I like the film a lot too. I'm not certain whether the impossible-to-film gore of the book would've changed the message of the film had they somehow been able to include it (for those who haven't read it, the book has passages which are far nastier I think than any film that's ever been made), but I think the film still has a strong message, and is undeniably beautifully shot and well-acted.

Anyway, I have to return some videotapes.

It sucks that you didn't get a local PHP env working easily, but I think you're an outlier there. The ease to get up and running with PHP is widely credited as a big factor in its success.

I used a thing called 'easyphp' (executable that just gave you a wamp stack and just told you which dir to stick your php files in).

The Dubai people have always been great to me. They are intrusive but they are polite. They don't make you feel like a criminal or that you have done anything wrong. Being spot-checked in Dubai isn't anything as embarrassing as being surrounded by TSA agents angry because you forgot a thumbdrive in your coat pocket. In Dubai I feel like a customer purchasing a product. At US airports I feel like a peon asking permission to borrow bossman's car.
I've been running the beta for a few weeks now. The thing that stands out the most? They changed the filesystem, and I haven't noticed a thing - the upgrade time wasn't even significantly longer. If anything, the beta has been more stable than 10.2 releases.

The fact they've pulled it off so seamlessly is pretty impressive. Heck, the majority of users won't have a clue that their filesystem has changed, and that's the way it should be - users shouldn't be required to know about technical implementation.

Except all of this fallout is because Uber HR determined employee x with a harassment issue is valuable enough to making money that the potential to lose employees y and z is an acceptable risk.

Ethics do not logically fall into place magically because the ultimate goal is making money. It's easy to say "ignore those factors in favor of making money" but the reality of the world isn't that simple. Uber didn't tolerate a culture that got in the way of making money, and now they're here.

"A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall?

If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."

Guess you always have good internet. If you truly can't identify with the parent comment or SPAs acting up, you might want to explore your own applications on slower internet.

I'd say most SPAs are clearly built with the latency of localhost in mind during development. Even Slack.

Even Google Translate is terrible on a suboptimal connection. It just seems to hang and rarely recovers when the internet comes back.

At least with server-rendered apps, when you click submit, you either timeout or hit a DNS resolution error, and the back button will restore your <textarea> from page cache.

It's never ambiguous. But SPAs usually require some more thought, like more deliberate "waiting..." UI between the time the user does something and the response comes back from the server. I know I have to.
It just falls apart when you try to define mass nouns in terms of number. Different languages handle mass and count nouns different, just as Japanese where nouns have no inflection for number and you use conventionalized counter words to indicate quantity.

Haruki Murakami is the only living author who, if he writes a book, I will read it. The only other author for me in this category is C.S. Lewis (except that he's not still living in this world).

Also, I would have answered the question with "Hardboiled Wonderland and The End of the World", except that, by the time I read it, I was already so much on the same page in my thinking, that it didn't have a huge impact on me... but if I hadn't already been thinking as I do, I'm sure it would have been immensely impactful.
In most European countries drug prices are negotiated at scale, because of public institution negotiating directly with pharmaceutical companies (most expensive drugs are the ones in international shortage, e.g. hepatitis C drugs, etc.). So what happens in the US is that pharmaceutical companies apply the "divide an conquer" rule, having a de facto monopoly.
My question would be: why do you want a following? Personally, I have practically zero views on my blog, but that's OK.

Here's the money quote:

> If Mr Gurley and the rest of the board cannot find an experienced candidate willing to work with Mr Kalanick, calls for him to step down may grow louder. But that is his decision to take. Uber is a prominent example of founders’ power at fast-growing tech firms. On its own, Uber’s board does not have the clout to change the CEO, because of his super-voting shares and those of his co-founder, Garrett Camp: together they control a majority of the voting stock.

Well, that's a pretty bad corporate governance problem. The CEO's behavior, and the culture he created at the company, have badly damaged the company's image and driven away senior executives and probably a lot of engineers too -- and yet the board can't get rid of him.

I would certainly think twice about investing in a company whose board is powerless to do anything about such a terrible self-inflicted wound.
You could totally do this.

We tend to deal numbers by turning them into symbol sequences and then applying grammatical rules to them --- we're good at grammar, we have hardware acceleration for it. Digital computers work the same way: the quantity is measured, turned into a number, turned into a symbol sequence, then we manipulate those symbols before turning them back into a number.

But analogue computers work by taking a measurement, representing it directly as a potential, and then performing various analogue operations on that potential to yield another potential. At no point during the operation is the potential converted to a number. (Disclaimer: our analogue computers do use numbers for I/O, because they measure the result potential and express it in ways we can understand, but that's just a UI issue.)

So I can totally imagine an alien technology that manipulated quantities using mathematical operations without having any way to express those quantities themselves other than in relation to other quantities. They could use symbol streams to represent the relationships --- if so, they'd probably get on quite well with algebra --- but the idea of representing the potentials themselves as a power series would be completely alien to them.
In case people are wondering what makes DBSD so interesting, DragonflyBSD is:

- focused only on x64 architecture

- has an extremely small but exceptionally talented team of developers (e.g. Matt Dillon from DICE and Amiga fame)

- has it's own unique filesystem called Hammer (and work is being down on Hammer2 which is a complete rewrite)

- Network performance is particularly good with Dragonfly and even better than FreeBSD which is known as being the golf standard for network performance [1]

[1] https://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~sephe/perf_cmp.pdf

Edit: formatting

Edit2: it should also be noted in the release notes, it refers to detailed NVME disk performance testing the Dragonfly team performed. These results are largely agnostic of what OS you run. Really interesting to see the Samsung NVME device come out on top and Intel in last. This is a good read even if you don't run Dragonfly.

Apples and oranges. Frankly, on the short-haul flights of US airlines I don't want the type of service offered internationals leaving Dubai. I don't want in-flight hot towels or fancy entertainment systems when I am only in the chair for a couple hours. I want polite airport staff at well-designed and run airports. I want flights that leave on time and predictable security lines so that I need not arrive hours early. US airports are horrible but that is out of the airline's hands.

Actually, that's not true.

Generic "Engineering" is just as bad as CS. In fact, CS is slowly approaching the Engineering level (from the top).

What's interesting is that the graph that's often bandied about left off engineering, to show CS as the sole outlier.

Maybe I'm decrying the old dying medium, but my experience matches many sibling comments.

I started blogging over 15 years ago (when you didn't unanimously call them blogs yet) and it was mostly a personal log. When I started studying I had a more focused topic but still personal anecdotes (well, sometimes even both in the same post, naturally) and it shifted more and more towards bigger, more technical articles the more I transitioned into "proper" work experience. Then at some point I decided to not post small oneliners anymore, only medium-length pieces. But as much as I have stopped regularly posting daily (or even weekly or monthly), at least 2/3 of all the blogs I've read have stopped as well.

Links (sometimes with comment, often without) are shared via Twitter and Facebook (and for a shrinking minority, G+), commenting and replying is a lot easier there. This could all be my little filter bubble though (or my interests have shifted that much, but I don't really think so) - so I think I might be following more gaming blogs (that have frequent posts, averaging 1 per day) than my old mix of tech/PLT/Linux/personal aquaintances (those especially have stopped blogging).

On the contrary. Its completely acceptable for PDP to say whatever he hell he wants. The problem is that he wants to be paid by Disney while doing it.

The USA has freedom of speech. PDP is legally allowed to say whatever he wants. Unfortunately, PDP's revenue stream is (or perhaps... was...) Disney. And Walt Disney did not like PDP's Jew jokes.

There's no censorship here. This is PDP losing a financial sponsor / financial backer. Welcome to the real world PDP, your sponsors actually care about what you say.

Wall Street Journal can do whatever. People have made fun of PDP all the time in the past years. That's not what's hurting him right now. Its the loss of Disney as a sponsor.
The media giveth and the media taketh away.

Uber is a glorified cab dispatch organization, desperately fishing around to try to convert some of the insane valuation they enjoy into something more valuable. For years the media has made Uber their darling -- the oft restated misnomer about a "sharing economy" -- giving it what would likely calculate to billions in free press. Retelling the tales about the grand new world for drivers, with endless riches. The new standards of excellence for passengers.

So now the bad parts are the narrative. To dredge up another trite saying, live by the sword die by the sword.

No. The whole reason pewdiepie and other personalities on youtube have such high viewership is because mainstream media hasn't had anyone funny for decades.

Red programming language 0.6.2: LibRed and Macros
You sidestepped the workplace death question. Why are we so worried about forcing women into STEM no matter what, but we don't care about forcing them into the jobs that cause all those workplace deaths? As a corollary, why do people without STEM jobs constantly complain about other people not having STEM jobs instead of leading by example? After all, as we're constantly told, we need every able-bodied STEM grad we can get our hands on.

Lip service doesn't matter; change matters.

If you look at nursing stats, men leave at a much higher rate than women. Sexual harassment, liability when caring for women and children, getting saddled with the harder jobs (because he's a man), pay sucks, and a general every day attitude from everyone about being a male nurse (with the added bonus that generally speaking, old nurses really hate new nurses and the more different you are, the worse it is). Generally speaking, you'll tend to see male nurses gravitate toward specialties or travel nursing where most of these issues are less prevalent.

What about teachers? The split used to slightly favor men over women once upon a time. If there were ever a profession where male/female diversity were important, it would be in the education system. Instead, we see the huge male pedophile scare of the 70-80s followed by a large drop in the number of male teachers in general and in younger grades in particular. Most male elementary school teachers are there for PE. Factor that out and it's extremely easy for your child to go through almost a decade of schooling without meeting a male teacher.

To tie that particular idea back to software engineering, are the majority of female elementary teachers self-loathing, backward individuals who believe in the inherent inferiority of women? If not, then why do they work so hard to keep their female students out of certain parts of STEM?
Sure. NSA has plenty of resources to process and store all of them.

> Each of those professions have considerable effort to increase the numbers of men working in them.

And yet the number never budges, and we don't hear the president and the media blasting said industries over their shameful employment ratios day after day.

Instead it's just "hmm yes, that's curious. Well we're working on the problem. Carry on..."

Whereas in tech if the ratio isn't 50/50 there's hell to pay. In comparison there isn't a damn thing being done to address the imbalance in the industries I've listed. Yet women in tech, that's a national crisis.
How has it been coordinated? Most of these things, like worker harassment which was reported on twice, once perpetrated by a childish CEO who is still in charge, is self inflicted. Travis didn't have to join Trump's Tech Advisory Committee either, that was a choice he made.

I used Facebook briefly years ago as part of a job requirement, but the account sat stagnant and unused for a very long time. Recently I thought I would login just to see if the account was still there, and found that FB had deactivated my account.

The only path to reactivate the account is to send them my government issued ID.

In my case it doesn't matter because I don't want to reactivate the account anyways, but if things were different I would be absolutely horrified at the thought of sending them my driver's license or passport photo.
Don't know what the guy is doing, but at my previous workplace one of the most frustrating things was that due to hot desking and a policy of everyone works with laptops, they didn't believe that analysts required multiple monitors.

At home, if I've got the repl, a terminal, only one code file open, and some documentation/stack overflow, I'm already at 4 windows.

At work, have rstudio, a database, a word and excel file with some documentation and suddenly one monitor feels minuscule.

You took away my office walls on which I printed out and hung up cheat sheets and reference materials, then you took away my cubicle walls on which I did the same, please don't put out articles that will make them take away my monitors!
Because in a free market, companies cannot keep out competitors. Only through regulatory capture / cooperating with government are monopolies sustained.

Even the greatest monopoly of all time -- Standard Oil -- which at its peak had 96% market share was whittled down to 64% by competition by the time the "white knight" regulators had it broken up.

And who knows the long-term consequences of empowering the government to determine what is and isn't a monopoly? Well in the case of friendly relationships with well-lobbied corporate interests, there will probably not be any anti-monopoly action forthcoming.
That's dumb.

Any algorithms that players come up with will almost certainly only be useful for playing the game.

Worse, when you're browsing Netflix titles they now start playing (literally) random music when a show is highlighted for more than about 3 seconds. The music is very generic and is not related to the show in any way, except that it superficially resembles the style of the show (e.g., drama, comedy, horror, etc.). It's an incredibly stupid feature that serves no purpose other than noise pollution.
