Mitt Romney and George Will are what conservatism used to be, "these people" are what conservatism has become, what the anti-establishment backlash that started with the Tea Party and alt-right and which continues with Trumpism has turned it into.
I agree that everybody should be open-minded. I disagree these roles can be unified somehow. It is literally impossible to learn everything. I believe there is no such thing as "full stack developer", because it would be such an enormous area to learn, so many things would be required that only very few people are capable to learn it.

What are you talking about. That's people reacting to the announcement trailer for the game. The point being that nothing I could ever produce at Facebook or Amazon would ever produce that sort of genuine reaction from people.
That's mostly a really nice explanation, the one thing that bugged me (which is my pet peeve in math-y CS papers) is a not-perfectly-clear explanation of your variables. The ones in the equations interspersed with the diagrams of the original derivation are easy enough to pick up from the diagrams, but you switched from $n$ to $l$ for the number of inputs in the correct expression (and the Bose paper also used $n$, so I'm not sure why).
If we are considering URLs have entered the realm of regular content we produce/consume as text, then the bug should be fixed by the lowest layer in the stack (dunno if it's the URI library or the OS a browser app or whatever). We can't expect people to understand the concept of a hyperlink while we scold them for not adding a blank space after them (which is stupid, we don't do that in regular text) or something like that. We need to handle URLs gracefully. I have seen legal papers with URLs at the end of sentences multiple times with period marks right next to them because a text editor works like that. The user is not to blame here. In theory the person who sent the SMS is not to blame either, SMS is a text document.

Adding this could add unintended consequences. This is not an easy to solve issue. In reality, this is something that a clear RFC should deal with (or does and I don't know).

Few would argue about fixed costs of libraries, but you be hard pressed to explain how libraries etc. are responsible for the cost of higher ed increasing far far faster than inflation to levels that are increasingly hard to justify. That has a lot more to do with the number of “Assistant Vice Provost of Underwater Basketweaving” type non-teaching non-research roles and positions that have developed over the years at many schools.

It’s a story similar to Healthcare in the US. It’s so expensive because so little is actually spent on healthcare vs paperwork and administration.
You can also render Unity inside of Firefox. Infinite recursion potential.
I found this line from the article particularly interesting:

“The court concluded that the 20 years served are sufficient for meeting the goals of incapacitation, deterrence, retribution, and rehabilitation.”

Deterrence and rehabilitation (yeah, right) I knew were “goals” of the US prison system, but I never realized that “incapacitation” and “retribution” were actual legally-stated goals.
It is if you build Bluetooth scanners everywhere in a city and correlate the scan data with other surveillance data, as simple as pointing a camera at whoever passes by a scanner.

I don’t think the compiler can assume the entire memory range from string to string+size (exclusive) can be read (the ‘C machine’ only reads it up to the first byte ≥ 128), but even if so, the compiler doesn’t know whether bytes ≥ 128 are rare or common, nor does it know the distribution of buffer lengths.

⇒ I think you should only start complaining if the compiler had pragmas to indicate that returning ‘false’ is extremely rare and that size can run in the kilobytes, and the program used them.
I imagine that would make it harder to compare against how it could potentially work for humans. Humans have many medications that they can take to fix side effects that might arise from this, including side effects that can result in death or lower quality of life. Like, inflammation can be fixed with anti-inflammation medication. Not a biologist, but probably you’re expecting too much from mice trials because it seems very much like early drug discoveries compared to human trials.

If you're looking for startup ideas, the best way is to talk to people in your target industry. Setup as many interviews as you can and ask them about what they do and the "pains" they experience doing those jobs.

Not really. When you ignore all the marketing material about "freedom" and such that accompanies a discussion about the US, you see that we are an extremely authoritarian country.

Even if I were to agree that every rioter who destroyed property (or, even less, provoked an agent) "deserved" the exact response they received, which I don't, still I find all the spin with the politically opposite motivation - to legitimize violence by the government against citizens who didn't do anything to "deserve it", to be much more terrifying. For example, I personally know people who think the tear-gassed peaceful protesters outside the church "deserved it". Why? "They're Antifa". Our society is desperately in danger if that's not much more "terrifying" to you than spin whose "terrifying" crime is omitting the property damage a rioter just committed before being violently attacked by federal agents.
I frankly don't understand the definition of "free will" in regard to choice used in those arguments.

Just because we might not be immediately consciously aware of the brain processes leading to our choice, doesn't mean it's not us making the choice.
So? It can't lead to malformed URLs.

Perhaps the Virgin marketing team could go the distance to send U+200C between the end of the URL and the punctuation following it, but I'm not going to.

The central revelation, as I see it, isn't so much about facts or content (e.g. truth, purpose, ultimate meaning) but rather about how flexible the hardware/software package is that underlies our cognition and sense of the world - the experience of your mind behaving in novel ways.

I suppose there's nothing terribly transcendent for observers about seeing Doom run on an iPod, but it's definitely surprising to see how the flexible the hardware/software can be.

Subjectively, though, it can feel pretty transcendent when its your runtime being hacked in new and different ways.

If the iPod had a sense of self like we do then maybe it would be floored seeing itself run Doom (though hopefully it wouldn't confuse Doom for ultimate truth).

"The mind is vaster and more fluid than our ordinary, waking consciousness suggests. And it is simply impossible to communicate the profundity (or seeming profundity) of psychedelic states to those who have never experienced them. Indeed, it is even difficult to remind oneself of the power of these states once they have passed."

This is my route too. I have accounts at 4 institutions with various levels of service.

2 of them provide good rates on savings
1 is local and has ATMs and branches in my area
1 provides a fantastic online experience

Once you've verified accounts between banks, it's fairly painless to transfer between them (and usually free if you initiate the transfer from the bank that will receive the funds)

Works very well and gives me a lot of flexibility with basically no additional work. It takes all of 5 minutes once a month to configure deposits to hit the current winner on interest rates.
Very wrong. Smartphone contact tracing is successful. (e.g. in South Korea.) It's only decentralised smartphone contact tracing that failed.

Like most things in a command economy, they worked on whatever was a political priority.

I'd hazard to guess it wasn't a priority in the intervening years for the same reason there was little free market incentive to address it: yes, it's bad when it happens, but it doesn't happen that often.

Ergo, they were probably just as starved of resources.

The preexisting US effort was mostly funded through DARPA for the same reasons. https://www.darpa.mil/our-research (e.g. ADEPT, P3, Prometheus, PREPARE)
I don't know enough about individual publications to say whether I agree that their ratings are off, but I do like how allsides allows you to vote on whether you agree with their ratings[1] -- and I encourage you to. At least out of their site visitors, there seems to be a decent degree of agreement. I think what they're trying to do is admirable and it's an extra bit of legitimacy that they're willing to admit they're not perfect. If there's a better source for exploring media bias out there, I'm not aware of it.

Very cool! Do you have any sort of dashboard displaying stats for the service? Simple totals would be interesting, of course (size, # of buckets, # of edits, etc.), but I'd find histograms of edits etc. per bucket particularly fascinating.

There are plenty of full stack developers. Just because you work on both stacks doesn't mean you're expected to know everything there is to know about frontend and backend. I've worked at both large companies and startups and I can say that there are a lot of these types of people at startups, especially early stage. It's all about whether you can move that needle forward vs being an expert in everything FE and BE. Also it's worth nothing that most full stack devs at startups can move at a much faster pace than their average FAANG counterparts. Software development moves at a glacial pace at large companies. As a result at startups you're also expected to know infrastructure as well. So you have full stack devs at startups doing all three well enough to make businesses money. More money than they would make paying 3 engineers to do the same thing since at just a lower level of depth than their larger company counterparts would be doing.

> Yes, the question is about which "additional tricks" are legal according to the C standard. That is, what are the limits of what is technically allowed if you are wearing nothing but your language lawyer hat?

I probably should have been clearer, but it is my position the suggested trick (alignment) is definitely allowed by the standard. As you point out, the standard is working at a much higher level and is never going to say anything about memory protection, page size, etc. The program just has to produce the side effects required by the standard (output, etc), and whatever it wants to do to achieve that is fine. Even with my language lawyer hat firmly in place, I can't see any possible reason it would be disallowed: the standard doesn't even have the tools or language in place to even start talking about it.

> I think this means that according to the standard, over-reads must be legal or illegal for a conforming compiler regardless of whether they cause a segfault on a particular real-world architecture. Or maybe the C standard doesn't make any claims as to whether the generated code will actually run on any particularly architecture?

The standard makes no guarantees about any of it. It basically just says "these side effects must occur". How that is implemented is totally up to the compiler and runtime environment.

Note though that what I'm suggesting will "always work" in the sense that the a compiler targeting x86 would produce some x86-specific code that uses alignment and knowledge of the page boundary to avoid faults. This won't fail on some other architecture, because the code wouldn't be compiled in that way on a different architecture. It's not much different than the compiler using x86 specific instructions when compiling for x86: obviously it must do this and this can't work on some other uarch.

Added: I should be clear that this is a valid transformation for the compiler to make, but it is not conforming for a programmer to write a program that does this at a source level!

That is, the compiler can take a conforming program that doesn't make any over-reads at the source level, and compile it to assembly that makes "known safe" over-reads at the assembly level.

However, if you wrote the equivalent of the transformed algorithm yourself, in the source, it would not be a conforming program, because out of bound reads are definitely disallowed by the standard, regardless of what you "know" about the standard. This sort of asymmetry between what the compiler can do and what you can validly write in the source language is pervasive.

> Which rule?

I was a bit loose in my language. I mean the most important rule: that a conforming program must produce the side effects that would be produced by the abstract machine. Informally, that it "works at all rather than simply crashing".

You can write a simple, conforming, program in icc that produces "Segmentation fault" rather than "Hello world" or whatever, which is what other compilers produce and what the abstract machine will produce. This is breaking the rules (rule #1, basically).

Yes, I know "extraterrestrial" literally means "not of this earth" but colloquially in the US it's used to mean the equivalent of "not of human origins" or "alien".

The point I was trying to make is that it's unlikely that any revelations will be about encountering, either intentionally or unintentionally, another culture or technology from outside our own gravity well.
I think there's a spectrum between admiring and fetishising and this article moves too close to the latter for my taste. Even the quote in the article's title had to clean up the author's quote from Space is The Place which --maybe I'm misremembering-- featured a Sun Ra who enunciated every word.
Universities can still cut quite a few costs when facilities are underutilized without letting things decay. Buildings don’t need to be kept at room temperature without people. Most computers and lights can be kept off. Parking lots don’t need to be kept plowed and salted in the winter. Grounds can generally be less immaculate without long term issues. Bathrooms etc don’t need to be cleaned daily when not in use.
I feel like account numbers being transferrable would be worse for potential for fuckups.
Hyperbole. The right’s favorite pass time. Also, thinking their grasp of the English language is great. Ie trump being a perfect example.

This is about language though. Eurocentrism is about making everything relative to what the west thinks, even when it’s “understanding” is very limited. Like going to explore other cultures and reporting back with authority when there’s plenty of local expertise that should be sourced.

Take the theory of decline of the Ottoman Empire as an example to this type of anti-intellectualism, but there so many mistakes to learn from.

This policy may have had a secondary benefit: soccer and sports prowess. We saw in the last world cup that Iceland performed quite well in a tough first stage group against Argentina, Nigeria, and the eventual runners up Croatia.

Iceland was my team since they made it in and USA, with a population 600 times bigger, did not. This prowess in sport was then attributed to their massive buildout of soccer pitches in every area, coaches for ages 5-10 to develop fundamentals, etc.

There is a lot of potential in children, we can help them shine if we devote the resources! The USA has not done this, sadly most of the extracurricular funding is charity or is rich people giving their kids more chances to pad resumes for college apps.

I share this mindset, but I don't love pigeonholing myself to software. If the problem is better solved with a mechanical machine, I'll build that instead. If the problem is best solved by baking bread, I'll do that. Software has its place, but is not the best solution to all problems.
Sensitivity can have advantages and disadvantages, so I would argue more defensively in assessing a "purpose" to a mutation.

I think most people are worried about changing banks because their current bank hits them with annoying fees, and they don't want to double the problem by having two banks. But online banks (along with small local banks and credit unions) do not charge monthly fees. You can open a new account with a small deposit, receive a new debitcard/checkbook, and then slowly transition. The only squeeze you'll feel is the minimum balance requirement at your legacy bank as you split your balance to cover transactions at both places.

It's a shame that the OP went to huge effort to make a mathematically perfect proof, and that wrote such a deceptive article about it.

This doesn't generate anything close to what the author is talking about: it still does character-by-character comparisons.

> If I - and everyone else - could quickly identify which bank/gas station was acting in my interest without colluding, I would immediately switch.

I doubt this would be the case for most people for a couple of reasons.

First, gas stations are pretty transactional businesses that don’t rely on recurring customer relationships to stay afloat, it’s really all about the location. When was the last time you researched all the gas stations in your area and looked for the one that you felt served your interests above all the others? Nobody shops for gas this way.

Second, when gas stations maintain prices as their upstream costs come down to pad their margins, they’re doing so in cents per gallon, not dollars. A customer may save a dollar or two depending on the size of their tank, which isn’t enough of an incentive to stick it to the greedy gas station because you gotta be sure that the next gas station you’re headed to isn’t doing the same thing or costs even more. The gas station, OTOH, probably sees hundreds if not thousands of dollars in extra revenue per day depending on their volume for doing this.
