Well, did it really not work out as he hoped, or was it exactly what it was supposed to be while he was writing? I don't think we can have a situation where one thing is noticeably better than the alternative and it doesn't get copied and performed. There's just another version of Fussell's X out there right now. I'm not sure what it is.
This is 100% true. So far i have not even received a answer to 5+ reports about issues running with proton. Even thought most are simple fixed unity quirks
> Leads to centralized platforms outperforming these BYOC/federated/open options. Basically how Reddit replaced Usenet with upvotes and basic spam filtering.

That is a nice insight.
"Sleight of Mouth" is a great resource for anyone who wants to learn more about NLP techniques like framing.

> Perhaps the most fundamental goal of applying the verbal patterns of Sleight of Mouth is to help people to shift their perspective 1) from a problem frame to an outcome frame, 2) from a failure frame to a feedback frame, and 3) from an impossibility frame to an ‘as if’ frame.

(An "as if" frame is where you imagine if the impossible outcome was possible and what that would be like.)

One of the main takeaways from this book was learning about Disney's creative process (although this wasn't discussed explicitly). There's three roles, all being important: the dreamer, the realist, and the critic.

The critic tends to operate from the "problem frame." Basically, they can be more effective by shifting to the "outcome frame." Instead of focusing on what you don't want, figure out what you do want instead. "Avoiding stress" changes to "becoming more relaxed and comfortable."

After identifying the positive intention behind the criticism, the book recommends changing it from a statement into a "how" question. "How can we...?"
What has the world come to, when a BBC 'journalist' can write an article like this, without even including the words 'fata morgana'?

Of course, we know the answer, it is a comprehensive lack of education, and a total failure of any claim to knowledge, by a self-appointed class, which pretends to tell us about the world.

I would normally just say caveat emptor, and hope the journalist would be fired, or the news agency go out of business immediately, but the Brits have a mandatory tax, called the 'TV License' to sustain all this bullshit.
I have no experience using Face ID on my phone.
I have never viewd it that way, but you are absolutely right about the danger.

On the other hand I have now seen multiple games where the developers were implementing wine specific bugfixes.

I think it goes both ways: Showing willingness to support at least proton/wine will also net you some additional sold copies.

And being unfriendly towards linux users is probably more bad PR nowadays than it used to be.
No amount of unlocking would have enabled you to use your iPhone in the second largest operator in the US; Verizon
Also the driving test is a joke in the first place so there are a ton of unsafe drivers.
Pretty sure I'll get shit for this one. I like Microsoft BI. It's easy and quick to slap charts together, filter, organize, etc. It can import a crazy amount of file formats and DBs. The stand alone is free and exports pdfs you can decently design. I mostly use it privately for investigating data. So my report generation knowledge isnt deep. If you want to use the cloud services, that costs a bit. They update just about every month with some new features. I find quarterly is when you see significant changes.
5% on top of the Stripe fee? That seems extremely high - do you actually have customers willing to pay that?
If I remember correctly, the cars built in system for emergency braking in this scenario was disabled. So, any other car of that type would have avoided the accident. However, because the AI apparently knew better, it was disabled and someone died.

AI has the problem that not only does it need to observe the environment and determine what to do, but it has to predict the actions of non-rational actor (humans). We aren’t always predictable. AI isn’t always predictable either. The woman who died may have assumed that a car driven by a person would have stopped.
> Humour is rarely appreciated here, but I found this funny and on point.

Yes, we just play our hyperbole with a straight bat.
I didn't realize there was a USB adapter. There's a problem on Windows where pairing an xbox controller via bluetooth can result in reduced performance, so I've taken to using my switch pro controller in Steam. The switch controller doesn't work for games that can't be launched via Steam, though, so maybe I'll pick the adapter up (and someday move to Linux maybe? I keep thinking about it).
>I can see co-ordinated mod strikes occurring with the purpose of hurting the share price as a way of making reddit hq pay attention.

For every mod that goes on strike, many more people will step up to take over.

Most of the mod work in the high volume subs are through automod anyway.
Can you expand on how not continuing to distribute materials with racial representations from a time when skin color determined humanity / slavery is a poor decision?

I do not like to see what I am seeing in this HN thread. I think that not propagating offensive, dehumanizing views publicly seems perfectly wise.
Meh, the author is making it sound like Proton will deter native linux ports. Reality is there would never be native Linux ports and you should be thrilled Proton/WINE/whatever gives you any options at all. The market isn't there - I see Valve linux efforts as a hedge against Windows screwing them over.
Most code highlighters do. They’re normally close enough to accurate for highlighting purposes (though they will commonly have some uncommon constructs that they get wrong), but they tend to fall apart when you try to use that for much more; for example, indentation when you use regular expressions to parse your HTML tends to start falling apart if you take what XML users might consider “shortcuts” (such as omitting optional end tags).
Evil, maybe not explicitly... but over-emphasizing asian-ness in order to portray them as a one-dimensional "other" is not a culturally sensitive way to handle it. I don't even think there's anything wrong with them being asian, it's the caricature aspect of it where it emphasizes race above all else.

Those woodcuts you are referring to have a much different context. There's a big difference between a white man caracituring based on race and an asian culture using this depiction on their own terms.
You are always framing your statements and questions, whether you are aware of it or not. If you dont understand what you are doing, you probably are framing things incorrectly / from wrong perspective.

An example of poor framing: "do you feel you have the right to tell private company whay to do"

Reframing the same question can expose serious logical flaws and assumptions, and every critical thinker worth his salt should be aware of it and able to examine an issue from different viewpoints
> What kind of HTML parser? A SGML one or a HTML5 one?

I intended the latter. In fact I'm a bit surprised that I have ever been asked for this, I thought "HTML" nowadays exclusively refers to HTML5...
> Companies were taken for a ride with the idea that they could "outsource" the management and implementation of their software development through their tools.

That was never the purpose. Never. I'm sorry you had a bad experience and I apologise for our role in it. But Pivotal was the real thing.
"making the next generation toxic against fellow citizens." - Dr Seuss probably
In the early 80s, my mom read in newspapers that computers were going to be the future. So she spent much of our meager savings on what was then a very expensive Apple IIe. Because she wanted opportunity for her children that she never had.

That was quite a bet.

Thanks Mom.
I don't think anybody's sanctioning the use of driver assist features on small twisty roads the snow yet, are they? If so please share what you were driving - that would be interesting even if it didn't work well at the time. Most of these things, AFAIK, are in the LKAS, ACC, LDW range and meant for highways and there are mutterings about that in the manual. I sometimes use ACC and/or LKAS on country roads but only with very low expectations.

Teslas at least get better over time. If it got confused over a fork in the road, there's a decent chance that after a near-future firmware update that same car will no longer be confused. A few folks have acknowledged that they're now smart enough to slow down for curves (even sometimes a bit generously), and they are among the few that work pretty well off-highway (most of the time).
Then you are using Scrum to obfuscate a core communications problem in your company.

No, they're using scrum to guarantee a minimum level of effective communication. Business people don't have to be "clueless" to be constantly shifting priorities: they are reacting to the day-to-day business realities of client requests and biz dev opportunities. They're acting professionally, and in good faith. But if the dev team constantly reacted to those shifting priorities, the constant context shifting would kill their productivity and morale. Scrum provides a minimal set of tools and practices to ensure stability for the dev team, so they aren't constantly in reaction mode and have space to think about the product and be proactive.

I'm constantly amazed by people who talk about the "burdens" of scrum, like it's a lot of work that wouldn't otherwise happen. Really? Let's look at all that "extra" work:

- talking to your teammates daily to share progress, but more importantly raise red flags if there are impediments

- demo-ing your work periodically to verify that the stuff the team says is done actually meets expectations

- periodically taking some time to design the software, maybe refactor stuff that isn't correctly modeled, and planning your work

And that's pretty much it. Do people really work in places where they don't do any of that stuff? They just wing it, test everything at the end, and hope for the best?
EBF 483: Introduction to Electricity Markets
I see your point, but the confounding factor for me is that the government granted a monopoly on these books through copyright. That's an artificial construct designed to promote science and the useful arts, but in this situation it's being used to suppress art. In this case, I would advocate for terminating the copyright and letting it be distributed by whoever is willing to.
> To me, this is just like a mature author that wants to stop the sale of an embarrassing early book because it was poorly written.

Dr Seuss passed away in 1991, about 30 years ago, so he isn’t capable of being embarrassed any more.
Despite HN regulations I am aware that you are arguing in bad faith and don’t care at all about the facts of the case. But I think it’s important to get the facts out there for other people.

Once again: eBay’s policy is not to ban harmful ideas generally or anything that might be morally icky. They have a specific policy against racist items, in any form. That includes the blatant racism in some of Dr. Suess’s books. The policy is reasonable and not that complicated. If you want to buy something racist, there are other websites.

eBay is not trying to police everything, they just don’t want racist stuff on their website. That is their perogative as a business and is hardly a meaningful threat to free speech even considering eBay’s market share.

Part of the reason this preposterous “debate” keeps raging is that people keep inappropriately elevating the issues to abstractions, since the specifics of the case are really not controversial:

- Just as YouTube and Twitch do not allow pornography, eBay does not allow racism. That does not mean that porn and racism are banned under the 1st Amendment. Likewise there’s plenty of stuff on YouTube that’s more immoral than any legal pornography, but YouTube never claimed to ban everything bad. They just don’t want to be associated with porn. Likewise, eBay doesn’t want to be associated with racism.

- Some of Dr. Seuss’s children’s books have bigoted depictions of nonwhites, including cartoons black people that resemble “darky iconography,” which anyone in good faith would agree are deeply racist.

- Since eBay doesn’t allow racist items (and had good reason to be concerned about racists rushing to buy discontinued Dr. Seuss books), it banned the items from its store.

Nobody seriously thinks that YouTube is censoring the porn industry. It is true is that the “buy racist crap to own the libs” industry is much smaller than porn and probably can’t easily survive without eBay’s help. I fail to see how that’s eBay’s problem.
There are plenty of old-money Catholics (e.g. Kennedys), old-money non-U.K. protestants, old-money Jews, etc. I suppose the WASP old-money stereotype was accurate because it was the biggest chunk once upon a time, but not for a very very long time.
Reddit is a catastrophe of anti-US and anti-capitalist propaganda.

The propagandists are:

-Russians, trying to weaken the UK/EU politically

-Chinese, trying to weaken the US financially

-Extreme-leftists, trying to destroy the capitalist framework of western society

Clearly these 3 groups despise each other, but they all have a common goal. Therefore the propaganda is EVERYWHERE and has infected almost every corner of Reddit.

Every day the front page is filled with clownishly fake and divisive stories. Reddit does NOTHING to stop this.

I say this because, once they are a public company, they may find the tolerance for such propaganda is VERY different to how it is today.

EDIT:

I would also say that Reddit as a moral or ethical company is amongst the worst corporations that the US has ever seen.

By making money from divisive fake propaganda, they are up there with Enron, tobacco companies in the 1960s, those who sold Thalidomide is the 1950s, Cambridge Analytica etc etc.

History will be brutally harsh on this company, and those who worked there and enabled it.

I wish them luck finding a financial officer who is willing to ignore all their problems.
This is true, the article is essentially 'cool new battery - for satellites'.
I had similar issues with an older ubuntu install, and surprisingly well working system with manjaro. Guess something about ubuntus driver mess or so.
If this is your metric for how the world is doing, then it's fine.

Of course we know it isn't, but this right here is absolutely not a core issue with it.
It's 4 lines of code to implement it. So even if it is not available on a platform (glibc mmmh because of Dreppers stubborness), it's no problem.

size_t strlcpy(char *dst, const char *src, size_t dstsize)
{
size_t len = strlen(src);
if(dstsize)
*((char*)mempcpy(dst, src, min(len, dstsize-1))) = 0;
return len;
}
Phineas Gage, the “American Crowbar Case”
I'm thinking about making some kind of "Cancel Cancel Culture" browser extension that would automatically block sites that are known to engage in this kind of totalitarian behavior. I would make it open source and try to raise money with donations. It's not exactly the ideal solution, but I see no way to stop this madness unless we "fight fire with fire" so to speak.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Comprehensive lack of education? People received an education for ~12 years.

In most parts of the world, I would say _caveat emptor_ and the agency would go out of business immediately, but the Brits have a mandatory tax, called the 'TV License' to pay for this bullshit.

Would they?

This is the first time I heard of this phenomena, so I wouldn't know.
I don't want to be "that guy" but everything you're describing above is not a symptom of Scrum per se but of a toxic working culture. Scrum does not suggest micromanagement or assigning tasks, the goal is for the team to be given a goal and work out what is needed to be done to achieve it. The team works together, no passing back and forth.

As for the PO being a "they" that's something that needs to be addressed. I'm not going to assume ill intent on your part, so let's assume this is again a symptom of a poorly performing team rather than you (or the PO) being unreasonable. But also bear in mind that the PO going off doing "stuff" is generally supposed to be all those things that get in the way of development, e.g. talking to stakeholders & customers, addressing prioritisation problems and trying to prevent the team being overwhelmed with too many goals at the same time.

I'm definitely not saying that micromanagement doesn't happen but I'm saying that you could take your new company's approach (no processes, just let the devs do anything) to the old company and you would have many more problems. It all, as ever, boils down to working culture and practices, and a company that is agile in name only. You can't fix that by splitting things into 2 week chunks and making people talk to each other once a day.
The voltage changes over the discharge cycle so watts are still the preferred unit.
I tried Zola and liked the speed and simplicity. However support for its templating language is scarce and I'm not super keen on writing extensions in Rust.

I have also looked at Hugo, which is determined to uphold evil and suffering by using Go's horrible templating minilanguage; Nanoc, which is cool but at times inscrutable and perhaps a little too obscure; now I'm playing with Jekyll. In short I am doing everything except actually writing.

If you believe in liberty as a principle don't you have to support ebay's decision to decide whether or not they want to sell a particular book?

I don't understand their decision here, but so what? It's their store, why should you or I tell or anyone else them what to sell?

Woke crazies try to impose their ideology on others by complaining and shaming on the Internet. I think you're doing the same thing here. The difference are the specifics of the ideology. If you support liberty only for things you agree with, you don't support liberty.

I get worried when people promote the idea that compelling others speech is pro free speech. It's the modern newspeak.
This is the problem I have with most discussions of a practical Alcubierre style warp drive. They generally don't address the causality violations that are inherent in ANY form of FTL travel. But if it could be useful as an efficient sub-luminal drive, that would be cool and worth pursuing.
Would be interested to see the numbers. Assuming no one has ever seen these?
Doesn't ML work fine with fixed point numbers? I don't think there is a particular use case for very large or very small numbers.
Hi! First, your last sentence made us really happy - thanks for the kind words.

As for your points:
1. Definitely. We are trying to get to feature parity ASAP with traditional methods so that our AI modules can really shine. We're building out a library right now so that scientists can put together their own pipelines.

2. We're keeping everything open at this point, and definitely see the possibility that other domains will need structured image analysis like the kind that we are building.

3. Interesting - might be a better way to phrase what we are working on.

Thanks! If you're interested in chatting, would love to get in touch. Reach out at michael at biodock dot ai.

It may be the case that the Git model is good enough for the way a lot of people want to collaborate, if combined with a nice UI.

Maybe "save" tries to commit, and pulls up a diff interface if there is a conflict? UI indications of other people's commits pending, and maybe merge those with current state of the document if there is no conflict?

There are a lot of edge cases to consider. But I feel like there might be a way to design UX for a Git workflow that makes it comfortable and intuitive to Muggles.

So I would disagree with your claim about marketshare being the reason for its helplessness to create a superior developer-laptop experience.

Cluelessness? sure. But not helplessness. If it wants the developer market (versus the gamer), then it better start acting like a developer tools company...which includes cosying up to Google/Facebook/AWS/Microsoft and throwing money on ROCm. Education is one of them - https://developer.nvidia.com/educators/existing-courses ... and giving developers a generally superior development experience on the maximum number of machines is another.

I don't have a remarkable 1 or 2, but I did some digging when considering buying one before, and I'd call it locked down because the primary UI and software stack were very locked off. Yes, you can get an SSH connection to it, but past that point 3rd party development feels more like jailbreaking an iphone, just with the jailbreak freely provided.

It's clear the developer intends for the device to be heavily restricted by default in an attempt to mimic a notebook as closely as possible. You are given a free escape hatch, but that's it.
I use Python a lot professionally these days, after having been a C#/Java developer for a while (and some experience with C and Free Pascal). I absolutely love the language.

I always feel a little iffy when people talk about Python like it's a language ideally suited to beginners.

Dynamic typing puts so much power in your hands to create expressive structures. But it requires discipline to use properly. It's a great trade off for me but I don't think it would be for beginners.

I think this is all there likely is to it. Add on that it is suspected that viruses can trigger autoimmune diseases, and that explains potentially even more long haulers. Plus increased stress/anxiety on some due to the lockdown could cause physical symptoms.

I do suppose some research is warranted though. It seems different viruses seem to cause different types of autoimmune responses, and it would be interesting to see what COVID can cause. Plus more research needs to be done on the link between viruses and autoimmune diseases in general.
