Just because certain Roman officials were from Africa does not mean they were "black" as it would be understood today. Roman Africans were from North Africa. They were either descendants of Roman colonists in North Africa and thus still lighter-skinned, or they were Berbers who had assimilated to Roman culture and ideals. While Berbers can sometimes be swarthier than Europeans, they are not usually considered sub-Saharan-African "black".

And with regard to that website, I would strongly encourage you to get all your information on ancient history from university-press publications instead of amateur websites. There is just too much a risk of encountering crank material on websites, but as that website itself notes, there has been plenty published on this theme by actual scholars.
(Off Topic) interesting that we're seeing two radically different philosophies of software development in this thread, in stark contrast.
This as well:

>"Can it be proven that the axioms of logic are consistent?" Gödel also answered this problem with his "incompleteness theorem," which states that all consistent axiomatic formulations include some undecidable propositions. For more, see the short history of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries.

This is imprecise, and the last sentence is a non sequitur.
True. My environments are not the same. Most will call that a disadvantage. I rather like knowing about environments on various platforms and how my applications support them. Of course there are other, probably better, ways to approach that (:

It sounds like C9 can be really useful for AWS deployment specifically, but beyond that I don’t see much value over git+IDE.

Is John McAfee's new phone really “hack proof”?

John McAfee mentioned in an interview last month a new secure phone he's selling to MGT. https://youtu.be/WBgFGwJA1D0?t=10m44s

Anyone know if this is the phone we've been waiting for (owner controls security, not phone brand, apps, etc)?

Yes, you are the perfect candidate for a PaaS solution.

Then perhaps it's an artifact of European slavery, spread in modernity through American and British cultural influence.
I am interpreting the term "library" somewhat broadly -- my notion is that int isn't conceptually any more core to the language than e.g. the numpy matrix classes. It's built-in for speed, but (apart from some syntactic sugar for literals), it's semantically just another class. In this light, the distinction is happening in the code that defines the int class, not in something deep in the language semantics.

The call to str isn't really a cast (which doesn't really have a counterpart in a language without static types); you're calling the constructor to the str class, which somewhere in it has a code path where it formats an int as a string (probably by way of calling the argument's __str__ method).
Nitpicking: if you're keeping the name, pick a canonical way to spell it and "enforce" that everywhere :-)

If you are into distributed systems (or want to be), I think this is a good project to sink your teeth into.

Joe Hellerstein and Peter Alvaro taught a course using Bloom called "Programming the Cloud" at Berkeley. Here's the GitHub repo.

http://programthecloud.github.io

And no, there's no active community, but there are a lot of people in the distributed systems world who have been affected by the ideas, judging from back references to that project. For me, it was the importance of monotonic operators (which result in coordination-free design), and the relatively rarer number of places where a non-monotonic operation is required (when coordination/consensus is needed). Also, the centrality of lattices in achieving monotonicity was an eye opener.

Which is government regulation, which you claim to be against.

Why not just enforce neutrality, eliminate the silliness that is zero rating, and offer reasonable data allowances instead?
>optics are heavy

It depends on the optics. Modern optics for the visual range are incredibly light.

Also, since you assume optics are heavy, why do you think putting them on a drone is a good idea? You can haul a metric ton of optics in space for years (if not decades) but that drone can probably carry a handful of kg of equipment, and not that many cameras.
Prof. Harper didn’t mention Python. He definitely didn’t accuse people of dishonest advocacy. Stop using his name to support your comments.

You could try to do something positive like talk about how Haskell does something neat which Python doesn’t support. I can think of several examples which are far more interesting than arguing over whether your personal definition of “strong typing” is universally shared.
I agree with your comment about much of the 20th century, which is why I prefaced my comment the way that I did.

I'm in one of those categories and I've experienced extremely minimal racism in the US. I think the UK has more racism against my category.

I think that "some Middle Easterners" is the most controversial category in my list. I have a hard time imagining that Bashar al-Assad would experience very much racism if he were a normal private person.

> Anyone who isn't already backed up to at least 1 cloud service is stuck in the last decade.

Are finances not a concern here, or am I missing something else with this suggestion? I don't backup _anything_ to a cloud provider because my last-decades solutions (automation + home network NAS or SAN at work) _just works_, and I, and my company, don't need the recurring costs hit from a cloud provider.
There are many cars that don't have rear doors, but do have rear seats. The worst case scenario in a Tesla, if the rear doors don't open, doesn't seem any worse than the inevitable situation in a 2 door 2+2.

I suppose we have to assume that we should use the right tool for the right job, and all that. And I'm sure that the Kubernetes folk know what they're doing. But I definitely think that it's too complicated without a cutting-edge Kubernetes expert in place to manage it. And even then, it's just a building block for a larger system.

I've tried maybe half a dozen times to get started for relatively small workloads – let's say between 5 to 50 servers. There seems to be a lack of any good documentation on how to get started – sure, I can spin up a couple of pods on a cluster or whatever, but then actually taking that to an easy-to-deploy, load-balanced, publicly-accessible infrastructure seems to be much harder.

It's maybe a lack of some kind of official, blessed version of a "this is how you should build a modern infrastructure from container to deployment" guide. There are so many different moving parts that it's hard to figure out what the optimal strategy is, and I've not found much to make it easier.

Maybe there's actually a niche for a nice and simple "infrastructure in a box" kind of product. I'd love something like Heroku that I could run on my own bare metal, or on AWS – the various solutions I've tried were all lacking.

In the end I've fallen back to using the Hashicorp stack of Nomad and Consul. This seems to work in a much simpler way that I can actually wrap my brain around – I get a nice cluster running balanced across machines, deploying and scaling my applications as required, and it was super easy to set up with good documentation.

I've been nervous about this approach because of how Kubernetes-mad the industry seems to have gone – so maybe it'll be worth another look when there are some more comprehensive solutions in place that make it easier to get started!
Most racial stereotypes we have now are a modern construct. In the ancient world, it was well known that empires/races were powerful or advanced independent of the color of the skin. Many nations of Africa were feared and admired, while many nations of north Europe were simply considered barbaric.

It's also worth noting that Windows 10 now has a native Linux subsystem, allowing you to run Windows and your choice of Linux distribution in parallel.

It sounds like you've completely misunderstood the aphorism "raising kids and a having a career". It's not the state of being a biological parent that's sought after (which yes parents have automatically) but of _raising_ children.

You can't raise children in absentia. If you're concentrating on your career you simply can't dedicate yourself to raising children.

So, no fathers haven't always had it all because having it all is a practical impossibility in almost all walks of life.
Except that twin research shows that drug use and progression from light drugs to hard drugs to addiction is largely from genetics: https://archives.drugabuse.gov/news-events/nida-notes/twin-s...

Some quotes:

> "The progression from the use of cocaine or marijuana to abuse or dependence was due largely to genetic factors."

> "The genetic influence for abuse was greater for heroin than for any other drug."

Different paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/978047001590...

"For instance, it is estimated that 50–60% of the variation in risk for alcoholism is accounted for by genetic factors."

Now add this on top of the stuff that affects you growing up you can't control.

Saying, "enjoyed doing drugs until it got the better of them" ignores that whether or not you're going to be driven towards drugs is largely determined before you're even born.
Great, thanks for the feedback! I'm no designer by any means. I have already gone through one name change, but your points are fair.
There certainly are controlling interests that exist in our market and government.

Rise of robots threatens to terminate the UK call-centre workforce
like @fear91 almost said, but didn't quite get there.. it's operationally VERY complex. It has it's reasons for being so complex, but jeez! doesn't help that tooling and docs are all over the map. Right now I'd say it's useful only if you can afford to hire a handful of very talented k8s knowledgeable people to babysit it, because it def. needs babysitting.

Maybe in a few years it will be nicely stable. Otherwise you make someone like Google, Microsoft, etc run it for you.

Or skip the complexities and use something operationally simple and sane like Nomad or FreeBSD Jails.
There are minority groups in America that do well despite all their minority status, like asians. This happens because they have the correct mindset with which to approach the world. Everything I see from other minority groups in America, especially blacks, is that they have the main mindset of blaming others instead of themselves for their misfortunes. This kind of mindset won't really get you anywhere in life.

I'm from Brazil if that matters.
Yeah but the rest of the Mac will drive me crazy so it’s a good trade off IMO.

If I had to use a Mac all day I would miss all of the simplicity of using Windows for things like browsing files, managing application windows, having buttons with actual labels, etc. I would miss being able to operate the entire OS with just the keyboard, which is impossible on a Mac.

No, not in Bloom. The sets must be finite.

There is one aspect that is infinite, which is along the time axis. But the way the logic works is that you are never in a position to enumerate all possible behaviours. This is a very superficial answer, and perhaps you'll gain more insight from this paper on the logical semantics:

Contemporary young people should find it easy to understand how this worked and how housing discrimination prevented wealth building. That's because the same thing is now kind of happening intergenerationally via older NIMBY homeowners restricting supply and driving prices to unattainable heights. "Generational redlining" is of course an unintended consequence rather than an intentional policy, but the nature of the effect is illustrative and could serve as a teaching moment.

Good or bad, homeownership is a major way people build wealth in our society. Being excluded from it prevents you from building wealth.

Take the outrage that many younger people feel about generational exclusion from homeownership and then realize that until relatively recently blacks were systematically excluded in much more explicit ways: exclusion from loans, red lining, etc. The effects were the same: no equity, no ability to escape increasing rent, family instability.

It strikes me as strange that the administrators would just take down a library given a bevy of cheap and easy solutions and then lie about it. Is it possible? Sure. But unless I get some kind of evidence of that, my prior is to be very suspicious of claims like 'X is possible, cheap and easy, and the only reason someone doesn't do X is because they are bad.'

> Requesting ADA compliance almost always leads to a net social gain and even when it does lead to a loss, that's not the fault of the requester

Not obvious considering the frequency of [predatory ADA lawsuits](https://www.dailynews.com/2017/05/24/ada-lawsuit-abuse-remai...). In the case of large companies that border on public utilities I would agree with you. In the case of smaller companies the cost of compliance could easily be greater than social gain.

Color of skin is a completely unhelpful concept, which can only be the product of a culture create by extremely white people. Just consider for example the fact that in India people in the same region vary considerably is skin tone. Similarly, in Africa there is a huge diversity of skin colors. The same can be said of the nations living around the Mediterranean. Skin color is a stupid way to classify people, and is a sub product of northern European cultures.

So even though you can find a way to live with that mindset, if it's a mindset that focuses on things you have no control over, it will be less useful than another mindset that focuses solely on things you do have control over. That's the main point I was trying to get across.
