And since we are presenting opinions as fact: Boaty McBoatface was the better name. It would have made the boat and its research subject more appealing to children. More people would know about it, for better or worse. It would go down in history and take its research subject with it. The only winner in the new name is Sir Attenborough himself. Not that he doesn't deserve it, but my point stands.
I didn't mean that geographically but as a figure of speech for 'the political establishment of the UK'.
Thank you for this. I wish there were more people (or bots) like you who made thoughtful highlights.
Institutions are ultimately people and incentives. I have met with a number of researchers in these institutions where people are doing amazing research and I wish that they were able to contribute those advancements in the form of code in Julia.

Even as we worked on Julia, we have been snubbed by some who think Julia is not real research, and had a hard time getting papers published. There is a larger issue of how open source foundational software gets developed and incentives for people who do that. Universities incentivize writing papers, not software, unfortunately.

Eventually, it did work out and SIAM Review published our Julia paper.

Is it really the crowd becoming intelligent or stupid, or just that we are agreeing or disagreeing with the crowd and conflating that with the intelligence of the crowd?

As a quick test to try and determine this: try to think of occasions where you thought of a crowd as intelligent: did you agree or disagree with the crowd? Now try to think of occasions where you thought of a crowd as stupid: did you agree or disagree with the crowd?

If these questions are highly correlated, then you may not be measuring the intelligence of the crowd as much as you think you are. That we think of crowds in these two extremes is also a hint.
Who can "be expected to understand the effects of Brexit on all of society" ?

I'm pretty sure the majority of economics and finance experts only looked at this through the lens of how it would affect the economy. And even then only at a macro level.

I'm pretty sure the majority of politicians were mostly concerned with how it would affect the macro economy too, and also how it would affect the UKs ability to project power and influence.

The media? Selling to their demographic of choice.

I was told to frame the question in terms of "How will it effect how rich and powerful the UK is? And are you a racist?". Instead, I framed it in terms of "How do I want my descendants to be governed". I don't believe my political representatives would have framed the question that way, so I feel more qualified than them to make that decision. Even though it was based on opinion.
It doesn't matter, you should still contact someone technical about it, especially if she actualy said "more stars on their git". Put that quote in your message!

They might be glad to know she's filtering candidates based on that, because they can talk to her about it. It could lead to you getting an interview.

What's the worst that could happen?
I hate accept language. Google keeps pushing me to the German site, and there seem to be a million places where I might have to configure my computer to make it do the right thing. My OS is actually set to English, so I don't know where the German redirect of Google comes from.

What is so difficult about sending me the US site if I go to google.com, and the German site if I go to google.de? That is really the only language selector I need.

Likewise, other pages should simply have an explicit URL for another language, that I can memorize if I prefer that language.
I can't stand localized software/websites either.

I suspect it's partially because I'm much better at noticing bad $NATIVELANGUAGE than bad English.

Why would you expect a 6 year old phone (the 4S) to have any sort of resale value? That's incredibly old in phone years.

The Galaxy S5 was released half a year after the iPhone 5S, which might explain the price difference.
Why vote and choose “Voice” over “Exit”?
The result is probably that people who actually give a damn about their coworkers work, even when they are sick, and the people who don't call in sick when they aren't.
This is something I've often wondered myself - and it seems to be getting more difficult. The two most obvious (to me) would be a driver's license and voting, but I'm guessing vehicle insurance and banks want such a thing as well.

I haven't used it much for java but Intellij is excellent, hell even eclipse was pretty good.

I'd say in many ways dev tools seem better for java, the thing .net has going for it is that C# is a much nicer language.

Well hold on a minute. Part of the problem here was that when Google Apps for Education (GAFE) was introduced, privacy and security were touted as huge selling points. For years IT administrators in Education were told that GAFE was different, GAFE was a service for schools, it respected FERPA guidelines, it was isolated from the rest of Google's ad services.

But years afterwards, once everyone had migrated over, integrated everything with Google, then they it broke that Google had lied. And it's not like people sat on their hands either - there was a lot of anger and many complaints. But that only goes so far when you have an Education IT budget - migrations take a lot of tim and a lot of effort, and a lot of money.

The schools got conned hard, and it's not something you can just decide to switch on a dime either. Some Ed-Tech folk certainly carry the blame for evangelizing for Google, but the Education IT Administrators need to be given a break here when everything led them to believe Google's advertising.
I don't know why he would have written it that way on purpose to be deliberately confusing, as the non-confusing way would seem to have given more weight to his point, rather than less.
This is the number one reason that I thought the YC experiment with letting HN choose someone to receive a grant was a terrible idea. I predicted it would result in a nightmare and it predictably did.

The people choosing didn't have any skin in the game and they followed celebrities instead of thinking for themselves.

I hope YC has learned not to offer these choices.
Do you have a "reading mode" on your browser? It's a ~new invention for those who intend to read anything from the mobile web, despite the jounals' contempt for their audiences.
I fully agree with this statement. We hope to move forward and help create new things rather than replace something today. And of course, Julia is not the last word on this innovation either!

If you add that a lot of people that voted for leave are living in depressed areas that are getting BILLIONS from EU, even if I don't agree with the exact choice of words I don't think that is too far from reality.
I would have had the same harsh judgement for anyone that would cut his penis to spite her wife, but in that case I believe that a lot more people would have agreed with me.

May experience is that the sheep most farmers have are quite stupid.

They will just look stupidly at the lethal predator and make no attempt to get away.
They have been bred to be easier to handle (aka dumb) and would likely have been eaten in the wild.

Well, yes. Everything from murder to moral, legal police action can be so described.

> It's just a law that some people don't like.

... because it's legalised theft.

Libertarians (well, minarchist-Libertarians) support Government, and the rule of law. That doesn't mean we support _all_ Governments, or _all_ laws, as moral.
I remember Dreamless, Praystation, k10k et al with some fondness as part of a special era on the web when people were just making things for the sheer joy of experimenting with this new platform and seeing what was possible. Some of it was pretentious nonsense, some of it was quite fun, most of it would be dismissed as frivolous today. The web as an app platform really profoundly changed things but in many ways we stand on the shoulders of these early efforts.
I'd venture to say that displaying the English version with a clearly visible flag selector would be good enough in 99% of situationa.
Unsubstantiated guess: Apple wouldn't be able to tell big publishers their active reach on the News platform is X million people if it limited the news in the widget to the app sources you've explicitly followed.

I was also turned off by this and stopped using it for that reason.

I know Americans aren't used to employees having rights but the country that's known for its generous laws isn't Germany, it's France.
I just don't get the idea of using the word "productivity" in technology and innovation. Tech and innovation are about solving problems and creating a sustainable business model around those solutions and it is not like a factory where you are following a predefined procedure to produce stuff, like TV, cars etc.

That's a pretty charitable interpretation of Instant Articles.

Guava/Commons contains a lot more than collections. The standard class library in .NET has maybe a third of what's in Guava. Keep in mind that Java's built in library is probably just as big as C#. I won't bore everyone going over the list but check out the summary
https://github.com/google/guava/wiki

Things I've used recently include Guavas automatic argument tester, in memory caches/queues, high speed hashing algorithms, and Bloom filter. None of that stuff has real equivalents in C#.

That redis client looks solid, so I may got a bit carried trying to prove a point. The Postgres driver looks good too, but is not officially maintain by the PG team so it could evaporate some day. The Java equivalent IS an official Postgres driver. I see this with C# frequently, it's treated as second class by a lot of OSS projects.

You didn't make a counterpoint to Lucene, I assume because there was really no equal out there for C#.

These days tying your language to Windows, visual studio, and IIS is unforgivable. MS is trying to undo this with .NET core but for the time being I find it rediculous to need to pay for all these licenses. If my employer wasn't paying for my enterprise edition of VS and copies of IIS, Windows Server, and SQL Server I wouldn't be touching C# at all.

At home I use OpenJDK with eclipse and Dropwizard running on Linux with Postgres. The quality of the tech is the same and everything is free and open source.

Paraphrasing some French commentator, the problem with referendums is that the electorate don't necessarily answer the question asked.

Voters often like to give a government a kicking mid-term.

All of society is always all of me, maybe some friends, ocassionally family, but definatly me - im all of society. But i dont want to soundt egocentric. The massesmolasses are definatly with me, i can feel the avalanch of opinion, everytime i go online, like a huge fluid-physics simulation, going towards the drain, that is my viewpoint.

The strange thing is, this even occurs, if i had a radical change of opinion. The people dont just have the same opinion as me, they follow me- im the chosen one, as prophezized by the facebook.

Many developer use cases do not demand heavy bind mount file access. For example, incremental builds of static languages typically work fine.

docker/for-mac#77 is related to "bind mount" performance but docker/for-mac#668 is virtual block device performance. Have you posted a reproduction workload that demonstrates the performance problems you are having?

Docker 17.04 includes a `cached` bind mount flag that relaxes consistency of the mount in exchange for significantly reducing guest-host roundtrips especially for inefficient workloads that repeatedly access the same files.
Wasn't there some brouhaha about music when YouTube red was launching? Something about "independents" (think Adele, not highschool bands) complaining. Add to that e.g. music on YouTube in Germany. I would guess they would launch at the same time were it not for licensing.

I can't see this working out at all.

In the 2016 US election 43% of you failed to vote.

For Brexit 28% of people failed to vote. And the younger the demographic, the fewer people who voted.

In Australia where voting is compulsory, we have close to 6% informal votes. Donkey votes are believed to be close to 2%. I shudder to think of the people who vote for Labour or Libs because "their votes doesn't really count anyway".

And you don't have to vote that often! You had one job!

Reminds me of a 3D 2048 game I made some years back.

Check the dismember view I provided (space bar). That open up the cube to give a better spatial understanding of the board.

That is the problem with 3D games, I realized. Trying to visualize is a pain to most people and deviates them from the game. This was my attempt at solving that.

I think in your case, hovering over a cell and highlighting its adjacent numbers might help create better visual understanding of the state.

The privacy implications of using ChromeOS has always been horrible. You cannot use this OS to its fullest extent without signing in. And once you are signed in, it tracks everything you do online. Even printing to your desktop printer routes the print request through the cloud first (where its recorded by Google) and then back down to your computer. (Google doesn't look at your documents when you print but they still know when you print and how often. They also record the print job title, which can reveal a lot about what you're printing, and the printer you have.[1])

Imagine if every time you saved a document in Microsoft Word or Apple Pages, a record of when you saved, and how much time you spent in the app was saved by Microsoft or Apple. Now imagine every app you run in the OS tracks your activity to some degree, and every website is tracked too. Imagine this wasn't anonymous either because you'd signed into the OS and your account has your name, your gender, your location, your date-of-birth and even your mobile phone number. In other words, some of your most private and personal details tied to your activity in the OS.

No, this isn't a dystopian episode of Black Mirror, but real life. It's called ChromeOS and it's spread like wildfire in US schools. It should never have gained a foothold in Education without stronger privacy assurances and a guarantee of no tracking of students (who don't even have any choice in the matter).

I'm just utterly baffled by the response of the tech community toward Google on the issue of privacy and data collection. There is a strong double standard.

Microsoft and Facebook are, quite rightly, criticised and scrutinised over the amount and the degree of tracking they undertake. Meanwhile, Google, who capture unimaginably huge amounts of data on users, escapes any scrutiny.

Assurances that the data is "anonymised" or aggregated are not enough. The sheer scale of the data collected, even in aggregated form, lets these companies interrogate the data in ways we simply can't imagine.

I don't blame ordinary users for not fully understanding the privacy implications and the myriad and insidious ways they are tracked. But what excuse does the tech community have for giving Google a free pass on privacy and online tracking?

What would increasing the pay-rate change? Being sick would also pay more.
I know tonnes of people who don't use facebook and the people who do use it, it's usually just to connect with friends.

Facebook has 1.86 billion monthly active users as of Q4 2016[1]. At that time approximately 3.4 billion people used the internet. So a little over 1/2 the internet-using population, and 1/4 of everyone on Earth, has a Facebook account that they access at least once a month. If you drill down a bit about 80% of American adults use Facebook regularly[2]. You may know tonnes of people who don't use Facebook, but I think that's actually quite unusual. Outside of our HN-reading, privacy-interested, technically-competent bubble the overwhelming majority of people use Facebook, and Facebook does have an effective monopoly.

Perhaps you should investigate how good the EU has been for UK fishermen.

Fishing quotas are based on historical catches, which the UK had a very large share of due to its geographical position. UK fishermen then sold their quotas to the Spanish, French, etc. Despite this:

>The UK’s share of the overall EU fishing catch grew between 2004 and 2014. In 2004 the UK had the fourth largest catch of any EU country at 652,000 tonnes, by 2014 this had grown to 752,000 tonnes and the second largest catch of any country in the EU.

https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-pinching-our-fish/

Indeed, collectively, UK fishermen appear not to be very wise.
You're looking at the wrong settlement. It was 1.95 billion. https://m.theregister.co.uk/2004/04/03/why_sun_threw/
Don't even get me started. I live in Vancouver, British Columbia now and my English is pretty good -- I got maximum on English knowledge in the immigration scoring for example -- but Hungarian is my native language and to make it much, much worse I was a columnist and an editor at a magazine for eight years. I can look at a sea of Hungarian text and find the mistakes much faster than I will comprehend it! And translating computer lingo is very, very hard with different "schools" of how it should be done -- now let me note the magazine I worked for was a computer magazine, I literally was in the front lines waging this translation war and it's futile. I can't even look at a page written about computers and not want to run screaming.

So please, god, don't give me pages in Hungarian if at all possible even when I am visiting there. And at the same time could we just agree not to translate any of that? I speak if quite well, thanks much and Google Translate sucks horribly with an agglutinative language.
What they mean is that it's being generous compared with the US.
I beg to differ. HTTP is far better for any usecase than FTP.

I understand that sometimes one has to work because of constraint imposed from parties beyond the control of the project. This may force one to support FTP. But FTP is still a terrible protocol. Uploading files to a directory and processing those from a batch job is not a proper solution to an event driven solution.

> To us, it is the only highly available and reliable one.

As one who has had some experience with FTP I must say that you should consider reading after the meaning of HA and reliability.

> Web services have downtimes and re-sends

This is pure bullshit, pardon my French. How does FTP save you from a connection trouble? How does FTP have less downtime? FTP is a stateful protocol, cannot be simply load balanced and made HA. Also idempotency makes some HTTP operations safe to redo if connection troubles arouse.

For really huge amounts of data there is BitTorrent.
Amazon is also known to abuse how companies doing deliveries are supposed to work for them, forcing many people to work more hours than allowed by German law regarding drive hours per day and pause times.

This has already been discloused by undercover journalists, with GLS being one of the worst cases.
IDK, I have an ARM CB and here removing the devmode warning should in principle be just a matter of downloading CrOS's modified uboot, commenting few lines, building it and writing to a SPI flash on the board. At some point I even wanted to do it for fun but the flash chip seems to be hidden somewhere under heatsink and the perspective of messing with this white silicone goo for no practical gain was enough to stop me.
Are the downvoters themselves part of an inarticulate crowd, or would some of them care to elaborate?
That's already the peer pressure in the Netherlands which has similar illness rules as Germany I think. If you're sick, stay home, not least because other people don't want to be infected. And we also have a sort of common punishment -- if too many people are at home sick, we get less done of the stuff we want to get done.
