Off topic, but if you’re going to justify body text, at least turn on hyphenation.
This all depends which syntactic conventions you're used to.

"a + b" is more readable than "a.+(b)", and so that's what scala allows. I think it's a neat way of allowing operator overloading.

"iterable.foreach { ... }" is also readable for a callback.

FWIW, the one which doesn't compile is (apparently) "seq.foreach(x: Int => println(x))".

> Why bother linking the concepts to gender? Well, it looks like the main reason is that it offends people, and some people seem to find that worthwhile in and of itself.

You´re missing the point. No one is (or at least I am not) saying that he is merely making a "factual observation" and that´s just that. But you are ASSUMING what his motives are as if you´re some type of mind reader. And of course his motives must be malicious such as "it looks like the main reason is that it offends people, and some people seem to find that worthwhile in and of itself.".

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.
You will probably hate this but if you really are of an open mind you should watch this and then we can continue our discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50FbeazFkgs

Assuming you actually watched the video above, what I _see_ when I read a post like yours is exactly what Peterson describes in the video. A deep and complex need for "protecting those who are offended from the evil serpent (the offending party - Peterson)". You have already classified him as malicious thing to be dealt with accordingly.

> Read the originators of Peterson’s ideas. They certainly thought their statements about gender, archetypes, psychology, etc had deep meaning and informed how things ‘should be’, not merely how they are (of course, simply saying ‘this is how things are’ and nothing else can be an expression of deep conservatism, which is how many interpret Peterson - this is how things are AND YOU CAN’T CHANGE THEM, so just act in accordance with them).

I´ve read my fair share. And I agree with you. Some things are not set in stone. But a lot of things are - at least for now. So pretending that we´re all like play-dooh is an equally false assumption as the one of the conservatives who believes that all is set in stone.
If I got a job offer and they insisted on using Eclipse, I would most likely turn it down. Once you are used to Intellij, there's no going back. I even paid for a private license that I use for my own projects.

I sometimes open VS Code for small for small non-project related files, but I am much more productive with an IDE.

One thing that many get wrong in the VIM vs IDE comparisons are the benefits of keyboard shortcuts. They assume that VIM has a significant advantage, but you can have that with IDEs too.

The JetBrains products have keyboard shortcuts for almost anything, so you do not have to use a mouse unless you want to. I'm sure the same could be said about other IDEs as well. Many forget that when they compare against VIM.
Thankyou this is a better summary than I’d have written while on my phone.

> You are the boogeyman to the people who oppose legalisation. One of the rare people who didn't smoke simply to obey the law and are now getting stoned because it's legal. :P

As a pre- and post-legalization smoker, I always thought this was a naive view. Having to deal with a sketchy flaky street dealer (not to mention finding one to begin with) is absolutely going to turn a lot of people off of smoking. And speaking from experience, waiting on an empty street corner for 20-30 minutes for your dealer to show up (because he's always late) gives you a lot of time to introspect and question your choices...

It is really nothing like walking into a clean retail store with regular business hours, display cases, and pretty young cashiers. The street dealer situation makes you feel like a lowlife piece of shit who has a lot of growing up to do; the legal retail situation makes you feel like a yuppie walking into an Apple Store. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this new option led to 2 or 3 times as many people smoking. And to me, that's completely fine (really, good for me since it makes it more socially acceptable).

I think the smokers who believed that legalization didn't offer a more appealing purchasing option for a ton of people must be the 24/7 stoners who only have other 24/7 stoners as friends and can't imagine not having immediate access to weed.

Out of curiosity, is that a common label? The site isn’t great on mobile, so I’m unsure if that’s in the integration or just an example you gave.
True, but that's what the whitelist is for. Browsers are so complex these days that visiting a website you've never heard of before may as well be you running a random executable. Will your browsers security hold up if the website is hostile? Probably, in the same way the security features of your OS and/or anti-malware software will probably keep you safe from a random malicious executable.
Natural evolution. Because it follows vastly different rules. I still fail to see any example given for how one “cascade failure” takes down all the routers in an infrastructure like Cloudflare’s. I can think of a dozen ways a non-homogeneous system can fail (like incompatible updates and config, confusions between the types of components, etc.). In the end you usually end up with massive expenditure that introduces just as many problems as it solves.

You may be onto something that nobody else spotted but so far the arguments are too generic (“failure”) or incompatible with the premise (rules of natural evolution applied to very artificial systems).

Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to learn something new and understand a different point of view but so far the arguments don’t help me.
TLDR: no.

GPS spoofing can be done as a replay attack; record the signal at the airport, rebroadcast at the Kremlin louder than the direct satellite signal and voilà, your receiver says you’re at the airport.

As it’s just a replay attack of the original signal, encryption can’t help.

We are not at odds. My point is since 1992 we have era of rapid globalization and many economies adapted (usually at the expense of ordinary folk ie. economy is doing great and people not so much). Debt, currency etc. is just technicality.

>Do cars even come without 'smart' options nowadays?

This will be much harder to find on new cars in the US. As our May 2018, all new cars are required to have backup cameras (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup_camera#Mandates). Now that a screen is required, it's harder to financially justify putting in a head unit that includes physical dials. Instead we're stuck with crap like "find the button for volume on the screen, then tap it 15 times to adequately adjust it". I'm hanging on to my 2011 Honda Civic for the foreseeable future, and pray the UI won't suck on newer vehicles or find a basic trim 2016-2018 that doesn't do everything on the screen.

I appreciate the safety aspect, but hate the UI of every car I've interacted with.

Any recommendations for cars whose UI doesn't suck?
It's super weird how everybody considered Trump odd for his hate for China, yet these days so many people just repeat the, usually completely baseless, anti-China FUD.

Whether it's Huawei supposedly spying on everybody or the Chinese government putting implants on Super Micro boards, nothing is too absurd to be spread by, out of all parties, Five eyes themselves.

Does China hack? Of course, so does the US, it even steals IP from allies. But I seriously doubt the damages for that go into the $57 billion, that's just a piracy-damages like inflated number. In reality, a whole lot of interesting innovation, particularly on the hardware level, has already been happening in China for years already. They gonna out-make the US maker movement, on a massive scale [0].

I’m a Marxist on this and I’m saying that a “big enough quantitative change equals a qualitative one”, meaning that in the first example if you stretch that cup long enough in order to almost change it into a plate then the cup is actually not a cup anymore (because of the quantitative “long enough”) and trying to answer the question “does a cup have a hole?” by presenting as a counter-example a “long enough” stretched out cup (which is not a cup anymore) serves no purpose. The second example with the straw which can be seen at the limit as a doughnut is similar. Granted, I’m not a topologist, just an admirer of Hume and of his fascination for mathematical induction and of people’s blind faith in it (stretching a cup until it’s no longer a cup can be seen as similar to some mathematical induction operations).

There isn't a lot of a difference to me: the obvious has been stated by nearly everyone.

There are people that don't know how to change the default slogan on a WP site after all.

But don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that nobody should write about that, I'm offering my perspective on why I probably wouldn't.
I have used Spacemacs for a while (ex vi/vim user). It is a good gateway drug, but it is also buggy and slow.

This is a simple example, but usually you have command line arguments, the output can be large, and you might have input to process. As soon as you have that, you arrive at a more complex API, but one where you don't shoot yourself in the foot so easily (e.g. with special characters in file names and friends).
The problem in the usage is that most native speakers use 'data' not as a plural, but instead to identify the continuous stream that is comprised of datum, and therefore as an uncountable.

A hash table is a well-known term that covers multiple algorithms, but I never seen one that worked the way you describe. False positive lookups is a property of bloom filter-like struct, not of a hash table. Using false positives to remove duplicates would be wrong indeed.

Ed: I missed “It's only definition is key/value pair” part. No, that’s called key-value list or table. Hash table uses hashes of keys to partition itself into quick lookup segments - that’s the point.

There’s regulation applying to YT or FB and then there’s regulation for everyone. So the fact that ads now support a certain model and in theory you could start promoting terrorism doesn’t mean the general laws don’t apply.

So the hypothetical pro-terrorism or pro child abuse article would go up because it’s not censored, it would catch traction because it enjoys the support of some, it would then be taken down because the laws prohibit such speech in general, and finally the original poster suffers the consequences of breaking the law.

Censorship is done before the fact. Like banning a song before launch because it’s insulting the supreme leader. Doing it after the fact because it violates a law (TBH I presume there’s a law prohibiting the promotion of pedophilia or terrorism...) is not censorship.

> What would be my incentive for fixing something if I earn no money from it?

Your incentive would be that your product is better and sells more, unless and until everyone copies it. As long as the extra profit exceeds the cost invested, it's worth it.

You're claiming there would be no innovation at all unless there's IP.

How did we innovate for hundreds or thousands of years before IP laws, whether the wheel, ironmaking or any other technology?

To flip your question on its head, if IP laws prevent your innovation from reaching everyone, the benefit to society from this innovation is reduced, and that's bad.

Look, you can really protect your intellectual property in Europe and in USA, but you cannot do that in the rest of the world. It means your innovations will be copied and much cheaper products will be created. You can protect your own internal national market, but you cannot compete on all the remaining world markets. So what to do? End of intellectual property? Back to trade secrets? Even this will probably not help in long term.

I guess what I'm hoping for is something akin to Hubble's photo of Pluto. A blurry blob with patches of color.

In the animated image at the top right of the page you linked, those planets are between 14 and 69 AU from their star. Let's pick the one at about 5 o'clock, it's the second most distant at about 25AU, or ~2.5 billion miles from the little yellow star.

Wikipedia says its ~1.3 times the radius of Jupiter, so let's round up to get even numbers and say it's 125,000 miles in diameter. That means the actual scale size of that planet is 1/20,000th the distance between those two dots in the image, meaning that blurry dot is about 2,000 times as large as the planet itself. We have a long way to go.

Here is the difference: You can inherit a million dollars from your dad and buy a Lamborghini. But it is more impressive if you start from nothing and buy your own Kia.

Similarly, when you say a "column you wrote" without mentioning the crucial bit: on whose platform? - without any context, it is actually very hard to say if it was a big deal. Also, can you do it consistently? (I suppose the author thinks he can). Can you follow a process and help others do the same (which presumably is what the author has tried to do)? It is the difference between winning the lottery and making a million dollars, versus building a business system and making an impressive 6 figure profit. Clearly, there is nothing to learn from the former. And usually there is something to learn from the latter.

Whether or not you think his credentials are impressive is one thing. But the data you are using to back up the criticism isn't making a lot of sense TBH.
Lol ok then we can agree to disagree. Even the YT video I just linked to opens with an intro containintlf a simulation, which once again, has subtle but pretty obvious and appreciable differences.

Also, my complaint was in fact that I didnt know why Veritasium was confident in their prediction. This complaint is for a matter of fact completely consistent with one of the lead researchers outright saying they didn't know what to expect. I never said I was exclusively complaining about there being simulated models which have some differences. You and others criticized me after I said he should have substantiated why he was confident in his prediction. I gave what I believed was my the foremost reasoning for saying that.

I had little idea what the picture would look like...

I have no idea why you're so intent in disagreeing with me. I'm substantiating my ideas with facts. And saying 'just bbelieve me' I think is also bad form.

At this point I feek like your disagreement has to do with psychological or social biases unless you are able to address the factual content of my comment.

But the one thing you said that was interesting was about the blobbiness. I think what you are trying to saya is that it is fully expected by the researchers to be error. Do you have a good interview or other source on this?
