Thanks for the clear answer! I'm Learning here by playing this game, it's fun because I have to do my own research and do some trial and error. What do you think ? Is it a good way of Learning the command line ? Or you can suggest something else ? Thanks.
I've understood what he's said just fine, richmarr, and you're definitely coming across in the way he's interpreting. You _seem_ to have a problem that you're struggling to define, other than a nebulous issue of "respect" which, as he's pointed out, should have absolutely no bearing on how scientifically legitimate something is. (Indeed, objections such as that are often an alarm bell.)

So: he hasn't assumed that you mean people other than researchers. If there is actual research happening then cite one example (as he already asked). He's also explained that any serious researcher wouldn't give two hoots about respect, and would only want to discover the truth, whatever it may be. Do you agree with that?
I really love the IEM from Etymotic Research:

https://www.etymotic.com/consumer/earphones.html

I've been using them for over ten years and only had to replace a pair once. I use the mc5's which are there lower tier option.

If you have ear comfort issues you can also get custom made ear molds.

They really block out so much sound it's amazing. I prefer IEM's to headphones because of the weight and heat from headphones (my ears get hot when covered).

My impression after having read this article is that she seems have a strong victim hood mentality. I don't know if this says more about her, or academia. Humanities should help you discover yourself and build you into a strong individual, her experience seems to have done the opposite. I also believe she should leave academia, but she's going to be in for quite the shock when she faces the free market.

Well, I wasn't offering an opinion as to when recursion should be used--merely pointing out that the GP's proposed change didn't hold the same meaning as the original.

>never unless you happen to have unbounded call stack depth.

But, since you mention it, I'd have to disagree with your assertion. It's not just about call stack-depth or artificial limitations. There are plenty of use-cases wherein the search-space-depth itself is naturally bound, but unknown/variable down any particular path (e.g. category hierarchies). And, yes, we can impose reasonable "manual" limitations on still more use-cases to expand this universe even further.

Using recursion in these cases is far more elegant than nested loops.

>I also thought it was funny that she complained about the committee not raising those questions when she submitted her proposal years ago.

At least in the sciences, your thesis committee is supposed to continually/regularly keep tabs on your progress, and help ensure you're making progress towards a passing dissertation. This is the committee's responsibility.

>An approved proposal does not in any way imply a seal of approval for every detail of the dissertation... come on now.

For sure, but the committee should know how things are progressing. In the sciences, the thesis defense is not really a "defense". It only gets scheduled when everyone basically agrees you will pass, and it's more of a celebration. It's very rare to have hostile defenses, and extremely rare for someone to fail. (If that happens, it's usually due to politics.)

>As if that is a valid response to this sort of response?

True, but it is concerning if they're bringing up possible plagiarism by her and Dr. Mao, while not following through on any kind of punishment/censure of the two of them.

I do admit that my forest example is absurd. I just wanted to elucidate, as you pointed out, the price isn't supported by human's necessity to survive.

Your last point brings up an interesting tangent, if gold wasn't treated as a store of value, what would its price be? Would it be similar to diamonds where synthetic ones are half the price? Are you aware of any sources that try to answer this question?

Based on those sentences, I had concluded Dr. Mao was not her advisor: "I had to email my dissertation mostly un-read by my advisor to my entire committee (a scandal in and of itself), because, as my advisor wrote in a terse email to me, they did not have time to read it. Despite the gross negligence that this brazen declaration signaled, I was relieved by this, because it meant that I would go straight into my defense with a very high chance that Dr. Mao had not discovered what I feared they would."

I took that to mean that since her advisor told her that her committee was unlikely to read her dissertation before the defense, she took comfort in believing Dr. Mao - a member of the committee but a separate person from her advisor - would also not read it.
I should note that I've had to give many, many, many presentations in many different business environments (in front of my companies, pitching investors, new biz pitches, etc.) and I learned a long time ago that confidence is crucial. Almost every time I practiced the best man speech I stuttered quite often, and almost on the same words every time. But come game time, it almost always goes smoothly. Always found that a bit odd. Maybe I just get into sort of flow states and just roll with it.

Not a New Yorker, but what I heard was that the tunnels only have two tracks, and both are needed for daily operations. So you can't replace one when it wears out because of the service interruption. If they had made the tunnels wide enough for three tracks, they'd have a spare for when they do repairs on one of them. And give them a place to do a rolling-upgrade of old middle-20th century signaling equipment.

My grandfather carefully painted black silhouettes of tools that hung behind his workbench, so he could tell at a glance if anything was missing. (There was a house rule of use anything you want, but it better go back where it came from when you were done.)

I read the memo, and compared to the stuff I read from the real "deplorables" (on 4chan, The_Donald, etc.), it was pretty tame.

Yes, many of his ideas are backwards and unjustified. At the same time, many of his arguments were perfectly sane (e.g. silencing all dissenting opinions leads to an increasingly toxic and divided culture). If you want people like him to actually change their minds, you have to be willing to hear them out first. You can't show someone where they went wrong if they're too scared to tell you what they think in the first place.

Sexism in the workplace clearly exists. We've seen it manifest too many times for any rational person to deny it. At the same time, many of the initiatives that SV companies pursue to combat sexism are treating the symptoms rather than the cause. Googlers should try to make sure that they are consciously fighting their unconscious biases when hiring, but changing your hiring practices isn't going to eradicate sexism. Many of these diversity "action-plans" are more effective at improving a company's PR than they are at actually combating sex-related discrepancies. They become self-serving, even though their goal is noble. The author of the memo was trying to get at that, but that message was lost due to his problematic views on biological determinism, among other things.
Always amuses me how there's heat sink compounds sold to the PC enthusiast market and they're completely different brands than you'd see stocked by a traditional electronics supplier.

I recently had to resupply myself with heatsink grease for non-computer uses so I got a boron nitride grease (Chemtronics CW7250), having been told that it's the best truely non-conductive material, short of the toxic beryllium oxide. I recently also used some reassembling the heat sink on a modern CPU and it seems to work just fine.

And liquid metal alloys seem like a stupidly risky thing to use.

Recursion is different. Almost in exactly the same way that geometric proofs are different.

As such, it requires different ways of teaching.

I have used "The Little Schemer" (even back when it was called "The Little Lisper") to teach lots of "non-programmers" (I hate that description) how to do recursion.

I follow. And I agree there is a distinction to be made even in the alt-right between the ignorant and violent, even if both come with dangerous consequences.

In another conversation on HN about the social benefits of shaming people, I'd say a possible reason "basket of deplorables" approach didn't work is because it was quickly followed by milquetoast apology. If you want an invidious recipe for political fallout, that would be it. If you're going to try and shame people effectively as a bully you have to stick with it (see Trump).
First, the lack of confidence that "localhost" actually resolves to
the loopback interface encourages application developers to hard-code
IP addresses like "127.0.0.1" in order to obtain certainty regarding
routing. This causes problems in the transition from IPv4 to IPv6
(see problem 8 in [draft-ietf-sunset4-gapanalysis]).

That does remind me of the times I was dealing with weird connection issues in some critical services.

It turned to be related to the use of "localhost" in the configuration. It resolves to ipv6 on some systems and that breaks everything because the target app is only listening to the ipv4 address.

Went as far as removing all references to localhost and added lint errors in the configuration system so that noone could ever be able to give localhost as a setting in anything.
Would it be correct to say that general homomorphic computing is now (and perhaps already before this) possible, though slow?
When I arrived in Iran I knew zero words of Farsi, or Arabic. (In Iran I learned about 80 words of Farsi but have since forgotten most.) I was flying from Amsterdam, on a budget airline with a long layover in Ukraine, so that contributed to the low price, although that was a remarkably low fare. My only "connection" so to speak was that a friend is Iranian, but he hasn't been back to Iran in many years and can't go back without facing execution.

There was no RFC for localhost yet?! That's pretty surprising... That this RFC have any practical meaning? People didn't actually register localhost. domain, did they? Is there an actual line of code that this should change? Are they just trying to promote writing localhost instead of 127.0.0.1?
It may appear that way on the surface, but that's because it follows a typical pseudo-scientific formula of citing some a few specific results as evidence to give the argument an air of credibility, and then drawing broad and profound conclusions that are at best vaguely related to the evidence. He basically went from "there are biological differences between men and women that affect their preferences" (okay, I can maybe buy that) straight to "women may not be as good a fit as men for these roles" and "Google should consider ending all of its diversity efforts". The evidence he cited (some of which is research that's been debunked) doesn't even come CLOSE to justifying his conclusions.

The reason there's such an uproar within Google is that the place is full of people with extensive training in mathematics and logic, who can easily spot when you submit a "proof" that is missing about 10,000 steps between the low level lemmas and the top level claims. Combine this with the fact that the claims are questioning the right of 1/3 of the company to exist there, and of course the reaction is going to be incredibly visceral. I honestly don't know how anyone could read more than a paragraph of that document without their bullshit detector exploding.
Not implying that I agree with anything the author said, but could you give an example of a "toxic" quote from the original memo? I'm confused because your comment makes it sound like we're talking about some vitriolic diatribe, which isn't the case at all.

Honestly, this whole thread could use more quotes from the original text. It's disturbing to me how much meta-conversation is being had about the author and his email without real examples. One of the biggest failings of the memo was its lack of citation where it was most needed; can we not hold ourselves to a higher standard?

There's definitely something a bit "just a monoid in the category of endofunctors" about that description. Which is not to say that it's not both true and helpful - it's just not very accessible. Perhaps if there was a one-sentence explanation of what a bivector was, it would be a lot clearer.
lacolhost.com should also resolve to the ipv6 record for localhost.

My point is it's still processing the request. You're just shielding the web server from whatever the application holds.

In other words, let's find the theoretical limit to what your web server can handle in terms of concurrent requests. Let's throw them all at your application. In this scenario, the check-load-then-die code is worthless because the request will never get there. It doesn't solve the problem as shown in the OP. What it does is mitigate the effect of the application on the total load of the web server. Which is another problem altogether.

Also:

> drop additional requests instead of making things even slower for everybody. This is what happens here.

Not exactly. The request completes like any HTTP request would. That you're die()ing out doesn't change that, at least from the perspective of the web server.
>I also thought it was funny that she complained about the committee not raising those questions when she submitted her proposal years ago. That's the whole point dummy...

She also mentions submitting multiple drafts and requests for feedback, over the course of years, which Dr. Mao (who based on the description appears to be her thesis advsior) ignored. E.g. when she says "Dr. Mao had provided me with next to no feedback on my dissertation--- nothing substantial anyway. Emails with drafts went unanswered. There was the occasional promise to read it the following month, which always went unfulfilled."

If the very basis of the dissertation "had no validity" or the missing references were so fundamental as you imagine, her thesis advisor should have mentioned those things before the day of the defense.

She also seems to state (though she is less clear about this) that actual substantial wording from her essay (not just ideas) were copied. Several credible people she consulted (including her fellowship director) seemed to concur. I suppose it's possible for substantial amounts of exact wording to be "accidentally" plagiarized, but it's a lot less likely.
The line about overcrowding being one of the major drivers behind delays doesn't hold much water. Ridership has essentially been flat or even declining in some areas[1] (peaked in early 2010s).

I like SourceTree, and use it full time, but man does it have some annoying limitations. Like selecting a number of branches from the sidebar and deleting all of them. Something where a GUI should clearly be superior. But SourceTree doesn't allow you to do it. Or customizable Toolbar buttons to launch scripts and automate tasks.

I'd love to see an opinionated git GUI that doesn't aim to replicate all the features of the command line, but instead focuses on streamlining the daily work of a software developer working on features and bugs.
Well, because that IP isn't what localhost is supposed to be pointed to. It's supposed to point at 127.0.0.1. The IP you mentioned is more likely to be the IP of the router you're connected to.

Usually 127.0.0.1 is limited to the computer's internal network via a loopback network interface and `localhost` should be resolving just to that, but this RFC makes it so that no matter what `localhost` will point locally instead of somewhere else which helps people who want to bind to just the internal loopback and nothing else.
If the product managers and CEOs don't have it, how do you expect the software engineers to do better? That isn't our area of strength.
