I don't think that the strength of a type system is an orthogonal concern at all. I think there's a very distinct causation from the strength of the type system in C/C++ and hungarian notation. Much "weaker" dynamically typed languages typically don't see a need for it (Python, JS) and much stronger typed languages don't see a need for it (C#, ML family, Haskell). Hungarian notation, to me at least, finds most of its usage in a particularly painful "middle" of the strongly typed language spectrum where the language is strongly typed enough that subtle type differences are surprising footguns but not strong enough that the type system and compiler design provides you the tools/safeties to catch for you most cases when you are building a footgun.

(With outliers like some BASIC variants whose typing system is a part of the variable naming system.)

If anything, I think Hungarian notation is orthogonal to descriptive names. Sure, sometimes the type of something is useful descriptive information (though I'd argue rarely, even in strongly typed languages), but typically it's answers to the question "what is this variable for?" or "why does this variable exist at all?" I, at least, find more usefully descriptive. (Type information is pretty much never an answer to either question, it's much more to do with the mechanics of how the variable might accomplish its goals than what said goals actually are [1].)

Certainly Hungarian notation has its places, and I'm not going to argue that it hasn't been useful in the history of languages, but I will argue that it's place in history is more as a historic tooling-related footnote than anything else.

[1] The very rare exceptions that I know of are as you get into the deep end of super-strongly typed (mostly Haskell) stuff like type witnesses where knowing the type tells you everything and the type is almost more important than any actual variables of that type as the type has kind of suddenly "become" the algorithm.
The PC port of Pinball Fantasies could also play MOD music through the internal speaker fairly nicely. My personal favorite is still the "Magic Mushroom" disk, which played the audio part of an Air-O-Zone air freshener commercial, all in 360K. :)

Chosen method is probably important, and in the UK we're seeing more women die by suicide because they're choosing more violent methods.

There's some other stuff going on too.

Possibly women have better social support networks; they're possibly better than men at asking for help and talking about the problems they're having. (This is one reason people keep banging on about getting men to talk).

Possibly women find it easier to get psychiatric help. Men tend to see doctors less often, and tend not to talk about some subjects when they're there. Women see doctors more often, and talk about emotions more readily.

Men are more vulnerable to some "triggers" -- relationship breakdown (partly because they sometimes lose contact with children and for the social network stuff mentioned above) or loss of job.
Crossfield Digital | New York, NY | full-time or contract, remote | http://www.crossfield.com

We build websites and mobile apps for the sports industry. We're currently working on a variety of interesting and high-profile projects utilizing the latest real-time technology.

We're seeking a front end (CSS, JS) specialist to augment our small, multi-disciplinary team of developers (with a focus on Rails). Looking for someone who loves building responsive/adaptive websites that look great at any screen size. You should be self-motivated and confident in your ability to complete projects without daily guidance (we're always on Slack but don't have daily meetings, and count on everyone to manage their own work; within limits, we each set our own schedule).

We are all involved in the open source community and love helping each other grow as developers. A visual design background is great but not required. An interest in sports, too, is great but not required.

> Pray tell, what's the use of a computation without paying attention to its meaning?

First, I don't think that the only way to assign meaning to computation is by formally assigning meaning to the syntactic components that comprise its program, as written in some human-readable language. Most of the relevant meaning is in human interpretation of the input and output or the sensors and actuators. Components' meaning may be stated informally. I am not aware that formal meaning is the only valid meaning. People wrote the software that landed men on the moon in assembly; that was pretty meaningful. I believe this is still the prevailing view in computer science.

Second, you keep identifying the notion of computation with the notion of a program written by a person. The theory of computation, from its earliest days -- by Turing himself -- has studied computational phenomena in neural networks, genetics (Turing was a pioneer of both NNs and genetic algorithms) and quantum phenomena. Some of the greatest achievements in CS are not specifically related to software (I count at least 20% of all Turing awards).

> For instance, you could use Hoare logic, but it's notoriously more difficult to use, precisely because it gives programs no a priori meaning.

Or TLA+, which makes types notoriously more difficult to use by comparison.
But then what happens when somebody writes a clickbait title about said expert system?
The SuperI/O is the part of the southbridge (which later became the ICH and nowadays is known as PCH) that implements the legacy ISA chips (RTC, 8042[1], 8254, 8257, 8259). It used to be separate, which was already an improvement over the separate integrated circuits of 30 years ago.

[1] nowadays the 8042 is mostly emulated in SMM because it needs to convert USB to PS/2.

I've seen maybe 1 a year over the past 5 years. The best ones are the ones that are sent out by accident, like, cc'ing in the distribution list to EVERY employee by mistake.

I love it and hate it, I find it laughable that it just keeps on going, but it makes me sad that some humans cannot grasp what they are doing, nor learn from the example, and this is in huge global organisations too, full of supposedly professional, educated people!

My favourite one of all time though is when a reply-all chain (office wide, think 1000+ recipients....) was fully in its stride and someone attached a 10mb animated GIF.

It entirely depends on the measure.

Low-level gang members get their raw deal from being systematically trapped in their situation. Go to jail, get out of jail, find no other opportunities, repeat.

Punishment divided by harm-caused obviously goes to drug users, being infinite.

Hacking has stiff criminal penalties for many things that should be civil matters at best, precisely because it makes powerful people realize how tenuous their control actually is.

Let's not succumb to identity pity politics about who has it the "worst". Each codified injustice is ultimately the result of a ruling class slowly eroding the rule of law for its own benefit.

(Also, I'm pretty sure the definition of "hacker" does not imply "white dude")

No.
None of these exploits have anything to do with accessing TCP services using a browser. The only exploit there having anything to do with Safari, CVE-2016-4657, is a WebKit memory corruption (per your [1]: "The stage1 employs a previously undocumented memory corruption vulnerability in WebKit to execute this code within the context of the Safari browser (CVE-2016-4657).").

Better administrative discipline is my guess. Exchange has had the ability to restrict sending privileges for distribution lists for many years now. My last company was very careful about access control and we never had replyallpocalypses.
If someone wants an analogy:

Nobody understands exactly how painkillers (aspirin, paracetamol etc.) work on the molecular level. Yet they are generally held to be quite useful.

Edit: electroconvulsive therapy is an even more extreme example; we have no clue how it works, but it's very effective on severe depression. We only know it works because some Italians back in the olden days, before ethics committees were invented, decided to electro-shock a bunch of "crazy people" to see what happened. The reason they tried it was that electroshocking of pigs for slaughter had been observed to give a temporary anaesthetic effect.
So carrier-grade NATs should also be captchad to hell. Somehow, they aren’t. Very mysterious, indeed.

Except human brains are validated by other human brains to be capable of performing a given task. The validations come in many forms with varying degrees of accuracy for the task required. Ex:

-employee referral (engineer)

-FizzBuzz (engineer again)

-licensing exam score (driver)

-popular election (supreme commander of the armed forces)

"With Tesla's credit rated in junk bond territory and both Solar City and Tesla needing large chunks of cash in the next year, it looks like Telsa is going to have to tap the equity markets again."

Didn't they just (effectively) get a ~500 million dollar interest free loan in the form of the hundreds of thousands of model3 pre-orders that were placed ?

I would have thought tesla was relatively cash rich these days.
That is not at all what I'm saying.

If the government wants to send the message that it's not on to break the law then it needs to police itself.

Super I/O is dead and gone for like well decades.

For Intel system super I/O was eaten by the ICH which initially kept compatibility with most Super I/O functions.

By ICH 6 or 7 which is around the mid 2000's most of those legacy features were all gone.

By 2008-9 the ICH was also gone and replaced by the PCH which doesn't have almost any compatibility or features with the Super I/O architecture.
Rent the Runway
New York City, NY, Full Time, ONSITE

We are looking for engineers with experience in either front-end or back-end technologies. With respect to our stack, we are using Ruby and React on the front end, and Java (Dropwizard), MySQL, and Mongo on the backend.

Our team is responsible for making Rent the Runway "run". We have a huge operations and logistics team, and use technology to determine how to increase efficiency and throughput in our warehouse. We use data analytics to understand bottlenecks in our process and alleviate the pain.

We also use analytics to understand what kinds of events customers are renting for and predicting similar styles for customers.

We develop internal tools for processing and shipping orders. And we are developing new features for our customers ever day.

Note that we also have openings for flight software, which has more emphasis on C++ and embedded systems, and autonomous systems (see "Software Development" under spacex.com/careers.)

> To quiet nervous rest; to soothe a ruffled temper; to favour calm and partial thought; to steady and clear (not to cloud) a confused, overworked brain; to counteract the effects of physical exhaustion—these are just the things which tobacco does

Sure, tobacco is pretty bad for you in general, but all of these things are pretty much true. Do people not believe that tobacco has positive psychoactive effects or something? Kinda weird to see this put in a sarcastic light.
Does this give some kind of referral incentive?
Frankly, about the same number of people as the number checking the HTTPS certificates are as expected. GPG does have the advantage though that once the public key is known and trusted, the package can't be tampered with on the server.

> Long Answer: How was that not racist?

Belief that the Israeli intelligence services are, in the modern era, more likely to engage in certain types of action against particular targets than, say, their French counterparts need not be based in any anti-Jewish sentiment.

It can be based, e.g., on the degree to which Israeli intelligence services have been found to be doing certain things (e.g., carrying out operations targeting the US) compared to others.

While I think in this particular case, from the available evidence with which I am familiar, that would probably be flawed analysis, I can certainly see it being made without any racism.

One can have an especial distrust of the Israeli government -- on reasonable or unreasonable grounds -- without being anti-Semitic, just as one can have an especial distrust of the US government without that being grounded in antipathy against the dominant racial group in the US.
Good point.
Also, I wonder if the mark-to-market policies of the various funds are really comparable.

When you have a public market price reference it's pretty much irrelevant, but with the majority of the portfolio in non-listed assets, mark-to-market policies could have a large impact on your paper returns.
