This is my #1 issue with the FSF, and a lot of these types of arguments originate with RMS himself. RMS has always put a lot of energy into trying to get people to use other words to describe common things, and the other words always spin those things in some really obvious and extreme way. Insisting that everyone say GNU/Linux is the one most people are familiar with, but other things like always referring to DRM as "Digital Restrictions Management", etc. Or heck, trying to redefine the very generic but positive word "free" to mean a whole host of very very specific and often unintuitive things.

The FSF/RMS insistence on calling things by different words seems so irrational and dishonest. Likewise with taking common words with many meanings (like "free") and claiming that word as their own, then claiming that what "free" really means in the context of software can only be expressed once you tack on several KB of legalese that tells you what you can't do with it and how you're a bad person if you do. It's like the naming of the PATRIOT Act- it had nothing to do with patriotism, but it surely changed people's perceptions of it in subtle ways. What congressman would vote against patriotism? How could anyone be opposed to freedom? It's the same BS rhetorical trick, and it makes whoever uses that trick seem less honest and more irrational (to me at least). It's still an effective propaganda technique, which is exactly why they should avoid these sorts of rhetorical tricks. I don't want to hear their propaganda, I want to hear their philosophy. Because if their philosophy is truly built on a foundation of propaganda and rhetorical tricks, then their philosophy is meaningless. I agree with much of what the FSF advocates but they've always done such a terrible job advocating for it.

We (the Middlebury Institute's CTEC) are an extremism and terrorism research lab, and so we're tracking the ways that tech is used by terrorists and extremists.

For a lot of nonstate orgs with sophisticated propaganda arms, an ideologically cohesive text generation capability would be a huge advantage in scaling up info ops. We are looking to measure whether or not GPT-2 or other neural text generators are useful for this, or if that risk is, as you say, nonsense.
Check the New York times reporting on Fred Trump and Donald Trump. It is clear to elites that just outright breaking tax law has no repercussions. More and more wealthy people are understanding this, and will not pay or will underpay taxes.

It's critical that taxes be enforced uniformly and in every case.

How do you define something 'like' calculus? How do you define 'number' system? If by number system you mean arbitrary ring and by calculus you mean the derivative for example, then yes, but it's not super interesting. For example, the structure of algebraic data types forms a ring, and you can define an operation 'like' the derivative on it. However, given that only two operations (multiplication and addition) are commonly defined here, it's not particularly involved, although the result itself is quite useful (the derivative of the algebraic form of a data type is the type of one-holed versions of that same data type).
Extends what you can do, by letting you control (limit) my usage.

So instead of "It is extra software with the only purpose to limit what I can do." we have "It is extra software with the only purpose to limit what I can do, on the bidding of someone else."

That's basically the same definition. The "someone else" part was already implied by the first half, obviously some party wants it or there would be no conflict. So we've reached a clearer and more explicit definition, but we've also shown that the original definition is not insincere at all!

I think we're in agreement... I use nutrition to mean "the calorie intake side of the equation".

I hear a lot of people use the word the same as I do. It's not that I'm arguing "100 calories of kale will effect your weight differently from 100 calories of powdered sugar" or any other fad-diet nonsense. But I would certainly argue that one of those options will lead to eating fewer calories over the course of a day.
vector::emplace() still needs to construct the object, it just happens inplace and avoids a redundant copy of an already constructed object. Same with std::move(). As such the blog post is correct.

Using POD structs which can be zero-initialized and memcpy'ed may indeed be faster, especially when these are bulk-operations.
One would think there'd be a way to combat that ala structuring, like they do with reporting cash transfers of $10k and over.

In other words, if you try to do multiple $9999.00 transfers in an attempt to "fly under the radar" - you will be caught out.
Ok Daniel, noted and thanks ;-)
As a manager part of your job is to get your workers to do tasks.

"NO" does not mean "I cannot take on that task right now"
it means "No, I will not do what you ask"

A good manager should understand their workers idiosyncrasies....but when a worker outright refuses a task, what are they supposed to do?
Maybe how slashdot used to do it (still does it? I haven't been on there for a while, but not because of moderation)...

People who had good standing would get N 'moderation points' that they could use, and you were allowed to mark N comments as being good or bad (with categories for which type of good or bad (e.g. insightful, funny, interesting, etc))

Most of the time you didn't have the option to moderate, so you can't just downvote or upvote, you have to reply.

However, I am not sure if this is actually needed... most of the comments that get downvoted SHOULD be... they dont contribute to the conversation, and replying to them just feeds the trolls.
I was using SBCL[1], not GCC nor clang. For that I found that a very short case statement with trivial expressions seems to work. e.g. in a UTF-8 decoder, masking the bits and then having a case statement rather than an if/then/else (i.e. COND in lisp) construct on them.

As another side note, for the UTF-8 decoder case, it was easy to make ASCII-only text fairly fast with the jumps (it's trivial for the branch predictor), but mixed text suffered greatly.

Ironically, I opened this in a new tab just before going on a two hour saga of fighting Chrome's autocomplete behavior and losing. That particular decision of Google's is so painful to deal with, and I'm not alone, this issue is well worth skimming through, just for fun: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=587466

It's been three years since they broke autocomplete="off", and in the meantime forms are less secure (for multi-user computers), user-friendly (e.g. when the web app provides its own autocomplete, which then gets hidden by Chrome's), and error-prone (when the same field means different things in different contexts, like when filling out a customer's address rather than your own).
Do I understand it correctly that this doesn't actually produce liquid water but only somewhat more humid air in the general area above the device? I wonder how much additional effort it takes to actually get the water into a container.
Advice and startup theory should be taken (as any advice) from anecdotal situations... In that sense, most theory will prbably not be BS...

Does it make sense to sleep with your customers if you are building a car? probably not... it may make sense if you are building something hospitality related (in case of airbnb they could have been thought of as "trying the service themselves")... Should all startup founders sleep with their customers? obviously not, but try their service? (probably!)

I think this post lacks sufficient depth to be relevant
I see this kind of story occasionally, and have to wonder what it means to "discover" something in this sense. Clearly there's some level at which informed people are surprised by a finding, so awareness of this manuscript is new. On the other hand, he basically saw a reference in a book catalogue from the 1920s, so there's some broader definition of "we" and "knew" which includes written records in which we already knew of its existence.
A more generous interpretation of the article’s claim interprets “BS” to not necessarily mean it is false. For instance, if I were to speak condescendingly on a topic I know nothing at all about, I might (unbeknownst to me) actually say some true things... but most people would consider this BS regardless (both the false and the incidentally true things).

This common-sense interpretation of BS agrees with epistemologists’ definitions of “knowledge”—they invariably define it in such a way that a belief must not only be true, but also true for the right kinds of reasons, to count as knowledge (though there is a lot of disagreement about what those right sorts of reasons are). See for instance the “justified true belief” definition and its critics: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/knowledge-analysis/

I felt it was substantive; lots of people worship the market blindly and this article is an excellent deep-dive into exactly what's wrong with that mentality. I was also drawing an analogy to the common refrain about communism, which is true in that case as well. The world's most prosperous societies know how to strike a balance.

In order to use a web browser to connect to an internet facing website? I genuinely don't understand what you think got said for this reply to make sense. It certainly doesn't seem relevant to the discussion of how IE Mode routes.

It is a public facing "internal" enterprise website. It has mixed content (Java Applets and web content). It has to target IE11 for web content due to the Java Applets. IE Mode doesn't solve this well because any device an employee can use can also access the site (it is on the internet after all).

A Citrix terminal(???) is a worse solution than just having everyone use IE11 as today.
British Telecom was spun out of the Post Office, it wasn't a formerly private business that had been taken over by the Government.
I would particularly like examples of Archs that are not 1000 reads per 1 write. A lot of business software is interaction heavy. So designing to support loads that can't be waved away with caching would be good to observe.
Measure theory also tells you that if you managed to make two solid balls of radius 1 from cutting up a single solid ball of radius 1, then some of the intermediate pieces you cut the original ball into must have been non-measurable sets. Non-measurable sets are known to behave counterintuitively, and are avoided when using measure theory (since they cannot be assigned a volume).

Is “garbage in, garbage out” so unreasonable?
> Heck, many of the Nobel prize winners were ridiculed by their colleagues as borderline wack-jobs at the time they were working on their research. Even after winning the prize, some still were with their later work (Crick's search for consciousness comes to mind, and why it would be so worthless a search does not).

Do you have any good examples of being considered wack-jobs before their winning?

> Modern C++ should provide a way to efficiently decouple the access model from the memory layout.

I try a lot to make a "array of structs" and also"structure of arrays" for my own little relational language in rust.

Is just not possible (that I know). At best, you could store as packed arrays or arrays of arrays then at runtime static dispatch them.

P.D: Or generate code for both. Anyway is not easy to build... the OPTIMAL algorithms for both cases diverge enough.
The TV show is pretty recent. Which reminds me I need to catch up on it (only watched the pilot when it aired).
I rarely buy the "deeply flawed messenger" argument. Here, he's basically criticizing short-term business thinking, which he also took advantage of as an investor. Should we therefore put him in a hippo crate?

Few people in the tech community say "This guy exploited a security bug. Therefore, we shouldn't listen to his bug reports."

In fact, you can't really understand a bug except by trying to exploit it. I suspect the same is true in business. Everyone agrees vaguely that there's some kind of short-term thinking problem in big American business. But this guy understood the problem deeply enough to exploit it, while everyone else just is just waving their hands.

I think PoC||GTFO applies to business advice too.

From http://www.leesmovieinfo.net/special/MatrixReloadedSpeech1.p...:

The Architect - It is interesting reading your reactions. Your five predecessors were by design based on a similar predication, a contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species, facilitating the function of the one. While the others experienced this in a very general way, your experience is far more specific. Vis-a-vis, love.

Images of Trinity fighting the agent from Neo's dream appear on the monitors

Neo - Trinity.

The Architect - Apropos, she entered the matrix to save your life at the cost of her own.

Neo - No!

The Architect - Which brings us at last to the moment of truth, wherein the fundamental flaw is ultimately expressed, and the anomaly revealed as both beginning, and end. There are two doors. The door to your right leads to the source, and the salvation of Zion. The door to the left leads back to the matrix, to her, and to the end of your species. As you adequately put, the problem is choice. But we already know what you're going to do, don't we? Already I can see the chain reaction, the chemical precursors that signal the onset of emotion, designed specifically to overwhelm logic, and reason. An emotion that is already blinding you from the simple, and obvious truth: she is going to die, and there is nothing that you can do to stop it.

I admit that seeing my comments get upvoted gives me a hit of dopamine, knowing that that number of people were interested in what I said.

However, I never look at my TOTAL karma, just each individual comment. I like knowing that THIS thing I said people agreed with.
Part of why I wanted to work with No Starch on TRPL was that I enjoyed several of their other books. I can’t vouch for all of them, of course, but they’re generally high quality. And they’re good to authors too; that matters to me, and not just as an author.

>I don't think there is any legal basis for video game ratings. In fact, any such law would probably be unconstitutional: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_v._Entertainment_Merchan....

I think it would definitely exist for AO games. M rated games are a bit harder to justify from a legal perspective (especially since M rated games are approved for children, at least 17 year old children). But one could still argue there is harm in video games when dealing with young kids playing age appropriate games, even if such harm currently isn't legally prevented. But But to do this would suggest banning all video game ads for any higher rated game. Definitely for M rated games, arguably for T rated games.

As a side note, there is also a big issue with games that are rated M that should really be rated AO if there was an consistency, and what it means for M rated games being approved for children, such as GTA V being M rated despite plenty of material that would be considered unfit and potentially illegal to directly provide to a 17 year old child.

> How do you reconcile the two conflicting requirements? One way is to invent crazy DRM schemes.

Another way is to not do it. The law does not require you to implement crazy DRM schemes, it requires me to not distribute copyrighted work to which I don't own the copyright.

The law doesn't force companies to implement DRM. It's a choice, and as a choice, it can be considered malicious action by customers.

Grocery stores doesn't hire large amount of security people so that every customer would have a security person assigned to them that follows them around and ensures they don't steal anything. They could do it, I don't think any law anywhere prevents them from doing that. But the first one to try it would quickly lose all its customers. If such a practice happened to get ultimately established (e.g. normalized by stores in non-commodity position), I suspect the meatspace equivalent of FSF would be ranting about it too.
That was worded a little badly. The size of the company, and the size of the tax return should impact the chance of an audit. Intentionally lying on your tax return and saving 5% is a lot different with 100 million than with 10,000. The IRS should also prioritize audits that look fraudulent.
I'm curious how people imagine this would even work in practice. Those departments share the same internal code base[1] and I would expect splitting those dependencies up would take a decade of work, especially when code is constantly changing so almost all development has to be frozen while the split is happening which essentially means those services stop making updates which means it's a dead Internet company.

I guess those of us who were bitten by ticks and have been sick ever since are just imagining our illnesses? Why is it that the medical establishment is fine with TB requiring 6 months of antibiotics, but because you can't believe that tick-borne diseases may take months to treat?

It's time for the medical field to actually consider the possibility that prolonged tick-borne illnesses might be real. Is months of antibiotics the best treatment? I don't know, but it's the only treatment option I've been given. It sure beats an army of doctors (2 PCPs, 2 neurologists, rheumatologist, immunologist, and more) trying to convince me there's absolutely nothing wrong with me. Tell my wife, kids and friends that everything's fine - I'm exhausted from the time I get up to the time I go to bed, brain fog, working memory issues, etc. The only test that came back positive was rocky mountain spotted fever (4 months ago) and I've been feeling ill for almost 3 years. But you're right chronic tick-borne illnesses don't exist.

For the record, I would likely believe it was quackery too if I wasn't living proof that it's real.

If this means that google would have to stop operating the play store and Apple would have to stop operating the App store, it would simply fragment the marketplace, and consumer risk and make it even more expensive to be an independent developer or producer.

Getting not giving? I'm pretty confused here - wouldn't most people refuse to pay and be stuck at whatever the limit was before the first payment was required?
