I think we're approaching this from philosophically different directions. On your end if the programmer controls everything correctly then its safe because doubles have a 53 bit significand.

The problem happens when you treat numbers one way and they are treated differently elsewhere. For example -0 when undergoing a bitwise +/- check (val & (1U<<31)) will appear positive when its negative by definition.

The cast to an integer prior to the bitwise operator looses information. You can use the operators safely if you know there is no information to be lost, but it is not type checked like with C. I will say at least JavaScript guarantees twos compliment. You never know when your favourite compiler will decide to break your code in the name of a faster benchmark - correctness of existing programs be damned. Implementation defined used to mean do something sane, but I digress.
I think that "Java bad" isn't all of the story of the move away from static type checking. Type checking in programming probably originated, and certainly featured prominently, in selection of representation of values. I think it's a valid insight of the dynamic camp that for most purposes we don't care how things are represented so long as we know how to work with them. What's often missed is that types can be a powerful tool for talking about other things, too.

I'm ok with govern creating a small set of rules and enforcing them. But as litle as possible. Specially in types of business that aren't vital to population. I can understand certain rules like in insurance companies of some types of banking services.

I'm not ok with intervencions, like the banks bailout of 2008, the the goverment just save banks that should have break. This kindo f intervention isn't fair form most of the market, and should be avoided.

Every “don’t ruin it for others” argument ignores that there’s more than one person affected. The reason the ADA exists is because precisely that argument was used to preclude people with a wide array of disabilities from society.

The ADA requires reasonable accommodation by all companies. This means that you create a level playing field where no one company can undercut others simply by excluding a specific group of people.

In your case you’re basically saying that it’s ok for us to exclude deaf people from the tech industry. That’s not hyperbole. If one boot camp doesn’t have to support the deaf, then you cannot require /any/ to support them. That puts any boot camp that does support the deaf (or other disability) at a financial disadvantage to those that don’t. By the wonders of capitalism you either get “deaf people must pay more for the same thing” or “deaf people can’t participate”. This immediately adds an additional penalty to the deaf.

Also, if you’re charging 15k per course you can afford to transcribe lectures. People are talking about how much interpreters cost, but if you just transcribed the lectures, and made good reference material that would probably get you most of the way to compliance. As an added bonus, making those and your slides available would help people who have to use screen readers.

> I don't believe that it is at all discrimination because I'm using my best judgement for who can work most effectively with my team.

That alone certainly isn't sufficient to make the criterion acceptable under US law. Like, for an obvious stupid example, a team full of men who don't think women belong in the workplace doesn't let you reject all the women. This is true even though the female candidate would genuinely be less effective at the job because of this. (And I don't mean to suggest that you think otherwise--I'm just saying that the criterion you give is not sufficient by itself.)

For real, it gets murkier. A team full of kids who grew up rich, and are (like most of us) most comfortable around their own kind? A team that happily and effectively resolves its technical conflicts by yelling insults at each other, and then getting drunk at a bar? This is where the culture wars get fought, and the lawyers make their money...

It's 2018, you have the power to control when you (or your female SO) get pregnant (you have had this for quite a while, actually). There's no logical reason to "oops, now I'm a stay at home <whatever>".
The visibility problem affects the readers as well. Consider the ~million readers who enjoyed reading the Bachman/King books after the author's identity was revealed. There are probably a 100 other "Bachmans" out there whose books they would have enjoyed reading as well, possibly even more than their favorite King books. Except that because of the author's lack of visibility, they never discovered these works.

Yes, the readers aren't "losing" anything. But nevertheless, they have still missed out on something they would have enjoyed.

"Culture fit" doesn't mean incompetent though.
I feel stupid saying this, but it was explained to me as being like light through a filter, like for spider man, Parker was always going to get powers (all things being equal) but because the trigger was spider related the powers \ way he manifests them are "spider colored", like light through a keyhole, different keyhole, different image, but same light source.

With regard to the X-Men, I think they imply the "present day" is a Cambrian explosion, that then settles down in the far future into the most useful powers becoming common if less godlike levels: immortality, psi, telekinesis, and any other boring wish fulfillment.
How hummingbirds fight the wind: Robotic wing may reveal answer
A good example is burst-workers. I've had a number on the team in the past and it inevitably leads to difficulties. In a solo project it may work well for an individual to mess around online for a few hours before cramming in a bunch of work very quickly. You may finish the same amount of work by the end of the day. Unfortunately in my team environment, the small steps made throughout the day affect the rest of the team's progress, our ability to give proper status updates, and foresee challenges.

This alone may not dissuade me from hiring someone, but things like this add up in the negatives column.
If you're serious about this and this isn't some "change my mind" meme, I'd recommend reading the culture documents of larger companies like Amazon. It's an attempt at standardizing how soft skills are evaluated and hired for. Basically, all interviews are an attempt to discern three things:

1. Can they do the job
2. Will they like the job
3. Will I like working with this person

The third is really where "culture fit" comes in. When you have multiple candidates that qualify for a role, how do you choose between them? You will naturally pick the person you hit it off with the most, which will more than likely be someone like yourself. It is definitely unconscious bias, but I'm not convinced it's unethical discrimination. This is the basis of all hiring ever...not just tech.

People are going to prefer who they choose to prefer. You're not going to build a better team or get better hires by consciously picking people you or the team doesn't want to work with...at least in collaborative fields. To call that unethical is disingenuous.

The way to minimize the influence of "culture fit" is doing more upfront thinking in the "can they do the job" category so you aren't just choosing between two people who both know javascript. Usually the only soft skill I see on a job description is "effective communicator," which is fluff. Think seriously about what it means to contribute to a team, how they contribute, and how you want teams to reach consensus and work together.

To follow up from GPs point I’m in a similar situation and have been doing a lot of interviews recently. We are a fast growing startup, with under 20 people, and tight deadlines (from investors).

A lot of the candidates we’ve interviewed just don’t have the experience working in that sort of environment. We don’t have time to write code perfectly at the moment with pairing, full test coverage, fully TDD, etc. Yes people can learn this, but if you come across as someone who will just spend all day conplaining about that I don’t want you on the team.

Another thing is simple skills like turning up on time. We recently had a couple of on-site interviews (after phone calls) where the candidates turned up more than 30 minutes late, with no good excuse.

This makes me imagine putting people through a trolley problem where you have a serial killer on one side and an 8 week old fetus [1] on the other. That said, many of the people I've known simply argue against the death penalty instead. This may be biased by knowing Catholics, though.

But these rights were not granted to entire groups of people during slavery. See how the Irish were treated both by the British and as immigrants to the US. They were seen as lesser.

Irish Catholics and many other groups had no special place as immigrants, they didn't get positive points for not being African. That's the unfortunate truth with all forms of discrimination, it's hardly something limited by class, race or time.

It isn't about the candidates - think about the long-con. Heated people in an argument tend to ignore rational reasoning. Heated, divided people tend to ignore olive branches "by the other side", and miss potential chances to talk it out and find the truth in the middle. Heated people tend to cherry-pick "facts" in the news/science to further their own agenda - and once when the populace is divided, it acts as a wonderfully lovely* buzz-saw tailor-made to erode democracy because people who fight to the death for "their side" and ignore others tend to make rather obtuse policy choices/votes over the course of the next few decades. Which in turn, impacts the US's global stance little-by-little.

Wow that makes me sad. I think it’s the best sci-fi I’ve seen as of late. It’s crazy to me to think syfy wouldn’t move forward with it. Maybe it’s for the better though; their brand has been significantly tarnished over the years. It would be amazing if AMC would pick it up. I think it fits with Into the badlands and their general feel.
Lambdas saved the language. Java 6 was the kingdom of nouns. You couldn't pass statements or expressions, so instead you had to create classes that happen to contain what you really wanted. Async code was nearly unreadable because the code that matters is spread out and buried.
Let me take a stab at explaining. It’s makes using SBC’s (RPi’s, Beagles, etc) more plug-and-play similar to Arduinos. All the components needed for a functioning Linux system are bundled together for you which makes keeping software and the base image in sync much easier. It also handles setting up any necessary cross-compilers to compile C code and plugins.

Add that with BEAM’s first class services & supervision trees via OTP and you can easily setup multiple “microservices” which can be developed independently but communicate without needing to setup IPC. So no need to deal with systemd or dubs or any of that. Mix (the Elixir dependency manager) is one of the best package management tools I’ve used, and in Nerves it becomes the “package manager” of sorts of the system (though you can use buildroot packages as well for non beam code).

In practical terms it’s pretty easy to grab an RPi, and make a project, set internet settings, do remote updates, etc.

Alright, given this argument, I am now convinced that it was in fact reasonable for the bootcamp to hire an interpreter, and the fact that they didn't do that justifiably opens them up for some kind of legal action.

I think many health systems are using the ACA as a pretext for establishing further monopoly power. Basically the line for the public is "we need all providers in one system so we have all the data and so we can refer patients to the right site of care"

In reality they are bringing all providers under their umbrella to control patients i.e. Market share, and to drive patients to the site of care that is most profitable to them under the constraints of minimizing malpractice risk and quality fines. ACOs are in many cases just a way to increase patient volume at a discount to payers and have nothing to do with risk sharing

Hospitals are an incredibly political powerful entity. The AHA (hospital industry lobbying group) spends about as much as Phrma (pharma lobbying group), but hospitals have massive grassroots political support bc they are huge employers whereas the public hates pharma

Behavior is the key. It's not about where you're from, gender, ethnicity, or anything like that. It's about how you communicate and your work habits.

Just a note: calling oneself a deplorable makes it very tempting for me to deplore you. It's really weird social signaling: someone says you're a terrible group, and they start calling themselves the terribles as if that somehow proves the original point wrong.

I'm more ambivalent about the use of "nasty woman" -- perhaps because I'm blue tribe, but also because the word "nasty" is more ambivalent. It can mean annoying, cruel, promiscuous, or just gross. If it's the last meaning, saying that people have a reflexive negative emotional judgement of you is a far cry from the above, which is a moral judgement.

When there are basically two ISPs in most municipalities, there is no independent third party. And this is before we get to what happens when people start inserting these ideas into peering a la the money grab on Netflix.

The ISPs can filter what you request and host, simple as that. And if you want to start a business, better hope it doesn't compete with any of the ISP parent company's holdings, because they have every right to scuttle access to it. Want to make the best new Netflix? Stay away from any ISP even tangentially associated with Hulu - which might be every ISP in your area. Even if you pick a small, independent ISP, the peering issue remains.

It's hard for me to see why this logic points to the Bible and not the Odyssey or the Iliad, about which we could say much the same things (especially the Iliad, which shows clear marks of some parts of the story being much older than others). Or frankly any very old text with pre-literary roots.

I am certainly pro-Bible, but in the terms you're putting it here it doesn't seem especially compelling.

The Internet was a government network, fully controlled by the government until the transit links were privatized. Once that happened, it took government-granted monopolies to connect ordinary people to it. The fact is that the Internet has been government regulated since day one and deregulating it without a plan in place to ensure the deregulation goes well for the users of the Internet is sheer lunacy, especially since the ISPs have already shown what they plan to do.
