The downside of prosecutors taking on cases that they have a good chance of losing is that a lot of innocent people get hassled.

You can argue for more or less false positives at the expense of false negatives. But saying they should prosecute, not because they're likely to win, but because it'll act as a deterrent, seems wrong. For one, having lots of cases that get thrown out also hurts public trust. For another, losing cases reduces incentives to settle.

Apologies, your perceived "view" of engineers had me fuming. I din't mean to attack you - but I understand where you're coming from.

It is not your fault if your leadership demands detailed answers as to why X is off by Y days. All you're doing is cascading that mistrust/poor management skills to your engineers. I understand what you're doing is the most reliable way to do it, but there is a better way. This is why I mentioned its a people problem.

The better way is to not break down things into hourly tasks but weekly sprints as most teams do. Let your engineers break that down into how much ever granularity they're comfortable with. If something goes off track, build communication trust that helps them keep everyone in the loop and work towards a common goal.

As a product person, I've had the fortune of working in two of the big 4 with some of the best engineers there is - so maybe that contributes to my worldview and it might be terribly biased.

Thanks for explaining :)

I make no promises about the way I'm going to render your site when I request data. I'm just requesting some data from the server.

I might be reading it in lynx, or over a slow connection with images turned off, or on an ancient browser, or whatever.

I prefer explicit to implicit - if you wish to enforce my rendering method, you shouldn't give me the data. I would even be happy with sending a flag in my request - XWillNotRender or whatever, so that you can filter me out easily if you wish. But once I have the data my device can show it to me however I wish.
It sounds entirely reasonable. One way of reading the popularity of Agile is simply that it is a vehicle for non-creators to get their head around dealing with todo lists, testing, documentation and releases. Github is great at all of that.

That's about right. Yet, I think BSH (HAM) will continue to maintain their GUIs on a daily basis since they will want to keep older devices up to date with their IoT ecosystem, too. In the past, once a UI for appliances was written, it stayed the same until the appliance broke down. In a world of IoT, code will become updated on a regular basis. That's why I was questioning the initial development costs vs. maintaining an application's GUI until its EOL.

This passage points towards what (I experienced) as profound about the novel:

"Our entire pattern of socio-sexual interaction is nonexistent here.They cannot play the game. They do not see one another as men or women. This is almost impossible for our imagination to accept. What is the first question we ask about a newborn baby?Yet you cannot think of a Gethenian as "it." They are not neuters. They are potentials,
or integrals. Lacking the Karhidish "human pronoun" used for persons in somer, I must
say "he," for the same reasons as we used the masculine pronoun in referring to a transcendent god: it is less defined, less specific, than the neuter or the feminine. But the very use of the pronoun in my thoughts leads me continually to forget that the Karhider I am with is not a man, but a manwoman."

Moving on from the same tired argument that pops up in every thread concerning this topic... if the Qt crowd really cares about this (be it memory usage, etc), you'd think they'd do more to say, make React Native just compile down to Qt.

There's even project(s, or at least one) out there that seem to have had this idea (https://github.com/status-im/react-native-desktop), but few people working on them. I would be 100% unsurprised to see no Electron people doing this, so if you really want to see an alternative, and are looking for cool open source projects to devote time to, maybe something worth considering. It's not an easy feat at all - this thread alone (https://github.com/status-im/ideas/issues/34) kind of explains why.

In my opinion, this is unlikely to ever take off in any serious form, and Qt will continue to generally be the "it exists but nobody really considers it unless Electron is 100% out of the question" option. There's simply too much momentum in terms of new UI components/capabilities/what-have-you that the browser runtime brings to the table that Qt (be it SDK or community built components) cannot match.

I am not sure I understand the distinction you make between your 1 and 2. The swap traders had no way to manipulate the libor fixings directly, they had to go through their libor submitters. You are right that they appear to have been colluding to do so between banks.

On the low balling, interestingly I am not sure the impact on the market was nefarious. It was certainly material but I do not believe that when borrowers and lenders referenced Libor in their loan contract, they really meant to index their interest rate paid on the 3 month credit risk of a bank. I think they did on the assumption that large international banks had near zero credit risk for 3 months borrowing (which was true until 2007) and that Libor was a convenient way to measure a 3 month risk free rate on top of which they would add a credit risk margin. When Libor started shooting up in 2008, it was not because of the general levels of interest rates (central banks were slashing interest rates at the same time) but because of bank credit risk. So though contractually borrowers should have paid a higher interest rate during that period, the low balling probably had the effect to make the interest rate closer than what borrowers and lenders probably intended when they referenced Libor in their contract.

> We found through the IP addresses tracked that the particular cracker had used Chrome to contact our servers so we decided to capture his information directly

The issue is that IP/computer != single person. If they dump and steal the Chrome credentials of the computers using pirated serials, they are most probably stealing the credentials of law-abiding partners, parents, siblings, children, etc. who also use that computer. Which is, of course, illegal.

In fact, probably more serious offence than copyright infringement, if these credentials are related to protected information such as financials, healthcare, etc.

It baffles me how a niche product that everyone loved could fail like this. Smartwatch competition seems like a barren field compared to smartphones, and Pebble had things no other rivals could do - double the battery life, true always on display and a great open platform. The functionality was there, an the hardware was good enough.
It would be really interesting to see what actually failed - much smaller companies with niche products like Flirc.tv are chugging along well.

I can only hope that someone picks the torch up and makes a Pebble successor - the userbase is still there, without any matching product to choose.
The author has proven exactly this point: By going through a number of engine-specific / implementation-specific code transformations they have achieved a significant performance boost for hot code, which, for whatever reason, the JS engines themselves failed to attain with the optimization repertoire they already have.

Also, remember that JS engines are not all-powerful and all-knowing in their optimization techniques, it's still just a limited number of individually imperfect humans working on them, just like the rest of us. So naturally there are going to be opportunities for other humans to utilize and help complete the picture and increase the overall value and effectiveness.

Maybe in this case there is room specifically for a JS-syntax-level tool that also has more freedom in terms of execution time and related concerns, because it can execute at build-time, potentially pull in or bundle much more information about optimizations with it (imagine using (potentially expensive) ML model to search for probable performance wins, actually do micro- or macro-benchmarks during the build step), be maintained outside of the implementation of a JS engine and thus have the additional benefits of a potential broader contributor base and a faster and more focused release cycle, etc. Or this may not be a good idea after all. I cannot tell. All I know is that if we actually do see that there are and will continue to be optimization gaps in the JS engines themselves, then there is a way to fill them, and likely without having to switch to basically entirely different (frontend) technology stacks.

Few things I realized learning AI/ML in school and being around people who claimed to care about "social good" and "ethics":

1) As long as engineers chase after money and prestige first, there will be no ethical AI/ML. We live in a society which values money and status over everything else, especially moral values (it's quite trendy these days to reject traditional moral values, in fact). If that doesn't change, the incentives to create unethical, untransparent and unfair AI/ML don't change either.

2) The trendiness of ethical / fair AI/ML is the only thing it has going for it, and if companies can coopt it while actually using AI/ML for unethical goals, they will do so happily (for instance, if they were to sponsor ethical AI conferences or papers while still using AI to spy on people and draw up lists of possible terrorists without hard evidence, ala Palantir).

3) There is no desire to have a hardline, this is right and that is wrong code of ethics like doctors do with their Hippocratic oath and a large part of this is the entanglement that a lot of AI/ML research has with the military. It's not possible to talk about ethics and ignore the fact that lots of this AI/ML research is going towards killing over 1 million innocent civilians in Iraq. And yet, nearly all the labs which do this research receive US military funding. When this is the case, you have to leave loopholes for people to reason their way into justifying things which are, to most people's base instincts, morally wrong. And that leaves a kind of ethics where everything is ultimately permissible provided you think about it hard enough, in other words no ethics at all.
In other words, justice?

The halting problem has nothing to say against translating between languages. A non-terminating program will simply be translated into another non-terminating program. In fact, Turing completeness is all about the fact that a program in any language can be translated into an equivalent program in another.

Some languages can't be parsed without solving the halting problem, but even in such cases, you can simply bundle it with an interpreter in the target language. And the subset of programs humans are actually likely to write should be much saner.
