None of those things were said/done over social media—I could be wrong about Obama here. All of those statements and actions were covered by the media because they were newsworthy.

Some of Trump’s tweets are also newsworthy, of course. But the format of direct communication without context to millions of followers is a big part of how he was able to spread and maintain such a false view of reality.

Before, any statement from a president was reported on, and usually presented with additional context that includes fact-checking where possible, by a broad range of left- and right-leaning news outfits. That’s no guarantee that batshit-crazy lies don’t get through, as we saw with Iraq WMDs. But it generally provides better safeguards. Trump can still call a press conference, or even put out videos from the White House, any time he wants to. It is not a hardship. I’d argue that he liked Twitter precisely because he controlled the information, and could rely on people to take him at his word.

I realize that I’m painting kind of a rosy picture here, since so many trump followers already hate and distrust the media. But presidents got by without Twitter before trump and if it came down to it, whitehouse.gov is just as easy to check for new statements that aren’t edited by the MSM. And I think this is too little, too late from Twitter as well—they never should have made a separate set of rules for him. I don’t think your “future historical records” holds water here, since every tweet he’s made is already archived elsewhere, unless you were getting at something different.

As a similar thought exercise to yours, if in the administration’s view the election was stolen, that surely counts as a national emergency, which qualifies the president to “tweet” whatever he wants over the emergency broadcast system. There are plenty of other avenues he can use.
> understanding this 74 million

You believe you have no hope of understanding nearly half of all voters? You think 74 million people all think the same?
Wednesday's riots were not a threat to anything either. They knew it was coming days in advance and allowed it to proceed so it could be used as a pretext for the ongoing crackdown and consolidation of political and cultural dominance (as well as splitting U.S. populist factions onto multiple platforms where they will no longer see each other).
If you must have a native mobile app, you can download it from alternative stores. Or Parlour can just distribute as a web app.

Well where did they then? Find me a reference to something from a three letter agency, and I'll believe you. You're skirting around making the allegation via a rhetorical question.

If you're trying to pin something on me, keep in mind that I'm not even American, let alone a Democrat.
Maybe they’re not coordinating and they’re just cowardly. Alex Jones should have been pre-banned the moment anyone ever heard of him. The fact that he wasn’t was a clear indication that these platforms either didn’t know who he was, didn’t think he’d get the audience he did, or were simply afraid of the blowback.
One thing people never point out is that "rockstar programmers" or whatever "rockstars" are good at promoting themselves. In addition to being good at what they do and produce something unique, they will never just admit it but they talk about their accomplishments to whoever listens.
I am the maintainer of a Haskell like JIT compiler used for running complicated paring/rostering optimizations for major airlines. It has never had a bug in production thanks to 9000+ tests. We routinely add new features and push into production with no fear because of auto tests. This can be done in less than a day if urgent.

One of the subtitles for this is "a KickStarter for open source projects". I looked at their landing page and utterly failed to understand if this description is accurate for the funding part of this product.

However, if it is, I think it's a terrible model for OSS development, or for funding development in general. I develop Cursive (https://cursive-ide.com), an IDE for Clojure code. When I was starting out and deciding how to fund it, lots of people told me I should do a Kickstarter like Light Table, another popular Clojure IDE. I decided not to and instead did the old-school thing of actually charging for the value I create. 4 years later, Cursive is going great and Light Table has been dead for years, despite obtaining $315k (IIRC) in Kickstarter funding.

So what went wrong with Light Table? The problem is that that funding is not ongoing, it's a one-off thing. $315k sounds like a lot of money, but if you have a couple of people living in San Francisco, you burn through it very quickly. When that money runs out, what do you do? It's really hard to go back and ask for more, and even if you do you're only kicking the can down the road - a year later or whatever you have the same problem again.

Obviously Cursive is not directly comparable to OSS development since it's closed-source and commercial. But the principle remains the same - development needs ongoing funding, not lump sums. As distasteful as it is to many developers, the model that best matches the actual requirements of funding software development is subscription pricing. When I was discussing possible licensing models on my mailing list, one of my users made this point more eloquently than I could:

Software is never delivered as a complete static product, it evolves over time to meet the needs of its users. Perpetual licensing leaves developers in the awkward position of deciding to support that product forever for free, or releasing new paid-for versions regularly and stepping onto the feature treadmill where you have to keep delivering 'value' to attract users away from your old versions. Perpetual licensing is bad for developers and bad for users.

As I said above, I couldn't work out whether OpenTeams is actually more similar to Kickstarter or something like Patreon. I really hope they're aiming for ongoing funding and not one-off lump sums.
Apart from KickStarter and LinkedIn, what other projects/companies do you think would be considered as competitors?
That's... a year and a half.
Tell that to LLVM, Khronos, Intel, CodePlay.

Silly or not, they definitely see a market there.
We've been pretty insistent on colocation for internships in particular, just because we think synchronous and serendipitous interactions are really important in these kind of apprenticeships.

But I'd love to be wrong and discover a way to achieve the same quality of results remotely and asynchronously.
I don't know why Weird Al thought that was necessary, but this supposed less vs fewer "rule" does not describe actual modern or historical usage. Self-appointed grammarians can choose to stick to whatever usage they like, but going around with stickers and marker pens only makes them look like pedantic bores.

I prefer to imagine I am a consultant for "figuring out the world".

Often times I come across a problem inside an organisation and take it upon myself to dig down to the bottom and sort I out - happily introducing myself to HR or accounts or sales just following the trail. I seem to have no social blockers because I am working for the same company and therefore there is already a common aligned interest.

For networking that crosses organisational boundaries it's harder - but I try to remember we all have an interest in a better world.
> Teaching C, for instance, is nearly useless if you're trying to convey FP concepts or object-orientation.

C is superb for teaching how to manually implement polymorphic behavior in the absence of object-oriented features. Using it to demonstrate how (class-based) OO languages work should be standard in any course that has CS in its title. (Using it to demonstrate how to implement prototype-based inheritance would be an advanced course).
Yeah, the biggest part to becoming a salesman is being able to absorb the constant rejection and not have it impact your next attempt.
I would argue that Netflix has it's own culture, a company culture. Perhaps if the commenter was really put off by this he would not be a good fit and it would not work out for either of them. I know there are a lot of protected characteristics you can't use to make hiring decisions but this does not seem like one of them - seems like Netflix hires form all sorts of cultures and only people who are not offended by other cultures choices.
I think you misunderstand mental illness. While it is true that mental illness does come out in times of stress and a stressful environment doesn't help out, stress doesn't cause it except in select illnesses. (and even then, stress doesn't actually cause it).

I do agree with preventative measures, and there are some that can be taken, but this includes things like regular psychological screenings and physicals since some mental illnesses have biological markers: teaching people warning signs: teaching coping skills early on and making sure medication and real help are available to those that need it. A society with some empathy helps as well. But those are a long long way off and I'm not sure of the effectiveness of such things as a preventative measure: these might simply be a tool to catch mental illness early. Still positive but hardly preventative.

And the stress bit is a little misleading. My exhusband had schizophrenia and was on disability for it. Some days, it was ok. I worked, he did stuff around the house and took care of the dogs. Some days, the stress of having to shower was too much. It was impossible to eliminate the stress enough since so much of it was misreactions to very low stress levels. Unmedicated, it was all he could do to get the voices to give him mental peace - this led him to a suicide attempt. luckily, after that he always had the option to check himself into the hospital and go somewhere safe if it got to much for him (and I had the option to call and get him there if needed). Medicated, the voices were less, but didn't go away. He took his medication out of fear of things most of the time (most... ).
Condolences for your cat. It's hard to lose a member of the family.

I resonate with Calvin and Hobbes a lot. There's a mixture of real-world cynicism and blushing optimism that drives me through every day. Despite all the ups and downs, being alive is a beautiful thing.
>Schools can die and the free market can take care of education for those who want to learn.

I like that. All it takes is about 2 years for an adult to learn the basics of what one normally learns in the decade long schooling.

The free market will also ensure that we have less of the educated fools around. It's an experiment worth trying. A fool is better uneducated than educated. The illiterate peasants of yesteryears are the corporate workers of today.
Honestly, I was lucky enough to negotiate my total compensation around 3 years ago before the acquisition using an offer I had.

So while I'll never see another raise again, I have very decent overall total compensation, especially for the cost of living where I'm at.

The other side of it, is that I have about 3 months of vacation built up. The TLDR on that though is they tried to take it from me about a month ago (carry over policy that I was told I would be exempt from). I told them straight up I would leave that day, so they reneged in the end. But I have no clue how they wouldn't assume I'm going to just take it this year and look for another job.

So my play now is to enjoy the compensation while looking for another job.

I'm also pulling back heavily in my support to the organization, which is tough because I'm not used to putting in less than 110%.

I'm trying to look on the bright side though. I think this experience may have cured me of my tendency to be a workaholic.
To add to what aap mentioned, it also made it relatively easy to compile re3 and reVC with the original IDE it was written in - CodeWarrior 7. Some things accidentally made it in, like sized enums, but overall no major surgery required, or rather, far less than I expected.
fantastic explanation! Thanks so much for taking the time to write this up.
William Shakespeare:

"the scrimers of their nation, / He swore, had had neither motion, guard, nor eye, / If you opposed them."

King James Bible:

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Rudyard Kipling:

"But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, / When two strong men stand face to face, tho’ they come from the ends of the earth!"

Charles Dickens:

"I had youth and hope. I believe, beauty. It matters very little now. Neither of the three served or saved me."

Jane Austen:

"Mary's ailments lessened by having a constant companion, and their daily intercourse with the other family, since there was neither superior affection, confidence, nor employment in the cottage, to be interrupted by it, was rather an advantage."

Thomas Hardy:

"Half an hour passed yet again; neither man, woman, nor child returned."

Samuel Johnson:

"Among these, Mr. Savage was admitted to play the part of Sir Thomas Overbury, by which he gained no great reputation, the theatre being a province for which nature seems not to have designed him; for neither his voice, look, nor gesture were such as were expected on the stage"

The authors above are not cherry-picked, except that I happened to remember the Kipling and St Paul quotations. Not one of the notable English writers I looked up failed to provide me with at least one example of "neither" applying to more than two things.
I feel you so much. My parents died or bailed on me as a kid. I spent many years living in a van as an adult. Now that I have a house, just having a shower every day is like the greatest luxury to me. Forget the 4 seasons, Porsches, Rolexes. I lay in the shower for hours sometimes.
11 or 12 per million might better be described as "higher rates of anaphylaxis than other widely used vaccines". In absolute terms it's not a lot.

Even for younger adults, chances of dying if infected with Covid are much higher than that.
It's not so much capitalism as much as having good economics. Communism was economically advantageous to serfdom. Capitalism was economically advantageous to communism, which is why China's economy boomed after they started to embrace a market economy.
> I don’t see how patents acquired from SGI could possibly still be protected and require licensing.

It isn't those patents specifically, but the IP developed on top of the safe harbor that those additional patents provided at the time.

It is difficult at any particular point in time to develop IP in this space without infringing patents that are still in force, because even if you go back and base your work on patents that have expired, unless you are very careful and clever you will be infringing on newer patents that are themselves also based on those expired patents.

You may be able to show that some of the key claims of those newer patents were "obvious to a person having ordinary skill in the art" and/or come up with prior art to give yourself some wiggle room, but that's a lot of effort with an uncertain result.

A surer strategy is to patent new developments on top of current IP that, while you can't use them without licensing the original IP, neither can the holder of the original IP, and if your new stuff is in their critical path and engineering around it would be annoying enough, you may be able to get them to negotiate a cross-licensing arrangement or something similar.

IOW, if someone's moat is stopping you or their tolls are too high, start digging a moat around their moat to get them to cut you a deal.

It's still tricky though: you can't patent stuff too far ahead of where the original IP holder is going because you may guess wrong about where they (or the industry) is going to have to go, or even if you're right your patents may expire before they become important (and you ran out of money to keep building more IP on top because your innovation wasn't implementable yet or you were too early to market), and if you aren't far enough ahead you run the risk of them patenting whatever innovation you are working on before you do, or even having the "obvious to a person with ordinary skill in the art" shoe on the other foot (and their legal department is bigger than yours).
But not really. There is income inequality but wealthy people go broke all the time as do non-wealthy people get rich. The wealthy are a moving target.
Serious question: is there a program that you would recommend donating to to help combat homelessness?
Nononono, it is a total scam. They do not do any kind of evidence based treatment. Please stop spouting this nonsense here.
#4 of Rota's Ten Lessons I wish I had been Taught is "You are more likely to be remembered by your expository work":

"Let us look at two examples, beginning with Hilbert. When we think of Hilbert, we think of a few of his great theorems, like his basis theorem. But Hilbert's name is more often remembered for his work in number theory, his Zahlbericht, his book Foundations of Geometry and for his text on integral equations. The term "Hilbertspace" was introduced by Stone and von Neumann in recognition of Hilbert's textbook on integral equations, in which the word "spectrum" was first defined at least twenty years before the discovery of quantum mechanics. Hilbert's textbook on integral equations is in large part expository, leaning on the work of Hellinger and several other mathematicians whose names are now forgotten.

Similarly, Hilbert's Foundations of Geometry, the book that made Hilbert's name a household word among mathematicians, contains little original work, and reaps the harvest of the work of several geometers, such as Kohn, Schur (not the Schur you have heard of), Wiener (another Wiener), Pasch, Pieri and several other Italians.

Again, Hilbert's Zahlbericht, a fundamental contribution that revolutionized the field of number theory, was originally a survey that Hilbert was commissioned to write for publication in the Bulletin ofthe German Mathematical Society.

William Feller is another example. Feller is remembered as the author of the most successful treatise on probability ever written. Few probabilists of our day are able to cite more than a couple of Feller's research papers; most mathematicians are not even aware that Feller had a previous life in convex geometry.

Allow me to digress with a personal reminiscence. I sometimes publish in a branch of philosophy called phenomenology. After publishing my first paper in this subject, I felt deeply hurt when, at a meeting of the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy, I was rudely told in no uncertain terms that everything I wrote in my paper was well known. This scenario occurred more than once, and I was eventually forced to reconsider my publishing standards in phenomenology.

It so happens that the fundamental treatises of phenomenology are written in thick, heavy philosophical German. Tradition demands that no examples ever be given of what one is talking about. One day I decided, not without serious misgivings, to publish a paper that was essentially an updating of some paragraphs from a book by Edmund Husserl, with a few examples added. While I was waiting for the worst at the next meeting of the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy, a prominent phenomenologist rushed towards me with a smile on his face. He was full of praise for my paper, and he strongly encouraged me to further develop the novel and original ideas presented in it."

Actually, lots do, and the transients eat mammals.

I think they're smart enough to differentiate the ones (us) that would cause too many problems to eat.

In our area (Discovery Islands), there is no lack of humans swimming, or in kayaks, or diving. The transients are common here, far more than the residents. Of course, so are seals and sea lions.
We already have an answer to this, it’s called proof of stake. The logic is that mining is to distribute votes and make it very difficult (expensive) to have the majority of the votes.

Proof of work does this since it takes a lot of money to buy and run miners, the mining proves you spent this money so you get your votes.

The idea behind proof of stake is that you skip the mining entirely and just say the users with the most coins under their name get the most votes in the system. It achieves the same result without having to buy hardware or electricity.
> Physical addresses are just your RAM bytes numbered 1 through whatever.

Not really. There are lots of holes in the physical address map. Look at /proc/iomem. Look at all of the gunk in there at addresses lower than the amount of RAM you have. Look at the highest “System RAM” address. It will be higher than the amount of actual physical RAM that you have.
The point of UBI is that it isn't government funding, the government have no control how it is spent, people get to decide themselves how to spend it. People wont choose to spend it all on housing just like they currently don't choose to spend all of their disposable income on housing.

The problem was apparent on the second line of your post: "applications submitted". Submitting your CV is a loser's game.

If you're a good developer you likely have developer friends who work for different companies. These can also be people you've collaborated on open-source projects with, or met at conferences. If you've made a good impression on them, tell them that you're looking for a job. Either they'll be interested in getting you hired to their company and getting a reference bonus, or they could hook you up with friends of them who are looking for developers.
I imagine many people will feel the same way. Do you think the Oneness will let you alone or pull you in for your own good :-)
Warning: Critical remarks coming

"Python Tutor's large international user base provides a unique platform for my research. This work has collectively led to almost a dozen research papers and several major grants so far."

In other words, he wants the (extremely large) benefits of an open source project but doesn't want to waste his time on those that don't have value to him.

He's running a startup with a $0 price tag rather than an open source project. He doesn't deserve to get any credit, it's something he does purely for his own benefit, and he's giving open source projects in general a bad reputation. Nothing that he's said is a justification for ignoring communication.

> I don't want to use a proprietary language

CUDA is mostly just limited C++. A couple of the interesting points in the release notes: “Added support for CUDA Virtual Memory Management APIs.; 10.2 now includes libcu++, a parallel standard C++ library for GPUs.” Those things make CUDA even easier to treat like regular C++.

The language isn’t really the force keeping people in or out, the libraries & tools are. cuDNN, for example, is something you can’t get in OpenCL.
