"in tech". The CoC we're discussing here exists - as CoC - for Millenia.

An even older example would be the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocratic_Oath, which might have been more appropriate as an example of a "code of work conduct", but "I swear by Apollo the Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses" might rub some people the wrong way, including, in this case, sqlite's author.
Yeah, I assumed from the name that this had something to do with Mindstorms.

If the project gets any real traction, they'll have to rename. The obvious non-infringing name has unfortunate connotations, though.
The way this book is so wonderfully illustrated and written is why we need more women in math/tech. I haven't read any paper/book on abstract math/category theory that wasn't extremely dry and boring
That’s not normally necessary. One can often just use tagged dual numbers.

I guess one might consider tagged duals hyperduals.

The first Intel powered Macs shipped in early 2006 with 10.4.4, but Intel compatible builds of OS X date back to 2001/2002 internally.

https://www.macrumors.com/2012/06/10/a-bit-of-history-behind...

A lot of the guts are shared with iOS, which runs natively on those chips already. I think it's safe to assume they have internal macOS builds running on their A series processors as well. They've probably been testing that for years now.
do you have recommendations for reading up on this?
So is this legit? Mods have been killing this story with "NSFB" flag on /r/intel almost as fast as Intel killed 10nm for the past few hours. Not safe for who's business exactly in this case?
I bet that Apple won't rely that much on emulation this time (like back when switching from PPC to x86), instead either require app-store apps to be uploaded as LLVM bitcode, or upload fat-binaries with ARM and x86 machine code (NextStep aka OSX did this already a quarter century ago), or maybe even statically translate x86 machine code to ARM on the app store "server side".

Most command line code installed through homebrew is compiled on the user machine anyway, which leaves the closed-source and legacy UI applications not distributed through the app store (but by the time Macs switch to ARM, OSX probably will forbid to run those anyway).
Shackleton's _Endurance_ was one of the strongest ships ever built, thanks in part to its being sheathed in "greenheart"[1] which is pretty remarkable stuff.

Edit to note: apparently greenheart isn't quite as high on the Janka hardness scale as the top 10 listed in the OP's link, but its near-imperviousness to the harsh arctic marine environment still makes it an amazing natural material.
This looks incredibly expensive with a lot of touch labor. The surface is incredibly gnarly due to being basically made entirely of welds. You'd want to grind that puppy smooth on the railings, etc.

One thing that I think is finally entering the mainstream is that 3D printing is actually a MUCH more labor-intensive process than typical mass production techniques.

Tips to Find Bisexual Women on Bi Dating Sites and Apps
I saw some comments on reddit which highlighted a pretty serious problem - many orgs rely on github as a fully integrated CD platform, with everything from code hosting, to running CI hooks, to pushing to staging or prod.

It seems very unwise to have essentially your whole deployment process manager in the hands of an entity which you don't only have no control over, but which has regularly been targeted in attacks by nation-state-level actors because of their role as a code hosting platform.

EDIT: GH hasn't been targeted regularly, but it has been so historically, so this is a plausible thing which might happen again.
Oh man 2 and 3... I know those feels.

I hate the word "entitlement" because I think it gets used wrong a lot, but oh man folks perspective when it comes to the internet ... a lot of that. Users just feel it should be free and even a minute of downtime and they want answers, about a gaming forum (god help them if they just went to play games for a bit).

As for the prolific troll thing, one site I worked (well volunteered) was a popular commercial gaming site back in the day. Threats, fake accounts claiming to be lawyers, etc. The site made money and all and had some really dedicated trolls. One they actually took legal action against. I assumed it was just some kid with too much time. Turned out to be a dude in his 40s.... in fact many of the most dedicated trolls turned out to be adults. Kinda shocking to me at the time as I was younger then and just assumed they'd be young dumb kids like me...
Ask HN: Can you increment a counter for units that decay?
You have a pantry with food in it that expires at different dates. Each "food" is 1 unit. The expiration dates are random. When you added a new piece of food to your panty, how would you increment your "FoodDaysRemaining."

I think you end up with this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piecewise_linear_function but I don't think you can represent that efficiently with something you can increment?

Product Management and Automated Testing
I feel like I should answer part of your question more directly than I did:

"Would you serialize and dump a set of source code from an image? Would you build the reference image from a source code project and manually handle the consistency between source files and images?"

Yes, this is a normal way to manage changes in Lisp projects.

I should mention that, even when I'm using images as I've described, I use text files, not image files, as the canonical storage for my code. I use images in the ways I've described, but I don't use them as the main way to store the reference version of my code. Consequently, the normal way I manage Lisp projects (and the way I've seen other Lisp hackers do it) is to use git or similar tools to manage versions of the source code. I build reference images, working images, and release images from those source files.

Smalltalk systems have always been more oriented toward managing everything from within the image, and the Smalltalkers I've worked with generally treated text files as a serialization format for exchanging code with others. The canonical form of the source code was in the image. (Well, really, it was in the sources file, but that's basically just backing store for the image.)

I work with Lisp much more than with Smalltalk, so I'll defer to other commenters on the current best practices for managing Smalltalk projects with revision-control tools.

I will mention that some older Lisp systems were a little more like Smalltalk systems, in that they had more tools for version management than currently-available systems. Interlisp, for example, had a pretty impressive change-management facility called Masterscope, and Lisp Machines had a versioned file system--the machine's filesystem was a revision-control system.
That's not a reason to be a fan. It's much unhealthier. Unless they are changing out the vegetable oil every day then it carries a much bigger cancer risk (due to aldehydes).
Wow, actual legal action? I suppose I should feel lucky, things never got that far.
I'm not sure I agree with that professor's claim - who was this, what kind of professor? Look at the claim itself. For instance, who is this "we" that is "always assuming"? Is it biologists at large? Because they do not tend towards unified, reductionist explanations of neuroscience based on computer science.

Theories of mind have been going back thousands of years from before the time computers were dreamed of. This idea of a technological paradigm of neuroscience falls apart quite easily when you consider the far longer exploration into human consciousness and neurophysiological function, both fields of inquiry are far older than computer science.

Never mind the fact, those that study neuroscience, they speak of neurochemical signaling pathways, of pre- and post-synapatic chemical reaction, or of the functional imaging of the brain's different regions. There is a great deal of genetic analysis, of pharmaceutical interest, and of genuine biological mysteries. I'm sorry but I just don't agree that neuroscientists are couching their field in terms of computers.

For some reason, I did find the lack of syntax highlighting annoying, but never looked further into it. Now, it's done. Thank you !

That never seems to work well in practice.

Most of the time, there are existing answers and "closing as duplicate" leaves up all of them as a separate question thread that just confuses everyone. The links between them and the duplicate message are not intuitive and easily overlooked, leading to an expectation of unfinished answers.

Quora meanwhile has completely reversibility, and allows the community to do it. It's caused some problems but overall has cleaned up many common and repetitive questions.
On Creative Coding
If I understand it correctly, blockchains provide no latency guarantees, which means if you design an application that assumes users can place transactions on the blockchain in a limited amount of time, that can be prevented by an attacker and exploited for financial gain?
All of the effort expended to enable the legacy PIC so that the legacy PIT doesn't fire timer interrupts into an invalid configuration seems weird, especially when justified with "the APIC is too complicated and we'll show that later".

Um... the Local APIC interface needed to catch an interrupt and wire up the timer is if anything simpler than what is presented here.
>it provides cleanly defined answers for people who are genuinely unsure whether sexual advances are welcome at professional conferences.

So chatting at the convention center bar with other attendees falls outside CoC scope?

It actually does, since it reduces the local stress. Risk of fracture due to defects and repetitive loading is dramatically reduced (by order of magnitude or more) by increasing the material margins.

It's a short foot bridge, so it's pretty easy to design it with significant enough margin.

That said, it's not a very good idea nor a scalable solution to, like, anything. More like an art project.
I agree. Though, how the story gets told is a sort of random chance event too. At least in terms of material there's plenty of anecdotal dirt always.

A few years back there was a ton bit of scandal around executions of witches/sorcerers. Official, public executions... for magic.

Most folks that use sqlite, would not stumble across that text because they just use the damn thing as-is. But it was raised on HN, so now it is fodder.

The sqlite folks could have just answered to these "clients": "No, a CoC does not apply to us because x, y, z". Instead, they chose to insert themselves into the fray with a fairly aggressive piece of satire as an open letter. It was very much their choice, and they've now gotten themselves a lot negative impressions because of HN exposure, I think.
Remove the entire concept of "accepted" answers and let votes decay or be withdrawn, along with scoring the rankings using time as an additional input.

CoCs have been needed for 20 years and more. Now that we're getting them, there's discomfort at the disruption to the status quo, but it's a status quo that desperately needs disruption.

Intel Split Technology and Manufacturing Into 3 Divisions
https://www.game-debate.com/news/25940/intel-split-technolog...

As of this week, Intel has announced it’s splitting its manufacturing group into three distinct segments in a massive shake-up aimed at bolstering its development.

The move is tied into the departure of long-time senior VP Sohail Ahmed, who’s been with Intel for 34 years and is currently the head of technology and manufacturing at Intel. Ahmed will be moving on shortly, and Intel will be using this moment to restructure its business.
Yeah I was surprised they even did it, not just legal action, but legal action in another country. But that company did have a presence there....

The handful of actual legal actions never were well known, it was amusing as the dedicated trolls talk big about every perceived injustice or slight or straight up lie they would make. Even posting on other sties about it.

But the only legal actions I was aware of, word never got out. I suspect when it gets real they get quiet fast, or their lawyer tells them to shut up.
Sure, this isn't sanely doable with the current state.

I mean what should they do?

Write two pages for every article, one where everyone could write and one where moderators accumulate the quality content?

That won't scale.

Maybe they need a VCS based approach, that merges only quality content but keeps all low-quality content in dead-end branches.

I don't know what the solution would be, but the current approach is sub-optimal. Not because it's not nice to delete the work of people, but because they don't motivate people to do a better job.
> They're a different company now.

I would argue that they are still driven by sales and bottom lines.

The we refers to computer scientists.

And even before computers, we still had technology. But we didn't really have an understanding of brain physiology thousands of years ago, so the statement really only applies to theories on how we get from brain physiology to computing, not theory of mind.
> Respect your seniors

How about just "respect people".

I've literally seen how "respect your seniors" plays out in reality: any idea from new/junior team members is effectively ignored, because they're not 'senior' enough.
I remember being wowed by this at the time, but, looking back on it now, I think I was maybe just captivated by the fact that they were throwing a bunch of technology at it, not what it was accomplishing.

I see two ideas for how it might be useful that are practical: Putting windows "out of the way" when they're not being used, and attaching notes to files.

For the first, I'm not sure the 3D works well with how I like to work, because I like to use up all my screen real estate, and a bunch of floating tilted windows are still in the way (because they take up a bunch of space - maybe 15-20% of the real estate of the full window, in the examples from the demo) using this approach. On OS X, by contrast, I have several options, all of which really do get the window completely out of the way - I can hide it, I can minimize it, or I can stick it on its own desktop. Throw a window tiling tool like Spectacle in there, and I get a pretty large amount of power, while still keeping things simple.

Adding notes to files by writing on the back of the window feels odd to me, UX-wise. To view the notes, do I have to open the file and then flip the window around? How do I know that a file has a note, without doing that? I think I'd rather just have a "notes" bit of metadata that is viewable in the file manager.

In general, I think that 3D is maybe just awkward for organization. Evidence: Out in the real world, we have invented all sorts of objects for 2d-izing - or even linearizing - things for organizational purposes. Shelves and file cabinets, for example.
How many hours do we really need to work?
Stack overflow was instrumental in my early programming career, because without it I would have had to read entire volumes of information to solve simple problems in some cases.

The issue that I have is the attempt to pretend to have guided the course more than was the case. SO was a Q&A with a tremendous UX, and the users used it to help each other. That’s it.

Even this nonsense of “gamification” is just ego-driven marketecture. Up and down voting has been a staple of the Internet for a long time. Voting up an answer is not gamifying it. The only thing even remotely game like about SO is that each question can have just one selected “corrct” answer... which is also basically the case on most Q&A sites, including yahoo answers.

Also, the extent to which Jeff and Joel attempted to curate this process is the exact extent to which the process tended to get in our way; deleting questions because they are “off-topic”, even though hundreds of people up vote them and want to know the answer, etc.

These are the decisions that ruined SO for manny developers.
Thanks! Is this anyhow related to the https://www.redox-os.org/ project?
Rogue Bit – a hacking puzzle game
A lot of that work could also be automated though if they wanted. There are machines out there today for smaller parts that will use wire deposition like this to build the bulk rough outline of the part then machine away the rough outer layer for a precision part.

Leaving it rough though I think is an intentional choice part of showing off the materials and processes used instead of hiding it. In reality I bet the surface isn't much worse than an unsmoothed stone or concrete.
Nope, independent.

Why Stephen Hawking’s Final Work Is Important
The two main pillars of the stack overflow experience as a contributor:

- Gameify all metrics to an absurd degree, using gold-star-sticker style incentives for every given interaction type.

- Take the metrics a seriously as possible, creating a baroque network of norms and code that a user is always, somehow, in violation of.

So if it gets upvoted too much, it SHOULD be flagged as community wiki. There was a long discussion where users were complaining about answers that were posted too fast, preventing the complainers from getting points. If you misclick, then retract it, you can't vote again. Why? Because users were downvoting everyone who competed with them to float their answer to the top, then retracting.

The overall culture the site has a deep aspect of working the referees as much as possible, and the extreme hands on nature of how they regulate people's Fake Internet High Scores is to blame for it.

Are you an actual muslim or just by name. Don't invalidate your eemaan by saying Islam is inferior to man-made system. Even if you don't like the mufti and scholars, they've done the ijtihad based on the Quran and Sunnah for the best of muslims, and they are the responsible ones, not you.

Definitely. I think B is why we don't see many fraud cases brought here. I doubt Theranos would have been exposed like this if they weren't working in a regulated space. Although doing big fraudulent deals with Walgreens and Safeway didn't help; as non-investors and publicly traded companies, they had less reason to just slink away quietly.
