Unfortunately, it's a random mapping, not necessarily a random permutation. An ideal block cipher would be modeled as a random permutation. Though, in this particular case the domain and range are the same, so unless I'm missing something, the expected number of fixed points comes out to 1 by the same reasoning.

> Mostly because in some countries it's not easy to tell when a speed limit ends and in my experience GPS maps are not always 100% accurate. Basically in most of EU the speed limit begins with a sign and ends at a nearest intersection, without any visible sign indicating so. So the car would need to recognize what is an intersection and what isn't - which is difficult even for human drivers, sometimes you have a paved road going off the main road to someone's house, but it's not an intersection so it doesn't cancel the speed limit. Again, it could be solved by having very very detailed maps, but then it doesn't help with roadworks which set up temporary speed limits.

My car today already tells me the speed limit. It's based on detailed maps and works great. There are many challenges to self driving cars, knowing the speed limit isn't a huge one. If anything autonomous cars are the opposite of speed demons.

The dependency on Flash will shape the market segment that is likely to participate. Overall, the linear nature of video means more substantial time commitments than a text based format: skimming video is hard, amateur webcam video of arguments is a use case for skimming, and people who produce high quality video probably have other options.

I think you are rather downplaying Apple's capabilities here.

Apple is the only entity who can reliably alter the firmware to remove the forensics-thwarting restrictions, due to updates requiring a chain of trust all the way up to Apple's root certificate.

The physical device may not be owned by Apple, but the firmware installed upon it certainly is, both legally (due to copyright law) and cryptographically.

Disclaimer: Not a white male.

> It isnt in any way comparable, discrimination against white males mostly hurts their(our) feelings, discrimination against other demographics has them paid less

Suppose the highest paying job in my profession pays $65k/year. If you hire someone who is not a white male (me, for instance) for that job over a white male who is objectively better at it, how on earth is this not causing them to be paid less?

They just lost the top job (worth $65k) on account of their race, and will have to accept lower paying jobs in the future. They are absolutely being discriminated against and paid less.
What does everybody think about the game so far?
Somewhat understandable for a firm in rough waters, but it does raise the issue of scope. What if you go out to lunch and drink and come back? Is that allowed, or is that something you do on your own time and outside? I suspect there are gray areas if you try to parse the rules too carefully. I think common sense prevails, such as not getting hammered while you work.
I agree, but quite different from the technology actually being in the hands of three letter agencies.

I agree with your point but this statement.

A fairly large contingent of the 'promoting diversity' movement do not believe this. They quite literally believe skills and qualifications are secondary to race and gender considerations in the hiring process.

Minimum wage used to be adjusted for inflation. That hasn't happened in decades. Its past time.

And its a myth that prices go up according to minimum wage. In truth its a very weak influence on inflation. Prices will probably not change much at all. Our entire economy does not depend on what we pay the lowest earners.
I wouldn't say they are eschewed.

Haskell programmers do seem to prefer typeclasses that come equipped with some set of meaningful "laws" that help to reject "unreasonable" instances.

And even without that, they are very useful for data type conversions and the like.
Not considering white males in a field that's already dominated by women, and excusing it because it "promotes diversity" ironically sounds like a hypocritical monoculture.

If you're a hospital worker, then you deal with the individual in the story exactly as the other hospital workers did before the police arrived, as they always do, and nobody gets killed.

If you give people guns, empower them to use them, and protect them from the legal ramifications, then stories like this are the obvious outcome.

Seems like a fairly straightforward answer to that question.
My IP changes very rarely, but my off-site backup server is at my mum's house 1000km away. Her IP changes frequently.

In both places I installed ddclient on Debian, which works with many DDNS providers. I've not had any problems, and I've been using it for about 12 years through various DDNS providers. I also have a hostname for the private LAN address, which is useful.

/etc/ddclient.conf:

pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid

use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/, web-skip='IP Address: '

Highly abstract and general typeclasses for standard mathematical and algebraic concepts are extremely useful and not eschewed. With them you can do genuinely generic programming in a syntactically convenient way. Examples include: Functor, Applicative, Monad, Num, Floating, Integral, MonadState, MonadReader, Profunctor, Contravariant, ...

Typeclasses which are ad hoc, specific, and typically defined on a per project basis, are much more debatable. If you have the concept of "rendering to the screen" and you have typeclass Renderable with a render method then this is really no better than just writing separate functions for each instance of the Renderable. This isn't genuinely generic programming, it's just symbol overloading.
Just hopeful, I'm afraid. It's easy to assume from the distance of many miles and a computer screen that every single situation can be addressed safely and easily by a soft word or three.

Abstractly, that may be true, if you free yourself of certain constraints imposed by reality. For one, you have to assume that every single person in every single situation is open to negotiation. Second, you have to assume that nuanced and complex communication of the sort that enables negotiation is readily possible. Third, you have to assume that entering into negotiation will remove any threat the subject may pose to other people nearby. Fourth, you have to assume that trained negotiators arrive sufficiently fast for their magic stop-all-threats-to-everyone powers to engage in time.

In reality, some or all of these can fail. I read about an incident in my city in the past few months where a mentally ill man was reported to police as wandering the streets, carrying a chain. The police arrived. An officer approached the man, attempting to speak with him. She wanted to find out if anything was wrong and see if there was a problem that needed addressing. He proceeded to beat her with the aforementioned chain. If memory serves, the situation was resolved when the armed, actively violent, mentally ill man was shot dead.

And this is a scenario where presumably everyone speaks English! Where in there was she supposed to negotiate with him to solve all the problems at hand? What non-violent methods do you expect to bring a rapid halt to someone actively beating a police officer with a weapon that will be remotely as fast as lethal force? What happens if you have no shared languages, someone deep in the grips of hallucinations, and actively shooting people nearby? Do you expect negotiating police to defuse that problem by negotiating with someone incapable of recognizing them as people who want to negotiate?

If I worked at Yelp I might be questioning why we spend so much money on frivolous things like coconut flavored water vs. providing our customer support co-workers with a better wage.

This applies to tech companies more widely. Would you take less snacks, less free beer, less hiring gimmick benefits to increase the wages of those making the least at your company?
I cant provide an answer to your specific question, however you should note when moving from any non-management position into a management position many people lack the skills needed to adequately perform their job. Not everyone is naturally talented at managing others, progressing through the workload, keeping up morale, motivating subordinates etc. I think this is a big failure point for people transitioning into these types of careers. Your stance on what project managers do stood out to me. At the end of the day many management positions require exactly that from you.

"Skills and qualifications" are often vague and amorphous. Look at tech. We are very bad at detecting who is good and who is not. You can easily weed out completely unqualified candidates and nobody is suggesting you hire them, but hiring isn't a deterministic procedure that selects the candidate with the highest 'qualifications' whatever that even means (would you like an algorithm that blindly selects the highest GPA in CS at the most prestigious school every time?)

The argument that people actually make which is not your ridiculous straw man is that if two candidates seem roughly equally competent (which happens almost every single time hiring occurs), and one is from an underrepresented group, and your workforce lacks in diversity, you should select the one from the underrepresented group.

As it turns out very often "skills and qualifications" is often used as a code word much like "culture fit" for "the two candidates are functionally indistinguishable, but candidate A just 'seems' smarter, you know? Because, well, white men are smarter, you know?"
I think this is really dangerous. It adds magic to bash scripts, which then makes them really difficult for new users to read and debug. If you like concepts from Java and JavaScript, why not just write shell scripts using a different language altogether? What's the benefit of using bash at all?

This kind of thing is done in other languages all the time, but shell scripts are often doing things that are very important not to screw up.

Seriously! I grew up in an actual diverse place. My high school was 98% Hispanic. None of use realized we were systemically oppressed though. Even "darker skinned" Hispanics.

For example, it wasn't until I left my state
for college that I realized there was actually a significant difference between white and Hispanics to some people.. for some reason.

It was bad enough that the same people would ask "ok yeah, but come on what's the difference between Mexican culture and Cuban culture -- the food is the same". These same people were self-proclaimed "liberals". They just grew up in a small liberal all-white town their whole lives.

Growing up, I literally thought my friends and I were all white, because nobody told us we were something else. What I mean to say is, my fellow Cuban friends, my Colombian friends, my Veneuelan, and Puerto Rican friends etc... didn't think we were in a different category than say Italian people, Irish people, or Polish people.

This shit is just weird. It was actually shitty to find out I'm technically part of some arbitrary category that entitles activists to treat me like a handicapped puppy. I'd rather people not consider it at all. It's patronizing because you're suggesting I'm inherently less capable on my own.

I'm not saying there aren't issues that can be solved by affirmative action. I'm saying when you purposefully exclude white males and I can technically still apply for your job, I can't help but feel like you're treating me like an inferior being that needs extra help. You're not letting me compete with a certain class of people because you think they're inherently more capable than I am.

The situation in the article isn't affirmative action anyways, it is exclusionary discrimination that is emotionally harmful to the people who apply too. Affirmative action is about considering diversity when you have a diversity problem, it's not supposed to be a very strong factor.

Ugh. I wish they would just stop asking me about my "race". It's a totally futile effort to get me to codify some sort of needy status. Besides, if you do require it, I'm going to check off White, Hispanic, and Other: High Elf -- just to fuck with you anyways.
