Good. I sure hope only a small fraction of the population will be able to manually drive their car in the future. It would save lives, time, and money for everyone if the bulk of the idiots were unable to manually drive their car.

>He believes that the insistence on the use of gender-neutral pronouns is rooted in postmodernism, which he sees as thinly disguised Marxism.

I've only been studying theory for a few years but how is this interpretation of postmodernism possible? It seems to run counter to one of what I understand to be the foundations of the movement - the rejection of metanarratives.

I think the "danger" around Jordan Peterson goes beyond the pronoun debate.

Thinking to his issue over pronouns...

He's arguing that he should not be coerced into using preferred pronouns. Ok, that's fine. But he should use preferred pronouns anyway, in order to not be an asshole. Because refusing to use preferred pronouns isn't standing up to oppressive postmodern SJWs. It's being an asshole.

And this is the real headache with Jordan Peterson. He may be thoughtful and interesting. But for thousands of followers, he's just providing intellectual cover for bigotry and emotional sadism.

I'd actually wager that the vast majority of people commuting in from Jersey work in Manhattan, rather than the other boroughs. I grew up in central Jersey, and everyone I knew who commuted in on NJ Transit (along the Northeast Corridor line) were commuting into Manhattan. If you worked in Queens or Brooklyn, you'd live somewhere on Long Island. If you worked in the Bronx, you'd live in Westchester (or north). Some fraction of people have longer commutes, but my guess is that it would be a tiny one. You are correct, the GWB serves a diverse set of areas (I only take the GWB to get from Jersey to Westchester), but it's not the only means by which cars get into NYC.

Regarding why everyone talks about Manhattan, it's because it's where a huge fraction of people in NYC live and work. While there are only 1.6 million permanent residents of Manhattan, the population during the day swells to around 4 million due to commuters and visitors. The outer boroughs, while busy in their own right, operate on a completely different scale (population actually decreases during the day), because they're so spread out.

The usual convention is a single hyphen for short-form (single-letter) options, and a double hyphen for long-form options:

> python -v

or

> python —-version

It’s good practice to offer both. It should also be possible to set multiple options at once by appending one after another in short form following a single hyphen:

> ls -alR

is the same as

> ls -a -l -R

Long-form options are technically a GNU thing [0] and are not mentioned in the POSIX standard, but they’re conventional enough now that I think it’s good practice to include them in any CLI program.

There are also a number of looser conventions about the meaning of certain short-form options [1].

For any $bigco there are lots of HN users who strongly feel for or against it, and they all have competing beliefs about which $bigco is secretly favored or secretly suppressed here.

People come up with highly charged claims about HN all the time and they're never true.

People have horrible notions about what it is to be "creative" that really just serve to prevent them from attempting something.

Linus Pauling said that when he is asked how he comes up with so many great ideas, he says he just comes up with a lot of ideas and then throws away the bad ones.

People are discouraged when they sit down to a blank sheet of paper and their first few efforts seem like crap.

The truth is that many "creative" people started younger, when their first crappy efforts weren't so stinging.

You can start something new when you are older. But you have to tolerate your errors, and you have to bother to identify your problems and fix them.

Also: you don't have to be Mozart to be creative. Garden-variety creativity is pretty much available to most people who are willing to brave the slog and self-embarrassment.
In everyday life I've never found it to be too inconvenient to be as accommodating as possible to others and communicate with them on their own terms, whether that means remembering to use the pronouns they want or using alternative terminology if they think some word is offensive.

I've never had to think about how my outlook might change if all of that got a lot more inconvenient though (if more people start requiring ever more varied pronouns, or if so many words get soft-banned as being offensive that it's difficult to communicate with clarity). Much less have I thought about what if I were compelled by force/law to do the thing I've been doing voluntarily all along. I can understand and be sympathetic to Peterson's position in that sense, although I'm not sure if I agree.

One sees this with some frequency in art. Consider Haruki Murakami:

"Murakami began to write fiction when he was 29.[19] "Before that", he said, "I didn't write anything. I was just one of those ordinary people. I was running a jazz club, and I didn't create anything at all."[20] He was inspired to write his first novel, Hear the Wind Sing (1979), while watching a baseball game."

I've been using public transportation every day since I've been 18 (before that, I mostly biked), and I just have to disagree. Transit is so much more freedom than driving or biking for me. I don't have to care about where I park, or the bike getting stolen, or about being stuck in traffic. Whenever I need to get anywhere, I go to the next spot, wait 5min, and just hop onto the next one. It's amazing how much freedom this gives me.

Actually it doesn't even seem to load most of the page in a background tab until it's focused... which is also annoying. (Or perhaps it's just the parts hidden behind 'onload' JavaScript, which these days is most of the page content.) Part of the reason for opening the tab in the background is getting the lengthy loading process out of the way while I'm reading something else.

For this reason I tend to activate the tab and then go back to what I was doing before... and then the video auto-plays.

Hierarchical organizations (governments) are quite effective at some things, like keeping order, punishing at least some people who want to steal. Without punishment maybe I would start stealing as well to not have a competitive disadvantage compared to other people, though I never did in my life.

Back when I worked at Twitter, celebs used to show up randomly at the HQ at lunchtime. I was just your average Indian immigrant data scientist, not clued into American culture.

The team I was on was trying to hire a lady for a front end eng role. I didn’t know what the lady’s name was, but I was told she was a very promising candidate, and we were all looking forward to the day when she joined because we had a ton of frontend work.

Ok, so at lunch, my colleague said out aloud - Hey Katy Perry is in the lunchroom!
Everyone got excited. So I said, Oh is that the new front end engineer ?
The whole room exploded in laughter. I thought I must have made a big social gaffe. My mind quickly raced...,oh maybe she must be a celebrity of some kind. Perry Perry...which Perry do I know...So previous night I was watching some show on TBS and suddenly a Perry name flashed into my brain, so I instantly said - Oh she must be the daughter of Tyler Perry!

The room just doubled up in laughter. Finally I did a wiki lookup and found out who she was. But for days, people would look at me, laugh and say he’s the Katy Perry Tyler Perry guy ha ha ha.

Finally I was so embarrassed and pissed off I asked them - Do you know the difference between between Jacobian and a Hessian ? Nobody knew. Well, I said triumphantly, I might not know your katy perry from tyler perry, but atleast I know what I need to know to fo my work.

So yeah, some of us do know that a Gaussian is its own Fourier transform, derivative of an exponential is the exponential itself, etc.

I'll give you "lives" and "money," but not necessarily time.

I live in a place where self-driving vehicles can be spotted fairly regularly. Once a week or so. You can tell by the special license plates. They are always very ponderous, careful drivers. It's fascinating to see them gently slow to a stop for a red light, then take off like a jackrabbit when it turns green.

Perhaps as the technology matures, they'll start to keep pace with traffic better.

I'm actually looking forward to self-driving cars. It's all the personal time benefits of mass transit (book reading, meditating, general mental health), without worrying about accidentally sitting in someone else's pee.

I think there's something really interesting happening with philosophy and its use of the Internet as a platform. It's a disruption in the same way that traditional media is being disrupted.

YouTube debates held by self-made moderators are a sort of spectator sport where differing schools of thought are battling it out rhetorically. The audiences are people who are honed by online debate groups and have experience in one-liner Tweets and trolling to prove a point.

When you think about it, it's not all that new of a concept -- the classical philosophers had their "schools" but they weren't like formal institutions with faculty. Philosophers had their followers or acolytes, not matriculated registered students. Maybe the more calcified academic structures we see starting to break down are the aberration rather than the norm.
It's easy in one-on-one conversations with people you know or have a reasonable way of learning about.

It's hard for public or mass communications with people who have rapidly-evolving preferences and sets of things that can cause offense.

Peterson sounds like a dick in his methods, but there's a dangerous regressive trend picking up in mainstream circles of treating disagreement as heresy. We've picked up the worst habits of religion. (And the "right" is too intellectually dishonest to notice that this treend of whining/heresy/safe-spaces-desire trend is deeply entrenched in evangelical and right-wing America, with private schools, "wars on Christmas", etc.)
When 0x12345678 is stored in little endian, it looks like 78 56 34 12 in a byte dump, which is stupid because hex digits are grouped as pairs and then revered.

The endianness at the bit level is irrelevant because the bits are chunked into bytes, and are usually not even addressable.

A storage format exhibits endianness only when it is addressable.

In the C language, bits are only "addressable" via the shift operators. These are rooted in pure arithmetic, so that 1<<1 is always 2, regardless of whether you're on a big or little endian platform. Whether you call the value 1 "bit 7", "bit 8", "bit 1" or "bit 0" is just, pardon the pun, word semantics.

The only time you deal with "bit endianness" is with certain compressed data formats, and with bitfield layout rules.
Taking your criticism to its logical conclusion, are you asking for end-to-end encryption on every online mode of communication in order to consider it secure?

When security engineers and cryptographers analyze an application, they frame their analysis in the context of security goals, threat models and categories of risk. They don't begin from the perspective that application security is a boolean property - i.e. that the software is either secure under the most strenuous of requirements or simply insecure. That's not how any of this works. All security analysis exists on a continuum between safety and usability.

Not all messaging software needs to be secure enough that it could be used as an anti-censorship platform or to facilitate secure communication from journalists in totalitarian regimes. For most companies it's enough that their data is protected through strong application security mechanisms, and Slack devotes significant resources to that task.

In addition, customers choose to use Slack for its features. As others have pointed out, some of these features (like message search, or an audit log for direct messages between team members) cannot exist under an end-to-end encrypted model. If you want to use Slack, that means you want to use Slack's features. It's pointless to demand Slack to become something it's fundamentally incompatible with. If you want confidentiality assurance at the highest echelons of computational security, just use something else.
DAEMON Tools Lite 10.7 Crack and Serial Key Free Download
As long as we use the traditional network protocols and socket API it's not "dead" dead. The other name for big-endian is "network order", after all.

As way to serialize data (wire / disk format) it's becoming more common. FlatBuffers and Cap'n'Proto are the popular ones. They reduce (completely eliminate?) byte shuffling when de-serializing.

In one instance I was reading a spec for an industry-specific protocol. At first I was looking at it and thinking "What the... they are padding stuff in a strange way, and using little-endian for the data". Then it suddenly dawned on me, that they've designed the spec to be whatever GCC on x86-64 Linux machine would do to layout C the structures in memory.

So someone very lazy could just define a struct and cast into it as data comes from the wire. Someone one a big endian machine, would have to do a lot more legwork to get the thing working. But given that there aren't many of those around, it was deemed an acceptable tradeoff.

Jordan Peterson became famous after a student tried to debate him about his "Nazi followers" and gender pronouns:

Many people see him as an enemy because of his conservative viewpoints. His most recent debate with Cathy Newman from three days ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMcjxSThD54
The article really tries hard to paint Jordan Peterson (JP) as a controversial figure who espouses fringe messages. The article uses adjectives like "controversial" and "polarizing" to describe JP. His public presence is "notoriety". His followers are said to be "something akin to a cult following". He "appears on TV, including on Fox & Friends, President Trump’s preferred morning show". WoW so edgy.

But is JP really the one who is controversial and polarizing?

- JP is against the Pomo stuff that passes for scholarship now a days. https://twitter.com/realpeerreview?lang=en

- We have professors university calling for violence against his political opponents.

- We had a Antifa professor who nearly killed a guy hitting someone with a heavy bike lock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qKCl9NL1Cg (WARNING: GRAPHIC)

Is JP really the one who is polarizing and extreme here? The left academic really dropped the ball not pointing out their own dirty laundry and cleaning out their own cesspool of fake academics and violent thugs.
