> If there was a meme name for an angry woman would you have an issue if it was a predominantly black woman name?

This is a pretty ridiculous way of talking about this. Let's be concrete about it: if the name was "Shaniqua", we'd all know that it was intended to be insulting toward Black women, right? Are you implying I'd be okay with that one? I'm not.

"Karen" has evolved into being an anti-white slur, and I'm not okay with either option, nor any other slur of this sort. It degrades the conversation and makes it impossible to discuss actual problems that have highly predictable demographic correlations.
I think that's a little misleading though, since virtually all north western Europeans (Netherlands, Scandinavia, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium etc.) that I've met who are under 35 or so speak English at very close to a native level. You can't say that about Bulgarian.
Agreed, and the same argument can be applied _against_ lockdowns (meaning measures such as mandatory stay-at-home orders that go beyond usual NPIs). I think it is slowly emerging that hard lockdowns have done more harm than good. There is no zero risk in life.

Exactly. You care if people die on your lawn. So you give out medication, do scans, etc. so that if people die they do it on someone else's lawn. It's ass-covering all the way down.
I believe AZ have said they will not profit off the vaccine until the pandemic ends. The interesting thing is that they may get to decide when that happens.[1]

Or that they're just having some fun with silly names. Not everything that deviates from typical professional behavior need necessarily be framed as some kind of psychotic break from reality.

It's just trolling. Musk knows people will write about it (positive, negative, whatever).
Eric Schmidt wrote lex. He was an engineering executive at Sun. His background is absolutely as a software engineer.

People seem to be missing the point of the article. It's all about ways of thinking. It isn't literally saying that the more algorithms you memorise the better at CEO-ing you become. That's way too literal. It's saying things like, "if you've written and debugged software a bunch of times, you learn about iteration and predicting/root causing failures, which helps you be a better CEO".

> as most variables should never be reassigned.

Why not? Reassigning globals can lead to bugs, sure. But when does reassigning a local lead to bugs?

> By defaulting to const unless reassignment is necessary, you're essentially putting documentation into the actual code

No, by defaulting to const, you're removing documentation. "Does this variable need to be kept safe from reassignment? Is it ever used again after this point in the code? Or is the developer just blindly using const for no reason?" Gotta read the code to figure it out because now const is just meaningless noise.
The category error exists whether or not the questions are right or wrong, it is irrelevant to my point.

Let me put it this way. Part of philosophy is the Milesian school of thought. The idea that everything is made of water. A completely ludicrous idea that I would argue makes the practitioner ask the wrong questions as we now know things are made of complex particles.

Does this have anything to do with the category error I’m describing? No. Science and the Milesian school of thought simply don’t belong together regardless of what right or wrong questions your favorite field makes you ask.
What you say makes complete sense, I'd argue the incentives are different for government agencies, however.
I mean it makes sense if they launch an ad service for public channels. They're already filled with ads and you can't even distinguish ads from real posts. Giving these creators and advertisers a chance to have their ads placed there will be very profitable for Telegram while not raising privacy issues (the channels are a great way to distribute ads since, if you follow a Linux channel you'll likely be interested in seeing System76 ads, right?).
Uploading files without auth layer - is asking for trouble IMHO. Change without audit trail will encourage wrong doers. But I get the idea, this is an example for a file upload in a simple way using Curl or other tools.
The eureka was giving it a name in order to articulate its importance in tactical and strategic thinking. That's really it. Other people, throughout history, have operated in the same fashion but either not described what they did or described it in different terms.
I'm sure I've been told by someone who had been trained as an officer in the British army that they were very much trained to have a "Bias for Action" - i.e. the worst thing you could in most situations would be to get caught in their version of "analysis paralysis". Of course, he told me this with impeccable self deprecating humour (presumably also part of their training) - so difficult to tell how serious he was being.
The foundational weakness in what you're saying is that politicians tend to make decisions based on sentiment, rather than basing their actions on data.

I'm not saying the conclusion is incorrect, but it's driven by fear, uncertainty, and doubt -- not quite the same as a clear evidentiary basis.

That could be acceptable if the logic goes that AZN bears the burden of proving that every potential adverse side effect is extremely rare. However, by that logic the vaccinations will be paused several times and more people will suffer due to COVID.
They might act unethically, but legally it's not their responsibility. They may not have the means to figure out whether FB is obeying the laws (after all, this is what the court is trying to figure out). They also may or may not have another viable choice.

They can indeed expect facebook to act legally.
Yeah, I noticed that too: https://github.com/benhoyt/countwords/blob/9d81d13711e56c250...

The constraints do say that it is okay to assume lines are reasonable length. But yes, if you were making GNU wordfreq, that might not be something you want to assume. But at that point, it just depends on what you want your failure mode to be I suppose. greps for example will happily just gobble up as much memory as they can to fit a line into memory. :-)
But they did not do everything they can. They did not expedite AZ vaccine approval, they are messing up the rollout, they tried to negotiate prices instead of securing vaccines at all costs. They made a whole theatre about AZ deliveries and almost created an international crisis around Ireland..but no, no political aspect to it, none at all..

I don't think they are trying to get revenge. They are trying to cover for their own failings. By any reasonable means, the vaccine rollout in continental Europe in relation to the wealth and logistics available compared to US/UK is a complete failure.
No, you're stuck at some kind of 2008 view on the topic.

The conclusion here is actually "these things are not caused by racism, because you can completely remove white people from the equation and yet the situation only ever gets worse".

Social policies combined with demographic realities are the proximate causes here. Continuing to paper over the latter with the former just entrenches the issue generationally.
I really like Telegram, if only I could convince anyone to actually use it.
at the moment I plan on continuing using firefox so I'm not leaving but you can't keep using a browser with a worse experience because of some futile moral cause. Firefox has to earn their place and be a browser people to use. I think firefox going after the general public makes sense but when it comes at an expense to generally more advanced users they've probably gone a step too far though to be fair they don't have nearly as many devs as other browsers like chrome and edge.
Much better odds than covid anyway.
That being said, if you've had multiple past events that made people quite seriously question whether or not you were having a psychotic break from reality, perhaps it would be best to avoid doing things that would raise that question (in SEC filings of all places).
This was about removing the feature (which IIRC wasn't completed yet) that would allow you to "install" a PWA. I'm as disappointed as you that they removed it, but calling it "they removed PWAs" is just FUD.

Energy and forest burning are different issues. Brazil is perfectly capable of becoming a properous country without destroying its rainforests.

If it's practicality you care about, the USA is perfectly capable of unilaterally forcing Brazil to stop destroying rainforests via threat of sanctions or blockades.

Also, just like how rape isn't fair to Sally, nor is rain forest burning fair to the year 2100 Brazilians.

Might be outdated, since he talks about clotting generally but the agency in charge of halting the vaccinations mentions a specific rare complication today [1]:

> accumulation of a special form of very rare cerebral vein thrombosis (sinus vein thrombosis) in connection with a deficiency of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia) and bleeding in temporal proximity to vaccinations with the COVID-19 vaccine AstraZeneca.

Perhaps really just a bad batch somehow if this particular complication wasn't observed in the UK.

Sure does, but my beautiful-but-old amplifier does not have HDMI. I use SPDIF a lot, but haven't found a good cheap USB-to-SPDIF sound card yet. Plenty of pricier ones, but the point here is to find some use for something I already cheaped out on in the first place.
I use Firefox Beta on android. One can change about:config options to improve pivacy. There is something called 'encrypted client hello', which was discussed here on HN, which lets me access many blocked sites in my country.

I use the about:config options in this guide [1] plus enable encrypted DNS and encrypted client hello in about:config (on FF Beta android).

A few days ago, there was an HN page showcasing a cool webpage which can read the position angles of your phone (whether it's flat, inclined etc in detail). That page works well on regular FF Android. But on the FF Beta with the config options enabled as above prevents the page from reading the angles. I also have telemetry upload disabled on FF Beta, but maybe a bit something is still uploaded, idk.

Edit: If one trawls through some recent past threads, one can see that FF cares about privacy. They have official extensions to isolate sites (or cookies?) to prevent tracking, on desktop. (Facebook Container and Firefox Multi-Account container). They are working on something like per site isolation by default (Project Fission [2]). Yeah Chrome has it but then they try to log you into the whole browser when you just wanna log in to gmail. And they are not doing something scammy plus impactful like AMP, FLoC [3] like Google. These AMP links are everywhere, many times it looks like it's the official site link.

All I want from Firefox is the ability to autohide the address bar. The main reason I switched to Firefox is because you can write custom CSS to hide it. 99% of the time the address bar is a waste of space, and on a 13 inch screen with a tiling window manager it is actually a significant amount of space when I have multiple firefox windows open.

Current compact mode seems somewhat useless since it isn't that big of a change, if they could have compact mode actually hide the address bar and show on hover that would be huge for me. If chrome did that, I would switch.
isn't someone writing a new one doing more research there? even if all the do is copy the past, they are learning what is good, and hopefully what is bad, so that they can do it better then next time...

While Rust is just a tool to help with that development, it does overall lower the cost so that focus can be paid to higher level problems and less paid to memory usage errors.

The ethical issue is that the people dying from COVID and the people who might have an adverse reaction from the vaccination are not the same people.

If mostly old people die from COVID but the adverse reaction of the vaccine is independent of age, then for very young people the risk of an adverse reaction of the vaccination might outweigh the risk of permanent damage from COVID.

That's not quite accurate. Every core has access to the entire L3, including the L3 on an entirely different socket. CPUs communicate through caches, so if a core just plain couldn't talk to another core's cache then cache coherency algorithms wouldn't work. Though a core can access the entire cache, the latency is higher when going off-die. It is really high when going to another socket.

The first generation of Epyc had a complicated hierarchy that made latency quite hard to predict, but the new architecture is simpler. A CPU can talk to a cache in the same package but on a different die with reasonably low latency.

This is a dumb question, I'm sure:

Does the loss function have to be a function of the derivative somehow? Or does being differentiable just allow gradient descent learning to work?
I also use this feature. I suspected I did but I had to go and look at the settings. I took two screenshots in normal and compact density. The difference on my 15.6" laptop is very small. A few vertical pixels of spacing in the tab bar and address bars. I'd rather keep compact mode but I'll hardly notice the difference.

Anyway, this designers' fad of making desktop applications look like mobile apps (I'm intentionally using those two different names) must come to an end. My favorite example is "think if Excel on a computer would have half an inch padding around each cell with possibly no borders". This normal layout thing is only a very small step in that direction but it's still in that direction.

> But again, this wasn’t easy. Especially for us who don’t have the expertise in some vertical to understand its problem enough to build a solution for it.

I am not sure if this is necessarily true. You can spend a weekend studying and understanding a vertical you want to build for.

You can start with questions like "what are some of the pain points this vertical has", come up with ideas, test those ideas and make a determination if your idea is worth pursuing.

Should you pick a niche, yes I think this is necessary. For example, instead of focusing on trying to fix the internet for everyone, focus on solving issues in the UI/UX world for example.

Hope this helps.
Yes. The contents of zero-byte objects are deduplicated. (The metadata, of course, are not.)
I think your instinct to reach for the straightforward solution is good. gRPC has advantages, but it also comes with complexity since you have to bring all the tooling along. And the CPU burden of (de-)serializing JSON is a very different story than when Protobufs were developed in 2001.

I would like a sentiment analysis of the comments posted beside each article link. A kind of temperature reading. So you can guage if the comments are generally positive or negative and use that as a proxy for whether the article is considered valuable enough to click on.

It's not perfect as conversations evolve away from the articles. But it would be useful I think.
> Another argument against the "going dark" claim is that before smartphones and the internet, the only conversations the FBI could monitor was through phonelines and mail. These were known to be easily monitored and I doubt there was much more criminal activity happening through those then than now.

It doesn't really matter that they quantitatively have access to more to them, from the POV of law enforcement though they had access to everything that was available if they wanted it then and they don't now. Law enforcement chafes and pushes against any attempt to limit them because their self image is that of protectors and good guys so what they do has good reason even if people don't want them to, it's a whole self justifying greater good/ends justify the means self justifying loop a lot of place fall into, including tech companies. You see it constantly with unjustified searches, stops and seizures, given a limit, eg the requirement for probable cause for a search, police find any way around it they can to justify the action they already want to take, eg smell of drugs or 'acting suspicious'.

There are definitely crimes that go unsolved because police can't monitor everything 24/7, that irritates a group tasked with 'protecting' society so they push back. We feel the same thing in software engineering to a certain extent, governance, architectural approval, etc all suck to work with but they exist for a reason in big orgs but just because they're useful agencies doesn't mean they suck less when you're held up because the architects take 3 months to approve something and want 20 Powerpoint decks to do it.
There's no guidance on how to read that.

I suspect it's probably "possible side effects and deaths within 28 days of administering a vaccine", in the same way that the UK records "deaths within 28 days of a positive COVID test". One does not imply the other was the cause. (edit) other commenter points to the official UK docs.

Even with that information, you need to know the non-vaccine incidence of the illnesses in that report to make any meaningful comparison and assessment of the efficacy of the vaccine. Which is what I rely on scientists to do.

From the horse's mouth:

Ann Taylor, Chief Medical Officer, said: “Around 17 million people in the EU and UK have now received our vaccine, and the number of cases of blood clots reported in this group is lower than the hundreds of cases that would be expected among the general population. The nature of the pandemic has led to increased attention in individual cases and we are going beyond the standard practices for safety monitoring of licensed medicines in reporting vaccine events, to ensure public safety.”
