I agree finding a bug is part of the development lifecycle. Having the developer just close the bug and claim its not an issue is the worrisome part. When the next bug is found there is less reason to report it.
IMO salary secrecy is a weird fetish and probably counter productive.

If the differences between employee salaries are not economically defensible then they should not exist.

If employees cannot accept the way that their employers have measured their relative value then they should get a different job.
Media is a misnomer. Facebook and most new sources are advertising companies.
He's right that the formatting is bad and Latex's is better. The italicized parens are just bizarre. But math stuff rendered by Latex also usually looks "ugly" to me, I'm not sure why. Maybe the typeface or something.
Not just these days - even before streaming got big. Most artists have always made pennies from sales and most of their money from tours and merch not to mention other unfavorable conditions imposed by record labels. Even the huge EDM artists and rappers make most of their money from charging 6 figures a show, not from record sales.

I would argue that now is a better time than ever to be a musician given that with the internet, a record label is not strictly necessary and you can market and sell merch to a massive audience and make money with just an internet connection.

How do products like Delphi have sustainability (maintainability ?) issues ? Delphi/Object Pascal is statically-typed, so you can't even build an application that has issues with the code-behind for a form.

You can see errors at run-time from mismatches between the code-behind and the forms, but this has nothing to do with the language. It's just the way that certain products like Delphi decided to handle such mismatches. You'll see these types of issues with any code that performs run-time serialization/deserialization of class instances. Our product, Elevate Web Builder, uses a similar architecture with its WYSIWYG form designer/forms (they use JSON instead of a custom key-value format), but it simply ignores properties in forms that don't exist in the actual code.
I see no reason not to hound out bad people from the developer community. It is a legitimate reaction to people whose offence goes far beyond writing bad software.

1) while being adult men in their prime, they spare no time running coordinated trolling campaigns not unlike people from places like 4chan. This is sick; 2) They attempt to outshout and bury valid criticism online and offline, responding with ad hominem attacks to very correct, purely technical articles; 3) Purposefully derailing conversations pointing to all aforementioned; 4) Aggressive advocacy - leveraging their their network of influence to sabotage 3rd party software by intentionally breaking compatibility.

I have no different words other than "waging war" for what SystemD and RedHat do to Linux development community

They didn't run any experiments. They only have some a theoretical model and simulations in the computer.

The main part of the article, that says that the momentum of the light is split in the photon and in the density wave looks good. (It almost looks obvious, but it's not my expertise area https://xkcd.com/793/ .)

The relation with the Hubble constant is totally unexpected. It is not in the abstract of the peer review article. (I can't read the full text.) So it's probably only a declaration for the press release. Take it with a grain of salt.

Mine(Ubuntu) differs:

It is usually recommended to only use usernames that begin with a lower case letter or an underscore, followed by lower case letters, digits, underscores, or
dashes. They can end with a dollar sign. In regular expression terms: [a-z_][a-z0-9_-]*[$]?

On Debian, the only constraints are that usernames must neither start with a dash ('-') nor plus ('+') nor tilde ('~') nor contain a colon (':'), a comma (','),
or a whitespace (space: ' ', end of line: '\n', tabulation: '\t', etc.). Note that using a slash ('/') may break the default algorithm for the definition of the
user's home directory.
I would argue that internet was not a clearly superior alternative. Let's just take one simple example:the minitel network had solved the problem of income for site provider, no need for a broken business model based on invading user privacy and collecting as much data as possible.

Simply not true, my Linux desktops have an uptime (system and desktop processes) of weeks to months. I've never seen a single Linux distro "ship with watchdogs" perhaps you can provide more details about what you mean.
First of all legwork for GST was done by previous UPA government. Modi to his credit has done the diplomatic work to get states ratify the same. And give where credit is due - It is the states with 2/3rd votes in the GST council that did the final negotiations and got GST a success and made uniform tax across the country a reality. The IT infra is woefully inadequate - I expect the pain to last at least 2 years till adequate infra is created by govt and enterprises and till then manual accountants would have huge job opportunity. In the short term we will see a marginal contraction of the economy due to high compliance costs and readjustments in the value chains.

In a way GST will also pave way for higher tax sharing between centre and states and shall strengthen federalism - income tax sharing is the next in line. And slowly India shall become a union of states as it should have been.

Yes it's bad.

It doesn't really matter if it's "usual" or not, that's a different question.

Most industries consolidate into large behemoths that are incredibly inefficient and only stay in business due to patents and buying up all the resources (e.g. cell-phone companies, comcast, certain chip-makers). Innovation dies.

And you're right, it's happening right now with youtube defeating the these corporations, and that's good. But if one of these companies somehow bought youtube from google, that'd be bad, because consolidation (especially around distribution of information) is typically bad.
I also found that interesting. i had to reread the chsrt to be sute, because my bias was that older women would find it more innappriate. I have two hypotheses about what's driving that:

1. Harrasment is more well-known now, and less tolerated
2. The call-out culture today doesn't actually prepare people to interact with members of the opposite sex as adults.

I believe (2) is more likely to be true. What I mean by two is that, with young people being encouraged to "call out" any interaction they might find slightly uncomfortable, they develop a sense of fear and wariness around cross-sex interactions, and can't manage their feelings of attraction.

Hopefully they'll relax immigration requirements? Maybe from Southeast Asia and the Phillipines? They're very used to working in the hospitality industry, a lot of cruise staff are Filipinos for example.
The third possibility is men aren't sexually attracted to older women.
The issue, unfortunately, is that if I were to generate a video of Mike Pence doing something X-rated with another man, there's no conceivable way the scientific method would help. I mean, if he were a closeted homosexual, would you really immediately discount it as faked just because the evidence was against it? That happens to conservative American politicians all the time.

Worse, the current president has set a new bar for saying outlandish things. Every time he opens his mouth I am literally shocked into silence. The number of things I genuinely cannot imagine him saying is shrinking rapidly. If you were to see a video of Trump walking up to a podium like Obama did when he announced Bin Landen's death and saying very solemnly that bombs were about to be dropped on Russia, would your first thought be "Preposterous! There's no way the man would do that; it must be a clever hoax."

Not to mention that if this technology becomes exceptionally user-friendly it could be used to destroy lives in myriad ways. Where is your science now?

I don't see how it is pertinent, as space is not "a transparent medium", it is void.
Pretty much all the photons emitted by a star that we can detect cross only the star's gas surrounding, then the emptiness of space, then our atmosphere.
So, it does not vary with the distance of the star, thus the author's argument does not hold (anyway, he was being super-speculative here).
Why is GE on this? They don't own NBC. Should be updated for 2017. It's not 2011 anymore.
It was not obvious that internet was going to win the market, there were barely any home computers in France vs a few millions minitel, there were pretty much no commercial ISP but local non profit ISPs and the national phone operator was raking in huge profit from the minitel and had no incentive to upgrade its inadequate infrastructure.
> But because I take some care in selecting who I talk to in the first place to make sure we're a match before even getting that far.

My strategy and success rates are similar to yours, but I don't think that identifying good matches really explains all of the high response rate. The other piece of the puzzle is that when you go through this process you necessarily do a lot of work learning about the company/position and tailoring your application, and that work shows itself in your application package and your interview. You will stand out from the crowd of people who shotgunned a generic resume and cover letter.
I don't know why you're being downvoted. The anti-immigration stance is a well known problem in Japan, relaxing it in a sane way would definitely solve some of their social services problems.
This can be easily demonstrated false in Scheme. Two continuations which capture the same environment can mutate it and see each other's mutations.

A continuation captures variable bindings similarly to a closure. (It just captures more than just variable bindings and more than just the lexically apparent ones.)

> Is it anything unusual for any other industry?

Isn't that a big problem? Monopolies and oligopolies are crippling capitalism. The "too big to fail" conglomerates become just a part of the political system instead of the economic one.

With the media industry, it gets worse, as it has an important role in keeping the democratic and economic powers in check.

> No doubt the voices behind such "X mega-corps control Y" are in fact just advocating for legislation changes to mandate that they get a seat at the table.

Is not that fair? Shouldn't all parts of society be represented in the industry that consolidates the cultural values of a nation? Why should only economic power have representation in the media? It is one person one vote, not one dollar one vote.
Exactly, this is a self reinforcing feedback loop. I've heard about getting 200 resumes for an open position multiple times. Obviously it varies. Assuming 40 1 hour interviews per week, this would be 5 weeks. Also, your employees aren't working during that time, which can be bad if you have way too much work, right now. So there's a need to filter heavily. Enter filter by keywords, or maybe even discrimination.

while(true) {

1. faced with a large number of resumes, employer become aggressive about filtering.

2. faced with a large number of rejections or not hearing back, employee sends even more resumes.

Isn't "buy American" actually "buy in America something made in China" ? Walmart is such an example.
Maybe because it was extremely low quality. You could put anything in the email field to get on the wifi - it can't be verified because you'd need to give the customer internet for them to access their email...

The associated 'password' is a joke too. It can be reset without any sort of sign-in or verification!

From a male point of view, the risk/benefit ratio of being alone with a woman in a professional setting is quite high. Not surprisingly, people will act to mitigate their risks.
Functions that don't know anything about continuations cannot support the capturing of continuations across them.

A function that has arguments on the stack and really returns and all that will not be happy if it invokes a callback and that callback is actually a continuation of yours that doesn't return. You have stuff on the stack that hasn't been cleaned away.
It could be, it could not be. Context is important.

Dov Charney's record of outrageously inappropriate sexual misconduct is enough for me to write him off at this point unless he undergoes intensive counseling and/or rehabilitation. I have limited confidence in his ability to revive an industry or create a healthy organization considering his age at the time of his offenses. I wish him well, but really hope that he is able to receive help.
FWIW it's way too common in functional languages, Haskell's standard String is a typedef for [Char] (a linked list of Char) hence the proliferation of various other string types.
It should be emphasized that there is clear value in signing up for this case, with no effort at all for the subscriber. OTOH, even for another developer there is the likelihood of at least time investment in a technical newsletter without tangible return.
If it's proven true, though, would that mean the "expanding universe" theory would be disproved as well?
Although you are correct, it is not a stretch to say that Facebook "controls" the media in deciding what to show, and how it is shown.

In this way, you could say that "Facebook Controls [a significant portion] of the Media in America"

Could you elaborate on the perf issues? You mean synthetic tests, right?
I mostly agree with you. I create mindmaps to help me think and or dump my brain around a particular topic. But you could do textual analysis and map a taxonomy or other analysis couldn't you (said by someone that has never done a textual analysis).
The original Turing test had the interlocutors guessing whether the subject was a man or a woman, I think it's an oblique reference to that to suggest disguising the entrepreneur's gender would make things fairer.
That's what I wanted to point out, classified had much more traction than minitel to swap disks.

I think you'd have to agree on this. A corporation's main revenue stream is their business regardless of how diversified they are.

So Google is a search-driven advertising company.

Facebook is a social-networking-driven advertising company.

This all depends on what % of revenue is ad-based.

The other tech giants, Apple and Microsoft (Oracle, Samsung, SAP, Huawei, …) actually make most of their money selling combos of hardware, software, and services.

Perhaps Amazon is unusual in that it's a web-retailer? I just checked and AWS[0] only accounts for 8% of their revenue as of Feb. of this year.

It looks like we won't have an end to data-slurping until we somehow invalidate the ad revenue model.

I've just recently was approached by 3 recruiters, did one interview (15 minutes over the phone), received two offers (yes, that's right, one offer didn't even require an interview).

Sending 1300 applications and attending 70 interviews feels like a huge waste of time.

EDIT: Also, is sending an application still a thing? Being LinkedIn user for a while I really stopped watching job boards and just rely on offers sent directly to me.
It depends.

For smaller maps, sure. If you've got a bunch of information you're trying to sort out, or are working programmatically, it's nice to have automated tools.
If anyone is looking for a fun side-project, this sort of postal verification could be part of bootstrapping a citizen-controlled national digital identity system. The system would also leverage the official gov election form that checks if you're registered to vote, resurfaced with an API.

This approach has the interesting property that, in order to cheat this unofficial system, you've have to commit either mail fraud (interception) or vote fraud (fake entry in election registry).

Canadian proof-of-concept here: https://github.com/patcon/id.c4nada.ca

Ping me on Twitter if you're interested in working on this in Canada or any other jurisdiction. Would be rad to create an auth system for citizen projects to validate identity/ward/district/state with high assurance. That way, user desires can be passed to reps with reasonable certainty that numbers reflect real voters.

And could start doing fun stuff with encryption keys or keybase integration or things like that ;)

When I see the polarization around health care in the media I find it really scary. That polarization is not a reflection of the citizens, that most want better health care for everyone, but of a few voices paid with a lot of dollars.

This same thing has happened before, like for example in Italy were Berlusconi abused the media to get favorable ratings. It is part of the tyrant-wanna-be cookbook.

Not necessarily. It might be that this effect is real (this was a computational simulation so an experimental verification is needed.) and needs to be accounted when doing cosmology. But it might very well account just a part of the redshift, and the remainder then needs to be accounted by something else, the default explanation being the expanding universe.

Edit: A clarification: I'm not an expert.
Seriously this.

people are getting lynched every week because of stupid cows and Modi's silence condoned that behavior. It was only after coming back from US/Netherlands did he mention anything about it. It's still not acceptable IMO. people should be allowed to eat whatever they want.

For what it's worth, I still have one around here. It makes for a great retro-terminal that can be plugged on a 1200 bauds serial connection. I agree that it isn't the most lightweight solution, but it at least works pretty well, and without hassle.

No; but a single microservice is a smaller code base that a large monolith, so the problem . Also, you normally control the microservice's interface more strictly, and change it less often, and care about compatibility and versioning more, than for a typical internal API.
