"There is a difference between valid criticism, which should be part of free expression, and this kind of backlash, ugly personal insults, putting addresses of homes and children's schools online, trying to make people lose their jobs."

That conflates some very different things.

Of course posting someone's children's schools because of something they wrote is unacceptable.

There are absolutely things that people can write which they should be removed from their job for though, and where it is appropriate to campaign for this as a response.
The coverage is full of holes.
Pretty much, the "eat less than you burn" is the way to lose weight but the difficulty is figuring out a way to do it while still staying sane

After many bounces (biggest from 92 to 71kg which would be just at "normal" BMI for my height) I ended up aiming for a very little drop, while still eating "normal stuff". The aim is to make it psychologically manageable and not have to will thru the diet every day like I did before, only to eventually run out and get back to the bad habits.

Other thing I learned is differentiating between brain hunger and body hunger. Brain just likes to eat, preferably in nice regular intervals, especially once I got used before that the big evening meal is "reward" for hard day at work, and it took some time to figure out "no, your body is just fine, it's still metabolizing stuff, its your brain that's bored"

I've swapped the bread and other fast metabolizing stuff to help stave off the hunger and slowly get used to just eating one meal (around midday) per day so I get hungry right near the end of the day. Weirdly enough I don't get that much morning hunger and usually coffee with milk is enough to get me by for few hours before dinner.

When I get crave for something sweet I just do it instead of a meal or make meal smaller at later date as snack to stave off hunger till the end of the day. Baked potatoes instead of rice/fries/bread to the meal also work surprisingly well to keep me feeling sated.

WFH have been blessing here as I can just cook my meal instead of getting it in the office.

Excercise did pretty much nothing to me in terms of weight, sure, getting some to feel better is useful but it just makes me hungrier so calories even out...

I wouldn't be too sure. Of course this is anecdotal, but the one Startup that actually replied to my application and said that they were about to make an offer just said they were implementing a hiring freeze as well.
I might just not be an attractive candidate, but I haven't recently found many of those high-paying tech jobs that were so popular in 2021.
Actually, that is perfectly normal in many tax systems, e.g. in Germany. Afaik the tax law doesn't care where the money comes from – it could be from a completely illegal activity, and you still own taxes on gains.
I'm fine with The Economist's Classical Liberal POV (per Adam Smith et al). I unsubscribed become of their support for the Iraq War. (Which admittedly they regretted some years later. But I won't forgive them.)

Fortunately, Western media (at least) is flush with Classical Liberal POV. So it's not like I suffered from the omission.

As for challenging and interesting and immediately relevant, I keep returning to David Roberts' Volts podcast. Explains where the rubber meets the road on the most important topic of the day, climate crisis. The explainers are just terrific. The episodes about the US's Inflation Reduction Act, the most important industrial policy legislation in a generation, have been illuminating. https://www.volts.wtf Of course, economics is central to the whole story.

As for a non-center-right take on economic issues, I'm enjoying Bethany McLean's work. Most recently her podcast Capitalisn't. https://www.capitalisnt.com (Her cohost Luigi Zingales is mostly a dink, so I speed thru his monologuing.)

I haven't really found a leftist economics narrative to consume. Two years ago, I binged on some MMT stuff. Alas, it still feels too fledgling, too exploratory. In short, I'm eager for narratives with some predictive power.

I'm almost certain u/dredmorbius can offer awesome recommendations. Their smart about about this kind of stuff.

Agreed. I recently started playing with my old copy of Turbo C++ in an emulated Windows 3.1 system in QEMU. It was slick. I also have the original box and manuals that came with it though those are at my parent's house at the moment.
Interesting, my first thought was that attribution will add accountability and authors would be more careful of their words.
I think I understand the anxiety others are feeling, especially those not laid off but are actively interviewing. Those graphs show tens of thousands of tech workers from blue chip companies now looking for work. It's not as if the market itself is in trouble, but this temporary supply shock of high quality engineers definitely makes things different.

I personally went from 5-10 recruiter pings per week (our team just closed $___m and we need a founding iOS engineer!) to 1-2. The sky isn't falling, you're right, but I can definitely still see how this round of layoffs would be affecting a current job seeker.

The Youtube video tutorials popping up when searching for specific documentation or programming language features is especially disheartening.

I've also noted that COVID, vaccine related or climate fact checks are pushed to the top when I search for specific topics which are only tangentially related at best.

The outcome is similar for me. I find myself using domain specific searches more and more. This is unfortunate, because it creates a monoculture of information.

The "superstep" that we practically impose upon simulations of entropy and emergence is out of accord with our modern understanding of non-regularly-quantizable spacetime. The debuggable Von Neumann instruction pipeline precludes "in-RAM computing" which conceivably does converge if consensus-level error correction is necessary.
15 is probably not the minimum. There are some ideas floating around for getting down to 14, and some wilder ideas that might get to 13 or 12.

Below that we'd need some significantly different mechanism that nobody has thought of yet. It doesn't seem likely that anyone will be able to prove that universal construction is impossible with a single-digit number of gliders -- but if a solution exists it might take an omniscient being to find it.

... Or maybe some clever hacker will figure it out tomorrow! That's what happened to get us to the current minimum. We were stuck at a minimum of 32 for quite a while, until Daniel Vargas (MathAndCode) suddenly showed up with a new idea.

What I personally do is, I use the "bookmark all tabs" to a folder feature, then I open them (together or one by one) from the new chrome side panel.
And bat bombs:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_bomb
Is there a stigma around it ? I have never noticed it. I guess fat person might hear someone saying "...yeah, you definitely need it"

....you don't have to tell everyone you're going to the doctor, or to what kind of doctor.
I'm of the bookmark generation, my tapbount explodes during active trouble-shooting or research then dwindles to 0 immediately after. About 2k bookmarks.
My bookmarks is a plain html file in my home directory, it is my "starting page" too, so I use it by opening a new window.
I like it because it is easy to edit, human readable, and portable.

I'm sorry that there are so many people with hundreds of tabs open, because theyir use-pattern is why my browser constantly seems to want to purge tabs from active memory, even though I have plenty of free memory and do not want them purged.
For instance, a few web-apps that have no active code or sockets, running, but does have a state.. when those tabs are purged, so is the state..
I can't stand this. When I have data entered into an app like that, it kind of feels like handling a live bomb. God forbid you palm the edge of the screen or fumble your phone.

YFG is probably aware that that pushing tabs off to the side for later consumption can be a big help in maintaining focus and spending screen time efficiently. And it's OK if you don't get to all of them - what a nice problem to have!

If you install Doom Emacs [1] after installing Emacs itself, I think it would be a couple of days. At least if you can live with the things Doom comes with. It's just a matter of following the instructions, uncommenting the relevant modules in .doom.d/init.el, syncing the changes and off you go.

I haven't worked on them in a while to be honest, but for many years I worked on a small snail simulation in my spare time and blogged about it[0]. The project had gone through JS, PHP, and later Go iterations. I also spent a few weeks playing around with implementing an approach described in this paper on open ended simulations[1]. Go was not the best language to choose for this project[2], but it definitely counted as fun hobby coding for me.

Satire and comedy panel shows (HIGNFY, Mock the Week, Daily Mash, etc.) have been a major source of news and debate for me over the last decade or so. The BBC appear to be reflecting this by cancelling all news related comedy shows on TV -- presumably following pressure from the Tory government? The BBC also appear to have put a month-delay on podcasts which prevents them from helping u inform opinions on recent news. These things limit democracy, IMO. I've found such shows (in the same way as Private Eye) will lampoon anyone and so seem quite well balanced.

This all just seems to be one more data point on the chart that shows our UK government to be quite fascist.
Outside the confines of them making official representation about their employer or actions they would take under their authority/power/employment or while on the job, I do not believe there is anything someone writes for which they should be removed from their job.
Yeah, I've been ready the magazine for more than a couple years.

When "nothing is gonna happen" and business was good, there was the need to "support"/sell Ukraine stuff. When shit got real "It was important for the World to don't confront Russia and let it be", when Russia flubbed the military support for Ukraine needed to be much more! more!.

I'm sure now that the war is extensive but also will be long, they'll try to push the "Listen.. you have to broke a deal with Putin."

Every take they had over the years is in line with pretty much every tabloid. My main criticism is they pretend they are something else, some high society deep thinkers, when in reality they are not. They've missed every economic crash and found every one of it the same way all the others did.
Sanctions aren't a magic wand. Stop waving them around like one.

Imparting economic sanctions that constitute an existential threat to a country or its government have a history of less than stellar results.[1]

It's important to realize that the weight (loss) boils down to these fundamentals. Many people delude themselves that their extra weight is caused by eating not healthy foods. While that might be partially true, portion control is hugely important as well. Many people then switch to eating healthier food (containing the healthy weight loss calories, not those gain calories), but still in copious amounts, and then wonder how come they're not losing weight.

So, breaking such delusions by understanding CICO is an important first step, but of course it's not sufficient on its own and people need to develop more complex strategies based on this.
Well, there is SmoothLife (e.g. https://www.arxiv-vanity.com/papers/1111.1567/#S4) where the time step is also made continuous. I suppose you could extend this so that this isn't some uniform value across the entire space, but instead a value that is constantly recomputed based on neighbourhood density.

Maybe its a very regional issue, but where I grew up in Switzerland, I feel obesity and being overweight is mostly seen as a lack of willpower, a sign of neglect or laziness, and therefore when you see specialists, its seen as giving up, even cheating. I mostly take that from conversations Ive had with ppl. But perhaps it was just my environment that wasnt the most enlightened on those problems
This is only true if your hiring team sucks. Assuming the candidate isn't intentionally trying to cheat, I can tell in less than one hour their programming strength only by looking at their GitHub repo(s). Any very strong programmer can do this. The reason companies don't do this is because they contain only weak programmers and/or they value factors other than programming strength higher.

Since devrob asked the question and they link to their github in their HN profile, I took five minutes to check it out. Don't want to spend time making a full evaluation, but it is obvious that devrob's strength is at least above average.
I'd disagree that the BBC is more responsible for a backlash than social media is. I'd suggest that it's social media that shapes the wider media landscape (particularly in recent years twitter), not the other way round.

There's also a huge difference between "just asking questions" and "just asking questions" - and there are a huge number of people who are doing so in a bad-faith manner.

All IMO, of course.
I've just renewed my subscription. I haven't found anything better than The Economist. Their daily news summary is great.

A signature of a function is very different from it's implementation.

"That's just laughably false. There is zero empirical evidence supporting this claim."

There is a reason all the startups are using Python. Just ask Eve Online or Discord. Dynamic typing is great for getting products to market fast.

Neither of them have problems with too many bugs. What you are saying doesn't even make sense, since you would just increase your QA budget if it increased the rate of bugs. So how in earth could the end user see more bugs?

Dynamic typing has an issue but that issue is code performance. Eve Online gets slow downs during massive battles and Discord rewrote parts of their interface in Rust to save on server costs.
That isn't how software security works unfortunately. Secure programming is not a layered service, it's a practice of ensuring each layer is secure in itself. Any software application is as secure as its weakest link.

i.e.:

<secure application logic>

<insecure framework foundation>

^ the above stack is not secure & adding more security on top won't change that.

---

All that said, the vuln above is in your example code & not in the framework itself, so at least there's that. However, I'd suggest one of two things:

(1) Securing just your example code is relatively easy - line 9 involves outputting unescaped data, also known as an "injection sink". This is one of the main things to avoid in writing secure code in general. Simply putting in some basic output escaping of any variables in output strings will fix this easily:

return "Hello, ${htmlspecialchars($name)}";

(2) As a sibling commenter mentions, every single app ever will always require output escaping. So putting it into your framework as a feature will never be "bloat" - it will be used every time. This is for example why most PHP frameworks tend to use templating languages like Twig by default - Twig includes the above feature on-by-default, no need to do any escaping yourself. Adding something similar might be a good feature.
How is that plainly corrected?

He said for the vaccinated the virus level makes it "extremely unlikely". Everybody knows that's completely false. It's anything but extremely unlikely with vaccinated people spreading the virus all around the globe, both symptomatic and asymptomatic.
Depends on what you mean by 'Remote Low-Income Country'. I work for a US company that opened an office in my country, pretty much only because it is much cheaper than the US. We are in the EU and our culture is pretty similar to the US (we grew up watching US TV shows in the original language), and everyone here has good written and spoken English (I say that as a native English speaker).
Social Media is the root cause, the problem is Social media became the "Source of news" for most "journalists" who lazily just regurgitate the same info, using the same "sources" of twitter, facebook, etc.

Nearly every issue since February this year has contained calls to support Ukraine, titles like "Why Ukraine must win" and so on. They're very hawkish pro a Ukraine all-out victory, often describing Ukraine as fighting for all of Europe's (or even the entire West's) freedom.
Feeling Good, by Dr. David Burns is the Cognitive Distortion description and analysis book that deep dives and destroys Imposter Syndrome, as well as a huge number of other self deceptive mechanisms in one's self conversation. It is literally a revolution for many self critical personalities, as it provides the self arguments necessary to defeat one's self critic. After that self criticism is quelled, the tools provided continue to serve as fantastic and scientific discrimination tools for discerning subtle information, maintaining an objectivity that is easily deluded and lost.
It depends, but I think it's definitely a breakthrough since it's the first drug treatment after many years of people looking for a drug to treat it.

I'm about to read about it now so I don't know whether it was discovered randomly or through actually understanding a mechanism they were creating a drug to target, but if the latter it would be a massive breakthrough potentially as it could signal that iterative work in the same area might lead to rapid improvement in the form of new drugs or even just by something like changing the dose in a way they've not yet tried.

How is this not exciting? Breakthrough (and exciting) don't mean "this problem is solved fully".

Or as the experts quoted in the article put it: 'Alzheimer's Research UK said the findings were "momentous".'
> Not having a standard-compliant libc seems really annoying. Also, curl is an IO heavy library.

Emphasis on library, curl is not just a command line tool. Calling a library compiled with one version of libc (actually msvcrXX.dll) from a program or library compiled with a different version of libc (for instance, msvcr71.dll vs msvcr81.dll) means things like file descriptors (not just FILE structs, but also numeric file descriptors) aren't shared between them.
