I prefer vulgarity to censorship, regardless of whether it comes from the left or right. Trump's issue was his complete incompetence, not his vulgarity. Not that I liked his vulgarity, which was hardly presidential.
This doesn't necessarily mesh with what we see in reality though. The Economist doesn't use a byline and they're known as having very high quality content. Even if it's slipped a bit in recent years, it's slipped less than writing in general has. Writers who create their own brand tend to create echo chambers, because readers seek out those they trust (i.e. those who don't challenge the readers preconceived notions).

I think the biggest predictor of quality writing is the business model of the publication. Subscription based content is almost always superior. Anything that relies entirely on ad revenue is general hot garbage.
Some, probably vitamin C. But that can be recouped with produce that always has lots anyway, e.g. tomatoes.

GitHub is often used when it's there to build expectations. Interviewers will get to see a candidates resume and I always looked at it before interviews myself.

If the interviewing is inconclusive it's sometimes directly consulted by the decision makers.

More pragmatically. How do you know they wrote the code on their github? Do you expect people who are already working for a company to write even more code when they're not working? How will candidates get a feel for the company themselves? How do you ensure some level of consistency? How would you generate documentation that could be used in any kind of discrimination case to protect yourself? What kind of systemic biases do you think GitHub/portfolio review style interviewing would create. How do you understand a person's disposition without adversity?

I can't say how many candidates I should have passed but didn't, but pretty much every candidate I said yes to performed the job itself pretty proportional to how they performed in the interview.

It blew my mind when, as an adult, I learned that there were only 15 episodes of Mr Bean (with one of those being a "Best Bits of Mr Bean" episode!).
To me this sounds like loneliness caused by lack of community. If you could make some friends, from all ages, walks of life, you'd probably be much happier and have perspective on things. The challenge is the place to meet people. I'd recommend doing some volunteer hours, for various causes that are worthwhile and a way to meet other people. If one is ever depressed, a fast way out of it is to help someone, in person (rather than remotely) and see a smile that you helped put on their face. Others mentioned church. That might be worth exploring, if you're open to the idea of such beliefs. Preferably something fairly mainstream and diverse rather than wacky or cultish. Good luck :)
This has been my experience as well.

Ruby gives you footguns and you can certainly do ill-advised things... but in practice I just don't see it happening very often either in open source projects or in private corporate stuff.

Why?

Because IME there's rarely even a need to go down those paths at all, unless you are writing a framework or doing something else "meta."

99.99% of Ruby I have actually seen is either simple scripts or bog standard OO stuff.

Your numbers are way off. Adding 10 lbs of muscle won't increase your basal metabolic rate by anywhere near 1500 kcal/day. Something like 150 kcal/day would be closer to accurate.

It's not just about calories and metabolic rate. Lean muscle tissue is also a crucial component of the endocrine system, and it acts as a glucose sink to prevent the energy in that glucose from being stored as fat.

It stopped being helpful a while ago. It's now moved into being harmful.

A popular scheme among shady SEOs and marketers is "rank and rent." This is where they choose a major city and a common contracting service (eg, plumbing, carpet cleaning, fence building, home remodeling, etc.).

Then they register domains using generic search terms. They build a website presenting itself as an independent local business. They even go as far as lying on the about us pages claiming years of experience.

They create content on the site, social media profiles, and business listings.

When the site begins to rank well enough to generate leads, they either rent the website to a local contractor and/or sell them the leads.

It sounds helpful, but it's shady. First, they're usually competing with the local contractors for search space. Second, they usually rely heavily on fake Google Business Profiles.

While the latter practice violates Google's guidelines, getting them removed is tough. That's because they pay local residents to "borrow" their home addresses. This allows them to get the verification code sent out by Google to verify addresses.

For our family business, we've even had them report our Google Business Profile on several occasions because we were outranking them. Then they had the gaul to try and rent one of their websites to us.

In the end, the practice is harmful to local contractors and customers who don't realize they going through a middle man.

I've had success with calorie counting (lost 65lbs!), but I could only do it when I was mentally healthy.

Once my depression set in, like the author I ate to feel better because it was one of the few ways I could feel anything good at all. Not just the taste, but the anticipation was a form of hope for something better when I was hopeless. The worse I felt, the more I binged.

And like the author, between the behavior and the meds I climbed to 300lbs (up from 163).

I'm finally making progress on my weight again, through strength training and through being mentally healthy enough to make decent dietary choices.

But when I was in the thick of it I barely had the strength to hang on, much less exercise methodically-calculated denial of my immediate desires.

For many years I recommended everyone on my team (that was interested in retooling their brain in a more functional way) read "The Little Schemer". My only caveat is that they read it without touching a computer. Like... read it on an airplane. While I had no interest in using Scheme/Racket/Lisp for actual work, I found that it brought so much simplicity to my thinking.
I don't think "issue" is the right term. It's a caveat and as long as it's displayed visibly (it is) it's fine.

It is the right question. If a term once considered offensive no longer is one, and there's no one who gets offended by it, is it still offensive?

> With the whole English language to pick from there are probably better choices that are less ambiguous.

Given infinite time and finite language, every term will become offensive. What then? Especially considering the euphemism treadmill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphemism#Lifespan

> superbly coherent design [...] NT is pretty neat, and I would dare say, beautiful in some places

Practically, though, it's a shit show. My "favorite" is the inability to delete a file that is open by another process. Combine this with Windows Defender that scans every file that your application creates, and now you have no reliable way of deleting or moving your files.

As someone who works on a C/C++ build toolchain and has to deal with Windows design decisions every day, I can tell you without any hesitation there is nothing coherent or beautiful about it. I don't think even Microsoft believes this.

The difference between thinking before speaking and self-censorship is that in one case you don't say something because you think it isn't true, and in another you don't say it because you are afraid of people finding out that you think it isn't.
There is https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest, which can run the Android JARs on MacOS or Linux (by shimming/implementing the Android APIs it uses), but a few months back one of the updates dramatically changed the rendering system, and the lone(?) MacOs/Linux maintainer of mcpelauncher is still catching up. See https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-manifest/iss...

Until that breakage, I ran it quite successfully on MacOS (although it _did_ have occasional crashes)
The effects of it are still working through the UK economy. The one group that had a valid, if selfish, reason to vote for it was people in low paid jobs.

Best to keep both FT and Economist.
To try to be as charitable as possible to the journalist who wrote this line, I'd say it means that there was a moment when "we" (society and our institutions) might have been able to intervene in this man's life in order to treat the drug addiction and mental illness, and that we failed to do so, and now we have a face slasher roaming the halls of a res hotel with a knife. There is some merit in this. And when I say I agree (to an extent), I mean it, but "getting the help he needs" clearly means commitment to an institution, and ideally we'd find a way to do this before the face slashing occurs. Kind of like how we don't wait for a drunk driver to kill people before we start enforcing laws on drunk driving, even if the drunk driving is the result of a deep addiction and/or mental illness.

However, I ultimately have the same reaction you do to this sentence. The pure language of compassion shows no compassion for the victims of this crime, or the horrifying and brutal nature of this crime. It really does pinpoint the source of paralysis in a very progressive city like San Francisco. I have trouble believing that we won't reach some kind of turning point, mainly because the failure is just so spectacularly and overwhelmingly undeniable.
You're pretty much right on the money. For ParaCrawl[1] (which I worked on) we used fast machine translation systems that were "good enough" to translate one side of each pair to the language of the other, see whether they'd match sufficiently, and then deal with all the false positives through various filtering methods. Other datasets I know of use multilingual sentence embeddings, like LASER[2], to compute the distance between two sentences.

Both of these methods have a bootstrapping problem, but at this point in the MT for many languages we have enough data to get started. Previous iterations of ParaCrawl used things like document structure and overlap of named entities among sentences to identify matching pairs. But this is much less robust. I don't know how they solve this problem today for low-resource languages.

Is it a photograph of a snow leopard with some alterations in post processing or is it a photograph of a mountain range with a snow leopard inserted after. That is the line.

All photos are edited, the act of saving a pattern of light onto a film or digital sensor itself is a form of editing. The choice of camera, lens and parameters is a form of editing by itself.
Yeah, I don't see how you could be a lifer without having your standard of living collapse compared to peers over time because of that. If you want market rate, you must move.

NT upto 4 was beautiful when it was released in my opinion.
It was a "serious" "workstation" operating system.

The ability to run different "operating systems" was neat.
The graphics stack was all in user space.

That never happened.

NT4 was not made to be the best OS for games.

After that Microsoft has cut a lot of neat parts out
and bastardized the clean separation between the kernels
and user space in order to make the OS faster.

I wish they had branched it

I have noticed this since joining a new team this year. There is one person on my team
who is always annoyed and complaining about something but really they just dont get anything done. There are various times I had to work with them, and when there are no blockers whatsoever they wont do shit.

I would love to be able to say “do something about it” when they goes on their rants but american culture is too polite. Most of their contributions to team meetings is
“docked has this new thing that could be helpful” and various other name-drops. Idk if the rest of the ppl are fooled or its just a thing we put up with.

Than what? The Economist is UK based too.

The Economist tends to favor the US because the Economist supports liberal democracy and free trade worldwide. The Unites States is the only country who can and does defend those values. Europe cannot arm Ukraine against Putin. Japan cannot dispute China's claims rights to Taiwan or the ocean.
"That implies way more than those companies are influencing the boards.", you mean that based on the pertinence of those debts to the company business (and the identity of their creditors), a regulatory administration could decide if it is some tax evasion scheme or something else?
> E.g. last issue EU is frozen and claim so many people will die in Europe due to high energy prices.

I haven't seen the article, but it's not a _completely_ outlandish idea; consumer energy prices are up a lot, and in countries where governments haven't taken step to subsidise and/or control energy costs, particularly for elderly people, you would expect deaths.

Now, in practice most countries _have_ taken such steps; if that was left out of the article that would certainly be a concern.

Apologies if my comment read with the implication that she needed to? To clarify, I don't care in the slightest whether she adds a disclaimer or not.

After reading the article, which was pretty blunt, I was trying to figure out whether she had been forced to add a disclaimer of sorts (because had that been there initially, I would have assumed it would have been mentioned in the article). I guess her work went 'viral' and now people are accusing her of being dishonest in a way that (again, I assume!) she (most likely!) didn't set out to be.

At least that was my take. I could be completely wrong and she could have set out to manipulate the entire world - but I'd prefer to give her the benefit of the doubt. Hanlon's razor and all that :-)

Show HN: OpenStreetMap statistics that can be updated with GitHub actions
Hey there, I'm an OpenStreetMap enthusiast and I was curious what kind of impact the app I am using has (I use StreetComplete[1], an easy-to-use Android app to add missing information). I couldn't find data for all my questions and some were not up to date, but I found a few starting points on how to do it myself[2][3]. Soon I realized that many more interesting questions about OpenStreetMap in general could be answered with the data and I created a website (https://piebro.github.io/openstreetmap-statistics/) to show them. Since I want the data to be up to date, I added a script to update everything easily and packed it in GitHub Actions so I can update the data with a few clicks every month.
