All the rest of the post seems good, except this: A trade association should not permit its members to fight among themselves.

Surely a trade association which prevents "fighting" between its members is a cartel? Whatever you think about software patents, MSFT is not doing anything illegal. The real problem is (yet again) the existence of overbroad, non-specific, long-duration software patents.
The question is how can academia be cleansed of the biases? Secession of the scientific faculties from the unscientific?
I think its not possible to make a "safe space" without politics and publics for research. So the only way to archieve a equality is to have funding be totally independent from political "standing". It must be voted in by anonmyous Scientists, based upon the quality of cross-faculty-peer-reviewed process that generated it.
I wonder how much this censor-ship has damaged the left cause actually.
Imagine if a ethnic group of equal intelligence (I firmly believe that any group can bring forth high intelligence- or if it could not should be enabled too for mankinds benefits) inherited a stress activated gene that allowed for a prolonged "zombie" mode upon crisis and conflict. To not search a cure for that gene, would be a unbearable crime.

The problematic part comes, when the research on this would be only represented as a "fact" of gods design and not a call to action aka a research for a remedy.

TL,DR; Anybody screaming for In-Action, is on the wrong side in science. Explore all the allys!

I think I agree with this sentiment. I'm really tired of the prototyping tools oriented around making ridiculous little micro interactions with just the amount of bounce or spring.

That should be built by understanding spring physics and going and sitting next to your implementing engineer. The hard stuff to prototype is what I think you're alluding to, larger navigational or IA types of hypothesis testing.

I also haven't found much there...
I see your point but not how it increases censorship. If this platforms would show up then only because they are heavily censored. So what would change on that front?
Less costly signaling
The major gotchas is building the indexing engine. Once you have that in place, getting the commit information takes milliseconds. The only time consuming thing is extracting the from and to blobs from the repo. However, that is a one time hit, since you can cache the blobs.

For the diff, this is done in realtime with https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor

Also my product isn't really dependent on GitLab or GitHub. It works in standalone mode as well.
While not data science specific, I do often find myself on the hiring/search committee for our tech related jobs.

And honestly? Aside from the obvious "experience" (at least a year of contiguous experience doing something similar to what we want), there really isn't anything that would make me give a checkmark to a fresh faced person without a remotely relevant degree. Because online courses are useful but don't really show me that they know how to work on a project as a team. Same with most github projects where there is one contributor.

Universities may not be great, but it is pretty hard to graduate without ever having worked on a group project. Moreso for advanced degrees. And that is what I want.

Obviously there are exceptions on both sides. But when we have a hundred CVs to sift through, we are going to narrow it down. Because none of us want to do 100 interviews. It isn't fair to us and it sure as hell isn't fair to anyone past number 10 where we genuinely won't care anymore.

It's helpful. when you have to quote estimates to your customer, this estimate is what is going to be really billed and then you want to know, how much you were off, whether you actually have some margin. By comparing estimates to actuals, you can get better at your estimates.

It can be annoying, but for example, redmine-style time tracking in checkin comments are quite unobtrusive.
For single family residences, yes this is true. The roofs of commercial buildings are often littered with HVAC equipment, antennas, patios, lots of other things. Plus the more stories you have in a building the smaller the ratio of roof area to building area, so you have less space to generate power for more people.

There's definitely a lot of room for growth for solar, but it's not a panacea. I'm looking forward to what we can come up with.

If he means that human females evolved to extract resources from males it is also reductionist. Females were not hunters, but they were harvesters and growers.
I think he is implying that females could not get resources because they took care of the offspring and the male got them. This is also wrong, evidence of early human settlements point that females took care of the offspring while harvesting and growing crops.

Yeah, we got that part from the original. To qualify as a joke I would have thought there needs to be a punchline that allows it to transcend lazy stereotyping. "Ha he means gold diggers" isn't adding that.
I can definitely see this misused in the hands of wrong people.. heck, even the government or corporate world, like rejecting some candidates during the interview cause they look like criminals or smth? I'm sure it sounds like a cool tech but feels like a disaster to me.

Github Pages does pretty much everything you've listed. Also Github Pages explicity allows companies to setup and host their corporate websites on there.

I think a big difference between the sexes in humans is male aggression has the potential for violence while female aggression usually doesn't.

So female aggression is more likely a social aggression, a more civilized agression that is also perhaps sometimes expressed into violence via their male counterparts.

But this seems to be rare as humans females across the world are in general not aggressive. On the contrary they have been victims of extreme male aggression for thousands of years. Human males are extremely aggressive and violent towards others males, females and the world.

Some (if not most) GUI Git tools should do this, e.g. I personally use Git Extensions[1] which shows history and diff side-by-side.

For what it's worth, features like that (along with, say, line-by-line staging) are the reason why I usually use a GUI client and only drop down to the command line when necessary.

Piketty's book contains a correlation-implies-causation statistics-driven narrative to pitch yet another tax increase.

Economics In One Lesson is an exercise in logic, showing that many popular economic policies are flawed or will necessarily have non-obvious side effects.

EIOL is also deliberately written to be an easy read.

It's hard to compare the two.

(In the unlikely case anyone cares, my personal take on Piketty: wealth inequality doesn't matter unless you think jealousy is a matter of public policy. Wealth inequality is an inevitable consequence of progress. What matters is whether the wealthy can loose their wealth due to their own mistakes, and whether wealth inequality implies legal inequality. Private profits and public risks, bailouts, legislation a la tete du client, bribes, lobbying, monopolies, special tax agreements, propping up markets, complicated laws, ... that's how the 99% get screwed. Taxes allow the government to function. They cannot "counterbalance" the legal privileges of the 1%.)

netlify looks great, and the free tier covers probably 90% of what all SMEs need. I'm curious, where are the sites actually hosted?

Does netlify provide the actual hosting or they allow you to setup deployment to a VPS? Also if netlify does the hosting, how good is their uptime/availability?

"Ok, end the war on drugs. Force the ACLU and legislatures to enact laws allowing for forcing adults into mandatory detox and/or mental/rehab programs based on their drug use."

Or, you know, actually look at facts instead of only the percentage of folks that have a major issue.

I'd not force a person to give up their daily evening pot habit any more than I'd force a person to give up their two-glass-a-day wine habit. I don't freaking care if a couple sends the kids away to the grandparents for a weekend so they can drop some acid. I don't care if someone does cocaine twice a year (Yes, I've met some folks like this).

Most concerning, however, is the US's general policy of using AA or NA as the standard program for detox or rehab. While it works for a few, it is really lacking in substance - even for folks that aren't actually addicted, merely get caught with some drugs during a traffic stop. Sure, it works for some folks, but I'd personally never be able to follow through due to my lack of belief in some "higher power" (in other words, god) nor do I believe that everyone is an addict for life.

You know I could be tricksy but I'll answer you straight. Even if I thoroughly believed the rather reductive propositions you make about male/female biology, I would still disagree with your conclusions.

You seem to want it both ways: you assert men are naturally violent, women are naturally manipulative, therefore we should accept this state of affairs and not be dishonest about it. At the same time you want us to reject the idea of rape culture, even though inherent in your assessment of men is an acceptance of exactly that.

Has it ever occurred to you that Political Correctness acts as training wheels for people who are exhibiting bad natural behaviours? And that this might be a good thing? We teach our children to have good manners, to share and to curb their violence. Of course, no adult wants to be treated as a child, but if there is a social consensus that somebody is infantile, then it seems appropriate to have a mechanism to put manners on them. That consensus is far from punitive. For the most part it doesn't restrict individual liberty.

Many contrarians and "rugged individualists" I know seem to fear that we will fall into a kind of group-think if we allow PC ideas to develop. This it seems to me is just the despair of autocrats. It's our social consensus. We get to form it together. But just saying "PC Crap" doesn't work. We live in a big complex society. It's going to just get more complex.

Many smart people are bored and repelled by these arbitrary social rules - I get that. But your natural repulsion is overcoming your judgement. These are systems. They can work well or badly. Contribute to them to support your values.
When I was a kid at school in Auckland we had regular earthquake and volcano drills. I'm sure the earthquake drills are even more regular here in Wellington, we also have Tsunami sirens and every coastal suburb has lines on the roads and footpaths directing you to Tsunami safety zones.

Renewable, but mostly as hydro.

Things are easier when you have large hydro (relative to your needs), Iceland's electrical production has been 100% renewable since 2008 (and was 99.9% renewable before that) because they have a ton of hydro (80% of total capacity), and a fair amount (and growing) of geothermal (geothermal is 2/3rd of their energy consumption but the vast majority is direct use for heating, not electricity generation). And note that ~70% of Icelandic electricity generation is solely for aluminum production.

I took the time to read what Zed Shaw had to say, and I think that Zed is a bad journalist or public communicator, and the reaction on Hacker News is symptomatic of this. Zed Shaw had a straightforward (but probably wrong) case to make about Python 2to3, but instead he lacked the restraint from shooting himself in the face.

To be clear, Turing completeness is Zed Shaw's baseless launching point for discussing the incompetence or political nefariousness of the Python language devs.

Turing completeness does not mean a perfect translation between all languages exists. Genuine ambiguity can exist. If your language goes from 1 to 2 types, a perfect solution may be <permanently> out of the question.
According to other parts of the Digital Economy Bill, it's not actually ISPs that bear the burden, it's Connection service providers, i.e. any service that provides you with a connection - including VPNs. What they'll do to VPN providers that don't comply I don't know - probably they'll find their powers rather limited.

Sadly this is the current UK Government's approach to many things. Drugs are bad, so must be banned (no chance of following the rest of the Western World's route to legalisation any time soon). Porn is bad, so must be banned. Never mind anyone who wants to access either of those things can get them easily, and banning them is hugely expensive and criminalises people who would probably benefit much more from some form of help or counselling. Such is our way.
I have a soft spot for Neocities, which is trying to be everything we loved about Geocities, but for a modern age:

ZERO ADVERTISEMENTS, even for the free plan. Supports only static hosting, is free for 100mb websites with bandwidth of 50GB per month, or five dollars per month for 10,000mb with 2TB and a number of other extra features.

I don't give a damn if Oracle is stupid, incompetent, malicious or all of the above. I decided to have no business with Oracle and they have no way of forcing me into a relationship with it.

If, however - Oracle were a government institution - then it could leverage its monopoly over violence to get me to do its bidding - regardless of what I thought of its services.

And as one goes through history, one notices that most if not all of the institutions that governments provide - have started outside of government, yet have been included into the scope of government. Either because the ruling party at the time saw it as a means of expanding their reach OR because people have observed that it would be cheaper/more effective to run these institutions "collectively" - where the state pops up immediately as an endeavor that is already done for the "good of all".

Unfortunately - no institution is ideal. And as we have seen time and again through history, all institutions succumb to corruption eventually. And being stuck with corrupt institutions is no fun at all.

I have no idea, how you maligned my argument into the garbage you presented. But I would argue, that you are actually presenting an excellent case for striving towards preventing dishonest people such as yourself from getting power over others. Thus while you undoubtedly think yourself an edgy cynic - you are merely solidifying my point.
This reminds me a lot of Certbot's use of the Python SimpleHTTPServer:

I use AWS S3, which I put behind a Cloudfront distribution. It's quick to set up, and there are no servers to keep up to date and patched. You also get free SSL for your Cloudfront distribution via AWS certificate manager. For stuff like Contact Us forms, I use AWS Lambda to post the data into my company's CMS. We've had this setup for about a year now and it works quite well.

The cost is almost nothing but we don't have a high traffic website. If you started getting billions of hits from expensive Cloudfront regions such as Australia or India, you might consider something else.
