The speech in the video is political propaganda speech. Not only does it use emotional words but it uses value-laden words extensively... both to reinforce the character of the speaker and to underscore the speaker's message. The speaker wishes to come across as passionate because of the persuasive power of that kind of tone/tempo.

If a company's engineering culture is anything like that I'd be worried.

> The article confuses, quite thoroughly, aggression and passion.

Not necessarily. The speech doesn't have to be deliberately aggressive to still create the negative effects that stifle rationality and make it more difficult to rationally analyze the problem/decision.
I don't see it that way. What I meant however was that the application of justice in the future shouldn't be restricted because now of _apparent_ limitations in evidence collection.

For example if a rape victim doesn't get a rape-kit done does that mean that after a few months you declare the rapist to have served their time whilst at-large [obviously at that point you haven't determined legally if there was a rape] if a rape-kit is done then you give them 25 years when they could be held accountable before a court? The evidence doesn't have a bearing on the purpose of holding the criminal accountable.

It's always possible that a new technique could arrive to gather evidence or a new source of evidence - a hidden personal diary, say - turns up.
In one of the comments on the "featuritis" tagged issues:

> I add the label "featuritis" to remind us of extra features (eg. ldap) that we reject now but might want to reinspect later.

So it's not that httpd will never be extended beyond the basics, but these issues are simply out of scope right now. I like that approach.
>Spending time writing documentation does not mean less time is spent coding, it means less time is spent coding that day, but then that is offset by time gained when someone later has to modify it and can finish sooner, thereby increasing the time available for coding other features.

Exactly. But when managers don't see it that way, you have the utilization paradox: people are constantly working but constantly behind.

>So, the issue is not one of budget, but of accounting.

Yes and no. The two are intertwined. If accounting and estimation were correct, the budget would be correct on average. Instead, the budget is on average less that what it's supposed to be, because people do not account for everything.

> I wish there was no authority from power, and the companies were run democratically.

This makes sense b/c you seem to find the demagoguery in the video you linked appealing. While it is important to advocate for a position in a technical discussion, the ideal outcome is not emotional persuasion (as in politics) but a wider rational understanding among members of the group.

> don't take these arguments too seriously, because they are not

I think it depends. Usually the people whose tactics cause intimidation are not all that aware of it. Yes in an ideal world we could all undertake vociferous argument and have all participants contribute to their full potential -- but unfortunately an open forum argument culture will easily defer to the loudest or most intimidating voice even if the words coming out are not the smartest or most rational.
it's interesting that it's not enforced as a law. I can imagine that raising the fine to $200 and spending 1 or 2 months ticketing everybody would change behavior overnight. But obviously the majority of Germans don't think that's warranted.

This is probably the most pointless math argument. Apparently, some people consider it too cumbersome or confusing to write two glyphs instead of one, and would prefer to replace the whole thing with a single glyph. The chosen glyph happens to be one of the worst possible options, because it conflicts with torque (an angular force, which frequently appears in the same calculations as pi). This despite there being dozens of completely unused glyphs in the non-English non-Greek alphabets (Hebrew, Russian, etc).

It seems almost like a parody.
The problem is that because the front line reports and trusts the back line to investigate, and then the back line jumps to conclusions by assuming the front line only reports serious problems. Same problem when cops arrest and trust the lawyers, lawyers prosecute because they trust the cops, and juries convict because they trust the lawyers, and no one actually engages in critical thinking.
Perhaps it would still be effective out of a spraycan.
I work at a company whose main product is a small application using SOA of about 15 services. Managing these 15 services in development is getting to be a nightmare. I would love to know if docker is the right solution to manage these services. Spinning up 15 VMs on a MBP is not really feasible...

Sorry I think I misread the meaning of the parent.

>the procedural state Assange is in, is equivalent to the English word "charged". //

I thought they meant the English word being used in legal terms - so that's where the application of English law comes in to the equation. Hence I was asking if in England & Wales if the term "charged" could be actually applied to Assange's situation if the investigation and proceedings thus far had happened in England & Wales.

Primer on Cognitive Computing
If you immediately write someone off because they work with technologies you don't work with[1] then you're doing it wrong.

I've had a hell of a time interviewing for just this reason. For the first set of interviews, I was emphasizing my experience with patterns as opposed to technologies. That didn't work. I was routinely dismissed, despite decades of industry experience.

When I decided to grind through the latest buzzwords, and build a few sample apps, that's when interviewers got much more positive.

It's not how I would have interviewed people, and I do agree with you and tptacek, but it was an eye opening experience on how to play the game.

You clearly have not thought of the situations where using your real name can be dangerous (see for example activists) or just plain misleading for the purpose of the page (see for example, famous authors etc.). The factors of real life and people needing to hide behind a pseudonym should not be disregarded so absolutely by Facebook.

Better title: "Beware walls that bounce pee back" I was expecting an active solution, like a saline water detector and a sprinkler.

Also, from the article:

> It costs about $700 to cover six square meters with urine-repelling paint, which has raised questions over the idea's efficiency. According to a WorldViews calculation, one could buy more than 1,500 bottles of normal German beer for the same price.

It's the wrong comparison, because the people that buy beer are not the wall owners. You should compare the paint price with normal paint, detergent and cleaners, and the nice surprise of a clean wall in the morning.

I wonder why they don't just make more public toilets. If there are no toilets around, I don't wonder myself why people who drank a liter of beer start pissing on things that are surrounding them.
I wonder if it would be a better investment to build more public restrooms instead of spraying walls.

Jvm.go: A JVM written in Go
Both tau and pi are inconvenient because you often need fractional multiples like 1/6 or 3/4.

We should instead take the fundamental unit of angle measurement to be pi divided by a highly composite number, say 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 = 180. Most common angles will be then be integer multiples of this unit. Let's give this unit a name, say "degree".

One full rotation = 360 "degrees"

Half a rotation = 180 "degrees"

1/10 of a rotation = 36 "degrees"

etc.

I can't believe I'm the first person to think of this. It's so simple that even the ancient Greeks could have figured it out. I should write a full internet manifesto and try to convert the world.
> Likewise, if someone fails to use intoxicants or other recreational drugs responsibly and develops a debilitating habit, it makes more sense to do as we do for people who want to quit drinking or smoking, not as we do for people who rape and murder.

Pebble Time Kickstarter Drew 167% More Money After Apple Watch Event
Yeah. It's a completely ridiculous idea. Almost as if the project manager had an idea and pushed it through without thinking about the repercussions.

If it's really a problem why not use the speedometer to figure out if the train is moving? Or why not use something like the MTA's wheel rotation sensors? The guy who wrote the signal code for MTA said that they use wheel rotations to calculate when to play audio messages in-train and in-station... those "There is a queens-bound train N stations away". It's a simple idea.

I agree in general, but it is not so on the arXiv, where one of the most prominent links on the abstract page is "Download: PDF" (assuming that PDF is available).

I have a 10 year old desktop that cost $1,000 to build back then (1.5 GB of RAM, a 74 GB 10k RPM HDD, a 2 GHz 64bit AMD CPU, a 128 MB dedicated video card, Gigabyte motherboard, and Centurion case) that runs Windows 8 and Adobe Photoshop CS5 just fine. As long as you take care of the hardware, it will be useful for a long time. It's people who overtax their CPUs with crapware and let their systems overheat (not dusting, bad air flow, etc) which causes their hardware to degrade. I don't have licenses to run newer software, but I'm betting that desktop could handle it.
I catch these trains every day. People are confused by the warning about a "slight delay" from the driver as we approach the stations. I occasionally say "GPS doors" and everyone who was previously confused instantly adopts a "seriously?!" face. I have NO idea how such a knuckle-headed design flaw can make it all the way through design and build with even minimally aware designers and engineers in charge.
They should just follow America's lead, and force everyone caught urinating in public to register as a sex offender. I mean, it works here, right?

That sounds similar to the cost of a no-flush urinal. (Actually, I haven't looked into it too deeply, but I'd wager you could buy, install, and maintain a no-flush urinal for over a year at a cost of $2k.)
I think most of your arguments are valid, especially about the choice of glyph, tau is already used a ton. However, I think there is something to be said for the fact that, by virtue of being the ratio of C/R, there are exactly tau radians in a circle. This really does simplify the math, and gives more meaning to the constants on tau vs. pi.

There's more meaning from '3 * tau / 4' vs. '3 * pi / 2' because the constant tells you that you have exactly '3 / 4' of a circle. With pi, this is less obvious because there are '2 * pi' radians in a circle, but the 2 frequently disappears (like in my example), which leaves you with '3 / 2 of a half a circle', which isn't obvious how much that actually is. pi definitely does have it's uses when you're talking about the diameter, but when you're talking about something like radians, it makes more sense to use the ratio of circumference to radius rather then circumference to diameter. If we were using diameterians then it would make sense to use pi, since there would be exactly pi diameterians in a circle. Having them mismatched like we do creates a mess.

I'm comfortable sharing my phone number with friends and acquaintances because they're inside my network of trust. Maybe one of them is writing my number on the walls of bathroom stalls or selling it to spammers, who knows, but I guess you take that risk implicitly whenever you give someone your number. I trust my friends though.

I would say most of my friends have no idea that when they install the facebook app they are giving all of their contact info away to facebook. Sure, they click the button to give facebook permissions to "access their contact list", but I don't think most people assume the worst. That just what it takes to participate in the modern culture.

So when facebook is making a shadow account using my number and connections with friends, my privacy certainly feels violated. I did not choose to share anything with facebook. I chose to share things with my friends, and they unwittingly shared it with facebook. Giving your phone number to a friend is a reasonable thing to do. Someone wanting to install facebook on their phone is a reasonable thing to do. Facebook tracking connections of people who choose not to use (or participate in any way with) their service by essentially exploiting peoples naivete about its intentions, is not reasonable to me.

I can educate the people I know about it, but I doubt I will change anyones minds. Facebook has become a part of our culture, I certainly can't blame anyone for wanting to take part in it. I just wish facebook would leave me out of it and it doesn't.

I used to be for full legalization, then had to deal with one of my employees being on meth.

Being the big soppy that I am, I didn't fire her immediately and tried to help her get out of it.

I figured that showing her some of the joys of life might do, but it didn't.

I got her a new laptop, and she sold it to buy meth. At least she had the creance of formatting it, so eventually I got back the Steam credit.

I got her an electronics kit, and she sold it to buy meth.

I got her a small sailboat (only cost me $400 on craigslist, but I spent quite a few hours getting her seaworthy again) and she crashed it on the first outing after declaring that she had to come back to get a fix.

Eventually I told her to leave when I discovered that she was stealing from the "go to rat shack and grab a bag of resistors" prepaid card.
