At the Speed of Money: How Cryptocurrency Will Change Everything
Feminism wasn't just standing around doing nothing. Grifters and frauds exploited feminism and attacked games and game players. Feminists fell for the grifters and fraudsters grift and fraud and dutifully went after game. Then they went after those who defended games. Then they went after those who defended the defenders of games.
Those on the gamers side of gamergate are the only reason the purity spiral was broken. And that includes a very large number of people who weren't originally on the gamers side of gamergate.
Technically it's not even one type or another, eg in Rust, Some(1) and None are values of the same type, Option<i32>. What's different is the tag of the enum, or the data constructor, or whatever you want to call it.
The graphs were in different units. The final Rust version was over 100x faster.
There's no reason why it has to be this way other than DC careers being an absolute rat race. Elections happen literally like clock work. There is no need to get an app out in 2 months; there will always be the next election if the app isn't ready to ship. Plenty of elections have happened smoothly without your app; it isn't necessary.

However, if you are only a campaign manager for six months or whatever and have to prove your worth or else move back in with your parents and spend the rest of your working life fetching coffee and slowly paying for your $200k georgetown political science degree, then yeah that app better be out in 2 damn months.

Rat races don't lead to quality, they lead to desperate people taking shortcuts and making mistakes, and fodder for managers to point to on a slide when they have to appear in front of superiors. Things that woudn't otherwise happen if pressure was lowered and we thought about things like burnout and well being rather than whatever meaningless work-related metric is hot right now. This sort of failure is inevitable in fields operating like this.
Yeah I get that, I don't get what it is supposed to say about the domain. Ie. the real-world facts that the data type models. That's why I approve of separating option types and range types. "Apply to value if it exists" seems like a different operation from "apply to all values"; even if it's the same one on a deeper level, it feels like it's the same on a level deeper than the reality it represents.

I had that happen and I pointed out that the website already had her photos up, and I had mine up. But she was really insistent that she send me a pic anyway so she could prove she was real. Any time someone tells you they're a real person without you asking if they're a real person is a bit fishy.
Alternatively, they could have paid IBM a billion dollars and still gotten an app that didn't work. At least they saved some money?
Yes sure, but the data and interpretation might be meaningless when explained back to humans, it's like a an intellectual showing off with terms and formulas:

"the algorithm did this because ..."
followed by a debatable and unintelligible formula + data + stats that nobody would really understand and a new science needs to be invented to understand and so on
I think that the syntax of a DSL should make a problem easier to work with, like CLISP's format macro. Yeah it's kind of crazy having to learn a whole mini-language just to use a certain library, but my experience with CLISP assures me that this madness is worth it. I prefer to manipulate strings using format rather than try to do it in a real LISP.

From a purely dataviz standpoint, this is a fail. The optimal visualization would allow for all 3 terms to be shown on the same graph, or at least the same page. 3 distinct graphs could be a decent comparison, if the y-axis remained constant. But since it doesn't, every graph peaks at the same approximate height, so really the only thing an end-user, seeking a comparison of similar concepts/terms, would likely find useful is the max displayed value on the y-axis.

I recognize this is little more than a proof-of-concept at this point, so perhaps "fail" is a strong word, but hey, it's what the author chose to submit.
Can you recommend a good book to learn this?
I don’t buy that interpretation. The joke is super old, like, baby boomer old. They weren’t that dark. They were going around saying things like, “In the year 2000, we’re going to have a base.. on the moon!”

There’s no way the people of that generation would have even considered the darker interpretation of that joke. Hell, I’m gen-x, and depressive, and that interpretation never occurred to me.
I was renting out a house in the greater bay area a few years ago. Someone copied the ad word for word, photo for photo, and posted it half price. I was alerted by a suspicious apartment seeker. I think searching CL or even just the web with snippets from the ad could help figure this out.

I thought it was going to be communication or active listening.
I think websites will just go old school: static images and banners. Move it around the website and the blocker isn't going to be able to create a decent rule that isn't going to end up blocking legitimate content. Tracking and fingerprinting can die in a fire, it isn't needed to sell advertising.

That being said, it's not going to ever be prevalent with chrome being like 80% of the browser market, a product of an advertising company.
In my experience, bodyweight training is actually quite efficient in terms of time spent because you do a lot of compound movements that work multiple muscle groups at the same time. You can definitely get a good full-body workout done in an hour and a half.

It can also be less efficient though in the sense that it can sometimes require a pretty big jump in both strength and technique to go from one progression to the next, so you can get stuck for awhile. With weights you can of course just keep adding a little bit more. But the plus side of this for bodyweight training is that apart from just strength, you also get improvements in muscular coordination, balance, flexibility, and body awareness.

You don't really have to choose though--you can do both! They complement each other quite well.
>How is it calculated fairly in the face of "evil landlords [and] corrupt politicians"?

Really? That part is trivial. In the US, your local municipality and/or county has very detailed data on each parcel of land. Occasionally, there is a data error, but if you have ever looked up your assessors records, they are pretty darn accurate. PLus, we all have readily accessible satellite data now.
That is an interesting idea do you know of any tool that can do the websocket to socket translation in combination with an xterm.js webpage?
That's what I meant. It wouldn't be normal for a landlord to ask for the information over an email or something.
> The very term "social justice warrior" is an invention of the reactionary right.

No, it wasn't. It was invented by the Left, unironically. They would call themselves Social Justice Warriors. Many leftists still proudly maintain that they "fight for social justice". Same energy. It was only later that the term was used derisively by the right, putting the term in ironic quotation marks.

It is exactly the same as "fake news"; originally used by someone in the lefty media (CNN?) to deride Fox News, but popularised by Trump against CNN. Or did you think Trump came up with that all by himself?
I wasted so much of my life on this game around 1999-ish. I think one year I looked at my play time and about a third of my waking hours were spent playing.

Got the CTO of the startup I was working at into this game. One day his wife came in and saw me playing and said "Oh, you play this too." And I told her "Yeah, I was the person who introduced So-and-so to it." She hissed out "That was YOU?!" and walked away real fast. Never spoke to me again.
Look around on google a bit to make sure it's a real rental agency and that the website is the same.
I think that is a fair observation, but there is nothing stopping us (well, maybe there are things stopping us) from organising bigger countries into smaller autonomous regions. I think larger countries do not scale well socially to having a single governing body. It works for a lot of things, especially economies of scale for industries and competition perhaps, but I think the best leaders and leadership situations warrant for personal interaction and personal knowledge.

What I also like about this is that it makes leadership a more natural progression where you might say: "I know this person, they are taking my concerns seriously and have our interests at heart." With Trump for example, I would be skeptical of anyone who thinks that he can possibly have all of their individual concerns at heart. And this is not just about Trump himself, but about inherent properties of the US in general. But I guess the question of whether Trump is there because of the US being a big country with inherent populist risks is a good question. One could ask the same question of many presidents before him and so too of presidents of other large countries.
Perhaps, but wouldn't a better example be the actual purity spiral occurring in open source?

Elon Musk Changes Twitter Location to Austin, Suggesting New Texas Gigafactory
Well, there is long and detailed thread at the start of this page that begins with a comment from someone who started a different Democratic political software company and who turned down working on this app.

If you want a tl;dr, though, you might consider that (a) there's a paper trail, (b) the app was always intended to be optional and some precincts weren't using it in the first place, and especially (c) caucuses are not secret votes. That last one is how different campaigns had their own estimates before the official counts started coming out in haphazard fashion. Whatever bad things one can say about the idea of caucusing in general -- and we're hearing an awful lot of bad things -- they're actually pretty damn difficult to rig.

Buttigieg overperformed polling because polling only captures people's first choices. A lot of voters whose first choice candidates didn't meet the 15% qualifying point in the first round switched allegiance to him in the second, and the net effect was that a lot of moderates ended up in his camp rather than Biden's. This end result is probably an "only in a caucus" thing, but it doesn't require nefarious intent.
And brings me back to my years old nag. "Ok, you got GC, fine. But DO give me option to hand free specific memory when I want to. I don't consider hand allocation and deallocation such a pain than GC going wild."

This doesn't only go for Go.
Infantry from Sony Online? It was amazing! Used to play CTF all the time.
Returning them by value is fine. *RVO avoids inefficiencies.

But it would often be better to make a move-only value type, and return that instead.
>I think Georgia might be the most notorious for the behavior you describe.

I don't know if you're baiting me but personally I don't think corruption is limited to Democrats. Particularly if both sides start to believe the other is secretly cheating.

It feels like the American system works when a critical majority are playing with good faith - and that good faith is increasingly lacking.
it failed to reliably report on one of the traditionally pivotal elections in the American election cycle. Which is pretty bad in an era when trust in political institutions is low.

Given the numerous safety standards and qualifications we require of engineers in the most mundane jobs I'm not sure why interns get to write software that underpins the electoral process.
For those of you who work with Node, highland.js is another great route for composable programming. It has excellent support for Node streams, which has made it quite handy with Gulp especially!
Yeah check out https://reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/ as mentioned. There are lots of good resources there and you can find advice on just about anything by searching within the sub.

One arm push ups are way harder than normal ones. It's not something I've tried working on yet myself, but I think you build up by doing things like archer push ups with the other arm assisting less and less until you don't need it anymore.
> if objective

There's where the whole chain of observations breaks down. People whose desired course of action was rejected can rarely be objective about the folks who rejected their advice.
Security concerns? The same article states "the app had to be downloaded by bypassing a phone’s security settings" (emphasis mine)

"I believe that privacy policies should describe how the data will be used, not how it could be used."

Google's policy does not tell the user how her data will be used by Google's customers. The policy states Google will use the data to "provide better services". That is deliberately vague. That is the "purpose", but how exactly is the data used to achieve that purpose. There are no specifics with which a user could object.

Google does not only serve the search engine user, the email user, the YouTube user, etc. Its business is not free services. As such the policy is misleading as to what are the "Services" it may use the data to improve. Google's business is providing online ad services.

The truth is that Google collects data to provide better services to advertisers. The policy reads as if it only collects data to provide better services to users. The "free" services are just bait to draw users in. The data is collected to improve online ad services.

I think they're at a scale now where the cost of running it starts to become important as well.
At least when we're talking about big performance increases like this.
You could instead look at tailoring your ads to your page. Early website advertising was mostly tailored to the content at hand.

If you wrote a blog about leatherworking and wanted some ad money, you could go to a leatherworking tool company and say "I have this much traffic and its 100% people interested in your product because why else would they be on my website reading about this niche leatherworking technique that only you and I and my audience care about, lets make a deal." I bet that pitch would land a handshake.

With streamers/influencers being an entire industry these days, there are probably a lot of boutique agencies who do all this legwork of connecting company with highly specific products to your interested niche audience for you. And if the model changed where this would be how advertising is now done, you would see a lot more of these advertising agents at every economic spectra making these deals on behalf of any sized company or website.
desperate to point out that Microsoft tanked Nokia

What? Not at all!

Nokia was screwed before Microsoft bought them. If they'd shipped Meego on phones two years earlier (start of 2009) they'd have had a chance, maybe.

At the time I thought Microsoft was Nokia's best hope (and Nokia was the best hope for Microsoft's mobile strategy).

I'm pushing back on the idea that Intel would have been some magic lifeline for them.
The OP wasn't being metaphorical in any sense, they were literally describing how caucuses work. If your first choice doesn't meet a qualifying threshold in your precinct, then you can switch your vote in the second round, and supporters of other candidates can literally try to convince you before that round. It all happens in the open with people literally crossing to different parts of the room to caucus for different candidates. The app -- and its failure -- didn't change any part of this process.
You just made me chuckle. At least in SF, Landlords make great lawsuit targets. They have massive assets that are literally unmovable and unhidable. All land/building based financing is highly tracked and easily subpoenable. Just put a lien on the property and payment is pretty much guaranteed. Also damages can be astronomical. I've seen lawsuits end in 500K in damages for a single resident in a single rent controlled unit of a 2 unit building that was illegaly evicted. When you calculate the net present value of the rent control vs. market rent differential, that number is pretty much spot on. Lesson is: don't screw your tenant.
AMD might still be able to offer competitive price/performance. Even if Nvidia is faster, I'm glad there's competition. For a while, Intel was really dominant, and they really stagnated.
What changes have they made?
I'd argue that Microsoft and Amazon's branches were at least tangential to what they were doing in the back-end and that they already have most of the required talents to do it right.

I have no idea how Intel could work their way into running an app store beyond "we have tech and market dudes, good enough right?"
I believe the problem described in this blog has been at least partially addressed in the Go 1.12 release.

Scroll is looking interesting – reminds me a bit of Brave, but with a more specialized “websites renderer”, so to say.

Is there a list of sites they support available somewhere, so that I can see if it's useful to me?
This sounds like a legitimate fear that one could have. I can't really say I share it, tough. Also, at some point one does have to note that economic growth cannot go on indefinitely, although it is quite clear that it still can go on for quite a while, hopefully in a way that is more environmentally sustainable than the current way things are going.

Another thing to note is that current world GDP certainly is not enough because it leaves many people quite impoverished so we certainly still have some growing to do.

What the article talks about is that as the purity spiral tightens, the number of outcasts grow, and can actually re-form the community, while those on the inside consume each other in increased frenzy.

The spiral will always find new victims, go to new heights, so it might be better to refuse to kneel, weather the frenzy, your 15 minutes of fame, and then move on once it passes.

Maybe. I don't know, it would be fascinating to know what the best way to defeat this phenomenon is.
For those who don’t know what a monoid is, like me three months ago, I believe a monoid is something that implements monoidal operations, which are binary associative operations with an identity. Integers have monoidal operations like addition and multiplication. You have two arguments, which don’t matter in ordering, and where an identity like the additive or multiplicative identity exists.
The fault lies in web design more than hardware. When the iPhone came out, suddenly mobile sites had to be created because the device was not powerful enough to run the sort of web design paradigms that were in vogue in 2007.

However, if the iPhone came out in 1997 when websites were mostly static html pages, provided the browser could wrap text, it would be an excellent experience. An iPhone's screen is about the size of a few paragraphs from a newspaper column; it's not tiny, in fact its perfectly sized for ergonomic reading. The most praised reading apps on mobile these days are just a plain background and a block of text consuming the whole screen, with the rest of the ui getting out of your way.
Or they just don't talk about it at work, I sure don't.
I like the format of this post very much. Plain text yet clean and navigatable. Is there any tool for this?

I'm going to assume good faith here, and answer it seriously.

> "clean out the cobwebs"

This isn't specific enough to respond to.

> "get rid of a bunch of old laws"

Which ones, and why? Sure there are probably some like where people can tie up horses or something that aren't especially relevant, but having them there causes no harm because they aren't used.

> "clean up the tax code"

There is no way to do this without creating winners and losers. Choosing who wins and who loses is a political act.

> "take on the public unions"

Taking on unions is one of the most political acts you can do. Whether or not it is "right", unions are a powerbase of some political groups.

> "operational house cleaning that has nothing to do with politics"

What - specifically - do you mean? The two examples you give here are highly political.

No kidding - the instructions for the app itself came with a "secret pin code" printed out on paper for the volunteers to use to install it. Why not just give them a "secret pin code" to call in with to verify who they are, its just as secure.

The story when it fully comes out will be quite interesting. The assumptions that we all are making are almost certainly to turn out wrong in some way - I'm looking forward to trying to compare the ways in which I was wrong on my thinking today given the relatively sparse reporting thus far.
