There is a way to do that by adding context outside the quote but keep the quote verbatim.

"It's an older code, sir, but it checks out", the officer said, referring to the stolen access code Han had just provided, stolen from god knows where, god knows how long ago.

See, now the original quote is undisturbed and the added context is less authoritative (on purpose), since it is not inserted into the quote. The provenance of all the information is clear.

Personally I think the only brackets we should use in quotes are [sic], indicating an error in the original. Otherwise we are on the slippery slope to, "oh, what they really meant to say is [phrase phrase phrase]".
I agree that this article is rehashing the age-old continental vs. analytical debate, I disagree that because the debate is old, it is thus worthless.

I see many defending the "perfectly clear" meaning of continental philosophers, even if they don't obviously build up a clear argument from assumptions like a "10 year old" analytic philosopher might do.

Many, in my view, are forgetting just quite how obscurant many of these philosophers are. I am a little older than 10 years old now, but this passage (from Judith Butler), for instance, is close-to-incomprehensible to me

> The move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power.
"If you have any interest in being accurate in your view of American history, may I recommend one of my favorites, What Hath God Wraught - The Transformation of America, 1815 - 1848 by Howe published by Oxford Press, really a great series to be honest."

> It's Trump's fault Blacks in CA and NY are attacking Asians?

To the extent that it is blacks attacking Asians this is more plausible than it superficially might seem: people here love to cite the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect, but if you think that that is a significant force dealing with content of intellectual interest in a single news source, you probably ought to recognize how much more powerful it is for messages playing on out-group fear relayed through multiple social channels.

Sure, the ground is prepped for it by preexisting background racial animosity, but then even if not Trump specifically, a lot of that is also from racist propaganda of a white supremacist origin permeating society and turning nonwhite groups against each other.

From experience, you are wasting time in the long-run if you aren't validating your ideas 'the hard way'.

By doing things that don't scale, you can move faster and actually solve the problems your customers have, rather than coming to them with what _you_ think the solution is.

I love what Musk's companies are doing, but I would never actually want to work for any of them. They all heavily take advantage of passionate people by overworking and underpaying them, while Musk and the big shareholders alone trap the lion's share of the rewards. Musk is the world's richest person now, but he can't even help fund his employees' retirement?

Meanwhile I'm over here getting a 50% no-limit match on my contributions, which is pretty common in tech.
That I can recommend. It is extremely easy to loose money with it and end up with _nothing_.

Especially the heavily leverage products can go from +100% to -100% in hours. And then your money is just gone. And you have nothing.

They do when they need to pay insurance. Every year they defer maintenance is another year that insurance payments increase. This ensures they maintain things.

Of course governments need to require the insurance, but once they do insurance companies are good at figuring out risk. This is much easier for governments to do, than to actually allocate money to do the work when they are the owners. Somehow insurance payments are ignored in government budgeting, probably because they self-insurance and so there is no line item to look at.

The issue is not "undefined" and "error" but accidental partiality.

`head` absolutely doesn't know something the compiler doesn't, because there is no guarantee the user is using it correctly!

The fact that https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/vec/struct.Vec.html#method.pop returns Option<T> really says it all. We're not trying to be perfect, we're just trying to be no worse than Rust, which shouldn't be a high bar at all.

I wrote https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/351 to address just these sorts of issues, and not the harder ones people confuse them with.
I am almost convinced to go all in with the elixir ecosystem. Having been a victim of a similar type of thinking, however, I am not sure this is the best thing to do so I am skeptical.

Remember, Java and the JVM essentially have this today: front end frameworks, back end frameworks, data pipelines, big data processing, entire databases, etc.

In your opinion, what will make the Elixir flavor of this situation different?
I could see this one having the opposite effect.

Generally, companies review what amounts to circumstantial, incomplete, or conflicting evidence that wouldn't amount to an award or criminal conviction in court and agree to exchange
1. money (settlement)
2. promised disciplinary action
3. other compensation / action
for silence (NDA) on the part of the complainant (or victim) AND THE COMPANY relating to the issue.

Court is ALWAYS an option for victims and many choose to to the settlement option because they don't have a strong, provable case or don't want to relive the experience through public testimony. Sometimes there are facts that make the victim/complainant look bad that they don't want released, and the NDA protects them in these cases.

If the law allows one side out of the NDA without penalty, then settlements will disappear and victims will have to go to court for restitution.
That's not what he told the court:

"I have already made it perfectly clear that this case should never be heard in court and I will not be giving it any credence or legitimacy by attending."

Not quite true. With shared hosting it was (is?) uncommon for a user directory to have ExecCGI enabled. If you wanted scripts to run they had to live in the cgi-bin directory. Additionally mod_rewrite could be expensive on low powered servers. This all meant doing anything dynamic meant "ugly" URLs and meta tag forwards if you were on such a shared host. It was also non-trivial amounts of effort to get some random CGI script working since you needed to know enough to get the shebang path correct for the server and set the right permissions.

Contrast this to PHP where you dropped a .php file into your user directory and you've got some dynamic content. Platforms built on PHP became popular because you could upload them to your user folder and they just sort of worked. There were no special executable paths, no shebangs, and no execute permissions to set.

Perl was huge in the CGI space for a long time but the (consumer) content platforms built on it weren't nearly as successful because of the difficulty of mere mortals getting them running on their shared hosting plans.
I have never, ever heard of the ability to vest RSUs into a 401k (or even an IRA, which would at least make a little bit more sense), has anyone else?
One Founder Went from a Small Pakistani Town to Silicon Valley
401k’s generally have a limited number of funds available to trade.

I think the reasoning is to protect the employee from poor investments. I’ve never seen one that allows you to trade on individual stocks, only funds.
Tesla is no doubt executing fantastically well. Their product is incredible and the team is utterly top notch. Their prospects for growth are wonderful.

And even with all of those things in mind, I can help but wonder whether investors would give the company quite so much of their capital were it not for Elon Musk’s incredible ability to craft an ever-enlarging dream of the company’s future.
What approaches and tools do Haskell developers take to guard against this? I assume in the head case a Maybe would be a better return type? But then why doesn't the Haskell core do that in the head function?

I did actually consider this.

When your memory contents are persistent, there is no "boot process". Booting means loading OS code from secondary storage into RAM and then executing it.

If there's no secondary storage, this is never normally needed.

However, there is absolutely no reason why you cannot _re-initialise_ the system. Start again at first run, reset temporary data and run it from scratch.

Secondarily, you could of course dump your data and work in progress to (say) a reserved memory partition first, or over the network to a remote server. Then you re-start and choose what you want to reload.
Depends on the ISO work group, in what concerns C and C++, they don't charge for it, but it is up to you to cover for your travel expenses and vacation days to defend your papers. This is where corporation (or employeer) sponsorship comes into play.

That is pretty much the point, given that there are no successfull programing languages in existence without companies financial support for their core team.

I mean harris is pretty bad with this. I agree that the article has that tone that most of us normies find distasteful, but it's not really wrong in my experience. If anything, in not directly calling Harris' straying from his area of expertise charlatanism, the author is being generous.
That is really useful:

> Russell Conjugation (or “emotive conjugation”) is a presently obscure construction from linguistics, psychology and rhetoric which demonstrates how our rational minds are shielded from understanding the junior role factual information generally plays relative to empathy in our formation of opinions.

> Years later, the data-driven pollster Frank Luntz stumbled on much the same concept unaware of Russell’s earlier construction. By holding focus-groups with new real time technology that let participants share emotional responses to changes in authoritative language, Luntz was lead to make a stunning discovery that pushed Russell’s construction out of the realm of linguistics and into the realm of applied psychology. What he found was extraordinary: many if not most people form their opinions based solely on whatever Russell conjugation is presented to them and not on the underlying facts.
Honestly, I have no idea how the New York Times took issue with Mindgeek over child porn on PornHub, but failed to ever mention Reddit. Reddit is the single largest child porn distributor on the Internet, and the nsfw subs are a ticking time bomb just waiting for a horrible media expose to be written. I'm sure in the meantime though they're a major driver of traffic so Reddit will act willfully ignorant.
MMORPGs are only seen as an issue to the degree they cause harm. It’s nothing to do with being “low brow” but entirely down to the subscription model. Keep the customer logging in to keep the subscription revenue rolling.

If this is done by being fun and enjoyable, and the developer doesn’t cross the line into preying on addictive behaviour, no problem.

If the developer implements mechanics that are designed to “hook” the player to the detriment of the enjoyment and their health, then we have a problem.
In slack, at least, typing a colon begins autocomplete by name, which is mostly how I type them: e.g. `+:+1:‘ to react to the post above me with a thumbs-up.
But on the other hand we dont have punitive damages in civil law for anything. Generally, you can’t be sued for a randomly large amount of money like you can in the US. It has to be provable and direct costs of, in this case, lost business. This is probably why the judgement was for quite a small amount of money, considering how much a law firm turns over in a year. Disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer or your lawyer so there may be edge cases that I don’t know about.
It’s not an IRA. 401k plans have very limited options for how to invest the money. Usually some bonds (low fixed rates) and index funds. There’s also usually some targeted funds which balance the risk for you and an “income” fund which is very low risk but tries to do better than the fixed rate bonds.

And with an IRA, you can only deposit money not stocks. You have to sell first, deposit the money, and reinvest.
I presume that you are all talking about SV, right?
Tesla is one of the stingiest wildly successful companies ever. They're still managing the day-to-day as though they're a scrappy startup that might miss payroll next month. I suppose they can get away with this as long as the stock keeps skyrocketing, but once that ends the low salaries, long hours, and poor benefits are going to come back to bite them badly.
Unclear how the "deposit shares in 401(k)" step works. 401(k) contributions come from salary: you can't just put random things in your 401(k) except in specific circumstances (like a rollover). You can do in-kind transfers _out of_ an IRA (and maybe a 401(k), I'm not sure), but you can't do in-kind transfers _into_ a 401(k) or IRA. IRA contributions have to be cash, 401(k) contributions have to be cash comp.

The employer could match with shares in some circumstances, but the point of the article is that Tesla is forgoing all matches, so that's not relevant.

> Gamers are the most toxic community I have ever encountered. Nothing but parroted vitriol and entitlement. I don't even look online anymore, I just play the games and make my own opinions.

Sadly, this is kind of the one part that I blame CDprojectRed for even though I think they delivered an awesome product, albeit super buggy and limited one; they built the hype up so much and pushed the narrative of an immersive in depth World on e day 1 with tons of layers in the storyline and took years to develop. Had they just been honest to pre-buyers and say,'listen, please understand we wanted all these features on launch, but they're just not on day 1, so this will be released as a beta with limited features and bug fixes to come. If anyone wants a full refund we will accommodate it.' Which they eventually were forced to do for physical copies, and then gave Sony a black eye by forcing them to issue refunds from the PS+ store etc..

The Watchdogs team did that, and they also delayed their launch date to October despite it being Q1 2020 with almost no backlash because they were open about it and the price of the digital version then physical copies reflected that set of circumstances, the media didn't even bother commenting on it either despite Online play not being available to this day.

Also, this shows just how sad most gamers lives really are, between paying twitch players and spending every waking hour either playing or commenting on video games on social media one can easily see they don't have much or any real social life.

It's actually really sad, and makes me think about that part of the anime 'Welcome to the NHK' about NEETism and the prevalence of dropping out of Society and creating your own virtual existence Online to fill the void.

It's sad because I was also a gamer up until Sophomore year of university when I just got way too busy going FT and Summer classes and running a business, preparing/repairing my car and going to and training for real motorsports events/weekends and being in even casual relationships--there was simply no time to put in the 5+ hours on Gran Tursimo to refine my lines at Fuji, Suzuka, Laguna Seca or the Nordschleife like I could when I was in HS.

Sadly, for me Nismo's GT academy would later prove it to be a proper outlet and use of my time had I continued as they picked drivers for their lineup in GT racing series from the challenges Online, but by then the eventual financial crash of 2008 crisis was already setting things into motion (early 2007ish) so I couldn't be bothered and I needed to graduate ASAP.
Pumped storage needs far too much space to be significant as an energy storage solution for renewables. Sure it is useful, but the amount of space needed to hold the lakes to supply the US through the worst week of the typical years would cover most of the mid-west.

The ancient Greek philosophers contain some real howlers like Aristotlean impetus and belief that women must have fewer teeth than men because of a smaller skull and an assumption that human teeth are identical in size and spacing.

I'll also add a striking data point--even in the United States, conservatives are happier than liberals: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/08/opinion/sunday/conservati...

> Fifty-two percent of married, religious, politically conservative people (with kids) are very happy — versus only 14 percent of single, secular, liberal people without kids.

In Bangladesh, where I'm from, it's taken for granted that getting married, going to mosque, and having kids is the way to a good and happy life. Yes, Bangladeshis are backwards people in many ways. But maybe they’re not wrong about everything. Maybe in this area, Bangladeshis know something about being human that social liberals have talked Americans into forgetting?

People can absolutely rationally debate where the line should be drawn. (And my understanding is that the SEC has loosened some rules.)

Where I at least part ways is the people here who argue vehemently that there should be no line given that people can go to Vegas and gamble away their life savings.
