Thank you! That's probably the simplest possible explanation. "Related like electricity and magnetism are". How far is it from the "actual reality"? Would you (or anybody else) try giving a more difficult explanation?
They even learn social competence for example when playing with random other people they talk about what characters there are, how you communicate with people effectively or give feedback/criticize effectively.

For completeness sake, there are C programs that never allocate memory dynamically, using press-allocated variables only. Your microwave likely runs one.

There are also programs that allocate but never we-allocate memory. They are fast-terminating programs, ranging from a CLI utility to onboard software that controls a surface-to-air rocket.

But many programs still need more complex memory management done safely.

Getting blocked. A few years ago I worked with a team who would hit a minor roadblock and just completely stop producing code. There would be a lot of energy spent on emails, ticket updates, creation of new issues, and theoretical and academic discussions on the issue. In reality we were building websites that had a short shelf life and not sending people to the moon. For a time I spent some of my energy to unblock them until I realized that this didn't actually solve the root cause.

That's such an insulting thing to say without really pointing out any substantial problems?

I may hate their practices but their dev tools have always been absolutely top-notch within their (locked down) garden. No company has ever come anywhere close to emulating that, closed garden or not.
Thanks so much, this is the career advice database I have been looking for for years. Whenever people ask me what they should do when they graduate, I have to base my response on broad government surveys that, for example, lump every single natural science in to a single salary category. With this, I can even make charts.
Totally, that could absolutely be the case. But it probably won't be. The reality is that most C programs do use manual memory management, by a very wide margin.
I wish there was one reference manager that wasn't so clunky and convoluted, and I've about tried them all now.

They didn’t corroborate the testimony. Nobody at buzzfeed has seen the supposed evidence. Buzzfeed isn’t asking us to trust them (which would already be dubious), they’re asking us to trust some unnamed source (and trust it over Mueller’s refutation of the story). That’s tabloid level rumour printing.

Agreed. I'm just wondering if they followed some theoretical schema or just responded to evolutionary forces. Most likely the latter.

But, hey, I won't complain about anything that lessens the pain of rejection :)

We are not going to solve the problem of democratic governance by a majority-homeowner electorate. To the extent that a homeowner electorate would ever allow homelessness to be solved:

- Can't solve homelessness without mass affordability.

- Can't have mass affordability without density.

- Can't have density when voters are worried about congestion and parking impacts of development.

- Can't stop worrying about congestion and parking impacts of development when you drive everywhere.

- Won't stop driving everywhere until transit is attractive.

Homelesness and repulsive transit are a feedback loop. We have to break it somewhere. Fare enforcement is a lever we actually have.

4K displays eat batteries (at least driving them). I'm very nomadic in my usage and I want a computer that I can do 8 hours of work on a single charge if I have to. Pretty much impossible with a 4K display, so I've gotten used to lower resolutions. Since I have vision issues (eye strain triggers ocular migraines), I usually have a massive font -- imagine full screening a console with only 32 lines of text. In that configuration, 4K is definitely overkill because there is very little difference to see. If you are young, with super power vision (like some people I know), I think it would make a pretty big difference in really tiny fonts and might be worth the power price. However, I think if I were going that route, I would be getting a 15" not a 13" -- I can't really see the advantage of the smaller format if you are tying yourself to a power cord anyway.
Indo-European is a concocted story just to show that nothing original ever came from India / Indians. It was a fabricated language to show that Latin is as old as if not older than Sanskrit / Indian languages.

You haven’t answered my query and your response is presumptuous. My claim is not as absolute as you seem to believe it is. My claim is that on a systematic level, the rate of women attempting to gain more opportunities for better pay, even when using the same negotiation strategies as men, has a smaller success rate than men in the general case. You said this is due to ineffective negotiation tactics.

So, in order to show that this is not specific to gender bias, I am asking you for a negotiation tactic whose rates of success and reception do not have a correlation with gender. If you cannot provide this then I will assume your claim is sourced out of your behind, which has even less clout than the scientists you express chagrin for (at least their stuff has been peer reviewed).
Well, it's searching for the unknown and competitively FOMO -- fear of missing out. Searching for the unknown has worked great in the past. The physicists are under enormous pressure to publish good papers, and to this end they will push hard against the unknown, by whatever cleverness, directions, ideas, means, techniques, etc. they have. They may move to applied physics, research in engineering, etc.
I'm so happy for what seems to be a resurgence in respect and love for the more "mundane" jobs in life. As a somewhat recent convert (along with half the internet it seems at times) to the inspiring "cult" of Marie Kondo, I think it's pretty fantastic that one of the most popular personalities today is someone teaching us the joy of folding socks.
It's difficult (though not quite impossible) to make a non-Turing-complete processor and still have it do useful things. So by making a processor that can do useful things, you have made it Turing complete.
I can only hope we've reached "the end of the line."

I believe little additional monies should be directed to more powerful particle accelerators until compelling evidence of something worth pursuing comes from theoretical physics. Meanwhile there are many problems where the investment will provide a predictable and useful return.
No worries. I suspect many of your downvoters were confused as I was that you appeared to be arguing that CPython could compile your Python code to efficient C! Took me a few passes to spot the misunderstanding.

Off-topic: but why did they opt for Windowed (hWnd’d) controls for WinForms when VB6 seemed fine with windowless controls and while there are advantages to windowed-controls (e.g. getting the latest enhancements to Common Controls) it seems WinForms defaults to using older versions and still overrides things like painting events. Almost as if WinForms couldn’t tell if it wanted to be like AWT or more like WxWidgets.

"they're almost never program requirements"

Wrong. We had two courses at my school. From the ABET Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Technology Programs: "(e)Include topics related to professional and ethical responsibilities".

The issue here is proxy features, and that it isnt as obvious if your statistical model is doing something wrong. You identified zip code and race. What about number of cats? Would you have a particular gender and marital status in mind if a given data sample had a large value in the numberOfCats column?

So you ban making decisions based on number of cats. But amountOfKittyLitterPurchased, numberOfCatPicturesViewed, numberOfDislikesOnDogPictures, etc could be used as a proxy for numberOfCats. Try to come up with an exhaustive list of all features which could be used as a proxy for some protected class. Starting with politically incorrect jokes will get you part way there, assuming you possess an exhaustive list of all politically incorrect jokes. But you will need to be pretty creative to come up with more.

> should be charged with something along the lines of conspiracy to commit murder

How do you prove the intent was to murder rather than to harass?

You think you’re being clever by charging with something more serious, then the charge fails because really you just wanted what they really did to have a steeper punishment.

They don’t call you - it doesn’t matter what you’d do - they call the police, who have to answer the phone.
I live on a NASA/military base near Mountain View, my 4, 6 and 7 year olds routinely ride their bikes to the other side of the airfield — pretty much all over the place and the NASA and military cops just wave at them. The entire enclave is like that: kids can explore and do whatever and as long as they don’t try to leave the base. They’re not only safe, but everyone around her keeps an eye on everyone else. My 4 year old thought he was going to ride his little scooter to downtown Mountain View and the gate sentries stopped him and pointed him back to safety. I point this out as a contrast to their school neighborhood in Palo Alto: if they roamed around like that there, they’d likely be run over by a Tesla, hit by a bus or some Palo Alto matron would call the cops and have me arrested for negligence. This isn’t meant to be too political, but in very “rich white liberal” places, the propensity for collective freak outs over “neglect” is much greater than anything I have experienced living in more “red” or minority areas. Anecdotal certainly, but it does feel like areas like Palo Alto or Upper West Side NYC would be more likely to call CPS/Police or kids that weren’t properly ensconced in their Mandarin or ballet classes.
Yes, ineffective negotiation tactics. I'm trying to tell you that "using the same negotiation strategies as men" means nothing. There is no "negotiation strategy for men". The negotiation "strategy" is made on the spot depending on the circumstances, and is irrespective of gender. How well it works depends on how well you thought it out, and how well you can apply it, and how others respond to it. These are all interlinked — you need to reach the end of the negotiation to figure out if your plan was correct and in what amount, with the mention that if you pay attention you can alter it on the way if you find the opportunity. This is harder than it sounds in my experience at least.

The premise is invalid.

And as for your appeal to authority, shit, it looks like food for the echo chamber to me. Stats created to propagate a meme, peer reviewed or not.
I never said it was struggling, in fact I explicitly said it wasn’t. The context of the thread was... well, just read it.
Intel debuts Nauta for distributed deep learning with Kubernetes
> Mid 2015 Macbook Pro to Mid 2018 Macbook Pro got a 50% improvement for compute workloads according to Geekbench

If this is enough to make a huge difference then you should be running the workload on a low end or better server instead of a mac book. You'll get much more performance for a fraction of the cost and won't have to pay for the things you don't need, like a new battery, screen, etc that come attached the the CPU you need.

> I work on largish (win/mac/linux/ios/android) C++ code bases and compile and test run times are definitely an issue. Switching to newer computers every few years definitely boosted productivity for me personally (and for my co-workers as well). We mostly saw that compile times halved for each generation jump (3 years) as a combination of IO, memory and CPU performance increases.

Have you exhausted all other avenues there? Do you have distributed builds? Is Everything componentized? Do you compile to RAM disks?

For that matter, why a macbook? Why not a high end gaming laptop with more CPU, RAM, GPU resources?

To everyone thinking about trying Debian...

Normally I run OpenBSD everywhere but I've got a Debian laptop that's nice to use.

It's great to try other systems! Even if you're die-hard in favor of something, trying something else will enrich your appreciation or even make you fall in love with it again. Or it could make you realize you've been missing out on some things that are actually pretty cool. And if you're a hacker then maybe you'll just add the missing features. :-)

I've been using OpenBSD for almost 20 years so it's sort of a lifelong friend. Even something as amazing as pledge/unveil don't bring me back to that "first time" magic, although I gotta say they bring me pretty close.

Some 3rd party software that comes with Debian is newer than that in OpenBSD, and sometimes it's the other way around. Some things are nicer in Debian, like the GUI wifi selection is pretty handy. OpenBSD has excellent wifi support under the hood but no paint job if that makes sense. So at least for a laptop that I'm carrying all over the place, Debian's wifi is pretty great.

You should try Debian! And OpenBSD, and Haiku, and ReactOS, or whatever has your curiosity. These days it's comically easy to try a new OS. Even if computers weren't historically cheap, they're so overpowered that you can emulate them and run multiple virtual machines on a single box. "There's never been a better time than now!"

I'll probably try VOID Linux next. Definitely give Debian a spin.
I mean, it is a question...

Show HN: Deep Learning in TensorFlow – The Roadmap for Study and Learning
Dang, that's _beautiful_.
To my knowledge, 1Password (which is what I use) has never had one of these bugs. There is one flaw reported in the P0 bugtracker against 1Password, that another user on the same local machine running native code can trick the 1Password agent into believing that it's your browser extension https://crbug.com/project-zero/888 . All the machines where I run 1Password are single-user machines, so local processes running as other users aren't within my threat model anyway. (And I think this is 95%+ of people's threat models too on the machines where they run 1Password, although I understand why 1Password attempted to defend against this risk.)

1Password wrote an extended post in response to that vulnerability talking about defenses and threat models https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/70301/backgroun... and I don't see evidence that the vulnerability ever recurred.

And it was not a threat that allowed one website to get passwords for another website. It's true that other password managers have had such vulnerabilities - multiple times - but that's a reason to comparison-shop the various password managers and pick a secure one, not to write off the product category entirely.
Haha, nah it's all good. Honestly I'm shocked (shocked!) that I still see Winforms on resumes to this day. My real claim to fame is the VS Property Browser, which is System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid to this day. I love seeing new versions of VS and being like "yep, still there, that's m'baby".

Lots of stories, here's some quickies:

- Windows Forms was originally WFC from the Visual J++ project. Anders Hejlsberg was the architect as one of his first MS roles, working with him was a huge impact on my career.

- The Winforms team was, I think the first team to ever use C#, which was called COOL (C-Like Obj Oriented Language). Before then we were using a Java-like language that ran on the CLR

- The .NET Framework originated as a mash-up of the Winforms and ASP.NET teams, who were busy building frameworks separately for a while.

- The .NET project was a boiled ocean - everything was new from the runtime (CLR) to the tool (VS.NET), and two languages (C#, VB.NET). We didn't have a working debugger until late in the cycle, everything was always on the floor. This might be an anti pattern.

- I don't remember exactly what the story was with the font...20 years!... but my guess would be that it had to do with dealing with different versions of Windows and which fonts were installed.
If you stick with non-bleeding edge distros, I think it will be fine. A colleague had some problems with Arch occasionally with newer kernels (especially when using Powertop since it often lags behind a bit). I've also had occasional problems with a very similarly built Toshiba laptop. By the time distros like Ubuntu were using those kernels, all of the problems were fixed. Probably in a 3 year period it only happened twice, so it wasn't a huge deal since I was expecting to have occasional problems.
I'm a little surprised you didn't mention anything about police being held accountable when responding with unreasonable force to anonymous tips. If we are going to start talking about fixing this issue, I'm not sure getting rid of blocked numbers is going to materially impact these outcomes.
