This is better than the last online disassembler that I tried.

One benefit over the free IDA: Support for a ton of architectures.

Oddly, it detected the format of a DOS binary that I fed it, but decided that it couldn't find the code entry point (which is encoded trivially in the header of the binary format).

I also gave it a PocketPC ARM binary. It identified a lot of functions, but didn't say which one was the code entry point (at least, not that I saw). I also don't think it identified any of the Win CE system calls.
There is a fantastic talk by Fred Herbert (of Heroku and Learn You Some Erlang fame) that discusses this exact situation in the Erlang community [0]. Without an accessible ecosystem, useful tooling, a powerful packaging system, or a community sensitive to newcomers what do you have? Erlang is an amazing platform with a community full of very experienced and wisened developers–but elixir widened the appeal.

That's what initially attracted me to Elixir instead of Erlang, though the tooling has definitely improved in Erlang with the introduction of rebar3. The integration of testing and documentation (i.e. doctests) is still better than any other language I've worked with. The documentation generator (ex_doc) is excellent too.

Doesn't this assume that wages are determined by society desire to pay men rather than men desire to get paid?

So long dating success has a extremely strong correlation to pay grade for men, how will the incentive to seek higher pay grade going to go down? By changing culture to have men do a bigger role in raising kids, I don't see how we can predict any change in the aspects women has that correlates with success in dating. We would need the gender specific incentives for higher wages to change in order to achieve that.
In principle I agree with you (see my other comment), but would also suggest that what you're doing requires a bit more communication.

For example, making sure all of your managers are totally bought in. If you were dinged as unresponsive, probably at least one person wasn't fully bought in or clear on the terms, right?

Same with your team, they should be able to see clearly on your calendar what times are blocked out. And there should be a note taped near your desk. And maybe an auto responder during off hours explaining how you can best help them.

Did I mention that even after syncing with managers on this, you'll probably have to periodically refresh their memory for as long as you work there?

Nothing at all wrong with what you're doing, but setting expectations is so important and requires diligence.

I think it's great giving their subscribers a voice, however I don't agree that it's good to only be open to paying members. It's better to have something like subscriber accounts with unlimited comments and regular user accounts with limited number of comments.

As an old binary file hacker I can't help but to think that the performance would also be improved by using a different format than Json that doesn't require 75,000 lines to be parsed on load.

One drawback of formats like Json and XML is that they require reaching the ending tag ( "}" or "]" usually for Json and </root> for XML ) before the file can be considered parsed. A properly designed binary format can be used like a database of sorts with very efficient reads.

Gorm. Give it a try. Light on magic. Can write by hand easily still. If you arent writing really complex queries and are just shuffling records around Gorm makes life a joy.

If I remeber correctly, tit-for-tat in the game theory is referring to a proportional response to an uncooperative action.

For example, you take an action is 10% unfavorable to me. In response, I take an action that is 10% unfavorable to you. So next turn you take the most favorable action for you+me, and so I take the most favorable action for me+you. I guess a proportional response signals wanting a mutually beneficial, rational approach.

you should almost naturally wind up with a diverse workplace

That's a factual claim which implies that different groups of people are uniform in their preferences and thus you'd find equal representation of people across all fields. A lot of people find this to be an absurd proposition with a mountain of evidence to contradict it.

If cultural and workplace issues were the explanation for disproportionate representation in different workplaces then we would expect to see the countries which implement the most solutions to those issues have the most equal representations. In fact, what we see is the opposite. The Scandinavian countries have the best policies (generous child care, long parental leave, extensive anti-harassment and anti-discrimination training, board quotas) and yet they have even more gender self-segregation by occupation than other developed countries [0].

"Recommended" and "Trending" are pretty much useless for me. The "Up next" thing works well for episodic videos, but otherwise, meh.

Finding relevant stuff is actually really hard. The best way to find new stuff is when a channel recommends another. And that does scale, but isn't immediate. So I see the point of algorithms, but don't rely on them or force them on me.
Just to be clear, "Yubikey" is a brand of FIDO key. See:
https://fidoalliance.org. You can find other brands which in my experience, are just as functional but often less expensive. I have a yubikey, one from hyperfido and most interesting is the open source 'U2F zero'. All of them work equally well. Unless MS has a non-standard implementation or does not use FIDO, then any FIDO would work.
Can you show me those maps showing dozens of cities with 1 million plus population prior to 1800? Wikipedia's list of largest cities throughout history [1] is pretty well-sourced and while there are a handful of 1 million+ (Rome, Baghdad, Istanbul, Beijing, Ayutthaya) before the Industrial Revolution, they reach that population asynchronously and don't number in the dozens, even by the most optimistic estimates.

Based on what I've read, most of North America was indeed relatively sparsely populated relative to, say, early modern Japan or China, but Mesoamerica and the Andes were comparable to early modern Europe in terms of population density and urbanization. For example, by the time of first contact with Cortes in 1519, Tenochtitlan had a population of 200k to 300k, which was roughly three times larger than the estimated population of London at the same time, as well as bigger than any city in Spain or any of the other Hapsburg lands (which is something that the Spanish themselves noted).

Charles Mann's 1491 is a really good read on this general topic by the way, for anyone interested in reading more.

And i completely agree with your last point. The reason we've been exploring web-components was because we had developed a component library based on Angular 1, and had a really painful time making it upgradable to Angular 2, and realized in the process that it was a mistake to write component library closely coupled to any framework. While i am really excited about web-components, but their current state disappoints me.

It's kind of weird, pretty much same companies are the standards committee, browser makers and framework writers... probably thats why we have multiple ways to write web-component like things using propriety technologies, but not much progress still in writing web-components natively based on the specs.

If an AI has gone rogue it probably has already achieved high intelligence and kept improving itself at a exponential rate. For it to go 'rogue' it probably also has to have escaped an airgap, since you could otherwise just turn off the switch. How would you stop an AI that has burrowed itself on the internet? Remember, if its even moderately intelligent it'd hide its rogue intentions at first, until its 100% certain it has 'escaped'. From the internet it could write some nice malware, set up shop on the deep web, in badly secured IoT devices, with some bad luck even embedded controllers (chargers etc.). And even if you got rid of it by some miracle, all it would take is one bozo connecting an old/forgotten device to the internet and you're back to square one.

In this case you're probably right but in general, latency can make a big impact on profit and revenue.

For example Marissa Mayer claimed (though this was in 2006) that a 500ms delay directly caused a 20% drop in traffic and revenue: https://glinden.blogspot.com/2006/11/marissa-mayer-at-web-20...

Optimizely found that for The Telegraph, adding a 4s delay led to a 10% drop in pageviews: https://blog.optimizely.com/2016/07/13/how-does-page-load-ti...

100ms cost Amazon 1% of sales: http://blog.gigaspaces.com/amazon-found-every-100ms-of-laten...

Akamai has a number of claims: https://www.akamai.com/us/en/about/news/press/2009-press/aka...

Of course the impact of latency is going to depend on your particular circumstances but there are certainly circumstances where it can make a big impact.

> It is a very real thing, as every Indian knows and hears and sees

How do you know it to be a problem? Governments love to overstate the seriousness of things for political leverage. Many people make incorrect conclusions from what they hear and see in pop culture.

> Hey, it even plays a part in Indian movies

If this is what you mean by "know and hear and see", then I think you need more evidence. Movie production culture (from Hollywood to Bollywood) loves to latch onto political and criminal tropes regardless of how true they are. For example, there are a number of laws passed by US congress and state governments that can be directly traced back to exaggerations in Hollywood movies. The banning of Switchblade knives can be traced back to Hollywood incorrectly depicting them as a popular tool for mafia activity. The banning of gun suppressors can be directly traced back to exaggerated Hollywood depictions of their effectiveness. Basically, you shouldn't trust everything you see in movies. "Black money" is a great narrative vehicle that is stuck in the Indian pop culture memeome, so it makes sense that Indian movies reference it.

I'm not going to find it now, but I was blown away when he says that interest rates on loans should be capped to prevent lenders destroying wealth by making loans to those most likely to default (which would justify high rates of interest).

The "using only the Go Standard Library" was added to the title when it was posted to HN. The post builds an example app with the stdlib, but I don't see advocacy against using other code in it. I think python.org leaves writing a Django introduction to the Django people; this seems like that.

The Go community does have a tendency to avoid building or looking for all-inclusive frameworks, but, e.g., gokit.io, gorillatoolkit.org, and various third-party database tools (sqlx, gorm) are still popular.

That's not because of anything Dell did.
