If Haskell is better than Python, then writing the first version in Haskell and the second version in Python should yield two versions that are closer in quality than if you did the reverse order.
Assuming you can measure quality, this is a totally valid hypothesis to test!
Or like non-Jews hiding Jews from the Nazi police.

Obviously that's a dramatic example, but so is the drug dealer example.

If Uber believes that the taxi industry is wrongfully colluding with the government to try to stop Uber from operating, then it's not necessarily wrong for Uber to do whatever it can to continue operating.
Immigration here is incredibly relaxed. If you have a college degree, you can find someone willing to offer you a job, and you haven't committed a felony, you're welcome. People just choose not to come to Japan because they endlessly hear how supposedly racist it is here and how difficult it is to get over the language barrier.

And it may be a surprise to many westerners who find a need to push their cultural and political perspectives everywhere, but some people do indeed prefer protecting a cultural or national identity over quick economic gains. A non-insignificant portion of the world looks at America and and instead of thinking, "Wow, this is what we need to be", thinks, "This is what I don't want to become."

We do the same thing with ympd. I much prefer it over a proprietary solution.
I don't think this requires a grand conspiracy to still make sense.

If you're an Uber employee that's been around for a while, you have significant value tied up in Uber stock. The senior management has long indicated little interest in going public, so in theory you have a lot of employees that are being prevented from becoming millionaires by their employer.

Worse, that stock is now decreasing in value (impossible to assess of course, but...) - might it not be better to leak all the things you've seen in the last few years and hurry the departure of the senior staff at Uber? Then you'll get a new set of executives who will be much more open to going public and making you rich. Maybe not as rich as you might have been before all this started, but it's better than terminal decline.
Isn't it ironic that the article had not a single picture of said picture models? (You can't count the rough chalkboard sketches as 3D model, imo.) The actual linked paper does, of course.
If you have any experience in user experience design you will understand that was not designed to be obvious.

What you say "twice immediately above the headline" you appear to mean:

- in a quite small font size relative to the headline

- horizontally speaking separate from the article itself (which given its fat headline is what draws the attention)

Also: Who the ____ looks at HTML titles in the source code? This is what I see in Chrome: "Irene Clannell: I was forc..."
...And anyone with a brain will realize that the fastest way for the hanging to proceed, is to give Uber plenty of space, time, and rope.
I guess it ends up depending on how failure is defined for a given context. It didn't fail in the sense that the area still holds back water. It did fail in the sense that they believed it to be unsafe to continue using it.
Sure. I thought you were implying more than that. When you called it a bug I thought you were implying that the use of one over another would alter the output of a program. My bad.
You forgot:

+ web applications almost always have a shitty, slow, ad-infested, dumbed-down interface with bare-bones features

+ you're at the mercy of whatever company owns and runs the servers that the application is served from, if they decide to end the service or change it in a way you don't like tough luck for you

+ your privacy and control over your own data are usually forfeited

+ your data is usually trapped on the servers or difficult to extract and use independently of the web service itself

> People with bad experiences are usually the loudest. I don't think Razer would continue to be in business if problems were commonplace

Sometimes that's true, but I don't think that's a fair assessment of the issues being presented here. These aren't some one-off bad units, Razer sells a couple products with fundamental design flaws that effect 100% of units shipped.

It's like telling Ford Pinto owners "Ford wouldn't be in business if their cars exploded"
That's more or less where I am, actually; not that this is a conspiracy, but something simpler, more subtle and less organized.

I'm positing that the very real and very awful problems at Uber (again, to reiterate; those are the main issue here, I'm picking at side-issues...) have incidentally created an environment where some parties have powerful incentives to go in on Uber themselves.

Self control can be practiced. Do not blame her for waring a tank top. It's better to try to grow as a person and not remove everything that challenges your personality from your surroundings.

Also she has freedom too. A tank top is not out of the ordinary.

Definitely not defending Uber here - but does anyone else notice that the people who are complaining are usually the people who don't come from traditional computer science backgrounds? Susan has a Physics degree, and this individual has a psychology degree with a bootcamp past. My experience with bootcamps graduates aren't that great, so maybe there's a chance the managers aren't happy with their performance, hence the behavior.
The other comments here are absolutely correct -- I was referring to OS9 vs OSX, on a 10-20 year time frame. OSX ushered in new waves of adoption that outshines previous numbers by an order of magnitude.

Given that Mac has gone from well under half a percent market share to over 7% today, I'd say "resurgence" is an under-characterization, relative to what I was talking about. ;) OS9 never had the market share that OSX has, so it's less coming back, and more dominating like it never did before.
I agree, the macro scoping is just a small part of the rewrite but it is a problem (especially ergonomically) that rust should have got right the first time around.

Right now macros don't quite feel like they are part of the core language, but instead a hack or plugin slapped haphazardly on top of the compiler.
> but on having content that their subscribers want

This is where we disagree. I don't even know what content Amazon or HBO or Hulu has at this point. Netflix has already made me a lifelong customer with their product and user-experience in the past 10 years or so that it'll take an earth-shaking difference in content for me to switch (or add) a second monthly bill for content. Netflix is part of social fabric (at least in the US). All of this was won by relentless focus on an excellent product and user experience... and perhaps only a middling content catalog.
Yeah good point, Rosa Parks also made billions from her civil disobedience.

> Process long-pending petitions, which we have currently been unable to process due to the high volume of incoming petitions and the significant surge in premium processing requests over the past few years

You'd think the $1,225 paid for every premium processing request would allow them to hire more people to tackle the backlog, but I guess not, maybe they just reroute that money elsewhere :P
No, you're quite right. FU money in 18 year is what will happen if nothing else changes in my life - and it's a better outcome than the unplanned alternative, which is chained to a job and broke in 18 years. But there are lots of other alternatives. I hope to get married and have a family, and my partner will probably contribute as much as I do or more to our shared savings. We might come up with some new goals together. But whenever I meet that person, I hope to bring more than debt to the relationship.
It's a useful list. You wouldn't need to hire for each of those cases, though. Just be aware of them.

Assertion: medallion regulations are currently onerous and against the financial interests of cities and citizens.
Uber's public and explicit proposal to change the medallion system: " "

Your statement applies to literally every company that has lobbyists. You need way more than that to present evidence for your claim.

Again, civil disobedience's core mechanism for gaining the support needed to enact the change it publicly and explicitly advocates for is to accept the consequences of breaking the unjust laws.
Using the Closure Compiler with Vue
When the normal queue is 9 months, it would be immoral not to have any ways to jump to the front. Like the WWDC selling out in seconds, it might be "fair" but it's clearly not the optimal solution.
Anything that does significant work that would otherwise result in an unresponsive UI. For example code on the following page is compiled as you type, without a webworker this would give a very horrible user experience because compilation can take a long time for very large input - https://codemix.github.io/flow-runtime/#/try

There is often the case of why was there so much water in the first place. I dont know much about this dam but here in Sweden the companies running water dams have been known to save up too much water in expectation of better prices. This leads to emergency dumping of water if it rains too much and the downstream areas gets flooded. Not this badly but a few houses gets water in the basement sort of flooding.

Dont underestimate water and human greed.
Cryogenics, IMO.
I think for that to happen, we'd have to have universal health-care, at the minimum, along with lots of other details. Maybe a fair court system, gun control, proper environmental actions, etc..

All these details are negotiable. The question is: what would it actually take to do that?
Short answer, race conditions.

Here is a longer answer. Node currently uses cooperative multi-tasking. Each function call owns the CPU until it gives up the CPU by returning. Therefore all operations are implicitly atomic. Which makes them very easy to reason about.

As soon as you move to multithreading, NOTHING is atomic unless you lock it. You can even have problems with something as simple as:

globalCounter = globalCounter + 1;

(If one thread is suspended between reading on the RHS and writing on the LHS, another thread can fetch fetch/write the value, and then that update gets lost when the first thread continues execution.)

There have been many cooperative async programming systems in the past. Every one that has moved to preemptive (which multi-threading is) has uncovered a lot of subtle, hard to spot, and hard to fix bugs because of losing implicit atomic guarantees.

So you go back to the safe solution of locking everything. But now locking/unlocking takes away a bunch of performance, limits parallelism, and creates the possibility for things like deadlocks. And now you might as well not bother with multiple CPUs! (See Python's GIL for a well-known example of this result.)

The challenge therefore is how to add some pre-emptive multitasking while avoiding creating too many unexpected nasty race conditions.
Mexico itself is composed of 31 states. Why are you suggesting that the whole country should join as only one state?
That was fantastic. Hypnotic even.
Lateral hostility is a huge problem for women in tech and it's absolutely taboo to talk publically about. Female patterns of intrasexual aggression are entirely different from male. There is a refusal to acknowledge this and deal with the problem.
I'm not sure, really. I've searched on it a bit and don't see a lot of good sources on explicitly why it doesn't work well, but I see the vast majority of user opinion is the same.

This is a bit anecdotal, and I don't have expertise in the underlying technology, but I read mentions of requiring use of specific driver functionality to get better performance out of an SLI or dual GPU setup, via mechanisms like using a dedicated GPU to render each eye independently from each other instead of attempting to render both images together on a bridged virtual card. Allegedly, it's a bit of extra effort to do this (as they'd need to support both the AMD LiquidVR and Nvidia VRWorks) and would only benefit a minimal audience, so other aspects of the game get prioritized for development effort.

There are a couple of implementations that do. eg, Nvidia Funhouse VR was a showcase app of what implementing their SDK could do and they used it. I think Serious Sam VR used it, but I haven't tried that game..

Maybe you should face and accept the fact that Docker is not going in the direction you need it to, and its future plans are not aligned with your interest.

These are perfectly reasonable reasons for a company to cancel the efforts and avoid the headache.

Can anyone shed more light on what happens in the following scenario:

You get terminated/leave your current job and activate the new 60 day grace period to find a new job. Provided that a H1B transfer to a new employer can take more than 60 days now. Does one need to leave the country forcefully?
The answer is yes. The number one thing that attracts me to a CS major is the fact that I can build stuff that stays around forever. It’s like teaching a really stupid baby to do something. My prof told me on the first day of class that computers are really dumb, but are really good at following instructions. Almost too good, to the point they do everything to the letter. If you can talk to the computer in it’s language, and make it do what you want it to do, then you’re golden.
"Painting this trend as anything but dangerous to the individuals most at risk of exploitation -- travelers crossing our borders and everyone they're connected to -- is so flagrantly irresponsible it's inevitable that we're going to learn a painful lesson the hard way."

Reads like FUD. Guns fit this "can be dangerous and we'll learn, eventually." narrative as well. These are the costs of doing business in the US. You put up with them because they aren't good or bad, but reliant on the inherent good of the people to stay firmly in the good column. I believe in that.

Many money laundering techniques use a commodity in the process, that doesn't make it not money laundering.

Just because using a tumbler itself is not against the law, if you use it to hide the source of income, it is still money laundering.

Sure, I said reasonably described as poorer. I don't think it's reasonable to describe a household in the top decile as poorer. They are less wealthy. Saying they are poorer carries the vague implication that the parties involved are poor, it's a poor word choice.

Consumer ARM-based platforms in the market right now are even more locked down and spy-hook-infected than any x86 laptop. The baseband CPU on most phones is a far more capable device than the microcontrollers used for this on big core machines, and they routinely have access to all of DRAM without the possibility of interception by the application core.

"Because no one has manufactured a high performance RISC-V implementation yet" isn't answer enough for you? All that exists for purchase at the moment are microcontrollers aimed at the ARM Cortex-M market niche.

There's nothing about the ISA that says you couldn't make a deeply pipelined, six-way issue implementation with three levels of cache running at 4 GHz. But that fact doesn't make such a machine appear from nothing either.
Some people think they're invincible and end up dying at 22. Others are scared of cancer and end up dying at 22.

Some people think they're invincible and end up dying at 92. Others are scared of cancer and end up dying at 92.

This absolutely obvious observation highlights the choice (if possible) you make in how you deal with your future maybe/maybe-not existing. You deal with it how you think you ought to deal with it. Did a parent or friend get cancer? Were they positive and hopeful about it? Maybe you take from them and try to be like them. Maybe they became depressed and just passed on quietly and you don't want to go out like that. Both can be a motivation to act a certain way.

There's no cosmic sense of justice for being proud about being in physically peak condition and you later get smacked down later with terrible news. So I don't think you should feel guilty for feeling invincible -- just don't be an asshole. :)
Actually if you wanted a statically typed compiled functional language of Haskell while keeping the declarative logic paradigm of Prolog, then the Mercury programming language was made exactly for you!
In California, sometimes they save up too much water, but it's because rain patterns are hugely variable. They don't know if the next big rainstorm will be next year or next month. So sometimes they get it wrong, but better to have too much water than too little.
