For binary size you could use my hypothetical theorem prover ensuring a binary size below a certain point.

That would come at some kind of compile time or efficiency cost since you couldn’t anymore optimise for those but I’m sure that’s something one could opt for.

I don’t think binary size matters though.
Storage is very cheap these days.
Rust is likely used more in industry than you think, you just have to look for it.
Interested in hearing how you obtained the proprietary training material for this algo from Apple. Can we see it?

Also which teams at apple made the algorithm? Since you claim to know they were all 'white'.

In reality, I'm sure everyone working on this team was well aware of these potentials for training set bias before most of us even knew what ML was.

Even if this was considered it'd be pretty risque to have an employee dedicate time specifically to differentiating black ppl from apes in the algorithm.
We have to get smarter and notice we’re being manipulated.

Watch this debate. Both sides agree the New York Times sacrifices integrity now for engagement, because its drives revenue. It is only a debate of degree.

They perfected this formula under Trump. Exaggerations and lies about people enrage both sides, one at the target and the other at the media. Ragebait is such a perfect term too because it is designed to enrage as many people as possible on all sides.

And it works. Just this morning there were 4 different discussions about Ivermectin on Hacker News.

JS is already very popular in finance, decimal types aren’t always needed for monetary values, floats are often fine (or computations can be done on the backend).
Might be nice to just have extra PTO, which is a bit more flexible than a 4 day workweek. You could go from the current 5ish weeks of vacation in Europe to around 15 weeks per year. I wouldn't mind working 5 days a week during fall/winter/spring if it meant taking all summer off. I'm sure society would find a way to adjust to it. Less work would get done in the summer and more in the winter.

Hating an ex is a misogynistic act? Surely some women also hate their exes?
That's not really how it works. We have a decent model of physics where the LHC does not collapse the universe, and that model doesn't rely on the anthropic principle; for the LHC to be able to collapse the universe, fundamental laws of physics would have to have been different, which isn't just “the timeline”.

I know quantum physics is weird, but there are still regular ol' real-valued probability estimates too.
The thing is other customers and potential customers do care.
... Imagine, if you will, a parallel universe in which there had been no Burning Man.

One day, you read an article about people who gather in the middle of the desert and burn a woman in effigy and call their event Burning Woman. The article neutrally describes the event: gift economy, participatory culture, light art, costumes, shirt-cockers, maybe drugs. It's Burning Man, but in this universe, the exact same event just happens to be called Burning Woman.

Would there be accusations of misogyny, credible enough to shut down the event, or no?
Because despite all the pseudo spiritual bullshit, most attendees of Burning Man are just extravagant people that do not care about its environmental cost. They just want to see shit burn.

If you have "spiritual" problems, throwing a Halloween party in the desert is not going to do shit for you.

Flying people from all corners of the planet to gather somewhere is never going to be carbon neutral.

Flying from coast to coast has the same carbon footprint of burning trash for an entire year. Then, burning massive amounts of shit once you arrive has an even higher footprint.

Perfect timing, for once. In 2019, I jumped onto the Sonos train, got rid of a bunch of old hardware, (finally) replaced my desktop with a ThinkPad X1. In early 2020 (before the first lockdown) I completely redid my little "home office", investing in 4 combinable tables, a new 8-channel USB soundcard, a MIDI controller, and some more stuff I should always have had... Two weeks after I managed to clean out the apartment from old tables and stuff, lockdown came. In summer 2020, I finally got the long-overdue replacement for one of our HPC clusters at work. Neitzer at work nor at home do I plan to invest any money into hardware in the next two years. Sure, it might sound easy from where I am to say that, but I find this period of the world a perfect time to do some consume consolidation. Looking back, I surely spent a bit too much on hardware over the last 20 years. Thats fine in the first few years of your career, because after all, those are not just toys, they actually help you acquire knolwedge. However, after a time, it somehow becomes silly. If I am true to myself, there is really nothing I need right now. And I guess that applies to more people then just me.
cron applies this very method of attempting to handle state by merely being a daemon, and it's not enough because cron can crash.

> there is no connection between hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin

You mean a connection like being pushed as a cure for the same disease while lacking any substantial, peer-reviewed data to back it up?

I think maybe we have different ideas of how science and the scientific method works.

> For what it’s worth, I’m not referring to that paper.

So you're not referring to any science at all, then? I'm unable to find any other published literature on the subject.
The western settlers were a quite diverse group. Many came from the South. They certainly didn’t all come from a narrow group in one region of the northeast? This is...basic history.
This is an interesting issue. Lets say all major hosting companies refuse to host this shitty website. Personally I will be okay with it, in this particular case. But what happens if/when the same companies refuse to host something that I support? That will make me unhappy and a hypocrite, I suppose.

Not saying Godaddy is right or wrong here. Just that this is a slippery slope.
> "And you'd be foolish to assume that cancellation is a thing of the left. What happened to Colin Kaepernick? Or republicans that dared to impeach Trump? McCarthyism? Cancel culture is a tactic that conservatives have used for decades now, only recently adopted by the left."

Is that an admission that the current left is on the same moral footing than the McCarthyites? All this time, I had hope we'd risen above that but if that is so, it's even more cause for those who identify as liberal to abandon and repudiate the left.
People move to improve their life! If the want family ties, they can stay put, but historically they want a better, higher paying jobs and escape from racial or religious prejudices of their old surroundings.

While I agree with the general sentiment, the first example in the article IMO demonstrates how "what" comments make understanding code easier. When I first read that code, I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to understand everything going on there, even though I had no familiarity with the code base. This is rare for non-trivial projects. I'm not sure if it could be made as clear without those comments.
> a man publicly dying is a pillar of Christianity

OT, I am not deeply familiar with any particular religion, but do you have more information on this, or perhaps why it is a pillar? Do other religions not have something similar in their [historical/current] practices?
How about not opening the gates for third parties to inject ads, trackers and crypto miners
I like meta comments about the business or technical decisions behind the code. You can come up with clever method and variable names to help enlighten the reader, but nothing beats an intimate, first-hand account explaining the why.
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/is-gender-identity-biologi... and https://www.kqed.org/futureofyou/the-biological-roots-of-gen... are good overviews.

Case studies like David Reimer are pretty definitive, in my opinion.
This practice of injecting Rust in every conversation no matter the topic, is getting tiresome.
Acid Communism and the American Civic Religion
Long story. See the linked article. There's a minor industry in Israel, and in Brooklyn, NY selling "kosher" stuff that has nothing to do with food, but is rabbi-approved. There's strong group social pressure and coercion to use only approved items.

This spills over into the larger community in strange ways. In Brooklyn, there is strong opposition to bike lanes through ultra-orthodox neighborhoods. Bike lanes encourage people to ride through in scandalous form-fitting outfits.
I agree, font is squished, and for some reason performance is terrible, causes Opera (chrome) to freeze up on refocusing the tab
true; but in the devops world, you absolutely have to keep learning new things constantly. There's always new tools. It's even a hazard that you get too distracted learning new things to be effective at the old stuff, and I've seen that drive horrible decisions to adopt new technologies with no driving business need, just because the engineers want that on their resume. There does need to be a happy medium.
I agree. People are doing the wrong thing by taking horse-sized doses, and should be careful with drugs that are not prescribed to them. The way you're phrasing things would be a much more understandable message that would not push people further away.

The question of whether or not to take things not prescribed to you is another question I suppose. LSD is an illegal drug but helps a lot of people. Ivermectin is widely, widely used and safely at that. Not being prescribed is not the same as being dangerous, so when it comes to self-medication my personal belief is that it is acceptable to work outside those boundaries, so long as you're being knowledgable and safe about it. (Which a lot of people are not doing in this case.)
People keep saying that. I have 1.8 GiB available for all my build files, and that's only because I keep deleting the build files of my other projects (meaning they have to be recompiled whenever I go back to them). Storage matters for me.

At least the prices are almost normal again, now that Chia's over.
> You mean a connection like being pushed as a cure for the same disease while lacking any substantial, peer-reviewed data to back it up?

If you believed in science you’d know that’s a political connection not a scientific one.

> I think maybe we have different ideas of how science and the scientific method works.

Yes, you are mistaking politics for science.

More edits you dishonestly added after my reply:

“So you're not referring to any science at all, then? I'm unable to find any other published literature on the subject.”
Based on current data? I have no idea. It's an absolute mess:

For a start, we could stop making claims that we don't know to be true. Replace "the vaccine is safe and effective, and if we all get the vaccine the pandemic will be over" with "the vaccine is the best tool we have to prevent serious disease and death".

Wait, wait, wait.

So one vocal minority with outsized power ("Texas right to life") is upset that an even smaller minority (a single hosting company!) is giving them the boot? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

And how is this a bad thing? This is the free market! Doesn't GoDaddy have the right to decide who they host?
It doesn’t say that licensors can’t impose any restrictions whatsoever. It says:

> You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License.

The GPL grants the legal right to distribute. Meaning, you can’t be held liable for copyright infringement if you distribute it.

GPL projects can and usually do limit the people who can participate in their project. This is completely legal.
> The developer retains all rights to previous,...

Developer can't retains rights granted with previous versions of "Symbola".
Yeah they should have said.

"Stop buying masks. There is a shortage and if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk! Since we live in a very capitalistic society we cannot reserve masks for healthcare use and instead we have to rely on all of you to do the right thing. Keep in mind that masks may not offer the kind of protection you think they do, i.e. they do not make you invincible, you're still advised to stay at home and keep social distancing. When supply of masks will be restored we will likely encourage people to wear them as to reduce community (probabilistic) spread, which works even if the masks are not 100% effective."

Unfortunately nobody would read things that don't fit in a tweet.
How is it ANY different from the current situation other than your own personal opinion? Moving the goal posts doesn't help your argument.

This isn't very convincing. What makes your position non-political or more scientific? Talk about dishonesty.
The web server(s) at antirez.com are weirdly configured. So it’s not so easy for the web browser to display a very clear error message in this case.

If you run this command you can see a little more clearly what’s going on:

wget --no-check-certificate -S -O - https://antirez.com/news/124

If you use the plain HTTP URL, everything works fine.

If you try https://antirez.com/news/124 the web server at antirez.com:443 will answer this:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx/1.10.2

Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 185

So it’s not HTTPS Everywhere that redirects, it’s the web server itself.

However, many clients won’t heed this response, since antirez.com:443 serves a certificate that’s not valid for that hostname.
Can you at least link to an official recommendation from the CDC so we can talk about the same thing?

So far the only link I've seen is a tweet (not an official recommendation) from the surgeon general (not the CDC).
Do you run your own business? That's the only way I can understand someone choosing to work 6-7 days/week for months. I'm an employee at a FANG and have been there long enough where I effectively just work 4 day weeks for most of the year by taking Monday's off, and I am literally just as productive as I was when I worked 5 days.
Either one has the agency to make and agree to a contract or one does not. There is no in-between. If one holds that every agreement is either directly or indirectly coercive, then we come to the conclusion that no normal human being is ever free. That the only people who truly have choices are clairvoyants and that the rest are as unqualified and naive as children. Obviously, I reject that.

While choice is not without context, that context is individually determined by the one's interests and rational faculties. One doesn't know what he doesn't know. However a person still has the freedom to to take a calculated risk if he deems the payoff worth it. That a person doesn't need to know everything to exercise his agency is what demonstrates choice exists and is not simply the rationalization that you claim it is.

As far as ownership is concerned, why in your view is that direct or indirect coercion? Why is buying or owning something force?

"parallel computing" has been the next big thing several times since Cray; but it never "died out", it just keeps grinding on the fact that human thoughts are pretty serial, and our computers mostly encode and track with our thinking.
You can refuse service to someone because you don't like the color of their shirt

Interesting. Isn't this a loophole? If I am the baker in question, can I refuse to bake the cake citing the shirt color instead of the real reason, which is that I am homophobic? (I am not, just asking a hypothetical question)

>3) Minorities cannot achieve the same scores in math and science

No.

Nice try but I don't buy it. I'll entertain the idea, "if you ruin early education along racial lines you produce disparity of outcomes and this is racist", but I'm not going to sit still for "minorities cannot achieve the same scores in math and science", and especially not for framing it like that's the fundamental issue and what to DO about it is the only concern. That axiom is busted, fake, made up by self-justifying racists… and racist, yes.
Just because California is a blue state, doesn't mean it's uniformly blue. Trump received more votes from California than any other state (6 million vs 5.89 million in Texas [1]). There are a lot of pockets of very staunch conservatives in California.

But, yeah, it still tends to be the liberals who are the worst NIMBYs. That's just a result of them believing markets are unable to solve the problem.

People aren't asking you to call them "your royal highness" though. It's typically "he", "she", or "they" 99% of the time, words you already use to refer to people. People are just giving you the right mapping rather than hoping your heuristics get it right. I appreciate this especially in situations when my heuristics fail, and if you meet enough people they fail often enough to create noticeable social friction. As the world becomes more interconnected, this friction is appreciable, and can be alleviated easily by just adding pronouns to the formalities of introducing one's self. When we meet, I already tell you my name. You tell me yours, and I wouldn't presume to just call you whatever I want. It would signal I don't appreciate you or consider you worthy of remembering. The same is true for pronouns. If I tell you I want to be called "they" and you decide you'd rather call me "she", it's the same level of indifference as if I tell you my name is "Sue" and you insist on calling me "Sam."

They aren't asking for special treatment either -- I think everyone in your life appreciates that you refer to them using their personally preferred gender pronouns, rather than ones you might prefer for arbitrary reasons. Go ahead and switch around the pronouns you use with people in your life, and see how those people react. Trans people and non binary people are just asking you to use the pronouns they prefer, the same as everyone asks and expects.
He's talking about Jesus being crucified. The whole religion is named after the guy.
If you are not into trans women, the onus is on you to disclose that, not on the trans woman. This is because there is a long history of violence against trans women who disclose it, so as a cis man you need to do your part.
If that’s true why not change the name then to Burning Person or something gender neutral, maybe just Burning?
Sure, and as far as I can tell, that is basically the position of GoDaddy as well. I just banged away at the whois database and they appear to be the registrar for prolifeacrossamerica.org, for instance. It's perfectly okay to be anti-abortion and do business with GoDaddy. It's just not okay to host a dox registry exposing the HIPAA-protected information of your neighbors.

How is what any different?

What position have I claimed is non-political or more scientific?
I am from Detroit and moved to a better job and life in the Bay Area as soon as I was able (in 1985). Housing was expensive but the cost was worth it.
Yes, the OG Unix file system simply had a fixed-size (at partition time, this is still the case for ext4 and XFS iirc) array of struct inode on the disk, and the inode number (iirc it was just idx or something like that in the code) is simply the index into that array. An OG Unix directory was simply a file with the directory flag set and the file was just an array of struct { char name[30]; int ino; } (~something like that). You actually used to be able to just open() a directory and directly read directory entries (dirents henceforth) from it, just like a file - exactly like a file, because it WAS a file.

ext and XFS still largely work like this, though directories are now hashtables and I think XFS supports multiple independent arrays for inodes (or just for extent allocation? I don't remember). NTFS also looks a lot like a Unix file system with some weird growths on it, and not a whole lot like FAT.
Yes the font is completely unreadable on mobile.
While it is obviously not unrelated to the pandemic chaos, there is a deeper issue. As Nassim Taleb has often pointed out, the same things that make a system "efficient" also can often be viewed as making it fragile. "Just-in-time" means "no buffer". We have, for decades, been doing as much as possible to make all our economic systems as efficient as possible, which is to say with no extra capacity.

Thus, if it had not been the pandemic, it would eventually have been something else. Sooner or later, there is always a shock to the system. If you have made sure that every step in a long complex chain is optimized to have very little slack, the thing you have optimized for is fragility.
Unfortunately, hydroxychloroquine, like Ivermectin, has become politicized. Although a Gilead shareholder with a bias towards Remdesivir, I know that the cost and infusion method (IV) makes Remdesivir much less likely to be used and contraindicated for home use.

I hope this rampant politicization of drugs stops before it hits the important drug classes like ACE2 inhibitors, bronchodilators or anti-inflammatories.
here is a basic treatment of the topic of semiconductor fabrication:

this extends to CMOS VLSI fabrication.

silicon wafers are required as general fodder, as copper clad pc board is to discrete analog production.

you're right. And the caveat is still that Docker Desktop costs $240 a year only for companies with $10m+ in revenue or 250+ employees. Free for everyone else.

I don't get the whole "Let's spend weeks rewriting our build infrastructure to save $240 a year" strategy going on here.
