This presupposes that you are better at finding the best version of the argument than the person actually making the argument. This is often the case, because the person making the argument often didn't put in much effort.

It is not always the case, though, and you do yourself a disservice by assuming that it is.
Sorry to say, it looks like you're approaching this backwards.

You shouldn't be looking for resources, steps, advice, pitfalls, experiences, or anything else.

You should be looking for a customer whose hair is on fire.

Then, and only then, should you be looking for whatever it takes to build them a fire extinguisher. Anything else is a waste of time.
The "kind" field is one of [uninitialized, Latin-1, UCS-2, UCS-4]. I'm not sure how it would pick UTF-8.

(In memory usage, the Python way is strictly worse: adding one 4-byte character to an ASCII string forces the entire string to be upgraded to UCS-4. The advantage of the Python way is O(1) access to codepoints, but that's an operation that rarely comes up in practice, when dealing with Unicode strings.)

I'm not sure how that would be compatible with Python, either. Either you're giving up string[index], or you're causing this one subscript operation to take O(n) time, or you need a new index type just for strings (which is what Swift does). None of these seem very 'Pythonic'.

EDIT: Apparently recent versions of pypy solve this by computing their own index into your string, which seems like it would be terrible for memory usage, but I look forward to their blog post about it.

Most crime is likely related to being poor, but this case shows someone who chronically chooses crime, even when they had a job. How do you "fix" that? There are people who will work hard to avoid being good. There are people who enjoy being bad, who enjoy hurting others, who enjoy screwing over others. How do you fix that? I'd contend that the best thing to do is remove those people from society. The American system is broken, but these kind of people can't be rehabilitated. You could "fix" them as much as you could "fix" someone's sexuality.

By the same token, comparing overall taxation isn't a 1:1 match either when comparing against places where some of those are either a tax on employers or a directly purchased service.
The new technologies behind ads are really terrible, but I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with a full-page Rolex ad in the WSJ. Dude in a fancy suit wearing a watch that looks great, and a quick description - that's a very simple, easy to understand model. If I like that watch, I can save up for it. Rolex doesn't know I saw it and doesn't care.

New technologies behind ads, tracking users wherever they go and hounding them relentlessly and using their personal communications to harvest more data - that's the scourge. I'm fine with ads, but I block them on every website because I'm not fine with tracking.
I think it's debatable, after generations of experience, that prisons make people more criminal.

I've heard over and over again, in the words of criminals themselves (on podcasts, in new stories), that they got into the career part of being a criminal while behind bars.
>That's a rather naive view apparently based on a consumer-level underestimation of the complexities of asset management and funding on a big movie/show. //

The situation is that the studio could do work on the footage to make it releasable, then sell the processed footage for profit.

The argument is that the processing of the footage makes it too expensive to do this, the studio might make a loss.

So, all the IPR, releases and such need to be in order for it to be possible to release the processed footage.

It's possible there is contractual obligation preventing release of rushes and other unfinalised footage, but it seems highly unlikely. I'd imagine the studio have rights to publish anything, thus enabling "making of" and "blooper reel" type videos.

So, if it's possible to arrange the IPR for the processed footage, then it's close to certainty that there's no IPR limitation on releasing the unprocessed footage.

Meaning finances are the only remaining issue.

Sure, the studio may not want to spend the money up front to arrange release of the footage; but that is likely to be primarily to avoid fan works based on the footage from competing with their own outputs.

>You can't just hand out the original unedited film stock to anyone who asks for it. //

You could hand it to an archive for digitisation and give them rights to sell it at cost. Or, burn it. Or leave it in a canister to degrade until it's unusable.

>How about the scores for the music? Or the audio mix files? Or the EDL? Or the various revisions of the scripts? Props? Set carpentry - if there's any left? Wiring? //

Well, IPR aside, why not. If you're paying to keep the set in storage, why not give it away and save your storage costs and get on with making new sets that are going to be used?

Primarily however, we the demos should be taking the question of what to do with unneeded IPR away from the studios. Make copyright terms shorter to match patent terms.

I actually thought this was always going to happen, I just didn't know which bank would do it first, and I'm surprised it is a bigger bank.

Think about what a bank account is. You give up your money for a voucher and the bank keeps a ledger of all transactions. Turning it into a token that you can exchange for dollars really isn't that much of a stretch.

They now have a 'currency' of sorts where they get to use all the deposits for fractional reserve banking, keeping only 10% available at any one time. Money out into this token is basically free money to lend out, just as bank deposits are. The difference here is that the liquidity is higher, since they don't need to use it through the traditional banking system.

I would expect it to have some traction with business and internationally.
Your comment is wrong in so many ways. React, Cassandra, OoenCompute, PyTorch, GraphQL: where did these come from? Facebook.

You wouldn't want them to be improvising while on the assembly line. You want their feedback, just not while they're supposed to be making pins.

If they're in a position where they need to be improvising in order to make pins correctly or efficiently, that's a bad sign.
Ironically enough, long term imprisonment is quite possibly the worst way of inflicting punishment, while simultaneously being more cruel and antithetical to rehabilitation. Whatever our goals, there are surely better ways of achieving them.

To "break a process down to components" is what the division of labour is, and the division of labour is nothing else but that. Smith didn't conflate shit. Specialization is a posterior an effect of the division of labour. There's no opposite division of labour, labour is divided in the same sense in the two cases: one worker straightens the pin, another sharpens it; a machine straightens it, another sharpens it.

"Labour" does not just mean what a labourer does, it can mean what is to be done, "a labour", such as the labour of making a pin. If you had attempted instead to infer what Smith meant through the example, you'd not have written any of that.
Thank you for the reference. The insurance companies — die Krankenkassen — are indeed state controlled and there are careful and very specific regulations regarding their funding and expenditures. Everyone is obliged to be in one and they are all expected to provide certain basic services.

That’s not the same thing as being state owned. Everyone has to be in one but there isn’t only one. Some are connected to regions and some to major industrial consortiums, like Audi.

It’s a small distinction, perhaps — but falsity proves anything. If it’s not state owned, it’s not, and we might as well not obscure debate about the US healthcare system with untruth.
I like GnuCash and wrote about it at: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/using-gnucash-as-a-freelancer...

But I wrote my own Bash script to calculate invoice amounts. I run 1 command per month and it spits out the number of hours I worked for each client and then shows how much I should invoice them for.
Maybe teams could use tools like AI Gigapixel (discussed on here yesterday) to upsample older textures?

My only critique of this is that clinicians in the US may be under large organizational umbrellas and may be strongly encouraged (forced?) to go through apps chosen by the org, and so they aren't really making any conscious choices.

(TBF the paper authors are affiliated with Sydney, Toronto, and California Universities so those healthcare systems are likely different)

That's how consumer law works nearly everywhere: every party has full (civil) liability over the outcome. The parties can then sue each other to settle it, without involvement of the consumer.
Amusingly the 737 is about as close to that philosophy as you'll be likely to fly on these days. It doesn't require a yaw damper as (to Boeing's own surprise) it is positively stable in yaw. It's flight controls are directly connected to the elevators and there is a big manual trim wheel in the middle of the cockpit.

> They mean rehabilitation as the goal of modern American incarcetation has failed.

It has not failed, because it is not, and has never been, in any meaningful sense, the goal of any of the American criminal justice systems.

Specifically, none of them have been in any substantive way been designed around any evidence of what does or does not work in terms of rehabilitation.

The US criminal justice systems focus on retribution and demonstration of moral outrage, not rehabilitation.

I agree with your point, and there is likely a business case, society wide, to average health care costs across the population. People are less productive when they have major, long-term worries, and even folks who are young and healthy today think about the possibility of being very sick.

And in a society where sickness implies economic misery, people plan by building their own, ad-hoc mini-safety nets which are often less valuable and more expensive than a standardized solution. So most people would support averaging health costs if they perceive it as mostly efficient. That is, they would not mind a sick person next door getting treatment while paying the same cost as themselves. But if they think a bunch of doctors and crooks milking the system by making up and billing for fake services they will strongly push back. My 2c.

Supporting annecdata: I’ve seen some C++ where entire classes were copy-pasted (including `//TODO: deduplicate method` comments), because the author didn’t want to use inheritance. And when they insisted their code was fully optimised, it turned out to be doing an unnecessary O(n^2) operation.
Why would anyone go looking for substantive debate by making a statement and letting anyone on earth reply? You wouldn't let most of these people into your home; why would you expect an arbitrary one of them to be a good conversation partner on an important controversial topic.

I find this perfectly valid and think we should get rid of private health insurance at all. It's undermining our system, pretty much like pension for state workers and alike. We really need to unify this system, imho.

Great. don't worry about interrupt bugs. My course is introductory, and will not touch such advanced material.

> When you say "linkable library" are you looking for a .jar with a clear api?

Yes, a .jar with a clear API would be ideal. Maybe a method with a signature like so:

run :: String -> RISC_V_State

Here the input string is the RISC-V assembly. The type RISC_V_State
can be given in various ways. Minimally I need something along the
lines of:

- Error or successful-completion

- Content of registers (in fact content of one register should be
fine as long as that register can be used as an accumulator).

Clearly all this is available internally already, so it'd just be a
matter of creating a suitable API.
I am aware of the global state issue. I would be happy to launch a new
JVM for each test, although that is very slow (10000 tests * 200
students = 2,000,000 JVM starts). If there was a suitable "reset"
method in the exposed API that would be even better.

“I don’t even think about me being ripped off,” Julien told BuzzFeed News. “All I think about is them damaging the app’s reputation. It can cost money to [a user] and drain his battery.

Let me see, at the first little college I attended, a stupid Liberal Arts school in Upstate NY, there were probably 150 Art majors and about 8-10 Computer Science majors at a school of about 1200. I ended up leaving that place because I couldn't stand it there. This was just before the tech boom in the early '90s. Also, you couldn't toss a pebble and not hit a Music major. Thus, I always figured the low pay was because they were fields saturated with talent. It's not that I don't appreciate the arts--I do. My daughter is fabulous musician. I push my kids towards art and music because they are backbone of our culture. But there are the realities of making a living in this stupid country, are there not?

It took me probably ten years to become a truly competent software engineer and it has been a constant (often frustratingly so) process of remaking my skill set over the past 20 years. I don't care how great people think writing code for a living is, I think these corporate jobs are soulless, you have to deal with pigs and complete narcissistic assholes, and you pretty much give up all your creativity as a side effect. My alternative seems to be working at Target as a cashier, though.

Canada is very light on it's criminals. Child Molesters, Rapists and even murderers tend to spend little time behind bars with little consequence for their actions.

Here is another article about how broken Canadian Law is.

Just recently a young boy was beaten to death by a repeat offender in Winnipeg. The animal broke into the boys home and beat him to death while the child tried to protect his Grandmother. The media won't even tell you the animals name or anything about him. I will be surprised if he gets any jail time.

I wouldn't be proud of Canada's punishment of criminals.

I don't see any other way of interpreting your claim that 'the way to get the most value out of flawed people is to find the best version of their argument and then argue with that.'

You give your argument, they give theirs. Then you amend their argument for them, and argue against that, ignoring your interlocutor.

If you are not interested in accurately understanding the person you're talking to, and instead impose what you take to be the strongest interpretation of their argument on them, then you are for all intents and purposes arguing not against them, but yourself.
