Remarking that "reverse racism" is not harassment does not preclude minorities from being harassers.

A plain english reading of the document suggests otherwise.

They don't say "all -isms are banned", they say "we will not act on complaints of X Y and Z". In other words, it would appear to legitimize harassment committed by non-minorities.

If they meant your definition, that definition is what should have found its way into the repository.

Put another way, if this is a legalistic document that people are going to be expected to adhere to, it needs to be as unambiguous as possible. I really don't think that's asking a whole lot.

Yup, it is. I didn't find out about Rosetta Code until over halfway through making this site, but I decided to keep working on it since Rosetta code lacks features I thought were helpful. Thought it would be nice to add voting, comments, editing, categories, etc.

Hard to compete with Rosetta's amount of code, though :)

The human brain doesn't have any problem interpreting non-flat icons, as it doesn't have any problem with real world objects. We didn't have that problem you're saying before the flat design trend. Also icons should be aesthetically pleasing. When I see a iOS 6 homescreen, I see something beautiful. Can't say the same about iOS today.

And I'm going to stop here, because people are going to downvote the hell out of me. Design can be something very divisive.

This could be an idea.

The Unscented Kalman Filter is a type of Sigma Point Kalman Filter -- I just had to look this up to be sure, but it is kind of obvious.
These aren't problems, these are things you learn in a matter of weeks/months from on-the-job experience. Why would you expect a recent graduate to have that? And why would it even matter?

If someone is smart enough to talk about data structures competently in an interview, don't you think they could learn git?

I swear people must be conducting interviews to try to feel smarter than the candidate rather than to find a person who can do a job.
My first thought on seeing this headline was: you're running your blog on CP/M???

Sigh. TLA namespace overload is the curse of our time.

(I would actually be interested in knowing if they make a go of this, because despite what I said above, the true curse of our time is advertising; anything to make it go away. I am concerned that their UI for encouraging people to pay looks rather sleazy, and would be inclined to drive me off, despite the trivial amount of money...)
Except that OS X and iOS are both Apple environments for Apple hardware, while the Pi is an independent hardware product.

So no - there is no good reason for making Win 10 essential, beyond corporate dementia.

Seriously. Why on Earth does MS seem to think there's going to be a stampede to install an OS that doesn't do anything outstandingly special, has a high cost of entry (in time and effort, if you don't want Win 10) and is already competing with a good few established contenders?

GitHub's Atom Switches from the Open Code of Conduct to the Contributor Convent
If you're using shared libraries in your program, you already have this extra indirection - at compilation/link time the compiler/linker doesn't know where in memory the shared library will be when the program is run, so every call into a library goes through the procedure linkage table (PLT), which works by looking up the 'real' function pointer in the global offset table (GOT).

So yea, populating this at runtime depending on the CPU features supported by your CPU is possible, and the linux dynamic linker does this: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/ld.so.8.html (check out the section on hardware capabilities).
Ah okay this makes sense. I didn't think about the problem as a principal/agent problem, which is how insider trading is framed. Got it. Thank you.
$200M Wouldn't be enough. They are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist for 95% of the country. Sure, there is a market for this, it's just not the size they are thinking.

I hope you could have a comprehensive write-up about how codec works.

your article, such as this http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/daala/demo1.shtml is the best codec introduction I could find online, but still I couldn't follow, say, the deblocking part.

there doesn't seem to be a book covering this area.

You can do dynamic linking at runtime so the indirections use direct immediate jump instructions.
I tried to package and run Seafile, but it was kind of complex, and under-documented. Also, the first time I got it to run on my server, it ran my Linux server into the ground (IIRC it kept the CPU so busy that I couldn't do anything through SSH -- had to reboot the server to get back in). I also got the impression the open source community isn't that active -- i.e., it's mostly maintained by the commercial backers (some Chinese company, I think).

On the other hand, Syncthing is a clear demonstration where deploying Go code is dead easy, although I really don't like Go's packaging all that much.

The one thing I still want from Syncthing is a way to have client-side encryption, e.g. have remote storage with zero knowledge of the actual data I'm storing.
Correct - by using two separate devices you can cheaply get around the issue today. This gets you a setup that I could agree to be trustworthy and privacy respecting.

The convenience of one device is a big sell though, plus I think a device with a built in cellular modem is more fairly called a "phone".
Doesn't Kali default to having you login as "root", for pretty much this exact reason?
As far as I know you can do stuff like dynamic linking the right libraries as needed, or use different code paths / function points / virtual functions for those instructions.

Linux on ARM used to have an ABI called OABI which would assume the CPU had FPU support, in case it didn't the kernel would catch the exception, perform the FPU operation in the kernel and return the result back to the program. This ended up being incredible slow however, with performance penalties for hardfpu machines as well. The new ABI (EABI) requires that the binary be built either for soft or hard float, which no longer requires the kernel to get involved.

If it wasn't so frowned upon for Electoral College electors to "change" their vote, wouldn't that enable more "third party" runs (which would be "a good thing")?

I'd actually like to see Trump or Lessig run but people are so worried about a like-minded candidate leading to their party's loss.
Interesting so as long as the data is released to everyone at the same time, it doesn't matter if some people are able to acquire that data before it reaches others. As tptacek pointed out below I didn't think about it in the principal/agent framework.

Among many other problems, not all forms of unwelcoming behavior have to do with "attacking someone based on their real-life identity". A statement like that might be a start.

And in the process, you've also managed to dismiss any and all discussions of how to positively improve a project to better address social issues, or how to fix existing problems. Congratulations, your code of conduct itself makes people unwelcome.
> A CS education is great for those who wish to pursue it as a purely academic exercise, but a person with solely a formal CS education is woefully under prepared for employment as a software engineer.

This sums up the root problem, to me. Many comp-sci programs are run with an eye towards arid, abstract wisdom, not marketable skills. That's not inherently bad, and it's true of many degree programs--no one goes into a philosophy major thinking that it'll be a good career move; they do it because they love philosophy. The problem is that the philosophy department is honest about that fact. Advisors tell bright-eyed would-be programmers that they'll just love the CS program when they should be telling them to turn around, walk out the door, and check out the technical college across town. By the time the kid discovers the lie, he's down five years and $30,000 will not much to show for it.
> In other words, if they are right we are living with the consequences of advertising for a mere $13/month, $13 dollar they still get from us anyway because it's baked into the prices of the advertised products.

I am sorry, but I can not understand what's the problem with that. I can put out my content for free, everyone, regardles of economic situation can consume it. Prices will increase accordingly, but it won't affect everyone equally. The food you need to put on your table to survive, your electricity and your water doesn't have as large a chunk in the advertising budget as the latest iPhone, Macbook or random technology product. So at the absolute worst, the people buying luxury products subsidize people who wouldn't be able to afford my content otherwise. What's so bad about that?

Another implicit assumption that is very questionable for me as a non-economist is: The overhead the advertising company gets doesn't disappear. In general money doesn't disappear. It gets spent on the employees of the ad-company, which increases spending power and is good for the economy (?). It's a bit like energy. The amount is mostly constant, it's the fact that we move it around that creates value. The absolut worst you can do with your money, is not spending it. Because it can't create value like that.

Have you thought that your own privilege might be blinding you to the plight of some people who may have problems with the things you list?

There are many white males on the lower rungs of the socioeconomic ladder that are effectively silenced in this discussion. I suspect a lot of the pushback you hear comes from them.

There are also minorities that have succeeded in the current system by working hard and being smart that are being told their experience is abnormal/non-existent.
Great link.

The most educational bit for me was the careful structuring and eventual elimination of the if/else to shake out a conditional move rather than an unpredictable branch.

Modern optimizers and CPU scheduling engines are so powerful, a lot of received wisdom on how to code for speed is outdated; manual loop unrolling, for example, is rarely very beneficial. It's nice to see that there's still some room for craftsmanship in the most critical of paths. Structuring loops for autovectorization is another useful habit to get into.
Great. Then get the CS programs to stop lying to kids who say "I want to be a programmer."
Warren or Sanders? That's a non-starter. Those two are outlandish even to this progressive.
>There's no search in these.

>The only HTTP verb that can sensibly carry anything beside "create", "destroy", and "retrieve" commands is POST.

So what you are saying is that a search or query is fundamentally different from the idea of "retrieve" provided by the GET verb?
This article has, as an analogy, a premise similar to: "Materials science graduates make rubbish bricklayers."

Computer science is not software engineering, just like materials science is not structural engineering, and neither of those is that closely related to building a bridge or a building. Most of what we call "software engineering" is actually closer to what an engineer would call a "technician" in any other practical field.

I've met many, many "computer science" graduates who are barely aware of the "science" element of what the field contains. This isn't helped at all by those of us in the field (and our academics who teach us) happily mixing up the terms "computer science", "software engineering" and "programming".

Scientists expand the range of human thought in the field by discovering new truths, such as algorithms, design patterns, and conceptual relationships. Engineers turn these truths into techniques and building blocks/frameworks, and maybe designed solutions. Technicians take the building blocks and techniques and make artefacts, hopefully using best practices.

We're suffering from the fact that our field is less than a century old, in real terms, and neither the terms for these things, nor indeed the techniques and literature, have become concrete.
I should have been more specific - I was more remarking on the period between 1911 and 1914, which saw crude prices rise; that seemed rather interesting, since I'd expect an antitrust ruling to have the opposite effect if Standard had been keeping prices high through elimination of potential competition. The effect of WWI is quite obvious, naturally.

The rest of the history, though, is quite interesting. I've added that book to my reading list. Thank you!

I could say the same thing of people who don't like the atmosphere on a given project. There are plenty of projects with plenty of different kinds of communities.

Sure, anyone is welcome, right up until the point where they make themselves unwelcome

Please answer the question as asked and in the spirit it was intended in.

One person can drive off many potential contributors

And one bad CoC that legitimizes certain kinds of bad behavior can do the same. The backlash speaks to the truth of that.

You keep linking that slideshow - not one of the claims made there are sourced or backed up. Considering one slide goes on about the importance of providing numbers, this is especially galling.

More of a general question: Is anyone aware of a FOSS project which was killed due to a lack of contributors brought on by the perceived negative atmosphere of the community?
PCs are getting caught between 2 rules:

1. If there's a Windows Update pending, install it and reboot.

2. When a Windows Update fails, rollback and reboot.

So an update was released, which triggered [1] above. Then the update fails, and so [2] is obeyed.

Upon reboot, the PC realizes an update is available, triggering [1] above. Then the update fails, and so [2] is obeyed. And so on and so forth.

Oh good. So, to be clear, this proposed Amendment would legalize literally any burden on speech so long as the speech was not literally one person speaking alone using entirely their own money?

Like, under this Amendment, Congress passed a law saying "specifically the Democratic National Committee does not get to engage in any speech of any kind -- it may send no correspondence, buy no advertising, write no editorials," that'd be okay because the DNC is a non-natural person and as such has no rights under the First Amendment.

The extent to which people on the left have let the very words "corporate personhood," utterly divorced from any actual implications thereof, becomes a bugaboo that drives them to silly positions is really amazing.
> Assuming there are deflationary forces countering the inflationary force of printing, nothing changes beyond maintenance of status quo.

In the net, yes, but another way of looking at this is as a wealth transfer inside each country.

In the net, the pies remain the same size, but each individual slice is worth less and less.

The result is that as each government is playing the devaluation game to keep up, the organizations with early access to the newly printed trillions in respective currencies increase their relative percentage of the pie.

It's the status quo at the inter-country level, but it's a huge wealth transfer to the politically and financially connected at the local level.

It's based on --best for VP9 1.4.0 and placebo for x264. Generally improvement tends to be from 30-50%, based on the quality target and content (the lower the bitrate, the greater the improvement). I have objective metrics which test this at http://arewecompressedyet.com/.

If you're more of a visual person, you can take a look at some images here, compressed to 60KB: https://people.xiph.org/~tdaede/pcs2015_vp9_vs_x264/0.25/

Certainly libvpx still has a lot of optimization and tuning work left to do. But there's only so much x264 can do with a 15 year old bitstream format.

Could twitter and random blogs have stopped Vietnam and Nixon too, if they had existed back then?

And if there is something unique to journalists that make them more proficient at stopping presidents and wars, why couldn't they stop the Iraq war?

Because the powers that be coopted that power. I read the "journalists" in the early 21st century and it was depressing.

Then again, the independent bloggers and twitters have also been rendered ineffective and powerless. Nothing much came from Occupy and the Arab Spring, fur example.

It's a hot topic, yes, but an important one. We are in an age where policy is decided by a scientifically illiterate public, with potentially devastating consequences for people outside the developed world. That needs to be confronted head on, not shied away from.

Good job! But might I suggest finding an editor, or perhaps even a co-writer to help clean-up syntax and grammar.
If somebody's paying a consultant hundreds of dollars an hour to run a static analysis tool and forward the output, without applying a developer's skills in between, they've been defrauded. Static analyzers are coding tools, much like compilers. Their input is code. Their output is pointers to code. True adversarial analysis, or any other endeavor involving static analysis, requires something extremely close to a coder's skill set. I guess if I believed otherwise then I might be tempted to take Davidson's side too, but that's not the case.
If that were true, I'd be proud to work there. Food innovation is of critical importance for mankind, in the same realm as space exploration or improved information accessibility.

No, generally encoding is done in software. It's just because VP9 is a much more complex format with many more different coding possibilities to search. It also hasn't been around as long as x264 to be hyper-optimized.
