Why, yes, there is: Kangax's Compatibility Table.[1]

A strange watch-like device that came out of the USSR was the watch-sized circular slide rule. Looks like a small pocket watch, and has two knobs, one for the inner dial and one for the cursor. I have one of these. Pictures:

Of course there is something that links "third" to "three", "fourth" to "four", etc. It's called language. So it's not surprising that we abbreviate "third" with "3rd".

The historical "accident" is that we don't start with "zeroth". That's probably what you wanted to say but the reasoning tripped me up.

I'd like Prof. Gordon to break down the skyrocketing 1% incomes by profession. Wasn't most of it due to high tech?

His chart shows the disparity dramatically widening starting in the mid-80s, which is precisely when the microcomputer revolution was accelerating. The 1990s saw a booming stock market and the minting of thousands of new millionaires and dozens of billionaires as well.

These stock-rich technology entrepreneurs should be seen not as an exploitative class to be feared and countered, but rather as a sign of successful capitalism at its finest, brilliant new ideas that have changed the world and vastly expanded the major Western economies with new modalities for doing our work, communicating, and nearly everything else.
It is refreshing to see the scientific community stand against Elsevier. Great news!
Having grown up in Portland and worked with and for Bay Area companies my whole career, I'd say that I agree with the premise that for younger tech people it could be beneficial to move there- but not because of the money. Because of the size of the community and more diverse opportunities.

I thought PDX was a vibrant (albeit small) tech scene until I moved to Seattle. It was amazing how many more opportunities to meet and learn from interesting people there were across all tech stacks. Having enough friends down in the SF area I get the impression that their scene is even more lively.

As for bigger salaries, I think it's mostly hype. My anecdotal evidence makes me believe that there's likely more opportunities for early stage equity/stock type agreements than you'd find in other places, but my salary has always compared favorably to people in the exact same role living down in the bay- and that's before factoring in the cost of living.
I don't know if you've noticed this or not, but, while the .NET Core has hit RTM, the tooling is always marked as being a "Preview" for good reason. (https://www.microsoft.com/net/core)

They've got a solid idea on how to work .NET Core, the desktop .NET framework and .NET Standard as the bridge, but the tooling for .NET Core work is undergoing frequent revisions.
Well, part of the issue is being able to find time+energy to be part of a community. With a "work/life" balance actually being a "work/children" balance in many cases, thanks to the nuclear family, it's very difficult to find time to do anything since the expectation is that you're keeping a hawk eye on your kids at all times.

Young people (or, at least, young people who don't feel the need to work 80-hour work weeks) do actually have a significant sense of community since they still have time to be active in communities. Personally, knowing that I have people I could arrange to be around on short notice who actually care about me is an incredible boost to my mental health.

Yes. This is like debating a rational knowledgeable opponent as opposed to debating an irrational unknowledgeable opponent. You really need to be prepared for both. The one is more like vetting. The other is more like selling.

I think investors especially want an answer to the irrational because frankly, the rational knowledgable argument is hard to understand. That gets worse the deeper into a bubble we get.

Did I just say that investors are not rational? Yes, I just said that investors are not rational. I'm not a believer in the Efficient Market Hypothesis:

Take this with a grain of salt since this is mostly the marketing and what I've gotten in my own experiences. Of course, this can differ wildly from box to box so take that into account as well.

>> Does the number of cores affect general performance or only helps in multitasking and data science

More cores means more data can be processed at the same time. For a gamer, even if you have 20 cores, it doesn't help you because they're after speed. For myself, it's being able to run several Adobe products doing video editing, photo editing, and graphic design, on all the same machine, at the same time. Think of it as workload vs. speed. Workstations are more powerful and built for heavy workloads, whereas gaming PC's are mainly built for speed.

And yes, the main application is in crunching big data sets, CAD design, or anything heavy on the graphical side of things. I definitely saw a big swing in stability when I switched to a workstation with the myriad of Adobe products I use.

>> Is ECC memory worth it (in practice, not in theory)

So in theory this is the advantage of ECC:

ECC (which stands for Error Correction Code) RAM is very popular in servers or other systems with high-value data as it protects against data corruption by automatically detecting and correcting memory errors. Standard RAM uses banks of eight memory chips in which data is stored and provided to the CPU on demand. ECC RAM is different as it has an additional memory chip which acts as both error detection and correction for the other eight RAM chips.

In practice, I can say it for sure helps your system to be a lot more reliable and stable. I've been running my workstation for several years without a power cycle and its been rock solid, no issues, no hiccups, no nothing. As such, this is the main advantage of workstations is their reliability. I also like the idea in some models of stuffing up to 128GB of RAM or running dual video cards.

In the end, with so many people opting for laptops and gaming systems, you can get your hands on a hell of a workforce PC for under $500. The processors and video card are still dirt cheap (around $100). The only mildly expensive stuff is the RAM. I've really good luck with the HP workstations, but that's just me. I'd say dig around and see what you can find. It's also pretty easy to build one of these from scratch since the parts are so widely available.

Yeah, I just discovered my ISP (WebPass) has exhausted their IPv4 allocation [1] and is transitioning residential customers to private IPv4 addresses, and I'm not really sure how to set up a VPN on IPv4 now. I guess I need to set up a tunnel over IPv6 somehow?

We should also teach children to start counting at 0 instead of 1. While we're at it, tell them that we only have 8 fingers (not 10), and thus octal would be the conventional base and we can use our thumbs for carry and overflow bits.

Europe also has had more experience with organised terrorism in the 20th century: Rote Armee Fraktion in Germany, CCC in Belgium, ETA in Basque country, IRA in Ireland, to name just a few. That might also partly explain why the reactions to terror attacks are more measured.

Personally I find that hyphen-separated identifiers are more readable than when they have underscores. When dabbling in perl6 I got accustomed to then very quickly. And forcing people to put spaces around binary operators is definitely a plus.
Well, at a high level, mostly performance optimizations.

But in the future I would not be surprised if they try to support TypeScript natively.

It's not dumb at all. It's one of the things we had in mind when we designed the syntax!

Well, I still have a spam filter algorithm. But I'm overall done balancing multiple personal email accounts because of the liability involved. If it gets hacked (and it's one I don't ever check), will I notice? It seems unwise to have extra email accounts open, potentially with my personal data and associated with my identity online.

It's also a matter of attention: I have a limited amount of it, and tracking multiple email accounts and managing a spam account isn't worthy of it.
Caveats:

1) Doing anything to the aging of cells in culture has next to nothing to do with what goes on inside aging tissues, or where it does that is heavily dependent on the details. The article doesn't tell you enough to decide, so you should look at the paper.

2) Doing anything that attenuates the effects of an accelerated aging phenotype, actually usually a DNA repair disorder, almost always has nothing to do with aging as it happens in normal individuals. You can hit mice with hammers, and then evaluate the effects of a hammer-blocking cage, but that doesn't tell you anything about aging - and for exactly the same reasons. This is generally true except when it is isn't, and that depends on the fine details. Again, go look at the paper.

3) The interesting experiment is the one in which pluripotency-inducing factors are upregulated in a normal mouse. This is the thing that people have looked at in the past and said, well, turning on widespread transformation of somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells sounds like a really bad idea. Cancer seems the likely outcome, but there is also the point that your central nervous system rather relies upon maintaining the fine structure it has established in many cases, such as data stored in the brain. Running in and randomly reprogramming any CNS cells that take up the vector or the pluripotency signals seems like a bad idea on the face of it.

So on the whole it is fascinating that a good outcome was produced in the normal mice, analogous to the sort of thing that has been produced via stem cell transplants and telomerase gene therapies. But I'd still want to see what happens to the mice over the long term after that, and would expect cancer.

Essential Angular 2: Compilation
The number one thing Google could do to improve v8, IMO, is to give it an easy to use cross platform build system. CMake for example. V8 has repeatedly changed build systems. From SCons to Gyp and now to GN. All of these systems have been fraught with errors. Just try building the latest v8 on OSX, Windows and Linux. The SCons system was actually the most reliable. It may not have had all the fancy features of the newer build systems but it was much easier to reliably reproduce the builds.

The second biggest improvement would be to simplify the API. Using Contexts, Isolates, HandleScopes, etc. is complicated and causes the code to crash in unpredictable ways when you get it wrong. The API was built with Chrome's internals in mind and this shows.
This would only work if news were a mere presentation of facts.

I'm afraid this will be used not the way its intended, but to silence and discredit any opposition to e.g. government's agenda.
However, when you apply your "I know these programming languages and their syntax" bias to evaluating the readability of a teaching language, you're rather missing the point.
The thing is, scientists have a much more powerful tool to stop bad publishers: Don't give them your texts.
And maybe even more important: Don't demand from your applicants that they have published in high impact journals from the very same publishers that make your life hard.

That might really change things.

Everyone has been complaining about Elsevier for years now. They still have publications and they still seem to have no problem to fill them. That's the problem.
That's an awesome job.
Yup, that's where my offer was too.
If you're used to the syntax of identifiers from Lispy languages, you'll love the hyphens in the names (what some people call kabob-case). Because the syntax requires spaces between operators, there is no ambiguity. We have had several hundreds of Pyret programmers and there has literally never been any confusion about the syntax: in fact, people didn't even _notice_ they were using `-` in two different ways until it was pointed out to them. Empirical data rocks!
I would second Github pages, you can set up a custom domain. The only issue is trying to set up ssl nicely, but you might not even need that. Use a simple template like the one that http://launchaco.com/build/ provides. Then set up something like mailchimp or maybe FormSpree for a contact form.

I recently did something just like this for my new site http://druidjono.com/ using a Launchaco template (no affiliation).

>Are you opposed to that as well?

HN never pretends to be neutral, it is a community with a set of rules. For example we even expect them to filter out-of-topic posts, and we know very well the opinions of the moderators / founders and where their line in the sand is.

However FB pretends to be neutral. If it's only flagged and there is no impact on the ranking algorithm, of course there would be no issue. It would just be a way to know FB opinion. But, frankly, we know better than that, of course the ranking and the reach will be impacted. This is even the stated intent.
I really hope that each disputed link is given a comprehensive response and not a cookie cutter response.

I think a template response is probably the most likely outcome, especially considering the number of articles that are going to be checked by these organisations. Do they really have the resources available to give a bespoke response?

I think there is danger if these organisations are allowed to submit template responses.

imgur is now a social network. It has long since de-emphasized being an image sharing tool. Almost all actions are now geared toward sharing images inside imgur, and not externally. They just added following and messaging capabilities. Imgur doesn't compete with flickr, it competes with reddit, twitter and facebook.
Yes, it's one of those classic discussions that is never conclusive.
We weren't. We started on G Suite, we had people (myself included except for personal stuff) who've always been on Exchange- but we as a company didn't start on it.

The final straw really was the problems we were having with everyone else's Exchange systems. If I'm organizing a meeting from Google and you're a client of mine on Exchange, there is a high likelihood that if I have to update the meeting details or change times you will not be seeing the correct information on some or all of your devices.

If we didn't have to interface with other companies, sure- we could live with it. But if I'm paying the exact same money or less to get a service that doesn't have these problems, why shouldn't I switch? It's not like I'm supporting the 'little guy' by choosing GOOG over MSFT.
The Pyret design team has done perhaps the most in-depth research into error messages of anyone [e.g.: http://cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Papers/Published/mfk-me..., http://cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Papers/Published/mfk-mi...]. We're deeply aware of the effect of error messages. This isn't a problem.

No, he is correct.

A typical Administration tries for the power to utterly trample liberties, but then is fairly modest about how it actually uses the power. This is, in itself, concerning but not necessarily catastrophic. After all, the government also has the guns and other weapons to kill us all, but probably isn't going to do that either.

The catastrophes occur when the government is less restrained in using the massive power it always has.

OOh, juicy controversial comment. I hope some people take the time to read it instead of passing over it because it's slightly greyed out.

I for one don't agree that reddit and facebook have a "duty" to remain uncensored. If Breitbart is allowed to be overtly pro-Conservative while claiming to be the only "real" news source, reddit and facebook should be allowed to do whatever they please. All the other news agencies do it, what makes facebook so special?
You make some really excellent points, and I agree with all of them.

I will be curious to see what does happens once the US does have to share the military and economic influence you reference. Will we be happy to hand it off? It seems lately, our population has grown weary about waging constant proxy wars and getting involved in long standing regional and tribal disputes that go back thousands of years with no real end in sight.

I feel like there is the beginning of a vacuum and there are a lot of countries already queuing up to get a shot at that power and influence.

quite honestly, "mostly fake but slightly rooted in truth blogspam" is 10000x the problem actual straight fake stories are. vitamins, detox, antioxidants, etc, etc, are a much larger pool of fake news than fabricated propaganda. people are making up outrageous stories for ad revenue, not to win elections. state sponsored narratives are unlikely to get flagged by these types of measures because they will be published by credible sources. I doubt NYT will start failing snopes tests. I doubt every SPLC post will get flagged for being out of context or unverified.
It's not better [1], it's different. There's Typed Racket for people who want that. But many people suffer from visceral negative reactions when confronted with any kind of parenthetical syntax. Pyret was initially designed for them, and has since added on several of its own innovations.

His paper "How Do We Tell Truths That Might Hurt?" Is a good example, IMHO:

It is practically impossible to teach good programming to
students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as
potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond
hope of regeneration.

The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should,
therefore, be regarded as a criminal offence.

APL is a mistake, carried through to perfection. It is the
language of the future for the programming techniques of
the past: it creates a new generation of coding bums.

The use of anthropomorphic terminology when dealing with
computing systems is a symptom of professional immaturity.

More:

I think of the company advertising "Thought Processors" or
the college pretending that learning BASIC suffices or at
least helps, whereas the teaching of BASIC should be rated
as a criminal offence: it mutilates the mind beyond
recovery.

Given, I'm cherry-picking here. Not everything Edsger says is like this. Not by a long shot. He is brilliant, make no mistake.

But I must leave you with a quote from Sir Alan Kay that I found on the Wikiquote page while I was researching this:

You probably know that arrogance, in computer science, is measured in nanodijkstras.

Given, it's Alan, so I don't know how serious he was being.
As a followup thought,

> facebook's real credibility problem is they need to align their profits with community consensus and being community-social, not being individually social.

The best litmus test for this is going to be whether everyone will see the same "disputed by 3rd parties" warning, or whether that warning will be micro-targeted to individual echochambers like everything else is.

If my echochamber will show a warning next to a breitbart piece but my conservative uncle won't see it because his echochamber disagrees with the fact checking, that's going to be a huge red flag that facebook is only continuing the individually-social behavior that created this credibility problem in the first place.
