So, correct me if I'm wrong, you are saying that

- opinions are never the equivalent of spreading FUD

- classifying an opinion as FUD is a slippery slope that will lead to an Orwellian dystropy

Here's an opinion:

- Linux is a terrible operating system, because it is open-source. Open-source software does not allow you to capitalize on the work you put down. Anarchy will arise when all software is open-source.
Someone living in a trailer park in thier mid 40s will see my 5 bedroom house in the burbs - something any developer with 8+ years experience can afford in my market - just as out of reach as what the millionaire can afford. They will just as willingly vote for a politician to raise my taxes as they would the billionaire.

How many people making the median household income of $60K a year will object to a politician saying tax everyone extra making a household income of $116K- the top 20% of household income?

Randall Munroe is everything Neil deGrasse Tyson isn't. And by that I mean... not a bore.
Languages are moving so fast recently that mastery is something of a moving target in a lot of cases. Often using different languages can give you a better insight into how features in other languages can be used - e.g. learning OOP/classes while managing all the complexities of C++ can leave you slightly confused about the whole thing, but if you go learn some Java where it's forced on you, it makes a lot more sense in C++.

"Basically if there is an internet community that's not expressily rightwing, it's community will be leftwing, so leftwing people don't need a space for themselves"

I'd argue the exact opposite. Most of the big internet forums, reddit, 4chan, gaming forums are all right leaning to greater or lesser degrees, and most of the smaller forums I've come across in many many years of wasted time on the internet follow this pattern. The lack of a left wing forum is perhaps more due to the demographics of internet forums in general and the fact that forums as a medium are inherently a little abrasive and open to trolling.
I think unit testing is underrated in this area - no documentation can be better than some additional unit tests that show exactly how to use the code in the real world.

Even if it blends over a little into integration testing, the additional test work (and time to run tests) really pays off in terms of understanding and reusing an old project.
>Who checks the code?

This is not specific to NPM. You can ask the same question for any language repository. And the answer will be in the most cases same.
Pretty much all non-trivial Pascal code from that era included inline assembly. Either for performance or for accessing some low level functionality. That's the ultimately gun for shooting yourself.
> The next crash will be student loans.

Yes, and it will be ugly. It was already getting bad before the tax code overhaul, but now that the payment of interest on student loans is not deductible (by anyone, namely diligent debt-paying low-income grads for whom the tax deduction was originally intended, those making < $80K), it is kind of inevitable.
Introducing Datazar Paper
I did in fact miss the purported locking of the Apple ID. It appears as though accounts can be locked under certain circumstances[1].

So the Apple ID was locked, presumably due to many accidental or malicious attempts to log in to the account. The account owner is then left having to perform account recovery, which is where the security questions and access to the email address's inbox come into play.

HMD's are a pretty good solution to VR, but there are still a number of unsolved problems which can't be addressed by higher pixel density, faster refresh, and more powerful GPUs.

Reading these makes me very happy, I'm so grateful Mr Munroe is still working on them.
>But shutting up is of course is the exact opposite of what the people involved are doing – as the Times points out, several IDW members have audiences in the millions, monthly Patreon revenue in the five to six figures, and (with a big enough security detail) regular college speaking engagements.

That's beside the point though, as I don't think the complain/claim is that they are silenced from everywhere and have no audience.

Rather it is that while their opinions are popular, they are still unrepresented and silenced in the mainstream media -- including the Times itself.

Posts like these remind me why Internet is amazing.
True but with NPM, I feel like the surface area is much larger because of the number of modules.

If you use Golang, then you'll mostly be using the stdlib plus some libraries. A much smaller surface area and checking that code becomes more feasible.
And this is why I donate to the FSF.

Yeah, Stallman's out there. But he's not wrong. It only takes a bit more time to show the abuses that he warns about.

I sit in a weird place where I admin and advocate for Windows and Linux. Feels wrong, but I introduced Linux into a bunch of windows admins. I felt that going the full kerb/ldap/radius/linOTP/shib stack would be too much to chew immediately. Steps :)
It's like tring to make very fancy coins. Go notes. Use eletronic money. But if you use coins, you usually do it because it's simple.
The problem with flitting between many languages is that these are very perishable skills. To be productive is not merely a matter of being proficient with the keywords and syntax, you need to have in your working memory vast swathes of the standard libraries so you know when to just use a standard function versus reinventing the wheel or spending all your time consulting the docs. This fades quickly if you aren’t doing it every day. I don’t think it’s really possible for most engineers to have more than 2-3 languages that they are really good at, whereas you can dabble in a dozen or more if you are just making small changes to existing code.

The real question is not which language is the best but what is the language and libraries most used in the industry/field you want to work in? Figure that out then go deep.

It seems obvious to me that UBI is a replacement for minimum wage laws.

Since the thread is more akin to a trash fire than something of substance, perhaps, I can offer some insight into my comment.

My comment is merely a nod to the notion that I believe we're missing out on brilliant minds that could shape our future. Brilliance and genius aren't confined to a race or gender. This is nothing about being white, and it's not about diversity for diversity's sake. It's more about progress.

We've all benefitted from the aforementioned greats and their contributions. I do, however, think there are some rocks unturned and I'd like to see them given a chance.
What if a robot concluded it had to acquire the car to prevent a human from being harmed?
"...beyond that"... that is funny. The "ability to work anywhere in the EU" is a huge win for all countries involved, and it alone would be worth having the EU.
And what kind of "regulations that seem to be hurting a lot of smaller countries" do you mean? I can't think of any.

Point I'm getting at is that very few people start a business solely for financial reasons, there's usually some level of passion involved.

You really think that the average small business person working from themselves are doing it out of "passion" rather than that's their best alternative? Many small business owners work as much as possible to avoid having to pay someone else, hardly ever take vacations, and if given the choice, I'm sure would rather work in a nice comfortable white collar job if they could make the same amount of money.

Ah, in that case I read it wrong, thank you. That's never spelled out in the article, especially with lines like:

The assertion is not in contradiction to the study. Study makes no claims on healthiness of eggs.

Scientifically, healthy-unhealthy food does not exist. There's no health scale. Everything depends on the context.

If your blood results and other health information is stable, whatever you're eating isn't doing you any harm, then that's a healthy lifestyle.

Trying to divide foods into healthy and unhealthy is impossible.
Exactly. Don't use Apple hardware, don't write for Apple hardware. There are plenty of mobile platforms that need some care, help them become relevant instead of giving yourself into the hands of a walled garden owner.

The post in question includes the following:

> When asked in the earning call last week about reservations and how many people chose to cancel/take up their car once offered, Musk stunningly called the question "boring" and "boneheaded" ...

The following excerpt is the one instance of the words "boring" or "boneheaded" in the earnings call, as you can see in a transcript at https://seekingalpha.com/article/4169027-tesla-tsla-q1-2018-...

> Antonio M. Sacconaghi - Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. LLC: And so where specifically will you be in terms of capital requirements?

> Elon Reeve Musk - Tesla, Inc.: Excuse me. Next. Boring bonehead questions are not cool. Next?

The question was not about reservations or people cancelling their car, and there was no context to that effect.
> If this is what a "fall" looks like to you

The EU has massive structural problems - sure most of them are not a direct fault of the EU but it certainly weakens the union.

Just look at youth unemployment in Spain for example. There is an entire generation growing up out of work and not building any skills. They can't compete in a global market.

What happens when Spain falls on actual hard times?

Or for example a small number of refugees have caused a huge shift right in politics and a lot of friction between member states. What will happen when there is a serious refugee crisis?
Noob question: Is there room for below average programmers? If so, where?

Yeah... because your email provider shuts down, and you keep using it for your apple account id, that is totally the fault of Apple.
I think what irritates me the worst is that as far as I have been able to tell, there's no way to inform YouTube that you have written permission or a license. Some people just have privilege to not be Content ID stricken, and other people have to appeal when they inevitably do get hit.
I'm half-time (18.75 hours per week) but got my job by originally being full-time and putting in a flexible working request - which you have a legal right to do in the UK if you have children under a certain age and have worked there a certain period of time. No right to have flexible working granted but if they refuse the reason has to fall into one of a certain set of categories. Obviously not a good way to get a part-time from scratch though!
I was curious about the backlog being a century so I did some googling around and it looks like a user on quora did a bit of reading and math and figured that an Indian person applying today can expect a wait of 100-150 years to get a GC.

1. Worked as contractor 25 hours a week. Got offers to become employee by some clients, took one up on it. Kept working 25 hours, but over years went up to ~32 hours.

2. Negotiated 35 hour work week at next job.

3. Negotiated 35 hour work week at job after that.

Person in link above has been doing this for 15 years, I think he typically does 32 hours or 4 days a week.
This is what I'm doing right now; I work four days a week. It is amazing and I don't think I will go back to full-time unless there is an extraordinarily compelling opportunity (and that doesn't mean FANG).

One benefit is I'm able to shift my off-days to Fridays and the next Monday to get a 4 day weekend, every once in a while. For example, I have a friend overseas visiting me this weekend; and that's what I'm doing.

There are a couple others here who are on non-FT contracts, so it hasn't been that odd.

I'm curious how 75% time works. Would you work 4 days a week, with one of the days being a quarter shorter?

There is a scene in Peter F. Hamilton's SF novel "Fallen Dragon" which immediately made me remember the restaurant "joke" from "Portnoy's Complaint".

> Our culture as produced in books/film/tv/music is dominated by left leaning beliefs.

This could either be a conspiracy comprising of every author of every medium...

OR

It's because stories need sympathetic characters, and current Republican values aren't sympathetic.

I'm not trying to be divisive or flippant, though I'm sure this will be the effect. But success in media is driven by believable sympathetic characters (alternatively explosions), the only two that currently come to mind was John Goodmans character in Alpha House, and Ron Swanson (clearly libertarian) in Parks & Recreation, both of whom are very sympathetic characters, that put people before politics, and neither of whom would accept the last couple of years of their party's behavior.

TL;DR: It's either caused by a vast conspiracy, or the effect of what works in story telling, whichever you think is more reasonable.
Yeah, I did wonder if that was it. I've since discovered that busses are a thing that only poor people do in the US.

You have to understand the true nature of American power.

America invades Iraq, slaughters a million people, fundamentally destabilizes the ME leading to the rise of ISIS, and then caps this off by dumping billions of dollars of advanced weapon systems on the region's two fiercest aggressors, Saudi Arabia and Israel.

But if you talk to most Americans it becomes very clear that they sincerely believe that China is the most significant aggressive threat to the world and Iran is responsible for chaos of the ME.

The interesting thing here is that Americans aren't trying to fool or mislead anybody else, only themselves. They don't really care what anybody else thinks and as long as they remain wholly isolated they can preserve the illusion. Every once in a while Americans will hear that the rest of the world believes they are the greatest threat to world peace [1] but this is met only by a moment of blank bewilderment or assertions that the rest of the world is just jealous. But this total disconnect between actual reality and obsessive paranoid fantasies isn't a symptom -- it's the whole point. That's the game.

A French friend describes it best: "Americans are super-heroes of bad faith."

It's what explains articles like this. Again, these people aren't pretending. It's what they really believe. In the author's mind, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X -- both threatened, imprisoned, and ultimately assassinated -- were "celebrity spokespeople" for the left. (I won't even go into wackiness where Malcolm X is "more famous" than Coates, at this point I suspect that the author himself doesn't understand what he's writing.) In the author's mind, being anti-PC is somehow a deeply "taboo" stance. In the author's mind all of the fundamental, "Orthodox" institutions are controlled by liberals who control the "airwaves and pulpits and universities." In the author's mind, the big problem with silencing is that people censor themselves rather than being actually censored by powerful corporations and governments. The conclusion is tragic: anti-PC ideologies, despite being secretly super popular, have ultimately failed to "penetrate to anywhere they might actually have power."

All of this has absolutely no relationship to reality and this is the point. The true goal here is to promote and validate an alternate reality such that communication with the reality-based community becomes impossible. All of this nonsense isn't meant to convince or persuade reasonable people, that's why it's nonsense. The nonsense serves only to isolate the author and his readers. The question itself, and the plea -- "won't somebody think of the brave anti-PC youtubers!" -- is so disconnected from reality and contravenes all objective measurement that it will only attract the true believers. That anti-PC and anti-liberal ideologies are heavily popularized and pushed 24/7 in the vast majority of Youtube videos, the most popular news networks, the majority of state governments and ultimately by the President himself is what gives the entire exercise its power.

I wouldn't think of it in those terms. Most programmers aren't "amazingly good" at it. So, I'd say most work as ... programmers.

I just wanted to make this point because I've repeatedly seen folks frustrated by others who just get things faster and ultimately make progress much more quickly in their careers.

I think it's useful/important to acknowledge that programming is a bit like sports. It's not fair, but some people start with an incredible genetic (or something) advantage built in. I've seen this time and again.
That's the case right now; except I don't read any of that. To get my money, journalists would have to up their game. And mind you, I pay 0$ right now.

So changing that changes the incentives. If people still mostly want the stuff they are being fed right now AND are happy paying for that, well ... who are we to complain.
My original title for this submission was "Moderate level of egg consumption (<1 egg/day) lowers risk of heart disease". It was edited probably because it was clickbait-y? [1] Nevertheless, I feel that the summary was quite surprising - "Daily consumers also had an 18% lower risk of CVD death and a 28% lower risk of haemorrhagic stroke death compared to non-consumers."

How about arguing specifics instead of merely emoting? For instance, what does a national border mean to you? Is it totally meaningless? What is a nation? Does it share any characteristics at all, with the concept of a family? Should a country not set any requirements for entry or should it adopt a free-for-all with no barriers? Actually I'm not taking sides here but merely suggesting it would be instructive to see a salient point or two in support of your evident take on Orbán. There are lots of people I don't like but who gives a damn if I don't offer reasons for my preferences that show some evidence of intelligent analysis on my part?

The possibility exists that the online version of the form would be presented with that challenge, but the paper version was printed when the simple checkbox option was presented (I'm asssuming they bulk print blank forms ahead of time).

So then the principle that "every action on the web form is matched by the customer's ink marks on paper" would be invalid. They'd have to print that exact iteration of the Captcha and have the customer do exactly that.

The person I interviewed in that link who has been doing this for 15 years has seen many different arrangements depending on the company's needs, HR rules, and the like:

1. X hours per week, spread out however.

2. Specific day off per week (so I guess you could do 1.5 days off?)

3. Lots of extra guaranteed unpaid leave/vacation that he could use as he wanted.

I've done 35 hours a week, and I just have longer and shorter days, based on personal needs, when I have meetings, the weather, etc. :)
