We later found he was acutely OCD and a perfectionist, which I've since come to find is common in DBA's. He HAD to change the column names. He quite literally couldn't stop himself. Changing it in dev, QA and staging wasn't enough for him, it was an all or nothing proposition.
"just so you feel better"

I want people who have committed atrocities to face justice, which is an issue of morality, not a 'feeling'.

There are absolutely some murders who don't need a day of prison, and possibly not a lot of mental health help and would not be a 'risk to society'.

For example, I think that letting those people into society who have committed crimes - merely because 'they are not a threat' - is 'disgusting'.

Running a successful restaurant is -hard-. There are so many things going in, such a complex system with variables that change - sometimes within days - that sometimes I'm unsure how anyone actually runs a successful restaurant.

Otherdays, when I go visit a few friends places and see how things are organised, it's amazing how smoothly things operate.

But those same people, I know from being there with them, are constantly under stress, and have broken down to me after a few drinks after hours.

I once read that McDonalds for many years sold burgers and shakes basically at cost and made almost all of its profits on french fries. This seems to be a fairly common practice on high volume stores. I know that bars typically make next to nothing on food in hopes of making it up on alcohol sales.
Also I imagine that particular path of simply sending the framebuffer is a highly optimized one.
The problem is that opportunities for the type of people who would make that choice are largely disappearing anyway. So it's not UBI vs. trade school and a job. It's UBI vs. a massive underclass of angry, desperate unemployed people.
A lot of people are going to jump on this comment and say something along the lines of "change your lifestyle and you can afford one".

That's not the problem here.

House prices (in my location) have risen from 4x the average annual salary to 10x. Like the above commentor, I'm better off than most and I can just barely manage to scrimp and save enough to enter the housing market, by buying the parents home at a slight discount. There's not much more I could sacrifice.

I have a huge advantage on the average Joe for a number of reasons and am still struggling. Sure, it's possible for me, but it's not possible for them. And that's the problem.

I encourage people to look at this problem as something that needs to be solve and not an assault at their ignorance or character. Instead of assigning or deflecting blame, perhaps it's best to just be aware of the implicit biases in technology and using "historical data" to predict the future. That is, relying on historical data and assigning values to predictions as a result may be harmful to the growth of those negatively affected by such values. Especially when we have far from perfect knowledge and so many of the "sources" we rely on are also inherently biased.

I agree in the sense that it’s lazy writing. But have taken it to be cultural, not racial, in the sense that technological biases against white men (regardless of the identities of builders of said technology) do not threaten their identity in the same way that journalism might be threatening to powerful men in an age of massive social change. But I’m not a white man so that’s just my projection. It would be good to see a list of AI projects or UI patterns or tech startup trends articulated by white men that feel threatening to their identity to round out the larger conversation around bias.

I've been working professionally with Rust for a year now. When I got over the first wall, it has become the best tool I've had for creating backend applications. I have history with at least nine different languages during my professional career, but nothing comes close giving the confidence and ergonomics than the tools Rust ecosystem provides.

Firefox, especially the new Quantum version is awesome. But Rust as a side product might be the best thing Mozilla brought us. I'm truly thankful for that.

> This is something I've wanted on all computers for a while: fundamentally, any computer where you can get access to the whole screen's buffer means you can fake a logged out screen asking you to log in, or any other number of phishing attacks.

In Windows, I can render the whole screen, so I can put up a fake login dialog. To some extent, Windows users are used to requiring a ctrl-alt-delete before being prompted for a password, but there's no reason why I can't put up a static image of what the screen looks like during a password request. Having a portion of the screen which an application is forbidden from accessing would solve this, but the requirement for full-screen applications that want to write every user-visible pixel means that there's fundamentally no way to prevent this attack.

Transforming a fairly stagnant industry?
I would like to think this as well, but the issue is complex.

I think the fear comes from 2 things.

1) Think about the children of the wealthy, if you are born with a trust fund you essentially already have a UBI. These children tend to grow up and do well. But the pressure on them to produce comes from family/social expectations. These children really DO have serious problems understanding the value of money. The "spoiled rich kid" is a real thing.

2) Now take that same "spoiled rich kid" and put them in a family that doesn't expect anything from them. Without the social pressure associated with the upper classes, will they have the incentive to work as hard?

I think UBI experiment would be interesting. My guess is that 1/3 of people would work just as hard at jobs they hate, trying to get ahead and "play the game". 1/3 of people might still work, but slightly change the course of their lives towards professions that gave them more fulfillment because the need for money was less. But 1/3 of people will absolutely optimize their lives to work as little as they possibly can.

There is nothing wrong with that. The movement towards "minimalism", "tiny houses", and frugality is already in full swing. But lets not delude ourselves, it would absolutely result in lower GDP.

Which is possibly a good thing, allowing humanity more time to adjust as robots take all the jobs.

It's not surprising. If the goal is to engage in a true dialectic and come to either a shared truth or an exploration of how our different axiomatic values can arrive at different well-reasoned conclusions, then - surprise - it turns out we don't even have a communication medium that is well-suited for this.

Debates, televised or on stage? They have time limits.

Free-wheeling verbal exchanges? They still have time pressure, in that they are synchronous. And like debates, there's also a linear aspect, where it is easy to forget about tangents or branches of thought.

Essays? They lack interactivity; form and presentation is prioritized over the true content of the argument.

Discussion boards? They are largely immutable, and worse, they are hierarchical - it is still vulnerable to "spreading" since you cannot collapse branches together.

What is needed is a communication medium that is asynchronous, that prioritizes argument content over form or presentation, and that follows a graph-structure form. We don't have that. It doesn't yet exist, outside of mathematical proofs. A system that loosened and adapted those principles for non-specialists to comfortably use could change the world.

(A lot of people have tried working on this, me included - there are plenty of examples of "argument graphing" and the like out there, but none have really proved workable yet.)

Excellent critical thinking takes time, the willingness to revise, and the ability to track. Focusing on speed in the short term just slows things down in the long term.
Paying a fee makes economic sense. Open sourcing Android is an (rather successful) attempt to expand market share at the initial stage, considering that Android phone makers such as Samsung and LG already have established brand before the Android hit.

The fee Google's paying is for these established phone makers to distribute Google apps to a large market. The deal Google made with these companies is probably not as simple as "I open source Android <--> You distribute my apps for free" although these two things seem like a trade-off from a developer perspective. It seems, to distinguish itself from Apple's ecosystem, Android advocates for fair competition and its "openness". Google will get unfair advantage to all the other Android app developers if they get to distribute their app for free across Android devices.

The truth is, unless they are all Richard Stallman, all these companies open source stuff as a business strategy rather than from a pure good will.
>>>Then your experience is limited. There are people with skills and a good education who can't find work, because employers don't want them. Some of them are computer programmers.

I am aware, my comment on retraining is that most times when I am involved in a conversation about Job Displacement enviably people respond by claiming everyone can just be retrained as a programmer.

As a programmer and sysadmin myself I am fully aware of the current state of the Job market for IT workers both on the operations side and the development side. I also know right now if a programmer can not find work it is often because they are unwilling to relocate to a market where the jobs are, and I am not just talking Silicon Valley which IMO is about the worst place to look for a job as a Dev right now.

>>>The purpose of Basic Income is to allow people to survive while they don't have work, and to increase their incentive to find work or at least do something productive, without having to worry about losing their benefits

The purpose of Basic Income is to provide people a basic income to cover the necessities of life including Food, Shelter, etc. Allowing them freedom to persue other economic opportunities that will provide them with a higher standard of living,and to take some economic risk including possible starting small business or working for higher risk employers with out having to worry about their rent or if they will eat that day.
I have not spent much time studying basic income, but I'm sure the topic of inflation must be addressed. What's the current thinking on basic income having an effect on inflation?

Oh yeah MTAs are a nightmare.
On the other hand, focusing intensely on "critical thinking and argument" is detrimental to the purported goal of debate as a civic institution - rather than a high school sport - which to educate, seek truth, and ideally come to common ground either via persuasion or compromise.

K-heavy policy is kind of the extreme opposite of that, increasingly meta arguments where no one ever has to concede even a basic model of reality to the other side. I didn't like it as a debater, and I had a dim view of it as a judge, especially from aff side.

(These frustrations had me drift towards group disco and student congress after 2.5 years in policy.)

Coding style as a failure of language design
There's some interesting discussion about this very topic happening on /r/rust right now: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/75hzk5/the_whole_web_...

A particularly relevant bit:

> For the case where the CPU would have painted a single pixel, WR will certainly use a bit more power than CPU rendering with a compositor. For the case where a large portion of the screen changes, CPU renderers might miss their frame budget spending > 16ms drawing a frame, where WR will complete that task in 4ms.

> We might light up part of a GPU for longer than compositing would have, but we just saved >12ms of CPU compute. The power hypothesis is that the saved CPU compute consumes more power budget than the extra GPU compute we added. If there was no further JS code to run (app is idle) then we can go back to idle state after 4ms, instead of after 16+ms.

The Mill grant-based model is semantically quite similar to capabilities, but it associates protection with the accessor (thread/turf) rather than the access (pointer/capability). This lets us preserve the size of a pointer, which no one knows how to do efficiently with capabilities.

The difference between the two models is visible when you pass a graph structure across a protection boundary. With caps is is easy to pass the whole graph, and hard to pass only one node. With grants it is vice versa.

Ha. I remember this. My co-worker was trying to do the same in .Net, but while he was looking the Lucene port to .net was well underway, so you were probably 6 months to a year ahead of him.

I guess all I can say is that you are a pioneer. Most of the special things in Java eventually get ported to .Net.

Maybe this is not brought up because this is not a universal problem. In the two metro areas I am most familiar with, Houston and Detroit, plenty of my millenial peers can afford and do in fact own homes. Admittedly, these are often starter homes well outside the urban core. But owning a single-family home close to the city center is a fairly delusional goal regardless of income, in my opinion.

I wonder how the 'psychological novel' which was supposed to be invented in James' The Portrait of a Lady (1880) (according to the article) is distinct from, e.g., Crime and Punishment (1866) (or Notes from Underground, though I guess that was a novella so it doesn't count). Is Portrait of a Lady more psychologically focused, or is the way it treats the psychological content somehow different?

"sometimes doesn't". I gave myself wiggle room precisely for the few standouts.

My experience of Frankenstein, though (if that's what you're talking about with Shelley) was that it was almost (almost!) entirely ineffective as horror, and is held up mainly by a couple of really good chapters that basically lacked anything horrific or frightening. If I'd approached the book without preconceptions I'd not have been likely to firmly categorize it as horror, I think. It's more like a Greek tragedy with a shifted setting (which is more than hinted at in the full title) and even the other members of that category that contain monsters aren't usually considered horror. I'd probably have placed Frankenstein outside of horror, as more of a Greek-mythology throwback tale, had I lacked the existing bias of "Frankenstein is a horror-genre thing".

I would never open a restaurant in Portland, just for the following reason. A couple of ladies went to Mexico, got interested in how the old grandmothers made such good consistent tortillas and followed them around to try to pick up and learn as much as they could.[1] They then came back to
Portland and opened up a burrito shop. Cue protests and cries of cultural appropriation.

If in Portland, that can happen to your restaurant on such a flimsy reason, AND they're increasing minimum wages by 20% on such a low margin business [2], the value proposition quickly changes from "risky gamble" to "credit score suicide".
