Without ethics of war you'd have no war crimes, everything would be okay the moment a war starts - not really a good idea.

Sure, in a perfect world there wouldn't be any war, but that won't happen as long as there are humans.
Somebody signed off on spending $50M. If they didn't have buy-in from someone who reports to SecInt, that's another monumental screw-up.

I have built and deployed systems that lots of users used for their jobs, which were quite a bit more involved than a simple reporting CRUD, and which handled far more than a few hundred transactions a year.
Your welcome! The engineering team got some chuckles out of me deploying WebDAV but it works! I originally wanted to use Dropbox to sync a shared folder, but their Linux client doesn't deploy well in a Docker container. The first attempt at a WebDAV server was nginx, but it had bugs in its WebDAV implementation, so we reached out for good 'ol Apache.

The whole thing feels so retro, but it works pretty well and makes it just that much more fun of a solution.
I know DF is a hobby for Toady, and he's not interested in contributors to the core game because he likes doing everything himself, which is fine. But I'd like to see a situation like Minecraft (also closed-source, but even obfuscated Java is easy to reverse-engineer) where the creator(s) work on the core game and modders can add stuff if they like, without official support.

That's sort of already happening with DF, but modding anything more substantial than data and font files is a huge bitch, because the code is fully compiled.

In your opinion. Obviously they find it a good value for their resources.

Study history for interesting human actions. Some strive to improve the human condition, most go through life with no wake, and some, are evil and proceed to actively inhibit the human condition.
Paxos's complexity is often overstated. I made a simple implementation of Paxos for a key-value store as a proof of concept to demonstrate how you can simplify Paxos by removing leader election, multi-master management, and log garbage collection.

Here's my blog post on the issue: http://hack.systems/2017/03/13/pocdb/

The entire implementation is 1100 lines of code including comments.
I loved A Link to the Past, but I switched to PC gaming after the SNES/Genesis era, so I didn't really play another Zelda game until Twilight Princess (until much later on an emulator).

Just wanted to highlight that the Indian Parliament recently passed a law requiring 26 weeks (6 months) of paid maternity leave for all companies with more than 10 employees [1].

Though, obviously, good on Ikea to extend it to both the parents, instead of just the mother.

Yeah, the NYT article doesn't address the argument regarding asyndeton, which is the omission of a conjunction at the end of a list. See the Volokh Conspiracy article for a discussion of this.

Wallstreet has rules. They're just not enforced. People would be shocked if they knew, for instance, how many hedge funds simply operate on a model of "black edge" insider trading.
Yes, but how do you handle the case where your mother is not Ayn Rand and you want to thank three individuals?
Yeah, typically opens in June and then closes at the first healthy snowfall, which is probably September.
Raytracing isn't the "radically different approach" people are talking about here.
The first comma is more-or-less required. It either means, "my mother, who is ayn rand", or it is a serial comma to indicate three people, the speaker's mother, ayn rand and god.

There is no construction where there's no comma between 'mother' and 'ayn' AFAIK, it's just either appositive or serial.

One could reconstruct the sentence: I would like to thank my mother (who is ayn rand), and god. I would like to thank god and my mother, ayn rand. The problem isn't that other, less-ambiguous constructions exist, it is that the construction as written is ambiguous but grammatically correct. It's an operator overloading issue.

You have a valid point. Do you have pointers to learning Design for a programmer? I know about book 'Deisgn for hackers' and there are many resources on Photoshop/Sketch etc. but I haven't found nifty little projects like you have in programming where you design, say a toy compiler. Also Photoshop/Sketch are paid and/or platform specific. Any useful pointers would help.
Look like you are correct.

I had thought the `::: section` syntax was a recommended approach (if not yet part of the formal spec).

In the past, I have used various home grown solutions to this, but recently I have been using markdown-it and the accompanying
plying markdown-it-container. On the CommonMark forums, I see that the ::: syntax is a leading contender, but that CommonMark itself will not address extensions to basic markdown until after the spec reaches 1.0

It isn't, I haven't said it is. The point is, there are disadvantages you are writing about, that aren't really disadvantages of the protocol itself, but disadvantages of the common implementations.

You can definitely to parse and edit from custom widgets. Take a look at the documentation here:

They should have really switched to a 3 option system since most of the ratings end as such.

In order to get a linearizable read in Spanner, you do need to have a heartbeat from the leader of the Paxos tablet for the data you are reading in order to know that all data has been replicated up to the time at which you are taking your read. This is not free, but can be cheaper than active communication. (referred to as t_safe in the paper)
It's also not always necessarily attacker vs defender. You can have wars between two sides that both want to go to war.

Also, there was a whole period of war (the so-called Cabinet Wars, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabinettskriege) which was for the most part just princes with smaller armies in a very constrained manner fighting each other. So it's not always the same there.
Those practices are largely illegal. There's been a number of successful cases prosecuting wage theft.
Or edge cases like me will get that little boost to just give up on Netflix. I already use them less than other streaming services, and I could always just turn it on and off again.

It's a good thing netflix created original programming, because I would have long ago been gone from netflix if they didn't have /something/ nobody else had. Their nonoriginal selection has gone to total shit. Even hulu is competitive with netflix's selection excluding originals
Interesting point. Would polarised reviews make you less or more likely to watch a film (or download an app or whatever)? In other words, two items with the same average, but different distributions.
Ultimately it doesn't matter how you tip unless you frequent the restaurant. Your service will be a result of the people who looked you and came in before.

So white, wealthy looking people will generally get better service by virtue of being white and wealthy looking. Doesn't matter if they skimp on the tip.

It's very racist and classist in practice.

As an uneducated guess, the wing mounts (aluminum?) and surrounding fuselage have stretched way beyond tolerance and are no longer capable of supporting nominal load. The metal has fatigued and must be replaced, which would require new wings and nearby fuselage -- at no small cost.
Hahaha, I doubt anyone would be shocked at all, to be honest.
It's really very similar. This is a case where the Chromium developers want to do something so they are going to do it, standards be dammed...
I'm glad the truckers got their money, but I don't really see one interpretation as more or less accurate than the other.

I've volunteered at Meals on Wheels before. What I'm usually told to do is unload shipments of donated food products (crate full of mangos, crate full of granola bars, crate full of apples, etc.) and pack them into shopping bags (e.g. 1 mango into each bag, one granola bar into each bag, two apples into each bag). The shopping bags are then be given out (distribution) or picked up by other volunteers who drive them to homes (shipping).

So I think both "packing for shipping" and "packing for distribution" do seem like reasonably separate things and the law may have been wanting to list both so that someone packing for distribution wasn't excluded like could have happened if the law just said "packing for shipping".

But if you take the law's meaning as targeting "packing for shipping" and "packing for distribution" then it no longer includes people who are just doing distribution and not packing (truckers).

We know the law meant the last two things as separate anyway, though, because there's no "or" before "packing", so the end there was two separate items and not one last item. So "distribution" was meant to be a separate item and not part of "packing for". Which is the opposite argument that didn't hold up in court.
I'm not sure how you're surviving on just a swing sword and dodge strategy. If the enemy has a spear, you can't just run up to them. If they have thick armor you have to parry their attacks, maybe shoot a weak point. I just fought a giant monster who started covering his weak spot after I shot it one time.

> Windows 10 feels unfinished

That's true but another way to look at it is that it's in a constant state of improvement. There's 30 years of legacy that they're taking the time to refactor correctly rather than just skin or eliminate entirely.

> I'm talking about things like configuring networking in Windows 10

That is one of the very rough areas right now. They have the basic functionality in there but then shifted focus to other areas. Actually getting to the legacy control panel App to make changes to things like DHCP and DNS settings is ass backwards at the moment.

> not being able to find a way to convince the new UI widget to tell you the capacity of batteries any more.

That sounds like a hardware specific issue. If I hover over my battery indicator I get both a percentage and time estimate. If I click on the indicator I get the same information and the option to change power mode.

> It feels buggy because if I left File Explorer windows open, eventually all of explorer would stop responding until I killed it and restarted it. If I used a machine for a couple of days without restart, DWM would lock up and suddenly I'd get to try to remember the commands to kill dwm.exe and type them flawlessly without being able to see what I'm doing, or restart the machine.

Your explorer issue sounds like it could either be a hardware issue with a storage device or a problem with network discovery. Since DWM uses GPU compositing now, I'm going to say that you might have a hardware issue. I have 3 PCs running 24/7 that I either sit at or RDP into daily and I've never experienced anything like what you're describing.

> Sleep and hibernate, both of which work reliably under 7 on my laptop, have about a 50/50 shot of waking up or coming up to a black screen - which, itself, has a 50/50 chance of either being a login prompt which is just not displaying and if I enter my password and press enter, it will bring up the suspended environment, or just a permanently frozen unresponsive black screen.

I ran into this on my laptop when I upgraded it from Win8.1 to Win10 and left the vendor's Power Management AND Bluetooth drivers installed. After removing all vendor supplied drivers and allowing Windows Update to install new ones, it has behaved perfectly.

> Oh, and Start Menu searching being completely broken - attempting to type, say, Firefox would prompt me to search the web for Firefox as the top result, or I could open All Programs and there's Mozilla Firefox.

That sounds an awful lot like Windows 7. For starters there's no "All Programs" in Windows 10. I tried with Cortona on and off and could not reproduce that result. Every time I typed "Firefox" into the search bar or just with the Start Menu opened, the Best Match was the "Mozilla Firefox" shortcut. Now Windows 8.x/2012.x had a slow search feature and a nasty habit of just searching the web if you hit enter after typing your query but all of that is gone in Windows 10.
I wasn't only talking about code completion either - when I make any syntax/type error I get a red squiggly after about a second and hovering shows the compiler error (which often has hints for solving it). Same goes for compiler warnings (e.g. green squigglies for dead code). Feels quite close to IntelliJ already (I use PyCharm...).
I used to be cultured, at home, at work, and in public.

This rings home with me soo much. I've interacted with a few startups designing robots to replace human labor. Was scary to see that automation is here its just too expensive compared to human labor. But technology generally decreases in cost over time while human labor gets gradually more expensive. So its only a matter of time that all manual labor is replaced by robots.
That is only you, I can't use that information. Like you might be taking into consideration "Special effects were 3 on their own". Whereas my Mum would never even consider that as a thing which influences the rating.

As a slaveholder, you're forced to provide all the needs of your slaves. This prevents you from being able to externalize costs to others (e.g., the cost of schooling), and from being able to capitalize on "economies" of scale. There is also a large hidden cost in that maintaining a plantation slave society required virtually the entire free male class to participate in martial civil defense against slave uprisings.
That sounds like a pretty good point. But when I try saying "distributing of" out loud, it sounds wrong, as a native speaker. I think converting that to "distribution of" is just one of those natural quirks that isn't a written rule but is very common anyway.
Yeah, what they were doing was flat out illegal.

The only time you are allowed to work unpaid overtime is if your job is considered an 'exempt' position. There are a number of rules that have to be met for a job to be considered expempt, including a high enough salary, autonomy over your work, and a few other rules as well.

From the article:

> Of course, the Just War Ethic suffers from a problem: The normative ideal in this case is the absence of war, yet the reality of war precludes that ideal. Therefore, any applied ethics of war are by definition morally flawed. The question for the ethicist then is this: Is it more ethical to make continued (and often ignored) normative pronouncements against the existence of war, or to engage with the temporal reality of war with ethics that seek to limit the cases in which war is undertaken, to moderate its effects, and to guide it toward the normative goal, with the understanding that this goal is not immediately or fully achievable? Obviously, advocates of the Just War Ethic, myself included, come to the latter conclusion.
Everything you've said makes sense, but I don't see it being contradictory to what I said.

If you decide you want a more nuanced understanding of what a given reviewer likes, I think it's better to evaluate different dimensions (Was it funny? Was it violent? etc) than shades of grey* of the same one.

How do patients authorize a new care provider to access their data? How do patients prevent the government from accessing their private health data? (Obviously the latter is a problem even for distributed systems, but a lot easier if the government already has the data on servers they control!)
We have pretty big plans for the markdown editing component. It currently has a system of "editorComponents" that lets you define block level components that can be edited inside markdown bodies.

There's still some work ahead to make this really smooth, but the idea is to give simple ways to work with shortcodes, etc, without having to be aware of the syntax.
Sufficiently targeted ads are indistinguishable from honest search results: that is, if Google gives me the perfect result then I don't care what money changes hands behind the scenes (although yes, I do still care what's being done with my personal data to achieve that).
Does Netflix offer star histogram charts the way Amazon does? I don't recall seeing them. If not, there's no difference to a user between a 6.8/10 generated by thumbs and 6.8/10 generated by stars. They are already synthesized numbers, not just an average across all users or anything.
A much more succinct way of making the point. Thank you.
But this was why I posed it as a question, everyone says this is somehow 'more interesting' but is that because it is actually qualitatively more interesting or are more interesting things coming out of it simply due to the fact that it is more popular quantitatively with researchers? If it is qualitatively more interesting, what about it makes it so?

I likened it to functional programming because finitism makes things interesting via its purity and restriction in an analogous way.

This incorrect and short-sighted. The private conversations that you have are with someone else, who might have not opted into Google mining their conversation.

In that sense your conversation partners' only option to "opt-out" of using gmail is to stop conversing with you, which I find to be a perverse choice.
The longstanding question posed by Vampire Weekend has finally been answered: Oakhurst Dairy cares.
My thoughts are only in capacities that support the large incumbent ISP behemoths. I would imagine establishing standards and removing city / county ordinances restricting companies (outside of the big players) from installing services would be a bigger step. It's ridiculous to think that some cities want to provide better services but the lobbying arms of the big guys simply shut it down. We have plenty of people pushing to improve broadband, it's this incentive the rich, restrict the poor (relative to operating budgets) scenario that's only going to be exasperated by these types of counter productive rules.
What they should have done is write "packing for distribution or distribution of". They forgot they were writing a law, not a book, and that clarity is more important than aesthetics. As it is, the sentence contains one more ambiguity, which is whether there's a distinction between shipment and distribution.

I was fired from a job once after I refused to work any time off of the books.

They expected us to show up 10-15 minutes before the start of our shift to open and if we were on the later shift, they expected us to work 10-15 minutes after the end of the shift to close.

I highly recommend Sheets too for tabular data. The series of /vs pages at (like https://www.polleverywhere.com/vs/turning-technologies) are all generated from one Google Spreadsheet. You can see the spreadsheet data itself if you click "Download Spreadsheet" and see the tables if you click on any of the subpages.

I implemented the "scraping" via a Rake task. When marketing updates a point of comparison, an engineer runs the task which simply downloads a CSV file that is plugged into these pages and a nicely formatted XLXS file that's made available for download for people who want to see all the data in one place.

There's "big data". I call this "tiny data".
