I don't follow the point of your first four paragraphs. I specifically said the code was numerically stable on 128 bits - why are you introducing those irrelevant facts, like how C compiler details can make some algorithms unstable?

Really it comes down to what you mean by "another environment" and what your case is for access to the source code.

Let me give a simpler example. I wrote code which expects ILP32. It's stable under ILP32. However, it produces different and non-deterministic answers under LP64. That is "another environment."

Does the numerical instability under a different environment cast doubt on its validity in the original environment? Why is it a strong sign that there may be subtle errors?
So I wonder what the approach will be to allow users to mount USB flash drives?
And that came from Emacs and old Lisp environments---and perhaps something yet earlier?

As late as 2000, this was the single biggest advantage and single biggest impediment to new programmers in MIT's 6.001 lab: a bunch of nonvisible state, mutated by every C-x C-e. The student has tweaked two dozen points trying to fix a small program, and re-evaluated definitions after many of them, but maybe not all. The most straightforward help from a teacher is to get the buffer into a form such that M-x eval-region paves over all that, sets a known environment of top level definitions, and---more than half the time---the student's code now works.

I have similar concerns about much of Victor's work, for the same reason. Managing a mental model of complex state is a n important skill for programming, but it's best learned incrementally over long experience with more complex programs. These very interactive environments front load the need for that skill without giving any obvious structure for helping the student learn.

Contrast Excel and HyperCard, which have no invisible state: you can click and see everything.
I'm curious. What's "im a hacker"-wear look like to you?
The reality of writing a technical book
I believe Visual Studio does this by simply rewinding to the function entry point which addresses most of the concerns you've raised. A debugger is just an aid to reasoning about your code, not a substitute for it.

You might make the same argument against unit tests, or little hacks you write to separate out a problematic piece of code from an even more complicated context.
I see Google Fonts, which I'd consider a tracking tool.
A few examples I can pull off the top of my head - DVD, Disk (HDD), Disk (SSD), Disk (Flash.. maybe?), Tape, Cloud

So Disk (HDD) and Cloud is fine. Two HDDs (spinny platter style) would indeed fail the test. If you want to argue it you could probably get away with different manufacturers or different batches but I'd prefer my backups to play nicely with the rules rather than try to avoid them! Far-fetched as it is but lets say for example you have a power surge that takes out your external disk (is that even possible?). Chances are high whatever did that would also do that to your other disk. Or maybe a wall caves in and decimates your PC (or you just sweep the desk somehow and knock everything off it. Maybe the desk has collapsed) - The spinny disks may be destroyed if they are both hit hard enough. Mixing an HDD and SSD, the SSD would probably be more hardy against shock damage.

From another comment I made in this thread somewhere "I consider "cloud" as its own media type to avoid the pedantics of me storing files on a spinning disk and the cloud provider does too. Chances are they have server grade disks and their own backups [so it's different to just a raw disk]"

Edit: I use too many brackets here. I am going to attend my next available parenthesis anonymous support group.

I actually loved it for the most realistic depictions of drug use I've ever seen on TV or film. Really helped lend it a bit of cyberpunk-ish credibility.

It isn't just effectively "nerd blackface". It is "nerd blackface". Every time one of my well meaning friends asks why I don't like Big Bang Theory I just direct them to a blog post [0] I came across a while ago that does a far better job explaining my feelings than I could. The only thing that differentiates me from the author of that post is that it took far less time watching the show for me to feel incredibly insulted and put down in a way I hadn't been since I was in middle school.

The tl;dr:

> And all this wouldn’t really matter if not for the fact that The Big Bang Theory targets nerds as part of its fan base. We’re used to being ridiculed on TV but it’s usually by shows which aren’t aimed at us. The Big Bang Theory goes to Comic-Con, it sells its merchandise at Forbidden Planet. The fact that it sells merchandise at all says that wants part of a cult nerd following. The Big Bang Theory is the worst kind of bully – the one that pretends to be your friend and then takes the piss out of you behind your back. It will take your viewership, it will take your money and it will laugh in your face as it systematically puts you down.

There's great work on this called differential dataflow. You have to trace at a finer grain than cells, but can then avoid lots of recalculation.
Apple's market share is too low. There's no doubt that the world would be a better place if we stood up against abuse of power on all fronts, but the laws as they stand allow apple to abuse their power with impugnity.
Really, they were both bad for PS3 debugging.
I got confused with the story line, the earlier parts didn't seem to relate to the final paragraph.

s m r t, I am so smart.
It actually works exactly the opposite way, see wolves in Yellowstone or Shark overfishing
I think the point being made is that the converse need not be true: kids who are not good at these sports need not feel discouraged from pursuing mathematics.
I find that's exactly where the debugger is most useful. I know I'm trying to reach or examine a state that my binary can't achieve. That's the problem. The debugger lets me poke around to figure out what exactly is wrong with my state, faster and more immersive than recompiling and rerunning every time. Then I fix the binary to match.

It occurs to me now that's essentially using the debugger as a REPL, but with access to a whole runtime's worth of external state. That's not a bad tool to have in your box.
Thank you so much for all your advices, i will apply them asap :)
My favorite hacking scene is still from Scorpions (well there are two, the one below and the one where they are hacking a jet, with a RJ45 cable, from a car while landing).

"We need to hack NORAD!"

Guy reaches for keyboard (without touching it), "Done!".

Sarcasm apart, while Mr.Robot has good tech, I got bored by the story line around episode 4 or 5. I think it was just too slow for my taste.

Could you make your point more clearly? Google is potentially breaking laws and being investigated for that. If Amazon or Apple are suspected of breaking those laws they should also be investigated.
Yeah that sentence essentially translated as 'build the wall' to me.

As someone who grew up poor (albeit white), I'm going to try to explain a core problem to you - role models.

When I looked at the adults around me growing up, I didn't see educated people. The responsible adult professionals were motorcycle mechanics, truck drivers, stuff like that. The less responsible were day laborers or petty criminals. The only people I encountered who were educated were teachers and doctors, and the wealthy men my father often worked for whom he condescendingly called "edjicated mow-rawns" in his thick Kentucky drawl. What I knew of success was seething class resentment.

I don't think I knew a single adult who was an engineer or technical professional. But I was clever, and read a lot of science fiction. I was originally interested in automotive/motorcycle engineering, having grown up around racing. But I discovered computers in high school, and that was that.

The boundaries we can imagine are limited by our childhood experiences. If you grow up wealthy and privileged, surrounded by doctors and lawyers and executives, you expect adulthood to look like that. If you grow up in a world where the only adults you know are hustlers and criminals, that's what you can imagine.

So why aren't there more black engineers? In part, because there aren't black engineers. And what black engineers there are, are underemployed, because they didn't necessarily go to the elite schools or have the other earmarks of privilege.

Fixing this is going to take more than the myth of rugged individualism.
Quoting something everyone in this community already knows adds nothing to the discussion. Its interesting that the commenter appears to think the downvotes are a result of some other kind of bias.

Aha, thanks - so the free hoodie (and they're really nice hoodies!) happened already. The promo page is still pretty neat, though, and a quick perusal of the javascript indicates there may be some more hidden material in there somewhere.
I'd be curious to see a graph of active users as time goes on. Anecdotally, I've noticed they have been losing a lot of users in the last few days (myself included) who are fed up with how absurdly buggy the game is (especially the bugs that manifest due to server issues), and the incomparable amount of battery that it consumes.
It is also an ethnically diverse English speaking country. A lot of immigrants will know at least a little English and find it easier to find community and assimilate into the UK.

Hm. Art by the wishy-washy definition doesn't have to be framed as art, it just has to be 'intentional'. Its hard to argue that Trolling is not intentional, to provoke emotional response. In fact that hits the nail on the head.

I refuse to call Trolling 'art'. We all know it isn't. Well sometimes a particularly inspired, evil troll comment can be said to 'rise to the level of art'. We all know what that means. Its not art just because somebody says it is ('frames it' as art). Its not art because it generates an emotional response, like the hobo or troll. Its not art because it took skill to do. That whole Wikipedia definition is flawed.

This looks wonderful. I've had to give up on some MOOCs because I lacked the math background to understand proofs. This is exactly what I needed.
The ferishizstion of spoilers is very modern. The very term dates from usenset I believe. However, the first movie that the had a mainstream "don't spoil" movement I can remember was The Crying Game. The meme at the time was "Don't tell the secret!" and "What is the secret of The Crying Game?" (Note the lack of the term "spoil.") The secret is that the girlfriend is trans. (There. I "spoiled" a 25 year old movie you probably had never had any intention of watching, that is really only notable for "the secret" and the socialization around it for a few months in 1992.)

A tip for anyone who can't play the video:

If you're trying to view the video under Windows, you'll get an error that says, "You need to install Flash Player to play this content. Download Flash Player now."

Tip: Install a browser add-on to change the user agent to report "iPad" or another platform for which a Flash Player does not exist. The video will then play. I personally use the Firefox extension called "User Agent Switcher" which works well.

It's so ridiculous that we have to do this. I thought Flash was dead. I'd like to ask the BBC's web developers why they don't just show the non-Flash video if Flash is not installed in the user's browser?
This is a good comment. Operating systems were originally designed to protected people from each other. My process can't interfere with your home directory. My process can't mess up the entire OS (unless I'm admin). There was a time when most programs were not actively hostile to the user running them.

These days just about every application is user-hostile in some way. Even open source Windows applications, depending on where you download them from, might come with a hostile installer. Programs install background tasks. Programs track you.

Mobile operating systems have been a step in the right direction. But a good operating system should allow us to run whatever binaries we find anywhere on the Internet and not be able to do anything harmful to us.

I agree with this. While also holding the opinion that the best coders internalize what is happening anyway. Ideally, you should be able to use one of these tools in a codebase you are familiar with.
Most services, but especially Gmail, promote themselves as something you can safely go all-in on. I recall an advertisement for Gmail where a father left messages to his just-born child, with the idea that when they were an adult they would be able to read them. The archive (vs delete) feature in gmail similarly reinforces that "we'll always have your stuff for you", as does the fact that they want your mail to stay on their servers, rather than fetched with IMAP/POP.

Sure, the TOS says "we can delete it whenever"/"no promises", but the advertising and general pitching of the product have heavily indicated otherwise. I don't see the service going away, and when you have so much identity tied to your email, it's pretty shocking to realize that it could all disappear in a flash.

If Google were to kill my email accounts, I would be _seriously_ disadvantaged.

Saying that only fools trust Google to keep your things forever is true, but also lacks empathy.
Can you be more specific about what you mean by arbitrary code? I agree the code can be arbitrary GLSL, but what are the actual risks? GLSL doesn't have access to the CPU, network, filesystem, peripherals, or anything other than (indirectly) VRAM, as far as I know. If I'm wrong, please help me understand.

My feeling having written a few GLSL shaders is that the language is already sandboxed by design, making it a safer environment to execute 'arbitrary code' than just about any other viable option. In a shader, I get access only to the input I'm given, and can only affect the color of a pixel, and nothing more.

The 'graphics memory theft' exploit (your 2nd link) cannot have been a primary result of a GLSL exploit, as I understand it. That would have required use of an improperly authorized API call like glGetPixels(), and so arbitrary code execution is not the issue there. WebGL's API design and the browser's sandboxing are accountable -- and anyway, it sounds like that got fixed a long time ago?

The first link says the main risk is crashing, so some sort of DOS attack I suppose. That is true of all computing systems, and also isn't exclusive to arbitrary code execution. I'd speculate it's probably easier to get WebGL to crash using the API than shaders. Either way yes, this is a risk, but not particularly specific to WebGL and not the worst kind of security risk in most environments unless combined with something else. (I grant that crashes in hospital equipment, for example, is a high security risk. Then again, most hospitals don't actually let their sensitive equipment browse the web for a reason.)

What other real risks are there, to the average person surfing the web?
I like the direct communication style of this document.
I don't know that ageism in technology necessarily means that older students are less likely to be hired out of university. I would be interested in seeing data to support that.

As an anecdote, I have observed older students that attend the "right" school and achieve high grades are highly sought after by companies.
It's not clear from the content of the blog post that the title of the submission is relevant. The original is probably better since most people will not be familiar with what Mapillary does.
That particular example seems so strange. The first half of the movie seems believable: long debug/compile times, never shut down the mainframe, disgruntled employee ineptly tries corporate espionage. Then we get that atrocity of a file explorer.
Glad to hear you made it out. But seems like your own story gives lie to the theory that role models are necessary. You didn't have any; didn't need them. Just needed opportunity.
And you're missing my point completely too. The nature of the production, to me, is nearly irrelevant to the finished product. You're putting arbitrary parameters on the discussion, which is fine for your own points to be made, but I simply don't share the purist angle that you're going for, which, I must say, kind of rambles and doesn't make a lot of sense, other than "I know the difference and most people don't" which is a fallacy I don't care to engage.

My personal naming rules are "one unemotive word, two syllables max, with clear unambiguous spelling and pronunciation". Maybe go to three syllables if it's really fitting. Generally the name is not meant to reflect the function - the point is to be memorable, not descriptive (and not customer facing). This being said, I'm a small company guy, so I haven't run into the need for amazing amounts of acronyms or product names (I'm not sure how far my rules would stretch...)

My favourite shortening was a netadmin friend of mine who worked at a bank a while back, describing coding schemes for network hardware: "blah blah ethernet concentrator blah address blah city makes XXXECO1" => "What's an 'ethernet concentrator'?" => "Is it a switch? Is it a hub? Is it (*rattles of a couple of other things I can't recall)? Who cares? They do similar things in the grand scheme..." And shorten down to a clear 'EC' to cover them all.

This is strictly true, of course. But it's a very useful CLI, which is exposed within Xcode as well. From a developer perspective, it's a very similar situation- the CLI gives you full access to the capabilities of the debugger, and the GUI gives you more convenient/intuitive access to a subset of that functionality. Even inside Xcode I spend as much or more time in the lldb console window than I do driving it with the GUI.

That REPL is called a command line. Sure, it's not the same, but then it does not run on a virtual machine either (OK, LISP isn't necessarily, either).

You can still hook up a remote debugger to your kernel, I guess, but that's not quite the same then is it.

In high school, I participated in "WYSE - Academic Challenge" (Worlds Youth in Science/Engineering) which was test taking competitions for a variety of topics. You'd take 2 tests out of 7 subjects, and there were individual test prizes, and combined school/team prizes.

I originally participated to hang out with other nerds, but wound up getting a few state competition medals in the computer science test. The multiple topic thing really helped cement my love for computer science/engineering. That was the most valuable part for me. I dont even know where my medals are even at anymore.
