I totally accept that it wasn't your intent. But effects matter more than intent in cases like this, and these effects were predictable.

Your comment wasn't first-order flamebait, but it was a classic generic ideological tangent. Those two things are related, since generic ideological tangents mostly lead to flamewars. That's why they're included in that guideline.

In this case you picked a particularly weak point from the article, on a generic ideological issue, that was entirely tangential to the main topic (which is where all the specific information that could support non-generic discussion was), and posted a comment dismissing it, leading with a swipe ("I mean, yeah?"). That pretty much guarantees what we ended up with.

There's another guideline that's relevant here: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize." There are two ways in which your comment arguably broke that rule. First, picking a weak and tangential point from the article to criticize is more marginal nitpicking than solid discussion. The "strongest plausible" rule applies at the article level as well.

But also: if I read the entire quote that you were objecting to, it's clear that that person's main point was that the private sector can't solve all the problems that come up for reintegrating former prisoners. In other words, the quote's point is exactly the same as yours. If you had adopted the strongest plausible interpretation, the "blaming Slack and co" provocation would have dropped out and there would have been nothing to complain about.

I hope it doesn't feel like I'm picking on you personally. These issues are common, which is why I post about them at length. The hope is to get the community to understand the patterns, so we can have more curious conversation and less bilious repetition.
All the people replying to you seem to be under the assumption that speed limits generally reflect the speeds most people find reasonable to drive in clear conditions. This is a very naive assumption to put it mildly.

That said, as someone who drives vehicles that don't exactly project an image of wealth I'd be perfectly happy with a scaled fine system since rather than getting singled out a fishing stop as a result of going 5-over in a shit car I would be more likely to be ignored in favor of someone who appears more likely to pay a larger fine.
I don’t think OP means throttling. AVX frequency scaling imposes different base and turbo in different types of scenarios.
Absolutely horrific. What country/language?
My job is pretty much only writing R code and managing R models running in production. I still don't understand what your product offers that I don't already have, or how it achieves what it claims to achieve. Copying and pasting the sales pitch from your website didn't clear things up for me.
I personally think that BASIC is an excellent first language, but people really should learn several different languages and be exposed to different programming ideas and styles. In addition to the Python and C++ you mentioned, people should consider Forth, Smalltalk, JavaScript, etc.
"22 too long"

I really tried to summarize with the available title length. And to be honest, laws like this tend to be passed in Germany.

Sorry if you disagree. Please provide a better title. Honestly, I couldn't come up with one.
some people will despise me for saying this but if you will consider what I'm saying it is worth it. there is a strong link between autism and transgender. transgender people actively recruit children and popular culture today is trying to make being trans cool but it is not. I would shield autistic kids from forums like reddit where trans recruit. your kid will have a good happy life if you can shield it from trans people.
No offense but think about the other side. I'm very lightly kidding here, I remember making a female account on a website to assist some girl (say an ancestor of tinder) and remember being washed by a torrent of messages from guys. It was a shock, I never ever imagined it was possible to get so much "attention" in so few. I understood a thing or two about girl's life all of a sudden. I also realized how our world were different, because at that time, on a myspace like website, I honestly wrote hundreds of long and fun message to women and maybe got 3 answers total. Men are frustrated, women are harassed. It's an absurd situation in a way.

ps: my story is very slightly related to the thread and your example as I was not a minor nor made a minor female profile. Strangers annoying young girls should be stopped immediately.
This is the draft in question: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gV4FIr6cNu2s1W37vd7NJZC4HNc...

Translated to English: https://www.scribd.com/document/439773952/BMJV-GE-Bekampfung...

One of the notable proposed changes is that providers are required to notify federal law enforcement about content that they removed from their platform and which the provider determined to likely violate German laws, including the content and the user's IP address and [source] port number. The intention is to prosecute these cases. There is a provision that requires the user to be notified about this, except if law enforcement specifically requests not to notify the user.

The changes to §15a are very broad and allows a variety of government institutions to request not just customer contract data ("Bestandsdaten", which would be regulated by §14), but also "Nutzungsdaten", i.e. user IDs, IP addresses, logs or similar usage data, even for misdemeanor-level offences. It's a bit of a hyperbole, but to my understanding, this would, in theory, include parking violations and littering, which feels wrong.

Requesting such data was, to my understanding, regulated only superfically by the TMG in §15 (5) with unclear scope. Previous court cases established that this would include IP address data (LG Frankfurt/Main, 2-03 O 174/18). The new paragraph expands on this by explicitly allowing requests to be made using just an IP address (rather than a user identifier), by clarifying the scope to include all usage data, and requiring security measures to be taken to ensure that the data is transmitted securely.

The draft document only mentions about passwords in the comments (page 29), not the actual proposed changes to the law, which only mentions "data which can be used to access storage media on a device".

This is an oddly specific provision that likely targets full disk encryption schemes that have a server-side key backup (i.e. Windows Bitlocker). This was copy-pasted from the existing §113 TKG, which regulates ISPs, and calling these "passwords" is a very unfortunate choice of words by the authors of this draft document.

Disclaimer: Not a lawyer, but I dealt with law enforcement requests in Germany in a past job.
As someone who's two new arrivals recently turned two; it's by far the hardest thing I've done. I envy those who have one at a time. Having a startup fail around me was a piece of cake. Singlehandedly building a house (not commissioning a house) was peanuts. Building and shipping products now used by the billions was far less stressful than keeping two little rascals alive.

But I'm managing and I'm sure you will too. Clichés exist for a reason: as it turns out; I wouldn't trade it for anything.
> If you believe that Assange is a Russian agent, then sure, maybe it's not slam dunk

He had a TV show on the Russian state propaganda network where he tore into Hillary Clinton all day. How much more gift-wrapped would you like his intentions to be?

> this unfortunate DNC staffer was gunned down under suspicious circumstances

Not only bullshit, but harmful, debunked bullshit. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/were-seth-richs-pare...

> I'd say the publisher explicitly naming the deceased in the context of a potential source counts as some evidence, at least.

See, no it doesn't. It proves absolutely nothing. They can claim whatever they want as a way of distracting from their partnership with the GRU. And they know people like you will accept it as long as it fits their narrative. No evidence needed, hardly any effort either. Just mention his name on Fox News and run with it.

I don't care if you can code, only people lacking in critical thought capacity (being diplomatic) believe conspiracy theories with no proof other than it fits their worldview.
>Then having one or two should be seen as a huge failure, when you could have dozens.

Lol.
Neither is fair.

$4k for 10-over is the kind of fine you'd expect in a draconian dystopia that cuts off people's hands for theft.
> I think men have no idea that girls and women experience this.

This is generally true in both directions. While I have never experienced sexual harassment, I do experience nothing. As in, no woman (online) initiates contact with me. Every woman apparently initiating contact is a scammer and likely not actually a woman.
In the article, I listed a rope, gap buffer, and piece table as potential solutions instead of "just an array".
I'd strongly recommend using a gap buffer for storing the text in while it's being edited, and within reason I wouldn't worry too much about runtime performance, as any reasonable solution should be able to keep up with a user typing.
Holy crap, that was much worse than I expected seeing the title.

Ok, so suddenly I want to say we should have no internet social media for kids. Also, internet drivers license so we can trace all these men and go arrest them and put them on a list.

A teen boy in my family had some adult man in another state sending him presents and inviting him to come visit. The mother thought it was not a problem. The father was pretty sure it was bad. I eventually convinced both of them they needed to shut this down and make sure the boy understood he was being groomed. So I know this happens. But it wasn't anything near as bad as the article describes what happens to girls.
This. Just implementing a persistent key value store with b-trees is a great jumping off point

This is a rabbit hole that goes as deep as you want it, which has both positives and negatives of course
For me, it's hard to learn by making useless things. Without any impact for users, I have no motivation to make correct design decisions.
If you ever wondered how the tech interview process got to where it is, here is live example (of one possible explanation) - look at the comments, gleefully adding more and more stuff.

So.

1. “Every programmer” is a matter of speaking. Obviously not every programer should try any of. Author I believe knows that.

2. If you are not a programmer you don’t add to the list. Period. You wouldn’t be adding to the list of “drills any dentist should try”, right? So why here?

3. If you are a programmer, and have not tried all of the above why are you adding more? Yah, I know, you once did a challenging project that is not on the list. So did I. “Doesn’t make me Madonna, never will”.

Now what if you are a programmer and you’ve done all on the list, with or without substitution (like Snake might be equal Space Invaders)?

In which case you’d have at least 6 repos to share with the world, and if you can implement Tic-tac-toe live, you might get to the next round of interviews.
93% is what I got in my own experiments with an used cell I bought that was made in 2008. My cell is a slight materials variant of the NASA BSC cell which was also tested at 93% efficiency.

https://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=20090013708

Here is a commercially available cell stack that is getting 88% efficiency, despite being a reversible cell (ie not optimized for electrolysis).

http://www.helmeth.eu/index.php/technologies/high-temperatur...

This research system has already demonstrated 75% efficiency round-trip. That is electricity-to-hydrogen-to-electricity. 97% efficient in electrolysis alone.

> It’s one of the most complex system one can develop

The same could probably be said about the internal combustion engine, but it might soon be replaced by electric batteries, which provide a much more elegant solution.

I believe that "unbundled" databases, such as Crux[1], can become the electric batteries of the database world by making a lot of the current complexity irrelevant.

I've been working on the Oculus Quest (which has the same resolution as the Index) and it's the lowest resolution I find functional. In my case, it's just barely good enough to use for long periods of time, without absolutely killing my eyes. Pretty excited to see what the next generation looks like.
Good info. I wonder if the feeling of “nails on a blackboard” will go away whenever I read it now that I know.
Remember, complicated ambiguities are different from complicated structures.

The Ruby programming language is a poster-child for potential ambiguities that seem simple - allowing conditional before and after for example. Essentially, all the programming languages that are "human like" wind-up like this, with the sort of ambiguities that people are comfortable with in natural language. This has a cost in terms of exact expression but a lot of users think of this as being "easy on them".

Oppositely, languages without grammatical ambiguities often seem irritatingly verbose to use - new users dislike lisp's parenthesis proliferation and personally find Scala irritatingly verbose.

The complexity of compiler-writing approaches as limiting factor to language complexity probably depending what someone is familar with. Some people can spit out annotated YACC grammar pretty easily whereas my head swimming looking at the stuff. I can produce a recursive descent parser from a grammar pretty easily however.
Take a video of it happening and take it to the Apple store?
Normal type inference deduces the type from the code, Idris can infer the implementation from the type if the type is specific enough. In a way, this is Church in action: the type is a theorem, and the compiler is a proof assistant that helps to automatically find a proof (a correct program having that type).

So Idris is an argument supporting your position: if it works (it is still part of a research program), the types are the primary expression, and the code is secondary.
It's just random small talk. It's the equivalent of talking about goofy stuff you run across at work. Or that you really like programming language X for <these subjective reasons>. A lot of people use sports for this too.

A good portion of the discussions on even this website are on the level of "I painted my car red last weekend". The articles are oftentimes better than this, but not always. Any fashionable piece of tech tends to have articles devoid of intellectual effort. E.g. back when NoSQL first came around, or just about any article about microservices.
>his is such a colossally bad take. Tickets have the distinct purpose of disincentivizing dangerous driving.

Tickets are never treated as a revenue stream by state and local governments. /s
Yes, recidivism rates are very high indeed. And I am proof of it, having done time in two countries (US and Mexico) and two states (Arizona and California) for a total of 19 years of my life. But just as I am a statistical number of those that return to prison, I am a statistical number for those that get out and stay out. I have been working as a software developer for the last 20 years and make a comfortable living from the career I chose. But my story would have been very different if I had never been given a chance to work and prove my worth. Thankfully, someone was willing to take a chance by hiring me. I’ve been free for the last 22 years, married for the last 20, father of a beautiful daughter, and grandfather to an adorable girl.
Which is funny because the average neighborhood is safer than ever before. What has gone way down is our tolerance for accidents (which I guess is a good thing, but certainly has its tradeoffs).
But that's massively better than just an array. It changes the time complexity from O(char_inserts x file_len) to O(cursur_move x file_len), which is likely a couple orders of magnitude better.
What do you think luck is?
> When I go to visit family and family friends outside the US...

I was raised outside the US, and this has been my experience as well. My friends/family outside the US with kids do talk about them sometimes, but it's usually blended with other anecdotes, like "We were going on a trip to this place, and Timmy was well behaved for a change (eyeroll)".

In the US these conversations tend to be more along the lines of "Timmy had underwater basket weaving practice, so we had to drive 5 hours to take him, and he threw in the car on the way there and back. Did I mention he's getting really good with those baskets?"

Agree with CalRobert that this could very well be because of stingy PTO and parental leave policies in the US which seem to have been designed with hard-driving male car salesmen in the 1960s as the target group.
Copying others is a tried and true way of increasing your abilities. Painters don't just start out as masters, they often spend years copying other styles until they find what like themselves. There's only so much the human mind will come up with on its own, being presented with new problems in new domains, and how other people addressed them is one way of increasing ability.

Take the master of any domain, and their past is likely littered with experiments and copies of things that already exist, either because they thought they could do it better or because they wanted to understand that topic better.
If you want to verify their claims, then perhaps you could contact the company and ask for the court cases they have been involved in. Those will be public records.
That's kinda how my parents managed me as well, and it definitely paid off for everyone involved. Holding the flashlight for dad at 5 years old turned into helping build the car port by 10.

My parents got free labor they would have otherwise needed a pricey contractor for, and I got practical skills that have helped me to this day.
It's fun trying to recreate GNU coreutils. Stuff like grep.
Minecraft is a game that is played by consulting manuals and learning from others, I would be astonished if an AI could magically discover how to find diamonds.
That is _exactly_ my life. Wake up early, kids, run out of the house, busy office day, get home and it's all kids until everyone is settled in bed and asleep by around 9:00pm (sometimes later). Then I clean up the disaster that was made in the house during the day. Now it's 10:30pm and I spend 1.5 hours trying to do something I want/need to do. Wash up at midnight and start getting to bed. Might be asleep by 1:00am. Rinse and repeat.
Well, this graph does shed some light on that...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recidivism#/media/File:Recidiv...

For white collar crime, which seems most relevant to the topic at hand, the recidivism rate is slightly less at about 48%.

You are missing the point.

What we want is for no one to drive dangerously. To discourage this, we give tickets for speeding.

For rich people, the fine doesn't mean anything to them because it is not enough money to matter, so they have no incentive to stop speeding. They keep speeding, putting everyone in danger.

The point of a fine (at least for something like speeding) is to discourage the behavior. If you want the DISCOURAGEMENT to be equal (because a rich person speeding is just as dangerous to other drivers as a poor person speeding, so we want to discourage them equally), then the fine needs to vary based on how wealthy the driver is.
To make this discussion better you should tell more about your development and deployment process. This includes definition of the project you use.
In spite of its warts the line numbered BASIC interpreter has it's good features, especially the immediacy of the interactive interpreter. The beginning programmer benefits hugely from this. Many languages boast about having this today, but BASIC had it all along until a more edit/compile/debug style BASIC became the norm.
Historically, the problem was solved by not allowing women in public at all. In nearly all higher cultures, women lived in completely segregated and controlled world. Let's not forget that what is novel is not that a tiny minority of men are sex-obsessed low-inhibition asshats, but what is novel is that women casually sit in the bus right next to them. By this, of course, I do not intend to downplay the severity of some experiences some women make.
I agree! I'll be teaching a graduate-level SE course in the future and I intend on making contributions to open source projects a requirement.
This is nothing but covert advertising. Almost everyone here seems to have missed this fact. Re-read the 'article' carefully. This text was carefully crafted to go viral by scaring parents.

Again, this is not about a 'police sting' or anything like that. It is about a 'project' (stunt) carried out by a private company that sells software for monitoring kids. The author works for the same company.

An Inside-Out Course on Number Theory (Last Class)
Whatever dude, I'm not going to argue with you here. The beginning of this article starts out by explaining what a stand up is. It's not written for tech workers it's a general piece. And just working at any large technology company puts you in a very small fraction of the population and the truth is a lot of people vy for these positions. If you work at Slack coming out of undergraduate, you'll be a top 1% earner for your age bracket. That is pretty "elite" by a normal person's standard.

My original point still stands. Realize you're living in a bubble if you think a normal person would not consider working at any "average" tech company like Atlassian, or Dropbox, elite. Let me guess, you work at a company that's
"""elite"""?
Speaking as someone who was raised like that as well, you are doing your kids a great service. I feel pretty comfortable being the handyman in my house all because my dad involved me with his projects from a very young age.

I'd have thought that Germany would have enough representatives from the DDR to know why this is a bad idea. Which is why they're usually one of the most anti-surveillance countries in Europe and leaders of GDPR campaigning.
I think it’s more than just remembering based on sight and touch. Close your eyes, open and close your hand but then leave it open. You probably know exactly what your hand is doing since you last commanded it.

So it’s more like a combination of sight and touch and forward modeling based on muscle input.

I wouldn't say 'correct', exactly. Not just int size, it depends on undefined behavior and a moderate level of compiler optimizations at the same time. Good luck there.
