So,

- the un-conscious processes are fully deterministic.

- all consciousness is a post fact [deterministic] process.

- [thus] free will and control are illusory.

The first thing that jumps out here is: what purpose does consciousness serve in this system?

You have effectively reduced consciousness to the status of the appendix of the psyche: an entirely useless thing with the defining feature of having an entirely erroneous perception of the state of affairs.

Related to that then is the fact of the existence of a boundary between conscious and subconscious content of the psyche.

I assert that your position compels you to hold the very boundary between consciousness and subconsciousness to be "illusory" as well. It is in fact this 'illusion' of 'being' that has driven your ego to pretend to godlike powers such as choice, and will.

Are we even having this conversation? ;)
> We don't expect Microsoft to develop its proprietary APIs out in the open despite it having a large presence in the open source world, why would we of Apple?

.NET is fully open-source now and it is developed in the open. And not just the BCL, but also platform UI/UX libraries like [WinForms](https://github.com/dotnet/winforms) and WPF.

(Yeah I was taken aback too: if you told myself from 10-15 years ago that WinForms would be open-sourced under the MIT license I'd think you were mad - or that Microsoft went out of business after the Year of the Linux Desktop really happened and open-sourcing everything was their swansong).
Yale has a `student income contribution`, where students on finanical aid are expected to work in some term-time jobs. However these jobs are virtually all administrative (doing paperwork, making calls, etc.), research or teaching assistant-ships. I have not heard of poorer students doing any cleaning.
>Strange and me thinking that one of the selling points of Android Studio and XCode was RAD support for mobile native apps.

Strange, and me thinking I've already covered that:

"as for native apps, most focus on iOS or Android (rather than desktop native). Somehow RAD native apps became the forgotten stepchild."
Suzukawa Editor (Japanese shareware) is interesting project. It claims it's the best editor for huge gigantic file. It compares with EmEditor in official page and it performs unmatched performance.

I haven't used this because I have no chance to edit such gigantic files.

This is a world ranking with other editors by the author, maybe others are suitable for non Japanese users.

It’s an effect of American imperialism and global hegemony. That’s why calling it American crap isn’t a misnomer.
You can buy "passive DNS" which is anonymous records of DNS queries and their answers.

So e.g. you can see that the answer for www.google.com was 2a00:1450:4009:81a::2004 for somebody at about 0200 UTC today, but the people providing this data don't provide (and in some cases may not know or be contractually obligated never to tell) "who" asked that question and got that answer.

So this is pretty useful if you're trying to figure out which DNS names exist (as a startup I worked for were doing) and if they have AAAA record then you get all those records.

If you've got a deliberately public IPv6 server it's very likely it can be found by this sort of method.

Do your maths again though. The smallest allowed conventional subnet in IPv6 is 64 bits wide. So surveying "closely related subnets" is 4 billion times more work than surveying the entire IPv4 Internet.

If there's a machine with IPv6 privacy addressing on a "closely related subnet" you're just never going to find it by brute force.
I mean reproduce and improve/expand the dataset instead of training models.
Hardware can fix that. I'm on latest MBA but I see no problem with performance. Recent hardware does have gigs of RAM to waste.

Once IntelliJ is running, which takes less than 10 seconds, projects open instantly. Probably even better on desktop machines.

Frankly VS code isn't good enough yet. It's the best if isn't for JetBrains but for instance, SQL queries are still just a string (unless I've missed the obvious plugin to allow me to auto complete column names and such according to the live database schema) but IntelliJ can highlight, auto complete and check errors once I register my database (also through ssh tunneling).

I do like VS code being faster but feature wise, I only use it to edit server config files through sftp plugin.

In 5 years, maybe JetBrains might feel pressured from competitors.

But it's only less than $15/mo if you pay annually and from 3rd year for their all products pack.
When the function gets sufficiently long and with sufficiently numerous 'arcs' (different bundles of if-statements that may be triggered under different conditions), how do you test the code change you're making?

Would testing it be easier if it were broken out further?
Capitalism requires liberalism. Illiberalism just doesn't make sense when profit is the question.

In a capitalist system, we're a liberal society because we _have to_ be. Don't take my word for it, read some John Locke - the Father of Liberalism.
> It was never a "meritocracy".

Of course it wasn't meritocracy since it was cronyism and nepotism like what happens at Berkeley. But neither is "affirmative action", a racist policy which isn't going to end nepotism and cronyism, just make things even more arbitrary. No need to be an "athlete" now, just put "latino" or "black" on your registration form and don't forget the bribes. That's the system you are rooting for.

> [grades] are so important for the rest of one's career

This isn't really true beyond specific gates (college admission, grad school administration) and for a couple of years after you graduate. 5 years after graduation no one looks at someone's college grades.

> Lots of people care about sports but that's partly cause lots of people in the past cared and baked it into our culture.

What does this mean? Sport is baked into culture but that's because people still like it. And the changing popularity of different sports (eg MMA 25 years ago vs today) shows that this isn't some forced behavior - people like watching and participating.
Oops, you "forgot" this part of the study:

Yup. There are myriad logistics issues at play here. The tricky part is regulatory and legislative side of it. That's where the politics come in.
That doesn't contradict my point at all. Narayana Guru's and others' work just helped stave off overt display of casteism. The practitioners just switched to covert discrimination - very much like in the CISCO case. Along with that started this effort to deny its existence to resist the very much needed reforms.
> The admissions office is somewhat decoupled from the rest of the institution, and receive fixed salaries -- this problem does not exist.

It's not the admissions office that that was targeted at. The donations today go to programs, buildings, etc -- things that involve lots of administrative staff and leaders who are payed executive-level salaries. This should all be going to support students and educators.
Don't sweat it Cliff. My kids have a low opinion of me too.
Love your work BTW!

Here's a good one for you about the younger generation:
“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”

― Socrates
I don't think legitimizing magical thinking is going to help here in the short term (gaining their trust) or long term (improving their mental health). You don't have to understand it or pretend to understand. This is about amenably resolving a hostile work environment and so its best not to veer off course. I would focus on finding resources to keep this employee housed during off hours so they can leave instead of having fits in front of their colleagues.
to provide a concrete example, openai severely gated the number of beta users for GPT-3. by partnering with microsoft, hopefully they can throw open the floodgates and allow most everyone in. for instance, i applied 3 weeks ago and still haven't heard back. (could anyone from openai kindly share an available invite?)

I wasn't saying that the grades themselves are important for the rest of anyone's career. They're important for determining what happens to you right after school -- how good of a grad school or job you get -- which has exponential returns for the rest of your life.
Haha it’s should be the same - but maybe that’s because I learned French in Canada.
I was about to comment that, it seems pretty impressive, that alone makes it pretty compelling if it can actually achieve that in real world use. I'd love to see that kind of range trickle down to the lower priced vehicles, or even other manufacturers. A 200+ mile range Nissan leaf is pretty much instant buy for me.

IntelliJ isn't really the IDE for dicking around with ideas. Projects or not, it's just too fat. I am an IntelliJ diehard myself and I usually have a copy of Sublime Text open as well, usually to use it as a scratch space, to peek at logs or somesuch, or for playing with code that isn't quite yet in a runnable state.
Isn't there some observed regression to the mean with children of high-IQ couples, though? I can't help but think of that part in Idiocracy where the high-IQ couple ends up dying before they can have even 1 kid while the regular-IQ guy is impregnating multiple women multiple times.

Not to mention that high-IQ is itself by definition less common...

Also, I think a "fair" meritocracy is still possible because merit isn't necessarily dependent simply on G; dedication and moral fortitude contribute greatly to merit in companies as well as societies, in my opinion.
That is really messed up, i guess one thing you learn through history is that missionaries were in cahoots with the states they represented. I remember reading that a common tactic used by states who wanted to conquer places was that they sent merchants to trade first, then missionaries, then armies.

I could have sworn that Logo was a tiny subset of Logo. Live and learn.
I tried this out, and it reminds me a lot of AirTable. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. The easy import from Google Sheets made trying it to out in something that would be a meaningful context pretty painless. Here's the deal though: I can't see myself investing my time/energy in using this seriously if it's not part of GSuite. I don't see my company paying this pricing for this, and I don't see this as having the longevity enough to integrate into business processes unless it's part of GSuite.

What I see so far seems decent, but to make this something I'm actually going to rely on and build on, it needs better placement in Google's portfolio.
"Conservative" is one way to say it. Perhaps another way to view it is that development of some G Suite core apps has stopped [0], which should perhaps give one pause.

No, I just want to understand. What opportunities exactly?
Sure thing. In bullet point form:

- Congress, when it legislates within its constitutional domain of authority, has the power to override ("preempt") contrary state law---and most of the classic legal principles that we inherited from England, such as the rules of contract law and tort (personal injury, fraud, other kinds of civil wrongs) are matters of state law.

- when Congress enacted the Airline Deregulation Act, they chose to preempt state law having basically anything at all to do with how airlines ran their operations.

- The plaintiff in the case I linked had just been randomly kicked out of Northwest Airlines's frequent flier policy, lost all her status, etc. He sued, claiming that they cancelled his policy for dishonest, bad-faith reasons (to cut costs before the Delta merger).

- Even though the ToS of the frequent flier program essentially said "we can kick you out for any reason," state law added an "implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing," which required, essentially, that contracting parties not abuse terms like that in order to egregiously rip one another off---which is what the plaintiff alleged. The implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing is a pretty foundational contract law idea that lots of people think is fairly important.

- The Supreme Court interpreted Congress's intent in the airline deregulation act to include preempting the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, thus implying that all kinds of abusive airline behavior, if it was strictly within the written words of the airline contract, even if normal state contract law wouldn't enforce it, would be perfectly hunkry dory. Plaintiff loses.
> It's not just Russia.

Indeed - but my (short) reply was intended to lampshade the aversion of many public figures and certain news-media outlets to name Russia specifically when the evidence suggests they're the lead perpetrators: either out of fear of being retaliated against or because they want to suggest or imply that the Democratic party is "just as bad as the Republicans" and that they're in cahoots with _some other_ equally nefarious country's disinformation campaign. Which is concerning because discouraging the electorate from voting by spreading messages of false-equivalency is exactly what Russia's IRA does.
I totally agree.

A person must learn actively while reading:

- By taking notes

- By summarizing important/difficult to understand sections in their own words via writing

- By looking up and exploring alternative explanations of complex idea, and following the two aforementioned avenues towards solidifying one's understanding

Rinse & repeat.

Reading != Learning.

Reading is more of a casual perusal of knowledge, when one isn't actively engaged in the above 3 ways mentioned (or other strategies to absorb the knowledge presented in a book or other compendium of information)

Learning = actively engaging with subject matter with a strong intention to understand and even memorize when necessary.
It's worth picking up his book and reading it firsthand. It's full of very interesting stories, the media coverage of him doesn't do justice to the real person.
My interpretation is that for every dollar each side spends on legal fees related to a case, they provide some amount (let's say $0.50) to an escrow account that will be given to the opposition (separate from any awards in the ruling) if they win the case to refund their expenses, or returned to the spender if not.

Some potential difficulties could arise in separating legal fees related to a case from general legal work being done by lawyers on retainer. Furthermore, this would still require both sides to front the money for the case, although if a lawyer thought they had a strong case, they could take the case on incentive for a poor client.
You say this person's colleagues have become apprehensive. Are they outright scared?

As the boss, you have the ability to fire this person, or order them off the premises at any moment. You're also more able to remove yourself from the office if you feel uncomfortable.

Your other workers don't have this agency. They have to show up and work alongside somebody who can't control themselves and has violent outbursts.

Liability concerns aside (IANAL) I think you should be proud of what you've tried to do, and accomplished so far. If everyone involved is a tight knit group and you're comfortable that they're aligned with the ongoing risk/altruism tradeoff, that's one thing. If not... please consider that you are signing other, less powerful people up for the downsides of this situation.
What constitute legal fees usually apart from lawyer fees?
I use both. If I want to look at a single file I'll use vim. If I want to look at a group of files in a folder I'll use vscode.

They are both text editors that support plugins to the point of becoming an ide, but it is far easier to make vscode work as an ide than it is vim, and that's coming from somebody that's been using vim since it's inception.

Joe Rogan espouses a mindset that is not conducive to skeptical inquiry. He will readily accept for face value anything that fits into his assimilated world view. Oftentimes those ideas are unscientific, pander to conspiratorial mindsets, and are often just down right wrong. Furthermore, he will often make his show a platform for people who are either full of shit, full of hate, or crackpots and snakeoil salesmen. I think the best term described for his show is that he is Oprah for Men, and she's just as bad. In my opinion he is only one or two steps removed from Alex Jones. Once in a blue moon he'll have an interesting guest on but no one that's willing to stand up to him and hold him accountable.
UPDATE: (as of 24 upvotes on main post). I scaled up my infra. It should be more stable at current load. Please continue to be patient; y'all are great.
Don't discount free. People can talk about a good craftsman paying for good tools, but corporate developers have to go through the corporate approval process to pay for just about anything, so free is friction-free.

Before VSCode the king of this was Eclipse. It was free, so it was everywhere, used by a plethora of companies. 2012-2015, when I was using it for vanilla Java development, knowing it let me get up to speed quickly on the Scale IDE, JBoss development from Red Hat, Mulesoft's MuleStudio, Teiid database virtualization, and Salesforce's IDE.
VSCode is taking it's place, IMO; Salesforce has switched to it for its IDE.
But it's terrible.

Great question! (Jean, founder and CEO of Akita here.) We elided some details to keep the blog post simple. Here is the longer answer. Akita catches dependencies across your system, so there are two ways you could set up Akita to catch this bug:
1. If the clients depending on the removed property are also explicitly tested by Akita, the regression test would flag the removed property as a change to take notice of.
2. If you install Akita to run in staging/production where it can pick up the dependencies on the service, the regression test will be able to detect that the removed property was used in a previous run and is now gone.

Thanks for the context. I think the second one explains what you're trying to say better.

I think one can agree with the spirit of Carter's message while remaining skeptical of how practically it's stood the test of time. Unless I'm misunderstanding you, doesn't the last line of your second article seems to agree with GP's point? Can you describe what you're trying to say in more detail?

It also depends how you've configured OpenVPN. If you've properly configured to drop connections that didn't provide a valid certificate then even running it on a regular port would make it invisible to scanners.

I've heard from some of its employees that Jetbrains is on panic, they are losing tons of webstorm and pycharm customers to VSCode.
This is something that tons of people have written about---I'm not a contracts expert, so I don't want to opine too directly, but I will say that lots and lots and lots of people have criticized the idea that hidden contracts will be enforced. Some courts have enforced them, some courts have refused to enforce them, and the law is a little bit tangled and complex (hence why I won't speak to it with confidence).

Those people who defend the enforcement of such contracts basically think that (a) consumers generally know that there is some contract, and can always ask to see the details before they buy, or demand a refund if they see them and they're unacceptable, (b) there will probably be some broad based public policy or unconscionability constraints on contracts entered into like this---nobody in their right mind, for example, would enforce a software contract that says that when you install it you promise to turn over the entire contents of your bank account to Mark Zuckerberg, and (c) it would be blindingly difficult to disclose full complex contracts before every consumer transaction anyway.

As you can probably tell, however, I'm with the critics---I think such contracts are fundamentally bullshit. It has always seemed to me that the right answer is to enact a set of fair default terms in legislation, and then let companies provide real contracts, or lobby to change the default rules, if they're too burdensome.
I write Java in vim all day and it's fine. I'm also one of the top code contributors in my org by any metric (LoC submitted, bugs fixed, tech debt reduced, etc.) And everyone else uses IntelliJ.

You devote time to learning your tools and improve the efficiency of the parts that matter, and the tool itself becomes mostly background.

Another equally valid hypothesis would be that people have better information and thus to fight these more, and also these get noticed more than before. It is also possible that the absolute number of such cases have gone up despite the rate per capita has gone down, given the population growth. Unless someone does a careful analysis, we just can't determine the frequency based on anecdotal evidence.
