The Economist is nothing but a mouthpiece for propaganda pushed by IMF, Brookings (a.k.a Rockefeller), Rothschilds, Goldman Sachs and further globalist swamp organizations.

They get posted here as often as any other shoddy trash. But their crap seems to "stick" more at the frontpage than the others (probably because of better writing skills).
More like Google Wave and Google Docs had a baby.
I was thinking more like 200M rows and 16M columns (sparse - stored as compressed rows), or perhaps a grid cell for every geohash address. The only solution I know of is part of custom GUI toolkit rendered with LWJGL in a desktop app that handled the former case (crashed the first time - worked fine a week later). Obviously far fewer elements would actually be resident in the client at any given time.

More common is that I just don't know how many columns there will be (or the datatype, optimal width, etc) until the user performs a series of actions and renders a particular view. I've shoehorned a solution into extjs that works (not scrolling, just dynamically defined), but I'm always looking for options.
Having a source code might help you in skipping the first step(decompile and disassemble), but you have to perform step 2 and 3 to analyse the behaviour of the program.

You might have to perform step 1 , if the source code had compiled third party libraries, which might contain hidden routines to perform malicious operations (such as decryption).
> For the same reason our job's don't stop when we go home (or turn off slack) either, we are essentially paid to think and our brains do not care about the arbitrary thresholds set by 9-5.

Speak for yourself. Some of us have been there, burnt out and had to rebuild our relationship with work in a healthy manner. I think no matter what you do, if it is thought work and you don't find a wat to turn it off, you are doing yourself a diservice.

I loved what I did for 10 years, then all of a sudden I didn't. It was like my brain had cottoned on to the fact that software was where all my stress came from and I felt ill even thinking about sitting at a computer. I have rebuilt my relationship with software into a more healthy one since then, but it bares mentioning time again. The software industry will burn your wick at both ends and then toss you asside when you're no longer young and stupid enough to work more than a normal work week.

Sorry to be so cynical, just be careful is all.

Microsoft took this matter into their own hands and the result ended up being Powershell.

In the first iteration, they just ported Korn shell to windows but it wasn't that useful. So after a couple of iterations they ended up with Powershell.

It's to aid the developer during development. All of them provide ways to hide this in production. But most developers remain ignorant or are lazy to bother about it.
The only proof I ever needed was when I attempted to file complaints with them.

I had let go of a house keeping company after the first .com bust - and 2 years later they attempted to sue me for $175 - which was completely fraudulent (they basically printed an excel table and dated it 2 years prior and stated it was for unpaid services, we went to small claims court in Los Gatos, I ended up winning - but Los Gatos ended up keeping my money they had me pay into escrow).

I filed a complaint against the BBB who argued to me that they were a company "in good standing" and "gold member" or some such.

The bailiff at the LG court told me the company was suing all their previous clients for small amounts as their "M.O." in an effort to make money because of the down-turn...
It's better in the UK to a degree. (shame about the weather...

Maybe worth trying out Portugal. (nice weather) and

Except for startups the main expense is the cost of living of founders (most of which turns out to be taxes...).

Portugal has a new tax regime for non-habitual tax residents. Which is a a flat tax rate of 20%. You can apply for the regime if you have not lived in Portugal for the last 5 years, and your job consists of a high-value-added activity of a scientific, technological or artistic nature. And the benefit lasts for 10 years. See: http://www.ibc-madeira.com/Tax_Regime_for_Non-habitual_Resid...

The main expense is the cost of living of founders

The cost of living in Portugal is lower than that of the UK, or Austria.
Arguments about marginal cost of production don't matter when the cost of enforcement is high. The issue of piracy ultimately comes down to whether agreements are enforceable. In the long run society won't help people enforce the unenforceable. If we come up with some form of technological fix that "knows" when an agreement has been broken then piracy will dwindle. Otherwise these laws will eventually be taken off the books, like adultery and other former crimes.

That's not meant as an ethical argument. Simply a forecast.

I have implemented it. It works well. You don't have to be the smartest person in the world to not screw up elementary programming problems. Mibbit handles a few million users without issue on a few VPSes.

Coincidentally, I was just looking into your question; this should answer your concern.

"Since every user has their own unique random salt, two users who happen to have the same password get different salted hashes. [If] the dictionary attack is foiled, the attacker cannot compute the hashes of every word in a dictionary once and then check every hash in the table for matches anymore. Rather, the attacker is going to have to re-hash the entire dictionary anew for every salt. A determined attacker who has compromised the server will have to mount an entire new dictionary attack against every user's salted hash, rather than being able to quickly scan the list for known hashes."

Honestly, given how many drugs have been allowed into the market as-is through the FDA, I'm not entirely sure how effective it has been. That said, I'm all for reducing patent protections all around (and eliminating all software patents), and decriminalizing most drugs...

That's why websites should stop including javascript from third party sources. For my analytics, I use liveinternet.ru because it runs the javascript locally on my website but passes the browser information via an image embed. Liveinternet has no ability to execute malicious code and yet I can still use them as a fully functioning analytics.
How do you share the files with your Vagrant VM? When we tried that at work, we noticed that trying to have a git repo on a share with Vagrant (rather than having it created within the VM's filesystem) was VERY slow.

I like the idea, and kudos for keeping your costs at 1%.

Putting on my company hat, and I'm no expert, I believe for this to work in Denmark (where I live), you would need to be able to put some form of goodwill on the balance sheet. Companies still need to pay tax on donations (at a reduced rate up to ~2300€/year for recognized charities).

Unfortunately, 0.5% of the Danish workforce is directly employed by the tax office. It's a serious threat over here.

It definitely is relevant here. If Google starts adding anything bad to Python, I need to know.

I’m not a Python dev myself, but I know how many programs use it. If Google found a way to add some sort of telemetry to some core Python functionality (pip maybe?), it’s worthwhile for me to know to never install Python on my computer. Or at least not a newer version... or at least block Google’s telemetry IPs

Several points to make

1. Drones are seemingly being proven as a battlefield weapon that presents a low cost threat to tanks and vehicles. One assumes drone vs drone is where the future dominance battle will be

2. Turkey is flexing its regional muscles

Direct link to specifically Ullman's lecture, in context of the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmnQoDjsWDA&list=PLOdeqCXq1t...

Takeaways (as of 1987):

- “it takes around a thousand hours of labour to write a book […] All in all, our talented specialist or so-so generalist can expect to net maybe $8000 over his book’s lifetime of perhaps five years.”

- “you need to aim for ten thousand domestic sales; say two thousand a year for five years. That’s 5–10% of the entire market in a topic like compilers or operating systems. There’s nothing off-the-wall about this, provided you find the right niche: Let yours be the hardest book on the subject, or the easiest.”

- If you drive a hard bargain with your publisher, increase your royalties, and sales: “your efforts can net you as much as […] say $100 per hour”.

(I imagine some of these numbers will no longer be accurate as of 2021, and even the nature of the publishing industry has changed in perhaps substantial ways…)

I suggest you read that more closely. There was no theory laid out until the late 60's, and "complexity theory" was not a field until the 70's. On the other hand, there is a long list of programming languages invented in the 50's.

To be precise, it's made from hydrogen and the current standard hydrogen is in turn made from methane (and the rest of the methane is dumped into the atmosphere as fossil CO2).
Most application developers won't worry about concurrent program design. Ever. More and more applications are becoming layered each year, and all of the hard work is done on the server side. Drawing an application's chrome takes little power in comparison.

Concurrent programming ends up in the data center, fussed over by the (relatively) small core of engineers and software developers. Everyone else just queries this data and makes it look good. Concurrently fetching data doesn't need a paradigm shift, just a good library. If you still need a few threads, you can use the same crummy techniques we've always used.

Cloud computing will alter Moore's Law on most devices. Devices may need twice as many transistors every 18 months, but the transistors are no longer on your desktop. They're mostly in some data center.
One way to look at things is that Perl 6 breaks backwards compatibility with Perl 5. Another is that Perl 6 has well designed language interop and evolution features that make it so easy to nicely use code and libs from other languages that backwards compatibility becomes irrelevant.

The big problem with Perl 6 has been that the implementation has trailed the ambitions of the design. But that's changing due to pieces like Inline::Perl5 falling in to place. (See my comments nearby for more details.)
This is so in line with French philosopher Baudrillard and his discourse on hyperreality. Baudrillard also mentions Disneyland in his work (can't recall in which one). Many of his ideas are tightly related to the Matrix saga and, to some extent, Neuromancer.

The effect might not even be physiological yet still be this prominent: having COVID-19 makes you doubly scared for your loved-ones, worry about your perception in the society (was I not careful enough?), worry about lingering side-effects, worry about missing extended time from work, etc. While this depends on the individual, you can notice effects of increased stress in large numbers.

Your suggestion of another control group with Covid-19-but-no-symptoms would help answer that question too, though ideally we'd want those who had Covid19 but didn't know it at all.

But anyway, this paper is only establishing correlation: getting to causation in medicine is the harder task and takes years or decades and even then it's usually inconclusive!

This is an excellent point. The whole thing becomes recursive pretty easily, at which point all of life succumbs to the halting problem. Most of the time we have to take our best guess and hope for the best.

Still, when attempting to learn from the past, usually after more information has become available, assessing how one did or did not affect those probabilities can be highly valuable in making better guesses in the future.
The mechanism is presumably that one article get on the front page, someone reads it, visits rest of the site, thinks "hey this is nice too", and submits it. Happens quite often that pages from the same site end up on the front page in bursts.

> The whole concept of a multi-platform framework is anti-innovation, anti-diversity

Explain to me please how 'shared open standards' are fundamentally different to 'multi-platform frameworks'? Isn't the purpose of both to 'generalize, to make make everything uniform and the same'. Of course there are disadvantages is standardising on anything. HTML5 and Javascript certainly have limitations but in a great many cases the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

> It's about "think alike", "Move together".

Actually that's Apple. Other platforms allow you to choose and open standards/platforms merely encourage you to cooperate but Apple actively prohibits choice.
They could of course have added support for the the existing standard that would have let them talk the the literally millions of exiting phones with this feature.
The fact it's bipartisan proves both sides sell you out every time, similar to Labor giving a full-throated endorsement to the encryption ban as well as metadata retention.

The couple lost their jobs -- that's why they weren't able to pay.

I had a friend buying a house in 2004-2005. She was getting first-time homebuyer's assistance from some semi-governmental agency: they assign you a person who walks you through the paperwork and gives advice on mortgages, presumably to prevent fraud and rip-offs. The guy was heavily pushing an adjustable-rate mortgage, though: "Look at these low rates for the first two years! And after that I'm sure they'll be reasonable." My friend was outraged, as someone who'd gone into risk management in lieu of college. "How could this guy be trying to convince me to sign up for unknown rates that will rise and could change at any time, when I could just get a 30-year mortgage like anyone else?"

Think of all the people in 2008 who didn't know not to get an ARM, and who might have been pushed into it by some "advice" they thought was good.
Clearly you never lived in England.
Honestly, years of using iTunes daily on Windows completely turned me off of the idea of switching to a Mac or an iPhone. Without exaggeration, it is one of the worst pieces of software I've used. It's bad enough that my next MP3 player probably won't be an iPod, despite generally being happy with the one I have.

Edit: and so this isn't just me ranting about iTunes (yet again, sorry), I think iTunes can actually harm Apple's image. It's tolerable if that's all you've used, but when compared to pretty much any other music player, it has glaring flaws (at least on Windows). To make a terrible continuation of the analogy, a Trojan Horse doesn't work if the Trojans hate your crappy horse and decide to never speak to you again.
That's probably true, but our goal wasn't to optimize floor space. And that's the problem with most open office layouts -- they're optimizing for the wrong thing. Open offices are not a magical panacea that makes workers happy and productive, but neither are they the reason your environment is unproductive. The way your team interacts is a bigger factor.

Viewing your office layout as an ideology is part of the problem. It's not about us-versus-them. It's about identifying your team's work styles and building a space to support them as best as you can.
The flip side is that this is helping those developers stay employable.

I thought I was being all nice and responsible with money: keep it on a single server, watch out for memory and CPU, minimize harm to the environment, outsource to maximize use of our limited resources. Now I'm looking elsewhere for employment and I have no "relevant" experience.

The net result of all this is that we have data centres occupying many hectares, filled with computers that are architecturally identical to a Packard Bell 486 desktop running MS-DOS long enough to boot a crippled and amateurish clone of Unix circa 1987, and an endless array of complex, kludged-up hardware and software components intended to hide all of that. I would ask for a show of hands from those who consider this progress, but too many are happily riding the gravy train this abomination enables.
