Centrism is - I want it all position. Donald Trump is practically a centrist.
There may also be some in between conformism/aggressive and having in different cases and different times.

"I sometimes ask students what their position on slavery would have been had they been white and living in the South before abolition?" My own response to such question might be, "How should I know? Such a thing is counterfactual and I do not know the answer."

I believe the discussion of ideas should not be banned; we need full freedom of speech and discussion of ideas. (Especially to complain about the government is necessary.)

Tarvuism: The Official Internet Website of the Tarvuist Faith (2008)
These consulting companies are often referred to as "mass recruiters" in most engineering colleges. I went to one such school too, and the the qualifying test/interview was a couple of CS101 questions, and was the default option of employment for anyone who wasn't joining any other organization (this also included good mechanical, chemical and civil engineers with little to no CS background, but the market had slowed down at the time, and they had to resort to IT jobs).

This might not be the case for every firm or client, but I hear a lot of my friends complaining about there not being very little work, and if you're someone competent enough, you can complete a day's work in an hour and play Fortnite for the rest of the day.

I don’t think apps can be called more efficient. A good majority are just web wrappers anyway. I’ve tried the twitter app for example multiple times and it always causes iOS to lock up when changing apps. It’s the only app that does it and extended use causes the phone to heat up.

Websites can have ad blockers too which I’d argue make the web versions way more efficient.

> commercial banks are the ones which create money (through credit).

And they are only able to keep doing that because central banks create new money to bail them out if they are ever in danger of failing.

You can absolutely sustain an economy under deflation, just not a fractionally reserved banking system.

> I have a working theory that any software used by programmers will eventually get excellent (or be replaced with something excellent). And everything else stays vaguely mediocre.

Hmmm... I think.. sometimes. There's also software that gets excellent, becomes big, becomes profitable, and squeezes out everything else. Then becomes mediocre. word and google docs?
The problem is most people are spectators in their own country, not citizens. And they do have the luxury of apathy. It may very well be true they consider having an opinion on civil matters too strenuous, meaning it would take them away from the daily entertainment, the need to get attention, rather than paying attention. There's nothing to be done about it really. It's a kind of corruption and a cultural rot. George Carlin called these people dumbass motherfuckers. And I think that's diplomatic. Bullshit jobs, bullshit life, they are there to earn money only to spend it all to enrich someone else. It's so terrible they can't even be bothered to have an opinion about how civil society is organized, because really what they're living is something of a nightmare. They are so ignorant, they have anti-imagination. You give them an idea by historical reference, and it's instant annihilation, and time for more bonbons. The capacity to have a conversation just doesn't exist.

And there were all kinds of ignorant kids, grew up in podunk poor towns, but still had an opinion about the civil and the uncivil. They were certainly political. And they volunteered to fight fascism and quite a lot of them died for it. Now, fascism is just name calling. It's not a real thing that exists, or could exist. It's just politics, which is also unimportant and mostly make believe. It's something that his site considers anti-intellectual.

So when people intentionally refuse to think and wilfully run from fundamental truth, the situation is pretty dire. Apolitical is indistinguishable from apathy. Perhaps some part of it's cognitive dissonance, that at least suggests there's an awareness of a conflict that matters enough to ignore because it's more comfortable.
Not over federal agents. Same reason why Arkansas couldn't prevent the Eisenhower administration from using US Marshals to enforce desegregation in Little Rock in 1957. (Or Army paratroopers, as per the Insurrection Act of 1807.)
I guess that's plausible. But on the other hand Twitter got plenty of red flags with this attack but still struggled to stop it. And is our goal detection or prevention?

Your argument stating that communism is evil everywhere its implemented is ridiculous - communism exists at varied scales, so of course, there have been huge authoritarian states, but also many communes, worker cooperatives and cities which didnt turn out like the nightmare you make it to be.

That means you've already started. ;-)

I think it's hard to give recommendations regarding learning of RE in general, as I mainly do it a "scratch an itch" and "learn as you go" type of thing --- whether you need to interface with an unknown file format, change the behaviour of a piece of code, change a message in a UI, automate an aspect of a web app, etc. the exact knowledge you'll need will vary widely. However, in all those circumstances the basic idea is to gather knowledge about the target to get a vague understanding of how it works, and then dive in with the specific tools/knowledge you've gathered.

> And Keynes got to contrast the U.K.'s monetary policy with France's moderately inflationary policy. France made it through the Great Depression relatively unscathed.

That is reducing a comparison of the French and English economies down to 1 variable. It is unlikely (nay, practically impossible) that inflationary vs. deflationary policy was the biggest difference between the two.

It is like saying inflation policy was the biggest difference between Japan and the US in the 90s. One of those countries had natural resources, favourable demographics and a fire-hose of migration. The other had limited resources, unfavourable demographics and migration-hostile policies. Their legal systems and approach to corporations was completely different. There are a large number of important variables when comparing the two. Monetary policy is important but not the be-all and end-all.

One is going to be better than the other, but 'Country A did X and did well, B did Y and did badly' isn't an argument. There is too much going on.
English has an unusually large vocabulary, many words with very specific meanings.
All of these algos have the characteristic that a human is statically deciding on the algo/thresholds. I think there is an opportunity for some AI here, that's all I'm saying.
You'd think so... but modern hardware rarely cares about that. Especially once you get into power delivery subsystems, things that can change voltages. Flip the wrong bit and your chip is toast. This is especially prominent on embedded systems like smartphones.
> But governments usually err on the over-interventionist side. When you look at the world you can’t help but notice this pattern, it is really that obvious.

There can be 3 classes of errors with interventions; 1) intervening when it is not warranted (over-intervention), 2) not-intervening when required (under-intervening) and 3) intervening in a way that ends up not working out (intervention-outcome mismatch).

I think most of the errors are type 3, which are most liable to mis-identified as "over-intervention", but they are not. Mismatched interventions do not prove that there is a magical essence to real-world markets that render them infallible, dynamical, adaptive, self-correcting systems.

A simpler explanation to all this is that it is really hard to come up with the right interventions for the market, but also markets really need interventions when they need it.

Long term poverty in certain areas; Leading to poorer education systems; Resulting in less than stellar academic attainment; Resulting is lack of experience.

If I put out a simple coding test and some people cannot crack it - I'm not going to check if my 2+2 test is unfairly biased towards people with red hair.

Did you know, for example, that even fairly wealthy black American families are less able to educate their kids to the same level as white American families?
Because access to proper education and parental education levels matter a lot. Because kids growing up in poor areas will get lower levels of attainment. Because long term poverty matters.

Breaking that education barrier takes more than one generation.

It's just impractical to have a team do n-web/android/iOS and a multitude of microservices, so that's why they divide them into teams. Applications and business needs are increasingly complex for enterprise applications.

The result would be better (full-stack), but there's no time to deliver features quickly by market standards.
I work as a Software Engineer in Japan. We have a lot of "non-standard" abbreviations and phrasings too. Here's a few that come to mind:

It's Unity; I just checked my local copy.
The last company I worked for was very much an “API first” company. We were a B2B company and our APIs were used by our relatively lightly used website. But they were also used for sporadic and large ETL jobs when files from customers came in and most importantly we sold access to our APIs that were used for our customer’s mobile apps and heavily trafficked website.

We went microservices for the canonical reason you should - to be able to release and scale independently.
“Trickle down theory” has not been “debunked” by economists because it’s not an actual economic theory. It’s a pejorative used to criticize tax cuts.

Also the fact that technological progress/experiment typically (but not always) targets the top end of the market and works its way down is not controversial.

This phenomenon is also not what most people mean by “trickle down economics” as it relates to the pejorative against tax cuts which, again, isn’t a real theory peddled by credible economists.

Seconded. 50 years ago diesel engines were too heavy for light aircraft, but the weight problem with diesels has been solved.
By teaching the current school aged kid's to program.

I seriously think the world would be better off if programming were seriously taught in schools, on a level equivalent to language, math, science, etc.

If we start with Scratch in early grade school and work up to C in high school, so many more people would be comfortable and efficient using computers, and would have the understanding necessary to understand the legislation of tech.

This would take a decade+ to pay off/have the bank tellers know to program, but it seems like the best long term plan.

The Redis protocol uses length prefixes for bulk strings and arrays (per your linked document). That enables it to read multiple bytes at a time off the socket, though it does seem like you'll still end up doing a bit of character by character processing with the result.

RESP uses prefixed lengths to transfer bulk data, so there is never a need to scan the payload for special characters like it happens for instance with JSON, nor to quote the payload that needs to be sent to the server.

The Bulk and Multi Bulk lengths can be processed with code that performs a single operation per character while at the same time scanning for the CR character, like the following C code:
lol wow!

> The same will likely happen to the 2 billion+ fines they gave Google.

> Truth is, they're too big, and at this point, can't be stopped. Laws won't work, fines won't work. They haven't so far, and I doubt they will in the future.

First of all, Google has paid their EU fines. Secondly, I think you misunderstand the nature of what's going on with these fines. A combination of strong trade agreements and savvy tax jurisdiction selection has left most EU countries with little capacity to tax US tech companies, so they have resorted to fines. The play is old hat at this point. Pass a piece of vague legislation that probably applies to the target company's activities, then fine them before clarifying the law to the extent that the company can actually avoid breaking it. Rinse and repeat. The EU fined Google a few billion dollars last year, and the year before, and now this year, and they will surely do it again next year and the year after that. This is just a roundabout means of taxing Google. It will of course never change anything about Google, except that each year once the law is clarified Google's lawyers will make sure that they are scrupulously no longer violating this year's new regulation, but the extent of the regulation and the value of the fines is calibrated to not be so high that it would actually drive Google to extract itself from EU jurisdiction.

Now that it's clear they've lost their tax battle with Apple I expect the EU will begin fining them as well.

ok I've re-read - I think he's just talking about roles not application structure, so my comments below were off point.

As a consumer, I have more faith in the behaviour of a browser than I do of a random app, or at least more confidence in the many eyes that will alert me to problems by browser could pose, and from that more faith in my ability to constrain the behaviour of a browser. So I would rather use a website than install a native app. As a developer, I don't trust that any request that comes to my API is an appropriate, well structured request that came from my front end code. This is why I separate back from front. My front end is my emissary to a potentially hostile land.

I've seen rate cards for quite a few bpo providers and major it body shops, and unless it's like an extreme case (Chennai and one or two other cities), the devs are getting slightly less than 10% of their billed rate, the rest being overhead.

Hell, I look at the delta between what my firm bills me out for and what I take home, and it's about 12% of my fully loaded day rate.

How can I stop getting so much tooth decay?
Tooth decay is caused due to lack of dental cleaning and hygiene. It is necessary that you brush your teeth two times a day, floss everyday to deal with tooth decay. Also, eating sticky, sugary food is a bad habit. Eat healthy food which is also good for your dental health. Avoid alcohol, smoking etc. habits that influence your dental health. This will help to prevent cavities and thus tooth decay. Visit the dentist from time to time.

I did mention that not one part of that comment is actually specific to being POC. The comment lacks the subject that explains where that matters. Without that relevant context, the first few words seem to be just a shield from criticism. I suspect that that is a slip by the OP, but it is easily interpreted as "I'm POC, so shut up"

For example - As a gay man I notice subtle prejudice against me in the use of "gay" in negative connotations. (being gay is relevant to the experience here)

This particular code cannot be effectively optimized because of the early exit inside the loop. What if `size` was enormous and the first character was negative? One extra byte of lookahead might SIGSEGV! So it must gingerly step one byte at a time.

Rewrite it to always consume the full string, and it goes 8 bytes at a time: https://godbolt.org/z/xG7avr

In practice the best implementations will manually align and then unroll.
