Facebook sucks and I never use them. That being said, Facebook moderators who manually review reports are routinely traumatized and diagnosed with PTSD, and Facebook catches fire for that.

So I don't see how this can go both ways. How can we ask Facebook to automate this system and flame them for it not being thorough enough, and then simultaneously flame them for implementing the thorough system of human review? As much as the company sucks, this seems like a no win scenario that isn't fair even to a reasonable company.

If anyone is curious what new features they can use in the next version of a library which is bumping its minimum python version, here are the 3.7 release notes from 2018: https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.7.html

Highlights for me are dataclasses and dictionary ordering guarantees, but capture_output flag to subprocess.run is probably the thing my code will use the most
It's a spectrum, not a boolean flag. There were many examples, my favorite was when someone wanted to organize a protest against lockdowns on Facebook, and cops came into their home. That is an action of an extremely authoritarian government. In the article I guess it falls under suppressing civil liberties and antiregime activities. Vaguely, the more of such actions a government can perform/ performs (or cannot/refrains from performing) the more (less) authoritarian it is... The fact that the majority agrees they are justified has no bearing on that whatsoever. Democracy and liberty only tend to correlate, they are not the same thing, especially recently.
Yeah I agree. But even though SSE is super easy to grok and to implement (literally just standardized long polling), lots of existing infra builds on the assumptions that connections are short lived, so many of the WS issues apply to SSE as well.

IMHO, this unfortunate assumption is not really defensible in $current_year - especially from the multi billion dollar Cloud industry. I'd much more prefer first class support for long-lived connections on an infrastructure level, as opposed to a "proprietary database-level". I don't buy the argument that it's infeasible to solve the thundering herd issues.
My point is that only a handful of people have been able to create several successful companies. Because we don't know how to create such company, so most advice in that case are wrong
Just out of curiosity, why THC + caffeine? I am a regular coffee drinker, but never smoked at the same time.

Is it the caffeine gives you focus, but the THC removes the jitters and antsy-ness that goes along with it?

This is hostile enough that I'd have trouble squaring it with the site guidelines.

It's especially bad because, as others have been saying, your belief isn't supported by real lived experience for many of us. A data center has enough devices that even a low probability error rate will fairly reliably happen, and that doesn't usually hurt the manufacturer's reputation because they never promised 100% and will replace it under warranty. I've seen this with hard drives especially but also things like power supplies and on-board batteries, and even things like motherboards where a cooling/heating cycle was enough to unseat RAM or cause hairline fractures in solder traces.

This can be especially bad with unplanned power outages if the power doesn't instantly go out and stay out for the duration. Especially for hard drives hitting the power up/down cycle a few times was a good way to have extra failures.

Unscheduled power outages can be even worse

You'd probably do the uncomfortably expensive setup, then give the client a token and store the settings in a database. And then do your best to cache it and have fast paths to reestablish from the cache on the same server or on different servers.

Not only could this add a lot of complication, now you've actually introduced the problem of state outliving your endpoints! You do unlock new ways to optimize, but you pay a high cost to get there. There's a very good chance this rearchitecture is a bad idea.
So, Apple sells a tracking device that repeatedly tells iPhone users “hey, something is stalking you”.

Questions:

- how many similar devices that don’t tell you are out there?

- can android users detect them, too?

- can you tell your phone not to tell Apple where tags you don’t know about are? (Probably not, as the value of AirTags is that Apple can tell you where they are when they are out of Bluetooth range of your devices)
Not everyone is “addicted” to novelty. I’ve travelled a bit and there are places where people repeat and repeat old advice about lots of general things and don’t go for novelty… but that may be because they’re not plugged in to a bias of novelty = modern = more savvy = better = more admiration.

The usual cheap RO systems operate from household water pressure only. They fill a pressure tank at the output, allowing the purified water to be dispensed from a faucet. The pressure across the membrane is that input pressure minus the tank pressure. That's relatively low, so the efficiency is poor, wasting perhaps four gallons for every gallon of pure water.

You can improve the efficiency with an electric booster pump, or with a "permeate pump" that recovers energy from the exiting waste water, or by simply filling a pitcher with no pressure tank. I'd expect that even the most wasteful systems are still a small share of a typical household's total water consumption though, assuming they're used only for drinking and cooking water.

Voice Dream Reader. Given the issues you cite this will be perfect. I really appreciated that it models your progress through the document as "time" as it knows how long it would take to read the whole thing. The only thing I am disliking is that the act of highlight text for something like bookmarking is extremely slow and fidgety (it has word issue like trying to highlight the last character on a line is extremely difficult as the hit test only verifies you are on the right edge of a character, but if you go past the character there is no hit box so it doesn't recognize anything, causing you to have to wiggle your finger on the last character trying to intersect that narrow hit box; it mostly seems to rely on you touching through the character after the character you want to highlight, but there isn't one at the end of a line... they need to like, scan left and see if there is a character to the left of your finger to make this easier).

I’m an anxious person and it helped me a lot. I think it really depends on the individual because my wife just gets more stressed and anxious on weed, but for me it’s a miracle drug. In any case, I’m okay sober but I would love to at least have weed occasionally during large levels of stress. I would never be one of those people who suggest weed is great for everyone, just like alcohol is okay for some folks but for others the negatives are greater than the positives. If government would get out of the way and let us all decide what we prefer, and allow us get high quality drugs from a reliable and tested source, then I think each person would be better served by that than the government being our mommy and daddy.
I'm a librarian, actually!

I'd argue that things like our cataloguing process counts as 'human context', as do things like our hold and check-out systems, library space arrangement, etc. Even if a patron doesn't interact with a staff member in person, there is a difference between a library and, say, Kindle Unlimited from a UX standpoint.

Human context and human curation doesn't necessary mean human contact.

Archives are similar: There's a ton of work giving things context and making things discoverable even if a researcher never talks to the archivist who's done these things.

If you're not disputing the story itself - then what exactly is the problem? If you don't like the rest of the content on the site, nobody forces you to read it - and unlike many other sites, this one is pretty clean and doesn't bother the reader with a ton of irrelevant ads. I think refusing to read any site that is not part of your ideological bubble is a big mistake. Everybody has their opinions, if they're not deliberately lying to you, it's completely fine to listen to them and make your own conclusions, even if you end up disagreeing with their opinions.
Most advice is advice:

advice, n.
An opinion about what could or should be done about a situation or problem.
Information communicated; news.
An opinion recommended, or offered, as worthy to be followed; counsel; suggestion.

If the advice is based on something that has worked for someone, it is good advice. It's up to you to figure out if the advice will work for you. If the advice didn't apply to your own situation, or wasn't appropriate, it is your responsibility to figure that out, not theirs.

You can of course try to blame everyone else for the paths you choose to take in life: you didn't get the right advice; they didn't give you the right tools; they didn't explain something well enough. But none of that changes the fact that you, ultimately, are the only one that controls whether you will take that advice and use those tools, or go find others. You own your own decisions.

I'm struggling to understand your reasoning :

> If Facebook reversed the decision, it's not censorship.

Using a different example, I wanted to eat in a local restaurant [a privately owned company providing a public service entirely on their own terms] but I was refused entry because I am black and their "policies" [which is the reason I am given] prohibit entry to black people. I call attention to the situation by standing outside with a placard saying this restaurant treated me in a discriminatory way because I am black. The restaurant manager then comes to me and says, sorry that was a mistake caused by the 'patron classifier' [i.e. some vague entity that implies no actual person is at fault anywhere], and I can come in now.

So, do I understand correctly that you would say the restaurant is not operating any type of discriminatory policy because it reversed the decision when attention was publicly drawn to it?

To me, that reasoning does not seem to make sense. Being embarrassed into changing a decision does not stop your original decision being wrong in the first place. It simply means you want to stop attention being drawn to it and hope I will stop making a fuss if you make an exception for me on this occasion. You can continue making that same [wrong] decision for everyone else that is unable to complain and draw attention to their plight.

> Our immune system is probably strong enough to whack most cancers before they become a macroscopic problem.

Cancer cells are your cells. And this is the heart of the problem, the majority of the time the immune system is a-ok with what cancer cells are doing. It's not rare at all to find cancers so big that they have had a major effect on the bloodflow to healthy cells around them simply because they consume that much in terms of resources. They can get so large that they will quite literally rearrange your organs and disrupt their functioning. And all the while not a peep from your immune system. Of course this doesn't hold for all cancers, in all situations, your immune system can and does detect certain types of cancer, sometimes in an early enough stage that it is able to eliminate the threat.

There's too many discussions in the past that have gone bad. I mean, there are too many times when the subject is what China is doing in Xinjiang, and people bring up slavery or US militarism or whatever, not because they want to compare and contrast and learn, but because they want to distract from an honest discussion of what China is doing in Xinjiang.

And the exact same thing happens on the other side, for the same reasons. Try to talk about US militarism, and people bring up China and Xinjiang.

So when you're in a discussion about one side of that, and someone brings up the other side of that, the priors lean toward it being bad faith. Because there has been so much bad faith in the past, it's hard to believe that someone bringing it up now is doing so in good faith.

If you want to actually have that discussion, you almost certainly can't do it in a thread that started off talking about one side or the other. You'd have to begin in a neutral place. (I don't know if you can pull it off even there...)
I'm the creator of this tool. I understand the skepticism on that bit, but the reason I put the doubling price thing in was to just encourage some mild amount of urgency to at least make a transaction.

In practicality, with the abundance of popular NFTs out there and the starting price of just 0.001 ETH (which is around 4 bucks), I'm not exactly expecting to make much from this. Hell, it cost me over $400 in gas fees just to deploy the contract, I'd be counting my lucky stars if I even recoup that!

And to be clear, the price doubling is not global, but applied to each specific source NFT.
Not all treatments are equally likely as well. Given how good dietary science is outside of cancer, less optimistic at rigorous studies in this area.
Most importantly you get immediate startup. No need to parse and compile. Then you'll also need less memory.

And third and less important you can add more expensive offline optimizations, which are too heavy at run-time. Like escape analysis, and inlining.

Esp for the static parts. The dynamic parts just call into the shared ruby runtime.
The example is a false equivalency, it's comparing teaching religion to teaching science.
Its fantastic, indeed. But you need to insure yourself if you want the costs to be reimbursed, and its never free to insure yourself outside the basisverzekering (basic insurance package, the mandatory default which has become less and less over the years). Our first one was due in February, second in September. Both came roughly on time. But you start your insurance package in December (before new year) so for second we had to pay ourselves cause was conceived in January, while first one was 7 months in so a very easy choice.

This is interesting, I wish it were that easy for me. Do you do any prep work, i.e. "story planning" (presumably in a less formal way than you would at work)? I find that, for my side projects, I can do a lot of damage while high IFF I have a very clear idea of exactly how the feature should work; but if sober me hasn't worked out clear acceptance criteria for the thing I'm doing, either I daydream and don't actually get anything done, or I wind up doing something totally unrelated, like an opportunistic refactor of something irrelevant to what I sat down to work on.
Very speculative:

It probably gets labeled as a procedural error, i.e. the one(s) who report it to the log4j project thought it is already reported to the government, and the ones on the other side say they thought the first team would report it to the government. Then they "fall-in-line" by implementing a security report system where you can't make the mistake, which automatically reports to the government and you need to get "clearance" to report to the project authors.

Which, might have been what actually happened if I think about it.
