> I strongly doubt it has anything to do with Trump or the US.

Why so strong a doubt though? South Korea's officials say "Clearly, credit goes to President Trump". One would think SK foreign minister would have some insight into the process...

> And Trump has not done anything significant - he's just full of bluster and hot air which anyone outside of the US (and most of the US too) know.

It is interesting that just a few months ago everyone was sure he was going to start a war in the Korean peninsula and it wasn't just hot air.

As soon as they started talking about peace, it is back to being hot air again and have nothing to do with it?

We could at least say perhaps it had a bad influence and we would have seen peace sooner, but it's really hard to say "he had no influence" at this point.
I use both. Jetbrains is better, but it costs money. Its worth it to save the time figuring out eclipse.
I use eclipse because I'm maintaining some tomcat code, and the code live in an eclipse project world. Eclipse works and once set up it does it job well. The truth is its just too complex. I still can't get it to work with Git. Eclipse is free (since I use it professionally I donated.)

one example in Jetbrains I can rightclick a file or folder in the navigator and search there or inside there. Eclipse(oxygen) there is a search menu with 12 items. Most of those pull up a dialog box with 7 tabs, most of which have some sort of search option which I hope have sane defaults. Sure its more powerful, but its way more than I need 99% of the time.
I think China had a private conversation with him and told him, in direct terms, he needed to start playing well with others. The risk to China was just too great, given their proximity.
Being used to Visual Studio, every time I needed to use Eclipse I kept wondering how Java developers could tolerate such an environment. Now I know ofc some of it is due to less familiarity and exposure, but it realy felt like stepping back 15 years in time each time I launched it.
> How DNA functions is far more complicated than how current accepted science pictures it.

So, specifically: i-motif structures were understood experimentally. They had never been detected in vivo before, and doing so constitutes great science and a solid find, but no: this isn't something out of left field that our naive hubristic minds couldn't conceive. These scientists found i-motif in vivo because they were actively looking for it.

Beyond that, what you say is true of course, but only in a specious sense that applies to every field of science. The whole point to doing these experiments is that we don't understand things completely and want to. I mean, would you argue against air flight in 1903 based on the fact that a computational framework for dealing with the Navier-Stokes equations was still decades in the future?
Language has always changed with time. The singular they is very well accepted today and has been for decades in most English speaking cultures. I find it interesting that some people seem to find it necessary to defend the older forms - not sure what purpose that serves.
Anyone and anything but Trump caused this. That's what I'm seeing today, and I don't think that's remotely correct.

Only one major change has taken place, and it's not a change of presidency in SK.

Whether we like him or not, President Trump did this, and we should rejoice. SK's President says Trump made this possible -- shall we ignore that?
Exactly this. Vim key shortcuts are truly awesome, but most of the times, mouse selection is just so superior, specially now with multicursors, column selections, and live feedback.
> What changed that North Korea would be serious this time?

Four things in my opinion.

1) China summoned North Korea to meet after their nuclear test site collapsed. That much is known factually. China had drawn a public redline, about the risk of their nuclear program harming Chinese people, from fallout reaching across the border. The collapsed mountain is speculated to be at high risk for leaking fallout and that it may have left a chimney. China publicly warned North Korea on this prior to the mountain collapse. It's very likely that when China summoned North Korea afterward, they were given an intimidating ultimatum.

2) There's nowhere left for North Korea to go. Kim got his nukes, a lot of them apparently. Now what? Nukes don't do anything for developing your country. They won't convince the world to get rid of the sanctions, they won't force the US to give you a lot of trade or money.

3) North Korea must see that the US is able to massively trade with other formerly hostile Communist nations in Asia, such as Vietnam and China. The US fought a horrific war with Vietnam, not dissimilar to that of North Korea. Now the US and Vietnam are large trading partners, and the US just floated an aircraft carrier next to its shores on a military buddy-buddy mission. It's impossible that Kim could see that all occurring and not understand there can be a different future.

4) North Korea can't compete in any regard militarily outside of nuclear weapons. They're 40-60 years behind the US and South Korea. That's because they're so extraordinarily poor. They do not have the resources to wage a competitive traditional war with advanced nations. You know what's great for fixing that? A dramatically bigger economy. They have a ~$25 billion economy today. You know what would be a better security context if you're them? Having a $250 billion economy, lots of money to modernize the military, lots of money for military R&D, lots of money for cultivating education domestically, and still having the same nuclear know-how to re-arm with nukes if necessary. It's the ideal outcome if you're Kim Jong Un - you plausibly remain the dictator for life as in China with Mao or Xi, and you dramatically bolster your economy.

There are some methods that I don’t see used outside of the machine learning community, but there appears to be a fair degree of overlap in actual methods used between classical stats and machine learning.

Now, the biggest difference that I can see is that, within machine learning contexts, people are more concerned with the quality of the predictions than the interpretation of the independent variables. That’s not hard and fast, but it seems to be a common thread.

And for some problems, making a good prediction is really the right thing. In other cases, understanding the mechanisms you might use to effect an outcome is more important. Both are valid uses of statistical methods, depending on the problem.

I think within the realm of classical statistics, Bayesian methods’ super power is in being able to generate results that are much easier to communicate to lay people. Also Bayesian methods are nice if you want to do sensitivity analysis in a principled up front kind of way.

But I could imagine using those methods in an ML context even if they aren’t the current darlings of the methodological pantheon.
Socrates was executed in 399 BCE, before Aristotle was born (384 BCE). Plato's Academy [1] would probably count though, as might Athens as a whole.

No, not really.

For 2 reasons.

[1] I only did broadcast/scattershot approach for the first year. After I got kicked off benefits the 2nd time (for attending a meeting of my startup -- an unpaid position -- in another part of the country) I stopped trying for anything I could do at all, anywhere, and started targeting my applications far more specifically, at things I was a really good fit for, with customised CVs etc.

No difference. Maybe a slightly higher rate of rejection letters.

[2] As others have said, timing.

I was freelance for most of the period 1996-2001 and 2003-2007. I decided to return to F/T work in '07 and applied for about 500 positions in 4 months before I got my first interview. I was hired over the phone, first interview.

It's getting to the interview that's hard. I interview well. I'm smart, lucid, eloquent, approachable.

These days, that means keyword matching, to get past 1st and maybe 2nd level selection.

2009/2010 were very bad. 2011, I got a role, but only very very briefly. 2012, I was even flown to Scotland for a 2nd interview, then got a second, non-IT role. 2013, I retrained in TEFL and went looking for teaching roles. End 2013, I applied for, and in early 2014, I got, a role in Brno, Czechia.

The Chinese may have pressured North Korea to halt testing because of the potential leaks. North Korea can tunnel under another mountain but the risks will be the same. North Korea is dependent on China for trade. Cut that off and North Korea eventually collapses.

Regardless of motivations, if this is a sincere move towards peace then it is a good thing for the world.

> You can't gauge the specific danger or benefit of the unknown.

I’m not claiming to. All I’m saying is that “CRISPR [isn’t] dangerous specifically because we underestimate the complexity of DNA”.

In the context of this discussion I can go much further, though: the physiological presence of i-motifs doesn’t change the hazard or risk of CRISPR whatsoever. We know this because our risk assessment of CRISPR never relied on the non-existence of i-motifs.
And it's also true that women make up a minority of CS students in universities. Discrimination and lack of interest can coexist and both be true reasons why people don't go into/stay in fields.
There is significant lag between false convictions and proof of innocence. So, it might seem like a huge improvement but it's far smaller difference than you might think.
I think that's part of it, but I doubt it's the whole story.

Well what we were doing for pe encryptors (will try to dig out some code from tapes when I get back into civilization :D) was generating a code that was driving execution flow using SEH (structured exception handling), sometimes the code executed as intended, sometimes the exception was trigered (with faulty code, again generated) to continue at completely different part of code. This was the complete pain in the "neck" to debug (timing the code execution is a great way to tell if someone is debugging it, and you just continue into some other generated code that is missleading the reverser), and completely impossible to solve on paper (well, with huge amount of knowlidge and a lot of time, you could do it :D). That's why I am laughing with todays overuse of try/catch/throws, we were using it to obfuscate execution flow and today it is used in normal coding with same devastating effect :D

Apple has already announced that they'll start using their own chips by 2020 - Intel's problems may be part of the reason why: https://9to5mac.com/2018/04/02/report-apple-to-begin-switch-...
Intellij has all or many of it's features as plugins, I think Eclipse had a similar architecture, the reason I switched to Intellij was the extra features and the good support for other languages
But they’ve had warheads and “scuds” (with conv explosives) for decades. Their man bargaining chips were SK and JP populations.

My take is Am pressure on China turned China against supporting NK antics, in combination with the new Am admin to willingness to engage (diplomatically and otherwise) resulted in NK feeling alone and unprotected and thus willing to cut a deal for peace. Time will tell.
Well, if they were planning on trading up, now the home they were going to sell to purchase a new home is worth less too, so it comes out in the wash. In either case, it makes their net worth look worse on paper.
I actually question whether the real story is the fall of Eclipse or the rise of Intellij.

My impression (as someone who used both) is that Intellij IDEA was significantly better than Eclipse (to the extent that I went out of my way to be the sole developer who used it on a team of Eclipse users) but that it was not widely used. Then they decided to release the community edition which enabled people to try it without making a financial commitment. (The "free trials" they had before weren't achieving this -- people knew that any time spent climbing the learning curve would be wasted if they didn't shell out money.) Once people had a chance to see it, they chose Intellij in large numbers because it was a superior product.

For ME, the lesson to take away here is not that Eclipse should have had a more polished project and a more organized organization, but that Intellij was enormously successful because they released an open-source version of their product, and to wonder whether a similar opportunity applies to my own products.
> seems like the lack of a warrant was a technicality here

Seriously? That's all it takes for you to accept the police doesn't need a warrant? That the warrant is "just a technicality"?

If that were true, we wouldn't need judges to approve warrants. Police has and will abuse their powers without the judge being a filter for their actions. That should never change.

SK and NK could do it differently. Germany didn't have to subsidize the East so much.

Also, German unification was a huge burden on all of Europe, not just Western Germany.

Nope, I'm the rational one here. Rationality would show that you should focus on fixing several of the endless things wrong with this world rather than isolate "baby murder" in a vacuum in a comically distopian with a hypocritical fashion.

I started using IntelliJ in 2008 (so it was at version 8 I guess) and I liked it so much more back then. So many awesome features presented in ways that make sense.

With Eclipse, I was stuck by the following weird design decision: All your personal preferences such as keybindings were not saved globally but as part of your current project. What were they thinking? Who would want different keybindings for different projects, think of the muscle memory! Maybe there is a use case for having some specific keybinding for a particular project, so they could have made a way to override your global settings in such case... but not make the very first thing you do, customize it to your liking, a very weird thing different from how every other program works.

That's kind of my point - Owning it is not a crime. If police finds a copy in your house, you're not automatically going to jail just because you have it. At the same time, its publication and sale is either prohibited because of copyright issues or under laws which prevent sale of Nazi paraphernalia.

Good for you. Seriously.

It does seem to be better for programmers.

I was primarily a support guy, but also systems admin, network architect/rollouts/installation, training, even project management and security consultancy at a push.

We're regarded as far more fungible than coders. Coders make more money and if you are good in a niche, something popular, or something wildly obscure where it's hard to find people, then it's easier to find work.

2 of my former partners are programmers. One a general database programmer; she found it hard to retrain into suitably trendy databases, but once she did, she was off and running. Another in a very obscure language, but once she found a role, after a few years, she was making 50% more than my best-ever pay in London.

Either you write in something desirable (even if niche), or you're good enough to switch languages easily and readily (and regularly) retrain in something desirable. If you do that and are good, there's work out there.

If you're a humble grunt who fixes stuff, it's much much harder.
People should be at least notified about WHO saw their DNA results, and everyone should be approved on the site. So the police can't just use a pseudonym to search for this stuff.
Duff's device, as emitted by GCC[0], is a bit on the verbose side but still quite neat. In particular the single-instruction computed goto that uses a look-up table made up of 8 quad-words, filled in by the linker.

Note the '.section .rodata' directive which actually places the quads pointers, seemingly interleaved with code, in a read-only data section.

Note also the dec/test/jle instructions implementing the while loop occur before the last of the eight copy operations, and interleaved with the next-to-last copy operation.

I agree with this. There are different goals for different people on SO, and while I think the blog is generally good and the idea for guiding questions is good, there's other low-hanging fruit here.

We tend to forget that even really basic things like googling for an answer are learned skills. Some people are so green, they don't even know what they are looking for. They have some collection of objects that they want in a certain order, but they don't know enough to know the name of the thing they are looking for is a sorting algorithm. Or you have a situation where someone needs a linked list, but they have no idea what to call it, so searching fails. I've seen genuinely bright people who are new to programming fail in this way and get really frustrated when people tell them to "just fucking google it" when they already did, but honestly didn't know what to call what they were looking for.

On the other side, you have some people who are not so interested in a single canonical answer to a well-formed question. There are people who really get a lot of enjoyment out of guiding people and teaching them.

I would say the quickest way to satisfy a lot of the dynamic here is to have a place to migrate really poor questions instead of just closing them down. Something like how-to.stackoverflow.com or whatever.

Yes, some people just don't want to learn and are looking for someone else to do their homework. It's true. But I think those are best evaluated by the kinds of people who want to hang out there and try to offer guidance rather than the population as a whole who is going for more of a nerdapedia site.

In other words, give the people who want to teach a place to teach, and give the general site a way to move those questions to that context. Let the teaching-focused users evaluate the genuinely bad actors.
