The whole point is that it IS related. Country club settings are historically a bastion of racism, and there is a modern corollary here. I think the burden falls on you to prove its not related.
> Yes, I have seen this phenomenon!

I've had this happen to me personally. Looking again and again at the tsan error and the code it pointed to, I was absolutely sure it was a false positive. Thankfully I got a friend to look at it and after a good night's sleep he was able to explain to me how exactly the code was wrong.

Tl;dr: It is extremely hard to write correct threaded code in C/C++, and it is quite hard to recognize errors even when they are pointed out to you.
In my opinion a lot of the spicy regulatory issues around coins with private transactions are still not fully realized because none of them have mainstream adoption. The problem here is that Signal's goal to succeed as a mainstream encrypted messaging client could have the unpleasant side effect of bringing this technology under regulatory scrutiny.
Hopefully things won't come to that, of course...
It's a shallow article on well worn territory. This is the closest it gets to touching your assertion

> A number of line managers told me they gamed the system. They would put people who had just joined the team in the bottom bracket, because they were easier to sacrifice. Or, perversely, they tried to hang on to poor performers so they could put them at the bottom and protect everyone else.

You are correct though, we have no way to accurately measure knowledge work. I'm a broken record on this, all performance management is subjectivity masquerading as objectivity.

It's making work about work that doesn't make the org more effective and in fact is toxic. There are too many examples from the past 40 years across industries for anyone to claim ignorance.
Apple designs it’s own chips, it doesn’t use ARM’s designs. They do use the ARM ISA, tho.
"Good X code to read" references are always useful.

I am looking for beautiful Scala code to read. Any pointers greatly appreciated.
That’s also why feminists will argue there’s no such thing as the "truly unbiased test" you seek: testing, by attempting to quantify the qualitative (scientific aptitude), will naturally privilege the testmaker’s perspective to the exclusion of alternatives.

Feminists are against quantifying stuff. Not so many feminists in science. Could there be a connection?

I dunno, sounds too hard to figure out. I'll just go write some critical theory instead.
2nd time for me. First was 'Rails is a ghetto'. Same author. I remember thinking "Wow, this guy looks 10 years older than me and I'd be embarrased to have written that when I was 15."
You've missed the point of the article. The world sucking makes people change their attitudes and err on the side of believing that people who are unfortunate are in their situation due to character flaws (rather than bad luck or bad starting conditions). A more objective evaluation of these individuals should take instead into account these additional features.

I've noticed a different dichotomy between people than what you describe. Some really pretend that the world is a meritocracy, and really go to extreme lengths to attempt to explain away differences from this position. They may be personally very compassionate to their close circle of friends and family, but have no "intellectual compassion" for third parties in bad situations. They do not contribute to charities, and feel cheated that "their money" is being "stolen" in tax dollars and redistributed to others.

On the other hand, others realise that the world is not a strict meritocracy, and can extend at least "intellectual compassion" to third parties in bad situations, recognising that bad luck and unfair starting conditions are the biggest part of how they're in these situations. They're more likely to treat these people as individuals, are more socially progressive, and favour redistributive social policy.

This article explains a fundamental bias that many people use in their judgements of others, especially the disadvantaged. As with other biases, if we are at least aware of it we can attempt to use this awareness to recalibrate our thinking slightly on social issues.
You must be reading a different essay.

I interpret that the author's fame doesn't help the author at all and that fame is a pointless asset.
Linus Torvolds as well - There's a number of reasonably famous programmers out there, and they're often known for revolutionising the areas of industry as opposed to their celebrity lifestyles. Not sure what the writer is on about here really.
I am not affiliated with lessaccounting.com, I'm not even a user/customer but I have read fantastic things about it.
The Linq suggestions are the only one where I frequently have to reject them for being unreadable, but overall yes I agree.
> Granted, most of the discussions in LibreSignal's repo [2] got very heated very quickly. Can't find the twitter thread of @moxie at the time, and lots of replies in there got deleted from both sides. Maybe someone else can provide an archived version or screenshot? [3]

I remember reading all those threads (the one on GitHub and those on Twitter) back in the day and, honestly, I didn't come away impressed by the way some people treated Moxie. I've been in his shoes a few times now (trying to build a product that works – technically and economically – with team of anarchistic techies) and can empathize with the path he's taken. Not understanding his POV is no excuse for being rude, though. Now, since you posted the link, I went through that GitHub thread again and my impression has stayed the same. A few quotes:

> Wow, moxie0 just sounds sounds like a giant cunt. Anyone who uses a binary compiled release of Signal from the Google Play Store for security is a fucking idiot. (https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issueco...)

> FUCK YOU OWS!!! (https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issueco...)

> I must say, you [moxie] really are the worst anarchist I've ever encountered in my life; but I'm no authority on the matter. Writing good software doesn't give you a license to bully other projects around unless they give you a WhatsApp-level payout. How about you keep your narcissism tucked in so that secure messaging in general doesn't have to suffer from it? (https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issueco...)

> That post [by moxie] is pure politics. It's a bunch of feel-good phrasing, cringe-worthy in its superficial slickness, that obfuscates what is really a giant policy-level middle finger from in terms of Open Whisper Systems shifting away from free software and into a centralized, All Rights Reserved commercial outfit. (https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issueco...)

Here's what the people in the thread had to say who didn't get all personal:

> [Directed to someone else on the thread:] Whatever your take on what "the right thing" is, there is no need to get personal. And as previously said, Signal is free software - that entitles you to the source code, and no more. Noone is in the right to demand that OWS do anything else, and that includes most of what is being said in this thread. (https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issueco...)

> I thank @moxie0 for replying when asked by @mimi89999, providing his (OWS) point of view in a polite and useful way, bringing up some truly interesting aspects of the issue. I can understand @cjeanneret's frustration, feeling just one step away from a truly free and secure messaging system, but this is no excuse for being rude. (https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issueco...)
I recently built a recipe search site that lets you filter by ingredients: https://recipe-search.typesense.org/

Given the "code == speech" SCOTUS ruling, they may not be able to outlaw crypto tech itself, but they can damn sure throw you in a cage for using it, based on ISP monitoring and mandatory key disclosure.

As with guns, the criminals will simply ignore the law. Anti-crypto legislation will be aimed squarely at We The People.
Unfortunately it requires me to get on something that is kept aloft by an extremely complex collection of moving parts that twist, wibble and vibrate. And doesn't glide.

Affordability is possibly a key component of atmosphere, so I'm not sure you can answer one way or the other.

If a place to too affordable, it likely suffers from major issues that make it undesirable (lack of employment, pollution, etc).

But, assuming you value some level of diversity, a certain level of affordability is required to maintain that diversity.
You may want to take a look at Pixie.

I'm the author of this, and also the founder of Gom VPN (getgom.com) and Javelin Browser (javelinbrowser.com). This was a 1 day project over the weekend, and really, it isn't anything magical. I admit the wordings while technically true, are a little misleading.

How does it work?

1) Get profile id of user
2) Use Facebook Graph Search to find publicly tagged photos of anyone.

That's it.
Since we're nitpicking, no it isn't. DMA is a particular method of accessing memory. You can have direct mapped access, cache mediated, PIO, DMA, etc. There can be many different memories, such as expansion cards, where you could DMA to/from, apart from main memory.
> Use it when you have a PHP 5.4+ codebase and just can't upgrade your client's infrastructure.

I personally would just avoid those kinds of clients, PHP 5.4 was released on 1 March 2012 and PHP 5.3 is only supported until 14 August 2014[1].

Actually, I see having to rework the type schema when the requirements change as a plus, not as a con. In a static language the compiler can point out all the bits of the program that need to be updated to conform to the new schema while in a dynamic language this kind of stuff is usually only detected at runtime.
> Nim: "no idea what to write here"

That's a good point. One could try "faster, safer Python" here, but I agree that it should be discussed and made official, so that anyone seeing Nim's homepage would immediately know what it's about.
A CLR doesn't solve much I think, if you look at .Net there's a single de-facto language (C#) and VB.NET died out just because people will gravitate toward the language which has all the help, stackoverflow answers, etc.

Sure, it makes using other languages possible, but typically that'll just be seen as weird.
Two problems with OSC:

1. There are no standard semantics for the messages. With MIDI, if you want to tell something that makes noise to start making noise, you send it a NoteOn message. While that may or may not do precisely what you want, the semantics are clear. With OSC, no such message exists. Every OSC receiver defines its own set of messages with their own semantics.

2. String parsing. It really does cost quite a lot to parse and dispatch OSC, because everything is string based. You can argue that it's worth it because of the flexibility, and in many cases, that's probably the right verdict. It doesn't get rid of the cost, however.

Isn't reporting the identity of an anonymous author a "true factual statement" important to understand his "goals" though? I mean, I agree this article was bad, but reporting it looks pretty rationalist to me.

I'm not saying you "shouldn't care" about this. I'm saying the fact that you clearly care so deeply is evidence that "rationalism" is largely a fraud. You want rationalism except when you get criticized, then you want a safe space.
> E.g. INTX will LIKELY have to put in more conscious effort to improve social skills in order to better communicate with people

I knew I needed to work on my social skills long before I tested as an INTP. My criticism is not that the correlations don't exist. My criticism is that they don't seem helpful.

> It also gives insights into how a person thinks and perceives the world [...] which otherwise you would have to read tons of paper on that person

Can't you just talk with them? Somebody once asked me for my MBTI class as a shortcut to trying to understand how to interact with me. It didn't work very well for them, and I didn't much appreciate being binned that way.

I've always been binned as a logical person in particular, but my internal landscape has been, subjectively, dominated by creative thought and expression. Logic is just a tool I use to impose some structure on that experience. People who stop at the surface -- and worse, who label me under MBTI -- manifestly do not understand me, my motivations, my goals, or my challenges. (If you go point to some MBTI page on Logicians and say "it mentions creativity right here!" I will be very cross with you.)

To say this is a sore spot may be an understatement.
I think the DIY aspect is the brand differentiation between "vanlife" and living in an RV in the wal-mart parking lot.

There's plenty of ready-made options, they're just not using the "vanlife" brand on their blog posts.
I don't know. If you're a really small shop the odds are frankly higher that poor administration will lead to your internal servers going down than that your (or Github's, really) server is down because of an attack by a state actor or someone with similar resources.
Good afternoon NSA plant (yes, this is just as ridiculous as your assertion).

Does the USA have free elections, and free media? I thought most people didn't vote and they only had two choices. Lawyer man number one who went to Harvard, or lawyer man number two who went to Harvard. I thought the corporations owned most of the media in the USA? The USA ranks very low on freedom of the press rankings. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'd be very interested if you knew how their society worked, or if you had visited the country? If you don't then you are ignorant. But, I'd love to hear your opinion anyway (assuming you aren't locked up without a fair trial), since that is the American way. A country with 45% illiterate people sure does have a lot of loud opinions.

Sure - it's a society with many(many) issues, but it does have elections. With more people voting in them than in the USA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_the_People%27s_Re...
I hope they do. I hope they regret it happened. It should never have happened.
Code generation in Go is so fantastic. I made this in one late evening: https://github.com/bouk/go-faster
It looks to me like a transition to 'inverted totalitarianism'/'managed democracy': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_totalitarianism

The state is increasingly controlled by the hyper-wealthy individuals and corporations that fund politics, and its policies and propaganda increasingly reflect their interests. Standard totalitarianism, by contrast, is where the corporations are controlled by the state.

As to whether it's new, I suspect it's just today's manifestation of the same shit that's always been going on, where the wealthy and powerful oppress the poor using whatever technologies are available.

The interesting bit for me is how technology will change people's reaction. It's always been the case that powerful people can manipulate mass media to control the narrative. However, it's only recently that we have developed tools that make it possible for one person (e.g. Snowden) to undo billions of dollars of secrecy by leaking more documents that one could physically carry if they had been printed on paper, then distributing them to millions at zero cost. I think this tips the balance in favour of the citizens. I suspect that we are just seeing more of the efforts to control us exposed in the media than we normally would be aware of.

It kind of brings to mind the recent spate of child abuse revelations in the UK. I don't for a moment think that that sort of stuff only started happening a decade or two ago. Far more likely that it has always been present and only now do we have technology and media that makes it near impossible to hide, so it all comes out.

I wonder what other technologies will emerge that allow us to surveil the powerful in new ways for the first time in history, whether they like it or not.
The attack is fairly simple:

The Great Firewall intercepts requests to Baidu's CDN from outside China, specifically HTTP requests for Baidu's analytics scripts.

Users from outside China who visit web properties that use Baidu's analytics get malicious JS that injects <script> tags every two seconds to spam github.com with requests.

Nobody would notice that attack, except GitHub cottoned onto this and replaced the github pages with JS that spawns a little alert() popup.
I'm kind of amazed that these trolls are so obvious. It makes me wonder how much user generated content is really government generated content that we miss because it's not as apparent.
Rust is described as the successor to C++ so often that it's easy to end up assuming that it's a drop in replacement.

It's not. It's a very different language, but designed for the same use cases (mostly). There are many C++ patterns that become pointless, and new patterns you need.
I'd kinda agree with that, there generally needs to be a driving force, and that driver is often primarily a group of persons who already have a measure of power. But it's not as much a starving populance that would be worrisome, rather an ignored one that a. feels it has no power and b. feels it cannot ever bridge that gap between haves- and have-nots. If that group includes the majority of the population, it would seem ripe for people with specific [often extremist?] agendas to manipulate, or maybe ground-up revolution driven by [demagogues?].

You've got to start somewhere. More often than not you start with the easiest option and find that you're knee-deep in crap a ways down the line. If all you care about is ease-of-use over learning opportunity you might as well default to Windows with whatever flavor of Visual Studio you can get.

Wouldn't that generate a shitstorm of criticism for monitoring users, or do you mean some sort of opt-in protocol?
Quote: Other companies that license Adaptive Semantic’s technology for online comment moderation include CNN, Newsweek, and Disqus. They might have to start looking for other solutions. “We will honor the contracts, but very likely will not renew them,” says Hippeau, who doesn’t want to be in the business of licensing technology to other news sites and services.

Outside? I mean, from the cellular automata's perspective we are outside of their universe.

Maybe the so called architect (or god as you prefer) that some people like to talk so much is actually outside space/time.
He just doesn't affect us (besides the original seeding or big bang) like these people say.

Of course, if we go that way we might end up with a discussion about the matrix, what is reality and so on...

Job Titles: Web Application Developer and Data Product Developer

We're looking for smart programmers for two types of positions to work on and with our application. Our core system, which is a distributed analytics engine, is built in a functional language with strong list processing capabilities and heritage (K, which has come up on HN a couple times) and our front-end is web-based rich application built with JS. We particularly want people who have an interest in functional languages and web apps.

The web position is very heavy on JS, so we're looking for someone who deeply understands "the good parts" and knows how to negotiate the bad parts (we have clients who use some older browsers).

The data position involves both writing code and doing analysis on data using our system, which is the fastest out there (i.e. we can process queries on billions of records in seconds), so it's pretty exciting. We're looking for swiss-army programmers for these positions.

If you're interested, email jobs at 1010data dot com and mention this post.

I don't think they have to do anything but publish the specs. That's not 'support' as far as I'm concerned. In fact its easy to argue that Apple will benefit from motivated top tier hacker feedback on their designs.
Yes, I'm aware of the relationship to SARS. Did you know for the original SARS, natural immunity lasts ~3yrs? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2851497/

Makes all you're saying have even less sense.

> They didn’t create a successful vaccine in under a week from scratch without a lot of knowledge of closely related diseases. It’s that same knowledge which is behind the dosing schedule, and why it was tested like that.

Was there a SARS vaccine? What same knowledge would give the current dosing schedule then? Why does it trump the new knowledge gained from an actual RCT of the vaccines?

> With local herd immunity things go back to normal even if the rest of the world is dealing with the disease.

Huh? So then the US doesn't need the global herd immunity like I was suggesting?

> PS: The demographics of the developing world even support a staggered approach. First a focus on vaccinations for the elderly and medical workers globally then local herd immunity based on population demographics. Local herd immunity protects those who the vaccine can’t, but evenly spreading out vaccinations to the younger population accomplishes little.

Okay, how is this relevant to whether or not there should be a longer time between initial dose and booster? It's totally irrelevant.
