Newegg had stellar reputation until around 2011-2012 and was the go-to for my hardware purchases.

I think around that time they started doing shady things like what's described in the article, opened up a third-party marketplace of some kind (have to be careful not to order your stuff used from a 3rd party seller based in China), and generally went downhill as far as user-experience.

Apparently they were acquired by a Chinese company in 2016.

Their site also became much slower (why does it take 3 seconds for a sub-navigation to appear?) and now also sells a bunch of non-IT related crap.

From now on, I tend to buy things at Best-Buy or even ebay.
Look at what the word "flight" returned in 2002:

Aside from the ads, the results are interesting and they stoke curiosity. Contrast that to now if you were to search "flight"...
Encapsulation is just another way of saying correctly used visibility modifiers. It doesn't mean the state has to be inseparable from the behavior, and its role is semantically fulfilled in Rust by modules. And IME issues with OO feeling like the better role tend to be people attempting to solve all the problems with one feature like OO lets you do, shying away from doing it with multiple features even though they're really multiple concerns. E.g. for common behavior manipulating common state among several local structs, a macro is what you'd use.
I would say there's a big difference between a dictatorship and leadership with authority.

One makes things worse and the other makes things better.

Regardless of whatever they say goes where.
Alright, I changed Ansichtsbibliothek to Zeichenhilfe. And now I renamed the whole thing to "der.Knall.Gerust". Unfortunately, GitHub doesn't do the u umlat (?) and GitHub wanted to be like: "That name is available. Your repository will be called: der.Knall.Ger-st" I was like, "Nope". So I used Gerust. I hope this is OK. Let me know if it's not and I'll do something. Thanks again for the German, I really appreciate it! :)
no it's stupid, i dont care about what you look like
Given the ways that English works, one of which is the removal of all sorts of deliberate and tedious indications as to what one is talking about usually found in the Germanic languages, when one writes in English and uses the phrase 'other languages' but there is no specific language under discussion it should be understood that other languages refers to languages other than English.
That's not how it works. The parties have passed a rule that if California or Texas has one of the first primaries they get changed to 1 electoral vote (well, one delegate, which is the equivalent except there are 10x as many delegates as electors) to decide on the party's nominee. So they would lose what influence they have.

The influence of big states within the party because of electoral votes is pretty small. The state's electoral votes are applied by the citizens of the state. I mean, yeah if you could get 50+% of Texas's voters to credibly promise to vote for the presidential candidate of the party that had an earlier Texas primary they would compete hard for it. But in reality, they're going to vote for the republican nominee. Same logic for California but for the democratic nominee.
Y'all stuck it out longer than I did. I bailed on Newegg not long after they became a marketplace and not a sole supplier. It just took too long to use the site to be even close to feeling assured that I was ordering (and likely to receive) the parts I actually needed.

I do less PC building these days, but I, too, shop with B&H if they have what I'm looking for (which is nearly always).
I agree, i apologize. There is no excuse for insults such as those in civil discussion.
I just wanted to say thank you for the love shown to the site in the past few hours. I've never had so many sales and donations in one day!

I was so scared to post a link here. Someone suggested I should a few weeks ago, but although I read this site quite a lot, I never thought to post my site. I am not really tech minded, and my site is quite simple.

But last night, I thought - ok, just do it. So I posted this, and went off to bed (in the UK). Woke up at 2.30am and saw many notifications for sales, and just ended up getting up.

So thank you. I love doing the site, and I hope you all find it useful :)
Ehh, lots of folks get billions of dollars of government money and have zero to show for it. At least with Elon we get cheap, reliable lift vehicles and 1-2 million EVs per year being built. It’s easy to handwave away his hard work because it costs someone nothing but contempt, but if it was so easy why was he the one to do it? Because it’s hard.

He’s obnoxious and yet surgically effective. Seems fair for the results, even when considering how much luck was a component (PayPal).
I agree, it would be easier if it were in the snippet. That's something we're looking at. I believe it used to, but sometimes the quoted part might not have been the best overall snippet to use. But as said, we might revisit that.

On the counts -- basically, it's all really rough estimates. We make a rough quick count, you go deeper into the page, we make a fresh estimate. It can change, and it doesn't always make sense and personally, I'd hope we just get rid of counts because of this, perhaps more confusing than helpful.
Potentially leaking names by giving out number of letters in name and surname? Just wondering. If so, consider killing or randomizing spaces and letter count.
> Probably, there is a STACKFAIL path out, the local bishop can do something to declare things valid.

LOL!

Also, thanks for the book info. Sounds like interesting reads! :)
Got me thinking: hmm, making new Facebook just gone easy :) But still some mega scale infrastructure building is needed. So plan could be: 1. gather some funds (for straight few years of burning them); 2. place 2 page ad somewhere visible saying: "Hey FB emplees we redoing it, come to us ! This month we need: nix admins and network specialists, next: frontend developers for state of artetcetc"; 3. release early; 4. ...

But do such targeting ads" are legal ? ;)
sigh... I thought things like "customer engagement expert", "associate", or "experience consultant", etc. were bad enough.
Normally I assume the best, but I cannot come up with a single explanation for this that doesn't paint the DEA in a negative light.

They're either incompetent or evil. Since in government the former is worse than the latter, I guess I'll just assume they're cartoonishly evil people then.
> I think we can all agree that kind of jives with how DNS works

I don't think anyone agrees with that, either in spirt or practice.

> The assertion coming from the Clinton camp

"Whatabout the Clintons" is not an actual response to my question, it's just deflection.

> Knowing those things, I don't think it strains credulity to believe that a nefarious political actor could take advantage of people unfamiliar with DNS to suggest a connection that doesn't exist while still having plausible deniability.

Yes Tucker Carlson and Co. ran with it under the headline "Bigger than Watergate" for days. There is no bottom in terms of what lies are told for partisan political purposes. None.
The first benchmark is wrong. Numpy random by default uses float64, and jax uses float32.

In [9]: x = np.random.randn(10000,10000).astype('f')
In [10]: %timeit -n5 fn(x)
623 ms ± 9.31 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 5 loops each)

With Jax

In [17]: %timeit -n5 jax_fn(x).block_until_ready()
98.4 ms ± 1.55 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 5 loops each)

It's still 6x improvement but not as large that the article claims. I am on the latest Intel Mac

I don't think it's really a secret.

It's pretty straightforward to understand that when the vast majority of your sites income is generated from ad revenue, that data is being used to optimize for generating ad clicks, etc., rather than actually giving users the best/most relevant/useful/desireable information for their purposes.
Off topic, but I thought "inculcate" was a typo or something so I looked it up... that's a cool word I've never come across before, thanks.
I've changed my default search engine to Bing for a while. Before I did that, I did compare the results with Google search and found that the clickbait websites that keep pissing me off are shown only by Google search. Those content farm sites have been on Google search as the top results for years to the extent I think it literally cancels any advantage Google search provides.
I'd assume it has a lot to do with decisions made at the top (see track record): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Roberts_(video_game_deve... (Disclaimer: I don't know the guy's management techniques or specifics, it's just a guess)

Crowdfunding is great when no VC will fund your track record. But it leads to even less incentive to produce a ROI. You can see evidence of this same pattern in the crypto ICO wave of 2017, where the business endgame was usually the raise, not the exit.
I believe recently Safari added some support for the File System Access API. https://caniuse.com/native-filesystem-api
You mean they took 3 weeks to give you a refund on something you sent in during peak return season...

And that's old Newegg is gone?

You also badgered them every other day... which probably took a bunch of your time but didn't accelerate things.
With most attack vectors, like buffer overflows, csrf, SQL injection, I (and many developers that aren't security domain experts) am acutely aware of best practices and mitigations. I know exactly where they can appear and how to prevent them. (Well not literally but it's a simple web search away).

With unicode, I really don't know what to do. What strings need to be sanitized (or validated)? File names? Urls? How do I sanitize them without causing agony for most of the world? Are there other unicode attack vectors?
I think, Companies providing this monthly(recurring) subscription model would have to eventually move to "pay for use" sort of model. So even if I have a Netflix Subscription but do not watch any movie, I do not actually pay anything.

I would still pre-pay but it will be adjusted against my usage only.
Interesting story about your baptism. Glad the bishop was cool with it. These sounds like good points about the language forms, and what you say also makes me think of: how does the Church handle baptism in languages that make no distinction between "I" and "we"...and if that's the case...how might that affect it in languages that do, regarding consistency? But this might be an unimportant thing to consider, I'm no expert ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hey, I've been tooling around with a similar project. Please drop me a line (my email is on my profile or just google me) if you don't mind.
I didn't even know I could set up PayPal or Stripe to work without getting an email. I will look into this.

For what it's worth, the emails I send are never automated, and I literally send a thank you email, but no more (unless people reply back to me that is)
The parent is making the point that the language the grandparent is referring to is irrelevant to the language of an arbitrary individual included in the word "we".
But I can always buy them used, or sellers can sell at stores that don't take such a large cut, if in the case of PC games for example. That console games have that 30% cut is not an argument to have them, it's in fact a counterargument that Xbox and Playstation should not necessarily take cuts like 30% when they aren't actually developing the games.
Ask HN: Who hacked GiveSendGo to doxx the donors, is anyone looking into this?

I really do love doing it. Also, I just updated the about page and index page that had 8 years - it's actually been closer to 10 now :)
Facebook’s CTO said in reference to Metamates (after saying “I love it!”):

> Also the saying is a reference to a Naval phrase which Instagram has used for a while "Ship, Shipmates, Self"

The fact that he thinks this in anyway justifies the ridiculousness of this is telling. It’s a primary reason why people are astonished by it, aside from how silly it sounds. First, it’s somewhat insulting to the Navy. Second, the context is not even remotely close. And lastly, the direct implication is that the company is above everyone else.

This person probably makes upwards of a million a year (probably much more?). These people are truly disconnected from society and reality.

> It just wasn't damaged by GN. So Newegg clearly didn't inspect it well enough (probably not unrelated to the spike in RMAs they're likely dealing with)

Newegg did inspect it when it was returned initially. They then sent it off to Gigabyte for RMA. Gigabyte quoted a repair fee which newegg declined, instead deciding to sell the product again to GN. The giant gigabyte RMA sticker could not have been missed when inspecting it again for GN's RMA.
How do you handle actions that are not enumerable? For example, in codenames where the spymaster has to give a clue which can be any english word
I’ve never seen a good study. I’m sure you’ve seen that the old “70% of communication is nonverbal” canard is based on a game of telephone through a few articles and studies. But surely you’ve seen a person’s face communicate something different than what their voice is telling you? The more often you see someone’s face, the more you can pick up, too.
Again, it's too many people to tell individually, it's easier for me to broadcast it and those who are interested will automatically reach out to me. There's no need on my end to do additional work so to speak, ie I don't have to message every party in the hopes that they might be interested, that's why I liken it to something like a broadcast.
I work remotely and I've decided that ON is the right choice for me. I made this choice when I started joining a lot of calls where they had to be in English because of me. I figured camera on was a good way to show I was paying attention.

However one of the perks of being a male is that society only ever expects me to take a shower to be presentable. So I'm totally cool if a colleague wants to leave the camera off even if it's a 1 on 1.
For me, it's been nothing short of the dream it was supposed to be. My pajamas are so comfy to be in whole day, I don't remember how my jeans fit me anymore -- and I am all the more happy for it to be that way.

I switched roles and got myself away from obnoxious self-glorifying micromanagers who couldn't conceive of the idea of not lording over my shoulder when I'm working. They would never consider WFH even for a couple days a week, ("because I say so") -- until Covid shut them up ("Tell me, Mr. Anderson. What good is a phone call, if you're unable… to speak?").

The irony was as delicious as watching all their pointless flailing. I hope they have figured since that their days of milking workhorses are over, and had diminishing returns from having their pets scratch their back instead of doing real work. Also, pay peanuts, get monkeys. Enjoy what you deserve, suckers!

I've never met my current manager in person, video calls are just as good to discuss business, if not better since there's exactly zero travel to deal with. He isn't even in the same country as I am, let alone an office building. No complaints.

I work exclusively with folks across the globe now and I'm the only one in my TZ on the current team, so going to office no longer makes sense just to have small talk with maybe loosely related folks in the office working on completely orthogonal commitments.

I'm single and have an aging parent who was hospitalized and recuperating, so I can actually cook and clean and get stuff done at home, even on a workday, taking breaks that I need when I really need them, and filling out work at other off-work times of the day that are more appropriate for me.

I have lower-back pain at times and biking (motorcycling) to work over a 50-minute commute was just exasperatingly painful, even for a cruiser. Cars took 1.5h one way, that's a lot of time to get back not having to commute.

All in all, yay. Never been better. The schadenfreude of seeing my previous managers squealing like little piglets at things they can't get their lilgrabbies on, especially after the meltdown leading to the exodus of the most useful people from that team, is so satisfying to watch and it pays for itself every day...
> language evolution speed has nothing whatsoever to do with the learning curve

I don't think that's true at all. Little by little, ergonomic changes make it in, that are actually quality of life improvements for the end user. Better error messages, smarter faster compiler, better idioms etc. These are all small, but they add up. For someone coming into the language cold, it can be the difference between a terrible experience and a decent one. No language was born perfect, so let's not pretend Rust is there, or even close.
> Until ~2 years ago, I was one of the uninformed masses. It took the recently-intensifying insanity of American politics and ascendant leftwing ideology in the past few years to wake me up.

"Red pilling" isn't waking up, it's just becoming a nativist right winger. Although the left wing calls itself "progressive" so I guess the words games are everywhere.
Shulgin hailed from a time before we had all these fancy tests. Binding affinity, mRNA and protein production, physiological changes can all be measured easily in the lab.

There's a section in PiHKAL where Shulgin talks about a researcher measuring properties of psychedelics using the twitches of a sheep's stomach. That's because it contains serotonin receptors, and psychedelics induce muscle contraction. This is a common way to measure binding affinity to 5-HT receptors today, but it was quite exotic back then.

I think Shulgin was most opposed to animal testing because there wasn't as much to learn from them. Now there is, though admittedly I think we could do with a bit more taste-testing today.
I made an offer on a building lot once. It was besides a peaceful meandering river, with nice nature. It didn't even occur to me that the site might be polluted. Eventually it was revealed to me that around a hundred years ago, it was a mechanical shop and the ground was contaminated with heavy metals.
> Yes, it's hard to figure out cow just from a big corpus; though you might learn enough about 'cow' to form meaningful sentences and answer questions. That's what GPT-3 is doing after all, and language models are still improving quickly.

As I've said in a sibling comment, GPT-3 is able to construct new utterances in the same language that it learns from. It does not learn its language while learning a model of the world because it does not exist in the world, so it does not learn semantics like we do, which is requirement for making a translation. I am familiar with all these things you talk about, but you are not starting from a sound understanding of semiotics and the difference between content and expression.

Say you learn a lot of syntax from text, you are able to write out a list of paradigms. How do you know which verb form is past and which form is present? How do you know which word means day and which word means night? The information required to make that judgement is not present in the text artifact.
Again, this is Shipment, Market Shares in terms of Sales. I still dont know why this stats is being printed again and again other than if you are actually interested in its business operation. But if that is the case it has little to no relevance without revenue figure considering the range of Smartphone ASP varied so widely.

We dont report Browser Downloads stats on a YoY and QoQ basis. We measure them in terms of usage as in usage market shares. And most people are completely mixing up the two. It is tiring.
You don't trust the NYT or Washington Post, but link to literal tabloids interviewing outrage grifters and right wing blogs? Surely cognitive dissonance only goes so far.
Quite a few devices experience this though. For the record, I use an S9, and used to have 50+ tabs with no issues on older versions of Firefox - now I cannot have one tab remain open without a reload if I lock my phone with Firefox focused and turn unlock it a minute later. And that's with Firefox explicitly exempt from each and every kind of battery/memory etc. "optimization" by Android...

Here's the issue itself on GitHub: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12731
Sorry for the annoying PSA but I just changed the name of my GitHub account to crisdosyago so the old links using i5ik will not work.

BTW - i5ik was based on the Turkish word for "light" - ışık

I love this word but I'm using something more consistent across platforms now and I'm "crisdosyago" in other places, hence the change.
Always.

Today, there might only be a single statement line following that conditional. Tomorrow there might be three or more.

That's a perfect opportunity for a single conditional line, followed by two unconditional lines.

And the next programmer that has to track down that bug will come after you with a disembowelling knife.
Lithium Wars have already begun...
> 'm saying 'objects moving at C do not experience local time' and you're saying the same thing

No, I'm not. See below.

> without explaining where exactly my statement differs from yours

You evidently failed to grasp the point of my statement that the concept of "experienced time", or "proper time", is not even well-defined for lightlike worldlines.

Your statement was that photons "do not experience time". And you drew from that the implication that photons cannot undergo any kind of change while propagating freely. That implication is only valid if "do not experience time" means that the concept of "experienced time" is well defined for photons, and the time that they experience is zero.

However, as I explained, the concept of "experienced time" is not well defined for photons. That means you cannot draw any implications either way about whether or not photons can "change" as they propagate freely, based on the fact that the Minkowski length of their worldlines is zero. There simply is no logical implication about "change" for photons from the Minkowski length of their worldlines. To draw any conclusions about whether or not a photon can "change" as it propagates, you have to look at other things.
Really? The 30-something Chinese guy who's delivered packages his whole life and has no impact on policy created this scenario?
I don't think you do anything tbh. It's not really like those other situations where there's a straightforward, static answer.

The problem is honestly just that unicode is used to convey things like "this is a PDF" or "this is going to execute code" and it's attacker controlled. It's a terrible UX that's been abused for as long as paths have existed.

So I guess hope that operating systems will find a better UX for "this executes" and that they'll stop "a process executed" from being a game over situation for users.
