On the other hand, now that we know about it is easy to defeat: a privacy conscious browser will just add a random amount of minutes/seconds in the “if modified since” header. The only risk is you sometimes trigger a reload because the resource was modified in that interval.
This is a common myth but is not true for H-1B visas. It is true for EB2 and EB3 green cards, however.
Yes, the IP can be used to identify people. If you want to track users using their IP and respect GDPR, you need to get their consent first.

The best is to not store them before you get consent. Having a temporary access log with a few IPs is probably fine. But keeping all your access logs forever for analytics purposes is not fine anymore.
If you read my comment, you can see in the first few words I mention how you can do a delete transaction and it will delete it when it's not being used anymore. Or you can also just open the file with the share delete flag and it will allow the same. And linux doesn't handle it perfectly, you see errors like "text file busy". I don't get why you chose to argue how the non recommended, brute force method, is lengthy. It's not intended to be used and was mainly just to show you can, and there's nothing stopping you.

Why is explicitness bad? Would you rather have those weird errors on linux where it's open by default? Or have it where the program author has to say "Yes, this file is fine to be deleted while i'm using it".
The kind of repl the author refers to is strictly Lisp-based. Your F# repl wouldn't be any different from a Python or Ruby repl and falls well short of the Lisp/Clojure repl experience which is based on the code-as-data feature of Lisps.
I would say overall that oil and fossil fuels have done far more good for humanity than harm.

They enable us to feed our population. The global trade network have lifted billions of people out of poverty. Global literacy is at the highest it has always been. Fossil fuels enable us to be able to accurately track and predict hurricanes. Basically, our whole modern economy is built on fossil fuels.

The most valuable resource on earth is human knowledge and ingenuity. Thanks to our high population, reduction of poverty, and global education, that resource is the highest it has ever been.
Struggled to parse this, but why would it be a problem that he was wrong about things outside his speciality? A professor of astrophysics being "wrong" about his opinions on whether eating meat is ethical says very little about how right he is on exoplanet mass distributions.

(I happen to agree with Stallman on his non-software views that I know about, so am a bit curious on what you disagree with)
> Just remember that a person's worth with God doesn't depend on how good looking, thin or tall they are.

This is true in general. Nobody's worth as a human is measured by their appearance.

Biblical quotes can be off-putting if you aren't Christian, but you can find wisdom even in things you disagree with/don't believe.
It’s more fundamental than that: this is what happens when you do something based on fear of being left out. Consulting companies like Gartner were heavily pushing blockchains half a decade ago, and even if they can’t convey a concrete benefit for something there will be some fraction of listeners who think that they need to buy some and hope it’s useful because they’re afraid of being asked why they didn’t in a few years. It’s the high production values version of the salespeople who’ve shown up here for years saying crypto is the future and you’re old and obsolete if you don’t buy whatever they’re selling.

This same dynamic shows up in other areas - e.g. big data, AI, security – but blockchains are an outlier in terms of how little value the technology provides. A lot of big data / AI projects didn’t deliver the huge win promised but turned out to be a good umbrella for getting funding to clean up a ton of data and processing, for example.

Frankly Elon mostly caused this upon himself. The media love a hero, and he was the darling genius hero that'll save humanity for over a decade now. I hope you understand how this image the media helped build for him has direct effect on him being able to attract investors, their capital, forge deals with governments, get subsidies, attract quality employees, and ultimately make a ton of sales to end users.

Media gave Elon a lot, and all Elon had to do is keep his inner asshole... inner. We all knew the reports from whistleblowers about questionable behavior and safety in his factories. We know he's been fired twice from his first two ventures. We know a lot. And we ignored it. Because we wanted to believe in the genius hero visionary.

But it's hard to ignore when he's making an ass of himself 24/7 out in the open, on Twitter, and in front of the world.

He attracted all this attention, he wanted it. He entered with a "sink" remember? He wanted the media to cover this. And then he proceeded to act like a lunatic. Firing people, rehiring them, firing them again. Launching a feature that caused mass impersonations, removing it. Trying to launch it again. Delaying 3 times. Picking up an UNHINGED battle with Apple over a "secret tax" that was the highlight of a public keynote by Steve Jobs in 2008.

And see when the media has glorified someone SO MUCH, and he's completely betraying that image and embarrassing the media... the media feels responsible to reciprocate by basically "wait a second, we always said we love Elon, but we don't support this... or that... oh my god he did what? we totally don't support this". They have to do this. Because the default over the years is they support what Elon does by default. And he made it impossible for them to support him.
This is so incredibly cool. I love everything about what Ink and Switch is doing here - the what, the why, and the how. Even the presentation -- the website post per se -- is just gorgeous. It'll take me time to absorb everything in it, but it's already become the first thing in years to make me think I might want an iPad (vs my trusty reMarkable2). Amazing work, bravo, thank you for sharing. This is precisely the kind of thing that helps remind me that excellence and craftsmanship and the high-minded diligent pursuit of worthwhile innovation are still to be found and celebrated.
In what ways is he crazy?

Seems more sane than the average person from what I've seen.
CNN had a great reputation back in the day.

What happened far more recently was they hired political activists pretending to be journalists. They were allowed to publish lies at the cost of their reputation. CNN ran out of reputation, now must pay.

I see no more than Groups in your comment. Which are very useful! Also having commutative operations makes for Abelian Groups, which enable operations to be reordered, and makes for implicit parallelism.

Where is Category Theory?
in theory it should solve itself, companies that adapt or new companies that form will be more efficient and cost effective and put these other companies out of business.

In the short term these people can use words to justify decisions but eventually it will show up in the bottom line and everybody will find out which model is superior
The headline is not very misleading
> why is it so easy for so many people to stay a healthy weight without even paying attention to it, and for others it require constant attention and suffering?

Society and the easy access to indulging high caloric and straight up unhealthy food. You don't see a lot (if any) fat people in certain parts of the world where access to cheap, unhealthy, highly caloric food is not as readily available as it is in the US. The literal problem around here is "I have too much access to food, and I'm unable to stop myself from eating it".

Some people get addicted to cocaine, others to meth, heroine, others to alcohol, and others, to food (Sugar has been found to be MORE addicting than cocaine BTW). So it is an addiction problem, but because it is tabboo to tell someone they should eat that much, it becomes a hard problem to address.

They appeal to emotion, i.e. "I will be hungry, do you know how hard is to go hungry?", yeah, thats your body craving its addiction, you know how hard is to quit alcohol cold turkey? It literally can kill you, so its almost the same with food.

Someone else commented that some people lose a lot of weight, and then they gain it again 5 years down the road. Thats because the adiction won, at that point you gotta treat your food habits like an addiction. At least with alcohol and drugs, you can literally avoid it and not go near it, and still live fine. You cannot live without food so it makes the tempation of overindulging even higher.
I count 16 separate posts on twitter for something that could have been more readily digested as a single blog post. The author has a blog at https://samcurry.net/blog, why not create a blog post and link to it in a single tweet? Parsing it in its current form flairs up my ADD to the point I can barely follow along.
I see plenty of advice on technical writing, which typically concentrates on how to structure things on a large scale, and how to make the words clear on a small scale.

But when (as very often happens) I'm reading documentation and I find it's less than satisfactory, the main problem is rarely the structure or the wording.

The main problem is nearly always that the information I need just isn't there.

So please, if you're training people to write, tell them to always keep these in mind as priorities: "Are the terms I used here defined elsewhere in the document, or else ones that I can assume all readers already know?", and "Have I actually said what this thing does?".

Strong disagree.

Using jargon like "upskill" is indicative of the kind of thinking that leads to bad writing. It's a very easy to habit to fall into where you "write" by just sort of stitching together the nearest cliches, phrases, and jargon that come to mind. It's how we often talk and how we often write.

Unfortunately, writing like that is never good. By being a lazy pastiche of the familiar, it swaddles what you're actually trying to say in layers of non-information carrying fluff.

To improve your writing, you have to break that habit. You have to train yourself to introduce deliberate thought into the step between "vague idea in my head" and "linear sequence of words".

When you force yourself to cut out the jargon, that inconvient friction gives you a moment's pause to remind yourself to think about what you're trying to say.

Also, jargon usally has negative value. It says the same thing as simpler non-jargon words, but mixes some in-group signalling with it. In-group signalling can be a useful positive signal ("Trust me, I know what I'm talking about because you can see that I've absorbed the culture") but it can also be alienating for readers that don't feel like comfortable members of the tribe.

I try to use a little jargon here and there just to reassure people that I know the lingo and context of the local culture but otherwise I mostly focus on saying what I mean.
I meant "we" as on a news site like this, "Company Not Laying Off" will never make a headline. Yes, employees and good investors/owners do care.

It’s not that great. I was laid off in late 2019 with about 4 months severance. I was constantly interviewing and networking. And then Covid lockdown hit near the end of my severance. At no time did I feel like I was on vacation.
I'm amazed by how HN just takes every piece of data at face value and starts reacting to it like it's gospel. News story after news story. This place is no different than Twitter, Youtube comments, etc. It's very sad to watch.
I haven't ever heard of any concrete security issues with Huawei phones.

Huawei has been under extremely strict scrutiny for years (and even got hacked by the NSA, as Snowden's documents revealed), so the fact that nothing has ever stuck makes me think there really is nothing there.

As for this story, color me skeptical until some actual details come out.
Well, the earth would be a frozen ball of ice if it weren’t for the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, and over a period of a couple hundred years scientists figured out that the balance of carbon dioxide is critical to maintaining a certain average temperature of the planet. And then they started measuring the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and they found it is rising annually in direct relation to human industrial activity. They further found that the average temperature of the earth was rising in exactly the amount we would expect when raising the carbon content of the atmosphere. Lots of scientists have looked for other explanations, and after doing tests and measurements they’ve found those factors not to be the cause.

Basically, we’ve used the scientific method to examine the evidence and having done so it’s quite clear that human emissions of carbon dioxide are the cause of changes to the greenhouse effect.

Here’s a great video on the history of this science which I just watched:

This was basically how things have worked and continue to work in (particularly rural) areas where policymaking is lacking and people are left to their own devices. "Bullied" kids seek help from their immediate peers, from their/their peers older siblings, and from adults, roughly in that order. Parents typically do not hesitate to suggest aggressive escalation as a conflict resolution strategy. This strategy is often applied successfully.

I'm suggesting that the current "zero tolerance" approach practiced in North America does more harm than good by halting this process before it can resolve conflict - thus harming both the bullied and the bully.
Problem: "Existing research indicates that (a) being bullied in childhood is associated with distress and symptoms of mental health problems...; (b) the consequences of childhood bullying victimisation can persist up to midlife and, in addition to mental health, can impact physical and socioeconomic outcomes."

Solution: Let 'em work it out themselves.
But you can study all of that stuff without category theory.
Treat it like the addiction it is, and you said it yourself.

Here's a copypasta from another comment I made.

"Too good at the game"? That's just sour grapes. One could have made the exact same arguments against another newly-emancipated minority back in the 1930s or so, and come to think of it, that's pretty much what happened. It's astonishing that this thinly-veiled hateful screed was published by a self-described "critical" venue. They're supposed to know better!

I’ve traveled around and looking into residing outside of my native USA. It’s much easier in many places to get residency. You can get a job offer which leads to a work visa pretty easily. You can start a company and hire yourself. You can simply apply for residency if you have foreign sourced income. You can buy a property or invest. There are lots of options, and most of these options are not options in the USA.

Wrong.

Wrong.

This is very cool. I was actually trying to do something like this with a side project over the last few years that lets you sketch out wireframes and add in logic and various custom components.

For me there is something really powerful in drawing freely with a pencil and not being constrained by the way tools (Figma, etc) make you think.

Are they going to keep publishing this story every six months until patients start demanding the drug, creating public pressure for insurance companies to waste their money on it?

As far as I can tell, every news outlet has decided to publish a story about lecanemab today, and I can't detect any new information in any of them.

Would love for someone more knowledgeable than me to explain if anything has changed since the result of less than a half-point difference on a checklist after 18 months. Would also love for someone knowledgeable about PR to explain how these stories are coordinated so well. Is is just a random press release getting lucky on a slow news day, or is there more coordination than that?

It's certainly not the worst way to go out.

But the truth is that good jobs are going to be very competitive over the coming months. Many being laid off now are likely to end up accepting comp packages far below their previous comp. The doors are pretty much closed at the usual FAANG types

The bigger news to me was that Apple blocked AirDrop in China - specifically to limit dissent and for preventing people from organizing [1]. A company that misses no chance to showcase its liberal credentials, bending over backwards for perhaps the most dictatorial government in the world to suppress the most basic of freedoms.

To quote from Apple's article on racism [2], "With every breath we take, we must commit to being that change, and to creating a better, more just world for everyone." I guess according to Apple, Chinese people don't deserve any of what's written in their post.

You're right of course, at the individual level. But on the macro level something is clearly broken with Gen Z and their ability to interact in social situations. Anything that can get them interacting with humans more on a regular basis, I think would be a net society benefit. They are literally rudderless and it hurts to watch them be so miserable because it is entirely fixable. The lives they lead are not natural and it is messing with their humanity.
