This seems to be part of a PR effort on the part of people making the app-creator apps.

Apple is cracking down on spam apps, in which someone creates dozens or hundreds of nearly-identical apps. That's why the notice says "Your app provides the same feature set as many of the other apps you’ve submitted to the App Store, it simply varies in content or language."

So if you're a company creating one app for each of three dozen restaurants, yeah, but that's spam. Solution: each restaurant publishes their app under their own account. Problem solved!

But that would remove lock-in by the spam vendors, so instead they begin a PR effort.
I'm a white man too, and I don't understand what it means to "elevate" the rest of the population without white men having to change their ways.

There's a strange Marie Antoinette quality to this discussion. The young queen just wanted everyone to be happy -- why couldn't the poor eat cake too? It's the same with men who sit on top of the present power structure and can't seem to understand why everyone else couldn't simply do the same.
I'm married and was in the same situation a few years ago. My SO moved with me - she didn't wait. There are some positives from your SO not being able to move out until later in the year.

The first 3 months of a job can be tough. Adding a new location means you have things changing at work and at home. You're adjusting to everything. It can be easier to do this when you're alone since you can de-prioritize certain things. For example, you might have to stay late frequently in the beginning so you can onboard faster. It's easier to do this if you are on your own and don't have your SO who needs support because they are also adjusting to everything new.

When this situation happened to me, I realized in the first 30 days that the job environment had been totally misrepresented and was horrible. We had moved from a low/medium CoL area to a high CoL area. My spouse had moved with me and was looking for work. The move had been tough because we had to downsize in a major way. We were tired, frustrated, and struggling to wrap out minds around the vastly increased CoL, even though I had gotten a solid salary increase. Then I came home and said "This job is awful, I made a mistake." Since the company had moved us with a clawback, the money had already been spent and we would have to pay it back if I left.

We both realized that moving together had been a mistake. I had to be onsite, but the company that hired me had given me a year to move my home. I could have rented a studio apartment and moved/purchased just enough to live a basic life. Then I could have easily switched jobs or moved back without thinking about the clawback or all the energy we had put into moving. I ended up staying in that job until the clawback amount dropped enough that we were okay with paying back a portion. I hate being away from my spouse, but what happened was far more stressful for both of us.

Don't take what I say as a warning about your job. I provide my experience to say that there are positives to moving alone and having some of that risk mitigated by your SO having a secure base where you are now. If you are committed to each other you'll be fine.

The key is to find a cause to help in which you truly recognize the blessings/fortune/privilege/opportunities you have.

I've volunteered with animal shelters, geriatric hospitals, youth sports, and with veterans. Animal shelters were fun because I love animals, but they didn't humble me like working with veterans and the elderly. Every time I work with those groups, I learn more about life, and get insight into ways I could change how I'm living to be a better influence on society. I think that's the key - at least, that was the key for me.

Would you please not respond to an unsubstantive comment with an even more unsubstantive comment? We're hoping to go in the opposite direction here.
Yea you are right. They seem to have used the following logic

"Lost Labor-Force Participation Means Lost Economic Activity" Chart 1 .

" women’s participation
has also declined, to just 57% this year from roughly 60% in 2000." Chart 2.

They seem to have correlated those two charts to come up with that figure. " Pregnancy
Discrimination Act of 1978, gave women greater freedom to
work outside the home" is their explanation for higher rates in the past.

Interestingly though men's participation rate seems to have fallen more dramatically and seem to mirror women's trend exactly from 2000.

> Hey only mention US and norway which used to employ women in the work force at the same rate, and now they don't and had different growths in the GPD.

While we’ve singled out Norway, many other countries provide meaningful contrast to the U.S.If we were to look closer to home, Canada offers an example where women’s participation picked up dramatically a few decades ago.

I looked at canadian participation rate for women[2], I don't see "picked up dramatically" , perhaps I am looking at it wrong.

It's a nice thought, but the mental health angle seems pretty thin on the ground here. The article eschews any actual mention of illness, clinical psychology, or psychiatry, and the volunteering-specific evidence it cites is preliminary at best.

One interesting thing is the mention/citation that helping other people being built into a job doesn't seem to have similar benefits. Another study found a similar difference for the psychological benefits of physical activity [1]. I imagine there's a significant cultural bias in the Protestant(ish) Anglosphere against "leisure is good for you", though.

Currency
A currency in the most specific use of the word refers to money in any form when in actual use or circulation as a medium of exchange, especially circulating banknotes and coins. A more general definition is that a currency is a system of money (monetary units) in common use, especially in a nation. Under this definition, British pounds, U.S. dollars, and European euros are examples of currency.

I should note that these are things good leadership does in general, not just management - it also applies to technical leadership as well as management.
I sometimes like to explain things the other way around. Immutability being version control for program state.

I rarely use functional programming but I certainly see its appeal for certain things.

I think the concept of immutability confuses people. It really clicked for me when I stopped thinking of it in terms of things not being able to change and started instead to think of it in terms of each version of things having different names, somewhat like commits in version control.

Functional programming makes explicit, not only which variables you are accessing, but which version of it.

It may seem like you are copying variables every time you want to modify them but really you are just giving different mutations, different names. This doesn't mean things are actually copied in memory. The compiler doesn't need to keep every versions. If it sees that you are not going to reference a particular mutation, it might just physically overwrite it with the next mutation. In the background "var a=i, var b=a+j", might compile as something like "var b = i; b+=j";
This suggests a poor abstraction.

Oh, so this explains one of the worst intersections in Berlin. I always wondered, why there were no street signs etc. at Checkpoint Charlie, one of the biggest tourist attractions here. After reading/watching the article and researching it online, it seems that it was converted into a "shared space" in 2014/2015, shortly before I moved to Berlin.

It might be just a bad implementation of the concept because you have a little vision into the other streets at the intersection, or because it is such a crowded space at any time, but the status quo is utter chaos. I've personally seen many near-accidents there, and I go out of my way to avoid it.
Of course this comes back to the complexity. Creating a very basic pixel art editor is essentially a weekend project. A 3d editor not so much.
honestly it's bananas. I can't for the life of understand how such a poor form over function decision was ever made by an engineer. the number of bugs (>0) this introduces into production code every year is reason enough (imho the only relevant metric) to prefer braces. are block delimiting braces really that onerous???
The number is "growing" to give Duterte and his friends justification to ramp up and continue their mass murder campaign and allow them to continue convincing the brainwashed masses that they're in constant danger and need their "protection" from the evil drug zombie hordes.
> There's no certificate, role, set of tools

The original agile manifesto didn't have a certificate or set of tools either. There is plenty DevOps tooling, andI've little doubt that management types will hijack DevOps for their own gain and offer certifications. It'll probably be easy for them, since there is no single 'DevOps', everyone has their own idea of what it means to them.
Could be added to detect who is scanning with this list. Akin to mapmakers adding fake streets.
Due to the complexities of race and politics in this country your idea could have the opposite effect. Two specific examples come to mind:
The multiple successful fundraising efforts by George Zimmerman. (Not sure of the legalities of citizens arrest but I believe he was effectively acting as law enforcement as a neighborhood watch member)
A recent FOP (Fratenal Order of Police) fundraiser in Philadelphia for a officer who had been fired for shooting an unarmed man in the back.
There is a significant population of people in this country who will support police either because they believe the victim should have been killed regardless of circumstances or simply because they blindly support the police and always give them the benefit of the doubt
> Bitcoin is not the technically best solution in this incredibly exciting field. It's not even close.

Just curious here: What would you say are technically better solutions than bitcoin?
Their entire high IQ sample comes from Mensa. So this should be restated something like "Inclination to join Mensa correlates with mental and physical disorder"
And the store of value vision is built on the idea that it'll be possible to convert BTC into any other currency at any time.

The other way around: If you can't buy most stuff with it (the case right now) and can't convert it into your everyday currency (maybe happens if the exchanges suddenly go down for some reason, even only temporarily), what's the value of Bitcoin?
Taking on technical debt isn’t necessarily a problem, zero debt methodologies are the worst! The ones that acknowledge debt as necessary and so deal with it are much better.
Denouement, in which the author is not rewarded:

The old Web services have been shutdown after 1 month and half since my first contact with the CERT Nazionale.

I wonder how much that flaw would have fetched from a malicious actor?
I've met plenty of incredibly intelligent people in my life, and very few mentioned Mensa. Those who did had a yearning for being recognized as smart or exceptional. Perhaps using Mensa membership to draw inferences about smart people in general isn't statistically applicable. It could be that people who want to be recognized as smart have those mental issues, which other smart people don't.
No it wasn't. It's 99% a copy of Bitcoin with small configuration file differences. It is configured for one order of magnitude more transactions, but it provides no architectural scaling innovations. It's just like Bitcoin -- can only be used at scale as a settlement layer.
didn’t Godel and Turing and Church and Heisenberg definitively answer this question in the affirmative for most of the first half of the 20th century?

There exist an infinite number of questions of the physical world and in math alone that one can ask, whose answers are “we cannot know within the context of these axioms”.

Somewhat by definition, these questions are generally somewhat uninteresting, but there sure are a lot of them.
"And if there is a resistance that would place your life in jeopardy, then by all means shoot and shoot him dead. That is my order"

To defend the people is one of the basic duty of all police here and abroad so what's wrong with that? That's the message of the first article that you linked.

Of course he will congratulate his men about putting their lives on the line for you and others. Plus of course his usual rhetoric (did you take that seriously?)

We all want those policemen found guilty of crimes to be in jail. But did you ever think of who will replace them? You want the military to uphold the law just like back in the martial law days in the 80's? We have a deteriorating police force for a very long time but thanks to Duterte there are a lot of new recruits today. I see them training every day on my way to work.
And they believe that because a team of police will descend on you if you don't pay your taxes for long enough. You can even get your whole country messed up if you make too much noise about switching oil denominator from USD to something else.
If you have admin access, you could install whatever keylogger you want, so IMHO this is a moot point.
Just because there are videos and it happens doesn’t mean they happen enough for cops to be afraid.
What do you mean when you say that's a rhetoric? How does that make it ok when he's saying he wants to be like Hitler and slaughter 3 million people?
I used StarLisp on the Connection Machine 1, and it was such a good fit for using the hardware. I didn't get too much time on that project, but StarLisp let me work offline on code before getting access to the hardware.
> A data structure cannot be functional. I understand what he's trying to say, and agree with most of it, but the word "functional" is purely wrong. What he wants to say is "good". But not all "functional programming" is good, nor is all good programming functional by necessity, despite what your local Lambda The Ultimate nerd tries to tell you.

Why is it that whenever functional programming comes up, "real programmers" come out of the woodwork to bloviate, only to expose just how little they actually know about the topic?

"Purely functional" in this case is a jargon term that relates to Okasaki's 1996 PhD thesis, available online (https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/theses/okasaki.pdf). It's a classification for data structures much in the way "regular" or "context-free" or "turing-complete" serve as classifications for grammars.

For a data structure to be "purely functional" (and no, article author does not mean "good" here) simply means that it's implementable in a pure functional language without mutation. Examples of non-functional data structures would be ones where mutation is intrinsic to how its algorithms work: traditional linear probing hash tables, union-find for graphs, etc.

By this technical criterion, the git object graph is clearly a purely functional data structure, sorry.

Part of the reason why the US has such a low rate of female labor force participation is because it is the only country in the OECD that doesn’t provide income support during maternity or parental leave by law. A 2013 study by the Pew Research Center found that 27% of mothers said they had quit their job at some point for family reasons, compared with only 10% of men.

The US is on a very short list of countries that have no national paid maternity leave:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/jul/...

The actual assertion in the article is a simple matter of doing the math:

If women entered and stayed in the workforce at the same rate as they did in Norway, the US economy would be $1.6 trillion larger than it is today, according to economists at S&P.

I cannot fathom why this is even being questioned, but perhaps that is partly because I have read a lot on such subjects over the years. Yes, we know for a fact that you can create policies and practices that raise female participation in the work force. This was done very consciously and dramatically in WW2 to fill factories with women workers while the men went off to war. At that time, they frequently had on site daycare so moms could see their kids on their breaks. I sort of have firsthand experience with such an arrangement and it makes a huge difference to be able to see the kids every couple of hours and not just leave them for 8+ hours straight.
Do you feel the same way about Photoshop? Society seems to have adapted to that just fine, despite the misuses.
> here is the typical trajectory of a formal methods researcher

That's a programming language theory researcher. The vast majority of formal methods research is done neither using dependent types nor lambda calculus (and the vast majority of formal tools are similarly neither based on types nor on lambda calculus). However, I do agree that practitioners (i.e., programmers) who become interested in formal methods through functional programming, tend to miss out on the vast majority of progress in formal methods, which isn't related to functional programming at all, and indeed, is normally done in formalisms other than the lambda calculus (which introduces problems related to the common use of higher-order functions, which make some of the clever automation methods harder to apply). They also become familiar with equational reasoning, which works well in pure functional programs, and aren't aware of the more generally-applicable (and arguably more useful) assertional reasoning, which works well even in mainstream imperative languages. They may be aware of assertions, but may not know that their use is actually a formal method of sorts and is an application of Hoare logic.

> Better autmation means dramatically better SAT solvers (modern SMT solvers are heavily reliant of SAT solvers). It's just unclear where 10x, 100x, 1000x speedups in SAT solvers should come from. We don't even know how to parallelise SAT solvers well.

The problem is worse: we don't even know why SAT solvers work in practice at all.

> In the absence of dramatic progress in SAT solvers, what can we do other than tinkering with dependently typed languages and their relatives?

Well, much of formal methods research is done in the field of abstract interpretation (which forms the core of most sound static analysis tools). There is still a lot of interesting progress to be made there. Separation logic is an example of such relatively recent (and important!) progress.
It's not just me. It's just not a good organization to stand behind to focus on the demilitarization of the police. It's too racially motivated to gain popular support.

"Black Lives Matter is an international activist movement...that campaigns against violence and systemic racism towards black people... The U.S. population's perception of Black Lives Matter varies considerably by race... former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, meanwhile, has accused it of racism." [1]

Ya even at Apple during the end of the Jobs era, Bertrand Serlet, the head of software engineering would go through top and find processes that he thought were using too many threads (instead of lib dispatch) or using too much memory.

At that stage Snow Leopard was already a year behind schedule for what was meant to be a free maintenance + performance release.

So I’d agree that it cuts both ways. A good manager knows to trust his employees.
Maybe you are right and it would be technically feasible to bump the block size limit 2x, then 2x again and maybe later 2x again... Basically every time people demand extra cheap block space for their transactions someone would have to lead the charge and coordinate a hard-fork (probably with a lot of drama). But then we (as a community) would set a dangerous moral hazard there and be like the U.S. Senate increasing the debt ceiling limit every year or so.

For reference this is a year-old article from Gregory Maxwell, a prominent Bitcoin Core developer, explaining his view:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/438hx0/a_trip_to_t...

I think Greg is right. And at least this scaling situation puts a lot of pressure on Bitcoin blockchain and accelerates whole ecosystem to quickly develop and deploy layer-2 solutions like Lighting Networks or parallel 2-way-pegged solutions like sidechains. Which is in my opinion a good thing even for the price of hampering Bitcoin growth in short-term.

And from technical point it is beneficial that Bitcoin Cash folks forked the chain and will experiment with their own scaling solutions. It will be interesting to watch future technical developments on both sides.
That you have to pay taxes to the US gov't in USD, and you have to treat all transactions as if they were denominated in USD, gives it intrinsic value. But if the US gov't were to print USD indefinitely and destroy people's expectations of its value, its value would correspondingly collapse--aka hyperinflation.

If you want a challenge, try explaining why the Somali dollar still held its value despite being a fiat currency that lacked a government to back up its value for well over a decade.
