Your fallacy is assuming that if the first principle is not protection of life, it must be its opposite, extreme disregard of life. There are potentially infinite choices of first principles.

Furthermore, you present no argument for your particular first principle beyond aesthetics (aka "I prefer this one"). You build on the implicit assumption that human life is valuable (and apparently more so than other forms of life) for which you don't provide justification. Well, you do argue that it keeps people alive. But again, that's a circular argument. "My value system is the best one because it fulfills the goals of my value system."

yes I hired some guys from india off of an outsourcing site. There was a checkbox there if I required screen shot software installed on the devs machines. I did not require it, but when I got to talking with the guys, they said, "yeah we just use virtual desktops for that app so it looks like we are always working :P"
Wouldn't a enterprise developer store pricing information in a database, rather than hardcoding it, whether it is hardcoded into functional or OO software?

There were 269 cited studies, they reviewed literally all the relevant literature on glyphosate in the public domain. So your attempt to dismiss IARC's work seems to be less motivated by the evidence and likely more motivated by ideology.
Facebook Hires Susan Zook to Lobby on Libra
Me neither! Especially when it's a Like button, it's not at all clear to me what that will actually do. That post doesn't actually exist on Facebook; perhaps it's linked to from there? So it'll have me "like" some unknown Facebook post that's associated with the article I'm reading? Which Facebook page will have posted that actual post? Etc. Uncertainty about what a button will actually do is a huge deterrent for users.

Jeez, this is getting dumb fast.

So now CDNs and Cloud providers are operating politically, determing who can and cannot use their services depending on their beliefs; whats next, the ISPs?

Within like 5 years, we went from facebook being a problem because it has power to direct politics through its incredible reach and filtering algorithms.. to suddenly every tech company, through the whole stack, wants a say on the matter?

At least facebook had the “algorithms” defense, that they didn’t intentionally apply their political views into their ecosystems; this is far more direct — CEOs realizing they have a power over an infrastructure to weaponize their beliefs (generally agreeable, or not)

How did we jump from net nuetrality politics to.. this? Just the difference between monetary reasons versus political?
In economic terms, the marginal cost is low.
I would add to this that all services that handle directory and review services are pretty slimy. Google frequently asks me about my IHOP visit much more often that I ever punch IHOP into Google Maps. While I don't mind writing reviews, stuff like this really scares me.

Back in the dot com days, I worked for one of those online phone directory start ups, and those fared better only in the naivete in capturing and manipulating data.

Seems strictly worse than something like Qbserve that tracks you down to the second and doesn't need to interrupt you. Qbserve doesn't sync to the cloud which removes some privacy concern too.
But that's precisely the point of functions (not methods, not procedures).
I don't find the satirical framing particularly constructive. I feel like a lot of people are going to miss the point, and the article wastes a lot of words just keeping up the pretense.

I do wonder though, why functional programming hasn't taken off in a bigger way? Languages like F# are certainly very good, but their usage remains fairly small, what do they lack that would allow them to take off? Or is it a problem with too few programmers being trained in functional and not being comfortable with it?
If I hadn't skipped the middle part and read the ending, I might never have known. I think the author is losing a lot of readers before the satire becomes apparent.
https://workaway.info

A site that lets you find hosts who will trade room and board in exchange for two to five hours of labor per weekday. Mostly located in beautiful/wild locations around the world.

I'm currently doing three months in Europe hopping from place to place using Workaway. For instance, right now I'm at a hobby farm on top of a mountain in central italy. Super laid back. And gorgeous. Imagine the most picturesque idyllic farm you can... I'm finding that the rewards in mental health are more than sufficient to justify the astronomical opportunity cost.
Even if that scenario happens (which I would argue wouldn't happen) then American citizens would STILL be far better off. They would retain that health care coverage during periods of unemployment or while working for employers who don't offer health insurance coverage, and they would never be kicked off their insurance plan due to pre-existing conditions.
No idea what he's talking about but try out Unison! I use it to keep files on my computers synced to a central server. It works absolutely great and handles conflicts in the most sane way (imo).

The only caveat I've found so far is that you may have to increase the number of filesystem watches if your default value is too low, otherwise unison won't be able to monitor all of the files you are trying to sync.

I wonder how much of the drop is attributable to memory industry. As some headline said: boom and bust is business as usual for memory. Though I don't feel bad for them, as they have been involved in one price fixing scandal after another.
The author also states that the post is satire if you make it to the end.
>MAYBE NY, if we only include Manhattan and nothing else.

Yep, NYC is not very walkable if you leave Manhattan island. One big difference though with NYC is the naming and the political boundaries. NYC is very unique in America because it's one really big city with different "boroughs", all very different from each other. If it were any city, it wouldn't be like this: all those places would actually be separate cities, all part of the same metro area. (NYC has this too, with Jersey City, Newark, Stamford, etc. all being part of the metro area, but it's remarkable that so much of the metro area is actually one city.) Just look at LA for instance: LA itself is a pretty small part of the metro area, with many other towns and cities comprising it.
I've always wondered why people seem to think it should be "the responsibility of your employer". As someone who didn't grow up in the US, who is now a US business owner, it seems totally insane but everyone just nods..
Antitrust regulations would certainly not be achieving the goal of reducing customer harm if they were to _prevent_ Apple from delivering a better, less-slimy solution to replace Yelp.
std::thread is just fundamentally flawed. The way it encapsulates the thread itself is just one of the things. Thread CPU affinity cannot be managed. Code cannot query which thread it is running on. There are no thread ids (the handle would be a workable substitute if it were copyable). Threads cannot be killed. In other words, if you take threading seriously std::thread is useless.

I need all of these things except for killing threads. So this is not just an academic list for me.

Not really standardized, as there is a broad range of camera hardware out there.

A pipeline might look something like demosaicing -> denoising -> light/exposure adjustment -> tone mapping -> encoding

Some of these steps will likely have hardware support (e.g. demosaicing, encoding) some won't. You may carry a few frames around for denoising, e.g. You have to sync up with the display at some point. Some of the steps might change order too, depending on what you are trying to do and what hardware support you have.

I haven't looked at available hardware specs recently. You used to be able to get very basic capture cameras that offloaded nearly everything to the computer - so that would give you minimal latency on the capture side (limited by your communication channel obviously); However keeping a stable image as resolution and frame rate grow is really hard that way, eventually impossible without a realtime system. More modern cameras are going to do much of that on board.
When people first inquire about immigrating to Canada, most are not eligible. So the next step for this that I'm creating is the "pathway builder" which will allow you to have multiple assessments side-by-side, and the ability to tweak the variables and see the affect on the score and eligibility.

Thanks!
How much of those are based on erroneous correlations based on blue zone data though?

>In his book, Buettner provides a list of nine lessons, covering the lifestyle of blue zones people:[13]

>Moderate, regular physical activity.

>Life purpose.

>Stress reduction.

>Moderate caloric intake.

>Plant-based diet.

>Moderate alcohol intake, especially wine.

>Engagement in spirituality or religion.

>Engagement in family life.

>Engagement in social life.

We don't know which ones of those are real and which signify you live in a zone which has bad records for birth certificates.
How does your anecdote of dining at a hot new restaurant refute the challenges restaurants are facing with GrubHub's fees getting tacked onto typical phone-in orders?
No it definitely was not a sharing ministry. Those are not real insurance companies. This was an effort to start a real insurance company with rates that reflected a careful study of how much money is really needed to protect its population.
Never made it that far. It was obvious from the excessively verbose code.
Since I’m not a fan of people downvoting myself without an explanation here’s the explanation of why I did it.

You should avoid making statements such as “while the right maybe be more likely to resort to guns” without offering any sort of data to back that up.

Statements like this offer such information as a premise and lead the conversation towards the wrong direction because they have no base in reality.
Do you actually believe that the Soviets used Finnish airplanes as target practice?
All humans sweat, also that smell could be from not washing his clothes properly.

Underarm BO is a totally separate thing, and he's right that most all koreans and east asians don't need to worry about the bacteria that causes that particular smell.

If you go to korea, you'd have a hard time even finding a place that sells deodorant.

So your old coworker is either in a very small minority group, or just had other hygiene problems that are not specifically underarm BO.
That assumes a value judgment about what is a “well designed city.” Sprawling car dependent cities offend my personal aesthetic sensibilities, but there is a reason that the biggest internal migration trend in the US is away from cities like New York and to cities like Houston and Phoenix. Being able to easily drive everywhere can be very convenient.
There are plenty of contexts where "attack" means the same as intrude and invade. If a country attacks their neighbour across a border, or an hacker attacks a computer system, or, as in the one I used earlier, a person trying to gain physical entry to a place they're locked out of. They are attacking the building. Homeless people sleeping outside it aren't doing that.
>If I run a company, it is my right not to make business with radical hate groups and terrorists. They will be someone else's problem then.

This type of thing is possibly one of the hardest ethical issues to tackle. On the one hand, I don't support racists and fascists at all. But on the other hand, I recognize the potential damage in carving out these exceptions in free speech. As social mores change, the ideas of "acceptable" free speech may change, and we need to be cognizant of the ways that these exceptions could be abused long term. Otherwise, we're just setting up future generations for a collapse of the concept of freedom of speech.

I think the answer to solving hate and bigotry goes much, much deeper than preventing people from speaking their hateful and bigoted views. All that's going to do is sweep the problem under the rug, and eventually that problem will come back out some orders of magnitude worse. Perhaps we could do things like make it illegal to teach kids hate and bigotry? But then you've got the entirety of America mad at you because you're "telling people how to raise their kids". Mere advocacy against bullying and hate doesn't really seem to be working.

I think we'll see better gains in this area when we stop trying to find the first thing we can to "blame" these mass shooting on, and arguing endlessly about what that cause is (guns, video games, unrestricted freedom of speech, etc). We need to dig deep. I think if we understood more on the topic of mental health, we'd have a better chance at understanding these situations.

Either it's not clear, or you're implying that multiple commenters here are in some way incompetent.
Are they though? Isn't 'a' an indeterminate article and 'my' a pronoun?

I get the point of the example, but it seems different at the grammatical level too.

Subject/object should be at a different level above grammar.
Indeed that’s really a problem and there is even more to it. But perhaps building a wall or letting them to die is not a good solution for it.
This all looks and sounds really great but I have one big question. If this requires a proof of work chain, why not just build it on top of Bitcoin?

Then you wouldn't have to convince people to spin up a new node for a separate chain. This seems like an obvious choice to take advantage of Bitcoin's network effects and inherent chain security.

You could even lock up some bitcoin and issue bitcoin-backed Handshake tokens and continue operations as normal.
It seems so!

This was the article I originally mentioned
On Windows I could consistently open a 32GB matrix in Matlab with 16GB of RAM on my laptop and perform operations on the matrix. The disk would spin, and it would take 20 minutes to do a simple operation because of the swapping, but I could open it, perform the operation, save, and exit successfully. I could easily background Matlab and do email or other common tasks such as browsing with very little impact to those applications. On Linux Mint that same task locks the mouse and brings the system to its knees, I can't even kill Matlab and would typically resort to a hard reboot. I learned quickly that I can't do the same things on Linux Mint that I used to do pretty easily on Windows.
Any recommendation for books to read?
Right away, the fact that it requires downloading and installing an app (which you then have to log in to) leaves it pretty far behind in the "better user experience" race vs a mobile website that just works. It's hard to catch up from that deficit.

I don't bother with the Yelp app anymore because I'm sick and tired of having to re-download and re-log in to every app (which can be painful since I don't reuse passwords) every time I wipe the OS or get a new phone. Unless it's an app that doesn't need login, or that I use very frequently, it's just not worth it. I don't use Yelp often enough to justify it.

And the Google Maps app has fine reviews with less taint of corporate meddling anyway.
Excuse my pessimism in this sea of optimism, but I see a .sketch-> vue.js converter which has proprietary elements of DL which later on gets checked with manual work anyway.

Where's the building of websites? What's the difference between this solution and something which simply converts .sketch into html with far simpler methods?
You underestimate the willpower of the other many.
Just to be clear, by Windows git I meant `Windows.git`, the git repository for Windows itself which no one in the world has yet admitted to having a larger git repository. The repository that Microsoft built tools like GitVFS for to virtualize dealing with the git object database and even the full worktree to manage working with that repository.

Local file system operations don't sound like they are the bottleneck there. (Also, Windows FS operations aren't "extremely slow" in general, they just have very different transactional model than Linux FS operations, which was the problem with WSL1 file operations trying to use the Windows FS to pretend to be the Linux FS, layering different transactional models on top of each other in a complex stack. Which is why WS2 is taking the VHD approach.)
Definitely nice for SFF... but I don't think that higher performing devices will be able to dissipate enough heat from the lid alone. Most PCIe gen 4 SSDs have relatively large heat spreaders because of the load.

Similarly, I keep thinking it would be cool to have a GPU socket format that could sit adjacent to the CPU so that a large heat pipe / cooler could be attached to both.

One of the best things are the comments.
Can a high availability setup exist without sucking up resources?
> You can use "comments>N" to get threads that had at least N comments, and similarly "points>N".

This is super useful. Thanks!
This is one of the reasons I tend to prefer comments over external documentation whenever possible. No, there's no magic force keeping comments in sync with the code they document changes, but you at least have a fighting chance. Programmers have enough state to juggle in their head as it is without expecting them to even necessarily know what all the external documentation it is they should update. Heck, even with comments it can be bad enough knowing whether some change to this module necessitates changes to comments in other modules in the code that you may have just looked at.

It isn't always possible. Very high-level architecture may belong in a format where diagrams are more available, and the high-level design justification for the project itself doesn't have a great place in the code.
You don't do the mining, you pay a small fee to have others do the mining. By small I mean it costs me about $0.004 USD worth of eth to update my ENS domains.

A pretty small price to pay for the superior features.

For private info perhaps DNS will continue to work just fine for companies. Theoretically you can also host private block-chains and use that if you really wanted to.

I replied to this in a similar comment above, I disagree that this analysis is very detailed, or at least that it's more detailed than the evidence in favor of Jeanne being who she claims to be.

I looked at the picture comparisons, it's not like they had 20Megapixel HDR cameras back then, the quality is not great. Besides only a handful of pictures exist, with a lot of variations in lighting and exposition. It's possible that it's true, but it's not exactly overwhelming evidence in my opinion.

>And finally it's just plain weird that her son-in-law (i.e., her daughter's husband) moved in with her after her daughter's supposed death and lived with her in a common-law relationship for decades.

Wikipedia says: "By the 1954 census, she was still registered in the same apartment, together with her son-in-law, retired Colonel Billot, Yvonne's widower; the census documents list Jeanne as "mother" in 1954 and "widow" in 1962. Frédéric Billot lived next door with his wife Renée."

Doesn't make it sound quite as weird as you make it out to be.
That was not what they were talking about though. It was "THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO DECIDE IF YOU LIVE OR DIE BASED ON YOUR USEFULNESS" type of Death Panel.
