Is there any way to delete recommendations?
E.g. delete your account?

If so, you may end up with people deleting their account if they have bad predictions (the usual survival bias of mutual fund investments).

A solution would be to never delete postings, just maybe changing the username into [deleted123] or so.
I'm anxiously waiting for it to come to DigitalOcean. But the momentum they built now seems to be really strong.
Very cool. Just a few days ago I saw Fira's designer Erik Spiekermann give talk on 'Type Is Visible Language'
I'm a huge fan of Anonymous Pro... If you want to compare with something else.

Mono space is a type writer anachronism. Lisp was designed in hype 60s and not many people write code in it; Haskell could benefit from better mathematical typesetting.

I've heard that going proportional would be bad, but I made the switch and have noticed yet any badly formatted third party code (I mostly use C#).
Start anywhere. Steve Klabniak has a commit bit on Rails primarily because he showed up one day, said "The docs are a mess", and started writing better docs. As he wrote more he got better knowledge of the Rails internals. He then went through the issue tracker just for gardening, marking issues as duplicates, trying to repro them, etc, and suddenly he was the guy who both knew all the exposed features and all of the bugs. Then he put 2 and 2 together and said "Aha, I think I can probably independently fix this one. Here's a pull request with the patch and tests." And repeated that until they said "OK, OK, enough already, have a commit bit."

Can I make a suggestion though? What are your goals in life over the next few years? Does getting a commit bit on Rails represent the single best thing you could be doing to advance those goals? There are many, many OSS projects in the ecosystem which have lower barriers to entry and higher returns if you do them right. Some of them don't exist yet, but you could solo-deliver them in a number of weeks. There are many plausible goals you could have where solo-delivered gem X is vastly more valuable to you than "Got 3 patches accepted into Rails core."

The laws in Japan that require sounds for the phone are as stupid as punishing legit software purchasers with anti-copying measures. They only hurt the legit people and don't at all hinder the undesirable behavior
I recently left a position which provided an office in town for the several of us here, but in practice allowed up to 100% remote work, since the rest of the company was 900 miles away.

There were just as many opportunities for personality conflicts with that arrangement. I joined a company with a better-aligned corporate culture and an expectation to be in the office every day because I decided they are healthier. I mention that, because it was the people, not the policy, that made the first gig ultimately unsustainable.
I still don't see how anyone can say with a straight face that the new entrant in a market is "fuck[ing] over" the dominant player.

Because Apple leveraged an existing market where they were the dominant player (iOS). You could've said the same thing about Internet Explorer being a new entrant to the browser market, back when they fucked over Netscape.

Are you using a serif font? Because sans-serif is very bad when it comes to representing source code:

For example Pidgin's choice of a sans-serif font always caused me troubles, had to either switch the font, or the system-wide sans-serif font to something where I can tell the difference.
Are you arguing that it's impossible for any law to increase utility for a small group of people while decreasing utility for a much larger group of people? Or are you arguing that one group's utility is more important than other group's?

Imprecise language can be used, but not when two terms mean completely different things.

"Just MD5 it" advice was not given by knowledgeable security experts. The practice of using a slow cryptographic function to derive password hashes goes back at least to the 1978 paper "Password Security: A Case History" by Robert Morris and Ken Thompson. (I have collected some implementations of historic password hashes (many of which are weak) here: https://github.com/dchest/historic-password-hashes)
Fira Mono takes an awful lot of vertical space. To me it looks like inconsolata but less legible due to extra serif.
Have you tried AdBlock edge? Its much faster. I have no idea if this is because it is using less memory though.
Leica has digital cameras these days, you know :)
I'm not against that at all, but it doesn't really work when you're on a shared codebase with people who use spaces to align things based on the assumption of fixed-width fonts. Things like:

hash[:foo] = 5
hash[:sdfkd] = "x"
hash[:x] = "y"

Of course, I'm against doing this anyway, because it causes issues when you want to add an even longer key to the hash.
The comments on that review at typographica point out that Fira's quality for non-Latin scripts is less than perfect. Butterick generally ignores this part of the Unicode spectrum, to the point where his own fonts completely miss non-Latin scripts.
If we are going to be pedantic, then „Führer” means someone who leads, whereas „Leiter” is more close to the English term ‘leader’. ‘Leader’ and „Leiter” share the same etymology, „Führer” does not. The same difference is present in Danish as well: »leder« vs »fører«.

Essentially, „ein Führer” is more than just a leader.

"Well a homomorphism applies to a group"

Not so. The notion's far more general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_homomorphism

This gives us a notion of homomorphisms between fields.

Annoying thing about have a filesystem and a separate block layer cache (bcache or dm-cache) is they're duplicating a lot of the same work - filesystem maps from inode:offset to physical offset, cache does the same thing. Both doing their own allocation/reclamation/etc.

I've been turning bcache into a full blown filesystem in my spare time. It's working now - it's fast, and the code is _small_ compared to other filesystems.

Not production ready yet and it'll be awhile before I freeze the on disk format, though.
One idea: introduce some cost for entry. Some popular sites have switched to invite-only write privileges, including comments (yes, there is precedent with trendy tech sites). Similar but less elitist: you have to do something to post or comment, like show your profile on other sites. Not perfect, but from my experience a lot of potential troublemakers chill out when faced even with simple hurdles.
iOS is not a market in of itself. It certainly wasn't the dominant way to read eBooks (the Kindle was, to the best of my knowledge). You're trying to narrowly define a market purely for the purposes of claiming Apple was the dominant player, but you aren't explaining how Apple could leverage iOS in any fashion.

And even if you do purely concern yourself with reading eBooks on smartphones and tablets (and ignore the fact that iBooks doesn't even exist on Android devices, and consider the Kindle to not count because it's not a general-purpose tablet), the Kindle iOS app still was the dominant player there. Apple could not leverage their ownership of iOS to give an unfair advantage to iBooks. The only advantage it had was that visiting the App Store for the first time would suggest you download iBooks, but the Kindle app had plenty of promotion within the App Store as well.

I also find your attempt to claim this is analogous to Internet Explorer to be preposterous for multiple reasons. Not only did Microsoft literally bundle it with Windows, it was a free competitor to the then-paid Netscape Navigator, and there wasn't an established market for web browsers at that point anyway. Microsoft also enjoyed an overwhelming monopoly in the desktop OS market with Windows, whereas Apple has never had a monopoly in the smartphone market with iOS.
This makes me wish there was a SCM of sorts for fonts so that collaborating on them would be easier.
> The thing that makes this most ridiculous is (a) they don't have the same requirement of digital cameras in Japan and (b) 3rd party camera apps you download for phones are not required to make a sound. Pretty much every Japanese person downloads another camera app for exactly that reason.

iPhone's bought in a lot of countries in the Middle East are equally ridiculous as they disable FaceTime (i.e. there is no FaceTime app). Even if you leave the Middle East, e.g. go to the UK and put a UK SIM in, FaceTime is still disabled. Same if you reformat even after doing that, so it's locked at the hardware level. Taking another iPhone to the Middle East works fine (although in most places it still won't actually work as the countries have internet level filtering in place).

The funny thing is you can still download Skype from the App Store and use that without restrictions :)
I use Adobe Source Sans Pro on my company's website, and Google Open Sans is very popular too.
'Tonnes of people' might be an overstatement. Other than the immediate relatives of Adolf Hitler (father, mother, siblings, half-siblings and their children), no other people with the surname Hitler are known.

And there is a good reason for that. The surname „Hitler” is an alternative spelling of „Hiedler”. Hitler's father, Alois Schicklgruber, decided to change his name to his stepfather's family name, „Hielder”. Likely because Alois was born out of wedlock and wanted to rid himself of his old surname once he became established. It is unknown why he changed the spelling to „Hitler”.

Adolf Hitler did comment once that he thanked his father for changing the surname, as „heil Schicklgruber” would have sounded awkward.
OK, a few things.

1. Patents are very VERY specific. Someone can have a patent for Thing A and you can make Thing B that is quite similar to Thing A, with just a few minor adjustments, and it is not an infringement. This is why there are tons of patents out there that describe pretty much the same thing, with very minute differences.

The takeaway is: just because Makerbot / Stratasys is getting a patent on autoleveling does not mean no one else can do autoleveling. It just means they cannot do it the exact same way.

2. A patent troll is an entity that has a patent portfolio, but has no actual products related to anything in that portfolio. They make their money by suing people (or bullying little guys into settling out of court).

Makerbot / Stratasys makes 3D printers. It is not trolling for them to file patents related to 3D printing technology. You might think the patent system is broken or feel that patent filing is not in the spirit of open source hardware (valid points which I personally share), but it is not trolling.

So, let's not undermine the legitimacy of those criticisms by conflating one particular (arguably douchey) business strategy with patent trolling (another, unarguably douchey strategy).

Thanks a lot. It is annoying that we can't see Piketty's answer without this popup.

I seriously hate the way this has been reported. No one seems to care about the facts or numbers. All news seem to be "The commie was wrong!" without even trying to explain what the criticism is about.

When I see the FT)reconstructed charts, I have a hard time accepting the notion that his errors were significant. He himself explains that he tries to track a quantity that is hidden from public view by using several indirect indicators. It is doomed to be approximate, but I don't see anything like a contradiction in this article. Just a mere correction.

"Google will pay $8.5 million to fund organizations and particular initiatives focused on Internet privacy, as well as to cover lawyers’ fees and costs and other expenses related to the Settlement. Google will also revise its "FAQs," "Key Terms" and About Google Web History" webpages to include conspicuous, clear and concise explanations of how and when search queries may be disclosed to third parties via referrer headers."

Just to be clear, Google is being sued for operating a standards compliant web server?

But one interesting thing about that wording, about how Google must disclose how and when search queries may be disclosed to third parties... via referrer headers." Emphasis added. Why make it referrer header specific? The legal claim can't rely on an implementation detail like the header property name, right?

I want to know how my search terms are being disclosed. I think, if you're going to use it commercially, you have to, at least, disclose* how you're using it. Particularly if they are in any way tied to my identity.

This is, I think, the primary value-add of DDG. At least, it is a differentiator for them I'm sure. Collect less data, leave a smaller footprint. In many ways, since they are the default search engine in Tor, they are the search engine you would use if you value privacy.

The scary thing now is how every packet is being inspected as it travels the network. So your footprint is not limited even by what services you access. Network wide timing analysis leaves Tor vulnerable. There's no a better option if you need low latency privacy. Are there places where you can actually dial up the latency slightly to increase the privacy? I haven't found them.

How to use filters to enhance your website’s impact 
We can blame apps like Hipstamatic and Instagram for the prevalence of filtered photos. Anyone with a smartphone can take a photo, slap a few filters on it, and publish it to the web in seconds.They can also be incredibly useful for making a bunch of photos from different sources look unified and like they belong together. That can be invaluable when crafting a design, whether it be for print or web.Here we’ll take a look at how sites are using filtered photos to elevate their designs, and then share some more professional tools for creating your own filtered pics, sans-smartphone.
As the other poster said, time has it's own standard. In terms of your reply to OP, it's even simpler. The network identifier for an operator broadcast by the cell tower consists of a network code and a country code :)

What are you feeling doesn't have all that much to do with what you do and what perceived atrocities you are paid to commit.

I have same feelings and I notice that they stem more from being responsible (often self assumed internal responsibility) for the state of the system no one else cares about the state of.

You are just lonely with what you do. People love you for the effect of your work, but you see that they don't care about what you do. And it makes your work meaningless (or even detrimental) from your point of view.

You imagine you could take solace from the fact that you system would be architected beautifully without all this crap people who pay you make you put in there. But that's not true. Artists are generally unhappy. They get happy though appreciation, but not appreciation of common-folk that just don't get art. Only by appreciation of fellow artists.

Programming is a puzzle. It doesn't matter what puzzle you solve. Solving a puzzle of not increasing fragility of your system by adding crappy feature is also a (hard) puzzle that can be solved better or worse. Sometimes solving puzzle brings pleasure if your solution is especially good and programmers think that's the right and only way to get pleasure out of what they do. But that's rare. For each time solution itself brought you pleasure you should have at least 10 times where your solution brought you pleasure just because someone seen it, understood it and respected it.

tl;dr Make company hire more competent people that can share your burden.

What issues? Needing to realign the values? If so, does your text editor not include alignment commands like these:

Define your limits
If you are using a decent text editor it's easy to keep things aligned. Emacs for example m-x align-regexp = will do the trick. I would assume vim, etc have similar options.

I do mention that instances of the Monad typeclass have to follow certain laws to make sure that they are "meaningful and useful"...I handwaved the actual laws away in the ambiguous interpretations of 'meaningful and useful' :) I made the choice that going into what that really meant would be beyond the scope of the article...but thanks for the comment :)
Do you create a new spreadsheet using a spreadsheet app every time your notes include tabular data? I ask because a proportional font would be incompatible with the table/spreadsheet syntax of every lightweight markup language I've used. I would hate to have to create a new spreadsheet using Excel every time I have new tabular data for my Org-mode-powered personal wiki rather than simply use Org mode's spreadsheet syntax.
I would go so far as to say that if it works, it isn't a temporary escape. If you honestly think whatever you're praying to will take care of your problems, and this causes you to relax to the point where your brain learns not to react to the anxiety.. that's the ultimate goal, isn't it?

This of course says nothing about the objective truth of the beliefs, but that doesn't affect the brain; the connections being created or broken (or whatever scientifically happens) are what matter, not why it's occurring.
