You're really grasping for straws here to defend this. I'll explain:

> 2. Brendan Eich never said that it was supposed to be turned on by default, hence a bug.

What are you even arguing against here? Turned on by default? Who was it supposed to be on for according to you?

> 3. Brave stopped the affiliate link partnership.

After the backlash they realized how stupid it was, apologized and removed the feature (not bug) yes. The articles from the time are still around, quotes and everything.

> 4. Brave is the only mainstream browser at the moment that does not advertise in the address bar. Even Firefox runs ads there BY DEFAULT!

Whataboutism, stay on topic.

> I don't see what one gets from being so biased against a browser company that fixed a bug even before it became a news?

It's not a bias, they crossed every line possible. My browser is not supposed to fuck with my requests, ever. No excuses. They considered it a good choice at the time and I will keep reminding people every time brave comes up. But you shouldn't worry, that means you'll still have a job hunting down such comments to damage control.

>We take away your freedom and put you in jail.

The ACLU has defended literal neo-Nazis and white supremacists right to rally and share their ideas on several occasions. Sounds like you would disagree with them, and that people should be imprisoned for having disgusting and hateful ideas. Fortunately, you're wrong.

Don't conflate words with actions like hurting someone. There are very narrow restrictions on speech, mostly around calls or threats of imminent violence. But those are extremely rare cases, and they're not what you are broadly describing.

There is really nothing to validate this statement. Roblox is a $20B company. Facebook is 60x bigger. Shareholders did not believe that the metaverse was a large enough opportunity for Facebook to go "all in" on.

Aaah, this brings memories of late night debugging sessions of code written by briliant physicists without computer science background ;)
Thanks.

The thing is, the computer industry is now old enough it has a lot of folklore and legend: stuff that "everyone knows" and repeats.

But many of the people involved are still alive and you can just ask them.

And there are some really nasty people in this industry -- such as Bill Gates, or Larry Ellison -- who tell lies about others and to others, and then some of those lies catch on and everyone repeats them.

These lies that people share destroy lives. Don't repeat stuff you heard. Just Google it. It's easy to find the truth.

You’re a strong writer. However, I’m glad that AI has removed the need to hire writers who are not so good. Editing their uninspired work and paying them upwards a dollar a word is upsetting.

So, thank you AI for not needing to hire them anymore. For example, if I need ghostwriting, I’ll interview the person, plug the transcript into ChatGPT, do some editing, and provide the person with a draft an hour later. I did this recently and the person was impressed with how good the draft was.

I think this is an example of AI weeding out people who are not inspired by their work. Find what inspires you and something you can love and the rest will take care of itself. AI can ghostwrite and take on “content writing” well but can’t write a post like you wrote here. Nor would you or anyone want it to.
I saw that, but I do like to make my own container. So I did roughly the same steps as they do. But it feels complicated.

Ok, I looked it up. His exact words were "we have to hold him accountable". That's a declaration of intent to target Trump.

And he listed his long experience of opposing Trump administration policies. "I also sued the Trump administration more than 100 times... So I know that work". Notice he said "Trump administration" - that was political opposition, he was suing to oppose Trump's policies. Even in his previous position, he was a political opponent of Trump, and used his office to pursue political goals. That's clearly bias.

> Can you explain why "inventing a novel legal theory" is wrong or indicative of bias?

Because legal changes should not be retroactive. If something is currently illegal, it doesn't require a "novel legal theory" to prosecute. Novel legal theory is just a way of saying "let's change the way the law is interpreted or enforced". And that's fine, as long as it's only enforced after the change is made public.
That seems to deny even the existence of truth and falsehood. There's only opinion, "ideas they didn't like", and no chance that those ideas might actually be wrong.

There's also kind of an odd contradiction. This is an idea you don't like, and suggesting it should be stopped.
So I’m about to go lease a bz4x today, and I find the EV community’s hatred of the car irrational. It’s a very well put together car that’s behind the curve on range and charging, which isn’t surprising from a company that’s focused on hybrids over pure EVs. No need for a conspiracy theory. Like—why couldn’t Toyota get 300 miles of range and proper fast charging to work? Well, why can’t Tesla put together a suspension that isn’t brutal and an interior that doesn’t fall apart? The companies obviously have different strengths.

In our case we’re looking for a secondary commuter car, so range and charging don’t matter. We were about to pull the trigger on a Model Y, but I worry about my wife’s safety in a car where software updates change key features such as how the cruise control functions with little notice.

Was working at a quant pod at Millennium for a bit where they used it. I was ultimately able to use it but everything took me 20x longer than using Numpy/Pandas. The irony was that the Python code was shorter because there were so many more library functions and better abstractions and syntax. So it was slow and unintuitive for zero benefit whatsoever.
Opinions don't need to be supported by facts or based on facts.

They do need to be compatible with factual reality, otherwise they're called delusions.
Your body starts producing ketons when you stop eating. Typically it starts 12 to 24 hrs.

It'll start faster if you don't eat carbs / sugar and instead use protein because the body start producing ketons when it runs out of glycogen stores. Sugar and carbs add glucose to your blood. The less of it you have, the faster the body will start producing ketons.

Exercise also helps because it uses glucose faster. Of course assuming you'll not just start eating carbs / sugar after exercise. That includes all drinks that include sugar.

But really you'll get most benefit of exercise just from a walk after meal.

Why after meal? Because that's when glucose spikes and a walk uses glucose faster.
Which emails are you referring to? The ones with Fauci in early 2020? If so, they ruled that out as an option within a few months.

He might be a smart person, with a very high IQ and on a different level than the rest of us, but by writing with this style, with no comments, with no proper capitalization/style and with this attitude, he’s putting me off (IMHO).

Someone told us this and actually provided context - even that's only mildly better than noise. To boot, they shared several hours before you did.

Pretty sure your simulation is broken or you're just asleep at the wheel.

Posts like that, and to be fair ones you usually manage, barely qualify for more than noise. This one is notable. It's late and has no context to add at all. It is noise.

Get it together/stop. Or don't. It's your simulation. Despite all of these words, I don't really care about the posts.

I'm only here because of how consistently I see this. I'm here to tell you it's a wash. The effort or resources can be spared.

I'm probably one of the few that would notice if you chose to lurk instead.

If it's your hobby, I'm not one to judge. I'm just saying you don't appear to be very good at it or motivated to improve.

That's not a total judgement. The value is debatable; it's rigged.

I tend to agree with you - using in "default" setup with mod_php and mpm_prefork is known to be far from optimal (still fine for blog about you and your cat).

With reverse proxy in front of such setup is - much better in terms of performance. For shared hosting - yet again, may be not optimal if one needs to support multiple system users.

You're at a more surface level than what I'm talking about. Your advice at the end is just common sense advice for anyone using any tool. It doesn't mean you should spend time implementing your own custom backup process with ability to go back to a specific point in time, configurable in 1 minute. The amount of work needed to operationalize postgres in the same way and expose it to other teams in a company will take long enough that you won't get an Aurora-like experience in less than a quarter with a full team. What could they be doing instead to your product?

All I'm saying is it has nothing to do with difficulty. In my job for example we self-hosted HBase which is a beast compared to postgres, implemented custom backups etc, all because there was no good vendor for it. Postgres is much simpler and we always just used RDS and then switched to Aurora for the higher disk limits when it was launched. If there's a good enough vendor, you're just stroking your ego re-implementing these things when you could move on to the actual thing the business wants to release.

I've also seen senior engineering leads "proving" self hosting "saves money" but then 2 companies working on the same type of problem in the same industry with a similar feature set, on one side we had 5 people maintaining what on the other company it took 6 teams of 4-8 people. So it depends if you'd like to have a lot of your labor focused on cutting costs or increasing revenue. And they never include the cost of communicating with extra 5 teams and the increased complexity and slowness to release things this creates, while also being harder to keep databases with current versions, more flimsy backup processes, etc.

Ps: we got rid of hbase, do yourself a favor and stay away
Yes, when I took a look at shakti's database benchmarks before, they seemed entirely reasonable with typical array language implementation methods. I even compared shakti's sum-by benchmarks to BQN group followed by sum-each, which I'd expect to be much slower than a dedicated implementation, and it was around the same order of magnitude (like 3x slower or something) when accounting for multiple cores. I was surprised that something like Polars would do it so slowly, but that's what the h2o benchmark said... I guess they just don't have a dedicated sum-by implementation for each type. I think shakti may have less of an advantage with more complicated queries, and doing the easy stuff blazing fast is nice but they're probably only a small fraction of the typical database workload anyway.
I did that, but sometimes it takes a short moment before Unit is started, so you need a loop to check if Unit is responding before you can send the config. In total it was around 20 lines just to load the config. It feels like doing something wrong. Or using the wrong tool.

Quick for building a website? Probably not.

Quick for evaluating some idea you just had if you are a quant? Yes absolutely!

So imagine you have a massive dataset, and an idea.

For testing out your idea you want that data to be in an “online analytical processing” (OLAP) kind of database. These typically store the data by column not row and other tricks to speed up crunching through reads, trading off write performance etc.

There are several big tech choices you could make. Mainstream king is SQL.

Something that was trendy a few years ago in the nosql revolution was to write some scala at the repl.

It is these that K is competing with, and being faster than.

I have always struggled with many website's search bars as I have to type exact keyword and there is no room for error or mistake. that's because most websites matches user's query directly into the database which results in poor result as it may have spelling mistakes, natural language, foreign language.

Tech giants like amazon have already solved this problem that's why their search supports Natural Language Processing and auto correction.

But now you can make your search as good as amazon if not better as amazon still does not support multi-language support. My API uses AI to analyse user's query and have advanced NLP, multi-language support and auto-correction, it transforms user queries into accurate results, increasing customer satisfaction and sales.

Try it for free with 5000 API.

There are always external drives with macbooks. I guess neither system is perfect.
It's certainly possible to over-edit pieces and lose the original writer's voice because the tone or whatever is different from the editor's preference even though it's not wrong.

That said, for any company blog that has an editor, I expect there to be some style guidelines that posts/articles at least roughly stick to and, if the editor doesn't feel they're enough of a subject matter expert in the topic to provide at least a cursory review, they'll probably send it to someone who is if the writer hasn't already done so.

If it's purely a personal blog, that's something else but my observation is that, at least larger, companies have generally moved away from hosting individual blogs on company properties. The degree to which they're OK with people posting on their own sites I'm sure varies by company.
They at least used to have free evaluation licenses that were good for a month. Our license was even unlocked for unlimited cores.

I doubt they'd give them out to a random individual or small startup, but maybe still possible for a serious potential customer.
I worked with a guy who could handle loops nested half a dozen deep with data dependencies woven through the structure with exactly the same apparent cognitive overhead as for i = 0, N. The sort of structure you get when you arrange a difficult calculation to match the cache hierarchy of the target machine. Didn't do comments or variable names with much enthusiasm.

He was superb at finding errors at code review. As in looking through code someone else had written and pulling out the mistakes. Presumably everything looked completely trivial to him, regardless of how tangled the control flow had got.

Wallstreet Journal is not a reputable source for ai news
To be precise, what "we" (Heinrich Schliemann) found were the ruins of multiple cities, in multiple archeological layers, in a region that is rife with such things. We... well, he, then proceeded to declare one of those cities "Troy" and even took pictures of his wife with some jewels he found which he proclaimed to be "the jewels of Helen of Troy" [1].

That should suffice to underline the uncertainty, from a purely scientific point of view, of what, exactly, was found by Schliemann. My opinion is that this man has caused no end of damage to any attempt to find the historical truth, if any, of the Homeric epic. I've had a few fights with fellow Greeks who were convinced that Schliemann really-really found Troy, the actual city from the Iliad, which was a true story then. A friend once told me that not only Troy was found, but that it was "seven cities", as Troy is described in the Iliad; most likely a reference to the multiple layers of ruins at the place excavated by Schliemann. Some of whom were indeed destroyed by fire, suggesting war, if memory swerves, but not all and in any case there have been so many wars in the thousand years since the first city was built there that we might as well assume it was aliens who first destroyed it.

... which some people inevitably will.

___________

[1] Some of the history of those excavations is on wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy#Excavation_history

The rest I know by dint of being born Greek and having read my fair share of ancient history (extracurricularly, obviously) as a child. I might misremember some things.
My opinion on that dilemma: some problems are so widespread that it makes more sense to deal with them collectively, aiming to cut them down at the root. We usually appoint people to deal with with them because it's more effective than everyone having to act in concert. Those people are called "politicians".

Do those people do a good job? Kinda - they tend to get everything uniformly wrong and sometimes they really screw something up, but in general they land more often than not in reasonable compromises. And while your Senator may be a corrupt idiot, the people in their staff may be okay and steer them generally in a sane direction.
For all those wondering, this is not about aliens.
Because they set an unrealistic bar by excluding all research which wasn't double blind, in the knowledge that there's barely any research you can perform on trans youth with that criteria that an ethics board will allow and there's barely any research anyone would attempt — because your blind is immediately nullified by the obvious continuing signs of puberty, or the obvious continuing signs of body produced hormones.

By doing this they have excluded the vast majority of the extant research, leaving what's essentially the most biased remaining sample.

Now add in the government of the UK's current attack angle on trans people, and Cass herself exclusively operating with anti-trans groups on social media.
