Disclaimer: I also am not in sailing circles and also have not seen the documentary in question - I'm basing this impression entirely on the hearsay of an extensive Reddit thread (that I cannot alas find again) full of sailors who had no idea about Moxie's other life. The objections I remember were:

-incompetent sailing

-criminal behaviour (or more likely faked criminal behaviour) including theft

-making a big show about being poor and bohemian when in fact they had loads of cash (some of which was spent on the boat offscreen, rather subverting the message)

This is exactly the same kind of pseudo-rebellious sketchiness as pretending to ride your motorcycle illegally through Chernobyl, when in fact you took the official tour.

(I have just queried a sailing IRC channel and got a similar response, so I don't think I'm misremembering.)
Nobody is happy with a good compromise.

Pitch me on how you would solve those issues in the current political climate?
I really hate that I had to upvote this.
> In my own experience, having your self worth and sense of identity attached to religion is a fragile existence, especially if you are logically inclined.

I admit, this can be a problem. But it doesn't have to be that way. You can be logically inclined and attach at least part of your identity to religion. Having part my identity attached to religion gives me a sense of purpose. I know that life isn't meaningless and that God expects me to do certain things if I want to maximum happiness for myself and the people I love.

On the other side of the coin, I have a lot of atheist friends who struggle with nihilism which has often led to other equally strange decisions, despite them being "logically inclined" (like dabbling in drugs) to try to cope with their sense of purposelessness. I had one friend (brilliant programmer) who basically fried his brain using LSD trying to find purpose in life. He is a completely different person than he was before, and not in a good way. Some friends have even had prolonged periods of depression because of it.

Look down the road a bit.

This is the "social credit system" for western nations forming. I only know how this works in the US, so I'm concentrating on it.

Firms like this that succeed will be bought out and rolled in to the existing credit firms as new dimensions. (They already track much more than your credit use - google "experian data services", and substitute the other two in as well.)

It is private, so in the US there is little regulation to worry about. And the third-party doctrine means no warrants are required for LEO access.

Can you smell the freedom yet?
Just to clarify I was not implying a English degree is a bad thing. My sister is smart, she just didn't use it for anything or have any goals for it. So that is why i posed the question if it was a good choice (i had to use references i was familiar with in my post).
Elixir and Phoenix. The contexts pattern used in Phoenix is the most modular, easily microserviced way of structuring apps I’ve ever used. I slapped myself on the forehead when I first saw it. Duh. It’s really fantastic. Highly recommend
> The second part — what computers can do — is a well understood domain that can be modeled beautifully, and tasks involving it can be automated trivially

I have a chipset that I'd like modeled, and can I have some trivial drivers by next Tuesday?

Modern computers are not trivial. They are probably the most complicated devices on the planet, full of features, edge conditions and screw cases that are not obvious even to very skilled developers. I've done some very fast platform bring-ups and gotten them to ship, projects organized to be very light-weight and agile (in the non-political sense) and it's still many person-years of effort and a bunch of time on the phone with vendor support, discussing chip-level bugs (can that model please include the bugs? That would help a lot!) No talk at all about pleasant abstractions, we need to ship this pile of silicon.

Visual interfaces are for toy programs that spend resources on making pretty illusions of how the world should work. Underneath the pretty glitz are piles of slain dragons and machinery that people take for granted and apparently think can be wished away. That's fine for end-users and application level folks, assuming they can get their jobs done without resorting to breaking the abstractions (and any sufficiently large or long-lived project will). But someone has to worry about memory management, concurrency and synchronization, all the drivers for fucked-up hardware that (say) locks up when you fire data at it too fast, what happens when the file system fills up or that configuration file is mangled by an upgrade. All that nasty stuff that the "drag a blue wire from point A to point B -- see, easy!" doesn't handle, and never will.

On one project we had a clock that would, very occasionally, go backwards in time. It took a calendar year of going back-and-forth with support and ultimately a phone call with the chip architect to figure out the problem (the workaround for the bug was unpleasantly expensive). It's easy to model a clock and come up with a set of expectations. It is much, much harder to make a clock work in the real world. You would not believe how hardfought some of this stuff is, for features that are "trivial".

Visual programming is great when it works -- I've certainly done my share of it -- but we should not mistake ease-of-use in some domains for revolutionizing programming in general, or (worse) expecting the paradigm to work when things get complicated and large.
And unlike many other sites (or this Canadian program), it has a nice "say no to all" button and still takes you to the article, I see no problem with any of that.
Depends how much maths you already know. I've liked Griffiths' Introduction to Quantum Mechanics- the first chapter goes into the Schrodinger equation.
Good news, there is a lot of work on that front, including an official "rootless" distribution: https://get.docker.com/rootless

The main thing about it is cgroups are disabled and it requires userspace networking.

Your body needs fat. Also, olive oil contains plenty of antioxidants, and Vitamin K and E - so the claim that it is just empty calories is pointless.

Also, just a thought game for you: if I were to claim that your carbs are just empty calories, and my fat covers those calories too, what would your response be? Because the body can create carbs from fat and fat from carbs, so that point is kinda moot. Just pointing out the calorie content of an oil is not a negative against it. An average man need ~2000 kcal daily, and an average women needs ~1500. Just by carbs and proteins alone, that would mean 400g+ of that intake. Why?
When you sell such a sensitive product, which could be used for example by swiss account tax evasion whistle blowers, maybe you should disclose on the front page that you can be compelled to log IP addresses and advice users to plan around that.
I am wondering that too; I have a bunch of ESP32 chips that even have microSD card support, and that peak out at around 1W of power (I think). It's relatively easy to write an HTTP server for the ESP chips with Arduino or uLisp, and it's also relatively easy to get 10,000 mAh batteries; I wonder if I could get close to 99.9% uptime if I were to jury-rig something like that.
"We can have a concept of moral and good without belief in a god"

Sure, but how would that be an objective, universal, absolute standard of good and evil? You claim philosophy, and yet this is an age-old philosophical problem. For example, see Hume's guillotine, i.e. Hume's is-ought distinction.

"teaching people to be nice to each other lies in everyone's interests, a God serves no purpose here."

Is truth determined by fact and reason, or merely by the purpose it serves?
On another note, when does influence become coercion? Is it only when it results in choices that the forces of global hegemony disagree with? Too many people are convinced that decision to wear a hijab can not be an authentically free one. It's very patronising.
I worked for a company involving HIPAA compliant messaging for health systems. Everything was hosted by us from the server side and the mobile apps were in the app store -- not provisioned via MDM. We still had to have onsite "implementation managers" to train employees.
The possibility of fines, even large ones, is ultimately just considered a cost of doing business. If you really want to stop this sort of behavior we'll need a streamlined process for piercing the veil and criminally prosecuting both executives and engineers, with very serious (but fully deserved) setencing guidelines.
One problem with ProtonMail that is also relevant here is that ProtonMail does not allow to pay anonymously for the service (so that investigators are able to follow the money trail).

On the other hand (this is not supposed to be an advertisement or testimonial; I just state the fact), the German email provider Posteo that has some popularity among people who are concerned about privacy also allows anonymous payments via banknotes (cash) that is sent via mail (just put the letter into a postbox in a completely different city).
I guess I will leave it with this. You are looking at the issue from a certain perspective. The counter perspective is that targeting and attribution were severely lacking in AdWords and many other systems in the early days. The only reason that was acceptable for brands spending 1MM -> 1B dollars on advertising was that it was actively being extended and fixed (and there was a naiveté/blind faith of early adopters). We are years and years into a system that has grown over time to its current level by listening to market needs and adapting.

The days of cast a blind net that can't be attributed or optimized are well over -- those sites I asked you to consider will be very much hurt or gone if marketers can't target specific segments anymore (the blind saturation spend os not coming back).
Ruby and Python aren’t any more productive than C# or Java in my opinion. Especially when you consider the errors static typing helps you avoid.
Apple needs to allow you to change the default apps (similar to how you can change the keyboard) for this argument to hold up.

A lot of finance is built on event sourcing (without calling it that), in that you can’t just overwrite your existing DB state with new state; everything has to be a ledger with a history, and you have to be able to trace the “provenance” of your data—what version of your business rules were used to compute any derived results, both so that those results (and results derived further from them) can be recomputed when you update your logic; and so you that you can use the version of the business rules appropriate to a given dataset (e.g. the tax laws appropriate for the year a given invoice was generated) when auditing that dataset, or when migrating that dataset to a new storage format.

Basically, you want:

• a runtime that forces a functional/immutable programming style (because it’s so much harder to avoid errors in algorithms that operate on mutable data), and which has lots of persistent data structures to make this style efficient;

• concurrency for processing unrelated batches;

• workload isolation (where one batch-job workload crashing doesn’t bring down your whole job processor);

• runtime inspectability and tracing (because it’s hard/illegal to replicate production customer data in staging to get matching conditions)

• a solid library to transit data between a DBMS and native record types (a Record-Relational Mapper lib), with fluent syntax for advanced relational querying features;

• and, of course, a solid Rails-like backend MVC framework to stick on top, to give people an API and web app view into your system†.

So, a lot of these companies are choosing an Elixir+Phoenix stack 85% because of ERTS, 10% because of Ecto, and 5% because of Phoenix itself.

For the companies that realize that what they’re doing is Event Sourcing, the https://github.com/commanded/commanded CQRS/ES framework is also an exciting “feature” of the Elixir ecosystem.

† Sometimes this is considered a separate need—you can build the business event-processing system, in Elixir, as a custom e.g. gRPC API service; and then you can use whatever you want for the web-API/web-app service that fronts it. Sometimes these shops use Rails for the web layer! But just as likely they use Node (because they delegate the front-end layer—now free of business logic—to the front-end devs, and front-end devs know JS) or Elixir+Phoenix (if the same backend devs writing the event-processing system are tasked with writing the web layer.)
Right....

I mean I might want to go to a bar that's full of KKK members, because they serve nice beer. I have 2 choices go there for the beer, and perhaps inadvertently support the KKK, or the bars stance on that. Or I could not drink there. That's my choice, I'm not sure I could go to the anti KKK league rally and complain that I want to drink at that bar.
The face-saving concessions were an important sticking point.

The Japanese leaders didn't deserve them after what they'd did, and it really would have changed the entire post-war dynamic between Japan and other countries, and even more importantly, between the Japanese government and its own people.

Here's one term from the Potsdam Declaration, which the Japanese rejected: "The Japanese Government shall remove all obstacles to the revival and strengthening of democratic tendencies among the Japanese people. Freedom of speech, of religion, and of thought, as well as respect for the fundamental human rights shall be established."

It's not unreasonable to say that had the Allies not continued prosecuting the war and pushing for unconditional surrender that Japan might not have ended up with a democratic government at all. It would have been much worse if the emperor and military figures had stayed in charge, and could have easily led to more repeats of wars of Japanese imperialism.

So yeah, I think it's important to look at it holistically and see what the actual long-term outcome after the war was (which was about as ideal as was possible), vs. what would've happened had we just ended the war as quickly as possible to minimize casualties but without getting wholesale reforms in the Japanese form of government.

Very different as the pressure was from not losing even more user who suddenly would be unable to use Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, etc. They fought the proposal but once it was established they had no real way of not including DRM blobs and stay a mainstream browser.

I wouldn't care. Straight people go to gay bars. I've gone to several on a few different occasions, despite being straight.

I doubt I would want to associate with anyone who would care. I'm confident that I could find people who wouldn't even think to check such a database even in gasp Alabama or on a military base. Just because someone doesn't live in one of the five approved liberal cities doesn't mean they're automatically a bigoted jerk.
> Sadly, capnproto's awesome RPC system doesn't appear to support streaming

Sure it does. You can implement "streaming" in Cap'n Proto by introducing a callback object, and making one RPC call for each item / chunk in the stream. In Cap'n Proto, "streaming" is just a design pattern, not something that needs to be explicitly built in, because Cap'n Proto is inherently far more expressive than gRPC.

That is, you can define a type like:

interface Stream(T) {
write @0 (item :T);
end @1 (); # signal successful end of stream
}

Then you can define streaming methods like:

streamUp @0 (...params...) -> (stream :Stream(T), ...results...)
# Method with client->server stream.

streamDown @0 (...params..., stream :Stream(T)) -> (...results...)
# Method with server->client stream.

Admittedly, this technique has the problem that the application has to do its own flow control -- it has to keep multiple calls in-flight to saturate the connection, but needs to place a cap on the number of calls in order to avoid excess buffering. This is doable, but somewhat inconvenient.

So I am actually in the process of extending the implementation to make this logic built-in:

https://github.com/capnproto/capnproto/pull/825

Note that PR doesn't add anything new to the RPC protocol; it just provides helpers to tell the app how many concurrent calls to make.

Not a lawyer, but I could also see this pretty readily thrown out on discrimination grounds. "Hey, why is it that only people of color get thrown out of your bar?" Or, for the company: "Why is your banned list X% this race vs. the norm and can you prove that you are not aiding in large scale discrimination?"
Type-related issues are super common in rails apps with several contributors. Do you ever get "undefined method foo for nil:NilClass"? That's a type error.

There isn't really a universal agreement on how to handle nil in the ruby community, and as long as that remains true, type issues will continue to be a daily reality of using the language.
The robbery is the interest rate. Why should students, young people in their 20s who need to save for homes and families, why should they pay 6% interest when big banks and rich folks get low interest loans from the same federal govt? It's absolutely ass backwards and shows the govt cares for the rich, not students.
If you click on a company to see more details, you will see an "About the Technology" section that lists the programming languages, tech stack and other relevant details.

The individual job postings (also under company details) also include more detail about the technology, role definition & responsibilities and (in many cases) salary/equity range.

As a final note, companies may be hiring for more roles than posted. We made it a requirement to have at least one job made public for the /expo site.

It's really amazing how very comparable things can trigger such vastly different reactions.
I think you nailed it with the reference to a higher-than-high-level language being the next step. We went from binary programming (punch cards) to machine code to assembly to early low-level languages to high-level languages and then just kind of stopped there at the abstraction level. But do we really need to be manually coding in if statements, loops, data storage schemas, etc. over and over again when end users really don't care about any of those things? I hope eventually we'll get to a "super-level" language future where developers still input highly specific and organized needs, but not at the level we see today.
Interestingly, those companies could also switch to A: offer their services as a white-label manufacturer for Amazon to produce goods in that same vertical they were previously retailing in.

Americans already value physical privacy over digital.

Nobody is taking their guns, just their privacy, which they gave away long ago for likes.

Use the idiocy of masses for some good and maybe we can solve some real problems instead of dancing around the same old issues.

Net neutrality and digital privacy are dead, and most western countries are well on their way to becoming surveillance states.

I’m not sure how I feel about facial recognition. On one hand, I think code is just information and no piece of information should be illegal to possess. I also think we need to protect our rights with math and code not laws.

But I’m not sure that would help against the very real and dystopian future that seems just around the corner. Facial recognition is probably the key cornerstone of said future and I’m not sure what we should do.

Banning facial recognition also feels wrong to me, and violates the aforementioned axiom about information.

Moreover, many cities are already blanketed in thousands of government cameras and facial recognition doesn’t seem like anymore an abridgement of our privacy than the cameras alone.

Maybe we should just ban police cameras on streets? But the ship has probably already sailed on that one.

If sRGB (1,1,1) is XYZ (1,1,1), then sRGB (0,0,0) is XYZ (0.0025,0.0025,0.0025).

I used to think that, as a C programmer used to passing void-stars around bristling against C++ in 2001 (which, to be fair, was not a good language. I continued to think it through a years of writing Python and Ruby. Then I picked up Go, which I thought I would hate due to typing, and: the opposite thing happened.

Particular example: every time you've accidentally pulled the wrong key out of a map (because that's how everyone does structs in Ruby and Python and Javascript) and gotten a null pointer exception: those were probably type related issues, and they're easily buried and discovered only in production, or through stupidly intensive unit testing, much (not all, but much) of which exists mostly to cover for (wait for it) lack of typing.
Docker Bug Allows Root Access to Host File System
The real reason they are failing is not user-unfriendliness or tracking though. It's the intense competition and the broadening of the publisher base by 1000x with the advent of the internet, and the natural supply-demand adjustment to very low rates of return from advertising. This leads them to increase the advertising load in order to make ends meet, hence using more trackers.
