Stockfish has the highest ELO of all engines... but how can an open-source engine be best? How don't the other engines learn from it and become at least as good, if not better?
Facebook is doing great. People are just using it differently (which may make you enjoy it less, of course).

I can't find the article now, but I recently read that Facebook users post their own stories far less often than they used to. Much of Facebook.com is now the swapping and discussion of news stories.

Some of the more social, personal activity you're missing has probably moved to Instagram.
There are quite a few who do it for just the money.
And there's nothing wrong with that, either.
I can hardly imagine being productive on a single monitor anymore. After having three 19" monitors for a couple very productive years, I tried switching to two 27" monitors. It added up to more space, to be sure, but I spent way too much time managing windows.

And then I took a job with a startup and bought a laptop since they wanted me to show up in the office on occasion, and working with one monitor was like driving with one eye open. I started to get better at it, but there was so much extra effort involved in context switching. Even as it became muscle memory, it didn't come close to beating a simple glance to the left or right.

They offered a separate monitor, but I chose to go back to working from home and switched to three 22" monitors, which has been perfect for years (though I want at least one more now for testing non-linux apps).

Focus has nothing to do with monitor layout. I have three monitors, but only one thing is happening at any given time.

When I'm coding, email, slack, etc, are all off. It's a terminal on my left with git, and logs, a fullscreen IDE in the middle, and documentation and test application on the right.

When I'm shopping, it's reviews in the middle, shopping cart on the left, and search on the right.

When I'm catching up on slack / email, they're both open on separate screens with an extra for research (Github, etc).

When I'm editing photos, its the collection on the left, editor in the middle, research (editor docs, etc) on the right.

Focus is all about strictly doing one thing at a time. Multiple monitors is about switching contexts without losing focus. The only problem I have now is that I don't blink often enough.

Also, to the point about "Same Workflow When Remote", I just choose not to work while traveling any more. I'm not as productive, nor do I want to learn to be more productive while on the road. That used to be a dream for me; And then I really tried it; And I really sucked at it. I'd rather have my sit/stand desk, comfortable chair, and tea pot - all optimized for focus - than try to drive uncomfortably with one eye open.

I wonder what your point is.
Kate Wagner started "Mcmansion Hell" last year, and it flat exploded. I think that subject matter is the biggest reason blogs take off, and many good subjects are already well covered.
Do you think the web Peaked with Perl-based CGI-scripts?

In some very important ways, yes. Specifically, it was still within the contraints of what HTTP and HTML were designed for: the transfer and rendering of marked up documents. Obviously all technology is x steps forward, y steps back, and you aim for some workable linear combination of x and y, but there have definitely been several regressions since the days of Perl-based CGI scripts, and I personally haven't found them worth the advances.
No. However, Facebook no longer has a monopoly on social media which is why they are deathly afraid of competitors like Snapchat.

Pricing in the US is not cost-based. That's not how it works.

If you price a drug at $100, you can't raise it to $110 to pay for marketing.

You set the price at $100, then decide what to do with the profit. If marketing costs $10, but increases your sales by 15%, then you have a positive ROI.
But I still can't stream Goonies.
Doesn't really make sense to purchase one of these for an SSD. Give the prices of SSDs, just buy another SSD and do RAID instead. This tech woulda been great years ago if it worked on crappy computers with HDDs
From what I understand, the idea is you have some string S and an input T, and running a grammar G on ST will produce an output. Sometimes they won't halt. Just like a Turing machine.

In this analogy G is the 'universal Turing machine'

As the other user mentioned, those are compiled in the same way java is compiled, but not in the same way that C is compiled. They still need an intermediate VM to run.

I still want to go back to having a secondary monitor, though.
I very much like SPA's. It is mostly React that I have a problem with.

I don't trust their License Agreement when it states they can revoke your License for any reason. Basically, if I get on the wrong side of Facebook, they can pull my License for React without a warning.

Unless they have amended their license since the last time I read it. In which case, I would like to see the updated version. Until then, I will continue to use InfernoJS.
I use only the laptop monitor. Originally I did this because I did a lot of live support, and having to undock was a slight impediment to going to somebody's desk to work on an issue with them. The communication was more important. Once I got used to using just the monitor, I was happy having the same setup everywhere. Every now and then a manager tries to give me a giant monitor, but I just pass it off to the next engineer that might want one.

There was another benefit, too. Even though I get that it's convenient to have docs/browser/editor up at once, I can really only LOOK at one thing at a time, and I found that I was getting lazy. If my brain can only hold things that I am actively looking at, then I'm not thinking very deeply about them.
Now granted, I'm old. As I age I notice things like tiny short-cuts that make me a little weaker over time. In your 20s or 30s, you have almost infinite capacity. You may not notice the top line dropping a little bit.
In my experience, external monitors made me a little weaker. Keeping my brain sharp allows me to keep up much better.
Warning danger info success each carry some specific meaning. I would keep the colors standard (yellow red blue green) but match the saturation to the of the pallette.

Primary and secondary are usually for backgrounds of major elements, detail elements to draw attention to. The other 3 colors should be boring but pleasant. For subtle variation without drawing attention to the elements
Sounds like we're back to the old paradigm where angel rounds were followed by A rounds after the idea was proven and traction was substantiated.

> Humans are machines and the algorithms that they employ for attention and emotion are surprisngly uniform and very unintuitive for autists like me and you.

What do you (or anyone else reading this) think of evolutionary psychology in which context such aspects of human behavior can be somewhat consistently explained?
Frustratingly, when you disable this option, new fullscreen windows will always be appended to the END of the list. If you have 3 spaces and click the green pill on a Safari window on space #1, it will become space #4, after all the others, instead of space #2.

Reported to Apple, "works as intended". One more reason to never use macOS' built-in fullscreen mode.
That's not really how tax loss harvesting works. You can have a portfolio that's up a total of $50k and _still_ have $50k in losses.
My father recently passed, and a month or so afterwards we got a bill from the nursing home pharmacy who, apparently, couldn't figure out how to bill his insurance.

The price for 30 atorvastatin, whose out-of-pocket cost is about $20, was $160. The same with other cheap generic heart medications.

Complaining about high drug costs is a red herring. Drug prices are a small fraction of healthcare costs, and even if new drugs were made cheap, healthcare providers would still overcharge for them.
My dev organization had, at one point, a fairly respectable gender ratio (relative to other orgs, which isn't saying much). Over time, the women in our dev org have had a much higher attrition rate, because they've moved on to other opportunities. I've never heard a complaint from any of them that women were treated differently here.

I have a suspicion that women who get into tech tend to be more self-assured than the average individual (by virtue of the fact that they're willing to fight what looks like an uphill battle to get into the field). And that those people are also more likely to look around for a better opportunity and not be afraid to grab it. Which would make them inherently difficult to retain.

(I also have a feeling that talking about women in tech in any kind of generality is a good way to get pitchforked and set on fire, so I hope I haven't said anything out of line.)
I'd happily read that.

No, it offsets my other capital gains that year. $3k per year after that can be applied to normal income. Or it can all be applied to future capital gains.
If you're not counting your past experiences as "training", then by your own definition, most people could do your job "without training".

The point is that if you were trained in your domain, you can't hold yourself up as an example of "an imposter who had to learn it all themselves" because some of it was given to you as "absolute" knowledge. That you weren't "trained" in some 'basic tasks' (and some people are - imagine the boy scouts, preparatory schools or the military) doesn't mean you had to "imposter" your way into learning everything else - you simply learned those "by osmosis". (Otherwise, we'd have thousands of different ways of accomplishing each of those basic tasks in use.)

Social interactions are informed by past interactions, in a sort of "telephone game" through time and society (which is why trends evolve and change). And we aren't trained how to do taxes because there's an entire industry devoted to profiting off them which lobbies to keep it feeling complex and against just having the IRS send you a form to sign or dispute.
I thought it was strange that they started with "walking" because the aliens don't walk the same way humans do!

Numbers are probably not a good starting point, because they're surprisingly abstract. For example, there's no such thing as 1. You can have one of something, but you can't just have one. Number is a quality rather than a thing. In order to establish communication, you need to start with something where it is completely unambiguous what you're both referring to. You can do this with concrete things, not so much with qualities.

Numbers above one are even harder. There's no such thing as 2. You have a thing, and you have another thing. In order to get to two, you first have to establish the idea of the one thing and the other thing being similar. Then you have to find a way of making it clear you wish to refer to the collection of things, which is an abstract thing. Then, you need to somehow figure out how to make it clear you wish to refer to this abstract quality of quantity about this abstract thing, rather than some other abstract quality about it such as its permanence or utility or orientation.

Compared to this, talking about objects and actions seems a lot easier.d

Let me reframe the question to be my thoughts on how to solve the "problem".

Q: How can managers help retain technical engineers

A: Treat them fair and pay them what they are worth regardless of how many of which chromosomes they have. When people treat them unfairly or discriminate, stand up for them and show them that you care. Don't penalize them for their genetic ability to make more humans if they so choose to.

Other than the obvious of more money, most employees will feel loyalty towards those are loyal to them.

I didn't read TFA as I think the question is a bit wrong even if it is meant to be well received.
When I was pretty young (kindergarten) I would read "Our Universe" over and over (https://www.amazon.com/National-Geographic-Picture-Atlas-Uni... ). Most of what was there I barely understood, but I understood enough to keep coming back.

A few years later (2nd or 3rd grade) I got into a mild argument with my music teacher when she off-handedly mentioned there was not life on other planets in our solar system. I was insistent that there was and I had seen pictures. To her credit, she asked me to bring her that evidence, and once I did she explained what part of the text said - these were hypotheticals. _If_ alien life could live in Jupiter, what might it look like.

I remember a vague sense of disappointment at the time, but overall I think I'm glad I was fooled in that way at such a formative age. Forming big thoughts from what I read and later learning what part of what I read meant that changed my conclusions is a lesson that I think turned out well for me.

In contrast, I think Santa is a terrible, terrible thing - adults lying to kids about something that is already fun and wonderful to the kids, and then using it as a threat ("better be good or else!"), only to eventually have the kids learn it was all a lie...I fail to see much positive coming from that. (and yet, people are aghast at the very prospect of kids finding out early - it would "ruin" the holidays)

I'm not really sure where the material discussed in the article fall - it read to me like these was material that WASN'T intended to trick children, but rather targeted at adults without making that clear, but I might be misunderstanding.
Many reasons.

- You have vending machines which only take the old coins
- You haven't sat down with your retail employees to make certain they can identify the security features of the new coins
- You don't have sorting machines which can handle the new coins so that you can have an accurate inventory of your coinage
- You don't have a policy in place for removing the old coins from circulation

Those are just off the top of my head.

When are semicolons to be avoided in JS? I assume daft styleguides pushed by people desperate to show how smart they are don't count.

I agree with your broader point, of course; certainly making them optional hasn't helped matters.
I've been hosting a blog for around 10 years that has some pretty decent success (in spite of my really infrequent posting). Yes, it is getting harder though I'm not really trying.

The game has changed, and as so many others have posted the heyday of blogs is over. Only certain types of people really care about long form stuff anymore. Those people are hard to reach. So you have to define what success is for you.

Is "success" for you:

1. A big audience? This will be a ton of work and is largely outside of your control. You'll have to be different from everyone else out there and get attention. Not impossible but it's a long uphill road.

2. A dedicated, loyal audience? This is something you can control. If you decide you want a smaller, but happy and loyal following, then start creating quality content specific to a niche group. When people find your site and find this treasure trove of articles they'll bookmark you.

3. Lots of money? If your goal is to make large profits you've got the biggest climb yet. Of course it's not impossible to build a blog in 2017 and make a lot of profit from it, but I personally wouldn't waste my time on such an endeavor.

Anecdotal: at one time I made around $1000 a month from my blog, just from ads. Algorithms changed, the world changed, and in 2012 or so I was super steady at 1k per month. By 2015 I cut it off because I was making around $20 per month with the same ad networks, and... MORE traffic. Things change and you have to be ready for that.

Finally here's something I've been telling bloggers for years. Spend the time on your content instead of spamming. The hours you spent posting links on social media, posting to Reddit, HN,lobste.rs etc is all time you could have spent creating more content.

"Build it and they will come" is still valid in blogging. If you keep creating and pumping out quality content it will be hard to ignore it for long. But it's harder than ever.
Maybe women in tech are less common than men in tech not because of some fundamental unfairness, but because fewer women want to be in tech.

A bit of advice to any of you youngsters blowing it off as "maybe women just don't want to be in tech": I worked with plenty of women in this field in the 80s. Not so many now. And of those women in the field currently, they're a different breed than those I worked with 30 years ago. (To put it gently, they strike me as women more suited to put up with mens' bullshit.)

So, no, I don't buy the "maybe women don't want to do tech" excuse, unless you're willing to argue that all the women got together at their annual conference and announced that they're not doing tech anymore. I propose a simplistic explanation: women don't want to be in tech for the same reason I'm tiring of it, and this is having to put up with a constant stream of alpha male man-children. We, as an industry, used to be professionals. Now it's just a big frat party. (The issues are much deeper, IMO, and I admit to vastly oversimplifying.)
The Four Agreements is one of my favorite books, so I was glad to see it already listed, but yeah it does have some nonsense mixed into it as you have pointed out. With that said, the fundamentals are very sound, and for some reason the way the book talks about it makes it all click nicely in my mind even though the fundamental advice is all "common sense".

I really think it helps that the three-finger swipe is interactive, i.e. you can swipe at your own speed and even decide to go back in the midst of the gesture. I often peek at the adjacent spaces only to come back to my current space - it feels like looking left and right without moving my eyes. Using non-interactive keyboard shortcuts is much more disorienting IMHO.

What's the difference between episodes and chapters? I mean to say, I think they're already what you want, just with different names. The seasons are the books, and the episodes are the chapters.

The only thing I can think of that's really different is opening/closing credits, but given that I pretty much never binge-watch anything (and apparently most of my friends on Facebook don't either), those serve a useful purpose for me, in that they help set the mood and make it so I don't have to wait a few weeks to figure out who played that street vendor that showed up one time in chapter^Wepisode 3.
At this point I'm still thankful Netflix and Hulu even have an Apple TV app - Amazon still hasn't made one for viewing video.
It's worth to work through all the "arithmoquinification" and "G's uncle" business to understand how a formula can be physically constructed that asserts its own unprovability. Hofstadter manages to make the material quite accessible.
The old (pre ~2005) New Zealand 50cent coin was a match for 5 franc coin in Switzerland (~5USD). I knew postgrads that would always stock up to use in vending machines, after finding that out I've always been curious to know how much research a mint does to prevent this from being possible.

OK, so, in concrete terms, how do you propose people treat their employees equally regardless of sex? Empirically that is not currently what happens, and probably not because someone twirling his mustache said "let's deliberately discriminate against women."

For me, it's the reverse. Netflix is really good at tailoring the feed to your bandwidth. I hate watching Hulu when I'm on the road because crappy motel wifi will destroy Hulu, and even Amazon is... weak. Netflix is like "Oh hey, you're not home anymore, are you? Let's just keep lowering the quality until there's no choppiness. Sorry everything's blurred, but that's the best I can do in Waynesboro."
My apologies... I violated my own pet peeve and spoke as if I knew when I hadn't taken the time to actually research for the truth... the truth being, as you all have said, that Amazon does commingle inventories. It's a sad day for me as it's just another mark against Amazon and it further erodes my trust in them as a consumer friendly company.

A bit passive-aggressive for a friendly gesture isn't it?
The FCC has no authority over media and retail companies - they DO have authority over ISPs in some aspects. They have passed consumer protection regulations relating to the transmission and storage of data before.

The practices you describe (with Amazon etc) are none of the FCC's business. Anti-competitive behavior and privacy violations by non-telecoms businesses falls under the authority of the Federal Trade Commission.

It means something, because the idea is to protect the vulnerable from predatory practices, not to prevent the technically proficient from what they see as easily avoided practices.
Yet those optimization passes have been essential for keeping C alive. Optimizing C well depends on exploiting undefined behavior. And if not for optimizing compilers, I think C would have been replaced a long time ago.

For example, when everything can legally alias everything else (as in the case of "classic" C), it's hard for a compiler to prove anything about the contents of memory. This prevents a lot of seemingly-obvious optimizations. The problem with C is that you need to violate many programmers' assumptions about how the language operates in order to make it fast.

It's not a coincidence that a lot of C/C++ compiler developers have ended up moving on to other languages.
