Response to EDIT: I tolerate milk products well, including cheese. I have used whey powder for supplementation (not in recent years). We're talking big quantities consumed at once. I noticed it's used in some baked goods and I tried it that way; it adds a certain milky "body" to the flavor.
> I believe Eclipse has it's own Java compiler, so it was probably a compiler feature.

It does, and it's much better than javac for IDE use cases. That's one of my biggest pain points with IntelliJ. They've tried to implement some kind of incremental compilation on top of javac, but it doesn't work reliably and often forced 5-minute from-scratch recompiles on the last project I worked on.

Makes me wonder if the small subset of people who would regularly watch the same movie multiple times in a theater are: (1) movie buffs, highly likely to see a movie even if it can't be the same, and
(2) high concession spenders?

If it's not sold out, seems a bit like licensing already built software: (if it's going unused and doesn't cost to on-board new users or otherwise affect higher paying customers, might as well get butts in the seats)

> The fact that Tesla can simultaneously demonstrate brilliance and incompetence in the same vehicle is not surprising, considering it is a high-tech software company trying to master complex manufacturing processes that took established automakers more than 100 years to perfect.

>> This is wrong. At the very least it would be since the 60's and probably later.

If you watch the video on Youtube (that someone else posted here) where Munro is talking about the Model 3, (jump to 36m20s, he gets into it about 15-20s later [1]), you'll realize that the "complex manufacturing processes that took established automakers more than 100 years to perfect" are not about advances in tooling/tech, but advances in quality control processes. If you don't want to watch the video, the acronyms Munro drops are AIAG, PPS, PPAP and APQP.

Things get even more interesting when someone on the panel asks him what would have happened if Tesla would have subbed out the design and manufacturing to a company like Magna.

> Real "local control" would let people commuting to Cupertino from Stockton decide zoning in Cuptertino.

That's a sham argument. That would be letting corporations who demand workers be on site decide zoning by way of commuters from other areas. Every local zoning/district must then bend to the will of temporary workers (temporary in the sense that their employment is less permanent than land ownership).

Local voters, through property ownership or residency is the only acceptable form of governance. Workers should be angered at employers who demand them to be on site, not zoning regulations.
Folks may make fun of me, but I'm still pleased as can be with my 2016 MacBook Air. Maxed out on CPU, memory, and disk, it's plenty powerful for front-end development, and since I'm almost always connected to an external monitor, the lack of a Retina display is of little consequence.

I just got back from RedisConf and antirez brought up the idea (or that it's already in-development... he was not clear) of releasing an official redis cluster proxy for use with older/less-featured clients.

How I resolved some tough docker problems on Amazon ECS
No one in the auto industry considers Munro a reputable source. This keeps circulating entirely for clickbait purposes.
If you spend that much on Amazon you should look into their 5% back credit card. There is an inherent "annual fee" in that it requires a prime membership, but you spent enough that it would more than pay for itself.
On amazon you'll find a plethora of LED bulbs with their color temperature in kelvin, CRI (or R-alpha), lumens and directivity listed. I have picked a wide range of different ones for different needs. A few years ago there was limited choice but the palette has broadened since then.

The item titles, often listing incandescent equivalent wattages and fuzzy categories like warmness, are kind of irrelevant. You need to look at the fact sheets.
Just to expand on one of the parent's points, Celiac is pretty rare, and affects under 1% of the population. However, Fructose Malabsorption is much less rare, and affects closer to 5% in the US. In spite of the name, Fructose Malabsorption has little to do with dietary fructose, and instead has to do with a class of molecules called fructooligosaccharides (FOS).

Overconsumption of FOS causes bloating, nausea, "brain fog," lower GI upset, and a whole raft of other symptoms that sound an awful lot like what many self-diagnosed NCGS folks report. For folks with Fructose Malabsorption, the threshold consumption of FOS that causes symptoms is less than 10% the level that causes symptoms in the general population.

The confounding thing is that wheat is rich is FOS. So folks who believe they have NCGS stop eating wheat and sometimes feel better. They probably have Fructose Malabsorption, or are suffering from insulin spiking effects from refined carbs, or some other effect. But they heard gluten was bad for you, and when they ate the package of bread that said "gluten free," and stopped eating the normal wheat bread, they started feeling better.

"Middlebrow dismissals" of their condition don't really help them either. True, gluten is almost certainly not their problem. But gluten free food, as a side effect of lacking wheat, often helps them feel better! What are the chances that something similar is happening with MSG? Perhaps added MSG is often found along side other ingredients/contaminants that cause headaches and other reported "MSG symptoms"?

Yes. From the linked article:

> Mr. Collins’ profile has grown along with the Cambridge Analytica scandal. His committee questioned the company’s chief executive, Alexander Nix, weeks before news broke about its practices. The panel has published audio records in which an executive tied to Cambridge Analytica discusses how the Trump campaign used techniques used by the Nazis to target voters. A webcast of the committee’s hearing with the former Cambridge Analytica researcher Christopher Wylie was so popular it nearly took down Parliament’s website, Mr. Collins said.

I quoted the original number from a newspaper article which didn't go into details. But I was curious myself, so I contacted the author of the article and did some of my own research.

The German federal statistics office publishes a report every year which lists how many people have lost their right to vote or to hold public office according to §45 (2) and (5) StGB (German criminal law) [1]. Unfortunately, the reports do not distinguish between these two cases. In any case, the numbers are vanishingly small in recent years. I looked at the last 12 years for which there is a report (2005 - 2016) and it's only 15 cases, so a little more than 1 per year. Again, it doesn't distinguish between losing the right to vote and losing the right to hold office.

The people who lost their rights according to this law were mostly convicted for crimes against the state, the public order, or misconduct in office. To make it more precise, the report lists crimes such as joining a terrorist organisation, obstruction of punishment, forcing a subordinate to commit a crime, criminal assault while in office, corruption, etc. The original newspaper article summarized them as crimes against the state which I translated as treason.

However, it seems that the law was applied more often in the past. I found a secondary source [2] which lists 178 cases between 1978 and 2008. The primary source [3] is a dissertation which costs 80 €.

It was rather more complicated than that. I could go into details but that's not really the point.

It's not the typing that is slow - it's the constant "why can't I do it like this?" stackoverflow trips. For example - how do you open a file in read-write mode? Using File::open()? Nope!

Ok that one is just poor API design - most of the time was really in restructuring to make the borrow checker happy, and fiddling with adding and removing '&' and 'ref' to get the right types.
This thread is surrealistic to me in light of the NPR retraction. They didn't retract the article because it was some fringe opinion they didn't stand by, they retracted it because it was factually wrong. It would be as if they published an article saying "water is a yellow gas" then later removed it saying "actually that was a load of crap, nevermind".

So instead you'd prefer if they had kept the original article but added after each sentence "except it probably didn't happen that way"?

>I am frankly frightened by this relatively recent promotion of the idea that preventing the public utterance of bad ideas and distasteful speech is good for society.

There's nothing recent about that, it's as old as humanity itself. Every culture has its taboos and its sacred cows. I don't think there's any society where you could say absolutely anything you want and stay out of trouble. The USA is extremely permissive but there's still slander, libel and hate speech at the very least. In most countries in the EU it's forbidden to be a nazi, that's an opinion you're simply not allowed to have.
One other big reason: racial diversity. In much of the United States, the community is basically white race / white American culture by default, and people like me naturally end up being somewhat anomalous / outsiders.

In some places there is also racism to various extents, but even in the absence of racism, there is just a significant handicap to not being a member of the default group.

In contrast, I fit right at home in a cosmopolitan place like Silicon Valley where there isn't really a default culture. Of course, it's basically a global phenomenon that cosmpolitan cities tend to be far more expensive than the cities that more closely reflect the local culture.
I feel like you get a flavor of this for software by reading the mailing lists in the more mature open source project, you can basically get a continuous flow of analysis and build or rebuild. It's not packaged in a nice episodic report form, but you can get a little of that too with some projects.

For the software industry as a whole, the closest thing might be the SEI[1], but that body of work takes some effort to work through, perhaps suffering a bit from a more adademic roots vs a more industry engineering info exchange approach like M&A. For that you might have specialist areas, for example, the Jepsen tests and blog[2].

"Women are typecast as front-end developers, while men work on the back end – where they generally earn significantly more money than their front-end counterparts."

I'm guessing they don't understand the difference between front-end coding and front-end designing.

There ARE more women in UI and UX design. But I haven't seen a significant difference in the sex ratios of Angular/React vs. Python developers. It's mostly men across both.
>As a software engineer, I wish there were an equivalent firm in the industry that did teardowns like this so that we could, as an industry, improve over time the way that the automotive industry does.

Besides what others have said, the surface of the Earth is already quite high (distant from the center). Getting above the atmosphere only adds ~1% to your height (if you're 40 miles up). OTOH the Earth spins at only a small fraction of the speed you'd need: in low Earth orbit you're going around in a little over an hour, versus 24 for the spin.

Finding a suitable replacement was difficult. For some reason instead of taking advantage of Apple's missteps with the MBP, competitors decided to copy with all USB-C.

I ended up with getting a LG Gram. 2 normal USB 3.0, 1 USB-C, HDMI, SD card, 8th gen CPU. Affordable, very light. Great battery life (marketing materials say 22.5 hrs). I run dual-boot Kubuntu and Win10 on it. Really like it.
Maybe people are saying that feelings don't matter, but a more interesting argument is that they're a sensation and it's misguided to assign them intrinsic moral import. In particular, it's unworkable to claim that if someone's feelings are hurt that another person has to modify their behavior, simply because feelings are entirely capricious.

The analogy I've often used is the feeling of being cold: that you feel cold is simply a perception generated by nerve endings. It really is just in your head, but at the same time it's in your head for a reason. (In the case of cold, not dying of exposure is a fairly dramatic reason, and you might lose your job if you ignored social feelings.) So just as you would neither ignore nor get worked up over feeling cold and would just put on a jacket, often social feelings of offense and the like have some fairly practical solutions that are more obvious if you avoid moralizing them.

So if kids were writing about feelings to recognize and solve problems, that would be helpful, but if it's just navel gazing, it's probably a waste of time.
> The whole mood was contagious. My first night, I openly gagged when my friend Paul put his hands into my dirty shower water to scoop it out for the toilet.

I have never been so thrilled to see a previously deposited piece of shit in a toilet I myself hoped to take a crap in.

Sadly this is my third or fourth Rust foray. Only one was really successful - writing a tool to basically do 'git describe' using libgit2. That was a decent experience. I also tried to write a wrapper around libsoundio - got quite far but eventually gave up because of limitations in the Rust lifetime system, and because of how hard it is to do callbacks.
