> It's one of the most difficult languages for non-native speakers to learn.

It's really not that hard. The sheer amount of media available in English makes it easier to learn than the languages where you have to specifically seek out texts written by native speakers. The fact that it's very analytic [1] is also helpful. I found Spanish harder because the numerous verb conjugations are too difficult to remember. My native language's conjugations are even harder, but luckily I've been learning it since I was a baby.

A unit test would almost certainly explain the behavior in a completely separate place. That's not documentation.
There are several reasons. First, weapons are made to kill. Even if they're not used, if they're finally used, the result is someone's death.

Second, the USA is not only stabilizing peace, but from time to time disrupts it. Sometimes a war is waged without proper consideration. I think Iraq is the best example, but the intervention in Afghanistan wasn't necessary either.

Third, even if you say the above were just mistakes, and the leaders of the USA had good intentions, weapons are a product just like everything else, and so they're sold. The USA has a list of "good" and "bad" states, but circumstances change very quickly nowadays. Also, once you sell a weapon, even to a "good" state, you lose control.

On the other hand, there are some military applications that are actually meant to save lives rather than taking them. One good example is clearing land mines - I guess no engineer would have any problems helping in constructing a robot that would disarm mines and other explosives.

Hopefully someone more acquainted with the ecosystem can respond, but docker is built on lxc, and it appears that the intention of lxd is to do something similar - provide a low-level tool for docker and related tools to use, with some extra tools and security guarantees.
I was also under that impression until I came across your comment. I guess everyone got his lunch that day.
I use Mathematica daily and frequently store large-ish notebooks in Git. The format is textual, but the diffs are filled with a lot of noise.
I agree that most of the issues we encountered were early bugs that have been resolved. While Docker 1.12 and 1.13 had some stability issues with services, it was early and they’ve been addressed. Swarm has been really stable for us since then.

I’ve written and shipped a container scheduler/orchestration runtime that’s being used today for some enterprise workloads. It’s a hard problem, and Swarm, Kubernetes and nomad are are solving it well.

Swarm is often overlooked as a production grade platform, but it’s absolutely production grade.
At the time, computers were not something everyone used in their daily lives. They were something that was shared. In that context, an administrator denying users of the computer access to pretty important functionality (imagine you couldn't run a debugger on your laptop, or couldn't get root) is anti-user behaviour. Passwords were (at the time) a way to restrict users from being able to access the machine without the administrators permission (since an administrator could remove your login entry -- even if you were physically present at the computer you couldn't do anything).

RMS has said multiple times that technology doesn't change our values, because our values are far too ingrained in order to be changed as something as trivial technology. But different technologies change the outcomes that we judge using our values. The proliferation of the internet and data sharing changes whether or not passwords are a good thing (since they are now used to protect user data from other people, rather than block users from accessing a system they should have the rights to access).
The amount of damage Martin Fowler has done with his writing...
People have been saying "we might have invented everything" for hundreds of years.

I like the "invention wavefront" analogy, but I unfortunately can't remember where I learnt it.

Imagine the high-dimensional space of all possible things that can be invented. In the "centre" of the space is a hypersphere containing everything that has been invented to date. Every new invention is invented by "poking outwards" in one small place on the boundary of this hypersphere (hyperglobule) so that the hyperglobule now contains something that it didn't contain before. All inventions that could possibly be invented right now exist on the surface of the hyperglobule. Think of this as the "invention wavefront". Notice that as the globule expands, the wavefront becomes larger, not smaller. What this means is that as more things get invented, more new inventions become possible (intuitively: you can't invent better brakes for a car until you've invented a car, and so on).

"We might have invented everything" would imply that the space of all possible inventions is bounded, and we're running up against the edges of the box. But I don't see any reason it should be bounded.

I've actually emailed him about the topic of free software mobile phones. He is against them entirely, even if one was completely free software, because by design they track you using cell towers. He said that if he needs to use a phone he uses land-lines.

I can pull up the email if you like. He's a pretty reasonable guy if you ask him a question, and is surprisingly responsive.
I thought it was to do with the fact that you might want to use them separately sometimes? For instance you might want to repeat a line without a newline for a "bold" effect, or with underscores for underlining.
Hey thanks for putting this out there, it's a pretty cool project.

I see what you meant by it being slower, but that's only replication speed right? maybe that should be pointed out in the documentation when you find time to update it.

Such are the joys of modern "customer support" -- human beings don't scale, because they need to sleep and can only talk to one other human at a time. So you hire the cheapest ones you can find, and instruct them to be minimally helpful. Even better, make them all "managers," so "can I please speak to your manager" will just take you to another minimum-wage employee.

If you want actual customer support these days, your best bet is to create a PR problem for the company via social media, because PR flacks are paid enough to matter.

This is a ridiculous defence.

If you make weapons, you are a killer. If there were really a hell, you would be going to it.

Be you a blacksmith who crafts swords in the 10th century or a software developer who makes military drone software in the 21st.

That you celebrate the use of drones, which save the life of one American at the expense of many innocent non-Americans, shows how utterly morally bankrupt your views are.

Military drones are an evil, allowing the US to wage wars and kill innocents in "collateral damage", otherwise known as mass-murder, without the PR backlash of losing soldiers.

How is being able to guess how to pronounce a word most of the time worse than never being able to guess?
1. Read news once a day.

2. Never trust head lines. Use head lines only as an indicator that a certain event has happened. Always do your on research on topics that are important to you.

3. Never gauge the importance of a news item by the size of the font it is printed (or the number of up votes it has if it is on a forum).

4. Always follow up on important stuff. For example, if there is a news about a politician doing something bad, the media ll forget it after a couple of days. But follow up it regularly, and know how the story ends..

5. When statistics is involved, be extremely skeptical.

If I understand correctly, finishing the last citation with:

would at least resolve the problem of retaining user data indefinitely, but I also totally agree with the free interpretation of "Conducting research and analysis".

Also, because Profitwell is available to customers in Europe, it will soon have to align with GDPR requirements (which also includes the right to being forgotten), even if it's not a European company or otherwise face fine risks.

My Neighbors the Yamada is great but it is not really a Ghibli creation since it is adapted from an existing comic strip. Grave of The Fireflies comes from a book but is definitely a whole different thing.
I had a hard time understanding the post, too.

AFAICS, kaleidoscope produces random code (which does nothing meaningful) that should compile. Then, they feed the random code into the C++ compilers Clang, gcc, and MSVC. The random code triggers bugs in the compilers, which are summarized in the post.

Actually, they don't feed the random code, but kaleidoscope uses the template system to "directly" produce randome code.

I doubt that EU regulations are more onerous than their US counterparts. And, obviously, the EU is mostly just replacing country-specific regulations, making it about 16x easier to enter the European market.

I'd also like people to name specific regulations they disagree with, yet any time I challenge s/o they slink away.

In this case, a stripe rep in this thread posted a list of their todos for the EU. Note that literally "putting VAT ID numbers on invoices" makes their top 5! Can't be that bad after all:

"localize the invoices, add EU specific payment methods to invoices, improve tax support, make default invoice templates EU compliant with VAT ID"

I'd like to believe you are right and, without any ability to estimate where we are on what seems like an exponential curve, hope that things are evolving towards the positive at an ever increasing pace.

Interesting you should mention monkey brains, because my monkey brain also recoils at this optimism when it understands that most brains are still monkey brains, and I don't trust monkeys that create an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction which can totally wipe out all trace of the things you are rightly passionate about. The evidence is scarce that other than the obvious technological progress there has been any other progress but even that being so, I'm cautiously optimistic that the battle between monkey mind and enlightened mind will eventually be won by the latter rather than monkeys collectively going the way of the dinosaurs.

There really is no bad answer here. Regardless of which you choose, you can always cross register at the other institution. MIT/Harvard students are allowed to enroll in classes at the other institution, space permitting (Tufts, too if that is of interest). The schedules for classes do not line up perfectly, but if there are specific classes you really want to take at the other institution, you can make it work.

I was a student at Sloan and took three classes at HBS. In my experience, the Harvard students were very welcoming and the elitist stereotype did not prove true. When HBS students enrolled in my Sloan courses, they also proved to be friendly teammates.

I enjoyed my experiences at both institutions and don't feel you can go wrong here. If the network is the main thing you are after, HBS has a larger network as the class size is more than 2x the size at Sloan. Good luck with your decision, it seems like a great problem to have.
Why would you chose to work on a weapon system if you are unable to handle the fact that weapons are used to kill people? It's literally the job description.

Do you have proof that mining reduces card life outside of mechanical fan failure?

If anything im inclined to argue that reduced thermal cycling will result in these GPU's lasting longer than cards that get torched to 100% to game for an hour every day and then sit at idle the other 23 hours.

Thanks for explanation. I've seen the damage of KSMD as well.
For all practical purposes, I agree with the analogy, but would like to point out that the box might not be infinite so there could be limits to invention.

Take a chess game as an example. No one would say there weren't creative inventions regarding tactics and strategies to win, but the bottom line is that the number of possible chess games, no matter how staggeringly huge, is still finite. In the end, no matter how intelligent the players, there will be a point were nothing will be left to be invented, so perhaps life is also a solved game in that respect.

Ideas are most powerful when they’re wrapped in a compelling story. Leonard’s main point—economies can hardly be “planned” when not one soul possesses all the know-how and skills to produce a simple pencil—unfolds in the enchanting words of a pencil itself. Leonard could have written “I, Car” or “I, Airplane,” but choosing those more complex items would have muted the message. No one person—repeat, no one, no matter how smartor how many degrees follow his name—could create from scratch a small, everyday pencil, let alone a car or an airplane.

This bothers me a lot because I want to support economic liberalization but I can't.

Something I didn't think about even a few months ago is that people are individuals. They have their own hopes and dreams. A CEO is an individual. They do what is best for them. Often, what is best for them isn't what's best for the corporation in the long term much less what is good for the world. Project managers are also individuals. Sometimes, success of a project will be detrimental to its manager's career.

I'm sorry for bringing this up because like they say I relatively learned of principal agent problem and so I see it everywhere (sort of like how you see a vw beetle everywhere if you count vw beetles driving in the road).
