If countering blind denialism means conducting mathematics with regard for anything other than mathematics, then blind denialism it must be.
I think though this is falsely dichotomous, and hyperbolic, and that such assertions have only served to harm their respective political programs, not least of all by causing resistance to and embarrassment for them.

Set anything against mathematics, and mathematics must win.

The National Socialists rued dismissing general relativity as “Jewish Physics”, and the Marxist ideology was made to look ridiculous by the Soviet state’s support of Lysenkoism in opposition to “Bourgeois Biology”. When Stalin asked for a nuclear bomb, his scientists were explicitly denied the use of “Bourgeois Physics” (the very same theory the Nazis called “Jewish”). Ultimately, of course, the concession was made at the expense of the ideology.

There is just physics, there is just biology, and there is no racist or colonial mathematics — there is just better or worse mathematics, the determination of which is mathematics itself.
I don't get it. How can it 'fall' if it is zero gravity?
Not a fan of bill.com either. What’s a good alternative?
I think man pages tend to be more heavyweight than people sometimes; if I just want to see a few of the most common options to copy, it's a lot easier to have a few lines just printed out rather than having to crawl through potentially dozens of pages being piped to `less` and then open a second terminal pane if I want to look at it while I'm typing my command.

Put another way, I think `--help` is basically the CLI equivalent of generated API docs, whereas manpages are like long-form prose documentation. While you can get by with just one of them, the experience is going to be worse for certain use cases, and generally for anything beyond a certain level of complexity, your users will be better off if you provide both.
According to the article always assuming bad faith by the other side is part of the problem that we are lead into. So by calling for the assumption of good faith we can avoid falling into the spiral of bad faith communication.
You'll have to forgive me. I live in a small population state (NM). I trust my local politicians far less than I trust the 3 or 4 we send to DC. When I lived in a larger population state (PA) the situation wasn't much different.

The distrust of large national institutions is, IMO, a result of more than a century (or two!) worth of campaigning by the capital class to try to limit the belief in the virtues of the federal government. I consider the mere existence of this campaign (both overt and covert) to be another piece of evidence that the capital class regard the power of a strong federal government as a threat to their wealth and power. I also find it notable that I never hear anyone arguing for a stronger state government, but not odd because it fits with the general theme: rich people should be left alone to do whatever they want with the assets they control.

I've said many times here on HN that back in the 1960s there was widespread interest in a part of what was then called "operations research" that focused on how to improve the behavior of large human organizations whether they were governments or private. Sadly, that interest faded, and now we just accept private organizational malfunction without saying much, and government organizational malfunction by repeating conservative, "small government" tropes.

That's some serious pom-pom action you just did. There are times when bad faith communication is just a waste of everyone's time. It's great to think that by having a conversation positive results will occur. However, that's not always going to happen. Since I'm not part of a diplomatic entourage where the mere act of continuing to talk past each other is seen as a positive, that same behavior does not tend to benefit normal people. At times, I have chosen to just end/walk away from a conversation just to avoid the energy and inevitable frustration. Maybe it's cynicism, but as you've said, I can't control the outcome but I can control it as far as me continuing to be a part of it.
> After all, https is about ensuring your sites's authenticity to your visitor via a trusted third-party certificate.

No longer especially that pre-LE, those same third-party sites already broke the rules, even with their EV offerings. Everything has been reduced to "is this domain at least controlled by them?" which is easily auditable (organisational verification has been significantly devalued). Now, Let's Encrypt only verifies domains and not trustworthiness (in fact, they won't revoke certificates known as phishing sites). Also EV certificates are nearly worthless unless you want to bypass many antivirus' HTTPS interception.
My philosophy is this:

We live in a market economy.

Charge as much as you can for your work, constrained only by how intensely you're willing to work and for what causes you're willing your work to be used for.

If you're unsatisfied with the social good of the causes your work is used for, redirect some of the earnings towards social good.

I think this is a very common approach, and it's a good approach because it's very simple.
I got an email like this, even better - praising my "contribution" to repo of a single .go file. Letter was from company with Rails and React on their stack. I wrote a sarcastic reply and reported it as spam, but company's founder contacted me on LinkedIn to continue the conversation. I am worried that people like him will eventually destroy all the communication channels thousands of people were building for years.

It's kinda hard to untangle, unfortunately. Like to contrast your point of view about people not liking to see a black person in power over them: perhaps a black person in a position of power was the catalyst by inciting racial discord (not just among whites, but black people too). I wouldn't be surprised, as a black person he was expected to promote issues affecting black people.
Yes, the author completly ignores TinyGo and TamaGo.
It seems like the argument may come from C. K. Raju. See this 2017 article in the Journal of Black Studies, "Black Thoughts Matter: Decolonized Math, Academic Censorship, and the "Pythagorean" Proposition", https://www.jstor.org/stable/26174222

It's readable with a free JSTOR account, which might be worth it if you really care to understand the scholarly arguments, such as they are. At the very least, nobody will be able to say that you don't understand this particular argument.
I think the continuation of this line of thought is often the argument 'their bad faith communication is so effective we have to counter it with our own'.
I hope that this argument under-estimates the intelligence of the silent majority.
No one really was. This bill exists just to score political outrage points in order to "solve" a non-existent problem.

And the insidious way it goes about solving this allows vigilante witch hunting and even more polarization and hate. There is nothing good about this bill.
Finland has a long history of trying not to anger Russia. Sweden to some degree also.

On the long haul, friends of the US have a much better time than "friends" of Russia, especially those with a border to their "empire".

I don't think a lot of people like being allied to Erdogan. Turkey itself is not so much the problem, it is actually a valuable member due to location and contribution.

As I said, non-membership makes involvement of Finland and Sweden in any future wars between Russia and its neighbors more likely, not less likely.
It was bits and things - I think the writers of Hackers leant fairly heavily on the CDC, from the US, but certainly for me the hacker subculture of that era crossed over with rave stuff originating out of the UK and the film makers picked up on that. We used to use BBSes to find parties.

Cmd tilde instantly switches between windows, so there is no preview and so your comment doesn’t really make sense.

It doesn't really matter which CA signs a certificate, as long as that CA is in the trust root of all major browsers and other clients. Which is the case for google's CA.
No it doesn’t. It only requires a small group to agree to be corrupt.

As the organization increases, you are more likely to find people who can band together to collude to corrupt some small corner of it. Number of corrupt candidates increases, number required does not.

Amazon only needs to lobby one federal legislature’s members and only need to battle one federal regulatory body. If all of the power were at the state levels, it would have to scale that up 50x.
I think desperation and vulnerability is actually appealing.

A mentorship involves some metamorphosis. You need to kill a little part of your identity. You morph from a grad student to an employee, but in between, you're a vulnerable jobless person. But if you cling on to that old identity of being some brilliant person with a PhD, the change will be tough.

I used to teach bootcamps. There is a skill bar - you have to touch type, you have to be able to focus on a problem for 15 minutes. If you can't do that, you need another mentor.

But the hardest barrier is identity. People who join a 6 month bootcamp as an entrepreneur and leave as an entrepreneur -- they don't get much out of it and frequently don't write code after they're done. My favorite student was that Uber driver who went in, got a job after 2 months, and stopped attending classes. He just dived into it, destroyed his identity and came out new. He wasn't smarter than the others and that actually helped him.

When job hunting, I ask feedback from every non-automated rejection. All of them are micro mentors, though some have gone out of the way to be detailed. Notably one guy rejected me for not doing well enough in the technical test, so I asked him how to improve. I expected a book or some modern algo training site, but nah, he got good by just playing with Project Euler and taught me that what I needed was patience, not leverage. Another one went through my "tell me about yourself" answer and taught me the importance of catching attention from the first sentence. At the time, I was too stubborn to take the advice, but years later, I planned for applications in the manner she taught me.
Plastic bottle instead of a gas tank: UAV Orlan 10 Russian tech
> Every last "terminal" would be displaying identically the same seconds pixels

Playing Windows Engineer's advocate for a moment:

Yes, you could potentially render out the pixels in some shared buffer, and make that buffer available to every session, or perhaps copy it 100x.

That's data crossing security boundaries, so could perhaps be a vector for compromising a session.

Then there's the consideration for people with different font sizes for UI - say someone who needs large fonts or high contrast modes.

Don't forget different Region settings. Not everyone's dates and times are formatted the same.

Also different taskbar configurations - maybe they've got the taskbar snapped left/right, or have the taskbar height set differently.

You've rendered this pixel buffer, but Session N's UI thread has locked up because Bob is using this application written by a work-experience kid 10 years ago, and it uses the UI thread to do CPU intensive or IO work. So, while it's waiting for a response from a server on the other end of a congested ISDN line on another continent, it blocks everything on the UI from updating.

So now the central time rendering session might have to wait, causing everyone's time to stop updating, at best, or at worst, completely lock up.

Most of these things have solutions, I guess - but I'd say the MS engineers decided "Yeah, nah" on that.
> Isn't it odd that Google would sign their own domains? After all, https is about ensuring your sites's authenticity to your visitor via a trusted third-party certificate.

Why does it have to be a third party? My understanding is that as a user you just need to trust the certificate and it's owner, and as long as the trust is there it shouldn't matter what that certificate is signing.
That was because Amazon is a competitor to Walmart. It's not a risk that would apply to most companies. And it's probably not a very realistic risk, either. Walmart may have just been trying to hurt a competitor.
what is the solution for people who want to use it for frontend only?just importing js libraries that will only need to work on browser so no access to system resources without nodejs or browser? any ideas?
So much stress we have is stuff we just put upon ourselves. Oh man I better pick up or else my partner/parent/boss will scold me. I have to put on nice clothes to go out, I can't look like a slob. I am made to feel bad about how I look. I am forced to spend the day sitting and thinking instead of out foraging and using my legs and eyes. I have an insatiable need for ever more material goods thanks to the science of addiction being applied to marketing. I exist as a warmbody to generate disposable income for another to take, I merely hold currency transiently in its passage towards some inevitable black hole of wealth.

IMO society is almost like this behavioral disease. It's no wonder we are so depressed, when it is so very different from what we have evolved to live by: a life of foraging, working on personal survival, and raising kin.
All other issues aside - it's not the newspaper's job to de-escalate anything. It's their job to print the news.

Should they avoid true headlines that are actually important, because of the perceived effect on politics / international relations?
It's a tough nut to crack. There is genuine utility in being able to follow the respondents in a thread like this. I'm responding to u/ouid but will the next reply to this be from u/ouid or someone new who hasn't been a part of the conversation until now? This alters the dynamic of how the conversation continues to flow.

Of course, once you place a tag of any kind on someone's posts, you can begin to build a profile that destroys any anonimity. Perhaps a randomly generated number that persists in this article's comments but resets to something new on the next one? That gets unwieldy in a hurry and probably still allows the site operator to build a profile.

That's an interesting take. I have found myself using 'social media' lately in an unsatisfying way, exactly because it fails to describe anything at this point.

If anything it is synonymous with 'communication' anymore
Thanks, almost exactly what I would have written!
If that seems "quite different" to you, then good luck!

Personally speaking, SC's approach seems more amenable to composition (in the programming, not the musical sense). Collapsing everything down to core.render() puts the emphasis in the wrong place IMO. The oscillator is better considered to be an independent entity, and the "render" step really ought to be implicit. But to each, their own!
I think the 'critisize your own is backstabbing' thought is much less relevant in private discussion, and that might be where it's most possible to call out and change compatriots who engage in bad-faith communication.

> You are giving too much credit to Putin. All he did was identify already-existing issues and fuel them further.

Yes. But also, fuel on fire makes much worst fire and possibly explosion. While the exact same fire with no fuel could be stopped or would stop. And it will be actually interesting to watch what will happen with politics abroad as Russia will have less money.

Putin was shelling money and supported not just parties in America. And I really want to see what will happen with fascist anti-democratic parties in both Eu and America as Russia gets weaker and weaker. At minimum, they will have less resources, which should weaken them.

> Killing Putin won't do much at this point except to temporarily satisfy the anger. An analogy to me is the USA is sick and Putin is just an opportunistic parasite. A strong, healthy host would be able to defend itself.

I dont think this is accurate. Putin is strongman in Russia, changing strongman means change of policy. Things will change, you just dont know how. And quite likely, it would lead to scramble for power among Russia elite and a lot of disarray. Putin is not just opportunistic parasite. Just like Hitler or Stalin or any other leader, he shaped things quite a lot. He was not magician to create everything he wanted, but he absolutely create situation in Russia as it is.

Putin was president for 20 years. The return to ussr methods is very much his doing.
Even in Japan, about 30% of rail (by distance) is not electrified. It’s more than 40% in France. Generally these are lower usage, so electrification isn’t justified. Hydrogen might be a good option in cases where the route is too long for batteries.
I think we essentially agree. #2 is an interesting point to think about. Especially as the FAANGs continue to consolidate, while there will be a greatly increased appetite for software engineers as labor, thanks to network effects (and a bit of #3) you end up with fewer opportunities for labor to become capital and vice-versa.
Yes it’s called an endemic. A virus that just doesn’t go away and always remains circulating in human population centers. Over time the virus mutates to become less and less dangerous as that enables easier transmission.
There is not anything anyone can do once a virus has reached that phase. It doesn’t matter if you lock all the borders, the flights, ships, so forth. There will always be areas in the world, Africa, India, the Middle East, South America, and so forth where the health infrastructure let alone enforcement of any ordinance is non existent. It’s areas like this already where most of the viruses originate. Not about being vaccinated or not, but the necessary basic health precautions that people may or may not follow. That’s washing hands regularly, covering their mouthes when they cough or sneeze, cooking food well, routine medical checkups, maintaining cleanliness and sufficient distance away from people and so forth. Unfortunately a good portion of the world live in substandard environments where ultimately we’re all affected should a highly transmissible, sufficiently low mortality rate virus like SARS2 originate.
Software updates is one reason

For simpler userspace updates a restart of the relevant processes is easy enough, but it can be a bit more difficult when it comes to kernel updates.

(Updating a running kernel has been a thing in Linux for a number of years, but my systems don't do it.)

I heavily object to the title.

I worked on this project, and it is, by no means, "by Hugging Face".

It was done in a Hackathon organized by Hugging Face along with Google Cloud.

Apart from one person, none of us are or were affiliated to Hugging Face. This is such a misleading title.

Google Cloud provided the free compute. The project was overseen by a DS from another company who now works at Weights and Biases.

Hugging Face spaces are a place to host Deep Learning model demos. This is not created "by Hugging Face".

New high value activities that are available to a somewhat larger population (like programming) can stay disproportionally paid more than the value they bring only for a short time.

Simple things are already happening that will flatten the discrepancies: more and more people go or switch into IT, and those high earning IT people now battle for services of those paid less, so their prices go up as well.

It's a long process, though.

This is not to discount the complexity of high paying IT jobs (and the amount of education needed), but until we reach a point where developers are not at such a stark deficit, pay will stay up, though others will see their pay rise as well.

If I need to give 40% of my profits (and your salary) to the government and there is an avenue for getting some of that money back when you're in trouble, then go and ask for the government for help.

The mistake is in allowing the government to gather more resources and in turn making people dependant on them.

Are there any legitimate wedge issues in your opinion, or is just everything artificially made up?

Your take feels very cynical, along the lines of "religion is opium for the masses". In this view, people are dupes stringed along by Machiavellist figures, who cannot possibly have strong feelings about various topics themselves.

Gun laws may not be very relevant in India, but neither are caste-related topics in the USA. This is normally called a different culture.
