Suppose the FDA, as opposed to Norwegian authorities, approved the vaccine with an indication of over 65, pregnant women, and those with serious underlying conditions. It could be taken off label by others but that was the approval. Would you then say healthy 18-22 year old should not take it?
> I'd love for every binary/library to embed enough information to cheaply unwind during profiling

Definitely! We hope to be able to change this. There's the .ctf_frame format [0] that could be used too. While its design goals are very much aligned to ours, implementing a reader for this format in BPF will be complicated.

> and symbolize shortly afterward

Definitely, I think that C Type Format (CTF) [1] could be a candidate here. Another possibility would be to get BTF (BPF Type Format) [2] working in userspace. While it wouldn't cover everything that DWARF deals with, it might be a reasonable tradeoff for symbolization.

FWIW both in Polar Signals and Parca (our OSS offering) we resolve to async symbolization done in the server, as it's very expensive to do and we want to reduce load where the Agent runs.

Darknet Diaries: Gollumfun (Part 2)
Got it. I agree my proposed rule is arbitrary. I also think twitter must have some form of spam prevention-- any kind of API rate limit would be by your definition be censorship also. I think you might be assuming I think twitter could or should strive to be censorship free, I don't think this is desirable or possible.
Could also be something behind the scenes failing at Twitter, I saw tons of horror stories in recent weeks that people found faded out friends on Twitter, who were in fact actively posting but somehow masked out of timeline and search.
At this point those companies have moved to Dubai so not that useful anyway

“Reunification” with Taiwan Through Force Would Be a Pyrrhic Victory for China
I've been meeting a lot more really cool people on Mastodon than I have in the entire 15+ years I was on Twitter. Discussions end up much more civil, everyone has been friendly so far. It's just really chill not having an algorithm push outrage topics to bump engagements.
Turning YouTube Comments into Art
The author hears you:

> Paper people tend to scoff at the word “cardboard,” which they consider inaccurate and a little gauche.

... but yeah, it'll be probably the equivalent of "blockchain" or "AI"/"machine learning", there's a nuance that bothers some people.
You say "it just isn't accessible to [you]". If I'd install vanilla Emacs today or one of those distros, I'd probably feel the same, i.e. that Emacs is not for me. However, what makes Emacs great is that I can make myself at home in Emacs and design everything the way that works best for me personally, even if that is perhaps highly idiosyncratic. So my advice would be: Install Emacs and if there is something that you don't like, don't ask what you're missing, but simply change it. One thing I hated about Emacs were the RSI-inducing keybindings. And this is how I became one of the first 5 users of evil-mode (which provides vim keybindings). Over the last 15 years my Emacs config has grown to 4k+ lines and that seems bizarre, but the result is an editor that works really well with my personal way of thinking. It almost feels like an extension of my body, which means that I use it without thinking about it. It gets out of my way cognitively and doesn't add extra friction to my work which is already complicated enough. That's worth a lot to me.
That's the result of a survey, is it?
The decision to require explicit global type annotation in Rust has nothing to do with "compiled programs are usually correct, and compiled programs run really fast", you can do that with global type inference.

It has to do with documentation, intent, and clarity. Also clarity of error messages, compilation errors with generic functions under GTI are as bad as C++ template errors.
The reason the wording is good is because the criticism applies to all of them.

The use by Musk of the term "public square" when he's running a private corporation on his own whims is what is causing him problems.
Completely understood, but still completely disagree. My point is that I feel the DigiKey page is not a good introduction if you're starting from scratch. It barely introduces and doesn't explain any of the jargon. It spends less than 2 paragraphs to cover the material from the article, and includes the same plumbing valve diagram. It doesn't cover what a semiconductor is or what makes them useful. It misses all the information about how/why transistors work and jumps straight to how to design around them.

In other words, the DigiKey page fails to answer the question: How do transistors work, anyway?
If by "discrete" you mean rejecting the continuum, then I don't think it's as scary as it sounds. The rationals do not form a continuum, but they are "effectively" continuous -- between any two of them there is another. There are no "leaps" between them, and no concept of consecutive numbers. Computable numbers are similarly countable but allow the expression of numbers that can only be approximated by rationals.

It's the reals that require "bold" assumptions -- numbers exist which are not possible to compute even approximately?

The only thing that matters is shipping (the right thing) when you’re a startup, not environmental costs or saving on an office lease. My opinion is you’ll ship faster due to better/stronger team culture and better communication if you’re in person and that’s all that will matter for success. When you've build a succesful business then you can worry about the other things that don't change your survival materially.
For a long time, Twitter/Reddit/FB have been echo chambers of one view and banning everyone questioning even a little bit. At this point, I think everything is better than those, small communities of real people focused on intesrests. G+ had a lot of inspiring REAL people and communities and I see that Mastodon taking that place while it is not yet infected by the mass-trolling campaigns yet.
I think I would agree if it was truly open and accessible to the public ( say published on government website somewhere ) and not hidden behind data brokers' paywalls with the understanding that everyone is included ( and I do mean everyone ).

The problem is, as it always has been, that there are people and entities, who are above such laws ( usually that short list includes politicians that write them ).

I guess what I really was is clear rules of engagement. We don't have that now at all.

<< (but not my private home address)

I am admittedly ignorant of Germany's laws in that area, but in US use of dba with owner's real address is not that uncommon ( although that is a slightly different type of entity to begin with ). That said, US is its own animal anyway.

<< exposing my home address could put me in personal danger so I have a stronger interest to keep that private as long as my ownership of different companies can be correlated.

I could support that argument, but while one database may not have your address listed, correlation ( and likely finding that address ) is likely trivial. Privacy is only privacy, when it actually works. Window dressing to make a legally sound argument defeats its purpose to me.
The companies backing AVPA (age verification providers association) which include Experian, have been pushing for the child protection stuff, big time. Guess why.
> We can encode the idea of infinite sets and their relationship to one another with a finite set of symbols.

I have thought about this, but it isn't entirely clear to me. For example, what is the bit encoding of the real numbers? Is it really accurate to say we have an encoding of them by just saying we have the set R?

> But we can't enumerate those sets.

Well, that's kind of the point of my question. Is this not an issue?
Most of the interesting data mining happens at the client, not the server.

- I can not put tracking cookies on other people's clients. Twitter puts tracking cookies, can collect location data, can get your contact list...

- If any instance starts manipulating messages from its users to add tracking redirections, people would immediately lose trust over it and drop it. With twitter, there is absolutely nothing you can do and people treat t.co as an inevitable necessity.

- Even if someone went on to analyze the data and tried to use in the messages to give people personalized ads in some custom client, what would be the incentive for people to stick to it? If the publisher wants to have a business model where they want to share ad revenue with the users, they might as well go with something like Brave.
Vtubers are popular because they aren’t in a virtual world you have to go visit. You just open up YouTube/Twitch and they stay in that little window without the possibility of getting trapped in an MMO where you die in real life if you die in the game.

Although some of them are designing “virtual worlds” as an excuse to get around YouTube moderation and taking 30% of superchats.

The store manager we were buying ours from said no one was buying them there. But then again I don't recall seeing any marketing there that they even had it. We only found out through the app and after looking around for one. I imagine McDonalds wouldn't want something that makes their other burgers look 'unhealthy'. I bet their profit margins were smaller too.
This is a subtle form of whataboutism. First of all, this is not my personal activist cause. It's just something where I see people being naive (like the person I replied to) and I want to tell them to stop being naive.

If this was about child marriage, I'm sure many arguments along the lines of "it's part of their culture, we need to respect it" can be made. Indeed, such things are normalized in certain cultures. They are not even considered child abuse. I suspect we are early on in a trajectory where we are normalizing child abuse under the guise of supporting LGBT. What we decide now matters not so much to the children today, but in the indefinite future. Human morals appear to be quite flexible in that regard.
I think the "too mentally ill to care for themselves" standard is pretty high, it's not just "would benefit from psychiatric care", I doubt it encompasses that many people. Which is probably a good thing, we shouldn't be involuntarily committing that many people either.
I've always wondered if, for example, Amazon, could be using reusable totes instead of cardboard. I get that they'd have to transport them back and they have weight, but they deliver regularly enough to my house that it seems doable now - maybe just for monthly things like subscribe and save.
Yes, downcasting performs dynamic type checking. There are no two ways about it. C++ correctly calls this `dynamic_cast`. The only way to completely avoid dynamic type checking in such object hierarchies is to forbid downcast completely, as OCaml does, for example.

Most "statically typed" OOP languages have this escape hatch for dynamic typing because it is very useful, and is usually only performed after a check for the correct type has been performed. or if it is known by the programmer that the correct type is present, but there is no way to express this knowledge in the type system.
And children can get them:

Firefox Translations: Translate websites in your browser without using the cloud
Translates websites in your browser without using the cloud, a different approach to that of google, should protect privacy better. It doesn't handle mixed pages well unfortunately (so the other languages in my RSS feed are not being detected) and I can't force it to translate the pages but otherwise it seems to do a similar job.
It actually did work in the past. The reason cities are so overrun with homeless crazies these days is because we let them all out in the 80s and 90s.
Sharing this as I'm curious about:

1. Is there any similar books about a making of a computer which does not shy away the technical details

2. I'm particularly interested in the Microcode part. I'm taking nand2tetris but I couldn't identify which part I wrote the microcode, or is it non existent in the course?
It didn't happen here, either in my view. Yes, Griffin got rinsed - but the reason his vote collapsed was not that a small number of people watching Question Time suddenly realised that he wasn't any good. Rather, the rise of UKIP took away the non-fascist right wing protest vote part of his coalition, which was always a lot bigger than the National Front-esque true believers.

We're not even on our first go around this University "free speech" game. A previous Conservative government put anti-no-platform clauses into the Education (No. 2) Act 1986[0] during the previous 'politically correct' moral panic. The practical effect is to require universities themselves to make sure that there are facilities for speakers etc. that their students union refuses to host for political or moral reasons. These duties are still in force.

The xfinitywifi network requires you log your device into a Comcast account. It's not strictly a "guest network" for arbitrary devices, it's more of a roaming access to your own account.

Pretty sure they can nail you even harder for piracy on this than on your own network where it might be someone else's device.
> the government who should mandate it for all companies so there is a single national standard on ethics.

I think I agree with this. What could you see that mandate looking like, and what would the "standard" be? Would it be something stronger than the sanctions we have now? As my previous links show, complete isolation is impossible, in the short term, so I imagine this would have to be a slow process.

> It’s simply the choice between taking a loss this year then recovering later, or continuing to make the maximal amount of money this year.

I would suggest reading the references I provided. This definitely isn't a "loss this year" thing. It's losses for decades. It not only requires rebuilding direct vendors, but vendors that supply to them, and to them, and so on.
I see what you're saying, but the post above seems to indicate that understanding those models SHOULD be important to you if your job is to run those models and explain results and make corporate decisions based off your forecasts. You shouldn't be just passing data through and thinking that it's not your job to actually understand things. The subtlety matters a lot as the software hitting some edge case could completely skew the results. There is a vague line drawn somewhere that tells you what is necessary to learn and what is superfluous. Finding the line isn't easy, but those that label too much as superfluous will likely get more erroneous results and that is a problem.

With regards to your API statement, I'm just as guilty regarding reading the code, but I do run some manual tests to ensure that my script calling the database actually does what I think it should. Is that good enough? Who knows :)
Thanks for clarifying! Also I appreciate the honesty in disclosing geo ip analytics even though it be easily misinterpreted. Cheers
Hey sorry I just saw your comment. I think writing could be an effective way to reinforce learning (I am planning to add a text input component in the near future). but for languages I am much more bullish on listening / speaking. In other words, the first side of the card should prompt you to speak whatever word you're testing, and the next side(s) will actually have a recording of a native speaker speaking that word, either in isolation or in a sentence.

It is totally irrelevant, but his party was phagocytised by the UKIP, which made his ideas mainstream. These ideas later infected the Conservative Party and finally they've made it to the very recent Starmer speech to the CBI conference.

Griffin's insanity is ruling the UK.
While there are definitely some terrible ISPs out there, not every instance of someone not being able to use as much bandwidth as they want is a great injustice.

Sometimes it’s just sane network management. LTE networks in particular are limited in capacity. There are a bunch of different ways to limit use with different tradeoffs, and bandwidth caps actually strike a good balance between effectiveness and predictability. I have a lot of experience thinking about and implementing bandwidth pricing models, and I don’t have time to list all the options and their tradeoffs here, but you can suggest one you think is better if you want. Bandwidth caps cause users to limit their use, while still allowing a user to use the network heavily without penalty when they need to.

The real problem here is that OP doesn’t have an intuitive UX for limiting upload bandwidth to something he is comfortable with. Webtorrent then breaks his assumption that web browsing will not incur upload bandwidth.
