, while a lowercase indicates bits.

Modern computing systems frequently address integer numbers of size 64b, 32b, 16b, 8b (8B, 4B, 2B, 1B respectively).

Examples:

1 Gb (SI G bit, since if discussing bits telecom stuff is implied; I argue that this too is incorrect, but it's efemeral, not storage. Still I can't send less than a byte.)

1 GB (CS G Byte) storage somewhere, memory. Invariably a base 2 power since otherwise packing and transcription to accommodate re-packing would be a power-hungry nightmare.
Probably given that they say the hackers compromised the servers hosting their customer database. The notice is seriously lacking in details though.
It isn't worth the effort. Looking at their machine (CPU) specs, their equipment is pretty old. They likely have been running on autopilot for a few years.

Rebuilding their clientele after a unmitigated disaster like this would probably take so much time that they would never get back in the black, especially since they are trying to do it on $12/year per customer. That requires a LOT of customers and they will have lost most of their existing ones before they would be able to rebuild.

Add on that they probably have outdated software, probably a lot of it custom/customized, that have unknown security holes...
This is a suggestion from someone from the FTC, not a study. It would be nicer to have data instead of opinion.

For instance, PC games have microtransactions too. Many top-toxic companies are are mostly in the PC ecosystem and don’t have to pay to be on PC.

Having your site work with "raw html" pays off several times over in my opinion, even if you completely ignore people who actually turn off Javascript:

- Page navigation becomes easier if you know the server can handle any route you throw at it as a launch point.

- You can get by with cheaper end-to-end tests for critical flows by not using Javascript in your test suite (although you should be careful to use it when it's important)

- You get a degree of protection if something does go wrong on the front end that you get a non-JS experience to fall back to.

- Pages that genuinely don't need Javascript (think like simple CRUD forms) don't have to pay the SPA tax.
Capital spending and construction are far more friendly to electoral politics than ongoing maintenance and operating expenditures.

People see what a good job you've done getting a dam built or a bridge constructed, they vote for you. People don't vote for you because they didn't suffer the consequences of reduced maintenance. People vote against you if you raise taxes to pay for maintenance or if they're inconvenienced by shutdowns while they repair your dam or bridge.

The problem is systemic.
