Yes but for my use case, which is better scientific communication means, PDF is not enough.

Consider for example slides for a presentation. The typical mathematician does them in TEX which outputs a PDF. Then the PDF is (sometimes) made available online. I realized that PDF slides are far inferior to HTML slides (where you can add demos and whatnot, shameless example [0]). Just put all in a github repository and anybody can take them home.

In my experience the whole thing works better with people typing. Firstly voice recognition isn’t perfect. The person has to check what they say was transcribed correctly and can’t correct it with a keyboard if they see it’s wrong the first time, they have to just try again.

Typing means people go a bit more slowly and think about what they are writing, sometimes reworking sentences to be clearer.

Also if they are typing in front of your face, the translation constantly updates based on the partial sentence they’ve typed and this can be quite revealing, which is useful if the final translation isn’t crystal clear.
I got curious about ESET which is European company, from Slovakia, where I live. It could be probably easily unicornized, however the owners aren't interested in selling or IPOing it. A non-silicon-valley way of doing business :)

Hedge Funds Short Companies They Say 'Greenwash'
Note: I don't know anything about games or livestreaming. This is a genuine question about something that confuses me.

Can someone explain why livestreamers can claim their stream as their own original content, but reuploaders can't? I mean, someone who livestreams a game is primarily showing off the artwork and level design and everything put in by the game company. There's like 90% derived content plus 10% original. A reuploader does exactly that: take 90% of their content from elsewhere (the livestreamer) and add 10% (good editing).

I understand that all this is in everybody's benefit: a game company likes livestreamers because it helps market their game, and a livestreamer likes reuploaders because it helps market their stream. So the amount of cease-and-desists going about is low. But still, why does the livestreamer get to own the content, and not the reuploader? I really don't see the difference to be frank.

You’re desperately looking for an agenda beyond “more knowledge is good”, and seemingly frustrated that you’re not finding it. Why?

Scientists don’t need to have an end goal in mind to dispel myths or discover new truths. Sometimes they do, and that’s fine, but it’s hardly a requirement. Reducing ignorance is itself A Good Thing.
Its not a technology company either though.
Goodness yes. The introduction to Lotharingia (haven't started that one yet, of course) is insanely compelling:

"In AD 843, the three surviving grandsons of the great Emperor Charlemagne met at Verdun. After years of bitter squabbles over who would inherit the family land, they finally decided to divide the territory and go their separate ways. In a moment of staggering significance, one grandson inherited what became France, another Germany and the third Lotharingia, the chunk that initially divided the other two chunks: ‘the lands of Lothar’. The dynamic between these three great zones has dictated much of our subsequent fate."

I'm Australian, though lived in the UK for a while, so I appreciate that most of the (rest of the) world has a complex, varied, mostly ugly and impenetrably complicated history that can, if you have a lifetime to consider things, explain why any particular thing is the way that it is ... but similar to your position, it's breathtaking trying to comprehend all the moving pieces over the past couple of thousand years.

> ordinary programmers working in typical office conditions never really understand the problems they're solving

Cannot agree more
I heard of R when I am fond of XLispStat. The older language is good but it is lisp. Hence, people move on to the mess. I just use R on a pragmatic manner. It is very hard if you take the language too serious. Just use it. And if you can compare a bit your result with other like old SPSS you are familiar with as the result is quite programmer dependent.

People don’t watch live streamers for the game, they watch them for the streamer. On the contrary, 90% of the value of the stream comes from the personality playing the game and 10% comes from the game itself. It is common for streamers to jump around many games because it was never about which game was being played.

A good example of this is DayZ, a game that was very buggy and had a lot of negative criticism, and yet it became very popular because streamers pushed it so hard. Even bugs and broken mechanics can be fun if you are watching streamers laugh at it

You could also consider the game to be a “set,” i.e. a digital space that the livestream is filmed within.

>Progressives tend to lean more NIMBY

Take it from a progressive: this is false.

We lean towards stability for low-income populations. An ability to live somewhere, accumulate relationships, and find a stable job, without being thrust into homelessness any moment at the will of enterprise.

Above all else, we support real public housing, maintained by democratic institutions. Our numbers are growing at record rate lately, so if you want to build density, do it like this. Our armies of enthusiasm will be right by your side.
Thank you for the link. Reading through the articles, I am not led to the conclusion that the people accused are clearly exonerated or that one smoking gun bug(s) in the accounting software caused a huge accounting error. I see a decade-long legal and political battle, in which the existence of any software bug, for example a logout bug, was used to cast doubt on the entire situation. In the end, the drawn-out case was settled.

I of course don’t know the full facts of this case at all, and I don’t doubt the software in question is shambling, but I would hesitate before lending credence to a simplified version of the story.
The equivalent of I'm guessing three years pay for a multi-year life-ruining experience that spawned mental health problems, relationship breakdowns and other long-lasting effects:

The point of me reinforcing the above isn't just the low compensation. It's that it's low compensation and avoiding the root problem. Software gets trusted more than people.

This shouldn't be allowed to happen again. Safeguards need to be in place to prevent ruining lives over software bugs. Programmers don't trust computers to be right all of the time. We suspect a bug when it isn't human incompetence... Yet rulings like this don't tend to make that angle willing to be explored by anyone.
well, there are tools for auto-generating code from schema files but no machines yet for creating whole applications. Based on my experience, I think the last frontier will be mapping the user-possibility-workflow space to action-consequence-application-state space.

A very nice overview. Now knowing all this isn't necessarily a prerequisite for getting a lot of stuff done, but I think it's very useful indeed. In my experience in the industry so far I find that most people don't know any of this and just implicitly rely on the magic going on underneath and just interact with higher level interfaces, but when things go wrong then they're stuck and rely on Google or Stack Overflow for answers, copy and pasting solutions without really knowing why it works. This is fine of course, some people might not be too interested in this aspect, and just want to solve that blocker and move on with their task, but for me it's essential.
Sam Harris is sympathetic to this view point (famous for his defence of James Damore and hosting Charles Murray on his podcast), but he also cedes that individual differences are far more important than statistical brackets. This article gives heavy weight to the idea that the brackets are useful, and doesn't really give a compelling reason why, and I think it ought to, or at least give greater weight to the value of judging people in isolation of their superficial characteristics.

May be great for you, and maybe even most people. But to me kids would take away every single thing I enjoy in my life. Everything. I have a hard time seeing them making my life better since it's be a case of tearing down every single life joy, every single part of my life, and build up a new one. A new one filled with nothing I currently value, except connection to people (which I already have).

The first paragraph of this essay doesn't convince me that this person's story applies to me, either. "I'd have been sad to think I'd never have children", he says. Nope.
> Should every object type have a specific media type

Probably not. Consider that a given object in a system might have a json representation, an xml representation, an html representation, etc. Media types are less about the in-system representation or type for a given entity, and more about how the entity is rendered. Many different in-system entities might be represented by the same media type, a single in-system entity might be rendered as several media types.

(In practice, yeah, application/json will cover you, though application/vnd.api.vN+json gives you some room to maneuver negotiate version/app specifics with various clients using Accepts headers.)

It's not the truth that there are statistical differences between population based on sex that irks me, it's that the author claims it has more value than evaluating someone as an individual, and outweighs the harms. I'm not sure why people are defending science here, because I'm not attacking it.

> Given the reality of how "focusing on differences" turns out for certain groups, it makes sense why people push for a more complete conversation than just Male != Female.

They didn't push for a more complete conversation. Allowing a thorough examination of the question means giving the sexists a chance to prove themselves correct and that would do nothing but reinforce the sexism. Better to impose a "truth" and persecute those who dare to question it.

Paul Graham wrote about this in 2004:

Feminism has nothing to do with the truth and everything to do with politics and power. They are making purposeful moves that advance the interests of women. The pursuit of truth in these matters is secondary at best. It is most likely a hindrance. What happens if they are right?

> there's a trade-off involved in latency size and server hits

I might have not conveyed the point adequately, but my point was orthogonal to networking or HTTP calls. I was referring to how resources were being needlessly nested, thus leaking direct dependencies wrt other resources. More specifically, although tickets might refer to messages, I didn't understood why nesting messages within a ticket passed off as a best practice. I mean, if ticket already provide a collection resource of message resource IDs, why is the path to message resources being defined specifically with regards to specific tickets?
In the UK at least there has been clear improvement in how mathematics is taught, you can tell from the outrage of parents who've been taught an older approach and think the newer methods are "wrong".

In particular children are being taught about basic arithmetic operations in a way that facilitates later showing them the larger picture. For example the consistent application of a "number line" and showing how operations involve counting up and down that line means later successor-of(), exponentiation, and the hyper-operators will fit nicely into the pattern rather than forcing a re-examination of what you learned earlier. Done right you can prime children to be shown Group Theory and just go "Oh, that makes sense" rather than having to re-examine what they learned already from a new perspective. Parents who've forgotten how long it took them to "just know" that 6 x 7 = 42 and don't have a strong mathematical background seem to rage at each iteration and then are further annoyed to discover that those of us who needed more mathematics later actually think these innovations are a good idea because now kids understand "why" 6 x 7 = 42 rather than just memorising it for a test...
Polar Bears, Ice Cracks, and Isolation: Scientists Drift Across the Arctic Ocean
The general rule for derivative works is that you own the changes, but you still need the original copyright holder's permission to distribute the changed version. Thus the reuploader owns the sequence of play(stream, start, end) instructions that make up the edited version, but the streamer still owns the stream itself.

So the publishers own the game, the streamer owns the performance, and the reuploader owns the edit. In theory each requires permission from the previous (including transitive relationships, so the reuploader requires permission from the publisher since the edited version still contains content from the game).

Software is now in the walls, it is the infrastructure. If we don't have an answer for how to make it safe and reliable by the time regulators ask how to fix the industry anything could happen. We have spent way too much time on the speed of release and nowhere near enough on accuracy over the past decades.
However, you can still read a novel the same after someone else makes corrections or add things, even if the new things are not good.

Software can become complete broken by a bad patch.

That is seen the best at security issues. Like someone thinks it is a good idea to add a heartbeat extension to ssl. A basically pointless extension, if you have a novel with a pointless appendix from an editor, basically no one would read the appendix and it does not matter that it is there. But with software it ruins the entire server security completely

It is better to pass on 100 good patches than risking one bad patch
