Now one of the problems with research in general is that negative results don't get published. While in this case it probably resolved itself automatically, if they have any ethical standards then they'll write a paper about how i

It's already being discussed on HN [1] but for some reason it's down to the 3rd page despite having ~1200 upvotes at the moment and ~600 comments, including from Greg KH. (And the submission is only 5 hours old.) [1] https:/

The first thing I've looked at on your site is how migrations work. Because honestly, I think that's one of the best things about Django. They just got it right, and as you say, not many other tools get close. I wonder if you have

My understanding is that it has always been to be taken figuratively. Obviously, you won't explain this to (almost) any 5 year old. Mostly, because they will miss all the background. (Hey, what's a program at all, not to mention p

It's not. You can include images in markdown and markdown being markdown, the links are pretty easy to identify and then open. They don't have to, or better to say the shouldn't, be absolute http links. They can be just relat

A turning knob is not the best UI for channel selection. It is a traditional one, but even my grandmother's large box radio, that must have been manufactured something like 70 years ago (not a transistor one, mind you!) had push button

Well, he could have bought an actual wifi capable radio for around half the price of a Stream Deck. (Unless, of course, he already had the latter device.) It's an existing product.

The thing is that it isn't your language, even if you're native English. (I'm not, I'm Hungarian, which is a 100% weird language not too similar to any other.) Most programming languages, especially the ones used for int

Same here. E.g. I remember I had a problem with the proper understanding of AND and OR. But it wasn't because I didn't understand the words, it was because I didn't get the concept at first. I pissed myself off quite a bit wh

You're mostly repeating the claims of GP and I have already responded to these. Esp. this one: "Vaccines typically take several years of testing before being approved." The so called long-term effects have been mostly non-exi

It's not dishonest. It's a very adequate answer to the over-simplifying claim above. I.e. there is a difference between a newer and an older platform and there is a difference between an experimental platform and a new platform (t

Well, you may not be (or see yourself) an anti-vaxxer, and your right that it's not necessarily wise to label everyone as such who have concerns with these vaccines, but it also doesn't mean that your excuses make sense. The batch

It's a very interesting dilemma indeed. Obviously, if it's 7 out of 7 millions, then pausing it for the duration of the investigation does way more harm than good, given how many infections happen these days. On the other hand t

Oh, I wasn't aware that the GP comment suggested that it's something invented by FB. Anyway, how is it a scam and how is FB benefiting from the real names? Especially at the expense of the people? Another commenter above said that

by atleta 6y ago
I'm not sure that was the selling point but that doesn't make it a scam, right? Especially because if it did work as a selling point it means that people were also benefiting, so it couldn't really have been a scam.

Scam? That assumes deliberately misleading people for the scammer to benefit. Who exactly is benefiting from this? While I don't agree that it's obvious even now that that using real names is damaging (i.e. makes things worse than

It's almost what they intended. It was an internal API that they never thought would be exploited. (I.e. used by third parties.) Calling it scraping is a pretty fat lie. I've just checked. My phone number is in the data set. I&#

They are profiling like crazy. I'm pretty sure they have at least an estimated income attached to almost every single of us. Also, they do have credit card numbers for those who buy ads. But it may have just been a generic statement.

I know a guy who joined FB as a software dev manager a few years ago and left in less than a year. (Maybe after just six months.) He is definitely pretty critical and sometimes hints at how the internal culture is problematic and causing so

Scaling theoretically is easy. Practically is a bit harder. What would have been interesting info (besides the ARR) is their growth rate and growth history. That would give insight into whether they are on the path you mention or the case i

I don't think you work 48 weeks per year in Germany (or in general, most of the EU). You have to subtract national holidays and vacation. The latter should be 4 weeks minimum (i.e. for a young person). At least based on what we have he

FWIW, Celsius is just as convenient for human temperatures (whether we're talking about the temperature of the human body or temperatures that humans can experience). The difference in resolution (about 2x good for F) doesn't real

Assuming the logs have the same visibility as the db files themselves, I don't think it makes a difference. It can affect performance, though. So we use it in development but not in production.

There are no exceptions. You only need it if/when you want to put multiple statements on a single line. That's its sole purpose. And I'd also add that it's something that you almost never do. One practical use is writing

Depends on what you tinker with. Getting basic things to work on your hardware is frustrating. Nobody wants to deal with that really. The answer for that is getting a laptop (or desktop) that is well supported. I know it can feel limiting,

I constantly had problems with these and more back then. (E.g. making my TV grabbing card work was a nightmare.) I don't experience this since I've been using a ThinkPad.

I agree with the general observation, but the need for ";" ? Quite a few languages (over a few generations) have been doing fine without the semicolon. Just to mention two: python and haskell. (Yes, python has the semicolon but yo

The very point of yaml is that it is easy to edit by hand. If you use an, I suppose, GUI editor then you don't need yaml. You could use any strictly typed serialization format. (Self describing or with a schema.)
