>The next time someone asks us to trust the science, our response should be "okay, but can I trust the scientists?"

Originally, trust in scientists was not required. Because anyone could have repeated the experiment and should see results consistent with what the scientists were saying.

This is where the credibility of science come from and it made people's trust in science grow to a kind of blind faith. But then some point, experiments became too large to be attempted by anyone. This along with entities like "consensus" and "reputation", that can reject any conflicting results, enabled entities that control all of these to have a veto power on scientific truth.

This is our current situation. And I am not sure people recognise the true danger of this situation. This is the kind of power that in holy men held in ancient times, where you could make people to do mass murders and other atrocities in the name of god. So I think it is very dangerous. It might not be that bad as of now, but we are in that path.

One solution to this problem is to recognise and reduce the trust in "science" that is a result such collaboration.

May be we can do it by using a measure of how easily verifiable a result is. For example, if something is verifiable by anyone in this planet, it should have a measure of 1. And if it is only verifiable by a single entity, then it should have a measure of zero. If it is verifiable by a few entities, then it should be somewhere between.

Wow. The first thing the "Hey, please don't send telemetry" flag does is send telemetry.

> I've never read anything to make me think that Rust is a safer alternative than any of these options; the guarantees of the language are just assurances of its advocates.

Note that some formal verification work has been done on the guarantees that the borrow checked provides (which led to finding and fixing an edge case bug), so there is a little more concrete evidence that just the "assurances of its advocates"

> Language support for tagged unions (which they call enums for some reason)

Probably because the simplest case of Rust enums (without any data other than the tag itself) can act similar to a C enum, to the point that you can "#[repr(C)]" it and use as FFI for the equivalent C enum. One understated advantage of Rust for C programmers (which is on topic given that the Linux kernel is written mostly in C) is that its syntax and keywords have many similarities with C, starting with the use of braces for blocks and semicolons to end statements.
No, it’s just about getting compensation back for your work. If Oracle benefits from RedHat’s initial work then it is only fair that RedHat benefits from any improvements that Oracle later makes.

Assuming that Audacity does not have a CLA the GPL license will prevent muse from forking Audacity into a closed source project and continuing their development there instead. Instead they are required to keep any modifications open source, allowing users to remove aspects like the telemetry.
Think of the matrix as a precomputed lookup table.

Murder rate != violent crime rate

How is this misleading at best? Do you have a source that suggests it's misleading? It would seem that your comment was the misleading one given that it didn't respond to the claim about violent crime in my comment and instead changed the subject to murder, right?

I can't find the original source I saw this in, but #2 in this link from a quick search gives a decent explanation about it. The original source I saw this in put it at about 2x and it was based on reconciling the definitions, not just a "guess" as this one does.

Thanks for the meaningful insights.

The challenge we are seeing here is that we are not generating the code on the fly (both way sync like you mentioned in Delphi) as we are also hosting the application on the SaaS cloud along with several other users apps and a lot of code will be clubbed/shared between the several layers.

Users will be able to add the frontend/GUI code but we don't allow them to execute the backend code in our environment (only the code written by our backend team will be executed in our environment, like other NoCode platforms)

Once they ask for an code export, then we will generate a code on the basic of their project, do some configurations changes so that it can run as a standalone app and then pass on that generated code to the client/user so that they can host it themselves or modify it to meet their specific/complex use case which might not be possible on our NoCode platform.
Once they have exported the code, they cannot import it back. Its one way export only.
This is very timely for me so thanks for making it. Looking to cut back on my work hours and would like to find something part-time.

When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

Which is to ask: So they improved their Lighthouse score, grats, but did they improve or reduce their user experience? Where's the data on that?

This is of course caused by Google's "good intentions" gone awry. They originally created Lighthouse to help better inform developers, so that developers could create better user experiences.

But Google is now [ab]using Lighthouse as a target for Google Search page-position preference. Developers in turn given this situation code towards Lighthouse (even into its bugs/quirks) because they need that higher ranking, even if it hurts the UX ultimately.
1GB is near useless for the Vita. I think Killzone had an 8GB day one patch or something? FFX/X-2 only had X on the cart so you needed to download X-2 anyways and it wouldn't fit in a gig. Plus a ton of games skipped retail releases outside Asia or just in general like Minecraft. My 1000 series came with a 4GB card in a bundle for the same price. I still upgraded it soon after because it got filled fast.
After working full time for a few Silicon Valley companies for about fifteen years, I developed a chronic illness that forced me out of work for a couple of years.

It took those couple of years to get a solid diagnosis and treatment, and to become functional again. When I returned to looking for work, I found it easier to get contracts as a consultant than to get hired as an employee. I had been thinking of trying that route for some time, but didn't really have an idea how to get started. The illness and loss of work forced me to learn how to do it.

It's now been my main mode of business for about sixteen years, longer than the time I spent as a full-time employee.

Working as a contract consultant has given me occasional breaks of anywhere from a few months up to almost two years. I know how to manage my finances now to weather those dry spells, and I use them to work on my own projects and to educate myself further. It works well for me.
As I mentioned, Breath of the Wild itself doesn't run well anymore with its DLCs. Why did you drag in "AAA" shooter games?

Heck, even slow strategy games like XCOM2 don't run well.
The point is not where the city is, but where its inhabitants (or visiting traders) go in search of natural resources.
It was security consulting, and there were two types of projects - the one week "pentest in a box" type engagements, and then much longer "process/implementation work" which was focused on things like redoing somebody's RBAC from scratch, including lots of stakeholder interviews. The second type had its own issues - it can get pretty tedious going back to the same suburban office park every week for several months in a row.
Why is making the site slower the right thing for end users?
I don't get it. The "spatial predicated" spec given in the post is just code, at another level, but just code. You just move the complexity one level up. Sure for some scenarios writing the spec is way easier than writing plain code; but for other scenarios the spec will be as complex as the problem requires it... and so we are again with the same problem "how to write correct specs (or code)".

We already tried this in the past:

machine code -> assembly -> C -> Haskell -> ...

I'm a developer in my mid-30s, I've done this twice.

The first time was to launch my on consulting in a new city (Denver). I networked a ton and learned new technologies for 6 months. It yielded me the largest fee I've ever secured.

The second time I took 7 months off (once again after moving to a new city). I traveled to Singapore, the Netherlands, and Korea (twice). I was in different states visiting friends 2-3 weekends a month.

Both instances were incredibly fruitful. I got into incredible shape (I worked with two trainers, 5x per week) and inhaled books (fiction and business). These stretches are the best investment I've made in myself.

It doesn't seem shocking to me that AAVE is stigmatized (not that it's right to do so). AAVE re-uses Standard American English words and grammar in different ways. I think it was you up above that brought up the habitual be. If you're not familiar with AAVE, you're probably going to misinterpret it. That stands in contrast to many of the other English dialects, where things are generally either clear from context, or so foreign you have no idea what to make of it and have to ask.

That ability to misinterpret creates confusion, which people don't like. "She be working" could either mean that she's been working a lot recently in AAVE, or a strange way of saying that she is currently at work. Appalachian English, for example, doesn't have pitfalls like that. "They was a-going way over yonder" has grammatical differences, but they don't particularly change the meaning. I would expect most people to be able to infer the meaning of that (presuming they know what "yonder" means).

The second, and probably more important, factor is people's exposure. The portrayal of AAVE in media is not good. I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a character in a show or movie that spoke AAVE, was well educated or prestigious, and wasn't some kind of a shaman, voodoo priest or similar. I don't think I've ever seen a doctor or lawyer on TV that spoke AAVE. The characters that speak AAVE are almost universally poor, usually not very smart, and often involved in either crime or some kind of mysticism. It builds a stereotype around people who speak AAVE, especially since I think most of us have very little exposure to it.

Fwiw, there are other English dialects that are similarly stigmatized. Appalachian English is heavily stigmatized, as is the more general southern dialect, though to less of a degree. The Cockney accent/dialect is similarly stigmatized, and it seems like for similar reasons.
It's not just triple-A ports that struggle on the Switch. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, which is a Nintendo Switch exclusive remaster of a Nintendo Wii game published by Nintendo themselves, runs somewhere between 540p and 720p when docked, and between 378p and 540p when playing handheld.
Two thoughts:

1. There is a phenomena that happens to people that get immersed in an art form, they stop seeing the art as a whole, and only see the parts. For a musician listening to music, they will start picking out their instrument and maybe the percussion, effectively ignoring the rest of the song. After doing this for a while, it becomes automatic, and then becomes real work to be able to hear the work as a whole. I suspect this has happened to this writer with movies.

2. I want to see his list of movies. I want to know how far back his movie watching has gone. According to google there have been 579 Best Picture nominees over the 92 years the Academy Awards have been running. Has he seen all of those? I admit, Best Picture isn't a standard to rank good movies, but there are some real gems that didn't win. (Also, how many of the Hammer Films has he seen? There is 158, many are delightfully bad.)

I grew up watching old movies (30's - 50's) One of my favorite movies is "It Happened One Night" from 1934. I think these old sliver screen movies are better due to writing. To be successful back then, you couldn't hide a bad script behind explosions and cgi, you had to tell a compelling story. Nowadays mass appeal relies not on telling a good story, but on how many big name actors can you get into cosplay suits, fly around the screen, and blow up buildings.
I think the reverse is true, with Rust explore the new multi-language codebase and tooling (LLVM) for Linux, it would be easier for Zig to be another supported language for the kernel.
I understand the intent of the GPL, and the reasoning behind its creation. I'm not arguing about that. It isn't accidental that I am arguing around that point.

I'm talking specifically about the notion of people making money off of open source -- whether BSD, GPL, etc. You cannot possibly make a penny off of what is freely and openly available. It's economic market value is $0.00. It's human value is considerable, but again the market value is $0.

This is lost on all of these sour grapes "wah, they're stealing" arguments.
It's a simple and general method that works in many domains, which is an usual combination.

The other ways of solving the example of arbitrary heat sources and sinks on a plate range from hacky combinations of simpler methods, to tedious math, to complicated general methods. If you switch from heat to pressure distribution, you'd have the same types of options, but the specific methods would be different.

Ask nicely. After all, you want them to do you a favor.

If you're less into respect and more into manipulation, offer them a meaningless trinket. A sticker on the app's home screen saying "I helped", or something.
My reply stems from enriquto's misunderstanding of the purpose of the article, which is the "typical technical education" itself. It's like they are wondering why the article even exists, and isn't just a one line reference to the julia docs. Clearly there's nothing wrong with already having specific knowledge of a subject, but questioning the purpose of technical education because you already have it is bizarre.

Maybe an analogy would better explain my perspective. I imagine that

As I understand it that's still better than the non-mRNA vaccines, because it's an increase from a very small rate. What exactly is the lie?
My (unorthodox and somewhat rickety) note-taking gizmo uses Poisson's equation to classify (continuously) entries.

Basically the note-taking gizmo is a graph. Nodes are given conceptual masses either through pagerank or betweenness centrality (i.e. either through how many random walks or how many shortest paths cross a node). Then we calculate a potential energy (gravity potential) if we by inverting the graph laplacian (a few methods are available). Special attention is given to nodes that "float the most.

Thanks! I've been watching more foreign films, but my problems persist. I'll check out some of these. (I've seen some, like Parasite, The Salesman, Tehran -- they were fine movies.)
I’m ignorant as to how these attacks are so successful. Seems like they always start with a phishing email, but how does some malware on one employee’s computer end up encrypting the “source of truth” for the entire company? Sure, some employees have a lot of access, so obtaining the right person’s credentials will get you a lot of the way there; but it seems like categorically preventing this type of attack should be possible with the right internal security approach. Even just the amount of time it takes to encrypt the data confuses me about this. Do the attackers just choose to launch this on a long weekend?
Thanks! And I feel you. Occasionally I've wanted to pick up some stuff part-time for some extra cash and finding it is few and far between.

Oof. If only the data actually looked like that. They quietly ended the placebo group during Christmas break after 2.5 months (about 2 years earlier than planned)! We will never know the true medium term efficacy of the vaccine, nevermind the long term. That made me so sad, and an indefensible decision IMO.

Luckily I think there's enough people who acquired immunity the hard way to save us.
I think this is an example of capitalism finding exploits in the legal system. We should try to patch this one quickly.
You discover it because its going viral already on your ads and feeds

Or the search query you did use was shared to the data broker and now whats going viral to you already matches what you would have looked for

Not advocating for this, it also drives traffic and is whats happening right now

Its not important that rentpath or some other service you never heard of was what you picked, only their ad spend and ongoing virality is important as they rely on a predicted distribution of the population to be shown their service and click through
>it's on the developers of the software to make these settings granular and off-by-default.

why? privacy advocates in these discusssions always jump to this position and assume everybody is going to agree just because they've invoked the magic p-word. telemetry is useful, and most people don't really care enough to change the defaults one way or the other.

assuming that "because privacy" is not an argument that will sway me, can you explain why i should default to the less-useful option just for the sake of appeasing the people most likely to change the defaults?
There's a similar unsolved LCP issue about progressive images. LCP is currently completely unaware of progressive rendering, so even when an image is rendered at a good-enough quality, it doesn't count as a "paint" at all.
I was mostly thinking about my own experience where the company screwed me over enough times that I feel no incentive to try hard. Take the least risk, focus on not losing point rather than gaining them, because I'll never catch a "sheep".
It is a conflation, but I argue that there's no bright line between the two. The ideology behind pagerank is that relevant results are better and that backlink popularity measures relevance. Another sorting objective is that "more engaging results" are better.

Each is ultimately an expression of will, since there is no objective ranking of what makes something relevant or engaging. Everyone will agree on the order of names in a phone book, but nobody will agree on the "relevance" order of search results.

You see this every day in news-adjacent search topics, where popularity, relevance, and factual correctness can all give different "proper" orderings.

Ultimately, people dislike stances that give disagreeable results, but they think benign stances to be invisible. I don't believe a coherent, legal argument can work this way.
If I might insert an almost entirely unrelated tidbit. In 49 BC Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon, trespassing the legal limit on his ruling territory, and marking in some sense the start of his conquest of the known world. Hence the terms "crossing the Rubicon" and Caesar's famous saying "The die has been cast".

Fast forward to modern times, and people in the area of Romagna, near Ravenna, Rimini, and Cesena, had long claimed with no evidence that a polluted little creek in the region was the actual Rubicon: though its specific identification had long been lost to time. Nonetheless they named it "Il Rubicone". The mouth of the river opens directly south of Cesenatico, a beach town on the Adriatic and the family home of my in-laws. See the bust of Caesar on this bridge over the mouth:

https://www.google.com/maps/@44.166995,12.440708,3a,75y,274....

Now Italians are famous for unnecessarily goosing local legends to make their neighborhoods more historically important than they are. (For example though Leonardo da Vinci did draw a small survey of Cesenatico's historic canal -- not related to the Rubicon -- for the Borgia Popes, that's not enough for the locals: the town has a local plaque saying he created the canal despite the fact that it preexisted him by hundreds of years.) But as it so happens, historical research culminating in the late '90s has verified the river's legend: the creek is in fact the actual Rubicon. In Italy, folk history goes way way back.

Probably because the owners, operators, and/or manufacturers of generating equipment lobbied to get excluded. It's the same reason why emissions regulations apply specifically to reciprocating engines only up to a certain threshold of displacement per cylinder: it exempts the products of Caterpillar.
