I did nothing that is against the guidelines, and you did not repeatedly ask me to stop whatever (I honestly don't even know what you mean). I think you are just projecting something.

I did nothing in this thread that is against the guidelines whatsoever. And not in my previous comments, either.

The only thing I did I guess is to voice an opinion or inconvenient truth that you personally don't like. I can see no other explanation for it.

Perhaps it is the comment on the "personal pronouns", because you belong to the group of people pushing that new ideology. But I did not even say you should not indulge people's request for their pronouns, just that people should not be forced to use them against their own convictions. As I explained, there is a clear analogy to the pronouns issue from the "personal manual", that is why I chose to mention it, because it is a well known issue.

Honestly, I just don't know what personal issue you seem to have with me.
Europe needs to chill with the poorly written but well intended regulation before we bifurcate the internet into another group. We already have the open-internet, the Chinese internet, and soon we're going to have the European internet.
We tried to keep it as vendor natural as we could, for example in the Graph API we picked the openCypher query language and in the JSON API we used JSONPath.
I'd be interested to see even one example where the e-commerce store's own site search failed to return a relevant result that google otherwise achieves. Just one example.

I use Google search too when shopping online. For the purpose of returning a range of websites so I can browse for best price etc. But the topic here is whether Google could do better when confined to one site, and it would also need to return actual products not just "SEO" landing pages talking about those products.
That calculation assumes that Go and Node have the same performance and the only gain is by parallelism. But I agree.. the performance difference seems strange. On a 1 core basis I'd expect something like a factor 2-5 gain.

There was a lot of stuff/buzz around the semantic web in the early 2000s.

I’ve been out of web for a long time but it seems to of mostly died with the advent of React and the single page web application. Now it looks like everyone apart from public government sites with strict accessibility requirements just don’t bother putting the effort in.
The problem with UX is every single UX designer thinks they intuitively know what is best for users when studies show that to be completely false. So Google are right to listen to research instead. No UX design can please everyone.
I don't think most people have trouble with online advertising as such. Not even targeted advertising as long as they are in control of what's happening.

I think what people have trouble with are the other things forced on them. They don't want to be spied on, and they don't want to have loud full page videos thrown in their face.

I think it's plainly obvious that spying makes targeted advertising better, but I don't think we have proof that it can't work at all without the private-sector equivalent of the Stasi surveillance state.
Sure. But it's not mandatory. And if it's about optimization, pausing the GC for critical regions can be useful, or just pre-allocating memory.
If you look at the payment providers outside of the app stores, the people like 2Checkout or the various Digital River companies they all seem to be in the 4% to 6% range.

Wow, I've never thought of "functional programming, immutability, state machines, reactive programming" as time savers, just better ways of coding stuff, I'm a self-taught engineer and literally all of these just seem like correct way to code stuff beacuse it's much smoother and less faff.
I started using it around 2009ish and stopped using it years ago, only logging like once or twice a year. One reason was nobody was posting anything interesting anymore, that has been going on for over 5 years. A bit hard to generalize because near the end my feed was dominated by 1-2 very active people and I got all their interactions with other people, so only my greater bubble was being silent, not everyone everyone.

Hard to tell and you'll probably get a skewed picture here, of people who probably were early adopters (pre 2010) and have since moved on (unless it's big in their family).

The article touches on three ways in which people with right-wing political views have been involved with psychoactive drugs:

* Wealthy billionaires funding research into medical or therapeutic uses

* Right-wing figures appearing in 60s counter-culture

* Use of psychedelics in modern alt-right groups.

It's interesting but short and vague. It doesn't explain whether each bullet point was made up of just a few individuals or was a significant proportion of the culture.

I searched around on the topic and found this article which goes into a lot more depth and covers the above points and more: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.7331...

In general though, I don't think this is very surprising to people who know about psychoactive drugs. They don't necessarily open your mind or show you "the true path", but rather reflect some existing aspects of your mind back at you. If you are already content and secure in your worldview then it won't do much to change it. However, if there is an underlying insecurity then prepare to have that brought to the fore in potentially uncomfortable ways.
The wonderful days of conglomerates endlessly advertising how their candy will transform our lives.

I find the argument that advertising was somehow okay before the internet a hard pill to swallow. My recollection is that ads were misleading back then and reserved for larger businesses. It pains me to think about going back to that era.

On the other hand, it’s nice to find small businesses to buy from on YouTube / Instagram / Reddit. It’s also nice that I do not have to pay for these services with money.

So it’s not perfect on the internet. But it does seem a hell of a lot better.
I think Google would help with the nephrotoxicity topic, but with regards to cardiovascular risk, the FDA has been doing a ton of work on it since the early 2000's when Vioxx and Bextra were pulled off the market. The other NSAIDs like ibuprofen, naproxen were kept on the market due to a lower, but not non-existent, risk.

I take NSAID for pain, but personally I'm not too concerned as it's only a ~10-50% increase in relative risk. If I was at a higher risk for stroke or heart attack, or took them very frequently (say daily for arthritis) I'd probably look for alternatives, but there are lots of others things to worry about.

This is the latest FDA update I could find, there may be more information out there:

I don't like it much either, aesthetically, but you can kind of see where you can expect a click to trigger an action, so it has that going for it.
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is poorly named. It does not necessarily imply an inability to focus. It's essentially a combination of impulsiveness and poor short-term memory.

A person with ADHD will have a tendency to get distracted from the task they're supposed to be working on, and will instead work on other things. That's not necessarily bad if those other tasks are important. Perhaps counter-intuitively, the lack of impulse control may even lead them to hyper-focus on a task... just maybe not the one they were assigned.

People without ADHD also get distracted, but they have the impulse control to better resist tempting distractions, and the memory to remember to return to their original task after unavoidable distractions.

My entire view of ADHD changed when I saw a video for parents of children with ADHD a few years back. This is one of my favourite HN comments of all time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17889156
Heh I forgot all about that video, but it’s a very good representation for why this whole deal stings.

It doesn’t help that it’s Facebook, which implies it’s unlikely to have much impact in terms of enabling an ecosystem of third party users (which is unlike, say, Microsoft or Google datacenters).
3Blue1Brown has a few videos where he discusses and uses this technique to solve some complex problems. One of those was for a mathematical competition.

It's also common in audio manipulation, e.g. change to the frequency domain in order to modify pitch, then change back to the time domain.
Depositing money isn't giving money to a bank. It's exchanging money for highly liquid debt and receiving interest in return. Giving money to a bank is a relationship where the bank pays you.

Also, the government already forces you to have auto insurance. This doesn't really seem any better or worse.
a long time ago an organisation I worked for purchased a google search appliance (and actual bit of rack hardware) and I was tasked with setting it up. the inherit limits in this bit of junk made it almost useless, I expended a lot of effort trying to get it to work as it should.
Part of it was that it was purchased without considering these limitations vs the orgs use case.

I must remember that.
I feel like this is really obvious, but writing tests for everything, you're not necessarily saving time right now, but it is an investment in saving 10x time later when someing 100 miles away in a different files breaks and it's been caught, as opposed to it creating a support ticket in a week or two.
A cashless society means no cash. Zero.

It doesn't mean mostly cashless and you can still use a wee bit of cash here and there.

Cashless means fully digital, fully traceable and fully controlled.

This means:

No more tuck-away money for those preparing to leave an abusive relationship.

No more purchases off market unless you want to risk bank transfer fraud.

No more garage sales.

No more cash donations to the homeless you pass.

No more cash slipped to the hands of a child from a grandparent.

No more money in birthday cards.

No more piggy banks or tooth fairy for your child.

No more selling bits and pieces from your home that you no longer want or need for a bit of cash in return.

Less choice of where you purchase based on affordability.

What cashless society does guarentee:

Banks have full control of every cent you own.

Every transaction you make is recorded.

All your movements and actions are traceable.
Interestingly the app is made in Unity. A couple of oddities, but having this leader board function was definitely an interesting idea.

Sadly either my old phone's GPS is not great or my windowsill's viability to satellites just isn't great. It'll be very interesting to see the data pipelines they have to clean up the mountains of data they're going to be receiving.

A tax ID is not a company.

I've started companies in both countries - the burden and costs of starting and running one in Germany is far higher.

In the US, I can start selling muffins, wooden furniture, whatever to my friends, family, and neighbors without doing anything. I can walk into a local grocery store and convince the owner to carry my products. I can test out markets and use Stripe, Paypal, Patreon: any payment service I want without doing a single thing. At most, I just have to pay my taxes at the very end of the year. I can do all that while working 1, even 2 jobs if I want. I can pick up a shift at Uber, then work on my business. You can't just start an Etsy store here.

None of those things are possible here and are all underlined by ones appetite for risk.
Handling VAT is a literal nightmare. Monthly invoices, dealing with the Finanzamt on a monthly basis for the first year or two. Everything comes with stipulations/exceptions and requires a careful reading of the law - which of course, is impossible for anyone to understand, so you're forced to hire a lawyer.

It costs like 20 bucks to dissolve an LLC. How much does it cost to dissolve an UG?

I wasn't trying to insinuate that one country is better than another. With the burdens comes stability. My company is rock solid here. There will basically never be a competitor for me, because the burden is too high for anyone to stomach.
The smartest all around renaissance-savant-genius I ever knew personally was a social worker by profession, who often moonlighted as a lounge pianist. He had a lot of hobbies, and is a published author and recording artist. His musical ability is supernatural. One of his party tricks is taking the sheet music for two random difficult piano pieces, placing them side by side, and reading/playing them simultaneously while mentally adapting each in real time so it sounds like a well written third piece. He is a human GAN.

The smartest software developer I ever knew hopped around several FAANGs and MSFT, sort of round robin, driving up his pay and rank. Somewhere along the way he bought a building and became a property manager on the side.
I agree. Don't stay at a job with bad management. It's not worth it.

... that's been the argument since forever.

A publishing company isn't required to publish every manuscript that comes its way.

A newspaper isn't required to publish every letter to the editor.

A radio call-in show isn't required to broadcast every caller.

And the article doesn't argue "censorship is just spam filtering". It uses that as a starting point to show how people ALREADY accept that a forum doesn't need to accept all postings.

It then says:

] Now let’s expand that circle out as well. There’s increasing evidence that when you have a totally freeform venue for free speech, it makes many people hold back and not join in. For all the talk of “cancel culture” that relies on claims that people are somehow “afraid” to speak their minds, they should maybe consider that the problem might not be cancel culture, but that some people don’t want to have to constantly debate their beliefs with every rando who challenges them.

with a long discussion of the negative impacts on free speech when "randos" are allowed to post whatever they want.

] The end result then, is that you get fewer places for speech, rather than more. And that is an attack on the “principles of free speech.”

Forum moderation is an exercise of the right of free association. In the US that's a First Amendment right co-equal to the right of free speech.
Right, war files are still a thing for people stuck on older architectures involving things like tomcat or jboss. The venn diagram of doing that with current JDKs and modern spring would be pretty narrow. Most people would just use spring boot, which runs as a simple server that starts via a main function. Usually jetty or tomcat in embedded mode. If you really wanted to, I guess you could pack it up as a war file and deploy that. But I've never seen anyone do that with Spring Boot. The last time I worked with tomcat was about 10 years ago before either Spring Boot or Java 8 were a thing.

Nasty issue though and they should close it off.
In ideal world quantum entanglement is possible at any scale, but because their resources are limited, we can entangle only very small objects. They just don't have the resources to entangle larger objects so they introduced decoherence to keep entangled area small.

Figure out the core data structures and do this at different level of abstraction. I'm currently reading through bits of the TensorFlow codebase, and starting with TF's GraphDef[0] was a good place to start. This is great because it's high-level enough that I can understand how TF models are structured on-disk and I can follow the deeper threads (e.g. how does device acceleration work) if needed.

Oh god no. Why the hell would I want less explicitly defined ads and more native ads on forums. One I can tune out, the other pollutes the entire conversation space.
Bad mask wearing and dousing yourself in sanitizer before going outside might be silly theater that doesn’t necessarily stop the spread of COVID or death, but they do tell us something deeper about a society. Like how much they care about each other, how much they are invested in taking one for the team, and how much they are trying to put the greater good over their own self expression. Even if it doesn’t fully work out.

In the US, and Western Europe, we went a different route. We didn’t come together. We followed the individualistic path, not the collectivism path, and those who could, removed themselves from society, cocooned in a bubble of protection, where they didn’t need a mask. Via zoom, second homes, and workers to deliver them stuff.

Others, mostly the working class and poor, didn’t have the ability to do that. They continued making sure society didn’t fall apart, so that the cocooned could run their laptops, eat good food, and live safety. All while wearing a mask, and all while having to follow many other rules.
If only we had some descriptive language to mark up the actual, readable content of a web page in the simplest form and then have all the auxiliary content, table-of-contents, dynamic functionality, and styling described separately so that the browser would know what content is essential and what is optional...
You don't need to lie to give a false impression. Somebody could find out about it, so it's better to just select whatever facts or examples support your argument. I don't think that Facebook would have trouble finding something useful in their little stash of everything about everyone.
I know I'm going to get jumped but let's be real it's a cult behaviour that originates from the cult of extreme programming ("XP").

Some of them advocate for 100% "mob programming" (3+ people working together).

Doing it on a "as needed" basis is common sense and doesn't need a buzzword name either. It's what people have always been doing. But to push for 100% of it is insane and insulting to the individual.
1) Would be great if there was a link to a source repo.

2) "What's Dataset?" (Rhetorical question, but some people probably don't know the answer).

3) In the first snippet, where does "types" come from ?

4) "if you need one you are left with the complexity that is sqlalchemy." -> There are other options. Besides, I don't see the need to speak so negatively of SQLA.
> If you really wanted to, I guess you could pack it up as a war file and deploy that. But I've never seen anyone do that with Spring Boot.

I have actually seen this done. It was extremely underwhelming and provided no tangible benefits versus just having an executable .jar file instead. The filesize difference was negligible and being able to update Tomcat versions separately wasn't all that useful. In the end, the project was migrated over to running as a .jar instead.

Then again, i've also seen projects where Jetty is used locally and .war with Tomcat is used when deployed, which was an inconsistent mess.

Overall, Tomcat is pretty cool but the ease of use with Spring Boot running Tomcat or anything else in embedded mode is really nice.
It’s not even about “saying yes” to discounts, it’s trying to actively persuade Facebook et al to build their DCs in NL, and using subsidies and discounts to entice them.

See also an article that explains in more detail that it actually required a lot of lobbying to get Facebook interested: https://tweakers.net/reviews/9690/facebook-in-de-polder-meta...
Because they're claiming that only 6% of shoppers are successful with searching for products on e-commerce sites. They imply Google can help prevent the 94% who "abandon their session" because of inadequate site search. It's a garbage claim even when accounting for poor quality or broken site search.

> e-commerce search absolutely sucks

Any examples? To qualify as an example, the site search would need to fail to return a product for a given phrase that Google search otherwise finds.

If you email companies outside of Upwork or build a real life network, you can likely get similar contracts.

Worst case you'll have to do an interview (nothing too crazy, outside of FAANGs). A couple of hours of your time is cheaper than paying X% of a year long contract.

You're paying a lot for what's essentially a reputation manager.
I just have a nice website for my software consultancy: past clients, team page, how we work, a few blog articles, etc.

I don't think people go to my website and think "Oh, this testimonial is not a review approved by Upwork.com, it's probably fake and these guys didn't even work for these companies".

I used to be pretty big on freelancer.com when I was still working solo and I stopped using it when I started having a few business contacts I could leverage repeatedly (including some that started as freelancer.com). Finding a job, as a software consultant has never been particularly hard.
Sorry for being too nebulous, it was the guns.
What we learnt from Twitter, and Facebook, and (I've never worked in those two, but I've worked in other companies) is that ranking posts in general increases user satisfaction, and how often they return.

I realise there are a number of tech people who hate it, and it should definately be configurable, but companies aren't doing it to be mean, they are doing it because it works.
Having (indirectly) lost a grandfather to complications following an infection during hip surgery, I think it’s at least worth looking into. So many people die because hospitals can’t prevent infections.

Why not radiate the room very strongly for a few minutes before surgery?
Your points started off well, then just quickly slipped into nostalgia.
