>While it's viewed positively in some situations no culture views it as a universally good thing.

Well, we're talking about the natural way of living -- and death is a corner case, as it's not about living, but about the end to life.

Still, even with that, and even with all the grievance about the death of those we know and ourselves, death is seen as an essential part of the cycle of life in almost all cultures (and most, if not all, religions).

But that's orthogonal, as we aren't talking about what cultures view as good or bad, but about what is inherently good or bad. And we haven't established that death is bad anyway. Just that it is sad and painful. But the alternative could be even worse (e.g. for the species at large, or for society, or for the planet's ecology, etc). Death for example is a primary factor in evolution -- we don't know of another way to get to intelligent life and eventually, us. Except, you know, God creating an all-perfect human pair...

Besides, you (in the US) think Baby Boomers are a problem? Imagine having Babylonian-era Baby Boomers in charge still. (Rather, new people wouldn't even been born. The generation beating death will say: ok, we're good as we are. Fuck future generations, and let's keep it to us).
9$ seems really so low, I cant imagine charging less than hundreds of dollars for this.
Coders is empirically not ambiguous to the point of impeding communication, given that coder is actually in use. Language changes over time. Choosing to try to prevent that is of course something you may do, but it rarely will prevent change from happening.

My goodness, within this field itself computer used to refer to a person, not a machine. Run into any ambiguity there recently?
> I really don't know if it's a string. AFAIK the framework could give my ints when it sees a number.

In addition to alexvoda's comment: If you don't know what you get from your framework, then how do you know that you database frontend can handle it? Maybe in some cases, your framework gives you a list of lists, or a hashmap, and your database has no idea what to do with it. I really hope that's not the level of thoroughness you spend on your professional work.

Besides, if your framework were statically typed, it would either give you a String, or some kind of Variant/Any/Object with a to_string() method, the output of which can be passed to your database. There, problem solved, no time wasted, and you can be sure that whatever your framework does, your database can handle it.
The price is the most impressive. $27 in bulk. $100 buys you 60 cores.

I would love to see some Blender render benchmark running on it.
Yeah, it isn't that America doesn't deserve its riches, it's that just about every current national government doesn't deserve its riches. The working class is as globally exploited as its ever been.

Been a couple of times a while ago. It was fun especially the first time. If you're read the stories it's fun to see some of the stuff in reality - Omaha, Buffett's house, the furniture mart, Borsheims, the steak house he goes to and so on. I also met Mrs B, now departed and had a book signed by Warren. Some of the fellow visiting shareholders can be interesting too. The actual talk you can see on Yahoo.

This is worth giving a second thought.

It's practically (literally?) instinctual to feel like the universe is happening to you rather than with you.
Thanks for the insights. Question about the inside view - do people really buy Kalanick's fake apologies/victim act at this point? We've gone through this ruse so many times, from the outside it just seems like a laughable caricature of malignant narcissism. From your comments about the CTO, I'm guessing he surrounds himself with "empathizable cover" after the classic abusive pattern (if you come after me, think about the damage it will do to the nice people around me).
>let's face it: those who like to hide behind "states rights", it all comes back to "states rights to buy and have slaves"

This is an idiotic strawman. That's the equivalent of saying that people who think countries in the European Union should be mostly free to implement their own laws are pro slavery.

Smaller localized government control vs one rule for everyone has little to do with slavery. There is no reason that slavery couldn't exist in a strong central federal government system either.
I definitely think it's a an interesting case of context, because if you say a quantity "could even be in the hundreds" it is unambiguously stating it could be within the singular hundreds. But change that into "is in the hundreds" and suddenly you aren't so sure.

Even the term "hundreds" alone seems to carry less ambiguity than its superiors, thousands, billions, etc. The higher the quantity, the more imprecision when using the plural form. I guess I was just trying to encourage a little more precision when talking astronomically, though retroactively I see that I could have been less of a dick about it.

> You are making my point, I'm very much in favor of primitive or very simple types. More complex types typically have a bad cost to benefit ratio.

What is a "simple type" in your eyes? Primitive types plus aggregates and arrays? What if your data structure is actually complex? Do you just stuff it in a hashmap?

True.

I was just answering the question "Why hasn't Git switched...People have been warning that SHA-1 is vulnerable for over a decade"

Don't start with Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It's all parables told in an old testament style that's hard to comprehend without already knowing what Nietzsche is about. I read The Gay Science first, and I thought it was a good starting point. It covers his big ideas and has the famous "God is dead" aphorism in it.
As a user, I am unable to efficiently differentiate between similar resources to determine which might be better or worse for me. Each resource appears in an identical box without supporting information - I do not know if a link leads to is a video or a pdf or a blog post or an interactive website.

It would also be useful to have information about why each is considered best and who it is best for (beginner, intermediate, advanced?). The votes don't really provide information.

Finally, the number of topics might be too broad too soon. Drilling down on one topic and getting all the details right is an alternative. Resources for ounders and web developers and backend engineers do not have a lot of overlap and the competing topics are noisy from the user's perspective...filtering by the user is not a substitute for the benefits that can come from a narrowly focused design.

Good luck.

First, you grant that other conditions have influence too, and not only as much, but more influence, than religious beliefs.

So, comparing homicide rates across countries disproves that more religion is necessary or sufficient for an ethical life.

(Let me note in passing that fairly secular northern Europe also has much lower rates of abortions, STDs, teenage pregnancies, and other societal ills, than other, more religious societies.)

Second, if we look at long term trends, violence has come down over the millennia, as religiosity has decreased (see Pinker's Better Angels).

Third, I concede that under certain circumstances in primitive societies you might achieve a reduction in crime by introducing certain religious beliefs (whether they're falsehoods or not). However, we should not strive for that, but for enlightened societies where that is not necessary anymore.
I really like Rob Pike's minimalist principles but somehow dislike most of his implementation choices. I can't be productive in acme due to missing my #3 arm, but I'd kill for structured regular expressions in vim.
From the article:

Mr Kim had sought medical help at the airport, saying someone had splashed or sprayed him with liquid

Perhaps he didn't act quickly enough. Lesson learned: if an unknown liquid touches you, get it off ASAP.
Well fair enough but that method of counting is not what everyone else does or assumes, so somebody just reading the title "120k writes per second" gets the wrong impression of whats going on.

(An uninitiated reader would assume you're comitting 120k rows per second from the title, whereas it's "only" 12k rows and "only" 3k actual operations over the wire. Still, 3-12k is pretty impressive)
It's not nitpicking at all.

Even in the worst example you could cherry-pick for the Guardian, the journalist just reported on something a US official said and explicitly distanced themselves from the more ridiculous claims. This makes them as bad as RT? Ridiculous. The Guardian constantly heavily criticizes their own government, the US government, etc. They are clearly not tools of the people in power.

RT on the other hand just does whatever is in the interest of the Russian government. The only reason it even exists is to try to push narratives favorable for the Russian government to a western audience. They're just a tool.

It requires some serious personal bias in order to see the two papers as the same.

Snowden/Putin is irrelevant as Snowden leaking that stuff was favorable for Putin. At the same time, the Guardian publishing it was not favorable for their government.
I'm not a heavy Twitter user so I must be missing something. How does a Twitter history make any difference to current usage? Do people actually dredge up and react to old tweets?

The First Ambassador. John Quincy Adams in St Petersburg, 1809-1815 [pdf]
I do not know what the worst is that he has done.

For sure he and his business partners tried to strongarm the german city / community of Egelsbach to sell it's airport (Germany's largest small airplane airport, near Frankfurt/Main) to him. The aim was to expand the airport, at the expense of the inhabitants. The upside would have been 1-10 jobs, the downside a lot of noise and reduced price of property and life quality.

A lot of intransparent things were going on, fortunately it seems that things came to a halt.

It's business. I would not believe the image of a business man of his class.

[Disclaimer: I live in Egelsbach, Germany, and I have followed the case with great concern.]

Intel Atoms are utterly useless for that. I'd wager they are useless for most anything that isn't memcpy-bound, so I wonder what makes them put 16 of them into one package.
A global economy built on minimally controlled capitalism will be the downfall of our natural environment and ultimately the species. There is continued proof all around us that this is the direction we're heading. We have the foresight to recognize this now, but sadly not the motivation to correct it.

Read 'Half Earth' by Edward Wilson to see his arguments for setting aside 50% of the surface land as pure wild nature, to preserve biodiveristy and, ultimately, us. I agree with many comments here that many established powerful nations spent much of the last few hundred years destroying parts of their own ecosystem to get where they are. The past is the past, though, and we face an uncertain future unless we band together to change this behavior now, regardless of borders or economies.
Your first point is interesting. People gloss over how disruptive the industrial Revolution was, and the downward pressure it put on the wages of farm workers.

I'm not convinced by your second one. Why didn't states like Portugal industrialise equally quickly? Or within America, why didn't states with more slaves grow faster? Germany has no history of slavery, and the same is true for modern industrialisation transitions like South Korea and China.

The topic has been studied in great detail in economic history. The consensus seems to be that however horrible slavery was, it wasn't fundamental to industrialisation.

Nonsense. Futures and options and how to use them to hedge exchange rate risks are covered in any good masters in finance (source: I have a masters in finance). You don't even need any advanced math (the ancient Greeks were using options to hedge their olive harvests).

The bank teller might not know about them, but the bank most assuredly has people that can help you.

Also, contrary to what your posts suggests (any serious amount of money), the amount of money has no bearing on how you would hedge its risk.
An order of magnitude less, I think.
> While both are essential, the hard, interesting, and more valuable part is the first, and "coder" captures the second.

Depends on what you find interesting. I'd almost consider this an elitist attitude. Eventually, somebody has to do the actual work to implement the abstract algorithms, and it's really a lot better when you've got a talented person that cares about those nuts and bolts details and the realities of hardware and networks and runtime performance.
Im not sure America gained from slavery in the long run. The economic cost of the civil war, the destruction of the South, and the countless dead were probably a net negative over what was gain from slavery.

America achieved massive wealth in spite of a violent history, not because of it.

"Neville observes that in the 18th century, when the tale of attempted fratricide took shape, historians were less sensitive to the rhetorical strategies of their sources. In Anna’s case, however, the problem was not that Gibbon, Diehl and the rest failed to note Choniates’s bias, but rather that they shared it. A woman so intrepid as to write history, that most masculine of genres, must have been power-hungry enough to wish, as Choniates claims, that she had ‘the long member and the balls’. Paraphrasing the words he put in her mouth, modern historians took them not only as fact but as the key to her character."

"But for modern historians, Anna’s histrionic grief for a father who had died thirty years earlier seemed so excessive that they sought a different explanation for her ‘bitterness’ – and hit on disappointed ambition."
That makes sense. I'm much less interested in the phenomenon of CF-as-global-TLS-MITM than I am in how responsible they are being with the position they've accrued, and handling vulnerabilities like this is a big part of that. So the fact that CF is in a spat with Google is a big deal to me, but I understand that's not the case for everyone.

Interesting specs for an IoT device. It looks more powerful than most current home PCs or laptops. How would you feel about hosting a small cloud or Kubernetes cluster on your coffee maker?

up to 16 low power x86 cores at up to 2.2GHz

16 SATA 3.0 ports
four 10 GbE controllers
four USB 3.0 ports
different TDPs starting at 8.5 W

I am hoping TruffleRuby, which is looking more like a drop in replacement for MRI Ruby, would solve all these problem.

It will still uses LOT of memory, but memory for most is cheap these days. Even it it uses double the memory of MRI and gain 10x the processing performance it is still a net 5x win.
I think you are misunderstanding the context of the parent's argument. I'm assuming he's not talking about all states' rights arguments, only those applied to the US Civil War.

If you look at historical documents, protecting the institution of slavery was clearly the main driver for the Southern states to secede. It relatively recent years, Southern apologists have tried to rewrite this as "No, they were just for States' Rights", because this is currently less offensive than saying they just wanted to own slaves.
This is classic Warren Buffett. He leads almost all of his annual shareholder letters with something similar. While he may be talking his book, he does it in a wry and genuine way that makes it a pleasure to read regardless.

> The affected party (in this case Cloudflare) has incentive to handle the situation in a way that's limit the damage to their customers and their customers customers (which are the ones affected).

Cloudflare has a much stronger incentive to handle the situation in a way that limits the damage to their reputation. As you note, researchers also have an incentive to maximize the benefit to their reputation. But the incentives for P0 are much more closely aligned to the interests of the public here than are the incentives for Cloudflare. The information revealed by the bug is indeed really bad, and there's likely no possible way to tell which of Cloudflare's customers were affected, much less those customers' users. No company wants to acknowledge "yeah, a bunch of our customers' data was compromised, and we have no possible way to tell whether your data was among the data compromised". Their incentives push them to downplay the impact; to accurately describe the potential impact to their customers would probably be disastrous for them as a business. In contrast, downplaying the impact would be contrary to P0's incentive to benefit their own reputation.

I see it as an antidote to the sort of mentally unhealthy information that society (such as TV, social media etc.) gives people.
