If true, I'd argue this is evidence the problem is more widespread than realized (rather than "normal." Just because something is common doesn't mean we should accept it).

I think this issue is particularly daunting because free-information seems good, but having been to ridiculous interviews before we are all aware how biasing a small amount of irrelevant data can be.

The features are included in all modern Intel CPUs AFAIK, if you found one where it wasn't included please let me know as its absence would be a feature for me.

As for the number of people who think remote access is bad, nobody seems to be denying it can be useful, but by baking it into hardware you're basically hoping that it doesn't get hacked. If it was an optional dongle nobody would care.
With google pretty much becoming an AI that is able to crawl the entire internet and utilize that information is various ways (good and bad), it really limits the use of the modern internet to talk about or criticize it if either the people behind Google, or google itself decide that that criticism or opposition is no longer in their/its best interest. Maybe the AI internet and a purely Human internet should be kept somewhat separate (or is that discrimination against AI's?)
Haper is/was about as anti-science as they come, no matter his motivations for being so. Canada isn't some pancea of unencumbered science.
There's an expectation that you'd participate at least to some extent. There will be smaller karaoke / drinking type parties after work, and a larger 'nomikai' meal at a large restaurant which is used to celebrate a major milestone say every month or quarter.

You would probably be expected to participate in the larger one, whereas particpating in less of the smaller ones would become adverse career wise over time. Drinking is theoretically optional.

Typically family time seemed to be at weekends, and heavily focused on getting out and about into the countryside etc. The apartments are so small that it wouldn't really be feasible or desirable to hang out at home much.
But surely, the moment you integrate the random library into your project, you assumed responsibility for it - warts and all? I just can't see the moral authority that you've granted yourself to complain about the library and the effort required to continue to maintain it, when it clearly was of advantage to you to integrate it into your project in the first place .. Don't you think it was a privilege that some stranger wrote code that you used in your project, in spite of the thorns?

I heartily agree with what you have said. It is the reason I am not really biting at Pony. Maybe if I needed everything else it offered, or fully understood everything else it offered?

The problem I see now is that the entire functional domain is so spread out - Clojure, F#, OCaml, Haskell, Idris, Erlang/Elixir/LFE, and even the APL/J/K/Q crowd and Java's attempt to go functional. I'm not complaining about the number of functional languages to choose from, which is good. It's whether there will be enough critical mass in any one of the functional languages given a new non-functional language popping up every week. I don't know.

Now that MS has opensourced so much, and Xamarin's stuff is free, F# is looking better to me (again).

I also find myself dropping to C. C was my third language (after 6502 assembly and CPM Basic). Haskell/Idris/Elm are my toys of the year. I never fully dove into Haskell, but the concise, readable and very mathematical syntax agrees with my sensibilities.

Old! I'm 52, but I didn't stay with programming for a living, so my age doesn't reflect my programming experience. I did start with a CPM PET in 1978/79, but then went on years later to do other things.
Perhaps, and I realise this may be a revolutionary thought, this is not somewhere systemd needs to exert itself. The `system-preset` interface is barely any better than `policy-rc.d` from the point of view of someone installing a package.

I have it. I'm pretty introspective, too. I'd say it's almost certainly physical in many if not most cases. I can actually feel that. The thoughts and mental energy normally ran smoothly through my mind. After injury to back & center, especially the stress of it, it's as if a shockwave went through my mind blowing fuses or something. That's best way I can describe feeling and effect. Certain paths and things just aren't there or light up when they shouldn't. The wiring from input(s) to outputs(s) is broken where it's no longer performing the function it should.

Far as stress aspect, it similarly ignites electrical and biochemical activity that flows through sensitive parts of the brain. We know those parts organize themselves expecting certain flows or weights. I'd default on position that they could be damaged by overflows slamming them. They'd get damage resulting in impaired function with rerouting of sorts attempted. The result would be replacing that function or maybe new + old happening side-by-side with old still broken. Would explain intermittent failures that seem to relapse to an imprint of whatever caused the stressor.

So, just a few thoughts combining what I learned studying those parts of the brain with my own experience of how a broken one works and doesn't.
My first reaction would be: that must be very (physically) unhealthy. But then you see that Japan's life expectancy is pretty high, around 83 years, and you wonder if it really has a negative impact. I suppose there are other measures of physical health than life expectancy, but still...

In Western terms, I would say it's "bad" from a happiness/relaxation perspective. Not really from the lack of sleep; while I wouldn't say I go as far as the Japanese, I do tend to sleep less than most people... just that all the social machinations around it: e.g. "succumbing" to sleep as a measure of looking virtuous/like a hard worker in front of your peers, for example. I find things like that exhausting and the need to do that would significantly decrease my level of happiness.

But that's just it: happiness is subjective. What makes me happy or unhappy need not be even remotely related to what makes someone else the same. As much as I may think it's weird or undesirable, all that really matters is that the people who live like that are happy with their lives. It's only a problem if they're not.
As much fun as the long thread now dangling beneath your post is, it also misses the point. The point is that all of what yummyfajitas posted can be backed up with peer-reviewed reliable research. As for the fact that many, most, or even all of them can also be contradicted by reliable peer-reviewed research, well, it may win the battle but lose the war to argue that. If science can produce peer-reviewed contradictory research... and it most assuredly can, because that's basically by design and broadly a good thing... then on what basis do you attack the public for the preference it shows for one side or another of the peer-reviewed research?

If I or the public in general agree with a position that only 30% of the "real scientists" in a field hold, am they "mistrusting science"? 10%? 5%? 1%?

That's actually an interesting question, I think. I certainly don't have a great answer as to how to draw the line. At least one can make a confident declaration at 0%. But the easy answers beyond that don't work, because there isn't an obvious algorithm that says how to convert collections of scientific papers into truth.

I myself have had some "big bets" out on major sciences being wrong for a while now, and at least one of them has metaphorically paid off; I've had a marker on "the dominant nutritional science of the day is majorly wrong" for about 13 years now. That would be the dominant nutritional science of the 1990s, with "excessive fat is the cause of obesity" being the primary claim, along with assorted other things. That the 1990s was wrong seems to be becoming the dominant position now at just about the maximum rate it can without anyone having to ever admit they were wrong. (Note that as a negation, I'm not claiming I did or do know what is the correct theory, just that the dominant one was wrong.) Was I "mistrusting science"? There were some scientists who led me in that direction, after all. If I was "mistrusting science", was that bad? Because it apparently wasn't very trustworthy anyhow. It is all-but-100% likely that some major fields of science today are just as wrong. What are they? I've got some thoughts but I can't prove them.

The correct relationship between the public and science is a legitimately difficult problem. It is certainly tempting for establishment (of whatever the appropriate establishment is) scientists to just yell at the public for not believing this or that element of their establishment position, but we must balance this against the fact that we have a looooot of history of establishment scientists being wrong, with at times quite significant consequences. Blind trust would be misplaced. Informed trust is an awfully tall bar. It's a hard problem.

Critiques from Clojure users should really try tradeoff analysis, as Hickey advocates. Which means I should analyze the costs of what I advocate, not just the benefits. For clojure.set/intersection (CLJ-1682?), Alex Miller clearly mentioned the speed consideration — one all users would have to bear. Not to mention spending time on this versus other things.

Also, it was ironic to read elsewhere in the article, "Even more obnoxious, it was closed as wontfix. Apparently a single sentence in the docs is good enough for the Clojure team..." Then in the next paragraph: "I was treated pretty shabbily by..."

(One can go on. Take the headline, "Ignorance or Apathy of Underlying Principles")

Calling hardworking people (who do free work for one's own company) "obnoxious" and ignorant/apathetic seems shabby too. While demanding "fixes" from them, and putting down their "big highlights from the past year or so" (Transit, Transducers, Spec) with a backhanded "These are okay, I guess." I'd never tolerate a client/manager with that attitude about my hard work, and that's someone paying me. No wonder free software maintainers burn out.

Because in cursive writing, the letters are connected - that's something that works in high quality, high effort script fonts. They way they do it is to use OpenType replacement features for various combinations of letters. For example, there are a bunch of a's in one font, and when the OpenType system detects a+n, it chooses the a that is drawn to connect with the n. There also may be different versions of the letters, so that the text gets more rhythm (like naturally written).

It would actually be an interesting machine learning application not only to recognize letters from an actual sample (say a document in cursive writing), but also to understand how the letters connect and then create a cursive font based on that.
> Top universities already have plenty of brand recognition and get way more applicants than what they can accept. The monetary value of any additional marketing is probably very close to zero for them.

You can apply that reasoning to any large organization: once it's known/famous for its excellence, an overwhelming majority of their marketing investments have small return. Still, they continue to invest in marketing because they know that this excellence has to be maintained. That's exactly what they should use MOOCs for - and they initially did

Phantom downvotes. Awesome. Don't really care about "karma", but thought this was a place for discussion.

Anyway, what reason do we have to believe that Earth is special 2X? That we happened to have the right conditions plus some randomness occurred against all odds that gave rise to life? Why is that a rational proposition?

We know the chemical elements and processes that give rise to life, and we know why Earth is a suitable place. I suggest that, given the right (e.g. Earth-like) conditions, formation of life is not only more likely than the existence of the conditions, but the formation of life may even be likely overall. Hawking has expressed this possibility. [0]

There is fossil evidence suggesting that some forms of life existed on Earth as few as 500 million short years after it was formed. So, what are the odds that one astronomically improbable event (creation of a hospitable environment) was followed in such a short period by another alleged astronomically improbable event (abiogenesis)?

> It's the extreme stuff that gets you in trouble: racial slurs, death threats, pulling rank (I'm a Riot employee I'm going to ban you BLEEEEEEEP).

I appreciate the context - this wasn't really super clear from the article. It's completely nuts that anyone would behave this way on a Riot-named account.

Was this sort of behavior prevalent? I'm honestly surprised it's never come up. If I was in a game and witnessed a Riot employee going off on players with racial slurs and death threats - that most certainly would have been screenshot and reddit frontpage worthy.

Either way, specifics aside this sort of behavior is obviously completely unacceptable in a place of employ (of which a company sponsored account is an extension).

The article is thin on details, does this mean it deletes photos out of your Google Photos and Apple Camera Roll apps? It seems to be written a bit FUDdy, but it is Facebook afterall, they're known to violate the social contract they have with users frequently.
The political left distrusts science that could conceivably be corrupted by corporate interests. The political right distrusts science that looks like it might undermine corporate (and church) interests.
Because checks to avoid some kinds of garbage can incure significant performance penalty. There is always a tradeoff in that sense, and I think Clojure is pretty well balanced in that way. So, read the docs, try the functions out to see how they work, write tests, and sanitize the data at the appropriate place.
I doubt that handedness really matters for these kind of tasks, but of course everyone has their preferences.

>They are simply the same thing.

Not really, not in any useful way. To draw an analogy to computers, a "lesioned" transistor can be expected to produce an entirely different class of bug than an incorrect line of code. While a missing semicolon is technically a case of misplaced electrons, it really wouldn't be helpful to think of it in the same way you would think of 50,000V of misplaced static charge.
Apparently the last one is a sum of the previous results, so it looks like they made some kind of calculation error there.

> To build it outside of clojure ecosystem, you would need to first build all the pieces of the clojure ecosystem

That's simply untrue, and even the author's conclusions contradict your point. You can already do all of these things with just javascript. And if you're arguing that javascript has rebuilt the entire clojure ecosystem, then what is the non-aesthetic case for clojure?

I like clojure a lot and I've made a few toy projects with it, but I see its primary value as helping me write better code in all languages I use.
Why did he have to leave academia to start a company if he has tenure?
It's still a useful distinction. That's like saying all software is hardware because the bits and bytes are stored in magnetic moments on hard drives etc... Or that biology and chemistry are the same thing because all living things are made of chemicals. Sure, there's some overlap, but the fields are still very distinct.

Not to mention that the physiology of the mind isn't very well known. Physicalism of the mind isn't unanimously accepted in philosophy.

In many offices, the majority of the employees start at about 10 am or even later. Also, most people people prefer to go home using public transportation, which stops relatively early (in most places, between midnight and 1:00 am). Extroverts like to socialize, introverts less so. Personally, I fall into the latter camp, but I usually find it to be invigorating and educational when I do "participate." Those with families often "bow out" (no pun intended), although I can see that with some groups, there might be peer pressure. If one has a long commute, that can be a perfect excuse to not participate or to leave early.
