Hang on; Imposter Syndrome would mean that you would come across as a fallible, non-expert, since you believe yourself to really be an imposter. Do you really mean something like the Dunning-Kruger effect, which is sort of the opposite of Imposter Syndrome, people with little knowledge believing themselves to be infallible experts?

> Its legendary $120-150Bn in cash

For all the dramatic prose in this article about Apple's finances, they managed to miss by a fair bit on how much cash Apple has.

It's closer to $215 billion. $16.6b in cash or equiv, $21.3b in short-term, $177b in long-term marketable securities (most of which can be converted to cash relatively quickly, so when calculating Apple's cash pile that is commonly included).

If you remove their $53b in long-term debt (which has a very low interest cost on it) you get $162b. The article didn't specify that it was subtracting debt of course.
In my experience, if you try to do without unit tests, your integration tests will grow to fill in the gap. This will slow you down in a two-fold way:

1. As your integration tests will both more numerous and complex to cover corner case scenarios, the time it takes to execute the suite will grow too. And since the integration test is more opaque too, this price has to be paid by both you and all the developers that touch something that might have used your module.

2. The time at which you receive the feedback of the test is already too late. You are no longer doing experimental changes, you are trying to push this unit of work into the code base and be done with it. Either you will be tempted to gloss over any divergence you find (quality price) or you will have to execute some relevant subset of your integration testsuite during your coding/OODA loop (execution speed price).

FBI only needs Apple signing keys. And as lavabit showed - they can compel Apple to produce them.

Apple are a big company - they cannot be trusted by default. And banks right now make their money in two ways - gambling with the money of the rich and using all kind of creative late fees to prey on the poor. Neither of those requires uber secure pocket ATM.
I've been saying this for years. Historically, yes, OOP has its own roots. But for all effects and purposes, C++ with headers controlling visibility is the grandfather of OOP. If you got that, then you've got OOP basics. (And, as the author points out, 90% of what you'll ever need)

There's another way of "going beyond OOP" that bears some thought, and that's growing a program by incrementally adding functions, then grouping the functions into modules.

This is actually the same point as the author is making, but looking at it from the other way. It occurs to me that if we started with writing code using pure functions, over time those functions would naturally accumulate into cohesive modules. A methodology that taught this could well end up being the TDD of the next generation of coders.
I'm sceptical about this. The reason is that all banks in the US are subject to rather stringent know-your-customer regulation. They have to obtain documentation on their clients, which by law can be shared with the authorities. As far as I know, this makes it rather simple to trace the flow of money, at least domestically.

If Apple were to become a bank, I don't see how they would get around those regulations. In fact, I'm pretty sure that once Apple were to become a major financial institution, the authorities would certainly ask for access to data on financial flows -- and given the state of legal affairs, might have a much stronger case.

(Remark: I'm sceptical about Apple wanting to become a bank being the reason for the Apple vs. FBI conflict. I think it is nonetheless plausible for Apple to become a bank.)
Setting aside the cringe I experience whenever supposed principles of "OOP" are mentioned by the author, that page painfully reminds me of the that old joke about bolting four extra legs onto a dog... Furthermore, both a broader comparison (for more complex data and processing) and the technique I mentioned seems to be absent. However, I suppose it shows how to reclaim at least some benefits of better data arrangement even if the language isn't a good fit.

4 effective personalization strategies you are missing
I've seen a lot of Linux tablets, and so far they've always been a touchscreen added to an early 2000's desktop-style interface: small touch targets, gestures don't work in obvious places etc.

That said, it's been a while so I could be out of date: is the Linux desktop UI and apps used by the Ubuntu tablet touch focused?

Edit: Linux as in the common usage of 'Linux kernel, glibc, X', not Android. Which you knew.

Search for "esp8266" in the Learn sections of Adafruit's and Sparkfun's sites. There's also esp8266.com. I think the most amazing thing I've seen is a VNC client running on an ESP8266 with a LCD touchscreen.

The "raw" parts are super-cheap but when getting started I think it's much easier to get started on a still pretty cheap breakout board. I have a Sparkfun ESP8266 Thing I haven't started playing with yet but if getting one today I'd get the Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ("Feather" is their new line of micro controller boards that share a form factor, "HUZZAH" is what they call all their ESP8266 products).
For Youtube standards, the comments are pretty normal. You see these kinds of comments on every video about tragic situations (and, to be honest, in any other video). It's easily one of the worst communities, probably even worse than image boards.
It's an interesting line of thought but I feel like there is no indication Apple execs really think this way. It still seems to me like they think they're a consumer electronics company. Tim Cook and Jony Ive slavering over entering the financial industry, I just don't see it.

When you're analyzing something, "follow the money" is always good advice. But I think it's much simpler here, following the money just means that at this point, Apple is the iPhone company, and they're going to do everything they can to guard that business. That's why they went so berserk with lawsuits regarding Android.
As a consumer, I find it completely uninteresting unless it can run Android apps. If Play Store is an impossibility, support alternative apps stores such as F-Droid or 9apps.
Is your 'close to the metal' claim based on any concrete experience with Swift? I like Swift as a language but I found its String/unicode support way too slow for the text processing stuff I do on the server side. I also tried using arrays instead, but in my text parsing micro benchmarks Swift is always four times slower than Go, Java, C++ and even two times slower than JavaScript/V8.

I don't really see a reason why this should be the case, so I hope it will improve over time.

But using mandatory reference counting does limit the sort of tasks for which Swift will ultimately be suitable. I wouldn't put it in the same category as C++ and Rust for that reason.
yes it's just like an android tablet, only better
You're describing subtyping which, like modularity, does not require inheritance or really any other part of "OOP".

I think that supports the article's point that C++, Java, etc. only support certain language features in an ad-hoc way tied to their object systems, making them, among other things, poor teaching languages.

I agree of course that a decentralized system is technically superior to a centralized one. It must be, because as you pointed out, strong consensus in the network about a particular node makes it indistinguishable from a 'central' node in a centralized system.

However, when it comes to package management I think we should look at the community first, technology second. The first concern is to set up a central node that everyone can safely mirror and is pretty much guaranteed to be there. Otherwise, what's the point? If I can't trust a package repository to store a package for a decade or so, why even use one?

What's lovely about CPAN and friends is that they are reliable. They're always there. Of course I can just host a node myself for the next 10 years, but that doesn't make everythingstays a good alternative to npm. If all we're doing is decentralizing packages with the assumption that people will host their own stuff, this could be implemented with BitTorrent plus a text file containing magnet links.
Even though such a question would be more useful, I'm glad they didn't go that route as it would be dishonest: Too often we see the "why should I learn this?" questions that are really transparent "Why I haven't and won't bother -- my mind is firmly made up -- and here's how I pretend that I'm just being open minded in critiquing it" posts.

Many of us are happy in our niche, and learning new things is often a PITA. We're happy with what we do and how we do it, with the tools and things that we're used to. And that's okay. The truth is that the language evolution is something that we can mostly just ignore, and if eventually something is truly dominant for a use case, we can easily adopt it with no real handicap over people who ground with it from the ugly beginnings (and many of those advantages will percolate to other platforms anyways. node.js is just layers and layers of compromises and problems, but it had a profound impact on other platforms, and truly changed the web serving game).

And that's okay. But traditionally if someone posts resources for a particular language, it is bad form to engage in language wars, gloating, holier than thou (which the whole scarequote "maybe it isn't `trendy'" sorts of posts really are), etc, in the discussions. They're boring, we've had them literally thousands of times, and they are a distraction from discussing the actual contents of the post.

I've noticed this particularly afflicts Go discussions. Python, Rust, D, Swift...all can be discussed rationally and productively. But if Go appears, it seems to be just threatening enough that it draws out people concerned about things they don't know.
Right. Because Android is built on a desktop interface...

Show HN: Pandora-like Job Finder
I created Jobpig as a Pandora-like (thumb up/down) to filter jobs based on preferences, increasingly personalized over usage. It works more like Pandora than other learning boards; where jobs match users via hard-coded features (a la Music Genome Project) rather than collaborative filtering. These features include: location, commitment (eg full-time), company, source (eg stackoverflow), skills (eg python), and remote.

Eg I personally seek React, Python, Postgres, Remote, Part-time, Contract. That's combo's a tough ask on most boards; but Jobpig finds the closest match to my criteria, and it's working quite well for me. It scrapes these boards[1] (discuss[2]), and employers can post custom jobs. It's open source[3]. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I think it comes down to what kind of product you're building and what kind of libraries you're using. If you're doing some web-facing product that's being continually developed, and there's a security update in a library or framework, then sure.

If you're building a traditional piece of software (no "evergreen" continual updates, maybe even with no upgrade process at all eg. device firmware) then just using a library internally, and your requirements aren't changing, then continually updating it is busywork at best, and a risk to the reliability and stability of your project at worst.

It's not "technical debt" to skip point releases that don't add anything to your project, since you avoid potentially re-integrating changes to the same features if they change multiple times, and there's a good chance you'll never need to update at all.
The linked page states it's using Ubuntu 15.04 as OS, however 15.04 is marked as EOL-ed on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

This is not a Linux tablet in that hacked-up sense. It's Ubuntu Phone. I've been using this for a year now on my Aquaris E5 and while it's not quite as smooth as IOS and Android quite yet, and that's only because my hardware is a little slow, it's definitely a full touch-oriented design from the ground up. I actually like the design better than the grid-of-icons approach. It's more sophisticated. And I'm not a zealot: I am highly critical of the buggy browser and the lack of apps, especially whatsapp.

But OS design-wise, this is absolutely not some kind of desktop UI squeezed into tablet form with a cranky layer of touch glued on top.

Folk seem to be easily declaring this person an obvious racist, but all the quotes I've seen to support this so far are either:

- The author writing they support willing slavery (which doesn't really seem to be slavery).

- A quote (that circulated Twitter as evidence of racism) saying that suitability to slavery was 'parsimoniously' linked to race. Which seems to rely on the audience not knowing what 'parsimonious' means.

The author's an idiot and an edgelord (and also a shitty writer, hence the pain of finding quotes in his crap), but from what I've seen so far he's not worse than other people who've spouted 'kill all X' and been supported by other conference organisers.

That's incorrect. The major US banks today do not primarily make their money from either gambling with the wealth of rich people, or from low income banking. Not even remotely close.

The second largest business for Wells Fargo - America's most valuable bank - for example, is wholesale banking from businesses with at least $20m in sales, where they get about 35%-40% of their profit.

You'll find that an extremely small percentage of profit is derived from 'the poor' in Wells Fargo's business (the same holds true for Citi, BofA and JP Morgan). Their community banking segment, which targets the median and higher, is their prime profit center, contributing about 60% of their profit. You don't earn $23 billion per year in profit on late fees from the poor, very few of whom have accounts with Wells Fargo to begin with.

One very quick look at the largest financial services companies that do target the relatively poor, reveals how little profit there is in that segment compared to what the big banks do. It doesn't scratch the surface for a company the size of Wells Fargo.

I would second your remark. I think this issue is more complex with many more interests in play and Apple can create various advantages from appealing more trustworthy to customers. Nevertheless I'm very opinionated that none of the major causes is being genuinely concerned about privacy (until it is theirs) as some were championing them, especially their CEOs.
Sometimes, the devaluation might be just due to a wider market correction and not specific to the company itself (which in this case appears not to be if its having the problems described). But if that's the case, then it would be an opportunity to invest, wouldn't it be? That is if the fundamentals of the business are on a strong base?

People attending? Maybe they'll forget. But many of the regular speakers or sponsors from FP conferences will not.

On the Scala side I know of at least the Typelevel Summit in Boulder being canceled (http://goo.gl/2HAVca) and along with sponsors like 47 degrees pulling their sponsorship for LambdaConf (http://goo.gl/h9WucI). Note that the Typelevel members are community leaders that have contributed to many projects, including Scalaz, Cats, Algebra, Shapeless, Simulacrum, Machinist, Ensime, Spire, etc. And on the Clojure side you've got people like David Nolen of ClojureScript and Om fame saying that LambdaConf is now on the list of conferences he'll never attend.

People follow leaders and if you think this won't have repercussions for LambdaConf, think again.

> In the post, he comes across as tolerant, albeit with a narrative outside the political mainstream.

Related to this article, I'm not interested in arguing the fine nuances of his argument or the English language, but when you don't consider other people as being your equal, that's racist by definition. A fact made clear by Moldbug's writing. And the fact that there are people that jump in defense of his narrative highlights the importance of speaking and acting against such beliefs.
Why learning to code won't save your job
For those who don't get the joke, the term "fishing" in the paper's title refers to "fishing for significance", a very common practice in academia. Basically, you take a large data set and repeatedly ask different questions of the data. If you ask enough different questions, without correcting for multiple tests, it's possible, purely by chance, to find a P-value (probability of rejecting the null hypothesis incorrectly) that appears significant.

One imagines the authors tried each zodiacal sign until they found one that passed the test. One imagines- but cannot say for sure- that a zodiacal sign is not a feature which is truly correlated with the outcome they observed.

That's not really the case. There were representatives for 90% of the hashing power, but pools are composed of many individuals who each own their own rigs, and companies like BitFury are also composed of many people. There was 1 or 2 representatives from each organization out of the many that actually participate in the mining process.

It's not great, but if you look at Ethereum you'll see the same distribution (2 pools have 50%, 4 pools have 75%) and Ethereum does not have anywhere near the same throughout load, which is where most of the centralization pressure comes from. Further, Ethereum is supposedly much more vulnerable to selfish mining attacks, which means a pool that decides to start doing selfish mining should be able to overtake the others in terms of profitability very quickly.
