Ok, sure - but I suspect fairness in that sense means 'make sure this person isn't being treated (by the legal system) differently from someone else due to a technicality'.

Based on the phrasing, I suspect jessaustin was taking more of a 'justice for these bankrupt immigrants at the expense of Subway and their execs'. The judge would have looked at the bankrupt immigrants, seen people who deserved justice, then looked at Subway and its execs and seen another group of people who deserve justice and then made a decision most consistent with how such cases are handled.

Being deserving in the sense used in this thread isn't enough to overrule the basic priority of same situation -> same outcome in common law. And that is a principle that is worth defending, even in the passion of the moment when it causes outcomes that are unsatisfying.
That's quite far from the areas mentioned here (Bouches-du-Rhones, Vaucluse, Gard), which are not humid at all in summer.

Hot AND humid is really the worst...

Agreed entirely. I think there are about 4 electrical outlets for customers in the entirety of SXF. Also, the train station is nowhere near the airport, especially for the RB9 express train which is the furthest platform.

It's really the worst airport I've been to and as you say makes the whole situation a lot worse.

Honestly, I would kill to see real shifts and development in operating systems space and computing space in general. I would rather love to be in a world where the industry incrementally adapts newer kinds of operating systems in their workflow, a world where different kinds of ideas (example plan9, inferno, lisp, oberon) are regularly experimented with in the marketplace. Here we are stuck with the same kinds of systems which just work in one way, and working on standardizing it; where CLI programs are still considered professional;

This is spent effort to be lazy.

Having said that, it is technologically worth studying.

Also, wouldn’t partitioning only make sense if there is a sensible way to separate data that is more likely to be accessed vs data less likely to be accessed? Like is common with date data, since recent entries are often more relevant compared to old entries. For example, you could categorize SNPs by priority and eg. partition SNPs of high importance (frequently accessed) vs medium importance (sometimes accessed) vs low importance (rarely accessed).

I think you are right on with this. Most startups also leveraging an organizational culture that goes against silos or fiefdoms. In the startup culture I’ve been a part of fast feedback and early identification of flaws in the process is a cornerstone of the development process. Troubleshooting issues in production is the worse case scenario. In this case production is literally a flying airplane.
I don't think that I am the one that has to do the work to disprove my own contention... :) You have to make your own point and provide either actual arguments or actual references. You can't just point to a semi-random list of references.
Livy, Seneca, Cicero, Virgil also featured in my Latin classes. I'm not sure of the relative difficulty levels anymore, though. All of these were fascinating for different reasons: Livy for the narrative, Seneca for the wisdom (see also Montaigne who heavily quotes Seneca in his essays), Cicero for his personal involvement in Caesarian politics and Virgil for his role as Augustus' propagandist and continuation of the Homeric tradition.

I should read more of these texts, I remember being really fond of Latin classes.

Edit: to concur with GP, Caesar's writings (de bello Gallico) were somewhere in the first half of the curriculum and were definitely regarded as relatively easy.

Sounded like steganography... Encoding Morse code into unused bits in the ROM
I occasionally get vaguely intrigued by the sight of a mahjong game in a movie. And occasionally embark on a not-too-thorough search for a computer-powered AI-endowed approximation of the experience to entertain myself without burdening other humans. Which search ends in encountering a number of solitaire applications, but not a four-player version.

Meanwhile, I could play hearts, bridge or even something local such as durak, since the 90s.
See the "editor-support" link: there's the Dandelion plugin for Eclipse, although basic; I said Atom support is getting very good. There's Vim, a basic plugin for VS Code, and Lem, a self-contained editor ready to use for CL and many other languages (though it is "emacsy", same keybindings by default, vim-mode included). There's a Jupyter kernel and a terminal-friendly ipython-like repl.

So here is an idea, why don't they ask the SFMOMA experts if there is any way to remove the entire wall and donate it to their collection? I have seen Banksy pieces where they cutout the entire external wall an office building and displayed it in an art gallery for sale (granted not this large).
Seems like a win win, the school district gets the mural down and a new wall to paint however they like. SF MOMA gets a critical piece in their collection and I'm sure all the controversy will spike its total worth.
Granted cost would probably be substantially more, but perhaps the SF MOMA can help with that since they have a large endowment and would be receiving the piece.
As a professional Haskeller who solves numerical computation problems I wouldn't call ST an escape hatch. You're right that I can't think of a "pure" way to compute a histogram, but I doubt anyone uses Haskell specifically to prevent all mutations but rather to carefully control where mutation can occur[1]. I'd wager referential transparency is "good enough purity" for almost all tastes.

Actually, Joris writes code for GNU TeXmacs on a regular basis. But he did not update the main site before. The old-styled main site (before) delivered the wrong message.
Surely you understand the difference in burden of proof is different between a compelling news article and a court of law.

Truly Orwellian.
I like to think of it like this: one layer prioritizes which products, another layer prioritizes which users, another layer prioritizes which features, another layer chooses architecture that supports all features, another runs sprints.

Consider allocating resources to an email client vs. a web browser, then figuring out how much to focus on enterprise vs. small business vs. consumer, then figuring out user stories.

All require different analyses - a PM who should be asking specific customers for feedback would be ineffective if they also needed to agonize about the financial consequences (market size, biz dev team readiness to sell into that market, CoCA) of choosing those customers. And even the latter decisionmaker may be better able to focus by having a departmental budget, and letting the C Suite decide if browser dominance is something that maximizes shareholder value.

As a developer these things should seem self-obvious because ideally they were anticipated a year prior, headcount was allocated, and you were recruited at the right time. It’s rarely perfect, of course. But it doesn’t have to be - people don’t need to row in sync down to the millisecond, but without a coxswain there’s no hope.
Brain cells for 3D vision discovered
In both directions.

The worst of my teachers' behavior when I was a kid was beyond the pale, but no one took kids at face value.

Fact is, school is a horrible environment with disgusting power dynamics in every direction, which doesn't do anything to bring out the best in people. No one believes how bad it gets in there, and for some reason, promptly forgets what it was like in school when they were growing up. Or they just didn't comprehend it at the time.

> The management company now says the overall cost of the project will be 6bn euros (£5.3bn) - if it opens as planned next year

6 billion euros is $6.83B. That actually sounds like a bargain for a brand new airport with 2 runways.

For comparison, Heathrow's 3rd runway is estimated to cost £18.6B.[1] That's $23.6B for just 1 runway.

LAX renovation has a projected cost of $14B [2]. That's $14B just to "improve the design, safety and efficiency of the airport." No new runway will be built.

Hong Kong Airport 3rd runway is expected to cost HK$141.5B [3]. That's $18B for 1 runway.

I always thought the urge to replace switches with objects was fashionably bad advice.

I get that the object literal approach feels more functional, and that forgotten break statements will cause havoc tho.

Seems like a safeswitch construct is in order, that does not allow dropthrough. something like:

safeswitch(s) {
case 'alpha':
calc(alpha(x), 2);
case 'beta':
calc(beta(x), beta(x*x));
} else {
// default case here
calc(x);
}

alternatively, switch could be modified so that passthrough is not the default, and so, instead of a break statement one would use a passthrough statement to enable that behavior (opt in instead of opt out)
I definitely should not and I don’t even pretend anything I am saying would hold in court. That’s not even close to the point here.

I’m simply commenting on what I think is a misleading clickbait headline.

The biggest practical advantage I have found is that Linux has dramatically better filesystem I/O performance. Like, a C++ project that builds in 20 seconds on Linux takes several minutes to build on the same hardware in Windows.
The culture in many US schools is an adversarial mess where the teachers, administration, and students are in constant conflict over things that should be non-issues. There's often a sense that the primary purpose of school is to grind down any resistance to authority. Comparisons between school and prison aren't typical, but they're certainly not unheard of. Some schools have been known to lock/chain all side/rear exits during the school day to stop students from sneaking out (generally in blatant violation of fire code). Multiple school districts have had to settle lawsuits related to students being strip-searched.

In this culture the kind of system described by the article wasn't just predictable, it was utterly inevitable.
is this some kind of second system effect ?

KILL the h1b visa before it kills any more innocent people!!!

A silicon valley recruiter said this (on the phone to ME this past week) about the copy/paste-from-stack-exchange code monkeys from india on the h1b visa and those in india: "it's all crap!!!"

That was the first time I had ever spoken with him on the phone. So if he is that open about it, it's REALLY HORRIBLE!!!

But the situation is that evil scammer scumbag jews that have corrupted some companies prefer to not support and perpetuate and enrichen WESTERN CHRISTIAN SOCIETY by hiring PERFECTIONIST WHITE CHRISTIAN ENGINEERS and instead prefer cheaper, crappy, low quality, obedient and unquestioning third world goyim from india that will be easier puppets with which to assist in ruining WESTERN CHRISTIAN SOCIETY!!!

Any White software engineer that has been in silicon valley long enough KNOWS THAT!!!

tl;dr I made it to "Testing does not increase quality; programming and design do" and quit.

It seems clear that the author has a strong opinion on this and perhaps that has been formed by exposure to unit tests done wrong. I suppose his article is worth reviewing and asking if any of my unit tests suffer from the problems he identified. I think most of his complaints relate to badly applied unit tests and I think we can all agree that any methodology can be badly applied. That does not provide grounds to condemn the methodology.

Having used Fortran (and Macro-11) as the first languages I employed professionally, I do not recall any thrust for unit testing at that time. Maybe it was just the shop I worked in. More recently I have used unit tests for Go, C/C++, Python, Perl, Java, shell scripts and probably some I'm forgetting. I wouldn't consider coding anything w/out some kind of unit test.

Back to the quote "Testing does not increase quality; programming and design do", I disagree vehemently with the claim that testing does not increase quality. While true that one cannot 'test in' quality, I find that designing code to be testable provides higher quality results. This is particularly true in languages such as shell scripts that often start small and grow until they are hundreds of lines of in-line code. Testable code is generally better partitioned and structured than it would otherwise be.

A second benefit to unit testing is immediate feedback and completion of parts of the system. I get a feeling of accomplishment when I complete something that passes its tests and prefer that to deferring satisfaction until the entire thing works.

Finally, if I test the bits in isolation, I can provide them data for all of the corner cases I think could cause trouble and make sure they work for a wider range of inputs than could easily be done during integration testing. When I do get to the point where I put the bits together, I have a much higher success rate with integration testing.

The issue is simply that accurate estimation cannot be done for complex projects, yet people who aren't engineers and especially politicians cannot psychologically accept this, so insist on setting fixed size budgets (which then inevitably turn out to be insufficient).

A better approach would be to do what's done more in the tech industry - decide a project needs to be done, then allocate it a permanent percentage of total revenues with close supervision of the details, until it's completed.
Statues are inanimate. What glorification happens is by people. When you see a statue of something or someone you find distasteful, do you find yourself glorifying whatever it represents or does the statue instead simply serve as a reminder to you of the past for which you make your own judgements? Do statues impose meaning, or do people find their own meaning in them? Of course the answer is self evident.

One reason that purging of the past is so intrinsically tied to authoritarian regimes is because authoritarian regimes do not want people to think for themselves. They want to enforce their views and only their views with no possible ambiguity or counterpoint. This is the danger of flirting with authoritarianism, as I feel we have been doing in trying to purge the past. Once the momentum for 'cultural purification' grows, you may find that where you draw your personal line in the sand is not where the rest of those pursuing such ends choose to.
> It's written in an unusual programming language called OCaml, and in a fairly idiosyncratic dialect of it at that. This is of course no problem for a proof of concept meant to support a Ph.D thesis, but for software that's deployed in the field it makes maintenance quite difficult. Not only do we need to be bright enough to understand an algorithm that's literally someone's Ph.D thesis, but we need expertise in obscure programming languages and strange programming customs.

Looking at the code [0], it looks like fairly standard Ocaml. Any particular reason it's difficult to maintain (other than the lack of popularity of FP in general)?

(It looks like the original author of the SKS Keyserver is Yaron Minsky, the guy who convinced Jane Street to use Ocaml.)

I flew from and to Tegel once or twice per week on average last year. I find Tegel to actually be quite ok. Getting there on the TXL is quite convenient from many places in the city, and most importantly doesn't take very long (as opposed to Schönefeld/BER, which is rather far out). The interior could use a remodeling, but the layout is convenient because it has a security checkpoint per gate. I'm sure that is more expensive to operate than the single checkpoint per terminal model that is common these days, but it is quite efficient for getting to your gate.
To be clear: is this suggesting that it is currently entirely unsafe to update any operation-critical equipment? It seems that now that the PoC is out in the wild, it will be a matter of days/hours before someone hits a major contributor to the major Linux distros; and all package managers begin to fail.

What are the implications of this? What could go wrong outside of runtime errors?

When I've used this pattern in the past I've used a reusable 'getter' object which implements `hasOwnProperty` on itself for the sake of being sure I'm getting only the stuff I want. But it's not quite as concise as what's shown in the example, apart from getting the default internally rather than externally using ||.

I didn't do this for security though, I did it for sanity - I don't want to get false positives when accessing, and the prototype has a ton of properties.
I am curious if anyone knows if Google is going to bake analytics into the OS, like Android?

Sure, and while biased reporting can certainly promote an incorrect worldview, it doesn't quite meet the standard of being "fake". The game is much more about outright fabricated stories that gain credibility.

There can be more than one bad thing happening at once, and it's not necessary that everything address all of them.
I side with the teachers on this one. Parents should not be able to watch their kids' classroom in realtime. There are helicopter parents out there, now they will be helicoptering the poor teachers and other students.

I think surveillance should still be used but with limitation, similar to police bodycams. Have audio/video recording and provide it to the parents if an incident arises or if there is a reasonable request from a parent. This introduces subjectivity but if carefully implemented that could be minimized.
