You are right, I over-specialized my definition I suppose, but I still stand by my point of this differentiation between instrumental music and lyrical music.

With Instrumental music, the challenge becomes conveying ideas over a non-verbal medium, a challenge which is non-existent in music with heavy lyrical emphasis.

"Social skill" and "empathy" are very different things. An awkward person can be empathetic. A charming person can be callous.

In fact, I'm even suspicious of people who say "the most valuable skill a programmer can have isn't technical, but rather social" because they often turn out to be aptitudinally-challenged programmers themselves.

In my experience the programmers who are saying that are usually engineering leadership. If you believe the endgame is becoming engineering leadership, then it's absolutely true that soft skills become more important.

While I don't agree that "social skills" are the most valuable skill for a programmer, I do sincerely think it is the most common reason why competent programmers hit an invisible ceiling in their careers. I've seen plenty of programmers who are technically talented and hardworking, but who get stuck in their careers at the junior end of "senior" because nobody wants to work with them no matter how right they are. If person A is right 90% of the time but nobody wants to deal with them, and person B is right 80% of the time and people are willing to listen, I would rather keep B over A because those junior developers who are running at 60% will turn into 80%-ers under B, but they'll stay 60% under A.

Interesting but ultimately a flawed concept.

Since i was born and for 45 years i was eating a typical mediterranean diet (i live in these parts) very high in complex carbs and fibers from legumes, whole grain breads, beans. what exactly did that to my health?
Gradualy from my early teens years i become overweight and later on obese, my cholesterol levels skyrocket and from the age of 20 i became pre-diabetic

Since i started a low carb diet 3 years ago (48 yo now) not only i lost all that extra weght, but i'm no longer pre diabetic and the cholesterol levels went down to normal levels. most importantly, i feel and i'm as healthy as i've never felt in my whole life so far.
and all this by eating mostly meat, fish, eggs, full fat dairy and a bit of vegetables/fruits

I know very well what these 45 years of eating low-fat high complex carbs actualy did to my health and how much i suffered all these years, and i'm not intend to return back to these eating habits, Ever!

It depends on sanctions and it is more nuanced usually. Usually people that are under sanctions are hit hardest by them. Other people usually are hit by their government and brainwashed by propaganda that sanctions are to blame.
Essentially every stock sale (barring a need for immediate cash for another purpose) is a bet that stock isn’t going to perform as well as alternative investments over time. So, yes, pretty much anyone who trades in stock is betting on companies to, if not fail, underperform the market over time.
Over what timescale?

United Launch Alliance, SpaceX's main (only?) competitor pulls in a few billion in revenue a year. Profits are well under $100 million, so we're talking Trillions over a couple thousand years. Arguably, if we're disrupted into a spacefaring species, this could change, but there's physical problems with that.

You might be correct about rideshare/taxi industries over a 100 year timespan or something, but not before Elon dies.

So that leaves car industries. Which are the closest, but EVs aren't going to take over any time soon, and other carmakers are better at logistics than Tesla, and that's the important part.
Frugality (is a super power) [audio]
I’d argue that until C++11 C++ was /objectively/ a terrible language and the only reason people used it (and continue to use it) is because it’s nearly 40 years old and therefore ubiquitous. C++ is a language that is literally famous for being famous. I know I certainly wouldn’t be using it if I had any other viable (high performance) language with the same ecosystem, support and tooling. It’s not “battle tested” it’s just too big to fail, and therefore a lot of smart people have dedicated a lot of effort to developing tools and standards that make it just barely passable for enterprise use.

Cyanobacteria is the most influential organism in the history of the planet. Nothing comes even close (arguably including humans). Nearly all of the energy processed in living organisms can be traced back to cyanobacteria (either via photosynthesis, or via consuming products of photosynthesis, or products of consuming products of ...). This extends to modern human energy usage via fossil fuels.

I don't think the right question is whether translations are "faithful" or "cultural", I think it's whether they translate what was said, or what a native speaker would have said in a similar situation. To me, when JP dialog is translated precisely the results tend to sound overly neutral and explanatory - i.e. you get flat dialog that an English speaker wouldn't say. So the choice before the translator is either to sound unnatural or to editorialize.

But I think there's a second-order thing going on, where audiences who consume a lot of anime/JRPGs/etc are used to a certain kind of translation, and dialog that's too colorful or expressive winds up not sounding "proper" because one isn't used to anime characters talking that way. E.g. when an anime character makes a cultural reference that will be incomprehensible to non-Japanese audiences, I think a lot of anime fans will expect that to be translated "faithfully" (i.e. incomprehensibly), rather than be replaced with a reference they're familiar with (even if the replacement conveys the same meaning to them that the original conveyed to JP audiences).

> It just seems odd that a healthy market has actors that profit from the failures of companies

Try googling "why do markets allow short selling". First response [1]. tl;dr - short selling helps your retirement account & balances the market when there are bad actors, such as Enron.

> If it's healthy how do I profit from global climate disasters?

You're conflating things. Profit != world health.

Profit is just a human motivational tool, and money is paper trust. I wrote this software that helps your farming equipment run, and I need food. Money smooths these transactions so I don't need to trade goods-for-goods in every scenario.

I don't know how anyone could profit from hurting climate. Ultimately, destroying your environment destroys you. That's like kicking the amniotic sac open. Why do that? To the extent someone is so-motivated, I'd argue they're depressed, not profit-oriented.

> I'll just keep investing in prison companies for now. /s

I don't know whether that's possible for the average person. For a wealthy entity, it's still a risk, because that industry could disappear due to public pressure. Your money may have been better invested elsewhere.

This thread is about Iran.

You can criticize other nations if you feel like it.

That doesn't change the true fact that Iran does indeed funding militant groups that kill lots of people, and therefore the "Oh, boo hoo, Iran is being targeted because they refuse to tow the line" thing is silly.

That is my only point. That it is silly to play the sympathy card when we are discussing funding militant groups.
Humans evolved during the ice age. There were no vegetables in large enough quantities to feed the human brain's massive growth over the past million years. Every single paleolithic cave art depicts animals and hunting techniques. Fossil evidence from millions of years ago show bone scrapes on zebra and reindeer bones in human caves. We evolved to hunt wooly mammoths twice the size of elephants for goodness sake. We decimated whole populations of megafauna. You would have to go back 4-6 million years ago to find scavenger ancestors.

> The main reason for US policy changes vis-à-vis Iran in the past couple years has been spite toward the previous US administration.

Well, this is a bit simplistic. A lot of Trump actions show a pretty clear pattern: recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, recognition of the annexation of Golan by Israel, recognition of the right of Israel to annex parts of the West Bank. Israel has been campaigning for the US to attack Iran for at least the past 15 years, and has used every diplomatic resource to campaign against the nuclear deal with Iran.

Connect the dots.
As others have mentioned, this would be true only if by 'liberal' you understand 'in full agreement with US policy'. The most relevant example is actually Iran: the US and UK orchestrated a coup to get rid of the last democratic regime in Iran and reinstall the militaristic, authoritarian Shah.

They have done the same or similar in a lot of South America, starting well before the world wars.

That is not to say that they are unique in this - it is how all empires operate. My point is only that the US is not some idealistic, freedom, democracy, and everything good loving benefactor of the world. It is an empire, one that is quite good to its own people but that ruthlessly pursuits its rational interests abroad.

I made the decision of not installing play services or emulation layers on my phone, and I can confirm a bunch of low-key apps do not work because of this.

AOSP is progressively becoming less useful, and there is no open alternative. Alarming.
The article sort of mentions this, but I thought it should be pointed out fully: in c/c++ from the language standpoint it's impossible to have a data race without a race condition, because a data race is undefined behavior and that means anything can happen, including race conditions.
> There is no moral high ground here.

Ok, so if there is no moral highground here, then don't play the sympathy card about Iran not "towing the line".

Like fine. Its complicated. You were the one who originally trying to make it out to be one sided. And I am saying that this is ridiculous. They fund militant groups.

> All this warmongering is unneeded.

This is about sanctions. Not a ground invasion of Iran. It is not "warmongering" to support effective economic measures in retaliation against economic funding of militant groups.
Not only that, but race conditions of this broad, "logic-related" sort are especially common in message-passing concurrency models, like the one that Go makes idiomatic. To make things worse, Go also has data races, when using plain old shared-access concurrency!

Sure, as if sucessful FP languages weren't hybrid ones with support for OOP programming as well.

Tesla will likely need to raise around $5-10B to complete all of the capital investments they need to perform over the next few years. If short sellers use negative news to bring the stock price down it raises the dilutive cost to Tesla of raising more capital.

Secondly there are people who are incredibly intelligent but just too busy living their life to do in depth research about every article they read online, especially if it's from a trusted source. These negative articles have actually prevented people from buying the car because they think the company won't be around to service them in a year or two.

Fake news and a barrage of "sponsored" negative headlines can lead to Tesla actually going bankrupt.

Agree about the regulators’ (lack of) abilities.

Catastrophe risk models, however, shouldn’t be be lumped together with the types of financial engineering/quant models used in capital markets. The latter are generally very theoretical, based on pretty shallow theory and little data. Academia has been spewing out a lot of quant finance models which have little bearing on real market dynamics.

Cat risk models, however, are generally more data-driven and rich in terms of science and engineering I.e. understanding of underlying hazard mechanisms. But, like any model, they still are only approximations of reality.

Announcing AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code
I don’t believe so, unfortunately. Regardless of what you use to trigger the Shortcut (a QR code, NFC, running it manually) the actual .shortcut file needs to be on the device so that it can actually be run. This means that you still need to find a way to import your generated .shortcut file onto your iOS device.

There is an ‘Allow Untrusted Shortcuts’ option in the Shortcuts section of the Settings app, but as far as I can tell this currently has no effect. Hopefully enabling that toggle will, in the future, allow the import of .shortcut files directly into the app.

I would agree that advertisement has done a lot of damage. However, there have been a lot of really awesome things that could not have happened without it. Like YouTubers for example, so many people are able to make a living making content they love and people love to watch. I say that as many of them are now having to turn to things like patreon because advertisement is now hurting them...
An additional problem with regulations is that the regulators are often completely blind to activity on the other side of regulatory boundaries. This was a pretty big contributor to the 2008 Financial Crisis - risky loans were sold off of the books of American banks, packaged up as AAA rated securities, and then sold to European banks which were allowed (by formula) extremely high levels of leverage for buying AAA rated debt.
Hi, do you have any servers for shadowsocks I could use?
Using an OOP language does not mean OOP programming. There is plenty of java/c++/c# code out there that use classes as glorified namespaces and stick to POCO/POJO objects. From my own experience I'd say that this describes the best and easiest to maintain code in those languages.

The hardest to maintain code is almost usually a mess of inheritance and generics/templates by someone far to "clever" that thinks OOP is the goal and not the tool. More often than not an inheritance hierarchy is basically (not literally) an abstraction over if/switch statements, except the logic will usually be spread out over multiple files and it's impossible to track all these potential branches in your head because they're purposefully obscured from you.
I feel like, while it may be useful to distinguish the terms, a data race is really just an instance of a race condition. I'd say data races are race conditions, but not all race conditions are data races.

For example, with this line:

a = a + 1;

That's really multiple operations:

1. Read a
2. Add 1 to the read a
3. Put the new value over the old a memory location.

And the data race is due to this. If this happened concurrently, for example:

1. T1 reads a which is 10
2. T2 reads a which is 10
3. T1 adds 1 to its read value 11
4. T2 adds 1 to its read value 11
5. T1 puts 11 in location a
6. T2 puts 11 in location a

And now if these had been synchronized, a would actually be 12, since you had two things increment it. But due to this data race, a is still at 11 only.

Now if you deconstruct the actual operations performed by a single line of code as I did here, you see that it is exactly similar to a race condition.
