I am personally acquainted with the dealings of several environmental NGOs. Not climate related, but I extrapolate. And we are talking branches of the biggest NGOs out there.

They have a very big incentive to spread FUD and they do it all the time. They are basically extortion and defamation platforms used as a political lever. At least here. But I very much doubt it's much different elsewhere.

> The original comment mentioned being able to decouple Go code from specific implementations of functionality by relying on self defined interfaces instead of specific functions. pcwalton's example seemed to confuse this point, which I wanted to clarify.

The problem is that you're clarifying the wrong thing, the example is confusing because it trivially proxies a built-in method but the remark is what's important to the reply. Your reply is only confusing things further by considering the flawed example but ignoring the actual point.

> As to that point, your interface types will only match standard library ones if you're trying to unify them.

No, why would you think that? You may want to "compatibilise" multiple third-party types (that some of them are in the standard library is a complete red herring) as well as first-party ones (a mock or whatever) e.g. abstract over stdlib sockets, zmq sockets and sqlite.
I find interesting, in that graph you are linking, that there is a spike in the years of the second world war.

It would be interesting to know if there is causality between human activity in those years and that spike.

If the institutions' only methods for checking the insanity of men is experimental data, and that data only arrives on multi-decade timescales, then the institutions are broken. Furthermore, there are several intuitional changes physics could make to make better use of the meager data they have, but they do not. For example: forcing physicists to go on the record specifically and publicly about predictions (not just the one-off bet), and making hiring decisions based on it.
Even more troubling: we are being punished by what the world did, generations past.

This stuff has, by our standards, long delayed effects.

The implication is disconcerting: a FULL STOP of excessive green house gas emissions right now will have, at best, a notable impact in several decades.

> Parenthetically, if you want to get a Ronald Reagan elected over a Jimmy Carter, this is how you get a Ronald Reagan elected over a Jimmy Carter. You wave a document like this around in front of a TV camera.

That this can work only makes me sad about the intelligence level and sanity of the population. Documents like these don't get crafted because the government has nothing better to do - it's usually a hotfix applied to a hotfix. There's a law, then there's some "entrepreneur" who uses a technicality to get around its spirit, and then the govt needs to patch the exploit. Rinse, repeat. It's not difficult to understand, but sadly, I don't expect most people to do so before outrage instinct kicks in.
I agree that the metaphor was partially useless (perhaps poorly worded) - but it's not much better to think that the issue of choosing programming languages is purely objective. You could spend a very long time arguing whether Ruby or Python was better for a particular task, when the important thing is either of them will do a relatively good job for the task at hand and be a better choice than COBOL.

Shouldn't it be possible to let people do their own blurring for the case where the automatic stuff doesn't work?

There isn't going to be that much to blur if this is all straight ahead views from a car. You don't see many people on the road from lower than car roof level. Those on the sidewalks will be pretty far away. The issue with Google is that the point of view is deliberately made high enough to clear cars in other lanes. So in practice the privacy thing might not a huge issue here unless a significant number of people start mounting cameras on poles.
>No, because these people have done terrible things, and society will not allow them to be redeemed.

Society can do much more than we give it credit for. Not all societies hold primitive eye-for-an-eye beliefs or worse.

>I object to the knee-jerk reaction that the death penalty is inherently bad, in all cases, under any circumstances

Well, societies that abolished it don't think so. At least their legislators and majority don't. Outliers will always think whatever they want (and grieving relatives of victims and such are the last that should be asked in those matters).

For me the death penalty is not different from things like torture, slavery, judicial rape, etc. Wrong under any circumstances.
The world is full of recursive complexities. It's amazing, in its way. Pick any thing you think you know something about and look at it carefully - you'll always discover deeper and deeper levels of knowledge and specialization.
For me, they also tend to throw in large cities like New York and Chicago. A lot of people know someone in a big city and might be willing to pick up an unknown number.
What Makes Your Mobile App Underperform?
I think the response has been pretty clear and near-unanimous. Here's a bullet-point version:

1. It's absurd that an automated process accuses you of trying to intrusions of third parties without providing details of what has been detected. This leaves the "accused party" (your paying customer) without ANY idea what is wrong or how to fix it.

2. The automatic suspension of the entire project within 3 days is similarly out or proportion, especially without Google attempting actual human contact first (a phone call, for example).

3. The appeal-process is apparently literally broken. Even if this weren't the case, disabling a customers entire project in an automated fashion requires WAY more ways of directly reaching Google to prevent this. Give a direct phone number in "emergencies" like this. We know it costs money and training. We expect you to accept this as a cost of doing business.

The above leads to the (at the moment rightful) impression that Google Cloud isn't ready for business, especially not small business. Turning off what could be someone's livelihood is a testament to the (possibly unintentional) arrogance that is widely perceived from Google.

Evolution functions at the level of populations, not individuals. The individual's mandate is always simply to lead their best life. Evolution is a phenomenon that happens on top of that but defines it. Letting go of your dreams of long-run impact on the world's gene pool is just as important as letting go of your dreams about being the greatest entrepreneur of all time. Those dreams are probably making you miserable without improving your life.

As far as capitalism, I disagree. To whatever extent modern capitalism cares about people, it cares enough about mediocre ones to let most of them live modern, comfortable lives in today's society.
If they're significantly cheaper, carry 2 or 3. If you're at a 90% level, you will be almost assured of cheaply having one work, assuming the error/failures are random.

Yes, this is sub-optimal in a life or death situation, but it's a reasonable counter to unreasonably high EpiPen pricing. Moreover, if this becomes common practice or if it's even feared as plausible, it could help reduce EpiPen pricing.
I'm not sure. Many of the countries with the largest emissions per capita are in regions where houses are heated in the winter and cooled in the summer.

Given that indoor temperature is ~ 20C, the ∆T for heating can be much greater than for cooling, since cold outdoor temp can easily go as low as -20C, while really hot weather won't go much above 40C.

Thus, in a warmer climate where you need less heating in winter and more cooling in summer, you might actually end up using less total power for AC.
As well as adding to the already-confusing mess of timezones and date calculations, daylight savings can change frequently, and sometimes at very short notice.

Well said and well done! I think it's important to remember this could be ANY of us, given just one bad turn of events. How would we feel if programming, even new code, was totally automated overnight, how many engineers would be out of jobs? Especially given the high pay scale? If only because that could and very well may be us all one day, we should not let problems like this go unanswered and left for yet the NEXT generation.

This happens if your Apple TV is on the LAN and the WLAN at the same time and they are connected either because they are one network or you use avahi-bridge between them. It thinks the other interface is someone else using the same name so it adds these numbers to make a unique name.

All of this is irrelevant. The GPL stops at the process boundary and that's exactly what these compilers do. They provide the modifications to GCC itself under the GPL and then have separate executables that are proprietary that feed things in and out of GCC.
That's Linus's opinion, yes. Not everyone has to share it.
There are 2 kinds of startups. Those that are constantly in the news with their founders giving quotes, talking about funding rounds, and sharing their success mantras. Then there are others that work quietly in the background, without any hype or hoopla, but then burst onto the scene with news that leaves the ecosystem stunned. Media.net belongs very firmly to the latter category.

The problems with the JS type system has nothing to do with its dynamic typing or its prototype model.

JS has unfortunate implicit type coercions, bad scoping rules (not type system related but still crappy), and annoying tri-value silliness (NaNning all over).

I'm a big fan of prototype OO. JS not so much.
Pretty much, although the Court tends to be a bit further ahead of the curve than you suggest.

While I can't speak for 'aaronbrethorst, based on his recent commentary here the theory appears to be that a Republican president will "pack" the Supreme Court with nominees who will then proceed to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges.

Under our system of rule, this is plausible, and Obergefell was decided by a simple majority of the nine-justice panel, with five concurring and four dissenting. A single retirement or death among the five justices concurring in that opinion, therefore, would open an opportunity for a justice of a different opinion to be empaneled, following which a sufficiently savvy court challenge to gay marriage would give the Supreme Court another opportunity to rule on the matter, possibly with a different result.

As I said, this is plausible. It is not, however, likely. Historically speaking, the Court has been extremely conservative in its actions - not "conservative" in the sense of the modern US political faction, but in the proper sense meaning "cautious and hesitant to overturn the status quo without extremely good cause". Gay marriage is now the law of the land. Whether or not that is a good thing, and whether it should've been made so in the fashion it was, are questions worth discussing, but they're also immaterial to the fact of the matter, and there is very little in the history of the Supreme Court to suggest that even a panel which would have ruled differently in Obergefell will act to overrule it after the fact.

Why? Someone might know what I'm talking about and provide the reference that eluded me; or, just as usefully, they might be able to demonstrate I'm speaking nonsense.
I parse this, but this makes no sense to me.

Don't be an asshole.

Don't be an asshole to women.

Don't be an asshole to sexual or racial minorities.

Be a decent human being. Don't harass people.

If someone's identity is predicated on being an asshole, it will drive non-assholes out. I'm glad that assholes will self-select themselves out of such situations.

But perhaps I am prejudiced. I prefer the company of non-assholes.

New is overrated
You may quibble, but what I presented is more or less the textbook example that is often used to illustrate the LSP.

I would argue that it is reasonable for any client of the Rectangle interface to make the assumption the setting the height does not affect the width and vice versa. The unreasonable part is providing such an interface to begin with. As a client of an interface, I shouldn't have to think carefully about whether or not certain assumptions I make, may be invalid in certain specific instances. If I make use of the Rectangle interface to model a resizable window in the GUI, I shouldn't have to worry how my GUI might behave if a Rectangle happens to be a Square.

If your reaction is: “but you're doing it wrong!”, we are in agreement. But to reiterate, the thing I'm doing wrong is not to make (sometimes) invalid assumptions about the behavior of Rectangle, but to make it possible to make invalid assumptions by violating the LSP.
As another commenter pointed out below, the heyday of RTS games seems to have long passed and the studios that honed the genre to perfection are around no more. Everyone seems to be focused on making the latest Dota clone, so if you want a proper RTS, you'll have to dig into the past.

Games such as Ground Control have a promising concept, but suffer from an extreme lack of polish, which in this case means that you can't save the game during the mission, forcing you to restart and restart and restart over and over and over again until you get bored and uninstall the game.

However, I greatly enjoyed playing Myth and Myth II: Soulblighter. They are both pure tactical games from the 90s, meaning that you don't actually build any structures or produce units in them. Instead, you're given a small detachment (sometimes counting only 1-2 heroes) at the start of the mission and expected to plow through a horde of enemies. The AI is superb and will brutally punish your mistakes.

In some cases, you'll be given grenadier Dwarves and a huge cache of landmines they can carry and set on the ground, ready to be lit and blow everything nearby to smithereens. [0] [1]

The appeal is in the absolute carnage: blood splatters all over the map and the pieces of units fly everywhere, possibly even killing other units in the process. There is an active mod community to this day[2], with unofficial compatibility patches, larger resolution options and UI fixes.

I do not recommend Myth multiplayer, since only the most hardcore players are remaining, meaning that you'll fare poorly if you try competing against teams of people that've been playing for 10+ years consistently.

This is a "just noticeable difference", stacks of research on it. In some situations the JND for temperature is as small as 0.02 degC. Whereas if I sneak the room temperature up over the course of about 10 minutes you may not notice a 5 degC change. From one summer to another? I'm going to speculate that people have no idea whether it was cooler last year.
It would be nice if the home page gave some clue as to when the event was happening. Eventually found this buried in the faq:

Chrome or other applications won't be aware of what is happening way down below at layer 2. To layer 3 (TCP) the pause is indistinguishable from severe network congestion.

Just speculating, but the stop/start oscillation in traffic rate could cause code running in chrome, such as a video codec, to exercise parts of its re-buffering code in a way that exposes a bug.
Even with your slightly lower footprint due to not owning a car you still have a much larger footprint than the world mean. Probably 2-3x. So there are billions of people being "punished" for what you're doing.
That assumes power consumption is constant for a given ∆T regardless of the method used to produce it, which seems optimistic.

Unfortunately AirDrop is two things: a file sharing service over Bluetooth and a file sharing service over wifi. It only recently got somewhat unified which allowed you to use it to transfer files between a Mac and an iPhone but it doesn't seem to be quite ready yet.

Bluetooth is not fast and reliable enough for sharing modern file sizes but there is also no guarantee two phones that are near each other will share a wifi network.

And then there are the security requirements.

Thanks for the chart. To me it still seems like we are missing something. If you look at the period of 1940 - 1980, then there was not really an upward or downward trend. But in the 36 years after 1980, the global temperature has been going up like crazy. Should all of that be attributed to statistical noise? To me it looks like some new factor has started to influence the climate in the recent years, whatever that factor may be.
My pleasure :)

Javascript was never explicitly designed to use one thread: it used one thread because Netscape used one thread. This is back in the 1990s when multicore on the desktop didn't exist and JS execution speed was a non issue.
