I find the whole “corporate blogging about fonts” subculture really funny

They've served 113 trillion: https://fonts.google.com/analytics

They're entitled to take fonts seriously.

Go to a type conference someday...

Why the “y” look so wrong in the special font.

Yeah, probably a good idea to remove it since i use github everyday and have no idea what a toast is .

Taking away Emacs may just lead you to procrastinate on something different, not work on something productive. So, I'm not sure that this is a tool problem or a personal problem.

why is it so common then? does everyone have a procrastination problem?

What statistic are you proposing? Number of repos / avg stars ?

Just average stars by language would be fun.

Do we really hold editorials to the same standard as the rest of the news? These are opinion pieces, you should expect bias, no?

An individual editorial? No. At the meta level when an outlet only allows a specific direction of bias, that doesn't feel like a good idea to accept.

Honest question, don’t all newspapers do this? Sure there are subjects where they publish articles representing different opinions, but on core issues (to them) there is only so much wiggle room before they will pull an opinion piece.

No, typically a paper with a strong editorial bent would have at least a token voice from The Other Side and ideally the editorial page wouldn’t always be six pieces about the president or his party every day, but that was before we got this clown show renewed for a second season.

Because the editorial authors are employees of the news organization, they must disclose the conflict of interest between their employer and its owner or parent organization and the matter they are reporting on.

Let's say an editorial piece says "AWS is the best cloud service" but fails to disclose that its owner also owns AWS, that would be a breach of journalistic ethics. Similar case here.

Regardless if it's in the opinions sections, if the author/publisher has clear biases, especially financial ones, they're disclosed somewhere in/next to the piece.

I just can’t believe people even read editorials. In the news outlets I read, they are clearly marked and it makes an easy and instant “skip”.

You should respect bias in the news as well, so pick a different criterion. Also the substance of bias doesn't become irrelevant just because you expect bias.

You can have bias without losing honesty and accuracy. The latter is the problem.

People are upset over the wrong bias lol

There is a reason they publish opeds right next to hard news. Its not by accident.

Such a bitchy blog post

Definitely a bitchy blog post. All these terminal editors suck!

News.gmane.io is up. I use it daily to track a few projects.

Ah, thanks. I knew there were issues, but somehow missed they'd resolved it.

A great service, glad to see it alive and kicking!

They have not resolved the big issue.

news.gmane.io has always worked.

The issue is that the owner of that domain made a mistake and gave the control of the web frontend to someone else who just shut it down.

I have a feeling that most data scientists using R have no need to touch any of the object systems, hard to believe that would be a deal breaker.

> most data scientists

It's hard to generalise for all data scientists everywhere, but that is not my experience.

Data transformation (80% of the job) is very functional and so objects systems don't matter much.

But when you are training neural nets in Python you are probably using a framework of some type. Torch in R looks very object orientation'y .

The issue is not that object orientation is fundamentally needed for data science, but when you install a random object orientated R library you get a random R object system or pseudo-object system that needs to be reasoned about.

It is a pity R didn't just ditch object systems or adopt a limited simple system like Lua's table approach.

I just install librewolf.
