I meant the quote on "just following orders" which is specifically the Nuremberg Defence.

I don't feel like it is reasonable to draw a direct analogy between Nazis and implementing browser level account logins.

I don't think anyone (for acceptable tolerances of "anyone") reads those at all.

I don't think a developer spending one hour of their time could produce something worth $20 to GIMP. I'm not convinced you could even get a build and Dev environment even set up in that time for most major OSS projects, much less

The serf metaphor is that you get protected by the Lord's army and are subservient to him. The Greek citizen model is that you have a voice in government, but you still can be kicked out or have your vote stripped.

That was their initial goal, but it's been years since they backed off of Dartium at this point.

IBM had corporate anthems going all the way back to before WW2, it isn't like Devo was prescient to the future on that point.

The point of the article is that the salaried people get to contribute a voice to the ethical decisions being made, including how does the company act in the rest of the world. That is kind of the opposite of living under a feudal Lord: the

Those are all M in the ESRB rating though (not AO). Despite the parallel in AO and PEGI18, they aren't really the perceived the same in the respective markets.

It really is exceptionally rare that I've reread any book or rewatch any movie, and in those cases it wasn't hard to get another copy of the book from the library or find the movie again on Netflix or wherever. Maybe you reuse all

Thanks! The potato example really didn't click for me but this one I can understand.

I'm curious what you mean by this: there is nothing "privileged" about the system of arithmetic that we usually use and this alternate definition. The math that we all learn up through highschool is a system with a carefully

Multiplication by x and division by x are inverses, except there is already the sole special case of x=0 where that isn't true. The common way to resolve that is and be consistent is to axiomatically decide: 1) there is no inverse of *

If a hn title said 1*0=0 could you reply "Oh, so 1=0/0?" The entire point of the article was suggesting you can define a consistent system without multiplication and division being entirely symmetrical (as they already are no

The current state of research seems to reflect that there is a balance: almost none of the most cited papers go really far out of theirs way to be trivially reproducible, even in computing where doing so is unusually much easier. If a paper

To make a build of a xaramin app for publishing to the iOS store dont you need a Mac at least for one stage? It looks like you do under the "Archive for Publishing" section here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us&#x

I think you too his question too literally: I think he meant "what does it even mean pragmatically and why do you expect funding to go to less novel but more easily reproducible results instead of more novel and harder to reproduce pap

Presumably the policy that iOS apps can only be built on Macs. It is actually against ToS, it is not just that Apple doesn't provide devtools on other operating systems.

I think you are giving too much credit to the uniqueness of this. It seems not any different than subreddits or similar: they just making inflammatory meme posts based on hot topics and then people are discussing them in in the moderated co

It doesn't seem off topic to me: it is reasonable to mention the end to end experience and value of particular work. The OP seems to be saying "the company might have gotten more value from investing in a different area than what

One problem with this graph is that not all links actually support the full language. J2objc actually places constraints on your code so in some sense it's really compiling some (large) subsets of Java.

I looked at js2py (the most surprising-to-me link in that chain) the code it generates already kind of explodes on loc. I think it's probably very unlikely there is a fixed point instead of an exponential explosion of your program as y

It is meaningfully different: with the glass example the company can take concrete action and get back into compliance, and no longer have ongoing issues. With any website (hackernews included) the only way they can actually completely prev

It seems trivially obvious to me that there is no way to guarantee and code you write won't be transformed into any runtime under arbitrary "optimization" (transformation). As in, you can have just a single numberic constant
