I found search engines kept directing me to pages on Stack Overflow where the code doesnt work and reading the comments to solutions reminded me of this https://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm

Currently, I'm finding no law firm in the UK that I email from protonmail ever replies, the only people who reply to me are the police and NHS, which perhaps gives others an example of the torture the state is prepared to carry out on people, which in my experience has been since before primary school.
Wile E. Coyote's main strength was his DoD-like blank cheque spending ability at the defense contractor Acme Corp. His access to advanced technology was the super power that ultimately leads to his downfall.
The article isn't _wrong_ - React, Redux, and Next are all still the leaders in their respective categories. (And I say that as the maintainer of Redux and someone who's active in the React community.)

But it's also worth noting the article is basically a listing of "Things Eric Elliott Prefers Or Wrote", including the bits on Web3 and mentions of several libs he's published, rather than a more useful and meaningful examination of tools and tradeoffs.

FWIW, I actually did write up a somewhat more detailed look at ways to measure library usage metrics a few months ago, including discussions of the value and flaws in looking at stats like NPM usage downloads as a comparison point: https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2022/07/npm-package-market... . Not saying this article needed to go to that depth, but personally I'd find that sort of approach more valuable than just a "here's what I prefer" list.
> It's been three years since a question I posted to SO wasn't closed within the first ten minutes of posting it and downvoted for good measure

sigh.

How can these kinds of jarring experiences be eliminated?

This was my experience years and years ago. I think the quote was:

"This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion"

This just made the site about as interesting as hanging out at the DMV. (actually, the DMV might be more interesting, because it's full of people)
Sure, half the time -- and even then they are usually beneath the stale answer.
San Marino is an easy place of doing business, a country with 34k citizens in wich you can really meet with the top brass to solve your problems. The problem is getting a clearance to start and reside in the country. They can get quite picky about the businesses but if you are in manufacturing or "light" research they are already oriented to service you.
You're right, probably not harmful at all:

"The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said some or all of the emails deemed to implicate “special access programs” related to U.S. drone strikes. Those who sent the emails were not involved in directing or approving the strikes, but responded to the fallout from them, the official said.

The information in the emails “was not obtained through a classified product, but is considered ‘per se’ classified” because it pertains to drones, the official added. The U.S. treats drone operations conducted by the CIA as classified, even though in a 2012 internet chat Presidential Barack Obama acknowledged U.S.-directed drone strikes in Pakistan."
Thanks for the comment. Interesting observation, you suggest that I am experiencing a form of lucid dreaming, but I only notice it when I experience a specific dream?

One thing that is constant throughout app these occurrences is the emotional path and my mouth lips and tongue that experience this feeling.
when I type in follow up question and them click in autocompleted question it uses it as main question instead of follow up
I guess it depends on the circumstances. Like if they were told they could go full remote, and the employee moved out of state and settled down somewhere where there is no office, now to be told j/k get back in here, seems like a case could be made.
At a strategic level, surely the website is bad in order to drive people to the mobile apps. Simple enough.

But I wonder how this result was actually accomplished - are there Reddit developers deliberately adding JS bloat so scrolling is choppy? Are there KPIs that pages must not load in under N seconds or videos must not play successfully more than N% of the time? It's bad enough that it can't be an accident. I'd love to interview one of the devs of the new UI.

Sorta. What we consider a small N has also gotten surprisingly large.
I bought an old server from ebay, and ripped the guts out to make a desktop computer. 128GB of ddr3 ram and 48 E5 v2 xeons for 300$.

But what if I'm an intuitionist [1] about mental states?

The company hired and promised whole orgs and teams remote work for the last two years, many in areas with no Amazon offices. Some were tied to offices 3+ hours away on paper, but during recruiting were promised never returned to office. Others have remote only as a condition of their employment.

When your recruiter, boss, director, VP are all remote and promising a remote only employment, what are you supposed to think?
For some things like delivered food, delivery is a luxury.

However, I fully expect that during the pandemic people discovered a lot of things that they could have picked up in the next couple of days in "only" 25 minutes or so can actually be ordered from Amazon at competitive prices. I ordered from Amazon a lot pre-pandemic but added various random stuff instead of going to, say, Home Depot.
> This is typically not that true when it comes to correctness. Most software does the correct thing in the eyes of the user, nearly 100% of the time. And when it doesn't, the bug gets fixed and that edge case is corrected for every other user going forward.

You're confusing pleasantness with correctness. Pleasantness is the property of pleasing the user, or more often the software's owner. Correctness is the property of conforming to a specification. Since most software written has no specification, correctness is undefined. Evidently this works adequately well in the marketplace.
Privacy done correctly - especially to a degree that can meaningfully defend against the techniques used for mass surveillance - is technically complicated. The general public feels helpless on the matter. That is why you hear people argue in favor of privacy without taking much action. Improved education will make them feel empowered to act. But we also have to improve the software.

Many people switched to Signal recently when they heard about it for the first time. The only ones I know who stopped using it did so because of UX flaws. Why is there no mainstream browser with an "Enable Tor" button? Probably because it's the browser makers that are virtue signaling, not the public. The browser makers all rely on tracking you to make their business model sustainable. Give the people a true, reasonable choice for privacy and they will likely take it.
I remember hiking up to the base of letters in the early 1990s. I think there is a substantial fence now.
This is correct. All of a sudden, we'll see "Amazon state-of-the-art Natural Understanding systems paving the way [blah blah blah]"... Umm... No. It's HuggingFace. And just like that, HuggingFace fades away; its well-earned recognition reassigned to Amazon, by Amazon. It's not a possibility; it's a certainty.

Shout out to Amazon though. People keep falling for the "partnership promise." The wax must be hella poetic.
Also, MIGRATIONS!

Interfaces are VERY GOOD for migrations.

If you decide that you want to stop using some compiler flag, or maybe use a different compiler, or change your python version, or...

You can right a regex to go over all your shell invocations, change them, then test, or you can do something like:

```
def build_thing(name, srcs, hdrs, migration=False):
if migration:
...

build_thing(
name = "my_lib",
srcs = ["my_lib.cc"],
hdrs = ["my_lib.h"],
)
```

You can then manually flip that to test stuff, write a script to flip it for every team, sending out a PR (because your targets can have oncalls) and they can land it, and then at the end you can flip the default and manually add a False to the holdouts.

All this stuff gives you the ability to do hard stuff at scale.
Yes. I'll tell students to really learn to program to fix AI bullshits.
Well, yes, because it's Google's website.

It would be quite different if Google's browser started modifying Microsoft's websites, as Microsoft is Google's.
Google has been doing this for years to Firefox and Edge users
Isn't the login with google just an OAuth thing? Most of the time, websites that use OAuth still want me to make an account with them. It's like, what is the point? Are people just implementing OAuth and then later deciding that they would like to be a provider for some reason? It seems tied to capital investment based on some conversations I have had with startup engineers...
Very interesting! It says the one right in front of my building is a Locust tree and is very rare in London:

> Rare species. This is one of TreeTalk's Bronze trees. There are no more than 200 of them in streets around London.
Doubtful. I have more energy and am generally happier when I am not overweight. I become overweight when I lose focus, start drinking more, start eating out more, etc
The thing is, this becomes theater of working. Imagine commuting to the office 60-90 minutes each direction just to sit in a stuffy room and zoom

Want to talk collaboration and productivity? Let's see if a company bans zoom for office days (but none will)

And im not even going to start on the complete waste of time of people in an open space talking non stop about their fantasy football draft. I haven't heard those words in 3 years, it was nice that way
So this project can be summarized in a single HTTP request that takes a prompt, puts some bing results in it, and shows it to the user?
Personally, I'm of the opinion that the human/animal mind is a computational process happening in the brain, and that a sufficiently complex computer could also "run" such a mind. In that sense, I believe they are entirely physical objects, just as much as the Linux kernel running on my phone is a physical object.

As such, I believe that qualia are just how we would label some aspects of this computation, and I believe that concepts like a p-zombie are thus more or less non-sensical.

I'm not claiming to know for sure that this is the way. I do think it's, at least in principle, possible that a mind is a different thing, one that our understanding of physics can't (yet?) fully model. Hell, even though I'm an atheist, I wouldn't even claim that the concept of a divine soul is completely impossible.
> why do these people work in Indian-managed companies?

Let me get this straight: You are wondering why people work for companies like Google, Microsoft, VmWare or Adobe?
Fair point. I treated the product as a build system and it just doesn't look right. However it makes perfect sense if it advertised itself as a "task runner".
You want guaranteed specific behavior from a software system (that's what SLAs and contracts are for) and easily reason about it so you can hire a college grad to tweak it. And that's not even talking about datasets, you can only train something accurate if you have enough good data on it? I can only see software 2.0 being a better autocorrect for internet scale usecases (in the short term atleast, until the next breakthrough)

This also reminds me of a quote from the Book I'm currently reading (Practical Wisdom by Barry Schwarz)

“Most of us think about empathy as a “feeling” or an “emotion.” It is. To be empathetic is to be able to feel what the other person is feeling. But empathy is more than just a feeling. In order to be able to feel what another person is feeling, you need to be able to see the world as that other person sees it. This ability to take the perspective of another demands perception and imagination. Empathy thus reflects the integration of thinking and feeling.”

"Mind reading" is another way to put it (https://yosefk.com/blog/people-can-read-their-managers-mind....) - this practical wisdom + mind reading is basically the salient human feature that NNs would never be able to replace so you would always have humans in the system.
Can't tell if you're serious haha
Oh the idiots I was talking to didn't want to actually pay me any money.

It's just equity in whatever far off pipedream they have.
ah yes that's a bug that will be fixed shortly.
And yet, this boring and older system is probably more accessible to disabled people.
It's the vision of the net at the time of the transition to web 2.0. The web as a giant database of the world's knowledge, but now curated not by experts on their own little websites but distributedly through the collective wisdom of humanity. Think wikipedia, imdb, tvtropes. SO's gamification is primarily geared towards cleanup, not participation. However, databasing questions never really made sense. It works remarkably well, but the subject is just too open ended. What we really needed was a collective effort to produce great, searchable, navigable documentation. Instead, we now have a collection of hyper-specific, often outdated snippets that do not educate, and the effortfully produced helpful introductions, overviews, and explanations you want to read are dying disorganized somewhere on diverse wordpress blogs.
I like the self-descriptive word explanation. Autological/heterological, my mom understood that construction in minutes and had her own eureeka moment as she worked through the inconsistent definition.
But the stated goal is consistent with actual behavior in case of SO.

Musks claims are not consistent with his behavior.
Thanks for the comment.

I agree, and my experience has been that I can turn it all off. I didn't put it here as a "help me god" but it's been on the back of my mind for years, and I was hoping someone here might have academic knowledgeable with this exact experience.
(Programming) SO is done, and should be dismantled. Its historical answers have been indexed into GPT, and the recent content circa 10 years ago and since has been this constant fight against moderators.

I’ve had the same experience as the author, but haven’t blocked it from my hosts file. I think that I will.
> I don't remember it was 8 years ago

also, being compelled to testify is a liability almost everywhere. See a traffic accident? Might need to testify. See a thief stealing food? Might need to testify.See a cop beat a Minority to deat? Might need to testify.That's just life in a civil society i suppose

Daniel DePretis, the author of the article, is from New York. His articles are published in Chicago, NY and Washington. His job is within an organization with the purpose

I cannot see what in the article may suggest the parent comment.
Based on everyone's feedback about YAML (we didn't expect this much), we'll probably reconsider this!
There’s no reason why Apple can’t be pulled into a stupid war.

Imagine going to the iPad product page on Edge and being met with “hey you should buy a surface tablet instead”.

Apple then retaliates with similar tactics.
we should all read between the lines, this big push is from those that invest in the office buildings and surrounding businesses chains, and are hurting from lower proximity of consumers.

Stop making your own meals, start consuming from their fast food chain down the block from the building theyre leasing to your company.

Stop for gas and buy from their other investments close by.

Need people to stop being so self sufficient at home, and suck the rich tit.

We are so desperate for the help :( /$
You said 99% of the churches do charitable work. I highly doubt that’s 99% of budget. I am sure most of it is used for operations. Just because I make donations every year, doesn’t make me a charity organization.
Is there a way to use this on desktop? I’m not sure I care enough about Reddit to worry too much.

Tbh I look forward to the day I can cut that time sink out. I just can’t peel myself away entirely.
I mean, according levels.fyi AMZ pays 400K+ total compensation. I don't think that would be too hard to fill up the office with the willing office.
That's a lot of fancy sounding words to say something that is obvious to any programmer. Big O algorithm analysis assumes that input size increases indefinitely. However, in real world problems the input size usually has a natural upper bound. As long as you can write a fast enough implementation (exact or approximate) for the largest conceivable input size, the problem is tractable. All algorithms designed for a bounded input size are technically O(1).

Even reducing it to SAT and invoking a SAT solver is too much. Most of these problems are solvable with simple enumerative recursion with optimizations like memoization, backtracking, and branch-and-bound.

For example, airline computer systems solve NP-Complete problems on a daily basis.
Google claims this because their entire business model relies on people believing it but is it actually true?
Maybe they thought it would be worse if someone found out and it was exposed that they didn't cite their source.
Four day work week sounds amazing. I doubt we'll see massive adoption anytime soon, but having that extra day every week really gives you time to enjoy life rather than just running around doing chores, preparing for the week to start again. Maybe someday!
How SQL analysts can use AI to augment their job
No the Amish person is not wrong to return home in such a situation -- in that scenario, it sounds like the Amish person doesn't like the realities of city life, and therefore chooses to remove themselves from the situation, as they dislike elements of the city, and are unwilling to work to address them at their root causes. As opposed to trying to get someone else removed.

My position is that people who do not want to do the work needed to actually combat homelessness -- not simply shift it around -- should move out of the city. They are a selfish drain of city resources, demanding with their greater personal resources that ever greater public resources be spent on their personal peace of mind. A peace of mind that comes at the expense of additional resources directed at actually addressing the issues, long-term.

City life and its advantages are guaranteed to nobody. You have to contribute to your community in order for it to improve. Same with rural life, just in another direction.

But to return to your initial point about a visiting Amish -- the Amish have an existing modern culture and plenty of exposure to media. The real test would be a member of an uncontacted tribe.

Should such a person suddenly find themselves downtown, which do you think they would find more "shocking and unpleasant" -- the group of people living communally and nomadically, or the individual folks in giant metal machines spewing cancerous fog into our shared atmosphere, so they can get to work on time?

I find it an interesting thought experiment.
In Finland, traffic fines scale based on your income.
Welllll, when you are a cloud for the world's governments and systemically important financial institutions, you have operating functions that keep you being able to retain those customers. AWS has had issues in the past with employee retention in those types of departments.

If there is a theory of RTTO as a form of soft layoffs, it still seems like we have a lot to learn about how that impacts the compliance and security capabilities of companies using such tactics.
Yeah, we kind of regret mentioning Bazel in the original post, but we can't change it now.
If you are contagious, you are best staying home and not going out. Pretty much period. As such, if you have reason to think that you could give someone covid, stay home. Hopefully we have reached a point where folks are ok doing this when they are sick later in life. (I certainly hope we encourage folks to stay home when sick from now on.)

With the major caveat that we don't afford that luxury to the vast majority of workers out there. Instead we seem to push a narrative that if the worker does the right precautions, they can return to work with no risk in getting others sick. Which, just doesn't seem to pan out.
I find those who bash SO to be either help vampires or generally using the site wrong (asking an opinion based question, asking newbie questions without searching or not knowing how to form the right search queries, ...)

Inevitably when their questions get moderated they'll feel personally slighted without dispassionate consideration of the situation (because why would they; they have a question and they want the answer NOW), thus to them SO is now "toxic".

Many just don't have the right mindset for SO, it's unfortunate.
I think you're not agressive enough. Why not hijack the whole page? How about you go to bing.com and find google search instead.
Significant changes in job location absolutely do count. Forcing people to work from home would probably be enough to count, actually - If the employee objected. Forcing an employee who had promises about WFH availability to come into an office is going to be a slam dunk, for essentially zero gain - The damages will generally be too small to be worth it, at least in the US with at-will employment. But as a matter of labor law, it should be classified as a layoff.
Ah fascinating, I honestly thought they were injecting HTML on Google's Chrome page, that's what it looked like, and I was wondering how in the world that was legal.

Your explanation makes a lot more sense, if it's part of the browser chrome, and only shows up when people visit the Chrome page, there's probably no legal boundaries crossed here or injection into other websites happening.

But man does that look like part of the website and injected in there.
> Cost to train is still astronomical.

It sounds like something that could/should/would be crowdfunded?
How would you distinguish between "poor quality" and "just hasn't been viewed by many"?
The Tribune went bankrupt and was bought by a prominent LDS member in 2016 - not sure you can discount their stories from 2021 based on the bias the originally owners clearly had in the 1800’s. It’s a nonprofit these days but Huntsman is still chairman of the board.
> I just meant that my particular argument right there was trivial, not the belief itself.

Yes, that's what I thought you meant, and I disagree.

> Not believing in x === believing in not x.

Ah, so indeed to you the two are the same. Again, I don't think that's trivial at all.

Let me mention Shigella roterei, a species of bacteria, to you. There, now you have heard of it. But does it exist? Do you believe in it? What if I state that it doesn't exist? Just because I now mentioned it to you, do you necessarily have to believe it doesn't exist. You can't just not believe in it anymore. Fine with me, but I don't think I work that way.
Exactly. This is such a weird half-assed defence of Google. It’s like saying you should be grateful cos they only shot you once not twice.
There's very understandable reasons this could be the case, like the "old.reddit" code base just being untouched as an important API changed.
totally absurd. the constitution is a legal framework, not religious precepts. those outside the US have no duties to the US government when not in its jurisdiction and vice versa. of course the federal govt has been pushing against this itself, eg assange. you do not want to live in a world with a universal state.
