Let's see...

For starters, If you're convicted of a crime, you are much more likely to receive a shorter prison sentence than a minority. The sentencing difference between whites caught with cocaine and blacks caught with crack is an example of this. In general, when interacting with law enforcement for whatever reason (traffic stop, suspicion of drug possession of marijuana, etc.), you are much more likely to receive a warning and not be arrested or given a ticket compared to a minority. Also, when driving across the panhandle of Texas, the police are less likely to stop you. Whenever I've driven through there, police take one look at me and like clockwork, pull me over, often times calling their K9 unit out.

On dating websites, you're more likely to appeal to more women than a minority. And if you date outside of your race, the parents of your significant other are more likely be more accepting of you than someone who is black.

If you were accepted to a prestigious university or received a job offer for a lucrative position, you wouldn't have to endure people questioning your abilities and whispering "He's only here because of affirmative action." I've experienced this despite scoring above the mean in all relevant categories.

> "Yup, you get the job because of your skin color and your genitals".

I don't think anyone has ever said this specifically. I believe that you're falling into the same trap as the individual that I pointed out above, assuming that you are at a disadvantage for a job because you don't get extra consideration for being a woman or a minority. There is no advantage. In fact, it is still a disadvantage. Even in Silicon Valley, a woman gets paid less for doing the same work as their male colleagues. If you want a recent example, look at the revelations coming out of the sinking ship that is Uber.

That not withstanding, In my experience as part of the team that does hiring where I work (tech company), I find other members show a bias for those who resemble their culture, that culture being people familiar with dank memes and who play video games. They don't realize that when choosing their preferred candidate that they have a preference. It doesn't mean they are racist, sexist, etc. It just means that they have a cognitive bias that they may not be aware of.

> Yet people are happy to claim that there's some kind of conspiracy to keep another race in power. I dunno... I've never been contacted and asked to join the conspiracy.

It's not a conspiracy headed by some cartoonish, mustache twirling villain. It is just the historical remnant of a time when the social order was segregated by race. Just because the civil rights act was passed in the 1960's does not magically wash away the effects of institutionalized racism. Institutions take time to change. It's certainly better than it was, but it's not perfect.
These tend to be imitations of an existing style at best with a sprinkling of randomness thrown in, and nonsensical at worst. Certainly nothing fascinating enough to have people queuing to experience it paid ticket in hand. Still, artistic creativity seems like a pretty lofty goal at this point so it wouldn't be the first place I would expect to see genuine creativity emerge.

They are still producing them because it's cheap due to "grandfathering" laws.

"grandfathering" means if you'd design an airplane like 172 today they wouldn't meet the safety standards and you wouldn't be able to produce them, but since they were designed back in the days, if they don't change the design, they can still produce them.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/14/unfit-f...

I fly 172 regularly. It's a safe plane, but you have to know quite a bit about engine and how it works to be really safe up in the sky. I had engine failure on take-off with extremely well maintained plane. Starting the engine is a pain in the ass for most civilians who don't understand 4 stroke engines.

Cessna 172 uses about 10 gallons of fuel per hour. That's quite a lot. I think in 2017 there's better options out there.
I sincerely hope this gets a good reception, and doesn't suffer the fate of previous attempts to add similar backends to the GNU toolchain.

In the past, backends for anything usable as an intermediate language received pushback as possible "escape hatches" by which one could glue proprietary code (whether frontends, backends, or optimization passes) into the GNU toolchain. That pushback mostly went away when the GCC Runtime Library Exception came out, which makes such proprietary combinations much less viable.

So, hopefully this will get merged, or at least get on the path to merging after further development.
true. And it's bad that it is THE launch game that suffers from that. It's likely to be caused by a poor port. The original of the game I believe runs at 720p. Scaling it up to 900p (it doesn't even go up to 1080p) in docked mode is probably causing it issues rather than the device actually having problems working in docked mode. I feel pretty confident that patches and updates to both the device and games should work these out :)
Imagine the free market purists get their way -- all funds are cut for NOAA and weather prediction is now left to private industry to provide as a service.

It is an article of faith among many that the free market always produces a better, even optimal, solution. That may be true, but what it is optimizing is profit, which is not a direct measure of the accuracy of the service.

For certain market segments, such as farming, there is probably a pretty strong alignment. But what about for, say, answering questions about whether climate change is real? Will we see a market for conservative-aligned weather information providers which delivers the product which the right wants to see? Likewise, will there be markets to provide what the left wants to see? I have a hard time seeing how that is an improvement over what we currently have.
Learn to read notes on guitar
Creating a recursive treeview in Svelte
It'd be interesting to use that approach without having each question need to be limited by asymptotically approaching a 100% per-question score. You could do so well on a question (proving things the teacher didn't expect the students to have learned at that level) that it would help you out with your scores on other questions.

Probably I'd just let the questions be scored with integers, start everyone off at 3, +1 for good points, -1 for bad points, and then take the Euclidean distance of all their question-scores to find out the total "length" of the reach the student has into good-answer space.

While it's hard to argue that it runs in the family to some extent in this case, David Friedman is an econ thinker in his own right and certainly goes way further into what most would call extreme libertarian/"uber-rational econ" territory than Milton Friedman ever did.

In the short term: probably not for small glue scripts, but it'll provide a serious alternative for larger web applications.

In the long term, we might see WebAssembly used as a means to implement JavaScript, such that you can count on the same set of features in every browser.

That'll depend on how well WebAssembly can interface with the DOM and with other browser APIs without needing JavaScript shim layers.

1) When you dispute the Onion, Facebook should take no action because it's legitimate satire (well known, founded 30 years ago)

2) When you dispute FAKENEWS_OUTLET, Facebook should decide against the fake news outlet, because it's not The Onion. FAKENEWS_OUTLET should have a means of being notified and disputing the decision.

Further, Facebook should not allow anonymous disputes, track what individuals dispute, and should use something that looks a bit like PageRank to determine complainant credibility (credible complainant are ones that report many fake sites, fake sites are ones reported by good complainants) supplemented by social graph metrics (eg, lots of credible friends, or follower of sites known to be uncredible).

Or was that rhetorical? I'm glad Facebook is doing this.

I would recommend an all-cylinder CHT and EGT graphic engine monitor (ideally with data recording, as that makes some aspects of engine management easier).

Keep the CHTs under 380F in cruise and under 400F in climb (380F is better, but not all planes can do that at heavier weights).
I don't get why people are so excited about WebAssembly, at least on the whole "replace Javascript"/"remove web bloat" aspect.

Right now we have Javascript and its assorted libraries, which, as bad as they are, come with the browser or at least are generally reused/cached very frequently.

People seem to fail to realize that everyone and their mother will dump their runtimes and their VMs on top of WebAssembly as soon as they will be able to. Java Applets 1, 2, ..., 100.

Yes, they will present it in a very fancy and attractive way, but fundamentally that's what will happen, cause who wants to rewrite everything for Javascript-land when they're not forced to? Competitive pressure will always push towards bloat, just look at Facebook and they Android-runtime busting app for an example.

I, for one, am looking forward to the day where, besides the 500MB of Javascript my 40 tabs are loading, I'll also load 1.5 GB of WebAssemblied formerly native runtimes.

For those keeping count, that's a 55-year-old bird. Flies like a dream. In fact, we flew it last night. Recently put in a brand new engine. We'll be upgrading avionics soon enough, too.

I got my pilot's license this year, and hope to continue the tradition of flying my family in the plane.

Take care of stuff and it can last a long time.

Last time I looked, few years ago it seemed the long term solution was to switch to diesel. Diesel has some advantages, higher efficiency means lower fuel consumption, energy per gallon is higher, but lower per pound. And also diesel is safer to handle.

Probably modern materials allow for reliable diesel aircraft engines that are lower cost over the life of the aircraft. But difficult though since the pace of development in the light aircraft industry is very slow and there is little money in it.
It's not one or two times when I've seen people take seriously some piece from Onion or equivalents (and then go ranting about Trump or whatever, even after pointing out it was satire, because it could be true).
I had a partial engine failure in a fairly new fuel injected Cessna 172 during descent to landing... didn't overfly the airfield to check wind, but landed instead.

The article states:

> Luckily, the Cessna’s engine is about as reliable as aircraft engines gets.

Unfortunately, that's not that reliable. Statistics I've read (can't locate them now unfortunately) indicate about 2 to 10 inflight engine problems per 100,000 hours, which doesn't sound a lot. But if you fly two hours a weekend, making 1000 hours over a decade, that's a 2 to 10% chance of encountering engine problems right there.
I actually don't know how much my frustration relates to the hackability of the ghc.

I'd LOVE to "write me a haskell". I've been trying for the last 3 days to wrap my work style around cabal/stack... It's so so so frustrating (especially on Arch Linux). This is something I come back to every 6 months or so.

Ideally, I'd be able to write Haskell that compiles into concise, trimmed down, readable javascript bundles, (as you can compile OCaml with bucklescript). But I don't think it's really possible right now. Once upon a time I successfully managed to get ghcjs to compile code using a library I was interested in. It spit out a 1 MB bundle, without even doing much of anything. No thanks! Organizing a project around this system sounds not very enjoyable.

Yesterday I managed to get Reason (OCaml) running, but figured out that using any existing OCaml libraries means I have to manually manage & compile them. Also, it doesn't seem like the OCaml community has nearly as many libraries as the Haskell community.

It's weird to say, but I think I am spoiled by npm-based tools! As hard as it was to get used to, I actually really appreciate their hardiness.

I still may end up going with OCaml/Reason and bucklescript, and just not worry about libraries. Maybe writing more functional programs will decrease my reliance on libraries in the first place, since stuff can be done so concisely.

If anyone has advice about this stuff, I'd gladly take it!
When lean of peak, leaner is cooler, so the overheating risk you're describing is generally from cylinders operated "not lean enough" if the intent was to operate lean of peak.

Emscripten is a cross-compiler tool chain. This is a back end for a compiler.

Currently Emscripten uses a fork of Clang/LLVM called fastcomp with a ASM.js backend.

This is a fork of GCC/Binutils with a WebAssembly and ASM.js backend.
But there's nothing in that passage to counter what I said. Illusion still needs some conscious entity to be fooled.

Besides, the idea that: "The underlying reality, however, what exists in itself and not just for us or for other creatures, is accurately represented only by the scientific image—ultimately in the language of physics, chemistry, molecular biology, and neurophysiology."

That's again a certain, centuries old, epistemology. And not a very good one. I would be better if he would have said "is best approximated" rather than "accurately represented".

Casual sexism is casual.
Your idea for a foundation of practical computing sounds a lot like MIT's 6.004 Computation Structures [1], which is available on OpenCourseWare and edX.

In 6.004, you start by learning about the digital abstraction and MOSFETs, then go on to logic gates, flip-flops, pipelining, instruction sets, and halfway through the course you use a circuit simulator to build a RISC processor called the Beta. Then you go on to I/O buses, virtual memory, and interrupts, and at the end of the course you can compile C programs for the Beta.

To get from having a processor to having a self-contained programming environment, you could work through a variation on jonesforth [2]. (You'd have to port it from i386 to the Beta if you wanted to keep the same architecture.)

There were two groups ("really conscious" vs philosophical zombies). If you accept what the article talks about, the thing which separates bith groups doesn't exist. So there is only one group. You could say that one doesn't exist (as the zombies, so far at least, are hypothetical, I'm inclined to choose them there), or you could say that they are both the same group. It's a lingüistic choice, not a contradiction.
Things are not much different today, unfortunately. See e.g. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/19/nyregion/fishkill-prison-....
It's just a nice pilot's plane, i.e. for flying, not transportation. It combines some advantages of the Cessna (e.g. benign handling, safety) and the Cirrus (e.g. modern, faster than the Cessna tractor). I've never owned one, so can't talk bout maintenance etc. though.

Well, with cs, it spans the range from theory through programming to cutting-edge development of computing solutions. There are lots of options to choose within the cs's career path:

Career Path 1: Designing and implementing software. This refers to the work of software development which has grown to include aspects of web development, interface design, security issues, mobile computing, and so on. This is the career path that the majority of computer science graduates follow.

Career Path 2: Devising new ways to use computers. This refers to innovation in the application of computer technology. A career path in this area can involve advanced graduate work, followed by a position in a research university or industrial research and development laboratory.

Career Path 3: Developing effective ways to solve computing problems. This refers to the application or development of computer science theory and knowledge of algorithms to ensure the best possible solutions for computationally intensive problems. As a practical matter, a career path in the development of new computer science theory typically requires graduate work to the Ph.D. level, followed by a position in a research university or an industrial research and development laboratory.

As for me, I think if you want to follow a path in career 1 then additional business and management discipline that can be a benefit in a long term that if you want to take a lead role within the corporation in your future.

Hopefully, that might be a help to your questions. Let me know what you have any others questions.
