It normalized an easy-to-digest parody of nerd culture, perhaps. Nothing honked me off more than people watching BBT and thinking they understood "people like me".
No, it's not, unless you're somehow going to wipe out all the leadership of the FAA and start all over. That obviously isn't going to happen any time soon, and "we're sorry" isn't going to cut it when the FAA is obviously more interested in Boeing's corporate profits than passenger safety, so they simply cannot be trusted again any time soon.
Fortunately it's usually incredibly obvious in the first day or two when this happens. You have to cut your losses early in those cases. Before I banned all India based firms I would sometimes hire 3 of them for a small project and then hire the one that actually performed well for whatever bigger project I actually wanted done. But sadly for them it's now easier to just not hire there at all.
Why would IQ be explained by wealth inequality? I thought the literature was pretty conclusive - there's a benefit to rising above poverty but beyond that wealth doesn't buy much IQ. Poverty rates are falling, I'm not sure we would expect a person whose nutritional needs are met to be more or less smart because someone else is fabulously wealthy.

> I wonder if long ago our ancestors learned a lesson about this that they codified in religion, but forgot the "why" part and now we are just going to repeat history.

That, combined with the desire but not the means to explain things they didn't understand, is religion in a nutshell.
C# has a set of design constraints that can be annoying, but they make the language consistent and extremely resilient. It isn't up to the whimsies of the designers either, Anders and company went one way with C# and a completely different way with TypeScript (given its need to fit in with Javascript).

They can be annoying, I guess, but once you are used to it you don't really notice they are missing. It is annoying if you have to switch languages often, I'm pretty sure I would need a few weeks to get re-acclimated if I had to go back to C# from using TypeScript for so long.
This looks pretty neat. Thought about something sort of like this awhile back but never built it out, glad to see someone’s giving a try! Good luck!
I disagree, all advertising levies a cost on the advertisee, you are assuming an inherent right to attention that the person has not granted. I understand and agree that this is a graduated scale but the most benign on that scale is "only a minor annoyance" not "perfectly benign".
Of course, the inherent flip side of making the adverts less obvious is making the content even less obvious still. They've slowly A/B tested their way into using what are basically dark patterns that will be tricking users into clicking stuff they didn't mean to. This won't go well.
It's certainly true of embalmed bodies. Hopefully we wouldn't be composting those though.
Hopefully! I've always wanted to go to Launch Base, but haven't had the opportunity yet.
IQ rates? I think journalist writing quotient rates are dropping, too.
The corruption problems at the FAA predate Trump, it's true, but his election is just the latest thing showing just how bad things are.
Without knowing who the audience is, its not very responsible to recommend people do certain kinds of training for "fixing" physiological issues. If you have access to medical services, please make sure to get an evaluation done before trying anything on your own. An acquaintance who had shoulder problems and read comments on a random forum (not unlike what people seem to be doing here) about using stand up presses to strengthen shoulders. Turns out he had some scapular issues and had to get surgery done to fix it. Luckily, the presses didn't make it worse, but they could have. Yes, if you're an healthy adult, you might be just fine, but you never know who ends up reading your post.
Intelligence has been strongly linked with physical fitness, specifically cardiovascular fitness. Is it any surprise as humans have become less active that our intelligence has suffered as well?

Aerobic composting done right largely sterilizes the compost pile. It kills most harmful bacteria (and in the case of garden compost, weed seeds) because the pile heats to a really high temperature (140F+).
"Also, ad-targeting is often a realtime problem."

Surely Google are caching a queue of adds for each user and similarly for "random unknown user"? Why would this have to be real time?
Agreed, but even then, I'd argue that particular parody of nerd culture has already long since been normalized. Maybe all BBT did was broaden it a little bit, but a parody it remained.
It is actually a good thing. The more forks there are and more complicated ideas and toys, the more mess and chaos. It can eventually kill the whole ecosystem.

I love open-source and libre software but there needs to be some central authority who oversees the changes and is forward-thinking. I actually love Go in the way it is and it wouldn't be it if you kept asking community what features to integrate. I am looking forward to generics as it solves some cases (containers holding items of a templated type sharing some common methods). But even if Go stayed the way it is, I would be fine. The point of open and libre in this project for me is that Google can't shut it down and that's enough for me in the case of prog language.

Please, if you want to make super-crazy-new community-driven uber-language which will change the world, make yet another and truly yours language or join Rust or whatever more community-driven language you like. Thank you! :)

While I understand the merit of the energy efficiency implications mentioned in the article, I actually disagree with this method on grounds of the potential spread/development of infectious disease.

The vast majority of cultures have rites for taking care of the dead in a tidy manner. This is partly out of respect and partly for cleanliness purposes. Corpses that aren’t embalmed or cremated are hotbeds for disease. Having them naturally degrade seems like a great way for new human-specific evolutions in disease to grow and spread.
sjburt nailed it - and "she" ;)
fear is really bad for the mind. same with suppressing individuality for 'the team' and its 'approved' viewpoints. learning the right things to say, fearing thought police, etc, to the detriment of unique expression and problem-solving.
Oh no... Don't tell me you are also on this train...

Seriously, you want your noodle vending machines to run a web server on an MCUs? I can't wait to see how eval escape will look on a vending machine.

Cool experiment. Really shows how poorly conceived/verbose Auto Layout is. The first thing I do in any iOS project is add some sort of wrapper around all that constraint nonsense.
I'd like to try Lisp for a personal web project I'm working on. What's the Lisp equivalent of a LAMP stack? What is the recommended process for an Ubuntu server?
Not really, because in your lisp example, there is proper scoping. Variables will always be unbound in the reverse order they were bound.

You can do something like this in c:

#define x 3
#define y 4

#undef x

// more stuff
#undef y

Which is essentially equivalent to [(])
Agreed - and the pronunciation is the same as ESA!

This seems more like a novelty than a good idea. No thanks.
Except now the mother has a record with CPS which they refuse to expunge.
I mean, yeah, beastskills is legit for all the reasons you mention.

But it seems like it should be possible to give a shout out to beast skills without needing to disparage CC - they’re clearly working together and share the same core principles on weight training.

I can’t speak to effectiveness of towel method yet as I’ve just started it. But I did start out by adding a weight belt to pull-ups and that didn’t seem to work well after a while. I saw results when switching to the CC method, slowly working through the steps. Perhaps different methods work for different people.
How do push-ups and pull-ups apply to survival situations?

Just do it. The level of entry is quite low, and depending on what you chose to do, it doesn't really have to cost anything but time. The only downside I've noticed is that other people won't understand why the hell you're doing it, and they'll look at you like you're an idiot when you explain you haven't watched movie X or TV show Y.
It's a cultural thing. These countries have a very different set of ethics that's really hard for westerners to get their head around. Basically, the one who got scammed was stupid for allowing it to happen and the scammer is smart for pulling one over on them.

It leads to an extremely inefficient and low trust business environment. In many cases the idea of a win-win is almost non-existent because if the other side wins too then it means you didn't squeeze them hard enough in negotiations.

Most of South America operates like this also, in fact I find Ukraine to be far more oriented towards western ethical ideals than India or any country I've done business with in South America. Much of Eastern Asia also operates on this level.
i think that's a big part of it, yeah, and then add on outrage emotion of all that stuff.
It would depend upon the utilization of on-call and what the scope was - like if you're responsible for any critical bug in the app, or just keeping the site alive. And how often things were broken...

I'm more or less on-call all the time for the systems side of things, but I build boring systems, so I almost never get paged.

Soccer would be a much better sport if it didn't have such restrictive substitution rules. Freer substitution would open up a new dimension to the game and give coaches and data analysts more room to strategize both during the game and when hiring players.
That's a bit naive I think. First it wouldn't be very effective, banks are banks, that is their expertise, just because there's a reward doesn't turn bankers into policeman that will detect and act on money laundering. Then, who shall pay for the reward. The government, the central bank? Tax reductions? How valuable is a cash reward for one of the big banks anyway.

Then on top of that politics come into play, with all these increasing trade embargoes and bi-lateral agreements, many transactions could be interpreted either as laundering or legit, depending on interests.
I think it wouldn't be so unreasonable to assume someone in the US government IC has Huawei's IP already.
This will just converge to some kind of lisp and then pragmatically end up as XML and then be thrown away when it is realised it is a poor imitation html.
Yeah, care to share what shows you enjoy watching? I have two girls as well.

(speculation) Is it about countries that changed to poor maybe? I've seen echos of this in post-war Poland as well, but the issue seemed to largely go away with time.

It's always amusing to me that people who pride themselves on emotional intelligence and inclusiveness will ask things like: "is your (nerd) friend we're going to dinner with more Sheldon or Leonard?".

If you press them on this, you then get some flavor of "ok but you know what I mean..."
This isn't quite right, since there are many poor or poorer countries where this isn't the case. However it does seem more common in poor developing countries so I don't doubt it's a contributing factor.
What we need is a new paradigm for making money on the Internet. Advertisements are psychological tricks users are forced to experience, designed to make that person think they need to spend their money on something they didn't need before they saw the ad.

It's infected our news media, with ads masquerading as real news articles and news providers dripping with desperation to keep you frightened of the BREAKING IMPORTANT NEWS you MUST KNOW ABOUT right after this attempt to sell you razor blades.

It's infected our social media, where avatars that bear only the slightest of photoshopped similarity to the person they claim to be pretend to live a high-life, hiding their broke reality while trying to sell you herbal detox teas produced by failing corporations.

It's infected our telephone system, spammers trying to sell you a new rate on your student loan debt calling you 100 times more often than your own mother.

It's infected our email system, where no client without robust spam filtering is even usable, and you will delete 100 times more emails you never wanted to get than you will receive from your best friend.

Text messages. The postal system. Light polluting billboards on highways. You name it, if advertising has gotten its claws in it, it has either ruined or is ruining it.

Selling ads and selling users' PII are the two primary methods by which a website makes money. Both need to die.

> There is no ad-tech without targeting.

I don't think people care that Amazon (for example) suggests things to them based on previous purchases because they have a first party relationship with Amazon. Likewise, when I search for "honda" I'm okay with Google showing related ads to the right of my search results. Targeting isn't bad.

The concern is when user data is shared with third parties.

Great question - the prop systems are designed to inevitably operate in vacuum, so we ground test at atmosphere first to verify the hardware performance and then test the system in a vacuum chamber to simulate space.

[edit]: Both options of thruster choice make sense for different missions so it starts with customer conversations usually. We'll work with a customer to understand their mission requirements and then design a system to match. Some of the things feeding into the trade would be the mass of the spacecraft, how fast the customer needs to get to orbit, the footprint we can take up externally, and any preferences for redundancy. I'll also look to see if I can build a system with existing thrusters vs. designing a new one. (For example, if the customer wants 48N of thrust, I would suggest using 2 x 22N thrusters and getting close to the goal instead of designing a custom engine)

Hopefully journals like this will have a huge benefit at helping meta-analysis. As the article describes, mere chance can produce p < 0.5 with enough studies. Without the null hypothesis studies being published/included, meta-analysis can suffer from huge sampling bias and draw horrible conclusions because they treat the outlier as the norm.
This. The first season at least dabbled in a more honest take. Season >=2 went with whatever was palatable and popular enough to get more viewers.
The Java language is purely functional.

“Java programmers” really program not in Java, but in a purely functional language called 'cat'. As with any purely functional language, cat consists only of expressions, not statements. Now here’s the clever part: when evaluated (not executed), a cat expression yields a (pure) value of type Java, which is an ADT (abstract data type) that represents imperative programs. That value of type Java is then executed (not evaluated) by the cat language’s RTS (run-time system). As a clever optimization, cat’s RTS actually includes a code generator, considerably improving performance over more naïve implementations of the Java abstract data type.
It would then become American football where offense and defense get swapped out as soon as there's a possession change. No thank you. I like soccer just the way it is now.
>, higher stakes version of the roulette wheel at a casino

As an example, Mark Cuban used put&call options to lower the stakes of the roulette wheel.[0]

He sold his startup to Yahoo for ~$1.4 billion of stock (1999 stock price was ~$95) -- but he couldn't sell it immediately because it was locked up for 3 years. That's a long time for Yahoo stock to potentially double... or go all the way down to $0.

To protect his wealth and get around the lockup, he bought put options to limit his downside. He also sold a matching set of call options to offset the out-of-pocket costs of buying the expensive puts. Therefore, deliberately limiting his upside was the proverbial "price to pay" to protect his downside. His financial engineering reduced the vagaries of the volatile stock roulette wheel.

It turned out that not getting too greedy with a potential gains and worrying more about the potential losses was a smart move because as we now know, the 2000 Dot Com Crash happened and the 2002 Yahoo stock price plunged to just $8: https://www.theatlas.com/charts/B1RjK9Q_

This is the only non-bad consequence of type erasure I'm aware of. On the other hand, a lot of code I've written in C# would be impossible or severely hacky without type retention, like "new T()", "T is Thing", finding all classes that are derived from T, etc.
Part of the issue may be brain drain. Really smart hard working ethical developers often leave India.
Yes, there's a big difference between riding the zeitgeist and actually influencing it.

There is something oddly nice about an older person saying "Oh, just like Sheldon!" (or sometimes Moss from the IT Crowd) if I mention dungeons and dragons or online games.

It might be a very simplified and / or exploitative version of nerd culture but at least there's an instant point of reference for us both.

I agree, but a complete solution is often out of reach.

Also, many bosses aren't crazed gunmen, but they're still uncareful about how they communicate and wield their power. By being careful as a worker, you can reduce the accidental harm these bosses do.
