Some comments on this article: first of all it's not about the amount of lines of code that attribute to the complexity of the code, but the amount of things that actually happen and can fail in your code that can make it fragile. A godegolfed line of code is not more reliable than everything neatly expanded and tabbed in lines.

Frequently in C# LINQ-queries turn out to be very long indiscernible chains of things happening that aren't completely obvious in what they're doing. Same goes for filter / map / forEach. I use them a lot but I put them often in several variables ('let' in this case of course) just to have the "one thing happening in one line" kind of code that's so much nicer to the eyes.

I never benchmarked it, but I never had to. I assume modern compilers that see a constant that is only being used once understand that it comes down to the same as chaining directly.

The best takeaway from this story is that filter / map / etcetera better show the intent of the code. That's why I love the `guard` statement so much. It doesn't do anything I couldn't do before but it simply tells the other programmer "unless this passes nothing else below this should happen".
“Rocket Map” is a useful browser extension available for Chrome. The idea behind it is simple - help to read articles with geographical titles by placing those objects on map without leaving the page.

In the most of news there are mentions of city names and countries. It is good if you have in mind whole world map and can easily imagine distances and relative positions of mentioned objects. Most people can’t do this, we too.

There are solutions similar to our extension. Our advantage is that we allow user to work with the article on the page and to aggregate geographical objects on one map from this article. You will see the story from different angle, on the map.

Install the extension and play with it. Hope you will like it!
There seem to be a few more glitches. If the box the ball is trapped in gets too small it sometimes passes a box boundary. (I am using chrome.)

> What some people do not realise is that men wouldn't do what they do with accumulating status and wealth, if women didn't reward them with sex for it.

That's ridiculous. It's not even true. It fails to be true in many ways: There are plenty of men who accumulate status and wealth even though they'll be having exactly the same amount of sex. There are lots of women who accumulate status and wealth, and women definitely aren't rewarding them with sex. You can in fact find plenty of people pursuing status and wealth who do so at a level where it reduces the amount of sex they get. And equally there are people of both genders who get lots of sex without much in the way of status or wealth.

But worse, it's morally vacuous to the point of being creepy. It's like saying mafia hit-men are perfectly fine people because they are just responding to commercial incentives. Nope! People are responsible for the effects of their actions. Sometimes bad actions are rewarding, which is why we have morality in the first place. If bad actions were never rewarding, they wouldn't be a problem. You can't just shrug and blame "the system" for the shitty things you do. If you do shitty things, you are the one doing them and you are to blame.

(Something I mis-posted elsewhere, in different wording) :

The mechanism described by the article is quite simple: for women as a group, achieving equal or better education/career while at the same time insisting on only considering a spouse of equal or better education/career just isn't sustainable. The failure mode turns out to include easy sex for a few lucky guys. Not exactly what feminism had in mind.

What the article completely ignores: it also means even less females for males of the low education/career range, who were already hard pressed by "marrying up" alone. This kind of gender imbalance is often comes with violence and is therefore a much bigger problem than some prudish outcry over sinful tinder.

Hopes should go towards self-correction in the shape of considerable erosion of the "marrying down" taboo. Once that happens, the observed disbalance will have been just a temporary fluctuation on the road to greater equality.

It doesn't amaze me, the FDA and organisations like it are brilliant (without them the world would be a worse place) but they do put a retard on a lot of the cool stuff by demanding exhaustive testing (which in fairness I can't disagree with, medical stuff isn't a website where you can just patch it later - people will die).

It's not a perfect system though as substandard stuff does get through and the barriers to effective entry are so high that only the big well funded companies can afford access - not really sure what you can do about that.

Even in your made up thought experiment that accounts for << 1% of all aggressive driving miles I still think this is the correct approach to take. Speeding to the hospital is only superficially different than speeding and weaving through traffic on your morning commute. The biggest difference is probably that you are flustered, and less likely to make good decisions while in route. The worst accident I have ever seen was someone rushing to the hospital [1]. The threat to those around you, and the chances of an accident slowing you down outweigh the small potential time saved. It would be far better for you to learn first aid and respond appropriately than for you to drive aggressively to the hospital.

[1] So there I was[2] driving through Iraq when an Iraqi army convoy approached rapidly from behind us. While swerving past my trucks, that had pulled over for them to pass, one of the vehicles left the road and rolled over multiple times. 2 people died in that accident, I applied tourniquets to 2 additional people who lost limbs, and no, they didn't get the gunshot victim to the hospital any quicker that way.

[2] Fun fact. Do you know the difference between a fairy-tale and a war story? War stories start with "So there I was".

The only thing that has ever worked for me is to get on the destination's clock as soon as possible.

The problem as I see it are airline crews that insist, no wait they demand, that the cabin stay dark through the entire overnight flight. That denies your body the visual response of sunrise and then the crew abruptly turns on all the lights full-blast 60 minutes before landing, where it's now nearly noon at the destination.

That insistance that you try to cram in a solid 8 hours sleep is what messes people up. When going east, stay up as long as you can, take a shower then a nap in the mid-afternoon, then stay up as late as you can make it that evening without overdoing caffeine or drugs. I'm 80% normal the next day and 100% fine after that. One day per timezone to acclimate? That's insane if people really are hit that hard.
Your choice of words suggests that you might be a little confused about what "LED" means, and clearing up that confusion might be necessary for you to achieve monitor happiness.

"LED" refers to the type of backlight used in the monitor. Before 2006 or so, no monitors that I know of used LED backlights. Instead, flat-panel monitors (and displays in laptops) used a type of backlight called CCFL (fluorescent).

I humbly suggest that what you find objectionable is the light produced by LED backlights. I don't like them much either.

Fluorescent lighting technology has a bad rep because fluorescent room lighting used in schools and offices used to flicker, but the fluorescent lamps used in monitors and in laptop computers do not flicker (unless they're near the end of their life, and if that is the case, replacement lamps can be bought for about $15).

The last time I looked, a couple of years ago, monitors with CCFL backlights were still being made because they could produce a wider range or "gamut" of colors than LED backlights could, but those monitors were on the expensive side.

I bought 2 ten-year-old 20-inch monitors for $25 each, and am happy with them. Again, all ten-year-old flat-panel monitors will have CCFL backlights.

I can use devices with LED backlights, and indeed I have no reasonable choice when I want to use a tablet (because all tablets made in the last 5 years or longer have LED backlights) but I distinctly prefer my ten-year-old monitors.

Extended use of a device with an LED backlight seems to leave me more tense than the same duration of use of one my CCFL-backlit monitors.
I guess I do it the brute force way. When I get to my destination I force myself to stay up until bed time in that time zone, and then get up after eight hours. I'm out of sorts for a day and that's it.

Over the past few years there's been a tendency towards a more functional style of programming, like what's demonstrated in this blog post. I think there are a lot of benefits to this, but the functional style doesn't hold a monopoly on good code.

One of the advantages of the "slightly better", more imperative, method of finding a 3D piece under the mouse over the "beautiful", more functional, one is that it is extremely clear what the code is doing, while the functional case needs some thought to understand; even for someone who knows what map, filter, etc. do!

This isn't to say that functional is bad and imperative is good, or really to choose a style at all. But sometimes the cleanest idea mathematically isn't the best way to write code.
I don't think I'm making any argument against anything. There is a lot of good, interesting or valuable stuff that was created or originated at 4chan -- half of the internet culture for one thing, moot being chosen the TIME most influential person of 2009 another. Nevertheless, 4chan/b/ was always and still is a cesspool.

I am not interested in discussing whether it's worth it to keep a place like this up, and if so, what should be the boundaries. I just wonder how exactly the climate around 4chan and moot has changed throughout the years, during which 4chan didn't change meaningfully.

Government will become the thing which puts work to tender and decides who gets the contract.

Every service will become privatised.

Government will converge on what it does best, core business, collaborative decision making between representatives from diverse groups.

Contrary to popular belief it is not government inertia which slows this transition, it is public expectation. Society is not yet ready.

Services, as others say, require physical presence. Core Gov can become 100% digital and will, since gov is the nervous ( and circulatory ) system, which causes to function the diverse systems required for society's function.

Watch Zuckerberg make a play for government through FB. Gov is the network. It is already information. All that's missing is the social technology to trust that gov works like this to make it happen.

Northern Europe / Korea will go first.
Still i prefer a place like 4chan where there is true freedom of speech and not a place like reddit ruled by facistic mods.

> Huge amount of pressure from outside to censor "the cesspool"? He, himself, has become a attack target. Something goes wrong -> "need" to censor 4chan arises -> people exert pressure on Moot. Repeat and repeat.

According to the article, it wasn't so much attacks from outside to remove things that wore him down, as it was attacks from 4channers angry at removals.

I wonder how much the isolation and financial burden of modern American life plays into this. The usual narrative is that in the past, not only were a couple's parents involved in raising the kids, the couple also had a much stronger involvement in the community, so members were able to help each other out. But in the quest for home ownership and rampant consumerism, we've lost that sense of community, and raising children has become a burden since we're all living to work.

In the Scandinavian languages, I think the closest we get to "what even is X?" is intonation combined with interjecting nå/nu for ekstra emphasis.

E.g in Norwegian "Hva er nå X?" (possibly tacking on a "for noe" at the end) instead of just "hva er X?" conveys extra emphasis quite well. Would "vad er nu X?" do the same in Swedish, or does that only work in Norwegian?

The entire phenomenon is basically intentionally interjecting or removing words to create a jarring effect that creates extra emphasis, so looking for a translation boils down to figuring out words that add emphasis if you add or remove them rather than looking for an exact translation of the individual words.

It seems to very much be a strong social demarcator that still seems to be tied quite strongly to online communities with a relatively young demographics (e.g. various sub-reddits are full of these)

Linux has, in fact, supported a configuration option CONFIG_FIREWIRE_OHCI_REMOTE_DMA (default n) since 2.6.26 released 13 July 2008. [0][1] In kernel 3.14, this was changed into a module parameter (default n). [2] I did not further investigate the status of firewire modules before then.

Go check out Know Your Meme and just browse around a bit. A vast, vast, vast majority of content that started exploding across the internet back when we were all young and innocent either originated on 4chan or was quickly picked up and shared on 4chan.

I'm not saying that 4chan is the be all end all- Something Awful can probably be said to be even more influential as a whole- but I think 4chan was the very first example of the modern anonymous internet watering hole that spawned international media attention and completely changed how information was disseminated across the world.

Speaking of implicit dependencies, here are a few: env, path, any executable file either in the current directory or in the search path. env = functions and aliases, and can be modified by any shell script. The path is an implicit dependency in the sense any chmod +x files in any of these directories can affect the shell. Which means the shell is also dependent on the file system itself.
