It blows my mind that so much effort has put into things like functions taking functions as arguments, and the characteristics of classes - yet a computer can't handle basic calculator math out of the box. PHP, Ruby, Swift, OCaml.. what gives?

Heh I tried that a few times, but I found that many of them have devolved into hopelessly contrived abominations of true security issues. Fun games to be sure, but of trivial usefulness for actually building up skills I think.

Don't understand why this was flagged/killed. Just because it's about porn? It's a bit long but I'd say it meets all the quality standards and does bear some relevance.

Pornhub collects and analyzes a staggering amount of user data — some of which it uses, like those other companies, to help curate content and determine what a user sees. Pornhub also publicizes some of its anonymized findings on the company’s data-analytics blog, Pornhub Insights.

So can you do the ground work and show that a position like opposition to same sex marriage is actually frequently and casually labeled as extreme?

(I can think of lots of other invectives that people apply to it, I'm just not sure that it particularly gets treated as a non mainstream view...)

I also disagree with the point in principle. We even have a word for it when a majority gets on the wrong side of rational (and goes to extremes), a mob.

> Could you explain how you get around the knowledge silo problem?

IMHO, you can't. Imagine either extreme. In one case, everything is so well documented and test, and every developer has all of the necessary domain knowledge for every problem. In the other case, everyone is hyper specialized, and hasn't the foggiest idea what's happening on the other side of the interface they're calling.

The reality is, some people like small, diverse problems, and want to make small-ish changes over a big codebase. Some people like big, deep, gnarly problems. Furthermore most people vary from week in their productivity and quality.

It's a puzzle. each person is a tile, and you have to cover the whole problem with tiles. As people produce solutions, you have to consider, how much of the codebase could be handled by your most jr developer. Does the code need to be so simple anyone can work on it? Generally, yes, but not universally. There can be some scary parts of the code where, perhaps only half the team can be trusted to mess with it. The thing that sucks, is when you have a scary corner of the code that only one person can handle.

Both extremes suck. Be judicious about how much scary code you're willing to tolerate. All i can really offer is hand wavy advice. I don't have a formula, and i kind of think a formula can't exist, because there are so many constantly changing factors. Time pressure, turnover, inconsistency, changing needs, there's just a ton.

Trying to match people with stuff they like to work on, and not being afraid to pull people back when they start getting a little too clever seems like the best heuristic.
> It was 8 years of a Democratic, fairly liberal president. People like to rebel against whatever is in fashion. The right wing is now "edgy" because it rails against the prevailing political power

I'm 33. From my perspective, the GOP has been steadily gaining power my entire adult life. Obama's election in 2012 seemed mostly a result of the GOP choosing a fairly lame candidate and Obama's own personal charisma.

I'm not sure it makes sense to "rebel against" the faction that has held the House for only 4 of the last 22 years.
It's not the 50-50 split that's bad, it's the part where you don't talk about vesting. I have a friend who confounded a startup with another guy. It started with my friend agreeing to put in $20K and some advice, the other guy working full time, for a 50-50 split. After one year my friend has put in $200k+, worked full time building business, marketing, etc, while the other founder does his own job poorly.

They agree my friend deserves more equity, but can't agree between a 70-30 or 80-20 split, so other founder hires lawyer and holds my friend hostage for a lucrative buyout. Company is now worth significant amount of money almost solely to my friends hard work/investment, but legally he can't move forward until co-founder signs off on every decision.
I'm curious why they didn't go the laser-sintered 3D printed route. For low volume items like these I'd imagine that the cost of the moulds and machining would be prohibitively expensive, and printing would let them try some different designs as they lead up to a Block-5 design freeze.

Not necessarily. There is sufficient precedent to establish that violence is an effective tool for that purpose, when applied in the right way under the right circumstances. Therefore, it can be rational to is violence for political means.

(Not advocating for violence here in any way. Just disputing your "while thinking rationally" point. There's actually a longrunning dispute among leftist theorists and philosophers whether violence is an acceptable means of bringing about political change. But the dispute is only about whether it's morally acceptable.)

>It's fine to write it that way as long as you justify that the steps are equivalent and thereby showing you know what you are doing.

Have you heard of cargo culting? Some students will just learn that writing "by equivalence" sometimes gets them most of the points. Correct proofs don't necessarily indicate understanding. That's not patronizing, it's just true.

But that's really beside the point.

The primary problem with these proofs is not that they are logically wrong. Re-read #2 and #3 above.

These proofs are usually difficult to read and understand, in part but not exclusively because they break with traditional style. And not just mathematical style (#4).

Don't be the guy who complains that he doesn't need to follow style guides or write maintainable code because "my code doesn't have bugs".

I don't want a brain dump of the student's thought process. I want a clear exposition.

Sometimes upside down proofs provide a clear exposition; in #3 I mention these exceptions! But more often, the proof is upside down because the student is narrating their problem solving process instead of communicating a valid argument.

Unreadable code is technical debt.

Unreadable documentation will lose you customers.

Unreadable proofs are wrong.

Developers who write easy-to-understand code and clear documentation are strictly superior, all else equal, to developers who write in an idiosyncratic and difficult-to-follow style.

Math is no different, and one goal of proof-based courses is to teach students how to communicate technical content clearly.

> Don't patronize your students but do write better problems, perhaps.

At this level, the problem is usually just a bog standard statement of a theorem in established mathematical prose.

Some number of students new to proof writing will write upside down proofs regardless of what you ask them to prove.

The wording of the question does not prompt this behavior.
Is this what you mentioned in the comment that Raymond deleted?
Actually more often than not ORMs are going to provide better performance than having people inexperienced with SQL writing it themselves. Especially when it comes to batching, pagination and joins and the intelligent use of in memory caching rather than doing everything in database.

And the biggest advantage of an ORM is that you can trivially switch between databases which is often required for running automated tests. SQLite or H2 for development and then Oracle, SQL Server or Teradata for production is a very common pattern I've seen at many companies.

Here's a HN discussion regarding a Harvard study on the subject, from 7 years ago:

Please provide some evidence that these studies are insignificant and incorrect.
What will be the underlying factors?

+ The move towards more embodied intelligent machines, be it home automation systems, internet of things, autonomous cars, or robots, makes it likely that location is still gonna be important and we will still see hubs indeed. Remote work for software is one thing, for hardware or hybridware it's more difficult.

+ Ten years might not be long from a technical point of view, but this is about people migrating to other places. Population dynamics might not as fast-paced as tech.

+ One thing is inevitable: a financial downtime between now and then. How the Valley will react, depends... It means fewer venture-backed new vultures on the market, a less crazy search for personnel, etc.

+ Economies of scale will always apply. High densities of companies, people, universities, homes, and other entities, will lead to higher and higher productivity. If you really want to compete with the Valley you'll have to work on these metrics as a region. Check https://www.citylab.com/life/2012/12/why-denser-cities-are-s....
Germany has the most PV installed of any European country. Utility scale PV facilities in Germany may reach only 10% capacity factor. But most of the world's present and future electricity demand centers are significantly closer to the equator than Germany is.

"Carbon storage" would normally refer to physically sequestering purified carbon dioxide or other carbon bearing compounds. I agree that storage of that type is not practical.

Enhanced silicate weathering is IMO the process with the best prospects for large scale atmospheric carbon dioxide removal. It is relatively slow but the thermodynamics are favorable and the kinetics are still orders of magnitude faster than waiting for unaided nature to restore the pre-industrial equilibrium. Enhanced weathering CDR just accelerates the kinetics of the natural chemical reaction that turns alkaline silicate rocks and CO2 into silica and alkaline carbonates. Doing it on a scale large enough to make a difference would be a gargantuan undertaking, of course, because the scale of the problem is also gargantuan.
That's probably the big takeaway - "many small towns now have no function"; so they will cease to exist, and the only question is how the society will manage the elimination of these small towns. In times/places where it was efficient to live in small villages, people lived in small villages. In times/places where it was efficient to live in large but separate farms/plantations, people lived in such farms. In times/places where it was efficient to live in towns clustered around largish mines or factories, people lived that way - and when times change, people always had to rearrange, re-settle and migrate to wherever started to make sense.

Wishing for those towns to continue existing is not sufficient if there's no economic reason for them to exist at that place in that form and if spare income of the 'wishers' isn't sufficient to sustain the place as a hobby.

Trying to "save" (i.e., prolong the agony of) these towns may be actually harmful to their inhabitants - since staying there isn't a long term option in any case, and the later they move, the harder it will be with more competition from people moving off of other eliminated towns.

> It blows my mind that so much effort has put into things like functions taking functions as arguments, and the characteristics of classes - yet a computer can't handle basic calculator math out of the box.

Much effort was put into it, but no amount of work allows a computer to violate the laws of math. The fact that computers use binary and have limited memory isn't something that can be hand-waved away.

You're also talking about two totally different types of problems. Classes make programming languages easier to organize (at least theoretically) -- it's easy to change the syntax of a language, but hard to know exactly how it should look to be the easiest to use.

I've never actually seen family values being part of the discussion given most GG adherents trend teenage or older unmarried on KiA (the target male demos of video games).
Perhaps that has something to do with my willingness to punch back.

I've been the subject of quite a lot of unprovoked assaults in my life, Thomas; it's rather disconcerting to have someone that I've had as a guest in my own home tell me to disregard my personal experience of violence.

"Ofer Sharone, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, has studied middle-aged white-collar professionals who have lost their jobs. He found that some men who might have been willing to consider lower-paid jobs in typically feminine fields encountered resistance from their wives, who urged them to keep looking.

“Marriages have more problems when the man is unemployed than the woman,” Professor Sharone said. “What does it mean for a man to take a low-paying job that’s typically associated with women? What kind of price will they pay with their friends, their lives, their wives, compared to unemployment?”
I understand that someone at Microsoft Research once found a bug in the XB360's memory subsystem by model checking a TLA+ spec of it. The story goes that IBM initially refused to believe the bug report. A few weeks later they admitted that such a bug did indeed exist, had been missed by all their testing and would have resulted in system crashes after about 4 hours use.
> It doesn't sound that great, to be honest. None of those tiny institutions could ever reach the same amount of consumer trust that Amazon has engendered with its customer service/experience.

You are paying for that trust.

For instance, right now, Amazon is charging $69.00 for a shoe we sell for $62.25 (including the item we list on their site, including shipping, etc.)

This is universally true for every item Amazon has cut us out on. It defaults to "Ships and Sold from Amazon.com" despite the fact they are the higher price.

Personally, at this point, I'd rather buy from smaller retailers. If you ever look outside of Amazon for "niche" items you'll start to notice Amazon stops being cheaper. Try looking at some of the clothing brands, the Guns&Ammo dystopia is unique to their industry. :P

To be honest, I'm surprised their valuation is what it is given I genuinely don't see how they can raise prices more than they have. Charging an extra 10% over your competitors is really already pushing the envelope as far as can be done.
You can't. Every faction has their own truth. And since people vary so widely, you might need to experiment to find your truth.

Your best bet is do do N=1 experiments on yourself. Find what works, and do that.
If I'm standing in a park with a police officer and an angry activist and I say something that offends the police officer and he hits me to shut me up, he's violated the First Amendment.

Similarly, in that same set of circumstances, if I say something that offends the activist and he hits me to shut me up and the police officer doesn't arrest him, the police officer has also violated the First Amendment.

So, no, I don't think you can flee into definitions of "private parties" versus the "government" to avoid the ACLU's logic here.

The trouble with Windows comes down to new installations of old software on new operating systems. You can't deprecate anything, because some 20-year-old binary might schlep its way onto a customer's Windows 10 box, and they'll expect it to work.

(The real key to fixing this would be layers of frozen-in-time compatibility sandboxes, allowing code written in 1995 to get a 1995-era synthetic environment, while the frameworks of today can forget about 1995. But that means dropping the ability to fix security flaws in any of that old code; or extend it with accessibility-device support that didn't exist back then; etc. The choice is obvious, and yet extremely unpalatable as well.)

The deeper tube cars running on older lines have serious space constraints to deal with that make integration of things like cooling equipment difficult and expensive. We're talking about trains that have comically small proportions relative to what you would see anywhere else in the world.

That said, last I had read, the deep line cars are supposed to get AC sometime within the next decade or so.
Both basic rules still apply, we do eat too much and move too little. Of course, if you wish to optimize the diet for the best results it quickly gets much more complicated then just that. However in my personal, purely anecdotal, experience of being severely obese and dieting for years, you don't really need to get in all these biochemistry peculiarities. It's in dieting what a premature optimization is in programming. Instead of obsessing about a new superior diet it's much better to concentrate one's efforts on a self-discipline and building a reasonable life style.
