I don't get the name. I do the very same in my compiler but I call it clone and specialization. clone is needed for function inlining and loop unrolling, specialization is speculativly prepare type optimized variants for methods. Something the SBCL python compiler is known for since the 80ies. Or smalltalk.
I never heard the term code duplication.

Def report back if you try doing stuff with grid that works in both IE11 and up to date browsers. I'm curious to hear how it goes from someone that did it.

I've done that with flexbox, and it worked out fine for me with both IE 10 and 11, even though caniuse notes "large number of bugs" in IE11 flexbox implementation. Wasn't really a problem with my implementation. But it sounds like grid might be a different story, where IE11 implements things to an older spec with significant differences.

You can't automate everything, but it doesn't make sense from either the company's standpoint or the employee's standpoint to spend year after year doing work that an "average" programmer can do. Either the company is overpaying or the person is getting underpaid.
Because not everybody will be plugged into a 100% electronic society and will need paper for documentation and exchange of goods. At the very least we're still going to need toilet paper and cardboard boxes.

AirDrop is brilliant. I shared 10 pictures with my mother with one click. She accepted with one click and the pictures were instantly available on her iPhone, iPad, mac and Apple TV.
the only problem I have with it is that it can take a few seconds before nearby devices shows up on the sharing screen.
Yeah thats true.. but as far as I can tell that advanced fraud is at an acceptable level. That level might be 15% of traffic/conversions.. but its not severely hurting campaigns. This is a weird answer, but all the fraud/viewability/etc is priced in to some degree. So an advertiser who wants less fraud can just spend more to get high quality impressions.

The long tail is super important and you can't exclude it. How you can see those individual sites (by proxy) is through something like a supplier vendor, fold location, geo, etc.. so you can't see the site, but other factors you can bid will point to and show that fraud.

I think my point is that a skilled campaign manager can get rid of fraud, but the average marketing manager can't. That is a problem for most businesses, but also why agencies specialize in things like rtb.

A pound of force uses 'standard gravity' as a constant, even though it varies across the earth. Sounds just as bad?
> Sure, today Greenland is not very useful, but what about in 50 years?

Denmark barely controls Greenland today as it is. As with the Self-Government Act, it's most likely that Greenland will continue to gradually shift toward full independence.

If Greenland develops into anything, Denmark won't own or control it. For example if a million people move there over 50 years, perhaps seeking isolation or lower population density vs mainland Europe. It would be its own independent nation, not dissimilar from Iceland. The only way Denmark could hold onto Greenland would be through military action (never going to happen).

This is a very strange and unconvincing article. Greenland is massive; and, while it's very hard to give 'worth' to part of a country (and potentially misguided to attempt to do so in most cases), $2bn is pocket change for a wealthy country, and the potential upsides of owning such a vast tract of land are much bigger over time.

If I was offered $2b or such a large swathe of land, I know which I would take.

(The argument becomes crass anyway when you consider that real people live there.)
ipRGCs are very sensitive to UV, and kill melatonin production; so I'd love to see a source. Red LED light is fine - as long as you aren't subject to seizures. But most people with seizures have them at night and are never diagnosed. LEDs flicker imperceptibly.
> "Well let’s put down the guns and knock on the door nicely instead”

And why not? In the same situation in Europe, this is what would happen. Regular cops would confirm the situation first. And it works. Units similar to the SWAT do exist, but I've never heard of them being dispatched directly after an anymous call.

"if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail...", and well, the SWAT is pretty much a hammer in this kind of situation.
Well if you want to be realistic about it, that would be decided by the US military. Greenland is and has been a strategic military posting as far as the US military is concerned going back to WW2. Denmark has a $3 billion military budget, they can't decide or dictate anything when it comes to international politics. NATO would decide whether Denmark were allowed to do anything militarily to retain Greenland, ie the US would decide.
The reason why papyer is here and here to stay - is the frailty that software has shown again and again.

Paper survies the absence of humans, software and devices dont. Operating systems decay, reading software and devices wither away, the revenue stream drys up and soon a whole eco-system decays from a oasis of data back to the dust it came.

We know how frail and vurnerable the whole affair is, deep down. That is why we use ink to sign important contracts, that is why we store copys at seperat places. We would burn them in clay so they outloast us, if we still had a comfortable way to do so.

There is a market for durable softare there, for durable hardware, for the guarantee to withstand times tests. But in the end, it would be a lot- like paper made from sand.

Paper is an incredibly versatile tool:

1. You can cut, tear, fold, roll, crumple, burn, sew, staple, glue, laminate, etc. it, including sticking found objects to it, wrapping things with it, making it into 3-dimensional structures, ...

2. It comes in a wide variety of colors, textures, thicknesses, and sizes – if you want you can cover your whole wall with one piece of paper. Some paper is translucent and can be used for tracing.

3. You can draw/write/paint over it with a wide variety of substances with a wide variety of appearances. You can fit visible information more densely on paper than pretty much any other available medium.

4. There are many nice tools for interacting with paper, such as rulers, compasses, french curves, pantographs, planimeters, ... You never run into a case where two drawing tools can’t be used together because they run different operating systems.

5. You can easily make physical copies of electronic documents and images onto paper, easily manipulate paper documents, easily copy paper documents from one piece of paper to another, and easily put paper documents back into digital form.

6. It’s incredibly cheap.

7. The right kinds of paper stored properly last a really really long time (centuries if not millennia).

8. It is light and portable, can be stuck up pretty much anywhere.

9. It requires no batteries, no legacy systems, no software updates, no expensive equipment, no special training, ....

10. It is its own concrete physical record, which can be effectively checked for tampering and made difficult to forge at scale. (Hence use for money, ballots, contracts, titles, ...)
As much as I hate CoD and wish the issues you highlighted were limited to the CoD community, they are not.

The behavior you described fits many if not most online, semi-anonymous, young, male majority communities. CoD is just one community in that bucket.

Edit:

> I don't know how to fix it, I don't know how you get an entire community to start treating each other like human beings -- but that's what needs to happen.

Hang out around a group of young guys and you'll realize that the groups you described are just an amplified reflection of IRL groups of similar makeup.

If you want to fix this type of behavior you have to change it at a much deeper level than online gaming communities because its a mindset.

People do it mostly for the laughs - even the extreme idiotic shit like SWAT calls... just like they do extreme idiotic shit IRL like fraternity initiations that get people killed. IMO the stuff you're describing is systemic.

This story ties in eerily to the swatting death story ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16030838 ). If someone gets doxxed they can get swatted.

I sometimes hear people complain on political message boards with the common refrain "Why aren't people out in the streets protesting <insert controversial political thing>?" On the other hand, when people mess with the gaming community, such as what happened with the infamous GamerGate and the recent swatting business, their outrage and aggression is ridiculously large considering it's just gaming. Weird world we live in.

"Overworked" does not need to mean your engineers are pulling 14 hour days. Even just having a massive backlog that never gets knocked down is, to me, a form of "overwork".

Even if the work life balance is fine, it's very difficult to stay motivated when you are constantly chasing bugs and never getting to actually build anything, or your manager is having to defend your team against second guessing from the outside. Having too many things to do and not enough people to do it can really kill morale.

“Multinational” is in regular use (reflected in most current dictionaries) as a standalone noun with an equivalent meaning to the noun phrase “multinational corporation”.
I've thought similarly about people who are feeling the threat of being swatted informing local authorities of the possibility but that presents another problem. The police aren't going to 100% trust people calling in to say, "Hey, if anybody calls you to say I'm doing something illegal I am calling you to tell you right now that I'd never do anything like that!" and it makes me feel that forewarning them might pose more problem than not. The entire situation is sticky and grimy and I agree with Krebs that the punishment for causing a swatting incident needs to be a felony in all 50 states.
Depends what you mean by paper.

Toilet paper, cardboard boxes, sales packaging, food packaging, etc.

Are they paper?

Just looking up paper usage worldwide, there's been no decline over the last 10 years[1], it's been flat. before that, though I'm having trouble pinning down. There's also this[2] which claims there is no significant decline in the type of paper you're talking about. I find that hard to believe though given what I remember about offices in the 2000s.

That is what is so terrifying about police abuse. Who do you call. What can anyone do.
Alternatively, feeling pressure to hire because of workload means that you failed to hire quickly enough upfront, and now you are manpower strapped because you were trying to make your burn rate look better for this month.
Police should start using social engineering for fact finding. Simply call and ask "Just confirming that "Supposed Hostage" placed an online order for 10 pizzas". Or something of that nature to listen in on background noise and voice patterns.
I fear going to the police preemptively would make the situation far worse, as it so often does.
It sure would make for a more interesting discussion if you'd actually respond to any of my questions, rather than just tossing out another one of your own. Anyways, I'm all for the scholar-athlete ideal provided there's balance between the two. Many sports on campus seem to do a reasonable job of that; off the top of my head, that would include track, tennis, lacrosse, soccer, wrestling, crew, baseball, etc. But the "big money" sports (football & basketball) are a complete farce on the scholastic side -- ask anyone at an athletic powerhouse who has had a class with or taught these students if you don't believe me. The fact that these sports subsidize all the rest is not a compelling argument for their continued existence. If we desire to have student athletics on campus we should be prepared to finance it in the same way that we do research and teaching, through tuition and government aid -- not by running exploitative minor-leagues-in-disguise for the NFL and NBA.

> You know, back when you could really feel what a car’s doing, blah, blah, blah.

There is an argument to be made for this. In most new cars, whether ICE or electric, electric power steering racks have almost removed all feedback through the wheel.

Feedback is good, it communicates what the wheels are doing, what the road surface is like, what traction is like, etc... and I'd argue that good steering feedback is important for safe driving.
Then what? It asks for a key and I have no idea where to get that.

The more I think about it, the more I like the model that Michael Wood Jr. has been promoting, "Civilian Led Policing"[1], which attempts to directly fix this impedance mismatch between police goals and community goals.

Instead of police being directed an appointed or elected "chief" (that is necessarily entrenched in the usual political brouhaha), the police should be directed by more like a board of directors, with the members selected[2] from the community where the police have jurisdiction. Each local community should be directing how they want to be policed.

(It's not quite that simple - I'm simplifying to keep this short. See [1] for a more complete description)

You're a cunt for conflating the need to tear down anonymity btw. Or disingenuous and concern trolling at best.

I'm not sure who would recognize Greenland if it unilaterally declared independence. EU probably not. It's not like there are human rights violations or anything going on in there, so they kind of lack a serious reason to split.

To me it looks like the only way for this to happen were if Denmark agreed (like Scotland), maybe under international pressure.
The newer version of signature spoofing patch (included in microG's LineageOS fork) allows you to control the spoofing and make sure that it's only used when necessary and permitted, so I'd say the answer is "no".

This is where I stopped reading. Maybe if you work for Netflix-tier company which swims in the new candidates this makes sense but otherwise it's a great way to get a bad fame and make remaining employees focus only on KPIs to avoid getting fired(Goodbye good code quality, mentoring etc.; Hello "please create a ticket before asking any questions").

Besides, a good organization hires mostly right candidates. Firing should be really exceptional.
There is an argument to be made for this.

There most certainly is, for a tiny, tiny minority of people who buy cars. That’s why I used it as example. Picture the older middle-aged guy going on about how “cars back then..” until your eyes glaze (and if you’ve met me, you’ll have a working example). Yeah, nobody cares, old man, my ‘08 Corolla was cheap.

I already typed this before you deleted, so I’m putting it here. :-)

In summary, I think “feel” matters to a small number of people. To those that notice (I count myself amongst them), it’s pretty important. To the vast majority of drivers I think that as long as the car gets them to work it’s good enough.

The reason I used it as an example is because the ones I find that will argue the importance of “feel” are old, rambling guys like me. IOW, I was originally making of myself to some degree.
As you found out, the CSS multi-column module is not very well specified, and browser support is severly lacking in both features and performance.

Unfortunately... no, there's no better css only alternative. Grids are not supposed to address that use case. For now you are much better off looking at "masonry" javascript implementations, because they actually work and exhibit better performance than css columns.
