It's simply intractable to add up everyone's advantages and disadvantages

Sure.

it's the wrong path to focus on group attributes/trends when you start talking about individuals.

Absolute nonsense. If a particular school had a 30% graduation rate while every other school in the state averaged 80%, would you say, "Wait a minute! It's the wrong path to talk about this school in particular. These are individual kids..."

As you say, every individual human being certainly is more than the some of their labels. But when gross inequalities between groups emerge, it's lunacy to suggest there are no greater group-wide forces at work on scales greater than the individual.

Would you tell Michael Jordan to check his privilege if he told a group of average white male nerds to reflect on theirs?

Is Michael Jordan a group of people? Unless there's a clone army of Michael Jordans out there that I don't know about, this theoretical question is bizarre and irrelevant to anything anybody is talking about.

I'm not even sure what you're getting at here. He is a part of some privileged groups (rich people, people with one-in-a-million athletic ability, men) and not others.

I could clamor for tall rich sportsmen to "send the
elevator down for me". That it's their responsibility
and so on.

Michael Jordan can't make you a rich, tall sportsman. That's not... physically possible. However, the author of the original article suggested that we help others achieve careers in our industry. Now that certainly does seem possible, doesn't it? Hardly even seems controversial, if you ask me.

Fast compile times are cool, but I've never heard anyone say they liked programming in a language that Wirth created. The possible exception is Delphi as a Pascal derivative, but that has very little to do with wanting to program in Pascal.

If I had to guess, I would guess that a large part of the difference is whether or not the individuals believe they'll get away with it.

Regardless, what I commented on was the suggestion that men just needed to be educated that raping was wrong, which is much narrower then "anything to do with the education/socialization of men" Obviously, education/socialization sufficiently widely understood has something to do with it.
This is really cool. I might take this on for a project. Though it doesn't look like it's battery powered, which is disappointing.

Sweet, time to buy more. I was holding off since it was obvious that prices over 100$/share without any new products to excite the imagination of traders with no technology background wasn't going to last forever. It' always interesting to me how wall street lacks any depth in their analysis. Direct sales and revenues are basically the only metrics they look at. Which is fine for a small company but when you are looking at a 700B company, spending 8B a year in R&D being that shortsighted is almost funny.
A lot of the decisions made behind software products depend on management's decision as to what is 'good enough' and when to release a first version to iterate upon.

Every day, I encounter parts of the codebase that could be refactored or sections of a page that probably do not make sense to half of the user base, but in the eyes of management, this is not a problem as customers will learn. If I were to spend all day polishing aspects of the site, that would not be as preferable as working on a major feature release.

They can, but they generally don't.
They changed the design when they closed things up. As it's not a derived work, there's not a violation.
Private companies generally prefer to keep their financial statements secret. If your default policy isn't "we never share" then people will assume the worst unless you share. "Leaking" gets around that.

Also, if a company is doing much better than expected, they don't want their competitors to see their margins.
Do you think that's not also going to involve laying off thousands of employees as they retool factories to build cars for which there is little demand?
No, sorry if I got the details slightly wrong, but the issue is the same: should people from country A be able to set up an account in country B, and then watch the shows in country B's market (over a VPN)? Usually, it's non-US people wanting to get access to the US version of Netflix, but obviously there's other cases too since every country will have a different catalog and different people have different tastes.

How cheap is fossil fuel once you factor in all external effects?
You need something simple and standard for emergencies, in the same way you have a three digit emergency number in the US and UK (and, I assume, other places). If every phone is different nobody will bother learning the sequence, or they'll remember the sequence they had on their last mobile.

Most people stop thinking when they panic. I used to manage a group of computer operators. One day one of my employees collapsed. I directed her coworker to call the emergency number while I was checking for breath and a heartbeat.

Since it was a military base with an obsolete phone system, the emergency number wasn't 911, and even though there was a huge red sticker on the phone (which she'd used for years) with the emergency number, the coworker kept punching in 911 over and over, getting more and more panicked when it didn't connect. She froze up so badly even when I told her what to do she couldn't do it - I had to take the phone from her and dial myself.

She would have been fine if 911 actually worked, though, because that's the emergency number that had been drilled into her since childhood.

That job (because of that incident and another when the fire suppression system went off) taught me all those stupid-seeming standardized emergency systems really can save your life. Even if you're the sort of person who can keep your head in an emergency, you may need help from someone who can't.
(FWIW, I just pushed a fix for this bug.)

EDIT: To be clear, addressing these kinds of issues is something we've been aggressively pursuing for Swift 3, and will continue to do so.

For those curious about the performance improvements, https://benchmarking.nodejs.org has you covered.
It's always been really, really bad once you try to take the experience into your own hands. The path of least resistance with technology is to stay well behind the curve, choose the popular brand, avoid niche use cases, use the minimum amount of features, and modify nothing - in effect, to use everything as if it were an Apple device in stock configuration. However, sometimes more effort is worthwhile because the unmodded experience is so poor or ill-fitted.

Yesterday I finally got fed up with my cheap Android phone and flashed it with a modded rom. It took probably 8 hours of reading and downloading and testing and waiting to get it into a working state, because there are so many points along the chain where a little misconfiguration breaks the process, and the people making mods often have working software with poor documentation and inadequate testing.

In the end, there just is never enough time to go around to make it perfect for everyone in every use case. You have to choose carefully when you want to fight the battle - and you can expect to lose, a lot of the time.
I'm pretty convinced that you can get any quality you're willing to specify, pay for, and inspect for in China.

China gets a bad rap for the lowest, barely passable spec crap that gets made and sold by vendors seeking the lowest possible COGS. It's not that China can't make iPhones; it's that they get asked to make cheap shit in a lot of cases. And they can happily do that, too...

Plenty of human endeavors seemed impossible or infeasible to automate until someone found a way. I don't think the complete automation of creative and scientific work will happen in my lifetime, but I do believe it will happen.

At best, if not complete automation, then near complete automation.
I recently wrote a tool to report Swift block compile times, since this kind of thing can be unpredictable. At Hipmunk we run it every night to find out how we can make our builds faster.

Another common culprit of slow compile times is usage of lazy var.

Backwards compatibility doesn't apply here because, by definition, prefixed properties are supposed to go away and the intention of them is to go away. Only dumb developers continue to use such things once a standard property is available so it's their own fault if they don't do that.

What surprises me is that they didn't try to use it to make the keyboard more "physical".

If the OSK can distinguish a finger resting from a finger pressing, then you get closer to that of a physical keyboard.

Especially if the resting part can be tied in with the vibration engine to give a slight nudge to indicate edges of keys, or some such.

Information about "you" is collected 24/7 at all times. That is you are watching a TV, reading a book, going to toilet, masturbating or having sex with your partner.

If the government decides certain actions are "illegal", say masturbation, they readily have data to rabbit hole you and punish you.

Do you consent to this policy and this data collection? It seems like an important question. More over, Singapore, when the smart nation policy is implemented, Congrats! you are signed up already!.

You've used a lot of emotive words - like the article seems "fishy" or that you don't believe this article due to "experience" and now that believing this account defies "rudimentary common sense".

I can think of a lot of instances in which "common sense" has been invoked as short hand in an argument where the people involved simply can't explain why they disbelieve the opposition.

You seem to quite often attempt to signal that you are aligned with an unbiased and rational view, but you seem to just discard arguments based on your emotions.

There's been a few threads on this article that you've abandoned. Its becoming more and more clear its because you simply can't satisfyingly state the reasons for your judgements.

A Brief History of GTD
Are you familiar with criminals who take responsibility for their actions? I've never heard of such a thing, so your implied conclusion seems idealistic
2 observations from my experience:

1 - You can fix the time or the scope of the project, but not both. I can say, "I will deliver project X in 4 months" but you have to be willing to let me toss out scope, and the earlier the better. This does work. Just like I can say, "I will promise to deliver all the scope in project X, I just can't promise how long it will take." Agile helps break this into smaller chunks, and allows you to get more visibility into what's realistic more quickly. I've seen too many waterfall projects slip by 3-6 months at a time only when the final deadline approaches.

2 - I've seen more projects slip because of "Unplanned work" and "Missed Dependencies" than due to "Misestimated work". It's either scope creep, or "I didn't realize we needed to test integration" or "Person X didn't give me what I needed." The only counter-examples I've seen are when engineers aren't consulted in the estimates.
What I do in this "war" is constantly reminding and educating my coworkers that they should care more and also teaching them HOW they can do that.

I had already several very hard and harsh fights with my bosses, even with the CEO telling them "everyone is not very good at this company" because I care about quality very much and rather fight over it than sit quietly and just produce shit.

I gave "talks" about specific topics, constantly grab the opportunity when I can tell them about a new concept, Clean Code, better tools, whatever. I introduced TDD, CI, automatic deployments, will introduce CD next month over a year I have been working at my current company.

If you are one of the better developers you can and should fight against lazyness and low quality, even teach the ones who cares/know less.

Also it's very comfortable to blame your boss, but you can do very much about this. I introduced automated testing not because they asked me for it, but because I thought is important. I educated them that this way, development will take a bit longer, but will be higher quality.
You can even do things which improves quality and they don't even know about. My next step is to introduce third party services (which they never used before and always went with the open source or cheap solutions) which makes our work easier, so we can focus on what's important, and make it better.
Totally agree. IMO they probably would be better off if they left the original behavior, but every time prefixes are used (whether they work or not) browser would just display a watermark in a corner saying that website is using experimental features that are not standardized yet and could appear broken.
I'd love to know why these went away too -- not that I liked them, but they seemed well suited to the ignorance level of most people that I know. Even though they've been replaced with ATT Next/Verizon Edge/... plans that are appealing to technophiles, as well as easy 3rd-party financing (just not through the provider), I'd like to know the "illuminati" reason that the market shifted.
1. The goal of US drone assassinations is not to effect political change but to keep the status quo. That's a different question than one you asked.

2. On a more general level, your question can be rephrased as 'has violence ever been effective at making a (political) difference'. The answer to that is - absolutely. It has actually been the most effective strategy at effecting change throughout history.
The best is also the enemy of the worst. I basically have no use for twitter minus an RSS feed. Why would I bother trying a 3rd part application when twitter pulled the rug out from under me?
You're making the big assumption these devices will always support analog audio output over USB-C. There's nothing preventing that from being disabled, and the digital output can definitely be forced to DRM only. We're already seeing this with things like the Lightning connectors on iPhones vs the old Dock connector that had analog and digital signals unimpeded, now with Lightning it requires an MFi certified device to decode the digital signal and no analog signal is provided at all.
Kudos to Heroku. As someone who has had to make Kafka into a managed service, I know what a pain it is (I'm not a Kafka fan for a lot of reasons) to administer in a cloud environment.
If you think the reason is incredible, it is precisely your incredulity and the reasons for it that are in question.

Even if reason is a concept that is outside of human control, you're still attempting to apply it to this article. It is necessarily channeled through you when you comment on this situation.

What you accept is relevant.

> [Nikhil]: Or educate men in society that these things are wrong.

> [ChongLi]: Yes, actually.

> [OldManJay]: Are you familiar with criminals who take responsibility for their actions? I've never heard of such a thing, so your implied conclusion seems idealistic

Nikhil and ChongLi are doing nothing but regurgitate the faulty feminist narrative that they have fondly taken on to be common sense.

Both American and Indian societies already teach its members that rape, murder, theft and other crimes are "wrong". This is called social conditioning, and is put into effect from childhood onwards. Social conditioning does not of course necessarily stop the criminals like Elliot Rodger (murder) and Mukesh Singh (rape) from conducting their crimes.

The narrative of "Teach men not to rape," that these people ignorantly spit out, is based on the faulty premise that the said men have not been taught not to rape (and kill, maim, and so forth).

> [ChongLi]: In an interview from jail[0], one of the men who participated in the 2012 gang rape and murder of Jyoti Singh blamed the victim for the attack[1]! [0] http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/1144346.... [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Delhi_gang_rape#Incident

With a little intelligence and sensitivity, it is not difficult to prober further into the underlying motivation of these criminals, and without understanding the underlying motivations you cannot effect change. Here's a clue: Mukesh Singh (one of the perpetrator of the Delhi gang rape event) had this to say in that interview: "A decent girl won’t roam around at nine o’clock at night … Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing indecent things, wearing indecent clothes.".
