Yes let's stop all scientific and technological progress which isn't directly related to achieving utopia on earth, until a hypothetical point in the future that will never come.

Is everything you do and find important in life directly related to improving our ecosystem and eliminating nuclear stockpiles? Do you think it's ok to be interested, for example, in web development, but not in space colonization? Maybe instead of attempting to force artificial goals on human society, you should acknowledge the fact that people care about more things than your notion of "quality". Denying them those things in the name of some artificial pragmatism is exactly the opposite of pragmatism - it ignores the realities of human society, ignores the actual wishes of people, and replaces them with an artificial ideology.

I would much rather live in a world where some people care about clean energy and sustainability, others about colonizing space, others about mathematics, and others about art, etc., than in a world where the majority of those things are shunned because of arguments such as yours. The latter world is a far more miserable one, and a miserable reality isn't a solution to anything.
Diminishing returns may play a role in this.

To use extremes, if 1% of a population has a PHD then holding a PHD may be a proxy for other desired things. If 99% of a population has a PHD then it's less useful as a proxy.

PS: On it's own a few years of post secondary education don't actually mean much, so a large chunk of the value is as a proxy.
Have you lived through 80s, and the constant riots in India during that time ? India is a no where near being a fascist country, because for love of god, its not ONE country.

Calling RSS alt-right, completely makes the whole article laughable. RSS was the Right, BJP was the Right, Jan Sangh (BJP's predecessor) was the Right and they were the only game in town, in a mostly Fabian socialist India.

Please go read some History.

Here is a nugget. In Hyderabad riots only happened in INC regime, when TDP was in power no riots. Now both are Centre-Left populist parties.

Rejection of Neo-liberalism is not fascism and the Harvard-Soviet fragilistas of the world, summoning ghosts of Hitler when a country like India is not ONE race is amusing but also horrifying because these morons actually have a platform for their "fake news".

"We have found that even a modestly sophisticated statistical model does very little to counter unreliable data"... so.. garbage in... garbage out?

I have an alternative explanation for this : people who buy newspapers and mainstream web sites are liberal. Pollsters and analysts who wish to make a living must get clicks and sell copy. The ones that create models that agree with the general zeitgeist of the liberal milieu get clicks and sell copy, other models are gradually ground to extinction.

Markets are not efficient mechanisms for creating insight.
So, extending the analogy, we've as well been dividing the universe? If you go with quantum mechanics, you also have to consider the Entanglement that, if I understand correctly, posits non-locality, so your argument of spacial division is still nonsense to me. To be fair, quantum theory might as well be nonsense to me. I wouldn't know, it's over my head. But multiverse is stuff of sci-fi and theoretical physics. Theoretical physics is mostly maths, indeed. So I agree to a point, I just contest the schism that's between maths and physics, because it's not constructive.
Providing an incentive to repair through the tax system may have a limited but positive effect. A better choice would be to mandate long lifetime design and manufacture with penalties to the manufacturer for early failures.
I think both are ok. The first are more 'pure' and the logic is cross language.

The second are more ruby/functional lang specific.

As somebody whose three generation have lived in Bangalore, the situation wasn't exactly the same. At least with a lot less intensity.

Before all this IT craze started the city was pretty normal to live in.

Bitbar feels much better imo and allowing not just dots - any stuff

I appreciate the lesson trying to be taught here -- don't be intimidated by what you don't know, develop a plan, and practice -- but I don't think the author chose good examples.

For the LCM example, the second solution doesn't show any understanding of the underlying problem. The point of project Euler is to think about algorithms -- not to take advantage of "batteries included" features of programming language standard libraries.

For the duplicate counting problem, while the second answer is shorter, it's a bad solution. Just a few of the problems: it calls `split` many times instead of once; `count` can be called directly on a string; `chars` is the right way to get the characters of a string in Ruby; and finally the problem can be solved in 1-2 passes over the data using something like Ruby's `Enumerable#group_by` or Python's `itertools.groupby` rather than in a number of passes proportional to the length of the data -- O(n) rather than O(n^2).
This article a load of crap. Modi is the best thing to happen for India after decades and decades of ultra-corrupt and insanely criminal Congress rule. Congress ministers/MPs never actually did any work and were involved in few of the greatest scams in the history of India.
That somewhat makes sense, but then one wonders why it wasn't restricted in the same way as file:// or the usual http(s):// protocols. Of course "Reading View" could've been implemented in a simpler way that people were accomplishing the same thing before (either saving the pages or their URLs to a centralised place), but leave it to MS to reinvent it in the form of an overly complex and insecure solution...
> That mobile doesn't have a way to block ads is probably a failure of Google, Apple and other players to allow extensions.

To be honest, I see this as short-term painful, long-term desirable. Ad blockers make the incentives of the web worse - they mean that publishers get punished for bad behaviour of other sites. Whereas without, users make more direct value judgements...if your site is covered in ads and a terrible experience, I'll stop visiting it. (I'd accept arguments that 100% ad blocker adoption could push us to a better place so we should let this run its course instead, but when I think it through I think it more likely pushes towards walled gardens and the death of the open web, so I'm skeptical.)

To your second point, I don't think that Google has the power you think it does to strong-arm other ad networks, and that'd be a really dangerous thing for Google to consider doing anyways. Publishers are often struggling right now (especially newspapers), and so revenue is their only thought. They'll go with whoever brings in the most money, because otherwise hastens the death of their company. This is why I like the AMP argument - it isn't forcing anyone, but it makes the argument that "if users can expect a good experience, you'll make more money, in spite of not being able to be as free with the technologies you jam onto the page". Yes, it's a weaker appeal, but that's what I like about it...because it has to be predicated on actually working better, rather than about pushing people around.
I use the function keys a lot for changing volume, screen/keyboard brightness, pausing/playing music. I also launch Terminal and Firefox to F3 and F4, I heavily make use of ESC for all kinds of things (VIM, closing UI dialogs) and I occasionally use the function keys for some shortcuts such as finding the next occurrence with F3 in Foxit Reader, F10 to compile, F7 to show the desktop, F6 to switch between Karabiner profiles. For me it would be quite a loss.
This is not a complete summary of the article.

The article also postulates that due to the threat caused by people outside the academy/media/"cathedral", the overton window has shifted sharply in a radical direction in order to flush out those who are insufficiently loyal.

If you manufacture in China you find huge legal and social issues with maintaining quality.

I've read, without adequate if any sourcing, that this is a pattern that's at least centuries old, specifically, building things to the required specs, then backing off on quality until the buyer complains....

If so, it's interesting it survived the harshest decades of Communism and the attempts to do away with the old ways, then again, it could well be aligned with the incentives that were force back then. Although I'd hate to be issued a weapon or ammo that was from a factory running along those quality lines. Although back when we were allowed to buy ammo from the PRC, that sort of thing was not apparent from what I remember, but I'm not sure I would have noticed since I was never in the market for those particularly types.

Well, we know how "well developed" commie ruled states in India (West Bengal and Kerala). One of them is a failed state, they both have been turned into islamic terrorist sleeper cells just for commie/secular vote bank.
> replace the human body

But would not this be the same as the destruction of the human species as we know it? Which is exactly what is meant to be avoided by the idea of colonizing other planets?

(Incidentally, I suspect that the brain will not be the last organ that will be replaced with a mechanical part.)
Assuming a severe shortage of animal-based sustenance I could see that particular bullet point happening, maybe.

As for wealth redistribution, I may be pessimistic, but how likely are you to give up 3/4 of your salary post taxation to someone you aren't related to and don't know through some kind of redistribution plan?
The only thing that worries me about it is I haven't used Apache for years but I distinctively remember the last time I used Apache + Wordpress I failed to setup redirect rules that would keep my blog functioning but also let `/resume/` redirect to `/resume.pdf`.

If I got my redirect working, it killed all Wordpress's pretty url rewriting. Hopefully that was just an issue in my specific case though.

If the redirect rules don't work, there's lots of Wordpress redirect plug-ins though. I've used some in the past for when a post is edited and the slug is changed between initial social media burst and finalizing. Just a redirect from the old URL slug to the new one.

A plug-in like that alongside a script that allocates all the posts on the blog then manually writes into the plug-in's database table, that might work as a much uglier workaround.
He mentions he was asked to write the answer during an interview, so it's possible the problem was underspecified intentionally to test how the candidate explores the input space.
This explanation goes well with the proponents as well. The problem we are dealing with is a society that creates artificial restrictions to solve those simple problems and will never want to do away with these artificial restrictions. It seems simpler to solve the problems where artificial restrictions does not exist (yet).

ARM MbedTLS makes using TLS from C easy. Like, really easy. Really, really easy.

As an aside, the last CVE (publicly known, logged vulnerability) for MbedTLS that affected server-side code was from January 2015.
And funnily, most people do repair large appliances, bicycles, and even computers. Even clothes, when expensive and high enough quality, get repaired instead of replaced.

It's almost like people already have a decent grasp on when it does and when it doesn't make sense to fix something.

Nobody demolishes a house and builds a new one when a window breaks. And nobody throws away a car with a flat tyre or a bicycle with a broken chain.

> The F-35 is not being used in Afghanistan, and was nowhere near combat ready during the Iraq wars.

To clarify I wrote: "what would we do if we had to stop interfering" as in "if we didn't have a fighter jet for future interference" when the current line goes EoL.

> For one thing, if we (meaning you, i.e. the USA) stopped 'interfering' in the middle east the F-35 program would be completely unaffected.

I don't really buy that, at least in the broader sense, if the US didn't have an agenda which involved active interventions in the middle east and around the world, the F-35 wouldn't be worth the glamorous budget.
If the attacker knows or controls any part of the data then the compressed size leaks information about the unknown data because the compressed size will be smaller if the known data shares bytes with the unknown data.
Did you try TLP and tuning with Powertop?
First, I agree with you. Reuse and recycling should be the primary waste diversion methods whenever possible.

With that said, if you can't reuse or recycle something, it's better that it's turned into energy (if done cleanly) than landfilled.
Base85 is between base64 and base122, while using printable characters. Any statistics of compressed base85?
> Ethernet port (ideally 10 GBit/s instead of 1 GBit/s if possible)

There are several vendors that make thunderbolt network adapters that support 10GbE SFPs. I think supporting this within the laptop would increase the laptop's size significantly. You can even go up to 40 GbE.
For deep learning quality is high (and it rarely misses important stuff). But I share your frustration that it is "deep learning news", see this post of mine: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/4el597/is_... (Though, in the last month deep learning is my main focus, so it is OK.)

AMP allows google to prefetch and pre-render AMP content before a user clicks given it can ensure the content does not do malicious things because the AMP format is tightly controlled. The end result is that when clicking on an AMP result, it loads instantly.
> Plus the new TV probably has more features than the old one.

That right there would kill the repair incentive for me. I keep my stuff for a long time, so a failure is partly welcome. Your new $300 TV in today's dollars is probably cheaper than my old and feature-poor TV. I'm almost like a small distance time traveler every time I buy something more complicated than a pair of socks.
Half joking, but how come we always gravitate toward exploring exterior space, but not our interior universe in the brain? "God" knows what we could find, once the brave psychonauts have returned from their mind trips. We might as well abandon traveling on mechanical starships and become star rovers ourselves, uploading our consciousness into fabric of space-time and exploring mythical worlds and archetypes that are inhabiting our minds still undiscovered.
But that's the state of the art using Linux with bleeding edge hardware.

"Developer Edition" doesn't mean "built for developers", it means "fix your drivers yourself".

If Dell did their homework and ensured a silk smooth experience with Linux, the laptop would be priced higher and people would be upset that the Linux version is more expensive arguing that "Linux is free".

So bad performance is a short-term compromise. If you don't want to join the effort to fix the drivers, or you can't wait some months until the community fixes the drivers, you should get an older model.
I mean, if the data is bad then the conclusion is bad, even if it's right.

Totally agree. It's like how writing papers (to be graded by a teacher) about Shakespeare only makes you marginally a better writer, less so if you want to be a novelist or a journalist who appeals to mass audiences. Until you write real-world projects, in which the code has to be read (and edited) by real people, and which the output affects real people, all of the software engineering precepts (including the 2 hard problems in computer science) will remain abstract to you.
13 hours is still 'good enough'. You could go a full day at work without charging it.
I agree, except that the fixed resource is votes, not economic resources (which everyone here knows are not fixed in any practical sense).

Democracy is a vote market, and strong identities are the strongest persuasive tool available for acquiring votes. Strong identities we know of are skin color, religion, and universalist ideologies (think communism).

Once a particular identity, or combination of compatible identities becomes large enough to have a chance at becoming a winning coalition, the logic of the democracy market almost guarantees it will be deployed for that purpose. Even in the absence of underlying economic factors.

TLDR; democracy has a lot of very scary failure modes, and the US has been lucky to avoid them because until very recently, there haven't been strong competing identities, so people have been free to argue over tax rates.
Thank you for that. Not to seem ungrateful, but I'm wary of pasting "might work" code onto my blog.

What if it goes wrong? What if it has unexpected side effects? What if Google crawls it and makes things worse?

There are a bunch of domains where you should just avoid buying anything on Amazon that's sold by a third party, and this strikes me as one of them.

And if it's sold by Amazon itself, hope it's either in one of the categories where they don't commingle, like food, or that you luck out. I'd hope anything you ingest or put on your skin like this would be in a "No Commingling!" category....

> universities which [according to the article, really!] were the main gatekeepers of speech

This erroneous concept seems to have spread to this writer via Curtis Yarvin (of Urbit/Strange Loop fame/infamy.)

It seems superficially valid because the media loves to use witnesses of academic prestige that back its own agenda. However, it should be clear that the ultimate gatekeeper has always been the media, not any media-selected credentialed proponents of whatever position the media wants to be seen as the most prestigious and scientifically valid.
