> I think you’re making a common mistake, which is to assume there’s some “natural” algorithm that determines which tweets trend, and that human intervention is “unnatural” and unfair.

That's partly true. I think it's "unfair", or rather disingenuous, only when the company claims there's no manual intervention. I wouldn't really have an issue with a company saying "we're looking to promote this or that speech". I think no one really takes issue that Democrat or Republican conventions don't have speakers from the opposing parties. They are clearly labeled "Democrat", so people expect this going in.

I think the crux of the matter is these platforms pretend being an unbiased space for people to communicate, when they clearly aren't. Or rather, they aren't as open anymore. Once people flocked to them, and they became a common place of exchange, the rules drastically changed.

Ah, what I meant was more, there's some dishes that are vegetarian and good (plenty of soups and small "side-dishes" that are delicious but they're usually not "full-meal" kind). And there's also some very good vegetarian restaurants but they're few and far between.

I don't have much experience with chinese food outside of the regular more westernised versions you mention (which I do like), I tried a more typical chinese (at least that was how it was described to me) restaurant once and indeed the food and menu was different from the normal chinese restaurants I knew.

China is also huge so I imagine it has a lot of variety throughout with completely different takes on it. Vietnam, Thailand and such also have interesting vegetarian dishes.

I like all of them and I also like italian and many others but what I meant is as far as I've tasted and seen in terms of vegetarian food nothing comes really close to the variety in and around India (Nepal, Sri Lanka, etc), probably due to cultural roots based on vegetarian traditions?
And this difference is also in terms of like, what you can get in an end of street corner, almost stall like place, to eat (not even a "restaurant") - some of the best vegetarian meals I've had where in places like this.

I would like to visit china some day and see for myself for sure.
If people are the common resource then customer service will be the career of the future. You may not drive the car, but you could be the voice of the fleet. There will always be a chance to make the lives of those around you better in some way and you can use this to provide for yourself.

But, that aside, why should the productive care whether you do or not? Let's say self-driving cars do put you out of business, but we acknowledge that you didn't really do anything to make yourself employable. Why do you deserve any resources, let alone a comfortable amount, for not doing anything? And deserve, shmerve, why should I be so stupid as to let you take it from me? If I work I'll simply horde a bit of food and then stop working until the UBI stops and you starve, then I'll start producing again. So why not admit this up front and treat you like an excess coyote population? Spay/neuter you, or maybe leave poisoned food(-stamps) around?

Welfare at least is intended to help people become self-actualized and productive, but UBI is designed specifically to remove all incentive to ever help anyone else. UBI is what someone would come up with after reading the CIA manual on sabotage and thinking - how do I apply this to my entire civilization?

I found this incredibly hard to follow because of the "foo/bar/baz" pseudo-variables. I think it's a good goal to try to use realistic symbol names in example code.

That said, it seems like the Java example is actually trying to be a little smarter, rather than just suggesting a mismatched type. It's unfortunate that the end result is a worse list of options.

For what it's worth, the languages I use with JetBrains IDEs (C# and TypeScript, mostly) don't have this problem.
This reads word for word like the plot of an episode of the Simpsons.

Homer the blissfully ignorant brewery worker takes the trip of his life but ends up at the wrong side of the continent from his intended destination where he becomes a local celebrity and gets coersed into all kinds of harmless adventures, like kissing the local seal. As his boss wants capitalize on his fame without giving him a raise, he retaliates by advertising their competitor on national television. He ends up back home, without a job, and with a recurring tax bill for a piece of land he has no intention of ever using. Nonetheless happier than ever.

I love how life is often stranger than fiction.

From the looks of the author’s website, he very carefully time boxes his projects and weighs the expense and revenue generation. This is very different from spending a grand on something with unbounded time costs and no tangible return, like buying a boat.

Did you even read the article? I don’t think so.

He doesn’t claim that goalies should always be on their knees, but rather than it’s common for them to do so, exploring the reasons why.
Over time, as goalie equipment changed, so did the way that goalies covered the net and stopped pucks. The way that a goalie plays today is very different than the way Hasek played, and the way Hasek played is very different than the way Fuhr played and the way Dryden played.

I think the argument is: scale back protective equipment to something that doesn't strangle the game, and goalies must play a different style in order to stay safe. Which they will.

Having said that, I agree, we should also go back to non-composite sticks. The game was no less fun to watch when Mario and Wayne were playing the game with wooden sticks.

If I were black and reading an article like this, I think it would feel more empowering and encouraging if it was written like any other article about a historic person, and just causally mentioned the founder's background. As it is, it doesn't feel empowering at all.

Comparing it to something trivial from my own life, if I read an article about some surfer or skateboarder and he happens to be even older than I am, that makes me feel hopeful about improving my skills. But if the author again and again talks about how hard it is for older surfers and that it's basically a miracle that he even survives then I would feel the opposite.

Yes I know it's not the same but still, it would be interesting to hear from an actual African-American what they feel about this kind of article.

I honestly don't know what hockey Dryden is watching here. The game has gotten faster, and the players smaller over the last decade and a half. Most goals are tip shots, one timers, dekes, or power play goals. I agree that the goalie equipment size is out of whack, especially compared to what came before, but the rest of what he said makes me think he hasn't watched hockey since the 90s.

> But my question is if mathematics itself says quantum particles do not have gravity or is that just a limitation of current understanding.

The maths of QM (Schrodinger equation, standard model) currently say that particles don't have gravity. But, they also imply that nothing has gravity - gravity doesn't exist at all according to the standard model. Obviously this is wrong, so we are searching for a theory of Quantum Gravity.

There are various pieces of math that do have gravity and are consistent with standard QM, but each of them has various other problems, so none is universally accepted, and they vary significantly in how they add gravity to the standard model.
There is no racism against white people in the, what, northern hemisphere. And never was. In that part of the world, racism comes from the white population and is aimed at others.

Calling white racists out definitely isn't racism.
I just solve that terminal issue by using a terminal that has "smart copy". The two I know of that do are pantheon-terminal (from elementaryOS) and kitty. The idea is that Ctrl+C behaves normally (sends SIGINT) unless you have text selected, in which case it will copy the selected text then clear the selection. So if you had something selected, you just hit Ctrl+C twice to send an interrupt if you need to, with the convenience of Ctrl+C working just like you'd expect in every other app.
I think this is why we have "periods" in arts and design.

Someone discovers something, for example, that if you design your UI to resemble real life objects people who are introduced to touch interface for the first time will have easer time understanding it. Then everyone follows without much thinking about the original idea behind that design and eventually you run out of people who are first timers to touch interfaces but everyone keeps doing design for them(probably unknowingly, simply because they think this is what good design is). Then, someone recognises this problem, now discovers that if you get rid of the skeuomorphism that is no longer functional you can actually improve the usability because leather texture is a distraction and eats from the valuable screen estate and you can introduce advanced UI for the touch literate people by embracing that this is a computer and not the physical object that it mimics. Now everyone is in flat design, everything is maximally minimal and people race to put as less visual clues as possible. You end up with UI where you can't tell what's button and what's just text and it's time for a new period in design.

I think it's the same with architecture or any type of industrial design. Someone discovers that you can make something functional for very cheap and the word on the street is that all you need is a few pieces of wood to have a chair. It's not as comfortable as the artisan chairs but it is 10x cheaper, so it's cool. Later people realize that they have enough chairs already but they would like something more comfortable and they might be actually willing to pay a bit more. Someone discovers that you can make significantly more comfortable chairs using this new material called plastic and the costs will be just as low. Welcome to the era of plastic chairs and this will last until people recognise that plastic might not be the greatest material ever.

In some regard, It's the same thing over and over again. "Transistors are the greatest thing!", 30 years later you have "The best way to enjoy music is to go transistorless". Probably because with each transition you lose something and once you reap the benefits of the new thing, you realize that something is missing. Maybe you go full e-book and you realize that you lose the artwork in the books that is possible thanks to high quality print? Maybe not everyone but at least some people do and they look for a solution. If they find a good one, it may define the next era.

Therefore, design can be good or bad depending on the context and can be bad today but iconic if it has become the icon of an era. Owning an iconic item is definitely something notable, it says something about you. Maybe it says that you lived in that era, maybe you appreciate that era as a reference point to help you to appreciate or understand the modern era?
I was once in Sofia, Bulgaria, trying to find the train to Bucharest. We asked not one, not two, but three people to confirm that we were on the correct train. They all confirmed it! ...kind of, correcting the pronunciation each time.

Nope. Apparently there's some very similar sounding place in Bulgaria to my USA pronunciation of Bucharest

I'd love to remember the name of the place.
Sounds like crowdfunding of new features / bugs, repeatedly, in the same software project — instead of crowdfunding a new project just once?

I wonder if there's any SaaS that specializes in this. Like, Kickstarter but for new features, preferably on the company's own sub domain? So as not to distract people with unrelated projects, when they visit the "features crowdfunding" page. And the audience would come from the company's website (but not from the "Kickstarter for features" company's website).

Or I wonder if Gumroad would think this sounded interesting.

How I deciphered a Robert E. Lee letter (2016) [pdf]
My father has been making chairs from 1973 to 2016. I've grown up around the factory and all I can say is that wooden chairs are probably the most difficult piece of furniture to be produced. There is a lot of fiddling around angles and slopes and math. A typical wooden chair is made up of at least 12 different wooden parts to be joined together with tenons, mortises and all that jazz. Calling that apples box a chair is insulting. I am sorry, I know I sound crabbed, but that's just the truth...

Normally, yes, but in the context of an operating system nagging to enable invasive voice recognition features every time a minor update is installed, I think “trickery” is an accurate descriptor. It is dishonest to ignore that I already said no and to put a check mark where I previously removed one, particularly when the request is to enable an always-on microphone. Anyone acting this way in real life would be called out for malice.
> It's a bring your own job and bring your own friends kinda place.

Very accurate. If you didn't go to the local schools, you really won't fit in.

And most locals have 2 (or 3) jobs to pay the rent, so if you're not a bartender or waiter in a crew, you won't meet locals either.

That's really neat, I missed this on the previous runs I think. One of my very first computers was a KIM-1, I bought it from one of the security guards at a bank where I worked (as mail room sorter and mail runner).

Fond memories. The KIM ('keyboard input monitor') was a quirky little machine, with very little RAM but more general purpose IO than just about every computer today which led to a lot of real-world interface projects. I learned a ton from using it.

Thanks for posting this.
it seems to be very convy, tnx. I like to use different servies to save my time. Not so long ago I found service where I can buy a college lab report sample from experts on https://gpalabs.com/buy-lab-report.html . It can help to get a clear understanding of any subject.
That's not a solution. Having different hotkeys in the terminal than in every other application is horrible UX. Like I said elsewhere, I use the "smart copy" feature from kitty, which makes Ctrl+C actually copy when I want, if text is selected (and Ctrl+V works as normal).
Do you feel good when you write such comment? Like "justice served" good or what? I'm genuinely curious.
Only if they're fast. Slow objectives would get by with lenses from e.g. regular eyeglasses arbitrary-aspheric production lines.
It only gets expensive (>1000$) when you need fancy glass elements (or manage to waste a lot of money on inefficient R&D... computers are really good these days, and at least for fixed-focus prime lenses (you want 1:1, right?) the parameter space is fairly small.

I can highly recommend [0] for some reading on how simple optics can be if you can optimize aspherics for a fixed focus. Just to state the obvious: two identical infinity-focused objectives can be placed with the infinity-corrected sides looking straight towards another, for a physically long 1:1 macro "lens".

I wonder if there is a decent topology for a decently-high-NA reflective objective in the 1:1 to 1:10 (object:sensor) magnification range.
And also whether some of those topologies would cope with a (sensor-sized) reflective spatial light modulator (LCoS/DLP would seem most practically relevant) in place of the sensor.

I still get that mouth-watering imagination when thinking about direct digital (maskless) photolithography, as the flexibility is enormous, especially regarding rapid prototyping of highly integrated circuits (350 nm is the limit for single-patterning using aluminium-coated MEMS modulators (aka TI's DLP technology), due to the UV reflectivity drop below 400 nm and thermal limits of the MEMS device).

I am not sure what you opinion is. The poem you quoted is aimed at true, real, historically existing Nazis. So it is less applicable at people with somewhat similar views complaining about being called out. Calling them out and confronting them is exactly what the poem advocates for.

The same goes for your post about tolerance towards intolerance. And then you complain about anti-white racism, which is not a thing.

>As of January 2015, ISIS had reconstituted its regional accounts with strong privacy settings, allowing only a small group of known ISIS supporters to follow the accounts and read their tweets. The content of the tweets—primarily news releases, videos and photos from ISIS’s various provinces—are then disseminated by a number of other smaller accounts using hashtags. After the initial dissemination, the content is more widely distributed, but at significantly reduced levels from early 2014.

I'm sure detonating high explosives on their heads and putting bullets through most of them had nothing to do with it!

> Despite this, the number of new accounts created dropped significantly after the first round of suspensions in September (section 2.5.4), and while we do not have complete data to make a positive assessment, it appears the pace of account creation has lagged behind the pace of suspensions.

Lack of something doesn't prove it's gone. So they realized they couldn't use twitter. Did that change their views? Did it change their minds? Citing a lack of participation in a hostile platform proves nothing except that twitter controls twitter.
