Yes, the almost complete surrender to the terms of the holdouts and vulture funds, Paul Singer included, will sink the country into a debt I don't see how it can ever be paid. All within 90 days, quite a feat!

Alleged contractors corruption cases are a serious deal which should be investigated, no-one is denying that, but I don't think corruption alone is all that matters in a country. I'm more worried about disastrous policies. A perfectly honest politician can lead a country to ruin, and many of us don't think Macri is clean in any case.

It's very much worthwhile. Apart from being a Lisp, which says a lot on its own, Clojure has a bunch of other "brain-expanding" features. Its approaches to immutability, concurrency, and higher-order function munging (reducers and transducers), in particular, are very enlightening even if you end up writing something else for living.
The thing is: the "FDA red tape" is justified but expensive, and the market is so small that it takes a long time to recover the initial outlays. One thing that could be done is subsidies for FDA-related expenses for orphan drugs.

I saw it. I could not really tell if it was good - as it was now with the dark text.

I can't help to think that this was done by someone that does not read that much.

Younger people seems to prefer videos instead of READMEs, and I have not really understood why until I saw somewhere that speedreading skills apparently have been falling drastically among young people. I mean why look at a video for 30 minutes to see if a tool or framework is worth trying, when you can scan the equivalent text in 30 seconds.
I don't see the misogyny, and if I would have heard that at the bar I would have clearly understood what his analogy was meaning.

I wouldn't have even noticed it. I'd never have used the terms he used, but I don't have any real issue with the way it was framed.

I find it odd that would be the thing to pick out within the statements, but perhaps I'm not as sensitive to the language as I should be?

Edit: I can't seem to reply to a level deep, so I will put some remarks here.

Re: over - In my view it was just an analogy, and had no deep insight into the views of marriage. Just my impressions

Re: th0ma5 - Boys doesn't have any negative connotation, but I understand the point you're making. I don't have much to add except that I didn't read it as anything other than an analogy.

Re: zepto - I keep saying bar because that's often where you'll hear this sort of language, but it isn't limited there. I respect your views that it isn't appropriate, and again, I would never use that language to explain it.

But I don't take offense to it. Again, perhaps I should. I may not be as enlightened as I should be.

This reads like somebody just wanting to complain.

YC says that their startups need to move to SF/SV? Yeah, they do. They do it because they see real, concrete value for a startup being there. YC has actual experience with startups, so they have a reasonable basis for knowing what they're talking about. This isn't "Silicon Valley Arrogance", it's some people who are actually involved seeing that there are concrete benefits to being in SF/SV.

YC is talking about basic income because they think SV's going to have all the money and everyone else is going to be left behind? YC's talking about basic income because they see people being left behind, and they actually care enough to want to do something about it. That's not arrogance; it's observation plus compassion.

I read this and do not consider it to be about "the importance of software testing"... it reads more like a demonstration of the hubris that one can fix a fundamentally flawed system by trying to dream up test cases and then fixing them one by one as if they were in isolation of each other. One can imagine someone writing something like this about a sorting algorithm, slowly discovering corner cases of large numbers, negative numbers, 2s compliment wraparound situations, custom comparators that violate invariants, values that are being mutated while sorting... the more of these issues you find the more you should question that you really have defined the problem correctly, not patting yourself on the back for having good testing.

There are plenty of truths that aren't ours to share. I'm not allowed to post to Twitter my employer's revenue numbers, even though I could easily calculate them. It'd be truthful, but they'd be well within their rights to fire me.

Yes, logically, we'd have to provide [either subsidies, or training, etc.] for people who don't have skills necessary to enter the job market. However at the higher min wage, we get better workers as well as a bigger economy (they make more, spending more and thus contribute more to tax receipts). A worker at 15/hr has more economic stability than a 7 or 8/hr worker, as well you're now getting high school graduates with some junior college ed. A more educated workforce should offer the potential of more value add vs a less educated worker.
Look for something which is an unexpected interaction of recently-developed or recently-reduced-in-price technologies.

My go-to example would be the intersection of brushless motors and cheap IMUs from phones making the drone revolution possible.
Actually, in Europe we do have similar problems. A massive tertiary sector while the manufacturing jobs are getting sent to "best-cost" countries (you cannot say "low cost" because that would be offensive). Of course, we lose know-how this way and the quality of the products is not even close to back when it was made here.
I must say I'm not sure if "society having you covered" is quite the issue here. Yes, being a Finn, I can attest on having most of your bullet-point list, as relating to the case at hand, covered. But it doesn't necessarily solve the knee-jerk reaction some people are having for these sorts of innovations.

It always strikes me a bit odd when someone from SV comments on societal questions. People from different backgrounds and different walks of life don't obviously share the same worldview, of course those people well off have a harder time relating to those lower on the economic spectrum. But somehow it feels almost like there's a physical discontinuum between the "tech" people, and other people, who don't breathe and live their work, who are just happy to keep whatever job that keeps food on the table. I believe a big part of this is that most folks, contrary to tech, don't have to actively learn on the job. That's why the common answer to start re-educating yourself isn't really a viable alternative for most average people in their 30s-40s.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's very much unfortunate that societal issues get in the way of progress that in the long run will make everyone better off. I'm just saying that the things you have listed aren't necessarily the only factor in solving this problem. It's like considering people and their lives only as a function of income and expenses, when there are really a host of other factors also at play here.

gcc nested functions do have access to their parent's variables. Obviously only until the parent exits --- they're not closures.

I would love for this to be in the standard, particularly if they come up with a nested function literal syntax. Having them would make things like mutation callbacks and foreach() so much cleaner.
The public interface of a library isn't where type hints will shine, and I'm not sure why someone would think they would.

Type hints are going to be awesome for nailing down the behavior of the core parts of your business application. I think of it more like writing good tests than anything else.

Like everything else in development; 80% of the problem is choosing the right tool for the job.
> Thus it's fair to assume it could also be exploited remotely

When the data in question only resides on the physical device that is not a fair assumption at all.

An alternate OS that allows all 10,000 4-digit codes to be rapidly tried isn't a piece of magic that allows you to do anything you want. It has a very limited use.
One fundamental result is that ordinary people don't have any problems dealing with graph interfaces. Many Computer Scientists and Mathematicians I talked to predicted the opposite. This opens the door to experimenting with many different discourse models.

Yes, in this concrete case I was thinking about the debt incurred in order to pay the holdouts and the "vulture funds", like Paul Singer's. I think it will be a short term respite that will ultimately lead the country to ruin.

Let's not forget kirchnerismo (the party ousted by Macri) arose from the ashes of De la Rua's government, which was fiscally conservative and "orthodox", and who few would accuse of being populist. His reign ended in the 2001 chaos, with economic upheaval, a collapse of the banking system, a few deaths and the goddamn president flying away in a helicopter! Kirchnerismo didn't even exist back then.
Probably. It was pavement after all back then, but it would hurt more the longer I kept standing there.

GCC 5 already does that for you (and more), since malloc/free are C standard library functions:

#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
free(NULL);
char *foo = malloc(42);
free(foo);
}

gcc -O1 compiles it to:

00000000004004f6 <main>:

With a minimum wage you have a fairer wages playing field. No longer are you competing against the wage exploiter when it comes to labor costs.

As to why you get a better employee at 15 vs 7/hr, think about an engineer.

At 70k a laid off engineer will sit it out. A so so engineer will take that job instead. Now, raise that 70k to 120k (or whatever rate) and you'll be able to entice the better engineer, while the so so engineer gets left out, perhaps going back to learn more marketable skills.

Alaska's 34-year basic income experiment
I agree with your comment entirely. I guess the difference we're dancing around is that I am so often hearing people be wrong tactically, and right tactically, and all over in between that I don't think negatively about someone being wrong.

Being wrong is a constant in complex situations, and what matters is correcting and moving on.

If we take just the last year, I've been wrong a breathtaking amount of time, as has everyone else I've ever discussed with. It happens, and you're constantly trying to move yourself closer to truth.

Not an economist, but I suspect that if you could convince the mainstream to only buy very high quality, durable goods that this would naturally drive them to buy locally (at least in the long-industrialized first world).

However it would also naturally drive them to buy fewer things less frequently, which is anathema to capitalism in general. And indeed it would tend to slow innovation since a faster cycle gives new businesses more opportunity to replace an incumbent!

Note that this argument applies to software as well, although the "cost" to us is cognitive rather than economic.
Most proactive electric grids have load shedding plans. The question is how often do they need to put them in action.
The standard doesn't even guarantee that pointer arithmetic works at all, outside the bounds of an object (or at least did in C89, which is the only standard I know well).

If you have an object which is ten bytes long, like:

uint8_t o[10];

...then it's legal to construct pointers to o[0] through o[10] --- not o[9]; you can create a pointer to the byte immediately after the object --- and nowhere else. Like, it's not even legal to calculate one, let alone dereference it.

I used this to make a prototype compiler from C to Javascript/Perl/Lua, where each C pointer was represented as a tuple of (array, offset). Pointer arithmetic worked inside objects; pointer arithmetic between objects wasn't supported. Worked nicely.
Thank you both. I didn't realize how Erlang flawored this really is. This did the trick:

I see a huge difference between the deep learning approach and the CYC approach. I don't see enough common ground to call them both "common sense" approaches. And, in fact, in the conversation up to this point, the CYC approach is what we were calling the "common sense" approach. So I don't see deep learning as validation of the common sense approach, at least not as the terms have been used in this conversation.
