It's so disturbing that "integrity in journalism" and "not political" (as an adjective) has become synonymous with advocating causal relationships between behavior and race/sex.

Assuming that all of those relationships are absolutely true, and would hold in a world of equal opportunity that didn't reward conforming to certain stereotypes, or punish deviating from them; even in that world, you'd assume that there'd be far more important issues at all times than these tiny postulated differences.

NYT is awful, but just in the way all corporate media outlets are awful; they cater to the powerful, and protect an encourage industries in which they are also invested.
> Cron jobs are the definition of the anti pattern of treating servers like pets and not cattle

What's old is new again. Much of clean distributed systems development is now built on, what is essentially, scheduled period operations. They're pretty much the least complicated ways to loosely couple domain logic in distributed systems that follow eventually-consistent semantics. They're also a good model for the functionality of many distributed scheduling systems like Kubernetes, AWS' ECS Scheduled Tasks, and more.

Kubernetes even goes so far to have Jobs (batch operations) and CronJobs (scheduler that creates Jobs).

There was an application for the early B&W Macs that used motion to try to create the perception of colour. It didn't really work for me but is probably the same effect.
I think this just shows that tolerance is a self defeating concept. Perhaps the celebration of tolerance should be replaced with celebration of other virtues like humility, empathy, patience, understanding and honest debate in search of truth. Tolerance itself seems to be bred out of the nihilistic view that there are no ultimate truths and thus all ideas are to be equally tolerated.
I think it’s a Moire effect from the patterned background being resized and no longer 1:1 with actual device pixels. Changing zoom level and then scrolling on my iPad changes the appearance of the flashing.
I love the Feynman Algo. I hold over 60 patents (not bragging) often times colleagues will ask me if I can teach them to be innovative. After being asked this question a number of times and giving it a lot of thought, the answer I give now is the following:

"No, no one can teach you to be innovative or creative, you already are. Humans are the most innovative creatures in the history of this planet, innately, look at all we have created. All you need to do is to un-learn to not be creative. We are all constantly taught, either in school, the military, by our family or by our peers, our company we work for, whatever... to NOT be creative; to in effect comport. First un-learn that. It will unleash your creative/innovative abilities."

Jeff Bezos may not be a physicist but somewhere along his path he learned to stop NOT being innovative.
If the law is the "intolerance" of society to those who behave anti-social, then yes it's true. But so many nowadays try to justify their own radical ideas by citing this...

I think they expect to not have to face another Google or Facebook to compete with by hiring everyone at 3-4x. Then employees just rotate among the big techs. The big techs then decide where they want to compete with each other... e.g Netflix and amazon video/prime... so if stocks decline I’d expect a rise in bonus or base pay or more stock.
"how to change your mind" is about psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and it's a pretty good read on the subject of psychedelics. Couldn't put it down, highly recommended.
It is very easy to get an oscillator when designing an amplifier. There is a deep physical principle causing this effect and it actually takes work to get around. You see the same thing in cars swerving out of control, when they hit the brakes instead of the accelerator.

The fact that it gets 60Hz from the grid confounds the results and might not be meaningful. The AI could for all we know have an easier time with the more difficult task of designing an amplifier.

Perhaps they should just prohibit price and coverage changes mid-year. It's fine if prices change from year to year, but what's not fine is if the drugs that are covered are suddenly not covered after you enroll in a medical plan for that year. Prices should be locked in for the following year by summer of the previous year and in the fall of the previous year when people start shopping for insurance plans, insurers should be able to provide a list of medications that they will guarantee to be covered.
The issue you seem to have with it is that people are convincing themselves a group is intolerant, so your implication is that the group isn't really intolerant. I actually only rarely see people argue for "unlimited" intolerance of some groups - often, for instance, they don't pursue a legal amendment to absolutely stop these people speaking, but rather suggest a valid tactic would be to not give them platforms.

So the issue here ins't tolerance itsef, but rather its demarcation. I'm sure we would both agree that there are intolerant groups in society, and if the paradox holds any imperative force at all, then we ought to put our best philosophic and critical work towards finding in what cases that's true. That doesn't mean we should simply tolerate groups and stop looking into the matter.
Is a 'Stack' the Best Way to Understand Everything? (2017)
The key to being a good story teller, is telling the same story over and over again, refining it and removing any fluff from the story. This is what separates great comedians from just ok comedians as well. They're telling a story that has been refined in front of an audience to land just right.

I agree. While you can accomplish some really interesting things with Proxy, I think that this article presents some poor examples that are actively harmful. I don't expect `delete` to be O(N) (actually worse if you consider the `ownKeys` implementation. I don't expect setting a property (sort) to invoke an expensive sorting operation. The list keeps going.

While I appreciate what the author is trying to accomplish, I think this is an example of what not to do as far as code is concerned.

Most of my practical usage of Proxies to date have been limited to some debugging tools that I wrote for AngularJS to help detect property changes that occur outside of a digest cycle. Don't think I've had any use cases that I've shipped to production code yet, though I believe Vue is considering using proxies for their reactivity model in the future to avoid the need for `Vue.get` and `Vue.set` for previous unknown properties or deletions.
Almost every position can be framed as a demand for tolerance. I just want to drive above the speed limit. I'm not hurting anyone. You can drive in whatever speed you prefer. Everyone who tries to stop me is intolerant.

So implicit in calling someone "intolerant" without qualification is "intolerant of these things, that I think should be tolerated". This is how "I can tolerate everything except intolerance" becomes "I can tolerate anything except the outgroup"[1], that is, those people that have different ideas about what should and shouldn't be tolerated.

it would basically split the learning across 2 years instead of 1, so hopefully it wouldn't require additional time. spend half the time each year; test rudimentary knowledge the 1st year, mastery in the 2nd year.

but if necessary, maybe performing arts could be pushed to non-profits to administer outside of school (as is often the case already).

and i'd suspect final year students would help teach each other in electives. maybe get freshmen from college majoring in the subject. in college, teaching assistants are often only a couple years ahead of you anyway.

i was just imagining how one room schoolhouses of yore (like on little house on the prairie) would work. =)
This is a really ridiculous article written by someone with a libertarian, rather than scientific, agenda. While MMT does have its issues, it is a promising future direction for macroeconomics, especially as neoclassical economics has shown more and more problems.
Couple of months ago I changed jobs and have moved to a new city with my family. Due to unusual working hours I keep separate bed in my tiny office (10 square meters or roughly 100 square feet).

As soon as I have moved I have started having trouble with my work which I initially assumed was due to me being overworked and tired with the entire hoopla around the change.

Only after about 3 months I have finally figured out to keep the room door open at night to allow the air to circulate. It immediately helped. My office in my previous flat was not tight and the air always flowed even when the doors were closed. The new one is completely sealed when the doors are closed.

Going to meetups, talking to those who been there done that, mentors. Being able to talk through things with someone is invaluable.

Also talking to those who don't know (about any given topic generally) forces you to think and talk/agrue for/justify/reassess differently.

Find a person who challenges you, as opposed to a yes person who agrees with everything.
As long as it's a reliable connection it's not all that bad. Annoying, but you adapt.

But having an unreliable line is a whole different story. When things stop working and you can't do anything, can't plan for it - you loose your flow. It might sound funny or even wrong given what's going on there, but this was hands down the biggest boon to my life quality when living in China.
Maybe. I studied CS and bioinformatics. You end up competing with both pure CS folks and also the bio folks that are bioinformaticians. Still I generally agree that some domain expertise is helpful.
Python's solution is to throw a StopIteration exception when the iterator runs out. That works out ok as long as you don't manually throw it in weird places, but a naive implementation could have high overhead because exceptions are expensive.

PHP's iterators have separate methods for advancing to the next element, checking if there's a current element, and getting the current element. That's cumbersome, and requires keeping extra state, but it's abstracted over so it doesn't typically matter. I think it mimics a bizarre old way of iterating through arrays.

There are multiple ways to signal the end. Javascript's is pretty clean.
Looking at my monitor pixels with a good loupe, the gray is made of red+green pixels in a Bayer pattern. So the scrolling is making a purple effect, probably in our aforementioned weird human visual system.

update: Bayer pattern is wrong term. The MacOS background is a red+green checkerboard. The HN background is a vertical stripe of red+green.

Maybe all true with regards to cost considerations, but it doesn't support the notion above that a candidate's wasted time and money (vacation time and sick time costs money for an FTE) and a company's wasted time are somehow .. 'equal'.
> Public & untrusted != Unencrypted

This is exactly my point.
TLS has the benefit of a world-wide PKI built around it to attest to authentication.

I was trying to note the risks to PKI-less / web of trust participants, and should have called that out explicitly.

Mostly because I'd much rather live in an encrypted world where WoT is the dominant mode, vs corporate-controlled PKI. And the biggest risks there seems like the step no one can get around in ordinary use.
> Consecutive calls to next() will always produce { done: true }.

Not necessarily. You can make recursive generators which never "terminate". For example, here's a codegolfed version of a recursive generator which represents a n + 1 sequence:

p=function*a(x){yield x;yield*a(x+1)}(0)
This is how you weaponize legislation. I 'll be damned if "They are going after the big guys". Just reading the ruling tells you that any DPA can come up with any kind of justification if they have a beef against you. Not only the law is vague, now they can fine our businesses because we have "buttons and links on which it is required to click to access complementary information". And this is only the DPA of France. There are much more corrupt governments and officials across EU countries. Romania is already having some fun with it. Good luck to everyone , but i m expecting this to backfire spectacularly in the medium term.
Effects of CO2 Concentrations on Human Decision-Making Performance
An idea not often discussed around this quote is that tolerance isn't actually virtuous, and, is perhaps itself a racist/classist/otherwise-exclusionary idea.

The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Junior (in whose honor I had a day off of work today) never once called for 'tolerance', the boycotts and sit-ins were not a demand for tolerance - they were a demand for integration. To tolerate is to "otherise" - you are _allowed_ to continue being as your are, but on the outside. To integrate, you do not require permission, but you do not continue as you are - both "sides" are transformed by the process.

I think that we should abandon the idea of tolerance as an inherent virtue and look for pathways for mutually acceptable integration, rather than building rigid islands of tolerance.

Yeah, California law has no delay if the right sign is posted. I don’t think that’s uniform across the US though.
That’s what I was just about to say. Also, I think the limit of 5 is still too much - probably 2 is better.
Security isn't on or off. If you think it is then "you don't deserve [...]" It seems like reasonable trade off.
but some people are introverts. so it’s not very inclusive to have any event as an extrovert would be more likely to go and make connections and introverts would be discriminated. maybe we should ban all events
What is the current tech bubble, exactly? Those companies you mentioned have absolutely massive revenues and profits, and plenty of non-tech people and companies are responsible for those revenues and profits. This was not the case in the earlier bubble (lots of overvalued companies with little or no revenues).

What seems more likely is that the little startups will get crushed as VC funding dries up.
The front end requires 32-bit support and definitely doesn’t build on 10.14.

Well... poop. That's what I get for staying up to date.

I've wanted to run Mac OS 8 on my current Macs for a while now, but the current batch of emulators have been far too complicated for my casual uses. This will hopefully be the key, once it's brought up to 64 bits.
I will go with 'understanding RESTful' with this one. I think that is the concept which separates everything 'backend'.
Yes, but the point is that you should be targeting the idea, not the person. That doesn't mean that what you do can't affect the person, only that you shouldn't do anything that affects the person beyond what is necessary to defend tolerance.

So, you enforce that gay people can marry, but you don't go after people who oppose gay marriage for their opinion.

>The guy who collected $20m on Gofundme for 'the wall' comes to mind.

Can you explain how this guy is a scammer? It looks like everyone who donated before the Gofundme plan switched from "donate it to the government" to "pay to build it ourselves" is having their money automatically refunded to them unless they explicitly opt in to the new approach, and donations still keep rolling in from people opting in to this new we'll-just-build-it-ourselves approach. Where's the scam?

Whether or not the corporate tax cuts put us more in line with other developed Western nations is immaterial. It was not balanced with other new revenue sources or cuts to federal programs. The GOP also pushed it as a big deal for the poor and middle class, which is only (somewhat) true for the short term. That is what news outlets were pissed about.
Right now there's likely to be 100 different prices for almost any medicine or procedure - it depends on who's paying. I think one of the frustrating aspects is that if you are uninsured, you are likely to pay the HIGHEST rate - even though you are likely to be the least able to afford it.

I agree that on non-generic drugs that the price would likely remain high - however if everyone paid the same rate (low or high) then it would at least discourage some of the type of pricing we see now where a procedure is provided below cost to a specific group of users to make sure those members (i.e. customers of specific insurance companies) are able to be kept "in network", while charging much, much higher rates to others to make up the difference.

Your comment reminds me of a PyCon 2017 talk by Raymond Hettinger where he details the improvements in Python dictionaries from 2.7 to 3.6 which effectively amounted to rediscovering and re-implementing what was standard in databases decades ago.

The tests asserting certain properties are just type checks, albeit weak and less-safe ones. If you have to make sure a property exists then that is 100% not a logic concern. It's a check on the structural integrity of the module.

You can eliminate a whole group of tests in TS that you would otherwise need in a JS project.
That's different. The comment you're responding to was talking about people who want to pollute more even if they don't make any money doing it.
I see they do, but their BTU's are very low - I see the Fujitsu RLS3H, which goes down to -26C only outputs 12,000 BTU at that temperature. To heat a house at that temperature you'd need 5-10 (if not more) of those.

Not sure how possible such an idea is, but why not create a public utility that creates essential medication for the lowest possible price? In the end Medicare seems to pay already huge amounts of money for some medications and there must be know-how in the federal government or other public institutions on how to manufacture medications.

I'm not trolling. Like clean water, this is maybe an area were society should not tolerate market failure or cronyism.
"happily prevent gay marriage by force or much worse."

This seems to neatly capture the problem. If you can paint the other side as irrational, it excuses almost any pre-emptive bad behavior.

Believing something is wrong does not mean the adherents are out to kill people or use force against them. The adherents also think gluttony is an evil, yet candy bars and refined carbs remain freely available.

And so, at that level of careless prejudice, it does not justify the use of "force (political or otherwise)" to "stop them." The President might as well announce that Karl Popper supports the idea of a Muslim ban.
These fines are really just a way for European govts to claw back money which they feel they are owed by American tech companies for being successful in European markets. In a global world, that's a wrong way to look at things. It is time to cut admin fat in EU govts and stop penalizing productive businesses.

I know my comment will be deemed unsubstantive but I have to say: as a man I felt identified in that text, all women I've been with were like that. That's why the idea of consent feels so alien to me: it goes against my very experience with the (different) women I've been with.
Honestly I don't understand this mass hysteria about programming questions. If you go over any algorithms textbook you'll see all the algorithms that will ever be asked by any company in the world, ever. One time I was interviewing for Google, in the very last phase, and apparently this was one of the hardest question they ask. The question was just asking me to implement MaxFlow algorithm (of course not directly). I don't think there is any textbook in the world that won't go over maximum flow. Besides, usually they don't need you to solve the problem in entirety but to show them you can make some progress on the problem.
Possibly, yes. The senseless up and down of society has, however, driven humanity to land on the moon, so I guess it's good enough to keep us going.

So as long as it keeps going ad infinitum, that's also progress; constant change.
