Is there a problem with, say, printing the key on the device case, as is done with administrator passwords for consumer routers? Or, if you're worried about casual skimming, inside the case? Under a tamper seal if it makes you feel better? You're basically at the Chromebook security model by that point, which seems well-regarded around here.

It's pointless anyway trying to "secure" hardware against a sufficiently determined attacker with physical access. There's an argument to be made that physical access should equal software ownership, philosophically.

It's also worth noting that requiring all updates to be signed by the manufacturer does not protect you from malicious code, as manufacturer updates can also be malicious. Ultimately, the "owner" of the device should be at the top of the pyramid of trust.
You kill 4 birds not 2. Your clients/employer will appreciate a single codebase that costs much less, both to develop and maintain.

There are drawbacks though. For instance, Android is very limited when handling images taken from a camera activity which was called by a browser, in fact this is a documented still unsolved bug. But Google itself is promoting the concept of 'progressive web apps' so one would safely assume that the end goal is to allow web apps to be as feature rich (and as performant) as native apps.

Well, why not? Of course your design isn't going to cut it because of tons of engineering trade-offs involved, but I think one should be able to make a "complex enough" design that makes sense.

Oh come on. :).

I get your point about perspective, but I still think we're specializing a bit too much. Given that the boundaries of our occupations are pretty arbitrary, and the reality doesn't care about them, we're losing out on knowledge at the boundaries. T-shaped skills, or whatever is the buzzword du jour for it these days, seems like a good idea.

That, and I think Heinlein is arguing for people to have a little thicker horizontal bar in their "T". :).

While it's true that "the implementation of [all but 3 of] these types will use the existing reference type API", this means (AIUI) that there will now be a swifty shim between swift and Foundation rather than the types being bridged directly. I would expect that would make the job of replacing Foundation with something appropriately modern easier in several dimensions.
> Surely it can reach say 100 or 200 middlewares in pipeline. All of them compiled, loaded at init stage.

The flexibility of the new model means that you can opt into that if you want, or not. In other words, if you can get by with 1 or 2 modules, then that's all you need to load. This is IMHO nicer then the current model.
But we are a society based on competition and winners and losers (loser in the sense you lost this particular competition) from birth on. Ignoring that is putting yourself at a disadvantage.

I think it is important to have competition early and often in life because learning how to win and lose is an important life lesson. Getting lazy because of a win or quitting because of a loss will severely impact someone for their entire life.
As a developer working on a site with thousands of concurrent connections that recently went to production with RC1 and is implementing back-end applications as well, I've been looking forward to RC2. All this talk that .NET Core will never work for X or Y reasons is amusing - it works right now on large sites/projects, and has been a refreshing change for our team(s) with a minimal amount of headaches.

I would suggest trying it before knocking it at a theoretical level, especially the MVC Core stuff that combines 4.X's MVC and Web API and enhances it.
This was the best thing from my time at uni. We wrote a compiler, and I made one that, when it met some types of code, would insert highly optimised C. We had a small competition at the end of the year with lots of small stupid benchmarks.

It was self-hosting, and I made it insert the funky code on compile. I also made it do precomputation on most loops.

The benchmarks at the end of the year had very un-even time distribution, and everybody knew that we had done something funny (especially since our recursive slow fibonacci was the fastest by a factor of 8).

We knew we would get caught, but it was funny anyway. Someone else won because their compiler was actually good, but we got a new special "underhanded sneakyness" prize
> Your entire point is based on bulletin board discussions and anecdotal evidence from being peripherally involved with rocketry in the 90s (which given context, I'm taking to mean "I hung out in space forums and bulletin boards and talked with people who claimed to be rocket engineers.")

Oh for fuck's sake. I don't like arguments from authority, but if you really want one: yes, I hung out on internet space forums in the 90s and am thus aware of their contents. But I also was a member of the Space Access Society and regular attendee of its conferences; an organiser for the National Space Society and regular attendee of its conferences; and an organiser and founding member of the Mars Society and regular attendee of its conferences. In this context, I was personally well-acquainted with folks like Gary Hudson, Robert Zubrin, and Buzz Aldrin, as well as innumerable lesser-known individuals from NASA, Boeing/Lockmart, and the various alt.space renegades. The stories I tell come directly from my contacts with them.

Furthermore, the "evidence" I provided was citations of the NASP[1], the X-33[2], and the SLI[3]. The first two represented NASA's flagship attempts to develop new space-launch systems during 80s and 90s; they failed due to weight growth and integration problems stemming from over-optimisation of the (LH2) propulsion system at the expense of all the rest of the vehicle's systems. By the time of the SLI in 2000, RP1 was starting to find a (small) place at the table again, but the program still failed due to too narrow a focus on propulsion optimisations. I figured that anybody familiar with the space industry (as the person I was replying to seemed to be) should be familiar with these failures and their underlying causes; they are not exactly secrets.

If I recall from (maybe?) the linuxCNC forums, it's also pretty crucial to ensure your motherboard has a suitable chipset if you want to do soft-steppers.

I think the reason is that some boards have various non-maskable system interrupts that will play hell with your timing if you get the wrong board.

Here in the UK (where tipping is a different beast entirely to the US) every taxi I've ever taken has been paid for in cash. I think this is still the norm because every fixed-fare I've had has been priced a few ££ below a round-figure in expectation of "keep the change".

That said, if I was paying by card via an app (and I've never used Uber) I would absolutely expect not to tip or have to talk money with the driver at all. It just seems rather unprofessional.

AMD chips have almost always had a lead over Nvidia from a per-flops perspective, and AMD's architecture is definitely ahead of Nvidia as far as supporting integer operations and bitwise ops efficiently(see their dominance of cryptocurrency mining). However, Nvidia's software tooling has always been superb, and they basically own the GPGPU-for-HPC space because of it. On top of that, one of the biggest growth areas of consumers of GPGPU in recent years has been "deep learning", for which Nvidia has embraced and has great tooling and software for their hardware. AMD has potential to compete with Nvidia in this area, but they don't seem to have the resources to develop optimized Neural Network software to run on their GPUs like Nvidia does, so they are way behind. Basically, GFLOPS per Watt is nice and all, but if nothing you care about runs on the hardware, you won't buy it. AMD seems to have been stuck in this position for HPC, and it doesn't seem to be changing sadly.

Militaries and intelligence agencies do much more than just make kill lists. And I sincerely doubt such lists are created without human supervision. But being mostly a pacifist I've never wanted to work with those projects, so I don't know the details.

I'm not sure if Web API is "that" bad. I usually use odata lately though ( for rest queries in the url).

But my API looks like my database objects and some have DTO's on top of them, together with automapper ( or manual conversion for performance reasons).

It's seperated in a different .Net project, so i have no issues with the difference of Web Controllers vs API Controllers.

I due plan to checkout Service Stack though, just because i see a lot of positive opinions here. But i'm not sure if it's enough to change.

Note: Watched the presentation... I like the versioning in ServiceStack. Had trouble with it on Web API :)

I did not realize that we were this close to Swift 3?!

This is really awesome news. I'm pretty excited to see what they do in 3.0, I'd love to have another language under my belt without fooling around with NS-nonsense. That they might actually take Linux desktop seriously is really exciting to me also.

I'd love to see a widely-used tool where games and popular apps that would traditionally be put out on Win/Mac are able to be used seamlessly on Linux also. On top of that, I definitely don't want to write Java, I definitely don't want to write ObjC, etc.

Interestingly enough, I think this might even compete with Dart, which I suspect will end up getting Wasm support and ultimately replacing Java for android development... (Just a wild shot in the dark...) So I can't wait to see what the Swift starts brewing up in the Concurrency department.

How exciting!
IMHO ++ is trivially readable, but that's only because I happen to be familiar with C/C++'s pre/post increment idiom. An idiom which is well known for causing confusion and bugs, especially - as you say - for devs new to the language. For me the compelling argument for removing them is that they're a Cism and don't fit with the semantics of any of the other operators. Chris Lattner strongly agrees with you and explains his reasons here https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposa...
Nice reading.
Actually, I think Apple is already more or less compliant with this part of GPLv3, as they allow developers to self-sign the software, right? You just have to pay for a self-signing key. That's sufficient, because it means you can run modified software. All they have to do is lift the restriction to pay for the self-signing key.
You shouldn't have a problem if you have a normal employer with a technical culture. Everywhere I've worked has had flexible working hours(within reason), so getting in between 9-10 shouldn't be a problem, and the culture in the US is such that getting a couple cups of coffee while you read email and the company IRC/Slack isn't really a problem in a decent working environment. If it takes you longer than 30-45 minutes to be productive though, or you have a long commute, maybe you should get more sleep :p
Intel Pentium not supported in Debian stretch???

That's really bad. There are people still using that, especially in academic environment.
I upvoted your comment not because I agree with it, but because yours is an important voice to be participating in the discussion, and I'm glad you're here. And actually, I do agree with everything you say about how NGO money distorts the economy. But Basic Income is different, and I urge you to try to understand those differences.

Traditional NGO/charity consists of giving money/stuff/services to the poor. The problem with this is that if you are a poor person who depends on that money/stuff/services, and you manage to find a job to get yourself out of poverty, then the money/stuff/services you've been depending on will no longer be available to you.

This is a problem, because those NGOs are much more stable then your marginal getting-out-of-poverty job. So the person in poverty is faced with a choice: do you trade the certainty of the NGO hand-outs for the hard work and the increased uncertainty that comes with a paying job? The rational decision, in this case, is to stay poor and continue to rely on hand-outs. This is how people get into the "business of being poor". They're not being stupid. They're making a rational choice based on the fact that they've been given a reason not to work.

But Basic Income is different, as I say -- because it is unconditional. It should never be withdrawn. If you are poor, you get the basic income. If you get a job, you still get the basic income. So there is no downside whatsoever to getting a job. This is a profound difference from traditional NGO hand-outs.

In every place where an unconditional Basic Income has been experimented with, it has resulted in an (often quite significant) net increase in economic productivity. That is very different from traditional NGO hand-outs. So please don't think that they're the same thing. I'd urge you to research the subject more deeply.

> Perhaps the parents you're referring to are failing to realize just how strongly gendered their lives are.

Yes, that's a large part of it. I think people also underestimate how much children pick up from society in general. Beyond what they get from their parents, they're still going to be meeting friends and family members, going outside and seeing other humans interact, other people are probably going to be buying them gifts (even if you try to avoid this, there will be times when people spring them on you), etc. There are a lot of influences we've stopped noticing because they're so pervasive.
When I am presented with a tool, a ship date, and a release candidate -- I set my timing and expectations accordingly.

When those expectations are not met, you're correct -- I don't use it. I also provide what the Redmond boys call "feedback." Having worked there it's easy for me to spot the knucklehead behaviors they tend to fall into. Inability to name or ship a product plus goofy tech decisions (like shoving everything they can't quite figure out into this "middleware" hole) usually means developer pain ahead.

Comparing Swift to C++ for parsing
As you describe the goals and features of your system, I think the AWS solution is too complicated, even over-kill, for what you are trying to achive. I use AWS extensively for the 'big projects', I also use it as a CDN for all projects, but for the small projects (in terms of complexity and capacity), I find it much simpler to implement a two-tier service. For example, for comments (form submission in general), it is much simpler to write a node app, host it on a free-tier and persist the data also on a free-tier (for example Heroku+Firebase). Parse.com was great b/c you could do it all in one tier since the offered server side logic.

Granted, if you ever pass the free tier limits, normally the price breaks of these PAAS providers are high so cost does not scale 'by the cent' like AWS; however, if you pass the free tier you must be making good traffic which should translate to good income so infra cost shouldn't be a problem.
> Also don't forget the patent stuff in GPLv3. That's not quite as scary as the anti-TiVoization stuff, but it's still pretty significant for large companies.

The Apache license has a nearly identical clause (in fact, I believe GPLv3 was inspired from the Apache license) and companies like Google and Apple have used the Apache license without destroying their business. Anti-retaliation clauses don't seem to be a death knell.
