It's hard to say whether that "wasting money on products no one wants" is a positive or negative economic impact. Curiously, this "spent" money would be income for somebody else and would actually show up as positive GDP, so fewer attempts at starting companies would be a economically negative.

This is related to which side of the "broken windows fallacy" you subscribe to.
Neat.

So does it have SUPDUP support? ;)

In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer: The “Chevalier Incident”
When Bill Gates was at the helm he skated a fine line of legalities in order to build a sustained monopoly. The ecosystem continued to evolve as his priorities shifted away from Microsoft and none of his replacements were able to adapt as dynamically as Bill did.

Ballmer is the pinnacle example of this arrogance without evidence attitude. It's like the ghost of corporate Bill Gates will guide and give luck no matter how stupid the decision they make.

It's sad because Microsoft could've evolved gracefully into a behemoth larger than Apple and Google, if only there had been an ounce of humility after Bill Gates left.
So what you're saying is, we should dismiss evidence that makes Trump look bad out of hand, because it distracts from the evidence that makes Clinton look bad?

Gotcha. Seems perfectly reasonable.
This time damaged my marriage a lot and things never got back to how they had been previously.

Wow, that sounds drastic. What happened?
Given that my understanding is WhatsApp/Facebook are quite literally unable to comply because the content doesn't exist (yay, E2E encryption!), this is also an absurd, disproportionate response.

But, unlike the usual response of blocking WhatsApp for hundreds of millions of entirely innocent people, this at least keeps this silly little war between the lawyers, where it belongs. If nothing else, a step in the right direction.
Jest 14.0: React Tree Snapshot Testing
Well, wait, you have to measure that against not marrying in the first place, which I presume also comes with pros and cons. The question is whether ExpectedValue(staying single) > ExpectedValue(Getting married given the risk with risk of divorce).

I assume the answer is different for different people.
Thanks for the references! Nightcall by Kavinsky reminds me of Giorgio Moroder - or, transitively, Daft Punk's references to Giorgio Moroder :-)
Despite the (somewhat heated) discussion below, this article is actually quite pointless.

Having good tools does not make you a good craftsman, I'm not sure this is contentious.

I don't think that anyone would argue that (good tools => good craftsman) is valid. This isn't an argument against FP, just the statement that FP cannot transmute a bad programmer into a good one.

I don't think this is the reason. We let it slide over the last 10 years when every hack involving a Chinese IP address in any way was attributed to the Chinese government.

Media reporting around cybersecurity doesn't tend to acknowledge that people other than the security services have computers in Russia and China.

It became a meme among hacking victims to blame intelligence agencies, probably because it looks substantially less bad than getting owned by 15-year-olds. We let it pass without comment in dozens of cases before this one.

I'm not a fan of the new syntax for struct tuples, struct records, and struct unions. I feel like it could have been avoided with a lesser evil if they had followed the same approach that Scala is using for anonymous functions in the upgrade to 2.12.

Specifically, don't introduce new syntax, but force your users to deal with the fact that your bytecode is now incompatible with previous versions and now requires a new minimum version for the VM. They can recompile...it's not really that big of a deal. It is far more of a big deal to rewrite all of your code than it is to upgrade your VM and recompile.
Infidelity is more often a symptom than the actual root of the problem. While some people just can't help themselves, more often what happens is one or both aren't getting the support they need from their spouse and they start looking elsewhere because of it. Then cheating, fighting, divorce. Not really an excuse, so much as an observation.
Yeah, but they were straight, so it's fine.

Naming a Navy ship after a gay man clearly signals the end of the Republic.
> Men haven't had that liberation; a large part of society still believes in specific roles and responsibilities for men that coupled females are (at their option) exempted from. This probably leads to increased stress to both individuals and also an increased risk of negative feedback loops for the situation and everyone involved.

Sadly that role restructuring, when driven by men, is still almost universally derided. Look at the men's rights movement or mgtow. The trope of the basement dwelling virgin is immidately deployed to minimize their concerns. Feminism isn't the tool needed. Men need to drive their role in society. Society just isn't ready for it.

EDIT: heavily down voted, almost makes my point for me.
I've seen similar numbers. I'd be curious to see how becoming an entrepreneur affects this. Practically every entrepreneur I know over the age of 40 has divorced.
And yet -

"They didn't get along" hides a lot of complexity, since a lot of concrete things can put strain on a relationship and then the couple "doesn't get along". In fact, this practically reduces to a tautology, since deciding to get a divorce means that you're goiong through something severe enough that staying together isn't considered to be the better option.
The headline of the story itself literally reads "Don’t Blame Divorce on Money."
I'm not sure that this account is linked to me in any way, but it was a joke.
I don't think the points are shuffled; the main topic is the infantilization of consumers by companies. Cuteness, targeting products more appropriate for children to adults (like coloring books or Pokemon), etc are simply examples of that broader point. And while this was obviously used since the beginning, was it ever a trend? When was that?
Well, it's two different phenomena wth unfortunately similar names. Of course it's going to trip up search engines.

One of my team members built an entire QA tool around this idea. It can load thousands of URLs, run it once, and then after a deploy to the development servers it runs again to generate a visual diff report. A combination of Golang, Node.js(PhantomJS), and some other bits I forget at the moment.

The product managers and content teams love it since they can quickly skim through a report to find visual bugs that may have gone unnoticed otherwise.

You should learn to read better, what I said was "he had modest success post SNL with those movies and a long string of flops" and the "those movies" are referred to are Ghohsbusters, Caddyshack et al, the ones he did right after SNL. There is 10 year period of flops between "Ground Hog Day" and "Lost in Translation." I also stated that. Notice you didn't mention a single movie from that 10 year period? Exactly.

There was nothing smug about either of my replies. There is also nothing ignorant about replies and I'm well aware of his career arc. I'm not even sure what point is but it sounds like you might be upset because I called you out on your presumptuous comment. Grow up.
That's not quite right: you only get your whole surplus extracted as rent in a market with artificial restrictions on housing. Unfortunately for us programmers our top job market happens to be an awful housing market, but that seems to be an accident of history -- we could've ended up somewhere else with rents that are high but not ridiculous. That's how Bay Area rents seemed to me 15 years ago.
However the true from of feminism is a recognition and reconstruction based around /all/ gender roles being bad for mental health, emotional health, and positive relations among individuals.

I believe this in the same sense that all food and your metabolism is bound to kill you in the long term. Utopian social engineering at this scale and depth rarely pans out. It's usually built on very shaky epistemological foundations -- usually a narrative about how utterly terrible the current social order is and a vague sense that there should be something better possible. This is not to say that all utopian social engineering is bad or wrong.

Utopian social engineering experiments are a lot like startups. There are generally a lot of them popping up all the time. Often, they seem wonderful and magical to a small number of people for awhile. Sometimes, they scale and stay around for awhile, appearing to be magical and of-the-future for somewhat more people for a while longer. It's only rarely they become forces that change society and really last.

Exactly what empirical data is this assertion based on? -- "/all/ gender roles being bad for mental health"
You say "is" as though they haven't changed CEO's, undergone a complete organization rehaul, and oriented toward cloud services in the ensuing six years.
Maybe I (or you or both of us) have a wrong understanding of soundness. I understand it as follows - the specification of a programming language (or its implementation) is sound if the guarantees made a compile time hold at runtime for all inputs. The guarantee for calling a method on a reference in Java is that you either invoke that method or a NullPointerException gets thrown in case the reference is a null reference.

After thinking about it again, unless you made an error in the specification or implementation, every programming language should actually be sound. You can always weaken your guarantees until they (trivially) hold at runtime. But that actually worries me a bit, soundness suddenly seems not such a useful concept. Maybe because I am wrong with my understanding?

Note that this also possibly contradicts what I wrote previously, I may not have thought carefully enough about some of the things.
Most of the action happens in this file: https://github.com/pirapira/coq2rust/blob/rust/plugins/extra...

I have considered attempting to write a few code extraction plugins for Coq, but I took a long look at the extraction plugin for Scala (https://bitbucket.org/yoshihiro503/coq2scala/src/1657d65c747...) and lost all courage.
> if the husbands a dick about his job it's a different matter

I'm not sure why you're convinced that the husband's behavior is the causal link (if there is one: the headline implies there is though the study only shows a correlation). I find it just as easy to imagine that, just as gender roles downplay women's potential contributions in the workforce, they reduce men to workhorses in family and relationships. It could just as easily be the wife being a dick about having an unemployed husband (as the article mention, financial strain per se was controlled for). I personally had a friend in high school who had really rich parents and whose dad retired early and was a stay-at-home dad (his mom was employed as an executive at a big bank). I would hear about him getting shit for being stay-at-home dad despite the fact that everybody in the family (himself included) was really happy with the arrangement.
It doesn't matter what SJWs see, what matters is the potential for a company damaging lawsuit if they did nothing and left him in place. I'm sure media concerns factored in, but not as much as legal costs.
If I was holding MSFT stock and they didn't have grand ambitions or shoot for the stars, I'd sell. Same goes for most companies.
I think high-res ("retina") screens are an interesting line.

Some people cannot perceive the difference. What I think is interesting is that others think they can't see any difference, but in fact they can, if you actually test them (we did this at work a couple years ago). But they don't care at all.

And then others (like me) cannot stand to use a low-res screen. It works but it's like driving a car with a filthy windshield covered in grime and birdshit.

How XTerm Is Tested
Apple Rejecting Hillary Apps and Not Trump Apps
I am an IOS game developer on the side and I love making niche games. A couple months ago I made a game about trump and it was a pretty big hit! Last week I made a game about Hillary Clinton that is pretty simple. Her head follows your finger around the screen and you have to run away from the emails and get them in the trash can. Its a pretty fun harmless game. I submitted it to the App Store and it got rejected under the premise of "defaming and mean spirited". I was pretty upset but not as upset as I was after I saw the all of the trump games on the app store. I kid you not, there are games where you poop on him and turn him in to poop - it's pretty ridiculous. I am not a trump supporter, I just think it's stupid that they play the double standard and accept games about Trump and not Hillary
I'm really surprised to see this comment on HN. Maybe dang should nuke this whole story before it gets ugly...
If there is a third factor, that doesn't stop anything else from being a factor.
As it stands Microsoft has basically become a staple commodity. Like proctor & gamble peddling soap products Microsoft peddles products for small/medium corporations. Xbox is the only thing keeping a foothold in the consumer space anymore. But they continue to make predictable money at it.

Yes yes, and you're not a bigot, you just don't think gay people deserve equal rights. Which is totally different.
That's because most languages have roughly equivalent / familiar syntax, thus you don't start out saying "this syntax is a mess" to begin with.

WW3 MAN HAS SAVED THE HUMAN RACE
It sounds like you may not know who Harvey Milk is or what he did. Read up on him, it's interesting stuff.

Really, though, why not just be honest about your intentions? You're a bigot and you think gay rights activists should be reviled, but you're afraid to actually come out and say that, so instead you're coming up with a thin pretext and pretending that's the real reason you're opposed. But you're not fooling anyone, so why not be honest at least?
I wonder. I'd argue that watching an unboxing gives me a much quicker idea of what's really going on than trying to tease out what's the truth from the reviews. ("20 positive reviews. How many are fakes? Let me read the 3 stars, maybe they're better. I'll read the 1 stars and try to assign weight).

Maybe I'm just picky but I find reading/judging Amazon reviews a pain in the ass.
Suddenly everyone's newsfeed has started featuring stories about the polluted Rio Olympics.
It's a disappointing article in that it makes many narrowly focused and unfounded assumptions and one conclusion.

I've recently been doing an indepth study of sexism in Australia starting at 1970.

I've poured over archives (and I'm documenting it) to see how Australia went off the rails with its sexist attitude (eg. Domestic Violence is male only, or a revised false history of voting-who could and when).

What I have noticed is that there were plenty of ads and articles back in the early 70s (eg. One bank advertised its female branch manager with a large photo, quite proudly) that are inclusive, unlike today.
TV adverts had plenty of representation in work, sport, etc. watch the "life be in it" as an example.

I know that there was an inclusive attitude back in the early 70s that we have lost. As an example, check out Science Week, aimed at kids, that has several girls only events and competitions. This sort of sexism was unprecedented from 1970-2000 (and possibly earlier). Also add that all of my female ancestors from 1900 onward held good jobs and were largely financially independent (which contradicts the article saying it didn't really happen before 1975). I've never been able to reconcile the modern story compared to my own family's history. It might be luck.

So, the article concluded that the difference is that women can now work. It ignores depression, stress (non financial), Boredom, lack of self-worth etc. if a person defines themself by a career and that career vanishes, it can turn an individual and their family upside down. I'm not surprised the authors focussed on housework and financial independence and ignored almost everything else as it seems to be the modern trend (ala domestic violence is male only).

I'm curious to see if any media outlets in Australia pick up on the blatant sexism of Science Week (targeted at kids). The last 10 years are proving to be the most sexist (by far) that I've ever seen. I'm doing some research by looking at government, education (which is largely government) and media. I will include photos, videos and loads of references - but it's a big job. It will take time when I am committed to work and family too.
People who spill hateful things from their mouths are labeled hate mongers. No one is pushing an agenda on you or anyone else. The "double standards and special provisions" are necessary to protect a class of people who are subjected to relentless torment at the hands of others who don't think they deserve equal rights.
Same boat, I was picking up almost any job to keep the family afloat, one time I got home and my partner was lying in the couch and crying. I thought it was the impending hardships we were going through so i cuddled and talked her into believing good times were ahead.

Her response was "baby I'm pregnant and I'm not sure its yours"

The rest is history. Luckily I bounced back, the boy was mine but phew..!
>They could have been Apple.

Not really. What we called apps/smartphones/tablets before the iPhone/iPad was not really the same thing.

Steve Ballmer's infamous remarks on competition with Apple, after the iPhone announcement in 2007:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eywi0h_Y5_U

"Let's take phones first. Right now, we're selling millions and millions and millions of phones a year. Apple is selling zero phones a year. In six months, they'll have the most expensive phone by far ever in the marketplace, and, let's see."

Times change.
Facebook is roughly 10 years old... think about that. It's not very long in the grand scheme of things. A lot can happen in 10 years...
Probably overkill, but I'd love to have at least AM and FM into a box on my network which then splits it up and streams via RTSP+SDP.

Fun fact: The rtl2383 which RTLSDR is based on has an undocumented function to dump an entire DAB+ station (10+ channels) at once. Nothing can demux the resulting file and the DAB spec is overwhelming.
I really wish the WP7 idea was fully executed, it seemed like they abandoned the Metro idea midway. I feel like Metro (errr... ModernUI?) was a design language that needed and still needs and all or nothing commitment otherwise it ends up looking like Windows 8, a bit childish. The lack of commitment to the design language and awful app adoption really killed it. Disappointing to watch.
not sure i follow this. said man of peace was a navy officer and the article notes that he died wearing memorabilia from his service. do you have some reason to believe he would have agreed with you?
That's quite the stretch. Magic Leap only got buzz in the first place because a lot of famous people said they were the best thing since sliced bread, and Google Ventures gave them tons of money.

The main reason you don't hear much about them anymore is because they don't show anything.
Just more Russian Propaganda.

On a tangent....

Trump at the moment has Manafort at the helm steering his campaign.

Here is a little about the man in charge.

http://preview.tinyurl.com/jprwsce

> As Roger Stone has boasted about their now-disbanded firm: “Black, Manafort, Stone, and Kelly, lined up most of the dictators of the world we could find. … Dictators are in the eye of the beholder.” Manafort had a special gift for changing how dictators are beheld by American eyes. He would recast them as noble heroes—venerated by Washington think tanks, deluged with money from Congress.

Americans need to be wary, they are in the midst of a Russian hybrid war where information is being used to confuse them and create a situation that is not beneficial for them.
