I think there are multiple ethnic groups more likely to be poor or in jail. I have no idea whether genetics is a cause, I doubt it, but it is a perfectly reasonable hypothesis and thinking it is true does not make one racist.

This is a hugely fallacious argument. Everyone focuses on something, if you want to extend your argument he should have also focused on diet, type of exercise, type of housing slaves are kept in, etc. Focusing on every single factor that co

This is the status quo for meetings in general though, yes? In both cases unless you have someone scribing, you have no easy to refer to records.

Nice package! Unfortunately is completely falling on its face for my ruby on rails project, but I'm sure it can be improved.

Yeah, I hadn't heard about LendUp and went to go check it out. Definitely looks better than a payday loan.

Except, of course, when it is already written and people are just ignorant of tools that have been around for many many years.

Yeah, the article mentioned that the husband was trying to show them articles talking about inhalers causing false positives but no one cared. It is a weird situation because on one hand, they should trust the actual tests over the word of

The main problem is people who aren't allowed to take a couple hours off without being threatened with firing. Even if they are able to, they may get paid less which for someone in/near poverty can be unacceptable. Most retail and

My thought when I read that in the article was "Physical Work -> Cognitive Work -> Creative work". So I think the third kind of work humans will move to is creative(Since AI are so far incapable of being actually creative).

Unless, of course, he actually has forgotten the password after 7 months+ of not using it.

It does IMHO, but the court apparently disagrees.

He isn't getting the chance to argue it in court, from what i've seen.

Neither of those are standard work.

Indeed.

Oh yeah, I mean I always write tests for anything for work. I don't do TDD all the time though, sometimes I write the tests after the code. A language/framework that forced me to do TDD would just piss me off, which was my origina

by mordocai 10y ago
Is there anything that actually "enforces" TDD? Because if there is I want to stay away from it.

Yes, but normally you get to inspect that code before compiling and executing if you wish to.

Necroing this, but the proper thing to do is just don't indefinitely jail people without proof of something rather than "requiring" such a showing(you can't really require it since, barring torture/some kind of mind

I can guarantee that as available computing resources increase every DRM available now will be broken and new ones will have to be created to keep up. That's not what the EFF meant though.

I -might- be interested but I refuse to work with paypal. Edit: Unfortunately, I also don't really do bitcoin and have never heard of the other two options.

Sure, but how else can it tell? It isn't like code inherently has some kind of magical tag that tells you the license. So they created a format to tell the license.

Good luck showing that in many cases. Especially if it is an encrypted external drive. I think in most cases they aren't going to be able to show "beyond reasonable doubt" that a person definitely still knows the password.

Whatever your feelings on the existence (or not) of the "gender pay gap" the process the article describes seems perfectly fair. I think people are getting hung up on the gender part and not seeing the "fair pay" system

The problem is that it is actually possible that someone no longer knows the password to some piece of encrypted data. If the government can just hold you indefinitely because they don't believe you then that is a huge issue.

I don't know if it is possible in any practically used statically typed languages, but I can think of nothing that would prevent you from doing metaprogramming in a statically typed language on a theoretical basis. It might be a bit ha

On point 2, I don't think an optional type checker has any real downsides that I can think of (optional because with typescript you don't have to add type annotations to your code). It helps with debugging and possibly performance

I believe the discussion in the other comment thread is correct in that GCC generates better binaries.
