sure. consider me ignorant of proper error handling.

looks like the "true scotsman problem", though. i'm using state of the art packages like jgrapht which throw runtime exceptions, and i'm manually catching those runtime exceptions, pattern matching on the exception messages, and trying to handle.

when the community doesn't use the API, it's a tragedy of the commons problem. there's a lot of grey area between what constitutes a runtime exception vs. a checked exception. it's all very subjective!
Definitely, the hair effects are still not there. Something is off, the hair moves as a block in an unnatural way. The rest of the face is pretty good though. The eyes are weirdly intense, but I suppose it was a deliberate choice and some people with blue eyes look like that.
This reminds me of Wow Control [1] which is a tape simulator but can also produce unstable analog-like noise.

At the risk of outing myself as a skeptic of certain orthodoxies, I also found the Times op-ed in question to have a rather un-serious tone. However, I think there were different things I latched onto than the author of this critique. I didn't find the lack of clear distinction between the legal definition of free speech and the common definition to be particularly problematic. As the author mentions, a lot of people felt it was reasonably clear that the Times was referring to the common notion of free speech. But I noticed passages such as this one from the Times op-ed:

"Many on the left refuse to acknowledge that cancel culture exists at all, believing that those who complain about it are offering cover for bigots to peddle hate speech. Many on the right, for all their braying about cancel culture, have embraced an even more extreme version of censoriousness as a bulwark against a rapidly changing society, with laws that would ban books, stifle teachers and discourage open discussion in classrooms."

For the supposed paper of record, I found the choice to use the decidedly contemptuous language to refer to the right wing (that I italicized above) very telling. There were a handful of other telling moments in the Times article where the authors clearly revealed their bias and intellectual stake on certain issues. Even if I mostly share those views, I found the overall article to be rather ineffective at encouraging any but the most sympathetic readers to reconsider their rhetoric. On some level, the Times authors seemed to want to continue to cling to a sense of righteousness that must actually be at the root of the problem in question.
I wouldn't want to watch something like that, I want to watch the original film. Then again I also never watch dubbed movies/tv, I prefer reading subtitles.
I think people are confusing "memorization" with "practice". "Practice" is really important and "memorization" is both the prerequiste and result of "practice".

I often tell people "Calculus is just algebra. However, it's fast, repeated algebra. If you aren't excellent at algebra, calculus is going to be terrible for you. On the flip side, calculus forces you to use your algebra so much that you get much better at it."
No, but if you challenge people's deeply held beliefs they'll wage a long and complicated protest against you often including harassment, DOXing, and attacks against your livelihood. So I don't think it's so simple that anyone here can speak their minds without worry
As an enterprise customer, in the scenario you provided, I’d prefer if the vendor makes this my problem, by forcing me to reset the individual user’s MFA configuration, rather than try to be helpful in such a way that requires support personnel have the ability to do so.

You have it reversed. “I don’t want the new vaccine! Who knows what the long term side effects are!” is equivalent to the technical curmudgeon. The voluntary early trial test group are the bleeding edge tech people. The Ivermectin crowd is the guy that suggests rewriting the backend in Haskell for no good reason.
You can restate your argument however you'd like, but my summary holds.

That the Nigerian Diaspora is relatively successful, especially when compared to the native population isn't shocking when we remember that most "legal" immigrant communities are more successful than the native population.

That disparity generally disappears by the third or fourth generation.

Turns out the process of immigration is a fairly good self-selection process [0].

But, the differences between immigrant groups has a racial component too.

I've not done enough in depth reading on the disparity (mostly summaries from other people I vaguely remember), but I do often think about Gladwell's piece "Black like them" [1] when the topic comes up.

Definitely something I need to read more about.

Let me repeat: Ukraine is a sovereign country. It can look West, East, or neither. Furthermore, countries apply to join NATO rather than are being incorporated by force. It is neocolonialist to think that Ukraine is just a pawn between NATO and Russia.

Justifying the Russian attack goes the same way as "because her skirt was too short... oh, no, no - it wasn't her fault but of society, which lets women dress like that". It's always the aggressor's fault, full stop. For a comparison, NATO didn't perform a land invasion on Belarus when it became a Russian vassal state.
> the modality of mass mob boycotts

I was watching the news this morning and they were talking about the latest company that's boycotting Russia in response to the social media storm. It occurred to me that governments are becoming increasingly irrelevant. They don't have to impose sanctions (and their own rules make it difficult to do so) - the Twitter mob is deciding who to banish. It's a form of democracy, I guess - but one without any checks or balances or regulations.
> I'm unsure the differences between "same reference frame" vs. "can't reproduce the required conditions"

"Same reference frame" is just an abstraction (and quite often a meaningless one--according to the proper concept of "reference frame" in physics, there is no such thing as being "in" one reference frame but not another).

"Can't reproduce the required conditions" is a straightforward statement about the limitations of what we can do with our current technology.

> Isn't it that in order to reproduce the very low accelerations we can't be in our current location with its high accelerations?

According to MOND, yes, in order to test it we would have to set up a lab out in deep space (i.e., not near any planet or star) far enough away from the center of our galaxy that the sum of all the "accelerations due to gravity" from all sources was less than the MOND threshold. Which of course is well beyond our current technical capability. But none of that has anything to do with "reference frames".

> defining something will lead to clarity. It rarely, if ever, does

US politics is full of ambiguities, word games, and of course attacks that exploit these clarity gaps. See a list [0] of them below.

Of course slogans are useful, and trying to hold hypocrites to account by using their slogan against them, yet at the same time it seems the political discourse is extremely low signal-to-noise, and there's almost no general need/demand for clarity. For example the both the "rich people pay no taxes" and the usual "XY corp last year paid 3.50 in taxes" memes are just that, catchy memes.

And all of this puts a brutally counter productive shouting at the late night game feeling on politics. (Sure, there's a reason why political discourse is like this... we probably have to go through the catchy meme arms race.)

[0] BLM, defund the police, liberal and classical liberal, gender/sex, socialism, recently critical race theory, equality vs equity (equal outcome, equal opportunity), free speech vs. selective publishing/hosting of content free from government interference; safe space vs. safe space from certain ideas/trigger vs. safe space for expressing ideas free of consequences, and maybe also "no child left behind" too. (Of course a few of them are proper slogans, but then due to the ambiguity in semantics folks try to use these as concrete promises.)
So what should I use instead? Python? No, I write shell scripts because shell is everywhere. I might not know everything about writing bulletproof stuff but I do generally try to target posix shell.
I don't think it's ever "fair" when bots buy scarce things that humans want. (Assuming, here, that the bot owners are buying for speculation, and not for personal use. I think it's a little more grey, but more or less ok, when an individual writes a bot so they can snag a single unit of something that they want.) Putting the sale behind NFT possession (where a bot could purchase the NFT in the first place) doesn't really change anything.

Adidas' NFT scheme just acts to inflate the price, which is probably fine for a limited luxury good; certainly Adidas would rather capture more value per sale than leave that value to speculators/resellers. But for something like a Raspberry Pi, an end-user being able to acquire one for $35 is a key part of its appeal. If they're "bid" up to several hundred dollars through this auction-like NFT scheme, that defeats the purpose.

While I'm not sure 2FA is the most effective way to weed out bots (maybe it is, I don't know), I think it's perfectly reasonable to try to set up a marketplace where all buyers are individuals who are buying the product for their own use, and aren't scaplers/speculators. These latter sorts of people are just parasites and usually provide no real value.
This is a good post.

Regardless of how we feel about cancel culture, I think we can all agree that the quality of thought coming from the NYT Editorial Board is (and always has been) pretty mediocre at best.

I'm vaguely anti-cancel culture (with a lot of nuance and context-dependence) but I don't feel particularly galvanized by the Board coming out for or against me. They don't think or write clearly enough for it to make any difference in my mind.

And so long as we're on the topic, some of the worst "cancel culture" incidents have been perpetrated by NYT management itself, such as the firing of veteran science reporter Donald McNeil for "using the N-word". He did not use the N-word, he mentioned the word in a context where it came up, as the NYT and other prestige media have themselves done in a variety of situations. And as John McWhorter has reminded us over and over, the use-mention distinction is relevant here but for some reason completely ignored.
Bored Ape Yacht Club creator raises $450M to build an NFT metaverse
We’ve been monitoring this internally, as customers of an Okta-like service.

I’ve also been closely monitoring the responses from our CTO and VP of Security when someone from our DevOps team posted a link to the Verge article in slack this morning.

Which brings me to this inquiry: How are your orgs responding to this? We have a dependency on an Okta-like provider and my first thought when reading this news was “you know, wonder if we should give our shit a sanity check”, and someone beat me to this, proposed it in slack but the idea was turned down by our SecOps team.
It’s my opinion that until the next major breakthrough in AI, all self driving cars should be unable to engage self driving mode if they detect more than a certain number of active vehicles on the road that are not self driving. There is no way in hell we are ready for self driving vehicles in crowded cities like Chicago or New York. For road trips through the rural areas sure! Navigating geometry is not the problem it’s decision making in complex real time environments.
It was made up by a Puerto Rican academic, or so I’m told. But it was made popular by white people, who have the institutional power to decide which ideas coming from minority communities to promote or not, and which minorities to platform and not. Academic and activist ideas relating to minorities largely become popular based on how appealing they are to the white people who control the institutions, donor networks, and platforms.

To use a different example, my dad remarked the other day he was upset that Ilhan Omar had “become the face of Islam in America.” Of course, it’s white progressives in the media decide who gets used in stories as a proxy for minority groups. (There’s almost certainly more Muslim Republicans than Muslim DSA members, but you’ll never see one of the former be given the mike to speak on “Muslim issues.”) Likewise, it’s white liberals in university faculties that decide who gets tenured as an “Islamic Studies” professor. It’s also white liberals who bankroll most political activist groups claiming to speak for Muslim Americans. (CAIR might be an exception given foreign funding.)

Barring a recreation of the Muslim-GOP alliance of 2000, it’ll be white liberals who have the biggest say in appointing the first “Muslim” Supreme Court Justice. It will be no surprise that this person will think white liberals are right and the vast majority of Muslims are wrong on every issue where the two disagree.

I completely understand this view but remembering how overprotective my parents were as a child, to the point of it being annoying, I now understand why.

Impossible to see young kids from large vehicles and people generally do not expect them by themselves near roadways. I can't imagine the grief the parent is going through but the idea of a 2 year old being anywhere near heavy equipment makes me think the negligence is shared.

The company should pay and perhaps there need to be additional security measures taken by public playgrounds but there is no substitute for attentive and always present parenting, especially at that age.

Btw, the OPs story is vague so I've had to fill in the gaps with some assumptions about what happened. I could be wrong if the driver was way out of bounds of expected behavior.
I first read about the idea a week ago and already forgot about it, even though I found it brilliant. sigh.

My booking.com account also notified me someone booked a hotel in Brazil, and I went in and cancelled it and reported it. Extra weird because the notification came in through an old email address. That was on Saturday, Mar 19, 10:43 PM EDT. But it could have just been a large attack on Booking.com, unknown if it's Okta-related (and not necessarily a compromise, if I accidentally reused a password)

Bing powers a host of other engines. Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, most of Qwant, AOL, the web results from Windows Search, Ecosia, and others are all dependent on Bing's search APIs.

If you use a Google alternative, there's a good chance it's just Bing under the hood. So this leak could be a pretty big deal.

Individuals make that decision, just as they do when it comes to democracy as a whole. That's the point of freedom of speech: we can't have an authority on the truth.

The alternative is you aren't allowed to dislike and refuse to patronize someone because of their actions, which is obviously absurd.

Everyone agrees people shouldn't face disproportionate responses, so arguing for that is nothing. Either you need to argue there are general things causing that (e.g: not looking into context, retractions, etc... before making judgements, which is a real problem) or argue the ethics of the particular situation, which is unique to a case.

Almost always, I see "cancel culture" used as a shield to avoid having to defend the actual harm done.

This assumes that people feel "worked against" by the current systems.

Facebook achieved market dominance in an open market, it's hard to convincingly argue that they won by doing things against the desires of the market. So the market would work for a problem like "Facebook is too expensive and doesn't need to be." But Facebook is already free, so you can't easily beat it on that point (it's unlikely that your thing would be so profitable you could meaningfully pay users to take them away from FB).

But we don't have to simply blindly accept that the result of market competition == the outcome that we'd all choose if we thought about the big picture and not just the in-the-moment choices.

How does market competition divorce the network from the algorithm? Keep in mind that Facebook actively tunes their algorithm to give people more and more (short term) emotional reward for engagement.

A third party would have to convince people that they actually want stuff different than what they've currently been responding to, and that they should leave FB to get it (versus just behaving differently on FB to get a different version of the product).

There's already a lot of alternatives for news - I personally decided FB wasn't right for me (nor was any "social media" network) and got a newspaper subscription instead - but they're hardly seeing mass adoption from people migrating away from Facebook.
> Our core will always be free (Apache 2.0 license) and our commercials will be based on the following models: 1) A hosted solution in the future 2) Premium features on top of our core (To ease deployment, administration and integrations with Enterprise security products) 3) Vertical specific solutions for regulated industries like Healthcare and Finance.
It's been a "premium" feature on gaming PC motherboards - i.e. you need to pay extra for it and it's pretty rare. Laptops have it because Intel's SOCs (e.g. Tiger Lake) have it built-in. But on a PC motherboard they'd need to add a Maple Ridge chip from Intel separately for the support.
To stay in your comfort zone aim for a middle-of-the-road like the XPS, or else go open/repairable with Framework. If you don't run Windows, and you aren't inclined towards the Apple paradigm, then the biggest bottleneck comes in with rough edges in laptop hardware that doesn't quite work right on Linux. The best defense against that is simply not to get into trouble and stick to a "known quantity" solution that more people have already troubleshooted, which restricts you to popular laptop models with vanilla features.

> As you point out, while boycotting someone based on your perception of their opinion is not new, the modality of mass mob boycotts of individuals over things potentially taken out of context is entirely new. … One other thing that's new, in America, is the idea that speech is less important than people's feelings.

They used to kill people for advocating for integration and civil rights. Actual mobs used to assemble to kill black men accused of hitting on white women. Not internet “mobs”, actual ones with guns and pitchforks.

Literally nothing you’re talking about is new, in fact it has gotten way less bad over the past few decades. In fact, arguing that its new and pernicious requires us to purposefully ignore the history of political and speech based violence throughout the 20th century and earlier.
