As you can see from my post referencing journalism in Europe, I'm not referring to the US case.

You'd also see that my post referenced income, not wages. An important distinction, and exactly the kind that journalists don't make when they say 'incomes aren't rising' when they are, and point only to one metric (real wages) to prove it. In a sense your post is a bit ironic.

Hourly wages are absolutely important, but your own research example itself indicates it's not the end-all metric, either. For example, your study mentions a period where real wages fell, but overal compensation remained stable, due to other non-wage benefits compensating for the loss in wages. In fact, your study mentions quite clearly that health-benefits are left out of the study, despite being quite a unique aspect of private labor compensation in the US (whereas most other countries have publicly funded healthcare) and healthcare being a key category of high-inflation. So you're counting the inflation to adjust the purchasing power of wages, but you're not counting non-wage compensation of healthcare-benefits which have risen sharply.

The study of course also doesn't take into account employment changes, as the study carefully points out. i.e., the sharp increase in labor force participation of women age 25-54 in the past 2 generations, isn't taken into account if you're talking about income, only the fact the median women earns 25% more. That understates improvements in income. Where you went from 4/10 women earning $10 an hour, to now having 7/10 women earning $12.50 an hour, that'd an increase of 118% in the total income earned by women, while real wages 'only' grew by 25%.

Rather than control for each individual confounder, one can better just look at real median personal income.

And you find it's 40% higher than in 1979. This metric isn't perfect either, but it does a better job than just looking at hourly wages for working people.

Lastly, there are some apples / oranges comparisons still left in inflation. Healthcare inflation is tricky to measure and is mostly done on a price-basis. That's different from other goods, e.g. the price of a harddrive, which goes up in nominal terms (a typical harddrive costs more than 10 years ago in dollar terms), but is adjusted for the fact it's 10x larger than it was 10 years ago. In healthcare however, we don't take into account that life expectancy has improved by about half a decade in 1979. Sometimes we tend to forget our lives are outpacing increases in pension age, i.e. we live longer and with more leisure. This, too, is a form of wealth and could be expressed as income. Instead, the only thing we tend to point to is that our healthcare costs are up, and thus if we adjust our wages by these costs (and then subsequently leave out non-wage compensation that pays for healthcare and retirement), observe that our wages are down or flat in real terms. That's short sighted.

But more importantly, I wasn't referencing the US at all.
IO itself is not hard, what's difficult is async IO. The solution has always been to think of it as serial - flat-mapping it into a serial timeline. I however think that it's better to embrace the "async" eg that things can happen anywhere and at any time, and deal with it using event-driven programming patterns.
Oh wow, thanks so much for linking this story! I was actually thinking of it as I was writing the post, but I couldn't remember the title.
I agree whole-heartedly. My intuition is that there's a huge opportunity here ready to be replicated by a few creative people with experience in the right spaces.
Star Wars EU was canon until the Disney purchase. Lucas had to approve everything, and there were efforts to maintain consistency.

I'll never be convinced that Thrawn wouldn't have been a better storyline than this complete rehash.
Some already do. Mainly consulting though. Most employees there are at customer offices anyway.
The article presents no evidence of that (much less the actual relevant comparison, which is whether government-run prisons in those same states would be better).

My evidence is not limited to the NYT article. Your original comment indicated that the profit motive always improves things. If true then for profit prisons ought to be an improvement to government run prisons. My belief based on working at prison and knowing some people who work at jails and having read a bit about the topic is that for profit prisons are not better than government prisons.

You further asked if prisoners are humanely treated in government run prisons in Illinois.

Are prisoners treated humanely in Illinois, where private prisons have been banned since 1990?

Prisoners in the U.S. are not humanely treated by either government run prisons or for profit prisons. Prisons are generally better run and more humane when run by government. It appeared your argument was that since government run prisons are still inhumane then for profit prisons are OK. I think that logic is bad. But I gather from what you wrote above that to you the question is whether or not the profit motive is what makes for profit prisons bad. My answer is yes given that the voting public in general does not want to fund humane prisons and that a for profit enterprise ought to run it cheaper than what government run prisons cost.

To me the question is one of betterment. Which system is better? Both are bad but one is worse than the other. That is what is germane to me. Pointing out government run prisons are bad is not relevant to the discussion if despite them being bad they are better than for profit prisons.
I do the second version as well, but most people don't, and not having a clear, obvious option means most comments that quote others are unreadable on mobile.

> "There should be one -- and preferably only one -- obvious way to do it."
It is my purpose to provide enough information so that anyone reading my articles can answer these questions for themselves, but I agree that there is definitely still a lot of room for improvement.

Thank you for your feedback!
Theory of Computation Lectures by Prof. Shai Simonson
The reasons for high unemployment in France are, I would suggest, more to do with how hard it is to fire people in France than taxes. If you know you'll be stuck with someone forever, you take the decision to hire much more seriously and you'd much rather ask an existing employee who's a known quantity to do more work instead (potentially even if you pay them more in raises than it would have cost to hire someone else).

Contrast that to e.g. Denmark where taxes are arguably higher but making redundancies/reducing workforce is not anything close to as hard or expensive for the employer.

Sure - so the effort switches to attacking the credibility of sources. That just pushes people further and further towards only believing the news sources they already believe, no matter how far away from a neutral and reasonable interpretation of the facts they have gone.
Rather than how to install this article should be about WHY you should install KDE.

I’ve been about 6 months in Clojure, and I am finally starting to like it. Coming from decidedly non-Lisp languages, it’s been a struggle. For example, immutability is possible, but not natural to most other languages; for Clojure, it’s instrinsic. I also often scratch my head at the way things ate scoped and tbe whole concept of purely functional programming. Clojure is very powerful and terse, but what I dislike the most, just like with Ruby, is the culture that the code should be self-documenting and self-explanatory. In all the code I have been maintaining this whole time, comments are rare, whereas in Java, C/C++, JS, etc., comments are plentiful and encouraged. I feel like with Clojure, I am expected to understand the code just by reading it. What gives?
A real leader would resign.
The fact that the boundary is blurry does not mean it doesn’t exist or that it doesn’t make useful distinctions.
GamerGate was founded on lies, and I see no reason to trust anyone who continues to be taken in by those lies. If you're really concerned about ethics in games journalism, stop marching under the banner of a group founded to harass some guy's cheating ex.

A rundown of the facts, again:

Eron Gjoni publicly claimed that his girlfriend Zoe Quinn, an indie game developer, had cheated on him with a bunch of guys, who he named. Most of these guys were other indie game developers. One of them was a writer for Rock Paper Shotgun, who had once mentioned Quinn's game in a single paragraph of a larger article about indie games, months before he allegedly slept with her by Gjoni's own account.

Some right-wing gamers immediately spun this into a narrative that Rock Paper Shotgun and several other sites they didn't like were corrupt and trading positive coverage of left-wing developers for money and sex. This narrative was wildly successful and wound up drawing in a bunch of people who were legitimately concerned about ethics in games journalism, and somehow didn't grasp the agenda behind it.

Consider Milo Yiannopoulos, a Breitbart reporter who "infiltrated" a game-writer forum, cherry-picked their discussions about how to respond to the harassment campaign, and spun them as sinister censorship. Yiannopoulos is a frequent supporter of literal, self-described Nazis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_Yiannopoulos#Leaked_Breit... But many were and are completely taken in by his article--I still see people posting it to justify GamerGate.
Thanks for that. Didn't know about this list.
Perhaps Elon needs such a COO at Tesla, too.
I'd like to see how the end result allows use of data for political purposes.

Political organizations pioneered the big data movement. (One of the first big data companies, Acxiom, actually started out as a list-seller for political purposes.)

I somehow doubt that this legislation is going to hinder this usage.
There's a site that authenticates pieces for him: https://www.pestcontroloffice.com/whatispco.html although I don't think they'll authenticate the counterfeit Diana notes he made and obviously that wouldn't stop with approval.

Works short term but wrecks your immune system long term, which means you will get sick from something else and no one can be blamed. Have you actually seen someone on chemo? Scientifically sound is not the first thing that comes into my mind. There's even a decent amount of objective research out there these days showing exactly this so there are really no excuses for clinging to these delusions any more.
Are there any modern takes on the objectives that Fravia was trying to achieve?
Some time ago I was trying to include more than one bibliography in a document. After a day or so trying to make it work with the MacTex installation, I checked if it would work with ShareLatex. Worked at the first try, changing nothing in my files. From then, I never looked back.

I only back up the ShareLatex projects in my Dropbox if for whatever reason I need offline access later. Has worked well so far.

As far as I'm aware, no one is still looking as Fravia is dead and +Orc hasn't posted publicly in decades.

I always thought they were the same person. Fravia was operating at a time when reverse engineering was very dangerous legally. Creating an anonymous persona to publish these tutorials makes perfect sense. I'm sure he knew how to mask his writings to look like someone from a vague location in Europe. Read and wrote latin, accomplished linguist, +Orc quoted many Latin phrases and obscure references to old texts, estimated ages of +Orc lines up with Fravia etc.

Only people that ever conclusively stated that +Orc was not Fravia was Fravia himself and others in the HCU.

Probably the same guy. So much has been lost to time that I doubt anyone will ever known one way or the other. Friends probably do, but they would have no reason to give up that secret and probably helped spread disinformation.

That's my conspiracy theory for the day.

Is there a page that differentiates why this is better than some of the OSS options available? HomeAssistant and OpenHAB are the two main options I know of, and both support way more than just z-wave.

The page mentions the product is open source, does that mean it's possible to run it without sending all of my data to your servers?

I'm all for new competitors for home automation, but if I have to sign up for a trial or pay a subscription, I'm less likely to even bother trying it if there isn't a huge advantage to do so..
That comment is unfair, untrue, and like a statement from "1984" to justify removing health insurance and food stamps. "Those people are happy to have a simple, subsistence job, they don't need more."

Fair point. As someone who grew up here in America, I’m sure my perspective is somewhat different compared to my international student counterparts.

But based on my anecdotal experience, the majority of my international peers want to stay in the Bay Area after they graduate, or at least somewhere comparable like Seattle, New York, etc.

Also it’s not just them either, their parents also want them to stay in America. There’s a reason why they’re willing to pay exorbitant amounts of money every year to fund their children’s education here. This is true by the way for pretty much the entirety of the world, not just singling out China.

You were downvoted because your calculations were for regular sails, and sailboats, instead of for Magnus effect.

Wikipedia says:

F = L*rho*v*2*pi*r^2*omega

where L is the length of the cylinder, rho is the fluid density, v is the fluid velocity, r is the cylinder radius, and omega is the cylinder angular velocity.

What angular velocity are you assuming in your calculations?
Yes. I would add that it's not just "in nature" that's important (and it is) but also "walks" - physical activity, even light physical activity like walking, can be a huge help to some people in combating stress and depression (but of course, everyone's different so these aren't completely universal).
Have you tried LuaTeX?
If you use plain TeX (without requiring extra LaTeX files), you should only need the binary.

LuaTeX is the successor of pdfTeX. Much improved. And it can use your local .ttf/.otf/... font files out of the box.

The install is very minimalistic and should not require more than downloading a binary and maybe a config file.

Is it even a useful indication of that? Perhaps it's a more useful indication of how certain groups want a particular demographic (e.g. Trump supporters) to think?
Absurd.

1st. After revolutions and civilic wars in 1922 Soviet union got 4-7 millions homeless childs.
How did these children survive? Without education and socialization childs can't even communicate normally. They stole and even killed for money. They represented a virus epidemiological risk. So Soviets resolve the problem very hard to gave roof and education for that childs and in 1924 they got "only" 280 000 homeless childs. Without mass shootings for nothing. It's very fan sometimes imagine what in the heads of the people thinking Stalink kills every second in Soviet country. If so who building cities, working on farms and factories, who was fought and win WWII? Oh.. Try to read less of propaganda.

2nd. Since that childs was illiterate and all time moving searching for food and money nobody can't register them in City Hall. The register process have name "propiska" in mean fixate persone leaving address.
Not "raspiska". Raspiska is just mean confirmation document writed and signed by you.

You'll be wondered but today in capitalistic Russia got "propiska" too. As the Spain for example.

But earlier "propiska" in Soviets was used to prevent mass moving people from one region to another. It's true.
But you must take this true in context of the time and events. It was really hard times.

Well done..
Transitions out of mental illness are personal and difficult - telling your story may help.
If you are still suffering you are right you need to get more talking help as that, IMO, will be the key to long term recovery. And I mean long term.

'Shoring up' for the long term is the best you can do for yourself on a practical level now - work, earn, save, clear debts, that's the practical steps.

Medically get all the help you can - be it meds, therapy, new ideas..

Maybe get some new ideas happening for you too? On a philosophical front I mean, I find episodes of depression come with a big slab of "what's the point" and have thus sometimes found (but this is very individual I guess) that exposure to new stuff - meditation, buddhism, books/reflections on philosophy etc helped in the sense of 'seeing a bigger picture'. Getting 'out of oneself' type activities are helpful during episodes IMO as it reduces (a little) that introversion which seems to happen and be quite damaging when in the depth of depression.

I had two years out of work after depression and substance abuse treatment (I managed to keep my job during this period whilst barely functioning for a couple of years, more due to bad HR management than anything I did, i.e. inertia/incompetence on their part). It took 12 months of the out of work time just to get recovery up to a level where I felt I'd be capable of working again, and then another 9 months to actually get a gig..

It's a long road, without light sometimes it feels.. but it will pass if you ensure you keep the minimal practicals together and ensure you get outside help to deal with what's going on in your head. You are absolutely not alone.
Take care and good luck!

> Maybe this speaks more about how Wikipedia works than quality of Breitbart as a source.

It has nothing to do with how wikipedia works rather than the pressure being put on it by monied interests and the news organizations.

What is happening to wikipedia is what happened to google, reddit, youtube, twitter, etc.

It's the elite media ( particular nytimes, washingtonpost, cnn, et al ) trying to muscle out everyone else.

In the long run, this isn't going to hurt breitbart or any of the right leaning news sources. Right leaning people are going to find it one way or another. It's going to hurt vox, theverge, huffingtonpost, buzzfeed and the billions of left leading fringe news sources as the big boys get special treatment. I'm certain that breitbart is going to be around 10 years from now. I'm not sure about vox and company.

And also in the long run, it's going to make people distrust the nytimes, washingtonpost, cnn, etc even more. But I don't think they care. Que sera sera.

People really underestimate how much external money pressure is being put on tech companies like wikipedia to serve as propaganda outlets. It's not even tech, even the ACLU is feeling the pressure. The only thing mere mortals can do is see out things play.
As long it doesn't support fraction scaling there's no good use of it.
Looking at the screenshots makes me seriously wonder if any professional graphic artist / ui designer is working on that project... screens are mostly empty gray panels, with weirdly spaced inputs from the 80s , tiny fonts and bland colors... i don’t want to sound too harsh on the nice guys that worked on it, but if they want to have anything popular they should give UI a bit more love ( and i think now is the time when a popular lîux desktop is the most needed)
The root problem seems to be that committing to getting something done is somehow tied into honesty and dependability. I feel like in Software Engineering at least, we should be careful to not make that association right away simply because the nature of the work is kinda unpredictable, especially when working with new/unfamiliar systems.

It looks like a few people have reached somewhat similar conclusions and create frameworks around this idea (Agile, Extreme, TDD etc.) to formalize the processes. But it perhaps makes sense to realize that they are just that: processes and heuristics trying to make a hard problem (delivering software predictably on schedule) more manageable.
I thought this was a joke, and then I thought about why, and realized I was thinking about "Glenn Snackwell," Matt Damon's made-up character in Ocean's Twelve. What a strange coincidence.
