This might seem specious to some people but there have been at least two intervals in my career where I ran into bad benchmarks of our app, because the person doing the measurement was running it in the foreground on a subpar terminal where writing to console was the bottleneck.

Occasionally, but less frequently, you can run into a similar symptoms just running build scripts.

Tuple Spaces – Good Ideas Don't Always Win (2011)
The biggest reduction in car deaths per passenger mile occurred from 1915-1925, about a halving in a decade.

Since then, from 1925 - 2015, the rate has consistently halved every 20 years.
> they are known to fire customers with too many returns

I think you are being overly cautious. I've been buying with Amazon for many years and returned a bunch of stuff for various reasons, and only times I had issues were third-party vendors, but Amazon never objected or gave me any trouble with returns. Of course I guess if you actively abuse it they have some triggers, but I don't think honest use has high probability of triggering it.
I read the article (I pay for WSJ) and there's one area they didn't mention: books.

I see a lot of books, especially business, productivity, time management books, written by authors who churn out poor quality (but legit, in that they're not filled with nonsense which is another scam) books by the dozens that mostly are the same book but freshened or rearranged. These books are low-cost so I've taken a chance on a few of them.

What made me try them if they have hundreds of legit looking reviews and 4 and 5 star ratings. I imagine there's some sort of "farm" for Amazon self-publishers that does this.
The best thing you can do is talk to a lawyer.
Normally they would start out with a DMCA and cease and desist notice to the webmaster, domain registrar and hosting company.
If things still are not right, more then likely you would end up taking the site owner to court.
If you have a trademark then you could also take them to court for using your brand illegally (you have to do this to show you are working to protect your trademark).

With .NET Core, .NET is seeing more cross-platform adoption - I'm not sure how you could possibly conclude, now of all times, that the time of C# or .NET has passed?
> Then he didn’t said he couldn’t accept it because the receipt was ripped. He said they could take it back, but I wouldn’t be able to make any other returns.

Looks like somebody being told by the manager not to accept returns or over return quota or something. Something shady definitely going on there... I never had such experience with local BB store, but I guess it depends a lot on local management.
Gagging on Google's IPO (2004)
Pinker's book is about the fate of world since 1800.

Your response is about a few statistics in the US since 1990. They don't even extend to the rest of the developed world.

Pinker doesn't say that everything is getting better all the time. There is still leaders like Stalin, Mao, Hitler and Maduro. He says, however, that in general things have become much better globally since 1800.

> The very existence of the tulpa invalidates that argument.

Only if it actually exists. There's the rub.

> I think psychosis itself invalidates it.

Why? What if psychosis is a surface level event? You aren't psychotic, you'd have no idea what would be going on in their minds to make such a determination.

> You're agreeing with him

Not necessarily true. I can say your reason for disagreeing with him is spurious without actually agreeing with him. And that's what I've done. I don't recall anywhere where I've said that he was right. I've just said you haven't given a good, demonstrable reason as to why he's wrong.

> I've explored questions that dive all the way down to the very nature of existence, including stuff like multiple universes.

That doesn't mean anything. If your tulpa isn't real, then none of those answers mean anything. It's just you talking to you, speculating on the nature of the universe. Those aren't "rigorous questions". And once again, you substitute claims for evidence. You've claimed to have done the work, but aren't really showing the work.

Oh. There is, but you wouldn't accept it. You'd likely just say that's how it presents. You've likened your experience to those of the religious and that's way more true than you may realize. And one can ask you the same question as any follower of faith: How do you know they're wrong and you're right? You've given no answer that differs in any meaningful way than any apologist. Answers that work for everything; work for nothing.

> But on the face of all of this, this is just a guy making these arguments.

Yes. But so are you. And if I need to decide which one of you I'm going to believe, I need reasons that will satisfy me. I haven't read his book, so I haven't fully explored his claims or evidence. But I'll admit that it is interesting. I can see how it works. I can frame things within that model. I will probably read his book. I can also frame things as "deep" thoughts. I'm not so ready to simply dismiss his ideas because I want to be deep. But all of the arguments you've presented me with are ones I've already seen in slightly different context. They're hollow. You've said his ideas are bunk, but your reasons, your evidence don't give me confidence in your assessment.
You have a very narrow and arbitrary definition of “bias” which seems to be crafted specially to make whatever point you’re trying to make.
Sure, if you follow all the links of causality, economic activity always produces federal taxes, which exist solely to fund the bureaucracy, which exists solely to get warfighters downrange and on-target. Therefore, nobody should ever spend or make money, lest you be supporting an immoral regime dedicated to killing people.

There are a few zealots that actually think like this, but most people realize that each stage in that chain is pretty lossy. There's a good portion of your wages that are not taxed, and there's a good portion of your taxes that are not directed to the DoD. Similarly, there's a good portion of the DoD bureaucracy that does not exist to get warfighters downrange and on-target - think of all the folks involved in procurement projects that are basically employment projects for defense contractors, or DARPA and the basic research it does, or the combat engineers building bridges in warzones, or the folks responsible for administering the VA and military pensions. You can be morally opposed to writing software that helps target drones while still believing that former vets should have access to health care.
It's a name recognition thing. I've seen cases where people in decision-making positions are like "IBM? They're big and have been around for a while - they won't fuck this up."

So, Tumblr, basically?
>Interesting how tenuous alleged racism is reprehensible, but explicit tweets about enjoying pedophilia are just jokes. Me personally, I think child sexual abuse is at least as bad as saying someone looks like their facelifted face is out of an old b movie.

It is possible to object to both. Why you would take Roseanne's word on faith but not Michael Ian Black's is beyond me though.
The point is that it doesn't matter because the pain people are experiencing right now far outweighs any of the positive we've gained over the past.

We don't experience deltas to the past. We experience deltas from what we remember.
Accusations of sexual harassment are commonplace at many work places. False accusations are disturbingly common. Don't ask me if you don't believe me -- it's obvious already that you don't anyway.

Rather, go make friends with someone who works in HR at a large company that employs lots of men and women. For this experiment, best not to try to befriend someone at your workplace. They may be hesitant to speak freely, since it could come back on them. HR people are nothing if not close-mouthed. At least the ones who last long enough to have good stories.

But lest you accuse me of dodging the question, I'll say that my personal favorite story is the woman who accused me of sexual harassment because I refused to remove a bad quality score from her record. (This was a call center, quality scores were only removed in very narrow circumstances.) She was three levels below me on the org chart.

I spoke to her exactly twice, in public, with several witnesses. She asked me to remove the score. I went back to my office, reviewed the call, and went back to let her know the score would not be removed. I was the final authority in any appeal of quality scores.

A week later I was informed by HR that she had accused me of sexual harassment. It turns out that she also contacted the FBI about me. Not even kidding.

But you might think that was a good idea. Hell, I might be a Russian bot sowing discord to affect the midterm elections and hasten the decline of America. I mean, I don't meet alone with women! Clearly that's un-American!
No; this is GNUmake specific syntax.

The simplest and cleanest thing to do is to write a Makefile per uname(1).compiler, like so:

Makefile.Linux.SunStudio
Makefile.Linux.icc
Makefile.Linux.PGI
Makefile.Linux.GCC
Makefile.AmigaOS.vbcc
Makefile.AmigaOS.DiceC
Makefile.AtariTOS.gcc
Makefile.Spearmint.gcc
Makefile.illumos.gcc
Makefile.illumos.SunStudio

...and so on. The source code and generic targets like clean: would go into a central Makefile.core which would then be included by the OS.compiler specific Makefile. The OS specific Makefile would only set $CC, $CXX, $FC, $CFLAGS, $CXXFLAGS, $FFLAGS and so on.

This way, no configure system would be needed and adding support for a new $OS.compiler suite would be trivial.

The code would have to be so clean as to allow compilation by any compiler of course.
First, thanks for writing and sharing this.

Since many here uses desktops I wanted to share a small tip, but first an anecdotal observation: I got my first computer at age 10-11 back in the 80s (a VIC20) and we only had a 50Hz (Europe) interlaced 21" TV as a "monitor" at that time. After using it a few months even my teacher pointed out I was getting dark circles under my eyes. My sleep was getting worst. Many years later and years in front of computer screens I also found that I had gotten delayed sleep-phase syndrome as well - this at a time CRTs was the norm. For those who say that this light is not enough to affect sleep, I would say you're wrong. But that's anecdotal..

As to the tip: here is what I did - in your color management settings, create a ICC profile which turns off almost all blue and most green. This will leave you with a darker orange color which is perfect if you need to sit late and work. This also affect all programs on your screen. You can also use tools to create ICC profiles that inverts bright colors etc.

Now you can simply toggle between your normal ICC and the dark/orange one.
Could you elaborate? How is my definition of bias incorrect? All I'm saying is that people with power/money can use these to skew media to push their own agenda.
FWIW, I think a new alternative has been brewing for a while: long form interviews on YouTube and podcasts. Whether you’re a fan or not, I think Jordan Peterson has some pretty insightful things to say about this on his last interview with Joe Rogan.
You're getting downvoted because you're failing to see the bigger picture here, in much the same way journalists deciding "even if we got handed this by the russians, it's true, so we should publish it" is missing the bigger picture.

Not to say that we shouldn't seek justice against these people, but that blindly making good local decisions may not end up with good global decisions.

I'd believe this argument if the current pain is overwhelming enough to want to live in the past, say 1800s. With all consequences. But I am confident most people do not want to go back even to the 1990s.
That's kind of what I got as well.

It's almost like a halfpology. He's basically saying "Sorry you thought I was an asshole, I was just trying to be clever"

Do people ever like being asked out by people they are not attracted to? Isn't that always an imposition, regardless of the venue?
Examples would help, but there's a clue in what he suggests as an alternative: "be polite and to the point". I think any type of cleverness that's indirect or could be perceived as impolite is the kind of cleverness he's talking about.
My kids are 5 and 2. Nothing really seems to recharge the batteries. Aside from some chill time while they are in bed. It starts to get less intense closer to 3, but nowhere near what it’s like without kids. We went on a 5 day beach vacation recently and set our expectations low - it was great, but also exhausting.

This has been my approach as well. There's a lot of diverse stuff here. I recently spent a long weekend 7 miles away from my house, at the downtown Bonaventure hotel, just walking around DTLA and doing stuff I don't usually get to do. I left my car at home to be sure I wouldn't revert to my standard mode.

When my kid was younger, we used to take the train down to San Diego for a week, or spend the week at a beach hotel in Santa Monica.

That said, travel abroad and to the east coast is really an essential complement to those pleasures. It's good to keep perspective.

Fellow Afrikaansie here. There were some very novel Afrikaans words for computer terminology in that school computer science handbook... However none of it seems to be that useful or much used at all, and English accesses the latest tech and many major western tech hubs.

I suspect this is the case for my languages, especially those spoken in very few countries or by smallish population groups, especially when the language speaking group is not Geographically close to other populations of a grammatically closely related language.

I am busy studying Georgian because I am relocating to the eastern European country. However I remain doubtful that Georgian will be that useful for technical computer stuff, because it has only around 4 million speakers and is linguistically close to almost no other widely spoken language.

I will find out soon, as my language skills and experience with the place collide.

> For me the more interesting question is how the tiny minority of people who have gotten their hands on the overwhelming majority of money, power, and resources in this country and around the world can be persuaded to use what they have in socially constructive ways rather than for the benefit of the tiny, exclusive minority they are part of.

That's what taxes are for. "Give up some of your money to be used for the collective benefit, or we will lock you in a box and then take your money away anyway" is pretty persuasive.
Well, I know it's definitely aimed at me.

Sometimes I make jokes that go over the recipient's head (almost never directed at them); it makes them feel a bit dumb and either makes me look like a jerk or poor at communicating.

I've tried to pay a lot more to context (what do I know about the person whom I'm talking to? what are their interests? what do they probably know about, and what not?), but it's still a work in progress.

In the meantime, most of my jokes, puns, or wit will get cut.

Ok, so we're clearly in a very US-centric context here.

What downsides? Please state them explicitly. (I could read this as a conceit to the general political climate in the US where atheists seems to be viewed unfavorably by the majority.)

> 2. Most people will not have a good job or a good paycheck.

Clearly some type of Basic Income type system will eventually become necessary as more and more things are automated. That, or we figure out what purpose the concept of money actually serves and come up with a better implementation.

I don't understand how you can claim that this is "destroying meaning"?

Let me ask a pointed question: Who do you envision as being the homemaker -- the wife or the husband?

I get the feeling that either I'm completely missing the point of what you're writing, or you're writing from a pretty "conservative" position.

I think your mindreading must have misfired, because I don’t even know who that is. Rest assured I judge liberals by the same standard: assume honesty, good faith, and a lack of privileged access to their mental processes.

The James Gunn case is a little different. He explicitly claimed to have graphically enjoyed a video he received from a convicted child pornographer. I’m deeply disappointed on account of I quite like his work, but that really is especially disgusting. There is no room for ambiguity in his tweets as there is with the infamous Rosanne one.

Edit: you’re pretty downvote happy. Is that really necessary for a good faith discussion?

> Great, things on average are getting better, but try telling that to the people in Flint drinking poisionous water or the children in cages etc.

This is actually a great example. We continue to reduce the lead in our water and environment, and kids in Flint today have all-time record low levels of lead in their blood.

There is no amount of lead that is safe, and this is not meant to let Flint and Michigan officials off the hook. But it's relevant to point out that kids in Flint today have dramatically, orders of magnitude lower levels of lead in their blood than kids born in the 1980s.

There is something in the middle where you go to the beach, relax, and practice some sports without rushing to the office. Obviously, since you have a few weeks of vacations you should decide what kind of vacation you want for the year.
a. let the kids visit a summer camp for a week or two

b. invite your friends

c. hire a helping hand for your vacation. That's still cheaper than going on a regular vacation

My most-relaxing vacations are getting an Airbnb on a beach or a lake with friends. We don't leave the house, don't have an agenda, and get to enjoy novel sights, sounds and smells. The combination is so incredibly refreshing.
Most of the whataboutism in response to this idea boils down to some form of "But but muh feelings" and I think really shows how little people know about both history and life outside the developed world. The other thing I find unusual is the number of people who think that optimists are saying "We have no problems whatsoever" -- and I can't for the life of me find where the article, other optimists, or myself have ever said such a thing. Weird.
