Please don't take this the wrong way.

this is so American

I felt that the commenter was expressing themselves in a way that was particularly unique to Americans.

someone should use it as an academic linguistics example of culture-specific communication!

I believe the example is of such a high quality that it would be useful in an academic context (ie. college/university courses) as an example of communications made within one culture that are unique to that culture versus other cultures speaking the very same language, ie. people born in Scotland or New Zealand would generally never communicate in this way.

The examples list arguably American cultural traits present in the paragraph.

(Edit to explain points: 'psychotherapy' = more prevalent in US culture, 'negative third party social group stereotyping' = ~all those people are <negative-something>, 'pop culture references' = vampires, 'second person framing of self-help advice as casual banter' = grammatical form where "you gotta X", or "you should Y", or "when you X you Y!", 'capitalia' = THIS BIT IS GRATING, 'reformation of compassion in an ego-linked context' = compassion for self, which is fundamentally juxtaposed to traditional not-self usage as linked to eastern meditative traditions (vipassana, etc.) and where increased egocentrism is widely considered a quintessentially American cultural trait).
No, I'm not saying that. The context is startups.

Design aesthetics matter, always. People care about aesthetics. Do you believe Apple is the highest valued company right now because of superior functionality?

If Alan Kay didn't have his credentials, people would dismiss his UI work outright simply based on aesthetics. He's not making "beginner mistakes", he's been at it for a long long time. He either doesn't care enough or he has an impairment to see these issues. Maybe you have that impairment too and therefore refuse my point.
Field Instruments: Build it yourself
Seems to me that, while QM became "understood" in that period, the transistor was only discovered in the last year. All the applications of the transistor came in the latest 70 years.

There's also the discovery of the gene, and space travel. Those haven't transformed daily life as much as the inventions of the previous 70 years, but add in the transistor and it gets close...

The media outrage is because the federal government has failed to clean up a project started ~30 years ago. Every time something bad happens (tunnel collapse, workers speak out when the federal gov't shafts them on health issues) it's like re-opening the wound.

I mean, how many times has Washington sued the federal government over this thing? Two? Three?
Uh, this isn't dynamic dispatch (aka associating a function callsite to its implementation at runtime):

It's just pattern matching and lamdbas. In another language you'd probably do the same thing with a map containing commands as keys and lambdas as values.

My guess is they keep going until donations taper off and they're about to run out of money, then rush out a massively buggy release that disappoints everybody.

The 1980s started an era of crap cars that were junk after 100k miles.

I would qualify that by saying "American compact cars". Japanese cars were fine, and a Chevy Caprice would still give you a few hundred thousand trouble-free miles.

The way I understood it 'FUD' refers to a propaganda tactic that consists of aggressively spreading misinformation in order to spread (as the name suggests) fear, uncertainty, and doubt about your opponents' arguments. The key being that the person seeding the misinformation knows the information to be false or dubious.

Expressing concern isn't even close to the same thing.

Maybe I'm being overly sensitive about this, but I can't help but feel that if 'that's spreading fear / uncertainty / doubt' is considered a valid argument, then it can be used to dismiss anyone expressing concern or questioning something. Which in my opinion should be avoided at all costs.
Well, I was trying to shift the focus to "automated valuation model". That's used in other places and seems to be a term of the art in finance, e.g. this Kansas consumer bill: http://kslegislature.com/li_2016/b2015_16/measures/documents... Hence Zillow probably doesn't qualify, since it doesn't do loans or banking.

But the courts are so random; I'm guessing this case will be determined primarily by how much the judge that gets assigned likes technology. It'll be interesting to follow up on.

KernelMemorySanitizer: detector of uninitialized memory uses in the Linux kernel
Feynman says in Surely You're Joking that he started learning Portuguese because he was attracted to a fellow student, then switched to Spanish because he felt guilty about his motivation, and then had to switch back to Portuguese upon receiving an invitation to teach in Brazil.

In this article he's reported as "saying sometimes he confused Portuguese with Spanish" and the inscription unexpectedly gives an example of that: Feynman has actually written "Portugués", the name of the language in Spanish, rather than the Brazilian norm "português".
See above, the value referred to AUC rather than accuracy.
"x86 bitcode" can be transpiled into "ARM bitcode."

Yes, you could do the same thing with a plain x86-ISA binary, but such a binary might have sections that are very hard to transpile efficiently/effectively—because e.g. they exist as the result of compiling hand-optimized x86 ASM source modules. Targeting bitcode constrains the inputs a bit more, such that the input to the transpiler won't be using extremely-microarchitecture-specific instructions.

And yes, the results wouldn't be 100% efficient. But it would be efficient enough—like Rosetta—to serve as an effective stop-gap to allow ecosystem consumers to continue to consume their purchased apps on new devices, until ecosystem developers upload explicitly re-optimized apps. (And it would—like Rosetta—at least let apps from "dead" development studios run, rather than killing them off entirely.)
I also guess the machine will be built in some form, just that the documents probably don't reflect three-year-old computational capabilities, but might reflect something more like present-day capabilities.

It's the exclusion zones that create a no man's land for decades or more every time there's an accident.

The exclusion zones usually encompass and affect residential areas and water supplies. People who buy houses or own homes in proximity to potential areas of effect take this point of contention very seriously.

Geography and evacuation infrastructure often plays a key role in arguments. From an urban planning perspective, over decades, creeping population density can paint pictures of curious outcomes in the shadow of an incident. Many people have a hard time thinking in these terms.

Yes, people live near active volcanoes too, but even with that, the idea is that you can return maybe a week later, and not deal with an eruption for the rest of your life.

People have an odd calculus for thess kinds of things.
Actually, they are open lands. Even if someone has grazing rights, anyone can go and camp on them, etc.

The point stands. If ranchers feel they are being treated unfairly, they can buy their own land.
True, that was not very constructive, apologies. However, I was comparing your criticism of the previous posters slight exaggeration of the name IClickable with the beauty that is FizzBuzzEnterprise.

Interfaces have many good uses in many situations, but by themselves, with one implementation, is not one of them. (note by themselves. Unit testing, multiple implementations, and so on are reasons beyond in and of themselves). And you can very well do the mental separation by coding without adding an unnecessary interface (unless it has other uses of course).

AF is rarely fatal, although stroke is significantly disabling. Normally (well, I don't have any figure at hand and I'm not about to go and research it at the moment, but I'm using the term in the sense of >50% but <85%) of AF instances come with some sort of symptoms... feeling faint, pounding chest, shortness of breath... good questioning can be fairly diagnostic in the doctors clinic or emergency room. But yes, as the Cardiogram guys point out in their reply to me, and in the source article, a significant number of people have strokes secondary to AF.
You explained all the obvious parts. Now explain what everything in that list means.

Makes sense; the way runtimes use archives as pseudo-loop-mounted-filesystems only requires one level of dereference. A zip file inside that zip file would just be left alone.

A bit different from a "smart" archive tool, or a virus-scanner, which tend to want to recursively unpack things until they run out of archives.
They're plenty smart but they're talking about a different use case.

You don't know what color will be emitted unless you know what light is hitting the surface.

A dark glowing surface and a bright non-glowing surface have the same emissions under white light, but different emissions under other kinds of light. The method you're talking about requires the emissions be precalculated, which means you can't apply lighting at runtime.

Sky lakes OoO window is 224 instructions.

With up to 96 in scheduler. 72 loads, and 56 writes.

224 per core. We're talking concurrency. So a 10core, 20HT server class can have 2240 instructions in flight.

No, that's a good thing. Pushing major updates and new features instead of just patches is what makes users (and IT departments) disable automatic updates.

It's not a reason I originally backed for but I've been increasingly more linux focused so it's something I'd love to see. PCI passthrough with KVM looks to be the solution for now, but it does mean having a chunk of machine resources reserved for windows :(
But NOT being on FB is also a signal. A signal I presume can be detected and noted somewhere. Frankly, I don't think staying off FB is enough. And not being there, should you make the evening news for some strange reason, will mean you're labeled as antisocial, loner, etc.

Companies like Honda who have been known for reliable cars that last well over 150k have been going the other direction with regards to quality. A lot of their parts are made in China not to the standards they were in Japan.

It's hard for me to see what their moat is. Having negotiated enough warehouse partners that retailers can expect to find space and warehousers can expect to get free space filled? That can get imitated with a lot of straightforward work in local geographic areas, and if customers are spending enough money to make it worthwhile, they can make the physical back-end interchangeable.

There's also many buyers that make sense for the company, too. From "make it easier to build a business" things (like Stripe), to "we have a bunch of warehouses and could synergize with usage & market data".

Ive only dabbled in Xamarin briefly before, but I can imagine the numerous ways it could complicate things. If you have ever been deep into Windows Forms or the windows API in general, even native has its own unpleasant experiences, though I cant speak for Apple stuff.

We recently went the hybrid route using Cordova, and while it too had its share of shenanigans, I think it was much faster/better than separate apps.

That is completely insane, I can't believe us taxpayers in Washington State are massively subsidizing these ranchers. Letting them graze their cattle for free on public lands is a huge giveaway, but then to kill part of the environment cause they wanna graze without supervision is a massive wrong.

"Automakers have also turned more heavily to leasing, and longer loans of 72 or 84 months, which keep the customer’s monthly payment affordable."

This is how they will make money. You have to lower credit scores but extend the payment. That justifies the higher price on average.

Still... I guess it is not enough. And the people that take advantage of this at 0% keep the car longer..
IANAL, but what you linked directly contradicts what you stated about ranchers paying for the damage (assuming the case of signed grazing areas). And with that, I'm done with the armchair lawyerin'. May neither of us discover the truth of liability the hard way.
If they can truly bar them from practicing that would be the ultimate win. It would also send a message to new wanna be trolls that life is a troll isn't lalaland.
It seems to exist. Not clear there is a lot of evidence it's relevant. If you sequence a tissue that has cancer or some other disease that causes increased cell division, you will see more somatic variation. Not sure why this is particularly surprising or interesting. It's been known for a while now. If somatic variation was important for brain development or function (like it is in the adaptive immune system), that indeed would be super surprising, but that's not what I'm seeing here.
Well said, but I think you're missing the point. People aren't upset because they paid for something and got a nice experience (or not) out of it. They are upset because they paid for something and they still have not received it.

To use your Casino example, this is like going to that casino and paying for a shrimp appetizer, never receiving it but saying "well at least I got a nice experience and story out of it". People are pissed because they paid for something and still haven't gotten it (at least that's the story I keep hearing).

Having said that; if you believe that a game is about paying for an experience (not a disc or digital license), then you (and a lot of other people) have gotten their money's worth.

I've arrhythmia and I can see it on my Garmin watch by looking at the data, as well as .. my phone.

It doesn't help much though, because I don't know if its good or bad (well, actually I know but not because of the watch data).
Doctors are still needed for this, and generally that includes a bunch of controlled tests and people listening to your heart while also gathering data (similarly to the watch albeit with a more precise apparatus)

I guess it can help to tell people they might wanna see a doctor if they haven't though.
