Yet somehow many thought that the cynic ones of us where wrong and Google would be different.

Our opinions are based on life experience, watching the same cycles unfold time and time again.

The next one will be the demise of open source ideals after everyone has migrated away from GPL for everything but the Linux kernel.

I will give it around 10 years for it to happen.
Regardless of the target audience, his point stands. Don't use TCP for "real time" games because when packet loss hits, TCP will make things worse by stopping to transmit later packets and then resend the old data which is now out of date.

It's definitely not an easy task for beginners, but these days you can pick up his library that implements this stuff.

It creates a presumption of incompetence

No, it acknowledges the reality, that people, including you and I, don't know what is good for them.

Being forced to come up with design documents is very similar to forcing doctors to use checklists. They complained, and still complain, that they are professionals and don't need the bureaucracy and 'assumption of incompetence'. But the numbers speak for themselves: there are much fewer medical errors when they are forced to use simple checklists.

My colleagues are all competent, yet they produce much better work if they are forced to first come up with a design document.
Are you being ironic, or are you actually calling for deposing of world leaders by force in the name of peace?

Here's your irony; deposing of world leaders by force in the name of peace is exactly the practice of the US, the UK and other such nations that causes so much trouble. Although it does seem to be less fashionable than it was; I suppose even our system can't spin away the colossal failures. I remember when Iraq was going to be a western liberal democracy in a year.

If you read the text carefully, and strip it of the "we were so awesome and those idiots didn't understand just how awesome we were" you can actually see quite a bit of what I was saying in the text itself.

For example: "... neither [of the authors] attended the kickoff meeting at NSWC". So it's not entirely surprising if (as I suggest), they weren't fully aware of the actual purpose [especially if, as the other paper suggests, there were relevant discussions that preceded the kickoff meeting].

Or the following: 'One observer described the solution as “cute but not extensible” (para-phrasing); this comment slipped its way into an initial draft of the final report, which described the Haskell prototype as being “too cute for its own good”'

Again, the authors frame this as the judges not understanding how wonderful their solution was, i.e. "everybody else is an idiot". Well, maybe everyone else isn't an idiot, and maybe the evaluation had something to do with not really contributing to the actual software-architectural purpose, which in turn had something to do with the authors not being there for the kickoff meeting?

Of course, I wasn't there either, but this sure is what it looks like to me.

Here is another paper, which talks more about the original problem and purpose of the competition, which was to be a sample problem (with sample solutions) for software architecture:

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/able/ftp/aegis-iwssd8/a...

I remember seeing a more comprehensive report, which also had larger code samples and talked about the disqualifications, but I can't seem to find it right now.
This was still a somewhat big issue for me when I was young. I'm in my mid twenties and my parent didn't really believe in tech until very recently (my success in the industry played a role in changing their mind), now they use the internet, stream content through the TV, play games on their phones, Facebook and Skype... This wasn't the case 10 years ago, though. I had to fight really hard to get an internet connection at home in 2004! Investment in computers in my household was minimal (In hindsight, I wish I had been more proactive about this - I missed a lot of opportunities). They didn't really believe in a tech career - My dad wanted me to follow a military career like the one he had!

It wasn't until I moved out and started paying my own bills that they realised I might have been on to something. Essentially, my parents believed computers were for video games, a tool for kids to have fun. Even when I showed interest in areas like programming or graphic design.
Btw you can get "if then else" at AST level using RebindableSyntax [1], but pattern matching (case...) will still allow the end-user to "side step" this.

That requires plenty of knowledge, but algorithmic CS stuff isn't high on that list.

I'm not sure I agree – in my experience there is at least a direct correlation between 'knows about scalability, performance and maintainability' and 'knows about data structures and algorithms'. Maybe they aren't going to be able to tell you about the performance edge-cases of different sorts or whatever, but I'd probably still expect to see at least awareness of a difference existing.

I believe your (excellent) point also applies to the broader issue of mental health.

Based on being around and close to many people with mental health problems (and, to some degree, based on my personal experience), a major problem is transitioning back into society after prolonged periods of 'problems' and/or therapy. Quite a number of them struggled for years to get back into some kind of 'normal' life, if they managed to do so at all.

In a few cases I've even wondered if they'd been better off not being treated and labeled and instead figuring out over time how to cope or deal with their problems in better ways.

It's like breaking a leg and - after it being fixed and healed - being sent home without any physical therapy or instructions on how to regain muscle strength, and everyone expects you to just get up and walk like they do.

Now, and I can't emphasize this enough, I'm not saying that therapy is a bad idea. In many cases it's absolutely necessary and in most cases it's the best we can do what with our limited understanding of the mind and the society/reality we live in.

But still, I wonder if the success rate of treatment for things like depression, addiction, and many other problems would be significantly higher if we put more effort into the rehabilitation process, both as 'caregivers' and as a society.

It's difficult to raise this issue without getting into the problem of the hyper-individualistic nature of (western) society though, which I think lies at the root of this issue (and perhaps at the root of many mental health issues). Perhaps we've prized and institutionalized freedom of choice and self-sufficiency so much that we forgot how to deal with those who, for various reasons, are unable to.
Krugman's bet - in his own words and using ISLM - was that interest rates would skyrocket because of deficit spending on the Iraq war in 2003. He paid extra to make this bet.

Where on that graph did rates skyrocket exactly?
That would depend on how you implement it. If the tax increases each year there will necessarily be a point in time where even the most profitable franchises become too costly to protect. Particularly if it increases at an accelerating pace.

Build-in sum types and pattern matching are the major missing features.

I think that's true for everyone to an extent. Nobody like every single facet of technology, especially if it's the same repetitive job or a badly designed language.
One thing that I find different about github vs previously (e.g on sourceforge) when you had to sort of sign up to be part of the group to propose a change, is that people feel a lot more free to suggest out of the blue quite impactful but ultimately rather superficial changes to a project. They argue and argue to get these changes accepted, and then disappear.

On several projects I've been on, I get issues or pull requests proposing to change the entire build system of a project. As you know, for C/C++ projects, the build system can be non-trivial, and maybe many years have gone into getting it to work well. And as things change, we adapt it. But as soon as it's not the flavour of the week, you get github requests suggesting to change to a completely different one, to suit some or other system's needs.

A tweak here, a tweak there, or an entire overhaul being proposed from people who haven't contributed to the actual code base at all. These infrastructure "suggestions" from people who aren't invested in the project but love to play with scripts built up "around" the code get very annoying. I don't know what the difference is exactly but it didn't happen with such frequency when things were more oriented around mailing lists.

I've now got 3 projects that have at least two build systems each, because of random people's preferences. That is a lot of extra work to maintain that is orthogonal to the actual project source code. I've started closing PRs that make infrastructural changes that I don't want to be responsible for, unless I can get the submitter to promise he'll be around for a while to maintain it. I've also started forcing people to put such changes in subfolders so that it's clear which one is the "supported" system. And I haven't shied from "assigning" subsequent bugs back to the original PR submitter. But sometimes that doesn't even solicit a response.

People: if you are going to suggest switching a project to a completely different build system, and then disappear and not promise to maintain said system, please think twice about changing something just because it doesn't suit your preferences of the week.
A lot of people already did that and it's already cheap anywhere in the world. The thing is, to be able to sell it in the US you would have to be approved by the FDA and that's why Shkreli got away with it, there can't be any legal competition before at least a few years.
This is old news, the article is more than 2 years old (from May 2014).
> Don't you guys ask yourself how come you are always at war?

Actually, I'm a veteran, son of a veteran, son of a son of a veteran, and we all served in between wars, so we're not exactly "always at war".

But all bullshit aside, why would you lay that kind of blame on the people who rolled the dice (choosing between enlisting and working at DQ to pay off their double-wide) and now have to go out and do the job, versus the people who are making a profit every time we shoot off a $200K TOW round? There are, like, half a dozen people in the Army who could raise their hand and say "let's have a war" and have it actually mean anything, but you're asking veterans why they fight wars.

It's way more rediculous than you think. OS network stacks try to do the reasonable thing in most cases if possible. In the case of Linux TCP Vegas is very unlikely to drop any packet since the main algorithm is RTT based not drop.

Firefox dev tools are sometimes painful to use and lacks some important features which Chrome's has.

Some examples:

- debugging with source maps: it doesn't work properly (I can set breakpoints and debug variables content on typescript files in Chrome, but not in FF)

- JS exceptions: clicking on the filename inside the stack opens a new window with the source of the JS file, not the debugger (ugh)

- doesn't support typescript highlighting
For many organisations there is a real risk that a browser update will unexpectedly break a key internal application, which could have a catastrophic impact on operations.

The vast majority of large companies will control and test key software updates, balancing the various risks (security patches, obsolescence, operational incidents..).

Not allowing auto-updating to be controlled basically means that the software is not intended to be deployed in enterprises.
Sorry but without the rigors of scientific testing, this is just more woo-woo nonsense that isn't effective.

I think the journalists mention that this form of therapy wouldn't "get a second glance from Psychiatrists" is telling.

There's more rigorous work being done on PTSD and MDMA and it is actually working compared to this bogus bullshit "therapy" being peddled. Utter nonsense. Psychiatrists know what they're doing. There's no need to follow cultish fads because they helped a dozen yahoos.

More features, more libraries, but is there a working group that looks back at C++98 and tries to reduce complexity by removing mistakes from the language?

My pet peeve is Argument-Dependent Lookup. It's a hack that breaks the encapsulation of namespaces, increases compile times and still makes it harder to write code - try swap()ing two values of type T in a template function. But like any of C++'s warts, it will be with us forever.

Everyone always says that we are over estimating current changes in the economy. We already had industrialisation and it went fine. I think they are wrong, we are on the verge of something totally new and all the optimists aren't realists.

Farming was automized, so we transformed to other jobs. No problem there ( thank god it was possible)

Industrialisation made it possible for a company export to a total new market and it made worldwide selling possible ==> New markets. No problem there

Computer appeared. Untill now, the effect wasn't big. They lines are all dedicated and require huge investments.
Humans are still required for putting chocolates in a box and getting it out of the "container" ( although it could be automatised with a huge investment).

What's going to happen when those robots with an investment cost of 10.000$ to replace an employee. Can learn putting chocolates in a box with supervised learning and no other investment.

Who's going to get work and where is the money coming from if all jobs are slowly being replaced / automized. I think there is a lot of trouble on the road ahead. To what usefull jobs will all drivers/truckers/taxi's transform to for still being usefull. What jobs are next, accounting perhaps. And where will it stop?

And don't say, they have to learn something new. The people that are going to be replaced by total automation ( robots) in the workforce are (mostly) workers in the first place and i don't think a lot of them are smart enough, to do something new that won't be replaced by automation < 3 years when it begins.

I'm not trying to offend someone, but i'm pretty hopeless because i don't see a way out for a lot of people.

It was true a few years ago, but Chrome no longer uses WebKit, they forked it to their own Blink engine, so now there are differences between them and you have to write stylesheets for both (example: -apple-system font vs BlinkMacSystemFont).

Although some code is still being ported between them (e.g. Safari recently "Enabled support for a modern CSS parser, ported from Blink, that improves performance, specification compliance, and compatibility with other browsers, while also adding support for scientific notation in all CSS numbers" https://webkit.org/blog/7120/release-notes-for-safari-techno...).

You're not supposed to use the webkit prefixes. The only reason firefox has them is because some older websites will stop working.

Speaking of Haskell, Yale, and the 1990s: I ported the 1993 release of Yale Haskell to run on top of GNU CLISP. It only required a couple of small changes. The code is here: http://git.elephly.net/software/yale-haskell.git
From the article: "And as that temptation becomes obvious, interest rates will soar. It won't happen right away. With the economy stalling and the stock market plunging, short-term rates are probably headed down, not up, in the next few months, and mortgage rates may not have hit bottom yet. But unless we slide into Japanese-style deflation, there are much higher interest rates in our future." (emphasis mine)

That's pretty much what happened:

Inflation doubled from 2002 onwards, then the housing bubble popped, causing inflation to fall. Thankfully not into a long-term deflationary spiral, though.

Companies have far too much internal plumbing to permit browsers to auto-update themselves. Being feature-compatible with the latest SV-poster-child website is insignificant compared to maintaining stability for the tax-management team's internal web app.

I was once involved in an IE6 -> IE8 upgrade for a Fortune 100 corporation. It took nine months to analyze all the possible impacts and implement mitigations before the first internal production release. And that was fast on account of teams being forced to particpate by C-officer mandate.

By the time the deployment was finished, which required several more months, IE10 was mainstream in the Real World.

Quite the contrary: most installs I've seen have a "remote" dedicated SMTP server which is actually on local network (not significantly slower than mail()), and does other useful stuff like DKIM and SPF (which, with appropriate setup, has the added bonus that rogue app-server emails don't just appear out of nowhere, and at the very minimum have to pass through this server, giving you a place to debug). Of course, if you're making My First Blog Server on a shared host, then all of this is moot.
