So leaving morality and emotions out of it - why does globalization seem to disproportionately benefit the coasts?

Coasts are where most of the cities are. As for where globalization benefits? This question is somewhat oversimplified. There are two factors: the culture/demographic side and the economic side. That is, globalization has economic winners and losers AND cultural consequences.

Obviously there are going to be some winners and some losers, but how did it come to be that the winners are disproportionately concentrated in certain geographic locations?

You might better ask, why did certain geographic locations win? The people have changed. One of the key requirements of globalization is the free movement of labor. Jobs move to where the labor is and labor goes to where the jobs are. A small town has no future when it loses its only factory to Mexico while all its brightest youths go to Silicon Valley and New York City to work in IT, Media, and big Finance and spend lots of time getting drunk and having sex. Once that happens, the small towns left behind either manage to pivot into tourism or an exburban haven for telecommuters, or they just die a long, slow death; kept on life support by Wal Mart while Meth labs and Mexican heroin ravage their communities.

One other important thing to look at, as far as people's attitudes go, is the pace of change and the nature of the change. If a local factory failed because they failed to compete with foreign competition, that would inspire people to figure out a better way to compete. Everyone fails together or succeeds together. But when a local factory is shut down because the owners have decided to cash in on globalization, people are more likely to be upset and feel betrayed and look to government for help.
I'm glad Evan took out some of the Haskellish syntax that non-Haskellers find confusing, like the x' variable names and backtick syntax.

The decision to write something with backticks or the pipe operator seemed to be a matter of personal taste, and I like a system where these less-important decisions are already made.
I agree that working at a startup for equity is akin to the lottery, but the perks of startups are so much better than big companies. Catered lunch, free food in the kitchen, kegs onsite, etc. I could never go back to a cubicle with no windows in sight!

Oh, there's definitely a hermit vs ceo aspect here, but I really doubt it justifies being an anger prone leader with no filter. There are many leaders who aren't like this yet somehow they do okay and on the flipside many academics who are one-man shops who are massive jerks. I suspect tech draws in certain personality types (DIY types, aspies, loners, etc) who really never developed the social skills needed, didn't really do much teamwork when younger as tech is often a hermit's game, and fell into a position of authority and went with the default of bullying, which clearly gets results, but doesn't make for the best work environment.

I find myself dealing with the same struggles at work. I can't believe how slow/stupid/careless so many of my co-workers are, but snapping at them is ultimately counter-productive and more than likely bad for my career. Frankly, I don't considering myself a good team player and I lean towards the hermit approach often. If I was the boss, who knows, I'd probably be a terror.
I'm in a roughly similar (if lower in scale) situation. I maintain a popular iOS app that frequently gets emails from people confusing my email address with the official support email from the service my app is a third-party tool for. I get emails on the order of maybe 3-4 a week.

I have a TextExpander snippet auto-reply. Takes me maybe 10 seconds to reply to a given email. It's hard to give advice without knowing the rough volume of the emails the author deals with; I can imagine situations where this would be a perfectly viable strategy, or times when even that would be an unreasonable amount of work.
As someone based outside the US (Canada), would it be advisable to incorporate in Delaware?

If not, how would I go about the income from my side projects?

It's really quite sad that someone with this much skill is spending this much time on a project like this.
I've noticed this change as well.

My fear is that the toxic startup culture (open-plan offices, Agile) will spread into Corporate America proper and make those jobs just as bad as the SV-funded startup jobs.
Unless you need the liability protection or have very high income, the overhead in Canada of having a corp is very costly. Hiring an accountant to file corp taxes is usually over $1500 a year alone, then you need payroll, etc. Then you're also paying double tax on that income with a corp. Corp receives income and pays corp tax, pays employee (you) you pay income tax.

If you have a small side project with low risk then I recommend sole proprietor for sure.

In any case, soon as you start generating income you need to track income/expenses, register your business, register for HST and setup a separate bank account. I think TD here charges $25/mo just for that privilege.

So yeah, sometimes a fun side project loses its excitement when your stuck doing paperwork and start adding up the expenses, it's not worth it.

UIDs and GIDs are just numbers to the kernel. Root inside a jail become any UID/GID and chmod/chown files just like root outside the jail, but even root inside a jail is locked down into the jail root directory.

You can prevent root inside a jail from modifying files with several mechanisms. The simplest is to not allow (re-)mounting from inside the jail which is the default and mount the relevant file systems read-only. BSD extended flags offer a finer granularity and by default root inside a jail isn't considered privileged by chflags(2). You can disable the security feature in which case the normal rules apply and access is controlled by the secure level (jails have their own secure level).

Processes running inside a jail have access to the full UID and GID namespace without any mappings.

PIDs exist in a global namespace and are allocated by the kernel. Processes inside a jail can't address PIDs unless they are inside the same jail or a child jail. Root inside the host can always address all PIDs. Non-root processes in the host (and jails) are subject to the security.bsd.see_other_uids and security.bsd.see_other_gids sysctls which can be disabled to protect the obvious ways to spy on other users. There is also support for various forms of mandatory access control. Have a look at the `mac_*` manual pages for more information on the available MAC disciplines.

Restricting the jails to just their processes in a shared namespace is a much cleaner alternative to loosing the PID as unique global process identifier. And mapping between different scopes is even worse than extending the identifier from an integer into a tuple.

FreeBSD also supports hierarchical resource limits. Jail ids are one possible subject type to limit. That way you can limit resource consumption per jail. See https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?rctl and https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?rctl.conf for more details on that.
Just read the Ars review - it looks like the bar is divided into three, with only the middle area fully under app control (the left hand area showing dialogue box controls or escape). It does say that the bar slows down under heavy load though.

32k? Loooxury! We had to bang magnetic rocks together fast enough in order to induce a current on the phone line and we only got 1200 baud and WE LIKED IT.

Seriously, 32k in the days of shareware? I think the fastest modem I ever saw (in that era, anyway) was 19.2k, and almost nobody had those. Pretty sure I went from 19.2 straight to ADSL.

Don't forget the DE annual report fee ($50) and the DE annual franchise tax ($175 - $180,000, depending on share count). Plus the registered agent ($50) I pay $275/year.

The bigger cost for me is the C-Corp tax returns, average cost $806/year, but I suppose that applies to C-Corps everywhere.

The "oh I can live with this" moment for me with the new mac was remapping caps-lock to escape. It's not as bad as I expected it to be(the new keyboard layout). Not as good as I wanted, but not as horrible as HN and other places warned.
A diamond ring loses a large amount of its value when you purchase it, because engagement rings don't really ever sell for what they bought them for. If he uses that MBP for work, it is a return on the investment as it allows him to earn income with it, eventually (hopefully) more than what he spent on it.

The diamond just sits on her finger for bragging rights.
The point was more about the reaction of the rep, that it was ludicrous of me to consider passwords to be case sensitive, but yeah, not a good sign in general, though as I use a unique password for everything (1Password) I'm less concerned.

Related, the "3d secure" credit card verification system asks for individual chars of a password (at least in the UK).
I think times were a bit different then. People are bracing for a major change to the automotive business between autonomous driving and electric cars.
I was hoping that the first part would have an explainer to justify the mention of the GF. Something like, "My girlfriend is not a programmer and has never taken computer science classes. The following drawing are what I used to explain ML to her."
> the squashed arrow keys are as much of a problem for me as the missing escape key

Could you elaborate on this aside? To me, it looks like a strict improvement on the arrow keys since the up/down keys are identical and the left/right keys have simply been embiggened (stretched upwards). Or do you think the negative space above the left/right keys gave important touch feedback?
I don't think it's possible to come up with a better name for this project.
Xamarin Native developer here,
I started off by trying to create a Pokemon Go Map app. Although I got off to a quick start, slowly it downed upon me that I started spending too much time finding fixes for Xamarin issues rather that programming. I used macbook as agent and visual studio as IDE. Sometimes the deployment would take 5 minutes! I then had to restart the agent to fix it. As a programmer I am rather a person who runs a code, change a little bit in code, then run it again. If I dont understand things I google it or find the documentation. Thats my way of learning things instead of reading through programming books.

For me Xamarin Native was slow and rigid. I highly doubt I could make 'innovative' apps with Xamarin. Maybe it is okay for people who want simple things like a "to-do app" or somethign that fetches list of images and displays it.

I wanted more and found no solution for things I needed, so I gave up and started xcode (swift + some objective c).

And let me be clear here, if I had spent same amonut of time on xcode as xamarin I would have been iOS dev master :)

Things just works much better. You can do anything you imagine with Xcode and swift. With Xamarin its more like find whatever library is out there and try to create something by combining these. Too many bugs.

This is no sly dig on Xamarin or Microsoft as I use alot of MS products myself. I have also tried phonegap, react native etc. and Xamarin is the best when it comes to cross platform without a question, but none of these can match true native coding (xcode swift/objc)
I assume you're raking in downvotes because the context was pretty clearly why someone would have at some point in the past published a personal phone number long before the services you describe were available. Clearly, most people wouldn't do so today.
He should change it. Regardless of the intention, this is how it will be interpreted.
IIRC, a lot of these site require that you share a unique photo or video (something they don't have in their library already) as a condition of membership. This ensures that only the most serious users even get a chance to view the forums.

These communities would have a lot more producers in them than your run-of-the-mill CP imageboards, as they have to fulfill a barrier to entry that only a seasoned CP consumer or producer would be able to meet.

So, once the FBI have control of the site, they can sort out all the lurkers who are consuming but not actively participating (probably uncommon, given that these sites also require you to remain active to keep your membership) and get damning information about people who are mass-distributing/selling and/or producing child pornography.
Solar proves the opposite, as it is hyper-local.

Why bother with remote power generation and such, when I can hang stuff on my roof and get free energy?

(I am for large scale clean power generation, along with solar panels and other local tech. Just the ones with big money aren't - you know, the ones that make the laws and pass them on to Congress.)
Actually, I think that's unfair. I saw how little comments there were and thought, everyone is keeping quiet. Why? The context? Why should the context really matter, when it's the technology that is intriguing?
The first GItS movie is actually set in Hong Kong (although never explicitly stated, IIRC). There is no shared continuity between the manga, the two anime series and the movies. The new live action movie is probably also in its own continuity.

No matter what you think the specs say, the fact is the software and hardware are so well integrated it tears strips off “superior spec’d” Windows counterparts in the real world.

could the statement be any broader? what are the "superior spec'd windows counterparts in real world" he's compared it to? Also he's using Final Cut Pro which happens to be an Apple product so if that's faster due to integration how does that help anyone using non apple development software which I presume is majority of macbook pro users. I edit a lot of photos and I don't use any Apple software for it

How, with just an hour, do you manage to get anything meaningful done?

I've tried that and I have to spend 10 minutes figuring out where I was, 15 minutes researching how to do the next bit that I want (esp. for a project in a new dev environment), 10 minutes upgrading various libraries or other stuff that is needed/needs updating, and then maybe 25 minutes of actual coding. I progresses very slowly.

Maybe my side projects are too ambitious, at least relative to my skill in their respective areas.

Name or initial is not quite the same thing, I think. I don't know anyone who has names or initials as a wedding/engagement tattoo. It's usually a simple symbol, like a rune, or in my case, a Moebius ring (two sides that are one, what better wedding symbolism is there?). Although I do know one person with both a wedding and an engagement tattoo who is about to get a divorce after more than 10 years of marriage.

The Iron Triangle: One Project Constraint to Rule Them All
This isn't good news. One of my ideas for open, secure hardware involved a partial or whole acquisition of Mentor by a company that was pro-FOSS. Then, the product lines would be tweaked for easy verification. Plus deals for hardware startups that got them the tools cheap to free early on with guaranteed revenue for Mentor if successful.

Now, one of the Big 3 of EDA is in the hands of a large corporation far from our interests. This kind of thing happens a lot. It's to be expected. Oh well.

"Web developers" should compile a browser(like Chromium) every so often, to provide themselves a reminder of the massive gap between what they do, and what "developers" do. Those CUDA cores and more CPU are very important to non-web-developers.
This categorized approach is what my email usage has evolved into over the years. I ended up "demoting" email addresses over time and letting them be used for spam-attractive uses or disuse altogether.

I have another category for family/close personal friends. For money matters, I go a step further and split out general commerce (online shopping) from financial institutions (banking/investment).

How one female founder developed a successful fundraising strategy
Donald Trump's campaign and the Silicon Valley scene are basically the same thing: High Frequency Experimental Assholery. You try things (in politics, nasty nicknames; in business, open-plan offices and "Agile" neo-Taylorism and reduced health benefits) and use what plays and toss aside what doesn't. Just as Trump A/B tested nicknames until he found ones that stuck (regardless of their truth value) the Silicon Valley economy is one that A/B tests new ways to squeeze workers, customers, and to a lesser degree because they're savvier and more in on the game, investors.

People with enough talent to comprise leverage are starting to realize that "startup" is just the new corporate ladder, but with worse health benefits and more instability. The promises of fast promotion and investor-level introductions and lucrative exits almost never come through.

Within 5 years, it'll be the leftovers who remain in the venture-funded scene. Good programmers will be extremely thin on the ground.

That's the good news. The Y Combinator/Donald Trump model of business is short-focused and won't survive. The bad news is that there aren't a whole lot of jobs in "regular" Corporate America for top talent either. There are a few, but most of what these large companies do is just as boring as what the VC-funded startups these days are doing.

One major let-down for me in macbook pros is the lack of a nvidia GPU. You can't do serious machine learning on those laptops. I actually had to buy a previous-gen macbook pro

I'm not sure what to do if I had to get a new laptop. On one hand, I have a few iOS projects, and on the other hand, it's always nice to run locally and quickly a few deep learning algos.

The limited connections are also a let down

Also, it's much easier to track the average person's actions when you send them an email vs when they have an RSS feed. So, all these websites that show a 'sign up for my newsletter' popup when you visit them, will not choose the RSS option.

I hate tracking URLs, pixels etc. but I don't see how we can get them to not use them.
Thanks for writing it up. A few suggestions:

Some of the response here I think would be avoided if you added a bit of an introduction to your girlfriend (this doesn't need to be identifying), as it seems to be being taken as a general "women don't know X" rather than "my girlfriend didn't know about X so this is how I explained it". This would also help set the scene a bit, who is the audience? Are they very, slightly, just somewhat or not at all technical?

Perhaps some additions that would be good are what are her questions? What's she asking you in response to these things? They have a good chance of being the kind of questions your readers might be asking too, and so having questions and your answers might be a nice thing to see.

By using the word 'teenager' in your reponse, you're simply employing an argumentation tactic referred to as reductio ad absurdum. This can only mean one of two things; you're either too emotional about the subject at hand or you're underestimating the role of envy in the formation of societies. I'll only address the reason that matters, which is the latter.

I'll refer you to an excerpt from 'Envy a theory of social behavior'.

'envy has played a large part in forming human society, and that, secondly, the role of envy often remains hidden'

Also

'socialism and democracy were put forward as ideas by members of society who were not able "to deal with their own envy"'

It's even worse than those. A luxury car will probably be high quality, and might have extra features not standard on more reasonably priced cars. Living in a certain part of town is probably safer. A fancy diamond is only expensive because people think it can be expensive.
