Very strange then, it almost feels like I've been shadow-banned from a service I haven't even used yet considering that I tried to request an invite with 3 different email domains (to rule out any domain whitelist) on 2 different platforms (to rule out any typeform website issues), waiting at least 3 weeks in between (to rule out any rate-limiting).

There doesn't even appear to be any contact email aside from the discord which is also invite-only. Kind of soured me on the whole experience.

Firefox + Ublock & Privacy Badger, on desktop and mobile. I also use Blokada on Android. This combination stops most ads, and if a few sneak through it is easy to create a custom rule.

While I still find Google useful, especially Google Scholar, I've primarily moved to DuckDuckGo for most casual searches.
Two Go 2 proposals that interested me were:

* nillability annotations: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/49202

* Change int from a machine word size (int32 or int64) to arbitrary precision (bigint): https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19623

Sadly the nillability annotations were rejected because they weren't backwards compatible. The bigint change is also unlikely to be accepted because the issue is already five years old and there are concerns about performance.
Installing fdroid was really easy. I don't remember it being arduous.

Oh man, this hurts my brain! I still haven't managed to clear a row, but I'm trying!

Just a small quality of life request: could you add a little more delay when the block touches the bottom? I feel like when I try to fast drop the block it finishes dropping a little too quickly and I can't slot it into place easily without gently tapping the down arrow to adjust the speed.
It's not just sugar; it also does things like ensuring that the value is actually a nonnegative integer.

And for other unary "magic methods", the disconnect can be even bigger. E.g. iter(x) is not just a synonym for x.__iter__() - it can also produce an iterator for something that only provides __len__ and __getitem__.
Sounds like one of those “temporary” projects that outlives the people who start it.

Calling this a "tax" is a misnomer to give taxes a bad name. It's profit. This is apple making profits to keep or distribute to shareholders.

I know that playing laser tag has in no way made me want to shoot people in real life. However, if we had real evidence (and I don’t think we do?) that laser tag increased actual shootings, I would understand if it suddenly became much more restricted.

The genuine concern here should be around whether a potential offender having a bot contributes to actual assaults that would not have happened otherwise.

A bit off topic but I never understood why the higher Kelvin numbers are called cooler. The bluer hues are actually the colours from hotter stars hence the higher kelvin numbers (which are temperatures)

Anyone knows where the cool/warm terminology comes from?

But isn't this fine? In fact isn't it exactly what we want? If consumers were sufficiently upset at the increased cost of apps on the Apple Store, wouldn't they change platforms?

If they're not changing platforms, then the value they get from using Apple's products must be higher than the cost of dealing with higher app prices, mustn't it?

Furthermore, if there was enough of a demand for a more open platform, wouldn't it be able to attract investors to build it?

Sure, but it's not like it has the potential for overfitting. From my layman's understanding, the process is this:

1. Measure outside interference sources
2. Measure MRI of "nothing"
3. Use ML to estimate f(interference) = noise
4. Subtract estimated noise from signal

So the noise removal process has no awareness of brains, skeletons, etc.
Had this thought recently: The function of psychedelics is not to induce hallucinations, but to help you recognize that you’re always already hallucinating.
Sure, and the other mindset was shocked by the response to the incoming scientific data as well. Can you not empathize with that or understand it? You don't have to agree with it, but if you believe they must be "bad people" or have zero empathy to hold those views, then it may not be them who have the empathy deficiency.

The policies and government responses to the pandemic is not "science". They say it's science or evidence based, which is fine it takes that into account. But the actual policies and tradeoffs themselves are not. You could say that some restrictions and medical coercion placed on people would prevent 10,000 deaths. But even if that was true, the tradeoff is not "science". Somebody else could call you a hateful grandma killing science denier for your preference and say they would rather forcefully isolate every person and prevent all movement or travel and save 20,000 because health systems are still collapsing under your scheme.
Agree. Shame it wasn't adopted by more websites. It shutdown just before we launched a new SaaS that used it for auth.
Light travels 1 foot per nanosecond in a vacuum. (Electricity in wires is slower.)

A 1 GHz processor has a 1 ns cycle time. So yeah, with multi-GHz clocks the speed of light certainly does matter a lot, and it's one reason why keeping everything on the same chip (whenever possible) is important.

Parasitic capacitance and inductance and carrier transport speed are inportant too, but it's not correct to state "it has little to do with the speed of light."

Who is them? White people, right? Not the individuals who did a thing, but everyone who shares a similar amount of melanin to anyone who did a thing. So Croatian-Americans who came to the country in the 1980's? Italians, Irish and Jews from the early 1900's? Arabs and Hispanics who are considered white?

So yeah, that's racist. In fact it's the exact same logic the Stormfront crowd uses to blame all black people for the elevated violent crime rates, which are perpetrated by a tiny fraction of the black community. It is racist in both cases, don't make assumptions about people based on their skin color. This should be easy.

> “There’s a special place in hell for those middle-aged men who assault their chatbots,” Miller said.

I'm I the only one that finds this a bit ridiculous? Violent video games don't mean you want to commit mass murder. Watching porn doesn't mean you want to treat real people like objects. Being poor doesn't mean you commit a crimes because of the correlation of poverty to crime. So why should people abusing chat bots be treated as if the bot was real?

Since when did we stop evaluating people based on what they actually did instead of what they might do?
You're misreading the situation. It's not user hostility that's inherently the issue, it's that the demographics are aggressive and Facebook is failing to capture the younger, more captive audiences.

Sounds a bit like Jeff asked Jack how to win.

Explanation: Jack Welch wrote a book called 'Winning' in which he describes a system for rewarding the top 20% and firing the bottom 10% on a regular basis to foster a performance culture. From Wikipedia [1]:

Apple is just one company among many in the U.S., and there is no legitimate reason for lawmakers anywhere to prioritize Apple's ability to restrict other people's liberties to the detriment of everyone else's liberties, especially liberties that concern everyone else's own property (such as sideloading). Apple will still be able to make and sell whatever devices they see fit, that ability is not in question.

The Commerce Clause* of the U.S. constitution empowers lawmakers to regulate interstate commerce. This clause has enabled the passage of antitrust laws in the U.S., including the Sherman Antitrust Act and hopefully the upcoming Open App Markets Act.

There is Xcos, but IIRC it's pretty poor compared to Simulink. Honestly Simulink is super niche. I'd guess there are 10 times more MATLAB users than Simulink users. Not surprising there aren't many alternatives.

I think a bigger reason MATLAB is popular is that it works really reliably, it is very well documented, it has a ton of complex algorithms and functions built in (or available in toolkits at least) and the interactive GUI works very well.

There isn't anything anywhere that comes close to MATLAB's plotting abilities. And scientists do a hell of a lot of plotting.

But that's function oriented programming for you.
It would be one thing if Rails was the only gem that depended on ActiveSupport. The problem is that other authors use it because they initially expect their library to be used with rails. And then, if someone chooses to use the library without rails, all of ActiveSupport must be brought in as a dependency (which is ugly).

I think DHH's aesthetic intention with ActiveSupport was for it to be used by Rails, not used by a random assortment of gems throughout the Ruby ecosystem and misunderstood by a lot of people.

FWIW, ActiveSupport is one of the main reasons why I stopped using Rails a while ago. The other was that version updates typically have a LOT of API changes that make staying up to date quite a drag (or source of tech debt).
Yep! And a lot of people learned programming by this way. There was very little formal introduction to such topics back in the 80s if one does not go into a privileged middle school.
Tons of words in Russian cluster around the same root: "to pickle" is "kvasit" (also, figuratively, "to chug"), leading to related words for sauerkraut and fermented dairy products, "sourdough starter" is "zakvaska," the vessel for fermenting dough is "kvashnia," etc.

Depends on the Kanjis.

I used to work for a company doing Japanese handwriting recognition, and we would sometimes get request "can you support kanjis not in unicode" and "lost" contracts because we could not.

If you vote against the other options, they'll fail is my point. But by preventing me from being able to vote for other options, Apple is being anti-competitive.

Otherwise, I'm not quite sure what you're saying.

if A.B() is not specifically defined.

Why not? If Netflix made their catalog DRM-free and available via an API, then you could download all of Netflix, and then unsubscribe. Sure, you’re missing out on the new stuff, and it could take a lot of disk space to store all of Netflix, but you still have 6k titles [0] to watch for $20 (assuming you’ve got an ultra fast connection and manage to download it in a month, of course). And if you somehow run out of content (over 36k hours of it, according to a slightly older source [1]), another $20 will let you expand your library.

Interesting. I model `array.join(',')` or the equivalent Py `','.join(l)` in my head as ultimately (pseudo-code):

foldLeft(tail(array), str(head(elem)), (acc: String, elem: T) -> acc + ',' + str(elem))

Which makes the array method easier to understand than the string method. Funny how I thought it was _obvious_, but you find the opposite obvious.
