Blah blah blah. Meanwhile, boats arrive daily and hotels are being converted to permanent public housing. Ask an average Brit if they intend to pay room and board for illegal invaders, and they'll say no. Yet it goes on, day after day, month after month, year after year. I expect them to place new restrictions on the law-abiding while allowing the invasion to continue unabated. Johnson has signed on for "build back better", so the real schedule is to screw local people for the sake of implementing some weird German guy's plans for a "reimagined" society and economy.

Removal of SARS-CoV-2 content seemed at my end to be mainly driven by international calls to block disinformation [1], and certainly not driven by US corporate policy as claimed.

Censoring US content worldwide still seems unrelated to exporting America's political culture. Maybe you could make an argument that is hindering the export, or providing a biased view of the export.

Isn't the main feature of nosql supposed to be easy horizontal scalability, the exact opposite of storing everything in a single file?

If you just need a r/w store for some jsons in a single file, why not sqlite? You can put arbitrary-length blobs into it. Some sql will be involved but you can hide it in a wrapper class tailored to your application with a few dozen lines of code or so.

I read this article but am having a hard time understanding the point in concrete terms. What does it mean to make invisible glue code first class? How would reduce the #LOC, which is something the author mentioned many times?
It is kind of crazy, but magic mushrooms were completely unknown to westerners before that 1957 article, despite the fact that magic mushrooms grow natively all over Europe. All we need is ONE person to have described taking them before 1957 to show otherwise — but there is no evidence of it.

I'm not understanding the importance of distinguishing glue code from non glue code. It's still work that needs to be done whether it's "first class" or not. That difference boils down to who writes it, not the fact that it is present in the code base (as measured by LOC, which the author measures and attributes the cause of high LOC to glue code)
Interesting phrasing. These emails are sent with the hiring managers consent. The hiring manager is the senior partner in the endeavour, so your gripe is with the orgs themselves, that do this? Which is basically FAANG and anyone who aspires to be them?

I am not under the impression that it's a honest mistake. What I think had happen is that someone involved in the Files app let it happen, then boosted about the spectacular adoption rates of the app in their presentations.

The Apple's statement is technically correct as it could be interpreted about what's the current situation or what is their company policy. It doesn't say it never happen.

Think of it like the "muslims don't eat pork" statement. Although the general policy is that muslims don't eat pork, there are clear exceptions where they can eat pork(when no other food is available and they starve). Also, there are muslims that simply love prosciutto and they sin.
There's nothing specifically American about these. It's just the kind of political discourse that gets structurally amplified by social media sites that are clearly maximizing mass "engagement" with posted content.

As a non-American I can tell you how dead wrong this notion is. This might have been true in the mid-2000's when social media was still relatively new (and mostly Western). As it cascaded into other parts of the world, the novelty died off. In fact, to the contrary we are seeing more and more localization of content on social media and other digital platforms. A good example here is Tiktok in user generated content that has geographic & linguistic boundaries. Film, music & other sub-cultures have a much more powerful rubbing effect on pushing subtle American culture than SM.

Back in the 80s, there would be no help sheet for a game like this (excluding some of Infocoms larger games). The idea is that you just try loads of different actions until something happens.

Ok so... after bit of fiddling I've deduced that the basic movement is 'GO <direction>' and also 'Leave' so I'm guessing 'Enter' works as well. Frustratingly, the delete/backspace key doesn't work in the Emulator.

But the first command is quite brilliantly, 'GET LAMP'[1].

The game itself is very 'Hobbit' in style with the drawing of the locations.

New wave of Amazon recruiters stumble upon my previous application. Each one uses the same cookie cutter email, telling me that they have since updated their hiring process like that of Google, e.g. interview for the company then you'll pick a team. Followed by asking me to tell them when was the last time I interviewed and/or took the programming assessment.

You are reaching out to me because I was in your system, to then ask me when was the last time I interviewed?! Once that batch of recruiters is gone, rinse and repeat for the next wave of recruiters[0].

"Plaqunial"/"Plaquenil" seems to be a brand name of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). To some extend this makes it understandable why it is being censored at the moment because the unfounded claims going around that it would help against Covid-19.

This does not mean that it does not have its uses but only that there might be too many people spreading bad medical advice/misinformation at the moment. Combine that with social media' inability to scale content moderation and you end with a blanket ban of the term. This might have gone better for you and your group if these companies could only differentiate if someone is suggesting improper or valid use of HCQ.

So you might consider yourself a victim/collateral damage of an unfortunate coincidence of both Trump spreading misinformation on hydroxychloroquine in the first place and tech's inability to scale moderation and quality of it at the same rate as their growth.
They’re going to really get excited when they realise the crown estate is actually the whole of England and Wales (less the duchy of Cornwall iirc).

The bit they are talking about is the residual that hasn’t had a “freehold” tenancy granted to some other person.

You can’t hold land in England and Wales. The Crown owns it all. All you can hold is a heritable interest in land - an interest that returns to the Crown if you die Bono Vacantia.

Curious, do you think the parent poster was saying that fatherless households actually give rise to paraplegics somehow? If not, why not respond to the actual argument with relevant data, rather than responding to strawmen arguments with NBA participation rates? Just seems like a very odd piece of data to bring up unless you can provide evidence that NBA participation rates are representative of overall well-being for the metrics under discussion.
Practically, NoSQL also seems to just mean "Not-SQL" as stuff like Redis is often lumped in it, which is about the opposite of easy horizontal scalability.

Yeah: this whole argument that Files isn't competing with Dropbox because it has some other functionality Dropbox doesn't have is absurd. One may as well directly copy someone else's product and then add a clock to it and claim "my app doesn't compete with your app because my app also has a clock and I imagine some people are using it just for the clock". If iCloud Drive were integrated with some other even more complex app (as honestly, almost everything people want to do with the Files app they can do with Dropbox: they are direct competitors if you reverse the order of comparison) like Safari or iTunes, then that would make that entire app compete with Dropbox. If iPhoto adds a filter that competes with some standalone photo effects app--maybe Prisma--and then when people search for Prisma they are directed to install iPhoto instead, that isn't somehow "not a problem" because iPhoto has a million more features than Prisma: that would be Apple abusing their App Store monopoly to nudge people to maybe (as nothing is 100%, and it doesn't need to be to be "a problem") use their software instead of Prisma.

Not even to mention that the cognitive algorithms on most web platforms can be manipulated for greater interaction (addiction?) or worse weaponised for political ends.

Who said anything about my attitude toward other people's data? You don't know anything about me. Stop turning me into your vehicle to rail against what you see as an industry abuse of personal data.

What I said was that GDPR compliance is expensive and uses manpower that US companies don't need to spend like EU companies, which may help to explain the challenges that EU tech companies face when competing with US tech companies. The degree of regulatory compliance EU companies must satisfy might also explain why I'm getting paid peanuts when I could be earning more in the US.
India somehow had stumbled and took a turn towards the Hindu right wing majoritarianism/ultra nationalism. It has certainly caused long term effects, the pace of reforms has slowed down considerably. Major policy decisions seems to be stuck in limbo for years, for example regarding Walmart: atleast for 10 years Walmart trying to start retail operations in India, but government hasn't given clarity on policy. Similarly in many many other fields and subjects there has been policy paralysis for last 10 years if not for more.

Not to mension the amount of repression etc the present ruling party indulges in..

15 years ago India looked like it would evolve into a country and society with liberal western values, but it hasn't made progress in recent years, but rather it has regressed.
Useful as in useful for knowing whether the successor was better than the predecessor. Without this information, you cannot fairly assess whether the changes where worthwhile, given the inherent cost in breaking established workflows for current users.

It's not possible to make a fair assessment without doing this because users (read: you) are biased towards what existed regardless of whether the successor design may actually be worth adopting.

And it's quite suitable for this purpose: https://www.sqlite.org/fasterthanfs.html
I think that's actually a result of how D3 has changed over time. It has become much more modular and flexible, but also less "plug & play". In a sense it's a pro tool for custom data visulaisations, where everything is possible, but nothings easy.

I'd recommend Plot instead:
https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/plot

It also works as a pure JS library, just like D3, but is based on a grammar of graphics idea, like ggplot.
It's not infinitely flexible, but flexible enough, and build to get quickly to a chart, with as few lines as possible.
> A process doesn't need a non-trivial flow to need a queue and workers.

Right, it doesn't have to be. Blockchain tech such as Bitcoin is effectively this sort of thing. The idealized type of queue worker would be a pure, referential transparent function that crunches some data and returns an output. More difficult to write but still acceptable: idempotent workers.

> the worker is assumed to be stalled and a new child request is created

This may work for your use case. I'd be worried about an infinite process loop here. Where a problematic job continually stalls a child process and gets entered back into the queue forever, because there needs to be logic to raise an exception and say: "hey, take a look at this job... something may be wrong with it" and then put that job in a holding area. This is also why I'm a big fan of Erlang, which has all of this batteries included with supervisors (they really were 20+ years ahead of their time on this stuff).

> I think there's huge difference in the needs of different implementations of queues

Yes, and people often aren't sure what their needs are. I've worked with RabbitMQ on a system that almost certainly didn't need it. And I've worked on systems that were nothing more than a file that lands via FTP on a folder and is moved (atomically, via /bin/mv) to indicate the job is pending. Using a file system as a queue is another interesting take on this sort of thing. No database even needed.
Metabolic syndrome is on the same spectrum of chronic illnesses as type 2 diabetes. It's not surprising that even non-diabetics can benefit from t2d drug metformin considering that only 11% Americans are fully metabolically healthy meaning they meet none of the criteria for metabolic syndrome.
But if you are one of these metabolically healthy people, you probably wont benefit from metformin.
It is not that it isn't absolutely true, it isn't true anymore with many (most) engines and lubricants, and unless "special" cases.

Lubricating oils have changed a lot in the last 30-40 years, as well as materials used in the engine construction.

The differences between mineral oils and semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oils is huge, modern oils are simply not comparable.

A related old discussion:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14969605

The manufacturer is the one that knows (obviously) the most about the engine so you should stick to the recommended type of oil and recommended oil change interval, doing it more often than that is simply a waste.

I read a possibly dated view by a security researcher that slowly introducing Rust into a C/C++ codebase may actually make the codebase less secure — since the C part can be made aware/can mitigate memory errors while in pure Rust, there is no such thing due to lack of need - so a buffer overflow can potentially cause bigger problems this way.

If someone with more knowledge on C and Rust compilers and security, I would be interested in their opinion on this.
> Not the death penalty, sure, but still illegal.

Your source says the last conviction was in 1928, and prosecutions had long since died out except for 3 cases. If anyone tried prosecuting those laws today, they'd just get thrown out.

There are a lot of unenforceable junk laws like this on the books because nobody has gotten around to repealing them. They are not examples of a modern medieval legal system.

There are also racist real estate covenants. They are unenforceable and hence moot today.

Not really. The psyops is run by insiders.

The issue is that very often it would only take you a couple seconds to go through anyway, so you end up forcing the other person to adapt in a way that leaves everyone either the same or delayed.

There are definitely places where letting someone go is appropriate, especially if it's leaving a gap so they can make a turn. But if you're on a road and you have to wave them through then most of the time you're not actually helping, and fake-helping is an annoying thing.

I remember an article from Lifehacker I think back in the day where the author wrote that they could arguably infer what mood their friends were in from their Last.FM scrobbles. For the uninitiated, it's just a way of tracking music you've listened to.

While I don't think that's quite accurate in hindsight, I do often wonder just how many indicators there are that could be picked up and reflected back to the user, in order to see if their otherwise passive behaviour is something they might want to be aware of.

A common example is usually number of screen unlocks. I even find myself opening Twitter multiple times without realising or identifying it as "Oh, this is me procrastinating"

Given the timelines involved, I'd say it's more likely that not that Modi is following in the footsteps of Xi Jinping. In fact most of Asia is in the hands of some kind of ethno-nationalist leader, from Duterte in the Phillipines to Suga in Japan, Xi in China or Jae-In in S. Korea. Modi is not really exceptional when viewed on the scale of other asian leaders. But Asia has always had a much more ethno-nationalist bent, so it may be surprising to people who compare Indian politics to those of Western Europe. Even western darlings like Aung San Suu Kyi, once in power, turned out to be of a strong ethno-nationalist bent, which I'm sure shocked a lot of her supporters in the West.
