I've put more thought into the strange ratings of movies on IMDb. There are many reasons for this, but one is - it seems the, er, less discerning movie-goers tend to do more voting. Many people never vote. Just that alone means the crap movies get more and often higher votes. Similarly with music topping the charts. But on IMDb the voting's not everything. There are user comments where you can have your say. People know the movie ratings are often silly.

What should be possible, though, would be to distinguish a surface-syntax from the underlying code: e.g. a language that can transparently convert to/from c-style curly brace blocks, Pascal-style begin/end and s-expressions. possibly implemented as a bunch of git hooks that transforms to a normalized representation (as, e.g. prettier does for JS) on push and transforms to the programmer's preferred representation on pull.

I wonder if you read as much online news about your country of residence as you do about SV, would you think they're fking insane too? Remember that the news distorts, there are trolls all over the internet intent on (and some paid to) stoke outrage and division, and controversy sells. And SV punches way above its weight in newspaper coverage.

In case anyone was curious, Wikipedia says Trump received 37,688 votes in (the city and county of) San Francisco, which was 9.3% of the votes counted. The 2010 Census counted 48,870 African Americans in San Francisco, which was 6.1% of the population.

Apologies. I guess the nature of these threads is that everybody jumps in thinking that they're above all the bickering, then promptly and utterly fail to rise above it.

Bullshit right in the first paragraph. Women snipers, women tank drivers, women pilots were not uncommon in USSR during the second world war. Half of the lawyers were women in USSR by 1980, although the comparison to US would be meaningless, the legal profession there is pretty different. Politics and philosophy... Peuh. These are not professions even in US.

Petrie's tables are better... but they're still at best interesting and inconclusive.

(Also, although people cited /it/ above, Thesuarus Linguae Aegyptiae transliterates it /jtj/ (yty - long vowels rather than glottals); and claiming that's similar to pit is pretty ridiculous... If there's a genetic intra-Afroasiatic relation with that root (which I'm not sure there is...) it'd make a lot more sense to connect it with Ugaritic 'ad... Which I don't think it makes sense to do...

Debugging is the single biggest challenge in my experience for junior devs. It is also the best way to learn.

When they call me up frustrated that they've wasted hours trying to find a bug, whether it be as innocuous as a typo, as subtle as a type-error, or as painful as a quirk in the framework, I will always consider time spent debugging to be worthwhile. As this is when you pull apart the guts of the code, stretch your understanding of it, and learn to isolate the flow of data within a system. Then you can put it back together in a better way.

At least, that's how I learned to code.

> is it absurd to claim that the NRA's refusal to compromise re assault weapons has led to the death of many kids in American schools?

Given that the definition of an "assault weapon" has nothing to do with the actual capabilities of a firearm, and everything to do with the shape of its grip, the presence of collapsing stocks, etc. I'd say yes it is pretty absurd. For example this [1] rifle is exactly the same in caliber, capability, and general functionality as the infamous AR-15 yet is not targeted by even the most restrictive States' definitions of assault weapons. Heck, even liberal publications are catching on to the fact that "assault weapons" are a red herring: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/14/sunday-review/the-assault...

> what is the absurd part here? how many kids can a gay person be alleged to have killed just by being gay?

Pick a more relevant liberal policy: How many people have been killed by prisoners on parole? Should all politicians who support reduced prison sentences and earlier parole, as well as individuals who support those policies, be held responsible for the crimes that parolees and released prisoners commit crimes? This number is much greater than the number of school shootings.

That fact should not be used as justification to ostracize, or otherwise take actions against people who believe in more lenient parole and less prison time - and people who support conservative policies should get the same respect.

30g of protein in one sitting seems to be a myth: https://examine.com/nutrition/how-much-protein-can-i-eat-in-...

There's really no suggestion that too much protein is harmful, unless you already have damaged kidneys. What might be is very suddenly drastically increasing protein intake, or taking a lot after prolonged fasting: https://examine.com/nutrition/can-eating-too-much-protein-be...
This is maybe a problem for small open source software projects, but not at organizations where code is vetted with constant review.

I claim a lot of problems like this are solved perfectly well by team-agreed policy. For the same reason you don’t see people writing C functions taking void* everywhere for every problem, you don’t see professional Lisp codebase chock-full of terrible, homegrown DSLs.

You will see bad code in Lisp, C, Go, Java, whatever if it goes without review or peer agreement. With that said, since coding in Go is a bit more menial, there’s less policy to make around it.
Because you have all sorts of people that make a big deal about having celiac but then go eat French fries at a restaurant (most restaurants put breaded items in their fryers) and give the false impression that celiac is just a minor inconvenience.

> Yes, the story is inaccurate: the study was about how power, not luck, changes perceptions.

I think you misunderstood the situation. The Michael Lewis speech is precisely pointing that power changes perceptions, because we like to believe that we deserve the power you have. He's challenging the students to eschew that altered perception by pointing out that they're in that position of power but, like in the experiment, their power doesn't come from intrinsic worthiness but from sheer dumb luck.

> It seems insincere to ask if he didn’t really mean it.

It's not exactly insincerity; cultural nuances like this throw-off outsiders but are not easily apparent to the in-group who have internalized the relevant call-and-responses for the ritual. Consider the standard greeting "How are you?" - the person asking isn't being insincere, but they don't really want to know how you are.
What exactly does it do? Although it is such a buzzword nowadays I still have absolute zero idea about how are these "smart contract" things used and what Ethereum is if not "a better BitCoin" (and if it is - what kind of applications can you build with it? money exchange/ecommerce/gambling?).
To an extent, it does in the US as well (T-mobile zero-rates Netflix, Youtube, HBO, etc.)

If contrarian debate includes technical debate, I learned that I enjoy reading the counter arguments for programming solutions that I'd probably not learn about, if for any reason I am by experience or knowledge or style or ability, the longer in tooth or lesser as is inevitable in this Cambrian explosion of the web, if I'm going to instinctively assume that I would take another approach to the similar goal.

The Department of Justice gets involved in cases not just based on law but also on politics due to limited resources. They literally have to pick and choose what lawsuits they're going to get involved in, or not. The president nominates, senate confirms, the various federal attorneys general who likewise make those kinds of decisions at the local level.

Even if I set aside the incorrect assertion that Trump can't do anything against transgendered persons, self-evidently he can look the other way, as can DOJ, and federal prosecutors. And now that means people are left to defend themselves, or not. Is that justice?

The Fair Housing Act is supposed to prevent racial discrimation in lending. Does it still happen? Yes. In fact it's widespread and it's institutionalized. It's baked into the system, and the free market, being amoral, games the system to the benefit of those who are already privileged and can pay for that privilege. This is maybe a surprise if you don't know about these things.

I think people have no idea how fragile the system is, in particular when the head of state impugns, without evidence, and denigrates the federal agencies we depend on to carry out the imperfect justice system that we have. Papering over reality with ideas the legal system will be the superman to save us from the malignancy in the White House is somewhere in between wishful thinking and ignorant.

> "The 2270 people who signed the petition are not qualified architects. Qualified architects do not claim it was a controlled demolition (let alone obviously one.)"

No, this isn't what he is saying. What he is saying is "Of the 2270 people who signed the list, only 30 claim to be structural engineers".

The list is actually 2,750 now - anyone can sign it - the vast majority self-report as architects or non-structural engineers (for some reason, many claim to be aeronautical engineers?). For obvious reasons we don't use architects, or aeronautical engineers, to analyze the behavior of steel girders in the presence of fire.

Of the 30 who claim to be structural engineers, only 14 claim they are structural engineers who work on buildings, and of those 14, only one claims to work on high-rises.

TL;DR: One structural engineer with experience of high rises is on the list. And, and I'm going to write this in all caps: HE DOESN'T CLAIM HE THINKS IT WAS EXPLOSIVES!! His official statement is this:

I can speak from my own experience only as I dont study the statistics, but in 20 years of work as a white male I can categorically say ate that my race and gender has never been a hindrance in my career progression. I dont doubt the possibility exists, but I do not based on my network feel its to any noticeable degree. As in, I havent ever observed it happen, as a hiring manager myself or by a hiring manager.

As to your second part, as to what its origin is, its clearly in response to a multigenerational systemic suppression of certain classes. That is not in debate, and frankly from my white male perch, I continue to see firsthand much more of the lingering slights and biases against certain classes and groups, that affect their career and their inclusion, than I ever have any anti white male sentiment or anti white male advancent credo.

So in summary - I really dont think much has changed, and that isnt a good thing.

I wanted OS/2 to succeed because it was reasonably fast and stable, and included a very good filesystem (HPFS) compared to FAT. But "users" don't find those features compelling. 32-bit OS/2 was also limited to 512MB, but at the time that was an unattainable ideal for a PC.

I think it would have had a chance if it were easily config'd like the Mac, which was all graphical and simplified. But OS/2 was like DOS, requiring power users to edit config.sys and the like. Windows 95 provided more graphical config options, although in the end if you wanted to run games and the like, you were dealing with the crazy.
