These terms are so frustrating because they have "consistently wrong intuitive semantics" (I don't know better term). They are like cognitive puns.

It's so easy to guess their meaning consistently wrong that people don't brother to look them up. When several people wrongly guess the semantics wrong exactly the same way and talk to each other, new meaning is established.

It's not uncommon to have office debate of the difference where 9 people are sure that they know the right definition and the one person who argues for the right definition can't convince them.

EDIT: there are already at least two comments that argue that the wrong definition is the right definition. These guys feel so strongly that their definition is right that nothing convinces them and people agree. It's a hopeless pursuit to get this right.

"This is some rare TV footage of LSD research conducted in Los Angeles in 1956 by Dr. Sidney Cohen, which included an interview with Gerald Heard, an Anglo-Irish philospher who turned on a number of influential Americans in the 1950s. Among them was AA co-founder Bill Wilson, who thought LSD could help some drunks have a spiritual awakening. Wilson's first trip was in this very room in summer of 1956 and was supervised by Dr. Cohen and guided by Mr. Heard. The whole story, and much more, is told in "Distilled Spirits -- Getting High, Then Sober, with a Famous Writer, a Forgotten Philosopher, and a Hopeless Drunk" by Don Lattin, the author of the bestselling "The Harvard Psychedelic Club." The "Famous Writer" in this blend of memoir and group biography is Aldous Huxley, the author of "Brave New World" and "The Doors of Perception."

> "Pass-by-reference: The formal parameter merely acts as an alias for the actual parameter."

"Alias" means nothing to a CPU, nor is it an ABI. At the core, passing by reference is usually implemented by providing the "address-of" something to a function (for example). The "address-of" itself, is passed by value. Going by that logic, everything everywhere is passed by value.
> Sliding/skidding (where the board is manoeuvred in the direction perpendicular to the movement) will make you loose speed pretty quickly.

Yeah, but it has the disadvantage of wearing out the wheel surface and requiring some technique. Any asshole can pretty a brake lever, and brake pads are cheaper than wheels.

> Apart from that motor can be used to brake.

It can be iff the controller is configured to. I thought I saw another comment mentioning this article's device is only rigged to go forward. I agree with you that an electric motor might be a sufficient brake for this application (at least, better than nothing).

> Pretty convenient though won't stop you as quick as some friction brake.

Yeah, it's hard to beat the mechanical simplicity.

> [lack of handlebars] is only a problem if you either don't know how to steer with the board, or are trying to take sharp turns at too high speed

I was talking about braking performance, actually. Handlebars help you throw your weight back and keep it in the right place for rapid braking.

I don’t think the content belongs here. I come here to get away from this kind of headline and the related discussion. I don’t care about anyones sexuality, but the homosexuals of the world and other people whose sexuality defines their sense if self won’t stfu about it.

Well downvoters, everybody who flagged this obviously agrees with me so suck on that.
The problem comes when enough of the server is up to do a health check, but not enough to actually serve the request. For instance, a Java app server which has one app to respond to health checks, and another app to do processing - the second one can be jammed while the first one's happily reporting that everything's okay.

If you then move the health check into the main app, maybe it eliminates a lot of false positives but the same thing can then happen further into the stack...

Another way of saying this is "reference by value." The people who say things are pass-by-reference when they're "pass by pointer value" have likely never worked with a true pass-by-reference language, and are just taking the phrase at its English face value.

The article itself alludes to a 'EuroSCORE' that purports to rate the risk of mortality beforehand. It seems like the mortality ratings should be risk-adjusted. A double-blind system as you suggest could work like this: First, the rating system would be opt-in on the part of the participating surgeons. It seems likely that patients would prefer rated surgeons, so there would be an incentive to participate but it would not be mandatory. Those who belonged to the rating body would be required to do anonymous risk assessment on some number of cases per month. They wouldn't know who the patients are or who is treating them, they would only get anonymized records. Their risk assessments would be calibrated in the short run against other assessments, and in the long run against outcomes. These calibrated risk assessments would be used to adjust the score of the treating surgeon on the outcome, so that they would be penalized less for mortality in patients with a very high assessed risk.
I'm pretty certain that tweet is not an official EventBrite account. Ignore it.

Not that I'm saying you should ignore this story - this is clearly a terrible move on EventBrite's part and the clause should be scrapped.
I've worked on a system which communicated errors by responding with a 200 and then indicating the error in the response body!

Similarly, you might have e.g. a server which is responding to a 'get all widgets in category' call by quickly responding '200 OK, no widgets found', and thus ends up sucking up all the traffic.

I'm taking down my old Drupal site and moving the content I care about to Medium. But there are a lot of links out in the wild to the Drupal pages.

So I'd like to configure a bunch of redirects to bounce people from the old Drupal urls to the new Medium pages.

Will I have to do it by hand for each URL I care about, or are there some tools to help doing that, like scraping google or my logs for a histogram of incoming links, to determine which ones matter the most?

I'd appreciate any links or suggestions about tools or techniques to migrate out of a CMS like Drupal and redirect old links to the new pages. How to play well with google and SEO, how to normalize the urls, what kind of redirects to use, what nuances are there about which urls to redirect, etc?
I was looking for some kind of indicator when this article was written as the topic and style of design could be from the 90’s and the copyright goes from 1996 to 2014
This is the answer. Under the definition proposed in the article, all languages where the "=" operator can copy the values inside referents are "pass-by-reference." Languages where the "=" operator lacks that capability are pass by value. That is the only difference between swap in java and c++. In C++, operator= is a method over the value of the referent. In Java, you have to explicitly call that method. IMO it is a useless definition of "pass-by-reference," but the author is entitled to it.

(With the exception of primitives. I guess that's the real rub -- Java's special casing of primitive values.)
Are there AC adapters that don't require proprietary firmware to run?
This article is overly pedantic. Java's semantics are pass-by-value only of you consider that the "values" that are being passed are pointers. But Java doesn't have first-class pointers, it has implicit pointers. The only thing you can do with a Java pointer "value" is to tacitly dereference it.

In fact, you can write a swap(x,y) function in Java. It goes something like this:

class foo { int value }

void swap(foo x, foo y} {
int temp = x.value;
x.value = y.value;
y.value = temp;
}

(Yes, I know this isn't valid Java. Cut me a little slack here, OK?)

"But that's cheating" you protest. "That's not swapping the value of X and Y, that's swapping the value of a slot in the values of X and Y, which happen to be objects." Well, yeah. So? Compare that to this C code:

struct foo { int value }

void swap(struct foo x, struct foo y) {
[same code as above]
}

The effect of this function will be DIFFERENT. Specifically, the C function will have no effect while the Java function will swap the value slots of X and Y because C lets you pass a structure as a value while Java does not. All Java "values" are (tacit) pointers to objects [1]. Pounding your fist on the table and insisting that Java is pass-by-value because you can't write a swap(x,y) function obscures this crucial difference.

[1] OK, it also has ints and floats of various sizes. But that's really it.

I'd change that to "enterprise CMS". Experienced sole proprietor web devs have often moved to lightweight, non-enterprise, non-feature-packed CMSes, this being one reason.

In C# you have an explicit syntax for passing a mutable pointer (i.e. a pointer to the pointer) so it's harder for people to get confused.

I feel the same as you, and I think it's worth thinking about. At the risk of sounding very "get off my lawn"-ish (I'm only early 30s!)

So the swearing at a person in congratulations is telling that how an envious external audience member would feel about their accomplishment, while the person you are swearing at takes absolutely no offense and is very complimented.

It's not about accepting it vs not accepting it, it's about determining what is most likely

Also it is a somewhat accepted opinion that Chinese and Polynesians may have travelled to and from the Americas, however, the evidence is inconclusive and they don't seem to have established long-term ties, so it's hard to say. Even more cultures may have discovered the Americas, such as Mali and Japan, but if they did, those expeditions were one-way

A large number of those are of the form "If X continues, bad thing Y will happen", and they are being called wrong predictions because bad thing Y did not happen. But Y did not happen because X did not continue, either because we purposefully stopped X from continuing partly to avoid Y, or something replaced X for other reasons unrelated to Y and the new X did not have the properties that could lead to Y.

MODERN DAY HITLERS USING DRUGS AND VIRUS-CAUSING AIDS AND INFERTILITY
Okay, so I know rats have significance in some cultures - for example, to some Maori tribes, kiore, the Polynesian rat found in limited locations in NZ (due to being outcompeted by Norwegian and black rats) are considered taonga "treasure" - but honestly, what would the ecological harm be if rats went extinct?

Do they fill a vital ecological niche? In New Zealand, they certainly don't, they have supplanted a niche already occupied by our weta - an insect that evolved to fill the niche normally occupied by rodents. (And to show how far it goes, our native owls were the main predators of weta before mammals were introduced, much as how owls worldwide are predators of mice and rats)

Do you do full recompilations all the time? Don't you use incremental builds? If yes, the compilation time should only rarely be a problem.

Sports do not all benefit equally from PEDs. The requirement to demonstrate high level muscular endurance over such prolonged time periods makes the relative benefits to cyclists very high.

This is different to most sports where you are less likely to grossly manipulate the factors contributing to optimal performance with PEDs. Or at least not be able to manipulate them enough to be out of range of talented non-users.
I don't agree with Anti-Pattern 10 - Not converting production bugs to tests

I used to think this was a good idea too, until I saw the real statistics on a project on this.

This project (50+ developer team) tracked all bugs, and also if they were regressions or not. Almost 0 regression occurred of bugs that were fixed before.

All testing needs to consider return on investment. The reality, at least for that project, was that testing time was best spent elsewhere.
Can a Machine Be Conscious? Towards a Conscious AI
This is actually the single biggest problem I've seen in test suites. I'd much prefer to see ugly un-DRY test code than overly engineered test code. The number of times I've had test suites that are passing tests by coincidence is depressingly large and is always due to this sort of behavior. Yes, we're all software devs and we like writing good code, but in tests it's much more important to be able to isolate and verify that the tests are correct than it is to be pretty.
I have to agree with the other poster on this. I only full compile once in the beginning and once at the end. Every other time, I just recompile the changed part and rebuild it with the unchanged object files.

But if you're talking about packages from source, then I agree. It's the one thing that sometimes makes me question whether or not I should upgrade. But, after a full night of compiling Qt5 from source, that lingering doubt usually vanishes.
Can you give me a citation for your first quote (from George Ward). Although it seems to show up on a lot of self-described "climate skeptic" pages, I can't seem to find any legitimate source for it. It shows up in wikipedia as well, but the citation there just leads to the same tangled mess of "climate skeptic" pages that all seem to cite each other.

I'm really curious if George Wald said this at all, and if he did, what specifically he was talking about. Nuclear proliferation was another of his areas of activism, for example.

But Java isn't pass-by-reference. Saying so is simply wrong, for exactly the reasons you write off as "pedantry". I see this play out all the time with co-workers who are new to Python (which has the same semantics) being very confused about why "numbers are passed by value but objects are passed by reference".

Pedantry matters in our profession. Details have consequences.

> "Alias" means nothing to a CPU, nor is it an ABI.

But the language isn't defined in terms of a CPU. It's defined in terms of abstract semantic rules. You shouldn't think about implementation, especially at the CPU level, when talking about semantics.

The idea is that the alias is implicit in pass-by-reference. It isn't implicit in pass-by-value. How you implement that alias is irrelevant for discussion at this level.
This is similar to relational algebra & relational databases.

In relational algebra a "relation" is what most people know as a "table".

"relation" is maybe a good name in the realm of relational algebra, but a bad name in the realm of users of relational databases.

In this case "pass-by-value" and "pass-by-reference" are good names in the realm of compiler theory ("I'm a compiler guy at heart") but very, very bad names in the context of discussing parameter passing in java & objects.
Back in '95 or so I saw someone who used an old turbo (well, half a turbo) to the same effect during a field trip in one of my "appropriate engineering" classes. I guess it was (is?) enough of a thing they figured out the formulas to size the turbo vs the water head &etc.

Much smaller scale but along with a little solar and a little wind they were 100% off the grid.

I don’t believe your statement that AI is just a subset of software. It’s almost entirely math. Furthermore, “somebody like yourself or anybody else can’t pick it up” is wildly untrue. You realize that the people in the articles are researchers, not practitioners, right? They’re the Albert Einstein’s of the industry dreaming up new deviations and architectures. I think you’re severely downplaying what they’ve achieved.

You might as well say that Michael Schumacher just drives a car pretty well, so most of us could spend a bit of time in training and win F1

The reason I go out of my way to insist I can’t do that is that I’m not in my 20s, and it would be delusional of me to think AI is “nothing magic” and I can watch some YouTube videos to become the worlds best.
