On the other end of things, I think the libel laws in the US are actually way too weak. The impunity with which the news media tells outright lies that are highly damaging to people's reputation is alarming and dangerous to public discourse.

CNN and many other outlets had headlines and articles saying that James Damore claimed that "women are biologically unfit for tech work". I can't imagine a more malicious and intentional misrepresentation, rising to outright fabrication, of what Mr. Damore wrote. Yet because Mr. Damore was a public figure (at least with regards to what he wrote), he would find it near impossible to succeed in suing the media corporations and others that smeared him with vicious lies, even though those lies are a major part of how he became a public figure in the first place.

As for the case the EFF is writing about, I wish they would have explained the actual defamation and false light allegations. I suspect that with that information, the EFF's argument wouldn't seem as obviously correct as they portray it. Or perhaps not, but the glaring omission makes you wonder.

EDIT: I'd like to add that monetary damages isn't necessarily the most important remedy for libel. If CNN had to have as their top story for a whole day an apology to Mr. Damore and admission that they lied, I think that could be an adequate remedy.
The A380 was a bet on hub-and-spoke (Emirates is the biggest A380 operator, with all flights going to/from Dubai), while the B787 was a bet on point-to-point.
The redesign is merged and available via `nix-shell -p nixUnstable`. It isn't so much an issue of merging, but calling the new version stable. We're working on it. No definite timetable though.
I've installed both without issue. It might be a headache long-term because of libs and installing things in both systems, etc. Just make sure you know which comes first in PATH.
FYI, the pre-contact New World had civilizations with governments despite not having grains.
There is a lot of electronic structure in c and c++. For SMP there is psi4 and Orca also Garnet Chan has a new python C++ package. Then some widely used integral code generators generate c or c++ (libcints, Libint2)

On the parallel front MPQC has been around a long time and is C++.
The same reason many big systems still use COBOL: it works, it's well tested, why change it? Usually they just run it as long as they have hardware they can run it on...
And there you go again, trying to justify something I disagree with so completely and utterly that it's difficult to avoid an argument.
Being a programmer, it's extremely likely that @jschwartzi was already trying to be consistent in every way he knew how, and every way that mattered to him.

Bringing up a random and surprise way to make something consistent in a code review, for reasons not already written down and agreed upon in your team's coding standard, should generally be deemed inappropriate.

I recommend codifying the axes of consistency in your org's coding standard and style guide -- that's what they are, after all. Make sure everyone agrees. If a new consistency rule seems important after multiple similar PRs, it should go through a process where the whole team discusses whether it should be adopted into the style guide.

In my experience, "consistency" is one of those abused opinion-principles. Everyone has a different idea of what it means to be consistent. Some consistency is a great idea, but in general, appeals to consistency that aren't already in the coding standard should be prioritized lower than simplicity, and lower than whether the code & tests work as designed.
I have no idea what you're talking about.

With my 2016 MBP, the USB-C connectors have had no mechanical problems. I plug in various dongles, connectors, and USB drives every day. I'm left wondering what one needs to do to physically break the ports – I'm not very careful!

While I agree that we must hold specific people accountable for their actions, atrocities cannot be carried out in the scale they were in Africa without the support of the societies that these individuals hailed from. In fact, the very racist viewpoints that contributed to the horrific actions didn't just happen by default; it is the host societies which held these views, and these individuals perhaps only took it to the most extreme conclusion.

I agree that Geopolitics is complicated and don't really agree with applying "karma" to societies and nations, mostly because its not very constructive. But one has to admit that the facts do seem to paint that picture.
Is there a minimum required kernel version? How does it compare to proot?

We use proot in our build pipeline and it would be interesting to look into alternatives.
The streaming versions of poi (SXSSF) should be really fast if you're working with large documents.
Arguments in good faith do not require source disclaimers. That's the very definition of good faith.

"potential conflicts of interests makes people ascribe negative intentions or deceptive motives to you (even when not necessarily the case) if they discover it after the fact."

This is, in my experience, nonsense.
The only thing disclaimers add to a good faith discussion is the ability of people to do exactly what you claim they'll do "after the fact", during the discussion. Please stare at any comment with a disclaimer from a group people don't like (uber, for example), and count how many comments are about where they work instead of their argument.

IE They are upset they turned out to agree with someone that belongs to some group they don't like, or whatever.

It is also against the very definition of good faith you describe to do that kind of thing "after the fact", regardless of who you are. The fact that you believe disclaimers are necessary to a good faith discussion means you aren't actually having discussions in good faith.

I'm fairly certain the launcher is an app itself.
I would say learn C first, but only if you really want to understand how computers work. Assembly is too hardcore.

C is worth learning just until you understand malloc and pointers. Know about garbage collection, memory allocation, what an array really is, a lot of the low level efficiency stuff. You'll understand how strings and hash tables work.
...which is remarkable because the email providers are the ones who are keeping the accounts open.

All they need to do is internally maintain a list of dormant accounts (as defined by not connecting to read email in some period of time); send a series of warnings to those accounts; stop accepting email for those accounts; at some point, delete the accounts and let mail bounce. Document the policy and the timeline.

What am I leaving out? Oh, forwarding accounts. Let the user mark them as forwarding accounts and change the "dead" heuristic to spot when all mail sent by the account's rules is bouncing.

I suppose that might cut the statistical boasting a bit (12 billion active users!) but at this point nobody has any sympathy for marketing departments anyway.
When it collapses.

Much of the strife in Syria is caused by the damming of the Tigris and Euphrates in Turkey. The drought causing much of the farmers' fields to dry up, rural wells to dry up, and the resulting migration of peasants to cities (who can't handle the newcomers) caused much of anger underlying their civil war.

>Also, the young ones have less opportunity costs. Failure is comparatively cheaper for them.

People keep saying this, and it's simply not true.

I spent about a decade on my company, give or take, getting serious-ish when I was 25 or so.

If I had taken 10% of the cash and opportunity cost I spent on that failed venture and stuck it in a whole market index fund? or in some real-estate? or really any other conventional investment, I would be pretty well off now. If I invested 30%? I would be able to retire now.

Compound interest is an incredible force, a force that is strongest when you are young. As a young engineer with a good starting salary? you are uniquely positioned to win through passive investing.
It’s partly the power of library authoring that is moving things I think. To my knowlegdge most post lapack tensor algebra is all C/C++ also. I don’t know Fortran but I am not sure if it has the same flexibility when it comes to generic code and things like writing things like template expression math codes.

Finally the fact that groups like Facebook and google are writing their machine learning code in C++ shows that 1 they find it useful and 2 plenty performant. This kinda became a response to the comment above yours sorry.
If Julia gets more popular, it is very likely that other Julia implementations will get developed.
Man... wild. I sincerely have no idea what is bugging you, whether it was something I said or something in one of these articles. I'm honestly interested to hear why you're responding this way. I am open to a point of view that contradicts mine. I'm wrong about things as often as anyone. But it feels like you might have misunderstood something along the way and taken it personally? I don't know, feel free to clarify, if you want to discuss this. If you don't want to discuss this, how about we just stop and let it be?

It sounded like you thought the code reviews article at the top of this thread, and the optimism article that I linked were contradicting each other? Is that what you meant by strategic speaking not making sense after reading both of these articles?

As far as guides on how to communicate, I'm not sure what you mean about it not being normal. I can't even count how many best-selling books on communication there have been. Learning how to manage programmers is largely about how to communicate. Learning how to be a better programmer is as much about learning how to communicate with your manager and team mates as it is about learning programming language features. I spent 20 years in school learning about ways to communicate. I've since spent 20 years coding for corporations of various sizes, and all of them have had both mandatory and elective classes on communication. Learning communication styles & pitfalls seems absolutely normal to me. In my opinion, breakdowns in communication are the single largest problem in software development, and probably the single largest problem with the human race. I'd speculate that someone who thinks learning how to better communicate won't help them at all is most likely unaware of history and also frequently failing to communicate effectively.
Standing while working on your terms vs. standing on a crowded bus or subway are totally different things. You aren't really burning calories standing either, it is just time spent in discomfort. I don't think someone who actually has to stand a hour a day on their commute would actually say this (and better to take a bike at that point).

Obviously, it is better if the subway car or bus is just totally packed so you can just lean on your neighbors (a unique advantage when living in china, I guess).
Both choices are equally infantile, so whatever =)
Yes and no (mostly yes). Ideally, you have /nix/ where everything gets installed, then folders with symlinks in your homedir (one that builds your workspaces and another that versions them) with an environment variable in your bash_rc to hook you in.

You can put that /nix folder anywhere, but you can no longer use their binary package caches and it will recompile everything. This is because they hard-code paths for dependencies during build time.
> but I believe western style environmentalism is quite a stretch.

I don't think so. In fact, it might be a great opportunity if we were able to create a system that would allow for accountable steps towards environmental protection. One reason why western societies work so well is that despite having more taxes and regulations, the tax revenue are generally used judiciously and the regulations followed in good faith by most participants. This just doesn't happen in many non-western countries, where corruption is more common. But just like the World Bank provides funding for specific infrastructure projects, perhaps this can be extended for environmental projects as well.

The issue with normal alloys is more so having to handle contraction. With an alloy that expands as it cools, while bubbles may still be an issue, you no longer have to worry with working out how much the alloy will contract.
I hadn't read the Wiki article about inerting systems up until now. It's interesting to me that the prediction is interting systems will prevent 8 of 9 expected wrecks in the next 50 years.

I'd argue that modern aircraft are safe especially after you factor in how many hours these things fly compared to the number of deaths. Of course, air travel has become significantly safer over time. Check out the early history of 727 hull losses. While the 747 had a number of poor designs (especially early on), the deadliest 747 wrecks were due to pilot error (e.g. Tenerife).

There are no hard and fast rules for the configuration. I've travelled on aircraft where the top deck was business class and others where it was premium economy.
It is a bit weird but (to me) works well once I got used to it. I can see what they are trying to do and in some parts it is quite a clever form of presentation.

On my laptop (Linux, Chromium) it works fine with a two finger scroll on the touchpad - ie "mouse". I also tried space bar and that does work but most of the "roller blinds" stop halfway until the next press. All the content was readable.

To me, the mechanism does work but I'm not sure it actually improves the medium. I really am in two minds as to whether the effort is really worth it. The transitions and so on do have an impact but I'm not sure it lends itself to everyone's reading style.

It feels more like a presentation and less like an article, and that could be the nagging feeling at the back of my mind. Maybe I need to read more of these things to get a proper perspective on this form of presentation.
I know which model I'd rather go with as a passenger...
Eigen isn’t good enough? You can offload some stuff to MKL with it also.
Nix already does binary substitution. It just has the assumption baked in that builds don't do anything nondeterministic (and the Nix build sandbox removes a lot, but not all, of those opportunities; the ones remaining are things like threads, hence the slowdown).
Or they have a small cash register and just give change back to dozens of people in the line, I've never seen a bus being noticably late because of it.

Honestly some of the things mentioned in here are mind bending. I have public transport experience from both London and a small country on the eastern side of Europe, and both were efficient, fast and safe. What the fuck is wrong with the US when people are scared to take public transport because they can get robbed?

The Things Tech Companies Are Looking for in New Recruits
And yet, India and China produce all the food they need (even if India has a horrible record of distributing that food to those who need it).

I'm not sure why the Ethiopian govt. has allowed this to happen. Smells a lot like corruption.
To me, when i look at new distro, i look for how well the repo covers binary packages, i have no time/resource to build compilers/big projects. Last time i checked nix, there aren't that many packages in repo to be usable on laptop.

But the package manager itself might be a good idea for dev environments, but all the languages i use provide similar facility(not counting system-library dependencies).
Realtime Sprite to 3D Object Conversion in The Sims Open Source Reimplementation
I don't really know how to respond. Obviously it's a good idea to avoid fall into the "gun rights debate" based on how tired and unproductive it is. You've avoided this twice, so good job (I mean this earnestly).

On the other hand, the parallels are quite strong. Despite the best hopes of the wider tech community, I don't see the "backdoors create insecurity" argument having a solid basis or political merit. So we're left with a similar debate about individual autonomy, and the ability of "lone wolves" to operate with im-pre-punity.

Perhaps try your gun stance on regarding encryption? I'd detail a straightforward example, but such things are inherently bombshells because we hypothesize in extremes. The media will certainly push the same "ticking clock" scenarios when needed.

Re kernel versions: Depending on when CLONE_NEWUSER and seccomp-bpf were added to the kernel for different CPU architectures. For x86-64 it was probably around 3.16, for some others it might be even 4.3 (e.g. ppc64). It might even work with earlier versions if you use --disable_clone_newuser and avoid using seccomp-bpf filters.

Re 'proot'. I've never used it (it seems to be a configurator for the mount namespace), but nsjail seems much more advanced: cgroups support, seccomp-bpf via configuration language support, and a few more features (configs, net).

May I ask how? I don't see ads or any other obvious monetization channels.
Speaking generally — to not debate the specifics of the Damore case —what you describe as “outright lies” could also be defended as being summarization or interpretation, i.e. reading between the lines. Should Republicans be sued because they claimed that Obama would support “death panels” and “death taxes” even though he literally never said those literal phrases?
Sure but that will likely be much much slower.

Erikbye is correct, Stardust for Topo Soft on the Sinclar Spectrum and Amstrad CPC 8-bit computers.

I attribute a lot of the merit to us being mentally organized, but mostly to our producer Javier Cano (RIP), who had that magic touch for ensuring that things around him just ran smooth, always with a smile and making it feel natural. My god he was amazing.
This is one cent (as in 1%) sales tax. And it is being applied to 1 city service, transit. If all other city services did this you can expect your taxes to be in the 30-50 percent range.
Kind of. You can version your workspace, too. Updates are basically atomic. You build the new workspace (with updated versions), then under the hood it just moves a symlink to the new version.

It's got some clever fundamentals that allow for really cool (and clean) features because of it.
Yeah small and skinny matrix multiplies are an active area of research.
You could use nix the same way guix uses scheme. The lowest level operation in nix is not "run-this-bash-script" but "run- this-executable-with-these-arguments".
The buses have cameras, and drivers get ticketed for it (at ~$250 per ticket). Drivers avoid pulling over in bus lanes unless they are really sure no bus is coming.
Depends on your workload. Spot fleets may be a very realistic option for you, if your work can suspect and resume. This could theoretically more than half your bill.

He does. He specifically mentions at least one example where he didn't want to do something (I think make a new TV show) but everyone on the team thought it was a good idea so he committed to it despite not agreeing it was a good idea.
How Kotlin’s “Deprecated” Relieves Pain of Colossal Refactoring?
You could try looking into C-mount CCTV camera lenses. C-mount is an old standard that is still widely used for technical gear (or at least was back when i was doing microscopy), and is used in (some) CCTV cameras, so there are plenty of cheap but practical lenses for it.

I came across it because at one point, there was a vogue for using these lenses with an adaptor on Micro 4/3 cameras. The idea was that you'd just dropped getting on for a thousand pounds on a camera body, so couldn't afford a lens, so you'd buy some thirty quid lens from China and use that. Needless to say, it didn't take people long to realise that was really stupid.
They are willing accomplices and deserve all the blame.

A chart of age over date would show if age is decreasing over time.

It's easier to start a company now, and a changing environment e.g. internet changing benefits the young because there's less to learn and they have less to unlearn.

Notwithstanding YC age being much younger than your three lists being explained by giving them time to fail and them having lower opportunity cost, the average age of founding might still be falling.
There is too much growth and change in the industry at the moment. One might argue that growth and change are inherent to ICT, but maybe that's just us hyping our own field.

In any case, the market is moving way to fast for professional licensing. Both when it comes to total demand of coders, and when it comes to the churn in required knowledge. A licensed coder that thinks jQuery is the best way to write a web-app is not going to be hired over an unlicensed coder with experience in angular/react.
You'll have to pry plaintext email from my cold, dead hands. If you send me an HTML email it goes right in the bin.
This particular solution doesn't scale (most power isn't geothermal and we should just offline coal entirely) but the fact that we're already in the ballpark is at least promising.
> Then there is performance, it's very slow and uses a lot of memory making it impossible to use on a 512 MB vm, for example.

No, this is just a side effect of the CLI user experience being garbage.

`nix-env -i <regex>` is almost never what you want, because its semantics are to evaluate everything in nixpkgs, find the set of packages whose `name` attribute is matched by the given regex, and install all of the packages in that set modulo the equivalence relation generated by package `name` equality ignoring version numbers.

Instead, you should use `nix-env -iA <channel>.<attribute-path>`, where `<channel>` is the name of a Nix channel (viewable via `nix-channel --list`, usually it is `nixos` or `nixpkgs`) and `<attribute-path>` is a valid attribute path in the nixpkgs package set (these can be discovered by running `nix-repl '<nixpkgs>'` and tab-completing).
What are your predictions based on?
Very cool! Awesome job
I've been using nsjail in production with good success lately. It's a solid tool.
