I think mind-maps fit into that category, although I think /u/motohagiography is referring to something more specific than that.
I can vouch for their MapTiler Engine product. I consulted with a company that used it to create map tiles of mosaicked images captured by drones. MapTiler Engine worked great. Not cheap, but in our eyes, it definitely was worth the price. Thumbs up for MapTiler.
This is an interesting thought to me: what if human life were designed this way more broadly?
So what do you do then?
I'm sincere, if that's what you are asking. I have a postgrad in architectural history and theory, spent 5 years in architecture school, so I guess the answer to your question is probably "yes".

The idea that functional items can be designed in a way that avoids ephemeral styling or fashions (think of the annual model changes in the US car industry of the 50s) is a key modernist principle. Whether it's actually possible to draw that distinction and maintain it in practice is a totally different question.

> Unions prevent those businesses from being able to maintain competitive pricing in global markets due to labor costs, so those obligations eventually put the company out of business or force it to move operations - normally out of sheer survival since other companies in the space will be doing the same.

Well this is false on a number of levels but is a common argument - "if you're the one doing all the work and creating all the wealth, don't organize with the other workers to keep more of the wealth you create, or the soi distant 'job
creator' heirs expropriating your surplus labor time might send you into poverty".

Of course no one ever tells the heirs who expropriate profits from these companies that they should shirk in fear in organizing together for their class interests.

You make a number of discordant points. If we are in an economic system, the fourth one in the past few millennia, where "the growth phase is over", then clearly it is also the beginning of the end of the fourth economic system, and the birth of the fifth system which was born in the Paris Commune is coming.

Pensions are dying as are other old age moneys - it is under attack, and organized workers are what keeps it alive.

Companies don't have a problem with competitive pricing. They have a problem with below-desired profits. The business press says this. See the recent (non-union) Facebook drop.

"Out of business or move"...GM was organized in 1936. Larry Page's grandfather helped do that. In fact Page has held up the weapon his grandfather carried during a strike. The grandfather then made enough to send his son to college. And the son's son formed Google. Maybe GM profits fell at some point, but the family had already moved on.

Compare to the completely unregulated textile mills in the Carolinas. No unions, yet the plants still closed down and left the country. Low paid grandchildren with no college education now see the big employer in town shutter up and they are out of luck.

Thanks, I would prefer the former case.

As far as understanding international capital flows and cycles, Karl Marx spoke about that a century and as half ago and spoke about overproduction, recessions, falling profits, continuing income inequality etc. Not in a liberal social democrat way, but in a way that showed the system would eventually self-destruct as feudalism in Europe had, or how the Roman Empire and it's slave latifundias did, or as hunter-gatherer bands had on the face of the agricultural Sumerian slave empires.

The contradictions and self-destructiveness Marx pointed out are still happening - one example being the 1999 Glass-Steagall bank deregulation followed 9 years later by the "too big to fail" taxpayer TARP bailout.

It's not hypocrisy - it's contradiction. It's cognitive dissonance which will eventually rent things apart - which has been renting things apart.

As a worker creating wealth, I'll take my own council and organize together with my fellow workers as opposed to prostrating myself before the parasitical heirs expropriating my surplus labor time for scraps of food.
> For the actually-destructive git commands like checkout and reset, another tool that I'd highly recommend is a "local history" feature in your editor.

Amen. Both vim and emacs do this by default, too. They keep all changes under a tree, so you can even undo your undos.

Another thing that's saved me from destructive changes is the terminal scrollback buffer, which typically represents a timeline of my work. I have a habit of looking at `git diff` frequently. If I lose any of those because of an accidental `y` in `git checkout -p`, I can just execute `git apply` copy the hunks that I want (with the initial file diff header) and paste them in the same terminal, then Ctrl-D to finish.
Javascript JITs specialize for integers already. I don't know if Ryū does specifically though.
Part of it is just politics/culture, I imagine. Unions are mainstream in Germany, so German unions' positions on various issues are also mainstream. From what I hear unions' in the US have more fringe positions.

Lisa Black, the state police DNA analyst who tested the shooter’s hat, wasn’t called to testify. Instead, the two sides presented a stipulation, outlining what they agreed Black would have said.

The stipulation said nothing of how Black had excluded Cooper as the source of the DNA found on the hat’s sweatband. Instead, it said: “The expert opinion of Lisa Black is that neither Keith D. Cooper nor any other person can be eliminated as having possibly worn the hat.”

That's completely ridiculous. Was Smeeton being bribed?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famine_in_India hints that British inaction exacerbated famine but I don't see details to indicate famine was engineered for ethnic cleansing.

I'm not disagreeing, it's the first I've heard of it really.

There's plenty there to suggest capitalism was working as intended... extracting all the wealth created by others labour, leaving too little for good infrastructure.
I think you make a big mistake in using the word 'inflated'. The joy of doing something is configured in our brains, and we enjoy that. Science has shown that we like and are willing to pay more for things merely on the brand.

Its like saying that all kisses are the same, its inflated that you want it from a specific person!
They're removing East Saskatchewan? That was my favourite nonsense time zone. They're right that it should have been "West Saskatchewan", but I suppose Saskatchewan on its own is enough for the province outside Lloydminster, and Lloydminster uses Alberta (Mountain) time anyways which makes a second Saskatchewan timezones redundant (for now).
Ah. Yes. Right. But these aren’t Common Lisps. But you’ve indirectly brought up another useful point, to wit, the general Lisp paradigm is so useful that language designers regularly approximate it when building new platforms. (Clojure is another.)
Yes, exactly. They already do, unless they can afford it or have purchased a home.

The LA Times hit piece on this issue went so far as to dig up random traffic incidents involving these vehicles. If there were significant fatal accidents before 1999 - especially if the fault lay with the vehicles' design, they would have dug them up. So it's safe to assume there were none.

Your numbers on person hours for us drivers is far off. Keep in mind that a total of about 3.2 trillion miles are driven per year. 199.685 trillion person hours would give an average base rate of travel of 0.016 miles per hour. Obviously you need to multiply that by the average number of occupants per vehicle, but even if you say there are 10 occupants you're looking at 0.16 miles per hour on average so it looks like you missed some decimal points.

Your explodo example is not really reasonable. We know here for a fact that these things have transported tens of millions of people. And they've also been in operation for millions of hours. There's way more than enough of a sample for lots of things to have gone wrong. Yet of all the incidents that have happened in these millions of hours, and the likely 40,000,000+ people that have used these vehicles, we only had 2 severe accidents - both caused by extreme human incompetence. So you're left with two choices, neither of which I expect you'd really like:

- Accidents practically never happen.

- Accidents do happen at a normal frequency, but in nearly all cases the outcome is completely safe.

It's from the show. At that point in the show, the main company in the show had packaged their compression technology into a rack mountable device, and part of their service agreement with customers was a requirement for 24 hour support. The guy in the photo with the pony tail is a datacenter employee who is showing the main cast where their support personnel will have to sit. It's basically a waste of time and space to have someone at that desk 24/7, but it is part of the contract that their customers required.

Good luck. I'm more grumpy than many about people just reinventing their own half-assed wheels rather than learning how existing tools work, but it's not feasible to reverse.

Outside of NYC, the US has basically no daily tabloids.

Most people in the US that were reading any daily news were probably reading the dominant local newspaper or one of the latter reputable metropolitan or national papers, because that covers pretty much all the daily written news outlets they would have had access to.

Scientific research papers are meant to be one of the many ways to share what has been done and found, including thought process at the high level. There are many other ways and opportunities, such as seminars, conferences, and just plain talks over the phone, etc., for people in a field to share a lot more details. I am not sure a "yes" or "no" answer to the question is that relevant.
As far as I can tell the solution he offers is merely to put the Discussion section of the paper first, and go logically from there. I don't see how this really helps. I write lots of scientific papers. You don't read scientific papers to understand how the science was conducted as a first goal, usually - you want the results that make the paper worth writing in the first place. You read the abstract and conclusions first, and then decide whether the rest of the paper is worth reading.
What point are you trying to make to me?
To be fair, when the IC bought their own AWS cloud, Oracle had just unveiled their Bare Metal Compute product. Only in the last year or two have they begin to offer virtualized resources in their cloud. AFAIK, the virtualized offering runs on top of their BMC foundation and the product has been renamed to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

One can do that, but most Lisp programmers value the direct "source code is data" nature of Lisp - using s-expressions.

Alternative notations were originally planned for Lisp when it was designed - some books were published using it, but for actual programming it wasn't used too much - especially since most implementations actually a) didn't support it or b) had s-expressions as a default/internally.

Then several attempts to modernize Lisp with a different syntax mostly failed to get traction or failed big (like the Lisp 2 effort).

Then some efforts failed to provide more than one syntax and also failed to appeal to people (Dylan).

What we saw is a bunch of languages derived from Lisp with different syntax (ML, Logo, ...) and a bunch of Lisps for mathematics with different syntax (Reduce, Macsyma, ...).

But the core Lisp programmers were never willing to give up the s-expression-based syntax. It has some clear advantages when manipulating code, especially in interactive programming.
UHF does not have an algorithm behind it recommending you content. No one goes to YouTube because they are interested in fake news, they go with the intention of being informed but watch a video with false content in it. Then YouTube's algorithms show them more and more fake content in an attempt to keep them watching.
Nope.

Ublock & umatrix still don't block autoplaying videos. You should still use NoScript.

I liked the discussion of how Chinese symbols remain readable even when pronunciation shifts, while phonetic alphabets become unclear -- helping Chinese culture be more rooted in the past.
The point in being ahead of China is that MAD is the upper bound, but there is still a lot of destructive room to grow between current capabilities and nuclear apocalypse. If a country has nukes but a weak conventional military then you can be sure that the world will do everything it can to control your nukes, and even then the weaker country knows that if it uses nukes, it'll be wiped off the Earth in retaliation.

A good example country is North Korea; they have nuclear weapons, but there conventional military is so weak compared to their neighbors that the only thing nukes get them is food aid.

If you have 10 min of free time, give it a watch.

It's how everyone specializing in government contracting works, and (except for who they get in bed with), basically the same in enterprise contracting more generally.

IBM, HP, and even Microsoft, among cloud vendors, are all experienced in this game, even if Amazon and Google might be less so. (Though both have five at least some, and aren't neophytes.)
Moreover, while one can say that all of these differences are not that important, there're clear differences in the language: Elixir has metaprogramming, you can easily achieve a lot of stuff in the compile time via macros, go lacks generics and good versioning and interface for plugins most probably would have needed to be written using reflections. Elixir looks just way more modern.

The key idea here is to write automated tests that check that the core concepts introspected from a codebase are referenced in the documentation.

It requires keeping the documentation in the same repository as the code, which I think is a great pattern: it means you can craft single commits that incorporate the code change, the unit tests and the supporting documentation. And if you implement documentation unit tests your code review CI system can help enforce that for you.
Yes, but the server that gets and shares those updates need contain no PII.

I do not trust Microsoft. And so, when I need to use Windows 10, I do it in a very careful way. I start with an anonymously obtained installer. I install and update in a VM, with Internet connectivity through a nested VPN chain. Then I clone the VM, and work in the clone, with *.microsoft.com blocked.

When necessary, I update another fresh clone. Then I clone that, and securely transfer files from the first clone. That way, Microsoft never sees anything except for a clean install, and has no PII to track.

When I think about LISP and parens it just feels redundant if you’re gonna use indentation anyway.

Parens are only useful if everything is on a single line. With new lines and indentation, things can become a lot cleaner like python style.

I strongly believe python got so popular because of its very simple to read, almost pseudo-code like syntax that anyone could learn.

List had great ideas, everything is a list, but dealing with parens hell makes me think it could be a lot more elegant.

I find that these 8-15 page articles are hugely informative in comparison to the Associated Press funnel format and clickbait drivel that dominates the web these days; you'll notice a lot of them make the front page here.

Of course the New Yorker has restaurant reviews, events, and other sections that are New York-specific, but these are remarkably easy to skip regardless of medium.
