I've had great success with `Either` in Typescript. For each layer in the application I created ADTs representing the possible errors and used them in `Either`s. Each layer maps the lower layer errors to it's own.
To a certain degree yes - it might depend on how well you really understand something. I also feel like this is a unique aspect of humans - to be able to anticipate / simulate cause and effect.

I find with certain sports once you get the hang of it you do this. For me with aggressive inline skating I might imagine a lineup of tricks, getting the feeling for it before attempting the tricks. For boxing you can start to imagine an opponents punches and how you might slip or weave them followed by your own punches etc. For the folks talking about aphantasia, I find it difficult to hold a vivid image in my mind, so for me personally I don't so much see it, it's more like having the feeling for it or simulation via abstraction.

As a kid I also would imagine that I could levitate. I would wonder if perhaps the reason people couldn't do some things like levitation is that they didn't try hard enough. If I lay still I would actually feel like I was lifting off the bed.
So we should accept any numbers thrown out as long as the person is sufficiently bereaved? I don't even think their numbers are wrong but that's a silly concept. I am sorry for their, and everyone's, losses, but that doesn't give a liscense to claim anything unchallenged.
No. The transfer is inefficient because the vast majority of the transmitted power is dissipated in the environment as heat.

The transmitter cannot tell if switch the receiver on and off.
Google Fi has a setting where you can have all unknown incoming calls screened by default. I wonder if that can be mandated across all telecoms.
Can you please read that graph again and tell me where you didn't have clarity?

Can blockchain exist without store of value?

Put another way: Has any project proven that there is sufficient incentive for miners or stakers to secure a blockchain without significant value stored?
I repeated "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" blindly for years without really thinking about it much. I thought it was clever. But now I've come to realize I don't agree with it at all and I actually think it does a lot of harm. Bad people will do bad things and just make you think they are stupid instead of actively perpetrating evil acts.

I think there is a lot of real harm done in this world that is done on purpose, i.e., actions that are meant to hurt people, and serve no other purpose - and these actions are dismissed by the 'enlightened' as mere stupidity, not worthy of serious discussion. Meanwhile, evildoers entrench and continue doing evil, under the guise of stupidity.

I have personally dismissed many things as merely 'stupid' when it has later turned out to be an actual evil plot with the intent to harm. This has happened a lot recently, actually.

I no longer support Hanlon's razor as anything useful and now often regard it as a red flag.

I don't have a comment on this current article as it pertains to hanlon's razor, however. I'll sit this one out.
1) RE: what could go wrong with showing suspected CSAM to users.

You are not describing something that doesn't happen in real life. Jury pools are introduced to a summary of the case to precisely ask jurors to recuse themselves if the content of said case is too X. Ejury adjudication would make this incredibly simple via flagging system. "X user has stated this is animal cruelty, and the algo concurrs". So you know what you are dealing with before anyone hits play.

2) RE: No one wants the work. Real-life Jury pools consistently have 100+ candidates for a final 12. E-juries are much better because they can actually scale and can cycle much faster. The world has 7B people. With the right incentives, you can find 10 or so people to take a case on.

Plus, you are forgetting that there are also real penalties for losing a case that can act to fend off the undesirables. For example, you could make it so that losing a case means the platform discloses your IP. Makes all your private postings/messages public. Open up the logs of use. Take your pick. There's a million ways to punish degenerates which now do not happen because algos decide and they have such a high false positive rate, to punish would be doubling down on a failed strategy.

3) RE: No agreement except for gross abuse. I have to disagree. 98%+ of people would be in agreement that death, CSAM, animal cruelty etc are offenses that should be dealt with. You already have consensus there. Anything else is in the spectrum of spam / hate / etc. Yet, if it is not beyond reasonable doubt, then its probably not gross.

4) Growth hacking: You seem to forget there are penalties for false accusations in real life. This is no different. If your friend wants to lose access to his own account, he can go right ahead and report a video for the 10 extra views....

There is a lot of evidence that the death toll in India is an order of magnitude higher:

From this very article:
"He said officially 196 people had died from the virus in Kanpur between 16 April and 5 May, but the data from seven crematoriums showed nearly 8,000 cremations."

Here is another analysis from Gujarat:
https://mobile.twitter.com/deepakpatel_91/status/13930705967...

The study that you have linked to above has primarily focused on western countries, where the process of reporting and recording of deaths is much better than in India.
Could you elaborate? Correlation doesn't mean causation.
Things are pretty bad. I was talking to a colleague of mine who lost his Dad to COVID in Delhi and he said the wait time at the crematorium was super long. He found one guy was who in queue with bodies of both his parents for almost 18 hours. Given the situation, relatives are reluctant or unable to help so this guy just sat with the bodies all alone.

"will"? There are already tons of feed reader options out there.
I am surprised with how many people in this thread are equating mountain climbing with techbro culture. Really? How are those related? The fact that some techbros climb some mountains for fun?

How about the millions of people in rural counties and developing countries without access to vehicles who rely on walking across difficult terrain to make deliveries / get to work / get to school / visit family? Are they also techbros? My grandfather was an electrician in Albania and he would regularly walk dozens of miles on foot including through mountain ranges in order to get between jobs. Granted, this was dozens of years ago, but there's no reason to believe there isn't someone doing the same thing today.

If anything your own upper middle class bias is showing here, because you assume that everyone who navigates terrain is doing so for fun and not because they don't have other options.

With due respect, our entire country is experiencing fear, uncertainty and certainly despair. Giving voice to it is not unreasonable.
From what I’ve seen so far, in reality people tend to overuse the `try!` macros, which leads to the same old bubbling exceptions semantic, but more verbose, less performant, and lacking stack traces.
It's used everywhere. Just because Google killed their RSS reader at a time - it didn't die. I use it for pretty much all my news, updates from sites. If a site doesn't provide feed, I won't bother visiting it and checking for updates. And I host it myself with miniflux + postgresql.
I think all the Riot employees on this thread are down voting us, sorry
I think their analysis is also using the total pronounced deaths to Covid deaths and studying the delta from previous years, the same as the tweet you linked.

The figures seem higher in the tweet, I am guessing we will have more clarity on this once the situation settles down a bit and more data can be aggregated.
Everything regarding COVID is political which is absurd. I'm not indian or have any indian family but I am a Doctor and most of my lines of data come from the medical community reporting back

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Administration_for_Scien...

"State Administration for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense" is a civilian ministry within the State Council of the People's Republic of China and is a subordinate agency of the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the superseding agency of the Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense (COSTIND).

You might as well think Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is in charge of civilian and military application of relevant tech in manufacturing and information tech. Just like DoE also manages nuclear weapons.

The DOE/NNSA has federal responsibility for the design, testing and production of all nuclear weapons. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_En...

I am unhappy about the parent, is that people are commenting things without sensible realization of their own limitations. I frequent here, is because of people are far more sensible about their limitations on almost all topics.

But that sensibility is non-surprisingly low in China-related topics.
For quite some time I've been sharing my beliefs that RSS is having some kind of a renaissance. I've been planning to build a feed/RSS/content reader for quite some time and even started coding in the beginning of this week.

Google's "revival" of RSS is reassuring that my beliefs/observations might not be too wrong.
I wonder when will tech companies will wise up and put some serious money towards lobbying for more housing for their employees.

Probably never because management don't care, highly-compensated workers will find a way, and many are moving to at least hybrid-remote anyway. But imagine what if big SF corporate money finally got sick of their headquarters being surrounded by homeless suffering and public sanitation problems and put some money towards systematically fixing it.
Except that error returns such as Either have their own problems. What is the main complaint about checked exceptions in Java? Yes, handle or _declare_ them in method signatures: adding a checked exception to a previously non-throwing method breaks all callers. What happens when a previously non-erroring function must be changed to be able to report some error? Yes, the same: change the signature to return Either and fix all callers.

And then what about conditions like division by zero, or arithmetic overflow? Are arithmetic _operators_ supposed to return Either/Option instead? Or just crash the program? Which may be a long-running server and only one request of many got corrupt?

While not very ergonomic, I still prefer exceptions way more than return values. Ergonomics could be fixed by tooling; hopefully that will improve if developers start to demand it.

Finally, even functional languages such as SML and Ocaml have exceptions where they are also even recommended for control flow such as breaking out of deep recursion.
Which is why my post had two parts.
If you were trying for real bias in your cropping algorithm, I would suspect training it on what the average, unconsciously-biased user thinks is the best crop nearly guarantees it.
> Search quality at Google has been decaying over the past decade.

This one line is echoed again and again on HN and yet in my experience all its competitors still pale in comparison. I hate Google now as much as the next HNer for its evil shenanigans but their search is still superior and if a browser comes with a default like Bing or Ddg (like ff on linux mint) the first I do is change it back to Google since the results are truly aweful otherwise.
It's correct but outdated: according to https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/poll.2.html#VERSIONS "The poll() system call was introduced in Linux 2.1.23. On older kernels that lack this system call, the glibc poll() wrapper function provides emulation using select(2)."

So as long as you use a Linux kernel made this century, you will be fine.
I'll give you one: Google image search is so insanely hobbled by the copyright squad (and possibly right to be forgotten, etc) that it's essentially worthless now. Reverse image search used to be a valuable tool. Now it just spits out generic garbage, even for images that clearly have a wide presence on the net. These days if I need to try to hunt for something, I just pull up Yandex and get the results Google used to give five or ten years ago (better even, since there's a bunch of neat added features like object recognition and automatic OCR).
It's weird. I can construct objects and run physics experiments in my head (not on Tesla's level), and it's a clear tactile sense to me, textures included. I can also play familiar tunes (in my youth this included symphonies, simplified into sections and solos) and mix flavors in my head. But the weirdest part is, I can hardly see a thing in there.
As others mentioned, the POSIX alternative is poll() (and ppoll() as the alternative to pselect() ).

If you want both portability and performance (as in, O(1) instead of O(N) as poll() and select() ), there's no portable standard. In that case you're better of with a wrapper library like libuv or livev.
> The reason it's not generally done is because the select API has been effectively replaced with better things like kqueue and epoll and poll and ppoll. If you actually want to do something like select and you expect to have a lot of FDs, using something newer than select is a better choice.

The performance difference between select() and poll() isn't measurable for small sets of descriptors, and for epoll and friends, fixed setup costs are substantially higher. It's therefore not correct to suggest select() has been replaced with better interfaces, in the case of poll() it is a more complex interface and in the case of epoll (or io_uring or ..) it is a much more expensive interface.
If repeated activity is in J&K, with level of bias and with abundance of caution, author can also consider reporting it to cops.

Phone companies at least in the US are taking initiatives to screen spam callers, but there is only so much you can do when there are untrusted actors on the network. Truly ending robocalls would require a global treaty encompassing both hemispheres, and probably the creation of some new UN agency responsible for registering network endpoints (like ICANN). As it stands you can just move to another country that lets you hook up to their infrastructure if you are ever kicked out of your current base of operations. Given that there are still countries where you can e.g. host content that is illegal in the US or other countries, it seems unlikely such a treaty would ever make it into international law.
1) Tiktok - People actually curate this content already. The only difference is they are staff, and being paid. So maybetake the same compensation, and open it up at scale, so its an improved version of what is already happening for curation. Again, there are people in India paid to do this today. Its not like its not happening you just need to randomize it and spread out responsibility across a wider body.

2) This already happens in real life. I am sure there are mothers serving in jury pools about the murder of a toddler by a parent. The difference is that there are a number of things one could do to manage user preferences in such cases. Also, content would not be as pervasive as implied if penalties are effective at making borderline actors self-moderate, and permanently removing bad actors with real consequences (IP banning, public logs, etc).
Of course not. But what does it add to the conversation in what is manifestly an out of control situation with terrible data all round. How do you respond to that when there are no good authorative sources, except Doctors reports, oxygen stockpiling, and lack of cremation space to the point that trees in parks are being cut down to burn bodies?
> With due respect, our entire country is experiencing fear, uncertainty and certainly despair. Giving voice to it is not unreasonable.

I totally respect and understand that. It is just that hyperbolic figures just lead to flame wars and I would rather not have it here. That's why I asked them to back it up with statistical analysis they are relying on.

Do you have any other source other than the blog you linked? I remember from Wikipedia source discussions, that the site is not a good source for news reporting, so I am going to skip opening their article.
What evidence is there that masks provide no additional protection for vaccinated people?

"It is not too much to expect that our children will enjoy in their homes electrical energy too cheap to meter, will know of great periodic regional famines in the world only as matters of history, will travel effortlessly over the seas and under them and through the air with a minimum of danger and at great speeds, and will experience a lifespan far longer than ours, as disease yields and man comes to understand what causes him to age." - Lewis Strauss, chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission 1954

I think saying these fringe "political" groups are "solidly left" or "solidly right" really feeds into the hate and divisiveness they are designed to create. They're all either misled and disinformed or misleading and disinforming. They have no place in politics and are largely designed to generate that "us vs them" mentality. These groups are the fringest of the fringe and are far from "solid"

What relevance does that have to prop 47. Ok, so we repeal prop 47 and we pick up a guy for shoplifting $600 worth of merchandise. Yesterday it was a misdemeanor, but in this hypothetical it's a felony today. Yesterday the jails were too full to prioritize holding that guy, and that's still true today because reclassifying crimes doesn't reduce our massive prison population or build new prisons. The consequences are the same. The only difference is that now the guy might have to start telling prospective employers that he's a convicted felon, which doesn't exactly bode well for his ability to pick up an honest job.

> * Any way that reference external resource like css url() can be used as beacon. It should be blockable by client like image, but thinking how it affect is difficult if all tags are allowed.

You can already use url() to load background images - seems like this is a solved vector.

> * iframe content inside message is editable after message sent.

Does this really increase the attack surface area, since you can't execute javascript from the iframe?

* Java Applet/ActiveX is almost dead, but still available. Should it be allowed on email? (for web mail on IE11/Trident)

No, because that's not in the HTML/CSS spec and modern browsers don't support it.

* Sanitizing JavaScript from HTML by blacklisting isn't simple operation. Possibly attack vector. (for web mail)

Seems like a solved problem considering there's currently no way to execute arbitrary javascript in webmail.
For your second part: by not listening to the mob but not banning them either.
Negative gravity is a confusing term because the problem wasn’t one of gravity, or even force, but rather of acceleration and inertia.

Negative gravity sounds confusing because the author is using the wrong word–what’s being described here is negative gravity equivalent (g-force). The aircraft is experiencing plenty of gravity, just in a different direction than it normally would. The problem is very much one of force.

Negative gravity is related to the concept of negative mass, which is a proposed form of exotic matter.
Great!

Brave on iOS does inject JS into YouTube and other sites. It uses exactly the same `+js(...)` injections as Brave on desktop and Android, as well as uBlock Origin, which is really helpful.

Unfortunately, JS can't solve everything... the WKWebView restrictions are definitely a huge frustration. Brave for Android and desktop both build from a single codebase, but everything has to be reimplemented to work on iOS too.
