There was (and still is)a project called Bigloo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigloo) that was interesting by allowing to get C, JVM and .Net code from scheme programs. We were a Scheme shop and experimented a lot with MzScheme (our main implementation, Bigloo and Kawa)

P.S. regarding success stories for Scheme - we had a commercial product written in it, quite successful. I wrote the article about it in Russian - should be ok to read via google translate: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=http:...

> ... masters students at corn row colleges.

First time I've heard the term "corn row colleges". Google's not bringing up anything that looks relevant.

I suggest picking something else. Given that "cornrows" are a predominantly black hairstyle, the term reads like a racial slur.
I assumed from the article that most census taking was done online last year, do you know if there were fewer face-to-face surveys than in previous years?
ReverseSSH v1.1.0
Exactly! Suppose feature A is implemented (commit 1). Then it is discovered that the original implementation breaks feature B, and that is resolved (commit 2). In merge workflows, you have a merge commit on main, while commit 1 and 2 are maintained. In rebase/squash workflows, you have a single commit on main, with both changes. If 6 months later I find that the commit broke some feature C, I really want to know if it was the main change or the compatibility fix that did it.
That lack of polish and lack of improvement over the couple years I used Bitwarden are why I switched back to 1Password. Being open-source is not a free pass to ignore issues like that.
> you could equally shape it into a folded vertical curtain from a beam with pretty much the same parameters.

Attaching a beam at one end requires a more rigid structure which is more weight, which is exactly what I said the problem was several times.

> There never was an intention to put it elsewhere.

I just said you could lower weight by laying them flat at the equator. My point was simply that isn’t an option, therefore you they need extra support. Operating closer to the poles has both clear advantages and downsides, access to water is a big benefit but it’s not quite as obvious a choice as often assumed.

> Isnt this making the relatively huge assumption that humans and Apple's algorithms have the exact some opinion of what something "looks like"?

No. The visual derivative is designed to be matchable by human inspection.

Even if that was not true, which it is, the poster’s claim would still be false, since the poster doesn’t have access to the source CSAM and therefore would not be able to produce the visual derivative regardless of whether I could visually inspect it.

Being able to see by inspection that they images don’t match CSAM is one of two independent ways in which the claim can be shown to be false.
For me dev-ops is exemplified by:

1. Everything being scripted, reviewed and in the repo (no ad-hoc actions on prod)

2. Processes are ephemeral (containers)

Everything before that (VMs..) is in the age of the sys-admin.
You see, you can't pay rent or buy groceries with bank reserves but they sure do make it easier for banks to lend money. Someone has to borrow money before it can be spent.

I would also like to mention that the fiscal stimulus by the Biden administration had the intended/usual effect. You know, the thing that QE couldn't create: inflation. If there is an effective tool then the defective tool that distorts the economy can be thrown away.
No. They are addressing the subgroup of the first group of people, who you are ignoring:

* Those who haven't been infected who are wondering if they should not bother with the vaccine if getting infected provides durable immunity.

The answer to that is: the vaccine is orders of magnitude less dangerous than contracting the virus.

Just because you don't address every single group of people in a response does not mean that response is invalid or unimportant.
> The minute Facebook invented the news feed they became editors and content promoters.

Ok. If they are editors and publishers then perhaps the law should change so that should be treated like other content editors that exist already.

We could do this by treating them legally equal to things like the New York Times, with all the legal responsibilities, freedoms, and liabilities that such a thing entails.

And these companies that don't want to be treated like editors, then we could create new provisions in the law, that give them protections if they act like how the phone company acts.
You could draw a right angle triangle and notice that the squares match without being able to prove that.

I really want to believe this, because "once an addict, always an addict" has always sounded like an unsupported, junk-science, catchy thing to say, and not something based in reality. And I don't really want to believe (yes, I know this is an emotional take), that some people's brains are just fundamentally "broken" in a way that means they can't enjoy some nice things without destroying their health and relationships.

I think also the idea of addiction (or an "addictive personality") as this inherent, unchangeable thing just doesn't pass the smell test for me. Our understanding of the human brain is still pretty limited, and making a blanket statement like that just doesn't make sense.

I can certainly understand this attitude for practical reasons: if you can get an alcoholic to stop drinking, and stay sober for the rest of their life, yes, you've certainly solved that problem. But I also suspect you haven't solved some of the underlying issues (e.g. around anxiety, dealing with emotion, etc.) that probably led them to drink excessively and uncontrollably in the first place.

But I know very few people who have (to my knowledge) gone through this sort of thing, so while I can intellectually spout off what I believe to be true, it's not coming from a position of experience.

The only real data point I have that perhaps aligns with this article is my father, and this is only from what I was told (by him, decades later). In his teens and early 20s, he drank heavily (to the point of doing some pretty unsafe things), nearly every night of the week; he was friends with the bartenders at many of the local bars, and would stay after closing to continue drinking. But during my childhood, I'd only known him to have a beer or two at a family get-together or neighborhood block party, so I asked him what changed. He said that he wanted to marry my mom, and that required him to put all that behind him. She was ok with the occasional social drink, but binge drinking or any kind of drunkenness was not kosher. He told me all this when I was in my late 20s, while we were having dinner at a brewery... drinking beer, of course.
This seems reductive to the point of uselessness. Technically every situation involving communication includes the judgement of a human observer: to extend your argument, we may as well assert there is no non-colloquial understanding of basically any word.
We have it configured for https://docs.lowdefy.com

Really happy with the service it provides and the ease of implementation. Note that because the docs can take a few seconds to load, the their crawler times out and misses some content some of the time. With better page performance this should not be an issue.

Exactly, tech giants are now a natural monopoly, which means we should force them to provide more utility than they want to give in exchange for tolerating their privilege. Either that or break them up.

I don't think inflation is a problem at all; the Fed clearly has tools to keep inflation low.

Now... doing so might totally ruin the economy and eat all GDP growth, but that's the next generations problem.
>technical name

In an era where almost all viruses/diseases have been referred to by non-technical names, the rapid switch to a technical mouthful of “COVID-19” or “SARS CoV 2” is absolutely political.

I remember sitting at an airport last year watching newscasters denigrating the use of the term “Wuhan virus” as I had just walked past a sign warning about MERS (Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome) just on the other side of security. It felt other-worldly. Then, after the CCP PR campaign of using the technical term had fully caught on, all of same news stations called the original variants the “UK/Kent variant” and the “Indian variant” for weeks/months until they caught themselves and switched to the Greek alphabet. And like programming with too much abstraction and bad variable names, the new Greek alphabet names for the variants actually obscure useful information — you no longer know where the hotbed locations are for each variant, and you have go looking online for their origins, instead of just having that info in the name.

West Nile, Guinea Worm, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Lyme disease, Ross River fever, Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever, Ebola, MERS, Marburg Virus, Spanish Flu, Lassa Fever, Legionnaires Disease. All without fanfare or protest. Wuhan virus? Oh, no no no. That would look bad for the party. Can’t have that.

correct. I mean the only server for WWW ?
Why do you feel that, though?

My favorite counter example is "A Draft Sequence Of A Neandertal Genome". The article was accepted by both Nature and Science before it was written. The authors chose to publish in Science, because Science offered more on the side: the title page and an unlimited(!) number of "contributed" (this means unreviewed) companion papers. The article itself was about 20 pages of drivel; all the substantial content was relegated to the 200(!) pages of "Online Supplemental Material". Nobody ever read, let alone reviewed, all of that.

After that, I can't trust either Science or Nature, which offered pretty much the same crooked deal. If those two aren't "highest profile", who is?

It accepts Java bytecode, but various programming languages (Java, Kotlin, Scala, Clojure to name a few) are built on top of that.
Coroutines are present at the language and runtime level. Most languages with coroutines have runtimes baked in that handle them behind the scenes (think of JS), but some (like Rust) require you to provide your own. Async executors are quite large in terms of code size, so I think it would be useful for WASM to expose a coroutine interface for compilers to target. I think that not having to ship your asynchronous runtime would be very beneficial.
People can afford those absurd home prices. The bigger problem is that the previous owner of the land gets to extract a huge chunk of your labor by simply by owning the land.
That’s infeasible.

Do you expect to be able to press your own semiconductors?
It's not my experience. I do believe it's riskier than simply abstaining long-term. You are, in fact, reminding yourself of something you found so compelling once that it derailed your life. But personally, I have been addicted to amphetamine and alcohol/benzodiazepines badly enough in the past, that I could not discontinue them suddenly due to the severity of the withdrawal. Yet in recent years I have felt able to get drunk at a party for example, without serious cravings in the weeks that follow. And I'm back on amphetamines for ADHD which I take to schedule. I won't lie though; the thought of taking two pills instead of one does occur to me not infrequently. The temptation is probably always there once you know what it's like. But my experience is that no, it doesn't automatically derail necessarily.
> Edit: keep bringing those freethinker(tm) downvotes. It won't change the law one bit, but I guess it gives good feels.

Freedom to comment is not freedom to not be downvoted into oblivion. You can complain but we'll grey that one, as well. There's lesson in the irony.
> Machine code doesn't have "coroutine support" either yet all languages with coroutine support run just fine on regular CPUs.

Yes and no.

Some ISAs do have real "co-instructions" that would be executed concurrently to the "main" program, for example Lisp Machines use this approach for executing bounds-checking concurrently, as well as other kinds of validation/assertions (and even had a limited form of hardware time-travel to jump-back to before a co-processor exception occurred).

This approach died out due to the complexity of implementation.
That will help with the flooding but not with the windfall.

The only thing I can think of for windfall is living with a much stronger roof over your head.
I mean, it's the reason the benchmark is slower, because the benchmark is comparing doing 2 things with only doing one of those things -- this is virtually tautological.

So I agree that it is why it's slower, but I also agree that it's a mistake. This is the "hard part" about synthetic benchmarks. This one is measuring something people rarely do: creating an anonymous function and calling it in a tight loop.

It's extremely unlikely you're ever going to run into a situation where creating this lambda is in a hot path, and if you do the thing you did wrong is very unlikely to be whether you used a standard library function or one you defined yourself. It's that you have a loop where you did almost nothing but create a lambda every iteration instead of, say, passing it to a map/fold function or whatever.
Nowadays too many real blogs are padded with weird phrasing and sentences which don't really mean anything.

In this case, sometimes you get lucky and can actually find meaningful information between the padding. But sometimes you just read an article that takes 5 paragraphs and 500 words to say "we don't know".
By feature you mean what would have been called a malware once, the only difference is that instead of being a crap plugin installed by mistake in IE it is now pushed by microsoft itself?
Length of PhD programs is an indicator that should be considered in context. UK Universities, for example, often have research PhD programs that take 3 years to complete and they are legitimate.

It was only intended to say in a nutshell "When you have a situation where people think it's appropriate to strap bombs to children, things are extremely ugly."

I didn't really want to go into a whole lot of details. The ugliness of war is not really directly on topic and I try harder than I used to to make my point in a way that shouldn't require trigger warnings.
Wow the language in this article... Don't think I've seen something so disrespectful from an official magazine before.

Maybe a stupid question but I've never learned much about parity and this sounds like a good opportunity. Can you give some definitions? Are you talking about error checking parity or 'evenness' parity?

I'm guessing the last one since that's what fits your LSB comment(when using 'evenness' not 'oddness'). But in that case I'm not sure your example is doing, my python might be too rusty but is it something like: get the unicode representation(int) of each character in a string, xor the results and get the LSB?
I think the author forgets that edge is not custom software written just for him. It is written for the masses. And masses like me like this feature.

> "That is highly debatable. Most of the world does not appreciate US imperialism."

Then I'll happily debate you and say that most of the word does appreciate US peacekeeping and aid. It's easy to throw around the imperialism word without context. What would you call the Belt and Road initiative by China which now practically owns Africa? And who do you think will defend against it when that situation escalates?
Humans and chimps share 98% of their DNA, We also share like 84% with pigs.

I don't know why social media companies haven't tried letting users opt out of different categories of censorship.

Presumably every user appreciates the anti-spam filtering these sites do, and anti-scam/phishing, but there should be a separate checkbox (ticked by default) for "Remove misinformation about covid/vaccines", and one for "Remove misinformation claiming the election was stolen", etc.

Then the social media companies can say to governments "If you would like all users in your jurisdiction to be unable to opt out from these categories, please pass a law requiring us to hardcode these settings for them, and we'll update our UIs to tell users why they can't opt out."

Better yet, the social media companies should say to governments "Please provide your own list of which posts are misinformation, and we'll make sure that users see a blank page saying 'Your government has deemed this post to be misinformation' instead of the content they want".

> Odd critique coming from the head of a DNS company, that could easily offer a competitive service with MailChimp.

I think you missed the author's point. His point is not that someone needs to start a competing service. his point is that the feel that tech companies are patricians rather than plumbers is widespread and common place.
Did not know about MeiliSearch. Looks really great! Thanks for sharing.
Javascript as bytecode (or Javascript as assembly) is a paradigm that comes from compile-to-js languages like Typescript and asm.js[0], considering such "compiled" javascript as equivalent to a universal bytecode. Here's an old HN thread about it [1,2] and if you look around you can find it being asserted[3] as often as criticised[4,5].

Ironically, many of the arguments against the use of JS as bytecode just got transplanted into arguments against WASM, but one common argument against WASM is "why do we need this when we can already compile to javascript?"

Burning fossil fuels is the main issue with CO2 emissions because that it adds CO2 into the atmosphere by releasing carbon that was sequestrated underground.

On the other hand, burning renewable plant matter is pretty much neutral: The plant absorbs carbon from the atmosphere while growing and that carbon is released back into the atmosphere when the plant is essentially burned to release energy.

The main problem with biofuels is that they may compete with other crops for land, etc. But if they are produced from plant waste that was already being produced anyway then they are a pretty good option.

This looks like a feature that's existed since last November: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/introducing-...
it's partly why I think physical exercise and education should be mandatory with a focus on higher performance floor and well being.

It's like your car.. if one part fails the system will compensate globally by absorbing the issue in every possible way but it leads to what you had. Tiny issues spread everywhere. When you restore balance your life gets so much easier.
In the end a lot of features end up being single commits. Crafting commits is hard if one wants perfect commits and most of us don't have time to do that.

If I implement text-box with a save button there is no way I can functionally commit "working change" where I only have a text-box or have a save button separately.

There is nothing wrong with that I believe. I think there is much more wrong with insisting on keeping "history" so people think that their "whoops" or "wip" are important.
Impossible is Nothing – Logistics Plus (2017)
Should big internet companies by plumbing and not exert control over content on their system? As much as it annoys me some of the things Google, for example, does exercising the power they have, it does have the right to control what is on there, to some extent. As I interpret it, I think the OP is saying it is not right to censure, but I am not sure how this applies to a private company and content on their own system.

I agree a big company shouldn't have _complete_ power to control content on their site for reasons the OP says because at some point this becomes a danger to society. At the same time it is a danger to society to freely let users promote whatever content they want, for the same reasons.

For all the examples or people who have been persecuted (or whatever word would fit better) for saying the "truth", like scientist who said the earth was not at the center of the universe, there are countless others who, for the better, were quieted from issueing harmful information.

The OP says people should be taught a lesson in critical thinking, but I don't think this is a problem. I think most people are pretty logical, they are just dealing with misinformation, no matter what "side" they are on.

So this is a real problem. It is good the OP raises these questions, but I don't think it has the solution.
