that is correct, and to be fair, not contested by the parent comment.

you might be hard-pressed to find two bodies each "exactly like" the other. The interesting questions here are not about exactly equal, but about equivalence classes of people, and in different contexts.
It's not papering over it if you look at the rest of the paragraph. The problem is that the IDEs just aren't made to work with this kind of sandboxing and need to be changed significantly. I agree it would be cool if someone eventually made an IDE that could operate like that.

I mean, in what world aren't "PWAs, web apps and other web technologies" inferior to real apps? I have complex real-time 3D video games that do things like fluid simulation and have dynamic maps that take fewer system resources than any Electron or QtWebkit/QtWebEngine app I've got. I can use CSS for GTK and actually-native Qt, and they don't wreck my system as hard. I see no benefits to PWAs; it sure seems like Apple's doing everyone a favor by making them less common, and I say this as a Linux user who kinda likes having more professionally-crafted apps. I'm pretty much the target audience for them, given that if they don't exist, people are still going to make apps for Mac and Windows. And yet, I would sacrifice every single one of them without a second thought. They don't add enough benefit to be worth it.
I really doubt this sort of hypothetical source of memory leaks was either significant or its root cause could be pinned to this. As this hypothetical scenario depends on an exception being thrown, your code would need to throw exceptions repeatedly for the memory leak to be a problem. If your code throws so many exceptions that not freeing the memory allocated during that code point becomes a problem then you have far more serious problems to fix than discussing language lawyer corner cases.
This would effectively mean that the one we're seeing here is the cast shadow of a building, and that the sky itself is illuminated by the light. The "UFO" is in fact, a shadow
Let me expand a little on why I think this is so corrosive to my trust in Brave, because this is interesting stuff. When I use the Brave browser, I have to second-guess everything in the UI to consider why a control or message is there, if it’s in my interest or if you’re trying to get me to do something that’s in your interest. My eyes have to scan the UI in much the same way I do with ads in search results or spam in my inbox; having to actively filter out the potential harms from the things that are useful.

It’s like I can feel my eyes getting more tense as I do this.

That means that every single time I use the browser, the impression that Brave should not be trusted is reinforced in a very physical way. It’s not just a “brand impression” but a muscle memory.
TLDR: You brain lies to you - don't take it's opinions at face value.

I absolutely identify with this, and wish I had some solutions to share. One insight that may help, is that I think I measure myself too much against my perception of others' effectiveness. So I'm comparing against an unreliable, subjective benchmark that may bear no relation to reality, and I don't have the full picture of those peoples' lives to understand what makes them seem more effective, even if they are.
Du Bois wasn’t banned from travel because of FARA. It was another law, the McCarran-Walter Act [1], that was passed by the Congress (so not due to the sole executive power or FARA as you claimed).

It’s incorrect to blame the travel ban on FARA (and executive power), since the passing of the McCarran-Walter Act had Senate’s support after Du Bois was arrested.

Peace Information Center didn’t dissolve due to financial issues. (BTW, your earlier claim “FARA in the US would allow for unlimited fines” is also incorrect. Hefty, but far from unlimited, and easily covered by HK protesters [2], although financing Apple Daily is now banned by the HK NSL, which is another difference to FARA). That’s quite a bit different from the Apple Daily case, which dissolves because its assets were fully seized.

Was PIC dissolve due to the lawsuit? Probably. If Apple Daily (or CGTN or RT) were hit by FARA today like PIC did, would Apple Daily dissolve? Unlikely.

Equating US FARA to HK NSL would be wrong. HK NSL is way harsher. It’s like equating the freedom of press in the US and in China. Huge difference, even if the laws on their own look similar on paper.

I dislike unfair bashing of projects which the domain name sort of implies, but I can’t help but question the reason for Flatpak and snap to exist.

They are not great as sandboxes (something very dearly needed for linux, correct me if I’m wrong but firejail is suid so it actually can make a potential zero day into a root escalation), and the biggest problem: they suck as a packaging solution. It is the same way as Docker, making it someone else’s problem. I don’t understand why should linux distros badly copy that model when we have Nix, that actually solve dependency management properly. It should be pushed for.
A lot of comments on twitter are like: "That's how you write emails", "how to stay on point", "what a pro", bla bla...

Completely oblivious.
I have no issue with how they choose to self identify. I accept trans-identifying individuals and I will use whichever pronouns they ask of me.

What I have an issue with is this type of behavior where they turn things upside down without any care for others. In this case, they're stealing glory from and seriously hampering the careers of lifelong female athletes.

Imagine lifting since you were a teenage girl, and someone else in their mid 30's, who would not have qualified for the men's competition, comes along to take your Olympic medal after going through a sex change procedure. It's deeply disrespectful to women. It requires a certain zealotry to bully your way into female spaces like this.
Depends on the Union and local work culture. Just like if you aren't part of a union (Amazon workers get "ratted out" by others if they "go on a bathroom break", as a hypothetical).
This happened already with Oscar Pistorius.
> in what world aren't PWAs, web apps & other web technologies inferior to real apps?

Apple controls the iPhone ecosystem. That's how they're worse. It's the single most dictatorial move our industry has seen, and it's damaged our industry to the point we have to go through a single company to reach consumers.

The minute native Rust/WASM with custom painted UI and the ability to call device APIs lands, it's game over for app stores. Or it would be, if Apple would allow this stuff to exist on their platform. (They won't.)
I'm not sure it's going to be that clear-cut. If you rented a place, and can prove you could have afforded it, but simultaneously can't prove that you paid rent for all the times it was due, then that's going to hurt your future ability to rent and/or borrow money for some time. Future renters and loan officers look (or will soon start looking) at this data.
My interpretation of the parent post is that it's a personal anecdote along the lines of... women find it romantic on a date for the man to pay for dinner but also expect equal career opportunities and wages from their employers. I actually support the woman's take on this although I think they should lean in and own the bias, as women are generally taking on a greater risk when dating than men are. Great song btw.
Yes! Thank you for the reminder. Years ago I did read it in grad school studying economics, and this conversation has me looking for it, I plan to read it again. As a side note, I found the work of Joseph Schumpeter also incredibly insightful, he coined the term 'creative destruction'.
> As this hypothetical scenario depends on an exception being thrown

It doesn't.

Exercise for the reader: detect evaluation interleaving without exceptions.

> If your code throws so many exceptions that not freeing the memory allocated during that code point becomes a problem

It need not manifest itself as a mere memory leak.

Exercise for the reader: make something happen beside a memory leak.
Lobbying isn't nearly as big of a problem in other countries. Your problem starts in the ballot box when you let your politicians elect themselves with mail in and electronic electronic voting machines. When they don't need you to get elected, they will instead sell themselves to the highest bidder.
I happen to like that counterpoint. It doesn't feel like damage control, it feels like what they're doing, is worthy of discussion and they don't shy away from it.
All it is really doing is expose how much of current results are down to genetics and hormone levels anyway.

This has always been a problem, but one where all but the sports most extremely affected, like e.g. weightlifting with weight classes, have pretended it is not.

In powerlifting there additionally are "tested" and "untested" federations, where it's an open secret that the untested federations are full of steroids.

The point being that one can keep pretending these differences don't exist and agonise over the effect trans people may have, or you can introduce class systems that equaliser by physical characteristics irrespective of sex and gender.
Flatpak handles all that too, all these tools are using the same Linux security primitives. There is really not any difference between them from a security perspective. Technically flatpak is based around bubblewrap for some of the low level bits, which is kind of like an even simpler version of firejail: https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap

Who said that? Guess it’s not as famous as Michael Dell’s 1997 advice to Apple

It is hard to take such a vote seriously in either direction. The employees end up in the middle of two powers pushing and pulling them both ways.

I think you would have to ask employees what they want, union or not, and figure out if a union is the right way to achieve that.
No, it's not because of the iPhone ecosystem that PWAs are bad. It's not because of the iPhone ecosystem that web technologies are ridiculously bloated with no intention of actually fixing the problem. It's not because of the iPhone ecosystem that web apps are inferior to every other type of application you can find.

You can't blame every single problem on "the iPhone ecosystem."

I certainly don't like the iPhone or its software; this doesn't mean that it's somehow responsible for PulseAudio being bad. Not everything can be tied to the iPhone. Really!
I understand that anabolic steroids give a life long advantage in terms of muscle memory.

Anyone who's done some semi serious lifting and then gone on a long break to return will know that progress is much faster the Nth time around.

This explains why those who have taken steroids will have a life long advantage:

Eg https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190125084106.h...

I also understand that the male puberty imprints into the muscle development for life.

As such, two opinionated observations:

1) Once you've done steroids you should be banned from high level competitions for life, not just 4 years or what.

2) Allowing someone who has experienced and lifted weights through and after male puberty to compete against those who have not is grossly unfair to cisgendered female lifters. See point 1.
I’ve read a security researcher’s option on firejail - that it is problematic as it is a suid executable. Making a potential bug into a root exploit.

Could someone verify/disprove this? I would guess it drops privileges as soon as they are not needed but didn’t yet have the time to look at it and I have no sufficient knowledge to say whether privilege dropping is enough.
You know, I'd call myself a hard-core capitalist... and I hope that the Teamsters succeed.

It is my dream, my hope beyond hope, that full unionization lands at FAANG, and lands hard.

Shit, I might even donate to the effort.

Amazon works people to death for a pittance. Apple will fire you for being Jewish. Google fired a dude for the thinnest possible "misogyny", but "kill all the jews" merely resulted in their Head of Diversity getting reassigned, right along with his fat compensation package.

Unions, strong ones, unions that will stop work when the coffee isn't quite good enough, unions that will prevent even the lowest performer in the company from ever being fired, are absolutely fitting punishment for the Lords of Silicon Valley.

> And then every object has one more state.

No, not really. Either the allocation followed the happy path, or one of the expected failure modes kicked in.

And the supposed footgun example boiled down to failing to handle one of the failure modes.

I mean, think about it: std::make_shared is a factory method, isn't it?
I think we already had that occur to some degree

You’re mistaken.

My wife was a sponsored rock climber when we met, and we know quite a few top level climbers (including a couple that non climbers might actually have heard of). Sponsorship keeps many of them going, but not at the level you’re thinking of.

Think “can afford to do a euro trip staying at Airbnb’s”. Which is cool, but you probably make more than any of them with your developer gig.
The US supporting democracy (or atleast classical liberal enlightenment values that would eventually lead to a functioning democracy) in Vietnam, Iraq, Korea, Syria, Afghanistan, and more has by far been a net negative economic interest. We've paid dearly while Europe mostly enjoyed social welfare benefits.
It's interesting you gave France as an example, because they have a nice workflow/system to avoid this.

There are presidential elections every 5 years, which are "standard", if no candidate gets over 50% of the votes, there's a second round between the first two candidates from the first round. A month later, there are legislative elections, the concept being that people will send the new president a parliament he can work with if they're OK with him. Macron won with 20 something % in the first round ( second round was against the aforementioned National Rally, so his victory was guaranteed), but his party got 50%+ in the legislative elections because people decided to give him a chance to enact his program, even if he wasn't their first choice. That isn't always the case, and if the far right wins the presidential elections next year i'm certain they won't have a parliamentary majority.

To avoid a popular wave sweeping everything, the legislature id bicameral, the aforementioned legislative elections only for the lower chamber, the National Assembly. The higher chamber, the Senate, which is more limited in powers but can still exert influence over the lower chamber's law making, is indirectly elected by mayors, local/departmental/regional councilors with staggered 6 year terms ( every 3 years half the seats are up for election).

IMHO it's overall a good system that allows for everyone to be represented, enables governments to be stable ( but doesn't force it). The main thing i'd improve is ranked choice voting for single seat elections ( presidential, local).

And besides all that specific to France, i disagree about "classic" MMP. It forces cooperation and compromise, much better than a party forcing through with whatever they want because there's nobody that can opose them.
During flight, you can't gain access to the cargo hold.

On the ground, unauthorized personnel gaining access to the cargo hold could leave a bomb there so they really try disallowing that.

I doubt there's special concern here.
It’s not clear who you’re saying is being too sensitive, or why you think so.
it's generally regarded that the german was no where close to develop a nuclear bomb. They had plans that was started, but they didn't really have the resources to do this at all. It's just part of this narrative myth, maybe to justify the operations against them or that it just makes for a better story.
Also, germany's fleet was in shambles toward the end of the war and the allied had complete control of the english channel
As a German, I agree. Also not keen on health certificates in the first place to be honest and I doubt I will make use of it.

Android or iOS will certainly not see too much health data of mine. Kudos to those working on it for free, but I don't really like to use the results.
Mobile vs. Desktop Usage in 2020
The paper disagrees with your intuition:

> Previous research with the longitudinal follow‐ups after HCMST 2009 showed that neither breakup rates nor relationship quality were influenced by how couples met, so the retrospective nature of the HCMST “how did you meet” question should not introduce couple survivor bias (Rosenfeld 2017; Rosenfeld and Thomas 2012). [6] Once couples are in a relationship, how they met does not determine relationship quality or longevity. [7]
They're holding. Historically, almost every single BTC sell was a bad idea.
Images -> correlation in space -> Deep convolution networks

Time series -> correlation in time -> Recursive networks

Tabular data without clear correlation structure -> good old ML (ANN, SVM, DT, LR, KNN).

This is obvious when following the field since 2006 or so. Deep Convolutional Networks were considered a special case for data with local correlations at a hierarchy of spatial scales. Same for RNNs in time, although they came much later (when was the LSTM rediscovery again? 2016?)

For most data without clear spatial or temporal structure to exploit, the good old ML techniques will work just fine.
While I think there's merits to what you are saying, also keep in mind that Google SERPs have dramatically changed over the past few years. It's very much a different search engine to Google of the 2010s.

The most visible examples are that Google is editorialising specific results, and specifically boosting what it considers "credible sources". It also means wilfully not giving you what you want to search for.

Try to search for "8kun" on Google, and you won't find a single link to 8kun.

Try to search for "8kun" on Bing, and the #1 result is 8kun.top.
Small correction: The term "bullet voting" means voting for one candidate only (001000), rather than voting 0 or 1 on each candidate (101011). It is caused by low engagement from the voters, who only take the time to learn about one candidate, their favorite. It has been a problem for approval voting in practice, and it is unclear to what extent it affects score methods in practice.

I think STAR is slightly worse than Score, is comparable to Approval, is much better than IRV, and is likely better than Condorcet methods. STAR has some odd behavior which can be explored in a 3-person race. Score has less-problematic behavior caused by risk-taking with equilibrium voters (not like voters behave in any way similar to Nash equilibria though, and who knows what the real-world behavior will be).

However, STAR's main benefit may be in overcoming political resistance, if its properties are simpler to convince voters. Majority criterion sounds nice even when it is inefficient. Much like Top Trading Cycles losing to Gale-Shapley in school choice algorithms (excluding Boston).
I'm genuinely puzzled as to whether this absolutely factual comment was downvoted by RISC-V haters or RISC-V fanboys lol.
I am on the third or forth trial to change to DDG and this time it is working not because DDG is better but because Google's search is degrading so much.
I've seen some voting systems include a "delegation" feature, where instead of submitting a full ranking of candidates (or whatever), you can just vote for a single candidate and your full ballot will be determined by their full ballot. What you're describing seems to be basically IRV but where you are forced to delegate?

(OK, I guess the runoff isn't truly instant, but still.)

I worry that this might have the same sort of monotonicity problems as IRV normally does, only in terms of the candidates' ballots instead of the voters'.
I apologize for misunderstanding your initial point: couching the pro-trans movement as an "ideology" had read to me as a dismissal of the pro-trans movement at large and if that is not your intent then I retract my initial comment.

That said, I don't really agree with this clarification either: no trans woman is setting out to have gender reassignment to bully their way into competing against women who were lifting since they were teenagers. I think you are attributing this to malice that is simply not there, and it is only an artifact of unfortunate circumstance. Trans women certainly don't want to be in this situation either: I'm sure they would much rather be born biologically female and compete that way!
Not only will they work just fine, they'll save you compute costs, training time and lower your need for data.
Jesus just reading the first paragraph tells me everything I need to know about this person, what a whiny little bitch.

Lisp and C are my favorite languages and most of the people I know who like one tend to like the other. I was surprised by this guy who praises lisp but hates C with such a passion.
Mmm, true. I started using units(1) quite recently, and “h” being the Planck constant rather than hours keeps on tripping me up. The built-in abbreviation “kph” for km/hr isn’t comfortable either. (mile/hr may be commonly abbreviated as “mph”, but km/hr is conventionally “km/h”). Ah hah! There, just created ~/.units containing `h hr`, now this will bother me no more (since I’m unlikely to ever want to use the Planck constant). Pity it doesn’t use XDG paths (which would probably land the file at ~/.config/units), though you can define the environment variable MYUNITSFILE.
It also only has 4 USB C ports. The 2010 iMac had no less than 9 ports (more if you included the one on the keyboard) plus an optical drive. These new machines are not appealing to me at all.
Sad to say third/fourth gender is mostly still unacceptable in most Asian countries. Only acceptable in small part of Asians. Third/fourth gender is more acceptable in ancient Asia though. In Thailand Kathoy mostly compete in Men Category.

Yeah, this. ~95% of our usage is on chrome (our app is education so lots of chromebooks) and yet safari makes up 50% of the problems.

The issues recently with localstorage being broken ( https://twitter.com/jaffathecake/status/1389493762129375232?... ) have been particularly egregious, there's lots of users losing content on safari and we have to explain it's due to Apple breaking their browser (again).
Of course if your standard is ‘whatever Chrome does’ it’s different
