After graduate training in biomed, I am horrified of going to a doctor. After seeing what goes on (ie, lots and lots of NHST + p-hacking), it is really difficult for me to understand how anyone can tell if modern medicine is helping or hurting people overall.

It would actually be miraculous to me if it is the former, to the point I would be tempted to believe there is some occult driving force leading humans in the right direction.

However, I was thinking about similar the other day regarding the dentist. Say I go get a teeth cleaning. Did the polishing cause my teeth to be cleaner, or did the cleaner teeth cause the dentist to do the polishing? I feel like there is some kind of semantic game being played there.
Thank you for the links. Will explore them. As I quoted, I was just exploring these over a weekend.

Personally I am enjoying terminology very much.

git itself is the real force behind the OSS impact.
Github model while successful was merely replacing sourceforge and google code. People always had ways to host and share open source projects.

Github enables centralization of code which is not really inline with philosophy of git being fully distributed . Gitlab with its OSS model and the ability to host your own git service makes is bit closer to that vision than Github is.

Myself. I've been harassed by two different subs including SRS with people trying to dig up info on me for daring to post to /r/worldnews comments about global warming. Not even denying it but pointing out how climate science is mostly based on computer models.

Their subreddit is purely just linking to comments they disagree with and find the most "disgusting". They can put as many disclaimers as they want but I just don't see how a subreddit that is purely there to link to comments they absolutely hate, can lead to anything but harassment.
> what Erlang's releases do for the ERTS platform

That's the difference between an industrial-strength platform like Erlang, and a dev-centric deployment nightmare like Python. Java is normally on the enterprise side of the spectrum, but unfortunately it didn't get deployment right for quite a long time, even though it appears it's getting there lately.
A friend of mine loves classic army vehicles and bought a Willys to restore.

Since he had no garage and was about to start living in a newly built house he moved the car to his house and figured out that by pulling a couple of very long bolts he could remove the whole facade from his living room in one go.

So this he did, rolled the Jeep inside and proceded to work on it for the next couple of years. His gf moved in with him and they had breakfast on the hood and used it as furniture until the work was completed some spring morning in the 90's.

My friend got a stepladder and started to work on removing the facade once again. His neighbor, curious type, hangs over the hedge and asks him what he's doing. My friend (his name is Rob), tells the neighbor that once every couple of years you have to release the facade of your house to clean up behind it. Neighbor says 'good idea' and proceeds to borrow step-ladder and tools to remove facade from his house as well.

After a while of this Rob goes into the house, starts up the Jeep and drives it out straight through the front garden and hedge, parks it in the street and then replaces the facade of his house without so much as a word to the astonished neighbor :)
I have written small kid's experimentations in QBasic, and it was fun at the age of 13, but then when I had to use VBA at the age of 28 after considerable amount of experience in C# (among others), it was painful. Is this because of elitism? No, it is because VBA has some terrible properties, which are not true for VB.Net. VB.Net is mostly OK, I just don't use it.

I'm also glad they keep that product alive, because in addition to the many positive aspects meantioned in the comments it makes sure that the CLR evolution takes into consideration the aspects needed for a more broad variety of languages.
I completely disagree.
Normally you choose ONE core language and you use only that in a monolith application.
I can admit different languages for the unit tests, like groovy on java side or F# on .net.
Or using two languages on the same platform, like Scala and Java on the JVM and C# + F# on .net.
Or one language server side with the web side written in javascript or in something else.
If you are not breaking your application into micro services using several languages is just a very very bad smell.
And in this case, apparently, they are using python, ruby, javascript, java, go and perl.
I would say that from my point of view this is unacceptable and it is just a symptom of scarce planning, as we have seen in this incident where apparently nobody thought to plan for a backup test.

I don't remember reddit banning anyone when a subreddit falsely accused some kid of being the boston bomber. Infact I don't remember the admins even saying a word about it.
Seems to me like they haven't decided on the premium pricing yet and that's why they state it only as "free access for a limited trial period".
Honestly, Carmack sounds like he is smitten with VR/Oculus, at least in the earlier videos.

I don't think he was treating this very rationally...it was like love
Yes, it's not my preferred platform at all but we all inherit projects. By leaning too heavily on the _dynamic_ aspects of Java (like reflection) it is possible to get Python-like speeds and constantly running the risk of OOM. But with better tooling than Python, at least. (For small languages that interop with the JVM, I must say I had a lot of fun with LuaJava - Swing was actually pleasant)
Yep, another beautiful design by Pininfarina

How did you extrapolate low wages to hatespeech against Eastern-Europeans? This presupposes quite a lot and suggests a lot more about you.

I made a pretty specific and narrowly tailored statement. Your postulate primarily neglects reality.
> I would report this to the author but I don't see any way to do so.

Godspeed, I moved away from all suckless software because the developers are all massive jerks. They'll ignore your bug reports unless you spend an unreasonable amount of time doing intricate debugging, and if you refuse they'll be sure to remember your name and act hostile if you ever go back into their IRC. That's been my experience with Surf and something else (I don't remember what, but it wasn't st) anyways.
For the Ruby dev positions, be prepared with a few links to open source Ruby projects you've written on Github et al, or contributions to open source projects. Not a hiring strategy I'd agree with, but I guess that's what they've decided on.

I asked if they'd do a 'challenge' of some sort, but they didn't like that approach, and returned with 'Please look at our buglist and submit a patch then'. I find that quite an inventive way to get your defects looked at.
Why do you bother posting cliched platitudes that a bot could post?
This is non-sense, something like Spring boot is easy to comprehend, there's no labyrinthine mess whatsoever. You've got the choice to use other simple frameworks like Spark, or plain libs like Jersey + Jackson. All in all it's still the same, you write your Controller, your services and that's it. Where is that complicated?

And I'm a big fan of Clojure, but it's not because Clojure is cool that Java becomes de-facto a big pile of poo. People have been drilled by so much FUD about Javaland that they simply can't stand to try it correctly without preconceptions.
How does this book compare with "Operating System Concepts" (aka the dinosaur book) ? I've read neither, but plan on teaching myself more about OS—after I complete "Elements of Computing" and "Computer Systems: A programmer's perspective." (hopefully in the next six months)

I don't know much about this but couldn't you use Emscripten and still get good performance?

Emscripten also has a wasm backend in progress it seems so if you begin using Emscripten today you might gain from that in the future?
Performance? I can't think of a terminal emulator which performs worse than iTerm2 on any platform; other than maybe Cool Retro Term, but I don't think performance was much of a consideration there in the first place.
I have thought about this a lot. I pass my elementary school on my way to work each morning. As kids we just walked there it was a 10-15 minute walk. At around the 4th grade we took our bikes. We were accompanied by our parents the first week or so and then just walked in groups. No danger, no incidents, nothing. And this was true for all kids that attended the school. There were maybe 3 out of the 40ish kids in my grade that lived too far away and arrived by car. These days...there's traffic backing up all around the school, every single kid arrives by car, the thingy where you can lock up your bikes is completely empty.

Our days as kids looked like this: Back home from school, lunch, play until the night...usually outdoors wherever we found interesting stuff. No set dates or sheduling, you just walked over to your friends house and figured out what to do, maybe pick up a couple of other friends. If someone wasn't there you just tried the next house. The activities involved climbing trees, building your own boat to paddle on a small creek and other things that would be considered deadly activities these days. Lots of sports and getting dirty, too. Surprisingly enough no kids got abducted. On the flip side I watched very little TV (we didn't have a TV for a decent chunk of my childhood) and I didn't have any computer for a good chunk of my childhood either.

I also think parents spent more quality time with their kids "back in my day". Family trips to the zoo or just playing football in a park or something. I see these parent/kid teams a lot less these days. It's a very strange development because the benefits seem so obvious to me and the "downside" is spending more time with your kids or letting them do more things they enjoy.

Well, I've made a solar system simulator before. Nothing great, but it was sufficient to convince me that is just a matter of perspective. The "law of physics" used was:

d = sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2)
F = G*m1*m2/d^3

That would just be summed up over all the objects included in the system. However, when visualizing the results, I could set (0,0,0) wherever I wanted. I could put it at the solar system barycenter, I could put it at the center of the sun, I could put at at the center of the galaxy (this leads to interesting vortex-like trails...), or I could put it at the center of the earth. The easiest was actually to use the solar system barycenter on an arbitrary date.

Same here. I was a "data researcher" (read: data capturer), at a fortune 500 company. They had an office in Cape Town, South Africa. Taught myself VBA, and then VB.Net to automate some of my work. It is a few years later and I have landed myself a job as a full time C# dev.

"Walking, just walking, walking?"

This reminded me of the short story "The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury:

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

We've studied this story in the English class (probably some 25 years ago).
Plenty of people questioned wherever there should be a referendum. More people questioned whether a simple majority was appropriate.

By the time of the vote, people questioned whether they had enough information, and after various "promises" were withdrawn mere hours after the result was announced, further questioned what the plan was.

We still don't know the plan.
> I believe among other developers

I don't know. I'm very hesitant trying out GitLab now whereas I was interested before.
In four years full-time F# use, I still find standard LOB apps work better with an OO SOA structure at the high level. I've tried various methods of designing FP-style architectures for those apps but nothing has ever ended up nice and clean as a standard interface-based SOA (in F#) and a standard OO DI utility. At the low-level, F# is awesome for immutable records, ADTs, combinators, etc., in a way that C# would be hard to replicate just because the syntax would be so foreign.

So I think there's an opportunity for the F# market to explode as C# devs start to realize the utility of such things at the bottom level (and also for making interesting combinator-based libraries like suave). But in order to get there, I think the stepping stone has to be a change of emphasis in the F# world, to show off F# as a "better C#", starting with standard SOA-style OO-style frameworks, emphasizing a similar style (tupled explicitly-typed fn params, ext methods rather than pipe, C# naming conventions), and then just bumping the lower-level implementations of things and the domain model to ML style.

Going head-first functional-first I think leaves F# useful to just a handful of developers, where everyone else just wants their objects and DI frameworks back.
I agree. Their catastrophe is not the kind of thing that represents mild hiccups in operations that will be quickly resolved by the same employees who allowed this scenario to occur the first time around. This isn't the result of a single oversight. It screams of a systemic problem with the way the business operates - period. Maybe every project is rushed out with the deadline being the only metric that counts, quality be damned. Or maybe they're missing talent in areas that matter - like experienced postgres DBAs managing the database rather than having the developers and/or someone who has only ever used MySQL trying to wrangle it.

What they went through is what you'd expect from a first-time pet project, not a professional business out to make money. I suspect they prioritized trying to scale with enough features to catch up with the competition above all else, to the point where sustainability is an afterthought. When desperately trying to gain market share is more important than the quality of the product, this is what you can expect.

Causality is important when you want to design interventions.

A non-causal regression model on {Y={CA, no CA}, X ={Blonde hair, dark hair}} may be able to replicate the observed effect that blonde hair and skin cancer go together. However you cannot use that regression coefficient for coming up with an intervention. Dyeing the hair is not going to reduce cancer risk although the regression model will predict exactly that.
