The article doesn't contain the voices I would expect. I'm wondering whether that is an article bias, or just that those voices aren't present.

I don't know the ideology of the newspaper, I don't know the local politics. Which is why I asked the question.

No offense was intended.
When you’re unwell the focus is naturally more on the self than others.

Vitamin D does wonders.
I saw this a bunch in my next job after Marsh, which was analytics consulting. I'm not sure about Marsh doing this (at least internally), but who knows with Sun.

Isn't it pretty uncontroversial that AI and automation will only worse inequality?

We can only hope that the inevitable revolutions to come will not be crushed by the all-seeing AI surveillance and AI-powered robot armies of our wealthy overlords before they even get a chance to become a threat to them.

Supreme Leader Xi of China is certainly hoping that this will be the outcome of the government's aggressive investment in AI technologies.
Eh, I can buy it. But how many Chinese elites can we find to arrest in North America?

Aside from the fact that it's morally reprehensible...

The author says that JPEG-XRs are decoded on "the software-side on the CPU" a couple of times that it seems like it might be a term of art but it sounds very awkward to me.

Is the TLDR actually "jpeg xr implementation is poorly optimized and negatively affects browser performance which decreased conversions."
The CPU portion of JPEG decoding is relatively cheap (just Huffman + RLE) and easy to parallelize (DCT blocks are independent). Conversion and upsampling of YCbCr can be done on the fly on the GPU, and this even saves memory compared to using raw RGB/RGBA bitmaps.

Other formats use more expensive entropy coding, more block sizes, smoothing filters, and inter-block prediction which forces them to be decoded mostly serially.
The problem is that a lot of C devs have been coding in C and only in C all their lives. They cannot accept that people coming from other languages want to be able to read their code, or that a security audit needs to be done over thousands and thousands of their lines and that these C hacks are an awful thing to read for someone who wants to quickly review the code.
Thanks! I had forgotten about that module.
So, we had something like that in NL for self employed people that have their own holding company ("pensioen in eigen beheer"). That got axed because 'reasons' and your options to save your pension for the future got changed into 'deal with these large corporations', or pay your higher bracket income tax today and hope the money you save will be worth something by the time you need it.

I'm doing the latter and dumping it all into real estate, that seems to be the best bet at the moment.
Did you know in .Net strings are immutable? Neither did the guy at Google when he asked me to do some "in place" string fiddling algorithm or that guy at Amazon who wanted to reverse the strings in a sentence (yes there's a trick to that one found in some 80s programming book)
This type of control is still possible on android devices?!

I had given up on buying new devices because of how restrictive and abusive phone manufacturers have become towards their customers. If adb can really do what you say it can, maybe I can finally upgrade my phone after all these years. Can you recommend an online article that goes over using `adb` like this? (especially for disabling locked apps)
He does provide information later in the book: an explicit policy to no longer promote white males. That policy was communicated to him by his boss, and was one of his primary motivations to become self employed.
Others visit their site. Some sites are very popular. It never stays on the internet, and its not all about what I'm seeing. Imagine a billboard that says "Joe is a deviant criminal". It's ok, I should just not drive that way again?

Considering the target of the common prescription for ADHD is dopamine transporter, this finding seems a no-brainer

Going into debt for an education that is sold as a ticket to higher wages and then being punished in employment and housing for debt you took on and were unable to repay is punitive. It's not just about getting further lines of credit, it's about being able to land a job or find a place to live. Oh and I forgot to even mention debt related to medical expenses. That's a huge issue in the US...

Weird to jump to the conclusion that I'm not American, but whatever.
I hadn't thought of this to be honest, but I do faintly remember the IT / Dev team using the "not technically feasible" line a bunch whenever Marketing would come through with stuff. Used to get me angry quite a bit and I saw it translate a bunch to lost revenue and increased costs.

I don't know how much of this got sent out of Marsh and up to Sun though.
The actual study is here: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-the-inter...

This study is primarily new because it examined preschoolers. Most studies that have previously shown structural brain differences are of school aged children.

> Somewhere we went wrong

Yes. The moment we brought up the chant of "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me". The brain can break the same way your legs or arms can and the "just tough it out" answer is not an answer at all.

No one would suggest you should just not visit a neighborhood if people there attacked you. The proof that the web should be a special case because "muh, free speech above all" is very flimsy.
The first and last yes absolutely, though aim a conservative Brit and how Americans reconcile themselves to your health insurance (or lack of it) system really baffles me.

Mortgages aren’t as clear cut. Our mortgages have been the backbone of my family’s current financial security. After all the idea is at the end you own your house. Interest only mortgages not so much of course and it requires that the house ends up being worth the cost, but I’m talking about the general case.
Thanks! I had tried Ctrl+V followed by the character from the caret notation (e.g., "Ctrl+V \", instead of "Ctrl+V Ctrl+\"), and that hadn't worked.
It seems to me that republicans are perfectly fine with others suffering, and misery as long as it doesn't affect them.

Disguised Social Darwinism.

The problem is most are unaware that their success is 99% luck of being born in certain circumstances.
To me the bigger culprit is the unfunded pension as a tool of retirement planning. Unfunded pensions are failing or on the brink of failing almost everywhere they are tried. It's a huge scandal and deeply immoral IMO. I read the other day that NYC alone has over $100bn in unfunded pension liabilities. There is simply no budget to pay that down. Unfunded pensions taking down numerous economies in Europe.

There is a county in Georgia (Sandy Springs) that effectively went private. Rather than offering a state pension to their employees (other than ones they were legally required to), they calculated the value of the pension contribution they would make and simply tacked it on to employee salaries. I personally think this is a good approach (with some room for incentives that help protect people from themselves).

Note: not trying to mount a defense of PE - often people ask what is the purpose/role or value of PE in society. In a somewhat perverted sense, this is it. There are not many mechanisms that can almost instantly re-habilitate an enterprise that was mismanaged or made severely consequential long term false promises to employees. The alternative is a slow, timely and painful decline similar to Sears or Kmart and rather than this article we'd be reading articles about the towns that Marsh left behind.
Vitamin D is not a medication for depression.

Lack of vitamin D can cause depression but it does not “do wonders” for people suffering from depression.
Yes, I agree with you. That is the driving force, even with other languages besides C too, and influences many things, from code readability to interview techniques.
> sob stories about people who spent half their lives pursuing 3 uneconomical degrees, had 3 more kids than they could afford, in cities with some of the highest costs of living in the world, and now complain that they're living paycheck to paycheck.

So the person who ....

- never attended any sort of college, but did graduate high school

- is single and childless, in fact have no family at all as their parents died poor and young

- is living paycheck to paycheck, whether in a city or rural area

...just doesn't exist? And if they do exist, please enlighten me on what steps they should take to correct their situation?

Just curious, but are your parents college educated?
I think creating a small/lifestyle startup is easier than ever since distribution/globalization is much easier but creating the next big thing is much more difficult.
America’s Closest Mideast Allies Using Child Mercenaries
Agreed. Is this an example of the patriarchal bias of science leaving women out of the telling of history -- finally being set straight by our friends at NPR -- or leftist revisionism trying to ascribe extremely inordinate influence to one member of a large team just because she happened to be female?

If one is assigning parentage, would Lyman Spitzer be the "father" of the Hubble telescope? Perhaps it had many "fathers" but only one "mother"?

EDIT: MichaelMoser123's added info and quotes are helpful. Merits updating the Wikipedia page to give her greater(/any) credit.
It is an interesting argument to blame people for their own problems that are largely structural and as the article indicates, effect a large swath of society. It's the same argument for blaming the homeless who say own an iPhone.
Huge difference between living paycheck to paycheck because you struggle to afford basic necessities and living paycheck to paycheck because you took out too large of a mortgage. In one case you have an asset to sell if needed.
Don't forget the guilt when kids are involved.

In the USA, many states will allow you 50% income for 6 months, and potentially Medicaid for health treatment.

This isn't much, but I was speaking in more general terms of "what if someone permanently decides to stop work."
This is why I always liked Cocoa (macOS native UI toolkit) and still prefer it over web UI when writing native apps. It separates out the concepts of layout, appearance, and behavior, and lets you customize any one of them without needing to readjust the others. I just released an app this morning here that uses a non-trivial amount of Cocoa, and it would be full Cocoa if there was a Cocoa-version of the excellent Monaco editor. I feel like there should be a web version of this sort of "old-fashioned" toolkit that has a timeless ease of use once you get over the learning curve.
The C++ version is taking a compile and runtime short cut by using printf instead of iostream.

The article barely mentions religion, much less Abrahamic vs. non-Abrahamic ones.
Scuttlebutt's pubs are only dumb caching pipes, whereas a Mastodon server is actually the source of your content. That's the fundamental difference between the two.

As every Scuttlebutt node is equal to every other node, that makes it a distributed, rather than merely decentralized, protocol.
BTW, never've heard of Flutter until you mentioned. Looking into it now. Looks cool, but... It's just been released? I do not want to depend on a bleeding edge solution when everything is at stake (I'm talking about a typical startup execution). I'd give it few more years before seriously considering it. I've seen the solutions that were supposed to take over the world (which never happened). SmallTalk, C++, JavaApplets, RubyOnRails. I'm sure I'm missing a few. While all these are very cool technologies, the "weird" JavaScript stuff is being the most used language in the world these days (whether we like it or not).

Its much harder (not impossible) to attain wealth if you don't come from at least an upper middle class background. Having a safety blanket (family) that can support you if you fail allows you to take greater risks in the pursuit of greater income, including starting a business. If you fail, worst case you end up in your childhood bedroom as opposed to on the the street. If your parents are able to pay for your college tuition, you are provided with a much stronger launch pad.

Many (most?) people are not taught financial responsibility and how to budget or run a household in school or at home, I believe that it is this lack of knowledge that really inflicts long term harm and feel that it should be required in both high school and college. My parents never knew how to manage money and so I never learned. I am taking the time to educate my self now, but you never even know you are missing out until life hits you in the face one day.

The greatest indicator of where you will end up financially continues to be where you started from.
100% agree!!! I spend countless hours on my phone entertaining myself on hundreds of sites at near zero cost. I don't know how our ancestors did it, playing with mud and rocks XD
I'm more often on the hiring side of the table than on the other. Probation periods exist specifically to address the issue of hiring false positives, and they work fine.

Your story is only possible if the interview process failed miserably. If your process sucks and results in a lot of false positives, that's your problem. Don't use it as justification for milking candidates for unpaid work towards actual deliverables.
This has nothing to do with what I'm saying. You obviously write code without thinking about people reading it later. It doesn't matter if the reader knows a[i++] and a[++i]. What matters is that you can easily make a mistake here, and the reader can easily not see the mistake or misunderstand what you meant to write. Compactness is the enemy of clairity.
For a site with limited assets, people care more about bandwidth costs than storage costs and ideally your webserver can automatically transcode and serve the best format based on content negotiation.

Except for JPEG2000, which Safari supports but does not include in its Accepts: header. So Akamai just sniffs the user-agent and serves JPEG2000 to anything that looks like Safari, whether they support it or not.
They are taking action against canada because canada arrested one of their execs at the behest of the US. It's basic international politics that everyone understands. It's not about sending a message to small countries. It isn't even about sending a message to canada. It's about sending a message to the US. Just like canada arresting the chinese exec was the US sending a message to China.

When significant powers want to send each other messages without escalating to full out war, they use smaller satellite states to deliver their messages. This is what happened during the cold war between the Soviets and the US. It's what's happening between the US and China.

If china or the US or russia or any major power wanted to send a message to small countries, they'd do so directly. Like we do with canada or China does with north korea or russia does with the smaller ex-soviet nations.
> Your income, investments, and career have to be at the forefront of your mind, always. And even then there's a ton of chance involved.

This is true and it's immensely disheartening that we live in a world where this is true.
This is exactly the problem. It all comes down to what is more rewarding to you - buying or financial security. Much of the buying in today’s world seems to be driven by the desire to portray status and success to peers. What’s particularly unfortunate about those who fall into this trap is the fact that they’re essentially giving what little real wealth they possess to people who actually have real wealth (business owners) in exchange for an image of wealth. They’re trading the real thing for an illusion.
You may want to look into how to use hardware to implement a sort of Ulysses pact - depending on the nature of the behavior(s) that you want to control, a time-locking safe can work wonders.

> But I also note that the original version of your benchmark was calling `println!`, which means that you were essentially benchmarking high-level, thread-safe I/O.

I don't think so. The program is only doing a thousand prints, which is far less than the total number of loop iterations. Try changing to locked stdout and writeln!---I doubt you'll notice a difference.
I agree, but for different reasons. I have seen a lot of code start with variables like `divisible_by_three`, only to have the requirements change to check division by 4, but programmers being too lazy to update the variable name as well.
If you have the problem that peering is getting very one-sided, the solution is to get the other side as well. So a rural ISP should try to expand into an area with cheap power and offer low-cost hosting and bandwidth to attract servers.
I agree it's hard. Anything interesting is.

But your last paragraph specifically describes technical debt as part of the problem. If even the best org (NTT) has technical debt and CenturyLink isn't the best org, then I think it's safe to suspect that a) CenturyLink has significant technical debt, and b) they have underinvested in that technical debt compared with industry best practices.

Dear lord. Go work in some shitty jobs full of poor people, and count how many work hard versus how many are lazy. Those 1%ers would be shocked at what they saw. But of course, how could they ever see the help as humans deserving of a decent, not-always-financially-scared life?
It’s not “fear mongering” when 800,000 people aren’t getting paid purely because the President was getting bashed by right wing media.
This is an extremely important point.

Everyone deals with these kinds of intrapersonal conflicts and issues on a different breadth and scale, one way or another. It's this coupled with economic distress or anxiety, in addition to a massive income and wealth inequality, that produces the kind of conditions and struggle that people and families go through, like those described in this short article.

Sure, there are varying degrees of this issue. You have costs of living which vary depending on location, wages and salaries which vary by location as well as the occupation itself.

Despite this, it's still a grave mistake to simply pass many of this off as "they should get a better-paying job" or "they are living beyond their means" as some of the comments on the WaPo article itself suggests.

For the former, anyone who uses such an argument has in some form or fashion accepted the belief that some jobs should not pay a livable wage. It does not make any sense that anyone working a wage job full-time is still financially in poverty. This has nothing to do with the individual, but instead has everything to do with economic policy. That is not to say that, for example, fast food workers should not make as much as teachers. OK, then pay the teachers more. The bottom line is that no one who works a full-time job should be in poverty.

For the latter argument, this is mostly part of an ongoing cultural trend of laying all responsibility on the individual, regardless of systemic variables. The idea that in such an unequal society, where people exist who literally make more in a single day than others in an entire lifetime, we should instead scrutinize the people struggling economically, is just plain disingenuous.

The economy is broken and getting worse. More and more people are realizing it.
Evidence of the Superiority of Female Doctors (2016)
That’s actually sort of discouraged by the guidelines (post originals) and the FAQ [1] clarifies this a bit:

> Are paywalls ok?

> It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds.

> In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic.

Though the point of the “web” link up above is basically to perform the google search, which had historically been a whitelisted referer.

The FAQ suggests though that we’ve strayed too far off topic :). And fwiw, this is an interesting position piece rather than the usual “Where’s Larry Page?” sequence of articles.

The world should have been much more assertive towards China instead the US,Japan,South Korea are fighting each other for "peanuts".

Better: not being paid enough is a sufficient condition, but it is not required.

Of course rich people can have such problem, but if you think low wages and the lack of universal health care and free education is not the main issue you are lying to yourself.
