It has to be made clear that this isn't about legality. It's also not about whether this "technically qualifies" as "banning" or "censorship".

It's about what kind of society we want to live in. I want to live in an open society. I want to be able to watch movies and read books that offend people. I want to be my own censor and I want everybody to be their own censor. We're grown-ups, we can make decisions like this for ourselves.
> However, when it comes to cache locality, if the C programmer knows what they are doing, I think you'll have a very hard time beating them with Haskell or ML.

A programmer who knows what they're doing is a rare thing indeed. On actual business problems with real-world programmers Haskell consistently beats C, IME.

> AFAIK those languages have the same pointer-chasing issues I've described earlier.

There's a pragma to flatten strict record fields, or a compiler flag to do that by default (at least in GHC).

> Ebay is a private merchant

That doesn't mean their choices are somehow immune from public criticism.

I realize that clarity is in short supply in online discussions, but mostly I think people that are reacting negatively are just asserting that they disagree with the decision and not that a law has been broken or that the government should step in and force the decision to be reversed.
> But, again, it's less clear to me that general internet users -- that is, mostly people who never experienced the internet of 20 years ago -- have the same preference.

This may be the case, but i don't think we can draw the conclusion from that that they like the new internet, only that we dont know if they do. Which is a very different conclusion

That said, i think the real reason is that the internet sold out and went corporate. I think its pretty similar to what happens when an indie band makes it mainstream - all the original fans tend to hate the change.

Yeah I was sad about that guy at a theme park that got fired for making an OK sign in a family's photo. Its like everyone forgot about the circle game, "the game", and went straight for white supremacy racist.

I wanted to write in or call in, but it was too late.

This one is crazy, but I have my own causes and that ain't one of them! I find it peculiar and I'm aware "they are coming for the trade unionists next" but I think I can navigate this reality and stay out of the re-education camps.
Chunked encoding is used a lot in DNS over HTTPS servers, and it's a real pain to parse them.

Lots of servers I've encountered with my browser stealth actually violate the spec and send "lengths" that do not match the sent payload lengths afterwards. Some reverse proxies also mess up the last chunk, so they're violating the spec there, too, and send a chunk with a negative length...and the spec doesn't even define how to handle this. I've also seen servers send random lengths in between, but without a payload that follows.

I would also like to add range requests (206 partial content) here. In practice, it's totally unpredictable how a server behaves when requesting multiple content ranges. Some reply with no range at all, even with correct headers. Some reply with more or less ranges than requested. Some even reply with out of boundary ranges that are larger than the content length header of the same response because they seem to use a faulty regexp on the server side.

It's a total shitshow.
I would say very few residential customers need more than 10Mbps upload.

For 100Mbps you could run about 50 Zooms simultaneously. Who does that?

Unless you are massively uploading (likely illegal content) who needs greater than 10Mbps upstream at home?
Is it surprising? Coca Cola was recently in the news for having corporate training that instructed people to "be less white." People get really caught up in this stuff. She's a victim of an anthropology department at the local state university that is rabidly racist against white people.

The Mein Kampf lie is already halfway around the world. A tremendous amount of misinformation is already out there regarding this story.
> I want to learn from your interaction with the website and build what you need.

The first thing I looked for was an example of what it looks like, and one of the first things I found was a button that let me look at exactly that. Very nice!

Beyond that, I can only echo what someone else already said, that it looks nice and polished.

I did not create an account myself, as I presently am not in the need of collecting links in this way myself. But I appreciate it when for example companies have a link in their Instagram bio to a page like this where I can find their YouTube channel etc. And from what I saw on your site it looks good.

A couple of things I immediately wonder/think of though is

1. Do you have a business model for it?

2. If these kinds of pages continue to be popular, we might expect that Instagram and others implement this in kind of thing in their apps directly. Just like how they added Stories (Instagram and YouTube copying Snapchat) and Reels/Shorts (Instagram and YouTube copying TikTok).
Very nice, I want something like that now and then.

Although I wonder if one can build a reasonable ad-hoc approximation with fzf and/or entr.
The comment I was responding to:

> I think the publisher and now eBay are making the right call - children are impressionable, and presenting racial caricatures like these to them is not good.
I think means a restart of chrome is necessary, not a restart of the whole machine.
> Even if they were tracking you, they are doing so to give people better ads to make the world a better place.

They're doing it to improve their ability to coerce me to purchase products and services; not to make the world a better place.

Rampant consumerism has not made the world a better place, not by a long shot.
Just build your own eBay.
Nope, we call that "defense!"
I'm curious if this was at the request of Seuss's family. Yes, it seems to be overreaching, but I can see why that family might want to limit the spread of materials that don't present themselves in the best manner.
He is.

“Okay” is now considered racist.

It’s super pernicious too, but effective bludgeon. Making “Okay” racist is obscure enough that most normal people (ie those not obsessed with wokeness) have never heard of it.

Consider that you’ve never heard until now that “okay” is racist and you did the okay symbol in front of a political commissar (I mean a woke person, can’t keep up) that doesn’t like you. You’re done.
I get the vague impression that Dr. Seuss' estate asked eBay to do this, but maybe we'll never know.
I disagree. Most tickets my team points (using fibonacci) end up as a 5 or an 8. Sometimes we have something that's a 2 (like a config update or a one liner) but the majority of the time its a 5 or an 8. In fact, we often say if something is above a 13, it needs to be split into more tickets where each would likely be a 5 or an 8.

What would be far better is if in sprint planning, tickets were properly split into blockers and improvements (effectively the same as needs vs wants).

Its up to you and your team to help the PM understand what is likely to be completed in a given sprint between the needs and wants and what will rollover to the next (maybe some of those needs are actually wants, and some of those wants are actually needs - this is part of what sprint planning should involve). Part of that is also the PM communicating what needs to get done (and vice versa). Pointing is just a more arbitrary and lengthy means of having that conversation.

Sprint planning is useful, pointing does nothing. If a blocker ticket is in the current sprint there should be a good faith assumption that it will be taken care of. If something happens putting that deliverable at risk, that's where the line 'people over processes' matters more and you have to communicate what issues are preventing the team from completing the blocker.

I guess I'm trying to say. Pointing as a process is a waste of time and the information it conveys can be conveyed more efficiently with good communication with your PM and team and a decent amount of trust between engineering and external teams.

A guy at work made a no-frills search results viewer that was just a standard Windows UI ListView (table) window with one result per row. Best search page I ever saw, because you could see 40 results at a time instead of 10.
...Yes? It seems like the head of a private company should be able to decide how to spend money based on whatever reasoning they want, within the limits of the law. Are you suggesting there should be a law that would have prohibited this behavior somehow? Or just that it was morally wrong?
Services with notifications like GitHub should allow you to delay notifications until your indicated availability. Ignoring them isn't good enough and some people have them sent to their personal email.
Gaslighting? That's a big word. You should find out what it means before you use it so.

I've heard almost the exact quote three times on different episodes of the Joe Rogan podcast.
Sounds like a better candidate for a currency than BTC.
Yes, publishers being part of the elite but also the academic and media class. And I don't really care if they're left-wing or right-wing, whatever that means. I just want the general public to have access to books they're curious about, and especially so if they're deemed controversial. Yes, books go out of print all the time, but public libraries still mange to circulate them around to where they're requested.
That's really patriarchal.
> A sentence with "ought" in it is a signal that what follows is a pointless thought. You can't will things into existence by saying it "ought" to be that way.

Thanks for making it clear right up front that any time spent trying to communicate with you is wasted. :)
FWIW, we've got a #redux channel in the Reactiflux Discord where I and a couple other Redux maintainers hang out and answer an ongoing stream of questions. Not sure having specific "office hours" slots would work well for us, but we're happy to answer questions whenever we're around.
Agile - yes, Scrum - no.

Like with any great idea there was someone who decided to monetize it. Thats how scrum was born.

I see that with every pragmatic solution good devs try to share:

- TDD

- Agile

- FP

Sooner or later some “hot-shot” shows up and decides to “teach” ppl for money “how to do things correct way”.

After that great ideas turn into crap, because too many people want profit from it instead of learning from it.
Maybe you should read up on how Bitcoin actually works before you comment.
Almost every pharmaceutical drug has a small % of users claiming to be victimized long term, wonder if it's the same with covid. Struggling to breathe while running? must be long term covid effects, it for sure can't be the 40 pounds i put on and zero exercise from months of lockdown.
I think the 'should' is targeted at developers who want their projects to grow (which is not all open-source developers).
The word you're looking for is "irrelevant".

The technique is designed to encourage consumption. This does not necessarily make society more efficient; having frequent nags to consume product one does not need is wasteful.

It's more than likely that targeted ads make humanity less efficient, due to the widespread coercion to consume products and services that are not necessary for a healthy and happy life.
> It's completely within the right of the publisher to not want to profit from these books anymore

I've seen a ton of people disagree with this in the last several hours.
That is a great video. I found it intuitive and useful to pass along to friends and family. Thank you for sharing it!
strncpy also has the dubious behavior of zero-filling out to N even if strlen(src) is much shorter than N.

The fact that you can download a .zip file with your photos is not enough.
I took a look at those books (you can find them on many book piracy sites.)

They really were dated. Some of the drawings made me wince.

I'll bet, too, they didn't sell very well. If the publisher and the author's estate wants to stop selling them, that's their right, of course. No problems whatsoever.

But eBay stopping the secondary market is just silly. People have a legitimate reason to buy and sell used books, even ones that go against modern sensibilities.
I mean, yeah, it does just recognize pixel soups - all the neurons are just semi-scrutable combinations of other features. It's probably the case that there are some early neurons that recognize various letters, and so you'd have some subset of neurons that are shared between the "spiderman" neuron circuit and the circuits that are used by other neurons that recognize other words. I don't know how much credit you'd give that for "reading", but I'd say it at least would qualify as multi-modal.
> and i believe an indian writer should be deciding what apu says

This seems to belie the entire concept of fiction writing. Must that writer also be a straight married male with children and own a convenience store? Can a male writer write a book with female characters, or vice versa?
All progress we’ve made so far was by talking and understanding one another. Leaving would amount to silencing since the people who left are afraid to make their thoughts public for fear of backlash.
Did you notice Google penalizing the site for not having their analytics? Google says they don't penalize but I am not sure if I trust their word.
The word 'buddy' is considered unprofessional for me and some persons I know, maybe a lot of people even who are not English native speakers. It triggers the feeling of 'this might be a phishing site'.
The most plausible reason is that many of those reported symptoms were psychosomatic.
> Conservatives wouldn't complain if private companies were censoring and cancelling left-leaning content. They'd be out there defending private property rights and corporate freedom to act. It's transparently political.

I think you are confusing two very different things.

Criticizing Ebay for banning particular books, or AWS for dropping Parlor, or Twitter for banning various conservatives is not in contradiction with the libertarian/conservative idea that private entities should have the freedom to manage their business as they see fit.

Arguing for limited government oversight/power in these situations is orthogonal to criticizing the decisions on their own merits.
I learned how to draw from the book “drawing on the left side of the brain”. I’m not so sure about the neuroscience parts, but if you want to draw/paint, get that book.

All my sites looked terrible until I learned to paint.
I'd be excited about a widely adopted cryptocurrency that doesn't gobble up insane amounts of energy and needs an ever increasing amount of computing power to keep it from collapsing, but right now Bitcoin is using almost as much energy as Sweden, which isn't great.
But our society has taken a weird turn. Instead of recognizing the importance of this job, respecting stay-at-home parents and encouraging as many families as possible to invest in the future by taking the best care of their kids, we have effectively destroyed it.

I don’t accept the “we” here. Who did what exactly to “destroy” it?

And thanks to supply/demand, it's now expected for both spouses to work if you want a regular lifestyle with regular jobs. So unless you are considerably richer than your neighbors, your chances are very weak.

I don’t understand what you are saying here. At the bottom end, sure it makes sense, but not when you are talking to a bunch of people in the tech industry.

If you have a household income of $200k/year you can live a “regular” $200k/year household lifestyle in a $200k/year house in a $200k/year neighborhood. That’s true whether that $200k/year comes from one earner or two. In fact, if it comes from one earner you are a little better off tax-wise (because of the social security cap.)

It’s true that you can’t live a $400k/year lifestyle if your household is only making $200k/year, but so what?
lol, cute.

Something similar happened to MyEtherWallet splintering to MyCrypto. I recently had some telegram moderators split up and argue about which one of them I should be paying. I don't care who babysits my channels lol.

I guess the hilarious thing is that nobody really cares. Just figure it out.
Software development is usually better paid in Poland than medicine. Medicine starts to pay good way later in life, and only in certain specialisations.
What I never understood was if there are less female software devs simply because they genuinely value others things more in life than staring at pixels on a computer screen (e.g. raising a family) and if this is the case in other time intensive fields such as medicine and law?

Biological clock and childrearing are well understood from an evolutionary perspective and are things that affect men disproportionately less.

When the topic of gender diversity in tech comes up, why is this such a controversial point to raise or am I missing the argument for gender diversity in STEM fields? More women are graduating college than men are they not? Why are fields like Human Resources and Nursing dominated by women? Are there simply different skill sets that differ between men and women that we are not acknowledging?

Anyone have any studies or data on this topic to explain why?
Nuclear powered steam-engine. That sounds more accurate to what is actually going on with fusion power, I think.
The question is, preferred by whom? Most Hispanic people use "Hispanic", and almost all of the remainder use "Latino". The other terms are fashion statements to show that the speaker keeps up with new intellectual trends, so they lose preference whenever they become too well known; you can date groups like fossil records by seeing whether their name uses "Latinx", "Latina/o", "Latin@", or "Latin".
Spot on. Bringing the stakeholder to the squad (just for a daily meeting, for example) is a great Agile insight which doesn't need Scrum at all. I highly recommend it.
Sounds like you're describing an Amiga http://toastytech.com/guis/amiga1.html
I'm not beholden to the arguments they made.

The point is that the publisher and ebay choosing not to participate in commerce related to these books isn't telling you to do anything, and they don't have any obligation to participate in that commerce.

If the publisher was calling for the government to supervise the books that you read to your children, well then you'd have a point.
Oddly I’ve not yet heard the NSF described as “rich people”.
The working poor simply don't have the safety net of good credit or wealthy families that the vast majority of HN commenters do. If you're living paycheck to paycheck and get a $400 surprise expense, you don't have $400 just sitting in some money market account, or two shares of SPY they can just sell, because the poverty wages being paid to millions of working people leave zero margin to build any sort of financial security, leading to a kind of precariousness that is unimaginable to the educated professional with a comfortable upbringing. "Assets" means things like a wedding ring, some power tools, a computer, or maybe even a 1995 Dodge Neon; if you go to a pawn shop, you can see the sorts of things people pawn (or sell) when they desperately need $400 for an emergency expense.

They often take payday loans, mortgaging their next minimum-wage paycheck; since the next paycheck minus payment no longer covers their regular living expenses, they take another predatory loan or pawn another heirloom. 80% of people who take a payday loan have to renew it because they can't repay it. I have a deep personal dislike for Dave Ramsey, but he does a good job of explaining how even minor emergency expenses can lead to a cycle of debt and further despair. (https://www.daveramsey.com/blog/get-out-payday-loan-trap)

There is so much more instability and precarity in this country than most PMC people can imagine.
eBay has been determining what's too offensive for its platform since the very beginning, as has more or less every other website on the internet, including this one.

So the real line in the sand being drawn here isn't about the principle of moderation but what is being moderated. In this case, the idea it was offensive wasn't even original to eBay: the publisher decided it was inappropriate to sell and eBay followed.

So a flurry of account cancellations isn't going to signal opposition to the principle of moderation so much as angry denial that images like this[1] could be deemed racist. That's a point of view of course, but all eBay get out of it is "wow, the other side of the culture war is even more obsessive"

I help them with exposure therapy.
I think this is terrific you are trying to tackle this problem. The issue with using "50 year old" techniques is a detriment to progress. Interface looks beautiful as well.

My insights are probably things you've already considered. There are as many quantitative microscopy techniques as there are lab teams in the wild. Everyone builds their own correlations depending on their research dive of interest. So I think even if you just solved that problem: cloud storage of images combined with manual human analysis software. You could get some fraction of the million or so researchers across the globe. For many UI use cases, simplicity is desirable. But in this space, I think feature richness is key (even if 80% of users only need 20% of counting techniques).

The other obvious point is that image analysis can be similar across domains. From biology, to high energy physics. Even places you may not dream of: digital archeology. Keeping things general as possible may not be in your original mission or expertise, but I think it could help discover other pockets of interest.

Last point is around "AI enhanced microscopy". I've seen state of the art techniques like this termed "Medical Vision". Sort of a combination of "precision medicine" and "computer vision". As you try to break from the past, it may be something to ascribe to your services. Plus it sounds cool and futuristic ;)

Best of luck and really rooting for this to succeed. Definitely a problem that needs to be solved. And ripe with potential. Great job!
That was by design: From the wikipedia page: The monks that built it were "considered the strictest of the monastic orders, they laid down requirements for the construction of their abbeys, stipulating that "none of our houses is to be built in cities, in castles or villages; but in places remote from the conversation of men."
