It amazes me how popular Slack is. Terrible performance, constant interruptions, horrible threads.

Here's an exercise. You and your coworker discussed plans for a project in a large channel 3 weeks ago. You need to get all that information and give it to someone else. How do you do it? You can't. It will be interspersed with a bunch of other nonsense from other people and isn't grouped or organized in any sane manner.

This whole "chat" in workplace thing does nothing to actually get work done.

Well, you know what they say: If you aren't paying for it, you aren't the customer, you're the product.
> On the recurrent laryngeal nerve in mammals: A direct route to the larynx already exists through the superior laryngeal nerve. A second path provides redundancy if one is damaged (e.g. by disease or developmental defect)
> The nerve innervates the deep cardiac plexus at the bottom, and the esophagus and trachea on its way to the larynx. So the path needs to be run anyway, leaving little advantage to another route.

So the main route between NY and Philly will loop through Chicago. We will build a secondary direct route between NY and philly, but it'll only allow access to certain suburbs not the entire city [1].

This route will connect NY and Chicago on its way there, and NY and philly on the way back.
I certainly don't see any advantage to any other route. not even if I were omnipotent and omniscient could I do that.

>during development the recurrent [....] own is better design than if it were not.

During the building of the NY-Philly-throughChicago route, we will be bringing life and jobs to the local communities, so this is of course GOOD DESIGN.

Newsletters in Outlook: How to Send Responsive HTML Employee Emails from Outlook
I would definitely use RelaxNG for specifying schemas instead of XSD - it's simpler both to read and write in every case I've tried, and the resulting schema is smaller as well, often by a lot.

<element name="addressBook">
<zeroOrMore>
<element name="card">
<attribute name="name">
<text/>
</attribute>
<attribute name="email">
<text/>
</attribute>
</element>
</zeroOrMore>
</element>

http://www.relaxng.org/tutorial-20011203.html

Plus there's a non-XML "compressed" version as well:

element addressBook {
element card {
element name { text },
element email { text }
}+
}

But I agree that XML like you posted is nasty, it's no harder to write

<parameter name="ApplicationName">WhizBang</parameter>

instead if you need generic parameters, or

<ApplicationName>WhizBang</ApplicationName>

if not.

>to favor face to face communication where possible. We have peopl hipchat each other sometimes literally sitting across the desk from each other

I understand your preference for face-to-face but one reason some prefer text chat is to minimize the ambient noise level in the office so as to not disturb others.

For me, one problem with face-to-face (and voice calls) is I often end up having to take notes and transcribe what the person is saying to me. Instead, if you just send me a text chat or email, it saves me the step of being your secretary to type in what you just told me.

I think the fact that we have to "imagine" why an intelligent designer would have designed something a certain way brings this idea out of the realm of natural science.

If we assume there is a supernatural force behind everything, then we might as well not do experiments anymore because any result we get might have a wildly uncontrollable variable that is impossible to account for.

Right, but then wouldn't every API that has documentation also necessarily be a protocol (that might only be implemented by one provider?) If the idea is that you could switch to a different provider if you were using a protocol instead of an API, that only helps you if there is more than one provider of a protocol. In this case, someone else could take the public API docs and implement their own service that responds to the same API.
Legally, absolutely. If the US declared war on all of Europe tomorrow, there's no meaningful question what Google would do.

... but practically and on the ground, the Google employee base is large and international enough that there may very well be employees with friends or relatives in US military hot-zones where the US has not successfully demonstrated sufficient care about civilian casualties. Their desire to only work for the company in relatively peaceful times is pretty understandable.

Nobody wants to wake up one morning and realize they're an IBM employee in 1940.
If you own a single resource with co owners its probably a security. Might was well just open a company.
"Why you seem to think Maven will target civilians is beyond me"

Because it's for the US military. They have an unbelievably shitty track record in not hitting civilians. It was shitty under Obama, and it's gotten even shittier under Trump. And the issue isn't the ability to target better; it's that the military simply does not care.

I've been maybe not the last but one of the last handful quite a few times. If you don't believe in the company or don't like working with the people there, there's no reason to stay.

If you like being there, and you think it could work, I'd say to look for three things:

First, think about if there is a "turning point" moment that you're working toward. E.g. are you close to shipping your alpha, is there a big show coming up that could realistically generate a lot of publicity, etc? There's always some deadline or artificial milestone but is there a real one that people are actively working towards and isn't just wishful thinking? Or is everything just plodding along waiting for a big break to just happen?

Secondly, do you have a few customers (or testers) that are very passionate about your product? You don't need a lot of them, but if there is one or two people that really love the product that's a good sign that it's a real thing.

Third, how has the company or CEO handled bad news in the past? Was it a surprise or did they let everyone know it was coming and try to prepare together. If they're not being honest about their trajectory and their funding it can be a pretty unpleasant situation, but if everyone is working together to right the ship it can be a positive and bonding moment.

Finally, I would say to make sure you set the ground rules with your manager or CEO about payment. e.g. "I really want to see this company succeed and I will do everything I can to make it happen, but I have my own financial obligations, so I won't be able to come in if I haven't been paid yet for the previous pay period." etc. It's extremely common for people to go weeks or months unpaid and then the company goes dark suddenly and you're left without recourse. This is not even due to shady people or fraud, it can be good, well intentioned folks that think they have a solid line on more funding that falls through, or just aren't tracking finances carefully enough.
"Probably refers to"? That you don't know what "secure" refers to is itself a problem. But more problematic is anyone's defense of Google Chrome's architecture while overlooking that that architecture is implemented with secret software which you aren't allowed to vet, alter, or share with others (parts of software freedom).

This proprietary software apparently allowed for sending Google every URL a Chrome user types in (http://www.favbrowser.com/google-chrome-spyware-confirmed/) and making it easy for extensions to spy on Chrome users (https://labs.detectify.com/2015/07/28/how-i-disabled-your-ch...) which many Chrome extensions apparently do, or activating a Chrome user's microphone and sending the captured data to Google (https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2015/06/google-ch...). Hardly behavior users are likely to call "secure" because such behavior does not look out for the security of its users, but instead securing access to Chrome user's data.

I just learned that hay and straw are different things. Thanks!
I disagree. The problem is with the difference between a source and a sink not being represented in the type system. With that difference represented properly, variance becomes very simple. A source is covariant, a sink is contravariant and something that is both a source and a sink is invariant. That is slightly harder for the language designer but much easier for the user.
> Warrant means an audit trail and coordination with a prosecutor and the judiciary.

But depending on the workload of these people, this can also mean a whole lot of back-log and result in hasty decision making.

Germany has a similar trend where judges are supposed to issue warrants for pretty much everything, like searching your house.

The problem in actual practice with this is that German judges are already overloaded with all kinds of work, which means they have on average around 3 minutes to process a search-warrant request, that time also includes writing the explanation for why it was denied if it should be denied.

3 minutes isn't a lot of time and getting it wrong can have pretty hefty consequences for the wrongly accused because these days it's often routine to confiscate all the IT hardware and any data media they find.

If you are somebody who's self-employed and working in IT, such a search could literally be the end of your business, because it will be years (and many lawyer fees) before you get your stuff back, even if it turns out you never did anything wrong.
> While nobody likes excessive animation, it is very important to let the user know their input was received. It's why the cursor changes on mouseover. It's how you know if the app is crashed, or merely processing something you requested.

I said, "Of course, if an animation is playing while something else is happening, that is acceptable." Yes, play an animation while actual work is happening. That provides the feedback you are describing, which is useful if and when the application cannot respond to user input immediately.

However, my point was that many applications, due to laziness of designers and/or programmers, play an animation and then begin to execute the work requested. The facile argument made by these designers is that the animation is relatively brief—say 300ms—so it's not a "big deal." But I contend that delaying the initiation of requested execution is disrespecting the user's time, regardless of how long the delay is.

To reiterate: beginning the work effort and then concurrently playing an animation is good and should be encouraged. Playing an animation to completion and then beginning the work effort is bad and should be avoided.

The theoretical ideal is to respond in 0ms. If the work takes 50ms, it's best to start the work immediately then start playing an interruptible animation. The user may see a couple frames of the animation. Far worse to play a 300ms animation to completion, then start the 50ms of work.

> I've seen a million times in UX testing where ordinary people go click... wait... click click click click click because they didn't receive any feedback to an action.

Agreed! While doing lengthy operations, play an animation and disable the button. But don't delay beginning the work until after the animation completes, even if that animation is only 300ms.

> In the real world, nothing is ever "full stop." You should purge that phrase from your lexicon.

I said "Disrespecting the user's time is disrespecting the user, full stop."

I stand by the decisiveness of that statement. In my opinion, disrespecting the user's time is equivalent to disrespecting the user. I will retain the phrase in my lexicon, thank you.

There should be another ruling. 3 letter agencies should also need a warrant to track cell phones too.

Basically, this ruling means nothing in the grand scheme of things. We are being tracked without our permission & the police can probably get as much info from the US government agencies by just asking for it.
That's one possible explanation.

A more charitable, and frankly, reasonable explanation would be that Gorsuch places high priority on limiting government power through to take private property and thinks of many problems through that lens. That's a view he expressed at oral argument in this case[0], in other privacy-related cases [1][2], and in cases in other contexts[3][4].

Virtually all non-unanimous supreme court decisions are ultimately trade-offs between conflicting rights and values. Congress's power to regulate drugs vs a citizen's right to use drugs in religious ceremonies (Smith). The documentary-maker's right to free speech vs the population's right to ensure free and fair elections by limiting corporate spending on elections (Citizens United). A citizen's right not to be searched for incriminating evidence without a warrant vs. a police officer's need to prevent destruction of evidence and ensure their own safety (Robinson).

Different justices place different weight on different rights. Kennedy is a famously protective of free speech, so whenever Free Speech is implicated, he tends to side on the defense of it. Alito places a lot of value in ensuring police have workable rules that can be applied in the field. Those priorities determine where they land on tough issues and how they think issues should be resolved.

I think there's a lot of evidence to suggest Gorsuch cares about protecting property rights and that idea is entirely consistent with his reasoning here (without his harboring a secret anti-Roe agenda).

I agree (having only read the article, not the study) - I think the overall premise that improvement in a skill is incompatible with ego reduction is simplistic. You can absolutely improve on something overall while perhaps regressing on some small part (Simpson's Paradox). It's like saying that no-one can be truly humble if they believe (but not brag!) they're more humble than average - they're probably just right about that and can still be an unassuming person all around.

> The Supreme Court has stated multiple times that being on US soil without proper documentation is not a crime

Being is not. Crossing the border not via border control is.

> but international treaties (to which the US is party) make it quite clear that criminal prosecution of asylum seekers and refugees is both illegal and inhumane

We are not discussing what is humane according to some international treaty, we are discussing what is the US law and whether ICE has any power to change it. US law is illegal border crossing is a crime and ICE must enforce it.

> ICE has a lot of leeway in how it carries out its mostly administrative duties

It does. Changing the law about what is criminal and what is not is not part of it. It can, if directed by the head of the executive, refuse to uphold the law and prosecute behavior which is criminal by law, but that won't change the fact it is criminal - it'd be just criminal behavior that is not prosecuted. They way to make it not criminal is to change the law that makes it criminal. And, also, they can not just decide something is criminal and start prosecuting it without the law already having it as a crime - it's just not in their powers.

> Contrary to popular belief ICE are not police

Whose popular belief? ICE is a separate law enforcement agency, just as FBI, DEA, CBP or Secret Service are. The fact that they are not police does not change their powers as an executive agency.

> There's a big difference, for example, whether ICE chooses to pre-emptively detain individuals awaiting processing in Immigration Court or it lets people show up on their own.

There is, but it doesn't change anything about criminality.

I'm currently discussing with glibc maintainers on the best approach to integrate this into the Linux userspace ecosystem. So far, discussions aim into a direction where glibc would own the __rseq_abi TLS symbol, and register it for every thread. I can then maintain a rseq library which consists of helper header files that contain the common rseq operations for all supported architectures.

I am concerned about providing a librseq that handles rseq registration for early adopters though, because I don't want projects to eventually end up conflicting with future glibc versions. Once we settled how glibc will expose the symbol and register it, I will try to provide a helper library which exposes this symbol and allow performing explicit rseq registration in a way that won't conflict with future glibc versions.
First of all... being a "Freelancer" is about acting like a business, and conducting yourself efficiently to earn profit.

If you are whining about 1 of your customers (clients, whatever you wish to call them), then you are wasting valuable time in streamlining your operations and winning new customers.

This is victimhood culture at its classiest.

Where we lived in a communist regime, we were not allowed to pick our customers nor decide what we wanted for our work.

Academic immigrants these days are also potentially undercutting/warping expectations about labor in academic labs. 36k (for grad students) or 50k (for postdocs) are hardly acceptable salaries from an American perspective, but to folks from India and China those salaries are fortunes relatively speaking. To Indians/Chinese a 70 hour work week for that money might be worth it.

Contrast this to past academic immigration in the 40s that you refer to, where immigrants were from countries with similar sensibilities and levels of development (primarily German Jews).

I don't think that this necessarily invalidates your points, but it's worth pointing out that there are economic consequences when larger slices of the PhD candidates out there are from developing nations instead of other developed nations.

If the market assumes "coins are moving" to be equivalent with "coins are being sold", then the market is stupid.

The coins could have been moved around for other reasons than to sell them. The coins could also have been sold at certain price at a certain time, but with a contract that says it won't be moved until a time in the future.

The market did not react to coins being sold. It reacted to coins being moved and it made certain assumptions.

As far as I can see, the trustee has done everything correct regarding the sale (not flooding the market). It's just the market that is so volatile that it reacts to every tiny thing that happens.
