well you can start by codifying your laws and getting rid of juries. there's different types of legal systems.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_law_(legal_system)

civil law / roman law, as used in a large part of the world including Europe. (different from civil law as the term is used in the US)

things are quite a lot more clear cut if you just codify (yes, exactly like code, our law books look like code in human language, precisely worded) instead of reinterpreting the law on case by case basis and some ancient writings reinterpreted to fit a modern setting (even they were made by smart folks, it's still almost religion)

As disposable cans, cups, bottles, and other packaging became more widespread in the postwar years, so did litter, and some blamed the companies that manufactured them—in 1953, for example, Vermont passed a law banning the sale of beer in non-refillable bottles. Consequently, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Seagram's, Procter and Gamble, Dupont, Dow, and others used their influence to found Keep America Beautiful.

The only reason I respond sometimes is because I disagree. Sometimes my controversial opinions prove to be a lot more popular than I thought.

I didn't need a job again, so I didn't call them. I still go by this company and have lunch with some of my friends there when I am in the area.

In many (most?) countries mobile data is cheaper than wired connections, but obviously with worse latency.

Slower too maybe, but we're long past the point it really matters, except for latency sensitive applications. 50+ Mbps is just plenty for most applications.

Only real need of wifi to save some battery power and maybe to get better latency and jitter for VoIP and interactive applications.

AFAIK, US and UK are still pretty bad. I guess they have to limit bandwidth and data volume to be able to, ahem, listen to their customer.

I consider Signal an imperfect but extremely useful option for a very specific use case: getting my family and friends to send me (and each other hopefully) encrypted messages, just cause.

And after having done that, I can say I see the genius of the approach Signal has taken.

Yes, but when you talk to regular people and their needs for web pages, apps, they are often either very trivial or unbearably complex. You can potentially automate away those very trivial with the current state of ML already, and there is a bulk of money there that goes to a lot of independent developers and smaller companies. And once you have such a system built, you can extend it as new advances in ML/GPU come, automating away more and more in the process. Even if you just prepare some vague templates for often performed tasks in business with limiting variations, those can be super helpful.

The point is that only really good SW engineers have any chance to survive, those low-skilled ones will be gradually replaced by automated reasoning.

There are definitely customers that are more expensive to keep than they are worth. I don't understand the calculus sometimes... Why are we burning 100 hours of developer time for a $5000 sale? There's not a ton of upside, and you can usually tell in the first meeting when a customer is going to be that kind of a pain in the ass.
Impressive work. One of my (far too many) ongoing projects, is also a GPU based glyph renderer. However I'm using a different method, which relies on some preprocessing/conversion of the glyph data. Described in as few words as possible my method could be coined as "trivariate polynomial distance fields". The renderer is mostly done, but there's still a lot of work needed in the glyph preprocessor to be robust and universally usable.

Months ago I posted a few screenshots on Twitter (https://twitter.com/datenwolf/status/714934185564225536), and the comment by Michael IV is spot on. The renderer has no problem with sharp corners, but so far the glyph preprocessor still struggles with it and I have to manually adjust the emitted output to get nice results.
But isn't etymology descriptive, instead of prescriptive?

And if it's prescriptive, how far do you want to go, etymologically? According to Wiktionary[1], the term originates from a Proto-Indo-European language (but doesn't give plural forms for those roots).

And isn't it also the case that once a word gets accepted into a language, it becomes a word in that language, no matter where it comes from? There are _several_ examples of such words, in all the European languages. The word "common", for example, dates back to Latin "communis", and I'm pretty sure the adverbial form for that isn't "communisly", so why the exception for Octopus?

I missed that link. It makes some good points. Of course, if you had $200 million in 1974, and your marginal tax rate was 75%, you would not hold it in person but would shield it in a corporation. I'm sure his tax lawyer would have found some structure that would have brought down his taxes significantly.

How do you lose a billion dollars? Does that take a special kind of intelligence? Or does it maybe indicate that he takes irresponsible risks that sometimes pay off, but sometimes go horribly wrong? Could his relative success be explained by survivorship bias?

Stalkscan: usable front end for FB Graph search
I used octopus merges once for a deployment system that I built when my team switched from SVN to Git. Since there were a lot of developers working on different parts, it was many times required to test multiple different changes in parallel in the QA system.

I built a small web UI where developers could select and unselect development branches, and it would octopus-merge all selected branches into the master branch, and force-push that state onto the QA branch (and deploy it to QA, of course). So QA would always be master + all development branches that were currently being verified. By using a Github webhook, it would update the QA system whenever master or one of the branches being verified was pushed to. I'm not in that team anymore, but I think that deployment tool is still humming along nicely.

> Android phones don't get updated because for the manufacturers ensuring their pile of hacks works with a newer version of android would represent a non trivial amount of work for the oem whom already has your money. The only way they can get more of your money is to sell you a new phone which they hope to do between 1-2 years from now.

The fact you need Android device OEM's support is precisely the problem here, and that's mostly (mostly - admittedly not entirely) to blame on the way that manufacturers need to update their Linux kernels. Linux' monolithic nature makes this a major pain, especially since component manufacturers (for the SoC, touchscreen, fingerprint reader, camera sensor) implicitly require maintaining some non-mainline Linux. The manufacturer now serves as the central hub coordinating this 'mess' to update their devices. Mostly (again, not entirely) due to Linux, Android updates are dependant on manufacturers compiling update packages which are essentially full system upgrades. Each time they make an upgrade for a phone, they need to make an entire new device image.

The manufacturers have clearly shown to be incapable of handling this responsibility, both in terms of their abilities as well as their motivations. A more modular OS would go a long way in taking away these responsibilities, since it will be technical means by which responsibilities can be given to a better motivated third party. Clearly we should be looking towards a model more akin to Microsoft Windows, where there's a more stable driver API/ABI for drivers, that allows the OS' original manufacturer to update critical components and introduce new features without depending on an incapable/unwilling manufacturer. Make system updates not full system upgrades, but make the system able to update some components with reasonable confidence that things will keep on working. With such a system Google or the "Open Handset Alliance" - or depending on the openness of this new Andromium, others like the LineageOS community - can take care of updating phones instead of the device OEM.

In such a scenario you might still be stuck on graphics drivers from several years ago with serious rendering bugs, but at least security issues like Stagefright [1] and Dirty COW [2] can be effectively dealt with in a matter of days. That's a huge improvement over the current situation, where the majority of Android devices are still affected by both issues, years or months after their publication.

Imagine how unlucky we should be to be fully dependant on Asus or LG for software support on our laptops. But that's exactly the situation on our phones.

It's an odd statement to make, given that he states he's not a programmer in the notes.
Yeah I wasn't terribly clear :) My argument is just FOR getting a check-up, not against doing IF. Especially if you're practising it long-term, you want to make sure that it isn't something that's uniquely harmful to you.

To go back to the original comment, it's probably less about 'talking' to your doctor literally; sure there's nothing they can say about IF that you can't find out yourself, but they can get you blood tests and perform the right physical tests to make sure you're suitably healthy to do IF correctly without harming yourself.
The real problem is that there are very few delivery companies, so everybody has to pick one.

Just like banks. Name any random bank in the world and you'll have 50 people saying "Best. Bank Ever", 50 more people giving you horror-stories and saying "Worst. Bank. Ever", along with many more people who are entirely indifferent.

At the volume the delivery companies are operating, with millions of deliveries a day, even 0.05% of failures will affect a large number of people, and will result in "Worst. Delivery. Ever" complaints.

Sadly there's not a great solution. No matter which delivery company you choose you might get your stuff quickly, or you might not. The only practical step you can take is make sure you minimize risk (multiple smaller packages + insurance).

The website's CSS uses the following fonts for code blocks:

So either it is using one of those fonts (Courier and Nimbus Mono L are similar I guess), the site is serving you special CSS that I'm not getting (and I've tested it on Linux and Windows), or Firefox has done some weird font aliasing and one of the above is being treated as Nimbus Mono L.
