Billons where spent in Denmark doing that. The results where void. The problem is that the kind of skills you need require much more than what retraining can do.
Funny how when the author finally arrives at the point where he intends to go from "unnecessary" to "bad", he has little more to say than "there is no space to repeat it here".

I think this is now the safest way to proceed. When I used Windows I wouldn't upgrade to the new version until the first or second service package.
rust, ruby, scala, typescript

- rust => basically, it's not new for me, I've done several small toy project with it, but I want to create bigger project with it.

- ruby => not new again, doing it only for work :((

- scala => this year will be quite interesting year for this language since its library adoption for 2.12 are still on going and who forget about dotty anyway ? Full stack development (frontend + backend) will be quite interesting

- typescript => I already try this, but still not getting anything quite done yet, sometimes it's still a bit awkward in getting some development tools working. It has some issues in getting js library working together since some js libraries weren't that friendly with typescript. (frontends)
For many startups, there aren't enough users actually using the interface that a couple employees can't handle it. And the insight gained from those direct interactions is worth the cost of the labor.

My brother recently finished nursing school. The number of times he got the question, "you're gonna be a male nurse?" ... He had a number of cute responses.
> strangling themselves with their own gender stereotypes

Those stereotypes exist for a reason. No matter how much you pretend otherwise, differences between men and women exist. That's why we refer to one as men and one as women. Because they're different. They will naturally gravitate toward specific industries and tasks. Lecturing people because of their natural preferences is juvenile.
> they told us we'd have to bring in our own laptops.

Ask if there are any exceptions-- perhaps they have an old, un-used loaner laptop lying around. Also, this wasn't a stated pre-condition of your internship. Do they typically change terms with partners after an agreement has been made?

I once had a summer job working for a landscaper. They never asked me to bring my own lawnmower and rake. Normally, it's the employers responsibility to provide basic work tools.

Hope these "micro farmers" enjoy the good times while they last as their days are numbered. Sensors, automation and intelligent, intensive and most importantly organic, vertical farming is going to ultimately decimate the small producer farming industry. The thing is produce is a commodity, not a branded good, and people ultimately don't care what "label" is on their vegetables and won't pay a premium for a given label when they can get reasonable analogs for the same or a lesser price. Consumers just want quality produce at a reasonable price.

When technology driven high intensity automated farms are able to output yields orders of magnitude greater than these people digging in the dirt with hand-tools are able to output, at a commensurate if not substantially higher quality, they'll be able to undercut the prices of these "micro farmers" by significant amounts and all consumers will care about is that their organic heirloom greens taste just as good but cost half the price. Not the mention they'll do so with a substantially reduced environmental impact, requiring less water per unit of output and requiring substantially less space allowing formerly agricultural lands to be returned back to their natural state.

Small scale agriculture is a fantastic solution to the problem of disaffected young people who want to be farmers, but doesn't really offer any practical solutions for the rest of the world.
>> Why wouldn't they be a significant part of the economy?

Because they don't have any money. Retired people either don't have a lot of money to spend or they tend to be very conservative in their spending since they don't have a regular income. If you want to increase the amount of money they have, you're looking at increased government handouts which come from taxes, which come from the people who are working. BTW I don't consider social security in the US to be a handout, but it does theoretically come from taxes on a persons previous income.
That reminded me of Bob Martin on "object oriented C" - https://youtu.be/t86v3N4OshQ?t=1120
Your comment did come off as very defensive, at least to me, and presumably to dagenleg as well. I don't think dagenleg is saying that all Americans have this view. (The comment even says it's a stereotype.) I certainly see this thinking all the time in America. It seems that many people's greatest fear is that they will have to subsidize someone else's life in some way. I don't have much direct experience with European culture, but this type of thinking seems less prevalent in Western Europe.
Yet another excellent resource that I found helpful (and fun) is a series of short lectures by The Catsters: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheCatsters.
> Assange has stated again in another interview, airing tonight, that it wasn't Russia.

After it came out from a number of sources, starting with CrowdStrike and later including the US intelligence community that the leaks were a Russian intelligence operation, WikiLeaks has proffered a shifting set of explanations, including for a while intimating that there was no hacking involved and that their source was an insider leak.

Obviously, WikiLeaks has an interest in not being seen as a pawn or dupe of Russia's intelligence services; OTOH, there's no shared common interest between the various parties that have attributes the hack to Russia in so doing if it is false.
and yet there is much disagreement about what actions are in America's best interest. and even then, why are you so confident that politicians and bureaucrats are motivated by "America's best interest"? Even supposing they are, and do not have complicated and conflicting motivations (as most human beings tend to), why are you so confident that they know which actions ought to be taken to advance those interests?
People are also very averse to chance.

They in fact do have money, as do their families. When we note that senior care is an increasingly important part of the economy, we're not saying that's because we're allocating more government funds to them; it's simply because there are more seniors to care for.
Great dom96, I have the pre-release and i'm really enjoying it. When I get a hang of Nim I wanna create a set of Youtube "Learning Nim" screencasts since Nim based videos are scarce on Youtube.
> because the various people claiming the opposite have a clear political agenda

What is CrowdStrike's "clear political agenda" and where is evidence of it?
That's only true if you define "middle-class" as white collar. Welders make decent money, 35-60k on average for bog standard fabrication work. Easy to double those figures working for the oil and gas industries. Welders that can cert to Nuclear industry standards can easily triple those figure, and underwater welders can make over $300k in a year.
I don't relish the opportunity, but batch files, since they are the lowest common denominator for scripting on Windows.
Thanks, I will give it a try later!
You are exactly right. Who is going to take care of all these people as they age? (Huge problem in Japan right now. They are basically paying people to have kids because they know they'll be needing population to fill that role). People taking care of other people is going to be harder to automate than shipping and logistics. But still there is going to be cost/wage differences between companions vs light nursing (shower, etc.) vs full nursing ....
You can't pay a high school graduate the same as a CPRN, and they have different skills/applications.

The middle class is based on a mostly unskilled workers making a great wage because they are producing things that people will pay even more for. Automation has killed that future dream and is rapidly killing what remains of it.

I agree that it makes no sense to turn a welder into a mechanical engineer. The best we can do in the short term is turn them into robot mechanics but that is just buying time (although maybe a long time). Eventually, we have to re-evaluate what life is, can be or should be. I find this future fascinating and terrifying.
> The thing that has the shape of a quadtree is the callgraph

Thanks, I have borrowed your succinct explanation and added it to the essay. MuchIappreciate the insight.
Well, I was using the term a little sarcastically since it is (I think) usually applied to multi-tier web service architectures.

In my case I have an embedded system with a touch screen display, running a bunch of tasks to drive peripherals. There is a task that handles communication with the touch screen (serial). Then there is a set of slow tasks that handles states and modes, for example the runtime representation of a modulator or an RF amplifier. This got extended because we are adding "remote control" support over RS-232 and USB and so this runtime representation has to support more of a multiple model-view-controller. This can be done with queues and a lot of functions but it was simpler to represent it as a tree of stateful values that can be updated via remote commands or via the touch screen and have "downstream" updates. So that's what I mean by the "business logic" -- higher-level than, say, a driver and task for talking to a digital potentiometer or a DAC.
Elixir has a little bit of Erlang in the compiler but at this point it would be fairly trivial to replace it with pure elixir, and most of the compiler is elixir already. However, Elixir does compile down to the EVM/BEAM (Erlang Virtual Machine) without using Erlang as a go-through. I'd argue that Elixir is 'mostly self-hosted'.

I would assume that the Democrats (as a non-American, what's up with calling them 'liberals'?) being out of power for four years will make them literally incapable of being why Trump fails to solve these problems.
Checkout AI .API. This sounds like!E what you might be looking for.
That was the "logic" I took from that comment too, but it still doesn't make any sense. We spend money on all sorts of things that don't "contribute" (in this weird, narrow sense) to the economy. But of course, most things we spend money on do in fact contribute to the economy: the money goes into the pockets of the people providing the service, who go on to buy things with that money and fuel the economy.

That's what I meant when I said I didn't understand the reasoning of the comment --- like, at all, even a little bit.
journalistic ethics would have been to diligently research the story before going to press. what they should have done in this situation is make sure they had the facts in order before making statements of the gravity they made.
Swift - It's cross platform, pretty and seems to be well maintained.
JavaScript(ES2017, React, etc.) - I already use this now. I will just be adding on to what I already use from it now.

Emacs lisp is just so immensely sticky... once you cross the initial "what's up with this crappy lisp?" threshold, and have a finger caught in its web, you suddenly just want to put your hands all in. And then find more hands to add to the pot.

I disagree. I don't know about the specifics that Dalio lays out, but as a media person who has been on both sides this issue, his detailed account of the WaPo's alleged journalistic malpractice rings very true.

In other words, what he describes may or may not have actually happened in this case, but boy does it look exactly like the kind of thing that used to be very routine at every level of the old-line print media, from local papers to big magazines.

Journos (or, in many cases, their editors) have a sensational story they want to tell, and they're going to tell that story regardless of how the actual reporting goes and what facts it turns up. This happens again and again and again. In fact, it used to just be the way things were done, with any positive deviation from that coming about by happy accident. Recent incidents that come to mind are the big Asian nail salon expose that had a ton of problems, or the infamous Rolling Stone rape piece. The list goes on, tho.

So this post is a really good look at how "fake news" has operated for at least the past six or so decades.
Sounded like a perfect fit for Kafka.
Rust - I've been looking at Rust from afar, and I like what I see. A coworker also has given it a glowing recommendation.

Elixir - This one is a maybe for me. I've wanted to get more into functional programming, but also not sure if I want to explore the Erlang stack since I've been burned by it at work.
ROCCAT introduces Force FX as an analog, pressure-sensitive key zone
There are a fair number of comments dismissing this issue with a "retrain or get left behind" and expressing not a lot of sympathy for those who don't.

Remember, the average IQ in the US is just below 100[1]. Exactly what kind of jobs do you expect to retrain these people for? And how are they equipped to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps?

Most of these jobs provided on the job training or apprenticeships so it's not even a matter of "they did it once they can do it again".

Also, many are battling obesity and related illnesses such as diabetes or struggling with mental illness and/or addiction.

We need a systemic overhaul of the economic system and soon. Self driving vehicles will put 3-5 million out of work in the next decade.

Now you have a glut of skilled workers all chasing the few remaining well-paid jobs, and driving down their wages in the process.

Plus you still have a huge mass of unemployed people who ended up in those jobs because they lacked either the aptitude of temperament to gain skills in the first place, or are too old, poor or poorly situated to take advantage of the opportunity now.

Soon, due to the dearth of people employed, and the shrinking wages of the minority who are, there is no longer enough people left with money to buy most goods and services. As a result, businesses start to shut down, exacerbating unemployment and sending the economy into a contractionary death spiral.

Yes, in a healthy job market, people will gradually retrain and relocate in order to fill demand. But what we're talking about here is a total breakdown in the jobs market, to the point where it becomes non-functional.

It's the difference between supply problems causing the prices of a few foodstuffs to rise, and an unending drought that destroys harvests year after year. The market can cope with the first, but not the second. The result will be famine and mass starvation.
My wife and I have had 3 kids (now 8,6 and 1), all 3 were C-sections with extended hospital stays and all 3 births were covered, in their entirety, including pre-birth obstetrician visits, my wife's follow-up visits and initial pediatric appointments for the kids with zero co-pays. Literally we paid nothing to the doctors or hospitals for the entire year. We've had various flavors of Blue Cross/Blue Shield "HMO Blue" Massachusetts. This is not even the top tier plan Blue Cross offers from my employer - that's the "PPO" plan which has significantly better out of network coverage.
Ditto. It's original purpose as an embedded scripting language for C programs still stands.
The Microsoft @types repository is actually not the recommended way of storing Typescript typings.

Typescript developers are encouraged to package a Typescript definition file inside of their repository if possible. Typescript is smart enough to pick it up automatically.

I think that inheritance can have a place. It makes a lot of sense when writing //small variations// on an otherwise rich inner class. Small variations might include layering on a different input or output mechanism, or possibly handling 'extra' data that the object stores but previously did not modify.
The current demand for healthcare is just phenomenal, with the supply barely meeting it in developed countries, and not so much in developing countries. Automation will most likely make it possible to have better skill division. e.g. a heart surgeon from the US could operate on a patient in Gambia, remotely. It seems unlikely that AI/automation would replace the surgeon altogether, at least in the next couple of decades (perhaps in the next 100 years, if we don't manage to kill of our species).
I don't think "go with the market leader" is a viable strategy, since I'm sure we can all find examples of the market leader being upended..

So the real moral of the story is "Don't base your livelyhood on proprietary software because companies WILL go out of business and leave you in the lurch."
The mouse over text is even truer.
I, being one of the few people on HN that like OOP, dont find anything you mentioned that organized, clean or simplified like oop.

No copy is available in rust. Overloading a generic function seems like we are talking about interfaces. A preprocessor step again is similar to rust.

But only the second has anything to do with writing in oop
Just about any other OOP language.

I don't find reflection itself to be particularly helpful, e.g., the only times I used it in Java were during low-level framework creation and code generation. Anything else is better handled via interfaces or similar functionality.

But if I were forced to use the JVM (which is a nice platform) I'd tend towards Clojure (distinctly not OO). If OO was a strict requirement then Groovy or Scala.

Java's OOP implementation, however, is fairly limited in scope, although Java 8 has somewhat alleviated my own particular pain points (e.g., lambdas).
Quite a lot of local dealers get their merchandise from darknets in bulk. I doubt it's made a huge difference to the conventional supply chains, though - there really just isn't that much volume in cryptos.
Try AI.API. It is a chat bot framework
So it depends how you define "basic needs". For me, this is a "nice-to-have" which might be skewed by my being average height and build. Those above average height, especially those who fly frequently, are more likely to consider it a basic need.
If those 'elders' lives can be meanginfdly improved with care, than the resulting GDP from their payment to service providers is as 'productive' to society than anything else.

What the hell is the economy for otherwise?

Most of the economy is not based things that grow the pie massively like 'new energy forms' and 'more powerful computers' etc..
"I believe the reasons for your crazy voting record, young chap, is because of humors of the mesentery. Myes."
I once worked at a place that basically just used perl server side. In this decade (2010s). The codebase was just one tangled mess.

They told a story of a guy who failed the cultural interview because he told a VP "you can't write a large web app in perl", and of course they had done just that. With the reflection of hind sight I think despite the obvious empirical counter factual, he was on to something. It really was an uphill battle against the language to do things large scale.
I thought it was part of the original broadcast rights grants to NBC & CBS that stipulated that certain periods of time be devoted to news programs, but I could be wrong.

>>Who's dream is it to perform a "relatively narrow set of repeated tasks" for 8 hours a day?

No ones, but they also want to eat, have a home, and provide for their offspring

> As mentioned, take these "prime aged workers" teach them skills, and suddenly we have a spike in actually valuable labor instead of a middle class of unfulfilled office drones stuck in a stupor.

What about the people that can not be taught "skills", what about when the machines take over their skills? What about ... 100 other scenarios I can come up with

>the framing should be look at this amazing business opportunity to onboard high value workers, not cautionary doom.

To do what, exactly? No job is safe from automation. To deny the potential for this new wave of automation to create massive poverty is to deny reality.

We have ti adjust how society functions, how we look at labor, and honestly how we look at human rights.

If we do not, if we hold to the same Social Structure of 40 hours a week with minimum amount of pay as possible all that will be is suffering for the majority, because even in this "utopia" where you can take 100% of the lower skilled worker and magically impart upon them more skills all you have done is flood the market with a greater supply of workers for those higher skilled jobs while no increasing the demand for them. Economics 101 tells up that results in a reduction in the price of that labor, so what was once "valuable labor" is no longer valuable.
The prejudice and stereotyping here is ridiculous, but honestly, I think something that needs to happen (for a variety of reasons) is for the term "nurse" to be retired, and replaced with something like "medical associate".

The nursing profession is extraordinarily important, and we underutilize it in this country. Most of us should be talking to "nurses" much more frequently than we do, and much more often than we talk to doctors.

OK, that's our point of departure. If the Post gets two officials telling them something then they're going to print that as 'officials say ...'. I agree that this often leads to bad journalism, but not that it's dishonest. You can of course have your own standards.
