The paper proposes to use automated tools to help people avoid logic errors. :) I doubt anyone is completely free from logic errors. I am certainly not. But while seeing logic errors other make, we are often blind to our own errors logic -

Another cooperation approach - something like voting for each decision. E.g. majoriry must open a cell for it to really open.

What you describe can be called healthy critical thinking. The case I mentioned was different, I just described it poorly due to my limited English profficiency and typing on mobile, so you and others suspect the opponent meant reasonable d

Distrust would be right. The fallacy was that people consider presence of statistical evidence as a negative sign. Not realizing its possible to lie without statistics as well. Lets imagine a book "100 ways to harm your health with med

He was not calling for better statistics, he suggested to ignore statistics. It was a simple case and actually I was not presenting a statistics I collected, I just suggested to try using some numerical evidence to chose a decision. On anot

Your argumets and links are interesting, I hope to study these materials some day. But. To be useful in practice the approach does not need to work in all cases of natural language usage. Even if works in some limited cases there may be use

Strange, why is the parent comment flagged now. Mildly critical of me, he just engaged in dialogue and asked for facts.

Sorry if my comment is pretentious. I can't go further into details about Ukraine, not today at least. One piece of information in my comment is that I suspect arguments and facts are likely to be ignored if people a-priory convinced w

To me the HN comments are even more interesting than the event itself. Politics is rarely at HN so it was a rare chance to see the opinions about this topic. Most commenters have highly inadequate view of the Ukrainian situation. I wonder w

Law enforcement has ways to work across borders (international agreements, etc). Such mechanisms should and will improve with time. If a countly doesn't provide legal support against scammers, then the requesting country can reciprocat

Some time ago i was asked to help installing a mode for Plants vs. Zombies - a PVZ Fusion mode. When searching for it I found multiple, some had download from github repos. None was looking trustworthy enough, so I didnt download any. But I

Just deleting them is not so useful. It would be better to uncover the people behind them and who use the collected data. Some honeypot scheme or social engeneering against them. Ideas?

Innovation may be needed for recycling of the old concrete from demolished buildings. Including extraction of sand from it. If anyone invents a cheap process, it may have revolutionary consequences, probably.

Why do you want them explicit in the code? The tooling producing such annotaion based on historical visits whould constantly change the annotated set of functions, I suspect, whith app versions evolving. Note, the inactive code parts are ve

by avodonosov 2y ago
I agree with most of your comment, but don't get what you mean about explicit annotations. Note that most of the unused code is located in libraries, not in the app code directly.

By instrumenting the code so that the function records the fact that it is being invoked. Then the info about the called functions is sent back to the server. (Only the functions never seen to be called are instrumented, the known active fu

Why big deal? 50% is just a big O of the original size :) If we consider overall Internet traffic, which is dominated by video and images, the size of javascript transmitted is negligible. Savings of memory and cpu for end user's brows

Only the first user who hits a rarely used execution point may experience the noticeable latency, if he also has slow internet, etc. As soon as the user executes a rarely used function, the information is about this fact is sent to the serv

In this approach the size of deployment bundles / images is not necessarily reduced. Reduced is the size of javascript loaded into the end user's browser.

That's not tree-shaking.

My experiment on how to reduce javascript size of every web app by 30-50% : https://github.com/avodonosov/pocl Working approach, but in the end I abandoned the project - I doubt people care about such js size savings.

No, such random articles pop up often, and not necessary about Roman stuff.

I haven't finished it as it's long. Seems OK. But is it much better than the wikipedia one? Interesting photos of artefacts. But no maps at all. Two or three maps would make it much more informative.

So many interesting events in history. But why a random one of them is at the HN top page?
