Who? Far from everybody.

> looks like the most stupid thing in the world

At the very least…

> Progress they say....

Almost nobody is for progress for the sake of progress. Rejecting a solution that tries to address a (arguably) less-than-ideal status quo as stupid is not very helpful. We could argue that the status quo is stupid too anyway. Don't you see that the solution you find stupid (which you can, of course) is an attempt to address something some people see as a problem?

At least, enlighten us with reasons why you find it stupid, it's easy to find interesting things to say on this matter.

Yikes. Yes.

Not sure if other developers agree with me on this:
I probably don't need autocompletion, I'm not writing an essay; I'm writing code where every character is a lot more impactful than forgetting a semicolon here or there. For this reason, having autocompletion could probably be an annoyance than helpful.

Why people follow law is not part of what you learn in law school. That is an anthropological phenomenon that has to do with culture, society and biology.

What you learn in law school is less fundamental and more specific to the system at hand. You learn contracts, property, criminal law, constitutional law, legal methods, civil procerude... torts...

You learn the specifics so that the system can be exploited.

If you think people who study law have some deep insight on the true nature of civilizations and the rules that humans operate under you are completely wrong.

Questions like which system is better? Communism or capitalism? Dictatorship or Democracy? Are not what you study in law school.

Remember law school is about security exploits.
Ah yes the old "the majority of people are wrong, MY ideas are correct, why doesn't the government just implement all of MY ideas as they're obviously correct" argument.
> I bet apples own security team are 100% thankful for someone uncovering this.

That’s not my point at all with my original reply. I know first hand that some Apple security members are thankful for the work of ProjectZero. But that isn’t the point I was making or you made previously, Google “not saying anything bad about Apple” is patently false.
The stakes being so high justifies good decision making, not instant compliance.

When you're arguing with those who are actively hostile towards your beliefs, you're usually only able to convince the undecided middle, who watch your argument and take sides without contributing. I don't think firing a moderator who was to all appearances LGBT-friendly and causing this level of drama has been a net reputation gain for either Stack Exchange or trans people.
There's plenty of growth to be captured, but its potential has been diverted into financialisation - which is essentially just moving money from middle and working class people to rich people - and away from physical invention and innovation.

The financial sector has eaten the last couple of generations of top mathematical talent, and there's almost nothing of lasting value to show for it.

With a more balanced economy we'd be further ahead in quantum computing, aerospace, AI, medical/bio tech, green tech, and education - all of which still have huge potential.

There's also very valid criticism that the media only started covering caging children in the last two years when it was a standard and awful practice since at least 2014.. and that story is just one of many. When you portray something as "unprecedented" when it has a long history, you're telling a story with an agenda, not reporting facts.

Since CBP is the target of these stories, it makes sense that this officer - and many other targets - consider more and more journalists as simple propagandists.

The answer is getting journalists to separate fact from fiction from conjecture and make it clear which is which.

Society as a whole benefits from that, regardless of who is President.

that's not how memory works.
I know I struggled with writing when I was in junior high and high school. Now as an adult I find it relatively easy I think. My advice to my junior high school teacher would be to talk to the student (me) about something they enjoy. Whatever that is today I have no idea. Fortnite? Boys? Girls? whatever, ask what the kid is into. Then ask questions about it. Why do they like it? What's so cool about it. What's it like to do. Etc.. After they've talked your ear off for 10 minutes tell them to just write everything they just told you.

No idea if that would work but I feel like most people have no trouble talking about things they enjoy. Could be a movie, a TV show, a sport, science, twitter, instagram, no idea. If my 8th grade teacher had not asked me to write but instead just talked with me about say D&D, something I was into, I'm sure I could have spoken 1000-5000 words on it. The same words I'd have said to another kid I wanted to introduce D&D to them. I believe that would have helped me write sooner.

I also wonder if the internet is a net plus here. People write short tweets but lots of people write long comments. This comment itself is more than I think I ever wrote on a teacher chosen topic in 8th grade.
Not quite, in ML languages, a function declared like this:

let sum a b = a + b

...has the type:

float -> float -> float

Same in Haskell.

These languages "emulate" multiple arguments through partial function application. OCaml does not use tuples for arguments.
One thing I have learned is that when it comes to mass media articles the best bet is to always do the opposite they are saying. Like "George" in Seinfeld, they are most of the time wrong, thus doing the opposite is right.

Does that actually help with pensions? If the pension fund has problems, when 1 beneficiary delaying retirement wont make a noticeable difference. You might as well just retire and take what you can get while the fund is still paying out in full.

As an aside, before making an individual decision on what to do about your pension, look into what happens if it fails. At least in the US, private pension funds are insured.
Yeah, but it's still a gamble. Unless you become a VP/Director it's tough to get to a sufficiently high level to make it worth it. It's rare, for instance, for someone from a start-up to come in as a Staff/Senior Staff engineer (L6/7).
All that shows is that dollar cost averaging has been better than the strawman he set up.
1. It might not be the case in the future.
2. There may be better strategies not explored.
3. It relies on the stability of the financial system and has extreme home country survivorship bias. Of course the richest country for the last 100 or so years is going to look like it has a stock market that can't loose.

In other words this look backward only, and beats the shit out of a lousy straw man.
Please edit your title to use the prefix "Ask HN:" when asking questions.

Reading research papers is an inherently diffucult task. The best advice I was given was to start with a topic you are interested in, then read the full paper start to finish about 10 times, lookimg up unfamiliar terms and math notations while you read. With each iteration you'll gain a better understanding of the topic.

Sometimes, something may seem missing, and that's probably because it is - either by mistake or intentionally (i.e. the authors assume the missing content is understood in the field or is explained at length in a reference). That said, you'll probably need to follow the trail of references.

If a specific subject is new to you (e.g. big data analytics), then before digging into state of the art white papers, I would first search for a text book on that subject.

While Text books generally lag the state of the art, they authors are field experts who distill several years worth of research into plain english and help you form a foundation from which you will then be able to digest state of the art white papers much more easily because you already know the sometimes unique "language" (e.g. special notations, terminology and acronyms) of the field.

For me, simply knowing that I wasn't alone when I felt lost reading white papers for the first time was helpful.

While not Arxiv, if you want to dig into some white papers, here is a good list of links to holdings of recent accepted peer-reviewed papers in the CS field:

This is getting quite ridiculous.

I don't want to know your gender. I don't care. It's your thing. It's non of my business, and it makes no difference to me whatsoever.

If I do want to know your gender, then things between us are starting to become intimate.

To sum things up: I would say it's rude if someone shares his gender identity with me without being asked. On the same level as if someone shares his/her dick size without being asked.
Because they don’t have a large local market like the US does.

The US can pay market rate or even well above it for contractors that would do the same stuff for the NSA and other organizations, Israel has a much less lucrative local defense market hence why they are focused on export.

Combine it with a mandatory service in which the Intelligence Directorate gets to pick the top of the top rather than just form those who volunteered for service and you get a large number of brilliant minds that spent 3-5 years if not more of their life doing this for little to no pay coming out to the private sectors with plenty of offers to put their talents to use.
There isn't a 4 USB-C port version of the MBP w/ function keys. If there was, I'd definitely buy it. But recently Apple even slashed those... which is somewhat disappointing since after using the touch-bar here and there on others computers somewhat regularly, I can't get myself to love it as much as having real function keys that aren't "unreliable" (or don't pop up at the right time).

As others have said, regardless of Apple dongle or not wireless interference seems to be a problem that expands the Apple domain.

If you want to hear another issue with the MBP, when charging you can sometimes feel some charge on the restpads next to the touchpad... which I've heard from electrical engineers is a really silly and trivial thing a Pro machine should probably not have.

Singular they is great when pronouns are unspecified, and also makes for a great specific pronoun :)

But the issue at hand is precisely that Monica doesn't want to use singular they, even when someone has specified that pronoun – not out of bigotry, but because it supposedly makes for ambiguous, inelegant writing. Instead she prefers alternative constructions. I think this standpoint is more stupid than actually harmful; Stack Exchange of course disagrees.

> The cost of vilifying norms we disagree with is a reduced cultural space private organisations can explore.

In case you've been living under a rock, this has already happened. Organizations are routinely boycotted, denied business, harassed out of existence and deplatformed by providers for "exploring" cultural spaces and for allowing others to do that without enforcing certain cultural norms in aggressive enough manner. It's not something theoretical, it's what has already happened many times. People fired, sites shut down, services denied, etc. And yet, the occasion where you decide to raise your voice is when somebody complains about being excluded from the community for mere discussing the rules - and falsely accused in violating those rules with no evidence whatsoever? This is where you wake up and start protesting about narrowing the exploration of cultural space - when somebody who dares to question whether it should be narrowed as harshly as it is done is immediately fired and libelously accused?

Somehow it sounds to me as if either you are not completely informed or your "let the thousands flowers bloom" sentiment is less than genuine and of more tactical nature.
I've carefully considered your post and can indeed see the merit.

You don't think it's a little bit difficult to check what someone wants to be called before posting, say, a reply?

There, I did it. I didn't check if “you” was OK with you. Shit, I did it again.

I'm joking, of course (not really, check my profile).
That is one way to fix it too, if you don't want to have to re-buy shielded cables.
Kissing in public in Poland generally doesn't risk you a punch. I don't know where you're getting that, though I understand it's a pretty common — though completely misguided — Western view. My local gay club is quite peaceful (though inside they all have a grand ol' time — it's by far one of the rowdiest gay clubs I've been to).

In Slavic countries generally, who you have sex with is your own business. It's private. Nobody wants to know.
The CPUs in phones have some sort of TIM (thermal interface material) applied to them, and are either in direct contact with the inner side of the case, or a heatpipe which dissipates the heat elsewhere, over a larger area.
This does nothing of that. It's just sitting there simmering nicely. The only reason i can think of is that they recycled most of a former model, and then shrank the cpu-board which then didn't reach unter the vent anymore.

But how did they even manage to oversee that during testing?

HOW?
It doesn't really even take 21st century hardware. I remember running TeX on a Silicon Graphics workstation back in the early 90s. The processing was so fast, I didn't realize it had happened. If you consider the hardware restrictions that TeX and MF were written under in the late 70s/early 80s, it makes the system that much more impressive. The WEB source code of these is an education in itself.
Actually, you can have multiple github pages sites: just create a new repo with a branch named gh-pages. You can then add a CNAME to that as well.

The really interesting thing about all this CoC nonsense is how it's making strange bedfellows between some on the right and the left who have a keen interest in civil liberties. I'm a lifelong social democrat and have a lot of issues with barely-regulated free markets, but holy hell am I ever sick and tired of this identity-politics BS.

I'm glad Nir Eyal is making the pivot to helping people avoid digital addiction, but it does seem pretty rich that he's pretending that addiction is a fault of end users, not companies (or consultants like him, who created/grew the field).

I would have more respect for him if he:

1: had a more apologetic tone and acknowledged his role in the creation of the field of user-addiction

2: didn't primarily blame end users

3: had released this book (or at least a summary of it) for free so that everyone who has been harmed by his prior work can learn about his defensive techniques
Uh, car loans are below 2% only for people like you and me with excellent credit scores. "The other half" can only get financing directly from shady used car lots, where good luck even getting them to tell you the interest rate (or the purchase price) -- they focus instead on the monthly payment (and try to downplay the fact that it's for 72 months).

I always disable shell completion after it burned me a few times:

1. Completion that blocks the shell, by doing a lookup across a network (e.g. to complete a remote path). Can hang for several seconds.

2. Completion that gives me a misleading/incorrect view of the filesystem, by "intelligently" filtering which files/filetypes it will let me complete. For example, if I have foo.mp3 and foo.txt, and a media-player command tab-completes and only "sees" the mp3, but I actually wanted to know that the .txt was there as well (and in some cases, open it with the media player!)

3. When the completion has a wrong view of the options provided by a program (e.g. completion is not aware of some useful options). Instead of looking at the man-page, I've been tricked by a bad completion-set.

I would love a better shell with good completion, but I need to avoid these types of problems. Does anyone else run into this?
I defaulted on my student loans a while back and royally screwed my credit. When I decided I was going to get my shit together it started with a Capital One card with a $300 limit and I’m sure a really high interest rate. But my plan was to, of course, not carry a balance, which I didn’t.

These days my credit score is ~780 and I do some casual churning for travel points.

in some cases the majority of people are wrong, and it is trivial to show why they are wrong. In case of environmental issues or degrading of the commons in general the issue is that externalities are not priced in as economists would say, and if they are tried to be priced in like in France, the democratic process or even street violence is used to prevent that from happening.

Again I think it's important to state that this isn't the case for all issues. On many fronts majority opinion may be useful, but on some issues it's glaringly obvious that people are unwilling to bear the costs for their lifestyle, and ignore the long-term harm they cause.

In fact there's another democratic majority that is completely ignored by this appeal to the people, and that is future citizens. As Chesteron once said about the dead

“Tradition means giving a vote to most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead.” Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death."

I think more importantly than the dead are the countless of people who have to live with the mess we've left for them and in which they didn't have a say.
