> There is 1 proper general-purpose language in there

That will depend on what the GP has done with SQL. Also, JQuery implies in Javascript. There are up to 3 general-purpose languages in there, one of which nearly any developer will know.

There should be plenty of people capable of taking the codebase, but it's not a trivial single language case. The upside is that good developers will be overrepresented when compared to the population that knows one of Python or Javascript.
Everything you're saying is true, but for some reason companies still think they need to test you on hackerrank/leetcode like problems. I would much prefer to do some code in the frameworks I claim to know.
When you are that well-known, it's even more useful to have someone specialized in managing that brand. By your argument, Coca-Cola should fire their marketing department because they don't need it anymore.
I got the opposite idea from my landlord, he said something like “prices are too high right now so no one is buying”.

There are zero barriers to entry here. If this becomes anything past ramen profitable it will have a ton of competitors all with equally professional websites and enough of those competitors will attempt to use lower pricing as a means of capturing market share to guarantee rapid downward pricing.
Isn't his "crime" releasing documents that Manning stole?

I asked the exact same question to my then boss many many years ago on why Chinese software engineers are paid far less than American engineers. His answer was almost identical to yours above and we all know what happened in the last 10 years.
> For a person to become a police officer they will take on much more risk to their families and property.

And why is that? Why are LEO disliked or having to live in fear? Shouldn't a society support the members of itself who willingly take on a role to protect said society?

Perhaps it's that the populous is increasingly seeing the police apparatus as the enforcement arm of a shadowy, unaccountable bureaucracy in bed with corporations and the elite, and not a force for the protection of the public.

So again, who's who and what they do in the government should be publicly accessible.
Reporting on leaked documents is one thing. Helping your source crack passwords on government computers is another.

I think you're trying to say that telling white lies is deception, but not malicious... however, in this case it is not the scientist nor the picture, but they claim nature that is malicious in showing us what we expect to see (or what the writers think we expect to see).

"The temptation is to interpret the EHT image as a straightforward telescopic view of the hot accretion disk, seen from above, with the black hole carving out a hole in the middle. But it isn’t quite that."

So that's not what I expected to see, nor what I think I saw, but then I'm probably not part of the typical public. I do realize that it's a radio image not in the visible spectrum... so maybe that's deceptive too, like thermal imaging. But it's still click bait.
This isn't "online" culture, it is simply culture. There has always been a horrible group of folks in culture: What we find acceptable changes over time.
The image is deceiving, in the way that it is causing you to think something is true that isn't. Of course any 2d image is a black hole is deceptive by nature, no matter what you do.

The problem is that when the deception is caused by a person instead of an object it is malicious. "The picture is deceptive" is neutral, but "scientists created a deceptive image" sounds very malicious. And while the headline states the former, it's not a big leap to assume the latter.
Not quite, but they have to justify the choice to use a service that costs more.
Well, it's not a problem, but if you ever want to "fix" it, just take some problem so solve by writing Smalltalk in Prolog.
"At this point HN is no different than 4chan." -gim

When people spout utter nonsense like this, I fear there's no reasoning with them.
I was going to post the same thing but I fumbled in finding the right word, incongruent of course. In general the media will protest when they perceive a threat to freedom of press which is both self interested and highly useful.

Riiight, so it is about ethics in journalism.
And yet these discussions, as Matt brings up, generally only occur when there are women involved.

No one's been giving her sole credit for this project, they've been highlighting her as part of the team. She admits that it was a team effort, her team admits it was a team effort and wants people to stop downplaying her accomplishments. Yet the discussion on sites like HN keeps veering into a narrative in which she is being overly credited or attempting to downplay everything she did.
I would not just trust the courts on this one. We should all care and protest where we can.

Assange has relied on many people in the past, so there is not much evidence for your claim other than personal sentiment.

What seems more credible is that only he has the keys to some data kept by other persons and he could release these keys via others like e.g. his lawyers. Arresting others who might help him with releasing the data once they have the key makes "sense" from that perspective, although it could be illegal (but IANAL in Ecuador).
Totally agreed.

I'd go as far as saying AHK is one of the few tools on Windows that I really miss when on a Linux system. It's that good and I don't even know it too well, I just hack things together as needed. Bash is great and all but AHK does so many useful GUI things.

Thanks for the link on bug.n. I use i3 on my Linux laptop and for day to day usage I do prefer a tiled window manager of some sort. My Windows box is my main workstation so having some type of proper tiled wm would be really nice. Currently I use dexpot (virtual workspaces), AHK (global hotkeys), keypirinha (fuzzy find app launcher) and the built in Win 10 window split shortcuts to get as close as I can to an i3 set up.
The CI is setup now, so it's easier for everyone:

PeriodicSync is not part of any specification according to MDN.

Without periodicSync is this a realistic scenario?

I have a 2015 Impreza and find the built in UI cumbersome and annoying. It has a few bugs where it can get stuck on a specific menu and it also doesn’t update the song that’s playing via Bluetooth from Spotify etc.

I feel like there are a ton of nice improvements to be had from the 2015 version if they could be figured out:
1. Better Spotify integration with album cover display, playlist scroll
2. Mirror google maps to the display
3. Show any push notifications that come in via your phone
4. Display engine diagnostic info when check engine light is on
5. Display a nice background image when not in use

These are just a few features I’d personally love to see, not sure if any are at all feasible.
So it appears that the author of this piece and the authors of the nearly identical Intercept piece [0] are skeptical of the "conspiracy to hack" charges brought against Assange. From what I understand, the action conspired towards was gaining access to an account on a government network that neither Assange nor Manning had access to ordinarily, with the goal of better covering Mannong's tracks (the other account had just as much file access rights as Manning).

I understand the claim that this was an effort by Assange to protect his information source, but should it really not be considered Bad to login to someone else's account on a government network and spoof your actions with their name attached? Is it so unreasonable to believe that that's somehow too far?

Rents aren’t increasing that rapidly compared to real estate prices. There is a lot of slack supply as far as rentals go, to the extreme that many speculators don’t even bother renovating their properties for the rental market.
I’ll clarify. I’d like to only have a max of 150 people there a few weeks a year - mostly beach glamping for a festival.

> The tough part for me to communicate here is how _ironic_ your assumption here is. You are _literally_ doing what Peterson argues is the feminine and chaotic. You are playing the role of the overprotective mother.

I don't know if irony is the right word for it, but I find it interesting that you've been arguing that Petersons man-order/woman-chaos is somehow not normative and negative to women, and then go and use 'feminine and chaotic' in a pretty much purely negative way.

What I find more interesting is that this exemplifies what bothers me about Peterson schtick. So much of what he says isn't actually saying all that much, because it's couched in "one could argue that", "I'm just observing x", "an interesting thought" style statements, while at the same time the very choice of statements seem to imply something nonetheless.

The frustrating thing is that I find much of this 'implied' message rather concerning, but it's difficult to talk about because he (and his fans) can deny all of it. Or accuse me of reading too much into his words, vilifying him, etc.

I think this comment expresses my unease with Peterson quite well (the whole thread/discussion is worth reading): https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/8m21kw/i_am_dr_jordan...

And then there's the famouns Contrapoints video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LqZdkkBDas

To be clear, I'm not accusing you personally, of all this, just that your comment reminded me of these thoughts. Furthermore, I ultimately do not know the details of what Peterson believes (I mean, who does?), and if his book and talks help people improve themselves I'm all for that.

> The talent who actually produce the product are in the dark.

So you think the 'talent' is able to be 'talent' without the sales and management? Do you know how many people (in entertainment) are where they are not solely because of talent but because of sales and marketing? Ditto for software. You think that the google guys (Larry & Serge) would be able to make it on their own strictly on their own 'talent'? All that matters is Wozniak, Jobs the 'con-nive-er' didn't matter?

And I am not saying this in a 'well without the Janitor we wouldn't..' type of way either. Sales, marketing and management is a very important part of the process.

> seem to carve out a larger slice for themselves, often in increasingly clever ways

Yet you don't think that the same cleverness leads to sales at the company and/or other benefits?
She and the team she belongs to have been reasonable. I'm talking about what the media is reporting, since they are exploiting this story just for clicks.

These discussions are the result of the media trying to push a feminist narrative. They chose a female member of the team, and they knew where they were going with it. People can see through it, and are rightly upset.

Harassing her personally is, obviously, not the way to go, though. I'm sure the media doesn't care about her at all, or they are even happy that she's getting harassed, because they now have more stories to run.
I heard it can be hard to see our center black hole because we are on the Galaxy disk so we have to look through a lot of light pollution and dust things to see it?
It's not deceptive as much as it is dumbed-down and devalued as a tool for increasing scientific literacy and curiosity - at the very least the image should have included a distance and radiation energy scales - preferably several at different distances from the event horizon to account for GR.
As it was released the xkcd comic of it provides more value than the image itself.
Yes? What else would it be when people are tired of the media acting unethically?
Not sure why that would be the most important, but yeah a bike has been my main mode, daily, year-round, for 27 years except for a few-month period in 1994 and again in 1998 and 2001. That includes commuting, regular grocery shopping, 2 years of Costco runs (trailer), and 5 years of transporting 120 lbs of music gear to gigs (trailer again). Haven't owned a car exclusively since 1987 and haven't owned a share of one since 1998. On the day you asked that, I walked instead though, because the destination was close enough and I was in the mood.

Edit: I also drove a cab for a couple of years, if you want to count that (but I biked to the garage).
As far as I can tell, despite having been fairly high profile in the past (she gave a TED talk), Bouman is not talking to the media now at all and only made the one Facebook post. The only thing that happened was the publication of the photograph.

You assume too much.

I take the world how it is; including human behavior. On the other hand, you assume someone owes you a training and a then immediately a wage that is the same as someone's who came with all the skills needed.
The article doesn't really seem to address why, if there is demand for what the author wants (which is quite reasonable), the market (or even a monopolist train company) doesn't provide it.
The article goes to great length to show that the supposed crimes (except for the one password, maybe) are things that journalists do. It's even more shady because his co-conspirator, and the one who was charged with and convicted of the crimes that are unambiguously illegal, has been pardoned.

edit: I don't really care about the difference between pardon an commuted sentence because they both are a get out of jail free card.
One of the definitions but not the only one.

It’s quite common - in the UK at least - to say things like “It’s deceptively cold outside.” When the weather is cooler than it looks. Clearly we are not saying “The weather is not intentionally deceiving us.” Because that would imply sentience in something that isn’t. The same logic applies with this title as well.
You have described the political landscape in Spain to a T.

So you're saying the reason why people are making fake profiles, spreading fake rumors etc is because of the media narrative?

I find it useful to have a handle on which subjects are currently triggering outbursts. Makes it easier to spot when some other discussion might be heading (or, sometimes, being steered...) in the direction of derailment, I think, if I feel like I have an idea of the current themes.
Yea, there is one difference between here and 4chan. 4Chan is less likely to curb your freedom of speech. Sad that a site now owned by the Japanese promotes American Constitutional Freedoms more than an actual American-owned site.

Well that's unfortunate. I lived in Germany in the '80s, and traveled by train all over the continent. Especially in Germany, France and northern countries there was no place I wanted to go that couldn't be conveniently reached by train, trolley, and bus; I don't think I often had to walk more than a mile or wait more than half an hour. And it didn't cost much either; the dollar was really strong at the time but I got six weeks of unlimited travel for a few hundred bucks.
So, what I get from that is that they made sure it won't be a problem for anybody rich.

I would be angry if my citie's government imposed a restriction with such a list of exceptions.
I don't blame anyone, just filter out the too selfish ones early. If they can't go for win-win of both sides, they can try their moves elsewhere.

This is an interesting article, but I think it could be summarized fairly succinctly: trains are amazing for intercity travel in the 100-300mi range, and beyond that they’re not really competitive against air travel.

TLDR; The author basically explains that the old system of good regional (euro national) networks which happened to connect together was almost as fast as the high speed trains but much cheaper and more convenient. When high speed lines are added these international regional lines are typically shut down. Since the high speed trains are expensive this means that the new network basically only serves medium/short distance business travel, where the old network was affordable for anyone to take basically any distance.
Another interesting thing to watch in the electric airplane space is Harbor Air and magniX.

The float plane business seems to make a lot of sense in this regard because, at least in the Washington state and BC areas, it involves a lot of small planes and relatively short flights that aren't easily replaced by other modes of transportation, especially for people who essentially use them for commuting and can't live the same lifestyle using a ferry boat instead.

I don't have enough knowledge to know if the technical aspects make sense from an aviation perspective but nothing stands out as unfeasible.
The paper has an interesting perspective but much of it felt wierd. I looked in my old Basic Circuits textbook and the phrase fundamental circuit element isn’t used at all.

From an EE perspective, the usual basic groupings are passive and active, and linear and non-linear, because that directly relates to how to mathematically solve circuits including the components. They ignore diodes in the paper because they do not cleanly fit any of their categories. Also the frequency domain behavior/description of each component is perhaps more important.

There isn’t an infinite supply of those graduates. In fact, China is in for a serious demographic crunch over the next few years. Those kids are mostly from the cities anyways, rural education still has a long way to go (never met anyone at work in Beijing with a rural hukou, but maybe they just wouldn’t talk about that).
Presumably there are some reasons for the higher cost, or someone else would come along and sell the radios for much less and take over the market. I expect in aviation higher reliability requirements would add something to the average costs for many things.

People (me included) complain about the same thing when it comes to 'marine' parts - they're often 2 - 3 times higher in price than land-based parts (usually automotive or RV parts). There are actual differences in the items in many cases though - for example, marine engine parts have to ensure they never throw any spark, because explosive fumes in an enclosed engine compartment are a real safety concern that well ventilated automotive engines don't have. That takes extra R & D and different manufacturing processes for much smaller production runs (increasing pro-rated capital costs).

Plus, market forces seem to show that people are willing to pay the higher prices - perhaps that's in part because most of the people buying these things have more money than people buying commodity (automotive etc) parts.
This is why we have a justice system. He has the right of due process and a grand jury still has to decide if we should pursue the case.

This reminds me of something Rich Hickey said about becoming a better developer:

“A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness.”
Perhaps a hole should be defined by other objects. For example, think of a closed rope (loop) that passes through the straw. You can't remove the loop and the straw from eachother. But, if you imagine the rope to be so thin that it can pass between the atoms of the straw, then you could do it (mathematically speaking, not physically). So the straw has one hole w.r.t. the normal rope, but zero holes w.r.t. the very thin rope.
