That is on you. The simple fact of the matter is that they can do better, they should do better and because they are not doing better they must be punished until they do. That is how you deal with a beast that is actively malicious (it does wrong and it knows it is doing wrong, it does not care).

> There's a reason "you're not a real women" isn't an insult, but "you're not a real man" is.

One thing I might note is that a lot of these kind of harmful social constructs were applied to women 100 years ago. Things as trivial as wearing trousers and as important as voting or working would have been considered "not womanlike" back then. What has changed that is ~100 years of the feminist movement, which made all of these and more acceptable for women.

But there hasn't been and still isn't such a movement for men. And I would suggest that that's what we need.
Your very effective propaganda mill.
> Everyone would be better off if they just tried a little bit harder to be more mentally resilient.

Yes, but this is not the world we live in. Awareness campaigns all go towards telling people to get support and talk about their mental problems. Maybe we are weakening people, I don’t know, I’m just saying that we don’t tell people to swallow up their problems, and in France for example, we’ve raised taxes to be able to fund a one-billion-euros plan to provide various kinds of help for those soft issues for women.

In fact, those very people tell men that they don’t speak enough.

But when a man raises a grave issue that blocks his progress, the answer is launched automatically: “Everyone would be better off if they just tried a little bit harder to be more mentally resilient”. In other words: “k bye!”

It’s not that we should or shouldn’t be resilient, it’s that we tell people to provide help to their spouse and expect help from them, only to notice that said spouse can be relied upon like a house of cards during difficult times.

The problem I have with this is the same one I have with a lot of philosophical texts: It's a nice concept, kudos to you for coming up with it. Hundreds of such concepts exist and they all sound good to their authors. What is the point of coming up with them other than the kind of satisfaction children also know when they make up stories about the world around them?
> If it's any consolation, the only food I associate with Scotland is haggis, and I don't expect that people there are actually eating it. I have no opinion whatever on what people in Scotland eat. (Except, of course, that it probably isn't haggis.)

I mean, not everyone eats it, and those that do certainly don't eat it all the time, but it's pretty common. The haggis supper is a chip-shop staple. A full Scottish fried breakfast may well include a slice of haggis. There's a good chance that a cafe or van selling bacon rolls will also sell haggis rolls. And so on.

It's about as common as black pudding, and fills a similar culinary niche.
Indeed. Signal client at least on Android uses reproducible builds.
In my experience, the term “Agile” itself has been so widely applied that it lost any useful meaning it might have had a long time ago. The ideas it prompted are the interesting part.

I’ve never fully agreed with the original Agile Manifesto anyway, mostly because I think it tries to separate concepts that aren’t independent in practice. For example, if you don’t have a comprehensive requirements spec, how can you possibly know whether you have working software?

I do think the early Agile advocacy served a useful purpose in highlighting how slow and heavy a lot of software development processes were at the time. I think a lot of good ideas have been popularised as a result of that awareness and the various alternative processes that have been tried as a result. I also think some not so good ideas have been popularised, and some ideas that work well in the right context but not universally.

IMHO, it is much more interesting to discuss those specific ideas. How can we build software more incrementally, so we can see real progress and identify any potential problems earlier when they might be easier to fix? Is there a risk of becoming too short-sighted, so we create an illusion of progress, yet overall it takes longer to build a product we can ship? How can we organise our code and our teams to be more adaptable as requirements evolve over time? How does our situation change depending on whether we’re building a line-of-business web application, a game for a next generation console, or the management system for an aircraft carrier? There are lots of interesting ideas and useful discussions to be had, but they can be had just as well without applying the loaded term “Agile” anywhere.
Scuttlebutt only downloads from people/nodes that you follow and a (maybe configurable?) small number of steps from there, so you do not download the whole network only posts by your contacts and posts by contacts of contacts.

Maybe it could be more explicit but the reasoning comes from the sudoers manual page[1]:

> By default, the env_reset flag is enabled. This causes commands to be executed with a new, minimal environment. On AIX (and Linux systems without PAM), the environment is initialized with the contents of the /etc/environment file.

So if you want to make sure there are no sudo commands relying on PATH or any environmental variable you just delete the /etc/environment or set it empty. Like it says in the post, Ubuntu has the $PATH variable in it, and in other distributions it is just empty. The deletion suggestion is for systems where there is a big degree of control over the system, like embedded distributions built with yocto or custom container images.

These are the kind of burns I incurred after being hit by a militarized microwave beam [1] [2] for three days in a row, unrelentingly nearly every second of those three days. This device was gifted to Los Angeles by Raytheon and was only intended for 3 seconds of pulsed use in dispersing prison riots. But of course, the device had no misuse prevention mechanisms. I still have scars to prove it.

"quietly" implies the suit wasn't accompanied by a PR campaign or media outreach effort
Makes me glad to be a simple person with simple tastes - sometimes I taste a more expensive wine, and it's good, but then I ask myself "is this really worth paying 3x or 10x more than for a regular glass of wine?", and most of the time the answer I give myself is no...
That seems like a very thoroughly argued decision.
This is just a waste of time, money, and resources. The problem lies fundamentally at the lowest level of our system. "incentive"
Lawsuit refers to civil cases, but legal authorities can and do file lawsuits. For example, the DOJ just recently filed a lawsuit to block the American Airlines-JetBlue merger.
Well, "half a bottle" was then considered just "normal" (one for lunch, one for dinner), like if you drank a soda. After all, it was "just wine" and everybody was supposed to still be "sober" and able to drive...
Troubles started after a bottle of wine ;-)
Eh... I've never seen quiet as implying deceitfulness. If anything, to me it implies sincerity. It means someone is using the court system to address a real grievance they have; not just virtue-signal and grandstand for the public, like other recent filings against FB (e.g. the FTC filing an anti-monopoly suit that got summarily dismissed for being unworkably low-quality).

And I have no idea how much effort it would take to find such a lawsuit amidst the huge shuffle of papers that must be the Delaware Chancery.
Show HN: A Convolutional Neural Network Implemented in a Spreadsheet
For a long while, I sort of understood neural networks, but not really - some of the finer details escaped me. For example, I understood convolutions and how they can detect edges (a ala Sobel edge detection), but I didn't understand how a neural network could make use of those and how simple shapes like lines and edges could be built up further. I tried reading a lot of things, but either they were too high level, or overwhelmed me with opaque formulas. Even looking at the source code of others attempts to implement them from scratch (e.g. using NumPy) wasn't clearing my learning hurdle.

So, I took a page of advice from a great CS teacher of mine - "If you can build it, you can understand it" (This was the same CS teacher who, in Java 1, had us build an ArrayList and LinkedList from scratch so we understood the differences). I tried building one in a spreadsheet. It took a while to find a problem that had the right scope (detecting cats/dogs = way too hard, NNIST = overdone, letters = just right). Eventually, I succeeded at creating a single layer CNN that could distinguish a T from an X. Fast forward a few hours, and I had a deep CNN that could also handle an L.

If you are the type of person who likes to look at the completed LEGO design and figure it out yourself (I'm not), the fully implemented sheet is what I've linked above. Make a copy; then copy the sample data from README to L0:Input. Maybe try playing with convolutions on "Exploring Convolutions". Maybe try adding another feature detector for a letter like M or K.

If you are like me and prefer to have a guided tour through the thought process and the design, I've made a companion set of videos that (hopefully) explains the finer details. They also link to an earlier series that starts with building (and training!) a traditional neural network in a spreadsheet, if you are interested.

You are correct, it's a trendy word that is often overused for hype. I see it most often used in what we quaintly used to call the "blogosphere" in the ancient times of ten years ago.

I don't like SAFe for many reasons but I have seen it used successfully as an agile steppingstone. Some of the more original ideas with in SAFe (there aren't many) can even be useful. Anyway I don't think the idea of an ATO is a bad idea or anti agile. Even within an agile environment projects can exists and can be done in an agile way.

Due to badly run prince2/PMI projects people are allergic to anything remotely sounding like a project. So I get the autor when he thinks of ATO == PMO == PMI == waterfall == nightmare. But for larger organisation you will properly need something like a ATO to be successful. Like anything else a badly run, top down driven ATO will fail and make life difficult for anyone involved (this is also made clear in the original McKinsey article).
If its proven that Facebook intentionally allowed the data to flow out to third parties as opposed to a 'hack' as they put it, of which the data wasn't consented to be given, then I think there is a duty of the regulators / authorities to protect the interests of the public who are effected.

But that is probably wishful thinking.
