Vivaldi is not open source

Quit it with the Vivaldi ads, it’s closed source and based on chrome. Go away, stop shilling.

Property tax is the big thing that forces people to engage with capitalism against their will.

Without property tax, you could live off-grid for eternity. But with property tax, you always have to earn money, and the people that control that money therefore control you.

Voting isn’t enough. We need a plan B and it will take hard work. We need capable organizers, physical security, mutual aid, economists, doctors, and more. If that’s you, please consider joining the DSA.

Conservatives have stacked the system in their favor through gerrymandering, coups, politicized courts, voter intimidation, and at times outright fraud. Not to mention that many Democrats vote alongside Republicans in favor of the oligarchs.

Vote, yes, but also please help us make a society that renders oligarchy obsolete.

I feel enlightened now that you called out the self-reinforcing nature of the algorithms. It makes sense that an RL agent solving the bandits problem would create its own bubbles out of laziness.

Maybe we can take advantage of that laziness to incept critical thinking back into social media, or at least have it eat itself.

Yeah this is a common issue with docker. If you can get away with running the underlying tool without docker I would almost always recommend that instead.

Thank you!!

I disagree with most people here. The interview is the most important thing, so build it from scratch and make your own libraries. You will learn how to design good APIs which will make you infinitely more likely to get hired and promoted too.

Microsoft is more evil and has been doing this in Bing Chat since the beginning.

Divisive take. And an unpopular one, seeing as manjaro is the fifth most popular linux distribution.

To say it’s “completely incorrect” is an exaggeration at best. The paper you cited is far more nuanced than that.

Well there’s your problem :P every language has bad code examples

Even though most of the specifics you point to are wrong, it’s a good point overall:

Rust, being #1, should be better than all other languages. The fact that it’s just decent makes it seem overhyped, and all the downvotes on haters make it look like a cult.

Back when it was small, the cult-like following was OK. But now that the language is becoming more mainstream I think the Rust evangelizers need to tone it down a bit or they risk pushing people away.

On your point, TypeScript is a decent language too. There can be two good things.

In OP’s defense I have heard this said unironically by several engineers at my last job.

“Rust is going to replace JavaScript thanks to webassembly, so we should be moving all of our code to that.”

“Our client should be in the same language as our backend, just like in GWT”

Did you inline all those types just to make it ugly? Normally each of those subtypes would have been in a separate typedef, each with documentation.

Apologies for the tangent:

I know we’re just having fun, but in the future consider adding the word “some” to statements about groups. It’s just one word, but it adds a lot of nuance and doesn’t make the joke less funny.

That 90’s brand of humor of “X group does Y” has led many in my generation to think in absolutes and to get polarized as a result. I’d really appreciate your help to work against that for future generations.

Totally optional. Thank you

We should always add a mental asterisk to the names of male researchers who discovered things while women were oppressed.

That said, this meme is playing loose and fast with the specifics, which undermines that important message.

Just picking the first one:

Payne’s work was her Ph.D. thesis and Russell did not tell her not to publish it, her advisor did. The advisor told her not to rock the boat in her thesis. This is good advice that even Einstein was given. Payne, badass, declined.

When Russell later reproduced her research, he cited her thesis as the “most important research” he’d seen on the subject.

The real snub with Payne is that her title was “Technical Advisor” for 20 years despite being well regarded as a full time professor. It wasn’t until the 50’s she was recognized as a professor, when she was also made chair of the department.
