Until senior management and boards of directors are facing the very real prospect of prison all criminal behavior will be treated with statistical analysis of expected values; expected gain versus exected loss with being caught simply a business expense that probably won't even need to be paid. Even the most egrarious action resulting in extreme cases such as preventable death will be in a spreadsheet.

How is whistle blowing going for engineers who hate this? Who could you report it to? Who would write the proper story without burying it for political friends (NYT, WSJ) or burning you as the source (Guardian)? Is there anywhere who will publish credible material they've received no matter what while doing everything to protect sources?
:D

I think this is the best answer that there can be.

Just curious to practical approaches rather than pragmatism and dogma!!
I once found a wallet on the sidewalk outside a mall in Japan. I tried to drop it at the mall's lost and found, but the security guard there took me with him to a police box. The policeman there took me to the local police station, and we spent the next hour filling out a report. They were all very friendly and appreciative that I turned it in, but it was really quite an ordeal. If I were to find something valuable again, I might just leave it alone to avoid the hassle.

The seats at the front of the plane cost more money. The airlines want everyone who didn’t pay extra to suffer a little to encourage them to pay more next time.

Just writing a javascript runtime alone isn't just a "handful of engineers." WebGL stack? WebRTC? Layout engine/compositor? Notifications? You're kidding me, there is no small team in the world that could ship a browser stack end to end.

Learning Haskell taught me about a lot of language features that I find myself reaching for in lots of languages. Examples include: destructuring, list comprehensions, currying, immutable data structures, maybe types, and algebraic data types.

The language has a lot offer. How much you want to take away and incorporate in your programming repertoire is clearly at the discretion of the student; however, to imply that it is devoid of transferrable value is a false assertion.
I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for helping create an amazing browser. Best wishes!

It is a great browser, once we agree on priorities on what they should be great at.
All modern browsers suck badly wrt UI. User interfaces dumbed down to unusability is the new fashion and both Chrome and Mozilla suffer equally from that (which is why I use Waterfox Classic). But while FF focuses on privacy, and definitely delivers in this context, Chrome and others don't, by design. I would happily trade 50% of everything else for 10% more privacy, because an ugly tab, panel, window, menu etc. does no harm compared to the potential disgrace caused by the loss of control on personal data.
Pesticides and climate change? Not really. Not shipping bees across the country to pollinate crops and reducing the use of round-up are things that can be done to deal with that right now.

Colony collapse is a big problem, but I don't think you can blame it on climate change. Insects are super adaptable, and it's much more likely an overuse in pesticides and other pollutants. If you stop using them and stop trucking bees across the nation, you reduce CO2 incidentally, but that shouldn't be the main focus at all.

I feel like climate change turns into "When all you have is a hammer, all you see are nails." There is a shit ton of plastic particulates in the ocean. That's not due to climate change. There are lakes of sludge in factory cities all over China. That's not due to climate change. Both of those are due to pure consumption; shipping and waste.

If you reduce other real forms of pollution, by consuming less, you incidentally reduce CO2. You focus on CO2 and the world is still going to rip itself apart as we replace CO2 for other pollution.

Those fucking idiots can't even do a browser right anymore... And that is literately what they started out with...

I mean is there any fucking reason why Mozilla can't add the same features that used to exist as addons for there own fucking browser pre quantum shit direction. When Vivaldi a chromium clone with far less staff and money behind it, has been able to implement at least some of the popular power addons Firefox used to have, as core supported features?!

... NO THERE IS NO REASON FOR THAT OTHER THAN COMPLETE INCOMPETENCE AND STUPID MANAGEMENT IMO, just look at Bugzilla, and the countless reports and feature requests for API changes or feature requests for them to implement things that are blocked by idiots at Mozilla staff.

The only thing that made Firefox even good ie Firefox 2.5-3.x, 4.x upto the Quantum crappy chrome clone direction .... was the addon developers who made rich and extensive addons to improve things where Mozilla did the bare minimum .. after 4.x Mozilla spent more time removing good things and introducing shit things....

Don't get me wrong they have at least kept up with making sure the browser backend can render latest HTML5, CSS3 spec etc,

However the the tech that made Firefox so developer customizable.. the thing that really gave evangelists and power users reason to promote the fucking thing, over shit like chrome which was faster but did fuck all really.. unless you consider its crappy and limited extension system actually good, when its complete shit and most the power addons firefox used to have can no longer be created web extensions.

Anyway yeah Mozilla.. retards, I'm sure most the skilled people have left already and its only run by SJW idiots.

Haskell has crazy amounts of wild evolution and experimentation with new ways to do a programming language. Look at the number of language extensions present in a typical non-toy haskell system. It's not just a single arbitrary set of conditions. I'd consider it more as a highly successful platform for PL research that people happen to build stuff in. If that's not progress, I don't know what is.
In this subthread, we were discussing "the interface something is not copyrightable as the law says today, but the description of said interfaces may in fact be". The header file was an example of how this is already generally assumed to be the status quo - the API is not copyrighted, but the particular description of that API, in form of <windows.h> that ships with MSVC, is copyrighted. So MinGW could do this for Win32 API, so long as they rolled their own header.

There have been 559,789 naturalizations total from 1952 to 2018: http://www.moj.go.jp/content/001180510.pdf

Many of those have probably died by now, but likely not without leaving a few descendants. So there may be a million or so Japanese citizens with a family background involving migration within the last few generations.

Not necessarily a correction, but find a way to make startup game work with remote engineering teams. Either fully remote, or remote-from-headquarters but collocated team.

There are going to be challenges, no doubt. Depending on where the team is, there will be legal stuff to figure out, time zone difference will be an issue and it will require some work to maintain the same "all-in-this-together" team atmosphere.

On the other hand, you are not competing with FAANG on compensation. For example, in Eastern Europe, even low-level Bay Area salaries are higher than most offers people will get locally. And equity grants are basically unheard of. English levels are very high, culture is pretty compatible with the US. And the level of accessible engineering talent is also very high, since you can outbid the local market easily.

There is a pretty well-developed remote contracting ecosystem where I live, but hiring people to be a part of the core team (by US startups) is comparatively rare.

Then again, action is the antidote to despair, (Joan Baez) - do something in your own life to help fight it or ameliorate the effects. This isn't some "you can fix it!" post - you, personally, can't. But doing something to get yourself ready, be it moving to a stable democracy on high ground at a high latitude with adequate defense, or learning to be self-sufficient in the event of supply chains collapsing, or becoming friends with your neighbours so that in the event of serious problems (empty shelves, taps running dry, etc.) you have a network of friends and not just a neighbourhood of competitors.

Or just wax philosophical and enjoy the life you've got. In the end, we're all mortal.

The problem isn't that you don't make your own toilet paper. It's that an oddly high percentage of people you're competing against for the most desirable jobs do make their own toilet paper.

By contrast, you appear less appealing as a result. If all you want to do is show up to the mill and get paid, stop applying at all the most prestigious mills. There's thousands of more humble mills that could use your help outside the valley--and they don't mind if you buy your toilet paper at the store.
For the past couple of years the main measurable objective has been the second derivative of Firefox market share, ie. just slowing down the bleed was enough to get 100% (or over 100%) company performance based bonuses.

You are talking about the biggest architecture change of. Net in 30 years ( going cross platform) and they are still going to support VB 6, WPF,..

Visual studio is actually a very robust IDE. The issue you are mentioning is .net framework project files and if you copy files within or to Visual Studio it will be added. .net framework only wants to add files you want to deploy ( not perfect, but okay).

For migrating to. Net standard 2.0, remove assemblyinfo.cs and change the. Csproj file. You should manually add the Nugget packages again or change it to the new structure. The biggest issue is entity framework though, in a lot of projects. From. Net standard to . Net core is a lot easier.

Seems pretty reasonable to me, updating other things ( eg. Android) have caused more issues than this.

Ps. Navigating is mostly f12 of control+f12
If airlines really wanted to speed up boarding they should stop offering free carry on but charge for checked in luggage.
Ryanair realized this now and for their cheapest category you aren’t allowed to put luggage in the overhead bins (or rather, the ticket allows only bags that fit under the seat in front).

As for boarding, airlines should have staff in the plane shoving people into the rows with their coats on and their carryons in their laps. Better yet, they should have signs in the gate instructing people to have their coats in their hands and not on them (just like the TVs at security). Once everyone is in the cabin, people can get up and use the overhead bins without blocking the aisle.
Not everyone is mono-lingual.

I enjoy using Cmder [1]. You can customize the colors and fonts, it has tabs, split panes, keyboard and mouse stuff, customizable tab names, global hotkeys, etc. I confess I'm not 100% what the Quake thing is but I'm pretty sure Cmder has that feature (it just means you get the terminal to slide down from the top of your screen with a hotkey right?) [2].

I used to be big on Linux custom stuff with i3 + termite + rofi as my main workflow but life has been much easier with Windows + WSL + Cmder haha. It also lets you run command prompt in the same UI as a new tab, which is nice in those rare cases when you need to use command prompt instead of WSL. I believe it's built on top of ConEmu [3].

@PaulHoule Thanks for sharing your research paper and classifier, It is interesting. I've question though which I found while going through the top 200 articles picked in your algorithm, would it not be a more efficient classifier if you have the data from all those shared links instead of just the titles or some meta data, like if you would have the web pages crawled and scraped all at once to feed the classifier in realtime, would not that bring more accurate results?

This is as good time as any to inform us of the exciting breakthroughs Haskell has made.

When and where can I see a demonstration of flight?

To avoid misunderstanding - I'm assuming you believe Haskell has flown in the past 3 decades already and that it's not that Haskell has been preparing for flight for the past 3 decades? I'd be interested to know which accomplishments you consider to be flight, why and please provide some commercial airlines that are making use of Haskell plane fleets.

My favorite Haskell airplane is Idris - it is a paper airplane that I got much joy out of throwing around.

I never understood this. What exactly would you have airlines do? They don’t operate on massive margins. Ticket prices are the lowest or nearly the lowest they have ever been. You should blame the cheapness of the general populace for encouraging the squeezing of every last penny in ticket prices that results in the explosion of the 28” legroom budget airline market. You’re not entitled to air travel. Don’t like the (lack of) space? Pay for business or first class where the airline actually makes a profit. In the meantime, you better damn well listen to the flight crew’s instructions.

I found a source claiming that the total cost of their nuclearization program was 400 billion Francs (at 1993 inflation): https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-pr...

At an exchange rate of 1 franc (1993) to 1 usd (1993) and 1 usd (1993) to 1.77 usd (2019), this yields a cost of 120 billion dollars. Not bad to decarbonize the electricity supply of a country with a GDP more than 1/8 that of the US.

The nature of construction nuclear plants (and many other engineering products) is that that serial production is cheaper than the first several models, since the cost of development needs to be recouped. There are only 2 EPRs in operation and 4 in construction. By comparison, during the Messemer plan, 30 reactors of the same 900 MW design and 20 reactors of the 1300 MW design were constructed. This isn't counting reactors exported to different countries. Of course first 6 EPRs are going to be more expensive per unit as compared to serial runs in the dozens.
