Has this strategy worked perfectly so far? I would imagine a best two of three method would work better like those used for integrity in high radiation environments. However, I'm guessing code is significantly more deterministic and the danger of false positives (tests passing when they shouldn't) is much smaller.
It's 9K. I really wish you'd Google'd that yourself. I have no idea about the podcasts.

Right, I'm suggesting FB wants people to end up on Messenger.
I think that the reason you find this objectionable is because you misunderstand the goal and the premises, and therefore the statement.

It is not, "universally, we need one of each", but (goal:) "we must ensure no group is marginalized" + (premise:) "blacks are marginalized" = (conclusion:) "we must reduce the marginalization of blacks" = (statement:) "it is unacceptable that there are no blacks"

In general, most prescriptive feminist and anti-racist notions are not founded an a manufactured set of axioms for a hypothetical society, but with premises based on empirical observations of our real society, and so are based on the assumption that there exist marginalized groups, and we know which groups they are (or some of them, at least). You can think of it as statements not prescribing how a new society must be built, but how our existing society must be fixed. I.e., you are given a delta value, not an absolute one.

You may argue with either the goal (a value statement) or the premise (a factual statement), but right now you're arguing with the wrong ones.
You're trading ops costs to be locked into a platform. Does that matter? Probably not if you're targeting being acquired by Google. If you intend to eventually move to your own equipment, it does matter.

There is no such thing as no ops. Only someone else doing ops, no more than I can have TensorFlow write code instead of developers.

CAS on every property write? That adds up really quickly which is why Rust has Rc vs Arc.

The issue with GC is it's not deterministic. There's a whole nother aspect that has to do with free heap space. Quite a few GCs need some multiple of working set free to do the compact phase. If they don't have it then GC times start to spiral out of control.

On an embedded device(or modern game console) you'll be lucky to have 5-10mb free. On PSP we used to have only 8mb total since 24/32mb went to video+audio. We still ran Lua because we could constrain it to a 400kb block and we knew it would never outgrow it.

Just like everything in software there's different tools for different domain spaces. Otherwise someone would just write one piece of software that fits every problem and we'd all be out of a job.
I outlined my thoughts, a large social network would have to do it. linkedin, google, twitter, microsoft or facebook. LinkedIn, twitter, facebook being the most profitable. Maybe apple, for the security, weird FBI hacking thing although their software has gone down hill. I digress,

what was the Facebook snapchat clone? I haven't heard of a large scale effort to clone snapchat yet. If I were to build a comparable universe of companies for snapchat, I would say it is a lot like tinder, twitter and foursquare.
If you think ischemia is bad, there is also something called reperfusion injury. Basically, if the lack of oxygen does not kill a cell directly, the spike in oxidative stress when the oxygen supply returns can cause it to become inflamed or even initiate apoptosis.

This is why medically induced hypothermia is sometimes used on heart attack patients, so that the brain doesn't swell up and kill itself after normal oxygenated blood circulation is restored.

So let's not casually mess around with air passengers' oxygen supply, mmkay? It would almost be better to just flood the passenger cabin with vaporized marijuana extract. The risk there is that someone might stage a fake attack just to turn the plane into a giant bong.
Just bought it. I really like it. One thing that would make this perfect for me is the ability to show stats for specific time ranges within a day. I use my laptop for both work and home. It would be nice to see a set of stats for just 9am-6pm everyday; or whatever ranges I want.

I guess the time tracking works right now by just tallying up seconds for each category? And it isn't recording time stamps?
Recording time stamps might end up taking up too much space?
really? breitbart.com?
> I also never implied that schools were meant to be perfect.

Yeah, you're right, sorry.

> we have zeroed in on the certification/diploma too much and have begun (until recently) paying too much attention to whether the cert has been attained as opposed to what it is supposed to represent

I can only speak for myself. For me this story is not just about the value of the piece of paper. It's the down-the-road effects that I find interesting. You may feel the plight of China or Chinese students does not affect you. I consider them part of my community. I live in Taiwan, which, while a separate country from China, often gets lumped together with China. I think many people could make a case for how this issue affects them, whether in school or the workplace, beyond just the value of their degree. When this happens at all schools, it becomes the value of our educational system.

> The reason why I believe this happened is because it is much easier to quantify a diploma or any other certification, "Oh you graduated! That must mean X."

Yup, that happens, for sure
> Then instead of a bubble, how about a "Foam?"

"Froth" is the standard terminology for this concept.
I wish so much that I could be picky about my hiring like GitHub. I wish I could have so many qualified candidates applying that I am able to create a diverse team. But I put out job ads and get like 2 qualified responses.

How the hell are they able to find all these candidates such that they can start being picky about who they hire???

Maybe Toronto just sucks for tech talent... Argh...
Honestly, I don't see good solution to this until the rate of technological change really slows down. It seems like your options are to either pay to periodically re-engineer every system or pay to maintain obsolete hardware.

Thus it can be estimated that you can get, on average, a 45% speed improvement?!

I'm going to try and bench this on a mobile webview and see what happens.
Wouldn't this give Reddit more control though? If the files are hosted somewhere else they have to rely on that service to handle takedowns. It means they can still show up all over Reddit and to a lot of users come across like Reddit is hosting them; speaking from the stand point of your average user, not Reddit/HN user.

I would imagine Reddit wants to have control and be able to more quickly take down things versus waiting for moderators to automod or manually remove posts.
Definitely true in general, but I think it's more noticeable in the JS world. Look at Java + Spring, C# + ASP.NET, Python + Django, Ruby + Rails: these are all examples of popular frameworks that have been around for much longer than any single JS library (except jQuery), and are all still in high demand.
> I don't understand why use cases 1 and 2 wouldn't just send a text message picture. Why would you bother with a 3rd party app that erases them?

Snapchat has more features than sending a simple text. I still use text message pictures when I just want to send a picture. Snapchat lets you caption and draw on photos, which is a big draw. The erasing part of it is a feature too, and not just for nude pics. For example, sometimes I send off color humor to my friends and knowing that the joke's going to go away in 5 seconds makes me less hesitant to send. I don't think my friends themselves are going to screenshot the pics and try to disparage me, but I would feel uncomfortable if I were to email something to them that may accidentally be seen by an SO or parent.
Exactly - except it's gross and results in a lot of annoying boilerplate code for what should be considered a simple operation.

Tons of generic APIs essentially do the same thing by passing in the class object in the constructor, e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/a/1090488/1075909 . The question for people not that familiar with the Java type system is often "Why do I have to pass in the class object when I just declared the type parameter in my instance?"

That's not the only thing you need to workaround because of type erasure (the "TypeToken" stuff in a lot of deserialization libraries is another one that comes to mind frequently), but it's probably the first annoying example people hit.
Would you say they're the Greatest Of All Time? ;)
Ah, sorry about that -it looks like I misremembered and they don't actually offer that. I'll edit that out so it doesn't mislead more people.
People on tech forums are typically negative about social media apps and platforms. It's pretty interesting.
look i have crazy theories which I think are sane and correct(they are) so I am willing to give this a shot. Can you please walk me through the next 5 years of how you see this progressing. As I said a lot, I am not a user but I don't find it compelling personally but i honestly would love to be proved wrong. If you could even do it high level, I would be really interested in core growth and monetization strategies. Even far out ones. 5 years I believe is the farthest out you can map a startup and be even pointed in the correct direction still. I just want to know what you think could be pushing their sails that I am missing.
The downvoting demonstrates exactly why the article's well-poisoning is offensive; the tautological ideology of intersectionality leaves no room for dissent in the marketplace of ideas, as any dissent merely proves the original premise of structural discrimination and privilege that applies to blunt categories of people on the basis of gender and race, and thus dissent is not to be considered an invitation to dialog, but damaging ignorance at best, "hate speech" at worst, and worthy of silencing regardless.
I can guarantee you it will not. ? is still unstable, and since the release of 1.9 means that 1.10 is in beta, it will not be in 1.10.
This is part of what I'm asking. The valuation is growing, as is the amount of money their taking. That means the company now has to exit for that much more in order for employees to see any return. If I'm an early employee I now have to hope they exit for $X billion for my shares to be worth anything. If they exit for less there's a chance I see nothing after investing years of my life and watching them pass on a $3 billion offer.

I hope that's not the case.

IronPython, IronRuby, and plenty more dynamic languages on the CLR which has reified generics certainly disagree with your opinion here.

If anything, my opinion is that the abundance of so many dynamic languages on the JVM, and the active use of those dynamic languages in JVM projects, has much more to do with how no one really wants to work in Java than anything to do with how generics work (or don't work) in the JVM.
I'm curious about what's compelling about having a native terminal. When I first started with Android, I really enjoyed using the terminal, creating chroots, installing and configuring things. I learned a lot. But now that I have several cheap servers on DigitalOcean, I have almost no interest in native terminal. The interface is the same, everything works properly with no quirks, I can scale up the power as much as I want, and I can access it from a desktop to pick up where I left off.

The only use case I can think of would be wanting to access a terminal on the phone when I don't have a network connection, but so far that has never come up.

I'm not saying it isn't nice to have a native terminal, just that renting a VPS to me is so much better to mein every way. I can definitely see the case for people on a very tight budget or with poor connectivity, but is there any other reason? Not trying to contradict you, just really can't think of a reason why I'd want to go back.
Thanks for the explanation. Should be a better description in the README :) Unikernels are nice for certain types of applications.
This blog post reads to me like the Pokemon motto "Gotta Catch 'Em All".

Being non-american (I'm from a South American country) it is hard for me to understand the importance giving to these things associated to racism and sexism. The United States is the only place I have seen where people invest a considerable amount of time and resources just to put people from minor groups or specific genders in pedestals just to please other people. You will (probably) never see such thing in Latin American because no one cares why color your skin is or what gender you identify with in order to get a specific job.

Why do they care if there are no "Black/African-American" in their company? Or that 10% are black women? Or that 35% of women are in a leadership role? Like who cares? Are their roles assigned based on their gender and/or skin color?

Jesus, even my European co-workers make fun of Americans for these things. Let people build their career based on how they work and not their ethnicity nor gender, otherwise you will be incentivizing more racism and more sexism.
You know people researching and working on the cure for cancer don't even have a tenth of the sanctimonious attitude of yours.

The reputation system should be overhauled. A user-based PageRank-style system would highlight the quality of work over quantity and a high rank would give a user voting power that would take some burden off of moderation.

A monetary voluntary "tip" system (or cash "bounty" system) would be nice too. Talented people would be more willing to contribute if it supplemented their income. Wrought with unforeseen consequences I'm sure...
A good thing that labeling it stupidity is not the method for dealing with it, just a part of describing methods for dealing with it.
At that point the female/male distinction loses its meaning altogether. If anyone can pick their gender, what makes someone masculine and what feminine? Nothing. There's no difference between genders, so lose gender-specific words.

I'm not against transgender, I'm just arguing on technical grounds. I don't see value in using gender-specific words if people can pick their gender, but I do see value in using them purely to distinguish between people by what is between their legs.
I deal with the three "major" networks like so:

Facebook - Accomplishments/events I want shared out to a broad network. Highly "filtered" view of my life (and my friend's lives).

Twitter - Less content but less filter, more off the cuff thoughts or broadcasting something I find interesting to a broad network of followers.

Snapchat - High content, no filter. Snapchat photos can be "bad", things in them can be mildly inappropriate, and the broadcast distance is relatively small.

If you don't personally see the value of a low/no filter network with your friends, then it probably isn't for you.
Hah, okay.
What's the point of titles, adjectives, pronouns if they can be manipulated by the subject?

Statement:

"Dr. Smith ran across the street. She was terrified of what would happen next"

What actually happened:

"A burly transgender man who believes he is a doctor ran across the street."
> justified by the minority of companies that come out of such foam-swells that actually create value?

I think that this is, ultimately, the way that this will either remain or be replaced by something else.

If the foam-swell actually ends up producing value despite all of the other garbage that gets produced, it might very well be better than anything else that we can come up with. In the startup world, more crap is perfectly fine if it leads to more value.
Thank you! The time range feature is on the roadmap already.
Taking the Robots to Design School
all those things (agile etc) are better than working on waterfall style software with 5000 other programmers at microsoft and massive teams of PMs to coordinate it all. That was awful.
It was called FB Poke and was built in 12 days after Zuckerberg flew out to talk to Evan and Evan turned his offer down. When it launched it was basically better than snapchat in every category, but people didn't switch to it.

Then Evan responded by copying Apple and saying 'Welcome Facebook, Seriously'. On an unrelated meta note I found this annoying because it originally came from people building personal computers and not dumb ephemeral messaging apps.

Maybe Snapchat can do what Facebook and Google have done and become a real technology company, but so far feels more like twitter (lots of users, but unclear vision).

The larger point is that it shouldn't be up to the individual consumer to decide which employee criminal records are acceptable and which ones are not.

Brands exist for this very reason: so the consumer can choose to trust / not trust the brand at large based on their past experiences with the brand, which are of course influenced by hiring practices, among other things. It is a trust by proxy if you will, and it is the more critical for unsupervised "employees".

If Uber wants to build a trustworthy brand, it is up to Uber to 1. Define their hiring standards and practices loudly, transparently and clearly (like every other large company does) and 2. Enforce them consistently

As it stands right now, (and you may feel differently) I am not the kind of consumer that would do business with a company that leaves it up to the consumer to figure out whether their employees are violent criminals or not.
State Dept. Report on Clinton’s Emails OIG [pdf]
even reasonably large open source projects don't need anything beyond feature branches and one long-lived master branch.

and if you're going to back port to historical releases and hotfix and or patch them, its better to fork off master and then cherry-pick back, and then eventually end those branches.
Exceptions can also be a pain to deal with in lazy Iterators. Either every lambda needs to be a try statement, or you need state.

Being able to map a domain with all its subdomains to a category would be awesome. I access a whole bunch of hosts in an internal domain, and they're all productive.
At my company, we only approve remote employees who are proven to be dependable and self-directed. usually senior hires who are willing to take paycut because they want to live where their spouse can work or care for family/kids.

Not just engineers. sales and ops folks who are close to clients/vendor offices are also prime for remote work.

~$12/year for jonaseinarsson.se and .com (it wasn't taken)

Semi-common name in Sweden.
I can unequivocally say that as an employer we've hired people who are much older and re-trained because they were able to do the job. We're okay with people who have kids or are older, as long as they get the job done. If older people can't get the job done and a younger person can, then so be it.
There are many people in this conversation describing then as the Savior of comments for commits, as it not using them is a disservice to the team. I'm not much of a coder myself, but the suffering opinions are interesting.
Pros and Cons of Infographics for SEO
It's fun to come up with snaps that are as outlandish as possible and get friends' reactions as they try to match you. You can stay engaged with people even if you don't have anything in particular to discuss. I am not sure Snapchat is worth $20B, but they have discovered a new medium and they've implemented it well.
> is usually correct about startups, not incorrect, wouldn't a better

... phrase be "prematurely correct".

Not a good position to be in, but some people insist in telling the truth, poor asses.

("Premature antifascists" was how the US communists and sympathizers of the 1930s were designated later, when WW2 got underway. Embarrassingly enough, those people were highly agitated when the Axis powers were chasing communists and making trains run on time, but calmed down for the couple of years that the German-Soviet pact lasted. History is more fun than a barrel of monkeys, except for the bits where people get killed.)
do you know what a ponzi scheme is?

Yes, a ponzi scheme requires most participants exiting with more money than they started -- until they don't.

At risk of invoking the wrath of test fanatics -- aren't tests supposed to save time? If your tests are both unreliable and so hard to debug that you haven't been able to fix them for two months, I'd think you'd be better off just turning them off and figuring out a better testing strategy.
I am skeptical, a bit, of their longterm ability to fight off margin compression.

What do people use them for?

If minutes of calling, inbound or outbound, that is trivial in terms of switching costs.

If sms, there are plenty of competitors, including teli.net (disclaimer, I know people that work there), haven't directly compared pricing however.

The real question to ask is how much lockin they have managed to generate. Without lockin they will eventually suffer margin compression.
You also potentially lose things like focus, input text, and selection on elements that otherwise didn't need to be replaced. I'd wager that re-creating all of that would add a discernible performance cost.
The company doesn't have to exit for billions in order for early employees to make a substantial return. Being employed now is a different scenario, though.

The total number of terrorists is very low. 9/11 was a major operation and was not something they could ramp up.

PS: Hospitals are dangerous even for healthy people. Much like how trench warfare lead to the 1918 pandemic which killed between 50 and 100 million. Simply being around those with a compromised immune system represents a risk.
