I don't consider myself that much advanced, but I think Iverson's "Notation as a Tool of Thought"[1], and Wirth's "A Plea for Lean Software"[2] make one rethink many concepts of our daily programming tasks (the 2 articles work at 2 different levels)

But really, anything you grab from any of them is awesome by default.

Unicorn Analysis: Understanding the Herd
Once your country's media companies are getting a big chunk of their revenue from another country, though, it is nearly inevitable that they will tend to produce content that is inoffensive in all of those markets. It is similar in mechanism to how a committee is not a great way to be innovative. This is a downside to a globalized media economy which I think has not been widely understood.
Nearly a billion potential customers can be worth a lot of cash, which can buy all sorts of influence in all sorts of places.

For a struggling game company, it can also mean "winning the game," as it were.

Outside of legal constraint (which is unlikely, since China is a US frenemy given the close international economic ties), it's unlikely we'll see the entertainment industry voluntarily embrace such a boycott anytime soon. Market's simply too big; too much money left on the table.

It's funny how Western companies talk about diversity, inclusion, and all of these democratic values. Then the minute a rich totalitarian regime complains, all of those concerns go out the window because $$$. Hypocrites.

I get it, if you don't cozy up to China, they'll just ban you and rip your product off. Seems like that's preferable to spinelessness.
No I believe MLM is the path towards achieving common goals of superabundance and unleashing human ability.
It's in the context of public character assassination.

The debate is to determine what is right, just, fair, and proportionate.

Fairness in justice does, in fact, depend on the character and behaviour of the assasinators and wider social group, not just the target in isolation from them.

If you want to argue against those principles, that's fine obviously, but argumentum ad hominem fallacy does not apply where the character and behaviour of the debators is properly relevant.

(Character and behaviour are also relevant to the question of estimating how much to believe, when people are acting as witnesses rather than debators.)
> not realizing there was an underground waterflow there

I'm amazed whenever I see this. (A) what makes it okay to just dump stuff in a ditch? (B) are these people really clueless that no leaching through soil occurs?
What's wrong with gods and goddesses? Those are great names, and not subject to the idiocy that a democratic naming would come up with ("Moony McMoonFace"), which future generations would just roll their eyes at, or insist on renaming. The names of gods and goddesses are timeless.
Her larger point is that there are still assumed answers to these questions anyway that physics is building on.
Blind defense of this narrow and immature notion of free speech from Blizzard would have people up on stage shouting racial slurs.

Rather, I think a consistent and humane stance on ethics and human rights abuses would help and address the real issue here.

They have the right to deny people access to their services and nothing they do is essential, but they do and will very obviously grab a lot of negative attention when they cut someone off for supporting the liberation of a group that's being brutalized by a major world power's corrupt police force.
If Kaepernick's advocacy didn't adversely affect "his treatment by the NFL" in any way "at all", then isn't it strange coincidence that the NFL went out of its way to pass a rule banning kneeling during the anthem after the controversy? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2018/05/24...

Seems strange for the NFL to risk a First Amendment controversy with that rule if the NFL were truly unperturbed by Kaepernick's advocacy.
Anyone that lives in a democratic country with legally protected civil rights.
That is literally the opposite of the truth. If you have a business in the US, you have a duty not to discriminate against protected classes that trumps free speech rights.

Under the ADA, only new businesses (post ADA) are/were required to build accessibility into their business. Older businesses were grandfathered in and didn't have to make changes to existing facilities until they renovated them. In terms of websites, this means only the oldest websites would have been grandfathered in.
Amazon Launches in Singapore
I did, but it was a bit stale a year or so ago (as in it wouldn't even work with the Unity build at the time). Which is too bad, since one of my kids is doing Unity micro-games and I would like to have alternatives...

Hmm, how does this license protect you?

> possibly due to his being terminally online

I mean, Scott is a practicing psychiatrist. Whether or not he’s online, he spends most of his time listening to people trying to justify (usually irrational, mental-illness-borne) positions, and then trying to give arguments powerful enough to actually change their minds (i.e. convince them to inculcate a sub-self who wants to change the mind of the rest of them.) Or drugs, if the sub-self who would “do the right [i.e. ego-syntonic] thing” exists but is overpowered by some other sub-self.
Hmm.. reread the full thread again. I think the mistake here is my lack of clarity about the word 'rights'.

My point was there is no such thing as an inalienable rights. 'Rights' are a negotiated social contract - so it makes no sense to say they are not negotiable!
Or maybe it's just a Japanese-internment level atrocity.
It's still genocide under the definition in the genocide convention.
ETAC is wildly biased and has lied in the past about organ harvesting with other prisoners in china.

I have no reason to believe it is true this time. I do believe the US is working hard to manufacture consent that China must be destroyed as it is a threat to the continued US hegemony.

while reading that bug, I am reminded how amazed I am that the Roundup issue tracker [1] has continued to serve Python development after all this time and through transitions in hosting and workflow. Roundup is neat, and I'm glad it exists.

No-maintenance software must live in an environment which never changes (certain microcontroller code, and kiosk-type installations fit this definition). If you are devloping software exposed to the "normal" world, then change is inevitable as the environment evolves around you. Maintenance is a part of life. The key is to minimize the cost of that maintenance through good architecture and robust error handling.
I disagree with this article. Without Billionaires, we wouldn't have the power of a computer faster than an entire desktop PC from a decade ago, at a price that almost anyone can afford, in our phones.

Sure there might be wealth inequality, but everyone's wages are increasing. Even Amazon is now paying the majority of their factory workers over $15/hour.

If we take away money from billionaires and distribute it through the government, it will be a disservice to humanity.

The government is just not nearly as efficient at creating jobs, new technology, or things like life-saving drugs.

No-Code's Achilles' Heel (Too Many Subscriptions)
South Park is in a unique situation, because they make fun of everyone, it's less toxic to brands than a show that has offeneded a specific group.
You don't. You develop it as sloppy as possible and then make yourself indispensable to your company by being the only one who can maintain the pile of junk.

Seriously speaking the following things help alot:

1.Reduce external dependencies. The less integration with 3rd party apis and services the less maintenance you will be doing.
2. Reduce external dependencies.
3. Reduce external dependencies.
4. Unit Tests
5. Integration Tests
6. End to End Tests
7. Reduce external dependencies.
Summarize from Overcomplicated Book by Samuel Arbseman
All he’s saying that the further mean and median are from each, the more importsnt it is that we think about what an average implies about the sample.
This is a really obtuse way to run a proxy server.
This one is tricky. I always thought they have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders, so they have to tread that line as well.

Does anyone know how that fits into the picture?
No stress??? That’s been my main issue with side projects. It feels stressful in the same way that work does. The stresses of piano or bike repair wear on a different part of my brain and body.
The Enlightenment-era view is opposite. According to philosophers of that era like Hobbes, everybody has natural rights. According to Locke, these rights are life (everyone is entitled to live), liberty (everyone can do what they want, unless it conflicts with #1), and property (everyone is entitled to what they create and what they own, unless it conflicts with #1 and #2). We agree to forego and suppress some of our natural rights, enjoying all of the fruits of our labor, imprisoning lawbreakers who haven't broken any of these, allowing killing of people in some circumstances, penalties for certain types of speech, etc., and allow ourselves to be governed for our mutual benefit. Those rights are constantly being re-negotiated (for example: the USA's founding documents specifically enshrine the right to own guns, but there is a national discussion about whether we should continue to have this right. Also, we have historically had freedom of speech, and that has been adjudicated not to include credible threats or speech that would directly and intentionally cause physical or financial harm, according to natural rights #1 and #3, and some would like to adjudicate that further to ban speech that would cause emotional harm) If any group of people disagrees too strongly with the status quo, civil disobedience happens. Civil disobedience is people exercising their natural rights in opposition to the state.

It's important to note that the recognition of natural rights was critical in the argument against monarchy, if this concept of natural rights is eroded or replaced in government, the concept of negotiating rights and/or civil disobedience becomes very different in philosophy, because it would mean that rights are granted by whoever's in charge of the government, rather than being an emergent property of humanity that the people agree to limit for the greater good. If you surrender the concept of natural rights, you lose all of your negotiating power, as citizens.
Comedy Partner is a subsidiary of MTV Networks, which itself is a subsidiary of Viacom, so it makes sense I guess, although I still lean towards South Park official website.
Hi, I am working on a crypto scanner app for a trader to help them scan the market for an opportunity based on technical indicators.
For example, if you wanted to find any crypto whose volume jumped up 10 times in 5 minutes or whose price crossed below SMA or both. Finding such crypto in the market filled with 2000+ crypto can be a challenge.
We are focusing on
-Users can create scans for multiple conditions and multiple time frames in a single scan.
-The user gets notified when any new crypto matching the scan is found.
-Users can set Technical indicator alert on an individual coin and get alerts.

I am working on this idea and looking for feedback on how I can improve. I appreciate it if any trader can share there pain point in discovering and tracking crypto.
Nobel is awarded “for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star”
I agree with some of the points from the article, but I also agree with the people saying to spend your free time with your family and on your hobbies.

So I have always had side projects that combine them. I'll write tools that help my family do something together. It used to be mapping tools to help us plan outdoor exploring in the mountains and deserts. Then it was conversion programs to turn photos into craft patterns. Most of those are offline now, too, I just left up a basic cross-stitch one. I turned the others off for the same reason I stopped the mapping tools -- similar tools were popping up everywhere, so I stopped putting my time into it. Now my kids are getting into writing, and I am working on a writing tool that can help them organize their thoughts... which will probably get seen and copied into more robust tools, and then I can turn it off.

These projects always go the same way -- they are something cool to help my family, they let me practice new things, I learn more, and some day people with more time surpass my idea with a real product.

I really have no problem with this cycle. It seems like everyone involved gets something out of it. And I'm way too old to play the game of every new idea having to have a goal of becoming a startup.
US workers may have to change social media use as firms adapt to China's rules
I fall into the "...conditions in the Open Source Definition..." camp. I think many "source available" projects ride on the coattails of the goodwill associated with the term "Open Source".
Excited to share our new app, BoardBoss, which brings the best features from apps to physical board games.

Our core belief is that games are way more fun to play in real life with your friends around a table than with your nose in screen. But there are trade-offs; some features currently are only available via software. Our goal is to merge the best of the digital and physical worlds.

The first game we enhance is Boggle (where you try to find words in a letter grid). The challenge with playing Boggle in real-life is that if there's a good word that nobody finds you'll never know. You're only improving your skill as quickly as the best player around the table. With BoardBoss, you scan the board at the end of the game and it shows you the words everyone missed. This is a feature common in Boggle apps that wasn't feasible when playing in real-life.

Our plans are to expand to other games soon. Last week we built the prototype for adding Chess[1] to the app and we previously launched a proof of concept that solved Sudoku puzzles[2].

Curious what other board games you play and whether you have ideas for how they could be enhanced with software features.

Ecuador declares state of emergency over protests
This comment really bothers me. The argument in the post is that a side project will fulfill you. Being told that if I really try I can fit in a few more hours of productive time and that a side project is what will fulfill me... 1) I don’t always want to be productive. 2) There are nearly as many ways to be fulfilled as there are people. So calling bs if that way isn’t a side project is immensely arrogant.
ESS defaults predated Hadley's contributions by a decade, making his seemingly unique adoption of snake case extremely unsociable. I actually use _ to <- a lot. It's enough of a pain in the ass, I basically stopped using his packages. This was annoying, but ultimately the Hadleyverse became a bridge too far for the kind of bread and butter data science I do, so it turned out to be helpful to me personally.
No, very simply they are protesting censorship, which is the opposite of what you're implying.

You are saying that boycotting is itself censorship- no, it is a tool, that can be used by many people, with many POVs, and like most tools it can be used as a weapon either in defense of liberty or against it.
China is clearly up to no good, but I can't shake the feeling that there would be something off about allowing political soapboxing in apolitical events like this. Should people have a set list of political ideas to propagate at the end of every interview? "My deck was not strong enough in the end-game. And also legalize assault rifles and support the Kurds".

I dunno.
Think bigger! One of the best episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was almost entirely silent, and yet still featured the cleverness the show is known for. Some of the most evocative scenes in recent movies are largely dialog-free, such as several scenes in Roma, or Gravity. It isn't just Cuaron, either, remember Castaway?

Imagine a movie that can be watched with no sound but still tells the whole story. Now imagine the same movie can be listened to without seeing the screen, and again, tells the whole story.

The point of "show, don't tell," is to keep lazy or beginning writers from relying too heavily on assumptions about their readers. It doesn't mean "make things explode and don't worry about the plot making sense."
Seems like all of the other pro Hearthstone players should come together and voice their support at once. It would certainly be fun to see how Blizzard reacts then – shut it all down?
Don't take any of their awards seriously.

It's become a politicized award rather than merit.

Ignore and move on.
Which era are you referring to? I remember Sinead O'Connor having her career eviscerated after she protested child abuse in the Catholic Church on SNL, so it couldn't be the 1990s. I'm assuming it's not the 2000s (Dixie Chicks, among others). So the 80s? The 70s?
Sometimes a public statement of intent is worth it.
> the thing is they do not care about free speech. All these companies care about is revenue.

Nature of a publicly traded company in a nation that deifies capitalism. Blizzard is on the S&P 500, for pete's sake.

If the CEO prioritized something other than profits, he'd be replaced by the board for breaching his obligations to the shareholders.
The guy is so obviously an attention seeker, I can't believe people take anything he says at face value.
If you prefer to take the risk, then you are free to buy an android phone. For those who don’t, they can choose an iPhone. That is the current situation, and it is good. Taking that choice away by force is not.

You are proposing to have the government start mandating software features, which is absurd given your claim not to want the government controlling your phone.

I already answered your question about your MacBook but you chose to ignore it. The answer is that they are locking down the MacBook to protect users.

As for the ‘hire a UI designer’ argument. That has been proven not to work, but again you are pretending not to see this.
To be fair, the Chinese have in fact been treated horribly many times in many places by many other countries including at least the US and Japan.
>hide behind passive speech when it's obvious to a reasonable observer

This is so overloaded with subjectivity, and it's the main problem of why regulating speech remains problematic and dangerous.

I can apply this statement to anything and validate what I claim is the baseline for objectivity.
9) The expert barely tolerates when the title 'expert' is used by everybody else to merely justify their lack of knowledge in a given area.

"I don't know nothing about databases, but X/Y can solve it because he/she is the software expert".

"I heard you are the expert in firmware, can you fix the coffee machine?"

More or less like the fact one cannot play like Mozart just because Mozart was a 'genius' (putting aside all the effort he put into it since childhood), the same applies to the 'expert'.

Edit: "The expert" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKorP55Aqvg
>language of certainty ("has moons")

I don't read it that way. This is a science topic, I think the phrase "Jupiter, which has 79" does NOT mean "no more than 79" but does mean at least 79 that we know.

I don't think it signals a lack of humility. I think it is just shorthand for "Jupiter has 79 moons, that we have verified". Since this is in the context of discovering more moons that we hadn't seen before, I don't think the extra verbiage is necessary and is implied. Of course we are in the process of discovering more moons. That's what the entire article is about.
Shackleton's Medical Kit (2012)
We're talking about an optimal security platform. Apple could very well build macOS security around sandboxd without the App Store, but chose not to.
I know it's long, protracted, painful for consumers and companies alike, but I think if we get one good thing out of our current China trade war and economic de-integration -- and this is a big thing -- it is corporate and media independence from PRC pressure.

The PRC exerts pressure on every corporate and media entity which wants access to the Chinese market, and it's amazingly subtle and effective propaganda. In movies, this means a lot of small things that the average consumer doesn't even notice anymore:

- Most blockbuster action movies have a China scene. The China scene invariably shows glistening skyscrapers, futuristic technology, and effective allies.

- You want to film in China? You don't have Chinese antagonists. Use North Koreans. Use Russians. Or some other anonymous / fake country.

Much less criticize the actual government? Hah, good joke.

Now, if average, non-Hollywood companies are self-censoring users to stay in the Chinese market, it's time to cut the umbilical cord. It's going to hurt, but at least we'll come out of it with free expression and companies who simply have to follow the rule of law. Not the rule of subtle pressure and self-censorship to help a foreign government's propaganda campaign.
