I mean they failed css2 (exists since 2000) features that exists since forever and bugged even before the divergence. Those features works on literally everyone includes ie 11 except safari and even against the spec apple provided itself. They never got fixed. There are tons of obvious ancient bugs on the safari exists are since day one and seems no one it fixing it(even they confirm it is a bug on their bug tracking site). Its supports site is a total joke. This is also what I believe why the divergence happened.

If a bug exists in half of browsers and spec don't really defined it, then it's my fault.

If a bug exists in exactly one browser and behaved contrary to the spec, then it's browsers fault. And there are way too many to count on safari.
Given that this was all different people, I'm not sure why you chose to interpret #3 as not knowing that NASA != SLS. As I said, critics focus on SLS. I could easily have made statement 3, and I work at an org with plenty of NASA funding for non-jobs-program projects.

And if I were to go out on a limb, I suspect if you asked person 1 what they were mad about, it's probably the human spaceflight program, not science.

I have just come to accept this is how it is and unless you are a wiki power user who can just directly create a page, don’t bother and let someone else create it because you are wasting your time. I find it funny that articles like the one for GitLab had to fight off the wiki mods who wanted to remove it for not being notable.

The worst part is how Wikipedia does not have a logical user introduction flow. They have an insane amount of rules and process but they will very quickly drop a brand new user in to a text box and make it look like you simply type in some stuff and the page will be created.

They need some kind of reputation system to ramp up users to greater and greater feature sets like stack overflow has rather than pretending a brand new or unauthenticated user can just create a page.
Show HN: SQL Learning and Practice Resource
Best way to learn anything is through practice and SQL is no different. I am continuing work on an online tool to learn and practice SQL. Idea is similar to stackblitz or jsfiddle, but for SQL. I know there are tools like sqlfiddle and others around. They are great resources, but there is always space for one more, with newer ideas and better UI.

Added new feature to generate DDL from CSV data. Give it a spin and I appreciate any feedback.

My favourite FizzBuzz is in Haskell, I found it in this talk by Kevlin Henney[0], and looks like this:

fizzes = cycle ["", "", "Fizz"]
buzzes = cycle ["", "", "", "", "Buzzes"]
words = zipWith (++) fizzes buzzes
numbers = map show [1..]
fizzbuzz = zipWith max words numbers

Henney explains in detail in the video, but it makes use of lazy evaluation to create an infinite list of FizzBuzzes, and also uses no if statements. I find it intellectually exciting, but make no claims on readability

Hedge Funds Get a Wake Up Call on the Risks of Investing in China
> Gold-backed currency is fiat, with government setting gold-money exchange rate.

Not all gold-backed money needs to be based on a fixed exchange rate, and secondly, gold coins and bars could be imported from where they were underpriced so exchange rates couldn't be arbitrary.

> Besides, there were more bank runs back in the gold standard era.

So what? What's wrong with that? Your money, your responsibility.

It seems you prefer socialistic techniques of avoiding bank runs, like deposit insurance where even laborers without savings bear the risk of protecting richest person's savings deposits, and the Fed, where currency is debt is created out of absolutely nothing.
Modern US landfills are lined and capped water tight, and have been for decades. Permitting is a thoroughly reviewed process, by dozens of federal, state, and local government offices, and hundreds of officials and engineers. Monitoring wells ensure compliance.

Even if it's microplastic in that landfill water, it's not getting to the ocean. Worst case is it's captured with the decomposing gases and condensate, and reprocessed at a refinery or incinerated.

The plastic is much better deposited in US landfills than shipped overseas, where it may be directly spilled into the ocean, or dumped into open fields for the poor to manually sift for the most valuable material, and then there's no telling where the rest of it will end up once it rains.

Plus landfill plastic is sequestered carbon.

Even places that certify plastic recycling into a new end user product are often making worthless items that are given away so that they can claim zero waste. The material ends up as construction fill for hydraulic detention infrastructure, playground surfaces and sports fields, or even those "green" children's toys. Or cheap fleeces. Lots and lots of cheap fleeces, blankets, and snuggies.

The exact places we don't want that plastic to end up.
Do they allow you to get it programmatically, or do you have to log in and press buttons by hand?
No but I heavily drew from three tools:

(1) minikube, which I also maintained at Google. I saw how difficult getting started with Kubernetes could be even when you were able to create a local cluster. I also knew all the shortcuts that you could take to streamline local Kubernetes workflows (e.g., loading images directly into the minikube docker daemon).

(2) docker compose, which remains a great tool but had no analogue for Kubernetes. It also didn't have a concept of syncing for hot-reloadable projects or built-in file watcher.

(1), Draft by the Deis folks at Microsoft, which was a great tool but suffered from having a component that you needed to install on the cluster to work, where the skaffold architecture was purely client side (making it a lot easier to get started, and faster). I also wanted to make skaffold pluggable, so it supported helm, kubectl, docker, bazel, and other tools right from the start. It also had clear boundaries between build and deploy and ideas for CI and gitops workflows built in.
In my projects I use a script to watch for changes and recompile/restart with a loop such as:

executable=/path/to/target
while true; do
make build
if [ ${?} -eq 0 ]; then
${executable} run &
pid=${!}
fi
inotifywait -qq -e create -e modify -e delete --exclude '\.#.*' -r .
[ -n "${pid}" ] && kill ${pid}; pid=
done

This is simplified a bit, as the script usually contains some other things like starting and initializing the database.

Thank you for the summary. The arrogance and moral bankruptcy of the first two stories are marvels of human behaviour. I was not aware "safe ML" was a thing; I was aware of explanatory models, but I guess the safe ML research you do covers more than just that?

Your third and fourth points I think are linked. I am not exactly sure where or how you would draw the line, but I kind of think of these ML/AI applications as something that could be export-controlled or be regulated along those lines, just like certain pieces of hardware are export-controlled on the grounds that they could be used for harm, and weapons, of course (and I mean, add some salt here because governments will cause the harm regardless, but hopefully the point comes across.) Once the regulations are in place, and corporations take _substantial_ economical hits for their errors (unlike, say, GDPR violations, which Google just factors into their OPEX), those corporations will rapidly start effecting real change. Corporations understand the language of (economic) violence suprisingly well, it's an effective tool for change. But like you said, it is precisely the same governments and corporations driving the research and exercising economic and political power, so I am not entirely sure how that would start shaping into place. Like almost everything else in life, the first step will probably be to keep raising social awareness; change will emanate from us at the bottom -- if we can direct our anger correctly and if the climate catastrophe that is upon us does not wipe us all first.
I was there during the raid which was multiple days. FBI setup a mobile command center and had dozens of agents there.

On a separate issue, a person who ran a Trump group on IRC threatened to kill my family but in an inert way: “I look forward to watching your mom [violent threat].”

This individual, allegedly a hacker, then fabricated a threat to the FBI. A few days later, 2 FBI agents showed up at my residence and asked my property manager if I was violent. They laughed at them.

I spoke to them moments after this and they realized the claim was a lie. And “closed my case”. I gave the FBI the person’s cell phone. The one agent emailed me saying where the person was located but no updates. 5-months later nothing happened.

Then this so-called hacker emailed anti-Semitic threats and emailed a message to the FBI agent and copied me. I confronted the FBI agent over this and asked if this individual was an FBI informant or agent.

Considering this person is monitoring hacker groups, now impersonating me, and emailing FBI agents messages signed with “Hitler”, even though they have this person Verizon phone number, is incredibly sketchy.

Beyond that, there’s been so many FBI scandals that it’s beginning to be embarrassing. I’m not scared of corrupt dumb people regardless if they have a federal badge.
I agree with your first sentence at least. Conspiracies -- from what led to Jan. 6th to Watergate to John Brown's Raid to the XYZ affair -- absolutely exist. But the word has been so completely conflated with absurd, even insane ideas, that to talk of conspiracy immediately puts the accuser at a serious rhetorical disadvantage.

As in selling it to other countries. China used to buy this shit btw, since you were wondering why they has so much plastic. Ever heard of the law of preservation of garbage? No you wouldn't have, I've just made it up.
The US and others have fallen into the trap of preparing for the next big war by looking at the last (WWII). Did anyone see the recent opening ceremonies at the Olympics? It included a presentation of 1800 drones flying in precise coordination. It does not take much imagination to see potential of drone swarms on the battlefield.
The asymmetry with respect to lying has always bothered me. In other words, the idea that a federal employee (not just law enforcement I believe) can lie to you with no legal consequences, yet, if you lie to them, the consequences are dire, truly bothers me at the core.

Extend this further to the fact that politicians suffer no consequences whatsoever for lying and you have a situation where the political class can manipulate and twist matters to fit their objectives, while, if you do the same, you can end-up in prison for a long time.

I have always felt this asymmetry is very wrong. Lying might have a place in law enforcement, for example, when infiltrating a human trafficking organization. No problem with that at all. It should, however, be treated like a warrant. In other words, a judge should authorize it and it should be documented.

This is a silly example but it is the only one I have from personal experience. When I was younger I got a speeding ticket that was a complete lie. The cops knew it. And, in fact, the wrote it down. It was something like going 35 in a 25 zone, when, in reality, the posted speed limit was 45. This cost me both time and money, even when the ticket was summarily dismissed by the judge when I showed pictures of the speed limit sign. What did not happen was some kind of consequence trickling down to the cops who pulled me over and lied about the entire thing --and were stupid enough to document the lie.

This isn't about being vindictive, I respect and appreciate cops, they do a job few of us would consider doing and it is hard. However, both cops and politicians should live by the same rules we have to live by. And, when it comes to lies, I could make a case that the consequences should be serious because they hold authority and power we don't have.
I'm not terrified of having "wrong thoughts", but I do think conspiracy theorizing is dumb because no conspiracy theorist seems able to believe just one conspiracy. Oh, you think COVID was a lab leak, and that global warming is fake? What do you think about the moon landing? Is the government controlled by the Jews or the lizardmen? Why don't you (and this is a purely rhetorical "you") seem to have any limits to your credulity, whatsoever? Surely some things are too outrageous to be a priori likely and require specific evidence!
Special agents have a lot of power. I think many are running little fiefdoms of their own. My eyes opened when I heard about the plot to kidnap the governor of MI was actually led and instigated by FBI agents. It was reported by BuzzfeedNews.
That's just awful. My profile has be close to 10+ years old I suppose. And I had some ad accounts I used it to manage. Didn't do a lot of advertising though.

I was never really very comfortable with giving FB any more info than I had to, and I'd expect they have more than I know of or want them to.

When you read that FB posted a $10billion profit and relate that to their customer service, they suck pretty bad.
Then you have the question of how to query it efficiently.

You can’t scan 1 year of data every time, so now you need some type of external process that can either pre-compute those metrics (not flexible) or a compaction type process that makes it manageable to scan all that data.

Which is basically the trade off between something like stream processing or compaction in a database.

This may put some hurt on Blizzard, but all of the popular opinion/employee action has been ‘localized’ to Blizzard, not the company as a whole. It would be a hit for WoW to lose some percentage of players, but Blizzard on accounts for 24% of the companies income [1]. If the PR squad can keep it contained with Blizzard, then Activision and King can just go on making money. Maybe the company as a whole let’s Blizzard take the fall and slowly tries to re-establish the brand.

TL;DR — I don’t think this will have any major impacts to anyone in the long-term, but I can remain hopeful that at least some changes at Blizzard will benefit their employees.

Censorship based on how much money different groups spend and gets outraged is not very democratic compared to censorship based on democratic votes. And censorship based on democratic votes is seen as bad, what big corps do now is even worse.
In other domains, that is called authoritarianism.
When I think of a great man of history I tend to get an idea of someone who did or made a singular thing that has greatly advanced the species. For example, Alan Turing pioneered modern computing. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb (this may be debatable but just for the sake of example). Sir Tim Berners Lee "invented" the [HTTP] internet.

I don't think it matters how educated I am if everything available comes from one of six sources. I know I'm being propagandized; I've just learned I can't necessarily check society's "official" story on certain things. I still see that when the news media covers an issue regarding which I am personally a knowledgeable expert, they are often not just getting it wrong on the mere facts but throwing in ideological slants I would rarely agree with.
I can not take credit for Solow Productivity Paradox, all credit needs to go to Solow himself.

The uptick in productivity between 1995 and 2005 is mostly attributable to 2 sectors:

retail

finance

In retail, it was the era of big boxes, lead by WalMart. Basically, it was the era when big retail learned how to take advantage of big databases to better manage inventory. Sadly, this did not seem to be the beginning of a sustained period of higher productivity trends. Rather, it was a one-off innovation.

In finance, much of the uptick involved HFT. Some economists feel this contributed to the crash of 2008, so how much we should celebrate this particular uptick is open to question.

This reminds me of the CPA & Advisory Services firm I had this year that didn't realize Bitcoin could be exchanged for dollars, and that there were active price charts for many exchanges out there.

Are you in the ideology game or are you in the money game?

This guy is trying to straddle both, and despite their early evangelism of Bitcoin last decade, they are lost in an irrelevant quandary. Am I one of the people in the article annoyed that a deeper question is being asked, no, I can acknowledge its irrelevance depending on what use case you aspire for. It's a deflationary asset.

Look, even the beanie baby bubble was actually rational at first, there was a seemingly permanent supply chain issue that made them "deflationary" as well, all while demand was increasing. Did you all know that? The issuer solved the supply chain issue at the surprise to all and that's what cratered the market. Same for Tulips, the bubonic plague killed all the derivatives traders, we don't actually know what would have happened, and all of our current "bubbles" last wayyyy longer than the 3 months that tulip derivatives (and not the spot market) had high values - the demand dried up only because a virus killed everyone. Our best commodities bubbles are the worst examples of irrational exuberance to lean on. Here we are, Bitcoin crashing to $3,000 and then crashing upwards to $30,000, what's going to happen next hmmm

I guess it is true in this particular example, since 0 is a primitive and assigned by value. But what if you got it from an outside function, such as init(), and it was an object instead? Then you would have to guarantee that the return value of init() would not change between statements.

In the end this shows that JS is unequipped to handle such behavior without significant changes to the core language.
It’s bizarre the things they cook up to “attract” people to honeypots that many of those people would never venture to.

I'm writing this comment from the LC III using w3m over ssh :)
I went experimenting in a slightly different direction, there's usually a lot of concatenation going on in Javascript with e.g. array manipulation, so I decided to try to delay the `.then()` as much as possible. So instead of these:

const value = await Promise.all(data.map(op1))
.then(value => value.filter(op2))
.then(value => Promise.all(value.map(op3)));

// OR (a more readable version)
let value = await Promise.all(data.map(op1));
value = value.filter(op2);
value = await Promise.all(value.map(op3));

Now you can do this:

const value = await swear(data).map(op1).filter(op2).map(op3);

I integrated it with my other library `files`, where it's very useful out of the box:

const list = await read('data.csv').split('\n').map(...);
const readmes = await walk('readme.md').map(read);
