Is there a term for this kind of internet comment section correction? Like "it's an aptronym, not nominative determinism", or "it's an initialism, not an acronym".

(I'm not saying this to be snarky towards you or anything like that, and I personally appreciate seeing such corrections. Genuinely just curious if there's a term for this specific sort of thing, since it's common on HN and reddit.)

Tangentially, the other week I found out that Dodie Smith wrote a sequel to "The Hundred and One Dalmatians." which is quite barking (sorry) mad:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starlight_Barking

It has a Space Dog and a kind of "Dog Rapture" thing going on. I'm guessing Smith fully embraced late 60's in many ways.
Good point. There are also some software solutions (picus security, etc.) that tests your validates whether your environment is exposed due to specific CVEs. It's a good way to prioritize which vulnerabilities that you should tackle first.
Is this going to be like the Swedish feminist snow shovelling where they focused on shovelling snow from the sidewalk instead of the road, in the name of “gender equality”? To no one’s surprise the result was an increase in car accidents, traffic delays and disruptions. The initiative was dropped because it was, simply put, ideological insanity.

This budget sounds to be the same. What even in a “gendered budget”?

[Swedish insanity](https://www.thelocal.se/20161112/stockholm-transport-heads-d...) - Yes, it’s an old article because they stopped this due to how bad the consequences were.
Same here. I had to make sure it wasn't April 1 again.
A great thing to set up for yourself is audio feedback. Hearing yourself back with the levels as they are in the outgoing mix basically eliminates half of the talking-over-each-other problems. It's quite amazing how much it improves communications.

> regular people

You're skipping over the fact that only property owning white men were initially allowed to vote.

That was the group which expected to gain political power from the Declaration and Constitution - that was the target audience.

Defining "regular people" has a fraught history in the USA.
The policing and military functions were, because large permanent standing forces for internal and external security which would inevitably become closed societies with interests divergent from the public were the threat the 2A was to protect against, by providing an alternative that would make them unnecessary.
Now that I think of it, that's also my experience. If I really need a project to do whatever (and can't implement the feature myself), I shut up, let the horrible attitude wash over me and put hours of effort into testing and providing helpful information, and maintainers usually mellow out eventually. If I hadn't done all of that work, the maintainer would have had to do it. Sure, they're much better equipped to do it and can probably do it in a quarter of the time it takes me, but multiplied by fifty tickets... Oof.
> Yet another way in which big players can abuse information asymmetry.

Solution here is to not allow for the asymmetry. So much of society’s ills are caused by incentives to keep information asymmetric, so that market participants cannot make optimal (to all) informed decisions.
I’m a bit speechless at this point. I’ve written about 5 posts so far stating that they have a bias, the actual one definitely not clearly articulated, including several you’ve responded to. No offense, I think what I’ve written is clear, but that you may be confused.
I'm not 100% sure I'm right about this, but in Hebrew, as far as I know, this is pretty standardized. You have "the 'close' Friday" to mean the Friday happening this week, and "next Friday" therefore automatically means the one in the following week.

I think because one of the two options is unambiguous (near Friday can't be parsed differently), the other option automatically becomes clear as well.
Nope, I think the UI is fit for purpose, doesn't need a flatso look and feel or massive space used for static text.

Firefox is the only major browser left that doesn't use Webkit/Blink, and its market share is constantly shrinking (<4% now?). Its funding is unstable, Mozilla keeps losing staff and failing to gain traction with their experimental projects/partnerships (Pocket, Send, etc.), all while Chrome becomes the new de facto standard, iterating features that only Chromium based browsers fully implement.

It's a losing game... Firefox is treading water, just waiting to drown. It's sad because it's the last significant open source browser, but I guess the world just doesn't care. Google and Apple are taking over everything.
Rothschild means "red shield", for anyone curious.

The full etymology:

>The name is derived from the German zum rothen Schild (with the old spelling "th"), meaning "at the red shield", in reference to the house where the family lived for many generations (in those days houses were designated not by numbers but by signs displaying different symbols or colours).

It was less about ideology and more about Stalin's desire to industrialize so that they didn't get overrun in the next war.

Under a capitalist system with similar paranoia about the defence of their exposed western border they probably would have faced something similar.

Ireland's 1850 famine was another example of a grain exporting region being milked into famine during a bad harvest by an absent ruler.
The point is that nobody would instinctively choose that fourth interpretation, because nobody instinctively thinks of events happening at a rate.

When a form requires JS to be submitted, there’s a high probably that I abandon that website instead. My expectations of working plain HTML are never higher than with regard to forms. By all means, progressively enhance, but don’t be tempted by the hubris of claiming to know better than the user-agent how the user-agent should work. It’s not just rude, it’s a slippery slope towards systematic incompatibility, weirder bugs than the ones you were afraid of, and security holes.
What bugged me the most was how unwilling users were to dive into code to make small edits. They’d rather spend 3X the time filing issues, writing emails, and tweeting about it. And if you tell them, “maybe you should just not use this,” then you’re seen as unreasonable.

The entitlement drove me out. The market is more about chasing shiny things than using things that are the best fit.
No it wouldn't been involvement. The company is remaining neutral and allowing employees to do as they wish.

There are plenty of reasons to have a strong organization irrespective of whether it does what it says it does.

1. To silence valid criticism & gag public opinion.
2. To take advantage of a splintered population of
insignificant and disorganized clusters and interest groups
& gain legislative / political power.
3. To steer discussion & policy directives toward
boondoggle initiatives so that there is semblance of
progress but very little to show in the way of actual
positive outcomes - outcomes deemed not core to the said
group's world outlook.
4. To bully lawmakers into shaping public policies in the
hopes of creating a moat so big, that it effectively
shields said organization from any incursion, for decades
to come.

Basically all organizations - in the current highly polarized atmosphere - want to concentrate power within themselves for use as currency for various objectives - whose motivations are not necessarily what they appear on the surface. No matter what the organization is, the more powerful it is the more of these things it engages in, by virtue of just being powerful.

They would tolerate and even want high utilisation by a normal customer; the problem is fraud. As fraudsters want to get the most out of each crime, they are likely to hit 100% utilisation. So 100% utilisation is a red flag for fraud, especially if it's on every account at once instead of just one card.

It's not really something that the bank can fix by changing the amount of its credit lines. That would only change the dollar amount that each fraud would cost; the fraudsters will still maximally use the credit line no matter its size.
Americans were all about shortening words and phrases in the late 1700s / early 1800s.

Worse, there was a period of time where Americans would shorten a phrase, then mis-spell it for the lulz. The most famous example is "All Complete" -> "Oll Komplete" -> "OK" -> okay.
Autoformatting the code with Black before and after unparsing is how I avoided this problem.

I'm surprised that the author of the article did not include the classic "It was a dark and stormy night" [1]. Granted it's probably a bad way to start a novel, but it's a famous and a catchy way to start a novel to get the reader's attention.

Apple also doesn't mention the need for the passcode at all, only that you'll need your Apple ID's password to disable Find My iPhone (to prove the device is yours).

In fact, Apple specifically instructs you to back up your device and wipe it before sending it in for service [0].

To me, Joseph Conrad will always be the best writer of openings. At times, they can be a bit too descriptive, but if you take your time, the atmosphere-building is worth it. He also frequently uses a layering technique, where the narrator reports someone or something else that contains the actual story. Heart of Darkness famously does this. I'll take this approach over an attention-grabbing line any day.

Here's one of my favorites, from Karain: A Memory:

We knew him in those unprotected days when we were content to hold in our hands our lives and our property. None of us, I believe, has any property now, and I hear that many, negligently, have lost their lives; but I am sure that the few who survive are not yet so dim-eyed as to miss in the befogged respectability of their newspapers the intelligence of various native risings in the Eastern Archipelago. Sunshine gleams between the lines of those short paragraphs—sunshine and the glitter of the sea. A strange name wakes up memories; the printed words scent the smoky atmosphere of to-day faintly, with the subtle and penetrating perfume as of land breezes breathing through the starlight of bygone nights; a signal fire gleams like a jewel on the high brow of a sombre cliff; great trees, the advanced sentries of immense forests, stand watchful and still over sleeping stretches of open water; a line of white surf thunders on an empty beach, the shallow water foams on the reefs; and green islets scattered through the calm of noonday lie upon the level of a polished sea, like a handful of emeralds on a buckler of steel.

>I don't see how that's a straw man argument when your prior comment was clearly implying that she should not just assume that a hired technician won't sift through her personal data.

I maintain that, while what happened is terrible and indefensible, that's not a safe assumption to make.

>You're also assuming that she did not just disable her lock code prior to giving the phone for repair. For a non-tech person, it's a reasonable assumption that somebody might have trouble fixing a device that they're locked out of.

Apple instructs you during the service booking process to back up the device and erase it before sending it in for service, which is also documented elsewhere [0].

According to the paper we're discussing, Wikipedia clearly has a measurable effect on science, so either these researchers did their statistics wrong, or you know something they don't. ;-)

I had really hoped that wikis would have been used more often for science. The wiki process seems to align pretty well with the process of scientific publication and peer review.

Wikipedia didn't go this road, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lost_functionalities...

I've found myself addressing the issue with a section at the top of documentation about the expected reader. I can get quite explicit about what the reader is expected to know, include links to relevant backgrounders, and warn that any reader who does not meet the requirements may have trouble.

This way, when someone ignores the section and comes to me in incomprehension of a document they were not expected to understand, I can ask them what was unclear about the "About This Document" section. Although that's probably optimistic about how often people read documentation.
They have done many successful flights.

They just don’t have the marketing skills of someone like a Spacex.
Neat! The comments are an issue, though. But it can be solved: Just parse the comments as AST nodes, too.

I did just that for a converter/transpiler which "updated" code written in an old DSL into a much newer variant of that DSL: A lexer, a parser, a transformer and a printer. The result was not as perfect as doing a mindful, manual transformations for each individual case - but the result is still well maintainable. And, most important, the whole task took us merely months instead of years.

Also, Perl/regexes are awesome for this: With a one-shot transformation it does not matter if transforming 100000 lines takes 5m or 10s, so I could save a lot of time by letting lexer & parser try regexes (essentially guessing and some backtracking = stupid long lookahead) instead of writing a minimal LR parser ;-)

GPT-3 WHat's the deal about it?
Just because you're smart and in the front lines, that doesn't mean you _need_ to take the complex route every time. It takes skill to do things the simple way, to know when you just need to get shit done and when you can/need to be fancy.

Let's say I want a fence for my yard.

The newbie carpenter wants to show off their skills and makes the most beautiful delicate lattice work with intricate fibonacci patterns.

An experienced carpenter sees that I have 4 huge dogs and determines that I need a sturdy fence, not a fancy one.

This is the way I do things at work:

1) Make it work
2) Make it fast
3) Make it pretty

It doesn't matter if you've got the fastest code and the most elegant one-line lambda functions and the most expressive code if it doesn't work first.

First you make the simple and boring solution, the one that works. Then you see if it needs to be faster, most times it doesn't. After that, if you have time, you can spend time making the simple code prettier, more elegant and expressive.

In 99% of the cases I don't need to go past step 1, the simple solution works just fine.
> The plausibility of a conspiracy theory diminishes as the number of people necessary to keep the secret increases.

Where did this idea come from?
One practical lesson I’ve learned about how to keep code simple is that possibly the most important factor to simplicity is staying on the same abstraction layer, ie. not accidentally slipping up or down the layers within the same code “stanza.”

If I’m trying to read a function that is ostensibly about, say, user auth, but what I’m actually reading is about database error handling and bitwise operations on a user role bitfield, something has gone wrong in terms of simplicity. A dumb example is “How do you drive a car?” The right answer is something like “Gas goes, Brakes slows, Wheel turns.” The wrong answer is something like “Ok well, you see there’s a drivetrain... oh and a spark plug, and then...”

In my experience very few code blocks need to be legit complex, eg. the core algorithm of some novel processing you’re doing on the data that came from a paper in the relevant field. Those unusual blocks can be sequestered and documented straightforwardly, with clear variable names and a comprehensive test harness around it.

Many of these structures have concrete channels downstream of the weir which means that the stopper/keeper/recirculating water is equally strong across the width of the river. It can also be extremely hard to swim with any sort of accuracy due to being constantly recirculated and not-very buoyant due to the entrained air.

There are other subtleties in 3D as well; some weirs form a downstream-pointing V when viewed from above the dam - these are generally considered safer as the currents will (generally) move you to the middle of the river and downstream where the water is more likely to be escapable - see [1].

Others can form an upstream-pointing V which has the opposite effect where the currents will move you towards the middle of the river but upstream back towards the stopper/keeper/hydraulic.
