The hesitation I'd have with Lisp(s) as an outsider, which ties in to number 3, is that the language itself is compact, elegant and extensible. It's the opposite problem to C++ (the language is too large) - the language is too small and it encourages you to build other languages inside it. So it'd be very hard to share code with others because as soon as you start building abstractions your language and worldview diverges from everyone else's version of lisp - to use a library you have to learn someone else's mini-language. Maybe this is an invented concern though, did you find integrating other libraries a problem?

Did you have any problems with development speed or performance in production or was that fine?
> The Facebook analysis took into account engineers’ “level” within the company and found “no statistically significant difference” between female and male engineers within the same level.

> Parikh attributed the difference that the original analysis found to “the difference in gender distribution between levels”, meaning the fact that Facebook has more female engineers at lower levels than higher levels.

This is a case of damned if you do damned if you don't. If they try to artificially increase gender diversity then this is an expected outcome.

So now we've created more artificial diversity do we have to extend the gender discrimination so that women are treated differently in the code review stage as well?
Can't speak for the rest of the South, but Houston (which you might or might not count as a Southern city) elected an openly gay woman as mayor in 2009 [1]. The current mayor is African-American [2].

Obviously, looking at mayoral demographics is a pretty crude way of judging a city's tolerance, but it is better than extrapolating from news reports, which can hardly give a detailed picture of a region that encompasses a dozen or so states.

Well we should certainly distinguish ourselves by our behavior, eg not imprisoning people without trial or [autocratic stuff]. On the other hand, passively vacuuming up information doesn't actively harm people.

Just for context, I assume all my calls are logged and have been for years, not just in this country. I don't feel bad about this, both because I can understand why securocrats would be curious about me, and out of a basic optimism that this won't be actionable unless there is a security incentive - ie I assume who I talk to an the phone won't be shared with Dept. of Parking Tickets or other civil authorities.

Can't you serve it out of your domain, accessible only with an API key? This is pretty much what all map services do, and is a pretty well established pattern.
That's a good point. I suspect neural nets would be suitable for near-perfect lip syncing animations that aren't too expensive.

We can already synthesize the speech itself to the point it sounds real, although it's very computationally intensive at present. Infusing the speech with emotion remains very difficult. Some day voice actors will probably just license their likeness along with a sample of emotive recordings.

After that, one of the few remaining holy grails is generative dialog for NPCs that's both believable, dynamic in relation to the game world, and don't sound like glorified ELIZA bot output.

Neural nets can probably be used for level design today. One use case might be creating an entire urban environment complete with residential interiors, where the artists don't have to slave over each individual apartment for it to be believable. Imagine playing a war game where the levels look like there's actually people living there.

Yeah it's a challenge if we want to serve the code from a short domain name and prefix compressed strings with the domain name and on the client have the path section automatically decompressed and redirected.

Even a 1 letter host at a 2 letter tld like .co .in .ws .tk introduces 7 or 8 for the scheme, one for the slash, and 4 for the host. So a minimum of 14 to put it on a domain.

I haven't decided whether to put it on a domain or to use a scheme prefix like zurl: our something else.

The other possibility is this if not really about shortest, or Twitter, but more about, transport encoding and an efficient binary format, and something fun.

Thanks for commenting! If you have any ideas how to improve the compression or other things, please submit a PR!
I don't find the presence of married gay or transgender people to be an overt political statement.

On some level it is political of course, but only on the pedantic reductionist level of "everything is a political statement". If you want to go down that route, fine, but I won't be joining you.
They do listen. I believe this is openly on their help pages. They dont store 'raw audio' so must turn this into text or meta data. FB use the information to help identify what you are watching/listening to to help improve your posts... so yeah pretty much going o be used for advertising.

I wonder how many people would remove FB if they knew this. I'm one of the people less bothered by internet advertising (I commented to this about 3 days ago re ad-blocking and cookies) and to me it seems amazing people accept this level of intrusion.

CLIF does recognize explicit template instatiations, and can instantiate a limited set itself. There is no pain like keeping the two files in sync because clif only allows a very small amount of C++ in its sources--basically just type names.

And cliff takes care to error out when the wrapper description doesn't match the C++. "When in doubt, refuse the temptation to guess."

Google doesn't have a generic policy that encompasses all situations where an employee might be discriminated against? What? They do.

The point of calling out this particular law in North Carolina is that this law claims to not be discriminatory, but it actually is. A generic policy requires interpretations.

But to be relevant to this thread, is this "politics" that a company should avoid?
I mean, is it any less ethical than recommending that poor people purchase things in general? The point of advertising is to convince people to make purchasing decisions that they wouldn't have otherwise made, which is almost always damaging financially.

A possible compromise: build "plugins" for Tor that can be downloaded and installed freely, similar to browser extensions. Some of these plugins may include traffic monitoring functionality that blacklists certain types of traffic/known malicious actors, greatly reducing the effectiveness of the network for criminals, if the majority of users choose not to forward their traffic.
Except they work fairly well offline if you choose to store some data offline or in pen drives. Also, latest ones run almost the whole play store which completely changes the game. They can work as better android tablets when offline.
Yes, desktop apps are quite bad at this. Browsers (FF & Chrome) and plugins, dev tools (Atom at least), distro tools etc call home by default. Then there's Steam games, and sandboxed or emulated apps many people run under Linux (like Windows, Android or Chrome web store apps).

There are also popular bona fide proprietary desktop apps on Linux, like Skype, Spotify, etc.

edit: Docker images also come to mind, they're quite black boxes.

Sexism against women is real. Just look at movies. Audiences for blockbuster Hollywood movies are almost completely mixed. But how many leads and stars are male versus female?

And this is movies. This is a fictional world. This is where you can rewrite the rules and depict the world as you would like to show it. But Hollywood still shows more men in lead roles than women.

So the representation of women on screen is not equal to the representation of women in real life. But it could be. And it's not even equal to an ideal representation of women based on equality. But it could be. Because it's a movie you can make it however you want to make it.

With a little luck, in about two months we'll finally get to watch Shazam again.
Last year, a study of coders on the open source repository GitHub found that code written by women was actually more likely to be approved by fellow coders than code written by men – but only if the female coders hid their gender. Female coders with profiles that made their gender “identifiable” had their code rejected more often than male coders.

That study has been so thoroughly debunked at this point that I'm inclined to assume bad faith on the part of any journalist who cites it.

I agree, re-selling mass produced Chinese crap goes directly against the entire concept of Etsy and everything they supposedly stand for.

However they've sold a classic Silicon Valley "high growth" story to investors that they're now beholden to as a publicly traded company. That growth story can't be delivered on grandma's handicrafts.

Hence the site being slowly transformed into yet another generic online marketplace for drop-shipped junk.

It's ultimately a giant recipe for failure. The company DNA and core brand are at odds with the investor expectations around tech companies.

The GenderTrender article has more details (https://gendertrender.wordpress.com/2017/05/02/philosophys-e...). tl; dr: her article analyzes the similarities of the cases of Caitlyn Jenner (transgender) and Rachel Dolezal (transracial, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Dolezal).

I'll just paste the following part:

Heterosexual white female Nora Berenstain of the University of Texas accused Tuvel of being a violent perpetrator:

“Tuvel enacts violence and perpetuates harm in numerous ways throughout her essay. She deadnames a trans woman [Bruce Jenner]. She uses the term “transgenderism.” She talks about “biological sex” and uses phrases like “male genitalia.” She focuses enormously on surgery, which promotes the objectification of trans bodies. She refers to “a male-to- female (mtf) trans individual who could return to male privilege,” promoting the harmful transmisogynistic ideology that trans women have (at some point had) male privilege.”

Words fail me.

BUT: I can't find any language can treat the code is data and the code is data

It was a little joke I'm afraid, because you can't reverse the hash, so you need to store it somewhere. Most of the existing link shorteners are a variant on this idea.

There are RFCs I think about content addressable storage if you're interested in that sort of thing, this is sort of like content addressable addresses if you see what I mean :), and someone else mentioned a distributed hash table, which is an interesting idea.

FF has opt-in to metrics (and I trust Mozilla to honestly anonymize anyway). I wouldn't trust OpenSnitch to stop all the deeply-integrated tracking in Chrome. Atom used to have analytics built-in by default, but they switched it to be opt-in (last I checked).

I could certainly see using OpenSnitch if you let your system get infected with stuff like Steam games, Skype, or Spotify, sure…

Well, I indeed do not believe that patents are actually good, but there's far more merit to the unconvincing arguments that patents can be good than to any arguments that software patents can be good.
