Give funding and recognition/status to large organizations (groups of at least 100 researchers) that produce good work, without naming names except perhaps in truly exceptional cases. Refuse meddling from outside incentives that break the organizational abstraction barrier (prizes, fellowships, grant proposals that with individuals named on them, fellowships or grant proposals that stay with individuals across organizations, etc.). Create alternative structures that recognize organizations that are producing results with fame and fortune.

Note that by "organizations" I don't mean "universities" or "institutions". Departments should probably be treated separately, as different departments within an institution can easily drift in terms of quality. Meanwhile, it should be possible recognize collaborations of researchers across researchers as an entity: if the collaboration wants to support a researcher moving between institutions and wants to keep supporting them, that doesn't lead to the same flaws, I think.

If you're already always using the laptop on a desk or table with a stand because it's too awkward to use, you know, on your lap... then just get a real keyboard to go with it.

I use an external keyboard on my desks at work and at home, but at least I can put my laptop on my lap and still use it on-the-go, too (which I do on a daily basis).
If the intent is to fight chargebacks, then a false signature seems even worse. A signature that isn't remotely similar to the cardholder's seems less likely to be successful than a blank signature, and presenting such a document may well be fraud.

That's actually a violation of the cardholder agreement, FYI.
I love weird input devices. This is ridiculous, of course. I mean, who regularly types IPv6 addresses by hand, even if you work with them? They're too long to get right if you're hand-typing them. They're too long to memorize (except localhost, but that can be shortened to ::1). IPv6 addresses just don't make sense as a thing one would type.

A hex number pad, on the other hand, has some utility! I sometimes write music in a tracker...hex is the standard way to specify numbers (historically because it made more efficient use of the display area and because trackers used to be a relatively thin layer over generated data for an assembly player routine), so having a keypad just for hex would be really neat. I dunno if I can justify having an otherwise useless dongle, but I really do find weird input devices and keyboards charming, so I'm tempted.
How does monotheistic religion differ from other cultural elements/social constructs that allow the formation of organizations that resist accountability?

I would say that all organizations allow concentration of power, so that is beside the point.

Given that other social constructs have this weakness also, wouldn't that mean that the decline of religion would have no effect on the expression of the evils of human nature?

Back in the days when you could replace the batteries on most phones they would be badly obsolete and unsupported in 3 years. Even today it's a bit iffy on spending the $50 to replace a battery in a 3 year old Android phone.

A camera won't become obsolete nearly as fast. Assuming the cops shoot in HD today (it would be really dumb if they didn't) then that will still be HD tomorrow. Maybe not 4k, but honestly I don't think 4k brings a lot to the table at this time in this application.

Not that object-oriented languages are particularly good at it, but defining and using abstract data types in C is a pain:

(0) Forward declarations are the only way not to explicitly reveal the representation of types, but you have to pay an indirection tax for it, whether you actually need indirection or don't.

(1) Without heavily abusing the preprocessor, there is no way to express the fact that two abstract data types expose the same interface.

(2) Again, without heavily abusing the preprocessor, there is no way to make common algorithms work on abstract data types that have a common interface.
Really interesting.

The relevant bits for people who don't want to click:

>Utah, like a number of other states, has a provision that stops the clock on the statute of limitations whenever the potential defendant is out of the state. In legal terminology, stopping the clock is referred to as “tolling” the statute of limitations.

>Weinstein was out of the state of Utah for most of the 1997-2008 period, since he presumably visited the state usually just for Sundance. That would probably amount to less than two weeks a year in state. While he was out of the state, the statute of limitations clock would have been paused.

>Is absentee tolling against a easily locatable defendant constitutional? Maybe not. The Constitution’s Commerce Clause — not usually referenced in criminal cases — might provide the basis for a challenge. Indeed, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that civil absentee tolling placed an undue burden on interstate commerce — and therefore violated the Commerce Clause — when applied against an out-of-state corporation that could have been sued before the statute of limitations ran out.

>Lower courts have extended the ruling to also protect out-of-state individuals from tardy civil suit... Criminal law may be a different matter.

>“I am not sure whether the Commerce Clause analysis would apply the same way to a criminal, as opposed to a civil, statute of limitations,” said University of San Diego law professor Walter Heiser, who has written on civil absentee tolling. “A State’s interests in deterring and punishing criminal conduct may well outweigh any concerns about the effect on interstate commerce.”

>Yet, in a 1941 case, the U.S. Supreme Court did indeed use the Commerce Clause to invalidate a California criminal law, an “anti-Okie” statute that barred relocation of indigents into the state. However, that crime was inherently interstate, whereas rape is not. But Weinstein’s trips to Utah were for business purposes; he was engaged in interstate commerce. That’s a lot of “on the one hand” and “on the other hand.”

>Yet another Supreme Court precedent is adverse to Weinstein, a 2000 case that struck down portions of the federal Violence Against Women Act. The Court held that the “non-economic, criminal nature” of such violence took such assaults outside the ambit of the Commerce Clause. That narrow view ignores the economic aspects that many say is inherent in all oppression of women but, ironically, could mean that absentee tolling would survive and Weinstein would lose.

>Or a court might be swayed by the intertwined nature of Weinstein’s economic and alleged criminal activity. After all, his alleged victims and his Sundance visits were work-related. A court might decide that under those circumstances, the Commerce Clause could indeed come into play and hand Weinstein a win.
Not that C++ is particularly good at data abstraction either.

> Not true for me. Most good developers I know like to share their knowledge and opinions via different channels.

You measure extroversion there. Good introverted developers exist too - in fact developers be more introverted then general population (there are stats on that). So do very good shy or humble developers. While real developers are on average nowhere near the nerd stereotype with social anxiety, plenty good developers are a bit like that (They dont talk much unless they know you a bit).

> WTF! why is not documenting stuff acceptable where you work?

What does that have to do with blogging? I said they dont like writing. I did not said they don't write documentation or comments when needed. How did you managed to twist "not liking to write" in context of blogs to "maintainable software"?

For that matter, real documentation, the one that is targeted at users, is written by technical writers mostly. Developers job is to explain it to writer - it is mostly that docs are more then full time jobs and good technical writer are really better at explaining stuff.

>

How did you managed to twist "measure skills and contributions instead of projecting cool" to "doing the same thing dozens years"? Seriously.

The worst developer out there is is the one that does not do tasks that he does not like. You seem to treat it like the norm and assume that if someone does not visibly loudly jump up and down then he is going to slack it or something.

I don't think it is possible to know everything there is to know about application servers in three years. There are many positions that require neither breadth nor depth and that is fine. If you are in position to mentor people just a year after you entered the field, then the field is too easy and new. I mean, of course any good college graduate can do big data or artificial intelligence. Why would not they? They are best equipped to do math heavy things and they are already adults. Ability to confidently bullshit after 3 months of learning is not the only way how to be a good developer.
For years I've ignored the signature field on the back of my credit card and put "SEE ID" instead. In the event the cashier actually checks it, they'll be prompted to check my identification. I've been asked for ID in this way probably a dozen times, in as many years.
> the court itself later acknowledged that.

It's been clarified but not overturned.

To expand my point for clarity:

In their own words commercial Consumption and commercial Production are both commerce. Remember, if he had used less than 11.1 acres there would have been no problem so this was significant production and significant consumption.

"Whether the subject of the regulation in question was 'production', 'consumption', or 'marketing' is, therefore, not material for purposes of deciding the question of federal power before us...[b]ut even if appellee's activity be local and though it may not be regarded as commerce, it may still, whatever its nature, be reached by Congress if it exerts a substantial economic effect on interstate commerce and this irrespective of whether such effect is what might at some earlier time have been defined as 'direct' or 'indirect.'"[4]

In other words, the fact he was Producing wheat or just Using wheat does not side step the issue. He was both a consumer and producer of wheat and thus clearly impacting the wheat market. That final bit just means picking if was a direct or indirect impact does not matter.

Now, I and others may not agree with the interpretation. But, it's not so crazy as to be a clear mistake.

Which is why I said farming wheat in such a way that it is separated from the market aka not harvesting it, would have been a useful but different argument.
> RFC 7159 not only specifies that all of the digits carry information, it specified exactly what information they carry.

Can you quote? I don't see where it does, except by reference to common knowledge.

But I should clarify. There are several inefficiencies in JSON numeric representation which may or may not be considered significant by an application. The ones I can think of, in order from "obviously not" to "well, maybe":

1. the case of "e" vs. "E"

2. the optional "+" sign after "e" or "E"

3. presence/absence of decimal point and/or E-notation (shouldn't make a difference, but does in many parsers, such as Python's)

4. the value of the exponent itself (e.g. 3.14 vs. 314e-2)

5. "-" sign in front of any number with a value of 0 (IEEE floats and ones-complement integers do have a negative zero)

6. excess trailing 0 digits after the decimal place (may be used to represent significant figures in scientific applications)

7. digits of lesser significance (obviously the most contentious)

JavaScript ignores all but #5. Python ignores all but #3, and due to #3, sometimes #5 and #7. PostgreSQL `json` ignores none; `jsonb` ignores all but #6 and #7. Personally I would draw the line between #4 and #5. But neither the RFC nor the ECMA spec tell us.
A shift on another keyboard wouldn't work with the buddy tab key, right?

Don't the modifier keys need to be on the same keyboard to function?

And conservatives often make this argument against SCOTUS putting itself into a policy-making role.
I wouldn't say it's "the exact same mistake", but rather, the usual thing that happens with technology: you ship a first version, feel out where the drawbacks are, and iterate.

There has been some discussion about making things more declarative, if this is ultimately the right approach, etc. But you have to do something before you can know for sure what the problem space entails.

In our case, one of the largest uses of build.rs is to link to things written in C and C++; there's no unified tooling there, so if you wanted to make some sort of DSL to handle this, you'd have to also solve that problem, which is a huge undertaking.
You can if you use a virtual credit card such as the one I was CTO of (Entropay / Ixaris).

But ID and password are not necessarily 'better' by many important metrics including ease of use and security, eg is entering such info into a PoS terminal, or your phone near one, easy and safe? At your desk is less of a challenge.

Most states don't have such a requirement. And when it's implemented, it's usually intentionally designed to prevent poor people from voting. Requiring an ID is fine as long as it's free and easy for everyone, even the most disadvantaged, to get. In practice, that's not how it is though.
Recently, someone posted a complaint about a Halloween costume that was a wall. That got the perpetually outraged group in motion, of course. One user said she would punch anyone who she saw wearing such a costume. Twitter banned her.

So, things may be changing slowly. It isn't easy for some folks to see faults in people who agree with them. I notice that when I stand up for something on the political right, I'm often assumed to be a member of the right. If I point out a problem with the political left, I'm often assumed to be a member of the political right.

It's very binary and people really aren't always objective. But, there are instances where this is changing. Some BLM members were recently banned because of hate speech and suggesting violence and some AntiFa have also suffered the same fate.

It takes time but it does appear that they are being more honest with their enforcement.

Of course, you still have the group who will try to interpret things as other than written. There are people who see -isms where none exist.

On this topic, it has led me to trying to coin the phrase, 'If you seek umbrage, you will find it.' I've seen another person quote it, so it may be catching on slowly.
