Without having read the article, as so often is the custom in comment sections, I am UNABLE to prevent myself from recommending the series of documentaries "Leaving home". Specially the first one. They're all on youtube.

"Home" here stands for the familiarity of classical/romantic music ("19th century" but including post-1900 stuff like Rachmaninoff and so on) but also more literally the tonic root of the harmonic system. Episode 1 is very closely about the road to serialism throughout Wagner, Debussy, etc. up until Schönberg's pre-serial and serial works. Then there are episodes about rhythm and folk influences and so on that widen the scope from just serialism.

If you have a piano or keyboard at home I also recommend trying some of these tone rows, verifying when they're "true" tone rows, etc. I sometimes try to improvise with common chord progressions with my left hand and tone rows that start (or end) related to the tonal progression to feel how they forcefully disconnect from attempts to think tonally.

Of course serialism isn't the definition of modern art music, but it's a mind expander.

I had really hoped this discussion would end with your appreciation for dragonwriter's participation in it. It is very clear he understands economics much better than you do.
It's ultimately their decision, sure, in the same way that it's ultimately up to a local business owner whether they purchase a "protection plan" from the nice salesmen with the baseball bats.

If you think the brass at MIT are in any physical danger from a bunch of angry tweeters, I don't know what to tell you.

This just seems like deflection. Conditions being worse elsewhere doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss the issues that are more local to us.

No, that's a deflection. Someone choosing to step down from their job is not an issue that can, as the parent post puts it, "destroy them at any moment without warning". Being a starving child soldier in Africa is, being locked in a cage in a foreign land is.
> Java generics is a syntax sugar.

That's not true, Java generics are not just syntactic sugar.

> They don't add anything substantial.

They add parametric polymorphism and type safety.

> You can use Object (or another bound type) everywhere you're using generic type.

Only if you go out of your way to do so, and ignore warnings. This has less to do with how generics work in Java and more to do with the fact that Object can be explicitly cast to another type and vice versa.

> You can do exactly the same thing in Golang. Just use interface{} everywhere and add few casts where needed.

No, it's completely different.
In Europe generally tipping isn't obligatory. You tip if you feel like it/feel rich/are drunk etc. In Italy they even have a per person fee included in the bill in restaurants which apparently is supposed to work as a tip.

I hate these arguments about gas money or college blabla since why would someone working in warehouses or supermarkets be in any other position. It's always bartenders and similar feeling special

The noise dampening efforts are the most interesting to me. They mentioned to fan noise as still being very noticeable with efforts to minimize the impact on those living in the surrounding areas. My question is, is that hard to mask the noise of fans?
The wisdom of attempting to diagnose someone without a formal diagnosis is an entirely different issue, and I agree it is unwise.

The original claim was that saying that someone's anti-social behaviour was due to being neurological atypical, was an insult to everyone who is neurological atypical. This is clearly nonsense.

The idea of prioritizing collective good means that it's ok to sacrifice one (or more) people if even more people will benefit from that action by a certain threshold amount.

This... isn't that. Arresting this guy won't help or save a bunch of people. The government just wants revenge for his financial crimes, and they're unethically using his kids to try to get it.
The math of leaving is the same, regardless of which parent initiates. Family income is split in half and then whichever parent gets majority custody gets additional money in the form of child support. People, men and women, get trapped in marriages. This happens because the economics of splitting one household income to pay for two households is brutal.

Minsky is accused, with no hard evidence. RMS is likely correct that Minsky did not know the girl's age or that she had been coerced. So, assuming Minsky did have sex with the girl, he had no way of knowing that what he was doing was illegal, since it was made to appear to him that this was not the case. That would make Minsky somewhat creepy for sleeping with someone so much younger than him, but not culpable morally. If Minsky didn't actually have sex with the girl, than he did nothing wrong at all.

I think this is a false equivalence. His claim is the stronger one in my opinion.
I agree that asking US intelligence agencies probably wouldn't produce anything worth reporting. I also agree that there is an asymmetry here, and that it would be very difficult to prove that he was not working for an intelligence agency.

The reporting I'd like to see would probably focus on finance and connections. How did Epstein make his money? Who were his clients? What did his business associates know about the sexual allegations? Who does Acosta claim told him? What were Epstein's internal motives?

I haven't seen any major news outlets focussing on these aspects. The simple explanation is that they fear that any explanation of Epstein other than "he's a monster" would reflect badly on them to the public. The more conspiratorial explanation is that the answers would reflect badly on people who have power over them.

But answering your questions: Yes, I probably would have seen that reporting if it existed; No, it wouldn't be convincing; I don't think the number of agencies matters, the connections he does have seem to lead to the CIA or Mossad.

I think that's blasphemy to anyone with an once of reason and compassion in this world.

It is not zealotry of some new paranoid movement that drove RMS failure. It was reason and good judgement.
But why you decided to put a line on a person? The surroundings, the social situation, the political situation, the nature, whole universe is a context of everything.
You could implement an entire corner of the language to work with special-cased / non-reified MRV, that's what Common Lisp does.

Go doesn't do that though. There is some magic for builtins (e.g. variable-arity MRV) but as usual mere mortals need not apply.

Saying that's what you would see is a bit like saying that if you push something it will keep moving forever. It's the physicist's answer, assuming ideal conditions.

In reality, the initial collapse probably won't include all the mass of the object, including any dust or gas orbiting nearby it. So your lovely "fading from sight" black hole will be there, but obscured by the raging maelstrom (always wanted to use that word) of material now circling the plug-hole around it and heated to $DEITY knows what temperature.
As opposed to the platter Bill's father used to hand things to Bill?

William Gates, III was already loaded. He took a leave of absence from Harvard to see if this software thing would work out, but his back up plan was to go back.

I don't think anyone is going to dispute that Bill Gates didn't work hard or isn't intelligent. The man was doing graduate level work as an underclassman.

But his risk for leaving Harvard and starting Microsoft was laughably low.

And I think Bill would recognize the vast amount of privilege he's benefited from in his life. I mean, that's part of what the article is about.
I don't think so. The fundamental idea behind the concept of PC remains the same, it's possible to check it by reading discussions of that time. It's just that the political movement which forces it was weaker, smaller, and less aggressive back then.

Hi OP here!

I made this tool because I always feel the pain when having to update my resume as well as my friends ones.

Since I tend to keep my Github pretty updated my idea was having a way to generate a professional looking resume getting the information from my profile (personal data, website, tags, repos, etc...) the fastest possible, without having to tinker much with the design or anything.

I haven't had the opportunity to test it with many people yet, so any feedback is more than appreciated.

Fair enough. That just makes the whole thing even worse. There's basically no hope in receiving the compensation anymore.
> For me it looks like corporate hijack of open source projects.

It's the most plausible explanation.
It is, because one is illegal, the other is not. Just like drinking with 21 and 20.99 years is not the same, because you have to draw the line somewhere and it is drawn there. In my country the age of consent is extremely low, just 14. So by applying your logic to that, 13 and 364 days would be OK too? How do you feel about that, not entirely comfortable right? Because you're used mentally to 18 years being the line, and then breaking the law "a little" seems like no big deal. Moving it down to 13 feels crazy. But all the laws are like that, some red lines that it's not OK to cross, little or not. If 18 is the legal age, you just don't mess with minors, how complicated is that really?

Yes, precisely this. It's a controversial opinion, certainly that makes a lot of people uncomfortable, but it also seems to be a considered one.

We are apparently meant to assume he is both wrong and malevolent merely for holding an opinion we find uncomfortable.

Selling sex is o.k., so what if Minsky didn't realize that she wasn't willing, how was he supposed to know. She was 17, and surrounded by money, not exactly what you consider a child sex slave chained to a bed in a developing country. Sex for money is o.k.

Community moderation is a pretty amorphous concept... not really sure how that would work out.

Reddit is a pretty good example of it both working, and very much not working.
> you’re telling me that some random person on the internet can sit there and claim, with a straight face, decades removed from the event, and completely unaware of what went down in that room, that “the most plausible scenario” is that she was willing?

No, Stallman did not say that. Selam G and the media said he said it, but he did not say it. Not in spirit, not in words.
How awesome!! You get to work for a literally super evil company, so that's something. G literally has no morals and is Big Brother from 1984. Yes, they are dubious honors, but hey you employees will go down in history as the most hated company ever. 1st place is 1st place though.
Well, that’s just the thing - the ghettos _are_ the solution. The problem was lack of affordable housing, so the government mandated affordable housing. The result was ghettos, since everybody who had nowhere else to go ended up there.

Yes, this is a common "fight" between people in Bosnia and neighboring countries:

In Bosnia, "börek" (or "burek", as is its local spelling) is only filled with meat, while the rest of the dishes fall under the broader category of "pitas" (or pies): sirnica (filled with cheese), krompiruša (filled with potatoes), zeljanica (filled with cabbage), jabukovača (filled with apples)...

In Serbia and Croatia, they're all "burek" with different stuffings, so burek with cheese, burek with potatoes, etc.

It's a weird hill to die on, but you will receive some weird looks if you request just "burek" in Serbia/Croatia/Montenegro, or "burek with cheese" within Bosnia.
It also wasn't in isolation; he made very similar remarks in 2006 on his blog that he got flak for, but people mostly brushed aside as 'oh, Stallman..'

Comments here seem to mostly equate this situation to a Cancel Culture outcry over an isolated remark. That's not what happened here. rms has had decades of inexcusable behavior for any individual, much less someone affiliated with MIT and heading something as large as FSF. He had to answer for this eventually.

I sincerely appreciate his contributions to this world. But I also sincerely feel that we can't give people free passes for their behavior (see: courtesy cards at conferences) just because they've done well in other respects. We need to end the acceptance of Brilliant Jerks.
RMS defending his friend was happening

Minsky was accused, and those are the details.

It doesn't matter if it didn't happen, RMS was defending Minsky in the situation that it did by saying the girl who was less than a quarter of his age would have appeared willing.

That gets you fired. Even if it is entirely hypothetical.
Good point. I read the entire email thread and find the consequences entirely predictable, acceptable and proportionate to his actions.
The cable is held by tension from the Moon anchor point right, so I wonder about ramming a satellite a few hundred kilometers above the endpoint. If the cable is severed in this way, will the loose end fall straight to Earth causing damage? It's not itself in GEO orbit, it's moving at Moon orbital speed and pulled by Earth gravity. So I feel it should fall pretty much straight down.

I would go with spring boot.
Sure rails is a faster start, but when it grows it becomes a mess.
Spring boot gives you the fastest start in JVM-land, and if your product is successful and you need things to scale, or features are getting complex, you still have the spring framework in the insides that you can manage. Boot is almost just defaults.

But spring boot wouldn't exist, if rails didn't change the landscape of web development.

I tried learning Go, Phoenix and jumping between what's considered cool in last few years.

And here I am, no confidence to do a basic simple app. It's been an interesting journey with no luck because of constant chasing of 'Exciting' frameworks/Tools.

>They also said others were pushed towards the far right by the amount of hate speech and fake news they read every day.

There's something wrong with mainstream reporting if mere exposure to social media turns people far right. It really strikes me that people are trapped in some pretty strong filter bubbles to the point mere exposure is enough to change political belief.

Spend a week on a far right community and you'll be shown more stats that point to a far-right conclusion than you can critically evaluate. In any internet discussion of police racism for instance FBI crime stats will be mentioned in a heartbeat but I don't think I've seen a mainstream journo bring them up once. Social media and mainstream media fundamentally follows different schemas of information simply because even bringing up certain data can cause a mainstream journo reputational damage.

This is also causing an inverse filter bubble where hateful ideas which actually have refutations don't get refuted because people refuse to discuss the ideas on principle. Much of the data cited is crap and much of the interpretations are crap but they're not meaningfully contested.
Mostly agreed. My understanding is the divvying up is not a govt entity, and the judge still has to approve the settlement, which isn’t a foregone conclusion, so it’s not entirely true that Equifax is out of the woods. Also, the reputational damage hits them even if they’re not the proximate actor here.
I was a little confused by that. My best guess is that they're hoping that they can shuffle enough people off onto credit monitoring that the hundred million people getting a nickel apiece don't demand they re-open their settlement?

That seems unlikely. Perhaps they're hoping that some of their new credit monitoring customers will like it so much that they'll pay for the service after the term expires?
Shell accounts tend to be far lighter, barring compilations.

Why would it matter if it's "tech" or not? Being "tech" somehow makes companies magically better than being "not tech"? If so, that's a bubble right there - your valuation depends on whether or not you're considered "tech", rather than what the financial performance data says.

what am I missing about their apparent lack of focus

I'd guess it is not that they don't know or they can't fix it, it is that they just don't care. Considering the resources at their disposal, they can fix this problem easily. It is probably not (yet) a problem big enough to hurt them financially, so they don't put any effort into it. Every decision is probably purely driven by financial motive.
