> But yet the same pro-life people who want to save every child's life don't seem nearly so sympathetic to mothers, even mothers that want to have healthy children.

You seem to be viewing all these problems through a political and government lens. I feel it's a leap in logic to say "if someone doesn't support progressive policies then they don't care about mothers, families, and born lives".

One example, there are too many to list exhaustively, is in the recent refugee crisis. An evangelical charity supported by lots of red-staters was in there doing what it could (1).

On a personal level, the churches I've been part of do attack poverty and justice issues on many fronts. There are women's shelters, several programs for the homeless, food banks, free health care clinics, job placement programs, financial education programs, sponsorship of impoverished third-world children, sponsorship of impoverished third-world villages, and so on. There is also a fund for helping church members (some of whom come from local shelters or are otherwise poor) pay bills as needed. And there are innumerable education, mentoring, and counseling programs offered to help families be emotionally and spiritually healthy, partly to avoid the need for programs for people with broken homes and so on.

I am not afraid that I don't care about mothers just because Planned Parenthood is not on the list. Modulo big mistakes in the implementation (1), I am fine with SNAP, WIC, etc. when they're used to help poor families. I don't know any pro-life people who feel a burning need to cut these things.

And, as a side note, it's really a bad idea to keep bringing up Planned Parenthood as being pro-mother. From time to time we have friends with money problems that need pregnancy care. We contacted the local Planned Parenthood asking about their offerings, only to find that they offer none, really. Not even referrals. They more or less said they do abortions and birth control and do not offer programs for women who are planning an actual pregnancy. A local pro-life pregnancy center also did not offer anything in house, but did refer us to some pro-life shelters and programs that would help out with prenatal care.

2) I'd rather just move to minimum income, set it to a healthy level, and stop conflicting over funding levels of each of the multitude of entitlement programs. Poor people are hurt (or at least helped a lot less) by doing indirect charity through price fixing, corporate charity, etc. For example, do you know what might help with the homeless problem? Cheaper homes. But we insist on propping up housing prices, subsidizing sprawling McMansion-ridden suburbs, setting up people in unaffordable homes saying it's an investment, etc.

Yeah, you need to balance "not the tools ceremony around it" and "find the best tool for the job". Neither extremum is particularly useful, I'd say.

This tradition originates from shamanic times in Asia. According to belief, emperors were shadows of the god (which is sky) and some respect(!) was needed when an emperor was murdered. The very same tradition can be also seen in Mongols. See the death of Jamukha: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamukha

Yes of course. What are you not sure about?
A bug might be as simple as a single character fix on a printed string, or as complex as performance isn't as good as we expected, so profile and rewrite parts of the entire application to get acceptable performance. Both count as a single unit in your "bugs fixed" metric.
Or do we have meetings to play poker and assign points for bugs?

Unless you're fixing tens of thousands of bugs I don't think you're going to have a good sample size to judge the output of 2 people based on just how many bugs they've closed.

This can also be gamed ie. pick up easier bugs to appear more productive, open bugs for small issues you notice yourself and fix, and this has the byproduct that real work never gets done.

Rewrites, infrastructure, code reviewers, mentoring. No earned dollars, no "features" shipped, good luck measuring "saved engineering hours".

There are no objective measures of productivity in the majority of cases for tech workers.
I think you may have some model numbers and/or benchmark numbers mixed up. I don't see the 6700K or 6700T in the charts in this Ars article.

I see a 7600K with the 637 score, but that lacks hyperthreading and has 25% less L3 cache compared to the 6700T, so it makes sense that the 17% frequency advantage is mostly balanced out (there's little IPC difference between Kaby Lake and Skylake).

You don't have notebookcheck's numbers matched up with the right CPUs either:
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmark-Li...

To be fair, Ars has the i5-7600K listed as an i7, and Notebookcheck has the cache sizes wrong: http://ark.intel.com/compare/88200,97129,97144,88195

So there is plenty of confusion to go around.

Edit: Actually the frequency difference may be a bit off from 17%, that was based off the max single core turbo frequencies. I don't know what the all core turbos are.
> What sucks about open source these days is that companies keep reinventing the wheel with their own branding instead of helping improve the wheel that already exists.

While that might be true in other contexts, the tools Oracle has been working on all work with the OCI standards. I actually completely disagree with creating a monoculture around a standard (that's how you get OpenSSL), and the whole reason why I contribute to the OCI standard is specifically so companies are free to create their own thing as long as users have the freedom to change between implementations (or write their own).

The situation right now is better than it was 3 years ago before the OCI existed and everyone was trying to make Docker fit their own usecases and needs.

> I really don't buy it that Go is a poor choice but that Rust isn't.

Take it from me [I'm a maintainer of runc], they're right. I would actually put it in far stronger terms than TFA, but Go has many problems that Rust does not. On the other hand, C/C++ have many problems that Go does not (which is why they went with Rust -- and I applaud them for it).

> These days Oracle is synonymous with vendor lock-in which is the antithesis of open source.

OCI is an open standard, anyone can contribute. Literally the precise opposite of vendor lock-in. I don't like Oracle either, but bashing them when they do something good is not helping.
Sorry to be pedantic, but it is important: fetuses or embryos are aborted, they are not babies until they are born.
Can you not pick your preferred institution for giving birth? For our first child, we deliberately chose a hospital with a special children's unit attached, just in case (admittedly, we didn't think about special risks for the mother).

Meanwhile, other people campaign for giving birth at home, which seems crazy to me...

UBI is such a crock of BS. It was genius marketing naming it "Universal Basic Income" because it is anything but "universal". UBI is basically all of our current social spending thrown in a huge pot, multiplied by some factor, and doled out without any earmarks on how you can spend it (sure, maybe it is written as some type of negative tax bracket but the end result is basically the same). The more income you report, the less "universal basic income" you receive, while your taxes will skyrocket to pay for all of the new UBI spending. And the more people who decide to opt out of the workforce to pursue their passion projects, the higher those taxes on the working middle class will become. I guarantee Zuckerberg and his ilk will find loopholes to avoid paying a proportional UBI tax to their net worth. Once UBI is really exposed as the huge middle class tax it is, it will go down in political flames.
Great point. Responding to feedback from the ‘wrong’ customers kills so many products/startups.

This is the point of methodologies and techniques like Customer Development, Ideal Customer Profiles, and good ol’ fashioned business modeling.

Docker didn't have much of a choice. At the time they had two options: C/C++ or Go (Rust wasn't usable at). They went with the right choice at the time, Go. Unfortunately nobody really knew about all of the pitfalls of Go (there are many upsides, but writing a container runtime in Go is definitely not one of them).

Right now, I would definitely recommend people write things like this in Rust. In fact I was planning on working on something similar. :P

Ok so apparently my attempt to offer an alternative pov for people who I believed did not grasp the original, is getting me some downvotes. Let me just link to what she has said about meritocracy in the context of her Code of Conduct:

http://contributor-covenant.org/

"Marginalized people also suffer some of the unintended consequences of dogmatic insistence on meritocratic principles of governance. Studies have shown that organizational cultures that value meritocracy often result in greater inequality. People with "merit" are often excused for their bad behavior in public spaces based on the value of their technical contributions. Meritocracy also naively assumes a level playing field, in which everyone has access to the same resources, free time, and common life experiences to draw upon. These factors and more make contributing to open source a daunting prospect for many people, especially women and other underrepresented people. (For more critical analysis of meritocracy, refer to this entry on the Geek Feminism wiki.)

An easy way to begin addressing this problem is to be overt in our openness, welcoming all people to contribute, and pledging in return to value them as human beings and to foster an atmosphere of kindness, cooperation, and understanding."

AFAIK the word "merit" doesn't appear at all in the actual Code of Conduct.
The ≤10-core stuff was planned already, yes, aside from perhaps the pricing.

But it's the new, very-high-core-count CPUs Intel hastily announced with no real details and without even warning their partners first that look like a reaction to Ryzen, specifically Threadripper.

Those CPUs might be a problem for Intel. They can only make so many high-core-count Xeons and now some of the best chips will be headed to the HEDT market rather than servers. Also, thrusting chips with almost twice as many cores as originally planned onto motherboards which aren't designed for them and which already have seen overheating problems might not end well.
You can sell transfer. It's the content provider that pays for the bandwidth, so it doesn't matter if it's free for the end user, as long as you can keep the marginal cost low enough for scale.
You forgot one very important factor, Active Population Ratio

GDP = Population * Active Population Ratio * Productivity

If the population ages too quickly, the active population rate can go down very fast...
We've had production issues where Go's memory model will cause programs such as dockerd to crash due to overzealous memory over-commitment (Go doesn't actually free memory they use MADV_DONTNEED). There are definitely problems with Go that go outside of "stateful namespace syscalls".

Exactly - consciousness is clearly an emergent phenomena of these kinds (and possibly other kinds) of interactions in your brain due to the large scale.

In order to reason about the emergent phenomena, you have to "zoom out" - look at bigger pieces, not the individual atoms or neurons.

The tricky part here is that it seems that there is no particular reason for the bigger pieces to be separated into easy to reason about "modules". It could of course be the case, but I don't really see the evolutionary advantage between a "mess of wires" that works well enough and a system that is modularised.

So, if the brain is a modularised system, then there is hope of understanding it, as you can understand a computer that another commenter mentioned as well.

But, if not, then it might be the case that indeed a human brain will not be able to understand it by itself. If there is an underlying structure that's just intermixed with the other parts, then perhaps with the help of computers we can separate them logically.

There is of course the possibility that modularisation is simply not possible, because of (almost) full connectedness and interactions. Mr Penrose for example suggests the case of quantum entanglement leading to consciousness and if that really is the case, then there is essentially no way to "understand" why a certain decision was reached by the brain.
The first thing that came to my mind is you could use Yahoo!Pipes for this. The second was "oh!".
I personally prefer MetaScript [1] as it's comment based so JavaScript highlighters/linters don't have issues with it.

It is also essentially JavaScript so no special syntax had to be learned.

The Apache-2.0 patent clause inspired the GPLv3 patent clause (previously Apache-2.0 was incompatible with GPLv2 because GPLv2 didn't have a patent clause).
Food is highly sensitive to cultural and social context. Even with deep-fried fruits, the part that stuck with you the most was the "kitsch" rather than the flavor, texture, aroma, size, cost, or any other objective fact about the food item.

Yes, otherwise targeted programs are cheaper and can be comparatively effective if administered well.
> have every compiler support all versions of the language

If having an interface that looks like the compiler do this, I am fine with it, but a single codebase ... not so sure. Large systems collapse under their own weight, having to support all versions when the current-4 already supports it seems kinda ridiculous.
I have a ton of half watched shows that I keep queued for when I'm in the mood, which is usually in the winter. So it works fine for me. It's a reminder of "oh yeah I was watching that before vacation".

Very informative indeed. Minor nitpick- one should avoid the use of strcpy() - something that (believe it or not) Microsoft outlawed within any code that they wrote which reduced the number of buffer overflows drastically.
I didn't think there were majors that wouldn't teach you critical thinking.

I prefer TypeScript. It comes down to two major issues:

1. Tooling; TypeScript's tooling (especially in VS/VSCode) is vastly superior to Flow's tooling. It's easy to think of type systems only as things that prevent bugs, but type systems also give your editor a lot of information that can make development easier. Nuclide has some flowtype integration, but nothing close to what VS/VSCode does with type information.

2. Design and syntax. Flow is an add-on to a language, and TypeScript is a language - and it shows. TypeScript is easier to write, easier to read, and doesn't require as many workarounds and hacks, in my experience.
...and it's not really that absurd, even, compared to eating out or throwing away spoiled groceries because you bought too much or didn't get around to cooking it.

You can, and many people do, eat much more cheaply, but many people don't for various reasons.
Yup, I think an article needs to get over a certain threshold before it even stands a chance to collect lots of points. Having a couple of early upvotes helps an article get over that first hump.
Just to clarify (and pile on more pedantry?): it's a JS feature that is also implemented by TS, so while you're correct that it's not a TS feature, it's also not particular to Babel.

In fact, sometimes I like to use TS because it allows me to skip the Babel part of the process entirely.

I use http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtest-overview.html , mostly because my code is Qt based.

Qt is like boost, a all in one solution. With it I have network framework, threading framework, testing, json parser and lots of things. I want to keep my projects' dependencies as few as possible. If Qt can do it, I won't include another.

I had some frustration before when installing Caffe deep learning framework, which includes many google libraries, including gtest, protobuf and glog. I want my projects' dependencies to be clean and easy to install.

Do you work at a big company? If you do, take a look at your last review, comparing when you received it to the period it technically applies to.

In my experience, both as a manager and an individual contributor, the periods will be offset by 2-4 months. The delivery of the review, while it feels like the start of something to the recipient, is the end of what's often a long and stressful period of planning, writing, and distributing reviews that lead to raises, bonuses, and promotions.

So nothing seems odd about that timeline to me, unless her manager failed to explain "this is a review that applies to the period before you made marked improvement".
I do not immediately see the difference between (2) and (3). In what way supports a government a currency ? A government controls more or less the quantity but in the end a currency's value is just supply and demand. If the public does not trust a currency anymore then it looses its value. E.g. its also a community agreed value ?
It's in the name - HBM increases bandwidth. It does reduce latency a bit (since the electrical path is shorter), but the bigger and more fundamental latencies (row and columns) have not changed in many many years and are unlikely to. (It'd be possible to make them lower by proportionally higher power use and lower density, a trade-off which no one seems to be willing to make).
Indeed. But then I end up looking at things I would never have searched for. Today I was looking for a UV sensor module and searched for "8511", a portion of the part number for a commong one. First 4 results were UV sensors. Next one was " Women Police Costume Uniform Secductive Role Play Sexy Lingerie Sex Outfit Babydoll Fancy Halloween Costume Sexy Cop Outfit", followed by "Synthetic Druzy Mineral Stone Double Flared Saddle Ear Gauge Wood Flesh Tunnel Plug Piercing Body Jewelry Expanders". To be fair, I should have included "uv sensor" in my search phrase. But then I would have missed that cop outfit.

Study the idioms of whatever language you are using. If you're writing production code, consistency is everything. Don't write anything surprising or clever - you'll just paint yourself into a corner later, and it'll be impossible to maintain. Boring code is good code.

Take error handling really seriously. A program that can gracefully reject input with a detailed error message is far better than one that crashes mysteriously
