I worked at a financial services company that created portfolio analytics software. My job pretty much consisted of turning our analysts' excel models into high performance Scala code.

The company wasn't very successful, we just couldn't convince portfolio managers to pay for our software. Even the analysts at hedge funds didn't like to use our software. My theory is that a bunch of analysts need to justify their jobs with incredibly inefficient and error-prone excel workflows. Our software would have eliminated a lot of what they do in a day, and therefore, would eliminate their jobs as well.

It is terrifying that trillions of dollars of assets are run on excel, but the inertia is too strong.

> I know plenty of fat people who eat three times a day and are obsessed with food.

You're taking the analogy in the wrong direction. The point is that the person who is trying to stop eating is obsessed with food, not that "people who eat three times a day are never obsessed with food". The point is that sex is a part of life, and trying to stifle pornography and prostitution is as misguided and counterproductive as trying to stop eating.

> Prostitution and pornography are also markers for human trafficking.

And why is that? Because it's illegal and unregulated. You're accidentally making a circular argument here: it's illegal, therefore the actors in the industry tend to be Bad People, so they contribute to the degradation of society, therefore it should be illegal? Look at Prohibition, or the legalization of marijuana in the US. It's not the thing itself that leads to degradation, it's the unwillingness to be mature about it.
I wasn't even going to go the inevitable "nazi comparison" direction, one can make a sound argument based on sub-cultural oppression leading largely towards genocide going on in a handful of different countries even now and it avoids ratholing on the third rail that is "nazis".

Strong growth in global CO2 emissions expected for 2018
I said the same to myself as I looked over my shoulder at the millennials in ~2000. I was sure that the couple of glorious working years I’d had so far – glorious because of the rate I was getting compared to the work I had to do – would soon be over.

It never happened. The millennials, as a whole, don’t sit in front of Python any more than my generation do (I’m 42). And if anything, the number that do is getting lower. At least I had a ZX Spectrum 48+ to hack around with when I was a kid. I had to code to load a game, even if it was just `10 LOAD`! Kids now just hit a button on their iPad.

Well, for starters, to add contextual meaning to the words you searched for, they probably have a pretty good language model in the background.

That model was likely build with sources such as the English Wikipedia, and their archive of a few million books. So the space at the bottom of the page may be getting a little tight by now.
Rotations also don’t make sense for product or domain specialists, or people with career aspirations to focus on one specialization. As an ML engineer, I would quit immediately if I had to go through a rotation doing web development. But if you ask me to do occasional web development to deliver my ML product to customers, I’ll do it whole heartedly and solve it very fast.
Another commentor describes the key handshake. The car emits a high frequency wake up signal, the key receives the signal and emits a low frequency unlock code. It is hard to restrict the time of the unlock code because it's low frequency limits the accuracy of your clock.

Could you Honeypot the cars wake up signal? If the car detects a delayed broadcast of it's wake up signal it could trigger an alarm or at disable keyless entry. The high frequency signal will have lower tolerances for a timing check.

Or car makers can provide Honeypot keys. If the key receives a wake up signal it can alert the owner and disable keyless entry. The owner would put the Honeypots where they don't want their keys to activate.
Damn very nice summary. I do think the kids in school thing, however, is more of a symptom of our generation as parents- they love staying up late, thus keeping their kids up late. just sayin... that being said - NOT A PARENT!

When I've stayed over at friends house (who are parents) they have very strict go to bed times for their kids. THOSE darn crazy kids are up at 5 or 5:30 banging around the house full of energy.
So far as I'm aware, Microsoft's Ink controls have never had Win32 versions. For a few years they were System.Windows.Forms-only, for many more years they were WPF-only, and now the latest versions are UWP-only. That's a pretty core component part of OneNote. I don't think OneNote was WPF for all of its history, but there was certainly a time where a large percentage of it was WPF, from what I've heard. Which is also why I've heard OneNote led the vanguard to UWP and has been the Fluent Design 2.0 test bed for where Office's Fluent Design is moving, because it was the easiest to integrate UWP controls into the fastest.
True, the solution isn't perfect. Just brainstorming ideas that can potentially be coupled with other layers of security. The advantage of the idea is it doesn't rely on the user activating a secure mode or knowing about the vulnerability. The protection is automatic when you're asleep. Arguably if you're walking, not a large amount of that time is near your front door - although I understand your location may still be predictable.

I've been both an interviewee and an interviewer and honestly, in both roles, I prefer pseudo code.

As an interviewer, it gives me a chance to step back from noticing syntax errors and lets me focus on how the candidate thinks, reasons and explains her way through problems.

As an interviewee, I prefer pseudo code because I don't have to worry about syntax or minute details of a language. Instead, I can just focus on communicating how I'm working through the problem.
By that logic things should get more expensive, not cheaper, as the demand increases.

To put it another way, why wouldn't someone undercut the current suppliers and sell at just above their marginal cost and take over the whole market.
I've dived into the postgres code recently and it was incredible. Lisp legacy is all over the place, it's literally lisp in C, though unlike many "Langname-styled C" codebases it looks really clean and organic.

I'm still confused how people prefer oracle [1] other postgres.

I've a love and hate relationship with triggers, but I just need to say triggers don't have that much overhead if done correctly. 99% of businesses don't have a scaling concern, and triggers will do them well if they use it to capture mandatory rules instead of trying to implement it at the application layer. It's a pain when misused. The key thing is to reason about your user permission/roles correctly so that you don't end up with cascading failures when adding new triggers.

> What laws did Facebook break that warranted seizing and publishing internal documents?

Parliament is sovereign. Facebook ignored Parliament. That is tantamount to blowing off an American court order.

More pointedly, Facebook has broken their agreements on keeping WhatsApp and Facebook data separate. These e-mails further show Onavo and Facebook conspiring to hide their intent around data collection users, which likely breaks British privacy and honest trade law.

No, I want to talk about the idea they expressed, not what you read into it. I can only do that with them.

> ...yes? Of course? I don't automatically dehumanize

Who's talking about dehumanizing? How is considering someone a thief dehumanizing?

edit2: Facebook is a company. It can't be dehumanized, it's not a person in the first place. People in it are responsible for what they do. Someone who fought shitty decision and then left is different than someone who, say, hires a firm to smear critics. That goes without saying as far as I'm concerned. But my thief example refers to Facebook, you see? Just because apparently my argument isn't easy to follow for everyone, doesn't mean it doesn't stand.

So, where is the dehumanization? Who is being dehumanized when someone comes to the conclusion that FB is on the whole "bad"? Because we're not appreciating all the good, supposedly? When someone is a thief, or a murderer, or a company is, then all their fantastic properties they may have is interesting for their personal friends. But not to the police, judges, or wider society. They know that the person has probably a lot of reasons for how they became that way, and nice sides to them, but they already have their own friends, it's simply completely out of scope of the subject at hand, unless it's directly related to the "crime".

> Like, doesn't Facebook collaborate with law enforcement in tracking down predators and scammers and the like?

Yes, and that thief who sometimes robs elderly women who then freeze to death outside, also has child, and he's very great with that child, and he's singing in a choir, and all sorts of great things. But you don't judge a meal by the freshest ingredients, but by the most spoiled. You judge a person by their worst deeds, and likewise a company. Again, we're talking about judgement with a capital justice here, not being friends, thinking we're better, or thinking they're evil and we're good, or any of that.

> You should remember enough to make a proper argument, dude.

I think my argument is just fine, and it even seems to get to you a little.

edit: And what post of mine are you even referring to? Where did I make an argument without examples? I was responding to someone else complaining that everyone who thinks Facebook is "evil" (let's just say bad) is operating on a premise. I was responding to that general point, I'm not decebalus1, who in turn didn't have "Facebook is evil" as their main point either.

Their main point, if you would follow the guidelines, hasn't been addressed by anyone. Their main point is the first two paragraphs, the rest is bonus. How come you are trying to teach how to "make a proper argument, dude", but didn't notice that?

Oh, and clicking buttons instead of reasoning kinda gives away who is interested in discussion, and who is interested in dehumanization and censorship.

Surprised to get downvoted for asking a question to see if others have found the same thing. I'm not passing judgment — I have a background in linguistics and see grammar/usage as descriptive, not prescriptive. I just wondered if usage was different in the UK. Sorry if this was misconstrued as passing judgment, or something else that apparently warrants downvotes.

All "public" insurers in Germany are private companies as well. They are all required to provide the same level of service and they all cost nearly the same.

There are separate private insurers that are cheaper when you're younger and more expensive as you age, but that's a parallel system and you must earn over 40k Euro/yr. to purchase that (or be a state employee for some weird reason).
For a long time Postgres was the quintessential example of how open sources projects are driven by developers who love to add all kinds of cool, whiz-bang features... but there wasn't boring enterprise features like incremental backups because that's no fun to write and test.

Fun example of this: last week I was trying to figure out all the floating point operations that can produce NaN. Go ahead and try searching Google for "ways to make nan"; it's going to show you dozens of pages of naan recipes, and there isn't even a link to click to make it actually search for what you've typed (instead there's a link for Did you mean "ways to make naan"?, which shows a different set of naan recipes).
The DLR was only going to ever work out for dynamic languages, and even then I think it was pretty limited to class-based ones like Python and Ruby.

Unfortunately, the DLR seems to be pretty much deprecated at this point. Its a shame, I was able to do great things with the run-time generation API (which now defaults to an interpreter in UWP).
Disagreed.

You should personally should choose the lesser of two evils when those are your only choices. Promoting the lesser evil is not such an easy call though.

From a practical standpoint, promoting an evil, even if it's a lesser evil, has the potential for harming your own reputation as a reliable source.

It is also fundamentally morally questionable, of course what is morally right and wrong is a matter of much debate. Suppose a psycopath calls you up and says "I'm going to do one of two things, shoot a random 5 year old named Joseph, or shoot two random 5 year olds named Kate, which should I do?". Assume for the hypothetical that you know they are telling the truth, and there is nothing you can do about the situation but choosing what you say back. In my view of the world saying "shoot Joseph" still makes you morally culpable, even though you were avoiding a worse situation.

Thank you for keeping a unified dispatch/selection algorithm in D! I feel that in language design, simplifying/streamlining the programmer's mental model is often undervalued compared to "but you would expect X to happen in this situation". Case in point, operator precedence hierarchy compared to uniform application a la Lisp and Smalltalk. I personally gladly accept some up-front weirdness if it gives me long-term uniformity.

PS. I also had a pleasant time when I finally grokked Lisp's CLOS generic method partial ordering. It even gives you the ordering on demand as part of the meta-object protocol:

This is repeated so much but it’s just wrong. Companies are usually very socially toxic places, and the definition of “bad hire” is usually subverted to mean “does not capitulate to our bad monoculture.” It has nothing to do with hiring positive people, skilled people, etc.

Agreed. But I don't think UWP uses generics very much (if at all) either.

That's why I said "very easily". I'm not saying it's necessarily the friend's fault, but the trigger is one of your friends clicking "Accept" on one of these apps.

I'm also just clarifying what happened, because people don't seem to understand how any of it works. "Facebook sells your data" is very far from reality, and yet the reality can be considered just as bad.

No doubt it could break things, and I am sure that some of the less popular packages installed via softalicious and the like may have that kindof problem - however I think that has been solved, and a while ago.

When you install wordpress via softalicious these days (maybe not this way some years ago) - but with most installs there are backend options within the softalicious isntaller you can check off like "auto update wordpress core, other checkboxes to auto update plugins" - auto backup weekly, monthly, etc.

Wordpress also has options within it's backend that allow you to manually update core or plugins and themes, all seperately, grouped, or at regular intervals with plugins or other settings - so updating things is an option even if the auto-installer won't do it for you.

There was a time some years ago when the WP people said auti-instllers srewed up updates and there were some real issues (like file permissions wrong) - but I have not seen any of those kinds of issues in years.

I like the way your app sounds - especially if it can run on phones and tablets in a similar way. I hope things like this become easier to add to routers.

The more easier to install things the better, so long as security patches are default easy too.

So I know your comment is a bit tongue in cheek, but there are real concerns about the last two points that people may not realize. At many large orginizations the outside vendor may be the _only_ real technical capabilities that team has so there is no solution other then "outsourcing" to the vendor's support team.

Budgets have similar incentives that make teams want to keep a large budget around even if they could get the job done with less resources. That slush money comes in handy to have the vendor do all sorts of work that isn't really about getting their system running ( i.e. doing all the integration with other parts of your stack )

I think lots of open source products or smaller teams think winning those "Enterprise" deals is about having the better product and checking some boxes on a requirements sheet. When you get into enterprise its all about the relationships
For me it was often 90 minutes to get home, but about 30 minutes into the trip we would drive right by my house. Problem was, it was on the other side of the street, and they wouldn't let me cross. This was in middle school, on a street that I crossed by myself all the time.
