Belleville joined the team.
I thought the rule was that ligatures shouldn't cross syllable boundaries. Like the fi in "fine" can be replaced but not the fi in "barfing", so it would need to be a bit more than a lookup table. Or maybe a dictionary-sized lookup table isn't a problem anymore.

I've found that if you restrict purchases to goods in "preowned" condition for a lot of things you basically get the same Ebay as before.

The tricky part is that there's a lot of people selling preowned goods as "new", usually they're items they purchased or received as a gift they never used. I think they're trying to emphasize the unused nature of the items, but nowadays they just get lost in the noise of direct-from-the-factory items.

The TV zeitgeist is gone.

People used to all watch the same shows at the same time.That made it the thing everyone had in common.

Now TV is more like reading books. Everyone does it n their own time. It's still a big things, but it doesn't create a nationwide community.

On top of this, you're also getting old :)
Do you believe the regulations are sufficient for protecting people from FB? Do you believe that FB is operating in good faith and not finding alternative means by which to gather and exercise the soft power that comes with hosting a private, global currency?

I tend to lean against regulation but this is one of those cases where I wouldn't mind seeing FB somehow banned from anything related to currency.
My apologies, when you said "ad hoc dismissal", I assumed you meant the fallacy. Your phrasing was an appropriate way to state that someone had committed that fallacy.

I took his meaning as "assume better hardware will be available in the future", which is not what you seem to mean, and may not be as true these days anyway.

That said, when I've seen people over-engineer things (and maybe this isn't your problem, it's just what I've seen most) it's usually because instead of solving the problem in front of them, they created a flexible framework to solve a class of problems including the one in front of them. And it usually fails because they don't actually know what other problems they'll encounter - they guess and get it wrong. So their framework is flexible on Dimension X, but they actually need it to be flexible on Dimension Y.

The best advice I read on this was to never build a framework until you have at least 3 examples of the problem. Once you've got 3 examples, you have a good feel for which ways it needs to be flexible. I would add that you should also make sure you'll eventually have more than 3, because if 3 is the total number of concrete examples you still don't need a framework.

Also, it's entirely possible some smart guy/gal can give you those 3 examples before you even start building. A good product person can do that. If you have that, and they're pretty sure you'll actually get there, then go ahead and build it.

Difficulty of changing it in the future also plays into this, but I've typed too much already. :)

There is an absolute dearth of tools, especially modern ones, in this space, but the tools to generate call graphs have existed for quite a while. Egypt will parse output from gcc and output a dot file for gnuplot/Graphviz. There may also be D3.js support in places.

I agree we need visual tools, especially when trying to maintain a large codebase, but only the largest companies can sponsor development of an in-house tool for their codebase, and many of them won't. Maintaining code isn't sexy and doesn't make for new features to sell.
Don't make the mistake I did: do not delete python2 from Linux. My python environment on my Linux box was hopelessly messed up, so I thought I'll delete all python installations and start afresh. I did not realise how much Linux(Ubuntu) depends on python2. When I attempted to do an apt install, it started deleting all kinds of programs in /bin, /usr/bin and so on. The machine wouldn't boot up. It had to be restored from scratch. But it did achieve the original objective of having a properly functioning python :)

If someone can explain this dependency of the package management system or the behavior I saw, I'd be very grateful.
You can easily convince me that formal methods are more efficient for complex distributed systems problems, or for cryptographic protocols, or things like that. But even in systems whose whole premise is algorithmic, the hairy stuff provers are designed against are a small part of the overall coding task.

And for the kind of security this article is talking about, it's not enough to have a proven core algorithm or protocol; your dumb input parsers and output renderers and all that other boring integration code also needs to be bug-free, because those kinds of joinery are where we tend to find vulnerabilities.

Not now. The US produces lots of oil, but they do it through fracking - which is more expensive.

The experience of the Chinese was nowhere near that of a poor Irish or Polish worker. That is a blatant rewriting of history.

As long as I am given the option to purchase content without advertisements I will do so. If I can't watch a piece of content without ads, I'll either wait until I can or pirate it. Usually the former.

Frankly I think content is just overvalued and the actual creation of content is extremely inefficient, from a financial point of view. My personal experience has been that Hollywood film/television studios are poorly run businesses with massive losses at each point in the process, but is laden down by individuals who do things because it's the way it's always been done, are hostile to innovation (both technology and in business), and are anti-consumer, anti-viewer, and frankly anti-making-money.

It's honestly a terrible industry and needs to be disrupted. Market distortion is the only reason films cost what they do, from production to distribution and consumption. And literally everyone in the pipeline has an incentive to keep the market distorted, except people who watch content. Thank god for piracy.
ICQ makes me miss old software in general. In particular, programs that didn't roll their own GUI framework and just used vanilla UI widgets. Stuff that didn't bring in massive frameworks, just simple MFC/winforms apps that were peppy and seamlessly fit into the OS UI.

I thought about those when writing the post. I chose not to list those simply because they made the discussion more complex, to the point where a post would have turned into an essay. I didn't want to single out Asians (or lump them together), but I also didn't want to get into that.

The two groups you list face more discrimination than most Asians precisely because of the assumption you list: they're perceived to be native, and cultural allowances aren't made, but the cultural differences are huge.

That's especially true for what you call "Southern Rednecks," of whom you will find approximately zero at e.g. elite schools, mostly due to this sort of discrimination.

Netflix's just drop the whole season model has cost them a lot in public discussion and hence hype, some of their shows are now released in a weekly format to better capture the hype cycle.
Yes and no. Testing is a very important part of agile, yet if you don't have a somewhat final internal design, you will find yourself changing your unit tests every time you refactor your code. As a rule of thumb, changing your unit tests is a no-no.

First off, it means your code is brittle. Second is that you can't trust tests that must change every time your code changes. Might as well not even have them.

Unit tests are supposed to tell you if your refactoring is still working. For the most part, you should only refactor implementation details, not the "API".

There is also a design to uncertainty trade off. The less you know about something, the less time you should spend designing because you can't design something you don't understand. But the more your understand something, the more time you should probably spend designing.

Knowing how much design is too much is subjective and personal. I forget where I read it, XP(Extreme Programming) or Code Complete, but someone worth listening said, to paraphrase, "I've never regretted spending more time on design before I started coding". And I'm pretty sure it was part of XP that said the main purpose of XP(Agile) is to deal with the unknown. The more you know, the less Agile and the more waterfall you should be, saying that for some projects, a 6 month sprint is perfectly valid.

I am in an interesting situation where I am both the programmer and the domain expert. Generally customers come to our team describing a problem that other companies can't figure out. We're pretty much allowed to design everything how we feel like because we're the best at it. We can do virtually any project in a single go of it without feedback from the customer, but we still do agile because it helps with scheduling, planning, prioritization, etc.

We're a "value add" team, which makes things really interesting. None of our work is sold, but the work is important to land large contracts for the companies core services.

It's an attractive, succinct way to mislead people about the value of formal methods and their potential.

Synthesis from specifications completely fails to address omissions and errors in the specifications, except insofar as they get translated to something that is more evidently wrong, or are revealed to be inconsistent.

When the economic model's enthusiastic practitioners turn it into a political platform, what's the rest of us supposed to do?
Checked some episodes from some shows I had available, first seasons, DVD or Bluray source:

Miami Vice (1984): 48m

Homicide Life On The Streets (1993): 47m

TekWar (1994): 45m

Nowhere Man (1995): 45m

Battlestar Galactica (2003): 44m

Dark Matter (2015): 43m

12 Monkeys (2015): 43m

Lucifer (2015): 43m

There are exceptions though. Legion (2017) episodes are around 50m, and several of the newer "made for streaming" shows have 50-60m episodes.
The current city doesn't work anyway. A lot of our development patterns were born of seeds planted in the 1950s during an era when the nuclear family -- with a male breadwinner, female homemaker and 2.5 kids -- was the assumed standard basic "economic unit" and one male breadwinner provided adequate money, healthcare benefits, etc for multiple other people.

Suburbs grew out of the idea of a separation of the public and private spheres. Please note the assumption there is that it separates them for the male breadwinner.

The female homemaker de facto worked at home. Most women's work -- cooking, cleaning, raising kids -- is done at home and is generally not assumed to be anything like paid work that needs to be regulated as a profession. Yet it is essential work, critical to the health, welfare and productivity of the world.

With people living longer, marrying later, having fewer children, living many years after the kids grow up and move out, etc. this model breaks down. As the world has generally moved more towards two-earner couples, a house in the suburbs has gradually turned into a nightmare we don't know how to escape because, at least in the US, it's our default assumption for a good home looks like and most of our financing and tax benefits etc are aimed at that type of home, so it is a large share of our good housing stock. Attempts to find alternatives, such the Tiny House movement, have largely not worked all that well.

We need to re-envision our social fabric. This baked-in, unstated assumption that most people are part of a nuclear family with multiple children and one partner doesn't need a full-time paid job is very much out of date. It's mostly no longer true and, unsurprisingly, the built environment we created to accommodate that lifestyle works rather poorly for all too many people today.

So that's where we need to start. And it is very much bound up with car ownership and car use because the single family detached house in the suburbs assumes you have a car and assumes a family of five only needs one car.

When mom and dad both work and the neighborhood has a dearth of children for your only child to play with, the social fabric that lived when I was a child in a neighborhood full of kids cease to exist and the road are congested and people are both time stressed and financially stressed.

This is the crux of a lot of the problems with the world today. We built a world for the parents of the Baby Boomers, in essence, and we haven't updated it. Demographics have changed, yet we continue to try to force-fit this shoe and wonder why it pinches so very badly, to the point of being crippling for many people.
> The employment adjustment subsidy has not proved popular so far, partly owing to its complicated paperwork and the roughly one-month wait for processing applications. In the current crisis, just 985 companies had applied in the two months leading up to April 17

The wait time on this seems very long. I wonder why? Lack of staff? I guess its good that they already had a program going, instead of having to build one from scratch or do what the US has done and partner with banks (Which seems to have also been plagued with hurtles)
Evidence?!

My grandma tested positive two months ago. They CLAIMED she recovered. But. two days ago she had a stroke while getting her chemo treatment for pancreatic cancer. On her 97th birthday no less. If only she had kept her mask on instead of briefly taking it off to blow out the candles. THtis virus is s killer, and you can downvote me all you want, but this is NOT the flu and if estimates of deaths found on Hacker News two months ago seem hysterically absurd, it's only becaue we've yet to count the hundred of throusnds dead people undiscovered in their apartments and homes.
Doxygen can generate similar diagrams with C/C++ code: http://doxygen.nl/ At a former employer, we made it part of the CI pipeline and the class hierarchy diagrams and call diagrams were great for newcomers to get oriented with the codebase.
Can only speak for tech.

Nope, not envious.

Early in my career I felt fear. PhD/etc are thrown around as status symbols and I felt inferior to my colleagues with an honours/master/PhD. I also knew there was no way I could overcome this difference without investing years and money (that I didn't have) into that education.

Later in my career I felt distrust. I realized just how little a strong academic background contributed to solving real business problems. What I mean is there was little correlation, not that academics weren't good contributors in general. I witnessed inferior contributors with a stronger academic background being chosen over superior contributors with a weak academic background.

Now I just don't care.
> We know from the cruise ship data like the Diamond Princess that most people had no symptoms initially, but overtime most people became symptomatic [1].

Your wording is too strong. Data is 50% asymptomatic at time of testing, paper models that that number dropped to 20%.

> from paper
on 19 February and 50.5% (320/634) on 20 February (Table). Soon after identification of the first infections, both symptomatic and asymptomatic cases were transported to designated medical facilities specialised in infectious diseases in Japan. However, these patients were treated as external (imported) cases, and a detailed description of their clinical progression is not publicly available.

We conducted statistical modelling to derive the delay-adjusted asymptomatic proportion of infections, along with the infections’ timeline. The estimated asymptomatic proportion was 17.9% (95% credible interval (CrI): 15.5–20.2%).
Great piece. I'm sad there's not more discussion here. As an engineering manager who has managed at 3 companies, this strikes a number of chords.

Apple has such a great lead with their processor line I can't help but wonder if at some point Qualcomm will swallow their pride and hire the same engineer who buffed AMD's and Apple's chips: Jim Keller.
I would guess that VR googles that can gray out billboards, etc will likely first get used by governments to keep people from seeing protests. What would previously have been anti-government protestors will be changed by the googles to show them holding pro- government placards. Police brutality will be censored by the goggles. You will get in huge trouble if you go outside without your goggles.
Have you been reading the mass comments/tweets on political stories lately? Some of it does seem bot-like to me. I don’t have a strong opinion about how much this is happening. But I know I could personally run a bot that generates political spam with GPT-2. I know a lot of people want to influence the political conversation. I mean, people get paid salaries to write comments online. So I can’t help but suspect that someone is using tools that allow it to be done a lot more cheaply.
I dunno, I really enjoy building dev tools that scratch my own itch. Others are always missing something that’s important to me.

It’s only certain rights we treat like that—nobody is yet bold enough to suggest suspending double jeopardy because we have really good evidence the second time.
Very true. The non-quantitative client facing jobs at places like Goldman Sachs don’t really need very smart people... they need people who can comfortably speak with and engender trust with the descendants of Rockefellers etc. Right now Harvard is where you get that stamp but if Harvard becomes a place mostly for kickass Asian students to excel in math and computers then the Goldman Sachses will start using a different imprimatur like the right polo camp or similar.
I agree, yet I think it's for the best. Apple has not been a motivated steward of the Mac Unix layer, so it's best for them to get out of the business entirely, and make space for the community to converge on a standard package manager.
You'll have to be more specific about GameFAQs. I use it extensively to track Game Boy game credits and release dates and it never fails to amaze me how much information is on there.
