The odds are overwhelming at this point that many, many non-human animals have consciousness very much like our own.
I think the caveat is obvious here, that this is a method that applies to organizations with the help of a lot of formal methodologies, not individuals. For individual endeavors, it's always the right idea to start as early as possible, since without all the formal methodologies and structural control your estimate will always be literal laughing stock. Starting at the last moment is the absolute thing not to do for an individual who has no clear idea/experience about project management on her own(95% of people really). Not to mention another issue deadly enough on its own is that there's simply nobody supervising a hard deadline for your own projects, unlike within a company structure. If you do so, just wait for series of trainwreck to happen to you. I think this is proven by countless examples and experience already and nobody would really object to that.

Well, for the most part, that's the accepted interpretation. We just don't value non-human well-being as much as human well-being (which I think given the current species involved is acceptable). The problem is the difference in how we value non-human well-being between different subsets of the population causes strife between those subsets. I believe very few think it's alright to torture an animal for no reason, but to kill an animal (preferably with little pain) for food is acceptable to the vast majority of people. The many levels in-between those are where most people start having problems with the actions of others.

I'm afraid this analogy is off-base. To echo Ivan's comment, I'm not offering my house as a freely available communication medium to the world, from which I profit. If I were, then this would be a more valid line of argument.

Nobody's spraypainting on Facebook's house here. They're using it as it was intended: as a method of one-to-many communication for messages which contain nothing illegal.

I was interested in this too. Shooting the tank could perhaps have done this. So I researched a bit. A large calibre anti-materiel rifle of the type legally available for purchase in the US has a maximum effective range of about 2km, while its projectiles have shed almost all their energy before 7km out. Looking at a google map of the complex[1] there's no way a saboteur is getting within that effective or even maximum range: it's just miles and miles of Kennedy Space Center and Air Force base. Maybe from a boat, but that's really heavily patrolled (and much harder to shoot from).

In 3.6, this will be ordered. Python creates a dict out of the keywords arguments, so before 3.6, this creates the old hash-ordered dict which is covered to an OrderedDict.

One thing you may be overlooking is the importance of employees respecting management. We nerds tend toward inherent distrust of nontechnical management, and it is likely that promoting technical people into management helps overall team cohesion by enabling far better manager-managee respect and rapport.

From what I've read about animals, the isolated population of an island results in faster evolution due to 'close' breeding. Rare non-dominant genes are more likely to meet up and be expressed. The lack of geographic diversity also means that species need not evolve to be generalists. There is no advantage to adapting to anything but the island environment. In humans, by way of example, that might mean an island population more rapidly adapts to an endemic disease as they cannot escape it. They don't have people living elsewhere brining in non-adaptive genes and so the local adaptive genes spread more quickly than if they were on the mainland.

Where I live, the number of sunshine hours in December varies between 6 and 49 (years 1981-2010), average is 26 hours. That means a bit under one hour per day on average, but sometimes there's a week when the sun doesn't show up at all.

Not really a great place to use solar when you need most electricity, although on the average we get more sunlight hours than Central Europe. We just get them when there is less need for electricity.
From a grid scale perspective, reliability means it can be scheduled for a certain amount of energy. In some areas solar is very reliable.

Gas, coal, and nuke generation goes down for maintenance all the time. But if it can be scheduled so energy demand is met all is good.

There wasn't actually a question posed, just a complaint that he couldn't see a point.
I feel like this issue is not introversion. I am an extreme introvert. Socializing is extremely tiring for me. I used to be extremely anti-social and had social phobias. I was bad at socializing and frankly still not great at it.

The issue could be boiled down to a lack of self confidence. There are lots of other things that were part of it, but mostly explained by self confidence.

I worked (and am still working) through this and I am tremendously better than I was. My coworkers argued that I wasn't introverted when I described myself as such once.

I say all this to make the point: the real issue is that some people are poor leaders and have poor social awareness. Leadership is less natural for introverts but the nature of leadership isn't any different for them because of that introversion.

Introverts need to be able to take charge of their own lives and their own success as a leader. Employers shouldn't need to provide quiet spaces for them. They should make their own quiet space. If you're unable to do that at your job for whatever reason (it's as simple as sitting in your car for a 15 minute break) then you need to move to a different environment if you have the expectation of being a successful leader.

I don't know if it's so much as collective thin-skinnedness as it is that diversity is such a cornerstone of our society that we're forced to deal with the tensions it creates on a constant basis. This foments debate, much of it good, and some of it trollish, but I see it as a natural result of the freedoms and diversity that America has aimed to aspire.

I don't mean to say that achieving diversity is some kind of Grand Experiment designed by the Founders, but it's what we have because of our past and geopolitical circumstances, and we've struggled with and benefited greatly from it.
why would a programmer? Because the programmer would just run the code and check what different methods return as result. Then if it looks like the ordered keys, said programmer will rely on this behavior.

For instance, I'm writing some javascript recently. I try a little array in the console, if Array.keys() returns the orders keys, I will assume it is, and would check the docs (where?) only if I had a problem. Something unstable should not look stable. I agree with the Golang way, make it look like what it is by the specs.

"important" in what way? the mechanical exercise of job functions? individual qualia? cultural aspects? something else?

"to engineering" in what way? the position requirements of a job? the industry economics? the workforce as a body of humans? the state of the art? social climate?

this is what i mean - it's not immediately clear what you're asking, so any answer is dismissable.

> versus stating other non engineering characteristics

what is an "engineering characteristic"?

> what is the value of stating they are female when not all females are the same

there is no "value" in "stating they are female". it's a statement of fact. so, the question is unclear. you also haven't explained why the notion of "not all females are the same" implies anything about a so-called "value of stating they are female".

> nor do they automatically have the same experiences simply because of their sex

"experience" isn't a fixed unary number. it's a manifold of many things. it's a trivially true observation that two individuals will have individual experiences of life. this says nothing of overlapping or commonality.

If you make substantive changes, for sure.

It's possible that you may want to make cosmetic changes (or maybe change how you're specializing something where the implementation is more polymorphic?).

Still, I certainly don't see much of an argument that being able to edit the two separately has much value. I'm just not entirely convinced of non-existence.

> Been in a few "I give up" conditions during rebases that I completely stopped trusting git it any way.

People use rebase in a far too casual way. Rebasing is a pretty advanced use case, one that is unnecessary for normal git usage. You sentence sounds like: I stopped trusting Ford because the car stopped working when I reprogrammed the ECU.

In short: If you are not entirely comfortable with git's inner workings, do not use rebase. Do not complain if you shoot yourself the foot with rebase.
This raises some interesting questions. I've always thought that recording conversations would be sufficient "proof" of what someone said. It seems that soon audio alone will not be sufficient — video will be necessary as well.
Bringing up an app isn't the use case. Bringing up an app dozens, or hundreds, of times is.

Think of it like this. If you need to build one moderately simple widget, is it faster to build it by hand, or to build an entire factory to make it? Obviously, building it by hand. Now, how about if you need to build 100, or 100,000? How about if they all need to be exactly the same? Factories start to make sense at a certain point.
Yea, I am sure the area submerged by a dam could equally rebound in its own way 30 years after.

It's really a shame that we've coerced people into earning an income to live, because the means of living that don't require money are largely becoming illegal.

Where are you allowed to sleep for free in the US? You could perhaps get a wilderness permit and live in a national park for a time, but I'm not sure what the maximum period of validity is on them. Cities will cite you under anti-camping rules. There isn't really a frontier to go to where a person can live off the land, at least so far as I'm aware.

People who do not find the system of "I have to work because I have to have money because I have to pay rent/own a home because I have to have somewhere to sleep" satisfactory no longer have a frontier to which they can escape. This is worrying if you like the idea of preserving liberty, and especially worrying if (as this article suggest) the whole monetary system on which our civilization is built rests on weak foundations.

At least prison's still more or less free.

Angela Merkel didn't decide to shift to wind and solar. The Atomaustieg (the decision to abandon nuclear power) was made in 2000 by a coalition of the social democrats and the greens. The movement that lead to this decision goes back to the 70s, the green party actually stems from that.

Merkel slowed down that process at a time where it stopped being that much of an issue and the process was put back on the initial schedule after Fukushima happened.

Merkel is merely going with popular opinion on this.

I suspect that any procedure relying on dictionary order can experience all the classes of bugs associated with relying on mutated state. For example, if procedure P1 relies on dictionary order and calls another procedure P2 on a dictionary, might get a new dictionary back in a case where P2 is written in a functional rather than imperative style.

Essentially, relying on ordering requires tracking identities rather than values. Which suggests a second bug. What does it mean now mean for two dictionaries to be equal?
how is this even a serious question?

USB-c is an open standard. you can buy laptops and desktops with it right now - even macbooks! There are numerous phones with this connector, so an investment in usb-c headphones is something you can be sure will be compatible with most things going forward.

Where am i gunna plug in my lightning cabled headphones? Theres no lightning port on my mac, no other company does or will ever make a device with a lightning port. Oh and god forbid apple change their connector again - how much would you stake on the lightning port being around half as long as the 3.5mm connector?

How many millions of Beats headphones have they sold through their own apple stores? How many people did they fleece into paying 300$ for a pair of headphones they wont be able to use with new ios devices? How many have they sold since they knew they were removing the headphone jack?

This isnt just about people being upset their current headphones are basically useless, but knowing that any new headphones they buy have a limited lifetime. This is a major cultural shift in external audio components, which have been standard for decades - to proprietary connectors with known limited lifespans.
I don't think git won over bzr just because of speed.
It was also much more powerful in meaningful ways (`git reset <hash>`, `git rebase -i`, ...) very early on.

Also, the internal git model is elegant. Having used bzr for years, I never understood its internal model.

Typically it's "jobs", followed distantly by everything else, to include things like walkability, cultural attractions, food and dining, ease of visiting friends and family, etc. It varies by person, but the benefits obviously exist or nobody would live in cities.

Maybe none of those are the benefits of density qua density, but they are hard to achieve without the density. (I mean, I would love to live somewhere with a great tech job market, walkable neighborhoods with bars and restaurants, delivery food at 2AM, and where nobody except my friends and I live there. But of course that's impossible. The density is a precondition for everything else.)

whatever that means

I believe the notion of artificially low/high rates actually does have a precise meaning. If banks freely set rates as players in a competitive market based on prevailing inflation rates, demand for money, etc, that would be the "market rate" of money. "Artificially low" rates would be those rates set centrally which are lower than what the market rate would be in a competitive rate market.

Now it very well may be that zero would be the market rate of money, and the Fed is doing a great job of estimating it. But to say the notion of artificial rates has no meaning is a little odd.
