> The audio "loss" example sounds plausible in passing

Not really. Sure, your debunking is sound, but we really don't need to appeal to Nyquist for this one. Just consider the alternatives; analog media? It begins rotting the moment it's recorded. Some abstract representation? Fine, until you forget how to interpret it. Digitizing is the most robust means we've yet invented to forestall "forgetting;" a technique that enables precise and efficient replication of audio on myriad forms of media now and in the future.

The Unicode case is also naive. Every language suffers change as new speakers/writers and new representations appear; that isn't a feature specific to programming or computing at all. On the other hand, thousands of symbols from hundreds of obscure languages are being permanently preserved for posterity in Unicode; how is this "forgetting?"

>See file management and hardware sections and it should be obvious. In hardware section he buys razer keyboard case just to be able to use iPad more comfortably.

So? The idea behind using the iPad as your main computer is not "touch interaction for everything" but "I like the computing model" (self-contained apps that don't interact through a filesystem, no administration, etc).

Obviously you can (and should) still use a keyboard for writing longer texts, a stylus for drawing, etc.

haha you're quite behind my friend, nowadays it's all about "Yarn", even npm is outdated. I'm starting to see more and more open source projects using yarn instead of npm.

Cynicism aside, I am with you on this, it's becoming too damn annoying to build anything simple. No matter what people used to say I used to like Javascript because of its simplicity. Now it's become the next Java, I'm sure that's part good thing but also part bad, and some new, much simpler language will come along sooner or later to replace what a lot of people are using JS for.

The reason you need to use browserify and its friends nowadays is people started shoving in too much code to frontend, and all the logic is on the frontend nowadays. Basically you need to do an equivalent of backend programming on the frontend side and it's become too complex not to use dependency manager.

Like I said I fucking hate this movement too and I think something much simpler will come along to replace much of what people use JS for, especially for simple cases.

Also I think this change will happen once the pendulum swings and things move back to backend again (this pendulum swinging happens ALWAYS with technology so I'm sure it will happen someday in unforseeable future)

> For the vast majority of people, if they don't have to work in order to earn, most people will choose not to work. So then who supports these folks?

Those people are already being supported with fantastically expensive bureaucratic benefit systems. Sometimes those systems also act as a disincentive to return to work, trapping people on benefits, by making it impossible for them to get education or work experience or part time work.

Once you have these massive bureaucracies they sustain themselves by land-grabbing more work.

Here's one example from the UK. A man claiming benefits gets temporary work on a zero hour contract. He needs to sign off benefits, so he calls (because that how you do things now) the helpline.

"Is this position going to last longer than 5 weeks?"

He has no idea. But they will only take a yes or no answer.

He is unable to convey that he has no idea whether the job will last for more than 5 weeks or not.

For people who don't know the system it's tempting to just say "it doesn't matter, just take her suggestion and move on to the next question", but sadly the penalty for getting a question wrong (even if you've used their suggested answer) is that you have your benefits suspended or sanctioned.

Well but now scala (what I knew and just kept running with) is getting native compiler, eventually iOS support, academic underlying calculus for the language, all kinds of good stuff.

I have a lot of respect for Lattner, obviously, but Swift has spent a LOT of goodwill that people were willing to spare it. Unless IBM pulls a really good thing out of their hat, I fear that swift might be in a perl6 position where they finally made a language worth a shit, but ran out of gas as they reached top speed.

I guess time will tell. I WANT swift to be awesome, but in order to make it a rational choice, I NEED swift to be stable, common, and approachable for new employees. (something scala can struggle with for some programmers)

It's really gonna bum me out when swift4 gets announced this spring (/s) and completely ruins everything, and then swift5 would of course be announced around the time swift4 becomes even remotely stable.

It's just been a disaster so far.
This looks like a really cool course.

In case anybody is interested in learning how to build a Twitter clone in Nim then consider taking a look at my book[1]. It's not free but it is a good way to learn Nim and web development concepts in a systems programming language.

From Lattner:

"While our community has generally been very kind and understanding about Swift evolving under their feet, we cannot keep doing this for long. While I don’t think we’ll want to guarantee 100% source compatibility from Swift 3 to Swift 4, I’m hopefully that it will be much simpler than the upgrade to Swift 2 was or Swift 3 will be."

https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/Week-of-Mo...

Swift 4 won't have anything like Swift 3's Cocoa renaming. It'll be minor language changes.

ABI stability and source compatibility should start with Swift 4.
>Chromebooks are very successful, outselling MacOS desktops in 2016.

That's still products from multiple vendors (Dell, HP, and Lenovo, Asus?, etc) narrowingly beating sales from a single vendor.

And that (a) in a year when the single vendor had stalled updating their product line, and (b) with the Chromebooks being much cheaper, and more mass market, offerings.

So this speaks more to the slow sales of Chromebooks during the previous years than some major breakthrough.

It does not: timezone (TZ) definitions are politicial, inaccurate, and stupid and non versioned.

The problem with TZ is TZ in its core definition.

1) they always change: if you have not updated your TZ since 3 months they are probably inaccurate

2) your TZ definition maybe accurate but they may not have been applied for real in the concerned zone

3) you can have different local time for the same longitude

4) you can have different days on the same longitude ...

5) TZ are not versioned, if the TZ changed between 2 records you may have made, you have inaccurate intervals stored. We do NOT have an API to take TZ change over time in consideration.

6) CEST/DST is breaking the axiom that time is a growing monotonic function

I am a developer without a programming degree, and I am lacking terminology. I often see the solution to a problem, but I don't know what pattern it falls into and the proper name for it. That makes it harder to find libraries or literature which again results in me reinventing the wheel in a poor way.
If I had more savvy co-workers it would probably have helped, but we are all in the same boat.

Over a few years, yes, they do, with some "top shampoo brands" being $20-$30 or more, and people buy one every month or so. Heck, some people spend more than $1000 on shampoo and other products per year.

In contrast, people don't replace $1000 hi-fi cables for decades.

Though of course the point of the metaphor was the pointlessness and "unscientific" cult nature of both purchases, not that the total amount spend is the same.
I'm from Poland, where recently the government introduced a "500+" program, which means that every family in the country receives 500PLN per month, per child, from the day they are born to the time when they are 18 year old.

Now, my parents run a company which mostly has physical workers - and for a physical worker, in the "poorer" part of the country, 1500PLN/per month(after taxes) is an ok salary.

The day the 500+ program started, several employees left, literally saying that they have 3-4 children, so by just getting the money from the government they will be better off than working and they don't need a job anymore. They are all jobless and living off 500+ as far as I know.

I would say that's a pretty good indication what will happen with UBI - I'm sure there's loads of people who wouldn't leave their jobs because they like having more money(me included) but for a lot of people if free money is enough to get by then that's what they are going to live on.
> UNIX is found in many devices end users don't think of as being "computers" at all.

No, NIT doesn't require people to work unless you make that a specific requirement.

For example, if you have a negative tax of 25% on income below $40k, unemployed people on $0 income will receive a $10k tax credit. This is equivalent to $10k Basic Income with a 25% tax bracket up to $40k earned income, since in both cases people earning $0 get $10k and people earning $40k get $40k.

You could make it a requirement to work, but then people could just get trivial jobs for $1 just to get the tax credit.
That's a pretty apt analogy, really. If you just want to be a line cook at a no name franchise, then by all means, blindly follow recipes. If you want to understand what you're actually doing and have the ability to create new stuff without using a cookie-cutter template, yeah, you're going to need to go deeper.

As a uni student, I had some degree of disdain about being taught from first principles when I really just wanted to build games and apps, but the further I get in my career, the more I appreciate this groundwork. Recipes and frameworks come and go. Theory and first principles are timeless.
Well that's been my daydream for 40+ years. I have a blessed life but... I'm feeling some serious envy. Mad props to this team.

You treat database roles as user groups (admin/employee) and based on that define table(view) level access.
Then whenever a request is made, your api code switches to the appropriate role and sends to the database the specific user id (CUGs for example).
Then you use views/RLS to filter access to specific rows.

Arrow and pendulum (my current favorite) have a very decent API. The later one is especially well tested for the numerous corner cases of date handling, which I doubt Kenneth got right on first try.

The phrase "Toward a new..." is very nearly a sure sign of relativism at work. I don't know why so many quacks pick it. I guess they think they're revolutionizing the world.

This article pushes for an ethics and feelings based redistribution of programming effort. That's bad. Because resources remain finite, we won't lose less data, we can only shuffle around what we lose. What we need to make this decision, is not feelings or vague ethical codes. We need hard data, especially in an age of big data and machine learning where the detailed pieces involved in making a deep statistical analysis may well be out of the realm of human comprehension.

For example, this article targets the evil gender binary. If only we would think more carefully about our choices. Meanwhile, clinics are scratching their heads trying to figure out how to map rates of ovarian cancer to "demisexuals", or how a local rise in "non-binary asexuals" might affect rates of testicular cancer, and what should be done about funding for screenings.

We lose data because we come from an era where space was limited, and cycles were counted. Sure we made some dumb mistakes like 2 digit years, but 2 digit years still work in a broad array of cases so we still use them all over the place today. They are sometimes good to use, sometimes bad, sometimes they're superfluous and unused anyway.

By all means rethink what fields should be compressed or expanded based upon business needs. But do it based on data and business use cases, not on feelings and someone's personal bias- even if that person promises their ethics are better than the old ones.
I tried Yarn a few months ago, wasted half an hour because of some silly issues, though I think there was a problem with NPM on that day. I threw it away after that.

At least Java has Kotlin, it's made Java pleasant for me again.

I get the logic of the browserify movement, after all we've been punting Node.js as the grail of shared code. The irritating thing is that a lot of what's out there is opinionated, you read 3 tutorials/guides and everyone does something differently. I follow nodejs/node on Github, and the amount of comments over the past year or 2 for and against modules is what kept me standing on the fence for very long.

I struggled just to get Mongoose working properly with TS a few weeks ago, the thought of having to waste a few days converting everything to a Class before I can export my functions properly turned me off. Now I just ignore the TS warnings because I know my code works.

>Damn it, Jobs could not get Next off the ground when it was basically BSD with a pretty face. He needed the brand name recognition of Apple to effectively bring a revamped Next to the world (OSX).

Alow me to partially disagree, you are jumping over an important passage, System 6/7/8 on the Mac were there in those years.
In - say - 1993 System 7 ran circles around DOS and Windows 3.1/3.11, even if a part of that was due to comparatively more powerful (and very costly) hardware, it was definitely ahead:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_7

If you bought a computer and OS in pre-Windows NT era, you could choose between DOS+Windows 3.1 and System 7, but the Mac hardware costed something like double the PC.

A LC500 was something around US$ 2000:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_LC_500_series

A Powerbook 160 double that:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerBook_160

At the time a comparable PC or laptop was half of that.

BeOS came out when Windows 95 was all the rage and MacOS started to become outdated, circa 1995/1996, it ran on "normal" hardware and offered much better performance than Windows, but home users were happy with Windows 95 and businesses had NT 4.00 in the meantime, that - love it or hate it - was rock solid.
The App Store reviews are appalling though. How can people be so incredibly entitled I couldn't possibly understand.

I recently attended a talk by Dr. Rhonda Patrick on the biohacker summit in Finland. It was extremely interesting.

Another finding that I remember about physical activity being accounted for is the fact that sauna itself contributes to heart fitness, since cardiac activity is increased during sauna. So effectively reducing prevalence of heart problems in people with no pre conditions.

I live in Finland, and I also need to point out that sauna is almost an holistic thing, contributing greatly both to you mental and physical well being.

"Unix kernel is hugely popular: think of the millions of Android devices."

You probably meant Linux, not Unix. Unix is an entire class of operating systems, not a kernel.
Nitpicking aside, the huge problem here is that popularity means nothing if the user is not aware of what he/she is using, so I would rephrase that as "the Linux kernel is hugely widespread ...".
There is still a big problem though: Android is mostly closed, at least all vital device drivers are, so that you have no chances to build a working non Android environment on newer devices or patch old ones, move an installation from a device to a different one etc. Having a Linux kernel does not help in this context since all benefits the FOSS community infused into the system were stripped away.
I would dare to say that telling people that Android contains a Linux kernel is even dangerous to the Linux image.
