> you want all information to be free

Yes, I do.

And I also want it to be free from a cacophony of noise.

And big corporations also have the right to practice judgment and filter out noise, if they want to do so.

And Alex Jones is mostly noise, he barely provides any information.
>but it can never be "valid" or "invalid".

If someone arrives at opinion X by epistemologically faulty observations of the world or by eating up logical fallacies do you still think their opinion cannot be said to be invalid?
IIRC perforce is (was?) commonly used in teams with workflows involving large assets.
That concept sounds really interesting, but that link is broken for me.
Germany is even worse than you describe. The pension system managed by the government is not backed by any assets at all, but works by taking from the working population to the retired population. Given the age distribution in Germany this means young people are increasingly paying more to this system, while retired people receive less and less per person.

This was of course obvious already a while back, so the government decided to introduce additional ways to encourage saving for retirement (by giving tax discounts). However, they also managed to screw this up, because only contracts from certain insurance companies apply for these tax discounts. And these contracts have such a high management fee, that the real return of those constructs is negative.
<sarcasm>No obviously not, to evade taxes is to standup against communism! </sarcasm>
I'm conflicted on this. On one hand, I think it makes sense to over-communicate preferences because building consensus on these things is hard without it. On the other hand, I don't like how it causes everything to drag out...

Maybe it's worth trading off on going one way or another? Or maybe there's a happy medium somewhere...
I may be wrong but if he is who I think he is I suspect he may want to keep a lower profile due to the nature of the convictions. I suspect in his case shouting “hey, I did x” loudly on blogs and podcasts may be detrimental.

I must say I was not aware that people can be responsible for the maintenance of the sidewalk in front of their house if there is one. But it's quite common to have to shovel that sidewalk (or pay someone to do it)--at least in the city--and you can be fined if you don't. It's probably an easement on your property so you're responsible for it.
As discussed in the paper: there are multiple known causes for undercounting, and this analysis, by design, only catches one of them. I.e. the two main causes for undercounting would be insufficient counting resources and deliberate manipulation, and this method is designed to detect only deliberate manipulation. For such an analysis, you would expect neither extremely high correlation nor extremely high sensitivity.

That is exactly what many people connect to DIE. It was predictable, it is about PR, it is dishonest and you don't want to work at a corporation that has such a position. Money well spend in my opinion.

At some point the brand will feel that, it is only a matter of time. It will not be the cool jeans it tries to be. It will be a compliant and fearful corporation that is dishonest in its self presentation.

Do you think developers should have any responsibility for the quality of their code? In this thread, I see a lot of developers who like to think of themselves as "software engineers" trying to evade responsibility in a way that would shock members of any other engineering profession.
I would go so far as to suggest that the article is framed in a way designed to divide people into "Facebook haters and/or defenders of the exploited" and "sweatshop apologist" camps. Generally this has the side effect of making it difficult to be a global labor market understander.

I do worry Python will head down the path of C++ and turn into a monstrosity.

Can't we ever exercise some discipline and keep things simple in software? More features isn't strictly better, there's a hidden cost that adds up over time.

I'd welcome mere perf / memory improvements, security patches, and ancient feature removals for the next 5 years or so.
The best way to describe your past is “ethically challenged”. I too am an ethically challenged individual but by being somewhat upfront about this with my managers it has made me into an asset the company can trust with certain projects they’d rather not talk about with the company at large. The team of developers I work with are not formally acknowledged as a team, but our work often involves assembling the output of various disjoint teams into one solution that they’d probably object to building themselves as a whole.
You should probably cite some evidence for this.
To be clear the paper claims they developed their own methodology. And that this methodology lines up with the previous source:
"This figure is consistent with research conducted by Ratliff in 2014 (n. 5) and Chainalysis in 2017.6"

Whether you want to believe them is another issue, may simply be that they took the source and built a curve around it.

Happy for any other sources or surveys you care to share.

It sounds like you think scams and user error are not equivalent. Let's say user error losses are 150 bitcoin per day instead. That would suggest scams are 10X losses from user error.

This doesn't track for me. Let's assume there are 2-3 other competitive social networks that FB has to compete against. FB figures out how to do $thing that reduces its costs by 10%.

Why does it follow that FB is going to show fewer ads now?
Publishing an order book and the resulting trades is the entire point of an exchange.

And there is no way to manipulate this "order book", right? Just using my imagination here, but how about this:

Any offer to sell USDT for less than $1USD, the exchange itself buys it under whatever name they choose and then immediately lists it for sale at --- you guessed it $1USD.

Any order to sell USDT for more than $1USD just sits there unexecuted until a suitable idiot is found or the order is cancelled.

Meanwhile, any offer to buy/sell USDT at $1USD gets executed almost immediately.

By doing this they are manipulating the market and making money by fixing the price of USDT at $1USD. As long as all (or most) of the exchanges follow suit --- USDT stays pegged at $1USD --- even though it may only be worth $0.30 at maybe nothing at all --- you really have no way to *know*.

You have placed all your trust and blind faith in these unregulated exchanges that no one ever audits. You *assume* that they operate just like similar regulated markets but no one ever verifies this.

You know what happens when you ass-u-me too much, right?

I'd say that the .NET teams that I work with (probably 60-70 FTEs) are 80% Windows, 15% Mac, 5% Linux. A handful of the Windows folks are using WSL1/2. But we target Linux for everything but our oldest ( we've got a couple of 10-20+ years old codebases that are perpetually being phased out) legacy systems at this point.

Municipalities have learned to just ignore requests for speed bumps and traffic calming stops because the same people who ask for them will be right back in front of them next month complaining about noise and pollution from all the accelerating cars. That is a problem to which there's really no good solution that the town can implement. The net result is the initial complainers are still not satisfied and the silent majority who thought the area was fine the way it was are now annoyed by the stops or bumps. From a "keeping the townsfolk as happy as possible given the resources we have at our disposal" it's an obvious waste.

I am a programmer but I'm not sure this is defended enough:

So if Jailing people is supposed to stop (deter) others from murdering people, then why does it not follow that jailing programmers does not deter them from making coding errors. We are, after all, paid more than ANYONE else in the world for trade work.

Should we just start letting the murderers go?
Get the right dog.

We were looking for a dog mostly to deter other canids from going after our cats and wound up with a Swiss Mountain Dog.

This was not a dog that I enjoyed going for walks with because the dog could not keep up with me and my experience was mostly drag, drag, dragging it on a leash. Jack had a fascination for feces like the the way some people are fascinated with the internet and living on the farm it can't go six inches without finding another turd it could sniff for hours. This was another thing that eroded my feeling of connection with the dog.

The 130 pound dog would have been happy to crawl into our bed and would have wanted to be close to us but we were never going to be able to keep it clean enough for that to happen.

It didn't help that Jack's prior owner was somebody who just couldn't handle a dog that big so that Jack wasn't well trained. He had a good temperament and wasn't that hard to handle but we just didn't connect. We found Jack another owner who really loves swissies.

I ran with a pack of dogs as a kid so I have a lot of understanding of their body language but training a puppy is something that takes a lot of commitment and consistency and would be a learning challenge for me and my wife. (who teaches people to ride horses but relates to dogs less well than I do.) I am a big fan of German Shepherds, for instance, but early upbringing can make the difference between an intelligent and obedient companion and a sniveling nervous wreck that is always biting people.
> On the topic of cheating: In 6th grade spelling class, we had to write out our weekly spelling words 5 times each. We were allowed to handwrite, or type it out on a computer and hand in the printout. I wrote a computer program where I would input the spelling words as an array (only typing them once), and it would output a text file for me to print out and hand in.

Wow, I wonder what the goal of that exercise was. Copy/paste has been part of windows since at least 95, no? Regardless, I’d think the main goal of forcing repetitive writing is improving handwriting and word recognition, which require a pen(cil) and not a keyboard.

No worries! You can use the illustrations as you want.

This is the fulcrum point of the argument, and until you've been on the wrong side of, bluntly, legal bullshit, you just won't get it.
Thanks, I did have the sense that it would be impossible to formalize all the variations. So, perhaps I should not have written "exhaustive". I just would like something more complete than my initial searches revealed.

I think that, yes, eventually we will need to have the robot surgeons watch operations and listen to / question human surgeons. The problem is that we're not really able to have a robust teaching / learning conversation and show/tell with and AI yet.
dynamic pricing can be trivially done with toll roads. Plenty of countries have toll roads with transponder tags. See, the big problem here is that you could share the transponder with a friends/family/co-workers and that makes spying more difficult. Doubleplusungood.

Therefore, we must install it right into your car, preferably at the factory, so you cannot remove it easily to make sure the spying data we get is of the highest quality.

They just want to spy on you, and with time control your car remotely, and they'll come up with all sorts of pretzel logic to justify it.

Spying. There are no other reasons.

> Used judiciously

Which is exactly the problem. Yes, some people will use it judiciously.

Other people will just use it wherever possible. Yet others will mix it with the alternative style willy-nilly. Some won't use it at all. And as you so correctly point out, some people will try to be too clever with it.

The result is the exact opposite of what was originally intended by syntactic sugar: Instead of making code easier to read, it becomes harder.

The only way to , at least partially, prevent that, is for languages to be restrictive in their syntax. Yes, that may be more verbose at times. But I consider that a small price to pay for consistency.

These come with answers. It makes me wonder if "solutions" in the original article has been misinterpreted to mean "answers" in which case the complaints are much less warranted as you say.

Regardless, from my experience, people who studied solutions often failed to learn the requisite verification skills necessary and ended up doing poorly on the exam. I believe the student from the original article would have performed the same relative to her peers if they were all given solutions. The only difference is that the exam would have decided everything. No additional learning would have occurred with the solutions. Unfortunately, students expect attendance to warrant an automatic A in the course. From my experience, the #1 predictor for a student's rating of a course was their perceived standing in the course and how much they perceived the instructor cared about their success. If you are an instructor today, put an additional 2 homeworks in the syllabus and then drop two of them over the course of the semester to accommodate you students' busy schedules and that should boost your ratings. Extra points for the theatrical democratic process during class.
This website was absolutely indispensable for me, when CBVs were introduced. Really glad to see it still up and running!
Agreed.

It's weird, I am usually a very late adopter of technology. Being early here has allowed me to watch Python mutate into one of the things I fled from. When I heard someone say that the standard library is where code goes to die, I felt my heart break a little bit.
I think some countries are absolutely underreporting (either intentionally or due to poor infrastructure), but in the US in the last 10 months of 2020, the New York Times only finds 68,700 excess deaths (roughly 3% of all deaths) not attributed to COVID. A 3% increase could easily come from marginal increases in other causes.
Sorry, I didn't mean that in a pejorative way, probably poor choice of words. I just meant that it wasn't that common for students to come in. Some students I'd see more frequently at the university's tutorial centre than office hours, maybe because they preferred that format.

One interesting thing I remember though is that profs in science/math/engineering tended to have better attended office hours than humanities courses. Humanities profs usually seemed surprised to have someone show up during office hours, and I'd rarely meet anyone in the halls apart from humanities grad students.

TikTok has lots of content for nerds (though I think they prefer the term neurodivergent). But there is certainly a trend that TikTok content is comparatively shallow. For example Hank [1] and John Green [2] have quite nerdy content, but it's much shorter less developed thoughts than their youtube channel [3]. Or NileRed: his most recent TikTok[4] (eating capsaicin) is in no way comparable to his most recent YouTube[5] (synthesizing cotton candy from cotton balls). In terms of nerdy content it probably shines more with life advice than with science facts, simply because of the short video format.

Not sure about the age group, most of TikTok is probably targeted at ages 12-40.
