Again. Only Americans are conditioned to value and cherish their self esteem. That was my statement.

Other cultures do not put any emphasis on self esteem (and many consider it as something shameful to even talk about it).

I knew a guy who joined the US Marines and talked about how he wanted to "shoot towel heads." I don't believe that the US armed forces are purely virtuous at the top, bottom, or in between levels. There likely is a non-zero number of service men/women who get some sort of sick joy out of murdering non-Americans.
No, the Japanese in China acted pretty much the same way as the various armies marauding through Germany in the 30 years war or the various armies in the Congolese Civil War, come to that. And part of the reason the Japanese fought so hard against the Americans in the final days of WWII was that they assumed that they'd be getting the same treatment they'd be dishing out if they let America occupy their cities.

This is awesome. I was just thinking about something that could be even more awesome: if someone produced an HDMI to MIPI CSI adapter - that would allow e.g. a RasPI to have an "HDMI in" port.
I'd like to chime in for future readers of this thread, a passive observation. In 2016 Seattle tech, I hear the "dots not feathers" formulation (or rarely the reverse), at least monthly, always in professional settings and nearly always used by a person in describing him or herself. Subjectively it would ring very odd and impolite to hear it from someone not describing his own ethnicity.
I agree with you, depending on the implementation.

Many people replying seem to think you are advocating the execution of every man and woman who work for the company. I suspect that's not what you mean.

But how do you execute the entity economically?

To me, the right way to do it would be for the US government to take ownership of all the stock, and for the stock to be resold under a new corporate name. A criminal trial should then take place, with the C-suite officers and board of directors under scrutiny regarding their roles in the decisions, with clemency/immunity given to engineers and laborers for their full and complete testimony.

The only way the behavior changes is if you sanction it with meaningful consequences.
This.

BJJ is probably the most useful for self-defense (personal opinion), but it's also the most complicated to learn. It covers ground fighting better than wrestling or judo, which is where many situations will eventually end up. If I had to pick one, excluding MMA (which is basically a combination of everything listed), I would make it this.

Wrestling and judo for takedowns and takedown defense. Judo is more complicated and difficult to learn than wrestling (imo), but, depending on your age and physique, wrestling may be of limited use to you (a 50+ year old will likely have trouble applying many of the wrestling takedowns). A lot of what you'd need from these two would be covered in a BJJ school anyway, just with less time and focus spent on those areas.

Boxing and kickboxing to learn how to defend yourself from strikes. Again, depending on age and phyisque they may otherwise be of limited use, since an older or smaller person is unlikely to be punching with knockout power, and would run a higher risk of breaking bones in their hands when striking.

An MMA school would tend to cover all of that, but they may be more focused on competition than self-defense, which will affect what they teach you and how you train. Same problem with BJJ schools - a lot are more concerned with tournaments than self-defense, which can change the focus of your practice considerably.

There is a lot of written material on the web site. Yet, I still don't understand the value proposition or how or when I might use the service. Usually, I try looking at the documentation but I could not find any.

>They'll still get hit hardest. Weak pound means more expensive imports. UK imports ~40% of it's food

I can think of one rule which will get revoked in that case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-aside

Much like Russia (which suffered a much worse currency slump and also imports a lot of food), the UK will likely roll with it and engage in import substitution.

>Speaking to your point on competition as well - if the UK wishes to join the EU free market they will most likely need to accept freedom of movement.

That's clearly the deal the remainers wanted to take but if I recall correctly they lost.

We have a Geneva Convention, and international norms against nuclear weapons, which are also pretty good deterrents themselves (we hope).

Just like nuclear powers sometimes wage limited conventional wars, it's possible to imagine a set of international laws and norms where disputes would be resolved by virtual conflicts without escalation to armed force.

Advances in robotic war machines could make them so fearsome they deterred real-world armed conflict in favor of virtual conflict. (Of course, that's what they said about the machine gun before WW1)
Involuntary manslaughter and criminal negligence already have plenty of case law around them. Yes, you can be prosecuted for being a menace to society whether you meant to or not.
Some C++ programmers, perhaps. But I've just explained why `empty` & `clear` are ambiguous. Even if `empty` & `clear` can never be removed from the STL containers, there's no requirement that these ambiguous names must be propagated to new code.

But focusing exclusively on these two names is missing the forest for the trees. These two names are just a particularly striking example that illustrates the benefit of prefixes. A codebase that applies useful prefix naming will be an easier codebase to understand.

And applying prefix naming consistently will also make it easier for a new developer to contribute to a codebase, since there will be no ambiguity about what to name new functions, nor what to expect them to be named. `is_empty` & `make_empty` would simply be part of that consistency.

octobercms.com is based on Laravel
How is that different on multi-repos ? The total amount of code is the same. You also need to keep build environments(not one but several), dependency management is much harder,etc.

I would say that any large project needs a "very strong culture around testing and deep, continuous investment in infrastructure and tools"

I'd argue Laravel and Symfony's development are tightly coupled to a single person / company (Taylor Otwell / SensioLabs). If CMS & ecommerce are a big portion of this project I'd easily pick WordPress. The only requirement it fails to meet is "no php code in templates". WordPress meets all the other criteria and it is generally great for spinning up a MVP.
Using intermediate variables is one of the most underrated tools to make code more understandable. It's the definition of something completely unnecessary from a technical standpoint that is all about conveying meaning and clarity to other programmers. And it can be used to help group and "modularize" chunks of code within a routine without necessarily going to the extreme of pulling out a separate subroutine, which can be overkill in some circumstances.

>The mathematical model of Fuzzy Trees is nice, but this is completely ad-hoc to the specific modelization of the problem, and will fail to generalize to any other problem space.

Well, why should it? No one is inventing HAL-like AI anytime soon, or ever. If this system does a better job of killing the enemy than human pilots then its quite the breakthrough. Projecting air power is one of the ways countries keep aggressors away and this would be quite an advantage for variety of reasons. Not the least of which means you can now design AI driven fighters that have zero design compromises to keep human pilots alive.

I imagine fighter engagement consists of a fairly limited set of problems to solve. Think of this as just a souped up autopilot/autoland system, except with guns and missiles. We're not asking the AI to write the next Romeo and Juliet here.

Make sure your headset and device (phone?) both support HFP1.6 or above (which supports wideband speech/HD voice) which makes the sound quality semi-decent

Please stop editing your posts 40 minutes after you initially post them in order to muddle the post history. You're literally removing entire posts and adding completely new things, even as responses to responses. Work on your netiquette.

> Also, funny that you did not respond to my accusation that you believe that type systems are only for "validity checking". Which suggests that I was right.

No, not responding to something does not mean "you were right". I think strong static type systems are useful in many ways and I've already told you repeatedly that I prefer them. I have literally no care in the world what you assume about me.

Can you confidently say that you've given even one clear reason why it's better to use static typing over dynamic typing in this thread? You've gone on one rant about the fact that you can build a dynamic type system on top of a static one, but haven't actually presented even one fact about why it's better to use static typing over dynamic typing.

No one, in their next project, is going to build a dynamic type system in their static one, and then jerk off over that fact, when they could just start working on their ACTUAL project. Would you recommend to someone choosing between static and dynamic typing to start with a static one and then build their dynamic one on top of that?

Your posts are full of bullshit, stupid assumptions and personal attacks. I only wish you'll realize what a disservice it does to acceptance of your opinion and how hard it is to agree with you even while holding much of the same opinion, because you're so insufferable.

Excellent point, and totally accurate.

There is also the issue that those who would tend to spend less on insurance (more likely to be poor) would be considered dead sooner (all else being equal) than a wealthy person, which might alarm some people, even though the majority of the time the wealthy person is merely tortured for a few days before he/she finally dies.
If the methods you are creating are private and for the purpose of segmenting a block of code, you really shouldn't be testing it directly, as it almost certainly won't be part of your public API.
I think a good number of us do and a good number do not. There is a world divide right now and you may have laid your finger on what the difference is.
Ironically, those who believe all men are created equal are loathe to divide from the rest, so it's an awkward divide.
Depending on how much data you need to transfer between the two devices, I'd highly recommend a pair of ZigBee radios for low-bandwidth (<250k), super-low-power applications. Specifically using a pair of XBee (series 1) radios in "transparent" mode, you get what looks like a serial device on either end. When used with a USB dongle, you can simply write your code to use basic ioctl ops on the USB device file, which works well across most POSIX platforms.

Berlin is a really cheap city by European standards for developed countries, I live in Stockholm and just went two weekends straight to Berlin (I really love the city), basically if you work with software you're well off.

Food, drinks, entertainment, everything is cheap, your salary will be around €50~55k/year, that means you'll probably get close to €3k/month after taxes, rent is raising but it's still cheap for an European capital (between €700~1.2k depending on what you are looking for) and probably around €150 for utilities (maybe a little less, I'm basing on the numbers a friend who's moving there has been telling me).

Plenty of job openings, every day I check them and there are tons of new openings on LinkedIn, SO Careers, Landing.jobs, etc.

Overall seems to be a great city to live if you like urban gritty cities, I personally love it and plan to move there next year if possible.

Probably you can regret it if you are looking for a calm city to live in, Berlin is very alive and kicking all the time, the Germans I know from Berlin are among the friendliest people I've know in my life (and I'm Brazilian).

And knowing German seems to help a lot, the locals mostly know English but they can be a bit shy to speak it all the time so when you eventually end up with a bunch of Germans they'll be speaking German between them.

Please, if someone see any misinformation correct me as I'm very interested to know better.

Disagree. Typically, in this scenario, you're using some kind of protocol to communicate. In our case, it's protobufs: they are in fact one of the prime sources of breakages between repos, and one of the main reasons I wish we had a monorepo. Same would be true of json schemas, etc.

Servo would be more compelling for use with commercial software if had MIT or Apache license. The MPL isn't as bad as GPL but still isn't as generous to the developer as MIT or Apache. With the right license, Servo would be a slam dunk for replacing CEF in commercial software that prohibits reversing or tampering.
Increase in unsprung weight is also bad for suspension[1] and handling[2].

Here's something they don't mention in the article: the location of the mass in the wheel has a direct relationship to torque. The same mass located in the hub will take less torque to move than if the mass were located in the rim. So acceleration could in part be improved merely by relocating mass in the wheel. (But that's just wheel acceleration torque; you'll still need to do the same amount of work to move the same total mass of the bike at the same speed)

Also, for the same weight tire rubber, wider tires would create increased friction and slow the tire down more.

Good article, but the spreadsheet/database skills did not seem to be the real story. Yes, very useful, and powerful, but LOTS of people have developed those skills. Instead, I found myself asking, "Where did the data come from?" He asked for it. Who did he ask? The power of the story seemed to me to be that he asked a powerful question, figured out how to get the data to answer that question, and then figured out what skills he'd need to sift the data.

HN does not allow to continue a thread below a certain threshold.

This is not what I was talking about. Learn to read.

My point is that you do not understand what does it mean that a bigger type system is providing new semantics for the language. You still fail to understand it, obviously, because this is a central point of my proof, which you failed to comprehend.

> No one, in their next project, is going to build a dynamic type system in their static one, and then jerk off over that fact, when they could just start working on their ACTUAL project.

Take a look at pretty much any code in static languages - it is almost always doing exactly this: various degrees of dynamic typing on top of static. Sometimes it is ugly, sometimes it is done the right way (LLVM is a good example of this approach).

> Would you recommend to someone choosing between static and dynamic typing to start with a static one and then build their dynamic one on top of that?

Even you somehow heard something about the gradual typing - which is exactly an example of this.

> Your posts are full of bullshit, stupid assumptions and personal attacks.

Omg. I'm only responding to your attacks. You're an uninformed and incompetent side in this argument, not me.
Depending on projects I'd choose between Laravel & WordPress. I like the simplicity of these 2 systems.

Gee, I thought building software for Windows was Microsoft's core competency.

I suppose then that you must also think that Wine is just some shady "Open Source tactic" to try and get Windows users on Linux?

Maybe you prefer your half-assed software to come from Apple or from the general crowd of Open Source developers. That you have seething hatred for Microsoft is obvious though. Did they kill your pappy?
That would be great if people always used versioning correctly. I deal frequently with breaks caused by simple things like renaming, removing, or re-ordering protobuf fields in one repo, and not updating code in another. At least in a monorepo you can catch those sorts of errors.
nice to see that you apply said guidelines evenly. but hey - go ahead and let everyone down-vote because they simply disagree - which is AGAINST the guidelines...

It does matter, but AIs could fly different fighter jets from the ones human pilots fly with in future. Smaller, more maneuverable, they could have a sizable technological advantage. If they are comparable today they'll be no match for fighter jets limited by the presence of human pilots. Ground to air missiles will become more important for countries with no military AI capabilities.
