Is the site aimed at some profession where these words are commonly used?!

It's created by a philosophy professor and aimed at students of philosophy and other interested in argumentation, so yes. But the terms aren't all that hard to figure out.

- Argumentation, giving reasons in support of an idea or claim.

- pro and contra lists, lists of reasons for (pro) and against (contra) a claim.

- dialectical relations, the relations between the claims made in an argument. For example, how one claim supports or undermines another claim.

- premise conclusion structures, a conclusion is a statement of what is claimed to be true, and the premises are statements that support the conclusion. In arguments, these are structured (hopefully) by logical relations so that the premises have some bearing on the truth of the conclusion. The conclusion can be inferred from the premises. If the premises are true, the conclusion is true (or more likely to be true).

Here's an explanation of premise-conclusion structure by the developer [0]:

Logically an argument consists of nothing else but sentences. But these sentences play different roles in an argument. Every argument has one inferred sentence (the conclusion) and at least one sentence from which the conclusion is inferred (a premiss). This premiss-conclusion structure is visualised as a sentence list: First all premisses of the argument are listed. Each horizontal line symbolizes an inference. Under the line the conclusion is listed (sometimes there are preliminary conclusions). Under the last line stands the main conclusion of the argument.

[0]: http://www.argunet.org/2013/04/03/so-what-exactly-is-an-argu...

Argdown is a syntax for writing arguments made up of premises and conclusions in the form of pro and contra lists. It then creates a diagram of the relationships between the premises and conclusions.

There's a better explanation here: http://www.argunet.org/2018/10/26/new-beginning-introducing-...
”Any CA's added by the end user (aka person at the keyboard, or enterprise admins, etc) bypass pinning.”

But how would Chrome know if a root cert from Windows’ cert store was added by the user or not? They would all be located in the ”Trusted Root Certification Authorities” container.
Well, but C++ does take a lot of time to compile. The whole meta language implementation is relatively dumb for a lack of another word. So should every C++ product now be scraped and rewritten either in rust, ocaml, or C? Or is it upon the Developer to see these problems and find a workaround?
County lines seems more like a convenient myth.

It's much easier if people can assume it's not locals involved, but instead scary gangsters from london (code for black people?).
>The $47 billion Australian software company, which was founded in Sydney in 2002 and floated on the US stock market in 2015, says two-thirds of every performance review will now have nothing to do with job skills.

>Instead, equal weighting will be given to how each of its 3000 employees impacts others on their team, and to how they live the company values. Atlassian says the change will “more fairly measure people on how they bring their whole self to work”.

For a company that seems to be catching on to the idea that working at a company might involve being good at working as part of a time, I can't help feel describing that as "having nothing to do with job skills" is probably not the right way of looking at it.

In fact, there are some really funny points in this article that point to the bias that this is being met with

>Asked if it would be possible for someone who did well in their role to be outscored by someone who did poorly but was more likeable

For gods' sakes it is not about being likeable, it's about being able to work productively in a team environment. You aren't going to get a good review by being useless but really good at small talk in the kitcken. It's about being able to perform at the company in a way that positively impacts others whilst getting your own work done. Is is easier to work with someone if they're likeable? Probably. If someone is difficult to work with are they dislikeable? Sure. But stop talking about the side-effects and talk about the actual thing that's important - ability to add value to the company.
If its walking distance, its far enough away to be beyond the reach of most casual visits.

You're half right. It's best to consider all sides of an argument, however the people that believe that there are only two sides are generally considered idiots. The fact that there are only two major political parties is just a mathematical consequence of the election system, not a reflection of the population's actual beliefs.
that's mostly because the bar is so unbelievably low that "it works 95% of the time" is good enough to please consumers. In security or anything that requires engineering rigor where catching the exception is exactly what matters ML is virtually useless, or even worse actively harmful.
The main centres of argumentation research are in Europe (Amsterdam, Switzerland, Lisbon, and several groups in Germany and the UK) and in Canada (Univ. of Waterloo). In the US, there is a heavier focus on "critical thinking" as a pedagogical tool.

I've seen C++ based systems that regularly harbor hundreds of thousands of stacks using quite minimal heap, 2M+ stacks when things get really busy (this, on a machine with 64GB of RAM). The primitives are a few hundred lines of pretty tame C++.

As much as I like Erlang/Go/Rust/etc., it's not a requirement.

Also worth considering that in SK there are insanely high conviction rates, and probably for similar reason as in Japan (https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-20810572).
I don't understand the argument of dictating a key over the phone. If you care about that use case, you can just a well dictate the hash of an RSA public key.

Nobody knowns of the NIST curves have backdoors. Nobody know s if Dan Bernstein's curve has issues.

The advantage of RSA, is that we actually know how it works. I continue to be amazed that so many people advocate curves that we don't undertstand.

Of course, the big problem with RSA, is that is seems simple enough that people try to implement it themselves and get it wrong. With EC, you basically have to use one of the standard libraries.

That's a really interesting idea! Giving such neural networks access to more and more modalities helps in useful transfer of information across the various nodes of the network, making it capable of performing zero-shot learning on never before trained tasks. It also makes it easy to add new tasks to the AI system even when data availability is a problem.
The penis hanging method is done by hanging some weights on your penis. By this means, the tissue of the male organ is stretched out thereby making it longer and bigger. But you have to understand that it may take some weeks, months or years to see the changes. And when these changes occur, you will see that the size of your penis will greatly improve and this change will already be permanent.

So if you really would like to have a bigger penis, you will need to purchase some weight hanging supplies and perform the method right away. However, you need Red Fortera Review to be very careful when performing this penis enlargement method. Why is it so? It is due to the fact that it can cause some injuries to your penis. It is not advisable to begin with heavier weights immediately. Too much weight can cause injury to your private organ. So do not overdo it. If it is painful, stop the method right away. This is necessary to avoid damaging your penis.Remember that the choice is yours. There are different penis enlargement methods that you can utilize to solve your problem. Penis hanging is of the methods that is proven safe and effective. However, the only problem is that it takes some time to achieve desirable result.

A number of couples have successfully conceived through the help of certain supplements and extracts. Herbs can increase male fertility by providing the nutrients needed as well as the energetic properties that are sometimes lacking for healthy and plentiful sperm production. Effective as some herbs might be, remember that infertility is a complex condition that may require more than one kind of treatment or herbal remedy to resolve. If you want to try using herbs for enhanced fertility, it is beneficial to talk with a professional herbalist who can recommend a combination of herbs specific to your symptoms.Below are some herbs that may be prescribed to address problems with male fertility.

The extract of the French maritime pine tree has numerous benefits on health, but the latest research of the West Essex Center for Advanced Reproductive Technology shows that pycnogenol can also benefit male fertility. Pycnogenol contains bioflavonoids and natural antioxidants that protect sperm until they reach the egg. The October 2002 issue of the Journal of Reproductive Medicine documents a study where 19 subfertile men had improved sperm quality and function after 90 days of consuming pycnogenol. The study recommends taking 100mg - 200mg pycnogenol supplements three months before an ART cycle for best results. Pycnogenol can be found in most health food stores.

Wildcard certs are a security ops nightmare. You really don't want to throw the private key for that around to every small project, and you need some good, automated way of rolling them across multiple services. Doable, but if you can avoid this, it's a better to avoid.

>I suspect that, in 2-3 years, server-side rendering is going to be rediscovered as a cure for the plague of spaghetti frontend code,

Maybe your prediction is informed by different internet usage scenarios but for general mainstream web surfers, I can't see how the industry will migrate back to server-side rendering in 3 years.

The unavoidable technical issue is the round-trip latency of the network. The same delays from the speed-of-light will still be there in 3 years. Most of the world is accessing the web through mobile phones which has worse latency than desktops. Server-side rendering (which means painful page reloads) is user hostile on slow network connections.
Also,if one is a kind of mediocre developer but gets thrown into the team,where standards are high, the productivity of such a person would be higher than in a kingdom of spaghetti code..

How to Invest in Cryptocurrencies? A Detailed Guide and Essential Tools
In my personal opinion, the fact that in discussions about 10x engineers, many of the anecdotes and ideas try hard to discredit/disprove the concept¹ rather than presenting real-world examples of very productive engineers, indicates the fundamental will not to recognize them, simply because of pride.

So I'll give a short and sweet argument: read John Carmack's biography and code (both in detail), then feel free to argue that he's not a 1000x engineer, and/or that he's the only one in the engineering world with such capacity.

¹: I agree, though, that "10x" is a profoundly misguided label
The problem didn't seem to be that C++ was slow to compile but the manager' inability to understand that C++ was slow to compile (i'm ignoring the whole "architecture astronaut" and "untestable code" angle because it relies on the author's ability to judge that and from my experience people need a lot of time to become familiar with non-trivial C++ codebases and way more often than not they blame the codebase itself and whoever wrote it for that).

Considering the project folded it might also have been a sign of bigger issues with management there.

I suspect projects in a new language always look better for a while as there simply hasn't been the time for cruft to build up, everyone is excited about the new language and learning how best to apply the new features.

I don't expect logging.warning to change in future versions of Python (currently it substitutes extra args as % operator, so you'd have to write logging.warning('Unusual situation foo=%s, bar=%s', foo, bar)) since it would unnecessarily break too much code. But since print doesn't return any usable value, it can be easily updated to return a useful value.

I've been called a lot of things, but totalitarian? That's a new one.

My point is that free-speech advocates use opinion polls as an argument, saying that a majority supports free speech. But this argument is misguided because when you actually talk to people and make them consider the ramifications of radically free speech (e.g. "Do you support the right of other people to call for you being murdered?"), their opinions usually become much more nuanced.

Antitrust Case Against Google: Here's Where the DOJ Should Start
COST model popularized by Glen Weyl and Eric Posner would be perfect tax for these kind of assets. COST is a form of Harberger Tax that ensures that the t property is more productively utilized by the society.

This is how COST works:

1. The owner can determine what the value of the asset is. They can over or underestimate the value as much as they want.

2. The owner pays some percentage of that valuation as tax. If they value the asset very low, they pay very little taxes.

3. The catch. Anyone can buy the property at any time at the owner determined valuation. If you don't want anyone to buy your assets, you must value it more than other people and and pay taxes for the value.

EDIT:

It seems that many people think that COST type private property tax would extend to personal property or could be applied without modification to housing for poor people etc. Personal possessions are not taxed in any place of the world and tax deduction make sure that small personal properties can be owned without paying tax.

The system requires some adjustments, for example property taxation might be somewhat different. Vitalik Buterin discusses these issues in his review of the book: https://vitalik.ca/general/2018/04/20/radical_markets.html
The 10x comparison makes only sense if you compare developers on the same project. If there are colleagues that perform much better, try to learn from them

But ignoring performance completely, that is nuts. Because output and success also bring joy and enhance the atmosphere of teams.

Yes, your house may not be My Shed Plans Review rotting away at least not for now. But, how can you bear looking at yourself all dressed and dolled up when your house is as plain and boring as a shop assistant dressed in baggy clothes. Remember that people will always talk. No matter how we tell ourselves that what other people think is not important, appearances do matter. If that one prominent fact is not enough to drive you to perform home improvement now, I do not know what else.

How hard can it be to change the dull white tiles in your kitchen and bathroom to the bright or funky or dark personality that you are. After all, your home is who you are, right. You give such careful attention to your clothes and makeup. Why not try that faithful sense of duty to a home improvement project. Your home improvement project. Think about it. You will have nothing to lose here. Come on, who does not want a beautiful home. You will be a hypocrite if you say you do not. Either that, or you are just completely dull and dense.

Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to insult anyone. I'm just stating realities. The sooner we face things, the sooner we can go on with things and start our home improvement projects. Taking good care of your home is also one way of packaging yourself. An additional deck or a front porch won't be that bad either. You have always wanted fresh air, haven't you. And I bet that additional back porch will be perfect for your kid's playhouse. A few paintings in your living room is also great. Or if you are not into painting, you can always choose from tapestry to figurines to vases. It is all up to you, really.

Instead of either their old or their new approach:

1. Don't tolerate jerks regardless of their level of "brilliant". And simply not being likeable isn't enough to categorise someone as a jerk.

2. Give your employees honest reviews focusing on their actual skills, performance and impact. Don't come up with artificially soft language and treat them like children who need to tiptoed around.
Well, they might as well fire their in-house devs, outsource those jobs to some third-world developers for half the cost.

Same result: no tests, no docs, no design, no code review
And somehow, as if by magic, anyone from a working-class background will turn out to have been a "jerk", and those who went to the right schools and are friends with the right people will turn out to have been "living our values". And one more slice of that pesky social mobility will go away.

> Docker doesn't help distribute requests over IPs

That depends on your orchestration. AWS provide several tools for running Docker without having to maintain your own EC2 hosts.

> You can easily set up a launch configuration for EC2 that runs a script or program... But with a bit more work lambda will save a lot of money

You could do that via a launch configuration but that would be a pretty naff way of doing it. Baked AMI would be easier but personally I'd prefer ECS (Docker) or lambda. Cheaper, quicker to deploy, lower ramp up times.

Ultimately though, there's no wrong way to do this - just personal preference.
Why are the abstraction layers snake oil?
> Anyone can buy [it]

i think that can open up some issues with people's assets that also have sentimental value.

I think instead of "anyone", it should be just the govt. If your appraisal seems too low, then the gov't reserves the right to purchase the asset instead of charging you the owed tax.
>without needing to borrow money and become a part-time construction manager.

I doubt this makes it worth it for most Bay Area homeowners. They could take out a loan, build an ADU, and keep 100% of the rental income, paying off the loan completely in a shorter timeframe. They can hire property managers as-needed.

> Certificate Transparency would make it blatantly obvious if any existing CA were being compelled by governments to issue fraudulent certs.

CT makes such an attack obvious, but the harm can't be undone.

A case study: root certificates for the GPKI, the South Korean governmental CA primarily used for public institutions, are not included in most browsers except for maybe IE [1] but frequently trusted due to (still) prevalent uses of ActiveX controls. It is of course subject to CA/B Forum baseline requirements [2] and publishes CT records, so you may guess their "accidentally" invalid wildcard certificates [3] are quickly spotted... Heck no! It was only noticed 3 years later [4]. No one knows what happened in this period.

[1] For example, Firefox doesn't include it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1377389

[3] For example, https://crt.sh/?id=6990343 contains a public suffix `.co.kr` (comparable to `.com`). Note that the BR contains very strong requirements for such public suffixes, which the GPKI didn't follow.
