The article summarizes his life, and how he got to be a prosecutor at Nuremberg, which is a fascinating read.

The baity title probably refers to this fragment:

Lesley Stahl: Did you meet a lot of people who perpetrated war crimes who would otherwise in your opinion have been just a normal, upstanding citizen?

Benjamin Ferencz: Of course, is my answer. These men would never have been murderers had it not been for the war. These were people who could quote Goethe, who loved Wagner, who were polite--

Lesley Stahl: What turns a man into a savage beast like that?

Benjamin Ferencz: He's not a savage. He's an intelligent, patriotic human being.

Lesley Stahl: He's a savage when he does the murder though.

Benjamin Ferencz: No. He's a patriotic human being acting in the interest of his country, in his mind.

Lesley Stahl: You don't think they turn into savages even for the act?

Benjamin Ferencz: Do you think the man who dropped the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima was a savage? Now I will tell you something very profound, which I have learned after many years. War makes murderers out of otherwise decent people. All wars, and all decent people.

So Ferencz has spent the rest of his life trying to deter war and war crimes by establishing an international court – like Nuremberg. He scored a victory when the international criminal court in The Hague was created in 1998. He delivered the closing argument in the court's first case.

Why is this corruption particularly endemic in the US and not in other major western countries?
C# Import data from files
The safe harbor agreement allowing EU citizens' data to be sent to the US was invalidated by the European Court of Justice and hastily replaced by the EU-US privacy shield which is effective since february 2017 and is already under attack and possibly on the way out while trump took a strong stance to not give any privacy to non-US citizens.

Then there is the secret negotiation of TAFTA where the US wants to siphon data without providing privacy and Germany refuses to let TAFTA go on until there are adequate privacy measures.

So yeah, this battle has been an ongoing one for years now.

Oh, this is pretty awesome! I was running into issues updating an old Qt program with QPainter a few days ago, this is super timely.
I think "Shot" meaning spent, ruined, etc.
We haven't "forgotten" how to do anything. We just let ourselves (collectively) become OK with projects that extraordinarily long, slow, and expensive, and the contractors aren't going to be the ones to force positive change in the system.

Interested to hear anecdotal evidence from locals. On one hand there is a large influx of immigration and "unemployment" is a dubiously defined thing. On the other, widespread education and a diversified economy seem to signal strong growth.

Contrast this with America's strong numbers which for me are anecdotally bullshit. Under employment, people dropping out of the workforce who otherwise wouldn't and stagnant wages in most industries
My Dad was a police officer for 41 years and, by chance, he is visiting me. I read him your comments. Based on his 41 years of extremely high level investigative experience (including lead investigator in more sexual assaults than he cares to remember) , you literally don't know what you're talking about. He laughed at your comment and said, "Wow, another asshole armchair investigator with no experience."

First, the DA in the American system is not guaranteed to lose. Rather, unless the alleged perpetrator is extremely wealthy, the DA has a tremendous advantage. This is unbelievably common knowledge and something he picked up working closely with FBI and DEA agents.

Second, when you don't have a cooperative victim, a skilled investigator will investigate why. Often this happens because either the perpetrator made a very graphic threat and/or the victim suffers from post traumatic stress disorder. In this case, a highly skilled investigator would make sure that the victim had access to the best victim services people around.

Further to that, a skilled investigator/prosecutor combination will take steps to shield and protect the victim from an adversarial system. One common method would be to overcharge, announce they're going for a max sentence and plea down to avoid trial, while still guaranteeing a sentence, probation and sex offender registries.

There is your precious answer. Now, take some time to evaluate what kind of heartless asshole calls a victim 'stupid'.
From my perspective infrastructure is politically driven in the US. Projects are debated for decades, over this time changes are made to placate some groups and buy the support from other groups, and create jobs for some politician, until it baloons into something that is many billions of dollars. Then it is built as a one off mega project. At this point it should be killed but this is seen as the only way to get stuff done.

Things like CAHSR instead of agreeing on a goal and deciding we should have a CA-wide rail system, so then establish a division of Caltrans which we fund to incrementally build/acquire/run a network through ROW acquisition, running DMUs on the routes in the mean time, making it compatible with existing systems, etc. instead becomes one giant $60b acquisition that is master planned for a multi decade time frame to be built almost entirely as a stand alone system the benefits of which can't really be enjoyed until decades in the future.

First, please consider whether you actually need any of the Kubernetes stuff. The odds are that you don't. A huge number of people are switching to k8s just because it's the cool thing to do, without understanding any of the implications. Most companies have to undergo major software rearchitectures and renovations to make good use of the featureset that Kubernetes promises.

Second, please don't run a database in it, omg. See point one. If there were just one application that is not reasonable to run in a container, it would be a database.

Third, yes, this seems to be the new way things happen in the software world. I'm worried about what tools we'll need to develop to overcome the cacophony of noise and half-solutions that is incumbent in the GitHub era.
I get that you're being funny, but there's a valid question in there.

Does go not support parallel build jobs? If so then he should be setting the count to six instead.
Yeah, that specific one has the old "all text as image" thing (still big in Asia).

I am arguing against "we have come so far", as I do not find the current web pretty nor pleasant.
How do you mean? You still see everything, what's left to the imagination when something looks worse? It's not like a book where you can add your own details...
this would be a great replacement for email since most of my emails are project/team related. love the site and previews. price is great too.
Maybe. I can see how if you're only looking at "airlines" (eg, Delta, Southwest, American, etc.) then it might seem that way. But I'd argue that that's a somewhat overly narrow view and that there is still price discrimination in terms of people who charter private jets and what-not. And even among consumer airlines, choice is sometimes dictated by other factors like route availability / timing / etc., and that further complicates the picture.
Awesome. Releasing it publicly later this summer!
Well there are only 190 holders.
Far worse: 4 of them hold >50%
From my experience this kind of crony corruption is becoming more endemic in places like New Zealand and Australia. I can't speak for Europe.

I recently stopped using all of my social media, inspired by Cal Newport's Deep Work, and this resonates deeply with me.

At risk of sounding like an out-of-touch baby boomer (I'm 18), I think the portrayed utility of staying connected with people, etc etc, isn't the utility that drives our social media usage anymore. For me at least, the only tangible thing it accomplished in the long run was disrupting my boredom. I found that most of the content I was consuming was the equivalent of reading a magazine in the bathroom; I probably don't give a shit about the contents, but some content (regardless of quality) is preferable to idle boredom.

I've found, after a few weeks of not using it at all, that the times during which I'm bored are more easily spent on things that I'd otherwise ~feel~ too busy for, even if I had the time to do them all along. It's not even that I fill my boredom with productivity; I, kinda abstractly, feel less busy now that I allow myself to idle. It's weirdly made life a lot less stressful even though browsing social media is technically zero-effort.

It's also inspired me to tune out all of the content that relied on a push model to reach me (unsubscribing from certain newsletters, barely any notifications enabled, etc). It gives me a feeling of control to be able to choose when to consume certain content instead of being made to by virtue of notification.
To make a difference in the world? That sounds like a grandiose rationalization used to cover up an abyss underneath it. A sentiment is a poor substitute for purpose and justification, a vacuous idol whose twilight approaches.
Thanks, good catch- its really worth watching the whole thing.
Bureaucrats, allied with progressives and public sector unions, work vigorously to make government as expensive and inefficient as possible. In the United States, they are succeeding very well.

Try out Tiny Core Linux. You can run it on almost anything. It is crazy fast and can boot entirely to RAM. It isn't as full featured as other OSs but it can boot of pretty much anything including floppy disks. If you want something more full featured I would recommend Debian.

When they were on Unity 4, they were using Unity's physics engine - that made the game perform badly for bigger constructions (e.g. large rockets, or space stations), because the physics engine was single-threaded and the game is CPU-bound on physics. After switching to Unity 5, things got better. I haven't been up to date with KSP for the past year, so I don't know if they switched to some other physics engine (though I highly doubt it).

This man at this stage is pretty suspicious that he didn't approach his dream LEGALLY. That is the problem.
Nitpick: www.statushub.com is less obviously related, and therefore won't be attacked in tandem. If they want to go all the way, maybe just something like www.wesellnikesdiscount.com.
Thanks for pointing that out. I see it now. Sorry for the confusion.
Nice concept, but I take a lot of photos so a high chance they could be one of the 'duff' ones or photos I don't really want to share with my office or whoever is using my machine if I only use this at home. Can you filter by folder or some other way of highlighting those you want to share?
Of course - I'm a big advocate of a plain HTML file for static content, and "content first", javascript-free-unless-necessary design.

I don't get to design the pages I visit, though, and the React, background videos, interrupting ads and others are very popular fetishes.
Yeah, I guess once you get to that level with a given brand then it comes more of an issue. I never had enough points with any given property to get enough perks to really make me care. And since the company I worked for took care of all the hotel bookings / payments / etc. anyway, there was no real friction for me to pay for wifi or something when it was needed.

The one place where I do feel some brand loyalty, is actually on the airline side, where I have a strong preference for Southwest. And that was even more true back when I still had elite status with them and got free early-bird boarding. That was something I actually cared about since my company wouldn't pay for early-bird, seat upgrades, and the like.

"Terrible idea" is a rather aggressive way to dismiss hours of someone's work because you don't like the name.
PuTTY's UI is an ass-backward mess (and that's mildly put) and the fact that you're used to put up with it or that there exists five Knuth's arrows worth of guides doesn't change that. In fact the latter is probably a testimony of it all. I've used it for years, know it by heart, still hate it, and am pretty well served by and versed in the unix terminal universe, TY. PuTTY has been useful for sure but that was by scarcity as there was basically no alternative on Windows for a decade or more.
Thanks @arania for your interest. At this time, we have a single menu every week, but with time, as the interest grows, we hope to add more options.

If bureaucracy is the problem, then why only here? European governments are notorious for their large number of civil servants.
It'll be possible for AI to do anything a human can do. However, AI likely won't be created to do certain things that humans like to do that have no economic benefit.

For example, I don't think AI will completely replace parenting for most people because some proportion of parenting is highly enjoyable.
> constantly trying to schedule pods on instances without enough spare memory

I assume you're explicitly declaring the memory requirements for the application?

EDIT: I ask because usually I read examples just throwing deployments at a cluster, ends up the more explicit you are with the app requirements (CPU/mem, etc.) the better a job the scheduler can do. I realize this sounds like advanced common sense.
I didn't say write their own... but how about a proper multithreaded modern engine like Unreal?
"Bureaucrats, allied with conservatives and private business interests, work vigorously to make government as expensive and inefficient as possible. In the United States, they are succeeding very well."

In either instance, it's an absurd and simplistic statement to make.

The poor market penetration of PCIe SSDs and their high price per GB is a strong disincentive for game developers to store data in lightly-compressed formats that require minimal CPU processing to load and use. We might see some improvement in using multiple threads to load game data now that CPU core counts are on the rise at the high end.

What counts as a legit criticism? So much of our field is taste-driven. And so much criticism was aimed at old iterations of something, gets carried on in flamewars, but no longer applies to the latest version (e.g. "Java is slow").

All the JS-the-language criticisms apply, those are probably the biggest at this point. The classic "node.js is cancer" is still somewhat relevant though I never thought it made its point well enough on how forced-asynchronous is at least as bad as the forced OOP and checked exceptions we put up with in e.g. Java again. Callback hell was long a common complaint, until people found Promises / the waterfall structure, but then the complaint is debugging hell. The new await stuff in node 8 sounds nice at least.

For a long time npm didn't get stuff over https by default, I think it does for a year now? The only other criticisms I can think of are just shoddy engineering that turns into drama (I remember seeing something about their colorized output would slow everything down quite a lot) or more taste-level things like how seemingly trivial concepts like leftpad are core libraries (that go through multiple versions because it couldn't have just been done right the first time) and the drama involved when something everyone depends on has an issue.

Disclaimer, I haven't done production node since ~2013. It was actually mostly enjoyable, and I wouldn't mind doing it again, despite on the taste-level I think the whole node ecosystem is just worse than many other options (when you have a choice) for many specific problems. But life is a continuous lesson in Worse is Better.

The bigger question, at least for me, is either high-core machines improve your desktop experience if you're mostly running low-threaded workloads, for example a web browser.

One humble piece of evidence I gathered says that no, more cores make your low-threaded applications run slower because the Linux scheduler keeps placing them onto "cold" cores running on idle frequency, and once they "spin up" the thread gets moved to another cold core.
They sold off tokens which give access to advertising space in their browser, though the Etherium blockchain, and for a set amount of tokens per ETH. So they now own 35M worth of ETH, and a few entities have near-exclusive access to advertising inside Brave (but can also sell those tokens off).
I think he means that the USD is valid currency for all debts, public and private, and this law is enforced by the US gov't.
I got 200-300 pages in twice before finally, on the third try, getting over the hump, after which I couldn't put it down, and in fact re-read it a couple years later. I think the key to enjoying it is thinking of it less as a singular linear story, and more as a large portfolio of short stories, many of which can be assembled more or less linearly to tell a mostly cohesive story (though many of the other stories are peripheral to the main thread). This might sound ridiculous, but DFW was a masterful composer of short stories, and once you adapt to enjoying each little section of IJ on its own terms, the whole becomes much, much more enjoyable. Thrilling, even - I frequently found that the more dull or challenging a given short story was, the more powerfully it ended. There's something almost musical about how he could slowly mount tension (as tedium, or difficulty, or obscurity) to an almost unbearable pitch, only to sublimate it in the end. My .02 anyway. I know many people find other people's enthusiasm for his work annoying, but I'm not totally sure why. They're just stories. There's nothing fundamentally toxic about it.
Which makes zero sense to me because study after study after study has come out and said remote work makes for happier and more productive employees and saves the company money.
Medicare runs much more cheaply than private insurance companies. Since there are examples of where your claim is false suggests to me that you are possibly wrong. Do you have evidence of this conspiracy?

Yes, but entropy means that the universe is not symmetric with respect to time, doesn't it? That is, enqk's statement is in fact a refutation of smilliken's claim. Dismissing it with "Congrats, you've discovered entropy" doesn't answer it at all.
