Say "we have our own ethnic identity and don't stray outside of it, yet we are fruitful", that's 99% of what any ethnicity needs to innoculate itself against slow-motion intifadas.

That's the fear, the ideological imperialism going hand-in-hand with ethnic displacement, and that happens everywhere not just with Muslims, it's just explicit religious doctrine for them.

Western/European countries could do with a serious fast on shame, ever since the second world war it's like a lust for shame and death has been injected in.

I don't love or even like Muslims, and have very little desire to understand them! And I love that I live in a place where I won't even be harassed for saying that, at most I'll be disinvited from a party.

They're just people from a culture I don't understand and I'm totally content not understanding most all cultures and most all people, not that I have much choice in the matter because I'm not a global hivemind, I can't be everywhere at once and even if I could it would be a lot of work to make that a comfortable experience.

Subreddits suck, at least for focused, productive discussions you might want to archive and refer back later. Old-school forums actually work very well for this use case; the only thing they're missing in a present-day context is some level of, e.g. ActivityPub interop.

I was thinking about this recently: is there ever a reason to put recursion in an everyday “workman” code base?

Seems like it would be so out of place in a real industry code base, like a infinite loop waiting to happen. There are always better more readable and maintainable ways to accomplish the same thing.

> At least on eBay it’s much more common to get a picture of the actual product

This part can be really annoying. I have been trying to collect all different boxed/DVD/etc releases of an old game and the Amazon listing just shows promotional cover art that I now suspect was never used for retail copies of the game (the publisher on the cover was bought out by another one before the game released). Definitely none of the copies that I got from that listing matched the image shown. On eBay you might need to sift through many listings to find the best price but at least you can usually see which version you are buying.

If someone asks you to bring wine or beer to a party, do you usually bring both? Because that would still be valid in an OR statement but basing your ordinary life decisions on boolean logic doesn't always work out like you expect it.

If a contract is written as:

You own things you make on your own time unless you're using company equipment provided:
* The thing does not relate to company business
* The thing does not result from work you do for the company

It's pretty clear cut what this means and a judge would not care for boolean logic. Of course it's hard to know for sure without knowing the exact wording of the contract.
It's not that simple.

First you can't always choose the stack you work with. You work with other people, who may have expertise in different languages. You may have to reuse existing code written in different languages. And it's rarely the case that some stack is better than another on every aspects, there is usually some form of compromises to be made.

Especially because there is no way to MITM a connection with perfect-forward-secrecy only if it ends up serving a self-signed certificate, because the connection first negotiates an ephemeral key with which everything, including the certificate, will be encrypted.

This means that with eSNI and at least one CA-signed cert on the IP, any attacker runs the risk of having to spoof the CA-signed certificate.
This is, fundamentally, the Open Core business plan, which Mattermost is executing quite successfully. You get all the marketing benefits of being "open source", but few IT departments will use your software in production without buying the enterprise license, so you get most of the revenue you'd have had if you were closed source.

Folks have different perspectives on Open Core. It's definitely a lot better from a freedom perspective than proprietary software, so I don't want to be too down on it. But it isn't really FOSS, and I think the difference is important, which is why Zulip is following the commercially more difficult path of 100% FOSS. Even obviously enterprise features developed entirely by our paid team, like SAML authentication are FOSS, and our plan is for it to remain that way forever.

It's commercially more difficult because it means right now we have users at governments and Fortune 500 companies and whatnot who've reached out to tell us they how much they love Zulip, but nonetheless aren't paying us anything. On the flipside, Zulip has been very successful in building a large community of volunteer major contributors (some handy stats are in our release blog posts, e.g. last week's https://blog.zulip.org/2019/12/13/zulip-2-1-released/). I don't think that would have happened had we taken Mattermost's aggressively Open Core approach..

The official interactive map for the NSW Rural Fire Service is also an eye opener, as it shows the actual areas burnt in roughly real-time.

https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/fire-information/fires-near-me

In the past month it started out as isolated black patches, which have now merged into fewer but bigger black patches. Given the heat predicted over the next few days and lack of predicted rain until January, there is every chance that more of the fires will merge. The NSW fires are spread over a distance of 1000km, with the larger individual fires being about 200km in length. The map shows only NSW's fires, so multiply that view by about 6 to account for the rest of the mainland.
You're mistaken, as I was simply trying to draw attention to the fact that the motivations, and therefore salves, for a) a mass shooter who enters a soft target and kills strangers indiscriminately, and b) a "mass shooter" who knows his target and catches innocents in the crossfire, differ substantially.

You group the two in order to dilute the focus of anti-gun violence advocacy, but you're given away by how little you care about instances of the latter definition otherwise. If "mental healthcare" is your panacea, it won't help non-suicide handgun violence. You know that, and I know that, and it's then perplexing why you would think we wouldn't notice.
Calling this just a metro/subway map seems incorrect at least in Helsinki's case. Its map seems to also contain all tram, commuter train and even a couple of main bus lines.

- AI to fulfil the above.

Considering how you continue to bring up an issue that was disproved multiple times at every level (That too during Congress rule so you cannot accuse Modi of manipulating investigating agencies and courts), It might have been.

I don't see it as much about knowledge of the game, more about avoiding mistakes and less pressure that lets you look at a game more in-depth. That, and two people will probably coalesce towards something like honte anyway.

Add to this the player opposing is under pressure because he HEARS the discussion. Can he take advantage of knowing plans? Should he?

I'd say this is a nice learning tool, and honestly, anything that keeps you interested and makes learning and playing a bit more fun is fantastic. I've played 5-in-a-row go, pair go, 3-player go, 1-colour go, 3D go and tried different board sizes like 38x38 or 19x19 infinite (sides 'joined'). I've never run across this variant! Seems fun!

I think it is easier, but I don't think that is important or the right question. We live in a world that evolves and problems (Jobs) change all the time. It is to everyone's best interest to teach themselves new tools both to stay relevant and also to find interesting new problems to solve. So yes we need to change from the mindset of religious worship of a certain tool by only searching problems that tool can solve to researching the best tool for the problem we need to solve and learning it if necessary.

Well... The more radical political philosophies (at any given time) make lots of equivalences (ethical and others) between slavery & other stuff. Wage labour today, and obviously older institutions like tenancy, serfdom, indentured labour, etc. Even many free thinking, but politically mainstream people (eg t cowen) make non-ethical comparisons between slavery and employment.

It's easier to agree with if you widen your concept of slavery, beyond the specific institution of African slavery in the US... during the later years. That system was so brutal and unethical by slavery standards. So, it's hard to compare to.

Before, during & after chattel slavery, the Americas had other systems of "slavery." Most were not that* brutal, but still slavery.

Indentured service was huge, at a certain point. Share croppers. These people probably outnumbered free employees in many times and places.

Serfs were not free to go. Monks were arguably enslaved by abbots. Artisans sometimes bought apprentices as children.

In western Europe, the "tenant" concept that replaced serfdom was often similar to sharecropping.. arguably also a system of slavery.

We know of ancient examples: Greek, Roman, Jewish, Persian, Babylonian... Ancient law codes (including the bible) dedicated a lot of ink to slavery laws. Slaver rights, slave rights, manumission, and such. A Greek slave could be wealthy, and that should help broaden the concept.

Marxism sees slavery in class terms. Ie it's just a name to describe the lowest class, and wage labour is a descendant of slavery.

There are even many modern-economy examples where employers have a say in an employee's marriage or reproductive choices. That arguably is slavery-like.

Anyway... once you widen the concept of slavery with multiple examples that you easily accept as "obviously slavery*, drawing analogies to other institutions is easy.

Indenture, for example, exists, today, in practice, widely... in many forms. Invariably, the "slavers" think it's ethically sound.

Hey Nir, I just finished your book (loaned from the library). I feel like it has a lot of good information, however the people who are most likely to benefit from it are least likely to read it, or read anything at all for that matter.

I'd already implemented most of your recommendations before reading it, and this year I feel like I've finally balanced tech consumption so that it's at a healthy level. It's allowed me to read over 20 books, pursue my hobbies in more depth and spend more time with my kid.

Things that worked for me:

- no tech in the bedroom, I leave my phone in the living room every night.
- start a morning routine without tech every day, I meditate, do stretches and a light work out.
- i try to read as much as possible in hard copy from the library. 3 week loans push me to finish things. I look forward to getting a notification that one of my reserves has arrived. If the library doesn't have a book it will inter library loan or purchase it for me most of the time.
- all phone alerts turned off except for text msg/calls
- only use FB messenger light if I'm going to use FB at all
- plenty of time to do nothing. I don't think the human machine is meant to be on all the time

"music theory is happily systematic"

Funny, when I tried multiple times to learn music theory it seemed very unsystematic to me, and more like the result of hundreds of years of accretion by lots of people who thought their own way and did not have any kind of coherent, overarching system or vision in mind.

If it was more systematic it would have been a whole lot easier to learn.
Just as a matter of accuracy, I don't know if I'd call it a massive majority.

You're right in that the polls got it wrong, and everyone (including arguably the current government) thought the conservatives were done for.

But the end results, iirc, were 77 seats for the conservatives, 68 seats labor. A one seat gain from the previous election for the conservatives and a one seat loss for labor, with a total swing of just over 1% in the two party preferred vote.

For context, a party needs 76 seats to form government.

I feel it's more accurate to say our country remains quite polarised.
Honestly, what kind of side projects can one conceivably have working a full time job that mist often involves overtime? Let's be realistic here. Chances are you're not being a competent employee if you can manage to devote brain cells to more programming outside of work, or you're likely hyped up on the adderalls, which more than likely will lead to amphetamine psychosis in the long run.
Yes, I think that if someone asked me to bring "wine or beer" to a party, literally everyone I know would be fine with me bringing a bit of both.

In fact, what would be weird would be someone objecting to my bringing both on the grounds that they meant, but didn't say, "xor".

I don't think this contract is ambiguous in natural language. Or is generally inclusive, and if you want xor you either write xor or use some cumbersome circumlocution.
Having been at a very low level of this I can confirm the daily reviews. And yes it is extremely effective, if you have the right people.

The delivery time thing is, IMHO, ober simplified. Not sure if Clark is reviewing that life, but it is reviewed for the previous day. At least on the warehousing side of things, lead times are closely watched as these directly impact promised delivery dates for everything stored there. Same goes for transportation lead times. The worst thong to happen is the "red button", if that is pushed a complete warehouse looses the Prime status, meaning only standard delivery is enabled. Happens quite regularly so, and I even remember a Big Red Button when the whole network was affected. It just shouldn't be to long.

The most important metric at my level was missed shipments. More explicitly shipments missed due to the warehouses fault (ready to ship on time but not picked up by the carrier). Even worse, shipments that missed the promised delivery date. It speaks volumes about Amazon's logistics systems that all this could be figured out before 9 o'clock in the morning for the previous day. And it is one reason why you learn so much there.

Regarding people, Clarks ability to manage the network not only depends on the low level guys (like me back the day) but also managers in between. If these managers got their priorities right the system is less harsh then one might think. If managers play politics, not so much.

He'll show up at warehouses in the middle of peak (busy, holiday season) and demand changes to operational configurations that to against the standards set out by subject matter experts.

His claim to fame really is that he was in the right place at the right time. Dave Clark built Amazon delivery? No, Dave Clark was at the helm of operations when Amazon realized that if the company didn't build a delivery network asap, they'd be in trouble in a few years when demand outstripped (cheap) supply. If Dave were smart, that's something he'd have figured out years earlier.
