Maybe I read too much into your original comment, but it reminded me of a pitfall that I see too many engineering types fall into, namely that because something can't be formalized then it must be arbitrary, unimportant, or both. In particular, this seems like a counterproductive way to frame the issue:

> If I have no objective criteria, then it must be subjective, and then all that "simple" means is that "this is easiest for me right now"

Here's a few other (actionble) things that "simple" can mean.

* seems to reliably be easiest for me every time I look at it
* was judged to be better by the three or four people I could get to give me an opinion
* follows a heuristic that a bunch of smart people all seem to agree generally makes things better
* mirrors whatever we did on this project the last time we were in this situation

Even if all it means is "easiest for me right now", that's still probably going to get better results than "the first thing that popped into my head that might work".

There is no objective definition of simple. On behalf of the maintenance programmers of the world, please don't take that to mean it's not worth trying anyway.
IIRC, one can take up to 2400 mg/day at 800 mg per dose for up to 10 days on a prescription.
Atlassian is certainly an Australian company. HQ is Sydney, both co-founders are Australian, and probably more employees in that office than any other.
I've been accused of lying about it before to get attention. Realistically I only state it as a precaution because lately some of the things I've posted on other venues get an immediate comment calling me a Nazi and I want to avoid all the explanation and just get to discussing the issues.

I would prefer it if all of us could leave gender/race/religion at the door and talk but that's now the how the internet works now.
cool, I didn't realize this applied to attribute-style macro application too.
How exactly does likely loss and destruction of payload translate into "performed nominally"? Is that like "stable genius"?

Fair enough. I get twitchy-semicolon-pinky when I switch back and forth between Python and C. I have much sympathy for Python core devs... I don't really do C++ because most of my C is embedded real-time, so dynamic data structures are not a thing, out of an abundance of conservatism. If I did C++, I'm sure I'd find Rust less jarring.

My excitement about Rust is mainly the potential for using Rust for embedded real time -- but I see microcontrollers are still 3rd tier support. It seems like Rust the language is directed at exactly that problem, but Rust's build system and overall ecosystem are not embedded-aware, unless there is plan for xargo to get tier 1 support?

So... this isn't the thread for it but I have to ask... the only Rust reference I've seen to list/hash comprehensions is somebody who did a macro. So... is that the idiomatic way to do a list comprehension in Rust? Or is Rust going to make comprehensions first-class syntax? It seems to me that if it can be done in a macro, it isn't a big leap to make it part of the language.
I don’t think he has a chance of proving he’s being discriminated against because he’s a man (way too many guys at google) or white (same issue).

I think his only hope is persecution for his ‘belief’, which isn’t a religion and this would be a new protection (IANAL, unsurprisingly).

I didn’t see the class action bit. I wonder if he can even find enough people to join him to be certified as a class.

He has a giant ‘don’t hire me’ target on him now (weather you think just or not)... will people want to throw their lot in with him and risk the same label?
I think they meant the rock spurred general interest in further exploration, not just magnetite research.
I do. I do it by starting with little tiny shovels of snow, working my way up to a full load. What, you want me to have a heart attack?
Well you can still use CBD though.
I just checked Amazon and even for an apple device the charger and cable will be less than $10 (knock-off brand). Or, they could just use their friends' chargers. That is so easy to get around that I assume your friend's kids turn in their devices on occasion just so he doesn't wise up and put more onerous restrictions in place.

There's more than one way to lose weight. A lot of people in the keto subreddit have lost a lot of weight too. Anecdotal evidence doesn't prove that keto is broscience. There's plenty of studies on it, even in the very article this thread is based on there is one sourced as linked to longevity.

Also here's a good youtube video explaining it:

Concur; despite being so deep in AWS I've drowned here, competition makes all of the offerings in this space better. It'd be nice to have a migration strategy in my back pocket if I needed it; today that's a bit of a pipe dream.
A friend of mine is a synesthete. He finds it a blessing and a curse in his day to day life.

Psychedelics naturally amplify this, and the fact that he can feel emotion through touch, taste a sound or hear a color fascinates me to no end.

He never knew he was one until I showed him the Wikipedia page for synesthesia, he just thought he was fucked up in the head.

The things he must feel and experience I can only hope to have a taste of one day before I die.
Of course, that's how it used to be, but posting this without my profile picture next to it would bring out accusations of being sexist/nazi etc if I didn't clarify.
Millennials need new movies about nuclear war
I have a Vive and I doubt I'll upgrade. That is, unless there's a highly generous upgrade path. For instance giving me near purchase price for my working headset and I only pay a hundred bucks or something.

Although the wireless accessory is interesting but no price so far that I've seen. The cord isn't that annoying so I would have a price limit on that.
Odd, not on the first 3 pages.
The Atlantic did an article a couple months ago on the harm that smartphones are doing to today's teenagers, and they provide plenty of graphs and studies to back it up.

I totally get your reticence to believe the FUD, but the Golden Age of Greece didn't have the scientific method and the means to conduct study after study demonstrating the negative effects of writing. We do for smartphones, and the evidence is overwhelming.

Credit card fees in America are >2%, debit (and CC) is limited to <0.3% in Europe. So it makes sense for credit card companies in America to take the occasional loss and give out all those gimmicks as long as it keeps people paying mini-VAT on every purchase.

That's before you get into the whole "you gotta build credit" perversion that has Americans go into debt en masse and pay horrid fees on that.
> Also, twenty pages of memes

Twenty pages of memes presented as "Exhibit B", in a case where the plaintiffs claim to have been discriminated due to them being white men. They actually brought a class action suit because, quote, "Google was unable to respond to logical arguments".

This is the very definition of "missing the forest for the trees". Out of all possible ways to present their (surprisingly not as bad as I expected) arguments, they chose the one that make them look like children.

I think that, in this case, I will be rooting for the lawyers.
Cards in the US very rarely do.

Not really. I mean in an ideal world yes, but right now we have no idea how many other people did a similar study, found no difference, and just didn't publish anything. Let alone accidental or purposeful p-hacking.

Top 5 Reasons for Ruby-Ists to Use Crystal
I'm super excited for the Pimax 8K headset [0], supposedly shipping early this year. This resolution upgrade shows that HTC is still in the game though, contrary to the rumors that they are giving up.

[0]: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pimax8kvr/pimax-the-wor...
Would a resolution upgrade fix that? With my current Vive that effect strikes me as coming from the lenses.
You can build a computer that has no problem running VR for like $700, less if you're willing to buy second hand. + $600 for the headset you're looking at $1300 for a whole dev setup, I think that's probably less than what your laptop cost.
Sure, people will always try to make a social hierarchy, even when there's no difference in material wealth. Trying to feel better than others and climbing the social ladder is not "subjugation of the lower classes", though.
My points being is if it comes 56 years after it's first publicly raised as an issue, it's not particularly prescient.
Curious if you would consider using a VM? I use fusion to run a Windows and a couple of Linux VMs with 0 issues save for hindered battery life.
> It might even explain why so many cultures had rites to male adulthood involving extreme pain.

Right. And a notable trend among those cultures is that they are all nearly extinct. So much for their fertility.

Of course this observation could biased due to my own ignorance. I only remember, like, 3 such cultures, and they were your typical African/Amazonian/Aboriginal tribes that still live in near-neolithic conditions.

Is there any industrialized culture that still follows such rituals?

This face-off will be a lot more meaningful in a couple months when we can have both serverless platforms running on .Net Core 2.0. I do look forward to reading the results of that updated face off.
I once heard that at Google advancement (and thus salary increase) is significantly pinned to shipping new things. As a result, nobody is incentivized to work on maintenance or improvement of existing things. Everybody wants to ship something new, so they can ride along with it up the corporate elevator.
No, I don't want to name my company for obvious reasons but it's not Google or Facebook, not in the same league. It's an organization with around 400 engineers in it total, so not a small shop, but not a giant household name either.
I think that all NSAIDs (like naproxen and ibuprofen) chew holes through your stomach lining, and a whole class of them were yanked from the market for causing heart attacks[1].

+1 for Marijuana. Both ibpuprofen and aspirin have Ripped my stomach up (I took it every day for eye migraines for years). I still have stomach issues.
It isn't. People talking about P values forget about p-hacking and selection bias. Any scientific study with less than 200 participants should be discarded and the failure to routinely do so has more to do with scientific laziness and the pro-profit incentive most journals have than anything else.
If merchants gave me a discount for debit, I might use it more.
Honest, I wouldn't have taken the risk either in his place. Going to your local senator sounds overly naive.
I don't want to be offensive, but this is just another example where anglo-american standards for time and length measurements are ill-defined and lead to confusion. Instead, we have the SI system for the rest of the world and we have international standards for counting time -- with time going from 00:00:00 to 24:59:59 a day. I wonder why people refrain to adopt a working system in favour of culture. I never understood why culture and tradition is an argument for inexactness.
Enjoy your Labor Department investigation with fines that go up every day of noncompliance.

I'm sure the Trump admin will be totally understanding to the tweets from hiring managers that admitted to breaking labor laws.

I'm sure there are no emails that also break the law. Should be totally fine

LOL
Colloquially, median and mode are used as average more than you'd expect. For example, we might say "the average joe is right handed", which is most likely the mode.
I've understood "simple" in coding to mean "with the fewest abstractions possible."

This. Is. Hard.

It does help when the language is simpler. But as I code, when I find the need to deal with more exceptions, more functions, and more words just to get something to work... I just assume I should do it differently.

Unfortunately, that's most of the time I spend coding.
Ibuprofen doesn’t work as an anti inflammatory until you take at least 2400mg/day.

Looking at your username, did you make an account on HN just to discuss class issues? If so, why?

I wondered what you were ranting about so I skimmed Damore's memo :

>Communism promised to be both morally and economically superior to capitalism, but every attempt
became morally corrupt and an economic failure. As it became clear that the working class of the liberal
democracies wasn’t going to overthrow their “capitalist oppressors,” the Marxist intellectuals transitioned
from class warfare to gender and race politics. The core oppressor-oppressed dynamics remained, but
now the oppressor is the “white, straight, cis-gendered patriarchy.”

Hard to do not roll my eyes when reading this. Even though I feel that there is a fringe a the feminist movement for which being a white male is a crime, this is just a fringe and I don't think it has anything to do with socialism other than these are 2 things that Damore hates.
Fertility is only one aspect of evolutionary fitness.
Why don't you start a communist commune? You can do that in a capitalist system. You can't set up a capitalist commune in a communist system because they'll put you in the gulag.
Infrequent, occasional use of opiates, for two or three days shouldn't be a problem. You do have to make a bit of an effort to get addicted to opiates, insofar as taking a pill a day for a couple of weeks constitutes effort.
Keto is often used as a sort of very effective diet to cut fat preferentially. For example people like body builders use it effectively after their bulking phase.

It has gained much wider adoption recently of you include things like Atkins, but true keto is still very much more often used by a very self selected group of fitness people and a limited time (although I could be wrong and don't know of any good serveys).

However keto is not a long term diet and I don't know if long term effects have rally been studied much. I know more people that do keto cycling than sustained keto anymore.
It's not about that. Here's a good youtube video explaining it.

If you're overweight, I'd recommend learning to fast. Lookup up the research in Russia and now some cancer research from UCSD to ensure you comfortable with the process and idea.

Once you get the monkey off your back, the one that is always urging you to eat (for a variety of reasons - stress, food ads, etc...), it's easier to say no to food. When you've committed to not eating, you don't get to rationalize or fool yourself about some "snack" you're having. After 3 days, the physical hunger goes away, though the psychological desires have not completely faded.

You'll learn about how much time you devote to food satiation. Some of that mental clutter will fade away as you fast. I've gone for 3 days, but am looking to do 5 in the future. Our bodies are amazing and designed to survive these calorie droughts - our ancestors evolved this adaptive ability to sustain our life through hardship. Observe this hardship, rather than reacting to it. Keep observing and see what you find about the nature of your body and this life. You are now halfway through, might be time ask some tough questions.
Until he was asked about it, Damore's LinkedIn "Education" section said "Harvard University / PhD, Systems Biology / 2011-2013".

After, he changed it to "Harvard University / Master of Science - MS, Systems Biology / 2011-2013".

The fact that his old profile said PhD, in place of the MS degree he actually had, does look to me like falsely indicating that he had a PhD.

The Atlantic piece is not without significant criticism for abusing the available data to draw unwarranted conclusions. See, e.g., https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/once-more-feeling/20170...
Your comment is too brief to parse properly but yes Peterson talks about "Cultural Marxism" on his YouTube channel and so does Damore in the famous memo.
Simple code is usually what you have before exception handling, logging, and robustness.
As much as possible, I believe we should all try to do everything in moderation. Never be too extreme in medicine, exercise, drinking, drugs, food, etc. Sometimes in life you can't avoid the situation, unfortunately.
I never learned my English proficienfy in school, let's face it learning a language requires more than a few hours a week in a classroom. Watching TV, playing games and reading books will get you there after a few years. Hell I have immense difficulty now reading stuff in my native language (English is wonderfully efficient).

Besides Iran can grumble but even the French have to use English at universities now because that is the language of science.
I have and use both sets on a daily basis and I find the tracking quality of the Vive outclasses the Oculus night/day. More than enough to cover any shortcomings in the controllers. I cannot use an Oculus for more than ~45 minutes without getting nauseous, even sitting down. I've spent 3+ straight hours in the Vive without any noticeable discomfort.
The portability was a big factor in it. As a kid, you're forced to be in all sorts of places you'd rather not or are totally boring because your school or parents require it of you.

I'd code in the car, at the grocery store, at family gatherings, while my parents discussed serious business (taxes, attorneys, etc), while sitting in waiting rooms, during boring classes at school (because school catered to the lowest common denominator and teachers would have to re-explain things about fifty times) etc and I would spend about half of the time on my calculator and the other half on my Game Boy. Fairly often I'd just leave the Game Boy at home.

We also had a computer at home since I was 7, and I spent as much time as I could get away with on there (mostly writing and working on my personal website). But when that wasn't available, or my parents felt like limiting my screen time, back to coding on the calculator I'd go.

I still did plenty of other normal things, I didn't exclusively do this, but I did spend a lot of time on it, and I got into a Maker mindset when I was really young that still carries over to this day.

Pros and Cons of Selling on Walmart Marketplace
The machine may have PCID but that doesn’t mean the OS was using it.
By that logic math homework must be super easy, since the content is easy to google (and already in the textbook)..
Higher resolution screens are great, but I find that the screens are often not the limiting factor for image quality in my current setup. The optics blur everything outside the central region and introduce light smearing artifacts. The head mount makes it difficult to keep my eyes in the sweet spot of the lenses. My GPU isn't powerful enough to drive the supersampling required to reduce aliasing to an acceptable level in many games, because devs aren't paying enough attention to aliasing.

I'll be interested to see people's impressions of the new optics and head mount, but I probably won't be buying one until the next generation of GPUs is out, along with the new lighthouses and controllers and wireless support. Maybe a year from now or so.
