Russia's war with Georgia and annexation of Crimea rather vindicates the Baltic states' decision to join NATO. Russia has made it manifestly clear that it wants the right to interfere in any country's politics that hosts a sizable Russian minority, and that it is willing to bring in the tanks should the host country refuse.

Critical theorists aren't worth studying. They have no consistent norms of evaluating the quality of their work and their primary purpose is to advance literary explorations over calibration to any particular truth of the matter.

So saying a critical theorist is well-studied by other critical theorists says very little about the value of their positions to non-literary fields. There may have been a fact of the matter as to whether Walter Benjamin really was an inspiration for post-modernism or if he's merely confined to modernism, but I think a true critical theorist would leave that up to debate.
>>If you tell people a site has a paywall when it doesn't, that is misinformation

I did not tell people here there was a "paywall". I told them Medium requires I ""sign in" with Google or Facebook". The truth is they don't, but they make it look like they do.

So, are you deliberately trying to misinform others here now by claiming I said they have a "paywall"?

That seems a lot closer to that line you've accused me of crossing than what I wrote here.

I don’t agree at all. While iTunes was feature rich and relatively stable, the replacements are relatively feature poor and quite unstable. Apple should’ve taken another year to introduce the replacements.
That's for console use. Trees are useful for looking at the whole thing at once, much as it's easier to appreciate a real tree that way than by maintaining a list of the leaves and branching distances.

I'm a a researcher and my source material is ~50gb spread across ~50k hand-picked files with pretty arbitrary structure, plus another 4-5 times that in mirrors of other collections. Trees let me see things that I would overlook by reading lists all the time.

Right now I half-ass use some bioinformatics tools originally intended for cladistics and proteome research to visualize the collection. Some days I go looking for specific information or catalog what I have, other days I stumble across a cache of valuable data and might select hundreds of individual files.

He neglected to include the selling side. "Everything is worth what it's seller will sell it for." And that in turn is often going to be dictated by what other offers are on the market for the same good. This is a big problem for sellers of software labor in Kansas City.

The problem for the hypothetical KC Googler is that there are substantially no other high paying tech jobs in KC. There's Cerner, but they pay seniors ~1/3rd what Google pays (and it seems to get further from Google comp as you go up the ladder). So if you want to negotiate with Google to increase your pay, you have no credible best alternative to a negotiated agreement (BATNA). If you want to work for any other high paying tech company, you have to leave town. Google, knowing they are the best game in town, would face less upward pressure on wages.

I mean, as a matter of simple fact, Google does not pay the same in different metros. Nor do any other large companies I'm aware of. The pay is adjusted to what is required to attract talent in those metros.
So I think it's possible for colleges to make progress on the legacy admissions front without even touching affirmative action. I would just hope the courts make the right decisions in the future. I doubt affirmative action is a solution that really makes anyone "happy", including the people it is intended to benefit.
>what's the incentive?

I expect the federal government to invent one. If it worked for Iraqi Freedom, the Spanish American War, Vietnam, maybe it'll work in Wyoming. Otherwise, we already condition our kids to solve conflict through violence, first by beating them when they do things we don't appreciate, and then by sitting them down in front of the TV where they can watch and learn as their only adult role model saves the day by inflicting grievous bodily harm onto other people (superheroes, star wars, fortnite).

Also, war is a lot less personal these days. There are a dozen or so Air National Guard units with access to weaponized drones in the united states. The public didn't even flinch at the onboard camera movies coming back from iraq and afghanistan showing people being blown up in their pickup trucks and SUVs.

I think there's a real possibility that the new Google employees and their kids would "make" the schools in their Kansas town better, through a bunch of different mechanisms.

I think you shouldn’t go in that ally. If you are looking for reward based crowdfunding campaign than you don’t really have anything to give. If you are looking to give equity it’s too early. Generally, software crowdfunding campaigns don’t do well on platforms like Kickstarter or indiegogo. I founded a crowdfunding platform and helped around 5000 campaigns.

It'd be interesting to actually test this out if we got rid of farm and fossil fuel subsidies that prop up monoculture.

I assume in the context, he means "GPS" to mean radio based position and velocity fixing, since it's opposed to dead reckoning.

You're talking about NAVSTAR GPS, which is what most people refer to as simply "GPS". However other radio based US military nav sats date back to the 50s with the Navy's TRANSIT system, and Timation 1 was launched in '67, which was probably the first sat with a signal helpful for real-time, fast moving calculations, but was almost certainly too big to fit in a space ship at the time. Usable LORAN dates back to ~1940, if you don't limit it to sat based systems.

I'm not familiar with what the Soviets were capable of at the time in terms of either their independent nav systems, or ability to take advantage of the US ones, but it's reasonable to think they were putting as much military effort into it as the US was. Hell, a lot of info on the US history has only been ~recently declassified.

Point being, the space race happened specifically to develop this type of nuke delivery technology. At the time, this thinking definitely included manned space capsules (think nuclear bombers, but flying in space), as well as ICBMs, both of which would require precise navigation.

That said, the IMP merely calculated and displayed updated position based on manually input orbit parameters, which were calculated on the ground and radioed up.

Those, in turn, were based on location/velocity observations using both radio and radar range-finding, but all ground-based.
Because that's what being the leader of the free world means. The U.S. has the economic and military resources to give freedom a fighting chance of survival. If we choose not to counterbalance the influence of autocracies, that freedom won't last long.
In the spirit of debate:

1. I wouldn’t call it coddling - going from say 5% chance to a 15% chance

2. I would hazard that the vast majority of legacy admissions are perfectly capable students - just as would have trouble telling the difference between the performance of the ~5% of applicants that got in, with the next 5% that didn’t

3. Equality of what?

> The downside is you can't automate harvest

>if it is code that must be maintained, then at some point the hair may need to be shaved; it simply cannot grow forever as the world moves on around it. the doma of "never rewrite" is silly without further context.

"Shaving" seems more close to refactoring & partial rewrite than starting from scratch. Which is what we are talking about.

Still, You make good points. Maybe, we should think of "restarting from scratch" the same way we do premature optimization - (1. don't do it. 2. Don't do it too early. 3. if you must do, measure first)

I think every developer dreams of rewriting from scratch because they hate how hacky and ugly their code is probably due to rushed deadlines and because it was just supposed to be an mvp. And they think about throwing it away and starting clean and doing it the 'proper way'. This imo is the wrong reason to start from scratch.

But if your technical debt is genuinely preventing your product from going where it needs to go or do its job. That is the right reason. Again you have to make the calculation whether the technical debt is greater than the cost of rewriting from scratch, re-opening old bugs and introducing new ones, breaking your customers workflow - they also invested a lot into your old program. How many times have you liked a program until 'the damn devs went and ruined a good thing' by 'fixing what wasn't broken'. Again, customers don't see or care about the code or technical debt. They just need to get their work done.

I think sometimes arse is used in a sort of ironic sounding way here.

In general though, outside of this one, a lot of things that somes get described as British use turn out to be things that I would also say. Sometimes there are regional differences in the US, or sonetimes it might even vary with the individual. The patterns of who says what aren't always so neat and organized as "this is always American, this is always British."

I myself have one parent who was born in England and immigrated here fairly young, and I sometimes wonder if or assume that's a factor for me.
I think Linux is going in the direction of "everything is a dbus API" instead. Linux needs it's own "9P," or equivalently practical, if it wants to reverse this trend. DBus, while perhaps not the best IPC mechanism, currently fills the gap. Several of the systemd binaries are there purely to shift from reading and writing files to pushing updates over dbus. See for example systemd-hostnamed.

For anyone with even the slightest curiosity or desire to learn APL:

Please check out J!

J's "labs" feature is probably the single greatest resource for learning APL there is right now, aside from being instructed in person. Some of them in the current versions of J are even from Ken Iverson, one of the most brilliant people to have influenced computer science, Turing Award winner, former Harvard professor, and of course, the person who first brought APL to the rest of the world. Most of the new ones were written by people who are also brilliant.

There are even iOS and Android apps if you have bits and pieces of free time that aren't really suited to taking out your laptop or desktop, and they're fully-featured, including a web server, the stuff needed for dataviz, labs, everything, really.

Chatham House Rule FAQ
The first Fortran had arithmetic IF. Fortran didn't get logical IF (the structured if-then-else that every language uses today) until McCarthy proposed it.

Of course recursion and first-class functions were known to mathematics. But we were discussing programming languages, not mathematics. And specifically high-level languages, back when there was a lot of skepticism as to whether they were even a good idea. Fortran got there first. Lisp was second and provided the existence proof that abstract features Fortran didn't even attempt were nevertheless viable. And then it went on to become the standard language of AI.

Sure, there was a lot of creativity happening back then, and Lisp didn't cause that creativity to happen. But being the second-oldest programming language and the first viable implementation of so many high-level features made Lisp a crucial development in the history of computing that's still quite relevant today.

I think the point of the original article is yes, it is in some other countries interests to end the dollar being the sole reserve currency.

On the other hand, the USA provides stability, so everyone who is rational in the world should want any transition to be slow. The whole world is in this together, I think we prosper together, or suffer together. Let’s hope for the first option.
It's not about whether dollar sucks in absolute terms. It's about whether it sucks less than other currencies. It's tied to the largest economy in the world, and the strongest military in the world (importantly, including the strongest navy as well), by quite a margin, and as such, it's not going anywhere. You don't need to run faster than the bear, you just need to run faster than the other guy.

There are no "rules" on the international stage. There is no way to impose any rules on a sovereign state. As such, what you perceive as "rules" are merely the lowest energy states that will change when the sovereign state decides that it doesn't want to abide by them anymore, and there's not a single thing anyone can do about that short of imposing sanctions or declaring a war. "International law" is a fictional construct, since there can't be any enforcement.

Sorry, it's a fact. At the very best, the great bulk of it is unnecessary: companies advertise because their competitors advertise.
