Not to get too far into it, but it's hard to make antifa look any worse than they actually are. A bunch of cowardly, destructive, eyes-shut communist nincompoops parading around in crowds because they are too timid to stand alone for their indefensibly stupid beliefs; that is, if they're not just there to fit in.

I don't think you have to be a neo-nazi to appreciate how pathetic and sad antifa are. I do not think you have to be a neo-nazi to have a knowing laugh about the thumb-sucking intellectual fragility they represent.
Termite is pretty good and bug-free in my experience.
In the early to mid 90's, I was writing games for a living. We had a 2 disc game that we managed to reduce in size via in-house audio, image, and video compression down to a single disc.

Our publisher felt we were too far along to drop to a single disc and remove code paths, so we ended up with a ton of duplicate content instead.

There are all sorts of reasons to release with multiple discs, not all of them are obvious.

It was just a matter of the same thing Etsy did, for the most part, minus Apache/PHP plus nginx/Python. I used the acme python module, and Celery for queuing. It's pretty engrained into my existing system that I don't think it'd be much use for me to explain it too heavily.
In the UK, Parliament is sovereign. The Judiciary are independent, and only make rulings based on current law and precedent. Some sought clarification that the current Government (executive branch) could not invoke Brexit without regard to Parliament. The Courts decided that was the case according to current law, precedent and convention. The Government then put it to Parliament that they be given the power, that passed, meaning if put to the Courts again, they would have to now find in favor of the Government.

Frankly a triumph of correct process being followed, and an example of the real independence and effectiveness of different branches of government in the UK.

Parliament is the people, which is why it is sovereign. In the USA, so much power has been devolved to the executive branch (the President) by the people (Congress) that the President has increasingly become sovereign, and access to legal recourse increasingly difficult. One reason the USA is number 21 on the 2016 Democracy Index, and now in the "Flawed Democracy" category.

I'm a very happy non-smoker but I would think that the biggest reason for smokers to stop nowadays is the leper colony stigma aspect.

I would think that smokers (rightfully) feel like a shunned minority when they are told to smoke in alleys far away from the general population.

They have to make a special effort to go somewhere to smoke because they can no longer light up at a restaurant or while they're doing errands.

It's hard to pretend you're "cool" when you're standing by yourself and society doesn't want you anywhere near them.

So there's no coolness and no convenience.
They also made a number of "free" games that were published by SoftDisk. This was all pre-modern software era though. If that happened today, it would end up very similarly to how the Occulus case ended up.

Supply can go down. But don't forget that demand can also go down.Car manufacture isn't the only job that can be outsourced.
A car is good to have, sure, that doesn't mean I need to use mine every day. I've started catching the bus in to work, instead of 45 minutes of battling traffic in the morning I now have an hour and a half to read or draw or code or just nap even. I also have the option to stop in to the city for a meal and a beer on the way home without having to worry about overnight parking, fares are about as much as petrol and the buses here run on LPG which in my eyes is a plus.

This obviously holds less true the further from the city you go but what I'm trying to get at is that you can own a car and still benefit from good public (or in this case, alternate) transport. I still need to keep the car registered and in working order to transport my double bass from time to time and want to keep it that way for all the benefits that you described. What I don't is for me to be shackled to the thing as my only form of transport, much like you don't want to be shackled to a bus timetable.

Just because these services exist, doesn't mean that you need to give up your car to benefit from them (and that's not even going in to benefits provided to people in your community who CAN'T drive).

Just a few days ago I was walking into Costco to buy a loaf of bread. Outside at the food court was an old Chinese man with what looked like a 4 year old grandson. The old man was playing a bamboo flute, very beautifully, while his grandson ate some food. The whole area was filled with some beautiful music which transported me back to time I have spent in China. I wish listening to live music was more common again.
Dear Product Managers: Build Great Teams
Not entirely convinced. The cheesegrater Mac design let you upgrade on the fly...

I certainly agree about the scale problem, but Apple has never really competed in that market. You could easily buy 1,500 Dells but the graphics department only got 6 Mac Pros. And they still upgraded them in ways that weren't too onerous.

> Apple still has some pretty serious mind-share in the professional market, although it fades year over year

Yes. Sadly for Apple, that self-build or custom-built PC gives you double the performance for half the price. When time is money, it makes a big difference.

And if you're running Adobe software, it's not that big a shift.

I worked on a project a few years ago for a UC Berkeley biostatistics professor who believes he has a theoretically proven approach of using non-randomized observational data to create an asymptotically-efficient unbiased estimator of counterfactual treatments. My impression as a programmer who has only dabbled in machine learning is that this is a phenomenal claim far beyond the state of the art.

My job was to take an inefficient proof-of-concept R package, and make it computationally and memory efficient enough to run on real-world datasets. I failed totally. The obvious explanation would be that I just wasn't able to understand the math involved well enough to implement the algorithm despite immersing myself in it for months. My personal guess though is that both the paper and the reference implementation were flawed in some way that made the task impossible.

Anyway, the paper is here:

Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Dynamic and Static Longitudinal Marginal Structural Working Models

Petersen, Schwab, Gruber, Blaser, Schomacher, and van der Laan; J Causal Inference 2015

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4405134/pdf/nih...

And the R package here: https://github.com/joshuaschwab/ltmle.

My understanding was never perfect, but my belief is that there is kernel of insight in this approach that has not yet been explored in machine learning. Alternatively, maybe it works as is, and just needs a better implementation. I'd love to see someone implement this approach, or fix it, or discredit it. As it is, I think it's potentially incredibly valuable work that is getting very little attention.

Orthogonal to quality but imperative to velocity.

At the end of the day despite Go's failings it's a good (maybe the best?) language for large projects and teams because it compiles fast, is easy to anyone to run anywhere, tests run quickly, programs execute quickly and there is already good tooling/editor support.

Nothing beats efficient workflow for improving velocity.
We have a saying at my work:

"If it's not tested it doesn't work"

while this was originally talking about software, it's amazing how many other places it applies. Do you require code reviews before commit? Periodically sample a few random commits and see if one was done for each.

Heck, if you don't test your system for running automated tests, it may be that you aren't even testing what you think you're testing.

>This happens in India too

This can happen anywhere. One or two isolated incidents cannot be used to infer a trend. I can bet you it happens a lot less (like 10x) here than in Mexico even though India's population is 10x of Mexico (so effectively the situation in India is 100x better than Mexico).

Which is what we did, obviously and nobody is allowed to run anything manually while SSHing to production.

But there was a tremendous organic resistance to that from the very same "culture of excellence in engineering". "How can we be sure it works if it's automated?"
"It's safer to manually review the log"
"How can you automate something like email tests are or web tests?"
"It's no worth automating this procedure, we only release this app once a year, and it only takes 5 hours".
Expect to hear these kind of claims when engineers have got the equality "menial work == diligence == excellence" pummeled into them for generations.
Gogs is pretty sweet. After hearing about it here I installed it on my old home server with constrained memory because I couldn't meet Gitlab's (IMO) obscene memory requirements. It's perfect for my needs as a hobbyist and I even use it as a secondary Git server from work.
It's also way, way faster than a self-hosted Gitlab or any public Git server, so even though my current server has more than enough memory to run Gitlab, I still use Gogs.

The only (minor) issue I've had with it was when I tried to push the OpenCV repository to it, just for the hell of it, on a heavily constrained VM (Debian with 256 MiB of RAM). The poor thing just couldn't handle it without crashing until I upped the memory to a couple gigabytes.
Oh! Are you not familiar with the 'free range kids' people? They've been in the news a few times over the last few years. Their thing is that this is a better way to parent and they're being unreasonably prevented from doing so by social norms and often laws. Without that context the article probably looks a lot weirder than it is.
I could not agree with you more. My most recent job doing Java dev at a major US tech company has really soured me on this style of Java. Annotations beyond null/nonnull seem to obscure the code and make it far less maintainable. Besides being largely superfluous the DI frameworks — primarily Dagger — I've seen widely used at said company have led to numerous production memory leaks because they obscured object scope and lifecylce from engineers.

The US immigration policy is very deliberately focused on giving visas to highly educated people. A large fraction of the visas are actually granted based on immigrants already having job offers. And among the rest who are unemployed, a large fraction is because family members/dependents of, say, H1-B visa holders are not allowed to work by law.

> And frankly, I suspect this is at least partially what happened in the US. Trump, the republican candidate, certainly appeared to be to the left, economically, of the democrat candidate at a time when lots of people got systematically worse off.

This is something people are missing about the "alt-right" movement, it's not particularly right wing economically, it's certainly a different beast from the neo-cons. In Australia our equivalent is probably the one nation party, but they are to the left of our Labor party.

> I think that partially the democrats have been hijacked by this immigration, tolerance, ... ideology. It has gone too far. Traditionally, of course, the right is pro-immigration (cheap labor, acceptance of very weak employment conditions, tolerant of outright abuse and exploitation), and the left is anti-immigration, because they're trying to improve the position of the poor in society. Improving that position through scarcity of course works.

Yes, the left needs to go back to it's base and represent the working class. They've put for too much energy into playing wedge/identity politics and lost the working class to the likes of Trump.
Either your prove that assertion of "reduced investment" or you retract your comment.

Apple haters...
Article 50 is part of the Treaty of Lisbon. Any member state can trigger article 50 and leave the EU. The time to debate whether or not article 50 was in some way a tyrannical or unjust was during the crafting of the law. So we can assume that it was deemed acceptable and agreed by the member states.

If your claim is that article 50 is tyrannical then the Treaty of Lisbon itself should be changed to remove article 50. Barring that, I don't think there is legal standing to try and prevent article 50 from being triggered. It was put to a popular vote and the PM is respecting the will of the citizenry.

So we should invest more in education so we can have even more highly educated people?

We should also make it easier for people to take risks (one of the most common attributes of successful entrepreneurs is that they came from upper-middle/upper class backgrounds) by providing a better safety net for those that want to venture out on their own. Socialized healthcare, investing more in education so citizens aren't mired in debt, etc are ways to do that.

I would venture that at least half of successful entrepreneurs are not special or exceptionally brilliant, but they are intelligent- enough, well-off enough to take "risks" over and over, and connected-enough to get others to help with those plans.

We have a massive pool of Americans that could do a hell of a lot more for the country if everyone were given the same opportunity that the top 10% get.

Proteus may be nice as a "babby's first electronic" program, but as an actual EDA capture tool it's a fucking disaster (we use it at work, I wish we didn't).

If you want to make a LED blink, buy a actual arduino. If you want to simulate actual analog electronics, bite the bullet and learn SPICE. If you want to actually layout circuit boards, buy ANYTHING else.

Basically, as soon as you have an actual, complex board, the DRC system shits itself, and you wind up having to manually, visually check your layout before manufacturing, rather then letting the software that's supposed to do it do the checking.
Should We Stop Using Agile Story Points?
Definitely. Though I admit I prefer automation or red tape where possible.

What you can say about Japan, is that since technology-wise it tends to be behind the US (of course this too is a gross generalization), you can expect most non-startups to use bureaucracy over automation (and modern DevOps practices in general) to regulate production operation quality. The unfortunate side here is that bureaucracy is much more fragile and when it fails, it tends to fail spectacularly.
