(replying to my own comment, sorry) -

Parent comment was suggesting that we would call a boss simply saying "no" to an employee asking for some change to be bad management. And that's a pretty reasonable assertion, unlike the straw man I constructed through poor reading comprehension.

So the question then is "why is an ultimatum okay when just saying "no" isn't?"

and that's a good question. I mean, I guess it's explaining that, you know, this is something the boss isn't going to change, that the boss would rather change the employee than change the thing the employee is asking to change.

so... I guess that is better than "no" because it conveys a lot more information. I mean, you could get a similar effect, I think, without the ultimatum with a sufficient "no, and here is why:" but the ultimatum conveys more information about the employers priorities.

Presume you were born a slave. Your family had been slaves for 5 centuries. Slaves are taught in early childhood that walking is always the "honourable" thing to do - only free people ride. Slaves also never fight back in an argument, always give way, always put other people's needs first, shrink their own presence as much as possible, etc.

Even when you earn your freedom, your instinct when anyone asks for riders would be to walk. You have to unlearn multiple anti-patterns of freedom and it is a conscious effort every single day to keep up your guard. When someone rejects you, you never know if it is because of the specific task you completed, or an anti-pattern, or your past slave roots. 30% of your brain goes towards self-correcting and self-consciousness, leaving only 70% to focus on a task. That means only slaves that sport an IQ of 130 to keep up with a non-inhibited free person. Furthermore, every single one of your elderly and senior Slave relatives scolds you every time you do a free person action, for not honouring your heritage. On top of that, some unknown percentile of free people cannot see themselves taking orders from a former slave in a higher position than them at work. Add insult to injury, because it is very obvious you are a slave (all slaves have an extra body part) a mistake is instantly attributed to your slavehood, further adding to the bias libraries of free people and to your own self-consciousness. Forgot to mention, you still have to do 100% of your slave duties in 50% of your time as a free person. It is a HUGE f-ing hill to climb.

However since slaves have carried half of humanity's domestic needs for the past 5 centuries, they've also built up tremendous self-discipline and other valuable muscles required to survive that darn hill. The moment they are able to apply their freedom and start thinking and acting like independent enterprising people is the moment they solve all mundane unnecessary inefficiencies they have been doing to "honor" the heritage of servitude. Humanity gets half of its productivity back, and uses the brainpower to deploy to more important things than walking. Before that point you're feeding 100 people but get the productivity of 50. After that point, you are getting 100 at the productivity of 200 for the same feeding costs. Add the exponential growth of knowledge and tech and developed technology might beat an extinction level event to save itself one day because of the acceleration. Conditioning and history aught to teach us to stop treating other humans as inferior and to build systems that apply the intellect of every one of us. The alternative is a waste.
pawns - 1 would overflow.

How big of a problem it is depends on the domain. I work with graphics where overflows happen all the time: you can find images large enough that width * height * constant doesn't fit in 31 bits. Image formats have 1-2 byte integers everywhere. You have to be careful with rounding and clamping pixels to avoid 255 white from flipping to 0 black, etc.

Intel has been selling mobile chipsets at loss for the last few years, because no one would touch them at break even price (and don't even think of profit. And still hardly anyone touched them..)

So they basically cut the subsidy (which is understandable) and didn't wait for their market segment to die as it surely would - they just killed it immediately.

In my career of programming (doing a lot of x86 programming in the late 80s/early 90s) I never saw INTO used, and on modern systems, it's very slow and worse yet, at least under Linux, it's mapped to a SIGSEGV (http://boston.conman.org/2015/09/05.2).
You are not qualified to tell others to not to judge what yet others deserve. Everybody is entitled to (and must) have a opinion and judgment on such issues. Having an opinion is an important function of education and it's an indicator too.

It's altogether different point what market gives to that person. Market generally rewards anyone irrespective of their actual merits, because market works on apparent merits and anyone good at selling themselves succeed.

I've had something on the tip of my tongue since seeing the parent comment last night - I think this is close https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_of_silence but it doesn't seem to say too much about when the majority behave this way, maybe it's a disparity between perceived like-minded group size and actual group-size.
Thank you for the explanation of the accessibility breakage. And i also hope that they will fix it.
CSS is often compiled from other languages like SASS.

HTML is often built from complicated templates.
While I followed it, there were two Microsoft versions blocked by Google, no joint versions to speak off, and totally subpar YouTube website experience because WP's html5 support was inadequate - but I stopped following at some point, so we might both be right.

With respect to Google calendar - that indeed was a retaliation at Microsoft. Your story would be more complete if you mentioned that at the time, Microsoft was both threatening android makers with patents AND charging Google for patents related to Exchange services. While the timing probably was decided to best hit WP, I heard dropping exchange was planned a while before.

Incidentally, microsoft's response was "no, no, no! You don't have to pay exchange patent fees anymore, just let WP users use Google services again". And I am happy to report that, as you know, Google ignored that plea. Microsoft has been subdued into an almost reasonable market participant position - and I suspect this fight is one of the reasons.
I did that for running iOS apps on Android; just recompile with another dll and the app works. It's not perfect but allows fast delivery for those clients who start with iOS and then don't really want to invest in Android (at that time) which, at least here, most of them.
"the 10x programmer often gets his 10x by leeching the performance of other team members. 10x programmers don't talk through their decisions with teammates, or think about the consequences of their rapid changes on other members, or indeed, the long-term health of the project."

I wouldn't call that person a 10x programmer. I think that the only meaningful way to define a 10x programmer is someone who has ten times the contribution to the company's bottom line of an average programmer (i.e., someone who would actually deserve to be paid ten times as much as an average programmer, but could probably be hired for far less than that). However, if someone produces 10x more code than the average programmer but "turns a 3x team into a 1x team", then their net productivity is negative and they should be immediately fired.

Yes, but compiling 40GB of Android source myself every time I want to change things is quite annoying.

And having to write my own smartlock provider as a system app isn't great either.

It'd be great if in addition to everything being AOSP, they'd also allow changing more at runtime.
Some are working on a consensus system called proof of stake which does not use energy. It is not clear whether it will be fully secure, etc., but if you read about this stuff decades ago you might want to google and research primarily Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Nokia was speeding toward an iceberg before Elop was involved.

The prior Nokia leadership openly mocked the iPhone as a non-threat, and then the company got destroyed by what it represented. Their arrogance was integral in Nokia's suicide.

The only thing you'd ever need to know about Nokia's downfall is represented in this graphic:

http://i.imgur.com/m2pSsHk.png

And this article [2008]:

"Shares of Nokia Corp. fell as much as 10%" ... "Nokia Chief Executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo on Thursday brushed off suggestions that Nokia needs to do more to fight back the foray of iPhone onto its home turf, calling it a ‘niche product."

Yet another example that software engineering isn't.
I think they'll continue to be seperate products far into the future because they're fundamentally different approaches. Aside from anything else, FPGAs are optimized for latency whereas GPUs are optimized for overall throughput.

Doesn't that means that CoreM is finally ready to replace Atom ? Why all the gloom ?
Problem is that if it was centralized it may be shut down. Moreover, the central entity would have to issue money and comply with aml etc and register accounts, thus turning it into a bank.
I think even if Windows was not dependent on ARM, Intel would continue to own the PC/notebook market for a long, long time to come. As soon as your device is large enough to fit even a 30-Wh battery in, you can already afford to use Intel CPUs power-consumption wise. Cost-wise, they’re still more expensive, but so are all the other components in notebooks such that they don’t make that big of a difference. Consumers are also okay with higher prices for longer-lasting notebooks as opposed to smart phones which are replaced every 2-3 years.

All in all, ARM still sucks performance-wise. Yes, you can run a decent-ish desktop with it, but you really don’t want to do anything that takes any amount of CPU time (development, typesetting, gaming, even browsing the web thanks to today’s JS craziness).
> large parts of Gradle are actually implemented in Groovy

I thought it was just the plugin and DSL handling code. That would explain why Gradle's so slow, then.

> the DSL, which can be used purely declaratively, but it's not limited to such use

Virtually no-one uses Groovy procedurally, only declaratively, in Gradle build scripts, so although that's true in theory, in practise only the non-Turing Complete portions of Groovy are used. Calling it a programming language there is like calling HTML one because you can embed Javascript in HTML.
I still vividly remember the awe that my Sea Monkeys inspired in me as a child: what were these little critters exactly? had they really sprung spontaneously into being from that tiny packet? The theatre of it was genius, and knowing the (rather banal) reality would have ruined the magic.
Is there a beginner guide for modern, home-use or pro-sumer quality, networking hardware in general, or device specific purchase recommendations for otherwise technically savvy people? Could someone please share a link? I've only ever used the hardware that comes for free with the contract from my cable operator, and I guess it works most of the time... but recently blind spots and and slow-speed-spots have been a nuisance.

This is one of the few areas of customer-protection where I disagree with the EU.

If mobile carriers are colluding to set unreasonable roaming charges then prosecute that as a cartel. But the EU has no business establishing actual call and data charges.

As a result of their intervention they indirectly increase domestic mobile rates for all the people who aren't roaming. The mobile firms can just increase domestic rates to compensate for lower roaming revenues.
Have "actual machine learning" experience, no idea what "high leverage" means.
> Intel didn't fail because of any variation on The Innovator's Dilemma.

Depends how you look at it. My understanding of the Innovator's Dilemma, is that when faced with disruption, which implies radical change within the organization, nobody in that organization really wants to do that, because it messes up too many of their processes/products, etc.

So what do they do instead? They try to make their existing technology/product fit the new paradigm. This is what Nokia tried to do with "touch-enabled Symbian", instead of writing a new touch-focused OS from scratch (they did do that with Maemo actually, but also because of Innovator's Dilemma reasons, they failed to focus on it and invest in it).

It's also what Intel did with Atom, and by the way, why they killed the ARM-based Xscale division as well a few years before the iPhone. Atom has too high cost to compete in mobile. This is mainly what killed Intel's mobile division. Intel even tried to license it out to cheap Chinese chip makers, but it was still not competitive in performance/price.

And it's also why Microsoft failed for so long to conquer tablets, by retrofitting desktop Windows for them. Before you mention the Surface Pro, first off I don't consider it a major success, it's too expensive for most people, and 90% of the reason people get it is to use it as a PC, not as a tablet (other than perhaps designers, but that's not a mainstream market, and it's more inline with the Wacom tablet professional market).

It's also why hybrid cars or regular cars being retrofitted as EVs will fail against pure EVs, too, etc, etc
C was always a terrible language for security - this is the language with 'gets' in its standard library - but it was years before it was fully recognized. Longevity of poor practice isn't a defense. It's our modern networked world that pulled back the rug on the horrors below.

For overflow in particular, it's because numbers - memory sizes, specifically - got bigger than can be represented in 32 bits. There's a class of attacks that depend on fooling a program into allocating much less than it thought it was allocating via overflow, and using that as a vector for exploitation. In the past, these programs simply wouldn't have been networked, or the numbers involved would have caused an OOM, but now the combination of both causes problems.

The irony is that the church of singularity is not relevant to the process - its like declaring evolution some godlike principle or cataclysmic event- while it just is a glider gun going forth, not knowing, not wanting to know.

I guess in the end, the science journals just where roadblocks in Alphabets way. So they have to go- so they will die, the usual way- with there resource supply systems stripped from them by a not "attackable" third party, condemned by those who benefit, as a barbaric, lawless act.

If they would have foresight, they would release all the papers they have into the public domain, and have there true opponents wrestle with the GPL and thus the allmende that produced the wealth.
Instead they are having a nap at the ste ering wheel moment.
In the end it will help mankind.

Mozilla has publicly said several times that they will NOT provide the same set of APIs.

What we want is the ability to modify the whole browser chrome as if it was a website, and the ability to modify every action that happens in the browser.

(For example, for tree style tabs, or a tab bar at the bottom, or stuff like redirecting some keypresses to other processes).

Vivaldi does provide these things. Vivaldi allows users to literally rewrite 100% of the actual browser with simple JS addons.

Mozilla should provide at least what Vivaldi provides.

I wouldnt be comfortable working late in the Tenderloin on a regular basis. I'll pass through when my destination takes me that way, but I'm always very aware of my surroundings when I do. A company would have to entice me to work there via money or a hell of a great culture. Chances are slim that I'll come to harm on a given occasion, but with increased exposure comes increased risk.
I'm referring to leverage in statistics [1], and particularly how high leverage observations may affect your model and how people deal with them. Clearer?

For context: one of the candidates I interviewed told me that the best way to pick a model was to pick the model that would have the highest R squared when fitted to the whole dataset. I asked him about overfitting and he didn't know what I was talking about. Same guy whose CV showed 4 years in a research lab doing stats [2]. A lot of people are just going through the motions.

I think reviews tend to be overly critical primarily because reviewers are forced to find excuses to reject 9/10 of the papers that landed on their desk, most of which they weren't even interested in reading.

I strongly believe that review could be almost exclusively through positive feedback, with crowd-sourced minimal annotations in the margins, i.e. "the idea in this paragraph came from <earlier paper link>", and "this idea is novel; wish I thought of it", and "there is a strong analogy between this paragraph and <some other tangentially related idea>"
You are right, 10,000 hits a day is not worth talking about.
As someone who lives and travels in the EU and has had more than enough of this bill shock, I'm all for this regulation - it was clear that the arbitrary border charges were being used (in the smaller EU states) as a way to gouge customers.

If the mobile providers continue to gouge customers by just transferring the costs to domestic billing, then that is something that the EU should also address, and as a subject of EU regulations in this regard, I'm all for it.
