I'm don't think that's an accurate interpretation. Congress can't just add a line to every statute to exempt it from judicial review. Even if they tried, the courts would just ignore it as they have done before.
So this is an advanced course in operating systems, NOT a course in advanced operating systems. Most of this is state of the art circa 1985-1995. Still potentially worth learning, but the class title can be severely misleading. I was expecting cutting edge thought on modern OS design.

That's a classic paper to read for an operating systems class. Generally in an advanced OS class you read papers and discuss them critically. The value is in the discussion.

Here is an example syllabus from Stanford's CS240: https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs240/old/sp2014/. You can see that this paper is listed, along with a paper that states the opposite opinion ("Why Events are a Bad Idea").
You're being deliberately obnoxious in your phrasing. Cut it out.

Regarding your content:

You are making (or missing) a point I made above, and moving goal posts.

If you are writing a library that defines a new type and would like to provide an instance of some classes, there is no problem, those are not orphans.

If you are writing a library that defines a new class and would like to provide an instance for some types, there is no problem, those are not orphans.

If you are writing an application, the approach I suggested for the context of working on an application is entirely appropriate - you write orphan instances, and have a static check that they are coherent.

There is a bit more trouble if I am a library wanting to provide an instance of a class that I do not define, for a type that I do not define. Allowing orphan instances in this case, with or without a static check for coherence, assumes consumers of my library "have control over all code ever written" - it will either be dangerous (without a check) or forbidden (with a check) that they use my library with (potentially seemingly unrelated) libraries. The correct workaround is usually to provide a newtype, for which you can define non-orphan instances. This is not bad, but it certainly is a bit of a tradeoff.

But again, you moved the goal posts. I made no general claim about the suitability of Haskell's expectation of coherence. I objected to your false claim that maintaining coherence involves picking over spurious warnings about orphan instances. It does not.

This is true. I'm an Indian , now living in Australia. I love meat! The only time I don't crave it is when I'm in India where the vegetarian food is incredibly tasty/satisfying doesn't consist of largely salads. I eat salads, not because I enjoy them but because I know its good for me.

Basically, the interview is all about getting to know a person. You discuss your experiences, your interests, your values. You get to know the people interviewing you, they get an image of you. The company tells you about what they do, then asks you to tell something about yourself. Then you move on to discuss the position, their needs and their objectives and eventually you both develop an idea if there is a good match (for the both sides). Through this not only do they learn about your professional level, but they also form an image of your soft skills and your presentation abilities.

Essentially, it's very important for them to find a nice colleague that will naturally integrate in the collective. Someone who can do the work, but also talk, communicate well and overall be a well-rounded person. The technical side of things is an additional criteria, but not the basis for a decision. You often get to hear the idea that "learning on the job" is the way they do things. Nobody has an idea to dismiss you because you don't remember some obscure sorting algorithm from 20 years ago.

At least I have not run in a single case when the interview was being run by people or the Western European origin and I got to be grilled on technical matters. The story was all different when among the Western Europeans there were the Eastern ones present at the table who were mainly asking questions. In that case all that you get asked is the minutiae of the specific technologies they use, and often the interview time is completely wasted as you don't get the chance to learn about the company, so you return home with as little information about them as you had before going to the interview.

After a while you get a clear picture of where everyone fits in the food chain. Western Europeans run a business, see the big picture and care about practical things. Eastern Europeans are grunt workers that are [happily] stuck in their technical silos.

Not meaning to offend anyone originating from Easter European countries and who do not fall under this description, but it's been my consistent experience and my individual observation that I've made while interviewing for positions in Western Europe (mostly in Germany) and also from interacting with my colleagues (of varying origins). There was always a clear separation of concerns to be felt.
The biggest problem with spreadsheet-oriented programming is that we haven't yet found the way to abstract table sections into reusable 'functions', which currently leads to tons of copy/paste.

There was a proposal to add user-defined table-based functions to Excel, by a group of authors including none other than Simon Peyton Jones, a major contributor to Haskell and GHC. Here's that paper: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/Papers...

Curiously, the paper is titled 'Improving the world's most popular functional language: user-defined functions in Excel'.

(And by the way, you can already name and refer to any range of cells in Excel, not just a row or a column. There's also a GUI dialog that lets you manage the names, e.g. rename, delete etc.)
Agreed - I'm a heavy Excel user and I use tables for 90% of data. Tables enforce unique column names, what is missing is the same for unique row names or ids plus an easier way to relate rows, without having to use index match everywhere, which soon becomes a real pain in the arse.

A separate me product - power pivot does something like this - ms needs to add this as native functionality to Excel, since normal pivot tables are so unflexible, I never use them anymore.

The problem with the "lawful order or request" split is that, even if they make it very clear, there's the implicit threat of escalation if you don't agree.

Today you refuse a request. Maybe tomorrow they convince a judge to let them very publicly come to your offices to take the data.

I suspect that fear drives many people and companies to cooperate, even if they understand that there's a choice.
There's a big gap between potential and making it work risht now. How much would that cost?
I don't think the GUI has anything to do with it.

> If computers had to be interacted with in ways that resembled programming - like a UNIX prompt

Maybe programming should start resembling GUIs more, instead of the GUI resembling programming more?

The only reason I got into programming was by messing around with HyperCard as a kid. HyperCard had an excellent learning curve. You could just use the pre-built stacks (stuff like an address book). Then you could start editing the controls (adding a field to the address book), then start using the prefab button generator or copying pre-coded buttons from sample stacks (say, to add a button to go to your own card in the address book). Then start hacking away at the scripts in the buttons (scripts that resembled english better than any language I've seen since). And this thing came with every Mac.

Today, you have to decide "I want to learn to program", look up resources, maybe do a tutorial. The only thing we have today that's close to "tricking" people into programming without them deciding to start programming is Excel spreadsheets. That's probably the #1 programming environment today.

Some weeks ago Elon Musk said that he thinks that Apple is a bigger competitor than Google but that Apple is coming (too) late to the show.

Elon also said the car market is huge, very huge. So Tesla and Apple are just small compared to others.

If you talk about car competition you should take a look at the big players. Volvo for example is already running tests with complete autonomous cars (100 people driving them). And almost all other brands have self driving cars and electric cars.

So I don't think Apple as a competitor has anything to do with it. Apple is just too small in this industry (for now).

And as for Apple becoming a power company: it's still unclear what Apple is going to do with it in the future. For now they are just selling the excess power they create with the solar panels on the campus and other places.

>> you can't have one candidate go through one evaluation process and another go through something completely different

Yes, you can. Because people are all different and need to be approached differently.

>> I think the biggest issue is that companies like FB and Google and other tech giants use these interview techniques

Didn't Google recently admit that those "interview techniques" are worthless and have no correlation with the candidates' abilities to perform well in the field?

>> So, until we have solid proof of a better process that scales

You don't need to scale. You don't have to interview half of the town. Just find some people you can work with and stop there.

>> I think those types of interviews are going to be a consistent part of the tech job industry

As I mentioned earlier, those types of interviews aren't practiced in the Western Europe and hiring there works just fine without them.

An unsustainable business will fail no matter the name. I am not sure why Solar loses so much. Physical stuff (atoms) businesses are different character than software (bits) as Negrpronte would say. Elon is much smarter than me and knows these issues.
A nuclear plant costs ~$9 billion (before cost overruns) per generating unit, and ~10 years to build. Whether that's less or more than solar isn't the point; there isn't time, and no one will finance one.

Utility scale solar is ~$1/kw, and can be operational in a fraction of the time. Importantly, costs continue to decline.

At first, I was tempted to see this as a disappointing comment, promoting the idea of "If you didn't understand this early, you're not going to, no matter how hard you try, so stop trying," but I think what you could really be saying (correct me if I'm off) is that just because you want to do something, doesn't mean you know how to do it. So, trying to change things for the better takes some serious preparatory work that takes some time to do, learning alternate perspectives that will help you understand better what's really going on, and what tendencies people have that can be used, if people are willing, to help them realize what I've just described. However, if you don't have time for that, just acknowledge it, but also understand that you're not going to have a positive impact on that goal, because you haven't gotten out of your common sense perspective and natural urges, which are only going to make the problem worse if you try to make that impact, because you're not going to understand what you're doing. The comment Alan made at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11940497 is indicative of this concern. However, in defense of this thread, I think everything that Alan has been talking about in here is an attempt to guide people toward learning how to learn so that for those who find the opportunity, they can give that advice a try, and see if this really is for them or not.

Not including the fish one since it doesn't really affect daily life IMO, or the oil price one since that is just what happens when you run out of something and not a consequence of GW, IMO.

Seems like only daily life effect of GW (assuming you migrated to somewhere else over the course of 50 years) will be higher food prices. Though I'm also curious if over time innovation will make that change rather insignificant.

Hi, these are a great question and a right conclusion. But become the good communicator is only a small thing that you have to change about themselves.

Here are just several points from my experience.
1) You have to get as much responsibility, as you can.
2) You have to became confident and tough.
3) And Yes, you have to became a better communicator.

Finally all these are about working on yourself. I can recommend you this book, which really helped me: https://www.amazon.com/Unlimited-Power-Science-Personal-Achi...

Using funding to find the problem is inefficient; side projects are a much more distributed and efficient method and they don't need funding.

As for hardware, you're repeating what's clear. What I'm saying is that you used to have to purchase the future but now you can mimic those coming changes and, while slower, offer perfectly acceptable performance.

Maintaining old plants may be economical but even that is fraught with risk (e.g. the RSG debacle at San Onofre) but looking at the few new nuclear projects under way makes it seem highly unlikely that they'll ever be worthwhile.

The Vogtle upgrade has been underway for 6 years and is already 3 years behind schedule, it will have taken over a decade by the time it sells it's first watt to the grid. The total investment over that time will be something like $20 billion.

I can't imagine a scenario in which tying up $20B in capital for a decade to produce 2.2GW of power makes any financial sense at all. With the EPA cost estimate of $1,000/KW for a natural gas plant, you could literally build 20GW of natural gas capacity and probably save 5 years in construction time.

Wind is ~2x more expensive per installed MW, so build 10GW of wind capacity, even with their shitty 30% capacity factors you come out ahead of the Vogtle project.

Hopefully the modular reactors come with much better economics but large scale nuclear is dead for a reason.

Exactly, and the bag of chips is at least 1,000 calories. Up to 2,500 calories if we're talking about those generic ripple chips. The lettuce is 50-100 calories. If you're getting most of your daily calories from the likes of lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, zucchini, broccoli, etc., you can eat steadily all day and still have a hard time hitting 2,000 due to the sheer bulk. But it's gonna cost.
