Abraham Lincoln might have had positions that we would consider quite racist nowadays but because he became a much more moral person than his intellectual environment encouraged we rightly admire him. By contrast Campbell was somewhat retrograde to the circles he moved in as you can see from the authors he stifled. And so because he was exposed to arguments that he should have been a more decent person than he was and because far more enlightened positions were socially acceptable we are free to condemn him for his failings.

What do their contracts say? Agnostic of your own judgement of the morality of their actions, company agents are employed by shareholders to maximise returns on invested capital. It's literally the only reason the company pays them a salary from net profits.
OTOH, since Javascript's order of evaluation is specified to be left-to-right, it might make more sense to also make Reason behave like Javascript, since the point of giving Reason a Javascript-like syntax was probably at least partly to make it easier for Javascript developers to understand the language.

If the semantics would be different for something as fundamental as order of evaluation, there is a risk Javascript developers will find the language awkward.

I guess it boils down to whether it's more important to make Reason appeal to existing Javascript- or OCaml-developers.

As far as I can tell the “free energy principle” is just asserting that the brain is approximately Bayesian and is doing some kind of variational inference, right? I’m not sure how revolutionary that is.

LinkedIn is just an online CV for recruiters to find you by. The one you submit should be tailored to the job you are applying for

The CV that lands on my desk will determine if you get called for an interview. One or two sides of A4 is all you need. We only look at Github if the CV is interesting enough

If your CV says 'I have a CS degree' rather than 'I am a programmer' then I'm not going to look any further. I have employed excellent programmers this way. Only one of them had a Github account. None wrote blogs. Didn't even look at LinkedIn

Github can be interesting to see what languages you work in and what topics you found interesting when satisfying your own needs. But I will only look if the CV makes me think that it will be interesting

Github, LinkedIn and blog posts are merely supporting documents for your CV. If the CV sucks then it goes no further

> Usually, free software get a royalty free license. In the case of HEVC, software decoders are free as long as they are not bundled with hardware.

The problem is that "bundling with hardware" is very vague. For example, if some OEM sells their PCs/laptops with preinstalled GNU/Linux (containing VLC), does this count as bundling. Or let us consider, say, a singleboard computer that can be both used as a PC and a set-top box just by installing a different firmware (think GNU/Linux distribution) that is provided for free (as beer) at the vendor's website - what is bundling then?
FoundationDB single-core performance is fine. From my testing on the memory engine (and the docs), you can expect 70k+ reads/second/core for small keys and values. But crucially this means you must have concurrency to drive throughput.

No database can magically make your serial access pattern faster. Amdahl's law and all that.

FoundationDB's latency for your specific workload is up to how good you are at designing your algorithm for concurrency. If you do every step serially, you'll be spending most of your time waiting for the network.

well, "sur-" in french means a lot of things, alone or as a prefix : on, over, more, about, upon, onto, against, ...

So I'm pretty sure there is a pun intended here.

About "surbooker", funny thing is that "booker" is literally the english verb converted to french verb (hence the -er suffix). Even if it is well used in modern french, it still is an anglicism.
I think the next big breakthrough enabled by blockchain is going to be self-sovereign identity--the ability to represent yourself online, without a centralized intermediary/point of failure. Several companies and foundations are trying to do it--Sovrin, Evernym, uPort, Jolocom, Iden3, and others.
Company agents are not employed by shareholders and have no contracts with them. Company agents are employed by the corporate entity.
The etymology of surveillance is closer to “watch over”, as if from above. The literal “sur” prefix could be “over” or “on” or “upon” when translated to English, so it implies an above-ness.

The “sous” prefix is the logical opposite, usually translating to “below” or “under” or “beneath”, though it can be used to mean “within”.

In the movie Dr. Strangelove the president was very upset by the idea of choosing who lives and who dies, which is when Dr. Strangelove brightly exlaims "that could easily be done by a computer".

Decades later, Deep Impact doesn't bother with the qualms, and just has the president solemnly proclaim on TV that a computer will randomly select people, on top of a fixed pool of "VIP", and the people watching TV are all just... sad, and hope they get picked. Not one person goes "What? What did he just say?".

This "meme", that a catastrophy destroys all but a selection, is as old as the Bible, i.e. of Noah as well as the Book of Revelations. Flood myths in general are fascinating, some even have "the bad guys" surviving the flood they themselves caused.

edit: I tried to find the "bad guys surviving the flood" one, I'm 99% sure it was on here http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/flood-myths.html

But I couldn't easily find it again, it's such a giant page. I think it involved lying to the gods about who caused the flood (or other issue), who then punish the wrong guys, while the actually guilty people survive. Could have been about two island peoples, one good one bad, but I'm not sure, it's been quite a while since I read that page.

To avoid sacrifices of life when unnecessary, and to decide when it is necessary to send soldiers to their deaths.

It seems assumptive to discount the millions of souls weighing on a leader's shoulders. I'm sure there are monsters, but it's a terrible thing to have responsibility for, one I wouldn't want, and one which when assumed I won't begrudge them the distractions of worldly pleasures.

The particular irony of WWI is that, had the Germans prosecuted the war more aggressively (absorbing more casualties) at the crux of the Marne (as they later did in the WWII invasion of France), Paris would have been captured, France likely would have fallen, and trench warfare would have been avoided.

I was actually somewhat disappointed that the sequel started literally right as the previous one ended. Seeing the parents deal with a non-baby Jack Jack would have been interesting. He's already just barely controllable by some of the world's greatest superheros. It will only get worse when Jack Jack isn't a baby anymore.... given the staggering array of powers Jack Jack is given even in just the original movie, it's not that long before he could straight-up defeat his family members. All the things added in the new movie just make it worse. Keeping one Jack Jack in the house when he wants to play outside in the traffic or whatever is hard; keeping six or eight of them will be impossible. This is for the traffic's protection, not Jack Jack's, because Jack Jack is basically an invincible god on Earth by the end of the second movie. This is going to be a huge parenting problem, because parenting, one way or another, involves a great deal of coercion.
It's deliberate, and sometimes it's helpful to have a way to force the ordering of work in the database.

One potentially simple option is to have the database temp space stored in RAM, by registering a ramdisk. That also helps large sorts, which implicitly make temp tables.

You can also manually inline everything, but if you have a lot of joins, you may end up tuning queries by changing join order. By default, if there are >8 joins it uses the order you give it. If you set the 8 higher the planning step takes a little longer - fine if it's for ETL but not ideal for a web app.
Ahahah, lol, ok, get it :D So, apparently I totally reinvented less, I concede :)

To say even more, it's actually very much a crippled less (not all of its functions available!). With just one feature added, namely:

> in the input box at the top of the screen, start writing any bash pipeline; then press Enter to execute the command you typed, and the Ultimate Plumber will immediately show you the output of the pipeline in the scrollable window.

At least for me personally, it was painfully worth reimplementing the crippled less functionalities for this single little addition. Though I do admit I felt the lack of the slash-to-search feature of less already yesterday when using up...

And, to explain myself a bit, I really tried my best at explaining the tool in the readme... it's just that I can't currently think of any better wording :( If by any chance you had some idea/suggestion how you think I could improve it, I'd be super eager to hear it! I'm kinda too deep in the trenches to be able to look at it from a distance, so even seemingly obvious (to you) comments (as the one with the comparison to less, after you explained it) are sincerely valuable to me!
The importance of this is almost nil, because you'll never find someone else who understands any of these at a time when it would actually be useful.

In a catastrophic situation, you have two options: hunker down, or walk out (never drive). Staying put means that you can stockpile a few weeks worth of food and water.

Walking out means that you might eventually get to a place not affected, but it requires a lot more preparation. Have cash, food + water for a few days, two flashlights, first aid kit, compass, paper maps in ziploc bags, a knife, axe, portable stove, pot, fork, spoon, nylon cord, poncho, polar fleece, spare leather shoes, socks, warm hat, multiple redundant sources of fire, and possibly some luxuries like a tarp if you can handle the weight (but better not to). And know something about survival in the woods.

You take your chances either way.

I find this fascinating. We've had centuries of great scientists solving difficult problems but we don't really know how people perceive problems in the first place. It isn't a trivial skill: many people apparently can't see them. They become distressed when a contradiction between accepted ideas is pointed out and usually try to jump to a non-solution. Yet a few, e.g. Professors and PhD supervisors, can reliably identify subtle and important problems. Even if they can't solve them.
My guess is that they thought she had an insider giving her tips / interviews, and they were trying to catch this person.

Though the the surveillance and offers of transportation/"help" throughout the article appear to be about her, I think the real desire was to see who it was that she talked to and what they said.
How did their support of sexual misconduct in the past further the goal of maximizing profit? Is there a known metric that shows how profitability increases after a given percentage of harassed workers?

I think it has less to do with "fiduciary obligations" and more with self serving policies that the people in charge will put in place as long as they can get away with them. Letting one of the accused walk out with a golden parachute instead of firing him without any compensation for acting in a way that openly harmed the company certainly does not play well with "fiduciary obligations".
MassMine
So you're saying that they voluntarily chose to modify their arbitration policy for sexual harassment complaints to fulfill their fiduciary obligations and not to create a safer work environment?

How do shareholders benefit from the increased legal exposure of this new policy? And why, if everything Google does is to benefit the bottom line, are they choosing not employ this new policy retroactively? They didn't have to do any of this.
> If DOJ can show evidence of cartels, terrorist cells, and other unsavory entities laundering their money through bitcoin, ICOs, ethereum, altcoins and tether, then anyone who has ever taken crypto to work on a project, anyone who handled the influx of cash to exchange it for crypto by selling Tether (which is all of the major exchanges), are headed for a storm of hurt.

Oh no, the cartels and terrorist cells would have to go back to conducting all their illegal activities in physical US dollars.

DOJ has such a high conviction rate because they only prosecute cases they expect to win.

I had a cat. The cat would do stupid stuff while I was away and when I'd get home I'd get angry and smack the cat with a newspaper. Then someone told me: the cat is like a small kid: if you punish it after more than 5 minutes, it doesn't associate the punishment with the "crime".

People outside your team won't understand your reasoning. They'll see code working one day and a random failure a long time after that, which might or might not be related to the previously working code. They're just like my cat.

If you want to act for "shitty code", act before it's in production. Afterwards it's very hard to dislodge. And even harder to pinpoint the blame, as the author will definitely protect his back, ethically or not.

I'd take the experience as a lesson in human interactions :)
"We could've killed you, don't come back here" is a pretty effective intimidation tactic.
it totally depends on where you are from if that is in any way relevant. for example, where i am from, i wouln't expect anyone to know it. so doing SOS in morse, would just get some frowns at best. and i couldn't conceive of a situation apart from total catastrophic civilisation meltdown where it would be needed. literally. and most cases which could occur to make that happen will render your electronics etc. useless so good luck sending it out...

if you're on a boat all day with a ham radio or such devices, sure it's useful to know. but in a big city or urban area with no general access to such devices? are you going to write dashes and dots on the wall???

not saying that it's useless to know. i learnt a lot of these things from my parents, and i would teach my children if i had any, but i can totally relate to people not caring about it in my area and finding it some niche interest for 'nerds' or so.
For super small applications, where you have 5-10 endpoints, you can say that GraphQL is an overkill. But imagine having 100s of REST endpoints and the client making numerous round trips to the server fetching loads of unnecessary data; GraphQL certainly wins in this case as you can fetch everything and exactly everything in a single API call.

[Edit]
Also, the GraphQL spec being defined, and the way it is defined, reduces unnecessary documentation, unnecessary decision-making, and unnecessary communication between teams.

I don't think toxicity (LD 50) is relevant for plastic consumption. This sort of stuff packs into the gut and doesn't move or decompose. So the animal has to vomit it up or get surgery because it won't move down. I think the relevant comparison is ratio of pyloric sphincter between two species (the exit of the stomach). I'd be curious to know what that ratio is and it might be surprisingly close to one almost certainly less than 10. I do not know what the skill with which a whale can vomit, I do know that my lab mix pup is especially skillful.

It's one of my least favourite things about vault as a product - it would have been technically feasible to not require unsealing for read-only operations, and thus not made a 2am restart a critical failure. I made a PoC once (I don't think it's still published anywhere) that does exactly this. Unfortunately they chose not to do this.

Admittedly simplicity is a feature in and of itself, and the read-only unsealing requires more complex asymmetric cryptography, but the excellent nacl[0] makes this a lot easier than it used to be.

Not necessarily. It only shows that CCs have not gained enough traction as currencies to deliver on that dream.

The theory is that you wouldn't really need crypto-fiat exchanges because opportunities to earn and spend cryptocurrency directly would turn up everywhere, and eventually crypto would just crowd out fiat because it's all-around better.

Well, turns out nobody really cares about censorship-resistance nearly as much as about getting rich without doing anything for it.
