Normally I'm not especially enthusiastic about doing another round of java bashing, or another revival of an old (but good) PG article. But there is one last prediction here that has become very relevant in the past few months:

"Its daddy is in a pinch... If Sun runs into trouble, they could drag Java down with them."

Hard not to hear an echo of this prediction from 2001 when reading about Apache's decision to drop out of the JCP.
I don't get it, this was posted here days ago and we all discussed it then? Why has it been uploaded to codinghorror now? heh.
Sad. Some people just want to watch the world burn.
This is great feedback and something I can do better. I had actually done a retrospective on the change of the landing page but you're right... it still needs improvement.

At some point I'll probably hire a "real" designer to help me... since i'm not a designer by any stretch of the imagination.
They've been at it since (long) before google even existed and have had self driving cars for nearly two decades. The thing that needs to be done is to expand the conditions under which it works and to improve the reliability because an intervention is a lot worse than having to do an evasive maneuver when you're already driving.

I agree that certain demographics are most likely to click than others. I myself rarely click on ads, and estimated that click through rates must be very low (1/1000). Yet, my sudoku game site routinely has CTR of 2-5%. No ad tricks, just a large and obvious ad. I can only imagine what CTR tricky ads get.

What is the magic behind this ?
Interesting idea, sort of a "component as a service". The name kind of bugs me but whatever.

If you're like me and automatically hit enter in every text box, you might get confused when the form resets.

Is there a way to get your button's count through some API?
That's true of older versions with security updates too.
It should be noted that GitHub's article on removing sensitive data is still applicable if you haven't pushed anything back to GitHub yet. Remember that a commit is just an entry into your repo, it doesn't synchronize with `origin/master` until you tell it to. So if the user has not pushed to GitHub yet, but has committed in their local Git repo, they should follow GitHub's guide and not worry about changing any keys.
I think the sensory changes are easy to explain, but the psychological ones are harder. One way i've heard it explained is that it allows you to look at yourself and your life without being you. That is, it puts you in a state that somewhat strips away the filtering mechanism of your ego. You can look at an issue/idea/concern without your brain immediately reacting to it because of who you are. That said you can also have a lot of "revelations" that seem profound when in that state, but seem pretty silly when sober.
Erm, is it really free? I just followed your link, which lead me to https://www.aws.training/home?courseid=3&language=en-us&sour... ... which lead me to http://www.globalknowledge.com/training/course.asp?pageid=9&... ... and there I find out it's $2095 USD.

Hopefully I'm mistaken... because I'd love to take it if it's free!

Thanks for pointing that out. TIL that my browser trusts the CAcert root, which is not something I remember doing.

It gets a lot trickier with an autonomous robot. Who is response for the death? The owner? What if the owner is a foreign corporation? Or even a known foreign person who has never been in the United States? If a remote crime is committed on your behalf by a robot, are you culpable?

There are a lot of open questions here that need some sort of resolution.
Yeah whatever, I'll believe it when I see it. UC Berkeley announced plans for student housing 3 years ago, I still see scare mongering signs warning about "transient residents." Doesn't matter what the zoning says, these people will find a way to block anything:

“They thought they were going to get away with doing their soil samples,” Bates said, referring to UC Berkeley. “We’re saying, ‘No, you cannot get away with it. This is going to be more costly than you know.’” [1]

That is a good point on the first part. What I was trying to demonstrate with my point and only recently was able to put into words is that not making new laws doesn't solve the problem they were worried about. I would also say history has shown that unchecked power leads to abuse and that only solving problems in time has led to terrible outcomes.

Towards your point on their third argument, the arguments aren't similar. You don't want to keep only illegal things private. You can have a bank account, but I would expect you wouldn't want to share your account number with just anyone. The argument is disingenuous because everyone does have something to hide.

Going to the latter portion of your third point, regarding the timeliness of your "bad" behavior, that sounds like a terrible way to come up with rules. I wouldn't wait for the first murder to decide that maybe people killing each other isn't the best way for society to function. Of course, I do have hindsight of history to aid me in this, but if that is what is required, I would point you towards my first point about unchecked power. Depending on the specificity your argument requires, I think it applies. I think this also applies a little bit to your first argument around keeping around only immediately purposeful laws.

I think the real solution is to only keep around sensible laws and eliminate those that aren't. And I would say in this argument, these laws do serve an immediate purpose as these telecoms have demonstrated time and time again that they are willing to abuse their customers in ways that are totally legal.
Attacking the source? Weak.
Coffee and tea houses went big in the restoration era, so figure four hundred or so years too early. Now alcohol on the other hand, he could have drank his hipster PBR equivalent pretty easily.
thanks a lot! let me know if you have any questions ^_^
I had the same confusion after seeing the headlines, but after reading the respective articles, I think the point is that happiness and non-focussed dreamy state are helpful in freely exploring problems and links semi-consciously – sort of finding ideas in the back of your head – while the sadness (and anxiety) is needed to focus and keep trying to succeed in hard disciplines.

Moods correlate with states of focus and attention, and hence some states of mind are more useful in particular phases of the creative process.

I think it makes sense to some extent, as a happy person has no needs and can let their mind float aimlessly while an unhappy person wants to strive, focus and achieve to change his/her condition or to at least forget about the state of mind he/she is in.
It seems like, if one were an evil web developer, one could thwart blockers like these with a few nasty tricks. Server-side: on each request of a resource, salt all linked resource URIs and encrypt (after the host name) before sending the final document to the client. The resources can still be fetched, because the server can decrypt any requests, but the client has no way of knowing whether a particular resource is an ad or not. That thwarts URI based filtering. To thwart DOM filtering, randomize element classes and ids.

Though impractical, I thought it was an evil/funny idea.
I live in a very touristy city where plain-old taxi drivers adopted a taxi app (EasyTaxi). We don't have Uber or anything and the taxi app uses regular, licensed taxis. The fact that I live in a boring neighborhood where regular people live rather than in a touristy area always meant I was underserved.

EasyTaxi changed everything. There were times when I simply couldn't get a taxi at all, now this is almost never the case. The entire system is far more predictable, so I use taxis a lot more - previously I would arrange to get rides from friends.

Taxi drivers also report to have 30%-50% better occupancy after the app. They no longer need the taxi coops so they are cutting that cost as well.

The value is there, even for an app that is not, like, breaking laws by running an unlicensed service. It's also a bit of a winner-take-all market - everybody wants to be where everybody else is. Whoever wins the fight will be a very big company.
and you are just registered on this site to say that. I trust you!

"deodorant causes cancer"

"being southern causes cancer"

"being black causes cancer"

I feel sorry for deodorant-wearing, southern, black, working fathers (or not) that cross-dress and enjoy bacon-burgers - they clearly don't stand a chance against cancer! Who knew?

@JonnieCache - Thanks for sharing! Kill or cure does a great job highlighting how research can be contradictory, as well as how research headlines are often made sensationalist.
It's a good idea to try to find a job this way, but given that he has been part of the Haskell community for a long time one might ask "Why can't he find a job using his network?" given his accomplishments.

I have never ever seen a job ad asking for Haskell, and the only time I needed to hire a Haskell dev (with NLP skills), a post to the Haskell mailing list led to zero replies, so we had to re-implement everything in Java.

Now I don't think this is a problem of functional programming not being popular, because there are some commercial shops using LISPs around.

I would like to read more blog posts about commercial implementations in "minor" languages.
Companies like to IPO where there’s high volume, and LSE doesn’t have much compared to US exchanges. Sadly it’s a chicken + egg problem because LSE is left with older, more legacy UK companies, making it less attractive for modern tech companies to list in.

The LSE could really do with this as a boost and to break the cycle. But this will IPO in the US.
I just have a "virtual" debit card to my name which stays empty until I purchase something online. So when these scam sites charge me, they fail. Haha.
That's sad, but fair. You pay for the joy. In other words, demand is weaker than supply, compared to other jobs, like COBOL.
> you might be doing addition over GF2

Then the function name, class, and/or comments should be making that clear! In this case, the BatchGF2 class does so. Maybe somewhere else a Fourier class has `fn add() { a * b } // a and b are in time domain`

but a standalone add() function with no comments or class should probably not be doing a ^ b, a - b, or a * b.

some github copilot like linter can then draw from other GF2, Fourier, etc code references vs vanilla add functions
> This is such a fucked up incentive structure [..]

It may well be(!), so let's assume you're right, what better incentive structure should we put in place instead?

Increase general taxation and use that to fund more pharamaceutical R&D?
Not much has changed if you look at the cheap alcohol available.
Watch the video on their website. It will help you to understand. How useful it will prove to be is yet to be seen.
I would go for 1x8GB if you want to upgrade it in the future with another 8 GB.
Reminds me of this XML-related vulnerability: https://siguza.github.io/psychicpaper/

I hadn't realized JSON was this susceptible to the same kind of issues.
Yeah. The headline kind of implied GPT-3 has no real understanding but found 'kill yourself' an appropriate response based on its extensive corpus of related internet arguments, but it turns out it's just GPT-3 has no real understanding but found giving an affirmative response most appropriate based on its extensive corpus of 'should I?' questions.

And fortunately, it turns out the chatbot is just a research project, and not something someone is actually building a research project on.
This is the same complaint that gets spat out at every non profit org. And even volunteers working for free.

"Why are you spending time and money on something I don't care for"

People complaining about charities having advertising campaigns and managers. Like they think companies do it just for fun and not that it actually works and is required.
I'm not getting that tone at all. For me it's coming off as "Here's a funny little viral moment we were a surprise part of. Also, it's kind of an interesting case study in misinformation spread online."
Thanks, great points. It's true, ABS can provide helpful feedback. On several occasions I had to abort cornering and keep going straight, because I once the ABS was engaged I knew there's no way I was making the corner (this was low speed on a patch of ice covered by fresh snow).

Also, I find the electronic stability control system extremely useful for detecting black ice. A slight acceleration attempt provides instant feedback if the road is slippery, but not immediately obvious.
Indeed not, so it's not a full replacement. I'm not entirely sure that I like the idea of an "if let" variant creating bindings that escape the visual block, but I'd probably get over it.
It was an algorithms class. But I'm 100% certain there was at least one ;)

I know I shouldn't talk about down votes but I love how it proves my point. It is impossible to have rational discussions about these topics and so it's actually optimal to avoid them entirely.

And as an aside the game had homosexuality and so assuming there was some conservative stance on the part of the game developer appears ill founded.
Expect no one to stand up for you when you, too, are inevitably mistreated.
Reminds me of the computer that they build in the three body problem: hundreds of horsemen act as the bus, and infinite amount of aliens either holding a flag up or down act as a massive computer to calculate the three body problem.
Reminds me of the book "The Island of Lost Maps"[0], although there are no acrobatics there is still stealthy thievery.

Like Elon Musk's menial job.
Ramen is also one of the easiest things to traffic and trade with in prison. You can easily transport 10 - 15 packs of ramen on your person. Other items are bulkier and thus more visible under your uniform.

Then there's the whole thing about return on investment, in Texas, ramen rarely loses its value.. you can buy it for 30 cents from commissary, and you can sell it for 30 cents, technically you can trade 3 ramens for services or items that would normally cost $1.00.
Since this is being picked apart a bit in the comments, I should clarify that I don't think this is the BEST solution to this problem. It's the solution that gives you 90% if the value with 5% of the work.
Haha of course not

But for example, I picked my next school based on where my elementary school friends went and insisted to my parents that this is where I wanted to be, despite it being a worse choice for my then-grades. And then a few years later again, I picked for my school path to be economics over math (what I actually wanted to do), because my friends picked it.

Or, I was convinced for a while I wanted to work in a hotel post-school for no reason, despite learning programming by myself and being a computer kid writing my own programs and websites. I even applied to hotel-related jobs constantly until my parents pushed me to go to software engineering instead.

So what I mean with 'driven by impulsivity' is that often important decisions aren't handled with reason, but with pure emotion and impulses. Most of the time that's fine when you're young, but there are still times when you want to use logic over impulses.
It's a falsehood when you leave out the part where it only works with very specific printers that support your new driver.

It's probably worth giving it a go but unless you have very mainstream musical tastes, expect to be at least somewhat disappointed.

Their catalogue isn't too bad for a free service (probably around 40% of what I search for comes up with useful results) although having to listen to adverts every four songs seems a bit much, and it's certainly not worth paying to get rid of them.
Eh, it's just kindof fun. I was playing trivia the other night, so I updated it to say "Ryan added 'trivia' to 'things I love'".

Or, some jerk stole my friends bike the other day, so I updated it to say "Ryan added 'people that steal aaron's bike' to 'things I hate'"

Kindof like status updates, but categorized.
Well, if I go out and buy some stock in a publicly traded company post IPO the company won't see any of my money it will simply go to someone who purchase it from its current owner.
Fair enough, we're working on getting some policy pages up ASAP.
For what it's worth, Woobius ran with only sign-up/login on the front page, for about 6 months, before we finally got around to adding some information about what the service was. In that time, being naturally viral, it grew to over 1000 users.
What is a scenario where business would be disrupted in this manner? After all, even with the bailouts, credit is as hard to obtain.
Fantastic. But as I said, the site looks great and is extremely simple to use (from what I can see) - my only concern is the TOS :)

I don't see the flaw.

Causing unnecessary pain and suffering is not compatible with being humane. It's as simple as that. There are better solutions with fewer side effects for every use case of a shock collar. If not every single use case, the overwhelming majority of them. (edit: I didn't realize you were the one advocating using shock collars on a rescue dog that barks too much. A shock collar isn't even in the right ballpark in that case.)

Dominance and pain based training methods are outdated and based on debunked theories, in the past three decades almost the entire field of animal behavior has moved on.
It doesn't matter what the scientist's motivation is, what matters (in the context of the letter's argument) are the eventual results.

Applied to the microscope-argument: Even if the inventor and early users of the microscope were only interested in satisfying their curiosity, the results are immeasurably valuable many years later.

It just seems like a distraction. YC probably has more important things to do than becoming the US News and World Report of venture capital.
I've been hired through SO Careers and also hired 1 developer through it. Neither was through a job posting - both were through using their candidate search service.

If it's pin protected then either it has to be used with another system that can lock out pins or I can build a robot to try all pins using simple plans from the internet. Problem solved. So how does this device help again?

Also it's quite common for people to give their pin to thieves it happens at ATM stick ups all the time. The difference there is in cases where they are forced to withdraw money they aren't liable(it's considered the bank being robbed not them) and in cases where the thief takes the info and runs they can call the bank cancel the card and not be out anything.
Use EngineYard if you need better control over servers, installing custom unix packets and stuff like that. Use Heroku for everything else. I've had great experience with both companies, so I believe that you can't go wrong with any of them.
Plus, they let you send mail. As far as I know, all ports are open.

EDIT: Why the down-vote? Is my comment wrong? Is it out of topic? I can understand the random up-votes, but I thought the down ones should be justified.
Interesting.

I find it easy to accept that your diet works--especially that it works for you. Just the notion that it works for the reasons outlined, seems outlandish to me. (But I do not have enough information either way.)
Find people who are engaged in things you like. Get into discussions/debates/arguments with them. Afterwards, you'll feel the need to read about the topic.

Its great for everyone involved because you all improve from this.

If you can find a discussion group in college, that might help... but its better if you can do this with friends. Sitting around with a few beers and arguing about computer science, math, philosophy, history, current events, etc... is a lot of fun and you can joke around a bit too.
What the the stock market is saying is almost worthless. Mere rumors can influence stock values with 10%.

I want to know what the customers are saying, because they make or break a company, not some suits playing with stocks.

Regarding Google, they're a company with one income source, no matter how many products use that income source. If they lose the search engine they lose everything.
"don't listen to your customers" means doing exactly the way you describe it in the second paragraph. It does not mean "don't pay attention to what your customers are doing".
I'm South African and I've never seen that used. Perhaps it is by people in a particular industry?
a) use a directional antenna for the jamming transmitter. Everyone except the car can receive the fob signal just fine

b) use a directional antenna pointed at the fob. You jam everyone but RSSI for the fob signal received through the antenna is still acceptable

c) jamming signal triggered by fob transmission, possible to jam specific packet bytes, like the CRC (recoverable later)

d) jamming signal uses a period that is a little shorter than packet length, repeated packets can be recovered by combining their intact parts

etc..
My LG CX "just works". Turns on in seconds, all the apps work fine, and everything is integrated really well. Certainly beats having to juggle three or four other things to get all the same services and figure out how to get the HDR/Dolby Vision and 4K-ness working between them all.. I'd probably need an HDMI switch as well. Instead I have one device with update-able apps and it works flawlessly. The only thing I needed to add was a Bluray player.

Oh, and the sound is fantastic, complete with Dolby Atmos support, without needing a soundbar or anything separate at all. Plus where am I going to find a non-smart 65" OLED panel with Dolby Vision support anyway?
