Thank you! It's late where I live, English is not my native language and I was certain I was misreading all the nouns... but I wasn't! Amazing stuff.
Do federal tax collectors/auditors ever use local police to bring people to justice over tax evasion ? The state government could simply not offer any such support, and require the feds to do everything on their own. I wonder if they could create a law that wouldn't allow extradition out of California for said trials unless approved by the governor.
Inheritance is orthogonal to that. I.e. Erlang, an (impure) functional language without inheritance was literally built for that sort of thing.
> because you're really blaming the union by the end, even though there's no proof.

I did no such thing. A `TL;DR` is typically a summation of an article. The primary narrative in the article was the union stifling this businessman. Whether it's true or not doesn't really effect a summary of the content itself.

To openly state a summary without including the primary narrative of the article seems disingenuous to the article you're summarizing, in my opinion.

That's a fair criticism, though I would assume that since the heptapods can see the future, there's some rationale for specifically wanting "Louise" to learn the language first instead of just distributing a copy of "Heptapod for dummies."

Using Kim Malone's radical candor framework http://www.kimmalonescott.com/

The preferred quadrants are:

Radical Candor > Obnoxious Aggression > Ruinous Empathy > Manipulative Insincerity

The "defaults" are men being obnoxiously aggressive and women being in the ruinous empathy quadrant. Mean become radically candid by caring more, and women by challenging directly.

The defaults however give men the advantage with women in a more harmonizing role.

This is because the typical metaphors company act by are aggressive. The most obvious one is war or sports, but even a less aggressive one like trade requires a sort of aggression in haggling.

The defaults favor an affinity for competition and aggression because we primarily live in a world of scarce resources and requires drawing a line in the sand and watching over it with spears. Our 1st world cushy lifestyles are basically subsidized by people in poorer countries being willing to work more for less. (as indirectly as possible to assuage guilt as much as possible) In a purely equal world, China and India become leaders of the world (again) and everyone gets 30K. Is that something people in the U.S. really want?

A person with high empathy might feel guilt and be compelled to enact this situation. What mostly happens though is that these decisions are delegated to more aggressive and competitive people. Assuaging personal guilt while still reaping the benefits of disparity.

If companies start ingesting more empathy, their actions naturally tend to become more harmonizing, creating fairer conditions. But this ONLY is desired if the total wealth is enough for each person. As larger companies act at a global scale, the global wealth isn't enough for this empathy to be acceptable.

Smaller companies which act in a smaller sphere DO benefit from empathy though. They have to be indirectly subsidized by excess wealth from the environment they are embedded in. Knowing your hipster barista's name is only possible if the business of selling high priced artisanal coffee is viable.

As a female engineer, I haven't actually experienced any sexism or gender related issues in any company I've worked in. I've worked in a good number from small startups to large companies. I've always felt really comfortable - but I am a really straightforward person and know how to decline offers after a company interview if the culture fit doesn't feel right.

What do I look for that's related to gender? Usually a college-y or informal atmosphere. If it doesn't feel professional, I'm not too interested. This stems from my experience in HS and college (I went to MIT). Most of my peers were fine but there were some gender-related jokes in informal settings that I don't care to experience in a work environment. That's pretty much it for me, but maybe I've been lucky!
As a young'un myself (u/g senior), I think the more disturbing thing is that I see stuff that's missing (from front-end alone: ES5, ES7, Babel, Selenium, service workers, deferred dependencies, accessibility, Backbone, UI/UX, polyfills, and generally YAGNI/KISS to remind people that there are few things on the web that actually need to be SPAs).

Fortunately I have no desire to do front-end work.

I think there may be a disconnect between the "a lot of people" I'm referring to, and who you may have in mind. I'm referring to people at large who are aware enough of technology to follow who Uber is, and observed their business practices and Kalanick's predilection for libertarianism. You would seem to be referring to a much more select demographic, such as those who would have been in attendance at Startup School.

Premature Optimization Is the Root of All Evil (2014)
I had the opposite experience, I find coding much harder than spending time with kids (I also took off a lot of time for the kids). Also consider that as a stay at home parent, you don't really have a boss, and we have just learned from the interviews that bad bosses are a major reason for quitting jobs. I guess technically your spouse is kind of your boss, but if they fire you the state will still make them pay you, so you can't really lose.

Taking care of kids is strenuous, of course - the constant attention you mentioned, and also the sleep deprivation. But you can still watch a kid while sleep deprived, but you can not code sleep deprived (at least I can't - YMMV).

As I said, (imo) women get to choose who takes care of the kids and who does the job with unpredictable hours to feed the family. Or ultimately in a way both parents get to choose, because they choose who they marry. But many women choose already when they decide on their profession. As a man, you can not really speculate on finding a spouse that is fine with you being the stay at home parent. Nevertheless, such cases exist - they are just rarer, which is exactly what the numbers show.
Thank you for sharing that article. However, I don't see how the algorithm is itself racist.

That is like, if I give you glasses to put on, and through those glasses, you observe racism. That doesn't mean that the glasses made racism appear. And I don't think attaching blinders so that you can't see the racism would be helpful, either.

Word2vec is a lens that observes human output. And people saw things that they didn't want to see.
>Extracting just raw text from the Wikipedia dumps is pretty hellish.

Did you try just asking them? I'm sure someone there can flick a switch and get it all to you. After all, it's just text, and they must have it all set up to serve however they want.

The total size of the English Wikipedia is under 100 GB as uncompressed xml[1] (bearing in mind that xml is pretty verbose).

This should not be prohibitive for a Wikipedia admin to generate and to serve to you at your request. Why not?

It's a community project sponsored by donations.

[1] Eyeballing the trend on this page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia which mentions "As of May 2015, the current version of the English Wikipedia article / template / redirect text was about 51 GB uncompressed in XML format", so I estimate based on the shape of the graph that it is less than 100 GB today.

Cool! This project started out as a way to learn Gr library routines in HolyC, and kind of Frankensteined its way into a game engine. In the coming weeks I'll be doing lots of refactoring to bring the code in line with proper TOS guidelines naming conventions.

Yes politeness goes a long way in such situations.
I'm far from an expert on file systems or semantic versioning, but the one thing I've heard is that APFS changes the way filenames are written to and read from disk. HFS+ (the old file system Apple OSes used) would automatically normalize file names so you couldn't have two files with names that look the same to a user but are represented with different byte sequences. APFS does not do this on the file-system level. (I heard thirdhand that some APIs might still do the normalization, but I don't have any links or details on that and don't want to spread bad info.)

So, they put a game I used to love and hate on TempleOS. Guess I finally got a reason to visit the Temple. Although that comment about the HolyC going into the shell, compiled, and running was pretty cool.
They had a great early deal with Starz to license their entire library at a fraction of what it would be today, and once that expired their back catalog never was the same.

Honestly, I don't think most people realize just how cheaply politicians can be "influenced" compared to the effect they can have. I mean, $2,500 for a local politician seems cheap to us, but to a corporation making billions a year, $250,000 per year for a congressperson is a similar bargain. In this case, that small $2,500 donation was enough of a foot in the door to (allegedly) create hundreds of thousands or millions of extra dollars per year in revenue; where else can you get that kind of ROI?

One presentation was comparing an 8GB+HDD system to a 4GB+Optane+HDD system, showing off how the low RAM hybrid was much faster at selected tasks (carefully selected tasks, I presume). This is probably the market, another indication is the surprisingly low price.

The price difference between 4 GB and 8 GB of RAM cannot be enough to compensate for the Optane module, but if the Optane combination uses less battery than the bigger RAM and if enough benchmarks and/or magazine performance comparison use cases coincide with tasks where the hybrid shines, then some low end manufacturers might successfully sell the RAM downgrade as an upgrade option.
Saying "the problem is not the unions" is as wide-brush as saying they are the problem; unions have some good causes but the core of their existence is to keep employees employed, sometimes that means important jobs that should exist and sometimes its a cancer that stops a business from profiting or stopping the creation of new ones or the advance of technology (think taxi drivers vs self-driving cars)

It's extremely simple. If you think Curl would be better in another language then port it, release your alternative, and maintain it for a long time.

Even if your language (Rust, Erlang, LISP, Go) is "better", it's still a minimal part of the equation. A maintainer is what makes the tool. It's hard work to decide which PRs to accept (and worse yet, reject), to backport fixes to platforms for which you can't get a reliable contributor, coordinating fundraising/donations, keeping up with evolving standards...

Anyway. Thank you, thank you, thank you Daniel Stenberg. Use whatever damn language you want.

Some cardboard I've been around has not been... odor neutral, and some cardboard/paperboard plants I've been past don't exactly have the best downwind characteristics.

> There's plenty more to the economy, and to economics, and to the crisis than predicting stock prices. Reducing the question to stock prices is avoiding the question, IMO.

You're absolutely correct. The point I was trying to make is that the economic model we use drastically under-predicts "rare" events like the 2008 crash. I wasn't trying to make a statement about the "cause" of the crash, so much as state that the model under-predicts such events.

> Not really. Newtonian physics is inaccurate in ways that are hard to measure at everyday human scale. The 2008 crisis was pretty noticeable, all over the world. I think an apt physics analogy would be something like getting a nuclear explosion out of starting a fire (technically, out of buying a house), something that's been done successfully for millennia without major incident.

All theoretical models are based on arbitrary axioms/assumptions. The degree to which they predict reality successfully is largely predicated by the degree to which the underlying axioms correctly reflect reality. I don't think this is a binary thing. I don't think that the field of economics is "invalidated" because it "failed" to predict the 2008 crash. I might argue that it's "less" correct or reflective of reality than Newtonian mechanics is, but again, I don't think the degree to which our predictive systems represent reality is binary. I don't think that they're either right or wrong, only more or less successful.
Call it a 'professional association', like doctors, lawyers, and engineers.

The real problem is wealth concentration. Unions and professional associations are one way for the working class to push back when the society they live in is failing to do so.

It's the wrong tool, not addressing the root cause, has implementation challenges, and will create problems in the future.

But the ship is sinking right now. Since the 1970s.
The thing that worries me most about all the personal data the government has is not its using it to indict people. It is that it will take information that would be embarrassing to politicians and either use it to blackmail them, or hand it over to the opposition to use in an election (from what I understand, J. Edgar Hoover did that). If that is going on, then you don't really have a democracy any more.
This is all starting to sound extraordinarily conspiratorial.

To re-iterate, I'm still not sure why you think any of this is a reason for software engineers to refrain from discussing and addressing culture problems within software engineering firms.

The compiler doesn't optimize at all right now, but aims for simplicity. There was an article some time back about the best switches to use for most C compilers: compile for size. It often gave some of the best performance IIRC, the rationale being better cache use on chips.
I meant "you're" in the universal sense as a reader.

In my opinion, a tl;dr that glosses over pointing out the unsubstantiated crux of an article's narrative is a major disservice. It's fine to sum up the narrative. It's just as disingenuous to fail to point out the narrative lacks evidentiary support whatsoever.

* For some reason it wasn't evident to me that the left black box was editable and I actually interacted with the right-side wondering why nothing was happening. Perhaps use something that doesn't have an interaction so I don't try to click the button at first glance.

* Found myself scrolling up and an down a lot to read the next few instructions and updating the code. If things were side by side, this would be easier.

* It'd be nice to step backwards for the instructions

* The pre-formatted code in the instructions is a bit small. Might be hard to read for some people

In essence, the value of the tool comes from actually using it.

You might also want to give Overleaf[1] a try if you're interested using LaTeX in a more WYSIWYG style -- we have a rich text mode[2] (currently in beta) that parses the LaTeX and presents it in a way that's more familiar for non-LaTeX users, which makes it particularly handy for collaborations. Of course, you can always edit the underlying LaTeX directly if you prefer :)

I'm one of the founders of Overleaf, so if you have any questions (or if you use it and have any feedback), please let me know -- it's always appreciated, thanks.

Eh, it's worth understanding the scale and scope of the problem. I've been thinking about this a lot, recently.

The human brain has on the order of 1e11 neurons. The galaxy has on the order of 1e11 stars.

Now, would we confidently predict that we could "solve" the galaxy in less than 100 to 500 years, say? And yet we make very, very aggressive estimates of how quickly we might unravel the secrets of the brain.

Biology is just monstrously, monstrously complex!

The hope is that it may actually be easier to build a useful thinking machine than to fully reverse-engineer the brain.

If we can really build a neural lace in the sense that Iain Banks originated the term, then we've probably also solved cancer and the rest of biology. Imagine the fine-grained control you'd need to manufacture a molecular-scale structure in-situ.
It looks like that feature is also part of what the regulators were concerned about the safety of (in terms of how firmly it manages to attach to the building levels).
