Maybe? But there was enough demand for other languages/capabilities that the Java and Flash plugins existed.

At the peak of the browser wars I'd have expected this to be something tried to get mindshare (or maybe it was and didn't work well enough that I ever heard about it?)

Edit: E.g. HTML 4 spec (at least) offers text/tcl as a plausible language value. Did anyone ever offer that? Surely someone must have supported text/lisp as well at least briefly :)
Actively avoiding social interaction even when it is causing the person to stagnate in their career or have family issues. Not needing to apologize for or otherwise address situations where the person said something legitimately mean. Obsessing over something to the point that other basic life functions get ignored.

That's a few examples, but the general trend (and this isn't specific to the ASD community, I just read those pages more often) is that any deficit that relates to the disorder can be completely excused even if the person makes no reasonable effort to mitigate. And anything that could possibly be spun as a positive (and in some outlier cases may indeed be a positive) will be excessively praised.

This of course doesn't reflect everyone's opinions, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually just a vocal minority. But it's having a broader effect on attitudes inside and outside the community.

See also depression pages that push back on things which could legitimately help because none of them are a cure all (e.g. exercise).

Edit: to address the hearing loss point you added I was just using an expression. The point is that whether it is good to be deaf is objectively not debatable, nobody (outside of those wrapped up in deaf culture) would want to make themselves deaf. Just because an arbitrary deaf person could be happier than an arbitrary hearing person doesn't mean that the deafness doesn't impair them relative to their own baseline.

Ironically, that misconception is something some people with disabilities have had to fight! High IQ individuals with learning disabilities do well enough in school that they are often ignored, despite the fact they could do even better if they were taught how to manage their shortcomings. The comparison has to be made to yourself longitudinally, not to others.

When there is no good treatment available there's some argument for the sort of positive attitude you are describing, but it makes no sense when it leads people to avoid help.
Do any of you have some data to back it up or just some anecdotes and stories? The poster claimed this was a tradition and the goal of owning property, so surely there’s some documentation of this being a global phenomenon?
...also, being health-care workers, these 11,500 people were virtually guaranteed to be around someone sick with covid-19 more than a member of the general population.
Arguably, at some point in the past, this would have been an obscure story and she'd still be in an Italian jail cell.

I sort of disagree though that someone like her couldn't drop out of the public eye if she wanted to. There are tradeoffs to be sure but it seems pretty possible.

Code Contracts Propagate Requirements
It is a shame yes, and I certainly don't want to invalidate your wife's experience, I'm sure it was a really crap experience and difficult for her business.

I do see a lot of people extrapolating from what is essentially individual customer support up to company customer support. It's not far off extrapolating from a bad experience as an Amazon customer to AWS being a bad option – a comparison I don't often see being made.

I've seen terrible support from AWS on reasonably sized contracts, and I've seen good support from GCP on small contracts. While it's true that on average Amazon's consumer level support is better than Google's, and it may be true that AWS's support is often better than GCP's, these are not hard rules and I think the reality is that GCP is much better than many AWS users give it credit for.

Plus we're only talking about support here! I find GCP a far better product than AWS, but that's a bigger discussion.
That's why it's so important for us to come to terms with how we view privilege. Society currently only thinks a limited set of things - parental wealth, social status, skin color, etc. - are forms of privilege and we should work to reduce them (currently in the name of "equity"). Once society starts to understand that everything is privilege we need to rethink how we treat privilege, else we will continue destroying one another in the name of equity. Hard work, intelligence, willpower, perseverance are, at the root, all genetic. Environmental factors may influence these traits, but how you react to environmental factors is also genetic...unless you believe in religious concepts such as free will.

We need to stop treating privilege as something that needs to be corrected and instead focus on helping those most in need. The logical conclusion of equity is nothingness (if that's even a thing). Stopping short of that is simply giving more to one side at the expense of the other.
This almost reads like satire or something. This is kinda unintentionally hilarious:

> "Raw is designed for people who intend to spend a lot of time twiddling with one image at a time. For these applications I use large format 4x5" film instead for much better quality, thus you see why I don't use raw."

> The latest study does have drawbacks. It is based on a small number of cases among young and healthy adults, which limits its application, says Andrew Fiore-Gartland, a biostatistician at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington.

The IQ test wars: why screening for intelligence is still so controversial
As someone with a form of high-functioning autism and multiple family members with autism (some very much not high-functioning), I hard agree with serverholic's point above. While some of my personality characteristics may be related to my autism, and those personality characteristics might have enhanced or enabled my engineering career, in general it's a seriously disabling problem that massively impacts my quality of life. I spent most of my youth seeing professionals and just begging to be normal.

I don't want anyone celebrating my condition, I want you to treat me the same way you'd treat anyone else, including being critical if I behave in a socially unacceptable way. It's a critical feedback loop that's improved my life over time, albeit slowly. I'm now in a committed long-term relationship, work in a management role in tech that is built on relationship-building, and have overcome many of my anxieties. If I'd been coddled this never would have happened, god forbid my oddities had been celebrated.

Autism is a disorder, if there's a cure for it or even anything that's proven to resolve common symptoms, that would be a blessing for the world. The new model of sociology has had deleterious effects on medical research, and we need as much research as possible into misunderstood conditions, not less.

It's interesting, seems like all the places that avoided the virus early on are getting it now. like a fire finding fresh kindling to burn.

I have some experience with older financial and edu systems, and it's definitely a different perspective (from my perspective).

If you have a system that's been modified to handle every edge case encountered in the last decade, and it works, and other people rely on it to do their work, your perspective switches to maintaining the environment the system operates in.

You're looking at automation continuously built around processes that might predate electricity. The interfaces are ingrained into the organization. Other organizations rely on these interfaces and sometimes there are legal responsibilities.

It's a longer-term perspective. Tech debt isn't a crisis, it's an eventuality you try to encapsulate.

I've noticed something about news media, and it may just be confirmation bias, but journalists really like to associate Tesla with fires.

Electrical fires aren't rare, especially when there is a lot of energy involved. Heck, the pass-through or whatever in my office building from the solar panels caught fire and it was dealt with without a news article about it.

Mozilla is basically forced to do whatever Google wants at this point. Firefox doesn't have the marketshare to influence standards, and if it doesn't maintain feature compatibility with Chrome, websites will drop Firefox support, and Firefox will loose even more marketshare and have even less influence.

Mozilla quite clearly didn't want to implement EME, for example, but they couldn't afford for Firefox to not work with Netflix!

Apple has more freedom than Mozilla precisely because Safari users can't just switch to another browser. And for as much as I find that abhorrent and anti-competitive... if Apple is going to retain so much power anyway, I'm at least happy they're using it to prevent Google's total dominance.
Why Do Variants Such as Delta Become Dominant?

Do we have any evidence this is due to a genetic difference? Antibodies are an immune system response, and the immune system is a learning system. Past history has a big (and complex and hard to predict) impact on how it responds to things. It could be genetic I suppose, but my guess is it would not be.
Quoted from the article: “I genuinely do not know who I am supposed to have identified or which phrases I published are said to have identified them, in combination with [details] in the public domain.”

This sounds really bad, until you see that the court did point to specific blog posts. His position apparently hinges on the fact that specific phrases were not picked out from a handful of blog posts. It seems to me that the relevant facts that were revealed could be enumerated quite easily from that list of blog posts.

Victims are protected for a reason. This guy seems like a bit of a bastard.
There's no single Chinese censorship program. Every company has their own process for deleting content, and they don't always make the same decisions. At least the biggest platforms definitely use a lot of automation.

E.g. I follow Professor Hu Fanzhu of East China Normal University's National Discourse Ecology Research Center on WeChat. A week ago, he published an article "Nine questions about Zhengzhou" that appeared in my feed, but displayed the message that it couldn't be sent because it might be inappropriately using the names of government institutions or employees. This was probably automated.

Then he republished it as "Nine questions about ZZ", which displays the message that it was taken down after being reported by users.

He's now switched to publishing a series of articles (five so far, here's the first: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Rf2t5cRoHJGh8Yb-3fFXSA ) of which the second was taken down, again mentioning user reports as the reason. But I actually managed to read that one before it disappeared.

To generalize a bit, any new event escapes censorship at first, because neither automated systems nor human reviewers have been instructed to censor it. Once the censors are aware, new keywords like "Zhengzhou" can be added to the filter lists. But those are easy to get around by using different words, so humans are still needed to clean up the rest. And it can take them a long time to do so, during which tens of thousands of people may have read something the government didn't want them to know about.
> Do you now how many battery stations we need to plaster on earth?

Global power consumption is at ~23TWh. To make it through the night on nothing but solar, you'd need about 1/3th of that dedicated to batteries (Likely a lot less though due to wind, hydro, and nuclear production) So ~8 TWh of storage on the extreme end. Roughly 8000x our current battery deployments.

A lot, but not really crazy.

> how many not yet invented technologies we need to get to significant renewable

0. There are no technologies needed for significant renewable deployment. About the only thing needed is manufacturing capacity. Solar efficiency is crazy high as is wind which has driven cost/watt way down. Battery prices have similarly fallen off a cliff (and are still falling), which makes that extremely feasible at this point.

New tech will make the whole transition cheaper, but certainly isn't needed to get things switched over.

> which we could get for free if we could turn half of our coal plants off?

Ok.. but that solves only the power generation problem and runs smack dab into the politics problem. Wanting to turn off coal doesn't make it happen.

> 'unrealistic' to advocate that people replace beef with chicken and air travel with a train?

Yes, because you are talking about winning over a huge diverse group of people. Going to mars requires one rich asshole to invest in mars travel. He doesn't have to convince millions to change their habits or minds.

Realism is realizing that you can't control others thoughts or behaviors. An excellent example of this is what's happening with COVID.

You want to tell me it's realistic to convince people to give up their favorite foods when getting people to just wear masks is seen as a breach of liberty or whatever garbage?

Come on. The amount of rational people is FAR too low to realistically expect that sort of pleading to work.
A small amount of malaise, drowsiness, arm tenderness, and subclinical fever are expected after any vaccine. It's most probable that you did have symptoms but didn't notice them because you're a normal, active person with other things to think about.

But having zero symptoms, if that was the case, is unusual. It'd be interesting to have your blood tested for antibodies.
Thanks for your opinion fucking fuggitive bitch.

> I bought a 34" monitor for a reason! Give me information density!

Indeed. Imagine an architect or a chip engineer or someone using some audio tool or a trader or someone using a spreadsheet working on a phone with "lost of white space" in the UI.

I understand that people reading tweets and watching TikTok videos may like "lots of whitespace" but anybody doing real work need information density.

All these things may be true, but even then, at least he was there at the Assange trial. No other source was a as diligent or up to date with their reporting, even if it was biased.

Even if you believe all these bad things about him, I don't believe someone should be jailed for reporting in general. In specific, I don't see how the facts support a conviction - the way the argument for "jigsaw" identification of witnesses was used could apply to any and all reporting about a court case. No reasonable standard was used (in my opinion).

Do you think it's alright to put someone in jail because you don't like them?
“Specialization can be a financial trapdoor.”

So it seems I accidentally nuked my Macbook pro two nights ago after my dog spilled a glass of water on my nightstand and splashed some onto MBP- I thought it was an indirect hit, but the next morning I plugged it in and appeared to have shorted some stuff out internally, and even worse- it seems to have shorted out my thunderbolt monitor too.

So I was forced to just use my Macbook Air, and I was preparing for a massive productivity hit, and tbh- I think it may have actually helped a bit- I don't think we realize how much we get distracted by having email and slack or whatever open all the time, and just being able to focus on one task at a time visually was actually kind of a relief.

Long term, I am going to want monitors back and all, but I think there is a real benefit to keeping the things that are not 100% your attention at that moment entirely minimized and out of view.
We had a lot of those concerns too. We're here to build a sustainable business (really the only kind of business). We have zero interest in hyperscaling something that isn't viable. We started with categories with minimal tail risk (for example, we're not doing whole home construction), and have had good success. We also limit our exposure through agreements on scope.
Aye, perhaps using the word "capitalism" set people off. In capitalist terms the demand for the product by consumers justifies the corporation creating the product for them. It might not be "right" or "wrong", but in this case, it does seem like people are on the side of it being morally unjustified despite the profit incentive.

I guess our capitalist "vote" is simply not paying to see this film.
Not quite. There would be no JS. The WebAudio API is implemented in Rust. You would just use the innards (buffers, audio graph etc.) and leave it as a Rust framework.

LabSound [0] has done something similar with C++ and WebKit. They took the WebAudio implementation and made it into a C++ framework.

Unless you had a second test, it's also highly likely that you had a false positive test, especially since the incidence of COVID in the population is still not that high

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes%27_theorem

Read the section on drug testing to see what I mean. The probability of false positives when doing mass testing of mostly healthy individuals is much higher than you would intuit, so it's very possible that you never had the pathogen at all
Back in the day of 2001, I was working on the hugely cross-platform Zeus Web Server. It served the whole selection of UNIX platforms: https://web.archive.org/web/20011208194616/http://www.zeus.c...

We certainly had an Itanium build as well, although it doesn't appear on that list, which suggests that it never sold. But it's notable how many of those platforms are effectively dead and only the open source ones on x86 are left standing - and OSX, which deliberately has no server platform.

That era was when people were just starting to realise how much more cost-effective OSS+X86 was. That is what ate the server and workstation markets, especially once people started to horizontally scale and "the cloud" appeared.

The only orgs left with the capacity to choose a new platform and make it cost-effective for the world are basically FAANG+M. And which one of them bought a fabless semi company full of RISC designers from all those dead instruction sets? Apple.
So, is the whole thing destroyed, part of it?

Pretty bad journalism there.
Using cash for in-person purchases isn't really an inconvenience for myself (living in the U.S.). I think that is a decent first step.

Also using an email provider that only does email and not advertising isn't too hard (I use Fastmail). If you're looking for potentially more privacy, maybe something like ProtonMail.

Not giving out your email address or phone number or any other info that you don't have to will help a lot. When I do buy stuff online and the form requires a phone number, I put in the business's own phone number or some unusable number. At stores or doctors' offices I leave forms blank.

Using a VPN (Calyx) and ad/tracking blockers is very easy to do. Using Linux isn't too hard.

So, yes, decent privacy is achievable. Perfect privacy is not.
The paragraph is very poorly written (as is much of the article) but it's essentially trying to point out that the "brain based" approach to mental differences doesn't really have a cleaner history than the fuzzy, socially-focused, 'psy' approach.

The whole article reads like pointless nitpicking to me; there's plenty to criticize about the neurodiversity movement but it's very implausible that most of its advocates wouldn't be very clearly aware of the points OP is trying to make. The overall approach OP is trying to push here seems rather disingenuous, tbh.
> His commentary on the Assange trial was so overwhelmingly and obviously biased that it was impossible to derive any useful objective information

I don't know anything about his other works, but AFAIK he was the only one reporting what was going on in detail during Assange's trial. I respect him for that.

I read criticism similar to yours before, but I can't shake a simple question: if there are better reporters out there, where were they during the trial?
