Their motivation is self preservation. Western democracies make it pretty clear that they do not support the existence of brutal dictatorships. Thus brutal dictatorships are motivated to act in ways that can weaken the western democracies.
Before mass media you had media delivered via Mass through the Catholic church, which was substantially the same in not just the entire country, but in all countries.

Getting out of this was a century of real and cultural warfare that ultimately resulted in some of the first rights of countries, because forcing the centralization at the point of a gun was just not worth it.

Mass media is a much more recent, much more short term and much less powerful (there never was a newspaper czar and Walter Duranty could at most destroy your career, not burn you at the stake for telling the truth).

My point is that humans have had different groups with different values living inside the same countries for a long time before they considered themselves to be members of that nation, this is going back to what was normal, not reverting to something that is new.

Of course living with these separate groups wasn't exactly peaceful or without discrimination.
One side wants trans people to be able to use the same bathroom and universal healthcare the other side talks about shooting democrats and Myanmar style coups.

It is impossible to be tolerant of the Fourth Reich or those who if they don't condone it will at best tolerate it for tax cuts.

Our unresolvable division is because 10% is evil and 30% is nuts and the remainder can't have anything they want if they don't embrace the crazy.

In the various STEM fields I work in the Masters degree and PhD coursework is essentially the same. You learn most of what there is to know about the subject. The doctorate bolts on another 2-4 years of learning how to research in that field: what are frontier problems that can be done a couple years of work. Doctoral newbies often select a problem too easy, too hard or already done and have to be steered awayfrom that.

Did you know that fasting for one month a year is obligatory in Islam?

“O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.

Fast a prescribed number of days. But whoever of you is ill or on a journey, then let them fast an equal number of days after Ramaḍân. For those who can only fast with extreme difficulty, compensation can be made by feeding a needy person for every day not fasted. But whoever volunteers to give more, it is better for them. And to fast is better for you, if only you knew.“
- Surah Al-Baqarah 183-184
There is only very little lithium in "lithium" batteries (1-10%). Batteries last a long time and even when they've lost a lot of capacity they are still usable in cheap used cars and can be repurposed as stationary energy storage.
I'm not saying you shouldn't drink. It's your body, do whatever you want! Most enjoyable things have some level of risk.

I'm just saying that there is a risk, and people should be aware of that fact.

Someone out there is going to be unlucky and get colon cancer from their daily glass of wine. And they probably think it's just bad luck, it can't be from alcohol because they drink just one glass a day.

(Reminds me of a relative who likes talking about how his daily glass of red wine made him live to 90. I think it's the successful chemo treatment for his throat cancer that made him live to 90, but I'm not a doctor)

Smaller teams move faster. This has always been true.

Scaling up teams is to deal with scope, not speed, and usually leads to much slower progress as processes and procedures are layered on top.
Revenue isn't the metric they should be using.

For the good of the economy, they should be looking at how much hiring an auditor and doing more audits helps the economic outlook of the whole USA.

Audits on honest people cost those people time they could use to generate economic value.

Audits on the dishonest might prevent dishonesty, but the economic value gained for the country isn't equal to that collected from the dishonest person - since you are reducing their spending on rolexes...

Where I went (MIT Media Lab) our classes were unique and only graduate level. In fact masters and PhD took the same classes, PhD just took more of them. There were no undergrads, and the knowledge assumptions, type of classes, and speed were very much more advanced than undergraduate. During my undergraduate (UCSD) I took a few masters classes — they were definitely harder and assumed a lot more knowledge with less hand holding. YMMV.
He's not a CEO of American company, he's not a software engineer who could be fired. Being independent of all that crowd you don't have to care what they think. That doesn't mean they didn't try to cancel him. They called him a project of CIA who's job is to harm the CCP, they said they would quit Buddhism if he's not replaced, would quit meditating. Pretty much the same thing as in the case of, e.g. Richard Stallman (the 1st time). Except it didn't work.
Discipline can scale, but only among very smart and careful programmers. If you're going to have a one-size-fits-all standard that expects to include novice programmers, it can't include anything dangerous.

Even smart and careful programmers make mistakes, though, and they don't use goto for laughs. Likewise, even a novice programmer can probably use it safely in a small function.

Light Weight Browser
Does anybody know a lightweight browser that also supports the modern web? I don't understand why it is necessary for cuurent firefox to consume gigabytes of ram and lots of processing power to display text on screen while firefox from 2015 fails to load modern sites that have essentially no new functionality but tons of bloat. Basically I am looking for something that efficiently cuts through the bloat rather than either hogs a ton of resources or fails.

I think the GP is correct; not that the military is fundamentally inhumane but that as an institution its publications are almost absurdly bureaucratic. See, for example, any field manual produced in recent decades, or look into 'military powerpoint.' Military documentation today tends to be verbose, repetitive, legalistic, and laden with references to doctrinal matters, an excess of acronyms, and lacking any kind of writerly voice.

It's not all bad; survival manuals are dense but concise and well-structured, for example. On the other hand, the Advanced Combat Helmet comes with a 200+ page manual whose useful content could fill maybe 30 or 40 pages. More abstract topics like leadership, tactics, strategy, and logistics are in many respects manuals about navigating the very large and complex institution of the DoD. The smaller branches produce better output, unofficially or quasi-officially, eg the Marines have some excellent writers as do SOF - not least because soldiers in those branches are expected to exercise greater autonomy and decision-making at all ranks, whereas the army in particular is more of an organizational machine for delivery of combat power, not unlike Amazon for explosions.

I'm not a no carb person. I've tried no carb and it's just too hard to get the energy I need for my activity levels (I know it can be done, but I also like to do things I can maintain for years). But, I do think about my carbs. Meals consist of cooked veggies (my trinity is peppers, onions, mushrooms) or standard salad. Then some type of protein like fish or chicken. Carbs I'll add if I think I need them that day. Rice or I'll cut up potatoes and sauté or oven roast with rosemary and a little OO. I'll also graze on something like hummus and raw veggies and mix in some pretzels.

I avoid sweets though.

It couldn't be reached then either. Think about how many different versions of Christianity there was then. There was no mass media to speak of then, and yet these versions of the Christian faith disagreed on some extremely fundamental points, including how to, and through whom, you could be saved.
I've seen it many times in posts relating to health, drug use or alcohol: a tendency to piss all over alcohol in particular (cigarettes as a close second) and those who use anything more than a tiny amount of it while hardly blinking at descriptions by others describing THC, LSD, MDMA and all sorts of other ad hoc mind altering drug mixes as a solution to assorted psychological situations. Many people here regularly describe consuming large amounts of THC in different forms, get applauded by others who do the same and then strongly criticize the notion of someone drinking more than some very moderate, arbitrarily defined amount of alcohol per week or X time frame.

In the absence of concrete evidence showing explicitly why your drug of choice is superior to someone else drug of choice, it's hypocritical to shit on their preferences as moral weakness while you happily indulge your own substances.

In software development I’m not sure there is a difference between a bachelors and a masters. At least for hiring purposes I do not view them as any different.

I also hire people out of code schools as well. I get a lot of resumes from people with a degree in some random field…then spent a few months at a boot camp. So far, our boot camp employees have been very good.
Here’s an idea. Make it so that individuals can offer loans from their 401k. Maybe even let them approve the individual applying for the loan. 3.9 GPA, going into petroleum engineering, I’ll give you 10k at 7% interest with a minimum of $250/month repayment.

Make it so this is the only way for people to get college loans, and the lending criteria will be solved. Also, the complaining about “we should be able to declare bankruptcy and get out of paying for our loans” will go away.

I agree Clojure has a better REPL experience than Elixir. But in Elixir REPL for a quick and dirty function you'd probably just do

>bar = fn x -> x + 1 end

The most unfortunate thing though is then you have to have a different calling convention. Its the greatest flaw in Elixir by far but they didn't have a reasonable alternative given the constraints of Erlang.

Still for defining a named function in the REPL its the same in Haskell and most other languages I believe that you can't define a new named function or add a function to a module in the REPL, though at least in Haskell the calling convention for a variable bound to a lambda is the same as for a named top-level function. LISPs have always had a different notion of how the REPL integrates into the development experience of a running program, and I don't think its really been replicated elsewhere.
Thanks, I see the difference now.

Why don't you want to know what Bob or Jill makes? If they make more than you and are better than you, you can see where you will be after you improve. If they get paid more than you and are worse than you, then you can use that knowledge to get a raise. If they make less than you and are better than you, you know they're going to start getting paid more which will make everyone better off. And if they get paid less than you and are worse than you, they'll be more receptive to mentoring.

No, speaking from the Midwest there is in some areas a real shortage of experienced/qualified candidates. Even if you pay $200k, $300k, more, there are a lot of Americans who will not move to the Midwest. Folks from overseas, though, don't have the same preferences or prejudices. If you're coming from China, India, Bulgaria, Nigeria, Colombia, what does Minnesota vs Missouri vs Maryland really matter if you're coming for a job? Iowa vs Ohio? As long as you can find a suburb with good schools it's interchangeable. People who are attached to San Francisco or Seattle or the Northeast though do not harbor the same openness to moving to Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, etc.
Haha, just a fan. :)

> - Can you clarify your fixup commit suggestion? So there's typically an option to squash and merge when merging the PR, but sounds like you want to maintain some of those commits and squash the rest?

If you run `git commit --fixup <ref>`, git will mark the commit as a fixup for `<ref>` (via a commit message convention). Then when you run `git rebase -i --autosquash`, git will automatically move those commits to be just after what they fix and mark them as "f" (fixup) rather than "p" (pick).

When putting up PRs for review, there is a tension between making it easy for reviewers to see what has incrementally changed (depending on which PR tool you are using) and having your PR in a ready-to-land state. By having fixups resolved during the merge, you get the best of both worlds.

> Curious since you have done this much research - have you built or used any of the merge queues in your company?

At my last company, I was researching what we should replace Phab with. I was looking at a broad spectrum of features for our system, including auto-merge, merge-queues, configuration-as-code, "next step" notifications for PRs (rather than flooding all), auto-elect-from-group with load-balancing, etc. Basically, we were in a bit of an extreme for baby sitting the system and I wanted to get us to the complete opposite. Unfortunately, I left before I got to complete that work due to a unique opportunity.
What killed them? (Honest question)
Well people are already sorting themselves by moving between states based on political affiliation. If we strengthen States' rights and limit Federal government power in line with the original intent of the Constitution then I think we can all mostly get along. Americans get all worked up about who wins the Presidential election because the executive branch has gained so much power over every aspect of our lives but it doesn't have to be that way. We don't need to have all the same laws in Massachusetts and Montana.
Remember politics. Poland and neighbors knew of Germany's invasion plans, but were not allowed to mobilize or prepare, so they "wouldn't antagonize the Germans." The British were playing politics hoping that talks would solve everything. So in that sense, you are correct, his rhetoric prevented an appropriate response.

It's for the IRS to say "Here's what we think we owe you and why. If you don't like that, go and fill out the forms."

Next, end goal. You want to squash every individual who denies the Holocaust occurred or downplays it? Good luck, you'll have your hands full in countries like Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and Iran.
