Oh, sorry, I thought you believed the article was written about Charlottesville due to its chronology, but instead you think that the article literally implies support for Charlottesville through its content.

Can you explain to us how an article that makes a case against 'speech codes' that hurt neurodiverse people within Universities relates to free-speech at a far-right rally?

Edit:

> That agreement will then, in turn be used to defend
> things that are definitely not scientific masterpieces.

Okay, I partially agree with you here. I've actually written a comment about this very recently [0].

This doesn't mean I'm against free speech. I believe that in many cases 'speech codes' have created environments which have lowered the level of discourse and radicalised people.

But 'absolute free-speech' creates terrible spaces. What I want is for people to look at the consequences of the environments they help to create, and make choices depending on the outcomes they wish to achieve rather than merely being ideological about principles like 'free speech'.

I consider myself to be a "bleeding heart libertarian". I'm against the drug war, believe in a strong separation of church an state, live and let live, etc. But I don't mind paying taxes for the government to help people help themselves and to help people who can't help themselves.
Fascinating. As an outsider this reads like a wonderful attempt by those with difficult decisions to make to be as fair as possible to all of the young people for whom they are responsible.

The only thing this has done is raise my estimations of the public servants in Amsterdam.

Not my translation, it's the "official" translation from the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce [0].

I don't think there is a US equivalent to the German "Fachinformatiker", just like there's generally no real US equivalent to the German apprenticeship system. Imho Fachinformatiker as an apprenticeship is a good approach because not every IT job needs to be on an academic level, no reason to lock a whole field of work behind the entry-barrier of having an academic title/university education.

On piping anything from the Internet directly to your system for execution: Don't be lazy. Don't be an ass.

When I am working in a persona that responsible for managing a server or a service, I insist on knowing everything I need to know about how to keep that service and the environment in which it operates safe, alive, and providing usable performance.

I require good, clean and coherent instructions for deploying something at production level, where all required components and their preferred method of interaction are clearly explained and documented by the developer, and can be repeated in a predictable manner by me.

If all I have to work with is "pipe this to the shell, alternatively read the code" I'm going to go with "nah, I'll find something professional".

Time spent installing a system should be only a minuscule fraction of time spent actually operating the system. Spending a few extra hours doing it right shouldn't make a difference.

I hate this practice, no idea how it became commonplace. Of course lots of times, installation procedures can be long and tedious, but it takes one popular project's script server to be compromised, and tons of people are suddenly running malicious commands.

I would go through manually installing dependencies and setting up my system, adding repos, etc. over running some script any day. But then again some projects wouldn't be that popular if they were hard to install.

Some of npm's installation instructions ask you to pipe curl into bash, to run a lovely script [0] which makes things easier for you, but not by much. Is it really necessary? Would developers give up trying to get npm and node just because installing not as easy as "curl https://some.script.com/that-script.sh | sudo -E bash -; sudo apt-get install npm"?

Other than building/installing programs, adding GPG/SSH keys like in the blog post can be as dangerous, and while not simple, there could be some method built to make things easier without having to run commands you don't even check.

Anyways, hope projects grow out of this habit.

I recently reduced my working hours from 40/week (8/day) to 30/week (6/day), and so far I am very happy with it. Work is much less stressful, and when I get home I have time to get a few chores done and unwind so I can get to sleep in time.

My daily commute is two times 70 minutes, but it is by train, so I have time to read, stare out the window and enjoy nature (lots of rabbits, roe deer and birds to see, plus beautiful landscape) or listen to music or podcasts, which is mostly enjoyable.
The extended workday is underrated.

I'd much rather whip out two 16-hour days than waste all week accomplishing the same tasks.

Somewhat ironically, this is a clear example of an emotional outrage post. I'm not sure how you go from my post to a specific event in the US, and assign a political colour to that post, and put me on a specific side. I have nothing to do with politics, let alone US politics. I'm from northern Europe.

The article is about neurological differences and the difficulty of navigating the modern outrage world.

I understand you might have strong feelings about certain events in the US, but in my opinion, they are not terribly relevant to this specific article.

Is the hypothesis that seems important for the article - that civilization was mostly advanced by lone neurodiverse geniuses - actually true? Sounds dubious, but who knows. At least modern science seems to be a very collaborative affair.

Was there ever a poll or study to find out if university faculty as a whole actually is scared to offend people or threatened by some hypothetical PC police? I would imagine that the debate is only relevant for the social sciences anyway, since you shouldn't have opportunities to offend people in more technical subjects anyway.

You seem to be making an assumption that just because you have not seen companies where the management encourages cutting down on daily working hours, then such companies must not exist. From my experience, I would claim that your assumption is false.

During my career, I have worked for a few small as well as big companies where the management indeed encouraged limiting the working hours to about 4 to 6 per day. All of them had 40 hour week on the contract or legal agreement but the company culture went beyond the written contract to support something like a 25 hour week.

In my career, I did not see any kind of correlation between financial success of the company, productivity and the number of working hours. Financial success had a strong correlation with good decisions made by higher management. Productivity had a strong correlation with high skill-level of engineers and managers hired.

Another way to describe what I mean is: When I worked for one of these companies that encouraged four-hour working day, there were competitors who worked the regular eight-hour working days and were beating us in the competition, and there were also competitors who worked the regular eight-hour working days and were losing to us in the competition.
We don't have to entirely rely on Apple doing something. The users have a voice also. I went on and left a 1 star review, explaining that the apps tracks your location and sells this data. If enough users would do this, it will send a strong signal to the developers that this shit in unacceptable.

As to what can be done to proactively prevent this kind of behaviour: eliminating the "use you location even when not using the app" option should be enough. I believe iOS 11 will have this.
The Newton example is not about free speech but rather his behaviour, actions, and perceptions of non academics.
The example given implies that he would be able to publish, but he wouldn't be able to get a decent (i.e. well promoted, popular) book deal. The example of Newton at the beginning of the article is a little thought experiment where we consider how having odd or off coloured views, or behaving strangely is treated differently by the outside of the academy. Such a thought experiment leads me to think that in the 17th Century it was easier to be a genius, odd, socially awkward mad professor than it is now. I don't know what it was actually like back then, but I do know that today the academy is in the spotlight more than it was when I was in it.

Good point about "fuck" creeping into the slang of a lot of other languages, I've witnessed the same very often but never really noticed until you pointed it out like that.

Curse words seem to have a certain attraction in that regard, I probably know the equivalent of "fuck" in like 4-5 different languages, while understanding literally not other phrases in those languages.
It's curious there's no video, since they're already crop-dusting. Even searching on the internet didn't turn up anything. BTW "piker" is slang for giving up, not the best startup connotation! (though mightn't be widespread)

Living in another part of the Netherlands, I haven't seen a significant difference. The Dutch have an altogether practical outlook, valuing regulatory conformity. One cannot even choose to paint the exterior of their house differently.

The main difference with Amsterdam is primarily the size of the city: greater size makes for more schools and greater variability between them. Greater variability creates a differential in desirability, thus creating the problem of allocation... to which they have devised a very Dutch solution.
Nope. That's a massive Straw man you just lit on fire.

Honestly, I don't even really like the Singaporean approach of educating your citizens and then slapping a bond on them either. I think education should be free.

I think the US owes the poorer country if it takes their citizens though, and in a just world, corporation taxes on the companies that employ these people would foot the bill of the education they are are using.

We live in a world where poor subsidize rich though and the USSR being both very poor and having a great education system was one example of that.

I think it's weird that you used scare quotes around the word "investment". Do you consider the idea that there should be a societal gain for educating ones' citizens controversial?
What are some of the problems keeping that from happening?

Here's one: Money.

A service will cost me (more) money. A library I can deploy on already-existing infrastructure. Keeping in mind that "Cloud" is 3x to 6x more expensive over running in house, this is a significant drawback.
> If you have a non-async function that you want to change to be async, or the other way around, then you have to change every single call site.

At least in the direction non-async -> async, that is clearly a good thing, since you are changing semantics a lot.

This code is always safe:

x = globalObject.a
functionWithoutSideEffects()
gobalObject.a = x + 1

While this is not:

x = globalObject.a
await functionWithoutSideEffects()
gobalObject.a = x + 1

> It's way too easy to forget to add "await" to an async call, and doing so leads to failures that can be hard to track down.

This a situation that could clearly be improved with better detection of these cases. Or maybe it should be completely illegal to call an async function without a keyword, so you have to do either `await func()` or `promise func()`.

Well, one issue is that any employee with customer contact generally has to be available for business hours. I can't imagine a sales or support issue being dealt with in the manner of "Sorry, you'll need to contact us between 10 and 2, except on Thursdays". Especially when you have 'clients' rather than 'customers' (~= people who generally expect some continuity in their contact points).

You could argue for support to just 'simply' double the staff to cover the 8-hour day, but that has no handover time, and you also double the fixed per-employee training costs (both starting and ongoing training) and fixed HR/management costs.

While I also find the surge of electron-based application somewhat amusing, you can't deny that it has made it easier for more developers to develop cross-platform applications without having to develop and manage several codebases with different languages.

I'm working on a side-project at the moment, a large part of which is a desktop application. Using electron allows me to get a cross-platform app out the door pretty quickly. If I had a team of more than one, perhaps I would consider using something else, but as long as it is just me electron just makes sense.
Isn't the solution to publish the key on a keyserver and fetch it with apt-key? Something like

How would this help? They're still pretty unreadable and as the post describes:

People are lazy, developers are people, most developers are not interested in process of system maintenance, so if something could be done fast and easy, they could care less about it. My colleague uses Windows 8 preinstalled on his laptop 5 years ago, it's slow as hell and ridden with all kinds of toolbars, but he doesn't want to make an effort of full reinstall. He would happily pipe curl to bash, actually I'm not even sure if he understands what curl or bash is, he knows some Java and JavaScript and that's enough to be paid.

I like tinkering with system, I reinstalled my home server may be 20 times, I'm always reinstalling macos from scratch when new version released, but honestly it's not very productive time spent, so I understand people who just want to get things done.

I think it's failure of current operating systems: installing software is still too hard and tedious. Opening terminal and copy-pasting strings is not a trivial activity. If one could install npm by pushing button in their website, they would do that instead.

Same as the value of free speech. Civil forfeiture is a great example of a chilling effect based on seizure of property. There's nothing illegal about buying a car with cash, but you might not want to because if a US cop stops you and searches your car, he gets to just keep your money, so people think "eh, maybe not, wouldn't want to be mistaken for a drug dealer".

It's not healthy for a society when people start self-censoring their actions like that. If nothing else, it places banks in a privileged position where they can get away with more predatory behavior, because people are more likely to see them as a necessity.

It's for this reason that anonymous transactions are valuable. You really should be able to buy legal marijuana or books about firearm construction without worrying that people might judge you. Neither is illegal, if you want one (or both) you should have the freedom to purchase them. However, many people would choose not to buy them, simply because they know the bank might see it on their balance sheet if they ever have to call the support line, and they're worried about follow-on consequences to their insurance premiums or their job if knowledge about that purchase ever circulates. That's a chilling effect in action.

Having lived in Berlin and Freiburg, I can confirm this. I also find it interesting that most in southern Baden-Württemberg still refer to their dialect as "Allemanic"(as in the ancient confederation of Germanic tribes, the "Allemani" Excerpt from Wikipedia: "First mentioned by Cassius Dio in the context of the campaign of Caracalla of 213, the Alemanni captured the Agri Decumates in 260, and later expanded into present-day Alsace, and northern Switzerland, leading to the establishment of the Old High German language in those regions."). The french word for Germans, "Allemands", reflects these old tribal boundaries as well. It's easy to forget that Germany as a unified state is young, but try sometime watching someone from Berlin or Hamburg attempt to decipher a sentence spoken in the rural Allemanic dialect, it's pretty futile.(Note: this doesn't really apply to larger towns like Freiburg anymore. You have to drive half an hour or so into the countryside, and find an older person. Young people often prefer to speak Standard German nowadays).
