Repurposed Drug Could Offer Hope After Many Alzheimer’s Trial Failures
This is my opinion on what's happening.

New programmers want to learn. However, they want to learn using the path of least resistance (who wouldn't?). SO is universally known by everyone as the place where experts gather.

So why do newbies choose to ask questions on SO? Ultimately because they see it as the path of least resistance to accomplishing their goal of [learning, homework, etc.]:

- Why read a book on C++ when you just need to know how to do that one specific thing and an expert could give you a targeted response?

- Why wrestle for hours with compiler messages when an expert can solve it in 2 seconds?

- Talking to your teacher or professor is scary, vulnerable, and the very thought might make you anxious. Much more comfortable to ask an internet stranger!

- Homework is due tomorrow, it's too late to ask the teacher for help! Time to ask SO, there's no time for anything else.

- My programming school/teacher/course is complete garbage. Or I'm attempting to self-learn without formal courses. Time to lean on SO as a crutch to help me through.

However, this is a problem because it creates a power dynamic. Professionals want to help and get help from other professionals. Throw newbies in the mix and they are essentially a parasite - they want help from professionals and can't give anything back (yet).

Honestly, I think one solution is to put asking questions behind a paywall or rep wall. People can still read everything for free, but to ask a question you need to either pony up or be a contributing member of the community. This would make a lot of newbies reconsider asking a question on SO because it's like: "Hmm, I guess I could ask SO as a last resort, but maybe... I could put in a few more hours of effort or ask my teacher, which are free" This in turn would significantly reduce low effort newbie burden on the community and encourage the newbies to visit the sources of knowledge they ought to be going to in the first place.

This is all based on my own anecdotal observations, but I never asked a question on SO until I was a working professional. I used SO all the time in school, but read only - I leaned on my high school teacher and college TAs mainly when I needed help.

Why the downvote?

1. It is a one trick pony. I can't fly fast, can't carry big payload, can't dog fight and takes a shit-load of maintenance. The only advantage is that it may or may not be "invisible" to opponents. I am sure it outclasses any third world countries like Iran, Iraq, whatever. But against China or Russia this is a big if. And if not (invisible) then you are screwed big time. You bought a ton of trade-offs for one advantage that disappeared.

Take this as an example:

2. The price of the two planes (Eurofighter vs. F35) is basically the same. Fact. So the price of the F35 is not really an issue.

Consumers tend to just click past permission prompts, hence granting malware permission to everything. Power users can take care of themselves, of course, but most consumers don't have the technical knowledge to safely deal with this kind of permission prompt.

>My mother (who found it amusing I was going to be coding Ada in 2008) gave me her old Ada books from the 80s (her employer at the time sent her to an actual course to learn the new DoD mandated language, back in the days when employers invested in their people), which I still have.

The fact that most employees don't invest in their people today, is egregious.

The fact that an employer like Boeing lets their developers "just pick it up on their own" doubly so.

And probably explains some of their quality issues.
I just... I miss the old Hacker news... This isn't reddit...
I often make this comment when the subject comes up but I'm one of those that tried to pay back the help I got over usenet on SO and did to an extent (top 2%). I also quit when people began to care more about correctness than helping and made my contributions much less valuable ("you cannot post, this question has been deleted").

It feels to me like an issue of framing. There's definitely a way to achieve this but I think you have to segregate "the library" (where you get truth) from the "playground" (where you seek help) as the cultures of the sort of people that prefer either place clash horribly. I'm a playground person, for reference. I like to try to understand what problems people are facing as opposed to what they might be asking.

lucene used to have a geohash backed way of doing location search. They since switched to quadtrees that are binary encoded and added adding custom encoders to lucene for supporting this in recent versions.

I actually implemented search using simple geohashes indexed as terms back in the day. It works but this is way better.

Facebook should have known better from the start and never enabled that kind of targeting for those types of ads.

If only Facebook has some money it wasn't using, it could hire a bunch of lawyers to look at its products and processes to make sure they are legal and ethical and lawful. Some kind of a team of lawyers. They could even made it a department of some sort.

There is a fundamental problem with StackOverflow and I don't know they (a new CEO) can fix it.

Many "new users" of the service view (or want to view) SO as a "question and answer" site similar to ask.com or Quora. I don't think this is unreasonable at all as even Google will suggest that SO is one of the most popular question and answer sites on the web.

This flies in the face of the desire of SO leadership, many of its moderators and, the "old guard" to have the site be a curated programming resource akin to Wikipedia. This is also not unreasonable.

The rub comes with SO desire to invite questions to be answered rather than soliciting tutorials or documentation akin to how Wikipedia works. SO even had a failed attempt at exactly this (SO Documentation) a year or two ago.

In essence, they (SO) want the benefits of both models while not recognizing the irreconcilable conflict. New users find the community hostile and belittling, seasoned users find questions condescendingly trivial and repetitive.

I look forward to seeing what their new CEO's vision is. Cultural change is hard though.

Just to be clear, code running on a remote server is not code running in the client. Just because the server attests to the client doesn’t mean the client is running that code. You still have to do all of the threat modeling for the attested code differently from the threat modeling for the client.

I’m not yet prepared to publicly get into all of the nuances of SGX, but I think it’s worth noting that there’s something very interesting happening there. I look forward to being able to discuss my team’s technical findings on the subject in public.

To summarize why this is so interesting: the attack surface is the whole system. Enclaves let us extend parts of our trust model to systems we don’t own. That is a real change and, if it works, it’s going to change how systems are designed at a deep level. The problem is that there aren’t very many working implementations of sgx in the Wild (signal is the only one I know of).

We’ll see where the wind blows.
Big fan of the C# language, but honestly until .NET Core a lot of us simply had to ignore it. I think MS was counting on it for selling Windows as a platform at a time and I'm sure that worked to a degree but it probably didn't do the long term trajectory of .NET any favors.

Luckily so far even with some missteps the .NET Core launch has been great. My only complaint is that debugging needs to work outside of Microsoft editors. Jetbrains has their own implementation, but I find it annoying that there is no CLI tool, and I also recall a licensing snafu that broke debugging in Rider for a while...
If Rust didn't have good runtime performance, it wouldn't be worth looking at over SML, Ocaml, or Haskell.

> So let's get back to the performance of the code generated by the Rust compiler, shall we?

"Shall we" just stick our heads in the sand too? No, you don't fix problems by ignoring them or pretending they aren't a problem. Slow compilation speed is a problem if you care about developer productivity and quality of life.

Well, they're free to litigate that question if they think it will help them. That's the beauty of our legal system.

If, by w3w you mean gps-capable device. Like a phone. Which can give you those digits. And if connected to the internet to query w3w's database, can send your precise location.

There's also the old country directions method - navigate by Landmarks. If your emergency services operator is familiar with the geography of their area, this becomes much easier. If you are similarly familiar, this can be very quick.

Geohash is easily the best system currently out there.

Worse might be a little harsh, but my system:

•Packs slightly more bits into the string (naturally there's a tradeoff with data fidelity) for shorter strings

•Follows a completely logical alphanumeric distribution (Geohash will skip letters, some for good reason, like o and l, and some for not-so-much, like a)

•Some of the other benefits in the original post are also missing.

You could probably do this with other systems, but the goal is to allow everyday people to be able to pack a short string in a tweet and have everybody else know exactly where they mean.

No. The people who wrote the law (and handed it over to the elected politician) knows quite a lot about it. The politicians who put their face on it are mostly ignorant, if not idiots.

Politicians don't generally come home in the evening and sit down to write their own bills. They rely on "experts" to do it for them. The more we rely on a central regulatory apparatus, the more essential this is. And this is where we run into problem like this, as well as regulatory capture. But the fact remains that they've got to rely on somebody with expertise, yet where can you find such people, and how much can you trust them when they're not publicly responsible (or even known).
Above all, the weird thing about W3W has always been that if you have the device to do the lookup, you have the device to exchange and store long and not particularly memorable strings of numbers...

Thought experiment: Company gets served with a TCN. They task Jolene (Snr Programmer) to implement the backdoor. She does so in a way that spews information far and wide in a highly visible manner. What are the consequences for Jolene and/or the company, especially when the spooks cry foul and Jolene's lawyer/Company replies with something along the lines of "I guess she's just incompetent and did a bad job. Sorry. But we did comply with your TCN."

It had processing constraints and it probably lacked some too like c interop. But largely it has the same target as rust right? Back when rust first got started was there someone on the team that knew Ada well in order to take lessons learned. It seems kind of crazy if there wasn't. It would be like Tesla not having anyone from a traditional car company involved in initial design.

Part of me thinks that they should just archive SO as it is now (making it accessible and read-only from a specific secondary location) and just reset stackoverflow.com. I know a lot of programming problems are timeless, but many are not. Seems like hitting reset every few years could be useful.

I'm not sure I understand this. I can go into FL Studio right now, add the two chords to the piano roll and set the notes to slide and it works.

Are you implying that composers/producers don't do the slide because of how annoying it is to input via MIDI controller?

I would not recommend the upper berths. You have just a bed behind a curtain. For the trip with my dad I got us each a single sleeper cabin. I think it was $1,500 each, and having your own little room to go to was great to have.

The trip was for my dads 70th birthday, and a long promised gift (He took me to Italy, Croatia and Bosnia where we almost got killed and the deal was I’d take him on a trip) so it was worth spending a little extra for the comfort.
The sticking point is that those advertisements are made to the public and everyone has relatively the same equal access to them. Targeted advertisements through social media completely remove any semblance of equal access.
I don’t get it, so the H1B system should grant 50/50 male female regardless of the input mix as a way to force gender equality into tech.

What a convoluted idea to come up with to specifically call out the H1B.

If you’re going to demand government do something, why not just get right to the point and say “the government must hire one female tech employee for every male tech employee” if that’s what you really want to achieve.

Of course (asides from other objections that might be raised) that immediately runs into the obvious problem that we just don’t have that many women going into tech.

If we want more women in tech, we need to get them interested and somehow keep them interested through high school and university. And if we can’t then we need to stop expecting 50/50 make up. Sucks, because I think we’d benefit from more women in tech, but it’s impossible to force it like this and make it successful.

They probably will.

But in this instance it’s much more appropriate the end FBs illegal business practices, rather than continuing to go after ad creators in perpetuity.

ADL defines alt right and white supremacy to be the same: https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounders/alt-right-a-prim...

SPLC also say they are the same: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/ideo...

The opinions of SPLC and ADL is especially relevant because mainstream media and social media companies such as Facebook seem to have relationships with them as well as similar orgs to define actions against people.

So no, we are taking about the same poorly defined term because these orgs is an authority to Facebook.

The reason it’s bullshit is that these orgs doesn’t relate it to truth and evidence, use their power to slap this label onto anyone that disagree with them and punish people for things they didn’t do.

It's not just a bit better, it's miles away the best. Likewise for Wikipedia, which is unparalleled at its job and also has lots of negative culture. I'd challenge you to find a community-generated and community-run site that is a tenth as big/successful as either of those but is substantially more welcoming.

In other words: the problem is probably not with anything particular to StackOverflow or Wikipedia, the problem is with human beings. That's not to claim that a new website with new rules/structure couldn't arise that was even bigger yet more welcoming -- there's no reason to think the insights that drove StackOverflow are optimal -- but just that it will require further innovations in how communities are structured.

Sustained rate of fire isn't as important as you've implied. First off, you'll either burn out your barrel, or run out of ammo. Two, most fire missions in high intensity combat will be shoot and scoot, where each system fires 2-3 rounds then moves to a secondary fire position to avoid counterbattery fires. In low intensity combat situations where relocation isn't a requirement (Iraq/Afghan), firing rate is completely unimportant.

And you're also ignoring ATACMS. HIMARS is nice for the Marines, but ATACMS is great for high intensity warfare.

And the SU-25? Junk. It wouldn't survive 30 minutes against anyone with a decent AD (though neither would the A-10). Everyone underestimates how lethal modern combat will be against any and all aircraft.

Not OOTB, but I would imagine that any geocoding system could include a suffix, like "(1987)", to know which dataset to use, so as long as there was a server providing accurate geocoding for a particular point in time.

This is a service-related question, though, not a method-related question. There's no math equation that'll tell you your house is there when it used to be here.
