> Please quote the memo section that you are referring to when you say "Turns out".

That was obviously tongue-in-cheek. Damore doesn't have any solid evidence, just an "intuition" (read: bias) based on some articles he's read. At least he's honest enough to admit he's not infallible. You, on the other hand...

> Maybe if you researched the matter you'd be surprised that your arguments aren't as strong as you thought.

Please, correct my wrong assumptions. You seem to be well informed in the subject, seeing as you are telling me I'm wrong. So far, you've been incapable of answering the simplest of questions: what is the number of women who are not interested in engineering because of biological causes?

> But don't bother to link to the study, the line/page in the memo, or any aspect of its debunking?

This is the study: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/222673203_Sex_Diffe...

Here's some critique on methodology: http://www.thetutorking.com/2014/08/criticisms-of-connellan-.... Google for more, it's not that hard.

As an aside, notice that the split in the study doesn't correlate with the 80/20% gender divide at Google. So even if the study was correct, Damore's point would still be bullshit.

> You flip out over the Rosa Parks metaphor, but have no problem with saying

Awe, look at you! Trying to do the old alt-right "by pointing out someone else's racism you are the real racist" switcharoo! It would be cute, except for the unfortunate events in Charlottesville that reminds us that racism is alive and doing great in the US.

Yes, I do flip at people trying to use dubious "biological" causes to explain away clear societal issues. You, my friend, are one of them.
The Difference Between Amateurs and Professionals
Word has its own version control built in, which works pretty well. You can see all revisions, and step through and accept/reject. You can also do diff of two documents.
I keep falling for it still. I go through phases of "eh everything is OK in moderation, just sleep and eat vegetables" to "I can only eat sweet potatoes, broccoli, and wild Alaskan salmon from now on." It depends on what I read - I know that there are many studies that show no evidence of benefits from 'organic' or 'non-GMO' foods, for example, but most recently I came across http://theshawnstevensonmodel.com/ and my irrationality has gotten the better of me. He's just so charismatic.
Mathematicians as storytellers
First of all, I was commenting on the quote out of context. That's why I objected to "the way it's phrased." I don't like the phrasing, whatever the context. There is no reason whatsoever that games need to give up mastery. None.

Reading comprehension, bro.

That being said, even in context, it's dumb. He's saying games need to stop "pandering to the player’s desire for mastery" to qualify as art. That's silly. I'm not an art relativist or anything, but this is an unnecessarily narrow definition of art: "a work must lack a specific thing to qualify as art." How stupid is that? The author just wants video games to be something they're not, and that's fine, but he is just saying whatever his judgmental gut is telling him to say, which is causing him to say stupid and patently incorrect things.
Hmm, I see. Thanks for sharing.
On the flip side, sometimes simple formatting in Latex can be a nightmare, for example, getting your table columns spaced correctly.

We're building a WordPress-like CMS for Hugo sites. I'm curious if this would improve the Hugo experience for you (commits to your repo, supports media uploads, Markdown, etc).

We're rolling out a feature soon that will allow you to specify the version of Hugo you're running.
Hopefully it's making a comeback.
The reasons for why religion was explicitly protected in the First Amendment have some historical and political complexities. But I don't believe the reasoning, at the time the Constitution was written, nor today, had anything to do with hereditary probability.

But ignoring historical reasons and realities, the contemporary moral argument for why religion deserves more protection than political ideology is because political ideology can be expressed (and protected) through participating in the political process. Whereas being a member of a religion is not seen as necessarily a political activity, especially in religions that do not engage in the political process.
Personally I see no difference between the current statement of

sep.join(list) is idiomatic

and possible statement of

s.flatten() before BM/SIMD is idiomatic

except that join is ubiquitous and BM/SIMD searching is never heard of by a regular developer in modern boring language. Not to mention that few of us who aware can implement or use it properly.

edit: searching/iterating methods could simply flatten() string on demand, because one doesn't search in semi-composed string [to trash performance back again]. If string doesn't have to be searched, but is for socket/file, writing methods could `s.fetch_next(BUFSIZ)` and skip huge concatenation before BUFSIZ-chunking-again at all. What's the reason to concatenate prematurely AND by hand, if it could be done automatically and only if needed?
Not everyone does and there can be multiple layers of reverse psychology even if there is. Is this wall fake? If so, are they trying to fake that there is sell support? Or do they know people will think that and there really is sell support?

And yet, here you are, advocating for using a weak "biological" argument to be unfair to a minority.
> But the notion of JrGQL and GQL as query languages means that the servers handling these calls must be query resolvers. Unlike most restful interfaces which tend to devote a single uniform interface per endpoint with only minor modifications, a full query model of your domain means an explosive quantity of potential strategies piped through a single endpoint.

GQL does seem to encourage, if not assume, a type-theoretical graph datastore as the backend. (Who couldn't whip such a thing together, if it were lacking?)

But it does not require one. This point may be lost in the tutorial and examples shown on graphql.org. There is no reason one could not map a basic GQL service onto an existing set of REST endpoints, with each one a type, and the return of their fields controlled by the request.
Google Hosts Nonprofit That Says Research Shows Boys a STEM Buzzkill for Girls
Both PotC and Monkey Island draw heavy inspiration from Tim Powers' book "On Stranger Tides". If you loved either of those then maybe go read it.

(I can't be arsed to find a citation for it but I've seen either Ron Gilbert or Tim Schaefer explicitly mention OST as an inspiration for Monkey Island, and Disney went so far as to loosely adapt it for the fourth PotC film.)
I kind of like it. Random walk price movements must be incredibly boring to trade against. The more manipulation, the more interesting IMO.
It's weird though. The origin spec is specifically a discrete protocol called HTCPCP, not HTTP, so it has nothing to do with HTTP standards. They can do whatever they want with 418 in HTTP.

But who do you trust to decide that someone is a Nazi? Should it be Slate, some government bureaucracy, you personally, AirBnB? What if someone labels you a Nazi?

Should we just throw them into water and see if they float? Or administer a "are you a Nazi" test on a polygraph?

EDIT: This is a problem of the current political climate where words have lost their meaning. A lot of people even remotely right of center have been called a Nazi or "alt-right" or "white-supremacist".
Interesting... the real issue here is Amazon's long-standing implicit tolerance of counterfeit goods from disreputable suppliers. I wonder how many more incidents like this it will take before Amazon finally does something.
I worked with it _before_ it was released, and with DistBelief before that. For a long time I considered TF to be the best option for the class of problems I work on. I was also extremely skeptical of PyTorch, but it won me over. Now that I'm no longer on a steady diet of Google Kool-Aid, I have the luxury of picking the best tool for the job. For a number of things that tool is made by Google (protocol buffers, gtest, gmock, grpc, some other things). But not for ML.
Very few of police shootings are straight up murder. The ones that were unjustified are usually criminally negligent homicide.

Cops really aren't held to a lower standard. They are held to the same standard, except they aren't required to retreat from a dangerous situation. Instead, they are forced by their job to confront it.

Other professions that deal in high risk don't really face much criminal legal prosecution either. Doctors who kill their patients accidentally rarely face jail.

The country does a terrible job training and preparing them for it. Another big issue is that cops have a pretty reasonable fear that suspects will be armed, which police in other countries don't really face.
> You could equally and more accurately say government governs under the permission of the people.

Indeed, which is why we limit freedom of speech. These things don't happen without the public's approval.

This isn't the world where you get to do what you want. This is the world where you get to do what government (= the public in a democracy) allows you to do.

I'm sorry you thought otherwise.

I get the desire to defend free speech, but as everyone is already aware, several people have ALREADY died directly from this horrific and dangerous event, organized by criminals and terrorists.

Be thankful AirBnB has sided with safety.

Welcome to the real world, where people actually die as a result of the words they say, instead of "theory" world.

In my limited experience implementing a GraphQL server with node.js at work for a smaller app, it adds quite a bit of complexity to getting data out of a relational database.

After implementing GQL, I found this very old slide show on REST and it happened to solve my complexity problems. https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/landlessness/teach-a-dog-t...

GQL and this alternative have their place and they solve problems for very large teams of (like the teams at Facebook), but for smaller teams and smaller apps, I'm not sure it's the right solution to REST's "join" problem.

> Many countries have a famous defeat or last stand. Dunkirk is ours; our Thermopylae, our Alamo, our Stalingrad, our Pearl Harbour.

I'm not sure why Stalingrad is on this list. Do you mean that it was a glorious last stand for the Germans? I haven't noticed it being represented in that manner in German culture before.

If you meant it as an example of last stand in Russian culture, then the most prominent and well-known (in that culture) example of it would rather be this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_of_Brest_Fortress.
Reading texts critically, thinking about the context that produced them, and debating the author's rhetorical strategies has a lot more to do with Renaissance humanism than with postmodernism. Simply reading all historical texts with the expectation that the author meant to tell the facts and nothing but leads to the acceptance of frauds like the Donation of Constantine:

This isn't that hard - Airbnb has the right to ban Nazis from its platform. It has the right to ban anyone it wants to from its platform, with the exception of protected classes laid out in law, because it is a private company. I really, really do not see the controversy here.

Obviously, you can't tell if someone is a Nazi, so only those who openly display their ideology should be banned.

I remember how my inner voice went away. I was looking into the whole speed reading thing and one of the main points was getting rid of subvocalization while reading.

The author of the book explained it that we do complex and sequential actions all the time without the need to tell ourselves what we are doing and what to do next.

It made sense to me so I went with it to try and speed up my reading. I would catch myself every time I started to sub-vocalize and try not to do it. Eventually I did the same when talking to myself. I would internally say to myself "why did you need to tell yourself that?", eventually it just went away.

Maybe talking to yourself could be an artifact left behind from the time you first start learning how to read and were told to practice reading by reading to yourself.

I have spent countless hours fiddling with both LaTeX and Word trying to get them to do what I want. The difference between the two is, once I had figured out how to make LaTeX do what I want, the steps were all documented and reproducible. With Word I had no such record of all the menu items, settings, and button clicks that had given me what I wanted.
I found this a nifty intro to perl6. I am a 70 year old retiree and have 37 years of C programming and some C++, perl5, and other languages. This is the first time I've been able to make the slightest headway digging perl6.
XSL-FO provides a similar level of format control without the headaches of a hard to debug language and fossilized macros. You can use Docbook as the launching point for the final translation to XSL-FO and use any number of human friendly markup languages (ReST, Markdown, etc.) that can be converted to Docbook. Other output formats like ePub also become easy to generate with a Docbook intermediate.
Is your service coupled with Hugo?
It's interesting that you think "legal justification" is being used as the "final consideration", which would imply that legal justifications are ever final in a legal system that is meant to oversee the rights and well-being of 300 million different people.

Moral beliefs change, governmental systems evolve, laws take time to pass. You're complaining about why there is or isn't a law, but then you want to take this debate out of the reality from which laws exist in the first place. That sounds about as fun and productive as arguing computational implementations with someone who doesn't believe in the relevance of time or physics.

edit: replaced "computational theories" with "computational implementations"
Hyperbole aside, the confluence of features, usability, simplicity and correctness in RethinkDB is amazing. Every time I come back to it I'm impressed by how straightforward and convenient it is to use.

I don't understand (also hyperbole, their founder actually did a writeup on why the business venture failed) how such good software could exist and not have a thriving company behind it.

I just went through setting up HA RethinkDB on my kubernetes cluster and had more trouble with kubernetes (granted I am new to kubernetes) than I did with the database. Literally just start the first one and start the second one with just `rethinkdb --join <the first one>` and you're done.

Does that same freedom exist for private entities that don't want to bake cakes for gay couples?

The problem with limiting freedoms to certain groups is that you have little to no control over who gets to decide which groups are acceptable.

Today it might be a group you don't like. One election later and it might be a group that you are a part off.

That is why you need to defend the principle, even if you don't like the specifics of what you are defending, and is why, for example, the ACLU is defending Milo: https://www.aclu.org/blog/speak-freely/how-could-you-represe...
> I've worked with O'Reilly and Wrox and both have you do one document per chapter

Ouch. The number of times I have changed stuff like gutters, margins, chapter headings, caption fonts and layouts would make that an absolute nightmare.

I am really happy how easy all that stuff is in LaTeX. (Of course, other things are a nightmare.)
I'm one of those guys. I used to write my university philosophy papers in LaTeX (which I learned from physics+maths classes), and dealing with citations was definitely a lot easier. A more understated advantage of using markup was that I was trivially able to nondestructively comment out sections or leave comments on important points or paragraphs in a paper, not unlike what one would do in code. Once I got used to that I couldn't go back to WYSIWYG. Now, if I don't have time to deal with LaTeX, I'll just use Markdown or whatever format that isn't proprietary.

From the Wikipedia page:

> One milestone was the April 2009 discussion hosted at Cato Unbound among libertarian thinkers (including Patri Friedman and Peter Thiel) in which disillusionment with the direction and possibilities of democratic politics was expressed with unusual forthrightness. Thiel summarized the trend bluntly: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”

I think it's certainly fair to say that he is not a supporter of democracy. Whether he has specific plans, only he knows.

The Gawker suit certainly established that he's willing to use his wealth to involve himself where others (with less money) go against his personal views, and attempt to set legal precedent in his favor. Ideally without the knowledge of the general public, of course. I don't think it's outrageous to characterize him as an activist.

They can, but they believe in rough consensus and working code and in being conservative in what they do and liberal in what they accept from others.

Riiiiiiight, that's why underground groups on the far left like anarchists and communists were so successful in Poland, Spain, Greece and elsewhere. The far right was normalized and that's how they grew their ranks. It was the editor that published Mein Kampf as well as Hitler. It was the Italian media and the futurists that helped Mussolini gain power. This isn't about censorship, this is about how fascists can co-opt the democratic process and rise to power.

They also have the luxury of investigating themselves, or withholding applicable information from the independent investigator, having the same hierarchical level as the prosecutor, and generally favorable view in a jury's eye. They also aren't held to the same standard, but I'm trying to level with you here.

I hope pointing out inefficiencies doesn't irreparably bias me in this topic. Like, lets say this was a different country we cared less about: if I saw that system I would make fun of it or simply dismiss it as "corrupt".

I don't agree on that. Of course, if someone wants to bypass a puzzle they can, but that's not the spirit in which I read the "no tutorials or hint systems" bit. What he's really offering is the option for the player to elect to never see hints and training, and puting the constraint on himself that he has to use gameplay and good design to explain the problems and not beat you over the head with the solution.

I believe his goal is not to make it more fun by making the "finished this game" more exclusive, but rather make it more fun by designing it to be intrinsically fun for the audience he's targetting.

$40k doesn't seem particularly shocking to me. If you have a team of 5 working on developing the thing that'd be roughly what your own team cost you for 2 weeks anyway (counting salary, benefits, leave, equipment, office space and overheads).
