I don't see the author claiming that. You evaluate someone as an individual when you're specifically talking about an individual. In this case it's about groups so those are the results being discussed.

Group level analysis is also useful as a backdrop before diving into specifics even when discussing a specific individual and has been shown to have predictive power at every level.

Barry Ritholtz has a great business and finance podcast called “Masters in Business” and frequently discusses favorite books and book recommendations in context of the dialogue.

“MiB was originally conceived by its creator, Barry Ritholtz, as a deep dive into the minds of the most influential, savvy and successful people in the world of business & finance. The podcast explores how these folks became the professionals they are today: Who their mentors and influences were, what their personal work history is like, what books they read, even what their daily routines and thought processes are like. A listener wrote: “The show is like eavesdropping two very smart market professionals having a deep discussion over a cup of coffee.””

How to Paint a Realistic Ear
This is a terrible idea and I love it.
There's Raytheon, who the government fired after they fell way behind schedule on e-borders.... and the government had to pay £220 million to fire. [1]

There's CSC, who were paid £10 billion for a failed NHS IT project [2] - and Accenture and Fujitsu who made billions from the failed 'NHS Connecting For Health' project [3]

There's HP Enterprise, IBM, Accenture and BT who have so far made £12 billion on the Universal Credit IT system which was supposed to cost £2 billion. And it's still beset by problems, of course. [4]

Obviously, there's a complex set of problems and incentives at work here. For one thing, these contractors are often paid by the hour - so they make more money if a project is late or unreliable. For another, there aren't any companies big enough they could offer a fixed-price contract without going bankrupt. For another, the government generally can't provide a specification that's succinct, clear and watertight because things like benefit systems are so complex, figuring out the requirements is 70% of the work on such a project. For another, most other sectors can lock out customers who are expensive to serve - good luck using Amazon if you're illiterate, or don't have a bank account, or don't have an address - whereas state health and benefit projects can't.

These days you can "scan" magazines and books with great results simply by taking photos of the pages with a high-quality digital camera. (This is a method of "scanning" which used to be reserved for rare and valuable artifacts, but has now become quite feasible in general.) There's even software like Hugin that will help merge multiple photos of a page into a single image, while correcting for distortion.
If you look at the Wikipedia description, it was the Mac Pro of its day. It came with hardware that was rather extreme. I remember the lust I felt over reading about it in Macworld. It had two 10Mhz specialized 65C02 chips just to control IO. I was rocking an Apple //e at the time with a 1Mhz 65C02.

Two years later, I got a Mac LCII with a 16Mhz/68030. A year after that, I got a 40Mhx accelerator for it and ran Speedometer to discover at least in the benchmarks, it ran about the same speed.
> but it is not based on any formal, rigourous analytical division of intrinsic properties

Actually it often is. For example one way to determine species is as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring. That's a far more rigorous and biologically based definition than race is. And taxonimists are looking at actual genes now. That is a formal, rigorous, analytical division based on intrinsic properties. So already there it is a poor comparison. Species is far more useful as an analytical tool because it is based in biology.

Scientists (in biology related fields) don't use race anymore as a category because it is an outdated and failed model of ancestry differences in the human population. In fact, race often gets the biology completely wrong. Because society, not science, determines someone's race.

Race is mostly useful to society and so will reflect the various motivations and ideologies of a society. People who choose to continue to use a failed scientific model as a useful analytical tool most often are pushing an ideology, and very often a racist one. The choice to use a failed model over more accurate categorization should always be suspect.

So the comparison to species is a very poor one. Taxonomists are broadly not ideologically motivated in their decisions like society is. And taxonomists continually refine their categorizations based on new scientific information, including genetic information. So species categorizations continue to get more and more accurate and increasingly based in science. That's why species continues to be a useful analytical tool. It is largely based in science and society has no say. Race is the opposite.

Modern kids have a historically unprecedented opportunity to learn about the world they live in. In order to do that, they need to not be with you.

Do you really think that time spent is quality? People tend to remember emotion highs and lows. You don't need a lot of time for that. That trip to the coast that they'll remember as adults actually only lasted a few hours. The rest of the time is mostly drudgery like cleaning up plates.

And regarding behaviour, you'll notice they behave better when exposed to groups of people who aren't their parents. It's an important aspect of socialisation to expose them to other people.

I’m from Australia, lived a decent portion of my life overseas in various countries, and traveled extensively (never lived anywhere more than a year in my life).

I’ve always noticed Australians in general are very easy to get mad, take things the wrong way, etc. I’m constantly surprised by how many of my friends have so much loud hatred for things that seem so.. trivial? I’m constantly made fun of for being a “hippy” and “not caring about anything” because I prefer to always try stay positive and as stress-free as possible.

Of course this is a vast generalisation, but it’s purely my experience and something I’ve distinctly noticed too, and I agree it seems to be getting worse.

I don’t think the nations history has anything to do with it though. I don’t know where it started but I think it’s just a cultural thing that spreads like most cultural things.
When the new and exiting software gets older, it accumulates cruft and can fall under the weight of features. Software that that keeps going and keeps going past 40+ years has found a way to survive time.

The mental front investment required to learn emacs (or vi) and TeX just keeps paying dividends. After using emacs for two decades it's like brain implant.
I'm not sure if it is a thing unique to Australia, but there are seem to be a lot of Australian's that have a chip on their shoulder and will tell anyone that will listen to them about how badly Australian's do things/behave. I suspect they have not traveled very much, or just feel better doing something similar to self-flagellation. Like anywhere Australia has it's issues, but in general things are pretty good compared to most countries in the world.

People creates random moral rule just to pose as "saints" and tag themselves as "the good ones", or maybe for convenient reasons like the presence of viruses, genetics or diseases, or to hide who they are in an hostile environment.

For the next thousand years, much after the healthy problems are long solved by new knowledge and buried for good, their descendants try hard to find a way to circunvent the random rule to "break it" but without breaking it.

Wouldn't be much better for they to grow, use their long forgotten freedom and get ride of the random rule? If you don't like pork is fine, but why you would want your food looking as a pork piece?

Yeah Prop 13 passed when the state was much more republican leaning. Remember both Nixon and Reagan were from California and Schwarzenegger won the governor's race. Arguably the state only went democratic because anti immigrant efforts, particularly prop 187 in 94, pushed moderate latino and asian voters to vote democratic.
We've lost the ability to evaluate behavior as it is in itself. Before we judge, we have to find out whether it was a "good" or "bad" person who did it. If that doesn't help, we can perhaps find some innuendo to the effect that the actor acted as an "agent" or even "asset" of some known-"bad" "foreign" power. When we fill our brains with garbage, only garbage can come out of them.
I've worked with Fujitsu in the UK. I consider them pretty terrible and I highly doubt said software was written to anything that would be considered a good standard.

But it's not the software that failed to notice substantial amounts of "theft" after implementing a new IT system, it's not the software that put the outcome of peoples lives on the line, it's not the software that chased repayments and conviction, and it's not the software that completely failed at introspection and I'd alleged swept this all under the carpet.

If this is actually all true and the world was perfectly just, we'd likely be seeing charges against Post Office management of the time, setting an example for the rest of them going forward, but I'll believe it when I see it.
What is the probability of something like this appearing in a normal program written by somebody who is unaware of trigraphs?

> Seats though, is it normal to own a bus in Australia?

Two of our last cars have been 7 seaters. Neither have been "buses", just a fold up seat in the boot section. Quite comfortable, even for an adult.

> The people I would expect to own a car with more than two rows of seats are families with 4+ kids, which is nobody here.

We're a family of 5, and whilst we can fit it a standard five-seater, as soon as we have a +1 which is fairly common with friends of our kids you either need two cars, or a 7 seater.

A good compiler (eg: gcc) will warn if any token is interpreted as a trigraph

Edit: digraph works a bit differently [0]

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digraphs_and_trigraphs#C
This is about that ancient EBCDIC (IBM's ASCII "competitor") specific hack called trigraphs, which in modern compilers are opt-in anyhow: "To understand this, I have to admit one thing: I have to pass -trigraphs to a modern version of gcc before this actually works. "

C++17 actually removed support for these.

To anyone reading to see if they should have kids, here's my take on it. It's not the magical euphoric experience described here, some people get that but I've always been more of a down to earth person.

It's more or less like getting a dog ( I take really good care of my dogs ). You take it out, stick to a routine, take care of it, love it and enjoy its company and bond that comes with having one.

If this is you then you'll be just fine having kids. If you dump it in the backyard and occasionally have time for it then it's not going to be great.

The chance of this accidentally happening is almost 0. This is what `gcc` does:

No. No socialisation process is going to equip you to maneuver around a bureaucracy with ill-defined boundaries. That's why you need a defined process with rules so that people know where they stand. Damore thought he was in the clear because others posted about controversial positions and the company didn't have any rules about it and seemingly encouraged it. It turns out there were secret unwritten rules that he crossed and cost him his job.
The article mentions that they had to explicitly enable it with a compiler flag to get it to work. I doubt any modern compiler would still support these by default.

Seriously, at this point C should be considered dangerous and should be actively discouraged. I would even go so far as to legislate it. We can't have this sort of thing in 2019.
Digraphs were supposed to be a easier-to-read alternative to trigraphs. Unfortunately, the extended list of digraphs with many additional logic operators by C++ never entered C, i.e.

%:%: ##
compl ~
not !
bitand &
bitor |
and &&
or ||
xor ^
and_eq &=
or_eq |=
xor_eq ^=
not_eq !=

C only has basic ones (still more intuitive than trigraphs).

<: [
:> ]
<% {
%> }
%: #

Last time, I had to type a C program on a touchscreen, and those symbols were extremely difficult to enter. I knew digraphs can help, but then realized that I couldn't use the digraphs for logic operators without programming C under C++.

This has been happening for quite some time. Especially in MOBA like dota2. There was a problem of other uploaders ripping off original uploaders by just covering their watermarks and such. Turns out, taking streams that's hours in length, editing it to just have "good" stuff and uploading it to youtube is considerable amount of time. Youtube being youtube was even letting re-uploader claim the original upload and such.(As an example) I think SingSing just gave access to his youtube account "WehSing" to the guy who was making clips and they have an arrangement where he pays him (not sure how the arrangement works).

Side observation: these youtube videos seem to have sponsered messages from skin,items etc trading type website.The videos also do raffle so users can "win skins" and such if they like/subscribe/comment. But youtubes recent policy chances apparently frowns up give-aways in exchange for subscribes and like and is causing a new wave of ruckus.

Nice "No true Scotsman" logic there. Sure, if you see multiple question marks as an indicator of unprofessionalism, then by definition, no professional would use that. At the same time, your definition of professional is not one that is useful in any other context.

In code written by people whose job it is, in part, to write code, i.e. what I would call professionals, multiple question marks do sometimes occur.

I think there’s some confusion on what the original problem is: how do you get the ticket, together with its messages, in the minimum number of api calls ? That’s why parent post mentions latency and graphql.

The other problem : « having already queried the ticket, how do i get its messages », does indeed allow for various answers : tickets/Id/messages , or /messages?ticketid=xx or even /messages?ids=a,b,c,d are valid, depending on how orthogonal tickets and messages are, and don’t depend on latency, indeed.

And it is prefered that there is room between the hood and motor in case of an impact with a pedestrian.

This is why a lot of cars start to look the same.

This is also why the cybertruck in it's current form will never be allowed in Europe. A door that doesn't dent on impact of a huge hammer gives a nice show but is a big no for a lot of different safety reasons.
