I agree, but none of this is remotely just or fair without a minimum wage that is a living wage. And what that is needs to be reassessed if policies change the cost of living.
We should trust our noses a lot more. If it smells awful it's probably polluting!
>You aren't required by corporate ethics to be maximally unethical especially when it contravenes the law

agree, I don't expect corporate to be maximally unethical, rather I expect them to be maximally profitable.

>Being perceived as unethical towards your workforce can furthermore hurt

Agree, but if they can find a way to minimize that perception so that the risk doesn't overweight the benefit then they should.
It is hard to trace back the timeline history of all these things, especially as programming languages and their associated paradigms didn't evolve in a vacuum.

With that said, I would say some people would agree that operator overloading and ad-hoc polymorphism are core features of OO languages. In fact, many people learn first about ad-hoc polymorphism through an OO language, such as learning about Java Interfaces or Traits in Ruby.

So in that sense, TypeClasses do relate to OO.

This is where things get muddy. What is OO, what is FP? If you keep yourself stuck in the taxonomy you'll never leave it, because choosing labels is a subjective process. You can put the boundary wherever you want, there is no success criteria.

That said, there are real concentre ideas and implementation strategies. Those are more interesting, but don't get talked about very often.

Some of OOs main features:

- Data encapsulation

- Polymorphism

- Behavior abstraction

And Haskell similarly puts a lot of emphasis on those same features.

So what does one mean if they say OOP is bad? That those features are bad? That would transitively imply that Haskell similarly emphasises bad features?

Now I don't know about everyone, but that's not what I mean if I criticize OOP, I'm not claiming to avoid polymorphism, to get rid of behavior abstraction, and to stop trying to encapsulate data.

So the question is, what's wrong with OOP then? And this is where you'll see that things get nuanced and detailed oriented. And that it's not everything that is wrong, only certain specific things are not ideal and might have better solutions.

And at that point, you can't even speak of OOP generally, you need to speak of specific languages. For example, you could argue that Haskell TypeClasses are a better way to implement ad-hoc polymorphism than Java Interfaces. But someone could say that Self's Traits are just as good if not better than both of those approaches. Etc.

It's editorialized. The original title of the article was changed from this:

"Exploring the marvel that are mountains on the Moon"
That has been achieved largely by outsourcing heavy manufacturing that requires a lot of cheap energy to China.

China one of the highest carbon emission rates per GDP of any large developed nation, but China can't exclusively be blamed for that. China is the "workshop of the world." It's where other countries send their polluting industries to get that pollution out of sight and out of mind, as well as to exploit cheaper labor and a high concentration of manufacturing expertise. China is blasting out CO2 to manufacture products that are exported back to the US, Canada, Europe, and so on, making the latter's carbon emissions look better than they actually are.

I'm not saying China couldn't be cleaner, just that the economy is global and so is this problem. If China switched to cleaner but more expensive energy and took other steps to reduce CO2 emissions, their costs would go up. This would just push manufacturing to whatever countries are willing to ignore climate change.
I think one’s constrained by the chat application’s functionalities. Telegram doesn’t allow a bot to perform such operations on the client, last time I built one at least.

Of course one might be able to use emoji or text as a representation of said state if the game allows for it.

There is a difference between operational secrets and methodological secrets. If you're about to stage an operation against the enemy, do you publish the fact that you're coming? No. But then when the operation is over, there is nothing more to keep secret, and the public can find out what has been done on a timescale that allows them to reasonably cause bad actors to be punished or prevent it from happening over and over.

By contrast, with something like a secret mass surveillance program, there is no "end" where you keep something a secret for 18 months but then everybody finds out about it through official channels, so things like that don't get to be a secret. One way or another the public needs to timely find out what's being done in their name.
Also depends what you mean by rendering. Skia also uses system library for font shaping (CoreText on macOS and direct2d on windows), but also has support for using harfbuzz instead (which works on any platform, even for WebAssembly).
Apple has a bit of a "never give a single inch" strategy to the bad things that it does.

No matter how wrong it is (and, such as this case, where they lost in court), they will fight it to the very end.
Huh. I did the exact same job for a competing park, owned by a fair, and we got paid from when we showed up to the main office to when we ended at the main office.

The only unpaid time was the walk to/from the very back of the parking lot to the main office.
Yeah, the goal has to be photorealistic renders, because what would the control data for the test be if not photos? You can't test one image on a screen vs "what real life looks like". The one on the screen is obviously the rendered one then every time.

Not at all. We have the data. It's called summer. Also, I probably have a weaker immune system than most, and have several risk factors.

We have simply not seen the increases and flare-ups we would expect if what you're asserting is true. What worries me is October-November. This is for Toronto, Canada.

This whole argument seems to boil down to "I don't understand why anyone would want to trade more often than X, therefore nobody should". What's the difference between 5 minutes and any other arbitrary time period, other than hand-wavey notions about "perception"?

I'm still not sure what problem removing my ability to cross the spread whenever I like is meant to be solving.
Convolutions in image processing with Grant Sanderson (3blue1brown)
Our onboarding is quite under solved, thanks for putting up with it.

If you think of Slapdash as sort of an OS, today Spaces are kind of like folders. You can build them manually, or with rules (a saved query). It's a means of organization -- which is complimentary to the problem of information retrieval. It also lets you add arbitrary things to the Slapdash graph (any URL) - which helps with making Slapdash more comprehensive outside of the apps we have coverage for.

You will certainly be able to extend existent commands. We are in the process of exposing our command-building primitives so custom commands can be as sophisticated as the ones we write.

We will improve coverage with the MSFT stack, and the use-cases you mention (launch a zoom call with a person, schedule a meeting with a person) are actually right around the corner.
Or you have to keep it cooled to keep the relative humidity low enough that mold and mildew do not take over.
That may be the original etymology, but to this day Microsoft isn't considered a top-tier tech employer compensation-wise. So lots of engineers saying "FANG" or "Top N" or whatever aren't including Microsoft in it for that reason. So there's basically two different but related definitions going on here, but we're specifically talking about their desirability as an employer, not "the biggest tech stocks".
I was using CDT until WFH started in March. At the time Remote System Explorer appeared to be dead-ish so I went with VSCode. Eclipse CDT is extremely tedious to configure the include paths for because they all have to be entered one by one in a text box. VSCode has a remote system extension and include paths can be entered en masse into a JSON file. I've used both with embedded projects that involve cross compilers. VSCode doesn't know MIPS processors are a thing so some of my linux driver code has unwarranted squiggles. For Eclipse the same constructs are handled by the methods it uses for any code. Eclipse supports its superior features with a lot of reindexing. VSCode supports its features with glorified searches.
Ok, but you know what has a really really direct effect on colds?

There is no chance of stopping this. The challenge is massive even if there were political will, and there is no political will. We need to plan for climate change as a near certainty and start preparing now.
Both can happen. A producer can increase prices unilaterally (that is without an increase in the costs of production). In this case the producer can be undercut by those accepting a greater volume of sales for lower margins. When an increase in the costs of production happens, for a sufficiently spherical cow, the price level will rise across all producers depending on several factors including the elasticity of demand and consumer indifference. In the case of the tax, it is not entirely clear as to which specific case applies. Privately held companies may be more willing to maintain market share by eating a portion of the profits where a publicly held company will have a driving force to maintain its total margin.
Facebook Accelerates SQL at Extreme Scale
Serving SQL queries on a petabyte of data is one thing, but delivering it at Facebook’s scale is something else entirely. Earlier this year, the social media giant implemented the Alluxio distributed file system into its massive data architecture to speed up queries, while maintaining the separation of compute and storage.

To piggyback on this question, I am also curious - would Optimizely choose to go this Enterprise sales route if it weren't for their sky high valuation back in the day. How much of this change was driven by the customers' need vs. a perceived opportunity to grow the company?
A Heavyweight Merger
Managers are generally considered to be agents of the company, so, their actions can legally incur liability on the company. I don't find it that hard to believe that individual store managers might do this, but that word of the practice might not make it up to corporate. This explanation is simple and plausible enough to me that I'm inclined to think it's probably exactly what had been happening.

What do you have against Telegram? Do you have a competing app, or are you concerned about security?

Everybody (atleast on HN) knows it is not e2ee. They don't use it for security. They know Signal is more secure. Telegram has insane features.

I use Telegram for unlimited file sharing, pirating movies not available in my country, bots. nothing personal
Not to mention the mafia ran most of the powerful unions in America before the feds destroyed that type of organized crime.

Vehicle weight is not directly proportional to axle count - a 9 axle semi with trailer can weigh 80,000 lbs or 9000 lbs/axle, a 2-axle car weighs 3500 or 1750 lbs/axle. Alternatively, multiplying axle count by 4.5 increases vehicle weight by 25x - so the two can both be true at the same time, the power just changes whether you use vehicle weight or axle load.

oral Calcidefiol is significantly more potent than vitamin D3, and is a faster way to boost blood Calcidefiol, which is the purpose of ingesting vitamin D.

I assume that the researchers picked it (1) to increase the chances of seeing a significant effect, if there is one, and (2) because if hours are at stake in saving a person's life, the fastest boost may be needed.

Why did having co-workers with an NSA/FBI background dissuade you from working there?
> If they won, yes.

They didn't though. So maybe the shareholders should sue Apple for not working in their interests?

If, as you say, Apple is required to maximize shareholder value, or whatever, then this seems like an excellent example of them failing to uphold that.

This was an obviously stupid decision on Apple's part.
You can experience this directly yourself on a near daily basis right now, here's all you need to do.

- Go on social media and find the endless streams of videos showing mayhem and violence at many of the protests / riots going on throughout the country

- Read the 'news' stories about those events, which rarely describe anything resembling what you see in the videos

Agreed. I worked for a private ambulance company as an EMT and paramedic. We were "represented" by the Teamsters.

Any grievance? Usually resulted in us having to request a steward/rep from multiple counties away, who knew nothing about EMS and had our contract for reference. You would know more about what the issue was or why it was inappropriate that the union rep.

You'd usually have to "pre-game" and explain why a certain thing was appropriate or inappropriate because they were used to representing truck drivers with disputes about haulage, hours, etc., and had no idea about emergency medicine, or DOT provisions for emergency vehicles.

We eventually decertified (or rather, left the union).
Have they announced an estimate of how much a reactor/cost of energy production will be? That’s kind of the most important factor, isn’t it?
It would be a valuable service, but there's probably no money in it. Would it be so crazy to put your business up on eBay or some other auction site? Explain how the business works, what the customer base is, what kind of work the owners and staff do every day, make an offer to buy them out so they can retire.

Probably would end up being used mostly by corporations looking for new places to bulldoze and set up a chain location through. Weeding it out to just people with a passion for running an independent small business would be hard.

Build vs Buy is a very individual decision that should be based on your team and your product.

At my last employer, we used a free tier of CI/CD through CircleCI as it was sufficient enough and easy to spin up for testing a couple of small internal libraries we needed to hook things together with a SaaS product we were using. We weighed the benefits and came up with a number that balanced the estimated cost of implementation and running cost of self-hosted against the free tier offering and estimated cost of implementation there.

Once you factor in engineering costs and the additional server to maintain, it made sense to go hosted for us. But every team is different, and hardware cost isn't the only thing. You need to consider the running cost of utilities, maintenance, and in the case of larger equipment, even cooling costs.

That said, for personal projects, yeah, I just kick things onto my home file server, since it's running anyways, and normally has nearly no load other than managing my ZFS and occasional backup operations.
It's quite bizarre, especially when you consider how inefficient Apple stores are to begin with. They're intended as much for marketing, brand awareness, and a display of gluttony via the impressive modern construction that invites parallels to their premium products and manufacturing quality, as they are for actually selling products. They have way more employees working than they'd need if they just had normal retail workflows with check-out counters (and are also more frustrating to navigate as a customer). They even include entire mini-auditoriums to put on free events, weird seminars and panels and even concerts that nobody asked for.

But making sure employees aren't paid while they wait to be able to leave is a critically important cost-saving measure and worth going to court over?
Do the plastics get released during degradation or do they make up a more tightly bound part of the mixture?
There was Opera, as well.

But with all of these, you constantly ran into IE-only websites. Which got away with it because most people were running IE.

And that's why people are saying that Chrome is the new IE - because we're seeing that history repeating, with websites written only for and tested only on Chrome and Safari (and I doubt Safari would be anywhere if it weren't effectively forced onto iOS users).
> those who can manage their conditions may take offence at being called "malfunctioning" when they did in fact "adapt".

People don't malfunction; bodies do. People are (cybernetic) systems, composed of a mind and a body; but people's bodies specifically, when taken on their own—including their brains, when taken on their own as organs!—are just complex machines, that can have organic diseases. (In the case of the brain, we call these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_brain_syndrome s.)

If your computer spontaneously powers off whenever you open hit your keyboard's "A" key, that's a malfunction. Computers, as machines, aren't supposed to do that. If you avoid ever hitting the "A" key, you might have worked around the problem, but the problem itself is still present—the computer, considered as a standalone machine rather than a cybernetic operator-machine system, is still malfunctioning.

If you have an SNP in the gene DDC, causing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatic_L-amino_acid_decarbox..., that is a malfunction (or manufacturing defect) in your brain-as-machine. You — the mind-body system — might learn to adapt to/work around this malfunction; but that doesn't mean the brain-as-machine isn't continuing to malfunction. A working system can be constructed from unreliable components.

> who is so diagnosed is a lost cause

Who said anything about being a lost cause? For something to be maladaptive, it simply has to reduce inclusive genetic fitness, such that people with the condition reproduce less than people without the condition. That says nothing about whether you can live your life with the condition.

Whatever part of the human brain thinks getting a vasectomy is a good idea, is extremely maladaptive! But that's not to say that we don't prefer things that way. :)
What places have massive scale and are affordable?

This is huge. Not only are micro reactors far more economical, it dramatically reduces the need to maintain a massive nationwide grid and provides flexibility to people in remote areas including greater autonomy. Efficiency should be greater without massive transmission line losses. Might start fewer fires in California too.

How is the conclusion that unions matter when they both had unions?

More likely the cause of the disparity -- because this is actually a difference between the companies -- is that Disney tries to maintain a certain image about the wholesomeness of their enterprise which isn't worth compromising to avoid paying 8% more to workers who still aren't really making altogether that much money, and they also charge enough of a premium to be able to afford it.
I mean, if you wanted to do a short tour (~6-9 months) right now, you could probably start and stay remote for most of that time.

In general, it's really useful to be around the table with stakeholders. In a COVID world, that's less important, but when we get through this, it really does make a difference if people can be in DC.

That said, these times are definitely an experiment in how to do remote work well.
I think the downvotes are about the misinformation, not the questioning!

I would also point out that gas taxes do not fully fund road infrastructure, and typically cover only about half the cost, meaning that road infrastructure is heavily subsidized by other taxes. (Which if course should be the case for infrastructure, but a lot of car advocates mistakenly believe that they are pulling their own weight with gas taxes.)
