Not millenia. The oldest novel that we still read is The Tale of Genji, written in 1010, followed by Romance of the Three Kingdoms, followed by Don Quixote. That's three still-relevant novels from 1010 to 1605. There are assuredly dozens to hundreds of novels written in that time period. Three are still relevant today.

Whereas many ancient Greek and Roman plays are still performed today, right alongside Shakespeare. The play is simply a more durable form of literature.

> Maybe the stream kept them from ending their life.

Did you not answer your own question? As someone with a lot of social anxiety (it's hard for me to even comment in forums/here) Twitch streams make it feel like I'm getting human interaction. But it's mainly a distraction from the feeling of loneliness, obviously. Hopefully it gives these people the time they need to deal with their social anxiety/depression rather than progressing further down the spiral.

What the software industry calls an "A/B test" is what scientists call a "randomized controlled trial",* and it's generally considered to be the best type of experiment you can do.

The fact that people routinely screw up their experiments in the ways you list and others isn't an indictment of the A/B test methodology.

* Well actually the term gets used to mean a lot of things but insofar as you can give it a meaningful definition, it means randomized controlled trial.

People who bought homes now will pay fewer taxes than the people buying 20 years later.

Very cool configuration.

I attempted something similar to this in a 20U cabinet some time back. The biggest issue is the fan noise that 1U form factor servers and network gear produce, with their rather high RPMs. One can hear the noise across the other side of the house.

We've since switched to fanless network gear and ATX form factor servers with large diameter fans to keep the family happy. It definitely doesn't look as nice, though.

I'm not sure quite what you're getting at. I actually agree with you, I'm one of those who does not like imperative code. I think it's completely counterintuitive.

I was making an effort to be unbias, by making clear the "good attributes" of each side.

I wasn't at all trying to make that harsh of a distiction. In fact I was trying to point out the ridiculousness of it. What I was trying to point out with irony, I should have said clearly what my opinion is:

If you're too concerned with speed, and you optimize early, I think your code style is less than ideal. Essentially your code is messed up to the point that it's too difficult to go back to make optimizations if necessary.

I think the reason functional programmer's don't talk about optimization as much is because they don't need to. It's a completely different paradigm.

So much like politics, if you only listen to one side, you're going to get messed up ideas of the way the world works.

I hope this offers a better explanation

That function was an atrocity but you're taking things a bit too far.

There are occasions where a longer method makes things more readable.

And "a method should not even take on boolean ever"? So you split that method into two methods, and then every call site needs to have a conditional check.
Or you hide that under a method that checks and calls your 2 methods. That new method, takes a boolean. Oh...
> It is not enough to compare raw numbers, since the cost of living is so different. Healthcare is a famous example.

Yes, but this has the opposite effect from what you'd expect. The US has higher disposable income, both per capita and at the median, than Europe does. That means that, even accounting for the greater cost of healthcare in the US, households end up with greater purchasing power.

That's true across the country, but if you're comparing tech jobs, the effect is even more pronounced, because most tech companies provide health plans that ultimately are comparable (in terms of out-of-pocket expenses) to coverage in most of Europe. So you end up with significantly higher salaries[0], much lower taxes, and comparable health benefits.

As you point out, there may be other reasons that someone might not want to move (or be able to move), but there's no ignoring that salaries, disposable income, and purchasing power are dramatically higher in the US.

I'm not disagreeing with you there, the term "accessible" has a wide range. But it would be inappropriate for a building to have some units with e.g. steps and some without. I'm not sure what you been by wheelchair bars, but if you mean handle bars my building accommodates those through a reasonable accommodation request although I have lived in buildings before which had them in every unit.

You are missing part of the point of the article. Don't blame the tech company or the sports owner for getting these concessions. Business owners are always going to act in their own best interest. Individual people do the same thing. Lots of people who live along the Washington/Oregon border make all their big purchases in Oregon because of the lack of state sales tax. I don't see anything morally wrong with doing that. They are just responding to economic incentives. Instead blame the politicians for setting up this perverse game of incentives in the first place. This article is trying to educate politicians (and the general population) of a better way to accomplish the same goals.

Well, as you say, the degree to which academic publishing is open is currently a matter of some debate. There have been moves, perhaps in some disciplines more than others so far, towards a more explicitly open-access publishing culture at the expense of the journal publishers whose contribution is also debatable these days, but there's a long way to go.

What I can say is that as someone who sometimes has an element of research as part of his work for industrial clients, a lot of the useful research material I've read recently has come out of industrial research labs, so they certainly do produce some good work, whatever is also coming out of academia.

Another relevant data point: the only software patents that have actually stopped me doing something recently (which I'd come up with entirely independently, BTW) were granted to major US universities prior to their researchers publishing papers.

A democracy is rule by the people. We're living in the era of a government by the corporations, for the corporations.

I honestly cannot understand how companies have any representation or access to politicians.

Lobbying should be entirely illegal because we are on track to making Idiocracy a reality.
Bayes rule is just:

- The problems generally get worse when not mentally alert.
- The following things help with being mentally alert:
- Good sleep
- Stimulents
- caffeine
- Vyvance
- Adderall
- Keeping a healthy body weight (obesity --> poor sleep)
- Daily vigorous exercise

- I've found Vyvance to be all upside with no downside

- I can supplement with Adderall as needed, but it has downside:
- Easy to hyper-focus on the wrong task
- Can cause insomnia many hours later
- Can make me grouchy during wear-off
- Can make me seem emotionally flat to others

Hope this is useful.

I wasn't trying to say that bringing in large businesses is a quick payoff with no costs, but rather offering a possible explanation as to why we typically see cities going after large businesses. Should have made that clear.

There is absolutely a cost associated with either option. There is absolutely a payoff period in years or decades with either option.

However, I do think it's easier to get a single company to say "yes", than it is to build an ecosystem; particularly in the context of an elected official's term in office.

You're right, it is hard. Here's one idea they could try, which I just pulled out of my ass over 10 minutes, so it may be very stupid.

Term-defined performance goals. Before elections begin, each citizen can define a list of priorities, metrics, and multipliers of expected performance. These are used in a function to calculate a number that determines whether an elected official is performing according to the standards of the citizens.

These "expectations" are collected, anonymized, and split up into groups of similar expectations. A candidate for office can select to align themselves to a specific group of expectations, or define their own and run on that as a platform. Either way they're going to have to live up to that set of expectations. Citizens vote for the candidate they feel best represents those expectations. At this point we're just "hoping" they come through on their promises; there's no guarantees.

Once a candidate wins and begins their term, their performance is continually reviewed by the function. If a candidate's performance during their term drops below 50%, a performance review can be ordered, and more specific short term goals can be drawn up to see if they can rise to meet them. If their performance drops below 25%, a suggestion is automatically flagged to inform citizens they should vote this rep out at the next election cycle.

The end results should be that citizens can more effectively inform representatives of what they want, they can track the progress of these representatives, and stay informed so that at the next election cycle they aren't just re-voting for the incumbent even if the incumbent didn't live up to expectations. In addition, a citizen no longer needs to vote according to a party; they simply define their personal expectations for government, and "parties" may naturally form according to real issues, rather than rhetoric, tradition, etc.

Mozilla also has a good track record of keeping out malicious extensions, something that cannot be said about Chrome Web Store (a recent example).

> That's not how options work

Repeatedly purchasing options to take tail risks is a bad strategy. (Repeatedly purchasing options to negate a tail risk you already have, on the other hand, could be smart. Or it might mean you have a great options salesman.)

For the bet to pay off, it has to happen on schedule. With options relating to something like Bitcoin, moreover, there is the additional risk that catastrophic failure wipes out the exchanges, leaving you in years of litigation enforcing your contracts.

Whenever I see solutions like this I think back to an org I worked at where a high-visibility day-long database outage gained upper level management attention. The response, after the managers talked to our vendor (IBM), was to re-architect everything to use HACMP clusters for all of our production databases company-wide.

That was followed by a couple years of 100+ hour/year cumulative outages due to HACMP stability issues, and an environment that everyone was deathly afraid to touch.

The hardcore network engineer in me appreciates the detail in these kinds of solutions, but these days the practical side of me is satisfied with usability and maintainability of SPOF cable access with a manual failover to mobile hotspot on the rare occasions that drops offline.

Exactly. Full submersion seems to add a lot of complication for little gain over just submersing your heat exchangers. I guess you can avoid some moving parts (and heat generation) by letting wave action circulate your cooling fluid, but that's a small fraction of the energy needed to run a datacenter.

The tradeoff is the need for watertight seals all around your datacenter (including the doors and cable access), dealing with corrosion over a larger surface area, accessibility problems, dealing with marine life (barnacles!), anchoring it against storms, environmental impact, and so on.

IMHO it is a silly idea and won't prove practical in the long run.
Language and skill demand for technical jobs: June 2018
> Sugar obviously does not require some automatic language translation

What makes you say that? I would say it's crucial. Syntactic sugar is anything where we can say "Code of the form 'foo x y z...' is defined as 'bar x y z...'" where both forms are valid in the same language. Such a definition, by its very nature, gives us an automatic translation (look for anything of the first form, replace it with the second).

> It just means that in all cases a human can rewrite it without the new syntax and get the same semantics.

Yet that's so general as to be worthless. I'm a human and I've rewritten Java programs in PHP, but that doesn't make Java "syntactic sugar" for PHP.
