Huh? This seems like it works fine in python?

filter(lambda x: x < 10, map(lambda x: x * x, [1, 2, 3, 4]))

But even for more complicated logic, it also doesn't seem like it's that burdensome to just throw a name on the lambda:

def square(x):
return x * x

def less_than_ten(x):
return x < 10

filter(less_than_ten, map(square, [1, 2, 3, 4]))

Which I find to be more readable/maintainable.

That's probably the most underrated feature of python. Decisions about how the language should function like this which seem "restrictive" from one perspective, and yet force you down the avenue of good decision-making for readability/maintainability. Sure, it's possible to write terrible python, but you're generally cutting against the grain to do it.
All my working life I've worked 24 hours/3 days per week.

Once or twice a year there is an "all hands on deck" emergency, and I will work a day or two extra. But those are the very rare exceptions.

My take is: I see colleagues do almost [1] the same amount of work, but because they are in the office all week round they are far more visible. I on the other hand am much more awake and energetic, and cost the company less € too...

Also I'm personally happy to work less. More time for side projects, hobby's, my family and people in general. I'm less stressed.

The threat of a lawsuit when the big guy has infinite resources is a scary proposition. Dealing with this can easily cost the developer $10s of 1000s. Basically, corporate bullying. Its not right...
There are groups that visit hospital patients with dogs. Unfortunately the requirements are pretty strict for a dog to qualify. My dog loves people and would do great but she is not very trainable so she won’t pass any test.

In general I wish we wouldn’t make our environments at work and also hospitals not as sterile and purely functional as they are. I know some people like it that way but from my experience having a few animals like dogs around makes a huge difference for peoples emotional well being.

I don't know them, so if you assert that they're an edgelord and not an extremist, I can only imagine that you do know them.

Lacking any other information, and given a relative unimportance of that person to me, I'll take your word on that. Given the time you devote on the defense of that community, it's certainly more important to you than it is to me.
Facebook is an ad platform. The guy wrote a plugin that removes their ability to display ads. Now he's banned. It's pretty straightforward.
It's probably for using the Facebook name or logo.

They could even potentially argue that the names of the "unfollow" buttons and associated URL's (which are in the code of the extension) are copyright facebook. The source code has things like:

getElementsByClassName("oi732d6d ik7dh3pa d2edcug0 qv66sw1b

Which are very much on dodgy ground...

Even a very weak legal argument is enough to win when you're fighting someone who doesn't have the budget or desire to even show up in the courtroom.
You can blame the driver but if tesla calls their systems "auto-pilot" or "full self-driving" mode then they're creating expectations in people's minds that they aren't going to be kamikaze'd into a concrete wall... When they create these expectations and then people die, something needs to change.

>natural immunity offers greater protection than the vaccine, you're thinking of combined vaccine + natural immunity.

No. There is no consensus on the duration of natural immunity, nor do we know how effective it is against variants. We do have confidence in the duration of vaccine-derived immunity and its performance against existing variants (https://www.newsweek.com/natural-covid-immunity-delta-varian...).

>vaccine side effects range from mild to death

You've not provided convincing evidence of this.

From the VAERS website: VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable.
With the disclaimer that I haven't looked too closely into it - that does make things sound a little sketchier from a user privacy perspective. I probably wouldn't use the extension myself. I'm still curious how Facebook has standing just because data is being recorded about the user's browsing which happens to include (maybe exclusively) their website. Most browser extensions are capable of exfiltrating page content - are they all in target for FB to say "nah, we don't like that" on behalf of someone who goes to facebook.com with the extension installed? I would think (hope) not.
There are multiple other ways to contact people.
I haven't used facebook in almost a decade and have zero issue communicating with people
FB also demanded a list of every single domain the developer owns. Seems egregious.
Consider me surprised as well.
If left wing voices were equally banned from the mainstream sites then there would be balance on the alternatives.
While trying to understand what Jamstack actually is (or adds to simply using a SSG) I lost some faith due their site not functioning well in mobile safari. The filter buttons on the SSG page do not respond at all, and when you click a TOC item, the content silently loads below the fold (seems like we should jump down to the content).

The title came from a comment from one of the maintainers of the WiX Toolset. I called the initial missteps a "maintainer kerfuffle" and he responded, "As long as it doesn't turn into a brouhaha".

I went looking for the (Chrome) Extension and found:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/unfollow-everyone-...

It's called "Unfollow Everyone" though. Is it the same thing? The only clue about the developer identity is the email address, 'easwarismyname@gmail.com' and the developer is "TMP".

I'm curious -- if FB pressures Goog to delist the extension, would this open them up to anti-trust action?

Also I wonder if the Everyone -> Everything was a mistake, or an intentional misdirect to avoid a Streisand effect?
I think we just violently agreed, and even repeated the same last line?

This argument gives the platforms more credit than they're worth. It's been obvious for half a decade that social media is bad for mental health. I've cut it out of my life. I tell others to cut it out of their life. No one's under the impression that these platforms are good for anything. They're popular now, but they are not important.
Their business model is based on doomscrolling.
The non-sense is that you're basically saying that the US created the armaments industry as a means to an end - NOT the other way around, which is what it's being labeled as a conspiracy theory.

It wasn't the "American makers of plowshares" that decided to pivot to the weapons business and started to make wars. They were funded to switch their production.

Why would the armaments industry be "creating wars" (what ever that means), if the country - per your Eisenhower quote - requires them to keep developing and producing armament?

Basically they are paid with or without wars.
The developer should let the FTC know.

Poor lighting in this room, taken w/ an iPhone 12 Mini. Just grabbed the first result of "50% gray screen" from youtube.

I can see some vertical stripes if I look closely, but that seems to be general aging and not burn in. At least I can't think of any images that could have burned in that pattern with what I've used the screen for. Tbh this picture makes it look worse than it appears but you'll just have to take my word on that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This TV has gotten a lot of (ab)use, much more than a typical home I would think.

I'm glad you suggested this test because now I have some fuel for upgrading in 2022. ;) I wouldn't say the aging I can see from this test is noticeable in most cases, but it's a tool I'll use in the future to see how the striping worsens.
i'd purposely immediately started using a nice butcher block cutting board that my friend's dad (who made it) gave me last year so that i wouldn't fall into that specialness trap. but because it is special, i do tend to use it sparingly and care for it better.
That's really impressive!
This is like saying if you don't like the rules you can build your own multinational telephone network. There's a reason telecoms are subject to common carrier rules and I don't see why tech monopolies should be any different.

Agreed. I use brain.fm (no affiliation) and have found it great for focusing. While I ride around the city on a bike or euc, I find faster pace music great for getting in the zone / flow state.

For the latter example, I wonder how much of it is though neaural networks wired together fire together. In essence Ive always listened to music while riding so it feels right and known, what if I had ridden all this time without music, would I be better? I don't know.
The so called "Java design" as urban myth, traces back to CLU, Mesa/Cedar, Modula-2+, Modula-3, and C++.

Naturally the Java designers thought to adopt a feature that was increasingly being made available.

And they only got out of C++ due to the language dialects out there regarding RTTI and exceptions.

We'll agree to disagree, but Reddit's track record speaks for itself.

Yes, but the UI is not the worst new Safari feature: performance is severely degraded too.
> I think you can get the wiki with plain old 'git' ? I forget ...

This is correct. The wiki for a repo is accessible as a separate repository named with a suffix of “.wiki”.

So if user foo has a repo bar with an associated wiki, and the repo URL is https://github.com/foo/bar then you can clone the repo and the wiki respectively over SSH by:

git clone git@github.com:foo/bar.git

and

git clone git@github.com:foo/bar.wiki.git

I wish they’d do the same for all other repository meta data including issues, repository description, etc

I unfollowed everything manually a couple years ago - on Facebook and twitter. still use both tools, but I feel it's much more under my control. Haven't looked back or missed anything.

What possible basis would Facebook have for preventing people from managing their own account in this way, improving their lives? Insanity.

I think this is a good place to mention O'Sullivan's First Law: "All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing.": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_O'Sullivan_(columnist)

Any platform that establishes itself as a result of a purge from a left-wing dominated platform like Reddit will start out as explicitly right-wing and will struggle to gain non-partisan membership. That new platform will get its reputation tainted for being a place for extremism - even if it permits both left-wing and right-wing views. The left-wing folks won't see a need to join the new platform because they already have the existing one to feel comfortable in. They are content to let the new platform be seen as a hotbed for right-wing radicalism, continue to smear its reputation, and then wait for it to whither and die.

On the flip side, any platform that starts out as non-partisan eventually gets dominated by left-wing / left-leaning folks. I personally have seen this happen countless times on subreddits individually, then reddit as a whole. I sense that this is because activists on the left tend to naturally gravitate towards becoming moderators and establishing new forum rules whenever they take over. Most of the new rules are unobjectionable but questionably appropriate. "No Racism / Homophobia / Transphobia" is a fine rule, but is it really necessary in a woodworking subreddit? The other kind of rules are more subtle and easy for moderators to abuse, like "be friendly", which can be applied against right leaning folks and ignored when left leaning folks get confrontational. Eventually the conservative/right folks get drowned out by agenda-posting and getting downvoted en-masse. They either self-censor, just accept the downvotes and keep posting, get banned, or try to leave for a new forum.

No one is disputing geniuses exist. Calling them 10x, however, is problematic.
Hospitals directly report to VAERS as well. We've had this system in place for a reason, you need a way to track anecdotal reactions in individuals that suffer extreme reactions or death that were otherwise healthy.

There's countless instances of healthy people dying right after the shot, doesn't matter if you wish it away.

Yes it may be a small amount percentage wise, but the more you scale the more absolute deaths you get.

It’s not strictly about automating API requests. He was also using Facebook’s trademarks (easy target for valid C&D requests). He was also using the plugin to collect data from users, including some very detailed data for a subset that opted in to a study. Facebook doesn’t take kindly to people making extensions that use their trademarks and collect user data, no matter how trivial.

Ya, the new Step Function service integration feature is awesome, really seals the deal for Step Function being the orchestration tool if you are in AWS.
Yeah, I always defend there should be a "law of scale". When you start making your own project, taking a risk, spending hours and hours working on something, it's fair for a single individual to have the right to make any calls in what they are doing. But when it expands to thousands of workers and millions of users (or even much, much less), your responsibilities and reach can not be the same anymore. Saying "I built it" is no justification. The growth and the contributions that are making something possible, users included, do not support the logic of "my house my rules" anymore.

This wasn't particularly related to this specific case, and visions and missions of companies should still be respected, but society does have a very warped concept of "property" when it involves their work or ideas.
Many FAANG junior engineers salaries qualify them as accredited investors. Definitely a small subset of the general population, but not particularly rare around here.
how often are people opening vim with no buffers? Even if I'm creating a file, I know what name I want to give it so I'll invoke vim with that as the argument
While this is true, I feel like there really is a difference between modern online communities and the ones that existed in the older era, before the so-called web 2.0 era. You can't escape bias at all, that should be any person's educated perspective, but there is a difference in degree that is sharper both on reddit and facebook groups and the like.

Ironically, twitter (which does skew left wing at least in some places), while having its host of issues, has a much lower degree of echo chamber-ness because there are no groups, everyone is thrown in a pot together. It does have the cancel mobs and all that but an echo chamber it is not, which at least proves "echo chamber" isn't the default final state of any social media platform.
I think you've misinterpreted them. The discussion is about the 'intention' of somebody mentioning privilidge, not the social merit of the act itself.

If one mentions it in a genuine way that is contextual to the discussion, then it is entirely appropriate. But if it is blithely and thoughtlessly tacked on to a preceding statement (which, let's face it, happens), then it gradually becomes a platitude and empties the acknowledgement of any charge or primacy when others are mentioning their privilige in a considered and good faith way.
How does that help the people in the shipping industry? Let's say you did reduce shipping and therefore there were fewer shipping jobs, the people currently doing this work would lose these jobs and have to find other work. Something which would be even less attractive than shipping. How's that help them?
All they (and every other bigco) care about is doing whatever token "due diligence" they need to do. If your papers aren't legit they don't care as long as they don't know.
I use FTP & SFTP on a share hosting I have had since high school. Old PHP and static sites that don't really benefit from added complexity of anything more than dragging and dropping files or editing on the server directly. Popularity hasn't been super important as long as it continues to work well for me.
One thing the Laravel ecosystem is succeeding at is marketing themselves as an easy, enjoyable even beautiful experience for developers.

Some things certainly makes it frictionless to a certain degree, like focus on documentation and a "convention over configuration" approach. But it is also (perhaps mostly) a self-fulfilling thing; if you expect it to be simple and enjoyable, and if you expect the creators to have gone the extra mile to make it so, then it may tend so seem so too (like it did for me when I dabbled in it). But that's beside the point, really.

While this project (Lucid and Lucidarch) looks like something that brings the Laravel philosophy to larger projects, it does not seem to have gained much traction - not many stars or watchers on Github, no recent developments. Perhaps because the need to be handheld is no longer a priority at that stage: the architecture decisions are not a single-developer concern, those things are fleshed out by teams with experience.
If you don't have much work experience and your employer is paying for classes, by all means take them. It won't hurt, your resume will have more content and you might learn some obscure things. Ever so often admittedly rare a company will have a customer or regulatory requirement to have {n} people certified in a thing.

If you have a lot of work experience, then it won't really do anything for a CV. The RHCE will give you a week away from work and the class is mostly hands-on. It is not boring at all. If your employer is paying for this, then I would do it if for no other reason to take a break from the normal work queues and meet some people, assuming they still do this in person and in a classroom.
One occupant moving out, cleaning, renovation, listing, showing, and getting to a new occupant's moving date is a process that takes some time. To the extent that apartments are turning over, some of them are going to be in this state at any given moment.
Probably yes, in code with regex. To name a few advantages:
1. Better readability and organization. Rules and word lists can be abstracted to more of a config format.
2. possible to easily store in a database and support dynamic additions/changes to the rules and words
3. Better accountability of performance. Able to use profiling to catch any perf issues in the rules.
4. Testable with unit tests
