I disagree. Even the developed world is still lacking in many cities. New York City could be cleaner, have a nicer transit system and guide tourists better. You can also have more TSA workers.

Neither one is foundational to web development. If you were to push most beginners to Rust, they'd likely quit before ever tasting success. The "fast or well" equivalency is a false one. Rather, a beginner should focus on learning the basics first. You don't put a first time driver in a Ferarri...Rust is a Ferarri.

This is simply not how the brain works. "Taking offense" comes out of a mix of low-level mental responses and emotions, bubbling up into the conscious mind from below, rather than being the outcome of a top-down rational thought process which one could "choose" to switch off.
I am really confused by the use of “elites” in recent times. What is actually meant by the term? Am I an elite if I have finished my PhD? Do I need to be in the 0.1%? It’s such a broad term that it basically becomes useless as it means totally different things to different people...

From my perspective I am not really afraid of elites per se but false information (or lying people) spreading which enables unsocial and unethical behavior not only to continue but to thrive.

You can compare humanity to a human body... what you are describing is an auto-immune disease where your own anti-bodies are attacking your own body... just because there are cells which are “higher up in the nevous system and decide what the body should do”?

If the cells are working healthily in your interest, let them be... if they are misfunctioning and causing harm, by any means, try to replace them. Throwing around with general terms is not helping anyone in this situation.

Then you also disagree with the survey's definition that "Scientific development" = "Data analysis + Machine learning" = 28% of the users.

You agree that there is a mismatch between their classification and yours, and believe it should be 100%.

This supports my argument that their definition is not useful. Rather, it could have been "foobar programmers", and been a more useful as it wouldn't have come with a large amount of existing associations with different meanings.
I am aware of the origin of the word. I am distinguishing between the generic notion of a meme (which as you pointed out simply means "transmittable idea", which is an incredibly general concept) and the specific notion of an Internet Meme (and, as in OP, 'meme culture', which surely refers to Internet meme culture, and not the culture of transmittable ideas in general).

The later misuse of the word meme to refer only to image macros is also a separate shift.

This doesn't make any sense. If you are the sole provider of a drug that is the only drug that can cure a certain illness then it makes sense to charge every single customer exactly as much as they can afford. (probably enough to bankrupt them) You'd expect extreme price discrepancy in those cases.

This applies even if the drug is just the best one for what it does.

> “Starting work without a contract is like putting on a condom after taking a home pregnancy test,“ says Mike.

Sure, contracts are a mechanism for people who don't trust each other to work together. But clear contracts only provide some leverage, if things go bad. And even with contracts that seem clear, there are still many ways to get screwed. As in, "I have no reachable assets, so fuck you."

Over many years, working as a consultant, I rarely had more than verbal contracts. Often, just telephone conversations, and then emails to create records.

And even so, I almost always got paid. Sometimes it took months, it's true. But really, my allies were typically the people I reported to. Although I never actually stated it clearly, clients that paid promptly (and paid at higher rates) got scheduling priority.

Maybe that could have been part of my standard contract. But I'm not sure how useful that would have been. I mean, suing my clients would have been rather awkward, no?
I thought the splat was ...
Of course it is justified: you can only prove that kind of abuse by making it glare: otherwise, the “secrecy” of the peer-review process is the excuse.
It was by James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian, and Helen Pluckrose. They submitted papers with fictitious names and institutions. They were not leveraging their own reputations (besides the publication's, if they were accepted, and a Richard Baldwin who lent his identity for some of them.) They spent time reviewing and citing existing work, so they could legitimately claim to be building on it, but then try to go in the most absurd directions possible, so absurd that any self-respecting academic publication ought to immediately reject it with disgust, and see what happened. 7 out of 20 such papers were accepted, 4 were published, they received 4 invitations to peer-review other papers, and 1 "gained special recognition for excellence."

I also believe what they did was justified. They did actual science and revealed that a number of publishers within this field demonstrate such a strong preference for virtue-signaling papers that they have lowered the bar for critical thought in both content and review.

One of the honeypot papers won an award. That shows you how obvious the publisher bias is, and how obvious it must have been to these people before they decided to do something about it.

Not only did these individuals risk their careers to help save a dying system with this project, they held themselves to a pretty high standard of execution.

Even the legit examples are bullshit, I hate the term self-made (b|m)illionaire because almost all of them came from some kind of privilege that enabled it, and lucky circumstances that precipitate their rise. Take these Atlassian blokes who like to tell the story of starting a company on $20k of credit card debt and a dream to make a living wage without working for someone else. That story doesn't mention they came from rich white families who got them into prestigious high schools and gave them all kinds of networking advantages. It doesn't mention that unlike most of us they could take their $20k debt risk because they already had charmed lives with fallback options that most of us don't have.

Self made wealth is almost always a product of an entire community.
This applies to hospital and doctor charges too, not just prescription drugs. I was shocked when I found out that "20% copay" is simply a lie.
This is not included in the terms I see (it redirects to specific terms for my country https://www.spotify.com/dk/legal/end-user-agreement/#s9)

If I google the new text, I find articles from yesterday about Spotify changing their terms in order to ban users using adblockers. So it appears that up until now, users has not had any agreement with Spotify that they will not block or circumvent ads.
Ah. So they could have many copies of those tapes, and quickly replace ones that broke, right?
If only people were so homogenized that you could put them in boxes like that. Your comment is not constructive, and you are speaking as if you have an objective argument rather than a highly subjective one. If you feel so strongly about your opinion, articulating it in the way you have done is sure to convince no one.
>Also, the idea that the errors software developers make don't have a broad impact on society is a bit of an eyebrow-raiser for me

It’s also an eyebrow raiser to me, given that’s not even close to what I said. “Having an impact != misrepresent”.

I suspect I’ll be a long time waiting for you to make any correction to your comment that misrepresented what I said though, which is funny given the conversation.

I used Spotify during a Sprint promo (when they were my carrier way back when). At one point, I received an email stating that an update to the terms was made. I imagine they still do this, but I guess they could just as easily have stopped, not certain.

A lot of services that I’ve signed up with will announce new terms either via email (quick search of my email lists the most recent ones as Papa Johns, PlayStation, Disney Movie Rewards, Skype, Gamestop) or on next launch of app (Blizzard and Steam being prominent ones off the top of my head). I don’t know many that announce they will in advance though (ie at sign up saying they’ll communicate changes to you), so probably better to be proactive than reactive? I don’t know.

Maybe not spelled out as such, but in section 8 under rights a user provides to Spotify, the ability to serve ads to you is there.

At least in the US terms. No idea for other countries.
Granting Spotify rights means that the user allow them to show them ads. It's in there to protect Spotify. A user agrees not to sue them, if Spotify put ads on their phone.

It has nothing to do with whatever the user does to avoid being exposed to those ads.

I think cooking will be a great hobby of mine as an analytical and creative mind. This seems natural with all the different permutations, properties, and parameters of ingredients e.g. texture, flavor profile, acidity, heat etc, along with myriad preparation and cooking methods with varying nuanced levels of precision.
When I worked at Yandex (aka Russian Google) there were two internal social networks. The official one, where work-related content was posted, and a secret anonymous imageboard known as "yachan". It was used to anonymously complain about various things or people at Yandex, but there were also some sexist, racist and other -ist posts as well. I wouldn't be surprised if Google has a secret chan-style imageboard too, hopefully it's less toxic though.

Peer review is supposed to catch cases like Sokal's. As an editor, if you are not qualified to read the paper, then you should try to contact someone who is, or suggest publication in a different journal.

But the problem goes deeper than that. Sokal intentionally included meaningless sentences, self-contradictory sentences, and scientifically false sentences. On none of these was he called out by journal editors or reviewers.
I'm CTO and co-founder of a company that is in the legaltech space and spend a lot of my time thinking about how to fix contract issues.

I've idolized and watched this video many times.

Here is the truth of most everything in business: Asymmetric power structures.

Walmart is offering you a deal, but they don't allow strikeouts in their contract. You must sign the boilerplate. You do it because a deal with Walmart will change your life and you accept the risks.

My point is that very infrequently do two sides of a contract have equal leverage. I ran my own consulting company for 10 years and even as we grew there was always a bigger fish that we really wanted and even needed to survive.

The other way of looking at it would be who has "fuck you money?" or the "willingness to walk away". Sometimes both sides do, but a lot of the time, only one side does.

While I find this video satisfying, I'm not sure how much it actually helped me because as soon as I have the leverage, definitely, I'll make the terms the way I like them, but the opportunities have not been as frequent as I would have hoped.

Somebody is always twisting my arm or I'm twisting their arm.

This thread about what to charge is also interesting and enlightening (especially the concept of asshole rates):

Ask quants if they feel that it’s a balanced view of quants though. It might seem accurate to you, but you’re not a quant now, nor were you one during the era of LTCM.

Thanks!

Scheme handlers (or stores[1]) were initially implemented that way. There is a protocol of methods taking references, and you implement these methods, for example -objectForReference:, with, as you write, runtime parsing of the reference (often, but not necessarily strings).

Having implemented a good number of stores[2] and scheme handlers[3] that way, I can tell you it gets old quick. :-)

Given the emphasis I put on Polymorphic Identifiers in Objective-Smalltalk, it was obvious that I needed better language support for scheme-handlers, generalising the "properties" concept found in many languages now (Objective-C, C#, Swift, Python) with path- and pattern-matching as found in various REST toolkits was one of those in-the-shower epiphanies.

The patterns ( /:table/count ) mean that you don't actually have to have a separate endpoint for each path, you can group semantically related paths as you wish. There is also a wildcard pattern (the asterisk) if you want to just match everything beyond that. So for example:

/property/* { |= { 3.} }

Returns the number "3" for all paths prefixed by "/property".

/property/*:path { |= { path. } }}

Returns the remainder of the path (or you can use it for your own custom matching).

> But does that justify what they did?

Yes, it does.

These journals are an absolute joke, make a mockery of any serious attempt to advance knowledge and understanding, and deserve to be pilloried. Their standards of rigour and review are shockingly poor and as such they do not provide a suitable vehicle for the publication of genuine research, or for measured consideration of the content they do publish.

Just this week I ran across this, where a couple of the academics concerned were interviewed by Joe Rogan late last year:

Here is a counterpoint. I worked with software development at Ericsson for about 10 years before XP and agile came out. I too had a private office, and I recognize a lot of what you describe. While it was nice, it was not a very productive environment. Each release of new SW was enormous and typically took a year or more to get out. The developers had no real idea of how things worked in production. Lots of useless documentation was produced. Later on, RUP and tools like Rational Rose were introduced that made things worse. Basically, things worked out despite the process and tools, not thanks to them.

In all my jobs since, I have worked in a more agile setting. By that I mean that the team is small (less than 10 people) and sits together with some sort of product owner. Not private offices, but rooms where only people working on the same thing sit. Frequent releases, fast feedback. Very few meetings, most issues can be worked out in the team. In my view, this is a quiet environment, but occasionally there are dicsussions that you overhear (but that is not a problem). In these types of environments I have been much more productive than I was at Ericsson.
I don't know about you, but I think I would run up the white flag after being nuked once.
I used to alternate hands, but I dislike pricking my tips on either hand. Using the other two segments of the finger doubles the amount of available segments so now I only prick the right hand, as I'm somewhat left-handed.

And as we're deep into the nitty-gritty: My device (Accucheck Mobile) shows the count of remaining strips when turning it on. If I take modulo 8 of that number I always know which segment to use, so I automatically distribute wear. Except that the cartridges start at 50, which means my index finger gets more pricks. I should really lobby Accucheck to make a cartridge with 56 checks! :-)
The power in any relationship lies with the one who can tell the other to fuck off and make it stick.
I'm not arguing that sexualizing minors is good, I'm just saying that there is a massive difference between the sexual exploitation that goes into the production of actual child pornography and the posting of girls in bikinis.

> 'memes' in the traditional sense (pretty much a general term for things that spread virally.)

The original meaning:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme

The word meme was “coined by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976)[11][16] as a concept for discussion of evolutionary principles in explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. Examples of memes given in the book included melodies, catchphrases, fashion, and the technology of building arches.[17]”
