Because Millennials is the most catchy term for a generation in a while (compared to gen x/y anyway), and so they keep extending what it applies to.

As someone born in 1991, I genuinely thought I was really close to the end of the "millennial" generation, but apparently i'm almost a "young millennial"...
Here's a best guess based on my knowledge of actually having written a SVG rendering pipeline:

The R and B colour switch in conjunction with the fact that this problem only occurs at non-right angles would indicate that there's a bug in the rendering pipeline that is triggered under specific conditions. Specifically if the transform is at a right angle, then an optimal transform algorithm will be used that processes colours in RGBA format. For all other angles a slower (but prettier) transform pipeline will be used that results in the colour being incorrectly processed in BGRA format. An easy way to test this theory is to set the problem colour to bright green, in which case the bug shouldn't be apparent.

SVG rendering pipelines are really complicated. The quest for optimisation leads to rendering code that has many paths for all the different scenarios. The consequence is that odd bugs for certain conditions are more likely to creep into the code base if you're not careful.
Someone who identifies primarily with their favourite programming language is a junior. Someone who identifies with the problem domain they work in is a senior.

The junior developer is blown around by every wind of shiny they know about. They want to build an infinitely flexible framework for everything, even if it's only being done once in your codebase.

They follow all the rules they were taught in school, like 'never ever use goto in C', until their first code review by a senior developer, who shows them that 'goto err' is much easier to understand than writing your cleanup block before every single return statement.
I've seen very little discussion of this. Is antibiotic resistant (proof?) TB in 2016 deadlier than TB without antibiotics in 1916? That seems extremely unlikely, but pop news coverage basically makes it sound like we're all going to die.

Nobody is universally liked, and I can see trying the practical joke route since its a pretty big part of the culture (recently watched a Navy video having to do with dropping greased pigs on another ship). The tension between services (Navy and Army Air Force / Air Force) is well documented along with tension with the civilian pilots. There is a bit of family problem going on with Yeager and his kids which is generating some bad press.

Cannot find my copy of the book, but the mission Armstrong did the piloting was Gemini 8.

Not sure, I think it's better to use older documentation which is not so centered on RNNs and Convolutional networks. The old docs very well describe a basic net with Backpropagation.

It was a joke! The joke being that senior developers get interrupted a lot by business people and junior devs.

Introduction to OSGi(Java Modular)
As long as I have you here... ;)

I primarily write JS for a living but because I freelance I often have to work with wordpress. After spending a few weeks digging into the internals I soon realized that every single wordpress project I've inherited–paid themes included–were horrendous and failed to utilize the most basic facilities provided by core.

In most of these projects a quick turnaround was more important than clean code (probably the cause of the aforementioned horrendous codebases), so I always just hacked away at the templates without every trying to gain a deep understanding of PHP, its recommended best practices, and security gotchas.

My question is, can you point me towards something like "PHP, the good parts"? I would like to know how to write well architected, performant, and secure PHP on the occasions I need to use it professionally. I know that PHP has a reputation as being dangerous by default, so knowing what not to do would be reassuring. So far all of the PHP books I've found have been fairly disappointing; covering all of the features without really detailing any best practices or opinions.
You're likely under-estimating the amount of CPU time they're willing to throw at the problem. If you have to ask, the answer is "not strong enough for your password. Change your Yahoo password. Change all other passwords that were shared. Stop sharing passwords across sites."

On the other hand, my LinkedIn password was 15 base-64 characters, poorly hashed with just SHA-1. As a rough ballpark, cracking it on average comes out to about 500 times all of the work that has ever been put into BitCoin mining. I still changed my password after the breach. Why not?
Because the author wishes to contextualize it as "sign of the times", rather than a property of their age (that they may grow out of).
I wanted to put your comment in context. On the area, downtown is not particularly interesting. There are more charismatic areas radiating out from there. You're onto something with the lack of flash. It's a Midwestern city, so that kind of goes with the territory. That said, I'd argue that that's part of what constitutes Chicago's appeal: it has many of the amenities of New York (great food, culture, and architecture as well as reasonably good nightlife) with less conceit and more Midwestern nice.

As for the murder concern, other commenters (tptacek in particular) covered that.

The other big issue is that there's no local economic boom driving the increase. Which is very confusing to locals -- salaries aren't going up, unemployment is fairly high, but prices are skyrocketing.

Apparently low interest rates are a big driver. If they increase then many people won't be able to afford their mortgages.
The article is about the government wanting to close towns because it is too expensive to provide services that they must to citizens that live there. It's not about people moving from small towns to cities because they want different types of jobs.
The article says the data includes "easily decrypted passwords". How is that even possible for a company with the engineering staff and history of Yahoo? Deliberate negligence?

The evolutionary process took billions of years (hundreds of millions for the mammalian brain to be specific) so even though we're intelligent designers we don't quite have a precise concept of what intelligence is let alone know how to implement it. We don't know what data structures or processes make true human intelligence so while it's possible we stumble on our own version, working with what we already have as a baseline seems far more practical.

I think the "looks for wins" attribute is just a desireable trait period (like "tries to write good code"), but the ability to weigh trade offs comes with experience and changes how one looks for wins.

In the end, you're making a smart vs. wise distinction, and the two are neither independent nor opposed.

Perhaps fixes the problem in front of them vs. thinks about the problem in context (with the context getting bigger and hairier with more experience).
SWT (the eclipse widget toolkit) takes this approach. It's very difficult to maintain API compatibility with the myriad browser versions out there, not to mention having the content in those browser windows display reliably.

The real killer-feature of Electron et. al. is only having one browser version to test against. I think embedding CEF is definitely the right call.

A few points. This is the aim, in part, of PR firms/departments: to shape and control the narrative, the public relationship. That a behind-the-scenes method is used to control the relationship should not be a surprise. That it is being embraced by the scientific authorities is surprising, frankly, and disappointing to me.

That said, it would be absolutely stunning to peek under the covers of major journalism outfits and understand exactly how the sausage gets made and how the flows of power route. Why does X get covered, Y doesn't? How much do journalists take direction, in practice, from outside sources, and how much investigative journalism do they really do? I don't know.

Why leaders need to put their egos aside
I'd say MS SQL is better than not that bad. It's an excellent product. One of Microsoft's best. It's generally comparable to PostgreSQL (also an excellent piece of software), and has a few advantages over that which may make it worth the extra cost to a business (Management Studio, Reporting Services and clustering).

I've cut the cord 10 years ago, and (because I don't watch any sports) I _seldom_ watch live TV (Oscars, New Year's Eve, Thanksgiving Day Parade are some notable exceptions.)

This is really disturbing:

From the article: "Documents obtained by Scientific American through Freedom of Information Act requests now paint a disturbing picture of the tactics that are used to control the science press. For example, the FDA assures the public that it is committed to transparency, but the documents show that, privately, the agency denies many reporters access—including ones from major outlets such as Fox News—and even deceives them with half-truths to handicap them in their pursuit of a story. At the same time, the FDA cultivates a coterie of journalists whom it keeps in line with threats. And the agency has made it a practice to demand total control over whom reporters can and can't talk to until after the news has broken, deaf to protests by journalistic associations and media ethicists and in violation of its own written policies."

So let see if I understand this...

1- They tell their friendly reporters who they can and can't talk to with conditional embargos.

2- They don't let reports they view as hostile into the press releases.

3- They actively thwart these reporters viewed as hostiles by intentionally telling them lies and half-truths.

This is completely absurd, A federal agency is manipulating the story it wants and the side it wants to tell it. It is picking the winners and losers, and the winners keep quiet about the scam because it they start to be seen as trouble makers, soon they will start getting the Fox News treatment too.

Millenial is a marketing term and the story is about marketing.
Yup, totally understand. I'm looking into Nix and other solutions to see if there might be something else that's a better fit for this use case than Homebrew.

I guess this is an off topic question, but shouldn't the example of the Hierarchical Database show Customer as the Root and Order as the Parent and Books as the Child?

I would not be so pessimistic. Lots of things that many people thought certain would never happen or would take a very long time have happened in relatively short order.

Things like the fall of the Soviet Union, desegregation in the US, man on the moon, etc. Even things that required great international cooperation have happened. Like the eradication of smallpox and polio, the creation of the United Nations, etc.

But the reduction of meat consumption and reliance on factory farming need not be done on a global level to be worthwhile. It can happen one country at a time. Even one person or one animal at a time will be helpful, even if it won't solve everything. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.
> R&D, IP licensing, and (perhaps most significantly) regulatory compliance

I'm going to call the R&D costs a wash because that cost should also be factored into the price of the diabetic injector that forms the basis of the $30 homebrew design.

From your list, that leaves IP licensing and regulatory compliance which are both imposed by the state.

I believe we would still see plenty of (and actually probably more) innovation with a much more relaxed IP policy that favored small, incremental improvements and the diversity of product variations that competition would bring. In short, copyright terms should be 5-10 years max and should only be granted in cases where there's proof of significant research. Simply, if the ability to monopolize your 'idea' for the better part of a decade doesn't incentivize you sufficiently--it's likewise not worth depriving the public over it.

With regards to regulatory compliance, I believe we're seeing a case of the perfect becoming the enemy of the good. Imagine if the state extended the good-Samaritan policy to all medical providers--legally protecting anyone who exercises good-faith and due-diligence towards improving the health of their fellow man. Also, replace the old-west era FDA with information-age search engines, customer reviews and a plethora of private Consumer Reports -type organizations. In this scenario, there are several auto-injectors available on the market ranging from a $30 model which has failure rate of 50% to a $600 model that's been tested out the wazoo and only fails 1% of the time. Even under this very pessimistic scenario (50% seems pretty conservative to me), many lives are saved because there's a long tail of people who can't afford the $600 model but more than half of them end up surviving an episode of anaphylaxis because they can access the low and mid -range models.
> The single biggest win is if we could load a library in another process and make cross-process calls to it.

What?

Setting aside the fact that this can already be done in numerous different ways on many platforms, how is this a win?

It's hard enough for developers to write correct code, let alone maintaining the correctness of that code while loading and executing unknown code from other parties (see web browsers, and the last 20 years of security bugs related to plugins, extensions, addons, etc).

The main example that broke the news about this was when the FDA announced regulations about e-cigarettes. The tobacco interests were staunchly opposed to the regulations, and the FDA wanted to prevent NPR + other journalists from getting comment from them.

> Much of our self is shaped by being mammals, with two eyes and two ears and limited perception of the world.

Of course we've built visible light cameras and microphones, which mimic our own sensory inputs. Machines will likely have these same sensors. They can have additional sensors (IR, radar, etc.), or not. That's up to us.

Touch, taste, smell, and physical sensations of pain and pleasure are not yet modeled in machines, but presumably this would be possible.

Human intelligence is molded by hundreds of thousands of years of evolutionary pressure to hunt, procreate, attack other tribes, avoid being eaten, avoid being cast out of the community, etc. Our emotions are likely closely tied to these functions. It's not clear that machines can or should be designed according to these same environmental pressures.
Right, that's what makes it an anti-joke. Anti jokes can be funny. Just, it's weird that it's one of the first jokes we're introduced to growing up, because it's not a typical or even basic kind of joke.
Someone with a short bet on ETH.
I upvoted your sinking post because: the point is valid, "growth hacking", and its implications affect large numbers of startups. I'm not sure if the egg allergy point is relevant to this particular news post, but it doesn't necessarily detract either.

Personally, I don't see why you were downvoted.

We're supposed to up/downvote when comments add/don't add value to the intellectual discussion. Sometimes people seem to vote by whether they agree/disagree with you instead. I think we generate a better discussion when people vote the first way.
I understand this is a thought experiment, but "if the billions of dollars flowing into Facebook, Twitter, Tindr, YouTube, Netflix, etc. were used to buy or develop medicine" is simply not how money works.

The baseline is that -- in the real world -- there are people with skills and equipment and they may or may not put those skills and equipment to use. You can maybe get them to agree to work on producing and developing medicine instead of software. But most of those people and equipment aren't really qualified for that. For the most part, it would just be a huge waste of talent.

However, in theory, this could still lead to some kind of progress in medicine (after all, those people are supposed to be smart), but that depends on whether the key to better medicine lies indeed within the field itself. Also, those gains would still have to outweight whatever benefits occur as a side effect of business as usual, for example when an AI that was developed so teens can better sext each other turns out to be useful in automated diagnostics (or something unexpected like that).
You're right, I was born with the Internet and grew up with it as a constant. Some of my earliest memories are literally of those ugly gray 90's computers.

It's not about quitting the internet to get 'back to basics' (although doing that is incredibly beneficial for me), it's about this weird feeling where you are forced to accept that the enormity of human knowledge is available in your pocket at all times, but it's not going to really change things for you. I know I'm coming off as a cynical, negative person, but I'm just trying to explain, as a person who doesn't remember a time before email, what it feels like trying to be Authentic with a capital A.

It's actually not hard and I think most people really truly are authentically themselves even in this new age, but it's different in a way that's hard to put a finger on. An authentic person who grew up with the Internet can't be authentic in the same way as a person who grew up before the internet.

Maybe I'm projecting, and maybe it's just a generational thing but I don't think it can be stressed enough how different the last 20 years have been

I build large static websites, and sometimes apps, and can confirm that the CSS techniques listed in the article work very well for both use cases.

UI components don't need to map to richly interactive parts of an app, they can just as appropriately map to repeated design elements in a well planned static site.

To me its the same problem.
