No, the amount of unity released is tiny.
of course it makes sense, just not from your perspective. from the perspective of the APA, it's on you to explain how these definitionally aggressive and violent behaviors that have obvious and immediate measurable negative consequences are harmless or even good. if these behaviors are good, then those good effects are very indirect and the effects can only be seen from a very abstract social analysis. but they're not sociologists, they're psychologists.

A number of Bitcoin hard forks are scams as well and a few of them are in the top 100 in terms of market cap.

The same thing could be said about airdrops.

It actually accomplishes the opposite; hiding uninitialized values from tools such as Valgrind. If you're trying to find uninitialized variables then you would specifically not enable this flag so that the detection can work.

This is why I intentionally leave variables uninitialized rather than put bogus initialization values. Example:

int x;
if (cond) {
x = foo();
} else {
x = bar();
}

Some people when they see my code, have the urge to modify it so that x is initialized to 0 before the branches. But this hides bugs. If for example, I later made the if-else chain more complicated, and one of the branches failed to initialize `x`, better to find out with Valgrind than to have a hard-to-find-bug where an invalid value of 0 was used in an unexpected place.

This would be a flag to enable on release builds; a bug mitigation technique rather than a debugging technique.
Haha yes! PeachPy was written at Georgia Tech and avo was written in California.

Not sure why you are so angry and defensive. But why can't it all be recorded in a single place?
I would also like a comprehensive study, but this article is not it because it is using classifications of fake news made by tabloid media that does not satisfy any scientific requirement of rigor.

It is ok that buzzfeed is politically biased, but its conclusions and work should also be treated as such with the limitations that presents in the applicability of its conclusions.

Sure.
Parents photograph their naked children and put it on social media. It's clearly not CP, and good luck separating that from CP with a ML model.
They are paying to play -that's how outsourcing works. The high salary of Google devs is priced into the contracts the pentagon pays.
So it's not an issue of salary level but of their inability to build up an internal structure (to which their public image among the SV crowd contributes) which causes them problems.
Can this be solved? Maybe, but not simply by raising salaries.
journald seems to be overall a very bad idea.
The article says that the man’s drinking “played a significant role” in his death. I don’t buy the idea that he slept outside only because there literally wasn’t enough room for him in the shelter. If that were truly the case, more than one homeless person would have died in that area for the same reason, and it would have been a major national story.
Well, you can't answer 50 states just because you had 100000 people. What if the source of that data was a CA insurance query form where they must enter, specifically, their CA address. (I'm assuming you'd still get other states, but it might not be 50).
> I came up with a valid solution to a real world problem.

No, you absolutely did not. The real solution, which has already been arrived upon, is to legally forbid pedophile felons from working with or around kids. Rolling that back is not 'pragmatic', it's fucking moronic. Feeding their fantasies by paying them to look at pornography is the worst idea I've heard in a LONG time. You are seriously creeping me out.
Children have no choice in the matter, and this context will exist for the rest of their lives. It's pretty damaging.

It is interesting that photos of children shot to death is legal, and it shows the really weird relationship humans have with sex, which is it's own troublesome thing.

At the same time, the prohibition on the content may actually keep some people out of jail. I wonder how many famous people appear in photos of child abuse, who are powerful enough to avoid jail time. With the context being so controlled, juries simply may not recognize high ranking executives or Fortune 500 people in evidence at trials, and I wonder how much the control keeps abusers out of prisons.

I dunno. I think it's a pretty complex issue.
They don't just filter their e-mail platforms and consume hash lists from law enforcement agencies. On the contrary,
Microsoft funds and freely distributes the most common tool for checking photos (not file hash based, I think proprietary). That's likely the project the employees you mentioned were on, a job I wouldn't wish on anyone I know. I hope they were well supported both while working and afterward.

You keep saying the content is fake, but again, we've seen various claims made within it prove true over time. Why are you keen on peddling fake news yourself?

The pee tape may or may not be real, almost any intelligence dossier like that is going to contain information across multiple sources some of which may not be correct. This does not invalidate the document as a whole, especially because again, we've seen many claims within it bear fruit over the past few years.
Is that the old tired "if you won't help build tools to butcher people, evil chinese will?" argument?

For the past week, a Venezuelan house painter has been working at my house. He immigrated to the U.S. 3 years ago. He was a police officer that refused to do the governments bidding, so he fled. As did ~500/700 that were in his police academy.

We just spent the past 2 hours talking about the past and present situations in his home country. I'm beside my self and ashamed that I've been so ignorant to what has been happening.

I don't even know what to say here or even where to begin.

I wonder how the future will classify AI generated content which depicting things like CP[1] but where none of the actors are real. We haven't quite crossed that threshold yet but wouldn't be surprised if something like this were to hit the headlines some time very soon. Will people claim that this is a valuable surrogate to keep these sick people from acting on real victims or will we see claims that it encourages them (like terrorists get radicalized etc).

[1] but not only. other genres like snuff would come to mind. How about an AI generated take on "A Serbian Film"

Huh, there was certanly "a fit" inside Google around Dragonfly as well - and the only big corporation that actively assists China at this point is Apple. So I'm not quite sure what the OP meant?
Did the people reply with 50 really get the correct answer? Is this making the assumption that there is a "known" list of states, that addresses are entered correctly, that we're talking about a specific country?

The only way we really know the answer to this question is by placing a lot of bias into our answer.

I assume that if this was typical performance, they'd make a clip with even better performance from when things line up well.
> A significant portion of issues filed against journald are performance related.

Right. Because instead of doing the SANE thing which is appending timestamped text to a read only file -- which gives you actually better guarantees of being written to the disk than the binary format journald uses, they have a ridiculously convoluted setup like this.
Something similar happens quite a bit with news reporting. Someone references a non existent story online, then a whole bunch of journalists and media outlets assume it's real based on the 'source' link/text.

Saw it with a story about a game Niantic Labs was supposedly working on, all based on a non existent IGN story that linked to an error page.

But it's depressing to see something like this happen with journals and what not. Would have thought these academics would be a bit better at checking their sources than this.

I'm not familiar with Unity so I have a few questions which aren't clear to me.

Why is SpatialOS running Unity code in the cloud? Presumably a Unity client can talk to an arbitrary server backend over standard network protocols, right? Was it simply easier to write the backend in the same SDK as the frontend? Does Unity provide a networking layer that works better with both sides running Unity SDK?

To show that the classification system used as a premise for the study has problems is addressing the methodology of the study, and exactly what I learned in my scientific training.

The fact that the classifications are likely to be politically biased due to them being made by buzzfeed does not make the statement of that fact necessarily political.
can you name something about the "War on Terror" you think we'd be better off not doing?

Blowing up people's weddings via drone?
Corroding civil liberties?
Equipping small-town police forces with military equipment and mentalities?

I could go on. There is a lot more to dislike than just the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Especially in Venezuela where China and Russia help maintain that corruption and brutality.
True statement, BUT: in general most generic DVR systems are driven by people who are looking for advanced features. Convenient setup for non-expert users is (at best) a distant second.
> It's difficult to say this isn't a net moral good, as things currently stand.

I disagree but am open to being persuaded otherwise.

I don't consider national defense to be an immoral goal. I believe it's unrealistic for there to exist a world without weapons. That being the case, I believe it's important for us to constantly improve our military capability otherwise we will be left behind.
"real" is an interesting notion. when you're presented with two thoroughly awful options, and when the ability to select between the two said options is contingent on dodgy information, murky details and unanswered questions, is it really a proper choice? i almost feel like it's making important life decisions while one beer away from a blackout.
As someone who's had the misfortune of living next to poorly trained dogs, I really hope your neighbours won't be able to hear their barking.
Of course of course. Context matters. Reality matters!

My point is it's a mess out there, and most people don't have insight into how the world really works, so I usually don't go blaming retirees for passing along false information of the Tabloid kind. It is what it is.

Facebook is not new, it's just now we have digitized banal gossip. I guess the difference now is we can measure it.

This is very indicative of the 70s and 80s - at least for the US.

No fault divorce was first legalized here in California in the late 70s, and in most states by the mid-80s. This increased the number of divorces, and I don't know the numbers, but I imagine there was an initial "boom" of pent-up unhappy marriages that took advantage at first before the numbers leveled out.

There's a reason the sitcoms of the era tended to involve single-parent homes (often with friends/family filling in) - this was an attack on the cultural idea of "norm". Putting children in the role of "man of the family" when there wasn't a father was a big thing, at least in the culture I grew up in. And since everyone now has grown up with that, it isn't going away quickly.

No idea of the quality of this db, but a search for "you're the man of the family" in movies turned up over a dozen matches for that exact phrase: http://www.quodb.com/search/you're%20the%20man%20of%20the%20..., with most being between 1980-2010 - and it looks like those were generally delivered to children (a few to female children).

The Mom may have been head of the household, but the eldest son was (and is) treated as if that Y chromosome imbues him with mystical powers and responsibility, even if very young.
I never made a claim about my financial literacy. It's not as low as you assume, though. I've started (and sold) several successful businesses, and am well-versed in investment activity.

It's more a case of everyone having different levels of things they are willing to tolerate. That mine is different from yours doesn't indicate that either of us is incompetent.

That said, if your goal is to be wealthy, investments are an important part of that. That doesn't happen to be my goal, though.
The stance held by Google engineers seems to be more subtle than that, although it is fairly clear: a weapon produced by an American company may go either to kill a civilian in a pointless war in a country nobody has ever heard of (high-probability), or to kill a Chinese soldier in a future war for the survival of our country (low-probability). The US government could address this by improving the mix ratio between pointless wars that benefit nobody and wars for the survival of our country, so that a weapon would be more likely to end up used for the latter than the former.

I think it's safe to say Elon has officially lost his mind. It's sad, but it happens frequently to people with too much money.

No one person can fix electric cars, solar power, underground urban transportation, and sending people into space. No one. The flying Tesla is only slightly more kooky than the one-at-a-time Tesla going through his tunnels. Britain had electric underground railways in the 1800's. I fail to see how Elon's tunnel invention is improving on that.

People can't go to Mars because of the Van Allen belts. But Elon wants us to get excited about 50's-style stainless steel rockets. Come on.
The choice may be incorrect, but the alternatives aren’t all around optimal, either.

A logging system must write each message atomically. That can be done when “writing in blocks using a fixed-size” buffer, but it complicates code, and, I guess, would introduce additional latency (something you really do not want in a logging system) when processes race for using the logging system.

I'm at the point where I just assume that if it is cryptocurrency, I assume the likelihood of being a scam is close to 100%.

I followed cryptocurrency just casually out of curiosity for awhile but the association between that and scams and crime and such are just so high I have to wonder if I'm alone or if there really eventually is a perception problem.

Obviously you could argue "hey just money has that problem" maybe, but for some reason I don't make that association.
You seem to be implying that it's perfectly fine for the US to bomb a family home if a terrorist is in there, accepting civilian casualties, because they might harm the population?

Who gets to make that determination?
A random drone pilot?
An officer?

Also please don't pretend any of the US military engagements since WW2 had any other purpose than serving national interest.

> Bad shit will always happen, but at least you're in a position to deal with it!

I think this is pretty key and doesn't get enough attention.

In child psych they talk about "resilience", the ability to get back on your feet when something knocks you down. It's hugely helpful for kids.

But it's also critical for adults, and especially successful adults who frankly don't have a lot of experience being knocked down and getting back up again. I suspect that most anxious successful adults underestimate their own ability to bounce back from failure -- many of us think that we got super lucky and at any time something could destroy it all, not thinking about how would take advantage of other opportunities already available in the face of failure in one domain.

I suspect another piece of this is the lack of spare resources (money, time) to handle external shocks. We're so busy that when one thing goes wrong and needs extra attention/money/time, we know it comes at the expense of something else -- and we feel that expense strongly.

Curious for others' thoughts on these.
I don't want a balance of power. I want most moral actor (however flawed they may be) to have a technical and tactical advantage over those that would behave immorally.

The world didn't get together and unanimously decide to stop using chemical weapons. The few strongest forces in the world decided that no one was to use chemical weapons, and by that threat of force the world became a better place.
Ideally someone has already beaten you to the punch(Imposter Syndrome is literally item #1 when I take on engineers to mentor). Of my sample size of ~150 engineers across every level my success rate of having people say "Oh my god, I have that" is so far 100%.

More concretely though I would not look to anyone directly in your management chain for a variety of reasons. The best ways I've seen to address it is with a senior engineer or someone that you respect who's willing to take you on in a mentorship role. This should be something where you set aside time to talk through these types of issues(plus all the other wonderful inter-team stuff that comes up in development) over a 3-6mo period.

If you can't find that I will say this: I've found that it comes from a place of caring and giving a shit about wanting to carry your weight or be a part of something. I don't think it's possible to have a desire to improve yourself and not experience it on a regular basis.

The best way I've found to approach it is to recognize when it's happening, call it out directly and tell yourself that your brain is being an asshole in this specific instance. Something I've also seen work well for other people is to do a short list of the things that you work on each day. Review it at the end of the day and take an objective look at what you've accomplished, you'll often find that it's more than you 'felt' like you did.

Hope that gives you some direction. If you're finding you local resources lacking drop me a line at val at vvanders.com and see what I can do to help.
>"Ah, the ole "sitting on the sidelines is helpful" argument."

That's not even the OPs argument, nor is it some "ole" argument. You have both put words in their mouth and framed it as some classic well-known fallacy of which it is not.

The OP is making the distinction between "voting with your feet" which takes real commitment and has immediate effects versus "signing a letter"[1] which involves nothing more than a few seconds of your time without having to leave your desk.

Yes! This tripped me up at one point. My comment says "Otherwise we could be in the bizarre special-case of 3-argument CMP instructions."

https://github.com/mmcloughlin/avo/blob/0e253b3753beb409b3dd...

It gets to the point where the only source of truth is the Go assembler itself. My test suite takes the avo instruction database and generates a massive assembly file with one line per instruction form, then passes this to `go tool asm`.
