You can see from comments here on hackernews that at least a few people interpreted this as a change to their ranking algorithm. Writing ambiguously to support a narrative is also misreporting.

I know anti-FB sentiment is strong on hackernews. But seriously look at that screenshot and tell me what's wrong with that? How's that different from promotions by Apple on ios/app store, Microsoft on windows, twitter, google, youtube, etc. etc. They are just promoting their company on their own platform. When did your Facebook newsfeed become this untouchable sacred place where nothing beside chronological posts from your friends is allowed?

I want to hate facebook as much as anyone else but I really don't see news here.
This is only true since the governments are ran by congress people that openly trade stocks based on insider info and take 'campaign gifts' from the companies.

This isn't new, by the way. Companies have had their way since the advent of the telephone, it was just in the shadows since the internet wasn't around and we didn't have companies attaching their brand name to every consumer-unfriendly act committed.

> What is modern journalism’s obsession with putting “quietly“ in the headline of everything they weren’t explicitly informed of in advance?

Could you give other examples?

Quietly makes sense to me - the parties sought no publicity (if I understand correctly).

The most reasonable gloss on "You need a math PHD to code Dwarf Fortress" is "Necessarily, if someone codes Dwarf Fortress, they have a math PhD." The modality "necessarily" is widely understood to refer to possible alternative states of affairs, not merely those states of affairs which are actual. In other words, if an alternative state of affairs is possible, in which someone (whether Tarn Adams or someone else) codes Dwarf Fortress without a math PhD, then it is not true that it is necessary to have a math PhD to code Dwarf Fortress.

Most people in this thread believe that since a math PhD did not play a crucial role in Adams's ability to develop Dwarf Fortress, then it is true that such an alternative state of affairs is possible. (The language of "alternative universes" - usually called possible worlds in the literature - is one way of getting at this.)
How can you do ISA-agnostic JIT unless you implement a separate backend for each ISA? I.e. is it possible to write a JIT in a generic way such that it'll work for a class of ISAs?

Do Phoenix channels have server-side state though? LiveView has server side state, so long polling would only work if there were also some form of server pinning involved (or a single server). Websockets are persistent connections so no need to worry about pinning a server across several requests.
Reflections on a Decade of Coding
The rules don't require the person holding the content to scan the content. Normally a DMCA claim is issued before the host has to get involved.

Lets say you and I opened a joint safe deposit box at the bank to share USB drives together with movies on it. If the bank found out, they wouldn't be required to drill it open and scan the drive to make sure none of the movies were copyrighted. This is google drilling open the safe deposit box because someone shared the keys, and they think there may be a movie they don't like there.

Dairy is just bad in general, it's just that some people can tolerate it better than others. It's an inflammatory food.

BMJ study from 2014: https://www.bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g6015

"In subsamples of two additional cohorts, one in males and one in females, a positive association was seen between milk intake and both urine 8-iso-PGF2α (a biomarker of oxidative stress) and serum interleukin 6 (a main inflammatory biomarker)."

"High milk intake was associated with higher mortality in one cohort of women and in another cohort of men, and with higher fracture incidence in women."

8-iso-PGF2α is produced by inflammatory cells (mast cells, etc). You do not need to have clinically significant allergy or sensitivity to suffer from chronic inflammation, which can be silent.

Dairy is inflammatory: https://www.arthritis.org/health-wellness/healthy-living/nut...

As you can see, the Arthritis Foundation does not give blanket recommendation to eat diary "because cal/vitD". Instead they urge caution and even try diary elimination.

Another study, 2015: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26674761/ "Directly Associated with Dairy Food Consumption and Low-Grade Inflammation in a German Adult Population"

Another one, 1994. “Consumption of dairy products, particularly at age 20 years, was associated with an increased risk of hip fracture in old age. (“Case-Control Study of Risk Factors for Hip Fractures in the Elderly”. American Journal of Epidemiology. Vol. 139, No. 5, 1994).

One more, from 1997. “Data does not support the hypothesis that higher consumption of milk or other food sources of calcium by adult women protects against hip or forearm fractures.” (Source: Feskanich D, Willett WC, Stampfer MJ, Colditz GA. Milk, dietary calcium, and bone fractures in women: a 12-year prospective study. American Journal of Public Health. 1997).

12 year long Harvard Nurses’ Health Study found that those who consumed the most calcium from dairy foods broke more bones than those who rarely drank milk. This is a broad study based on 77,761 women aged between 34 and 59 years of age.

25 years of results that point to no benefits at best, and corroborate association of diary intake and chronic inflammation at worst. Got milk?
> current meat industry is only cost effective because we've spent the last few millennia optimising the everloving hell out of it

My dad is a veterinarian and i went to some of the places where cattle is grown for meat.

I can assure you, it's not optimized except the species.

( We have "Belgisch witblauw" everywhere, that has been bred with great success since 1770. )
No it's not. For example almost everyone has curtains. Do you think everyone that closes their curtains is deceiving someone? Of course not. There are many reasons to keep something private, one of them beeing deception. But it's far from the only one.
> scientific organizations (the CDC, and the FDA)

Are these the same organizations that told us we don't need a mask?

Are these the same organizations that said that controls on international and local travel were not needed?

Are these the same organizations now pushing N95 masks for health workers?

Are these the same organizations that were funding gain-of-function chimeric coronavirus research in Wuhan China?

Are these the same organizations that distanced themselves from a vaccine mandate, now in favor of them?

Are these the same organizations that failed to put out treatment guides for outpatient & inpatient care for COVID, but when they did, eventually, liberally plagiarized from the very doctors they attacked?
My GP was about "sophistication", not taste (though of course the latter can be part of the former).
Yes maybe Google resists the Chinese, but what about Russia?

As someone with loads of Python and Django experience, should I invest in learning Erlang first or dive straight into Elixir/Phoenix?

Would the experience be enlightening regardless if I choose to deploy apps with it and use it at work?
That has to be the most lame excuse I've ever heard, at least it's funny!
I never truly appreciated how valuable good air is until I moved to Asia and experienced weeks at a time living in air with AQIs over 100 and namely high PM2.5 levels.

The physical effects of spending even an hour outside are immediately apparent and scary when I contemplate what this would probably do to my health if I rack up years of exposure. It's even scarier to think about children who are exposed to this air from birth and grow up inhaling it every time they walk to school, go outside to play, etc.

This 100%. I strongly embraced both platforms early on, but their nature has changed in so many ways, and the balance of benefit to me vs. benefit to the vendor has tilted way too far towards benefiting the vendor.

At this point I've blocked all FB-related domains for my computers (Pi-hole) and use other methods to keep in touch with family and friends.

The same thing is happening with Twitter. Every time I view the web interface (or official mobile app), I'm disgusted by how exploitative and user-hostile its current iteration is. Luckily I normally use a 3rd-party mobile client which retains some of the aspects that made the platform appealing (permanently-linear timeline, no ads). The disparity is night and day. Unfortunately I'm "forced" to use the official clients from time to time as the 3rd party one is no longer being updated and lacks some features (for example some videos simply don't play). Still, at least it keeps the service mostly-usable. Regardless, I'm using Mastodon more and more as it's what Twitter "was" and can never be again.

I was in Kaohsiung, where my rent was once as low as 3500 NTD per month = 45 NZD per week :D

Here in Auckland I'm currently paying 130 NZD per week for a room in a house shared with 3 others, about 15 mins bike ride from the office.
> Originally, you owned a domain. Now, registrars take the position that you just rent it from them.

I've never seen any mainstream registrar take that position. If you were going to argue that a domain name "belongs" to anyone other than the registrant, it'd be to the registry itself, not to a registrar.
To put in perspective, notebooks are how using the REPL on Lisp Machines and Xerox workstations (Interlisp-D, Mesa XDE, Mesa/Cedar, Smalltalk) feels like.

> We need organizations like the CDC and FDA to be much better about their messaging (remember the no-mask debacle)

When I heard of the COVID outbreak, I promptly put on my P100 mask and tried to go to sleep in it. Tried being the operative word.

Later on, switched to my N95. Ah yes, the joys of sleep!
Some of the stuff in there is very good, and some is at the level of "chartjunk" as Edward Tufte calls it in his also very good series of books about graphical display of data. (his books are also worth a read)

(Chartjunk = plots or charts where flowery or gratuitous graphical embellishments, like the octopus, simply obscure the data being presented)

I am actually most surprised by the fact that a book was able to be produced with so many graphics at that time. I would have thought that such graphics were incredibly expensive or prohibitive to put in a book until later in the 1900s. I don't know why but I just had that impression.
Workspace customers generally have a grace period to remove content before they're suspended, like the user was in this case.

https://workspace.google.com/terms/premier_terms.html

> If Google becomes aware that Customer's or any End User's use of the Services violates the AUP, Google will notify Customer and request that Customer correct the violation. If Customer fails to correct the violation within 24 hours of Google's request, then Google may Suspend all or part of Customer's use of the Services until the violation is corrected. Suspension of the Services may include removal or unsharing of content that violates the AUP.
The meat would probably be disgusting.
Do you mean the websites or the experience of using crypto?

The first can be resolved, I'm not sure the second can.

In order to compete with existing payment methods, they would have to give up the "be your own bank" ethos. (i.e. custodial wallets will be required to match existing UX of credit cards and pay apps)
you don't need to learn Erlang first. you can directly dive into Elixir and Phoenix.
the experience working with elixir/phoenix will be so soo good that it will be a hard to go back to any other stack.
That's a false analogy. 10 separate factories in their example would be 10 separate cities each with 10k people, not 1 large city with 100k people.
It's so pathetic, everything 'terrorist' these days purely means what the government/private corporation doesn't like.
I use Nyxt as my daily browser for the most part.

After experimenting with lots of alternative browsers (uzbl, qutebrowser, etc.), I find Nyxt to excell in the following areas:

- Configuration system is highly organized as well as flexible;

- Feels like a first-class browser in almost all situations;

- Fast startup and responsive UI.

That said, I've encountered some issues, mostly in connection with work:

- CJK input is kind of janky;

- Infrequent crashes on some JS-heavy sites;

- Cannot log in to Azure Data Factory for some reason.

All in all, I would highly recommend giving Nyxt a serious spin. The devs are crazy active and helpful. I am pretty confident that the above issues will eventually get ironed out.
> Some countries will just decide to abandon the treaty, occupy whatever part they like, with some negotiation about the border. And perhaps have some conventional naval and terrestrial forces nearby in case it's needed.

Why? They signed the treaty, and many more, in the first place.

> each government force the local mapmakers to include every piece of land they are claiming in the maps

They do? It's hard to imagine a democratic government even having that power.

> A lot of small border disputes are resolved peacefully, but it's usually about an area that nobody cares too much, or that is small enough that does not justify the cost of a war.

Every dispute between democratic countries is resolved without war.
I dislike Trump intensely. That doesn't mean we give others a free pass though.

Nice, Windows Phone UX wins come to the masses.

Hopefully it works better than Firefox Android, where websites get confused about where the bottom of the screen is (and sometimes place modal buttons out of reach) and even the browser's own hamburger menu shows things under the address bar.

I actively block out content and tell social media platforms what I'm interested in and what I'm not interested in. This have improved my feed a lot and my social media have become a lot more enjoyable.

I have considered building a twitter filter program. Where instead of scrolling through endlessly content, where 90% of them isn't even good. I could just ask my twitter filter program to show me the most retweeted content, show person X last tweets, show me the most liked tweets of the people that I follow... etc.
This will prevent me from scrolling endlessly, and speed up the process of information gather.

Social media if used correctly can have a lot of benefits. But takes some time to build up a good feed.
This is the right answer to so many things.
Pet peeve of mine: "X compiler/interpreter/JIT written in X".

Case in point five years and 150k+ lines with the slow Scala compiler written in Scala (it's conceptual slow because of the language (types, implicits, ...) and it's accidentally slow because written in Scala (a slow language) on the JVM (slow startups and warmups)). I do get the coolness, the eat your own dog food, the I-write-X-in-X-because-I-obviously-like-X-otherwise-I-would-not-create-it-duh, but as a user I hate it.

I would prefer "X written in A" where A is the reasonably fastest language, e.g. Rust.

I love the Go compiler for speed.

As a no name angel investor, I’ve seen a few of the companies in the report. But also others that are changing the assumptions. So yeah, if you think you are going to produce meat by replicating in vats used for vaccines, then you are going to have problems. There are other paradigms that are more likely to be disregarded out of hand from someone with decades of knowledge, but can work if someone with a bit of naïveté goes forward anyhow.

I mean, AI researchers when I was in college laughed at using any kind of neural network.

And they were right, if you had a short timeframe.

I do think the timeframes are, uh… optimistic like a new SPAC with no revenue.

Overly optimistic.
Huh, I had no idea that these are rare; but I know them as Corpse Flowers. I've seen them on numerous hikes here in BC.

As a vegetarian and sometimes vegan for over 15 years, I’ve been amazed by the recent development in meat replacements, like beyond and impossible and hundreds of others. I wonder if faked meat can get so good to remove the lab meat market. At least for burgers i think this already is true.

I'm so happy with the redesign.

All UX improvements and no complains for me. Also I noticed how it gets better. And with Ublock origin installed it rocks.

I'm not a power user on mobile, hope more use cases like me exists and adopt Firefox, it will not be the nightmarish future that the OP mention.

I think that the major challenge for Firefox is advertising, how to be known and get installs, the product is good, but Google is so big and powerful that takes all the air and suffocates the little fox. Is like those avengers movies taking all the attention of the culture and those challenging and thought provoking movies with five people in the theater and two reviews in YouTube with fifty views. Sad.

Probably more of a pain if you have a large amount of data and a slow internet connection. For me it all fits in the 50GB file and downloads in a few minutes. I guess pulling out 1TB of data on a slow connection would be difficult but I can’t see how google could make it better since downloading and extracting a 1TB zip on its own would be almost impossible.
I've thought about doing this myself, but apparently it's a lot of work to get right. I read from others who tried it that a lot of their mail would be caught by spam filters and they didn't necessarily know why.

Apparently my original point was entirely lost here, which was not to say, "hey, you can't eat beef!" But to say, ffs, this is an insane amount of excess! We don't need 31M cattle, we'd probably do just fine on the 7M that get turned into garbage, and maybe they wouldn't be if there were less of them and more care given, if, say, humanity could somehow precede profit. But please do not deceive yourself, most eat beef because they were programmed to by the beef industry marketing drilled into them since childhood, which taught us that meat was an essential nutritional staple, which was always false, but it helped to sell a lot of beef and continues to help warm things up for everyone everywhere.

Also, I didn't decide anything. Science decided that all those cows are the source of upwards of 4% of US greenhouse emissions, and science also decided that eating beef massively increases risk of type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, colon cancer, and, uh, oh yeah, death. And though there would be no greenhouse emissions nor any health risk to you or others in so doing, I have decided neither you nor anyone else anywhere should eat my toenail clippings.

I remember running into him at Rails at RailsConf in Phoenix a few years go and brought up his work on the Rails journey router, which is an NFA and his eyes lit up and was really excited that someone appreciated and understood that crucial yet under the hood part of the Rails core.
