I'll try, I guess.

Respectfully suggest you consider the root comment here with these guidelines ("name-calling") in mind.
More chatter doesn't mean more people. This is something that needs to be stated if we're going to actually understand the social dynamics at play here. And the fact that more people use a certain word doesn't mean they're part of the alt-right. In fact, I've seen the word cuck used by leftists to mock alt-right provocateurs like Chris Cantwell as of late. So, I think the analysis needs to refine its approach.
No. Check it out, the workflow here has much less friction than a wiki.

Because you might want to group files in an order other than first element to last element. Putting them in directories bakes in a single specific organization, rather than letting them be organized as desired on the fly.
Sure. They're not really called Beowulf clusters anymore, but even at the beginning there wasn't any particular defining characteristic other than a cluster of commodity servers running some kind of software that made them work together. You could consider the clusters at LHC, the render farms at Weta and Pixar, and (if you squint) the non-web clusters at Google and Facebook to all be spiritual descendants of the original Beowulf cluster.

That is a pretty loaded interpretation, to say it's equivalent, yes, both sides are surprised, but the purists accuse the tests of being tampered with and lied about, while the black man then, two paragraphs later goes on to say '"My mind has been kind of broadened to take the whole world really on as being like brothers. It's weird, it's strange," he said.'

> Internet service providers and governments

Which of these is Google? You seem to have reiterated my argument back to me.

> If you're an android user you don't have an alternative.

Cell phone operating systems are not a fundamental part of the communication infrastructure of the country. If you really did think that, you'd be asserting that people have a right to an Android phone, and that governments should compel Google to sell them to everyone at a fair price. According to you, the gov't doesn't get to do that for iPhones or Blackberries or whatever Amazon is doing in this space.

I hope you see how ridiculous that idea is. If you replaced your smartphone with a dumb phone today you'd get along fine and barely notice. None of your rights would be infringed. There are reasonable alternatives to having an Android phone for anything you'd want to do on an Android phone. You can't say the same thing of access to the infrastructure of the internet.

Nobody is saying Google doesn't have a lot of influence, and nobody's saying that isn't problematic. Nobody's calling you a Nazi for warning about censure that comes from centralization (the EFF is on your side). But you're spitting hypocrisy at other people and erecting straw men when you haven't thought your own ideas through. I get you're angry, but try to reflect more.
This seems to me like the natural counter reaction to other things that are also "getting stronger":

* Anti capitalism

* Political correction "enforcement" (can't really think of a better way to put it)

* Desire to stop, slow, or destroy what's perceived as white privilege

* anti-fascists movements who's members themselves seem quite fascist

* Stop, slow, or destroy what's perceived as a patriarch society.

Personally I don't like either groups here. There's too much extremism going on. Infact I think these groups are on a collision course unlike anything we've seen in a long time.

walking (or biking) outside with my wife and just talking about stuff is the best way I find to unplug...

Just add, also around the pool in the evenings with a beer or a little cocktail again just talking and no electronic and no music even...

Before when the kids were younger the best was sports few times a week (hockey, basketball, soccer, football) - it was just great, raw emotions, etc :-)

How Gatorade Invented New Products by Revisiting Old Ones
It would require the silicon to run at higher temperatures than when air-cooled. Semiconductor failure rate roughly doubles every 10C temperature rise. For most environments, it's better to spend energy to actively cool the silicon than extract heat energy from it, because the cost of failures is higher than the cost of power.
Depends completely on how the implicits are being used. The older form of implicit conversions are pretty rough, but the more modern trend towards implicit enhancement IMO can improve readability.
Think about it from the developer standpoint. I've added a new feature to my files. Either i go give all the old versions support for that new feature (free upgrade) or i say "listen, if you want to use the new stuff, get the latest version. Otherwise, continue to use the working version you have with the working set of features it had when you bought it."

to me this is a totally reasonable thing for developers to do.
Free shipping for what delivery time frame?

Amazon Prime's fees are quite small compared to direct shipping costs with carriers. It depends on the product type, of course, but typically third-party sellers are already on thin margins selling on Amazon. It's very likely that "drop a few bucks off the Amazon price and offer free shipping" means they're selling to you at a loss.
I decided a few years ago that I was tired of being fat, so I started working out. Fast forward to today... I'm still fat (dieting is the trick folks, you can't burn an extra 700-1000 calories a day while using that "deficit" as a reason to enjoy that dessert and get to a healthy weight) but I usually walk about 7 miles a day (thanks Apple Watch for the effortless tracking), every day. During that time I will listen to an audio book. Sometimes I just spend the time thinking about hard problems in whatever project I'm working on, but most often I enjoy a book.

Listening to book on that walk is how I unplug and is probably the best habit I've ever picked up. I'm 40lbs lighter, probably 100 or so books better read and have a nice collection of destroyed Nike trophies.
Couldn't it also just mean they're getting louder? Louder /=/ stronger.

In a bit of irony The Communist Party is illegal in the US.

Communist Control Act, 50 U.S. Code § 841

>The Congress finds and declares that the Communist Party of the United States, although purportedly a political party, is in fact an instrumentality of a conspiracy to overthrow the Government of the United States. It constitutes an authoritarian dictatorship within a republic, demanding for itself the rights and privileges accorded to political parties, but denying to all others the liberties guaranteed by the Constitution.

Some. Brown v Board was initiated as a lawsuit against government. And many of those that were started as a result of civil disobedience then pursued legal means to resolve the dispute.

My point being that one of the great features of our government is that there are methods of changing things that do not involve breaking the law.

One of the most effective efforts for Civil Rights as a whole in the 1960s was increasing minority turnout to the ballots, as suddenly their interests had to be taken into account by those wishing to be elected.
Yeah, this is exactly the sort of thing I was talking about. How can you be a brilliant engineer and make this sort of mistake?

I was trying to hire a very senior guy from Sun and we didn't get him because our salary offer was lower than Sun's but the package was better than Sun's. This guy was a distinguished engineer (equal to a director in the management track). We wanted him for VP of engineering, he was smart, good people person, got stuff done. But couldn't add up all the things in a package.

Just weird.

This article got off on such a bad foot that it shattered and splintered into thousands of lacerating shards that sent the whole thing tumbling to its knees... I have no problems with calling things by their names, such as 'shitty Nazis', etc, but conflating terms to forward your own (or someone else's) political gamesmanship is dishonest and slimy.
It would be interesting to find any library that actually depends on that. There used to be some, but I haven't seen any in years.

I hear getting a superbike after you hit 30 pretty much guarantees you'll be dead within 18 months...if we required this for older commuters think of the pension costs that could be saved...seriously these discussions all seem to revolve around "how can we penalize someone to incentivize some solution?"

I'd say yes and no.
Given that way that a lot of HR departments just seem to run a keyword search for jobs and this often hits languages. This can work against you. If the cool stuff is relevant then that will be good once you get past the HR, if not it's cool anyway.
However, unpopular languages can work in your favour when the number of developers drop or the languages become more popular, for instance Cobol was suddenly a goldmine around Y2K and who knows where current tech will go.
However, getting extra languages under your belt is a good thing both for employability and learning new programming paradigms.
Just In Time Procrastination.
Not a trendy language by any means, but C# meets all your criteria.

1. About the strongest OOP support of any language which doesn’t have a dynamic or Scala-esque exotic type system. Also supports non-OOP imperative, unlike Java.

2. Linq is nigh-on the best FP support offered in any non-FP language’s standard library, and really is one of the best FP libraries period.

3. Invented async/await, by far the most ergonomic concurrency primitive yet created.

4. Fast and easy to tune for performance (stack-allocated value types which can also be passed by reference).

5. If you know Java or C++ you’ll be productive within minutes.
How to know you're in a mass hysteria bubble
Charting the US retail revolution
A lot of criticism is valid however rather generalized. The talent pool at large-scale, low-cost services industry in India is comprised of people who were mass hired, trained on the job and dug through a single skill set for years. That being said, there are pockets within the organization which do really well. It is worth noting, that it can't be a million dollar business without actually solving a business problem. There was a time, when it did manage to fill a massive gap in western markets and even today builds/maintains large scale systems at lot of western enterprises.

In my opinion, it provides challenging opportunities around how to manage large distributed teams. It is not a place to seek technical growth or high powered teams.

As an outsider, I feel, Vishal Sikka, was attempting to change the culture from within but was clearly facing considerable resistance from promoters/founders. I admire the value system upon with the Infosys was originally founded on; they originally went out of their way for employees, however, over time the focus has shifted and I feel they have failed to keep pace with evolving landscape and business models both.
That's a variable assignment. What's complex with that?

The majority of the bot posts were opposed to the change in rules. I posted my comments and it is not even possible to find them in the echo chamber without a priori knowing the number. If you actually scrolled through posts you would find my post surrounded on either side by 100+ verbatim copies of the same bot post.

On the study, (1) I think the term "net neutrality" was very politically chosen and (2) I think people are more intelligent and act in their own interests more than studies like this give them credit for.
Also, your physical presence is pretty much required if you want to have any sort of career progression. But it's great if you don't care about it and just want a steady paycheck that isn't eaten up by high cost of living.
An example from the linked blog post:

> It strikes me that anti-microkernel sentiment most vocally originates as a sort of tribal affiliation mechanism by Linux users to ward off insecurity.

I think the post would be a better reference and stand a greater chance of correcting common misconceptions if it didn't include so many ad-hominem attacks against those who don't agree with the post's author. As-is, it just appears to be a continuation of a long-running flame-war.

"if there's any fraud the merchant eats all of it!"

- not 100% true- see "fraud Liability Shift topics" Your card Issuer gets it if it's an EMV (ie chip was dipped) card-present transaction, merchant gets the liability if it was online or over the phone-Exception being if 3DS is used. Fraud is ultimately payed for either by your bank or by the merchant.

Interesting to find out such a patent even exists. Does this mean the sites on which I have seen the one-click feature implemented were until now breaking the patent?
I don't think anyone ever argued that this wasn't because of bad programming.
While he may have been shocked - I don't think he was describing upset in the way that these Neo-Nazis are. An love how you dug up and article from 2003 to support this...
This surprises me as minimalism is becoming extremely popular. I mean, websites shouldn't be myspace pages.
See my reply below, and I'll concede that some of the cases may have been provoked by breaking the law. But I still feel like there's a big difference between:

A) Breaking the law and then appealing to the judicial or legislative or executive for redress

B) Repeatedly breaking the law in pursuit of justice because it's inconvenient

The latter furthers dissolving the rule of law. The former supports it in an odd sort of way.
I dunno why you're all worked up. I didn't say anyone was inept (I sure hope I didn't, if I did, my apologies). Nor did I say you should remove your chainsaw brake.

What I was saying was what works for me. If you want to approach things differently, be my guest, I wasn't trying to convince to be a clone of me, I was just saying this is what works for me. Not sure why that is such a controversial thing.

Shrug.
I agree about how broken it is. But for a patent attorney, it is gold, if you can extend the idea. If I had more money to defend one back in 2000 I would own mesh networks...
> Nazism has only been suppressed in Germany

Yes, I thought it was obvious from the context. The original version of Nazism was suppressed by invading their country, killing 7 million people in the process, hunting their leaders, etc.

> the Roman Empire

Hm... They were conquered by foreigners, and the empire desintegrated, but it's debatable whether the real change in culture was internal or not. You're right and it doesn't fit here.

> Is just suppression of speech actually effective?

This is a different question then... You're asking if suppression of speech with tactics you deem acceptable is actually effective. I don't know.

I do know that killing people who hold certain ideas is often effective, and that was the point I was trying to make. Merely putting people in jail for violating the free speech laws might not be enough (I don't think just imprisoning dissidents without the threat of capital punishement or outright genocide has ever been tried at scale).

So maybe we don't disagree as much and we were actually arguing for different views, right?
The idea is to have fast compilation most of the time (local dev) and slower/full compilation during the "real" build.

Here's a testing analogy: My CI server runs all tests, every time. My local machine only runs the ones I tell it to run as if I change one small piece of an app then I'm not going to wait for the entire test suite to run.

Why You Need to Care About Net Neutrality
I think pedal-assist is fine, but some e-bikes are effectively motorcycles in terms of the speed they can travel. Those are dangerous on bike/pedestrian trails and paths. They should be licensed and taxed and require insurance like motorcycles do, and they should have to use the roads not bike paths or trails.
Worth noting, the app can still be run. Only it cannot be distributed through google play store.
First, there's just the willingness to invest in infrastructure, which is nearly non-existent in the US. Swiss people LOVE infrastructure, they are proud of their tunnels, railroads, bridges, dams, etc.

Take a look at the referendums over the past few years: universal basic income? No. More vacation days? No. Forbid speculation on food products? No. Define marriage as man/woman? No. Build a new tunnel across the Alps? Hell yeah!

But it isn't just about density. You can have mid to low average density, but still have a viable transit system.

Public transit doesn't just depend on the overall average density, but on the density of the area surrounding the transit stops.

Switzerland has reasonably dense cities and towns, with very-low-density areas in between. The SFBA has evenly-distributed low density (except for a few areas).

Increasing the distance between dense cores doesn't have as much negative impact on transit viability as spreading people out has.

The SFBA could easily solve this by changing the zoning laws around Bart, Caltrain, VTA and Muni stations.

Thankfully the vast majority of work has nothing to do with innovation.

I'd love to hear your argument for "progress", whatever that is.
That's actually a really depressing thought. Now we'll all have to start being even more vigilant to make sure that the "checkout" buttons are "start the multi-step checkout process" buttons, and not "gimme this item with whatever payment information is on file" buttons.

On the plus side, most sites I'd be really worried about probably don't have my checkout information anyway.
You are the other side.

Dutch programmers probably have little incentive to get it right, because Dutch makes relatively light use of accents. I wouldn't be surprised if Czech programmers, for example, were much more meticulous at converting between UTF-8 and legacy encodings.

Here in CJK territory, using the wrong encoding makes the output so obviously broken [1] that mistakes are almost always caught before hitting production.

Yes. One of my first jobs out of school I worked with a Standford professor Doug Rivers (@pollingpoint) that had millions of users voting records he obtained from the government for 'research' purposes. That data: your name, address, what party you are in, et al. is TOTALLY public and passed around legally to other research centers and government agencies. He had me match address information with other databases.
