Seems like this is a pretty clear ethics violation on the part of the authors.

My interpretation of what the parent meant is that the cognitive processes which support language acquisition (which may be mostly domain-general) are already optimized for this task, for which there is a sensitive period during certain yea

I love this comment[1] that rants about how Steve totally doesn't understand philosophy, and then recommends a book that most philosophers consider biased/mediocre (in comparison to his other work). [1] http://steve-yeg

No, because it's not like I'm quiet about it to them so they have the opportunity to fix it, and also I'm not lying to them either. I give good ratings and tips otherwise. The tip-stealing thing is bad, but it seems like they

I consistently get late orders, missing items, or the app is just completely down after I order and I can't access anything. Literally the only reason I keep using it is because of the lax refund/credits policy which results in me

The mistake is web applications that rely on session cookies alone to authenticate requests. Of course it's not their fault that it's so difficult to secure web apps, but by now this is common knowledge (CSRF/Confused Deputy

I use click[1] for things that don't need the complexity/features of argparse, personally, which ends up saving a lot of time. [1] https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/7.x/

You're not the only one. That's what first came to my mind when I saw this.

Once I'm ready I'm planning on throwing it up on github for sure. I'll make a note to send you an email with it :)

I don't have any questions, but I just started reading it a few days ago, and I'm re-implementing it in Nim (which is an interesting experience). One issue I ran into right away was that my code from step 1 was segfaulting, and th

I like how they're able to accurately tag translators vs original authors, e.g. https://github.com/GITenberg/The-History-of-the-Peloponnesia...

I agree with your premise. I think we should divest from scammy cryptocurrency companies. I also think we should divest from scammy banks, and companies that supply weapons to be used for killing people overseas as well (specifically referr

yes, good point, it's been around since the 90s when all of the work done on it was funded by purely academic institutions. I'm 29 years old, and I started using Haskell in about 2009, and I think that's around the time when

But banks (particularly Standard Chartered as an example) seem to have also funded a lot of the really early work on Haskell if I'm not mistaken. At least indirectly by hiring people who also work on the core tooling/libraries&#x2

I disagree with the idea that traditional legal financial services commit less fraud than cryptocurrency scams do. They just get away with it easier. > Normally these frauds are recognized for what they are quite quickly and the courts a

There are also a lot of traditional finance companies using Haskell[1]. And, historically some of the people who created the language itself and have worked on GHC (and other compilers), or contributed heavily to the ecosystem have worked f

Yeah, I just use google pay with them, which shows nothing, so there's nothing for would-be identity thieves to steal except my name and address hopefully.

Does instacart actually store credit card numbers, or just tokens? Why would they need to store the last 4 digits?

Yes, I forgot to mention that. You need to know the IDs of all the leaf nodes of the thread or else you can only partially reconstruct it.

You have to use the search feature to look for tweets and then look at the parent tweet ID. This is what bots like threadreaderapp, etc do. You can construct it from the bottom up if you know the ID of the last tweet in the thread of resp

A lot of the things you mention are pretty self-contained (you have to enable specific compiler flags), or they're implemented using the macro system or templates, and so in theory at least it's not bloating the compiler. Compared

I don't think "main" is a good replacement because it loses the notion of it being a branch where the finalized and production ready code goes. It could just as easily mean "where we do all the work" (i.e. trunk bas

I've tried many different distros (Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, OpenSUSE, etc) and I actually find it much harder to get things done with Ubuntu or Debian than I do Arch or other lightweight distros like Alpine. The reason is that I often hav
