In the worldview of Stallman, your argument is analogous to saying that advocating for democracy is flawed because if an authoritarian regime or slave society provides a better product, people will choose it over worse democratic ones.

To Stallman, your counter-argument is a non-sequitur. His goal is maximizing user freedom. UX may be one dimension of user freedom, but at best it's secondary to certain prerequisite freedoms, such as the freedom to modify code so you can independently improve it, perhaps by improving UX for yourself and your community.

Many people sympathetic to Stallman, but more utilitarian, might argue that in the long term, user freedom is necessary for achieving optimal utility (e.g. UX, etc). And getting there might require short-term sacrifices in superficial aspects like UX.
AFL is not that smart. If you only do bit flippings on the inputs, then fuzzing a JavaScript engine/dom engine will take forever. The "domino" (Mozilla internal tool) looks quite powerful as it generates semantically correct dom. Sadly, it is not open source. Google has a tool designed specifically to fuzz JavaScript engines, Fuzzilli[1], which hackers have been using for bug hunting.

> Let the platforms be neutral, put the liability on the copyright violators and copyright holders equally, so both have a reason to act fairly.

One simple solution is that every time a bad takedown notice is successfully challenged, the copyright holder has a 1 in 10,000 chance of losing their copyright.

So, DMCA takedown is successfully challenged. Now we roll two 100-sided dice. If they come up snake eyes, the IP is now in public domain forever. That would make copyright holders only challenge content that they are confident is in clear violation. Disney's not going to give some copyright troll the contract to shotgun DMCA notices across YouTube, if it means a serious risk of losing the rights to Frozen.
> Do I feel like the firm/judge was stupid to ask 6000 pounds upfront, because someone just sued you and make a ruling for 25000 afterwards? Totally.

In the UK when you lose a lawsuit you are required to pay the other party's legal costs. It appears that the defendant had previously lost on some portion of the case. Here is the paragraph of the decision relating to that:

> The Defendant was ordered to pay the Claimant's costs up to and including the hearing of 6th July 2020 on the indemnity basis. This costs order has not been complied with. The Claimant seeks its costs of the disposal hearing. The schedule of costs for summary assessment seeks a further sum of £3,450. This sum is both reasonable and proportionate and I will make a costs order in the sum requested.

Legally yes, but call it retroactive cancelation then...
Something that is legal today but might be shameful or even ilegal in 30 years.

An example: a young person paints his face in black before going to a party. Decades later, black face is a thing and people find out about that party and it's now a shit show for the guy that is a prime minister of a country. There's no legal prosecution, but cancelation is even harder to deal with.

I'll be blunt. I understood your first line but I am completely lost with your second and third sentences. What kind of logic misusage? Mine? GPs? Who is supposed to sit down and exchange information? Me? GP? Cixin Liu? Exchange information with whom and to what end?

And are police being an "instrument" supposed to indicate that holding domestic relatives hostage is indeed a systematic policy rather than a circumstantial tactic particular to special cases, and is failing to understand that is a misuse of logic?
Monash School of Public Health | Python Developer for Infectious Disease Modelling | Melbourne, Australia | ONSITE (WFH flexibility)

You would work with a small team of epidemiologists on modelling COVID-19 and tuberculosis in Australia and Asia-Pacific. The team tries to answer questions like:

- what would be the effect of re-opening schools in the Philippines have on the future incidence of COVID-19?

- how many COVID-19 cases do we expect to see in Victorian ICU departments in the next two weeks?

The closest analogue to this position in industry would be "machine learning engineer" since it involves:

- converting mathematical models into robust Python code

- running these models on cloud computing

- handling the plumbing (data processing, cloud storage, CI/CD jobs)

Your teammates, disease modellers and epidemiologists, are analogous to "data scientists": in that they are domain
experts who can code and provide the theoretical basis for our models. They require assistance and advice on the
best way to approach software development practices such as code structure and testing.

The current codebase is publicly accessible on GitHub (github.com/monash-emu/AuTuMN) and includes:

- a generic framework for building infectious disease models

- specific disease modelling applications (e.g. forecasting the COVID-19 epidemic in the Philippines)

- auxiliary code for visualisation, data processing, cloud computing, unit tests

i really like this sort of exams, where some artificial condition isn't imposed on the examinees for ranking purposes.

I had a computer science exam where you are allowed to bring any text book/reference book you wish, and any notes you've written yourself. The exam was long and hard yes, but it was also thorough. One of the more enjoyable exams i recall taking - vs all of the other types.
About 40% of the public expresses authoritarian personality traits. From Wikipedia[1]:

Maybe because all the insurrectionists were murdered, removing them from the gene pool, by our monarchs ancestors.

Governance is accurately summarized as getting people to stop doing things they would have otherwise done, or to start doing things they wouldn't have otherwise.

In that sense, it is absolutely a failure of governance. People not wanting to contain it didn't happen in a vacuum... except perhaps a leadership vacuum.

> Sweden's current monarch is king because his ancestor was adopted.

Well, Karl XIV became king because he was elected by parliament, and then Karl XIII formally adopted him to make him and his family royal, not the other way around.

Either way, his son and grandson both married women that were descendants of Gustav Vasa in an attempt to bolster their claims, and that guy definitely took the throne by force.

So yes, you're right in that not every current reigning monarch has their position due to conquest, but most of them. And then that doesn't really matter, because the point I was making is that "rightful" is actually bullshit, it's 100% made up. It's political theater created to make it harder for presumptive conquerors to keep a throne, even if they have the might necessary to take it.

If you're suggesting some kind of causal link between monarchs and nice places, it seems a bit unfair to count "Canada, Australia, UK, NZ" individually, it kinds of pads the numbers a bit since it's all the same monarch.

Also, you haven't mentioned Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Grenada, Jamaica, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu. Are they not nice places, despite sharing the very same monarch?

Not super familiar with Jupyter, but it seems like a web application on top of python. Currently you are only getting infra metrics like memory & CPU. With SigNoz, you can get application metrics also - like p90 latency, etc, which are the slowest endpoints ( if Jupyter exposes different end points), and error rates, etc.
What's particularly interesting, and was unknown to me, was that 'The Great Gatsby' was not an immediate success. I was similarly surprised when I read that 'Moby Dick' had an initial print run of 500 copies and that only 3215 copies were sold during Melville's lifetime [0]. I guess authors get second chances.

To imply that adhesives are chosen “just to fuck with” repairers is absurd, paranoid and trivially falsified. The use of adhesives is widespread in the industry and are necessary for effective IP-rated waterproofing of these thin devices.

Consumers wanted phones that didn’t die when accidentally dropped into the bath. Apple, Samsung, etc complied.

Devices are still repairable, you just need knowledge of techniques and replacement adhesives. But now the chances of needing a repair in the first place have greatly lowered. That seems like a consumer friendly win to me.

My reading of the article is that it's supposed to be a reveal of something that most of the British public aren't aware of. Given that they aren't aware of it, it's probably safe to say that it doesn't factor into their estimation of her. In other words, she might as well have not reviewed more than 1000 laws, as far as the factors that go into her approval are concerned.
My modern physics professor did this for all our assignments. He didn’t want to rush students to fill out answers, so he made the questions very hard. We had to really understand the mechanics in order to answer the questions. I retained so much more by learning this way when compared to wrote memorization, and it was fun having discussions with other students to help each other understand the concepts.
The purpose is to prevent revenue loss by the recording company who could host their own public event (or selling rights thereof).

An NFT is authentic, traceable, has a history/provenance, and is different from any other NFT. There is no 1:1 copy, which is the point. That's essentially the same thing that makes a baseball from a world series game more interesting than one from batting practice. Same physical good, different history. Except on the blockchain that history is provable and can't be faked. Pretty cool stuff.

It is fascinating. But I always get uncomfortable reading stuff like this... I mean, they are placing sensors in a turtle’s brain, physically immobilizing it, aiming its head at a screen for a while, and you generally don’t release something to the wild after that. The ethical thing is considered to be killing it.

I get that there are a lot of aspects to modern life that sterilize the gruesomeness of reality. Still makes me uncomfortable when the illusion is peeled back and I catch a glimpse.

It appears they could be supported at the moment. In the sidebar there is a GitHub1s Settings menu (the bottom) and in that you can supply your own OAuth/App token to increase your request rate limit, but by delegating access to that token to your private repos you should be able to read your own or chosen/owned private repositories (the caveat being you're giving this app that token outside of a normal OAuth login flow, so I'm not sure how comfortable someone would be with doing that - it seems a normal GitHub OAuth sign in flow could be investigated).
Ask HN: Better to quit job before or after getting new one?
The Software Engineering job market is pretty good. Do you think it makes sense to quit a job so it's easier to do interviews for a new one?

Maybe it's possible to do more interviews and get offers to compete against each other? This could maybe give a higher pay boost. And be less stressful than doing many interviews with an existing job.
The point is that they didn't want to deal with self-hosting anymore. I think he makes some valid points in the article re: owning all of your own infrastructure - there is something to be said for that.

But it is so much more than just Git hosting.

> "It’s not just Bugzilla. It’s the wiki, the mailing lists, the quaint little Mercurial web interface.

It causes it for Sam and I, and we’re old Unix command line cowboys, so for those that expect computers to treat them like computers do in 2021–with slick UIs and without cronjobs that occasionally fail until Ryan rolls along to restart a service over ssh–it was becoming untenable."
Isn't this just an assignment where you're not sufficiently trusted to be in the location that suits you best (eg library, your desk?) A fully proctored assignment, you may not ask questions once you've read the problem.

Just because you're protected from the government doesn't mean that the mob won't get you. Take for example, the founder of Mozilla.

> If I understood you correctly, you suggest that parents of daughters divorce more often because the daughter was born to a couple of stressed parents

I don't. I was specifically responding to yellowbeard's comment, which read:

> Childless parents as a result of self aborting male fetuses would not show up in the study.

Yellowbeard provided one explanation for the fact that, despite male fetuses being more likely to self-abort, there is no difference between divorce stats of young male and female children. My response said why that explanation was wrong. I wasn't saying that the self-abortion delta affects divorce ratios, only that it might.

(Indeed, I do expect that it does have an effect, but that that effect is miniscule and unlikely to be measurable.)

No not really, if your language is intentionally designed to be a foundation for other languages. So many lisps are trivially host languages for other languages at their core. Even JS is at this point, with the widespread use of Babel and various bundlers. Those languages themselves are seldom very different underneath that.
> And of course Dicey himself was not empowered with any special authority, but rather assembled a rational argument based primarily on historical precedent, which has subsequently been broadly accepted by figures in authority in the UK but is still, like everything else about our constitution, more a matter of convention than clear popular mandate.

Isn't that true of any such system? The US may have a written constitution, but that would be just a piece of paper if it weren't for the conventions surrounding it.

> Perhaps more importantly, if Parliament really is constitutionally sovereign, in the sense that its rules are supreme over all others and nothing a current parliament does can ever bind a future parliament, then we can never improve our system of government by adopting a formal written constitution, even if doing so would have overwhelming public support at the time. If you're going to make any argument about improving the constitution, starting from a foundation that necessarily precludes the single most important improvement that could be made might not be the best idea.

The statement is that Parliament is sovereign, not that Parliament necessarily ought to be sovereign. In practice I'm sure we could find a way to restrict the authority of parliament - the judiciary have already signalled some willingness to question the validity of laws if they undermine the integrity of parliament as a democratic body or basic human rights. But assuming we didn't, sure, we'd have to technically have a revolution, akin to the founding of the Fifth Republic in France. So what? Most countries have to redo their constitution every so often - it'd be very strange to expect a written constitution from hundreds of years ago to be appropriate for government today.
Totally agreed, the academic world has always operated and depended on a walled garden approach and making things needlessly complicated. Thankfully the cracks are forming, the pandemic probably sped things up quite a bit with universities trying to charge students to essentially watch Youtube videos.

What's funny to me is that UIUC offers an online CS masters program now. Not having accessible solution guides seems like a disadvantage to these students.
