To quote my initial reaction;

"In Germany firing a teacher or cop isn't hard because unions but because they're state employees which makes it hard to fire them at all (though it does happen)."

So no, I haven't given up on anything, no.

I haven't asked for evidence either and I did at least read over the more interesting parts.

> the unionization status of teacher in Germany.

Teachers and cops.

>making it hard to fire bad employees

Well, as far as the paper seems to indicate they make it harder to fire any employee, which naturally also means you have it harder to fire bad employees, though this is a consequence rather than unions specifically making it hard to fire bad employees, at least as far as I can tell from the paper and some thinking.
It could, but that battle has been lost. C compiler writers care about benchmark performance to the exclusion of all else. People who care about predictable behaviour in code that doesn't follow the exact letter of the language standard have moved on to other languages.
You're right! The sibling comment does describe a behavior that is completely controlled by the autonomous part of the nervous system over which humans have little to no conscious control or ability to override.

Given that pretty much everything in the human body is linked to the nervous system in some manner, it's possible that there might not be a good reason to expect any kind of special feedback loop here.
How Can Blockchain Revolutionize the Food Industry?
AFAIK you cannot. Is that ever possible, on any unlocked bootloader?

amazing, thank you.
Purism is a manufacturer that directly buys into the principles of the FSF - that closed-source software is probably the most important ethical issue in computing. You can read about why on the FSF’s website.
No, it is because some array-like objects like node lists actually aren't Arrays and don't have those functions in their prototype.
On the other side of the coin, the machinations to divide and defeat the interests of the plebeians were horribly fascinating. Beware the promises of a Drusus.

In my mind, the failures of the gracchiae seem to echo for hundreds of years until Rome itself was sacked.
Granted, the gracchiae were fighting for the latins, but the lack of compassion shown to visigoths undoubtedly played a role in the impetus behind their uprising.

If you're familiar with how go does interfaces it's kind-of reminiscent of how they do maps. A variable that is of an interface type has 2 parts: And pointer to the Itable mapping functions in the interface to their implementations in hard type, and a pointer to data of that instance of the hard type. The creation and assignment of that Itable is invisible at user level and baked in at compile time (with reasonable but irritating consequences like type nils).

Similar to an Itable, they're injecting a type descriptor table (maptype) in the function parameter that can get things like the size of a key or value, alignment, kind, etc.

I had two questions: A) why can't hmap struct keep a pointer to the maptype? it shouldn't vary per callsite right? B) does this count as generics?

It's strange. Like a half erased, half reified generics. It seems erased in that the hmap itself doesn't carry the type information but it's reified at each callsite?
Ok, I stand corrected. However, at lower optimisation levels they do not inline memcpy calls, which might matter for you. It's never fun if the debug build is 10 times slower in a hot function...
> Perversely incentivizes getting sick.

This is a stretch, since "getting sick" isn't generally something one controls directly. At most, it could incentivize illness-risking behavior. However, even then, to be an incentive, the benefit of paid leave combined with being sick during that leave would have to be more attractive than being healthy and working, which is not a foregone conclusion.

Instead, lacking distinct sick leave perversely incentivizes getting coworkers sick (in situations that a sickness is contagious and workers are co-located). Rather, it incentivizes the risky behavior, where the risk is borne by everyone else and, by extension, the employer.
Interesting that teachers are no longer officials, I think I missed that development. Quite sad though then again some teachers are quite ... different in my experience so it might improve things a bit too.

This approach is highly flawed because you optimize for the age of 80 where your body and mind are heavily limited. Being happy at 80 isn’t something I’d optimize for. Being happy along the way even if you’d regret it later seems to be more reasonable. Best of course happy along the way and happy later.

The Leaf does not have a liquid cooling system for its battery. Most other EV's do. The early Leafs also used a battery chemistry especially prone to deterioration due to heat. Many early Leafs in hot climates had significant battery degradation. This is one of the reason used Leafs are so inexpensive. The more recents Leafs batties are supposed to be better.

There are clever optimization tricks that GHC or MLton really do, but the better point is how C and C++ lowered the bar. Quoting Fran Allen

> Seibel: When do you think was the last time that you programmed?

> Allen: Oh, it was quite a while ago. I kind of stopped when C came out. That was a big blow. We were making so much good progress on optimizations and transformations. We were getting rid of just one nice problem after another. When C came out, at one of the SIGPLAN compiler conferences, there was a debate between Steve Johnson from Bell Labs, who was supporting C, and one of our people, Bill Harrison, who was working on a project that I had at that time supporting automatic optimization...The nubbin of the debate was Steve's defense of not having to build optimizers anymore because the programmer would take care of it. That it was really a programmer's issue....

> Seibel: Do you think C is a reasonable language if they had restricted its use to operating-system kernels?

> Allen: Oh, yeah. That would have been fine. And, in fact, you need to have something like that, something where experts can really fine-tune without big bottlenecks because those are key problems to solve. By 1960, we had a long list of amazing languages: Lisp, APL, Fortran, COBOL, Algol 60. These are higher-level than C. We have seriously regressed, since C developed. C has destroyed our ability to advance the state of the art in automatic optimization, automatic parallelization, automatic mapping of a high-level language to the machine. This is one of the reasons compilers are ... basically not taught much anymore in the colleges and universities.

I honestly believe the "creep" is baked in, [at least partially] funding the whole thing.

An email provider is providing you infrastructure in exchange for cash expecting them to violate your privacy because they can would be like expecting bic by virtue of selling you a pen claiming the right to read your diary.

Note that Microsoft actually DID violate user privacy by reading hosted emails when they thought it would help them catch a leaker. Institutionally they have never had a history of ethical behaviour regardless of how much their founder now gives to charity.

An employer provided email is another matter. Superficially all email ought to be company business in which at least one party is acting as the agent of the company. In reality personal matters are probably frequently intermingled even between two employees of the org providing the email. What's public and what's private becomes complicated.

If there is a dispute do you ask both parties to voluntarily turn over emails? In a dispute between a party inside and outside of the org do you make do on what you can get voluntarily turned over?

Do you merely make do without such evidence? Does one go to court and request such if needed from your own org? If that is the standard how does one enforce proper disclosure when there is no adversarial situation?
I worked for a UK subsidiary of a US company. Right on the login screen was notification that all use and communication was subject to monitoring.

Why would it be otherwise?

You are paid to do the company's business with the equipment they provide. It's not a matter of 'power'.

Imagine a UPS driver taking the van to run errands for his friends. Few people would argue that it is inappropriate for UPS to track the van and fuel usage. Maybe he scrawls anti-management missives and keeps them in the glovebox. Why is IT different?
> Google has ~3% market share compared to Microsoft's ~28% and Amazon's ~40%.

Where does this number come from?

If it is based on the revenue reported, be very careful with Microsoft's numbers. They report a lot of products as "Azure intelligent cloud", including Office suite subscriptions, on-premise server licences, and software (Windows, SQL Server) licensing revenue from other cloud providers in that number.

Pretty soon their claimed growth is going to flatten out, because they couldn't find any more revenue to report as "Azure intelligent cloud", like PC hardware ...

Once old Skype account is connected with Microsoft Account it can't be separated; if I'm not mistaken it was possible to disconnect both shortly before MSN/WL Messenger was terminated completely.

I did log into Skype recently on my old forgotten accounts - one I was using on daily basis and other I tried to delete because of unfortunate username (no response of course happened from Skype back then; leaving account to rotten for period of over 365 days didn't do a thing). Both were working without problems (tho, chat history was gone as they announced), not connected with any Microsoft Accounts.

And honestly, MSN Messenger was the best service MS provided - sans that short time when it was the annoying Windows Messenger bundled with XP
Do you really think than having less data about human health is better ... because ... privacy?

More like aiming to improve the safety of the cars.

One company can try to do it by putting sensors to improve the driver's situation awareness and another company can try to make the cars driverless.

Driverless cars also don't exist but apparently, enough people believe that it could be done and the research is going on.

Maybe at Theanos they never intended to make the promised machine but I don't want to join the lynch as I don't know the people involved and I can't read peoples minds.
Just goes to show how long a ghost can live inside a famous brand. Skype gained a lot of good will when it first came out and was by far the best thing out there. That hasn't been the case now for at least 10 years and they have living off of that name recognition for a long time.

Young adult. It takes about 1-2 weeks to notice a trend. I'm just looking over my summer RHR data and it pretty much matches my activity level. Steady decline in May and June when I was working out consistently. Steady climb after I injured my knee and had to lay off a bit. Decline when I got back on the exercise horse. Incline towards the end of the summer when workouts became rare due to wrapping up projects and traveling.

On a good week, I'll do 1-2 hours of cardio 5x a week, maybe with some HIIT thrown in. On a bad week I'll do nothing.
I think the article answers that. There's a whole bunch of design and implementation decisions that would be very different and more complex with generics.

I don't know how things currently are, but YouTube was a mess.

I worked for an ISP (in Russia), and in the early 2010s, we had quite a lot of complaints about YT videos buffering. We've checked our network very carefully and found no signs of any trouble. And we've confirmed issues and were able to reproduce them even when the network was least busy. We've tried to re-route traffic via different uplinks, even messed with the DNS records a little bit (I admit this grave sin) - sometimes with some temporary improvement effect, but mostly to no avail. And of course, we've talked a lot to our peers. This was quite a major headache, and we were out of ideas what else we could do (we weren't anywhere large enough to get a Google Global Cache server). Then Google did something (IIRC, mid-2012), and we've stopped getting the complaints.

With VPN you're probably hitting different YouTube servers. I guess we should've tried to route via some VPNs too, not just physical peerings we had. Never occurred to us at that time.

I left that company in 2015. Don't know how things are now.

My point is, even without a malicious intent sometimes things look the way you describe.

I assume Americans vote with their brain, but they don't place "Netflix being throttled" at the top of their list of priorities (and rightly so).
If an employee is unproductive because they are unmotivated, they do have the self-empowerment to say “this project isn’t motivating for me, let’s reassign me/plan for a more motivating project next/go over what the stakeholders need from this”. If they are lacking the skills required to succeed at the project, they can go for training/get more experience from completing a similar, smaller project. And if they are apathetic and feel like they can avoid redundancy by putting in the minimal effort, they can look for a new job.

Sometimes the cause is external, like poor & changing requirements or wishful planning, or a bad personal relationship with coworkers, but even then the employee can feed that back to management. If they choose not to act on this feedback, see the ‘apathy’ option above.

Source is self-management on solo projects.

Given my comment I guess you can imagine I know how to use Emacs in graphical mode.

Also Emacs in graphical mode still isn't as feature rich as XEmacs used to be, which was much closer to the inline REPL experience of Lisp Machines.

And in any case it feels quite short of the overall experience of using commercial Lisps, Smalltalk, Delphi and many other RAD environments.
Data transmitted using a VPN goes through a different route that might not be congested.
Isn't that the good thing though? I know some people dislike the negativity but as long as it's constructive criticism I think it's valuable. I'll take "I think this is a bad idea because of X" over "omg this is so cool!". Of course "I think this is great because of X" is also nice.

In this particular case I think the criticism was warranted, even if you try to only consider what was known at the time. "We are a new startup led by an inexperienced yougester and we have a product that does everything better and cheaper than the industry standard but we won't peer review" seems like a huge red flag. The Forbes fluff piece with strange and rather dubious claims regarding the level of skills of the founder adds a second layer of redflagging on top of that.
