The opposition by the church was two-fold. It was on the grounds that Galileo had not sufficiently proven the Copernician system. Nevertheleless, it endured 9 popes before controvery was stirred up when the debate moved into the venacular and his theory started getting pitched against Scripture, instead of just continuing the debate among astronomers.

But even the authors of the judgement against Galileo didn't consider it final, as Cardial Bellarmine wrote:

I say that if a real proof be found that the sun is fixed and does not revolve
round the earth, but the earth round the sun, then it will be necessary, very
carefully, to proceed to the explanation of the passages of Scripture which
appear to be contrary, and we should rather say that we have misunderstood
these than pronounce that to be false which is demonstrated.

Also there was no prohibition to continue to discuss the theory in the context of Astronomy, just to stop making claims about validity of scripture (which is what got Galileo in trouble later in life).

It's worth noting there have been many scientific discoveries advanced by churchmen or churchwomen which on the surface appeared to contradict points of doctrine. However, the scope of the two are different and can coexist. This happened again with George Lemaître, who formulated early hypothesis about the Big Bang, concerning himself with the "how", not the "why" and resisting concordism arguments.
In general, being in a position to at least monitor (and maybe even guide) the investigation into your crimes will always be advantageous.

This goes even further, in a somewhat bizarre direction. Suffice it to say "fraternal order of police" may be a more accurate descriptor than "protect and serve" in these cases (and, I imagine, much more generally).
Sure, but a library writer can use libraries; the converse is often not true. And most places pride themselves on a) hiring really good people and b) giving them mobility within the company.
If I wanted someone to glue stuff together without contributing to company infrastructure why not just hire a contractor for the gig?

I certainly hope people are moving off that abusive platform. But that doesn't make the relationship a customer relationship.
Just because your chosen religion says something is evil doesn't make it so. You're speaking tautologically.
I agree in general, but in the space of UI frameworks it's hard if not impossible to write good cross-framework code.

Most frameworks have a specific way of rendering the DOM.

In React, manually altering the DOM is an anti-pattern. Even more so if you are using a global store like Redux and/or functional components.

Integrating other "classic" UI code into React is almost always very hackish.
For quite a while I've suspected that you might be able to support Feyerabend's argument using modern learning theory. In particular I suspect that this is relevant:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_free_lunch_in_search_and_op...

Science is essentially a learning process. Since every learning method has a performance envelope and fares better against some fitness landscapes than others, restricting science to a singular method effectively prohibits learning over fitness landscapes whose structures lie outside that method's envelope.

In layman's terms: a single scientific method will be unable to learn certain things, or at least unable to learn them in a reasonable amount of time.

This is also why I am eternally skeptical of all business and management "methodologies." If there were a closed-form methodology that always yielded successful businesses there would be no entrepreneurs. Large companies and investment funds would simply execute this closed-form method deterministically and reliably pump out successes while retaining 100% ownership. Entrepreneurs exist because creating successful companies is an "AI complete problem" that requires the full multi-approach multi-paradigm multi-methodology capabilities of a human intellect... and even then it's hard.

(E.g. I put down Lean Startup when I realized I was just reading a description of gradient descent in the business domain. Gradient descent only works over very regular fitness landscapes with clear peaks and well-connected paths to those peaks. In a rocky fitness landscape you will get stuck at a local maximum almost instantly and never go any further.)
The second factor is far more important than the first.

There are any number of engineers who can simply go read up on the fundamentals as they are needed, or who understand them well enough to work with them but lack a mathematical proof-level command of the material. Google just doesn't need to hire them because they're paying much higher than market rate.
Let's say that blind belief requires a closed mind. Everyone at the end of the day relies on faith at some level or other. Even scientists believe in their hypotheses until their hypotheses are proven wrong. Then they change their beliefs. The fact of the matter is that everyone still believes in something at all times. I have yet to meet a scientist who precludes his everyday thoughts with, "well, then again, it's also possible that we're in the Matrix and this is all a computer simulation, or that I'm not real at all, even though I appear to have agency, etc, etc, but barring all of that, which requires a higher burden of proof, here's what I currently think and believe..."
>She sounds like a modern day politician caught with their hands in the cookie jar whose response is to change the issue to fit their own narrative.

Yeah, but isn't that exactly what true leadership is? After all, people are perfectly happy, by the millions, to follow such people, and they've been doing it throughout history.
How do you scale without worrying about implementation detail? You sound more like a product manager than a software engineer. Their interviews are very different.
Your good start sentence will come after "about 2-3 sentences in" it seems too optimistic, maybe for experienced writers that may be truth. I more pruned to believe the "Accept you will get it wrong the first nine times and only by the tenth time you'll succeed" - Edward B. Burger
Would also add that much of the Dark Age myth originated from the renaissance humanists.

I've always found it funny that so much of the movement was examining original sources instead of what someone wrote about them, yet so many people read the renaissance works and don't look back to the original sources just before them.
I'm a Qt developer with 10 years under my belt and I still can't figure it out.

But something has radically changed with the new LGPL licensing in recent versions, from what I can tell.

I recently received an RFP from a very large European vehicle manufacturer, the RFP requested that Qt 5.6 should be used and no later. (The licensing changed with 5.7, so their lawyers must have figured this out)
I've seen even legal departments get scared from some of these licenses, but it's not that complicated. GPL requires that you license ALL your code as GPL as well. LGPL lets you link against a so-licensed library without affecting the license for the rest of the software.
Genesis: The Evolution of Biology by Jan Sapp (https://www.amazon.ca/Genesis-Evolution-Biology-Jan-Sapp/dp/... talk about a trolling title :]) is pretty good in that vein too.
Interestingly, Galileo called his years in Padua (Padova) the happiest of his life. Florence was much more directly influenced by the church, whereas Padova was part of the Republic of Venice, which was not under the thumb of the church, despite of course being catholic.

If you ever get to visit Padova, there's a great tour of the university that shows a lectern that he used. To put it bluntly, it's a pile of junk, but the story behind that is pretty interesting: rather than hire actual skilled craftsmen to build it, his students - who were not "blue collar" types -wanted to build it themselves as a sign of devotion.
Author here. I'm not a lawyer so I can't write anything too official myself, and after some searching it seemed like none of the standard open-source licenses apply to this use-case.
I am usually very skeptical for synergy arguments, but Disney could make it work. Twitter as an influence platform is far more powerful than twitter as a profit engine. Disney as a brand is a small chunk of the giant corporation that is Disney the company. If they get a few million / year benefit each across Pixar, Lucasfilm, Marvel Entertainment, Touchstone Pictures, ESPN, American Broadcasting Company (ABC) etc that's significant value.

From the other side they can cheaply cross promote Twitter from all those media companies. Disney has long been about about merchandising not just entertainment, and they are a surprisingly innovative tech focused company.

Arguably, they could get most of this from the data feed for minimal outlay, but owning twitter let's them develop the kind of tools useful for themselves. So, think faster AB testing for commercials not just cash. Much like how Pixar does a lot of software development even though they make money from movies.
> use an inprocess database over https ie SQLite and Apache

Why not, but you introduced a whole bunch of new issues. SQLite only supports a single writer at a time. This is a problem if you have a lot of users on the same tenant. This is also a problem when you need to create an index, for example, which is not a background operation.
I suggest taking a step back, reading the comment thread again and taking some of your own advice.
Democrats want us to vote for the lesser evil. I'm afraid that is what will get Trump into the White House.
very surprising apple would do anything like this.
What am I allowed to pass into this function? a hash? a list? To me, player position by names sounds like a hash of name:position. Your code assumes the input is in bat order, but doesn't say that anywhere (and how does that work with a hash?). This is why you need comments.
I have a feeling that "Part 2: Making everything Rustic" is more or less equivalent to a rewrite from scratch. A realistic way might be to achieve Part 1, and then extract some part/module you could rewrite more or less independently without breaking the whole (which might not be an easy feat on a legacy C application).

Even if he doesn't get the job he's going for, mastery of that curriculum will be tremendously valuable. So it's a pretty benign delusion, as long as it's motivating him to study.
Exactly. From a geocentric perspective, it's not wrong as long as you're explaining past events (which, as you noted, can be done by adding epicycles).

The reason the model is not so useful (to paraphrase my college physics professor) is that you can't use it to predict things in advance with reasonable certainty (i.e. you don't know what epicycles you need until after you've observed it).

And your local library often didn't even have any books in whatever interest area you were looking for. Or maybe it had one from 1967 that was hopelessly out of date with the current state of the art.

My parents bought a Commodore 64 when I was a kid and I loved the thing, but I've come to realize over the years that I knew almost nothing about it as a kid. I had never even heard of PEEK/POKE and if it wasn't in the (admittedly pretty good) manual then there was basically no chance that I would. I remember the manual briefly touched on the sprite generator, but not in enough detail that a kid who only knows BASIC could use it. It never even mentioned the SID sound chip. The only "computer" books my library had were talking about CDC machines and IBM mainframes, or extremely general discussions about core memory and them fancy new transistor things. I think they might have had some programming language books too, but since I didn't have any compilers they were useless. This was in the 80s.

Today's kids can get in depth information on almost anything, and have ways of talking with experts if they get stuck. I'm excited to see how they turn out.
> My point is: he can focus on HTML, CSS and JavaScript all he wants, and remain abstracted from internals. That's fine.

The majority of engineering positions that Google hires for are exactly this. The Chrome / Chromium team is just one team at Google. Most of the engineers who work there are building/scaling iOS apps, web apps, and are doing the exact same work that I do all day long.
A better analogy would be hiring engine designers by spending 90% of the interview asking them questions about low level metallurgy, and 10% about engine design as such. I would reverse those ratios.

This isn't the 1990's. AWS exists. Not to mention how hot VC is for AI startups.

Sure, we won't have 15-year olds making the next AI breakthrough but to say that AI is solely in the realm of "big business" is naive.

I've only built front ends in QtCreator and Visual Studio WPF, but after getting over the initial QT way of doing things, I find it delightful. It's C++, though. So it's definitely weird in that uniquely weird C++ way.

I disagree. My father bought one of those TRS-80 Model IIIs in 1980, and I used it tons. By 1985, though, we had migrated over to a PC. Our Model III had been really decked out (even had a 5MB hard drive that we had gotten in a closeout deal). The difference between what you could do with a 1985 PC and a 1980 Model III was huge.

In contrast, we have a 2009 MacBook Pro. Still works just fine for web browsing, word processing and things of that nature. Mobile phone hardware is moving super fast as desktop computers were in the '80s, but I think that the improvements in desktop (well, laptop is the equivalent today) hardware are less important for most people.

Same here. Looks like a JavaScript error is triggering something causing the 404 to Intercept (look what I did there!). The actual text is there if you View Source.
Look back to the story a few days ago about the C64 still in use in a Polish garage more than 25 years later. And C64 were not anywhere near as expensive as Apples. Cheaper stuff could still go on and on for years too.

Biggest problem I see is that we're continuing the trend of specialized hardware and specialized software for that hardware. I can't run current ios software on an iphone 4 - it might be possible for people to write software for it, but they can't distribute it. Possibly similar for android - haven't done as much dev there.

When I wrote for c64, I didn't have to worry about what version of stuff people had - they had a c64, same in 1983 as it was in 1990 - an entire 7 years, and new code would work on old systems. We're increasingly moving away from that. :/
The Parallel Universes of a Woman in Science
Ha, yeah, if they could let some of that "magical internal tools" goodness seep out into the Android SDK I'd be pretty happy, since there's no sign of anything special there now, to put it mildly. Failing that, just buy Square and hand the whole thing over to them, since they seem to have a much better idea of how to write useful, usable, capable tools on the platform than Google does. Please.
Citizenshub.org: Presidential Campaign Funding Visualized
It doesn't seem much worse than "throw money at people who can navigate a byzantine bureaucracy." It may be better since winning a social media contest requires creative thinking.
That's precisely my experience. I've actually read Twitter ads because, what do you know, those ads are better targeted.

For all the data that Facebook is said to collect, they actually don't have much on me besides friends I barely know, pictures of my child, some political rants and jokes liked.

Twitter on the other hand has a list of people with which I share interests and they can do targeting based on that list. Which is exactly what they are doing and for me it worked. I'm actually amazed that they aren't doing better on paper.
I can't remember now. Spies and spying I think it was.
I'm having a trouble understanding what you are saying by cross-tenant queries in context. What you are describing is application monitoring which would be completely independent of the DB holding customer data, which is what they are describing in your parent's post and the OP. Application runtime/health status could trivially be handled in a separate stream.

Alternative browsers on iOS are forced to use webkit engine. Also, I don't think you can install alternative dialer/SMS apps, can you?
Twitter is analogous to ABC, owned by Disney. ABC sells ads attached to media, so does Twitter.
It's a little laggy when I'm typing, I keep notes for my whole class, not one file per lecture so the files are decently big. I have found all markdown editors with live preview have this same problem as they redraw on every keystroke and this is fairly slow process with a big document and slow computer. My note taking laptop is not very powerful.

This program looks great and I really want to use it, so I may need to start creating a new notes file for every lecture and then using a script to combine them later and export to PDF.
Thanks, falloutx. I have added a comment here with a better description. I will make a note of your suggestions and update the careers page too.

Also worth mentioning: geocentric view was based on Aristotle and not scriptures. My undergraduate was in Theology and graduate degree was Historical Theology. Back then the dominate foundations of Theology in the Church was Plato vs Aristotle and one would consider themselves to be in the camp of one or the other and well Aristotle kind of won the popular vote back in those times.

Ask HN: Review my Startup MovieSaints
https://www.moviesaints.com

MovieSaints is a website that curates unique independent films from around the world and makes them available to rent-on-demand. If you like a film, you can directly support the film’s creators, and if you don’t, you can get a refund.

We built MovieSaints to serve the needs of filmmakers. We want to ensure that a significant portion of the revenue earned on each film goes towards supporting the film's creators. We’ll release a small number of films, for now just 1-2 films at a time, so that we can focus individually on each film. We’ll also collaborate with the filmmaking teams to promote every film that releases on MovieSaints. We are already building tools into MovieSaints that enable audience building and audience engagement; and we’ll continue to improve them further.

We've been working on MovieSaints for a while (over 2 years) and we just launched about a week back. Please let us know what you think.
Influenza (and other (-)ssRNA viruses) are transcribed and replicated by an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, that is, the protein makes +RNA out of a -RNA template. This replication is happening in the cytoplasm, and for at least a limited amount of time, there is dsRNA present, although I am not sure of the on/off time for this. The paper you cite uses an antibody to detect dsRNA, which may not be an adequate marker for dsRNA ( the RNA nay be in an incompatible confirmation for the Ab, proximety to proteins may cause the RNA to be fixed to viral or other proteins during fixation procedure, etc).
How are you going to express these in code:

"We have to trim the last character because this third party library we're calling has a bug that doesn't handle null terminators"?

Or "we have to continue to support the old-style url for backwards compatibility reasons"

or "we're dropping down to assembly here because it's 100x as fast as the naive solution"

or even "This function ensures the returned string ends in a line return."
There are plenty of good engineers who can/do pass the Google interview but don't want to work there. I turned down a couple Google offers before ending up at my current job, and now work alongside many ex-Google employees. Part of the problem with discussions like this is that too many people assume that Google is the ultimate goal.
Looking at their website, they are being used be:
* Nasa
* Jive
* wise.io, mediafly etc

Just another confirmation that many of those companies list all these big well-known 'customers'.. except they are just lying. Maybe someone in nasa downloaded rethinkdb once and they just listed them there?
