World War II was not an intervention. Even if you are talking our limited pre-Pearl Harbor involvement, the war was an immediate threat. And if you were talking after Pearl Harbor, that by definition is not an intervention, it is a retaliation.

I'm not familiar enough with Tripoli to comment on it.

So scratch the word "every" from that statement and replace it with "most"

I'm also don't consider it an intervention when our allies are being attacked and our allies ask explicitly for our help.

Edit: let me make this very crystal clear. I am not a pacifist. I'm a non-interventionists. There is a difference. If we are attacked or there is an imminent threat (I'm talking a battle ships with guns pointed at us right at our or our allies border kind of threat not "credible intelligence" from a "confidential source") we can and should respond with overwhelming force. This is not one of those situations.

While the post you're replying to is a little tongue-in-cheek, it made very valid points. What you are proposing is to forget all lessons we should have learned from the past: that meddling with sovereign states is very short-sighted (see Libya, Iraq, Egypt, both before and after the recent wars); that we should not use weapons just because we have the impression we have more than the others; that attacking a country generates hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of refugees, which neighboring countries have to manage afterward; and that the long-term implications are unknown but usually very painful (see Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Syria), including for neighboring countries.

Plus, your mention of the lynching has little to do with the reply and the subject. And there are other countries that practice unjust imprisonment and torture, I might mention a few in the West.

We can't do anything about the past except remembering it and practicing its teaching. If by "doing something about the future" means bombing NK, then the future will have millions of refugees pouring into China, Russia, and South Korea. At least we should ask an opinion to the "reasonable" countries that border NK.

There is something similar for Qt. Back when Qt was licensed more proprietarily (with a GPL option for pure FLOSS), the KDE folks were worried that Trolltech could just release new versions as proprietary-only. Therefore, an agreement was reached and codified that, should Trolltech fail to do an open-source release of Qt for more than 12 months, the last release shall fall under the BSD License to facilitate a community fork.

>Humans have not really had enough time as independent populations to diverge much

There is no scientific basis for that claim. Many other animals have diverged less, in less time and are still separate subspecies.

>African > Eurasia had regular exchanges as they where within relatively short walking distances.

Interbreeding does not mean subspecies don't exist. Coyotes and wolves are totally separate species and they interbreed. This does not make them the same species, much less the same subspecies. Or the very example given in the article: polar bears and brown bears. Separate species, overlapping geographical regions, crossbreeding occurs in the overlap. Or again from the article example: giraffes.

Also note they talk about the genetic distance, but the genetic distance between a west african and an australian aboriginal is greater than the difference between wolves and dogs, which are subspecies. Again, by all measures we use for wild animals, humans consist of several subspecies at least.
Off topic — I am surprised to find this statement [1] in the blog post considering how negative were my teachers in university with the "trial and error" approach of solving a problem. They always said that you should design a solution before the implementation, and I agree that it makes sense but there are cases where you need to put a print and exit to debug something; and if you think about it, that is what a debugger does.

Nowadays — and if you are doing interviews will understand — people expect you to write flawless code from scratch using a basic code editor (looking at you HackerRank) with no time for tests. Sixty minutes to write a solution for four challenges, without autocomplete, without tests. Even the genius co-worker that comes with an optimized solution for every problem would need more than fifteen minutes to solve those crazy/random challenges that at the end will measure your ability to resolve those specific questions but not problem solving skills in general.

So is trial-and-error bad or not?

Or, in other terms 700mbit/s per host with your kafka setup versus ~30mbit/s per host in the benchmark. Allthough your machines seem to be quite a bit beefier (I wonder if all that RAM is actually used?).

>I've actually heard conference speakers call out behaviours as toxic that are basically the defining character traits of introverts

Which behaviours? I'd be interested in hearing specifics.

Maybe cite the conference speakers too (assuming these were public statements)? Who has condemned a preference to work alone as 'toxic'?
Here's my argument for remote work. If working in an office is vastly more productive than working from home, as soon as remote work is relatively commonplace in our industry we should see jobs where you have to come into the office paying a premium of at least 25%. The time wasted in traffic in the morning, plus owning a car and maintenance of said car are not free and if a company wishes for that they shall pay for it.
The annual chance of a global nuclear exchange has certainly declined since the 60s. I agree it's not zero yet but we're probably ok until skynet kicks in.
That's not true we've seen speciation happening in front of our eyes with some species.

While time is a factor 14,000 is more than enough for humans to speciate, the reason why this hasn't happened to humans is something that is actually a subject of research today.

"The problem, I think, is that extroverts collaborate more easily and this makes particular problems easier and/or faster to solve."

In my company there are a lot of extroverts that only do work in group meetings. They are insecure working alone. So six people have to go over a document for two hours which the person that has called the meeting could have written alone and sent to others by email for review. There is no real collaboration going on in those meetings.
I wish people would stop kidding themselves that Facebook is the same as the Internet as a whole. Facebook is just one service you happen to use. Some of your friends happen to use it too. Please don't pretend that cutting it off would mean you couldnt communicate with your friends anymore. You and your friends are resourceful. You would find another way. The Internet is a big place with many pipes for you and your friends to use.
What you are asking is to proactively affirming national security interests. Every nation has the right to place their national security first, including NK (if it can be called a sovereign nation) . But there is a point where the larger nations end up bullying just because they can do that.

> North Korea's government is simply... unstable, in both senses of the word.
> They cannot be allowed to have a permanent nuclear deterrent.

Yeah yeah, that has been said about quite a few countries in the past. Based on what - flawed mathematical models? The sole purpose of those was to create new war grounds.
If the country has such great prediction powers, let's first use it in economics.

I don't mean to support North Korea here. It might be an irresponsible, undemocratic state. But non-proliferation cannot be done by saying "I'll keep my gun but you are not allowed to keep yours because I think you are an irresponsible unstable person". Whereas history since WWII clearly shows who has been the trigger-happy entity.
I lived in Capitol Hill from around 2008-2014 and from what I recall the resistance to Apodments wasn't due to disdain for the working poor. It was that these companies skirted laws by taking advantage of a dwelling being defined by having a kitchen.

The parking was the biggest sticking point. It was already tough to find parking in the area: I would often drive 45+ min circling a several block radius looking for a spot and I had a friend who would just park way outside the area and take a bus to his car. A traditional apartment building with more than some number of units needed to provide parking for residents, but the Apodments skirted that having many separate residents share the same kitchen.

IIRC the taxing for utilities including the sewer system also was determined based on the number of dwellings (kitchens).

The laws and decisions cited in this article all reflect that the buildings would have many residents but for legal purposes were low density housing.

I'm reposting as I thought this could use another chance for more discussion.
In addition to collaborating, extroverts are also very good at disrupting introverts who are trying to work alone, making them relatively faster.
My first thought was 'cool, but too bad for the childish title'.

They will email you if you have a new inquiry or new account on your credit report(s). They will help you remove incorrect information and sometimes provide some financial assistance getting your documents replaced. Other than that they don't do much. They can't prevent someone from opening an account (only a credit freeze does that) and they can't tell you about non-credit identity theft.
This. Also, hold on to the commit before you started refactoring (preferably by placing a temporary branch there, in order to avoid premature garbage collection). Then after your refactoring is done, `git fsck` and `git diff --stat $old_branch..HEAD` to verify that you did not lose any important content during the refactoring.

I prefer stackoverflow for things like this as I can see from comments and up votes whether the command does what the poster claims, or whether it is going to make things worse for me.
They are equivalent. That doesn't mean that all tools will use XML semantics to test for equivalence.

A testing tool might require that the output is byte-for-byte equivalent to a known good output. Python's pseudorandomly determined hash function won't preserve that order across multiple runs.

Go back to the 80s and 90s even. Remember how only really poor people lived on Capitol Hill and how it was the place you went to score heroin or a hooker? Man, I miss that culture. Sorry you gentrified it only to have college kids move in. Sucks.

But joking aside, I do think that micro apartments speed up the population growth faster than is sustainable. Your small businesses give way to chain stores, and there would be lines everywhere if you didn't crack down on microhousing -- unless you were also able to introduce some sort of "microhousing-equivilent shops and services" model. (Maybe crowd-sourced delivery would partially work, but there's something to be said for having a local coffee shop with a free table.)

In the early 2000's we crammed 4 people into a 3 bedroom apartment near The Harvard Exit. Our total rent... $1600 a month -- I think my cut was $375 -- and another $25 / month parking. So in that sense, I don't think microhousing is any worse than what we did, but there certainly weren't that many people lining up to live in Capitol Hill back then...

To this day that was my favorite place to live.
Actually, you can even have incompatibilities with the same compiler and different compile flags. So to reliably build a "semi-portable" c++ object one would have to ensure that all objects are compiled with the exact same (i.e. same version of the compiler/same compiler source code) and with the exact same flags. I'm sure there are some compiler vendors that offer ABI backwards-compatibility but it's not part of the C++ language per-se.

3 of the 4 engineers who worked on this are well known 9/11 truthers, I assume the 4th is just less well known.

If this was studied and written by people unaffiliated with the 9/11 truthers it may be worth a read but essentially all that has happened is these guys have managed to get their conspiracy theory printed in a respected(?) journal. There is certainly no new information being provided.

I'm sure there will be at least some who go out of their way to maintain the 3.5mm jack just to differentiate themselves.

If I had to guess, I would say that Samsung would be one of the manufacturers to abandon the jack, but I feel like at least LG, HTC, and perhaps a few others would keep it.

LG's latest flagship even had a removable battery (which is pretty unusual for a flagship at this point).

One of the nice workflows that's already built in to the git command line tools is this one. When you're working on a branch and realise that a commit you made a few commits back has a mistake in it:

# Make correcting change
git commit --all --fixup=<ref of commit with mistake>
# Continue working on branch, then at some point
git rebase --interactive --autosquash

The --fixup option creates commits with subjects formatted like 'fixup! previous commit subject'. --autosquash uses these subjects when building the interactive rebase list.

Handy enough that I set rebase.autoSquash to true in my ~/.gitconfig so 'git rebase -i' always works like this.

If you're going to watch that video (and you should, it's great), I would suggest watching it on the source website[0].

As a non-native English speaker, those are just semi-random words to me unless I give them a context. I guess if you are a native English speaker you will feel more likely to disapprove the words, same if someone decides to buy a domain with bad words in Chinese, French, Spanish, etc if you are Chinese, French, or Spanish speaker respectively. Also, as I understand, "fuck" seems to have different meanings depending on the context.
I have been toying with a similar idea, but for born-FOSS source projects.

I like copyleft licenses but I find the legalese in them too complex and I fear that they will cause problem down the road because of changes in the legal landscape. I am also worried about leaving code around that is useful but unusable by other for legal reasons. For all these reasons I would like to license my projects like this:

* They are born AGPLv3/OHL.
* All the published revisions older than 5 years are
released into the public domain (CC0).

Simple and easy to state, incredibly complex to write down. Especially if you want to make it enforceable without me (or the other contributors) being alive. From what I understand, the concept of a "legally binding promise" is even more fuzzy across the jurisditions than that of a "simple" copyleft license.
> emphatic male absolutely does know more about what "women are going through" than

Did you mean a different word here? Because as far as I've seen, the emphatic males are the biggest problem in this context.

> You know nothing about what others think about, what they know or don't know.

Do you recognize the multiple ironies in this statement?

Yes, I'm generalizing. That is a necessity in discussions about broad characteristics. You don't have to have a Not All Men explosion [1] because you don't feel like a general statement doesn't fit you perfectly. If you think you're better than average, good for you. Not everything written for a broad audience has to be about you; you can move on and read the next comment.

> Why not simply recognize the psychological make-up of people by dealing with them, not by gender or nationality or other statistical probabilities.

I agree with part of this, in that people have wide variation in nature and experience and I want to respect that, not put them in little boxes for my convenience. But there are useful correlations between external appearance and experience, especially where that experience is about how people are treated.

For example, when walking at night in my urban neighborhood, I go well out of my way to give women a lot of space, to not walk too close to them for too long. I'll slow down, pass them, cross the street, get on a different train car, or take an alternate route altogether. Why? Because women are highly likely to have experienced street harassment, stalking, or worse. To them, I'm Shrödinger's Rapist. [2] There's no need for me to make a personal inquiry into their history and psychology, which would be hella creepy and would ruin the effect I'm trying to have, which is just to give them room.

And giving women a different sort of room is what I was arguing for above. Your rant mainly seems to be about things that I didn't say. If you'd like critique some points I actually made, that would be swell, but for now I stand by everything I wrote.

As an aside, you seem to be tacking dangerously close to the shores of "I don't see color", which has a lot of issues. [3]

Should I have to get past being an introvert? It isn't a disorder that needs to be cured.

Also I'm not difficult to work with in a group, I simply prefer to work alone.

Introverts lose 'energy' in a group and gain it back when they are by themselves. Extroverts gain 'energy' in a group.

That says nothing about how well you do in a group. I know plenty of extroverts who have toxic personalities and kill productivity in groups.

Truth to be said, Apple's marketshare is failing and Android is growing, with all the Chinese manufacturers making pretty fine phones. Xiaomi phones are surprisingly good.

I think the point was more that nature seemed to adapt very quickly to the fallout from Chernobyl. Instead of a nuclear wasteland it's a pretty thriving ecosystem with a lot of new life, and even large mammals seem to be doing just fine.

I caught a documentary while on a transatlantic flight about the Wolves of Chernobyl [1], and it discusses how the wildlife seems to be thriving with few to no ill effects.

This isn't me suggesting that irradiating the land with nuclear waste is good - far from it. But it does seem that nature is pretty resilient to it.
