These kinds of biases are a problem, but that's why we need to guard against bullshit like this riddle or the Implicit Bias tests, because they discredit the message.

Community seems to be uncommon in the age of individualism.

You've just identified one of the many things that I believe Canadians see as a value that distinguishes us from our friends to the south.

Whether that's fair or not is something else entirely. But I think it's true that, generally speaking, Americans see individualism as one of their defining values, which directly informs a whole host of other derived values (belief in the power of capitalism, distrust of government, etc).

My experience (for what it's worth) is that Canadians, on average, may value those things, but I don't believe they are seen as a defining element of the Canadian identity.
Canada does the same thing. I'm a spousal sponsored immigrant and if I were to claim anything as such my partner is actually the one the govnernemnt holds responsible for funding it [from australia, so hardly the same category as a refugee]

How insulting to Palmer, Mark Bolas, the Institute for Creative Technologies, and the wider virtual reality academic community.
I'd put "non-identifiable" in scare-quotes, but yes. This is a cute publicity stunt, but it won't work.

De-anonymizing datasets is generally possible to some degree, assuming the dataset has enough information value in the first place for someone to want it. (And it generally gets easier as more data becomes available with which to correlate.)
This style of writing that has a flavor of "omg I'm so random xD" and "I'm not sure why this works but it does lol" is always irritating.

I went to grad school to study the neuroscientific basis of consciousness, and this paper is a classic. It inspired one of the weirder conference sessions I've ever been to at ASSC, called "Is a fish conscious?"

Imagine a room full of philosophers and scientists arguing vociferously to determine where (or even if) to draw the line between conscious/unconscious organisms. (E.g., fish=probably, bacteria, probably not?)
Gizmodo had a regular feature called Palmer Watch stalking him, which ran for 117 days despite the fact that never never made any kind of public statement or appeared anywhere for that time.
There is no replenishing process, its just a conceptual thing. In code one just computes time difference and then multiplies that with fill rate to determine tokens to fill before deducting any. Token buckets are popular because they work well, require fixed size storage and are extremely simple to implement and test.
Is it bad or racist for a nation to prefer high-paid immigrants who generate more GDP?
I think "immense" is an exaggeration. Who we present ourselves to be on the internet is often not who we actually are. I can say with great confidence that while at least a few of my coworkers would probably care, there are few to none among my friends and family who put any credence into social network "likes".

And it's creepy that the author parsed public comments to invent an investigation into the private accounts of a public figure by using a flaw in Instagrams suggestion feature to follow family members to their father. If you did that in real life you'd be a stalker. Here, this is journalism? Give me a break.

Doesn't it rather depend on what you're trying to teach? To push an over simplistic alternative, maybe it hinders the syllabus but necessarily learning in the broadest sense.

I'm not sure I've thought this through very deeply at this stage but I do have a deep distrust of formal education. I learned by playing with stuff until it broke and skim reading chunks of books I didn't have the patience to finish.

Also - the classroom is full of distractions of other kinds. Move here, do this, listen to this, copy that. There's a huge amount of busy-work at school that is only tangentially related to learning. Technology might not be a magic bullet but it's no worse than some of the nonsense kids are put through.
The Min-T Processor
Exciting times. It won't be long until my son is asking me why we used to just drop these things in the ocean after first use.
Sure, I know now exactly what happened, and what I should have done in order to avoid it. My point here is that "Git repo is immutable and cannot lose data" is a lie, and people who believe it (like I did at the time -- hey, if anything breaks on rebase, I can always git reflog and reset to good state, right?) will have a bad time at some point down the line, so it's better to stop this lie from spreading.

Apollo Client doesn't solve problems with GraphQL, it provides a client for GraphQL.
Yup. I'm fully with you. You need have evidence of serious unavoidable problems before you go down the route of having lots of distributed systems and communication between them, because those systems are far harder to reason about globally, and debug. There's a high risk of undesirable emergent properties and cascading failure modes.

I was excited when I first saw Microsoft's similar Continuum, but that product seems to be going nowhere.

I like the idea of a phone being one's only smart device and have great docking support. Even better if docking interfaces were standard so things like work areas equipped with monitors, mice, and keyboards in airports would work with future iPhones, Androids, and other phones.

For my work, a good web browser, and a good SSH terminal app (that supported many terminals open at once) would cover most of my needs.
The root of an awful lot of the problems charities try to address is that people are poor. They aren't poor because of Elon Musk, but there's a good argument to be made that if it weren't for capitalism (now, not historically) we could have developed nations where there were no poor.
> I don't understand why is it dangerous,

Because you may get fired. Before this devolves into a philosophical argument, I am not saying this is right, or that there aren't many valuable employees and skill sets who are less at risk of this sort of termination, or that there are many good and valuable ways to negotiate these things with your boss. But the advice of simply stating you get up from your desk to leave at the end of your contract time is dangerous. This is highly context dependent.

Communication is good. Put in the effort, go the extra mile and tell your boss your are overwhelmed. Don't just get up and go home at the stroke of [5:00] or [6:00] or whenever it is.

Amazon.com isn't an application?

Less flippantly, why would Amazon want to expend more resources to make less money? They can comfortably keep pushing down the stack for a good long time, swallowing up more and more *aaS segments until they're well bigger than both Google and Apple.

That's what the world needs from Amazon. Not Yet Another Productivity Suite. In the meantime they can do like Google, and disrupt segments where entrenched business interests are getting in their way.
Depends, doesn't it? Your race and nationality aren't the important pieces of information. The cultural similarity is convenient, but not crucial. Similarly, shared language.

Everything else being equal, the country can probably absorb more educated people with some money than it can uneducated people who are poor.

I don't think a rich 24 year old kid, doing something that was widely considered an attack against the Establishment, is something that is highly unusual or bad.

It doesn't seem fair to forever conflate Palmer with Trump or assume that he completely agrees with him.
Maybe his tactics and philosophy are flawed, but I don't think his intentions are. Everyone's so quick to judge, demonize and forever cast people as bad.

He admitted to funding trolling memes to support the current President of the United States? He has to go away forever now, and we all have to pretend not to like him?
I didn't see anything resembling an accusation in the parent, just a quick demonstration of the linguistic tricks our minds can play on us and some sarcasm.

What is it about pushing diversity that puts people in a near-constant defensive/attack posture? I understand that adoring surface-level diversity is not a universally accepted stance despite leagues of loudly fervent believers, but it seems unlikely that anyone thinks this posture is actually helpful. Or at least from the outside, it's pretty clear it isn't, maybe when you're in it, it feels right. I wish I got it.
> Teachers know they should be personalizing their curriculum, assessment, and instructional performance for what each kid needs. They will typically even know how to accomplish it.

I've been thinking about trying to build tools that let teachers create educational content (incl. formative assessment, etc) and share that content with each other.

Does that sound like what you have in mind? If so, would love to chat.

Some of the points mentioned are covered by the Ungit tool: https://github.com/FredrikNoren/ungit In terms of how your intended changes are visualized in the DAG model.

I stopped using this tool after getting a beter understanding of Git core and how the commands manipulate the database. But I do still think the changes suggested in the post are valuable.
I'm not inline with the whole GUI idea. But I like the concept of 'everything is a commit' and reducing the 'delta algebra' to their basic forms. As my biggest struggle with Git is always to make the translation of my intended change to the database into an abstract Git command.
Off the top of my head, you're also missing electricity, food, shelter, clothing, and entertainment. Those are more necessary than some of the things you've listed here.

So I guess we'll have the government own or heavily regulate 90% of the economy. Gee, that's historically worked so well in the past... :)

That's a great point about the similarity of the two problems. If we didn't already know from intimate personal experience that there is such a thing as consciousness, no amount of physical observation could ever be sufficient to prove to us that it exists. Similarly, if we weren't well prepared (on other grounds entirely) to assert that certain things ought or ought not to be done, no amount of observing the actual state of things could be sufficient to show that there is actually good or evil in the world.

I will never understand this argument that refugees will overwhelm the host country. It's ridiculous.

Most of the illegal immigrants are travelers who overstay their visas often with little funds or connections. It hasn't caused society to break down or become an unmanageable problem. In fact it is so unnoticeable that most people don't even know the extent of it.

But yet refugees, the people who need help the most, are singled out as being a potential threat to society.
Although I'm a huge fan of tech writing for beginners, in this case I could have done with 0.6 as much whimsy.

> User-experience is one of the major topics VR research is working on right now (not including research into just "better headsets", which one could argue also is part of making the experience better), so it seems pretty clear everybody is aware of the fact that there are problems to solve.

But it's a fundamental design problem - the fact that you're handicapping a person's environmental awareness. You could try to recreate the environment in the headset, but then it becomes more AR and less VR. (AR being more viable than VR any day..)

> The bigger issue for VR is the question of "What for?". It's still expensive, requires room if you want to do more than sit on a chair, and it's mostly a fancy way of playing games (with some niche examples of other things). That might kill VR, at least when sold to customers.

The reverse is even more compelling. You could take any VR application and create a standard non-VR version, and it would be more usable. In the end, a non-VR computer experience is so much better than VR. VR is completely unessential.
The other reply is correct about the piece being marketing, but your question is still good.

I've worked at 2 edtech startups and have a few teachers in my family, and my personal observation has been that technology is best when it removes friction in the areas of classroom control, assessment, communicating with parents, and organizing presentation materials. For the part where teachers figure out how to engage students and get them over conceptual humps, it seems like teachers are way ahead of any technology.

The canonical technology fail in edtech is to dump computers or robot kits into the classroom with no training. I have been in a number of classrooms where stuff like that winds up piled in a very expensive corner.

GitKraken [1] has quite a few features that are very similar to what is shown in the article:

* Switching branches with dirty working copy does an auto stash/pop (also stashes are shown visually in the timeline attached to the branch)

* You can do a commit by editing the placeholder text in the timeline (though there's still a distinction between working copy and staged)

* You can shift+click multiple commits and squash merge them

* You can cherry pick by right-clicking, but not drag-and-drop

* You can merge or rebase by dragging branches to each other (just found that out, I usually right-click)

* It's a UI, so there's a visual DAG tree (and it's fairly nice looking)

I have no affiliation with the company, I've just been using it for the past several months.

Never set the expectation that you'll work any more than 8 hours. If you're learning something and feel like you need to put in more then go home learn where you're comfortable. Alternatively find an employer that values you. I made the mistake once of working over consistently. I was stuck at a place that I was working 14-16 hours a day (Come in at 5AM leave at 9PM), just to get the work assigned to me done. I found another employer that valued me and my time.
Other than Couch/Pouch, are there any other projects providing solutions to this problem? The one thing I dislike about couchdb is the default "user-per-db" model.

I'm interested in solutions that allow a traditional relational db instead of a key-value store. Seems like with indexeddb on the client, and postgres on the server, you could probably keep a segment synced.

Hard to say what I'd do when I haven't been in that situation, but in a past dispute with a large company, I felt I had the freedom to make them pay for their desired confidentiality. (It wasn't quite like this situation, but somewhat similar.)

I demanded a 60% premium over their "final" offer for the confidentiality clause. They told me to take a walk, but reversed and paid after my lawyer contacted them. (the 60% was basically pulled out of my nether bits; it was a wild guess at what they might value it at.)

I'd recommend anyone in a similar situation putting a price tag on the gag clauses, if they can afford it. Aside from many other issues, it is a nasty tactic that is bad for markets, because it increases economic inefficiency by increasing information asymmetry.
What I like about Thomas Nagel is that he is one of the few atheists who steps up against darwinism and materialism as an explanation for almost everything.

Quoting from The Last Word (1997):

"[...] I don't want here to be a God; I don't want the universe to be like that. My guess is that this cosmic authority problem is not a rare condition and that it is responsible for much of the scientism and reductionism of our time. One of the tendencies it supports in the ludicrous overuse of evolutionary biology to explain everything about life, including everything about the human mind."

Of course his book Mind & Cosmos is the best example of this
Mentor Graphics is also a big player in the Automotive industry supplying many large OEMs and Suppliers with AutoSAR platforms (among others) and integration engineering services.

My guess is that you've crossed the threshold where you have enough money to get by. For me, money matters significantly, remains important, and will do so for the foreseeable future.

I have bills to pay, food that I need to eat, transport to buy so that I can get to work, but my job doesn't pay enough for all of the above. If I could be paid for my value to the company, I would be in your position. (I train all the staff, a decade's experience working with the poorly designed systems and badly installed hardware. I help the senior staff do their work when everything goes to hell because the IT guys wouldn't do their jobs properly.) Instead, I'm expected to do all this for free - so, I've just started disappearing when it hits the fan.

I would much rather enjoy what I do, but since it doesn't pay enough for me to survive, I have little choice in the matter.

I've put fair queuing into an web API. Requests queue by IP address; if you have a request in the mill, any further requests are processed behind those from other IP addresses. This handles single-source overloads very well. It doesn't require tuning; there are no fixed time constants or rate limits. For about a month, someone was pounding on the system with thousands of requests per minute. This caused no problems to other users. I didn't notice for several days.

One would think that this would be a standard feature in web servers.

Oh, a Trump supporter, you say. Well, I'm glad you told us, because now I know the right opinion to have about him.
> I'm claiming that

This is different than the claims that were made when we made this decision. Specifically, the cost angle. You can absolutely do this, but we don't turn it on by default due to its expense. See https://danluu.com/integer-overflow/ for example. From that link:

> Summing up, integer overflow checks ought to cost a few percent on typical integer-heavy workloads

That few percent matters. And the extensive discussion (in both directions) on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8765714

It would be reasonable to turn it on, but that's not the decision we made.

> One of the biggest missed opportunities with git is metadata about rebase and history-rewrite operations. If git stuck that information into the log it would be trivial for clients to understand that these commits appear to have different hashes only due to a rebase. The client could even compute the deltas from both tress to compare the supposedly "common" commits, validating that they really are the same (or maybe allow slightly differences to account for rebasing). If the commits claim to have the same ancestry but different deltas it would be up to you to accept your peer's work or to go review/merge.

This is ripe for flaming, but this is how mercurial handles rebasing under changeset evolution, and it's pretty much the biggest area where hg gets something right that git got wrong. Basically, it keeps around the old changeset of the rebase and adds a new kind of edge to indicate the update of the rebase, as well as keeping the obsolete changesets from being seen by most users while maintaining them internally. This means that normal rebase operations can see the old and new versions of a changeset as if they were regular changesets. Combined with phases, it's also easy to set up your repositories so that you can never accidentally rebase your master branch.
