Japanese Emperor to Abdicate
They could have waited for him to escape through the ventilation systems and kill more people? They could have waited for him to detonate the entire building and bring it down on everybody’s head, with more police inside and media watching? Either are possibilities they could have waited for and everyone would be second guessing those scenarios just like people are second guessing this one now. I don’t like the idea of robot bombs killing people, but when someone is shooting at police and not negotiating, I do support them taking out the threat and wouldn’t call it murder. Self-defense or defending innocents are probably better terms. And your statement that they would have waited if he was a different race is ridiculous. So you know better what would have happened than the african american chief of the Dallas police? You’re not helping the situation in this country by making these uninformed statements.

As you'll see if you look above, it was you who brought about the size of the sensor when critiquing my comment, which was addressing resolution.

You also seem to feel the need to defend Juno, as if I was attacking it somehow, so I don't think this conversation can be very productive.

As a self-employed developer I have an ACA plan and I can tell you first-hand it feels like a total fraud. I pay $300/month but also have a $6k deductible, which means the plan doesn't really pay for anything until I've already spent $6k out of pocket. I have no problem with a $6k or even $20k deductible because I work hard to remain healthy but then my premiums for what is essentially a catastrophic policy should be much lower (around $75/month). Fortunately I can afford the extra amount, but I can see how it would be extremely painful for a family at the median income. My MD friends tell me the economics are based on people who work diligently to improve their health subsidizing people who could care less and actively sabotage themselves (e.g. non-compliant diabetics who eat like crap and don't medicate...not even diabetics as a whole). Unless and until the conversation about personal responsibility starts it seems hopeless. Whatever Obamacare started out trying to be, it has been twisted into something else and badly needs reform.
Um... are you responding to a different thread? I believe that we're in agreement here. It's the original poster who thinks that once a corporate entity has laid claim to a word, other people should feel obligated to avoiding using it.

Unfortunately for Unity, they don't make any more money on a hit game than on a big-budget failure. All that matters is how many seat licenses they sell. Selling developer tools is not a great business.
I’d probably create a class that lets me schedule intervals on its instance, and call `this.scheduler.dispose()` in `componentWillUnmount()`. I don’t think accidentally forgetting to dispose of it is a big problem as it’s easy to catch in a code review. But if it concerns you, HOC could work for this as well. In the future, we might build some helpers for this into React itself.
I think the OP's point was that you can argue against parallel construction even more effectively if you can demonstrate a case where the hidden side of the parallel construction isn't even illegal can already be problematic, you have a stronger argument against it.

Going to have to disagree. The agile manifesto's principles [1]:

1. Customer satisfaction by early and continuous delivery of valuable software

3. Working software is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months)

4. Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers

5. Working software is the principal measure of progress

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development#The...

In fact, the only parts of it orthogonal to continuous delivery are

5. Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted

6. Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (co-location)

9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design

10.
Simplicity—the art of maximizing the amount of work not done—is essential

11.
Best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams

12. Regularly, the team reflects on how to become more effective, and adjusts accordingly

And aside from (maybe) embracing remote work, I don't see those things going away anytime soon. I certainly wouldn't want to work somewhere that rejects them.

We could stand to lose the name, but probably not the ideas.

I often leave off tests for strictly "synchronous" actions like `return { ...currentState, newProp }`. Most of my tests are for confirming that the right paths are taken for actions that trigger one or more async operations to ensure correct failure case handling.
I work remotely, and I use Slack to keep an open dialog with my team. I used HipChat before that. They both have their upsides for this use case, but I think that it's basically a great tool for what I'm doing. I can easily see how wide use of Slack at a large company could get overwhelming quickly, but that's not so much Slack's fault (HipChat would do the same thing) as much as a general probelm of communication.
Maybe a merge with Valve. So they will become the platform to build and to sell the games. They will have all the developers and resources on the game development world.
It is, and this is a problem that's plauged auto safety advances. When ABS was introduced people started following so much closer that they more than made up for the stopping distance advantage. Now we have advanced cruise control systems, and some people more than make up for the safety advance by not watching where they are going.
Not controversial, just useless compared to other valuations methods that have utility
That's true of all I/O benchmarks, even those which try to do things like call fsync since the lower layers often lie about whether something was committed to durable storage. The only way to do benchmarks reliably is still to make sure that you're reading/writing data which is much larger than the available cache.

In the case of dd, the real reason why it's often a misleading benchmark is that it's the best-case scenario: full-size streaming I/O where each block is only accessed once. Some applications do have that kind of operations pattern but most don't and can see very different performance characteristics because they depend on things like file creation/deletion overhead, random I/O within an open file, read and write contention if the same file is being accessed by multiple processes, etc.
Exactly. (An unhedged short call option to be more precise.) And a startup is a long call option. So a startup can bootstrap itself to a certain level of success by mortgaging its higher-upside states.

What Research Says About the Relationship Between Practice and Expertise
That's why I think the European concept of "right to be forgotten" is deeply flawed. I understand that they're trying to protect people from being negatively judged using outdated information, but the problem lies in the judgement, not the information. A better alternative would be "right to be not given a damn about".
Thank you for the very insightful comment.

This is yet another example of what I call the "Hollywood-ization of tech", where the industry (we?) are trying to sort out the relative value of being attached to something big vs. money vs. relationships.

I think our industry is maturing. I see it all around me. The industry-wide career ladder is starting to solidify, we're getting more concerned about credentials/pedigree, salaries are going way up, people are getting more concerned about their "careers", etc. I don't know that it'll ever get to the point of, say, law or banking, but it's a hell of a lot closer than it was 15-20 years ago, when there was much more of a "homesteading" feel to everything, and the suggestion that software could be a prestigious career choice was the last thing on anyone's mind.

To be clear, I don't know if any of this is good or bad, but it's definitely happening.
> I don't see a scientific theory here at all. To be called science, it needs to have a hypothesis and be falsifiable

Let me explain it for you:

Hypothesis / Theory: The keys on the keyboard are laid out in their particular queer way because of X.

Evidence: (1) the Major Scale, (2) the Standard Chord Dictionary, and (2) the difference between the Major and Minor Triads.

Falsifiability: Do any of the evidence in 1, 2, and 3 fit the theory?

Fitness test: How simple is the theory, as compared to competing theories? How many assumptions (aka "free parameters") are there?

The author explains how competing theories have more assumptions and free parameters that his theory does not require.

This is clearly science. It's just written in a different style than you're accustomed to. Please read and critique the content of the article. If you so firmly believe that it isn't science, then you should be able to easily refute it using science, rather than just superficially (superstitiously) claiming "That's not science! You don't understand!"

Prove it! Critique the content, man!

> The Irish aren't, never have been, opposed to Britain, Great Britain & North Ireland nor the United Kingdom

"The Easter Rising (Irish: Éirí Amach na Cásca),[2]

also known as the Easter Rebellion, was an armed insurrection in Ireland during Easter Week,

April 1916. The Rising was launched by Irish republicans to end British rule in Ireland

and establish an independent Irish Republic while the United Kingdom was heavily engaged

in World War I. It was the most significant uprising in Ireland since the rebellion of 1798,

and the first armed action of the Irish revolutionary period."

No we've known and said it for a long time but not very loudly. People haven't used them sparingly and they tend to infect a codebase. Now we're just making a more concerted effort to communicate more broadly that they can be bad.
This is surprisingly common with any chat app. I'm sure Whatsapp users are familiar with groups (with family, friends or coworkers) where everyone just sits and blabs on and on and it becomes a nuisance (especially with large group sizes).

Also because chat is so informal, everyone posts needlessly (shoot from the hip with no consideration for whether you're wasting someones' time)

One solution is the judicious use of @ (in Hipchat at least). People should also consider chat to be informal mail rather than chat when you're in the office.

> Ignoring bad control schemes

That's the whole point. Mobile devices aren't the perfect platforms for gaming. They have the worst control scheme, which makes it all but impossible to pull off great games in "traditional" genres (platformers, shooters; in fact, now that I think about it, anything with a movable camera). So we get new things that don't require a decent controller, but have the gameplay dumbed down to compensate.

This is why the 3DS still sells. It's incredibly difficult to put out a good AAA game on a phone (and forget about selling it for a reasonable price).
Having lived in Japan on and off for the past decade, this is just par for the course for a Japanese company. If you wanted to get anything done, it's done via fax. God knows why, that's just how it is. Everywhere.

Since they are not part of the standard, we are not going to take a stance on them yet. We do, however, think that it is very risky to adopt experimental language features unless they are very simple (like object spread operator). In my personal experience people often misunderstand how decorators work, and the tooling often breaks, so I would not recommend them with React yet.
> I had a mild argument with my son about Uber (he is a fireman and a union guy). He thinks that Uber is really unfair to union taxi drivers who jump through some hoops to get licensed, etc.

I have multiple problems with ridesharing services:

1) They foist the risk off onto the contractors while keeping all the profit themselves. They could have been a well-run national taxi company that serviced suburbs (and would have had STAUNCH defenders), but that won't get you unicorn valuations.

2) Most of them are using VC money to subsidize the ride costs. This is fine--until they run out of money. Then the cities will be left to pick up the pieces when suddenly there aren't enough taxi drivers anymore to service the demand. Uber and Lyft actually tried to use this as leverage in Austin to get their way politically. So, the threat is not theoretical. These companies are not trying to service the customer; they are trying to become the taxi monopoly.

3) Uber/Lyft/etc. drivers often don't comply with local laws surrounding carriage services. This includes licensing and insurance but also includes simple things like "Where in the airport am I allowed to pick someone up?" I have had a not-insignificant fraction of drivers who simply don't know where they are going--especially if "surge pricing" pulled them in from an area outside their usual haunts.

4) I have a problem with Uber, specifically. It seems like it's run by a bunch of nasty, rich, party boys and their treatment of people they regard as beneath them is absolutely disgusting.

I like the fact that the ridesharing services have forced most cities to start issuing more taxi permits. I like the fact that the ridesharing services function in the suburbs where taxis won't go(mostly--I have had some misses). I like the ridesharing services when they lobby for laws attempting to break the taxi monopolies.

So, my verdict is still out.

Exactly. They're just de facto protected by overly police-friendly prosecutors and juries.
This part only affects the underinsured.

Let's say you have some crazy medical test, like an MRI. It costs roughly $2,000 to run the test (totally random number out of my hat). If a hospital is negotiating a contract with an insurance company, and says "An MRI costs $2,000 here" the insurance company will say "We will pay you $500".

So, to make sure they can be correctly compensated by insurance carriers they instead say "An MRI costs $8,000", the insurance company will then say "Okay, we will pay you $3,000". It's total luck to get the correct amount, so you will usually WAY over compensate and end up getting more than you NEED to be reimbursed in return, just to provide a safety net for insurance carriers messing around with you.

Under most cases people with amazing low-deductible plans are fine, they pay their $500 deductible for the year plus 20% of the remaining and make off quite well for the procedure. People with high deductible plans (like mine) get screwed, I would end up having to meet my $2,500 deductible and then pay 20% after that (up to my annual out of pocket max, which is $5000).

Because hospitals have to play this stupid game with insurance companies, it's rare that you can get charged the "real" price of any procedure or lab time. People without insurance can negotiate extremely discounted rates based on financial need, but if you are underinsured you are stuck with whatever contracted rate the facility has with your insurance company.

Shared screen session? Are you referring to GNU screen, and suggesting that we collaborate on some sort of mainframe setup? That sounds like a really interesting idea, like that crazy shared tabletop interface the Wayland guys have been promising.

Right now, my setup is: watch the loudest person's screenshare on my small screen (1080p) and do everything else on the main screen (4K). Git push to a WIP branch every few minutes. It makes for an interesting git history, for sure.
The issue is that 1 data point does not point to either side. You can neither make a strong nor a weak claim for either side, because the sample size is too insignificant.

If I flip a coin twice with one head and one tail as the result, we cannot say whether or not the coin is fair. Even with both heads or both tails as the result, we still do not have enough information. It's best to just say that we need more data.
