What's your point ? Are you saying they are morally right to avoid taxes or shifting the blame to the shareholders ? (I seem to recall Google avoided paying taxes in the UK on benefits made in the UK by transferring the money elsewhere).
I think it's okay to be disgusted by the outcomes of homelessness -- that's a natural reaction, and I imagine it takes a lot of empathy for those who work with the homeless to be able to see past it, to the people they're trying to help.

But I don't think it's okay to make halfway thought through, vaguely libertarian, unhelpful statements that fail to engage with the actual problem, then act like you've delivered some brilliant nugget of wisdom.

Look, this is a hard problem (something the article sort of glosses over). Smart, caring, good people work hard on this, and have for a long time. It's maybe not amenable to easy answers. And you know what? It's part of San Francisco. So you can either engage with the reality, acknowledge it's complex and difficult, or you can maybe defer to those who have done the reading.

Option three, I think, is moving to a lower-taxed area with fewer homeless people. Based on your comment, I vote for option 3.
How long can one survive without food
https://xkcd.com/221/
This is somewhere between anecdotal and statistical evidence, but I wrote a post about technology vs. startup quality a few years ago: http://codingvc.com/which-technologies-do-startups-use-an-ex...

The gist of the post was to correlate technologies listed on companies' AngelList profiles with those companies' Signal scores. Signal scores are a bit of a black box, but I was told by an AngelList employee that they're roughly like PageRank over the graph of startups, founders, and investors. That is, a startup's Signal score will be higher if the people affiliated with that startup have high Signal scores.

There were some correlations between higher Signal scores and lower usage of PHP, higher usage of languages like Go and Scala, etc. That supports PG's point, but probably lacks the statistical rigor that you'd want.
There was a tool I used years ago that would build rpm's from makefile-based build files. Basically, you would do './configure && make && [app name] make install' and it would then run a dummy 'make install', monitor syscalls that did copying etc. and make an rpm from that. That was easy enough to make packages from tarballs. Anything more complicated (like, having to actually know the package file formats) - forget it.

Anyone know the name of this tool? It was unmaintained for a long time already when I stopped using Linux, and that was 10 years ago.
Food still has to be produced. Energy still has to be produced. All that stuff has to be paid for somehow or the producers stop producing for the freeloaders.

The question is: what happens when most or all of the food and energy is being produced not by human labor, but by fully-automated processes? Why would, say, a farming robot care whether someone is "freeloading" off its labor?

What you think of as a mental hurdle I see as a way of discerning what is mine from what is yours. Show me a developed nation where a person actually doesn't have any personal property.

The idea of a post-scarcity society is not incompatible with the idea of personal property. It is incompatible with continuing to believe that basic necessities such as food, shelter, water, medicine, and possibly other things should be apportioned on a "did you earn it" basis, because that notion dates to a time when it truly was necessary for each person to put in continual effort to ensure enough of those things were produced. These things are no longer super-scarce and no longer require anywhere near the effort to produce that they used to; society should adjust in response to that change.

There is no logical reason, if the capability exists to automatically produce sufficient basic necessities for every human being, why every human being should still have to do a make-work job in order to prove they "deserve" those things. And you could still have all the capitalism you like for anything that isn't a basic necessity; the basic life doesn't have to be one of luxury, just one free from worry about things like food and shelter; the currency of such a society would need to be tied to something other than control of basic-necessity resources, but finding alternative bases for currency is something people already do for fun.

An interesting example. If they had been assembled under license by a little-known NASA contracted-company in Illinois, would you still be as keen on it?

Until 1979 Soviet cosmonauts used their standard pilot-issue Strela watch, including on EVAs. In the West it was branded and sold as Sekonda[0]. Without the cachet of a luxury brand and extensive marketing it is almost unknown despite being just as functional as the Speedmaster.

I, too, recommend using the Scalaz \/[0] Either type as it is "right leaning" and lends itself quite nicely to processing due to it being both a model of Bifunctor[1] (making handling either a success or failure situation quite clean) and contributing nicely to defining an EitherT monad transformer capable of abstracting both latency (the Future part) and errors (the \/ part).

For example, I often have the following defined in projects:

type FutureEither[+T] = EitherT[Future, DomainError, T]

Where "DomainError" is a top-level type representing an error encountered during processing.

All this adds up to being able to work with "happy path" logic, deferring error handling until it can be handled/reported and network request/response latency absorbed until it becomes an error (addressed as any other error would be).

That's a brilliant distillation of some of the trouble I've had communicating with "regular people".

For instance, when everyone is concerned about the risk du juour (lately terrorism), some easy research shows that the leading causes of death for young adults are car accidents, heart disease, cancer, and suicide, and those are where you should be putting all your nervous energy. Terrorism isn't even a blip on the radar, but because of news coverage, people have trouble immediately recalling personalized narratives.

What are some new ideas for hiring software engineers?
Well, I think we'll have to agree to disagree here on terminology!

When a browser gets a malicious advertisement or a user gets a malicious cross-site scripting attack, I consider that remote exploit. Yes, it required the client to do something (i.e. visit a malicious page), but there are plenty of things which you can do to create that state without much user interaction. If I might ask, what do you call attacks like these?

I agree though that my Jetty example wasn't a good one, I was just making the point that the exploit was still in client code (i.e. something running on the victim's machine).
Dude, don't hate yourself, and don't define yourself as a $LANG developer, if you want to learn new languages, do so. Learn the basics start a small project, try them out.

If you really insist on limiting yourself to a single language, PHP is just fine, big market, not going out of business anytime soon, lil ugly, sure, but pays your bills and has the great advantage of you already knowing it. Do not jump ship based on hype, try stuff out, see if it's actually better.

Also, you don't need to learn python, you already know how to program. You can probably just start writing python code and just use google if you get stuck, start with python3 tho, saves you some trouble.

I've developed my first php website when I was around 12, worked with it for many years, tried out lots of different languages and my conclusion is php has some unique advantages. It's not my go-to language, but I wouldn't mind using it.

About rust, I'm not really into low level stuff so it's one language I haven't tried out yet, but by all means, try it out, will only make you a better programmer, just don't marry it before the first date (:

I am currently trying to implement that myself with the QML canvas, but it is not that easy to get a smooth working library.

"newer, trendy languages"

Python is 25 years old.

Remember, all of those "old" languages, when they became notable or influential, were younger than Python is now.

Scheme, when SICP was written, was only 15 years old. It was young and trendy at the time.

C was less than 20 years old when I learned is as part of a required course for my CS degree. I've no doubt that part of the reason was that it was widely used in industry.

C++ was the trendy thing by the time I left school. It was less than 10 years old.

Perl was 10-15 years old when it was used as the "Swiss Army chainsaw" for a lot of the first era of web development.

While this appears to solidify your observation that software engineering is very trend-following, I listed them to point out that Python seems to be the oldest language when it made the jump. It's surely older than most of the students and even TAs for the course.

Women like funny men. That's been my experience. Funny is attractive.

Self confidence plays a big role too, which goes with funny. Not "jerk self confidence", but "talk to you comfortably self confidence".

Also, I don't rely on online dating. I'm not a "player" by any stretch of the imagination, but life is too short to wonder what a woman would have said, so if I see a woman I like, I talk to her and ask her out if its appropriate. Politely and unintrusively. You risk nothing except rejection and stand to gain a whole lot more. Life gives to people who ask.

I think the question we should ask ourselves is not how to eliminate inequality, but what baseline level of services and opportunities we want to give people at any stage in their life, regardless of their competitiveness and productivity, including when they're otherwise poor and a net drain on society.

In other words, is stable housing a basic right or is it a luxury? If it's a basic right (and/or a net positive if it gives people the chance to bootstrap themselves into higher earnings), then we should strive to increase the reach and quality of tax-funded government housing programs - together with other baseline programs, such as public education, social services, etc. Or if you're a small-government person, substitute "tax-funded" with "charitable" and make it dependent on individuals' goodwills.

If it's a luxury then the status quo seems acceptable - markets need to be able to pick their customers, and baseline services are losing products unless the "exploitative" pricing makes up for it.

Abolishing inequality isn't desirable at all, but the range of inequality doesn't have to go from 0 to billionaire. We can provide a baseline that still leaves enough incentive for people to work their way up but is decent enough to live with dignity, greater than 0. Soviety provides some of that today. Discuss where to draw that line and who, taxpayer or otherwise, can provide it. A functioning society is never completely equal or completely without minimum support, always somewhere in between.

> Dating Site OKCupid, for example, has shown that its users routinely rate members of their own race as more attractive.

> In this case, the data is clear that men’s preferences are much more homogenous than women’s. “There are women who 95% of men say yes to, and there’s nothing like that for men,” says McLeod. “A man is really attractive if 40% of women say yes.”

So women have more complicated taste than men. But there are probably certain clusters of women (based on demographics, location, etc.) who'd find a specific look attractive at a rate higher than 40%.

There'd be a "George Clooney cluster" and a "Leonardo DiCaprio cluster". I just need to find the sndean cluster.

> Tinder calls each user’s ranking his or her “elo score.” The term comes from the world of professional chess, where elo scores are used to rank players. If an average player beats a grandmaster, her score increases significantly.

So there is a penalty for swiping right always. All the people claiming that folks should swipe right always and then select from matches were wrong.

Tinder is not an app people seem to use to find "the one".

From speaking to people who use Tinder (I settled down some years ago, so my experience of online dating was limited to OKCupid and PoF which were big back then), that the traditional route of finding a future spouse is still open, and Tinder is for hook-ups, one night stands, short relationships or maybe finding "friends with benefits" type relationships.

None of them are thinking they're going to find their future spouse on Tinder, that would be a nice bonus. Tinder is an app for getting laid.

When I was single and I went to a bar because I wanted to get laid (and I'm prepared to admit I was shallow enough to want to do this on occasion), my search parameters were very, very different than when I decided I wanted to settle down and find somebody to share my life with.

I don't think I'm unusual in this.

This article takes a slim premise and develops a hypothesis as fact that is too large a burden for it: that because on Tinder people are making flash judgements based on attractiveness, long-term relationships will change in their fundamental structural nature as relates to attractiveness.

This is nonsense. Tinder is an asynchronous singles bar.

It's the same behaviour that has been going on for hundreds - perhaps thousands - of years, but you can raise the bar of what you're looking for in terms of attractiveness if you yourself are attractive because you are not time-bound to last orders at the bar, and you are less likely to drop inhibitions because you are hopefully not constantly drunk whilst using it.

Sure, people might get married after meeting on Tinder, just as they do after a hook-up from meeting drunk in a bar. But falling in love at work or based on a long social relationship is not suddenly going to stop happening because of Tinder.

Citation needed. Pretty sure physical attractiveness is something both genders can judge pretty well and clearly it plays a role in relationships also because it is something you can influence to a degree which also implies a certain type of behavior.
