> Two talented, smart people who are able to work together will produce a better solution than one person alone.

The issue I have with this statement is that working together does not require pairing. I agree with your statement, but not as support for pair programming.

> As you rotate pairs, context on the code base is shared and permeates the team faster. New onboards get up to speed at a remarkable pace--far better than the "uhhh so checkout the code. Mess around, see if you can get things running. Idk good luck" process I usually see on non-pairing teams.

None of this requires pairing to address. I do address this by sitting down with people and walking through code, to give an overview or when people have a concrete problem. A big problem I see with pairing in this context is that it promotes not learning how to learn from code. I see this often when I'm brought in to troubleshoot code with developers who look like deer in headlights when they are dealing with something out of the ordinary, because they've learned the hot spots of the code rather than actually reading through and understanding the conceptual basis of the system and the design behind it.

> If I ever run a company, I will select for engineers who aren't just comfortable with pairing, but actively enjoy it.

Having run companies, and hired many dozens of engineers, if you do so you'll end actively discriminating against many types of neuro-divergent people. Apart from the issue of whether or not you can actually show any benefits, you'll be one little conflict away from a lawsuit.

> I think companies can perfectly well operate with lone wolf engineers.

This is a false dichotomy. Nobody here has argued for "lone wolf engineers" as far as I can see.

> But you have to add a lot of process to wrap that mentality--code reviews, design sessions, context share-outs, multiple people singing off on PRs. These are things you can largely do away with if you're doing pairing correctly.

If you do away with those things just because you're pairing, you're setting yourself up for massive risks and failures.
> Yet they’ll hand the same kids back to the parents every day.

Well, no, they’ll hand each child back to their own parents. While this is overkill, the concept of screening for adult participation in school events related to liability related to all the children that aren't the individual adult’s children.
But if you sign up for services with papertrail@, what about when that service sends you something you need to take action on? (Update payment details, etc) Wouldn’t you miss it?
I have been struggling to get TI's (free) Code Composer Studio to recognize my MSP430FR2311 boards now on-and-off for months. They 'upgrade' the code, and then I can't program my devices. In fact, so far, I've spent more time trying to get the dev environment to work than developing my code. Not Fun.

Very cool when it does work, tho. I'd prefer to pay a little more for parts and get some English-based support.

I'll work through the Code Disposer Studio issues...again...
It's fair to point out that the 4th amendment doesnt exist for the 2/3rds of Americans that live near an international border.

We banned many Muslims and checked phones during peacetime, imagine what would happen if we were at war with a country near one of our borders.

> But it may hinder short-term survival (because you're spending time reinventing the wheel instead of building competitive product).

That's very rare. It's a common trope though and causes amazing examples of startup companies self-destructing themselves when they end up being bogged down in dependency maintenance wars where they're spending a lot of time just fighting all the issues in 100s of alpha libraries they've put on to be "faster". The argument for that was always the one you used. Adding a dependency isn't just "free code", it's also "free code that will probably break at some time and will need to be updated and deconflicted."

In my experience, a good set of older, tested and well maintained core depdenencies is usually much better for company, even if that means that they themselves maintain a piece of functionality that exists as a library.
More snot. Sorry that english isn't my first language and that I don't want my real identity known by people like you.
I find this very interesting, can you expand or provide links?
> When no one is fooled, why do they do it

People are fooled though. There are people in and outside of Russia who firmly believe the Russian narrative. (If you don't believe that, check the recent manifestations in Serbia)

Not the type of book you asked for, but i can recommend Propaganda by Edward L. Bernays. A hugely influential (series) of book(s).
Stop and frisking for guns is not getting into a thought crime type situation where what you say, are writing matters.

Asking to reviews your phone is.

One is a much more serious invasion of privacy in my view.

This is clear generally. We ALREADY walk through metal detectors at airports. We walk through body scanners. We do NOT expect to have to turn over our phones (unless going through a country border perhaps and if I expected it I'd just have a blank phone for that).

So we have already made the distinction here and it's not unreasonable (even if you don't agree that removing an assault weapon from a felon with a restraining order is different from going through someone's phone messages).
Interesting. I just find it pretty easy to just never delete and use "new." If something's super spammy I'll filter for it, of course, but even dividing "papertrail" and "humans" seems like an extra step I don't need.*

I think it was more or less the best tool for the job (according to them) back when their tech lead chose it and now they've built all their tech stack around it. I remember a blog post or interview where he said they wouldn't necessarily use OCaml if starting again right now. I don't think he was referring to going the way of Haskell either.
Wow, that is indeed wild. A fellow student with me in the 80s broke a school microscope and I remember it being such a big deal that lawyers and lawsuits and even threats of violence broke out. I don't remember the dollar figure but I remember thinking you could get a car for a whole lot less than a microscope. I want to say it was 10s of thousands.
Good luck with that. The list of companies to avoid is pretty long.
It used to be even crazier.
It's also pretty simple, I'm sure there are much better options readily available as libraries these days.

What if we tap sources of energy, like fusion and to some extent(*) fission, which are novel to the normal solar/earth system and release extra heat energy into the atmosphere? Since this study is obviously only relevant in the far future, why not add in likely future technologies to the mix?

It seems to me that at some point we could just wrap the earth in shutters(since we're talking far future anyway) or intentionally release greenhouse gasses to servo the planet's temp.

* - I believe much of the geothermal heat is actually heat from fission already so I don't know if fission energy changes the balance much.
A more interesting thing with Gmail is that it ignores dots. Foo@gmail.com is the same as f.oo or f.o.o! That's less common behavior, so it's less common for spammers to strip out.
A security company I contracted for has a policy when people are traveling to certain countries that they can't bring a company laptop or phone with them. They have to purchase a laptop while in the country to use and log onto the systems from there.
They are not taking the stick out of the water, because they don't have hands and are not looking at a real stick. They are being trained on a static data set, and a picture of a stick isn't a stick. They can try to extrapolate all they want, but they are fundamentally not going to be able to get more information out of the data than there exists.

And in a static photo of a bent stick, or a fluffy critter, there simply isn't any information to tell whether this is a bent stick or a stick in water; or whether it's a cat or a dog. The intelligent response is not "I don't know", and it's not "60% it's a cat, 40% it's a dog". It's "here is the set of actions that need to be taken to create more data to be able to settle the question".

And creating that set of actions is completely different from current approaches. No state of the art GAN can say "you need to view the subject from a steeper angle, check for a reflection to see if it's in water" or "poke it with a stick, see if it meows or barks", because they don't have enough information about the world in their train g sets to be able to even know that these are possibilities.
Not necessarily. Jailbroken device is needed to produce decrypted dump which is packaged back into an application file. This file then can be signed with a third party service using either an enterprise account or the personal user account (in which case it must be re-signed periodically).
FWIW, I've seen capitalization issues in datasheets. When they're this ubiquitous, it's better to use it as an opportunity to apply number sense as a sort of FEC for verbal understanding. A 480 millihertz ARM doesn't really make sense (if you were running at those rates, you're in such a niche that it has ISA considerations where ARM isn't a great option anymore). Similarly a 42 bit structure on an ostensibly 8 bit machine doesn't make sense. Yes it'd probably be a better world if everyone was consistent, but blindly assuming that they are doesn't really help anyone.
>If you're looking for a job in industry, my reply is to learn whatever is hot right now: C++, Java and C#--and probably Python, Ruby, PHP and Perl too. If, on the other hand, you're interested in enlightenment, academic research or a start-up, the criterion by which you should choose your next language is not employability, but expressiveness. In academic research and in entrepreneurship, you need to multiply your effectiveness as a programmer

Great, I'd love to see the studies on how much of a "multiplier" these leet languages give me. Hopefully I too can ascend to the mythical x10er because I use Lisp and Haskell.
In the UK they butcher the bitrate and even broadcast in mono just to cram more channels on each frequency. A lot of it sounds worse than analog FM. Pretty horrible practice
These are different levels of privacy invasion, at least in the US.

Going through a phone to check what you are thinking / saying is seen as more intrusive. So even in a stop and frisk, going through someone's phone would not generally be justified.

The rules here are very clear. In particular, even in a terry stop police generally are not authorized to seize / search your cell phone. But they can pat down your outer clothing for weapons.
It's been implemented in video games, at least! The "NARPAS SWORD" password in Metroid comes to mind.

The practical issue here is that a secret password to release the hounds or whatever is only useful if someone is able to use it at the appropriate time. It's hard to memorize a password you don't use. The number of cases where a "release the hounds" password is going to be usable and useful where a "log into admin account which has a 'release the hounds' button" wouldn't be is going to be very low.
Yes, I agree. Russia doesn't have an inherent right to a sphere of influence. But, it is also a principle in international relations that one nation-state should not increase its security at the expense of another. This situation is reminiscent of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

IEEE 754 NaN’s are arguably defined as different things, but that’s not the only system to use floating point Math and NaN.

Mathematically different infinities are not equivalent because infinity is not a number. How you represent that is dependent on the specific system involved.

What If Russia Loses?
I don't disagree with the premise that "we ought to avoid war if we can", but pacifism and appeasement to an actor not acting rationally or in good faith is not fruitful, historically speaking.

My question to you is, where do you draw the line between "I am willing to make such a concession to avoid a war" and "then let there be war"?

I am clearly more hawkish but I am curious to where you stand.
100% -- This is the only thing from GTD that's stuck with me very well; Strongly separate your emails and texts from your own "inbox of stuff to do." Filtering one to the other AND NOT RESPONDING should be a discrete, extremely conscious, step in your flow -- only stopping if it fits the 5 minute rule.
that said, there has been some promising research on using NNs for solving nonlinear pdes.
> do you not understand how pissing Russia off leads to sacrificing Ukrainian lives,

Russia has been literally inventing pretexts for this action and keeps inventing new ones. No one's outside action “pissing them off” (in any immediate sense) is relevant here. It's driven more by economic gain and national greatness ideology than as a response to any immediate action or inaction of outside actors.
I've been doing the same for a bit over two years, but using the sender's email address and a screening process instrumented with some app I wrote (Screenr[1], shameless plug). That gives you something similar to the process in Hey.

I don't think I'm using email wrong.

A stuffed mattress would be wise for those in the west too. After witnessing the freezing of accounts in Canada, I am making sure to have enough physical cash on hand to pay my mortgage, feed my family, and travel if need be.

History is full of examples where physical assets are essential. My wife's family had to flee China after their assets were frozen. Ukrainian and Russians today need to flee and have their assets frozen by their respective governments.
If a bank is independent of any government, then the government can’t control the flow of currency to prevent runaway inflation. It can’t do things it needs to do. You don’t want an “independent” bank. A bank has always been a safe way to store assets (gold, trusts, etc) and I think as long as the bank is storing “virtual currencies” nothing really changes. It’s when it allows you spend those currencies like cash that it will probably become a problem.
That's not true. People pick on others for a myriad of reasons.
Scryer Prolog v0.9.0: Greatly improved performance and many enhancements
You can even automate this with something like Percy that takes screenshots and does visual diffs at selected points in the test suite. You just have to be careful about including random/date-based data in your tests or you’ll get more diffs than expected. Also not quite a substitute for someone calling out “this was a major UX change”.
>he should explicitly say "I don't take bug reports" in a reasonably obvious place, out of common courtesy.

He did. In two very good and explanatory blog posts. The software license also states that there is no warranty implied etc. etc.

If that's not enough information then I don't know what is.
If you fleshed out the "trivial" point 2 as a proof, I think the result would be essentially the same as the article.

The only way you can make it substantially simpler is if you use a neuron whose nonlinearity makes it essentially a restatement of another result. For example, if the neurons are basically just Haar wavelets.
Communicating and advocating change isn't politics. That's, as you say, part of the work. It happens all the time in healthy environments, and at all levels.

Politics is the art of communication and other tactic and strategies to gain (or influence those who have) power and control. Spending time embellishing accomplishments or simply making sure our own contributions get better visibility in order to access higher level of seniority is a common political tactic. No difference in merit or abilities or result, but effort to navigate and manipulate perceptions to get endorsement.

I could only deplore my entire life that national/state affairs are over taken by political moves rather than focus on change.It may be what attracted me to tech initially, as it seemed pretty immune to politics (it works or it doesn't). Yet, to my astonishment, politics is prevalent now, and it is even surprisingly difficult to not get objections when I dare to share that observation. At least thank you for sparing me whataboutism fallacious counter arguments.

TL-DR: communication isn't limited to being political.

Anti terror laws and powers are abused and applied to a general population. The declared goals and real intention / outcome are 2 different things.

Yes and no. There is less fig leaf in case of Russia telling people fuck you and your freedoms but either is still deeply disgusting.
I think you've misunderstood the claim - they're saying that once the currents shut down, it would take 50 years for glaciers to form. But the currents are obviously still flowing today, and my understanding is that a collapse is projected to take many decades.

Personally, I find this a lot harder to reason about than views reacting to state changes and that state is the single source of truth of the UI
It’s a typical UK authoritarian attitude. The article mentions sdiehl and that guy basically worships state boot on the money supply: Can’t see the point of money that that queen doesn’t endorse. It’s all for criminals don’t you know… Anyone citing him is -100pt for credibility.

Yeah, I don’t trust the State with my money. The author has failed to address the issues of:

* Wartime savings and safe transfer of funds (escape!!)
* bank haircuts and bailouts
* money printer goes brrr
* state confiscation of bank funds by emergency order (Canada)
* state confiscation of bank funds by economic failure (Cyprus haircut)
* social credit systems linked to the monetary system (cbdc)
* connectivity to the global banking system (Russia/china)
* local failing fiat currencies in the world (lots of places, Lebanon and Turkey come to mind)

And each of those is a nuanced and deep discussion about the nature and philosophy of money.
Python came out in like the early 90s I think when the Berlin wall hadn't been knocked down for all that long. It is OLD and battle tested by many many high profile companies. Granted, sometimes it isn't the right tool and the JVM is. Same is true in reverse as Java has significantly more boiler plate than Python. I do agree Python has changed more over time.
You would be surprised at how often ridiculous arguments become valid arguments through continuous repetition as the insane arguments start to collect tiny bits and morsels of supporting anecdata over time.

In India, I recall laughing at the so called "love jihad" conspiracy theories that claimed that massive number of Muslim men are conspiring to wed hindu women to convert them to Islam. But now, this is a hot button election topic and anti-miscegenation laws are being passed and married couples are being harrassed and forcibly separated. The marital data contradicts this conspiracy but no one gives a shit.

It's worth noting that anti-semitism in nazi Germany emerged after 1920 on the basis of 2 separate absurd conspiracy theories. Jewish complicity with the allies and racial origin theory around the sunk island of Atlantis. It took only about 10-15 years for this theory to be bought by an entire nation.
You say no one can misunderstand what the author wrote without malice, but there is a saying that reads "you should not attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance". Especially among people outside of CS, there is currently a lot of hype regarding ML and AI in general, if one of those people looks around to check if a neural network can really do anything and founds this, what would they understand?
One thing that I don't understand about military structures is that putin is not holding every gun on the ground. All these orders are carried by officers of various ranks, these should be the one to target in order to stop this crisis.
Mostly we depend on the CI actions (running automated tests and linters), but every PR also creates a feature branch on the testing/staging environments so anybody can run the app _as of that branch_ online. The URL schema is kind of like

https://app-staging.foo.com/feature/add-sorting/

compared to the original

https://app-staging.foo.com/

given you have created a PR pointing from branch named feature/add-sorting to master.

This also makes it easier for our QA engineers to test things before they get merged to master.
Does this really need to be said in 2022? The advent of plus addressing was more or less driven because techies were already able to make custom addresses for their domain, and the + could be a standard thing that non-techies could use with their basic email account without needing to reconfigure things on the backend, or use a messy catch-all account.
The solution to piracy is not taking measures to prevent it, but rather offering a product so pirating would seem like a terrible alternative. Take Spotify as a prime example.

When I was a kid I pirated music like it was no ones business. I didn't really stop until Spotify came to the US and signed up. For the price of $10/month, I could listen to all the music I ever wanted. Even though at that point I had a good system for pirating music, I pretty much gave up pirating music because Spotify was just so damn good.

Spotify in my eyes, rather than trying to stop music piracy, just started to compete with it.
