I love the idea of ref counting, but I'm unsure about the handling of memory cycles. In a plain ref counting implementation, these will not be cleaned up, resulting in a memory leak.

I didn't find anything on cycles in the linked page, maybe the problem is not relevant in most real-world clojure code?
If the question was "would you fight a war to stop some assholes conquer your home?" then I would answer "yes". However, given that there has to be two side to any conflict somebody presumably has to be the "assholes" and that's not something I'd be too happy doing.
That turned dark real quick.
Would you be willing to be part of a pre-emptive attack against a much more prosperous neighbouring country with empire-building aspirations?

How about a pre-emptive attack against a country where populist polls show overwhelming support for invading your country, even if its current administration is against the idea?

How about joining in to defend one neighbour against another, aggressor neighbour—one which you have no personal hatred of, and share much history with—because of treaty obligations?

Would you be willing to fight to defend your country (and your countrymen) if it was being invaded by a country that the UN said was in the right to attack you, because your nation was considered a dictatorship needing to be put down?

Would you support defending yourself in a civil war, to protect your own countrymen from your own countrymen, on political lines you don't care about?

There are a lot more shades of grey than just "a just war against absolute evil" and "a banal war against meaningless change of leadership." This distinction isn't doing its job until it makes you upset to think about it. :)

That's why most people over here in Germany are so wary of the "fight for your country" premise: the first thing that comes to mind is "that's usually bullshit", not a mental image of pillaging hordes. In an actual resist or run situation, I think that those three "unwilling" nations would not fare too badly. People are quite invested in their countries, they just don't buy into the heroic narrative.
Looking at my country I'd say - depending on who's coming you'll get different numbers. Countries with more clearly defined (by history etc) enemy have higher rates. Other factors account as well of course.

> Russia suffered by far the most of any countries on the Western front,

I do not know, Germany had more displaced people => after <= WWII than any other European countries and 500,000 died in the process [0].

Between 1944 and 1948 about 31 million people, were permanently or temporarily moved from Central and Eastern Europe.

The newly created UN even decided that a criteria for "migrant/displaced" person would exclude German people from the Poland/Hungary/etc...

Most probably there's a big difference between fighting offensively or defensively. Would be really interesting to see 2 different questions.
This story actually was on the front page, which is also why I don't give your link an upvote. But maybe not by you. Btw retransmitting is frowned upon in most communities and can even result in bans.
I agree, but that measure compares Russia in 1917, before the Soviet Union, with Russia in 1991, which was 25% smaller.

The Soviet Union was indeed considerably larger than Russia had been since the 17th century.
Or invade some poor shits country because freedom.
First, the links were redacted - at least from the version published around here.

Secondly, you really believe that even if had all the references in the world that it would make a difference?

This topic is way past "references". People believe what they want to believe. In the end, reality wins.
If the question is 'Are you willing to fight for your country' then a 'Sure, count me in. Huzzah!' seems to be a bit more than the commitment to defend your home.

Defending your country is - as far as I'm concerned - a very specific case of fighting for your country.

Also - defending a country (a more or less random historical entity with potentially largely different political and ethical views even among residents) shouldn't be conflated with defending your home.

For me the former is abstract and quite artificial. The latter is literally the place where I live.
Finland and Denmark have mandatory military service for males. Sweden got rid of mandatory military service in 2010, then reinstated it in 2016. Norway currently has "weak conscription" in that recruits are not forced to serve. Latvia was a part of the Soviet Union a generation ago, and had conscription until 2005.

So what all those countries have in common is that a large portion of the male population has actual military training.
Of course it has. As I said, this is subjective, but I provide support for a few non technical users (scientists/medical professionals) using the latest Ubuntu with Gnome 3 and I find it slow and unintuitive in comparison to my preferred setup. It has a superficial resemblance to MacOS/Windows which is a plus for some users.

More to the point, my comment was a criticism of the article rather than Gnome. Most of these "6 reasons" can be easily applied to any actively developed environment.
That's really too bad. Maybe something like the blind auditions they now use for orchestra positions could help. All applications done blindly or over text, using knowledge tests, something like that.
Honestly don't understand why this is downvoted. It's not just an opinion but the article is objectively really not that high quality. It's just that the content is exciting for some people.
whatever you do, you cant satisfy everyone. As libertarians say, if technology eliminated sins, the popes and prison guards would go bankrupt...
Goleman, Petrides (2001), and Salovey/Mayer (2004) all "make statements about EQ" so would all fall into ralfn's defined group "people making statements about EQ" that he accuses of being "less scientific than a gossip magazine".

But, as ralfn already clarified, he did not intend to draw actual researchers into his dragnet, so the point of dragging out that misunderstanding is what?
Australia's defence is the same. Our only real threat is Indonesia, and if they decided to invade, we can't stop them by ourselves. So it's the defence plan to do more damage than would be gained.

Of course, Indonesia isn't likely to invade - it has enough trouble keeping itself together; all the decent economic bits of Australia are on the far fringes of the continent; and the US Navy would finally get the chance to engage in a maritime war, so they'd be in like Flynn to help out.
You're making unsupported claims about the differences coming from nurture, not nature. It's very likely a combination of both. There appears to be differences in mental rotation skills between males and females (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_rotation) and males appear to have a higher variance in IQ scores (which can result in large differences in top percentiles). Men also score higher on the Cognitive Reflection Test https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5089055/

The implicit bias testing has serious issues: http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2017/01/psychologys-racism-meas...
Note that "defending your country from invasion" isn't the survey question, its "fight a war for". For the UK, our next war is much more likely to be a war of aggression or an intervention in someone else's conflict hence rather low desire to get involved. If there were a credible threat, I'm pretty sure the figure would be much higher.

I expect the answers is highly correlated with "is the next war your country involved defending from an aggressor or being the aggressor?".
I think it should also be tied to when each country was last in a war and/or involved in a major international conflict.

I see France and Germany being more present in war and conflicts much more so than (for example) Sweden, Finland in the past 100 years.

Interesting in any case! :)
I think this question may leave too much too interpretation. I'm Canadian. You probably couldn't see me fighting a war on foreign soil except under extreme circumstances. As for a war inside on our land? Much more likely.
I don't think that's a strong pattern at all...

Show HN: I wrote a script to perform a “replay attack” on the Bitcoin network
To install, run:

pip install moneywagon

and to perform the action:

moneywagon network-replay btc bch latest --verbose

That replays all transactions from the latest BTC block to the BCH network. You can also replay in the other direction:

moneywagon network-replay bch btc latest --verbose

It seems that the BCH devs did a good job of implementing replay protection, because every block I've tried to replay has failed. Maybe this tool can be useful when another currency tries to hard fork and they may not get replay protection quite right.

The code is here: https://github.com/priestc/moneywagon/blob/master/moneywagon...

Output of running the script looks like this:

The many worlds case I was responding to is different to the coin case you are taking about. In the MW case we know enough to see that the situation is not at all random. In your example you're postulating a coin that may well actually be random.

Belgian too, but would personally never join the army. I would however, find a way to relocate myself + loved ones to a more safer place.

I would totally give up on this country. Home is where you hang your hat, and being with the people you care about (and knowing that they are safe) matters a lot more than some border on a map.
Only slightly related, but if this topic interests you, you might like a (fictional) series on Netflix called "Occupied". It's about a future where a peaceful Norway tries to deal with a Russian occupation, after Norway's green energy technology poses an economic threat to Russia's international gas pipeline. Part of the dynamic of the show is whether fighting for your country is the right thing.

It's not that people belive there is literally no difference. It's that people say the differences that do exist are irrelevant and/or aren't useful for making choices such as who might be better at what. If that's true, that these differences arent't predictive or actionable, then for practical purposes, there is "no difference". That's the crux of the argument -- are differences actionable? My hypothesis is that there are actionable differences in BOTH DIRECTIONS. Unfortunately a lot of assholes blew our ability to get to the bottom of which is which because they instead pretended to get to the bottom of things but really just rigged outcomes in favor of men. Now it's super hard to shed that baggage and actually try to make positive use of any actionable differences that may exist.

In fact, I agree with your original post wholeheartedly.

You start with an "end date" (say two decades). And you make that date difficult to change, so that the "let's kick the can down the road" option is not easy.
This might be a stupid question, since I don't know how the US system works - if you have health insurance, why do you have to pay anything for drugs "covered" by your insurer? If they cover a medication, why is there anything left to be paid by you? Do you also have to pay if you have any treatment that is "covered" by your insurer?

Gender based diversity programs are hurting more than they are helping because they are confusing the role of gender diversity with the role of talent diversity.

These programs are most likely not responsible for qualified women getting jobs and even if they are they are also responsible for qualified men not getting the jobs so nothing is really gained.

The idea of qualification is something that is misunderstood far into academia as it assumes some sort of quantitative measurement is possible.

The reality is that short of what you have paper on (she's a bachelor he's a bachelor) qualifications really isn't about skills but about personality and I would challenge anyone to find even close to a way of measuring how a person fits into a company short of asking the people who work there whether they think person X fits or not.

Furthermore the idea that diversity is better for companies really need to die. Diversity is good in many cases but you can easily have one company filled with women and one company filled with men and having the group of women being of very diverse backgrounds and the group of men being of very diverse backgrounds. You still have diversity. Hell you can even have a group of women being of exactly the same background and a group of men being of exactly the same background and do really really well.

The idea the women brings something to the table simply by being women or that men does simply by being men is what is so wrong with this whole conversation. The individual brings something to the table but the individual needs to fit into a culture not being force fed into it.

Having hired and interviewed a great deal of people in my life in the tech industry I think it's fair to say that most companies will look for ANY talent they can get to. Talent is extremely hard to find and being a woman or being a man is not enough.

More women will hopefully start companies and I hope some of them will hire only women if they feel it's better for their culture. But until they start doing that to the same extent that men does and until they start to the same extent having interest in technology early on, gender based anything will always be hurting more than it will help because just having gender diversity isn't going to make your company better off there simply aren't anything proving that.

And just to be clear. I have worked with women and men far better than me. When it comes to the best there really isn't any difference. I have worked for plenty of female bosses and they are as good as the men I have worked with.
Of course this all issue could be easily solved by doing blind tests.

Just do recruitment based on tests and interviews where you hide if they are male, female, straight, queer, black, white, muslim, christian, atheist, and then choose the best candidate in the end without knowing only that part of their personal information.

They are Google, they obviously have the techincal means to make that possible.

I sort of agree. I am personally in favour of a sterile workplace. No political talk, no baby talk, leave all that stuff at home or for your friends and focus on the task at hand. But that's not what he got sacked for. From what I understand the guy claims he was sacked for "perpetuating gender stereotype". If that's the case, he wasn't sacked for discussing politics, he was sacked for expressing the wrong political opinion.

Berlin, Germany | The ADEX GmbH (DMP, Big Data)| Senior DevOps Engineer | ONSITE | https://short.sg/j/1177207

At ADEX we are working on a real Big Data scale (we are talking about processing 400 TB of raw data in real time). We analyze billions of requests daily using one of the biggest Big Data clusters in Europe (110 local servers). We love automation, so we use tools like Puppet and Cloudera on a daily basis, and always try to minimize the manual interactions. Some of the new technologies that we are using right now are Spark, Hadoop, Kafka and Docker.

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer who will take up the challenge of updating our architecture to continue improving our real time functionality. As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will help the team with maintaining, growing and optimizing the existing fleet of Linux servers. Furthermore, you will architect the infrastructure behind our application’s backend, creating scalable services, frameworks and storage solutions in PHP, Java, Python and Go. You will be challenged with the amounts of data/requests we manage to process daily, and upcoming projects which will put even more pressure and require new approaches and infrastructure stacks in the future.

Apart from the challenges mentioned above, there are a few things we can offer apart from those listed in the job description. From the company side, you can expect a lot of freedom, trust and flexibility. From our DevOps wizard you can expect professionalism and reliability from eye to eye level. He is a person who is really motivated, committed and keeps up with new technologies by visiting meet ups and conferences.

We are around 30 people in the company, half of the team works on tech positions. 15 employees are male, the other 15 female. The ADEX is based in Berlin with a small customer support team based in Hamburg. As we are a small company, we have many 1-person teams and we would like to have at least two people working on the same team, that's why the position is open.

We are pretty flexible and chilled, and very tech- and product-focused. We work in a cutting-edge industry, so we encourage our employees to try new technologies, go to meet-ups, workshops and conferences. We are not afraid of trying and failing because we strongly believe in learning from mistakes.

If-statements and all loops are all some form of "jump if zero/not zero" at the assembly level - so you could (and under the hood have to) implement all control structures used in higher level languages with conditional gotos, and probably even come up with a few more exotic control structures that might be better in rare situations.

But despite that flexibility we prefer to use the abstractions we're familiar with, as it makes it much easier to reason about the code (when you're using when you read a for loop or an if statement you know what it does, you don't have to spend extra time figuring out what a particular conditional goto construction does).

The idea is that plain recursion is like goto: a fundamental building block to the implementation, but not the abstraction level you want to work with if you can avoid it.
