"...It does require a fairly dystopian strain of doublethink for a company to celebrate how hard and how constantly its employees must work to make a living, given that these companies are themselves setting the terms..."

"setting the terms" is a bit over-the-top here. If I want to go from here to the airport, and you have a car, and I offer you twenty bucks, is that okay? Does it somehow become bad if we meet online in a chat room? How about if a thousand people in this city make this trade on a chat room today? So somebody sets up an online app. At that point do the people setting up the app "set the terms"? Does it happen when they have standards for who can use the app?

In that last statement, where the app creators start setting standards for who can participate, we run into problems -- mainly because if you're the gatekeeper, you can charge rent on both parties seeking the deal. Other than that, there's nothing amiss or terrible going on here.

Western literature has this childish and somewhat verklempt tradition of taking something that's new and making it into an emotional outburst. Thoreau goes out into the woods and laments the arrival of trains, the stresses of the city, and the war against Mexico. Dickens with his cutting criticism of Victorian England.

When done well, it's a thing of beauty. Most of the time, however, authors get a little too tied-up in belly-button-gazing and confuse "things that I can become emotional about and rant" with "things that are important and transcend time" We all take the shortcut of "if it's important to me, it must be important"

I am a bit concerned about Uber, Lyft, and the gig economy. On one hand, I am concerned that companies are exerting so much control over the marketplace that they're not innovating as much as they are creating monopolies. On the other hand, however, I am concerned that because this destroys the concept of "a job" for so many people, and the relationship to their employer and country -- they are going to push hard for limiting all sorts of free trade under the rubric of "something must be done!"

In this case, quite literally, the writer begins her essay with an example of how people might feel that something must be done for the children.

My first wife worked a 9-5 W-2 job during her labor with our second child. I didn't tell her to do it, we didn't need the money. She said she'd rather be doing something than hanging out at home or the hospital. I guess I could tell the story of our second child in much the same way as this author told the story of the Lyft driver in labor -- how some folks "might" look at it as exploitation. But I'm not 17 any more, and I don't tend to view individual choices as being some kind of massive battle between forces that I must take sides on. It was her choice and she made it. For me to come along later and use it as an example for any kind of political bullshit is whack. Rant all you want about whatever topic you'd like, but never take agency away from folks simply because you think you might get a little extra mileage out of your essay.
Reminds me of the Future Crew demo that used similar techniques to emulate "thousands" of colors on a 256 color display. Very unimpressive in YouTube videos. Amazing on a CRT.
The American economy celebrates working yourself to death, has for a long time, and probably will for a long time.

Thankfully I'm not American and I'm not working in the US, so I don't care.
Yet all of these companies weave a wonderful narrative about changing the world, empowering people, giving them freedom and independence. Clearly the business models are based on exploitation of the downtrodden and uneducated. Due to clever PR many actually believe this is cool.

Emacs puts two spaces after a period when reflowing paragraphs. So I've been going with that default for years as the path of least resistance. Since it makes monospaced text slightly more readable and most rendered text output (TeX, Sphinx, Markdown etc.) ignore the additional space and omit it from their output, it doesn't have any significant detraction to me as an author, so I'll continue to live in the two space camp.

I'm not convinced that Protestant traditions are to blame.

The Nordic countries have had an extreme Protestant majority ever since the Reformation. In 1950s Finland, 95% of the population was a member of the national Lutheran church! That's practically everyone.

At the same time, these 95% Protestant societies were heavily unionized, built up strong social safety nets, and offered long vacations, public health care and other worker-friendly policies.

So it seems too simple to blame the dysfunctionalities of the American work environment on reformed Christian ethics -- at least, the Nordic example shows that a different, more employee-friendly interpretation of the same ethic is possible.

Many of the most loyal Soviet apparatchniks recognized that they got their positions due to them being freed up by the various purges and such. Piketty claims that the lowering inequality of the early 20th century that Kuznets claimed was the natural consequence of capitalism was contingent - contingent upon the orgy of destruction of the two great wars.

Kuznets claimed that there were cycles in capital allocation of a certain type, in between some other's determination of characteristic scale, the business cycle, the Kondratiev wave. This is probably not the case, and it's just all a jumbling 1/f wave. So it might be 1 month till your statement proves not to be the case, or 1 millenium.

AFAIK protestant work ethics are rooted in Calvinism, which heavily influenced many sects in the U.S., but not or to a lesser degree the northern european countries.
58% of Americans would prefer a federally funded healthcare system[0], akin to healthcare in Canada.

We only feel alone because both parties are bought and owned by multi-nationals, and don't give a shit about what most people want. First Past the Post ensures a 3rd party will cause carnage if it ever did rise, splitting the vote and not electing the candidate most voters would prefer.

Look at Wolf PAC in Connecticut closing 26 points of a 36 point gap by beating the streets with 500 volunteers[1], or Bernie in West Virginia going to town hall after town hall and talking to people about the very real issues that affect their lives.

We can convert the "unwinnable" "red" states if we only dare put in the effort to beat the streets and call people, have one on one interaction and talk about issues that matter. Jobs, healthcare, workers rights, when you connect to people, even if you disagree with a person about "divisive" issues, they can often feel you are out there fighting for a better future for them and their family.

So get out there, go join Wolf PAC, Our Revolution/Woke, go to a Womens Day protest, a BLM protest and fight for a better future. If we take action, we can create change!

That's interesting; sounds like a very similar issue to this one (with Link Prefetching). That said, Edgar is from OneDrive, whereas you're talking about Office365. My guess is that the departments are "just far apart/different enough," so to speak, even though the issue does sound the same.

I really liked to hear that "We will definitely ensure that more Linux testing is done!"; hopefully this is a collective mindset (and I really do hope that, non-skeptically). Maybe if you're persistent now you might get somewhere - although it could take a while; the L1 techs on the forums or wherever are probably not completely tuned into these recent developments.

You could also try being unorthodox, such as for example politely poking random people on GitHub/microsoft (fish emails out of local repo clones :P) - that might find you someone who can figure out a good next hop in the direction of the right department, eg someone might be able to pass your email on to some developer directly. That's always really cool.
I don't really see the 'gig economy' as an alternative to regular jobs, which is always implicitly or explicitly implied by these articles. If you need a job, go find a job. If you are flexible, have some extra time, could use some extra money, enjoy these gig tasks or whatever, find a gig task.

Obviously there aren't enough jobs to go around, this is not caused by the gig economy. Some regular jobs don't pay well enough, this is also not caused by the gig economy.

Looks like that protestant work ethic/capitalism/etc is working pretty well for us.
In my experience this is already being practiced. Maybe it's different in machine learning, but in type theory simpler explanations are well worth publishing and are published all the time even in high impact venues.

As far as I can tell, progress towards eliminating "research debt" takes two forms: on the one hand there is a place for good exposition, typically in the form of textbooks, and on the other hand concepts get better understood over time and people come up with simpler explanations. In both cases the results can already be published...

Is the situation in machine learning really so bad that nobody is going to publish simpler explanations of known results?
I am not an expert in this, but I would say they are domain-specific. Time series databases I hear about are Prometheus[0] and InfluxDB's offerings[1], both meant specifically for monitoring something over time, hence the name.

You badly need a multi party system. Your current system is too polarized. There's no way to represent nuances. What if I like guns but I want universal healthcare? What if I want a smaller government but I also want great environmental policies?

The US system was ok in the 18th century but now it's a relic. Some things don't age well.

Basically makes it cheaper to build. You have a natural frequency there to use, and you don't have to come up with all this additional hardware to smooth out the existing frequency and come up with a new one.

I think there was a flip-side to this ... though NTSC had faster refresh, PAL had a higher resolution (more lines). I'm not sure, but I think this may have been a tradeoff.
I didn't see any mention of striding. For convnets, you have to do a very unwieldy data unroll that either copies your data by (nxn) where n is the width of your kernel, or you have to manually stride, which can cause all sorts of problems with memory bank collisions, paging problems, etc.
In general, editing large files in Emacs is super-fast.

What's NOT super-fast is editing files with super-long lines (it doesn't even have to be a "big" file). For whatever technical reason, that can grind Emacs to a halt.

I'd love to see that bug fixed myself.

You can thank Steve Jobs for that.

When digital music downloads started record companies demanded DRM. They agreed to a model with iTunes of $0.99 per song. They chafed against this model and wanted pricing tiers. Jobs was willing to give them this but the price was to go DRM free.

Jobs could get away with this for two reasons. First, he was Steve Jobs. Second, the record industry had unwittingly created a virtual music download monopoly in iTunes.

I personally use Spotify because streaming is incredibly convenient and there isn't much you can buy but can't stream. I use Netflix and Ahbo Now for the same reason.

I'd never "buy" DRMed content so music would be fine. Video not so much. I personally don't have as much of an issue with DRM on streaming content.

For some Australian context, being in Melbourne, a place full of coffee lovers (and something we jokingly say our city is better at than Sydney) I can't say I see a market for nice freeze dried coffee.

I'd almost go so far as saying it's become a very established cultural past time to go out and buy a fresh coffee from a local cafe - even when there may be Nespresso on offer in the office for free. I don't see how this product would make it here - the taste of the coffee is simply one (very important) part of the coffee experience.

Where I do see a market however is outdoor activity stores; camping, caravanning, fishing, boating etc. Sell them in large boxes so we can take them away for trips.

I know it's not a "monthly" transaction then, but I fail to see how that model will work here. Perhaps some of our other states such as Queensland, NT or WA where it's a bit harder to consistently find a good coffee somewhere nearby.

Yes. I believe the term was a "raster split". There was a limitation to how many colours you could use for your sprites, and using this technique you could effectively double-it. As long as your characters were on different horizontal portions of the screen. The bitmap brothers (Creatures, Mayhem in Monster Land) were notorious for this and other sweet tricks. Remember how there used to be a border? They figured out how to get sprites in there. Amazing towards the end of its life all the ways developers found to squeeze out those extra tricks from the ageing hardware.
I've also been using DownThemAll for a very long time, it does an excellent job and is one of the main reasons I still have Firefox installed at all.

I suppose you also only drink "real" water, sourced from your own well, and use "real" electricity, produced by you?

There's no such thing as "real" tools; there are only different models of risk. If you're building a system that needs speech recognition, what you should care about is the risk that the next recognition won't be correctly interpreted, and the odds of that are probably greater for a local installation of PocketSphinx than for a Google service, even including the possibility of it "going away".

How many people have actually had the opportunity to live a decade or more of their adult lives in different countries? A very small minority.

The only thing I can think of is using a technology that would be difficult or costly to hire for. Of course this would be morally dubious if it doesn't align with the goals of the business but if it does produce some material benefit it could be a win-win. At any rate, I think you would be treading a fine line and anything beyond this could potentially amount to sabotaging the business and you definitely don't want that.
It's not at all about how hard you work. It's about working smart, i.e. working on the right things.
Aristotle's contemporaries who claimed "nature has made nobody a slave" also held similar, if not the same, views on leisure. Of course, you could argue all Athenians really took others into slavery by virtue of war, or their unquestioned military superiority of the time. The question is, is hypocrisy actually contradictory to Aristotle's views?

I think not.
No, we're not. Read the statement again. If you fuck with the headers, you get a totally different and much higher performance result _on linux_.

The charitable hypothesis someone else raised is that there's a bug in how onedrive handles unknown user agents. Neither you nor I have any idea how much effort that will take to fix. You'd hope not a lot but you should never make assumptions about another man's stack. But if it is low effort to fix, Microsoft could get a small land-slide of partial compatibility with one change, which is good PR even if they don't officially support the platforms. It's definitely worth asking nicely rather than giving up and moping about it.

Out of curiosity, which field are you working in precisely?

In my experience (in type theory / programming languages), the main problem is that a lot of papers are just badly written. Good papers really do use precise language to be easier to digest for other people in the same field.

Alright, you're young.

No reasonable person is going to buy that the following quote was in the context of formal grammar's.

> Todays dynamically typed languages are already too ambiguous for most people to write correct software without tests

This is the quote you responded to initially, by the way. If you read that as grammatical ambiguity, you read it wrong, and this entire misunderstanding is really a testament to your reading comprehension.

But whatever, it's not my problem, it's yours, you'll fix it or you won't.
The title comparison is entirely meaningless. They arbitrarily chose a 1 year period. If they chose 1 month, they wouldn't be eating as much. If they chose 100 years, plenty of other animals would do the same. For any carnivore, you can make the same claim by choosing a suitable time period.
