Not that ridiculous from a developers perspective. All of the software I write use hardcoded constants as config. Then once the app is stable and usable by myself on production environments - and only at that point - do I consider building in a config system or at least a few command line flags.

What's more, many developers (myself included) aren't afraid of jumping into someone elses code and modifying it to behave how we want.

Let's also remember that a great deal of software you don't even think about also runs this way; they'll have config flags to add and remove features at compile time (run Gentoo or FreeBSD ports for a few weeks and you'll see what I mean).

So having hardcoded options isnt that ridiculous nor uncommon on Linux. However mainstream desktop distros do a good job at hiding that from their users by picking sane defaults for them.
> you're confusing some arbitrary ideological measure

Well I'm not using a well defined measure of utility here, but I thought it was fairly non-controversial to say that, at least in immediate terms, food for many people creates more utility than a yacht for one person.

That they're homeless isn't the point, and I should have left out that rehetoric. The point is just that they're less able to demand the food than the rich person is the yacht, despite it providing them more utility.

> luxury articles provide firms with the rewards of motivation

Yes, I said that. Inequality is what drives the supply side, and I agree that this may lead to better outcomes overall, but my point is that it complicates the process, and detaches money from being a raw measure of utility.

The possibility of a yacht may encourage someone to produce food more efficiently, but this is a lot harder to measure. Maybe the level of inequality doesn't matter that much as long as people perceive higher social status? Maybe the inequality reduces opportunities for many potential innovators, destroying more efficiency than it encourages? Or maybe the lack of security discourages people from taking risks even if they have opportunities?

I'm not asserting any of these ideas, just pointing out factors that confound measuring the utility created by inequality.
You are indeed correct, I was incorrectly assuming a continuous density, in which case the probability of a tie would have been zero.

I find this surprising because all I hear about are React/Angular/Vue.

At this point, I am likely to stick to React because of the support and community. But I could see myself using web components if it reaches critical mass.
Parents put "Drive like your kids live here" signs in some parts of Palo Alto. I think the clever phrasing makes it more likely to be taken seriously by a driver.
I think that this has been largely caused by the media. Every time that a child was attacked or taken in the UK during my childhood, the press would go crazy for weeks. 'Stranger Danger' was a phrase that often came up. The resulting parental hysteria restricted the freedom of children and now it has become normalised. Now it is negligent to allow your kids to roam free and you might get in trouble for it.
"""The median, on its own, does not describe what is "typical" any more than the mean does; it just has a small advantage in that it will always map a real observation"""

Only if you have an odd number of data points or the two middling data points have the same value. Example: I have four people with these sizes in cm: 120, 160, 180, 200...the median would be (160+180)/2=170 which is the size of none of the people.
Well, I mean that's what they're doing as well. They call features other people use and require "bloat" and pretty much say they all suck.

I think it's fair to say suckless code is clean and minimalist. But it definitely isn't suckless.

Because there are actually a lot of people in Romania that across Europe to work for a lower salary and be totally content with that while I wouldn't? How free trade drives down labor costs when a government promotes an actual borderless free market? How it is an actually good business plan to go recruiting in Romania and other surrounding countries for both skilled and unskilled labor?

I don't know guys, I think you are attempting to censor reality by latching onto something that isn't even considered insensitive.

Disrupting free trade agreements like that disrupts cheaper labor. The same concept inflates the salaries within the United States as well with its limited visas and exiting trade agreements.

I see "standards of living costs are lower in those countries so it is rational to undercut the local workers" you see "he's saying they're beneath him". Are we really at an impasse? How deep in the gutter are your minds

For good reason. Microsoft left their browser dev abandoned for 5 years after they "won" their bitter war against Netscape. And only the Firefox (nee Phoenix) browser rising from the ashes of Netscape fought on.

Edge is a decent browser, but Microsoft was not kind nor to be trusted back then. They have to earn their new trust.

On the open-source front we now have several great browsers - Safari/Webkit (which is very strong on mobile), Chrome/Blink (was Webkit) which dominates, and Firefox/Gecko which is a solid reliable browser thats crossplatform.

Why should anyone choose Edge?
I'm not finding that guide to be helpful in doing what the title describes, since there's many things apart from web servers -- it has just described a simple and specific task, without much of explanation even for that. And selinux offline documentation is not great, so the title seemed promising.
Good to see that unethical behaviour has costs.
No, it's actually in the corporation's best interests to have customers who want whatever is most profitable for the corporation to produce.

In many many cases, it's more cost effective to modify the customer's wishes than it is to change the corporation and what it produces.
I think there's truth on both sides. I feel this is a good time to link to this article again that I believe was discussed on here some months ago: http://www.meltingasphalt.com/ads-dont-work-that-way/

I find its theory compelling that a lot of advertising works by cultural imprinting: corporations use their power to create a presence in the public sphere which changes the underlying culture of society, and we as individuals have no choice about that.

Obviously individuals can in principle just ignore and go against the prevailing culture (in sufficiently free countries, at least), but even in free countries, that's a lot harder than just going with the flow. That's just how humans are wired, and the likely fact that corporations - i.e, non-human intelligences - have such influence over us by changing the very fabric of society is a cause for concern. Like all influence it can turn out to be good or bad, but ignoring it is not an option.
Not in my experience. I've lived in a variety of places in my life, one specific cross-section of America: from farm towns and small-to-medium cities in the midwest to major urban areas including New York, DC, and Chicago. Basically everywhere I've known for more than a few years has had some measure of road building. Perhaps other parts of the US haven't seen the same trend?

I'm not talking about "significant urbanization", but I definitely am talking about suburbanization, which is a pox that affects the whole country, as far as I know.
I do have a flowers page, although I was only using 'flowers' as an example of something very simple served from http, I wasn't referring to my page.

Yes. Everyone is falling over themselves in this thread to bemoan the sensationalist media and irrational fear of kidnapping, but cars are a dramatic difference in the risks of letting children wander that just didn't exist 100 years ago.
Once Safari and Edge stop giving me headaches I might be more sympathetic to their cause.

We still have new browsers popping up, like Brave and Vivaldi. We still have Firefox, which is decent.

I don't understand what your concern is in this context.

You're making it sounds like there's a pile of dead kids just growing on the side of the road every day. Lethal traffic incidents among children are non-trivial, but no-where near enough to introduce any kind of "survivorship bias" effect.

This seems a bit dubious to me. I don't think a variable symbol width equates to mixed radix. Nobody calls UTF-8 mixed radix even though some symbols require 8 bits and others 16. You aren't treating these values as algebraic numbers. While you can perform some types of arithmetic on (x, y) vectors in a mixed-radix form (addition, scaling, etc) and same for HH:MM:SS, it makes no sense to add the binary/mixed radix representation of two MIPS instructions.

But maybe the definition isn't this picky. They certainly feel like different concepts to me though.
Honestly I think the numbers on this would be poor. OS X users use Safari, and rightfully so because the performance tends to be very good compared to other browsers on Apple hardware. At best they could hope for bundled installs with Office 365 to bloat their numbers, but I'm just not sure it's worth the effort.

The rest I'm not really sure that there is much benefit to it save the UI lag fix. The oft-tossed about technical debt is incredibly real with Microsoft's browsers, and I believe a lot of the debt that IE had was inherited by Edge to ensure a transition for Microsoft's clientele relying on the IE support for their sites.

Unless Microsoft wants to branch into having a "business browser" and a "consumer browser", they can't give users a clean and non-burdened version of a Microsoft Internet Browser. I really doubt they're going to want to deal with the headache of splitting the focus to two versions. They can make all the changes they want public facing, but as long as they have a sacrosanct part of the browser that can't be altered or removed, they're destined to be an afterthought if a thought at all.
'coz enabling pipelining for the client has some gains (all requests in one package). Even if the server won't pipeline.

"child endangerment"

This seems to run rampart in the US, but also a little bit over here in Germany.

My daughter (now 12) is allowed to use public transport across my city (Munich) since she was 9 (close to 10) - and my son who's 9 will change schools in summer and take public transport to there as well.

What's (still!) normal here might be child endangering in the US. The kids are free to roam from here to the city's river Isar (around a 20 minute walk, 1 subway station) because there's just a green, nice place.

And no, Munich is not a rural area, it's a 1.6 Million people city. And the first year when my daughter was taking public transport she was switching lines at Munich central station.
In 2015. During those days when there were several thousand refugees here.

You teach the kids about sensible behaviour, about how to travel safely. And then you have to let them take a risk, because locking them up in the apartment is a very dangerous thing, for their mind, for their health.

There IS a certain risk that something bad happens. But I refuse to encumber the kids souls with fear and panic. I definitely believe part of the "obesity epidemic" is parents driving their kids everywhere because "its safer". No it's not. The kids get sick and fat.

On a somewhat related note, I think it's interesting that there is data on how people perceive information but that isn't really taught in descriptive statistics (at least it wasn't at my university). I feel like data representation and charts/graphs should be more of a focus if the title of the class is descriptive statistics. I hadn't even heard about "How to Lie with Statistics" or "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" before randomly finding them mentioned somewhere. I simply learned about some standard graphs without much explanation on why you use them or how they impact the understanding of the audience.

"... amortized per byte."

SHA-512 is in fact slower per iteration, but uses twice the block size as SHA-256. For hashing e.g. files, the per-byte number is what matters. But when doing hash trees, for example, the per-iteration performance is what matters and SHA-256 wins out there.
That is why i am looking forward and VERY excited for TruffleRuby, SubstrateVM, Graal, along with C Extention.

You probably don't want clear text. A number of major ISPs (and proxies) poorly implement HTTP. They are either buggy or intentionally modify your connection. There was a blogpost by Youtube a while back about how turning on SSL actually increased the speed and reliability of video serving.
"it does mean that if your dataset grows, performance falls off a cliff."

Are you saying you know ScyllaDB does not handle larger datasets and Cassandra is better in this respect? Or are you saying that their benchmarks are not yet conclusive?
Almost anything would be better than the Ruby runtime, which is notoriously bad. JVM performs best with largish heaps (>512Mi) - if your services fit into that model, it's a great piece of technology that is very fast.

But I have to agree w/ others that after using golang, where an equivalent web app would run in <50Mi of RAM with far better tail latencies, the memory cost of the JVM feels very large.
I understand your point and I actually make sure that my websites target IE10 and up, but it usually happens after I'm done in Chrome.

Have you worked with Edge/IE? The pain starts with, as a Mac user, having to boot up a VM and ends with the, in my opinion, horrible development tools compared to Chrome or even Firefox. In this state Edge will never be more than an afterthought.

But it is often a proxy, and proxies are both clients and servers. The number of misbehaving proxies is large enough that it isn't reasonable to turn on pipelining globally, which is why browsers don't.
You're still limited by the JVM technology, regardless of how you write your app - large heap, and big tail latencies (JVM's GC is designed to be throughput optimised, whereas golang is latency optimised).
Aye, it's tough to see it as anything but a waste too - it gets bypassed and that's it, all time, effort and money that went into it was effectively for nought.

> [...] who believes he has a theoretically proven approach of using non-randomized observational data to create an asymptotically-efficient unbiased estimator of counterfactual treatments

That would be exceptionally powerful if applied to the social sciences. I've long thought that the extreme lack of statistical rigor in that field has led to all kinds of damaging and biased social policies that negatively affect society, ranging from the legal system to the criminal justice system.
> If you were to look at the compilers themselves or try to write a perfect automatic conversion tool you'll quickly see that far from identical.

There's so much truth in this.

Telerik has a online conversion tool[1] you can us, which can batch convert entire code-bases. But a 1-to-1 straight conversion cannot be done with 100% accuracy, and the tool will tell you everywhere it struggles to figure out the right C# equivalent for the corresponding VB.Net code.

I've used this tool in the past to "eliminate" the last remnants of VB-code in our organization. And when you do a job like that, on that scale, you definitely notice the differences.

A quick list of things you can expect to cause troubles (from memory and may not be 100% accurate):

- The difference in VB global/C# static semantics.

- The (default & overuse) of late-binding in a typical VB codebase. (While that wasn't an option for me back then, this can now be overcome by using "dynamic" everywhere, but that's hardly idiomatic C#)

- VB Modules can cause issues.

- For a full conversion, you'll typically have to rewrite all code using the functions and operands only found in the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace. Not all these have straight up C#/BCL replacements.

Etc etc.

For being superficially so similar, a conversion job is actually much more work than you would typically imagine.
