That's just wrong. This is ML 101

False positive = (Machine says positive but grand truth is negative) / (Machine says is positive)

In English, a false positive is when the machine declares something as positive but it is actually negative.

This fits a sanity test because ~50% of people that pass through a detector do not get patted down. The truth is closer to 10%. Even then, a true positive probably includes someone with two pennies in their pocket.
For me the right balance is installing i3 on a system with GNOME installed as well. I get all the GNOME apps working well together, but my window manager looks and works the way I want it to. The only issue is configuring some of the GNOME apps (GNOME Online Accounts), where I have to convince Control Center that it's running under GNOME. Spawning the polkit agent and some of the other GNOME components works pretty well too. I just wish I could get the nice GNOME toolbar rather than my polybar (which I like, but took far too long to get working the way I wanted).
> Seems that the authors assuming that new contributors are more willing to learn Java instead of Clojure.

No, many more people know Java than Clojure, that's it. Whether it's the right decision for the future of the project, time will show, but I don't think it was taken lightly.

More specifically, the complaints reportedly referenced issues pertaining to a takeoff “autopilot system” and situations where the plane is “nose-down” while trying to gain altitude. One pilot reportedly wrote that it was “unconscionable” that Boeing and federal authorities allowed pilots to fly the planes without fully describing how the 737 Max 8 was different than other planes. “The fact that this airplane requires such jury-rigging to fly is a red flag,” the same pilot wrote.
This is so true. Naming to me is one of the most important decisions. When I see someone who frets over naming decisions for hours, or will sit down with me and really think through what we're going to name something - I know they get the gravity of the situation. I trust those kinds of people much more for big picture architectural or project lead decisions.
Correct, and they also have a multitude of soft power ways to destroy someone as well (freeze bank accounts, push a narrative in the media, imprisonment), as well as define their target as an "enemy combatant", after which all bets are off on lawful treatment.

Anyone who thinks that firearms purchased through their local gun store will do anything to stop a truly tyrannical government is living in a fantasy.
MongoDB did not have an "AWS problem". AWS did not release anything related to MongoDB until after they stopped making open-source releases.

MongoDB had a "We gave others freedoms we didn't like" problem, so they rescinded those freedoms. Freedoms that they'd given in the first place to profit off of the reputation of Open Source Software. If they'd never given those freedoms out, they'd never have had any problems.
Best quote from the article for me: "At the rate gig work is growing, future generations won’t have a minimum wage, unemployment insurance, worker’s compensation for injuries, employer-provided social security, overtime, family and medical leave, disability insurance, or the right to form unions and collectively bargain."

When I talk to gig workers about why they're driving for Uber, charging scooters, ghost writing, etc. even when the answer is (increasingly rarely) along the lines of saving for a vacation or paying off debts, I can't help but think to myself, "does anyone remember when American workers could afford a middle class lifestyle and some vacation time every year without having to work a second job?" It just seems like we're moving backwards even while people are touting unemployment numbers and cheap disposable goods as progress.

It's semantics, but I don't think "there are people actively attacking our military, and we are struggling with peace" really counts as "winning the war". But I agree that military is probably not the most effective way to achieve progress at this stage.
Friend of mine said that before moving to US he always thought that scenes in Hollywood movies about guys and girls punching and kicking through the walls were totally ridiculous. After living in Seattle for a while he no longer thinks so. The walls are indeed much thinner than in Europe. He supposed that this was due to earthquakes. What was the point to make home heavier/more robust if it still is not enough to protect against strong earthquakes while making evacuation harder? That and the culture that prefers to rebuild from scratch rather than maintaining older things leads to houses that are only good for 30-40 years...
I think the two-pass assembler method is the way to go. With hand-crafted keyword to mnemonic translation tables.
Could be seen as an expression of dialectic development. The overall tendency in many (most?) living systems is towards integration at the next scale, which needs a certain amount of centralization. But whenever centralization is imposed it is usually overkill (the pendulum swings too far), which causes a decentralization effort (back to the autonomy of the parts), that however will retain some remnant of the previous centralization drive. At a certain point the decentralization swings too far too, and so centralization takes place again, in a slightly different way this time.

The combined effect of these oscillations is an equilibrium between centralization and decentralization of the organism which is optimally adapted to the environment at that scale of integration. Which is why neither centralization nor decentralization are ideals, they are both needed in an evolutionary process, albeit at different times.
For those who want good sides of tiling DE but won't want to install tiling WM, there is Openbox. If you aren't afraid of editing configuration XML, you can assign hotkeys to place windows in quarters/halves of the display or to jump them between displays. Also Openbox is very fast. It can be used in place of XFCEs or KDEs own WM, so nothing stops you from having benefits of full-fledged DE along with powerful WM. That being said, Openbox lacks shadows or transparency (so separate compositor like xcompmgr or compton is needed) and doesn't render rounded corners. I use XFCE + Openbox combo at my workplace for 5 years now.

Not sure what you mean. Please elaborate your thoughts...

> and be unconstitutional

Guess what else is unconstitutional?

Surely you must realize that the practical way forward with gun control is to slowly increase restriction over time?

Jumping directly into an outright ban / constitutional amendment situation is a waste of effort.

Having said that, shouldn't these increasing gun restrictions seek to reduce gun deaths by their maximum ability? For instance, I would imagine you support restricting drunk people from driving as a sensible way to reduce car-related deaths? Therefore why would you be against targeting specific groups who produce a majority of the gun-related deaths?
That is theoretically impossible: a bytecode VM must perform machine code generation and it must do so on the fly or pre-assemble the code, both of which impose a tremendous performance penalty. That's why Java is so slow, for example.
The point is that the idea of public millimeter wave surveillance has some amount of public support.

> Probably a bit too novel but why not just not killing other people? I mean we’ve had a long history that doesn’t include random acts of mass murder why now?

I don't know what period of history you're referring to. There has been constant wars or regional conflicts for the majority of recorded human history. If you're specifically talking about home-front terrorism, there is a fairly long history of this occurring too (just the case of terrorism in Ireland takes you back to the late 1960s). Civil wars were incredibly common in Europe in the medieval era, let alone the Crusades.

This isn't to excuse what's happening today (far from it) but to put in context that there isn't a perfect time in history we should regress back to -- rather, we need to move the world into a state it hasn't seen before.

To be fair, it is definitely the case that modern US imperialism (read: waging illegal and offensive wars overseas) is the cause of many modern problems such as the refugee crisis and acts of terrorism. After all, the US is arguably responsible for Islamic extremism thanks to the CIA-backed coup in Iran[1] and countless other countries[2] that fueled anti-Western sentiments culminating in terrorism.

I think stopping rampant (and illegal) imperialism would be far more effective than "building a culture".

I find Gregory Hay's translation much more readable, here's the same passage:

Fatal necessity, and inescapable order. Or benevolent Providence. Or confusion—random and undirected.
If it’s an inescapable necessity, why resist it?
If it’s Providence, and admits of being worshipped, then try to be worthy of God’s aid.
If it’s confusion and anarchy, then be grateful that on this raging sea you have a mind to guide you. And if the storm should carry you away, let it carry off flesh, breath and all the rest, but not the mind. Which can’t be swept away.
That's like saying it's OK for me to pirate music because I can't tell the difference between Spotify and PirateBay.

But as long as lobbying is a thing and those companies have a deep pocket I have no expectations that a solution (which I'm sure already exists) will be implemented.
"Abstract machines and just-in-time compilers make languages like Java more efficient, not less."

More efficient when compared to itself, but still extremely slow and inefficient compared to a straight machine code binary executable.

As the article points out (but does not emphasise), the houses in Japan are by design transient. They are built to fit need, and demolished to make space for something new in their due time.

This makes the land much more valuable - a plot can be repurposed when necessary, especially when the zoning rules and taxation encourage it too.
So my best bet explanation for a non-UFO explanation is a hypersonic plasma cloaked, MHD controlled drone.

Control despite visible wings or aerodynamic surfaces, at will invisibility to radar, anomalous thermal signatures, hypervelocity at relatively low altitudes, accelerations that will kill humans, can all be explained by this.

However, I will admit that the extremely high reported acceleration afaik is not something we know of. Perhaps solid rocket boosters?
The abstract machine in C is a concept, not an actual machine. The entire C compiler toolchain is designed to translate that abstract machine into machine code suitable for the target.
Yes, the Public Cloud, which houses most of the smaller Managed Infrastructure accounts (minimal support) is one of the bigger ... I believe the polite word is "opportunities?" It's a very pretty UI on top of a somewhat fragile Open Stack deployment, which needs a significant amount of work to patch around noisy infrastructure problems. That turns into a support floor burden, and it shows in ticket latency. Critiques directed at that particular product suite are, frankly, quite valid. I think Rackspace tried to compete with AWS, realized very quickly that they do not have Amazon's ability to rapidly scale, and very nearly collapsed under their own weight.

That said, our FAWS team are a good bunch, and what AWS lacks in support they more than make up for in well engineered, stable infrastructure. Since Rackspace's whole focus is support, I think the pairing works well on paper and it should scale effectively, but we'll have to see how it plays out in practice.
Stoicism has always been about achieving eudaemonia. If that isn’t the definition of self help I have no clue what is.
You don't have to hand carve blades. As far as I understand it wooden propellers were pretty close to optimal, I don't see why turbine blades would be different

The article does mention one turbine optimised to run at lower speeds, which might be the increased reliability mentioned, but no it doesn't explain the power output. I'd tend to put that down to poor writing / and artifact of a previous draft, so I still don't think it's enough to write off the entire article, website and writer.

The author's article on small turbines not generating their own embodied energy was what first made me aware of that 'issue'. This is an attempted fix. I agree with you that the best solution is to go bigger, still the proposed options, particularly the pole seem sensible even on a village sized turbine.
> Also, I've never quite understood what macOS people have against snapping the edges

My go to example to explain this is the “The many windows of
John Siracusa” podcast from ATP a few years ago.

The relevant discussion starts at 1:33:00

https://atp.fm/episodes/96

Siracusa, who grew up as a (classic) Mac user, explains his tiling and overlapping habits to Arment and Liss, who grew up as Microsoft Windows users and later switched, and they gasp in utter horror, shock and awe.

For example Siracusa says he currently has a dozen terminal windows open, and also a couple browser windows, normal for him, in BBEdit he regularly hits 20-40; they ask him if he doesn’t know about tabs and he replies “Oh, I love tabs! Of course every Window has many tabs!”. How would he manage/organize hundreds of tabs in multiple applications with a snapping tiling manager? He can’t. It is fun from there. Like, he jokes after a work day (week) his desktop also has “sedimentary layers”.
> Clojure, in fact is quite easy to grasp - especially for someone coming from Java

I disagree on that point. In my experience as a programming language teacher, people often struggle to learn functional programming and even more to learn a Lisp, especially if they are used to a C-like language. And learning both at the same time is even more difficult. I liked working with Clojure but I have yet to meet someone who easily grasps the language and - more important - development patterns.
You're right, current terminology fails to elucidate what it actually is we do. For one, real architects have regulations to follow and need to keep up with evolving trends.

Maybe a journalism metaphor would be better. That would make it obvious our work is seldom done the first go around and also make it clear we can't do our work without sources - in my experience, that's what often leads to bad/fragile software. Like in journalism, there are obvious differences in quality and style between individuals. Objectivity is the expectation, but you'll find bias anyway. And finally, people might be able to intuit that time spent is hardly ever fully on just writing code.

We could use editor instead of architect, distinguishing between exposé and article to make the distinction between deep investigation and one-off work.

The author provides no examples of "Anti-patterns" that should or should not be called anti-patterns. He just claims it's derogatory and is critical to people's opinions.

To quickly label some solution as an anti-pattern is useful because it's efficient. We repeat the same mistakes and it's usually not worth the effort to make a detailed analysis for every single mistake developers do just so their feelings don't get hurt from "derogatory" anti-pattern-labeling.
poor lisp, just like reddit ... always dropped for another language.
I am skeptical on the point that a good publishers adds no value.

In our case, we authors have been publishing papers for over a decade. And together we have almost 1000 citations for our papers.

And yet, we were not able to think over and improve on certain aspects of a book that we discovered only after talking to our current publisher.

Maybe if you are completely clear on what your book is about and how will readers react to it, a publisher might not matter. But for us, it seems it was not the case.
To outgun a military is probably not a practical ambition for a civilian, simply because stockpiling this stuff would be nuts economically. Very ironically this is something where having a black market helps. The live-round 2014 Kiev battles might be an example of a realistic scenario where different gun regulations could have had a strong impact.

There are some definite no-nos, like assault-weapons. And if you want to regulate, instead of prohibit, you have to invest into a good gun culture, which we really don't know anything about. That would be a big social engineering challenge.

There are some advantages, like lone-shooter type events becoming much less insidious, which don't cost as many lives as say sedentary life-styles, but being powerless in those (improbable) situations makes us very insecure. That insecurity is very erosive and tiring; but on the other hand, if gun-carry was implemented, and we didn't have a good enough culture, you'd get "casual" shootings, where what would have been a fist fight turned into a gun fight.

There's also the argument about whether or not to treat adults as inherently competent. Prohibition, i.e. complete deregulation, all in all seems to me like a quick hack; of course, the other side of the coin is that good regulation is really hard. I'm somewhat torn, but leaning towards regulation. To me it seems like one of those decisions that isn't easy, because it's not win-win-win across the board, but it's worse if you don't do it.

Of course this is mostly fantasy. I don't think we'll see gun-carry in the West any time soon. We're used to complete delegation of personal-security and the shift, at this point, would be counter-cultural.
This doesn't make sense when you use the term "for a day". One day isn't long enough to change anyone's habits.

But it's not like it would make more sense if the term was longer. The whole reason the Internet was created was to be the network that could survive a nuclear war. It'll always be there. People communicated via the Internet way before reddit and others, and would continue doing so if they were to disappear.

"Imagine living without the Internet" is a useless imagination. It's a thing of the past with no way of reappearing. If your ISP were to go down, I assume you'd just switch to mobile data. Assuming you're using two different companies, it would take quite a catastrophe for both of them to be down at the same time, at which point your survival instinct would kick in, not a desire to make meaningful relationships offline.
Also, java 8 and above is getting a lot leaner to use, api, linguistics .. so the gap with clojure is a bit less than before.
I know a librarian making around $100k in a small city. The job involves knowing ancient Greek and Latin, which surely affects pay.

Perhaps it wasn't the greatest example. It's what popped into mind as a skilled job that isn't just software or finance. Maybe a better example would be a dermatologist, an air traffic controller, a fire investigator, or a civil engineer.

Dual income also has very real consequences for both spouses. It causes plenty of resentment. Typically the woman ends up doing most housework, even if the man intends to do half of it. That right there is a huge source of resentment. Risk of divorce goes up greatly if the woman earns more. Finding affordable child care and ensuring that it is never interrupted becomes a source of stress.

While it is relatively important for the small-city people to be prepared to move, it is normal to stay in one place. Job hopping is less common. Small cities also often specialize in an industry, with several possible employers, so staying put while changing employer is often possible.

The urban environment has its own very real consequences on relationships and community. Residents are typically renters who can find themselves evicted. Because there is such a large mass of anonymous people, relationships are throw-away from the start.
