I have been saying this forever as it relates to politics. Compromise and meeting in the middle my indeed be the worst of all solutions to a problem. These things should be treated at least as skeptically as any of the other positions one could take. The media has hyped up compromise as the solution to everything when it is likely to produce the worst of all worlds.
I've worked at 3 startups. Every single one of them has (or had) the problems you describe.

Is there some known principle that governs this, something that could be named along the lines of Parkinson's Law or the Peter Principle?
I doubt you will notice much during regular editing. I once wrote a text editor in chibi scheme which I would estimate to be slower than python,and it was snappy despite doing all redraws and such itself.

What you will notice is of course the GIL. Once any plugin starts doing enough work there will be noticeable lag unless Vy supports plugins using multiprocess python.

I have been toying with writing an editor in guile scheme and despite using _very_ suboptimal data structures and algorithms everything is instant up until maybe 10 simultaneous cursors in a 30kb file.

Due to the shitty implementation (really just a first draft), that was actually creating a new buffer for every insert.
Does Crystal have YAML.load_file like Ruby does? Loading a YAML file only requires one method call in Ruby.
"There's no mechanism that would cause someone's inner character to be reflected in their appearance in any consistent way." That's a pretty big leap. Down Syndrome has consistent physical characteristics that correlate with a particular set of cognitive/behavioral characteristics. While it is important to carefully critique scientific findings that may be motivated by political biases, it is also important to give science as a process the chance to find truths even if we might not like their political implications.

Even under Trump they can't do the right thing and fire all of them (or even better, eliminate the destructive EPA).
I hear you, OP. At my job, I work on building marketing software for large insurance/utility/telecom companies with similar...shall we say disenfranchisement.

Firstly a word of warning - as the user akg_67 has said, there is no escape from the workplace politics. My girlfriend works in non-profits and currently works at one that is trying to clean up supply chains in manufacturing outsourcing countries. A commendable initiative, I think, but her workplace is still full of the same petty stupid games as anywhere else. Her previous one was about teaching girls skills and leadership, but you guessed it, there too she was part of the same crap you're trying to escape.

But if you can overlook that, and want to work for a worthy cause, you will need to network and meet other people who already work in this field. You will need to surround yourself with those people and get into that.

Here's what I would recommend for that, something I am doing myself. Join an org like ImpactHub (there are some in cities all around the world). It's a nice co-working space but also exists to foster sustainable enterprise and bring the community together of social entrepreneurs. They typically try to find connections when you join based on your interests.

Speaking of interests, figure out what you're actually passionate about and what you care about. If you really want to get out and do something worthwhile, then figure out what you consider worthwhile.

Is it the environment? Privacy? Education? Fighting corruption?

Whatever your cause, if you narrow down what you are passionate about perhaps it would be easier to find orgs or people that are like-minded and that share in those causes.

This is one of the reasons I hated working there. They waste money and every year beg for more. Why do they even need an office in a prime San Francisco location? On top of that, they work on stupid projects, and internally the organization is run by imbeciles.
Only if you already invested several grand in a 3D printer. A service like shapeways is similar cost and time to getting a pcb made. A pcb milling game machine is the same cost as a 3D printer.
Articles like this keep getting flagged (because some people on HN are more interested in living in their little tech bubble), so I will say this before that happens: this administration will set back American science and technology by at least a couple of decades. And that's a conservative estimate.

Pruitt will surround himself with yes-men, and that is super scary when it comes to science. Essentially, all science that does not fit the administration's agenda will be rejected. This is just one of the precursors.
Best advice I ever heard on getting ahead in life: Choose your parents wisely. My advice on marriage is similar: Be stupidly lucky in choosing a life partner. It worked for me! Last summer we celebrated our 35th anniversary. Looking forward to the next 35. (You laugh! My uncle and aunt celebrated their 70th.)

Less flippantly: My parents divorced when I was 5 and my brother was 3. This was the defining trauma for much of my young life. I vowed never to do that, never to inflict that on children I might eventually have. When I married, it was simply, absolutely for good. I would die rather than violate that oath.

My family urged me to do the standard thing they all did, of setting up a pre-nuptial agreement and having the prospective spouse sign it. I never considered that for a minute. I was not going to place that sort of fault line in our understanding of our marriage at the beginning. We are active Catholics (she from birth, me as an adult convert).

We laugh a lot, and enjoy each others' jokes, off-hand witticisms, and spontaneous turns of phrase. I think it is fair to say that we each find the other to be extremely interesting intellectually. We tell each other we love each other frequently. We leave the kids behind and go on a cruise together once per year.

My wife rather unsentimentally states that love is not a feeling, it is a decision. I think it is worth it to consciously reflect on what will communicate love to your partner in ways that they understand and find meaningful. Then, do it. The doing can be more important than whatever transitory feelings might or might lie behind it.

Relatively early in our marriage, I made a career choice that was an unambiguous case of putting my career ahead of my marriage and family. The consequences of that choice resonated for years in our marriage. That was the biggest mistake I ever made, and I am grateful that our family managed to survive it. I will never do something that selfish, thoughtless, and stupid again. Things can get difficult, ugly, and painful for a time.

Expanding on the point above about dying rather than walking away: That probably relates metaphorically to the NYTimes article shared by the OP. In my experience, as you and your partner grow and change over a lifetime, you have to let go of, and in effect die to the relationship you had. Over and over. There is a cycle of death, relinquishment, and renewal that is inevitable in a lifelong relationship.

Would you really want to spend time as a 60-year-old with a person whose best years were their high school years, and who doggedly clings to that identity for the rest of their adult life? Of course not.

You become co-authors of an amazing, surprising, unfolding story. Your and your partner's identity co-evolve. To support and encourage another person's growth inevitably involves letting go of who they used to be.

(BTW, please do not take anything I said above as condoning abusiveness in a relationship. There are of course horrible and untenable relationships that simply must be ended.)
> Rails went on to release subsequent versions, each of which advocated doing a near rewrite of working code and obsoleted/broke many of the libraries in the ecosystem.

We recently upgraded our huge monolithic Rails 3.2x application to Rails 4.0

About ~300 kloc, and several hundred models. Lots of libs, tons of gem dependencies, lots of assorted bits like Resque tasks, etc. It's big.

The upgrade was pretty painless, and it was handled by our least experienced internal team.

No major rewrites involved. Most of the pain was just the grunt work of adopting Rails 4's strong parameters. We could have continued using attr_accessible, but felt that switching to strong parameters would give us an easier path in the future.

There was also some random pain involved by the need to update various "3rd-party" (i.e., not core Rails) gems, some of which introduced incompatibilities or other issues. But, this was relatively minor.

We did not encounter a need for this "near rewrite" you speak of. Nothing was rewritten, and none of the changes were large.

From what I've seen of Rails 5.x, it shouldn't pose a major problem either.

Now, I've heard that Rails 1.x to 2.x or 2.x to 3.x did involve a lot of breakage. I think that's what you're thinking of, maybe?

"Having a lot of math involved does not mean that it is mathematically elegant" I agree to your point, but at the same time how much effort is being made to understand the intricacies of deep learning is my question. In my opinion, those who dont understand these techniques bluntly say its a black box but its not entirely a black box. I am confident if more reearchers start to peel it off layer by layer , a lot more insights will be generated given the field is relatively new .
non US citizens/permanent residents

Why not just apply to it to non-resident aliens (a federal income tax status) rather than to people who aren't US citizens or permanent residents (which is related to nationality/immigration status).

All US citizens are tax resident. All permanent residents are resident aliens. However, by defining things this way, you are excluding people who are living in the US on a temporary work visa (e.g. H-1B, TN, L-1, etc.) and other temporary residents who are, nonetheless, very much resident in the US, in that they spend over 183 days in a year (or more than 4 months per year averaged over 3 years; the rules are kind of complicated) in the US.

Marriage at year 1 is nothing like marriage at year 5 is nothing like marriage at year 15 is nothing like year 20, ad infinitum.

If you don't embrace the person your spouse is at this very moment, nothing will help you stay together. After having kids, our lives are very different, and we have become different people. I need to love my wife for who she is now, not yearn for who she was 8 years ago, and vice versa.

Stack Exchange: How can an ordered pair be expressed as a set?
Following this principle I sometimes think the new east span of the Bay Bridge is/was a $6 billion boondoggle. The historical (and I thought, beautiful) original span was not retrofitted because Caltrans said they could build a new span for less that would have a longer lifespan. The simple, cost effective viaduct design was rejected as not grand enough for a Bay Area bridge and a short decorative, self-anchored suspension bridge was added to the viaduct for an extra $5 billion. It would sure have been nice if that money had been spent on a couple of additional bridges across the bay. One from the 101/380 to the 880 near the Oakland airport would sure help the traffic problems some. With interest rates near zero, I'm sure the finances for a toll bridge would work out. Just need the political will.
One of the marriages was in a traditional culture (where I have family roots; not _entirely_ what you've got in mind), so I'm the first to say that's not a magic solution. But at least the problem there was framed more explicitly and recognised for what it was. Here in America, it gets lost in a fog of individualistic "nonjudgmental" received truth.
That is the nature of the beast except for retropiling. Method handles may be a hard set of features to implement on that path.

A huge step backward from WP's actual design in multiple ways. First is the loading time/animation. No informational website should need so much time to load, nor should it have an animation to cover up that fact.

My first experience with Rails was inheriting a rails 2.3 application. It was never ported to 3.x, and limped along for a good 4 years in maintenance mode before being replaced by a Java app.

But sure, upgrading apps from 3.x up through current is pretty trivial.

Quite good? Keil's compiler is horrible. It produces large (2x too big) slow (2-4x too slow) binaries.
I don't think the US constitution would allow for that tax, written that way anyway.

To pass a court challenge, the laws as written and the discussions around them have to apply to everyone otherwise it would be too discriminatory (5th amendment equal liberty clause, & 14th amendment equal protection clause). Maybe you could write it as all homebuyers in that jurisdiction being subject to the tax, and then its tiered for certain variables.

I agree. If anything good comes from this administration, it'll be that important work will be less vulnerable to the whims of politicians. That's why I've donated to NGOs that replace the things Trump is killing.

Unfortunately, in the case of climate, we'll never be able to compensate for the dismantling of the EPA. NGOs can't regulate.
I read both articles and don't understand why wikipedia would ever have to sell. Would they really go bankrupt before putting in ads on the sidebar? I'm sure they understand the only reason another company would buy them is to monetize and they have the potential to very easily do that themselves (even though it's against their values). The only way I see wikipedia's downfall is if they make a lot of "unethical" choices over and over (e.g. allowing companies exclusive access to their articles, paid removal of articles, banning users because their articles don't reflect paid advertisers' ideas, etc)
I tried to have a good and not expensive approach on that. So in my opinion i have a quite conservative setting.

I have a raspberry pi 3 with osmc installed via noobs at startup. Additionally I bought a DVB-S USB Stick (http://sundtek.com/shop/Digital-TV-Sticks/Sundtek-SkyTV-Ulti...) for germany. A standard TV is connected via HDMI. I use a KODI android app as a remote control.

Additionally I have bought 1 TB NAS on ebay in the cellar which is connected via network cable to the wifi router.

Without TV I had total cost of approximately 300 €

I have connected all music services (soundcloud, etc), all mediathek services of german and austria television providers. Also youtube and vimeo. Everything works great and was extremely low cost, i would say.
And last week I heard that story but the difference was that the images of the NATO tanks were in perfect focus while the Soviet tanks were out of focus in the training images. Clearly this story is all over the place. I wonder if even the likely source is correct. https://www.webofstories.com/play/marvin.minsky/122
A bit of both.

They say that with the model depicted in Fig 1, based on Spitzer/GLIMPSE surveys [1], nine of eleven extinction events which they identify (the six "canonical" ones plus five other significant drops in marine biodiversity, Section 2.2) occurred while the solar system was passing through a spiral arm (Section 3).

They then point out that it's easy enough to modify the model to fit all eleven events: we can't see what's on the other side of the galaxy, so we can hypothesize a "spur" there, similar to the Orion spur on our side, with some support for that idea coming from the symmetry of other galaxies.

But even without such modifications, nine out of eleven is not bad. Spiral arms need not necessarily explain every single one of them.

You know what they say, possession is 9/10 tenths of the law!

Besides, it is kind of difficult to decide who really owns any land when you look back through the long and complicated history of just about any modern country. Who should own Argentina? It used force to separate itself from Spain, so should Spain still have a claim over it? Should they demand it back again? How did Spain get it in the first place? By conquering the place, which means it was stolen from the natives. Should the descendants of the natives claim it back? But then the natives no doubt were made up of tribes/groups that used force to change ownership. So are you going to work that out backwards to the first tribe to arrive in the area many thousands of years ago? Where do you draw the line? Given the complexity you pretty much end up with the fairest method being to ask the actual inhabitants who they want to govern them. They said they want the British.
