just bikesheddy stuff like

* |> rather than ^ for the pipe operator (more consistent with several other languages)

* [list| 1, 2, 3] rather than [list: 1, 2, 3] (just for better visual distinction, though the current syntax does look pretty clean and uncluttered)

* having a separate code block for methods of individual variants rather than interspersing them with data definitions (because i think it's important that the basic data definition be as uncluttered as possible)

if you'd like some syntax feedback on your language i'd be happy to take a peek :)

I think you should pay more per unit for a pool or massive outdoor fountain than for drinking and showering. And the water company does, too -- many water companies charge very little for the first X gallons (for basic needs) and then charge a higher price for usage over that.

In the majority of cases, the current layer would have added a log tag to the Context, so looking up the log tags structure will be immediate. On the other hand, we also use OpenTracing and we do have to go through the hierarchy to find the current Span, which will be slower with deep hierarchies.

The other thing to consider is that logging a message carries other costs, so we can't go crazy with very frequent log messages anyway. In our case the message usually also makes its way into an OpenTracing span and that involves memory allocation and/or data copying. My guess is that going through a few linked Contexts is not a big deal, comparatively speaking.

I don't have the kind of benchmark that you are looking for (with vs without using Context), but I can tell you that in the workloads we looked at, tracing was taking a few percentage points (1-2%) of CPU usage, and I don't think a significant part of that was in Context code.

Finally, Context is an interface, so if need be, we can make our own Context implementation that always stores the frequently looked-up things (like log tags, tracing Spans) to short-circuit that cost.

I wrote my original post quickly, and forgot to specify, that one of the MAIN problems I see with the movement issue is indeed the nausea.

I'm not someone who has every gotten motion sickness. I can read in a car, love roller coasters, and have never been sick on a boat once in my life.

Certain movements in oculus give me motion sickness.

Quite concerning is that my person experience in talking with oculus engineers is, they have no good solutions for this. And looking at all the current solutions doesn't provide much hope either. The Omni tracker is perhaps one of the "best" solutions allowing natural movement in a VR space... But I have a hard time believing that will ever be mainstream.

This is imprecise. You have some evidence of some HN-posting entity, because you see a post on HN. That's not the same as theorizing the existence of other, unseen, entities that could potentially post on HN but never will.

Perhaps you meant rather that you've given me a free pass on the Turing Test, or the equivalent for "dogs on the internet". Thanks, I guess, but I don't see what problems that solves, and anyway it's still about the nature of a sensed entity rather than the existence of an unsensed one.

Medicine is messy. Even when we treat a heart attack, generally a person is not fully recovered. We should work on different approaches, but by far the one with the nearest timeframe and the most impact are those that lessen toxins attacking the body (e.g., tobacco), obesity (too much sugar sweetened beverages), use of sunscreens to prevent melanomas, etc.

Maybe just start with "history of worker rights." Or maybe just the wikipedia labor movement article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_movement It's not all strictly about changes forced through unions vs other types of activists, but once unions were made legal they were one of the strongest methods for demanding and enforcing these for large numbers of workers in the days before they were turned into laws.

I've got a Lenovo Y50 running Win10. With a HiDPI display, it is pretty much unusable. While OS elements scale rather well, most of the software doesn't, even using the "DPI fix." [1] There are also ads on lock screen. [2] The "terminal", PowerShell, is slow to launch, path completions are crawling.

The subsystem for linux is great, and certainly a move in the right direction. There's ConEmu with Bash, which is also usable. Admittedly, if it weren't for aforementioned DPI issues, which have been around for far too long, I'd probably use Windows as my primary OS.

Also have to mention that VS Code is a fantastic editor with an MIT license. So definitely there are strides in a good direction. Compared to e.g. Facebook's "open source" offerings, while great products, yet containing a `PATENT` file in every repo

if you model what correctly?
What I'm saying is that there's a difference between credible and good. It's entirely possible to believe CNN will deliver facts credibly but their editorializing will be crap. A source is credible when you can trust that the facts they are presenting are checked and correct, and their opinions are at least plausible. That's doesn't seem like a high standard, but unfortunately some sources are having a hard time meeting it. It's just not the major ones having that problem, as has been insinuated. I've debunked more than a few alt-right news blogs stories in the last few months, and the difference is stark. Opinions in one blog reported as fact in another. Completely reading numbers in a spreadsheet wrong when presenting a summary and assessment (that or it was purposefully misrepresented). Basic facts completely wrong.

It's fine to point out that CNN is crap, and their editorializing sucks. But let's not go so far as to say they aren't credible without real evidence, because that puts them on same field as some of these other "news" sites, and there's still a world of difference between them.

> Comparing CNN to the New York Times or Washington Post is ridiculous.

I didn't do that. Perhaps you are mixing up a different thread with this one?

> Giving credence to whether or not a black hole was the cause of MH370 disappearing

I don't think that's what they were doing. They used a rhetoric of acceptance to bring up the subject so it could be addressed. If people are bring up crap theories online, addressing them quickly and definitively in the negative is just what I think they should have done. Sure, she overreached on the black-hole thing, but I think the segment served a purpose. It just wasn't aimed at you or me.

Indeed they don't, but then neither does preferential treatment due to cuteness, which I routinely observe. How society has become so fond of denying objective reality is very strange, especially when it doesn't seem to achieve much.
I think you may be insufficiently fearful of the current and future economy. Or maybe I'm just too fearful. But I grew up rather poor, and while I thankfully learned to shed most of the proletarian work ethic that keeps poor and working-class people in economic shackles (that is, the political mindset, perceptions of character, and in particular the kinds of labor considered meaningful), I still believe that the prudent economic life demands a constant hustle.

My financial advisor says the average cost of a 4-year private education will be well over $350,000 in less than 20 years. (It'll be that in just a couple years for the elite private schools, including non-Ivy League elites where most students don't get much aid.) Now, I don't plan on paying for my son to attend a private university if we can help it (public undergrad is fine by me), even though we might be able to swing it without too much damage, but that number serves to really drive home the cost of keeping your family securely middle-class.

Also, yes, middle management is always an escape. OTOH, middle managers are always the first to get the axe during layoffs. I probably misinterpreted the original question, but moving to middle management is not something I aspire to. I respect it, but I'm not a people person and I don't like managing people. I've been fortunate that the few people I have managed I was able to hire myself, people who I felt were much more self-motivated and self-directed than the average engineer.

If I can't continue hacking for an income, I'll probably return to the law.

I left it unsaid, but IMHO ageism is rife in the software industry. There'a ageism in almost every industry (including the law, it's just reversed ;) but IME it's comparatively greater in the software industry. Many people won't bother even denying it, and aren't afraid to excuse it.

I saw ageism even when I was in my early-20s, working with an original Amiga veteran (a bone fide historical figure in the Silicon Valley) whom other young engineers would constantly deride, arguing he was too "behind the times" and just "didn't get it". It was all bollocks of course, and I understood that. (Though I never completely understood why he chose to stay in the trenches, and continues to do so AFAIK, despite the fact he could probably join a VC firm.) Now that I'm older and approaching grey beard status (an age which decreases every year), I won't let myself forget the mentality among the junior engineers, as well as the bean counters, recruiters, and other managers who not only tolerated it, but enabled it.

In light of the ageism, if you want to continue hacking, and you want to minimize your risk of income volatility later in your career, you have to constantly dedicate yourself to improving the depth and breadth of your knowledge. That's a good idea in any industry, but especially in software. And that's why I don't see coasting as a viable option.

But people's situations and preferences vary, of course. Coasting can make more or less sense, depending on context.
OpenAI doesn't attempt to solve problems that even remotely resemble what you are describing. Hardly anyone claims to be working on AGI because AGI isn't a well defined problem. Its something cranks and the media tout because its excellent clickbait, along the lines of the singularity.

All the efforts of ML solve problems with a concrete input space and a concrete output space. This means they solve very discrete problems and are not generalizable, unless they have similar looking model inputs and the model has the same limited range of "moves" it can make.
Great case to play devil's advocate no?

If they were creating "art" in form of porn they had copyright to said work. No law broken here.

No law broken if you upload your own work to the cloud. You have right to do it.

Finally, no law broken if you try to pursue those who illegally download your copyrighted work.

I guess if you combine all of those together then you doing something wrong. But isn't it ironic that the GOV is allowed to run illegal sting operations even if they lose big time like in Fast and Furious and that's fine, but if few lawyers figure out the way to make extra money, then we need to indict them.

If anything -- were they actually a fish who happen to clean the ocean? I mean it comes to be as simple as this: do not download illegal porn. Period. I can bet after being charged by those lawyers many settled and never downloaded porn again.

There - finished playing devils advocate.
He's an ex-mil, current-genious computer scientist. Working for google would restrict him to google work.

Working as a contractor, with a military background and a well documented solid computer science background (not traditional of course but still rock solid), he can pretty much right his own tickets in any R&D field. I can't think of a better person to contract out too: worked intel, speaks Korean (Southern dialect I presume), and proably has held a clearance because of his MOS.

He could work on anything that goes kaboom, vroom, flys, or pushes the boundries of human understanding (maybe even a combination of the three!).

Hell, you could even just do "boring" old software development on contract and make sure the infrastructure behind the world doesn't fall apart (That's what contracting programmers do). If you can branch into embeded development you could work on medial, networking, sensor, mining, and aerospace gear.

I understand the appeal of Google, but I'd probably say that if you're the type who likes to self study, who is so motivated that you will devote 8 months of your life to getting something right, who will pour over a book for days on end until you've soaked up every bit of knowladge, and you're someone who can take all of that and put it into solving problems then I don't think your talent will be adaquatly used at Google. Google isn't that special unless you're going to Google to say "I work at Google!"

Working for yourself, on your own timeframe, doing what this person obviously enjoys (learning and applying that learnt knowladge), all while being paid exorbitant amounts of money to build or help build things that push the boundries of human knowladge and possibilites sounds more fufilling then fixing support ticket #449,823,335,465 for Module #32,388,556 in Chrome/Search/AdSense/Cloud software.

But I don't know, that could just be me.
I worked at Google. This makes me sad. Sad to see people are treating a for profit company like a religion. Google is a good workplace compared to other companies but it's not a religion and it's not perfect. As other commenters said it's not the thing it was before either.

I left Google to work on something more interesting and I can't be happier. If we're going to hire people, I'm not putting any weight on their work background.

It's practical for designers, which is what these resources were designed for.
I thought I was busy with ~10.
In the world of programming, repercussions of what you do take longer than a year to full play out. Let's say you join a company, get up to speed quickly (let's say 3 months), and you get on your first product, start working on it, and after 6 months you release a beta. And 3 months after that, you launch. And then you are done, and you move on to the next company.

You don't see the results of that year that you were there. You don't see the results of of long term maintenance. What worked, what didn't, where you wasted time, what was used, etc.

Even the tools you used, you only used that to get it into production at some level, but you don't fully understand the full long-term impact.

So when someone looks at that, they don't see production level experience. They see that you've done the first years worth of work 10 times, and that you don't have experience with the results. That your experience doesn't mean you can build something that works in the long term. That you can even be counted on to work on something in the long term.

That's just one of the ways it can be looked at.

China doesn't mind the US having relations, even friendship, with Taiwan - through private channels. Public recognition of the Taiwanese government as a sovereign entity by the US is insulting though - much as if Premier Xi in China started having friendly chats with the governor of Hawai'i or Alaska while publicly pouring scorn on DC.

Except that is not analogous at all.

Taiwan is de facto Independent. It has its own currency, internationally recognised passports, military, airspace and democratically elects its own representatives. It has been de facto independent from China for almost 70 years. It never fell to maoism and as a result was spared the both the great famine (Which killed more people than the Chinese civil war and Japanese invasion combined) and the cultural revolution. It peacefully transitioned to democracy over 20 years ago, around the time Chinese troops were killing hundreds of civillians in Tian Nan Men square.

It is independent for all intents and purposes. Even PRC nationalists know this, but they need to keep face by not admitting the truth.
Thanks! Yes, I expect we will be moving in that direction before too long. It will work well with log tags which are already key-values. Plus most of our messages make it into traces and OpenTracing is switching to a KV interface as well.
I will never, ever defend anything like that in the workplace, but some people consider teasing and joking to relationship building.

Depends on how much you enjoy learning, I suppose. I love learning new things. I'm not stingy on things I love. I don't doubt it's going to get harder to learn after retirement, but that's still more than 20 years away for me.
This is true with a lot of things that people have strong feelings and beliefs associated with, and -isms are good examples of it.

For plenty of people, the moment they see 'sexism', 'racism', etc it's over. They are either rooting for you, or mentally preparing arguments against your case, and things you say/write becomes largely irrelevant.
That's one possible explanation, but the fact that she identifies people (roles) suggests not.

Hang on, let's make sure we're talking about the same thing here. There's evidence that Republicans met before Obama took office and agreed to stonewall as many of his proposals as possible, so that they could point to his failure to enact change as an example of how he didn't get anything done.
