> No one talks to anyone from other companies, to the point of awkwardness. I often see two people in the kitchen area from different companies and it can be a bit like a comedy sketch as they try to get their kitchening done without acknowledging the other person exists. Absurd, why don't people talk to each other. Especially people you see every day!

Having worked in a number of shared workspaces: while this does seem to be the natural state of things, breaking the barrier is fairly easy. In every workspace I've worked at, I've gotten to know almost everyone there by talking to them in the kitchen, and once people see me doing it, they start doing it. You're not obligated to change the culture of your workspace, but if you don't like it, it doesn't even take much effort to change it. And there are big career benefits to this: I've met a number of my clients this way.

A lot of those barriers are there for a reason. In the 90s East Palo Alto had the highest per capita murder rate in the country. Meanwhile, just across the 101, Palo Alto was the land of million dollar homes. Like the cold war, the suburbanites chose the containment strategy.

> Language designers often make vague arguments about the “simplicity” or “intuitiveness” of language features, without ever saying what they mean by these terms, or testing whether these claims are true.

Anecdotally the designer of Ruby, if in doubt, asked his little daughter what looked simpler / easier to understand.

The post skimmed by the issue of polyglot programmers. I used to work with C, Java and Perl, now with Ruby, Python, Elixir, JavaScript. There is also PHP, which I made some money with but I never really cared much about.

What happens when working with so many languages in maybe as many different projects is that the amount of context switches increases. It's like going back to a project after six months but it happens the next week. This makes it easier to spot both the weaknesses in my code (why did I call that variable so?) and the weaknesses in the programming languages (why did they do that when everybody else is doing that other thing which is so better?)

I could give examples and make everybody angry because every language has its share of problems :-)

A side effect is that I tend to write simpler and dumber code, because I have to understand it when I come back. The clever features of languages are tempting but I use them only for those special cases when everything else wouldn't do. There are (un)surprisingly very few of them.
the vast majority of people I see online, arguing for "free speech" - when you cut right down to it, will eventually reveal that their agenda will lead to abridging others' speech.

The one argument (that I think dates back to WWII, but is probably far older) that seems to be ignored in all these debates is that it's a logical fallacy to tolerate intolerance. And to that end, it's incumbent on everyone to either argue from an honest position, or to work very hard to root out when someone is arguing from a dishonest position, and if that dishonesty conceals intolerance, you have to stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.

In the case of fascism - (capital-F and lower-case-f), it's already been demonstrated repeatedly (with great loss of life and material progress), that this kind of intolerance must be stopped early and often.

These are not "new ideas which must be explored". Nor are they "consciences yearning to be free to think what others dare not". They want to kill you. And often for some invented reason like: your skin contains too much melanin. Often the invented reason is only to justify: because you're living on land I want to steal; but as long as I can con people into believing they're part of some "master race" or "god's chosen" - that excuse will do.

If shutting down fascism makes me an "internet bully" then, give me your lunch money, wimp.
If protons decay, they don't come back -- the whole reason why the Standard Model lacks proton decay is in how it treats conservation of quark number, since there is no path for a proton's components to a lower-energy state. If that part of the Standard Model is not exactly correct, protons may decay, and the final products will generally be useless for structure-building (e.g. a Georgi-Glashow model proton decays into a pair of gammas and a positron, and it is not energetically favourable for an "anti-decay" back into a proton to occur).

That is, when the protons are gone, so is chemistry, electronics, and so forth.

Of course lots of protons -- likely the vast majority of them -- will end up in stellar collapse remnants anyway, and in the black hole cases you're also not getting the protons back, whether or not they would eventually have decayed.
The rest will be in an extremely tenuous gas and dust far outside the black-hole-dominated remnants of no-longer-star-forming galaxies, and most of that will be neutral hydrogen (and in that case if the proton decays, the residual positive charge will annihilate the electron, so all you have left is light flashing off in several random directions).

"Mining" for new components in the extreme future looks like a losing proposition even without proton decay; with proton decay, you run out of usable material all the sooner.
Until china/Russia start selling to terrorists or rogue states (or an Iraq-like situation happens again), we will probably never get a chance to find out what is better.

More to the point, many of the capabilities and their effectiveness of each fighters on both sides are probably shroud in secrecy. Engagement would reveal a lot of secrets between both sides, so they are likely to avoid it unless absolutely necessary.
There are always exceptions, none of these are hard-and-fast rules.

Hopefully there is an eighth circle of hell in the afterlife reserved for management that inflicts such things on their workforce, full of gibbering, odoriferous, chronically sneezing demons that will pelt them with whiteboard markers and constantly ask for TPS reports.
I always find that WeWork has a very weird vibe. It has all of these companies but nobody talks to each other. It feels oddly sterile. When I worked out of General Assembly, the big benefit was that these companies would talk to each other, make deals or just help each other out with business/tech problems. Investors would come in to meet one company and would end up talking to a few more.

> News to me that the number of interactors reflects the success of refactoring in a codebase.

In the context of the article, that was given as a proof of refactor as you go. The team chose a direction that they wanted to refactor towards. The 183 interactors are proof that they made significant progress in that direction without having to do any sort of full stops.
I don't know about "vital" but I do think competition is intrinsic to it. They want to make a contribution to addressing this important problem, which means they want to beat others to it. It adds impetus.

Also, the motivations I mentioned apply, to some extent, to the funding bodies.
Guggy (YC S17) is hiring campus brand ambassadors (remote)
We have built a very cool technology which can take almost any text you write and match it with several funny, relevant GIFs.

We are building the funniest messaging app ever built and launching it soon. We like to laugh almost as much as we like to see our technology enable others to become more funny when chatting with their friends.

We are looking to launch in US campuses on May and are looking for resourceful (key requirement), creative brand ambassadors for a period of several weeks. The work will require research, preparation and enthusiastic execution. We are looking to hire the brand ambassadors on a temporary paid remote contractor basis.

If that sounds like you, we're happy to learn more about you: http://bit.ly/2o0Qa3Q

Situational Proximity - Beside the obvious compatibilities...If you are continually around someone in your youth and hang out, you tend to make long lasting friends. If you are partially and sporadically around someone because of logistics (spouse, work, location) you will not make long lasting bonds at the level you would compared to the first example. The other parts of the discussion are not significant to those points IMO.

Why can't they just say no if it's a not useful to them? How do the donors force them to take the money? I can't donate money to you and tell you to spend it on something - you'd just tell me to get lost.

Don't worry, I'm with you on this one. It's a garbage format, and it's assuredly a willful lack of organization as an exclusionary tactic, used to alienate people on some level, and require degrees of subordination among those late to the party. Is it simply a natural defense mechanism, that preserves an otherwise autonomous complex system? Maybe...

It's used all over the internet, and it's, by turns, a passive aggressive posture. Some acquiesce, and others enforce. The rest abandon. Linux follows a similar pattern with RTFM.

The Linux community process, as an example, has graduated to exclusion through sheer volume, with shrugs all around, as if to say the world really is just that complicated. But it's not. Inertia makes the situation more complicated than things need to be, and that disorganization (which was originally a product of the "everything is a file/lots of tiny, specialized executable programs" philosophy started with UNIX, leaves everyone blameless and) offers advantages to what I've come to refer to as trivia sherpas, who understand the seniority they've accumulated, and wish to keep things that way.

It often doesn't start as anything malicious, and some of it really is incidental, but that it stays that way is no accident. Sort of like the petroleum and automobile industry dynamic. Neither was an ideal solution for the problems they solve, but once circumstances snowballed in a certain direction, we all got stuck with these elephants in the room. Is it possible to uproot and improve the situation? I wonder...

Intello scores $1.3M seed round for SaaS management platform
Would it make sense to automatically require cars to obey to speed limits?
Given that:

- speeding causes many fatal accidents, especially in built-up areas
- GPS is cheap
- we have detailed information of speed limits in built-up areas
- self-driving cars likely obey these speed limits
- lower speeds produce less emissions

Why not implement a hard requirement that cars simply cannot exceed local speed limits in built-up areas (and school zones)?

If anything, in exchange for a discount in insurance premium, but as time moves on, simply make this a requirement for new cars.

I see this as very low-hanging fruit to implement, and leverage existing technology that is already available to everyone.

With, of course.
In my experience the facilities to throw tasks into a scheduler that will run them in parallel was never the hard thing to accomplish (regardless of the language: some may have built-in capabilities, others may have syntactic sugar provided by a lib, but at the end of the day, most systems provide some kind of runTask(f) method).

What's really hard is to break down a problem into parallelizable chunks, figure out as much independent work as possible to reduce the touchpoints, and coordinate all those tasks such that they keep the CPU as busy as possible and as a whole finish as early as possible.

Beyond this "parallel breakdown design", it's the little touchpoints with shared data structures and synchronization that creates the difficulty of implementation, and I haven't seen any language or system that does magic there.
But your example is begging the question. If you frame killing a human being as murder, you've already decided that it's unjust or unlawful. How about the death penalty, euthanasia, extrajudicial execution, war, honour killing or jihad/crusade? In all those cases, the killing party believes their actions are fully justified.
There are a billion assumptions wrapped up in those statements. I will address some of them.

1. Every link is NOT compensated fairly. Wages have been stagnant for decades; meanwhile, the cost of everything else (especially housing) continues to rise, sometimes astronomically. $7.25 is the federal minimum wage, and it is impossible to live on.

2. Plenty of people are coerced into enduring terrible employment simply because they need to survive. I get it, Walmart needs employees too, but they should be in a union. It shouldn’t be possible to fire something and hire them back to start them back at the lowest pay grade (yes, this is a real thing they actually do).

3. Capitalism doesn’t exist in a vacuum; nothing does. The Randian “well, everyone’s trading value for value” falls apart the minute you look at a $10,000 MRI bill, or a $7.25 minimum wage, or an entire city that’s been destroyed because production moved overseas. It doesn’t particularly matter how much stocking shelves “is worth”; if you are alive, you don’t deserve to live in squalor and poverty in the richest country in the world.
"4. Use fewer borders / 3. Add extra spacing". I'm not a big fan of this current trend. It seems that everyone is doing that and I found difficult to find the logical separation between elements.
To me, the "If it’s not thread-safe to do, then it won’t compile" part sounds rather more notable.

I don't think there's much reason to believe the "top" journals to have far more rigorous standards than the bulk of "just good" journals (which I'm sure have rigorous standards as well). It is plausible, though, that the research with potentially most impact gets submitted to the "top" journals first, resulting in the "just good" journals never having the chance to publish them.

It's very simple: yield to people making a left from Shrivensham, then enter the first roundabout. The internal circle is not a roundabout, people already inside will yield to you. So you can continue going forward (over the KEEP CLEAR area) and navigate around the center anti-clockwise. You yield again to people from Shrivensham and depending on what exist you want you need to traverse another one or two roundabouts and exit the desired road.

That about rounds it up, I would say!

Hackers Infiltrated Tesla to Mine Cryptocurrency
Automation makes jobs more complex. Going from 100 workers at a factory to 50 workers means the 50 workers remaining have harder and more valuable jobs. In a hypothetical case of a single worker at a factory they need to know how everything works vs a single station.

Really it's not automation that's destroying the middle class. It's information, a doctor can in theory look up symptoms without sending you to a specialist. In the case of information asymmetry the side with more information tends to collect more value and it's not workers who have gained the most information.

This happens by default, but isn't hard to change. I suspect this is why the likes of wework are startups while most are just buildings.

> The rich decides what needs funding while the poor, well, they do poor people stuff I suppose.

Taken out of context, it would be hard to know whether this is a criticism of the public sector or private.

> If you dislike the way the government spends money then you elect a different one. If you don't manage to do that then maybe "the public" doesn't disagree so strongly with the way the money is spent.

Taken at face value, believing that this is how it works realistically is quite similar to the impractical beliefs of pure, staunch libertarians.

Not that I take one side or the other, because I reside in the middle, but surely you can understand why people think governments are worse at things, waste more, and actually give individuals less control over where their dollars are spent.

Well you know Marx said it was inevitable so maybe we're hitting on a contradiction in capitalism that is too big to handle - the desire of individual firms to automate away their labor on a micro scale has the macro scale effect of eliminating all your consumers.

I prefer to wait until the work day has finished and then go to the pub and have a beer or two. I don't really understand the appeal of drinking at work (which seems more prevalent in US), surrounded by office equipment and computers, it's not really relaxing.
