Similar issue happens with public bathrooms / venue bathrooms. Many cities / countries have laws saying that should be certain % of accessible bathrooms. Solution? Do not have any! Or have one regular and one accessible for like 1000 people venue. Seen those examples both in North America and Western Europe.
I guess you're right. Bad for humans, maybe good enough to reverse some of the damage humans have done.
> Muslim immigrants commit fewer crimes than natives.

That's a non-sequitur, as this order isn't targeted at "Muslim immigrants". Furthermore, the categories "Muslim immigrants" and "natives" both contain substructure. That means that a simple comparison between the two can be misleading.

Please note I'm merely pointing out a flaw in your argument, and not taking a side on whether the order is a good or bad idea.
My basic gist is that

a) Using dot and comma provokes mistakes, thus I call it "silly".

b) Deviating from the dot as decimal mark in the context of computers is a bad idea™, because it violates a de facto standard in computing and introduces a myriad of regional conflicts without any benefit whatsoever.
I agree that CLI tools having different args on different platforms is certainly not bash's fault, but I think it hurts Bash much more than other languages because, since Bash is such a limited ("awful") programming language, the de-facto way of doing most anything in bash is to call out to these command-line tools for everything.

For instance, above you suggest using "jq" to parse JSON. I totally agree with you that if you actually needed to deal with some JSON data in Bash for some reason, then a tool like "jq" is definitely the way to do it, because it avoids trying to do actual programming in Bash.

In any "more reasonable" scripting language (perl/python/ruby/...), you can very easily open files, parse them, extract data, etc., all within the context of the language, without relying on all these external tools like awk/sed/grep/etc. And you have basic types like arrays and maps at your disposal that often make what you're trying to do a lot easier.

I can't imagine trying to actually write a JSON parser in pure bash. (Well, I can... but uggggh...)

Yes, it appears to be -- the article implies that backups of data from the spam operation were exposed to the public.
generic = 1%

generics = 16%

so it's a good chunk of the people who answered the survey.

2% mention types and 1% type system so it might be possible these come from people dissatisfied with the type system.

Finally, it's not clear whether people who mentioned dependency management where also counted in dependency and management.

All we know is that "generics" was the word the came out the most often.
Yes, this line of reasoning has been discussed in a recent thread:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13768856

The gist of it is: you have to think past the current situation. The U.S. passed the American Disabilities Act because it decided that creating an equal society for the disabled was an important value for America. Overlooking violations that disenfranchise the disabled makes that law meaningless. Every business that has had to install handicap-accessible facilities has had to eat major costs that indisputably hurt their bottom-line. But business owners don't get to say, "Well, having a wheelchair accessible doorway would force me to close my shop, so I can't do it, and having my shop open to serve the non-disabled is better than nothing."

The other thing to consider is that Berkeley's content is not free content. Berkeley is a state university funded by tax dollars. State employees created, curated, edited, and produced that content for the web, all on taxpayer dime. It would have cost more to close-caption them, but that's the law. And when you don't enforce the law, you get institutions like Berkeley deprioritizing what they are federally mandated to do, which is to follow the ADA.
According to the leaked dhs report, immigrants don't tend to get radicalized until they've been in the us for years, or their children do. So screening or vetting wouldn't make a significant difference.
be overly pedantic and claim "method" is the term vs "class method".

That's not me being overly pedantic, that's you misusing standard terminology. The term "class method" has a specific meaning that's quite distinct from "instance method" - the thing you're actually talking about. In fact, if you go to the docs of the very language this post is about:

https://marcobambini.github.io/gravity/classes.html

You'll find verbiage about 'class methods', again, as distinct from 'methods'. I can't think of an OO language or context in which 'class method' to just mean 'instance method' would make any sense.

cue the trumpettes lining up to babble about how it's necessary.

even if you think this policy is necessary, this is still a shitty policy because it doesn't go far enough to satisfy its stated aims in addition to being morally repugnant. you shouldn't support this policy because of how flawed it is.

there are plenty of countries that are incubators of islamic terrorism that aren't on the ban. if the goal is to prevent islamic terrorists from abroad committing terror acts here, that's still entirely possible. osama bin laden wouldn't be caught by this ban or the previous one because he was a saudi. think about that for a minute.

and now the border patrol / tsa will be even more inspired to make life hell for the law abiding people who are coming here or returning here from abroad from countries not mentioned on the ban.

this is killing the usa's tourism industry. this is preventing highly educated people from abroad from coming here to let us make use of their talents. this is an embarrassment.

anyways, i challenge any supporters of this policy to defend it here in public. you won't last long.
I can think of many reasons to bother. In the context of the article being discussed, it can be argued that Google is presenting sites' content without clear attribution. Preventing the need for the user to click-through also limits ad revenue (where applicable). Either would be a perfectly good reason to consider alternatives. It's a massive trade off, of course, given Google's position but I don't think decentralized search is a bad goal.

I think Solomon has hit the nail on the head here, but I'll call it out even more starkly.

Assuming containerd is successful, and that higher-order systems like Kubernetes and Mesos use containerd directly, we will see one of two things in 12-18 months time:
1) There are hundreds of thousands of DOCKER users
2) There are hundreds of thousands of CONTAINERD users

The split is forcing stratification (in a good way) where there previously was none. Users have to identify whether they think "docker" means "a container runtime" or "a full stack".

Of course, the pie is growing, so maybe we get both results. The real problems over the next 12-18 months are MESSAGING and DISENTANGLING. How do you get this message across to people, and can you actually change the words in the common vernacular?

As owners of the word "Docker" Solomon can define it how he likes, but that doesn't mean he can actually stop people from using it to mean something else. That's going to be a process.

c.f. "literally". Even Webster's Dictionary has given up the fight on that.

I'm sorry, you did say US metro, so let's reduce that number to tens of millions.

You're talking about something different now, needs versus wants. People live in cities for many reasons besides strict necessity. Quality of life, cultural events, diversity, ease of transportation, take your pick. Heck, there are plenty of developers who work in Silicon Valley but choose to live in SF. They could live closer to their jobs. Are they daft? Or do they value other things about urban life that make the extra rent and a longer commute worthwhile. Price is not the only consideration for where to live.
ADA became US civil rights law the same year Berners-Lee wrote the first browser. It was signed by the first president Bush.

The reason this is happening in 2017 is that the Americans with Disabilities Act does not allow plaintiffs to collect damages (California state law is different). That means compliance comes solely when an affected individual has the time and financial resources and the will to pursue a long and drawn out case. Note the references to 2015 in the article suggest that UC Berkeley actively opposed compliance during the mediation period before DOJ issued an order.

The DOJ issued specific guidance for web page accessibility in 2003 [1]. That's before Youtube. Before MOOCs. Before online course materials over the internet were a viable option. UC Berkeley had more than a decade to come up with a plan that met the intent of the law.

I own a Japanese arcade machine, and while they are still somewhat common in Japan, and the US, it was not easy to find in Canada.

The nostalgic feeling and experience of playing not only on a CRT, but actual machine from the 1990's can't be replicated on an LCD.

Static on the screen, the hum of the monitor, the flickering of the colors, the look of the glare on the surrounding arcades, the sound of coins dropping down the chute, are the little things I bought my arcade cabinet for.

I dread the day that my monitor fails. As it'll mean the death of this experience for me without traveling to another country.

Sorry, you're right, I misread your post. I think you have a good point here, but to be fair I don't think people weren't thinking in evolutionary terms at all. Not everything in our (or other animals') bodies are actually there for a good reason now. I'll give you one good example: horse toes. I don't remember the exact term now, but horses equine ancestors used to have multiple toes, like us and many other mammals. Now they just have one, with a big fingernail, called a "hoof". But if you look closely at the anatomy of their legs, you'll see some of the vestigial toes still there, serving no useful purpose now. Evolution isn't like engineering design, where we improve a design, see something that's not needed any more (like an automotive engine distributor), and just remove it entirely, and everything related to that, in one clean sweep, even mundane small things like bolt holes, and optimize the design for the new system (being coil-on-plug for this analogy). With evolution, it's slow and gradual. Another example is the recurrent sublaryngeal nerve in humans: this nerve apparently takes a rather bewildering and inefficient route, for seemingly no good reason, but when looked at from an evolutionary perspective, it makes sense why it takes that route. (The nerve itself is not vestigial and serves an important purpose, but the route it takes is very sub-optimal and could be called "vestigial" in a way.)

[2] https://unzipyourgenes.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/unintelligen...

So I think it's entirely reasonable, in the absence of contradictory evidence, to use evolutionary thinking to make an argument that an anatomical structure seems to serve no purpose any more, just like those extra horse toes. Unfortunately, they were obviously wrong about the appendix, and I do think it's a little dangerous because the assumption of vestigiality rests upon the lack of evidence for the part having a modern use, but this can cause people to stop looking for that modern use, and then we wind up with what happened to the appendix, where it took a really long time to learn the truth because we assumed we already knew.
The number of emails in the database isn't even the interesting part.

Same here, I've stopped doing tech interviews, they are a waste of time. Hopefully my freelancing network will continue to grow and I can avoid them forever.
But could all practicing lawyers pass the bar right now in their respective state? I'd guess no. The problem is not the questions necessarily, it's that you have to study a bit and do the same goddamn interview questions at multiple companies, sometimes with very different interviewers. Some are helpful, some make me nervous, some are asking the hardest possible questions without warmup easy questions, etc.

Whiteboard or live coding is not the problem. Bad or untrained interviewers are, along with the fact we can't do one interview that proves to multiple companies what level we are at.

"Language in Thought and Action" by S. I. Hayakawa.
Well, from my outside perspective there are certainly "Lack of generics is a feature" and "Generics are a feature that has not yet arrived" camps.

Again from an outside perspective, it also seems that these camps talk about their viewpoints to outsiders more than to each other.

Personally, I always thought the reality is probably closer to "Not adding generics prematurely is a design feature, and it hasn't moved forward yet since the core team doesn't need it enough, and no proposal developed critical mass of community support to consider it appropriately vetted."
Interestingly, the general perception I've had for a while now is that Google's search results have been getting slowly, gradually worse over the years. It seems like it works harder now to funnel you into some predefined concept of what it thinks you're looking for, rather than returning the data and letting you filter it yourself.

That's great for very common searches, but makes it much harder to find anything that Google doesn't expect (or want) you to look for.

Granted, I've got no data to back that up. I'm probably in the minority of users here, but I pretty sure I'm not the only one.

please don't use java.lang.Integer unless you really have to.
I know it's just an example but it gives the wrong ideas of what good code is.

Each operation in baz() consists of Integer.intValue() and Integer.valueOf(int), like

Integer inc = Integer.valueOf(2);
bar = Integer.valueOf(bar.intValue() + inc.intValue())
...

besides dealing with unneeded indirection values outside [-128 : 127] actually create an object that has to be allocated+GC'd each assignment.
Such nuances give Java the bad rap. 'int' maps straight to the hardware, java.lang.Integer - not so much.
