I agree that some conduct guidelines are justified, but should be minimal. The feeling against them is due to overreach, where they stray away from codifying generally acceptable b…

> NumFOCUS found I violated their Code of Conduct (CoC) at JupyterCon because my talk was not “kind”, because I said Joel Grus was “wrong” regarding his opinion that Jupyter Notebo…

A common enemy, often fictitious, or with enough fictitious components to its character to render it a travesty of reality.

Thanks for the list, she doesn’t recognise any of the sites listed there. Also she has burner/spam email addresses she uses for smaller/less reputable sites, this is the main email…

Hi HN, this one might be a bit mundane but I’d like to prevent others getting scammed. My girlfriend has just received a phishing email that contains all her contact details, and a…

It’s art.

I don’t, they can say anything posing as anyone and the general public will believe it, this is a genuine hazard. Seriously, if I were them I’d pull the plug until this is fixed.

This is nuts, Twitter is totally compromised and they haven’t pulled the plug. Not confidence inspiring.

Going against the grain here, yes, I would. Professionally I haven’t been very involved in deployment, but my experience deploying personal projects to, and configuring, Linux serv…

> And in terms of replicating, these are derived from stem cells. All of everyone’s cells are derived from stem cells. The issue is still how prone to uncontrolled proliferation th…

The main benefit is handling binding and state, and allowing you to easily break your application into a component hierarchy of reusable components. It also has an ecosystem that w…

Exactly, punish the engineer for using mildly unflattering language, never mind that he was right and that hundreds of people have subsequently died. Mind boggling response, and as…

Would these be expected to change by country? I’m getting different results from grc for Facebook, Wikipedia and others in the UK, but the results are consistent between different …

It’s just training an image labelling AI on a different, sensationalist dataset. It looks designed for media attention and nothing else. What value is there in this?

I’ve seen this before and I really have to wonder what the point is other than sensationalism. An image labelling AI will label images according to its training data. Yes, of cours…

The fastest way isn’t to eliminate the other possibilities, it’s to find a unique test for a that can’t be met by any of the others. Bear in mind that your list of alternative caus…

> Claims like Paul's are just the intellectual equivalent of chest puffing. Don't get roped into the stupidity. This kind of attitude causes divisions and turns you into a prideful…

Yes, I equate intelligence with reasoning. For me, and realistically most everyone else, intelligence is the ability to reason, formulate solutions to problems and to quickly grasp…

We can pretend to be outraged by it but he’s very likely right. We’ve arrived at a point where it’s unacceptable to say that people have different levels of ability or that some pr…

It’s the most currently socially acceptable way of agreeing with the argument. Which is in itself a wonderful way of highlighting what you can and cannot say, not to mention the pu…

Your characterisation of the Chinese public does not make it seem more sympathetic, quite the reverse: it makes them seem petty and spiteful, lashing out at a population which is b…

Also getting this in the UK. Not completely down, bits and pieces of medium comes through but very slowly and incomplete. I’m also unable to access npm.

You’re not missing anything, its just bad reasoning.

I’m impressed by the method of mapping higher dimensional vectors to a consistent tree representation, but I’m not sure what the take home point is after that. The BERT embeddings …

I imagine that it’s focal length. With current headsets you’re staring at a screen directly in front of your eyes, only giving the illusion of depth. This appears to be modulating …
