> Not just Facebook, but any targeted advertising platform that can target based on demographic could do this.

I'd like to point out that specifically you can NOT do this on Facebook any more, or at least not if Facebook find it out. They make you mark your ads as being job posts, and remove demographic targeting from that.

The headline here is irritating, because the headline being shown is two years old. The headline should be the second half of it, which is:

"After two years the Federal Government confirms demographic advertising of jobs is illegal"
Do you believe raising children should be an act of duty and self-sacrifice?

While I would like to raise a family one day the idea of raising children with just being capable of supporting their necessities doesn't appeal to me at all.

If I can't offer them the best start in life or be the parent I wish I had (due to a lack of resources) I would rather not have children.

> Do that exact maneuver on Earth and you'd get an 'unplanned rapid disassembly' during reentry thanks to the thicker atmosphere

That is the planned Earth re-entry maneuver. Belly first almost all the way down, using the heat shield on one side, then flipping and completely re-orienting near the ground so that the vehicle is pointed upwards, and then the final burn to land upright.

But it does make sense that this path has arisen from a secondary capability: to land on planets or moons with less atmosphere. It still doesn't make me less nervous about their ability to pulli it off reliably. Here's hoping.
For the gig economy, it is not about revolutionary technology, it is more about compound network effect. Basically, is adding (1000*n)-th unit to supply side of a 2 sided market place much more valuable, than adding n-th unit? In case of Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, any delivery service it is true. Having 10 drivers in your area make an app unseable for a rider and they need to seek other way of transportation, but having 1000 can be a game changer, it can make coverage and waiting time so convenient, that riders will always be able to use the app and will never want to seek another option. This, in it's turn, will feed back into the system, as drivers will always have work when they are online. On top of that, the market place takes upon quality assurance. If you did not like the delivery, you leave a negative feedback and move on.

In case of Uber, because of improvements in cars safety, reliability and easy of use, and navigation apps, it made it possible to reach that critical mass/density of supply to have a compound effect.

Apps like Wag will never have this, because dog walking is too personal. It's like cleaning, baby sitting, hair dressing. If you find someone that you like, you tend to stick with them. So if supply in your area growth 100x times, you still gonna use the same provider, because simple 5 start reputation system maybe fine for short stays or rides, but not adequate to match your personal preferences. Grocery shopping, on the other hand, can be commoditized. If you have a list of brands/suppliers you like, you don't care at what grocery store it was bought at and who delivers them to your doorstep.

For a small part of the world's population, that's mostly true, everywhere else it is not.

Apparently they do though, many of those who demonstrate (FFF etc.) are still in school.
The horizon of our problem-solving should be based on the scope of our activities. If we are making decisions with 100 year outcomes then we should certainly be thinking about 100-year problems.
Helping someone move to help elect their party, is quite different from bribing someone to vote against their own preference, especially because ballots are secret and bribes are unenforceable.
I have never programmed Erlang but it feels like it is the currently only language that is some kind of secret weapon. It has similar aura than Lisp had before that with Erlang you can do stuff beyond "normal" languages.
Noted. Thanks for taking the time to point this out. I totally agree that to create a tool like this the content must be accurate. I tried to avoid taking content from Wikipedia as much as possible as I'm also wary of its authenticity, so I've limited Wikipedia content to fallacy summaries only—as opposed to the detailed description (the panel that appears when you select a fallacy), in which case I used IEP and The Fallacy Files[1] as the major sources. Will certainly check out SEP.

I still need to do more homework regarding your claim regarding "probabilistic" fallacies, but you are correct about "Naturalistic Fallacy" so I have removed it as an alias of "Appeal to Nature". Thanks again for taking the time to point it out.

Uh - this is the standard on iOS - after a certain amount of time or reboot or the power button x5 shortcut, iOS will demand your passcode instead of TouchID/FaceID.
Because, the complexity doesn't go away, gets dumped into developers that keep re-writing boilerplate libraries that kind of compensate for the lacking features.

It happens all the time.

Language gets introduced at the sound of simplicity trumpet, tons of boilerplate libraries eventually appear, then if the language manages to make it in the mainstream, half baked features get introduced 'cause backwards compatibility.

Communism is both the name of the ideology and of a form of society (well defined in theory), and you need to make a distinction between the two. These countries you mentioned above were (some still are) run by communists, but were never even near communism. Nor they ever claimed that they were, most of the Eastern block countries had socialism in the name in order to make the distinction clear. Socialism is considered a transition into the real communism - which is, from all that we know now, just unachievable utopia at any larger scale than a few hundreds people.

I assume you make a new mach-o file that hasn't been signed by apple and try to exec into it. If it runs, definitely jailbroken. Obviously a jailbroken phone could load a kernel module that detects this and stops it from running in this specific case, leading to a cat and mouse game between jailbreak developers and these apps. iBooks tried this once.

That's a malpractice case. The doctor gave advice that he knew was potentially fatal.
A very interesting post, since it poses one very conservative, tried and true approach to programming productively. I know a lot of programmers tend to arrive at those very same conclusions in their career. That said, I think the article and most of the commenters here don't necessarily conflict with each other; every piece of advice can apply or not, depending on the circumstances.

On a larger scale, it's remarkable that a lot of the general programming advice given today is more of a heuristic/guide than a tautology, but many people still assert that their advice is The One Right Way To Do Things. It's important to understand that the vast majority of all this advice comes from real examples of what worked and what didn't. So, perhaps the best thing one can do as a programmer, in any domain, with any technology, whether you're a great programmer or a poor programmer, is to listen to it all with zen and a grain of salt.

If a person needs a product or service, generally they can just go out and buy it. Advertising, whether or commercial or political, is really about exploiting psychological vulnerabilities in order to make people act against their own best interests. The promise of happiness if you buy this or that project, a momentary dopamine rush that serves to mask a real problem just long enough to set the mark up for their next unnecessary purchase. I wouldn’t go so far as an outright ban but I would regulate that all ads, on and offline, are pure text only, standard font, no targeting and lying in an ad to be a crime, just facts about the product only.

I consider myself to be a capitalist but this is a public health issue. Ad companies including Facebook and Google are the tobacco companies of the modern day.

> I don’t know how you conclude that Guix won over Nix

There is no contest that I am aware of. I used GuixSD vs NixOS as an example of how adapting existing standards can provide a lot more benefits with a lot less effort than coming up with incompatible new languages.

> how you conclude that the winner is superior to all other configuration languages

Here is a condensed list:

1. 60+ years of successful use of S-expressions in all of the needed roles (programming language, intermediate representation, configuration language, template language, network protocols).

2. Many proven Scheme implementations available for use in any scenario, from clusters to microcontrollers.

3. Easily amenable to formal analysis and verification. Excellent tools such as ACL2 available and in use for many decades.

> It’s especially counter-intuitive that it should be an intermediate representation—the IR should not be executable, it should only be descriptive.

S-expressions do both.

> The IaC technology shouldn’t need to interpret anything, and the language you pass into it therefore shouldn’t support evaluation/execution.

Well, if you were smart about it you wouldn’t focus on ads at all. Rather you’d figure out how to poach known talent from other companies. Easier still if you were looking for entry levels, hitting the universities directly would work given recent enrollment increases (start them out with good internships during the sophomore or junior years would be much more useful here).

I don’t see how an ad would be effective at all in this hiring climate. Yes, you might get something, but you would be unlikely to get a woman or underrepresented minority hire, even if they were specifically targeted. They have much better options than to answer these ads.
The issue is they never do.

Ahh, I see what you're saying. I think the answer to that is that I had set up my entire life around Bot Land. It was my full-time job, I had the stream for accountability, and I'd dumped my savings into the production of the game. I couldn't just walk away from that. Plus, it's been a lifetime goal of mine to make a successful game, and I'd always said that the one true way to definitively fail was to not finish Bot Land (I hadn't had such a definition of failure for other projects).

Without getting too rambly/preachy here, I'll say this: there are lots of things in my life where I think, "I'd like to do that, so I'll get to it eventually". After a long enough amount of time, you realize that "eventually" doesn't just hit you in the face—you have to carve out time for the things that you want to do. At the end of my last traditional job, I realized that my career goals weren't being met. Primarily, I wasn't learning. I talked to my wife about what I should do, and she suggested that I productize Bot Land. That's when I had to realize that the concept of "eventually" was peaking through the cracks probably trying to hit me in the face, and I had enough momentum to just go with it.

You mentioned that you're almost 30 and that things aren't getting easier. I can't say that they will get easier. What may help you take one of your many games to completion is simply scoping it down way further than you think you should. Cut out multiplayer, cut out innovative AI, cut out randomly generated dungeons, and just focus on a couple of solid aspects.

I don't know if any of that advice resonates with you, but if not, perhaps defining what barriers you feel like you've hit would help identify what patterns may be stopping you.
Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments here, especially not ones that take threads further into political or national flamewars.

One nit: This isn't a "sticky" footer, and that's a good thing. I'd just call this a "bottom footer" for lack of a better term.

Sticky is used to describe an element that starts with a non-fixed (non-overlaying) position such as position:static and switches to a fixed (overlaying) position to stay visible on screen during scrolling.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/position#st...

This is: The footer is placed at the bottom of the window or the bottom of the body, whichever is _lower_.

Sticky would be: The footer is placed at the bottom of the window or the bottom of the body, whichever is _higher_.
a) Chinese citizens are more or less free to start a company that makes and sells widget X, and freely compete with anyone and everyone else making and selling X, for almost any X. That's the free-market economy part.

b) For some values of X, or for some strategic Chinese goals related to X, the Chinese government has opinions. They may ask the company to do (or refrain from doing) certain things. When this happens, the owner of the company needs to do as they're told, or bad things will happen to them. That's the amoral state calling shots part.
