I know people are being down on this comment, but it's important to know that people do this, which might help people get jobs.

Google is known to can applications if there are typos in either the resume or cover letter. Supposedly there is a statistical correlation that backs this. While this seems arbitrary and absurd it is important to know it's a thing so you can at least work around it.
The video in question was not filmed with a gopro on the rifle. The gopro was on his hat/helmet. Perhaps you should be raging against helmet mounts for gopros, which facilitate this sort of crime no less than gun mounts?

(In fact, the helmet mounts facilitate live streamed mass murder more than rifle mounts do. Mass murderers often bring along numerous guns and would have to spend time swapping the camera between guns.)

Edit:

Incidentally, those same rifle mounts are for sale in Germany and the UK (and likely many other countries):

20 year vim user here... There is a really decent VIM plugin that works with all of the jetbrains IDEs I have used that I would recommend. It will even read your vimrc file! I wouldn’t write Java or C# without an IDE (IntelliJ IDEA and Rider respectively) and the vim plugin makes adjusting to them much less painful.
There's definitely still a cost to static types.

Types can be thought of as a way to defensively program - encode what you can to avoid runtime errors. At minimum this means you have to think about your constraints - we may both agree that that's a fine tradeoff, but it's a tradeoff nonetheless.

Erlang, an actor based system, does not do this. Instead, it assumes that even if you added types youd run into failures and any reliable system should spend its efforts not trying to avoid that but to deal with it.

Erlang allows you to instead encode failure modes in an extremely resilient way (supervisory trees) and to trivially move code across networks to avoid hardware failures.

Languages like Python, in my opinion, are the worst of both worlds. Python encourages lots of shared mutable state but, until recently, offered very little static analysis. Time was instead spent on testing code - something that I do not believe it does any better than Erlang or a statically typed language.

To me, the answer is sort of... why not both? We can use actors and supervisory trees and static types. As an example, I write Rust services that execute on AWS lambda in response to queue events. I get state isolation and all of the good bits of the actor model, and static types.

Pony is a more fine grained solution, offering static types and in-process actors.
If it's not JSON-oriented, it's bad.

I've considered doing something like this in my own city. Northern Virginia counties and cities routinely get listed as some of the richest in the country, often top 5 or top 10. Yet basic municipal services like roads and schools are in shambles. It's ludicrous to think that we can't fund basic infrastructure, in a town with property taxes on personal vehicles. We are a DC bedroom community, with some of the highest property values in the country, the likes of which rival or sometimes even top Silicon Valley. Yet somehow, even with a Democrat majority in our city and state legislatures, we can't fund shit.
In most species, dancing is about banging. (when they dance of course) Some birds will dance to signal their fitness to a female, right before reproduction. And the rules can be pretty intricate too.

It probably is less of a signal in humans, though. But I can't say I haven't successfully mated a few times via dancing.
>>Facebook failed to block 20% of uploaded New Zealand shooter videos

Fixed title: Facebook blocked 80% of uploaded New Zealand shooter videos, or 1.5 million of them.
If anything, I think censorship is what causing the rage of those people. A meaningful discussion about immigration is frowned upon and anybody who object mass immigration or immigration from certain places is immediately branded and silenced. What we need is more free speech in NZ and AU, not less, in order to prevent the next shooting.
Actually PHP is supported if you test framework can produce JUnit files.

I'm 34 and have personally experienced significant changes in my face thanks to orthotropic pressure / mewing, and have the photos to prove it.

In addition, my bite has been stable without a retainer, whereas in the past I've had braces twice.

My background is I had an undiagnosed mild tongue tie that I discovered a bit over a year ago. I previously couldn’t press my tongue against the roof of my mouth, which led to a tongue thrust on swallowing, which led to an open bite, and my nasal breathing was very constrained.
Feels like solving a cultural problem.. but one that affects a large part of the software development community. The aversion to writing documentation seems pretty deep set in most developers :)
It is a regrettable situation that is playing into attacker's hand.

Now a single tiny state gets to censorship worldwide? How is that not an inflammatory action?
> I wonder if the OOP "style" of obfuscating program behaviour by using more code (class hierarchies, overridden functions, etc.)

Class hierarchies have benefits and drawbacks, but the very idea is that they result in less code (by reuse). The whole point is to make behaviors more apparent, not less. Things really go off the rails when we only consider programming languages and not programming environments — a decent environment will make behaviors very apparent!
You seem to be mixing two rationales in there:

1. That TV and cinemas are not allowed to publish such material. That just pushes the question further back down the line. Why should such content not be broadcast?

2. That minors might be exposed to it. Minors should not have unfettered access to Facebook and YouTube anyway. The consquences of displacing the proper locus of control from parent to state ends up making minors out of all of us.

(Note: in this case I do not believe that there is anything to be gained from watching such videos -- I may be wrong. The objection is that, as always, the ability to exercize such control in the hands of government means that other, potentially more important information becomes censorable.)
I'm a defender of free speech and am completely against actions like Reddit banning /r/watchpeopledie. But here's the response from Liveleak which (somewhat surprisingly) I found clarified my own thoughts on the matter: https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=uSQT_1552831454

Relevant quote:
"Previously we have risked the ire of viewers by refusing to show the glossy promo videos for ISIS. The ones shot on DSLR's, with depth of field, careful framing, and murders stage managed for the camera. Whilst we may carry media showing the most terrible of events we don't want to be a vehicle of choice for those who carry these events out. This is a very important distinction for us."
That's a stronger argument for sure.
> GMail doesn't have a single meaningful feature that other clients didn't have before

That's an objectively incorrect statement. It had:

1. 1GB storage when every other email provider offered like 50 MB at best

2. Superior search

3. Conversational/threaded view for emails

4. Better spam filtering

5. One of the first "dynamic" web applications to use that newfangled "AJAX" stuff to be more responsive and seem faster

Every other email provider was forced to start offering these features and now they seem commonplace. Reminds me of that old joke where someone goes to see a Shakespeare play and complains it was just one cliche after another.
It was not created by the assassin and spread as propaganda.
If no one had recorded anything, but a few months later Al-Qaeda released ground-level videos of the attacks happening, would we ban them then?
I think this example is sort-of silly. It’s basically “there existed in the past people who denied religious beliefs which I also deny therefore they were not completely gullible.” But this argument basically requires one to assume that (a) society was progressing towards the denying of these religious beliefs and (b) that these people were part of the steps of that progress. It all feels very Whiggish.

One can imagine eg a modern day Christian looking back to some roman converting to Christianity and saying that clearly not all Romans were completely gullible.

I do not claim that there is nothing interesting in the history here but I do claim that it isn’t at all about gullibility.
My main complaint is that mainstream media reporting kept referring to the existence and specifics of the video whilst mainstream internet platforms are running around trying to make sure it's not available in any remotedly proper context.

Streisand effect notwithstanding, this is effectively tempting everyone with an ounce of curiosity to seek out the dark corners of the internet that they may have never had a reason to visit before.
When I was undergraduate student I was spending 2-3 hours a day consuming politics in a wider sense. Of course this included daily news but also longer magazine articles and documentaries. Maybe that's just me but oftentimes when I see how people have much more bad lives than I do, I don't feel so bad anymore.

Oh and daily news is often presented in a very boring way, you don't have that so much with in-depth articles or even books about politics, those are sometimes even written in an ironic way. (Stating the obvious but probably it also makes sense not to read too many right wing sources with an aggressive sentiment - although as a proper democrat one should cross read. Still, reading a little tabloid stuff can be really funny btw.)
Are those numbers from data or are they just your gut feeling?
It was partly for you and partly for other readers. It seemed to me that, based on your comment, you may not have known about some of the points I mentioned, like use of G with number modifiers instead of the "colon then <number> then Enter" method. Maybe I should have been more specific, and put the more general points in a separate comment. Also, I guess you may prefer to use the colon method even though the G method is one key less. I know I do at times, too :)
There is absolutely no way you can move your right hand to the arrow keys faster than I can hjkl move in Vim.

I don't even have to move to reach the ESC key because I use ctrl-[ instead. Even if you have perfect memory and perfect motor control to enable hand repositioning, just the act of moving the hand from one location to another and back will cost time that "power" vim users don't waste.
> If I offer you a choice between language A and language B...

Realistically you don't have the choice between hypothetical buffet languages A and B, you have a choice between Java or C# and Python or Javascript and maybe a handful others. Those are the type systems you will have to deal with, most likely.

I'm sure the type inference in Haskell (or similar) is fantastic but virtually nobody uses those languages so those benefits are purely theoretical for most programmers.

By the way, static type inference in Javascript also has gotten pretty good and in many cases it can catch all of the bugs that an ordinary type checker would catch.
Care to link to a good methodology? I've been intrigued by this but there's a lot of conflicting information out there
so you're suggesting that the authors definition is to narrow or unrepresentative?

Consider this though, what is the say, American public's image of meritocracy in culture? It's the dishwasher who becomes a millionaire, or the underdog who makes it big, or the entrepreneur from humble beginnings, shunned by everyone else. In fact if there is an underlying theme to the story of meritocracy, it is that the greater the adversity to overcome, the better the story.

If Inherited wealth and genetic fortune should fall into the definition of meritocracy, why aren't American movies about extremely handsome and intelligent aristocrats born into wealth, carrying forth the family name?

I strongly disagree with the claim that the author redefines the term. He uses the exact definition that is the mind of societies that uphold meritocracy, and it is a blatant myth.

How many people think Gattaca is a meritocratic utopia?
C++ isn't object oriented, it's a hodge-podge mix of many things. It did start out as "C with objects", but that implies it's also C which largely operates without the OO notions of objects.
This is a hilarious book, even if you're a *nix supporter.

Highly recommended.
Teeth are annoying. Mine are ok, but as I get older I start to notice their deterioration.

I've always felt that if there was a part of our anatomy that we should think of replacing completely with an artificial design, it's teeth. We already do so now (at great expense), but it's literally one or two teeth replaced but I'm thinking more along the lines of replacing every single one with something stronger and more efficient for it's intended purpose.

I can't get the back of my tongue up between my molars if I have my front tongue close to my front teeth. I can like either mew my front tongue or back tongue. Any tips?

Also how long did it take you to successfully be able to unconsciously keep your back tongue up? Right now it's hard for me to do it for 10 seconds bc it's so uncomfortable
He’s cringe at best, just as bad as the rest of them at worst. He’s playing for the camera, the audience. I wouldn’t take much of what he says seriously, but that’s just me I guess.

No, because such options are almost completely gone from the market. And I can't honestly believe that there is "no market" for it. It's an anomaly because most PC manufacturers are just trying to imitate Apple.
It is extremely telling to me that of all the comments here, most of them I've seen express concern not with the fact that 50 people were murdered by white supremacists (a number that seems to be rising year over year) but rather attempting to divert the topic into one about censorship and free speech.

I have seen zero proposed solutions or ways of combating the rise of white supremacists because so far, the market place of ideas has not been successful. You're saying that there's a massive wave of censorship, yet white supremacist materials, videos and activity has never been more open and easy to access.
> not comparable to startup founders.

I was referring to early stage startup founders, which are very likely to fail in the first 12-18 months. After a startup receives VC funding or becomes profitable, of course the credentials of its founders stand above the entry-level positions at FAANG. Otherwise, they might just signal a lack of fair judgement.
> It's a cycle that feeds upon itself and has been a successful model

you just don't hear about the failures out there. I bet there's much more failures than there are successes.

If it weren't, banks would've all lent out money to startups!
IIRC the orthotropics explanation for this is because we have much easier to chew foods, we chew much less and have poor tongue posture, leading to skinnier inter-molar width (IMW) and jawbones that are more down and in as opposed to up and out
We’re not going to forget about fascism just because we stopped giving fascist propaganda so much limelight.
You might be attributing too much to the actions of this administration.

And fwiw, real wage growth doesn't look that great. It has actually been negative for the last few months.

I don't think "standing up to dictatorships" is a very strong argument for this administration.

Multiple social priming studies are cited. This is a warning flag given how replication crisis was most pervasive in that entire field.
YC is not typical. It provides you a pre-built network, so if you're not going this route, who you know already makes a huge difference.
Here in the U.K. we’re more or less having this conversation about knives. A lot of stabbing occur, but notably you don’t get hundreds killed and injured from one guy with a knife. Still, knife crime is being used to justify what Americans call “stop and frisk” and what knives are legal to own or carry. I’m in the middle on the topic, insofar as I’m against the usual Tory law and order rubbish, against stopping people to search them, but I agree that you don’t need to walk around a city with a machete or even a kitchen knife. On the other hand predictably the government is taking the opportunity to squeeze social media over what they’re allowed to show. It’s all very cynical, but at least our yearly body count per capita is dwarfed by America’s. We don’t do everything right, but we get that right at least.

And sure, even if we get rid of all the knives, there are still assholes who throw acid at you, but again the scope and severity is reduced. New Zealand had a terrible mass shooting many years ago, and much like Australia restricted access to certain firearms (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramoana_massacre). I expect they’ll further restrict firearms going forward, again like Australia, and while they’ll still have violent incidents they won’t lose 50 lives each time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_New_Zea... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_Austral...

Look at what happened after Port Arthur. The worst attacks were vehicular and arson, and still it takes adding many together to add up to one mass shooting. There is a reason why people outside of America don’t act like guns aren’t part of the problem, and an easy part to address. They’re willing to accept the value of harm reduction, because they look at how many were killed and wounded in just Las Vegas, or the nightclub in Orlando, or Aurora. Look at this list! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_shootings_in_the_United...

America lost more people in the last decade alone to mass shootings than NZ lost in all of their massacres with all weapons and in all circumstances (including wartime) since the 1800’s. In a list of the worst mass shootings in history, you have ISIS terrorism in France, Al Qaeda terrorism in Kenya, Anders Breivik in Norway, terrorism again in Kenya, and the next is Las Vegas. The rest of the list is mostly terrorist incidents in Africa and parts of Europe, mixed with a huge number of mass shootings from average citizens in the U.S. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-deadliest-mass-shoot...

Maybe guns aren’t the problem, but some combination of factors is and Americans as a group seem unwilling or unable to confront those reasons effectively. Other nations do, NZ has and will, and they won’t tear each other apart doing it.
They put themselves in this position of deciding to arbitrarily delete things such that this PR would even be possible.

If they weren't in the business of policing the network this way, the deletions would only be in response to a court order - which do happen. Then they would be in the PR favor by deciding to ignore "another country's" court order, and "exiting that market" if it was a better business decision.

This is one of the grand luxuries of international business, and Facebook is paying for it - in this case - instead of enjoying the privilege.

Someone should tell them PM to change her statement to "Our censorship laws are about to change"
>Didn't know about the older terminal emulator issues with arrow keys though.

NP. Yes, I've found that some people do not know about those issues, which is why I mention them (and also, like others, recommend the use of the hjkl keys) in my quickstart tutorial that I mentioned elsewhere in this thread:

And yet CP aficionados often seem to end up producing their own because it becomes an object of trade on certain black markets. Here's an example from just a month ago: http://www.foxla.com/news/local-news/porn-actress-director-a...

How is it that people who become interested in and start to collect CP would ever become involved in its production, in your model? Having gained access to a product they desire, those people seem to follow the same pattern as enthusiasts of any other taste, and develop an interest in creating their own material, as opposed to being satisfied with that already available.

Crooked teeth “run in my family” but mine are pretty straight.

I always attributed it to my obsession with ripping my teeth out as a kid. Weird, I know. I figured that it gave my teeth room to grow.

After reading this I’m curious if it was due to my parents doing baby-led weaning with me. They started it pretty young and always fed me whatever they were eating.

> There’re upgrade-friendly laptops on the market.

yes, but very few, and going fewer and fewer as we speak. Even Lenovo which was famous for that ends up soldering RAM in their recent models and making the battery a hassle to replace while it used to be on the outside before.
I would go and schedule an interview with an orthodontist instead of relying on the internet, here. "Orthrotropics" appears to be a registered trademark, which is, at the very least, a yellow flag.

A cursory search on details has broken this down to extractive / surgical vs. non-extractive / non-surgical orthodontics, the latter of which has proven to be effective before the palate and growth plates have fused -- in children.

Talk to somebody you trust with a degree in the field.
I don't think I've watched it previously, and I don't have the time to now, but I have to imagine Joe Armstrong interviewing Alan Kay would at least touch on that (although from one comment it sounds like they didn't do more than that).

Romania has a diverse economy, it is not based on mining, you have many multinationals int he big cities because of high education level(high education is free) of the young people.
