I disagree with their interpretation of users having "a greater number of distinct friend communities" as signifying something as simple as "diversity" (see hypothesis #7). While it's related to diversity, it's more of a measure of how cliquey and/or segregated the user's different community groups are, and might even be thought of as a measure of segregation in the user's social environment.

Funny that the word "diversity" would be used for this.
> I would like to see western governments treat Chinese censorship as non-tariff barriers to trade when negotiating trade agreements.

Considering the west censors also, the chinese would laugh in our face. Weren't there chinese tourists who got locked up and fined in germany for silly speech recently? Weren't we all celebrating the censorship of the "alt-right"? Didn't we have celebrate the attacks on russian "fake news"? At worst, the chinese would simply justify their censorship by labeling apps as spreading fake news just like we do.

> Unfortunately for the most part western governments seem to have the same problem as western countries in not wanting to be frozen out of China and thus don't overtly question NTBs.

There you go. You act like NTBs go one way. We also have non-tariff trade barriers. Not only that, we also force other countries to end business transactions with china due to "national security concerns".
In my experience, being "productive more quickly" has costs down the road, many times paid by other developers who inherit your decisions. I think what the person you're replying to is saying that having so called "speed bumps" on the road is a good thing, it forces you to slow down and take a look at what you're doing. Agile == fragile these days.
I personally don't find "ban the name" to be a sensible policy.

I google and LinkedIn anyone whom I'm about to interview. I want to be equipped with information to make that hour together as productive as possible for both sides.

I get that my personal preference to do homework and be prepared prior to an interview might not outweigh a societal reason to prevent that.
Right. Microcoding used to be (and still is, as an idea) radically different from emulation; today, it probably means "emulation in hardware" more than what it meant originally.
Did I say that?

No interview process is perfect, but here's what would happen if e.g. Google attempted to use your strategy of "make the interviews easier and pay people less":

Many candidates would interview at both Google and Facebook (as well as other companies). The smartest, hardest-working candidates are all able to figure out how to game the interview process and get really good at solving algorithms problems on a whiteboard. Many of them get offers from both Facebook and Google. They all choose to work at Facebook because Google's only offering half as much money.

The candidates who are less smart and/or too lazy to study for their interviews get rejected from Facebook, but get an offer from Google since Google's decided that interviews are stupid anyway. They all take the Google offer since they got rejected from Facebook.

Now Google ends up with a pool of employees selected on the basis of being not smart enough and/or too lazy to get a job at Facebook. Do you see the problem here?
Not discrediting you, but can we get a source for any of those declarations?
I have very little experience with Maven, but I find it hard to understand and restricting. Maybe I should take the time to learn the fundamentals properly and maybe I would be enlightened, but it seems to work very different to other build tools.

Example "Lifecycles" [0]. The documentation says "Maven is based around the central concept of a build lifecycle. What this means is that the process for building and distributing a particular artifact (project) is clearly defined." The first sentence just says "this is important!". I have no idea what that second sentence is supposed to tell me. The documentation goes on without a clear definition what a lifecycle is. I figure it is a kind of command. Afterall, the basic lifecycles are "default" which is "make all", "clean" like "make clean", and "site" like "make docs". I'm not sure, there is no good definition of "lifecycle" in the documentation there. Hard to understand.

Well, there is a predefined set of lifecycles and each lifecycle has a predefined list of phases, where stuff can hook into. For example, with java the compile phase will turn my java files into class files. The test phase will turn class files into test reports. Recently, I wanted to merge multiple coverage reports [1]. Turns out, this is done in a compile phase, which is reasonable. However, the reports are generated in the test phase, which is after the compile phase. At this point, I'm lost. This corset of phases is restricting me.

> What if the reason for all of these issues ... have nothing to do with men and women and more to do with the fact that when we left our tribes, villages and communities to pursue the industrial dream, we cut ourselves off from the one thing we need to be happy — each other?

Resolving the modern life vs village life tension might be the biggest cultural challenge of our era. David Chapman writes:

Systematicity was always imposed by elites. Few people wanted it, and most would have rejected it if they could. The majority implicitly mistook material progress as something that just happens, not fully recognizing that medicine and jobs and roads and food and the internet depend on vast chains of “because.” Research by Robert Kegan, a psychologist whose work has heavily influenced my thinking on this topic, suggests that roughly two thirds of Americans are unable to fully cope with the demands of systematic institutions. They are “developmentally traditional people in a modern world.”

The natural human alternative is the communal mode: unstructured, egalitarian, empathic, local, tribal, familiar, and comfortable. This mode—I’ve also called it “choiceless”—feels profoundly right. We evolved to live in such societies; they fit our psychology in a way systematic ones cannot.

The problem is, the communal mode cannot sustain life on a planet of billions of people, much less provide the material benefits, entertainment, and understanding we are used to ... We currently have no workable alternative to systematicity. This makes anti-systematic politics entirely nihilistic ... The systematic mode can, should, must be superseded—not by the communal mode, but by something that combines benefits of both. I think that is possible. [1]

Chapman thinks this synthesis is possible, but he does precious little to actually construct it: so far his work-in-progress book "Meaningness" reads more like a tentative existence proof. On the other hand, that's the exciting thing about it. Successfully synthesizing the modern and village modes of existence is a greenfield project.

For that matter, let's just not use computers at all! That's where vulnerabilities come from after all.

Apart from the error made by adding probabilities, you miss a factor 4 because your max error is only 500m, and a factor of (about (1)) π/4 because you are using a square hit region instead of a circular one, but ballpark, none of them matter.

That airport terminal is quite a bit larger, though, and the size of the blast radius of the explosion will increase the likelihood of doing some damage (significantly so for large blast radiuses. If this warhead carried a nuclear device, a miss by a few hundred meters wouldn’t really be a miss)

(1) I guess proper modeling of the error distribution will make that shape something else than a circle, but I also guess a circle is a much better first approximation than a square.

Finally, that attack may have made economic sense. That scud cost a lot less than the rockets fired at it, and showing the capability of firing at targets that far away will pin down quite a few expensive forces around targets in Saudi Arabia.
Thank goodness they were able to squeeze in those new emojis in the latest release, however!

Finding bugs of this serious nature should always be welcomed, but it should happen in advance of production release. As a result I imagine there will be some new positions opening up in the OS quality testing group, and lower management. Imagine the Steve Jobs rant that would have resulted. (shudder)

We create wishlists for each of our children (now with their participation). The overhwelming focus is on things that facilitate outdoor fun (sports equipment, hiking/camping gear, etc) or inside creative outlet (arts/crafts supplies, maker stuff, etc). For birthdays, we don't requests gifts, and instead share a donation link to our favorite local charity instead. This link, with a "no gifts" note, is included in party invitations, too.

Just be open with people and they'll usually respond positively (in our experience).

It helps that they genuinely outgrow many of their toys during the early years. I was a military wife. I used routine military moves as a good excuse to cut back on the toys and other aspects of North American Affluenza. "We have a weight limit. We can only move so much. The new place will be smaller. etc"

`kill(id, sig)` sends signal `sig` to pid `id`. `kill(-id, sig)` sends signal `sig` to process group `id`.

`kill(-1, ...)` would signal pgid 1, which would be the process group of init.

From a quick scan of the issue, it looks like maybe nix is using macOS's sandbox feature somehow, maybe that creates a process namespace of sorts and makes `kill(-1, ...)` useful?

EDIT: nvm, there's a special-case for -1:

> If pid equals -1, then sig is sent to every process for which the calling process has permission to send signals, except for process 1 (init)...

I'm surprised this isn't encountered by more people: that seems useful.
We nicknamed one of the toys are kids were given, "needy ball" because it did this. Fortunately, our kids generally prefer toys they could play with instead of toys that wanted to play with them.

You can start by googling "Waldorf toys". The Waldorf educational method is similar to Montessori in that it focus on collaborative exploration (the pot + spoon example above is spot-on).

There is a high correlation between being able to afford lots of lawyers and being accused of crimes that are tricky for the government to prove. The government doesn’t offer deals to white collar litigants because they’re afraid of the lawyers. They do so because prosecuting a guy accused of a white collar crime (which often comes down to doing something that would otherwise be legal, except with s particular state of mind) is much harder than prosecuting someone accused of having a kilo of meth stuffed under their seat when pulled over for running a light.
If you google RIE, there's a lot of good stuff in that community. I think that's where my wife picked up this bit of advice about rotating toys and keeping the available number of toys low.
Alas, that doesn’t help for presenting a simple version story to low-attention beginners:

“Ah, OK, so to use Python 2.x I should go back to Django 2.x?”

“No, Django 2.x requires Python 3.x. If you want to use Python 2.7 you should use Django 1.x.”

Someone who is considering hiring you as a truck driver, delivery driver, or pilot probably would care.
In my uneducated opinion, it seems like the nonlinearity comes from the shipping options, which can depend on the number of items bought from a vendor in non-obvious ways.
I wonder if the newness of the situation matters. At Christmas, my daughter will open and play with all her gifts. Two months later, she'll play with some toys more than others. I wonder if kids have a desire to try all the available options when they haven't had a chance to experience them previously.

EDIT: or without regular availability.
No, having business operations and assets that are international in scope is central to such strategies. You can’t shift profits around different jurisdictions if all your revenue and assets are in Oklahoma. It just happens to be correlated with being able to afford an army of lawyers.
Travis is running containers, so even if you use a i686 rustc, you still benefit from a 64-bits kernel, meaning processes still have the full 4GB of address space. On an actual i386 linux kernel, this would be limited to 3GB. Maybe it's even less on openbsd (I don't know, but technically, it could be as low as 2GB). That could explain why it works for you and not for them.

I've never noticed an uneven chapter ring! You're going to make me obsessed with staring at my watches. I'm honestly staring at mine and it looks fine. I think I can now see some lines look closer to the minute slashes than others but I don't know if that's because I am looking so hard for unevenness or what. I'll pull out the jeweler's loupe and compare it to my other watches when I get home. I think the watch would work a bit better without a chapter ring at all or at least without the sub-minute hashes. The chapter ring adds sportiness to a watch that otherwise looks a bit dressy.

I find this frustrating - the primary thing you will learn if you get academics to talk about psychedelics, is that academics don't know anything about psychedelics. Maybe it has something to do with 50+ years of blacklisting and shutting out anybody that knew anything about anything.

This is exactly the sort of playlist that I would expect an academic to find trip worthy. Heavy on the classical, nothing newer than 50 years old, no electronic, ambient, anything anybody under the age of 30 might consider cool. [Spoiler alerts, I guess?] All this shows is that the establishment is desperately trying to get a lock on popular culture as it runs away from them. Gross.
Totally understandable. And it's a sad state of affairs when that's something an average citizen has to worry about when you're talking about legally obtained and owned money.

Have you thought about a bank check? Pretty much every bank charges a fee for this. It's possible a credit union doesn't, but I suspect they probably still do. If this is a recurring transaction you do, then the fees will add up. But if it's not that frequent, this might be a good option for you. To protect yourself even further, I would fill out the To: on the check to yourself. In the past I have used "cash" to make it payable to whomever wishes to cash the bank check for convenience, but if you are just transferring between your own accounts, just put your name on it. I can't see any way an officer would be able to deposit that check on behalf of their department, even if they were crazy enough to confiscate it, which seems highly unlikely given that it's very hard to argue that such money which is going through the banking system is being used for illegal purposes. Even if it was, it's damn near impossible to prove they had any reasonable belief of that based on the information available to them at the time of the stop.
Isn't this just tautological nonsense? This applies to everything. If you have 1 friend rather than 5, you can focus and be more creative with that 1 friend than 5. If you have 1 sibling rather than 5, the same thing. If you have 1 book rather than 5, you can focus and read that one book.

Maybe we should have less schools and less "research" because so much of it seems like useless busy body work to justify academics' salaries.

And of course, such topics like these are great because it latches onto the simple-minded people's anecdotes as the comments here reflect.
That’s not really true, if it ever was. These days, officers and directors are quite insulated from law suits like that. The decision to pay more than you have to has to reach a level of just lighting money on fire, not taking less conservative tax positions.

The Wikipedia page for the book has a good description of the negative criticism of the book, and the authors are non-monogamists who wanted to form an argument in favor of non-monogamy, and they have stated as much. So it's like a researcher publishing a study specifically to confirm a theory they had rather than test for its accuracy.

The purpose of the discussion is basically to address whether non-monogamy is something people should consider - the idea being "hey, we were born for non-monogamy, so let people give it a try!". But it's modern social structures that have been limiting the engagement in non-monogamy in recent history, not our lack of a pre-historical understanding. So I think that aspect of the discussion is more important, because you can actually defeat modern social structures. You can't defeat evolution.

I would be very happy to find more concrete evidence of the sexual relationships of people 10,000 years ago! But I think it's going to take significant advances in paleoanthropology (if it's even possible) and that is probably a long way off.

“Measuring” Happiness
This is obviously a cheeky/fun project, but I'll just take a moment to be pedantic and point out that literature is entirely the wrong domain for this sort of tool. A litany of literary information is encoded in the superfluous: authorial idiosyncrasies, period styles, the intended regional locale of the characters, the anticipated reading level of the audience/familiarity with the material, meaning at the linguistic level ('meta' narrative).

While I think this tool has a great deal of potential application in domains like technical documents, texting (or other forms of communication that lend themselves to brevity) etc. I don't think literature falls into that camp.
Agree with the first part of your post.

> I started doing this in the 90s and I feel that there is a growing trend to replace judgement with process and strict rules.

Hmm, I am not quite sure whether I share your sentiment on process and strict rules. I don't mind process if it is actually one that is sensible and leaves freedom to the individual.

For example, in my experience as a developer, Scrum can drastrically improve developer-management communication. Story point estimation with estimation cards has always revealed stories with unclear scope or requirements. This requires however, that both sides actively try to improve that process.

I have often heard of people who said "Scrum doesn't work" who actually were really running a very weird subset of it (for example burndown charts and velocities, but no proper story point estimation), etc.

Amazing. Something my grandma knew without the 2 "masters".
