I feel like we might as well be honest that age has an impact on cognition. You do get slower at learning new things but valuable experience can be big, as someone said here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20609100
Oh that's some hilarious framing.
That last problem is probably more of a UI then a protocol thing. For example if someone isn't in your address book you could make the back ground red or not display the display name at all.

> Email is also decentralized, but so what?

Client implementations being possible is a huge one.

The security claims of a product like WhatsApp (in the news lately) would be far more verifiable if it weren't essentially a black box. It's also just like, basic computer hygiene and _nice_ to be able to have custom clients.

Imagine if the Gmail web interface were all you had and software like Thunderbird or Mutt was just completely impossible.

While fashionnova is booming.

To give you an idea how fast FN is, they'll sell then make a product (in that order) so fast that when the customer gets it in the mail, the paint hasn't dried yet.

Quality is not their forte.
A lot of great projects -- subways, tunnels, bridges, constitutions, the metric system, manifest destiny, the marine chronometer, GNU -- wouldn't have happened if people only cared about the next five years.
RMS knows that, and his suggestion was to have GitHub stop encouraging consideration of GPLv2 and instead promote GPLv3.
These same things were said in the civil rights movement. Parts of the company may be biased now but letting more of these groups apply has an impact. The specific interviewers you get might not share the bias and more members of the group there will contribute to the culture changing over time as people get used to it.
You're still not explaining why this allows to do things that can't be done in other languages.

Probably because that claim makes no sense.

Brutally true :)
Oh, here's a biz idea: build exploit into device, then when you've got something better/stronger/faster to sell, you leak the exploit and let the press urge people to buy your latest.

It is the case in Germany.
The opposite is true by a non trivial margin. (It doesn’t change the fact that WeChat is massive scale.)

This thinking is misguided. You can house people way more economically in high density high-rises: You take the lift to the doctor and the store and the school. Internet, water, waste and food transport costs are minimised. You do not need kilometres of asphalt to connect people, power and water distribution is way more cost effective.

I see these small families in the new developments I sometimes drive through, there is maybe a meter of sand or grey gras between each house, each house has its own roof, water heater, windows looking into the fence 1m away. All of this has to be maintained. These people would have been better of living in a apartment in a high rise.

Amazon will eat this up. They're eating up the custom apparel with the tshirt printing part.
> I guess "fast fashion" means cheap sweatshop clothes.

Anecdotal: my wife started calling it "Forever Toilet Paper" because the clothes disintegrated so quickly (as opposed to Zara and other fast fashion brands that, while fast to market, still put at least a little work into quality.)

Why oh why are people writing long copy in a gazillion tweets instead of anouncing/advertising the article there and then referring to a place more suited for that type of essay?
I think Whatsapp served "at peak" like 450 million users with only 32 engineers.
How can you get more power from an orders of magnitude less powerful beam than from an orders of magnitude more powerful beam (sunlight) over an equal surface area? And if you can’t, why do it? This blows my mind.
In my experience, the message passing architecture of the NHS system almost exclusively uses Paper.
You've misquoted me. I was talking about a large body of water that had a river leaving it, looping around and draining back into it. That's a very peculiar behavior for a river.

The Jordan river flows through the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea before proceeding on south. Nothing strange there. The situation I'm talking about would be like if a river left the Dead Sea from the south, looped around and immediately flowed back into the Dead Sea from the north.
I tend to read it as "and I don't intend to have any exceptions". More as a statement setting the limits of their claim/suggestion than "and this is not to be discussed".
Even cheaper to just get out the vote. You'd be amazed how many people don't vote because they can't get to a polling place because they don't have the time or can't get a ride.
With the statue of limitations applying to crime, the only crimes that would be dredged up are "heinous crimes" such as first-degree murder.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statute_of_limitations#Heinous...

I'm not surprised that a murderer wouldn't want that "crap dredged up", but maybe the family might feel differently?

I still don't think they should be dragnetting DNA databases for relatives, however.
How natural language processing work?- Simple guide
"vetting the most dependent upon 1,500 packages would reduce the ITP ten fold, and vetting 4,000 packages would reduce it by a factor of 25"... I wonder how accurate could be this automated package vetting?
I've never found it well argued that appeals to nature are inherently fallacious to any good philosophical or logical standard. The common advice that they are fallacious has always struck me as ideological with explanations relying on tainted examples and suggestion that a common persons idea of nature is just too unique and incomprehensible to be useful.

In our time of increasing environmental tragedy, yet with some hope springing that we shall be able to make changes en mass to redeem the future, some appeals to nature seem very valid and perhaps essential to culturally appreciating our technologically precarious situation. For instance that which is more natural is more sustainable to nature. Microplastics are less natural than sand. A possible caveat - electric cars are somewhat more sustainable than combustion. But the presence of caveats does not make the appeal a fallacy - if by fallacy we mean something with no merit for consideration.

Natural processes are studied - and need to be studied to be of use and be used sustainably. They are numerous, interconnected, complex, mature, essential to human life and all the life which humans value. The concept of biophilia itself appeals to nature.

Appeals to nature should simply not be listed as an inherently wrong pattern of thought, fair to rule out of bounds. That message is a bad, hopefully retreating ideological position.
There is actually a minimal agreed upon set of goods, espoused in the Universal declaration of human rights (or your country's equivalent).

For instance, travel services must be free from discrimination:

> Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State.

Or buying property

> Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others.

Or the issues of this thread

> Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.

Or general social servies

> Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, ...

specifically education

> Everyone has the right to education.
I recently watched a TED talk which changed my opinion of renewables from "maybe" to "no". Basically he argues that solar and wind are low density energy sources that require significant resources to capture, which all become waste after 25 years. Meanwhile we have nuclear which provides consistent base load, and for very good reasons we have gotten good at containing all the waste/pollution produced.

I'm now of the opinion we should be on a sprint towards fusion, investing heavily in other nuclear technologies, e.g. thorium, along the way.

Sorry to leave a video link, but it's what changed my mind and therefore in my opinion the best delivery of the argument I'm aware of.

At risk of appealing to authority, I think you should look into exactly who Peter Shirley is before sounding off.
As long as that audience doesn't need any UI, SQL or application architecture design related Visual Studio tooling.
very few people understand the basics and you hit right on the point it is a state management with configuration as code and others can contribute to your work and approve the changes you are going to make rather than just you go make them, you can test the configurations on test machines before throwing into real world so you are adding extra set of eyes to prevent catastrophe.
Yes, who would have guessed that you get better quality by paying almost 10 times the price. Shirts at Zara are 60$ while forever21 like 10$.

The problem with clothes manufacturing is that there's huge diminished returns - by paying 6 times more you don't get 6 times higher quality. Clothes technology is rather simple.
Most Masto/Pleroma instances are too small to be worth the trouble. I get about 1-2 spam bots signing up per week, usually deleted automatically or within 1 hour of signing up (longer if all the admins are sleeping).

Small instances that don't do anything about spam usually get defederated fairly quickly.

With the way federation works, your reach is very unpredictable and you need to attach to very large instances if you want to have any effect. And large instances have more moderators to more quickly handle them.

Per-user mastodon probably has more moderators/administrators than comparable services (twitter), so it's a bit more clean.
I got a quote recently (Bay Area, CA) that was about $15k for 7.7kw. So not too far off from your 9kw quote.
Zara, H&M, and Uniqlo are actually somewhat fashionable, at least as "value" brands. Apparently there is some effect where the top 20 remain the top 20 because they are well-known or have other competitive advantages: https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/retail/our-insights/the-...

For example https://martinroll.com/resources/articles/strategy/the-secre... lists Zara's 1-week supply chain and responsive customer service as Zara's advantages. And Uniqlo similarly has some proprietary fabric technology: https://martinroll.com/resources/articles/strategy/uniqlo-th.... Meanwhile https://martinroll.com/resources/articles/branding/forever21... lists nothing besides their knockoffs being really cheap (and the associated piracy and labor lawsuits).

I don't have time to go through all the other failing stores like American Apparel, Dressbarn, JCPenney, Gap, etc., but the story is probably similar, pointless products with no obvious differentiation. H&M is more interesting, massive chain with CEO/management trying to turn it into something more lean / innovative. It's kind of like Amazon with Whole Foods. The eventual outcome of both is uncertain but so far they're moving along.
Perhaps the title could be read as “a tool for looking up logical fallacies that can arise from relying on your intuition”.
worked with Erlang lately in a side project, I think the actor model is really cool (and the FP style), but the error messages are not helpful at all (at least for a beginner), I wonder how other people manage.
I disagree that learning any new tech is useless in general because you found two cases where it was. Any old tech was new at a point. What matter is learning new ways of thinking (paradigms?).

Then you see that syntaxes and framework API changes but it’s not a big deal because you already know what you want to do, look it up in the docs, and can pick up new languages in a few days.

For example learning high level concepts like filter-map-reduce with the appropriate data structures is relatively language agnostic, so I have the same reasoning between languages and all I see is syntax choices. It greatly improves learning speed and then I am free to choose the best tool for practical considerations for each project.
Happy people buy less stuff. Unhappy people try to consume their way out of unhappiness. Our socio-economic paradigm is centered on maximizing consumption aka economic growth.
Other commenters have said that disparate impact is enough to trigger liability, so targeting proxy characteristics would not help in that case.
What do you mean by Handle?

Steel won't melt at 300-400 Celsius but "handling" those temperatures for 10 minutes will change the properties of the material, possibly by a lot, so you don't need "melting" for structural collapse (Twin Towers style).

As the GP says, if you put cold rolled steel, which has an elastic yield strength of >1500 MPa, at 300-400 Celsius, then it is only a matter of time (30-120 min) till the elastic yield strength sinks to 500 MPa or less.

So either this is a single use device, or the steel isn't reaching temperatures over 250 Celsius, or the steel isn't cold rolled but is a low strength steel instead (although that would have other problems).
That’s not true. You can bypass that.
Erlang's advantage is being able to build a featureful, secure, scalable and performant enough communication backend in very little time and effort. This is a niche in which it can not be beaten.
This is addressed in the article:

Mark A. Cohen, the director of retail studies at Columbia Business School, said that he believed fast fashion was as popular as ever, pointing to the success of Zara, but that Forever 21 had expanded far too quickly “without regard to a reasonable outlook. It’s a self-inflicted catastrophe”
Fast fashion means three-week fashion cycles. That a fashion cycle is a single delivery, and the shop cannot order more if something is a great success.

What you say sounds wrongish... In a fast fashion shop you can try on ten things this week and ten _other_ things next week, and rate of change makes online ordering look slow.
Let me quote a friend that ranted about this very subject about a week ago:

I am of extremely average intelligence. On the absolute top of the bell curve, looking down at the rest of you. I am extremely tired of the whole attitude that _anything is possible if you just put your mind to it_. I put my mind to it. That is how I got through CS in university. I worked at least twice as hard as the people that said _just put your mind to it_ and then cruised through even the hardest course without ever studying more than an hour a day and then doing an all-nighter to get an essay in.

Working hard as hell to understand what some low-effort-high-intelligence "just put your mind to it" brat understood as soon as it left the professor's mouth is hard. It just shows me again and again that I drew the short straw in the gene lottery. I have to work a lot harder to do the same things.

Being told to just try harder by someone who's idea of intellectual work is "wherever my curiosity takes me" is really friggin taxing on my self esteem.

Now, he was drunk and angry, but there is something to it. I think both him and I agree with you on a matter of principle, but it is more to it than that.
Good point - I always turn off my devices when entering a checkpoint/border.
Android appears to be about to lose the ability to run downloaded executables (see Termux), but this also has nothing to do with the discussion.

Supremacy requires wanting to do inate over others. The right to have your nations and your interests heard, talked and satisfied is not supremacy, it's what every population can do but the white one. Also it's 2019, your device should be synced and can tell you the current year
That makes more sense!
The really cool thing is when he thinks out loud on stage. How many public speakers do that? Asked a technical question he will often think it out as he answers it (although it's usually something he's thought about before and he's mostly adapting his thinking to the question).
Since emojis, I have the feeling people are discovering what they can do with Unicode. And thus it is about time to restricting to ASCII. That gives back a bit of the IRC and Usenet feeling. Mixed with twitter's syntax (@somebody, foobar.com autolinking).
It's quite common in the Nordic countries as well.
Photovoltaic-Powered Sensors for the Internet of Things
While not agreeing, as I rather advice people to focus on T-shape knowledge and being polyglot developers instead of siloing themselves as "X Developer". there is something that kind of relates to that advice.

Focus on platform languages and be a late adopter, it saves a lot of frustration advocating stuff that eventually never takes off, or happens to die and then one is stuck doing maintenance work.
Runtime error messages or compilation error messages? I assume compilation. This is true. Compilation messages are bare bones.

But on the other hand the language compared to other modern languages is tiny and figuring out why something does not compile is a non-issue beyond an absolute beginner.
As I see it, the effect of this is twofold. While it's bad for (at least some of) the iDevice users who carry sensitive data - it might also be just the thing that makes those users buy a new device. I guess that would be a "good" security issue in Apple's book.

And no, I'm not implying that Apple has designed this security flaw in order to sell more devices.
It's a system made by Smanos, not diy, and has a central unit with battery backup, rfid tags and remote control. There are a bunch of sensors, standard stuff. The part that attracted me was the simplicity of using only text messages to control it and receive notifications.
Something I find interesting is that the tech stack is often chosen by non-engineers/founders. So languages and frameworks are marketed to business people. Freelance work is often weak on the requirements, but they have strong opinions on what language and framework to use.
Kids these days, am I right?

How do you avoid becoming like other Rediit clones like Notabug http://notabug.io/ where you get toxic posts and comments? You give people anonymous access and they show their dark sides.

This is nonsense born from classist contempt. Every day middle class people are struggling not with luxuries but with everyday essentials like housing.

The correct response to this is not antinatalism but anticapitalism: Why should we have a system that systematically subjects people to financial hardship for having children?

It's easily fixed with a sensibly-designed welfare state, but we don't have one because we'd rather be judgemental to the poor about wanting "luxuries" like a decent house to live in.
Ah, so it's mere coincidence that your rhetoric matches Nazi 'pure master race' ideology to the T. How very comforting.

Edit: You know what? This pissed me off, so I'm going to go ahead and point out that equal rights - not just on the books but in practice - is still nowhere near the status quo. If that were the case, we wouldn't have had our first black president be notable - rather we would see a list of former presidents representative of the actual population (e.g. 50% women, 12% Black, etc). We also wouldn't have racial disparities in income, housing, employment, arrest rates, nor health outcomes. We wouldn't currently have concentration camps for Latino immigrants.

You are feeling threatened because people from other races are starting to be treated as your equal. This is a problem with you, and with members of the population who refuse to see people with more melanin in their outter-most layer of skin as human beings. We are all a part of this nation, including my Arab, Muslim self, and it's about damn time that you respected that.
No, but it definitely needs a community big enough to keep it alive.
Note that rabbitmq is also written in Erlang.Furthermore, NHS is also involved in the maintenance of Riak since the collapse of Basho.
I have a question... I have an Iphone 7 Plus that I've been holding onto for awhile now that has an Icloud Lock (I bought it used and didn't set up the phone while I was there.. I know, stupid mistake) So will this exploit PERMANENTLY bypass the Icloud Lock once I install a new firmware etc. Or every time the phone shuts off / restarts I have to run the code once it gets developed in order to do this? That would really suck if that's the case.
“Cost of Living”. What I mean is that you may have to be willing to move to where the jobs are rather than expecting to find a local job if you’re chasing a big paycheck or a “hot” field.
You can find 120V LED lighting that is flicker-free, eg. anything sold under the Philips brand (in my experience).

If an entire show is created around a product it will be easy to prove it's against those hypothetical rules. I am more concerned about subtler forms, but it seems that forced paid product placement disclosures are working just fine.
I was all curious to read about monetarily poor programmers. Instead, this. I agree with part of it. The goddamned arrays really trigger my Refactoring Legacy Code PTSD though. Any time you make an array, you need to make sure that damn thing is big enough. Do you even know in advance how big that bastard needs to be? You could make it just plenty big, I suppose, like an asshole. Just allocate 10,000 4-byte blocks like that shit just grows on trees. Then change it to 15,000 the first time someone has 10,001 things and crashes your shitty shit. Also any time you look at your shit you're gonna need a goddamned shitty index. A whole 'nuther variable! Get some generics ya dufus!
