Come on, even if what you said wasn't absurd,i.e you can be racist if someone attacks you on Twitter, the NYT fired people for much, much less than the disgusting vitriol the woman posted for years.

even their incoherent stance on racism as illustrated in the Sarah Jeong debacle? I could live with a left bias but not their blatant hypocrisy.

It's not a good article, there is hardly any argument there, just the idea that humans are different repeated over and over. The underlying theme is the predictable SJW denial of biology as a determinant force in human affairs.

In other words,no.

Its a good book, with some useful insights, some interesting vignettes from the author's well lived life. He comes across as someone who genuinely wants to help others by teaching the system he developed - which he obviously regards as

Yes, I was shocked how good Kubuntu is. Gnome looks nice but the lack of configurability is a show stopper for many power users.

What trade off? They can both have internal innovation, which is hard, and steal others IP, which is easy.

China is unique in their institutional use of criminal IP theft as a state strategy to catch up and eventually surpass the United States.

Of course something drives women away from some professions, and similarly for men. Where is the outrage about gender parity in lumber jacking, oil rigs, fishing, truck driving, etc, at nauseum, for most if not all the most dangerous jobs i

I was with you until the "I preferred Windows" part. Windows right now is the most infuriating piece of software I can imagine for a developer. Forced upgrades? Forced advertisement? Gigantic, expensive SDKs with incomprehensible

For server side software the deployment environment is overwhelmingly Linux making Linux also the most straightforward choice for the development environment. Its not a slight on MacOS, its tooling might be just as wonderful as the Linux on

Yes. And it just works. Gnome is not at MacOS levels of polishing but you get a proper dev machine instead of a pretty SSH terminal into your real dev machine.

Thanks a lot. Any references you can share?

Can you write a little about your therapy? How does it work?

I have seen both under and over diagnosis. There are many people in high pressure environments that fake ADD/ADHD to get access to Aderall and other stimulants. But there are also many others, some adults and some children, who could b

Have you tried meditation?

My young daughter as ADD/ADHD. It is no joke. ADD/ADHD is an executive function deficit, with tremendous negative impact on one's ability to regulate behavior, resist distractions, plan and persist through a plan. You can ima

Sure. But what are these alternatives? 1% of the population are psychopaths and no one knows how to make them not be so. What else can we do but put them away?
859.
by zarkov99 9y ago
Simple in the sense that if you can identify this 1%, keeping them locked up or otherwise away from the rest of society longer will very effectively reduce crime. There is no way that therapy is going to be as effective. We are talking abou

Or, more simply, you could incarcerate repeat offenders for longer periods of time.

No, its enough if it just does that, but does it perfectly. Pen and paper are still superior when you are trying to think. If it can just archive/OCR your notes, maybe prettify your diagrams, I for one would pay $600 in an instant.

Agreed, that is the best book O'Reilly ever put out. An example of how grown up Engineering books should be written.

Definitely up there with Tolkien and much better than RR Martin. “When I was young, I had to choose between the life of being and the life of doing. And I leapt at the latter like a trout to a fly. But each deed you do, each act, binds you

Everybody is like you in some way or other but in a BJJ gym, for example, you will be forced to engage with people of different genders, ages, political affiliations, religious beliefs, intensity, IQ, toughness, education. I do not discount

by zarkov99 9y ago
Yes, this works, as does joining a gym where you do some sort of group activity, say a BJJ or other combat sport.

Precisely.

Will this support network drives? That has been a sore spot in every ssh on windows attempt I have seen so far.

Read "Life 3.0" for a number of simple but very plausible scenarios for how super intelligence could escape containment.

Rtags is great for code browsing, but completion is slow and dumb.
