Yet another article that can't tell the difference between a "falsehood" and a heuristic.

The end goal of most software is to weed out bogus email addresses, not to weed out email addresses that don't match the standard. "a@a.com" is a valid email address according to RFC 5322. But when a user provides such an address, you can be 99.9999% certain that it is neither the user's address, nor anyone else's.

Many programmers are very much aware that "mymail@[123.123.123.123]" is technically a valid email, but allowing such addresses invariably leads to spam and service abuse, for virtually no benefit. Restricting accepted addresses to "normal" ones is common sense, not a falsehood. The same is true for many of the other supposed mistakes pointed out in the article.

I wonder how they could have said:

"As for Pentium PCs... well, they're harmless."

without that resulting in lawsuits.

Somehow I feel that in our world the majority of corporations don't make direct comparisons to their competitors that often, preferring to use "competing brands" or something of that variety instead.
I had a mini stroke, with long lasting problems. Look up “dormant neurons” and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. I did a relatively extended treatment and it helped me tremendously. I really wish I would have done it sooner. I might have been able to save a bit more of my brain.

Besides significant improvements in my work life, the big win for me was eliminating some anger problems that showed up after the TIA, and getting my sense of humor back! Considering my brain is my money maker, it was completely worth it (around $4k for 30 or 40 sessions, I believe).

My TIA involved significant turbulence in my blood flow, so perhaps my capillaries were extra clogged, but you should seriously consider it, if you have any lingering changes. There are quite a few studies about it. The most promising I found involved Oxiracetam, so I included that, as part of my treatment (with my doctors approval, and proper choline supplementation).

I don’t know. If someone was interviewing me and asked how they should stop interview fraud, I’m pretty sure I’d wonder if they were passive-aggressively accusing me of it. At the least I’d feel self-conscious. Which would probably not be conducive to a good interview for either side.

As I remember, the initial versions of Git would have been a chore to use; the intention was for it to be only the "plumbing", with a more friendly front-end layered on top. So it took a good few years to change that, and for it to catch on.

That's a problem for then. The problem we have now can be helped by banning phones.

Operator overloading can be totally useless in linear algebra applications as the algorithms for basic linear algebra operations (read BLAS) aggregate multiple algebraic operations (axpy, gemv,gemm).

I don't think passing state through functions calls add cognitive load: it just make it visible. Global state has the same cognitive load, except hidden.

If a state is passed through dozens of function calls, this may indicate that it is shared by too many parts of the code, or that it is managed at the wrong layer of the architecture. When using global state, these potential problems are difficult to spot.

I took a machine learning class in ~2006 and granted the prof wasn't specializing in studying NNs, but he seemed to have little awareness of the impact of dataset size, convnets were never mentioned, the suggested approach was two-layer MLPs and sigmoid activation functions. The course was based on the book "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach" 2nd edition, which barely just mentions neural networks in passing.

I think there just weren't enough people looking at neural networks back then. At the time, they were still considered a niche machine learning technique, just one tool in the toolbox, and not necessarily the best one.

Also, it's one thing to say that the best of the best had access to computation, but if your university has just one supercomputer, which is shared among everyone, and you have a limited number of hours during which you can use it, that's not increasing your chances at running very thorough experiments. If anything, it's not that we didn't have the compute to do deep learning in the 90s and early 2000s, it's that more access to compute makes a broader range of experimentation a lot more accessible. That makes it a lot easier to find the right training recipe more quickly.

Back in 2009 the enthusiasm around neural nets was starting to grow, as there were some early successes with deep neural nets, but I remember some people were still trying to argue that support vector machines were just as effective for image classification. It seemed laughable to me at the time, but I think that everyone who wasn't a connectionist was starting to feel threatened and wanted to justify their chosen research specialty, which they would keep doing until they couldn't anymore.

> There's technically no reason that copy-pasted skyscraper apartment buildings can't be built to a high standard.

> But there's no reason they can't be built to a low standard.

That's my point. Apartments being copy-pasted implies nothing about the build quality, so it's therefore a criticism of the aesthetic, which is what I took issue with.

> I'm telling you that HKers aren't seeing any of the "ability to have shelter" benefit you seem to be imputing to ugly, identical tower blocks. The wait list for copy-paste public housing is years long and it's a byzantine process to get into an apartment even then. Private copy-paste housing costs an arm and a leg for cubby-hole sized micro-apartments, so much so that 100-200 thousand people at any given moment are living in desperate conditions under spalling concrete, with rats and bedbugs, and shared toilets and "kitchens" that I suspect would give you the dry heaves if you were to take a tour of such places.

If you want to add more good regulations that enforce build quality, I'll be right there with you. I haven't seen a country or locale where the building code regulations have been good enough.

> being sold at exorbitant prices

> copy-paste housing costs an arm and a leg

Okay, so decommodify land, build more good public housing, and allow more private housing by reducing zoning restrictions. But "ugly" and "cookie cutter" and "identical" should not feature into the criticism.
The latter is a subset of the former in BLS statistics and I am using the larger category only because BLS apparently only started counting Radiologists as a separate subcategory in 2019.

You've not been reading good books then.

Stuff like "separate business logic from framework internals" is one of the main messages of any book on software architecture, including Bob Martin's classic Clean Architecture.

Then "choose composition over inheritance" is Object-oriented programming 101.

Then the suggestions to not over comment and "name stuff to be easily grepable" are key takes of Bob Martin's Clean Code.

They are all good takes, but hardly unknown.

I don't want to delegate the port to a program. I want to delegate it to a user. The user should be able to open the port with any server he wants. Apache today, Django tomorrow - fine by me. Furthermore no one else should be able to run the server, they could set malicious arguments which again I don't want. Oh and finally it can get any port it wants with that CAP. I want it to only be allowed one specific port.

What proof do you have that it's lifestyle? My opinion is loosely based on http://achemicalhunger.com/, specifically the papers that found wild animals are getting fat, and the timing.

The things you say are all true, but they were also true to a lesser extent in the 60s, when Americans were much less obese than they are now. They're also not true for wild animals.

Few things I really need in a CMS:

* allow me to create a localized content (you seem to have this covered).

* a good story for blobs (images, video, PDFs, etc).

* integrated full text search (I do not want to set up elastic search when using a headless CMS saas).

* fully spec'd API (when I have defined a content type, I need some API spec to be updated; openAPIv3 was good, GraphQL is better: so I can generate a client lib).

* some mechanism to know the API was updated (so I can show the "a new version is available, the version you run may no longer work in certain cases, please click here to use the newest version" message somewhere).

* a story on content blocks (say: text, image, text, quote, text, author card) vs embeddable content in text blocks (say: a text block with a way to embed images/etc into it); the latter is really hard to do right imho.
Well, technically with a bit of work you can use anything self-hosted that is S3 compatible.

Personally, I rather like:

- https://min.io/

Even if I don't really buy into AWS too much (apart from enterprise stuff), it's good that they went ahead and created a standard for blob storage that other implementations could also benefit from, due to the compatibility with various libraries etc.

Of course, there's also reliance on DynamoDB for this project, though that could also probably be swapped out for something else.

This technology can be applied beyond images, to virtually any data modality.

- Video + audio generation (or automatic tweening for animation) means a single animator can create an entire movie or animated series.

- 3d models and textures + automatically generated animation and behavior trees. This could enable artists and non-technical people to create games and interactive experiences.
> Wife works at a large FI with trillions of dollars worth of assets of under management.

I'm not saying it's not possible in more professional settings; I honestly think Exchanges are the weakest link in the BTC ecosystem since it wasn't devised with such a system, but has found it's way there anyway, as it was meant to be p2p. What I am saying is that it's complete amateur hour, and even those you'd think have better compliance and stricter governance with YC and other VC backing would be better off, would fare better but CONbase is being sued for a myriad of reasons including stock price manipulation. Hopefully it finally takes it out and we can move on from all the baggage that that corpse has had in the ecosystem once and for all.

Essentially, I don't think BTC exchanges are useful for anything but training wheels, the whole point of this system was to introduce decentralized forms of transacting value over the internet n the modern WOrld, and whether it was Bitcoinica, MTGOX, BTC-E, CONbase and all the alt exchange hacks etc... they all end up being so poorly managed that they distract people from the true innovation that is happening--especially during the bear markets.

So far I only endorse and use CASH, simply because Dorsey has made it clear he doesn't want to be an exchange and instead offers on-boarding in the most legally complaint way--that requires a litany of lawyers he can leverage from Square who have already been through the process of expanding into new markets and costs more in fees but CASH has been doing so much that I consider it a fair-trade type of relationship.

But people refuse to see that BTC's strength isn't in trying to recreate the fiat World and merge and shoe-horn wall street into it (ICO, DeFi, and yield farming scams) it's in being able to have monetary-propety sovereignty in a World with less of it as laws are encroaching not just money but private property itself.
Yea so I think we might just end up getting into more discussion on the definition of dark pattern than discussing the issue at hand.

I think I agree with you that this isn't strictly a dark pattern. And dark patterns are generally not tricks per se, just... subtle differences. Putting the unsubscribe button in a 2nd level menu is a classic. I happen to know someone who was tasked with ordering pizza toppings selection in a way to encourage people to choosing the cheaper options.

But whatever we call it, I think this journalist is making a strong point, which is basically hypocrisy.

The media has decided that technology is bad now. So it's just desserts to call NYT on their hypocrisy.

I dont want to make this too political, but I think they project their vulnerability onto technology for their industry's downfall, Trump's win, and cap it off with the racist and sexist 'techbro' slur. They are upset to not be the arbiters of truth any longer.

The aesthetics of public housing in HK is not a factor in the pace of public housing construction or the amount of public housing made available. Appearance and supply are completely unrelated. Supply is maintained at an always-woefully-inadequate level and many are allowed to live in squalor.

This, purely by happenstance, ensures a market for new and used low-quality, cramped private dwellings. In turn, everyone's dream is to manage to get a second apartment to lease out and/or emigrate so that they can retire in, for example, Canada, the UK, or the United States on the proceeds of the sale of their small, poorly-built apartment in a copy-paste high-rise.

Coincidentally, in HK, the government owns literally all of the land except for one or two tiny freeholds (e.g. a very old church is one that comes to mind) and derives a great deal of revenue from land sales (selling long-term leases, really, rather than the land) to property developers. The money from land sales is earmarked for infrastructure projects.

To reiterate: the notion that slapping together near-identical residential skyscrapers in HK helps make housing more accessible is incorrect. Appearance and availability are completely uncoupled here.
