>I'd say there's a real disconnect between the disciplines when there should be more teamwork

Could you explain what you mean with this?

>If Philosophy is going to argue that the scientific method doesn't work

The critique isn't as blunt as you make it out to be. Philosophers argue that the scientific method isn't the ultimate epistemological tool to find out everything and to understand all there is to know.

>that the world doesn't exist
>we can't trust our senses or stuff like that

Just as a side note, this hasn't been disproven, since it's beyond the reach of science. Science, as a materialist/physicalist philosophy presumes itself to be true, while at they same time limiting itself.

>Has there been any practical advancement on this line of thinking in the last 50 years?

What do you mean with "practical advancement"? For one to ask or answer this question seriously, one has to take a lot of things for granted and such as concepts of "practical" or "advancement". And what's so special about the last 50 years?

>do you envision that the scientific method will be revised by anything discovered in philosophy?

Philosophy as a discipline isn't science, you don't "discover" things, since that presumes these truths to be out there, ready to be found, which doesn't mean that people don't search for them.

But besides that, what do you mean with "revised"? The critique isn't as already mentioned, that the scientific method isn't right (it most certainly is a very good tool regarding science itself), but that it can't be the only one, used to find out everything. That's just naive positivism.

You can know scientific truths about parts of your life, but you can't know scientific truths about the whole of it.
To quote from the very article you're citing:

"At the urging of Mr. Navalny, tens of thousands of Russians — many of them in their teens and 20s — poured into the streets in scores of cities across the country on Sunday to protest endemic corruption among the governing elite, despite a blanket ban against unsanctioned rallies of any size."

I'd say that organising the largest protest against Putin in a decade does make you "a leader of the opposition". And if you're questioning his involvement with these protests, I'll let this Russian court make my point: "The court on Monday also fined him about $350 for organizing an illegal demonstration."

Remember when we were promised better things every year? In 1950 we were told by now we'd hardly have to work, have lots of leisure time etc., but at least we all got a 3 bed house near a nuclear power plant. Now we get fewer crumbs off the top table than ever.

We could just build more, better buildings; enough to make the price go down. There is no incentive for property developers to do this of course.

“It’s like saying that if someone buys a handgun and uses it to rob a liquor store, that the handgun manufacturer is complicit.”

I think that's a good analogy.
This is almost entirely what I too hold as the best intersection of facts which explain the current scenario.

I'm spending a lot more of my time looking at community behaviors online, moderation and moderation evolution, and any papers which cover this area.

This stuff is virulent.

I think we might be headed into a dead cat bounce period in the near future - a lot of people have become aware of this now, and the idea is obviously disseminating a lot more.

(3-4 years ago, I never saw this idea summarized and shared in a single piece, vs multiple times in the last 3 months.)

The fundamental motor, the gameplay loop which drives this is the degradation and competition in the media sector.

Competition for ads, consolidation, along with management targets would force magazines/papers to move towards language which would grab a larger audience and more attention.

And then you have the partisan right wing groups, created because they kept saying that the entire media is a liberal conspiracy.

Further, after significant involvement in the interview and hiring process at my last position (a very large technology company), it's my belief that this would be counter-productive to most firms. Finding candidates that have the skillsets necessary, fit the culture, and perform well in the interviews is difficult enough.

We do the same but instead of using redis we built our own service for it currently on top of leveldb instead of using redis.

This allow us to define the parameters of the token bucket on the service instead of the application like:

'requests':
per_second: 100
size: 200

Then in the app is like

conformant = limitd.take('request', ip, 1)

I found the token bucket alg to be useful in a lot of scenarios not only for rate limiting but also for any kind of event debouncing. A common example: lets say you want to email a user everytime they trigger some condition on the system but you dont want to send the same mail more than once a day.

Our project is opensource, we still working on it:

A global variable is a variable with global scope, meaning that it is visible and accessible throughout the program, unless shadowed.

Emacs added lexical scoping several years ago. When a global variable is declared in emacs using defvar, in addition to becoming globally accessible, the symbol is also flagged as special. This causes it to use dynamic binding whenever it is `let`-bound, even if lexical scoping is in effect.

I pointed out dynamic binding in order to call attention to a technique that allows global variables to be composed into large-scale systems without being hindered by the problems traditionally associated with global state. But if you'd like more precision, feel free to ask.

You seem to think judges have an obligation to deny their humanity. That's not the case, and never has been. Read some opinions (and dissents) from the Supreme Court if you have the time. Sarcasm is an important tool of debate, and no reason to dismiss someone's judgement.

I felt like this for part of college. I came around, and I regret not "buying in" earlier. Often in life I've thought that the thing around me didn't have much value and I lived in my own little world. I finally got enough experience for it to click that you can find value in most situations, including college. And in fact college has unique qualities that you may not be able to find again later in life. I hope you are having a blast.

Some companies love college hires.

Big tech firms hold campus hiring events. Many companies aggressively go after college grads. Some even go after juniors for internships (which is great for the company - it's a several month opportunity to vet a candidate without commitment. If things work out, the candidate gets invited to come onboard when they graduate).

College hires won't get very exciting work initially. At a fast moving company, they're going to be learning on the job (which means they need to be dynamic/adaptable and curious). Unfortunately, this can mean picking up operational work that more seasoned engineers don't enjoy (however, still a great opportunity to learn and grow for most).

I like that you mentioned "inversion".

ML is strongly related to solving inverse problems but it does not tend to be emphasised enough, in my opinion.

In reality, speech organs (a relatively low dimensional system) generate high dimensional data (speech). This is an example of the so called curse of dimensionality.

What ML does is to invert this process and create a model of the generation process.

My favorite example is quantum mechanics. Physicists made lot of measurements and created a model (quantum mechanics) that reproduces those measurements (and even works on test data, not only on training data).

This is an example of a solution of an inverse problem. ML does the same.

So in one way or an other, every working TTS has a model that accurately describes the speech organs and how the brain uses them to create speech from text.
The difference was that investigative journalism used to cough up documents, videos and proofs before running to the presses.

Now it's a string of 'anonymous official' and the new form that tries harder to be legit 'anonymous official heard X person say', with X a famous and readily recognizable character out of government.

At that point is hearsay vs hearsay. Reputable outlets are trashing their reputation and dragging it in the ground in the name of 'faster news' - but then it's even harder to normal people to tell what's grounded, what's likely, what's a half truth and what's propaganda.

It's far to easy to get position from a crackpot conspiracy theorist and wash them up into a better thought post on a unbranded website, so google searches now dig up as much trash as good posts for many important topics, and because the writing style and source weight is the same (hearsay) it'll be increasingly difficult for people to process.

This is especially true for controversial topics that sit at the edge of personal knowledge. I.e. some day ago I was curios about methane plant total lifecycle impact compared to solar panel disposal or solar concentrator plants, and happened across this article that brings up some interesting points, backs them up with some easily verifiable math and shows a greater complexity to a topic I thought was more straightforward:

http://energypost.eu/wind-solars-achilles-heel-methane-meltd...

and the problem is... I have no idea if anything written in there is actually true. it looks true, it sounds a reasonable and balanced analysis, but for that article there are three stating the contrary, and I have not the instruments for differentiating which is good and which is pushing an agenda, since it's not a clear case of partisanship (like you'd expect from articles pushed from 'the union of conservative scientists')

It's more likely that an employer in Europe, or Asia will ask for this. If you were coming to the US on an H1B visa, you'll have to file paperwork as part of the credential evaluation. For me, this involved a third-party reviewing that my degree was equivalent to that from a US university.

Your comment on "fit the culture" can be considered somewhat offensive, and an indicator to candidates that they may want to consider other opportunities.
I wish standard (POSIX) Make would be sufficient but it frequently isn't. While some Make features from GNU and BSD Make made it into the POSIX spec (such as "include"), I frequently find myself desiring a more orthogonal facility to integrate output of external programs into Make builds. That is, by using POSIX Make's "VAR=`cmd`" syntax with backtick-quoted commands (or other shell evaluation syntax), you can define macros programmatically for incorporation into build rules as lazily evaluated text substitution variables, but you can use those only in build rules rather than in requisites or targets (where they get interpreted verbatim). A partial solution would be adopting GNU Make's eager evaluation syntax (VAR:=`...`) into POSIX.

OTOH, while I'm not a big fan of autotools internals (especially libtool), being able to run "./configure && make install" on tens of thousands of F/OSS packages is something I'd hate to loose. In fact, the extreme consistency in installation procedures (including use of pkg_conf etc.) and discipline in directory layout accross so many F/OSS packages is something I very much admire, given it's an unexpected outcome of a "Bazaar" style development model.

The understanding of climate change was born out of the study of planets in our solar system. It is reasonable to expect that the investigation of the human condition would greatly benefit from its study away from the planet that humans evolved from.

Well, I couldn't. I deeply regret not rooting it when it was on iOS8. I was given it by my work specifically for development, and wanted it to be pure, so I installed flux by signing it with my developer account, and sideloaded it with xcode.

It actually seems baffling to me that Apple is stricter and more deceptive about forcing updates than most game console companies. Our iPads are specifically for medical use, and we wanted to target iOS7.

And I'm reminded of my mistake whenever I go to read in bed. The one time I turned my back on Apple, and it cost me. Just like when I was a kid and I installed that "emergency" update for iTunes 4.01 that disabled playlist sharing. Or their crippling AirPort administrator update. I had kept copies of all my ipsw files that iTunes offered, and I thought that would be enough, but, I missed the window and I had no choice but to do iOS9.

It's really sad that I now have to be more vigilant about making my own backups, because software has become so unreliable now, I never know if a version of software I'm comfortable with will become extince overnight, replaced with some crummy "upgrade". I remember when I was /excited/ by updates. Now, I have to make sure I've backed everything up first.
> I think the same way, as I'm my mid-30s and I've always only worked for small(ish) companies as a programmer ever since I dropped out of college, but I had a cultural shock recently, as a close friend of mine had to provide a paper-record (don't know the exact English term) with all his college grades when he recently got hired as a software architect by a medium-to-large software company (500+ devs based in several Eastern European cities).

Just a guess but I'd say they've been burned in the past by people lying about their transcripts (class/grade history) and as a result they ask for it going forward. Either that or overzealous HR trying creating more work and process.

I've never heard of a company in the USA asking for a transcript. I'm not aware of anyone asking for a copy of a diploma either. Though presumably if you lie about it on your employment application and they subsequently find out about it it'd be grounds for termination with cause.

Before C was brought into the world, OSes were being written in Algol, PL/I dialects, since 1961.

At Xerox PARC they moved from BCPL into Mesa, used to write Xerox Star and Pilot OSes. Also one of the first IDEs, also known as Xerox Development Environment (XDE). The year was 1976.

Mesa eventually got automatic memory management support (RC with a local tracing GC for collecting cycles) and became known as Mesa/Cedar.

Niklaus Wirth created Modula-2 in 1976 after his first sabbatical at Xerox given his experience with Mesa, used it to create the Lilith workstation at ETHZ, this was followed a few years later by Oberon for the Ceres workstation, inspired by Mesa/Cedar after his second sabbatical at Xerox.

The OOP extensions that Borland added into Turbo Pascal are actually from Apple's Object Pascal, used to create Lisa's OS and the initial versions of Mac OS, before Apple decided to make the development tools appealing to the growing UNIX workstation market and introduced Macintosh Programmer's Workshop.

On MS-DOS compatible systems, which were written in Assembly, there was a plethora of Basic, Pascal, Modula-2, C and C++ compilers to choose from. Plus business languages like Cobol and xBase.

It was only with the success of Watcom C++ adoption among game developers, thanks to its DOS extender, and the move to OS/2 and Windows 3.1 that C and C++ started to grow in adoption.

However most developers on OS/2 and Windows 3.1 were actually adopting C++ frameworks like CSet++, OWL and MFC, or alternative environments like TPW, Delphi or VB. Mac guys had Powerplant.

On Windows 3.1, C++ patterns like RAII were already common place, and even though each compiler had its own library, all of them provided support for safe strings, vectors and some form of smart pointers.

Writing pure C on Windows, besides Microsoft themselves, has always been mostly done by those porting UNIX stuff into Windows.

Even Microsoft by the time they released the Windows 3.1 SDK, a new set of macros was introduced to try to make it safer to code in plain C.

Yes, it's "standard dogma" to use your pointlessly biased phrase. It's also an incredibly plausible explanation considering that Russian troups were stationed in East Germany and in the rest of Eastern Europe.

That's right, some of those who had faught in the Nazi war were unhappy about having lost.

However, most Germans never voted for Hitler in the first place and once liberated they happily went on to become one of the most prosperous nations on earth. All during "occupation" as you call it.
Just a side note:

This kind of research could help us on Earth, too. For example,
some of the heat that gets wasted when you drive your car could
be reused and put back into the car to charge the battery
or power electronics.

I once worked for a company on software that was, among other things, used to optimize the fuel efficiency of cars. There was some talk about how using Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs) to recover the waste heat form the exhaust pipe would be really cool - But that those TEGs were too heavy, too inefficient and too expensive to make any sense in a car.

So maybe, this is the breakthrough that was needed. If this technology could recover a few KW from the waste heat, this might greatly improve the fuel efficiency of cars. Or it is just some marketing talk, like, "Look, what we are researching here might be useful to YOU too"...

Can somebody comment on that?
