Eh, I think a lot of it is that sturgeon's law dominates all. most pop is bad in that generic way, and Christian pop is a small subset of all pop. If you really go deep into any niche genre, there's a lot of bad music that you won't hear unless you really search for music within that obscure genre.

I mean, I think that's part of why so much classical music is so good; we only hear what people thought was worth preserving and replaying for hundreds of years. I mean, one of my favorite pieces of music overall could be classified as christian music... Beethoven's 9th.

But mostly, I think it's the 'small genre' issue. I mean, I went through a period where I only listened to punk, and then only to certain obscure sub genres of punk, and you get to a point where there's one good band... then sometimes only one good song, and the rest, well, you've filtered on genre rather than quality, so most of it is crap.

If the reputation of your company is reliant on plugging leaks then there's probably something really, really wrong with your company.

Don't gather data you can't manage it ethically.

Facebook has a responsibility to protect user data they have collected, and if they can't then they shouldn't.
I think the (Ayn)Randian world view which is being very solidly espoused these days may have something to do with this. I find a lot of my US resident friends, working in the ICT sector are very self-actualized and their resentment against poverty interventions, health or otherwise vocalize as 'they made bad decisions, they have to learn from them' which of course, in the case of dying, is a lesson hard (to) learn.

I don't think quite so many people in the northern european high tax welfare state economies do this but I certainly have heard it there too. I think grumbles about 'why them: why do they deserve more compassion (than me)' are timeless

There is a lot of this vibe in Australia. It's been bred into us by successive rounds of government, handing back tax which re-inforces a believe needing tax spend to equalize society is inherently bad.

A friend says to me quite often that the generation which invented the functional welfare state, the one which fought in the WWII is dying out, and with it, the compassion which arose from that fight. Maybe he's right? Maybe it took a giant war about rights and responsibilities, to drive people into cohesive, socially just models, which are now on the long tail.

'we can't afford it' feels like the background story to this. resentment about 'my tax dollars' being spent to prop up somebody else's bad lifestyle.

I think. Anyway.
Obviously off topic now, but as a youngster in the gym I used to use a similar machine that required me to lay down and push my legs. I worked my way up to max weights on that machine (very quickly). One day I pushed my legs out and heard this terrible crunch come from my lower spine, was barely able to hobble back home. It was near enough back to normal after 2 days or so, but scared the hell out of me.

For me it goes to show that humans are more fragile than we often like to think.

I'm on my fifth or sixth pair of Shure Se215's now. Awesome sound, isolation and fit, but eventually the connectivity between the ear buds and the cable will start to fail. (6 months to 1 year).

I've been keeping an eye on peer-to-peer/federated social networks for a while. And though I left Facebook a couple of months ago, none of these can replace it until they do one simple thing: Allow one user to post to another users "feed". This is what Google+ was missing when it came out. This is what Twitter is missing. This is the reason why Facebook is so popular, IMO.

I see something on the Internets which I think my wife would like, but I also want her/our friends to see it and I post it on her wall/timeline. I don't want to post it on my feed, that won't help, and I don't want to private message it to her, that also won't help.

Any of these social networks add this feature - then I will champion them to the end of the Internet.

And perhaps add support for events. But that can be an adjacent but compatible application.

Well, it’s not linked on their site, but I did manage to find it for Rent (and Pre-Order) on the iTunes Store for Canada. I tried a few other international stores and couldn’t find it, though. IMDB indicates release dates only for US, Canada ... and Denmark, strangely enough. I presume it will eventually arrive in other markets as the rights are negotiated. It’s perhaps to their best advantage to make a splash in North America first, it may help future negotiations?
Correct me if I’m wrong - but isn’t this more like ‘inference of intent’?

That depends on what you mean by "independent." There is a space between standard faculty and hermit researcher.

Depending upon the field, you can do research, publish, go to conferences, have a network of peers, without being standard faculty. I know research professors who have very few of the standard faculty obligations, for example. I also know people who do research entirely on private funding, but this almost always requires significantly more than just savings from retiring early, and they still stay part of the academic community.

I agree that it is not something that should be advertised as an option, because it is very rare, but it does exist.
And I think it's mildly insulting to be classified as a subpar male, a "male female friend". Worse, because she's not going to trust me as much as her proper female friends, she would always be on guard. Certainly damaging to the male ego. I don't cultivate such relationships unless I don't feel attracted to the woman in question. Think of the "disabled" "friend" of Mary from "There's Something About Mary".

Hi All,

As a dev everyone dream is to write a language which helps others and themselves but to do that will you start writing a new language?? If you say yes you have to take all responsibilities.

Actually, you don't need to do that, you can be part of growing community. It is time to do that.

Finally, I want to say that I am going to start writing a language based on experience taken from many devs who worked on different languages.Do you want to be part of it you can join the slack channel using below link

Why would you ever believe it was private? I think Twitter is better because everything is explicitly public, rather than dishonestly pretending it's private.
I've gotten quite used to doing just this. It started out as a habit from cpp where I relied on RVO, but for small structs the price of copying it vs copying a pointer to it seems extremely minimal apart from the temporary double allocation. Also, does anyone know if gcc or clang does something along the lines of RVO behind the scenes? I fail to see any side effects from it, so it should be entirely possible, no?
Here's another concrete example I saw recently:
https://twitter.com/CharlieBinbags/status/974936532896370688
But that isn't really use the case for a typical social network. Most people I know post the vast majority of their posts as "friends only", and even those that make public posts usually limit comments to friends only. The only form of communication that should be allowed by non-friends is "friend request", and really: once you've been using a strong social network for any period of time, you can turn on "only allow friend requests from friends of friends" without much consequence (of course, it will take a new network time for that to be viable).

> Mostly you do research by being interested in something. If you need someone to tell you what to be interested in, a PhD may not be for you.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting but this comment seems a bit condescending.

The thing is, it's not really research unless it's something new, and you can't know if something is new unless you know what already exists.

> All disciplines have journals, and many are either public access or available on sci-hub. If all else fails you can get a limited JSTOR subscription for only a moderately outrageous sum.

Sure you can have access to journals but how do you even know what you should search for? I suppose this is sufficient if what you want to do research in is something that is currently mainstream?

I don't think anti-abuse systems exist in centralized solutions. If there's some nuthead who's persistent to post their important opinion (or whatever they have to post), the only thing that works reliably is restricting commenting to "friends only". Which should be possible regardless of the architecture, as long as system has ACLs and poster identification.

There are some obstacles (like phone number verification) that centralized systems can benefit from and that are harder to have in a distributed systems because of trust issues - but they're not really working at any scale and only thwart least persistent persons.

And to answer the second part of your question, being bisexual(bi-curious) I wouldn't mind having sex with a male friend if he's in shape, and I would even propose if I lived in a less homophobic country.

The bottom line is being friends with a woman I actually desire is harmful to me in the long term. I've been there and not going to make that mistake again.

Well the answer is surprisingly simple. Suppose you only have one person that's wallhacking on your team. He's calling out positions for everyone else. He can play terribly, but since the calls are going out, your team still wins. (This is not a hypothetical and has actually happened in high level matches before.)

I've done it a few times. I'm now firmly of the opinion that ideally the only language you should see in code is a programming language. If you can not express the intent clearly in the programming language, then you should work at it until you can. It's not always possible and I write comments when I have to. Some languages are not very expressive, either, which makes it difficult.

The main problems I've had with literate programming are:

- It has a very high risk of being very slow going. If you have to change something, then you will often find that you need to change a lot of prose.

- Because of the previous point, there is a tendency to do a lot of up front design and spike a lot of code to "get it right" before you commit to writing the prose. There's no particular problem with that except that it places a very high cost on change. There is considerable incentive to accept a sub-optimal situation because changing it will be extremely expensive.

- It is quite difficult to write prose in a reference style. Generally speaking, one is encouraged in literate programming to write your code in "presentation order". In other words, the order that you would discuss things. This is fantastic if someone is sitting down and reading your code from scratch. It makes it difficult to find the wheat in the chaff when you are debugging, though.

- Because of that, I find that I'm more often reading the undocumented code rather than the documented code -- because once I understand what's going on it's far easier and faster to just read the source code. Jumping around between the generated code and the presented code is often frustrating.

Having said that, I've found that I really like programming in a literate style when I'm writing a blog post, or the like. Because I'm thinking more in prose than in code, it works extremely well.

My personal suspicion is that Knuth had great success using literate programming for TeX precisely because he was more concerned about describing algorithms for typesetting than he was about writing a great typesetting system. I love TeX (and I'm one of the few people who actually has considerable experience using TeX without LaTeX), but it is a horrible language that works exceptionally well. In many ways I think that it demonstrates the issues that I've had with literate programming.

Every day you spend learning about PHP is a day that you are not learning about the languages that are really moving the industry forward to interesting new places.

That's "chasing shiny". Shiny is the cancer destroying the computer industry from the inside.

Any day not learning how to do web application development in LISP is a day wasted. The old tech is still cutting edge, way ahead of any new shiny garbage, because that garbage is decidedly not moving the industry forward, just introducing one more variation of making a computer do something. And that's extremely bad.
