Aluminium is a common element. Refining it to a metal is a very difficult process (compared to other metals). It was so valuable that it was part of the showing off a young United States did for the Washington Monument. http://www.tms.org/pubs/journals/jom/9511/binczewski-9511.ht...

> Frishmuth proposed that the pyramid be made of aluminum at a quoted price of $75, and if he was unsuccessful in casting it in aluminum he would cast it in aluminum bronze and plate it with gold for a total cost of $50, or, if platinum-plated, for $75. Aluminum bronze was an alloy of 90 parts copper and 10 parts aluminum and was quite abundant on the commercial market in 1884. The principal manufacturer was the Cowles Brothers of Niagara Falls, New York, who used a patented thermal process employing an electric resistance furnace and a raw material containing aluminum oxide and copper. The aluminum produced was always combined with the copper and could not be separated from it.
I'm curious about the "backlash" against the Enron verdict. I don't think there was any public sympathy for that company when it happened. Was the feeling of unfair justice largely concentrated in elite circles outside of the view of the public?
In the US it depends on the state. Most states have a point system like you describe, except some states don’t (Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, and Wyoming don’t).

This isn't necessarily true. One of my past mentors is somebody who just isn't wired for corporate life, but works really really well as a consultant for those same corporations. The sheer amount of work he has had to do to claw his way to the top of the web development consultancy world is insane, but it was a much better fit for him than trying to shoehorn himself into a corporate political hierarchy.
I suspect a huge amount of the value of it is because it is personal, I.e. based heavily on his past experience. It means he is always just refreshing his memory rather than looking at something new.

It’s why my Programmer’s Compendium [0] may only ever be useful to me. If you try looking at some of the more complete pages there, you might think they’re useless, but they’re, in fact, all that I need to write down.

However, mine is public, and there’s not much harm in these things being public, because perhaps it can be useful to someone else one day. I would encourage people to share knowledge by default.

So while I also think making it public is a good idea, I would also say never be under pressure to make it accessible to others!

What’s good for learning is almost never good for reference.

will happily start Docker with it listening on my IP address without TLS. It will print an all-caps warning, but nothing else (you don't even need to pass a --give-the-internet-root-access flag). However, I just submitted a PR which adds the --give-the-internet-root-access flag[1] because it's pretty obvious to me that very few users do this intentionally (and with full knowledge of the consequences).

I agree and that is exactly what I meant.

However these circumstances can also be a matter of safety. For instance, an easily exploitable SSH vulnerability can incur serious damage to lots of institutions.

Further, the embargo isn't/shouldn't be about protecting Intel - it's about protecting everyone that uses Intel CPUs (sometimes those goals are aligned, sometimes not). How you go about that is one thing and if you intentionally disrespect that embargo (whether you were in on it or not) means that the assumptions and motivations for the embargo are invalidated and the consequences could be huge.

Now you don't necessarily have to agree with the embargo but if you don't know the consequences (in this case it looks like it was likely to be known) you take it up on yourself that you (with most likely very limited information) can identify the consequences of doing such a disclosure.

It's the same problem of doing a irresponsible disclosure of a major vulnerability. Most do consider that to be a dick move.

If designed properly it would not. High-income employees would get more pay out of the program, but they would also have to pay more into the program. It would be a wash, just like employment insurance or social security.

There is in all cultures a language of educated discourse. To take an extreme example, nobody ever natively spoke scholarly Mandarin and wrote eight-legged essays for fun. The SAT is less severe, but, yeah, it requires some effort and practice to be familiar with the language and the essay format. Not being able or willing to put in the effort to learn this very accessible information is not a good sign for being able to survive equally or moreso arbitrary environments in university.
Assembling Your Exit Team? How to Crush It and Win
The interests of platform vendors and developers are not aligned.

Developers want their skills to be portable, in order to maximize the market for their labor. Platform vendors want you to stick with their offerings in order to maximize the value of the platform.

Even so, vendors can choose how high to dial up the pain they inflict on developers who dare to wander. Trying to develop websites that worked across multiple browsers a decade ago was incredibly painful because of Microsoft dragging its feet on standards compliance for IE. It was so bad that many developers from that era will bear a grudge towards Microsoft for the rest of their lives.

I always laugh bitterly when I hear from a vendor about how much they care about developers. If you really cared about developers you wouldn't make our lives so damn difficult. A huge chunk of my life has been lost to switching costs.

Probably the best remedy is to use developer-governed FOSS platforms whenever possible. The perverse incentives towards lockin don't go away entirely, but they are much less.

It's not total nonsense - trends and tools dictate the way you think.

I appreciate someone formally writing out their thoughts.

My instinct and conventional advice reflects the principles outlined in this guide.

However, how do we know it’s true?

They had a great product but of course he discounted that.

We start with Paeno numbers because they are probably the simplest inductive data type that set the scene for how we tend to proves things in dependently typed programming (inductive reasoning). Proving the things you want are probably doable (I can't say for certain, they are vaguely specified which does not fit with formal methods), but significantly more involved. Trying to take the reader from nothing to that in a single blog post or talk is beyond anyone's ability. Generally, this is because dependent types aren't quite ready for mainstream in terms of convenience.

That said, I'd read some of Edwin Brady's research, as he is actively trying to find the intersection of "business programming" and dependent types: https://edwinb.wordpress.com/publications/

Like I say in another comment, my partner works for a small startup of ~12 people, 7 of whom became pregnant and gave birth in the last five years or so, while working for the company.

The company manages just fine. It's a small startup of a dozen people. Almost two thirds of their employees had babies and the company's productivity never suffered from it. Fact, one of the ladies had twins and came back after a month, to continue ruling over the lesser mortals with an iron hand.

So I can say with convicton that there is no logic in claiming that a woman's productivity has to take a hit if she has babies. Much less any "biological reality" to any of what you have written.

You just severely understimate pregnant women and mothers, is all.
I think you ought to include more details.

It's not that I couldn't get hired, more like I couldn't find the right thing at that time, the kind of job I would want to invest myself into. I did talk with many people back then, many people wanted to hire me, I even tried one of them for some time, but left after a month.

So, from talks to ideas, I started 2 projects with a few people, and these are working quite well now. It wasn't planned, it wasn't something I thought I wanted. We tried, we built things, slowly, step by step, without a grand plan, and... it works out very well!

I wouldn't advise to go alone though: talk to your former colleagues, friends, ... find some people to work with! Apart from that, go for it, try!
Businesses aren't spared the benefits generated by their employees.

Employees are a benefit, not a cost. The fact employees have requirements of their own is something that happens in organisations run by humans for humans.

If you think employees are a cost, you're doing business wrong - and doing humanity wrong too.

This really comes down to a political issue - who is business for? In capitalist economies, business exists primarily to make money for shareholders and management.

The belief that this can excuse all kinds of incredibly inhumane behaviours is far more of a problem than the fact that women get pregnant and need time off.

Now - you can argue there is huge inconvenience in not having someone turn up to work for a while. From one point of view, it's certainly not ideal.

But a mature business should be able to deal with all kinds of challenges, including human issues, technical issues, political issues, and financial issues.

Being amazed and blindsided by a pregnancy, or even multiple pregnancies, suggests poor planning and a brittle culture. It's not evidence of freebooting capitalism, so much as of not being very good at management.

> groovys's safe navigation operator a?.getB()?.getC()

Apache Groovy also has shortcut property syntax so you can write `a?.b?.c` to get the same effect. Of course, all the syntactic sugar mixed together becomes quite confusing quite quickly. Some Groovers want to write the `?` once only and have it ripple through so you'd only need write `a?.b.c` in Groovy 3. But then, what if you actually want an NPE if `getB()` works but `getC()` doesn't? Perhaps `a?.b¿.c` would do the trick!

I interacted a bit with the OWASP community a few years ago, and it seemed to me the O on OWASP is not really there. It feels like the community is made of a few guys, the typical stereotype pentester: a bit arrogant, and difficult to communicate with when you have different views.

That there isn't much/anything outside of rationality, so what you should be doing, is get better at being rational / make more rational decisions. This applies to interaction with other people (what kind of interactions should you have), what you should be doing or not doing, etc. I feel there are many (silly/unreasonable/invalid) reasons why people oppose to being more rational. One could be thinking that being too rational is inhumane or that they "just don't care". Both cases should be alarming to oneself.

Edit: What I'm trying to say is that: 1) If you look back, what you appraise are the well-thought decisions you made in most cases; 2) What's between these well-thought decisions are often more clutter than there should be, and in the end you end up making the rational decision anyway. You're just often postponing it; 3) Being rational is not often an energy intensive decision, but there are other factors (faults that are in the field of your general rational decision making, fears/lack of tuning your machinery/proneness to procrastination etc.); 4) All of these previous faults fall into the category of self-conscious behavior / betterment of your self-consciousness, which both are in the field of rationality... what's the core realization/ignition for the beginning of this process? Maybe it's that there's not much outside of rationality, and that "all you are" is a direct result of your rationality.

Comparative advantage is the fundamental principal of economics. It is not a myth.
Unfortunately most papers (that I have been involved with at least) have very specific size requirements and limits. Spending that much space on sharing the files is not something that can happen. Anything more than "[things] are available online at [URL]" is just going to take up too much space. (Although, from now on I might try to include two URLs)

Besides, if / when GitHub ever shuts down, you know people will end up going through and cloning every repo on the system and archiving them at some similar url. So everyone can just visit it at notgithub.com/user/repo instead.

Now, I agree that something like that would be awesome. I don't think its that easy to do. Its just not practical. GitHub / Lab are easy you just toggle a switch to make a repo public after the paper has been published, but other services may not be as easy. Especially trying to set up university urls, and keeping them private until after publication. For tech savvy people it might be fine, but not for all.

Maybe it would be better if universities either hosted their own git repos, or even banded together and hosted something as a educational service? Rather than a for profit entity being where it is stored.

The contact info for any author involved with the paper is going to be right there at the beginning of the paper. So IF something were to ever happen to the one link, contact is not going to be hard. Yes, there are risks, but it still gets the job done for the time being.

Competition will bring the price down.
Now items will be completely assembled in China before they are imported. This will just shift even more production to China.
Perhaps the use-case is "consensus". I.e., when you have a 66-way merge and 50 of those say "x=0;" and 16 of those say "x=1;", then it can pick the one with the most consensus, i.e. "x=0;". Or something like that ...

EDIT: of course using a special flag, otherwise indeed it could lead to problems.
Third time I post this: my partner's company is a small startup of ~12 people and 7 of their women employees became pregnant and had babies while working for them. One of them was a very important manager, who gave birth to twins and came back within a month. The company is doing just fine, thank you.

If a startup dies because it's hiring human beings, it should maybe start to pivot into employing dogs? Or robots, of course.

If git did that automatically, without reporting a merge conflict, that would be a disaster.

The nature of the crypto technological revolution
Is that really equalized? Poor people are much more severely impacted by a loss of their license than rich people. Outside cities, for example, your driver's license is pretty intimately connected to your livelihood. I imagine this is why so many people get busted for driving with a suspended or no license. They have to get to work reliably and at a specific time, or they don't get paid. They have to pick up and drop off their kids.

A rich man can just get a driver, take an Uber, etc., and is not likely to be fired for being late, assuming he works.
Warning shots and attempts at non-lethal injuries escalate the encounter and are practically impossible under stress. That only works in Western movies.
If they don't care about driving and they were being a shit driver then didn't the law also work? either they are forced to drive like less of an idiot or they don't drive... I don't really care if they get a professional driver - good, less dead people on the road.
So?

What is stopping someone who loses their license from just driving anyway? They've already shown not to give a shit, so they'll continue driving without a license.

My dad lost his license many years ago and never stopped driving. He gets arrested once in a while, doesn't stop him.
