To answer your question: if you want your project used by others, it's best not to rock the boat. Which leads me to ask why anyone would muck about with something that could affect other projects' production code?

My response to this little fiasco: why is anyone relying on externally-hosted, malleable code in a production environment? Run a repo, package it with your app ... whatever it takes to have a stable release.
> An "ftp style install" is not typical at any company I've been at

I am glad for you -- as I mentioned, it is possible to have secure PHP installation, and apparently your company does this. But unfortunately, there are many people who just want to get app going as fast as possible -- and thus often end up with "ftp style" install.

Let's look at Wordpress: searching for "install wordpress" brings me here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Mi... , which says "Upload the WordPress files to the desired location on your web server" and "Run the WordPress installation script by accessing the URL in a web browser." -- typical "ftp style install"

Joomla install even talks about ftp clients! https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Installing_Joomla

> Most (good) exploits are executable code in the database, and not even visible (unless you know where to look). That also applies to Javascript/Python/C/etc that would survive docker containers and horizontally scaled servers.

Sure, exploits happen. But the question is: will they persist? Your code might have database-driven XSS or RCE bug, but hopefully this will be noticed and fixed -- and once you will install latest version, those database records would be ignored/rendered inert, and your system is clean.

.. that is, unless you were running Wordpress installed in a recommended way. There, once you are exploited once, you can click on "upgrade" in admin.php as much as you want, but your system will stay exploited forever.

But luckily, things are improving. I remember trying to install ownCloud few years ago, and it really wanted its code dir to be writeable. I just checked their website today, and they offer Docker install now -- this is great! Unfortunately, there is still a ton of existing PHP apps which rely on being able to modify their own code.

No but some people, who just want their video to stay up and don't care about the ad revenue, will purposefully add a snippets of content to trigger multiple copyright bots into filing competing claims. When this happens the video stays up until the claims are resolved and since there's no actual people involved and it's covered by fair use anyway they just time out eventually.

Many of my best online friends I have through having shared a faction in an online game. Working as a team with them led to the initial favorable views and relationships with each other which I think is vital, which then grew into out of character friendships which went beyond the game.

Hrmmm. Fair points. So, to make sure I understand you, you argue that the article is a "this could have been so much more/better/buckets-of-awesome if it wasn't for the stifling effects if the current ruling apparatus"? (I paraphrase woth the sole goal of to making sure I understood correctly)
What this post doesn’t mention is the failure to tackle a fairly significant problem[0] leading to Matrix bridges being banned from at least one major irc network (hackint) and a number of irc channels elsewhere. If you were thinking of using Matrix because you thought it might allow you to access all your old chat systems as well, think again.

[0] The Matrix bridge model fundamentally doesn’t map to how IRC works in reality, and causes massive headaches for IRC network and channel operators.

On pages 43-44, the author mentions a member of my school's faculty G. Toualakis. The criticisms are valid and his textbook is convoluted. I appreciate the recognition on unnecessary formalism and complexity.

For a 1000 level logic course that Software Engineers, Computer Engineers and Computer Science must take, it is extreme.

> Avida is dead, correct?

I'm not sure about that. You're right that there doesn't seem to have been much development going on in the last few years, but a quick Google Scholar search indicates that there are still papers being published with it.

I don't know if performance was ever much of a problem with AVIDA. It's a pretty light model, as far as I recall.

It is an intriguing system. I love the idea behind it and had good fun playing around with it back in secondary school. Also some interesting theoretical work that was done with it, biology-wise. Though of course, you always have to take model results with a big grain of salt (and have a careful think about what can and what can't be applied to Real Life).

There is so much inertia in a big organization if you want to do something, it is better not to ask and work on it and keep pushing things forward until someone explicitly ask you to stop. It is not productive and possibly dangerous to be waiting for approval or even guidance, when there is so many things to do and no one offer to help, stop looking for guidance, dive deep into the code, solve the problems and make a defense of your solutions.

That was a life changing lesson. I became more productive I got rejections a couple of times, but the rate of success was way more than I expected.

"You could practice solving the sort of visiospatial puzzles that they pose but then you'd ruin your results."

You are contradicting yourself. First you claim it is not based on studyable knowledge, then you claim studying for the tests ruins the results.

Some people solve similar puzzles during their life and get practice for the tests, others do not.
Electric bikes can be quite enjoyable to ride, the Bafang BBSHD can make it a breeze to go up even steep hills here in Seattle at a swift clip.

The downsides come in the form of risk in transit (your in the weather, and have minimal to moderate protection from the road and others on it) and in securing your newfound transport in between use.

There are very few dry, secure placea to store bikes & scooters, and fewer yet that have an outlet to charge. Shared bikes and scooters mitigate this problem somewhat, but thus far they seem to have serious maintenance issues after relatively short periods outdoors. Who wants to ride a rattly transport device thats missing screws?

"Third world" is a nonsense term that gives a completely misleading picture of global wealth distribution and helps to perpetuate negative stereotypes [0].

He’s a pop icon more than an economist these days. He understands his market/base and pitches to them. Framed as an entertainer, he does well.

The Euro’s design balances Germany’s paranoia surrounding inflation with the South’s preference for rebalancing its economies though devaluation. With the benefit of hindsight, a terrific compromise wasn’t found. Obvious fixes, which include a Eurozone FDIC analogue and a European fiscal authority for basic social services like unemployment insurance and housing subsidies, are opposed by pretty much every country’s politicians. (The rich because they don’t want to subsidise the poor, but do want to keep selling to them on credit. The poor because they don’t want to lose their jobs to a unified entity in Brussels.)
Its not even close to what it was back 5 years though.
I think emacs already does that fine
Nevermind that bikes and trams are significantly cheaper, and with the way the infrastructure is designed in many places (plus existing traffic), other modes of transit besides cars can be competitive or significantly faster than driving.

Unless you mean killing jihadists, then well yeah, they probably advocated killing people who want to kill for dogma.

> There isn't a simple road between the two positions you gave, there is an entire territory.

When you recognize this, then why do you take their opinion as "kill all religious people". And it is absurdly stupid to say that religion is source of all evil, clearly Stalin and Mao's atrocities weren't based on religion.
Public transport and electric scooters only make sense in dense urban areas. In these places there's a critical mass of people that want to go to the same set of locations. This premise doesn't hold true in most of the world. Outside of dense urban areas public transport has no benefit from scale and is worse in terms of energy usage than private cars with plenty of other downsides.

Turing machines are deterministic. Enumerating all Turing machines is deterministic. Whether any given Turing machine will terminate is unpredictable (the Halting problem).

Unpredictability does not entail nondeterminism, although distinguishing the two is not necessarily always possible.

we often use 'nand-gates' as a metric - in cmos they're about the smallest useful gate (other than an inverter) you can make - (4 transistors) - it doesn't mean we build everything from nand-gates - in fact a std cell library usually has 30-100 gates in it and synthesis tools pick the right gates for the job as we compile up our chips

We used to laugh at “Made in Japan.” Then they became really good at consumer hardware (cameras, music, cars, TVs). China manufactures some of the most sophisticated hardware in the world (smartphones, tablets etc). They do learn and iterate fast.

The one thing that makes me wonder if they can make really good electric cars is the software side. Japan fell from the throne in consumer entertainment hardware as they didn’t do software well. They still don’t. I think electric cars is a lot about software and batteries. Can China do really reliable, trustworthy, user friendly software? Without it I predict their cars will struggle.

Your message has really annoyed me, I just wanted to say that. I found the tone quite upsetting, although I hope it's just because our only communication is through this brief chat, and we don't really know each other.

I've never made proprietary software. I've written hundreds of thousands of lines of open source code in dozens of projects. I make releases of those projects, answer bug reports and issues, review PRs, all for free. Often I get annoying demanding emails for support for something I give away for free, which is quite annoying, but I usually answer anyway unless the sender is really annoying.

In a couple of them, there are features which are the because they amused me when I wrote them. Nothing that would lead to a wrong answer. Maybe if someone wants to base their business on my free labor, they have to put up with that.

If I want to watch a particular movie or TV series, it's nontrivial to find which service (if any!) offers it and is willing to stream it to your country - your example would apply only if it was possible to subscribe to a single service offered all or most content in the world, but it doesn't work that way for legal services for all kinds of licensing reasons. Even the fact that it was available there last year doesn't imply that it will be available there now, licensing deals change all the time.
Check my profile. There are quite a few companies that specialise in things relate to lowering our emissions. Solar, power networks, electric cars, heat pumps, new types of transport (electric boats, trains, planes), urban agriculture and more.

It's not, and never was, a solution for copyright law. Remember that the whole content id / revenue redirection scheme was only created so that the major media companies (mainly 'Hollywood') didn't obliterate YouTube with lawsuits. Everything about the system is designed to keep them happy. The majority of other (i.e. small) publishers on YouTube accept it because they can't afford a real legal fight for copyright violations, which at least part of would likely include going after YouTube to even get the information about the other party since YouTube is effectively shielding the identity of the other party. And YouTube remains safe from damages because... safe harbor.

It's easy to say something like this in retrospect But even after working on this for a couple of years I have no idea how I would get started with SBCL. There was a team at Google that tried to add a llvm backend to SBCL and they stopped working on it after a year. I don't want to knock SBCL - it's an amazing compiler! But I think there are way too many problems that I would have had to solve, all at once, to get C++ and SBCL to interoperate.

It's odd, as I see it where I live, but not my hometown. The funny thing is, I live in a bigger town (~70,000) than my hometown (~3,000) is. The children of our neighborhood there (a set of four streets) all are out all the time during the summer, often unsupervised and with younger siblings. They'll play up and down the streets, and talk to anyone they see walking and wave and such. They're very street aware too.

It's actually nice to see, as my hometown is not like that at all. Parents often won't even let their kids go to the park playground while watching an older (and sometimes younger!) sibling play ball. That's despite the fact there's other parents over there, and it's fairly small so everyone really does seem to know everyone. A family friend has gotten criticized for letting their kids walk from their house to their grandparents, which wasn't even a mile on back roads. They also let their son ride his bike to the park often (2 miles, perhaps), and got criticized for that. It's really weird to see the contrast in the two places.

the depressing thing about machine learning to me is the many convincing explanations of phenomena, that then turn out not to explain things (all the explanations of why dropout is effective, or why there are adversarial examples, things like that.)

this is where the comparison to alchemy is the sharpest in my opinion. The alchemists had extremely sophisticated theories that they used to provide explanations for the phenomena they observed; just ultimately none of them made any sense.
Well, Germany used the Euro and their influence on the ECB as a strategic weapon to boost their own economy and exports (as opposed to treating the Eurozone as a union).

There are people who, while adults, still believe in unicorns, and tooth fairies, and big nation states with huge national industries and interests looking for the good of the union and the common market, and so on. There also are pragmatists who understand politics.
