I'm so mad that I didn't know the hitting F thing!

Terribly so. So we need more high-quality research, not to stop researching it. The scientific method can only get better by putting it in practice.

It seems that the statement "blood flow doesn't tell you anything about neural activity" is definitely not true: https://www.nature.com/scitable/blog/brain-metrics/what_does...

Also, it seems dangerous to suggest rejecting studying a specific area because the scientific tools and our understanding around it are currently limited - this is what science is for after all. If we thought this way, we wouldn't have nutrition research.

It could mean "I'm lonely, so I think unlike everyone else." This doesn't make a lot of sense. Would people do it out of spite?

Makes sense to me actually: I wouldn't say it's even necessarily conscious, but the less you interact with others, the more you can become set in your own ways and create pathways to seeing your beliefs as truths.

I suspect it's a needed trade-off between security and practicality. I have no idea how "needed" it is though, can someone shed some light on this? Also, couldn't Signal add their own encryption layer?

Agree, in fact this pattern is found almost verbatim in Go's documentation: https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/sync/semaphore#example-packa...

Nice. I like the (shortest) output of this one better. And as opposed to trivy, it was able to detect the packages (and 1 vuln) in ghcr.io/linuxserver/swag.

Was looking into this yesterday as I have a bunch of containers running on my media server. Found this tool: https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy which allows you to easily scan your images for vulns. Anyone have other recs?

Yes, can someone clarify this? What the hell is going on here?

Respectfully disagree. You're essentially arguing that they're not politically motivated in staying at/leaving their job. That's fair. Nevertheless their actions translate either support, inaction, or opposition. The implication which MLK argues is that inaction is harmful to the movement.

Which, as your parent seems to not realize, is also a political stance. This dichotomy is exactly what MLK refers to in the Letter from a Bermingham Jail (i.e. positive vs negative peace).

If so it’d turn around a long held belief that STEM education is biased towards men. At least in grade school.

No, you can't infer this conclusion from that paper.

Yes, the paper claims that there exists some bias towards girls (from teachers' grading). And the sentence you quote claims that without that specific bias, the gender gap would be in favor of boys ("12.5% larger"). However, we do not know if this figure is free of bias (IMO, fair to say probably not). Therefore, there might be other biases in STEM in favor of boys that could explain the gender gap in their favor.

Interesting, wonder if he's looked at the data from levels.fyi. Although it's surely not representative.

Sounds like an application for Multipath TCP: http://www.multipath-tcp.org/

This is interesting, I was asked this question in an interview for a Microsoft internship, but for a binary tree.

What does YouTube have that you can't find elsewhere on the web?

It's at least a user enumeration issue

Yup. 10 years later, Chrome doesn't even come close to Firefox's implementation.

Very cool. Is there a writeup somewhere?

Yes, JWTs don't bring anything new to the table. In fact, most articles promoting their use don't even explain why you should use them. This is cargo cult programming at its utmost.

Hijacking this thread to say that blog post isn't about Microsoft as a whole, but only about Microsoft's Developer Division (Visual Studio, etc.). The rest of Microsoft still uses the standard whiteboard/Leetcodey approach.

Really good. As other people mentioned, it's not technical, but it's super interesting to see the emotional impacts those games had on Lee Sedol.

This is really cool as Qt just looks daunting to start with! Is there a way to make it use native widgets? I noticed the app in the screenshots doesn't look like native Ubuntu.

Pipenv is designed solely for packaging applications, per the maintainers' admission. It's not suited for libraries and is not designed to be. If you want to replace pip, you should have a look at Poetry.

I think what they meant is how do you identify the authentic content the first time around?

Yeah, after 10 seconds I just gave up and navigated to https://contacts.google.com

There is no need to build airplanes with flapping wings, but you could still say that human flight is inspired by bird flight.

This is a super interesting analogy and it's changed my perspective a bit. But it all depends on your end goal. You say:

We don't even know if the human brain is actually good at what it's doing.

What is it doing? Do we want our AIs to maximize learning or just human-like behavior? If it's the latter, I believe you absolutely want to look at neuroscience and emulate the human brain. Of course, airplanes are super good at flying, but they look nothing like birds.
