On the other hand, it's horrific to me that my fate can be decided by people who have no formal education in law and can be swayed toward a guilty verdict by the prosecutors even in the absence of evidence - if they "feel" someone is guilty then they vote that way. That is insane to me personally. Yes, a judge might have a bias - but their decisions have to be based in the law and either you broke a law or you haven't - they can't go "well, there is no evidence, but I feel like you're guilty, so off to prison with you!" - a jury of peers can absolutely do that(the judge can overrule them for gross negligence of their duties but that doesn't happen very often).
> You could probably turn education free by reducing the defence budget by a few percentage points.

According to https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=75, in the 2014–2015 school year U.S. colleges & universities spent $536 billion; the 2014 defense budget was $526.6 billion[0]. We could spend our entire defense budget and still not cover our higher education bill.

Ah, ok, I misread. Yeah, that requires a subquery then, but not because of floats being unsuitabe for sorting, but because you're doing a 1-to-many thingy in a 1-to-1 way by hardcoding 3 columns. It's like writing

items[0].text + items[1].text + items[2].text

In code to simplify it, instead of

items.slice(0,2).map((e) => e.text).concat('');

The former mostly works, but it's definitely not elegant. And you have to be sure the number of items being 3 is set in stone.
IOCP is very complicated to code against, though. kqueue can do nearly all the same things and is both much cleaner and more portable.

> most average things ever ie sports and such (which I don't follow -at all-). Like, really, you have nothing better on me ?

To me, that is part of the problem.

For years Facebook, and Google, have been telling the world they understand us better than we know ourselves, and all the fine-grained ways they can categorise and predict us. They actually seem to believe it. Then when they allow us to look at what they have inferred it is usually comically wrong for pretty much everyone.

Then they go on to sell to us, categorise and bubble us as though it were fact, and sell access to this marvellous factual data or sell their marvellous data mining capability to riffle through vast amounts of NHS data, or predict crime, or...

We're building a global infrastructure with a foundation of that 98% bullshit. That was mostly harmless when it was just about product ads. When it moves on to health, justice and politics and it's shown they're able to move the needle I think it does matter. Perhaps not much to anyone personally, but to society as a whole.

>This release cycle makes no sense to me. We haven’t even finished migrating all our components to compile with JDK8 yet

Why is it Oracles fault that you keep your components on Java version that has been deprecated and support dropped 4 years ago?

>What company with a reasonably large software base is going to keep up with a six-month release schedule?

What? No. That's now how it works. Every 3rd release is LTS and it support time is between 6 and 11 years as so far discussed. Java8 won't be supported after January 2019, Java11 (LTS) will be release in September this year.

> Java isn’t a web browser or some other user application. Who would even _want_ to spend the kind of resources required to constantly be testing new JDK releases?

You're not supposed to be testing it. You're supposed to write code to a contract, contract won't or shouldn't change. If you write code that follows implementation instead a contract (let's say you relay on HashSet order - I've seen it), it's your fault. We always make sure we write code that follows the contract. We're migrating our code base to Jigsaw now, after Spring 5 and SpringBoot1.5 were release with updated dependencies. If Spring and Tomcat teams made it available earlier, we would be on Java9 months ago.

Actually what people need to know about OOP is that they should use as little of it as possible. Focus on your data and data flow, make it as easy as possible for everyone to understand where the bits start and where they end, and you're good to go.
If anything, OOP makes development slower, unless you're dealing with very specific edge cases like GUI programming.
I'm in the right business and Mulesoft hits the mark when your star devs leave and you're left with maintenance staff because it constrains the degree of complexity in the initial implementation.

It of course depends on what do you want. We don’t want a new Facebook to take over for Facebook, as it would just recreate the same issues.

We need to rethink what social is and needs to be on the web. People are unwilling to pay for these services, yet spend hours on them every day. This is a big issue. People are unwilling to pay for the servers, and engineers, yet become frantic when they learn that indeed FB wasn’t as free as they thought.

So that’s issue number one. If you are unwilling to pay with your privacy, pay with your wallet. Right now, there is very little willingness from the people to pay for the services they use, but once newspapers start charging, and information on the web in general start to cost money, that’s when we can rethink the product.
Builders of bridge for general public use have a legal obligation for safety. That's not comparable.

Moreoever, I have made bridges across streams, using stones and logs, which were not safe. And left them there as-is, because there isn't an obligation that these sorts of throw-it-together hiking bridges actually be safe for others. The risk is entirely on the crosser. If you try to cross it, slip, knock your head on a rock, and drown, there is no blame on me. (Plus, it might have been safe when I made it, but the water conditions changed, or if overnight it iced over, etc.)

Look at it another way. If I post a poem on my web site, for people to read for free, and you think it's crap, I don't have an obligation to edit the poem to your liking or even read your criticism.

Do I have an ethical obligation to not post shitty poetry on the world? No! I don't even have the obligation to not be snide to criticism I don't like.

And I believe you are saying that it's unethical for all of those college students in introductory CS classes to host their software - almost all of which are 'shit software' - on a public system like github.

About signal processing AFAIK it's only this particular author, Michael Robinson https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=WxsA8yEAAAAJ&hl=en He's also got short book Topologica Signal Processing.

About all the other things, you want to follow the field of Applied Algebraic Topology. People such as Robert Ghrist, Shmuel Weinberger, Herbert Edelsbrunner, Gunnar Carlsson, Justin Curry whose thesis was on applied sheaf theory (it's nice and readable). Mostly the collaborations they part in, them just being in good places in the citation graph (OTOH Carlsson's Ayasdi Inc. is sadly very much a vapourware). Also, in over a decade of very active research in this area progress is being made mostly on the applicable algebraic topology part, not necessarily the applied part.

Kindle/Google Play versions are out now. Print book comes in April. Highly recommended by some Geomorphology friends.

Oxford Press Description:

The proposal that the impact of humanity on the planet has left a distinct footprint, even on the scale of geological time, has recently gained much ground. Global climate change, shifting global cycles of the weather, widespread pollution, radioactive fallout, plastic accumulation, species invasions, the mass extinction of species - these are just some of the many indicators that we will leave a lasting record in rock, the scientific basis for recognizing new time intervals in Earth's history. The "Anthropocene," as the proposed new epoch has been named, is regularly in the news.

Even with such robust evidence, the proposal to formally recognize our current time as the Anthropocene remains controversial both inside and outside the scholarly world, kindling intense debates. The reason is clear. The Anthropocene represents far more than just another interval of geologic time. Instead, the Anthropocene has emerged as a powerful new narrative, a concept through which age-old questions about the meaning of nature and even the nature of humanity are being revisited and radically revised.

This Very Short Introduction explains the science behind the Anthropocene and the many proposals about when to mark its beginning: The nuclear tests of the 1950s? The beginnings of agriculture? The origins of humans as a species? Erle Ellis considers the many ways that the Anthropocene's "evolving paradigm" is reshaping the sciences, stimulating the humanities, and foregrounding the politics of life on a planet transformed by humans. The Anthropocene remains a work in progress. Is this the story of an unprecedented planetary disaster? Or of newfound wisdom and redemption? Ellis offers an insightful discussion of our role in shaping the planet, and how this will influence our future on many fronts.

If you want to change your culture, then reward positive behavior, fire sources of unapologetic cultural toxicity, and hire people who believe and profess the cultural change you seek.

Sorry, by OP I meant the Law&Crime article. As much as I strongly disagreed with mannykannot, disagreement != "full of shit" (at least on HN, for me).

The disagreement between me and mannykannot has to do with our fundamental assumptions. He believes that the OP's allegation -- that Facebook PR contacted the NYT, and the NYT afterwards edited its story -- is a sound premise. My argument (among many) is that the OP has provided no evidence for assuming that premise.

Not only did the NYT reporter explain what FBPR told her (they gave her an official statement to be associated with Stamos), they've denied that FBPR pressured them to do anything else. FB PR certainly hasn't said anything. I know that this is what we should expect to be the case if NYT and FB were in cahoots, but in these situations, the reporter making such an allegation has done the investigative reporting to find sources who can make the claim (NYT's story on Facebook is very dependent on anonymous sources).

So from my perspective, there is no reason to think that FB PR visit and NYT story update/edit have a causal relationship. I think mannykannot think I doth protest too much (which is fair!) and that my rationalizations and evidence is no more valid than what a conspiracy theorist would be doing.

That's fine, HN isn't about winning debates :)
TypeScript vs. Flow – Getting Started
Or just ask "Nothing to hide from whom?"
I agree. I have found this to be the 'easiest' with 'smaller' list sizes (definitely less than 50 - ordering of UI elements).

Implement a specific call that takes a list of all IDs in the new order, and batch run the UPDATEs on the server side.

I did enjoy the article, but did not realize it was PostgreSQL specific until towards the end.

Very clever, Argyle.
For the query to retrieve the items back in order, logically it goes like:

select * from (items) order by `prev` --`next` doesn't help
-- also hope that NULL is at the beginning

So it's no better than Approach 1. in the article, but is actually worse with the extraneous column in storage and head scratching for the next maintainer of the system.

Exercise for the reader: what happens when item id #3 is moved in between item id #1 and #2, how many update statements are needed?

I imagine even the most socialist/communist/whatever is at least partly incentivised by earning a living too.

In fact, isn't that the problem, that quantity of publications (and citations) is used as a metric for continued employment? Those awarding research grants, etc., don't provide a free open-access publication as the place publication is required.

It seems governments could fix this in favour of the public quite easily; require publication in an open access journal of all research (papers and data) with any funding from the public purse.
It is totally possible to implement these patterns without Akka. The blog post highlights the way be implemented some of these patterns.

You may decrease coupling with the use of interfaces or type classes.

This way you do not use concrete types in the construction, you link things with requirements on/between the parameters.

Please take a look at the Expression Problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_problem

This thing is an essence of question how to design low coupled system when initially high coupling is expected. There are solutions for most languages and, probably, for your statically typed language of choice (from statically typed languages).
I had a look at your latest viewer project, but I missed the high level problem this is solving. i.e. what is the real world use case you had that made you invent this library.

By providing the real world use case, you'll have people that can relate their own use cases. Thanks!

AFAIK you can waive your right to a jury trial and simply appear before a judge in most jurisdictions.

In general through, judges have a strong bias towards the prosecution. DAs and judges are often extremely friendly since they work with each other every day. I would say that if you're innocent or your case has any extenuating circumstances, you almost always have a better shot with a jury than a judge.

Juries also allow for jury nullification, which allows for unjust laws to be ignored.

I dearly wish that jury trials were available in all cases. I recently went through a non-criminal case where justice was decidedly not served. The judge, of course, claimed he "had to follow the law" but his interpretation of the law contradicted the plain-text reading of the relevant statute. I had no choice but to suck it up unless I wanted to drop the rest of my life savings on an appeal. I feel pretty confident a jury would have seen things very differently.
I'm too young to remember the first cold war, but it seems totally insane to me that Russia is carrying out repeated war crimes routinely now, and the West is literally doing nothing to address it.

The urge for long prison sentences can be explained by reasons 1, 2 and 4.
