Exactly, it's called AWAIT damn it. It's also behaves like synchronous I/O, which is the whole point of the notation. Which isn't to say all is rosy in async/await world. Debugging them (in JS in particular) is pa

For that low low price they'll also reject your app for random reasons and make it impossible to find in their store.

Not sure why this is getting downvoted. Even if DDG is built mostly on top of Bing, the discrepancy would be interesting to explain.

I honestly haven't looked into it. I have heard some people say the idea that it's vastly more polluting than farming (farming what exactly?) is not entirely accurate. So there is at least some amount of controversy. I know that i

I see things the other way - if it's all in the open, there is no possibility that it can cause issues down the line. The absence of this allow employers to employ people below their true value, which is not only unfair working conditi

I agree with this point wholeheartedly, though I wish it could be made without making "rich white dudes" as some kind of slur.

The health "risks" of red meat have been really overblown, see this meta-review (there are also two others by the same others, looking at slightly different questions): https://www.gwern.net/docs/longevity&#x2

Nitpick, but this man doesn't really seem to understand what "Marxism" means.

How does this do on the "integration" part of GUI? Like is it easy to spin a "native" file picker on Windows/macOS? (Sure there are native APIs for that, but bridging the gap is one of the point of a cross-platform

Perhaps one should look at the work being done instead of "relying on metrics"? Just a suggestion...

But you see the issue with that thought process right? You can imbue political meaning on anything that way, and ban arbitrary things. What if there is a (perhaps bogus) polemic, and your favorite singer is singled out as a racist/miso

I don't think "taking underground" is the right metaphor, but it intensifies polarization, and makes these people feel persecuted. It's not that they care about the flag that much for most of them. It's that sudde

If you want to do research, you don't have too much alternatives. Often, teaching is considered as a necessary evil, or a distraction. That's indeed unfortunate. Maybe the two should not be as tightly coupled as they are. That bei

If you're interesting on why homegrown languages can be interesting, I'd recommend "The Rise & Fall of Software Recipes" (1). The book is more of a softeng memoir than an argument piece, but it has some very interest

The style is one of the appeal (without being the totality of it - I definitely would like the straigth version as well). Personally for instance, I read "Shame & Society" once, found it fascinating, but couldn't really p

Fine, but then it's a question of nuance - you could say James Joyce's command of the English language is better for instance (or whatever, this is just an example). Saying that one believes it would be as bad to lose Scott's

Good point, but only if you include the middle name (Alexander), and except for one of these links that is a bona fide doxing, most are matches for "Scott Alexander".

But, why not? If you believe Dominic Armato is that good, why not try to convince other people he's worth looking into? (I agree that in any case, making rankings of writers isn't very useful.) Aaronson wasn't trying to make

Indeed, good catch!

Maybe. Bit of a crapshoot between both approaches - I don't think Scott think it would blow up quite like this? Scott is not afraid of being outed to nerds at all, but to the PC mob (sure, there's an intersection... let's rep

Scott has been doxed in the past, as is alluded in the post. It's not about not having anyone know who he is. It's about the volume (and the quality) of the attention he'll receive if his name is in a high-profile thing. Ba

Also, it should go down. If you're going to call something vile, you should at least provide some argument to that effect. Second, and not that it matters, but searching Scott's real name does not link him as the author of SSC, wh

Does Scott Aaronson speak for the tech community now? I'll take Scott Alexander over Mark Twain any day, and this is my my belief and not hyperbole, thank you very much. So what? People disagree over the internet, big whoop. What'

If only this tweet stopped at "citation needed", it would have been good. Now it's a sad reverse godwin point.
