Nobody should be using Photoshop nowadays to design a website. A competent web designer knows about html and css and - most importantly - has a good understanding for how a website behaves, especially regarding responsiveness and animations.

It is a good reason to leave the room / team / project when "design a website" means "open photoshop".
I sometimes do that for as a kind of backup, when there is a chance that something disastrous could happen but that requires that I use a version control system (which is pointless for text documents with less then 2000 Words IMO) or that I remember doing that. Because once I add files to the index, i might as well create a commit and squash it later.
Weeeeell, if somebody turned of the cooling of a warehouse full of shrimp, that would be kind of funny (except for the poor people who live downwind and have to cope with the smell...).

If somebody turned off the backup power supply of a hospital, that would be slightly less funny.

(Full disclosure: I am a native German speaker, so the concept of Schadenfreude is quite familiar... even though I try to refrain from enjoying others' misfortunes, unless they were really, really asking for it, for example by hooking up their shrimp warehouse's climate system to the Internet without even password protection...)
Whatever is the most performant set of predictive instruments should be used as a factor for acceptance for colleges seeking to optimize on whatever they feel are the "best" students.

College essays? Sure, if the instrument is performant. SAT II's? Sure, if the instrument is performant. Grades? Sure, if the instrument is performant. Or extra-curriculars, or whatever.

It sounds like they are trying to do exactly what you suggest:

We’ll ask you to solve some coding questions in a language and text editor of your choice. Feel free to bring your own laptop, or we’ll be happy to provide one. Notably, we ask candidates not to compile or run their code during this exercise, and not to refer to online resources. Our goal is not to simulate day-to-day software development — where we read docs and write lots of tests! — but rather to see how you reason about your code and input cases. For that same reason, we won’t ding you for superficial syntax errors or misremembered function names. After leaving you to work through the questions on your own, we’ll sit down together and talk through your solutions (including any ideas you didn’t have time to commit to code).

In any case, all I'm disputing is the idea that formal reasoning about algorithms (without stressing function names and compilation) is a useless skill. We have tools that make it unnecessary for many entry level devs, but that doesn't mean everyone can ignore it.
"sort" also has a specific meaning in type theory - it's a class of kinds.

Also the type-theoretic meaning of "kind" is accurate here, no? Owned vs slice really are two different kinds - it's just that Rust can't represent kindedness in general (it has specialized support for tracking ownedness, but you can't reuse that system to track other properties).
I wonder if this is bad news for Europe in the long run. America has had an integrated economy for a long time, and so the oligopoly has had time to form.

Might we see the same thing after 50 more years of the EU?

My guess is that it depends on how far the political unification goes.
"Be publicly available" you mean available to everybody on earth even though they have not funded it ?
I would like it to say something like "Either the trait `core::fmt::Debug` is not implemented for the type `T`, or it is implemented but the compiler does not know about it in this context."

Not sure if that is the language I would use, but that is what I want it to say. Suggesting that I might be able to solve the problem by providing more information to the compiler would help me realise how I could solve the problem.

I've had similar problems when developing Rust code, and I wonder whether they would be happy to accept changes to their error messages?

My biggest difficulties trying to understand Rust error messages were either with lifetimes or errors emanating from within macros (it is very hard to see what is failing when you have never seen the code itself.)
Vr will founder, but i think it will be due to augmented reality stepping into its shoes and taking over before vr really got a chance. AR can do everything vr can, and more.

Perhaps, but it is clearly more complicated than that. PTSD appears to be related to changes in the amygdala that make anxiety reactions more bursty and intense than they would otherwise be. What exactly triggers the reaction is not the problem as much as what happens next within the brain and thus the mind.

Well I remembered a keynote on android back in the early days talking about the amount of Java developers, that they could easily start development or something like that.

I think because iPhone SDK was objective-C and it wasn't widely used. So Google might've thought they would've had an edge there
Don't worry. The Chinese probably have it 12 months before it's even made publicly available.
Foundation 6.1 was worse than Bootstrap 4 Alpha. They are still cleaning up and completely changing things with 6.2 totally breaking your setup. Boostrap alpha is more stable than Foundation "stable".
Wait for the higher ed crash. All things that can't go on forever, eventually stop. At that point the ACT/SAT problem will automatically solve itself.
If you think about the grid-systems of those CSS frameworks, you're probably right.

But Bootstrap has a nice "out-of-the-box" experience. I know much about usability engineering and user experience, but not so much about graphic design. And bootstrap fills this hole for me. Getting something out fast that doesn't look like 1999
What do you propose are the factors behind test-taking ability between-subjects? I would propose that a major contributor is g, or general mental ability, and I propose it is for that reason that the SAT II's have a non-trivial relationship to college performance, more than 4 years of high school grades.
Most likely yes.

Even numbering is the stable branch while odd numbering is the development branch.

Since this is a breaking change and not a bug or security fix it's unlikely to go into the stable branch.

(Many of the western codepages are either subsets of UTF-8, or not actually UTF-8 but can roundtrip through UTF-8 so you don't actually notice the difference as long as the program is just using the filename as an opaque "handle" and not actually manipulating it. In my case my filesystem is Shift-JIS for compatibility with some old Japanese programs, and that doesn't roundtrip cleanly through unicode)

>on what basis is "how well they will do at college" the right metric use for selecting who to accept?

Well, the underlying basis is the finite number of seats for students. If you have a limited number of slots, you must reject some applicants. Therefore, the question flipped around is, "what criteria to use to reject applicants?"

That leads into what I guess your usage of "basis" is actually about: the philosophy of selecting on the "doing well" instead of some other criteria such as... "economic disadvantages?"... or "local student over out-of-state or foreign student?"..."athletic abilities?", etc. You'd have to expand on what alternatives you had in mind.

I think the "doing well" criteria can be defended by filling up the limited seats with students who will get the most out of college. For example, a student taking "Physics I" needs to know what derivatives are (Calculus). Having some slots used up by students that should have been in remedial math courses (Algebra) instead of flunking out of PHYICS1 is unfair to the potential students who already have the baseline math skills required for solving physics equations. Multiply that example across the entire curriculum required for a degree and the "doing well" criteria seems justified. You want to reject potential students who are not able to succeed at college-level course work. Maybe tests like SAT are bad/flawed but so far, they appear to be the "least bad" tool to predict which students will do well in college.

One can create institutions that don't care about the assessment of "doing well" as an entrance criteria as long as the students pay the fees. That signal is provided by many colleges[1] that don't require SAT/ACT scores. However, the prestige and respect of those institutions don't match the ones that do. That negative perception in the marketplace is not uncorrelated to their acceptance criteria. (E.g. University of Phoenix.)

I have to say, we should all be super grateful for the OSS community. There's so much free non-publicly funded continuously supported OSS available within a click of a button. I am a data scientist, and everyday I am amazed how powerful the anaconda distribution (and its over 150 included packages) is. Is there any industry on Earth that has anything like OSS?
Sometimes I'll hit save to confirm that the tests I expect to fail are doing so.

Sometimes I'll wait until I've finished changing all those function signatures until I hit save.
Of course they would and that is reason why I don't agree with the statement. Even AMD had profile for Valve games that improved performance on their blob and Nvidia had several different profiles some of which come from Windows drivers: to be exact one for id Software games that was always using OpenGL on Windows.

Of course there is open source drivers that will likely never support game-specific optimizations since for them codebase quality and overall performance is more important than few tricks that make specific games faster.

> If a situation is causing no problems outside of depression/anxiety, and you took away the depression/anxiety mechanism, there would be nothing wrong with it.

The problem is that the connection between depression/anxiety and interpersonal relationships has been programmed into our systems by evolution. So the question remains if it is wise to alter our biochemistry to suppress mental illness.
Likely.

The benefits of making access to knowledge available openly far outweigh the benefits of keeping that knowledge behind a ridiculous pay wall that only benefits corporations who act as gate keepers to knowledge.

I don't dispute that. And they aren't necessarily small groups in aggregate - e.g., auto dealers are a large collection of small businesses.

I.e. that's a large number of small political donors in your state (highly motivated to donate to your opponents) vs one big corp in another state, plus of course rationally ignorant consumer/voters.

The Syrian civil war is a proxy conflict between the (Sunni) Gulf States and (Shia) Iranians with the Russians alongside the latter. It takes the form of members of ISIS killing Quds Force commanders, and it ignited without much help from the West. Which side would you pick?

You forgot the weird Turkey vs the Kurds almost war
thing. And the weirder thing of the Israelis almost protecting ISIS forces from Assard/Hezbollah. Or the bizarre Iraqi Mosal campaign where Iraqi backed Iranian militias almost had (or sometimes did have?) US Airforce backing.

Anything is possible in this war.
I've often thought of C++'s templates (when used in the "straightforward" manner, anyway) as more of compile-time duck typing than a real generic type system. Even moving from C++ to Java took a while to get used to.
Totally. When Foundation launched it was broken. Some JS components were unfinished and it didn't work as expected for a "stable" version.
Although I find "Thing Explainer" funny, the idea that the problem with English is just that it has a lot of words is misguided. In the 1930s when artificial languages were big there was one called "Basic English" that was based on the top 800 English words. The problem is that even with a small vocabulary you can get very complicated sentences and idioms, and those are more confusing to language learners than just words (which after all, can be looked up or figured out from context).
>it's just repeating the old ideas that depression and anxiety are the same as temporary sadness

His main argument seems to be that depression is a symptom of mucked up relationships. Googling "depression symptom relationships" his is the only article arguing that in the first 40 results. So it seems at least somewhat original.
Usually my unit tests are tightly coupled to the module they're testing, but the modules themselves are loosely coupled from the rest of the system.

In most cases I want to preserve existing behaviour, so I don't want any existing tests to fail.

I'll add tests for the new behaviour in the relevant modules, add code to make them pass, and then if necessary update the glue code / integration tests which cross the boundary.

Pretty much by definition, a refactor of code should not change its behaviour. My tests usually assert on behaviour observed at the boundaries of modules, so they should still pass during refactorings.
Yeah, why not?

Isn't it based on tons of other research from third countries, from Indian mathematics to Newton and Leibniz that you haven't funded either?

There's better education if you can afford it. There are schools where doctorates lecture the promising young on cryptography. There are schools with great faculty:student ratios. And great psychological resources.

Owing to how few of such environments society can sustainably create, I think it would be implausible to suggest that all children warrant access to such limited resources. At the very least, it would call for a rethinking of what % of our employable society should be employed as teachers, and how and where our most elite teachers ought be allocated.
I don't find this to be the case. There are a ton of conventions in Bootstrap, an obvious one being its variables, that are very useful when working in a team, and (in our experience) with outside contractors. I couldn't imagine giving up Bootstrap simply 'because flexbox'.

Also flexbox support in IE is still terrible, so for those of us building sites for the open-web it's a non-starter for things where a 'just doesn't work' fallback is unacceptable, such as the main site structure and alignment of core elements.

Currently I only find flexbox useful for things like vertical centering, where it's not the end of the world if the element doesn't center in IE.
Some of you who are actively working on this will probably smile at my naïveté, but I'll take a wild shot at an example anyway:

See people's music listening trends on Spotify (or torrents or whatever).
Examine the lyrics (or lack of lyrics) of the songs.

I would guess that an AI could find patterns and relationships between what songs people listen to and their emotional or mental heath (plus many other indicators).

Are people falling in love or are they breaking up, are they having more or less sex ?
Are people using more drugs, partying or drinking more ?

Now you have some macroeconomic indicators - vectors - which affect a wide range of industries - from contraceptives to baby cribs to concert tickets.

Again, a wild guess, but I think AI could be applied to this kind of fuzzy analyses and probably be quite effective at predicting economic trends.
I'm using this and its pretty great.

Personally, I think civil disobedience is more effective at changing the status quo than e-mail campaigns, although they can help to increase awareness. What I would really like to see is a big institution / university take a stand and build something like Scihub to provide free and unlimited access to all of their own papers, even those that are stuck behind a paywall for "historic" reasons. It would be interesting to see if the publishing industry would dare to sue them in that case, as this could easily tip the public opinion against them.

In the end, I think the publishers know perfectly well that their business models have been made obsolete by the Internet long ago and that their value proposition is getting smaller and smaller, so they just want to squeeze the last remaining profits from their historically earned privileged position.

Interesting. I'd read that code as "For all T, if we have a Buffer<T>, print out the Vec<T>'s elements" and it makes sense that this doesn't work. It isn't that the compiler doesn't know about it, but that T is not constrained within the form to something printable and consequently you can't print it. It would seem more confusing if it had indeed worked, since that would mean (in a semantic sense) that T is auto-constrained to the types that are actually used as T, so you can't reason about the code having the T on its own but only within the context of the larger form.

Not arguing or anything about what error messages are valid. I just found your perspective about the "compiler not knowing" interesting and felt like sharing this.

I can understand if you've been mistreated by people who work in health. I don't see how the author is to blame or how you have come to feel he would treat you the same way. That's a mistake people commonly make, putting labels on people. All of our brains try to find patterns, so it's normal, but individual people are incredibly unique, and much more so than snowflakes. We may not all be good but we are all equally deserving of each other's respect.
