The managers I’m referring to don’t need to see you working. They want you to see you collaborating and socializing with the team in person, but are fine with you doing your actual coding at home and rarely if ever touching your desk. The office is open plan but usually pretty empty, as everyone is either in conference rooms or at home.

I like what you're trying to do and definitely something id use when it's more mature. Not a comment on the quality or feature set, i just like to know tech isn't going to stop being supported after I spend time migrating to it.

I do have to say though that I think you're really setting yourself up to underwhelm with that Google comparison. Google is absolutely a search engine first and foremost in everyone's minds. Normie or geek. No one says "I googled it" to mean they innovated.

The distinction is supposed to be that "biological facts" no longer include gender. Gender is now fluid psychological term, not a biological one. In other words, you said "advantages of a man" instead of "advantages of a genetic male", which is now wrong.

But apparently I'm incorrect in thinking that you're not supposed to discuss "trans women" as a group, which is still confusing to me.

What? Operating systems are big projects and the tools to write them safely (and open source) haven't existed for very long, so it's a question of manpower and effort not technology. C has almost no performance benefits these days, either, due to advances in compiler optimization; if anything it can be less as other languages can provide more static guarantees to the compiler to use when optimising.

That network stack written in C gave us heartbleed for example. If C arrays were bounds checked by default (e.g. they carry around their size), this could've been easily avoided at no runtime cost.

How can you honestly complain about people wanting more safety in software? If it's speed ("high performance") then you're probably implementing yourself in C (e.g. Bounds checking) something that is built in either at runtime or even statically as can be done in some cases.
Apparently the initial implementation (iOS 8) randomized it every time the screen sleeps or wakes. I wasn't able to find any recent documentation detailing the current behavior - probably similar?
Also interested. Could you describe the process?

>The difference between math and philosophy is that having a pure maths degree will provide someone with a number of job prospects. But that isn't really the intent of math programs.

I realize this, but the reality, as you stated yourself, is that it really does make you employable. The intent doesn't matter; the actual employability the degree confers does.

Theater degrees are basically the opposite here. The goal of that degree is surely to produce people who can act on stage (and have it transferrable to TV/movies too I suppose), but the reality is that it isn't very employable because there just aren't many job openings in that field compared to the number of people who want to work in it.

The intent doesn't matter if you're in control of allocating money for degrees for prospective students; the only thing that matters is how likely those borrowers will be to pay back their loans, or if this is a grant (i.e. free university), how likely this investment will be to produce someone who will pay back society with taxes. A degree that has a very poor likelihood of leading to a decent-paying job is not a good investment from this point-of-view, and the "intent" of that degree is irrelevant.

It wasn't really the sysadmins that got free stuff - it was department managers / tech leads, etc, that would get gear in for review to see if it fit with our workflow, processes, etc.

Us sysadmins just had to install/maintain it, and occasionally would "profit" when it was retired and the company/vendor didn't want it back.

Managed to build an entire multi-node NetApp cluster out of spare and retired parts one day when we were bored. Our NetApp rep said "I didn't see this, I don't know it's here, I don't know it exists, as far as I care it's a bunch of spare parts you just happened to put in a rack..." :D

Assuming the newest ipod touches will work with this, $200 is the cheapest you could do this with in terms of using an iOS device (not that i'm suggesting this is a great option. As pointed out by the other second-level comments, you could just use tile or a real gps tracker without needing iOS).
So that direct sense of understanding something, without any helping intermediates like symbols or visual aids, is just the mind directly. It is its own thing. Another way to look at it, is if everything you thought needed a symbolic or physical/visual aid, you wouldn’t be able to represent everything, you wouldn’t be able to think.
This. Failure of remote working is usually a problem with managers who don't/won't/can't manage remote employees effectively. If they can't manage based on results, only on "butts-in-seats" whipcracking, then they should get a time machine and travel back to a time before the internet, like in a sweatshop.

That seems probable, yes.

What if you set up a booth in a shopping mall in the spring of 2016 in California or Massachusetts and gave away pro-Trump stickers? I assure you there are plenty of people out there in both states, many of them likely working on YouTube, who view that as equivalent to your hypothetical. I know a number of them personally.

Trust me, I'm not a fan of the sort of rhetoric you describe. But I also don't like slippery slopes with no guardrails. I expect we'll end up with guardrails here in the end, after a few decades and a bunch of court cases, but it's going to take a while.

It doesn't matter. They are looking at effects relative to the total effect of language choice, which they report as less than 1%. Instead of looking at these secondary effects, the main practical result is that language choice hardly matters.
Quite an interesting article which at least verges on parody.

The thing about the automation of bureaucracy is that what it being produced doesn't a value but rather has a "redistribution effect", so more tax codes produce at best a more fine-tuned rearrangement of wealth according to the ideas of legislators. So increased productivity is meaningless.

One thing I'd add is that there areas that produce useful items but where the insertion of automation has helped much either - health care is an example I find interesting. And certainly there are places where computer-based large-scale automation has resulted in serious increases in productivity (I believe rail roads had this in the 1990s).

So question of where automation tends to fail and where it tends to succeed is a bit open - but it seems like "organizing complex, interlocked human interactions" is one place where failure is common.

>And it's a good idea to force private spaces to allow everything on their spaces or declaring it public spaces even if they are not?

It's a good idea to force some of them to allow some things. You don't believe private property rights are somehow absolute, do you? You understand that there can be competing concerns that are more important than property rights is some cases, surely.

>If your private space becomes a public space, does it make you some kind of government?

I'm not sure what that means. Plenty of private companies are heavily regulated, such as utilities. They're not governments.

>The amount of people present on a private property do not take away the owners rights.

Tell that to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_v._Alabama

>Nobody takes that away from them. They can still express themselves elsewhere. Those places exist.

Anyone can express himself in his own living room. But that doesn't do him any good. Telling certain people that they can't express themselves somewhere that it matters, while letting other people express other political viewpoints in that same place, and justifying that by telling them they are free to express themselves in a dark room, is not going to be particularly satisfying to them. Sure, anyone can go put his videos on a website of his own creation, but if no one is on that website, it's not going to do any good. And people know that. Your alternatives are not real alternatives, because they don't solve the problem those people are trying to solve.

>And I guess this is the core of the problem.

Your problem, perhaps. Not mine.

>based upon a misunderstanding of private vs. public.

What do you think I'm misunderstanding? I know what you mean by censorship, and I don't care to make you feel otherwise about the meaning of that word. I don't care if what YouTube is doing meets your definition of censorship. I care if people think YouTube should be stopped from doing what it is doing, regardless of what word is used to describe it.

>But they should. Especially if you want concern for your own position. This is how a healthy society works.

You're referring to people in different countries, where there is what you call real censorship. I don't live in a place that qualifies under your definition, so I'm not part of their society. And I'm not looking for sympathy from them.
This is obviously untrue if you consider the people who call Ben Shapiro, who is Jewish, a Nazi. It's obvious to most people that people take wild liberties on the interpretation of words, especially when insulting people who they consider their enemies.

Define "substantial part". I would argue that it is not at all substantial and the evidence is on my side.

They'd just have a tinfoil lined bag. No suspicion. I bet you can buy one one Amazon for next to nothing as it is.
Posting about how they're going to take over delivery while being investigated for antitrust stuff is an interesting choice.
While I'm not 100% sure, I think it _might_ be the case of writing Urdu online vs on paper. I'll try to grab an Urdu book or newspaper tomorrow and see how it is written. Thanks for the insight, this was very interesting.
Are you sure that the energy cost is lower for a delivery van? Fully loaded (though presumably uncommon for residential deliveries), a commercial van will carry 4 tons and have pretty poor gas mileage. Electric vans may help, but it's still quite a lot of weight to drive around.

The drones have no driver (thus lower margins and/or a richer Amazon, neither of which are necessarily good for inequality, though it does free up more humanity from mundane tasks like delivering parcels), and can be loaded quickly and automatically. The article mentions they can carry 5 lbs, which I suspect is enough to carry a few deliveries at once. As the article mentions, 80% of their sales are less than 5 lbs.

All that said, the noise pollution is going to be horrendous. The visual pollution I don't mind so much, as it _may_ allow cities to lower the number of cars on the road (fewer people driving to run errands), though it's definitely going to feel creepy and dystopian, especially if Amazon are the only ones running these things and there isn't _extremely_ strong privacy oversight.

I don't think the reason companies are moving to devops is to save on ops costs. At most companies their ops guys are cheaper than their devs. They're doing it because there was an unexploited gap between development and ops that has a lot of potential.

I can think of selection bias effects both in-favor of more defects and against it.

On one hand, Haskell or Clojure probably attract more academic types who have a reputation for (consistent with my experience) on-average worse-quality code.

On other hand, the barrier-to-entry for these languages is higher so they tend to be programmed by more experienced folks. I assume that people pick functional languages in part because they believe the functional paradigm leads to higher-quality code, so the sample probably cares more about code quality to begin with.

tbh i don't know Go too well. as i understand it, `panic` can indeed hijack the control flow, i.e. stop it. but any function¹ can do that: just do `while 1 {}`! control flow won't return to the caller either way. so it's not that weird after all

Ruby blocks can do non-local control flow, i.e. return from their surrounding function, but that's what makes them distinct from functions.

It sounds like you're staying at expensive hotels.

I just spent 2 weeks in Japan. The locally-owned hotels had laundry on-site usually. This isn't full-service laundry; this is a coin-op machine on the ground floor that you use yourself. The one I used at a very new hotel in Osaka (Sarasa in Dotenbori) was really nice; you just put your Y400 in and come back in an hour or so, as it does both washing and drying. At hostels, it varies, but one I stayed at just charged me Y100 to wash a load, but they didn't have a dryer so I had to walk down the street and pay Y200 to dry it.

Did you even look at laundromats? If you're expecting hotel staff to do your laundry for you, then you're not going to get that cheap in almost any country, certainly not any industrialized one.
I agree, the part about analytics sounds like a bad news, given that there's no fine line... Also, I'm very curious how would they impose it? Suppose I still want to use my analytics provider as a SaaS, but will just relay traffic to it via my servers, and would only use that analytics for game tuning - how would Apple know about it?..

Another problem is that nowadays each app usually uses quite a few 3rd party libs/services, and each one of them may have analytics of one sort or another, even when the app doesn't explicitly use them for that, f.e. Crashlytics, Firebase, Logentries... With a strict approach there, I'd be worried about stability of kids apps, if devs would be forced to disable those services...

If your happy but very drunk friend wanted to tapdance on the edge of a tall building, would you restrain them if necessary? Or if someone high on shrooms was trying to drink bleach?

A suicidal mind is often one caught in the temporary throes of delusion and irrationality, even if it comes from internal wiring going haywire instead of external substances.

Preventing someone from killing themselves is in their best interest most of the time for that reason. Suicidal impulses are most often fleeting relative to normal lifespan.

My wife tried to kill herself a few times when we were younger - I wrestled knives from her hands and had to get a safe for pills (which she agreed to in her better states). With therapy and medicine, she is very, very happy to be alive now.
I am troubled that 12% say they couldn’t cover the $400 expense, and that 14% claim it would stop them from paying some of their other bills. But even if respondents are accurately reporting on their finances, these numbers suggest their situation is relatively uncommon.

That's between 1/7th and 1/8th of adults responding to a survey, some of whom presumably have kids to look after. This guy seems so in love with demonstrating his statistical abilities that it's made him dismissive of ~30-35 million people with severe cash flow problems.

> The fact that neither of the two groups trained on the two different tasks (character-to-quantity and quantity-to-character) could generalize their learning to the opposite task also doesn't bode well.

I thought about it, and have found a similar phenomenon in my own experience. English is not my native language, I learned English mostly by reading books in English. I knew a loads of words from a several of authors and could grasp any grammatical construct easily. But I had a big problem with speaking or writing: I couldn't find words to express myself. I know words that means what I want. When I meet words, I could connect them to their meaning easily, but the reverse doesn't work so good. With a practice it becomes easier, but I guess I have to use a word to express myself at least once to master this word to a point, when I could remember it when it is needed.

There is one more detail, maybe unrelated, I have a great troubles when I need translate English into Russian (my native language). I understand an English phrase, but I couldn't find Russian words to match English ones. Though it is an easier task than to find an English word which I know but haven't used before. This task also benefits from practice.
