First, I think it's important to distinguish justice from moral responsibility. Punishment and rehabilitation are about justice. Free will is about identifying who is morally responsible. So accepting free will doesn't automatically mean you can punish wrongdoers.

Second, I'm not sure what you mean by "mirrors reality". The debate surrounding free will is about defining the term and its properties and how it's a factor in moral responsibility. To do so, it must provide a justifiable framework for moral reasoning and our moral language to make sense of how we use the term. Compatibilism convincingly meets the necessary criteria, and that's why it's the majority view.

The holdouts are people who insist free will must have certain properties that Compatibilism probably doesn't have, but they haven't been able to argue this convincingly enough to persuade a majority.

Same here w/o fancy tooling around Git, but a couple of aliases.

I will refuse to use any Git tools or UIs, but the standard CLI, until the end of my career.

Besides that, my IDE/Editor is neither a build tool manager nor should it run my app from within an integrated console having specific settings. The projects people are going to inherit from me will always be editor-agnostic, the environment they run in will never depend on a certain setup that can‘t be documented clearly and they will always run within an isolated context, i.e. the project root.
Its a whitewashing term carefully chosen. It is a right-wing goal to destroy unions as they might benefit of the lower or middle classes. As the rich and powerful do not serve the people, but only themselves, they favor laws that help companies, not workers.
Right, the web has never figured out how to scale password UX. There are reasons websites don't intentionally use HTTP Basic/Digest Auth in 2018, beyond the basic implementation details that Basic/Digest aren't particularly secure. Most websites don't want a consistent user interface for password input. Login interfaces are important places to put branding, and include security theater to help users feel safe. The login page is the welcome mat of the web, and every site has a different idea of how it should be experienced, partly because that's a differentiator they want.
NeXT was an unintentional Apple skunkworks.
I use vscode with the rust (rls) extension. It's not perfect. Sometimes when I edit cargo files it gets stuck and isn't recompiling my code. When that happens, I just ctrl-shift-p and select "reload window" and it's fixed in a couple seconds. It's not ideal, but it gets the job done and it's better than manually compiling my code.
Probably nothing, since it's more a meme than anything else.

There's no excuse for plaintext passwords in 2019. Even the barest of frameworks provided mechanisms to hash and salt the damn things years before 2013.

Not salting/hashing at this point is more than a disservice, it's the equivalent of deliberately not washing your hands after wiping your ass, then going on to serve sandwiches.
No, it's a tooling problem. Rust is a static language with a good type system.
The link says that it's up to the implementation, which means it's valid for Python's JSON implementation to support larger numbers.

It's less "interoperable" but not strictly invalid, by my read.
I stumbled onto this while looking for something completely different (the book by Michael Gazzaniga), and found it interesting enough to share.

I was intrigued by the idea in these paragraphs about three different kinds of knowledge: of the world, of one's mind, and of other minds.

> There are three broad domains of knowledge that, taken together, seem to exhaust what it is that we can know or conceive of knowing. The first is the simplest to describe—it is knowledge of the nonsocial environment, the world we share with others. The common-sense view is that this domain of knowledge is shared, public, and hence objective in that sense. How we come to acquire this knowledge is also no mystery—through our senses and perception of the world (although the acquisition of such knowledge already depends on learning, selection, and categorization mechanisms that are in part innate). Although the kinds of inferences that we make about the world are certainly complex, it seems that much of this domain of knowledge is shared with other animals. Like us, mice, cats, dogs, and monkeys know about objects in the world, the properties they possess, and the events they transact; they know something about which objects are good and which are bad, and they direct their behavior accordingly.

> The second and third domains of knowledge are more mysterious, and it is unclear to what extent, if at all, other animals have access to them. These are knowledge of other minds, and knowledge of our own mind. Although many biologists who study social behavior in animals treat their processing of social information as an issue in perception that is just a special instance of the first category discussed above, some, especially those working with primates, focus on knowledge of one's own and others' minds. Workhorse tasks have been devised to assess the abilities in question: deception as a test for knowledge of other minds, and mirror self-recognition as a test for self-knowledge.

Well, Opera uses Blink, and apparently according to some folks in this thread that is equivalent to using 'big bad Chrome'
"Real men don't use mice" was a common saying at that time.
> Stack Exchange advertises

Yeah, but I get the feeling that it didn't start with the purpose of advertising. Haven't really looked into its history to know for sure, though.

> I'm not really opposed to topical advertising. And I'm not even particularly opposed to targeting. Showing ads for Databricks alongside a Stack Overflow question about Apache Spark is fine by me (just so long as it isn't a popup or an auto-playing video). That's no creepier than advertising car stuff in a car magazine.

I wouldn't be opposed to tracking if that's all it ever amounted to, either. In fact, your example doesn't seem to involve tracking. Deciding what to show based on the content of the page doesn't imply using any knowledge of you from other sources.

EDIT: Anyway, what's worrying of tracking is that it makes the buying and selling of personal information a viable and profitable business. It's not worrying if you think that such a business can only be used for showing ads you're interested in everywhere you go. In fact, that's a benefit to anybody, and that's what makes it a good public justification for it by the companies that do this tracking.

However, that's not the only way people can apply your personal information. For example, businesses can also use it to personalize the prices for the products and services they offer based on indicators they bought of your purchasing power. Insurance companies can use a lot more than indicators of your purchasing power to know how to quote you, probably getting their hands on knowledge that by law they probably shouldn't be able to get their hands on to avoid unfair discrimination. There's regulations of what businesses can ask of employee candidates to avoid unfair discrimination, but they won't need to ask anymore if they can just buy the info online.
There are a significant number of committers outside Google, yes.

The main part of Chromium that matters here is the content layer and below. The biggest single piece of that is Blink, which already uses a governance model with public intent-to-implement/ship notices that anyone can propose or give feedback on.

The single largest group of committers are employed by Google, but there have been increasing contributions, including to core function and direction, from external people; for example, Opera folks were key in helping change the memory model in Blink ("Oilpan").
>People who use Firefox in the future will increasingly be people who do so consciously, presumably because they view Mozilla as helping them protect their privacy. Chrome is and will continue to be the default.

Honestly, the only reason I use Firefox is because it supports vertical tabs and Chrome doesn't. Maybe you should start advertising features that are more immediately visible than privacy.
Which is weird because with all of its inconsistencies, git must have been designed with the idea that someone would build a sensible shell over top of it. I can't imagine Linus expected people to interact directly with git when he built it.

You can develop native apps in languages that range from ok, to really good (Java -> Swift). Javascript is a terrible language for many reasons (lack of a decent standard lib, weak typing, foot guns galore, psychotic build pipeline and tooling...). React Native encourages more JS development so I dislike it for that reason.
That's not a bug.

My job involves interviewing many engineering candidates, and I see the issue with typing all the time. A competent Java dev is at a disadvantage compared to a competent Python dev, simply because it's statically typed and more verbose, meaning there are more lines of code which means more small problems that can arise. That matters greatly in a short, time-boxed context.

Helping your child with reading fluency
City children four times more lonely than those in countryside
My English perhaps led me to express concept in an a bit convoluted, misleading or less effective way... What I intend is simply that Vim is a powerful editor, Emacs is a sort of OS. How can you compare them outside the editor part?

An example Emacs is my WM with EXWM (and few people use it even as a terminal login shell): can Vim act as a WM? It's also my MUA, and I do not know any Vim MUA, only few hacks mostly to compose a message (while some MUAs and many different apps offer Vim-like keybindings being effective, comfortable). It's also my personal finance manager, my pdf reader, it feature a built-in CAS not at the level of Maxima (supported by iMaxima as a wrapper-UI) but not marginal that can do symbolic, numeric, times, unit conversion, astronomical calculations, it have a shell that's a built-in REPL, ...

Without the intention of fuel a potential flame Emacs can be even a Vim emulator with Evil&c and it's existence and popularity clearly prize Vim as an editor.

As editors for me they are substantially on par, nvim offer also few nice non-editor things like a terminal-emulator that works better than sane-term/ansi-term on Emacs, it's startup time is super quick compared to Emacs but common ground end here. Of course Emacs is a text-centric UI so you may say that "being an editor" can also means being a full featured operating environment, that's true, but no Vim devs nor user I know have tried to do so with Vim while many do it with Emacs not only today but even many, many years ago. One of the nicest old post I found is http://www.sxemacs.org/ from the early 2000's just as an example.

Perhaps sometime in the future Vim or a Vim fork will try and do even a better job than Emacs, but that's only an hypothesis, not something that can be compared now.
We've actually considered adding it to the list, but as the information we found was either very scarce, unverifiable or unofficial, so we had to make the choice to leave it out for the time being. It's on our task list though, that's for the good idea!
Getting a job at a large tech company like Google, Facebook, Amazon, or a startup, will likely teach you about applied ML much quicker than a school will (with likely much higher pay too). I guess it depends on your end goal though. Working at a university is typically pretty relaxed, so it probably is a no brainer, especially if you get some type of pension.
I don't think it's aggressive at all. They're literally presenting a language. A language. They talk about its virtues but I mean come on, how do you introduce a language?

Building Blocks for AR: A Conversation with Ubiquity6
I prefer to prepare the datasets first, and not depend on the order of evaluation (which you may fail to predict correctly):

select * from some_table
join (select rand() as random_id) on
some_table.the_id = random_id

This way it is obvious that rand() will be evaluated only once.
The only thing better would be an open source database with this information. Then Amazon Google, Apple and Microsoft could all use it.

Maybe it can be made part of Wikipedia?

Tellurium, like e.g. gold, is rare on Earth but not a rare earth element. CdTe panels aren't terrible for the environment either. They have a faster energy payback time than crystalline silicon. The cadmium doesn't leak out of the panel any more than arsenic leaks out of cell phone power amplifiers. But CdTe modules have lost ground to crystalline silicon panels because c-Si has reduced costs faster. There's just one significant producer of CdTe modules today, First Solar.

NiMH batteries do contain mixed rare earth elements (mostly lanthanum), but the particular elements used are fairly abundant. And of course NiMH batteries look like they can't keep up with lithium ion and will see their niche shrinking further.

As a web developer, why would I even care about that? I care more about whether it adheres to web standards; or in the absence of a standard, whether it is in-line with other leading browsers.

If all of our leading browsers use the same engine, the answer to that is one and the same.

I mean, I get the point you're trying to make, but the argument doesn't really fit with what I'm saying. As far as I'm concerned go ahead and rewrite Blink in Rust or Go or Common Lisp. As long as it is the main engine, or adheres to the web standards, it really makes no difference to me.

Surprisingly, I have not lived at the time of the American Revolution. Neither have you.

If you don't mind, I have a couple of questions at the bottom.

This is from what is said to be the post in question, cached here: https://outline.com/RVSLKq

"On a personal note, at least two or three times a day, every day, a colleague at MPK [Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park] will look directly at me and tap or hold their wallet or shove their hands down their pocket to clutch it tightly until I pass. The frequency is even higher when walking through Classic campus or Building 20. To feel like an oddity at your own place of employment because of the color of your skin while passing posters reminding you to be your authentic self feels in itself inauthentic."

So I'm a pretty typical privileged white guy working for Facebook at MPK. I care about diversity, and more importantly, I acknowledge these kinds of problem, even without knowing most of the details.

This just blows me away:
"...a colleague ... will look directly at me and tap or hold their wallet or shove their hands down their pocket to clutch it tightly until I pass..."

So first, I'll just ask: does this mirror your experience?

Can you talk more about that?

What can I do to help my peers not be physically afraid of black people??

Thanks for your attention.
Not sure why you're downvoted. This is a concern. In my company, I downloaded VS Code to use it with F# for a toy project. But when I saw you cannot disable all data collection, I pretty much uninstalled it.

Most likely there is no IP risk, but I did not want to go through the trouble of finding out precisely what data is collected, and/or cross check with our legal department.

Plenty of people at the company do use VSCode, so I'm sure eventually IT will simply provide it to us through their own software repository (as they do for Visual Studio).
Sometimes that isn't possible (unexpected leaving). That's when you'll really value the personal phone. Some companies are dicks about it also, which can be a concern.
No one is talking about "cheating".

> I understand the french-are-liberal trope, but, as an American, I view countries like Canada, France, and Germany as way farther left than the US.

Sure, most Western countries are; by the standard of most other developed Western, the dominant faction of the Democratic Party is somewhere between center-right and right-wing, while the Republican Party as a whole (not just it's extremist fringe) is far-right. But that doesn't mean that other countries don't have as much (or, often, more) left-right range as the US, just different centers.
WebKit is the dominant engine because it's what powers Webviews on Android.
I think it's constructive to point out that maybe the entire project, being a "hack" of sorts that tends to breed more hacks and more debt, ultimately isn't useful or valuable. The idea is wonderful, but in practice I still have to maintain cross-platform code that has nothing to do with wireup, and honestly think everyone should seriously consider writing portable code and plugging it into truly native projects.

React Native multiplies the complexity of a project so much that IMHO it completely negates its own usefulness.
Ouch, that's almost as bad as the Mars Climate Orbiter mishap.
It's a good text editor, first and foremost. Compared to netbeans, eclipse, visual studio, even intellj idea in my opinion. The same thing that made textmate, then sublime text successful made VSC successful. I takes a few seconds to launch, even on my celeron machine with 2Gigs of RAM, it's relatively minimal and unlike intellj it doesn't appear to be analyzing my whole hard drive for hours for no reason...

the irony is that Microsoft did hire Eclipse creator to work on that product... hopefully it doesn't end up bloated. Having an open spec for language servers is also a smart move. While others have their proprietary, often non speced protocol, now any text editor can implement the same protocol and basically use any language server already developed.

So kudos for Microsoft, it's a great piece of engineering.
Web dev tools are something I have to take people's word for (and, to be clear, have no reason to doubt) since I don't do that kind of work so I have no clue what makes for good tools versus bad ones. But, my overall point still stands: If this is such a major failing in Firefox, is there nobody passionate enough to help keep a browser--that lots of people claim to want to use but for those tools--up to par with the competition?
Taxis doesn't seem like a business where there are economies of scale from having a larger global footprint. Uber may have a small advantage in software costs, but labor and equipment must be the largest costs, and the labor is bringing the equipment for the most part; Uber may be able to do better on leases than Lyft, but I'm not sure how much of their earnings are coming from that.
