Anonymous sites like Blind and 4chan (and other semi-anonymous sites like Twitter and its clones) seem to have the same problem but in reverse, where everything is overloaded with negativity and creates that strong signal, even if it's unwarranted. There is a reason conspiracy theories, misinformation, racism, and other cynical rhetoric tend to spread so well on those sites. I think Twitter and Blind have improved their moderation recently... but 4chan seems to always be the same cesspool.
> The problem is these things waste social bandwith: Someone reading your code for maintenance or code review will first declare the code bad (GOTO is ugly! SHA-1 is insecure!), then you have to signal to them that it's actually OK in this case, then they have to convince themselves that actually it is OK.

This is something that changes over time as the new convention gets reinforced. If you don't push back it will never change. In other words, the conventional way of doing things needs to be spread organically.

A lot of conventions work that way. Since I'm in Web Dev, one example I can think of is the change from fat models to service objects in MVC. Fat models used to be seen as the way of doing things. But, now that many of us have encountered giant balls of mud caused by this pattern, we've adapted a new convention and moved on.

If you can provide good uses of goto in the wild and push back against opposition the same thing will happen, in my opinion. Eventually the opposition goes away.

Does Zulu tone have a tool to intersect different times together to find the best time? So it makes sure that’s it’s in a range of good times to meet. Like normal working hours from 7-8 to 18-19. That’s what would be import with finding the best time and where hTime’s clocks becomes more useful. But that also could be implemented in Zulu I believe.

That's so obvious it wouldn't have occurred to me that it had a name. And it still looks 100% within "5th grade math" to me.

[edit] Wikipediaing "Euler integration", which redirects to "Euler method", it's not clear to me at all how knowing the stuff on that page (and it's Wikipedia, so nothing on the page looks like 5th grade math, even if it actually is) is particularly helpful with coming up with those two addition formulas.

[edit edit] I don't mean the tone of any of this to be hostile—it's so hard to convey tone in plain text—but I'm just legitimately not following how this is connected, except in a "well you could derive these two very simple things from a very powerful, more complex, general method that's useful for a bunch of other stuff too—there's no particular reason to, but you could" sort of way.

Come back to academia, I keep along stupid questions all the time. Granted, my defence is I'm no longer paid to do science so don't mind looking stupid in that regard infront of the boss. I just build things for them to use.

It's remarkable how many of the "stupid questions" ends up sounding like the synonymous "reviewer 1". And how many end up catching out high level problems which are lost in the detail in something new and exiting.

I'm not sure I follow the reasoning. A software team can be large or small (or solo!). The team can decide how granular to make each role based on the goals at hand and target platform.

I think that was the most impactful part. I'm curious what you think though.

If you were to dissect what makes actually makes a gifted and talented program different or better is it actually anything to do with the selection part of it or is it a result of being surrounded with peers from better socioeconomic backgrounds who are more likely to make it through the selection in the first place?

Take another step back and also consider if you had a twin with virtually the same upbringing as you up until your mom forced you to try out for the magnet program, would they benefit more or less from the g&t school existing or if that funding had been distributed to their under-funded schools? Would more kids on average benefit from the existence of these programs than not?

Obviously there are other confounding factors here but I'll enter this in as a counter-anecdote, I went to a small suburban school district in the north east that had a single, well-funded public high school, our graduation rates, testing outcomes, and college acceptance rates were comparable with g&t schools in other states.
Probably coming too late to the discussion, but commenting anyway...

The issue I think is that people today read "GOTO Considered Harmful" without really understanding the world at the time.

Other than simple integer FOR loops, basically all control-flow in the FORTRAN of those days was accomplished with GOTO -- and to numbered lines, not labels. Things we take for granted in all languages today like { code blocks } didn't exist.

Indeed the first thing you do when you try to understand code of that era is to print it out, get your markers out, and start drawing arrows all over the green-bar paper so you can start to make some sense of where control flow is going.

In that world, yes, GOTO was a big problem and its use was rightly replaced with the structured control flow that we all use today. But that world has also been nearly gone for 30 years now. It's completely unrelated to using a C "goto" statement with a well-chosen label name in order to accomplish some otherwise-awkward control flow.

On projects I've worked on I tend to develop a reputation for heavy goto use and I do so unapologetically. Sometimes it honestly is the cleanest way to implement something and I don't think it should be feared one bit.

Just because it was a bad idea to do everything with a GOTO 60 years ago shouldn't mean don't do some things with goto today.

I view performance anxiety and fear of looking stupid as a beginner as completely separate things.

I'm not sure what a 'non-traditional' family is. It has nothing to do with judgement, just a return to a culture that produces success, including in the form of a culture that can reproduce itself. Cultures that fail to do such things and transmit their beliefs on to the next generation are doomed to fail, which is why the vast majority of extant cultures that have survived several thousands of years, typically mainly celebrate the kinds of families naturally lead to children and provide a proper environment for child-rearing.

You can argue whether it's good or bad. Natural selection has no moral value attached to it. It's a simple matter of survival.
Yes and no, there are tons of folks who are part of the haskell culture who recognize the need for more context (myself included).

But I think GP comment summarized it pretty well, it shows how they all relate to each other in a concise way. If its not enough of an explanation, ok, look for another.

Of course, there are lots of libraries that only have type signatures as documentation. I think most people think that's less than optimal, but the haskell community is much smaller than many others. So what you'll want to do is look for a blog post or something that explains it in more detail.

> The reality is that uber and lyft are just not actually competitive in Manhattan < 90st if you need to go to Manhattan/Brooklyn.

In most of New York taxis are nowhere to be found and they often refuse to leave Manhattan/Brownstone Brooklyn. Another big thing is that it's not big deal to walk to Ave to flag a taxi if you are young, healthy and it's not pouring rain (there are no taxis on streets) but imaging if you have limited mobility or have to carry heavy bags. Uber/Lyft is godsend in those cases.

I have been on Roku forever now and I'm always wondering about these people freaking out about the ads there. It is no where close to the ad intrusion of YouTube. They are not animated, have no sound, and basically stay out of the way. It's like the shinning example of how to do ads.

Sometimes good opportunities are at times when you're not ready for them. We all get some sort of a "shot" but it's very difficult to see sometimes, or to make the risky move of accepting it.

The Yahoo article lists numerous possible causes of the few thousand extra deaths, none of which are related to vaccination. For instance, there were 23 million fewer GP visits in 2020 compared to 2019. And most of causes of the additional deaths saw large decreases during the pandemic. Additionally, elective operations fell by 3.5 million from March 2020 to February 2021.

Also, in your first link, Figure 2 seems to contradict what you're saying. Higher vaccination rates do lead to fewer covid cases per 100,000 people.
> Uber/Lyft take away all the friction of finding a cab, telling it where to go and paying. The reputation system does a decent (but obviously not perfect) job of curbing the worst actors (drivers and riders).

Except for all the drivers who cancel on you, all the trips that it refuses to find a driver for, the drivers who go the wrong way and don't speak English... oh and while they're at it, not only do they screw over the customer, but they also screw over the driver.
I think this is a good analogy. But isn't it possible that some people really do not know that they should go on youtube and record their stories? It seems like the argument is trying to a priori settle the question of whether you should apply "Voice or exit" [1]

There is a school of thought, and I tend to agree with it, that "a position of public trust" is exactly and specifically what is granted to a corporation by granting it its special, fictive-person, liability-shielding status. The veneration of "corporations as psychopaths" is more of a deification of the current state, not an aspirational one. It doesn't have to be that way, and so we absolutely can fault Intuit for acting against that public trust. Intuit has responsibilities to the society that grants it its charter, and that includes not peeing in the public pool.

(That school of thought, yeah, puts most companies in a real bad light. And? Well? Yes. They have earned it.)
High vaccination rates are however highly correlated with low hospitalization rates.

Also, that Yahoo article does not say what you're implying that it does. It is discussing two issues: people forgoing preventative medical care, and the strain on the hospital system. Over the past year and a half, these have resulted in substandard medical care for a lot of people, raising the death rate from non-COVID causes. Your comment implies that the article is about people being killed by the vaccine, which is a severe mischaracterization of what is actually written.

2. How can privacy be protected when converting coins into fiat currency?

3. Why would anyone trade these coins, when they can simply get their own freshly issued?

3. How can the coins have any value when nobody trades them?
