> #1 arguably makes sense. Unless "null" were a "type" (which it isn't), the other possible options for this ("undefined", or "string", "number", "array", etc.) all make less sense.

`typeof` gets the primitive type of a value, and exactly like undefined null is a primitive value with its own primitive type, as `typeof undefined` returns `"undefined"` `typeof null` was supposed to return `"null"`, it doesn't due to a bug in the original implementation which was then spec-enshrined as fixing it would break too much stuff: http://www.2ality.com/2013/10/typeof-null.html

Well, your ed comparison could aswell be made for vi -vs- emacs (or Eclipse spit). As long as the code being written is entered as fast as someone can type on the keyboard, it really doesn't matter which editor they use. Sure, vim and emacs and bloaty-stuff-in-java can help in various ways, but since they aren't really writing the code for you, if the limit is how fast you can write the code, the amount of java or elisp or vim-scripts around your text editor won't have a large impact on how good network code or how safe your string handling is.

I won't argue that the opposite is true, but the general speed limit in openbsd is not the tooling or even the meta-tooling around the source tree, but rather how many decent coders is active at this moment and how much useful code can they get reviewed and committed.

I don't think I've ever seen something along the lines of "phew, if I hadn't had $weird-dvcs in place, I could not have invented this provably correct parallel AVX-accelerated version of SHA768" or something to that effect.

This is because:

> [] + {}

Becomes:

> [].toString() + {}.toString()

Empty array to a string is "" (empty string). Object to string is "[object Object]".

> {} + []

Becomes:

> +[]

The prefix turns the array into a number, same as Number([]). This seems to be because {} is interpreted as a code block, not an object, due to it being the first thing.

Put it in parentheses and it'll do toString like before.

The first of which is just my point. Null cannot be treated safely as an object in any way. To attempt such elicits an exception. Yet its type is 'object' nonetheless, needlessly complicating every type check that has to do with objects. I've been working with Javascript, professionally and as a hobbyist, since about 1995, and have yet to encounter any satisfactory reason why this should be the case.

It's "acceptable-throughput" for that use case, and you can balance the tradeoffs of compilation time to optimisation (for time or code size) by adding -On parameters. That's a very different kind of throughput to "compile small functions many times per second".
Control as an euphemism for restriction of free movement for xenophobic reasons.

It was discussed a hundred times (and your answer shows partly why Brexit won: the message didn't get there) that the UK is not in Schengen (hence they control their borders) and can stop and/or kick out any EU nationals that are a security issue or a burden to the system. Other countries have exercised this right previously (Spaniards kicked out of Belgium, English hooligans threatened to be kicked out of France during the last Eurocup, etc).

The only reason to kick foreigners people think of when they talk about control is fear. They fear foreigners. That's what "the EU didn't let them".
Could antibiotics (especially anti-resistant antibiotics such as this) be used in a phased manner worldwide to help prevent resistant bacteria from gaining a foothold?

Say a couple similarly potent (a few vectors to kill bacteria) antibiotics are found in the next 20-30 years. If the WHO encouraged/mandated that drug A was prescribed for the first 10 years, B for the next, then C before going back to A could we "confuse" the bacteria?

An an American living in Siberia, I can say that Siberia is pretty civilized. The government mail is pretty reliable for things that don't look "interesting". [1] I've personally received postcards from the USA without a problem. It's certainly not comparable to North Korea or Syria.

[1] The Russian post has a reputation for stealing foreign mail that looks like it might contain money, information about money, or credit cards. I haven't tried it myself: for important stuff I use FedEx or DHL.
Funnily enough, the hypocrisy lies in saying cheap labour is bad, but 0.005% company tax is good :-)
I read a lot of PKD when I was in my 20's. It all started with Ubik. Then Androids. A Scanner Darkly. And about 10 other novels. The early Total Recall is one of the better movie adaptations wrt covering the core concepts of the story. Waves and Waves of revelations about the nature of reality. Minority Report, not so much. And of course, Blade Runner is tangentially related to the book. (It's a masterpiece, but it's not Androids)

Once I started getting into the short stories, I started getting pretty paranoid. There's one theme that repeats throughout that reality is not your perception of it, to your eventual downfall. Repeated over and over, across post apocalyptic wastelands, it leads to a somewhat bleak view of the future. (One in particular, I think it's The Fifth Variety, seems to be tailor made to describe computer security from here on out. Spoiler: _Everything_ is a trojan)
If the government spends in excess and prints money to cover the costs, that means an increase in money supply. Which leads to inflation. Indeed, the spending alone would not be a problem if it was properly managed.

> Sharing government with other people is not prison or a lack of freedom, it's simply respect for others.

But that respect between countries under the guise of the EU doesn't necessarily lead to a more effective system of government.

With 28 member states all vying to promote their own wares it means trying to form trade deals is a multi year process that leads to no tangible output (see the failing Canada trade deal as a prime example).

You argue that 60 million people might not make a global super power but it's going to be a lot easier for one nation to form new trade agreements that one conglomerate made up of members with completely different ideas and opinions.

You might also consider getting a mentor within the company. This is how we do it at $employer; you report to a manager, but your tasks and assistance come from a single mentor whose purpose during your tenure is to guide you towards completing your assigned project.

I did not want to be impolite, so I took some time to think if I can answer your question in a way that would satisfy you.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can and this also would do no good for the original topic. I hope you can understand that.

If you are interested in the topic what I would recommend is to try to get a better understanding how the investigation in war crimes is handled, especially after a country pulls all or a large part of its armed forces from a conflict region like Iraq or Bosnia.

Good luck.

As a fun thing at steampunk conventions, I have the Aetheric Message Machine Company, Ltd. People at steampunk conventions can send in SMS text messages, which are printed on an antique Teletype machine in a brass and glass case. Recipients get a yellow envelope and a message on classic yellow Teletype paper, delivered by costumed messengers who call out "Telegram for ..." . We set up a full telegraph office, with signs, props, and staff.[1]

The system uses Twilio. Twilio sends the messages to a web server which returns an immediate SMS reply to the sender, then queues the message for typing. We don't charge anything for this. I considered getting an SMS short code and charging for messages, but it wouldn't generate enough revenue to be worth it.

We did a thorough job on this, with a web site, videos, code on Github, a modest social media presence, and some press coverage. Zoominfo thinks it's a real company, with revenue of $2,400,000 and 12 employees.[2] One wonders where Zoominfo gets its numbers. They didn't come from us.

>Recognizing road signs and making judgement calls on the above are not the same order of magnitude of complexity.

On the contrary, self-driving vehicles go far beyond merely "recognizing road signs", and must make life and death judgement calls themselves.

Recognizing a person holding a weapon is already in the realm of current machine vision capability. In an environment where robotic infantry is deployed, it's not a stretch to imagine friendly forces possessing equipment to facilitate friend/foe identification.

Moreover, robotic infantry doesn't necessarily have to be lethal in the first place.

Thanks for the context, it's very useful.

From a US perspective, it's common for our top politicians, when talking about a problem, to present a specific proposal for legislation they would use to fix the problem. It makes their words more credible to me. It is easy to complain that things are bad, harder to describe in detail how things could be better. To be cynical, these plans are written by staffers and the politician may just memorize the key points. But it at least demonstrates there is some commitment to the issue.

A big issue is that the feature in question sounds simple but is really quite complex (e.g. tell whether a picture is of a bird) and I'm not sure I'm conveying this effectively to the CEO. It's really a confluence of problems: lack of communication due to high friction, lack of organization, lack of documentation, and lack of mock-ups or user stories.
What I'll try to do is create and assign myself tasks on our task tracker so we all at least have some idea if what I should be doing, and I can use this as a starting point to ask for clarification.

I can see how you got to the conclusion you did but I think you're making the wrong analogies like the gp.

The penny you pick up on the street, despite any argument to the contrary, hasn't been put there for safekeeping. It's lost and it's value is so low that it's immaterial if you return it or not. Actually the loss in productivity and the impossibility of the task is such returning it, unless you saw the person who dropped it, is probably a negative thing.

Now if that was $65000 then you might keep it because you can and it benefits you, but the ethical thing to do is to attempt to return it to its owner.

Compare that to a weak password though, as far as you know it isn't even lost. You're just assuming that it will be stolen so it might as well be you. Do you feel the same way about the contents of other peoples houses? Pretty much anyone who wants has the ability to enter your home, we don't do that because of ethics.

That's just the default string type. I started out with escaping but noticed it's a lot of complexity that is rarely needed (not for my own use case, which is accounting, inventory, and some web apps which don't need it).

The advantage of not having escaping is easier seds and greps which don't miss the field boundaries.

The important concept though is that arbitrary datatypes elements can be added by the user of an API implementation (the python library already offers that). The datatypes define their lexical syntax, like in perl6. I will also declare more "default" datatypes and might include a C-like string after enough consideration.
