How many examples besides the Nazis are there really? There have been plenty of internment camps, communist re-education camps, and political imprisonment which didn't involve mass genocide (including in Canada and US during WW2 of Japanese).

Genocides/mass murders have almost always happened during the anarchy of war. They have almost never been done formally by an established state during normal civil life. The Nazis (and Turkey) started theirs in the stateless fringes of their warzones, after the local governments were razed.

Again, I don't see how any of this helps the conversation or our understanding of the issue.
I'm not arguing in favor of racial discrimination, so I'm not sure what straw man you think you're arguing against.

I am noticing an implication on your part that animus against white people, or animus against men, is acceptable and welcome in the workplace. That's definitely a politicization I'm uncomfortable with.

These are all good suggestions, but for me the three nicest features of modern c++ are:

- auto
- lambdas
- all the "inplace" construction stuff (*.emplace_back)

These truly change the language and make it way better.

Try putting some amount ($20, $100, doesn't really matter) aside which you will spend on 'useless' things every month. Just make sure you spend that money and you don't spend it on things you buy normally. After a while you might find that if you spend $20 dollar on useless stuff, it might be worth spending $2 on trash bags. That should help relax your relationship with money.
There seems to be a huge disconnect between posted speed, design speed, and speeds that are safe in areas with pedestrians, scooters, and bicyclists. Engineers have been designing for highway speeds everywhere. It's going to take a long time to get everything adjusted so that the three things match up.
Nope. There are ways to reverse engineer closed source apps and inject code into them.
How about we let the kid learn how to program (which will outlive your favorite bundler and file hierarchy anyway) first? It's a 100 line script, one of the mistakes I made learning how to program was trying to be like the adults and focusing on minutiae like code organization rather than good code.

EDIT: story time. I once tried to make a 2D game engine in my late teens, but I wanted to be like the adults and have a proper class hierarchy. Suffice to say, I never finished it. Come to find a few years later, now class oriented OOP is passé and I was wrong to waste that time on it.

Learning to code and get things working is more cool (and in the end, more profitable) than making your code fit the norms of the day, which won't last anyway.
I had similar worries but I want to use a paper map again and I want to use my excellent Pentax ME Super 35mm camera again to take quality photos. The 3310 has a 2 mp camera for emergency photos. It can hold 7 (!) pics in the internal memory unless you add an SD card, haha.

The fact that it's dead simple is the point of the recommendation. It gives an opportunity to learn the tool with the bare minimum of moving parts involved.
I think the real problem that is totally overlooked is the whole authoritarian nature of this paternalism of monitoring people as to their "offensiveness". It's pure and unadulterated authoritarianism and controlling to declare yourself as the moral arbiter of what is and isn't offensive and what should and shouldn't be allowed. And no, it's not a matter of whether you CAN legally do so, it's a matter of whether you SHOULD be an authoritarian dictator.

How about giving people a choice instead of playing Little Lord Fauntleroy and controlling everyone's actions. How about just giving users the option to block "offensive" or even just possibly "offensive" names and terms and words, instead of going all paternalistic jerk.

It is something that has bothered me for a long while now, especially in places like Reddit, where the whole fundamental concept of the site was totally and utterly undermined by the authoritarian mod squad that makes the whole community voting/self-regulation a facade when it's not being used by the angry mob to metaphorically burn the witch that dared to say something that wasn't their favorite thing to hear.

An American user of my software was yesterday complaining that she didn't like seeing the weird letters in names etc, and wanted them stripped out.

I argued that changing Ø to O was just as wrong as a Norwegian some time ago perhaps changing her name's W to V, and that was obviously unacceptable.

(I'm not sure how realistic this is, but I've seen an old child's alphabet poster that didn't include W.)
> Things are not so simple. In fact, the very nature of social interaction is such that it cannot be preemptively, logically broken down and solved.

No, they are simple. But at the same time, as you say, they cannot be logically solved. There is no logic, be yourself, talk about what you like, and you might find someone.

The hard truth is that this person might not be in the league you "targeted".

Edit: removed unnecessary snarky sentence.
First, someone said this:

==How's that bad? Being able to resist what's popular is a good thing too. We rely too much on following fashions and trends.==

You responded with this:

==Resisting things just because the are popular is as effective as doing them just because they are.==

I am pointing out that you have no idea what the motives are and have simply assumed it is "because they are popular". Maybe the reason they want to resist what is popular is in order to spark their creativity or focus on specific niches. You are trying to make value judgements with almost no information.
Good basics but the article is too much on the simple side for me.

> Corporate censorship dampens the spirit of free speech.

I agree!

> The spirit of free speech is defending the least defensible.

I also agree!

However, I personally believe that if corporate censorship has a meaningful impact on the freedom of speech in a society then the fundamental problem is the amount of influence said corporation has on that society. The issue is the size and influence of the private entity - society-altering censorship is just a more visible manifestation of the root problem.
I think you're amplifying the weight of the degree in the hiring process and I'm not sure it's such a hard requirement given the increasing demand for data scientists and ML engineers.

True, and the risk here would probably make this a "bad investment" in reality.
> Are you suggesting China is on track to commit genocide against an ethnic minority because they established reeducation camps?

I'm pretty sure the upthread poster is saying (and I'm not endorsing every element of this, only my understanding of the message) that China is in the process of committing genocide against the Uighur population, and the “re-education” camps are a component of that operation with a thin pretext.

> A better example of the next tier is the gulags

The gulag was not, as whole, specifically targeted at resisters against an ethnic displacement policy targeting a particular ethnic group; it was a tool in political repression, but it wasn't narrowly targeted at repressing political resistance to policy targeting a particular ethnic group on the basis of core elements of the shared identity defining the ethnicity.

So, while both are manifestations of authoritarianism, they are arguably different in fairly critical ways as relates to the inference that I've it the other is part of a genocidal strategy.

OTOH, the gulag was, very early on, integral in the anti-kulakization effort that, while notionally targeting an economic class, apparently also had political and ethnic aspects and was arguably directly tied to a Soviet-directed genocide in Ukraine (the Holodomor), so I'm not sure, even if one accepts the analogy with the gulag, that's historically a justified argument against the camps being a leading sign of imminent genocide.

If there was a “tourist jam” avoidance algorithm those places would eventually be crowded as well. Most of these destinations are crowded due to the convenience of tech.

You are correct. I interpreted that as saying these particular cells are important, not the general class of inhibitory neurons. The article also didn't (unless I missed it) spell out the connection between inhibitory activity and neuropsychiatric disorders.

I had not heard of the relation between lack of inhibitory action and such disorders, but I know glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter and its deficiency can play a role in such disorders. Now I know of a more general framework to put that into. So this all make sense now, but it wasn't clear to me strictly from the article. Thanks.

I think when they invested, they expected more less like a triple-triple-double-double growth from 2014 to 2018.

In 2014 their ARR was $4.6M so investors probably expected their revenue to follow the $4.6M -> $13.8M -> $41.4M -> $82.8M -> $165.6M trajectory. Buffer's current ARR is $15M, which although is pretty good, is not enough for it to work well with the VC model.
With Twitter’s gradual shift from chronological timeline to overeager algorithmic shuffle, even if Musk unblocks everyone, users could conceivably not be served a tweet that would fall under SEC regulation based solely on the algorithm deciding they would “engage” more with other content.
They cannot share the same inputs unless the team spirit hyperparameter is exactly 1, which it is not. You are partially correct in that the agents consume the parameters of the four other agents, but it is weighted differently accorsing to team spirit parameters.
Thank you for the kind words. I realize that all "problems" are relative, so I guess when you state it like that it doesn't seem so bad.

Spicer's statements as press secretary represent neither a legal precedent nor necessarily the opinion of the Justice Department, though. I know you didn't specify "legal precedent", but that's the only precedent that would've mattered here. This is why this case had to be sorted out in the courts.

On the topic of Musk, the SEC has protocols that need to be followed. Even if Musk blocked 0 people, I'm sure he'd be under investigation.
In the US, you can buy a machine gun if it was privately owned and registered prior to 1986, though some states ban machine guns.

That's because you don't know how to defend yourself with a gun, if for no other reason than that self-defense (with a gun or anything else for that matter) is effectively illegal in your country. Yet you're apparently qualified to tell me what kind of gun I should use for self-defense.

That’s not the case at all. Your “ownership” of the device isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things. If you’ve signed an agreement with Slack not to modify their product, then you don’t get to modify their product.

Blocking ads is not quite the same thing as modifying a product - but I don’t see any obvious reason why an EULA which forbids ad-blocking wouldn’t be enforceable. Though it would be deeply unpopular.

A potentially crucial difference is that Donald Trump's White House Press Secretary said in a press conference in June 2017 that Trump's twitter statements should be construed as official statements by the president's office. I'm not aware of a similar precedent involving Musk.

Sorry, I should have put this in my original comment so you didn't have to make your comment:(
As a user: just don't store (or even process) data in random clouds.

As a developer: really try to minimize data collection at all costs.

I'm waiting for a future where the above is considered common sense.
There's process and Process. Big-P process is broken, it's too rigid and turns into quicksand. Or it's not what you do.

But processes happen everywhere, and even good developers aren't going to be uniform in what they do or have experienced. This is why I still find myself teaching 20-year programming veterans about make or *nix, because they've never used it in the past. With many of our more recent projects shifting to git (versus SVN or TFS for our historical projects), we've also introduced new workflows that people aren't used to. We can either have dozens of inconistently styled branches on the main repo, or we can establish a protocol/workflow. Once it's established we have to communicate it. The choice is: by "culture", which is loose, ad hoc, and often ineffective as people move in and out of teams; by process, document what that workflow is.

The follow up to that: If that process becomes Process (seemingly fixed for all time), you've lost. You should reexamine your processes as time goes on to make sure they're still correct, or that they actually accomplish what you wanted. Maybe a part of the workflow was to deal with a particular technological limitation that's since been removed, then change that workflow. But letting it go by word-of-mouth is not going to scale beyond small teams and small projects.

I like how the array named 'map' reflects our original use of this word, rather than the special meaning which it has acquired to programmers.

In Javascript and other languages 'map' has become a kind of "functional operation" so we cant call things 'map' anymore (in public). We have to say 'space' or 'state' or 'grid' or something... but I do still think 'map' was good.

Congratulations on a very efficient and readable project.

It has to do with denying citizens access to information from the government. So it would probably depend on whether public officials are using an account for official government usage or if it is personal.

No. All things being equal, the VC and cofounders leaving is a bad sign. But all things aren't equal: Buffer is so profitable that it can buy out its investors without impacting operations. That's an extraordinarily good sign, one few startups ever find themselves in a position to do.

The Buffer post is extraordinarily clear (almost numbingly so) about the mechanics of their Series A and why they needed to buy their way out of it. They had two structural problems:

(1) the terms of their A round included a strong incentive to liquidate the whole company early, in the form of a perpetual 9% annual interest payment due to the A round investors after 5 years.

(2) the terms of their A round forbade them from extending liquidity to other shareholders, including employee equity holders, without the approval of the A-round lead investor.

Unsurprisingly, Buffer's A-round investors needed to be talked into accepting the buyout, which they took at a substantial premium to their investment in the company.

I do not think the logic you're employing to value these shares is sound. Early exits are usually bad for employees (the lower the exit valuation, the less money is likely to trickle down to employees). Profitability gives Buffer lots of options to maximize returns to long-term shareholders, which is what employees are. To my eyes, Buffer's employee equity is more valuable given this information, not less.
I promise you that there is a palpable undercurrent as a company grows where you go from "everything is so easy, just be scrappy and talk to the person next to you" to "wow, there are all these scaling edge cases, not everyone is a senior dev/design/marketing/hr who has worked at the company since it's infancy, communication is hard and not everyone is like you" such that you need to spend money on hiring/infrastructure to solve this as the efficiency per person/project/team goes down.

Good luck.

Just recently started using a website for learning languages called exercism [0] yesterday that has tons of programming language exercises (including Rust and Racket). You might try that, although it doesn't teach you the language (you have to search for language specifics yourself) it gives you mentors that can comment on your particular submissions to exercises. I'm learning bash right now and submitted an incomplete exercise last night with a question and literally just got my first message from a mentor telling me how to print unsigned ints using printf as that was the last thing I needed to solve my exercise. Of course chat channels are helpful for getting aid too.
