People who have a different worldview are probably just going to bury this, but in case it is useful information to anyone, I will write it anyway.

To make it easier for people to accept the premise, let's suppose that we are not concerned about the United States. Say we are worried about some other countries.

The issue is that when only a relatively small number of the largest media companies show up in the results, that makes it easier for state or corporate interests to control the information stream that citizens receive. If smaller, independent outlets were surfaced more often, it would mean that in order to push any particular narrative effectively, there would be that many more media outlets to control. It could make it much more difficult for a government or special interest to propagandize, since they would need to influence a very large number of independent outlets.

And again I realize that many people here may not believe that government propaganda still exists in American media. But I think that most can agree that it does happen in many other countries at least.
I think gratitude is part of mindfulness. It means appreciating the smell of fresh air, the taste of your go to breakfast beverage, the sounds of the birds chirping or the smell of your partner. These are things we can get used to day after day, and so it’s useful to take a moment or two to appreciate them. That’s at least how I interpret it...
If lay people are not equipped to evaluate such credibility, that calls into question the very underpinnings of our policy-making institution

Gee. Who would have thought that giving an equal voice to people on both sides of the bell curve would lead to any other outcome than what we're seeing?

(Answer: a lot of smart people thought that. Were they right?)
Are you serious? You have to mess with the maximum memory allocated to the GC all the time with java processes. Also the JVMs default settings basically assume it is the only process running. It will keep hogging a huge amount of memory even if the memory allocated to the GC is 60% empty unless you configure the GC properly. Wasting memory and stealing it from other processes which potentially causes swapping or crashing is far worse than any increased time spent garbage collecting. Unless you're as stupid as the Minecraft developers you will rarely suffer from GC pressure with heaps below 10GB.
I noticed this last week in my umatrix blocked domains. Its pretty terrible. Hopefully this gets reverted and doesn't signify the downfall of stack exchange because its a super important resource on the internet.
Are you talking about patent law in the United States? As I explained, the US does not use the specialized court system I described, relying on juries of laymen to assess patent cases, which has been argued by eminent people to be the primary source the dysfunctions of US patent legal system: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3270000

If you are talking about patent legal systems outside the US, you'd have to argue those systems are worse to use it as evidence against my claims. (If all patent systems are bad worldwide, this doesn't tell us much about the value of specialized courts other than that they can't solve unsolved problems.) Could you point to such an argument?

If you think that increasing the number of necessary people to bribe is an effective way to prevent bribery, then you can just increase the number of judges, which could be indexed to the amount being claimed.
There goes another useful product, victim of the court lottery. I was wondering why I was hearing all of these ads today from lawyers saying that if you're a roundup user to contact them. The gold rush is on.

We so badly need the English Rule.
> "The jury found Roundup had been defectively designed, that the company failed to warn of the herbicide’s cancer risk and that the company acted negligently. "

There's certainly reason to question the jury's determination about defective design, since that's a relatively scientific question. But that wasn't the only question before the jury.

The issue of negligence with regards to the disclosing risks to the public seems to be reasonably relevant to Monsanto's misconduct; this certainly isn't a mob lynching a corporation without regard for rule of law, and on the surface it doesn't even appear to be a particularly ridiculous stretch of the law.
There is no end to potential causes of resentment, and some may not be resolved in a lifetime. It makes sense in the context of psychological health and well-being.
I'm not sure I have a clear definition.

What I do know is that I avoid confusing tools, frameworks, languages, libraries, or really anything you could call "software" with architecture. They're all just tools that enable me to draw boundaries around contexts.

To attempt to define it, I would say architecture has far more to do with _where_ I draw bounded context lines than how or what tools I use to do so.

I saved this talk[1] in my favorites because he manages to distill ways to induce the right boundaries out of business needs. (surprisingly not an uncle bob talk!)

For a more concrete example I separate a CQRS/ES architecture philosophy from the implementation detail of a message bus in this comment I wrote further down in the thread [2].

One possibility is that, because there are a lot of people with various certifications and degrees that cannot, in fact, actually program, they are suspicious of your lack of experience. They may have been burned before by people who supposedly had training, but cannot program.

So, make a software project, that you can show. Best if it is something you can actually use somehow, like a database-backed website for your personal collection of something, or your hobby, or what-have-you. Something real, so that you encounter real-life tradeoffs and design decisions, that you can talk about when it comes up in an interview. But, not so big that you can't actually finish it in your available time.

As a side benefit, this will keep your skills from eroding with the passing of time since Dec 2018, which is also good, both in an of itself, and also to help you answer interview questions.
Yeah I lost my main container last week as well.

Containers are okay, but, I wish they had their own database for things like saved passwords and addresses. I still end up using a separate profile for work, because I don't want _anything_ from work on my personal profile. Although, if entire container profiles can disappear with an update, that could be even more of a hassle.

I mean the whole idea of "mindfulness" and "meditation" are the sort of pseudoscientific bullshit that just plain don't belong in a scientific class.

Sure, they may have some benefits, but they're essentially just placebo effect. There has to be more interesting science on the topic than that...
So I take it your view is we should not plan / discuss how to handle it? Take it on good faith that it'll be fine?

> They prevent a crooked cashier from pretending to ring something up and pocketing the cash.

How?

A receipt would only be useful for that if the customer diligently looks for an omission. I'll bet that rarely happens. What seems more likely is that the customer will notice that they were charged more than what the total on the receipt said, and will demand that the store refund the "extra charge".
I recall reading some research on the effects of gratitude. Here's an example:

https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/giving-thanks-can-...
On the contrary, this feels like a response of someone who maybe worked part time or had a summer job in a warehouse or factory, but knew they'd have opportunity for better options later on.

If the best job you can get is a factory job, and new technology comes along that can eliminate your job, you are definitely not going to be so happy that your kind corporate overlords have freed you from the drudgery of work.
I think the fundamental difference here is that football is inherently competitive while math is not. While it's true that football coaches have incentives to produce great players that will eventually play in college/professionally, the most immediate incentive is to have players that will win games. Math teachers have no similar competitive incentives. The "passion" that Urschel mentions here is probably largely a product of the desire football coaches have to win every Friday/Saturday night, and this is reflected in the way that they develop kids. Additionally, Math teachers have to both teach kids AND grade them. This limits how much a teacher can really be "on your team" because they need to retain the ability to give you a bad grade. This is true with football coaches as well, but with football there is always a bigger "bad guy" (other teams/players) so a good coach is always more aligned with and close to the players.
That's fair, but if I'm defining an API that serves, say, JSON, I can define a schema for it and tell my clients what things mean in the schema, including which things are links.
As a former architect I agree with most of this. For those not familiar, this quote is the gist:

> Making Dystopia is much more than a very detailed critique of a building or two here or there. It is an angry criticism of an entire worldview—the worldview of the type of person who much prefers his worldview to the world, and in so doing causes untold ruination.

Specifically the modernists ala Le Corbusier, Robert Moses etc. were prone to a view that everything that had come before was garbage and that we needed to tear it all down and start over.

> While claiming to be con­tinuators, the modernists also claimed to be revolutionary, wanting to rebuild the world from a blank slate. Considering what they actually achieved, this was a more accurate representation of their activities; and Le Corbusier hardly saw a city that he did not want to knock down and build again, as if no one had ever thought of anything before him.

So the book (and this review) aren't talking so much about a particular style of building (and hence the lack of photos) but rather the cultural phenomenon of the modernist movement in architecture and how remarkably well they stamped their oppressive worldview on the world.

It's a long read, but worthwhile.
Threat Model

Certain threats are currently considered outside of the scope of the OpenSSL threat model. Accordingly, we do not consider OpenSSL secure against the following classes of attacks:

same physical system side channel

CPU/hardware flaws

physical fault injection

physical observation side channels (e.g. power consumption, EM emissions, etc)

Mitigations for security issues outside of our threat scope may still be addressed, however we do not class these as OpenSSL vulnerabilities and will therefore not issue CVEs for any mitigations to address these issues.

We are working towards making the same physical system side channel attacks very hard.*

Prior to the threat model being included in this policy, CVEs were sometimes issued for these classes of attacks. The existence of a previous CVE does not override this policy going forward.

Then why call it "gratitude" instead of calling it what it is, to wit: appreciation? Obviously the proponents of gratitude meant something more than appreciation.
Definitely age specific - I listen to almost nothing I enjoyed as a teenager anymore - mostly emo and metalcore. I do find myself listening to music that I enjoyed during my formative years more often though. For me this was early 20’s. My bro science rationale is that we attach music we enjoy to our formative years.
Aren't Chinese moving faster than pretty much everyone? Last I checked, they were pretty into reducing use of coal, and deploying a lot of nuclear power plants instead.

Agree about wealth transfer to developing nations, and honestly I'd also love to see IP transfer. Developing nations have the right to the same life-saving and life-improving technologies the West enjoys, but they also have the opportunity to leap-frog and skip the high-carbon-footprint parts, the way they did with phones (skipping landlines and going straight to cellular). We should at least strongly encourage them to do that leapfrogging - though preferably by subsidizing it instead of threatening war.
> All "requests" will succeed even if malformed

A good pattern is to use a schema to verify you're sending valid data in the producer (at the very least, in a unit test, if not at runtime) - for example, the Confluent wrapped Kafka ships with a schema registry and painless Avro based Kafka producers

If overhead in the producer is stopping you from validating each record at creation time, then you can validate downstream, so long as your consumers agree to only consume the validated data.

You are incorrect. Acoustic neuroma is a benign tumor ie. non-cancerous.

Excerpt:

"Finally, we decided to look deep into the open-source projects on GitHub, checking for both duplications and re-implementations of a simple isString function in the 10,000 most popular JavaScript GitHub projects.

Amazingly, we found this function was implemented in more than 100 different ways and duplicated over 1,000 times in only 10,000 repositories. Later studies claim that over 50% of the code on GitHub is actually duplicated. We realized we were not the only ones facing this issue."

Discussion:

Intuitively, there's something really big here... What if we thought about functions as patterns with specific intents, and thought about them as existing in scope as all of the way from simple logical and bitwise functions all of the way up to whole programs...

Statistically then, some will repeat more than others, which should be more-or-less inversely proportional to size/complexity. Well, if we could identify all of those, automatically, or at least those that repeat the most, with machine learning, in theory, we could refactor a whole bunch of code bases to call the most common extracted functions in a single code repository...

Of course there would be many problems and challenges to this, that is, for say string functions, there might be many implementations of a given string function, and those specific implementations might not be 100% compatible with one another... But all of those challenges and problems aside, there's something there... future Software Engineers and would-be Software Engineers should explore this... I claim it could be a very rich and rewarding (well, intellectually! <g>) area of investigation...

It's almost impossible to determine credibility in a field that you know nothing about. Any sufficiently complicated question can be argued using facts on both sides, and a non-expert will have no idea how much weight each fact should have. For example anyone in software could argue why using the cloud for anything is a horrible idea. And remember that jurors are not allowed to do research at home, and expert witnesses cannot directly debate the topics.
Why not just intelligently respond to my questions/ comments instead of projecting your feelings (anger) onto me? Did what I write offend any of your sensibilities?

As to your question, given that you started off in this manner (projecting feelings) I doubt it arose out of any genuine curiosity. And it is curiosity that gets me talking; cheap forms of humour like sarcasm goes straight to trash bin.
Civil Juries are asked to make a probabilistic decision, not a definitive decision. The filter end up being whether it is "more likely than not, to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty" a cause of the harm.

Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. If you're into Mieville you'll probably dig it; I think Perdido Street Station in particular owes a lot to Wolfe.

It's hard to pitch the series (4 books, but currently published in two volumes) without giving anything away, and part of the pleasure of the book is piecing together information as you go.

Exactly. I don't want to be associated with the poor generalisation at the end of the comment.
“Complained to HR” is a surprisingly common claim because of its handy opacity. Which could even be pierced in a legal process so I believe it was not an issue in Damore’s case, regardless of claims to that effect I’ve heard made by plenty of people not involved. Objections to damore’s essay were, AFAICT, overt and direct which is the essence of argument.

As for the broader claim IMHO the “victimhood” narrative is currently a tool of the right (whether it’s the unfair press, or “Christianity under attack” and the like. But I know some people draw the opposite conclusion from the same data so I was trying not to address that.
I'm doing this class and I don't think there's any essential difference between gratitude and appreciation. Call it however you want, those are just names for particular practices anyhow.

If a company is willing to engage in an extended cover-up, the jury can, rightfully, draw the conclusion that the company actually believes there is a problem even if their paid "experts" claim otherwise.

This is civil court, not criminal. The standards are different.
To say mindfulness and meditation is pseudoscientific is totally absurd. There's has been a ton of proper science aimed at it, all the scientific consensus is that it has an effect far beyond placebo.

Learn Emacs. Stick with it to get comfortable. Text editing is one transferable skill that you can reuse again and reuse in different projects and on different languages.

Org-mode in Emacs. My poor man's project management for a number of projects consists of a todo-<project>.org file listing all the planned features, the pending TODO items, the DONE items for the current working release, and release notes describing features and changes for each of the released version. In one place, I have the future features, immediate todo items, current completed item, and the history of all past releases in an org file, making things simple to access and manage.

For theoretical stuff, learn about transaction.

Is there any requirement for people to be given equal punitive damages?
For compensation damages it makes sense that similar cases get similar amounts, but for punitive it might well be that the first one gets it all, and then the court can consider punishment delivered for the underlying offense.
It makes you feel better, even if unmeasurably. It belongs more with the arts rather than sciences - people will do it even if there's never any p-value that gets significant. The "is good for you" in the scientific sense aspect is not that important.

Again, just to stress it out - the scientific aspect is not much relevant. From the science department I only care about it not doing harm.
