ML for the Working Programmer is my favorite programming book! It's fantastic because it is serious and goes into great detail about practical matters in working with SML. Its treatment of SML's module system is without match. It contains generally useful chapters on the implementation of streams, persistent functional data structures, parsers, and proof systems. My favorite thing about the book is its emphasis on designing correct programs. And the cover's pretty cool.
I think it's meant to be taken as the number of times you get to change your portfolio.

Thank you Google.
Up in Detroit (I have family there) almost everyone talks about 75 (I-75). Down here in South Florida (where I live), it's always I-95. Just "95" sounds strange to me, as well as "I-75".

I guess it's what you grew up listening to.
If you spent $10k+ on facebook or google they'd assign you an account rep. That rep likely wouldn't be much help, but at least you have a name and an email for when something goes wrong.
If there are job listings in your area for that salary it's market. I pay myself $80k. When I get audited it won't be for that.
The following articles may be of help:

Despite claims in this thread that Google likes to do things without due process and clear guidelines, the reality is that something like an account deletion is both pretty rare and not done lightly (you'll see that in some of the language in support articles and T&Cs related to this course of action). Product managers and engineers put a lot of thought into how to identify accounts that only exist to provide content that break TOS vs a case like this.

In this case, it's not clear if it's the YouTube account or the Google account that has been flagged for deletion (support articles suggest there is a distinction). Either way, support articles indicate that rationale for the action taken would have been provided to the user.

With regard the "how to escalate?" issue: The company still struggles with corner cases like this. When you're building systems that cater for billion+ users, you have to look at systematic ways to deal with incoming requests such that the set of requests that need human intervention is as small as possible (assuming you don't want a company with millions of employees). At the end of the day, it's a balancing act and I personally feel that Google's approach is sane. Unfortunately that means a small number of users do get a bad experience.

Disclaimer: I worked at Google for over a decade. I am aware of some of the process and legality decisions that go into how these type of things are structured internally. I did not work in the area of abuse or policy.
They also try and reveal controversial stuff early so the public can digest it before the event. And I'm sure they have a bunch of people working the social media trying to explain why them taking a feature away isn't such a bad thing leading up to the reveal event (I bet the removal of the headphone jack was deliberately leaked .

> I think all of those who concluded that he was being a misogynist have no leg to stand on. The accusation is levied just to silence views that are not liked.

I strenuously agree with your overarching point. But I have a more charitable perspective about the accusations of misogyny. I think that many, many women have had awful and in many cases traumatizing experiences in the world of tech. A lot of people associate opinions like Damore's with the bad behavior they have seen and experienced. They see these kinds of arguments as being part of the same phenomenon; men who hold opinions like these are the same kind of men who would talk over women in meetings, dismiss the achievements of women, be less likely to promote women, pay them less, harass them, etc.

I think a lot of people (women especially) felt an extreme and visceral reaction to the memo, because they intuitively made this association that these sentiments were related to their bad experiences. And while I strongly believe that the accusations of misogyny were unfair and misguided, I interpret them charitably as an attempt to push back against what they interpret as sexist behavior. They are trying to support the women around them.

This is IBM finally beating Sun over control of enterprise Java - something they've been fighting for for well over a decade (and much closer to two). IBM has been trying to get the Java process away from Sun - and they even backed an IDE to compete with NetBeans.

Eclipse... of the Sun (Microsystems).

Apparently, Oracle has finally gotten tired of IBM (through Eclipse) saying "we can do it better" and trying to manage it and said "ok - you can do it."
Probably because employees are asked not to post on topics that could be controversial or where they are likely to only have a very small part of the picture.

Anything, so long as your e-mail address is on a domain name you own and you back up your inbox via IMAP. If both of those are in place, you're not really dependent on your mail provider at all, because you can switch just by changing a DNS record. If you lose the use of an e-mail address on someone else's domain, then you've got a serious problem.
If speed is the only consideration. I used to love wireless charging at night, because when I was done reading and sleepy, I just had to set down the phone, rather than plug it in. Now I hope I remember to charge it before going to bed, or first thing in the morning if I have time.

Anyway, I finally found something after searching a bit.

I grew up on a few Aussie properties, and some of them had no numbered address. Road Mail Box numbers seem to be pretty common now, but back then it was more like "Bindabundee Homestead, Bindabundee Road, NSW".

For one place I don't even know the road name, because nobody used it officially. It was just "the Snake Track", and everyone on that road had their mail addressed to the post office, which was really a general store with a few PO boxes, and we trusted each other not to take mail with someone else's name on it.

An organization has developed a semi-automatic process that is consistently flagging documented evidence of various nations committing crimes. Human employees of that organization, when looking at the flagged documented evidence, are consistently deleting it. Assuming these humans are competently doing their job, they're following processes that were authored by the same entities responsible for (which is not the same as the implementers of) the machine processes.

I'm pretty impressed and blown away honestly that Apple chose to support Qi wireless charging over coming up with some proprietary nonsense. This might be the killer feature that finally gets me to upgrade.
How to Sell Anything
I have AirPods and don't have an iPhone, they work with other devices with Bluetooth just fine.
People keep saying fingerprints are all over the internet but I have seen no actual proof (1) how you can steal an iPhone fingerprint record (2) how you can use this data to generate a fake fingerprint sufficient to open the iPhone or even (3) copy a fingerprint off of the outside of the phone and open the iPhone.
I find that NYT comments accurately reflect the heavily liberal bias of NYT's reporting. Although I don't think that's wrong, I think there's room for constructive debate about the articles -- perhaps hosted on a different site.
> When having multiple files open that are really long;

I've not used Atom so I'm curious to what you mean by this.

Firstly, what would define a really long file. Is a file with 10k of lines long?

Second, I would have though the ability to open lots of files would be a rather common occurrence for any programmer working on a large code base.

What happens in Atom if you have 30 files open?
Yeah, my photo ID had the right address because I had affixed a badge mailed to me from the DMV to the new address with the correct new address printed on it. It's a legal requirement to have the badge affixed to the driver's license after 30 days from the move date.

I think if I had attempted to apply for this service at my old address, it would not have been a problem. I applied for this service around the 30 - 45 day mark after my move. I suspect the post office may be incorporating their historic data (which includes my old address) or possibly they are integrating their mailing system with DMV data (which may itself be out of date due to timing issues in data integration).
Sounds awesome! Can you link to such an example on ifttt?
You can just replace the icon? There are many "fan" made icons out there.
Every implementation has a stats target that gives byte counts, LOCs, and comments that is specific to that implementation. I.e. from the top-level you can run the following to get stats for every language:

make stats

or for more condensed form:

make stats | egrep "Running|total|comments"
I think the lack of imitation is because people don't actually like OSX UI, other than people who are simply accustomed to it, or who like the idea or the fashionable commodity luxury appeal of Apple products. If people actually liked it for qualities divorced from brand or narrow experience, those of that group who had deeply held FOSS beliefs would have had any number of widely used workable imitations by now.

Apple UI is bad. The belief that it is good is largely religious and a result of branding.
And there isn't a single worthy watch brand in the entire world, including all their entire hundreds of models of watches, that sells as well as the Apple Watch.

Why do people assume that deniability results in more whacking?

Technology can easily be used to encrypt a hard drive to reveal different things for different passwords. TrueCrypt does it.

Plus you can have cryptographic keys stored with friends or beacons that signify you are safe. For example you hide files on your phone before a flight, and to unhide them you need your host's wifi at your destination.

Until the friend or beacon gives the ok, you can either have your phone LOCKED or have all sorts of files that are encrypted and HIDDEN. The computer can be unlocked but won't show those files.

Why isn't this technology widespread? YOU CANT WHACK EVERYONE!
I have yet to see a single Android phone where this actually functions correctly. We will see if Apple did a better job. It's not who is first, it's who makes something that works reliably.

I also would recommend Ullman as a first book on SML, and this one when moving toward bigger projects. I still use Ullman as a reference because I know it covers every essential feature in the language in an elementary way.
> They don't have time to dwell on what went wrong.

But damnmit the bigger issue and what I'm really mad at is people protesting Police abuse! /s

It's absurd how skewed this country has become in the "Police can do no wrong" mentality.

When spoken in the abstract people are quick to say of course there is corruption and things can be improved in policing. But when it comes to specifics or even specific instances popular opinion and the justice system never fails to side with the police.

And no, it's not just the conflict of interest for prosecutors that's at issue. We have a serious issue with the role of Police as public servants in this country.

The (deliberate) pendulum swing to overly idolizing soldiers post-Vietnam, the declaration that police were now in a war against an inanimate object (drugs) including equipment and tactics, and the "otherization" / racial aspect have really made a perfect storm that is has now begun to spread out to society at large.
I actually created something like this (free) last year - not as nice interface but more targeted at personal subscriptions like Netflix, Gmail etc. https://sublid.com
Not sure what that even means. I watched the keynote, decided I'll probably buy it when it comes out, had a few minutes of banter here on HN, and that was it. Then back to real life for the other 22.5 hours of today. :-)
Exactly. Experienced users know to use mod-broad. Same with facebook - when building an audience the interface looks like you're using AND logic, but only a tiny checkbox will enable AND logic, by default is OR and presented a deceiving way. (They also enabled insta and fb by default, and used to do fb display network by default too).
I do it every day to transfer photos, update calendars, etc. - the wireless sync is very unreliable.
The steps and main files are the same for every implementation (that's part of the requirements for merging into the main tree). Some implementations have additional files like readline, utility routines, etc. But for the most part the general structure and file divisions are very similar.
I think one thing the author needs to look at is the number of females trying to enter this field. When I was studying there was only one female in all of my computer science related papers. But loads and loads in the papers that overlapped with the chemical engineers. Many of the female chemical engineers did a lot better than the bulk of the CS students even when the assignments involved coding. But it seemed that most of the Engineers performed better than the CS students

I don't think it's that females aren't good at or don't have natural abilities equal to men when it comes to programming but for what ever reason (that I don't care to speculate on) programming is not an attractive career option to many of them.

So I think this point is a little off

>>At this point, anyone already familiar with the normal distribution is probably having a sensible chuckle. This is because while Google might be selective in their hiring practices, they aren’t +4 SD selective.

Because there is just a much smaller number (at least in my experience) of female developers. So if one company is 50-50 male to female they would have a disproportionate number of the total population of female developers.
Like when you used to have buy your compilers.
I am guessing this had something to do with Steve Jobs no longer being there. More freedom for choosing technologies.
The article says no such thing.
"It works" isn't necessarily a great barometer for truth even for direct applications of theories. Ptolemaic astronomical models actually worked pretty darn well, even though they were based on a geocentric universe.
Internet commenting, wherein people use modern technology for group communication, facilitates the top two, possibly the top three levels on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The base layer accounts for physiological needs like food and water, but past that base layer of physiological necessity, human beings need interaction with other human beings in order not to be a robot. Things like friendship and familial connections, which are are facilitated by social media such as Facebook.

And, really, what is Facebook but Internet commenting on baby and cat photos of people you are related to in some form (by choice or by birth).

If we accept that humans are social creatures, and social media is able to connect people, then it is possible to say Internet comment sections are able to fulfill some needs that people have. Displaced football fans working far from home may not be able to find a local group that also supports their home team in a far away place, but there's a digital clubhouse for the displaced fan's home team somewhere on the Internet.

This may not satisfy a need like food or water, but people organized into geographically-based, sometimes tightly-knit communities before the Internet. That modern technology allows us to organize into loose-knit communities through the use of "Internet comment sections" is to realize J.C.R. Licklider's dream of an inter-networked computer system.
On the topic of thread collapsing on HN, I honestly can't believe they still haven't fixed the performance issue. It's not noticeable on small threads, but go to one with thousands of comments (like the iPhone X one), and try collapsing. I've seen threads with noticable 1-2 seconds delay for every collapse.
I get your pain ... the Verilog Synopsis integration party took about a decade to get over, and at $20K+/seat, it hurt to have to shell out for 2~3 independent-but-each-necessary licenses (as an indie).

But, for JetBrains, at $200/seat/year ... as an Indie making anything more than $150/hour, why would you even worry about it?

EDIT: I'm mostly a vi guy, so I don't really know my ass from a hole in the ground w.r.t. IDEs. It's just ridiculous to me that a professional might complain about a $200 tool being expensive. But, your constraints are not my constraints, so I'm probably being overly judgemental. And, for that, if I am, I am sorry.
