This person that believes I am has not made any effort to confront me on this issue. Based on the current evidence, he doesn't know that I know what he said.

When economists state that actors are rational, all they are is saying is that people act purposefully. Whether you water your plants, or pray to the magic unicorn in your closet for rain, both actions are purposeful, though both may not have the same result.

You are correct when you say that individuals are "moving far too slowly" with regards to anthropomorphic climate change, but that's rational since it makes virtually no difference if you, as an individual, change your habits and produce less pollution. Nothing you do will change the outcome. This is similar to voting, where most people don't vote because in the US national election, you have a much greater chance of dying on the way to the voting booth, than affecting the outcome of the election. It's irrational for an individual to vote (unless they're doing so to demonstrate to those around them what their values are).

Now, a libertarian might say that economic freedom is not utopic, there are plenty of market failures. However, if one looks at a situation of economic freedom, and decides that the incentives in place are sub-optimal and don't produce favorable results, it's usually suggested that government should step in and regulate somehow. Individuals in government are however, made up of the same rational actors as those in the free market. So while more mainstream economists may end their analysts there, public choice theorists on the other hand demand a more consistent application of economic principles. Namely, they want to know what incentives are in place for individuals in government, and if those incentives will provide better or worse outcomes than a situation of economic freedom. If you're interested, here is a short 10 minute video by Mark Pennington where he introduces this form of analysis i.e. Public Choice Theory.

An unordered list of missing features from me:

- No ability to store the tab size setting. While appending '?ts=2' to the url is ok, it's not convenient and usable on a daily basis. The same for omitting whitespace changes in a diff / pr ('?ws=1').

- No ability to step through history on a single file while in blob view, or blame view. In blame view, the commit link goes to the commit, not the blame of the file at that commit.

- Agree with OP that notifications need to be grouped / summarized better. Perhaps expandable summary items per repo per type. This is mostly useful for private, work-related repos. Pulse and notifications are basically the same thing.

- Stars cannot be tagged. This makes managing hundreds of stars difficult. There's apps like Astral, but even those are lacking.

I remember AOL it was a dial-up network with its own custom GUI that set up a TCP/IP stack at the time that getting on the Internet with WINSOCK programs was difficult because you had to configure a SLIP or PPP profile with other ISPS.

AOL made it easy for anyone to get on the Internet, they mailed out floppy disks for a free month for example. The hard part was canceling the service and getting them to stop billing you once you stopped using their service.

AOL software grew and went on CD-ROMs, at least with floppies you could reformat them and use them for other stuff, the CD-ROMs were drink coasters and made wind mobiles out of them.

AOL software grew when they merged with Time Warner, the AOL software was a web browser and media surfer and email client.

When broadband began to take over there was a $20/month option to add in your AOL account to it and use it over broadband.

If you want AOL 2.0 today you have to have a phone company or cable company bundle their broadband service with the software that is part web browser, chat client, email reader, news reader, media surfer, stock ticker, and other stuff rolled into one app.

Google or Apple if they wanted to do this would have to lay down some fiber optics to provide broadband Internet access and then bundle their AOL 2.0 software with it. It is not a cheap thing to do, the dial-up modem was better because you could plug a modem into any phone line and get Internet, but it was slow. Today you need a high speed phone line and a DSL modem, cable modem, some sort of high speed modem that uses fiber optic, etc. They company has to send someone to install the high speed cable and modem to hook you up, and it is not so easy to do that these days. You have to wait for someone to be available to do that, and hope there is no technical delays.

AOL was killed by broadband Internet and Web 2.0 sites replacing what AOL software did.

Oddly enough you still find the elderly using AOL dial-up for $35/month on really old Windows PCs. They don't want to lose their aol.com address.

Obviously it depends on the game. However if you do not plan to make a straight-forward game or do not have to be fast, I highly recommend the combination SDL2 + OpenGL. It just works.

- you find tons of documentation
- you will run anywhere (that is obviously not trivial)

In particular if you are going 2D you can skip OpenGL if speed is not a problem (yet).

You then just write a small C-kernel which provides the main functionality and explore Haskell's FFI.

Go is only a massive improvement over interpreted languages.

No problem, you will cry for lions in the future, probably.

"Using the calculations of Hayward et al. (2007), biomass density of preferred lion prey in Gonarezhou national park was calculated... the protected area could support enough preys for between 115 and 357 lions.

... the 2014 census found 33 lions in the protected area.

Lions where positive only in the 5% of the points analyzed in the census.

For the Tuli Safari Area the scientific model predict a population of about 40 lions and the 2014 census found...

zero lions

Source: "Surveys of lions Panthera leo in protected areas in Zimbabwe yield disturbing results: what is driving
the population collapse?" Groom et al. 2014.

Models also predict that the park could support a population of Hyaena of 354 animals... 2014 census found between 400-490 hyaena in the national park instead.

This is hardly a surprise because is the same ecological rule for the whole freaking planet earth: Mesocarnivore liberation. Same that leads to the american coyote, and the english fox and the jackals now expanding to the west and reconquering Europe. You are bassically destroying the big fauna in cascade. A really expensive mistake.

> How many people in Zimbabwe can be fed for $25,000, the price of hunting a male lion?

This will depend on how many money and goats they have still after figthing the strange new hyaenas plague. And don't forget the bovine tuberculosis also.

Ok I have one idea, If we wipped the local lion pride we could kill also those 50 new hyaenas!.

I appreciate you publishing this experiment as it will show Java's problems for what they are. However, a real test of Go's safety and efficiency would be a comparison to a similar language such as an optimized Wirth language, a subset of Free Pascal (Delphi-style), typed LISP (eg Racket), Julia, or Ada. People keep forgetting about the last one in safe, efficient, systems programming despite it doing for a long time what Go and Rust hope to do eventually. Its long-time use in embedded systems indicates it can be quite efficient.

Regardless, Go certainly improves on the reliability of applications vs C++ while being much more efficient than .NET or Java.

> C cannot - there is apparently no way that is both reasonably efficient and reasonable foolproof to write C code; if you have large scale examples written by more than one person[0], I would love to see them.

Not easy. Sure. In that regard, I'm trying something in order to help in the case of C, but it is not intended specifically for the problem we're speaking (just strings and other data structures, not a "NodeJS for C"): https://github.com/faragon/libsrt

> I concur C++ should be able to, but I again request large scale examples, because I've never seen any. Have you?

Of course not. There were many years ago when servers were way slower than today. The problem is not solved for current web, obviously. "Solved", in the sense of having some framework for having low level stuff in the backend without doing a byzantine effort. The point is about how to break monopolies in the David vs Goliath sense. If you have the resources, go high level.

> You have to define your terms. Is Lua high or low level? Well written Lua code that does not need millions of small objects seems to run to within x2 as slow as comparable C code when executed through LuaJIT2. I've seen well written Perl beat well written C in the past (the Perl was better written, but both were well written).

Please note that I was speaking about extreme optimization, even avoiding filesystem I/O, and reducing memory copies to the minimum. So it is not about comparing C vs Perl doing disk I/O, but in pure calculous. High level languages, even using JIT, have an important data structure size overhead and also allocation issues (when handling 10^5-10^6 requests per second on a single thread), so even with properly optimized code you can have poor performance in comparison to low level languages with optimized data structures (e.g. libraries using low level data structures using indexes instead pointers, multiplexing buffers, allowing memory aliasing for allowing conversions in the same buffer, etc.).

> With a language that so easily lets you shoot yourself in the foot like C or C++, this is not the case in practice, see, e.g., every C program ever written. Can you give the examples you're thinking of so we can discuss them?

Write backends in C/C++ is nonsense, unless you want to handle 10-100x requests using same hardware. If your service allows to cover the expense, go high level. Of course :-)

So true. I had to read the entirety of the JSP spec (and a few others) when I was an intern to help the company do some static analysis things. I also read a good chunk of Tomcat. Sun had this grand vision of App servers which you could just push code to and it would run completely isolated. The app servers where supposed to be spec compliant meaning your app could run on any implementation. But, and this is what bit the company I was working for, all of the implementations add lots of non-standard bits and broke standard bits. This meant that if you had written your app to go on WebSphere there was essentially no way it was going to run on TomCat without modification.

If Sun had more tightly controlled the marketplace for these things I think the whole ecosystem would have been more robust.

Consider taking L-theanine with your caffeine. When taken with caffeine, it smooths out the jitters and produces a subtle sense of clarity and focus; it will probably improve your ability to think on less caffeine.

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301051107...

(Lots of other articles about the effect cited in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theanine too)

If you are using caffeine for energy, you probably should improve your diet first, instead, and make sure you get enough sleep (which I know can be hard in crunch mode, but it makes your awake time much more productive). I love my coffee as much as the next person, but using caffeine to drive my ability to work has never produced good effects.

Well, I think you have to look at these cases individually. The same thing you write here echos what is written by conservative commentators about poor African American communities in the US. Of course, such commentary conveniently excludes the way poverty and unemployment is structural to the US economy and that there are systematic forms of racism embedded in the US legal code. These empirical realities force communities of color to take part in extra-legal activities and the violence that comes along with those activities. All of a sudden, "normal" society - as you put it - looks like a society of oppressors and "these people" - as you put it - look more like the oppressed than a bunch of ne'er do wells.
You have to be careful about this. At a previous employer I got a bunch of comp time for my new kid, but when I got back I had these sort of sucker tasks for me to do and I felt this odd kind of resentment towards me from some. So I started looking for a different job cause I felt no matter what I did I could never go back to how it had been. I was pretty depressed about it, it was really subtle, and I think some of my coworkers must have felt I went off the deep end there.
Seems like XOR is better for approximating a random oracle, and appending is (negligibly) better for ensuring collision resistance. People often are not clear about which of these two very different properties they actually want out of a hash.

> "It's ridiculous the sense of entitlement parents have."

It's not a sense of entitlement that drives these kinds of changes. It's a recognition that child rearing is an important societal activity, and that in a modern, privileged, civilized society we should not have workplace policies in place that are hostile toward parents. Ageing populations are a real and present threat to many first world countries. In most western countries this is recognized at the governmental level with leave schemes, childcare subsidies etc.

This is also in response to changes in work patterns. In the 50s it was very uncommon for both mother and father to be working. Now the opposite is the case. Shouldn't society then move to restore the balance in a sense by applying what you call "special benefits" to parents?
I think we need to establish a constitutional amendment that explicitly states that non-living entities (companies, corporations, etc) are not legally allowed to express opinions in so far as they donate to PACs or directly to campaigns. Also, that the congress or the states may limit the rights that non-living entities have beyond what an individual who works for or owns a non-living entity has.

"Corporate Personhood" is such a horrible idea that it just doesn't make any sense at all.

EDIT: for clarification, the 14th amendment refers to Person(s)/People, not corporations specifically... which is where my statement was coming from. It may not be a popular subject, but the fact is that corporation rights exceed that of people at this point.

Four years is quite a bit of time getting things over with. Everybody likes to talk about the memories of going to college and how much I should expect to enjoy it. I don't expect that, I expect to be absolutely miserable for four years. A more fanatical past version of me would almost rather die.

And on a certain level I think there's definitely a spite involved here. I know that going will permanently invalidate me from attributing my success to anything else, and it will help empower these institutions to keep intruding into lives and charging people outrageous fees through what is essentially a collectively enforced racket. Going will be existentially painful, so I'm avoiding it for as long as possible.

The graph looks similar to Windows on the desktop numbers. To claim hypervisor agnostic without VMware support is like claiming your desktop app is OS agnostic but doesn't support Windows.

Aural warnings are so easy to ignore. There are a ton of stories that go like, "What is that annoying buzzing sound? Well, no time to worry about it now, I'm landing. <CRUNCH> Oh, it was the gear warning." Happened to a friend of mine, even.

I think it ultimately comes down to engaging with the primary sense you're already using. If you're doing something visual, then a visual warning (on whatever you're looking at) can be effective, while an aural warning won't. If you're listening to something then interrupting it with an audio warning will work great. Hand flying is a tactile experience, so that's the sense you want to work with.
A really good book to read on the subject is AnnaLee Saxenian's Regional Advantage: Culture and Competition in Silicon Valley and Route 128 (http://www.amazon.com/Regional-Advantage-Culture-Competition...). It discusses why Route 128 failed while Silicon Valley flourished. A major part is that under California law, non-competes are not enforceable in California. As people moved freely between competing companies, their ideas, information, and best practices traveled with them. The diffusion of good ideas gave the region as a whole a competitive edge.
