IIRC, the choice was between Java 5's version of erasure or drastically modifying the JVM, with the likely result that the new Java would be incompatible with the old Java. (Like C# has done.) This was considered unacceptable at the time. (Unlike C#.)
It could be per-language, i.e. use family-given when speaking Japanese or given-family when speaking English. That's more what I'm getting at.

This would also (I'd propose) hold true for non-Japanese names; if family-given is conventional when speaking Japanese, and my English name is John Johnson, it'd only be fair for my Japanese name to be ordered as Johnson John.
That seems a reasonable approximation from my perspective as a layman. A couple of things (that I am sadly lacking sources for right now) that might suggest this interpretation include:

- there is a meaningful (albeit small) correlation between IQ and reaction times

- people with higher IQs show lower brain activation when performing cognitive tasks compared to people with lower IQs. That is, their brain has to do less work to perform the same task.
Also, conditions outside of the plane should matter. The Tupolev you listed was typically poorly maintained and flown to places like Irkutsk or Arkhangelsk, taking off from and landing onto short or poorly maintained runways, often in winter, with technology available in the sixties to the Soviets. The fact that more deaths happened sooner on a modern aircraft built with state-of-the-art technology, flown primarily by its largest users on routes like Dallas to Miami, should be somewhat alarming.

Trump was inaugurated on January 20, 2017. The 737 MAX was type certified by the FAA on March 8, 2017. That seems like rather a stretch to blame the 737 MAX certification on Trump's election.
I think the argument to remove public mention of historical figures is weird. I think UVA students trying to get a statue of the founder of the university removed because he was a slave owner is weird. I don't really care one way or the other who's on my money, but the need to replace the historical figures we do portray with ones that are considered politically correct in "current year" seems weird to me.
Is it something to do with British English tending to treat companies, teams, etc as plurals rather than singulars

Yes. Far more information than is perhaps healthy on this topic: http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/001874.h...
> Even children born to high-IQ parents are slipping down the IQ ladder.

It is expected that the children of high IQ parents have lower IQs than their parents (and that children of low IQ parents have higher IQs than their parents). That is just regression to the mean. How are they separating this from that effect?

Not exactly... From what I've heard, as long as you're staying in Germany (i.e. it is your primary residence) and you work there, they believe you should pay taxes there. The 183 days rule is more for cases when you have two comparable residences at the time (and you travel back and forth between them).

Of course, people try their luck and contract using their non-German companies, but I've read on some forum that at least one guy was prosecuted (as in criminal charges, not to mention the taxes owed + fines) by Germans for that.

A thing some people I know do is to fly into Germany every week for 3 or 4 days, stay in a hotel/airbnb, and then come back to home country (BTW, talk about carbon footprint of the tax laws...). This way, you have no residence in Germany at all, and also you're there for less than 183 days per year, so they really have no claim to your taxes. Of course, this "bedouin" lifestyle is not for the weak, and the company needs to be open to it (the partially remote work aspect) as well.

Eh, is there any evidence that being smart and being 'nice' are necessarily correlated? Seems like there are quite a lot of intelligent people who do morally questionable things or threaten humanity.

Becoming a corrupt government official and lining your own pockets at the expense of the rest of the population isn't necessarily a dumb thing, nor is working in an oil company or developing weapons for the military. Every dictatorship through history has had scientists and academics working for them on all kinds of horrific things.

That's not saying intelligence can't help fix problems or that being dumb is good. But being selfish or evil or sociopathic doesn't seem to have a lot to do with your intelligence, and the issues often come down to selfishness, greed or a lack of morals more than anything else.
Yes, because saying that every rapidly developing country does IP theft as a way to speed up development, including the U.S., is exactly comparable.

So much the better. You know the more I think about this, social media might be largely responsible both for the alienation that I mentioned, and for exaggerating the seeming proximity and urgency of every crisis (not just the big ones we should care about, but also the little ones that probably have no real effect on us other than as spectators).

Both of those (social isolation and a steady stream of bad news imbued with a desperate urgency and importance) would tend to discourage and depress normal human beings!

I love football. But why again is Gotze relevant to Hacker News ?
You're asking for an impossible condition. People are adaptable. They can train digit span (https://science.sciencemag.org/content/208/4448/1181), eyesight (https://www.nature.com/articles/srep00278), absolute pitch (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/030573561246394...)... really, virtually anything you care to name. The moment you identify something testable, you identify something trainable.

They're not infinitely adaptable, though. The further you go from whatever baseline you're working with, the harder it will be to make significant progress. What's more, people with higher base scores will tend to progress faster. These repeat effects also tend to fade over time (https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED076675). Finally and most importantly, virtually all types of skill training are extraordinarily domain-specific. In the digit span example above, the individual who trained up to a digit span of 79 was tested on chains of alphabetic characters instead and went right back down to the standard 7 +/- 2.

What does all this mean for IQ tests? Well, the goal is to identify broad baselines, not specific trained skills. The best ones will test a broad range of specific cognitive skills (like the Stanford-Binet) or a specific g-loaded skill that an individual hasn't practiced (like Raven's Progressive Matrices). It's fine for them to assume knowledge if they are directed towards specific cultures (for example, English vocabulary is fair game in an IQ test aimed at teen/adult native English speakers), but tests like Raven's should be used for broader contexts. If someone really needs an accurate idea, comparing several tests is worthwhile: A determined individual can practice some specific skills on one test, but those skills won't transfer.

IQ isn't perfect, but it's a useful proxy for intelligence that correlates meaningfully with quite a bit. Specific IQ tests can be trained for in limited ways, but such training only reflects narrow skills and so can easily be avoided by testing a variety of skills in thoughtful ways.

China is opening up, at a slow pace admittedly.

> I don't buy this idea that the programming language you use determines the quality of your work. There is no evidence to support this.

Then I have a thought experiment. If language cannot determine the quality of your work, I would request that you write pong in brainfuck, and I will write pong in, let's say, javascript. Then we'll compare the quality of each implementation, and switch languages. Whoever wins in terms of quality in the first round would be expected to be the better developer, and so would win the second round handily.

Now that we've established that the quality of your work does in fact depend on the tools used to implement it, can we please reframe your original point in less absolute terms? Perhaps the programming language is not as important as people claim, and that given two projects in two languages of similar quality, the output should also be of similar quality?

How do we define similar quality? Is incremental improvement a worthwhile goal? Do different tasks require different features? I would much rather write a shader in HLSL than in BASIC.

My guess would be that we are too rushed, munching way too much information that scatter our brains, too prone to use shortcuts to get ahead (can't afford being deep), too busy to let ourselves sink into the very much needed meditative state, paradoxically too result-oriented to have time for quality, too fast-paced to let ourselves relax, get bored, and sleep enough. We are too reactive, too shallow, too busy, too stressed. We are constantly in an overexcited, coffee-pumped state following the patterns required to grind the results that meet the deadlines. And that's the opposite of a happy, alert, fresh, calm, sensitive state of being, in my opinion, that leads to good IQ results.

I am aware of ITP. There is no ad-tech without targeting. There are >50 million ad opportunities out there at any second, you need to target to delivery the message to a proper recipient. Attribution is a bottom of the chain problem, often problematic due to fraud.
This will never work. Just a few things off the top of my head:

- tracked link must not be in an iframe, which is how basically all ads are served

- only 64 campaign_ids. what about tracking individual ads? i need to optimize which ads perform the best, what targeting is converting, and more

- delayed conversion POST, 7 day window. What if a user makes purchase and then doesn't open safari again during the 7 day window? since POST is delayed wont arrive. also what about 30d windows?

- what about view conversions? and other non-last click attribution?

- when combined with ITP, how do they propose updating audience/targeting? I often see complains of people seeing retarget ads for products they already purchased.

Show HN: Toast – A tool for running tasks in containers
Elm requires the use of the Elm architecture. PS does not.

PureScript can work server-side. Elm is pretty much browser only.

PS has a richer type system. Elm's type system is extremely limited and makes it much harder to model domains because you can't do it generically and often need to write lots of boilerplate.

PS has a higher level of abstraction and expressiveness.

Elm's niche is frontend developers wanting to learn more about FP and get a gentle introduction to the Haskell like syntax.

Elm definitely has the better ecosystem and tooling. It's much easier to learn as well.

But as you learn more about FP and some of the higher level abstractions like monads you will find Elm very limiting.
