One example: in my static blog I provide very nice maths using MathJax, but I also provide fallback PNG renders of the formulae. The small JS my blog has, it reads these pictures' alt texts and renders the latex if found. This stuff is not rocket science, people just don't want to spend time on this kind of stuff.
Well you've been quite extreme in this thread. I get your concerns, but I'd say that day is still very much far away. Libertarian lunatics like Peter Thiel certainly dream of it, but I really doubt it will become the reality, at least not over the whole world if indeed so in the already very corporate America.

Anyways, if the vision aspired by Thiel happens, those "libertarian" capitalists will be killed by revolts/uprisings in an instant. A world without tax nor regulation nor basic support for social equality never works. Just as explained in Capitalism in the 21st Century, if inequality is not addressed, there will be revolts and chaos. Extreme injustice can't dominate forever.
> Bizarrely, git won't do a dif of files that have been add-ed to your staging area without this flag

Not sure what's bizarre about that. Doing so helps keep your commits clean and helps git tools (diff, git-gutter, etc) by ignoring things you've already stated are complete.

For example, I quickly fix a bug. The code is ugly and I don't want to commit it yet. So I add the bugfix files. Then I clean up the code (before commiting). Now I can do another diff between the staged and unstaged files, checking that it looks better than before, and still works. This way there is 1 clean commit "bugix" and not 2 commits "bugfix" and "bugfix code cleanup"
About #1 - it really depends on the subject.

For #2 - "everyone in class travels together" means slowing everybody down to the rate of the slowest person on the room. If you insist on that, you'd better filter your participants into a very homogeneous group (on both style and capacity), or you'll lose anybody that is not completely stupid.
Moral: Avoid native apps if you can't avoid using them at all.
I don't really understand the conclusion here. So the scenario is you trust dropbox with your files, and you trust them with a kernel blob implementing the filesystem, but you don't trust them to silently have accessibility rights?
Just as an outside observer developing on a platform, I see my fellow devOps team members working in Kubernetes and it's been a shit storm for the most part where containers disappear randomly, stuff breaks and they are on call on the weekends not having fun. I have my own clients on other projects using AWS where I just upload and click buttons like a dumb monkey and I end up looking more competent even though I'm completely not. I've consequently not been motivated to dive into these DIY deployments just yet.
I'm unfamiliar with Erlang's runtime, so please forgive some basic questions.

Is Erlang's runtime doing the thread pinning without any input from you? Or are you, at the application level, explicitly telling the Erlang runtime how to pin threads?

edit: Did some googling, looks like it's the latter: http://erlang.org/doc/man/erl.html#+sbt. There are a bunch of policy options where the user picks what behavior they think will work best with their application, on the current system. Key to my point, though is: The runtime system will by default not bind schedulers to logical processors.

Providing options where users opt-in to such behavior is good. But the Go proposal, as far as I read, was unilaterally proposing that is how the runtime would work, always. That's not good, for the reasons I stated.
Really? That seems too abstract. Couldn't you say that about any war?
> Eh, you're assuming everyone feels the same way about everything.

I don't believe that's the case; I think you're just early on in the process arpa describes. For me, part of really coming to know my own feelings was understanding the feeling very separately from the circumstances that trigger it.

With that separation in hand, it was much easier to develop deeper empathy. I would perceive other people's emotions and then work on reverse-engineering their very different triggers and preferences. And, of course, reverse-engineering how I ended up with the particular triggers and preferences I had myself.

For anybody eager to pursue that route, the two things I recommend are a meditation practice and seeing a therapist.
Isn't a bit naive to think that your solution, which has obvious flaws is one-size-fits-all?

I use cloud storage (e.g.) have access to my password file between my computers and my mobile devices. NFS shares on ~/share that only work on the local network don't really solve this issue.
Don't US companies outsource jobs willingly?
There could be tax complications here, using a personal credit card to buy the computer and then transfer it to the business with an expense report. It's a lot more straightforward to use the company credit card even if you're a sole proprietor.
It probably is, but it would be near-impossible for a respectable company to claim that they weren't specifically trying to spoof it.

With the current OS X password prompt being a benign looking window, Dropbox (or others) can easily say they're just "following standard UI patterns" or something like that.
That's a really nice Randian narrative you've got there, but the reality is that we're trapped in a demand-limited economic state and it's slowly getting worse. At some point you have to stop coddling the wealthy with more and more handouts, and undo the damage.

> So is trial-and-error bad or not?

It depends.

Efficient trial-and-error should help you acquire a good understanding of the solution.
When your program finally works, are you really sure why? If not, you might be doing it wrong.

You might want to google "test driven development". Basically, it's a programming discipline which heavily relies on shortening your feedback loops (i.e reduce the time between the moment you make an error and the moment you detect it). While it certainly is controversial, it can be seen as a serious formalization of "trial and error".
Because the population density was much lower in pre-Columbian America than in pre-Columbian Mexico[0]. Note how Argentina has a similarly low population density - their current population also has a low level of indigenous ancestry.

There are some other nuances as well, like how the existing social structure was preserved in Mexico. Check out Why Nations Fail[1] for the details.

You're confusing two things together. There are drug addicts who have to be saved by means in addition to financial means for basic necessities. But the majority of poor people aren't like that.

Hanjin’s Stranded Ships Contain One Absurdist Filmmaker
Facebook is not a newspaper, because it does not produce the content that it makes available - freedom of speech cannot be applied to Facebook itself. FoS applies however to the content producers and limits the terms of contract that Fb may offer to them, by banning the arbitrary censorship (the distinction between artwork and offensive content is arbitrary and decided by Fb moderators). Also, by saying "unconstitutional" which constitution do you apply to it? It's multinational and has the business in many countries - each one can regulate Fb within its sovereignty.
I don't advocate ignoring it. In fact, I'd prefer that we did a much better job of desegregating the major cities (especially the school districts). It just doesn't do us any good to act like race in America is a southern problem, and it's odd to only cast it as such, which is what the OP did.

It's the same issue. You can't ignore problems, but you can't also assign them to a different scope than they are.

You can get collections on assets inside the US. But this is basically impeding the Executive's control of foreign policy which is what the Constitution gives it. It also will create a precedent for foreign countries to pass similar laws against US citizens and companies which is a can of worms no one wants to open. It may also violate agreements we previously signed with other countries (and approved by the congress at the time).
Sure, but it's not clear to me that the best way to deal with the two memory classes would be with NUMA-aware scheduling, unless you happen to have an application with "fast" and "slow" application threads (which I suspect describes relatively few applications in practice; and even if it does, wouldn't you have to tell the scheduler about it explicitly?) Seems to me like it will usually be much more efficient to use the MCDRAM either as L3 (default configuration) or as an explicit scratchpad (which a scheduler wouldn't really be able to exploit, given that if the scheduler has data structures that don't fit in L2 it's already probably screwed).

That being said, I did some more reading this morning and the sub-NUMA clustering configuration on the new Phi does provide tile-to-directory-to-MCDRAM affinity (via pin domains), which would make sense for maximizing its performance as either L3 or scratchpad; AFAICT this is not the case for the remote DDR4, though. So whether it's worth caring probably depends very much on your workload; I think KNL is most interesting for workloads with working datasets that are much larger than 16GB, since otherwise you could just use a GPU (you can get more usable working memory per second with much better bandwidth with something like a DGX-1 thanks to NVLink, but unless I'm missing something not at a remotely competitive pricepoint, and it's unclear to me whether it's sustainable for larger working sets since you can only transfer up to 80 GB/s from the CPU to the GPUs, which is lower than the 90 GB/s each Phi gets out of DDR4 on Triad [and a better comparison is probably the 115.2 theoretical peak for KNL anyway]).
Repair is only applicable when there is victim. The other point is that certain acts can not be meaningfully repaired/repaid within our current societal context. I.e. How do you measure the repayment or actions-required to repair a life that is taken by someone?

I would argue indentured servitude is a valid way to go, but it makes people uncomfortable because they see it as slavery. Yet, keeping someone locked up in an unproductive cage, to watch them wither away is somehow "rehabilitating" them. It's not, it's punishing them, it's revenge.
You're assuming everyone trusts Dropbox with all their files and that everyone installs their kernel extension, which is a wrong assumption.
Only the companies invested in low-competition markets with monoplistic tendencies need to worry. This is framed as an anti trust case, which means that the abuse of privelidged market position is the issue - not the company's profit in and of itself as you suggest.

> It's easier to figure out the various workflows you need

Fine, that might be cheaper than properly training your employees. Of course, if your employees aren't training themselves out of genuine interest that's really the only option.

But then once something goes wrong you'll have to resort to "oh shit" websites and hope that you can the exact issue that you're having, since you really don't understand what's going on anyway.

> This worked out much better than the git course people were sent on.

I submit this must be because people came out of the course without really understanding the tool. Why they didn't understand I won't speculate, but I submit that they didn't.

EDIT: I think that which one is more appropriate depends on where it's used. I a big structured company I can believe that yours is better, or even crucial. But on a scenario where I'm starting a company with two other guys on a garage, I wouldn't want the guys to be the type of people who can only use a workflow that someone designed for them and never had the interest to dig under.

This. Engineering excellence is secondary. You can get away with complete craptitude in your tech if you can build community. (I won't name examples.) Of course, it's better if you also have technical excellence. On the other hand, you can have technical excellence, but it will come to naught if you have community destroying anti-patterns.
what is this, 2002?
What's the very definition of "poverty"? Having no money for even the basic necessities. By its very definition, basic income deals with that. Surely there are drug addicts etc. who would just be fucked no matter whether they have money or not. But if you genuinely believe that every poor man is like that, you're way too brainwashed by the rightist elitist BS justifications for their own wealth, my friend.

> "After being caught, this scammer was actively trying to be seen as a human being."

This is what the GP posted. He was very clearly saying that the scammer was "actively trying to be seen as a human being", something that apparently in the mind of the GP he's not- or at least not completely.

Well, maybe I misinterpreted, but I read it as "the fact that he tries to look scared and repentant is a further proof that he's a psychopath" - which would be a circular reasoning, since he's assumed that he's trying on the base that he's supposedly a psychopath. In any case I don't see any hint to the possibility that he might have been genuinely scared.

So to answer your question, mine was a reductio ad absurdum: given the GP's premises, the only way not to look as a psychopath would have been to look as a psychopath.
I live in france and many small stores don't accept debit card payments if it's under a certain sum, like 10 or 5 euros. I asked once, and I was answered that banks those stores for each of those payments, so stores refuse payments if it's under, that's what I think is happening.

I already saw stores who don't accept debit cards. I don't know the reason, but the equipment might be too expensive for them. Obviously debit card technology is mostly american.

> terrible software

The Git DAG and its content-addressable file system are an elegant solution to the problem of distributed version control. The implementation is clean and dead-simple, yet immensely powerful. This is the basis of good engineering.

> an even worse UX

Git was designed to expose its underlying implementation and not to isolate the user from it. Unlike other systems, its subcommands give the user the ability to manipulate the underlying data structure directly.

That doesn't mean it has a bad UX. Just that it has the UX of a power tool.

I also think that Git played a big role in the growth and popularity of command-line tools over the past decade. And that its interface inspired the subcommand pattern that is now commonplace in docker, vagrant, and others.
Common sense (which probably is not worth much when it comes to international relations) suggests that without China's aid DPRK would quickly collapse.

Presumably China does not want to see this happen because re-unification with South Korea would be a possible outcome (although I suspect the South Korean economy would have trouble absorbing the North Korean population without significant aid from the US and "international community"), and that would put a strong US ally right on China's border.

In my mind the only peaceful resolution to this situation is a diplomatic agreement with China, which would seem to be exceedingly difficult to achieve without a massive effort on the part of the US. Unfortunately, given the level of rancor and demagoguery against China that is showing itself in US politics at the moment, not to mention provocative actions such as the TPP and Abe's desire to change Japan's constitution to arm itself, the aforementioned peaceful outcome seems unlikely to me.
Except that's 100% wrong here. There's not even a facility for marking an object as immutable in Python, so that wouldn't support user-defined classes at all.

I constantly wonder if there's a "better CLI UI" that can be made for git, even if simply a wrapper around git.

Ie, if the implementation of Git is right, but only the cli commands/etc are wrong.. what would the right UX be? What would a friendly UX look like?

Seems like something a lot of people could love - even if blasphemy to Git purists.
I think I read somewhere, that as the central and south American civilisations were settled, with towns, cities and a ruling elite. The Spanish just replaced this ruling elite.

Whereas in north America, it was more nomadic peoples, so the Europeans couldn't just replace the existing rulers and carry on as normal, thus the eradication policy.
"The Spanish mixed with the native population and created communities with them since the beginning. This process is 500 years old. Race boundaries have been erased."

It isn't true that boundaries have been erased, though it may seem that way because a majority of Mexicans are mixed European and indigenous (62%).

But about 10% is European, 7% indigenous and 21% predominantly indigenous.

Well it depends on how you define a "species" this isn't a technical problem this is a philosophical one.

The most commonly used definition of a species today is a group that is capable and commonly practices interbreeding between its members.

There are different species that are capable of interbreeding and even producing fertile offsprings but they do not breed for various reasons this can be as simple as a geographical barrier or as nuanced as a small visual difference like a red patch of feathers vs a black one that restricts them from breeding outside of their group.

A more wider definition of a species is the largest gene pool of individuals technically capable of breeding but this one is not often used.

Overall there would be more loose and more strict definition of species that would be used based on the subject matter at any given moment.
