> I currently write more C++ then python

You mention in the grandparent post that you "just" made that switch, so that's a relatively recent development?

> so I have enough experience from both perspectives

I don't mean to be snarky, but evidently you're not nearly as comfortable working in C++ as you are working in Python. Your interpretation of this is that you have gained sufficient experience with both languages to know that the problem is with the language and more experience won't help, but what makes you so confident about this?

> I never had to even know what assembly language was to do my job. That's the point of an abstraction, if you find yourself digging into assembly that means it's a leaky abstraction.

Yes, that's a perfectly valid view, and, in the larger context of this discussion (about whether a programmer should switch to low level programming), if you prefer your abstractions to be solid, you'll probably find yourself happier in higher level programming.

But where the high level programmer is concerned about leaky abstractions, the low level programmer is often concerned about intransparent abstractions — that in some languages, it's hard to develop a reliable intuition how much time and memory a particular line of code will take. That's an equally valid view, and if that's your primary perspective, you might be more comfortable in low level programming.

> [a leaky abstraction] is basically what C++ is...

It's possible to write perfectly sound code in C++, but admittedly, it's also possible to punch holes in abstractions, and that possibility is often exploited.
It’s still a kind of neat trick. One of those paths where even a little optimization goes a long way due to it being so hot.
This makes me wonder if Blaine Garst's recounting of Gosling's group drawing inspiration from what they'd seen in OpenStep as NeXT shopped it around actually makes sense.
I'm not so sure, I think vacuvins do make a difference. They certainly make a vacuum too because you hear a noticeable air rush when you break the seal. Maybe I'm fooling myself but it did seem to keep the wine fresher than just leaving the bottle open or corked up.
tangential, but you can get a thermostat with a relay that you could potentially hack in in place of the logic board. fixed a fridge with a broken thermostat this way. i think it cost about $15
We had a bunch of IPs for each of our servers to get around some of their auto-blocking stuff. Eventually we got approval from AIM but that was fairly late. You're right in that we had crazy-impressive web UI but the backend was also unique in that we had a process running for every logged in user (and eventually we had a process running for every user who was running the iOS app)
Boost.interproces does exactly that for the STL.
Legal question – license of software that includes GPL 3.0 software
I am the current maintainer (albeit, not a great one, but still a maintainer) the phashion ruby gem (https://github.com/westonplatter/phashion).

I was notified by a user that the current MIT license of phashion may conflict with the GPL 3.0 license of the pHash software included in it. The argument goes that since phashion includes the source code of pHash as apart of its distribution, it needs to also use the GPL 3.0 license.

My question ... is there a licensing conflict between phashion and pHash? If so, what are the options?

Other question ... are there any open source lawyers/organizations I could talk to for free?

NOTE - I realize I'm asking a legal/IP question. I will not treat comments or opinions as legal advice.
Oh for sure. But there’s this wide spot in the mid 6-figure range where you can’t afford any of that and have way more than you can spend. Typical middle class trappings aren’t a concern, upper class trappings are inaccessible.

So what do you do? Personally I’m dumping it into index funds and business ideas. Maybe thinking about buying a house soonish.
The hydrogen atom has a wave function which shows properties for a negative charge and mass with some amplitudes at different positions in space and time, and a positive charge and mass at certain other positions.

Now, before you perform a measurement, you can't say that the electron is anywhere particularly in space, and netither can you say that about the proton. In fact, the atom itself isn't really somewhere definite.

On the other hand, just because they don't exist somewhere specific that doesn't mean that they don't exist. That charge and mass can't just disappear, so if we ever observed the atom, we know that it still exists in some sense. Even with QFT, you may dispute whether the particle exists or not, but its conserved properties certainly do, regardless of how non-localized they may be.

And again, this is just an interpretation of QM that were discussing. Adherents of MWI would say that the particles are perfectly real, perfectly localized (in a particular world) and move essentially like classical particles, but they happen to interact with all different versions of themselves in all the different worlds, as long as they keep the same phase.

I personally don't like MWI, but it is still consistent with all observations.
There are some pretty poor attempts to justify it, but "it's not that our police are bad, it's that our News is brilliant" has to be up there.
> Our species originated in Africa

There is an increasing amount of evidence for the MRH (multi-regional hypothesis) which contradicts the idea that "our species originated in Africa." That's not to say that thinking of anatomically modern humans as "an invasive" species is a useless frame, but I think it does weaken the footing your argument stands on.
I would suggest reading This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly by Carmen M. Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff. It is quite academic, but it comes the closest to answering this question that I have ever seen.

I just wish time went a _bit_ more slowly, or there was some mechanic to slow it down.. the first day of the season, even with coffee, I'm always rushing to get a 300+ crop farm re-tilled / fertilized / planted in time. I know that min-maxing isn't really necessary, but there's a part of me that can't stand not getting everything done on the first day (which can mean the difference between 2 and 3 harvests in a season).

The first year was pretty hectic for me trying to get everything done - basically had no time for relationships until year 2. I would not call that experience relaxing, even though it was pretty fun. But once you hit year 3+, it becomes pretty chill when you have iridium sprinkles + junimo huts taking care of pretty much everything while tons of money rolls in, so you can just focus on getting your farm perfectly set up.

Of course, after I had my farm set up perfectly, that's when I lost interest

Protests are big drinking events. For some reason people don't talk about this. Angry people go out planning to peacefully protest for George Floyd or Trump, they drink some liquor, their inhibitions go down, they decide to throw a couple bottles, break a couple windows.

Scheme is a (very nice) standardized programming language, with many different implementations and dialects.

DrRacket (previously called DrScheme, before rebranding) is a kind of IDE specialized for teaching intro-to-programming.

DrRacket primarily supports various dialects of Scheme, including a series of ones that incrementally add language features, as a student progress through a textbook.

You can also implement your own programming languages so that they work with DrRacket, and researchers sometimes build other tools on top of DrRacket.

One unfortunate thing is that, for decades, many students have been taught using Scheme or DrRacket -- and were given the impression that Scheme is a toy language, suitable only for homework exercises.
But the thing, for news at least, is: I don't want to pre-pay 10 different news sites, that I may or may not use.

That would work if it was like: I pre-load money into a service (i.e paypal). Then I use that account to unlock articles/donate to many different sites. Then, at the end of the month, paypal (or whatever the service is) makes 1 payment to all those sites, for all users combined.

That way, instead of me transferring 1 cent, twice, to New York Times, Paypal could do 1 large transfer of all contributions.

You just have to set realistic expectations. Some internet people have done tests and concluded that it does extend the life of a wine by a couple of days, and some internet people have not found a difference. Based on anecdotes from a friend, it works better on some wines than others. I haven't searched hard to enough to come across anyone claiming that it makes things worse.

For a $12 thing, it's not a huge investment to get one and see for yourself whether it works or not.

It could allow transparent use of Firefox and Chromium data with the same account with history, passwords, bookmarks shared and the rest of the options and add-ons segregated by browser.

Your premise is false: Open source software has nothing to do with communism, Marxism or socialism.

How many successful open source software created in communist countries do you know? Isn't it surprising that most successful open source software have been developed in capitalist countries ?

In fact, only capitalist countries give you enough wealth to spend a lot of time on hobbies, like developing open source software. If you were living in a communist country, you would probably spend most of your time searching for food.
You say time in the seat is the only thing you can measure objectively. I don't agree, then give a simple example that shows you can measure productivity and you immediately switch to measuring productivity. I don't think you introduced any realism at all, you were just wrong at the start.

By the way, I've never seen someone be rewarded 2x the pay for being 2x as productive without a commission model.

And if they are on commission, nobody cares how much time is spent in the office.

>Point is you expected to do an honest day of work for your pay with a good effort. That's the social contract which may well be changed in the future, but so far it isn't.

I don't think that's true. I've worked construction jobs and you're expected to do what you're expected to get done in a day of work, not work hard necessarily. Sometimes you work hard, sometimes you don't. A lot of time is spent uselessly. I found the same thing in corporate environments.

An honest day's work for an honest day's pay would actually be pretty unusual, especially given that for it to be honest the workers would have to understand the labor market implicitly, what they could get at competing companies and what their labor was actually worth to the company employing them. Most of the time none of that happens.
Didn't need a study to know this
Bitcoin was created by people who were so peeved at the regulator's interventions in the '08 crisis that they decided that bypassing the entire financial system was the best option. Forever immortalising "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks" just as a reminder of why they were doing what they did [0].

We don't need better regulation. We need, when financial firms muck up on a global scale, to replace the people who run those firms with different people. There is an easy way to do that, let them go broke.

The biggest problem in the room is that the regulators have bought in to the idea that some companies are "too big to fail". That is a stupid idea, fundamentally unfair, completely throwing out the best part of capitalism which is that recognised idiots aren't allowed to be in charge. That problem will certainly not be solved by giving the regulators more power.

A lot of comments here about ‘overreach’ ‘privacy violations’ and such as if the FBI is showing up and accusing these people of crimes. If you actually read the story, the one person who they quote explains they weren’t suspected of anything but the agents asked for any photos they had of the events.

This is straight up classic police legwork...
I live in the UK and follow day to day news, government announcements,etc. This reads like something straight from the government's PR book. The pattern is always the same: it's small issue, nothing to worry about, we know what's going on( or about to find out).

Last week I was bored,so ended up testing so cold google exploits. There are endless numbers of educational institutions with systems so crap that it's hard to believe. It took 15 min to find confidential salary data, various documents, messages, etc. Interestingly enough, most were US schools. I can only imagine what people with skills could do, instead of just googling,like me.
If this hypothetical political candidate is saying something that's not true (or is disputed), and news station B just runs a raw video of their speech, you could argue it's favoring that candidate by allowing their message to spread without providing the appropriate context.

> If the counter-arguments are reasonable, then Facebook _should_ be attacked.

Yes. But this will probably end in a lot of arguing, which is good for spammers, offenders and innocent alike, but bad for Facebook in practically all cases - so seen from their side, it is all downsides, especially when the innocent make up a small proportion. Don't get me wrong - I don't think the result is good, but I can understand FB acting the way it does.

> I think the implicit implication is that Facebook should _not_ legally be allowed to ban you only if it wants. [...]

I'd agree to that, but I think we need to treat carefully to not create something wrong here. Forcing FB to allow you to have an account might lead to required identity documents across the industry, for example, which would hurt privacy even more.

OTOH, FB should not be able to simply "void" your hardware. Steam and the Nintendo Switch, for example, only ban you from multiplayer and social functions, but you can access anything you bought still (I think). That would be a reasonable solution for the Oculus as well. Generally, removing the need for an account from hardware by legislation, unless proven to be required, seems good.

Still, this would not help the guy in this article and I actually don't think we should force Facebook to allow anyone to ping random people or justify retracting free services. He should not have relied on Facebook as backup or sole point of contact. Yes, FBs conduct looks bad[0], but if he would've been realistic about the problems of a free services, the ban would be more of an inconvenience.

In the stock market always ask : who's selling? I.e. who is on the other side of the trade? Is he smarter than me?
Probably not,but more often than not, there's a bizzare trend to normalise it. Fat becomes plus size, Obese becomes big bones and etc. I've gone bananas with my weight and to be honest it's pretty scary how normalised it is. Nobody really tells you that you are fat and it's time to drop some.
> In comparison, it sounds like gcc and the linux kernel devs are mutually confused about whether 4.9 is supported software.

There is no such confusion. Nobody expects GCC to maintain a 4.9 release line (but other entities do maintain such lines through backporting). Kernel developers had decided they are not going to intentionally break support for builds with GCC 4.9 unless they have a reason to.
The thing that matters is oxygen exposure more than anything. You can’t (trivially) reverse the effects of oxygen. This is why Coravin exists: replace the air (with oxygen) with an inert gas. You can do the same for cheap by putting the wine in a container (preferably gas) that reduces its exposure to oxygen, ideally entirely. There are companies selling other tools that do this, like an inflatable device that goes into a bottle.

After spending nearly a whole day trying to get a lombok build configured and working in my IDE ... I just gave up on it. It's a nice idea but I prefer to use something like Groovy where the AST transformations happen directly in the language space rather than in a meta-build step that requires so much IDE involvement. (not to mention most of them not even needed because Groovy just does those conveniences by default).
