"Early Fortran (designated in allcaps as FORTRAN)" that would be because it is an acronym "FORmula TRANslator".

Fortran continues to do that well. And as the article mentions scipy doesn't run as fast.

The logical successor to Fortran was APL (Arithmetic Programming Language) but its notation really killed it.

The properties that keep Fortran rolling (easy to start using, effective in translating formulas into computation) persist.

>So it builds its own migration script based on the schema of the target database, and it won't allow any operations that cause data loss by default. This is super handy in a team environment because you don't need to worry about writing migrations by hand, you just define the schema "as it should be" and no matter what version of the database your team members had on their machine it will get caught up

This only works if you're inside their rails. If you do have a change that requires a migration of data and risks data loss, you're then in the realm of creating pre and post-deploy scripts, and you're back on the migration train.

I've been playing around with a tool called sqitch ( http://sqitch.org/ ), but I'm not familiar with it enough to have an opinion on it yet.
As far as I know--no. Medical Doctors can diagnogose a disability, but it's always challenged by a SSI/SSDI Doctor.

It's not a well oiled machine. I have known two people on dissability, and was shocked at what they went through.

One had a pretty bad case of cerebral palsy, and she was told by a dissability doctor she could lose weight, and "do something?" This girl was fired from all her menial jobs. She did try though. She eventually got dissability, after her mother died.

Another was a nice guy, but no one in their right mind would hire him. He was just too excentric. The psychiatrist who reevaluated him said, "You got me on a good day, but don't come back to this hospital for anything related to mental illness/dissability." The doctor inferred he would be black balled by the other doctors. (What gives being in a good mood matter?)
But even then, long haul truckers only make up about half of the truck driving sector, so not only will the other half still be necessary as always, there will be additional need for short-haul drivers to handle the loads coming in off interstate routes that they were previously handled by the long-haul driver end-to-end. Additionally, the industry has been quite vocal about wanting to have more trucks on long-haul trips, but cannot afford the talent. If those costs come down, there will be even more trucks on the road, needing even more short-haul truckers.

So, while the may be some decline in the job numbers for that industry, it doesn't seem that impactful.

I always found those 2+1 roads stressful, as it required unpleasant delays behind very slow vehicles and puts a limit on how many cars can overtake before the other side gets the middle lane.

Is this the price for saving lives, or do I misunderstand anything? Does the 2+1 road replace 1+1 roads (which is probably a lot more dangerous)?

I was born at the tail end of the baby boom. Maybe it's a regional thing, or a bias due to hanging out with people from mostly one political side of the aisle. But I don't know anybody who thinks that young people have it easy compared to our generation.

I have plenty of friends who have experienced the "new normal" of their kids graduating from college and then coming back home because they can't find jobs right away. These people are also fully aware of the issues facing the working class right now.

And I've personally noticed that the young people coming into the workforce are bright, enthusiastic, and hard working -- quite the opposite of the "entitlement generation" meme.

The compassion definitely is out there.
I'm ignorant about FORTRAN, have there been attempts to modernize it? Maybe something like coffeescript/typescript?

As a Dutchman living in Stockholm I can tell you one thing: they should fix their goddamn bike lanes. Sure, they have them, which makes them better than 90% of the rest of the world. They're still shit. There's no separation of car- and bike traffic. To turn left a cyclist first has to cross parallel car traffic, making this unsafer for cyclists (and annoying for the people in cars, for that matter). Key issues:

- the cyclist and driver should meet at a (near) 90 degree angle, so neither requires eyes in the back of their head

- separate the goddamn lanes so neither car nor cyclist feels uncomfortably close to the other

- don't require extra space because every square meter counts in a big city

Well guess what, we've figured this out decades ago in the Netherlands:

"That's a very Western attitude"

Yeah. Sure. Turkey can make airplanes. Great.

They still need help with a lot of things. Can you name any Turkish companies that build packet sniffing hardware? That design special ASICS for this? Content filtering solutions? Specialized networking gear? Maybe, but probably not.

The vast majority of countries that have 'controlled internet' scenarios cannot do it themselves, or rather, it would be very difficult to do.

In fact - which countries could do it alone ...

Russia, China, surely. India. Turkey ... probably not.

Saudi, Morocco, Jordan, Egypt, Indo, basically every country in M/E and Africa, pretty much all of South America (maybe Brazil?), probably not Pakistan, not North Korea.

Forget 'Western' - there are just a few countries that could do it alone, depending on the degree of sophistication of control. Basically West/North Europe, USA/Can, Japan, S. Korea, Russia, China, India ... Singapore even is probably too small. It's not a long list.
It's also illegal to steal phones. The proximate cause of the surveillance was itself a criminal act, thus it would be rather hard to prosecute. If I have my phone set to record and someone steals my phone and thus they are recorded, the thief himself is the one that 'caused' himself to be surveilled.

Social Text was not a major journal, and in fact didn't even review submissions. What could or couldn't get published in it is of very little significance.

Right now 100% of the comments in here are about "predicting" the election, when the word "predict" isn't even used in the article. Probably an over-eager editor who changed the title.

The article itself is about a very interesting network analysis of establishment vs non-establishment behavior. I'd like to see more discussion about the content of the article.

It depends how truly important the security is for someone.

Literacy started in the similar way, and it's not easy for everyone to learn to read and write (functional illiteracy rarely goes below 10% or so.)

I'll make a wild guess that 15-20% of the general population can learn in few months to tweak working code into working code. There goes surveillance.

Again, nothing prevents one to run this on the top of the 'proven' security stacks. CPU is cheap.
Be careful comparing the "Registered Users" metric on the page between sites. In some cases they're using total number of registered accounts on the forum, and in others they're using metrics that involve recent activity, like a "Monthly Active" metric.

Also, don't trust the numbers, even if they're cited. The current value for Twitter (500 million) is cited as being from an article in 2011 that mentioned 200 million. The Twitter company page - https://about.twitter.com/company - says the current official monthly actives is 313 million.

In New Zealand they have a nasty habit of painting a bit of the road green, then painting a bit of the footpath green. So the "cycle lane" effectively veers on and off the road, or over busy driveways where no car is looking for cyclists on what to them is the footpath. It's extremely dangerous to follow the cycle lanes our government conjures up. I imagine they have some quota to meet like "X metres of cycle lane".

The point of my comment was to reply to this part of the parent comment: "but in terms of the revenue raised per square foot it's one of the least profitable uses of real estate around". At $60/day earned by the city for a 172 sq ft parking space, that translates to about $10.50 per sq ft per month, rivaling most office buildings.
Can you illegally wiretap your own device?

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me yes. The thief's right to privacy is being invaded. It's not because he broke the law that he suddenly no longer has any rights. Just like you can't shoot somebody just because he broke into your house (in Europe; I'm aware of the castle doctrine).

Also, you don't get to mete out the punishment if you're wronged, that's the role of the judiciary.

> "was born in 1981, and as a young computer enthusiast I quickly became aware of my unfortunate place in the history of computing. I thought I was born in the wrong time. I would think to myself I was born long after the glory days of hacking and the computer revolution."

This passage is intended to cast the 1980 as an 'oppressive' era full of 'sin' that we should feel guilty about and strive to repent for at the alter of 'equality' that we can have in the new age of 'justice' if only we fallow the new commandments.

Where have I heard that before?

The appeal to 1950's and 60's computer culture is very much like the appeal to 'old time religion' employed by preachers to herd there flock.

> now enslaved into paying for obamacare and SS for older people. Seems fair. My girfriend who makes a less than 3k/month pays $700 for obamacare and ~$500 for student debt

A private insurance company is charging $700/month for her plan, not the federal (or state) government. The money goes to the company, not the government, but yes, young, relatively healthy people paying for insurance are basically subsidizing the health care for older, less healthy people with insurance from the same company. That's how all insurance works.

I would think $3k/month would be low enough income to qualify for federal subsidies. I have employer-provided healthcare so I don't know too many of the details.

The ACA has slowed how quickly health costs increase but they do still increase every year and are "spiky" (some costs for some people can go up by a lot). Sounds like you're in favor of the more lefty, socialist solution of single-payer health care, like all the other developed nations. Me too.
You didn't read the article apparently. Fortran (which officially dropped all caps in the standard in 1990) has had new versions every couple years, up to 2013. Each revision of the language brings modern features into it, and old features go through a process of deprecation and then obsolescence. Most people seem to be unaware that it is an evolving language that has changed significantly since the standard most people are familiar with from 1977. I am a bit biased though: I work on a Fortran compiler, so I've had reason to stay on top of the standards as they come out.
If by that you mean IPv4, then yes.

> How is this minimalist by any definition? None of those things need an app and work perfectly fine without one.

- Without the pressure cooker app, I can't use half of the functions.

- Without the time sheets app, I need to use the website which is unusable on mobile.

- Without the messaging apps, there are people I can't easily communicate with.

These were just few examples, but I use a lot more apps. With everything now becoming "smart", we'll soon need a lot more apps (roughly 1 app per item in your house). That is, if we don't solve the app problem first.

> Rather, it is poking fun at the people who do not understand these literary giants, but claim to.

I'd go a level deeper, and say that these "literary giants" also suffer from "obscurantism". Maybe it's academia, or the fact they're trying to express a truly new thought (if that's possible nowadays), but comprehensibility suffers by using long and obscure words.

They also say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery", so to expect undergrads won't to also do this is unrealistic.

"Viable to work" is almost always a decision. A potential employee must decide if it's viable for them to get their ass to work and if they would end up, at the end of the day, economically advantaged for having done so.

As in, "I am sick and hurting but I will get my ass to work anyway because I need to to survive." versus "I am sick and hurting and fuck this, lets see what the alternatives are."

Of course there are cases when it is cut and dry. I think the thesis of TFA is that the rapid expansion of SSDI program is because the way the program works now it's not cut and dry at all.

Now the operative part of better w.r.t Medicare is free. Medicare is the biggest insurance network in the world. "Lots of providers won't let you in the door" is equally true with private insurance too.

But if you are earning just your SSDI check, you also qualify for Medicaid in states with Medicaid Expansion. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I think you do actually get both, and Medicare is the primary payer and Medicaid pays second. Which basically means you can walk into any hospital in your state, for any reason, and pay nothing.
