Yes, I expect it was very interesting indeed - I mean, who programmed these women and how did they even do that? And what did programming the women have to do with chaos theory, was chaos theory part of that process?! That sounds like some weird offshoot of MK Ultra.

Or did they mean "two female programmers", because that sounds like a much less interesting story.

edit: in case downvoters didn't get it, "woman" is a noun and when you use a noun in place of an adjective it can be written after the following noun and "of"; "defense department" and "department of defense" are basically the same meaning in English. Computer programmer is a programmer of computers. If you still don't get it, consider how strange "two men programmers" would sound.
Natural Herbs have cured so many sickness and diseases that drugs and injection cant cure. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. i read people's testimonies online on how they were cured of Herpes,Stroke,Hiv,Fibromyalgia, Diabetics,Cancer etc by Dr. Ameola herbal medicine, so i decided to contact the doctor because i know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with Herpes for the past 8 years but Dr. Ameola cured me with his herbs and i referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from Hiv and they were cured too. I know is hard to believe, but am a living testimony. There is no harm trying herbs. He is also a spell caster, he cast spells to restore broken marriages and a good luck spells to prosper and excel in life. You can Contact him on ( ameolaherbalhome@gmail.com ) or WhatsApp him via +14158551136
> Still, for coder-scientists in academic systems that measure success by paper citations, things haven’t changed all that much.

This is true. Someone still needs to write code for all the systems and simulations needed to do science. But you don't get much academic credits for building these things. Academic career-wise, much better to run simulations using software others have written, and write papers about that.

Then again, being a programmer gives one a good position to leave academia and get a software engineering job.
There isn't a reactionary movement that sees "women in tech" as an existential threat. The "reactionaries" you're alluding to are properly known as "liberals" or "egalitarians".
Maybe you should break up that large system into more manageable chunks (e.g. microservices, engines, ...) and integration test those individually.
It's a problem because states like Alabama were very important in the 2016 Presidential election.

The US government system wasn't designed with the idea that large swaths of the population aren't just in favor of limited government, they're largely cynical of the entire concept of government altogether.

The current state of politics in the deep south largely depends upon the continued suffering of its residents. Politicians then direct the anger generated by that suffering at the Federal Government, and look at how that played out in 2016.
Republican Congressman Saying There’s Enough Evidence to Impeach a Game-Changer?
All groups do that. Even you're doing that with your comment right here. "Everybody should do X." That's what humans do with our shared moral languages. It is inevitable.

But you probably think it's different when you're proposing a decentralization rule like this, because it is about empowering people, not oppressing people. Of course, you'll empower people who want to oppress people, but you'll have shirked any responsibility for actual consequences, so it's all ok, isn't it? You're not advocating for your country to be divided and conquered, just divided. So you won't be responsible for the inevitable conquering that occurs afterward.

You have solved the problem of personal responsibility, but social responsibility still exists, and you haven't proposed anything to manage it.
This is the first I've heard of it. It's certainly not common in a general context.

I've seen a fair few TVs with LED backlit screens, advertised as LED displays. Which what I think was meant by "deceptively labeled"
+1000

This was how I said it, buried off in the documentation of an open source project:

I'm not a fan of the way most software is developed, where features accrete on features in endless succession like barnacles attaching to the hull of a ship until there's more barnacles than ship. I think most developers don't spend enough time on quality, on refactoring, or on cleanliness, and I think they don't weigh the costs of every new feature (and every piece of old compatibility cruft) as heavily as they should. I'm also not a fan of the kind of personal rigidity where one never questions one's own past decisions and thoughts. I regularly make stupid design mistakes, and I don't want to have to live with them forever. Software projects should at least try to value simplicity and purposeful design, and try to avoid the Second System Effect.

My solution for loneliness - online DnD.

I live in a place where it's very hard to find like-minded people in real life. That plus health issues and social anxiety resulted in me being quite alone for awhile. I'm very introverted so I wasn't unhappy, but still thought that it would be nice to have a group of good buddies to hang out with.

Then I have learned that you can play DnD over discord/roll20, and my god this is so great! A lot of incredibly smart and amazing people, welcoming and friendly community, so much fun! I highly recommend it to everyone!
A few months after purchase and my MacBook Pro's keyboard has already been in for repairs and the screen glitch is too intermittent to replicate so they won't fix it. A Mac without Applecare+ is foolhardy -- these machines are engineered to fail under normal use -- so this should be considered as part of the base price IMHO. Applecare only covers 3 years so that's the lifetime of the product. That's an expensive value prop.

My colleague's Macbook keyboard broke today. Close to 400 quid to diagnose and fix (we declined, its a huge chunk of the original price). Just ofer 4 years old (which is nothing) and juuuuust out of the replacement programme Apple has for keyboards they knew were faulty.

Lifelong Apple suporter until the past few years. Avoid like the plague.

Electron is a browser. So a huge chunk of things are native: keyboard support, inputs, dropdowns, context menus, menus, preference panes, popups, window chrome etc.

And all this is available to developers out of the box. Very few "cross-platform UI toolkits" can come even close.

That said, a fully native app would be a better option, but Electron apps are ok (unless devs go out of their way to make them bad)
TLDR; The solution for loneliness is doing things with people.
You don't need much risk in the stock market. Index funds have outpaced inflation since forever.

It's easier to save for retirement since most people spend a lot of their life with fixed payment debt (mortgage, car, school, etc), and all of these become cheaper to service due to inflation.

Thus the majority of the middle class has access to and uses debt, and has access to assets that outplace inflation.

The counter to inflation is deflation, which has, due to deflationary spirals, been devastating to economies. There is not an inflationary spiral. This is why all central banks target small inflation.

Having used a Hackintosh as my desktop for the last 10 years without issue I'm inclined to attempt the same for my laptop now that my 2013 Macbook Pro is looking a bit old. At nearly half the price it's becoming a no-brainer. Are there high-end laptops with screens comparable to Apple's retina display nowadays? I'm also assuming disk and RAM can be replaced in Dells and ThinkPads but maybe I'm mistaken?
Australia is experiencing the same trend. Quillette has an interesting analysis of the trend - both sides have their own empathy deficits, but when the deficit pits the party against electorally significant populations, losses inevitably follow. This phenomenon exists regardless of whether "electoral significance" stems from direct democracy (popular votes) or republic (electoral college, region-based voting).

The problem with conferences is that they have become watered down with political agendas instead of focusing on learning and quality content.

With this person's comments, the "troublemaker" might indeed be a problematic person, but, given what I've seen, usually when a group of women target another women it has very little to do with actual harassment and more to do with differences in political ideology.
I see the use case for developers who want to test multiple versions.

But as stevekemp said, the average user is losing their profile when simply upgrading from one version to the next. And it seems that the fix to this is to go back into the Profile Manager and set you old profile as the new default. Wouldn't this inadvertently cause data loss for the average user? (Ex: My parents do not even know Profile Manager is, much less that Profiles exist)

If anything, I see this as a bad thing - especially for those who do not use FF Sync. Am I interpreting this correctly? We're talking about regular FF here, not Developer Edition, correct?

We met before starting to attend UU services, and initially I was very anti-church and refused to go. But finally I was convinced to attend a few services and found them very in line with what I wanted, so I started going more often. Eventually I even volunteered with the youth and helped run events and A/V for the services. I would say I am less lonely because my partner and I made a lot of friends there, of all ages.
> I have implemented language VMs and garbage collectors where I needed to work at the level of raw bytes and manual memory management

Fair enough, and I guess I'm forced to agree a little. However, if the one true language already existed, the VM/GC problem wouldn't have to be solved twice. Somebody had to write the first assembler in machine code, too.

I've written a (Hans Boehm style) GC of my own, and I admit that wouldn't fit with what I had in mind either, but working with raw bytes is a solvable problem in almost any level of programming language as a few library functions. All the batch or command line utilities, GUI applications, back end server modules, and most of the one-off exploratory programs could fit in a single elegant language.

> I like static types for decent-sized programs, but I also use config files and other "data languages" where that would be more frustrating than anything.

Again I agree, but (to me) this has a solution. I could be very content with a statically typed language with a single variant type for when you need to handle JSON-ish type dynamic variables or hierarchical data. I think dynamic and static typing can coexist very nicely in one language.

> Even if there was a single language that was perfect for me for all of the code I write, I don't expect that that language would be perfect for others, and I don't think those people are wrong.

I did caveat this was for single person programs and that different people would make different choices. I think my point was just that, having looked at languages from Icon to Prolog to SQL to Scheme to Ocaml to Rust to C++ and a lot of others, I think there is a point in the high-D trade space where I would be content to live and breath for almost every programming problem.

I've never gotten anyone else to agree, but I think it's an interesting exercise to fill in the details. I mean, computers are so much malleable than real world tools - you could have a single thing which handles screws, nails, rivets, and bolts effectively.
I love Thinkpads but the trackpads, screen, and build quality leave a lot to be desired. Every Mac is the same level of assembly/quality but ThinkPads vary too much from one to another.

The prices for the high-performance models are almost as high as Apple and the power bricks are actually bricks.

Why do you say that? Isn't that entirely a personal preference thing? I have preferred any good non-Apple touchpad I have tried to Apple's. (To be fair, 90% of laptops sold ship with cheap, terrible touchpads.) The touchpad on my Dell XPS is a good example; zero finger friction, physical left/right buttons at the bottom of the touchpad, and perfect sensitivity / detection of tap to click and two finger scroll. The drivers support "natural" scrolling too.

On the other hand, Apple's touchpads have to be configured to even enable tap-to-click(?!), and click-and-drag doesn't even work with it... On pretty much any non-Apple touchpad and OS combination, double-tapping on a draggable object enables dragging mode, where you can move the object around the screen with one finger.

If Apple seriously got its software story together, it would at least support better configurability for its touchpads. But even then, it wouldn't have physical buttons, which I prefer.

I'm still not following -- in court for what?

This is information that you originally put out, wrote down on Facebook, so it's not that you're hiding something you didn't want anyone to know originally. If it was libelous or something so you wanted to delete it after the fact, it's still likely possible to get it back -- even if Facebook deleted the actual message in the database, there's likely a number of methods -- server logs, db logs, cached resources, db backups, or even a simple screenshot -- that would likely be sufficient proof.

I get the impression that the communities are different. Not that Julia's is "more energetic" (there's actually quite a bit of activity around CL too), but that it's simply a different crowd. The Julia people seem to me to be coming more from the application side of things - computational scientists who want to do a certain job - while the CL people are more interested in CL as a language, without a specific application field in mind. So although neither of the communities are especially large, the Julia bunch have been more focused on good libraries for scientific computation, which is why their ecosystem is better in that respect. (Also, the "Lisp curse": scientists are more likely to choose Julia as a new language, because it looks more like the languages they already know.)

Fun fact: Alabamans are richer than most Western Europeans. But that aside, I’m proposing letting Alabamans govern Alabama and Marylanders govern Maryland. The states wouldn’t subsidize each other or have input into the laws governing each other’s internal politics. Maybe there would be a military coalition like NATO.

I went to Berkeley in the 80s. I’ve been back and it’s no where near as counter culture. It’s often the difference between hippie and hipster.

The reality is that if you live your convictions, it starts to become impossible to afford to live in the Bay Area, much like it becomes more and more impossible to remain honest and keep winning elections to higher and higher office. Such people either sell out or move out.
Why Formality-Core?
At what point did the author of the article say this was to "fix introverts"? They positioned volunteering as a way to combat loneliness which has nothing to do with being extroverted or introverted. Loneliness is a feeling, being an introvert is a personality trait. There are some introverts who struggle with loneliness and some who do not thus this article is a relevant suggestion for some and not for others.

> an 8 core processor is awesome

Yeah but there's no way this thing has the thermal or power capacity to actually run that 8-core CPU at its rated specs. This already happened with the 6-core in the previous gen, and it certainly doesn't look like Apple did anything to improve thermal capacity in this refresh. Hopefully they at least addressed the lack of VRM power delivery, but that doesn't seem likely.

So you're taking a platform that was already pushed past its thermal & power capacities, and increased the thermal & power load by another 30% (keep in mind these are all still on Intel's 14nm that hasn't really changed, so no efficiency improvements here). Maybe the reviews will be surprising, but I wouldn't bet on it.
"I’m a representative sample of my fellow software engineers"

I'm a bit puzzled about how strongly you seem to be feeling about this topic. Given your comments, you seem to be quite far from the target audience of Mathematica. It's not for software engineers. Most productive work done with Mathematica is not "building software" ...
