> Joinable thread and non-joinable one are very different in usage.

What is the usage of a "non-joinable" thread in the first place? I mentioned in a comment that that concept itself seems like a code smell to me, and certainly not something that should be the default. See here to read why: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26142754
I dont think there is an employee named Jason. Employees are active on discord and github.
> sensationalized stories about self-driving deaths.

I disagree that they're sensationalized. Self-driving systems are designed to improve user safety, but when they end up making mistakes that human drivers _wouldn't_ make then it's appropriate to thoroughly investigate these systems.

> is because they were self-driving.

Well, precisely. We tolerate driving accidents because we know that the mobility that cars provide end up offering far more value to the world than the occasional accidents that we end up tolerating.

What's the trade with self-driving cars? What is the technology enabling that is worth the possible additional risks?

> car getting in a minor fenderbender and equating it with the safety of the entire car industry?

I don't think that comparison offers anything interesting, and it ignores the long and storied history of improving automobile safety. Look into Ralph Naders "Unsafe At Any Speed" if you really want to see people looking at "regular" accidents and deciding there was something to be fixed.
Comma’s driver monitoring is the best in the industry. It is not at all unsafe.
I will say Object Oriented Programming has probably also had a giant impact on how we model game systems. Is functional programming on the Process end of the scale?

This is nice, but I'm disinclined to take useful advice on how to live my life from people who are apparently less happy than I am.
I also did the StockMarketGame in high school (class of 2000). The market was ahhhh-booming. Howerver, I took advantage of the fact that the prices were delayed by 15 minutes (no real-time quotes), by the end of the semester, I think I had over a billion dollars in my account.
very true. Vajrayana Buddhism is a great example of this.
Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Just because you have a large industry of sharks doesn't mean the good work being done by reputable investment houses is invalidated.

In general, index funds work. Some are better than others because of fees or their stock selection process. But they do work. The reason is that stocks in a sector have high covariance, and the outliers that might pop up occasionally with low covariance are only a small part of the index anyway. It is trivially easy to optimise on variance with some goal such as a limit on the number of holdings.
It's interesting that the average speed on this road was already as low as 32 km/h, and dropped to 25 km/h. At these speeds, I doubt there were any traffic accidents in the first place.

There is a huge difference between 37Signals and us form business point of view.

37Signals is a product company having successful products in the market already.

We are an IT service company whose revenue literally and linearly dependent on the number of hours we work.

So need optimized solution for company and for developers.
Works well for me (FF4, Ubuntu). Looks awesome.

Edit: OK, after a while it starts to hang and do terrible things to the responsiveness of the system.
This article has very low information density.
Don't set me up as straw man for your anti-JS rant. I never said JavaScript was a functional language, and I never said it was a great language. I just said it is better conceived than PHP, no more, no less.
Yes I know but if you want to pickup "web development" as a beginner then chances are you're going to start with PHP unless you are getting trained by someone who happens to be using a different technology.

At least that's how it was back in 2006ish when I started. Its low barrier of entry is exactly why it's easy to make mistakes. You are given 5000 functions and no guidelines other than the ones you make yourself.
I think it would be a breach of privacy using geolocation data.

The reason I'm dismayed in this instance is that I can't work out how the connections are being drawn.
Because we are talking about proper legal entities here. If I want my data deleted, they should have the means an the will to do so. Nothing "magical" at all.

It is not as if I am asking "the internet" to delete my stuff, but "facebook", "google" or "okcupid".
Looks like a good case for decentralization of the power grid; a good application for a small modular LFTR[1] (or similar) power units. As a bonus, you won't need to spoil the scenery with HV transmission lines anymore.

I can't say I'm exactly thrilled about this. There are many more effective organizations they could donate to that aren't on the side of prohibition.

Oh we mind alright, we just don't have effective means of changing the system.
Uh.

Google really, really ought to be clear what the terms are for being included in the "Hacked Sites" index. They presumably mean to evoke Gawker with this description. But by their own definition, a site with a serious XSS flaw could end up in the same index†.

Meanwhile, you can be assured that despite the routine discovery of similar flaws across their own properties, the majors are never, ever going to see that Google scarlet letter on their own links.

† And why wouldn't it? It's a flaw with approximately the same impact on end-users, and on search integrity. I know it doesn't seem that way, but that's a quibble about the sophistication of exploits, not the vulnerabilities themselves.
Exactly.

I feel the same way about GoFundMe campaigns for medical bills. On one hand, I'm happy that some of them can get outside help, on the other hand why is a GoFundMe campaign necessary to stay afloat?

"Umm, what? If they would have said all of this yesterday and been more responsive, then there ould not have been so much speculation."

True.

On the other hand, the fact that the entire story was ad rectum speculation is conspicuously not Yahoo's fault.

Tomorrow's headline: "Did TechCrunch Just Kill Delicious?"
Maybe. I'll believe it when a large-ish city runs off of it.
Any cop that took a selfie should face charges along with the rioters. That's crazy.

But the systemic failure was the lack of support from the President himself and the deployment of the national guard.
It's the same in land surveying with the LPS licensing exams.
Apple doesn’t just control an operating system or an App Store. They also control a development toolchain and the two primary languages compiled for their platforms, as well as most of the frameworks used in commonly used apps (excepting the dreaded electron). They have a platform that’s been tailored to be profiled and optimized.

One early benchmark showed allocating and destroying an NSObject performing drastically better on the M1 vs recent Intel Macs. This wasn’t an accident. It’s probably not representative of performance overall. They have enough vertical integration to make their own first party solutions clear optimization targets.
> There are lots of sworn first-person statements, which aren't hearsay.

That is flat-out not true. Hearsay refers to whether or not the witness actually witnessed the event they are referring to, or is merely recounting what someone told them about the event. Some of the "sworn first-person statements" have the person literally swearing that they heard someone say something, which is literally hearsay. I haven't combed through every piece of evidence in every case, but a lot of "sworn first-person statements" basically amounted to hearsay or other statements that could not legally be sustained as evidence.

> Actually many of these cases never reached the stage of preventing evidence.

The first set of cases did reach that stage, and were often rejected because the evidence they did present was insufficient to sustain allegations.

> In a situation like this, demonstrating that the concerns are being taken seriously is more important than actually taking them seriously. The apparent legitimacy of the President is likely to have more of an effect on everything than who the president is, at this point. When these allegations aren't seen to be taken seriously it creates the appearance of illegitimacy, regardless of the facts.

Here's the problem. The people who are alleging this conspiracy--first and foremost Trump himself--are unwilling to sustain any evidence to the contrary. The Trump campaign and affiliates have lost 62 lawsuits in the past two months (and that's not counting subsequent losses on appeal). The legal theories in the most recent lawsuits start making pro se sovereign citizen bullshit look sane. Hell, Michigan has already filed a motion to impose sanctions on the lawyers for making these claims, which is a rare step.

And where did that get us? They're calling Mike Pence a traitor for not exercising unilateral authority to miscount the electoral votes--an authority that he does not have (read the 12th Amendment for yourself; it's not a long document). For the first time in 230 years, a mob has broken into Congress to commit sedition [1] to prevent the election of the next president. Not even in 1861, when the treasonous South objected to Lincoln's presidency, did this happen.

Why? It's not because we didn't demonstrate the concerns were being taken seriously. It's because way too many people were willing to indulge a delusional conspiracy theory that was ungrounded in truth, and to pretend that frivolous lawsuits that were clearly contrary to all prior precedent fanned [2] that delusion.

[1] 18 USC §2384: If two or more persons in any State or Territory [...] conspire to [...] by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, [...] they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

The mob that broke into the Capitol is unquestionably guilty of the crime of sedition.

[2] I have read several of the lawsuits and their briefs. I actually left a detailed comment about the Texas v Pennsylvania case when it was first filed, explaining 6 different reasons for SCOTUS to toss the case that didn't even address the merits at all.
Maybe you are confusing email address with Emmett conversations.
I wouldn't be surprised if some sighted users turn on the screen reader to get the 'worse' (read: superior) user experience. In some cases, the screen reader supported experience would be faster, easier to use, and more reliable.

I have not heard of "GamerGate". While reading the first half of the article, I thought it was intended to sound ironic. I had a hard time to find out what side he is on and what the actual point is.

When you criticize an institution the size of Wikipedia over one aspect of their culture and illustrate this through some fight of teenage boys vs feminists, then conclude that the institution is therefor doomed and go on to encourage people to tweet that they are not donating to it anymore, you risk to sound very childish. Especially when the article is written that bad.

On the other hand, I do not know him so this could also be a fantastically executed troll.
This is fascinating, I wish I could work through the math in greater detail. I feel like old equations like this could reveal opportunities for linking electromagnetism and gravitation (for example how acceleration is analogous to gravity) without getting into so much of the quantum and multiple dimension stuff that I feel is sometimes a distraction.

I think it's more likely that you have not experienced competent marketing at scale. It is indeed carefully measured and managed according to its ROI.

Being so dismissive of brand marketing is a big hint that you might not fully understand it. Consider that even companies that are very savvy about data collection and analysis engage in brand marketing, like Google.
> Naming yourself after a well known org

They're named after the concept of archiving things, as the entire point of the group is to archive things.

Archive Team itself is extremely well-known and has been the primary force archiving shut-down websites for over a decade. The 1TB Geocities archive - possibly the most famous website archival project ever - was their work.
+1 to paid take home. I make sure all companies are ready for this to make sure my candidate pool is respected.
Depends on others and your own.

You basically have to act as discerning as actually visually ideal people will be acting.

Matching everyone means matching already skipped people, which lowers your algorithm desirability to their level. More desired people wont even see your profile after that point. You wont appear in their feed and they aren't paying to see the whole queue of their matches.

So it is more important to imagine your desirability score than it is to amplify reach by matching more hoping for a bite.

As far as actually refining your profile, you’ll have to figure that out either way. A/B test, do whatever, thats its own separate art. But making sure it stays visible means being discerning. Takes several weeks for the algorithms to set you in place, and several weeks to change. So best to keep yourself distracted with other things, otherwise it'll just hurt your self esteem until more consensus-attractive people start matching you.
L-theanine works for me, although info take it at a pretty high dosage (3x350mg), which I take twice, once in the morning when I get up which gets me through the workday, and then the same about 2 hours before I go to bed. The effect is fairly subtle, since it doesn’t have the obvious sedating effect or a benzo, but it seems to do something for me, at least, to take the edge off.

I’ve been on this regime for about 2 years now, and haven’t noticed any sort of tolerance build up.
God, rejection sensitivity was such a huge challenge for me, it would have helped a lot if I could have been diagnosed before being an adult.
At some point, I was using IE 5, then IE 5.5, then Opera and then Firefox 0.8! Used some Neoplanet as well, but I cannot remember when anymore, must have been before Opera...
IE 5.5 was great at the time, though mouse gestures and tabs on Opera were better.

tl;dr for you: blacks can do no wrong, asians are historically racist and although whites are almost completely absent from perpetrating these recent hate crimes its their fault.
Let's be honest. Safety and liability issue is a convenient excuse and in reality, a small part of the reason.

The developmental aspect is the real reason. When you're talking about the 7/8/9 grades, the point of Little League is to get the attention of scouts for professional organizations and colleges. When you introduce millions in signing bonuses to an 18 year old or athletic scholarships, you're begging for adults to poison the well. Little League has a history of cheaters and the organization, at best, is frequently overwhelmed in dealing with them.
One of those countries is an authoritarian "communist" state with a well oiled dissent suppression machine.

> I’ve put a little system in place where, instead of margin-right:20px;, the grid items have a margin-left:20px; applied. This pushes them all a little too far across but doesn’t break if you put them in a container that is 20px too wide. Then, once all that’s happened you pull the container back by 20px.

That doesn't really make sense to me. Why not just use :last-child, and use a JS fallback if you really want to support browsers that don't support that?
It's not. The primary profile email is used currently:

That's an interesting request though. This isn't the email I have configured in my ~/.gitconfig either.
I've been using Locale since it was first available for my G1 over two years ago, and it has never let me down. It's quite honestly the killer app for Android as far as I am concerned, not only because it's extremely useful, but because it embodies everything that Android is capable of that Apple has refused to allow in iOS.

The best part though is that you can download apps from the market that do nothing but add even more conditions and settings to Locale, such as: headphones plugged in or not; whether the phone is on a car dock; launching other programs; lockscreen passwords; and many more.

As an example of what it does for me:

Default settings: Wifi off, Ringer volume 85%, Media volume 70%, Password Lockscreen on.

At home: Wifi on, Lockscreen off

At work: Wifi on, Ringer volume 0%, Vibrate on

At night (10pm-7am): Ringer volume 0%

Headphones plugged in: Media volume 20%

I think that's far too cynical. gdb is fine, but there is tons of room for improvement, and more competition in this area can only be a good thing. It is early days yet for LLDB, but it is a promising start.

I've yet to see any IDE/debugger setup on a Unixen that comes close to competiting with Visual Studio's debugging interface, as unfortunate as that is.
Is there a decent editor I can extend using ruby?

I keep trying to tackle emacs or vim and getting thwarted. I'm not fully convinced they're what I want, and I feel like I won't know until I spend a year learning one, and by then I'll be wondering if I like it because it is awesome or because I have Stockholm syndrome.
The phrase "suicide victim" seems odd. How can someone be the victim of an intentional act executed by one's self?

But cold as the company's action might be, perhaps it will help. I believe that in Chinese culture, family responsibilities are very important. Perhaps knowing that their family would benefit from their suicide has been a perverse incentive.

I'd be really interested to know what to properly call it, but IMHO this is the kind of thing that the market will never solve top-down because the structure of the relationship would never support it.

I think an on-the-ground solution that caters to the long tail would be the only thing that would basically survive. Everything else would succumb to social forces and basically just fizzle out.

AirDropping Apple credit could be an interesting pilot study, but I doubt Apple would do something like that sadly :/
4 out of 5 of the places I've lived in London had DSL but no cable, so for 80% of my experience in London BT was the onyl last mile provider available.

> the efficient market hypothesis assumes that emotion, mass psychology, etc. don't enter into stock markets

Isn't mass psychology part of "public information"?? I know little about stock markets, but from the outside I would say that "how I think people will feel about a company" is pretty much what I would base my "bet" on whether a stock will go up or down.
Can this logic be applied to another environment that has had a ton of money poured into it? Specifically, .NET. Can you replace Ruby/Python in the question with C# and if so, why doesn't the latter benefit from money and experienced developers?
TBF, (experienced) docs usually believe their patients even when they tell weird stuff, but:

1. we tend to overlay our own interpretation over what is described. Because that's pretty much the only way if we are to hope to do something about it.

2. In cases where something really unusual (meaning, not described in the literature) happens, modern medicine is an exercise in flying blind. Our profession is completely bound by best practices guidelines. The days of individual experimentation are long gone, and no one will ever forgive you for taking the off-path if there are negative consequences in this day and age.
You mean the people who are out there (to use terms from the article) meeting the world on their own terms, believing that they (and not their circumstances) affect their achievements?

You realize that the idea of characterizing a large and active social movement as an idle demand for a handout and government coddling is just spin, right? Have you ever met a serious SJW? Do they seem like apathetic victims to you, or do they have the kind of "resilience" detailed in the article?

You seem to be taking the article to mean that "injustice is OK because <insert disadvantaged group> can just be resilient and endure it"?
> Should they forced to shuttle around drunken and incontinent people too?

Holy red herring, Batman. Are you serious equating drunk people with disabled people who need physical accommodations? The ADA does not have anything to say about mandating accommodations for drunk people.

Separately, people who are incontinent actually, you know, do things to manage their condition (like wear adult diapers as necessary). They aren't just randomly shitting everywhere. Your contrived examples are just downright offensive.
I don't even think they own all of them? There are a billionty porn site aggregators that pull from Pornhub and get ranked on Google, Bing, and other search engines.
