It would be nice to see a future where all applications have some concept of peer-to-peer networking and would be able to talk to each other. My hope is that this leads to blurring the line between having separate architectures for server, desktop and mobile apps, to the point where the only differences are reflected in the physical limitations of the device.

It's interesting to see how modern public cloud businesses seem to have borrowed a lot of their business models from old timesharing systems of the 70s. From there it's easy to analogize timesharing systems being killed off by personal computers to cloud computing being killed off by personal cloud.

Yeah! How was the interview?! Interesting that they are only 5 mins.
Sure, it beats Java, but the VM is worse for running other languages, and that's where .NET loses. F# tries to be nice, but reified generics are more of a limitation than help in that world.

In JVM land, now Java just hands you some specific well tested libraries: You write business code with Scala or Clojure, which I'd pick over C# by about as much as I'd pick C# over Java 7.

That said, I have far more faith in Microsoft improving their tooling than I have about Oracle doing the same: It's just that Oracle has to carry a far smaller weight, because the good JVM languages aren't even theirs.

I've worked with one who became an exceptional backend coder straight out of the code school. This is out of maybe six total and she had some excellent mentorship at the first job. Another had great frontend skills within a few months.
Not sarcastic at all. First, I said README.md. Markdown in readmes was popularized - if not invented by - GitHub. Furthermore, the top billing of README.md files in the GitHub UI took over from more traditional meta-level documentation that used to be in separate places, such as an "About" field/page on SourceForge or a separate web page. I much prefer this documentation in repository. Even if projects had READMEs, they might not include certain information there previously.
That's actually a good counterpoint that I'll have to think on further. We get a feel as engineers for what might work. They could in fact have internalized heuristics for building portable software that factored into their decisions without them consciously deciding to. I don't know if that's what you're saying but it's what I thought when I read it. Very interesting.
Private prisons are compensated based on the number of prisoners they house, not on the recidivism rate. Private prison companies then further lobby for harsher sentences.

This is nonsense. We need diversity of opinions, thoughts and processes...not skin color, sex or wealth.

Sure we want equal opportunity to all. But that doesn't mean equal outcome. The outcome should only be based on merit.
Application-level keepalives can be handy in other regards, eg. you can assert that your application's event loop isn't blocked on an infinite loop, deadlock, or blocking call in user-level code, and you can pass operational statistics back to your (presumably proprietary) monitoring system.

Thanks very much for your suggestions! I think learning about event listeners/propagation is particularly relevant.

>OTOH, we have a theory that classical computation adequately accounts for intelligence. Finding an unavoidable quantum route that nature has picked would certainly be interesting, despite that quantum Turing machines are also classically computable (I think).

I don't think we have a foundation for classical computation without thermodynamics, which is a classical theory whose ultimate foundations probably require quantum information theory.

Due to how IC fabrication works, and the laws of physics, that is not really possible. Larger ICs will definitely cost more simply because less fit on a single wafer --- and defects will be more common, use more power because to use the water analogy there is more 'inertia' to move around the circuits, and also be slower as a result.

You underestimate the will and anger of the American people.
Quite the opposite.

Consider the folks who are signing up for this--people who by definition either don't have the background required to do this industry work or who are returning to retrain.

In either case, they are probably not going to be making top wages starting out, and with the federal aid assistance the prices for bootcamps across the board will go up. So, they'll have a larger amount of debt to pay back if they get a job--at the exact same time the competition for the types of jobs they are trained for increases dramatically.

It's a setup, and I hope a bunch of people don't get burned.
US citizen, grew up in a small town in North Carolina until 10, then moved to South Florida. I lived in a single parent household (with Mom) and the only involvement in my education was making sure I didn't miss the bus. She never even asked about homework (which was good, since I never bothered doing it). For rough socioeconomic condition I would say upper lower class (section 8 housing in North Carolina) to lower middle class (by the time I graduated high school).

If I wanted to learn something, I was pretty much on my own. I found school to be largely a waste of time but I had little say in attending elementary, middle and high school. I still felt the same way by the time I was graduating college, but I wasn't quite ready to enter the Real World and college was a good excuse to avoid it.

I received a Pell Grant for the first semester of college, but the paper work was insane so I ended up working my way through college. In this, I was fortunate that cheap (as in "too easy to get") student loans had yet to flood the market with money so tuition wasn't insane. That, and I attended a Florida State college as a resident (cheaper than going out of state) and it was only a few miles from home so I saved money there.
If you're stuck in CLOSE_WAIT, it's a bug in your software: You've received a fin and need to close the socket if you're done with it.

The socket should be marked ready for reading, but when you try to read you'll get zero bytes back: Something in your framework may not realize that -- truss/strace the process and I'd guess you'll see a 0 byte read followed by not closing it; alternatively you may not be polling the socket for read availability?

Some things would change if you intended for the socket to be half closed, but I don't think you do?
Not exactly true, there are subcases where you can isolate islands of objects and be sure they wouldn't interact.
Uh, probably? Why would the field have kept her out? I know several self-taught/non-CS majored programmers.
Interesting choice of words, "well worth the price." I took a peek and was shocked to find that I could pick up a copy for $40. I imagine if it's any good it is worth an order of magnitude more than the price.

It's a little sobering what a good PC application sells for today, honestly.
What's really attractive to me is that it's also an existing, "real" architecture instead of a custom one-off (which may have been designed specifically to ease a particular implementation.) It would be fun to see a discrete 8080, Z80, or even 8086, for much the same reason.
I am a bit confused by what you are wondering; all of those examples you give are using diversity in the same way, to mean having a wide variety.

Why diversity is a good thing might vary from case to case, but it is almost universally a good thing.

In this case, I think the article author is arguing that the diversity of app distribution channels is good for the same reason biological diversity is good; if something happens to make one distribution channel go bad, there are lots of others that can take over the role.

You might like What Do I Need to Know to Ace a JavaScript Interview?[1] I have been learning JavaScript on my own for about 1 year now. I put together that list of links as I reviewed for a coding job. I had bookmarked a lot of things I thought were important or I kept returning to. They didn't offer me a job coding JavaScript. At the end of 2 hour interview they said they would hire me if I took a month or two to learn Go. (If you are in South Florida, Delivery Dudes is hiring Go coders BTW) I love JavaScript and several months later I'm still not getting paid. I regret not taking that job now, but I want to finish what I started.

I can't imagine being useful to anyone with a 3-5 months boot camp.

If the data was in JSON it would promise a that it followed the JSON spec -- but its not, it follows its defined spec, which in the case of readelf is apparently undefined.

Other programs that expect to be machine parsable define in great detail the output. In your initial post I replied to you mentioned ps. In the case of ps it has many options to help you get the data you want without using standard parsing tools. That is because its output was expected to be consumed by both humans and possibility other programs.

Now take readelf on the other hand. It clearly talks about in its man page about being more readable. Its author cares about how it will look on a terminal and even goes through the effort to implement -W which makes it nice to view on larger terminals. It even shows in print_vma, where somebody wen tout of their way to print hex if the number was larger than 99999. If the author really cared about the ability to be parsed they would have added a OUTPUT FORMAT CONTROL section that would provide you the contract you are looking for. Just saying if the data was in JSON does not solve your problem. Why? Because the author of readelf did not spend time to define its output properly in the man page it is not likely he/she would have implemented a json output type when piped little alone take the time to provide the object structures in the man page.

You say it's not about binary vs text but I don't think that can be said. There are lots of things to consider.

* Speed of encoding and decoding.
* Memory consumption issues with larger objects needing to be fully decoded before being able to be used or processed.
* Binary data would need to be encoded and would likely result in much more overhead.

Its not clear to me that a binary option would not be better than a text one. Pipes today are not just used for simple scripts and system management.

There are lots of things that concern me, maybe it is just the implementation details.

* Not all command line programs are written with the expectation to be parsed. How do we handle that? Force the programmer to make all output parsable regardless if they ever intended on the program being used in some script?
* Would a program put the same thing to stdout even if it was flowing to a terminal? Are terminals not for humans?
* Would structure be enforced? One of the awesome things about stdin/stdout is that you can send ANY data you want.

That all said I would love it if programs who intended on their output to be parsed offered a JSON output. I am not against structured output. I am against forcing programmers to shoehorn their output into some format that may not be the best for their program. I think a well designed and documented command line tool that expects to be parsed by other programs will go out of its way to ensure the format is documented and adhered to when operating.
Maybe if you're from Scandinavia are women typically over 5'6". Only a handful of countries register an "average female height" that large on this wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_average_human_height_w...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_height has graphs with percentile breakdowns, purportedly based on US CDC data, with median female height at around 5'3" to 5'4". Wolframalpha spits back 5'5" as the median human height though it says "weighted for USA demographics".

> that still leaves many women at taller than 5'6".

I didn't forget that at all, I just don't see how relevant it is, unless you think airlines moving hundreds of millions of passengers per year should be optimizing seat sizes for the long tail of the human form.
Twitter will never be strapped for cash, it's owned by a filthy rich billionaire.
But since nobody has a stronger conventional military, this could be a good propaganda move -- because others can't say "well Americans are beligerant, they could nuke us any day without warning, look! it's right there in their military doctrine, so we have to seek nuclear technology to defend outselves.".

This could also be a potential boost for military contractors since because now we need a stronger conventional military so more, tanks, bombers, drones, etc. If anyone asks why they can say "because our doctrine changed, so a bigger military means more peace".

Tone dialing was such a crack-up. My grandmother refused to pay for it and it was always such a pain in the ass placing calls from her house. What was so funny is that the phone company had already transitioned to digital switches so somebody actually had to configure that line to intentionally not interpret the DTMF. If you didn't pay the $3 or whatever a month for tone service, they would have to create a burden for you.
Dave Taylor (ddt) and I and another friend had some Q's on our college transcripts (from dropping classes after the tuition refund deadline). We joked that we should have a fraternity for losers like us. We called it delta q delta. Dave named the iddqd cheat after that joke. This is also why my vanity domain name is dqd.com. Dave did end up graduating, but I and the other friend didn't.

Looks like it's been corrected, but there are people who try to exclude the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings due to the significant difference between those weapons (usually calling them "atomic bombs") and the later classes of boosted-fission and finally fission-fusion thermonuclear devices ("hydrogen bombs") which formed the bulk of the Cold War nuclear arsenal on both sides.

Not saying it's correct to try to sweep the WWII bombings under the rug that way, but it is a thing I've seen people try to do.

You can certainly print them, but there's no guarantee you'll get all its contents by default, and there's still the problem of how to create those objects from some other output, e.g. in a file.

ofcourse it could go wrong.

This appears to be another scalability vs human intervention argument that occurs commonly in public and private enterprises.

Apple felt more like a newspaper agency. Many teams contribute for various sections, many compete to be above the fold, then Steve Jobs acting as editor in chief determines what the ledes are.

There was a separation of business and content creators but since they don't rely on advertising to pay the bills the content creators got more freedom and resources to play with than a traditional newspaper firm.
If we assume navigating a city is the harder part of trucking (and I believe that, I've seen some crazy trucking maneuvers on city streets), and that truckers of the future are going to be largely navigating the city over and over, then we are quickly going to see which truckers can do that well without problems. The number of truckers available on the market will increase, but the job will be fundamentally different in the composition of skills required. It's possible that those that can quickly and reliably navigate city roads without problem will rise to the top and be able to command higher wages. It's not guaranteed and it wouldn't be immediate, but I'm not sure it's unlikely.

I did the same, basically, by quitting Facebook. Technically, I didn't quit it, just deleted the app from my phone. I was a daily poster and habitual feed browser and commenter but I stopped cold-turkey. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it but I did and it turned out so much better than expected. Stress level is way down. Way less desire to live up to unrealistic, self-imposed expectations.
