That's not laziness. It's just prioritization. It's how not "just adding this one feature" isn't laziness. It's prioritization.

I want to show my character's intelligence. I show her playing a game of chess, surprising the experienced player. The chessboard isn't important. The pieces aren't important. It is a language I share with my audience. They see "this person's smart". They barely see the chessboard.

It's like computer hacking or bombs. The light turns green from red. Our heroes have downloaded the data. The red light blinks, beeping frighteningly loudly as the timer ticks to explosion while the maintenance man walks obliviously by. The audience does not question this because the beep is not a word, the light and the ticking not a phrase, the entire scene is a concept, an entire page. It describes the fact that an explosion is imminent and it will be a surprise to the victims.

The audience has trained itself to see things like this, think concept to concept, by learning the language of the filmmaker. Some are forced out from that flow for other reasons and some just because they aren't proficient in this language that millions know. But ultimately, the shared language develops and most will learn and understand.
Psychology is a field notorious for being derided against as a soft science particularly because of how little data exists with poor sample sizes and ideology / purposeful tampering coming into the way like you've said.

Any meaningful evidence for a conclusion requires a much better understanding of the brain both biologically and also as a function of general cognition. This will require many more breakthroughs within the fields of biology and computer science. We're definitely getting closer and closer everyday on that front, but as of right now, the tools that we have access to are far too crude in my honest opinion.

Psychology in that respect is akin to the alchemy that was a precursor to chemistry. I'm not saying no real science was done by the alchemists of course, just that it was far and away from what the field of chemistry would ultimately become.
What if that was done on purpose to reduce cost/long-term crime, masquerading itself as stupidity?
Lactose-free dairy milk is probably your best bet. Lactaid is the main brand in the US, but in recent years it seems most of the major dairy brands have a lactose-free SKU.
I was replying to a comment that said that if Asian students are spending hours every day preparing for college admissions, then they should be admitted. My point was only that the situation is not as simple as "some people work harder than others," not that affirmative action is necessarily the right answer to the problem. Maybe sending out an army of people to work with elementary and middle schools in Black and Latino neighborhoods to explain to students, parents, and teachers what they should be doing to prepare for college is a better approach. Either way we should not pretend that this is a simple problem with a simple answer.
It would be in comparison to a full scale clay model. Not a computer screen.

Well, I for one don't trust Mike after he forced one of the maintainers to resign and then edited his comment on Github and removed the bit where it said "because Mike forced me to resign".
It seems like that is the actual content of this submission.

It makes sense, too… PayPal was the only payment processor that stood out as having their own currency and balance system. I can see why that would save them a lot of money.
I see. Thank you for sharing your ideas with me.
No, you're all making them hard. It was no problem to book a flight in 2005.

In case somebody wonders, apparently most (if not all) photos and videos are made with Mathematica.

I think that website has been there for quite a time. You can also tell from the technical standard (embedding LaTeX equations as pictures, low-res plots, etc.). Nevertheless plotting in physics is crucial! :)

I think of the iAPX 432 as "over-designed and under-engineered".

Intel was writing architectural checks (bit-aligned instructions, capability-based permissions, "everything is an object") they couldn't cash (very, very bad performance).

I'm a software guy, so naturally I took a course in VLSI design in college. It was fun. This was maybe a year before the iAPX 432 was canceled; our teacher had some sample chips embedded in clear plastic, gewgaws handed out at some conference he'd been to. He passed them around one day in class, and they were huge and there were like four of them in the processor chipset. And I remember thinking "how the heck is that thing going to be fast with all that off-chip traffic?" And of course it wasn't.

Elliot Organick, of Multics fame, wrote a book about the 432 architecture. I just found it on my bookshelf and leafed through it again; I'd forgotten that all of his code examples were in Ada (another "big bet" at the time).
I sense this is a lost cause, but we can already predict ~10 percent of the variance in educational attainment with the genome alone.

Once we get data sets with millions of genomes tagged with their donors IQ, this number will rise. If we can predict, say, 60% of the variance in IQ (based on the genome alone) will you change you mind?

That is, what sort of data would change your mind?

I'll take dotfile madness over registry madness. I have been trying to figure out where in the registry Visual Studio 2015 puts its install location so I can remove that registry value when I reinstall it to put it in it's default location. So far I've wasted a ton of time trying to accomplish this. A single file .VS2015 would be preferable.

Milk may not be the healthy food it was touted to be, but neither are most if not all of these "milks" that are basically mostly water and sugar. I'd take lactose over fructose or glucose any day. That's the main selling point: a slightly sweet, natural drink sweetened by lactose rather than fructose and glucose directly. Otherwise, I might as well drink soda--from looking at the sugar content of most of these "milks" it's roughly as healthy.
I would personally try to move away from python at this point for greenfield projects. The GIL is so baked into the language, if you removed it a bunch of current python code will probably break in subtle ways.

Modern languages need proper multithreading support, static types and fast compile speeds. Use golang, use kotlin, use dart, use anything but python & javascript.
It might have been just one guy, but it was here on hn.

There's multiple references to it being "open source" but no license to back it.
It's stupid to not have a yyyymmdd format anyway. The American mmddyyyy format causes a lot of confusion.

“Celebrated replacement”? I mean, I just walked through the new tunnel for it’s public opening as a curiosity, but I’m not sure it’s celebrated per se.

Don’t get me wrong, I am delighted to see the viaduct go, but I’m not sure the replacement is needed, or really a replacement. I also think that they’re essentially building a surface level highway along the waterfront, which to me diminishes what could have been a truly world-class waterfront.
There is no clear explanation in the README why it is open sourced, nor is there a license file. Being in possession of the files, or being on Github, doesn't necessarily make something open source.
You mean: "I purchased a flight leaving on the 3rd Sunday in February".

But this should be the last resort. You should try and resolve it with customer service first. You should publicly complain about something like this anyways, so you might as well until after that doesn't resolve it before making a charge back.
> Itanium is what EFI was first developed for. Itanium is where the C++ ABI got started.

I’m legit confused. Are those supposed to be good things.
Do they verify the information, couldn't someone use a pseudonym? (Though then your relatives who take the test might be surprised by the new relative they discover..)
As a counterexample the company running public transport where I’m from actually released this just a few days ago. So it doesn’t seem to be impossible to do well.

I switched to soy milk for about four months, but ultimately went back to regular milk because it has less sugar and is less sweet. I imagine without the sugar it’s not as palatable, but it was a noticeable, negative attribute for me.
This type of mindset is not conducive to creating a successful business. Or creating good websites in general.
The background data may be great, but I regularly experience standing at a station telling me the train is on time when it is already late (after the point the train should have left).
Air Asia, like many discount airlines, charges different fees depending on payment method. Paying by bank transfer carries roughly half the fee of paying by credit card. So a lot of people can't do chargebacks (which is part of the reason bank transfers have lower fees in the first place, less risk for the airline).
Yeah but presentation is pretty different from designing. I know where you are coming from, I always tell people pretty pictures comes before practicality when it comes to meeting with management.
From the Github: "because open source is the future."
Something's up. I got a letter a couple weeks back from my kid's school requesting a permission slip for a theater trip on Thursday Feb 2. Couldn't figure out how they landed on that date.
> Open source is the future [...] Consolas [...] became open source as a result of future.

WTF does that even mean ?!
Sure, but my point was not that Harvard's admissions process is the best approach; it was that the situation is not as simple as "Asian kids work harder so they deserve admission to the best schools," which was what the person I was replying to had said.
There's no pleasing everybody.

I strongly prefer apps default to the previously used directory, and the home directory otherwise. IME apps are wrong 99% of the time when they guess their own save location.
Then it's not criminal stupidity, but "just" criminal?
I've been selling on PayPal for at least 17 years now and never had a problem. My case may be rare but I think the reason is pretty simple, whenever anyone has requested a refund I've issued it asap, no questions asked.

PayPal makes that very easy and last time I looked they made it clear that's what they expect.

In their defense, I don't think I can or should expect them to arbitrate a claim for a refund and I can certainly understand why they wont.

Paypal really only has two options. They can either say the money stays with the vendor and buyer beware, or the money always goes back to the buyer and the vendor must deal with any issues that arise from a complaint.

I have a PayPal debit card so I also use PayPal to make purchases. I like having that protection.
Yes, and because cost of production were high, they didn't have much competition before, and so medias were easily bought, and could provide low value infos without consequences.

Now everybody can provide low value or paid content.

But medias had a reputation to be smart and respectable. However, smart and respectable institutions would have identified they messed up, and try to outcompete their low value / paid competition by providing outstanding value.

After all, many start up did in other fields, and it worked.

But that's not what happened. Instead, they complained, attacked competitors and users, used shady strategies but never, ever, changed the service their provided.

I used to consume a lot of news, but the more I had access to various sources of informations, the more I travelled, the more I educated myself, the more I realized how much unreliable and not on my side the big medias were. And so I stoped trusting them.

They didn't adapt. They didn't ask for forgiveness for their mistakes. They didn't try to fix anything. They just try to make it all ok for them again.

And now they are dying.

I have a hard time feeling compassion.
It is open source by virtue of the source being available. There is just no license that allows redistribution or derivative works.
am i missing something, or is there no actual source files in this "open source" release?
I'm really glad to see some cities still invest in unified, balanced public transportation infrastructure like this. Seattle is a great example of what all cities should be striving for.
Perhaps I should have been clearer. There's nothing in the README that suggests that the author has the authority to release it as open source.
By reducing the barrier to entry by, say, making the tests easier (or the use of build systems), then effectively you are reducing the quality of "applicants". Eliminate the barrier completely (get rid of the tests), and it is guaranteed that you will get many more applicants who would not be fit for whatever.

Doesn't this make sense?
Asians at Harvard undergrad are represented at roughly 4x their proportion of the general US population. Assuming that Harvard undergrad values “holistic qualities” (I think it does), then the answer to that may be yes.

Is this the argument that the folks in the lawsuit are making? I don’t think so. The argument to me sounds more like “why can’t Harvard make admissions just based just on a test?”

Short answer: There isn’t a standardized test that does a good job of selecting for the “holistic qualities” that certain schools want. Hence the admissions system that most elite schools use.
Modeling programs make art, CAD is for engineering. They’re very different.
Air Asia, like many discount airlines, charges different fees depending on payment method. Paying by bank transfer carries roughly half the fee of paying by credit card. So a lot of people can't do chargebacks.
They are probably pretty conscious of legal liability. I participated in the investigation of a potential vulnerability at one point in my career, and I was advised to use similar wording at the conclusion of the investigation.
No Italics?
Oh no no. Not like this.

I've to admit I'm a user of Consolas and actually prefer it over all these alternatives (https://app.programmingfonts.org/).
One reason: I like the italics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is a discount airline. They employ all kinds of tactics to part money from the customer, excessive credit card fees on top of a lousy exchange rate, very small baggage allowance hidden in the fine print,
useless insurance offers, etc.

You should be examining the confirmation screen extremely closely with an airline like this. Go ahead and blame them if you want to, but they make money on price, not reputation, and the market has chosen price over quality of service.
It never ceases to amaze me how dumb smart people can be. Without a hint of self-awareness, they get locked into the same partisan boxes as anyone else, yet swear hand-over-heart that they're rationally examining society from an impartial outside perspective.
Thanks for the implication that I’m not smart - I’m sorry to have disappointed you.

More nuanced version of my post - cultural memory is frequently anti sex in many situations almost anywhere you go. Confucianism has tons of taboos around sex. Hindis have fewer but Indian society still has a lot of leftover laws from when the Protestant UK was determining social policy.

The places you see sex positivity and a lack of taboos over nudity are much more secular on measure.
Or any license to say I can use it, period.
Given all the great ideas here, maybe it’s time to fork Python. Ok, so maybe a close derivative as opposed to a true fork.

Given the language names involved (Rust & Python), I’d like to suggest “Copperhead” as a name for it.
I think 3D mouse does pretty much what you ask for though[1]. I'm sure the possibilities are beyond my imagination with VR but I personally just can't see the benefits. Most engineers are pretty good with their abstract of space so I can't imagine VR being a necessity for design.

Can't be the month, it has the right number of days.

Can't be the year, 2018 and 2020 also don't have February 2 on Thursday.

It can't even be the month but only for the starting day, neither January nor March have their 2nd on a Thursday.
Personnally, I think it's too little too late.

They should have told people that 10 years ago, when the IT community started to feel it would go this way, and begun to warn everybody about it.

That's what journalist is about.

Now, they are just repeating what's in everybody's mind.

But society doesn't need parots as journalists. Surprise, we have social medias for that. It needs analysts, reporters, people that help them decrypt the world better.

They completly failed at decrypting the IT world for the last 2 decades, and only started writting about things when a lot of people already understood it and paid the price.

Basically, they don't do their job, and complain we are not supporting them anymore. Sorry but not sorry.
Someone posted a GitHub issue here. https://github.com/PiotrGrochowski/Consolas/issues/1
Easier to jump over, which means that people who otherwise wouldn't have been able to pass, now can easily jump over. It reduces quality, doesn't it? What I meant was that due to eliminated barriers, you may get lower quality. I emphasize may here. Just in case.
It is not okay for some application to store files in My Documents folder. If it's not MY document then it doesn't belong in My Documents.

No, the amplification can only work at the speed of sound, neither faster nor slower. The paper analyzes how the wffect falls apart when you deviate from c.

What you possibly could do is to have multiple laser beams forming a sweeping comb pattern. Depending on dispersiom and other effects, you might be able to do some waveform shaping. But that is very elaborate for a loudspeaker.
Legacy applications may not be websites, and might be stateful (or so I am told).
The accused should not suffer because the courts are clogged. In Canada, a gigantic decision came from our Supreme Court recently that puts an upper limit on the amount of time that can pass before a mistrial has occurred. It has forced the provinces to re-examine their funding of the justice system and in particular public defenders.

Either the courts need more money, or the laws need to change to reduce the number of accused...

eBay had a bug sort of like this that prevented posting items for sale for about three years.

You’re assuming that no children of Harvard alum would be qualified to get in even without legacy status. This is a woefully incorrect assumption.

Also note that a full 70% of legacies are denied admission. Being a legacy is hardly a golden ticket.
There's something really strange happening here. It looks like a few days ago someone anonymously edited the wikipedia page to add a designer and claim it's open source, linking to the Github page that was just created a few minutes before:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Consolas#Open_Source?
I've seen systematic portfolio managers who switched firms and then took a year or more to begin trading -- when they expected a maximum transition time of a couple months -- because they took for granted the tools and data infrastructure at the prior firm. Even tasks as mundane as handling ticker changes can have an unexpectedly large time cost when you're the one who has to handle them.

That may be why there doesn't seem to be a large rentech diaspora, as opposed to Julian Robertson's tiger cubs, for example. One can't take the process with them and it's really hard to reinvent.
