It's a little extreme to say that cold hard code is the only thing that counts. Years ago I worked with someone who contributed more cold hard code than anyone else I've known. A brilliant developer, probably one of those "10X" people they talk about: that rare combination of outstanding technical chops and "get the job done" productivity.

But more than once, he jumped into projects and features that he knew other people on the team were already working on, implemented them himself in a rush without coordinating with the other developers, and pushed his code instead.

Sometimes he would take shortcuts to get it done faster while his teammates were working on a more fully developed version of the feature. And since he was first, that was the code that would be used. The other developers were left with nothing to show for their efforts, less of a feeling that they were valued members of the team, and a significant loss of reputation in the eyes of management.

Cold hard code is important, of course. But it's not the only thing.
No, the problem with it is that the people who often like to use Statistics in this way use it selectively. If you want to argue that, I can easily argue that Trump supporters and conservatives are far more likely to be racist. Curiously, those same people will dispute that.

Additionally, stats are subject to bias, and can be manipulated very easily to scare people.

Regardless, it's moronic to just assume someone is bad or evil, and really reflects more on you as a person.
You are triying to understand too much in a single bite. Just try to understand the first item for now.

Forget the 100%c case. It's not physical so you end up with metaphors that you can't prove or disproof. Analyze the 99%c, 99.9%c, 99.99%c cases.

The easiest example is a "space ship" that has a "clock" that use the time that a light ray use to travel between two mirrors that are parallel to the speed, and the ray is perpendicular. I was going to write the details, but Wikipedia has a very clear explanation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation#Simple_inference... Go and read the subsection, I'll be waiting ...

Good. The important part is that ideal experiment is not the cause of the time dilation. The time dilation is a property of the universe, or the space-time, or whatever. So any experiment will have the same result.

This experiment is nice because the calculations are very simple. If you put the mirrors perpendicular to the speed and the light ray travel forwards and backwards, the calculations are much more complicated but you get the same result. If the mirrors are parallels but in other direction (skewed to the speed) the calculations are horrible, but you will get the same result. (I never tried, it's too difficult.)

You can use a mechanical clock, a chemical clock, a biological clock (How long does this rats live?) All of them will give the same result. It's not a property of this ideal clock. It's a property of the universe.

Read all the Wikipedia article to get more details.

About point 2 and 3: Good questions for another day.

About point 4: If someone travels inside the rocket with the two mirrors and the light ray, the astronaut will not notice any strange thing. No time dilation. The two-mirrors+light clock will work as usual. The mechanical clock will work as usual. Chemical reactions and rat will work as usual. The heart, brain will work as usual. But if the astronaut look at the window, all the clocks in the Earth will look slower.

But if you are in the Earth, the clocks in the Earth will be normal but all the clocks will look slower.

More details in the same Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation#Reciprocity

Does anyone have a TLDR about this story? I haven't had the time to follow all the drama.
Equal treatment is in no way the same thing as equal opportunity or a level playing field. So you care deeply about equal treatment and think that a level playing field/equal opportunity is unimportant. I disagree, but you might have more productive conversations if you use the terminology correctly.
Finally? Their existence has always been acknowledged in Germany.

I've been told by attorneys that applying for the Green Card lottery does not come without risk--in fact it can prevent you from obtaining a non-immigrant visa.

For example, when applying for an F or J visa (student/post-doc, say) the consular officer will ask you if you have intent to emigrate. The only allowed answer is a firm "No and I have permanent connections to my home country."

If you've applied for the green card lottery in the past, the consular officer could interpret this as having intent to emigrate and then deny you on any other non dual-intent visas.
Use the switch statement without a default clause. If you haven't exhausted the options, you get an error.

On the autism side, it's because autism also comes with serious gastrointestinal issues. So many people think it's just a neurological issue but there is a legitimate, non-conspiratorial link there.

> While the radical left in the US exists, it is mostly harmless, unlike the radical right.

This is patently false. It's just that there is a very long history in the 20th century of aiding and abetting the radical left, while crazy right-wingers tend to act out alone.

Some survey essays and interesting reading here: https://status451.com/2017/01/20/days-of-rage/ and https://status451.com/2017/07/11/radical-book-club-the-decen... .
Apparently some people think that we won't be able to engage in politics without political violence between competing groups at protests. And further, in this vacuum of rational thought, being against any particular group committing violence it makes you in 'support' their opposing tribe and/or in support of the reigning powers.

Because clearly the solution to tyranny is fringe extreme groups committing violence, supressing speech, and property destruction, the vast majority of the time against other citizens not even the state... (do I have to say /s?).

A solution ripe with all the drawbacks and dangers of vigilante justice (misidentification, no due process, excessive violence, unrelated crime being masked by the mob, etc).

I've always known politics was a mind killer but I never thought it could reach new levels of absurdity.
Love the design. Nice work guys. Are you going to be selling leads based on tech info as well?
I agree. See "as a military project".
It's insane that we might reach a point where people install different branches of a project based on their political leanings...

I think the main takeaway here is that a Code of Conduct, while valuable, has to be treated carefully. A lot of these projects agreed to a Code of Conduct just to appease a certain faction of their devs, and are now seeing that it can be used against them.

any evidence for that first charge there? There have been some well documented collusion between elements of the police and far right wing types in Germany. AfD is also winning local elections there.
Your proposal doesn't scale and doesn't apply in general. Neither Rust nor Python enforce high-level data structure integrity (e.g. transactionally pulling data off one queue and stuffing in another). A team of 100 programmers will get this wrong. Big try:except:log:continue is the exception (rimshot), the rule should be to abort().
Not to pick on you but this is the sort of question that click baity articles generate because they don't actually explain the context, only the scary bits.

Unless you are living on the permafrost then you won't see a problem. When people and livestock have been killed by sudden outpouring of gas it has been in situations where something else constrained the mixing with the regular atmosphere, or if you are in the path of the dumping of a large gas reservoir[2].

Generally the dumping of these gasses back into the atmosphere will not be the thing that kills you.

> there is no fundamental reason why launch from Earth by linear acceleration to escape velocity of 11.2 km/sec should not be possible

ok... even if you build it 5km in the sky, a 1km long launch rail would still apply 6,000 Gs of acceleration. Good luck designing a spacecraft that can survive that.

I dunno, having family I would actually prefer to have my own time for at least 30-60 minutes per day without disturbing.
Russia is part of Europe, Russia invading other countries in Europe is presumably a threat those countries would be highly motivated to address. The US keeps forces there and defence commitments because we're afraid of how Europe might act to protect itself if we weren't there, and because we want other countries in the region to feel inclined to accommodate US interests. (In both cases, “Finlandization” is an applicable concept.)
Copying my previous reply:
Comparing with Wappalyzer and BuiltWith, here's why we think we have something different (and maybe better):

1. WhatRuns detects fonts, Wordpress plugins and themes (tens of thousands of them).

2. Ability to follow sites (and know what techs websites started using/ditched).

3. Very lightweight compared to our counterparts, and arguably better UI ;)

4. More accurate data. BuiltWith can be very inaccurate as you might've already noticed. Wappalyzer is fairly accurate, but limited in technologies. WhatRuns is trying to be the best of both worlds.
It'll always move to "who you know" for the most desirable jobs regardless of industry. The top 5-10% are going to look exactly the same when you have a large number of resumes.

Especially very early in the career. A new grad will have top school, top grades, but one will have worked at McDonald's and the other at Burger King, a third at Wendy's. With people looking so similar, you'll need to decide on less meaningful stuff like who's recommended the applicant and trivia questions. One job I applied to had 1000 resumes, interviews for 100, full day interviews for 25, and hired 2. The 2 had family members who were CEO/Chairman level clients to firm.

For tech, there has been amazing amount of entrepreneurship where meritocracy rules, but for the big organizations it will be "who you know".
Yes, if you advocate specific acts of violence to an audience that you reasonably believe will carry out those acts, that might be illegal speech.

This strategy, to get rid of some sunlight, doesn't fix our problem with CO2. In fact, it's likely to make the problem worse.

Our planet has two primary natural methods for lowering atmospheric CO2. One, natural weathering, is not impacted with this strategy.

The other, plantlife, is absolutely affected. If you were to take 10% of sunlight away from Earth, then it logically follows that plants would get 10% less sunlight to convert CO2 into starches and H2O into oxygen. The resource you're trying to constrain, in the name of fighting effects of rising CO2 levels, is the very resource you need in order to fight rising CO2 levels.

Sure, blocking or deflecting some light might lower Earth's temperatures temporarily, but you'd exacerbate CO2 levels semi-permanently.

We, as a community, need to come to the realization that our CO2 problem is not strictly a temperature problem.
Why are there so many knobs in GarageBand?
Well, there were a few times in the last few hundred years of warmer global weather. And those coincided with good economic times for humans. Perhaps global warming would be detrimental to other species more than humans, as humans adapt well, particularly to more pleasant environments.
Of course it wasn't profitable, it was promotional. Compare to marketing budget for TV ads and such.

That seems a bit of a long-shot. I'm not sure if it is less likely than us causing our own extinction, however.

I don't watch a lot of movies, and I recall even fewer, but there is an appropriate line in The Matrix about how a human can be smart but humans are pretty dumb as a whole. It seems to be remarkably true.
Sure, people died as a far downstream result of a bunch of cars polluting a lot more than they supposedly did. The effect is far enough downstream that it's not really relevant.

I disagree. Your approach just leads to buck-passing and cover-ups as corporate actors get into the habit of dumping costly externalities in the public's lap while pocketing subsidies and profits obtained through deception.

Guessing the cost of the externality requires estimating the excess pollution emitted by each vehicle model, the mortality incidence associated with the pollutants, and the sales volume - very easy for automotive production executives to acquire and correlate, an economic analysis they would be expected to perform anyway as part of their job.
Are the emission standards in the US equivalent to those in Germany? From what I recall, the US has tougher standards. Granted, the cars will still be polluting, but they aren't technically illegal; in the US they are illegal to use.
It was the first Total Solar Eclipse to be seen over North America since the 70's...
There is absolutely no evidence that this fork will gain traction, because it contributes nothing new technically, so it's unlikely we'll reach the point you mention.
Obeying the traffic laws is your responsibility, not the company's.

Otherwise the next time the CEO asks you to destroy the competition you'll say that he didn't specifically told you to not actually take that literally so it isn't your fault that you shot a guy in the head.
As an american who lives in Germany, this couldn't be farther than the truth from anything that I have seen. I have seen much more racism and bigotry in my homeland than anything from the west to the former east. There exist bad elements in all societies; what I have seen is that German society as a whole has learned and tried to better themselves from the atrocities of their past - while it is unfortunately still strong in America.

My best friends come from the "neo nazi" working class hotbeds of Leipzig and Dresden. I have never ever seen anything like you mention, ever.

I'm all for exploring solutions, but I also wonder about the behavioral economics at play when people "feel" like a geo-engineering solution is inevitable.

In other words, how much does believing we will inevitably engineer our way out of the problem keep us from making the hard choices that may be necessary.
yeah, me too. I even saw it _in_ the U.S., but I didn't see American nothing, I saw an astronomical event that has nothing to do with borders.

That is rather egocentric to be honest. It is just a solar eclipse that happened to be visible in the U.S. this time.

> One moron carried out vehicular homicide and is being dealt with appropriately by the law. If he hadn't carried out those actions though I'm sure your narrative would be the same.

The government needs some reason to claim some movement "terrorist" and suppress it, otherwise violation of freedom of speech will not be tolerated by ordinary people. "If he hadn't carried out those actions" government would have to wait until either "left" or "right" side does something similar.

> I hope both groups are suppressed in equal measures, and I hope those carrying the hammer and sickle are dealt with as equally as their comrades carrying swastikas.

The point is to make people tolerate suppression of groups based on their ideas. Then you only have to chop both sides equally by silencing the most active activists as "extremist" until there are no "radicals" and all political parties look the same.
> Because of Pax Americana, most people can't even grasp the concept or seriousness of, say, a neighboring nation dropping bombs on your city just because they want your territory.

Because of “Pax” Americana, many people have a vivid and direct understanding of a remote nation dropping bombs on your city because they aren't satisfied with your internal politics, even though they don't want to be bothered with the general burden of governing the territory.
If they are German citizens, then the German constitution prevents the state from extraditing them (to a non-EU country).

Being 11 years old isn't an issue because the chess memory observation is interesting data.

That's true. There may be some help with the new Android HAL stuff, but the older phones are probably out of luck because the chipsets might be obsolete and thus not need new drivers to be released for them.

That said, RPi still has one or two binary blob driver holdouts as well, but I agree there is a world of difference between them in this respect.
A mandate from Apple to provide and obviously display an "unlock everything forever" option in-app purchase would go a long way.

I'd imagine pre-Internet conversations were just as "sad". The main difference was you couldn't "show" what you were talking about. Nowadays instead of verbally describing a conversation with a friend, you'll just do a screenshot dump.

I would consider myself an ally, but I am afraid to weigh in on these kinds of discussions because differing opinions are so often manipulated into "hate" and "toxicity."
Perhaps this is because my coffee rush ended and I'm currently in the post-coffee slump, but I don't follow what you're saying.

Extremists, particularly those demonstrating or inciting violent (hopefully) illegal actions, should be reported to all applicable authorities.

It should be up to the law, applied to all with equality, that decides the eventual outcome. In a short term it may be more useful to monitor the activities and determine bad actors that should also be removed from society.
It's an interesting case, and the photos are nice. But it's important to read the last paragraph of the article:
