Practical Foundations for Programming Languages by Bob Harper is really good, plus there's a free draft of the second version on the author's site http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/pfpl.html

I always go to the book author's page first not only to get the errata but also discover things such as free lectures as in the case with Skeina's Algorithm Design Book

If you have a stencil printer, yes. Simple SMT stencil printers for unframed stencils are unreasonably expensive.[1][2]

I'd been using TechShop's SMT equipment, which is junk.
It's getting better since I got a Puhui T-962 oven with all the mods to make it sort of work. I've gone lead-free, which makes it tougher. But I keep getting solder bridges between pins.

I always presumed that the œ ligature was later collapsed into ø, which is how Danish and Norwegians write the letter ö.
Considerably more - that's surprising. Would you mind breaking out more exact numbers?
> "Theologians" never invent or bring anything to the table, which God has not already made clear.

That is a religious viewpoint, a leap of faith. From a rational perspective, there is no reason to think God put anything special in the Bible. The Bible is a collection of texts about things people have believed, but there is no reason to think God had a hand in it anymore than in say the Quran or the Edda.
Maybe not a bad deal though, if you don't intend to settle. And maybe that's the idea?
How to build and deploy static websites using Node and Metalsmith
It's a very fine line to walk though: too much profit, people hate it (it's taking money from them), run at a loss, people hate it (it's a waste of tax money).

But since it is built and owned by the government, the economical benefit is also in the equation other than operation profit. A province would welcome the bullet train network even if it has to pay, if it attracts a capital influx to the province. This is usually true: given the convenience of taking the train, a city get connected means you are almost merged into a mega city, economically.

Right now the bullet train is for passenger, but cargo trains are on the timeline now. Think of goods shipped by train but arrive almost as fast as by air: this alone would make the investment a bit worthier than it looks.
Logically I can't wrap my head around your position. Content, like comments is just the output of someones thoughts. The majority of comments are short off-the-cuff statements, but articles on websites stand a better chance of having gone through a process of deliberation/research/etc. Perhaps you could argue that most content is fluff but even so, all I'm saying is that it stands some chance, versus no chance of being thorough.

So.. to me, the opposite holds true. If lets say I was interested in reviews on some technical product I wanted to buy - I would definitely prefer to have a lengthy article that goes over all the details rather than a comment thread which might detail one tiny slice of their experience with the product. So maybe if enough people comment, I can waste some time reading them all and cobble together a larger slice in my head, but again, its tedious, its just easier to go to a single source that has already done it.

Maybe what we really need is better curation than the current voting model.
People forget that IT is not the final product. Facebook is not big because they solve technical challenges (related to code and infrastructure). They are big because they are solving a specific problem people had. They are not a special snowflake. If FB would disappear the world would not loose anything. We would just move to something else and which basically happened in China due to chinese gov's protectionism.

We do not need that many programmers,sysadmins,engineers. We do not need zillions of compilers,programming languages, frameworks or crud apps.

If we want to be effective at using and consuming resources we need to be effective at redistributing the wealth. I am a capitalist by heart but in a dystopian world of mega corps we just do not need billionaires. We do not need brilliant businessmen the same way we do not need that many workers.
In such a world we do not need capitalism. We do not need companies competing with each other (well at least not on planet earth). We can move on and reward the 1% of scientists and provide them with much more money and resources.

If we want to keep people in line we can make them study more and provide good standards of living.
We are talking more or less socialism / communism here but the reality is that we will not need to compete with each other anymore. Our only problem will be to avoid a war between superpowers and people revolting against governments. The fact is we do not really need improvements that much when compared to the past. We do not need faster iphones and more efficient batteries. It would be nice to have but it's not that important after all. The only purpose of iphone is to be connected and consume. The only purpose of a car be it electric or normal is to transport people or goods from point A to point B.
Welcome to Europe.
You can get a round-trip on the Eurostar for USD 140 in Economy, maybe USD 200 for popular departure times. That brings you right in the middle of the city, unlike a flight. There's a reason the Eurostar is popular.
Part of that is because there was only physics and math degrees up to around the 60s. There wasn't really EE or CS, and even when there was, most the professors were originally trained as physicists.
Partially because it isn't really relevant to the discussion at all. You're just ham-fisting an agenda into a separate conversation.
I don't know Zemmour other than by name. So I went on his Wikipedia page to take a look at that. The french one appears to have more information.

- Condamnation pour incitation à la discrimination raciale en 2011

- Condamnation pour provocation à la haine envers les musulmans

- Condamnation d'I-Télé pour "rupture abusive de contrat"

One is about racial discrimination. One is about inciting hate against muslims. The last one is about a private company. The guy also happens to have written a book about gays where... I'll just quote wikipedia: ""gays" would have been stigmatized and isolated, like the lepers of old."

Help me out here. How do you get from there to "You're only allowed to talk about gays if you say 'they're great and I love everything about them'"?
We've actually had this welfare for 70 years, and the harm was supposed to come any minute now for all this time. Ultimately, its demise is likely going to come from the propaganda against it rather from it actually being a problem.
I found that dragging a selection, and then using Ctl+C and Ctl+V is very time consuming when needing to select structured data repeatedly. There was also the extra matter of getting the cursor in the right spot without accidentally clicking buttons and links on the page.

So it's really helpful for my use case/s but, yeah, I am curious if my needs are more novel than not.
You can't base your thinking on one particular example. Judges can make mistakes.

The law makes racism, antisemitism and homophobia illegal. That's fine for me.
I've done this, one job title I held was "customer solutions architect" or "customer solutions engineer" and it was a pretty good fit, although involved more travel than I personally was looking for.

You match customer needs with solutions architected/engineered from your organization's product and service offerings basically, and support/consult with the customer about fitting your solution into their environment.
To be honest, I'm not sure we have actually seen a concentration of wealth in housing. The homeownership rate is almost at the highest point in history (it definitely was in 2008), which means that said wealth is spread thinner than ever. Further, construction of homes is still quite accessible to small business, so we haven't even seen concentration of wealth into construction to see lowering prices there.

We might even go as far as to say housing perfectly demonstrates what happens when you don't get the trickle down effect. Granted, those rising housing prices are not all bad as you can make money from the gains on the property and the construction of. This is the system you want to have everywhere, right?

But housing is also interesting because people have changed where they want to live. In the 1940s, ~50% of the population lived in the middle of nowhere. Today, ~20%. Now, people are willingly taking the $100/month they saved on food (just to stick with the example) and are applying it to the rent in the big city so that they can have the opportunity to live there. If they were happy with 1940s-style living, and opted for a home in the middle of nowhere, they would be able to retain that $100/month and capture wealth with it. Like the smartphone, this is consumer choice to give up the wealth to get more (to live in the city).

As far as healthcare goes, I'm inclined to agree that wealth has been more apt to concentrated there. But like people choosing to pay more to be in the city, people are choosing to pay more to have state of the art healthcare. Would you really want to go back to 1940s style healthcare at a lower cost? I'm not convinced I would, even if it helps my balance sheet. The gains are still there, but utilized instead of being stashed away into wealth.
46k actually high for France and probably average for mid level in Paris.
I've seen a lot of stilts being built along the Yangtze River, but that is hardly flat at all, they have to stilt or go low enough to build a really long tunnel, which isn't viable; it definitely wasn't because they were cutting through a farmer's field! The new freeways follow the same pattern. BJ-GZ is a really long line that goes through a big chunk of china, but it is mostly rural, whereas BJ-TJ is a short jaunt between two abutting cities.

I've never seen stilts in flat terrain before, outside of SH/GZ elevated ring roads. I'm very surprised BJ-TJ is elevated when almost nothing else in urban Beijing is.
>because London is sat next door with considerably higher salaries, and everyone there speaks English

That's a bigger deal than it might seem, even if you're recruiting from countries that aren't nominally Anglophone.

If you pick a random engineer in, say, China, there's a lot higher probability that the engineer will speak English than French.

English also opens up India, where most educated people have studied English, and English is actually one of the official languages.

French is only common in countries where French is an official language, most of which have small populations and/or not much of a tech scene.
Not OP but I always say "etsy", and "etsy-d" for etcd. I have never explored if these are correct pronunciations or not...

This starts pretty early. I mean, would you rather be treated like dirt doing your prof's work for her or him for poverty-level wages (if any!) or making a decent income as a CS intern?

I got my undergrad in physics, but spent all of my free time (and a lot of what probably should have been study-time) teaching myself to code. It had a pretty brutal impact on my GPA, but I've no regrets.
WhatsApp vulnerability explained: by the man who discovered it
I have really high hopes that starups/high tech companies will also flourish outside of Paris. France has some really great medium sized cities - compact, livable, full of character and with much lower costs. I'm hoping that some of them will develop the core of a startup scene that will draw in more people and generally make them exciting. Toulouse already has this to an extent with Airbus being there, generally very active in aerospace and robotics.

AOS 5.0 New Feature: Life Cycle Management
I think it depends on where in the US. In NYC, I pay around 32% of my gross income in federal and local taxes, social security, medicare, etc. That's almost 4 months of my salary.

On top of that, I have to pay for health insurance, deductibles, and retirement savings, which I assume my French counterpart wouldn't have to separately pay for.
Duo Lingo found that "sounding like a fool" is a big inhibitor to learning a language. With his wife, I bet your colleague didn't feel that embarrassment and could thus plow through and pick it it up.
Mathematicians as well. It's not just physicists. In fact any of the STEM fields is a valid path to software engineering.
In France, not necessarily Paris, or most large French cities.

And what is the national language of Ireland?
I'm sorry, I looked back through my words, and didn't see any name calling. That's fine if you want to ban me. I'll go elsewhere. But, I think you're greatly confusing incivility and name-calling with honesty and pointedness. Am I really offending someone? really?

I want dang back. lol.

So, I still live in the U.S., but generally try to meet people abroad as often as possible while remaining in contact via Facebook, Snapchat, and WhatsApp.

While, personally, the U.K. and Sweden remain the most viable destinations if I were to move abroad, Poland isn't far behind in terms of the personalities of the people I've met, the scenery they've showed me, and the cultural/historical depth there. Obviously, take that with a truck load of salt since I've yet to visit.

Working in a startup can be a great way to get a variety of experience. Too much variety can be a trap that furthers appearing as too much of a generalist for later positions. If the startup succeeds and you with it, even better.

But, for getting "established" financially as a human, startups with lower pay that may not succeed can make it more challenging.
Westside traffic was often brought to a halt when Obama came to Los Angeles because he tended to visit some extremely wealthy entertainment figure's home (in Bel Air or Beverly Hills or Holmby Hills etc) in order to participate in a fund raiser.

It got to the point where a lot of LA commuters, who overwhelmingly supported Obama, would wince when they learned the presidential motorcade would be gumming up the traffic.

The LA Times typically reported the route so that LA commuters could stay the hell away from it.
Id call the inner movements of data within google/facebook private networks part of the internet. When i do a google search, or watch a youtube vid, i know i am generating more traffic than the http requests and answer from the edge of google's network. The inner workings of the largest private networks often service the internet, if not by name, and therefore should be included in its total bandwidth. But good luck measuring it.

Doesn't really seem like the author spoke to a lot of actual physicists to write this article. Don't get me wrong, physics majors attract a certain type of intellect, but the vast majority of curriculum (quantum, EM, mechanics) are things THAT HAVE BARELY CHANGED IN THE PAST 50 YEARS. Meanwhile, CS majors come out much more prepared and hirable on the job market.

As far as the machine learning market goes, 90% of the projects require software engineering skills, the last 10% requires being able to go underneath the covers of linear algebra libraries, etc.

I just think the whole physics>cs degree for machine learning argument is not totally persuasive given my experience.

He writes about the origin of the svc (supervisor call) in OS360. They needed a way to keep track of them as they were popping up from all over, so they made a list, and you added yours to it, then other groups could check the list before they wrote another version of the same function.

equity taxed at 40% if the gain is realized?
Man, first of all its a great start to talk about this publicly. So congrats on that. May I suggest trying meditation few min for a week? Try calm app ..its free and has a great 7 day program. (I am not affiliated with calm,just a happy customer)

solition to your problems may be found within your self. I would also suggest on cutting time on the internet. You are only 23 and you have your full lige ahead of you, you have not lost interest...you have probably saturated your brain to the point that it cant take it anymore.

Meditation helped me in my stressful time. I had a common misconception that meditation and zen stuff is all BS and it will slow me down in life. Then i read the book "where ever you go there you are" which completely changed my view. I have been practicing meditation for 2 years now (10-15 min first thing in the morning). This has made a 180 degree change in my life.

Globalised world makes services and goods cheap but at what price ?

I see people and countries wanting self sufficiency and heavily taxing or even banning mega corps.
If production of goods will be so cheap that it will make 90% of workforce obsolete that will effectively leave countries at the mercy of mega corps that can afford r&d and servicing the automation machinery.

People are already fed up with eating meat that has been transported from the other part of the globe or just buying nails or some other basic commodity items that could have been produced locally.
What kind of gpu does this have?
People making the kind of money being discussed here, such that you trigger higher bracket income taxes, have great health insurance in the US as well. Further, decent jobs in the US almost always include health insurance compensation above the salary. I have a brother that works in a pretty normal job earning $42,000 per year (not an outsized salary in the US), he pays $27 per month for his health insurance through his employer, and it's a nice plan. That isn't unusual in the US, health insurance compensation is almost universally ignored in salary comparisons (while the inverse isn't true, the tax based health coverage in other nations is always noted as a perk that should be considered with salaries).

The education system you're referring to is not free at all. The very substantial income taxes in France pay for it.
They have to turn it into some kind of story with more excitement and conflict than "some people who are good at math are getting jobs as engineers".
