If you're the best programmer you know, then you're probably not in a competitive enough market to drive prices up for programmers.

In a place like Silicon Valley, it's impossible to not meet somebody that's better than you.

Either that, or I'm seriously underestimating your programming ability!
Just because there are more doomsayers the closer that we get to the apocalypse, doesn't mean that apocalypse isn't going to happen just because "it hasn't happened yet."

One of the wonderful things about CSS is that because it's a domain-specific language, it can afford to be 100% declarative, with 100% deterministic behavior, and doesn't need any exceptions to be made or trap-doors to be added. The trap-door is JavaScript.

So, the more things you can move over into CSS, the more things exist in this beautiful pure context that's highly debuggable thanks to modern browser tooling (and that's not even getting into the performance advantages vs doing things in JS).

Put simply: it's really exciting every time CSS gets a new "real programming language" feature, even if these things are basic and familiar in other programming contexts. In this case we're not really getting a "new" feature, but people are used to thinking of CSS variables as like, a theming mechanism. I for one had never thought to use them as an API data format. The author is probing the boundaries of what's possible to do with them, and that's exciting and interesting.

As an aside: there's also a huge community that loves to just push and abuse HTML/CSS as far as they can for the sport of it. CSS-Tricks and its sibling-site CodePen are at the center of that community. To people like that, the idea of an API endpoint that uses a stylesheet to relay raw data for arbitrary usage is pretty cool.
So Obama, Biden, Bush, et. al. should be banned too for all the completely unnecessary wars/drone strikes that killed civilians?? Or is killing civilians sometimes accepted?

This move is entirely political, Twitter should just man up and accept it, instead of insulting our intelligence.
I'm someone that has never borrowed money long term. I have credit cards but I pay them off at the end of the month. I have zero debt. A debt jubilee would be very unfair to all of us who don't like and don't have debt.

But these are extreme circumstances under very hard times so I am 100% for debt forgiveness. If we don't the payment of debt will suck up most of the available money and there will be little for the overall economy. I dought that we would go into a depression since the government safety net would go into effect. We are starting to see it now. But growth will come to a crawl and stagflation will show its ugly face as production slows and the money supply increases. Also, companies will start to layoff workers due to a lack of consumer demand and make matters worse. The social aspects of unemployment might even be worse than the pandemic itself.

I also see nationalism increasing and leading to the destabilization of many governments.

We need to get past the fairness aspect and know that if we are selfish we will all lose in the long term. This is the time for debt forgiveness.

The way to get past the feeling of unfairness is to have the federal reserve buy a huge chunk of the debt and forgive it outright or have people pay it with zero interest over a very long long term where it has little impact on the household.

There are no easy answers but debt forgiveness is a good starting point.

There's a reason why security and features are in constant tension; it doesn't really work to just ignore security when it happens to be features that you want.

You'd better hope that your niche hardware isn't reprogrammable via USB to become an ethernet device that snoops all of your network traffic and injects attacks. It's pretty safe to assume that there is no such attack now. But if it ever happens at any point in the future, then either you'll get hacked, or your device will be blocked and the configuration app will stop working.

People remember Clinton as being particularly good because he exited on an economic high note and was followed by 9/11, the dot-com crash and two decades long wars. Then combine that with all the people who aren't old enough to remember the news from back then who think it was just a blowjob and the blowjob wasn't more of an Al Capone tax evasion type of moment and it's pretty easy to see why he has such a positive reputation.

To your last point: the issue here is that Facebook is not interested in making users happy. They are interested in keeping them engaged so that they can sell ads. No studies are needed to show that if users' happiness or well-being gets them in the way of selling more ads, fuck the users.

My main recollection of DOS was never ending fiddling with autoexec.bat and config.sys to try and free up enough conventional memory to run some game... Does DosBox help emulate back all that nostalgic experience?
Holy cow, those solutions are tiny. They make me feel small and inadequate. Once I'm comfortable with functional programming, those solutions become readable? Or is it a fundamental truth about functional code that it tends to be concise but suffers in terms of being able to easily see at-a-glance what it's actually doing?

Hey, somebody has a patent on pre-loading the compression tables with frequently-encountered strings. So heads up.

It was patented in the context of headers for text messages, which are sent for every message, are generally larger than the message but appear exactly once in each text so never end up in the compression table. Each side of the conversation runs the zip algorithm on the header strings, discards the output up to that point, then compress the text message from that point. On receive they preload the algorithm with the checkpointed data structures from the preload-compression.

This Google technique is probably different enough to be off their radar. But who knows.

Is it ever possible to state that security is "solved"? People, and organisms in general, are clever.
That's mostly true, but the culture dominated even in a small, non-corporate startup that I worked for in Scottsdale. Once, a few of us were attempting to utilize the CSLA framework in our app, but as soon as the CFO caught wind of the required reading of third party docs, etc, he stopped the effort dead in its tracks, because it would mean "having to learn something new," and that statement pretty much sums up the prevalent mentality in the .NET community.
The current statistics are:

total revenue: $301,252.18
number of purchases: 43,819
average purchase: $6.87
average windows: $5.72
average mac: $7.72
average linux: $13.72

Based on their "total revenue by platform" chart, I estimate the per-platform revenues to be:

windows: ~54% , or ~$162,676.18
mac: ~23% , or ~$69,288
linux: ~23% , or ~$69,288

An approximate Linux revenue of ~$69,288 and average purchase of $13.72 gives us ~5050 total Linux purchases.

Now, it's true that a very large contribution could influence the mean. However, they also include a list of the top 10 contributions:

top 10 contributions:

$1,000
$700
$666
$650
$600
$500
$500
$337.42
$313.37
$300

We can assume that every one of these was designated a Linux purchase, treat them as outliers, and remove them from the statistics. The adjusted statistics are:

outlier revenue: $5,566.79

adjusted total revenue: $295,685.39
adjusted linux revenue: ~$63,721.21
adjusted linux average: $12.61

So even removing the top 10, Linux users are still significantly more generous (on average) than users of the other two major platforms.

You could argue that a sufficient number of Linux users donating in the $100-$300 range could skew the results, but I believe such a high number of extremely generous users would prove my point anyway.
"gain modelling superpowers" makes no sense to someone who doesn't already understand what modelling is and how is can be used. It is also a comical idea to try to market a book toward students these days - getting even a high school student to read anything longer than a few sentences in one sitting is a miracle.

Welcome to Apple. If you upgrade the CPU and RAM too you'll be at $1049 in which case you might as well get the $999 model.
I think a good approach would be to give a low-value assignment at the beginning of the course. Don't mention that it's low-value. When people plagiarize, give them zero credit on the assignment and explain way. I suspect the rates on subsequent assignments would drop quite a bit.

No worries about the link. You can easily burn through that book in a few hours but the concepts are timeless.

What stuff do you know right now? Where do your interests lie? If you are halfway decent at programming in ruby/python/c++ you should be able to hammer your way into a nice job at a company of your choice. I was helping my last employer interview programmers and it was abysmal how many could not even pass a basic FizzBuzz test in the language of their choosing.

So, singer-hackers, does the 80/20 rule apply to this, too? I'm not too interested in becoming a great singer, but I'd certainly practice more guitar playing (and would dare to grab it while sitting at a campfire) if I wouldn't be scared of my own voice...

(No, karaoke is straight out. Compared to me, Fran Drescher is the Queen of the Night. I think I actually sounded better while my voice was breaking.)

>There are codebases out there measured in the hundreds of MLOC.

I agree with your argument, but I think in practice trying to "port" something with hundreds of MLOC is a losing battle (especially away from C). By the time you finished porting to rust (or your other language of the week), rust will likely have come and gone and will be been replaced by something either better or "better".

IMO people should spend less time trying to re-invent the wheel in rust and more time either improving C or the tooling / static analysis for C. It would avoid _so many_ of these issues.

Could you elaborate on this, I'm not exactly sure what you mean.
So this article is six years old. Any update on the supposition? I guess no one's figured out yet whether the recommended magic number is a back door or not. My money is definitely on corrupted.

Odd the article doesn't mention the obvious conclusion; that Bitcoin was designed by NSA, or folks with intimate knowledge of NSA's back doors. I've long maintained that a US government agency is the most likely developer of Bitcoin (mostly because no one else could sit on that kind of $$$ forever). NSA is the most obvious agency. The question is.. why? I can speculate on lots of reasons.

>How much value does the janitorial staff create?

When the company hires them, the company has decided that the company obtains enough value for the transaction. So does the janitorial staff.

>And yet they're having to fight for fair wages? They're the most valuable labor in the company!

Not if someone else is willing to do the job for the same pay - this is market clearing. They're paid what it takes to fill the position, and they show up for that wage. Both sides benefit, otherwise the side without getting benefit would not show up.
I’ve heard some variant of that for over two decades and still here we are.
My point is, I am comparing temporal dimension to temporal dimension regardless of how many special dimensions there are. And I don’t understand the argument that an audio sample is more analogous to a pixel that it is a frame on a time line.
From a security perspective, access to emacs should be considered just as dangerous as a shell. As a trivial example, M-x shell will bring up a shell within emacs.
I thought a big benefit of compiled languages was that they are architecturally agnostic.
I'd have to assume that Apple was really comfortable with the terms of their component supply contracts with Samsung, and that Samsung can't find a way to get out of them at this point.
that seems to change over time. I just bought my fourth one, and comparing it to my third it's noticeably stiffer.
The saying is much older than that. "Art is never finished, only abandoned" seems to be widely attributed to de Vinci and "A poem is never finished, only abandoned" to Paul Valery.
On the last point, is there a reason it should be different for software than books? Publishers can't put resale restrictions even on specially discounted books (e.g. professor-only copies of textbooks or something).

Maybe for the college students and young people, but what about married people? It's not like people suddenly stop doing what they love after doing someone they love.

Sex is only one thing which can bring you to an euphoric state. There are also drugs, and exercising control over your surroundings, etc.
And all of this needs software. And most of what they have sucks. I mean really sucks.

That's because Enterprise Software is actually an arbiter of controlling people through controlling workflow. It's solidified corporate politics!

Entrenched interests within a company don't want to optimize the company's bottom line. They want to optimize to further their own interests.

I once posted about a transatlantic E3 line that was going unused in my former company. The original project that was to use it disappeared. Afterwards, the VPs of different groups fought over it, ensuring no one would get it. The company paid $300k a year to keep that thing open for a long time.

The way to fix this is through highly granular free market economics. Let a company set standards and empower multiple groups to compete to those standards.

I agree about some of the reasoning in the article not being really clear (I think it is more writing than substance, though). I think the key to smart phone growth is that the feature phones are still the majority and will get eaten by the new thing. I can't help thinking we are in the 70's with the calculator vs PCs.
I wonder how hackable these will be. I'm sure people could find plenty of uses for a simple WiFi-connected button.

"Maybe I can go without wiping my ass this time?"
In the UK certain academic disciplines have a long record of post docs disappearing off for a few years and then coming back, often driving a nicer car. Being publicly funded universities probably helps, but all it takes is establishing a relationship with the university in question. There's enough DOD grant money out there that if they wanted to they could probably change academic hiring practices to support that process. So could private industries for that matter.
On top of that you usually can cut out quite a bit on child care costs.

I left a job I had for 5 years that allowed me to telecommute for contracting where I was expected to be in the office but made about 160% of what my full time salary was. After about a year of that I returned to my previous job and much lower salary to get the benefit of telecommuting once again.

With a family, the benefits of telecommuting (at least to me) are just far to valuable.
> So what do you compose? A functional block with ins and outs? What's the equivalent of a subroutine? That's where graphical systems usually fall down.

Most visual programming languages have nodes with ins and outs that contain other nodes, just like you’re suggesting. And yes, I’d consider them the equivalent of subroutines.

Programmers seem to talk about visual programming languages as if they’ve failed, but outside of software engineering they appear to me to be more popular than text-based languages. Some examples are VFX, compositing, audio/MIDI, prototyping, and automation.

My own working hypothesis is that plain-text based version control is why most software engineering uses text files. The big differentiator between software engineering and other fields is there’s very little collaboration with visual programming language projects, they’re almost always made by one person.
Uhh, I don't know. All the groovy knobs on Jenkins (especially the cloudbees enterprise one) and nexus enabled a ridiculous amount of customisation which while it made me a load of consultancy money, I think taught me the lesson that most of the time it's better to adapt your apps to your CI and infra, than to try and adapt your CI and infra to your apps.

I much prefer GitLab + k8s to the nightmare of groovy I provided over the last decade anyway..
A weird fact about the universe: in a competitive environment, the difference between winners and losers is mostly luck.
The first study cited was work equated, meaning the shorter break group did additional sets. This seems to contradict your hypothesis.
I think disregarding what a clear majority of workers desire is quite callous, particularly since remote working tools are simply not an adequate replacement for in-person interactions.

There is a bigger world outside "the valley". It's not surprising overpaid software engineers living in major cities, accustomed to forking over $4,000+ a month for tiny studio apartments are enjoying their experiences outside those circumstances.

Perhaps those same folks that refuse to return to the office can find happy employment at a local business in their newfound town instead.
Isn't that the 1995 paper? The original study was 1990.

He was my teacher, and he taught this in class :)

If you were using version control, couldn't you push just the diffs?
RGB values can be added to create other colors, just like painters mix colors (just divide the sum by 2 to avoid saturation), because the R, G and B colors were arbitrarily selected from the beginning to match what the artists were familiar with.

In the case of combining beams, what changes is the intensity of the beam, the frequency spectrum does not change at all (there is two photon excitation, but that's a completely different phenomenon).
As the world tunes in to watch the $21B SLS launch today. For the benefit of humanity it is unfortunate that the SLS did not blow up on the launchpad with no injuries of course. If it blew up we then would have hope to direct all future funding to private programs that are 10x more cost efficient. Imagine what SpaceX could have produced for $21b (SpaceX total funding is under 10B). Imagine how much faster humanity can get to space if the funding was spent effectively…

SLS: payload 154k pounds, not reusable, 3B per rocket

SpaceX Starship: payload 220k pounds, 100% reusable, 10m estimate per reuse

Even if you take the argument that Starship has not flown and the prices are not there yet- 3 falcon heavy rockets can lift the same payload today at a fraction of the cost.
