> This manual describes the C interface of Racket’s run-time system. The C interface is relevant primarily when interacting with foreign libraries as described in The Racket Foreign Interface; even though interactions with foreign code are constructed in pure Racket using the ffi/unsafe module, many details of representations, memory management, and concurrency are described here. This manual also describes embedding the Racket run-time system in larger programs and extending Racket directly with C-implemented libraries.
Yep.

As I and others are saying in various ways, it's a remarkable achievement in many ways. However, as even Roger Ebert said at the time, "“Barry Lyndon” isn’t a great success, and it’s not a great entertainment, but it’s a great example of directorial vision: Kubrick saying he’s going to make this material function as an illustration of the way he sees the world." (Ebert still gave the movie a strong recommendation and generally upped his opinion over time.)

I personally enjoy Barry Lyndon overall--and this may well get me to watch it again--but I've been less inclined to re-view it than I have many other Kubrick films. (Honestly, I'm not really in a big hurry to rewatch 2001 either; it was also an impressive achievement when it came out but it shares the coldness and the very deliberate pacing of Barry Lyndon.)

I don't think it's at all irrational to say, meh, didn't enjoy it and don't want to see it again.
That's the problem though, you simply cannot trust other clients. If you need end-to-end encryption then you need secure clients as well, otherwise an attacker could:

1) just hack the PC and read the logs straight from the file system / messages from RAM

2) impersonate a trusted user (since clients don't send fingerprints beyond the basic ident information)

3) and there's no guarantee that even if the client is connected to the server via SSL (eg set +z on the channel) or end-to-end encryption is builtin, that the "client" still isn't anything more than an IRC bounce (eg ZNC) that users primarily connect to via clear text.

So while I'm all in favour of encrypting IRC comms, the other links in the chain are so weak that pragmatically end-to-end encryption wouldn't offer you any significant privacy guarantees. So as much as I do love IRC, I honestly don't think it makes practical sense trying to leverage it as a secure platform for confidential conversations. There's better mediums for that; just as IRC excels in other areas where many other communication platforms fall short (eg openness, protocol simplicity, automation via IRC bots, etc).
In my first job ~25 years ago I got told off for coming in 5 minutes late even though I had gone on to a customer site at 9pm the previous evening and worked to ~1am to fix the problem.

Left there after 9 months and have never worked anywhere like that since.

If you look carefully, everything for the whole video is replicated 9 times. These simulations typically use periodic boundary conditions: if something goes out the left side, it is put in at the right side, and so forth. This significantly decreases boundary effects that would arise from putting interfaces into the simulation. Only one of the 9 cells is really being simulated, but they replicate it once in each direction for visualization so you can see what is happening through the boundary conditions.

ES2016 feature: Array.prototype.includes
Its lenient, for now. But I view it as a workaround to the no-mental-cost of an all you can eat. With a fixed-monthly model you do not ever need to think about asking for your money back. Let alone asking for it, even if its a click.

A fixed monthly cost is in the interest of everyone: by removing the "barrier to entry" of an article it removes any friction for someone to explore new content and new sources. New publishers win, new authors win and all users win.

China can't integrate those farmers, there are no jobs for them. And that's before China has to lay off tens of millions of industrial workers they no longer need, and that's before robotics completely decimates low-value manufacturing.

Those subsistence farmers are kept that way because there's nothing else for them to do and there never will be. China can't allow the productivity of their farming to rise - it's among the lowest on earth - because of the social chaos that would occur. Unless you can find another three to four billion global consumers equal to your typical US or European consumer, such that China can then employ 450 million more people in jobs.

> During a single reproduction, there are tons of genetic and epigenetic variables that could be selected for, which determine different things. Why would a specific feature in a specific part of the body, that provides merely a minor improvement at any given time, come to completely replace all other genotype expressions?

As far as I understand it, sexual reproduction with its gene shuffling allows all features to evolve simultaneously. So the genes for the anorectal angle are constantly selected across the whole population in parallel with every other gene.

Sometimes, the social aspects of your job outweigh other factors. Throw in the simplicity of jobs like waiting tables, and I've found that it can be a lot of enjoyment.

After 25 years of this, I now see the logic in communism (though it is idealistic). So no more working for suits and getting nothing while they extract the profit from the surplus labor I produce. Capitalism is all about exploiting or being exploited, and I haven't the temperament for it, given that I've taken too many red pills by now.

So ... it's going to be contribute to OSS (because the creative part of still worth something), become a truck driver, and write plays in my spare time... Art is the only thing that means anything in the long run - the fruits of business mean nothing, especially in IT given how the "churn" is less than a decade.
Again you don't run a ponzi scheme on that scale using "basic bookkeeping skills", you need to be a heck of an accountant to make sure that you have enough cash flow to pay out returns and make enough legitimate investments and constantly keep the money moving to make it appear that it's still there.

If you just base you ponzi scheme on I take 50% of every new payment and give out the previous 50% to my previous investments it won't really drag on for longer than couple of months, not to mention that you actually need to generate allot of financial traffic to both draw people in initially and keep the authorities of your back.

The reason ponzi schemes tend to snowball like this is because they run exceptionally well many of them have actually made some decent return on their investments (not anywhere near the actual percentage needed to balance out the "management costs" ofc) a good ponzi scheme is almost indistinguishable from a legitimate investment fund, they'll make tons of trades, constantly move money around and keep large cash flows on hand to make it look like all the money is still there, make regular payouts, and "silence" any panicked investor who wants to cash out early.
I enjoy programming but 'working as a programmer' is infuriating.

There are so many interesting product ideas yet 'me-too' CRUD app recreations of previously successful incumbents products are highly desired. This is particularly true in the startup ecosystems where kids talk about 'interesting' problems and finding 'purpose' and yet are blindly following the mantras and motivational speeches of trite capitalists.

I currently work as a freelancer/contractor in London and I am happy as I make enough money to finance my own intellectual and creative interests for months on end. I hope I'll soon meet other intellectually curious people doing the same thing, and hope we'll be able to join forces to teach ourselves things or perhaps even work on small projects together.

Of course I feel extremely lucky to be in this position which has nothing to do with wanting a slower pace and everything to do with wanting to exert my whole self. And I can't say whether it will be good for me or bad for me; I'm certainly learning a lot about myself and the practicalities of doing this.
What's the reason for Microsoft to be doing it on purpose?
I think you are doing fine! It's refreshing (as the parent says) to see someone who knows tech, but can also explain it to the general population. I think it increases enthusiasm and reduces stereotyping.

One thing that I am missing in mass media, though, is more of the critical/political aspects of hacker culture. E.g., it would be great if the worries of the tech community in the privacy/security balance debate could be represented from the tech community's side. It seems that Glen Greenwald is one of the very few visible journalists to do so.

Of course, such topics are not as 'sexy' as the new iPhone ;).

10/10 - I'm extremely happy after I decided to stop pursuing web development and switch to native mobile. I started doing web development in 1996 (15 yo) and around 2012, I was extremely frustrated. There were too many frameworks, databases, and tools which just made tradeoffs of solving one problem for creating another. It seemed like web products weren't getting better and the brittleness of development was increasing. I started mobile development in 2008 when the first iPhone SDK came out and fully switched over as a career in 2012 and I couldn't be happier.

The future are super dense networks Lifi, 60GHz, then 5Ghz, then 2.4-1.8GHz because that will give the most bandwidth for the buck. You always want higher frequency first because it can carry more and then fall back to lower frequencies if you are out of coverage of the high freq.

Outside developed areas there will be internet by solar drones and lower orbit satellite internet.
One thing to do is to improve peer-2-peer technology , that it will be fit for the task.To do this we'll need a few things :

1. Torrents(as the most proven tech) should be able to handle storage of rare file (i.e. persistence) well[a].

2. A working peer to peer search mechanism - i believe tribler has that. It might need some customization for academic papers - but it's written in python , so it won't be terribly hard.

3. Tribler has mechanisms for anonymity and against censorship. One more thing that should be added is a secure pdf reader - maybe pdf.js via chrome is the most secure we have today.

4. Maybe there would be a need for some spam protection.

Thanks for taking the time! An all you can eat Spotify like model removes all friction and allows me, as someone who loves to explore new content, to not have to worry at all about refunds or such stuff.

I am sure you are operating under constraints with the publishers but I do strongly encourage you to push for a fixed monthly model: by removing all "barriers to entry" of viewing an article, users can freely explore new content from new authors and publishers.

Regarding pricing, a song takes many man-hours to produce. Consider the man-hours that go into an article and the fact that a song can be replayed many times. Sure it must be fair but 0.25c per article is not sustainable for me considering the amount of content I consume.

I am subscribed to a number of magazines (Economist, Foreign Affairs, Private Eye and a couple of news papers) which I know I will read. But others (New Statesman, Spectator, FT) I only care to read an article or so a month; with a fixed monthly I can view all the publications using your service, with per-article pricing I would only consider you for the "long-tail" articles/publications. And frankly, I can safely assume that you much prefer that I read all the content on your platform...

With the thirty percent cut they leave a big opportunity for others to step in. While the music industry may have little choice when iTunes made its debut there are far more sources of journalism and many of those have well developed web based outlets.

Xiaomi isn't doing very well these days. Their growth fell off a cliff last year, and is very unlikely to recover to the brief glory days.

Yes, I also find this really concerning.. I use Blendle to look up articles relating to pedophilia, to see how it's portrayed in the media.

> If anything it's more interesting to me that the top two are both based in Washington.

Really? I thought that kinda made sense. Lots of cross-pollination between MS and UW. Most of my graduating class from UW CSE went to either Microsoft or Amazon (well, at least it felt that way), and plenty of graduate students seemed to have done a stint there as well.

I guess by that I mean: If you told me MSR is #1 at something, I'd suspect UW is pretty close behind.

What we found is actually the opposites evolution can and does work on very short time scales exceptionally well favorable genetic traits can propagate throughout the entire population in only a handful of generation (in the best case even under 1 generation).

Also you should really not underestimate epigenetics (which we only now beginning to understand) which play even a more vital role than random mutation as epigenetics can selectively play with gene expressions in every offspring (as well as any thing which has already been born) based on both environmental factors, the "genetic" memory of the parents, and the current experience of the mother as far as mammals go.

It seems that every part of the tree of life, from bacteria to complex life forms (what's more interesting is that mammals/marsupials, fish, birds, etc. each have their own epigentic mechanisms) have it's own internal genetic restructuring mechanism which is really not dependent on random mutations being pitted against natural selection.

>A fixed monthly cost is in the interest of everyone

Subscriptions are only great for users if they get enough value out of them--otherwise they're just another monthly/annual money leak. For example, I go back and forth on the streaming music services. I'll use them to explore some new music or play something I want to hear but don't own--but then I'll be traveling or otherwise occupied and won't use them for 2 or 3 weeks.
Reminds me of a time I was Skyped at 4 AM by a previous client who needed my help. Told him it was 4 AM in my timezone and I was well past when I needed to sleep. Offered an hour at double my usual rate for 10 minutes of work, you bet I was wide awake.
So, same procedure as power plants.
Not only is changing direction extremely difficult, service based growth is far slower compared to manufacturing based export growth when you're coming up from nothing as China did, starting from $300 GDP per capita in 1990. They were able to tap into virgin (to them) export markets in the US and Europe. As you noted, there are no more well-off consumers to provide for their export growth, that party ended in 2009 or so.
Perhaps you're right that he should be gotten rid of, but redirecting criticism of him toward Red Hat is precisely not the way to achieve that. Red Hat won't care if you criticize them as a company. Why should they? However, effective community leadership/stewardship is part of the job description for someone like Poettering. If a person's conduct is poor, criticism should remain focused on them individually. If there's enough such criticism, then the project's own community should act to resolve the situation. It's both less optimal and less likely for an employer or sponsor to take action, but even then it would only be due to criticism of the individual and not themselves. One of the nice things about open source is that it's resistant to such political "get you in trouble with your boss" backstabbing. Address the individual directly and honestly, or forget it.
I think some benefit of the doubt is allowed here - intern dev Alice codes the in private mode. Intern dev Brian creates the restore tabs on crash feature and integrates it hastily to make the (clearly rushed, if you ever used edge for more than 5 minutes) release. QA you say?

If you mean to say that society is a construct, well, yes. You learn that in the 101 course.

That does not lead to a "this is bullshit" conclusion, unfortunately, because we act on the stories we tell ourselves.
I grew up on BASIC as well (TRS-80, Apple II, Atari 800, C64) but I think I'm remembering through rose colored glasses.

A few years ago I tried to write something in "real" BASIC again. GOSUB has no stack and no arguments!? WHAT??? I had forgotten how basic BASIC was.

Go to any high school computer club and all the kids are probably using Unity3D and C# and the stuff they are able to create in a day or 2 blows my mind.

Or watch some kids hack on JavaScript. Access to way more APIs then I ever had back in 8bit BASIC and instant sharing.
Ah, I didn't catch that this limit was applied to the TLD+1.

I'm just the opposite - I was going mad making microservices with C# and have jumped ship to being a full stack webdev guy. I love JS, it feels so freeing and easy after working with such a heavy compiled language (I still like C# though). I really enjoy doing front-end work and I feel that I can utilize my creativity in ways I couldn't working on the backend exclusively.
