I 100% disagree. Have had extremely interesting conversations out of essentially this question regardless of my status relative to the person I'm asking (plus or minus 3 levels in the management chain), except in the rare case that the person is so super shy that they can't come up with anything to say even with coaxing. People that don't give a shit about me are even more interesting when they answer.

With a person who is higher status than you, they invariably have a life story that they are practiced at and enjoy telling, and know how to answer this question in a really satisfying and engaging manner because it's been asked so many times. That's the easy one, and pretty much no high level person will be upset if you ask.

It's toughest with someone not used to answering this question, or someone who thinks of you as higher status - in those cases, you can't just say "tell me about you", you have to make them comfortable and coax them into getting excited to tell you about things they care about. That requires active attention and listening, and is not necessarily easy.

Asking people to tell you about themselves is never rude, in any case. If your conception of "rude" includes that, then you're gonna have a rough time in all but the most wonky parts of business.
Inflation in Canada accelerated unexpectedly in October
That's not 100% correct.

Something that implements a "monad interface" (e.g. has pure, map and flatMap methods) doesn't compulsorily have to be a monad.

A monad has to obey the monad laws to be one.

Scala's Future is not a monad per se:

Why “Many-Model Thinkers” Make Better Decisions
please don't shoot yourself in the foot and do a little bit of googling before seriously considering this for anything. IOTA is a total garbage fire. See other comments here.
The title of the course is misleading, as it suggests that NAND gates are the only required primitive, whereas the course later introduces DFF gates, without which you cannot escape the parallelism of chips.
I am surprised how fast I have become when using Double Commander. I really needed to learn the keyboard shortcuts, but that payed off. It is really made for keyboard control, not mouse based interaction. Seemingly minor details like searching by typing selection being a toggle (space bar) help me a lot.
Not bad, but Richard Greenblatt was not founding Symbolics - his company was Lisp Machine, Inc., which he founded together with Stephen Wyle, and Alex Jacobson. ;-) Though, LMI also sold its machine with a space cadet keyboard and their first machine was also basically a CADR.

Symbolics also was not a joint venture. Tom Knight was actually a co-founder of Symbolics.
Hi. Well, I've never heard that called symmetry. Trying to work out what you mean: "Geometric symmetry, reciprocity, karma, yin-and-yang... call it what you will" seems to be a list of a whole lot of totally different things, as if they're the same thing? Then it sounds like you just mean, "People are the same/similar to each other." I guess that's usually called 'equality' or 'similarity' or something. Uh and "Takes one to know one" sounds like a whole other thing too.

The other matter: In reply to People are usually being jerks, not thinking about others, supporting racist ideas, voting to put psychopaths in power.., you actually said all of the awful qualities you recognize in other people are every bit as prevalent--if not more so--in yourself -

So I take that as meaning, in this case, "You are as much a jerk, a sociopath, a racist, as them, if not more so". If it doesn't mean that, why say it? It's easy to say biblical platitudes without facing/admitting the actual meaning in the world, on a particular occasion, like this. If that's not true, then maybe what you said isn't right - that thing about all of the awful qualities you recognize in other people are every bit as prevalent--if not more so--in yourself. Maybe you think that because something like it's in the bible, it must be right.

Well, I guess this is a good example of "We are not all that different" - what you explained you mean in the end makes total sense.

Can you explain what you mean by 'discipline', especially in software engineering context? Is it doing test rigorously, code reviews etc? Or simple commited to deadlines and get things done?
Someone needs to create a tool that exercises your IDE and gives the impression of activity. You could run it in a VM while you get on with the real work.

>Are you seriously trying to claim that science is a perfect meritocracy?

I'm not making any particular claim about science. I'm making a general claim about reason: someone making a moral argument must provide some reason or evidence to support that argument. In this particular case, it means that if someone wants to make a claim that there is something morally wrong with the distribution of scientists with respect to some particular characteristic, the onus is on them to support their claim (refute the null hypothesis).
You are correct. I get a bit irritated when somebody claims to teach developers "all they need to know about cryptography" and goes on with explaining things they'd be happy to obsess on, instead of explaining things they _need to know_ to use cryptography securely.

These two pages themselves are important enough, these omissions are bad enough to disqualify any other effort in this book - cryptography is a tightly-knit system and making one or two mistakes simply nullifies the effect of making hundreds of correct decisions.

There are books on the subject which get it right, this is not the one.

It's like teaching people chinese gymnastics and saying it will protect you on the street - sooner or later someone has to punch you in the face for that.

Can someone please trace the origin of this imbecilic response? It comes up on practically every HN discussion now and proceeds from the assumption that the presence of contrary data is a logical fallacy.

I'm growing nostalgic for the days when HN posters just blindly asked for "citations" or suggested "imposter syndrome" as reflexive and ostensibly-intelligent counterarguments.

Maybe its time for vacuous catchphrase responses to be autoflagged as postmodern gibberish.

A 245 or something like that, of course the speed requirements will be critical. It will be a tricky modification to do properly if you want reliability. In the end it might not be worth it.
Isotope Filtering with Search and Buttons
'Tell me about yourself' is horrible advice for a real adult conversation. 'What do you do' is also bad. People prefer reflecting on what they like, how they feel, and what they want to do. No one wants to start defining, describing, or even alluding to their personal attributes, and no one really wants to hear about them.
maybe try visidata (http://visidata.org), it handles sqlite and postgres among others. But personally I've only used it for csv/tsv/excel files, it handles them beautifully, with vim-style bindings.
A group of persons can do many more than a person can do, even with relatively low bandwidth interconnections (speech, text, diagrams, gestures), coordination problems, and economics that has to waste resources on members' incentives (it's not wasted by majority opinion of the said members, of course).

Even in off-chance that you can't improve individual AIs beyond top humans, AI community can be way more intelligent and efficient than humanity, as it is possible to remove the limitations I wrote above. AI society can function as very efficient war economy. War economy shows that even humans can be persuaded/indoctrinated/brought up/whatever to set aside their inessential needs and work for common goal. And AIs will be necessarily more malleable.

So I can't see the idea that AI will be safe by default other than wishful thinking.
Stories like this make me realize how unfairly privileged I actually am by having the passport that I have. I can go damn near anywhere in the world without much fuss. But I was just lucky enough to be born on the right side of some line that somebody drew on a map at some time in the past. The folks a few km distant - on the other side of that line - don't have that same luxury.

It is kind of sad that we have this way of carving up the world into arbitrary pieces and calling us "us" and them "the enemy".

This is some of the most important work I’ve encountered in machine learning, to-date.
This looks incredibly cool, I love the speed and minimalism. It doesn't seem as configurable and feature-packed as vifm[1], so I'll probably stick with that, but it certainly fills a good niche.

> nnn vs. ncdu memory usage in disk usage analyzer mode (400K files on disk):

I assume that's because nnn isn't keeping the entire directory structure in memory, which means that browsing to a subdirectory involves rescanning the entire directory. That's a fair trade-off, but an unfair comparison.

Can you explain where the 2/3 and 3/2 powers come from?
As a scientist from a minority I would say that I found no barriers in science, except for merit. Talking about today’s science of course, no 19th century one.

I can accept that maybe there are still some barriers in some situations I am not aware of, but then the message should not be “more blacks in science” or “more women in science”.

That’s countereffective and humiliating for minority people: the focus should be on the barriers, if any, not on the headcount. We are not pandas in need of protection.
Well, the natives in those three countries were pretty much wiped out. Their descendants are still not doing so well compared to the descendants of those who came to exploit the land.
different countries, different experiences. the research was done in germany, and to a german student none of the kind of experiences you had are available.
It's easy to point out that this is caused by 'the internet' or 'modern technology' replacing the need for human interaction. We feel less alone but are more selective about our friends, live in smaller echo chambers.

In meatspace there's this thing where you want people to like you if you meet them, possibly enforced by the fact that someone might punch you if you rile them up. On the internet we select our own groups and then with group dynamics we try to be the 'cool kid' which results in maybe racist in-jokes or maybe in radicalization.

I really have no idea how to even begin solving this and if this has to be solved at all. It seems everyone's stance is hardening and we're drawing starker 'us vs them' lines or just aren't interested in others' plights as we can just select the small subset of people that fit with our current mindset.
DO you have a source on it actually being this? As far as I can tell it just happened to coencide with the relase of Schumers stand up special. Not sure where this spin of it being a gender issue is coming from other than to stir up unneeded drama.
Um the people in the confederate States were super neighborly and friendly. Not sure this is the cure-all recipe for avoiding antagonism between factions, or sections as they used to be called.
No, I’m saying that even if you think taxes are the only evil possible, slavery is effectively a 100% tax. So there is no possible sense in which it’s less bad.
Those have been the consensus opinion of the media the entire time the economist has been promoting them. The media exists to convey a false sense of consensus in order to cause people to go with the imaginary herd.
I use Thunar and avoid Nautilus pretty much for the same reasons. I like Thunar because it keeps things simple, and I have bash for anything complex, which a lot of my file operations tend to be. I'll check out spacefm and see what I think, thanks for the recommendation.
If this was an academic paper then maybe but it's a comment on a forum on a website and life is too short to marshal supporting evidence for every stated opinion.

So I put it to you again, do you agree with the statement or do you disagree?
I'm going to go on a bit of a tangent. There's one skill not mentioned here, but I think is the most valuable skill a programmer can learn, and many people take for granted. Know English. "Communication" here is related to that, but it's not the same. A lot programming resources are not accessible at all without passable English, and without very good English, there's a lot of them that will go over your head and you won't even know why. That's without even getting into the advantages that come from talking the Lingua Franca of programmers, and the collaboration opportunities that brings.

The Japanese masterplan is to build a national hydrogen infrastructure, with H2 delivered to buildings and homes where it would both power domestic fuel cells and be burnt for heat, as well as provide fuel for Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

The primary motivation is energy independence: currently, Japan is the world's largest importer of both coal and natural gas.

As H2 would be supplied by reformation of methane hydrates, it is still a fossil fuel and does not solve carbon emissions. But the idea is that emissions would be substantially reduced compared to the current situation, where a large portion of Japan's energy is supplied by burning imported coal and oil.

I'd bet a lot of the agencies you don't care for have a very important historical reason for existing. Don't like the FDA? Read "The Jungle." Don't like the FRA? Then you're leaving the safety of billions of tons of steel and coal crossing the paths of millions of Americans over 150,000 crossings to the whims of a half dozen companies.
Exotic locations make sense - no matter where on globe you put the conference pretty much everyone has to fly there, and half of the people have to fly around half the world; and renting a large venue in such a location generally is cheaper than the major metropolises, where costs sometimes are extreme.
I think this is pedantic. By your way of thinking, there is no racism, because we are all one race. The words are used to mean different things, with lots of historical connotations to boot. They are not so narrowly defined in respect to humans. Whilst you're correct biologically, language is a little more nuanced.
Nah. I despise "them" because they're pro-censorship pseudo intellectuals who largely judge policies based on percieved intentions rather than outcomes. Sometimes somebody is just wrong. Sometimes a side is just stupid or evil and it's as simple as that.
Note that many US states also have sodomy laws, so in those states you’ve just got to hope that the 2003 Supreme Court decision sticks around.

Copying multiple files regularly I recommend using Python Fabric.
Some people have mentioned communication and I guess a very important subcategory is negotiation skills. I feel most devs are bad negotiators especially when thinking about hourly rates and the like. And (in my view) earning a good income is very important, so you can retire early for example. Or perhaps work less hours (might be difficult in the US, but in The Netherlands a lot of people work 4 days a week, for example).
I'm considering the smaller 5 door vehicles to be crossovers. A puffed up boxed out sedan with a hatch. For example the Subaru Impreza hatch.

Those have fallen out of favor for full-sized SUVs.
The core issue IMO is resilience to rejection and the work required for friendships.

Not everyone wants to be your friend, and it's easier to learn that from the internet, not only because of hate, but even casual twitter dunks.

When you do find someone you click with, it's work on both sides, and if both sides don't put in some work, it deteriorates.

The easy way out is a lot of shallow interactions that require little work where no one really gets to know you. Rejection doesn't sting as much because you can just go change a username.

Personally I think this article gets it wrong: people are already radicalized and seem lonely because they don't find any other radicals to hang out with. People who turn to angry politics just to fill the shallow social interaction checkbox are probably a small percentage of lonely people.
I believe that identity may affect a person’s ability to do science, since there’s a correlations between identity and economic status.

That said, science is about equality of opportunities, not about equality of outcomes.

This means that we should of course strive for having easier access to universities for people of all backgrounds.

But after that Academia is PURE meritocracy.

Anyone who fights for more graduates with a certain identity, or more researchers with a certain identity, or more professors with a certain identity is SEVERELY misguided.
I prefer "tell me more about that" when you have already touched on a topic briefly that you are genuinely interested in knowing more about. Less abrubt when it's mid conversation and sounds less like an order.

As an extension to that, as someone else who has a french "powerful passport", you get so used to it that you feel very bothered when you actually need to get a visa for some place. Or worse, when you plan to go somewhere and a member of your group is not from such a country and needs a visa for a place that you didn't expect him to need one for.

I'm glad it's like this for me, and I hope the world can keep moving forward in that direction (as an european I'm kind of used to no borders between countries, the same way US people move between states); but at the same time I'm not sure how healthy it is to have such privileges and not even recognize them as such anymore.

I guess this is what causes the people from "our" countries calling themselves expat rather than immigrants (we've had a case this week again, where an english immigrant in France complained on twitter about immigrants coming to France ...).

I believe remembering what is a privilege you are lucky have is important, maybe if we were better at that we would have less on the modern "social stupidity" issues (another matter entirely but if people knew how lucky they were of not having polio and/or knew someone related to them who got it, they would be much less likely to avoid vaccination ...).
Nodejs web frameworks in the world of serverless
Author of `nnn` here. Thanks for the appreciation.

Please let us know what you like in vifm which isn't available in `nnn` and we will consider the features. However, I must say the last thing we want to see in `nnn` is feature bloat. You can extend it as you wish through scripts which `nnn` supports in any number.

No, `nnn` scans the complete dir tree otherwise du won't work. It rescans because data on disks keep changing e.g. on our server where 17 people run VMs. It can be easily changed to static but the rescan is very fast and users specifically asked for it. The memory usage is less because `nnn` uses much less memory for all operations in general.
This is really pushing it now. Kubernetes is great for numerous applications, but it is far from necessary in many applications too.
It's of course a cultural thing rather than a single unifiying rule. In the South of the United States strangers strike up conversations and I can ask people about themselves without it being weird. In the North of the United States, I wouldn't bother unless I already knew someone well and if I know them well why am I asking them for?

Wouldn't do it in Japan, Germany or Scandinavia; would do it many other countries.
Science is probably the most meritocratic field in the world.
Bump up to the comment I commented on. That said something along the lines of "but there's plenty of money for pilelines."

Surviving crashes is nice. Avoiding them is even better, and that's been the main safety development between 1940 and now. Better tires, way better brakes, better suspensions, dramatically improved handling, hydro-assisted braking, ABS, ESP, EBD... On top of that you have all the recent innovations in computer-assisted driving, like automatic emergency braking, lane-checking, rear view cameras and sensors, car-following cruise control...

Thanks, that page is nice, but it too emphasizes that you also need a clock. That's essential and it was the point I was trying to make. For example, a thing that is usually glossed over in OS courses (in favor of, let's say, scheduling algorithms and such) is that you simply can't make preemptive multitasking out of pure code - and later when you ask yourself how is it that such a phenomenon is possible in the first place you learn that chips are inherently parallel, that sequential code is an abstraction over that so that one can have some sort of law and order, and only then interrupts enter the scene so that one may break that order when needed, e.g. for preemption.
Primary extraction (mining, farming, forestry, fishing) is something like 6% of the global economy.

On average, the things you or I use consist of 6% exploitation of natural resources and 94% of labor after that. Natural resources are important, but now (as opposed to 19th century) they are a tiny part of what we make and use, they are not the main part of wealth.
