Hype headline, change it. AMD has almost always had ECC support in their desktop processors as long as I've used them. The motherboard makers are to blame for not implementing it.
Being ashamed of not being able to do X is not a good reason or motivation for learning it!

Another mistake is the idea which the article rightly denies, namely that you have to be smart enough to learn X.

The author makes a mistake too: she thinks she can predict the rest of her life. ("I realized I actually wanted to study physics for the rest of my life.") This last idea is related to the question adults frequently ask children, "What do you want to do when you grow up?"

The limiting factor in all these cases is how genuinely interesting you find the field and how much you want to learn it now. Which is a property of the ideas and the problems as much as of your personality.
I agree with you. But that's not the world we live in today.
I've also called out crappy interviews - while in the interview. I went on to be offered the job - but declined.
But how is it fair to start punishing the company overall with consumer activism just because there are allegations of misconduct?

How is it fair to always assume the best? This is not the first story of Uber's misdeeds.
Thank you. For this trip I was using a Canon 5D Mark III as my main camera, some were probably taken with my backup at the time (a Canon 40D). I had about 6 lens ranging from ultra wide angle to long telephotos. The photos should all have EXIF data intact if you want to see more details on a particular shot.

[edit]: while I generally agree with the sibling posts that it's not always the camera that matters, having a high end DSLR makes all the difference in the world for certain types of shots and situations. Others have pointed out many of the benefits but one of the biggest for me is the handling. Having dedicated (and programmable) buttons and viewfinder displays for all the key features mean that it's extremely quick to change camera settings (ISO/aperture/focal points/exposure compensation etc) to suit the moment, without having to hunt through menus or look at the screen. It takes a lot of practice before this becomes second nature though. I've seen a lot of people buy a high end camera thinking it will magically produce better results than a point and shoot. These people often end up disappointed because their results actually end up far worse because they haven't taken the time to learn how to use their equipment properly.
I find the fork vastly superior to chopsticks on a technological level.

> claiming he was a fugitive from justice (even though he hadn't gone anywhere)

IIRC, he was a "fugitive from justice" because he refused to fly to the States to defend himself in court actions there.

Which is a pretty weird definition of "fugitive", but it apparently meets the legal criteria.
I'm sorry, but I think you're simply incorrect.

The premise that Netflix is acting with mallace could be false or true. If that premise is stated and false, then the argument is valid yet unsound because it has a false premise. Valid meaning, the conclusion would follow from the premises if all of them were true.

If you remove discussion of the mechanism from the argument, so that it reads like the arguments stated in the first and second paragraphs, then the argument is invalid because the conclusion does not follow from the premises. That's what a fallacy is.
So you're against boycotts and people voting with their dollars? This is a core part of capitalism. If you don't like something, don't support it.
I feel like there is a "sacrifice for the greater good" mentality growing. Think about how many civilians the US govt killed in the middle east just so we could have decently priced oil. I think that mentality is bleeding into other areas, like Uber. The thinking goes: "We are the only ones working to solve transportation in ten years, so its okay if we are sexist today."

Nope. X99 i7s support 128GB and quad channel memory. Most of X99 boards come with 8 slots as well. However the setup is way over-priced, so I'm going to preorder Ryzen on day 1 if available. It just seems like phenomenal value.

> Because sync.Wait() isn't used, there's no guarantee the goroutine will execute at all before program halt.

This is the sort of reasoning I'd expect to see from C apologists. Go should be better...

There are implicit guarantees on when goroutines are scheduled, too. The scheduler makes some attempts at fairly spreading the CPU.
Sometimes what they charge you is not "market price" though. On my last trip my Uber driver took me via a huge curve and the charge ended up being ~ 40 dollars more than the projected value. I've filled out a form explaining the situation and most of the 40 dollars were immediately deducted from the fare on submission.

I don't know whether the driver made a mistake or took me on a "trip" deliberately, but if I was in a normal taxi, I would either have to pay, or fight with the driver.

Not defending the company culture, but the app does protect the consumer from some level of undesirable taxi driver behaviour.
Until it is blocked by ISPs. In the UK ISPs have blocked access to most torrent sites and other torrent related sites too.

It feels or seem the p2p era has seen its time at least for us in the UK, because of censorship and legitimate alternatives.

Oh! Sorry about that. Should be fixed shortly.
Hailo is for Black Cabs though, and they are significantly more (often 2-3x) the price of an Uber, probably because they are profitable.

The mathematical model is what is close to perfect. To me, theory implies a knowledge of actual process. I suppose that is a semantic point.
I have a 2013 air and love it. I'll be replacing it with a 2015 air fairly soon. Secretly hoping I'll help persuade them to keep updating it. The form factor is wonderful.
Sure, but it could also be confirmation bias. Why is it that there have been so many stories of misdeeds and they still haven't been punished?

In your world, it could be because they are an evil monster, and they bought off the cops and the plaintiff.

In my world, it is possible that none of them were instances of breaking the law and worth going after.

PS: read up on confirmation bias.
Fasting means no calories.

No you wouldn't collapse, the body stores fat exactly for this reason. When you fast, eventually your body switches to fat burning mode.
I've been fasting for five consecutive days every other week for over a year now (and in various less severe combinations for the three years prior to that). I switched up to five days mainly as a result of reading Longo's work. (Valter Longo is the head of the group that produced this research)

I rarely get hungry now, and whilst I have in the past experienced the "food explodes with flavor" sensation you mention, I don't any more. If anything, the re-feeding is something of an anti-climax.
It’s time to rethink collaboration tools
Yes, and my original comment was that DHH didn't do a good enough effort to convince me. And I was saying that I won't support it.
Surely not if you raise a point one time to get a sense of the waters. If the management doesn't like to hear opinions from subordinates, you could pick up that vibe and stop pushing back. It might require greater social and political tact than should be necessary, but no more than needed in normal life situations.

Granted, social IQ is on a scale just like analytical analytical IQ. It would be nice for engineers if we could be blunt and to the point in our communications and let rationality win, but people aren't like that.

I'm just arguing the other end of this, because I've sometimes seen engineers be abrasive while "technically correct", and then have it cause problems for them. Being pleasant in interactions is an important skill, and I feel like sometimes it gets disregarded.

Again,sometimes even with tact and diplomacy, your bosses can still be unreasonable, and that sucks.
This is my point, if the drinking doesn't matter so much as the "what you're doing" why does booze need to be involved at all?

"hours-long conversations over beers" sounds like getting wasted to me or at at very least tipsy.
When I was fasting for 24 hour periods (I really need to get back on that) I would drink black coffee and water.

I stopped drinking soda many years ago (apart from the odd coke at a party or something). Realised it was addictive. It just feels normal to always be drinking water now. I don't miss it.

Coffee, I turn my machine on in the morning and it's 50/50 if I remember to drink one during the day. I drink a fair amount of tea (PG Tips with milk, I'm English) though.
SolveSpace: http://solvespace.com/index.pl

The UI is really nice. Version 3.0 whenever it comes out is going to be awesome. You may also try FreeCad for things this can not model, but that has its own problems - particularly UI.

The OSS world still needs a full-featured NURBS library that supports trimming. Solvespace does, but the performance suffers as complexity increases.

There's ample evidence of what kind of company Uber is and consumers are under no obligation to give them the benefit of the doubt yet again, even if it does negatively affect selfless attempts to "add wealth to the economy".
Thanks for the link, I skimmed through the Direct Proof PDF - it seems very complicated. I have done some Discrete Math which I found fairly understandable once I went over it a few times as I could link it back to computer science. It was kinda like learning a very terse programming language.
Exactly. When handed an under-specified problem (semantics), hand back a lambda compiled in the target language (syntax). "What do you mean? African or European?"
Dang my bad. Thanks for clarifying.
I don't think there is any serious doubt that ATP28 was the group that did the hack (Bad assumption on my part in this case - most of the time people have accepted that but have doubts about it being a state actor).

I think CrowdStrike was the first firm to attribute it to them[1]. Note that APT28 is also known as "Fancy Bear", so you may see some reports attributing it with that name.

Nothing forcing you to believe it of course, but in the world of cyber attribution this is pretty decent evidence.

I know I'm in the minority but I actually never installed Uber because everything I read about the company's tactics and leadership disturbed me, from day one.
The laws ARE frequently insufficient though. We do not live in an ideal world.
You build from the different tuples in your list just one graph. Then it's just a simple DFS/BFS with one random start node. Which gives you your first component. Then you can get the second if you start at a node which is not in the previous component until you visited all nodes. This should all be in O(n).
For me it goes in waves. Hunger stops for a few hours, then comes back. To be honest, social life is the hardest part for me, I'm not going to watch my family eat and not partake!

I really dislike posts like these. The truth is that Uber makes the lives of millions of people better and that's why it's valued at $66B. There are far worse companies doing far worse things helping fewer people.

I mean, what is the end cause? shutting down uber? teaching it a lesson? will it really help reduce sexual harassment in the workplace? or are you treating the symptom instead of the disease?

This is just a rant against the so-called "Silicon Valley culture".
My understanding is there are only scheduling guarantees around synchronization points between goroutines through chans or mutexes and stuff.

Go's concurrency model is inspired by Hoare's communicating sequential processes which kinda has the same idea: http://usingcsp.com/cspbook.pdf

For instance in this program:

func main() {
point1 := make(chan bool)
point2 := make(chan bool)

go func() {
point1 <- true
fmt.Println("hello")
point2 <- true
}()

<-point1
time.Sleep(3 * time.Second)
<-point2
}

An unbuffered channel read is always matched with a corresponding write. Let's call the point at which `point1 <- true` occurs and `<-point1` occurs T1 and the point at which `point2 <- true` occurs and `<-point2` occurs T2. fmt.Println("hello") and time.Sleep(3*time.Second) are both guaranteed to occur between T1 and T2. If we didn't have T2 there's no guarantee fmt.Println("hello") would run before the program exits.

Maybe I'm wrong but this is my understanding of Hoare's and go's concurrency model.
Then you need to send information to agree on a monotonic clock time.

The smaller, yellow "c" buttons on the right hurt to use a lot, having a higher and skinnier profile. For fighting games that matters quite a bit, because there's a lot of quick button mixups. Playing some games on the N64 could be painful after a short while.

I imagine they went back because all the games expected the old layout by that time since it was used with the other systems, so it was just easier.
Hired.

Seriously that's the correct answer as far as any productive engineer is concerned right?
Java generics hardly could have "followed" C#, seeing as Java released them in 2004, and C# in 2005.
Another great product by the same company - Pentel Twist-Erase III: http://www.pentel.com/store/twist-erase-iii-mechanical-penci...

Some nice things about it:

- The tip is metal, so it doesn't flex and break the lead when you're writing.

- The clip is metal, so it won't break off after a couple months of use.

- The eraser is about an inch long, so you won't have to replace it every week.

- The rubber grip hasn't deteriorated in the 5 years I've had mine.
I don't know about London, but in Mexico City it's really the only option. It sucks, but it's the reality.

Even if you have your own car, there are now air pollution emergency measures in place which prevent cars (even new ones) to be used all days of the week.

Public transport is crap. There is metro and metrobus, but coverage is really small. There are also small vans moving around the city but those are not safe to use. Also be ready to sweat like a pig in any of those options. Forget about using public transport when going to a business or work meeting.

80% of Taxis are 10+ years old Nissan Tsuru which are uncomfortable and more often than not you are not sure if you can trust the taximeter. Also many of these taxi drivers do not want to use apps like google maps or waze so you end up taking longer. They know better than Google.

With Uber you can ask for a driver wherever you are and you know it will be safe, get a minimum comfort, you won't be overcharged, and you won't even need to exchange money with the driver.
I was speaking about fairness across the economy, not fairness within the company. For every Uber there are a dozen companies that actively seek out female employees for diversity purposes. I'm not aware of any data that suggest gender discrimination in the United States (and no, the wage gap is not an example of discrimination, as almost all of it is known to be caused by differing aggregate priorities between the sexes).
Commenting at 2am has its drawbacks...
As a software dev, without having any knowledge about quantum physics, reading about 'delayed-choice' particles, I'd say they are using some kind of lazy evaluation. Maybe the universe is actually a software simulation...
No, not all taxi industry is/was just terrible worldwide. That might be the case for some regions or even large countries, but you're oversimplificating things.

A thing may not "know" itself without recursion. Thus, some unknowns, contrary to popular logic, are still unknowns. We don't know how magnets work and it may be that our brains use how they do work in a specific way to do what they do.

On the other hand, they may not. It's the concept of holding both of these "facts" as eventual truths (irrationally resolved in the future) in one's mind at the same time that leads to dissonance. That's a good excuse for the scientific process, if there ever was one.

It could be. Consumer action affects the company which affects shareholders, so when there's consumer action over what are at the very least unethical practices, shareholders are affected. Both the company and the shareholders get punished - the company for what it's done, and the shareholders for funding the company without a care for its practices.

I've never used Uber before, but I have taken ECON101 and if I understand it right, it makes sense to me. Keeping the price fixed below the supply/demand equilibrium point (a price ceiling) creates a shortage. By increasing the ride price, they incentivize more Uber drivers to come online (supply ramps up) and encourage riders who have the means to take other modes of travel or those don't urgently need a ride to skip it.
Is outrage really a viable option any more for driving policy change? Seems like the last election proved that all you're doing is pissing away organizational energy.
The book "Corporate Confidential" is a must read.
If Party A accuses Party B of misconduct and Party B claims that the accusation is false (explicitly or implicitly), then someone is lying. If you aim to be nobly impartial until compelling evidence is available, the logically appropriate response is not "assume the story is false" but "assume the truth of the story is unknown". There's no purely logical reason to treat one story or the other as the one that should be believed by default. (Mind you, you don't have to refuse to make any judgement at all before irrefutable evidence is available. I personally believe that there are better approaches.) In this case, I don't know whether Uber has given any sort of response (whether to affirm or deny any of this), but absence of a denial certainly can't be construed to make their case stronger.

I too often see a tendency for people to treat claims of wrongdoing more skeptically than counterclaims of innocence, especially where gender is involved. That makes me very, very uneasy.

I feel the same way - not because either side is necessarily wrong, but because these kind of articles are grossly simplified. Uber is not pure evil, or pure good.

Even the #DeleteUber hashtag originated from a misunderstanding: https://www.axios.com/uber-didnt-deserve-deleteuber-22258932...

Certainly the article about sexism in the workplace is deeply concerning, but that doesn't suddenly mean Uber is a force for pure evil in the world and has done no good for anyone. It means, like many organizations (especially ones that are growing aggressively), they have serious internal problems. Travis immediately responded to the article, and I have no doubt that he is against rampant sexism occurring in the company. What would be the motivation for him to allow it to continue happening?
