Sometimes, yes. Wine can have a very complex flavor profile and at some point, you have to label what you taste and smell using words. Either we go with things we already have to describe odor and taste ("smells like chocolate", or "has a very buttery mouthfeel") or we have to invent new words...
So you've never lied at work?
Everyone is lying at work to some degree. That's what office politics is all about, even though it is not straight lying.

How many times did my managers not "lie" to me by telling me that it is impossible for the company to give a raise or anything as a policy right now, while my colleague gets one one week later (sharing salary information is beautiful!)
Alternatively, if you wanted to really dig into this, you could try to find every switch-mode power supply and replace them with (much less efficient) linear power supplies. You'd need a larger water-cooling system though.
I think it helps to think of wine more as consumable art. Art, like the mona lisa has its value tied not in the intrinsic properties but its position within its cultural and historical context.

The trick being that this environment is a sub environment available only to those with a lot of time and money. Ability to appreciate indicates knowledge and belonging to this sub environment.

The mind actually activates more strongly when the context is known. Similar to how a certain degree of discipline is necessary for classical music or sailing to actually enjoy them.

But because the actual context is much smaller than the perceived context its also a ripe context to BS in. Similar to emperors clothes except that maybe perhaps once upon a time such invisible thread did/does exist.
If no one gives a crap about your cool new product, there’s a BIG reason why

"but if you post more than a couple of replies they get collapsed up"

Forums do the same thing, just with pagination instead of collapsing. Newcomers to a thread or FB post aren't going to read through the last 40 pages of comments, but the option to do so is still available.
The transceiver powering up is actually noisy. I had a Nokia 2100 series in the late 90s that generated enough emi to distort a CRT if it was sitting next to it.

You could hear the whine from across the room a few seconds before a call would ring through.
I can be tabbed out and hear when I get into the plane in PUBG from the increase in whine. It's quite nice actually.
REST isn't a standard protocol. It exists and is used by convention.

Throw a rock and you'll hit a developer who understands REST a little differently.

While there are technically "more correct" ways of doing it, you probably won't be berated for doing it your own way.

I've worked a dozen or so different jobs and I've never been in an organization that handles REST the same way.

There's really no "enlightenment". It's just a way to get data from one place to another in a relatively simple way with low overhead using protocols that already exist.

Check out SOAP. It's a standard protocol. Compare how it works to how REST works and you'll probably pretty easily see the differences and benefits to each.
Can't resist the chance to recommend the Japanese comic Bunburyoutou (文武両闘).

There is a free trial (in Japanese) at
http://maoh.dengeki.com/try/bunburyoutou/index.html
but that is geoblocked an image search using the kanji above should give you the idea.

Basically the author took the idea of chess boxing and then let his imagination run wild. For example: In one contest the fighters competed to factor a series of increasingly large numbers, with the winner getting the sum of the factors in seconds for a free attack on their opponent.
Do you think management at this company respects their employees? Or maybe they refer to them as "resources", treat them as disposable, fungible, commodities, and deserve no more respect in turn?

Not saying that is the case, but the question deserves asking. Respect is a two way street.
I'd say a good half of the smartphones I've owned over the years have had audible something, even when not plugged in and supposedly silent.

Some were barely noticeable, while one in particular (a Droid Turbo) was so loud I could hear it getting ready to receive a call from another room. This was regardless of whether they were plugged in or not, although charger whine was its own separate issue.

Thankfully it does seem to be getting better over time- my current S8 is, as far as I can tell, genuinely silent.
With comments like this, can you believe it that people say Big Tech has an ethics problem?
I've only had one company and 2 government jobs check my references in 25 years in the field (feds were checking for clearance, so required).

I call my references to see if they were contacted after I've been offered positions in the past it's amazing how little it happens.

I don't check references because I don't give a shit. You're either giving people that like you, or why would you be giving them at all. If you're still employed, calling that person's current job is a huge no-no (could cost them their employment).

What the fuck is so hard about just figuring out if you like someone and hiring them. Telling them fully what goals you expect them to achieve and giving them the tools to do the job. Then if they're not successful, letting them go.

Oh yeah, you'd have to be a good employee yourself and work for a good company to do that.
So I'm guessing passive cooling like this is only obtainable at stock clocks and low voltages? How does it handle PUBG?

I'd also like to present the loudest computer I've ever seen as a counterexample.

Yes, but if you have a mortgage and have been there for a long time, you're probably sitting on a gold-mine. i wonder if bay area residents ever consider how much money they could make if they just picked up and moved some where else. I bet many of their houses (or the equivalent amount of equity invested in rent ROI optimized houses) could out-earn the people living in them, if they bought more than 20 years ago.

It is probably silly to dream that kernels will change their behavior, if FreeBSD had to revert such an improvement. However as you describe env is actually downstream of the kernel, so if it were improved we could envision shebangs like the following:

#!/usr/bin/env --new-env-behavior-parse-all-args=bash -e

Some people might prefer a less verbose flag, but perhaps making it extra-yucky would improve adoption?

Here's a weird/fun thought: what if the NSA was trying to lose?

This is the NSA. They're no fools. And they know that no one is going to trust them, especially if they try to bully their way and not reveal details.

What if the next-best competitor for this encryption is actually something they've broken? Could be that they got clever and lucky and figured it out, could be that they planted it with someone secretly working for the NSA. Then it would be in their interest to loudly lose in such a way that the standards committee picks the secretly-broken encryption rather than the one the NSA was pushing.

Fun tinfoil hat ideas, naturally, but it would sure make a better story than the NSA trying to backdoor an encryption standard again.
I tend to agree. I'll also point out that it's partly an issue of language. I feel like (at least in the case of English) the words for describing taste are less developed than, say, sights.

So while I can describe a car finish as "matte black", or "iridescent blue-green" without resorting to simile, I can't describe flavors without saying something like, "it tastes like {another thing you may have also tasted}". So wine tasters end up leaning on seemingly wacky comparisons to communicate the subtleties they perceive (real or imagined).
There's a long list of atrocities in human history that have been committed with the best - or at least, good, or at worst, neutral intentions.

Perhaps we should judge organizations based on what they actually do, as opposed to what they intend to do, or what they tell themselves they intend to do.
Imagine being a kid in the 80s or 90s at school and hearing the distinctive 20k tone of a CRT Television humming and wondering if you were going to be watching TV in one of your classes that day. It was like a dog whistle for kids.
In any other profession I would agree with the complete nonsense going on with hiring, but at least in IT (and at least in the bay area), there is such a demand for engineers that I don't see this going on too much except at some of the big shops (Google, Facebook etc) which are frontended with incompetent recruiters that only look at keywords.

> At a recent natural wine fair in London, I encountered winemakers who farmed by the phases of the moon and didn’t own computers; one man foraged his grapes from wild vines in the mountains of Georgia;

I wonder if those wild grapes were muscadine or scuppernongs? They grow wild in NC, and are absolutely delightful. They're big, juicy, super sweet, with the only downsides being a pit inside and tough skin on the outside. Still would prefer them to the seedless grocery store grapes any day. I've only tried a few wines made from them, and though I'm no expert on the topic, I think it's worth a try if you're in the mood for something a bit more adventurous. The price is usually quite reasonable too.
You've stumped me here, I've been wondering what I meant for a day now.

I think its more a combination of the fact that he was simultaneously saying things to both parties, and the fact that he was willing to look foolish in the process. I'm not expressing it well.
Thanks very much for writing this.
Def true in Canada.
You didn't prove much. You have to be in the right state of mind to appreciate subtle things in wine. If you aren't paying attention to it (eg, you are at a party and not a wine tasting event), you'll miss it.

Just because nobody could tell the difference doesn't mean the cheaper wines were the same as the expensive wines. It just means you served expensive wine at a party where nobody was expecting to have to put effort into analyzing their wine.

Lets not even forget that some of these folks could have a been a few drinks in already...

Just because we know the Romans used lead, doesn't mean they were the only ones or the only possible cause (both unknown unknowns). There's no contradiction, there's an unshared set of assumptions.
Backdoor references are very unethical in my opinion. Beyond the fact that you are telling a third party about someone’s job search without the searcher’s consent, you can also get a very biased opinion.

My wife was fired from a job at a well known University in the area. She had 2 bosses in a year, one of them twice after coming back from prolonged mental health leave. Within a month of coming back my wife’s boss had a long term relationship end which lead to my wife being blamed for everything and anything, and was then subsequently fired.

On the other hand, my wife has excelled at her current job. She has been promoted 4 times at this point to a director level position and is extremely well respected. If they were to call her previous boss (who has had multiple people promoted over her in the past 2.5 years), the review would be awful and not reflective of my wife’s work.

You know what would have caught this without any effort what-so-ever? Calling the company and verifying dates of employment. It is part of every job application, and is expected.
> But despite months of investigation, prosecutors have been unable to bring charges against the man, who is a former CIA employee being held in a Manhattan jail on unrelated charges.

They don't have enough to bring charges, but they're happy to go to the press with a name?
> Part of being employed is simply compromising with the organization on these things.

Since my definition is different from my employers, you say I should adopt their definition, and call this "compromise"? That's an interesting way to use that word.
It would be a far better use of the water to save it for life support or crack it into hydrogen and oxygen. Regolith can be used to create structures without having to haul everything up out of Earth's gravity well. It's also chock full of aluminum, so that would be easy to make with a nuclear or solar smelter. But water would never be used as a structural material, that would be a tremendous waste.
The reason this is done in public is because plenty of fraud happens when only officials can get access to property ownership and tax info -- even in countries that are relatively less corrupt.

Also, the bit about mortgages means that mortgages rates are lower when appraisals are more accurate; the largest inputs to home value appraisals in the US are sales data and tax data.
I've had much success with fanless industrial computers for certain applications in certain environments. Seeing someone do it manually though is super cool (especially the vram chip heatsinks... why have I never thought of that before?!)

How does this work in the case when you're still employed at a current place and a looking to make a change?

Edit - I think you mean doing a verification after an offer is put out.
What I failed to say when suggesting a POST only API was that the various access methods could be encoded in the body of the request. Also I didn’t understand that REST isn’t tied to HTTP’s methods - but rather HTTP is itself a REST implementation... from what I understand. Thank you for that.
It could also be the earpiece/speaker turning on and having static noise right before the notification sound is made.

The easiest way to experience this is to plug in headphones and hear the clicking before/after a sound is made.
You can call it "catfishing" like you just captured a criminal mastermind, but people of color generally don't have the reference game down and are forced into doing stuff like this in order to avoid having their application thrown in the garbage.

References are more of a "how many connected white people do you know" check than anything else. If you always had references to call on before you even finished school than you probably won't even understand the world of people who did not, and the people who didn't get that first internship and have no way to break in short of fraud.
First, you can't go back to your twenties and you shouldn't try.

When you are still in a school environment, there's an environment that for doing problems for problem's sake. For all you have trained so far, be able to solve problems is how you were measured and feels like a life's purpose.

By thirty you probably get the hint that life is not about solving fake problems, and most of the knowledge you learn at school is useless and pointless. If you try the suggestion to sit down and do exercises, I doubt you would be able to keep at it long enough for any gain.

But at thirty, you have the luxury of not worry about midterms and finals and you probably can afford multiple books. So first, find your love of physics. Second, collect old text books. Third, read them. Fourth, criticize them. Fourth, throw away the book that you've digested or is bad. When you can throw away all the books (the knowledges are all online anyway), you are learned.
You're supposed to lie in socially acceptable ways. Preferably ones where both parties know the other is lying.

Your boss lies to you that he can't give you a raise, you lie to the hiring manager that you won't take the job without a 10% bump in pay, your VP lies that the merger won't affect headcount, etc.
and on the surface
What exactly are you trying to correct? Read your own link.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positive_paradox says:

> concluding that a positive test result probably indicates a positive subject, even though population incidence is below the false positive rate, is a "base rate fallacy".

Whereas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecutor%27s_fallacy says:

> At its heart, the fallacy involves assuming that the prior probability of a random match [i.e. the odds of a positive test result] is equal to the probability that the defendant is innocent [i.e. the odds of a positive subject]. For instance, if a perpetrator is known to have the same blood type as a defendant and 10% of the population share that blood type, then to argue on that basis alone that the probability of the defendant being guilty is 90% makes the prosecutor's fallacy

Those are the same mistake. The prosecutor's fallacy is a base rate fallacy.
Oh no they just threatened to "end my career" if I ever talked about the interview or the company two days after I walked out. There are a lot of dirtbags in tech.
When something is neither obvious (like, say, the axioms of planar geometry) nor subject to geometric or mathematical proof (like, say, the infinitude of primes) or experimentation (the atomic theory of matter), it's interesting at a philosophical level to discuss why we should believe P or not-P (or neither or both, I suppose)

Personally, since it appears that there's no feasible physical scenario which would point to the "truth" of ZFC over ZF+~C, I have trouble understanding how it's useful to debate the point. I can tell you what happens in the thought experiment with the infinite number of prisoners: according to GR, since they are infinitely massive they collapse into a black hole no matter the average density of the sphere enclosing all the prisoners. Thus, the axiom of choice is disproven :-P
Most of your cause and effect here is correct. I think, The reason you're being down voted is probably because you said it was silly to complain about housing prices. yes, there are many many political problems that cause high housing prices. But, there's still many victims of those housing prices/policies that didn't have anything to do with creating those egregious policies

Excellent exposition of the current landscape and of the notion that there is no single definition of FP.

I'd like to add that type-systems are not a defining feature of functional programming because you can have type-systems in what are considered "non functional" languages as well.

Immutability it jives with functional but is really an orthogonal feature as well.

So what is left? I would say is the ability to create closures because that clearly MAKES IT EASY TO CREATE FUNCTIONS without having to separately type the separate source-code of every individual function. Closures make that easy. Closures make it easy to "calculate with functions" because it becomes so easy to create new functions.
The giant spike around the time of Alexander's death is interesting (did they open some big new mine?), along with the relatively elevated level thereafter. It's as if the Hellenistic era and the Pax Romana were almost contiguous, with the crisis of the Roman republic as a passing interruption.

My story is I spent about a year trying to get into wine... admitedly for the slightly shallow goal of impressing women, and then I spent a summer in Germany with some family and came back a beer aficionado, and haven't looked back since. The American craft scene has exploded since then and it's easy to find phenomenal beers here. (though good german/belgium imports are still my goto)

I have, however, been learning how to cook (I can not thank blue apron enough), and have been really enjoying using wine in my cooking. The main wines I still drink are port, madeira, pino, and icewine.
Not op, but I am a budget peaty whiskey drinker :)

This is very controversial, but have a go at Black Label. In my opinion, it is one of the heavily undervalued whiskeys. Otherwise, I found Scotch to be expensive in the US, but I got a bottle of Monkey Shoulder for around 30 bucks which did Okay. Not very peaty, but it does the job on a budget.

If you don’t mind going a little higher, Laphroaig, Caol Ila, Lagavulin, Talisker are the usual suspects. On a budget I would say don’t worry about age too much. 10y Laphroaig is fine! Age is easily overvalued (because it markets easily with people who are afraid to admit they don’t know), as is single
malt. Not saying it doesn’t matter; I just find it hard to justify the price hike, sometimes. Although for peat, single malts do tend to be better, unfortunately. :)

I think the fact that this new font has an installed base of 0 counts against it's versatility.

I think the fact that a negligible amount of the general public could pick the new font (knowingly, not by guessing) out of a group of 9 other sans fonts counts against it's ability to distinguish the airbnb brand from others.
