No, taken to its logical extreme, that means we'll never have anything better than Win32.

Basically, if you want to make an OS that's immediately useful, it has to run software that's available right now. That means either Windows (Win32 or .NET) or POSIX or maybe whatever Mac uses. That's it.

Now of course, you can try to build an OS that has backwards compatibility for one standard and adds a new one. MacOSX did that to an extent to ease the transition from their older version. Windows does that too, supporting multiple APIs (even POSIX at one point).

However, even here, these standards still require an OS to work a certain way underneath, which all current OSes do to a good extent. If you want to do something really, really different, it might not be so easy to build an emulation or compatibility layer. That's just the price of progress; if you want to do a clean-sheet design, you're going to sacrifice compatibility with everything that came before. If you build in backwards compatibility, that's going to limit how different you can be.
Even storing - and making accessible - a fraction of it would be a drastic improvement over the current status quo.
Makes sense to me. It just struck me as funny, as I've always just heard it as "with an army," and the implications of adding "and a navy" were amusing.
How a CTO Spends His Time: Minute-by-minute Data for a Year

Small talk is not pretend friendship nor insincerity. It's a ritual that attempts to get people to be friendly to each other. Being friendly is not the same as being a person's friend.

The purpose of being friendly in a business context is to smooth interactions between people who do not otherwise know each other. It's much more difficult to be nasty to someone if they've been nice to you. Also many of us here find transactions are more pleasant when people are friendly. You don't dread going back to a place if people are friendly.

Plus when you have a service job, a brief and pleasant conversation with a stranger can help you deal with the drudgery of the job. It's an awfully long day spending 8 hours cashiering when you act like a robot all day.

In any case, some Americans and many Europeans seem to misunderstand (despite their insistence to the contrary) the function of small talk here and incorrectly interpret it as insincerity.
> Shipping people in from economically segregated exurbs is not a solution to a segregation problem.

That is not the idea. The idea is to let people live where they want to live, without the weight of the commute hanging over them. And even if someone chooses to live far away, they should still be able to maintain a decent quality of life.

There is no denying that dwellings closer to the city centers are in higher demand, and hence cost more. I posit that it is primarily due to a mediocre transportation system. If the Bay Area had a world-class high-speed system, the demand would be reduced, lowering the prices and benefiting everyone.
Having skimmed the article I want to ask: How about the first principles method ? How does this [ADEPT] compare to it [fp] ?
This looks great. I have my own workflows on my PC set-up for bulk resizing, but I love that there's a web-app to easily do this, and that it runs client-side (nice for Chromebooks/etc. too)

To me the site looks fine, not ugly by any means. It's spartan/simple and utilitarian, as it probably should be. Will definitely be trying this out the next time I need a bulk-resize.

Is there any particular method you plan to use to turn a profit from this? Premium plans/etc.?
PCPP is basically “Referral Links: The Website” so I think they probably make some decent money from vendors. I doubt the ad revenue is much since the target audience probably uses ad blockers.
I think history might refute your claims.

A) Teaching methods haven't changed that much in centuries, millennia, arguably, and they are quite similar across civilizations and cultures, and they do effectively well.

B) People are more 'free' today than they have ever been in history in terms of ideas, ideals, choices, opportunities.

80 years ago you would have been expected to serve in the Army, 50 years ago - at least the draft. Most teens nowadays wouldn't even contemplate doing something remotely 'selfless' unless it was padding their resume.

So I can't help but to balk at your claim that people are 'obedient' now.

Have a look at a 'soup kitchen' line up from 1929: even the unemployed and homeless all wore suits, proper overcoats and hats. They dressed with more established decorum than Mark Zuckerberg Billionaire. I'm not saying it's right/wrong, better/worse - but I don't think it's possible to say that people today are more conformist.
Great work! I am not sure you should make this public though, especially the date and place. All the best.
So, say I'm about 15% into Thinking Fast and Slow, and struggling a little with the pace/density, should I keep going with it?

I'm generally interested in the topic but just got side tracked from the book and haven't picked it up in a couple months.

That's a decent measure of how complex a grammar is. It also highly hints that the language in question is at least context-free: you probably wouldn't use the word "nonterminal" to describe a regular language. (Unless you were specifying a language that happened to be regular as a context-free grammar, I suppose.)
Yes. And what bothers me about this study is that it seems to rely on our implicit understanding of this circumstance. Rather than using a set of data where they can explicitly compare fraudulent and legitimate results.

Surely there would have been a better set of test data than one for which politicians are still actively serving.

Unfortunately the science is somewhat tainted by the politics here since it is very unlikely they'll get independent confirmation of fraud for the test set.
Borrowing is purely compile time, but ownership has a runtime component, essentially a 1 bit reference count, called the drop flag. This is needed because objects may be conditionally initialized or uninitialized, depending on runtime values.

Careful what you wish for. Not being able to keep trade secrets is why many toxic trade agreements and patents happened, which ultimately keep the big players big and the small players small.

And does it really help you to know that there's a deal between Google and Apple? It was already public knowledge that Google payed a lot of money to Mozilla for making the default in Firefox. Did you think Apple did it for free or something?

And how exactly does that influence your choices as a customer? Does that make their search engine worse somehow?

I doubt that it can make a difference for a majority of people. For one because it's not newsworthy, I mean, a majority of people don't care about privacy either, let alone worrying about having their choices influenced. But also because Google's search engine is objectively the best search engine and disbelievers should simply try local searches in Europe for a taste of the huge margin of how Google's search beats its competition. And the same can be said of Google Maps actually. Maybe they've integrated it with Waze or something, but it's really smart about traffic and alternative routes lately, not to mention that it's the only one that can keep up with the one-way streets in my city. Apple might have rolled their own solution, but it really sucks by comparison. And the iPhone owners in my city install Google Maps anyway.
On my first day in a new job I want to get through set up as soon as possible so that I can actually start to get stuck into some deliverables. I don't want to spend 30 minutes faffing with my email client.
"you aren't going to write a key-value database, web server, or the next docker..."

I don't consider any of those things to be "systems programming". Any language with a GC is utterly unsuitable for systems programming. If what you're actually looking for is somewhat performant application programming, then languages like Swift and Go become an option again.
From your link:

I'm still not following your line of thought?
The one photograph shown of the writer, in a suit, on a rooftop bar in Manhattan looking perplexed at life. Shows us his privilege and/or success, neither of which come easy to the majority of his peers within what he calls a self entitled generation.

The writer, as some one who allegedly is '... Interested in other people'; has an extremely elitist attitude with a matching level of arrogance. He's an old soul, eh? He looks and sounds like a straight down the line dickhead from my perspective.

Though I'd gladly see less selfie sticks and Kardashians from my generation. The consumers of those products are hardly just us. Have you seen what media our teens now consume? Our parents are more than capable of zoning out at the next Stupid Shore. Is that the responsibility of social media? Our parents? The schooling system?

Articles on generational discussion are deliberately polarising. In the same light as left vs right, secularism vs. religion, socialism vs. capitalism.

No discussion. Just perversion and conflict.

Typically I resort to HN as a forum of modern scientific knowledge and young chaps and old chaps trying to make cool stuff happen in the world. It's really not about venture capitalizing or even making tons of user conversions for me, I have no tech products that I sell and I have a huge skillset. I'm interested in the furthering of human knowledge and HN is pretty close to what slashdot used to be for that.

One goal was to destroy the barbed wire barriers so the infantry soldiers could reach the opposite trenches without getting stuck in the wires.
Interestingly one of the best arguments apposed to free will is people being terrible random number generators. Which tends to be hand waved away.

Which suggests people have already decided which side they believe in and only try and rationalize it after the fact. ;)
so you're limiting the scope of potential solutions to theorems and then trying to eventually supplant a brute force method with biologically informed cognitive methods? neural networks?

sort of spamming number theory at theorems? by discovering a corpus' bias?
I live in Manhattan with its very high housing costs.

As Harvard Economist Edward Glaeser, Economics Nobelist Paul Krugmann, Financial Times columnist and an economist Tim Harford have been saying, the issues are politically induced housing scarcity through the use of zoning density restrictions and also overuse of historic landmark status. The use of politics to create artificial scarcity to create market inefficiencies is called "rent-seeking" in Microeconomics.

Another example was the NYC limit of 13,000 Taxi medallions which lead to a market value for medallions of $1.2 million. Then Uber/Lyft came along to disrupt the market and provide more transportation in NYC and the value of the medallions dropped to less than $700 K.

I believe that Congress is looking into the zoning form of "rent-seeking" with the understanding that zoning is not necessarily local but might be federal to override this inherent unfairness where older people housing expensive and scare for younger people.

Creating these politically induced market inefficiencies are what create an inherent transfer of wealth from the poor to the wealthy and from the young to the old and of course is a major contributor to financial inequality.

>But I don't see how this essay supports any notion that AAVE is simpler than standard English, and coldtea doesn't supply any alternative source to support the claim.

Do you really need sources to tell you that a subgroup's language is poorer than a mainstream language with a many times its history, speakers, artifacts and literary works?

>Or is it a way to impose a value judgment on the dialect and the people who created it and speak it today?

No, it's a value judgement on the people who enslaved them and deprived them of opportunities for education and participation in the mainstream culture and language for centuries.

And who continue to oppress them through faux-progressive, but essentially condescending, praise for their make-shift language they were forced to come up with.
im in the last section and honestly, looking back at it, i would've been satisfied with just reading the first 2 sections, maybe even the 3rd one. It gets more dense and narrower as you go through it I think.

I read it as: major libraries are reluctanly tolerated to break their API/ABI now and then. They are different beasts, whether you like it or not.

A colorary to the above is: libraries that break their API/AIB too early or too ofter never get a chance to earn the 'major' label in the first place.

You could also argue that a major library that abuses their privilege and breaks backwards compatibility beyond their "karma ballance" will be eventually forked or otherwise replaced by a more stable competitor. I am not sure if this idea holds water in the real world, but I really hope it does.
What Is the Distance Between Two Random Points in a Square?
No, a statistical modeling assumption is not the same as a software bug. There is no perfect model, and nonparametric tests are approximations at best. The important thing is that the publication reports the modeling assumption so that readers can judge the conclusions relative to that choice. Now we know to judge results using the Gaussian model to have a high false positive rate.

On the other hand, no researcher would knowingly publish results affected by software bugs, e.g. null pointers or arithmetic errors... hopefully.

I don't think it quite met even that low standard.
I'm baffled that this sort of discourse is considered acceptable. Not in an "I-feel-appalled" sort of way, but in a very literal, "why doesn't society treat this like racism or sexism" sort of way.

If someone wanted to argue that intergenerational differences are significant, they'd have to contend with the fact that the ratio of intragenerational:intergenerational variance is far smaller than intrasex:intersex or intraracial:interracial variance, and commit themselves to also being a racist or a sexist.

It's routinely taught in org-psych and related fields, for example, that different generations have X characteristic that makes them better or worse suited to a particular role. Imagine the uproar that would ensue if we taught that "women are better at teaching professions while men are better at science", or "you should prefer asian employees in STEM roles vs black employees".

Maybe someone would then say, "hey, our condemnation of racism isn't based upon some ANOVA or arbitrary significance test- we aren't racist because Every Human has intrinsic worth." In which case, we can stop promulgating this antiscientific ingroup/outgroup hysteria and just focus on the Every Human part.
The explanation I heard about that is that recognizing that we made a choice happens after we actually make the choice.
I am in guarded agreement with the article. The most distinctive thing I can come up with about science is the habit of rigorously asking "what do you know and how do you know it" -- but that is (a) not all that distinct from what rational non-scientists do, and (b) not a particular method.

And yet -- I get queasy when I hear philosphers talking about (for example) Aristotle's "science". The idea being seeminlgy that anything he said about plants or falling bodies or other such subject matter is science.

Now Aristotle was an observant, rational fellow -- and yet his results in these fields don't feel all that scientific to me. I don't know what I missing.
I was an artilleryman is the U.S. Army. We get the machine gun fired over us in a trench during basic training (like everyone else), but that sounds like so much more profound of an experience. I kind of wish we did that here.

That said, I was enlisted (NCO), not a commissioned officer. For all I know, they may do something like that for (to?) the officers at Fort Sill.
The drop flag is only generated for types that implement the `Drop` trait. Furthermore, there's work [0] that will shift the drop flag out of the value onto the call stack frame, and then even only in situations where the compiler cannot statically prove that that the type will be dropped or not. This should save a lot of memory, and potentially open up a whole host of optimizations.

There are ways to make it better. For example, when driving through Manhattan, you feel like you're in a canyon. In downtown Chicago, you don't get that same feeling because they have rules that buildings have to be so many feet from the street, and after a certain height must be set in even more. It's a real noticeable difference from cities that don't have such regulations, and it really makes the city feel much more sunny, friendly, and alive. I often felt like a troll walking through Manhattan.
