Someone should let the members of these mobs know that they are not actually liberal or progressive. For example, they appear to prefer mob justice instead of due process; ideological blacklists instead of tolerance; and censorship instead of freedom of expression. The bedrock principles of a liberal society appear to be missing from their world view.
I was wondering the same thing... Maybe this was written a while ago and published recently? Not only has it happened twice but the first detection was over a year ago.
You could make the comment about the change, then create a fixup commit and allow the original author to decide to merge it or not.
Maybe proof-of-empathy? Demonstrate that you understand how someone is thinking and feeling in their vote to be able to cast your own?

Or proof-of-research?

Proof-of-rationality?
It seems like a major personality crisis for me. Any crisis makes you feel bad and personality crisis all the more so. But there is a bright side, personality crisis is a chance to grow above your head. I agree with existential psychology on it.

I believe that you can help youself by learning some bits of development and existential psychology. Development psychology describes some common kinds of personality crises, and it helps to understand what going on when dealing with concrete life story. Existential psychology can give advice what to do.

So my advice is don't start making abrupt changes in your life right now. I think that your last failures can make anyone to feel depressed and to lose faith in himself. You can stop trying to find your place in tech, but it not be good to do it just because you feel depressed.

Give youself some time to learn youself, at least half a year. Read some books or talk with psychologist -- some kind of existential psychologist will do, I believe. As for books, I personally greatly like Kegan.[1]

If you see that "kicked in three month" is a pattern, and you don't understand what precisely causes it, I believe that it needs some research. It is hard to do such a research without external help, it can take years of struggling to understand is cause external or internal, if it is some of your psychological traits causes it or something else. You need someone with whom you will be able to discuss this topic honestly. Again psychologist is one of the options. The others is some close relative, it is better if she thoughtful person and about thirty or older.

There are two opposite possibilities for you, either take sharp turns on your life path, or try to adapt. I assure you that in either way this is not the last time when you face such a choice in your life. So right now the most important goal is to learn how to deal with it. How to make conscious decision that will lead you to success and happy life. It is impossible to master this, but nevertheless it becomes easier with practice.

>So many of the arguments surrounding Damore talk as if this is in a vacuum, when frankly, it isn't. Much of the message it carried(and did little to discourage) came off as insulting to a group of people who commonly spend every day harassed just for what they are, anytime they have gone online.

That would, presumably, be women in software? Because as far as I can tell, the only people being regularly harassed on Twitter are people that don't think women should get special rights...

Hyperbole?

The definition of hyperbole is "exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally."

My statement is not hyperbole, it was not at all exaggerated is meant to be taken literally. People have gone to war over this shit.
>“Shelved” is an accurate word, but I think many people have interpreted it as meaning that Apple has given up on designing its own vehicles. My understanding is that it’s more like “Let’s get the autonomous shit down first, and worry about designing vehicles to put it in after that.” Eat the steak one bite at a time rather than all at once.
> Even though Apple had not ironed out many of the basics, like how the autonomous systems would work, a team had already started working on an operating system software called CarOS. There was fierce debate about whether it should be programmed using Swift, Apple’s own programming language, or the industry standard, C++.

You don't need arbitrary shift if you make the fractional part a multiple of the word size. But yes, replacing Bresenham for fixed point kind of misses the point, also because you can write the Bresenham inner loop in a branchless way. For example, inverting the sign of "d" compared to the parent's blog post lets you do this:

ext = -(d<0);
d -= 2*dy;
y -= ext;
d += ext & (2*dx);

where ext is really just a sign extension of d so it's very cheap to compute.

On the other hand, fixed point is better than Bresenham for the anti-aliased case present in the original article.
Nothing, business. It's a conglomerate. A business that's function is running businesses. A Yamaha piano has nothing at all to do with a Yamaha motorcycle exactly opposite to how all of Amazon's services are related and intertwined.
My poiny exactly. Giving too much power to the state would only turn it into a dictatorship (even if it's a tax dictatorship) for the ones in power will eventually sieze that power for themselves.

Shared ownership of production means is possible w/o a nanny state if the shareholders of a private company are also it's employees. But that doesn't really work well in practice, otherwise we would have cooperatives comparable to Apple, Google, VW or Samsung in terms of market value. I haven't seen any.

The safety net you're talking about could be group insurance policies negotiated by the said company. But why do this, when the same company could automate and greatly reduce expenses with insurance and health benefits paid to human workers? The purpose of a company is to maximize the profit for it's shareholders (by creating market value), as opposed to being a benefactor for it's employees. Of course, we also have a social responsability component but that's only because few people would work for an organization that would rip them off.
Speaking of religion, what this entire phenomenon really reminds me of is the advent of the printing press and Martin Luther.

http://www.economist.com/node/21541719

After Martin Luther printed his Ninty-Five Theses, Europe promptly lost its collective shit across the board. My European History is a bit rusty but a cursory glance at the Wikipedia topic should give a good idea of how much chaos the ability to spread ideas quickly and widely created.

We're talking years and years of civil war and strife. All because people who were once separated and thought they were alone found out they were not. If we use this as a barometer, we're in for some stormy seas.
I lost a great many friends just because I don't think it's okay to punch people. Good riddance honestly.

I've always tended to travel ahead of or away from the herds, but socially it's become pretty costly in the last few years.

This has been growing over a long time and is honestly pretty scary when I consider what this could turn into down the road. I'm doing my best to combat this by sticking up for what I believe in out in the open and I hope others do too.
There is no such thing as a UI layer. UI and function are inextricably linked.

For example, see iPhone's voicemail. Or the touch screen. Or the app store. None of those things could have been executed by UI teams at any other device manufacturer at the time.
>Update your computer's firewall, anti-virus and anti-spyware programmes. Up to 80% of cyber-threats can be removed by doing this

Does identity theft usually involve malware? I would think the biggest "cyber-threat" risk is phishing and I don't think firewalls and antivirus are going to help you with that beyond what safebrowsing already does.

Antivirus can actually open you up to certain attacks with memory corruption vulnerabilities in the file parsers that automatically run.

Because this means they can fire all the other developers and save a shitload of money. Make one guy do the work of ten.
In the Bay Area it's never really an issue because of quick charging. 30 minutes gets you an 80% charge from 0. When you realize that point-to-point the longest possible drive around here is ~40 miles, and there is guaranteed to be a quick charger within a few miles of your destination, it changes things. I admit it's a total mindset shift from driving an ICE but I love it.
How so? It's on the code review. They see the change, and learn about it..?

99.9% of code review that I do, and that I get, is not training. So maybe don't make all the changes for new employees? I use vim. Most people at my work use vim. Our build process is complex. Everything we do is really complicated. It works for the experienced, yet it has a learning curve.

So, new people get a slightly different experience. That's fine.

Sitting isn't a prerequisite for meditation and improving your physical health isn't the point of it either, as far as I know.
Medium has a core challenge ahead, and IMHO the opportunity is more akin to Patreon donations and less akin to Facebook likes.

I read many long blog posts especially about tech. I donate money to many authors and creators. I've learned the hard way that paywalls interfere with my ability to share links with more people, and undermine open source discussions. And voting systems tend to be gamed.

Medium's price point is a risk. Flat monthly fees of $5 is too low for what I spend on quality writing, but also too high for many people in less-wealthy areas.

I advocate a tip jar. It's the worst form of payment, except for all the oth­ers. I also advocate a sponsorship button to encourage future writing and projects.

I believe success looks a lot like what creators such as Amanda Palmer are doing with fundraising. If you're interested, watch her TED talk or her Patreon page. I don't know if her way would work for part-time writers, or ad-hoc bloggers. I do believe it's a worthwhile experiment.

Not sure that's a comparison I'd invite in that market.

Because Facebook has been sued, even by big players like Yahoo. If Yahoo sues them for patent infringement, they want to be able to say, yo...what about all that free code we gave you?
"That means assumptions about the “residual value” (to use the American term) of the cars at the end of the contract, which are based largely on data from before PCPs became so popular, may not be so accurate."

When you put it like that, it reminds me of the endowment mortgage situation in the UK which led to people having serious issues at the end of their mortgage term [1]. Obviously not at the same scale, but it'll still alter the market considerably.

Planet Labs is the big wildcard in mapping. When Google first mapped the world, they had to hire thousands of contractors to drive cars down every street, and even pretty metropolitan areas would be updated once or twice a year. Now, there's a company with a fleet of a couple hundred satellites that's imaging the whole world every day, with a resolution of about 10 feet. Not sure on their pricing - I think it's a lot - but the capital cost of building an accurate physical map has gone down dramatically.
Have a stretching regimen, watch your posture, change your position often during work (I do so even in a chair), and do some decent physical activity that involves your back. Gardening is a popular one that keeps seniors structurally sound. Volunteer work, tinkering with cars, handymanning around the house, taking care of lingering projects like that can really help and have more benefits than just moving weights back and forth. However, the latter is also pretty simple if you can keep yourself doing it regularly.
BTW: A branding statement from Medium shared with Poynter says the new wordmark and branding system "reflects the unique and dynamic nature of the ideas you can find on Medium without compromising the voices and stories shared."

git was invented 2005. So you mean when people used the term Continuous Delivery more frequently? Because using CI and automatically deploy is not "new" and was surely done before git - I remember doing that even with CVS and SVN.

We'll see if it's a win-win in 30 years. I personally think the Japanse model is better largely because it doesn't create social problems and cultural rifts in society. Also look at Switzerland and it's hardline immigration policies, which are really the result of a very healthy respresentative democracy.

Yes, because anyone who disagrees with Antifa's tactics should reasonably be assumed to be a Nazi sympathizer... I can't roll my eyes hard enough at this.

This should be a big part of the conversation around self driving cars. If we added some basic markers and beacons to our roads we could have self driving cars a lot sooner. Start with the interstates, we'll save a ton of lives and bring down the cost of shipping.
Because outsourcing car manufacturing doesn't make much sense. The transportation costs eat up most of the savings. That's why Toyotas, Volkswagons, etc sold in the US are made in the US.

One shipping container holds 60,000 iphones. One shipping container holds one car.
It depends what the feedback is and how you phrase it. If you want to suggest an alternative implementation, I think a PR to the author saying "hey, did you consider this?" is better than a long chain of comments trying to explain what you mean.
This post is specifically about how you can write your own refactoring (and contribute them back to the Swift compiler if you choose to do so).

The nice thing about Swift being open-source and Xcode supporting multiple Toolchains is you can test your own modifications to the language, refactorings, etc. Xcode will syntax highlight your language changes and provide access to your refactorings.

It is also a great way to test out other people's proposed changes to the language: pull their branch (or download their toolchain archive) and give it a try. As implementations for proposed Swift 5 changes start to become available you can test them in real situations and provide informed feedback.

As with any code, be careful about downloading from untrusted sources!
>operator inversion identities like a−(b+c)=(a−b)−ca−(b+c)=(a−b)−c, a−(b−c)=(a−b)+ca−(b−c)=(a−b)+c, and their multiplicative analogues. I don't know names for these algebraic laws either.

Isn't that the distributive property of multiplication over addition? There is a -1 that gets multiplied.

To my mind, keeping copies of old, deleted files is an important part of a backup. Just to be clear, I wasn't using crashplan as a kind of media file store or anything - their restore experience was far too clunky for me to bother with that!

I'm more concerned about old files I've accidentally or deliberately deleted that I later turn out to need.

Anyway, my storage requirements are pretty low (probably 1tb) so I'm going to look into solutions like B2 with Arq (along with my existing Time Machine).

Just frustrating to have to go through all this!
Tesla's are not self-driving cars in the sense of revolutionizing any driving. You still have to pay attention and be ready to take over all of the time. That means you can't sleep, read emails, etc. on your commute. It's a fancy lane assist that reduces mundane movements you have to make and it improves safety, but it's not resulting in super cheap automated taxis or overnight road trips.
I once joked that ever since I've heard about how bad it is to sit down during hours, I've decided to lay down instead.

But is that really so silly? I used to work in front of a computer. I was sited all day and I can tell it got very uncomfortable. I had back pain and stuff. Now I spend most of my time on the bed, and my back is absolutely fine. The main drawback is my neck, but it's not nearly as inconvenient.

What I mean is : isn't the posture what is wrong with sitting instead of just inactivity? If so, does that mean we need something like the Altwork Station[1]?

The other problem is that many folks working unskilled jobs typically don't care to improve their lot in lives. I've been working on software for managing cattle farms with customers all across from Kyushu to Hokkaido and our biggest hurdle is that the employees simply aren't interesting in learning or trying to improve their lives. This extends to some farm owners even.

Talk to them and all they care about is pachinko, women, alcohol and messing with their cars.
Thanks for the link and the detailed explanation. This confuses me a bit:

> SaferCPlusPlus does not restrict the number and type of references to an object that can exist at one time (i.e. the exclusivity of mutable references)

and

> SaferCPlusPlus .. deals with this issue by having the pointer/reference itself "know" if its target dynamic object is still valid.

It sounds like this happens at runtime (reference counting?), as opposed to compile time. Do I understand that correctly?

Also, I see that there is the `access requester` type, are there any facilities like Send/Sync in Rust which guard against data races at compile time or runtime?

Thanks in advance!
While we are all individuals there are still some traits more common to one sex than the other. It seems women more often than men become attracted to a teacher/mentor/supervisor. Ask any diving instructor for instance. This makes cross sex mentoring where the man is the mentor a minefield.
I would be absolutely stunned if they do. They'd be always one software bug away from bankruptcy then.

Then increase the fee. BTW, it's like insurance — I expect to pay the fee whether or not I actually use customer service. It's not that I'll pay the fee only when I actually talk to customer service. If it's the latter model, the fee could be higher, like, "Pay ₹1000 and get service for the next month."

Even if few people are paying for it, it's worth it to address the negative perception about Google.

You seem to be assuming that Google (or any other company) does everything right, so if they're not doing it, it's a bad idea. That's not true. Companies make mistakes all the time.
Given that you have to pay an annual membership fee to get access to that gas, it's likely subsidized by the fee and used as a loss-leader to bring people to shop at Costco.
Well I had only just finished my first CrashPlan backup set, so thanks a lot Code 42.

The software's horrendous on Linux anyway, it just seemed like my best option.

Guess I'll have to write my own. Unless someone's got something supporting cloud backup that's better than Duplicity that I've not heard of.
I'd love to hear about that free farmland thing you mentioned.
