>Shouldn’t responsible, independent adults be able to make decisions for themselves about how they spend their money or use their body? This seems appealing, and there certainly are well-informed adults who gamble and use marijuana judiciously. But focusing on these ideal cases and basing our laws on them disregards millions of people who suffer because of their addictions

And what is the solution? Punishing responsible adults for the irresponsibility of the others? This is the exact same argument that was used (and still being used in some parts of the world) by anti-LGBT people.

I'm not on the other side of this argument, but this is often plainly untrue.

Employee fires boss, employee makes more money, boss loses work, pays tons of money, and then pays a higher salary.

I do agree about the power imbalance though.
This is where you could use a builder pattern where you specify everything that diverges from the default using chained method calls.
Legalizing "vice" and protecting vulnerable people aren't mutually exclusive.
If Musk can get Twitter running without being subjected to advertisers goals and wishes then it would be a massive win imo
Probably not. It's likely there are worse diseases out there that we just don't check and keep our normal lives being carriers. But once you know, it's probably better to avoid. I think questioning whether or not doing a pcr test is good use of resources. But I don't think skipping school for a few days is where the problem resides.
Smoking is the intake of carcinogens, a direct health risk. Jumping off a building is the result of unhealthy depression, i.e. a symptomatic behavior.

A vehicular accident as a driver is not a direct cause of driving any more than a pedestrian accident by a vehicle is the direct cause of walking.
Sometimes I drink with that person, and they might socially drink with others, so it might even be fair to say in this case, it's a positive then?

I just have a real problem with talking in absolutes.
> “So even though there are breakthrough infections with vaccinated people, almost always the people are asymptomatic and the level of virus is so low it makes it extremely unlikely — not impossible but very, very low likelihood — that they’re going to transmit it,” Fauci said.

My guess is that the petty little bureaucratic tyrants in the EU would much rather deprive their subjects of new products than give up any sliver of their power.

One could hope that this would cause a rebellion, but recent history suggests that the populace will go along with anything their lords decree.
Except wouldn't the ideal in this case be to use default parameters?

I'd say most of these patterns are supported by NATS, it can do pub/sub but actually also has excellent support for RPC and in the latest iteration it also has a KV store baked in. I've been using it for a few pet projects so far and it has never been the weakest link.
This is a prescriptive definition that doesn’t fully correspond to common usage patterns:

- Some sports bettors apply advanced analytics and win consistently. We can still sensibly use the expression ”sports gambling.”

- Conversely, people ”invest” in crypto schemes that are sure to lose

The conceptual distinction you’re drawing may be a useful one, but I don’t think it perfectly follows the contours of the words ”gambling” and ”investing.” These words are used in different contexts for random historical reasons. On average, the contexts in which we would say ”investing” are a lot safer than the contexts in we would say ”gambling,” but it’s not totally cut and dry.
I think you're mainly thinking of machine learning and data science applications, and so your perspective may be a bit limited. But, of course, you didn't actually give any explanation of what you mean other than mentioning ordinary least squares. Would you like to elaborate and back your point up?

In computational science and engineering, there are many applications in which the SVD is a very reasonable and good choice. Some examples: fast direct solvers for integral equations, model order reduction, solving inverse problems, etc.
Poverty is a problem, but you have not provided any evidence that deflation would help.

Were Twitter's ads ever that valuable?

I always figured that social media advertising was closer to trying to advertise to people who already put all their time into that social media(kinda close to an addict), meaning there's only a small subset of services that are actually sell-able to such a person.
> The internet is an absolutely amazing place that demonstrates that sometimes people just want to share their work and have others enjoy it as well. We see this rarely in the real world where the focus and reward is on monetization

I want to engage in this with a way that sounds nit-picky, but isn't meant to be so. The internet is part of the real world; these people who are sharing on the internet are people in the real world who want to share.

I think a major difference is that reach is so globally amplified when you use the internet. When someone shares something so freely through the internet, it's literally available to the whole world, so I can know about all the sharing done on the internet by anyone around the world. When someone shares something so freely in a way that, by necessity or by choice, is in person, then only those sufficiently near to them will know about it (or at least can partake of it). So, when I look around me in the real world and see fewer people sharing than I do on the internet, it's not because they aren't there, only because I'm comparing populations of vastly different sizes.

Windows 11 released new compact custom version
Windows 95 occupied lower than 100 MB when first installed. A clean Windows 11 install, still, needs around 20 GB. nothing doubts that software
YouTube has numerous similar mechanisms that people have made out of Lego, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1-YeqGynlw
SEO spammers will merely adapt and pollute the data sources used to train the models.

Also, for now these services are spending a lot of money to capture the market, but sooner or later they'll monetize by biasing results towards their paid advertisers.

The end user isn't the customer, advertisers are.
For sure. It's good enough to read text and watch video, but I try not to look too close.
Interesting that little correlation was found. My experience has been that "good" programmers follow the most prevalent conventions of the language so their code is easily parsed by other humans used to seeing it that way. Like I use a braces on their own lines in C# but an opening brace at the end of the line in Ecmascript. When in Rome...
Oh sure. I think we're interpreting the parent comments differently (i.e., I'm understanding sokoloff's and aflag's comments to be about more general precautionary isolation based on symptomatic illness, not necessarily PCR-confirmed infection like logifail's kid.)
Walled gardens suck. Once we had “the blogosphere” and it was great, and then Medium came along and did their best to ruin it. I tend to avoid any post on Medium and will never give them a dime. And as the OP points out, there’s tons of mediocre content there anyway. It’s almost always possible to find better content elsewhere, just needs a bit more search tweaking.
I suspect if a Service Mesh is ultimately shown to have broad value, one will make it's way into the K8S core.

To me, it's a fairly big decision to layer something that's complex in it's own right on top of something else that's also complex.
This isn't actually an elm post or a functional post although I know "a little" about that specific topic.

All new industries or genres or fads or anything really, go thru rapid growth of small players which get gobbled up into a couple giant monoliths as time goes on, which makes them really slow, which allows distruptive newcomers to arrive eventually (although not yet in this case).

So about five years ago I remember a study of the then new-ish functional front end project repos on Github and there were only 25x as many scala repos as elm and about 15x as many haskell repos as elm. So without knowing anything about the techs or even talking about the techs you know as rapid growth ends and consolidation begins that elm's going to disappear because its simply too small. Every 2018 elm project converting to scala before 2023 would just be a decimal place in scala or haskell numbers.

For another example see the auto industry. A century before "the big three" there were hundreds of small car companies. All gone!
If it's undocumented, how would someone know that it doesn't have rate limiting?
as a continued social drinker, or more general doer of anything, i've noticed that anyone who no longer does that thing is typically quite vocal and negative towards said thing.

Set aside alcohol for a minute; this article is saying that because the absolute risk of an activity is not zero, the activity is inheriently unsafe. That's not true, not an appropriate strategy for decision making, and most importantly not an effective way to influence behaviours. This is the definition of perfect as the enemy of better.
* Declare `slow_add` to be used with instances implementing `__add__` protocol only.

* Declare that `concat` should be used to achieve a similar result with other types implementing `Foldable` protocol.

* Carry on.
With freedom comes responsibility. "People can't be trusted to be responsible so we shouldn't be free to do as we please" is absurd to me
You have to look at both sides of the intervention, right?

Like if isolating that kid doesn't prevent any further infections, then it isn't doing any good. If isolating them for 3 days prevents a couple other kids from getting infected, it's less clear.

Using PCR tests to evaluate clearance doesn't make sense though, since they can be positive if there are fragments but no viable virus.
Did other similar companies experience equivalent decline during this period?

Did those top advertisers reduce their spending elsewhere as well?

How many of them have publicly stated their reasons?

How much of the total ad revenue comes from the top 1000 advertisers?

Once we get answers to those questions, we can start making conclusions about the causes and the impact beyond simple speculation.
There were plenty of times to raise rates even before the Trump administration. But there were no major negative impacts until the COVID19 pandemic.

The point is it's easy for us to say this now. Had the pandemic not occurred we'd maybe still be in the position we were in 2019. You can argue for resiliency but you can't time the market. You could argue rates should've been raised in 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. If you optimize too much for resiliency, then you overcorrect and cause recessions, which no one wants. And there'd be people just like you parroting how "i told you they shouldn't have raised rates!"

Now let's look at the facts. Despite sharp rate increases, the economy still grew last quarter, inflation has is normalizing, and the job market outside of tech is still robust. Frankly, hard to think of a better outcome. The asset inflation prior to COVID19 was slightly problematic. But the inflation we face now has less to do with that and more to do with demographic shifts and larger societal changes that needed a spark to begin.
I was specifically thinking of dependencies management. VSCode/IDE is kinda out of scope here.

I find the InteliJ product are good IDE. I use VSCode for node stuff and it's fine.

As daily driver, I personally use vim and build with maven. It's boring, nothing ever happen. I need 2 binary and one edit to my $PATH.
Once in a while I do use IntelJi, to explore new codebase.
Interesting, for those who flagged this post, why?
This is the production ready part that people will usually discover later on their own skin...
So what's the conclusion here? There are good coding styles but we don't know what they are?

Thanks machine learning.
It doesn't matter, musk has a much more reliable and lucrative business plan, $8 for a blue tick, less need for ads.
They need to structure their pricing page better. A quick glance had me thinking that $1200 was the minimum for production use. But the free tier is actually pay as you go.
(Disclaimer: covid averse, lost family member, upset with society for “being done.”)

I’m not sure what to think about this.

A year+ ago, I would have worried that folks would treat a low-risk evaluation as a permission slip to say “the pandemic is over for me,” stop masking/etc, and thus increase the aggregate spread of the virus to folks who are high risk.

But now everyone is already doing that anyway. So yeah, it would be nice to know whether we are high risk or should just let it all go and say whatever.
Exactly. There’s a running joke when talking about code style of “Rich Hickey’s Java” - as the exemplar of weird style. (Which it is if you ever glance at core Clojure’s code base.) But RH in my mind is the epitome of one who understands real practitioner productivity.
Not just showmanship, utility. ChatGPT has utility since “the common person” actually has access.

Deepmind loves doing research and getting accolades from a fawning press while never allowing commoners to access their dear technology for fear that the rabble could somehow misuse it.

Google, you lost your way.
Zork was originally written in 1977 on a PDP-10, which had a ceiling of about one megabyte of memory; it was ported to microcomputers in three parts from 1980-1982, and had to fit into about 48k of RAM and 85-170k of disc space.

It is approximately forty-five years old. The curve has long since moved on.
I had several games back then that where "copies" from other people. But many of these games where unplayable because without the manual you had a really hard time to figure out what to do. It was common for complex games to have thick manuals and virtually no in game help or tutorials.
And there where no internet to search for answers.
As someone who has no idea what Gitpod or Github Codespaces is, I found the explanation online plenty clear: it’s a VM on the cloud pre-configured for a variety of common development needs.

My one piece of feedback is in the diagram for your system with the two boxes (“choose project”, “start coding”) I felt an urge to press the “choose project” box to see what templates you have.

You could leverage that, make the box actually go there if someone presses it. Of course leave the normal call for action that’s at the bottom of the page.

Passive voice is considered bad and gets annoying to read ("GitHub was searched"). "We" is common regardless of the number of authors, though theses are a bit odd in that the work is often collaborative but the document is solo authored.

Just say what you did. "We searched GitHub."
Actually, yes.

Because there is such thing as occasional smokers, and having a curve of how much it affects them depending on how much they smoke would be helpful, instead of the generic “just don’t smoke” advice that they are already not following.

If you drank a spoonful of gasoline thinking it was something else, you wouldn’t want your generalist to tell you “that was bad for you” and keep it at that. How bad was it ? what effect should you expect at that dose ?

The real point I think is, a binary safe/unsafe is of no help in this discussion where people have wildly different drinking habits. I mean, even kids will ingest traces of alcohol in cakes, should we ban it from pound cakes ?
The pico is an amazing little board. Im using it with micro-python and HID library to simulate subtle mouse movements every 120 seconds to prevent RDP session to remote server from closing due to lack of activity. Now with bluetooth support, I can just hopefully toggle it on or off or disable. Instead of removing the usb cable from the notebook.
This. I want to live in a society where I can have a beer on a Sunday afternoon but where developing alcoholism doesn't mean: losing a job, therefore losing my housing, therefore losing my relationships, therefore dying of exposure under a highway overpass.

Compartmentalization. Plenty of stimulant and H and other drug abusers in tech.

Sugar and alcohol are addictive and addictions are irrational and you can't use rational objective thought to get out of a situation that is inherently irrational and subjective, like addiction.

Essentially zero H users, for example, have never heard the news that H is bad for them. Can't just concentrate hard enough to get out of an addiction, they don't work that way. So it is with alcohol, sugar, carb binging in general, etc.

The linear no threshold model of harm for radiation is debated but is the foundation of all nuclear protection policies. To policy, zero radiation is considered best and all increments above that, regardless of size or relative comparison to natural background radiation are bad.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_no-threshold_model

It's extremely hard to scientifically back this or challenge it due to the noise. Some people try to show that low dose radiation is measurably harmful while others try to show that it is beneficial (hormesis).

The best science suggests that measurable, statistically significant harm (in the form of increased risk of lifetime cancer) begins around 100 mSv acute or 300 mSv over a period of time. If you get that, your lifetime risk of cancer goes from 42% baseline up to 43%.

Natural background is about 3 mSv per year on average.

Body also can naturally remove the commonly occurring heavy metals. But that doesn't mean we should consume them just because such mechanisms exist.

Yeah. We should. You can smoke a cigar a month and not be considered a smoker by life insurance companies. You can smoke 4 a week and not be considered a smoker by health insurance companies. I’d love to see actual stats because I really enjoy a pipe and am willing to take a slight risk for it.

No level of automobile usage is safe, either, but I know the risks. My chances of dying due to driving (sober) are much higher than my chances of dying due to having a few beers a week.

I’m fine taking both of those risks.
This is such a silly attitude.

Let's say if I drink 3 drinks per day I shorten my life expectancy by 5 years. And if I drink 3 drinks a year, I shorten my life expectancy by 5 seconds. Ok, no level is safe, but noone gives a damn about losing 5 seconds from their life expectancy.
Making vices illegal never stopped them, it only fed the prison-industrial complex. And ironically, drug convicts are still doing drugs in prison, often with prison guards as conspirators.
I can tell you they certainly went too far the other way in criminalizing it. How many lives have been destroyed because of the War on Drugs?
It's time for MLM schemes and woo supplements to fully move in. Also, Anya Taylor-Joy verified account has pushed laptops recently. I doubt that she is really in need of that. Also, Elon can make a mint on political advertising in the coming cycle.
I haven't used BingGPT but just for example having chatGPT summarize news articles about things it doesn't want to talk about is bizarre - Here's an example of it summarizing a story about a city councilman that was murdered: https://i.imgur.com/QV9jAkp.jpg it completely ignored the murder part and said he switched parties, which it totally made up. A second attempt said he was "shot and changed" because apparently it didn't want to say "killed".

A game Reddit was playing is trying to get it to respond as Woodrow Wilson, a famously racist president - the most accurate thing I could get it to do was this: https://i.imgur.com/D8JLziW.jpg which is not very accurate. Try getting it to act like Sheriff Bull Connor and it will refuse, but it has to comply for a president so it gives a totally misleading impression with major factual errors.

And these are the times I actually got it to respond, it seems 50% of the time it takes offense to something innocuous and scolds you for asking.
I do prefer tcl quoting to bash quoting, but you do have some mental overhead when writing procedures, since unpaired braces inside quotes may do surprising things, if you're thinking "writing a command" rather than "raw strings". Comments are similar.

That being said, those are very much edge cases.

More damning, from my POV, is that you can't get ref counting of things like C objects or file handles, since they're just string handles. But there are a lot of uses that don't need that

And too much of the criminalization of vice focused on punishment as a deterrent. Which does little too help out prevent, and instead pushes it to the margins where folks are least capable of doing anything about it.

So what is the proposal? Regulation of advertisement is fine. Makes sense, even. Legal does not have to be uncontrolled. As such, pitching that extreme as where we are going is a scare tactic.
