Ah. Gotcha.

You're right that in and of themselves, the cosmology of Genesis don't amount to much. But there's a real concern that if parts of the Bible are not trustworthy, other parts may also be untrustworthy. And a Bible you can pick your favorite parts from is practically dangerous. This is how things like chattel slavery were justified by "Christians".

There are also theological implications to editing your own holy book. You end up editing the book down to the God you want (who, strangely, thinks like you and has the same friends and enemies) instead of the God who exists. Of course, you can make those objections to the various canonical versions of the Bible. That's an interesting digression with good answers, but a digression nonetheless.

The point is lifestyle change. I'm saying ignoring this part of the Bible may not affect much there, but ignoring certain parts of the Bible certainly does. And how do we resolve the "who watches the watchers" problem? I guess you could say "only cosmological stuff doesn't matter too much" and be pretty much in line with a lot of Christians.
*macOS ;)

For me, the UI paradigms are certainly more cohesive… but most importantly I don't think any platform has the quality software that OS X has when it comes to attention to detail/usability. Like many with Sublime, I'm happy to pay for other commercial software if its notably better than the free options.

Ubuntu is probably leaner, but in an age of i7s and 16GB ram not sure that matters as much. OS X is aggressive at using what you can throw at it, which generally has made things feel faster than me, but I came from Windows in 2004.

It generally strikes the balance of what I deem the finest commercial software, with a very great open source ecosystem 90% as good as Linux. Makes for a very good dev environment, and the hardware is unbeatable (which is made possible by the software integration)

Having done development with CSR chips, AAC (and also MP3) support is shipped with the SDKs just like aptX is. AAC patent licensing may be more complex though.
If you code Haskell then you'll run into monoids all the time, and if you understand what that word means then you can write more concise and idiomatic code that makes use of the wide range of monoid instances available under the common monoid API.

You can then make sure to expose the monoid interface for users of your Haskell libraries and they'll be happier because your values will cleanly fit with the rest of the ecosystem.

If you don't code Haskell then it's not like monoids are crucial learning for a successful career. Maybe you could approach them with some curiosity and find something interesting and useful about basic algebraic structures.

But probably all these monoid nerds are just puttin' you on...

The ol' car-seat-suit trick! That's how KITT from Knight Rider did it in 1982 as well! https://www.moviemistakes.com/entry91522
I did. I left it out for two reasons:
- the comment asked for a "simpler" explanation and associativity isn't a specially simple concept if you are not familiar with it and does not really help understand the core idea of a monoid.
- in practice, monoid associativity isn't checked. Most type system aren't able to express it. Therefore, whenever you encounter a monoid you have no guarantee that it is indeed associative.

> I've been on hold with my ISP for longer than that

Sounds like it's time for a new ISP. I get impatient with XS4ALL after more than a minute or two, but then they've been spoiling me with sub-minute answering times for years. They scored extremely well in ratings, I figured they went "well we can do a little less well and save some money". Still great service -- but to come back to your situation, 42 minutes is ridiculous. Snail mail is faster at that point.
MS PGothic, a very common font in Japan, still uses this type of quote. "Quoting like this'' (double quote, then two single quotes) looks the most natural in this font. "Using two double quotes" looks quite odd (see screenshot) [1]

If you've ever seen an English-language page on a Japanese website that used weird quotes, this is probably why.

>>> at around the 1960s/1970s.

>> the U. S. began, even if just a little bit, to pull its head out of its ass with respect to equality and rights

> Please watch your tone... There are plenty of people with more nuanced opinions on gender roles that aren't bigoted.

But the opinions codified in policy prior to the 1960s/1970s were objectively horrifying.

Brown v. Board was decided in 1954.

Jim Crow was going strong in the 50's and hung on into the 60's.

Harvard Medical School did not (purposefully) admit women until '45; Princeton until '69. Title IX passed in the 70's and gender parity in university admissions didn't happen until '81.

The first no fault divorce law wasn't passed until '69.

The Equal Pay Act was passed in '63.

IMO there isn't a non-bigoted defense of -- or inappropriate tone for criticizing -- the confluence of those policies.

(Also, "watch your tone" is condescending and defensive. Unless you support returning to Jim Crow and repealing the Equal Pay Act, there's no reason to be defensive.)
Have you ever seen UltraEdit? I dare you to try the trial, actually go through the exquisite configuration dialogs to make it yours, and then to ever look back :)

This isn't as a knock on ST, which I also like, and might even sometimes prefer for pure writing or temporary notes. But it doesn't even have printing out of the box, come on. For me that's too modern.. plugins are nice, but I guess I prefer UE to ST like I preferred old Opera to Firefox.
Thanks for pointing it out! Will work on unmounting it ASAP :)
I'm on Gnome, different windows of the same application get grouped together. Useful to have the different logo, and separate from the browser.

No reason this has to require an electron wrapper, you could do it with the 'save to desktop' options, not sure whether any browser actually offers it yet though.
I found it intriguing and provacting. I searched online (but only now realised I had searched the string with the quotes which did an exact search ) and found only a handful of very recent websites / blogs.

The linked wiki page is very helpful !
The fact that they allowed it in the first place is mind boggling, the people that run Kaspersky love Russia.
Sublime just makes editing fun for me. Especially with the ctrl+d multi-selection.

When it comes to editors, there's definitely a big spectrum of how much it does vs how lightweight/simple it is, and I think Sublime Text, for a majority of my usecases at least, is in the sweet spot.

Don't get me wrong, full fledged IDEs are useful sometimes too, but every time I go to use them, I always spend half my time searching and fighting the program instead of being productive. That's what I mean by Sublime making programming fun. Things don't get in your way and everything is very clean. Sure it may do less, but at least it doesn't drown you in features you don't use either.
If you care about the truth, some peoples reactions shouldn't matter. Your described reaction will only serve to create a self-reinforcing echo chamber.

Of course it's your choice who and what you decide to debate. Trying to convince the internet you're right, however, will be an exercise in futility.
Quite a decent amount as ASICs aren't cheap, and buildings/land aren't cheap either (despite this being the cheapest region in the world for this type of stuff).

Then couple this with the fact that your profits are heavily affected by market price swings.

Not the easiest business in the world I'd say :)
That's true of the overall workforce and I don't see it as evidence of lag. I think the effect is caused by a disproportionate number of women who go to college but either don't ever enter the workforce or stop work after a few years. The cause for this is obviously pregnancy/raising children. So even if it was 50% in 1987, maybe 10% of women who studied to become veterinarians chose not to pursue a permanent career because they wanted to have kids either right after or a few years after finishing college.

No offense, but have you not been watching for the last thirty years? The US has, under Democrat and Republican alike, invaded and annihilated more countries than the rest of the world combined(1). And who are the people in these countries? Largely non white, powerless people. We literally just sold huge numbers of weapons to a country to help them annihilate their neighbor (Saudi Arabia, and Yemen respectively, which in many parts is in its death throes). I mean hell, in the last administration alone we annihilated the entire civil infrastucture of Libya.

Ask yourself this: if you are heavily invested in the idea of your society as some kind of fundamentally virtuous project, as many in the west are, isn't it possible that you can't even see that we are in a flavor of mercenary fascism that is less ideological but equally destrucive and evil?

You’re right that there’s not much to monoids. Though much hay has been made about monads, they barely rate having a name either, and you’d be surprised if they didn’t work the way they do.

That being said, they are useful abstractions and in Haskell, for example, open up all of Control.Monad[0] and Data.Monoid[1] to your code for free.

The reason they have such contempt for you is that you're NOT THEIR CUSTOMER. Their customers are lenders looking for dirt on you.

The only reason they talk to you, with overt disdain and reluctance, is the government says they have to.
No, I don't code Haskell. So is all this about monoids/monads/other-simple-ideas-with-complex-names just people solving problems in their language of choice that have already been solved in other languages, or just don't come up in other languages?
>I am appalled by the utter disregard these credit reporting agencies have for consumers

I think you're misunderstanding these credit companies. We (american citizens) are not their customers, we are the product. The customers are the businesses who use them to lookup our credit.
When recruiters / interviewers ask me whether I know "Design Patterns" I shy away. It's sort of a red flag. I could just say "Singleton" and package them a cat in an object and the interview would go on.

I've recently preferred to be reluctant about this and just tell them I really don't like these words (OOD / Design Patterns)... One interview was over really quick, while at another place, I've actually signed now. Any thoughts?

More than that, even when they discovered an interesting result, they couldn't go back and create an objective based algorithm that could return to that result... even though it was known to be possible. (I mean, they obviously knew the specific steps taken, but they couldn't create an algorithm that could re-find them with a specific result in mind.)
In my opinion, Linux desktop environments have historically been missing small but important details, like proper escape angles in menus, and comprehensive / nicely organized settings pages, adding friction to the user experience. My more recent experience with Debian and Ubuntu has been much better though.
Don't worry, the market will fix this any day now.
I'll back you on this opinion. I was a huge fan of early Google (98-04). They seemed like a noble, cute, altruistic steward of the Internet, and they did a lot of good. IMO we have to acknowledge that things have changed. The factors that made them succeed wildly, allowed them to grow into a profoundly self-interested, monopolistic behemoth with entirely too much power. They no longer even appear well-intentioned, and we ought to update our expectations accordingly.

I quite agree that it's grown a bit gnarled and tangled with optimizations over the years.

It's interesting to compare the current version to the earliest available copy of the annotated source code, from version 1.1.1, seven years ago, in a simpler JavaScript age:

Not only does the editor need to track project folders and open files, even something seemingly simple like syntax highlighting can be surprisingly complex[0]. The editor needs to be able to read your inputs (mouse and keyboard) and represent those changes onscreen just like every other piece of software. It needs to repaint the screen with your changes and, depending on the complexity of the editor, load and implement a host of features (auto-complete? bracket matching? code indentation? code standards a la pep8? updates to source control?), with every single keypress and ideally in a matter of milliseconds. All of that takes memory and different editors make different sacrifices.

Of course the extent to which this happens is the whole reason there are different editors. If all you want to do is write text with zero features, then speed isn't an issue at all and you can just write directly in your terminal to a single file with pico or something.

Whereas Sublime "just works", emacs doesn't.

But when you're on Windows, boy you have to do a LOT to get it to just work. I tried it (and spacemacs, as I'm quite familiar with vim) last month for doing some python work on Windows... I just gave up after 2 days.

Does anyone know how to effectively keep a tab on this on a docker container running nginx open source? I have an external log/metrics monitoring server that could alert on this, but I'm asking more on the lines of how to get this information to the monitoring server.
I was very confused by this. The paper linked by OP (the one I also had in mind when I started the article) is from 2012, but the article is written as if the results are recent (specifically it says from 2016! Admittedly, only five years for such a big result in that field is probably still "recent" to experts; but probably not to the "pop science" readers.

Furthermore, the lack of an actual citation was very disturbing, since if anybody did want to read the actual paper, they had to google for terms that would lead to basically incomprehensible search results.

There is some additionally complexity in that many of these can speak GSM, so have some ability to work in degraded modes. And then another round of complexity in that the CDMA versions usually can be unlocked into GSM mode, losing the CDMA functionality but allowing for more general use (but not generally 4G).

That is highly discussed issue in pedagogic cycles - how to get and keep more males. For years. The answer usually ends up "yes, but they would come only if there would be higher social status and salaries for teachers". And no one knows how to achieve that.

It is possible that money is not the only thing to keep males away, I dont recall any studies. Just that is the usual assumption. The fact that male teachers tend to come up as ironical response (nor saying you are doing this) to female-in-tech topic suggest also contributing cultural reason. Non trivial amount of people finds idea of male working with children (except coach for some reason) funny or absurd.
Pedestrians often do. For example, I'd want to make eye contact with a driver of a car attempting to make an unprotected left turn (and not looking in my direction) prior to crossing in front of it.
Google doesn't have a monopoly on any of those things though. I don't use any Google products and I don't notice any issues living a modern life. There are lots of good competitors out there. The one exception is YouTube, there is a lot of quality content that is hosted there and no where else. Plus it's the closest thing Google has to a successful social media property.
They could just use their phones or other iOS devices. I would think the number of Windows users who use iTunes and do not have an iOS device must be vanishingly small.
Considering the fact that this was published under a pseudonym (as mentioned by another comment), I wonder if the Tinder details were a bit of misdirection.

This person purportedly stole ~41 million dollars from a number of parties. Who knows who those people were? They could be some bad people, they could owe money to some bad people, or they might be angered enough to become bad people. That's not to mention the fact that law enforcement would likely be interested in this. Or maybe some thugs might like to just beat them up until they squeal?

Assuming the author is truly the thief, I wonder how many of the details intermingled with their story are false.

Imagine you're the thief. You just stole $41MM. Now what?

You know someone is gonna wonder where their money went - likely multiple people. The blockchain is a public ledger. The victims are going to hire people with expertise just like the author claimed to have in order to try following the ETH as it is mixed and laundered. That's a lot of money to launder successfully without making a single mistake. And I'd imagine a lot of people will be watching.

However, the author surely knows all of this. So why write a blog post with so much helpful information? Assuming all of it is true, we could easily deduce:

---

> tinder user, went on a date w/ a creepy guy: author is likely either a straight female, or bi/gay male, single

> bastille day celebrations outside: lives in france

>has two living parents who own a house, has an older brother who does not have a car, has a sister who is going/went to college

>has loans, does not own a house

---

That's a lot of information, and isn't even all of it. Why just hand it out, knowing you're likely a big target on a few people's radar?

I agree. But in some cases it might be nice to omit an explicit 0 or use some higher order combinator that is ergonomic just because it expects a monoid instance to be already prepared.
Then you might be really shocked to find out that criminal background checks are often done by private companies, and they don't even have to be licensed. I guess folks have a lot of trouble trying to clear up inaccuracies.

Back to credit checks, the laws are a bit weird as well. Someone can simply pay their bills - phone, power, rent, and so on - on time for years and live within their means... and not be able to get good rates on loans and stuff because they have no credit. However, if they move and forget to pay their last electric bill from their old address, they'll suddenly have bad credit because it will be reported to the credit companies eventually. There is no requirement for the same places to report positives. Oh, and I might mention the actual scoring is a secret, though they'll give tips on improving it (like making sure to have a credit card and actually use it, have auto loans, and so on).
> waving swastikas

The only reason people wear swastikas in America is because of the strong free-speech protection that this thread is discussing the erosion of. If we banned swastikas (like Germany) then people would stop wearing them (like Germany), but we'd still have the same hate speech you're discussing censoring.

> advocating for violence against Jews

That's a pretty broad standard. If a politician supports evicting Israelis from disputed settlements in the West Bank, is that "advocating violence against Jews?" The answer "Yes according to some people, No according to others." So again, I ask: who are you trusting to decide? President Trump? Congress? You personally? To be clear, the offer currently on the table is "some middle-managers at Cloudfare, as directed by the fickle hand of social media."
By the way, what about various individuals and groups that are not Nazis, but also promote death and destruction. You can see it in various heavy metal and rap subcultures. Should they be silenced?

The problem is with social networks that the network itself is the valuable basis. It doesn't really matter if we compare it to last mile or long distance. It's all about how much coverage you have. If you don't have enough you can't play the game. Even if you get momentum you will be crushed by a full coverage network like Facebook if they can't buy you (see Snap). So giving everyone coverage would solve this problem hence the comparison to AT&T.
