It probably has something to do with the part about Qatar being a very tiny place (a native population of 300,000!) with very wealthy people and never having qualified for the World Cup before. That seems ripe for a bribe, especially because everyone knows FIFA is and was corrupt.
I always thought their early products looked rough and clunky, which has held me off their products. Their new Oryx Pro seems like a step in the right direction, though.

I have to imagine something was lost in translation there? My brain just cannot fathom how "overtime" by the very nature of the word can be anything but an optional extra.

You'd just as likely selfishly choose overtime as you would not choose it.
Oh I reread the thread and saw you were only addressing whether there is an immediate incentive. Yes, you're right, there certainly would be one, and it probably could be organic/paleo level successful. Probably doing it privately successfully would help rally support for an eventual law.

>However, with multi-billion endowment at top schools, couldn't they pay competitively at least for part-time lecturers with PhD and some teaching experience, who might be working in the industry, to fill in requisite teaching needs?

No. That could result in CS people (esp. non-tenured ones) making more money than beginning business professors, and that simply cannot be tolerated. Instead, they need to just keep salaries for CS people low, and then whine to the press about how they can't fill all their CS positions.

A lot of corporations do the same thing.

There is a bit more to it. One quickly learns the basics of triangular truss construction with Gilbert (otherwise your structure folds up), while one pretty much only learns to interlock the bricks with Lego. Bricks neither look nor behave much like machine parts.

When your only material is a brick, every construction looks like another brick wall. A locomotive that looks like a stack of bricks doesn't aesthetically appeal to me. (The primary colors of the bricks don't help.) So yah, shallow I am :-)

I've been a big Xubuntu fan for quite a while myself. I recently put 18.04 on a VM to give it a test drive, and found that they've tweaked XFCE so that you have to be ridiculously precise at moving the mouse to a lower corner if you want to resize a window. The margin for getting a lower-corner drag cursor seems to be one pixel at best.

Argh. I've seen this problem over and over on a variety of Ubuntu versions over the years, as if they don't want me resizing windows.

Is there any way to tweak this? I'm not at all liking it. My 16.04 installations are much better in this regard.

That's not at all what SBCL is doing. Each type declaration is treated as an assertion, and only then it performs optimization. And there is no undefined behavior at all.

And even without type declarations SBCL is actively deriving types and optimizing things that are proved to have a restricted type.

Spreading misinformation like this is what's poisoning the ecosystem.

I guess it depends on your definition of 'partnering'. Right now I'm sitting in a Fractal / Librem5 workshop in Strasbourg with a bunch of GNOME and Purism folk, trying to advise on how GNOME can use Matrix well. We were also expecting to be funded to work on the Librem5 on a better than best effort basis, but it seems there wasn't enough $.
The best solution for speeding up code reviews is to not do them at all.

Have tests, have a ci system and pipelines, empower the team to deploy and rollback (especially non-technical folks). Any green build should be deployable by your PM or whoever. If your system does not support frequent change and encourage shared ownership of the code then fix your system.

If you really want to get “drastic” encourage or mandate your programmers to pair and encourage frequent pair rotation.

We run into this over and over again with clients who cling to the PR process and inevitable we burry them in PR and progress grinds to a halt compared to other projects that get on board with above.
Back in the old days, insmod and modprobe were synchronous. If you wanted concurrency during boot, you could use fork/join to get it (using the & line suffix and “join” command in bash, for instance).

In the brave new world, all kernel events are published over some wonky bus thing, so you need to write a daemon that listens for hardware events and replicates the kernel’s current state of the world in dram, and also is fault tolerant, and has a security subsystem that authenticates user requests before forwarding them to the kernel.

The new approach is fundamentally broken because it is too complicated to understand or implement correctly.

Also, it is gratuitously reimplmenting basic kernel functionality (security, process lifecycle) in user space, and in at least one case that has hit me personally (DriSetMaster) the systemd contingent has been blocking straightforward patches to the Linux kernel that make it possible for non systemd init systems to work without adding their own crappy shim processes.

I run Linux because I want a working unix environment. Systemd is turning it into something else.

I think it is telling that we’re seeing things like fuschia and renewed interest in the BSD’s specifically because Linux on the desktop / laptop is increasingly an unsupportable mess.
Did you try with optimisations enabled? Here is a (trivial) program comparing gcc output between -std=c++14 and -std=c++17: https://godbolt.org/g/VLDhYf.
Note that the output code size with -std=c++17 is significantly larger without optimisations (default), but it is identical with optimisations turned on!

Then why call it "overtime."

Mandatory overtime as a concept is contradictory, that's just the new work-hours.
No, my position is that supporters are naive and uninformed, not dumb.
I had a similar experience. Went out, had a single drink over about a three hour period, drove home, got pulled over for speeding. I think given the time of evening they just assumed I had been drinking. They gave me a BAC and officer also seemed disappointed it was clear. If I had had more than two or three drinks over the same period of time (which would have made me still well under legal limit), I may have requested a blood test out of an abundance of caution and to not rely on a possibly-inaccurate BAC to determine the (I’m told) very expensive consequences of getting a DUI.
Last time they stood up to speak, 10,000 students were murdered in public to make an example. They might think twice now.
I can agree with you on that definition and have yet to see evidence that they do what you say.

I think we need to distinguish what data collection means...just because you have a Facebook cookie in your browser which causes the browser to fire a request everytime there is a call to facebooks domains and therefore send meta information about OS, Browser, IP, etc (which is hard to turn off without reinventing the web) doesn’t mean FB (just like any other website that uses cookies) does anything with that meta data or stores it at all.

I think we need to be careful about judging what they technically do and what they actually do!

Many people in this debate default to assuming the worst...which is never a useful position to take. I would suggest assuming the good intent on FBs behalf and then reverse engineer from there
Probably reversible transactions where possible, but with original-state metadata attached to the transaction if it's required to reverse it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_pattern).
> you really should just say don't do that

You should also say WHY not to do that.

This lets whoever asked decide whether the reasoning applies to their own unique situation. Perhaps they are doing a one-off scrape of a single file with consistent structure like in the other comment.

The asker can also apply the same reasoning to similar situations. They won't come back to ask if they should use regex to parse JSON tomorrow.

And if you can't explain why something is "best practice", maybe it shouldn't be "best practice".
Ha. My side was saying NMFS hadn’t met a salmon run they couldn’t manage into extinction. I mostly gave up in 2000. Since then, from the popular press, it seems the stakeholders had reduced the friction. Gods, that’d be nice. I’d love to take my (future) grandkids salmon fishing, like my grandpa did us.
Similar but from what I understand it allows granularity down to seconds instead of minutes and new cluster provisioning in minutes rather than potentially hours.

I think parent's point is that by searching for a double-crux you might obfuscate high-level generators of disagreement, so the conversation might progress but won't actually change anyone's mind even if there is a purely factual answer to the double-crus.

I think parent's point is made later in the paragraph after the section on double-cruxing:

> High-level generators of disagreement are what remains when everyone understands exactly what’s being argued, and agrees on what all the evidence says, but have vague and hard-to-define reasons for disagreeing anyway. In retrospect, these are probably why the disagreement arose in the first place, with a lot of the more specific points being downstream of them and kind of made-up justifications. These are almost impossible to resolve even in principle.

I.e., many people who have strong opinions on gun control would never agree to this sort of double-crux. And even if they did agree to it in the context of one conversation, and then "lost" the argument on that basis, they wouldn't actually go on to change their mind. They would return to the "High-level generator" and everyone just wasted their time.

Martin Moene (my favorite C++ person in the entire universe right now) wrote a drop-in replacement for older standard versions: https://github.com/martinmoene/string-view-lite. He's also backported optional, variant, and expected, and wrote my favorite unit testing library called "lest".

This guy saved me so much hassle this year and it's causing a complete sea change in the way that we work. I really really want to live in a world of value-typedness and it's finally possible to do it. The simple and natural idioms are now MORE efficient than doing it the complicated way: the average function I'm writing in 2018 is significantly less convoluted and allocates on the heap far less than the same function I'd be writing five or six years ago.
"If a restaurant is frustrated at an influx of robo-reservations,"

That's not a very compelling argument, though, because as long as those reservations manifest as people arriving and paying bills, they're unlikely to find this a problem. And as long as the calls are essentially the same as a human calling them, it's not that different.

I think a lot of people in this conversation are conflating annoying phone calls with robocalls. The problem with annoying phone calls isn't that they are automated... the problem is that they are annoying. If I got the exact same phone calls, but they were all staffed by humans, I would still be annoyed. The automation just means they can make the calls faster. A restaurant owner is not going to get particularly annoyed if a few reservations come in from a bot rather than a person calling, as long as the system works correctly (i.e., can take "no" for an answer for instance) and they aren't hammered with ten thousand calls in an hour due to some bug. When I get a robocall reminding me about my dentist appointment, I don't go ballistic and yell at my dentist for using bots... after all, I asked for it by clicking an option in my reminder email. (Given that I've forgotten my appointments a few times before I'm not in a moral position to be upset that they have some reminders set up.)

> Feeding cattle grass will reduce the methane just as much as seaweed, I bet.

From the article, it only takes a few percent of seaweed in the cow diet to reduce methane. I'd guess the same doesn't hold for grass. Cows that get to go into a pasture probably get a few percent of grass.
"Thing is, building coral and sea life is super simple [same with killing it]."

That is just simply not true. While it might be helpful to lay down structures for sea life, ocean acidification [1], algal blooms [2], and climate change are all contributing to mass death of sea life, and fast enough where we will see many species go extinct in our lifetime (bluefin tuna will be there soon [3]).

It's hard to fire someone or lower their salary when economic conditions change, so it makes sense for academia to be a bit conservative here. What happens if interest rates rise, VC funding goes down, and there are lots fewer tech jobs in the future? You're stuck with a bunch of high paid professors and low CS enrollment.

There could be a structural change that from here on we'll need a larger number of CS professors, but I can see why the universities are being conservative.

Serious question: why do you think you're underpaid? Why do you feel you should be making more. The market has said that you're currently worth/getting paid X. So... why think you're Y?

Languages are definitely not consistent in what they do if you try to coerce null to various types, nor are they consistent (often even internally) about whether they perform coercions implicitly. The Ruby example seemed to deal mostly with the latter.

I think implicit coercion is bad, but that's a separate issue from null.

"We're not talking about one-liners used on a single file here (as far as I could tell)"

Well, we are, because to quote coldtea, the person you directly replied to, "'Don't have a continuously running service parse arbitrary HTML with regular expressions' would be a bad thing. Parsing specific, given, HTML files, with known structure to the dev, with regular expressions (e.g. as part of a one-off scrapping script) is totally, absolutely, fine." In context the first sentence clearly means that running the service like that would be a bad thing (hooray English and it's deep ambiguities in double negatives).

I still wouldn't necessarily be too upset about telling a junior dev to be suspicious of REs or avoid them (for instance, parsing HTML with REs typically requires using non-greedy matches, and there are some subtleties around that), but if you know what you're doing on a quick job it's fine. If you're a senior dev and you still haven't figured out what's likely to entrench itself and what really is a one-off job, well, that's your real problem. I haven't been surprised about what gets entrenched in quite a while.
