It's no different, except that people who claim to be open and tolerant never really are. They are just tolerant of one or the other outgroup to the degree that that outgroup is socially acceptable.

I think the reason this happens is that people have no principles reason for tolerating other people. It just "feels right" for certain groups and wrong for others. So who gets tolerated trails changes in social acceptability.

This article [1] says that SIDS is believed to be some kind of glitch in the body's regulation systems, which only occurs at a specific time in development (1-6 months), and is triggered by environmental factors like temperature, sleeping on the stomach, or tobacco smoke.

Can we get a clue to SIDS mechanism by considering why evolution would let SIDS happen? Maybe something different in the modern vs. evolutionary environment? Perhaps it's a deleterious side effect of some beneficial mutation? Or maybe since infant mortality was so much higher for most of human's evolutionary history, the "signal" of SIDS was lost in the "noise" of high infant mortality due to non-SIDS causes, so there wasn't strong enough selection pressure to overcome whatever entropy barrier's needed to generate and universalize a mutation that would protect against SIDS?

Yes. Punch cards were 80 columns. Later, Teletypes for the most part were also (I think some could do 132 columns). Then terminals like the VT100 carried this forward (again, some could do more, but 80 was still the default and they added the 24-line convention). The IBM PC kept to this standard also. And in 2017, the "default" terminal window is still 80x24.

It depends on the situation. I work with a professor who came from industry. He once worked on a project where they did massive data collection inside the military. Over $1 million was spent over 2 weeks collecting data. A couple months after, some researcher called and said "Hey, I heard about the data you collected. Would you mind passing it on to me?". Of course the answer was no, not until we publish damn near everything we can out of it.

Another consideration is the amount of data. Sometimes you're talking about dozens or hundreds of gigabytes of data. Start multiplying this by the scale of universities and you come up with a large expense to store massive amounts of data most of which will be downloaded no more than a couple times. On top of that, the data must be cleaned and made anonymous, and if they make a mistake in the process, there could be large liability issues.

Very anecdotal evidence: I work on a fairly large mixed Swift & Objc project and I was expecting a greater decrease in compile times.

At first it seemed 'snappier' but starting to notice not much of an improvement.

It definitely still feels like making small changes like changing a function name triggers a lot of extra work.

I see another problem: The OP thought he deleted his account, but actually deactivated it. I've deleted my account before, even in the last few years and it requires a specific link from the FAQ, otherwise you only get a deactivation link, it takes about 2 weeks, if you login after the 2 weeks, you will not get an account back. If years passed and you can still somehow get a response from FB about your account, you didn't delete your account, you deactivated it.

Edit:

It seems this is common enough to be in the FAQ as well:

What value is there in counting "one tree, two trees" given you have small trees, large trees, new trees, dead trees, and trees of different species? You can't substitute any given "two trees" with any other "two trees", much less practically substitute any individual person with another. I can easily imagine an alien culture that highly internalizes individuality and thus finds no need to apply an arbitrary value (count) to any group.

Ignoring whether or not it's valid to claim that as a "threat of violence", this article makes it sound like the prosecution's case is built upon the use of unprofessional language, as opposed to any threat of violence.

Facebook Wants to Help You Be a Better Citizen
Even if they don't care, there is a responsibility by the researchers to the participants to protect their identity. Your participation in a study may have no big effect right now, but down the line it could. If your project has federal funding and involves research on people, there are ethical requirements and trainings required before starting the study.

What if you completed a simple survey for a study and identified yourself as a member of a group (Christian, Jewish, Mexican, African American, etc.) and 5 years down the line, there was a big rounding up of your group. Suddenly your participation 5 years ago is leading to terrible life changes.

Please get to know participant protections more. They are very important for the integrity of the data used in academia. The NIH has a strict policies to ensure the safety of participants.

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) reviews studies for risks participants could face as a result of participating. Every person who has access to the de-anonymized data must complete an NIH training course.

Depending on your institution, the process varies in seriousness. Having worked on 2 submissions and helped on ~3 other IRB approved studies, it can be tedious. My institution takes 6+ weeks from submission to approval, which can really delay things. At the same time, it's a vital part of the process to ensure validity.

How would everyone win? Not having deaths to offset birth grows the population even faster. Unless such a thing were more likely to produce people capable of solving humanity's imminent crises, within a decade or two you'd see life getting a lot worse if immortality went mainstream
I find the first of those two examples far more readable than the second; the unnecessary spacing requires scanning from the name across the gulf of spaces to the corresponding value, rather than placing the values near the names.

We (MediaFire) were part of the Amici brief submitted to the Supreme Court regarding the eastern district of Texas. [1]

It is a serious issue. Being a Texas company, we have been sued numerous times primarily because we are in Texas and it allows the other defendant's cases to be tried in the Eastern District of Texas.

The patents are always baseless, but it matters little. In almost all cases, the board of directors wants to settle the case quickly instead of fighting it out, even (in many cases) if the CEO or inside counsel wants to fight. It's cheap(ish) to settle and very expensive and time-consuming to fight; in short, it's a big distraction, one that can be solved with money. Since most of the plaintiffs are shell companies run by lawyers, there is little cost to them even if they loose and no value to the defendant if they win.

The exception to all this being Lee Chang at NewEgg who always fights. That works if you have a CEO and board who is willing to spend the time and money to establish a reputation but that is seemingly rare. Newegg also signed onto this Amici. [2]

This problem has been going on for a long time (8 years for us), and while we keep hoping for some reform, Congress is yet to act in a meaningful way.

On a side note, our former patent defense attorney, who clerked for the patent judge in Marshall, TX, left defense a few years ago and became a plaintiff's attorney. His reasoning? Much more profitable.

Exposed Confidential and Proprietary TaTa Communications Files to Download
There are two main sources of slow compile times in Swift -- the expression type checker has exponential in the presence of large numbers of overloads (which unfortunately includes arithmetic expressions and collection literals). The second is what I think you're hitting which is that incremental builds sometimes rebuild too many files because the dependency tracking is overly conservative.

There was some work on the expression type checker in 3.1 (string interpolation, casts and a limited "domain shrinking" pass to simplify some arithmetic expressions) but the main focus there was centered on the declaration checker, in particular up the generics implementation to fix lots of crashes and limitations.

Both the expression checker and incremental builds should receive more attention going forward though.

In the meantime the usual workarounds might help - splitting up your codebase into multiple Swift modules ("targets" in Xcode), and splitting up complex expressions and adding explicit type annotations.

First, why not allow your predicate to throw? Maybe your program will be better structured that way.

Second, if you pass a predicate that is not declared `throws`, then the compiler treats `drop(while:)` as if it cannot throw either. This is what `rethrows` means: it makes `drop(while:)` covariant (in terms of throws-ness) with `predicate`.
Very true. Perhaps I'll have to switch to 100 characters for personal projects.
I don't get it. AFAIK you can implement all of those things in your abstraction, and then use it like canonical C++. I think you are wrong. Please correct me.

At the time, many were under the impression it would continue as such to prevent the proliferation of middle school/high school students from joining and contaminating the site like MySpace.

Back then, MySpace had some horrible user interface experiences. Users would add javascript plugins and themes to their pages that provided too much individuality. At times, the changes were so drastic you could not tell if a user's page was on myspace without looking at the URL.

To this day, Facebook carries a signature look & feel and will never allow any drastic changes to the UI to accommodate a user's distinct style.
> Actually, the culprit is Rust's decision to statically link its standard library and all its dependencies by default.

No it really isn't, static linking does not imply bloat as commonly perpetuated.

> It's also possible to prune down the statically-linked size by opting out of various conveniences like jemalloc

Try this: opt out of everything except the standard library, create something somewhat trivial and idiomatic in both rust and c, compile and see what you get.

With 'drop' passing a throwing predicate feels a bit esoteric, but consider something like 'map'. Suppose you are mapping over an array of file names and loading each one, which can throw. You would expect the 'map' itself to throw if processing one of the elements throws.

You can write higher order functions that only take total functions as arguments and handle errors with an 'Either' type, which is more general but creates boilerplate.

Also 'rethrows' is a special keyword that means if you pass in a function that does not throw, the overall operation won't throw either. So mapping over an array of integers to increment each one won't require error handling, since the operation itself cannot fail.
