I'm not saying new applications shouldn't be built on lisp. Most applications don't have huge scaling requirements. But, if you expect the application to grow, have a plan in place for migration.

Much of the thinking that we call philosophy was created to make sense of the apparent conflict between particular western institution, like (western) science and religion. There are thinkers in other parts of the world who are interested in similar issues, but it might not be right to categorize it as philosophy because they don't have the same sort of clash in their culture to make sense of. That is, western philosophy was consciously created to oppose religious dogma and scientific reductionism, but the same can't be said about (say) Buddhist philosophy, even though they ask similar questions. In other words, part of what makes philosophy "philosophy" is that it insists that it's something different than religious or scientific theory.

Create a "groceries" account then. If your country is anything like mine, business can not even break the receipts over several account, so you ask for different receipts for equipment, and fill each one on the correct account.

If you fail to enter things, you'll have to pay tax on them. It's not the end of the world, but not something you want to do often either.
Actually, good question to flip back to you.

I don't buy anything except groceries at the grocery store. So that's simple. But, let's say I go to Walmart, and I buy hosehold items and some socks. I would have to split that. I'm not real picky about taxes, so I usually just take out the amount of the socks and put that under clothes and the rest would go under hosehold.
It was clear enough to know at least 2 years ago that you can't just make personal data public on the Web.

Here, as in all cases, the supposed vagueness is just a lame excuse to not even start an honest effort of protecting personal data.

ICANN obviously tried to play a game here (let's sit this out and see what happens), and now is under water.
We don’t do that because it doesn’t make sense. How would that even work? Use the 2017 tax year as an example. You obviously can’t compute 2017’s taxes until the year is over. So how do you stagger? Is my deadline in January? That’s not really fair to me if someone else has a deadline in May.
I could repeat everything that was written above. Exactly my experience. Just do the right thing and SEO will happen by itself.

I don't think this problem of promotion is unique to government - this applies everywhere in modern sales and image-oriented business cultures rather than longevity and loyalty. Maintenance hardly gets any innovation in general compared to new products and lines of business itself due to the obsession with growth in a lot of business (maintaining systems gets thrown to lower tiers of talent and under-funded once the parade is over - this applies across just software too). It's impossible for me to get the recognition compared to engineers pushing out flashy demos that attract new dollars but when I optimize infrastructure systems and systems to squeeze out 50%+ more transactions / second without paying more hardly anyone seems to care even in engineering.
I don't see the big deal. We've been using 'AI' in medical equipment for nearly decade. Look at DeVinci surgery devices. Its just until recently the technology has been called AI.
too causally dense for us to ... make accurate predictions.

And even if we had perfect predictions, we would still have to choose what to do.

For example, if we had a perfect economics, we could predict exactly how many people would be made unemployed compared to how many made how much richer by raising the minimum wage (or trade barriers, or taxes). How should we weight these?

I think it's easy to greatly overstate how useful science is to policy-making. There are narrow areas where they should (and do) call a specialist in. But the big debates are not over factual, empirical, matters.
This gets at my concern though - it is not that we don’t know how to build skyscrapers safely. It is that there is now positive evidence that those construction and engineering techniques are not being applied properly, at least in some cases.

For me, the question is not about whether high quality projects are going to be okay. The question is: on what basis do I believe there has been sufficient oversight to guarantee the soundness of new construction?

I can remember talking to SPUR members in 2001 about how problematic it was to extend downtown development into SOMA, etc, due to liquefaction and uncertainty. When the building craze hit, it felt like it brushed these concerns aside, rather than answer them. Now we have leaning buildings that don’t meet basic construction requirements. It doesn’t inspire a lot of faith.
It is trivial both to ban tabs and to bulk convert tabs to spaces in a codebase or presubmit hook. The other direction seems impossible.

That means that if you want to avoid a mixed codebase it is far easier to get to and stay at spaces only than tabs-for-indent, spaces-for-alignment.
Talking to ATC is far down on your priority list in emergencies. First priorities are to fly the airplane, figure out what's wrong, decide on a course of action and head in the right direction.

Only after all those things are done, should you take time to talk to the controllers. In these situations, you do what's necessary and then, when convenient, you advise the controllers of the actions you are taking.
Exploiting Temporal Redundancy for Live Computer Vision
not really suck, pushed out by the pressure from within the cabin
As generously as I can put it: It's a form of denial that people use when overwhelmed with everything else. There's typically too little real data on what the money's going to look like until a bunch of things are tried out, each essentially a random variable. So instead of freaking out about that, just bandage over it with some lies to yourself until you can actually start addressing it.

Businesses in well-known markets can start estimating their costs + potential revenue early, and optimize early. But for a business that might "pivot" a few times before finding "fit", how do you do it? You just look at time (runway: burn rate * remaining capital) you have to try stuff.

It's not great, but I can understand why some people do it.
"Some guys end up putting their everything (money, reputation, efforts and huge time) and still don't get anything meaningful out of it."

Relationships are not a one-way street or a vending machine. You can't expect to just pump in a bunch of time and money and for the product to automatically come popping out.

There has to be some chemistry between the two of you... the other person has to actually like you. That takes more than effort, money or time. It takes developing a genuine connection, which in turn usually requires an emotional investment, an opening up to the other person, having shared values, a shared view of the world, perhaps even a sense of humor that the other person finds funny, and so on.

Unless, of course, you're just looking to get laid.. in which case a sex worker might be a better use of your money.

Imagine a series of SIGPIPEs filling the pipe, followed by a SIGTERM or SIGHUP that gets dropped on the floor. At best that's a broken application, at worst it could be a security vulnerability.

Every modern Unix (BSDs, Linux, macOS, Solaris) provides a pollable signal notification mechanism. But you can also always carefully make use of signal masks and 1) use either pselect as the root[1] of your event loop or 2) use a special thread to catch and coalesce signals.

[1] BSD kevent(), Linux epoll(), and Solaris port_wait() all support waiting on a kqueue, epoll, or port descriptor, respectively. That is, you can have a tree of event descriptors. Though with those you also always have a better [passive] signal notification system.
A professional network for developers. LinkedIn minus the bad parts.

Our goal for developers is to help them better manage their careers. Developers will be able to use this tool to build their professional brand, network more effectively, and when they're open to it, get compensated for engaging in phone screens about highly targeted job opportunities.

Our goal for tech companies is to completely replace recruiting agencies (who charge up to 25% of the salary of a landed hire) by providing hiring managers with the tools to connect directly with the right developers.

Here's an early prototype of our profile product: https://www.fizbuz.com/u/jesswest

I'll point out the obvious, just to get the discussion going: it's reasonable to suspect that the motivation is not consumer protection but subversion of technology which presents a challenge to the FIRE economy, which has a tragic stranglehold on NY (my home state).

And after that from the captain, "they said there's a hole and somebody went out."

I started suffering from exercise induced asthma last year. It sucks, but I've found that with good nutrition, using the correct medications and trying to stay in a clean air environment (air cleanser, HEPA mask, etc), it's very manageable. There is a lot of good recent research out there on how to manage it, but I've noticed that most asthma sufferers and doctors are not even aware of it.

Something with a large ecosystem and community that has ready-made solutions for tuning, deployment, and integration with other products and workflows. Java and JavaScript are front-runners. Python is good too.

If you have to build rather than buy all the infrastructure that's not your core product, you lose. That's a huge yak to shave, and startups can't -- and mature businesses won't -- absorb the upfront costs of doing all that work.
Exactly this. If I go to the Domino's website, it tells me that I'm out of the delivery zone of the two closest stores. I think "corporate" is setting the delivery range/route algorithms.

Funny, earlier today I just happened to see this Tokyo earthquake footage of skyscrapers swaying violently:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACKMPD6MySs

Then, in the article, I read about San Fransisco:

"the issue of seismic safety of high rises was “never a factor” in the redevelopment plans"

I can not imagine any positive outcome here.
"Analytic philosophy" is based on the question, "Can person B really understand a statement by person A?", answered with "No", and logically refined, distilled, and fractionated into a set of rather meaningless notes on the nature of language suitable for the modern academic enterprise.

"Continental philosophy" is a continuation of the other 99.9% of philosophy as it existed before 1880.
I think part of it is the personal nature of the discussion. It is full of intelligent, successful people who tend to think for themselves and do lots of interesting things outside of the internet. It can be intimidating and can make one worry they might be judged for commenting. Especially because some of the big names around there can be a bit touchy if you say something they don't like.

I think another reason is because Hubski sucks and is full of spammers when you're not logged in. You need to log in to get the full benefit and curation.

The funny thing is, due to the fact that they are now a worldwide household name... it'd probably bring in some serious cash...

How do you determine when an entity—person or company—needs to file? If the filing date is based on employer, what happens if I work for multiple employers or change jobs? If the filing is date is based on the filing entity, every employer now needs to keep track of my filing date. I got married. Do I need a new filing date, or does my household now need two returns instead of one?

Sure, computers could solve this problem, but the human cost—changing accounting systems, communicating new dates, etc.—is not negligible. A simpler (and probably cheaper) solution might be to update the IRS systems to scale better for the week before and after tax day.

Sure. Title changed from "Cambridge Analytica planned an ICO".
Historically, women basically aimed to marry well. Men had careers. Women had husband's to provide for them.

A lot of those relationships weren't terribly emotionally intimate. I married my best friend. But a lot of marriages were never like that.

Now, women want careers. Juggling two careers is hard. Fewer women want children.

If you are both going to work and support yourself, then the primary thing you want from a "relationship" is sex.

I mean, I'm 52. I'm not the hookup type. I had a long marriage. I'm not easy to get next to.

But this idea that both people will have serious careers and also a deep, intimate relationship and also also kids...

There's only 24 hours in the day. That's not a very realistic expectation for most people.

In that context, hookup culture makes sense. All our fairy tale ending stories are posited on an old fashioned marriage where she's a full time wife and he provides for her. If that isn't your mental model, if you expect some other basis for your life, well, that has knock off effects that it's gauche to talk about because people don't like looking at marriage as a kind of financial contract. But that's what it is.

Segregation is technically illegal, but if you look at a census map for 8 Mile Rd in Michigan, it’s all white people to the north and black people to the south. In other words, please don’t assume that injustices can’t somehow still occur within systems that, by the letter of the law, have done away with injustice. I don’t know how to epxlain to you that immigrants assembling consumerist garbage in the US probably aren’t doing it because they weighed other options and thought it was the best one... And if you think they can “just leave”, ask yourself why so many of them haven’t.
While lobbying may have a role to play, it's likely that NY also has more prosecutorial expertise on financial shenanigans than any other place in the US (Due to past and current misdeeds of said big players in finance).
