The idea that this is only an issue of disguised pedestrians is a red herring that should not stop people considering the broader implications of the fragility of vision and other ML systems. When a system does not always function according to its intended purpose, it is sound engineering judgement to consider whether this has implications beyond the specific cases that have been found, and there have been some tragic outcomes when the people in charge found it expedient to not do so. In the case of ML, the principle that systems can generalize appropriately beyond their training sets is central, and anything that raises concerns over the generality of that capability needs to be taken seriously. You can certainly hold the opinion that it will not turn out to be a major problem, but the burden of proof lies with those claiming that the systems (after modification, if necessary) are safe enough, and avoiding the question is the opposite of discharging that burden.
The take() function is equivalent to a bare <- channel read. the poll(time, timeunit) function is equivalent to a select with a case and a read off the done channel of a context with a timeout. The poll() function is equivalent to a select with a case and a default condition.

To get the behavior of a select composed of several channels and no default case I'd have to dig into the exact behavior of the select statement in go, but it could be accomplished with a loop over if/else if/else statement where the else had a thread sleep/thread yield.

I actually wrote a dsl in Scala a few years back that actually used the keyword select for this operation before I'd ever encountered golang. I used "on" instead of case but the behaviors were nearly identical.

Yes and luckily for them, they don't have to additionally suffer from systemic racial discrimination, which the equivalent member of a minority group frequently would have.

Nowhere does it proclaim "If your X your life is hard, if you're Y your life is easy." What is said (roughly) is that for two people otherwise equivalent, if one is X and the other is Y, that in general, in current society life is additionally harder for Xs - and this is due to for historical reasons.

Presumably each "version" was created by you. Version A is your starting point, no new sql scripts executed yet. You might start with a DB backup restore of version A. Create sql scripts to advance to version "B". There's your patch.

If your versions are a straight chronological sequence it's straight forward to advance from any past version to any future version. Run each patch till you arrive at the desired version.

If you branch out in multiple forks it can be a little tricky. I've never had this situation, but I would treat each branch as a separate chronological sequence of patches. Unfortunately merging doesn't work with "patch" style development, so this could be a duplication nightmare. I guess nothing is perfect.

If the customer can make unrestricted modifications to their DB (unknown to you), you're out of luck. Versions are no longer under your control and generating with a diff is the way to go. But in that case the diff seems even more dangerous. Will it destroy their custom modifications?

If the various diversity initiatives were about culture... but they aren't. How culturally diverse is a 50/50 gender split along with a great match to general population racial percentages? I'd say you can't tell. Culture is more than gender and race.
The known universe was 13.7 billion years old until a couple years ago. Either way, we're still talking +/- tens of millions of years with 68% confidence. At 95%, the interval is something closer to a billion years. Unless they've tightened it up since I last read about it when the 13.8 figure came out...
Didn't the Japanese adapt these techniques from China? AFAIK Chinese joineries are very similar, but the Japanese were best able to preserve the culture (no foreign invasion until WW2, no communism).

> I can't remember reading anything in the manifesto which suggested women are less capable as software engineers.

It does suggest this:

Preferences and abilities. If men are in the majority of leadership, senior, and CEO roles, what is the author suggesting about the abilities of women?

How far do you want to take this? Criticizing someones religion might hurt their feelings but greatly benefit the society and democracy. Does it mean that critique of a religion or religious sects should be banned or should we just prohibit the critique or those which proponents are most vocal, intolerant or justifying to literally turn to violence about their religion?

I think that one should be clear here and distinguish between slander/defamation of a person and speech that "hurts someones feelings". If I criticize the ideas that you hold and it hurts your feelings it's is not a mental abuse if you start to interpret it that way it's your fault and should seek the psychiatrist. There is a real danger that we keep redefining words: hateful speech, mental abuse. Ideas are not people, religion is not an ethnicity, your beliefs are not sacred. What is a form of mental abuse btw is indoctrinating your (or someones) children, meaning religious schools are a form of mental abuse, sending your kids to a political party camp or enforcing your particular ideology on them is a form of mental abuse etc. But somehow everyone keeps ignoring it, it's not my kids so why should I care; I regard it as deeply hurtful for society.

PR is a developed country in a developing country neighbourhood. Healthcare is cheaper than the US but some specialties are hard to get an appointment. The neighbours, DR Cuba, FWI, are a cheap ferry or puddle jump away. So for the common ailments, you have neighbouring islands keeping prices in check.

That's a sailor's perspective on PR healthcare. Since I'm not part of their health care system I looked at it as is it worth it here or do I sail 6 hours to DR. Antibiotics there are 50cents.

A bread & bitter is a typical Australian breakfast of stale bread and (when available) an anise liquor.

It's derived from the continental "existentialist breakfast" of a black coffee, cigarette, and Aspirin–but had to be adapted due to the bad availability of commercial products in the past, as well as the higher activity levels the Australian bush requires and the resulting danger of a breakfast completely devoid of calories.
What's your solution?

The issue that was faced is that banks could rightfully claim that they had no duty to verify identity and/or the legal status of funds they accepted on deposit. This led to all sorts of shenanigans like fraud, money laundering, and outright theft.

the KYC regulations are a compromise between having the government know EVERYTHING about your financial life. With KYC, it's the bank's duty to know at least a few things about you and your money to make it harder to use the financial system to conduct criminal activity.

I know a lot of folks like to believe in the libertarian paradise where no government can ever exercise power over you and each man is a sovereign unto themselves but the truth is that a true libertarian community wouldn't be someplace anyone wants to live.

Another way of saying essentially the same thing: both parties believe that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." However, for us, the extraordinary claim is that software is secure; whereas, for them, the extraordinary claim is that the software for which they have paid so much money can somehow be insecure.

I guess what I meant by "use what fits your brain" is more along the lines of, "try a bunch of languages first, then use the one you like most". Without experimenting, you'll most likely be lulled into thinking your first language is the one that fits your brain best. I would disagree with the notion that a language fits one's brain after you've picked it up. I really don't like javascript, for instance, and I've used it quite a bit.
The GNOME Editor is hardly a good place from which to cast such criticism, though. Gedit pulls in a whole load of entire external Desktop Bus services in order to work, and indeed a second Desktop Bus, not only some shared libraries inside the editor process. Moreover, that editor process isn't the one that one might naïvely think it to be.

Here in Lithuania most older buildings have the same, but newer buildings typically just have garbage rooms in the basement.

Justin Bieber Remake Become Social Media Influence
This remix of the made it’s mark by reaching over 2.6 billion views making him the most sought after Canada based artist.

The remix of the song features CJ Stain of the original version “Cold Water” beat, and quickly rose in popularity to become one of the most viewed videos related to the original “Cold Water” video on YouTube.

Vibe Music Group it claims that it did not copyright infringe on the rights of the labels in involved Major Laser, Justin Bieber or MØ because this proprietary information was leaked

However, the success of this video would be short lived. CJ Stain’s label was forced to remove the video from, because it was a breach of his personal property. CJ The version of the song uploaded to YouTube is only 42 seconds long, and doesn’t have an official music video. CJ Stain and his label have requested that the video be removed, despite its success – in preparation for the release of the fully-authorized music video and remix, to be released later this year.
Cold Water remix has the promising prospect to become a true cultural movement influencing and changing social narratives for a more cohesive society for those around word Canada and North America.

I mean that's just silly. I'll assume you write everything in one-liners, right, since for some reason you find it important to minimise the arbitrary measure of lines of code?

I think you're right about what hiring typically is, but you transition to accepting it as correct too easily. The evidence for interviewing suggests that IQ testing, work product testing, and structured interviewing are the most effective techniques for identifying high performers. While of course nothing is truly 100% objective, those are certainly more objective than relying on excitement or gut feeling.
> ...and we have a concrete theory of causation. With the biological explanation there is no theory of causation.

Even if your description of the situation is accurate, just because there's a theory on one side and none on the other does not remotely imply that theory is automatically correct and should be acted upon.

Agreed. It is surprisingly hard to lose some of the assumptions spinning rust has left us with. Treating this as a log-structured 'soup', I think, opens up interesting possibilities.

Interop is vital, though. I'm less concerned with being able to pull and seat a drive between machines[1] than sensible replication/backup, and a 'send/receive' type-thing shouldn't be too big of a deal.

They don't operate with a criminal court's standard of evidence and the punishment meted out is not criminal punishment.

The accuser is free to go to the police in addition to the school's administration, if they chose not to it would be wrong for others to do so.

Say you had some friends over including someone you don't know well and a while later you discovered something valuable was missing. You think that person may have taken it because you don't know them well and they had the opportunity, would you not hesitate invite them over because you have no evidence? "Innocent until proven guilty" is a cornerstone of our criminal legal system but not every judgement can, or should, be based on the same standard.

I'm not comfortable with the position school administrations are put in but recognize that often times it's better than counting on the criminal justice system in a timely fashion.
And this is what happens when all we care about is if a person can balance a b-tree from memory in a job interview.
